Brendan geeks out over this collect, and Holli is like, meh. Also, an irreverent solution to how confusing it is to tell Elijah and Elisha apart.
This week's collect:
Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(Book of Common Prayer, page 230)

It was all about bugs and not birds when eight CBC members met at Westlake to visit the Bio Control Unit on Tuesday 4 April 2017. Most of us are aware of the problem with the invasive Water Hyacinth at the Strandfontein Birding Area, but there are several other invasive water weeds choking some of our rivers, dams and waterways.
The Cape Town City's Invasive Species Unit is now known as the Green Jobs Unit and their project manager, Sisanda Nune, gave us an introductory slide presentation outlining the history of the importation of the useful insects which are now used to control these weeds, as well as the need for careful research before they could be released into our country.
We then moved across the road to one of the two plastic domes housing eight to ten water tanks, some with flourishing crops of Water Hyacinth, Parrot's Feather, Kariba Weed and Water Lettuce, and others in which the relevant control insects were already breeding. These plants were looking less happy and decidedly nibbled. We were shown some of the insects, mostly to be found deep inside the inner leaves. Some of these insects are so small that "collection" has to be done with a fine paintbrush and a steady hand. Staff present assured us that this was no problem!
Any official bodies with an invasive water weed problem should contact the Green Jobs Unit, giving precise details including accurate plant identification, exact location and outlining the extent of the problem.
They really do a great (green) job.
Thank you to John Fincham for the photographs.

30 Apr Disaster drill to be conducted at HDH on May 1
Please note you may see increased activity in and around the hospital tomorrow morning, Wednesday, May 1. An Oregon Health Authority-sponsored disaster exercise is being conducted statewide to train staff and partners on responding to an intentional release of plague. The focus of the exercise is on quickly getting antibiotics into communities to treat people and prevent the disease's spread. Operation OX ("Oregon Exercise") is running from April 30 to May 2, and Harney District Hospital will be participating in the exercise by conducting a drill on Wednesday morning, May 1. The exercise will simulate a response to the release of plague, and how medications and medical supplies—known as "medical countermeasures"—are requested, received, distributed and dispensed from the Strategic National Stockpile.
Drills such as this are a regular part of HDH's efforts to be prepared to serve the community in the event of any type of disaster.

What's been happening?
Three months on from our last update, our Community Outreach Arts Program at KCDI has now more than four hundred primary school children participating in lessons on Pin Peat and Mahori music, classical Cambodian dance and folk dance and also Yike theatre.
Our classes continue to be held three times a week, but lessons have multiplied, because of the demand.
We are working in close cooperation with the Departments of Culture and Education, as well as heads of local primary schools, they are assisting us as we coordinate diffierent students from different schools. They have asked us to help them by reaching out to as many children as possible to share Cambodian performing arts, because there is growing concern about the loss of Cambodia's cultural heritage.
Many children attending KCDI are very poor and would otherwise have had no access to this kind of experience or opportunity. Thank you for your help!
Meanwhile the more experienced students on our Boarding Program were invited by the Department of Culture together with their teachers to perform at the Regional Performances in Sihanoukville from the 25 - 28th November 2013. They performed the "Kiri Bokor sambo tomchet dance", especially coreographed by KCDI dance teachers. They were awarded a trophy at the end of the performance.
After the performance Sreida* said "I am very pleased and grateful to my group for all the hard work they did to achieve this goal".
What's Next?
Community Art Outreach students did their first public performance at KCDI and now both they and resident children on the KCDI Boarding Program, will be preparing for examinations for the coming year, held by the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. These exams help provide them with goals to achieve and for those wanting to have a future in the performing arts, the yearly exams and the final Diploma and Baccalaureate are essential qualifications for a career.
What can you do?
Please keep supporting us. Your help has been so important so far. Tell everyone you know about us and share our work on your social networks, (face-book, twitter e-mail). Please spread the word that it is easy to give a simple donation on-line through our page on Global Giving.
From everyone here at KCDI, we send you our profound thanks and wish you all a most Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year 2014!
* For the sake of Privacy, we do not mention the student's real name. All photographs are printed here with permission given by the students and teachers of KCDI.
What's been happening?
The Khmer Cultural Development Institute Arts Outreach Program has continued over the past three months. We've recruited a new classical dance teacher, as the previous teacher retired, ensuring the classical dance program has a high level, experience instructor.
Classes have been held three times a week in the following art forms:
The Pchum Ben festival season is in full swing and the school will be closed for one week to give staff and students a chance to celebrate with their families. Pchum Ben is the time of the year when Cambodians pay respect to their ancestors. Monks chant throughout the night and families visit the pagodas to make offerings.
From one of our students:
Channika* has been training with KCDI for eight years. She has studied Classical and Folk Dances as well as music (Pin Peat). The school director says she is good at playing the Ronead Ek instrument and is very talented at Classical Dance. Channika says:
"KCDI is not only important for me but also for those who have less access or no access to education and art training. If there was no KCDI, the poor children have no access to arts and also higher education. I would stop my studies if KCDI did not support me here and I wish to be a Classical Dance trainer in the future."
Channika is now 18 and hopes that if KCDI's Arts Outreach Program continues, she will be able to return to the school as a teacher.
*Students' names are changed to protect their privacy
What's next?
Classes will start up again after the Pchum Ben holiday on October 7th. Students will continue preparing for their first performance in November. New students in the Outreach Program have now been attending classes for 3 months and are slowly but surely expanding their repertoire, learning more music, more dances and linking to their cultural heritage in ways they have never had the opportunity to do before.
What can you do?
We still need to raise further funds in order to be able to continue the Outreach Program. Please spread the word about our school and programs through your networks, on Facebook, by email, Twitter and so on. Tell your friends and family they can support us on GlobalGiving with a simple online donation.
From all the students and staff at KCDI, a big thank you for your support!
What's been happening?
The Khmer Cultural Development Institute Arts Outreach Program started in May thanks to the generous support of our donors on GlobalGiving. Classes are now in full swing after an audition process that involved hundreds of children from local schools. More students have been enrolled than originally thought would be, and the teachers and masters at the school are excited to be passing on their skills and knowledge to so many new students.
Classes have been held three times a week in the following art forms:
Older students who have been training at KCDI for many years, are continuing their classes and expanding their repertoire. They continue to put on monthly performances for the public and tourist groups. As well, they are role models for the new generation of students, providing them a glimpse of the future performers they will become.
What's next?
Classes will continue through the public school holidays from July to September. Students will start preparing for their first performance in November. They will gain important skills in performing and building their confidencem preparing them for a future as performance artists. KDCI organizes monthly performances for the public, giving the community an opportunity to view live Khmer traditional arts, an opportunity not available anywhere else in the area. \

