Slick, practical and stunningly effective, our new SPIDERTEC system seamlessly merges years of rod and reel development into a piece of groundbreaking ...Read blog post + Read blog post +
October 10 2017
For the past few months I have had the pleasure of fishing with our new SDS shooting head system. Here in Ireland we have mostly small to medium sized rivers and these heads which come in D/H lengths from 33-36.3feet or 10-11m and the Switch is 29.7feet or 9m, ideal!
Firstly whats in the box??
All of the SDS kits come complete with the head and three tips included, the Scandi kit (double handed) you get the, float, sink 3, and sink 5, and with the Switch kit the standard tips are float, intermediate, sink 3.
You can also buy the rest of the range of tips individually. There is also a handy mesh wallet for the tips.
When trying out a new line system there are basically two main points of view to take on the line. How does it get out to the fish and what does it do when it gets there.
1 – Casting. These lines are designed to make casting as easy and effortless as possible. They have a rear biased taper, which means most of the line weight is at the rear of the head (i.e. closest to the rod tip). What this means is that it is much easier to load the rod. Also when performing a cast if the anchor is less than perfect there is still enough weight under the rod tip to load the rod sufficiently and complete the forward stroke. This also helps if you are casting in a tight or awkward spot where you are just pulling the head into the position and don't have the room to lift the rod to the key position properly.
2 – I had two of the SDS heads, one was the #8 which I matched up with the Cross SX 13'2" #8. This was then joined to the .0032" Loop Runner running line and spooled up on to the Opti Speedrunner. In my opinion this is a perfectly balanced outfit. I found that this running line gave just the right amount of resistance to both shoot line and maintain good turnover on the head. The other head was the switch in a #6. I matched this head up with the 11'00" #6 Evotec Cast medium fast Switch rod. This in turn was matched up with Loop Shooter and spooled up onto the Opti Rapid. The reason I prefer the mono running line with this is because its a switch outfit the head is much lighter and benefited from the less resistance given from the mono. Its just a lighter running line for a lighter outfit that gives the caster the best results. A heavier running line would give too much resistance causing the head to turn over very quickly reducing casting distance.
3 – All of the SDS heads come with interchangeable tip sections. On the 6-8 weight heads the tip sections are 12feet or 3.6m and on the 9-11 weight heads the tip sections are 15feet or 4.5m. On the Switch kit the tip sections are 10feet or 3m. These tip sections are attached by a simple loop to loop connection and are laser marked which I found very easy to follow. Because of the profile of the head the connections do not affect the casting or turnover of the head. There is no hinging at all. In fact I found with the denser tip sections the loops tightened up a little. When casting different length heads with the same rod you must change your casting stroke to suit, this new system eliminates that. You can change your line densities while keeping the same head length thus keeping the casting stroke the same.
4 – These heads are not stroke specific, meaning they do not have to be cast a certain way. From casting them myself and watching clients of mine casting with them they have been cast in almost every way possible and have performed flawlessly. Also the profile of the heads are aggressive enough to be able to turn over Micro tips or poly leaders if you will, without any problem. Saying that I wouldn't use anything longer than the 5foot/1.5m micro tips on the switch kit, where as the #8 is capable of turning over 10′ polys. Leaders also play a big part in the casting of shooting heads but I think thats an article for another day! Just remember keep them tapered.
5 – Fishing. It might sound a bit silly but how the line tracks when on the swing really contributes to its effectiveness. For me line colour is a big thing and the subtle ivory colour of the floating section will blend in perfectly with the sky, remember salmon are looking up !!! What I really loved about the SDS heads is that its a real point and shoot head. What I mean is you can cast it at the angle you want to and the line gets a grip in the water and comes across evenly without being overly affected by any turbulence in the water. What this in turn means is that there is no slack line in the water so you are in direct contact with the fly all the way to the dangle. It might sound a bit O.T.T but trust me in tough conditions you need to feel every bump and pluck as it may provide you with the information you need to get a fish to take properly. This line will give you that.
6 – The fact that you can change the tip section of the head makes this line incredibly versatile. You have the capability to search out different depths at different speeds all with the one line!
7 – The fact that you can do this with the Switch kit as well is a huge plus. You can still search different depths on smaller rivers or on medium rivers in low water without loosing the delicate touch of the switch. This coupled with the 5foot/1.5mMicro tips you are able to make a triple density head to your own specific needs. In a nutshell this SDS system from Loop is extremely versatile, practical, effective, and easy to use. I have caught salmon in a range of different conditions with this line and personally it will continue to be my go to line for salmon fishing.
8 – Tight lines!

