It's May! At last, in New Hampshire, flowers are starting to bloom. The trees are changing colors–light greens and yellows, deep reds, are starting to emerge in the vast forests along the interstate. It's the time of year to be out in nature, to rejoice in the sunshine and the promise of warmth. It's also a time when it's easy to get distracted from your financial goals, to let the warmth and ease of summer melt away the self-discipline and resolve needed to make it through winter. (Figurative winter, we're talking about. Spring is a time, apparently, when I wax poetic).
There are about six weeks left for me in the school year, and I've begun to reflect on this past few months as summer approaches. Professionally, it's been a great year.
I don't feel like such a novice teacher anymore, since I'm now in my second year as an ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher. I've been teaching at two school districts for the past few months, which is a good thing, since we've been getting estimates for replacing our roof, and it won't be cheap. I have, however, spent increasing amounts of time on my iPhone. I bought a used iPhone 6 on eBay at Christmastime, and I scroll through it a lot.
On days when I make a conscious effort to plug my phone in and not look at it, I've noticed several things happening: one, I hang out with my family more. Games, fort-building, and the like. This doesn't always happen. Sometimes I'm tired and I just sit in a chair counting down the minutes 'til bedtime. But if I put my phone away after I get home from work, which happens to be when the kids get home from school, I'm better able to focus on the stories of their days, might be convinced to play Uno or take a walk.
Also when I don't scroll through my phone before bed, I can read, and am more likely to finish a hard book. For some reason, I picked up Reality is Not What it Seems at the library. It's a "layman's guide" to quantum physics. Ok, that is not exactly strengthening my argument, is it? I also sleep better, which is the real advantage, and I tend to go to bed earlier (for what should now be obvious reasons–contemplating the bend in space-time is apparently a real snoozer).
As I talked about in my last post, having access to so much information creates information paralysis. We have so many articles, opinions, news stories, and just plain access, that we are in a near-constant state of information overload.
Our brains can't process all that information at such a rapid pace.
For many of us, who work in office places, the amount of emails we receive in a day is mind-boggling. I personally receive around fifty emails per day from three email accounts, most of which are "To All Staff" emails, marketing emails, or otherwise don't pertain to me. Mr. ThreeYear probably receives 50-75 daily emails that do pertain to him and his team. That's a monstrous amount of writing, information, and decisions to read and process. We need a break from that information stream.
Also, when we put our phones away, we can benefit from being more present. The Guardian's Oliver Burkeman describes how as we age, time seems to speed up because we have less novel experiences and so we pay less attention.
That's one of the reasons I like travel so much. The seven days we just spent at the beach seem like much longer than a week because everything we were doing was new and different and so I remember it more vividly. Burkeman poses a question in his article, "what if you could increase the attention you paid to every moment, no matter how humdrum?" If we can do this, it will seem as if we have more time.
It would definitely be awesome to feel like time wasn't flying away from me at quite so rapid a pace, and for me to notice all the cute/hilarious stuff my kids won't be doing for very many more years.
So Are You Really Dropping Your Phone in the Toilet?
To help me with my goal of combatting information overload, and being more present, I am going to adopt the following practices for the month of May.
I'm not actually going to drop my phone in the toilet, of course, although that takes me back to the days of First Born Three Year, who dropped my Blackberry not once, but twice, in our commode (yes, it somehow miraculously survived the first drop. Rice works). It's a figurative toilet dunk:
- Limit social media to before 3pm. (Sometimes, I need to be on social media for reasons that don't have to do with zoning out , like promoting the blog, for example, so I need to build space into the day to do that). After 3pm, I'll plug my phone in its charger and leave it alone. Out of sight, out of mind.
- Put my charger in my office, not my bedroom. That means iPad and iPhone now live beside my desk, not my bed, therefore (hopefully) removing the temptation to mindlessly scroll. This creates a small problem, of not having an alarm clock. But I'm going to borrow my son's robot alarm clock that he doesn't use and try that.
- Go to the library regularly. Gotta get myself some good reading material in a regular fashion. And let's face it; sometimes, I'm not going to want to read about Quantum Mechanics, so I need to have some "junk" books to read, too.
That's the plan for May! I still don't have a plan to limit my scrolling during doctor's visits and the like, but if I can tackle the big, end-of-the-day brain suck, I can give myself a little mindless scrolling while at the doctor's. And hopefully quiet down some of the noise in my life this month.
Ok, readers, I'd love to hear from you. What's the hardest part for you about electronics? How do you manage your devices?

Panicking about Christmas Day lunch? Perfect's Paul Merrett shares his top tips for hosting the festivities. Follow these 4 easy steps to a stress-free and enjoyable Christmas Day.
1) Be prepared
Christmas Day should not begin at 4.30am with a worried cook slaving over the stove
2) Distract your guests
My theory is if my guests eat enough canapés, they may not notice if the turkey is three hours late
3) Keep it simple
The turkey is the centrepiece of the meal and the downfall of most cooks
4) Impress with subtle twists
Ringing the changes with vegetables is a sure way of making out you are a better
Follow fellow Perfect Chef Matt Tebbutt's guide to a stress-free Christmas

We are all designed as balanced, graceful, and emotionally available human beings.
Somewhere along the way, the stress under which we live has taken a toll on us. We've adapted by compressing our spines and constricting our internal space.
The movement patterns we use all the time define us. Our movement patterns are inextricably linked to our thoughts and actions.
Experience the Alexander Technique and reclaim your natural energy, innate coordination, fullness of breath, and poise.

