About > Statement
Beyond the Horizon after 'A Thunderstorm' by J.A. O'Connor, woodland camouflage and plastic bottles vector, 2017, watercolour on paper, 49 x 66 cm
Iremonger's work uses a multidisciplinary approach, of found, created and adapted images. Disciplines include painting, drawing, digital media and neon. Based in Co. Cork, Ireland, her early work is embedded in the romantic and modernist traditions, with epic implications, see Paintings 1990-97. Later and recent work investigates the separation between humans and nature, and explores romanticisms attempt to address this.
2014-19 has seen a return to painting through the development of a collaborative project Horizons with poet Derek Mahon. The project involves a completed prose piece, which has been published as part of the collection 'Olympia and the Internet' with The Gallery Press 2017. The visual work has been developed in three parts: the first Distant Horizon involves work based on the entrance or mouth to Cork Harbour and the abstract works of Piet Mondrian. The second part Submerged Horizon is a reflection on the idea of 'lost islands' in this case Skellig Michael, the loss here is of the islands identity to corporate, popular and tourist culture, using nature camouflages and Star Wars imagery to achieve this. Part three Beyond the Horizon (see above) looks at the idea of creating fantasy landscapes based on the works of Irish nineteenth century painter James Arthur O'Connor, buried underneath nature camouflages and plastic waste vectors.
This work investigates the separation between humans and nature, and explores romanticisms attempt to address this issue. To this end, the approach has been to explore an immersive agenda through landscape painting, while placing the agency of subject matter and personal artistic signature in the background, so that visual landscape signifiers are hidden in a forest of camouflage.
Solipsism Series was exhibited at the Macroom Town Hall, Co. Cork 2013 and the Royal Hibernian Gallery, Dublin 2014, this series of works consists of digitally manipulated images of nineteenth century maritime paintings of Cork harbour printed and mounted on dibond. By removing the subject matter of the paintings, in this case the ships, offers the opportunity for a different interpretation of the paintings and collapses the subject/object duality of these kinds of the paintings.
The Travels of Eugen von Guérard shown at allerArt Austria 2011 and Sirius Arts Centre Co. Cork 2012, looked at how the work of nineteenth century Austrian artist Eugen von Guérard, who exported a specific European colonial vision of landscape to Australia, this work again explores the idea of the artwork as an ephemeral object imbued with meaning, this time colonial, and shows how our ideas about nature are a construct of specific cultural perspectives. Using found objects, photography, text and a painted mural to confound fiction and fact, past and present, exploring the nature of our understanding of images of landscape.
In the exhibition I thought I dreamed of you 2009-10 at the West Cork Arts Centre, a painted mural was included in the exhibition space and documentation of a fake painted mural, of the same image installed upside-down in the same site was also included. This documentation took the form of drawing on a photograph of the exhibition space, suggesting a slippage and dislocation of space and time, of fact and fiction.
Different materials such as video, neon, drawn and painted murals, printed media, and photographs have helped her explore the relationship between perception and meaning. The Hunting Box Party 2005-2011 was shown at the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork in 2005, the Knoll Gallery, Vienna, Austria 2010, the Knoll Gallery, Budapest, Hungary 2011 and The Armory Gallery, Sydney Olympic Stadium, Australia 2011. Using video, badges and greeting cards to explore the idea of the artwork as an ephemeral object of imbued meaning. While Landscape Unions used politics as a context within which to make artwork. Both these works are critical of an anthropocentric view of nature.
Iremonger's early work in the 1990's focused on depicting painted representations of space and light, using walls, windows and doorways to create space within the picture plane and was interested in how the illusion of space can be created on and beyond a flat surface through layers of luminous dark oil colours on canvas and board, and acrylic on paper.
The conceptualization of her practice since 1998 changed the way she approached her central concern at the time the quandary of painting with particular interest in how context shapes its meaning.
Since then Iremonger has used a multidisciplinary approach to create installations and exhibitions, exploring the way site affects the meaning of an artwork. For example in her exhibition The Top Half of the Hero at the Triskel Arts Centre, Cork in 2002, images of the gallery space and the hidden office spaces were reproduced as part of the exhibition in the gallery in the form of drawn murals, this created a dislocation of space and meaning, creating a heightened awareness of the site.

