With the consolidation of democracy in Argentina bilateral relationships with Australia have been substantially strengthened. Significant opportunities were opened to explore for mutual political and scientific-technological cooperation and the promotion of business.
From the political point of view both countries share a common standing in defending the United Nations System, promoting human rights, participating in peace missions under the UN, and pursuing the disarming and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Both countries are active members of the Antarctic Treaty, The Valdivia Group for preservation of the environment in the Southern Hemisphere, and the UN Conference on Climate Change.
Both countries have similarities in their geography. Both have huge territories, with different climates, from subtropical to temperate and cold, with mining resources and fertile lands appropriate for agriculture and cattle breeding. Both have developed an important industrial and services infrastructure. From the social point of view, both have received an important flow of immigration, particularly from Europe, counting on skilled human resources.
During the last fifteen years the political and economic relationship between Argentina and Australia has developed rapidly. A closer collaboration between both countries has taken place in the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, especially in pursuing liberalization of agricultural trade. A substantial flow of Australian investment has gone to Argentina, covering a wide range of sectors from agriculture to mining, industry, and services. In May 1994 the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Argentina signed with the Minister of Trade of Australia a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation and Consultation that contemplates the promotion and facilitation of bilateral cooperation in different fields. During the last presidential visit to Australia, paid by former President Carlos S. Menem, this agreement was supplemented with some specific understandings covering the areas of agriculture, mining, air transport, protection of investments, tourism, and sports. Argentina unilaterally decided to eliminate the requisite of visas for Australian citizens temporarily entering the country for tourist or business activities. An agreement to avoid double taxation has been signed on September 1st 1999 by Australia's Minister of Trade and Argentina's Minister of Foreign Affairs. In 2001 the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of both countries signed agreements regarding cooperation on educational matters and for pacific uses of nuclear energy. Argentina and Australia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for scientific and technological cooperation.
Regarding the possibilities of regional cooperation, a fruitful dialog has been started among MERCOSUR, a common market between Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay and the area of cooperation between Australia and New Zealand (CER). The aim is to further promote trade and investments between the two regions and strengthen the links among South America and the Pacific Basin. An initiative to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement between the two areas was recommended by the subcommittee on Trade and Investment of the Australian Parliament, and supported by entrepreneurial organisations from Argentina.
Up to now, the bilateral trade of goods between Australia and Argentina has been rather modest. But since 2003 It has been remarkable increasing. In 2010, the bilateral trade was around U$S 585 million. Possibilities for further growth are high, as the participation over the total value of trade continues to be small, smaller than the participation each country has in the value of world trade. The main products sold by Argentina to Australia are animal feed, cars, vegetable oils, leather, steel sheets, tubes and steel pipes, fruit juices, medicines, chemicals, electric machineri, agricultural machinery, herbicides, chocolates, fish and natural honey among others.
Regarding air transport, during the presidential visit to Australia in April 1998, it was agreed to increase authorised frequencies to a capacity of 2400 seats weekly. Today there are three flights a week Sydney - Buenos Aires and viceversa per each company, Qantas and Aerolineas Argentinas.
During the last 15 years, Australian enterprises have invested a total exceeding u$s 2 billion in the industrial, agricultural, mining, and services sectors of Argentina. The most important project so far is "Bajo la Alumbrera" in which Xtrata and Rio Tinto are the biggest shareholders. The investment is of more than 1.2 billion U$S dollars. It is estimated that the company has beeen exporting u$s 3 billions during the last few years, being the third largest exporter of Argentina. Other Australian enterprises with investments in Argentina are Troy Resources, Ady Resources and The Grey Mining in the mining sector; there have been also investments in areas such as container terminals, entertainment services such as cinemas and agriculture.
For its part, the Bunge Group from Argentina is in Australia with investments in the foodstuff industry. For the past three years, INVAP (Investigaciones Aplicadas –Applied Research), from the Province of Rio Negro in Argentina, has been actively engaged in the construction of the Nuclear Research Replacement Reactor at Lucas Heights New South Wales, a project which was awarded to INVAP following an international tender, in mid 2001.
Among the last visits of Argentine authorities to Australia it is worth to mention that in 2001 the then Minister for Foreign Affairs, Rodríguez Giavarini, visited this country and the then Foereign Minister of Australia, Alexander Downer, reciprocated visiting Argentina in the same year. In 2006 the Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs, Jorge Taiana, also visited Australia.
Recently, in 2010 Argentine MPs have visited Australia and Australian MPs did so visiting Argentina in 2011.
In the cultural field there is an increasing exchange of artists, musicians and cinematographic works—activities that help to build up a better knowledge of each other's societies, idiosyncrasies, and achievements.