For most teams, a season-ending injury to arguably the NFL's best receiving tight end would be considered a devastating loss.
But to the Texans, the absence of Owen Daniels may not be all that significant.
Sure, Sunday's come-from-behind, 31-10 romp over Buffalo was tempered with news of Daniels' apparent torn ACL. Yet, at the same time, it's hard to overlook how the Texans (5-3) still managed to post a 21-point road victory - all without Daniels and after handing the Bills (3-5) three moronic turnovers in the first quarter.
Somehow, these Texans appear to have enough talent to survive and flourish - even in spite of the trademark brainfarts and bad luck of the Gary Kubiak era.
"Through adversity, teams get stronger, or they can go the other way," said Kubiak, according to a post-game quotes release from the team. "They went and regrouped and played a tremendous second half."
The offense didn't skip a beat without Daniels, largely because they had a stable of suitable replacements. While Daniels is listed as a tight end, the Texans have had their most success this season when spreading the field and using him as a virtual wide receiver - where his productivity and skills are still good, but certainly replaceable.
In addition, it could be argued that the Texans' most successful run plays this year (before Sunday) also came out of the spread, when defenses were so concerned with the pass that Steve Slaton and Ryan Moats slithered through gaps.
So what does that mean, in the context of losing Daniels? Well, what makes Daniels unique is his receiving skill-set in a tight end's body. But with the way he was used by the Texans this season, his size and ability to block were often irrelevant.
That also makes him easier to replace. Sure, the Texans have underrated veteran tight end Joel Dreessen as well as former Rice standout James Casey, who caught two passes on Sunday in Daniels' absence and will undoubtedly play on a more frequent basis.
But because of how Daniels was used, the Texans should be able to fill his role in a number of sets with the diminutive, sure-handed David Anderson, as well as the explosive Jacoby Jones.
Anderson had three catches for 51 yards Sunday, including a 27-yard catch-and-run to bail the Texans out on a crucial third-and-long in the second quarter when the offense was struggling. Meanwhile, Jones picked up 17 yards on a reverse on the opening drive, then hauled in a 36-yard pass in the third quarter to set up a field goal.
Believe it or not, these aren't the Houston Texans of their entire existence. This group appears to have the depth to survive the adversity of an NFL season. When Daniels went down, Anderson, Jones and Casey all stepped into increased roles on the road and succeeded. When Slaton gave away his league-leading fifth fumble, Moats came in and rushed 23 times for 126 yards and three touchdowns.
It seems likely that Slaton will get another chance in Sunday's huge game against the undefeated Colts, based largely on his big-play ability. But if he falters, the Texans learned Sunday that they have a very suitable alternative in Moats.
Truth be told, Slaton's biggest success in 2009 hasn't been as a running back, where he's carried for only 3.1 yards per attempt and two touchdowns. It's been as a receiver, where he's had more than 300 yards and three touchdowns on nearly 11 yards per catch.
So if his fumbles prove too problematic to remain an every-down back, Kubiak could potentially toy with Slaton as a slot receiver - much the way New Orleans uses Reggie Bush, and perhaps picking up some of the slack in the absence of Daniels.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the mission of the Houston Press. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Houston's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
Even so, Daniels' 40 catches, 519 yards and five touchdowns in seven games will certainly be missed. But for once, the Texans are bigger than merely a collection of individual star pieces.
This is a cohesive and dynamic offensive unit, whose 439 yards without Daniels on Sunday pushed the season average to 374 yards per game, ranking eighth in the league.
Behind that and a rapidly improving defense, the Texans now have a winning record at the halfway point for the first time in franchise history. More impressively, the Texans can finally say as late as November that if the season ended today, they would be in the playoffs.
Let that sink in, and enjoy it. For once, the Texans have a group worthy of getting the benefit of the doubt.

