Some early guesses of 30 million or even 100 million have been replaced in the last few years with more reliable estimates of somewhere between five to ten million species. But despite this massive uncertainty there is one thing which is indisputable – the vast majority of Earth's inhabitants (~65 per cent) are invertebrate and most of those are insects.
It is therefore not very surprising that these creatures have a pre-eminent impact on the functioning of global ecosystems. Creatures like us – and I don't just mean primates, but all back-boned animals from aardvarks to zebras and axolotls to zorrillas (a striped polecat in case you were wondering) make up less than three per cent of all species.
Yet it is these very animals that most people hold dear. I use a slide in my lectures which has images of all sorts of insects along with one face-on image of a female slender loris with a baby on its back. No prizes for guessing the first, and probably the only, thing audiences look at. It seems we can't help ourselves. Attractive they may be, but in the great ecological scheme of things, they are pretty useless. If you really want to understand the world around you – you need to get down to some serious entomologising.
"At what point does the web of life become so frayed that is starts to disintegrate?"
Pollination is perhaps one of the most essential symbioses ever to have evolved. This plant-insect version of 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine' has been around for 100 million years and it has given the world a rich diversity, and not just of flowering plants. Twenty thousand species of bee are responsible for the continued survival of the angiosperms, which includes a very long list of fruit and vegetables from pumpkins, plums and peas to cherries, cucumbers and cocoa.
What about herbivory and carnivory? Ecology really doesn't get much more basic than this. The light energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy and the plants – the producers – that carry out this astonishing transformation are fed on by primary consumers – the herbivores. They in turn are eaten by secondary consumers – the carnivores.
But what does these jobs? It may come as a surprise to many that all the heaving, snorting herds of grazing ungulates are entirely 'out-munched', perhaps by a factor of ten to one, by myriads of tiny mandibles. What about the meat-eaters? Again, insects consume many times more animal flesh than all vertebrate carnivores
put together and ants alone are the major carnivorous species in any habitat you could mention.
If this sounds implausible, consider that although insects are individually small, there are an awful lot of them – an estimated ten million, million, million (1019) with an impressively large biomass. Insects are also the major food source for countless species. Many trillions of insects a year are eaten by birds and bats and a whole bestiary of other furry and feathery creatures. Space prevents me from extolling the role of insects in global decomposition and nutrient recycling.
But there is a problem looming – the first effects of which we are already feeling. Almost every study that has been done to date points to a steady decline in insect species richness and abundance. The loss of natural habitat and the prodigious amounts of pesticides used in agriculture are taking their toll. The decreases seen in well-studied insect groups such as bees and butterflies are surely taking place in many other groups as well. At what point does the web of life become so frayed that it starts to disintegrate? We may find out sooner rather than later.
"Our planet could lose more than half of all its living species in the time it takes for a tiny acorn to become a veteran oak tree"
It is thought that the world's tropical forests hold more than half of all extant species. If these complex habitats are being felled and degraded at even the slowest rate that has been suggested, it will still only be a matter of a few hundred years before they are lost. It is therefore an inescapable conclusion that our planet could lose more than half of all its living species in the time it takes for a tiny acorn to become a veteran oak tree.
Should we be worried? Well, it all depends on your point of view. Ninety-nine per cent of all species that have ever lived on Earth are extinct and it was the occurrence of numerous extinction events that paved the way for the appearance of those creatures that led to human beings. The difference is that now we know enough to do something that might just prolong our own survival.
There's no doubt about it – we are the most intelligent and capable species yet to evolve on Earth. In a very short time since our appearance we covered the entire globe, establishing colonies wherever it was possible to survive. A few of us have walked on the surface of the moon and visited the deepest abysses of the oceans. We spend vast sums of money to probe the very make-up of matter and remotely examine other parts of our solar system. We want to understand the science of everything from the infinitesimally small to the astronomically large. This truly is 'big' science and of course it's expensive. But do we have to do it right now? What about understanding the biosphere a bit better? Perhaps what we actually need is bit more 'bug' science.

| 10.5°C Belfast
Until now, discarded drinks cartons collected by Bryson Recycling in kerbside schemes in Newtownabbey, Ballymena and Carrickfergus have been shipped to Sweden for reprocessing.
Now, Bryson Recycling will send its bales of beverage cartons to a new plant at Stainland in West Yorkshire - the UK's only beverage carton reprocessing plant.
Northern Ireland's leading recycling group has become the first customer of the new recycling plant, which is being set up following an agreement between the Alliance for Beverage Cartons -amp; the Environment (ACE) UK and paper and packaging producer Sonoco Alcore.
When the new plant becomes operational in early 2013, there will be potential to create an innovative logistics scenario.
Lorries which are used to transport coreboard from the Sonoco Alcore mill in West Yorkshire to its converting factory in Lurgan could be backloaded with used beverage carton bales from the Bryson Recycling MRF for reprocessing back at the Stainland plant, significantly reducing transport impacts.
Eric Randall, director at Bryson Recycling, said: "The ability to reprocess beverage cartons in the UK is great news for us and our local authority partners. At the heart of everything we do is the triple bottom line approach: social responsibility, environmental sustainability and economic viability. Our agreement with ACE UK and Sonoco Alcore puts a big tick in all these boxes, so we're delighted to be leading the pack as the first to sign up."

