On a relatively warm and dry day the French circuit of Magny Cours provided the perfect stage for the finale of the 2018 International Bridgestone Handy Race. Austrian rider Peter Rohr (AUT) rounded of his campaign with his second win of the three round series to claim the 1000cc title, whilst Spanish rider Alejandro De La Cruz (ESP) was second in his class on the day, though this was sufficient for him to clinch the 600cc crown..
With the previous encounters at Le Mans and Mugello earlier in the season having set the tone for the closing event, the final race did not disappoint with plenty of action from the outset as the twenty-two starters completed both their sighting laps and warm up laps behind the safety car before the ten-lap race proper got underway.
Towards the end of lap three Martin Horky (CZE) was to crash, although he was OK and soon re-joined the race before making a second mistake at the same turn three laps later. Despite losing more time Horky got back on track to end the day in eleventh spot in the 1000cc class.
Out front Rohr steadily moved clear of the field to take the flag some eighteen seconds ahead of his compatriot Matthias Lanzinger (AUT) who took the runners up spot on the day and seventh place overall in the series.
Lanzinger is a former alpine athlete who lost his left leg during an accident at the Ski World Cup race in Norway in 2008 whilst competing in the Super G event. Despite this set back Matthias was back on the slopes at the Paralympic games in Sotchi, Russia in 2014 where he earned a silver medal in the Super G race.
France's Stephane Paulus (FRA) rounded out the top three in the 1000cc in his home race, a feat matched by fellow paraplegic rider Talan Skeels-Piggins (GBR) in the 600cc class.
It was Italian rider Maurizio Castelli (ITA) who collected top honours in today's race in the smaller capacity class as he crossed the line twenty plus seconds ahead of eventual 600cc champion De La Cruz.
The final drama of what proved to be a fitting climax to this fast growing series happened on the last lap Daniele Barbero (ITA) took a tumble at turn twelve, he was confirmed OK but was taken to the medical centre for further examination, however this sadly meant he was not able to make it to the podium to celebrate his third place overall in the 1000cc class.
The running of the 2018 International Bridgestone Handy Race represents the continued collaboration between the FIM, Handi Free Riders and Diversamente Disabili with the support of the FFM (Fédération Française de Motocyclisme) and the FMI (Federazione Motociclistica Italiana). The success of this year's three round series follows on from the inaugural event held at Le Mans, back in May 2017 as part of the 2017 French Grand Prix.
The International Bridgestone Handy Race is open to riders with the following qualifying conditions: Amputation of an upper or lower limb / Hemiplegia / Paraplegia / Complete Plexus brachial.
Finally, the race was followed by a meet and greet session where the Handy riders were joined by the stars of the FIM Superbike World Championship in an interactive session with the public in the paddock show.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 31, 2015 – Barack Obama would take issue with Father Douglas Al Bazi, an Iraqi Catholic parish priest in Erbil, who has a totally different perspective on Islam than the president.
Of course, Bazi lives in Iraq in the midst of Islamic extremism, while Obama kicks back in the comfort of the White House and Air Force One and only philosophizes about it.
Speaking at an intervention meeting in Rimini, Bazi said, "Rome. Please, if there's anyone who still thinks ISIS doesn't represent Islam, know that they are wrong. ISIS represents Islam one hundred percent."
Continuing his warning, Father Al Bazi said, "I'm proud to be an Iraqi, I love my country. But my country is not proud that I'm part of it. What is happening to my people is nothing other than genocide. I beg you: Do not call it a conflict. It's genocide."
The priest's point is simple in its perspective, but controversial in its content because he refutes the concept of "moderate Islam." Unfortunately, Al Bazi is correct. More worrisome, however, is that the politically correct crowd, and even not-so-politically-correct analysts continue to believe that extremism in Islam represents only a small portion of the faith.
What is more accurate is that there are Muslims, most of them, in fact, who simply want to get on with there lives without perpetuating the tenets of Islamic jihad.
What is not true, however, is that Islam itself is a "religion of peace." Millions upon millions of Muslims do not know or understand the basics of their faith. Countless others may comprehend it, but they choose not to exercise the inherent violence of Muhammad's seventh-century world. Even so, that does not change the basic ideals of the religion, and, like it or not, ISIS, and those of its ilk, are simply adhering to the lessons taught by the prophet in the Quran and the Hadith.
Father al Bazi nails it when he says, "When Islam lives amidst you, the situation might appear acceptable. But when one lives amidst Muslims, everything becomes impossible. I'm not here to instigate you to hate Islam. I was born amid Muslims and I have more friends among them than I have with Christians. But people change and if we go to my country, no one will be able to distinguish the light from the darkness. There are those who say: 'but I have lots of Muslim friends who are very nice.' Yes, certainly! They are nice over here! Over there the situation is very different!"
At the French Conference for Imams last July, Hocine Drouiche, the imam of Nimes, had strong words for the European Parliament: "In the world, Christians are being persecuted, hunted down, deprived of work, imprisoned, tortured and murdered. All means are being used to force them to deny their faith, including the ritual of collective rape, considered in some states a form of penal sanction. Owning a Bible has become a crime, religious worship is prohibited and there has been a return to the times of Masses in the caves and the first martyrs."
Drouiche added that the fault is "contemporary Islam, which is much closer to sectarianism rather than a universal, open religion."
Al Bazi is living proof of the ordeals many Christians endure when living in the Islamic world. Nine years ago, jihadists kidnapped him for nine days. He was blindfolded and held in chains. "For the first four days they didn't even give me anything to drink," said Bazi. "They would walk past me saying 'Father, do you want some water?' All day long they would listen to the reading of the Quran and let the neighbours hear what good believers they were."
Today the priest is in charge of two refugee shelters for Christian survivors whose houses were marked with the letter "n" of the Nazarene a year ago. Then came the advance of the black horde and, as Father Al Bazi says, "from morning to night we receive thousands of refugees."
"Wake up!" warns the father. "The cancer is at your door. They will destroy you. We, the Christians of the Middle East, are the only group that has seen the face of evil: Islam."
In the final analysis, there is no such thing as "moderate" Islam.

