Based on data from the World Bank, in 2011 natural gas burned as flare gas reached more 150 billion cubic meters (bcm) and added about 400 million tons of annual CO2 emissions. The first rank of the biggest fuel-gas producer is Russia with 37.4 bcm per year followed by Nigeria with annual production of 14.6 bcm. While Indonesia ranks fourth with an annual burning gas flame of 2.2 bcm. Several countries have started to pay attention to the impact of this flare gas. The country is making policies and regulations to reduce the flare gas of which are Canada, Norway, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Qatar.
According to the data, Indonesia, which is one of the world's leading gas-burning countries through the National Planning Agency (Bappenas) has sought to reduce the production of flared gas flares through "the Indonesian Climate Change Sectoral Roadmap 2010″. In its implementation, it is supported by the National Action Plan for Emission Reduction and regulated by Presidential Regulation No. 61/2011. The goal is that the data of flare gas can be obtained accurately and structured. In principle, oil and gas contractors must seek government permission to carry out gas burning. This is in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia No. 31 Year 2012 on the Management of Gas Flares in Oil and Gas Processing. But this ministerial decision does not regulate the penalties or fines to companies that violate regulations. The rules are only normative.
It is necessary to formulate specific mechanisms related to economic instruments and other fiscal systems so that existing regulations are more effective and efficient. Such as incentive or disincentive arrangements imposed on gas producers and processors in more detail.
Based on the analysis of Low Carbon Support Program to Ministry of Finance Indonesia most of the flaring takes place offshore. Offshore Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) account for about 48.2% of gas combustion and 25.6% are produced by terrestrial PSC. Pertamina & Partners and Joint Operating Body for Production Sharing Contracts contributed 21.2% and 5.0% respectively. Flare gas data according to the company showed that five major flue gas producers produce 76.4% of the total production of national flare gas. These companies are BP Tangguh, Pertamina & Partners, Petrochina International Jabung Ltd, CNOOC SES Ltd, and Total Indonesia. While the top 10 and 15 companies contributed 87.5% and 93.2%.
A positive relationship between the size of the oilfield and the associated gas produced shows that the total flare gas is not the only indicator of efficiency. The application of Gas Flaring to Oil Production Ratio and Global Gas Flaring Reduction will be more relevant and provide additional information. The problem is that oil and gas are generally produced simultaneously in the production process, making it very difficult to separate the flare gas from oil production by flare gas from gas production.
To reduce the production of flare gas, the following things can be done:
1. Flaring can be implemented within certain limits for safety and maintenance purposes.
2. The polluter pays principle applies in policy formulation because the cost of pollution is directly charged to those who should bear.
3. Variations in emissions to barrels of oil equivalent between one place and another are large enough to require considerable investment discrepancies to mitigate emissions.
4. The utilization of revenues from fiscal disincentives is an important system to ensure fairness and investment funds.
From all the above descriptions we can conclude that there are three policy recommendations to minimize the flare gas that can be done by the government: commercialization of flare gas through regulations, enforcing government regulations to oil and gas companies, and disincentive fiscal use.

Pregnancy brain and other disasters
Today, George sent me a seemingly innocuous video.
Innocuous, that is, unless you are a 20-something female in her first trimester of pregnancy. Two-legged chihuahua HAS NO HANDS, OK? NO HANDS. I am totally ugly crying over here.
You'd think he'd've learned by now. Last night we watched "Country Strong" (which I think I didn't like at all, but my taste, including in movies, seems to be out of whack right now, so I'll get back to you on whether I really liked it or not in, oh… 18-22 years). There's this little boy towards the end with leukemia. You know the scene is coming, but when he appears in the frame, with his lack of eyebrows and his giant cowboy hat? Well, I don't think I've ever lost my crap quite as quickly as I did then and there. Emotional, couch-rocking, chest-rattling sobs, snot everywhere, the works. Not pretty.
So, word to the wise: please avoid showing me anything cute, anything sad, or anything having to do with little animals or children. Especially sick children. Or sick little animals. Or sick little children dressed like animals. Thanks.

This week we are joining in with the Crafty Kids At Home playdate blog hop. I thought I would share an easy to make playdough YOU CAN EAT made with Nutella!
You need:
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup Nutella
Small cookie cutters (like these from Amazon)
Empty chocolate boxes
Chocolate paper cups and foils (like these from Amazon or re-use old ones)
Cake decorations/sprinkles
Empty the icing sugar into a bowl, add the Nutella and use a spatula to mix, the icing sugar will soak up the oils and the consistency will start to change to an almost dry consistency. When it is almost dry you can get rid of the spatula and get your hands stuck in until you have your playdough consistency!!
Place on a tray with old chocolate boxes, chocolate cups, foils, small cookie cutters and sprinkles or cake decorations.
Have lots of fun making your own playdough chocolates...remember at the end you can even eat some! Although you might not want to eat it all or you may get a tummy ache!

