Aldi earns less
New look: Aldi North is busy modernising stores and revamping assortments
Trying to gauge the current state of health of Germany's largest discounter is like driving with only a rear-view mirror. Aldi Süd and Aldi Nord (Aldi South & North) are divided into regional companies who report their figures individually and in a leisurely manner. Thus, despite their vast total size, the company skilfully delays unwanted financial scrutiny. So every year a retrospective view has to be pieced together. At least, however, we can now update Germany's fifth-largest food retailer to the end of 2011.Aldi Süd boosted 2011 revenues by 4.4 per cent to a record €13bn, while sibling Aldi Nord grew only 0.3 per cent to €10bn. Meanwhile, both companies got fewer bangs for their buck.

German consumers won't drive-in
Thank God, a customer: Most German drive-ins need more frequency to make a profit
Germans make good cars and like to drive 'em fast. They are also big spenders when it comes to consumer electronics. They love their mobile phones, pads and laptops — almost as much as their cars. But your average hard-working Hans or Lieselotte Schmidt doesn't seem nearly so keen on click & collect pick-up points (drive-ins). Dedicated collection points for customer online orders didn't appear at German food stores until November 2010 and there are still only around 40 of them: Edeka runs the most with 23, followed by Rewe (13), real,- (2) and Globus (2). Customer frequency is generally low with focus groups and blogs criticising limited ranges and confusing websites. So why don't Germans shop when they beep?

Retail experts predict 2013 and beyond
Through the glass darkly: Trade gurus scan the future horizon
Who can look into the seeds of time and say which one will grow? Answer: no one; so it is best to take an educated guess. At the end of each year (cf. 2012 & 2011), we ask international retailing & fmcg experts for their take on the future of the trade. Pundits from banking and private equity to design and advertising were invited to answer the question: "What do you see as the most exciting development in retailing/the fmcg industry and the most important challenge for the future?" As their intriguing and sometimes unorthodox predictions are self-explanatory, we give them below without further commentary and in alphabetical order of surname.

German retail winners & losers in 2012
Glance in the rear mirror: A retrospective view of German retailing in 2012
Lebensmittel Zeitung closes each year with a review of the most important news stories of the last twelve months in the German trade. However, this does represent a pretty substantial Yule-tide read. Also, it would be a shame to take our English-speaking readers away from their healthy Christmas pudding, beautifully behaved children, and delightful in-laws. Therefore, German Retail Blog summarises and interprets the most compelling events of 2012 so that our readers have more time to devote themselves to the joys of the festive season. The year began with a big surprise. Schlecker, hitherto Germany's and Europe's largest drugstore operator by sales, was obliged to file for insolvency. Few ever loved the business model of founder Anton Schlecker, and company critics were legion. However, the sheer speed of the final fall from grace was nothing less than breathtaking. But it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. Like the year before, 2012 held rich rewards for insolvency administrators.

Diageo's Customer Collaboration Centre
Virtual reality: A high-tech way to optimise shelf merchandising and sales promotion displays
On an uninspiring industrial estate in a nondescript western suburb of London stands an unpretentious building without a name. Who would have thought that this edifice belongs to the world's largest spirits group and houses something to make even the most hard-bitten retail buyer's jaw drop? In reality, this is the Western European Customer Collaboration Centre (CCC) of Diageo, the maker of Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Baileys, Guinness, and various other high-octane refreshments. After reporting at reception, visitors access the main complex via a long corridor. The walls are punctuated with illuminated display boxes illustrating convivial occasions in the life of the average consumer. These are entitled "Casual Get Together", "Party Time" etc. but, surprisingly, don't contain any branding.

Poker for Netto Stavenhagen
Discounter with Scottie dog: Netto Supermarked makes good money in Germany
Edeka Group's supervisory board meets on Friday, December 14, to decide the fate of its 25 per cent stake in Danish discounter Netto Stavenhagen. The top brass at Germany's largest food retailer are also likely to review its buying cooperation with the Dansk Supermarked subsidiary. Both parties refuse to confirm this story. However, Lebensmittel Zeitung believes that Edeka wants to sell its minority holding in Netto Stavenhagen and to let the joint-buying agreement expire at a still unspecified date. Apparently, Edeka and Dansk Supermarked have not been able to agree a price. The original stake was transferred to Edeka for an alleged sum of €60m in 2005, when French retailer ITM (Intermarché) exited Germany. Why is this happening and why now?

Lidl hits the debt brake
Klaus Gehrig: The Schwarz Group frontman wants to put a lid on Lidl's indebtedness
The Swabians are canny people when it comes to money and have been justly compared to the Scots. Hard discounter Lidl wants to reduce its indebtedness to banks. This is partly a cautious reaction by parent company Schwarz Group to the current crisis in the eurozone. However, Lidl clearly also believes that future capex requirements will be lower than in former boom years. Since 2007/08 (February 29), balance sheet debt has jumped by around €2.5bn to €10.1bn (not including France) on net annual revenues of €45bn. This follows an explosion of overall indebtedness from 2002 to 2009 in the wake of aggressive foreign expansion. The vast European empire of the Neckarsulm-based group currently spans 28 countries. The entry of sometimes three new foreign markets a year required an annual capex of up to €3.5bn. Who can wonder that plans to enter new markets have now been scaled back?

Walmart, Dansk, Edeka & Netto
Object of desire: Netto runs 350 discount stores in Germany
Anonymous sources claim that US giant Walmart is in negotiations with Danish conglomerate Møller Mærsk regarding the purchase of some or all of retailer subsidiary Dansk Supermarked. If this information is correct, it would have a direct bearing on the German trade. This is because Dansk Supermarked holds a 75 per cent stake in Netto Stavenhagen, a discount store joint-venture with Edeka Group, Germany's largest food retailer. Dansk Supermarked denies these negotiations, and Møller Mærsk refuses to comment. No answer has been received from Walmart regarding our enquiry to date. So where's the beef to this story?

Auchan eyes Metro hypermarkets in E. Europe
An Auchan hypermarket in Russia: Expansion in this vast country is a global strategic priority for the French retail giant
Journalists find it frustrating to chase a story where all parties involved refuse to comment, but it does arouse their hunting instincts. Rumour has it that French retail giant Auchan has been finalising negotiations with Metro Group. The aim is said to be the purchase of the German market leader's "real,-" hypermarkets in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE). Apparently, the main stumbling block to sealing the deal for the 100-odd hypermarkets in Poland, Romania, Russia and the Ukraine are the rental contracts. The store owners are said to have tied rent levels to annual sales, which gross around €3bn for the CEE region. As Auchan is believed to be convinced that it can do a much better job than Metro at running the hypermarkets, it fears that future rental costs will explode. Given that Auchan's 120-odd hypermarkets in Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia and the Ukraine now make around €11bn in gross revenues this sounds plausible, but is it true?

Biedronka opens store number 2,000 in Poland
Pedro Pereira da Silva: Proud that Biedronka has passed another milestone
Portuguese Jerónimo Martins Group is booming in Poland. With justifiable pride, COO Pedro Pereira da Silva sent Lebensmittel Zeitung an SMS a few days ago. It was simply to say that discount subsidiary Biedronka had passed the 2,000-stores-mark and increased its market leadership. Clearly, Biedronka (Polish for ladybird) is well on the way to achieving its ambitious goal of 3,000 outlets by 2015.Given the doom and gloom at so many retailers in a growing number of European countries, it's good to hear a success story. So we asked da Silva, who is also country manager for Jerónimo Martins in Poland, to update us on progress in this important Central European country.

