Tulsi Gabbard, US Congresswoman, Hawaii
Tulsi Gabbard has served as the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's second congressional district since 2013. She was born in American Samoa but moved to Hawaii at age two. At 21, Gabbard was the youngest state legislator ever elected in the history of Hawaii. Less than a year after she was elected, Gabbard enlisted in the Hawaii Army National Guard. When her brigade combat team was activated for duty in Iraq, Gabbard didn't hesitate: she left office to deploy with her unit. She served for eighteen months as a soldier in a medical unit outside of Baghdad. When she returned, she worked with Senator Daniel Akaka to help pass legislature and provide services for a new generation of veterans. She later deployed for a second time, serving as a military police platoon leader in Kuwait. Along with Tammy Duckworth, she's the first female combat veteran in the U.S. Congress. She is also the first American Samoan and Hindu to serve as a member of the U.S. Congress. She practices yoga and still makes time to surf in Hawaii.

Hi Jon and welcome to Beauty and Lace.
Please tell us a little about how you met and formed the band?
Frontman Jon travelled to Melbourne in 2009 (from Perth); he packed his life into a Tarago and headed across to the arts capital of Australia (controversial, we know!) to meet some other like-minded musos. Jamie was studying at Melbourne Uni while Jon was dishing out coffee. Jeremy (our phenomenal bass player) came to us through Jamie, Gabe and Shaun joined the team pretty soon after, and Lucy (violin, vocals, keys) joined most recently in 2014.
Where did the name come from?
We usually go away for pre-production and writing vacations in a secluded cabin down in the Otways in a placed called Forrest. We stayed in a cabin down there and when we needed to feel inspired, we would take walks down to the nearby waterfall. The name Forest Falls just stuck – two simple words that together took on a whole new meaning for our band.
Can you tell us a little about your sound?
Five-part harmonies are pretty much the centre of our being. We find it a bit hard to genre-ify our sound, but we essentially mix elements of alt-folk, pop, and shoegaze. It's anthemic, engaging, powerful music to play, and we try to give our audiences the same experience. There's nothing more thrilling than singing rich, lush soaring harmonies onstage with your best friends to a full room.
The new single is Hounds, can you tell us about it?
We love our new single! Recorded and produced as part of the new EP alongside the amazing Wayne Connolly (Paul Dempsey, Josh Pyke and Cloud Control) at Alberts Studio in Sydney, it's a laid-back, and hook-laden track with incredible bass lines. There's five-part, doo-wop-esque harmonies and a bit of a soul-peppered vibe happening. It's so much fun to play. The lyrics to Hounds were written in a huff. A hound can be unpredictable; it can be your best friend or bare its teeth, and I suppose Jon tells us he was bearing his teeth at the time of its writing.
Hounds is the first single off the EP of the same name, what can you tell us about it?
Also produced by Wayne Connolly, the Hounds EP touches on the themes of love, relationships, compromise, confusion and lust. All these things are worth capturing and singing about and all different kinds of emotion can be harnessed and used as motivation or inspiration in our songwriting – there's always a song to be made! To be honest, this release is one we're incredibly proud of – it's like a welcome visit from a long lost friend, nostalgic, heartfelt and authentic. We've been unafraid to bite the bullet with this one. We've been writing new stuff and falling in love with other instruments and sounds and have realised there's nothing standing in our way.
How did you come to work with Wayne Connolly?
We really liked the sounds that were coming out of Wayne's Studio at Alberts; think Boy and Bear, Husky, The Paper Kites. Originally we thought perhaps Wayne would be out of our league, but we took the plunge and thought, why not just ask? He listened to our demos and signed us up straightaway. It was such a confidence booster knowing he wanted to work with us and our music. We were stoked.
You're a Melbourne band, why did you choose to record in Sydney?
We were happy to travel wherever if it meant working with the right producer. But being away from home also gave us a chance to be totally immersed in the music without having external factors involved.
Where does the inspiration for your songs come from?
It really depends. Sometimes the lyrics come first, other times the music comes first. Whatever the case, our songs are the result of allowing ourselves to delve deep into whatever feeling that we are feeling and be okay with it. It's a myth that creative juices flow all the time. Sometimes you just have to sit down and finish that song like it's the last thing you'll ever do. But the sense of release when you do? That's when the creativity starts to flow again.
You are heading out on tour to celebrate the release, what can audiences expect?
Good vibes and beautiful tunes to take home in your heads with you, and hopefully, your car stereos! We always put a huge emphasis on putting on a show. An experience. We love performing together, and aim for our connection with our audience to be big, bold and powerful, even with the more softly-spoken, intricate songs. Come and see for yourself – we'd love to have you.
This run of shows is in Victoria and Sydney, are there plans to tour more widely?
Now that's a secret, but if you keep up to date with our blog on our website (www.forestfallsband.com) or on Facebook, you might see a few secret shows pop up.
You can follow Forest Falls on their website and Facebook.
My blurb went missing… so now I have to bring you a new one. One that is a little broader too.
I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years I have broadened my horizons considerably.
I inhale music, hair metal that satisfies my inner bogan is where my musical passion lies, but again I've been exposed to lots of different music I wouldn't normally listen to and have broadened those horizons also.
In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews.
Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS! Reading, writing, speaking, listening – if it's got words I'm there!

Doing a good job does not only depend on adequate machinery. Processing the material in a way that satisfies our customer´s needs requires more than that. In the first place, human know-how is the most important aspect. Learning never stops.
Firstly, I would like to describe my job in more detail. My main tasks are to produce plastic parts to the hundredth of a millimetre and to grind the prefabricated parts in shape. I change anything, that does not run smoothly enough so that after doing some post-processing, everything runs like a clockwork.
Those steps take place at the external cylindrical grinding machine of the type TOS Hostivar UB 40 – 2000 CNC. I can process products of a maximum diameter of 400 mm and a maximum length of 2 m. What can be produced using this machine, are conical, cambered as well as cylindrical workpieces.
Entering wrong or unsuitable coordinates or not being concentrated enough results in dimensions, forms and surfaces differing from the plan. Therefore, the workpiece cannot be used. Differences of only some hundredths of a millimetre can lead to huge problems.
Processing the different materials like Asmathane, Asmaprene and Vulkollan is demanding considering the various degrees of hardness, the so-called Shore degrees of hardness (a measurement for the hardness of plastics). Programming the machine in a way, that a range of materials with different degrees of hardness can be processed, are all challenges man and machine have to face.
Appreciation of me, the material as well as participation in decision making are very important aspects of my work at asma when working in the field of moulding. Those are all factors, that bring a lot of variety to my job, which is demanding and never makes me feel bored. These are also reasons for why I have been working at asma for almost 15 years now.
Besides machines, we should also invest in employees, human capital, to be perfectly equipped for changes in the market and remain successful.

