Fruit tree pruning techniques are an essential part of maintaining the health and productivity of fruit trees. Approaching the task in the wrong way, though, can be a source of problems. It is therefore essential that anyone new to the task ensures that they seek professional advice before undertaking the task.
Pruning fruit trees is all about maintaining the plant so that its structure remains intact, while also triggering enough flower and fruit growth to make the tree productive. Balancing these two needs can often be tricky. Pruning techniques also need to take into account the age of trees, as pruning young trees can often be very different to working with older plants. Free standing fruit trees or bush trees need to be pruned in winter, when they are dormant. Trained fruit trees can be pruned during other seasons, but it is best to seek advice from professional arborists.
Anyone who wants to learn the correct pruning techniques for fruit trees also needs the right tools. A pair of sharp secateurs and a good pruning saw are essential. Blunt tools can damage trees, causing tears in branches which can lead to infection.
Bush trees are the most common types of fruit trees. These trees are characterized by their open arrangement of branches growing from a short trunk. The priority for anyone pruning this type of fruit tree is to remove dead and dying branches. Any branches growing in towards the Centre of the tree should be removed too, as these can prevent sunlight from reaching the tree itself.
If the tree has reached its desired height, then it needs to be pruned to keep it in shape. The leaders, which are the new growth at the top of each branch, should be cut back by approximately two thirds in this sort of case. Should the gardener want to the tree to grow taller, though, then the leaders should be left intact. Instead, cut back the tree's lateral branches, leaving about six buds intact.
By far the best way of making sure that pruning is carried out properly, though, is to hire the services of a professional. They can make a proper assessment of what kind of work needs to be carried out, as well as providing the skills and expertise necessary to make sure that all trees stay healthy and productive. When it comes to making sure that the correct fruit tree pruning techniques are being used, always ask a professional for advice. Killing a tree by using the wrong technique can cause emotional distress.

DADE CITY, Fla. (seminoles.com) –
Florida State University junior Brooks Koepka carded a five under par 67 and moved into a tie for fifth place in the individual standings and helped the Seminole men's golf team moved into a tie for fourth place in the team standings after two rounds of the USF Invitational at the Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club. Koepka began the second round in a tie for 21st place and moved up a total of 16 positions and begins play in the third round only five strokes out of the individual lead. The Seminoles began the second round in a tie for seventh place and finished with the second best team score of the round to moved into the top five of the team standings.
Middle Tennessee State continued to own a stranglehold on the team lead as the Blue Raiders carded the best team score for the second consecutive day. The Blue Raiders are 25 strokes under par and hold a 20 stroke lead over North Texas State with 18 holes to play. Hunter Green of Middle Tennessee is the individual leader after two rounds with a 10 under par total of 134 for the first 36 holes of the event.
"While this is only one round, it is definitely a step in the right direction," said Head Coach Trey Jones. "Hopefully we can build on this and gain confidence in each other."
Koepka (Wellington, Fla.) carded a 67 in the second round and has a five under par total of 139 in the first two rounds. He carded an even par 72 in the first round. After earning a par on his first hole of the round he birdied his second hole to move under par – where he would stay for the reminder of the round. With six birdies during the round he was as many as six strokes under par before a bogey on hole 18 gave him a five under par score of 67 when he signed his card at the end of the round.
Koepka has nine birdies through his first 36 holes of the afternoon and has been at or below par in 23 of his first 26 holes played in the tournament.
Senior Drew Kittleson (Scottsdale, Az.) also played well and finished with a four under par score of 68. His score of 68 in the second round was six strokes better than his score of 74 in the first round and gave him a two round total of two under par 142. Kittleson is in a tie for 12th place in the individual standings.
Kittleson began his round well with a birdie on hole one and with five birdies on his first 11 holes worked his way to as many as five strokes under par with only three holes to play. He was one over par on his final three holes to finish with his score of 68. He began the round in a tie for 35th place and advanced his position by 23 positions in the individual standings.
"Drew and Brooks obviously put us on their shoulders today and went out and took care of business," said Jones.
Senior Kyle Cobb (Tallahassee, Fla.) and junior Wesley Graham (Port Orange, Fla.) also played well and helped the Seminoles finish with their best team score of the spring season. Cobb carded 16 holes at par or better with two birdies to score a one under par 71 while Graham was three under par over his last 11 holes to finish at even par 72. Cobb and Graham are in a tie for 39th place in the individual standings.
With inclement weather expected for Sunday's third and final round, the shotgun start has been moved up to 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.

1 Corinthians 6 10.23.16/
What stood out in this passage?
Why should a believer refuse to take another believer to court (6:1-8)? When have you been tempted to take legal action against someone? What were your motives? What did you learn from this experience?
How do you feel about judging the world and angels (6:2-3)? What does this tell me about the high view that God holds believers in?
G. K. Chesterton, "Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils; they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable." Are you guilty of justifying or excusing various sins in your life?
When have you excused your sexual immorality in the name of Christian "freedom" (6:12)? What specific justification did I use to appease my conscience?
What is involved in the "one flesh" relationship (6:15)? Is it biblically possible to have casual sex, inconsequential sex, or recreational sex? Why or why not? In The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis says, "The truth is that wherever a man lies with a woman, there, whether they like it or not, a transcendental relation is set up between them which must be eternally enjoyed or eternally endured." Do you agree with this quote? Why or why not? What are the various consequences of being sexually immoral?

