No more plastic bags starting in 2020?
The City of Sherbrooke would ban single-use plastic bags in retail stores. According to the schedule announced on Monday, the new regulation could be adopted this fall to come into effect in 2020, probably April 22 for Earth Day.
The proposed regulation would "prohibit the distribution of certain shopping bags in commercial activities in order to reduce the environmental impact".
Prohibited bags would be plastic shopping bags 0.1 mm and less thick, oxodegradable bags, biodegradable bags and compostable bags. In particular, this regulation does not regulate bags containing advertising material, those used for a liquid medicine dispensed at the counter of a pharmacy or those used exclusively for transporting food to the cash register of a business. Future provisions may, however, be applicable.
Boxes of over-the-counter bags for residential or institutional activities are not covered by the regulation.
The fine for a first offense, for a corporation, would vary between $ 400 and $ 2,000.
The City of Sherbrooke would seek to harmonize its bylaws with those adopted by the Val-Saint-François RCM and draw inspiration from the one adopted in Brossard.
First source of contamination
Among the problems observed in Sherbrooke, it is noted that the instruction to bag bags is mostly not followed in recyclable materials. It is added that non-compostable plastic bags are the primary source of organic matter contamination.
"The City will work closely with Commerce Sherbrooke to target merchants' needs. There will be information evenings with shopkeepers and citizens, "commented Environment Committee Chair Karine Godbout.
"This is a file that the public has often told us about. We demonstrate that on a small scale, we are able to influence the fight against climate change, "Vincent Boutin reacts.
Évelyne Beaudin, for her part, invites her colleagues to consider a variety of strategies, for example by raising taxes and royalties on single-use products.
According to data provided by the City, in Quebec, more than one billion single-use plastic bags are used each year. Only 16% of these bags are recovered. Those that are recycled often cause conveyor stops and they interfere with sorting "by degrading by contamination the quality and price of other bales of recycled materials".
A study commissioned by Recyc-Québec in 2017 established that a reusable bag, other than cotton, is a good option if it is used 35 to 75 times. The introduction in 2017 of the Quebec Voluntary Code of Practice on the use of shopping bags has resulted in a 52% reduction in the annual use of plastic bags.
This new regulation is a first step in a process of reflection on the unique objects of use such as plastic bags, but also straws, cups, utensils and styrofoam containers.

It's Superbowl Sunday. Or as we call it here, just plain old Sunday. It's snowy and cold, but we have other ways to distract ourselves than to watch endless hours of TV concerning the history of the event and highlights of the last season. I might feel differently if the Bears or Lions (you may recall that I grew up in Michigan) took on an opponent in the big game, but not this year.
Hubby's upstairs diligently working on his homework for tomorrow. Oakley and I have claimed our territories on opposite ends of the sofa. I'm listening to WFMT. I will likely plug in a DVD later on and end the day with "Victoria" and "Queen Elizabeth's Spies."
Once upon a time, I would have eschewed even those shows for the Super Bowl, any sporting event. Once upon a time, I, too, would have had no qualms about watching SuperBowl coverage from the minute my feet touched the floor in the morning until I put them back under the covers that night. Once upon a time, I had to watch every sporting event on any network. I even seriously considered going into sports journalism.
Until I went to college and lived in the same housing complex as the men's hockey team. Until I went to college and played women's intramural ice hockey and realized that despite my best efforts to be a jock, I was not one. And that with one exception, I didn't really like any of my teammates.
The toxic brew of vain attempts to please my father (who wanted an athlete in the family–my sister wasn't one, either; my brother had no interest in sports except for managing the high school football team) who felt that history, science fiction, and books were a total waste of time; to attract a high school boyfriend ( I was the girl boys developed friendships with in attempts to get my princess-like then best friend's phone number) and realizing that many of the men and women in the sports circles used athletic prowess as an excuse for pretty bad behavior away from the playing field corroded the fragile metal of my external warrior self.
Once the holes appeared and the armor fell away my freshman year, I was back, sort of, to sci-fi, history, and discovering nature through walks in forests and along the beach at times when I would have been watching humans smash into each other. Much better for the spirit and psyche.
With detachment comes perspective. Since my breakup with sports in college and the subsequent years, I found the clannishness fostered by sports culture rather disturbing. There's an old Latin expression that translates as "divide and conquer." The scent of that has grown more intense in the last few years with the Department of Defense using taxpayer funding for "tributes" to the military
Other issues include what amounts to early indoctrination of children into the cult of sports fandom and the impacts on social issues such as homelessness, human trafficking, and racial inequality.
It is not OK to support a faction of the entertainment industry that pays salaries that could support NFPs to people engaging in deliberate self-harm or harming others for amusement. Too many players such as Dave Duerson (suicide due to chronic depression caused by repeated concussions) and Alex Karras (concussion related dementia) paid dearly in their later years with concussion related issues. Especially if coupled with the message that it may be the only way out of marginalization for minorities. It is not OK to pay for shiny celebrations of military service without paying for treatment for returning members shattered in body and mind in combat. It is not OK to disrupt encampments of homeless people to polish the veneer of your city. It is not OK to pimp underage people to the rich and powerful attending the event.
It is OK to watch something fun played for the love of the game. Time was when college sports were played that way, but then ad revenue and funds from the NCAA became a source of income for too many colleges, distracting from academics.
With all these negatives, why have we allowed sports to take over our culture?
Some psychosocial theories postulate that humans get into sports in response to the hunter-gatherers residing in the deepest corners of our psyches. It's a way of feeling part of a tribe, a clan.
Once upon an epoch, that mindset served the purpose of solidifying against another tribe competing for basic resources such as food.
We don't need it today. We have more efficient delivery mechanisms for the procurement of food, shelter, clothing, and so on than chasing mastodons with spears as well as the means to deliver it to our fellows living in compromised circumstances.
We need to evolve to the next level where we can acknowledge our basic connections with one another and watch out, even in small ways, for our mutual well being.
If we can do that, we might create the greatest prize of all: a clean, green, peace-centered planet.

