I take money from my children. I checked around and others do it too. You should try it. Seriously, you should.
Though there have been many with my older two boys, this was the first such incident with my youngest. Despite the slow taming of my internal torment from such incidents, I remain amazed at how intensely it still pulls at my heart.
You see, towards the end of our family's attendance at a local carnival this past Saturday, my nine-year-old son asked to purchase a $3 toy. His request came after Pops here had spent a good 40 bucks on the family's entertainment that evening. I reminded my son that in light of all the rides and games he'd already enjoyed, the toy was an "extra." His puppy-eyed response was that he would pay for it once we got home, so I consented and made the purchase. He thoroughly enjoyed playing with the $3 toy that evening.
The next morning he walks up and hands me a one dollar bill and 8 quarters.
With payment in hand and my eyes peering in to his, my heart sank at the horror of actually taking money from my own 9 year old…albeit for a seriously junky toy which by the way ended up breaking later on that same morning.
As my eyes slowly zoomed out and I took in the expression of genuine contentment and pride on his face, something amazing happened: my spine started to grow back. Then I remembered, HEY I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE and it actually WORKS because it is the RIGHT THING to do.
YES, ALL CAPS!!! –because for some inexplicable reason, no matter how proven and logical it is, I still had to YELL AT MYSELF to in order to jolt the life back into my parenting which STILL turns to mush at one entrancing stare into my son's eyes.
I can sit here and tell you that I learned this sage wisdom from the school of hard knocks with my older two boys; however that would be only partially correct.
I learned to do what's best for my kids' future –instead of my own gratification– because I have repeatedly reached out to other (especially older) dads who straight-up TOLD me what to do. You see, where the clear logic of this parenting task was not enough to support my spine, the addition of solid, proven, seasoned advice did the trick.
Indeed, those three dollars bought my son far more value than a junky toy. But what is even way cooler for me is that I now get to use that $3 to go out for coffee with my dad-friends to get even more advice! And so it turns out the village that's helping me raise my kids actually pays for itself! So go take your kids' money and savor that latte on me!
Yaman Kahf
As a boy, Yaman never knew exactly what he wanted to "be" other than a father. He migrated to the US as an infant with his parents and is the second eldest of 7 siblings –growing up in Utah, Indiana, and New Jersey before settling in Southern California with his wife and three boys. Career and college degrees pale in comparison to the accomplishments, joy, and education from life with three boys.

Immobilization of Cs-137 and Co-60 in concrete matrix
No Thumbnail
AuthorsPlećaš, Ilija B.
MetadataShow full item record
To assess the safety for disposal of radioactive waste-cement-bentonite composition, the leaching of Cs-137 and Co-60, from a waste composite into a surrounding fluid has been studied [Burns, R.H. Atomic Energy Rev. 9 (1971) 547; Hashimoto, I., Deshpande, K.B. and Thomas, S.H. I and EC Fundamentals 3 (1964) 213]. Leaching tests were carried out in accordance with a method recommended by IAEA [Atomic Energy Rev. 9 (1971) 195]. Determination of retardation factors, K-F and coefficients of distribution, k(d), using a simplified mathematical model for analyzing the migration of radionuclides, has been developed. In our experiment we have achieved the lowest leaching values after 60 days. Results presented in this paper are examples of results obtained in a 20 year mortar and concrete testing project, which will influence the design of the engineered trenches system for a future central Serbian radioactive waste storage center.

There are two endpoints regarding importing tests in bulk.
|Import Tests
|Check import job status
The first endpoint is an asynchronous call to import tests. Whenever this endpoint is called, a job is queued to import the tests in the input and its id is returned. The second endpoint can be used to check the status of this job.
Import Tests
When importing tests, you can use the following endpoint:
Create a job to import tests.
- key or id of the project where the tests without project information are to be imported into.
In the test information in the input, the following fields can be used:
- testtype (or xray_testtype): This field determines the test type of the corresponding test, this field can be filled with the option of any test field that is present in the project in which the test will be created. (this field is required)
- steps (or xray_steps): It holds the steps information for a test with a test type of the Steps kind.
- gherkin_def (or xray_gherkin_def): Gherkin definition for tests with a test type of the Gherkin kind.
- unstructured_def (or xray_unstructured_def): Generic definition for tests with a test type of Unstructured kind.
- xray_test_repository_folder: Test Repository path to where the respective test is to be moved into.
Along with these fields, JIRA fields and update information can be added as used in the bulk create issues of the JIRA REST API. The JIRA fields information may be expressed together with the Xray fields or inside the fields field.
JIRA fields
The JIRA fields and update structure must follow the one used in the Create Issues of the JIRA Cloud API
If project information is omitted in a test, the project defined as a path parameter in the endpoint is used as the destination project, if no project is set as a path parameter, an error will occur importing the corresponding test and any other test without project information.
Example 1: Tests
[ { "testtype": "Cucumber", "fields": { "summary": "This tests the addition of 2 numbers.", "project": { "key": "CALC" } }, "gherkin_def": "Given I have entered <input_1> into the calculator\nAnd I have entered <input_2> into the calculator\nWhen I press <button>\nThen the result should be <output> on the screen\n\n Examples:\n | input_1 | input_2 | button | output |\n | 20 | 30 | add | 50 |\n | 2 | 5 | add | 7 |\n | 0 | 40 | add | 40 |\n | 1 | 40 | add | 41 |" }, { "testtype": "Manual", "fields": { "summary": "This tests the Subtraction of two numbers.", "project": { "key": "CALC" } }, "update": { "issuelinks": [ { "add": { "type": { "name": "Test" }, "outwardIssue": { "key": "CALC-123" } } } ] }, "steps": [ { "action": "I choose the operation of the calculator *Subtraction*", "data": "", "result": "The operation must appear selected." }, { "action": "I enter the input into the calculator", "data": "I1: 5\nI2: 2", "result": "" }, { "action": "I press the *Calculate* button", "result": "The result *3* should be displayed in the screen, on the right of the \"=\" sign." } ] }, { "testtype": "Generic", "fields": { "summary": "CanMultiply", "project": { "key": "CALC" } }, "unstructured_def": "x.CalculatorTests.CanMultiply", "xray_test_repository_folder": "Generic Tests/Arithmetic Tests" } ]
Example Request