In this video learn how SnapLogic supports Snaplex management through Mesosphere DC/OS.
To learn more, visit the SnapLogic Blog.
Hi! In this video, you will learn how the SnapLogic Enterprise Integration Cloud supports container management via Mesosphere. More and more organizations use container technology to optimize their IT infrastructure and stay agile. Through container management, organizations can lower their total cost of ownership revolving around infrastructure, team collaboration, and maintenance costs, while enhancing technology standardization, availability and Continuous Integration during the development process.
To enjoy the benefits of container management and SnapLogic, users will need to have a Mesosphere server account. In this video, we will demonstrate "Adding", "Removing" and "Restarting" SnapLogic Snaplex nodes from a Snaplex.
Create a Snaplex in the Manager. Provide a "Name", "Environment", "Location" and "Sidekick" for the Snaplex. Once you create the Snaplex, go to the "Downloads" tab to get the SnapLogic configuration file. Once this is available, drop this file onto a shared directory on the Mesosphere server. We are ready to launch the Snaplex service and we move over to the Mesosphere platform.
From the "Dashboard" tab, we can see the current CPU, Memory and Disk Allocation to better understand the current state of the Mesosphere cluster. In the "Nodes" tab, we can see the current state of the cluster at the node level. After making the necessary determination around resource-related metrics, switch to the "Catalog" tab and search for "snaplogic-snaplex".
The catalog shows that SnapLogic has published the necessary artifacts to the Mesosphere Universe.
Now, let's go into the artifacts and click on "Review and Run" to continue configuring. On the "Service" tab, provide a name to the "Service" and the number of CPU cores and memory. SnapLogic recommends having the nodes run with at least 8GB of memory. We can also fill in the number of "Instances" of Snaplex nodes in this section.
Pivoting over to the "Configuration" tab and provide a path that points to the location of the SnapLogic configuration file that was dropped on the Mesosphere server. Clicking on the "Feedmaster" box will launch a Snaplex node that is a Feedmaster node. If left unchecked, a standard SnapLogic Snaplex node will be launched. Provide values for the "Network" and "Virtual IP" fields.
After validating the populated data, click on "Review & Run" and then on "Run Service". In this demo, I have created a service called "mesos-demo-snaplex-1" that is currently in "Running" state.
Once a service is in "Running" state, the SnapLogic nodes can be "Scaled", "Stopped", "Restarted" and "Deleted" as necessary directly from the Mesosphere platform.
Finally, switch to the SnapLogic Dashboard to verify if the SnapLogic node is up. In this demo, we see that the node is ready to accept and process pipeline executions.
So now you can set up your SnapLogic nodes on Mesosphere. Thank you for watching this video!
Please visit docs-snaplogic.atlassian.net to learn more about SnapLogic.

"Behavioural Economics: The Science of Changing Behaviour": A Masterclass with CEO Kelly Peters and Nate Barr, BEworks
What was the objective of your masterclass?
We had several objectives for our masterclass. We sought to share the methods of behavioural economics (BE), which is the scientific study of human behaviour, and to communicate some of the core findings in this area of research. Importantly, we also emphasized how applying insights and methodologies from BE can be used to understand and change behaviour in the real world to solve wicked problems.
Tell us about your approach. How did you structure your class and the activities?
In order to teach our class about BE, we immersed them in a real challenge and had them approach it through a behavioural lens, using the multi-phased BEworks Method. The challenge we chose was a simple – but difficult – behavioural change: How do we get people to use less water? (Click on the graphic below to dive deeper into our case study.)
To conclude our session, we zoomed out from the water use challenge and explained how we have applied this same process to diverse business and policy changes to create real change for real clients.
By working our way through the BEworks Method in the context of a real challenge, we achieved our objectives of teaching people about BE, the power of science in changing behaviour, and how these insights and methods can relate to big challenges in diverse sectors.
What are some interesting and/or unexpected learnings from the session?
One of our favourite aspects of the class was hearing people's ideas about how to apply behavioural economic principles to this problem. Despite only having a crash course, people were able to effectively generate new ideas to solve a tough problem. Our conversations after the class were just as enriching, as we talked with a number of participants who could quickly see how such methods could be applied in the context of their own challenges.
In all, we were extremely happy with how our class went. The room was packed, the participants were engaged, and the deep connections with people were plentiful.
If you were to host again next year, is there anything you would do differently?
We would welcome another opportunity to share the approach and benefits of BE in the future with new audiences, new challenges, and new case studies.
We would someday also love to co-facilitate a class with a collaborating partner from the kyu collective. For example, we could imagine a shared session with IDEO on how to align design thinking and scientific thinking in the pursuit of some of the world's most pressing problems. Perhaps a class with Sid Lee on how and why to scientifically measure the return on experience in an event.
As we grow and work together, it would be extremely valuable to share the ways that we can unite distinct methods to solve challenges together.
Part 1: SYPartners | Part 3: IDEO

Bianca Chandon T-Shirts
With the desire to meld the realms of skateboarding and high fashion, pro-skater Alex Olson launched streetwear label Bianca Chandon in 2014. The brand's moniker a reference to both Studio 54 socialite Bianca Jagger, and French race car driver and heir to the Moët et Chandon empire Olivier Chandon de Brailles, indeed, its womenswear apparel culls much of its inspiration from the attitude and revelry of 70s subculture. Apart from raucous 70's New York clubs and the fitted outfits of golden-age California skaters, Olson's label looks towards the 'anti-fashion' aesthetics of early 90's avantgardist fashion magazines and late 80's voguing culture, bringing about a unique amalgam of styles. Seasonal drops feature the label's signature typography-emblazoned streetwear in exclusive low-number runs. Tongue-in-cheek graphic and 'read-me' caps, hoodies, t-shirts, lounge pants, accessories, and skateboards conform to Olson's maxim that, in skateboarding as in fashion, style is ultimately what wins the competition.
There are currently no products available for Bianca Chandon T-Shirts.

