Hilltop Fortress Town
Although the town of Lucignano now sprawls across the hillside in southern Tuscany, the old compact walled medieval walled town remains much as it is throughout the centuries. The walls are built is an elliptical shape with houses backing on to them, through which four gateways pass.
The outer elliptical street has two further streets within in running parallel to the first and forming a system of rings with hilly streets giving access at various points. The streets are quite narrow, even at the widest parts, in relation to the height of the buildings allowing the sun to penetrate some of the houses. Needless to say this is where the better class of housing is built, whilst the poorer people live in perpetual shade.
Its prominent hilltop position overlooking the main road between Arezzo and Siena made it an idea site to fortify. Its name probably is derived from that of the Roman consul Licinio who founded a fortress there which became known as Lucinianum. There is also archaeological evidence of Etruscan settlements in the area.
Its strategic importance was to bring it into conflict with several armies over the following centuries, and its control was continually being passed between its four neighbours Arezzo, Perugia, Florence and Siena between 1200 and 1500 CE.
The fortress as seen today was started around 1200, but construction and alterations continued throughout the next three centuries. The town walls and three major gates, Porta St Giovanni, Porta Murata, and Porta St Giusto, along with the twin towered fortress, were completed whilst under the rule of Siena.
When Lucignano came under the rule of the De Medici family from Florence in 1554, a new fortress was built along with other alterations to defences. The original castle on the high centre of the town was transformed into a religious centre, with the Collegiate of Michael the Angel (1594), the Franciscan Convent of the Cappuccines (1580), and the Church of the Misericordia (1582) which dominate the central squares of the Piazza St Francis and the Piazza Del Tribunale.
Whilst under Perugia's rule, Lucignano adopted the winged griffon from Perugia's coat-of-arms, to which was added a star to show its importance as a hilltop town. The coat-of-arms is still used today.
Today Lucignano is a strange place to visit being largely intact and with few cars or people to be seen as there are not many gardens or open spaces. They do have a small cinema/theatre, a small hospital, a couple of cafes and a police station. Employment seems to be largely in the surrounding countryside producing olive oil and honey, whilst there is still some stoneware, ceramics, furniture and jewellery produced within the walls.

The MES Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS) allow your vessels to meet the mandate of 0.1% sulfur content even when using the much lower-cost "bunker" fuel with a 3.5% or higher sulfur content.
Installed new, or retrofitted onto existing ships, our solutions are available for various engine sizes and operating environments. The MES marine scrubber has open-loop, closed-loop and hybrid configurations and one of the smallest footprints in the industry.
Our modular sea-proven design coupled with our unique custom engineering approach provides you industry leading investment paybacks.
The MES EGCS is a propriety spray-type scrubber with minimal backpressure. The Exhaust Gas Cleaning Unit (EGCU) is installed in the funnel of the vessel.
The EGCU is installed in-line with the exhaust system and replaces the traditional silencer. The scrubber is fabricated using corrosion-resistant material and is designed for the maximum plausible temperature of the exhaust gas stream.
The exhaust gas outlet from the EGCU is constantly monitored by the Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) to comply with regulations.
The biggest benefit of the MES open-loop EGCS is the simplicity in its design. As the open-loop configuration leverages the natural alkalinity in seawater as the cleaning agent, no chemical agents are necessary. Used seawater is diluted and discharged overboard by the EGCS while meeting water discharge regulations.
Simplicity in this system means lower capital and operational costs. The open-loop configuration (seawater scrubber) is not a good fit for vessels which operate in low alkalinity waters (or fresh water) or in areas which does not allow overboard discharge.
The wash water is comprised of fresh water, a treatment fluid (sodium hydroxide solution) and other proprietary non-hazardous chemical additives. Fresh water is used to make-up water lost through evaporation and carry-over in the system.
The SOx and particulates in the exhaust gas stream are absorbed and collected in the wash water solution. The wash water solution is then cleaned in the Wash Water Treatment System (WWTS). The neutralized SOx, salt precipitate, and wash water residue are extracted and stored as sludge for shore side disposal.
The biggest benefit of the closed loop configuration is that it is independent of the operating environment of the vessel. These configurations are particularly good for vessels which spend a significant amount of time in fresh water.
