Here's a way to make a statement about creepy guys who sexually harass or heckle you on the street ...
Take a selfie with them!
That's what Noa Jansma, a young woman living in Amsterdam, decided to do after growing sick of strangers on the street yelling rapey stuff like, "Hey Baby, how about a kiss?" or "Hey sexy, where are you going all alone?"
"I know what I would do with you, baby."
Noa Jansma is the 24-year-old student who decided to take back her power from the men who regularly sexually harass her as she simply tries to walk down the street.
She had the ingenious idea of taking selfies with these men, then shared their faces with the world — literally — via an Instagram account she dubbed @dearcatllers.
And here's the kicker ...
These clueless men actually agreed to be photographed, because they have NO IDEA they were doing anything wrong!
"honks at me 3 times with his scooter, approaches from behind and cuts off my way* "God bless, When I see you, all I get is wild thoughts, wild, Wild Thoughts!! Darling" *honks again 3 times*"
In an effort to shed some light on this very real form of verbal harassment, she took it upon herself to expose the guys saying such disturbing things to her as, "Hey horny girl, why don't you smile?"
FYI, gentlemen. That is not a compliment.
"After following me straight for 10 minutes 'sexy girl Where you goin'?? Can I come with you?'" reads the caption under one post standing side by side with her widely grinning stalker.
So many women found themselves able to relate to her photo story that her Instagram account has gained global attention, being called "brilliant" by many women.
Interestingly, it has more often been dubbed "ridiculous" by men.
One man's disheartening, chauvinistic comment on the post below captures the far too many men's take on the issue of street harassment:
"Yeah, did what you expect then? Limiting men's right to express his mind? Life is hard, if you even cant deal with something like this, then stay at home is the best choice you have."
TRENDING NOW on YourTango
Jansma launched the account in August of 2017 with this statement regarding her mission and objective:
"#dearcatcallers, it's not a compliment.
"This Instagram has the aim to create awareness about the objectification of women in daily life.
"Since many people still don't know how often and in whatever context 'catcalling' happens, I'll be showing my catcallers within the period of one month.
"By making the selfie, both the objectifier and the object are assembled in one composition. Myself, as the object, standing in front of the catcallers represents the reversed power ration which is caused by this project.
"Please join me in the fight and post your own #dearcatcallers or send me a DM."
Her brilliant project went viral, amassing 299k followers to date, and sparked a worldwide discussion.
Women weighed in on several posts with one-word reactions such as "gross" or "repulsive", while the majority of men who chimed in came off as both defensive and unsure as to why she and other women don't seem to like receiving such compliments.
Jansma's initial role in the project concluded one-month after she began it, on September 30, 2017, with women thanking her for her courage and bravery.
"Thank for all the support and messages," she concluded. " It has been made clear that catcalling is still a common occurrence that many of us are dealing with."
"My month of posts has ended but it doesn't mean that catcallers are in the past as well. To show that it's a global phenomenon and that this art project is not only about me, I'll pass on this account to different girls around the world. This will be a process, so stay tuned."
I must say, if she ever goes to New York City, she'll be guaranteed enough catcalling selfies to keep posting for the next 10 years.
And in 2018, Jansma presented a TedX Talk in Vincenza, Italy, explaining "how, by taking selfies with her catcallers, she reversed, in terms of power, the roles."

Jane Cures Herself from Cancer!
Sometimes we can take what we know for granted, and assume that everybody else knows or are just stupid. However, when the general conveyor of information is mainstream media, we can bet bet most of us are still entrenced of the myths of yesterday. One such myth caught my attention afew days ago, and that is 'cancer cannot be cured'! Then I received an update from Natural News, to find that the link on how someone had cured themselves from breast cancer when clicked came up with The page cannot be found
"The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
So surpassing that I came across Jane…
With no previous family history, Jane discovered a lump in her breast in 1987. A mum at 42, like anyone else, struggled with the idea of having cancer until she was diagnosed. With three adolescent children, one of which was a 13 year old girl had ther problems with coping with it as well.
After a mastectomy, 12 sessions of chemotherapy and 35 treatments of radiotherapy, the lump remained sticking out of her neck.
The cancer had now spread to her lymphatic system, which todays evidence that chemotherapy actually spreads cancer is not surprising.
Jane began to think for herself as pieces of the puzzel was slowly coming together, like when her husband (mineralogist and gemologist) on a return trip from China mused over why the chances of breast cancer amongst Chinese women was as low as one in 100,000. It then ocurred to Jane that the Chinese do not have any diary products in their diet.
So, given nothing medical had worked, Jane followed a gut instinct, an inspiration as she was learning more about her own body than any doctor.
Jane decided to removed from her diet all dairy produce including organic yoghurt, and other other products that use milk e.g. biscuits, soups etc. Within days of doing so, the lump began to itch. Then the lump began to soften. Then the lump began to shrink. Six weeks later the lump that had been with her since 1987 disappeared!
Being a scientist herself there was no big announcement. Instead Jane researched the subject. With the support of friends, Jane began to form her own views about diet and cancer. As a scientist Jane still supports what is deemed as conventional medicine, but in fact is infantile when compared to more developed traditional forms like Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Jane in her research had discovered that milk contains certain growth factors receptors for which are in the breats and the prostrate – the result cell division and reproduction, and that includes the division and reproduction of damged cells.
Jane recommends:
- Eating lots of vegetables, and fruit with more emphasis on vegetables.
- Reduce saturated fats, and increase monosaturates (e.g. onlie oil, oily fish, nuts etc.)
- Vegetable proteins (e.g. lentils)
- Minimize intake of salt and sugar
- Increase spices and seasonings that have anti-cancer properties (tumeric, cumin).
- Eat wholegrain cereals
- Drink alot of filtered boiled water not tap/bottled
Jane has maintained this regime, and remains free from cancer 10 years on. Her specialist at Charing Cross Hospital., U.K., initially sceptical, his lectures now include maps showing cancer mortality in China, and recommends a non-dairy diet.
Jane still goes to hospital for check-ups, and doctors remain in disbelief, while her discovery gave her 10 more happy years with her family!

