As engineers, we have knowledge and skills well beyond those of most consumers of our work, who must trust us to produce systems that operate safely, reliably, and with minimal negative impact. Human lives can depend upon the quality of our work, and significant economic and environmental consequences can result from the things that we do. Therefore, we as engineers must always have an awareness of not only the benefits but also the dangers and limitations of systems that we design. We must never put forward results that we have not thoroughly evaluated, and we must never conceal the shortcomings of our products. This is the fundamental responsibility of our profession to our society.
In a business environment, professional integrity has serious ramifications for a company's success. A business that develops a poor reputation in this area is likely to lose customers. Moreover, a lack of professional integrity in products, services, or transactions can have legal consequences of grave significance, potentially resulting in civil or criminal penalties for the company or its employees. As a result, most businesses adopt firm standards of professional conduct for their personnel. For example, the General Electric Company provides its staff with a 60 page booklet that lays out GE's Code of Conduct and its application in various situations.

Shirley Tse: Stakeholders, Hong Kong in Venice|Hong Kong Talk Series
30.08.2019 to 31.08.2019
Proceedings: Four Iterations of Hong Kong in Venice
Shirley Tse: Stakeholders, Hong Kong in Venice marks nearly two decades of Hong Kong's participation in La Biennale di Venezia (also known as the Venice Biennale), as well as the fourth edition that M+, West Kowloon Cultural District, has curated and co-presented with the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. This is an opportunity for critical reflection on the representation of Hong Kong contemporary art internationally in recent years. Together, curators and artists from the last four editions of the Biennale discuss the artistic approaches, curatorial strategies, and challenges of the biennial format by considering past and present iterations of Hong Kong's exhibition in Venice and also the future of the contemporary art scene in Hong Kong and its standing in the world.
30 August 2019 (Friday)
Miller Theatre, Asia Society Hong Kong Centre, 9 Justice Drive, Admiralty
Doryun Chong, Stella Fong, Christina Li, Yung Ma, Shirley Tse and Samson Young
John Tain
English, with simultaneous interpretation in Cantonese
Free admission. Limited capacity on a first-come, first-served basis.
Adverse Weather Arrangements:
Programme will be cancelled if a black rainstorm warning or a typhoon signal no. 8 or above is still in force 3 hours before the event starts.
About the speakers
Doryun Chong
Doryun Chong is Deputy Director, Curatorial, and Chief Curator of M+. He oversees all curatorial activities and programmes, including acquisitions, exhibitions, learning and public programmes, and digital initiatives. M+ exhibitions he has curated or co-curated include Mobile M+: Live Art (2015), Noguchi for Danh Vo: Counterpoint (2018), and three editions of the Hong Kong exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia (2015, 2017, and 2019).
Stella Fong
Stella Fong is Lead Curator, Learning and Interpretation at M+. She joined M+ in 2011 and has led learning initiatives and programmes aimed at shaping practices of non-formal learning through collaborative, experimental, and research-based pedagogy. She co-curated the solo exhibition of Tsang Kin-Wah for Hong Kong's participation at La Biennale di Venezia in 2015.
Christina Li
Christina Li is a curator working between Hong Kong and Amsterdam. She graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a degree in Fine Arts (Art History) and Comparative Literature, and completed De Appel Curatorial Programme in 2009. She was the Curator-at-Large at Spring Workshop, Hong Kong, where she served as the Director between 2015 and 2017. At Spring, she curated, among other projects, A Collective Present (2017), Wu Tsang: Duilian (2016), Wong Wai Yin: Without Trying (2016), Days push off into nights (2015), and Des hôtes: a foreigner, a human, an unexpected visitor (2015). She curated Dismantling the Scaffold (2018), the inaugural exhibition at Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong.
Yung Ma

Shirley Tse
Los Angeles–based Hong Kong artist Shirley Tse works in the media of sculpture, installation, photography, and text. She at once deconstructs the world of synthetic objects that carry paradoxical meanings and constructs models in which differences might come together. To visualise heterogeneity, Tse conflates different scales, fuses the organic with the industrial, moves between the literal and the metaphorical, merges narratives, and collapses the subject and object relationship.
Samson Young
Multidisciplinary artist Samson Young was trained as a composer and works between image and sound to examine cross-cultural encounters of the past, present, and future—and their reverberations. Solo exhibitions of his work have been held at the 57th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, where he represented Hong Kong; Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; the Smart Museum of Art, Chicago; and elsewhere.
About the moderator
John Tain is Head of Research at Asia Art Archive. His writings have appeared in Artforum, Art Review Asia, and elsewhere, and he is an editor for Afterall's Exhibition Histories series. Previously, he was a curator at the Getty Research Institute, where he curated an exhibition for Pacific Standard Time. In 2018, he co-curated Yasuhiro Ishimoto: Someday, Chicago as part of Art Design Chicago initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