Product Description
This beautiful 3 Oz Silver coin is dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of one of the most important human event – the Moon Landing. The coin features an extraordinary real insert of the Kapton thermal protection for the Apollo 11, features the Smartminting technology and comes in a case, along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Strictly Limited mintage of only 205 pieces worldwide!
Moon Landing
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two people on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC. Armstrong became the first person to step onto the lunar surface six hours after landing on July 21 at 02:56:15 UTC; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material to bring back to Earth. Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface. Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21.5 hours on the lunar surface before rejoining Columbia in lunar orbit. Apollo 11 was launched by a Saturn V rocket from Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, on July 16 at 9:32 am EDT (13:32 UTC) and was the fifth manned mission of NASA's Apollo program. The Apollo spacecraft had three parts: a command module (CM) with a cabin for the three astronauts, and the only part that returned to Earth; a service module (SM), which supported the command module with propulsion, electrical power, oxygen, and water; and a lunar module (LM) that had two stages – a descent stage for landing on the Moon, and an ascent stage to place the astronauts back into lunar orbit.
The reverse of the coin features a beautiful and coloured image of the Apollo 11 command module on the Moon, over a background with stars and our wonderful earth. The bottom of the reverse features the incredible Kapton foil insert and the inscription: "1969-2019" – the year of the mission and the year of issue. All around the coin, the inscription: "THIS KAPTON FOIL PROVIDED THERMAL PROTECTION FOR THE APOLLO 11 COMMAND MODULE ON ITS FLIGHT TO THE MOON AND BACK". The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – The name of the Queen, "COOK ISLANDS" – the issuing country and "20 DOLLARS" – the face value.

[CLOSED]: Administrative Detention for Facebook Posts
Kishorchandra Wangkhem, a journalist based in Manipur, India, was arrested in August, and again in November 2018, because of Facebook posts where he criticized the government. While he was released on bail in both cases, on 27 November, he was arrested under the National Security Act (NSA). This draconian administrative detention law allows for him to be imprisoned for 12 months without charge or trial, in violation of regular criminal justice safeguards. The High Court of Manipur will hear his challenge to his detention under the NSA on 1 February 2019.
This is not the first time Kishorchandra Wangkhem has been detained for his posts on Facebook. He was arrested on 9 August 2018, for Facebook posts two days prior, where he criticised the state government. He was arrested for the alleged offences of 'making statements promoting enmity and ill will' and 'defamation'; he was subsequently released on bail. On 20 November 2018, he was arrested for the alleged offence of 'sedition', in relation to Facebook videos he posted on 19 November that criticized the Chief Minister of Manipur and the Prime Minister of India. He was released on bail on 26 November, as the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Imphal West, noted that he was merely expressing his opinion. However, he was taken into custody under the NSA the following day.
Amnesty International believes that the detention of Kishorchandra Wangkhem is politically motivated, in light of his multiple arrests for expressing his opinion, under vague, overbroad, draconian and repressive legislations. These legislations have been repeatedly used to silence journalists and human rights defenders. These actions by the authorities in Manipur are a grave violation of the right to freedom of expression.
Sign the petition to call on the Chief Minister of Manipur to immediately release Kishorchandra Wangkhem!