Check Import Job Status
When checking the status of an import test job, you can use the following endpoint:

The status field has one of the following values:
- pending: the job was created but is not running yet.
- working: the job is currently running.
- failed: the job ended in failure.
- successful: all tests were successfully imported and the job ended.
- partially_successful: some tests were imported sucessfully and some weren't and the job has finished.
- unsuccessful: no tests were imported and job has finished.
When the job ends, in the status the result will be returned. This result has 2 sections, the errors section and the issues section, the first one has all the tests that weren't imported along with the errors that prevented them from being imported, the second section has the information of the issues that were successfully imported along with the JIRA issue id, key and self URL. In both section the elementNumber field indicates the index of the test it refers to in the input.
Example Request
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com/api/v1/import/test/bulk/34a4106b1d0948d1aae1170cc8df3bb4/status

But what is locuming anyways?
Everything you've always wanted to know about the Latin phrase everyone in medicine is talking about
As a physician, you have to know a lot of weird Latin words, from digitalis to cor pulmonale to latissimus dorsi. But there's one Latin term that might throw you off: locum tenens. No, it's not a rare blood disease, or a small muscle in your foot, or a weird medical tool they used in Ancient Rome. It translates directly as: "to hold the place of, to substitute for." And, in medicine, it's used to describe a doctor who fills a temporary position at a hospital or practice. This is known, casually, as locuming. And in the medical community there are lots of misconceptions about how it works, who does it, and why it's important. So, we're going to clear things up for you.
How does it work?
Health care facilities need to hire short-term help for a variety of reasons; they might need to cover a maternity leave, or fill a gap after retirement, or cover a vacation, or require a doctor with a particular speciality to train new staff—or they might simply need to cover a staff shortage (something that is happening more and more across the country). Whatever the reason, locum doctors are vital in these situations: they come in, often on short notice, get acclimated quickly, and are able to see patients who might otherwise have to wait longer or travel further for treatment. In the end, locuming is all about closing gaps in the healthcare industry and making sure that everyone who needs to see a doctor – no matter where they are, no matter what they need – are able to.
Who does it?
If you have a medical degree and residency training, you can take on a locum tenens position. And there are opportunities available in just about every speciality you can imagine, whether you're in emergency care, or family medicine, or anesthesiology, or orthopedics, or neonatology, or cardiothoracic surgery, or—well, you get the point.
The traditional stereotype of a locum doctor is someone in their first years of practice, unmarried, not quite ready to settle down, looking to explore their options, maybe trying to, you know, find themselves—or, sometimes, someone approaching retirement who wants to keep practicing medicine but is looking for a different experience before they hang up their stethoscope. Both of these types of locum doctors exist—but there is much more diversity in the kinds of people (and their backgrounds) who actually choose to do it, especially in the last few years as the popularity of locuming has increased. It has become, for many physicians (both young and old), a lifestyle choice.
Just like the gig economy is changing the way other industries operate, the world of medicine – and those who work within it – is beginning to adapt. While locum doctors might once have been perceived as second-tier professionals who couldn't find a permanent position in their field, they are, today, highly-coveted, highly-respected assets for every medical employer.
Why is it important?
The freedom and flexibility that locum tenens staffing offers practices, hospitals, and other healthcare institutions is vital. The whole idea of locum tenens was born from an initiative to address doctor shortages in rural areas of the western United States. The program proved so successful that it was eventually adopted across the country—and then across all of North America (and beyond).
Locum tenens has become, in many ways, an indispensable foundational support for the entire industry. Just five years ago, three-quarters of healthcare employers reported that they used locum tenens staff. Today, that number has jumped to almost 100-percent.
Should you become a locum doctor?
Well, there's no reason not to.
Deciding on whether to locum is like deciding what city to live in—there are lots of things to consider, and, in the end, it's a very personal decision. While it brings a certain amount of uncertainty into your life, and probably isn't ideal for someone who is looking to settle down (or start a family) after the whirlwind years of med school and residency, it's a great way to test-drive a practice or work environment before committing to a permanent position. It can also give you an opportunity to travel across the country (and world!) and experience different places, people, and cultures.
Many doctors also appreciate how much it reduces the administrative side of their jobs; no hiring, no firing, no ordering supplies, no overwhelming operations tasks, etc. For physicians who want to focus on medicine, and are willing to take the risk, locuming can make for an amazing few years—and possibly even a lifelong career.

