Dear Yogis and Friends
We invite you to celebrate 20 amazing years of business in Nanaimo with us on March 18. Island Yoga Vista has the distinction of being the very first Yoga Studio in Nanaimo. Here is a little history.
This Yoga Studio started in 1997 with me teaching at 5 different locations in Nanaimo and Ladysmith, foremost among them the Diamond Light Centre that some of you will remember in that red brick building on Commercial Street.
As the number of classes and people grew it found it's own home at 20 Front St, (a building which is no longer there) on the waterfront with a beautiful view of the harbour and Protection Island. We had two massage studios and room for big Ashtanga classes. The first Ayurveda Massages were offered in Nanaimo at that location and I even trained a handful of people then to do Abhyanga and Shirodhara. As well the drumming circles and African Dance classes started in Nanaimo through Island Yoga Vista. It has a rich history indeed.
When that building was sold and torn down I bought a house and designed a unique, tranquil custom Vastu built studio in the top floor overlooking Newcastle Channel and the island's untouched shoreline. This clearly is the best version of Island Yoga Vista yet, and the most stable, we have now been here for 12 years of the 20.
Our Yoga Teacher Trainings bring people from all over Canada as well as the US, part of the training is conducted in India also and so from our humble roots we have grown. I personally have trained thousands of people in Yoga and Ayurveda over these 20 years and have seen this community and others benefit from those seeds planted. It has been a most fulfilling journey. It is rewarding to have been part of the growing worldwide acceptance of Yoga, Ayurveda and Vastu and to watch them continue to become part of our culture.
Now it is time to refresh and start again with renewed focus and clarity and take it all to the next step. It is time to thank you for all the support for so many years.
I have watched this town change and develop, I have raised my family here, explored the world from this home base and made many good friends. It is with sincere gratitude that I invite you to my home and business to share in this celebration. Please see the invitation below for the schedule of speakers. The Open House will run from 1-4:30pm showcasing upcoming workshops and have great entertainment as usual.
A new session of Weekly Yoga Classes starts March 7, you must call ahead to register as space is limited.
There are also complimentary Private Sessions to be given to those who stay for all of the speakers on Saturday March 18!

You see that chair and desk up there? Positioned just so? Financial calculator, pen and mysterious award for something "important" at the ready? That's my boss' stuff. He's on day #5 of his vacation.
No biggie, right? Just any other day at any other bland cube farm? No, pumpkins, no. Can you see the tip of that shoe in the lower left hand side of the photo? That shoe tip is called "Trouble." This desk isn't supposed to be there. And that wall behind the desk? Yeah, that isn't supposed to be there either.
"Trouble" moved the desk OUT of our boss' office and INTO the aisle. Then he DETACHED a wall from another cubicle and REATTACHED it to where my boss' door should be.
So when Bossman comes back, he's going to march straight to his cubicle prepared to get down to business. Only he won't be able to get in.
But DON'T worry.
We left his nameplate on the desk so he'll know where to sit.

The conceptual inspiration for the Protocols can be traced back to the time of the French Revolution at the end of the 18th century. At that time, a French Jesuit named Abbe Augustin Barruel (1741/10/02 - 1820/10/05), representing reactionary elements opposed to the revolution, published in 1797 a treatise blaming the Revolution on a secret conspiracy operating through the Order of freemasons. Barruel's idea was nonsense, since the French nobility at the time was heavily masonic. In his treatise, Barruel did not himself blame the Jews, who were emancipated as a result of the Revolution. However, in 1806, Barruel circulated a forged letter, probably sent to him by members of the state police opposed to Napoleon Bonaparte's liberal policy toward the Jews, calling attention to the alleged part of the Jews in the conspiracy he had earlier attributed to the freemasons.
The direct predecessor of the Protocols can be found in the pamphlet "Dialogues in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu", published by the non-Jewish French satirist Maurice Joly in 1864. In his "Dialogues", which make no mention of the Jews, Joly attacked the political ambitions of the emperor Napoleon III using the imagery of a diabolical plot in Hell. The "Dialogues" were caught by the French authorities soon after their publication and Joly was tried and sentenced to prison for his pamphlet.
Joly's "Dialogues", while intended as a political satire, soon fell into the hands of a German antisemite named Hermann Goedsche writing under the name of Sir John Retcliffe. Goedsche was a postal clerk and a spy for the Prussian secret police. He had been forced to leave the postal work due to his part in forging evidence in the prosecution against the Democratic leader Benedict Waldeck in 1849. Goedsche adapted Joly's "Dialogues" into a mythical tale of a Jewish conspiracy as part of a series of novels entitled "Biarritz", which appeared in 1868. In a chapter called "The Jewish Cemetery in Prague and the Council of Representatives of the Twelve Tribes of Israel", he spins the fantasy of a secret centennial rabbinical conference which meets at midnight and whose purpose is to review the past hundred years and to make plans for the next century.
Goedsche's plagiary of Joly's "Dialogues" found its way to Russia. It was translated into Russian in 1872, and a consolidation of the "council of representatives" under the name "Rabbi's Speech" appeared in Russian in 1891. These works furnished the Russian secret police (Okhrana) with a means with which to strengthen the position of the weak Czar Nicholas II and discredit the reforms of the liberals who sympathized with the Jews. During the Dreyfus case of 1893-1895, agents of the Okhrana in Paris redacted the earlier works of Joly and Goedsche into a new edition which they called the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The manuscript of the Protocols was brought to Russia in 1895 and was printed privately in 1897.
The Protocols did not become public until 1905, when Russia's defeat in the Russo-Japanese War was followed by the Revolution in the same year, leading to the promulgation of a constitution and institution of the Duma. In the wake of these events, the reactionary "Union of the Russian Nation" or Black Hundreds organization sought to incite popular feeling against the Jews, who they blamed for the Revolution and the Constitution. To this end they used the Protocols, which was first published in a public edition by the mystic priest Sergius Nilus in 1905. The Protocols were part of a propaganda campaign which accompanied the pogroms of 1905 inspired by the Okhrana. A variant text of the Protocols was published by George Butmi in 1906 and again in 1907. The edition of 1906 was found among the Czar's collection, even though he had already recognized the work as a forgery. In his later editions, Nilus claimed that the Protocols had been read secretly at the First Zionist Congress at Basle in 1897, while Butmi in his edition wrote that they had no connection with the new Zionist movement, but rather were part of the masonic conspiracy.
In the civil war following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the reactionary White Armies made extensive use of the Protocols to incite widespread slaughters of Jews. At the same time, Russian emigrants brought the Protocols to western Europe, where the Nilus edition served as the basis for many translations, starting in 1920. Just after its appearance in London in 1920, Lucien Wolf exposed the Protocols as a plagiary of the earlier work of Joly and Goedsche, in a pamphlet of the Jewish Board of Deputies. The following year, in 1921, the story of the forgery was published in a series of articles in the London Times by Philip Grave, the paper's correspondent in Constantinople. A whole book documenting the forgery was also published in the same year in America by Herman Bernstein. Nevertheless, the Protocols continued to circulate widely. They were even sponsored by Henry Ford in the United States until 1927, and formed an important part of the Nazis' justification of genocide of the Jews in World War II.
The complete debunking of the Protocols has not stopped their continued circulation. In an attempt to negate the refutation, William Guy Carr claimed in 1958 that the Protocols were actually an older document recording a speech by Mayer Rothschild in 1773. This claim is occasionally repeated, although Carr provided no justification, Documentation or citation for an accusation founded on his paranoid fears of International communism and banking.

