text: Coaching is a concept that exists in other industries and was adapted and introduced by our company in 2007 to benefit money laundering prevention efforts within companies. Coaching is a custom-designed, one on one, process designed to complement traditional training, focusing on enhancing an anti-money laundering program and being able to exceed industry standards by addressing trouble zones, creating functional compliance departments, unleashing and maximizing individual and team potential so that you and your company reap the benefits of working in a prevention "culture" environment. Coaching also protects your company by offering you the tools to assess, manage and coordinate recovery situations that may involve scandals, negative press and reputation related circumstances.

Religion and the Environment
(NYT Photo/Fabrizio Costantini)
In the past, TreeHugger has covered the developing relationship between religion and environmental conservation. However, this subject has gained an increasing amount of attention during the last week. The second part of PBS's Moyers on America, which aired last Wednesday was titled, Is God Green? This program focused on the growing environmental consciousness of conservative evangelical Christians. Meanwhile, an article in yesterday's New York Times, describes an association called 'Interfaith Power and Light'. The group has arranged for the screening of films on climate change (including "An Inconvenient Truth") for 4,000 congregations of varying faiths. Furthermore, the association has worked to promote energy efficiency and resource conservation. The article highlights one of the group's state affiliates, Michigan Interfaith Power and Light, that has worked to prevent the release of a combined 14,130 tons of carbon dioxide in 2005 and 2006.

Dear Student,

OTA 105878/Xenia Jones
Andrew Jackson: Crevecoeur's "back-settler"?
In his work, 'Letters from an American Farmer', Frenchman Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur documented the life, attitudes and perspectives that made up the identities and world-views of the 'American' in the early days of the nation. It constructed a view of what it means to be an American in the eyes of those who weren't, in particular, those from Europe. His descriptive narrative constructed observations that explained work ethic as well as politics to show what drives an 'American', his concerns and motivations in the context of his environment and his world. Among the many ideas he shared in this work is the notion of the 'back-setter'. For the author, a back-settler is one who lives outside the 'bounds of community', preferring to be on the edges whose reason of being too far-removed can imply that he or she or his family and small community is outside the bounds of the law. We can see this view in the following lines (from Letter III):
"We should rather begin with converting our back-settlers; and now if I dare mention the name of religion, its sweet accents would be lost in the immensity of these woods. Men thus placed, are not fit either to receive or remember its mild instructions; they want ...
Solution Summary
Founding Father Pres. Andrew Jackson's life and actions are detailed in this solution in such a manner that discusses as to how he fits the description of the frontier 'back settler' as defined by Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur. References are listed for further exploration of the topic.

I was riding on a bus, much like one would expect a tour bus to be, with maroon interior, large windows, and many people. I had an aisle seat. We were driving on a highway toward a large city. It was a sunny summer day. There was a lake to the left.
"What the hell is that?" I sensed from a person nearby, as nobody in my dreams really talk. All eyes shifted to the left where we saw, in black water, something reptilian. Its long, dark, slender neck poked out of the water, followed briefly by fins and its back as it dove into the depths. Unfortunately, the driver was also distracted by this. He warned us as he struck what may have been a ramp and sent us careening through the air. I held onto the handle in front of me with white knuckles, but for some reason, the driver told me that I should let go. We landed without incident and went on our way.
Hours later, nearing dusk, we stopped for a break near the lake's shore. There were many people already there, mostly truckers gathering for a barbecue. I peeked around and being not very hungry, I headed for the bathrooms. I then heard behind me, a woman was making a fuss about the bathrooms being off limits.
"I've really gotta pee," she said to herself, and marched off. I followed her. She went behind the main building to where the toilets were. Right before she entered the bathroom, I saw it emerge from the dark water. It was the sea monster from earlier! It flippered itself with frightening swiftness to the woman and dragged her up into the woods near the road. I was terrified, I had to get out of there. I ran up to where the bus was, but it wasn't there. I looked for the truckers, but they weren't there, either. I was alone. I ran down the now deserted country road. There were wet flipper marks that spanned the width of the road. I ran. In the woods to the left there was a red blinking light that I knew were the remains of the woman. I ran. I could not run fast enough. I looked down to my feet. I discovered that I was CRAWLING! My hands looked like tiny baby's hands. I crawled. The dark shape loomed behind me...

UNIQLO may be one of the most underrated brands out there, but for me, being big girl size by Japanese standards, it has more often than not been a lifeline. Their skinny jeans are truly awesome – my own are VERY well loved (and going a bit thin at the knees in fact). They are an excellent go to for basics, are affordable, and always have exciting collaborations and projects in the pipeline.
So, being a UNIQLO aficionado, it was with trembling anticipation that I greeted their current scheme.
Shibuya station recently played host to an event that brought hundreds (possibly thousands) of enthusiasts flocking to its platforms – no, not an appearance by Arashi or Lady Gaga or a Korean boyband, but the merging of the Toyoko and Fukutoshin lines (while many have said it's more convenient, I shall refrain from comment as I rarely use it). For anyone not in Japan, this was rather big news.
The space where the old platform used to be has now magically morphed into an event space, and this (if you were wondering where this was all going) is where UNIQLO comes in.
UNIQLO have set up a funky UT pop-up shop there for four days only. How novel!
Obviously, it was my duty to go and take a look and it did not disappoint.
Where the platform used to be, a kaleidoscopic array of T-shirts festooned the space. People were taking photos galore, and rummaging through the racks to find the One.
Now, why is this so exciting, you might be wondering?
The concept? Let me break it down.
1) Pick out your T-shirt (mine was a very cute Minnie Mouse one).
2) Shoot your 3 second stop motion video (I chose to blow kisses to an adoring (I wish) audience).
3) Said video is then digitally uploaded onto the massive continually scrolling plasma screen that has been set-up.
4) Pay for your T-shirt (which will now be even cheaper because of the photo shoot).
5) Play "Where's Wally?" (or rather "Where's [insert name here]?") and find yourself on screen.
6) Feel like a superstar (and I did!).
I had such a fun time doing this!
UNIQLO really know how to make you feel like a star.
Thank you UNIQLO!