Our broad portfolio of vaccines and pharmaceutical medicines assist maintain and improve animal wellness. On 1 post he had the gall to create: Please never overlook to stick to if you like as you will not miss my future wellness tips. The response by the WHO and the worldwide neighborhood on these health workforce scarcities and imbalances have been ambiguous.
Innovation Health helps employers uncover top quality, cost-powerful ways to provide wellness positive aspects to their employees. This can provide evidence based responses to e.g. bilateral or regional Trade Agreements, liberalization of the labor markets, fiscal flexibility for public services, There might be a part for NGOs to be involved in future capacity sharing on this matter, and that can be constructed forward on existing involvement in wellness systems strengthening. C. Study your regional newspaper to see exactly where your campaign news might match- a health and fitness page, the food page, or life-style section.
Despite the fact that WHO and the GHWA contact for political engagement and involvement of government leaders and Ministries of Finance in preparing wellness workforce policies its approaches are mainly addressing technical capacities within the wellness sector. So far limited capacity has been built by these organizations to have overall health workforce policies addressed in relation to national fiscal policies and larger macro-economic policy frameworks. The overall health care technique in the United States is horribly, probably irretrievably, broken.
Given that my medical doctor does not accept sufferers with out health insurance, it went unexamined. Drinking beverages like soda, sports drinks and power drinks which are loaded with sugar can be damaging to your wellness and might lead to obesity, heart disease and diabetes. I truly appreciate writing health articles and I have not but had troubles, but I will be on the lookout.

14 Jan Mexican Society
Mexican Society
140 Gouger Street. Adelaide SA 5000
08 8231 2626
Lunch Thursday and Friday
Dinner 6 days
Mexican Society is the sister restaurant of the famous Lucky Lupitas and claims to serve up "Mexican food you can't make at home, gringo!" and yes amigos, indeed they do.
Taking home an award in SA's 2017 Awards for Excellence, Mexican Society brings Mexican food into the heart of the CBD, in possibly Adelaide's best foodie locations.
The venue has a cool and calming feel, with funky décor and soothing pastel tones throughout the restaurant. A perfect place to wind down at the end of a long work day.
Serving up a variety of Mexican beers, inspired cocktails, they also stock Adelaide's most extensive collections of Tequilas and Mezcals.
They have an entire menu showcasing this authentic Mexican Liquor, including tasting notes that details the aromas and flavours each variety offers.
Lychee margarita. Tequila blanco, lychee liqueur and fresh lime. The margarita was so smooth and sweet, that you could probably drink a couple and not know what hit you.
Smoked guacamole. Avocado, toasted almonds, pepitas, tomatoes with corn and plantain chips. The guacamole was similar to Lucky Lupitas except the plantains added a more savoury flavour.
Tostada de salmon. Shaved lemon-beetroot chipotle cured atlantic salmon, smoked corn, mayonesa and cilantro pesto. The salmon was dyed a deep burgundy colour from the curing with a buttery soft yet meaty texture. They were like little mouthfuls of heaven.
Grilled chicken taco. Corn tortilla with achiote grilled chicken, pickled red onions and guacamole. The chicken was moist but a little uninteresting.
Baja California style chargrilled octopus. Grilled octopus tentacle, parsley pesto, salsa and guajillo dressing. The octopus tentacle was tender with a beautiful bold and smoky chargrilled flavour. The pesto added an herby punch of flavour while the salsa was subtly sweet.
Mexican Society does a good job in standing out on its own. It has a unique style and flavours so it doesn't feel repetitive at all.

- About this book
This book discusses the role of food and the human nutrition-behavior interface. Food makes us what we are, but in addition to providing adequate nutrition, does it influence behavior? This book looks at this critical question from various angles and considers different concepts and approaches to food, nutrition and well-being. To better understand the entire gamut of the food-behavior linkage, the author unravels the workings of the mind - brain link. The book discusses this aspect and the findings add to the existing fund of knowledge in this area. Much of today's malaise in humans can be traced to the food consumed by individuals. This book provides a comprehensive picture of the current state of human nutrition and how this can be linked to behavior.

TAGAYTAY CITY, Philippines (Reuters) - Hundreds of people who have fled their homes near a restive volcano on the Philippines' main island Luzon attended a Catholic mass at a temporary shelter on Sunday, praying for safety amid fears of a violent eruption.
Some residents danced and brought wooden replicas of the Infant Jesus, locally known as "Santo Nino", to celebrate the feast of the Holy Child. Many worshippers in Asia's biggest Catholic nation believe the statues can grant miracles.
"We prayed that we can rise up, put a stop to this calamity to allow us to return back to our homes," said 44-year-old evacuee Annie Villanueva. "A lot of families like us want to be together in our own homes and stand up."
More than 70,000 people have been evacuated since the Taal, one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes, began spewing clouds of ash, steam and gas on Jan. 12.
The volcano alert level remains at 4, just a notch below the highest, which means that "hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days".
"We feel afraid, especially for our families because we don't know our fate, if we will be safe," Villanueva said.
Nearly 800 volcanic earthquakes were recorded overnight within the danger zone, indicating "intense seismic activity (that) likely signifies continuous magmatic intrusion beneath", the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said in an advisory.
High-risk areas within a 14-km (9-mile) radius of the volcano's main crater should remain strictly off-limits to people, Maria Antonia Bornas, chief science research specialist at Phivolcs, told reporters.
"We continue to record earthquakes, and that is why we can't relax," she said.