That panel I can't be at at DragonCon ('cause I had to be here in NY for renders) is starting in less than five minutes. I'm all breathless and full of heart palpitations (within normal range for this much excitement).
I feel like I did when I watched the Discovery landing, but just like Discovery, I won't get any signal on the subject until the anxiety-ridden moment is over.
Must. Take. Deep. Breaths.
Update: Just heard that everything played back okay, though we may not have gotten the best talking to intro it. But at least our work was well received. Hoping to hear back about when I can show you guys tomorrow!

Five Things To Know About Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga's Upcoming "A Star Is Born"
I cannot wait for this movie!
A Star Is Born is dropping on Friday, October 5th and we seriously cannot wait. If you haven't heard about it, or maybe you had, here are the hot facts to know! You can also check out photos from the Los Angeles Premiere here.
1. Bradley Cooper trained for years for this role!
Yes, you read that right: Bradley spent two and a half years prepping the film, finding the character he would play and practricing with musicians and his vocal coach. His end result: a little country, a little rock, a little gristle and a little pop chorus. When he sat down with Gaga she was blown away by Bradley's voice. And then they bonded over spaghetti. Here's Bradley talking about the process.
2. 19 original songs were made in preperation of this movie!
How did we become blessed to have NINETEEN songs? I'm not so sure, but the tracklist includes Bradley's solo songs like the somber "Maybe It's Time" and the hard-rock "Black Eyes". Gaga has the piano ballads of "Always Remember Us This Way" and "I'll Never Love Again" (I'll Never Love Again apparently is a show-stopper). Of course Gaga's character has the pop music, and together they have some duets like the already previewed 'Shallow', 'Music To My Eyes" and "I Don't Know What Love Means". Here's the whole tracklist below.
The tracklist of Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born soundtrack is here pic.twitter.com/kOX0DVnGku— ionuț | Lady Gaga (@BraveForGaga95) August 30, 2018
3. Dave Chapelle and Sam Elliot are both supporting actors in the film
Two legendary actors makes appearences, both excelling in their own way. Sam Elliot plays Bradley's brother, agent and rival while Dave Chapelle plays Cooper's best friend. Here's some sneak peaks on both of them:
4. It's certified fresh and there's plenty of award-buzz about the film!
A Star Is Born has a 95% on Rotten Romatoes, which means it's fresh. And there is so much Oscar buzz with the movie too. By next February, it will be a huge contender for all your favorite award shows!
'A Star is Born' starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga is now certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 95% score and 80 reviews. pic.twitter.com/XZmhb4efqi— Pop World Latest (@PopWorldLatest) September 22, 2018
"Black Panther" and "A Star Is Born" are likely to make the final cut for best picture https://t.co/HXUby0aFvi— The New York Times (@nytimes) September 15, 2018
5. We are getting some pop music, although it's not the Lady Gaga you know of...
Of course for you pop music lovers, there will be some pop bops! But Gaga herself admitted it was a new territory. She was trying to create a pop image for her character Ally. From what we've heard songs like "Heal Me" and "Why Did You Do That?" have R&B early 2000s pop sounds with her falsetto climbing over punchy bass and synthy snaps. Here she is explaining the music behind Ally.
Here's the official trailer if you haven't seen the trailer yet!

