VicHealth values innovation highly. Innovation has been a core part our DNA since our inception, and is the starting point of our operating model Innovate, Inform, Integrate.
Like the greatest global organisations, businesses and brands who use innovation to maintain their leading edge, VicHealth views innovation as an essential business practice that enables us to keep delivering better outcomes for Victorians.
Our mandate is to promote good health and improve the lives of Victorians and we have been delivering innovation in health and wellbeing throughout our history.
What do we mean by innovation?
For VicHealth, innovation means discovering how to accelerate health outcomes for Victorians. In other words, discovering the strategies, approaches, insights and collaborations that can put us on a fast track to creating healthier lives.
Our criteria for Innovation
Innovation starts with great ideas. VicHealth looks to discover and support great ideas that show the best promise for improving as many lives in Victoria as possible.
To do this we start with the following four areas. All of these need to be considered before we can determine whether or not we will invest in a great idea:
- Uniqueness: What makes an idea or concept unique? What problem is it trying to solve and what is being done differently that has not been attempted before?
- Priority Practice: Does the idea or concept use one of the methodologies that VicHealth has prioritised as emerging approaches to achieve greater impact? At VicHealth we prioritise Behavioural Insights, Digital Technology, Participatory Democracy and Design, Commercialisation, Collective Impact.
- Theory of Change: What difference will the idea or concept make to the health of Victorians if successfully implemented? How will it improve peoples' lives?
- Level of Impact: If wildly successful, what are the biggest outcomes that could be generated over time? What is the potential for scale and replication?
Innovation at VicHealth is embedded in our operating model, organisation structure, processes and reporting, funding criteria, and systems. We are committed to sharing our knowledge and learnings with our partners and extended network.

Professor Iris Bohnet and Dr Jeni Klugman have partnered with VicHealth as part of its Leading Thinker initiative.
Victoria's Citizens' Jury on Obesity
"We have an obesity problem. How can we make it easier to eat better?"
As part of VicHealth's Leading Thinkers Initiative, we held a Citizens' Jury in October 2015 with the aim of engaging the community in a discussion and debate around potential solutions for overweight and obesity.
Over six weeks, the jury reviewed a number of responses to the question above which were submitted from many different parties. These submissions formed the 'evidence' and covered a number of viewpoints.
VicHealth Innovation Challenges
Kick-starting bright ideas
Launched in 2014, VicHealth's Innovation Challenges invite pitches for initiatives that encourage healthier behaviours in four areas: physical activity, reducing alcohol consumption, mental health and wellbeing via participation in the arts, and improving access to sustainable, nutritious foods.
The most promising ideas are rewarded with start-up funds, our support and a growing network of mentors and capacity builders to test out those solutions in practice.

According to the recenr report published by WalesOnline.co.uk the Southe Wales Police paid out over £160,000 for the last year's claims. Furthermore there are 75 other cases which haven't been given the final verdict yet. The sum which National Welsh Police paid in total rises almost to £300,000.
'The force's decision to pay out does not necessarily equate to any acceptance of liability. As a publicly-funded organisation, we must always be mindful of the cost of cases and the uncertain outcomes of cases heard in court." - claims AssiChief Constable Cliff Filer.
Although the details of the cases are not revealed, it is known that two larges claims were made for £50,000 in total. The police forces are aware that peole who become injured during the arrest may stand up for their rights. Anyway, the huge increase in claims shows that people become more and more aware of their rights. Statistics says that the sum which were paid by the Welsh Police Dpartment in 2007 is £3,108. It has gradually rised up to £28,450 in 2008.

Some of our developers
Our Cloud Devs are Perfect for you!
Our European developers are ready to take on your projects and best of all they will be working from the same time zones as you, minimising any communication delays.
We've helped thousands of businesses find developers to build brands, websites, and apps. Over the past 3 years, websites and apps created by our Ruby on Rails developers have been used by millions of people. We've helped startups like Goziply and Pobi to create websites and apps that stand out.
What can a Ruby on Rails developer do for my business?Looking into building a new web app? There's a good chance you'll need to use Ruby on Rails. It's a development framework used to build web apps, and makes it easier to collaborate and maintain code. Ruby on Rails is mainly used to create web apps, by combining Ruby with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It's been used to create some of the world's biggest apps, like Twitter, Shopify, Groupon, and Airbnb. Here's why.
Rapid Development within BudgetA start up needs to carry out tremendous amount of development with limited resource. Ruby on Rails is meant for speed and simplicity. Guided by principles, this framework allows starups to build application with limited budget while maintaining high quality. All rails have a common structure and when a startup hires an experienced developer, she immediately knows where to find what. Initializers, configs, modules-everything will be at her fingertips immediately. This is very much consistent with the lean structure of a startup.
Strong Ecosystem and High CompatibilityDevelopment speed depends on compatibility with the existing ecosystem. RoR is an open source framework that is free and widely available. It has lots of free plugins (gems) that adds great benefits to the application. Many startups prefer to deploy their apps on a PaaS (Platform as a Service) provider as PaaS significantly lowers initial software adoption cost. Nearly all of these support Ruby on Rails out of the box (Heroku, Engine yard etc). REST API is another buzzword today in web development. Rails incorporates "RESTful Architecture" out of the box. This means startups do not need to hire someone to implement RESTful code. Rails would ensure that anyway.
Symbol of Startup CultureRuby on Rails development gives you a hint of a company's work style and culture. A rails developer needs to be stay up to date with the web and new technologies. It is the nature of the framework to change and evolve rapidly and a RoR developer must keep up with the pace. Facing continues change and development suits with the very essence of a startup.
You're in good company.
Thousands of projects have been completed by Cloud Devs' award-winning design and development pool for some of the world's best companies.