1. As of the end of the SLG comics, do either Macbeth or Demona know about what they did during the weeks that they were controlled by the Weird Sisters? Do they know about their actions in High Noon, how they were forced to attack the innocent people (inc Katharine, Mac's only remaining relative, and Demona's children) on Avalon, etc?
If not, what do they think happened to them between their fight in New York and waking up in Paris?
If either does know, how do they feel about the Weird Sisters as a result?
2. Do Macbeth and Demona share the "anguish" mentioned by the Weird Sisters in CoS4 the same way they share physical pain? For example, on their wedding night in Paris, could Demona feel Macbeth's emotional pain as if it were her own?
If not, how does that part of their link work?
3. Is the shared pleasure part of Demona and Macbeth's link physical, emotional, or both?
Thank you. :)
1. Largely, they do not.
1a. It's perplexing.
1b. I doubt either of them are terribly fond of the Weird Sisters in any case.
2. Emotional pain? That would require enough selflessness to acknowledge that anyone else has emotional pain.
2a. You're assuming that anguish isn't physical?
3. Have we established shared pleasure?
I know this isn't a forum, but I would like to respond to another poster who asked if Demona was ticklish by saying:
Would you really want to find out?:)
I'm not touching this one (or her).
In Enter MacBeth, MacBeth refers to Demona as the Gargoyles' queen. But wouldn't she or even someone of her clan from the past have told him a bit about Gargoyles and their clans and that they didn't have kings or queens? Or did she leave him to believe she was their queen?
I think you're taking his statement too literally. He saw her as the leader of the gargoyles, which she was during the key moment of his natural life. He views leaders in terms of kings and queens, so used that language. (Also as a chess metaphor, I seem to recall.) But he wasn't speaking or thinking about her this way literally.
In "Vows" When Goliath told to the young Demona about doing nothing to prevent The Wyvern Castle Massacre.To not let the petty jealousies that prey upon her heart.To fortify herself with love.Was he really hoping to prevent the future and was it his last attempt to reason her?
Yes, hopefully if forlornly.
I had a random question based on a question I saw about the Goliath/Demona/Angela parentage issue in "Sanctuary."
I just thought of this theory that maybe part of the reason why Goliath was resistant to telling Angela about Demona was because he was hurt over the end of his relationship with her, and having seen how she changed. So, he may, at least somewhere in his mind, have wanted to forget about her.
Do you think that may have been the case, not just his "Gargoyle Way" position?
If that works for you, I'm not going to object.
What was Demona's goal in City of Stone? Was a massive killing spree the goal?
Certainly that was part of it.
Since Demona is still around as of the Gargoyles 2198 spinoff, that means MacBeth is still around as well. I know you won't discuss any actual plans for the character (SPOILERS!), but can you tell us if you had specific plans for him? Or did the outline for 2198 not get that far?
I have plans for everyone and everything.
Here's hoping you're in a sharing mood... and to add something to GargWiki's timeline. ;)
From your timeline, you have revealed vague events that line up with a Gathering date and a character played by one of the special guests... so I was wondering if you now had one for ConVergence as it is the Gathering Reunion in 2014, and if so, if you would mind sharing it?
Gargoyle sympathizers gather for the first time in five years. Vinnie and Demona attend. (Just canon-in-training.)
1)When Macbeth first fought the Manhattan Clan, did he know they were members of Demona's original clan? And that Goliath was her former mate?
2)As of Phoenix, how much does Mac know of Demona's past before they first met? Does he know about the Wyvern Massacre and the role she played?
3)During the 17 golden years of Mac's kingdom, did he and Demona ever discuss her past? And if yes, how honest was she?
1. He knew the former, not necessarily the latter.
2. I assume you mean as of the END (i.e. the present day 1997 ending) of Phoenix. If so, he knows about the massacre. He's heard HER version of the role she played. I doubt she'd have copped to the entire truth.
3. Yes.
3a. She was completely honest to her thinking. Emotionally honest. She just left out a few details.
1. In "The Mirror" was the decision to make Demona human during the day intended as symbolic, because she embodies all the qualities that she claims to despise in humans (bigotry, treachery, etc.). Or am I reading too much into it and it was just a way to make her a more powerful villain by freeing her of the limitations that hamper other gargoyles?
2. On that same note, was Demona's smashing of Titania's mirror upon seeing her new human form symbolic of her inability to face herself and admit that she possesses all of the above mentioned qualities? Or am I overthinking again and she just smashed the mirror because you didn't want to do any more stories involving that mirror and it was the only way to explain why Demona never again attempted to use it.
1. Does it have to be either/or?
2. Does it have to be either/or?

This complex of rock carvings is close to Goa Gajah but far less well known.
The carvings date from the fourteenth or fifteenth century, and are set in a very attractive rice field. You can reach Yeh Pulu on foot through the rice fields from Goa Gajah, but you will definitely need a guide for the 45 minute walk as there is no path to speak of. In addition to the carvings, there is a holy well here, and the attendant priest will be happy to bless you with the well water. Temple dress code applies. This is a much underrated and under-visited site, and is highly recommended.

Social skills are very important to instill in preschoolers—they are spending hours of their days around other children and have many opportunities to learn and play together. Here are some tips for teaching your preschooler how to be a good friend.
A huge step for children when making new friends is learning how to share. If you're supervising a play date or if your little one has siblings, encourage your child to share his toy or game. Once he realizes how much fun he can have with others when he offers to share, your child may start doing this all on his own.
Taking turns
Along with sharing comes taking turns—it's all about learning how to think of others at this age. Many children also need prompting when it comes to this task. Merely remind your child that taking turns is a necessity for continuing his game, especially if he gets fussy or stubborn.
Asking what others want to do
Having your child ask certain questions like "What do you want to play now?" is sure to teach him all about being a good friend to his classmates. Being willing to do something else and engaging in what other children want to do also teaches him to think of others and opens up doors to new experiences.
Saying sorry
Teach your child that good friends apologize if they've made a mistake or hurt someone's feelings. It's never too early to teach your child how to make a proper apology and take responsibility for his actions, especially when it comes to his friends.