Short of a series of typhoons in 2023, Google deciding to create and fund a Scottish League or an ancient Scottish Maori tribe being uncovered, what could be done to see 'Scotland' carved into the side of the William Webb Ellis Cup?
The natural pessimistic answer would be nothing, it's impossible. But when you see how well Japan did at their RWC with such limited resources, how far Ireland have come on in the past decade and considering the fact that anything is possible in knockout rugby – then why not? Surely in all sport you have to aim for the top, or not bother turning up at all.
So what would give us the best chance of taking on the best, what would need to be done to achieve it and, perhaps crucially, how would it be funded?
All crazy, hair-brained and left-field ideas welcome.
- 8th November 2019 at 2:24 pm #10009
France 2023 seems a bit too soon, so let's say we miraculously took over at the SRU tomorrow and targeted the RWC 2027 (mooted as being in the States or Argentina).
Obviously we need to expand our playing pool beyond just two pro teams, some exiles and a gaggle of kilted Kiwis. So a 3rd pro team has to be the minimum (and probably a 4th to boot).
But how would it be funded? Conservative estimates put the cost of running and PRO14 team at a minimum of £4million p/a. Sadly Scottish Rugby doesn't have that lying around.
So do we axe the Sevens? That would be a shame – especially as they've had some success in recent seasons (most notably winning the London 7's).
Or do we borrow it? We've only just got close to paying off the mountain of debt that's been hanging over the union forever. So that doesn't seem ideal.
Maybe we create a smaller feeder team ala the early days of Connacht. Make it up of old players and young academy players, accept that they'll be whipping boys for a while but gradually increase their share of the pot over 3/4 years. Or, alternatively, take 33% of Glasgow and Edinburgh's players and supplement all 3 teams with emerging players from the u20's.
Results would suffer and we probably wouldn't see any Pro14 titles in Scotland for a while, but in this scenario we surely have to sacrifice some club success for the national side. In Japan they used the Sunwolves as a test ground for players from the Top League. Their results suffered, but this helped create the cohesion we saw in their games against us and Ireland.
This might give us a 3rd team, but not sure how we'd muster a 4th.

Laxatives in the pre game grub 💩. Worked for the Boks in 95…Although they may catch on by the QFs.
What happened with London Scottish? It looked like that was all go as a pathway, then it went quiet. Are the SRU still planning on buying into a Premiership team? That one always sounded like madness.
I think brining back the A team would be a smart move for tying in more young SQ players and getting them a higher level of game. Could also reintroduce a possibles Vs probables game. A small thing, but again it'd help get players used to a higher intensity.

We need to get more Pro teams in Scotland, Ireland have got 4 – Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht, Wales have got 4 – Scarlets, Blues, Dragons and Ospreys, and we've got just Glasgow and Edinburgh. The collapse of the Borders team was terrible – the one part of the country that actually has rugby in the blood.
More kids playing is an important one for the long-term – more effort getting kids to play in their local clubs.
And can we get Vern Cotter back for a bit too? There's no way we'd have got smashed so badly by Ireland if Vern has been in charge. Sorry Gregor, you're great but something's missing.
- 17th November 2019 at 10:58 pm #10458
We definitely need at least another pro team, it's just that the SRU have repeatedly said they just don't have the money for another one. Perhaps the CVC windfall could be used for it (reportedly £35 million).
Pro14: League agrees £120m CVC investment deal in principle
The Pro14 has agreed a deal in principle to sell a 27% stake of the league to private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. The deal will result in a cash boost of almost £120m to the league owned by the Irish, Scottish and Welsh Rugby Unions.
The only other way would be an development style pro team packed full of u20's etc. Not sure if the rest of the PRO14 would be so keen on that.
It's a shame the SRU slammed the door on London Scottish as they did. Would have been a much cheaper investment as they're already set up and have a squad (albeit Champ standard in place).

By Leston Manyozo, Nankhali primary school
My name is Leston Manyozo. I am twelve years old and I live with my mother who sells groundnuts and potatoes at the local market.
The construction team at our school has people with different skills, others focus on mixing mud whilst others do the actual building. I think that by the end of November or early December this year the school blocks will be completed, which will ensure that no student learns under a tree.
My favorite subjects are; English, Social and Environmental Sciences and Mathematics. I love sports and I like playing football, basketball, volleyball, tennis and rugby.
Our garden looks good because we grow vegetables of different kinds.
Currently our school has a lot of students. With the school blocks being constructed, more students could be accommodated. I think no learner will be abused.
When I grow up I want to become a soldier and a leader. I will be an army commander.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Greensboro-based Children's Home Society of North Carolina has launched its annual Little Red Stocking fundraising drive, and landed a $2 million federal grant to recruit families in the Sandhills and Eastern North Carolina for adoption and foster care.
The group also has raised more than $6.4 million in a $10 million capital campaign it launched in 2002.
The annual drive, which was begun in the early 1950s and consists mainly of mail solicitations, aims to raise $350,000 this year, up from $316,000 last year.
The federal grant, which will provide $400,000 a year over five years that the Children's Home Society will match with $40,000 each year from its annual budget, will support efforts to promote and raise awareness about adoption in the region and recruit adoptive families.
"Eastern North Carolina has been seen as a kind of untapped resource," says Brian Maness, director of marketing and communications for the group.
Formed in 1902, the Children's Home Society last year served 337 families considering putting their children up for adoption, placed 140 children in adoptive homes and provided nearly 24,000 days of foster care.
Still, of more than 10,000 children in foster care in North Carolina, more than 3,000 are waiting to be adopted.
The group will use the grant to run ads and hire recruiters to enlist adoptive parents by visiting churches and other meeting places, distributing information kits to churches, and visiting local departments of social services, which have custody of children awaiting adoption.
The Children's Home Society will license and prepare families for adoption, and match them with the social services departments.

Download Fever Ray's Peter Gabriel Cover
Published Aug 19, 2010Despite Peter Gabriel having a tough time getting certain musicians to cover his work, Fever Ray's Karin Dreijer Andersson isn't one of them. Today (August 19), the eccentric Swede released a cover of Gabriel's 1986 So track "Mercy Street," and you can pick it up now as a free download.
The track will be released as a limited-edition seven-inch later this year via Rabid Records, but courtesy of NME, you can download it here for the price of free. However, the download is only available for 24 hours, so you might want to scoop this one up while you still can.
In a post on her website about the cover track, Andersson writes, "We made it more intense and faster to fit our excentric pecussionists and energetic live musicians. It's a monotone track, but we work with the dynamics trying to make it sparkle. I listened to it a lot when I was around 15; it still moves me. Made me start reading Anne Sexton too."
To compare, Fever Ray's cover is streaming in the SoundCloud player below and you can listen to the Gabriel original in the embedded video.