A lesson in Entrepreneurship in Seville
No two men could be better qualified to teach entrepreneurship than Ken Morse and Bill Aulet. They came to Sevilla from the E-Centre at MIT, to deliver a seminar on "Entrepreneurial Sales and Product Marketing" and they over-delivered.
My expectations were exceeded by far, we were given a rich insight into the growth of high-tech start-up companies. Through case studies of real companies they've helped to build, and actual sales forecasts, Bill and
Ken enthralled us with stories from the front-line of entrepreneurship and they lessons they have learned in the process.
On the first day of the two day seminar, between lectures, we were given the chance to practice our "elevator pitches" a 55 second introduction to our prospective client with the objective of getting a follow up meeting. The exercise was in the format of a competition were a group of Seville's business leaders was invited to play the role of our "dream customers" and judge our performance.
My "dream client" was Amancio Ortega the reclusive owner of the Zara clothing chain. I didn't win any awards but it was an enlightening exercise for me.
On the second day after a shorter round of fascinating lectures, each attendee gave a 5 minute presentation that they had prepared beforehand, to the critique of his/her peers. The firms represented were 35 of the regions most innovative companies, in sectors from biotech to manufacturing. It was hugely exciting for me, a solo-preneur, to listen and take part in the discussion over coffee and lunch each day.
After giving my presentation (which was easily the worst) Bill Aulet was kind enough to call me a geek! "Don't be offended" he said "that's the highest form of life at MIT". I came away with confirmation of what I suspected to be true before the event; that for my venture to be truly successful I'm going to need a business partner who can complement my skill set and fill the role of super-sales-person.
In the short term, the most valuable asset we took away from the seminar (apart from focusing on a vertical market) was the "Facebook" of all the other attendees' application forms and contact details. In the days following the event I contacted María Goretti of ioFusiontv to help me set up a mailing list of all the attendees. This discussion list (where each member can send an e-mail to everyone on the list) has enjoyed a slew of enthusiastic messages as people expressed their appreciation for the the event, commitment to attend the follow up in October and a desire to keep in touch.
The venue for the event, the Sala Leonardo Da Vinci in Pabellon de Italia (Isla de la Cartuja), was comfortable and very well equipped for vision and sound. What was lacking in the standard of service initially was quickly corrected by the enthusiastic staff.
If you're a CEO or manager of a business in Andalucia, or just starting a new technology venture, and would like to attend the next seminar to be held (October 14-15) in Málaga, then send me an e-mail or ask about it at your local CADE office.

Rep. Mitchell should attend a real town hall
To the editor:
It was 7 p.m. March 1, I was naked getting out of the shower after a long day. My phone is ringing, "Oklahoma Number" it reads. "Great, another automated calling scam," I think, but answer anyways.
"Welcome to the Rep. Paul Mitchell Town Hall Conference Call." A cheery voice proclaims, "Please press 0 if you'd like to ask a question." Quickly, I hit 000 as I run half dressed blurting out "Mitchell town hall! Conference call!" out into the house.
This is not how I expected my first town hall meeting to go after over a month of calling the representative's office multiple times a week asking legislative questions and to be notified of when Rep. Mitchell would be speaking in public. (Kudos to staffer Sarah for taking all those calls so politely!)
As I scramble to collect myself, my girlfriend, Kathryn, has wrangled her list of questions that she recently presented to Mitchell's Shelby office staff. These questions we've been asking repeatedly while only receiving generic non-answer responses like, "Your concern has been noted."
Mitchell's voice comes over the line, "Hi all, I'm ready to take your questions." And our questions are prescreened; Kathryn asks about legislation on the EPA, health care, and squeezes in a question about a public town hall. We hear a few others' questions, mostly regarding health care, environment, or student loans.
"OK, next we have Kathryn from Mayville with a question about the EPA," the moderator chimes in. "Hi Kathryn, How is lovely Mayville?" Mitchell asks. Kathryn shares that she recently went to the Shelby office with other constituents, then asks what we have been asking all along: will the representative be accountable to the 10th District and have the courage to face them publicly? She follows, "and I have a question about the EPA …" "You've been placed in 'listening mode,'" the phone voice tells us, she had been cut off.
Unlike this surprise conference call, Mitchell's response was unsurprising: He has been having private meetings, and will not hold a public town hall because "it would be a media circus." The message behind his response: He is avoiding the public constituents and opting for limited private meetings, or in this case, in an unpublicized surprise conference call.
Is this appropriate behavior for a public servant, to choose who to hear and who to serve? As a substitute teacher, I know students can get a bit rambunctious. However, I don't avoid them and choose which students I will hear! It is my responsibility to hear the needs of all the students and support their education accordingly.
Mitchell is choosing not to be available to hear everyone. Rather than showing integrity and accountability by facing questions publicly, he is hiding behind an unscheduled selective invitation 40-minute conference call and taking only eight questions with no opportunity to join to listen.
Rep. Mitchell, can you attend a public event to hear us and answer our questions? We need representatives that are willing to face and hear the people that they were elected to serve, all of the people.