Holding true to their promise of quarterly updates containing new features, SMART has released the latest version of its popular SMART Notebook software. Below you will find a summary of new and improved features as well as some information on the various versions of Notebook Software. As always, when SMART comes out with a new version it will show up right away on the Check for Updates tool. You will need to download and install it. See the bottom of this post for links to download the software.
New Features
Link to Tool – Allows you to link an object to a tool so that a student can click a picture of a pen on a full screen page to activate the pen tool.
Lesson Recorder – Similar to the old Page Recording. Allows you to record actions on a page to be saved in that page.
Improved Features
Page Sorter – Cut or copy and paste pages within your file.
Text Pen – Change the color of editable text.
Locked Objects – Lock an object and limit movement to vertical or horizontal.
Screen Shade – Change the color of the screen shade.
Picture Transparency – Resize the box to make it easier to work with.
Find more information on these and other features that have been added over the last year by checking out the tutorial file in SMART Notebook. When you install Notebook 14.3 and open Notebook for the first time a tutorial file pops up to tell you about all the new features. To access this tutorial file again click on Help (on the menu bar) and then SMART Notebook Tutorial.
What version do I install?
I often get asked what version of SMART Notebook should be installed. Here are two factors to consider:
Notebook Advantage – When you buy a SMART product that includes Notebook software, it includes one year of free updates. After that you need to be on SMART's maintenance program called SMART Advantage. As long as you have an active SMART Advantage license you are entitled to all software updates as well as live phone support and access to server-based features such as SMART Response. There is a fee for SMART Advantage after the first year, so see your local reseller for information. It is not very expensive, especially if you get the site license.
Computer OS – Mac has come out with a new operating system every year for the past four years. These updates can cause compatibility issues with Notebook software, so I have prepared the following infographic to help you know what version to install:
Mac Notebook Versions:
Mac OS 10.5 – Notebook 10.8
Mac OS 10.6 – Notebook 11.1
Mac OS 10.7-10.9 without Advantage – Notebook 11.4
Mac OS 10.7 with Advantage – Notebook 14.2
Mac OS 10.8-10.10 with Advantage – Notebook 14.3
Windows Notebook Versions:
Windows XP – Notebook 11.4
Windows Vista – Notebook 11 SP1
Windows 7-8.1 without Advantage – Notebook 11.4
Windows 7-8.1 with Advantage – Notebook 14.3

Live Long and Prosper Mr. Spock
When I was a boy my father introduced me to Star Trek the original series and we watched it without fail each and every week. It's one of those father/son memories that stays with you. We would sit on carpet, in front of the TV rather than the couch and get lost in each episode. I don't remember exactly what year it was or if we were watching reruns or the original series when it was still on, no matter it was great sitting on the floor with my dad and marveling at what could be someday. I guess that's why I like SCI-FI so much...it gives me hope of what "could be" someday.
As I got older and had a son of my own we also watched Star Trek and both were big fans of Mr.Spock. He was misunderstood, complex, brilliant and completely logical of course. My son liked the character so much his online persona for most of his profiles to this day is Spock Ninja.
I know "Mr. Spock" was just a character in a TV and Movie series but to my son and I he was so much more, and Leonard Nemoy played him so well.
I was saddened to learn of his passing today, it came as a shock to me and I feel like I have lost an old friend.
Live long and proper Mr. Spock. Tonight I will watch one of my favorite episodes of Star Trek in honor of Mr. Nemoy.

Online Classes the Best Option for High School Students
With the ever-increasing niche subjects in schools, but even more pressing budget problems, high schools are resorting to a new method of learning: online schools. Most people think of distance learning as another form of home school, but the two could not be more different. Online schools are usually state sponsored and Department of Education approved. They charge minimal enrollment rates that are typically paid by the local public school system. The major difference: you only take a few classes online. For the others, one sits in a regular high school classroom.
Thus, online schooling has emerged as the oddball class alternative. Schools do not want to teach an entire class for only five students, but the students still want to take the class. Class sizes are usually limited to only ten or fifteen students, but each class begins at a different time of the year to allow for conflicting local school schedules. After you are signed up and login on the virtual school webpage, it is time to start your class!
Your online teacher will contact you right after you sign up to take a class. He or she needs to establish some of the ways that your local school will help in your online learning process. You will need to find both a mentor at the local school and a place to work. Since the online classroom works just like a physical one, there must be both a place in your schedule to take the online class and a teacher to supervise your progress. Choosing to work in the school library is likely the best option; one of the librarians can serve as your mentor. There will also be a required textbook and your school may or may not have it in stock. The books used are usually different from ones at your local school, so try to get these ordered in advance.
Different from most home school schedules or distance learning, your online class probably requires submittal of assignments and completion of coursework by certain dates. The course is broken up into modules or sections with several sub-sections in each module. Your teacher is responsible for helping to create the module content, so he or she is very knowledgeable about what you will be learning. Each week you will be responsible for several sub-sections. This means a few different things. First, you must read the applicable sections of your textbook and understand them thoroughly. The material covered in the book may or may not be different from that in the online high school classes Ontario.
Next, you should read through the online module. Most modules are presented in an easy-to-read format with plenty of pictures and graphics, but are also concise enough to understand easily. After you feel you understand both of these texts, move to the activity portion of the module. Online learning requires more discipline than traditional learning, but it can be much more rewarding. Try to get your work started far in advance.