How Will the FCC's Tom Wheeler Get Past His Image Problem?
His detractors think he's conflict of interest incarnate
FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has an image problem. The New Yorker's article about him on the occasion of his confirmation last year was called "Obama's Bad Pick." In the piece, John Cassidy observed that Wheeler seemed bright and independent. "[T]o some extent, though," he wrote, "you are your résumé," and Wheeler's résumé includes high-level posts at cable lobbying organizations. John Oliver memorably said in June that hiring Wheeler for the position at the notoriously mismanaged commission "was the equivalent of needing a babysitter and hiring a dingo."
Oddly, out of all the disparaging things said about Wheeler since his appointment, that appears to be the one that stung. Sighing, Wheeler took a question on Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment (which dealt with net neutrality) at a public comment session and said, "I would like to state for the record that I'm not a dingo."
He seems to have set out to prove it. Last month, Wheeler delivered whatever the telecommunications equivalent of a rabble-rousing speech is, citing the virtues of regulation and observing that "three-quarters of American homes have no competitive choice for the essential infrastructure for 21st-century economics and democracy."
This is hardly the kind of rhetoric hoped for by Comcast and AT&T, both of which praised Wheeler's appointment ("an inspired pick" to take on "outdated laws" and "antiquated rules," breathed AT&T). But if Wheeler's speechifying is to mean anything, he's got to weigh in on AT&T's battle with municipal cable companies and the Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger, and it looks like he's going to do just that.
Comcast and TWC generously told the FCC that they will try to stay below a 30 percent market share when they merge (they control more than one-third of the market together); Comcast is looking to pull out of Detroit, where it announced last week it will be leaving its 2.5 million customers. That doesn't exactly jibe with the FCC's "broadband for all" mandate. Now, the agency has paused the informal 180-day review period until Oct. 29, during which time stakeholders and the public will be able to comment on the $45 billion deal.
Both are crucial moments for Wheeler and his legacy as chairman. Will the FCC create the largest cable company in the market and define competition as narrowly as MSOs want? Or will it punish what the public overwhelmingly derides as the worst customer service in the country?

UK: An 'action plan' to revise procedures when trains are stranded between stations for extended periods was announced by Southeastern and Network Rail on August 23, following the publication of an independent report into an incident on March 2 when nine trains became stranded during bad weather and passengers evacuated themselves onto third-rail electrified track around Lewisham in southeast London.
The report which the operator and infrastructure manager jointly commissioned from Southwood Rail Consulting and Arthur D Little is separate to investigations which are being undertaken by the Railway Accident Investigation Branch and Office of Rail & Road. It found that:
- the rail industry did not manage the incident in a way that put the needs of passengers first, leading to 'unacceptable conditions' on trains which had no or non-functioning toilets;
- the signalling team did not recognise the significance of the incident and react quickly to prevent escalation;
- command and control arrangements were inadequate;
- communications were inadequate;
- a lack of situational awareness meant existing procedures were not followed.
The report makes six recommendations, which NR and Southeastern said they would implement:
- strengthening decision making during bad weather;
- measures to prevent the build-up of ice on the conductor rail;
- reinforced measures to support decision making and communication with passengers to prevent uncontrolled self-evacuation;
- strengthening the ability of staff to prevent stranding incidents and respond rapidly to prevent escalation;
- updating procedures, with a focus on passenger welfare;
- strengthening and testing command and control arrangements.
Network Rail is investigating the provision of conductor rail heating at key locations which although not prone to freezing could potentially benefit. A trial of a more effective anti-icer on snow and ice treatment trains will also be carried out, and Southeastern is exploring the use of ice-breaker shoes on some passenger trains.
Network Rail and Southeastern are working with specialist consultants on planning and preparation for severe weather, including examining the criteria needed to decide if trains should run.
Southeastern is examining engineering changes to extend train battery life so that communications systems and lighting could stay functioning for longer when third rail power is unavailable.
'We sincerely apologise to passengers for what was an unpleasant and distressing experience', said Southeastern Managng Director David Statham and Network Rail's South East Route Managing Director John Halsall in a joint statement. 'Our staff worked exceptionally hard in extremely difficult circumstances, but the number of trains involved in this incident made it difficult to co-ordinate a response.'
They said they would 'like to emphasise that the safest option for passengers is to remain on board and await help, even in the exceptionally unusual scenario of a train getting stuck between stations.'

Mr Fairweather says he has emailed famed human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, asking if he will take up the cause of Madang landowners in their dispute with the PMIZ (Pacific Marine Industrial Zone).
The MP, a member of the PPP group in government and Member for Sumkar, is named among 11 defendants in a case lodged in the court by Trade Commerce and Industry Secretary John Andrias.
Mr Andreas is seeking to prevent the defendants from meeting landowners and doing anything to hinder the US$300 million fisheries project.
The project has been talked about for 20 years and has been linked to three different investors, all from China.
The project has about 216 hectares of what used to be a Catholic mission plantation and will reportedly include the demolition of two Madang Harbour islands to clear the way for scores of fishing vessels going and coming from the project when it gets going.
Mr Fairweather tells Loop PNG that he has sent emails to London=based Australian lawyer Geoffrey Robertson and is awaiting a response.
He and co defendants say their right to free speech and who to talk with are at risk because of the government's legal action and wish to engage a highly qualified legal expert to defend them.
"He is a busy man and I am still waiting for a response but am hopeful he will take up our cause,'' the MP says.
The Andreas action is due back in court on July 21.
Meanwhile, Mr Fairweather plans to meet Riwo villagers tomorrow, at 10am, to discuss issues.