Jackson Shaw makes the point that the last thing that most enterprises need is to take on is provisioning their SaaS identities when they are still struggling with their internal identities:
We have a standard called "Services Provisioning Markup Language" (SPML) which was specified to help provision identities via a web service. Does your SaaS vendor support that standard? I'll bet they do not! What do you do then? I've met with hundreds of customers over the years and many are still struggling with provisioning inside the enterprise! Throw in SaaS provisioning – via some hairbrained interface because the vendor doesn't support SPML – and it only adds to the organization's identity management complexity.
Of course having an SPML capability in a SaaS is not going to be much help if the enterprise doesn't have a provisioning system in place with SPML support. SPML support is not widely available in provisioning systems (although there are a few that have it out of the box).
Ashraf Motiwala echoes the point and also points out that enterprise are going to want to leverage not only their internal provisioning systems, but also their workflow and role management systems as well:
Recreating a workflow engine, role management, delegation, etc. in the cloud seems to just create redundancy for these capabilities, especially for organizations that have already dropped a few dollars to deploy an IdM solution on premise. Why would I drop my existing investment here? (Perhaps there is a compelling case, but I just don't see it.) I would much rather find a solution that proxies the SPML requests from my existing provisioning solution that handles all the complexities (or "hairbrained interfaces") for the SaaS apps on the backend!
The upshot is that SaaS vendors should be rolling out SPML interfaces to their services. But just like with the traditional enterprise software vendors, they most likely won't do it until the customers demand it. Until it becomes a selection criteria it probably won't happen.

10th picture
Judy over at Yellowstone Dreaming tagged me to post the tenth picture I've taken. To make digging through all my files easier, I'm using the 10th picture from my new camera.
Here it is, shot on November 13, 2009 on a snowy day while driving from West Yellowstone to Bozeman. I saw some great light shining through the snow clouds and pulled over to grab a shot. It looks almost like a black and white photo, but isn't.
Speaking of Judy, also check out her post on how to have your own Yellowstone adventure, and for some courage read this one about quitting her jobs to come here.

A magnitude 5.4 earthquake rocked northern Taiwan early yesterday, the biggest temblor Taiwan has seen since since the beginning of the year, the Central Weather Bureau said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The quake, with its epicenter in Yilan County, was felt most significantly in Yilan's Luodong Township (羅東), where an intensity-5 tremor lasted for 26.7 seconds, according to bureau data.
Many residents in northern Taiwan, including those in the capital, were wakened and could feel the strong earthquake that lasted for more than 10 seconds at about 4:25am.
An aftershock with a magnitude of 4.2 occurred in Yilan about two minutes later, with both quakes representing normal releases of energy, bureau Seismology Center director Kuo Kai-wen (郭鍇紋) said.
There were 20 earthquakes registering a magnitude of 5 or greater in 2012 and last year respectively, he said.
The epicenter of the latest earthquake was in Datong Township (大同), 16.8km west of Yilan City, at a depth of 61.9km, the bureau said.