This weekend was a pretty quiet one – on Friday night I cooked up a tasty storm. I made a Curried red lentil stew with vegetables. It was such an easy recipe, and it smelled soooooooo tasty! I made it to take to L-whacks on Saturday night for our dinner.
|Curried red lentil stew - YUM!
I also added a small sweet potato and half a red capsicum – I want to eat a variety of vegies whenever possible. I had a small taste when this was all cooked, and it certainly hit the spot. A vibrant stew, with splashes of colour.
Our plans for Saturday night changed, so we ended up eating this for dinner last night (Sunday) – oh boy, it was sooooooooo good! The flavours had developed, and adding some coriander at the last minute gave it an even deeper flavour.
Serving it with brown rice, L-whack and I enjoyed our dinner immensely. I talked L-whack through the recipe, and we realised just how incredibly healthy this meal was. The 'unhealthiest' part of the meal was the vegetable oil – all the other ingredients are healthy, natural and so good for you! It was also very filling, so lucky L-whack has some leftover for his dinner tonight (I'm a good girlfriend!)
Next time I make it, I won't change much at all! You could easily double the recipe, add some other vegies (potatoes, pumpkin, beans etc.) – there is another version with coconut milk, but I think the recipe without is pretty darn good already. Perhaps the coconut milk would make it too rich? It would certainly bump up the fat content.
I recently chatted to a naturopath at Evelyn Faye health shop in South Melbourne. I was just in there having a browse, when she came over to see if I needed a hand, and we started chatting about veganism. She asked whether I had started having spirulina (which is a good source of protein, antioxidants etc.) – it's known as a 'superfood', a label which I am very dubious of, but something I thought was worth looking into.)
Anyway, after doing some research I decided that I would give it a go. It's hard to find independent information on spirulina, but after reading user reviews on iHerb.com, I decided to try the earthrise Spirulina in powder form (the body absorbs all the good stuff more easily than tablets/capsules).
It arrived in the mail last week (along with my almond & sea salt chocolove……… DROOL!) And I decided to be brave on Thursday morning and give it a go.
It comes in the finest powder form – a beautiful deep forest green colour – and smells absolutely feral. As I didn't have any juice or similar in the fridge, I decided to brave it and just go with a glass of water. Buh-buom. Bad move. Once the powder hits liquid, it forms into a thicker gluggy type mixture. I kept stirring it – watching it with fear – hoping that if I mix it long enough, then it would dissolve and thin out.
Oh well, just go with it Ess Mick. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. So I took a sip………… I don't know how, but I managed to swallow that sip – and promptly tipped the remainder of the glass down the sink!!
It was disgusting. My mum actually took a smell of the powder and said she 'was going to puke'. So as I had 150 servings of it to go (1 teaspoon is recommended serving for first timers, building up to 2 teaspoons a day) – I decided that I would need to mix it with some flavoured.
So on Saturday, I decided to try making a Smoothie. I blended some soy milk, banana, and frozen raspberries and got a lovely pink mix.
|Banana, raspberry & soy milk smoothie
Then I added 1 teaspoon of spirulina. Yes, 1 teaspoon and this was the result.
|With 1 teaspoon of spirulina!
Hmm subtle. I think that someone with colour-blindness would be able to tell you about this hue of green!
Anyway, the Smoothie certainly helps the flavour of the green stuff. You can still taste the spirulina, but it kind of blends in with the soy milk & fruit, and makes it drinkable. It's not my favourite thing, but we'll see if I get used to it. I've made a pact with myself to get through the bottle, see if I notice any difference to my energy levels etc and then decide whether to get more.
|Hmmmm green

New Trends in Table Olive FermentationSubmit Manuscript on this topic
Table olives are a traditional fermented vegetable with many centuries of history, particularly in the Mediterranean basin, where this food has had a great influence on the culture and diet of many countries. Moreover this fermented food is prepared with fruits obtained from cultivated Olea eoropaea subsp. europaea var. europea trees and has been expanded for many countries all over the world. At present, the table olive is one of the major fermented vegetables, with an overall production above 2,500,000 tons/year.
Thus the table olive industry is increasingly demanding new biotechnological approaches, sensory characteristics and differentiation of the products. So scientists have to focus on solving problems and provide new tools in this fermented food process.
In recent years, there is an increased interest on different nutritional and microbial aspects related to table olives. During the last five years, new fields has been implemented or developed, such us new probiotic strains to produce an enriched product, study of pathogen survival, NaCl content reduction, microbial resistant to stress conditions, microbial biofilms, predictive microbiology, use of NGS and metagenomics, evolution of pigments and use of bioactive compounds derived from table olive processing.
We welcome authors around the world to contribute high quality original research articles as well as review articles in this Research Topic to improve the whole table olive fermentation process. The main goal is to demonstrate the important role of this fermented food in the world and its future impact as one of the main fermented food.

The fifth edition of the European Observatory on Insurance Intermediaries, entirely dedicated to the specific European features of intermediation, is now available on the Internet!
A few years ago, CGPA Europe had the idea of making an enriched and updated database available to everyone, providing an original insight into the knowledge of the intermediary profession. This publication is now a reference in the world of intermediation.
For this new edition, CGPA Europe has decided to complete the usual format of its review with an innovative approach: to create a case law database, based on usual litigations around the professional liability of intermediaries.
We gathered our lawyers together across Europe and asked them to describe various cases they had to deal with, in order to provide an overview of the case law in place in a selection of countries: Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland and France.
You will notice that cases falling into the same "category" (such as litigation relating to insurance premiums and fraudulent acts, the duty to inform and advise or the burden of proof) are often approached differently by European judges, judging disputes through the prism of their own legal culture.
This unique case law directory will be updated each year by CGPA Europe's lawyers, providing an overview of current case law trends.
You will also find in this new edition our traditional report, produced in collaboration with MEDI, on the current state of the European intermediation market: the European Union's position within the global insurance market; the distribution of Life and Non-life premiums in Europe and by country; the concentration of Life and Non-life insurance within the European Union; the structure and evolution of the population of insurance intermediaries: you will find all the latest news!
Another new feature: this year, the Observatory has a section entirely dedicated to bank-insurance: its scope, what are the reasons for its expansion and what are its specificities? You will find the explanations in this study!
This ambitious work will enable you to know and understand with great finesse the practical and legal specificities of the Civil Liability of Insurance Intermediaries, and will be enriched in the coming years with the ambition of enabling everyone to broaden their vision of our profession, both in legal and technical terms.

