The agreement is for Vestas to advise Methanex on building wind projects around its global facilities, specifically the Magallanes region of southern Chile.
In 2010, Methanex installed three Vestas V-52 turbines to help power its plant in Cabo Negro, in Magallanes.
Methanex general manager Paul Schiodz said: "The success of our wind energy farm in Magallanes demonstrates the role that wind energy can play in the regional energy matrix.
"The agreement with Vestas should contribute to establish a robust regulatory framework to incentivise wind energy in the region.
With natural gas prices expected to increase there has been speculation Methanex would look to increase its presence in the wind sector.
Speaking to Windpower Monthly last year, Jorge Michela, senior project engineer at Methanex, said that rising gas prices were a crucial factor in the company's switch to wind.
"That was the main trigger," he says. "If there was no natural gas problem it would have been very difficult for Methanex to be interested."

Lion Costume (ON SALE!) // Darius' Costume
Halloween was so much fun. I remember being pregnant months ago & pinning photos on Pinterest deciding what we were going to be for our first Halloween & everyone would think I was crazy for thinking of costumes that far in advance. Time is really going by so quickly though & being prepared puts me at ease! I'm still surprised that Thanksgiving is almost here & he is already 5 months!
The day of Halloween I had it all planned in my head, exactly how the evening was going to go BUT Darius decided to sleep. I did my hair so all I had to do was my make-up when he woke up. About 30 minutes before the sun was going down he woke up. I put on my make-up in 15 minutes & I was so glad the timing was perfect before it got dark. These costumes where honestly so comfortable! Darius loved his costume & we kept saying he knows exactly what he is. We went to a parade for the night, walked the streets, ordered some pizza, & people watched. I love when plans just flow & it goes just how it should.

July Big Cat Safari Photography Competition
Here are Villiers and Lances' winners for July Big Cat Photo Safari friendly competition with the prize sponsored by Rhino Industries Africa.
During July's #BigCatPhotoSafari in the Sabi Sands game reserve, Photographic Guides Lance and Villiers were donated a lens / camera protective hard case by Rhino Industries Africa, to give away to one of our clients on the trip.
Rhino industries Africa sells a number of these beautifully manufactured cases which are lightweight, waterproof (IP67) and injection moulded. They can hold camera gear of any size. From multiple large lenses all the way down to a single flash. The inside comes with removable foam which can be cut to the equipment's exact dimensions to hold it snug to stop and wear and tear during travel and storage.
The case donated to us was a RI-360 model, perfect for carrying a body with a 100-400 or 70-200 sized lens attached, as well as a second lens or body on the side.
To make the giveaway as fair as possible, together with our guests, we decided to run a mini competition over the 8 nights. The rules were simple… Hand in one final image at the end of the trip, that you think is a winner! The images needed to be taken on this At Close Quarters #BigCatPhotoSafari and would be judged by Lance and Villiers on all aspects of photography… Exposure, technique, clean backgrounds, composition and capturing the viewers interest.
The smiles on the guests faces as competition details were finalized said it all. A spark was lit, friendly banter began between those who traveled together, and even some distant murmurs of sabotage.
The competition couldn't have come at a better time. As you all know, At Close Quarters has partnered up with Indlovu River Lodge to run a photographic competition via their website (If you haven't entered yet, this month is your last chance. Enter at www.irl.co.za). We always mention this competition, its categories and show some motivational images to our guests to inspire them to try new techniques while they are with us. With this extra ammunition and excitement the game drives began.
Part of Lance and Villiers' job whilst on drive is not only getting guests into the best position possible and helping them with their camera settings, but also to remind them about different techniques in the moment. Lance and Villiers' knowledge of animal behavior and photographic techniques is priceless when it comes to knowing what shot is coming before the animal is even in position. Reminding people to shoot wider, slow shutter pan or try different lighting techniques just to name a few.
Lance- "What a beautiful image this is! Being in the sighting I remember telling everyone to "shoot the lions with as much black background as possible" and Roland clearly listened to this. The black from the burnt grass matched with the dark lips of the lion are the interest in this image for me. I love the composition and the use of negative space works incredible well here. The exposure is bang on and the life in the lions eyes capture you as the viewer and don't let go. Amazing image, well done!"
Villiers – "Roland's lion photo is pure quality. Stunning colours, a beautiful shallow depth of field and that dark background makes for an image that keeps drawing you back for another look…"
Lance – "The moment we were all hoping for! A beautiful capture of Hosana when he entered that amazing golden light. Great composition "looking into the photo" making you wonder what it is he has seen. Exposure bang on. Great shot!"
Villiers – "I remember Colin's words as he photographed Hosana that morning: "I just want him to walk into that sunlight!" Well, Colin – you took a stunning golden-light leopard photo that deserves to hang on a wall, at least as an A0 print!"
Lance – "A fantastic shot of a subject that is not often seen in the Lowveld. Great control of what is a tricky exposure and lovely framing. I love the focus the birds demand with their glare. Well done!"
Villiers – "It's not every day that you get to photograph a barn owl, especially during the daytime. But to capture two of these stunning raptors sitting together before sunset is remarkable!"
Some other notable entries!