Happy Hour: 4pm - 7pm | Monday - Friday
If you haven't heard of Switchback Ridge, you certainly need to. Whether you're a fan of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, or Merlot, you'll find a vintage that is just right for you at this lovely winery. The history of the winery dates back 100 years and is full of family, hard work, and dedication. That dedication is the reason the location has survived ten decades of industry changes, prohibition, and of course, trend changes.
Switchback Ridge already had established vines on the land when it was purchased nearly one hundred years ago. However, with Prohibition in the air, the Peterson family wisely chose to plant plum orchards in order to sustain their growing family and provide a future for their children that would reap its own harvest over time. Instead of destroying the established vines, they left them, marking some of the best growing blocks on the property in the process.
Fast forward to 1995, years after the matriarch and patriarch of the family had passed, and the three daughters had continued to work the plum orchards and keep them in perfect order. The great-grandchildren took over the operation after the passing of their favorite aunt and one, Kelly Peterson, began to work on a promise she had made.
Thus, with the help of a family friend, the first Petite Sirah was produced by Switchback Ridge, a vintage that had lost interest over time in the region. We're definitely glad she made good on her word as well because that first bottling led to a future of winemaking that has reached great heights.
That first wine was so well-received that it led to others. The terroir of Switchback Ridge is perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and the lovely Petite Sirah that started it all. Each of their wines features notes that truly distinguish them as premium wines. From the bold Merlot, rich in flavor and substance, to the distinguished Petite Sirah that is not only a powerhouse right after bottling, but also holds its own for up to 25 years after bottling, the quality found at Switchback Ridge is undeniable.
We hope you get a chance to try one of the vintages of this ageless winery, as we want you to have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history like we did. Be sure to pay them a visit, as the experience will leave you feeling as if you've stepped back in time, to an era where powerful and engaging wines were at the top of everyone's list.

Fansack, famous young graffiti artist, was born in Chengdu in 1988. He began to paint on the street of numerous cities in China with other rare street artists from the year 2003. In 2008, Fansack arrived in France to continue his study of statuary art, and is now living and working in Paris.
In 1957, the most influential, prominent and controversial French artist – Yves Klein succeeded in experimenting a new substance, which according to him, is "blurring out the edge between the earth and the sky, eliminating horizon, as a pure meditating blue", with the assistance of a chemical technician – Édouard Adam. He exhibited this substance in Milan, and received great responses, after that this color is named as International Klein Blue (IKB). The invention of IKB is a revolution of pigments. The bold, edgy spirit behind it is corresponding perfectly with extravagant graffiti art.
Fansack not only loves "blue", but also is skillful to use "blue". He paints the characters into blue in order to express a sense of calming and generosity, which became his unique art language. With years of experience painting on public walls, the artist has a stable ability to control the arrangement of colors and image orders on large-scale paintings, there are not many interior artists who can create paintings that have greater atmosphere than Fansacks'.
Same as other city artists, Fansack has a keen and intense painting perspective. He devotes himself to art expression, meanwhile inserts his views about sensitive topics such as politics, economy, philosophy, religion, and etc. within the process of blue evolution, Fansack wishes to discuss about the evolution of "worship" in human development.
In ancient world, most of the general public were struggling in poverty and despair, therefore, they attach their hope to the next cycle of life or Heaven, and thus believe in gods. After a period, religions were made use by rulers to strengthen their ruling power. Recent centuries, the personality cult appeared to be gradually common in the world. Just like worshiping people among them who preserved great "god – given" potential, it was spread by mass media; they idealize, heroize, or even deify rulers' public images, for political purposes. For instance, Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union Raúl Castro from Cuba, the King's Family in North Korea, etc.
Current times, the high level of technology gives human great sense of security, thus technology also became a sort of religion to be worshiped; meanwhile, with the development of globalization, the theory that "money is above all" took more and more people, they worship wealth to an extreme level. The "golden combination" of technology and wealth continually exist as an unbreakable group.
The artist drew from the most topical the Kings' family to the shinny worship of wealth; from the silent Buddhism to the boundless universe. He intends to have conversation about the worship habit in ideology and the related God images. At the end of exhibition, audience will remind calm and satisfy in the artist hand-write Buddhism classic – The heart Sutra. Casting off the anxiety of lust and blind worship, going back to the true "me", perhaps only in this way, can we earn the clear mind eventually.

Ray Evernham Quotes
12 Ray Evernham quotes:
"If you finish 43rd and the other guys finish in the 20s, there's still a lot of cars separating you. If you want it to come down to where all 10 guys have a shot, then it would be great to just be racing 10 guys."
"We've just missed it aerodynamically with the new body on this car,"
"The biggest difference between an athlete like Michael Jordan or someone we always compare Jeff to is the fact that those guys can rely largely on their athletic ability. In our world, no matter how good your athletic ability or your driving ability, you still depend largely on whether you've got the car to get the job done."
"I knew she wasn't just a good lady driver, this girl was a great race car driver, ... she was very hungry to do more, somewhat impatient, hence the name `fiery redhead.' She would constantly grab me by the shirt and say, `Dad,' as she calls me, `when are we going to race some more?"
"I can't ever remember him not responding in a clutch situation. He's what I call a big-money player. Whenever there was a big challenge or big money on the line he would seem to step up."
"We're excited about the opportunity to work with Scott Riggs,"
"Erin is a very special person and we've seen her display great talent behind the wheel of a stock car this year in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. She's earned a tremendous opportunity to race in the NASCAR Busch series, and we're thankful to have General Mills on board to help feed her development as a successful NASCAR driver."
"Most of the sponsors and partners you deal with are interested in what your Joyce Julius television numbers are, what your number of impressions are,"
"He's had some bad luck, and now, people are unhappy. I guess that's to be expected."
"The Charger we believe still has a lot more potential in it than the Intrepid."
"We are already planning for next year, and we recognize that we need to make several changes to regain the momentum this team had earlier in the year and to ensure we have the right people in the right places to win races and a championship."
"Erin was beating up on me before and I said, `There's two people you never beat up on -- your owner and your spotter -- and you just beat up on both of them,'"