We all perceive colours differently. Everything depends on the colour receptors and pins in your eyes.
Professor Diana Derval, an expert in neuro-marketing, developed this test that helps you gauge how many of those famous pins you have in your eyes. So look at the image below and count the colours you see.
You perceive less than 20 colour tones:
You only have two types of pins in your eyes, which gives you about the same ability to perceive colours as a dog. You usually wear black, beige or blue colours. 25% of the world's population is dichromat, just like you.
You perceive between 20 and 32 colour tones:
You are trichromat and have three types of pins in your eye (the purple/blue, green and red). You like various colours and can really appreciate them. 50% of the world's population is trichromat, just like you.
You perceive between 33 and 39 colour tones:
You are tetrachromat, just like bees. You have four types of pins in your eye (the purple/blue, green, red and yellow pins). Yellow is a colour that quickly irritates you, and will thus not be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the world's population is tetrachromat.
You perceive more than 39 colour tones:
Come on, you've got to be lying. There are only 39 colour tones in this test, of which your computer probably only registrates 35 properly.

Jerry X. (Alumni-R)'s Journal
Hi everyone, My name is Jerry. I'm 13 and quite tall for the age, yet light for the height. I've traveled through a lot of places in China, Although most of the places are cities with towering skyscrapers and the sound of traffic. I want to try something a little different this time. So I have decided to join the Revival group of Microcampus. It was fun and very exciting to participate in. I faced many problems, many challenges, a lot of hate from my group mates. But it is how I overcome those challenges and problems that made this unique, and forever in my memory.

Feb '14 - May '14
Saturday was the full day we have got to work as Ole Bouman, the Creative Director of UABB officially welcomed us and opened the Los Angeles Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism for working sessions.
We have selected a public space in the cafeteria to conduct our business, engaging the public continuously. We sit around a 20' x 6' table and talk about Los Angeles and collect words, images and sounds for our book, a manual of sorts, we aim to finish Sunday in either print form and/or digitally.
We have a challenge of editing mountainous material we have been collecting.
Saturday we briefly summarized our previous informal discussions and start to further plot our course of development, making Los Angeles our experimental subject. First we concentrated on individually presenting our work and commenting on each presentation.
I started first by reading Apartment Stories. The piece and following discussion showed a fictional face and a research based writing on Los Angeles housing, densification and gentrification. I tried to hypothesize that it was possible to take the conversation outside of the usual technical writing of architecture we see in most printed material and bring in front of the public via interwoven pieces like this.
My reading was followed by Sarah Lorenzen who presented a piece she realized with her students who documented and narrated series of real life stories growing up in different parts of the world, emphasizing there is much more to generation "Y" than most expert generalize in the media.
Then we moved on to Aris Janigian who read from his novel This Angelic Land, offering a lyrical perspective on the Rodney King Riots, aka, Rodney King Uprising which generated many opinions and descriptions on fragility and divisional aspects of the city. Aris went on and read another excerpt from his upcoming poetic novel based around Chateau Marmont and LA's celebrity culture.
The day was concluded by Andy Wilcox presentation on Los Angeles and its natural ecology wonderfully depicted by serious illustrations and photography, centerpieced by carp fishing in L.A. River and subsequent feast of the catch.