Everyone needs a pick me up to get themselves back into the groove for the week that's why I love Music Monday.
Music Monday's mission it to get you something good to listen to to get you motivated to finish your workout!
Today's Music Choice: Andy Grammer Lunatic
I've been regretting not keeping up with Music Mondays, I think the summer has gotten to me and all of the fun things I've been finding on Stumble Upon. BUT, this week Andy Grammer was in town so I was listening to his album all week. It sparked this choice for today.
It may be the kind of mood I'm in or that I just love a good lyric. Not so sure, but this song is motivating. For those of you training for a race or are making some big decisions lately, this song is perfect for you. Andy is a guy I found through VH1…great songs. You may know him from the song "Keep your Head Up," also a great song!
"You can do this, you can do this
You are not a lunatic
Crazy would be changing your mind"
Happy Monday!

Just a quick note to apologize for the lack of recent posts.
Our beloved elderly dog has been very ill and had to be euthanised. We have since acquired a new young puppy who requires endless amounts of attention and the incredibly joyful news of my first grandchild's arrival!
I am still caring for Elderly Relative on a daily basis and there simply are not enough hours in the day to do everything. Although I am still reading, I don't have the time or the energy to write much, and the longer I leave it, the more the read books are piling up before I can get round to saying anything about them, which makes me even more disheartened....
With all this in mind, I think for the next few months at least, I will just be posting photos of the books I have read, with maybe a few words about each, until things settle down a bit and I can get back to book reviewing in earnest.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Is there any better flooring? Housekeepers should adore it. Linoleum is durable. It's long-lasting. Cleaning is perfect! You even don't need to rinse out the cloth. Excess moisture during mopping would not damage it. However, how to clean linoleum floors with bleach? Is it safe for the surface? How long would deep cleaning take? What are the proper proportions? Let's discuss it.
Linoleum Benefits
Linoleum is a great material. It's durable, affordable and stain-resistant. The flooring is preferable for the kitchen and hallways. It's suitable for high-traffic areas. Why is it good in terms of easy cleaning? It sustains spills and stains pretty good. So, you can apply the quality vinyl floors mop on the covering.
- ground cork dust;
- pine rosin;
- wood flour;
- mineral fillers.
What gives water-resistant properties to the linoleum? Due to them, you can use the good steam mop for laminate floors on the surface without any worries. Quite naturally, it's a result of the protective layer. It is made of PVC coating. The layer also acts as a sound and heat insulator. However, there are different flooring types and their properties are not the same.
Types of Linoleum
The thickness of the top layer is decisive. It's considered to be a key linoleum use indicator. According to the research, it determines the friction factor and wear-resistance of the coating.
|Linoleum Type
|PVC Coating Thickness, in.
|0.07 and more
Domestic linoleum is designed for kitchen areas. Its top layer is commonly made of polyester foam. The flooring stands out by multi-layer structure. This type of linoleum is usually sold in rolls. Do you know, how to make vinyl floors shine? You definitely manage the linoleum cleaning.
Semi-commercial linoleum comes with a reinforced protective layer. It's installed in offices, small shops, and public areas.
Commercial floor covering is designed for warehouses, airports, hotels, etc. It can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Single-layer flooring provides the best degree of abrasion and good appearance.
How to Clean Discolored Vinyl Flooring
When it goes about vinyl, the flooring is easy to clean. It's made of PVC, synthetic, coming with a sleek surface. However, it's commonly made of planks or tiles. The seams make the material less moisture-resistant.
Water can damage the glue that provides a reliable grip. Additionally, if vinyl gets yellowish, it's difficult to clean. Cleaning floors with bleach and water can damage the surface. The safe methods include only steaming and mopping with vinegar solutions.
Can You Use Bleach on Linoleum?
It can be used in acute situations. It would be essential if you need to:
- Disinfect the floor.
- Clean pet urine.
- Whiten the surface.
The solution can be even left on the floor for up to 30 minutes. Wet linoleum is not a problem. Quite naturally, the coat of the solution is to be thin. Standing water can damage the surface. However, be careful only with the areas around the edges of the kitchen. Moisture should not get under the linoleum, that's all.
How much bleach should you add to a gallon of water? A ¼ cup of the chemical is sufficient. So, mop the floor with the solution. Wait for a while and rinse linoleum with vinegar. However, bleach is corrosive and toxic. Don't forget to wear gloves and a protective mask.
How to Clean Linoleum Floors with Ground in Dirt?
Actually, linoleum is a durable and versatile material. If you care for it, the covering can last for up to 50 years. Just don't use harsh chemicals. The surface is shiny and beautiful.
Therefore, the best way to clean linoleum floors is green. Good methods for everyday kitchen floor cleaning are:
- vacuuming;
- sweeping;
- brooming;
- mopping.
Vacuuming the surface, select the "hard floor" setting. It won't damage the surface. The brush won't leave grooves. Place protectors on furniture legs. Low spots on linoleum are undesirable. If you prefer a broom, it is to be soft-bristled. Dirt particles are to be removed. Then mop the floor. Add some vinegar or dish soap to the water.
How to Clean Sticky Linoleum Floors?
Bleach won't help you in this case. The solution doesn't remove oil or grease. Dirt and debris can't be cleaned this way. Which detergents would be efficient? It's possible to use:
- the best linoleum floor cleaner;
- white vinegar;
- baking soda;
- mild detergent.
A ½ cup of vinegar is to be dissolved in a gallon of clean water. It disinfects the floor and makes it shine. Add some drops of lemon juice, if you like it. A pleasant smell will be in the air for some hours.
Do you know, how to clean a linoleum floor that is yellowed? Just expose it to sunlight. Use mirrors. When the coating is in shade, natural oil inside it oxidizes. Polish can be added to the flooring, as well. Anyway, prefer green cleaning methods. Avoid harsh chemicals especially if you have kids or puppy pets.
How to deep clean linoleum floors
The flooring that is scuffed and stained would look terrible. Do you use residential linoleum in the kitchen? In about 15 years some areas are scratched. They include the flooring near the sink, cooking appliance, the table. In this case, it's recommended to buy a rug to cover the imperfections or replace the linoleum completely.
How to get stains out of linoleum? Intense cleaning would require some efforts. Scrubbing is possible along the grooves and. With a good brush, you remove tough stains.
Spills of wine or coffee are removed easily from the sleek surface. Spot cleaning can become even more challenging. For example, hair dye would be difficult to eliminate. Rubbing alcohol or a powerful cleaner can be applied to the stain. If the stains are stubborn, use a steam cleaner. It removes also grime or dirt, even if it's ground-in.
Do you wonder, how to get paint off vinyl floor? If it's dried and thick already, you can scrape it off by a knife. Scratching linoleum by a knife is not recommended. Its surface is soft. It's prone to micro-scratches.
Overall Impression
Have you read the article? You must have already got the best thing to clean linoleum floors. Quite naturally, it's green. Clean water works well in multiple situations. Mild cleaners can be added for deep cleaner. If the stains still remain, use a steam mop. The method is safe and healthy. Additionally, it's efficient. So, your kitchen flooring is always clean and shiny.