It is of greatest importance to continue the cooperation of the public sector of both countries to encourage the increasing involvement of political, cultural, social and business sectors. Cooperation at multilateral, regional and bilateral levels offers plenty of opportunities to consolidate the present links and build up a stronger relationship for the future.
The automatic issuing of electronic visas by Australia is an issue that has a significant bearing on the promotion of economic relationships and tourism activities. As mentioned above, Argentina decided unilaterally in 1998 to abolish visa requirements for Australian citizens visiting the country. It is expected Australia will reciprocate in the near future.

The Unlikely King – December 16, 2018, the Third Sunday of Advent
Isaiah 11:1-9, Luke 1:26-38
December 16, 2018
"The Unlikely King." That's my title for this message. My other thought was "The Boy Who Would be King." Both give the idea of what happened at the time of Jesus' birth. The Messiah who was to come was to be the future king of Israel. And that seems incongruous – unlikely – when we think of a baby boy.
It makes me think of the legend of King Arthur. Do you remember? In that story the young boy, Wart, did what the greatest knights of the land could not do. (What did he do?) He pulled the sword from the stone, and was thereby chosen to be king of all England!
I'm also reminded of one of my favorite stories, J. R. R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." In that rather long story, Frodo, the hobbit from the Shire, agreed to carry the ring of power to it's destruction, and thereby bring freedom to all of Middle Earth. As it was said at the great council in that story, "This is the hour of the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quiet fields to shake the towers and councils of the Great. Who of all the wise could have foreseen it?"
I love that! And while we're thinking about the unforeseen and the unlikely, let's add one more story, the story of the shepherd boy, David, the least of the sons of Jesse. Yet it was he, and not his older (and stronger) brothers, who was anointed by the great Prophet Samuel to be the future king of Israel. (I Samuel 16) And and we know, he would be the greatest of all the kings of Israel. And of course David was the king from whose lineage would come Jesus himself.
And that brings us to perhaps the most "unlikely king" of all! Because this is now the third of the three "themes" of Advent. This is the theme which remembers the coming of Jesus into the world. This is when we look at all the prophecies and stories surrounding that event. And as I said already, this is the theme of Advent we think about the most.
Just to remind you, the other two themes are – and these are in no particular order – the events at the beginning of Jesus earthly ministry, and his promise to come again – that which we call "The Second Advent of Christ."
Today, we look at the First Advent. That is our theme. Today, we think about all the stories surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. And here we find that same idea I was just talking about, the unlikelihood of the one coming to be king. Here, in this story we have this baby, born to a peasant family, lying in a manger, in a barn, (or a cave,) right among all the animals.
I want us to try to picture that today. Because I think we tend to idealize that part of the story. That whole "manger thing" is just part of the picture. We fail to see the extreme contrast we have here, when we compare that picture with the importance and power of God's Messiah! Here we have this "child," this "boy who would be king." And yet here we have what the angels told the shepherds, "A baby – a newborn – wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger! Lying in a food trough for the animals!" Just imagine how that scene, described by the angel, would have sounded to those shepherds! I've been trying to wrap my head around that one this week! And it's hard!
That humble beginning of Jesus' life seems completely incongruous with some of the words prophesied by Isaiah:
And the government will be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
"Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom,
to establish it, and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and for evermore. (Isaiah 9:6-7)
We know those words, don't we? They're part of the Advent/Christmas celebration every year. But I wonder. Do we make that connection? Knowing those lofty words like we do, is it hard for us to think of the Messiah as a baby born to a peasant girl? What do you think Mary and Joseph thought about all this? Do you think they knew those words of Isaiah?
Today we read what the angel Gabriel said to Mary when he told her what I'm sure was shocking news, that she was going to have a son! I don't think we see that part, either! After explaining how that was all going to happen, he said about this child,
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High;
and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever;
and of his kingdom there will be no end." (Luke 1:32-33)
Do you think she was thinking about that? Then, when the shepherds came to see the child, and they told Mary and Joseph all that they had seen and heard, and what the angels had said to them, Luke tells us that Mary "Kept all these things, pondering them in her heart." I'll bet she did! I'll bet it took a while to "sink in." I'll bet it took a while for her to understand the importance of all of this. I'll be it took a while for her to see "the big picture."
And I'm thinking, maybe we need to "keep all these things and ponder them in our hearts," too. Because I think they do sometimes become too "routine," too much "just part of the story." I'm thinking we need perhaps to "tweak" our mental imagery, to see the great contrast here, and to try to "wrap our heads around" this.
That's what I want us to do as we draw closer to Christmas. Think about the great contrast, the unlikelihood of this coming king. Hear again these words of Luke. And of course, hear the voice of Linus, telling us of this story. "And this shall be a sign unto you. You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger." Think of that humble picture. Then contrast that to his next words, "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, singing 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace among all people."