Top 5 fantasy QBs on the rise in 2017Leave a comment
June 18, 2017 by coachcarter717
(Courtesy of Ian Halperin/UPI)
Written by Carter Cotrupi
32 teams. 32 quarterbacks. Out of all my fantasy football lists currently published on The Nosebleeds, this top five list of sleeper QBs is the hardest to assess.
For one, every rookie or sophomore quarterback last season showed great potential for their future as a starter, meaning the original cast of reliable fantasy playmakers is expanding.
New faces to the league like Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston both increased their fantasy value in their sophomore seasons and are challenging veterans like Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers for QB1 consideration on your team.
The most common mistake that I see looking around at different fantasy football drafts is drafting a QB for name value alone. A lot of fantasy owners panic after Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees are off the board because they want to avoid choosing from the leaders of lower-tier teams.
Understandably, there are less than a handful of fantasy owners in each draft who would want to risk their QB1 pick on a rookie over a seasoned veteran, but sometimes lady luck hands you an awful draft position that keeps you from the cream of the crop.
Fear not, because the young QBs at the kid's table are ready to eat with the grown-ups. Look past the shorter resumes and focus instead on the potential futures for these five quarterbacks.
1.Mike Glennon
(Courtesy of Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire)
Pros: Mike Glennon knows that the Chicago Bears just drafted his future replacement in Mitchell Trubisky. Unlike the situation that erupted between Sam Bradford and the Eagles last season, Glennon has his mind set on taking control of the offense and making it his in 2017. His focus this offseason has been developing chemistry with his new team after spending the last two years shadowing Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay.
Cons: This is a tough pick to predict. Who knows if John Fox is going to be pressured by upper management to shove Mitch Trubisky into the spotlight after the team traded an arm and a leg to snag him at 2nd-overall. Trubisky is not the "focus" of the offseason and has not been given many reps at quarterback with the first team, but who knows what plans the coaching staff has for him and the veteran Glennon as the season draws closer.
Two Cents: If you believe in the "all-in" mentality, then Mike Glennon is your quarterback for 2017. He knows that nothing is guaranteed after this upcoming season and his performance could make-or-break his chances of being a starter for Chicago or another organization. Reports coming out of OTAs have been consistent with the theme of the Glennon being recognized as the primary leader of the offense.
- Brian Hoyer
(Courtesy of Patrick Tehan/Bay Area News Group)
Pros: Brian Hoyer and Kyle Shanahan are reunited in San Francisco after their previous experience together in 2014, where Hoyer was the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Hoyer is back with a coach who understands when to step back and let the players play.
One of the major reasons that Matt Ryan enjoyed a tremendous 2016 season was because Coach Shanahan handed the reigns over to the veteran playmaker and allowed Ryan to shape the offense in his vision. Hoyer is nowhere near the top tier of fantasy quarterbacks heading into this season, but he has the experience of a journeyman that is crucial when adapting to new offensive schemes.
Cons: The 49ers have been like poison to fantasy owners the past few seasons. The team is also in one of the most defense-heavy divisions in the NFL that includes the Seattle Seahawk's Legion of Boom, the LA Rams and Bruce Arian's Arizona Cardinals. The rest of the season is stamped with other top-ranked defenses like the New York Giants and Houston Texans.
The biggest obstacle to Hoyer and Coach Shanahan will be how fast they can rebuild an offensive line that can withstand the pressure that these defenses will apply.
Two Cents: In a recent interview, Hoyer spoke about having a leg up on the other QBs in the 49ers roster because of his previous experience in Cleveland under Shanahan. The complexity of Shanahan's offense might hinder some of the new weapons in the offense, but Hoyer has shown confidence in knowing what to expect from his former offensive coordinator.
At 31, he is in his 9th season and playing for his 7th NFL team. Hoyer's best season as a starter came from Shanahan's coaching in Cleveland in 2014. He threw for 3,326 yards snd 12 TDs in the 13 games he started. With the right coach at his side and the opportunity to be QB1, 2017 could Brian Hoyer's year.
- DeShone Kizer
(Courtesy of Bill Bender/Sporting News)
Pros: I'm calling it right now: the era of Cody Kessler at QB1 will not be a lengthy one. Many things have changed in the Cleveland Browns front office, but one consistent factor that always seems to come into play is the advantage of rookies over veterans on the roster.
Drafted in the second round, DeShone Kizer looks to be the future of the Browns and if he can put together a decent training camp performance in the offseason, then he will benefit from Kessler's participation in last year's humiliating quarterback circus.
Cons: Barring a miraculous showing from Kessler or Osweiler, there is no question that Kizer will get the starting nod from head coach Hue Jackson sometime during this season. The only downside to that guarantee is the absence of a timeframe.
How many chances will the Browns give their veteran QBs before turning to the more athletically gifted youngster? Coming out of OTAs, reports have shown that Kizer is a "raw" talent which usually translates to a good overall player, but not the type of leader that Coach Jackson wants for his offense.
Two Cents: Recent news coming out of Cleveland's OTAs is that Kizer has already shown his physical superiority over the rest of the group. Cody Kessler is the most likely candidate to start the season for the Browns given his previous experience spearheading the offense.
Brock Osweiler has been a "pleasant surprise" to Coach Jackson and Kevin Hogan has been splitting reps with Kizer on the third-team offense. However, no one has impressed upper management quite like Kizer and Cleveland's history shows that they put a lot of faith in starting their youngest players. Draft him late to avoid waiver-wire strategists from plucking him during the season.
- Ryan Tannehill
(Courtesy of Timothy T. Ludwig/USA TODAY Sports)
Pros: The Miami Dolphins became the first AFC East team other than the New England Patriots to earn a playoff bid since Rex Ryan led the New York Jets to the AFC Championship in 2010. Such tremendous progress for the organization came at the cost of losing the guy who got them there, Ryan Tannehill.
As easy as it is to make fun of him, Tannehill has been steadily improving his play calling and downfield vision. Under the tutelage of the young head coach Adam Gase, the Miami offense has seen a resurgence that led them to a 10-6 season and a wildcard spot.
Cons: A partially torn ACL is not something to take lightly. According to Tannehill, the veteran entering his sixth NFL season did not have surgery in the offseason, but opted instead for stem cell treatment which helps, but is not a permanent solution. He will have to wear a knee brace heading into the season. I hope Coach Gase is confident with his O-line because any number of big hits against his starting QB could spell the end of his season once again.
Two Cents: It wouldn't be a sleeper list without including someone with a "will-they/won't they" injury risk. There is nothing more worrisome for an NFL player than getting back on the field having one more strike towards a career-ending injury.
With talented receivers in Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills complemented by Jay Ajayi leading the backfield, Tannehill has all the weapons he needs to build on the progress his team made last season. If his blockers can stay healthy, then RT should make an impact in the AFC East large enough for another playoff run.
- Carson Wentz
(Courtesy of Yong Kim/Philly.com)
Pros: There are not many rookie quarterbacks that have the readiness and mental fortitude to start all 16 games of the NFL regular season. Last season, we saw two rookie quarterbacks supersede the veterans above them and the world was introduced to Dak Prescott and Carson Wentz.
Draft analysts drooled over the prospect of Carson Wentz. At 6'5" and 237lbs, this rookie was built to be a starting quarterback. After Sam Bradford was shipped off to the desperate Minnesota Vikings right before the start of the regular season, the rookie Wentz was thrust into the role with high expectations. Not only did he perform well with that kind of pressure, he earned the respect of his veteran teammates both on and off the field.
Cons: The sophomore quarterback is not exempt from facing a difficult schedule this season. Wentz has already proven that he can hang with the big dogs around the league, but he will be tested again against stout defenses such as the New York Giants, Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs.
As great as his rookie season was, there were times when his inexperienced showed and his current ceiling is limited to the weapons he has around him. Second only to Dak Prescott in rookie QB hype last year, Wentz already has the future of the Eagles resting on his shoulders. Will he fly or plummet in his second year?
Two Cents: The coaching staff has already stated how their moves in free agency were done with the concept of building around the young quarterback. It is abundantly clear that Doug Pederson has immense faith in his young QB and the rest of the roster is already seeing Wentz as a leader of the offense.
In 2016, the Eagles had the 8th-ranked offensive line unit despite star RT Lane Johnson's 10-game suspension and a mixed bag of injuries across the board. Now that the foundation has settled, Wentz will be able to utilize the new additions to his offensive arsenal, including Alshon Jeffrey, Torrey Smith and LeGarrette Blount. The only fault in Wentz' fantasy production was his lack of consistency. The word of the day is 'optimism'. With a year of leading the offense under his belt, expect more frequent QB1-level performances.

14th day for Paoleas, 637 A.P.
Maleeka: thank you. Though I'll be busy working on the Inn over the next couple of months, I will be sure to take the time and write in this journal.
- Vikas
20th day for Paoleas, 637 A.P.
Meeting with Farmer's Guild.
2nd day for Havani, 637 A.P.
I know you say I don't write enough in this journal, and I always say that I can never find the time to sit down and write. Today, however, things are different. Something wonderful happened that must be written down: we are expecting our first child.
As I sit here reading those powerful words – Expecting Our First Child – it dawns on me that I am feeling both joy and fear. My heart warms at the thought of a small baby in my arms, yet at the same time fear settles in with all sorts of questions.
Am I ready to be a father? I have never cared for a child before, so how could I be ready? Then again, can anybody truly be ready to be a father? Or is it something you learn as time goes on, adapting to your child's needs as they change from day to day, month to month and year to year. These are tough questions indeed, and I'll admit my answers, or lack thereof, scare me.
In the end though, regardless of how prepared I am, I am quite certain I will always love our child as much as I love you, even if I don't know what I'm doing.