Six months since our last holiday, by May 2019 it was time for a break. I am a firm believer in the HR notion that a break every six months is restorative (if not to ones bank account, at least for the soul). So I looked for a cruise that would please me and my wife.
A bit about us: we are late middle-aged (later 50's, early 60's), one of us still works, and we have done many cruises since 2001. Mostly on Holland America, yet more recently on Seabourn. We very much liked the almost all-inclusive nature of our Seabourn cruises, as well as the smaller ships.
In May 2019 Seabourn had an interesting cruise option, yet on that ship the verandah cabin guarantee offered may well have come with the opaque (metal) balcony railings. That is a show-stopper for my wife, who wants to be able to see out her balcony while seated. Seabourn would put us in a balcony with the Plexiglas railing--yet only if we ponied up another $2 grand each. It looked like we would not be cruising after all in May.
Happily, searching the usual websites, I found this interesting Regent cruise--a trans-Atlantic, which we like (the days at sea can be quite restful), some interesting ports, a departure from New York, which is only an hours flight from Toronto, and with the airfare and shore excursions included. We also would have a proper balcony in the verandah cabin, with no metal railing blocking the view. All this, including business class air for the transatlantic flight home, for about the same price as Seabourn wanted for the obstructed view balcony. Hmmm, it was time to give Regent a try.
Cutting to the chase for any impatient readers, we quite enjoyed our Regent cruise and would return to them. This line is now on our list, along with Seabourn. We would also return to HAL, even though we do like not having to sign for most things, for the right itinerary and pricing. It is nice to have options and choices.
We found Regent a well organized operator. Their shore staff met us at Newark airport, and we were escorted to the van (we were the only passengers) provided to take us to the port of Manhattan. Ironically, the drive from the airport took longer than our 1.3 hour flight. It was nice, accordingly, that I did not have to pay for a taxi or limo, and that such ground transportation was included.
As we checked in around 2PM, we had missed the rush. On board quickly, we headed to the Verandah for a casual lunch. This was the first of many very good meals on board. Ultimately to our cabin--we had received and accepted an upsell offer for a penthouse. The basic amenity was that the cabin, same size as the verandah cabin but better located, came with a butler, who was excellent! Between the butler and our stewardess, and her assistant, we were very well looked after for the next 15 days. Having never had a butler before, and wondering what we would use him for, now I wonder how we could survive without one!
The cabin was a little tight compared with what we are used to. On HAL we get a Neptune Suite, and on Seabourn a regular verandah. Yet the Seabourn ships are newer than this particular ship, Navigator, which is about 20 years old. We found that there was not quite as much drawer space or storage generally, as we have had on Seabourn in the regular verandah cabins--yet we managed to get everything put away. Still, I would not have wanted a room service dinner in the cabin. Again, other than having the daily snacks which the butler brought, it was a tad tight for dining.
We were not impressed with the lifeboat drill. Held partly inside, and then being taken out to the boat deck was superfluous, as the boats you were shown at the drill may well not be the boat to which you would be assigned when you gather in the event of an emergency. In my view this is not well thought out. Either do the entire drill outside, or inside. I would also think specific lifeboats should be assigned per cabin, so everyone knows exactly where to go in case of an emergency. Other lines do this in a more organized fashion.
We had a little difficulty in getting the cabin stocked with my wife's favourite Vodka, Chopin, a potato-based vodka. A substitute was provided, and Chopin was available in the bars. Ultimately, our butler scrounged us a bottle for the cabin. Unfortunately, we were told that Chopin was no longer to be provided on Regent once current inventory was finished. Too bad, as it is an excellent luxury brand.
The included/available Scotches were also not quite top drawer. I mean, seriously, Johnny Walker Red? Yes, they had Black, Chivas Regal (my daily tipple), and some single malts. Yet for a luxury cruise line, at a minimum 12 year old single malts (not just one, but a choice of several) should be included, and frankly, they should provide 15 year old Scotch without a surcharge.
In addition to most friendly, warm, welcoming, and personable cabin staff, the same could be said about all the bar staff. They were great. It was nice to be seated, and ones regular drink brought around without having to say a word. Kudos to them for fostering a welcoming and clubby atmosphere.
The food quality was truly excellent--and we are foodies. It was the best we have experienced on any cruise. Being fair, HAL provides in our experience very good Banquet style meals. Seabourn provides very good meals as well, just not a lot of variety at times, and at times, overly salted. Regent's food was not overly salted, yet was well seasoned. There was also plenty of variety at lunch, and especially at dinner in the main restaurant. Some of the "always available" dinner items included genuine whole Dover Sole, which would be filleted table-side--a pleasure to watch. We found the food prepared "a la minute", and was an example of fine dining. Not every dish was a success, but the effort was clearly present.
We were surprised that someone on the cruise after ours, a Veterans charter, did not enjoy the food. Yet that may have been because it was a charter. We enjoyed the dining room or the upstairs casual restaurant which becomes an Italian restaurant at night. Happily, it was not a buffet, unless one wanted to go up and select items. We much preferred the lovely Italian servers bringing us our meal.
We also enjoyed two meals in the steakhouse. We found the personnel there most welcoming and accommodating, too. The beef was very good. Yet, as I have a great local butcher, and enjoy making a BBQ during decent weather, unlike some I do not get all excited about a steakhouse!
Service in the dining room, however, was not quite as good as was the food. Some of the servers were great: warm, friendly, yet also competent. Over 15 days there can be one or two food items that are not to ones taste--the better wait staff knew to check and to quickly rectify the situation. Alas, not all of the servers fit into that category.
We are used to on HAL our fixed table at 8PM, where we build a rapport with the same team of waiter, assistant waiter, and wine waiter over the cruise. While we do appreciate the flexibility of open seating available on smaller ships, one sacrifices, to some extent, that personal rapport which can, if one is lucky (and we have always had good luck on HAL in that regard), develop between server and customer.
The challenge for Regent and Seabourn is to imbue their wait staff with the feeling that, even if for one night, each passenger is "their" passenger, and the goal should be to make the evening special, for each guest. Not easy to accomplish, but worth aiming for.
In any case on this cruise we had a word with hotel management about some initial service issues, and happily, things improved.
The ports included Bermuda, and the shore excursions, also included, were very good. Unfortunately, a couple of the afternoon tours were cancelled. As I get up early most weekday mornings, the last thing I want to do on any cruise is get up early to go on tour. I prefer a leisurely morning. In most European ports, Regent did offer afternoon tours, and again, we enjoyed them.
We found the laundry to be expensive, albeit thankfully we were using "Monopoly money" (our ship-board credits) for that. Seabourn offers laundry at $50 for as much as one can stuff into a bag. Regent should follow that example. If I did not have sufficient credits, the cost of laundry would be a factor worth considering, along with the other factors such as included shore excursions, included air-fare, etc. There are, it seems, always trade-offs to be made.
The lectures were in our view poorly timed. The fellow who spoke at 10 AM I would have preferred hearing in the afternoon, and I could have skipped the afternoon guy who talked about photography. The onboard shows were decent, although the layout of the theatre makes it hard to find an unobstructed view unless you arrive early. Some of the specialty performers were excellent! The piano bar was ok. While the piano player could play, he often mangled the lyrics. A little more practice to make perfect may help. Bar staff there, however, were great.
The demographics of this cruise included, in our view, a somewhat older crowd. That made us feel comparatively younger (not a bad thing!). Still, we met a few folk to, on occasion, have a drink with. People were quite pleasant for the most part.
We were surprised that the dress code on Regent was specified as "elegant-casual" each night. Apparently for cruises of 15 days or less, there are no formal-optional nights. I had brought a couple of ties, yet never wore one. In the main dining room, however, most men did wear a sports-jacket or the ubiquitous navy blazer. People were for the most part indeed elegantly casual.
We flew home on May 30, and have to say that Amsterdam's airport is very disorganized. I would also warn folks not to connect through London-Heathrow, as the security and other line ups are horrendous. In hindsight, I would have tried for a non-stop flight which, as we all know, is the best bet.
Generally, and if the price is right, we would definitely return to Regent. Yet right now they seem to be charging nearly $1,000.00 per person per day. That is far more than what we paid for this cruise. So, if one can afford it, go for it--yet it pays to shop around.