Remember what I said a while back about "Playground Logic"? Today, Iran told Uncle Sam to "bring it on, baby!" They're upset that we had the unmitigated gall and audacity to question their sincerity regarding their nuclear program. You see, Iran has more natural gas and crude oil than the world needs. They have no need of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. However, they could certainly make use of a spare nuclear weapon or two, as their leaders believe that Israel doesn't deserve to exist, and they should be the ones to bring about its destruction.
The problem here goes right back to the schoolyard. Iran is attempting to call the rest of the world's bluff. They've tried threatening to cut off the world's access to their oil. That didn't work. Now they are threatening bodily harm to the U.S. and our interests. With George Bush as our Commander in Chief, that's not gonna work either. (Can you but imagine what we'd be doing if either Gore or Kerry had won?)
The world can't afford to allow the nutcases that run Iran to have the Bomb. It is a measure of how serious this subject is that we see nations like France (gotta hand it to those cheese-lovin' surrender monkeys) are siding with us, and stating without equivocation that we cannot allow their nuclear program to go forward.
Wow. So virtually the entire, civilized world (except Russia and China, who have a vested interest in keeping Iran happy at all costs) are on the side of the angels (us, again) and against Iran.
This is also a clue as to how these countries REALLY feel about our involvement in Iraq. They may publicly berate us; call us 'war-mongers' and 'imperialists,' but its all window dressing. Privately, they are thrilled that Uncle Sam "took one for the team" on Iraq. If they weren't, they wouldn't be so keen to force Iran into a corner.
What's going to happen? I dunno. If the Iranian mullahs and President were sane, it would be an easy call. They'd pull a Fidel – bluster and then back down. Unfortunately, they have the same kind of tenuous grip on reality that Kim Jung Il has over in N. Korea, which is to say "none at all." These crackers truly believe that they are destined to bring about the apocalypse. (Of course in their version, it's not Jesus that returns, punishes the bad guys – [that would be THEM, if you've not been keeping score] and establishes Heaven here on Earth. Nope, they see a world-wide, Islamic state.
Let's pause for a second, and think about how everyone is choosing sides. On the side of the angels (us, remember?) we have the U.K., Germany, France, and most of the rest of the free world. On the side of the insane mullahs we have Russia, China (for mostly selfish, oil-related reasons) and most of the liberals, democrats, and secular-humanists in this country.
Here's a heapin' plate of Irony for you…people like Pat Schroeder, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and Barbara Boxer are generally against the USA doing anything that might hurt Iran's feelings. The irony? Iran's publicly stated position on women holds that they are chattel, sub-human, and better not seen (hidden by a burka) than heard. In an Islamist state, women have virtually no rights, and can be thrown out into the street for displeasing their husbands at any time. In fact, a husband has the right to kill his wife with virtually no repercussions. But Pat, Nancy, Hillary and Barbara would rather support Iran's right to blow us all up to Kingdom Come than stoop to supporting the Bush Administration.
Let me make a little prediction. Iran is NOT going to back down. Israel and the USA are going to have to use a military option to stop Iran's dreams of becoming a nuclear power. That's going to mean that we will have to use nuclear weapons. Bush won't do it without running out of every other option, but I think it WILL come to that. And at that point, boys and girls, we have a whole new ball game. Our Special Forces guys will have to take out their leadership, and we'll all hope and pray that, this time around, the Iranian students and huddled masses will really yearn to be free – and will set up a real democracy. That will make three Muslim countries ruled by democracies – Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Think about that. It's gonna make the Saudis, the Emirates, and the rest of the Middle East very nervous. Then the game gets interesting. Will that be the tipping point that makes the Bush Doctrine into a democracy domino theory? I don't know. But it's what I'm hoping for. And the rest of the world? They're just hoping that we'll do the right thing, so they won't have to wish they did.

Rev. Ellen Quaadgras preaching
Finding the Holy in the Holidays
As the holiday season approaches, feelings can be mixed: anticipation, fret, excitement, sadness, or, perhaps, a "here we go again" resignation to the heightened expectations of the season. At the same time, recent political developments may be dampening feelings of hopeful anticipation. In this complex time, amidst the season's insistent demands, how might we find the truly holy in these upcoming holidays? The Chalice Choir will be singing.
This morning we welcome Rev. Ellen Quaadgras to the pulpit. Ellen is now in her fifth year at Westminster Unitarian Church, working to build Beloved Community both inside and outside the church, and is excited for the opportunity to come be with all of you this Sunday in Middleboro. In her free time, Ellen likes to bike, go hiking with friends, play the guitar, or sail in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay.

Our team needed an industrial kitchen for a small commercial shoot and this space was absolutely perfect. The large windows provided more than enough light that we didn't even need to use the light kit that we brought. Parking was easy enough as there is pay lot directly across the street. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. If in the future our team needs to use another industrial kitchen, this is the first place I would try to book again.
Executive Assistant
This is a wonderful space with a great staff. Everyone was so helpful and helped us have a great holiday party. We would highly recommend this space and look forward to using it again.
UX Writer
Our Friendsgiving dinner party couldn't have gone any better. This space is both functional and beautiful. There were two staff members on-site during our event, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. We brought more supplies than we needed to, without knowing how much the space had to offer. It's truly impressive!
Office Experience Manager

In-house Photographer/Videographer
The space was amazing, and Molly was super helpful from beginning to end.
Molly was an excellent host. This space was perfect for our commercial shoot. She was very accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend!