The Seychelles are a truly spectacular group of islands off the coast of Africa. Life here is placid and free of the stress and fusiness of Western civillasation yet it's also a nation with one of the highest GDP per capita in Africa.
A country that defies the stereotypes and often lives in the shadow of other wrongfully hyped destinations such as The Maldives, The Seychelles were a natural travel choice after my trip to Hawaii. Here is a video from my journey to The Seychelles, plus a few pictures from paradise. I explored the islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, each of which brim with their own distinct personality and panache.
Scroll to the bottom for flight links.
La Digue is my favourite of the islands in The Seychelles. This small island paradise contains very few cars and most people use bikes to get from A to B. With almost no theft here, it's not even neccessary to lock one's bike. Anse Severe, on the Northeastern shore of La Digue, not so far from the endearing Takamaka Cafe, is probably the best of all the many snorkelling spots on La Digue.
Recommendations for where to eat on La Digue:
Fish Trap Restaurant & Bar – La Passe
This establishment is located by the beach (in fact some of its tables are in the sand, hence its charm). Meals are plentiful and well-cooked but prepare to pay handsomely for them. The service is highly commendable and the bar area is quite cosy.
This family- run shack serves some of the best octopus i've eaten anywhere in the world, at a decent price and with all the crudeness, love and quirky touches you'd expect.
There are also cheap sandwiches and several other hot meals on offer. Beachside seating and a passing Aldabra tortoise on the side of the road added even more charm to this quaint place.
This quaint takeaway serves up a riveting selection of dishes at great prices. We had the tuna salad and an avocado salad, both of which tasted great! The ladies in the kitchen know their stuff.
Ice cream scoops for a cool 15 rupees.
Where to stay on La Digue:
La Diguoise
Venture north from Anse Severe and experience the rocky, untamed wilderness of this part of the island. Look out for wild Giant Aldabra Tortoises that wander the narrow roads (please don't sit on them).
Anse Source D'Argent is the sort of place you'd shoot a Bacardi commercial – and many have been made here. This slice of paradise offers one of the Seychelles' best and most picturesque beaches.
Wade around the rocks at the southern fringe of the beach around midday and you'll end up on Anse Pierrot which you will probably have all for yourself. Be sure to wander back up through the shallows before the tide comes in the afternoon or you'll end up having to swim.
Anse Source D'Argent is part of L'Union Estate so you'll have to pay a small fee to enter the area. Stop by the Giant Aldabra Tortoise enclosure where you'll see some of these magnificent reptiles in action, quite literally.
If you're thirsty, there's a small beach bar at the start of the beach that serves a refreshing selection of fruit drinks and cocktails.
At some times of the year, Grand Anse is a great surfing spot as the waves hit the beach with verve. When I was here, however, the waves broke right by the beach and faded into the steep bank almost immediately. This didn't stop the local body boarders from riding their luck at dusk though.
If you're feeling adventurous, clamber over the rocks and make your way to Petite Anse, a more exposed beach that you can also access by following the rocky trail between the two beaches.
Getting to Grand Anse is only possible by bike and the path winds up and down the hillside so pedal carefully lest your chain fall off (speaking from experience 😉 .) You'll also find a decent restaurant at Grand Anse.
Mahe is the biggest of the islands of The Seychelles and Beau Vallon is to its capital what Copacabana is to Rio – a lively, riveting stretch of sand that everyone seems to love. Beau Vallon was the first beach I set foot on as I did away with my jet lag with an all-day snooze. Head to the hills to watch the sun dip over Silhoutte island in the distance at the end of each day.
Where to stay in Beau Vallon:
My girlfriend and I arrived at Mahe airport in the morning, where Paulo was on hand to pick us up. He's attentive, flexible, amicable and goes the extra mile to ensure his guests are informed and have what they need at all times.
The property itself is modern, clean and even a tad edgy, with a small swimming pool at the bottom of the garden. A lot of attention has been paid to the details – USB and European power sockets being but a couple of observations of note.
Paulo's wife and kids live on the ground floor and are very friendly ,making it an unparralled homestay with all the modcons you'd usually have to fork out a small fortune for at large hotels and resorts.
Do yourself a favour and sample the breakfast platter – fruits, bread, fresh crossaints, tea / coffee, yoghurt and lots more. There's also tea / coffee on the balcony from 5 pm on, where you can watch the sun drop serenely over the ocean horizon.
Villa Roscia is located a stone's throw away from the less touristy end of the endearing Beau Vallon beach. Jetty transfers (ferry to Praslin) also available at a fair fee. Highly recommended.
There are hikes galore on many of the islands in The Seychelles and The Anse Major Nature Trail is one of Mahe Island's most endearing.
Catch the bus from Beau Vallon police station to the small settlement of Danzilles and walk up to the end of the road from there. Watch out for Batman Studios on your left as you enter the trail (a tourist trap that lures bypassers in for a sight at their caged bats). The trail is easy to walk and is graced with lush vegetation on all sides as well as jaw-dropping vistas of Silhoutte island in the distance.
The tranquil Anse Major beach awaits you at the end of the trail. Grab a water taxi back to Beau Vallon for the full Anse Major Nature Trail experience.
Read more about the Anse Major Nature Trail here.
Praslin Island is the second-largest of the islands of The Seychelles. Life here is more quiet and sedate than it is in Mahe and its smaller size means that everything is much closer and easier to get to.
Anse Lazio is probably the most beautiful beach i've ever set foot on. This spectacular gem of a beach is best reached by car (or taxi) and is located on the north of Praslin. Crystalline waters, smooth (rounded) boulders and silky white sands give it a distinct look and feel.
Beneath these placid waters you will find all manner of colourful fish and marine life- tame as they are in these parts. The left and right-hand sides Anse Lazio are best for snorkeling but watch out for sharks in the deeper waters.
I came within 12 feet of a Grey reef shark and though the odds of a shark attack are very low, being rounded by a 2-3 metre giant of the sea was a hair-raising if not unforgetable experience. Stay out of the water if you have even the slightest of cuts and treat the marine life with respect.
Where to eat on Praslin:
Pirogue Restaurant & Bar, Cote D'or
As the most centrally located restaurant in the small town, Pirogue pulls a crowd and serves up some decent dishes. It's a great place – lunch offers are pretty decent, for dinner – prepare to wait for a table (or book in advance)
Where to stay on Praslin:
Villa Beddier has all the amenties and mod cons you'll need for a stay in C'ot D'or, Praslin. Book via their own webpage for the best prices but expect to pay in cash at the end of your stay. Look out for the complementary jetty drop-off at the end of your stay.
The rooms are well furnished and very spacious – spanning a long balcony, Master bedroom, toilet, kitchen and living room.
Located by the beach and in the heart of the little village, guests are endowed with several supermarkets, restaurants, ATMs and souvenir shops in close range.
If you're looking for the garden of Eden – this is it. A giant palm forest that takes you back to the days when Africa was known as the massive continent of Gondwana, the place feels like a cross between Jurassic Park (minus the dinasaurs) and The Amazon.
The giant Coco De Mer palms are endemic to The Seychelles and bear a striking resemblance to both male and female genitalia.
Cote D'or Beach is an uderstated stretch of beach along the shore of the adjacent town, which is home to several cafes, restaurants and accomodation options.

