NATS launches London airspace consultation
NATS has started a consultation on proposed airspace changes over southern England.
The London Airspace Consultation will run until January 21st 2014 and will be available online for stakeholders and the public to view and leave feedback that will help with the modernisation of the UK's airspace structure.
This consultation is the first stage in a wider programme of proposed changes to deliver the UK's Future Airspace Strategy, developed by the Civil Aviation Authority with the support of the aviation industry.
It will deliver significant benefits, including fuel savings for airlines, which will also mean fewer CO2 emissions, and less noise overall for people living below.
Aircraft today use very accurate navigation technology and new European legislation requires all member States, including the UK, to revise airspace and maximise the use of these new technologies.
Change is therefore inevitable and the focus of this consultation is on how best to enable that change.
After listening to feedback from previous consultations, this consultation is on swathes of airspace – not on proposed routes.
The final route positions will only be determined after consideration of the feedback from the consultation.
The new design concept being implemented for this programme, making the most of new navigation capability, will also significantly reduce the use of conventional holds (or stacks), and put new route structures over the sea where possible.
The net effect of these proposals will be less noise – aircraft will climb higher, more quickly on departure and stay higher for longer on arrival.
Flight paths will eventually change – and this may mean some areas will be overflown more than today, others less, and some will not notice any significant change.
For Gatwick routes, the consultation is being run jointly by NATS and Gatwick Airport, with Gatwick leading consultation on changes below 4,000ft, and NATS on changes above 7,000ft.
Consultation on changes planned for airspace between 4,000 and 7,000ft will be managed jointly.
NATS is leading the consultation on the intermediate and network airspace proposals for the other airports; London City is not yet in a position to proceed with low level change proposals, which will be subject to a future consultation.
Later stages will address proposals for airspace supporting other parts of the London airports network, to be complete by 2020.
Juliet Kennedy, NATS' operations director, Swanwick, said: "The airspace change programme is essential if we are to contribute to and ensure the success of the UK's Future Airspace Strategy.
"The airspace above London is the most complex in the world, and as traffic levels increase change is necessary to ensure safety and service levels."

College of Nursing wins $1.9 million research grant
College of Nursing wins $1.9 million research grant
The University of Iowa College of Nursing has been awarded a five-year, $1.9 million grant by the National Institute of Nursing Research at the National Institutes of Health in order to establish the UI Center for Advancing Multimorbidity Science (CAMS).
CAMS will be one of three centers across the nation tasked with tackling the research challenges of scientific investigators who study adult patients with multiple chronic conditions. Multimorbidity science entails a shift in clinical practice from a single disease focus to one that addresses multiple symptoms and chronic conditions within social and biological contexts.
"This center will help…clinicians care for patients in a more targeted and customized manner," says Barbara Rakel, professor of nursing, who will co-direct CAMS with Sue E. Gardner, also a professor of nursing. "This, in turn, should reduce health care costs and improve patient outcomes."

Sallie Krawcheck, one of the financial industry's most well-known—and controversial—executives has joined the advisory board of Gold Bullion International, the company announced Wednesday.
The appointment of Krawcheck, who was forced out as President of Bank of America's Global Wealth Management group in September, is effective immediately.
"We're extremely pleased that Sallie will be lending her exceptional talent to our team of advisors," Savneet Singh, GBI's CEO, said in a statement. "She is one of the financial industry's most influential leaders, and her appointment reinforces the strength and depth of our organization and platform."
Krawcheck was in charge of global wealth and investment management during her tenure with Bank of America, overseeing $2.2 trillion in total client balances. Before joining BofA, she was CEO and Chairman of Citi Global Wealth Management.
"I saw the value of the GBI model and philosophy as soon as I was introduced to the company and its management," Krawcheck said. Creating a seamless platform and democratizing the ownership of physical gold and precious metals is much overdue and another important tool for investors."
Krawcheck joins four other well-known individuals on GBI's advisory board, including Gen. Wesley K. Clark; John Hathaway, senior managing director and member of the Investment Committee at Tocqueville Asset Management; former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Arthur Levitt; and Dan Tapiero, who manages a global macro portfolio at SAC Capital.
The GBI platform streamlines the system of purchasing, vaulting and owning physical precious metals. The company claims it is the first in the industry to "technologically integrate onto a wealth management workstation, and allows clients to manage specifically allocated products in a cost-effective manner, permitting the purchase of precious metals as easily as ordering a stock or a bond."
Recently, GBI also announced a program that allows publicly traded companies to offer shareholders their dividends in physical gold or silver, instead of cash.