A red flag warning was in effect Wednesday for the central and southern parts of the Garden State.
The National Weather Service says it hasn't rained in almost two weeks. Even Hurricane Earl was a bust, bringing no measurable rain to the tri-state area.
Low humidity and high winds also add to the risk of fire.
"We're so dry now we have all of our units out on patrol. That means we have firefighters in our trucks to be ready to respond as soon as the call goes out," said NJ Fire Warden Bert Plante.
More than 6,000 acres have burned in New Jersey forests, which is 5,000 more than last year.
"Conditions are very conducive for large fires. Any fire that starts is going to spread very rapidly and is going to be hard to put out. It runs a very high risk of becoming one of our major forest fires," said Plante.
Sod farm owner Sam Alloway of Vincentown in Burlington County says the low humidity and wind suck the moisture out of plants.
"We grow grass, and the conditions this year have been terrible because of droughts. We irrigate, but we can't irrigate enough to keep the grass alive," Alloway said.
At around 7:00 p.m. Gloucester County firefighters were called to first douse, then hose down hot spots, at brush fires along route 55.
Fire crews hosed down at least three sections of scorched brush in the median of the highway.
There is no word on how the fires began.
Everyone is being asked to be extra careful - a discarded cigarette or an ember from a charcoal grill could provide the spark needed for a major brush fire.

The correct choice of color and developer is essential for best results. The choice must be made bearing in mind the customer's natural hair color, the desired degree of lightening and the percentage of gray hair. The mixing ratio is 1:2 (1 part color for 2 parts developer). Use 10 Volume developer for deposit only or 1 level of lift; 20 Volume developer for 2 levels of lift; 30 Volume developer for 3 levels of lift; 40 Volume developer for 4 levels of lift.
Application: Using a non-metallic bowl, mix 3oz Mystic Divine(tm) Luminous Shine Permanent Liqui-Creme Hair Color with 6 oz of Mystic Divine Developer.
Processing Time: All instructions are based on average texture. If the hair is fine or coarse, adjustments should be made accordingly. Fine hair is much more receptive to hair coloring while coarse hair is not. 30 minutes for standard application; 45 minutes for maximum gray coverage.

Through the cooperation, we can offer the most advanced, energy-smart charging services for properties," says Janne Koski, Sales Director, Finland at Virta.

In this episode we break down the Law of Attraction and "positivity culture," and critique how they've been employed in the support of capital and other oppressive structures. In the second half of the episode, we temper this with a discussion around how we personally (or Mexie more specifically) reconcile our spirituality with anti-capitalist theory and praxis, acknowledging that these are loaded topics and that there will never be a one-size-fits-all answer for everyone.

Volcano Eruption Slot
Volcano Eruption is one of the crazier slots you can find on the net. It is colourful, it is vibrant, and it is quite unlike other volcano themed games doing the rounds on the net. With plenty of animal and hot rock high-playing card icons, Volcano Eruption is right up there for originality.
The game itself is a 5-reel, 25-line, NextGen Gaming developed slot. Players will find that Volcano Eruption offers you the chance to adjust your paylines, and your line bets.
Line bets vary from 0.01 up to 2.00 in all, giving you a wagering range with a floor bet of 0.01 per line, per spin, and a ceiling bet of 50.00 per spin when all of the paylines are taken into consideration. Up to 500x your total bet can be won in this video slot.
Volcano Eruption Slot Special features
The most entertaining part of the Volcano Eruption slot is the Eruption feature. We'll come to that in moment, though. First, let's talk about wilds. Wilds appear as volcanoes, and can appear on the second, third, and fourth reels of the slot. They can substitute for all other symbols in the game.
A gamble feature has been included in this slot, and after any winning spin you can choose to activate it, if you wish.
Scatter symbols are also present in Volcano Eruption. They do not trigger bonuses, and instead offer scattered wins only. Players can pocket scattered wins of 2x, or 5x their total bet for 2 or 3 landing scatters on the reels. Now, for the important part: scatters are actually wilds, and wilds are scatters. Yes, they are the same icon.
Bonus features, Scatters & Wilds
If you land 3 of the wild scatters on the reels, then you will trigger the aforementioned Eruption feature. This feature can see a central volcano icon (on reel 3) erupting and filling the entire reel with wilds. Players will be granted a total of 5 re-spins for this feature, with the central wild reel held. The wild reel will continue erupting and blasting hot wild symbols on the reels for the duration of the bonus round.