In open-loop mode, the MES Hybrid EGCS takes advantage of the alkalinity in seawater to reduce the operational costs of the scrubber. The treatment fluid dosing and cleaning systems are shutoff. Seawater is pumped through the system to scrub the exhaust gas.
In closed-loop mode, the MES Hybrid EGCS is capable of operating in any environment. Internally circulated wash water does not rely on the chemical makeup of external water sources. Little to no overboard discharge allows vessels to meet some of the most stringent water discharge regulations.
A MES Hybrid EGCS fitted vessel has the flexibility to meet various exhaust emission and water discharge regulations in the most cost efficient manner.

This week's FIRE IT UP cardio is going to rock your booty with resistance bands! This routine is made up of three different exercise using bands that you can find at your gym or any local or online sports store.
This workout builds muscle while you get in your cardio sweat! With the speed and small breaks, you'll definitely be feeling the burn. All you will need is a kettlebell and any bench or step!
Hate cardio machines? Then this workout is for you! All you need is a barbell and some open space to get your sweat on. For this program, you'll be doing as many as round as possible of barbell deadlifts and high knee runs within 15 mintues.
Move over boring cardio--finish your workout strong and burn serious calories with this high intensity circuit! For this program, we will be using a stability ball for all four exercises! There isn't specific number of rounds you must complete—the goal is to get in as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.
This week's HIIT routine combines burpees with a box or step for some serious intensity and core stability.
This week's High Intensity Interval Training routine consists three exercises using resistance. I chose a lighter kettlebell (10 pounds), so I could move more quickly through the movements to focus on getting in a cardiovascular workout. This is a killer finishing circuit to add to the end of your workout! Burn, baby, burn!
This week's High Intensity Interval Training routine is a grueling 3-part session, which utilizes a sandbag. Sandbag training is awesome for many reasons. Lifting the weight of the bag can be more challenging than using a barbell or dumbbell, because the center of mass is constantly shifting forcing more stabilization.
The Smith machine can be used for more than just squats, and this program will introduce you to a few of my favorites! Using only a Smith machine, I was able to cram in a killer HIIT workout and accomplish two goals: building strength and burning lots of calories!
This week's High Intensity Interval Training routine is a 3-part session using the row machine and a BOSU ball. I completed 4 rounds as fast as I could with minimal rests to keep my heart rate up.
This HIIT cardio routine is a booty kicker! Using a box or step and a medicine ball, this three-exercise combination performed pyramid-style is guaranteed to spike your heart rate and keep it there!

Proper labeling is an important aspect of a cosmetic or personal care product. Labeling is used to help inform consumers of a product's intended use and any related warnings, its ingredients and net quantity of contents, and its place of manufacture or distribution. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulate cosmetic labeling under the authority of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA). These laws and their related regulations are intended to protect consumers from health hazards and deceptive practices and to help consumers make informed decisions about the personal care products they purchase. Still, names can be confusing such as "salon formulated" and it can be difficult for consumers to understand why they really mean. We asked Piero Pirri, famed hairstylist and owner of Pirri Hair Group in Ct and the founder of the hair care line Pirri Elements to help decode hair product jargon.
Natural isn't always better. "Consumers should not necessarily assume that an 'organic' or 'natural' ingredient or product would possess greater inherent safety than another chemically identical version of the same ingredient," "In fact, 'natural' ingredients may be harder to preserve against microbial contamination and growth than synthetic raw materials" says Piero. The best conditioners on the market contain silicone, which leaves your hair smooth and silky but is completely unnatural.
Hypoallergenic: Even if you have sensitive skin, products labeled "hypoallergenic" are a waste of money. "'Hypoallergenic' is little more than a nonsense word," warns Piero. "Given that there are no regulations governing this supposed category that was made up by the cosmetics industry, there are plenty of products labeled 'hypoallergenic' that contain problematic ingredients and that could indeed trigger allergic reactions. The word 'hypoallergenic' gives you no better understanding of what you are or aren't putting on your skin."
Studies: The back of the bottle of shampoo promises "up to 70% more volume" and that it's "proven to perform" based on "a consumer test." "There are lots of ways to use pseudoscience to create proof for a claim that, in reality, has very little to do with science and everything to do with marketing," explains Piero.