So you've got yourself a shiny new Chumby Device and want to know how to connect to it over SSH so you can start testing all the cool Flash apps your building for it (obviously this would be the first thing anyone would think to do, not, I don't know, playing with the device or loading it up with hundreds of cool apps that other people have created.. I digress..) The first, and most important, step in this process is to make sure that you Enable SSH on your Chumby device. Luckily for you, I have written a couple of blog posts outlining just how to do this on a number of Chumby devices.
Once SSH is enabled on your device, you will need to get your hands on an SSH client (this is what allows you to connect to the device and enter commands). How you accomplish this will depend on whether you are using a Mac or a PC:
If you're a Mac:
You already have SSH installed on your computer. To use it, open an application called "Terminal." Once you have terminal open, you simply type "SSH" (without the quotes) followed by the address of your device, "-l" (which is the argument for login name), and finally the login name, which for all Chumby devices is simply "root" (without the quotes). The command should look something like this:
ssh your.chumbys.ip.address -l root
Simply type that in at the command prompt (the entry line in your Terminal app) and hit enter. If everything was keyed in correctly, you should now be connected to your Chumby device and ready to make it do your bidding!
If you're a PC:
You will need to download and install an SSH client (I use a free one called PuTTY). Once you have your SSH client up and running, you will need to enter "email@example.com" (ex: firstname.lastname@example.com) in the filed labeled "HostName", and select "SSH" as the connection type. Once all your info is keyed in, hit the "Open" button. If everything was entered correctly, you should now have an open terminal window and be connected to your Chumby device!
Where to go from here?
- Check out the Tips and Tricks section of the Chumby Wiki for all sorts of cool things you can do over SSH
- Learn how to test and debug your own Flash apps on your Chumby Device

A futuristic "ice house" was revealed as the best design for a comfy place to live on Mars in a NASA competition.
But now, space boffins have revealed the other mind-blowing designs showing how our future homes on Mars could look.
Designs based on lava, vegetables and robot starfish all made it into the final selection of judges' favourite designs.
Steve Jurczyk, administrator at NASA's Space Technology Missions said: "Shelter is an obvious necessity as we prepare to explore worlds beyond our home planet, but space and weight aboard our vehicles are precious.
"That's why we are seeking the technology to reuse the materials we will already be carrying, and combine them with what is already available at our destination, which is, in this case, soil.
"We recycle here on Earth – why not on Mars?"
Team GAMMA put forward their pitch for a semi-autonomous multi-robot dwelling shaped like a starfish which beams out a protective shield around itself.
Another boffin bunch called Team N.E.S.T. drew up their plans for a 3D-printed safe-house which looks like a squash or pumpkin.
And it could be less than 15 years before humans move in to the high-tech space abodes.
The latest graphic illustrations are part of NASA's "Journey to Mars" project, which aims to settle explorers on the red planet in the 2030s.
A whopping $1.1million prize pot will be given to the winners of Phase 2 of the design competition, which accepts ideas on how to use recyclable materials for houses on Mars.
It is hoped the technology developed throughout the competition can be used for building affordable homes on Earth too.
Space designers can submit ideas until January 31.