At Kreab Gavin Anderson we offer clients a summary of what's making news int he major Chinese papers in Hong Kong. Here's what's news today.
Leung Chun-ying: I never said I did not have illegal structures
Yesterday, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying attempted to put his illegal structures controversy to rest at a LegCo question-and-answer session. He admitted that he had been negligent in the way in which he had tried to deal with the problem and said that his earlier communication was not clear. He apologized for both of these shortcomings. Leung also emphasized that he had not tried to conceal the matter or shirk responsibility. Nevertheless, Leung surprised many legislators by telling them that, in his memory, he had never said that he did not have illegal structures. Legislator Wong Kwok-kin asked the Chief Executive to retract this statement and said that Leung should apologize to the public for saying it. Functional constituency legislator Lam Ta-fai wondered whether Leung had reflected on the matter.
Cathay Pacific union calls for industrial action
The Cathay Pacific Flight Attendants Union, unhappy over management's refusal to reopen negotiations over the union's demand for a greater salary increase, called for industrial action yesterday. This action might include the offering of limited service on flights or the implementation of a work-to-rule action. For example, flight crew might refuse to serve meals to customers during flights. The union said that it would not call for a Christmas strike so as to avoid affecting the holiday travel plans of customers. However, the union said that if management did not come back to the negotiating table, it would not rule out the possibility of beginning a strike on New Year's Day. A Cathay Pacific spokesperson pointed out that the airline had a plan to deal with such a strike.
Proposed plan would force squatters to notify landowners before taking land
According to current regulations, squatters who have occupied private land for 12 years can apply to the government for the right to manage the land, a concept that is known as "adverse possession". The Law Reform Committee has suggested that the law be changed to require squatters to notify the landowner after ten years of occupancy. If the landowner does not respond within two years from the date of this notification, the squatter can then apply for the right to manage the land. The committee has opened a three-month consultation period to gather opinions on the proposal.

Writing this post is a treat that I've been anticipating for some time now, because it meant that I was able to visit Aberra Bulbulla in his beautiful St. Croix orchard.
Aberra moved to St. Croix over 20 years ago, and worked as a research analyst at UVI as well as in the Cooperative Extension Service, specializing in irrigation. He brought his love of tropical fruit trees with him to the island, and began planting his four-acre orchard 15 years ago – an orchard that is now full of mature trees loaded with delicious and beautiful fruits.
And yes, Aberra's smile grows larger as he walks amongst his trees, his passion and joy and enthusiasm rolling from him in waves that you can't help but be caught up in, and feel a little happier for the moment being spent with him.
Aberra is normally more quiet and reserved. Such as he won't tell you that he was Farmer of the Year four times at the Ag Fair, with the entire fair named after him in 2010. He also won't mention that he was Crop Farmer of the Year last year (2013) either. But when you find those facts out, and ask him about them, he will smile broadly and say, "Yes, that was me" with no expectation of applause or fanfare.
Which means that Aberra is one of those wonderful farmers who – in my opinion – we don't celebrate enough. Because Aberra has not only created an orchard for his retirement, he has also planted into St. Croix's future. He has given us a blessing and heritage that few consider doing – and for me, the gratitude for this gift to our community runs deep.
Such as this tree – the "Mommy Apple." Many on St. Croix speak fondly of this fruit in their childhood, and most trees have all but disappeared. But Aberra has one growing on his farm, and more on the way.
Or this unusual fruit – the chocolate fruit, one of many persimmons growing in the orchard, and my husband's favorite. Before Aberra, these fruits were tropical flavors that were not growing here, or were growing here very little. But now they are here, and we are able to keep them growing for future generations.
Or the jackfruit tree! I must admit to being seriously intimidated by this fruit, but it is quite popular in Asian dishes, and one of these days I'll attempt my hand with one – each one being the size of a watermelon, or larger!
And of course, there's an abundance of mangos, avocado, coconut, eggfruit, starfruit, guava, and many other local fruits, in several different varieties.
And in addition to the fruit trees, Aberra is also growing decorative flowers, and has a greenhouse for starting plants that contains one of the island's only miracle fruit trees. The miracle fruit is called a "miracle" because of its ability to change a person's sense of taste, leading to some entertaining experiences. This is a really delicate fruit that lasts only about 12 hours, so having the opportunity to sample one is a rare treat indeed!
Aberra insisted on creating a giant bouquet for me of flowers and ornamental leaves, which I took home and enjoyed for many days. I must admit to grinning from ear to ear as I walked behind him with this lavish gift.
You can buy fruit from Aberra on Wednesdays and Saturdays at Southgate, from around 8:30 am to 1 pm. The location can be found on my farm stand map. Right now Aberra is bringing malay apples, coconuts, mangoes, eggfruit, and star apples for sale. Avocados will be in another month or so, and there are more chocolate fruits and sapotes and sapodillas on the way, and guavas and surinam cherries and…well, the list goes on and on. With over 300 fruit trees, there's always something growing in abundance.
But there is one gift that Aberra exceeds in abundance even more than his fruit trees – and that asset that he holds is kindness. Aberra is one of the rarest and kindest souls on the planet, and I find great joy and inspiration in being his friend. I hope that by visiting his orchard with me, you do too.