Clinically Proven:
It is meant to infer that he manufacturer has conducted some testing of the product in a clinical setting, like a lab. It doesn't mean that anything significant has been "proven."
Fragrance-free: It means that the product has no noticeable smell and usually contains no added artificial or chemical fragrances. Piero explains that, "It doesn't mean it's totally free of added substances, like botanical extracts, that mask the smell of the basic ingredients."
Dermatologist-Tested: This means thata dermatologist tested the product.
It does not mean that it's approved and endorsed by a dermatologist. "The implication is that the dermatologist liked it, but you don't know that," says Piero.
Restructuring: Found on hair-care labels, this word implies the product will restore hair to its natural structure -- before it was damaged with styling and chemical treatments.
Piero cautions that, "It does not mean that you can permanently restructure hair. This is a temporary fix that will leave hair looking and feeling healthier."
Many drug store brands claim that they are just as good as the salon brands. The simple truth is that salon products and drug store brands can have the same ingredients. However, the amounts of those ingredients per bottle are what you really need to know. Most salon quality hair care products have much more of the proteins and vitamins that your hair needs to stay healthy. The drug store brands may have these ingredients, but they have them in much lower quantities.
You may find brands that boast extra ingredients like honey, aloe, or natural herbs. Piero says that, "For the most part, these are just for show. While some of these may have benefits for your hair the truth is there simply are not enough of those ingredients in the product to have any effect."
Piero cautions that, "Any product claiming it can heal your hair is not worth any price. Hair is dead and cannot be fixed with anything but a good set of styling scissors. If you are considering salon products but you are not sure about paying the extra money, try samples and see for yourself if you notice any improvement."

Band crowned Polaris Prize winners award ahead of the likes of Broken Social Scene and Caribou
Karkwa have won the Canadian equivalent of the Mercury Prize for their album 'Les Chemins De Verre'.
Called the Polaris Prize, the jury led contest featured 10 finalists, including the like of Caribou, The Besnard Lakes, Tegan and Sara and Broken Social Scene, with the Montreal group bagging the $20,000 prize and coveted title.
"That's weird, that's very strange," the band said after being awarded the prize. "We're holding a cheque for $20,000 and we don't understand anything."
Formed in 1998, 'Les Chemins De Verre' is the band's fourth full-length studio effort.
Last year Fucked Up scooped the coveted award and prize money for their album 'The Chemistry Of Common Life'.
The winner of 2010's Barclaycard Mercury Prize in the UK was The xx for their debut album 'xx'.

In high school, sometimes it's hard to see where you're going with all this homework, tests, and quizzes. We have trouble seeing what we can take from four of the hardest years a teenager will face. Occasionally, we'll joke around with our peers. "When will I ever need to know the year World War I started?" or "How does trigonometry help me when I need to file taxes or pay my bills?" but seriously, what do we take out of our school years into our adult and future lives.
First and foremost, when you think about high school your friends come to mind. That's your social skills, how you interact with people, talk with them, and act around certain people will define who you are for the rest of your life. While who you are in freshmen year or even senior year will not be the same person you'll be when you graduate college, you can gain a lot of valuable lessons from the connections you make. Through your social circles, and then conflicts that will rise between them, you learn how to communicate yourself while still keeping your relationships healthy and intact.
In group projects, it'll often be heard from teachers that you'll have to work with people you don't like and you'll just have to deal with it because that's just life. For some part, it's a true statement. When you are working in the same field as others, it's usually a group effort, and you fail and succeed together. That's how a good society should function and work. In life, while it may seem like it's every man (or woman) for themselves, you'll find yourself in the midst of other people just trying to survive just like you. When you start working, you can't just tell your boss that you don't want to work in your assigned team because of some internal conflicts. In high school, you'll learn early the lesson of being a good team player, flexibility, and how to deal with the upsets of dealing with others you just don't like.
Development of your personality is another big thing to do with high school. You'll learn a lot about your limits. How strong your belief systems are and what you do about conflicting ones. A lot of your personality, however, will be based on how others view you. While most would like to think they stay above the influences of social approval, it's human nature to seek acceptance, especially at such a vulnerable time in your life.