These findings suggest that regulators, audit committees, and other stakeholders should consider ways to improve IAF quality, specifically IAF competence, and IAFs improve corporate governance by assisting audit committees in monitoring management. This study provides empirical evidence consistent with the proposition that IAF quality and competence deter management misconduct. IAF quality and, particularly, IAF competence are important in deterring observable instances of management misconduct, both accounting- and nonaccounting-related. These findings are important because in the early 2000s, regulators responded to public outcry over observable management misconduct, yet IAF quality was largely left out of the regulatory debate and reforms that followed.
Ege, M. S. 2015. Does Internal Audit Function Quality Deter Management Misconduct? Accounting Review 90 (2): 495-527.
This study examines the relation between internal audit function (IAF) quality, as defined by standard-setters, and the likelihood of management misconduct, such as financial reporting fraud, bribery, and misleading disclosure practices. Standard-setters posit that IAFs serve as a key resource to audit committees for monitoring senior management and that high-quality IAFs deter management misconduct. However, U.S. regulators do not enforce IAF quality or require disclosures relating to IAF quality. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed requirements to increase IAF quality by adding the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the internal auditor to audit committee responsibilities, but these proposed requirements were abandoned. Ten years later, after withdrawing its recent proposal to require high-quality IAFs, NASDAQ is considering how to revise the proposed rules. These proposals demonstrate the need for evidence regarding whether IAF quality results in improved monitoring of management.
This study informs standard-setters, regulators, audit committees, and shareholders about whether IAF quality deters management misconduct incrementally to other monitors.
The author obtained the initial sample from the Institute of Internal Auditors' proprietary Global Auditing and gathered additional information from COMPUSTAT. The final sample covers 1,398 firm-years representing 617 unique firms from 2000 through 2009. The management misconduct sample comes from four data sources: the Federal Securities Regulation Database, the Stanford Securities Class Action Clearinghouse, SEC's website and the Department of Justice website.
The author finds a negative relation between IAF quality and management misconduct, even after controlling for other determinants of misconduct, including board of director, audit committee, and external auditor quality. This effect is economically significant, as a firm with IAF quality one standard deviation above the mean is approximately 2.3 percentage points less likely to have management misconduct than a firm with average IAF quality. This is approximately 29.5 percent of the 7.7 percent unconditional probability of management misconduct. Further analysis reveals that IAF competence, but not objectivity, is negatively related to the likelihood of management misconduct, suggesting that IAF competence is important in deterring management misconduct.
Misconduct firms have low IAF quality and IAF competence during misconduct years as compared to a matched sample of firms. Then, in post-misconduct years, misconduct firms increase IAF quality through IAF competence. This increase in competence is due to hiring more certified internal auditors and increasing training. However, misconduct firms do not appear to have lower IAF objectivity during or after misconduct years compared to a matched sample. These results are consistent with the proposition from standard-setters that IAFs serve as a key resource for audit committees in monitoring management.
The findings suggest that high-quality IAFs are effective at deterring both types of management misconduct. Disclosures related to IAF quality would assist stakeholders in predicting accounting-related management misconduct.

Be yourself. Be a Jayhawk!
Posted on Nov 27, 2017 in Alumni News, Career/Life, and News
The Jayhawk Career Network event on Monday, Nov. 27, allowed students access to real-world insight from Portia Kibble Smith, c'78, and Mark Mears, j'84. Putting your best foot forward was a common theme as both guest speakers brought to light what really counts when networking.
Just be yourself
When it comes to networking and interview preparation, the best advice is to simply be yourself. For some, that might be easier said than done. To be the most authentic and best version of yourself, you must first know who you are.
Mark Mears, j'84, stressed the importance of taking personality tests when preparing for interviews. When he spoke recently with KU students, Mears revealed, "your resume tells part of the story." He believes grounding yourself in who you are helps show future employers the other part.
"None of the personality results are bad," he said. Instead, these tests show who you really are, not necessarily who you think you are.
Whether it's a DISC or a Myers-Briggs, these tests highlight your strengths. KU's University Career Center even offers various assessments. Once you have a sense of who you are, you can understand how you work in a team setting and what you bring to the table.
Are you a leader? Do you work well under pressure? Do you try to keep the peace? Whatever your strength, remain true to whatever makes you "you."

By Year 3 Teacher, Gemma Brown
I remember getting the phone call, I was 4 interviews down – please, please, pleeeeaassseee let this be it. Then I heard 'we would like to offer you a teaching position' – I literally jumped up and down whilst taking the call, I had finally got to where I had always wanted to be. I had got into THE school I had hoped for, I had finally done it.
I was lucky that the SCITT course had finished a couple of weeks before the end of the term. It meant I got to go to my new school and get to know the students and my new colleagues.
Then September arrived.
Fear hit.
I had accepted the challenge of jumping key stages.
What on earth was I doing? Was I going to be good enough? How am I supposed to handle this? What on earth am I supposed to teach them? Who's going to make sure I'm doing it all properly?
Then the bell went on the first day. The children arrived. And they looked at me, in their new pristine uniforms. Waiting. This is it. My moment. Then "Mrs Brown, is that thing on your finger from when I saw you in summer after you crashed the jet ski, fell in the lake and broke it?" – Yes. Yes, it is. Thanks kid. My shining 'finally a teacher' moment.
To be fair, this has gained me some brownie points with my class, that and introducing them to the game '2 truths and a lie' and getting them to 'dab' when they hear a fronted adverbial in a piece of writing, (how else are you supposed to get them to enjoy recognising fronted adverbials?)
Almost a month in now and I feel like I belong. I would do anything for the children in that class. The pride I feel when I see that light bulb switch on from something I have taught them. That is the moment I am in this for. That high 5 in the classroom when another smiley face is on the behaviour chart, designed by me and the student. I have found my work/life balance. Something I worried about a lot throughout my training.
I have an AMAZING team around me, the support is phenomenal. I feel very lucky to be where I am.
But I do feel like I may never shake off the title of being the teacher who crashed a jet ski.
– Mrs Brown. (high-fiving, dabbing, Year 3 teacher)

Shark Tank Success - Buzzy For Shots on Shark Tank
Buzzy featured on SharkTankSuccess Blog.
" Let's face it, getting a shot really sucks. It's bad enough for adults, but just the site of a needle and the painful experiences from the past, is enough to terrify little kids into never wanting to visit the Doctors office again. I learned first-hand just exactly how real this fear is when one day I had to take one of my Boy's to the Doctors. Everything was going fine until the Nurse said he needed a shot to update his School records. I could instantly see a fear come over him after the last time he experienced several shots of unpleasant pain and immediately started to convince me he didn't need another one."