All of our tees are named for women that inspire us to be bold, brave, and badass. Each one is designed and screen-printed right here in our small workshop in the West Valley. We recommend washing the tee inside out in cold water and avoiding the dryer altogether (if you're at all opposed to fading). We, on the other hand, don't really mind the fading – it gives a t-shirt that comfy, vintage feel we love.
The Amelia – I Have No Regrets Flowy Hi-Neck Tank
Ladies, it's okay. Not every decision you make is going to be a stellar one. You've probably had momentary pauses in which you've uttered "oh, damn, that's permanent, isn't it?" (tattoos after an excessive night in Vegas definitely fall into this category…not that we know anything about this…I mean…ahem…). Let's stop beating ourselves up and over-analyzing every little thing. Let's just call it what it is: another chance to get it right. Frankly, some of our worst decisions have turned out to be our best and most told stories (tattoos and all). Our I Have No Regrets design is dedicated to American aviator and champion for the advancement of women in aviation, Amelia E. Upon hearing of her close friend's disappearance, Eleanor Roosevelt is said to have declared, "I know her last words would have been 'I have no regrets'." Designed by Diana & Helene and screen-printed on a hi-neck tank in white or black ink.

CA acquires job scheduling software provider Cybermation
The acquisition of Cybermation eliminates a competitor for CA. But the deal also offers some opportunities for customers of both companies.
The acquisition of Cybermation Inc. by IT giant CA Inc. gives CA customers a clear-cut migration path to an automated job scheduling product. For CA, it means one fewer competitor.
"It's a pretty smart deal at a reasonable price," said Stephen Elliot, research manager at Framingham, Mass.-based analyst firm IDC. "It keeps [Cybermation] out of the hands of BMC and IBM. It's a mature market. If you can get a leading-edge technology at a fair price, while taking out a competitor, you do it."
CA announced yesterday that it reached a deal to acquire Cybermation, a privately held company in Markham, Ontario, for $75 million. According to Islandia, N.Y.-based CA's press release, Cybermation earned $30 million in revenue in 2005 and turned a profit.
CA said it would market Cybermation's job scheduling software as standalone products, and it would also integrate them into CA's larger workload automation solutions portfolio.
However, Elliot warned that maintaining Cybermation's high level of customer support could be a challenge for CA.
"Since it was a relatively small company, they surveyed their customers, they had high renewal rates, and they took development feedback from customers and put it into the product," Elliot said. "That's an area CA has been challenged with throughout the company. There are some good practices there [in Cybermation] that CA can duplicate."
Elliot said CA will benefit from adding a leading job scheduling software solution to its portfolio. With Cybermation in the fold, CA will now have a "migration path toward next-generation job scheduling" for its existing customers. This could help retain customers that CA may otherwise have lost to BMC Software Inc. or IBM.
"Cybermation was winning deals because of their architecture, interfaces and integration. These are three areas that existing CA customers will want to take a look at as they upgrade their job scheduling and event-driven automation," Elliot said.
There could be some headaches on the account management side as CA's larger sales force and Cybermation's sales force sort out who gets paid for what and when, Elliot said.
Overall CA has taken a step toward growing its job scheduling software business. Elliot said CA needs to add new customer contracts in the market. Buying a competitor was a "good first step," he said, but CA needs to grow the business. He said Cybermation's talented customer management team could help.

The death of a loved one. A financial catastrophe. The disappearance of a child. A sexual assault. The anticipation of a life-altering diagnosis. A journey into the unknown. These are some of the situations in which pastors and other caregivers are called to provide a ministry of presence – an embodiment of God's love for those who are lonely, hurting, or anxious – because words are insufficient and our ability to do something is limited.
In the pastoral life, much emphasis is placed on this ministry of presence, and for good reason. Christians are people of the incarnation, in which God put God's own body on the line so that humankind might feel the divine breath, touch the divine's clothing, and experience the divine washing our dirty, smelly feet. Through Jesus God was born into the world, moved about the world, and was murdered by the world, yet came back from death to show off scars and cook fish on the beach for friends. Jesus was fully present to us, and in being so he demonstrated God's own desire to be close to us.
And yet, we can't always be present. Sometimes the reasons are logistical; time and geography do not permit. Sometimes the reasons are that we have multiple pulls on our ministry at the same time. And sometimes the reasons are that we have nothing left to give at that moment. At this point self-care becomes an imperative rather than merely a good idea. Many of us resist self-care, though, because of critical voices that come from within us and beyond us and because we follow a Christ who made time for others, even when he desperately needed to catch his breath. We equate self-care with selfishness, and we talk ourselves out of it.
It's time to reframe self-care. Last week at Nevertheless She Preached, I was introduced to the concept of a ministry of absence by Jaime Clark-Soles, professor of New Testament at Perkins School of Theology. The term, however, was coined by Henri Nouwen. Nouwen believed that pastors had become so available that there was not enough space for the Holy Spirit to move in the lives of God's people. In other words, parishioners have become dependent on pastors rather than on God, and pastors have become too eager to get their needs to be needed met by responding to every care request. Occasionally making ourselves scarce not only gives our bodies, hearts, and egos a rest, then, but also allows our people to strengthen their relationships with the God who wants good for them.
In a faith centered on incarnation and a vocation born out of that faith, how does a ministry of absence compute? The reality that Jesus is no longer physically with us provides a good start. He was raised from the dead, he had a few meetings with the disciples to boost their confidence for the work ahead…and then he ascended. He took off into the clouds before the disciples thought they were ready to discern and do on their own. They had a lot to argue about and figure out, and they did it with the help of the Holy Spirit. They likely wouldn't have done it at all if Jesus had still been hanging around. For one thing, the Spirit did not descend until Jesus ascended. And Jesus' presence enabled the disciples' dependence, whereas his absence activated their boldness. That boldness built the body of Christ here on earth, through which the incarnation lives on, spreads the good news, and cares for the least of these.
There are times to minister through your presence, and there are times to minister through your absence. Prayerfully consider what your indicators might be that one or the other is called for, then go forth in faith that the Spirit will fill whatever space you do not.
[This post is the first of four upcoming reflections inspired by Nevertheless She Preached.]