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Western New England University women's basketball team fell to the University of New England 63-54 in CCC play on Saturday afternoon at the Alumni Healthful Living Center.
Top Performers
The Golden Bears had two players reach double figures in the contest. Junior forward Meghan Orbann (East Hampton, Conn.) finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks. Junior Emily Farrell (New Fairfield, Conn.) added 11 points and three assists.
Off the bench, junior Alyssa Stefanelli (Chicopee, Mass.) contributed seven points and eight rebounds while sophomore center Emily Scurka (Billerica, Mass.) had six points and nine boards.
For the Nor'easters, juniors Sadie Nelson (Windham, Mass.), Jocelyn Chaput (Nashua, N.H), and first-year Abby Cavallaro (South Portland, Maine) combined for 49 of the 63 UNE points. Cavallaro and Chaput finished with 18 apiece. Nelson added 13 points, eight boards, and an assist.
Game Review
In the first quarter, the Nor'easters used an 8-0 run paced by Chaput who had an early five points. With 3:13 remaining, first-year guard Allie Goodman (Durham, Maine) capped off the run with a three-pointer. Western New England would respond with a Farrell layup and a couple of Scurka buckets to slim the margin to 12-9.
The Golden Bears opened up the second quarter with an 11-3 run of their own to regain the lead at 20-15. Orbann contributed six points in the period to lead the home team. With 26 ticks left in the half, Cavallaro would shoot the Nor'easters within two points of the lead at 24-22.
Opening up the second half, Orbann would receive a pass from Farrell and hit a contested three on the wing to go up 27-22. From there, the Nor'easters would capitalize on cold shooting from the Golden Bears. At 6:28, Cavallaro nailed another three to tie the game at 28. Orbann responded with her second triple of the period only to have the Chaput hit another three for the Nor'easters. UNE pushed its lead to four with Chaput hitting one from beyond the arc. UNE hit four threes in the quarter.
Halfway through the final period, the Golden Bears continued to struggle offensively. For UNE, Chaput and Cavallaro would hit back-to-back threes to push the lead to 51-36. Fouls kept Western New England in the game, hitting 7-of-9 in the period. The three-point shooting from the Nor'easters proved to be too much, resulting in a 63-54 final.
• The Golden Bears had an edge in bench scoring, 18-12.
• Orbann scored in double figures for the eighth time this season, finishing with 15 points.
Up Next
Western New England (8-4, 3-2 CCC) looks to bounce back when they host Nichols College (3-9, 1-3 CCC) on Tuesday, January 8 at 7pm. The Nor'easters (6-6, 4-0 CCC) will try to stay perfect in CCC play against Salve Regina (5-8, 1-3 CCC) on Tuesday.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 19, 2015) -
Caldwell Investment Management Ltd. (the "Manager") is pleased to announce the closing of the initial public offering of units ("Units") of Caldwell U.S. Dividend Advantage Fund (TSX:UDA.UN)(the "Fund"). The Fund raised gross proceeds of $50 million from the sale of 5,000,000 Units. The Fund has granted the agents an over-allotment option, exercisable for a period of 30 days from today's date, to purchase an additional 750,000 Units. The Units are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "UDA.UN".
The Manager paid all fees and expenses of the offering. As a result, the net asset value per Unit immediately following the closing of the offering was $10.00.
The investment objectives of the Fund are to provide holders of Units with: (i) monthly cash distributions; and (ii) the potential for capital appreciation and enhanced long-term risk adjusted returns. The Fund will invest in an actively managed portfolio (the "Portfolio") comprised primarily of U.S. dividend-paying equity securities that exhibit a combination of low current volatility and high profitability and are expected by the Manager to significantly benefit from the current U.S. economic expansion. In addition, the Fund will incorporate a disciplined risk management process that is designed to tactically shift the Portfolio towards the least volatile sectors of the market and reduce equity exposure from time to time in advance of future market downturns in order to mitigate the potential for capital loss.
The Fund will not have a fixed distribution but intends to pay monthly cash distributions based on, among other things, the actual and expected returns on the Portfolio. Based on current estimates and the assumptions set out in the final prospectus of the Fund dated May 28, 2015, the Fund's initial distribution target is expected to be $0.05 per Unit per month ($0.60 per annum per Unit) representing an annual yield of 6.0% on the Unit issue price. The initial cash distribution is anticipated to be payable on or about August 14, 2015 to holders of Units of record on July 31, 2015.
Caldwell Investment Management Ltd. will act as manager and portfolio manager of the Fund. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caldwell Financial Ltd. and is a member of the Caldwell group of companies ("Caldwell"). Established in 1980, Caldwell provides full service investment management, advisory and custodial services to individual and institutional investors and has assets under management and administration of approximately $1 billion. Based in Ontario, Caldwell has 60 employees including 30 investment professionals and operates out of six offices. Caldwell's investment products include closed-end and open-end funds, accredited investor funds and separately managed accounts. Caldwell's clients include Canadian and international individual investors, financial institutions, public and private pension funds, endowment funds, foundations and private family accounts. Caldwell has extensive experience investing in North American equity and debt securities.
The Units were offered for sale by a syndicate of agents co-led by RBC Capital Markets, CIBC and Scotiabank and including BMO Capital Markets, National Bank Financial Inc., GMP Securities L.P., Raymond James Ltd., Canaccord Genuity Corp., Caldwell Securities Ltd., Desjardins Securities Inc., Industrial Alliance Securities Inc., Mackie Research Capital Corporation, Manulife Securities Inc., Euro Pacific Canada Inc. and Kernaghan & Partners Ltd.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities of the Fund have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to a U.S. person absent registration under the 1933 Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws.
This offering is only made by prospectus. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the securities being offered. Copies of the prospectus may be obtained from any of the above-mentioned agents. Investors should read the prospectus before making an investment decision.

A Year in Our Garden - 2016
Rather than doing the month-by-month review I've done in the past, I decided to look at what worked, what didn't, and what fell in between this gardening season. I've summarized our results in a table below.
Our garden plots were somewhat limited again this year. Last season, we didn't plant our East Garden plot due to my hip replacement surgery in May (2015). I tried to not overdo things this year, as I'm still rebuilding muscle strength lost from when my hip was bad and I babied myself a bit too much. Our East Garden that often has lots of crops was limited to yellow squash, melons, sweet corn, and potatoes this year. Well, I did plant sage plants around the plot as corner and halfway markers and a long row of zinnias down one side and another long row of nasturtiums down the other side.
Our raised beds were somewhat reduced from years past. I planted about half the spring carrots and lettuce as usual. I also cut back our planting of peppers, other than the open pollinated Earliest Red Sweet variety which we're trying to save from extinction. A single row of spring green beans was planted instead of our usual two. The spring planting of green beans was due to the fields around us being planted to soybeans. We got our beans picked and canned before the usual hord of Japanese Beetles migrated from the soybeans to our garden plots.
Here are the results from our 2016 garden. While it looks like we did pretty well, there were more total crop failures that we usually experience.
In gardening, you're going to win some and lose some each season. We got beat up pretty bad on sweet corn, potatoes, and tomatoes this year. But we had a bumper crop of butternut squash with just three or four plants producing a hundred winter squash. Our spring broccoli was a disaster, but our fall broccoli filled our freezer with delicious broccoli florets. We had another great crop of garlic, lots of peas and green beans, and so many carrots that I donated some to our local food bank.
Our first year with a true, separate herb garden planted in a new raised bed around our shallow well was a great success. We had good basil, parsley, sage, rosemary, dill, oregano, and thyme. I also had dill and basil planted in some of our other garden plots which did really well.
Our eighty foot row of zinnias along the north border of our East Garden were spectacular this year. Zinnias are easy to grow, and I had lots of saved seed to make the planting economical. I had to seriously weed the row just once early on. I later was able to hold back weeds with grass clipping mulch.
Canning - Cool Storage - Freezing - Drying
We only canned green beans, applesauce, and Portuguese Kale Soup this year. We had lots of canned tomatoes and pickles leftover from last year, although the pickles are disappearing fast.
We have garlic, onions, a few potatoes, and butternut squash in cool storage in our basement. The basement actually runs a bit warm and dry for such storage, but we do okay with it. I have to frequently check our onions for sprouting and rot. The few potatoes we dug this year are already getting a bit wrinkly.
Our carrots are stored in Debbie Meyer Green Bags in the vegetable bins of our refrigerator. I've been trying to use the few spring carrots that have put up shoots from the tops, but for the most part, the carrots are storing well so far. We usually can store our fall carrots well into spring this way.
We froze peas, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, pepper strips, some cull carrots, and asparagus this year. After using some of the frozen asparagus, we'll skip that one next year.
We dried rather than canning our kidney beans this year. We also dried cowpeas. From our herb garden, we dried thyme, rosemary, dill seed and dill weed. I didn't attempt drying any parsley, basil, sage, or oregano, as we still had lots left from previous seasons. We really enjoyed having fresh herbs when cooking growing just a few steps from the kitchen this year.
Seed Saving
We save seed to cut our costs in the future and to help preserve some good, but endangered vegetable varieties. Our main targets for seed saving this year were Abundant Bloomsdale spinach, Earliest Red Sweet peppers, and Who Gets Kissed sweet corn. We saved a lot of seed from the first two, but deer and raccoons consumed all of our sweet corn this year! Two of three would yield a superstar baseball batting average of .667. Of course, two of three yields 67%, a failing grade in most schools. I'm choosing to be happy with what we got.
Other saved seed, in no particular order, includes Carpet dianthus, dwarf basil, Japanese Long Pickling cucumbers, Moira and Quinte tomatoes, Eclipse and Encore peas (both of which are PVP protected, so I can't sell or share seed, but can grow and save enough for us to re-plant), hosta, zinnia, asparagus, cantaloupe, gloxinia, and impatiens.