Talk:Apoptosis movie 1
Bim and Bmf synergize to induce apoptosis in Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection
PLoS Pathog. 2009 Mar;5(3):e1000348. doi: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1000348. Epub 2009 Mar 20.
Kepp O, Gottschalk K, Churin Y, Rajalingam K, Brinkmann V, Machuy N, Kroemer G, Rudel T. Source Department of Molecular Biology, Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, Berlin, Germany.
Bcl-2 family proteins including the pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins are central regulators of apoptotic cell death. Here we show by a focused siRNA miniscreen that the synergistic action of the BH3-only proteins Bim and Bmf is required for apoptosis induced by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo). While Bim and Bmf were associated with the cytoskeleton of healthy cells, they both were released upon Ngo infection. Loss of Bim and Bmf from the cytoskeleton fraction required the activation of Jun-N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK-1), which in turn depended on Rac-1. Depletion and inhibition of Rac-1, JNK-1, Bim, or Bmf prevented the activation of Bak and Bax and the subsequent activation of caspases. Apoptosis could be reconstituted in Bim-depleted and Bmf-depleted cells by additional silencing of antiapoptotic Mcl-1 and Bcl-X(L), respectively. Our data indicate a synergistic role for both cytoskeletal-associated BH3-only proteins, Bim, and Bmf, in an apoptotic pathway leading to the clearance of Ngo-infected cells.