Ogof Draenen to Big Country

Matt E wrote...
After a five hour trip from OFD1 to Top entrance the day before to 'warm us up', we were in the mood today for a proper adventure into the magnificent Ogof Draenen. I have previously done the round trip, been to the Dogleg Series, The Geryon, and War of the Worlds, but Big Country had not yet crossed my mind; until a few people recently recommended it. It certainly looks big on the survey, so we hoped we'd be in for a treat.
We did a little pre-trip research the week before, mostly thanks to Tarquin's excellent online descriptions. This excellent resource has seen all our former trips into Draenen be successful, so we had high hopes. We were not disappointed; the route to Big Country was well described, including from the point where it departs the 'main route' to the Snowball near Big Beauty junction, all the way through the Three Amigos and onto Big Country itself (and beyond; but that will have to wait until next time).
With descriptions and copies of the survey we set off at 9:30am on Saturday morning from SWCC to Pwll Du, to meet an enthusiastic and enormous crowd of cavers embarking on conservation/taping work, videoing missions (including our very own Pete) and others on a trip to Yellow Van Passage too. We decided to allow half an hour for the procession to get through the entrance passages before heading down there to avoid too much congestion.
The entrance was its usual grotty self, but from experience I know all the tricks to avoid getting a waterfall down your neck; oversuit zipped up with neckstrap firmly done up; and suit over the top of the wellies. Maintaining dry feet in Draenen is one of life's little pleasures. Down the wet slot in the stream, I was pleased to be still dry under my oversuit, and we made quick progress to Cairn Junction, without sight of the others ahead of us; they must move fast!
Through Beer Challenge (a low crawl which continues beyond the start of Wonderbra, which bypasses Tea Junction and a lot of boulder hopping) and up into Lamb and Fox chamber, we then made quick progress through Indiana Highway, Megadrive and into Nunnery Passage. Here, I found myself with the usual debate; is it the first or second right; after a quick consultation of the map we remembered that it is the second (the first is Going Square, the second is Perserverence II, the best way, the third, confusingly, is Perserverence I). Along the easy crawl of Perserverence II, and the first key junction was reached; straight on only 30m to the Arms Park pitch and the start of the round trip, but sharp right towards Rift Chambers and our way onwards.
A quick water top-up in Rift Chambers and we were on into Eliptic Passage. This was all easy navigation, as I had done this so many times before; it felt like second nature now. Eventually, Eliptic Passage degenerated at a cobble choke, and the crawls on the left too us through Lucky Thirteen, and then to the very obvious T-junction, Big Beauty, where we met Prof. Talling and his team.
Going left, about 50m down the passage we quickly found the alcove leading to Big Country. This started as an immediate steep slope up into a small chamber, with a small passage leading off, with ramps up and down for a short while. Tarquin's description for the route to Big Country (via the Three Amigos) was absolutely excellent, a mixture of all sizes of passage and chambers, and very varied. No chance of getting bored on this route! Ian, being a relatively new caver, expressed his joy at being the first up into the passages after Big Beauty Junction, so I handed him the survey and description and retired lazily to the back of the group. He navigated faultlessly.
The final section before Big Country is a painful flat out crawl in a knobbly tube for about 60m, with a narrowing (The Canyon) half way along. This proved quite a struggle for Chuck, who despite being perfectly average middle-aged (sorry Chuck) male build, really did need all the available space to fit. The trick is to either stay high, or start low and then switch to high a metre in. The tight bit is no more than 3m long and returns to painful crawling, before popping spectacularly out into the enormity of Big Country. Wow!
Right, the Big Country stream was soon intercepted, and we followed this downstream in huge, impressive passage with ample blackness ahead, despite a number of rather high power lights in the team. The stream coming in from Blorenge entered on the left; we had a quick poke up there, and it continued in fine stream passage (for a long way according to the survey) but we didn't have time. This was just to be a recce trip to see whether the Big Country was a worthwhile destination. Instead we continued downstream, and the stream narrowed into a channel in the mud, surrounded by tall and slippery mudbanks which had clearly been recently 'reformatted' by flooding; not a footprint anywhere but wet and slippery water carved mud. I'm not sure what conditions cause Big Country to flood to at least 2m deep but I don't fancy being there when it happens!
Continuing downstream, the excellent passage continued, rising up above the stream before a ramp down blocks on the right dropped us back to the stream in a wide and impressively proportioned mud chamber. Downstream further, the passage narrowed more, became more mud choked, with the water having cut a deep and narrow channel, and then eventually a sump-like feature was reached. Time to go home! On return to the ramp, we noticed the possibility of not such good air here, as we were all notably out of breath, despite this being the easiest section of cave we had encountered yet.
Big Country did not disappoint; a dramatic passage easily comparable to War of the Worlds and MS&D; maybe not quite as large but still very enjoyable and a worthwhile destination.
The outward journey was extremely efficient. On return to Big Beauty junction we encountered another group of three, who had been to War of the Worlds. These characters were exiting from the unauthorised third entrance near to Eliptic Passage, and had possibly entered via the illegal new entrance Twll Du which was dug, without permission, illegally, on a scheduled ancient monument. The selfishness of some cavers never ceases to amaze me. I am proud to have used (and to have always used) the authorised entrance, and having enjoyed one of the key things Draenen offers; adventure, journey and remoteness. If people want to do short through-trips in multiple-entrance big systems then please go to Ease Gill or OFD and stop selfishly digging more and more entrances to a cave that many enjoy BECAUSE it has (had) only one entrance. Unfortunately, there seems to be many in South Wales who seem not to respect the democratic wishes of the caving community to support one entrance, in favour of their own selfish actions. A sad state of affairs; I love this sport, and the caving community, but unfortunately all communities have their bad eggs. I rest assured that these are in a minority and most cavers show greater respect to the efforts that have gone on over the last 20 years to conserve Draenen and mediate access in a democratic way.
On return to Cairn Junction we were caught by the Yellow Van team, who must have been extremely quick and efficient. Out by 9:30pm and back at SWCC by 10:45pm for a well-earned beer and some great company. Splendid trip in one of my favourite caves.

Ogof Draenen to Dogleg Series
Aileen, Gary, Matt E
Matt E wrote...
After numerous trips to the far reaches of Ogof Draenen over the last few years (including one to Medusa's Children, one to the Geryon, and one to War of the Worlds and Sandero Luminosa at the opposite end of the cave), we were on the lookout for new places to visit in this excellent system. A tip off from a few club members recommended the Dogleg Complex, a different branch from the end of MS&D. After watching the excellent YouTube videos by The Freems (Youtube name 'Catchpool'), documenting a trip to here, it was clear that this part of Draenen is home to some of the finest formations.
A trip here was a must and so a bank holiday weekend at Whitewalls was promptly arranged.
A reasonably early start for a team of five enthusiasts suggested an efficient day ahead. Unfortunately on arriving at the Draenen car park opposite the Lamb and Fox, myself, Gary and Aileen waited patiently for Rachel and Toby to arrive in Rachel's car. After 30 minutes and no sign of them we were wondering what had happened. With no mobile signal, we gave them another 30 minutes before deciding that we might as well get started and hope they would catch us up (we knew they had recently been as far as MS&D so hopefully knew the way).
Aileen, Gary and I made quick progress through the entrance series, Beer Challenge, Indiana Highway, Megadrive etc etc, arriving at the Snowball in about two and a half hours - Not bad going! Into Last Sandwich Crawl, and the 30-40 minutes of long but not too hard crawling commenced. It was good to be back at MS&D after a year or so away. We stomped along to the junction where on all previous trips we have headed up towards The Geryon, but this time we headed down to 'Into the Black' down a steep slope of boulders (with a handline at the top). In the chamber at the bottom, a cavernous stream passage disappeared into the darkness (hence the name), but up on the left a steep rubble slope lead up into the Dogleg complex, and then the route was on the right at the top of the slope up yet more scree slopes. This did not look like a place many people had visited!
The Dogleg Complex is a very old, high level fossil complex of joint-driven cave development. It is a three dimensional labyrinth of junctions. Thankfully, Tarquins description which is freely available online (http://www.cavinguk.co.uk/draenen), is excellent. There are a few confusing moments where it is necessary to read ahead considerably to see what bits to ignore and what to follow, and some creative interpretation, but we encountered no major difficulties. Within 30 minutes of entering the Dogleg complex we arrived at our target; a stunning, absolutely magnificent, grotto at the end of an inconspicuous low passage, hidden beyond five minutes of arduous flat-out crawling.
Peering into this grotto from the approach, it is like a fairyland of columns, stalactites, straws and helictites. Stunning! They were in splendid condition, thanks to the difficulty in reaching this location and the fact that this is a dead end so it is not a thoroughfare. We admired this stunning chamber for several minutes and Gary took photos before we moved on.
Next stop was Circus Maximus, where it was nice to be back into more typical Draenen type caverns. There were some very nice stalagmites and straws here. However, the real treat was just beyond Circus Maximus, another dead end with a stunning gallery of flowstone and helictites. Absolutely pristine!
After more photography, we started on our outward journey, stopping only for a brief stomp down the first few hundred metres of the Into The Black Streamway, and exiting the cave at 9pm after about 10 hours underground.
What a superb trip - I thought I'd seen the finest Draenen had to offer before today - But the Dogleg pips the others to take first place.
Arriving out we found a note pinned to the entrance hatch. Rachel's car had a blown out tyre on route to the cave. Very bad luck indeed, but at least they'd got a top notch trip to the Courtisan in Aggie the day before to slightly compensate. It was nonetheless fun telling them how great The Dogleg was!