District Sales, PAWS Workholding
My music teacher in high school drummed into his students that music was 99 percent attitude. He was correct, but over the years it has become clear to me that 99 percent of almost everything is attitude! A good attitude is essential to a good marriage, cooking a good meal or playing a good game of golf. Almost any endeavor in life requires first and foremost a proper mind-set or attitude to have the best chance for success.
If you are in manufacturing, no one has to tell you how tough the last few years have been. But you are still here, aren't you? Just the fact that you are reading this magazine proves that you are still engaged. You are still looking for new tools, methods and ideas that will help you and your company win.
Featured Content
If you attended IMTS 2002 in Chicago, you saw some fine products and technological advances on display. But as a people watcher, I also observed the reactions and attitudes of those in attendance. On the one hand, there was a great deal of talk about the threats to the manufacturing industry from cheap overseas labor and subsidized steel. On the other hand, there was concern expressed about rising health care costs and rising wages here at home. But there were also those brave souls in attendance who were trying to find some ideas to help them turn things around. Yes, they were determined to survive the current downturn, but they wanted more than survival. They wanted and expected success.
Sadly, many in our business have begun operating out of a fear of losing what they have rather than going for the win. I enjoy watching football. I enjoy almost everything about the game. But there is one thing that really bugs me. It's called the "prevent defense" (an attempt by the team that's ahead to keep the other team from winning by denying it the big play). This is one of the most frustrating things to watch. The defense will drop back and allow the team that is losing to make small gains, but not big ones. Sometimes the strategy works, but often the team that is losing will succeed in putting a lot of little plays and gains together very quickly and before you know it, will be in a position to score. Basically, the team that is ahead stops playing to win and starts playing to not lose. Even if the prevent defense works, it is very unsatisfying to watch. But there is a big difference between football and business. For us, the clock will not run out and save us. We have to win and keep on winning—and we can!
One of the outstanding ideas at IMTS was presented by a small company from Clio, Michigan. The PAWS workholding system has been developed by Montague Tool, Inc. It is a hydraulically actuated multi-part holding system for use on CNC vertical milling machines. It can hold up to 80 parts at a time. Montague developed this system for use in its own job shop because it needed to increase productivity and quality. The company was convinced that it had to maximize the potential of its equipment as well as its people if it was going to be able to play to win. It's the old story of necessity being the mother of invention. PAWS has enabled Montague to bring two jobs back from the foreign competition! When was the last time you heard of that happening?
If we allow negative and defeatist thinking to settle in at our companies, after a while we won't recognize a good idea or opportunity if it lands right on our desks. We may spend a lot of time and effort in our businesses getting the right equipment, employees, consultants, accountants and tax attorneys. As we fine-tune our flow charts, personnel policies and production schedules, we also need to spend some time developing and maintaining a good attitude—one that will help us win!
We do live and work in a competitive world. But it has always been so. Remember, our forebears had competition and adversity too. Ever hear of the Great Depression and World War II? Don't believe the lie that things have never been worse. They have been worse, and yet our ancestors found a way to win. We can too.

- Pack Volume: 2,200 c.i.
- Scabbard Volume: 600 c.i.
- Total Volume: 2,800 c.i.
- Weight: 10 lbs 5 oz
- Dimensions main bag: 24"h x 11"w x 7"d
- Scabbard Dimensions: 34"L x 10"W x 3"D, with a 26" circumference opening
I've bought this pack a couple of years ago for the military.
Very happy with the quality and accessories. I use it to hold an M24 rifle, 2 scopes, variety of accessories and personal stuff.
A little bit heavy, but very reliable and sturdy.
This pack does everything.
It can carry heavy loads, tactical and
Outstanding quality.
It's great quality heavy duty gear but i was expecting it to separate from the rifle case way easier also the pictures and description make it look far larger than it is. I am impressed by the thought that went into designing this bag, there's little knick-knacks everywhere inside it
My father took us to dozens of Rocky Mountains week-long hikes for Elk scouting as a child so I'm no stranger to backpacking for the week dozens of Rocky Mountains as a child so I'm no stranger to backpacking for a week and not having access to running water or electricity. I've renamed the G3 Eberlestock that I purchased as the HULK. I've taken the HULK on treacherous hikes in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming and it's barely scratched. Usually, I am carrying a modified Savage 223 rifle for protection in the scabbard, +70 pounds of deer inside the pack as well as a Glock on my hip. Most of the other hiker's art tired and fatigued and complaining about their shoulders hurting and I'm just tired from hiking 7000 feet of elevation climb. This thing is so comfortable for my size once I got the straps adjusted.
It's not a light backpack but the weight of your gear is quite evenly distributed with the oversized padding and adjustable webbing. I cannot recommend the G3 HULK enough if you want a pack that wears like iron and can carry weight over rocky terrain when you need to also be carrying a gun. In a few months, I'm going on a hike to an area where goats are frequently known to use and they are not creatures who stick to easy terrain so this pack will yet again be tested. I'm not evenly remotely concerned that I will have issues other than I need to train my cardio and make sure I bring my gear. The Eberlestock G3 HULK will take it all in and hold it close to my frame, making it easier to carry heavy loads and keep a firearm handy yet well secured.
I will share if you one aspect of owning a pack like this is I get questions and a lot of them are "can you carry these heavy objects in your pack". For my daily carry, I do use an Osprey for school books but I'm there's no way I'm bringing bright red nylon in the backcountry. It would get torn, scratched, ripped up on branches and it's not remotely designed to carry 75 pounds of gear and wick sweat away.
I purchased my Eberlestock G3 HULK in 2012 and as I said before, it barely has any scratches, pilling, or wears marks and I'm not being gentle with this. One caveat is that I'm also using this as a drag back when hunting Elk so it doubles as a shooting platform. I take care of it, by cleaning it with a little green cleaner and I let it dry out after a trip, but I don't baby this thing and I think I paid a little under $250 for it. Next to my Savage rifles, this thing is so reliable that the Eberlestock company should be known for making tough products that are Tonka Truck Tuff.
Safety first and comfort right behind it.