People spend a lot of time at work in meetings. And according to surveys, 70% of employees feel that the meetings they attend aren't productive—in short a waste of time.
If you're one of the majority that feels this way, this comes as no surprise. You know the feelings of frustration all too well. As well as the financial cost. If 4 people each earning $40,000 a year attend a 2 hour meeting that goes nowhere, that's a cost of $152 of wasted time just for that meeting. Not to mention the incidental costs such as travel. Take those costs and multiply by the number of meetings you feel are a waste of time over a year and you are getting some real money. In this day and age when organizations are facing enormous budget constraints, and are looking hard at all their cost elements, improving meeting quality jumps out as a "no brainer".
Yet there is often little analysis of why meetings fail, or what needs to happen so they succeed. Here are some of the common reasons things go wrong that you can measure against your own experience.
● Meeting leader is unprepared and tries to "wing it"
● There's no formal agenda
● Everyone disagrees on the meeting's subject
● The expected desired results are not defined
● People critical to meeting's success:
– Don't Show Up
– Weren't Invited
– Come late or leave early
● Participants don't understand their roles
● Unfocussed discussion
● Results are not accurately recorded.
● Other reasons that you've experienced
On the other hand, meetings that work usually contain the following elements.
● Meeting is well designed:
– Has a purpose statement with agreed upon meeting subject and desired results
– Has an agenda that clearly specifies topics for discussion, timing, participant expectations, etc.
– Provides participants with needed background information
– Determines needed pre-work by participants.
– Uses effective group discussion processes such as brainstorming, problem solving, decision making, etc.
– Determines needed meeting logistics
● Meeting starts and ends on time
● Meeting Leader is prepared
● The critical people are in attendance
● Participants understand their roles and participate appropriately
● The meeting's discussion focuses on the topics at hand
● Pertinent discussion and results are captured and used going forward as needed.
Because holding better meetings is so important, KAW Consulting developed "Meetings That Work", an electronic handbook that shows you step by step how to design and run effective meetings. Written in a clear, easy to use format you'll learn:
- What makes meetings succeed, and why many fail
- The crucial roles that need to be filled in each meeting
- The 8 Steps for designing Effective Meetings
- Tips for Running an Effective Meeting
- How to deal with potential problems you may encounter such as:
– Stares and Silence
– Negative Remarks
– Separate Agendas
– One person trying to dominate the discussion
- How to use effective group discussion processes to:
– Generate Ideas by Brainstorming
– Solve Problems
– Make Better Decisions
– Plan Tasks
– Set Goals
What's more, because it's an electronic book in PDF format, you can store it on your computer so you have it accessible each time you need to design a meeting! We've even included hyperlinks so you can jump right to the page or section you need without having to spend time scrolling through unneeded pages.

Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones
|Enchanted Glass by Diana Wynne Jones
|Category: Confident Readers
|Reviewer: Ruth Ng
|Summary: Magical mystery galore in this quirky, funny book. Great for those still in mourning over the end of Harry Potter.
|Buy? Yes
|Borrow? Yes
|Pages: 336
|Date: January 2010
|Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books
Andrew Hope, a rather woolly professor, learns that his magical grandfather has died, leaving him his house and his field-of-care. Andrew remembers some things from when he was a little boy, such as his grandfather leaving vegetables on the roof of the shed for someone, or something, to eat each night. He also remembers that there is something special about the beautiful, old coloured glass above the kitchen door, but not exactly what that is. It seems he has forgotten a lot of what his grandfather taught him, including the mystery of the field-of-care he has inherited. But with the entrance of Aidan Cain, an orphan, into his house and his life the mysteries deepen. The two are drawn to each other, however, and slowly start to unravel the truth that surrounds them.
I have been meaning to read something by Diana Wynne Jones for a long time but somehow never got round to it, so I jumped at the chance to try this new stand-alone novel. I think the thing I liked most about it were the characters. Andrew seemed an unusual hero for a children's story initially, since he is a middle aged man. It was only with the entrance of Aidan that I saw that there are multiple levels in the story, so younger children will live vicariously through Aidan, and older readers will probably follow Andrew's story.
Along with the house, Andrew inherits two members of staff, Mr and Mrs Stock (not married, or related - almost all the other characters in this small country village seem to have the surname of Stock!) Well anyway, Mr Stock is a rather grumpy gardener, intent on growing the largest vegetables for the village fete, and when crossed by Andrew he finds revenge by presenting him with boxes and boxes of overly large, totally inedible vegetables that Andrew secretly feeds to the mysterious someone/something that comes along each night to eat on the roof of his old shed.
Mrs Stock meanwhile is a dragon of a housekeeper and I think my favourite part of the whole book is with her when Andrew has moved things around in the drawing room, but Mrs Stock spends the whole day putting them back where they 'belong'. They don't exchange any words about the situation, just continue with the moving, so every night Andrew moves all the furniture using magic, and every morning Mrs Stock moves it all back again by hand growing more and more exhausted and frustrated! She expresses her displeasure by making copious amounts of cauliflower cheese for Andrew's dinner!
So, there's lots of humour to be found in the characters, and of course lots of magical ideas. I would have liked some of these ideas to have been explored or explained a little more (I won't go into details on what because I don't want to spoil the story) but the book had a definite feel of being 'to be continued' so perhaps she is saving some of the explanations for a sequel. The balance between the 'real' world and the magical world is very cleverly written. As a reader you're unsure who is magical and who isn't, or what magic they can do, or whether they are good or bad or if the lines between good and bad are even that clear. I think younger readers would enjoy the sense that anyone can do magic, without having to spend years at a magical school.
I dropped a star from the book for a couple of reasons. One was that just occasionally things felt a little rushed somehow. There's a rather hurried, not entirely believable, romance between Andrew and Mr Stock's niece, Stashe, for example that suddenly blunders into existence and jarred a little as I read it. Also, as I mentioned before, I felt there were some things left unanswered, so the ending of the story lacked proper closure for me. But these were really just minor objections to what was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I'm sure it will be very popular amongst her legion of fans, and hopefully will be the start of another series for her.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
Further reading suggestion: Other Diana Wynne Jones books you might like to try are The Game and Charmed Life.