Design and Technology Subject Leader is Mrs Rhodes
In Design and Technology, children acquire and apply knowledge and understanding of materials and components, mechanisms and control systems, structures, existing products, quality and health and safety.
The skills learned in Design and Technology also help with learning across the curriculum. Their knowledge about the properties of materials helps in science and the practice of measuring accurately helps in maths. These skills help in IT through the children's use of computer control and, naturally, in art and design.
Design and Technology education helps develop children's skills and knowledge in design, materials, structures, mechanisms and electrical control. They are encouraged to be creative and innovative, and are actively encouraged to think about the whole process and apply skills and techniques to produce other products .
There are three core activities children engage with in Design and Technology:
These three activities are combined in sequence to create a Design and Technology project.

Christmas a symbol of hope, love
Abby Hall
Contributing Writer
I've been a Peanuts fan from as far back as I can remember.
The good-humored, comic strip and video specials were always a favorite in my family. They particularly stood out to me personally. My all-time favorite is, of course, "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
For anyone who has ever seen the film, you know that the climax of the show is when Charlie cries out in frustration for someone to please tell him the meaning of Christmas. His ever-faithful friend, Linus, steps up to the task and begins to quote the Christmas story from the Bible, found in the gospel of Luke.
I've seen the film countless times, and read the passage in Luke even more, and yet, hearing the message from Luke always causes me to be silent and reflect. It is something that stops me in my tracks and fills me with overwhelming emotion.
Why is it so powerful to me? The reasons are too many to name in a short time, but to state it simply and briefly, it is because heaven met earth that night. A child changed the course of history for all of mankind.
Every year, I am aware that many aspects of celebrating Christmas are more about fun and tradition than anything else. This certainly doesn't stop me from taking part in them, and it doesn't negate their meaningfulness.
Many of them help us to find enjoyment and community with our family and friends. Still, they are really just the extras of Christmas, like the decorations on the tree, or the sprinkles on the cookies.
The core of Christmas, for many of us, is celebrating something much more significant. We know that the actual day of the birth of Jesus was likely in the summer, and we know that he was likely around 2 years old when the magi finally found him. And yet, we wrap all of these pieces together in a neat little December package. When we celebrate is not the critical point, but rather what we celebrate.
In my mind, it makes sense to do it this way, because December is a month of celebration and joy for so many people. According to the lyrics of the old song, "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" So, why not choose this time when the whole world celebrates for various reasons, to celebrate our faith? Or rather, the very reason for our faith!
The birth of Jesus is significant to the world because of the hope that came with him. How we package the story is less of an issue than whether or not we recognize and appreciate the story for all that it is.
My favorite Christmas song is "O' Holy Night," and my favorite line of the song is "Long lay the world in sin and error pining, till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth." What an impactful line. This is the reason for our celebration of faith in regards to the birth of the Christ.
The world was ever the same. The song implies that the worth of man was recognized when the love of God sent the Christ to us. His birth testified of a loving God who wants to give hope to every one of us.
May that thought make your Christmas especially celebratory and bright. Merry Christmas!