Our Post:
Our clients love getting out and about in the community and simply enjoying all that their local area, city or state has to offer.
Community access plays an important part of the services we offer at Afford. Visiting local parks, events, landmarks and more around the community provide our clients with opportunities to explore the world around them and take part in different experiences.
Exploring The Community With Day Programs
With the warmer weather, clients increasingly want to explore the outdoors and get out near the water to feel and smell the ocean breeze.
Recently, our clients from Afford Condell Park Day Program travelled to Cronulla Beach. Clients made the most of the lovely sunny day by strolling along the beachside, watching the waves crashing against the sand and using all their sense to take in the beachside scene. There was also equipment nearby which clients enjoyed playing on, which rounded off a great day by the seaside.
Afford Chipping Norton clients also made the most of good weather by visiting nearby Rotary Park in Riverwood. They enjoyed exploring the surrounds, playing the swings, climbing ropes and other equipment and simply having fun with friends.
One-On-One Community Access
Afford also supports clients with one-on-one community access. Anthony from Kings Park Day Program loved experiencing the city of Sydney from his own personal perspective. He travelled with support to the city in a ferry and then made his way to Sydney Tower. At Sydney Tower, Anthony was mesmerised by the view of the city from the top of the tower. He moved close to the glass and stared longingly at the beautiful city.
After his visit to Sydney Tower, he then enjoyed roaming the city to landmarks such as Martin Place and others, all while observing his surroundings.
Afford Day Programs offer unique and person-centred opportunities to explore the community with friends or on your own. Find out how we can help you.

We have computer rooms available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week on campus, so you should always be able to work if you don't have your own machine. Students who choose to buy a computer are advised to avoid low-end machines since reliability will be important; a budget of around £700 should suffice, although some modules may require use of higher-end hardware which is available on campus. The School does not provide any Apple MacOS machines and their use is not required, but their use is supported if you wish to bring your own. Linux machines are provided on campus and we support the use of Debian/Ubuntu distributions. If you wish for more detailed advice on machine specifications, the department will be happy to advise.
Most software used on the course is freely available to students, either because it is open source, or because the School has a licence which supports personal student use. The School is a member of the Microsoft Imagine scheme and other programs designed to grant access to professional-grade software tools, which would normally be very expensive, for free.

Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head.
My mother's belief in spiritual healers grew stronger after our family went through a rough patch following my father's death. Sufi saint Karimullah Shah Kadri changed our lives, and all of us converted to Sufism. But it wasn't an instantaneous decision - it took us 10 years to convert. The change in religion was like washing away the past.
The institution of marriage works better when there's a spiritual connection. If you're marrying just for the sake of the woman, then you may lose interest in each other very soon. When we marry in the interest of the Holy Spirit with the intention of serving God and humanity, then it gives a much larger perspective.
Compared with other Indian film composers, I only write about six movies a year. Others write up to 60.
Your inner voice is the voice of divinity. To hear it, we need to be in solitude, even in crowded places.
It's like driving your car. If you drive too fast on the highway, you will topple, so you better maintain your speed. Life is similar to that, and that's the way you have to control your head.
I want young Indian composers to be able to do more than just film music. I want to give them the skills that will enable them to create their own palette of sounds instead of having to write formulaic music. It doesn't matter if they become sound engineers, producers, composers or performers - I want them to be as imaginative as they like.
Every time I sit for a song, I feel I am finished. It's like a beggar sitting waiting for God to fill your bowl with the right thought. In every song, I ask help from Him. Everybody around is so good, so to create music that will connect with so many people is not humanly possible without inspiration.
Some things are very low profile, but if they excite me creatively, I accept them. Sometimes there are high-profile projects, and you have to do it. We all have human limitations. It is a painful decision to turn things down. Even accepting 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a decision that I had to sacrifice another project.
For me, there is no day or night for music. I often work through the night - without phone calls disturbing me.
I think music, in my opinion, is not about motivation in the way it's - it's not a running base. It's art. And my whole philosophy of music is different. It's almost like cooking and serving to people, seeing them smile and enjoying the food, really.
I'm a Sufi Muslim, I would say. I believe in using the medium to create a good vibration because art is so important to society. Some projects I don't do because I feel that it's going to create a bad vibe. I don't do propaganda films that are anti another religion, anti-Muslim or anti-Hindu.
Wisdom comes from within. Knowledge is acquired and can sometimes put a screen on your wisdom.
I divide criticism into two categories - one coming from those who understand music, who are worthy of being critical because they are knowledgeable about what they are saying; and then there is another category of people who would criticise you anyway, whether your work is good or bad.