When I was growing up, my father had a phrase he would say when I was preparing to go on a trip or away from home for any amount of time. He would look at me and say, "You know what's right. Do it." My mother would ask if I had enough toiletries and then if I had enough clothes. I always assumed the order of her questioning was if I had to run around naked, at least I could be clean. However, my father's advice was applied regardless of cleanliness. No lists of "Call us", "Don't spend all your money on something stupid", "Don't go anywhere with strangers", but "You know what's right. Do it."
I thought about that phrase this week in a scary situation. There were no moral choices to be made, but more some quick decisions. My brother David and I were walking my dog down by Eagle River when we spotted a cow moose, which (as it turns out) had a very young calf. She charged at us on the trail and we went leaping into the woods, just like you're supposed to. Well, David and the dog went leaping into the woods. I waddled quickly into a little stand of trees. Over the next 30 minutes, we slowly made our way back to the car, stopping, calling out, listening and discussing other options. We wanted to be out of the situation, but we also knew the moose was not enjoying herself.
Once we finally got back to the car without incident and then got home and debriefed the situation, David and I both settled down for the worst night's sleep we've both had in a while. It was one of those nights where you wake up, sweating, thinking about what could have happened. As I lay awake on Friday morning, in the few hours of darkness, I thought about how automatically we had reacted. We didn't debate the situation or the nuances of different options. As we started to make noise and the moose started for us, we immediately moved into the trees. We knew the right thing to do and we did it.
As we saw her go up the trail, pushing the calf in front of her, we knew to move slowly and not crowd them and to give plenty of indication of where we were and to keep our eyes peeled for where they might have gone. We knew the right thing to do and we did it. Granted David and I have been in some wild and hairy situations before (and I do mean wild and hairy), but to a certain extent- you just know what to do in the majority of them- what your options are, what your capabilities are and what you can do in the situation with what you have.
This applies to today's gospel lesson in two ways. The first is that we, as Christians, often spend a lot of time agonizing over what the right thing is in a given situation. The second is that we don't often act on what we definitely know to be the right thing to do. Why in our walk of faith do we so often feel paralyzed by indecision?
Jesus tells the disciples in today's passage, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you." So what is the right thing to do? (Love one another as Christ has loved us)
Why does this matter? In the gospel according to John, this is the last command that Jesus gives his disciples before the trial and crucifixion. In the days between what seemed like the end and the new beginning in the resurrection, Jesus knows the disciples are going to point fingers at one another, bicker and blame. He is reminding them, urging them, encouraging them not to do this, but to hold one another in love. To remember the truth and to remember Him as their friend and in that remembering to love one another.
Through John, today, Jesus reminds us that He is our friend and that what was right for the disciples is the same thing that is the right thing for us to do. And we're called to make it so automatic in our lives that we don't stop to think about, but that we find ourselves leaping into the woods, leaping toward one another, hurrying to repair breaches, to show justice and mercy- to do what is right in a way that we are surprised later at how it happened.
But, Pastor Julia, don't you always tell us that we can't do what is right. That our best efforts are still weak and we cannot save ourselves. You're right. I do say that. You can't do what is right.
When we stop there, we are sitting at the foot of the cross, singing "What a Friend We have in Jesus" and that's all that happens. When we stop with "Well, I can't be perfect, so I won't do anything"- nothing gets done. No one is fed, no one is visited, no one is healed, nothing is built and, essentially, we negate the whole purpose of the cross.
Jesus is our friend, our confidant, our supporter, our God-with-us because we've been told what to do. Further instruction is not necessary. We have enough to do to keep ourselves busy, and, theoretically, out of trouble. Has anyone here ever reached the end of day and said, "I've loved everyone I could today. Good night."
We need a friend who listens to our venting, our supplications, our charges, our needs, our hopes and our dreams. We need a friend who responds to those with love and compassion, a friend who walks with us. In Jesus, we have this friend, one who laid down his life for us on the cross, so that we might have life.
That friendship calls to us- in our waking and in our dreaming. That friendship binds us together. That friendship goads us and comforts us. That friendship sees where we fall short and makes up the difference in our lives and in the world around us. We are cleansed and clothed in the righteousness of Christ, according to Paul, and therefore we are not called to be concerned with those details.
Knowing this, we are called to be friends in the same way to one another and to all those whom God loves. In this world, there are daily people being charged by loneliness, oppression, fear, doubt, anger, hurt and so many other forces. You aren't called to help them alone. Your friend goes with you- on the trail, in the wilderness, in the city, in your home. And, yes, things can get wild and hairy- but we're never left without help.
Jesus gives us the Spirit to guide us; even we don't know what we're doing. God has given us the Bible so that we have a guidebook with some directions. And we are bound together, through the ties of faith, so that we can help one another.
Even as Jesus is speaking to the disciples, he knows what they are going to do in the days ahead, but he wants to remind them that there is a better way, a way to which he is calling them, a way to which we are called.
As I abide in you and you in me, Jesus says, this is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. You know what's right. Do it.

Introducing Marta Taylor – Female Biohacker
Marta Taylor (aka 'mt'), founder of Living Limitlessly, is a female biohacker and business woman with over 20 years of experience in the corporate world as a learning & development specialist, project manager and change manager. Marta is passionate about inspiring people to take charge of their own health & wellness and focussing on biohacking for women (in a man's world).
Through Marta's own experimentation & experiences she provides information, techniques and inspiration to taking control of and improve your health, mind & spirit for living limitlessly.
Marta has always been interested in health, wellness & spirituality – in fact she has been biohacking since 1996 (before the term 'biohacking' even existed!). Recently, in 2009 she began experiencing excruciating migraines and after a couple of years of no answers or any relief from doctors, she decided to take matters into her own hands & began 'hacking' her migraines to a point where they were less frequent, severe and shorter in duration…but something still wasn't right. The migraines were not a 'root cause'. After more investigating & digging, she realised she had 'leaky gut' syndrome. The investigation continues & she will keep you posted as she works it all out in the hope of inspiring people to take the driver's seat in relation to their own health.
Inspired by people like Tim Ferriss, Dave Asprey & Ben Greenfield, Marta has learnt a lot from these influential biohackers. Although, out in the 'interweb' Marta found that there was a missing link – the tweaking that's specifically necessary when biohacking for women – women have totally different bodies & needs to men.