Now, before I rant, I am a huge Ferrari fan and would defend till death, but this is just BS.
Basically, the guts of the story is that the Australia\NZ imports of Fiats are going to be selling the Fiat Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari thru the Ferrari Dealers, so CCS in Auckland here in NZ, and I suppose the Ferrari dealers in Australia too.
It will be to order only
The Fiat 500 Abarth Esseesse has just gone on sale here, and I saw one the other day for sale at around NZD 48-50K in Wellington.
So, if the Tributo makes it too NZ, current exchange rates have it at NZD $108,000.00. Seems a bit steep for a 500.
Now, having a look through my archives, I got some pics of this thing, and on the outside I count 3 Ferrari logos and 1 inside.
So a rough $15000 per Ferrari logo.
Who in there right mind would pay that for a Fiat?
Just because a small Fiat has 4 badges with the Ferrari name on them, not the badge, that commands a 50K price hike over the standard 500 Abarth Esseesse

Let me introduce myself. I'm Joseph Maximus Browne. You'll find that my feet are planted in two cultures – the fast-paced American lifestyle of New York City where I live now, and the Caribbean island homeland of my father, where I grew up.
By the age of twelve, I had already visited every parish, district and community in Grenada including the islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique under the "Meet the People Tour" programs. There I witnessed firsthand how good families struggled to cope with the costs of living and needed a helping hand.
My father was employed by the Grenadian government as a movie projector technician and public address system technician, and I was fortunate enough to also have been employed by the "Government Broadcasting Unit" to perform the same duties as my father, and I appreciate having worked side by side with my father and learned from him. I've also experienced the legal side of life where I was a witness to a crime and had to appear in court. From those formative years, I developed a strong sense of taking the initiative, being a team player and knowing that the rewards of hard work and determination put one 'ahead of the game.'
I completed my education in the USA. Within three months of my enrolment in school, I was promoted from 7th to 9th grade. After high school, I studied Electrical Engineering for about a year, and during that time I learned something that would change my life – electrical engineering was NOT for me!
Instead, I travelled to broad my horizons even further. As I listened to the people I met, I felt compelled to help them find solutions to the problems they faced. During this time, I discovered that I excelled at not only creating but also actualizing innovative ideas that helped people lead better lives.
I kicked off my first business venture in 1982, and later invented a product called Maximus System/2 in 1995. That same year I competed in a show called Inpex (recognized worldwide) and won Best Innovation in Safety/Security. The following year I was invited to Hungary for the 100th year anniversary for Inventors of Hungary. Two years later I invented another product called Easy to Reach and had a patent pending.
My next innovation was Koowi, which began as a small, home-based business and has grown into a far-reaching service company. I coined the word Koowi, which means quick, by combining parts of two words. The name is now patent and trademarked, and although Koowi was originally associated with heating, the company has diversified.
Since childhood, I have always been passionate about helping people and this desire has been my driving force to be successful in helping people live the life they want and deserve to lead.

August 13th
Dear Journal,
I don't think that Kae was too thrilled with me last night because I was in one of those moods where if one drink sounded good, a whole bunch them sounded like the top of the world. I know that I didn't have to go far to get a drink either because we keep some at the farm.
So, last night I sat on the steps at the farmhouse and watched the stars well into the night. I was just letting my mind run free and enjoying the beauty of the place. I don't think that many people realize how beautiful Pandaria can be if you push the thoughts of the war aside and concentrate on how the land looks. It's absolutely beautiful and not a place that I plan on leaving soon or staying away from when I do leave.
I know that I haven't been any happier anywhere else on the places that I have visited in Azeroth. Here in Pandaria I have learned to accept myself for who and what I am without having to continue to suffer through the angst of being different all of the time. Of course, going back to the Sentinel camp always throws me back into the reality of things, however, that is usually pretty short-lived.
On my last trip to Stormwind, I was able to get my hands on some of the brandy that my Father likes and I can honestly say that I know now why he liked it so much. It's very smooth going down and a bit sneaky in fogging up your brain – not the taste that I am accustomed too while drinking the brews from Ironforge nor the brews that they make here in Pandaria. Plus, I did something that I don't often do and that is to smoke a cigarette similar to the ones that my Dad always smokes, however, I know that his have felweed laced in them sometimes. The ones that I have don't have anything added to them.
I do know that I woke up with a headache this morning and my mouth tasted like I had been chewing on an old leather boot. It was awful, however, I got little sympathy from my beloved Sentinel.
I know that getting a letter from my Mother yesterday kind of kicked the whole thing off. She was talking about getting better and how she was going to start running the business again in Stormwind to help the war effort as well as something to keep her occupied instead of staying in Dolonaar with the little guys and my grandparents. She didn't come right out and say it, however, I could read between the lines that she wanted to me to join her in Stormwind. I don't know that I am ready to go back completely to that life again. I have learned so much here in Pandaria that I don't want to leave all of this behind and go back to where I started.
Kae still hasn't decided if she is going to leave the Sentinels and I am staying on as a scout until she can make her decision. I just don't want to be away from her and I don't want her to have to break in another partner when she is out on patrols.
Yes, we're still patrolling as we always have although I will have to admit that it doesn't seem to be as dangerous as it was a few months ago. The Horde seems to be thinning out and we are going further afield to see where they are these days. I don't think that they are getting in very many reinforcements for the war here in Pandaria and the ones that are here don't have the fire in their bellies like they used to have either. One thing I did notice is that there seem to be fewer Orcs roaming around in the bands of patrols like there used to be. I suppose that Hellscream has pulled most of his supporters back to Kalimdor to wage the war against the rebellion. From all of the rumors that I have heard here in Pandaria, I would say that his days are numbered.
I know that I am not as well educated as some of the others, however, I don't think that I have ever read where a leader of a faction has successfully turned all of his people against himself. It sure has been a bizarre change. I know that Kae and I drew the lot to patrol part of Krasarang last week and we did run into a few patrols from the Horde, however, instead of trying to chase us down and kill us, they waved at us and kept going in the opposite direction. How is that a war anymore? I know that Kae and I both kind of stood our ground and waited for them to come back our way to fight, they never came back. How does one write that down for a report to turn into the Commander?
I know that I saw fewer signs of the Rangers being out in the field too. It's almost as if they have been withdrawn to another area. I wonder if they have been pulled back to fight the rebellion in Kalimdor or if something else has happened. I know that I don't think that I have seen a single sign of a hawkstrider in days now. I know that we got very close to the base down there and there did seem to be fewer people there and they didn't seem to be all that intent on getting out in the field again. It almost looked as though they were starting to pack up the camp for a move, however, I have no idea where they are heading. It's almost as if they are waiting for a signal from somewhere to disband.
I know that a lot of us have been wanting the war to slow down and even go away, however, I don't think any of us were expecting things to change this dramatically or this fast. I know I was looking forward to the day when the war was over here in Pandaria and we could start building a more permanent peaceful life, however, I wasn't expecting that to happen for years to come. Oh, I'm not bemoaning the fact that people aren't trying to kill me all of the time, that's kind of nice, it's just feels like someone turned a switch somewhere and the fighting has dwindled down to near nothing.
I think that is what brought on the drinking bout last night. I am not quite ready to step back into my old life again. I don't want to be in the position that I once had where I was sent out with contracts to get this or that item and come back to Stormwind to turn it in. I have gotten very accustomed to doing what Kae and I have been doing here in Pandaria. We grab a few contracts when we are in Stormwind and come back home to gather the products that will fill them. Very relaxed and very free lance. I don't think that I want to go back to the way that it was, I never had any time for myself and it cost me dearly.
No, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed working for my parents, however, it wasn't all that I wanted from life. The money was good and there was always plenty to do and places to go, however, it never seemed like I had time to put down any roots and meet any people. I know that what friendships I had developed in Stormwind did kind of fall to the wayside because I never had the time to spend with them because I was always off working. At least in Pandaria, I have the scouting with the Sentinels, the farm and then, time for Kae – time for me to do some reading, which I dearly love, and then I get to meet some of our neighbors that seem to change from day to day.
I wish there were words that could properly describe how I feel about living in Pandaria and having my own home that I share very willingly with Kae. Sure there are ugly parts of the continent and extremely dangerous areas, however, the sheer beauty and the inner peace that you feel when you have a chance to step back and look around you, taking all of it in, is truly amazing. I think that the only time that I have ever felt this way was when I was able to get into the temple in Darnassus – that is truly a peaceful place.
One of these days I will listen to Kae and not drink as much because it leaves me rather muddle headed most of the time. I think that I am getting those "looks" from Kae right now because she wants to go fishing and maybe get some swimming in today. We don't have to report back to camp for a few days, so, we have some time to just enjoy ourselves.