Dead is Tejinder Singh "Tee" Malli, 29, who was once aligned with the Red Scorpion gang, but went on to switch gang allegiances several times.

Gangster killled in double shooting on West Cordova Monday Back to video
He was charged in 2009 in the VPD's Project Rebellion that targeted gang violence in south Vancouver. But those charges were later stayed.
At the time of Project Rebellion, Malli was aligned with the Buttar group headed by Manny Buttar, but they later parted ways.
He was believed to also have a long-time dispute with someone linked to the United Nations gang.
Several police officers I spoke to who knew Malli said he had been warned several times about threats to his life.
"This was coming for a long time," one said.
Vancouver Police Sgt. Randy Fincham said the two victims were sitting in a parked vehicle outside the Shaw Tower at 1067 West Cordova, when the suspects approached the car and fired multiple rounds at the pair.

|Computer and video games
Headfirst Productions was a British video game studio established by father and son Mike and Simon Woodroffe (Adventure Soft) in 1998. The studio was an independent developer of games for both the console and PC market.
Games[edit | edit source]
- Battle of the Planets (cancelled)
- Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness (cancelled)
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (2005)
- Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End (vaporware)
- Call of Cthulhu: Tainted Legacy (cancelled)
- Deadlands (cancelled)
- Simon the Sorcerer 3D (2002)
Bankruptcy[edit | edit source]
After having published Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Headfirst had problems with publisher Bethesda Softworks regarding finances. Some time after that about half of the company left, so the second project's team (Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End), along with some people from the CoC:DCotE production team, stayed on board trying to keep working on the project, porting it to the next-gen consoles, while the directors were trying to secure a publishing deal for the game. After several months of struggle the company went into administration.
After that most unfortunate event, majority of staff have left to other West Midlands game companies, namely Codemasters, Eurocom and Sega Racing Studio. In February 2006, Headfirst Productions went into administration in an effort to pay off outstanding debts owed because of production costs associated with the many years of Cthulhu development, and other unsigned projects. Assets were liquidated, employees were laid off, and the company was dissolved less than a month later.[1]

I've been moving.
So, if you've run into some of my dusty mess here on Momfessions, please forgive me.
I know why people pay other people to do their blog dirty work– because it's dirty work. And complicated, and not user friendly (if the user is like me and knows zilch about computers and the interwebs.)
It'll take me a little while to get everything the way I like it– and I'm still waiting for my "naked domain" (momfessions.net) to direct traffic over here to http://www.momfessions.net. (I totally giggle every time I talk about my naked domain…)
As much as it stinks to sit here at the computer for hours on end writing code, troubleshooting, redo-ing and re-designing, it sure feels good to be cleaning up the place. I feel like a regularly scheduled maintenance is a good idea in every area of life.
My house needs to be de-cluttered, reorganized and shaped up every once in awhile (I mean how many junk drawers can one house contain?!) and when I let too much time pass before paying attention to problem areas (my closest, entryway closet, drawer in entertainment center, medicine and toiletry cabinet), handling these things becomes a really big, overwhelming job!
My heart needs overhauling and re-working pretty regularly too. It usually comes about through conviction from the Word and the Holy Spirit and takes much work to root out sin I have let take up residence and "clean house"! If I neglect regular maintenance of my spiritual life, I feel distant from the Lord, and often take my frustrations out on my husband and the Bugs.

Air China and Air Canada are preparing for the launch of non-stop flights between Beijing and Montreal, creating the first transpacific direct link between Asia and Quebec's largest city .
The flights will be operated by CA starting 29SEPT, initially 3x's a week, with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. AC will place its code on the flights for sale on a codeshare basis in the 1st phase of the operation. In the 2nd phase, subject to approvals, the 2 carriers say they intend to form a revenue sharing joint venture covering all flights between China and Canada.
Seats are now available for purchase.
With the launch of non-stop YUL-PEK service, the pair of Star Alliance airlines will offer connections and transfers to other cities in China , Canada and the U.S.
AC and CA signed a memorandum of understanding in November 2014 setting out the principles for an integrated revenue sharing joint venture. The MOU provides for an enhanced partnership on routes between China and Canada which is expected to stimulate traffic growth between the 2 countries. The joint venture is expected to come into effect in the 2nd half of 2015.
"We look forward to offering customers the first transpacific direct link from Montreal to Asia and developing our partnership with Air China through a joint venture that will provide customers of both carriers additional travel options," said Calin Rovinescu, President & Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada.
Rovinescu's counterpart at Air China, Song Zhiyong says the new route "will strengthen the links between China and Canada. We look forward to continuing to develop our enhanced partnership with Air Canada and to implementing our comprehensive joint venture upon receiving all necessary approvals."
Flight CA879 will depart PEK Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 13:00, arriving YUL at 13:50. CA880 will depart YUL on the same days at 16:20, arriving Beijing at 18:00.
With the new Beijing - Montreal route, Air China will place its CA code on Air Canada flights between YUL and select cities in Canada, subject to government approval. CA operates up to 11 flights per week between Beijing and Vancouver.
AC operates up to a total of 28 flights per week between Canada and China, from YYZ and YVR to and from PEK and PVD. CA offers codeshare flights operated by Air Canada between Vancouver and 6 Canadian cities while AC currently offers customers AC codeshare flights operated by Air China between Beijing and 6 cities in China.