As doping continues to be exposed all around the world, it is showing no signs of slowing up.
"As for the errors I make, the only punishment I acknowledge for having made them is my awareness of those errors, and having to live with it: there is, there should be, no heavier penalty on a person's soul, mind and heart."
The words of Lebanese poet Jouma Haddad, are words that can be applied to everyday life and mistakes that we all make. The quote refers deeply to the punishment of guilt, and how a mistake is self-punished through emotion, and alternatively how it can act as a mental deterrent.
Sometimes however, the feeling of guilt is not explicitly evident, as described by psychologist Sigmund Freud. "Unconscious sense of guilt can turn people into criminals."
When psychology is fused with crime, the level of crime can be assumed as physical, however, on the subject of recurring crimes in sport, the severity can differ. The crime of doping in sport is somewhat overlooked, overlooked in the way that the perpetrator has the capacity to dope multiple times. The common punishment for doping is a suspension, resulting in the athlete returning to the track later in life. The aim of a punishment is to reform with the expectation that a crime won't be committed again, we know in sport, particularly athletics, this isn't the case.
Russia as a collective nation has been shunned upon due to the unforgivable actions of a vast number of athletes' participation in taking performance enhancing drugs. 111 Russian athletes were dismissed from participating in Rio at the 2016 Olympics, and Russia was banned entirely from competing in the Athletics disciplines. It was a huge wake up call for those within the sport at all levels to fully understand the damage and potential circumstances of cheating with drugs. Russia were recently reinstated of their Olympic ban.
The decision fuelled conflict however, as 2 Russian participators at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics were called out for doping – a lesson not wholeheartedly learnt.
Despite Russia's lack of cohesion in competing clean, they aren't the only nation to have been in the spotlight for doping. In 2013, Esri UK released an image showing the world's biggest culprits of doping (image presented above). The results were shocking, and highlighted the realisation that doping is a widespread, serious issue for amateur and professional sport. Evidence collected by a BBC State of Sport investigation found that 49% of amateur sports people revealed their thoughts that performance enhancing drugs were easily available. A shocking and slightly terrifying statistic. The issue is everywhere, however in track and field, far west from Russia, the United States are not out of the limelight when it comes to doping. American athlete Justin Gatlin riled up spectators and competitors when he won the World Championships 100m last year. Gatlin has served two suspensions away from competing on track for two separate occasions of doping. The American has been side-lined for a total of 8 years of his career due to doping, hence the uproar following his win last year on the world stage.
Many questions have been raised surrounding Gatlin, and many others, the majority being why he is allowed to compete. The answer to these questions is of course that he has served his time and has had to face the repercussions of being caught doping with the judgement of the public eye. The questions should really focus upon how the issue of doping is tackled, as evident, the issue has adopted a recurring nature, which only sparks fear in the sport as suspicion is at its highest.
The future looks worrying for athletes, primarily for clean athletes who now not only face the physical and emotional strain of competing at a high level, but also competing against a colony of 'super-human' substance fuelled athletes. There have been numerous reports stating that athletes that choose to dope can provide a clear doping test – a disturbing prospect. Sport is a celebration of talent and teamwork, and at high level, an opportunity to put the world's most elite on a pedestal to commend their hard work and innate ability, morals and practices that could be jeopardised should the issue of doping escalate.
The prospect of doping in sport has been evident for thousands of years, dating back to the earliest Olympic Games – estimated to have taken place at 776BC. It was speculated through study that Greeks would drink potions, take opium, hallucinogens and engage in practices such as game-fixing to their advantage. When considering the roots of sport, the ancient Greek Olympics set the bar for mega sporting events, birthing the Games as the spectacle it is today.
It's in the history and roots of the Olympics to partake in doping, and despite efforts to keep sports clean, it's proving to be a never-ending uphill battle to combat. There is suspicion surrounding the games, especially when revising the bans given to respective athletes.
Despite doping numerous times, Justin Gatlin has been cleared to compete, however British athlete Dwain Chambers was caught doping in 2003 and handed an immediate lifetime Olympic ban. Questions surround how some doping crime associated with certain athletes is swept under the rug, perhaps to stimulate competition and retain the drama, especially on the track.
Jamaican favourite Yohan Blake was banned for 3 months for testing positive for stimulants, a story that gained little media attention in comparison to his stature in the sport. Blake is an essential member of the world record holding Jamaican 4x100m relay team and the training partner of Usain Bolt, there's little surprise that his ban was kept relatively behind closed doors. Bolt, and the Jamaican relay team were widely celebrated and loved all over the globe, mainly for their clean track record and of course their mesmerising talent. It would be a huge upset to athletics in general should any of the team get caught doping, a suspected reason as to why spirit dampening bans such as Blake's are quietened.
Russia are taking the brunt for their doping activities, which is fair due to the magnitude to the doping. It is however, becoming a slight epidemic that nations turn a blind eye to their own issues in cheating, especially as Russia are currently taking up the entire lens of the doping microscope.
The future of sport is forecast a doping crisis, as technology improves, and camps are finding ways to dope without evidence. The presence of spontaneous drug tests was thought to have added some intimidation to athletes and their teams, but such methods cannot work forever. The future of fair games is up in the air, only time will tell if improvements can be made to reduce and abolish cheating behaviours in sport.