European stocks closed higher on rising expectations of a cut in U.S. interest rates.
The London FTSE-100 , Paris CAC-40 and Frankfurt DAX were higher, with the FTSE CNBC Global 300 also in positive territory.
U.S. shares held on to gains earlier in the day even though a speech by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke did not offer any clues on rates movements at the Fed's meeting next week.
Investors also were encouraged by remarks by European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet that the European financial system was sound despite the current market correction.
Investors' spirits also were lifted by OPEC's decision to raise output by 500,000 barrels per day, even if oil prices jumped after the announcement as some market players had speculated that the cartel may raise output by as much as 1 million bpd.
Higher oil prices added to concerns weighing on automakers at the start of the Frankfurt Motor Show, as fears of a slowing U.S. consumer looked set to dominate the green-focused event.
However, the auto sector posted strong gains in Europe, with shares of Germany's BMW rising nearly 2% after its CEO said the subprime crisis had no impact on its U.S. business and made bullish predictions on sales.
Shares in DaimlerChrysler were 1% up while Porsche shares jumped 3.3% after its CEO said the company wants to boost its share in Volkswagen.
The battered banking sector seemed to rebound, with shares in Europe's biggest banks firmly in the green. Deutsche Bank shares rose 1.71% while French BNP Paribas gained 1.6%.
Shares of U.K. bank Barclays jumped 4.7% after comments by president Bob Diamond on Monday suggested the bank's chances of taking over ABN Amro were slimming.
In other corporate news, shares of clothes retailer Next jumped 3.4% on a forecast-beating first-half profit.

If I could change one thing about my trip, I would definitely have extended my visit to Italy's capital, Rome. Having only stayed three days there, I can tell you it was certainly not enough time. My Italian adventure began in Venice and I thought, "Venice is so beautiful, I love it!" Then I went to Florence and thought, "Florence is incredible, I may even like it more than Venice." That was until I arrived in Rome, the ultimate "bae" of my trip. There is something so magical about this bustling Italian city. I think it's the fact that Rome is a city packed with such rich culture and history yet it runs just like any other modern city.
I walked my way through Italy but warning: it does take a bit of time and can be tiring.
Here's what I got to see:
- Ah, the famous Trevi Fountain. It was actually one of the first things I saw and unfortuantly it was under restoration. Regardless, it was stunning because you could still see parts sculptures. I really wanted a Lizzie Mcguire movie moment where I throw my coin into the fountain and someone mistakes me as their ex girlfriend, who is also super famous Italian pop singer. *sigh* I guess that's what dreams are made of, right?
- Santa Maria in Travstevere was a lovely church to visit. If you have time, go see it.
- Pantheon was a classic.
- Piazza Novona was one of my favorite piazzas. It is just so beautiful!
- Villa Borghese, which I did not actually get to see. I went on a Monday, forgetting they are open Tuesday– Saturday. But on my way there, I passed by the Piazza di Spagna, and Piazza del Polpolo (which is quite amazing.)
- Piazza del Polpol is near the garden of Villa Borghese. Be sure to climb up the stairs to the top because you get an a wonderful view of Rome.
- The best view of Rome, for me, was on the top of Castel Sant'Angelo. It is a must see!
- I had a whole day dedicated to the Vatican. Protip: Book your Vatican museum tickets online. There is nothing in the world more satisfying than walking right past a long line of people who don't have their tickets and knowing you don't have to wait because you thought ahead. Bamn!
- The Vatican Museum is amazing, of course. My biggest issue was the massive crowd of people inside. You're trying to enjoy the overwhelming amount of art while trying not to get trampled over tours or other people. Also being suffocated by those who don't realize they have bad body odor was not pleasant. I ended up speeding through the beautiful rooms, hardly getting a chance to enjoy them (keep in mind, I'm that type of person where if there is a massive crowd- I get a bit cranky).
- The museum leads to the Sistine Chapel. I have to tell you, it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I walked in and my jaw dropped. Sadly, it was super crowded but I was lucky enough to snag a seat on the side of the wall and could take everything in from there. It truly is an awe inspiring work of art, every inch of that room.
- A style of painting I had noticed throughout Italy was fresco painting. The Sistine Chapel was so well crafted that I couldn't tell if the ceiling actually curved because of the structural formation, or it was Michelangelo working his magic.
- Basilica di San Pietro is one of the most breathtaking churches I have ever been in. Churches tend to be quite impressive, especially in Europe I find, but this one had me at a loss for words. Not to mention "La Pieta" by Michelangelo is here. Normally, I'm not an overly emotional person. Dramatic, yes, but tears don't come easily to me. Yet for some reason, in this church, I found myself fighting back tears. It was beyond anything I could have imagined.
- The church is free to enter so don't let the guys who try to make you pay for things trick you! They are EVERYWHERE. Almost every three steps, you take you will find one of these guys trying to trick you out of your money. Just wait in line and put your bag through a metal detector.
- Protip: Most churches in Italy require you to dress appropriately (no shorts). So try to find something that goes down to your knees and to cover your shoulders. If you're wearing a dress to your knees but have on a strappy top, just bring a scarf to cover up.
- The Colosseum was so cool! Another classic to add to your list.
- The Altare della Patria, known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, is located in Piazza Venezia. It physically took my breath away, no joke. I was in awe for a long while and even when I came back to it later. It is a must see that isn't mentioned in the tour books for some reason but I highly recommend it.
- Villa Farnesina is lovely, if you have some extra time stop by and go see it! The ceiling artwork is just stunning.

The following is a press release from Secular Woman.First National Organization for Atheist Women Mobilizes
Leadership Development Drives Mission
Atlanta, Georgia – June 28, 2012. Secular Woman, Inc. makes its debut today as the first national membership organization dedicated exclusively to advancing the interests of atheist, humanist and other non-religious women. The organization's stated vision is "a future in which women without supernatural beliefs have the opportunities and resources they need to participate openly and confidently as respected voices of leadership in the secular community and every aspect of American society."
Secular identity organizations often struggle to attract and retain female members, lending weight to surveys which typically characterize women as more spiritual than men. Secular Woman will offer its members conference travel grants, profiles of secular women, achievement awards and other programming designed to add gender diversity to secular events and bring more nonbelieving women out of the closet and into roles of leadership.
Through strategic partnerships, Secular Woman will also advocate for equal pay, reproductive choice, and marriage equality, addressing political trends the group sees as ideologically-motivated threats to its members' freedom of conscience. "The 'War on Women' dovetailing with the rise of secular activism showed us the time had come for secular women to form our own distinct organization to support our vision of the future," said Kim Rippere, a Secular Woman founder and the organization's first president. "Secular women have always been at front and center of the feminist quest for equality and autonomy."
Rippere is joined on the group's first Board of Directors by co-founders Brandi Braschler, Vice President of Programs; Bridget Gaudette, Vice President of Outreach; and Mary Ellen Sikes, Vice President of Operations. The four women bring a combined total of more than forty years' activism in secular and women's issues to Secular Woman.
"With this organization we plan to focus on promoting the secular female voice, but anyone who supports our mission can join," said Gaudette. "All are vital to the success of Secular Woman and to the overall secular movement."
Secular Woman is an educational non-profit organization whose mission is to amplify the voice, presence, and influence of non-religious women. For more information about Secular Woman visit: www.SecularWoman.org.