January 22 by Conga
As I alluded to in my last blog, 2018 will be the year that Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes mainstream in the enterprise. You may have made a new year's resolution or you were mandated by your management to introduce AI into the company, but don't know how to get started.
Here are 5 ways to take AI from the academic ivory tower and get started applying it to your organization in 2018:
1: Determine Your Outcome Gaps
We strategize, plan, and execute our business plans, but market conditions evolve and we need to stay ahead. Performing a gap analysis between your desired outcome and your actual business outcome is strategically critical for the success of your Artificial Intelligence journey. AI is not a panacea for companies struggling with fundamental structural problems, but done properly, AI will provide insights to propel the enterprise ahead of the competition and delight its customers. I suggest bringing in a trusted advisor to conduct a workshop with your company's key leaders to determine the gaps, define the destination, and develop a plan to get there.
2: Automate Your Business Processes
It's the same familiar story in too many enterprises (even the largest ones): they use Microsoft Excel to manage their product catalog, price sheet and quoting, while Microsoft Word is used to redline and negotiate contracts. Order management and billing are done in a separate system (or systems) and are disconnected from the product catalog and pricing in the front end. You get the picture, Quote-to-Cash remains one of the most poorly implemented business processes, riddled with manual steps and sprawled across departments that rely on disparate tools. To change this trajectory, enterprises must take the step to automate its processes, end-to-end, thus laying the foundation for Quote-to-Cash to be one coordinated, efficient process. Through this comprehensive automation, productivity gains are realized from better management of processes, better communication and collaboration among stakeholders, and elimination of manual steps in processes. This clearly sets the stage for a unified data model which AI can draw from.
3: Data Readiness
We've all heard the saying, "garbage in, garbage out", but when it comes to AI insights via machine learning, the quality of your data is paramount. If your data is not structured properly, is not precise, and is not relevant, it doesn't matter how great your AI technology is – you'll simply get garbage out for insights. As mentioned in the previous point, automating your processes and hence establishing a common data model, freed from data silos, ensures that you have established a firm foundation.
With the groundwork set, we need to start collecting data for the machine to begin "learning". The natural question to ask is: How long does it take to start harnessing insights? The answer: That depends on the volume and velocity in which your business generates data. As a rule of thumb, 6-12 months. You can't rewrite the laws of physics, but you can "bend" them (like the lift force over a winged aircraft overcoming gravity). Likewise, you can overcome this machine learning cold start problem by injecting business rules and/or integrating historical data from other systems like your ERP, to jump start the learning.
4: Deploy an intelligent agent
As I stated previously, intelligent agents provide a conversational interface to our business applications and are rewriting the rules for how we access our applications. If you have automated your processes, you can immediately deploy an intelligent agent and bypass the "physics problem" mentioned in my prior point. Mundane tasks such as quote look up, quote creation, CRM data entry, contract creation, and more, do not require a vast cache of historical data to begin to "assist" and "guide" your users. By taking this simple step, you'll increase adoption of your apps, free up time for your sellers to sell, eliminate or curtail the need for product and process training for your users.
5: Take an Agile Approach
I recently spoke with a CIO for a very large windows manufacturer about deploying AI at his company. The advice I gave him was to think of AI like software development and take an agile approach to deployment. That totally resonated and he said that he had this very same conversation with his executive leadership only days before.
Like many transformative initiatives, deploying AI into the enterprise is not a one-time event. Thriving with AI in your organization is a journey. Like most journeys, you have milestones to achieve. Starting small and getting quick wins with Artificial Intelligence is a sure way to build institutional confidence. Measure your results, adjust as necessary, and continue your journey. Deploying an intelligent agent is a quick way to get started with AI, followed by machine learning for your critical Quote-to-Cash processes like for product recommendations, cross-sell/up-sell, or contract risk score prediction.
Having conducted a few enterprise AI workshops, I have seen disparate teams come together, surface challenges that the other team was not aware of, but ended up rallying around one common goal. Contact Apttus to get started with an AI workshop today.

WASHINGTON — Chrysler is recalling about 76,000 Dodge Ram pickup trucks to fix a power steering issue that could lead to brake pedals that are slow to return after the driver applies them.
The recall affects certain 2010-2011 model year Dodge Ram trucks built from March 2009 through October 2010.
Chrysler said some trucks with diesel engines and a hydroboost brake system could be equipped with a power steering reservoir cap with excessive vent pressure levels.
The excessive levels could lead to brake pedals that are slow to return and make the brake lights remain on, potentially causing a crash.
Chrysler said it will notify owners and dealers will replace the steering reservoir cap free of charge.
Owners can contact Chrysler at (800) 853-1403.

Gives Up Tourney Lead
To Be At Birth
Family often wins out over work, even for PGA golfers competing for a $1 million prize. Hunter Mahan had a two-shot lead in the RBC Canadian Open when he was called home to be with his laboring wife.
First child for golfer
While there was no guarantee he would win, he did have a two-shot lead in the four-day tournament -- and the first prize was $1.008 million. Mahan has already won $2.3 million this year alone and was on his way to adding to that total, but the birth of a child is an event that dads really don't want to miss.
Early Saturday, he received a phone call that his wife Kandi was in labor and flew to Dallas, Texas right away. On Sunday, he tweeted, "What a whirlwind of a day, but I'm happy to announce the birth of my daughter Zoe Olivia Mahan born at 3:26 am. Thanks for all the support!"
He later tweeted, "Both Baby and Mom are doing great. Thanks to all to my sponsors who appreciate what's important in life and all my fans for being Awesome!"
Importance of dads
Sometimes, dads just can't leave work for a birth. For example, many dads who are in the military miss the birth of their children, but modern technology has made it possible for them to be there in a way, usually via a laptop equipped with a webcam and Skype. Other times they may miss it altogether, but family and friends can step in to videotape or photograph the birth if allowed.
Most workplaces allow fathers to take time off for the birth of a child, and some even have paternity leave benefits. My husband saved up sick time and took off around four weeks after the birth of our kids and it was so valuable to have his help around the house as well as giving him essential bonding time with our newborn baby.