:: Gowest Gold Signs Letter of Intent for Kidd Operations Mill
Gowest Gold Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with Glencore Xstrata's Kidd Operations, located in Timmins, Ontario. The plan is to refurbish the Division 'D' line of the mill at Kidd Operations to process Gowest's ore into a high-grade (+90 grams per tonne) gold concentrate. The proposed arrangement between the companies significantly reduces the cost and time to commercial production of the Frankfield East gold deposit.
Highlights of the collaboration between Gowest and Glencore Xstrata:
Gowest has completed a detailed concept engineering study for the mill refurbishment and is now advancing detailed mining plans and initiating a feasibility study. A Definitive Agreement is expected in the latter part of 2013.
Gowest is planning to begin commercial production of its Frankfield East gold deposit in 2015.
Gowest President and CEO, Greg Romain, said, "We have achieved an extremely important milestone in our plans to develop our Frankfield East deposit into the next new gold mine in the Timmins Camp. I am confident that, with the expertise and dedication of the team, we will achieve this goal." He added, "The use of the Kidd Operations mill will significantly reduce our capital expenditures and expedite our path to generating cash flow. It is also evidence of Glencore Xstrata's willingness to support the continued development of the Timmins economy."

The best is known for who provide warranty to their customers because there are many companies out there who don't provide the warranty that is the why customers have a trust issue, the company who provide warranty means they care for the customers and value their money. Earning money is not easy, the people who are working day and night to earn the money they know how it is difficult to earn money, when the companies value the customers money it build the strong relationship between the company and customer and this all wants the company that customer trust them and become loyal to them. Many companies provide quality material but the prices are so high that a normal person cannot think about it, but some companies care for the customers and provide quality material in fewer prices as compared to others. Grassman is one the best Australian companies who provide quality turf layers at a less price as compare to others. Grassman provide the one year warranty as well to the customers so that any mishap happens customers contact the company and the company can fix the issue as soon as possible.
Grassman is the turf suppliers since so long, they believe in quality because for them customers satisfaction comes always first. There are mainly into categories one is artificial grass which is turf and other is sports surface, both are the services they provide at reasonable rates.
They have the professional team who perform the entire task which includes artificial grass installation cost and turf restoration in case anything happens because to handle the turf is a bit tricky, if you don't put turf layer perfectly I will get damage.
Having turf layers in your lawn is always the best idea because it doesn't require high maintenance which includes water and chemicals and there are no chances of the pesticide which is the best thing about the turf. For example, you run an office and you have extra space at the back you want to utilize the space but you don't want to invest so much heavy amount, the idea is to get the turf layers and arrange some bench and table chair there for the workers where they can enjoy their lunch and interact with the other employees, this will help the employees and fresh their minds which is beneficial for your company because if they are fresh they give you their 100%.
Turf is the best for your lawn if you have kids and pets at your home and Grassman is always there to provide you with the services you just need to call them and they are one call away.