We offer tailored content, making it easier to find what you're looking for. If you're unsure, contact the UQ Student Centre for more information.
Why did you choose to study at UQ?
I completed my secondary schooling at a high school in Queensland and I have wanted to be a vet since Year 10. I decided to attend UQ because it offered a comprehensive program in my field of interest, veterinary science.
UQ's great selection of student societies and activities was an aspect of university life that also appealed to me.
What have you been able to achieve as a result of studying at UQ?
Despite some similarities between studying in Korea and Australia, my decision to do my university studies in Australia provided a really unique experience.
It pushed me out of my "safe zone", allowing me to experience life on my own two feet within a completely different culture. It also improved my English language skills.
Even though I occasionally feel homesick, I've adjusted to life in Queensland quite well and made many new friends. My time in Australia has been a challenging yet rewarding experience, so it was an easy decision to continue my studies in Queensland, at UQ in particular.
As an international student, I've learned to compete with myself, not with other people – and this has helped me deal with pressure a lot more easily.
How would you describe your UQ study experience?
My UQ experience has been very positive so far. I've found the lecturers and other university staff, as well as my fellow students, to be very friendly and helpful. I love the flexibility of the class schedules, which allows me to organise my timetable to suit my individual situation.
And my program is a lot more practical than I'd imagined – this has been a highlight. I've gained many experiences in the "real world" with people such as graduates, farmers, city vets, etc.
I think the high level of practical work involved in the degree program is what makes UQ a top global university. The practical aspects of my program have enhanced my learning experience because it helps students with different learning styles.
I'm a visual person, and by actually doing something, I can remember it easily. When I'm not busy studying, I'm involved with the Korean International Student Society (KISS), and I've been able to make many friends, which has helped me feel more at home.

Water agencies across the state have been calling the water shortage a statewide crisis. The Governor urged Californians to voluntarily reduce water use by twenty-percent. Tim Quinn with the Association of California Water Agencies says the declaration is a wake-up call for Californians to conserve. He says the emergency proclamation allows someone with water to sell to someone who needs it.
"If Folsom Reservoir is one of your primary sources of supply you're in trouble right now, if you're a farmer in the San Joaquin Valley dependent upon very much curtailed water deliveries that need to be conveyed across the Delta, you're in trouble right now, we need to make sure that those places that are in trouble get the relief that they need," Quinn said.
The proclamation also directs the California Department of Water Resources to identify groundwater shortages, monitor the use of farmland and provide an update by April 30th.

New Study Reveals Software Pricing and Licensing Trends are Transforming the Enterprise Software Marketplace
As some software producers benefit and others fail to keep up, a market shake up is possible
Itasca, IL - July 26, 2016 The enterprise software marketplace is undergoing a massive transformation as the pricing and licensing models dictating how software is bought and sold evolve. Fueled in part by shifts in customer demand and in part by rapidly changing technology, some application producers are poised to reap windfall profits from the new software pricing and licensing models emerging, while others risk being left behind. This is the conclusion of a new report published by Software Monetization expert, Flexera Software. Among the report's findings:
- Perpetual Decline: Only 43 percent of producers say perpetual software licenses contribute to half or more of their revenues. Historically, the perpetual license was the dominant licensing model used by most software vendors.
- Shifting Foundations: 70 percent of producers will change their pricing and licensing models within the next two years. The reasons? To generate more revenues, be more competitive and improve customer relations.
- No Installation Required: 36 percent of producers say that less than half of their applications are delivered as traditional installed software.
- Change Ready: Within the next two yearsproducers plan on changing their licensing policies to accommodate new technologies like:
- Cloud (49 Percent)
- SaaS (46 percent)
- Virtualization (47 percent)
- Mobile Platforms (55 percent)
- Bliss or Ignorance? 73 percent of producers boast their pricing and licensing policies are effective. Yet despite this confidence, 51 percent of those surveyed admitted they don't track customer usage, 45 percent don't audit customer usage, 55 percent don't have technology in place to track customer usage of their products, and 42 percent say their customers have challenges determining which software products they're entitled to use.
"Enterprises are rapidly redefining how they want to license and pay for business software. Moreover, technology is shifting so rapidly it is rendering old pricing and licensing models obsolete," said R "Ray" Wang, Principal Analyst & Founder at Constellation Research. "Smart software producers are being proactive, viewing this dramatic shift as an opportunity to offer more flexible monetization models, capture market share and new revenue streams. Producers that fail to act risk being left behind."
"The report illustrates the fluidity of the software market place and the rapidly changing customer preferences dictating how software is bought and sold," said Steve Schmidt, Vice President of Corporate Development at Flexera Software. "To thrive in this environment producers must adopt an agile Software Monetization strategy and implement automation that flexibly supports multiple software pricing and licensing models. As the data suggests, many producers are not yet 'change-ready,' and therefore are at risk."