ibiza – where else german ppl spend their summer?
Germans (and Brits) are more likely to go to Mallorca, while Italians (and French) are more likely to go to Ibiza. Statistically, though, Spain is not quite as popular with German tourists anymore as it used to be in past decades as so many people have now already been there repeatedly.
In 2015, 71% of Germans tourists went abroad for their vacation and Spain still was the #1 foreign destination (after Bavaria and the Baltic Sea coast as 29% of people stayed in Germany) — in Spain, the popukar destinations still are mostly the Balearics (Mallorca) and the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Fuerteventura).
#2 international destination in 2015 was Italy, mostly Rome, Tuscany, Umbria, and Latium.
The Turkish Riviera was #3, internationally,
Austria #4, followed by Croatia at #5.
Greece #6 with mostly Crete and Corfu at #7.
France #8, and Poland #9.
Safari in Africa, bear-watching in Canada, exploring the South American rainforest or visiting the Great Wall of China – about 0% of Germans travel to faraway destinations. Of course, not all Germans can afford such travel: it's about two-and-half times as expensive as a vacation in Germany.

Sydney University Graduate Choir
The Sydney University Graduate Choir is dedicated to high quality performances of great choral music by the established masters and by contemporary composers.
Under the leadership of our Music Director, Christopher Bowen the core of the Choir's activity is the three major concerts given annually in the Great Hall of the University.
Current Events
Past Events
Sunday 8 December 2019The final concert of the Choir's 2019 season features a rarely performed masterwork from the German Romantic period which deserves to be heard more often: Rheinberger's lyrical and very personal Star of Bethlehem, based on words by the composer's poet wife and presenting a heart-warming and joyful portrayal of the Christmas story.Great Hall
Sunday 10 November 2019Our 2019 Sydney Sings...TM concert presents Brahms' A German Requiem, a timeless work, full of comfort and hope. Not based on the traditional Latin text, this Requiem focuses rather on the living, beginning with the words 'Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted'. Brahms himself admitted that he would gladly have named the work 'A Human Requiem'. Our Guest Choir will join us once again for this concert, which will also include Brahms' Tragic Overture.Sydney Town Hall
Sunday 11 August 2019Our August concert features Puccini's youthful Messa di Gloria. This work, written as a graduation exercise, already reveals much of the mastery of his mature operatic works. It is thus a fitting work for a concert featuring the finalists of the 2019 Joan Carden Award competition. These exceptional young singers, at the beginning of their careers, will demonstrate their talents for judges and audience alike as they perform famous opera arias by the great masters.Great Hall
Sunday 5 May 2019he Choir's 2019 concert season opens with Gossec's ground-breaking Messe des mortswhich made the composer famous overnight. This inventive work was truly ahead of its time, and is said to have influenced the requiems of both Mozart and Berlioz. Who had ever thought to use a 'distant wind orchestra' in a Requiem before? Born in a small village in what is now Belgium, Gossec spent all of his successful musical career in Paris.Great Hall

If you're like me and you've jumped on the copper home wares band wagon (I'm blaming you Kmart) then you will be pretty familiar with the word copper and all the different ways you can buy it… lamps, candles, plates etc… But what happens when your body jumps on the copper band wagon too and decides that it is as essential as your inner interior designer thinks so.
Copper is a an essential trace element needed in our body in small amounts and is required for connective tissue formation, iron metabolism, normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and the regulation of gene expression. In normal amounts (10- 22μmol/L) copper is able to do all these things and is relatively harmless to the body. Its when the body creates too much copper that it becomes a problem, as too much copper in the body can be very toxic.
Copper excess can occur from a variety of different factors including copper water pipes, copper IUD's, high stress, low zinc status and the oral contraceptive pill (because of their oestrogen content- that's a story for another day). Another way copper can also present in excessive amounts is through a lack of copper-binding proteins knows as ceruloplasmin or metallothionein. The simplest way I can explain this is using a school bus analogy… if you think of copper as all the school kids needing to be picked up to go to school and ceruloplasmin as the school buses, if there is 100 school kids that need picking up and only 4 buses with 20 seats each show up, there is 20 extra kids without a ride left to roam the street or in terms of copper- travel around the body. Explaining why if there isn't enough ceruloplasmin to bind to copper (or pick up the school kids) then excess copper (or children) is left to travel around the body causing symptoms of copper toxicity to present.
So how can excess copper affect your health?
Nervous system- copper is known as the "emotional mineral" due to the influence it has enhancing all emotions experienced by a human being. Copper imbalance is associated with anxiety, depression, bipolar-disorder and schizophrenia, as well as feelings of brain fog, irritability and spaciness. People with increased copper also report feeling "numb" which can be due to excessive tissue calcium making the nervous system less sensitive.
Thyroid- as copper increases in the body so does calcium but potassium decreases causing the thyroid gland to slow down. Sluggish thyroid can cause weight gain, hair loss, low libido, cold hands and feet, and irregular menstrual cycles (to name a few).
Immunity- copper toxicity is associated with a decreased immunity due to the imbalance it creates with zinc. This imbalance can contribute to an increased susceptibility to infections such as sinus infections and Candida Albicans infections (thrush).
Reproductive system- high copper generally correlates with high oestrogen which can cause a whole host of problems such as increased risk of miscarriage and fertility, lower libido (in both men and women), amenorrhoea (abnormal absence of menstruation), ovarian cysts, dysmenorrhoea (painful menstruation) and heightened PMS symptoms.
What's next?
If any of these symptoms sound like you and you want to further investigate your copper and/or zinc levels there is a few simple tests you can do. Your health practitioner, nutritionist or GP can order a serum copper, zinc and ceruloplasmin test or you can have a hair mineral analysis to determine your nutrient status. From there, lifestyle changes can be made and nutrients can be supplemented to support the detoxification of copper from the body to return to a balance copper: zinc ratio**.
PS. I wrote this article months ago when I was in the crux of copper toxicity. And guess what! My copper levels are now normal!! It took 6 months of commitment to maintaining my healthy lifestyle and compliance with the supplements but I can 110% tell you that I actually feel amazing. 6 months ago I could barely concentrate for more than 30 minutes because my brain fog was so bad, I was irritable, I had non-existent periods since coming off the OCP and my immune system was struggling. Now, I wake everyday (well most) with energy for the day ahead, I can sit through a 10 hour day of lectures at uni and still feel alert, I have started to see signs of a period returning (again a story for another day) and overall I just FEEL good. I feel how a 21-year-old should feel, and for someone who has struggled with constant fatigue since she was 15-years-old I can tell you now it feels pretty god-damn amazing!
** Copper detoxification can be a dangerous process if done alone and not alongside a professional's guidelines. Copper "dumping" can mimic PMS symptoms and can create an even more toxic environment for your body to be in if it is not supported appropriately. Be sure to consult with your practitioner before beginning to detox.