Responsibility is taught to you. In life you are going to sink or swim, and if you manage to swim the tides will go against you. They will pile on top of you and try to drown you, but you can't let the tides win. It's when the realization that you are the only person responsible for how your time is spent and how your life goes. Procrastination is your own choice as well. No one will take responsibilities for you, they are all your own to take care of so you must do so with the best of your abilities. If you take five AP classes, then you better start doing the proper work for them.
Handling authority is another aspect. You will learn that people like your parents or teachers will not always know what's best for you. They may want what they think is the best for you which is an entirely different situation. For your teachers and principals, you'll have to follow school rules or face the punishments. In some cases, you'll feel the need to stand up for yourself and what you as an individual believe is right. For your parents, a similar case goes. Your mom might want you to go to Yale when you're already accepting an invitation to a local arts school. You and your parents will not always see eye to eye, but handle it with a sense of respect to both yourself and your parents before you make rash judgement.
There are a lot of things you can take from high school, it just depends on how you see life how it is.

Street Smart Sustainability
Go Green While Making Green
You already know why your company should go green. This comprehensive guide tells you how to do it profitably. It details every step of the process—from getting employee buy-in and conducting a current sustainability audit to developing a plan of action and measuring progress. Nuts-and-bolts guidance helps you make continuous, cost-effective improvements and shift the prevailing business culture by infusing green practices into your organization's very DNA.
Through illustrative examples from a wide variety of industries, this book shows how to:
• Design sustainable products
• Green your facilities
• Find green vendors
• Use renewable energy
• Reduce harmful emissions
• Recycle waste products, and more
The emphasis is on practicality—stand-alone chapters you can read when you need them and tools you can use to implement change in any area of your organization.
20 Chapters
1 Leadership Greening from the Top
No single factor is more important to successfully greening an enterprise than for its leaders to create a sustainability vision and make a commitment to continuous progress toward realizing that vision. This chapter is about finding that vision, owning it, articulating it, and getting your managers and employees to support it so that your sustainability goals become their sustainability goals. Once this is done, the vision is infused into the corporate culture and becomes self-replicating.
In creating Stonyfield Farm, CEO Gary Hirshberg had a vision that "the company is not about making yogurt but about greening the world one yogurt container at a time."1 Horst Rechelbacher of Aveda had a vision of using 100 percent organic ingredients, not petrochemicals, in nonfood products such as cosmetics because doing so is better for the health of the planet and your health too.
Today, both of these companies have hundreds of millions of dollars in annual sales and are mostly owned by multinational conglomerates, but they both started out as struggling little companies. Their mission of healing the planet led to their success. Now they are transforming the multibillion dollar multinational companies that invested in them into more sustainable companies.
2 Audits Measuring Where You Are
Whatever sustainability target you have set for yourself, in order to hit the bull's-eye you have to know where you are standing in relation to your target. The process for assessing your current sustainability performance is called a sustainability audit. In a sustainability audit, you try to quantify your energy and material use and your emissions and releases to the environment. You also seek objective evidence to assess whether you are in compliance with regulations and any voluntary commitments that you have made vis-à-vis the environment or sustainability. A sustainability audit is your environmental report card.
Every line item in your profit (and loss) statement, cash flow statement, general ledger, and balance sheet has a corresponding environmental impact. The sustainability audit quantifies that impact. While a sustainability audit is a look backward, it is a crucial step in moving forward toward sustainability. To get where you are going, you have to know where you are. Creating a plan helps you find what additional key measures you need to assess. After the audit, you may discover items that should be included in your plan.
3 The Plan Implementing Your Sustainability Vision
You have your vision, it's authentic, and it resonates with your actions. You have buy-in from the employees and a mechanism to motivate them to work toward continuous environmental improvement. You have performed a baseline audit and are informed of all the key events that influence your company's environmental footprint. Now you need a plan to translate that vision into action. Once you have a plan, you can do what the plan requires of you, measure the results of your action, and then review the results to determine if you are on target or need to tweak the plan in order to keep making continuous progress toward sustainability.
This chapter is about converting your sustainability vision into a plan and ensuring its success by planning, doing, measuring, and reviewing. You'll learn how to determine which of the various environmental management systems, protocols, and standards can best help you achieve your vision. Whatever options you select and whatever direction you take, don't seek perfection because it is perennially elusive. Seek excellence and push yourself and your organization, but aim for continuous improvement, not perfection.