Minnesota Advocacy
Ensuring woman business owners have access to education, peers and support to guide them through scalability, stability and succession.
Advance on behalf of Minnesota Business Owners and increase opportunities within State and City Agencies and Corporations.
Attend State Events
Member strategy and Education
Education on public policy issues
Have two – three public policy events
Engage with legislators kind to women's issues and create dialogue
Begin conversations with National and local organizations on women's issues.
NAWBO provides a platform for women business owners to come together as one voice that translates into a formidable economic force and an effective agent for change in the business environment.
NAWBO was founded in 1975 to open doors for women entrepreneurs by transforming public policy and influencing opinion makers. In the beginning, there were twelve women business owners who met informally in the D.C. area to share information about federal contracts, access to capital and other issues related to their businesses.
NAWBO has continued to represent the issues and concerns of small and women-owned businesses at the national and state levels. Through Congressional testimony, public policy conferences and member education, NAWBO has been at the forefront of advocacy on behalf of women business owners and the issues that impact their companies. Join with NAWBO to represent the interests of the fastest growing segment of the economy.
As a non-partisan organization NAWBO has focused on public policy issues of national and statewide interest impacting women entrepreneurs and small businesses since 1975. By attending White House events, providing Congressional testimony, holding advocacy conferences, developing reports, and educating members, NAWBO has consistently brought the concerns of women business owners to our lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
In 1988, NAWBO played a key role in the passage of The Women's Business Ownership Act, also known as H.R. 5050. H.R. 5050 also created the National Women's Business Council, a body of women entrepreneurs and women's organizations that provides counsel to the President and Congress.
Access to Capital: NAWBO supports federal legislation that helps to overcome the current barriers related to access to capital by women business owners (WBOs) and reduces the risk of private sector lending to small businesses. The major sources of funding that women business owners continue to rely on are personal savings, reinvested business earnings, lines of credit, loans, equity financing, and venture capital, in that order. NAWBO favors a three-pronged advocacy approach in this area, choosing to focus on the various SBA loan programs, the Small Business Investment Company program, and tax incentives to encourage investment in the small business sector.
- The SBA loan program is one of the primary sources of capital for WBEs and must continue to be aggressively funded and subsidized by the federal government.
- Women business owners historically have had limited access to private venture capital. Therefore, equity-based capital programs, such as the SBIC, are crucial in filling that gap and need to be expanded and strengthened.
- Broad-based capital gains legislation that includes incentives to foster investment in all forms of organizations in the small business sector needs to be enacted.
- History indicates that robust entrepreneurial activity and small business ownership provide the basis for economic prosperity important to the long term vitality and success of our nation. Therefore, government policies that foster and encourage growth and expansion of fast-growing small businesses, such as those owned by women, are crucial to the health of the US economy.
Fair and Equitable Tax Treatment: NAWBO supports fair and equitable tax policy for large and small businesses that fosters the economic growth of women-owned and other small businesses. Legislation should be enacted to ensure tax equity and basic fairness for all forms of small business organizations.
Federal Procurement: NAWBO supports achievement of the 5% Federal procurement goal for women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) and other steps designed to assure women business owners their fair share of Federal contracts and contract dollars. Failure to achieve the 5% goal has cost women business owners an average of $5 billion in lost contracts each year.
NAWBO opposes contract bundling, the Federal government's policy of consolidating its purchases of unrelated goods and services into a single large contract. Bundling limits the opportunities for small businesses to effectively compete, thereby restricting competition and increasing the overall cost of goods and services to the Federal government.

Back in December of 2014, I was on my deathbed with a rare cancer known as mediastinal seminoma. It was highly treatable, fortunately for me, but it was a long, dreadful struggle between the chemotherapy, the chemo's side effects, and recovery. I really wasn't myself even for up to a year after the chemo was finished. It was actually recommended that I have what was left of the tumor - dead as it was - surgically removed by my doctors in Boston. I declined the surgery, as it was essentially open heart surgery and I wasn't going to be bed-ridden for another few months. And it was too risky.
I said at the time that when it was all over I would write a book about my experiences. But I found myself asking myself, "What is there to say, really?"
That seems like an odd thing to think, doesn't it? I should have plenty to say about my experience, right? No, not really. I feel like the more that I think about it, the more that I give attention to the cancer I beat, and why should I? Why do I think this way?
Yet I lived in this fear that the cancer would just suddenly re-emerge. And it hasn't. But I've seen it come back with so many people, and just have it be a silent killer out of nowhere.
I'm a believer that the cancer happened the way that it did to wake me up and realize how precious life really is. At the time it did. But so much has happened since then. You would think that would be a story in itself. But again, what is there to say? Life happens? Yeah, pretty much. You can't let the sometimes greatly cruel randomness of life take away what's precious to you in it. That's the lesson to take away from any crappy thing that happens to you.
So what else is there to say about my battle with cancer that hasn't been said already? What unique perspective do I have to share? Why do I struggle so much to talk about it?
When I can finally answer that question, I'll let you know.
But in the meantime, I will just say this. If there's something that people keep pestering you to talk about, and you don't want to, don't give in. When the time is right, if the occasion presents itself, you will.

I believe I had this beer last year on tap, but this was my first time ever drinking Anchor Christmas Ale from the bottle. And what exactly IS the name of this beer, anyway? The bottle says "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year", the website says "Christmas Ale" and Rate Beer Advocate calls is "Our Special Ale" - so which is it!?!?!
A lot of breweries around the world release a beer just for the Christmas season and deliberately change the recipe from year to year so that it's something of a new present each year. Anchor Brewing out of San Francisco was one of the first American breweries to not only experiment with this idea - but make it work very well. I just wish they would make it clear what exactly the name of the beer is! The front label of the bottle states "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year", but Anchor's website refers to it as "Anchor Christmas Ale", meanwhile both ratebeer.com and beeradvocate.com call the beer "Our Special Ale". Whatever its name may be, the only way to appreciate a review of this beer is on a year-by-year basis since the recipe is changed (I wish this website would have a separate entry for each year's edition).
The 2010 edition was not my first taste of Anchor's Christmas-themed ale, as I clearly remember enjoying it on tap in 2009. But for Christmas of 2010 I decided to pick up a bottle for serious analysis and critique at home. I was quite disappointed with what I found.
I poured a 12oz bottle into an oversize wine glass.
APPEARANCE: Gorgeous maroon/purple/black color with three-finger, dark tan, frothy head. Good retention and lacing.
AROMA: Not much to speak of. Some spice or potpourri but nothing I can put my finger on. Also a distinct green NyQuil kind of scent. WTF?
TASTE: Up front and through the middle there isn't much to speak of. Reminds me of a generic dark ale or a strong brown ale with some caramel sweetness. However, in the finish and aftertaste is a strange combination of peppermint, ginger, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. I actually like the chocolate sweetness, but the ginger/peppermint flavor combination ruins it. It seems to grow stronger on each swig. This is not a particularly bitter beer, but I could use some hops to rescue me from this overly-spiced palate. It gets more astringent and tannic as it warms and becomes a struggle to finish.
MOUTHFEEL: medium body, with soft, creamy texture and low carbonation.
DRINKABILITY: The first few sips are easy, but the sour palate puts me off and turns it into a sipper. Seems much stronger than its alleged 5.5% ABV would indicate.
OVERALL: One of the weirdest beers I've ever drank. Especially considering its superficial elements really make sound great (great head, creamy texture, complex palate). But it's just not what I prefer or expect in a winter warmer. Hopefully next year's will be better.
Grade: 4/10