To say that I am a big fan of cannabis authors is an understatement, and should be obvious to everyone. I have always said that I don't consider myself to be an author, or even a writer for that matter. I am an activist who just happens to use blog posts as my preferred method of communicating the word of reform. Some cannabis authors out there are people that I admire very much. I do not consider everyone with an e-book to be an author, and even then, not all cannabis authors are created equal.
Some written cannabis works clearly stand above others. I think that I own more cannabis books than most, and I definitely have my favorites. Many of my personal favorites will be participating in a 'meet the authors' program at the upcoming Cannabis Business Summit and Expo in Oakland, hosted by the National Cannabis Industry Association. The event will take place June 12-14 and is a must attend event.
There are a number of reasons to attend the event, with one very notable reason being the book signings. The following authors will be on hand to meet fans and autograph their books:
John Hudak, Author of Marijuana: A Short History
Uwe Blesching, Author of The Cannabis Health Index
Chris Conrad, Author of The Newbies Guide to Cannabis and the Industry
Donna Shields, MS, RDN, Contributor to Cannabis Kitchen Cookbook
Steve DeAngelo, Author of The Cannabis Manifesto
Jorge Cervantes, Author of numerous titles including: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible
All of those authors and their books are outstanding. Three of them have a special spot on my personal bookshelf. John Hudak is one of the leading policy minds in the cannabis world, and his book Marijuana: A Short History is a fantastic read. I definitely suggest that everyone get a copy of that book, and if you are in Oakland to meet Mr. Hudak, you should thank him for the amazing work that he has been doing on behalf of the Brookings Institution. John is really moving the cannabis conversation forward in a meaningful, responsible way.
People who have read The Cannabis Manifesto by Steve DeAngelo may have seen that I am prominently quoted behind the cover of the book alongside some very smart and famous people. I still don't quite understand how I made the cut to be part of Steve's book (a small part mind you!), but it is an honor that I will cherish the rest of my life. DeAngelo's book is part policy, part industry, part activism, part call to action, and 100% stellar. If you do not have this book on your shelf, you need to remedy that asap. Steve has a personal story like no other, and is a person that everyone should be learning from in the cannabis space. Steve DeAngelo is on my 'Mt. Rushmore of cannabis' without a doubt. If you see Steve at the event, give him a hug for me and thank him for his tireless work in activism and industry.
Over the last year or so I have become good friends with the number 1 cultivation expert on the planet, the legendary Jorge Cervantes. I, like countless others, have admired Jorge Cervantes from afar for a very, very long time. He is a larger than life figure to me, and likely is to you. His grower's bible book is something that is used as a measurement of time in the cannabis world, with many referring to cannabis cultivation as being 'before Jorge's book' or 'after Jorge's book.' It's like a B.C./A.D. type scenario but for cannabis cultivation. Jorge's newest book, The Cannabis Encyclopedia, is, dare I say, even better than the Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/outdoor Medical Grower's Bible. There is all types of amazing info in his book, and whether you are a veteran grower, newbie grower, or just like reading about cannabis cultivation, this book is a must have. Jorge is one of the nicest, smartest people I have ever met, and when you see him at the Summit, make sure to tell him that Johnny Green said hello!
The other authors in attendance have a proven track record in their fields, and be sure to check out their books as well. Admittedly, I don't own all of the books on the list, but rest assured that I will be fixing that very quickly. To be able to see one of these authors and get your copy of their book signed is a treat, but to have all of them in one place over the course of two days is nothing short of amazing. You will not want to miss this opportunity, as well as all of the other opportunities that will be presented at the Cannabis Business Summit and Expo. Early bird tickets are still available, but prices go up tomorrow at midnight, so get your tickets while you can!

I Took Down My Mental Bully and This is What Happened:
I have deeply realized that "perfect" is just an illusion, an opinion, a stern judgement. Perfect is like a floating bulls-eye in the sky, that is forever changing its position and alluding us. I spent a great deal of my life chasing around an illusion and suffered greatly minute to minute because of it.
…if I only could have done this better
what I should have said instead…
…once I hit my goal weight
I should have gotten up earlier…
Oh floating bulls-eye where will you go next?

ōNothing can really prepare you for Africa,
it is too full of extremes and contrasts,
too immense a spectrum of creation
so much wilder and more vivid
than anywhere else
that it seems to require
a new set of senses,
or the rediscovery of lost ones...
You are returned to times and experiences to which we have lost all other access.ö

January 2018
. The very word conjures up an aura of mystery, romance and contrast. More than anywhere else on earth, Africa remains timeless and primeval. You will always remember the clear African sunlight, the sound of the lions at night, the smell of the morning campfire and the indescribable thrill of standing a few feet away from wild animals. These, plus a myriad of other memories such as delicious Cape chilled wine, boutique hotels, thousands of miles of pristine coastline, whales, dolphins and an astonishing array of cultures all draw visitors back to Africa time and time again.
To reach Africa
is no longer difficult or expensive, but if you wish to see the best of what this magical continent has to offer, you must have expert advice.

The Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies located in Blackburn, Victoria, Australia will now be known as Family History Connections. According to the new web site at: https://www.familyhistoryconnections.org.au:
"In the name AIGS, each word had a certain meaning. The word Australian implies that we help people with their Australian research. This is misleading because we provide access to family history resources from around the world. The word could also imply that our members are from around Australia, which is also incorrect, as the majority of our members live locally in Melbourne. We are not an Institute in the modern meaning of the word – conducting research and publishing papers. Rather, we help members to do their own research through the resources we provide. Genealogical Studies is a term not widely recognised in this day and age, when the commonly used term on web sites, commercial databases, magazines and books is Family History.
"The AIGS Council believes a name is extremely important in conveying to the public what you do. Council wanted a clearer, more contemporary name to promote the organisation to the public, and ultimately to attract new members. The decision about the new name was arrived at after long consideration of many words and combinations of words. Council recognised the importance of retaining the original AIGS name, which has been successfully used for nearly forty-five years. Council also voted unanimously to retain our distinctive logo. The design of the FHC name is more modern and in a striking blue and lime palette.
"The new name is a registered business name of the Australian Institute of Genealogical Studies, following the example of the South Australian Genealogy and Heraldry Society, which successfully adopted the new registered business name of Genealogy SA several years ago."