Eternal God, help us to see more clearly the wonder of the Christmas story and your great love for us. Help us to keep these stories in our hearts, and to ponder them, throughout this season. Help us to know the joy of you salvation, your Savior who came to be one like us. For this we pray in his name, Amen.

Look at that big, beautiful slab of salmon. I love it. Smoked salmon is one of those things I can't help but splurge on every couple of months. It's a tricky thing to buy, though, because you have to take into consideration where it comes from in order for it to be sustainable. A good source for buying salmon and other seafood is montereybayaquarium.org. It looks like wild caught Alaskan sockeye salmon is a good choice, among others. I've also read that farmed salmon and other farmed fish may not be as high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which is what the fish is known for. All in all, I don't buy fish on regular basis because a) it's overwhelming and b) it can be expensive. But it sure is delicious.
This grilled cheese is kind of cheating because I didn't actually grill anything, although I'm sure if I did, it would make the sandwich even more decadent. Instead, I hauled the ingredients to work for lunch. I mixed capers with cream cheese, slathered it on toast, topped it with smoked salmon, and had a wonderful sandwich that was simple to make. If you'd like to grill it, build your sandwich and cook it in some olive oil in a pan.
Smoked Salmon "Grilled" Cheese
Serves 1
2 pieces whole grain bread
1 tablespoon capers
2-3 tablespoons cream cheese (if you must do low fat, don't go any lower than 1/3 less fat. Otherwise you'll just be eating filler, not cheese)
1-2 pieces smoked salmon
Toast bread. Mix capers and cream cheese. Slather on toast, top with salmon, and add second piece of toast.

Aslockton is an English village and civil parish twelve miles (19.3 km) east of Nottingham and two miles (3.2 km) east of Bingham, on the north bank of the River Smite opposite Whatton-in-the-Vale. The parish is also adjacent to Scarrington, Thoroton and Orston and within the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire.[1] The population was recorded as 974 in the 2011 census.[2]
Appearing as Aslachetone in the Domesday survey of 1086;[3] the place name seems to contain an Old Norse personal name Aslakr + tūn (Old English) meaning an enclosure, a farmstead, a village, an estate, etc., so "Farm or settlement of a man called Aslakr".[4] There are 19 such place names (a Scandinavian personal name followed by tūn ) in Nottinghamshire, all of them in the Domesday survey, and all apparently ancient villages.[5]
All that remains of the 12th-century Aslockton Castle are some earthworks. The motte, called Cranmer's Mound, stands about 16 feet (5 m) high.
Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury 1533–1553, was born in Aslockton and lived until the age of 14 in his parents' cottage, which still stands in Abbey Lane. The Archbishop Cranmer Church of England Primary School (an academy since 2014, having opened in 1968), the Cranmer Pre-School, and the local social facility, the Thomas Cranmer Centre, are named after him. (For secondary education, Toot Hill School in Bingham has a sixth form and academy status.)[6] Aslockton originally had its own Holy Trinity Chapel, a peculiar under the collegiate church of Southwell Minster rather than the diocesan bishop,[7] but this fell into ruins and was incorporated into a private house. Some remains of it can still be seen.[8] Cranmer and his father worshipped at the Church of St John of Beverley, Whatton.[9] He has also given his name to a local prospect mound.[10]
The population of Aslockton was 171 in 1801, 273 in 1821, and 289 in 1831.[11] The village had a population of 363 in 1936.[12]
The land for Aslockton Cemetery was purchased in 1869, at which time the only place of worship in the village was a Methodist chapel, which has since been converted into flats.[13]
The present Grade II listed St Thomas's Church was designed by the architect Sir Reginald Blomfield and erected in 1890–1892 in memory of a former vicar of Whatton, Thomas K. Hall, who drowned in February 1890 as RMS Quetta was wrecked off Queensland on her way to Thursday Island.[14] His mother, Mrs Sophia E. Hall, paid for the church. The Quetta window on the north wall depicting the shipwreck was designed by Michael Stokes in 2002, as was the east window, dedicated to Cranmer, which has Jesus showing his hands to Doubting Thomas.[15] The church has a single bell in a bell cote at the west end.[16]
The parish forms part of the Cranmer group, with Hawksworth, Scarrington, Thoroton, Whatton and Orston. The incumbent is Rev. Bryony Wood. The vicarage is in Aslockton.[17]
The Thomas Cranmer Centre opened in 2010 and serves as the village as well as the church hall. It replaced an earlier village hall and is attached to the parish church on Main Street.