Lawyers Swopped Their Robes for Overalls to Build Houses for Three Families in Katlehong, Ekurhuleni
After successfully building a house for Alice Kutu and her family in January this year, Spoor & Fisher extended a challenge to other firms in the legal community to join us in building houses and to contribute towards the upliftment of communities in the Gauteng area.
Two law firms, Smith Tabata Buchanan Boyes (STRB) and Werksmans Attorneys, responded to the challenge and together, under the auspices of the Gauteng Legal Community, we built three houses for the Letiya, Nyathi and Sibiya families. The law firms worked in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity and its partner KAVOSHS (Katlehong South Vosloorus Self-Help Housing Scheme), who supplied the building materials and the building expertise.
In a ceremony which took place on 5 August 2007, the three families received the keys to their new homes. They also received clothes, household goods, trees and a vegetable patch which were donated by the staff and partners of Spoor & Fisher, as well as other corporate sponsors.
The Gauteng Legal House Build will now become an annual event and more firms have expressed an interest in joining us for the next build.

A top aide to a respected figure in the hip hop world will be dispensing some fatherly-type advice to controversial Chicago teen rapper Keith "Chief Keef" Cozart on Thursday.
Michael Skolnik announced plans to meet with the South Side rapper during Chicago Ideas Week panel on gun violence, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Cozart, 17, came under fire for joking on Twitter about the shooting death of an 18-year-old rival rapper, Joseph "Lil JoJo" Coleman. He later claimed his Twitter account was hacked.
Skolnik said he planned to listen to what Cozart has to say, and that he and Simmons -- who founded Def Jam records and helped create Run DMC -- believe in using celebrity power for the positive, the Sun-Times reported.
Other veteran rappers like Chicago's Common have also mentioned the possibility of meeting with Cozart. One can only hope they get a better response than rapper Lupe Fiasco, who Cozart said he would "smack" after Fiasco said that many of the killers in Chicago look like Keef.
Cozart was also recently booted off Instagram for tweeting a lewd picture of himself involved in a sexual act with a female.
The rapper's popularity rose after Kanye West remixed one of his songs while he was on house arrest at his grandmother's house for a gun charge. He signed with Interscope records and performed at Lollapalooza and Pitchfork this summer.

Beirut / Geneva, 27 May 2016 – While scores are dying at sea in the dangerous Mediterranean crossing, Red Cross and Red Crescent volunteers are helping survivors on both northern and southern shores. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) continues to call for governments and institutions to ensure the protection of migrants, and for all people to recognize their right to safety and dignity.
In the past two days alone, at least 3,000 people were rescued by Italian navy and Libyan coastal guards. While thousands survived, more than 80 are feared to have died in these latest Mediterranean tragedies.
Mr Elias Ghanem, IFRC regional director for the Middle East and North Africa stated: "Thousands of people are still risking their lives every day to reach Europe. Many are dying in the attempt."
Yesterday, Libyan Red Crescent responded to the urgent needs of more than 200 people who were rescued near the port city of Zuwarah. On arrival at the port, Red Crescent volunteers provided survivors with food, blankets and vital health and medical services. Red Crescent teams transferred survivors who required urgent medical attention to nearby hospitals.
"We urge all leaders to focus on providing safe routes for people seeking sanctuary and ensure protections for people who migrate. Local actors like Libyan Red Crescent are among the few who can help survivors of such tragedies," added Mr Ghanem.
Despite the volatile situation in the country, Libyan Red Crescent branches continue to respond to the migration crisis along the country's coastline as well as in other key locations throughout the country with support from the European Union (DG NEAR). Along with providing relief, psychosocial support, and medical assistance, Libyan Red Crescent teams also retrieve the bodies of people who have drowned, ensuring they are transported with respect and dignity before being buried.
As well as providing lifesaving relief, the National Society reconnects migrants with their families in their countries of origin with the support of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The International Organization for Migration (IOM) also works closely with Libyan Red Crescent to ensure those who want can safely return to their countries.
The central Mediterranean is now the main route taken by migrants aiming to reach Europe. With weather conditions set to improve, more people will risk the dangerous journey in flimsy boats. Without immediate action to protect migrants on land and at sea, the number of people killed while seeking safety, security and a better future is likely to increase.

An air fryer comes with several benefits for its user. It uses hot-air circulation; it cooks your ingredient without any oil from all angles. It offers easy clean up and low fat meals and also ultimately helps you avoid unnecessary aroma of the fried food in your kitchen. To get the most out of your air fryer, most of them come with recipe book to help you start right away cooking healthy meal right away. Air fryer can prepare all your favorite dishes like muffins, chicken tenders, chips and French fries.
3 Most Effective Use of Air Fryer
At the touch of your fingers, your appliance will cook healthy, delicious meals that look and taste identical to the ones prepared in oil fryers. An air fryer specializes in pretty much all and by all it means grill, bake, fry and roast. It is equipped with strong plastic and metal material and has several pros to present. Its abilities are to help you prepare various dishes at once and cut back on fatty oils while cooking food within minutes. Every appliance has its cons but an air fryer doesn't have many of them to offer. There are tons of different ways in which you can use your air fryer. Once you are familiar with your air fryer then you can try dehydrators and advanced air fryer baking pans.
Grill in an air fryer
The best thing about grilling your food in your air fryer is that you need not to worry about flipping the ingredient over again and again for equal heating. You just need to shake the pan slightly during the heating session. The hot air will flow around inside the appliance which will then heat up all the sides of your meal. Most of the air fryers come with a grill layer or a grill pan which has a handle which makes it effortless for you to put in and take out food from the fryer. The surface of the grill is capable of quickly soaking up any extra fat that drips and leaves you with grilled to perfection and healthy meals.
Bake in an air fryer
This is not something you will easily believe that you can even bake in an air fryer. Most of the air fryers are equipped with baking pan to prepare goodies like brownies, bread, cupcakes and muffins. It does not matter if you are willing to bake pre heated foods or make a homemade good, the air fryer will allow you to do it all. With the help of air fryer you will be able to bake within 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
Roast and Fry in an air fryer
In your air fryer you can roast your veggies and meats for a perfect dinner. It's not just that it will help you roast your food but you will also be 20 percent faster than an oven. The air fryer will give you same crisp and mouthwatering taste with up to 80 percent less fattening than when cooked in an oil fryer.