Glencore's fall kicks off a bad session across Europe and the US, ASX futures down 104 points
The ASX will open at the bottom of its range today, thanks to falls of up to 3% in the US and Europe. As stated yesterday, it is fruitless for investors to search for fundamental economic reasons to explain market positioning at present, so I do firmly encourage that those who are looking to make sense of short-term movement click here to take up a Rivkin Global membership. Rivkin Global members, who can take positions that benefit from falling markets, are sitting on a 6% open profit on a short NASDAQ position, which led the falls on major global equity indices last night. US tech stocks have been exponential in their rise since the GFC recovery and thus when risk is removed from markets, stocks listed on this index are among the first to be cut down to size due to their extreme valuations.
In today's first chart I've updated the ASX 200 cash index futures market from the Rivkin Trader platform, which continues to show the 5,000 level holding up for the time being. Today's second chart shows the NASDAQ 100 index taking a step back from its stratospheric rise over the last six years.
Today's last chart shows Glencore PLC (GLEN) in orange falling significantly over the past six months, with selling intensifying last night. The market is concerned that the uncertainty of future commodity prices isn't being addressed at an appropriate pace in the context of GLEN's debt, with CEO Ivan Glasenberg announcing the debt reduction plan just three weeks ago. GLEN fell from GBP 97.22 to 68.62 last night, a 29.4% drop which shaved billions from its market cap. I have also plotted (in black) the CRB ETF, which tracks the CRB commodity index, and shows that while GLEN followed the trend in commodity markets closely up until August, it has now taken on a new trend of its own that is tied to its balance sheet dynamics.
ASX futures have witnessed a fairly deep turnaround, given the positive run we had during yesterday's day session - in the context of yesterday's 71 point rise, we're only down 33 points since Friday's close based on the overnight futures price. So the reaction on Australian markets doesn't look to be too extreme at all - let's see whether we hold the 5,000 level today.

What does it take to become a beauty entrepreneur in today's economy? What is it like to launch a new beauty initiative into this already overcrowded market? This was the subject of Tuesday night's FGI Frontliners panel entitled "The Making of A Beauty Entrepreneur" sponsored by Cosmoprof. A sold out crowd gathered at FGI headquarters for a panel discussion featuring Elana Drell-Szyfer, CEO RéVive Skincare as moderator; Frédéric Fekkai, Co-Founder & CEO, Bastide; Matthew Malin, Co-Founder, Malin + Goetz; Jamie O'Banion, Founder & CEO, Bioscience, and Nancy Twine, Founder, Briogeo.
|Karen Young, FGI, Matthew Malin, Jamie O'Banion, Frederic Fekkai, Elana Drell-Szyfer, Nancy Twine
Drell-Szyfer opened the discussion with a shout-out to a WWD special edition on mergers & acquisitions of beauty brands and their entrepreneurs. "Companies don't come to market anymore, you have to be in the know," she said. The four panelists would certainly fit that description. Of course, Frederic Fekkai, the celebrity hairstylist is basically a household name. "There's Estee, Helena and Frederic," quipped Drell-Szyfer. Tonight's focus was not on his eponymous brand but on his 2015 launch of Bastide, a French skin-care line (he purchased the company Cote Bastide based in his hometown of Aix-en-Provence) for which he has developed his own products. Matthew Malin, once a buyer at Barneys and a developer of products for lines such as Kiehls, is one half of the personal and professional partnership with Andrew Goetz, an architect. Jamie O'Banion is the daughter of a chemist who worked on products for private label dermatologists as well as for "the big four" -- together they developed Beauty Bioscience, a pioneer of various skin advances including a micro-needling patent. Her products are sold on HSN as well as in the prestige market. Nancy Twine started formulating her products in 2010 but worked her high-level job in finance until 2014, "I didn't quit my Wall Street job until I had press and landed Sephora." She developed Biogeo hair care in her studio apartment kitchen after realizing there was a need for products to address a diversity of hair types.
|Capacity audience
Is there a right time to start your business? "No, it's when you have a passion and an idea," said Fekkai. He knew the time was right when he saw Cote Bastide was for sale giving him an opportunity to "rebrand an authentic brand and make it transparent, run like a family business at a global scale." Twine remarked on the importance of filling a void in the market. And if you think it will be easier being your own boss, everyone on the panel agreed with her statement "It's a hustle every single day!" Malin thinks there is a right time to launch adding that he is from a very risk averse family as opposed to Goetz who grew up in a family of entrepreneurs."Fear drove me to work like a dog," he added of his now 14- year old company. Stunning model, former Miss Teen Texas and Miss Teen America runner-up, mother of three O'Banion said it's similar to the question of "Is there ever a right time to start a family?" Her father was a "self-made millionaire" so science was always in her blood. "When people tell me they want to start their own companies so they can make their own hours, when they complain about working 12-hour days -- how do I delicately and politely tell them I wish for their 12-hour days?" She adds that it's important to "organize, prepare and plan" as well as to make mistakes but learn to "pivot before you run out of money."
What about the focus on formulating products with a "natural transparency and performance balance?" "We make a lot of organic raw materials -- there's radical transparency with what's in it and what it is formatted without" said O'Banion, adding that she would never formulate a product with parabens or sulfates. Malin mentions his brand's "modern apothecary look. It's how people shopped a hundred years ago -- you went to the chemist and he mixed something and put his chemist labels on it." He agreed that "the customer has become educated or even over-educated." Twine says her products contain "no synthetics and are six-free. We check in with the EWG (Environmental Working Group) -- everything is cruelty free and vegan certified." Fekkai added "I don't think today we have a choice to include non natural products. Everyone is so educated today. Technology for natural products is developed so well to be toxic free."
What advice would you give to anyone considering becoming a beauty entrepreneur? "The good news about being an entrepreneur is you allow yourself to make a mistake but not to repeat the mistake. What can I do to be different and surprising to the customer? [It's about] creating ideas with product that is exciting and innovative?" O'Banion addressed the guilty mother issue: "Sometimes I'm a kick-ass CEO and sometimes I'm a great mother but they're never on the same day. I'm on a plane every week and I used to apologize to my kids intimating that what I'm doing is wrong so I changed the dialogue. I've re-framed it by saying 'I'm going to go work so hard and you go work so hard at school and we'll high five each other when I get home.'" Malin advises working with someone who possesses different skills than you -- a yin and yang relationship. "I'm dry and sensitive, Goetz is oily and resilient -- we balance each other out although we do butt heads at times."
Other topics such as who to go to for advice (Twine said "everyone who's close to me,") if and when to take on investors ("Finding people to share your passion -- you must seek out the right partner,") the need to diversify the brand (Malin + Goetz has a freestanding store, a website/social media, national and international distributors -- department and specialty stores and an amenity program for the service industry). The importance of knowing and understanding the business operation of your creative endeavor coupled with hiring the right people, and corporate culture were also discussed. Fekkai may have put it best when he offered this piece of wisdom: "You must make it like a home -- if it's not welcoming, people may come in but they will soon get out."
Final words of advice? Fekkai stressed the importance of listening saying "People forget to listen." Twine: "Stay true to your core -- slow and steady wins the race. What is our mission? What are we trying to do?" Malin spoke of the farmhouse in upstate New York where the couple of 25 years goes to retreat and he has taken up gardening. "I'm doing something just for me -- it's something that helps me recharge." O'Banion spoke of "captaining your own ship. We all have 24 hours in a day. It's important to own your own decisions, to put a stake in the ground. No one else can run your life -- define for yourself what success looks like." If that's supposed to be a pep talk it failed on me -- I feel like a slacker!