Robert Smith has writer's block, but don't worry Cure fans:
"Thirty years in the music business is no prevention for writers' block. That is the problem facing the Cure frontman Robert Smith, who is struggling to come up with lyrics to some of the 33 new songs the band has recorded for its 14th studio album. The record's release has already been pushed back to May and the group goes on tour in March, so the pressure is on for the 47-year-old, who does not want to his legacy to be an aging band that gradually fades into the background.'I want them (the words) to mean something, it's not enough that they rhyme,' Smith told Reuters in a recent interview. "I find myself stopping short and thinking I've done this before, and better. 'I've given myself a deadline to finish the words before Christmas.'"
Christmas is an Advanced deadline for Smith to give himself. Doesn't he know that the Cure are supposed to be gloomy, while Christmas is cheerful? One might expect a Halloween deadline, but not Christmas. Overt Cure fans would probably be surprised that Christmas is even a part of his reality, but we all know better than that. And speaking of Christmas, hating it is Overt, as is complaining that Christmas ads appear before Thanksgiving.

Since the original Galaxy Note that Samsung launched back in 2012, the larger-than-life smartphone has been known for excellent battery life. With a larger battery comes better battery life, however as displays are getting more and more dense with Quad HD resolutions and such, batteries have to work harder than ever before. The Galaxy Note has steadily evolved over the past few years, and with the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4 sporting similar features and design the Galaxy Note 5 is a big deal for those upgrading from the Galaxy Note 3 or looking for something different. Battery life is a big deal for the Galaxy Note range and with a 3,000 mAh battery under the hood, which is non-replaceable, have Samsung lost their way?
Inside the Galaxy Note 5 is a 3,000 non-removable battery, just as there is inside of the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge and the new plus-size model. For some, this might be a turn off, but Samsung have reassured fans that it'll still get the same sort of battery life that they're looking for. Even if it doesn't, the Galaxy Note 5 features both 'Fast Charging' and 'Fast Wireless Charging'. In fact, the Galaxy Note 5 will fully charge, using a compatible wireless charger, in just two hours. Samsung say this is the "fastest" they've ever shipped, and just like the previous models Samsung launched this year, the Galaxy Note 5 supports all wireless charging standards.
Samsung didn't mention exactly the sort of usage you can expect from the Galaxy Note 5, but with a large battery at 3,000 mAh and an octa-core CPU, the Galaxy Note 5 should last the distance. We'll be able to get a better test of one once we've gotten hands-on with a Galaxy Note 5. Samsung's latest Galaxy Note will be available next week on August 21st. Where Samsung hopes to make up for a non-removable battery is with the aforementioned fast-charging and of course the inclusion of 4GB of RAM, making this one of the most powerful smartphones available on the market.

Graffiti walls photographed: 1 (good); Grunge building bought: 1 (good); Freebie incense stick bought: 1(good)
On eternal quest for new bangles and necklaces discovered yet another Japanese sim. To some extent had all usual suspects, but also a few new, and as ever interesting to wander round builds. This was place selling urban buildings and various other bits and pieces including free incense sticks. Also had this wall of graffiti which reminded me of excellent blog of colleague Dr Joolz. Is interesting question whether graffiti will have been created by creator of building or whether is photo of someone else's graffiti.
When got back to Infolit iSchool, put grunge building next to Nigl's tiki, will have to see whether he notices.
Realise have not mentioned actual purchase of bangles (1 set) and necklace (pretty with blue stone and key), above, but you can just take it as read that some purchasing of adornment takes place whether mentioned or not.

Halloween is just around the corner. Before families select the perfect disguise for their little ones, Trans Am Ambulance Services shares costume safety tips to help ensure all of the scary stuff is all in fun.
Each year, more than 85 percent of families plan to celebrate Halloween by dressing in festive attire. In 2015, parents spent an average of $95 per household on costumes and accessories. However, 40 percent of parents unknowingly allowed one or more unsafe items to be part of their child's costume, including masks, long or loose clothing and sharp objects, according to safekids.org.
"Halloween is an exciting event for all ages," said Todd Reisner, general manager of Trans Am Ambulance Services. "Dressing up is a big part of the fun, but it also can leave children more vulnerable to injury. Costume safety, especially when trick-or-treating, is crucial for a safe holiday."
Trans Am offers these Halloween costume safety guidelines:
• Consider that children will be in almost constant motion. If they cannot move well in the costume, it may be too bulky or have too many accessories. Adjust the costume as needed.
• Masks, hoods and hats often make a costume complete but make safe choices. Try on accessories beforehand to ensure your child can see and breathe well.
• All costumes should be brightly colored so as to easily be seen by motorists. Adding reflective tape to the front and back of a costume is a recommended safety feature.
• Give your child glow sticks and a lightweight flashlight. These not only make them visible to motorists, but also aid in navigation through neighborhoods.
• Avoid the use of sandals, flip-flops or open-toed shoes because of tripping hazard. Tennis shoes are best for trick-or-treating.
• Check the tag to ensure your child's costume is flame-resistant.
• Ensure all Halloween makeup is nontoxic and remove it before bedtime to prevent skin irritation.
• Put a sticker or some other form of identification with your name and phone number on your child in case you get separated.
About Trans Am Ambulance Services
For more than 30 years, the Reisner family and the excellent Trans Am staff have provided the highest quality ambulance service to Cattaraugus County and the Village and Town of Cuba in Allegany County in west Upstate New York. The company also serves customers in McKean and Potter counties in northwestern Pennsylvania. Every Trans Am medical vehicle is staffed with highly skilled certified paramedics and EMTs who are trained in the latest lifesaving technology and emergency protocols. Trans Am is integrally connected to the fabric of the community. We understand we serve the community best when we support causes and events that matter to those who live here.
Trans Am is a regional branch of the national Priority Ambulance network.