The 35-year-old chef Jamie Oliver caused quite a stir with an appearance on Letterman's The Late Show, where for Letterman, Food Revolution may have new meaning.
Oliver explained to Dave and his audience that vanilla ice cream contains a product called castoreum. "It comes from rendered beaver anal gland," said Oliver. "It's in cheap strawberry syrups and vanilla ice cream, and If you like that stuff, next time you put it in your mouth, just think of anal gland."
When Letterman asked why beaver gland, Oliver replied, "More to the point, who found out that a beaver anal gland tastes good?"
According to the Journal of Chemical Ecology, and the publication Chemical Signals in Vertebrates, castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor sac, combined with the beaver's urine used during scent marking of territory.
"Both male and female beavers possess a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail."
In the book, Flavor Ingredients, George A. Burdock and professor Giovanni Fenaroli explain that castoreum is removed from the beaver during the skinning period, and is dried in the sun, or sometimes over burning wood.
"The fresh pouch contains a yellowish, butter-like mass with a fetid, sharp, aromatic odor. The dried pouch is dark-brown, hard and resinous. Castoreum has a warm, animal-sweet odor, becoming more pleasant on dilution."
Medicinal Uses
The use of castoreum dates back to the Romans, who believed the fumes produced by burning castoreum could induce an abortion.
Paracelsus (1493-1541), a Swiss physician who introduced treatments of particular illnesses based on his observation and experience, used castoreum in the treatment of epilepsy.
Castoreum also appeared in the Materia medica (The science or study of drugs: their preparation and properties and uses and effects) until the 18th century, and was used to treat headaches, fever, hysteria, and many other ailments.
Food Additive
Castoreum is now commonly used in both food and beverages, especially as vanilla and raspberry flavoring, and was approved by the FDA as a food additive, referenced as "natural flavoring" in the product's list of ingredients.
A safety assessment report of castoreum appears in the U.S. National Library of Medicine titled "Safety assessment of castoreum extract as a food ingredient".
Abstract — (CAS NO. 8023-83-4; FEMA NO. 2261)
Castoreum extract is a natural product prepared by direct hot-alcohol extraction of castoreum, the dried and macerated castor sac scent glands (and their secretions) from the male or female beaver.
It has been used extensively in perfumery and has been added to food as a flavor ingredient for at least 80 years. Both the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regard castoreum extract as generally recognized as safe (GRAS).
Acute toxicity studies in animals indicate that castoreum extract is nontoxic by both oral and dermal routes of administration and is not irritating or phototoxic to skin. Skin sensitization has not been observed in human subject tests.
Castoreum extract possesses weak antibacterial activity. A long historical use of castoreum extract as a flavoring and fragrance ingredient has resulted in no reports of human adverse reactions.
On the basis of this information, low-level, long-term exposure to castoreum extract does not pose a health risk. The objective of this review is to evaluate the safety-in-use of castoreum extract as a food ingredient.

Holy crap, I can't believe it's only a week now until London Film and Comic Con. There have been more announcements, but once again sadly the only one I'm interested in is a Sunday only, so to any of you that get to meet Matt Smith, know that I am incredibly jealous.
So, I'm sure you must be wondering whether I'm once again going to tell you how little I've done on my cosplay, which based on the past couple of posts would be a pretty fair assumption. But you would wrong, I've finally made some progress with it.
My skirt is finally finished, although I ended up not using my friends sewing machine. I did it by hand, which is all well and good, but I stabbed myself under my fingernail by accident and it really bloody hurt. Seriously, I was worried about bloodstains on the skirt the amount of times I stabbed myself. Or course sewing with a can of cider may not have been my best move.
I used some pink string for the stitches on the hoodie, and tied 2 pink shoelaces together to make the cord for the neck of the hoodie. The string was slightly lighter than the shoelaces though so I used a pink sharpie to colour it in so that they look better.
Hopefully in the next few days the schedule for the comic con will be released, at which point we can start to plan the day, looking when our group has photoshoots. Plus we can see when the free talks are, which are always a good source of entertainment, not to mention great if you need a sit down.
With one week to go you don't have much more time to enter the contest to win the Kaylee bear, so take the chance to enter now. You've got to be in it to win it.

the roadmap for upcoming motorola phones in the next month–as well as 2003–is looking pretty sweet. it includes a number of interesting phones, including upcoming symbian models using the same uis as the nokia 7650 and the sony ericsson p800. according to the leaks, the "paragon ii" is one of the phones, and will feature an internet browser, vpn support, instant messaging, lights and vibration, a speakerphone, support for an sd card, and even wireless features like bluetooth and 802.11. unfortunately, it's not expected until this time next year. there is a less feature-packed version due next month, though, so keep your eyes and ears open. check out some links about the new phones at allabouter6.