Welcome once again to Different Dream's ongoing series about PTSD in parents of kids with special needs. (You'll find links to the rest of the series at the bottom of the page.) Today's guest post comes from Brandi Brow, mother of 7 children, one of whom has special needs. Her post provides hope for parents who wonder if they can ever heal from the trauma they experienced as special needs parents and suggests ways to prepare for it when it comes.
PTSD and Special Needs Parents: 5 Ways to Prepare for Healing
Before my daughter was born with complex medical problems, I loved being around people and willingly shared my personal experiences. After months of hospital admissions and doctors' wrongful blame for her condition, I avoided people and shared nothing.
Four years later she was mostly outpatient with a new team in a different hospital and we could finally settle home, but I wasn't the same. Whenever something required emotional engagement, I'd instinctively turn away inside and shut off. I'd become reticent and wanted to stay that way.
Perhaps this is you or someone you know. If so, please read on, because there is hope.
Why Should I Care Again?
Deep down, you don't really want to feel nothing. You don't even want to feel no more pain. What you really want to feel is happy and free again.
Yeah, right, you may be thinking. That's long gone and not coming back.
I know how you feel. After I tried unsuccessfully to find solutions, I decided there wasn't one, so the next best thing was to tamp down my emotions to keep pain at bay.
Sound familiar? But be honest—it doesn't keep down everything.
Pain would periodically flash up through my careful defenses and sear me, and the more I clamped down, the more ruin it brought: I couldn't work, communicate with people, or feel anymore, and it destroyed opportunities.
I couldn't fix me and consequently lost hope, but that didn't matter. Healing found me anyway.
This is why you should care again: Your healing is possible regardless of how you feel.
Relief In Brokenness
I always thought as a Christian that I was responsible to fix everything wrong in myself, but after life went so bad, I simply couldn't. I was unable to do menial tasks, much less identify problems. That left me feeling like a bad person and a terrible Christian who was doomed to spend the rest of her life stupid and numb.
The truth is, sometimes we're too broken to fix ourselves and we need someone else to put us back together. (And if any Christian thinks differently, consider, Jesus wouldn't have died if people could atone for their own sins.)
That's a vulnerable place to be, and the last thing we want to feel when we're reticent, but it's also freeing. It means we don't have to fix something we're incapable of fixing.
There Is Hope
Fortunately, we don't have to search for healing. It comes on its own through unsuspecting people without needing our trust to do its work.
When I was most secluded, several people reached out to me in various ways that addressed inner problems I'd shared with no one. Their cumulative outreach breached my defenses and became liquid love dropping on the tundra of my heart. It brought out capsules of pain I'd been unable to see or handle, and they were shielded with that liquid love, which gave me the strength and support I needed to face, feel, and heal from the pain.
Neither they nor I could not have done that purposely. It was healing doing its work, sent from God above who alone knew my innermost thoughts and needs.
We may not be able to heal ourselves, but we can prepare ourselves to receive healing.
5 Ways Traumatized Special Needs Parents Can Prepare for Healing
- Acknowledge Your Brokenness: Sometimes we don't know we're broken, can't accept we're broken, or we know we are but don't want to admit it. You needn't sound a trumpet about it, but be honest with yourself. If you aren't working the way you normally would because of a trauma you sustained, admit it.
- Release Yourself: PTSD is not your fault, and neither is that you haven't fixed it. Let yourself be broken without condemning yourself for it. Struggles and needs is a sign of humanity, not sin.
- Just Be: Quit striving. Be as you are, warts and all. You won't stay this way forever because you're alive and living beings change. Don't despair if you can't see it. Sometimes we're like trees; our growth becomes apparent only after a lot of time passes.
- Small Chunks: You may be able to take in only small pieces of information or do limited activities before you overload and shut off. That's OK. Do daily what you are able within your means.
- Rest in the Process: Healing takes time. Rushing it can stymy the process. You will find more peace if you accept and anticipate this, and let healing use all the time it needs to complete its perfect work.
I don't know when your healing will come or how long it will take to complete, but prepare yourself and you'll be ready for it. In fact, doing so may very well serve as its invitation.