Despite the village's small size, it had two pubs: the Old Greyhound and the Cranmer Arms. The former closed in May 2007, but the new owners submitted a planning application to turn it into a restaurant.[18] The restaurant was not included in the final housing development. The village has a small shop, which includes a post office and a dry-cleaning service. Aslockton Hall contains a nursing and residential home for the elderly.[19]
The Aslockton windmill and bake house stood in Mill Lane (grid reference SK739408).[20] The mill was a wooden post mill, weather-boarded on a brick roundhouse, with four single patent sails. The miller and baker in 1864 was Job Heathcote.[21]
The village railway station has regular services to Nottingham, Grantham, Spalding and Skegness. There is a bus service to Bingham and Bottesford for onward connections to Nottingham, Newark and Grantham.
Aslockton has a parish council that belongs under Rushcliffe Borough Council. Since December 2019, the member of Parliament for the Rushcliffe constituency, to which Aslockton belongs, is the Conservative Ruth Edwards.[22]
The local free quarterly newsletter, delivered to every house, is called The Voice.[23]
Whatton and Aslockton have a joint cricket club said to date back before 1815.[24] It has two senior teams in the South Nottinghamshire Cricket League and a colts team in the Newark Under 15s Premiership League.[25] Aslockton Cranmer Football Club fields several teams for adults and youngsters.[26] There is also a tennis club,[27] and table tennis teams at the Thomas Cranmer Centre.[28]

The Beavers actively have 3 men's teams playing in 2016. With the regular season wrapping up in a few weeks and playoffs starting in mid April it seemed like a good time to give an update on how each division is doing. There is also a positive note from head coach Kevin Taylor at the end of the article that everyone should enjoy reading.
Third Division - Thirsty Thirds No Longer -1-5-0
2016 has seen the Beavers field a much different looking 3rd division side from the recent past. The U20 players from last half's provincial championship team have filled in very nicely into the 3rd division roster. The team still has some "old boys" on it that can still play solid rugby, but for the most part the team is very young. The Beavers alumni have noticed a dramatic change to the team's style of play and have said that the team looks a lot faster, fitter, and way "more attractive" to watch play. The club's third division players have fully committed to be at both Tuesday and Thursday night practices, and as a result there is now pressure on the 2nd division players to not miss training otherwise they could potentially lose their spot. It may not seem like a big deal to some clubs getting their 3rd division players to practice, but in the past the Beavs norm was attempting to round up enough players on Friday night to try and field a team on Saturday morning. The team in the recent past was much more focused on the social aspects of club rugby. This half has seen the Beavers play every single game on the schedule and even pick up an exhibition game when possible. This was a dramatic change from past seasons that had the club defaulting most games that where away. The team presently averages about 20-21 players on the roster each week. The club has won a game against SFU RFC and has lost some very tough away games; including games against the Brit Lions RFC, Capilano RFC, Chilliwack RFC, and Burnaby Lake RFC. Obviously for being in 3rd division B there are still plenty of quality and respected rugby clubs in the competition. Away games are always challenging to play for the Beavers in 3rds because the rest of the Beavers are usually off at another location playing 1st & 2nd division games. Most teams that play thirds in the Beavers league do not field a team in the Okanagan Mainland League. These challenging circumstance have been excellent for our young players who are excelling at playing against more experienced sides from clubs that have premiere players in their respected club.
The Beavers recently played very well in an exhibition game against Burnaby Lake RFC on March 5, and even though some 2nd division players made it out on the field for the most part it was the 3rd division side that led the way. From all accounts that game could have been a second division match as both sides featured some very fit and skilled players for a 3rd div game. The club expects the 3rds to continue to improve as a result of the consistent turn out to practices and with additions of more quality players like the Halicki brothers, and the 6'4" 280 lb 23 year old Quentin Flack joining the Beaver ranks. The 3rds most recently lost 30-10 to the top side in the league Burnaby Lake RFC over the weekend in a regular season match. The score at half was a narrow 5-3 lead for Burnaby. The opposition showed they had a little more experience and adjusted brilliantly to the Beavers stubborn defense in the 2nd half and they took full advantage of missed tackles and spreading the ball out wide. The 3rds still did an excellent job taking it to Burnaby for most of the game and were a little unlucky to have not put up more points. The game was well taken in by the Beaver faithful and even though the boys lost by 20 points the crowd was pleased to see many future 1st & 2nd division starters amongst the 3rd division ranks.
Even this late into the club season coaches are still getting inquiries from new players wanting to play for the Beavers. The club even had two South Africans just last week come out to training to check out what the rugby club was all about. There certainly has been and still are some growing pains with getting such a young group of men out on the field. Even though the record has not been favorably for the Beavers 3rd div side it has still been a huge accomplishment to see the club putting out a competitive team each and every weekend.
Everyone in the club seems to agree that the 3rd division team is no longer a social side that fits the tag line "Thirsty Thirds" but instead a starting point for our players to transform into 1st and 2nd division regulars.