Jimmy and I went to brunch this morning like people (as my mum would say). My poached eggs don't look like much compared to his fancy big breakfast, but they were tasty all right.
It was so cold today; I was glad to have my Jack Daniel's PJ pants and zebra slippers (both from Targét).
I did some tidying and decluttering of my desk. I still need to file everything in my letter rack and sort out all my old uni folders, eek. I have included many snaps. Note the Fruit Pastilles pencil case, sushi erasers, dancing giraffes notebook &c.

Many areas of the world apply what are called statutes of limitation to most criminal cases, meaning time limits for when prosecutors can file criminal charges. So, if someone stole your wallet twenty years ago, you probably can't have them arrested today, as that statue of limitation has no doubt passed. (Read more about criminal statutes of limitation in the U.S. at this site.)
Statutes of limitation are also typically applied to liability cases; if you had an accident on the job, for example, you may have a limited timeframe in which you can sue your employer for negligence.
Courts have typically applied these same statutes of limitation to child sex abuse (CSA) victims, also limiting the time for which they can take their abuser to court and sue for redress (monetary compensation). While these statutes of limitation typically begin from the victim's eighteenth birthday, and not from the time of the abuse itself, they have often been limited to just a few years.
This means that a CSA victim may only have until their twenty-first birthday (which will vary, depending on local statutes of course) to file criminal charges, or to file a liability suit.
While statutes of limitation may be good to apply for certain cases, one difficulty faced by CSA victims is that it often takes years, if not even decades, for them to come to terms with what has happened to them, and to then become strong enough to report their abuse to authorities. A person doesn't turn eighteen and then *poof*, they're automatically mentally and emotionally ready to talk about their past abuse, and will know how to find a lawyer, talk to police, and otherwise navigate the complicated justice system.
This can be especially true for children who have been victimized by someone in a high-control, abusive religion or cult like Jehovah's Witnesses; the overwhelming feelings of shame, confusion, and so on that victims already have are just compounded by a fear of going against the elders, as these men are portrayed as having their authority from god himself.¹
Being disfellowshipped [excommunicated] from the religion, a threat that has been used against victims who wish to make such claims, means being shunned and cut off from everyone you know, and potentially facing a fiery death at Armageddon. This also makes it especially difficult for adult survivors to find the bravery to file claims.
Children of Jehovah's Witnesses are also taught, as are many children in such religions and cults, to be absolutely obedient to parents, and respectful of fathers in particular. Their salvation may even be tied into that unquestioning obedience and acceptance of the father's authority.²
All of these factors can make it incredibly difficult for children coming out of these religions to defy their parents, the elders, and the religion itself, and report their abuse, and especially while they're still relatively young.
Because of this unique situation faced by CSA victims, local governments in Australia have taken steps to abolish these statutes of limitation for such liability cases:
The state of Victoria abolished the time limit for injuries suffered from child abuse, including sexual, physical, and psychological abuse, in July of 2015.
The court would determine if any injury suffered by a child would fall under the general understanding of abuse, and, as reported at this site, "…the abolition of limitation periods within which claims may be made does not limit a court's power to summarily dismiss or permanently stay proceedings where the lapse of time has a burdensome effect on the defendant that is so serious that a fair trial is not possible. An example would be where crucial evidence has deteriorated or been lost over time."
New South Wales (NSW)
In March of 2016, NSW abolished time limits for civil claims filed for child sexual abuse. The State Attorney General, Gabrielle Upton, was quoted as saying, "There should be no use-by date for justice for survivors of child abuse."
Western Australia
Western Australia introduced the "Limitation Amendment (Child Sexual Abuse Actions) Bill" in 2015, which would eliminate the statute of limitation for claims arising from child sex abuse. In November of 2016, it was reported that the bill had been met favorably by Parliament and was likely to pass soon (see this site).
In March of 2017, it was reported that Queensland had abolished the time limits for child sex abuse victims to file claims (see this site).
It's been said that many of these changes are the result of the findings and recommendations of the Australian Royal Commission Inquiry Into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse.
These legal changes remove one major stumbling block for adult survivors who wish to file liability claims against, not just their abuser, but also the institution that facilitated their abuse, including churches, as these institutions can no longer use a statute of limitation itself as a means of defense. It also means more adult survivors may get the compensation and closure that they need and deserve, even if it takes them decades to find the strength to come forward.

¹"Our heavenly Shepherds, Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, expect us to be obedient and submissive to the undershepherds whom they have placed in positions of responsibility within the congregation. (1 Peter 5:5) Under inspiration, the apostle Paul wrote: 'Remember those who are taking the lead among you, who have spoken the word of God to you, and as you contemplate how their conduct turns out imitate their faith. Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will render an account; that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to you.'" – April 1, 2007, Watchtower