Exeter Preview: Lochnagar poised to follow-up
Lochnagar looked a handicapper to keep onside when bolting up last time out and can defy a penalty to follow-up in the 2m 1f hurdle at Exeter today (1.20).
The gelding had some useful form on the flat when trained in Germany, winning twice and being placed on several occasions to earn an official rating of 80.
Lochnagar then joined trainer Venetia Williams at the start of the year and shaped with bags of promise in his first four runs over hurdles without being knocked about.
The five-year-old particularly caught the eye on his third start when fourth of 16 to the now 130-rated Chase The Wind at Wincanton, and also ran really well when fifth of 14 to Taj Badalandabad at Chepstow on seasonal reappearance.
Lochnagar was allotted an opening handicap mark of 112 on the back of those efforts and made a mockery of it when sluicing up by nine lengths at Uttoxeter.
The son of Sholokhov travelled strongly throughout at the head of affairs and pulled readily clear to win easing down with any amount in hand.
It was a performance which suggested Lonchnagar was well ahead of the assessor, and it's no surprise to see connections turn him out quickly under a 7lb penalty as he is due to race off 13lb higher in future engagements.
That makes Lochnagar 6lb "well-in" at the weights, and with conditions fine and Aidan Coleman in the saddle he is going to be very hard to beat.
In the extended 2m 5f amateur riders' handicap that closes the card (3.50), Aroseforoscar can go well at a big price.
The Chris Down trained mare hinted at ability in maiden and novice hurdles, but failed to shine in her first three starts in handicaps after being allotted and opening mark of 90.
However that resulted in the five-year-old falling in the weights and the daughter of Oscar duly put in a much improved performance last time out over course and distance when fourth to Bredon Hill Lad off today's mark of 82.
Aroseforoscar raced strongly at the head of affairs until getting headed three out, and was beaten only six lengths after blundering badly at the final flight.
She now meets the winner on 4lb better terms and is also 5lb better off with the third home Unefille De Guye.
That should enable Aroseforoscar to be really competitive, and she looks weighted to run a huge race.
12.50: Nitrogen
1.20: Lochnagar (NAP)
1.50: Brick Red
2.20: Midnight Belle
2.50: Olympian Boy
3.20: Miss Estela
3.50: Aroseforoscar (NB)

Carol Figueroa, who recently graduated with a double major in linguistcs and computer science, will be starting a master's in speech and language processing at the University of Edinburgh next year. Not too long ago, she sent this update to WHASC:
I completed my Linguistics degree last Spring. I stayed two extra quarters to complete my BA in Computer Science and have now graduated. I'm writing to share some good news: I have been accepted to the University of Edinburgh's MSc in speech and language processing program. I was also accepted to Brandeis University's MA program in computational linguistics, University of Washington's MS in computational linguistic, and University of Southern California's MS in computer science. Making my decision was tough. I had been dreaming about attending Brandeis' program ever since Susan sent an email about the program when I was in my second or third year. Ultimately, I have decided to attend Edinburgh's Speech and Language Processing program. I want to give a special thanks to Professor Matt Wagers, Professor Marilyn Walker, and Professor Linda Werner for writing all of my letters of recommendation.
After submitting her report, Carol sent us some more good news. She has just been hired as a Speech and Language Researcher for Amazon Lab 126. She writes that "this will help me save up money before moving to Scotland!"

How can stable isotope analysis help identify migrants to medieval cities like William Westoby?
In Step 2.8, we learned that stable isotopes are incorporated into our bones and teeth through the food we eat and water we drink.
The balance of strontium isotopes contained in rocks and soils varies according to geology (or rock types) (Figure 1). Plants that grow on a specific geological substrate will take up the same strontium isotope 'signature', as will animals that eat the plants, or humans that eat either the plants or the animals or both. In a similar way, oxygen isotopes in drinking water (which is ultimately sourced from rainwater), vary with location, mostly to do with climate (Figure 2). Humans therefore carry the isotopic signatures of the places where they source their food and drink in their body tissues.
Unlike bone, which continually renews itself during life, teeth do not remodel once they are formed. They therefore retain the isotopic signatures of the food and drink consumed in early in life. By comparing the isotope signatures in the tooth of an individual with those expected for the location they were buried (and assuming that people in the past consumed mostly local food and water), archaeologists can assess whether an individual moved since childhood. For example, oxygen and strontium isotope analysis of the medieval Bishops of Whithorn on the South West Scottish coast showed that they had all moved to Whithorn, most likely from inland Scotland.
Lead isotope and concentration analysis is a relatively new method for tracing migration. We know teeth are an accurate recorder of childhood lead exposure, and that, in England, lead levels differ between pre- and post-Roman populations, rural and urban dwellers, and modern environments with different levels of industrial pollution. Lead concentration analysis is ideally suited to discriminate adolescents migrating from rural areas to medieval towns such as York. Selecting teeth that develop early in life (ie the first molar) allows us to explore the movement of teenagers such as William Westoby.

Figure 2: Oxygen isotope values for modern European drinking water

In later medieval England, we have growing evidence that young people moved from rural to urban areas, and from north to south seeking work. London attracted immigrants from across Britain (eg Devon, Cornwall, York, Wales and Scotland), Europe and the world, and by the mid-sixteenth century, around 90% of London's apprentices were migrants. But migration was also local, for example, after the Black Death (AD 1348), York attracted 42% of migrants from a 20-mile radius. Using stable isotope analysis and lead concentrations, we have been successful in tracing the movement of people from near and far in the past.
Exciting as this new area of research is, there are some limitations. Isotopes only very rarely tell us 'where somebody is from'; rather, they serve to exclude 'where somebody is definitely not from' (ie the place they were buried) and allow us to characterise their place of origin in rather broad terms. There are many areas of the world that share the same isotopic signature. For example, because of the Gulf Stream, Britain has a relatively mild climate and rainwater in Western England has the same oxygen isotope composition as many areas in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, where similar geologies can also be found. Consequently, and while we know that many individuals travelled to medieval England from other parts of Europe, these individuals' movements may be invisible to us. Similarly, environmental lead concentrations can tell us if an individual moved from the North to the South of England, but it is harder for us to identify individuals who moved from one Northern town to another, or from eastern England to London as they share similar lead signatures.
To learn more, take a look at the video by Dr Janet Montgomery (University of Durham) one of the team members working on the medieval Teenagers project.