Over sixty horticultural youth where taught about lighting in the World Horti Center in the Netherlands recently. Kurt Zwemstra of Hortilux and Wessel van Paassen of Green Simplicity dropped by to talk about some of the innovations in the field of lighting in greenhouse horticulture. Although it is a much-discussed topic, much appeared to be still unclear both in terms of the optimal light recipe and the costs connected to a variety of lighting options.
Over sixty horticultural youth came to the World Horti Center.
Kurt Zwemstra of Hortilux was the first speaker. He took the future horticultural generation on a short tour of the history of the company and talked about some of the basics of lighting. This was probably nothing new for the people attending, however now and then you would see a smartphone pop up to take a quick picture of the statistics shown. The micromoles passed by in rapid procession during the review, where Kurt remarked that the eventual 1% light always equals 1% growth for Hortilux. Because 1 μmol will always remain 1 μmol, whether it is lighted with HPS/SON-T or LED lighting.
Kurt Zwemstra speaking
If the light is the crop's energy source (leaving control light out of the equation), then an important benefit of LED lighting is the lower energy use compared to HPS/SON-T. This has become a known fact by now, but the inevitable question remains: how much does it cost then? Is LED more expensive? "Yes", Kurt responded when this question was asked. "And with that said the investment costs for LED are not twice, but three or even three and a half times as high now."
What costs remain at the bottom line?
The figures and schematics with micromoles went on to be exchanged with economic figures because Kurt was presenting the TCO module, in which the total costs of ownership of a variety of lighting solutions can be calculated for the depreciation time of seven years. By filling in or adjusting for different variables it is possible to make a comparison between, for instance, 1 hectare LED and 1 hectare HPS/SON-T to see what cost difference remains at the bottom line. The difference in the example, though simplified, turned out very small. Per square meter, the costs of LED were only a few dozen euro cents more than that of HPS/SON-T.
A look at a TCO-module
The example presented was appreciated, but also raised some questions. "As a grower using LED won't you start lighting more, thus making your energy costs higher?", was one of these questions. Kurt answered that this is definitely something to take into account and that is why growers always need to consider their own situation when calculating the costs and making a decision. "LED is not the best option in all of the cases. Some cultivations simply still benefit from the higher radiant heat of HPS/SON-T."
And will LED become cheaper in the future? "Yes, I expect it will", Kurt replied. "The costs per μmol have decreased in the past couple of years, but when talking about light efficiency these strides will become less and less. The greatest steps taken to making LED more financially advantageous will have to do with the investment costs."
Wessel van Paassen
The more tests that are done at the same time, the quicker the right recipe can be found
After some calculations involving facts and figures, Wessel van Paassen pulled the audience's attention towards the direction of the practical applications of LED lighting. For over four years now he's been working to get the best results out of lighting solutions with his startup company, Green Simplicity. The first step to achieve this is to check for the best possible results a crop can achieve in a fully controlled environment without minding the costs involved. The idea behind this is pretty simple according to Wessel: when you know the best possible results that can be achieved in an ideal controlled cultivation environment, then you know what you should strive for. The next step is to then find a way to achieve this ideal situation in the current situation.
By now LED is on the rise, but Wessel notes that the knowledge, oddly enough, is still lacking. "Growers choose a lighting solution without actually knowing what that lighting solution will do for their crops more often than not, which is incomprehensible if you ask me. Because of this, we are now making plant-based research available on a wide scale. The grower needs to easily be able to know what works best in their situation."
The LED's Research cubicle
Green Simplicity makes this possible with diverse research facilities, ranging from the big to the small. "It is possible by using a rack of dimmable lights in the greenhouse, on a trolley or in a fully controlled environment." The point is having as many cubicles as possible to test out as many different recipes as possible. "The more cubicles, the quicker the grower can see just what their plant is capable of."
In the cubicle with the famous purple light
Blue light
Wessel proceeded by showing a variety of examples in which the term 'blue light' was mentioned a lot. "Most people active in the industry seem to go 'wild' over red and reddened light for the scope and growth of their crops. But the other colors in the light spectrum also have important functions. Blue light for instance, which causes a more compact growth and ensures better rooting for chrysanthemums. When it becomes apparent that this plant performs better in a cubicle lighted with LED lighting then this, of course, equals more profits. The higher costs involved in the cultivation in a cubicle with LED lighting then pays for itself in the greenhouse."
The same blue light gets 'turned off' a lot by growers without them even being aware of it. For example, by putting up screens or applying chalk or coatings. Wessel: "The sunlight during summer contains an average of 26% blue light, which is important for a more compact growth. As soon as the screens close in the greenhouse, around 5% of that blue light disappears. Weirdly enough, many screen suppliers and growers using the screens did not know this. The same can be said for the application of chalk. When we know more about the effects different colors of light have on a crop, we can adjust the screen installation and chalk choice accordingly."
Wessel will continue making research systems and testing together with growers in the future. He does this together with Hortilux, who also want to work on increasing the knowledge of lighting in greenhouse horticulture. The most profitable opportunities, according to Wessel, can be found in cultivation, propagation, and breeding at this time. "A sizeable profit can be made there. The entire industry can profit from better base materials." The message truly spoke to the future generation of growers and greenhouse horticulture specialists. When the time comes they will be faced with a lighting choice, they now know what to look for and which (financial) considerations they need to keep in mind.
After both presentations ended, the young attendants were able to talk with and ask questions to both speakers in the research cubicles and demo greenhouses in the World Horti Center.

Three female students attended Wentworth when humanities professor Lois Ascher joined the faculty. Forty-six years later, Ascher leaves a lasting impression as the first female professor at the Institute. Her story of finding career success, as well as love with fellow professor Frank Rooney, was featured last year in The Boston Globe at the time of Rooney's passing. She has served on the board of directors for the West End Museum in Boston, published numerous academic papers, and continues to lead talks about urban renewal and other topics.
Upon her retirement in 2017, Ascher had taught nearly 1,000 female Wentworth students and worked alongside numerous women leading academic departments and serving at the very top levels of leadership.
Ascher's strong legacy continued this year with the respective advancement of Cristina Cosma (Myles and Eugenia Sweeney Department of Construction Management) and Gloria Ma (Department of Mechanical Engineering) to full professorships.
Ma, who began her Wentworth career in 2008 and earned a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Cosma has taught at Wentworth since 2004 and holds a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Florida, where she also taught after graduation.

Persistence at e-Learning in a China Corporate Training Context
Stacey M. M. Shirra, University of Nottingham, Hong Kong ; Gregg Orr, University of Texas, United States
Global Learn, in Melbourne, Australia ISBN 978-1-880094-85-3 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE)
Corporations are finding e-learning as a valuable delivery method for training as it allows employees to take courses at a time that fits their schedules, and the courseware is scalable. This paper is a study of various functional levels of e-learning training delivered by an international food and beverage company operating at various locations in Mainland China. Though 26% of their training is delivered in face-to-face classrooms, a growing number of courses are posted in the company's learning management system and delivered through e-learning. Some locations have a higher success rate in terms of numbers and percentages of completed courses. The completion rate among individual users follows a similar trail. Common factors for persistence at e-learning such as work environment and favorite courses, became evident. This pointed toward interviewing managers, developers, and end users to discover more about factors contributing to persistence. Finally, based on the work of Crisp and Nora (2009), a theoretical model for persistence in a China corporate e-learning context is proposed.