The Symphony of Salmon starter at the InterContinental Hotel, Johannesburg at OR Tambo is a trio of dishes – a salmon fishcake, a salmon spring roll and smoked salmon and prawn roulade – by Chef Yoshan Naidu.
The salmon spring roll was served on a mild curry sauce and the fish cake was spicy. The smoked salmon and prawn roulades were held together with a herbed cream cheese.
This starter was paired with the KWV Sauvignon Blanc 2013.
The tasting notes say: "This elegant and complex Sauvignon Blanc exudes aromas of limes and green apple with hints spice and subtle tropical undertones. The palate is lively and juicy with a crisp acidity and zesty, lingering finish."
I definitely tasted the fresh green apples and limes. I thought it was a particularly fortunate pairing and enjoyed the wine immensely.

Hi all,
I have an event for a workflow that is set to "fire" onLoad of the
Request form.
I want to change the way the form looks depending on who is making the
request, i.e. the initiator.
But i cannot find a way to return the initiator in the "Event Action

I am trying to build some conditions in this event that will look at
the initiator's role and then populate and disable some fields, like
CompanyCode and CostCenter.
The expression builder does not seem to understand the 'initiator'
variable... Or the IDVault.get method...
The logic I want to apply is as follows:
if (initiator in role CompanyAdmin){
then set Division to initiator's Division value and disable the
I'll get the logic correct once I am able to return values of the
Initiator... I just need help with that...

As I have said so many times - Context Rules. The pix below shows the bigger picture first: The market traded a swing down and then retraced - our typical pullback in the direction of the trend. While we used to just use the CCI to track this we can now use orderflow. The indicator is the Logik Volume Wand which creates the Volume Profile of the swing. There is also the VWAP there. The second pic is a close-up of where the trade triggers. As I said, there was a swing down and then a retracement. The retracement went to the POC of the swing and right below the VWAP - VWAP is the average value of the swing. The red arrow shows orderflow changing from buy to SELL and this is the trigger.
The context is very important as orderflow changes direction often and often without follow through. What is different here is that the context says that if the orderflow changes direction at the POC or VWAP then there is a good enough probability that there will be a big enough move in the direction of the change. The next piece is the trade management: stops and targets. This last piece of the trade is a very big part of being CP.

Its just one chart. 1 click changes the VI into candles in a blink. Technology is great!Delete

It can do the VPs very well and you can use the VAH and VAL and POC but I haven't tried adding the VWAP to just one VP over, say, 10 bars. Talk to support at MD as they may have a way to do this.Delete

Modernist Charles Olson (1910-1970) viewed poetry as a means of projecting energy. As a poet, essayist, and teacher, he had a far-reaching influence. Rejecting the confines of academic poetry, Olson believed that sound was the way to reach the reader:
the HEAD, by way of the EAR, to the SYLLABLE

Here's a sample of his work, which I will allow to "speak" for itself:

Robert Brown Talks U.S. Trade Issues in USLAW
Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP partner Robert L. Brown discusses pending U.S. trade issues and their potential impact on business in the latest issue of USLAW Magazine. Brown details the history, benefits and status of four export-related issues that are especially significant to U.S. trade policy.
"Foreign trade means increased sales, and increased sales mean more jobs," said Brown. "Therefore, the expansion of foreign trade opportunities for U.S. business is an absolutely crucial function for the U.S. government."
Brown concludes that the four initiatives outlined in the article could achieve the goals of increased sales and jobs. Thus, U.S. foreign policy makers must prioritize the enhancement of foreign trade opportunities for the benefit of U.S. business and workers.

We got this new closet installed for her and she loves it...as you can probably tell from the giant grin :)
This photo uses the photographic technique of Depth of Field to partially reveal (or conceal, if you will) a particular aspect of a a photo. This is one of the many uses of this technique. Here, the girl is in sharp focus but the closet is blurred, however, just about enough to show you that it is a closet and has clothes hanging in it, but not enough to show you anything specific about the clothes.