If you are thinking about studying abroad at any point during your college experience, packing the right essentials is crucial. Since you won't be able to bring everything you would normally bring to your dorm room, suitcase space is vital. Before you get on the plane, make sure you have the following packed!
Universal Adapters
Outlets may change from country to country, so your phone or laptop chargers may not be able to fit. A universal adapter can be purchased before you leave and will be able to work with any outlet. It will have at least two USB ports, perfect for your phone, iPod, e-reader or watch charger.
Toiletries & Snacks
If you have a favorite brand of shampoo or deodorant, pack travel-size containers of each. Your favorite brand may not be available where you are studying, and a travel size can help keep you clean while you search for something similar. Likewise, your favorite snack food may not be available in your new home country. Pack a box or bag of your favorite snack that meets travel regulations for when you start to feel homesick.
Appropriate Clothing & Shoes
Chances are, you won't be able to go home to do a clothing switch partway through your semester, and buying a whole new wardrobe overseas can break your student budget. Make sure you pack weather and culturally-appropriate clothing, including pants, long skirts, light jackets and a heavier coat for winter. A scarf is also considered appropriate for visiting certain landmarks or countries. You'll be doing a lot of walking as you explore new areas, and bringing a sturdy pair of walking shoes will prevent blisters and other injuries.
You're going to need something to keep you entertained on long train or bus rides, and space will be tight enough without trying to fit a few heavy books into your suitcase or backpack. An e-reader like the Kindle or Nook is lightweight, compact and can hold books for fun, guidebooks and school books.
Student Storage & Shipping in Boston
If you are looking for a place to keep your things near your school during your semester abroad, contact OnDemand Storage today! We offer student storage at schools across the East Coast of the United States. If you forgot something at home or in your storage unit, we provide shipping! OnDemand Storage can be reached by calling (855)215-6617 or by filling out our online contact form.

A BRITISH brother and sister spent 149 days driving more than 26,000km on an epic road trip from the UK to Australia in a Mini - only to be beaten by the WA outback.
Countless breakdowns, flat tyres and blown gaskets couldn't stop Jack and Josie Condron from navigating their way across Europe, Russia, Mongolia, China Andacollo South-East Asia to reach Australia.
They endured highway bingles, a run-in with a herd of camels, and crossed rivers, swamps, deserts and frozen tundra.
But yesterday the pair were trying to limp back to Perth from Kalgoorlie after the brutal WA outback and a series of blown head gaskets near Southern Cross a week ago ended their epic bid to reach Sydney.
"After 149 days, 16,435 miles from England to Australia, this little Mini has been broken and been fixed one too many times,'' Josie, a 21-year-old childcare worker, said.
When they reached Darwin by ship from Singapore, they drove to Perth for Christmas before setting off for the final leg across Australia.
But on a lonely highway near Southern Cross, 370km east of Perth, the outback claimed the 1992 Mini that had been too tough for the rest of the world.
"We've done so much, we've been on the road for 4½ months, we've been constantly breaking down and constantly fixing it. It's just got too dangerous if we get stuck in the outback,'' Josie said.
"But you know, it feels like we've succeeded. We made it to Australia. No one believed we'd make it, ver.
"Three days in, our head gasket went in Germany, we broke down for five or six hours. Everyone laughed in our face when we said Australia. I had a lot of faith - but probably because I was so naive.''
Jack, a 25-year-old telecommunications technician, learnt to be a mechanic during a road trip around Europe three years ago in his Mini after being inspired by the same car in the movie The Italian Job.
"Then he thought, 'Why don't I drive all the way to Australia?'. And I came along for the ride,'' Josie said.
"First we did a day at a time, then a country at a time. In Mongolia, our exhaust fell off eight times in one day. Finally we pulled it off and put it on the roof rack. Mongolia was sand, desert, swamp, mountains and hardly any roads. We got stuck all the time.
"We camped on the side of the road - no toilet, no shower, breaking down every day. The car was filthy. I thought I was tanned but I was filthy.
"One time in the desert we had to swerve around 20 camels, and then we had to eat cold food because our barbecue flew off the roof.''
The Mini may be down but it's not out, with the siblings planning to ship it home and keep the car that got them halfway across the world using 1583 litres of petrol.
But their adventure continues - Josie is heading to New Zealand to work while Jack is bound for the US.