4 Metrics If You Can Measure It, You Can Manage It
This chapter details three powerful analytic tools—the input/output mass balance analysis, life cycle analysis, and break-even analysis. These diagnostic tools help you see what's up with your organization so that you can make changes. The input/output mass balance analysis quantifies your releases to water, emissions to air, and solid waste; the life cycle analysis shows the impact of your product or service from cradle to grave; and the break-even analysis tells you how much savings you will get from environmental improvements or how much you have to decrease costs or increase revenue to pay for environmental improvements.
Matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another. This basic law of physics and chemistry is the theory behind one of the most powerful tools in sustainability auditing—the input/output mass balance analysis. In simple terms, the weight of the raw materials and manufactured goods you buy plus the water and air you add should equal the weight of products you ship plus the weight of your emissions to air, the weight of garbage and recyclables that leave your facility, and the weight of material you discharge down the drain.
5 Design Making It Sustainable from the Start
The best way to get green is to design green. Every company or enterprise is constantly involved in design. Organizations design innovative products and services and innovative ways to make existing products and to perform existing and new tasks. So green design is a common entry point for companies seeking to become sustainable. This chapter provides guidance on sustainable green design of products and services.
It turns out that proactive green design is much more cost-effective than reactive solutions to environmental challenges. The design Rule of Tens states that if it costs $10 to come up with design criteria, it costs $100 for the actual design, $1,000 for the prototype, $10,000 for the preproduction run, $100,000 to produce the product, and $1 million to recall it after a flaw is discovered that could have been addressed in the $10 design phase.
In chapter 4 we discussed the life cycle analysis. The first rule in sustainable design is to review all of the LCA categories. To design a more sustainable product, ask and answer the question, "What improvements can be designed into the product in the preproduction, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, use, and disposal phases as a function of inputs of energy, water, and material, and outputs of emissions to air, releases to water and solid waste, and impacts on human health and ecology?" If you completed an LCA matrix (see resource E), the boxes that are highlighted in red represent the greatest environmental impact. These are the areas to focus on in your green design efforts for the next product iteration.
6 Facility Making Your Workplace Green
Both "ecology" and "economy" have their roots in the Greek word oikos, meaning "home." This chapter deals with the ecology and economy of your enterprise's home and how to make your enterprise's facility more sustainable. If you have a virtual business, then your business's home is your home. Your business's home and the energy to maintain it can be the biggest environmental burden your enterprise causes or they can have a zero net impact if you make the right choices in terms of construction materials, energy efficiency, water conservation, and indoor environmental quality. Green building protocols can help you address all these issues.
The ultimate sustainable construction materials were employed in renovating the College Hall at New College, Oxford, built in 1386. After five hundred years, the oak beams supporting the ceiling started to decay and needed replacing. Oak trees take five hundred years to produce such massive beams, so they are not easy to source and would be expensive if you could find them. After many years of searching, replacements were discovered in two separate stands of oak trees in Buckinghamshire. It turned out both forests were owned by Oxford College. Presumably, the College Hall builders in 1386 sustainably planned for the ceiling's replacement. The giant oaks were cut down and the old beams replaced.
7 Energy Using Renewable Energy, Energy Audits, and Conservation
This chapter covers the basics of the sustainable use of energy, discusses the various forms of renewable energy, explains how to perform an energy audit, and provides recommendations for energy conservation.
Almost everything that moves and breathes on this planet does so because of energy it captures from the sun.1 The energy it takes for you to move and breathe comes from the stored energy in the plant you ate or in the animal you ate, which ate a plant, which originally stored the sun's energy. When you burn a piece of wood, you are releasing the solar energy that the chloroplasts in the plant captured and that was converted to sugar and then polymerized into cellulose and lignin. When you burn fossil fuels, you are releasing solar energy that was captured by plants as long as 350 to 450 million years ago. Using oil, gas, or coal as fuel is spending the earth's capital. If you have capital and spend only the interest you earned, you can do this forever. If you spend the capital, even a tiny amount, and do this consistently over time, you will eventually run out of money. Sustainability is about using the earth's energy income and not its energy capital.