According to a recent study published, watching funny cat videos online boosts and energises a person. Therefore it comes as no surprise that owning an actual cat has a lot of advantages for both the owner and the rest of the family members.
The advantages of owning a cat are many starting from acting a social support when you are sad and unhappy due to the loss of a loved one, to being a great companion if you are a woman. But owning a cat comes with a lot of responsibility starting from giving its food on time to cleaning its litter. While all the responsibilities that come with owning a cat are equally important, in this article we will talk about cleaning its litter.
What Are Self Cleaning Litter Boxes?
Self cleaning litter boxes are an innovation that has changed the life of cat owners to a great extent. With an advanced technology in place, they take out the hassle of manually cleaning your pet's litter every time, thus saving them a lot of time and energy. The technology in place automatically cleans your pet's litter every time he poops or peeps, thus ensuring that they always have a clean and healthy place for their business.
Types Of Self Cleaning Litter Boxes
Although the underlying technology is the same in all litter boxes available in the market, there are differences in manufacturing procedure and quality. Mentioned below are the most common types of litter boxes available in the market.
- Self cleaning and sensors
This type of litter boxes have a rake that moves and collects the cat litter. After the litter is collected, it is deposited in a removable box at the end of the litter box. The lid is automatically closed so that the odour doesn't come out.
These products come with a timer and a sensor which automatically cleans the box a set time after the cat has left the box. But don't worry, most of these products come with a fail-safe meaning which it will turn on the rake for cleaning when the cat is inside.
- The ones with the right litter
These type of products come with a manual which specifies which type of litter should go into the box. While some of them require a specific type meaning clumped litter for cats whereas some require crystals. If you fail to use the specific type of litter mentioned in the manual, then there are chances that the automatic cleaning cycle may fail.
Also, these boxes come with information on how much litter they can hold. Adhering to this information all the time will make your life much easier as it will guarantee that the litter box will work perfectly at all times.
- The power source
All litter boxes run from a power source. While some of them are battery operated, others call for a power outlet. There are options in the market, which operate on both these technologies. All litter boxes have a rake that is operated by a motor. When in operation this motor creates a soft hum which is very much audible. At the beginning stages, this hum might become very upsetting for your pet and might lead them to not wanting to use the litter box at all.
Like a regular litter box, while choosing a self-cleaning litter box, size is important. While a size too small for your cat will be very uncomfortable, a size too big will be unnecessary.
Advantages Of Having A Self Cleaning Litter Box
- Gone will be the days when you have to pick up a litter again
Every self cleaning litter boxes guarantee that you don't have to pick up your cat litter again. What you have to do is just to take the litter from the removable box and throw it directly into the dustbin.
- It makes life easier
Having a self cleaning litter box definitely makes life easier to a great extent. The days when you will have to scoop out the litter with your hands and carefully throw it in the garbage bin while ensuring that you don't leave any spills of 7solid litter along the way will be over. All you have to do is empty the litter container at regular intervals, and it keeps both you and your pet happy.
- Saves money
In regular litter boxes, people end up throwing the fresh litter along with the used one. This is definitely a waste of money and if calculated in the long run amounts to a hefty bill. All self-cleaning litter boxes come with the technology which efficiently separates the fresh litter from the new one and saves you a lot of money in the long run.
- Saves time
While traditional litter boxes require attention at regular intervals, self cleaning ones save you a lot of time by eliminating this need. For a single cat household, emptying the drawer once in 7 or 10 days is enough while if you have multiple cats, it is advisable to clean the box twice every week.
- Keeps your pet safe
Are you always worried that your pet would roll in their own litter over time? Self cleaning litter boxes come with a drawer whose door shuts once the litter is inside meaning that your pet won't have access to it at all.
- Reduces Odour
While traditional litter boxes don't do anything in order to eliminate the odour, self cleaning ones come equipped with this technology. The litter collector usually has an airtight seal meaning which the odour can't go out unless the box has reached its capacity and you have not emptied it.
- They are open
While some litter boxes come as a closed cubicle, self cleaning ones don't. It doesn't have a roof meaning that your cat won't act disturbed in a closed space and not want to use it in the future. Open air design also allows air to flow in which keeps the box fresh each and every time your cat uses it.
Hope this article provides you with profound insights on self cleaning litter boxes. Depending upon your situation, select the best litter box that suits your pet.
Best Wishes

SIZE: 135 x 41 cm, 136 x 42 cm, 137 x 44 cm
High Performance Freestyle
Technology applied to free your riding potential
Developed through an irrational pursuit of excellence – the Bronq was never about building a carbon board, rather using all the technology at hand to create a ride that is undeniably versatile, exciting and luxurious to ride.
So special that one test puts it at the top of every riders "most wanted" list.
A much misunderstood word – freeriding is the ability to adapt your riding to the conditions of the day, your mood or simply your desires and the Bronq CRB-4 was born to facilitate that ideal.
At it's heart is our ultra-light paulownia/balsa core wrapped up in a new blend of Bi and Triaxial carbon cloth. This new and unique mix delivers a board that significantly eclipses all previous Bronq incarnations. Unlike traditional carbon layups, which can be light but extremely stiff and nervous, it offers extreme flex and chop eating ability without the "spongy" feel that hinders many high flex decks.
Massive grip for booting, effortless glide no matter the water state and radical carving ability mean you don't have to go extreme in your riding but if you want to the Bronq will help you achieve heights that you'll never have seen before
Next-Generation Construction
Combining a Balsa/Paulownia wood core with Bi and Tri-axial-Carbon laminate gives our lightest, most dynamic construction ever
Split Concave Mould
First seen on the Ronson this innovative shape enhances grip and softens the ride without loosing efficiency
Double Stepped Tips

The reads for the summer so far (once I get around to finish some of Robert Anton Wilsons mindfuck) – coincidentally by two musicians that are bound to have something interesting to say. Music is not just music. #KillingJoke #SonicYouth #JazColeman #KimGordon
It's been a while – but I'm working on a lot of projects that will all see the light of day this year. Creatively speaking, times are good.
Ephex Hartman just finished this track for his Truth Lies In Dust project, for which I provided lyrics/vocals and guitars. Check it out!
Red EP now available for purchase through Bandcamp
Also available as YouTube stream
The second out of three EP's to be released in late 2014. Recorded 2012-2014