Event Concept:
For the last two months, we have been creating and planning a live music event as part of our Events Management module. Our final event is called Revolution Live and will be taking place on Monday 25th March @ Revolution in Cheltenham.
The concept of our event is to make University music events more inclusive of all students across courses and social groups. We believe the best way to do this is by finding common ground amongst students, drinking, and nights out. Therefore, we have modeled our gig on being 'for the masses' tailoring different elements to try and appeal to as many people as possible. For example, our artists are 'pop' singer-songwriters that should appeal to most music tastes, our marketing is informative but visually appealing, our costs are low and our partners UOG Rugby are able to reach out to an alternative student community.
Venue Liasion
After viewing the different venue possibilities, we decided that Revolution in Cheltenham would be the most suitable for our event. The factors that helped us make our decision was its capacity as we expect this event to be larger than our previous, it's the location as it is close to MooMoo Clubrooms, and the reputation it has amongst students.
I, therefore, got in contact via email with the Events Co-ordinator at Revolution pitching the idea to her to see if she was interested. Thankfully she was and as a group, we went in for a meeting to discuss our ideas and how they could accommodate these.
The meeting was a success and we booked the venue with no fee, agreed that it would be a ticketed event and that Revolution was able to provide our attendees with drinks deals to lower the price. As all of this was verbally agreed, so I requested an event proposal to have everything discussed in writing.
I have attached the email correspondence and the Event Proposal below.
We plan to get back in contact with the venue a few days before the event to confirm any final details that may arise.
Artist Booking:
As we have learned through numerous different modules and overall throughout the course, picking appropriate artists for either events or projects is very important.
For our event, we wanted artists who would appeal to a large demographic as our target audience spans different genders, social groups, and interests. The decision we made was to have artists that could be categories into the 'pop' genre as we believe this is the most inclusive, compared to perhaps other artists at uni who are more rock-based or soulful.
We began planning potential artists by writing a list of different University artists that we like and then we came together to discuss who would be the best fit for the event, both in terms of suiting the audience as well as logistically in terms of tech.
The final three artists we chose were:
Adam Thorn:
We chose to have Adam headline our gig as he has built a strong following in Cheltenham through playing regularly at music events, in particular, UOG Rugby's event Tash Bash. He also has great stage presence and a set of popular covers which will appeal to our audience.
Joel Francis:
Joel is usually seen as the frontman of band The Joey Bill, however, we have booked him for a solo set at our event because we couldn't logistically host a full band at the venue with limited staging. Joel was chosen because he has very strong vocals which we believe will carry well in our venue and has already built a following through his band. We are also huge fans of his latest release and believe that our audience will enjoy this along with his covers.
Sabrina was chosen as she is a brand new pop artist with strong branding and catchy new single. We believe that this will translate well through our marketing campaign and will hold well as an opener for our event as it is upbeat and melodic.
After booking our artists, I sent all of them a follow-up email with information about the event as a whole and attached a contract for each of them to sign. I also requested them to send me their tech specs, ready for our meeting with the sound engineer Charlie and our technician Chris.
Event Crew + Roles
With the event being significantly larger than our previous 'Smokey Joes Live Event' we knew that it would be a larger scale operation both in terms of planning and execution on the day.
Our Roles:
We started the process by allocating us 4 specific roles which played to each of our strengths.
I was allocated Event Co-ordinator because I have experience in planning and working on events from my previous event in October as well as the larger scale Wychwood Festival internship last summer. I also naturally fall into leadership and organisation roles during our other team projects so saw it fit to lead the group and planning process for this one. My responsibilities included bringing all the elements of the event together, putting together event documents, ensuring everyone was on task, and communicating with the venue and all crew.
Emily Mcdonagh was appointed Head of Marketing as she has experience on social media, with a good following and a strong ability to encourage word of mouth. She has also been appointed lead liaison with our UOG Rugby partners, pitching our idea to them and coordinating our marketing efforts.
Jordan Pepin was appointed Head of Liasion, with the responsibility of communicating with our artists and our tech crew. This role included taking the tech crew to our venue to create a plan for sound and staging, prior to the date.
Jake Ormson was appointed Head of Technical with the responsibility of organising equipment, tech specs, and staging. This is because he has the most experience of working with music equipment and an understanding of DJ'ing and sound tech.
Tech Crew:
As none of our group have enough experience to confidently lead the technical side of the event ourselves, we saw it fit to hire a sound engineer and technician to work and consult with us.
We hired Creative Music Tech student, Charlie Bennett, to be our Sound Engineer as we have worked with him before and therefore trust him and know we can rely on him.
We were also lucky enough to have graduate Chris Smee offer his experience. He has been consulting with us throughout the planning process on equipment and what would be the best set up for sound at our event. On the day, he will be working with Charlie on the sound and also in a technical role changing over sets and organising equipment.
Media Crew:
To document our event we decided we wanted a media crew to work with us on capturing footage, photographs and developing promotional material for future projects. I got in contact with Television Production Student Josh Holgate, who agreed he was happy to lead the media crew and run a project with them to develop the videos.
He then distributed a casting call (Attached below) across social media platforms and within his course group to create a media team of videographers. Each videographer will be tasked with a different brief on the night to ensure maximum footage is captured.
Similarly, I contacted photographer Iky to see if he wanted to be involved. Iky has an online portfolio full of portraits which match the creative vision we have for our event. Here is a link to his portfolio.
Finally, Chris our technician who is also head of record company Gameplan Records has offered the services of one of his photographers for the night. They will be tasked with capturing artist images and performance photos, therefore we wanted someone with music photography experience.
Event Crew:
Finally, as we expect to be fairly busy throughout the event, we decided that it would be best to hire a small crew to assist us on different tasks throughout the evening. These tasks include collecting entry money on the door, running the raffle and selling tickets, decorating the venue, assisting attendees.
To find volunteers for the crew, I distributed an email to first-year Music Business students asking if anybody would be interested and had replies off the four listed below.
To ensure both the smooth running of our Live event and the legality of the operation, we produced and distributed different documents regarding the contracts between all crew, a formal agreement with the venue, risk assessments to ensure health and safety, and an equipment agreement to hire university-owned equipment free of charge.
To establish a professional working agreement between us and all sectors of the crew, we wrote contracts laying out the terms of working together.
Notable clauses included are, the expected arrival time, the copyright of music and/or footage, that the party is not expecting payment and that should they cancel (for a valid reason) we must have 48 hours notice.
Attached below are the contracts distributed to our artists, media crew and photographer.

Venue Proposal:
To ensure the terms we agreed verbally were cemented, the venue wrote up an event proposal so we had an agreement in writing. Below is the document sent to us.

Equipment Agreement:
As students, we have the luxury of booking out the university's array of equipment but have to take responsibilities that come with this. The notification below confirms the booking and enters our group into a formal agreement.
As described in the Live Event Concept blog post, we want our event to act as a pre-drinks for people, before their student night out. GLAM is the company that hosts student Monday nights at MooMoo's and therefore we reached out to them to see if they would like to partner with us to encourage more people to attend both our event and theirs.
By partnering with the nightclub, they have offered us discounted entry and queue jump for all attendees of our event. All we have to do is wristband our gig attendees and pass on the information to GLAM to distribute to door staff. As we have previously partnered with GLAM on a past event, we have a good relationship and know they are reliable.
We have also asked them if they can provide a VIP booth for us to use as a Grand Prize in our raffle that will give the winner a private booth, free entry for 10 people, a bottle of vodka, bubbly and mixers. This is because we know the majority of attendees of our event will be going to GLAM afterward, and therefore the prize is more sought after helping us raise more money for the charity. They will be giving us the booth at a discounted price to help us out.
UOG Rugby:
One of the main aims of our event is to make music gigs more inclusive, and to do this we need to reach out to the wide community.
However, although it is our main concept, we don't necessarily have the network ourselves to make it happen. Therefore we made the decision to contact UOG Mens Rugby, one of the biggest University Societies and one that we have contacts within. We pitched the idea to them, with the premise that we do all of the event planning, while they help us market the event and get people to attend and the money we raise goes to their partner charity.
This leads on to our secondary partner, Moth In a China Shop, the charity we will be raising money for. In order to raise money for them, we are charging £2 entry and hosting a raffle. I got in contact with the charity via email, to ask if I could have an official charity letter and find out their charity number so we can run the event officially. This also enabled us to ask local places for raffle prize donations as we were backed by the charity.
Following, the Club Captain Charlie Sichel agreeing to partner with us, our next step was to create a marketing schedule for them and forward this to their social secretary to follow and distribute.