[webdev] sortable table
If you create a table with HTML, it's static. It would be great if you could sort it by various columns. How to do that?
Create the static table (like before) and integrate it with a Javascript library that will make it sortable. I found a great solution for this called tablesorter. You can also find it on github, though the first link conatains more documentation and examples.
[webdev] add a stylish Javascript image gallery
I wanted to add a modern Javascript image gallery to a website. I had some thumbnails and I wanted the following: (1) clicking on a thumbnail the image should appear, (2) the gallery must be browsable in both directions.
The Lightbox script worked for me like a charm. I'm not a Javascript expert but I could integrate it in 5 minutes. Awesome script!
Check out the project's home page for a demo.
webapp analyzer
Wappalyzer is a browser extension that identifies software on websites.
It's very useful to learn about nem Javascript frameworks for instance :)
Codecademy – learn HTML, CSS, Javascript
"Codecademy is the easiest way to learn how to code. It's interactive, fun, and you can do it with your friends."
Today I visited a site and it blew the following message in my face: "if you want to use this site, disable AdBlock". What da… ?
Raphaël — JavaScript Library
"Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library." (source)
See for instance the color picker demo.
Scraping AJAX web pages (Part 3)
Don't forget to check out the rest of the series too!
In Part 2 we saw how to download an Ajax-powered webpage. However, there was a problem with that approach: sometimes it terminated too quickly, thus it fetched just part of a page. The problem with Ajax is that we cannot tell for sure when a page is completely downloaded.
So, the solution is to integrate some waiting mechanism in the script. That is, we need the following: "open a given page, wait X seconds, then get the HTML source". Hopefully all Ajax calls will be finished in X seconds. It is you who decides how many seconds to wait. Or, you can analyze the partially downloaded HTML and if something is missing, wait some more.
Let's see how to fetch the page CP002059.1. If you open it in a browser, you'll see a status bar at the bottom that indicates the download progress. For me it takes about 20 seconds to fully get this page. By analyzing the content of the page, we can notice that the string "ORIGIN" appears just once, at the end of the page. So we'll check its presence in a loop and wait until it arrives.
#!/usr/bin/env python from time import sleep from splinter.browser import Browser url = 'http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/CP002059.1' def main(): browser = Browser() browser.visit(url) # variation A: while 'ORIGIN' not in browser.html: sleep(5) # variation B: # sleep(30) # if you think everything arrives in 30 seconds f = open("/tmp/source.html", "w") # save the source in a file print >>f, browser.html f.close() browser.quit() print '__END__' ############################################################################# if __name__ == "__main__": main()
You might be tempted to check the presence of ''. However, don't forget that the browser downloads a plain source first starting with '…' until ''. Then it starts to interpret the source and if it finds some Ajax calls, they will be called, and these calls will expand something in the body of the HTML. So you'll have '' right at the beginning.
Future work
This is not bad but I'm still not fully satisfied. I'd like something like this but without any browser window. If you have a headless solution, let me know. I think it's possible with PhantomJS and/or Zombie.js but I had no time yet to investigate them.

Thanks to our "Teacher Training Bootcamp", I have learned about the enormous number of useful features that Google Calendar has that makes my old iCal look like an amateur!
I really like some of the features that allow Gmail and Google Calendar to work together. If I get an IEP meeting request, it can instantly be scheduled on my calendar, multiple reminders (email, text, and a pop-up) set so I don't forget to attend, and I can make sure I remember to write the IEP by adding it to my task list. Good old iCal couldn't do all that! So I really wanted to utilize Google Calendar for work, but didn't want to deal with my schedules in two places, Google Calendar for work and iCal for my personal life.
As I was learning all about Google Calendar in my quest to get Google Certified, I discovered how to transfer all my iCal calendar entries to my new Google Calendars. Now I could manage all parts of my life in one place with so much more functionality -- a dream come true!
Then go down and click on the pull-down arrow to the right of "Other Calendars" and click on "Import calendar".
In the pop-up window, click on "Choose File" and select the calendar you exported from iCal (.ics file). Then click on the pull down below to choose the new calendar you created to import into. Then click on "Import" at the bottom to complete the process. Repeat this process for each iCal you want to import into Google Calendar.
Congratulations, you now have your iCal events in your Google Calendar!

This was always going to be a either a hit or miss product, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. Now don't take my word completely as I'm sure it works amazingly on some people's hair, but my hair didn't do anything like the product claims.
I picked it up from boots shortly before going on holiday thinking it would be a great no hassle product that would slightly tame my hair into looking acceptable after a day at the pool. The cashier said that it was amazing and that she loved the stuff, so you can imagine my disappointment when I spayed it in my hair and it looked dreadful! I got nothing in the way of beachy mermaid waves; instead I got matted, heavy, sticky hair. I have pretty average hair, not overly thick, but not thin so I tried multiple ways to get the desired look. I even tried straightening my hair before spraying the product, but nothing worked. It made my hair feel disgusting and whenever I had used it, I wanted to wash it out right away.
Despite this, it does smell great with a summery, citrus, salty scent that is pleasant and it does come in an attractive bottle. I just think a quick hair curl would have been a much nicer way to get this look. At £3.99 it was not too expensive, but I expected so much more from this product.
Have you tried the got2b beach matt mermaid look texturizing salt spray? Did you get mermaid waves?