Ogof Draenen to the Dollimore Series and Medusa's Children
Matt E, Mark, Gary
Gary wrote...
Everything was definitely against us for this trip. After Matt got some kind of flesh eating infection in his foot the night before and me being full of cold (not to mention knackered from doing Aggy for 7 hours), we'd all but written off our planned Draenen expedition. Things didn't get any better the next morning... it had snowed overnight and the road didn't look good!
Despite all this, and not leaving the hut until 11am, we managed to get to the Draenen car park and were swiftly underground!
After the usual fun dunk in the entrance waterfall we were making good time and were soon in Indiana Highway. At this point my cold caught up with me and I was on the verge of turning back, but I soldiered on thanks to the plethra of drugs Mark had with him!
Mostly easy going for a while with a quick stomp through Megadrive and on to Nunnery Passage. We had a bit of discussion about which passage off the Nunnery it was but we chose right. It was not long before the formations started with the very unusual gypsum crystals in Mid-winter Chambers, shortly followed by the Snowball which you can't help put sit and stare at for some time!
Then the crawling began...
There was a lot of groaning and grunting (mostly from Matt) through the Last Sandwich crawl which seems to go on forever ending in a few squeezes which turned out to be not that bad. The reward was worth it when we popped out all of a sudden in the HUGE passage called MS&D (more singing and dancing??). After (yet another) food stop we stomped off down the vast space to arrive at Luck of the Draw.
It was at this point that the description stopped stating distances in meters and moved onto kilometres! 'Follow the passage for 1.2km' it said! So off we went. After an easy rope climb up we entered some easy walking passage which mostly remained that size for it's length. Some time later we arrived at our goal for the day... Madusas Children.
I would agree with all descriptions I have read about this place... it is by far the most amazing formations I have ever seen and definitely the best in the UK as far as I know. For about 30m of passage the walls and ceiling are literally covered with the most bizarre bright white helectites, any one of which would be worth a long trip to see. The well taped path took us carefully through into another section of the same formations. Mark took some video while Matt and I headed on a bit.
By now we were all pretty knackered but pushed on to The Light Bulb formation then attempted to find the Geryon but failed after several crawls. Never mind - next time!
The return trip was arduous to say the least but we were out before midnight to a snowy Wales and thankfully didn't get stuck on the way back to the hut!

Ogof Draenen to Sendero Luminosa
Max, Richard G, Nikki
Richard G wrote...
An amazing trip. Fired up with enthusiasm after hearing about Mark, Andy V and Jennie visiting some of the far reaches last March we decided to visit War of the Worlds. A long (5h40 in, 5h out) trip, but not too demanding - just lots and lots of cave. The formations in Sendero Luminosa off War of the Worlds North are incredible. WOTW passage is awe inspiring - second biggest after the Time Machine in Daren, but arguably more impressive as it is straighter and more consistently massive. Other great formations including the Snowball (Gypsum ball the size of a football) and the Washing Machine.
Since getting back and looking at the photos of Cantankerous Surveyors Passage, I itching to get back and go there.
Longer trip report to follow...

Ogof Draenen (Gilwern Passage to Hearts of Olden Glory Streamway)
Matt E, Gary, Chuck
Matt E wrote...
A little bit of a mistake in this trip, which was originally intended to be Strawberry Passage!
We headed down at midday via the pitch bypass to Cairn Junction. Looking at the survey (of which we only had a very small scale copy) it appeared that Strawberry Passage headed off to the north from Tea Junction. Sure enough, we found a passage heading off from Tea Junction which continued in a straight line for considerable distance (far further than suggested by the survey) past some fine crystal formations on the wall, eventually ending at a junction. From here, up a slope of boulders was a huge chamber with no way on (also not on the survey for Strawberry Passage), whereas straight ahead the passage had tape across and a note requesting we don't proceed any further due to delicate formations. At this point we were feeling pretty underwhelmed by Strawberry Passage, which despite its grandeur was nowhere near as pretty as we expected and nothing like what it appeared on the survey. Were we in the wrong place or was the survey incorrect?
We were about to turn back feeling somewhat disappointed and bored, when Gary went to investigate the route of a tiny trickling streamway into a low crawl. Minutes later he shouted to follow and we navigated a route through a hideous boulder pile to emerge in stomping passage again with a small stream and thick mud banks all around (unfortunately still with the ubiquitous marker tape that seems to adorn every passage throughout the cave).
Our adventure was soon rewarded with some fine straws, and then soon after a junction was reached. Bearing left soon closed down into wet muddy crawls and we were in no mood for getting down and dirty on this trip (being knackered after Ogof Carno the previous day). Turning right however went into some fine meandering stream passage, doglegging a couple of times before reaching a boulder collapse, finally providing us with the sense of adventure and exploration we had been wanting. A route down through the boulders, and up and over them was apparant by the presence of anchors, however, as we had no idea where we were (and our callout was for Strawberry Passage, which by this point we had decided we couldn't possibly be in) we declined any acrobatic stunts and called it a day, now feeling much more satisfied with our trip.
Of course, it wasn't until that evening reading the detailed 25 page description of Draenen that we realised our huge error. Strawberry Passage does indeed appear on our shrunken survey to head off in a straight line from Tea Junction, but in fact can only be accessed at higher level by traversing around the pitch bypass and Cairn Junction. We had actually adventured up Gilwern Passage and into the Hearts of Olden Glory Streamway. A return trip to explore the furthest reaches of this area is a necessity, and maybe next time we'll actually go to the true Strawberry Passage.
Gary wrote...
Not really feeling like *another* Draenen round trip we decided to investigate another area – Strawberry Passage… or so we thought!
With low water, the entrance was rather more pleasant than on previous trips with only a small amount of water going down the slot above the scaffolding. Still managed to get my pants wet though :)
Headed for Cairn Junction and signed in then up to Wonderbra and to Tea Junction with no problems. We sat at the slope just beyond Tea Junction for some time in awe of the vastness of the passage before heading into what we assumed (and the survey suggested) was Strawberry Passage. After a relatively easy start in the huge drive-a-bus-down-it sized passage, the going got a little tougher with constant up and down over slippery blocks for what seemed to go on for ages. We finally reached a Y junction with a climb up at the end. The right hand passage ended in a taped off area with some really nice formations and a strange flaked calcite floor. The left hand passage went up through boulders to a huge dry chamber which, after some exploring, we decided there was no way on.
By now we were all getting board at this rather un-interesting area of Draenen and headed back down the choke to the Y junction. Then we noticed a small, low crawl at the bottom of the slope and, despite being fairly sure that Matt had just peed there, I went off for an explore.
The obvious worn but small passage headed up through boulders to a squeeze with an enticing space beyond. I called Matt in case I needed pulling out then slithered through. The passage soon emerged in another large and very well decorated area with a stream flowing down it. This, we later discovered was the start of Hearts of the Glory Streamway. Following the taped area which kept us in the knee deep muddy stream passes some amazing 1m long straws before emerging a another stream way and Y junction. Following the stream left (down stream) got lower and we decided we didn't want to get wet so opted for the right passage (upstream). A good distance of nice streamway followed before ending a boulder choke.
So what started as a rather mundane trip actually turned out to be really quite good. All the way out we still thought we'd been in Strawberry Passage but turned out we'd gone almost to the north most end of the cave.
I would defiantly recommend this area for a shorter, but interesting trip with some great formations. Judging by the amount of footprints, a seldom visited aera too. A return trip with a camera me-thinks.