The militants are preparing another provocation with the use of drones
On the Northern outskirts of the city of Maarret Annooman, Idleb province is a detachment of the group «Jabhat al-Nusra»*, consisting of specialists in the Assembly and management of unmanned aerial vehicles.
The armed group consists of about 50 attack drones, most of them homemade. Such aircraft, equipped with ammunition, are used by militants to bomb particularly important objects of government troops.
They were repeatedly used for attacks on the Russian airbase «Hmeymim».
At its base, the terrorists collect drones, as well as produce their repair. The efficiency of drones is not high. Most of the planes successfully destroyed by anti-aircraft still on approach to the target. However, their massive use by terrorists can be dangerous. In this case, some aircraft manage to break through to the target and strike.
The fact that the placement of this «plane» of the gang of terrorists dedicated considerable territory fenced with a high fence, speaks about the importance of running its task. At the same time, the concentration of such a large number of drones in one place directly indicates the militants ' preparations for another provocation using drones.
* Forbidden in the Russian terrorist organization.

The Wallace Group is in need of a Board of
Directors for their corporation. The board of directors has
an obligation to approve all decision that might affect the
long run performance of the corporation. Harold Wallace
has acted as a one man board of director, making all final
decisions for the Wallace Group. The board of director's

top management. Controlling, monitoring, or supervising
top management. Reviewing and approving the use of
resources and caring for shareholder interests. (Wheelen &
The next important problem that the Wallace Group
is facing is the fact that they have never created or
implemented a strategic management. The role of the board
of directors in strategic management is to carry out three
basic tasks. The first if to monitor, by acting through its
committees and to pay attention to developments inside and
outside the corporation and bringing these to the attention
of management.
The next would be to evaluate and
influence management proposal, decisions, and actions;
give advice and offer suggestions. The final is to initiate

mission and specific strategy.
Strategic management is a technique you can use to
create a favorable future and help your organization to
prosper. To create this favorable future, you must involve
your organization's stakeholders (anyone with a vested
interest in achieving your organization's goal) in
envisioning the most desirable future and then in working
together to make this vision a reality. The key to strategic
management is to understand that people communicating
and working together will create this future, not some

New Arrivals @ Pi
spring cleaning
It's that time y'all.. You know the one between seasons and you're probably making a face sort of like the one above. It's that time where you have all your warmer items and probably have either dug out your cooler items or been shopping for them and its just piling up. If you find yourself getting anxious just by walking to your wardrobe and feeling discouraged (horrible way to start the day) than keep reading because I'm going to go over 3 simple steps to automatically lift some weight off your shoulders.
STEP 1: This is probably going to be the easiest and the longest at the same time. I want you to take all your clothes and hang them on a hanger. Now, if you're thinking "Umm.. I fold my clothes, I'm not doing that" just hear me out. You don't have to invest in a million hangers you can unhang and rehang items are we go. Any who, I want you to hang items and inspect them. What I mean by inspecting them is looking for any damages like holes, or stains. Can the stain be removed? If not, why are you keeping it? Can the hole be repaired, patched or is it even worth repairing? If you answered, no, again, why are you keeping it?
Lets now create three piles. Keep, Toss, Repair.
STEP 2: Okay now that we have have a few piles started now (Keep, Toss, Repair) we are going to take them down even more and add a fourth called maybe. We're going to start with the keep pile. Are you keeping it because you actually wear it, or you keeping it because you just cant say goodbye? If you can't remember the last time you wore it, why are you keeping it? I know.. at this point you're probably hating me but I promise at the end you'll be thanking me later #ThanksDecember. Now take this piece that you can't remember when you wore it and start a fourth pile. We'll call this the maybe pile. A few items that you can exclude from this are items like wedding gowns or your heavy winter coats. You have my permission to keep those in the keep pile even if its been awhile.
STEP 3: By now you should have between three and four piles happening (Keep, Toss, Repair + Maybe).
Starting with the keep pile, we're going to decide if it needs to really be kept out. If you're looking at a winter coat and it's a solid 98* outside, you need to ask yourself why is it still in the closet? Now, I know that space can be an issue. I actually cannot stash mine anywhere, we don't have an attic and we don't have a basement. If interior space is an issue my suggestion is purchase a nice Rubbermaid tub and stick in the garage somewhere or invest in a under the bed box or bag. If push comes to shove maybe ask a family member to borrow a few square feet in their home basement or attic for any of seasonal items. PLEASE DO NOT just toss in there though, you need to label it. I personally like to sort of put a deadline on it (F/W open August 28th ect...) and make yourself an reminder on your phone.
Now on to the toss pile. This can be a little hard because I know that our world is suffering like crazy from landfill issues and that fast fashion has done some serious damage to third world countries so let's think about up-cycling first before we just toss in the trash. If it doesn't have stains or holes, consider donating it or listing on resale site. One of my favorite is Poshmark (use code STRAWBABYKISSES when you join to snag $5 off your first purchase). If it does have stains or holes ask yourself can you cut it up for wash rags or cleaning cloths? Is it denim? Ask yourself can you cut into shorts or better yet, you can send it here to be made into amazing jewelry.
And now to the repair pile. Give yourself a time frame to get these things done. Lets say two weeks because well.. life happens. If your task and repairs aren't done withing that time frame, chances are they aren't doing to get done.
And lastly, our maybe pile. You need to TRY THESE ON! Have fun with it. Do you feel drab or fab in it?
Round of applause. You have taken the first few steps to de-clutter and get your closet back into shape. Now if you need additional tips/tricks or help we do offer two amazing services here at the boutique and you can find more information about those here.