In July the Food and Drug Administration asked the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue a criminal investigation to determine whether San Diego-based Metabolife International, Inc., a leading seller of products containing ephedrine in combination with caffeine, made false statements to the FDA regarding the existence of adverse event reports. The FDA claims Metabolife has refused and resisted FDA's efforts, including unsuccessful litigation, to get the reports. The agency itself has collected reports of over 100 deaths associated with ephedrine products marketed as "dietary supplements."
In a letter dated August 15th to Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, Sidney Wolfe, MD, director of the Public Health Research Group wrote that in April 1998 Michael Ellis who was then president of Metabolife responded to a call from the FDA for comments concerning the abuse potential, actual abuse, medical usefulness, and trafficking of ephedrine. According to Wolfe, Ellis wrote in his letter that "Metabolife has never received one notice from a consumer that any serious adverse health event has occurred because of the ingestion of Metabolife 356" and "consequently, since there had been no serious adverse reports [AERs] of any sort, there had been no such reports of overuse or abuse of the product."
In a letter dated August 15th to Secretary Thompson, Metabolife President David Brown denied that Michael Ellis knowingly or willfully made any false statement to the FDA. The letter claims that Metabolife is releasing files to the Secretary that "do not in any way demonstrate that ephedra is unsafe or poses any health problems." The letter mentions that between early 1997 and September 2001 it received 400,000 calls to a toll-free number that appears on the Metabolife 356 label "primarily for the purpose of assisting customers with weight control questions and to help consumers properly use the product," that 13,000 of the calls "reported certain health-related issues" and that approximately 80 "even mention the primary categories of potential concern that FDA has identified (i.e. seizure, heart attack, stroke, death)." Brown's letter also calls for stricter regulation of the ephedra products industry.
According to an Associated Press article, an attorney for Metabolife said 100 to 200 other reports deal with people who were hospitalized. The article also notes that Eugene Thirolf, a senior Justice Department official, wrote the FDA that court records from private lawsuits against Metabolife suggest the company had received reports of serious illnesses among ephedra users before Ellis's April 1998 comment to the FDA. [Criminal investigation sought for diet supplement seller. USAToday.com 10/15/02.]
Two years ago, after receiving three separate donations totaling $150,000 that he solicited from Metabolife, Gov. Gray Davis of California vetoed legislation that had already been weakened by lobbying from the supplement industry that would have required a warning label on products like Metabolife 356. He stated that such products in interstate commerce should be regulated instead by the federal government. But in 1997 when Pete Wilson was California governor, the Department of Health Services placed warnings on a dieters' tea product after it was linked to 11 deaths and 67 illnesses nationwide. And under Davis, California's Department of Health Services issued a public warning about an herbal prostate remedy and persuaded the manufacturer to recall it. In July Davis signed legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles, the first state legislation of its type. In August, following the announcement of the federal investigation of Metabolife, Davis said that he would sign legislation that would ban the sale of ephedrine products to minors. [Morain D. Despite warnings, Davis took no action against Metabolife. Los Angeles Times 8/17/02, p. A1, A20.]
In August, Bill Simon, the Republican who was running for Governor against Davis, acknowledged that he accepted a contribution of $10,000 from Metabolife Chairman W. R. Bradley. He also accused Davis of "putting people's health and lives at risk" by vetoing the legislation that would have put warning labels on Metabolife products. Simon was quoted: "I am not for sale. Unlike Gray Davis, I can't be bought." [The skinny: Simon took diet-drug funds. AP 10/20/02.]
In November, Davis was re-elected as California Governor.
Dutch conglomerate and specialty foods company Royal Numico announced that it will sell Rexall Sundown, the largest supplier of vitamins and supplements to Wal-Mart stores. Numico blamed Rexall Sundown, which it acquired in 2000 for $1.8 billion, and GNC, the supplement retail operation it acquired in 1999, for the conglomerate's $1.45 billion third-quarter loss. Palm Beach Post staff writer Phil Galewitz reported (Nov. 12) that analysts estimate that the company, whose brands include Met-Rx, CarbSolutions, and Sundown Vitamins and Herbs, will sell for between $200 million and $400 million.
In July 2000 FTC charged Rexall Sundown with making false and unsubstantiated claims for its Cellasene product as a purported cellulite treatment. In March 2002 a Camden County jury returned a verdict in favor of New Jersey consumers in a class-action that alleged Rexall Sundown had marketed and labeled its Calcium '900' and Calcium 1200 products in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.
The promoters of a massive 900-number, pay-per-call scheme known as the "Miss Cleo" psychic hotline have agreed to a stipulated court order requiring them to forgive an estimated $500 million in uncollected bills; return to consumers all uncashed checks; cease all pay-per-call activity; investigate and resolve promptly any consumer complaint they receive; and pay the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) $5 million. The agreement settles charges from the FTC that Access Resource Services, Inc. (ARS) and Psychic Readers Network, Inc. (PRN) and their officers Steven L. Feder and Peter Stolz:
Cold reading is the technique used by people who claim to be psychic to convince others that they have abilities such as communicating with the dead. It involves making vague statements such as common names, ailments, and life events. People seeking assistance have opportunities to make connections to the statements and give information to the psychic without realizing it. High Nielsen ratings of nationally syndicated television programs Beyond With James Van Praagh and Crossing Over With John Edward, which claim to show communications with the dead, depend on audiences who are ignorant about cold reading.
On Halloween the ABC Primetime Thursday television program demonstrated how cold reading works. It recruited an audience of twenty volunteers who were open to the possibility of communicating with the dead to judge a test of the psychic abilities of Ian Rowland (who actually teaches around the world about cold reading). Rowland provided readings that were convincing to the studio audience. At the end of his performance he revealed that he himself does not believe he has psychic abilities. Nevertheless his confession did not change the beliefs of some audience members that his readings were meaningful communications with the dead. The ABC News Web site has a report about the broadcast.
In a paper presented at the 1961 American Psychological Association convention, Martin T. Orne of Harvard Medical School discussed how demand characteristics influence subjects' behavior in psychology experiments. Demand characteristics are all the cues that subjects receive about the hypotheses to be tested. It is important to control for such cues because subjects often try to perform in ways that validate researchers' hypotheses. Orne also attributed some people's reactions to hypnosis and sensory deprivation to demand characteristics.
Orne's paper is reprinted in the October 18, 2002 issue of the online journal Prevention & Treatment. (See http://journals.apap.org/prevention/volume5/toc-oct18-02.html) along with nine commentary papers and an introduction. In one commentary, "Demand Characteristics and the Development of Dual, False Belief Systems," NCAHF board member Loren Pankratz, PhD discusses the influence of demand characteristics outside of experiments. For example, he argues that when people claim to offer psychic readings, the responses of their subjects encourage false beliefs in the reader which are in turn passed back to create false beliefs in the subject. Dr. Pankratz discusses the tendency of clients to selectively recall correct "psychic" responses (i.e., hits), which provide an emotional wallop, and fail to recall incorrect "psychic" responses (i.e., misses). He also suggests that demand characteristics influence the development of false beliefs of so-called recovered memory therapists and their patients.
Comment: Demand characteristics may help to elicit enthusiastic testimonials by patients and providers for a variety of nostrums and irrational health services.
A woman who claims to provide naturopathic treatment out of her home in Van Nuys, California and her assistant were charged on October 30th with involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license in connection with the death of a man who went to them for treatment of a rash, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office announced. Reina Isabel Chavarria, 48, and Margarita Montes, 28, were each charged with one count of unauthorized practice of medicine with the allegation that the victim suffered great bodily injury, and one count of involuntary manslaughter. (Naturopaths are not licensed in California.) If convicted, each could be sentenced to a maximum of nine years in state prison.
According to Los Angeles police, Roberto Alonso Caceres, 54, began convulsing after being administered an injection at Chavarria's home. A friend of Chavarria's flagged down Van Nuys area officers and directed the officers to Caceres's location. Police discovered that he was unresponsive. A rescue ambulance was summoned. Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedics arrived and transported Caceres to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities said Caceres had sought treatment from Chavarria for a rash.
The Los Angeles Times provided details about the story [10/30 latimes.com; 10/31, p. B3]. According to Caceres's son, medical doctors couldn't seem to cure the rash, which caused him to miss so much work as a handyman that his employer threatened to fire him. Caceres heard about Chavarria from a popular morning show on a Spanish-language radio station and traveled from his home in Santa Ana for her treatment. Police said that the first time Caceres sought Chavarria's treatment, he paid $310 and was given ointments and pills, which did not cure the rash. He received two injections costing $140 on a return visit. Montes told Caceres and his wife that the first injection was vitamin B12. Caceres looked nervous and Montes offered the second injection of an unknown substance. When Caceres became ill, Chavarria and Montes refused to call for emergency help and forced Caceres and his family out of the house. The prosecutor is waiting for the results of toxicological tests to determine the cause of death.
The Times described the yard of Chavarria's home as containing statues of the Virgin Mary, Jesus, and angels. Investigators said they found in the "treatment room" candles, religious figurines, and what appeared to be a shrine of voodoo dolls, with likenesses of saints and the Virgin Mary. A dog slept on the table where injections were given.
Detectives called for the public's help in locating other possible victims and additional information about the defendants.
The Washington Poison Center in Seattle reported five cases of argyria that came to its attention within a two-month period. This condition, in which silver accumulates in the skin, is characterized by a permanent gray-blue skin discoloration. The cases included a 66-year old woman and her husband who used a naturopathic hydrolyzed silver treatment for three years and a 37-year old male who drank an herbal tea containing silver for some ten months.
Another husband and wife sought help two years previously for chronic symptoms from a naturopath, who recommended various dietary supplements including one that contained a silver preparation. Most of their symptoms continued as before except they developed a bluish-gray discoloration of their faces and hands.