The first out of three EP's to be released in late 2014! Recorded 2012-2014
Ok, so here's the deal. I've been working on and off on material for a record the past couple of years. And I have around 15-20 finished songs to compile, and putting the pieces together to make a coherent collection of tracks has turned into a logistic nightmare, and I'm growing tired of the songs in the process – not a good sign. I have a lot of new ideas and a clear vision of the sound I'm going for with some brand new material and I want to put my energy where it matters, that is, in the process of creation. So I'm going to give the current songs a final mastering and spread them out on three ep's and put them up on Bandcamp and Spotify, maybe iTunes, within the next couple of months without making a big fuzz out of it and that will be it, time to move on. The songs are good, the recordings are good, I just don't want to spend any more time on them, they're already behind me. Life is short and my attention span is even shorter. My focus is more intense than it was ten years ago and I want to be able to move with ideas faster.
– Stay tuned.
It's up – first single from the forthcoming album to be released later this year. A sort of modern Brothers Grimm tale; children getting revenge on stupid adults. Links to iTunes and Spotify will follow.

Lady GaGa has insisted that women get the "short end of the stick" in sex.
The 'Bad Romance' singer stressed the importance of having an orgasm during a love-making session.
"Sex is fun, beautiful and colourful," she told the Daily Star. "[But] women have the short end of the stick - we are the receivers."
She continued: "The orgasm is the biggest object for the female sex."
The 23-year-old, who hands out condoms during her 'Monster Ball' tour, claimed that she doesn't need to have physical contact to be intimate.
"Even Lady GaGa can be celibate - you don't need sex to be loved," she said.
GaGa recently advised other women to choose their career over a love life.

Perfectly fitted for the ladies or a small wrist guy, Tudor expresses the aesthetic codes of its iconic Heritage Black Bay through this new model with a diameter of 36 mm. Both fashionable and sporty, it opens up the family of Heritage Black Bay products to a wider audience. For the Heritage Black Bay 36 model ref. 79500, Tudor has retained the general lines of the Black Bay family of watches while reducing its proportions. With its 36 mm diameter, the steel case is particularly versatile. It acts both as an introduction to the Black Bay aesthetic for slimmer wrists and as a more formal option while remaining part of a family of essentially sporty watches.
Like other models in the Black Bay family, Black Bay 36 features a dial inspired by the TUDOR divers' watches produced during the 1950s. It borrows the characteristic angular hands known to collectors as snowflake that appeared in the brand's 1969 catalog. A smooth steel bezel and a shiny black polished dial act as the finishing touches to this sport chic Black Bay.
With a choice of a steel bracelet or a lightly distressed beige-colored leather strap with steel folding clasp, each Heritage Black Bay 36 is also supplied with an additional strap in urban camouflage fabric. Made in the Jacquard technique according to traditional methods by a hundred-year-old family business from the St-Etienne region of France, this strap is a signature feature of Tudor's Heritage line.
The Heritage Black Bay 36 is unfortunately not powered by the new in-house COSC movement, however, the price tag is so attractive that we are confident it will be flying off the shelves. The new Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36 mm ref. 79500 is water resistant to 150 meters and its movement provides a power reserve of 38 hours.
Sticker Price CHF 2,400 Swiss Francs on leather strap and CHF 2,700 on bracelet —roughly $2,500 USD and $2,900 USD respectively. For more info on Tudor click here.

Creating a CG Car for a Commercial, Film Prop, or Video Game
The process to create a computer generated image (CGI) involves hardware and software to produce a quality product. A 3D scanner is first used to capture the model, and then the raw data is processed into 3D modeling software such as Autodesk Maya or exported from AutoCAD. The high resolution data from the scan or CAD file is then optimized for CGI.
Let's say the body of a vehicle is scanned and the scan or CAD data has higher than 2 million polygons. It then needs to be retopologized to a much lower resolution. A max amount of polys for any vehicle should be between 100,000 polys and 200,000 polys, depending on how close to the camera a shot was taken as polygon density varies. Whenever scan data has holes, all geometry needs to be cleaned up and/or retopologized. One tool we use for this (others are available) is ZBrush. When CAD data is used, inner parts that are invisible to the camera need to be deleted to make the file lighter.
In the data prep stage we also start to create UV space for the geometry. If materials such as fabrics are hand painted, there should be a greater focus to get an even UV space so no stretching occurs. We use Headus UVLayout for creating the UVs. After the base model is done, we make sure to check the normals and nonmanifold geometry. We then export the data to Maya for polishing the model.
To scan the exterior of a vehicle takes approximately a week or so, based on detail. If the interior also needs to be scanned, add an additional week or more depending on the level of detail and coverage needed.
The product is normally delivered with UVs and textures/shaders, but can be customized to our customers specific need.