Arctic Monkeys frontman joins Marilyn Manson and Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul at TV launch event in LA.
Alex Turner (worth $15 million) was in attendance at a star-studded launch for the new, and final, season of Breaking Bad in Los Angeles on Sunday (August 11). Turner attended the Bushmills-sponsored screening with his gorgeous nine-inch-nails girlfriend, "actress" Arielle Vandenberg, at a private space in Venice, Los Angeles. Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse Pinkman on the cult show, was also at the event alongside a guest list which included Marilyn Manson, Dita Von Teese, Kellan Lutz, Kid Cudi, Sunny Mabrey, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and showrunner Vince Gilligan.
Breaking Bad returned to record ratings in the US on Sunday night. A massive 5.9 million viewers tuned in to watch the first instalment in the show's eight-episode concluding run – nearly double Breaking Bad's previous best ever audience of three million, which it posted during the first half of its fifth and final season last August (2012).
Meanwhile, Arctic Monkeys recently unveiled the trippy video for new single 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?'. The video, directed by Nabil, sees a drunk Turner leave the rest of the band behind in a bar to seek out a 4 am booty call. As he travels down the road towards the house of the girl he is texting, he is fraught with highly-sexual hallucinations and encounters unsavoury characters.
Blame gee-whiz the hormones!

VC funding for health IT exceeds $5 billion in 2016
2016 was a record-setting year for venture capital funding for health IT companies, with investment exceeding $5 billion for the first time, according to research firm Mercom Capital Group. In particular, mobile health as a technology category set a new record, with $2.1 billion in VC funding.
Overall, last year saw 622 deals worth $5.1 billion in investments, representing 9 percent in year-over-year growth compared to 574 deals which raised $4.6 billion in 2015.
"2016 was a pretty good year—compared to 2015 we grew about 9 percent, which is not bad, and we hit $5 billion for the first time," says Raj Prabhu CEO and co-founder of Mercom Capital Group, who notes that VC funding rebounded after declining by 2 percent in 2015 compared to 2014.

At the same time, Prabhu points out that 2016's numbers as a percentage are a far cry from the 2010-2014 time period, when VC funding nearly doubled each year.
Nonetheless, the top funded technology areas in 2016 included: mobile apps ($1.3 billion), wearable sensors ($592 million), data analytics ($574 million), telemedicine ($528 million), mobile wireless ($228 million), and wellness ($218 million).
"For mobile health, definitely it was a big year," adds Prabhu. "The other area that is doing really well is data analytics. Companies that are coming up with software to parse the data, make sense of it and turn it into actionable intelligence are doing well."
According to Mercom, the top five VC funding rounds in 2016 were: Chinese company Ping An Good Doctor with $500 million; Chunyu Yisheng, $183 million; Flatrion Health, $175 million; Jawbone, $165 million; and Meet You, $151 million.
"Looking globally, there was a lot of pick-up in funding in China, some really big deals, especially on the mobile health side," observes Prabhu.
While Mercom reports that 35 countries recorded health IT VC funding activity in 2016, the firm reveals that most of the investment was in the United States, which saw more than $3.4 billion in 431 deals.
In addition to VC activity, Mercom also did an analysis of debt and public market financing for HIT companies, reporting that it fell to $533 million in 18 deals in 2016, compared with $3.4 billion in 29 deals in 2015. Further, there were only four initial public offerings in 2016, raising a combined $234 million, compared with seven IPOs in 2015 bringing in $2.2 billion.
"The enthusiasm in funding the sector by venture capitalists and private equity is not shared by the public markets," says Prabhu. "On the public market side, compared with private companies, you have to make money, grow revenues and make profits."
Still, of the 30 public health IT companies Mercom tracks, Prabhu notes that only eight companies beat the S&P 500 market index, compared with 15 in 2015, while about 60 percent of HIT public companies stocks the firm follows lost money in 2016.
Mercom also reports that mergers and acquisitions in the health IT sector in 2016 dropped slightly to 205, compared with 219 transactions in 2015. "M&A needs to grow along with funding, because companies are only going to get so much VC funding, beyond which they will have to either go to public markets, or somebody else has to buy them out," according to Prabhu.
Mobile health apps were involved in 21 M&A transactions, followed by data analytics companies with 19, practice management solutions with 16 transactions, and telemedicine companies with 12.
The top five publicly disclosed M&A transactions in 2016 were the acquisition of MedAssets by Pamplona Capital Management ($2.75 billion); the purchase of Truven Health Analytics by IBM ($2.6 billion); the acquisition of Press Ganey Associates by EQT Equity fund EQT VII ($2.35 billion); the purchase of Netsmart Technologies by Allscripts & GI Partners ($950 million); and the acquisition of Verisk Analytics' healthcare services business from Verisk Health (known today as Verscend) by Veritas Capital ($820 million).

Shortie blitz:
It's coming down to the wire. Not easy to assess the complexities in Syria. With comments on The Saker weighing Paul Craig Roberts' grim assessment; The provocations that Putin invites are now escalating.
A troubling read. One certainty: Time is about up. The next 30, to what... 90 days, are a crossroads. How can this battered nation remain anything like it is? It would constitute a Syria-centric defeat. Provocation inviting the sickos running the West to have their nasty concluding way. Proxy on in the madness and mayhem for regional hegemony.
The strategic position and amping-up are over a window and Syria able to somewhat rebuild. The last obvious stronghold of invaders sent packing -vs- lumbering on. A reversal of their moves toward re-independence.
Russia shaking off significant suspicion it's all about a Belt Road double-cross? Or, under the thumb enough and do what outsider's command?
Iran carrying on? Is this more Belt claimed ruse or will the hit happen? Thought wide-war is on before but have we heard the levels and nutter-talk like this? The bet that Trump himself has the power to give the Zionist-based stakeholders all but... is one long-shot. A few signs suggest this the case but again, all will be clear, sooner than later.
While revealing Putin's intent, or whoever is their powers-to-be, another outcome. The question of time determining the landscape.
Push, push, push... until, and as Putin has stated; when a fight is inevitable, you hit first. Fake politic-speak or a genuine threat?
Would appear their national interest -- assuming the case and cause -- will only survive if this space is upheld. What else and the strategic purpose in busying themselves in Syria? Unless one step to halting their own balkanized demise.
OK -- post to post and sub-sense compared to comments am reading. Paul Craig Roberts and The Saker are springboards. What matters is making an expression to help me understand.
The significance of these days -- and move prayer. Feel the groaning and do believe, God is grieving-concerned.