Montana Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate Stan Jones, 63, developed argyria according to the Associated Press [abcnews.go.com 10/3/02]. Jones reportedly started taking colloidal silver in 1999 because he feared Y2K disruptions might lead to a shortage of antibiotics. He said his skin began to turn blue-gray about a year ago and that he no longer takes the product, which he made for himself.
Wal-Mart, one of the largest employers in the United States, announced that it will drop chiropractic coverage from its employee benefit plan. The American Chiropractic Association, which greatly exaggerates what chiropractors can do and which protects the interests of chiropractors who practice pseudoscientific healthcare, is encouraging its members to complain to: H. Scott Lee, President, CEO, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 702 SW 8th Street, Bentonville, AR 72716. NCAHF has sent President Scott congratulations.
Jessica Crank, 15, died of a rare bone cancer on September 15, four months after her mother Jacqueline Crank decided to rely on Jesus instead of following advice from workers at a Lenoir City, Tennessee clinic to take her to the emergency room of the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. Jessica reportedly had a basketball-sized tumor on her shoulder. Jacqueline was arrested by Lenoir City Police in June. She and preacher Ariel Ben Sherman, identified as Jessica's "spiritual father," have been charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect charges and may face murder charges. An attempted resurrection of Jessica at her September 18th funeral by Sherman and members of his New Life Ministries was unsuccessful. Attorneys for Sherman and Jacqueline Crank claimed that Jessica supported the decision not to be taken to the doctor. In 1984 Sherman was charged in Oregon with five counts of child abuse and convicted of criminal mistreatment. [Schabner D. No cure for cancer. ABC News.com10/3/02.]
No consistent associations between psychological coping styles and cancer outcomes were found in a systematic review of 26 prospective observational studies addressing survival from cancer and 11 studies addressing recurrence from cancer. The researchers concluded that no good evidence supported the development of psychological interventions to prolong survival. They cautioned against making people with cancer feel pressured into adopting particular coping styles to improve survival or reduce risk of cancer recurrence. [Petticrew M. Bell R, Hunter D. Influence of psychological coping on survival and recurrence in people with cancer: systematic review. BMJ 325:1066-1075;2002.]
A Stark County (Ohio) Family Court judge ruled that it did not constitute neglect for parents of a 7-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to stop his chemotherapy after three months of a 3_-year treatment plan and start him on so-called holistic treatment. Theresa and Greg Maxin have taken their son Noah to Rene Blaha, MD in Lancaster, Ohio for treatment. Dr. Blaha is board certified in family practice. He also has certification by the American Board of Holistic Medicine (ABHM), which is not approved as a specialty board by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
According to news reports, the Maxins took Noah off chemotherapy because they feared it would destroy Noah's immune system. They claim that Noah's holistic treatment is non-toxic and builds the immune system. Noah's holistic treatment is described as addressing body and mind. It includes unspecified "natural" medicines plus dietary measures, such as avoiding sugar and dairy products, and drinking lots of fluids to flush out unspecified "toxins."
Judge David Stucki ruled that it was the Maxins' right to carefully research and select an alternative treatment. He said: "These are not parents who refused medical treatment or who elected to take Noah to a witch doctor or a shaman."
However, the rationale for the treatments the Maxins selected is no more plausible than anything offered by witch doctors or shamans. No objective evidence suggests that so-called holistic methods could be any better than no medical treatment or the ministrations of shamans or witch doctors at improving the chances for children with ALL for long-term survival.
According to the National Cancer Institute:
The improvement in survival for children with ALL over the past 35 years is one of the great success stories of cancer treatment. In the 1960s, less than 5 percent of children with ALL survived for more than five years. Today, about 85 percent of children with ALL live five years or more.

Help with procedure/operation of YNAB
Long time YNAB user, upgraded to subscription model in new year, figuring out the changes and loving it...have run into a specific problem I need your help with. Can't tell where I'm doing something in error.
Everything below is during the same calendar month.
- Made several purchases with a credit card with 0 balance.
- Categorized purchases under Reimbursable.
- Reimbursable money deposited into checking account, I designated those funds directly to reimbursable category. (Alternately, tried designated as Dollars to be budgeted, then manually directed them to reimbursable category).
- Transferred exact amount from checking to credit cards to pay off credit card bills.
My budget line item for the credit card shows activity of -$340 (the original purchase amounts). It doesn't show the payment that I made from checking account. The balance of the account is correct ($0), but my budget shows overspending of $340 from the credit card line which carries over into next months' budget at the top, classified as overspending in February.
Please see attached image to see how YNAB handled the series of transactions. It seems that credit card category should show $0 under activity, not -$340...since I made purchases -$340 to credit card, but then transferred money from checking to pay it off +$340.
What am I missing?!?!? Going crazy, thank you for your help!
Your steps 1-3 look good. Your step 4 I'm not clear on. The credit card payment involves two steps. Step A is actually making the payment with your bank. Step B is recording the payment in YNAB. To do that click on the credit card account in the list of accounts. Click 'record payment' at the top of the transaction list. The payee is 'payment from: checking'. Enter the amount as an inflow. Can you try that and report back?
Found this list of things YNAB does with credit cards and hope it helps. https://docs.youneedabudget.com/category/135-credit-cards-debt
I know there are many people here on the board who utilize cards the way you do. I don't. All I know is that YNAB does some nasty stuff to my budget when I over spend a category and avoid it if at all possible. I might suggest you read about overspending and payments. When making a payment to an on budget account, it's entered as a transfer, no spending.
There several differences between the way YNAB4 and nYNAB handle credit cards. You might find some good information in all the information there.
Rajl Bogoze said:
My reimbursable category had a pre-existing balance that I'm still waiting on reimbursement for.
This is your problem. By paying the CC account to $0, you paid off these charges as well. The Payment category is red because you didn't have funds available for that large of a payment.
I suggest you cover this overspending from somewhere now. When you receive money for the pre-existing reimbursements, the Reimbursement category will turn green. Use those funds to pay back the category used to fix the overspending.
I was able to recreate what you did. It's not user error, pretty sure it's a glitch.
Because the reimbursement category stated with a negative balance, the new spending isn't being recognized as credit card overspending. When the reimbursement is paid and categorized to the reimbursement category, the amount doesn't move to the credit card category line like it should. It does if the starting balance in the reimbursement category is zero, all works as it should, but it doesn't when the starting balance of the reimbursement category is negative.
To recreate I opened a new budget. Added a checking account, starting balance 1000, and a credit card account, starting balance 0. I added a reimbursement category to the true expenses category group. (1) enter -479 budgeted in the reimbursement category. (2) made the 3 credit card purchases (3) entered the reimbursement inflow - there should be a green paid amount in the credit card category at this point but there's not (3) paid the credit card. Same wonky results: -479 available in reimbursements and -340 available in the credit card category line. As to how to fix it....?