HART posted a press release today stating that the Obama administration may give new hope to future HART projects, including the proposed light rail system. Here's the full text…
New Administration Could Fuel Tampa Bay Transit
HART Projects in Line for Federal Funding
November 5, 2008 – Tampa, Florida – As President-elect Barack Obama was swept into office last night, so too were new priorities for the federal government. Sustainable energy, infrastructure investments and transportation improvements are sure to be high on the new President's list of things to do, and that means increased possibilities for transit in Tampa Bay.
Hillsborough Area Regional Transit is already working on several projects that could be in line for federal funding.
APTA Coordinating Federal Projects
The American Public Transportation Association is preparing information on transit projects and activities that could be funded in a future legislative package. HART has submitted a list of upcoming projects for consideration, including:
- New Buses for Bus Rapid Transit Lines – Bus Rapid Transit, or BRT, is a new express bus service that will feature modern station stops, advanced technology and new vehicles. The North-South line is in final design stages and should be in operation sometime in 2011, with an East-West line to follow.
- Tampa International Airport Transfer Center – Improving service to the airport will include a proposed bus transfer center on airport property. The transfer center would be served by the new East-West BRT.
- Additional Paratransit Vehicles – HART's service for people with disabilities has experienced exponential growth in the last few years. More vehicles would help HART adequately serve these people who need it most.
- Upgrades to the 21st Avenue Facility – With demand for transit service increasing, HART has outgrown its existing operations and maintenance facility. Upgrades and modernization would help HART continue to grow and maintain its fleet of buses.
- Double-Tracking the Streetcar Extension – The extension of the TECO Line Streetcar System to Whiting Street will connect Ybor City and the Channel District directly with downtown Tampa. A double-tracking option would allow for increased efficiency and more capacity than the current planned single track.
Hillsborough County Rail Project
One of the most talked-about issues in Tampa Bay is the possibility of a rail system that would connect people to employment, shopping and entertainment destinations across the region. HART has a head start on these plans with the Tampa Rail Project, a 20.1-mile light rail system operating on three corridors in Hillsborough County. The project received federal planning and environmental approvals in 2003.
Now, HART is reviving hopes for a future rail system in Tampa Bay by pursuing re-entry into the federal New Starts funding process for a potential light rail investment.
The mission of the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority (HART) is to provide public transportation services which are safe, dependable and cost effective, thereby enhancing the quality of life in our community.

Dragon Age Inquisition: Morrigan isn't party member but is vital to plot, says BioWare
Dragon Age: Inquisition sees the return of series favourite Morrigan, but BioWare has confirmed that while she won't join your party she is important to the game's plot.
Morrigan debuted in Dragon Age: Origins and has since become celebrated among fans, and she recently appeared in the game's latest trailer.
Speaking with Game Informer, BioWare creative director Mike Laidlaw said, "I think it is fair for people to understand that [Morrigan] will not be a party member. That's going to disappoint some people, but I think it's important for us to be upfront about that."
Writer David Gaider added, "It's not a cameo. She plays a significant role."
Laidlaw added that the story of Dragon Age: Inquisition and Morrigan's return have been built up for some time now, "The kernel of Inquisition's story we knew from about midway through Dragon Age: Origins. The story has been in the making for a very long time. The story of Inquisition is [Morrigan's] moment, which is a good way to think about it."
Gaider added that past decisions might shape what kind of Morrigan you encounter in Inquisition, "Yes. The various states that Morrigan can be in – of which there can be quite a few, because we don't know when to stop when it comes to making decisions – they're all recognized. Whether or not they have the ultimate effect like the kind of reactivity someone imagines, that depends on the person. But we do recognize them and it does play a role of varying degrees depending on the surroundings.
He added, "[Morrigan] has a human role in this plot, which I think may surprise some people because they might only think of her as a plot device. She has this big plot she's involved in, and while that's true to an extent, I'm taking her to a human place. That will make sense after the fact."
What do you think Morrigan's plot will involve? Theorise below.