My new favorite eyeliner and as hard as I've tried to I cannot think of a single fault or negative to say about it. Firstly it's a very highly pigmented true black, even more pigmented than MAC's 'Blacktrack' which has been my go to eyeliner for years. The formula itself is rich and buttery, goes on amazingly well, dries straight away and lasts a solid 12 hours or longer …Read more

Good morning, afternoon, evening fellow reader,
Today is going to be an interesting topic, and that is Patience or Impatience.
We can all think of a time when we were very impatient for something in our lives to come up, just like we can all think of a time when we were very patient.
Seeing how this website is aimed at Finance, Dividends, and Technology figured this would be a great time to throw them all into a blog post.
Patience, enduring through reading this, accumulating wealth, building up a passive stream of income. The things that take the most time, are typically the most important, and are some of the things that you should be very patient about, put that time into checking out the companies in your portfolio so it doesn't become a costly mistake later in life. Doing the daily 8-5 grind, to be saving that money, or putting that money in some type of investment, passive income vehicle that makes money for you, and eventually replacing the need for you having to work for it.
Impatience, usually, for the most part causes us stupid costly mistakes, we don't think of all the angles, we don't see how our impulse buy at the time will have us locked into a 29.9% APR credit card because well "it's 6 months same as cash, I'll have it taken care of by then". It's finding one of those rent to own stores, either online, or brick and mortar.
But you can get a latest edition:
Apple 15″ Macbook Pro with Touch bar
i7 Processor, 16 GB RAM, 256GB SSD
AMD Radeon Pro 555X
For only $111 per week? Surely you can afford that right? It typically says in the add that you can buy it today, and in less than a year, you could own it making those weekly payments. Well that sounds awesome right! I mean I don't have $2,399 to buy that model right now, but I can afford $111 a week.
Slow down, lets back up, and exercise a little patience here, and here is why:
First, there are 52 weeks in a year, so 52 x $111 = $5,772 so your impatience to spend $111 a week is ultimately going to cost you 140.6% markup, where as your could've just saved that $111 a week, and then bought yourself that Macbook Pro in about 21 and a 1/2 weeks. Now some do have the 6 months same as cash option, which is great if you have already planned on doing this option right from the beginning, but then again if you did that, you already thought about all the payment scenarios and you weren't being impatient about it.
Now real quick let's think of ways this money could've been working for us where we could've potentially got this Macbook Pro sooner than 21 and a 1/2 weeks. Well you could put that money into the markets, there is a risk of it dropping but that little amount really wouldn't bother the bottom line that much unless you tried to gamble with it and pick stocks without any understanding of the business behind the ticker. You could either have it in a index fund which can match the S&P 500, or have a list of stocks that you've done your homework on.
You could invest it in this list of stocks and receive a dividend payment almost every business day of the year – Dividends
NOTE: I am not a financial and/or investment advisor, I can not be held responsible for any gains/losses that you incur should you decide to follow. This is my current portfolio listed on this site. And if you use this link I may get an affiliate kick back from M1 Finance.
So next time you have that impulse buy urge, look at its cost, and then break it down into a cost that you'd be ok with paying weekly, bi-weekly, monthly. Divide the total cost by the monthly cost you'd be worth paying and you'll have how long it'll take for you to save up for it, so throw it in a savings account, or an investment account, and then when you finally get it there , look at your account and see how much money your money has made you, that you didn't need to work for, and then ask yourself "Is buying this item now even worth it? Or do I add to what I've saved so it can grow even more money for me?"
You might be surprised to find yourself saying I'm going to put this money into the account and have it grow for me. And eventually you will get to the point where the money created off the money you put in will be able to pay for that item you wanted.
Until next time…