- 2 cups bonito flakes
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup usukuchi (light) soy sauce
- ¼ cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
- 1 Tbsp. ichimi togarashi
- Zest and juice of 4 Meyer lemons or regular lemons (about ½ cup juice)
- 2 bunches hakurei turnips with tops
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)
Ingredient Info
- Ichimi togarashi, a red-pepper-forward seasoning mix, can be found at Japanese markets, in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets, and online.
Recipe Preparation
Preheat oven to 425°. Grind bonito flakes in a spice mill or blender until finely ground (you should have about 2 Tbsp.). Bring ground bonito, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and togarashi to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until reduced by a third, 12–15 minutes. Pour dressing into a small bowl; cover and chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
Meanwhile, separate tops from turnips. Trim stems from leaves; discard. Coarsely chop leaves. Cut turnips into 1" wedges. Toss turnips and leaves with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season lightly with salt (the dressing is salty). Roast, tossing halfway through, until leaves are wilted and turnips have taken on a touch of color, 12–15 minutes.
Transfer turnips and leaves to a platter; spoon some of the dressing over (you'll have extra). Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Meet Aron Adams
MENTFITTZ Limited founder
Hello and welcome to MENTFITTZ, the positive mental health platform and home to MENTFITTZ, the CPD accredited behaviour, wellbeing instructors course and flagship streaming and DVD fitness wellbeing programme designed for those suffering from anxiety and depression.
After suffering from anxiety and depression for many years and to be told by my GP back in 2010 to simply "get some rest " after seeking help for my own anxiety and depression, along with over 15 years of Martial Arts, fitness experience and a Diploma in Understanding of Mental health, I decided to create MENTFITTZ.
An exciting and energetic workout programme based on my own personal journey,struggles and experiences of mental health issues over the last few years, MENTFITTZ allows the participant to understand, relate to and manage their own anxiety or depression whilst getting a fantastic workout at the same time all from the comfort of their own home!
Understanding that many people with anxiety or depression want to get fit and exercise but put off by busy image and photo conscious Gyms all whilst having first hand experience myself, I wanted to create a fitness related programme that could be used at home which would allow my clients to build their confidence gradually over time with mental health and well-being at heart.
I also wanted to create a motivational programme having known and experienced the affects of intrusive thoughts myself giving my clients a point in the right direction whist awaiting on sometimes long waiting list for more traditional treatments such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
As a society, we carry so much weight on our shoulders, pressure to be perfect, Social media does not help, especially the younger generation just finding themselves in this world who feel like they have to be this certain being just to feel accepted and gain a few "likes"
This world of being a perfectionist for other people only damages your own mental health in the long run as your always trying to compete with the rest of the crowd which is one of the main reasons i took the decision to record MENTFITTZ raw, this means there was no rehearsals, just pure freestyle in the workout and voice over meaning everything was live coming from my own heart and experiences of anxiety and its forms, O.C.D,Panic attacks and Depression, sure, there maybe the odd uncorrected wording, text or drill, but hey, this is the world we live in, no one is perfect, we all make mistakes, its what you do with those mistakes that really matter.
You know, experiences with mental health issues only made me stronger,wiser and more equipped to deal with this big wide world we live in, so i guess i owe a big thank you to my O.C.D, Panic attacks and Depression for getting me where i am today.
Based in Southampton, Bristol or surround? why not book a MENTFITTZ 1 2 1 session with a fully insured and enhanced checked Instructor.
With site bookings/enrichment days (from 5th July 2020 onwards ), motivational speeches, 1 2 1 sessions and an amazing MENTFITTZ DVD and digital programme out now, we are sure you will find MENTFITTZ useful in the mission of helping as many people as possible suffering from anxiety or depression.

Iowans Are Leaning But Haven't Committed
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
Before New Hampshire, there is Iowa. The caucuses are five weeks from today, and the outcome could make a decisive impact on the rest of the campaign. NPR's David Welna has been talking with Iowa voters this week. And he found that despite the months of campaigning there, many say they are still undecided.
DAVID WELNA: Polls may show Iowans backing one candidate or another. But what I found on the ground there was virtually everyone I talked to claimed to be leaning one way or another, but not ready to make a commitment. Mark Haleb(ph) is the curator of a big new exhibit on Iowa's caucuses. I asked him - what in the world is with Iowa's undecided voters?
Mr. MARK HALEB (Curator, Iowa caucuses): They get it. They know how to do it. And they're not going to make up their mind.
WELNA: Are they just being cagey?
Mr. HALEB: I don't think it's being cagey. I think it's being that they take it that seriously.
WELNA: One of those dithering voters is Marlene Erhardt. She's a 73-year-old Republican from West Des Moines. And she plans to caucus for the very first time, January 3rd.
Ms. MARLENE ERHARDT (Des Moines resident): I'm waiting until everybody has their say on everything and then we'll go to the caucus and see what happens.
WELNA: Are you leaning toward anyone?
Ms. ERHARDT: Well, yes.
(Soundbite of laughter)
WELNA: May I ask who that is?
Ms. ERHARDT: No. I may change, you know? A woman could always change her mind.
WELNA: Last Sunday evening in Iowa Falls, a crowd filled the local fire station to hear Hillary Clinton. And as they waited for her to show up, Christy Vilsack, the state's former first lady, acknowledged Clinton would not necessarily be preaching to the converted.
Ms. CHRISTY VILSACK (Former state first lady, Iowa): I know that some of you haven't decided yet, and some of you won't decide until you walk in the door. Some of you may not ever decide, I don't know. It's - we've got so many great candidates this time around. Anyone of ours is better than all of theirs put together. So it is a difficult process.
WELNA: One of those undecided voters was local family physician Francis Pisney.
Dr. FRANCIS PISNEY (Local family physician): I'm kind of leaning towards Hillary, and I'm here to be persuaded.
WELNA: And after listening to the senator for nearly an hour, this was Pisney's less than decisive verdict.
Dr. PISNEY: I think she made a good case for her program - a lot of food for thought. I'm going to weigh that and try to make an important decision.
WELNA: You're still undecided?
Dr. PISNEY: Yeah.
WELNA: There were also those who said they have settled on a candidate, but still seemed open to changing their minds. Here's retired school teacher Gale Romiller(ph).
Ms. GALE ROMILLER (Retired school teacher): I'm a Joe Biden supporter.
WELNA: So why did you come here?
Ms. ROMILLER: Because my husband's a Hillary supporter, and he was working. He thinks if I came I would - I was impressed. I really was. I thought she had handled a lot of the issues very well. And I'm pleased to know what she's going to do with them. So…
WELNA: Meanwhile, at a Barack Obama rally in Des Moines, voter Annett Brown(ph) was also struggling with how to vote January 3rd.
Ms. ANNETT BROWN: I haven't made my mind up yet, because - I mean, all that my feel is good. They say work independently and for other people. But she's gotten my friend, yeah. You're going to see Hillary and Obama. I don't know what that means. What? That's what it is.
WELNA: Even caucus exhibit curator Haleb admits he has yet to make up his mind.
Mr. HALEB: And most people, I guarantee you, will not truly decide until that week or the day they're walking in there.
WELNA: David Welna, NPR News.
BLOCK: Do you have something you'd like to ask the Democratic contenders? If so, go to npr.org/debate and post your questions. We'll put some of them to the candidates on December 4th during the NPR-Iowa Public Radio debate from Des Moines.