"So this is Christmas and what have you done" Asked John Lennon once.
Whatever he was getting at, in 1971 when he released the song, he probably didn't get envisage someone getting his hands in a chicken in the name of a Facebook challenge or trying to break a world record for eating the most amount of mince pies ever in a minute – and he most definitely never wore a suit like our presenter Tom did yesterday.
2018 has been the year of the Leisure Leagues prize draw. It started in the spring, and has become a fixture each month. Yesterday was the last until 2019 and was probably the most madcap yet.
You can watch on in awe as Senior League Manager, Shaun tries valiantly to conquer the mince pies, and you can sympathise with John and Adam as they get to grips with a variety of food from raw chicken (the turkey had all been gobbled up….) to Cranberry Sauce, and you too can marvel that aforementioned suit (and yes, Tom really brought that from home!)
In amongst all this festive frivolity we got on with the serious business of giving out some prizes – and despite Tom's best efforts (he gave the winners a Christmas bonus second spin) the £12,000 star prize of a holiday to Germany, courtesy of UHLSPORT, remained unclaimed).
As always, it wasn't just the teams that benefited, and some of the audience received giveaways just for watching, including the coveted Leisure Leagues Christmas Hamper and some Fifa points.
The full list of winners is below:
– Name: Charlie Juett
– Team Name: Phil Neville's Left Feet
– League: Margate Wednesday
– Prize: £50 Pizza Express Voucher
– Team Name: Obi One Ya Know Me
– League: Halifax Sunday
– Prize: Joey Barton's Autobiography
Runners Up
– Team Name: 43 Utd
– League: Rugby Wednesday
– Prize: 6x Replica Football Shirts
– Team: CSK Albion
– League: Aldershot Monday
– Prize: £500
Christmas Bundle
– Charlie Marshall
2,200 FIFA Points
– Ryan Carreyett
The prize draw will return in early January 2019, when all the winners from leagues that end in December will be in with a chance of winning the best prizes in 6 a side football. Keep your eye on Facebook for the latest news.Back to Blog

In fact, though it may not seem like it at first, they're really along the same lines anyway. Separation and divorce are often part of a New Year's resolution, too. I've seen it before.

Has anyone ever used BlueYellow before? For some reason I thought it made more sense to use this product instead of buying seed/fertilizer/straw. I thought I only needed 6 few rolls since I was only doing my front yard that was regraded but it ended up taking 10 rolls in total. We are watering it and after I did some calculations I could have just used SOD, but was warned against SOD since we do not have water sprinklers. Let me know if we made a mistake by using this product?

Welcome to The Reward of Grace chapter of Christ's Object Lessons eBook
In Short:
How God deals with His servants?
His reward is given not according to our merit but according to His own purpose – in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Christ presented the right principles of God's free grace to the young ruler who came running to Him. He said: Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Matthew 19:16.
Christ answered: If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:17.
He presents obedience to God's law as the condition of eternal life. The character of God is expressed in His law. Thus in order for you to be in harmony with God, the principles of His law must be the motive of your action. The requirement under the covenant of grace is just the same as the requirement made in Eden – harmony with God's law, which is holy, just, and good.
The young man answered without hesitation:
All these things have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet? Matthew 19:20.
Yet he had a secret fear that all was not right between his soul and God. He asked the question: What lack I yet?
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Matthew 19:21, 22
The young ruler had cherished an idol in the soul
The world was his god. He professed to have kept the commandments, but he didn't have true love for God or man. In his love of self and worldly gain he was out of harmony with the principles of heaven.
Moreover, he was not ready to accept the Savior's principle of self-sacrifice. In this Christ did not ask a greater sacrifice than He Himself had made.
He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9.
He chose his riches before Jesus and with a sorrowful heart he turned away from Him.
Christ's disciples had been taught to look upon the rich as the favorites of heaven. They realized that they themselves were included in the solemn warning. The wealth of people gives them no title to the inheritance of the saints. It is only through the unmerited grace of Christ that any individual can find entrance into the city of God.
No merited reward in proportion to labor
Though they had been attracted by the love of Jesus, the disciples were not free from thinking that God's favor must be earned.
Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? Matthew 19:27.
They cherished a spirit of self-exaltation and self-complacency. Furthermore they made comparisons among themselves. For that reason Christ taught them the principles of the gospel. In a parable He illustrated the manner in which God deals with His servants, and the spirit in which He desires them to labor for Him.
God's vineyard laborers
Call the laborers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. Matthew 20:8-10.
Those later hired believed the master's promise: Whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. They were rewarded, not according to the amount of their labor, but according to the generosity of his purpose.
So God desires us to trust in Him who justifieth the ungodly. His reward is given not according to our merit but according to His own purpose, which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Ephesians 3:11.
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us. Titus 3:5
And for those who trust in Him He will do "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. Ephesians 3:20.
The Lord desires us to:
- rest in Him without a question as to our measure of reward
- appreciate His promised blessings
- not eager for rewards nor feel that for every duty we must receive compensation.
Love to God and to our fellow men should be our motive.
The reward is all of grace
The reward is not of works, lest any man should boast; but it is all of grace.
Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:3-5
The first and the last will be sharers in the great, eternal reward. In all our service a full surrender of self is demanded. Thus when:
- selfishness is dead
- strife for supremacy is banished
- gratitude and love fill the heart
it is only then that Christ is abiding in the soul, and we are recognized as laborers together with God.
This is the spirit of all true service for God when:
- working with unselfish heart
- being partakers of Christ's sufferings
- sharing His sympathies
- co-operating with Him in His labor
they bring honor and praise to His exalted name.
Blessed will be the reward of grace to those who have wrought for God in the simplicity of faith and love.