Month: June 2014
A Powerful Triple Realignment Is Here! > Center of the Sun
Powerful linage lines, passed down from the starry DNA of females . . . grandmother to mother to child to grandchild, are being cleared out with energy about as gentle as a cosmic roto-rooter. For many life is feeling like it is crowding in on us like a cosmic trash compactor. Ancient, ancestral, lineages lines are being cleared and readied for the next step in our landing sequence into new territory.
Creation lineage lines, that link through the divine feminine and ancient, ancestral DNA, are necessary for manifesting a world that is supportive and unconditionally loving to all life. This is the way it has been done in the ancient past when we anchored to Earth for the first time, and this process will be used again to anchor new codes of creation for a new world where love, harmony and balance are key elements.
This powerful creative process could not be completed in pristine form without divine male energies. The divine male is a powerful protection . . . a sacred chalice if you will . . . to contain, protect, and magnify the powerful creation energy process of the divine feminine. Male lineage lines are also being reamed out (luckily with less grief and emotion) so as to be of full support in holding space for the creating process in this historic landing sequence.
Healing must come on all levels now. The universe will allow nothing short of this perfection; healing between females . . . between males . . . between females and males . . . and between various ancestral lineages lines. Rearrangements and clearings are happening at record speeds. This process is full of changes that, when we are attached to them, will cause pain, loss and grief.
Unsupportive harmful, twisted and disjointed energy have contaminated these powerful, creation lineage lines for as long as we remember. They were corrupted in the end days of Atlantis. This is when the divine feminine was all but destroyed and only kept alive by a handful of courageous rebels that went underground. Creation lineage lines are now being cleared for re-entry into this next cosmic cycle, but this is also flushing out anything that is out of alignment and up to the surface. This process hurts. It causes loss, anger, depression and even loss of all hope. The lineage lines that connect all grandmothers, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, etc… are being realigned while ascension (landing) codes and laws of nature are being rewritten and re-coded.
As painful and cathartic as this phase of the landing process is, underneath is a great clarity and a long awaited freedom. Huge stuff going on here . . . HUGE. Stay diligent to your light work, and stay open to the unexpected. Remember to feed loving actions and thoughts, and starve the hateful and angry actions and thoughts. What you feed now will spread like a pandemic. I know you want it to be a love pandemic . . . yes? This is up to you. Do you want love and support in your world, or a world that is void of love? Our actions, thoughts, feeling and emotions are creating our world right NOW. These are powerful and very underestimated forces of nature that have now come in contact with much higher frequencies. This magnification may be overwhelming to many, and it can blow us out unless we stay grounded and not feed the ugly monsters in our past that loop endlessly in our heads.
On top of this powerful, lineage realignment, there has been quite a huge conscious course correction for the planet in its landing sequence which has been magnified by another powerful full moon and Solstice. We are still in this course correction until the end of summer. So hang on! When you add these powerful events to the fact that time itself is beginning to wobble, bend, fold and over on itself creating portals or wormholes in dimensions, humans are scrambling to keep our heads above water. Portals are beginning to open. We saw the beginning of this process of time bending and portals opening quite clearly while we were on retreat on Maui. The Ancient Stone Guardians, the Night Walkers and Cloud People only shared a small fraction of what is coming up soon. (my gratitude was huge that they shared anything at all with me) The Ancients ones are watching. They are actively waiting for a mass return… for what, they left as a mystery for now.

The Energies of July 2014 > Uriel Heals
In the 2014 predictions, which you can read here, I wrote that the second half of 2014 would be much different than the first half and that period begins on July 1. It is quite appropriate that the month begins with Mercury turning direct and during the month Mars and Saturn will both end their long retrogrades, and four planets will change signs. That's a lot of activity for one month but we are ready for it, aren't we? July will open the doors to change, releasing a lot of stagnant energy and inviting us to step into the changes and transformation we have been waiting to make for a long time. That time we have been hoping and waiting for is now here. All we have to do is decide what we're going to do with the energy.
Your Choices
Your earth plane existence has never been about My will, My choice or My decision. It always has been and always will be about

Today we remain composed in all things. Doing so keeps the grid of the collective consciousness firmly in place. We think before taking action or rushing into anything. We take the time to prepare for things that are important instead of winging it. By maintaining our composure, our point is made, our voice is heard, our destiny is aligned.

The drawings I include in my posts are a visual language and can be used as meditation tools to awaken codes of remembrance within us all. "Remembering what?" you may ask.

10 Communication Tools: Day 195, Men 13
1. Make sure you have the full attention of the person to whom you wish to speak. Ask them if this is an appropriate time to have a conversation. It would be good to give an approximate length of time you expect to converse. Thus, you are more likely to have the full attention of the one you wish to communicate with.
2. When you are in conversation with another, give them your full attention. Many people are performing several activities, including doodling while others speak. This is a sure sign that your thoughts and interest are not in the Now moment and are focused elsewhere.
3. Stay focused on one topic to avoid confusion. When appropriate, repeat what the speaker is saying in order to gain clarity. This may seem tedious, but can avoid confusion and emotional upset if the meaning is understood.
4. Avoid unnecessary…

Israel Dawson
Thu, Oct 30, 2014, 1:49 pm — Robert Valiente...
Graduate Student, SocDoc Program - Class of '16
Israel David Dawson is a documentarian, agroecologist, activist and educator. He has earned dual B.A.s in Film & Digital Media and Philosophy from UCSC, and in 2011, he acquired a certificate in Ecological Horticulture from the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at UCSC, where he learned the important connections between access to healthy food, and the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Israel grew up in an unstable household and experienced homelessness first hand during his childhood and adolescence. Because of this, he is in a unique position to use his common experience to communicate with honesty and empathy in representing the struggles, thoughts, hopes and dreams of the homeless community. Using footage collected in 2005 for an earlier filmic exploration of the homeless perspectives on Santa Cruz, Israel plans to revisit the community now, ten years later, and create a more dynamic Social Documentary that illustrates the impact "The Great Recession" of 2008 had on the demographics and experiences of the homeless community in Santa Cruz. With his documentary, he plans to explore the lives and thoughts of the people living a "houseless" existence in Santa Cruz to better understand the underlying causes for their displacement. An equally important intention in making this film is to explore the homeless support network available in Santa Cruz and investigate which resources are truly helping the community, and what changes might be needed to make assistance more accessible and reliable. The ultimate goal of this project is to use the stories and perspectives collected during the making of the film to develop an interactive website in which visitors can post their own stories and perspectives and gain clear and accessible direction on how to navigate the social welfare system.

Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson returned to practice on Wednesday -- less than a week after being benched and not traveling with the team for their game against the Saints in New Orleans.
Head coach Todd Bowles has not yet decided if Wilkerson will play against the Chargers on Sunday, but told reporters that if Wilkerson is kept out, it won't be related to discipline.
Wilkerson was very late to the Jets' facility last Friday, which is why he was benched, a source told SNY's Ralph Vacchiano.
Wilkerson spoke with his teammates earlier this week and told them he let them down. However, when asked if he had earned his contract from the Jets, he said he had earned "everything."
Bowles announced the benching last Friday, saying it was a 'coaching decision' -- not injury-related.
Wilkerson had returned to the Jets' facility on Monday, with Bowles saying he was going to keep the situation internal.
Earlier this month, a day after he benched Wilkerson for most of the first quarter because he showed up late to a team meeting, Bowles said he still considers the 28-year-old defensive end a team leader.
It was the third straight year he had been benched for being late to a team meeting.
But Bowles said Wilkerson and linebacker Darron Lee, who was a healthy scratch from the Jets' 38-31 win over the Chiefs for showing up late to practice, have "earned a lot of trust."
"You make a mistake, and you lose a little trust, and you just have to earn it back," Bowles said at the time. "So going forward, we'll go from there."
Last year, Bowles benched Wilkerson for a quarter in a game against the Miami Dolphins for a "coach's decision" when Wilkerson showed up late to a team meeting that week. A week prior, he missed a team walkthrough. Later in 2016, Bowles and Wilkerson reportedly met to address responsibility.