Expert's answer: Heartbeat verification
First of all, you need to change the mindset related to maintenance. Having a flow meter helps you to avoid future problems.
If you have experience with the application and all possible problems that can affect the flow meter, you are the best person to determine when is necessary to do the flow meter verification.
However, if you don't have this kind of expertise, I recommend to run the report once a month to check the flow meter conditions. Yet, if you find out that once a month is too often it will also be sufficient to run the verification each 2 to 6 months.
The Heartbeat technology report will give you detailed information about the output, the transmitter and the sensor conditions. With these information you are able to check if the device is working properly or if you need to schedule a maintenance.
The idea is to trace the lifespan of the flow meter. Therefore the Heartbeat technology and the FieldCare can be a major help. FieldCare provides you with a graphic to track any changes of the flow meter. As a result you will be able to avoid unscheduled downtime.
Other resources that might interest you
How to collect Heartbeat Technology information? – I already have a new device with Heartbeat technology built-in, how can I have access to the flow meter report? Do you know if I need to have specific software to have access and verify the flow meter health?
HBT- Verification or Monitoring? – What's the difference between both solutions? I know that I need to pay more to have the Heartbeat monitoring, but which type of information I will receive from the device?
Calibration and HBT – If I have a report from the Heartbeat Technology, I don't need to calibrate my flow meter? How I can prove that my device is calibrated and working properly?

And once again, Helen Mayhew teams up with Radio 3's Jeffrey Smith to present a series of programmes celebrating, on this occasion, the Top 50 Jazz Albums, polled by BBC Music.
Jazz FM's Content Director Nick Pitts said, "We're excited to once again be partnering with the BBC on this unique project and the fact that we are providing 12 hours of programmes, allows us to showcase to the audience some of the fine presenters and ideas that Jazz FM has day in, day out.

Murder in the Museum
by John Rowland
Paperback: 250 pages
Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press
Released: May 3, 2016
Source: ebook review copy from the publisher through NetGalley.
Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Professor Julius Arnell, a retired academic whose life was devoted to Elizabethan literature, breathes his last in the British Museum Reading Room. Inspector Shelley's suspicions are aroused when he finds a packet of poisoned sugared almonds in the dead man's pocket. A motive becomes clearer when he discovers Arnell was wealthy, and his will is missing.
A friend of Arnell's also recently died in the British Museum Reading Room. Is there connection between these deaths? Henry Fairhurst, a museum visitor who saw the death, adds his detective talents to Inspector Shelley's own. They set about solving one of the most baffling cases Shelley has ever encountered.
My Review:
Murder in the Museum is a mystery novel that was originally published in 1938 and is set in England. We mainly follow Inspector Shelley and his official assistant, but a humorous amateur detective also realized some vital clues which he provides to Shelley. I enjoyed the characters and their pursuit of the answers.
The first two-thirds of the story was a clue-based puzzle mystery which appeared convoluted but was fairly simple underneath due to a limited number of suspects. You can guess at whodunit, but the definitive clue provided everyone with the murderer's name. Then it became a suspenseful chase to save someone's life and catch the murderer.
There was no sex. There was some bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable mystery.
If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.

text: Apr 6 Apr 6 Israel Is More Realistic to Enhance the Democracy in the Country Prince Saud Israel is right now a good democratic state which provides different rights to women to protest against injustice. Unlike the dictatorship in Libya under the regime of Gaddafi, Israel welcomes liberty in thoughts. Women are allowed to cast vote and they are also permitted to go to schools/colleges for being educated. It is not an autocratic state. This country is now slowly opening its windows to welcome foreign countries for investing money to implement developmental programs. This nation must be well established with sound financial background.Knesset Brings Mild Breeze of Democracy to Make People LiberalKnesset is the parliament of Israel. Experts opine that parliament democracy prevails in this country. People are given power to elect their political representatives to form the government. However dispute hovers about the right of Palestine people who are under control of Israel. Earlier, these Palestine people had to refrain themselves from casting votes. They were not allowed to participate in the general election. Israel has declared that there is new law after the Oslo accord.To be frank, people who have to live in the military occupied areas are not given rights to cast votes temporarily. However, it is not a matter of a year. These Palestine people live in the military occupied regions for over several decades.However, Israel government has moved to modify the previous law to facilitate Palestine people to participate in general election. As per the Oslo agreement, these local Palestinians residing in the military occupied pockets are able to cast votes to select their own members. However, they are not allowed to cast votes in general election. It is the first initiative to upgrade their status by empowering them to choose leaders representing their own communities.Recently, the law seems to be much more flexible to enable Jews working in other countries. In past, Jews representatives except those living in foreign land for business are given permission to participate in the parliament election to choose right candidates.Jews members who live in different countries must be inside the land of Israel before commencement of election for vote casting. This exception has been extended by allowing Jews members to cast votes from anywhere through upgraded electronic system. This exception expansion is a good move. It establishes the right of all people irrespective of religion.In Israel, racial profiling, gender bias and vandalism are not encouraged or triggered. The international relationship is also improving because of the leniency and flexibility in changing law.Arab in Same Hierarchy with JewsJewish and Arab citizens are enjoying the same status after the modification of law. For instance, Abdel Rahman Zuabi was selected legally to serve at Supreme Court. He is an Arab by birth.Salim Jubran who is the first Arab to get full-fledged permission to become the honorable judge of Supreme Court. So, slowly the breeze of democracy blows to bring more appreciable changes in the legal framework.Minority communities, women and Palestinians will be given more liberty to express their views.Arabs in Israel are far better than the living standards of their brothers who live in West Bank and Gaza Strip.Hamas are badly treated in Gaza and Arabs are exploited by the government. The right to equality and liberty has been legitimately legalized by the government of Israel.Condition of Women in Israel Improving with Good Business Operating OpportunitiesThe condition of women is fast improving. Earlier, it is horrible as women were not allowed to participate in the social functions. They were not allowed to choose political leaders through referendum. Israel is now solving these sensitive issues by applying institutional force and administrative machinery to bring women to the main stream of the society.In many Muslim states, women are considered to be second rate citizens. They are deprived of equal status. The transition gets speed with much scope for women living in Israel to have enlightenment. Educated WOW (women of the wall) is self-employed.Many high profile conservative women run small parlors, garment showrooms and boutiques.They start new business to earn money independently. The government of Israel also encourages young and married women to start business.Short and flexible business loans are given to female entrepreneurs to open their start-up companies.UN Must Do Cross Verification to Assess Condition of Women in IsraelRecent declaration of UN about the absence of equal status for women in Israel is baseless. This organization must change its mindset through deep probing. There must be even handed when they do surveys to evaluate the condition of all women living in Israel.Israel Enhances Religious ToleranceReligious tolerance is another yardstick for assessment of the role of a country.Israel is tolerant when it identifies different religious schools and sects for recognition. This country is now flexible to Jewish, Arab, Druz and Christians to perform their respective rites/rituals.People coming from different religious schools feel confident of expressing their views. They are not pressurized by the state to go to shrines, religions institutes and schools to have lessons from their religious mentors.Gay and Lesbian Enjoying Equality in Status Israel is also a good place for hermaphrodite and transsexual communities which seem to be out of normal stream in the society, In this case, this country is much modernized and liberated. Lesbian and gay communities are allowed to mix together.Gay and lesbians are not obstructed to claim their recognition. Tel Aviv, the popular city in Israel, is called "World's Best Gay City".So the liberalization in this Middle East country is getting stronger with more opportunities for minorities, women and all religious minded people to thrive vigorously.Israel supports democracy and it values the rights of people. Men and women have the rights to get justice.Women are not tortured. So, international human rights commissions and UNO must send representatives to Israel to re verify the condition of women.They must not fabricate fictitious stories under political pressure. They must not showcase high handedness while assessing the overall role of Israel in building up the nation in the fountain of flawless democracy.