Back in early February 2017, Mediatek announced the Helio P25 chip, their latest addition to the Helio P series for Dual Camera Smartphones. Before this, they'd introduced the Mediatek Helio X23 & Helio X27 chips; both aimed at improving overall user experience. Prior to both announcements (back in September 2016), they had announced the Mediatek Helio X30 which features TSMC's 10nm FinFET process (making it the most powerful chip of the Helio X series and the first with a 10nm FinFET process) and finally unveiled it last week (the 27th. of February) at the Mobile World Congress (M.W.C) for commercial availability.
According to Jeffrey Ju, Executive Vice President and Co-COO of MediaTek, "MediaTek's Helio X30 fuses together state-of-the-art processing architecture, fabrication and connectivity to provide an unparalleled mobile experience. This powerhouse chipset is another example of our vision to bring premium mobile experiences to life."
You would recall that Mediatek had introduced the Helio P10 (its first Helio chip) in the fourth quarter of 2015 at the M.W.C . The Helio X30 marks notable improvements since then. Some of its features are:
- 10nm, 10-Core, Tri-Cluster architecture built for extreme performance: two ARM Cortex-A73 at 2.5 GHz, four ARM Cortex-A53 at 2.2 GHz and four ARM Cortex-A35 at 1.9 GHz.
- LTE WorldMode Cat.10 modem fulfills smartphone users' need for speed with seamless connectivity, supporting for three downlink Carrier Aggregation (3CA) and two uplink Carrier Aggregation (2CA) for high volume content streaming.
- Imagination PowerVR Series7XT Plus clocked at 800MHz, is a tailored GPU for MediaTek Helio X30. It offers power savings up to 60 percent while increasing performance by up to 2.4 times compared to its previous platform.
- Built in multimedia features deliver next-generation experiences. And it's the industry's first mobile SoC to bring a power-efficient, hardware based 4K2K 10-bit HDR10 video decoding to smartphones. The camera zoom feature offers 2x optical zoom in a super slim form factor.
- CorePilot 4.0 Technology which incorporates intelligent task scheduling system, thermal management and user experience monitoring systems. This combination can predict an individual's power usage scenario on the device and prioritize which application is most critical at that point in time to control power consumption.
- ClearZoom which ensures signal fidelity and Temporal Noise Reduction (TNR) which reduces video temporal noise and preserves image detail
We expect to see Mediatek Helio X30 powered smartphones hit the market by the second quarter of this year.

Junius Rodriguez, candidate for 18th Congressional District, was in Lincoln recently for a Town Hall meeting. The well attended Town Hall was held at the Millwrights' union hall. Rodriguez, a history professor at Eureka College, lead the meeting stating his positions on currently pertinent issues facing the 18th Congressional District. He has already signed a candidate pledge to make himself accessible to constituents if elected with regular Town Hall meetings. He opened with his views on raising minimum wages for working families. He proposes that wages have to provide the middle class with enough income to provide a home, car, retirement, and education for children.
"Working two or three part-time jobs to squeeze by isn't the right way to make America''s middle class strong", stated the candidate.
Rodriguez also addressed the issues of infrastructure, which he claimed will pay for itself with good jobs for construction workers. He endorses universal, single payer, healthcare so that one hospitalization doesn't financially decimate a family.
He then turned his town hall over to those present, who asked his views on gun control, legalizing marijuana, science-based growth, and using artificial intelligence and much more. He spent time and thoughtful discernment to each question.
He stated he enjoyed attending the Logan County Democrats recent Pancake Breakfast and promised to get back to Logan County again. Midterm election will be Nov. 6, 2018.

Meat balls are a classic dish that is a perennial favourite with diners - so it would be easy for caterers to simply offer a basic version of this dish.
However, in order to really set your restaurant's offerings apart from the crowd, why not try and come up with a way to bring your own unique twist to the recipe?
In an article for the Guardian, celebrity chef Yotam Ottolenghi recommended throwing in a wide range of culinary herbs in to the mixture when preparing the meal.
He specified that dill, coriander and parsley would work particularly well in beef meatballs with broad beans and lemon.
We really advocate culinary innovation here at Schwartz for Chef, so why not try coming up with alternative flavour pairings of your own concoction?
Simply think about what herbs and spices would work well with the other ingredients - and don't be afraid to experiment!

I'm excited to discover yet another fresh and impressive compositional voice emerging from Nordic and Eastern European nations...this one is enough to get me excited about his music and leave me hungry for more.
To read the complete review, please visit American Record Guide online.
Born in 1960, the Ukrainian composer, Alexander Shchetynsky, has worked in many classical fields, this disc apparently the first on international release. Though the back insert gives a bewildering description of his style of composition, it should have simply said that this is music which falls easily on the ear and will readily lodge in the memory. Stylistically it belongs to that group of composers of which Arvo Part in Estonia and the British-born John Taverner have become the most frequently mentioned names. The disc's opening work, Know Yourself, is largely built around 18th century Christian texts to form a 'Symphony for mixed a cappella choir', the twelve short sections creating a score well over half an hour. Beauty, long-flowing melody and musical urgency; solos mix with choral sections, and the work ends in that quiet hypnotic quality that is now so fashionable. That piece dates from 2006, and we move back in time to the 1980's when Shchetynsky began work on Light to Lighten, and there are hints of his interest at that time in the Second Viennese School. The Requiem is cast in the conventional six sections and is to be sung in Latin. It avoids the 'death and damnation' of the Dies irae, and is generally in the style of the disc's first work. Once again I would beg of you not to get bogged-down by printed descriptions, but to accept this as a highly attractive modern view at a well-known text. It is for mixed choir and string orchestra and, as with all three works, it is performed by the artists who gave the world premiere. Obviously a benchmark recording beautifully engineered.