A field study with 43 global R&D teams from a top five Fortune 500 petroleum firm found that spontaneous communication played a pivotal role in moderating the level of interpersonal and task conflict in distributed virtual teams, through stronger shared identity and shared context.
So how can we encourage spontaneous communication, shared identity and shared context in our own virtual teams?
Here are 10 practical, proven tips to pick from that will freshen up our online interactions, bind people together and keep innovation flowing:
- Keep going back to your virtual team's shared and distributed goal – why the virtual team has been set up to collaborate across geographies and how success depends on each other (and if it doesn't, don't try to work as a team)
- Early on encourage virtual team members to describe their backgrounds, the value they hope to add to the group, the way they prefer to work and to give a quick video tour of their workspace. Repeat this when anyone new joins the team
- Take five minutes at the beginning of conference calls for everyone to share a recent professional success or some personal news
- Create a positively loaded virtual team nickname
- Rotate virtual meeting times every week to make sure one member is not always waking up early for meetings and that another is not going home too late
- Acknowledge individual employee achievements with weekly 'shout outs'
- Celebrate virtual team success with a virtual reward ceremony. E.g. send a small present to all team members and get everyone to open it at the same time during a video call
- Regularly check in on levels of motivation: for example if using WebEx, use an image of a 'virtual thermometer' for people to put their pointers against how motivated they feel, or use pulse tools such as 15Five
- To lessen feelings of isolation and develop real relationships through achieving results together, create smaller interdependent tasks and partner people up to achieve a specific goal
- Strengthen peer-to-peer relationships by everyday chat via Whatsapp groups, skype chat or your online collaboration platform – covering life as well as work. Even better, encourage team members to schedule regular 10 minute informal 'virtual coffees' with webcams on
And before we fall into the trap of thinking a 'virtual coffee' sounds like a lovely idea, but I haven't got time – remember the research above and think of it as 10 minutes invested now to save hours of hassle dealing with conflict later down the line.

Denmark's Wood Wood will open an 5,300 sq ft store at 33-35 Brewer Street in London's Soho this August.
It will join recent additions to the Soho area such as Our Legacy, Folk, The Collection and Ace & Tate.
Danish brand Samsøe & Samsøe is also launching its first bricks-and-mortar store in the UK this summer, on Beak Street in London's Carnaby.
Founded in 2002, Wood Wood currently operates four stores in its native Denmark and two in Berlin, Germany, as well as a space at Copenhagen Airport.
Its collections cover menswear, womenswear and kidswear.
Mirroring its current stores, the London location will sell the Wood Wood own brand as well as several other labels, including Nike, Adidas, Undercover, Neighbourhood, Cav Empt and Wacko Maria.
Creative studio Spacon & X, which has worked with the brand on previous stores, will design the space.
Wood Wood's current stockists include Liberty London, End and Goodhood in the UK.
It launched a sales showroom in London in 2014 and presented collections as part of London Fashion Week Men's for three seasons.
Karl Oskar-Olsen, the brand's creative director, said: "The opening of the Wood Wood London store in Soho will define us as brand in the next period of our journey, and I'm looking forward to this adventure with great anticipation and humbleness."
Addy Williams, senior retail portfolio manager at landlord Shaftesbury, said: "Wood Wood is renowned for contemporary streetwear, mixing its own revered label with a cool mix of sought-after urban fashion brands. They are the perfect fit to Brewer Street and an important addition to Shaftesbury's growing portfolio of cutting-edge fashion brands in Soho."