Hello, I hope you are well.
I was doing some research on your industry and I landed on your website. The thing is, it was on Page 2 of Google!
I had a look at some of the other businesses who are currently ranked on Page 1 and I truly believe you have a better website and a better brand.
The stats show that only 4% of people go to page 2...In other words this no man's land.
Long story short, I have created a Website Audit which addresses all of the technical and web errors on your website that is stopping you from ranking on PAGE-1...
I am happy to send you this report.
All I want is the chance to talk to you and discuss THE WEBSITE AUDIT in greater detail and see if there is a good fit for us to work together.
What do you think?
Looking forward to chatting

Australia the 'vanguard', perhaps with new smallbiz products to make it sensible
Cisco's veep for Australia and New Zealand yesterday told the Cisco Live! event in Melbourne that it's currently possible to buy his company's kit online from the company, but that finding out how to do it is not easy.
Cisco's online direct sales presence is obscure because it's sells mostly through channel middlemen. But Boal said some customers, especially smaller outfits, want to buy from Cisco online. The company will therefore soon meet their desires.
The effort will start small: Boal said Australia will be "the vanguard" of the online experiment. He also hinted at new products tailored to small business and micro-business, and organisations of those sizes as the store's targets.
Boal also suggested the store would be run in such a way that reselling partners don't see it as a threat.
Cisco's long been an e-commerce titan: in about 1997 your correspondent wrote that the company had cracked the billion-a-year barrier with an online configuration tool that let customers order routers just the way they wanted them.
Boal said the company's e-commerce efforts have since largely been directed at partners.
Cisco transcacts north of 90 per cent of its global revenues via channel firms, so many won't be happy about a direct sales push.
There's no word on when the store will debut or reach beyond Australia, but Boal mentioned its development in the context of his priorities for 2018. ®

The Royal Wedding – tweets visualized
The wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton is cause for celebration – especially for the conventional and social media. Using twitter's hashtag #rw2011 the online audience could express their sentiments about the nuptial celebrations. I'm more interested in the conversations that take place in twitter: who mentions whom – the basis of social network analysis. Using NodeXL to retrieve the tweets (script here) and Gephi to visualize the dynamic structure of the network I came up with the following video:
In the video a connection between two nodes is formed when someone mentions or retweets another tweeter – a cite. The tweets were retrieved every 5 minutes before (4 hour before) and during the wedding ceremony until the flyover at the Buckingham Palace. The size of the node represents received citations and the brightness of the node represents activity of mentioning other tweeters. Tweeters that didn't mention anyone else are not shown here. @clarencehouse (2625 mentions received), @eonline (546 mentions) and @britishmonarchy (498) were the most popular tweeters. Overall 34780 tweeters used the hashtag during the 6 hour period and 12002 mentioned someone else. If we filter out those who are not connected to the main network and received no cites, a more clear picture emerges:
We can also notice that traditional news sites (@eonline, @enews, @bbcworld etc.) have engaged a large audience. These central nodes connect the whole network but still remain separated. The structure of the network resembles a scale-free network, where the most popular nodes gain new connections just by being popular ("the rich get richer -scenario").
Why do this? First of all, twitter's feed doesn't really relay the dynamics of the discussions.With this information we could map the most active and influential tweeters before an event occurs. We can map the different communities and audiences that have taken interest in the matter. Below is the picture of all of the tweets during the wedding (pdf here, see if you can ctrl+f youself).
Good luck for the married couple, here is .gexf-file (rather large one, 33megs) of the tweets if you want to do some network analysis on your honeymoon.