Expert Advice - When it was needed most!
Hi Raelene,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for all of your loving support & guidance over the last week. Closing an RTO is one of the most stressful experiences I have been through in my ten years as a successful small business owner. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't there every step of the way to ensure that this paper work nightmare was compliant.
I wish I met you when I first started my RTO & was my advisor from the beginning as the last six years would have been far less stressful.
As a niche specialist who has mastered her craft & loves teaching others to follow their passion its my dream job, but wrapping my head around the never ending changing policies of ASQA is definitely not for the faint hearted.
One of the best lessons Ive learnt from this experience is to get the best advisors possible as the wrong advice can cost you thousands of dollars & also leave you feeling lost & confused.
Raelene you are a superstar & a working maniac that doesn't stop until the job is done! I love your commitment to your clients xxx
Your number one RTO fan

An antique wardrobe really has a lot of precense. You could turn it into an entertainment center, use it as an extra closet, or even just try it out as a computer station. This is going to hide away all of your technology. Of course it also works with the basic function of an armoire. It's great if you don't want to interrupt the vintage style of your home. At the same time, this can stay true to the character of your space. When you are working with an older home oftentimes it lacks closet space so these pieces are really what are functional and necessary.
Of course the previous homeowners probably didn't leave them behind for you so you're going to need to figure out ways to bring this in on a budget. This is the perfect kind of solution if you just don't know where to put anything or your room doesn't have a focal point.
These pieces can be very detailed or very simple. It's important to really consider your needs. For instance if you are worried about this dominating your space because often times these pieces are so large then you can just find ways around this. For instance, a lot of times they have mirror fronts on them. This is perfect because mirrors give you a chance to get ready in the morning but at the same time it helps visually expand the space. If you really love the pieces of furniture just figure out different ways to make it work within your space. This may mean that you don't go with a matching set and the rest of your furniture is scaled down but you can still get what is really important to you in your room.
If you are trying to create the look of an antique wardrobe armoire then you're pretty much going to have to go with paint. Often times these kinds of pieces can even be found in exotic wood but if you can't find them at a thrift store, then an antique walnut wardrobe is going to be extremely expensive. These kinds of woods are something that should be treasured and cared for. However, you can turn your existing basic piece into part of this kind of look just by going with a paint and glaze for an aging kind of process. This can also relate to your other furniture for more of a cohesive kind of color palette.
The type of wood is also really important. Really an antique oak wardrobe uses very softer stain finishes which would be extremely difficult to re-create. However, since this is still inexpensive if you're trying to shop at a thrift store, garage sale, or estate sale one of these authentic pieces are the way to go. You might want to go with one of these lesser qualities of wood so that it's still affordable. It's going to look antique because of all the embellishments, and the overall shape and scale of it.
If you get very lucky when shopping then you might be able to pick up an antique mahogany wardrobe. You can really show off the beauty of this and make it the focal point of your room. This could be the only color in your space because it does have such a warm tone. Keep the rest of the pieces elegant but neutral with antique light fixtures, faux silk curtains and a damask fabric. You want the rest of your furniture to really kind of blend into the background because it's not going to hold up to this. A good way to find this is to either search the want ads or be on the lookout for whenever a vintage style home is being renovated. Oftentimes the homeowners will just be so glad to get the pieces out that they really cut down on the cost. If you can haul it away, although this will be a little bit more work for you, it can really pay off in the end and help you stay within a budget.
It is important depending on the type you want to just skip alterations. You may want to do restoration to really clean up the piece. This isn't going to diminish the value. This isn't the kind of thing that you use as a base for DIY projects. Instead, it really needs to be treasured so you should take it to a professional to have any of the defects taken care of and restored. This is kind of the heirloom type of furniture that you can have for generations. You can always use it in a guestroom if you'd like to try out more of a contemporary look in your space but again, this is something that is so difficult to find and come across that it really shouldn't be painted depending on the wood tone. However, since it is your furniture you really can do whatever you want to. Just keep in mind that you'll really be diminishing the value and getting rid of the craftsmanship and the true beauty of mother nature.
There are also different styles of this kind of furniture that will work in a vintage room or a shabby chic design. For instance, it can often have an Art Deco kind of vibe. This is perfect if you want something a little bit simpler or you just don't want that French style that often comes with these kind of pieces. If not just look for kind of the curved lines that are so evocative of these design styles. In fact, it might just have a plain front so the wood tone is really what is going to make it seem very antique. Art Deco style furniture is something that you can often find at different thrift stores so you could use a mix and match kind of approach to things. Keep whatever wood is still in good enough shape to salvage. Sometimes these pieces just have to be painted so it really gives you a cohesive kind of style just because all of the silhouettes are going to be the same even if you do go with a wood and painted kind of look.

I'm a huge bike fan and have been window shopping for my dream town bike for about a year now having been unable to settle on one. When I came across these beautiful personalised bikes called Write a Bike by Juri Zaech, a Swiss Art Director based in Paris, I knew that my search was over and I'd finally found my dream ride. What more could a Travelette want than a bike that combines incredible typography, style, class and pop colours?!
Despite the fact that these bikes are still in prototype mode I've got my name first on the waiting list for a "Lorna" version in hot pink; without a doubt this is the bicycle that will make me the most enviable Travelette around! Meanwhile I'm on the hunt for my Mr Travelette so we can also get the tandem…

S. Korean ruling party chief offers to exit amid hacking scandal

SEOUL, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) — South Korea's ruling party chairman Hong Joon-pyo offered to resign Friday over a cyber attack orchestrated by an aide to one of the conservative party's lawmakers.
"I thought it would be meaningless to keep the post," Hong said at a press conference as he announced his exit.
The move comes after police concluded the distributed denial-of- service (DDoS) attacks on the election watchdog's website on the day of by-elections in October was masterminded solely a 27-year- old aide to Choi Ku-sik of the ruling Grand National Party.
The aide, surnamed Kong, also admitted to orchestrating a similar cyber attack on the website of Park Won-soon, who was elected Seoul mayor in the Oct. 26 elections.
The hacking shut down both websites for two hours, preventing voters from looking up polling stations on the National Election Commission's website.
The ruling party has denied its involvement in the incident, but public skepticism has not died down.
Hong's resignation offer also came two days after three of the party's Supreme Council members announced they will leave the party, voicing discontent over the party's failure to shed its image as a party for the haves.
The three reform-minded lawmakers, Won Hee-ryong, Yoo Seong-min and Nam Kyung-pil, said the ruling party should dismantle the establishment and fundamentally refashion itself.
The series of events may bring former chairwoman Park Geun-hye back at the helm of the beleaguered party, as the daughter of former leader Park Chung-hee remains the strongest contender for the 2012 presidential election.
Media reports say Park will most likely head an ad hoc emergency committee to fill the leadership void.