Folan drops City in mire
Man City 0 Wigan 1
A LATE-SEASON training break in the sunshine of Dubai was supposed to galvanise Manchester City for a surge away from the foot of the table and further progress in the FA Cup, but instead they looked locked into deckchair mode as Wigan Athletic took the opportunity to ease their own relegation fears.
Wigan's match-winner Caleb Folan had scored against City for Chesterfield earlier this season, but the embarrassment of going out of the League Cup to lower-league opposition will pale into nothing compared with surrendering their Premiership status.
And after a fourth successive league defeat and yet another scoreless effort at an increasingly disenchanted City of Manchester stadium, that is an increasing threat, with Wigan the latest club to clamber above them thanks to Folan's…

CLTC meets with JGPO reps
by Nick Delgado
Guam - Representatives from the Joint Guam Program Office, including Executive Director David Bice, made the rounds today at several Government of Guam agencies including the Ancestral Lands Commission, the Department of Land Management, and the Chamorro Land Trust Commission.
Chamorro Land Trust Commission Administrator Jess Garcia says the visits were courtesy calls, an opportunity for the officials to introduce themselves and lay out the flow of communication that will take place between the agencies and the military.
"All information that's going to come out of the Chamorro Land Trust regarding Chamorro Land Trust interests will be released by Bureau of Statistics and Plans - Tony Lamorena will be the one to release all information on government issues. And that's pretty much it that we discussed," Garcia said.

PrEpArInG yOuR ChiLd FoR ScHOol
(This article is in response to an ABC Radio talk I did on the topic of how to prepare ones children for school. )
I woke up this morning thinking, " it is not how one starts a race that counts, but how one finishes."
Next week, the new school Term starts and many of us are busy, purchasing school resources.
We want our children to start school eager to learn and make new friends. That first week we will be asking our children how school was.
But after the novelty has worn off so may their enthusiasm and motivation.
My thoughts are, lets not just prepare our kids for a great start at school, but lets set up a routine that encourages time management, self discipline and age appropriate independence that will last the whole year through.
It will require more work at the beginning to set the structure , but, in the long run, it will make life smoother. Hopefully!
Out of my 8 children, 5 have left school. I look back on those 20 years of school life with my older children and thank God we survived. Most of my concerns for them, was having enough food, uniforms and money for excursions. Trying to make a happy home when facing issues like divorce, step parenting, anger,isolation and mortgage repayments was very hard.
It was a major accomplishment if I got to sit down, listen to children read, test them on their spelling, be parent help or attend assemblies!
School was the one constant for my children. Good teachers and friends made their life happier. Despite our circumstances they received good reports, graduated school and found jobs. Whew!
Yet I still have 3 children left . One each at High School, Year 3 and Pre Primary.
My life is still very busy but not as shattered as it was before, so I am able to ponder about preparing my children for a successful year ahead.
My children's learning will overflow from to home life to school, to community, to jobs and back to home. Therefore I realise that the values and beliefs we live at home will help or hinder my children's future.
As a parent, I ask myself, "What am I teaching my children?"
I hope I am teaching them:
* manners
* respect for themselves and others
* respect for their property and belongings
* organisation
* healthy work ethic
* communication
* perseverance
I would like them to feel:
* strong
* accepted
* capable
* loved
I want them to know:
* they are good at something
*they can set goals and achieve them
*they can improve themselves and their skills
*to never give up
So, how am I going to reinforce the desired values and beliefs that will help my children succeed? I will sit down with them and we will:
1. List their goals
2. Map out their choices
3. Prepare a routine
4. Design rewards and consequences
5. Give them free time to create
6. Ensure they get adequate, sleep, exercise and healthy food
What will my children's success require from me?
1. Time to listen and communicate
2. Money for resources and rewards
3. Strength and endurance to supervise and be consistent
4. Patience for us all to try and try again
5. Self discipline to do less for them but encourage them to empower themselves.
6. Speak calm and firm
7. Hugs and "I love yous "
What will I do to equip myself for this parenting job?
1. Exercise
2. Eat healthy
3. Rest and recuperate
4. Have family breaks
5. Laugh
6. Create
7. Forgive myself
As I read the above lists I almost exhaust myself thinking about how to do it all. So I pray every day and ask for Gods help in everything I do. He gives me wisdom and power and strength to carry on.
Life is our school. We never stop learning. I have learned so much about myself by being a parent. It has been my hardest job yet my most fulfilling.
If we have children...we are called to be good Mothers.