Can? Or can't?
If you mean can't, it's because customisable PDF downloads are one of the features restricted to "pro" members.
PDF Download Answered
Hi guys I don't know where to post so I decided to post here. When I am looking at a instuctable and when I click the download PDF I can download it can someone tell me why this is I tried it on 3 different PC's
Can? Or can't?
What is that supposed to mean. I cant download PDF's either - none of em. This is an awful site and I want my PRO membership canceled immediately. How do I do that?
You only just joined today - give the system a chance to realise you've joined.
I sympathise with your comments. The daft thing is that I was greeted with "Congratulations your payment has been accepted and you now have awsome PRO Membership" - thi is a completely unnecessary message. Better would be "Please wait for an hour or two before logging on"
This isn't a problem I've encountered personally, but you were posting in the middle of the day, US time, when traffic is high on the net.
It's now two hours since you said it didn't work - does it work now?
Yes - I paid again!
well I can't even download the regular PDF on the site for the instuctable.
i'M A PRO MEMBER AND I CAN'T DOWNLOAD PDF FILES EITHER.

I really love most of the cute, retro-infused outfits here. And that's partly because it's not trying to shock me, nor crack me over the head with its own perceived sartorial intelligence. It's just good-looking stuff, well-made and covetable. Maybe that's not cool, incisive fashion criticism, but I've never tried to present myself as a cool, incisive fashion critic (or actually any kind of fashion critic… more of a crabby judger of clothes), so we're all good there.

FM Ryan Harper traveled to Canada for the Guelph Pro-Am International tournament and missed an IM norm due to opposition's rating requirements. Harper scored 5½-3½ for 4th-8th place and outscored five GMs including Walter Arencibia of Cuba and Dmitri Tyomkin of Israel, who finished on 5-4. The tournament was won by GM Alexander Moiseenko of the Ukraine who bested the field by 1½ points. GM John Fedorowicz of the USA and IM Tomas Hutters of Denmark were joint 2nd at 6-3. Harper, who toppled GMs Harmen Jonkman and Mark Tseitlin, described his situation,"I missed IM norm by 11 rating points. My average came up to 2360, needed 2371. My 8th round pairing spoiled it. My hiccup from a totally winning ending in round 7 (which was drawn) made me get that bad pairing...I was so close."Guelph Pro-Am (standings)

Fixed-Layout Ebook Design
Fixed-layout ebooks are a specialty ebook type that retains your formatting while making a file that ereaders and tablets can easily read. It's more advanced than a PDF and includes custom magnification to make the book as useful as possible for readers. Looseleaf provides fixed-layout ebook design for comics and cookbooks. (We also provide print book design and reflowable ebook design.)
Each page in your fixed-layout ebook receives custom attention to ensure a reader-ready experience.
Kindle Formatting for Comic Books
Looseleaf creates comic books for Kindle format only. Kindles have the best presentation options for comic books and graphic novels. To create the same reader experience in another format would result in very large files to accommodate the detailed illustrations characteristic of comics.
Pricing = $75 (base fee) + $1.25/page
Fixed-Layout Ebooks for Cookbooks
Looseleaf creates fixed-layout cookbooks for both Kindle and EPUB formats. Because they typically include less illustration than comics, they're more compatible with a wider variety of platforms and devices.
Pricing = $200 (base fee) + $1.25/page

"Kristy's talents and hard work on the book's layout and design can be seen on every page."
Brandon Sanderson, NYT-bestselling author of the Stormlight Archive
"Kristy does a fantastic job every time. She's punctual, thorough, affordable, and great to work with."
Brian McClellan, author of the Powder Mage series
"Assembling a novel is akin to fitting ten thousand pieces of an intricate jigsaw puzzle together. Through several iterations of my manuscript, Kristy has been relentless in showing me where pieces were in the wrong place, were starved for elaboration, or belonged in an entirely different puzzle. The day I began working with Kristy was a fortunate day. I don't want to imagine what my project would look like without her."
Ron Felt, literary fiction writer
"Kristy is a joy and a pleasure to work with. She works quickly and efficiently with steep deadlines, and has an eye for detail that has helped me tremendously. She's very dedicated to her work and treated my manuscript professionally, offering great critique and overall edits. I highly recommend her."
Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal bestseller
"Thank you very much. This [manuscript evaluation] is exactly what I need. You'll likely hear from me again when it's time for me to rework my query letter. Your help is invaluable. […] My novel has improved by leaps and bounds thanks to you."
Ryan Williams, YA fantasy writer