Returning Home, from Home
Our month long trip to Canada has come and gone. We divided our time between Ottawa, Campobello Island, Miramichi, Arichat, and Halifax. With friends and family, we spent our time eating, drinking, laughing, playing a variety of lawn games, and cooking things over beach fires.
We had a lot of expectations heading into our first return visit to Canada. Mostly, we weren't quite sure what it would be like to be back in our home country after becoming accustomed to another culture. Our first meal out on our first day back was the biggest challenge: Canadians on a restaurant patio being their normal, noisy selves was annoying when used to the more quiet and reserved French. Hearing English seemed strange rather than a welcome break. And being waited on by a bad server, then being expected to give a tip, was almost too much to handle. But by the time we awoke the next day, we were back to our Canadian selves, chatting noisily with the rest of them. Other things were more challenging to get used to: the poor value for wine at the Maritime liquor stores, and the lack of in-season fruit and vegetables at the grocery store. So now that we are back in the land of wonderful, cheap wine and six varieties of local peaches, we can't help but be reminded of things that are better in Canada…the grass is always greener, isn't it? So here are some Canadian things that are hard to beat:
1. Clean public washrooms. You can't really appreciate this until you have traveled elsewhere (not including the United States). Canadian public washrooms are roomy, and almost always have soap and toilet paper. In most European countries (I can't speak for the UK), the stall is so crammed that it is often hard to close the door, and there is often no toilet paper or soap. One also never knows what type of toilet awaits them: a 'normal' toilet, a toilet with no seat (modified squat), or a complete squat (usually for men). In Canada, there is a general hierarchy for bathroom niceness and cleanliness: Fancy restaurants often have matching fancy washrooms, airport washrooms are usually spotless, and are becoming increasingly touch-free, and lower on the list are gas station washrooms where some are good, and some are bad. But in Europe, almost all bathrooms are bad. In fact, I am shocked when I come across a good bathroom. I have counted only two to date: at L'Atelier in Arles, France, and Caffe Sicilia in Noto, Sicily. I also have a list of the worst bathrooms encountered in Europe, but I will spare you these details.
2. Ethnic food. French food is wonderful, but eating the same thing over and over again does get a tad monotonous, unless you are French. So while in Ottawa and Halifax, we loaded up on ethnic food: thai, vietnemese, indian, and sushi. Actually, we had sushi six times while away, including our last three meals in Canada! Hopefully that will carry us through to our next visit.
3. Junk food. Perhaps this is not something to be proud of, as it doesn't help the expanding Canadian waistline. But it was great to have licorice, smores, hot dogs, creamy dips, and all the other junk food that is missing in France.
4. Canadians. We have spent the last nine months trying to understand the French. We have come a long way in learning what makes them tick, but despite this we will always feel like outsiders looking in, because we are not French. So there is nothing like returning home and being among Canadians, and feeling like we do fit in. There are things that outsiders will never understand about us. For example, on parliament hill on Canada day the (old) Hockey Night in Canada theme was played. In response to recent events, thousands of Canadians in attendance booed. An outsider looking in would not have understood, but I proudly supported the booers. Or the strong feeling of national pride that is brought on by a snowbirds fly-over, or the RCMP musical ride. That is Canada.

Local digital agency The Distillery has launched a new startup product division, with a small team moving into a Renew Adelaide space on Flinders St under the banner of The Moonshine Lab.
The Distillery crew has delivered a number of startup projects over the years – typically either ideas they work up and take to agency clients, or startup products for founders that want a digital equity partner, or tech business ideas that make it through their internal screening process.
The Moonshine Lab is targeting what they see as a gap in SA's startup ecosystem, where there isn't a lot of obvious support for non-technical founders.

Can SEAT top 500,000 sales in 2018 with new Ibiza?
Volkswagen recently said that it had produced 14 million Polos since the first model was introduced in 1975. SEAT, an infinitely smaller company, introduced its similarly sized Ibiza in 1984. As it ramps up production of the fifth generation model, the total built at Martorell has just reached 5.6 million. The new car is more than good enough to push that total above 6 million within four years, maybe even three.

Jordan Brooker couldn't stop listening to Billy Currington's "Like My Dog" when he first heard the track nine years ago.
"That song really connected with me," Brooker said while calling from his Nashville, Tenn., home. "It had a big impact on me and that led me to the rest of Billy's catalog."
When Currington performs July 25 at McGrath Amphitheatre, Brooker will catch his set. He'll have a good view, too, since he'll be watching from the side of the stage as he's opening for Currington.
"Like everyone else that comes out that night, I'll be looking forward to seeing Billy perform," Brooker said. "The guy has been rock solid for many years. As far as country goes, Billy has been a big influence on me."
Brooker, 27, who is touring behind his self-titled debut album, which was released in November, is just as influenced by rock as country.
"I love both styles of music," Brooker said while calling from his Nashville home. "What I'm most about is real instruments played by real people. I'll see as many rock shows and as many country shows as possible. I just saw Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind last night. It was an evening of two great bands playing hard."
Like Jimmy Eat World and Third Eye Blind, Brooker comes up with plenty of hooks.
"There's nothing wrong with singing catchy songs," Brooker said. "I was born in 1991 and that was when Nirvana and Soundgarden broke. Both of those bands wrote and recorded some heavy songs, but the songs were catchy. That was particularly so for Nirvana. I went from that to the bands that emerged the last decade like Augustana. I love the power of rock."
About a decade ago Brooker discovered Dierks Bentley.
"I got really into Dierks," Brooker said. "I remember listening to the radio while my mom was driving and Dierks came on and I was like, 'This guy is great.' I love his approach. The songs are catchy but also gritty."
When he started making music a decade ago it was natural for him to combine country and rock.
"I was compelled to marry those schools of musical thought," Brooker said.
Brooker, who grew up in tiny Spencerville, Indiana, is adept at melding modern country and alt-rock. "Over My Head," Brooker's initial single from his EP, is a country-rock anthem that tells the tale of a man, who lost his girlfriend. She starts the next chapter of his life while her former boyfriend is fixated on why she left. It's a classic tale but with updated sonics. It's impressive how Brooker writes with so much detail.
"I love songs that paint a vivid picture," Brooker said. "I look at Bruce Springsteen, who is incredible. Bruce is an unbelievable storyteller. You look at what his songs are made up of and that has had a huge impact on me. Hardy (Brooker's songwriting partner) told me that I have a Springsteen-esque quality to my voice. So I dove into his catalog and I can't get enough of it.
"When you look at Springsteen or Billy Currington, it doesn't matter what the genre is. It's not about rock or country. It's about writing the best song possible. I love to tell stories in song. Music has changed a lot since I was born but one thing that hasn't changed is that if you have a great song, people will want to hear it."
Get Out!