We've partnered up with Airbnb to try out their newest platform, Airbnb Trips. Instead of haul assing to a foreign country and just skimming the surface, Airbnb Trips unlocks unique places and cultures through the people who live there. From getting learned in acrobatics by a stunt double in LA to appreciating the art of burlesque in London, the opportunities to live like a local and explore your passions anywhere are endless.
If you were given the opportunity to travel anywhere on the globe, and spend a jam-packed 72 hours taking in everything the city had to offer, where would you go?
The top of my bucket list, apart from revving through middle 'Murica in a vintage Mustang, devouring inhumane quantities of BBQ ribs? South Korea. Crazy, unpredictable, colourful South Korea.
I chose to check out Seoul, the country's capital city. It's reminiscent of Tokyo with its high-tech qualities, but it's a road a little less travelled. (It's important to note here that I've barely travelled outside Australia save for a few few boozy trips to Bali like every other suburban Australian – so Seoul was way outta my comfort zone.)
Seoul is renowned for its underground food scene, and of course, Korean BBQ. While I've enjoyed my fare share of Korean-style dinners at tidy joints like Kong and Mrs Kim's Grill here in Melbourne, I never imagined I'd get to try the real deal.
Enter Daniel Gray, the gregarious host of my two-day food safari.
Dan is an American expat who owns a number of bars in the city and runs uber-successful food blog, Seoul Eats. He's on first-name basis with what seemed like every street food vendor in the city, and has even shown culinary deity Anthony Bourdain around.
In short, Dan knows his Kimchi from his Bibimbap.
Have a gander at the snaps I took of the first day of the Food Whisperer trip, sinking bevs on the Intro to Craft Beer & Street Food and Hanwoo Snowflake Beef Experiences:
I was truly pushed into the deep end, so to speak, on the second day of my trip.
Dan and I went on a Fish Market Excursion at the hectic Mapo Fish Market with another solo traveller, Rocco.
Rocco's a software engineer at Facebook and told us all about that Zuckerberg life. I probably asked him at least three times if Facebook was like the movie The Internship throughout our excursion, and he took it like a champ, never missing a beat.
All this went down while drinking Banana Rice Beer and eating raw fish, which was far more delicious combo than it sounds:
if the concept of 'sea to plate' in seconds freaks you out, maybe give this one a miss
In a flash, the trip's over and I'm back at my desk Down Under with potbelly full of barbecued goodness and (as lame as it sounds) some lifelong memories.
You can check out the full range of Airbnb Trips here (there are a tonne, so whether your passion is sport, nature, social impact, entertainment, arts or food, they'll have you covered). All you gotta do is connect with the local expert, book in the available dates via the app and Bob's your international uncle.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Former Brazil full back Roberto Carlos, who joined Anzhi Makhachkala in February, scored his first goal for the Russian Premier League side on Monday.
The 38-year-old, a member of the 2002 World Cup-winning team, converted a penalty to put the visitors ahead in the 58th minute against Dynamo Moscow.
Dynamo, who had Russian international Igor Semshov sent off for handling in the box moments earlier, twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2.
Bosnia playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic secured a point for the home side with a penalty two minutes from time.
The draw lifted Anzhi into sixth place with nine points from six matches while Dynamo, who last week sacked Montenegrin coach Miodrag Bozovic after being knocked out of the Russian Cup, are ninth with eight points.
Champions Zenit St Petersburg lead the way with 13 points following a 3-0 win over lowly Krylya Sovietov Samara on Sunday.

Photo Friday: Window into NaplesThings to Do — By Laura Thayer on June 25, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Last month Jessica Spiegel from the WhyGo Italy Travel Guide stopped by my personal blog, Ciao Amalfi!, and wrote about Finding "Real" Italy in Venice & Naples. Jessica visited Naples for the first time last year and was smitten. I love reading about her experiences and impressions of Naples, especially the beautiful and intoxicating decay of the city. I was recently reminded of her article when I came across this photo I took just opposite the church of San Lorenzo Maggiore. There is something simply and incredible about the beauty of Naples, even in its ruins like this old palace.