2nd Division - 6-3-1
The 2nd division side continued on with the second half after the winter break with their first game against Meraloma and the result was similar to the match up they had in the first half. The 2nds lost to the tune of 43-12 but did keep the score line rather tight for the first 60 minutes, and the game was a lot closer than what the final score indicated. After that tough game the 2nd division team has been putting up solid performances and are currently holding down 3rd place in the league standings. Coach Kevin Taylor believes that the team is getting better every week, and is benefiting from the depth the club has at the present time. Like any club this time of the season the club has seen several players become unavailable because of injuries, and this late into the regular season a club is only as good as the size of it's bench. Fortunately the club has several solid second half players available to come off the bench as impact players and close out games. It seems that as soon as a player goes down the coaches have 2 or 3 options to choose from when replacing that injured player.
The 2nd grade players are certainly playing with more consistency even though there is about 3-4 different players rolling into line up almost weekly. Taylor also believes that more players are taking more active roles on the field were as before they would have played more of a supporting role. These player that are stepping up during the games has dramatically changed the level of confidence the 2nd div players have in eachother, and every game usually has 4 or 5 different point scorers.
The intensity at practices and the tempo the 2nd div side is playing is getting much faster and the execution is much more crisp. Most recently the 2nd division side lost 48-12 to Abbotsford RFC. The game was much closer than that score indicated, but Abby definitely played like a side that deserves to be at the top of the standings. Abby side was a bit bigger of a side than the Beavers are used to seeing at the breakdown, but the Beavs actually had an edge in the set pieces. Abby broke the 2nds near the end of the game and scored a few walk in tries at the end. Some key starters for the Beavs were missing from the line up against Abby but hopefully the club can get some redemption against them in the playoffs when it all matters.
The 2nd division's oldest player presently is inside center Justin Ralph at age 25. Like the 3rd division side the average age is under 22. This bodes well for the Beavers future and the club is very happy to see the 2nd division team in a playoff spot once again. The Beavers have had their 2nd division team qualify for playoffs consistently since the 2010-2011 season and this year unless something dramatically changes in the league standings the Beavs will add to that playoff streak.
1st Grade – 7-3-0
Like the 2nd division side the 1st division side started the second half after the break against Meraloma which was not exactly what was expected considering the club had already played them in November and still had not faced several other clubs that are in the league. The 1st division team was feeling confident going into the game believing that they let the first match against the Lomas slip away from them. Leading at half the Beavers were unable to finish the final 20 minutes of that first game and ended up losing it. It started the Beavers 0-2 on the season, and many doubters started lining up thinking this team doesn't have much to offer this season. When arriving at Connaught Park January 23 you got the feeling that the Lomas really believed it was going to be business as usual against the Beavers. However this time around the Beavers had a fresher lineup with the addition of backrower Trevor Sear who just got back from playing club rugby in Germany subbing into the pack, and star outside center Clay Ross starting in the backline for the first time in over a year. The coaches believed that this was the clubs most complete roster since the 2012 provincial championship team. The 1st division side came out with a huge upset win against the Lomas to the tune of 34-17 and made a little Beaver history in winning that game in the Lomas back yard for the first time in decades.
Including the win on December 5th against Richmond the 1st division side went on a 7 game win streak that had been just recently snapped. After a lot of hard work the 1st division side now sits comfortably in a playoff spot in second place. These results are due to the commitment of the players working hard at each and every training session. The club has really learned how important it is to have proper team runs against each other which has really helped in the execution that is happening on the field. The players are also enjoying training session much more since the men's coaching change from the last several season that saw morale at an all time low. The club's 2nd and 3rd division players have applied tons of pressure on the 1st division starters to work hard and execute their roles otherwise they risk having their roster spots taken.
Most recently as mentioned the 1st division side had their win streak ended by Abbotsford RFC in a defensive battle between the two best offensive teams in the Okanagan Spring league. The Beavs led at half 13-12 and the second half was hard fought for every inch, but Abby managed a penalty kick and late converted try with about 10 minutes left in the game. The Beavers played plenty in Abby's half but squandered their opportunities with silly penalties around the ruck and going into contact. A very well deserved 22-13 win for Abbotsford RFC and they look like the favourite to make it to the provincial finals.
The loss does come at a good time for the Beavers because it is good for the players to understand that they need to improve in a few areas that were not exploited by other teams during their long winning streak. Coach Taylor told the 1st division side "Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn" and that is exactly what the 1st division side will do moving towards the playoffs. This loss should keep the boys hungry and motivated to work harder to try and get even better for the remainder of the season. If the 1st division side keeps working hard like they have been they will win the games that count the most in late April in the playoffs, and motivate the rest of the men's teams to do the same.