Nigerian Authorities Urge Prosecution of Sheikh Zakzaky
- December, 06, 2016 - 16:20
- Other Media news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Authorities in a Nigerian state have called for the prosecution of Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky who was recently ordered to be released after nearly a year of detention without trial.
The government of Kaduna State on Monday said Zakzaky should be put on trial for the alleged "lawlessness" of his group, the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), for the past 30 years.
In October, authorities in the state declared the mainstream Shiite group as illegal as part of the state crackdown against the Muslim community. On Monday, the Kaduna government accused the group of "allegiance to a foreign power."
The news comes few days after the federal high court of Nigeria ruled that Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat, should be released unconditionally.
The prominent cleric and his wife were taken into custody on December 14, 2015, after deadly clashes between the supporters of the IMN movement and Nigerian troops.
Nearly 350 members of the Shiite movement were killed in the clashes. The sheikh was brutally injured and his house was reportedly destroyed by the army in the incident.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole said he had given 45 days for authorities to provide new accommodation for the Zakzaky family. The judge also said the state security service would pay Sheikh Zakzaky and his wife $78,984 each in compensation for the violation of their rights by being held in unlawful custody for nearly a year.
Monday's call could threaten the release of Zakzaky as the Kaduna government could bring charges against him, according to Press TV.
Last month, nearly 100 IMN supporters were killed when Nigerian forces fired live rounds and tear gas at mourners during a peaceful march ahead of the Arba'een mourning rituals. Authorities also destroyed a number of buildings belonging to the IMN.
The Nigerian government has stepped up its crackdown on the IMN since the December 2015 deadly incident.

This award would be posthumously awarded to important individuals on November 25.
Furthermore, the criteria for proposing candidates for the Sixth of April Award will be on a higher level next year.

Apple and Sausage French Toast Casserole with Cinnamon Syrup
Recipe submitted by: Amy Pickett
Recipe courtesy of: www.justapinch.com
The sweet smell of french toast and sausage gets everybody up every time!
What's in it
1 lb loaf of challah or french bread, cubed
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 c brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
6 eggs, slightly beaten
2 c whole milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 c seedless raisins
5 oz dried apples, diced
1 granny smith apple, peeled and chopped
1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
1 c brown sugar, packed
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 c water
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
How to cook it
- Spread cubed bread in a single layer on 2 sheet pans and bake in a 325 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Cool slightly then transfer bread into a greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla.
- Sprinkle the raisins, dried apples, chopped apple and the sausage over the bread. Now pour the egg mixture over the bread. With a spoon, gently push the bread down until it is soaked.
- You can bake it now or cover with foil and refrigerate overnight to bake in the morning.
- If you are baking it in the morning leave the casserole at room temperature while the oven preheats. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F, for 35 - 45 minutes just until the center is set.
- While the french toast is baking, prepare the cinnamon syrup. Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan. Combine the water and corn starch in a measuring cup then pour into the pan.
- Cook over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and butter. It will be the consistency of syrup.
- When the french toast is out of the oven drizzle some syrup over it and serve the rest on the side. By now everyone has smelled it cooking and they will be ready to eat! Serve hot.