Do Re Mi House is one of our favorite spots for Korean food in San Diego. We love the nice staff and the unlimited amounts of banchan that leave us extremely full.
The last few times we've come, the place has been packed. It's seems their business has really picked up since our initial visit, which you can read about here.
After we ordered, we were immediately started off with some pickled cucumber and noodles.
Afterwards, the banchan started coming. There were 10 total. More than I've had at any other place. And while the majority of them are vegetable based, I love that they are so generous with their banchan. Most Korean restaurants let you refill on these dishes, but at a lot of the ones I've been to, they aren't so generous about giving you a refill. A lot of places won't ask you if you want a refill and I hate to be the one initiating the request.
Here, they are happy to give refills. They even have a sign posted inside the store about it. In addition to the 10 banchan, there is also a steamed egg (Gaeran jim). I love, love steamed egg and I love how this one comes out still bubbling and cooking.
The prices have gone up since my initial post, so I should have take new menu pictures but I forgot.
I ordered the pork sparerib soup after reading a post about it on yelp by Faye.
I enjoyed this dish and we had come on a chilly night, so this was perfect. The meat was tender and came off the bone easily.
BF ordered the beef bulgolgi which was cooked with onions, mushrooms and broccoli. I liked how lean the meat was. At some places, the meat is full of chunks of fat.
Even though I knew we had too much food, I was craving dukboki, which was on their appetizer list, so I ordered it.
Unfortunately, I was not a fan of their version. This dish usually has ramen noodles, but it cost extra to add it. There were chewy rice cakes and dumplings and cabbage, along with a hard boiled egg. Even though the dish was served warm, it tasted like it hadn't been freshly cooked, but had been sitting around and reheated.
Other than this dish, we liked everything else. They refilled out banchan dishes right before we finished eating, so we ended up packing up banchan with our leftovers. It's amazing how we always end up with so much food here even though we just each order one dish. It's enough for a full dinner and leftovers for the next day.

There are few elements in handbag history as iconic as the Gucci Bamboo handle. The bamboo handle was first created by Gucci in 1947 when rationing was still in effect and the fashion house had to find a material to use that would not be subject to the restrictions. Since then the bamboo handle has been synonymous with Gucci. In 2010 Gucci reintroduced the bamboo handle for the first time in decades and it has been vital in their whole brand revival. The bag below retails for € 2,390.
Mango's Look4Less of this bag is pretty amazing considering the price. At only €59.95 it's a dead ringer for the Gucci original! Just click the image to shop and grab it while it's still in stock.

LONDON — When a manager renowned as rational and fair-minded accuses a referee of deciding the outcome of a Champions League match by being partial toward one side, the sport has problems.
Manchester City's Manuel Pellegrini crossed that line on Tuesday. After his team was beaten, 2-0, at home by Barcelona, Pellegrini repeatedly said that the Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson should not have been put in charge of the match.
"I think it is a mistake to nominate a referee that has had problems with Barcelona," Pellegrini said, a reference to suggestions that Eriksson had wrongly refused Barcelona several penalty kicks two years ago in a Champions League game against A.C. Milan. "Maybe he made mistakes in Milan," Pellegrini continued in televised remarks. "To have the same the referee here, I repeat, is a mistake."
The coach then said: "Of course I have a complaint — not only for the penalty and the red card. I think for the whole match we didn't have a referee with impartiality to both teams."
Pellegrini rightly identified the turning points of Tuesday's game at City's Etihad Stadium. One decision followed immediately after from the other after 53 minutes. The Manchester winger Jesús Navas ran into a Barcelona midfielder, Sergio Busquets, near the halfway line. There appeared to be minimal contact between the two, but Navas went to ground and appealed for a free kick.
Eriksson was indeed close at hand, and did not intervene.
Almost instantly, the ball was played toward the City penalty box, where Lionel Messi was lurking with intent. The Manchester defender Martín Demichelis was caught napping.
Demichelis, attempting a desperate tackle, lunged at his fellow Argentine. He missed the ball, caught the ankle of Messi, and brought him down.
Penalty, said the arbiter. Up popped Messi and, after giving the goalkeeper, Joe Hart, time to make his move on the line, Messi smartly converted the kick straight down the middle of the goal.
In slow-motion video replays, the first contact between the shoe of Demichelis and the leg of Messi was fractionally outside the line of the penalty area. The sliding momentum of the tackle took both players over the line.
So by the letter of the law, it might not have been a definite penalty. But it was a foul, Messi was through in a scoring position and the red card was the correct decision.
"He decided the game," Pellegrini said. "He decided the game because it was a foul by Busquets on Navas. The referee was three meters away and he didn't blow the whistle, and after that the foul from Demichelis is outside the box, it's not a penalty. Important mistakes against a great team like Barcelona make it difficult to win."
A neutral observer, however, might conclude that Eriksson was more right than he could be deemed wrong in both decisions.
Once Pellegrini has had the time to sleep on his accusations, and to rewind the video, he might conclude that far from lacking impartiality, the referee and his assistant actually made two calls that went in favor of City. There was a handball inside the box by Gaël Clichy that might easily have resulted in another Barça penalty kick. And the linesman had ruled out a goal scored by Gerard Pique by raising his flag erroneously and signaling offside.
The finer points of this pernickety use of replay technology would appear to indicate that the judgments for and against each side worked out just about even.
Being the reasonable man he is — and in that respect quite different from some other coaches at the top of the sport — Pellegrini should use his next audience in front of the media to wipe the slate clean and make his apologies to the Swedish referee.
Failing that, UEFA, the European governing body that runs the Champions League, should discipline the City coach.
The league, with its high profile and the wealth it generates, is too important, viewed too much by impressionable youths, to allow managers to spread accusations of bias against referees.
We know, of course, why managers and coaches and players say things they might later regret. It comes out in the heat of the moment, especially in the moments that follow the end of the game — moments, incidentally when FIFA, UEFA and national leagues insist that the managers and players speak to the media.
The consequence often is that we make more of angry words than of actions such as the second Barcelona goal on Tuesday. It came when Neymar and Dani Alves danced a Brazilian duet down the right touchline, exchanging passes until Alves cheekily drove the ball through the legs of the approaching Hart.
The final score means it will be very difficult for City to come back from a two-goal deficit in Barcelona three weeks from now. Only five teams have ever overturned such a margin away from home since the tournament began.
So four goals would see nigh-impossible. That is the task facing Bayer Leverkusen after it was devastated, 4-0, in the BayArena by visiting Paris St.-Germain.
Blaise Matuidi started Leverkusen's discomfort by preying on a defensive error to score after barely three minutes. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, inevitably, then did his thing, scoring with a penalty and then quickly striking again by curling the ball agonizingly out of the keeper's reach with a sublime volley from outside the penalty area.
Oh so nonchalant is Ibra, so casual in firing the bullets with barely a hint of backswing to his shots. That gives the Swede (yes, another one to blame) 10 goals in his last five Champions League appearances.
The Paris club, backed by Qatari money, must now be considered a danger to anyone in the tournament. Its latest purchase, Yohan Cabaye, formerly of Newcastle United, came off the bench in Leverkusen to strike the final goal. Like Ibrahimovic, he made it look easy, side-footing the ball into the net from a distance.
Leverkusen did not shift the blame to the referee.