Special Note from New Lead Pastor Paul Park
Dear South Delta Baptist Church:
We have been in the search process for the lead pastor position at our church for over a year and a half now, and last Sunday's congregational vote has signalled the end of that process. God has proven faithful to us as He has provided excellent leadership through Pastor Rick Burdett, the elder board, and the staff during this time. I am especially thankful to Pastor Rick for his godly leadership in this important period. Although we still have much work ahead of us, I would like to take a step back and take time to process the result of the search process.
First of all, Sarah and I would like to thank God for this opportunity to humbly stand before you as the next lead pastor of our church. It is by God's grace that I am able to serve you in this capacity. We continue to pray that God would empower me, and all of us, through His Spirit to do His work in our community, for we cannot do anything apart from Him.
Moreover, we thank you for your support and prayers throughout the process, and we are excited to serve alongside you as we serve our great and mighty God together. God is moving in our community, and the harvest is indeed plentiful in South Delta. I look forward to seeing the Spirit move powerfully in our community to bring people to Christ. Please continue to pray for God's harvest in our community—that South Delta would come to know the glory of our Lord and that people will respond in worship of the mighty King.
Finally, I am grateful for having you as partners in the gospel work. God has given us one another as partners in the work He has called us to do. We have the privilege of participating in the redemptive work of Christ as a family of those who believe in and follow after the name of Jesus. Blessed be the Lord who has given us this opportunity to be His people. May we continue to worship and honour this awesome God, and together, draw closer to Him each day. I look forward to partnering with you in this exciting time!
Paul and Sarah Park

Saleswhale News | 9 minute read
Three core values that help Saleswhale to grow fast, stay innovative, and empower our employees
One of the key lessons we took away from our time at Y Combinator was the importance of company culture.
In my opinion, culture is not about ping pong tables or free-flow beers at happy hour. It's not even about having fun at work, or even liking the people you work with.
When I surveyed some people who work in other startups and asked them, "What does culture-fit mean to you?" I tend to get back some variation of "I wouldn't be friends with this person in my non-work life." How interesting!
I personally think that this a terrible way to choose who to hire and not hire. Companies that hire like this tend to end up with many people that look the same, sound the same, and think the same way. Paradoxically, that's not a great culture.
To me, culture is the operating system for a company. It governs how people make decisions and interact with each other. It is a rubric for how we hire, who we promote, who we reward, or let go.
A more rigorous way of articulating what a company's culture is, and what is expected of team mates who work at Saleswhale, is our core values.
What are core values?
Core values cannot be aspirational. They have to be authentic; they should describe the reality of life in your company. Core values are things that we live, breathe, and strive for harder than anyone else. That's why it's important for founders to be intentional about their core values and culture from day one.
It's one thing to have a defined set of core values. But embodying your values, and staying true to them, is hard.
For example, every company today wants to be transparent. It's easy to be transparent when things are going well. But what about when the chips are down? Do you tell employees that you only have 0.7 months of runway left in the bank? Do you tell employees that a key employee is resigning because you screwed up as a CEO and share the events that led up to the resignation? Or do you sweep it under the rug?
At Saleswhale, three key values have emerged as fundamental to our culture and identity:
- Transparency, which empowers employees to make their own decisions
- Intellectual Rigor, which helps the company uncover innovative ideas
- Radical Candor, which helps us to grow fast
They're not just nice words that we hang on walls (but hang them on walls we do!). Today, they govern a lot of the decisions we make, how we operate, and how we treat each other.
Our Customer Success intern, Yiran Ning, and the Saleswhale core values posters she designed!
Transparency: giving our team the knowledge necessary to make decisions
At its core, transparency is really about context and high velocity decision making.
As a fast-growing startup, we want to push the ability to make decisions and judgment calls down through the ranks. We want to localize decision making as much as possible.
This is antithetical to most decision-making processes at large, traditional companies. There, you have to seek your boss's approval, who then has to seek her bosses' approval, who then has to convene an internal committee to make the decision.
I believe that if we don't allow more people to independently make decisions consistent with our company's goals, we will lose momentum and stall out. Extreme transparency up and down the ranks builds trust and gives context. This allows us to operate faster and better.
How does transparency look like at Saleswhale?
We have an internal wiki where people can access confidential information. For example, the minutes from our weekly leadership meetings and board meetings. We also share board decks, board memos, and key financial metrics (such as our runway), with our employees.
We err on the side of over-communication. Especially when it comes to potential problems and challenges, even if they ultimately do not occur.
As one of our team members, Fan Pu, puts it, "Things happen on a probability scale."
When we surface potential issues, our team members are mentally prepared to accept the risk, and we give them the ability to react and respond.
Before our Series A funding, there was a point in time when we had less than three months of runway in the bank. The leadership team was upfront about our cash situation with the team, as we counted down the months together.
Here's why we were utterly transparent with the team:
(a) I didn't want to take away my employees' agency. I believed that the team should be given a chance to decide if they want to stick it through with the company, or start looking for a new job. As CEO, of course I wanted every employee to stay the course with us. And I would do my best to reassure, inspire, and plead for them to remain. But I should not deny them the choice to stay or go; or worse, "surprise" people with sudden layoffs like I've seen in other startups.
(b) I believe that we hired well, and have a team of smart and resourceful people. Sharing the context would help us band together to solve this problem. We were able to focus on cutting burn (without any layoffs), collecting accounts receivables, dialling up sales, holding off on expensive software purchases etc. People were able to make the right decisions because they knew of the challenges besieging the company.
I'm proud to say that we managed to prevail as a company, without losing anyone in those three months.