Cold snap chills early risers, but the coming rain is more worrisome
A cold front moved through San Diego County before dawn Monday, dropping temperatures into the 30s across some inland areas and into the 40s and 50s at and near the coast, says the National Weather Service.
San Diego International Airport fell to 50 before dawn, Montgomery Field dropped to 45, Oceanside and Imperial Beach dropped to 48, Julian hit 37.
"The temperatures were actually about average, but this is one of the first cold mornings we've had this fall," said Mark Moede, a weather service forecaster.
Monday's daytime highs will reach the mid-60s and low 70s along the coast temperatures will dip sharply Tuesday, and warm further Thursday.
But then a major storm out of the north-central Pacific will bring heavy rain to San Diego County, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday. The rain could cause flash flooding across the region.
Forecasters say the system could drop up to 1.5'' to 2'' of precipitation, especially in southern coastal areas, according to the latest computer modeling. Similar figures are projected for inland areas.
Moede said the rain is likely to begin on Wednesday afternoon and evening, affecting the late rush hour. The rain will last well into Thursday. He said strong winds out of the south-southeast also will hit the coast, with the strongest gusts hitting 25 mph on Wednesday night.
"This will be a good sized winter storm that we'll have to watch closely," Moede said.

Edinburgh-based disabled accessibility company, Neatebox, has been awarded the prestigious international Zero Project Award for its work with the Welcome App.
The Zero Project recognises and celebrates innovative and effective solutions to the problems faced by people with disabilities.
Each year, the Project awards showcase some of the transformative work carried out by organisations across the globe, drawing on key aspects of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (UN CRPD).
Other notable awardees include Scottish charity, ENABLE Scotland, for its work in helping people with learning differences to vote.
Equality by Default
Released in 2017, Neatebox's Welcome app supports people with disabilities to help them fully enjoy their visit to a variety of venues, such as cafes, hotels, the Scottish Parliament and a number of retail venues including Jenners.
The free-to-use app allows users to request visits to specific venues, detailing their individual accessibility requirements so that staff can cater to their needs.
In 2018, Neatebox was also nominated for a number of prestigious awards, which saw the firm compete with Microsoft and Facebook to be recognised for their work improving disabled accessibility.
Recommended: Technology and Disability, an Interview with Gavin Neate
Neatebox founder and CEO, Gavin Neate, told DIGIT: "The Zero Project Awards Conference is held every year and can only be described as the greatest meeting of positive, can do, world-changers in one place at any time.
"Their drive for positive social change is tangible. For Welcome to have been adjudged to have achieved the high level they demand from their 'world changers' has left me feeling more positive and dedicated to my cause than ever before."
Neate added: "For a long time the word 'access' has been defined as physical, ie doors, ramps and lifts. It is fantastic to have the recognition that access issues are so often how a customer service team interacts with you on your arrival."

Listening to devotionals consistently is important for those who are still on their journey to faith. In Kyrgyzstan, we broadcast our devotionals on the radio every day. They help new Christians grow in their faith, but also help atheists and Muslims come to salvation.
Look at this message from Ainura in Kyrgyzstan:
"I am a Muslim woman; I read the Quran and recite my prayers. In spite of all this there is no peace in my soul. I met some followers of Isa Masikh (Jesus Christ). I really would like to know more about this Prophet. Your thoughts that there is some kind of salvation in Isa seems to make good sense. I am looking forward to hearing more."
Even though Ainura is a Muslim, she still listens to Guidelines devotionals. The more she learns about Jesus, the more she is drawn in and continues to listen. That's why it's so important to continue broadcasting our programs daily – each one takes her one step closer to salvation.