News In Numbers: September 15
What is it? The decline in subscriber base of Reliance Communications in the five-year period between March 2011 andMarch 2016, according to figures from the telecom regulator.
Why is it important? The Anil Ambani-owned entity was the only one among the main telecom companies to lose subscribers. Yesterday, Reliance and Aircel, India's fourth-largest and sixth-largest telecom company by subscribers announced a merger to create the third-largest company by subscribers. Both companies are challenged on many fronts, and there remain questions on the alliance details.
Tell me more: During the same five-year period, Aircel grew its subscriber base by 58%. Similar growth was registered by the market leaders: Bharti (52%), Vodafone (47%) and Idea (95%).
$ 1 billion
What is it? The development aid India has offered Afghanistan during the two-day visit of Afghan president Ashraf Ghani.
Why is it important? Reflects the changing dynamics between India and Afghanistan. Even last year, Afghanistan was seen as being too close to Pakistan for India's comfort. This year, it is changing. While the aid is towards at Afghanistan's education, health, agriculture and other sectors, the two countries also agreed to strengthen "security and defense cooperation."
Tell me more: In May, India, Iran and Afghanistan signed a deal to develop a port in Iran that will let the three countries trade directly bypassing Pakistan.
$66 billion
What is it? The amount German drug and chemicals major Bayer will pay to buy American seed company Monsanto.
Why is it important? This is the largest ever cash acquisition on record. The merged entity would be the largest supplier of seeds and pesticides. Bayer has been gradually increasing its offer to buy Monsanto, in a sector that has been consolidating over the last several years. The resulting industry structure will impact farm and food systems across the world.
Tell me more: The merger is also expected to come under significant regulatory and legal scrutiny – both in US and Europe.
1.142 billion
What is it? The number of stars cataloged in a map released by European Space Agency.
Why is it important? This is the most detailed 3D map yet of Milky Way galaxy, and gives the precise positions and brightness of 1.142 billion stars, besides distances and motions of more than 2 million stars. It could "revolutionise our understanding of how stars are distributed and move across our Galaxy," according to Alvaro Giménez, ESA's Director of Science.
Tell me more: The data is from ESA's Gaia spacecraft — a space observatory which began its mission in December 2013, and is located about 1 million miles above Earth.
What is it? The number of doubles matches won by Leander Paes of India in Davis Cup, the world team format in men's tennis.
Why is it important? Paes is one victory short of matching the all-time record of 42 doubles wins in Davis Cup by Nicola Pietrangeli of Italy. It's, however, unlikely to come this weekend, when India takes on Spain, one of the world's best all-round teams.
Tell me more: Nicola Pietrangeli's doubles record was set over 66 Davis Cup ties, and included 12 losses. By comparison, Paes' doubles compilation has been over 52 ties and includes 11 losses.

The importance of Eddy current test and Hydrostatic pressure test to steel pipes
Do you know almost all of the steel pipe products are need to pass the Eddy current testing or Hydrostatic pressure test? And how important of Eddy current test and Hydrostatic pressure test to steel pipes? Today, Great Steel Pipe is sharing the effect of these two tests.
Hydrostatic testing and Eddy current testing are most common procedure used to qualify newly manufactured cylinders, spheres and tubes used for the transportation of dangerous products. Through these two tests, we could find cracks, folding, pits, inclusions, osteoporosis and other surfaces and near surface defects determine the location and defects size of tubes. The eddy current test it has been widely used in welding pipe and seamless tube inspection, and have many advanced properties for "seamless" welding pipe inspection. As we know the seamless steel pipe is widely use for conveying the high-pressure fluid, if the seamless steel pipe without through the test, the defects will affect the use of it, and it has a possible to cause a leak or explosion.


text: Thursday 3 July 2014 What does BASE endorsement mean for sports degrees? Sam Rylands MCIM Chartered Marketer, Marketing Coordinator for Solent's sport courses, explains what a BASES endorsement means for the sports science and sports coaching degrees. Our BSc (Hons) Applied Sport Science and BSc (Hons) Sport Coaching degrees were recently awarded a prestigious endorsement from the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). As BASES is the recognised standard for all sport and exercise science undergraduate courses in the UK, we're really proud to have been endorsed. For me, the best thing about the endorsement is the benefit to you, our students, who can be sure that our courses provide a high quality learning experience and access to a whole range of resources and opportunities during your time at Solent. Talking recently to our some of our Applied Sport Science and Sport Coaching students, I was really impressed with their dedication to their course and the vast array of work experience and placements they had undertaken both in the lab and in the field to really enhance their CVs. They'd taken advantage of our array of state-of-the-art facilities and sport science laboratories as well as the most extensive National Governing Body coach education programme in English higher education (which you can find out more about by checking out our coaching week video). Having an impressive CV is fantastic and essential for graduates nowadays, but even more importantly, our students consistently rate our courses highly and we've been in the National Student Survey's top three UK health, exercise and sport science courses for overall student satisfaction for three years running (2011, 2012, 2013). Bottom line is you have to enjoy your university experience to get the most out of it. And now our students have another reason to be happy at Solent; BASES-accredited degrees which will give you the required level of technical knowledge and understanding for full BASES accreditation. That's enough to put a smile on your face. Share this article Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Print