Intellectual Rigor: uncovering the best ideas through open debate
Intellectual rigor is clarity in thinking. The ability to reason from first principles, think deeply and with flexibility when faced with new knowledge and arguments.
Intellectual rigor does not mean high IQ. It's more of a function of humility.
What I've noticed over time is that people without intellectual rigor dislike it when people challenge their ideas. They take it personally. They are not open-minded enough to change their opinions if contradictory evidence or data surfaces. We frown upon such behavior in Saleswhale, as it prevents us from being truly innovative in solving tough problems for our customers.
I find that vigorous and healthy debate, without regard for rank or hierarchy, is a great way to force rigor.
One of Saleswhale's weekly (stressful) sales meetings
Debate is something we value at Saleswhale. We think that conflict (respectful and non-personal) is essential for great relationships. We are direct in giving critical feedback, and we believe that no one should hold a critical opinion without speaking up about it. A good example of open debate is the kind we often have during our monthly town halls. Our town halls are boisterous affairs that involve plenty of back-and-forth exchanges about various decisions and the rationale behind them.
At Saleswhale, it's okay to challenge your CEO or managers, if you feel that there's a better way to do something. It's important that our employees don't fear authority and are willing to engage superiors in debate. We value people who speak truth to power.
When we have a healthy and open exchange of ideas, we allow the best ideas to win, instead of the "highest paid person's opinion", like in many traditional corporations.
This core value ranks as the number one reason why Saleswhale may not be for someone. It's a polarizing core value. Some people don't take well to criticism, especially criticism from their subordinates. Others might be uncomfortable with debating with people who conduct their performance reviews and sign their pay cheques.
That's OK. Saleswhale is not for everyone.
Radical Candor: accelerating growth through fast and regular feedback cycles
This concept comes from the book, Radical Candor by Kim Scott.
Contrary to misconceptions, Radical Candor is NOT brutal honesty. It is not front-stabbing or a license to be a jerk.
What is (and isn't) Radical Candor. Image credit: Kim Scott
The whole idea of Radical Candor is to Care Personally and Challenge Directly. It's not a false dichotomy of choosing between being a jerk or being incompetent.
Think about it this way: if you really care for someone, you will tell them if you think they are making a mistake. You will also tell them when you think they are doing something great.
The point of Radical Candor is to rapidly accelerate growth through fast and regular feedback cycles. This is how companies build great products. We believe it's also what helps to build high-performing teams.
As clever as I think most of my teammates are at Saleswhale, we all have our blind spots. I certainly do. Without Radical Candor, we remain unaware of these blind spots and don't have the chance to improve. In many traditional corporations, most people won't be bothered to give you candid feedback. Instead, they prefer to backstab, gossip behind your back, or engage in political gamesmanship.
Here's an example of Radical Candor in action:
During one of the product discussions for a major feature, I was being petulant because I was not getting my way on a feature I was advocating hard for with the feature team.
One of our software engineers told me, "Gabriel, we really need you to participate constructively now. If you cannot do that, then it's best if you leave the room to avoid derailing this meeting."
It was the splash of water I needed to refocus. It helped me put my petty inclinations aside, and contribute properly to the product meeting. I wasn't offended. In fact, I appreciated that.
The feature team could have kept quiet during the meeting, and then gossip behind my back. "The CEO is being crazy again. Did you see how hard he fought for that petty feature? I hate that he keeps doing this during our product meetings. Why is the CEO joining product meetings again, anyway?" Or, they could have been yes-men and indulged my insolence. "Oh yes, the petty feature you are asking for sounds great, Gabriel, let's do it."
Instead, we were able to disagree and commit because someone had the courage to call a teammate out respectfully, when they felt the teammate could be conducting themselves better.
Some of our feature team members. From left to right: James Keys (engineer), Asher Chua (product manager), and Nicholas Koh (engineer)
This is just one example. We practice this on a micro-level as a team, hundreds of times a week, giving small pieces of feedback. Here are some of the feedback I've seen people giving:
"Hey I think you were a tad verbose during your presentation earlier. I could see some people zoning out where you were reading your slides word for word. Here's how I think you can do better next time…"
"I think you confused the client earlier. Perhaps instead of asking the client what their success criteria is, maybe we can give some benchmarks across our customer base."
"You should budget for some slack time in your quarterly planning, because I saw you got burnt out and overwhelmed during the last quarter when big, unexpected things cropped up."
"Hey I know it sucks losing that sales deal, but where I think you could do better next time is try to multi-thread the deal with more decision makers and socialise it more internally. I am happy to walk you through how I do it, if you want."
I believe that success in life is correlated to how many tough conversations a person is willing to have. People who are stagnant avoid tough conversations. I believe the same is true for a company.

Poem after tonight's storm
Posted on Sunday, June 18, 2017
Must the man be who he is?
Must the man loose all before he changes?
Only the vain,
Only the vain, my dear.
A firefly passes by a couple,
The night remains the same
Everything is different.
We do nothing, and nothing we do,
The gods write beautiful stories,
We must live,
Live we must, my dear.
Because there will always be something that amazes you.
Love we do. Love is always offered.
Must the man be who he is?
Yes, that is the path.
Must the man loose all before he changes?
I cannot answer for that is not my story.
I'm just mesmerized by the firefly he brought with him.
And then it rained.
And we remained silent as the old night.
The night is so old and warm, sweet grandmother night, she hold me until I fell asleep.
Love is offered. Life is offered. We conquer only ourselves.