After having such a positive turn around from last season coach Taylor has this to say:
This season has made all the years and time I have put into this club worth it. It is nice to be part of the kind of success the club is seeing in the men's program presently. The club is looking the way it did when I first became a member in the late 70's, and I am very proud of this club and what we have achieved after the set back of the seasons since our 2012 championship. I am even more proud of the fact that we have been able to overcome this adversity by working together. My philosophy has evolved over the last 10-12 years from being a head coach that had the only voice in the locker room and believing that there should only be one voice. People have argued that a coach needs to let the players know who's in charge, but I now 100% dis-agree with that philosophy.
I believe you need to have several voices to coach a club as special as this one, and it is important to know that there is more than one way to do things. A coach must be humble and should not let egos or personal relationships get in the way of success. It is important to listen to your players input and empower them. Let them have responsibility because it's their team. You need to listen to the players because I believe they will come up with the solutions that work for them. It is easy to have everyone buy in when everyone is on the same page, and the only way to get everyone on the same page is being open by discussing team issues freely.
At first a lot of veteran players approached me about their fears about having player coaches and to "many cooks in the kitchen" and this was really apparent when the club was not getting the results it wanted earlier in the season. But once the wins started happening week after week, getting fifty plus players attending training, having more new players join and older ones return, I think it's safe to say there is no real concern about how things are operating presently with the men's program.

British GT champion Michael Caine completes Team HARD's four car line-up for the 2018 British Touring Car Championship.
The 48-year-old is aiming to compete his first full season in the series after a handful of one-off appearances since 2011.
Caine believes HARD will be able to give him the machinery to be competitive this year.
"When I took the call from the guys at Pioneer Race Events mid-December and spoke to Tony [Gilham], I thought Christmas really had come early for the Caine household," said Caine.
"It wasn't just about the drive, it had to be a seat that would be competitive. I feel that the team has built on consecutive positive campaigns and is now in the right place to be a challenger, with a competitive package in the Volkswagen CC, and the right resources to be a presence in the 2018 championship."
Caine made his BTCC debut in 2011, racing with Motorbase Performance at Rockingham and Brands Hatch. He returned to the championship, again with Motorbase, in 2013, taking a best ever finish of eighth at Croft.

Process and Pattern of Agricultural Marketing!
Agricultural marketing is a complex phenomenon. It is defined by Thomson as comprising "all the operations, and the agencies conducting them involved in the movement of farm produced goods, raw materials and their derivatives". The agricultural marketing system is a link between the farm and non-farm sectors. With the development in agricultural sector, the marketing system has also changed.
In the Indian context, "agricultural marketing is a process which starts with a decision to produce a saleable farm commodity, and it involves all the aspects of market structure or system, both functional and institutional, based on technical and economic considerations, and includes pre- and post-harvest operation, assembling, grading, storage, transportation and distribution" (XII Report of National Commission on Agriculture).
The functions involved in agricultural marketing are:
(i) Exchange functions:
(a) Buying (assembling)
(b) Selling
(ii) Physical functions:
(a) Storage
(b) Transportation
(c) Processing
(iii) Facilitation functions:
(a) Standardisation
(b) Financing
(c) Risk-bearing
(d) Market intelligence
In fact, marketing functions are activities that are to be performed during marketing of any farm product and all these functions are interlinked with each other, thus forming a part of an efficient marketing system.
Marketing Process:
Agricultural marketing as a business activity involves the flow of goods and services from the point of initial production until they reach the ultimate consumer. During this entire process the commodity moves from one hand to another and also from one place to another. But all these actions and events take place in some sequence, which is known as 'marketing process'.
The agricultural marketing process/system starts with the farmer and his production, while at the other end of the system is the consumer. The process starts with movement of farm products to the market and its contact with business firms or traders. The factors affecting this contact are transportation, communication, system of law and order and monetary systems, which are also associated with business management activities.
The actual buying and selling activities are done under certain norms and also under some organisational system and ultimately the product first purchased by traders—'wholesalers or retailers through middlemen/agents—and reach the consumers. The whole process has been depicted in Fig. 5.1.
In India, in spite of the existence of regulated marketing, the system of agricultural marketing varies from region to region and also within a region. The prevalent systems are—sale in village, sale in mandis, sale in weekly markets, sale of agricultural produce through co-operatives and sales to government.
The methods of buying and selling prevalent in Rajasthan including that of region under study are as follows, but most of the systems are not functional today:
(i) Under Cover of a Cloth (Hatha System):
In this system, the prices of the produce are settled by the buyer/commission agent by twisting the fingers under cover of a piece of cloth. The method provides opportunities for cheating the seller as well as the producer. Now this method has been abolished by the government.
(ii) Private Negotiations:
The prices of goods are fixed by mutual negotiations, as is common in unregulated markets. In this method the producer farmer is always at the mercy of the traders/agents.
(iii) Quotations on Samples Taken by Commission Agents:
In this method, commission agents used to go to the shop of the buyer with samples of the product. The produce is given to the one whose bid has been the highest.