Save and Track Your Favorite Properties
What Buyers Need to Know in the Negotiation Phase
I believe in giving my buyer clients an early education in problems that might be encountered, how they are usually resolved, and my role in the process. Negative surprises in the emotionally charged and time-sensitive home purchase process can be avoided in many cases by going through a checklist of instructions to buyers.
Making a Good Deal
Everybody wants to make a good deal, and working a motivated seller into a bargain purchase price is the goal of most buyers. My recommendation on a purchase price will be based upon a market analysis for the specific property you are interested in writing the offer.
A Really Low First Offer Can Backfire on You
A slowing market with rising inventory sometimes encourages buyers to make low-ball offers to test the sellers' motivation. In some markets, it's not that unusual, and sellers simply come back with a high counter offer to draw the buyer up to a reasonable price. However, sometimes a very low offer can offend them.
Offer a Comparative Market Analysis
When I get the question, "What price should I offer for this home?", you can rest assured that my recommendation is based upon a comprehensive market analysis of similar recently sold properties in that area. This will most likely yield a range and you can then choose an offering price based on accurate market statistics.
Help You Locate Resources
There are many partners involved in the purchase of a home. I will provide you with a list of competent professional to answer your questions. This can include inspectors, lawyers, appraisers, engineers, etc.
Buyer Representation Agreement
I want to help you find the home of their dreams, and in doing so, I will devote the time necessary to turn over every rock to locate it. So that you understand my fiduciary duties, I always have a Buyer Representation Agreement with my buyers. I take my responsibilities to you very seriously.
Don't Buy That New Furniture Until After Closing
With many of today's buyers purchasing homes at the top end of what they can afford, there isn't any room left in their loan qualification score. Deals have been lost days before closing because the lender did a final credit check and found several thousand dollars of new furniture had just been purchased on a credit card. Talk to your lender or myself before you make any significant credit changes or purchases in this critical pre-closing phase.
Stuff Happens - Don't End Up Temporarily Homeless
There are so many variables involved in a closing that it's not that unusual for there to be last-minute delays that move a closing a few days farther out. Many times this is due to loan documents, as the lender wants to see all appraisal, survey, title and other documents first. If any of these are delayed, then the closing might be later than expected. As the contract moves along, I will stay in close communication with all of the parties involved, including you. If necessary, you may need to have a contingency plan should a delay occur.

I am getting old! I see no point in Facebook and the random invitations to join LinkedIn simply annoy me; if I want to contact a friend I will phone them or email them (of course I am not so old that I would write a letter). My email address is in the public domain and my friends, colleagues or previous acquaintances can contact me if they want to and I can do the same with them. Yet this year at BEVA congress while others were twittering, I tweeted - so what changed?
My Twitter 'epiphany' came when a colleague, Dr Liz Mossop (@mossposs), at the University of Nottingham asked me to run a revision session for our final year students about to sit finals using Twitter. She organised everything and got students to follow the session in the school using the #vetfinals hash-tag. This allows users to search for the bits of twitter they are looking for. I posed questions around clinical scenarios and the students answered - I had done some simple preparation so had some links to images, papers etc ready to cut and paste into my answers as appropriate using bitmarks (bitly.com). The session turned into a very fluid and rapid discussion and enabled full interaction. It was novel, it was fun and could be undertaken with a nice bottle of red wine. We all needed to be aware that anyone could watch, listen and even contribute to our discussion, especially if they searched for the #vetfinals hash-tag, but @mossposs had created some simple rules in advance and 'what-if's' to ensure we all behaved professionally. There are other systems that are less open (such as Yammer) that I might use for more controversial discussions, or to allow students to interact in a safer environment, but Twitter worked well, without any difficult questions.
Understanding how I could use Twitter for teaching made me more interested. I started following people and followed a series of tweets from an educational conference attended by @mossposs and others. Their short messages let me know what was being discussed, sometimes they included links to further information, and I gained enormously from their tweets. I thought this would be useful at #BEVA2012 and convinced our overworked Chief Executive to place a large screen in the registration area to follow the tweets. I had hoped it would help delegates decide which session to attend, or even which session they would want to watch via the Pfizer Encore Room, or online after the conference.
One of my most memorable sessions at congress was by Tony Pease, who described how to obtain a CSF sample from the cervical region in the standing horse. This session was great because it will turn a complicated procedure requiring lots of luck, and a little skill, into a practical procedure that can be done in the field. Attendance was good, but I tweeted about it at the time, and after the meeting because it was so novel and exciting, and I hoped people who missed it would want to watch it again. In the #firingdebate, I had hoped that it would offer an opportunity for others to comment on what was being discussed, almost before the Q&A session. It might be useful to guide the chair to discuss particular sessions, however in the end it was just me and one other person and we shared similar views, so provided little benefit this year.
In the end I was surprising how few people contributed to the discussion on Twitter considering @BEVA_news has 460 followers. It did not surprise one users who tweeted 'not really a surprise not many twitterers, most of them think an iPad is a type of bandage used to protect the orbit'. Obviously we have no idea who has seen the messages, and that is the one limitation of twitter. I know my 'followers' will see my comments, and we had students, vets and exhibitors commenting using the #BEVA2012 hashtag, so it did generate some discussion, just less than I would have hoped.
I will continue to promote this tool for developing engagement with congress (#BEVA2013). I hope it will promote BEVA to the next generation of veterinary surgeons and encourage them to join and attend. I believe it will increase my own profile within the profession (it has already generated one referral the day after congress). Members might want to consider using it to generate excitement around your latest recruit, the new ultrasound you purchased at #BEVA2012 from @BCFtechnology, or any special promotions to your clients. We can use conference tweeting for more than communication between professionals; it provides us with an opportunity to demonstrate that we are aware and understand the latest discoveries to our clients, to promote ourselves and our profession as cutting edge, rather than out-of-touch. Best of all, it is free and being only 140 characters, its quick to read and (with practice) quick to write.
So yes, I have been converted (in some ways) to the use of Social media; not to talk about myself and my hangovers at congress, but to share ideas and interests, pose questions and highlight relevant information that informs my students, referring vets and their clients about the latest treatments and diagnosis. If you are interested you can follow any of the discussions mentioned here by searching for the relevant hashtags to see how Twitter can be used. Follow @BEVA_news to keep up to date with the important aspects of the equine industry. If you want to know more about tweeting at conferences, including the basics of using Twitter then @mossposs has a great article that can be viewed using the following link http://j.mp/V8gnY2. Please join the debate in #BEVA2013.