With the federal election now a fading memory and words like Brexit turning to Regrexit, the question on everyone's minds is "what does all this mean for the Australian job market?"
More specifically, what does it mean for the jobs in the Australian construction sector, which has in the last few years been one of the few jobs bright spots and a key driver of jobs growth in the Australian economy.
Last week, we saw the Australian Unemployment rate for June rise to 5.8 per cent. It's the first time we have seen a rise in four months and comes largely on the back of an increase in the overall participation rate (the number of people available for work). We also saw the number of full-time jobs increase by 38,000 and a decline in part-time jobs, which many optimists seized on as a sign of underlying jobs improvement, given that recent jobs growth in Australia had been predominantly in part-time roles.
How much did these political events impact the Australian Job market? I think it is too early to tell, given the results were either not yet determined, or so late in the month and unexpected, that they are unlikely to have influenced employer thinking here too much in June. We also cannot read too much in to a single monthly rise in full-time employment given the questionable methodology the ABS uses to define the difference between genuine full-time and part-time work.
However, what is certain is that these political events are likely to cause some hiring reflection and most likely create some uncertainty for Australian organisations in the near future. This means we will likely continue to see the kind of volatility in the Australian unemployment rate that we have become accustomed to in the last few years persist for many more months to come.
With the Australian construction sector one of Australia's largest employer groups, it will be vital for jobs and the economy that the government gets on with its election commitments to continue to invest in infrastructure, particularly as many of these new commitments have not yet been fully vetted by Infrastructure Australia, the very organization that was set up to ensure the quality of proposed government investments.
According to the Gratton Institute, analysis on election infrastructure spending commitments by the three major parties shows that the highest commitments to state infrastructure spending seem to follow the highest levels of unemployment. Queensland is likely to receive the highest investment, followed by Victoria. South Australia is the exception, where limited infrastructure investment promises are likely to do little to help a state with the highest unemployment rate in the country at seven per cent.
Over the last few months, we have seen a slight easing of demand for roles in the construction sector, and whether is a short-term issue or a longer-term trend still remains to be seen. Forecasting future employment in Australia has become somewhat of a lottery over the last few years, and with recent political events here and overseas ensuring an economic cloud continues to hover over Australia, we are unlikely to see much change in the next year.
What is certain is that the construction sector will continue to be a key to jobs growth in all sectors, and whilst we can not control what happens overseas, we can control what happens locally. Federal and state governments need to work together to ensure that investment in new infrastructure development moves quickly to ensure not only jobs growth but job retention across the sector.

8 February 2016: Andy Hunder to speak at the British Ukrainian Society lecture series in London on 8 February
Event announcement
Enjoying the success of its new series of lectures on bilateral relations at the UK Parliament, the British Ukrainian Society would like to thank everyone who attended our first two events with speakers Sir Gerald Howarth MP and Lord Macdonald of River Glaven QC.
We are delighted to confirm that the next speech will be given by Andy Hunder, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, on 8 February 2016 at 7pm in the Attlee Suite, Portcullis House, Bridge Street, Westminster SW1A 2LW. Mr Hunder's talk is entitled "Tackling corruption and doing business in Ukraine". We do hope you will be able to join us.
Spaces are limited. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to email@example.com at your earliest convenience. Due to tight security and the potential for queues, we would advise you to allow at least 30 minutes to enter Portcullis House; a map and further instructions will be sent in due course to those who RSVP.
This two-year British Ukrainian Society series of lectures in the spheres of politics and culture is run in partnership with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Ukraine. It aims to give anyone interested in Ukrainian affairs an opportunity to hear from British and Ukrainian politicians, diplomats, authors, artists and experts from various professions who are in some way involved in noteworthy work relating to Ukraine.
The lectures are held approximately every two months in London at Portcullis House where the offices of British Members of Parliament and their staff are located. Each lecture offers an opportunity for the audience to ask questions, and networking receptions are also planned in the future.
The British Ukrainian Society is actively seeking sponsors to support this lecture series. Sponsors will be recognised throughout the two years in a number of ways, including during introductory remarks, in advertising and banners, on the BUS website and on its social networking pages. It will also be possible for sponsors to bring promotional materials to the events.