Members of the Southampton Town Board plan to meet with Poxabogue Golf Center manager Ed Wankel this week to discuss the future of the Fairway Restaurant at the Sagaponack property.
According to Southampton Town Councilman Chris Nuzzi, the meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 25, is a last-ditch effort by the board to convince Mr. Wankel to find a way to work out a new contract with the Fairway's longtime owner, Dan Murray, that would keep the tiny cafe operating much as it has for the last 20 years.
Mr. Nuzzi said that the future of Mr. Wankel's own management contract, which is up in three years, will not be far from the minds of the Town Board members when they meet with him in the closed-door executive session.
"There will be any number of things board members will consider when the possibility of extending his contract comes up. This will be one—needless to say, an important one," Mr. Nuzzi said. "I think our message has been clear: The towns of Southampton and East Hampton are content with things as they are now, and we're looking to work with Long Island Golf Management to see that they stay that way. I think this is a last opportunity to see if he is willing to work with us."
Mr. Wankel's company, Long Island Golf Management, is in the second year of a five-year contract to manage the Poxabogue property. When the contract was inked in 2007, the towns turned over control of the restaurant and food vending lease to the management company, with the stipulation that Mr. Murray be given the right of first refusal on the lease when it expired. Mr. Murray's current lease, which he signed with the town in 2007, expires on March 31.
Mr. Murray, who has run the Fairway since 1991, refused to sign a lease agreement Mr. Wankel offered him in October, saying it imposed too many requirements and controls on his business—such as requiring that the cafe be open for dinner—to be financially feasible. Mr. Wankel has since agreed to lease the cafe space to the owner of Love Lane Cafe in Mattituck.
Mr. Murray said that if the last-ditch efforts by the Town Board to keep the Fairway in place fail, this coming Sunday will be his last day of business and he will be out of the restaurant space by April 1.

4 Reasons Your Child May Need a Existence Coach
1. It provides them someone to speak to.
Teens are dealing with a lot of changes. They're finding their own identities, trying to slot in, all as the hormones 're going crazy and they're coping with the total amount of oldsters and buddies. The the best teens require an outlet apart from buddies to speak to.
The Fix
A Existence Coach can assist you to be preventative together with your teen. Don't hold back until your child starts acting out, becomes rebellious, or depressed before delivering these to an expert. Rather, notice that this can be a hard time inside a child's existence just due to the many altering dynamics physically, emotionally and socially, and cause them to become talk. The truly amazing factor in regards to a Existence Coach is the fact that there does not need to be something "wrong" if your child to 1. A Existence Coach is definitely an outlet for that teen to speak about goals, buddies as well as run ideas by someone professional, yet impartial. However, if the section of concern does show up, it will likely be caught rapidly, spoken through and labored on before it will get too overwhelming or unmanageable.
2. Teaches Teens to create Goals.
Giving teens direction, goals and visualizations regarding their future can empower them throughout a amount of time in existence where they are able to easily get off track and obtain distracted. During this period in existence, adolescents can be quite self-centered and put a significant concentrate on buddies. While teens should concentrate on growing their identities and looking after a social existence, they should be in a position to understand the significance of their future selves.
The Fix
A Existence Coach will heighten the teenagers awareness regarding their future. They'll take some time every week to go over goals, plans for work/college and dreams. Smaller sized goals is going to be occur the present to create the adolescent on the path toward success regarding bigger goals. The teenager may also be trained how you can set SMART goals. They are goals which are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. Frequently, teens set very fundamental goals that aren't specific and measureable and therefore are less inclined to be performed, possess a plan and become visualized. A Existence Coach will make certain that the teen has specific goals having a plan.
3. Teaches Teens Accountability.
Teens must realize the significance of responsibility within the real life. Accountability also teaches integrity, or doing that which you say you'll do. Being responsible, accountable for your actions and getting integrity can open an adolescents mind, doorways to more chance and overall success.
The Fix
A Existence Coach is about holding people accountable. A Existence Coach sets goals together with your teen during each session. Next time the teenager meets their Coach, they perform a complete run lower from the goals set the session before. Together, they discuss why certain goals were and weren't met. There should be an reason why goals weren't met. Excuses are acknowledged although not supported. Rather, the Existence Coach can make the adolescent evaluate the things they might have done differently to achieve the aim. This method accumulates fundamental skills like comprehension and application in addition to more complex skills like analysis, synthesis and evaluation. This analysis might help highlight stalling issues, confidence problems, barriers with self-discipline, toxic relationships along with other issues that'll be challenged as well as hurdled.
4. Instills Confidence.
There is no secrete that in almost any decade of existence, confidence is definitely an asset that may increase chance, ability and need to consider leaps and get success. Throughout the adolescent years, confidence has been built and it is in a very fragile stage. A teenager who's constantly going for a beating emotionally within this stage within their lives, might have poor self-confidence that runs far into their adult years.
The Fix
A Existence Coach works together with teens to focus on their strengths and encourages and challenges these to play off these strengths to have goals. The greater a teenager can easily see their strengths, the greater confidence they're going to have within their abilities. This confidence frequently impacts the universities they affect, the buddies they choose and also the relationships they've using their parents. Teens will also be trained building confidence before it is at the fee for others, which reduces bullying. A Existence Coach educates teens regarding how to have confidence in saying no thanks to individuals and activities that aren't consistent with their bigger vision and goals. Adolescents learn valuable tools for building confidence, like personal time management, growing self-discipline, how with an open and positive mindset, getting a proper self-image.