The youth of North Korea are more likely to be critical of the country's political system than older generations and frequently crack jokes about the failings of the Kim Jong Un regime, despite the threat of arrest, according to sources.
Pyongyang recently responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's increasingly hawkish policy towards North Korea by saying that the Kim regime "will not shy away from the opportunity to defend socialism," according to a statement in the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
But sources told RFA's Korean Service that the country's youth regularly mock the failings of the political system, which they believe is socialist purely in name, referring to how "China alone is a socialist country with its own characteristics, while ours is a capitalist country with North Korean characteristics."
"The younger generation today is different from the older generation, which dared not make critical remarks about the North Korean system," said a resident of Pyongyang who spoke to RFA under condition of anonymity while traveling in China.
"They are more open-minded and critical than the older generation. When they meet up, these young people tend not to hesitate to criticize their supreme leader Kim Jong Un and the [ruling] Workers' Party."
North Koreans who make disparaging statements about the government are subject to severe punishment at the hands of the authorities. Earlier this month, sources told RFA that seven railroad workers heard criticizing a recent missile test by the regime were arrested by authorities in Jagang province at the end of March.
But according to the source, not only are younger North Koreans unafraid of mocking the government, but they go out of their way to retaliate against anyone who informs the authorities about the things they say.
"If they get into trouble because their secret conversations were leaked by some whistleblower [to the authorities], they will chase him or her down and get their revenge in one way or another," he said.
When asked why the youth had become so critical of North Korea's political system, the source told RFA that there is a prevailing sentiment among them that life under the regime is a hypocrisy.
"Although the central government keeps praising the lack of an income gap as a merit of socialism, while saying that a large gap between the rich and poor is why the capitalist system doesn't work, they don't believe it," he said.
"Instead, they point out that North Korea has become just as capitalist, with a growing divide between the haves and have-nots."
A second source in North Pyongan province, near the border with China, told RFA that some young people are showing their dissatisfaction with the Kim regime by altering the lyrics of patriotic songs meant to express admiration of the North Korean leader.
"There is a song praising Kim Jong Un's walk, called 'ChokChokChok,' and they sometimes sing the song by changing the lyrics 'Kim Daejang (General Kim)' to 'Kim Ttungbo (Fatty Kim)," said the source, who also asked not to be named.
A former resident of Pyongyang who has since defected to South Korea surnamed Lee told RFA that few North Koreans understand the concept of socialism and capitalism, and what differentiates the two political systems.
"But these young people, who can be called part of the 'jangmadang' (private markets) generation, seem to be very critical of the ever-widening gap between rich and poor, and have to vent their dissatisfaction because they have better access to information about the outside world."
Authorities have long tried to block various forms of information from entering North Korea in an attempt to keep unwanted foreign influences from seeping into the isolated nation.
Leader Kim Jong Un is believed to be particularly sensitive about news of the outside world getting into the North because of its ability to undermine his regime's propaganda efforts and threaten his support base—made up largely of the country's elite.
Reported by Junho Kim for RFA's Korean Service. Translated by Changsop Pyon. Written in English by Joshua Lipes.

A bag can provide a pop of color to an (almost) perfect outfit, hold all of your essentials (and not-so essentials…but hey better to be prepared right?), and can really just make a girl feel good. I knew when I opened my new Oliver Bilou "Amy" bag, it would quickly become not just a part of my collection, but one of my favorites.