8 Carbon Quantifying and Reducing Your Carbon Footprint
In the near future, enterprises of all sizes will need to consider and address their carbon footprints—the amount of carbon dioxide that they produce. This chapter provides a short explanation of the greenhouse warming effect and indicates how upcoming regulations are likely to affect corporations. Then you'll learn how to determine what your carbon footprint is and how to reduce it cost-effectively.
The glass roof of a greenhouse allows visible light to travel through, where it is absorbed and becomes heat (infrared), but the glass does not transmit infrared heat, so the heat stays trapped in the greenhouse. Carbon dioxide and certain other gases in the earth's atmosphere have a similar effect. They trap heat near the earth's surface.
The gases that have been officially identified by the UN under the Kyoto Protocol as greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, and certain fluorinated gases (CFCs) like Freon. Each molecule of methane traps 23 times as much heat as each molecule of carbon dioxide. Nitrous oxide traps 296 times as much. For CFCs, the numbers are even higher.
9 Purchasing Using Your Dollar to Save the Planet
The greatest impact companies can have is often not what they do, but what they buy and where they buy it. This chapter deals with what to buy, where to buy, who to buy from, and how to buy to ensure sustainability.
The most important message in this chapter is that you have enormous power to do good by choosing how you spend your money, whom you spend it with, and what you spend it on. And if you believe that you are too small to make a difference or to be able to influence your vendors' environmental practices, you are just plain wrong. The eight rules for sustainability purchasing will show you how.
First of all, let's get very clear about responsibilities and boundary conditions. Just because you are not producing the raw material or components you use does not take you off the hook of responsibility. If you buy something and use it or resell it, you own the responsibility. For example, over 90 percent of dairy product companies' environmental impact is on the farm, or, put another way, 90 percent of their impact is from the milk they buy, not from their own product production activities.
10 Reduce Getting to Net Zero Emissions and Releases
This chapter is about voluntary commitments—going beyond government regulations—to making continuous improvement in reducing your total environmental footprint. Many companies and organizations are even making the commitment to reduce their emissions to air, releases to water, and solid waste to zero. It seems impossible to do and even more so to do it cost-effectively, yet all it takes is a voluntary commitment. The following examples show how it is done.
Net-zero-waste pioneer Gunter Pauli was CEO of Ecover, a small company that makes cleaning products (laundry powder, dishwashing liquid, car wax) from natural and renewable raw materials. Ecover opened a near-zero-emissions factory in Gunter's native Belgium in 1992. A grass roof kept the plant cool in summer and warm in winter. The water treatment system ran on wind and solar energy. The factory became a media darling. Ecover captured 6 percent of the Belgian detergent market in eighteen months without spending a dime on advertising. Gunter doesn't claim that zero emissions are cheaper, just that you make more money. David worked with him in the development of Gunter's Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives1 pavilion for the 2000 Hannover World's Fair.
11 Waste Turning an Environmental Problem into a Business Opportunity
This final chapter is about Joe's favorite topic and about the ultimate in being sustainable; instead of using resources and producing waste, using waste to produce resources. Sustainable businesses are popping up all over that are making money by turning an environmental problem into a business opportunity. In the United States, we create a lot of waste. This waste can be repurposed into something useful to create jobs, sustain the environment, and inspire innovation.
Living creatures spend most of their time finding and eating food. A creature that finds a food source that no other species is using is defined as its own species and guaranteed survival. That is one of the reasons why in nature, every creature's waste is another creature's food.
Life has been on this planet for approximately 3.5 billion years. With an estimated annual biomass production of approximately 200 gigatons,1 if all creatures' waste was not eaten by other creatures and recycled, the entire surface of the earth would be covered in excrement approximately 700 miles thick.

Every year, BusinessWeek puts out a list of the world's strongest brands. Microsoft always hovers near the top and this year finished on the podium with a solid third-place finish. Sugar-water purveyor Coca-Cola is No. 1 and technology rival IBM came in second.
I'm a bit surprised about IBM. Sure, it's roughly double the size of Microsoft. But most consumers don't have any IBM gear. Meanwhile, even many Mac users still run Office (like all three of my kids; I should know -- I paid for the license). Microsoft touches almost all of us.