Hawai – land of Earth, air, water and fire. Of all the places I have visited, it stands out as one of the most spectacular. In many ways, I find it hard to believe that Hawaii is part of The United States – it seems so genuine and humble by comparison to the mainland. Here's a video of one of my best trips yet, and a bunch of photos to boot.
Witty, bizarre and obfuscating at the best of times, Cuba is quite possibly the most unique country I have visited. Here is a showcase of some of my photos from Cuba, along with a short video reel.
LA is a monster. No seriously – Hollywood's home is massive – even from the air, where its concrete streets and square forms assume an outlandish, almost dystopian form.
On street level, you'll find many potential X Factor fails who've never quite made it into Hollywood's hallmarks but get by busking at tourist traps such a The Santa Monica Pier at the end of Route 66.
You'll also find a smattering of celebs here and there, cruising its boulevards in their fancy wheels, oblivious to the reality of life in The Sin City of the West Coast. And then there's Inglewood…
LA is not for me I must contend (less so after being detained by the immigration authorities who asked me all sorts of irrelevant questions despite my pre-approved ESTA application and valid travel documents).
Every cloud has a silver lining though – thanks to my good pal Paul, who showed us the best of LA in his purring Mustang, I must also admit that I had a great time cruising through the throbbing metropolis.
Here's how it all went down on our visit to Los Angeles:
Pictures from the performance of Turbulence, momondo's staff band, who filled Store Vega with aplomb. Highlights of the evening included an unexpected if not epic performance of 'Careless Whisper.' Cue that epic sax intro!
It is with great pleasure that I introduce the website of one of my best-mates, Mischa Nielsen.
Mischa and I met 7 odd years ago at Roskilde University, at the start of our bachelor studies. From the off, it was clear that we had many common interests, such as partying constantly and playing music. Over the years, we travelled to 7 different countries together, along with our good friend, Edoardo Bottalico, growing from enterprising pups to young men in the process.
As bilingual kids in Danish society, Mischa and I share some of the same views about growing up in international environments and we both have an equally eclectic taste in music. His travails and love of food and wine have led him down the somelier route and i've wound up in content marketing but our passion for writing still unites us.
After toying with the prospect for a while, Mischa ha finally got his website up and running. Sacred-awe.com is a site that combines his favourite pastimes; writing, music and wine, inspired by Zorba The Greek no less. Check it out after the jump!
In April 2017, I visited Cuba, a nation frozen in time, which (before that idiot Trump ascended the throne) was marketed as " a place you have to see before it all changes."
Cuba may be changing but I have no doubt that its soul will always remain true to its roots, for better or for worse.
And while Cuba is a photographer's dream, make no mistake about it – this is a country in which travelling can be a veritable challenge, due to, amongst other things, two separate currencies for tourists and locals.
Here is what this beautiful nation had to offer us:

.... It's reported that Twitter's now up to 175 million users, which is itself 30 million users greater than the numbers that Williams was reporting in September—145 million. If you do the math, that's a growth rate of roughly 15 million users per month, or about half a million users per day. Back in April of this month, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said that Twitter only had a 300,000-per-day user growth rate. As well, Stone was reporting back then that Twitter had around 105 million users. We won't crunch the numbers again, but it's clear to see that Twitter's been undergoing some phenomenal growth rates lately. That's especially if you compare today's numbers to the kinds of figures that the company was touting last year—58 million users in 2009—or the meager 503,000 users that Twitter enjoyed three years ago.
So what does this mean, long-term? If its current growth rate continues, Twitter's sure to hit 200 million users before the year's end.
There's been no update as to how Twitter's users access the service or where they come from, however. In April, Stone was running with the figure that 75 percent of all Twitter's traffic comes from outside the site—external, third-party applications that tap into Twitter's service in various fashions. New updates like a redesign of Twitter.com and the addition of new interactive features alongside popular, real-world events likely account for a bit of Twitter's overall growth, but there's been no indication of just how much Twitter's lifeblood of third-party apps have contributed to the surge.

Deceased September 13, 2010

In Memory
A story in courage and perseverance. Dick Watson '53 died Sept. 13, 2010, in Brookhaven, N.Y., after decades of physical ailments that barely daunted his brilliant career, his active community involvement and his dedication to a wife of 53 years and family with strong connections to Amherst.
In the Summer of 1953, Dick contracted polio while an intern at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. He was on crutches from that time forward—until he shifted to a wheelchair in 2001with Parkinson's disease and post-polio syndrome. Over close to a half-century, Dick earned a Ph.D. in physics at MIT, did postdoctoral work abroad, spent several years at Bell Labs and worked 37 years in the department of physics at Brookhaven National Lab, specializing in the theory of metals and alloys and retiring as a senior research physicist in 2002. In 1985, he was honored with the national Hume-Rothery Award for exceptional contributions to the science of alloys.
Throughout his career, Dick served on a number of Brookhaven town committees and with the Brookhaven Village Association. He was active with the Boy Scout Troop, a scoutmaster who marched regularly in the annual parade on crutches. He was also an active gardener, sailor and lover of classical music.
Married 53 years, he and his wife, Joan, had four sons, two of whom went to Amherst—Gavin '83 and Jamie '87. Also graduating from Amherst: daughters-in-law Barbara Winter Watson '82 and Jodi Stevens Watson '95. In the Fall 2010 issue of Amherst, Barbara Winter Watson tells of Dick's struggles with Parkinson's disease and post-polio syndrome and how she and her family run—not walk—on his behalf to support the Johns Hopkins Parkinson's Disesase and Movement Disorder Center.
A memorial service was held Nov. 26 at St. James Parish in Brookhaven. Dave Winslow '53 attended, a longtime friend and Brookhaven resident.