Need legal help with a business law matter?
Business laws include all municipal, state, and federal laws that regulate businesses and commerce. Some industries, such as finance, face specific laws and regulations that apply to those in the field. Businesses of all types also must conform to many regulations that apply across the board, such as environmental regulations and advertising laws.
A business lawyer can help you address the myriad legal issues that arise when you are starting a new venture, operating an established company, or winding up or selling a business.
Business lawyers handle a broad spectrum of legal issues that confront companies. For new ventures, a business lawyer can help with business formation decisions, including selecting the proper business form, such a partnership, LLC or corporation, or addressing financial compliance issues when raising capital. In addition, business lawyers can offer advice when reviewing leases, purchase agreements, and other types of contracts. Other issues covered in this practice area include employee compensation and benefits, building relationships with independent contractors and other entities, and compliance with relevant advertising regulations.
While most business lawyers deal in transactional work (contracts and forms), some also litigate business disputes that arise from transactional work. Business litigation attorneys may handle issues such as breach of contract claims, consumer class action lawsuits, and wrongful termination claims.
Business judgment rule: a presumption that directors making a business decision, not involving self-interest, act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that their actions are in the corporation's best interest.
Pierce the veil: A court no longer affords a shareholder of a corporation the protection of limited liability when the corporation has neglected corporate formalities and intermingled assets between the shareholder and the corporation.

Postdoctoral Fellow - Epigenetic Regulation in Cancer - Lab of Hong Wen
Postdoctoral Fellowships
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in Dr. Hong Wen's laboratory in the Center for Epigenetics at Van Andel Institute.
The Wen lab is interested in understanding epigenetic regulation of chromatin and transcription during normal and cancer development. The long-term goal of the lab is to understand the molecular mechanisms by which histone modifications regulate chromatin and transcription, and how dysregulation of histone modification homeostasis leads to human cancer. Following early discoveries on seveal epigenetic readers (Wen and Li et al, Nature, 2014, Li and Wen et al, Cell, 2014; Wan and Wen et al, Nature, 2017; Wan et al, Nature, 2020), the current focus of the lab is to use cutting-edge technologies including CRISPR-Cas9 mouse models to elucidate the function of histone methylation and acetylation in the regulation of transcription elongation.
The candidate postdoc will have opportunity to work on functional characterization of epigenetic regulators using CRISPR mouse models, and discovery and characterization of novel epigenetic regulators in transcription elongation.
Specifically, we are interested in candidates with a background in epigenetics, mouse development and genetics.
- A Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology or genetics research fields.
- Knowledge and experience with epigenetics, mouse development and genetics models are preferred.

- A strong ability to take initiative and work independently, as well as in a team environment.
- A collaborative, hands-on researcher who proactively shares knowledge and expertise with lab members.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills.
Van Andel Institute (VAI) provides postdoctoral training opportunities to scientists beginning their research careers. The fellowships are to help promising scientists advance their knowledge and research experience and at the same time support the research endeavors of VAI under the mentorship of a VAI Faculty member.
While this project is currently funded, an integral part of postdoctoral training is the process of preparing a research proposal and writing a fellowship application. All VAI Postdoctoral Fellows are encouraged to apply for external funding as soon as it is practical and reasonable after hire. Receiving a fellowship award provides recognition for both the fellow and VAI!

This Matthews 38 Sports Sedan was built in Port Clinton, Ohio in 1941 for William M. Passano, the owner of Waverly Press in Baltimore, Maryland. Delivery was taken in Ohio. Pasasno sailed Galatea with his family 1,100 miles through the inland waterways to their home on Gibson Island in the Chesapeake Bay. The trip was chronicled in the February 1942 issue of "The Rudder." Mr. Passano owned and cared for her for the next 47 years of his life.
In 1988, she was purchased by Tom and Patricia Skahill, and brought to Newport Harbor Yacht Club and renamed her Patrician. After much love and care, the Skahills donated her to Orange Coast College in 2002, and was subsequently acquired by Allen Stewart of Balboa Yacht Club. For the past 12 years, she has been under some state of renovation to return her to her original beauty and name, Galatea. She conjures up a step back in time to fond memories of the 1940's before World War II began.