A DJ since the 80's sporting 30 years unbroken service I'm a south Londoner who's Irish and I have a guilty pleasure of reggae music covered over by classic soul. Growing up in Stockwell and hanging around Brixton I cut my teeth in the late night reggae parties with one blue bulb, one turntable and speakers like wardrobes! As the years spilled past I found myself at various clubs, radio stations and get togethers, I had a spell on the northern soul scene but my love for 80's style music always quenched my thirst back to playing what I loved. BRFM gives me the chance to bring some classic tunes to the table whilst keeping our adored listeners up to date with whats happening in and around the Island.
What I love about BRFM, The People, thats what it is for me because everyone I'm involved with has a passion and a love for bringing quality radio to the Sheppey Community. The feed back from the listeners is awesome too, It's great that they share their everyday lives with us and it's kinda like we are all sat around each other having a coffee, I love it.
How would I describe myself… Well Im kinda cheerfully jolly, and extremely nerdy and prone to
a bit of sillyness – I tend to disapear in my own world a lot. I'm left handfed and I think like
a left handed person which means things are never boring!
Join me Mondays on BRFM and lets go on our own adventures together with some quality music thrown in for good measure!

Electricians, plumbers, technicians and engineers – these are the people who will make it happen, who will make the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energies. The list of professions encompasses all sectors when we consider the wider transition to a global green economy. But what policies are in place to ensure workers possess the right knowledge and the expertise for green economy jobs?
Two of the key issues under discussion at the 2010 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Cancún and analysed in the Climatico debriefing on the conference are capacity building and technology transfer. Bound up in these issues is the challenge of providing the education and training necessary to foster the skilled workforce that will help combat climate change.
Over the past few years, numerous studies, articles and reports have highlighted the need to develop skills across all sectors to make the transition to a global green economy. Some have focused specifically on the skills required for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Whether looking at the international, national or industry levels, there is widespread agreement that skills shortages exist across the board, in both developing and developed countries. Conferences, workshops and other events have been organised to discuss gaps and share ideas for solutions. However, the activity in this area seems to be largely on the higher plains of theoretical analysis and policy discussion. What measures are being taken to fill skills gaps in practice?
Take the example of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report 'Towards a Green Economy, Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication' released at the end of February. The authors of the synthesis report, lead by Pavan Sukhdev, recognise the expertise deficit throughout the global economy. One example they give is of the shortage of labour in Germany's renewable energy industry, be it among engineers, maintenance staff or site managers. They then emphasise the need for international, public, private and civil society organisations to provide technical and financial assistance to developing countries for national capacity building and training activities. Without this support, the transition to a global green economy will be far from fair and equitable.
Another example is the recent conference held in Edinburgh, the 14th conference on The Latest Technologies in Renewable Energy – Heating and Cooling Applications, organised by the European Energy Centre (EEC), TERRE Policy Centre and UNEP, and attended by academic and industry experts. Keynote speaker Rajendra Shende said 'there is not enough time to wait for new policy as a driver for taking action against climate change'. Rather, local grass roots initiatives are the way to go.
The organisers of the conference are not waiting, but providing practical solutions to the skills shortages. The ECC, supported by UNEP, the European Commission and academic partners, specialises in training technicians and managers in different aspects of renewable energy technologies. If only, as Mr Shende wondered, governments would support initiatives like this in the renewable energy industry on the same scale as the bailouts they gave to commercial banks.
This is the first in a series of posts that will explore different aspects of the challenge we face in providing the education and training for jobs in the low-carbon green economy. If the subject is of interest to you, don't forget to check back over the next few weeks for the next installments.

"The greatest human quest is to know what one must do in order to become a human being."
– Immanuel Kant
In part 1, I began the tale of my quest to the rainforest last week. Part 2 told of the magic & power of El Yunque and my first trip there. Now in part 3, I will continue the tale, but I cannot promise to finish tonight. There is much to tell and precious little time.
As you may recall, I was called upon to spend a few nights in the rainforest just 1 day after guiding a group there, last Thursday. I was dropped off after dark without food, tent or sleeping bag. After setting up camp, I made my medicine wheel and began my meditation, in which I connected deeply with the earth and all her elements. It was a beautiful and profound meditation, after which I knew what I must do in that moment: go down to the river.
I was camped up above, just a short distance off the trail in an old abandoned hacienda. In the daylight is is about a 1o minute hike down the trail to the sacred ceremonial site on Rio las Tinajas. But in my meditation, I was called upon to go down with nothing. No shoes, no clothes and no light.
I have hiked many times in the rainforest barefoot, sometimes for great distances. It is challenging, for certain, but invigorating. It creates a powerful bond with the earth that is unlike any other. But i have never gone without clothes. Or light.
This is a remote area, where no 2-leggeds are known to tread at night, at least before this one. So I had no fear of running into anyone. Only running off an unseen cliff in the dark.
The half moon was beginning to rise in the east, so the was light in the sky to illuminate the trail, but not directly. I descended into the valley towards the river. The darkness enveloped me completely as the trees covered the trail. All of my senses were heightened. I crept along the trail, cautiously, cat-like, as the jungle rang out in a high decibel symphony of life. When I couldn't see the trail, I looked to the sky to see where the trees parted for a clue to where I should step next. It had been raining that day, so the trail was wet, muddy and slippery. Some places had deep puddles that I tried to avoid, but in the darkness it is difficult to avoid that which cannot be seen.
This hike was an exercise in patience. As long as I moved slowly and carefully there was no real danger and little fear. It was like a game. Or a test.
The most challenging part was the steep final descent to the river. With a thick canopy above, the darkness was complete. But I knew the path I had taken many times before. Moving slowly, using hands and feet, I made my way down, all the way to my sacred spot beside my beloved river.
I made it!
Another meditation at the ancient altar, followed by a swim into the cave behind the waterfall. The water level was still low, as it was the day before, so it was easy. One of the few times I was able to reach the cave without a big jolt of fear and adrenaline. This was my reward for making it down alive.
To be continued…