Loudoun County in Virginia held to its designation as the county with the highest MEDIAN household income.
http://www.LoudounTimes.com published a great article on that topic:
"The county has held the top spot, intermittently swapping with neighboring Fairfax County, for the past five years. Loudoun's median household income totals $119,540 followed by Fairfax County with a median income of $103,010; Howard County, Md., at $101,771; Hunterdon County, N.J., ($97,874); and Arlington County, Va., ($94,986)."
To read the article and the comments visit: http://www.loudountimes.com/index.php/news/article/economist_loudouns_richest_in_the_nation_designation_an_overstatement454/
NOTE: Loudoun County VA is located in the high cost of living area with high home prices and high taxes, therefore high median household income should NOT necessarily be equated with high median household wealth.
NOTE: Loudoun County MEDIAN household income of $119,540 means that 50% of households earned less than $119,540 in 2011 and 50% of households earned more than $119,540 in 2011 in Loudoun County, VA

26 September - Putting our lives on the line
While crossing Abbey Road via a pedestrian refuge today, I and a friend had
to wait just a foot or so from the passing traffic only to find a car travelling
at high speed pass behind us in the same direction to overtake the line of slower traffic.
One must wonder why one unelected man, somewhat deficient of brain cells, is able to impact the lives of so many people at the behest of a lobbying organisation and I feel that there will soon be injuries because of what Bexley council has inflicted on its residents. It would be ironic if their first victim was me!

It can be much more challenging to prevent shoplifting than most people realize.
You have to sometimes put your self in the thief's shoes and for an honest business owner it can be difficult. If you really want to effectively prevent shoplifting you need to be able to think like a shoplifter.
You know product is walking out your door without being paid for and you just can't seem to grasp how? Well put yourself in the shoplifters shoes and see if you can figure it out. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective.
Here are some tips for what to look for:
1) What type of products are going missing? Are they small items that can be slipped into pockets? Is it clothing? Is it possible that several things are going missing at once disguised as other things, perhaps slipped into boxes of larger items?
2) Where in your store are things going missing from? Is it an area or possibly multiple areas that aren't frequently passed by sales clerks? Behind high shelves? In corners?
3) When are you noticing things are gone? Is it the end of the night when you're sales people are cleaning and find tags on the floor or in shelves? Are you noticing lots of empty clothing hangers around your fitting rooms or empty spaces on shelves? Or does it not show up until inventory time?
When you start looking for these types of clues it becomes increasingly easier to identify solutions and prevent shoplifting in your business. You may have shoplifters enter your business but by noticing these things you can be better equipped to protect your merchandise from their sticky fingers.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for products to help you prevent shoplifting in your business.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Father (as in paternal parent, not God) (04/10/08)
- TITLE: Driver Error
By Sheri Gordon
I held my breath waiting for my uncle to finish his sentence. The extended pause was an obvious indication that something was wrong. But how more 'wrong' could it be?
"Your dad's autopsy showed no signs of a heart attack. The cause of the accident is being labeled 'driver error.'"
What?! No. That information had to be incorrect. My dad is, or rather was, the best driver I knew. He was my driver's ed teacher—he didn't make driving mistakes.
The preliminary accident report indicated that "the driver" was most likely momentarily distracted. The investigator theorized that my dad may have been changing the radio station or reaching for something.
No way. My dad never listened to the radio while driving—except baseball games. True, this was baseball season, but there would have been no reason for him to be changing the station. Besides, it was always Mom's responsibility to manage the radio dial.
And Dad would never be reaching for anything while driving, either. He was a two-hands-on-the-steering-wheel driver. He practiced what he had taught thousands of students in driver's ed.
Yet…the accident was deemed his fault. According to the investigator's report, Dad hit the berm on the opposite side of the road and over-adjusted, resulting in a head-on collision with a motor home. Because the accident had occurred 1500 miles away, none of us had actually seen the site. Therefore, we had to rely solely on information we received from the Canadian police. What we were being told, however, made absolutely no sense.
The first driving lesson Dad gave to every one of his students, and especially to each of his daughters, was this; if you end up on the shoulder on the opposite side of the road, DO NOT turn back into oncoming traffic—stop and stay put. He explained that the natural reaction of any driver coming toward us would be to swerve left—away from us. Therefore, if we tried to get back to the correct side of the road, we would actually be steering directly into oncoming vehicles.
So I could not believe the investigator's conclusion that Dad had overcorrected the steering. Maybe that's what most drivers would do, but not my dad.
The only viable explanation was that something had hindered Dad physically…most probably a heart attack. That made sense. In that scenario, Dad likely would not have been able to control the vehicle, and the berm may have thrown the car back into oncoming traffic.
Except…the coroner said there was no evidence of a heart attack. No evidence of any physical impediment whatsoever.
"Are you okay? She's pale…I think she's in shock." I knew my aunt was talking, but I couldn't immediately respond. I sat transfixed as the reality of the situation slowly escaped my lips.
"It was his fault. My dad killed my mom."
My sisters vehemently tried to defend Dad—understandably not willing to face the truth.
"No he didn't. It was an accident."
"He didn't do anything on purpose. It just happened."
Through numb pain, I tried to make them grasp the horrendous truth.
"Did you hear what the coroner said? No excuses. Dad killed Mom. He killed them both. He screwed up."
From the moment our family learned about the accident, we were all convinced that the autopsy would reveal a heart attack. In fact, that was our somber mantra: "Mom and Dad were in a head-on collision while on vacation. Dad probably had a heart attack. The accident was his fault. They both died."
But it was a lie. The truth was, Dad was to blame for our parents being killed. How could I live with that knowledge? How could I forgive him for taking them both away from me?
For years I harbored grievous anger and shameful resentment toward Dad. I loved him so much it ached, and missed him more than known words could adequately describe. But I was angry. What had he done wrong? Why hadn't he been paying more attention to the road? Why? Why? Why?
Every day I picked up the last picture I have of my parents and asked the questions I knew could never be answered. "What happened, Dad? Why did you turn back into traffic? What went wrong?"
Daily, the ensuing silence suffocated me.
Until today.
Today, I received the answer.
My grace is sufficient for you.