Andrew Gaze says losing Tom Wilson to AFL is a possibility
Sydney Kings coach Andrew Gaze has admitted the club and the NBL are at risk of losing Tom Wilson to AFL.
The Daily Telegraph reported earlier this week Wilson's agent Daniel Moldovan denied the young talent was interested in crossing codes.
The 21-year-old guard has struggled for game time on the back of the Kings having a superstar back-court including the likes of Jerome Randle and Kevin Lisch.
It's not the first time there's been reports of a possible switch after Wilson admitted he had previously trained at the Geelong Football Club's facilities in recent times.
Gaze says it's a possibility due to the lack of time on court Wilson is getting.
"Of course, I think you try to nurture these kids along and it's hard," Gaze said.
"Tom's in a situation where he hasn't seen a lot of playing time, we've got a high quality player and feel he's a potential star of our league.
"He's only 20 years of age and he's still got a lot of development to do, make no mistake he's good enough to play and should be playing more minutes than what he is right now.
"It's just you look at the players ahead of him and who doesn't play if he plays, when you've got guys like Kevin Lisch, Jerome Randle and Kyle Adnam's come on and been really good, he's got some people ahead of him that's made it tough for him to get into the rotation.
"He was an outstanding junior footballer, he chose basketball, he's been to the Institute of Sport, he's represented Australia at the junior level and any wonder you'd think these AFL clubs would be chasing him.
"We're hopeful he sees a future in basketball and with the Sydney Kings."
Wilson is only averaging two minutes across six appearances this season.

Ever since I was a kid, people made sure I knew what a Potato Man I was. Some of them didn't like me, others I didn't want to like me. However, I always loved a proper sport. Coming to think of it, there is one young lad I never can forget, he's Andy Robertson. Today, he is a star and celebrated across lands, especially around Merseyside. There was a time when not many people knew him. He was just a little bloke, with big dreams.
This is a story of how Andy Robertson achieved his dreams. I can't claim the credit for the success he has had, because that is down to his hard work. I also can not deny that I did my best to ensure he never felt unmotivated. He always had the drive to improve and I just helped him with the support he needed.
People always get excited about young players who come through into the first team. Andy had to literally come a long way to make it at Anfield. He came all the way from the countryside in Scotland to London, before ending up in Liverpool. His hard work never once being stymied. He never stopped playing and running, and in doing that has blown away one too many people.
Now that we know how much he has achieved, it is easy to ignore all the hard work he has done. But being Potato-Man, I remember it all clearly. All these years have been unable to cloud my memory of the lad. A friend of mine took some pictures all those years ago, and I feel it is the right time to share it.
Don't mistake this as cheap praise. As the Potato Man, I have been blessed with being close to football players for a long time. I have seen people like Kante train from a very young age, even when people hadn't heard of him. Andy fits in like a sock amongst all of the professional footballers.
Potato-Man will be there to watch Andy Robertson take on Bayern at Anfield, join him with his biggest fan.
I still meet the boy sometimes, it just feels weird to call him a boy now anyway. But this is a boy who is fulfilling all his potential, and there's nothing more beautiful than watching these boys succeed. If you want to read more stories from my times with Football players, name drop them in the comments and I'll tell you all about it.

Recently I have been LOVING podcasts. When I'm driving, when I'm on the train, even when I'm just giving the house a clean. Whenever I get the time, I love sticking on a podcast. I don't know what it is but there's just something so warming at having your favourite podcasters chatting away to you about the topics of their choice. Whether it's a business podcast, a fashion podcast or just talking about their week- its comforting… it feels like you're having a conversation with a friend.
And with the rise of podcast popularity, there are soooo many out there to choose from. So I thought that I would put together a little post to tell you which ones you really should be listening to!
Keeping it Candid
Let's start off with the one that EVERYONE is talking about- and if you haven't heard of it then have you been living under a rock? It's keeping it candid by Sophie Milner and Millie Cotten. Two blogging BABES in the blogosphere and two girls who seem to be crushing life. In their (sort of weekly) podcast, they talk about their week, what's happening in the blogosphere, things in the news and anything in between. Being described as a 'pop culture podcast', Sophie and Millie cover such a range of topics that honestly make me laugh, and occasionally cry. Their ease of conversation just shows how comfortable around eachother they are, which honestly makes you feel like you're joining in with a chat with your gals.
Take Fl1ght Podcast
My next favourite is the amazing Take Fl1ght podcast by Mark Whittle. In these episodes MArk talks to some inspirational and successful people in their industry in order to extract exactly what it is they do/ did to get them where they are now. They talk about success, about hard work and about what motivated them to get where they wanted to be. My favourite episode was with Lydia Millen- she is such an inspiration and anyone who is thinking about a career in this industry should definitely give it a listen. I love how motivated and inspired every one of Mark's episodes makes me feel!
At Home With
Another girl power duo- at home with… is the baby of Anna Newton and Lilly Pebbles. Their ease behind the mic and how comfortable they are around eachother really highlights their friendship, and again makes it feel like you're having a good old chin-wag with your pals. In these episodes (we are now on series 2) they visit inspiring people's homes, and have a chat. They talk about their home, give you a little description, they talk abotu their jobs, their family and life in general. If you are looking for an easy listen, this is the podcast for you.
Girl Vacuum
This podcast is the baby of Emily and Emily, such a duo! These girls are also really good friends, which shows in the ease i=of conversation and how comfortable they are around eachother. Emily and Emily discuss topics from sex robots to lip fillers- and is such an easy going listen! I love just sitting down and hearing them chat about the latest news they have for us, it literally feels like I am having a catch up with old friends.
I am always on the hunt for a new podcast to get stuck into, so please do let me know what podcasts you have been loving recently!

During Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Zonta Club of Denver awarded $32,700 in grants to the following community organizations:
The Gathering Place (TGP) is Denver's only daytime drop-in center for women, children, and transgender individuals who are experiencing homelessness or poverty. Zonta's $9,000 grant supported the replacement of aging household-grade washers and dryers with commercial-grade machines. Over 480 loads of laundry were previously done every month, but with this new equipment, the number of laundry appointments available will increase dramatically: "our members can do as much as three times the laundry they did in the old machines," said Mendy Evans, Grants Manager for TGP. "This helps on practical levels, like increasing members' basic hygiene, wellness, and success with finding and keeping jobs. It also helps on subtle levels, like helping members feel better and increasing their self-respect."
Founded in 1992, The Haven was one of the first programs in Colorado to accept infants into residence while their mothers received substance abuse treatment, keeping children out of the foster care system. The Haven operates two residential facilities on the Fort Logan campus in Denver, CO, and provides evidence-based, gender-specific programming. The purpose of this $7,000 grant is to improve the health and wellness of Haven clients by helping to fund a smoking cessation program that will be integrated into the substance abuse treatment program. Clients will also be encouraged to participate with Colorado Quit Line. The objective is to offer 100% of clients smoking cessation support and counseling.
Women Veterans of Colorado (WVOC) is an all volunteer, non-membership organization whose vision is to have all women veterans in Colorado realize their full potential. WVOC's mission focuses on educating and inspiring military women veterans. The purpose of Zonta's $1,700 grant is to redecorate and supply (with bedding, lamps, etc.) three rooms located at the Colorado Branch Volunteers of America's Brandon Center. an emergency women's shelter with dedicated beds/rooms for homeless and at-risk women veterans.
Family Tree helps people overcome child abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness to become safe, strong, and self-reliant. It provides emergency shelter and services to survivors of domestic violence and their children. The $10,000 grant from Zonta will be support the on-site health clinic and help survivors pay for prescription drugs for themselves and their children.
During Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Zonta Club of Denver awarded $35,000 in grants to the following community organizations:
The Center for Spirituality at Work (The Center) is an educational, community-based nonprofit organization. Its mission is to unite diverse people for spiritual transformation and social justice. Its primary strategy for effecting change puts the emphasis on mutually transformative relationships that engage people on the margins together with people of privilege in a shared project. The club gave a grant of $10,000 to The Center's Making Choices program. Women in prison and during re-entry are among the most neglected members of our society. Making Choices is a mentoring program that fosters the development of decision-making and life skills. Volunteer mentors are business and professional women who receive training and ongoing support in their important coaching role with women who are incarcerated or recently released. Beyond basic decision-making skills, the Making Choices program encourages personal responsibility, stronger families, social engagement and leadership development. Mentors and former offenders work together on public education programs and advocacy efforts. The impact of Making Choices is demonstrated in the 92% of graduates who have re-entered the community successfully, as gainfully employed and contributing members of society.
Hands of The Carpenter (Hands) is a faith-based nonprofit that serves single mothers and widows in need by providing automobile repair and maintenance in an effort to relieve the enormous financial burden and related distress that automobile repair puts on this population and their opportunities for economic self-sufficiency. For each woman Hands serves, the need for automobile repair is immediate. Without it, she can lose her job. Without a job, she can lose her home. And suddenly, a seemingly simple repair can lead to homelessness. The Zonta Club of Denver grant of $6,000 will help at least one woman to avoid that downward spiral.
Hands operates alongside Hands Automotive in a social enterprise environment to provide sustainability. Hands Automotive is a full-service repair facility—open to the public—that uses all of the resources it generates to further support the women Hands serves.
Domestic Violence Initiative (DVI) is dedicated to the survival and safety of Colorado's people with disabilities and their children who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, caregiver abuse, elder abuse and stalking. It provides advocacy, case management, direct services, information and referrals, support, safety planning, and other safety-related services. Zonta awarded a $10,000 grant to DVI.
DVI was founded in 1985 by the late Laura Hershey and Executive Director Sharon Hickman. Ms. Hickman identified women with disabilities as a group of people that had no visibility or support in the community. She found that the number one concern for these women was their vulnerability to violence.
The Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance (COVA) provides resources and support in the Denver area to victims of human trafficking. COVA has a demonstrated history of providing services for a broad range of human trafficking victims. Due to the complexity and continuously changing needs of the victims, COVA either provides primary case management or coordinated case management with other programs, depending on what is best for the individual client. Its program provides case management services for victims of trafficking - domestic and international victims; adults and minors; sex and labor trafficking.

Name: Natalie Blyth
Course: A-Level Biology, Dance, English, AS Level Chemistry and Law
Previous school: Academy 360
Natalie described her time at Sunderland College as rewarding, challenging and supportive. She is now studying cellular and molecular biology at Newcastle University.
She said:
"I decided to study at Sunderland College because it had a good reputation and the staff were friendly and supportive during the open days that I attended.
I liked the close knit community feel within the College. The staff were always happy to help, and constantly motivated and supported you.
The best thing about the course was the variety of options I had in A-Levels, which really worked for me as I could mix and match subjects and didn't have to commit to one subject of study. I also studied EPQ, which really benefited my transition to university: It allowed me to develop my confidence in writing academic reports and referencing. I also was able to spend time studying a specific topic that I was really interested in!"