Ok not that type of (romantic) relationship…
A little over a year ago I started working for a test prep company as a faculty manager. Prior to that I'd never worked at an education company so the learning curve was steep for me initially. Fortunately I didn't have to tutor students (not my role or skill set), instead I managed a team of 30 tutors remotely.
Being immersed in a new industry you learn the lingo quickly, but one thing never clicked for me while I was there: why do we care more about sales than people?
I get it — the difference between a business and a hobby is profit made, but the lifetime worth (loyal customers) and tutor retention make or break your company.
What my former company saw as the "why" was much different than what I believed it was: relationships.
Without great tutors and customers you have no business.
After I decided to leave one motto stuck in my head: if you take care of your people, they will take care of your customers.
That's why months after starting my own online tutoring company I know I'm in the relationship business.
Truth be told, market research is important, but in a service industry people come first. Being in a relationship-driven business it takes time to grow. That means no overnight contracts, quick sales or cutting corners. Each interaction matters.
Once your sales strategy is determined you stay committed to it and live with the results (pivot over time if needed).
Part of creating and strengthening a working relationship is transparency and vulnerability. Although it sounds risky, it actually attracts the type of person who aligns with your vision.
When it comes to test prep (SAT/ACT) competency is the qualifier (if you don't know the content, you can't teach it), but the chemistry between the tutor-student is what determines how successful the results are.
That's why as a parent previewing the tutor ahead of time makes the biggest difference. It's why we offer a free 30 minute video meet and greet with student, tutor and parent before committing. We put our money where our mouth is.
What we're selling isn't really knowledge…it's a relationship.

I Tried it: Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Mattifying Primer
I am perpetually shiny. It doesn't matter what I do or what products I use, my skin is just shiny. Yes, the "dewy skin trend" has really worked in my favor, but when I came across this Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer Mattifying Primer, I questioned my newfound allegiance to my "naturally glowy" look.
Upon initial application, I was a bit nervous. The formula seems almost sticky at first and definitely not as smooth as my favorite gel-based primers. But after applying my liquid foundation, I was officially a convert. This primer kept my skin matte through hours of dancing and after a whole day at the office. The only explanation I can think of to explain this phenomenon: magic. While I've only been using this product for a few days, I'm hooked.
If shiny skin isn't your issue, Make Up For Ever has a handful of other primers that promise to smooth, hydrate, nourish, and correct redness.

Japan's car manufacturing company Toyota Motor will be investing US$1 billion into Singapore-headquartered ride-sharing app Grab, according to a report by CNBC.
Two companies will be expanding on their existing partnership and explore new mobility strategies across the region, Grab said.
One executive from Toyota will be appointed to Grab's board of directors, and a team member from the Japanese will become an executive officer in Grab.
According to the ride-hailing company, the investment by Toyota is the largest ever by an automotive manufacturer in the ride-hailing sector. It aims to allow the Grab to expand its range of online-to-offline services, such as food delivery and electronic payments in the region.
"As a global leader in the automotive industry, Toyota's investment in Grab is based on their conviction in our leadership in driving the adoption of new mobility solutions and expanding [online-to-offline] mobile services, such as GrabFood and GrabPay, in the region," Ming Maa, President of Grab, said.
The investment will also allow Toyota to further integrate its services such as user-based insurance and predictive maintenance with Grab. That could act as an incentive for drivers to drive more safely to enjoy lower insurance premiums.
"Going forward, together with Grab, we will develop services that are more attractive, safe and secure for our customers in Southeast Asia," said Shigeki Tomoyama, Toyota executive vice president.

Free Mom Hugs, LGBT, LGBTQ, Mama Bear Story Project, Mama Bears, Moms of LGBT, Moms of LGBTQ Kids, Story
The Mama Bear Story Project is a collection of portraits and autobiographical essays from members of Serendipitydodah for Moms – Home of the Mama Bears
When I was a child, my mother called me "Goose," I am certain now more than ever this was because of my natural ability to put my nose into other people's business. I needed to know what was going on, if everyone was ok, and most importantly when we could all get together again. Community was everything to me then, and it certainly is my focus every day now.
My Journey to becoming an ally began with the words from my child, "Mom I've met someone, and I need you to be okay about it." I didn't take the news very well, and I said and did some things I regret even to this day.
I had to re-examine my religion as it suggested that I needed to choose between my faith and my child. I discovered, with the help of some others who came alongside me, that what I believed about LGBTQIA+ people came from a few verses in the Bible that had been misinterpreted and misunderstood. From there, my journey went from the church to the local pride parade wearing a homemade button and offering Free Mom Hugs or High Fives.
I wasn't the first mom to show up at a Pride Parade offering love and hope and hugs, but I did create a non-profit based on that experience. After my post about being a stand-in mom at same-sex weddings went viral; what we have seen has been a movement of love and celebration for the LGBTQIA+ Community.
It has been the most amazing gift dropped in our laps as far as getting the message out to moms, dads, educators, and churches that NOW is the time to get educated, to step out of fear and ignorance and come out of their own closets to speak out on behalf of their children.
But what has been even more beautiful is the community, the connection and healing that is taking place in the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth and adults due to the thousands of compassionate, empowered people who are responding and offering support, birthday cards, words of affirmation, homemade blankets, and other simple but very important small gestures such as referring to a transgender person by their chosen name.
We also recently had a follower on Instagram post about their 11-year-old child who attempted suicide because of intense scrutiny and bullying from family and school. We noticed the post and got our group of "Mama Bears to the Rescue" their address and when the young girl came home from the hospital, she was surprised by dozens of cards, stuffed animals and blankets from Mamas all across the country. These small acts of kindness, this kind of loving presence in the life of that child and her Mama delivered a message of love and hope that was life-changing for them.
This is where we are going Beyond The Hug. We are supporting homeless youth with Free Mom Hugs Hoodies. We are helping our transgender friends fund legal fees for gender name changes, emotional and financial support after top- surgeries; we travel to small-town colleges and encourage their GSA's. We are educating on behalf of our communities in schools and in the workplace. We are advocating on behalf of mental health awareness, ending workplace discrimination, and putting an end to once and for all the mental abuse that is conversion therapy.
So many young LGBTQIA+ people are hurting from family rejection and rigid religious beliefs. We may not be able to solve most problems – but one thing we can all do is be a loving presence in the life of LGBTQIA+ people. Anyone reading this can send a card, speak words of affirmation, get together with someone for a coffee, give a small gift, use someone's chosen name, give a hug. These are things we can all do.
My hope is that my journey will inspire all of you to want to be a loving presence in the life of LGBTQIA+ people.
Together I believe we can change the world, so it is a kinder, safer, more loving place for all people to live.
Love wins. Hugs and high fives help too.