Teathers Financial Plc, the AIM listed investment company, is pleased to announce that the first Initial Public Offering ('IPO') has been offered by FCA regulated Shard Capital Partners LLP ('Shard Capital') via The Teathers App ('the App'), which is operated by the Company's fully owned subsidiary, Teathers Financial Software Limited ("TFSL"), is available to private investors today. This represents the first IPO, worldwide, to be offered through a mobile application provided and developed by TFSL.
All qualified users who have downloaded the App, free-of-charge and on-boarded, will be able to participate in the IPO at the same price and on the same deal terms as institutional investors. The IPO of Leni Gas Cuba Limited ('LGC'), a company focused on developing projects or businesses with connections to, or relationships in Cuba, has been made available to users of the App, at which point those that have expressed interest in this type of deal flow, will be notified through a pop-up message on their phone. In order to participate in this IPO, and all future transactions offered on the App, users will need to on-board through the App. The IPO has been sourced and provided on an execution only basis by Shard Capital who provide the on-boarding services, the regulatory compliance features and the custodial support framework.
Teathers' Executive Chairman Jason Drummond said, "The launch of the first IPO through the Teathers App is a milestone achievement not only for TFSL, but also for private investors who for the first time will be able to invest in such an opportunity via a mobile application, at the same price levels as institutions. We believe that this will be the first of many transactions available through the Teathers App, that have been sourced by Shard Capital and we are hopeful that as TFSL begins to roll out its white label strategy, private investors will have access to further deal flow from an array of brokers across the City."

"If You Don't Want To Get In Trouble" comes from the Spiritual Section of the book and is perfect for the Gospel-swing style that I had in mind for the last movement.
To begin the movement, the chorus is heard in the tuba while the left hand of the piano plays a bass line. This is followed by the verse in the tuba with piano chordal punctuation. At measure 17, the chorus is heard again, this time with a little flare inserted in the right hand of the piano. At measure 25, the piano plays a harmonized version of the chorus. This sections ends with chromaticism in both the tuba and piano that leads the listener into a louder, more intense section at measure 34. The material of this section is taken from motifs of the tune. A modulation up a half step at 42 adds to the excitement.
At 51, the chorus of the tune returns with tuba solo and piano accompaniment. This leads to a long tuba cadenza whose material is freely derived from motifs of the tune. After the cadenza settles down on a low tuba note, the piano returns with the harmonized version of the chorus and the tuba plays the ascending flares. The two measure chromatic section heard earlier returns before the tempo slows down to an "Amen" type cadence.
Below is a video of the score that uses sampled sounds. Your comments are always appreciated.

About Speaking Services
Speakers make or break events. Finding the right speaker with the right message for your audience is essential for successful events. If your audience includes project managers, risk managers, or individuals looking for ways to improve their leadership and productivity, you are in the right place.
Popular Project Risk Management Topics
My topics include project management, risk management, change management, leadership, and productivity. Some of my most popular topics include:
- How to Categorize, Assess, & Prioritize Project Risks
- The Essentials of Project Risk Management
- Leading With the Heart (The Soft Side of Project Management)
It is my aim in every speech to provide tips, tools, and techniques that participants can put to use immediately. I often provide blog posts prior to my engagement to help promote the event and help prepare the attendees for the topic.
I also can provide a web page for participants to review after the event. The web page will be specially designed to reinforce key principles.
As you can see, I strive to provide value before, during and after the engagement. Each speech or workshop is designed to inspire, encourage, and enable participants to achieve their personal and professional goals.
What You Can Expect
As we plan and execute your event, here is what you can expect:
- Prompt and professional replies to phone calls and email messages.
- A phone consultation prior to your event to understand the needs of your audience and your "it would be a home run if…" criteria.
- An announcement about your event on my website and social media channels. (Assuming that your event is open to the public and you'd like additional visibility for it.)
- A professionally prepared and dynamically delivered presentation focused on the unique needs of your audience and the outcomes you want.
- Full engagement with the event planners and attendees before, during and after the event.
- If requested, a custom resource page, exclusively created for your attendees, which will include the slides, along with links to books, articles, and other resources mentioned.
- Follow-up communication after the event to make sure that I met your expectations. (I also want to know how you think I can improve.)
Harry Hall was a speaker at our annual PMI Palmetto Symposium. Harry's speaking style is personable, with relevant stories and actionable take-aways. His topic of risk is well-presented and relevant to both the project manager and most business professionals. We had the pleasure of having Harry speak in past years and he always received high marks from our attendees, so we were very pleased he could join our event. -Kathi Soniat, Past President, PMI Palmetto Chapter
Harry has led many workshops for the Columbus, GA PMI Chapter as he is one of the most requested facilitators. He is wonderful to work with in customizing workshops for our chapter members and always delivers a quality program. Harry has a wealth of knowledge and experience from which we all benefit in his workshops. -Alison Mills-Long, VP/BankCard Vendor Relationship Manager | Past President, PMI Columbus, GA Chapter
"I've received many outstanding responses from participants concerning Harry's Project Risk Management training." - Lanny Wingrove, Past President - Chattanooga PMI Chapter
Ready to talk? Email me at email@example.com and let's discuss your next project management event. Your contact information will not be used for marketing purposes.
Harry Hall, PMP, PMI-RMP
Risks derail our projects. We make project risk management easy to understand and practical to apply, putting you in the driver's seat. If you have an upcoming project management event, let's discuss risk management topics for your one of your upcoming project management events.

Victoria of Lylia Rose is sharing with us her beautiful 2016 Christmas…
My Christmas Tree: Steph of Steph's Two Girls
Steph of Steph's Two Girls is sharing with us her beautiful 2016 Christmas Tree.
Real or Artificial Tree
Love the look of real but have artificial – has saved us loads of money over the 10 years we've had it!
My Christmas Tree Style
We have a tall and wide tree, and it's been decorated the same for the past 10 years – it's tradition now! Involves red and silver tinsel and as many red and silver decorations as possible, plus all the ones the girls have made.
My Tree Traditions
Presents underneath it suddenly appear overnight on Christmas Eve! We don't put them out before as the suspense is too much to bear for our autistic girl.
My Special Decorations
Yes, a soft Father Christmas that my Mum gave me which belonged to my Nana. Plus a customised one with all the family's names on (including pets!) and homemade baubles with photos of the girls in.
Creating Christmas Magic Today during the Christmas Season
Lots of food and drink. Cards on display and house decorations – got to have lights outside and in! We try and get the tree up and decorated at the start of December so there's lots of time to enjoy. We always go to see the panto locally as part of a school trip, and we drive around the roads in the evening to see local house light displays. We also do Elf on the Shelf and love to decorate Christmas cupcakes 🙂
If you enjoyed reading about Steph's Christmas Tree, why not head over to her blog to see her adorable festive cupcakes. She is also sharing her daughters' 2016 Sibling Christmas photos and her feelings about daughter not participating in Christmas Show 2016.