- Ted Sarandos said in an interview with Variety that no Netflix titles would be screened at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
- This follows the fest's rule change last year that no movies would be allowed to screen in competition going forward if they were not released theatrically in France.
- Netflix had two films in competition last year.
Netflix head of content Ted Sarandos is pulling Netflix completely out of the Cannes Film Festival after a long fight with movie traditionalists.
After the streaming giant caused controversy last year, when it had two films in competition at the festival, the most powerful film fest in the world made a rule change that movies without theatrical distribution in France were no longer eligible to play in competition.
Sarandos said on Wednesday, to Variety, that because of the rule change he would not be bringing any titles to Cannes, even to play out of competition.
"We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker," Sarandos told the trade. "There's a risk in us going in this way and having our films and filmmakers treated disrespectfully at the festival. They have set the tone. I don't think it would be good for us to be there."
At Cannes last year, Netflix had two titles playing in competition: Bong Joon-ho's "Okja" and Noah Baumbach's "The Meyerowitz Stories." But because of Netflix's model of showing its movies day-and-date (meaning its titles show on its streaming service at the same time they are in theatres – if the titles get a theatrical release at all), theatre owners in France were outraged over the prime position the titles received. Like US theatres, movie houses in France are against Netflix's model and want titles to play exclusively in theatres for a certain amount of time before being available to stream. This led to the rule change by Cannes.
However, Sarandos said he's not against Netflix buying one of the films in competition at Cannes this year that is seeking distribution.
Netflix has found success on the festival circuit over the years, specifically at the Sundance Film Festival, where it's premiered movies that are soon available on the site in the weeks after the festival, like "I Don't Feel at Home In This World Anymore" and "A Futile and Stupid Gesture." It's also made big acquisitions at Sundance, like "Mudbound" in 2017 for $US12.5 million.
But Netflix, as well as its rival Amazon Studios, scaled back big time at Sundance this year on acquisitions. And this latest move by Sarandos may be a hint that Netflix isn't that interested in what's going on in the South of France either.

Erik Ellington talks you through his new pro shoe for SUPRA, The Crown Coalition Ellington Vulc.
Here's what SUPRA have to say:
"One of our most popular signature shoes since its 2012 release, the Ellington has been rebuilt in a streamlined construction atop a vulcanized sole for classic skateboarding style and performance.
"The Ellington was a cup sole, kind of a more athletic shoe that I had worked on," Ellington said. "And after a year, year and a half after it was out, I was skating the Cubas, or the Shotgun, or another vulc shoe, so I was like, "I wonder what it would like like with a vulc sole?"
Ellington took a pair of his mid tops, removed them from their sole and glued them on a vulcanized sole. Pleased with the result, he took a photo of his idea brought to life and sent it to our designers who got to work making the shoe a reality.
"What I wanted was my shoe on a vulcanized sole, and that's what we did," Ellington added. "Basically, everything about the way the Ellington was—the upper of it—I wanted to keep, so there was nothing that was really changed aside from the thickness of the padding and stuff like that. Everything was kept from the original."
For its debut, the Ellington Vulc is available in a tonal black colorway exclusively at Crown Coalition retailers. Comprised of roughly 250 independent skate shops, the Crown Coalition is a federation of core skate shops selected for their efforts to promote grassroots skateboarding at a local level. "

According to research recently published by Research Nester, the global influenza vaccine market is expected to reach $45.25 billion by 2021.
This increase represents a CAGR of 7.9% and is anticipated as a result of the equal chance of influenza occurring in both developed and developing nations. In 2010, the US was the largest influenza vaccine market, followed by China.
Rapidly growing population levels and an increase in land acquisition for the required infrastructural facilities would lead to a higher rate of influenza casualties, report Research Nester. This increase in influenza casualties would therefore relate to an increase in the influenza vaccine market.
Moreover, the rising medical healthcare services and governmental initiatives, such as vaccination programmes, are projected to boost the demand of influenza vaccines.