It's been an incredible year for UK singer songwriter and former BIMM Bristol student George Ezra. His highly anticipated sophomore LP 'Staying at Tamara's' is officially the UK's best-selling artist album of 2018, and now the acoustic indie-pop troubadour has been selected as Music Week's Artist Of The Year.
The news comes in recognition of fantastic chart positions and touring successes for the young artist. Staying At Tamara's topped the UK album chart on its release back in spring of 2018, receiving positive reviews and cementing a triumphant return for the Columbia Records signee. The album has since sold 595,033 copies, with lead singles 'Paradise' and 'Shotgun' receiving widespread mainstream radio support and racking up over a million sales each.
Fresh off the back of his incredible chart positions, George went on to headline Boardmasters and Standon Calling festivals in the summer before embarking on a sell-out UK tour, which included his first arena performances.
George also launched his own podcast series, George Ezra & Friends, which debuted at No 1 on iTunes. His guests have so far included Ed Sheeran, Rag & Bone Man, Craig David and Jesse Ware. As George explained: "What started as a labour of love and somewhat of a passion project, is shaping up to be one of the best and fulfilling projects I've ever been a part of."
This impressive sequence of successes are not just testament to Ezra's phenomenal songwriting abilities, but to his strong work ethic too. In fact, 2019 is already shaping up to be another incredibly busy year for the 25 year old, with further tour dates taking him all the way round Australia and Europe until next Summer.
We're incredibly pleased for George after what has been yet another fantastic album cycle. You can read more details on his nomination as Music Week's Artist Of Year, here.
If you're interested in studying at BIMM Bristol, like George did, why not come along to one of our Open Days to meet our tutors, see our facilities and start your journey to a life in music.

NRIs that are the Non-Resident Indians always miss the country where they belong and thus look for opportunities to invest in the Indian property market. The first main reason that pushes the NRIs to buy property in India is the constant falling value of Indian rupee in the international market. The second important reason that the NRIs make property investment in India is the relaxation in norms by the Modi-led Union Government. Hence, we are listing the documents that are important for the NRIs to purchase property in India.
1. Essential Documents
The salaried NRIs are required to have address proof and his/her two passport size photographs to apply for a home loan. The same documents are required for both in case of co-borrower is also there in the application.
The current driving license and electricity bills will also work as address proofs.
The NRI is required to produce bank statement of the past six months as they hold a Non-Resident External account [NRE] and a Non-Resident Ordinary [NRO] account in India.
The NRI is also required to have six-month bank statement of the account in which he/she receives a salary for catering professional service.
NRI must also produce salary slips of the employer along with the copies of loan sanction letters if he/she has availed a loan in India or aboard previously.
2. PIO Card
The PIO card i.e. the Person of Indian origin verifies the NRI as an Indian national and this card is an essential document to buy a property in India. If not this, then the Non-Resident Indian must have Overseas Citizen of India Card [OCI] that proves the ancestral relationship of the person with the country like as if his/her grandparent and parents are the citizens of India.
Apart from this, any NRI who is not the citizen of India before or after partition must have the PIO card as it is the only way to purchase property in the country. A person can apply for this card in the Indian embassy or the consulate where he/she currently resides.
NRIs can prove citizenship of India by adding birth certificates of both the parents in the documents that are important to buy property here.
3. PAN Card
Permanent Account Number is the second essential document for the Non-Indian Residents to make a property purchase in India. This is also important to file income tax return of the property that will be rented out by the NRIs after purchasing the same.
The PAN card is also a requirement to calculate the total income tax in case the NRI sell the purchased property in profit. The selling of a property for more than its value is said to be capital gains and this is added to the total taxable income of a person.
4. Power of Attorney/ Signatory Authority
We all are familiar with these terms and the transfer of signing rights make the procedure of sale, possession and more easy for the Non-Resident Indian. However, transferring of these legal rights is subject to every individual as many people prefer to fly down here to complete the formalities.
But, the too busy NRIs can definitely have this document to buy an asset in India.
Remember all these things must be verified by the Indian embassy in the country the NRI is presently living

The eBay logo has intrigued me because its so simple and childlike in a way, but I have never been able to find out the origin of the logo until I stumbled upon one of the articles listed below in the reference section.
eBay.com started as an auction site in September of 1995 under the name AuctionWeb. The first logo that it put up was simple black text that said Auction logo on a black and white gradient bar. This logo was apparently referred to as the "Death Bar" logo (shown above)
The current logo was designed by Bill Cleary of the CKS group. The current logo was picked out of the many logos that were designed. Some of the key aspects are listed below
- The primary colors of the logo depict fun, excitement and childlike energy.
- The overlapping letters of the logo are suggestive of the bonding within the eBay user community.
- The letters are not on the same level, they have what graphic artists call "baseline shift". It gives the logo an offbeat feel and shows that company is not averse to change and that its a dynamic company that is always evolving.
- The unusual capitalization of the letters also shows that company accepts change when it is for good. Letter B is not capitalized in the logo even though the name of the company is written as eBay. Designers at CKS thought a capital B would look like a roadblock in the middle of the logo so they capitalized letter Y instead.
Other Trivia
Pierre Omidyar, who had created the Auction Web trading website, had formed a web consulting concern called Echo Bay Technology Group. "Echo Bay" didn't refer to the town in Nevada, the nature area close to Lake Mead, or to any real place. "It just sounded cool," Omidyar reportedly said. When he tried to register EchoBay.com, though, he found that Echo Bay Mines, a gold mining company, had gotten it first. So, Omidyar registered what (at the time) he thought was the second best name: eBay.com.