HARARE – Folklore has it that back in the days when most black people could not read or write, an individual's birthday was identified by a particular event that had occurred during the year of their birth.
And as a result, when the time came for the native population to be issued with identification papers by the white colonial rulers, some people would tell the authorities that they were born in the year of the locusts, others would say in the year of the quelea birds, with others saying they were born during the famine.
Based on the above examples, a child born this year would have in future become known as the one who was born in the year of the football season that was characterized by the use of juju.
While the use of juju is something that has always been part of our football, this season teams have decided to do their shenanigans in the full glare of football followers unlike in the past when this was done under the cover of darkness.
A lot of hullabaloo has been said about Premiership debutants How Mine's over reliance on juju and recently their dressing room was forcefully opened to reveal a 'shrine' made up of burning candles and bottles filled with liquid matter.
While this may have come as a shock to many football followers, one veteran soccer administrator who declined to be named said this was a common practice amongst many local teams.
"The candles are lit just before kick – off and should burn for the entire 90 minutes.
"That player who usually enters the pitch after everyone else has gone in is the one who will be tasked with setting the candles alight," said the administrator.
He added that during his tenure at one of the country's top flight teams their opponents were tipped off by someone who advised them to delay their arrival at the stadium and they lost the match in the last 15 minutes after the candles had burned out.
"We had lit the candles just before three o'clock anticipating that the match would kick off soon after but the team we were playing only arrived just in time to avoid being walked over.
"The match kicked off late and as a result the candles burned out with some 15 minutes still left on the clock and lost the match during that period after conceding a couple of goals," the administrator said.
The Daily News caught up with How Mine head coach Philani Beefy Ncube who rubbished the juju accusations thrown at his team.
"When you think juju will work for you use it, but I think everyone even a n'anga will talk to God first before giving out muti (herbs). So to me the strongest person is God and it's in HIM that I believe.
"If juju really worked I don't think we would have signed players when the season started. We would have used the players who were in the team that won promotion plus juju and win the league. But because juju doesn't work we had to look for quality players who can compete in the PSL," Ncube said.
The former Coach of the Year instead accused his detractors of being cry babies who when they lose complain of juju and if they win they boast of being the best.
"Teams must work hard at training and stop thinking their big names will play for them. At How Mine we believe in God and we also believe in character, hard work and determination.
"Let those who want to use juju use it, as long they don't train, empower themselves technically and tactically and fight hard in the field of play we will always beat them. Bazahlala bekhala (they will always be cry-babies),"said Ncube.
Interestingly, the behavior exhibited by some team officials seems to point towards the use of both juju and spirituality concurrently.
For example, many top flight coaches claim to be devout Christians but their subordinates have been spotted engaging in suspicious rituals during warm-up.
In the past, people would speculate about the use of juju when teams refused to use designated entry points and gain entry into the stadium by scaling the fence.
It was also common to see a team doing their warm up outside of the pitch because they did not want to spring the trap that had been set by their opponents inside the pitch.
And stories are told about how some teams would spend late night vigils at the match venue to thwart the opposition from planting their own muti.
All these activities were shrouded in mystery as they took place away from the public eye but nowadays spells are being cast in broad daylight.
The sad thing is that this reliance on the supernatural happens at the expense of football players.
Former championship winning coach Roy Barreto fell out of favour with a local team after complaining to the media that the team was forking out a fortune to pay n'angas instead of paying players.
This scenario still prevails in the local game as a number of teams that owe players signing on fees religiously make payments to medicine men when they could easily achieve success by paying players their dues.

Carl Cheffers
Cheffers in Green Bay in 2013
|July 22, 1960
|United States
|NFL official (2000–present)
Carl Cheffers (born July 22, 1960) is an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) since the 2000 NFL season, who wears uniform number 51.[1]
Personal lifeEdit
Carl Cheffers is married and has two children.[2] Cheffers's father also was a football official and worked in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10).[1][2]
Officiating careerEdit
As a college student, Cheffers became interested in officiating through his father, and decided to work intramural sports to make additional income.[1] Enjoying the experience of student sports, he sought assistance from his father to officiate high school football games to begin a career.[1] Starting in 1980, he worked several high school playoff games, and two high school championship games.[1] By 1995, Cheffers began officiating in the Pac-10 where he worked for five seasons before being hired by the NFL.[2] During this time, he also worked in the Western Athletic Conference.[2]
Since entering the NFL, Cheffers has worked as a side judge, most recently on the crew headed by referee Larry Nemmers.[3] Cheffers was promoted to referee (crew chief) beginning with the 2008 NFL season following the retirement of Nemmers and referee Gerald Austin.[3]
In his promotion to referee, NFL officiating director Mike Pereira said of Cheffers, "Carl has been extremely successful on the field as a side judge. He is very knowledgeable of the rules, a good rules guy. Strong presence. He was part of Larry Nemmers' crew and he was clearly a crew leader. When we first saw Carl, we saw referee experience from him even though he had refereed basically at the small-college level."[4]
In 2010, Cheffers refereed a game between the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans, during which there was a convoluted play on a Texans' kickoff return in the 4th quarter that resulted in multiple offsetting penalties. Cheffers struggled to clearly announce the outcome of the play and the penalties, resulting in a memorable and humorous moment for the announcers and fans.[5]
Cheffers was selected to be the alternate referee of Super Bowl XLIX, which was played at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on February 1, 2015.[6]
In December 2015, Cheffers refereed the game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, which resulted in the "Miracle in Motown" play.[7]
On February 5, 2017, Cheffers was the referee for Super Bowl LI in Houston, between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons, which was the first (and remains the only) Super Bowl to be decided in an overtime period. New England won the game 34–28.[8][9] Previously during that same postseason, he had refereed the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs and was criticized by players for calling a holding penalty on Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Fisher during a crucial two-point conversion attempt, which resulted in the Steelers winning 18-16. Pereira supported the call.[10]
Cheffers' 2020 NFL officiating crew consists of umpire Mark Pellis, down judge Danny Short, line judge Jeff Seeman, field judge Nate Jones, side judge Eugene Hall, back judge Matt Edwards, replay official Billy Smith, and replay assistant Andrew Lambert.[11]