I personally fear that the stress is turning me into someone I don't like, an irritable, domineering, and short-tempered person. Just surviving the next two weeks of classes with my sanity and friendships intact will be the highest priority. It's only a month until we leave, and sadly, it can't come soon enough. I'm looking forward to spending Christmas and New Year in Australia with friends and family, catching up and recuperating ahead of the final semester of study back in Dallas.
In anticipation of the return home, and in an attempt to stay positive and focused, I thought I would go back to the second post I wrote on the blog and revisit the list of things that I thought I'd miss on moving to the US and Italy.
In truth, it has been a surprise how few of the items on the list really provoked a sense of longing. Maybe it's all the new experiences, or the substitutes that have been able to fit the bill (White Rock Lake in Dallas is no hikerun in the bushland, but it's a very pleasant ride). And given the heavy workload for the last year and a half, there hasn't been the time to miss things like TV and film, because there hasn't been the time to watch TV and film to begin with.
Still, there's a few things I definitely miss:
- Combination Laksa (or any Laksa for that matter, the concept remains relatively unknown in the Western world)
- Bundaberg Ginger Beer (especially with the cold weather)
- Cheap art supplies (even if I had time to paint I couldn't afford the canvas)
- Singing lessons (and the presence of the feline Prince Nikolai)
That's a surprisingly short list. But there have been a couple of things that weren't on the list that only after being away I have realised that I missed, and am looking forward to enjoying in a month:
- Custard Tarts (Australian ones, not Portuguese ones. I had a massive craving for one last week, for the taste of the grated nutmeg and the texture of the filling)
- Meat Pies (Not even the fancy ones at the bakeries in Alexandra with their kangaroo and rabbit and Guinness, just your straight up, dirt cheap, try-and-guess-the-animals-used-in-it meat pie. And sauce, naturally)
- Fresh Air (Milan is one of the most polluted cities in Europe, sometimes I wonder if people here smoke just to breathe air that's been through a filter)
- Birdlife (Pigeons don't count)
- Vegemite (Technically I can get it here, but at €9 (AUD13) for a tiny jar, it's not worth it)
Again, it's a surprisingly short list. And before you ask, of course I miss my family and friends, that's a given.
Don't get me wrong, I don't regret the decision to have gone on this adventure. Even though it has been very tough at times, and at the moment things are not going the best, I know I am in a better position that where I was, and in six months time when I graduate, I'll be in an even better position. All I'm saying is that it'll be good to be back in Australia soon, even if it's only for a short time.
Postscript: Regarding the last part of my original post… I still don't miss Canbrrr, APS Culture, or Mooseheads in the slightest. If anything, I'm glad they're out of my life. That's a positive thought.

Development 101: Developing External Relations
**ADVANCE is pleased to offer a Mentoring-for-Leadership Lunch on the topic of "Development 101: Developing External Relations" with *Judy Mahoney*. Judy is the Assistant Dean for Advancement, College of Engineering, UW.
Judy will discuss a framework, tips, and suggestions for developing relationships with donors and external supporters for faculty, chairs and deans.
Judy is the winner of the 2008 David B. Thorud Leadership Award. In the eight years she has been at the UW, she has built an outreach team from scratch. The college had just four staff members devoted to outreach when she arrived. Today Judy supervises a staff of more than 20 in a wide range of programs that include alumni development, fundraising, corporate relations, marketing and communications as well as stewardship and events. She's overseen two major building projects and tenaciously pursued the goal of raising over $250 million for the College of Engineering -- all while keeping a sense of fun.
Judy earned a degree in finance and a MBA. She spent nine years in the Seattle investment banking industry before changing her career to helping academia. Judy says she's motivated by a desire to help students, and particularly to help women and underrepresented minorities succeed in science, engineering and mathematics. The Students First need-based scholarships help achieve that goal. Under Mahoney's direction Engineering has gained the largest number of Student First pledges of any school or college at the UW.

Recently, Covenant's Year 12 French Beginners students met to practise their French Speaking skills in preparation for their HSC Speaking Exam on Saturday, 7th September. The students were examined by two teachers, Mrs O'Sullivan and myself, three French-speaking parents and one past French student, who conducted 5-minute interviews with each student in French. It was a really productive and enjoyable afternoon, with a delicious afternoon tea and great conversation in French. Our students have worked hard to develop their French speaking skills and we are very proud of their efforts.
I would like to thank our wonderful francophone parents, Patrick Lebourdais, Elisabeth Murray, Tess Osborne and former student, Eleanor Murray who made the afternoon a great success.
Toby Jones, who left Covie last year and is planning to teach French and Spanish to high school students, intended to join us but was sick on the day.
Flavienne Higgs has also been coming to school every week over the last two years to practise French Speaking skills with our students. Un grand merci, Flavienne. We will all miss you very much. A big thank-you also to Mrs O'Sullivan for preparing the afternoon-tea and acting as an examiner.
What an amazing team of teachers, parents, students and former students working together to achieve their best to serve and glorify God!
Linda Pearce
French Teacher

Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
Change is coming at us with the greatest velocity in human history.
In the several seconds it took you to read that sentence, an algorithm executed 1,000 stock trades. Computers at the credit card network Visa processed over 3 million transactions, no doubt a few of them providing payment for the 17 packages that robots helped pack and ship from Amazon warehouses.
Right now, 56,000 Google searches are returning tens of billions of results links.
Technology is accelerating the pace of business at unthinkable speeds, so much so that the job you have today is changing as quickly as you read this page.
Simultaneously, workplaces are trending towards flatter structures with diverse teams being the predominant format for delivering value to organisations and their stakeholders.
If we can barely imagine one second's worth of digital deluge and keep pace with the external forces shaping our human capital, how will we get our heads around a stunningly different future of work?
Top 100 Futurist and LinkedIn Voice for 2017 Heather McGowan will be in Australia in December 2018 courtesy of Swinburne University to launch the ground breaking Centre for the New Workforce.
At this breakfast event, Heather will unpack the drivers behind the changes we face and share her unique insights into how work will be transformed and how leaders can prepare their organisations to thrive in the 4th Industrial Revolution. You can watch a sample of Heather's presentations here.
Who Will Get Value from Attending this Event?
If you plan to participate in the workforce of tomorrow and lead an organisation or team into that future this session is worth an early morning start.
In this session you will learn:
The key drivers of change and what is next
Imperatives for strategic advantage
The productivity pay off for investing in human capital development in the skills required to compete and win in the 4th Industrial Revolution
The Future of Work is Human
Donna Eiby, Creative Director and Head of Faculty : Future Work Skills Academy, scaffolds Heather's macro perspective to the micro lens of the Future of Work. Donna's presentation delivers the world's latest research on the impact of the 4th Industrial Revolution on jobs, skills within jobs and the associated potential and risks with human capital strategy into 2020 and beyond.
Master of Ceremonies - Dr Vishaal Kishore
Professor - Innovation & Public Policy at RMIT University and CSO/Deputy CEO at the Actuator: Australia's National MedTech Catalyst.
Vishaal brings to the MC role a deep understanding of Australia's exposures and opportunities in the Fourth Industrial Revolution through his experience in innovation and DeepTech commercialisation; as a senior executive in the Victorian public service; director for government strategy within EY's consulting practice; a senior associate and solicitor at Freehills and Mallesons Stephen Jaques; and an Associate to the Honourable Justice Gray of the Federal Court of Australia.
Combined with his industry track record, his academic, research and teaching fellowships at Harvard University and Brown University in the United States, and the University of Melbourne and Monash University in Australia uniquely combine to ensure this event will deliver value to delegates from academia and industry alike.

I love a good chicken parm but avoid ordering it at restaurants as it is usually breaded too thick and deep fried. My friend said this chicken parm tastes better than Carbone which was a major compliment! There are so many different chicken parmesan recipes, but this is definitely one that won't sabotage your waist line! Serve it with zucchini noodles instead of pasta and you have the perfect, comforting meal.
Chicken Parmesan Over Zoodles
Serves 4
- 2 chicken breasts, butterflied
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp ghee
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tbsp basil, chopped
- 1/2 pack Miyoko's vegan mozzarella (regular cheese can be used too)
- cooking spray
- 4 zucchini, spiralized
- chopped fresh parsley
- chili flakes
- STEP 1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
- STEP 2. Butterfly the chicken and season with salt and pepper on each side.
- STEP 3. Whisk one egg into a medium size bowl and set aside.
- STEP 4. In a larger bowl, combine the almond meal, oregano, paprika, and parsley.
- STEP 5. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash and then dip each side into the almond meal mix.
- STEP 6. Heat ghee in a large skillet and add the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, until golden.
- STEP 6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place chicken on top.
- STEP 7. Heat marina sauce and add basil. Cook on stove for 5 minutes on low heat. Top each chicken breast with a tablespoon of marinara sauce. Spread out the cheese evenly and place in the oven for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- STEP 8. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, and sauté zucchini noodles. Plate the zucchini noodles and top with leftover marinara sauce and chicken breast. Sprinkle with parsley and chili flakes.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a draft of its Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) on Salmonella in the Federal Register.
CPG provides directions to FDA staff, defining enforcement and compliance policies regarding Salmonella contamination in petfood and animal feed. In the guide, FDA deemed Salmonella in petfood to be "adulterated," because it is handled in the home and can be pathogenic to those handling it. For feed, only those feeds containing pathogenic Salmonellae for animals are considered adulterants.
FDA offers a 90-day comment period on this CPG draft, which is being distributed only for comment purposes.

Since Thursday literally our household has been sick.
First it was one person for two full days.
Then Friday night I felt something arrive...
Then Friday night I felt something arrive...
...and Saturday it was me. All day long.
Then Saturday night and Sunday...and today...it's pretty much the rest.
However, we are young and we can handle this.
It's just no fun.
So, needless to say this weekend has been a lazy one.
So, needless to say this weekend has been a lazy one.
A lazy weekend with lots of fluids, lots of sneezing, and extreme coughing, and well, yes, running to the bathroom too. YAY. You are welcome for the visual. :)
Let's hope this flu/cold/nerve-wrecking-whatever-we-have goes away soon.
One more week until school starts again...ugh, gotta make the most of it...fast!!
How was your Monday?
Hope it's been better than my coughing Golden Globes' Monday (yes, I watched it again today...less blurry eyed and red nosed).
Linking up with Monday Morning Gossip!

About Us
EZ Digital Cards are unique, and they are powerful!
I was sitting with a friend recently who had just paid $3,000 for a "phone app" which had her contact information and a single 90-second professional video. She was so proud, and justifiably so! The designer had done a good job, but it was simple, and static. It only had the contact information and the video, and nothing can be changed until she paid him more money.
Welcome to the NEW AMAZING WORLD of EZ Digital Cards, where you can create and manage your own cards! For a tenth of the price that my friend paid, you can own the rights to software that will bring your business or enterprise into the 21st century of digital marketing, turn heads of the most jaded veterans in the field, and raise your game to a new level of professionalism. Create your own content, upload photos and images, hot link to websites, add videos, and then do it all again tomorrow, and PAY NO MORE! YOU are in control. Just use our easily-managed software to bring your business into the 21st century and update it any time you want!
Hi, I'm Greg, the founder and CEO of Town Life EZ Marketing, and it is my pleasure to bring EZ digital cards to YOU. Enjoy! Earn more money! And bless the world with your talent.