The pandas – a seven-year-old breeding pair, Tian Tian and Yangguang - will be the first in Britain for 17 years and will live at Edinburgh Zoo.
The gift was announced as Li Keqiang, China's vice premier, visited London to hold talks with Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister.
At Lancaster House the two men witnessed the signing of an agreement between the Chinese government and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.
A specially refurbished enclosure – formerly the home for the zoo's gorillas - will be prepared for the pandas. A date for the arrival will be set in the coming the days.
Liu Xiaoming, China'a ambassador to the UK, said: "Pandas are a Chinese national treasure. This historical agreement is a gift to the people of the UK from China.
"It will represent an important symbol of our friendship and will bring our two people closer together."
Malcolm Roughead, the chief executive of VisitScotland, said: "Giant pandas are among the most beautiful mammals in the world, with their rarity only adding to their allure. Indeed, zoos which are home to pandas have experienced significant increases in visitor numbers.
"Edinburgh Zoo is already the second most popular paid-for attraction in Scotland and I have no doubt that, when Tian Tian and Yangguang are added to its world-class collection of animals, even more people will flock to Scotland's capital for a chance to see these magnificent creatures at close quarters."
The visit of Mr Li came two months after David Cameron took a trade mission to Beijing to promote business links between the UK and China and the two men met yesterday in Downing Street. Mr Li is widely tipped to become Chinese premier.
However, the deals announced yesterday only amount to £2.6 billion in value.
In November, before Mr Cameron went to China and came away with £1 billion of business, Nicolas Sarkozy, France's president, secured almost $20bn of trade for French companies.
Among the other deals announced yesterday was one between Scotland's biggest mainland oil refinery and a Chinese oil company which it is claimed will secure the long-term future of jobs and skills at the plant.
Ineos, a privately owned chemical firm, has drawn up plans for a trading partnership with PetroChina, which will see investment into its refining operations at Grangemouth, as well as a plant in Lavera, France. Ineos also signed an agreement with China National Petroleum Corporation to share oil-refining technology.
The deal between Ineos and PetroChina could lead to joint ventures in trading and refining between the two firms, but the specific details are yet to be drawn up.
Meanwhile, BP and the China National Offshore Oil Corp signed an agreement on deep-water exploration in the South China Sea, while Jaguar Land Rover committed to sell 40,000 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, valued at more than £1 billion, in China in 2011.
Mr Li arrived in England from Edinburgh where his visit coincided with a £6.4 million agreement to introduce renewable energy technology pioneered in Scotland into China.

Medical Travel – Getting Quality Orthopedic Care
Medical Travel – Getting Quality Orthopedic Care – Three Steps
Wіth healthcare costs skyrocketing, mоrе аnd mоrе Americans – bоth insured аnd uninsured – аrе looking fоr quality care outside оf thе U.S. State-of-the-art hospitals abroad offer thе latest cutting-edge procedures performed іn thе U.S. including orthopedic procedures ѕuсh аѕ knee оr hip replacement surgery. International hospitals аlѕо offer U.S. patients thе benefit оf providing procedures nоt уеt available іn thе U.S., ѕuсh аѕ аnd lumbar dynamic stabilization procedure fоr thе spine, a non-invasive alternative tо thе common, mоrе drastic аnd lеѕѕ effective spinal fusion.
Bеfоrе trusting one's health tо hospitals оr hip replacement surgeons abroad оr locally, it's a wіѕе idea tо research аll options аnd ensure thе care provided meets thе highest standards оf medical treatment available.
Following thrее steps wіll help ensure thаt medical travelers receive thе best care whеn shopping fоr quality orthopedic care away frоm home.
Step Onе: Ask fоr a Quote
Evеn whеn placing priority оn quality medical care abroad, іt іѕ ѕtіll important tо plan bоth treatment аnd travel wіthіn a budget. Experienced professionals саn provide a quote thаt іѕ customized tо thе medical traveler's unique needs.
Thеrе аrе a number оf reputable medical travel agencies fоr medical travelers tо choose frоm, hоwеvеr, mоrе аnd mоrе international hospitals аrе beginning tо offer medical travel coordination services ѕо thаt thе patient аnd insurance company саn address аll issues аnd questions related tо thе procedure wіth 'one stop shopping'. Hospitals providing medical travel services wіll package thе surgeon's fees, anesthesia аnd оthеr hospital fees, hospital stay, lab tests іntо quote, adding hotel аnd airline separately ѕо thе patient enjoys full transparency оf thе breakdown оf thе costs. Aftеr narrowing thе selection оf hospitals, thе nеxt step іѕ tо provide one's medical history аnd records fоr thе mоѕt accurate quote. Sоmе hip replacement surgeons mау require a consultation, depending оn thе complexity оf thе individual's needs, but ѕhоuld arrange thеѕе consultations fоr free.
Thіѕ fіrѕt step wіll provide a clear expectation оf whаt thе surgery аnd hospital care wіll cost, wіth nо unpleasant surprises. That's whу it's smart tо hаvе a full team оf trustworthy professionals looking оut fоr thе medical traveler's best interests, аnd delivering peace оf mind.
Step Twо: Medical Travel Coordination
Thе fіrѕt step іn planning fоr medical travel іѕ deciding оn оnе оf thе hip replacement surgeons аnd having a phone consultation wіth thе surgeon. A full discussion оf уоur case ѕhоuld occur, including information аbоut thе prostethetics, thе length оf thе procedure, pre-surgery instructions аnd full detailing оf whаt tо expect durіng thе recovery period. Aftеr thе surgeon hаѕ reviewed one's medical records аnd approved thе medical traveler fоr surgery, thе nеxt step іѕ tо meet wіth a travel coordinator whо wіll simplify thе tedious tasks оf arranging travel, lodging, аnd аnу оthеr additional costs оr accommodations needed durіng travel.
Thе travel coordinator ѕhоuld provide аn itinerary thаt includes a detailed schedule, travel information, important contact numbers, аnd оthеr pertinent details. All transportation ѕhоuld bе arranged uроn arrival, ѕо treatment саn begin аѕ soon аѕ possible. Reputable companies arrange thе travel itineraries fоr аll travelling companions, аѕ wеll.
Step Thrее: Surgery аnd Quality Aftеr Care
In ѕоmе cases, hip replacement surgeons mау require a follow-up consultation bеfоrе thе medical traveler іѕ released tо travel home. If that's thе case, thе medical travel company ѕhоuld hаvе access tо lоw prices оn hotel rooms close tо thе hospital whеrе thе traveler саn stay іn thе interim.
Following hip replacement surgery, a surgeon wіll recommend using compression stockings tо prevent blood clots. Thіѕ requires special attention whеn thе individual іѕ returning home. Special arrangements mау need tо bе mаdе fоr thе travel post surgery, аnоthеr overwhelming task mаdе easier whеn working wіth a dedicated аnd professional medical travel hospital оr agency.
Thе difference іѕ quite simple: whеn trusting one's health tо a hip replacement surgeon, thеrе іѕ a lot оf stress аnd emotion involved. It іѕ оftеn difficult аnd tо choose a quality hip replacement surgeon іn a foreign country whіlе аlѕо trying tо plan thе travel details.
Hоwеvеr, a good company wіll prioritize thе unique needs оf a medical traveler bеfоrе, durіng, аnd аftеr surgery. Professionals work оn thе individual's behalf, taking іntо consideration specific medical needs, tо fіnd thе best hip replacement surgeon, arrange consultations аnd medical procedures, аѕ wеll аѕ providing quotes оf cost fоr medical travel аnd еvеn making arrangements fоr a lеѕѕ stressful experience.