But the real surprise is that Harley-Davidson came in 72nd place, behind Hyundai! When was the last time you saw a Hyundai, IBM or Microsoft tattoo?

Boroughmuir Blaze and City of Edinburgh Kings are both having to recover from heavy weekend defeats as they prepare for tomorrow night's Scottish Basketball Cup Final at Oriam, while recent form bodes well for Edinburgh University in Sunday's women's final with Lady Rocks.
Blaze and Kings met on league business at The Crags Centre last Friday, and although Kings were convincing 90-62 winners, neither Blaze captain Eoghann Dover nor Kings coach Craig Nicol are reading too much into that result.
"Blaze did very well against us earlier in the season, beating us 70-57 in October and exposing a lot of our weaknesses," pointed out Nicol. "We had a very good result last weekend, but we know they had one or two key players missing. We had a plan and, full credit to the guys, they executed it superbly at both ends of the court. The result was a good one, but we don't read too much into it. We've got to try and do the same thing again on Saturday, but we're expecting a much closer contest this time. Anything can happen in a Cup Final and recent form goes out the window. We've been performing at a high level in recent weeks and we'll need to be at our very best again to have a chance of winning the club's eighth Scottish Cup (their first since 2013)."
Kings' ten-game winning streak was emphatically ended when they lost by 20 points in Paisley last Sunday, and Nicol reflected: "We were a little bit fatigued, playing two games in two days, but we knew how important it was and yet we didn't play anywhere near our best. It's looking unlikely that we'll win the league now, but it's good that we have an immediate opportunity to bounce back from last Sunday.
"We're at full strength for the Final. We have 14 guys vying for selection and I can only pick 12, so it's a difficult one for me. Every member of the team came through our youth development programme and we're extremely proud of that. I don't know the last time a team won a major Scottish title with 100 per cent home-grown talent. It's a testament to everyone at our club that we've got to this point."
Blaze skipper Dover is aiming to go one better than last year when Boroughmuir were beaten in the Final by Falkirk Fury. "We're pretty well-prepared for the Final, much better than we were last week!" he laughed. "We were missing a few of our bigger players then and we just didn't turn up, but we've kind of brushed that off and refocused for Saturday's game. I think that defeat has revitalised everyone here because we didn't give a good account of ourselves and we want to go out on Saturday and show what a good team we are. You often play your best basketball when the pressure's on and hopefully we can do that. Winning the league may be beyond us, but we're definitely looking to win the Cup and get a place in the end-of-season play-offs. We'll have all the injured guys back, so we're at full strength. They've been looking good in training and it's great to have them back."
Ahead of Sunday afternoon's women's final, Edinburgh University are hoping that the form book won't be torn up because it clearly favours them rather than their opponents Lady Rocks. While Lady Rocks have lost three of their four league games since last month's Cup semi-finals, the students have won all three and are unbeaten since late-October. Two weeks ago, they beat Rocks 72-53 in Cumbernauld Coach Jordan Webb would happily settle for more of the same on Sunday.

Help with tuition - Island Advantage Bursaries and Debt Reduction
The Island Advantage will help students access higher education and launch their careers at home. These recently announced investments in students mean that all Island students can receive more help with tuition, more than 1000 Islanders will have free tuition, and all grads living in PEI will get more help paying off their student loans.
Island Advantage - George Coles
Most Island students will receive more money in annual bursaries starting this fall. This could mean $4400 to $8800 in bursaries, depending on your program of study. Learn more about the amount of tuition supports you may be eligible for - Investments in Student Financial Assistance
To receive this money, students simply need to enrol at UPEI, Holland College, Maritime Christian College or College de l'Ile. The Island Advantage - George Coles Bursary is only for first-time students.
To be eligible, students must be a resident of PEI. Make sure your school has your Social Insurance Number to prove your residency. Students already receiving tuition help through Skills PEI may not be eligible.
Island Advantage - low and middle-income students
Low and middle-income Islanders can access needs-based support on top of the other bursaries. When combined with existing supports, this bursary is expected to provide more than 1,000 qualifying students with free tuition. Learn more about the amount of tuition supports you may be eligible for - Investments in Student Financial Assistance
To find out if you qualify, apply for a student loan. By applying for a student loan, we will assess your income and tell you how much support you are eligible for. Student loan applications are available in June and you should get your application in by July 15 to ensure you receive your loan in September.