I am using QwtPolarMagnifier for zooming in on my plot. As I am getting a huge amount of data through Wifi, my window keeps getting slower and there is lagging while zooming. I have implemented the QwtPolarMagnifier exactly as the polardemo example. I have threading for some of the processes. AS i cannot remove any objects from main screen. Can you help me find a way to zoom better?
I also saw about QwtPlotZoomer which has a maximum stack depth. Is there anything like that in QwtPolarMagnifier?

Essex Rivers Hub
Improve management of bankside habitat
This area is a public footpath on the north bank and an area of housing on the south bank. This is a nice public walkway. The north bank has good bankside vegetation and the channel has lots of reed and other aquatic plants.
On the south bank the residential gardens extend to the river edge and the grass is kept very short and there are no marginal plants typical of a river habitat found here. If would be nice to work with the home owners to see if they are willing to alter their management of the bankside margins to allow more river based species to develop and change the cutting regime so it isn't cut as often.

|The English robin heralds the Christmas season
One of the first things we bought after moving here in 1996 was a bird identification book. We were fascinated by the many small songbirds but only recognized a few. I remember watching this large brown bird with a red chest strutting its stuff on the grass then laughing when I read that it was just an American Robin! (The English robin is small, cute and fluffy; trust the Americans to have to do everything bigger and better…).
|The big brother! (American robin)
Birds bring life to a garden as they flit amongst the bushes and I always design gardens to include sources of food and shelter for them, especially during the winter. Bird feeders are wonderful and suet blocks can be used to attract woodpeckers which would otherwise only be seen on trees drilling for insects. However bird seed can also attract unwelcome visitors such as squirrels, rats and even bears (one local home owners association has banned bird feeders for this very reason) so I prefer to think of these as supplemental to providing natural foods.
We are all familiar with the idea of leaving the seed heads of ornamental grasses and perennials such as black-eyed Susan's (Rudbeckia sp) for the birds to enjoy, but in a small garden these can quickly become unsightly so may not be ideal. Here are a few ideas which can be adapted to our winter gardens ranging from containers to the larger, wilder landscape.
|Barberries 'Helmond's pillar' & 'orange nugget' together with blue star juniper
form a great backbone for these containers year round (my design)
Barberries – these thorny, mostly deciduous shrubs are available in shades of green, orange and gold as well as the more familiar purple. From 18" mounds to 5' fountains you are sure to find a variety which works for and enhances your color scheme yet fits the space available. The thicket of branches provides good shelter and nesting habitat while robins, waxwings and juncos enjoy the small, shiny red berries.
|Parney cotoneaster
There are many varieties of Cotoneaster from upright evergreen shrubs to deciduous groundcovers, but all have an abundance of red berries which last well into winter. Rock cotoneaster (Cotoneaster horizontalis) looks striking with its distinct herringbone branches splayed against a stone wall or boulder while the evergreen Parney cotoneaster (Cotoneaster lacteus) forms a 6' loose fountain, laden with flowers in summer and clusters of red berries in winter. Finches, towhees and other fruit eating birds enjoy the berries, with robins considering those on the latter variety as pure caviar!
In larger, wilder landscapes the
Pacific Northwest native Oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor) is a useful shrub to transition from more cultivated areas to the woods beyond. It blooms profusely in summer with frothy white flowers and the twiggy growth provides songbirds with good cover. In winter insectivorous birds such as chickadees and the gymnastic bushtits forage for insects.
|'Charity' Oregon grape
The evergreen Oregon grape 'Charity' (Mahonia x media) provides bold structure to the garden with glossy holly-like leaves and fragrant, bright yellow, shuttlecock shaped flowers in winter which the hummingbirds love. These are followed by rich purple berries in summer, providing food for robins, waxwings and towhees with juncos and sparrows enjoying those fruit which fall to the ground. This shrub adapts well to container culture, can be grown as a barrier or hedge or used as a specimen shrub, perhaps underplanted with a carpet of the yellow flowering winter aconite (Eranthis). These bulbs quickly naturalize and bring a welcome splash of color in January.
Many conifers provide seeds and fruit for evening grosbeak, nuthatches, pine siskin as well as shelter. Junipers are particularly favored and there are many species and varieties available from the low growing, richly hued 'blue star' (Juniperus squamata) to the columnar 'blue arrow' (J. virginiana) and vibrant 'sea of gold' (J. x pfitzeriana 'MonSan') which grows 3' tall and 4' wide. Blue star is especially effective in containers and looks wonderful when combined with purple and orange (see photo above) or burgundy and white.
To get more ideas on how to select and maintain plants that fulfill wildlife needs I recommend the book 'Landscaping for Wildlife in the
Pacific Northwest' by Russell Link which discusses everything from stewardship for wildlife habitat, to attracting butterflies and creating hedgerows.
Get out your binoculars and enjoy your winter companions.