Right before we spent a bit too much of a night and way too much of our profit on a wild night out to climax our working year, we spent a couple of hours together figuring out what went well, what went not so well and what we could do better.
2018 was our first full year in operation. The first complete year of designing, building, capturing, meeting, managing and selling. Here's what we learned.
1. Office space matters
We moved into our first 'proper' office in February. This was driven by the need for us all to be in the same place, at the same time, uninterrupted.
We upgraded to a larger room in August. We were recruiting, needed more seats and a place that would attract and retain incoming team members.
In the new year, we'll be looking for our next address. Yes, we're adding to the team again, but we could find a way to cram a couple more desks into our current digs. No, we wouldn't work at our best if we did.
We underestimated the value of, well, space. Space to do whatever it is you do without feeling unencumbered by the thoughts and actions of others.
2. Process x 1, pragmatism x 3
Don't build processes before you get any clients.
Don't worry about the process when you're still figuring out what you're doing.
And don't forget to work on, write down and reinforce your process when you're scaling.
3. You don't have as much time as you think
We use a tool called Forecast. It's good. Try it. It helps us to schedule our team's time per project and figure out how much capacity we have in the studio.
The issue, and in turn the learning, was that we figured that a day in the diary meant a day to work on a project. It doesn't. Directors, managers and team members have different levels of responsibility over and above their workday. In a small business, there is little room for specialism and everyone, to some degree or another, needs to help beyond their basic remit.
Then there's holiday (who's covering for x), illness (x isn't at 100%), travel (Chiswick is a 3 hour round trip from Old Street, fact) and whatever else slows us all down. If you can get 3 or 4 good hours of work done every day, you're doing alright.
4. Involve everyone in new business
As we've just noted, time is a limited commodity. A lack of time can cause priorities to become muddled, rarely more so in our case than with business development.
As our BD process professionalised, so it became siloed. Too often, we'd sign a client without more than a couple of people knowing what we had to do, how we were going to do it and, most importantly, who we were doing it for.
We've always believed that relationships were at the core of our business philosophy, but we let this fall away in favour of expediting a process. Which, considering our sales cycle, made absolutely no sense.
We work on projects reliant on a high degree of trust. They're potentially invasive, time-consuming and expensive. There's a lot at stake. So, it's no surprise that it can take months (we've yet to hit years, but it will happen) to convert an initial conversation into a piece of work. Which is why it's always worth the time to delay the proposal by a couple of days to make sure everyone has had a chance to see it, feedback on it and learn a bit about the prospective client that you might very well be working with for the next year or two.
5. Meet > Call > Email
Don't email when you can call. Don't call when you can meet. Always push to meet everybody you can.
6. We weren't ready for interns
We wanted to recruit interns from day 1, partly because that's how our two Creative Directors started out, and partly because we wanted to help give a bit back to the industry.
Best case? We found a diamond in the rough that became a valued part of the team. Worst case? We didn't, but we kept the team fresh with new ideas and new personalities.
We spent time finding people that we thought would benefit from the time with us. We prepared induction documents. We paid our interns the London Living Wage.
But, looking back, we underestimated how much energy and forethought would be required to get the most out of our intern's time, both for us and for them. It prompted us to consider what we could do to support an incoming intern's individual goals, and the resources required to help them as much as they helped us.
7. Quotes don't matter when contracts are signed
As a salesperson, you can be forgiven for focusing your attention on the value of new work coming in, over the value of the work going out. As a founder, your job is to consider how to maximise both.
I imagine that most mature businesses are defined to some extent by this potential fluctuation: undervaluing and overdelivering early, over-resourcing whilst scaling, overpromising from time-to-time.
Our business operates to a relatively consistent, labour-based model. Our ideas, strategies and designs will vary wildly per project, but the underlying process changes little; from a distance, a lower value project might look a lot like a higher value project.
We learned that, when a contract is signed, the value of the job is no longer imperative. Chances are, the person paying a little will be equally as demanding as the person pay a lot, and the process – stakeholder management aside – will be just as thorough, and just as expensive to run.
8. Keep writing, keep posting, keep sharing
When you start writing a blog or posting on social, it can feel like you're shouting into a well, with only your own echoed, reverberating thoughts for comfort.
Many months after we started, people started telling us that they read what we write or like what we post. Prospects, clients and partners alike.
It's flattering; it's reinforcing. Stick at it.
9. Collaboration is king
We're a relationship-lead business. We have to be. We simply couldn't produce great work without truly understanding the challenges our clients face and partnering with their teams to help solve them.
Our early insecurities made this challenging – they're paying us to do the work – but we learned to lean in, listen and collaborate. It worked.
It worked so well that we started to administer this mentality across the company (beyond the obvious work alongside specialist freelancers on certain projects).
Now, our prime channel for new business is via the partnerships we've fostered in the past year. We work with businesses outside our sector – but embedded in the same vertical markets – to produce work for clients that, alone, we wouldn't be able to.
10. Invest in each other
Founding, running and driving a business are hard tasks. They take a real toll on your life.
5 of us founded this business, so that's 4 other people to rely on and be thankful for sharing the load. It's also 4 people to think about, care for and help.
We're 'client-in' rather than top-down, but we're team-first. Nothing has been more important to our success thus far, and we've learnt that nothing ever will be.

Scrub the grates with a quality grill brush. Remove from the rack and wash them in soapy water. Rinse and dry before putting them back.
How Long Does It Take to Clean a Gas Grill?
You love cooking on your grill, but you dread cleaning it. So many parts, a lot of grease and burnt food debris. How long exactly will it take to clean this thing? Luckily, it should take no longer than 30 minutes.
Follow these seven easy steps to clean your grill. Your food will taste better, your grill will function more efficiently, and your barbecues will be safer.
Before getting started, make sure that you have all tools and supplies handy. To clean your grill, you'll need:
- Gloves
- A quality grill brush, preferably with a scraper
- Rags, sponges, or paper towels,
- A bucket of soap and water
Seven Steps to a Clean Grill
Scrape the heat tents with the scraper blade on your brush and remove any food particles and grease. Simply lift them from inside the grill, dunk them in the bucket of soapy water and wash. Rinse them and set aside until you are done.
Clean and unclog burners. Some burners are easily removed and can be scrubbed in soapy water. Use a thin skewer or paper clip to unclog the ports in the burners if necessary.
Remove the gunk from the bottom. Scrape off the debris with your grill brush. You may need a grill cleaner to eliminate stubborn grease.
Consult your owner's manual to ensure you reassemble your grill properly.
Clean the exterior of the grill. You can use soapy water, but try a specialized cleaner for stainless steel to make it shine.
Inspect the grill's components to make sure everything is working properly. This includes the ignition wires, battery and hose. A gas leak test is a good idea if your grill has been unused for a long period of time.