I don't think op paid the card to $0. Op just paid the $340 on the card when the reimbursement was received.
Kensington said:

The only glitch I've ever seen with YNAB CCs sometimes occurs when there are multiple CCs used within the same category with a cash inflow. I don't think that's the case here.
Stepping back, the error indication is a red CC Payment category. Like any category, this signifies you sent them more money than was reserved for that purpose. Often, the follow-on question is, "why is the Payment category short?" In this case, the answer seems to be because money for the pre-existing reimbursement has yet to be received.
To summarize:
1. You have $479 outflow on "Card D" in December against the Reimbursement category which had no funds. (Thus, yellow overspending.)
2. In Jan, you negative-budgeted the Reimbursement category because you want the Reimbusement category Available to "keep score". Reimbursement is now red. This will increase TBB, so what did you do with those funds?
3. In Feb, YNAB reduced TBB because the Jan Reimbursement is red. You negative-budgeted Reimbursement, which restored TBB to the original value (and made Reimbursement red).
4. Also in Feb, you had outflows on "Card F" totalling $340 categorized as Reimbursement, taking Reimbursement Available to -$819. This did nothing to Card F's Payment category since no funds were available to move to that card.
5. In Feb, you had an inflow in Checking for $340 categorized as Reimbursement. This did nothing to the CC Payment category because it was applied toward covering what is effectively cash overspending (resulting from the negative-budget entry).
6. In Feb, you ignored the Card F Payment category (which was $0) and sent them $340, thus incurring overspending.
Bottom line: in Step #2, you put the money that showed up in TBB somewhere. Move it from wherever that is to the Card F Payment category.
I strongly urge you to use the offset category (budget upfront) approach to reimbursements. Since you have enough money to not live "month-to-month", you should have enough to devote funds toward simplifying reimbursements (e.g., reallocate from an emergency fund). The advantage is the CC Payment categories take care of themselves.
I will note that you have another issue looming -- you don't have funds reserved to make the Card D payment. I'm assuming those December charges would have been part of the billing period that closed in Jan, with a due date in Feb.
The offset category approach to reimbursements handles all this transparently. You don't have to babysit the Reimbursement category. You have the pending amount owed at a glance. (If you've offset the category by $500, if the current Available is $400, then you are obviously owed $100. Set a goal for $500 if you want YNAB to do the math.)

The number of Queenslanders treated for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is on the rise, with cases of gonorrhoea increasing by 32 per cent in 2016.
Figures from Queensland Health showed 27,506 people were diagnosed with an STI in 2016, up 10 per cent on the previous year.
About 82 per cent of cases were for chlamydia, however experts have been surprised by a large spike in gonorrhoea.
In 2016 there were 4,006 Queenslanders diagnosed with gonorrhoea, up from 3,038 the previous year.
The bacterial disease can affect both sexes, and has the potential to cause infertility in women and harm unborn babies.
Most cases were recorded Brisbane's Metro North and Metro South reporting areas.
Patients with up to 10 sexual partners in one day
Dr Wendell Rosevear, who runs a Brisbane-based medical centre that specialises in sexual health, said a change in dating culture was likely to blame in the rise of infections.
Dr Rosevear said he "quite frequently" treated patients who had between four and 10 sexual partners a day, and those people faced significant risks if they were having unsafe sex.
"We're seeing some new dynamics where people want instant sex, via the internet, so people will have multiple partners in a day," he said.
"I think people are a bit immune to the burden of having to be safe with sex and a lot of people don't like condoms. But also there is now a sense of entitlement where people think: 'it's my right to have unsafe sex'."
Dr Rosevear said many people who contracted STIs were naive, but also said some doctors were not providing adequate treatment.
"I think quite a lot of doctors aren't aware that these epidemics exist to even test for them, screen for them or treat them," he said.
More testing done now than in the past: doctor
Cairns Sexual Health Service director Darren Russell said the results were surprising, and he hoped further data on the ages, genders, ethnicities and sexuality of patients would give an insight into the spike in cases.
"We're certainly doing more testing than we have in the past, so if we're testing more often we would expect to find more," he said.
"Having said that, we know across Australia there is an increase in chlamydia rates and we're also seeing an increase in syphilis rates in Australia too, so those increases seem to be very real."
Dr Russell said STIs sometimes did not produce symptoms and could be dangerous if left untreated.
He said the most infections occurred in the 15-30 age bracket, with higher rates occurring in gay men who live in urban areas and Indigenous people who live in rural locations.
Dr Russell said initial testing for the diseases was usually simple, requiring urine and blood samples.
In 2016, the Queensland Government committed more than $18 million for a sexual health strategy to combat the rate of rising STIs.
A draft strategy said the Government would focus on six priorities: improving community awareness, supporting older citizens, improving education for young people, responding to specific community groups, prioritising infection prevention and providing quality care to patients.

Atan American Association for Cancer Research conference in Atlanta on Sunday, March 31, 2019, CAR-T therapy was discussed as the treatment that can help the immune system fight deadly blood cancers. Discussions also covered CAR-T therapy as showing early signs that it could be used against solid tumors giving scientists the hope that this approach could be used against more common cancers.
CAR-T therapy involves genetically modifying some of a patient's own cells in order to help their body recognize and attack cancer cells. One patient, Richard Carlstrand of Long Key, Florida,gave witness to the fact that he had the CAR-T therapy treatment over a year ago for mesothelioma which is a very aggressive cancer found in the lining of the lungs.
At the time, Carlstrand said, he and his team of doctors were embarking on unknown territory in trying the CAR-T therapy, but he is happy to say that he now shows no signs of cancer. His case and others were discussed at the conference last Sunday.
Back in 2017 the first CAR-T therapies were approved for some leukemias and lymphomas. Scientists did some alterations in the lab and the modified immune system cells were returned to the patient through an IV which puts them in the blood right where the cancer is.
But researchers found that if the cells have to travel far through the bloodstream to get to tumors in the lung, breast, colon, or other places,that approach doesn't work as well.
Protein is found in both solid tumor cells as well as in normal cells at lower levels and so this presented a bigger worry that the CAR-T therapy would harm the normal cells too.
So to solve this problem, the modified cells were directly injected into the areas where the tumors were and then a genetic safety switch was added in order for medicine to be administered to destroy the cells if they possibly caused any harm.
Results in 2017 showed that disappearance of cancer cells or shrinkage occurred and only a few had their cancers worsen, but although some patients experienced temporary low blood counts and fatigue, there were no severe side effects to the CAR-T therapy treatments.
In a second study a different CAR-T therapy treatment was used in patients with advanced cancers originating in soft tissue and bones (sarcomas), the CAR-T therapy treatment was given several times and up to 15 times in one recorded case as long as there were signs that the treatment was making a difference.
These studies show promise for a path forward to treating other solid tumors with CAR-T therapy in the stomach, breast, colon, lung and other areas said Dr. Louis Weiner, who is the director of the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
However cost is the big issue at around $400,000 for a current CAR-T therapy to be done but if conducted in a research center it could done for less .