For over 20 years, Haematology Cancer Care has helped ensure the UCLH Haematology Unit delivers exemplary treatment and patient experience through long-term support of the projects listed below.
In addition we have some exciting new commitments lined up for 2017 to expand and improve these services. We are providing additional support for our Young Adults, Red Cell and Apheresis Services (for stem cell transplant and life-saving treatment for Myeloma and TTP - Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) and introducing Photopheresis (light therapy) to UCLH. For more information here is our current Wish List, and we hope you will help us raise necessary funds. We look forward to you getting in touch!
Haematology Patient Co-ordinator
The Royal Free Haematology Service move to UCLH means we have almost 80 haematology inpatients in the UCH Tower. This expansion of inpatients requires increased organisation to ensure patients access beds when they need them without delay and to discharge patients efficiently too.
HCC is pleased to fund a patient co-ordinator who manages admissions and discharges. As well as meticulous organisation an important part of their role is to visit haematology patients on non-haematology wards daily to make sure they are transferred to us as soon as possible and in the meantime work closely with our colleagues from other wards.
The Patient Co-ordinator role is made possible by funding from Haematology Cancer Care.
Haematology Specialist Nurses, sponsored by HCC
The Royal Free Haematology Service move to UCLH means we will have almost 80 haematology inpatients in the UCH Tower. This expansion of inpatients requires increased organisation to ensure patients access beds when they need them without delay. We need to be able to discharge patients efficiently too. HCC is very pleased to fund two specialist nurses to co-ordinate admissions and discharges. As well as meticulous organisation an important part of their role will be to visit haematology patients on non-haematology wards daily to make sure they are transferred to us as soon as possible and in the meantime work closely with our colleagues from other wards.
HCC Snack Service 2016
During Nutrition and Hydration Week 2016 (14 – 20 March) HCC funded the launch of a 'Snack Service' for haematology inpatients. Feedback from patients showed that catering on the wards sometimes did not meet their needs, particularly for patients undergoing chemotherapy for whom maintaining calorie intake is essential. The Snack Service trolley is currently being trialled and is packed with goodies ranging from sealed fresh fruits to chocolate bars! We look forward to making a real difference to the everyday needs of our patients.
The Snack Service Trolley is funded by HCC and run by UCLH volunteers.
The Young Adult Unit
Sheree Murphy was entertained on her recent visit
The Young Adult Unit, opened by actor and patron of the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Unit Julian Rhind-Tutt, offers patients aged 19-29 care tailored specifically to their needs. The new unit, designed especially for young adults with cancer and red cell disorders, means UCLH now has the biggest facility of its kind in the NHS for teenagers and young adults. Previously, these patients have been treated alongside much older patients and have found it difficult to share experiences with their peers.
The unit is decorated with bright graphics depicting London scenes. State-of-the-art bedside chairs encourage patients to get up and out of bed and are comfortable for parents to stay overnight - all of which have been sponsored by HCC.
At the opening, Professor Asim Khwaja, clinical lead for young adults with leukaemia explained the unit would bring together doctors and nurses, social workers, activity co-ordinators, psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists. "These are patients who up till now have been rather poorly served by clinical services. They fall in the crack between paediatrics and fully adult services." Sarah Jordan, young adult lead nurse, said: "For these young adults it is a very important point in their life when they are making lots of life choices – either starting university or a job. We are doing lots of work to support them and their families."
If you would like to support The Young Aduts please contact Sara Goldman.
Education Fund for Nurses
Knowledge gained by haematology nurses through higher education helps them continue to develop professionally and leads to the introduction of new techniques and initiatives within the unit. HCC provides long standing funding for university coursesthat would otherwise be unavailable to our staff.
"The mentorship course enabled me to progress in my career and the haematologycourse gave me a better understanding of the conditions we treat on the ward.We are very fortunate to have this funding; it makes us feel valued and gives us motivation in our jobs". Jo Bakewell, Senior Staff Nurse
Complementary therapy
Complementary therapies, which include massage and reflexology, can reduce stress and anxiety levels helping patients to cope with illness, symptoms and treatment. HCC funds complementary therapy for all haematology patients.
'Complementary therapies are a very important part of life on the ward. It makes the experience of being a patient more bearable'. B Davis
Ambulatory Care backpacks
We fund backpacks, bags and pumps for our Ambulatory Care Service so patients canreceive chemotherapy whilst relaxing outside the hospital.
26 Aromastones were purchased for the Unit in memory of David Hugh Simpson, from Claire, Ian and Liz Simpson.

Silicon Power Releases Their 1st DDR4 Kit with Heatspreaders
Ron Perillo / 3 years ago
Silicon Power has plenty of storage solution products but they have not forgotten their memory product line entirely. It took a while, but they finally have a DDR4 kit with heatspreaders. Until now, they have only offered their DDR4 modules with a bare, generic-green PCB.
Silicon Power Memory Solutions
Back in the DDR3 era, Silicon Power actually had two different heatspreader modules available. They had a standard-profile version with aluminum heatspreaders on both sides. As well as a much taller heatspreader module design they call the Silicon Power XPower. The latter is for overclockers and enthusiasts who prefer tweaking and faster performance. The former is for more mainstream users. Like their DDR3 mainstream solution however, they have not given the new DDR4 heatspreader kit a name. They just call it DDR3 with heatsink and DDR4 with heatsink.
Capacities and Speed
The new DDR4 modules with heatsink are available in single 4GB, 8GB and 16GB modules. Users can also get them in dual channel 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB kits. Each is rated at 2400MHz, which is the JEDEC floor for the latest generation Intel Kaby Lake processors. This is with 1.2V DRAM voltage and latency timing of CL17. Like all memory modules, it comes with a lifetime warranty.