This is the JAWS-dropping moment a shark swooped in for a BACK RUB from a diver.
"Love" and "affection" are terms not commonly used to describe encounters with large sharks, but they're used repeatedly by Jim Abernethy to narrate his recent get-together with a large tiger shark known as Tarantino.
The special reunion at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas was videotaped and footage shows Tarantino swimming into the arms of Abernethy.
As Abernethy and the shark are swept down current, he returns to the camera and Tarantino follows, again swimming into his arms. This happens twice in the footage.
The predators are fed during commercial dive operations, and many distinctive sharks have been given names.
Veteran divers such as Abernethy, who runs Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures, claim to have developed special relationships with some of those sharks.
Though there are bound to be critics of people "tempting fate" with such close interactions, Abernethy, who was once bitten by a lemon shark, was hoping his footage would send a message.
"I wish there was some way that I could get the world to see what these beautiful creatures are really like," he says.

Join the Crew Corey Moss, Tim Van Woeart and Spence Graham as they welcome their guests:
Lauren Simmen – Director of Marketing at SurgeX
Adrian Doughty – Director, North American Sales at Nureva
Scott Tiner – Director of Client Services at Bates College, and AV industry writer
First, the tribute:
Upper: Spence, Corey, Adrian – Lower: Lauren, Tim, Scott
There you are, Tim does the Rip Torn MIB tribute as he enters the show in style – and all who are guests of the show know him as the Zoom green screen master. He went through more backgrounds during the podcast, and even more tributes.
The banter begins with the weather (like most conversations do), and we determine who are the northernmost and southernmost guests. Let's just say Canada wins in the north – they always seem to. Spence is just a few miles below the Mason-Dixon line – West Virginia wins!
Next, more conversation as on the last episode, about animals to be released on InfoComm 2020 – and Lauren has a great one here. Adrian tries, but we're just not sure how to get that animal into the Las Vegas Conference Center in the first place. Good luck with that one Nureva!
The tech, education and security discussion that follows is of course a more serious approach – which will also be picked up on further episodes. After this, the Crew and Scott talk about SurgeX and Nureva's company tag lines, and Lauren really represents here for SurgeX. Adrian does give a very simple answer (no really, it's simple) to cover Nureva's approach.
The intermission (articles):
The if the bunk bed fits… privacy not included dept.
Fox 5: This bunk bed in San Francisco rents for $1,200 a month
Actually, this story becomes an excellent tie-in with this one:
The have money, why try to make friends? dept.
Futurism: This Is What You Get When You Rent Friends From the Internet
The answer to the "loneliness epidemic" – if you can afford to rent a bunk bed at $1200 a month, you can afford to negotiate a price for a rent-a-friend. Now if that's not the true answer to loneliness in this day and age, we don't know what is. Really.
Then, of course –
The when your privacy is never your own again dept.
The Washington Post: FBI, ICE find state driver's license photos are a gold mine for facial-recognition searches
In this week's The Firing Range, since Kym's not here Tim takes over as the "other team" leader. Corey is his opponent, and while Tim got to pick his team first, Corey was quite OK with his team (five people total, is what it is). Tim turns this over to Scott to debate first (who was somewhat against going first) and he rose to the occasion. So did Lauren. Tim closed it out for his team simple, short and sweet. Spence laser-focused his response (and gave us a new revelation as well), and Corey tried to phone a friend (who always has a card to play). That's against the rules of course, and he then went for the close.
Who wins?
Find out the answer to this question, along with an Easter Egg hidden at the very end.
Sit back, plug in and feel the power (SurgeX, power) as we live…

The Perfect Holiday Party Treat – Hazelnut Truffles
Every year around this time I sit at my laptop and ponder, what I am going to bring to my holiday parties to blow everyone away. Usually I come up with some complicated, over the moon recipe that I spend days perfecting. Only to have it served to some rather inebriated guests who, at this point, would consider an Oreo a delicacy. So this time I somehow stumbled upon my recipe of choice completely on accident. A few years ago I brought over to a New Year's Eve party some homemade truffles along with 2 cakes, some moon pies and a few cupcakes. Needless to say, those truffles were never eaten and therefore wasted. So this year I decided to recreate those delicious truffles, adding one simple ingredient: hazelnut butter.
Hazelnut butter is my version of homemade nutella. Except, if you can imagine, it tastes even better than nutella. This creation actually was born out of laziness and necessity. I had just come back from the store in the middle of a very snowy day, when I realized I had no more nutella left. It was simply impossibly for me to run out to the store, because my exhausted 1-year-old had already been 30 minutes into her well-deserved nap. So I managed to find some hazelnuts in my pantry and decided to give this whole nut butter thing a shot. The hazelnut butter is a simple blend of roasted hazelnuts, some sugar, half and half and Dutch cocoa powder. It is then whizzed away in my trusty Vitamix and a few spins of the sharp blade later, I had creamy and velvety hazelnut butter. One taste – and (I knew!) my laziness was actually a blessing in disguise. The roasted hazelnuts gave a much deeper and richer flavor to the butter, when half and half added the silkiness to it. I was in total hazelnut heaven!
The best part about this recipe is its true simplicity. The hazelnut butter is combined with melted bittersweet chocolate and cream cheese. A few tosses in some toppings and the end – truffles are done. And you can bet that these truffles will not be left sitting alone at some sad buffet table.
Hazelnut Butter
1 cup of roasted hazelnuts
2 tbsp Dutch powder cocoa
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup half and half
1. Roast the hazelnuts at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until fragrant.
2. In order to remove the skin, shake the hazelnuts in between two bowls, until most of the skin has come off. Remove the nuts and rub off the remaining skin gently with your fingers.
3. Place all ingredients into a food processor or Vitamix and blend until a smooth consistency. If the consistency seems too grainy, add a bit more half and half.
8 oz. bittersweet chocolate
8 oz. cream cheese
1 cup hazelnut butter
1. Melt chocolate in the microwave or double broiler. If using the microwave, melt the chocolate in 30-second increments, ensuring to mix the chocolate every 30 seconds to prevent it from burning.
2. In the meantime, whip cream cheese on high in a mixer, so it is nice and fluffy.
3. Add melted chocolate and hazelnut butter to cream cheese and mix until well combined.
4. Spread onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for two hours.
5. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, gather the chocolate mix and roll in your hands to create a small ball.
6. Dip in crushed nuts, cocoa powder, melted chocolate or sprinkles.
7. Place into freezer and remove an hour before service.