Recollecting my first trip to Cebu since the early 2000's. I lived somewhere near Mandaue when I was a kid, and to come back to this beautiful city brought back memories. I really hope to get the chance to visit again, even if it's for work.
Enjoy my photo diary of our last stop in Cebu with the Magnum team! This was at Abaca Boutique Resort and Restaurant.

The banking and financial services industries are some of the biggest and in some cases most successful users of CRM systems.
If you are interested in banking CRM software you will find the following helpful when deciding which CRM is right for you.
Banking Before CRM Software
The major banks and building societies were some of the first large-scale users of what at the time were called Data Processing Systems.
Over a considerable period of time, individual systems were built to support largely vertical lines of business requirements. This meant, there may have been a customer database for personal banking customers, another one for business banking customers and yet another one for investment product customers etc.
Unfortunately, this meant that one individual might exist on several different customer databases and that made it difficult or sometimes impossible for the bank to understand its relationship with a single individual or company as a whole.
As a result of these problem legacies, the banks were some of the first organisations to move into CRM on a large scale basis.

The Challenge For Banks and CRM Software
The major problem for financial services organisations is that they simply could not afford to scrap and replace their individual line of business transaction processing systems overnight. The cost and risk scenarios were simply too great to contemplate.
However, what they could do is to extract information from their individual systems, process it to try and remove duplication and errors, then consolidate it for the purposes of things such as customer analysis and marketing.
The sophistication of a bank's requirements normally meant that these solutions would be provided by major corporate software organisations and international consultancies.
Major Providers Of Banking CRM Software
It is difficult to say which banking CRM provider is best as they all offer different features which will suit individual companies more than others.
However, certain solutions providers are revered more than others in this particular industry including:
SAP software can help users to take advantage of its in-memory analytics, projecting capability, and mobile accessibility. It can accurately target offers to well chosen customers more precisely by delivering personalised and adaptable messages.
With SAP it is possible to engage with customers effortlessly across all types of channels. All contact with customers can be maintained in just one place, providing banks with invaluable and usable analytics.
The overriding benefit of this system is the Real-time customer insight it provides, which can be tracked including any social media reactions.
IBM CRM gives an enhanced understanding of customer expectations, it is then possible to link this information in with other online systems. IBM CRM is built on scalable architecture that can go from small data sets to large volumes of data making it very accessible to growing customer bases.
From inside the CRM software, it is possible to select ready to go marketing email templates for adaptable email distributions so you can nurture campaigns from start to end.
From its impressive lead scoring capacity to its advanced reporting and analytics, this CRM offers the tools for marketing departments to track and improve company activities. This is a scalable tool, with years of experience on their closest competitor, meaning they offer a more integrated experience and more natural connections.
The capacity to track, record, report and analyse data is enormously valuable. The product allows banks to establish an emotional and more pertinent connection with their clients.
Microsoft is the recognised industry leader, with all of the most recent honours and awards that go along with this. Implementing this CRM is a great chance to bring everything together in order to progress the overall operations your finance company.
If staff are familiar with using other Microsoft products then this CRM feels like you are using just another Microsoft Office programme. The screen will appear similar to using explorer in Windows, making it easy for any new users anywhere to catch on very fast.
Sage CRM offers users a compilation of applications designed to give access to a unique customer relationship management platform. Sage can be rapidly deployed and is uncomplicated to learn. As it is very configurable, Sage users are able to shape it around single requirements.
It is easy to integrate Sage CRM with other applications using the interactive dashboard. It also provides a number of visual fundamentals that deliver a diversity of reporting statistics. The capability for experienced staff to customize their experience gives each user their own personal feel.
NetSuite has become a well-liked software option among companies that are looking for consistency and efficiency. Visitor information on your website can be simply tracked and all your customer data can be routinely transferred into the software.
This software is also easy to use, and it offers a multitude of features which include customer interaction tools, marketing management, lead tracking, and the capability to send individual or mass emails along with other multifunctional tools. This is a user friendly CRM program and is just right for those who are eager to enjoy minimalism combined with effectiveness.
Originally, most CRM repositories and functionality would probably have sat on the bank's own information technology architecture.
Today, it is possible that increasing numbers of organisations will be buying a hosted CRM solution that resides in the cloud. However, specifically in the case of financial services organisations, there may be data protection issues involved in moving personal financial information out of the legal jurisdiction governing the bank and into the ether of the cloud.
Banking CRM Cost
Organisations such as the above may be extremely reluctant to offer public domain cost information, as pricing is often worked out on a bespoke basis dependant on a company's size and requirements.
In practice, prices may be subject to very significant variation between suppliers. It should be noted that costs will be very different depending on whether you opt for a hosted CRM solution or pay a monthly fee for a cloud service. With a hosted option there will be significant onboarding costs but monthly costs may not be at steep.

Breaking News: Jeff Pendergraph to have hip surgery
We've heard from a reliable source that power forward Jeff Pendergraph, the 31st pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, will have hip surgery this week and is expected to be out for the majority of the 2009-10 season. Pendergraph is said to have injured his hip participating in NBA assistant coach Tim Grgurich's summer camp in Las Vegas this past August. The Blazers have neither confirmed nor denied this story. The team has yet to sign Pendergraph to a rookie contract.
Update 9:00 pm ET: We've received confirmation from the Blazers that Pendergraph is scheduled for left-hip surgery this Wednesday. Timetable for return will be set after the surgery, but as we reported earlier today, Pendergraph is expected to miss most of the season.
Tuesday Update: This from the Blazers Twitter account:
Trail Blazers sign Jeff Pendergraph, who will undergo hip surgery on Wednesday.
Nice to see the team taking care of their draft pick. I don't think it's too much to say that there's a few teams in the league that wouldn't have signed Pendergraph just to save a couple dollars.