Starlight by Lynn White
They're hanging like spangled banner
draped over the night black globe.
Pin pricks in the blackness.
But no red blood flowing.
Silver spangles oozing
gleaming white light.
The red will follow soon enough as
the sun plots it's rise to power.
As it schemes to flood the black,
obliterate the white,
drown them both,
blind them in it's
golden glow and
blood red heat.

The Durrells in Corfu, the popular ITV and PBS series, will be back for Season 4, which will start filming late this year. Even though one Durrells star will be appearing in The Crown Season 3 as Prince Charles, he will still be part of the cast shooting in Corfu.
Radio Times says that The Durrells, which is about an English widow who picks up stakes and moves her struggling family to the island of Corfu, has maintained its popularity over the years. The series, which is based on books by Gerald Durrell, stars Keeley Hawes as Louisa Durrell, a quirky mother of four children eclectic children.
Season 4 will be a six-part series which tells the stories of Louisa, Lawrence (John O'Connor), Leslie (Callum Woodhouse), Margo (Daisy Waterstone) and Gerald (Milo Parker) Durrell.
The series based on conservationist Gerald Durrell's childhood in the 1930s in Corfu was adapted and written by Simon Nye. When asked about the future of a relationship between Louisa and island local Spiros, Nye says he's not telling, other than to say Spiros' wife is returning with their children, so he is torn.
"They're still together on the island, and who knows what the future is."
Nye explains that the cast had been waiting to find out if The Durrells would get a fourth season.
"We're still waiting. Obviously, the viewing figures have been pretty good, and there's been a lot of love for the show, so I'm hopeful. But we don't assume anything. I was commissioned to write two episodes for the new series a long time ago, so if the call comes."
Then the production company finally got the green light this week. Sally Woodward Gentle of Sid Gentle Films made the announcement.
"We couldn't be more delighted to be making more of The Durrells with our exceptional team and on the magical island of Corfu – it is a dream come true."
Each season of the series plays first in the U.K. on ITV, and then PBS. American viewers still haven't seen Season 3. ITV's Senior Drama Commissioner Victoria Fea says the network and fans of The Durrells are eagerly awaiting the new season.
"The Durrells has proven immensely popular with viewers and critics alike, so we're thrilled to have commissioned another series. Simon Nye's writing is witty, big-hearted and hugely engaging, so we're looking forward to seeing what the fourth series has in store."
The Durrells In Corfu Season 3 will air this fall on PBS.

Excellent Quality 5 Sharp Blades Herb Scissors
Link to my review on Amazon:
***My Personal Review***
Do you grow your own herbs? If you do and you don't have a pair of scissors like this then you definitely need to get a pair! These are something I have never had or seen before, so I was quite surprised when I opened the box and saw the 10 blades that cut like magic. And they don't just work for herbs, they will work for pretty much any food or use in the kitchen which is great. Even if you don't grow your herbs but like to use fresh ones in your foods, these are great for chopping and mincing them as small as you want.
They are sturdy and well made with strong bolts that won't come apart on you. I wasn't sure I would like the lime green color but actually I really like it a lot. This pair of scissors also comes with a little extra goodie which is a comb - you use it on herbs to weed out the bad parts and/or make them soft and pliable. Another new one on me! You get both for just $11.99 so pick up a pair today :)

VANDALS have trashed a much-loved community sports centre twice in a fortnight, causing more than #2,000 of damage.
A gang of around five teenage thugs armed with a pick-axe broke into the Vernon Sangster centre in Stanley Park, Anfield, on Saturday.
They got in through a ceiling window at the back of the centre and proceeded through the building, smashing windows and equipment as they went.
The thugs also took petty change from the bar and emptied the centre's vending machines, setting off the burglar alarms at around 8pm.
Vernon Sangster, which has around 100,000 people using its facilities each year, was first targeted less than two weeks ago at around 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday. Then thugs broke in and smashed up the centre.
Centre manager Marie Rooney said: "One member of staff was on the scene in minutes and saw five youths running out of the centre, one of them with a pick axe.
"We had only just repaired a huge amount of damage, again probably around #1,000 worth, from the break-in on August 31.
"I don't know how long we can keep going in these circumstances. The excess on our insurance is #500 but I doubt we will claim because the premium is already #11,000 a year and we risk pushing it higher.
"We feel under siege - it's a real shame our youngers are having to suffer because of these mindless yobs; we are having to look at getting friends to repair the centre because we cannot afford to get contractors."
She added: "We spent #25,000 of Neighbourhood Renewal Money on getting extra police cover for Anfield of a weekend, but it has not stopped youths focusing on Stanley Park."
The latest attack comes in the same week after a gang of youths vandalised one of eight football pitches within the shadow of the Vernon Sangster centre on Stanley Park, destroying goal posts and driving a car all over the grass before leaving it burnt out on the sidelines.
Neighbourhood Inspector Mark Harrison said: "We are liasing with Vernon Sangster staff to come up with some practical steps to help make themselves, and the building, less vulnerable.
"Inquiries are ongoing into this vandalism, and we would appeal to the community to come forward with any information by calling me on 0151-777 4641."