The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge were finally released on April 10 in most markets around the world. Threads have already begun popping up in the development sections of the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge on the highly acclaimed development community XDA. Before long a plethora of developers will be releasing custom ROMs, kernels, themes, mods, scripts, etc. that will give users the ability to completely tailor the experience of the Galaxy S6 to their needs. To speed up this process and keep the development community happy, Samsung has released the kernel source code for numerous models of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge on its Open Source Release Center.
Having access to a devices kernel source code is absolutely essential for enthusiast developers. The Linux kernel is the heart of the Android operating system; it is the code that allows software, such as apps, to talk to hardware and vice versa. Think of it as the bridge between the software on a device and the hardware in a device. Whenever a user interacts with software it sends requests to the kernel, which translates these requests into something hardware can actually process. An example is the kernels "governor", which is essentially responsible for controlling how the CPU responds to threads that are queued up by the process scheduler. Whenever you perform an action on your device new threads are created that need to be processed. As the number of threads increase so does "CPU load". In order to prevent lag caused by threads backing up in the scheduler's queue the governor tells the CPU to increase its frequency (ex – 425 MHz to 2.3 GHz). Voila! CPU frequency is increased, backed up threads are processed faster, load decreases, and lag is avoided.
Custom kernel developers create their own version of a devices kernel in order to optimize performance and enable new features that can drastically improve the user experience. These developers have played a major role in the Android community for a long time and are primarily responsible for the drastic increase in Android's performance since its release. Never forget that Android is open source, the Linux kernel was created by enthusiast developers. If it were not for independent developers we would not have the beautiful, fast, and incredibly functional Android phones that we love today. Kudos to Samsung for releasing their kernel source code so quickly and playing nice with the enthusiast development community. Here is a list of the models with source code available: SM-G920F (S6 Global), SM-G920K (S6 Korea), SM-G920L (S6 Korea), SM-G920S (S6 Korea), SM-G920T_NA (S6 USA T-Mobile), SM-G925F (S6 Edge Global), SM-G925K (S6 Edge Korea), SM-G925L (S6 Edge Korea), SM-G925S (S6 Edge Korea), SM-G925T_NA (S6 Edge USA T-Mobile)