We Already Know School Starts Too Early. It's Time to Do Something About It
Teenagers shouldn't have to go to class while half asleep
Common sense, as a general idea, seems easy to define. But when it comes to the time that middle and high school students start school in most places across the United States, the education community has been doing it wrong—with numerous, hard-to-ignore studies, sleep experts, and national organizations rightly blasting the negative impact on adolescents to begin class around 7:30 a.m.
On this topic, most schools have been in the Dark Ages, literally and figuratively. The vast majority of districts do not heed recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics to hold off beginning middle and high school until 8:30 a.m.
For advocates of a later start time for secondary schools, it was a brief ray of hope to learn of California's recent progress on the matter, with lawmakers there approving a bill that would require all middle and high schools to begin after 8:30 a.m. Unfortunately, Gov. Jerry Brown, citing that the decision should be made by local school boards, vetoed the legislation late last month.
Even with the California setback, the movement to push back school start times is gaining momentum nationally. From Saco, Maine, to Seattle, many districts have already successfully pushed back the start times of high schools and middle schools—and with largely positive results. For instance, according to the nonprofit group Start School Later, Saco schools have seen a 40 percent drop in tardiness, an almost 50 percent reduction in student visits to the nurse, and staff reports that students are more alert and ready to learn since they moved to a later start time in 2016.
Scores rise, too, when schools align their schedules with adolescent biological clocks. In 2014, a three-year, 9,000-student study from researchers at the University of Minnesota found that students whose high schools changed their schedules to start at 8:30 a.m. or later improved their performance in English, math, science, social studies, and standardized tests.
So, if the research is clear that making this change yields an overwhelmingly positive outcome, the burning question is: Why has this taken so long? And: When will other districts follow suit?
The answers are muddied by a mix of factors, ranging from a shift in family schedules, potential budget adjustments to accommodate more buses, challenges with after-school sports and activities, and the prospect of having students complete their homework later at night than they already do. But the main issue, experts studying the change agree, is one of simple inconvenience. Schools and their communities have been so accustomed to the current schedule that many are resistant to change. It's much easier to do what has always been done.
However, when you consider the negative impact of an early school day on adolescents and pre-adolescents, the facts can no longer be ignored. Thirteen- to 18-year-olds require 8 to 10 hours of sleep daily, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Circadian rhythms during puberty force teens to go to bed later and sleep later in the morning. Anyone who has taught middle and high school, or has a child in this age range, can attest to this. (Forehead on the dining room table during breakfast, anyone?) School start times forcing teens to wake up before 6 a.m. clearly do not align with teens' sleep needs.
According to the American Academy of Pediatricians, adolescents who do not get the required amount of sleep are at risk for a host of serious physical problems, including obesity and diabetes; safety concerns, including drowsy driving; issues related to mental health, including increased anxiety, depression, and decreased motivation; and a decrease in school performance, such as cognitive impairment, problems with attention and memory, lower academic achievement, poor attendance, and higher dropout rate.
The author of the failed California bill, Democratic state senator Anthony J. Portantino, recently told The New York Times that forcing teens to get out of bed so early is "the biological equivalent of waking you or me up at 3:30 a.m. Imagine how you would feel if, 187 days a year, you had to get up at 3:30 a.m. You'd be miserable, you'd be depressed—you'd act like a teenager."
With such compelling evidence, it makes one wonder how children in middle and high schools have been able to function well at all in school—at least during the early morning hours. It also calls to mind how an earlier start time could have helped millions of students who haven't performed well, faced physical problems, or dropped out because they have had to wake up far earlier than they should have.
As author Daniel H. Pink states in his latest book, When, this is a remediable problem. "Starts matter," he writes. "We can't always control them. But this is one area where we can and therefore we must."
Veteran educators know that, each year, communities throughout the country spend millions on costly new initiatives—technology, curriculum, new buildings, to name a few—many of which have marginal positive impact on student learning.
If school superintendents and boards of education were to examine the research behind secondary school start times, it is impossible to disagree: Outdated schedules are failing many students. We can no longer be complacent. As schools look for an answer to boost student attendance, performance, and engagement, making a change in start times for secondary students is an obvious solution.
Now, which districts will read the research and have the common sense—and the courage—to make the change?

The opposition leader, who was dragged to Zambia's Force Headquarters where he was questioned before his arrest for allegedly defaming the President, is about the fourth citizen to be arrested for allegedly defaming the president or government officials under Zambia's nearly one month emergency rule.
Earlier last month, three others; two university students and a medical doctor were arrested separately and are now appearing before courts of law for similarly defaming the president using the social media giant Face book.
Others in court for similar crimes but arrested shortly before the state of emergency was declared last month are opposition EEP president Chilufya Tayali, while a Barotse activist Munyinda Munukayumbwa was only released two weeks ago on Nolle Prosequi after spending three months in detention for seditious practices to do with a face book post that was attributed to him.
Munyinda was released after the state could not prove criminality against him.
Meanwhile, leader of the main opposition UPND, Hakainde Hichilema, has been in deplorable detention over trumped-up treason charges since April after his motorcade allegedly failed to give way to Mr. Lungu's own on royal Limulunga road when the two were both guests of King Lubosi Imwiko II of Barotseland at the Ku-o-mboka annual water festival.
Police pounced on Chishimba earlier, as he arrived at Diamond TV along Bwinjimfumu Road where he was scheduled to record a political programme at the private television station, News Diggers has reported.
"It's my first time to ever be interrogated by police, please put me in your prayers," the opposition United Progressive People (UPP) leader told his supporters at the secretariat before he was taken away.
Plain-clothed police officers approached the opposition leader and took him to Force Headquarters where he was interrogated for 2 hours and 45 minutes.
He was then taken to Woodlands Police Station where police officers mobilized and led him to his Secretariat in Kabulonga for a search.
The police officers demanded for the press statement which Chishimba read at his recent press briefing where he castigated President Edgar Lungu for declaring a Threatened State of Emergency.
The opposition leader lately came to prominence for questioning president Lungu's sudden astronomical wealth and other unscrupulous dealings of some named Zambian cabinet ministers, such as the Maize Gate scandal that saw their Malawian counterparts fired from cabinet positions to face the wrath of the Malawian law.
While the Malawian government dealt severely with those involved in the Maize Gate scandal which implicated some Zambian cabinet minister, Mr. Chishimba wondered why the Zambian government seemed to be shielding the Minister of Agriculture Dora Siliya and others from facing the Zambian law.
In the same period, Mr. Chishimba had accused the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) for corruption until the authority instituted litigation constraining the opposition leader from speaking against the authority.
He now faces a K100 billion Zambian Kwacha lawsuit for defaming the authority in a move largely seen as an act of intimidation of a whistle blower.
Meanwhile, it is feared that more human rights abuses will be witnessed as the Zambia police force continue to entrench President Lungu's emergency rule using the extra powers granted to them under his decree.