I have decided that the winter of 2013 has determined my maximum tolerance for snow, ice and arctic temperatures. Normally my fall and winter days are consumed by chasing waterfowl and upland birds (for gourmet meals and fly tying materials) but this past season, drought, followed by early freeze and a ridiculous amount of snow put a halt to those endeavors. Not only was the winter particularly long, it felt lonely – even the Canada Geese ran south this season and the skies were void of their daily calls.
I don't fly fish for salmon in the fall very often. Their arrival in Wisconsin tributaries coincides with start of duck season and, after a summer of fly fishing, I'm usually ready to trade the rod for gun and collect some flank feathers for wet flies. This season that was not an option at the duck property. Our marsh was dry, weed choked and the substrate cracked and dusty.
While being a single-father of two teen boys can be a mountain of work, it does offer a great advantage when it comes to prioritizing outdoor activities. When fish are only in a river, or ducks migrating through, for a very short time, you get while the gettin' is good – or, at least, try. Despite my disappointment about the condition of the marsh, being and adaptable outdoor addict, I grabbed my oldest son and some steelhead gear and drug him off to Wisconsin for some big fish action.
The Root River, in Racine, WI, is an urban fishery. Fisherman on the river run the gamut of skill and technique. From fly rods to cane poles (I swear), I think I have seen nearly every method of fishing, short of seine nets, employed on that river. This river is not for the elitist, faint-of-heart or mildly narcissistic fisherman who believes they can fix the world with an argument.. Simply put, it is what it is. If you are looking for pristine waters and Hemmingway adventure – this is not the river for you. If you are looking for a day of fun, in close proximity to the Chicago or Milwaukee metropolitan areas, then jump right in. The fish are there. You can find fish away from the crowds and, most importantly, they fight like fish in any other river.
Of course, the drought had it's impact on the river too. The water was low – just ankle deep in most of the riffle sections and as clear as I've seen this river flow. While the fishing conditions were hardly ideal, fish watching was at a premium. Salmon charged out of choke points on the river into the riffles – with water bulging over their backs and splashy wakes along their sides. Of course, this also made them targets for not-so-ethical hardware casters to target (cough, cough, snag).
At one point in the day my son was swinging a fly to a holding fish and caster that was walking along the bank, ran out, cast over his fish with multi-treble bait of sorts and gave a yank. He hauled it onto the shore in a flash and whipped a filet knife from its sheath. Within seconds, the fish was beheaded and bagged, before he could mumble, "it was in his mouth."
Thankfully, on most days the river clears of bodies by the afternoon and the runs are filled with fish and void of fisherman. By the end of the day, fish were caught, released and memories made. My son got his first sight of migratory fish in a river and in the viewing tank at the weir. On the drive home he talked about, "next time." What more could you ask for than a day that leaves a young man looking forward to the next time?

Custom Engagement Ring Design Process
I just love being a part of this most momentous occasion in your life. It's probably one of the most giddy-exciting, romantic things. With each custom engagement ring I create I imagine it being passed down from generation to generation.
There's a lot of pressure involved - not just for you, in between asking the parents, keeping this secret from the person in your life who knows everything there is to know about you, as well as sneaking around at night trying to get an idea of their ring size.
There is also a lot of pressure on my side; to design the perfect custom engagement ring that reflects the dreams of what you and your partner has always wanted; to execute it perfectly, and all the while keeping it a secret!
That last part is especially hard if the engagement ring is for one of my friends. But this is all part of the process, and I endeavor to make it the smoothest journey possible.
Some of you may come to me knowing exactly what you want. You might know all about the process and what you're looking for. Or you might not know a lot, let's be honest, this is a niche industry that only really gets its limelight at the most special of times. Don't worry, I'm here to help. With 15 years of working in the jewellery industry under my belt, I am confident I can answer almost any question you ask me.
We'll start by having an initial meeting. Either over a coffee, or a Skype session -wherever you are in the world, I'm happy to help. During this session I will asses what it is you are looking for, and also work around the budget you have in mind. If you don't know anything about any of this, this is the point where I will fill you in on the 4C's of Diamond Quality, as well as all the other incredible gems that can be used in engagement rings. Diamonds are not the one and only option in this case. Be adventurous! Add some colour. Some magic.
After this meeting I will get behind my drawing board for a few days, and sketch out all of our ideas. I'll send you these sketches, and we can see which designs resonate with you. I will then send you quotes on all the different options. Different types of metal and stones will determine the cost of the piece in the end.
Once you have approved the final quote, and a 50% deposit has been obtained, I go ahead with production -meticulously crafting your piece and sending you pictures and updates along the way.
For my international clients, this is the point where we will arrange safe shipping for your piece. And if the ring size is not a perfect fit - let me know, and I can recommend jewellers in all the big cities to help you make your piece the perfect life long companion. If you're in Sydney, just come and see me, and I'll make it fit.

Pair of English folk art paintings Sold
A pair of English naïve paintings / Par o luniau naïf Saesneg
Wonderful pair of English naïve school oil paintings, depicting two inns in a pastoral landscape in original faux walnut painted frames. Unsigned.
English late 18th / early 19th century
22½" w x 16¾" h (including frame) / 57.2cm w x 42.5cm h (including frame)
£5650 Sold
….So firm a feature of our life is the inn, and so marked its Englishness, that there is scarcely one English writer or foreign visitor who has not paid tribute to it. Chaucer, Harrison and Fynes Morison began it, and it continued through the centuries up to the specific looking-back laudation of the writers of the nineteenth century and our own times. The Tudor and Stuart dramatists, Isaac Walton, Pepys…
…..The inn of which I had become an inhabitant was a place of infinite life and bustle. Travellers of all descriptions, from all the cardinal points, were continually stopping at it; and to attend to their wants, and minister to their convenience, an army of servants, of one description or other, was kept; waiters, chambermaids, groom, postillions, shoe-blacks, cooks, scallions, and what not, for there was a barber and hair-dresser who had been at Paris, and talked French with a cockney accent…..Jacks creaked in the kitchens turning round spits on which large joints of meat piped and smoked before great big fires. There was running up and down stairs, and along galleries, slamming of doors, cries of "Coming, sir" and "Please to step this way, ma'am" during eighteen hours of the four-and-twenty. Truly a very great place for life and bustle was this inn……

Employers have duties concerning the provision and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at work.
PPE is equipment that will protect the user against health or safety risks at work. It can include items such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and safety harnesses. It also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE).
Making the workplace safe includes providing instructions, procedures, training and supervision to encourage people to work safely and responsibly. Even where engineering controls and safe systems of work have been applied, some hazards might remain. A lot of the time, PPE can be used to reduce the remaining risks.
Although PPE is very effective, it should be used as a last resort. You should always try eliminate or reduce the risk before you turn to PPE. All appropriate PPE should be free of charge to your employees; it is your duty to look after them and make sure they are safe. You should also choose equipment carefully and make sure employees are trained in how to use it properly and how to detect and report any faults.
When you're selecting and using PPE you must:
- Choose products which are CE marked in accordance with the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002.
- Choose equipment that suits the user e.g. the size, fit and weight of the PPE.
- If more than one item of PPE is worn at the same time, make sure they can be used together, e.g. wearing safety glasses may disturb the seal of a respirator, causing air leaks.
- Instruct and train people how to use it, e.g. train people to remove gloves without contaminating their skin.
All PPE must be properly looked after and stored when not in use, if the equipment is reusable it must be kept cleaned and in good condition. While maintaining PPE you should think about:
- Using the right replacement parts which match the original, e.g. respirator filters.
- Keeping replacement PPE available.
- Who is responsible for maintenance and how it is to be done.
- Having a supply of appropriate disposable suits which are useful for dirty jobs where laundry costs are high, e.g. for visitors who need protective clothing.
PPE should be monitored and reviewed regularly. You should check if PPE is being used by your employees. If it isn't, you should find out why. Safety signs can be useful in reminding people that PPE should be worn. Take note of any changes in equipment, materials and methods – you may need to update what you provide.