Most California employees know their supervisors can fire them with little advance notice, but in a state known to be especially employee friendly, what happens when they do?
A wrongful termination suit hit the news recently when, according to NBC, a jury awarded a former Chipotle manager almost $8 million. The long and short of the story is the jury believed the former manager was "victim of a scheme to defame her for filing a worker's compensation claim for a job-related injury to her wrist."
The Society for Human Resource Management may not find these results surprising, given their reminder to employers that "a jury represents an uncertain and potentially dangerous proposition." This fact, according to the SHRM, simply means fair and consistent treatment of involuntary terminations is essential to good business practices.
Some aspects human resources managers should consider prior to terminating an employee include questioning whether:
- Leadership addressed previous employee misconduct with appropriate disciplinary procedures
- Hiring supervisors gave the impression the position was secure with a long-term contract in place
- The employee had taken or was in the middle of a leave of absence protected by law
- Anti-discrimination laws protect the employee
- The worker has filed a previous claim against the workplace
Looking into the above prior to letting an employee go could protect managers from hasty decisions. The SHRM says when employers follow best practices in employer-employee relations, which include involuntary terminations, they have a better chance of warding off those jury trials mentioned previously, as well as preventing workplace violence or other types of misconduct from disgruntled former employees.

Sensational Kids Information
Sensational Kids operates as a child development centre, providing three key offerings for children and their families; subsidised services for children in need of additional support, a child development and learning store providing a range of skill building toys and therapy products, and professional development training workshops for those working with children with special needs. Collectively, these services are ensuring that the children benefitting from them can improve their skills and maximise their potential.

Experiencing these difficulties first-hand, our CEO and Founder Karen Leigh became frustrated with the lengthy waiting lists her family faced in Ireland, not to mention the €120 per hour fees they had to pay for private occupational therapy. In 2007, determined to make a difference, she set out to create an affordable and accessible service that families like hers could benefit from.

How to find like-minded people?
We live in a very diverse world. As a Digital Nomad, connecting with people with the same wavelength is one of the greatest thing that could happen to you. So, how do you find like-minded people?
Local Meetups- wherever you are, you'll probably meet people with the same passion as yours whether in business or digital nomads in local meetups. Connect with people and see if you have the same vision.
Digital Nomad/Coworking Spaces - go to where they hang out, this will give you a better chance of meeting a lot of people in the same and other industries.
Facebook - if you don't have much time to look for people then you can just look them up on Facebook, type in your city and digital nomad - something will probably come up. Start from there and maybe you can set a meet up sometime.
Google- Search for the "Top 10 Digital Nomad Destinations" and go there. Chances are you'll people who you can connect and make friends with.
The thing is, like-minded doesn't necessarily mean digital nomads, you can connect with people from other industries or alternatively, you can meetup per unit which is normally more valuable. Usually, people won't mind if you're digital nomad or not.
And don't get stuck in meeting people who are in the same industry as yours, find people in other industries with different strengths - broaden your circle and you'll find it beneficial as it will expand your knowledge and will give you useful insights.
Are you tired of people glorifying location independence or passive income? Why not focus on financial independence and multiple income streams instead. Lets follow that up with SOPs, outsourcing, automation, systems, taxes, marketing, persuasion, habits, philosophy, opportunities abroad, authority building, sales funnels, conversions and creating good work. Since we are not experts in everything you sometimes see us bring in other guests to fill those knowledge gaps.