A multitude of varieties in flexible film packaging materials have been used for a long time with the aim of extending the shelf life of the items being stored and packed. UV stabilized films are one of these variants which are increasingly gaining popularity around the globe for a number of applications including packaging for food, construction, agriculture, electrical, automotive, and chemicals among others. These widespread applications for UV stabilized films are projected to generate substantial demand in the years ahead.
High Barrier Properties Increase Popularity
UV stabilized films are primarily designed to provide users with high resistance against weathering in addition to protecting contents against ultraviolet radiation, and provide superior barrier properties against gases and liquids. These films also provide users with enhanced performance in terms of adhesion to inks, solvents, and coatings among others. Further, the high clarity, durability and firmness, allows the material to be aesthetically pleasing in packaging applications.
Uncertainty in Climate Conditions Encourage Adoption
Around the world, the rising threat of global warming is generating weather based threats such as heat waves, shortage of or excessive rainfall, which not only results in uncertainties regarding the growth of crops, but also in maintaining the freshness of perishables after packaging. For such issues, UV stabilized polyethylene films are proving to be highly cost effective in terms of the manufacturing for environment control packaging formats, which also minimize the risk of pests and disease.
UV Stabilized Films Find Extensive Use in Pallet Packaging
With the packaging industry being rapidly involved in large scale operations, pallets have become a method of preference to store and transport a wide variety of commodities and components around the globe. However, with the necessity to store pallets in outdoor conditions in multiple use cases, UV stabilized polymer stretch wraps are being used extensively to cover pallets of various configurations, especially for those containing weather and light sensitive contents.
This can be attributed to UV resistance characteristics, which ensure that the film does not deteriorate under sunlight. Consequently, UV stabilized stretch films are also being used in the construction industry, manufacturing industries, landscaping industry and also for a wide range of bagged products.
Sustainability Initiatives in E-Commerce Applications Encourage Adoption
Increasing spread of urbanization and the consequent rise of ecommerce activities around the world are one of the key factors encouraging the use of UV stabilized films. The use of this material allows the safe packaging of climate sensitive goods, without any specialized powered systems for the purpose.
In addition, manufacturers have also come up with a number of UV stabilized film variants that are made from bio-based polyester. This trend is expected to reduce the dependency on fossil fuel sources and minimize the carbon footprint of e-commerce businesses, which is an essential part of major sustainability initiatives. While developed countries in North America and Europe have a well-established practice of using UV stabilized films, manufacturers are finding massive opportunities in emerging economies around the world.
The increasingly speed of evolution in packaging solutions, with growing emphasis on customization has gained importance to meet consumer demands, and these trends are playing a major role in the UV stabilized films industry. For a comprehensive overview of the UV stabilized films market, readers can download a sample of the study.

I've gotten in this new habit of taking an afternoon off from the 9-5 to go adventure off in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. With so many destinations within a few hours' drive, it seems wasteful not to. It transforms a day from a morning of meetings to an afternoon of outdoor bliss. This time, I took to the mountain with my favorite adventure and photography friend Mary Jo. We decided on a simple hike to the Fremont Fire Lookout. What was supposed to be a casual 5 mile hike, proved to be more difficult for us than expected. Lots of breaks for "photos" and conversation made the trip much easier. Once we reached our destination, we celebrated with a libation and a lot of photo taking. Back down was much easier, with many stops to take in the gorgeous Mountain Sunset and wildlife. It may have been dark when we got back to the car, but we both agreed it was worth the adventure.
Quiet. Calm. Green. Fresh.I love the Pacific Northwest.
Here are a few shots from a recent little walk up to Marymere Falls on a warm summer evening. This is an easy hike with easy access off of Highway 101 at Crescent Lake. Park near the ranger station and follow the trail. You will be greeted by towering trees, moss as far as the eye can see, and that awesome hallow trail sound with every step.