Friday, January 8, 2016
Z: (If someone looked at Zi , they would think that after a long stretch of working without looking up he was coming up for air, or most likely a snack. He would have fooled all, for the philosopher had taken hold, or was it just one of those sporadic thoughts that sometimes popped into the not-as-young-as-used-to-be heads) Most writers begin by writing cathartic experiences.
A: (Blinks as she looks up, having been in her own writing marathon: figuring out lunches for the week) Yup, I starter with a journal recounting my life. A good part of it was in code. Mom thought I was a good writer and didn't make it a secret that she wanted to read my journal. But mothers are like that, their kids are geniuses. I wanted to keep my personal thoughts private. And, yes it was therapeutic.
Z: There are risks. How does one transcend from a journal to exposing their thoughts and feelings to others?
A: What risks? (She wondered what other risk there could be then Mom figuring out the code. Which she did, and was so disappointed her daughter wrote about food not boys.) I believed I wrote well enough that others might enjoy my thoughts.
Z: When we are in our own minds we have shortcuts that we take with our writing. So just being cathartic could be confusing for a reader. (He paused, stroked his beard, found Jamie's (Corgi) tiny toy caught on a few whiskers) Going from confusing shorthand is grown from painstakingly describing feelings or events via the ideal of placing the audience as the purpose of the writing.
A: We write for others. My journal was for me... and... well... I guess a little for Mom.
Z: Should a writer use experience to create or pure imagination? (He did the eyeball bounce as if in tune to a ticking clock and hummed that Jeopardy song)
A: Trick question. Both is the correct reply.
Z: Yes. Nose on. (He touched his nose)
A: (For a moment she thought of Santa and was sad Christmas was over) But what about the author's privacy. So many people believe authors are what they write and that is so far from the truth. We are not murders... scallywags... world travelers... fantastic lovers.
Z: Speak for yourself about that last one.
A: Ego---ago-go!
Z: Writing cathartic or living within the characters...the balance between the two is how an author protects their privacy... if the work is all cathartic then the writer is vulnerable...but if the written pieces are about the characters and the scribe uses their own life experience to act as if they are in the shoes of the dramatist personae [story characters]... the final product is personal but personal to the characters not to oneself or even sometimes skewed memories. We write about pain knowing pain. Not that we had ever been kidnapped and knew such fear.
A: "When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable." This was written by Madeleine L'Engle.
Z: So apt! The fear of being vulnerable is why writers hold back. So separating the two forces of character driven feelings that the author can relate, is the key.
A: Can you write while stirring the stew?
Z: It is your turn to make lunch. (He thought huh, but let it go. Ang oft marched to the beat of a different toe tapper) Stew? Stirring? Literally or figuratively?
A: (She read from her screen) "They saw it like they lived it .... this was an ugly stew sprinkled with glitter, sugar and wax drippings, gasoline or fire, somewhere over an underpass, along the 101 freeway, bouncing between skyscrapers, 22-hour days cooled off by Coronas or some such piss at 7:30 in the morning in an old '50s Ford with religious crap scattered on the dash, chipped bones, fat lips, bruises, broken glass, sunshine-baked brain, dirty-sock-in-the-mouth-hangover." was written by Keith Morris. Was he anal retentive... detailed-oriented... ditzy... stirring stew or was this an outline or not?
Z: Morris wrote from some place within his spirit and soul. He knew it and shared it.
A: Should one wear cologne while writing a love scene?
Z: Do I?
A: Maybe you should. (She spritzed herself) "The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose." I don't know who wrote that. Wish I had. But as writers when we give of ourselves we know the telltale residue of each idea. I remember moments a washed within the perfumed scents. It helps get in touch with a place I need. I wrote more sensuous if I feel sensuous. I suspect you do as well.
Z: "Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt of, not swallowed" I feel Josh Billings thoughts. "Sweat is the cologne of accomplishment" ... "Sex appeal is the keynote of our civilization." This was written by Henri Bergson. So in order to communicate such depth of emotions one has to have felt them as well as imagined them ripening into glorious moments. To emote we have to have felt.
A: Artists must suffer. (She held the pained, breathy look for a beat too long)
Z: Then write for others about it.
A: Sometimes you can be very wise.
Z: Just sometimes?
We'd love to hear from anyone interested in what we do. Anyone who writes us at email@example.com (Write - Blog Dawn - in subject line) and leaves an s-mail address, we will send you a free ebook (choose erotic or romantic thriller) and add you to any future mailings.