The Family: A Crazy Ink Anthology
From Award Winning and Bestselling Authors
Genre: Crime/Mob
Link: http://mybook.to/TheFamilyCI
Family ties are not to be tampered with.
The Family has rules for these things:
Nothing comes in the way of family…or at least it shouldn't.
Loyalty and ethics don't go hand in hand.
One outweighs the other and in crime families, loyalty always comes first.
If it doesn't, you die…or worse.
The line between good and bad starts to blend the longer you're with the family.
Simple bends of the law, dark, unsavory secrets, and years of lies and cover ups are nothing. After all, it's all in the name of family.
And what could be stronger than blood?
Some will go to any length to fight for what they know and believe in.
But what if family is more than just those you're born to?
What if family can be made and altered?
What if it means testing loyalty against passion, love, compassion, and everything?
What if it goes against The Family?
Family ties are everything…
what if family is more than just those you're born to? #FridayReads #Crime #Mafia #CrazyInk #GoCrazy #CrimeFamily #Mob @Crazyink Click To Tweet

Physicians' group asks Florida Supreme Court to reconsider medical malpractice case
A doctors' group has requested that the Florida Supreme Court reconsider its rejection of an arbitration agreement in a lawsuit involving medical malpractice.
The request was filed by attorneys for physician Eileen Hernandez and Women's Care Florida LLC, approximately two weeks after the arbitration agreement was tossed out in a case involving a stillborn baby.
The validity of arbitration agreements in lawsuits over health care has been a controversial topic of late, with the issue being considered by Florida appeals courts. The cases typically involve a health care provider asking patients or family members to sign an agreement stating that disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration rather than a jury trial. Advocates argue that such agreements take away the rights of injured people to obtain fair compensation from providers that make serious medical mistakes.
On December 22, the Florida Supreme Court rejected an arbitration agreement between Lualhati Crespo and Women's Care Florida. Crespo delivered a stillborn son in 2011. She and her husband filed a lawsuit in 2013 and later requested binding arbitration under a state-law process. Women's Care Florida said the case should be governed by the arbitration agreement Crespo signed, which would lead to binding arbitration through a different process.
The justices rejected the arbitration agreement, declaring it void as against public policy, in a 5-2 decision, because terms in the agreement clearly favored the health care provider, including terms related to the selection of the arbitration panel. Women's Care Florida, in its motion for rehearing, said the state high court had encroached on the right to contract.

Hi everyone
Got out on the 11.30am lock hoping to use the tide to get down to at least The Knap but wind was blustery & sea was snotty round by Lavernock so turned & tried a few spots round the Penarth area.
Between 5 of us we managed to tally up a decent fish list.
My nephew Kyle bagged his 1st ray ever, chuffed to bits
Did everything himself too, well done Kyle!
I managed to bag a 14lb ray
This was caught in not more than 25ft of water at near slack tide
We went on a hunt for a Conger & succeeded with a 12lber near the end of the sesh , no photo-ym hands were too slimey.
All in all I wasn't expecting much when faced with a day off Penarth but as is often the case in fishing, we were all pleasantly suprised with over 20 fish caught.
If font is too large, Im sorry as im experimenting with the font size on here.

The transition from Roman Britain to early Anglo-Saxon England, traditionally described as the Adventus Saxonum and associated with a large-scale invasion by Germanic peoples, has been the subject of much debate. The archaeological record does not support a replacement of the local Romano-British population with Germanic incomers, and alternative explanations for the transition argue for a much smaller contribution of Germanic immigrants. As a contribution to this debate and to address the question of the number of immigrants, we have applied strontium and oxygen isotope analysis to study residential mobility in a sample of 19 individuals from the early Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Eastbourne, Sussex, on the southern English coast. Local variation in bio-available strontium isotope ratios was established by sampling soils from different geological substrates within 19 km of the cemetery and from a small sample of domestic animals recovered from the graves. Four individuals are likely continental immigrants, three others could be, but could also originate elsewhere in the British Isles, and two women are likely immigrants from nearby communities. The identified immigrants at Eastbourne show a temporal spread and lack of wealth expressed as grave goods. This pattern is not consistent with simple models of mass invasion, elite takeover or acculturation. Our results, together with other recent findings, imply that the Adventus Saxonum involved diverse migratory and demographic processes.

Slim is Simple is the latest addition to a growing body of work in the health and nutrition field by Bailor, whose book, "The Smarter Science of Slim," has been called "a proven and practical guide for weight loss and robust health" by Dr. Theodoros Kelesidis from Harvard Medical School and the UCLA School of Medicine. Rather than by focusing on counting calories or otherwise starving the body, Bailor's approach stresses that eating clean, healthy, and nutritious foods, that effectively "unclog the hormonal sink," will allow the body to reach its natural, ideal weight.

Claire Dearing, the former park manager, has now founded the Dinosaur Protection Group, an organization dedicated to protecting the dinosaurs. To help with her cause, Claire has recruited Owen Grady, a former dinosaur trainer who worked at the park, to prevent the extinction of the dinosaurs once again.