Your baby is all personality this month, and you're reaping the rewards, taking in all those giggles and adorable tricks that you probably can't get enough of. Here's what else you can expect this month.
Your 5-Month-Old Baby's Development
At a Glance
These days, your baby will love putting the "boo!" in "peek-a-boo!" Hide-and-seek games start to become giggle-producing favorites as your baby begins to grasp the concept of object permanence.
More signs of his burgeoning intelligence: He can discern tiny items and lots of colors now, as well as track moving objects. Your little one is also gaining manual dexterity and may now be able to pass a toy from one hand to the other or rake a small object and then pick it up. He's a big babbler too, so encourage his chatter by talking up a storm yourself.
Your baby's hearing and vision are almost completely developed by now. And that name you so thoughtfully chose for him and have been lovingly whispering and singing to him for months? He just might recognize it as his own now and turn toward you when you call his name. He's eagerly taking in everything around him (assisted by new motor skills, such as confident head control and strong push-ups) and trying to make sense of the world around him.
Your 5-Month-Old Baby's Growth
Your baby continues to grow by leaps and bounds, and somewhere between 4 and 6 months your baby will be ready to take on a brand new feeding frontier: solids.
Remember, though, that while these first feedings are an exciting first step to a lifetime of eating, they're less about nutrients and more about gaining experience. Breast milk or formula will continue to provide most of your baby's nutritional requirements until the end of the first year.
So that means that you'll be starting small now, serving up about 1 tablespoon of baby cereal (mixed with a small amount of breast milk or formula) twice a day, or the equivalent in fruit or vegetables.
As your baby gets used to solids and expresses an eagerness for more, you can expect the amount baby takes to increase gradually up to 4 tablespoons per meal. Good first food choices include single-grain, iron-enriched, whole grain cereal (whole grain oat, whole grain barley or brown rice), vegetables (like sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, peas and green beans), and fruits (including pureed ripe avocado, finely mashed bananas, or baby applesauce, peaches or pears).
Your 5-Month-Old Baby's Health
Postpartum Tips & Info
By the 5-month-mark, your baby's senses of hearing and vision are almost completely developed. That name you so thoughtfully chose for him and have been lovingly whispering and singing for months? He just might recognize it as his own now and turn toward you when you call his name.
He's eagerly taking in everything around him (assisted by new motor skills, such as confident head control and strong push-ups) and trying to make sense of it all (hey, how did that happen?!!).
He's also trying to let you know what he's thinking and feeling. It's probably already pretty clear to you when he's uncomfortable, mad or simply bored, since he lets you know by crying, kicking, squirming or a hearty combination of all three.
These days, your 5-month-old baby will love putting the "boo!" in peek-a-boo! Hide-and-seek games start to become giggle-producing favorites as your baby begins to grasp the concept of object permanence, which is a fancy way of saying that he's starting to understand that things exist even when they're out of sight.
Another new brainteaser for your baby is identifying items that are partially hidden: "Hey, that's my favorite book — it's peeking out from under that bear!"
More signs of his burgeoning intelligence: He can discern tiny items and lots of colors now as well as track moving objects.
Make sure your baby has appointments scheduled for upcoming vaccinations. Vaccines protect kids from more diseases than ever before — 14 by the age of 2. And by keeping your child's immunizations up-to-date, you'll be helping keep this amazing health care track record going strong. Talk to your pediatrician about what shots are needed and when.
Here are some of the best first foods to give your baby when he starts solids:
1) Cereal. For years, baby rice cereal was considered the best food to start with, but now the American Academy of Pediatrics just recommends any easily digestible foods. If you start with cereal, pick a single-grain variety (rice, barley or oat — hold off on wheat, a common allergen for many babies, for now). To prepare, mix a small amount of cereal with formula, breast milk or even water to create a creamy "soup." Don't sweeten the taste by adding things like mashed bananas, applesauce or juice.
2) Vegetables. Veggies are wholesome, nutritious and not likely to trigger allergies. Start with milder yellow or orange options such as sweet potatoes and carrots before moving on to the green team, like peas and string beans, which have slightly stronger flavors. If your baby rejects what you've got, try again tomorrow and the next day and the next. Some babies need to be introduced to a new food four or five (or more!) times before they'll accept it, so perseverance is key.
3) Fruit. Delicious, digestible first fruits include finely mashed bananas or baby applesauce, peaches or pears (stick with jarred fruits especially processed for babies).
Skip the silver spoon Aunt Martha sent; a small plastic-coated model is much easier on tender gums. Count on having several on hand during feedings (one for you, one for your baby) to foster his sense of independence and to avoid power struggles (yes, those happen even at this age).
For you, choose a long handle for ultimate maneuverability, and for your baby, a short, curved handle is easier for tiny fingers to grip and will help prevent him from poking himself in the eye.
Just before you're ready to start, put on a bib (on him, yours is optional). A word to the wise: Get your baby into the bib habit right from the start or he'll resist it big-time later. It can be made of soft plastic, cotton or paper — as long as it's big enough to cover his chest and belly, you're good to go.
Every time you wipe down the changing table, bathroom or kitchen counter with a product that contains harmful chemicals, you leave a little bit of toxic residue behind. A much safer option is switching to natural cleaning methods — they'll get the job done and keep your baby safe.
Look for products with these terms on their labels: biodegradable, plant-based, hypoallergenic, formulated without dye or synthetic fragrance, nonflammable, does not contain chlorine, phosphate, petroleum, ammonia, acids, alkalized solvents, nitrates or borates.
A few widely available brands that fit the bill: Citra-Solve, Seventh Generation and Earth Friendly. Or make your own all-purpose, all-natural cleaner by mixing vegetable-based liquid soap with a few drops of lavender essential oil.
No need to visit the toy store! When your baby can sit up, he'll delight in a drawer to explore (or a cabinet or shelf).
Keep your plasticware and some lightweight pots and pans in a low cupboard in the kitchen and you'll have a low-tech way of keeping baby amused while you're cooking or washing up ("Look at that really nice square container and lid you've got there!").
Those plastic containers (along with a plastic cup and a set of measuring spoons) can travel to the tub for some bathtime water play, where they can become props for scientific experiments ("Let's see how much water you can pour into this container!") or some pretend cooking.
And pots and lids do double-duty by letting your baby make music — there's nothing like the sound of bangs and clashes to bring out your child's inner composer. (You can sing along too!)