Exploring new places while running has become one of my favorite things to do. When I am running the same old places over and over I can sometimes forget to enjoy the beauty (unless its my favorite tree or pier in the Bayside, then I always enjoy it). I recently saw some posts and heard some chatter about the new park in Berlin, Maryland called "Berlin Falls Park" so I knew I had to check it out.
I have only covered Delaware trails (Assawoman Canal Trail, Gordon's Pond, Assawoman Wildlife Refuge, Fresh Pond, Trap Pond) but living so close to Maryland I figured it was time to explore some nearby Maryland trails with the first being Berlin Falls Park.
The park is nestled on a 62-acre plot of land that was once the home of a Tyson's Chicken plant located off of Old Ocean City Boulevard. It is right past Burley Oak and Swell and offers plenty of parking! To get to the park you simply turn by the big tan building and head straight back to the park entrance.
With this being a newly added outside area for Berlin there is still a lot of work to be done, but the 1-mile trail is a great start for more outside options including walking, running and bird watching. If you follow "Berlin Falls Park" on facebook they post events which include bird-watching!
For my day of exploring I decided to ask my brother to come along. He did not feel like running, but he rode his bike along side me as we explored the trail. The trail itself is a nice 1-mile loop around ponds that are home to many ducks and birds. We saw plenty of ducks and geese as we made our loop around the trail. The trail is fairly wide and easy to run on. You do have to watch your footing in some spots but overall we made out fine-both on bike and foot. We also saw what looked like hydroponic devices in one of the ponds. It will be interesting to see what all they do with this area in the future. There is so much potential here!
Below (left) is map of just the 1-mile trail from my Garmin Connect app. We decided to also take things into downtown Berlin to add an additional 3 miles (map on the right). Running Berlin is great- so much to look at, including beautiful houses all decorated perfectly and of course historic sights like the Taylor House Museum (where I got married). They have sidewalks and so many different roads where you can take your running if you decide to venture out from Berlin Falls Park like we did.
I already have plans to go back to explore and run the trail again this weekend! I love knowing there are new, safe places to run so close to my house! Have you been to check out Berlin's newest park?

new addition, trouby+modcan or: black johnson vs moby dick
br>i have more than i can explore at this point. its official. this first video is a really simple thing. a miniwave voice through mulitmode filter and a bass drum derived from arp filter. all sequenced by the trouby and a simple slope. i am totally experimenting. nothing ground breaking but hopefully potential is relayed.
br>I liked this video before I even heard it.
br> br>
br>PS. Sounds great, now that I've actually played it.
PPS. Awesome "rack frames!"
br> br>
i have been really into the Math Trigger Sequencer, been wanting to see it in action br> br>
br>there will most assuredly be more. high fun level with this set of systems. i am missing more drum voices and some mixers for trigger fuckery. the mixers will be built imminently.dunno know where i will mount it. br> br>
br>for the drum voices theres a 'simple' solution:
how about vintage rhythm boxes? they have to be modified, so broken or from vintage home organs. each drum has to get its own trigger input - a thing for the experts
br> br>

There's always . . .
br> br>
br>Want. br> br>
br>Hey dude, how are the Trouby modules set up? Specifically the Math Trigger Seq & the Trigger Seq. Is that the Master Clock on the right?
Just trying to figure out what I saw. Because I know what I heard, and it was nice!
br> br>
br>you ain't heard nothing yet. i needed my quad unity mixer to get full sequencing power but i built that and troubleshot it last night. i have at least two videos in mind to shoot atm. the modules i have currently are from left to right: masterclock gen, quint inv, digi buff, math trig seq and lastly trig seq. they are a system. the bare minimum for the system imo would be the masterclock,math trig and reg trig seq. thr buffer is good for distro of trigs. they are fun as hell particularly sitting in the same room as the modcan touch seq. i went from having almost no sequencing to kind of ruling the world. i am having to get a little creative making drum voices out of the modular but that is NOT a problem 8_)
i will try to shoot more soon. i am still learning my system so i don't like to shoot things before i know wtf is going on. the installation of the trouby has some diy aspect as the power is not standardized in my case but if you aren't afraid of wiring/mounting things up, i cannot recommend these things highly enough. versatile and fun. it is a very different experience than the modcan. all control is physical/manual so it performs like an instrument more than a conceptual vc-able mastermind. you have to touch, and that is fucking fun. i couldnt ask for a funner drum brain especially for the price. br> br>
br>Great br> br>
br>up next, building drum voices. br> br>
br>i think i need another trig seq. it is just too much fun. br> br>
br>The explanatory video was helpful; thanks!
I guess that the Start/Stop thing is just an "enable" signal, coming from the master clock?
Would love to see more of the Math Trigger Sequencer in action, to get a better feel for how it works. br> br>
br>yeah the start/stop is just a high or ground voltage depending on whether the start or stop switch is engaged. it basically says: " you can now accept a clock to move through your stages sequencers". next will be drum voices as controlled mostly by the math trig seq. and it just occurs to me that while it is fun and functional, it is the best light show i have seen in a module maybe ever. its beautiful to see it bouncing around but it is also functionally perfect in that it simply tells you where the active trigger outputs are falling per step. transcendent imo. br> br>
br>hers a drum experiment
br>here is a more fully fleshed out one
br>very very excited, the second trigger sequencer showed up today unexpectedly! after having built the bintic and quad mixers, the system is just amazing when coupled with the modcan.

However, our design services can be a great way to receive expert guidance, drawings, specifications and material lists for an outdoor project you would like to do yourself. We use computer aided design to help create short and long term plans. These plans can be broken down into manageable phases. Custom designed plans can save you thousands of dollars in wrong plant purchases and incorrect layout.

Using closures to achieve data hiding in OO Perlby saurabh.hirani (Beadle)
|on Jun 12, 2009 at 14:02 UTC ( #770977=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Hi guys,
I was just reading about closures on perl.com and read that Tom Christiansen said that closures can be used to achieve data hiding in OO perl. I thought about it and came up with an example to do that:
A module written without closures:
Its corresponding use:
A Data::Dumper dump of $dirtyeater gives
$dirtyeater can eat food if he knows what to change in the objects data structure. I know that if you are playing with the object's ds you do it at your own risk but I want to prevent the end user from changing any object ds specific variables. So I write another module called Dinnerclosure.pm:
The testcode:
$dirtyeater cannot change the 'cleanhands' flag. If he does, he will be changing the $selfmirage hashref which does not decide cleanliness, $self does. And $dirtyeater cannot access $self because the object is:
WYDSIWYDG - What you don't see is what you don't get :)

There are several different methods of testing a solution's pH – a digital meter, litmus paper, or reagent drops can be used to find the pH value of acidic or alkaline water. Each one of these methods works in a different way and each one is attached with different capabilities and precautions.
Meters, by far, are the most accurate method of reading pH, but need constant calibration – a huge drawback… Continue reading