(iv) Dara Sale Method:
By this method, the produce in different lots is mixed and then sold as a one lot. Although this is a rapid method quality control is not possible in this method.
(v) Moghum Sale Method:
In this method, the mutual understanding between buyers and sellers is necessary, because the price paid to the seller is that prevailing in the market on that day or at the rate at which other sellers of the village sold the produce. But in practice the buyer pays less than the prevailing market rate due to one reason or another.
(vi) Closed Tender System:
This is similar to an auction but the rates are not open and bids are invited in the form of a closed tender and the product is given to the highest bidder. This method has also been stopped with the adoption of a regulated marketing system.
(vii) Open Auction Method:
The best method of agricultural marketing is the open auction method. Here, the prospective buyers gather at the shop of a commission agent around the heap of the produce, examine it and offer bids loudly. The produce is given to the highest bidder.
In regulated markets the auction is done under the supervision of the officials of the market committee. In Central Hadaoti region the open auction system has been adopted according to the Rajasthan State Agricultural Marketing Act, 1961.
The agricultural marketing system of the Central Hadaoti region is similar to that of the rest of the State. The entire process in a generalised form has been depicted in Figure 5.2.
It becomes clear from the figure that two types of marketing system of agricultural products are prevalent in the region, viz., (i) private trade, uncontrolled and without state intervention and (ii) regulated market operations in which trading is done under rules and regulations.
In non-regulated markets agricultural products reach the consumer either directly or through a middleman, trader or government agencies. In regulated marketing, an open auction is done by registered traders and agents in the presence of government representatives under specified rules and regulations.
Although Rajasthan State has banned systems other than regulated marketing, in unauthorised way, trading of agricultural products has also been done in all parts of the State including that of the region under study.

Three (so far) granny square bags of summer
crochetbug13 posted a topic in Bags & PursesI have made two more bags to give to two women who run a board and care where my cousins have lived for years. These women are absolutely amazing, and I cannot say enough good things about them. They are 110% crochet worthy, so I made two of these bags for them as a way to say thank you for all that they have done through the years. One of my cousins recently passed, and the other has cancer. Through it all they have been at their side and treat my cousins as if they were family. These are extraordinary people, and I hope I have achieved making them each an extraordinary bag. Here is a blog post with a couple of pictures of the smaller one all on its own.

**New** Dahlia Pillowcover
LillaBjornCrochet posted a topic in Patterns-for-Sale LinksThis is my new pattern of a pillow cover published on Ravelry yesterday. This crocheted Dahlia decoration for pillow cover consists of 9 square motifs made in Overlay crochet technique. If you use other colour palette for this pattern, your pillow cover will look completely different, and unique. Many Popcorn stitches used in this pattern give the whole design nice volume and structure. This square motif can be also used for blankets, bags or just as an appliqué for clothes, curtains and so on. The motif is very thick as it has two layers due to large amount of overlay stitches. So if you decide to crochet a double sided pillow cover – you will not even have to buy or sew a fabric pillow case.
I started work on this piece August 1 (Here is a link to the inaugural blog post) and finished it yesterday with 15 minutes to spare (Here is a link to the final blog post). There are times I honestly thought I would not get it finished, but with lots of help from my family (thanks especially to my youngest son who has become quite the expert coffee maker over the course of this) and friends, here it is:
This is a pattern of pillow cover which I called "Lucky Quatrefoil". Pillow cover consists of square motifs crocheted in the Overlay Crochet technique. They remind me of quatrefoils which are famous for bringing good luck to people. But at the same time they look like small butterflies as well. The square motif can not only become a part of pillow decoration, but you can also crochet a blanket or a bag with it or just use it as an appliqué for clothes. This easy to follow pattern of a square motif (10 pages) is written for one size. It contains step by step full written instructions in English using standard crochet abbreviations and US terms (stitch guide is given in the pattern). It also contains lots of pictures explaining all the tricky and difficult places and how the motifs are joined. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lucky-quatrefoil-pillowcase

Monday, March 25, 2019
Took today off of work and decided to brew a warm weather beer -- another version of my recipe that I call Japanese Sunshine. For this version I've kept it basic with three and a half pounds of Briess Golden DME, one and a half pounds of Briess Wheat DME, a pound of rice syrup solids and Sorachi Ace hops. The hops were added at 15 minutes left in the boil and at the end of the boil -- one ounce each. The wort is being fermented with Wyeast 3711 French Saison. Decided on a four-gallon batch as I shorted myself a bit on DME. (I ended up raiding the pantry for leftover DME.) Chilled the wort to about 90 given the reading on my infrared thermometer. Water from the tap for my chiller was 50 degrees. Wort and water in the fermeter seemed not to mix so gave the fermetner a good shake after pitching the yeast. I have an ounce of Lemon Drop hops that I may dry hop with in the secondary or for a couple days in the primary at the end of fermentation. Also, I've had no problems with the Gigawort since using only DME instead of LME.