Physics 2015
Spectroscopic Study of Star-forming Galaxies in Filaments and the Field at $z\sim$0.5: Evidence for Environmental Dependence of Electron Density
We study the physical properties of a spectroscopic sample of 28 star-forming galaxies in a large filamentary structure in the COSMOS field at $z\sim$0.53, with spectroscopic data taken with the Keck/DEIMOS spectrograph, and compare them with a control sample of 30 field galaxies. We spectroscopically confirm the presence of a large galaxy filament ($\sim$ 8 Mpc), along which five confirmed X-ray groups exist. We show that within the uncertainties, the ionization parameter, equivalent width (EW), EW versus specific star-formation rate (sSFR) relation, EW versus stellar mass relation, line-of-sight velocity dispersion, dynamical mass, and stellar-to-dynamical mass ratio are similar for filament and field star-forming galaxies. However, we show that on average, filament star-forming galaxies are more metal-enriched ($\sim$ 0.1$-$0.15 dex), possibly due to the inflow of the already enriched intrafilamentary gas into filament galaxies. Moreover, we show that electron densities are significantly lower (a factor of $\sim$17) in filament star-forming systems compared to those in the field, possibly because of a longer star-formation timescale for filament star-forming galaxies. Our results highlight the potential pre-processing role of galaxy filaments and intermediate-density environments on the evolution of galaxies, which has been highly underestimated.

Rowing is traditionally a university sport and also indispensable from Hamburg, with the Alster and its beautiful upper course. And so in 2007 the HSBA Rowing Team launched.
The team trains year-round and in all weather in the rowing club "Allemannia von 1866". The club is located directly on the Aussenalster. In addition to technical training on the water, there they also train for strength in the gym and on the ergometer, which is specially tailored to the dual study course of the students. The team is coached by Sven Carstens, long-time success coach of HSBA and the rowing club "Allemannia von 1866". The Rowing team participates in a number of traditional Hamburg regattas, as well as an Ergonomics, the German University Championships or well-known long-distance races at the head of the Amstel in Amsterdam.For up-to-date information, visit the Facebook page of the team: HSBA Rowing FacebookBoth experienced rowers and beginners can join the HSBA Rowing Team. For questions, the captains of the rowing team are happy to help, and can be reached at hsbarowing(at)gmail.com.If you are not yet a student at the HSBA, you can first contact Klaus Waubke.

EXPECTATIONS that foreign companies can cash in on Iraq's oil riches are in doubt after a key parliamentary body in Baghdad pledged to "push Shell out" and halt a forthcoming licensing round.
The warning from the secretary of the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas committee, Jabir Khalifa Jabir, was seen by financial analysts yesterday as a serious threat to Western investment opportunities in a country that holds the second-largest oil reserves in the world.
Shell has been considered a front runner in the race to seize control of the Iraqi energy sector after signing a $US4 billion ($5.5 billion) deal to process and market gas from the south and ship it, possibly to Britain, as liquefied natural gas.
But the preliminary agreement - and a subsequent deal with China National Petroleum Corporation - were unconstitutional and detrimental to Iraq's economic interests, said Mr Jabir, who worked for more than 15 years at Iraq's state-run Southern Gas Company.
The Oil Ministry has said it does not need parliament's approval to sign new deals but Mr Jabir argued that Iraqi law 97 clearly states all arrangements of this nature must be passed by parliament.
The committee had studied the preliminary Shell deal for the past six months and all members have concluded that it is illegal, he said.
The deal with Shell and the wider oil licensing round have been controversial because many critics believed they were unduly influenced by the United States and Britain, who occupied the country after toppling Saddam Hussein in 2003. Critics saw the invasion as a "war for oil" and believed it would open the way for US and British oil companies to regain assets seized from them decades earlier through nationalisation.

Plex, now triply confirmed for the platform, is just weeks away as TiVo begins rolling out software version 20.4.7 to Premiere and Roamio units. Its ultimate usefulness and quality will likely be governed by launching as a native app, like Amazon Instant, or living within the Opera TV app store. Neither Plex and TiVo have yet to respond to my inquiries, so your guess is as good as mine. Regardless, I'll go ahead and assume the Amazon Fire TV will retain the crown of top Plex client… but there is something to be said for Input 1 access to the important stuff. 20.4.7 also sets the stage for iHeartRadio and Vudu (finally on Premiere). You can see the release notes above, copied from TiVo's revamped support site, and sign up for the Priority List here.

No one likes to be kept in the dark. Hell, there's even a cliché for that. Garage Light is the shining savior of the dangerously dim workspace. It keeps your garages, shops, and stalls brighter than an army of incandescent bulbs could, so you can work with clarity and without clutter.
Work that goes without proper lighting is work that goes undone. Tackle your to-do list with the only light that packs 12,000 Lumens into a single fixture. Comparatively, you'd need fifteen 60-watt incandescent bulbs to match its shade-shattering brightness.
When you're knee-deep in your latest project, the last thing you want is an unscheduled flight on a dolly while you're trying to get to a light switch. With an optional occupancy sensor, your Garage Light will illuminate your space automatically as soon as you enter and shut off without hassle once you leave. Program the motion sensor with your phone via Bluetooth for even more convenience.
Garage Light can be flush-mounted to a junction box or plugged into a standard outlet to fit your workspace. Designed with a light module that rotates to 45° or 90° and a snap-on, easy-to-clean lens, it's guaranteed to give you light at the precise angle you need.
Getting bright light that lasts for decades is as easy as the word "go." Installing Garage Light is a simple, single-person job that takes only minutes; choose from a standard wall plug or direct-wired to a junction box. Moving house? With such easy install and an extremely durable but surprisingly lightweight design, Garage Light will be riding shotgun to its next destination.
Like a prizefighter, Garage Light doesn't just land punches with its performance—it can take a hit and keep on coming all 12 rounds of its more than 17-year lifespan. Its rugged thermodynamic design dissipates heat so it won't flicker or overheat, and its LEDs are instant-on for full light output with no warm-up. With such impressive reliability in its corner, we've got no reservations backing it with a full 10-year warranty, which even includes the driver.
" The experience I had buying the garage lights was outstanding. I was trying to get lights and a wall mount in time for a Father's Day gift. They figured a way so that I could receive the light and mount in time. The customer service was better than I could have hoped for — fantastic experience.
" This is my second Garage Light. You make a very high quality product.
" I was really unhappy with the fluorescent lights in my garage. I couldn't see anything after dark and had to set up task light to work. With the Garage Light, my garage is now much brighter. They work great and are more efficient, too. I couldn't be happier!
" The only problem we have with the Garage Light fixtures is that they're just too damn awesome. Seriously, everything is great, and we love them.