Any discussion about the fittest men and women in the world has to include "tactical athletes" at some point. From special operations warriors to SWAT officers, these operatives have to maintain elite fitness not as an option, but as a necessity. For them, being out of shape doesn't result in failing to set a PR or bailing on a squat. It could be a matter of life and death—theirs or someone else's.
The training required to be a 24/7-fit tactical athlete is as unique and unpredictable as their duties and schedules, which makes it tough to make any generalizations about how they should train. However, there's no doubt about the types of qualities that make these men and women effective.
But make no mistake: This style of training isn't just for special operators. "We can all can benefit from training in a tactical style," says Steve Weatherford, NFL player and True Grit athlete. "Balancing strategic strength work, power training, and running intervals has been a game changer for me—literally! It leaves me lean, conditioned, and packing more strength per pound than ever. But just as importantly, it trains the sort of undefinable grit that serves helps our fighting men and women accomplish any grueling and unpredictable physical task. Who doesn't want that?"
If you're preparing for a career in a tactical field, are a soldier or officer in need of a plan, or just want to train like hell for anything and everything the field can throw at you, this is your plan. This is the gritty world of tactical fitness.
The Operative Word
Depending on the specific needs of his or her job, individual demands for any tactical athlete will vary. There are a few principles that are universally present, however. An effective training program for any tactical operator needs to focus on:
- Injury prevention
- Aerobic and anaerobic conditioning
- Strength
- Power
Injury prevention tops the list of priorities because an injured operator is a liability to themselves and their team, plain and simple.
Aerobic conditioning is also paramount, for several reasons. First and foremost, aerobic conditioning is vital to the job itself. Tactical operators need conditioning that goes beyond the anaerobic system. Whether it's chasing a suspect, running up 15 flights of stairs to a fellow officer calling for help, or wrestling with someone who refuses to go quietly, eventually the aerobic system plays a significant part.
In addition, many organizations still measure aerobic capacity in some form as a job requirement. Anaerobic training comes into play at those times, when shorter bursts of conditioning are necessary.
Strength and power are also important for any type of combat athlete. When overcoming resistance from hostile opposition, if all other things are equal, the stronger and more explosive person will win. In addition to raw power, there are also more specific strength demands for the tactical athlete, such as grip and neck strength.
How to have it all
Even with all the varying qualities a tactical athlete needs, having an effective program isn't enough. The program also needs to be an efficient one that doesn't present needlessly complicated daily demands. For that reason, the program I've presented below can be arranged a couple of different ways.
Perform the warm-up before each workout, followed by strength training. As for the conditioning workouts, you can perform them either directly after the strength training or as independent workouts. The former option will help you learn to keep going when your muscles want to stop. The latter will allow more intensity.
You'll notice a strong emphasis on unilateral movements to develop balance and prevent injury. The strength-training portion is designed to build strength and explosiveness, and is broken into a higher-volume initial phase to develop a strong base, followed by a higher-intensity phase focused on raw strength and power.
The burning sensation you'll soon feel in your forearms is a sign that you're also developing grip strength. For the tactical athlete, grip strength is immensely important, whether for controlling an unruly suspect, climbing, or weapon retention. Using thick grips is a great way to develop hand strength, so expect to use them in a range of lifts.
The conditioning portion of this program follows a similar pattern to the strength training. The first four weeks are designed to develop a strong aerobic base, followed by a higher-intensity block with a higher focus on anaerobic development.
Two Months to Tactical Strength

Week 8
Day 1

Day 2: Slow jog 20 min.
Day 3: Rest
Strength and athleticism for any challenge
The end result of this program is a stronger, fitter, grittier athlete or combatant—no matter what type of uniform he or she wears. When you're done, you can repeat the plan again, building on the progress you've made, or you can begin a different program with different goals.
What you pick is up to you, because you'll be—and feel—ready for anything after this!

Cohesion Counts Conference
On Thursday 25th March 2010 we revealed our findings from an innovative new HMR project designed to build and measure community cohesion at the Cohesion Counts Conference, The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester.
The conference attracted people working in housing and regeneration who are interested in building and measuring community cohesion in new estates and existing residential areas.
Cohesion Counts was based on seven different projects devised across neighbourhoods in Oldham and Rochdale. The projects were a mix of practical hands-on schemes as well as evaluative research. They included reviewing the impact of consultation on cohesion, building bridges between communities and a philosophy project which brings together young and old.
Cohesion Counts also gave delegates the opportunity to share their own experiences of managing cohesion issues, developing best practice, evaluating projects and in particular to discuss what works and what doesn't.
We also launched a new interactive website at the conference, a good practice guide to building and measuring community cohesion, where more information is available and where people can go to share their own methods and experiences. www.cohesioncounts.org.uk
Cohesion Counts is an HMR initiative jointly funded by the Tenant Services Authority with contributions from Oldham and Rochdale Councils.

Chris Barz
Hometown: Largo, MD
Twitter: @ChrisBarz
Pros: Clever, witty wordplay; also a producer.
Cons: Occasionally overdoes it with the #hashtg flow.
Essential Listening: Class[Sickz] Out The Dark
Representing PG County, Chris Barz is pound for pound among the best rappers on this list without question. Barz keeps listeners on their toes with his lyrics, dropping gems left and right, though he occasionally pushes the hashtag flow to the limit.
From the desire to be great to school just not working out, he rhymes about real-world issues, and accurately spins stories for those who don't live and die on the corners.
He's worked with DMV artists such as Tabi Bonney, and producers Tone P and Best Kept Secret, and the video for his relatable track "Dreamers" featuring Soul Train Award Nominee Jesse Boykins lll was played on MTVU.
His talents also extend beyond the mic, as he co-produced the beat for "Don't Hold Your Applause," the lead track from Wale's MMG debut Ambition. With effortlessly smooth lyrics over mellow beats and a multitude of skills, Chris Barz can easily be one of the next artists from the area to flourish.