CARES Northwest honored as Outstanding Volunteer Group by AFP
In an average month, more than 140 children are received at CARES Northwest for an abuse evaluation. The collaborative community-based medical program responds to victims of sexual or physical abuse, neglect, or exposure to domestic violence. A medical evaluation and forensic interview can last several hours during which time volunteers play a crucial role keeping siblings occupied and adults calm. The children and families who walk through the door are experiencing a frightening time in their life with many emotions such as worry, shame, betrayal, anger, fear, and sadness. CARES Northwest coordinates medical, mental health, child protective services, and law enforcement agencies to ensure that children obtain needed professional services in one location.
Volunteers at CARES Northwest understand the delicate and stressful circumstances which precipitate a visit to CARES Northwest. The volunteer program is comprised primarily of devoted undergraduate students from regional colleges and universities who have deep compassion and significant abilities to support children, youth, and adults exposed to trauma. They represent a range of academic disciplines including pre-med, pre-nursing, pre-law, social work, counseling, psychology, criminal justice, education, social service, and public health.
"Our goal is to help children and families heal from the impact of trauma. We do that in a number of ways, including creating a safe, child-friendly environment; with a specially trained staff with expertise in child abuse evaluation and treatment; by collaborating with community partners so families can assess multiple helping professionals in one location; by providing services regardless of the families' ability to pay; and by engaging the community in the work we do, because without our community of caring volunteers and supporters, we wouldn't be able to provide the level of collaborative, comprehensive care that child abuse victims and their families need and deserve," said Debby Kernan, Volunteer Program Director.
Since 2000, when volunteer statistics began being tracked, 257 volunteers have contributed 26,153 hours and served 12,207 evaluated children, 236 trauma therapy clients, and 5,529 siblings and family members of evaluated children, totaling 17,972 individuals.
"Some of our volunteers are also actively involved with clinical research or data gathering for current analytical studies supervised by clinical staff. Another volunteer, of 18 years, devotes her talent and energies to administrative support activities. Others spend countless hours creating beautiful quilts for the children seen at CARES Northwest, so that every child gets to choose their own quilt at the end of their child abuse evaluation," Kernan said.
All volunteer applicants, from their initial interview and clinic tour, increase their awareness and understanding of prevention, intervention and treatment of child abuse as well as the importance of trauma-informed care in a multidisciplinary clinic. Through extensive volunteer orientation and training, volunteers develop appreciation for professional ethics and boundaries, standards of care, confidentiality, cultural sensitivity, evidenced-based practice, vicarious trauma, and clinical excellence.
"Parents know their children are protected and comforted by our volunteers, which gives them freedom to focus with our clinicians and community partners," Kernan said. "Most importantly, volunteers know they are contributing to our families' hope and healing."

Cerebral Palsy is a disorder of motor function caused by an acquired injury to the brain as it is developing. It is important to understand that only a minute number of babies who suffer from Cerebral Palsy, do so, as a result of negligent care during the pregnancy, delivery or even from the neo – natal care provided.
Cerebral Palsy can occur without negligence but the manner in which the pregnancy, delivery and neo – natal care is handled can often have an effect particularly if it is handled poorly. In these instances, if competent care had been provided then quite often the injury to the brain could have been avoided or at least significantly reduced.
Numerous common complications can arise during pregnancy, delivery and in the immediate period afterward, unfortunately some of these are not properly addressed by medical staff.
Our Solicitors in our Medical Negligence/ Healthcare Law Department have vast experience in dealing with such cases and achieving successful results for our Clients.