Looking for something different to do on a Wednesday night? If you're an art lover or interested in supporting the local creative community, The Oxford Hotel has a night out for you. Art Smash is a unique innovation to promote local artists. A guest artist will create a piece right in front of you, in the downstairs bar. Not only do you get to watch the work unfold but you can bid for the piece if you like it enough to take home. Here's the twist; if it doesn't get sold in 2 hours for more than the secret reserve price, it gets destroyed on the spot!
Obviously you need to be sipping on cocktails while watching the magic happen. The Oxford has an impressive menu of classics, old favourites and innovative drinks. We tried the Bees Knees, a warming and soothing mix of Gin, lemon juice and honey. The mellow concoction will take the edge off a wintery night.
I always love a Bellini, who doesn't love their bubbles with a twist of something fun. The Oxford has a decent list of Sparkling based cocktails using Dunes & Greene Sparkling Wine combined with a variety of Liquor. Strawberry, Peach and Raspberry are on the menu but tonight we tried the Fig Bellini that used the liquor Esprit De Figues to add sweet caramel notes to the wine. Garnished with fresh blueberries this drink is a steal at $10.
I then opted for the Lemon Fizz, what's not to love about a combination of limoncello, sparkling wine, fresh raspberries and basil. Despite it being the midst of winter, with a warm coat on and this cocktail in hand it was very easy to pretend it was a hot January afternoon.
With your cultural needs met and a few drinks down, you're going to need something to nibble on. We started with the Arancini Balls – standard pub fare that is too often abused and disappointing. These mushroom and feta arancini were first class. The crumbed, fried outer shell was delightfully crispy and salted perfectly. Inside a risotto that was cheesy, packed full of herbs and chunky mushroom. I'm happy to report there was no sign of the gluggy, gluey, stodgy centre that makes me think twice about ordering an arancini. But this wasn't even the best part! The risotto balls are served with what is described on the menu as "onion jam-jam" and aioli. Now I'm speculating here, but I assume its called jam-jam because it's so much better than just jam. This thick onion creation was somewhere between a sauce and a jam. It is sticky and sweet, the onion slices retain bite and shape but swim in an earthy reduction that was pungent with balsamic and coated the ball nicely.
I followed this up with the Crunchy Chicken Burger, its nero bun making it stand out from the crowd. Encased in the black bun is a succulent chicken thigh that lives up to its promise of being crunchy. Paired with ripe avocado, a slice of fresh tomato, lettuce and sweet chilli and a dollop of wasabi mayonnaise added a subtle heat. A well rounded burger that was fresh, delicious and importantly, not greasy.
There are few hotels in Adelaide as iconic as The Oxford Hotel. It guarantees a good feed, great drinks and now you can combine your interest in art with your food and drink for a great night out. Art Smash is held every second Wednesday at The Oxford Hotel.
Thank you to all the staff at The Oxford Hotel for a great night of food and drink, and to Girl About Town for hosting another great event.
Words by Kate Wilkinson

This day did not start out in the best of ways. I get to work, plug in my radio, and am listening to some music when suddenly the music freezes in one spot. This has happened on the rare occasion with my radio and a reboot fixes it. Not this time however as I am greeted with "Error, please plug into a PC via USB to recover."
Great, so my radio is basically dead until I can get home and fix it. I go home, plug it in, and run the recovery program. I get to the screen to start the recovery and bang "Your radio cannot be recovered, please call Sirius at XXX-XXX-XXXX for further assistance.
I call up the tech support, we try a few things, but it turns out that my radio is now a paperweight. I can't even get it replaced under the warranty because guess what, it expired a month ago. So the guy looks and offers me a refurbished Stiletto 100 for $150. Since my only other options are to downgrade to a new Stiletto 10 for $150, buy a brand new Stiletto 100 for $200, or go insane and spend $320 on the next-generation Stiletto (AKA Stiletto 2) I decide to just get the refurbished.
However, something didn't sit right with me after I had placed the order, based on some earlier research I had been doing. I went over to Sirius' website and looked under their "reconditioned radios" and lo and behold, a refurbished Stiletto 1oo for $120. That's $30 less than what I had just been charged over the phone.
I got back on the phone immediately with Sirius' general customer service, the first person said he couldn't do anything to cancel it because the warranty department had placed the order. I then got my E-mail receipt for the radio, and there was a phone number, so I called that one. I explained to the woman on the phone that I had just had it ordered on the phone because my other Stiletto was now a brick, but I saw it was cheaper on the website. She said that if it had shipped already she couldn't cancel it, but she would go on ahead and take a look at my original order. Before she did the cancellation, she asked about the price I was looking at, to make sure I hadn't forgotten about tax on my order. I told her that I was looking at the Sirius website and it showed a refurbished Stiletto 100 for $120. She said "Oh I would be on the phone canceling this order and going through the website too!" She was able to cancel it since the order had been placed so recently (15 minutes ago).
I went through the website and started to place the order, then I saw the field for "promo code." One Google search later and I found a working 15% off code, so after tax, I am replacing my Stiletto for $110.
It sucks that I have to go through with this, including the fact that I lost all of the music I recorded off of the radio, but at least I'll have a working unit, I don't have to go through the hassle of changing out my car kit again, I have a 1 year warranty on this unit in case it blows up, and I may have an extended warranty via my credit card.
If by some miracle I get my bricked unit to work, I'll have to work to recover the music.