Butterfingers Drop New Single 'Bullet To The Head'
After blasting back onto the Australian music scene last year, hip hop rockers Butterfingers are ready to get back on the road with a massive run of tour dates around the country kicking off this March. And to announce that fact they've unleashed another fiery new single unto the airwaves - Bullet To The Head, one that again blends that '90s-era rap/rock style with a more modern sound. The track feels especially modern when you dig into the lyrical themes, tackling the increasingly talked-about stress of social media and life in our digital age, with the typical ferocity and fervour we've come to expect from Evil Eddie and the gang.

Known as Maroon 5's lead singer and coach on the hit show, The Voice, Adam Levine is adding a new title to his impressive list: People magazine's Sexist Man Alive. Featured on the special double edition of People, Levine lounges back, clad in tattoo's, a white t-shirt and a five o'clock shadow that sets hearts a-racing!
A Little Bit of History on Adam Levine
Born in the sunny state of California, Levine entered the world in 1979 to dominate music. The young maestro of song created his first band when he attended
private school. During his senior year, Levine and friends released the album, The Fourth World. The band appeared on a stint in the original 90210 yet dispersed
shortly after hitting early success. Jesse Carmichael and Levine wanted to make music and they knew the best way how. They would reunite with their former band members, add in a new guitarist and take the world by storm.
The band has been hit with a string of success, after their 2004 Grammy Award win for best new artist. Levine has earned his way into the industry and sung by superstars like Alicia Keys. In 2011, Levine was approached to become a coach for potential singing sensations on The Voice. Many may recognize Levine as a face seen on critically acclaimed series, American Horror Story as well. The multi-talented star has certainly earned his industry accolades. Now, he has an extra title to hold above his head as People magazine's Sexist Man Alive.
Adam Levine Joins a Stellar Crew
Adam Levine joins a list that is far from dowdy. From The Notebook's Channing Tatum, The Proposal's Ryan Reynolds and Pirates of the Caribbean superstar, Johnny Depp – this is one list Levine can brag about. Ladies and many gents sighed around the world at 2012's Sexiest Man Alive, Channing Tatum. Tatum shared he loves giving romantic gestures to his wife, like massages and loves to immerse himself into workouts. The interview only boosted Tatum's appeal to his loyal fanbase.
Levine also shared some items of interest with People magazine. He has a sense of style and he makes no excuses for it. His father owns a boutique in LA and Levine credits his love of flair to his pops. Get ready for the sighs! Levine is ambidextrous; with an ability to strum beautiful melodies with his right hand on the guitar and Levine writes with his left hand. Talented and super cute, say what?! For another "awww" moment, Levine shares he has a "Mom" tattoo on his right arm and points out other items of work on his body (don't you wish you were there?)
In addition to being talented and fashion conscious, Levine has a gold lab by the name of Frankie who is an extension of his family. The lead singer is currently engaged to Victoria's Secret model, Behati Prinsloo. The gorgeous model seems to have changed something within Levine, as he once warned off ever getting married. Previously, there were reports Levine was seeing Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal, during a brief break-up with Prinsloo, but it appears that is history as he has his martial sites on his fiance.
Adam Levine Wrap-Up
With a net worth of $35 million, Levine is kicking back and enjoying life. He is in the prime of his time within the industry. He comes across as humble, intense at times and much loved by millions across the globe. Adam Levine is titled as People magazine's 2013 Sexist Man Alive. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments below.

Dzia-Uddin, Dziatul Nadiah (2013) Psychological empowerment, motivation and job performance amongst 5-star hotel employees in Kuala Lumpur / Dziatul Nadiah Dzia-Uddin. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi MARA.
Hospitality and tourism in Malaysia is growing as one of the major revenue contributor to the country's economy and moving in line with vision to make Malaysia as a high-income country. Overall, this achievement was due to effective tourism activities that have been planned by Malaysia ministry of tourism until this industry became steady. Hotel industry plays a vital role as complement to tourism as it provides accommodation to tourists. Nowadays, in an increasingly competitive global economy make hotel industry became very competitive especially in the big cities such as in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In order to compete with other competitors, the hotel management needs to find ways and acts fast in order to make its hotel to be the best hotel in terms of satisfying the guests as well as the employees. One of the ways is by adopting empowerment because this approach can allow the employees to fulfill all guests' needs and wants, and at the same time the employees will have the feeling of ownership. This study attempts to investigate the influence between psychological empowerment dimensions (meaning and self-determination) and motivation and the implication on employees job performance. The determinant of the study framework model of this study was adopted by several researchers which are Thomas and Velthouse (1990), Haozhan (2010) and Indradevi (2012).