Dealing with a Spinning Car
If you have ever been inside of a spinning car, you understand how terrifying an experience it can be. Even if you have not been unfortunate enough to experience it first hand, it's not hard to understand that completely losing control of a motor vehicle is not a good experience. The risk of slamming into a median, obstacle, or another car while careening across the road is high, and the resulting injuries and damage can be very serious.
It is important for drivers to know some of the things that can cause them to lose control of their cars and begin to spin. There are also some precautions that drivers can take in order to make sure they avoid these dangerous situations.
Causes of Spins
There are many internal and external factors that can cause a car to be thrown into a spin:
- Hydroplaning on wet roads
- Tire blowouts
- Icy or slick roads
- Collisions with other vehicles
- Road defects
How to Avoid Spins
The line between normal driving and spinning out of control is very thin. The following tips can help keep you on the safe side of that line:
- Always control your speed
- Keep your tires properly inflated
- Do not over steer or slam on your brakes
- Drive slowly on wet or icy roads
If your car does begin to spin, remain calm, do not overcompensate your steering or slam on your brakes, and gently steer into the spin until you regain control.
Contact Us
If you have been in an accident where you believe a negligent driver, road defect, or manufacturing defect caused your car to spin, you may be eligible for compensation. Call 877-327-2600 to contact the Des Moines car accident lawyers of and explore your legal options.

Secret Income Club is a nasty little scam that is going around and causing people to lose money. It claims to be an amazing opportunity for making money online, but is the opposite… Is a great opportunity for losing money online in reality.
If you are thinking about possibly signing up or buying into this you are seriously going to want to reconsider. I'm sure you were already reconsidering and having second thoughts about this. After all… You did take the time to do a little bit of extra research and are currently reading my review. You got that gut feeling that this is a scam and listened to it.
In this review I will be exposing this scam for what it really is. I'll be going over how it all works and why you will just lose money if you end up buying into it.
Secret Income Club Review
There are dozens of different landing pages for this Secret Income Club scam. Below I took screenshots of four different ones that you can take a look at, which you may have seen for yourself. However, if you don't see the particular landing page below that you saw on the Secret Income Club website, I'll go over why in a second…
The reason that there are so many different landing pages for the same scam is because this scam uses with what is called an ad rotator. The system is set up to rotate through bunch of different ads. So if you exit the site income back you will likely see a different ad that you saw the first time.
Below I want to go over a few red flags that stood out to me right away after coming across this scam. These are important things that you should know because they are common characteristics of many scams and if you know what to look for when it comes to scams like this, you will be better at spotting and avoiding them in the future. After that I'll go over what this scam really is.
Red Flags That This Is a Scam
#1 – Ridiculous Income Claims
This scam is pretty much your normal get-rich-quick type scheme. It tells you all about the massive amount of money you can make in very little time… A textbook get-rich-quick scheme.
You should always be wary when you come across a system/program like this that talks about all the money you can make. Just think about it… Why would people be selling these programs to just a bunch of random people online to make tons of money with? Why not just keep the programs for themselves and make a time money with them?
#2 – Super Easy
And of course the scam systems that Secret Income Club funnels you into are all automated, pushbutton, "one click", and all that BS. As if making $500-$1000 plus every day wasn't enough, the system also is incredibly easy to use. In fact, so easy that you could probably train a dog to use it.
#3 – Limited Positions – availabliity in your area
These types of scams also tell you that they have positions available in your particular area in that you have to act now if you want in. This is very common with scams and I see it all the time. They use location tracking programs to track where you are accessing their website from and customize what they tell you to make you feel special.
With the scams that the system promotes, there are not limited positions in the will take everyone possible. They want to make as much money as they possibly can and they certainly aren't going to turn down anyone who wants to buy in.
#4 – Fake News
You might not have seen this depending on what landing page you came across, but some of them had a bunch of news logos on them and claimed to have been featured on the news. This is far from being true. None of the scam programs have ever been featured on the news and they never will be.
You can easily do a quick online search on any of the different news websites, CNN, Fox News, ABC, etc., and you won't find any related information.
#5 – Copy & Paste
These types of get-rich-quick schemes usually claim to be copy and paste. The person behind the scams will tell you that they are going to copy over their system for you. They act like it is as easy as copying and pasting a pre-existing website that is making money, but of course things are never as easy as they seem.
What You Are Being Funneled Into
Just as there are a bunch of different landing pages that are used because of the ad rotator, there are also a bunch of different scams that the system funnels you into. The scams include Clone My Sites, Your Easy Business, My Optimized Success Plan, The Passive Payday, eCom Profit Sniper, Crypto Coin Sniper, and probably more that I did not come across.
Pretty much every time you exit out of the Secret Income Club website and come back you are directed to a new scam.
The first one that I came across was called Your Easy Business, or YEB for short. As you can see below, this seems like your comment Internet scam. It states that some "weird trick" is making newbies $500 and more per day. Of course it is… That is what they all say.
I actually wrote a review on this YEB system a while back to warn people about this scam. Basically this scam was a funnel to get people to buy into another scam called MOBE, which was a high ticket digital marketing scam that some people lost tens of thousands of dollars with. And by the way… It was recently shut down by the FTC for being a scam.
This is just one of many examples. All of the other scams mentioned above are pretty much the same type of deal.
In a Nutshell
So this may all be a bit confusing to you if you have never come across a scam like this before.
In a nutshell, Secret Income Club is a scam system that funnels people into other scam systems. The people behind this particular scam are getting paid to promote all of these other scams. They are affiliates and each time they get someone to buy into these, they get paid a commission.
Final Thoughts
There are a lot of different legitimate ways to make money online and this is not one of them. No matter what route you choose, it all takes real work and real time. There is no super easy way to make tons of money online and this is what leads to many people getting scams… Too many people are looking for the easiest way possible, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it can be a problem at times.
If you are continually looking for program/systems that are able to make you tons of money very fast, then you are going to continue to get scammed.
If this the system were legitimate and you really could make as much easy money as they tell you that you can, I would have joined right away. I would have joined and I would get all of my friends and family to join so that they can also capitalize on the opportunity. However… It is a scam and of course I'm not going to buy into this crap.
Recommendation for Beginners
If you are looking for something that I actually recommend then I would take a look at this program. I have been a member since 2015 and joined back when I first started looking for ways to make money online. At the time I knew nothing and was really lucky to have come across it. Fast forward to now and I am currently making a living working online, which goes to show that it does work and it can happen.
But anyways… You can click the button below to learn more about this program, what it is, etc.