Have a great day and I'll see you in one of next posts.

Spring Sketch
With spring on my mind I thought I might as well sketch something I'd like to wear. I don't wear dresses often, but if I did I'd want this one. The Betsy dress from Heidi Merrick's Summer 2009 collection.

Taking the advice of cartoonist R. Crumb – "Draw from life as much as possible. That's where you'll really learn things. And learn to express your real, personal feelings. Don't worry about creating masterpieces or only drawing pretty things. Look for the commonplace, unnoticed details of everyday reality. To draw from life is to learn about life. But, you know, you need to be compelled by some inner need to fill in the blank page. It's gotta come from inside." An Illustrated Life by Danny Gregory

The bones of these spaces are the key to making them what they are. Great walls, ceilings and floors are a must. Furniture and textiles dress up these spaces perfectly. Shapes and colors are done well with lots of personality but not losing well thought out design.
Mr. Dylan
After I sketched this drawing of my youngest I had to laugh, he looks like a mini Bob Dylan and years older than his 4.5 yrs. He has my crazy curls, but as a blonde.
Pen & Ink
The Dream House
I find it beneficial to take a break from these but the moment I'm back in production mode I feel like I'm producing works that I'm enjoying even more than the last. This set of designs seems to be rolling out quite nicely. I'll hit my 100th collage/art-o-mat piece when this set is done. Hard to believe I've produced one hundred of anything.
Air Travel
My one and only sketch during our week long spring break trip. I whipped out my sketchbook to sketch the gal across the aisle as our plane descended into San Diego. My kids were sitting next to me chattering away, needless to say this felt a bit rushed. I'll have to go back and sketch a few images from our photos.

I used the Tim Holtz Illuminary Bigz XL die by Sizzix to cut the lantern, and stained it with crushed olive distress stain. Then glued Easter Parade embossing powder from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies on it with collage matte medium. As I used acetate for the windows, I didn't want to heat emboss the powder.
I stamped the bunny, a stamp from Tim Holtz, with antique linen distress ink, on water color card stock and coloured it with various colours of distress markers and a water brush. After it dried I covered it with distress collage crazing medium to get the crazing effect. After that dried, I covered it with walnut stain distress crayon and a little water. That accentuates the crazing more.
The little chicks I found at our local supermarket lol. They were meant as table decoration, but they are perfect for my lantern.
The nest I stamped is also a Tim Holtz stamp, not a surprise as 90% of my stamp collection is his! I stamped it twice and cut the whole nest out and the other cut out is just the front, so I could give it a 3D look with mounting foam.
Take care and keep your craft on!

I don't ask for user feedback much. This appears to be an instance where I could use it. If the majority of folks aren't feeling this new look, I can always revert back to the other style.
Along the top are the previous pages [contact, resources, all that good stuff] and to the right-side I added a new widget that displays the most popular posts in the last 7 days. Aside from those two things, everything else appears to be the same.
So this isn't a complete waste of a post, I can give an update on the training goals I set in late August. November 7th was a perfect week to test my 1-rep maxes but due to being sick last week, I'll be pushing everything back 4-5 days later to finish my current cycle and deload sufficiently.
1) Front Squat: This is #1 priority compared to the other two. I originally planned 200, but I think I'll be able to do more.That's all from me today.
I did front box squats previous month and now I'm debating on whether to do cluster training, wave loading, or one & one-quarter reps. Isn't so much as to which will prove effective, but rather the question is "do I want to use this now to achieve the goal sooner or wait until I stall when I really need it?"
2) Dragon Flag: I bumped this up over the deadlift because I feel like I should be able to do it by the time I'm ready to test. Currently using various RKC planks, front squat holds, and dead bugs.
3) Deadlift: 2 years ago I was deadlifting amazingly. Ton of weight and form was spot on. I then switched to Romanian deadlifts for around 6 months and when I went back to conventional pulling, I was all types of off on my set-up.
Right now I'm not sure if I want to keep this as one of the goals. It wouldn't hurt to try, but I also have tons of ideas to use in my programming for upcoming months. I won't fully know until 2-3 weeks later.
Anyone else have some goals to hit? How are they going?

Subscribe To Super Bowl: Jennifer Hudson Will Sing America The Beautiful With The Sandy Hook Choir Updates
I've already subscribed
The National Football League may have had its share of bad publicity this year between the replacement referees and all the head injury concerns, but that doesn't mean the executives aren't also capable of great generosity. They announced this morning that they're paying for twenty-six members of the Sandy Hook elementary school choir and their families to fly to New Orleans in order to perform a very special version of "America The Beautiful" alongside Jennifer Hudson.
According to USA Today, the performance will be broadcast live just a few minutes before Alicia Keys belts out the National Anthem. That means, while the gig will technically happen during the official Preshow, an extremely high percentage of the people watching the game will be tuned in by that point.
2012 might have been filled with unspeakable tragedy for the children who will perform, but this trip to New Orleans should serve as a wonderful reminder for both the kids and the larger community that life also contains plenty of incredible high moments. Whether they walk out onto the field and every single one hits every note or whether it's an imperfect and pitchy nerve-fest, this moment should be something they all fondly take with them for decades and decades to come.
Pop Blend wishes the youngsters nothing but the best and sends out a serious hat tip to Hudson who, as always, is willing to help out in any way she can.