Does beef production have an impact on biodiversity?
Cattle have the same positive effect on biodiversity as the herds of bison that once roamed the Prairies of Western Canada. By grazing, cattle promote species diversity in grassland areas. Grazing curbs the growth of grasses that would otherwise be so dense, flowering plants and other species wouldn't be able to compete. Similarly, beef production on farms promotes species diversity, making agriculture more productive and sustainable. The use of manure as fertilizer enhances the soil's nutrient
content, allowing other species to flourish. Source: Canadian Cattlemen's Association
Why are antibiotics used in beef production?
Beef producers use antibiotics to ensure optimum health of their animals. In order to maintain animal health, antibiotics may be used to prevent the onset of disease, halt its progression or prevent the spread of illness after it occurs. Only healthy animals grow and reproduce well. Source: Canadian Cattlemen's Association
Are all cattle given hormones?
Each beef producer makes a business decision on the use of hormonal substances. This decision is based on many factors, including the cost/benefit of purchasing and administering the hormone. However, since cattle are bought and sold, there is only one way to ensure that a beef product has never received any hormonal substance. One must purchase beef, which has appropriate verification that it has been sourced from cattle that have been raised without the use of hormonal substances, such as certified organic beef. There is no such thing as hormone-free beef. Even beef raised organically will contain hormones. All animal products contain hormones because all animals produce hormones naturally. The hormone levels found in a sample of organic beef are similar to beef from animals given hormonal substances. For more information see Understanding Hormone Use in Beef. Source: Canada Beef Inc.
What is the difference between grass fed cattle and grain finished cattle?
There is much debate over the benefits of grass finished or grain finished beef. All cattle spend the majority of their lives eating grass on pastures. Those that are grain finished, are fed a mixture of grain to their hay and forage (grasses) diets for about four to six months. While an animal's diet can impact beef's fatty acid profile, it remains primarily monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids regardless of the feeding practice. For example, extended grain feeding can actually increase the amount of monounsaturated fat, a heart-healthy fat which has cholesterol-lowering effects.
- One-third of the saturated fat in beef is stearic acid, which has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol levels and is the same fat recognized in chocolate for its benefits. Polyunsaturated fatty acids represent the smallest class of lipids found in beef which include omega-3, omega-6 and conjugated linoleic acid.
- Preliminary studies have shown that grass fed beef has elevated levels of Omega 3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). However, more research is required to determine whether these increased levels are high enough to provide positive health benefits. Source: Canada Beef Inc.
What are beef producers and meat processors doing to prevent E. coli O157:H7?
As few as 10 bacteria are all it takes to cause illness from E. coli O157:H7. As these bacteria are very common, every part of the food and water production system must work to control the risk. The beef industry has invested in research projects with the goal of reducing or eliminating these bacteria, including vaccines to prevent E. coli O157:H7 growth in live cattle and the search for feeds that may prevent its spread. The beef industry has also developed methods to treat meat surfaces with steam to reduce E. coli O157:H7 during processing. Beef producers are developing and adopting on-farm manure management plans. These plans include procedures to keep manure away from water supplies. Meat processors have also developed internationally recognized systems known as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) plans to control E.coli O157:H7 and other foodborne bacteria. These plans identify potential food safety hazards and monitor the most important production steps (critical points) to ensure these hazards are controlled before the product is sent to the grocery store.

The end of September heralds an exciting time of the year for music lovers. Winter is thawing, the days get longer and festival season begins. Listen Out is one of my favourite festivals of the year as the reckoner of fun days to come.
Listen Out has changed venue from when I last attended two years ago. 'The Catani Gardens' in St Kilda, where St Kilda Fest is usually held, is a perfect venue for this type of Festival. Close to public transport makes it easy to access, being near the beach makes for a picturesque backdrop against which to boogie the day away.
Thanks to short lines and speedy security we got to the '909 Stage' by quarter past two, in time to catch Willow Beats. Her slightly spaced out vibe was chilled out, creating the perfect setting within which to kick back on the grass with a cider and enjoy the sun.
After about half an hour of Willow Beats we ducked across to the 'Atari Stage' to see Ngaiire. Despite there not being much of a crowd (it still being relatively early in the day) she brought with her an energy that made for a vibrant atmosphere with space to dance. 'Around' is one of my favourite songs right now and was even better live.
After Ngaiire finished we dropped past 'Mr Burger' to grab ourselves a tasty snack and re-energise for the acts to come. At four pm we ducked back to the '909 Stage'. This stage had a ripper back-to-back lineup; LDRU into Gorgon City into Claptone. The day was about to get that much better.
LDRU are great performers, I was excited for tracks like 'Next To You' and 'Keeping Score'. Although they nailed their set, dubstep is a genre that I find a bit hard to listen to for longer than about 20 minutes. After they had played their most popular songs the sound became a bit wearying.
Gorgon City brought it back again with an awesome DJ set. They were groovy and fun, with tracks like 'Imagination' and 'Ready For Your Love' being crowd favourites.
One of the acts this year that I haven't seen before was Claptone, so I was especially excited to see them. Claptone absolutely did not let me down on Saturday. 'Wrong', 'Leave the Light on' and 'The Only Thing' were absolutely electric.
At headliner o'clock, while most of the people at the festival were crushing on to the 'Atari Stage' for RÜFÜS, I thought I would branch out a bit and go to Tchami. This turned out to be a poor decision. Tchami was very heavy, attracting a crowd of a much rougher sort who, at that time of the day, were a little at the end of their tether. The atmosphere was pretty average, as most people were at the other stages. So with Tchami getting a solid 3/10 we decided to cut our losses, give in to the pack mentality and go back to RÜFÜS.
One can argue that the amount of touring and performing that RÜFÜS has done has given them a wealth of experience, resulting in an A+ live show. Their songs are uplifting and everyone knows the words to them. The very first Listen Out that I went to was the festival's debut. That was also the first time that I saw RÜFÜS, who were one of the smaller acts with a short set at 2pm. The last three years have seen huge growth for both RÜFÜS and Listen Out. It seemed a fitting act to finish on. 'Innerbloom' gets me every time.
Listen Out has become one of my go-to festivals. Year after year the organisers pull out the stops. The show is well planned and organised, laid out expertly with top notch artists that draw just the right kind of crowd for a diverse group of people. If they keep going this way I will continue to be attending for many years to come.
Rating: ★★★★★
There are still two more Listen Out's going down this weekend in Sydney and Brisbane, so if you're in those areas we recommend you go and spend the day in the sun at one of Australia's best boutique festivals with some really great music.