To be eligible, you must attend one of PEI's publicly-funded institutions UPEI, Holland College, Maritime Christian College or College de l'Ile. This bursary is available to all Island students, including those receiving help from Skills PEI and pursuing their second degree.
Debt reduction - More help paying off your student loans
Students with provincial student loans can apply for $3,500 per academic year in debt reduction. To access this help, file an application for debt reduction.
Students will need to reside in Prince Edward Island after graduation. To prove their residency, students will be required to file a tax return as a Prince Edward Island resident.
The increase to debt reduction will commence in 2018-2019 academic year, but you are still eligible for up to $2000 in debt reduction if you've graduated in previous years. You have up to three years after graduation to apply. All loans must be in good standing to qualify for the debt reduction grant.
Common questions about the Island Advantage
How will this help students?
We know a post-secondary education is important and we know many students are worried about the financial barriers. We've heard the concerns of the student unions and the Youth Futures Council and at YDAY and we really appreciate their advice and assistance with this. In a nutshell, all Island post-secondary students will receive more money in bursaries starting this fall 2018.
How is the Island Advantage – George Coles expanding?
If you are a PEI student, you could get $4400 to $8800 in bursaries, depending on your program of study. No application is required. To receive this money, simply enroll as a first-time student at UPEI, Holland College, Maritime Christian College or College de l'Ile.
For the George Coles, you used to receive $2200 in your first year. What's changing?
You will receive $2200 every year. Students used to receive between $400-2200 depending on which year they were in, but now they receive $2200 per year.
What about if I'm already studying at a PEI school? Can I get help in my second, third, or fourth year?
Yes, this bursary is dispersed annually. You will be eligible for the Island Advantage any year of your first degree. For those taking their second degree, they are not eligible for the George Coles but may be eligible for other help.
Are there eligibility exceptions to the George Coles?
Most PEI students attending PEI schools are eligible. There are two possible exceptions to the Island Advantage - George Coles. You must be in your first degree, so George Coles doesn't apply if you go for a second degree. And if you're already receiving a tuition subsidy from Skills PEI, you won't be eligible to get extra money. However, these students may still be eligible for the Island Advantage - Low and Middle Income and Debt Reduction.
How can a student be eligible for free tuition?
Students of low and middle-income families can get needs-based support on top of other bursaries. For more than 1,000 Island students this will mean free tuition.
For the extra help, students should apply for a student loan and your income will be assessed to determine how much support you can get. The first student loan application deadline is July 15. Applying by July 15 means you'll get your financial help in September.
What is the definition of low and middle-income?
There are some variables so students should contact our office for help to know what they are eligible for.
What about PEI students who go to school elsewhere?
Students still may have some debt after graduation, so students with provincial student loans, who live in PEI within three years of graduating, can get up to $3,500 per academic year in debt reduction.
If you graduated earlier than 2018, you are still eligible for up to $2,000 in debt reduction.
Students who study in PEI are also eligible for debt reduction.
How do students get this money?
For the Island Advantage – George Coles, any Island student will get this money automatically. They just need to enroll in a PEI school.
For the extra help for low and middle-income students, you have to apply for a student loan and we'll assess your income and let you know how much you are eligible for. While you do apply through student loans, this doesn't mean you have to get a student loan. We just use the student loan application assess your income.
For debt reduction, you just apply through our website.
Can I still get this money if I'm on income support or EI?
You will still get George Coles if you're in the Career Connect program, on EI, or receive other types of government help.
For the low and middle-income grants, students should be aware that if they get any sort of income, including income from EI or Career Connect, this will affect how much student loan and grant they can receive.
But staff will fill help them understand the potential support so students will know all the details before they start off to school.
Why the focus on PEI students? What about students that choose to study elsewhere?
We want to encourage people to stay here and study because we have great post-secondary schools.
But we know people may choose to study elsewhere. If they return to PEI after graduation, they will get more help with debt reduction, so there is money here for everyone.
Can I get this help if I have a disability?
Yes, students with disabilities can receive these supports and may be eligible for even more help. Contact Student Financial Services for more details.
How do I learn more?
Contact Student Financial Services at (902) 368-4640 or email@example.com