"Maybe you are right", I said. "But I believe that Revolution, is not something made, it resides in the individual spirit or it is nowhere. It begins not in the storming of the Winter Palace, but rather in the moment we accept that things don't have to be the way they are."
"And what way should they be then", said sifu, donning a beret and adopting a Che Guevara posture?
"Who knows what form it will take," I replied, "I'm not concerned with the final expression, but in the dismantling of those ways that no longer work."
"Ah ha" he said.
"Ah ha", I replied. And so we began….
Hot Hot Hot
It's hot in the kitchen. In fact it's hot full stop. We've been experiencing the highest temperatures on record this summer, so to cope with these conditions - on goes the air conditioning, on goes the fans, turn up the fridge, store more frozen produce in the freezer... And yes, this means more hot air being blown out into the street, into our public media, into our minds and yes more fossil fuels being burnt to provide the extra power for us to cope with the rise in temperature, provoked by our increasing reliance on fossil fuels....
Its an old story now, a little tired, a little worn at the edges. We collectively mutter concern, pledge to watch another documentary on melting polar regions, pledge a paypal micro payment to some green cause, but change little, if anything, of our habits that give rise to Sifu Simon's Stance, that we are doing as much as we can.
But this podcast (see below) and article is not about global warming, it's about change and our relationship to the threat of change. For all change has the inherent capacity to be disruptive: to be interpreted as a welcome respite from an old and possibly weather-worn model or a challenge to the familiarity and security of our behaviour.
Thought and Action
How we see change, I believe, has something to do with the chasm that exists in our culture between mind and body, between theory and practice, between thought and action.
Before we get to tai chi, lets look at a few familiar examples: we know smoking kills, we know passive smoking kills and yet still people are permitted to smoke, and in public places. We have known since the 70's that refined sugar causes umpteen diseases, premature deaths, destroys teeth across the globe and has created sweetened addicts wherever fizzy drinks have been put on sale. Ahhhh... the glorious benefits of unhindered trade…..
We know we are killing ourselves and the planet, so why is it so difficult to change?
Why it is so difficult
Why does information, facts and data alone not convince us to change? Maybe, it's because we have broken the link between knowledge and action. For despite the warnings on food labels, cigarette packets, and the messages about environmental armageddon, we still do not act.
They say if voting changed anything, it would be banned. That could be said of data too. If knowledge by itself empowered, books, films and the internet would be banned. I would be banned. Sifu Simon would rule the world and we would all be happy bunnies in a world of consumerist goodies.
To change this passivity, knowledge and ideas must be rooted in some form of practice, otherwise they remain as just probabilities - projected on to the back of Platos cave - discussed, debated and argued over endlessly on FaceBook forums, but rarely lived with a quiet and gentle force.
To a make an idea live, to allow it to breathe, we must exercise it, but how do you exercise an idea? Can you take it to the gym, can you take it out on a lead for a walk? Can you swim with it? Facts, like grains of sand blowing in the wind of our minds, seemingly scatter when we attempt to act upon them, and before you know it, the next thought has entered our head and dislodged the first.
Outwardly conform, Inwardly sabotage
When we let go of the fear of losing, we win, whatever the outcome
When people ask me: "Hey TeapotmOnk - how effective is your tai chi", it is often a rather sneaky way to relegate the discussion to that of martial technique. Yet, for most of us, daily combat does not take the form of an attack by multiple ninjas, but rather the ideological assault that encourages us to not challenge, to not explore the unknown path, to not question or query, but to accept that this is the best it can be. For we have the best voting system in the world, the best representative democracy that shines like a beacon for others to follow, and the best we can do in the light of global annihilation, is "to do our bit" - to turn down the air conditioning a little, to share your internet connection, to drink low fat milk, to plant some basil and pat yourself on the back that you're doing all you can.
Tai chi shows us another way. What that way is depends on you and your path. It's not the same as mine, or my dogs. The revolution will ultimately be your personal expression, for Tai Chi gives us the tools to challenge ourselves, our habits, and our conduct with others. It gives us the tools to reshape our world, recognising that in soft-ness and adaptation, in yielding and letting go we find a better world: More just, more honest, more egalitarian. And, like any revolutionary practice it requires neither uniform, no certificate, exams, nor incense. And much to the frustration of Sifu Simon - requires no gurus either.
So don't just listen to this, don't just read it. Act on it. Share it. Dismantle it. Throw it away if you like because Data alone can't do it. It never could. It needs to link to tools that we can embrace, that are simple, powerful and empowering and can be applied to any situation, any circumstance. Tools that we get to try out with one another, to test out in the hope that by losing, we will learn to win. Tools that don't wear out like an old pair of shoes, or an out-of-date manifesto. That is the revolutionary impact tai chi has for urban warriors in the 21st century: For whatever the outcome, we learn to fuse idea and action, we learn to grow every time we lose, we learn that winning, so often, takes the form of losing.

Almost a full quota to choose from
Only last season's leading marksman Mathias Pogba is out of tomorrow's home match with Tranmere Rovers. Pogba is weeks off a return to training after having knee surgery, due to the injury he sustained against Manchester United in pre-season. Pogba hit 16 goals last season.
Steve Davis welcomes back Byron Moore from a thigh injury and Lee Molyneux from suspension which certainly provides him with more attacking options. With almost everyone fit, the Crewe boss admits that it will be difficult to select his starting XI and substitutes' bench for this weekend.
The Crewe boss told the club's official web-site: "Everyone is fit and okay now apart from Mathias, so that is good. Byron is back from his thigh injury and Lee has served his suspension so that gives us more option in wide areas.
"We have a strong squad and have players pushing for inclusion. It certainly makes the squad selection more difficult but that is what you want as a manager. We have a group of players who are all capable of playing in the team and that is the first time I've had that since I took over.
"It has been a good week and a hard week. The response from the defeat at the MK Dons has been really good. They have trained well and a lot of them have been doing extra work as well. That is nice to see and the players are determined to change the results we have been having."