Detroit on Film
Upon realising we had a long weekend coming up back in May, on the Monday of that week we decided to book a last minute trip away, because why not? Having already been to a lot of the usual places within a few hours of Toronto, we chose Detroit for a few reasons. One, last-minute flights to just about anywhere were still very expensive, so we wanted somewhere we could hire a car and drive to, and being about four hours away, Detroit fit the bill. Two, I knew it was home to Motown Museum, which I thought would be really cool to see, and three, we figured we probably wouldn't go to Detroit if we didn't do it while living in Toronto, so now was as good a time as any.
We had some mixed reactions from friends when we told them where we were heading – a few people said they loved Detroit and wished they were coming along with us, while several other people responded with, "Why?" It's not exactly a tourist hotspot, and there are definitely more glamourous places to go on holiday, but without really knowing what to expect from the city, we had a wonderful time. Between some really interesting museums, delicious vegan food and a quick trip to Ulta, what more could you want from a weekend away?
We didn't really know too much about the city before we got there, but we learned that the population of Detroit has been steadily declining since the 1950s. Back then the population was 1.8 million, and today it's under 700,000. We could see something was up as we drove around and noticed that at least 30%, if not more, of all the homes and buildings we passed were abandoned – either boarded up, graffitied or occasionally burned down. There are definitely parts of the city that you don't want to walk around at night, to put it lightly.
The Motown Museum
Being a lifelong Michael Jackson fan, as well as a fan of Diana Ross & the Supremes, and just generally loving music, I was excited to check out the Motown Museum, and it really surpassed my expectations. Not only were there about a million songs that I didn't realise were Motown hits, but I also wasn't fully aware of how significant their cultural impact was outside of music.
Founded in 1959, the Motown sound dominated the charts through the 60s and beyond with artists like Diana Ross & the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Smokey Robinson and about a million more. Whether you recognise the names or not, most people raised in a Western context would be familiar with their biggest hits if they heard them.
Beyond making wonderful music, Motown's acts were mostly (if not all) people of colour, and with the Civil Rights movement pushing for progress throughout the turbulent 1960s, to have African-American music all over the radio was pretty important. Many of their artist toured together as The Motortown Revue and initially played to segregated audiences in the Deep South, but eventually to integrated audiences who were able to dance together. This music is credited with being a part of breaking down those barriers and contributing to these very necessary and long-overdue changes.
The museum itself is located in the original property where the label was founded, which was nicknamed Hitsville U.S.A. We had a fantastic tour guide who made the experience a lot of fun, and we got to go into the actual studio where so many famous songs were recorded. They also had a hat and sequined glove on display that Michael Jackson donated to the museum, which was definitely the highlight for me!
The Henry Ford Museum
The Henry Ford Museum also surpassed my expectations, because I didn't realise how many super interesting things are held there. It's actually located in the town of Dearborn, which is about a 20min drive from Detroit. I'm not particularly interested in the history of cars, but this museum had so much more than that and is well worth a visit if you're ever in town. Please excuse the crappy photos, museum lighting is notoriously unforgiving, but below is the actual car that JFK was shot in, along with the chair Abraham Lincoln was shot in (which is behind glass), and the bus that Rosa Parks sat in when she refused to move for a white passenger, one of the most well-known events that took place as part of the Civil Rights movement in the USA. Pretty mind-blowing pieces of history!
A friend I work with grew up in Windsor, which is the town just on the Canadian side of the water across from Detroit, and he told us to check out Greektown while we were there. The city isn't very big so it didn't take long for us to walk around. The main strip of Greektown is only a couple of blocks, but it was pretty lively, and we spotted a bakery that was absolutely packed with people, so I had to pick up a treat or two for myself. We also walked through the General Motors Renaissance Centre down on the waterfront where you can see Windsor on the other side, and we spotted the Fox Theatre where all the Motown artists used to play.
You can keep your acai bowls and green smoothies, I'll take a good diner breakfast any day of the week, especially one with scrambled tofu & home fries. The above was at the Brooklyn Street Local. Below is Detroit style pizza from Buddy's who have a location right near the Henry Ford Museum. We chose Buddy's because they can make it with vegan cheese. If you've never had Detroit style pizza before, it's rectangular, about an inch thick, and has no crust so the toppings go right to the edge, and it's goddamn delicious.
We kept going back to this one little area of Corktown (the Irish part of town) because they had a few places with vegan & vegetarian options all next to each other, so we were happy campers. One of them was Brooklyn Street Local, which I mentioned up above, and we also stopped by the Detroit Institute of Bagels for breakfast on our last morning before driving home. Their everything bagel was absolutely top notch.
Our favourite place, however, was PJs Lager House who serve meat, as well as a whole bunch of vegan options. We were still super full from lunch so we split the vegan Po-Boy, and both wished so badly that we could fit in another one because it was so good. We had plans to venture further afield that night but we got along with the bartender and the couple next to us so well that we stuck around for a few hours and really enjoyed ourselves. If we were ever in town again, we would 100% go back.
Another place we went that was across the road from this beautiful floral wall was Detroit Vegan Soul and they serve things like tofu "catfish", cornbread muffins and maple glazed yams with sultanas - delicious!
Another place I think we would definitely go back to is Pie-Sci. Although their pizza isn't Detroit-style, they won major points from me by having vegan options for everything. Instead of just not putting chicken or a creamy sauce on my pizza when I asked for it vegan, I got the complete pizza with vegan substitutes for everything, which is pretty rare, and it was damn good pizza too!
We actually didn't know anything about The Heidelberg Project until the bartender at PJs told us that we should check it out, so we made sure we went before driving home on the Monday. Basically, the artist grew up in this neighbourhood and it was really, really rough, so over time he created these found-art projects and painted a bunch of the houses in the street. The neighbourhood is still sketchy af, and aside from this one part of the street I certainly wouldn't wander around on my own, but it's really unique and definitely worth going to if you have a car and can get there easily.

*hugs to all the Oilers fans* That was a great series, the Oilers played many spirited games and the Edmonton fans were really cool.
Well, it was mostly a good hockey day. *peers at Leafs* Stars won the series so that means we'll be watching them play the Ducklings in Anaheim. Petr vs Whore! Well, hopefully Whore, still don't know what his injury is. :( I actually cheered for the Wild today. Great, that makes, what, only three teams left in the NHL I don't like? *shakes head*
Loved the slow mo spanking. Hatcher cross-checks someone, Comrie cross-checks him, Turco smacks him on the back of his knee. It was like a little spanking daisy chain. *giggle* Speaking of Hatcher, I was truly terrified by his little facial tic fit. *hides*
Oilers played really well from the second period on. Played hard, got lots of chances and stuff. Announcers were like so shocked that the Wild beat the Avs. Umm, why? Previous two games the Wild played at least as good as the Avs it's just that Roy was insanely good (as usual). There's a goalie who wins games single-handedly for his team. *coughs* But then, I haven't been watching hockey for that long so maybe I don't know shit. :P
Feel so weird and blah. Maybe it's hockey overload. :)