By W. Thomas Smith Jr.
The world is chaotic (It's only going to get worse), and destiny favors the prepared. These two realities are the first of what are known as the "eight stands of a warrior," all of which we'll cover in a forthcoming lesson.
Today we want to focus on destiny favoring the prepared, because – for the leader – both destiny and preparation are everything.
First of all, what is destiny? My Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as "a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency." In other words, destiny is what is going to happen whether we like it or not. And just how that destiny plays out has much to do with our preparation as leaders.
Granted, we have a great deal of control over the course we set for our futures, and charting a course has tremendous leverage in predetermining our futures. But pure destiny is in the hand of God.
What about preparation? In previous lessons, we've discussed the five mountains – mind, body, intuition, emotional awareness (and control) and spirit – which must be achieved if we are to become the whole man (or whole woman) we desire to be as leaders. These five mountains – particularly the mind, body, and spirit – also serve as the underpinnings of any personal preparation.
We cannot fully control or prevent destiny. But we can prepare ourselves to deal with it. As leaders, we must.
Failure to prepare ourselves – particularly when we are responsible for the lives and well-being of others – is utterly (in some instances, criminally) irresponsible. And though I am writing this primarily from a military perspective, the idea of destiny favoring the prepared also has absolute application for business, political, academic, social, and spiritual, really any kind of leadership.
As my friend U.S. Navy SEAL (Ret.) Commander Mark Divine – an experienced special-operations leader and founder of the successful SEALFIT program – tells us, "Living with your head buried in the sand of ignorance, denial, or non-presence is a recipe for disaster."
He's right. For the leader, it also spells disaster for those whom you are responsible for.
Divine adds, "We have all heard people complain about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This can't happen. Wherever you are, there you are. You are either –
"a) At the right place at the right time (you are present and the time is now), or
"b) At the right place at the wrong time (you are present but your head is in the past or future)."
So how do we avoid being at the right place (which is where we are always going to be) at the wrong time (which is where we never want to be)?
Be a Boy Scout
The Boy Scout motto is "be prepared." Sounds simple: But just for fun and a bit more illumination, I turned to my old Boy Scout Handbook (1970 edition). It says, "The Scout motto means that you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty and to face danger, if necessary, to help others."
Aha! We see mind and body: Two of the five mountains.
Interestingly, we also see that the Scout Law – wherein a Boy Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent – encompasses two other mountains; emotional awareness and control (under "cheerful") and spirit (under "reverent").
Intuition, the fifth mountain, is perhaps a bit beyond what is taught in the Boy Scouts, because intuition is – as we've discussed – the very real "power of attaining direct knowledge without evident rational thought and inference." (see https://dailycaller.com/2012/02/03/leadership-101-intuition-and-service-2/)
Prepared leaders are often described – or viewed – in the context of who will be leading at the collapse of civilization. It's a great way to break down the differences between so-called survivalists and real survivors.
Basically there are two types of post-apocalyptic leaders. We have the stockpiling last-stander on the one hand, and the guerrilla leader on the other.
The stockpiling last-stander will last only as long as his food, water, medicines, generators, and ammunition hold out. Or as long as his walls hold or his formations stand fast. He fancies himself a survivor. He's frankly kidding himself. The stockpiling last-stander has only prepared himself to extend the miserable time he has remaining to breathe in his overly prepared grave.
The truly prepared leader is the guerrilla leader.
The guerrilla leader is the leader who – with his charges – is not willing to limit himself behind fixed positions. He doesn't have to, because (having mastered the five mountains) he is fully prepared to meet destiny and perhaps amend it to his benefit. We saw this type of leader – as I mentioned in the previous lesson – in the Apollo 13 astronauts, who refused to just sit in their crippled spacecraft and survive for a time (until their oxygen was depleted); and British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, who when stranded with his men in the frigid Antarctic, refused to sit and wait to be rescued (and probably perish).
The guerrilla leader is able to melt into the backcountry. He is able to read a map and compass, live off the land (hunt, fish, and forage), make use of what others have discarded, adapt, move, change, draw on God's strength, and embrace every day as a new opportunity to follow a better path forward. He is physically fit, smart, flexible, resourceful, brave, and, yes, decisive, which is what we leaders – no matter our leadership realm – always have to be.
Stay with us. There's so much more, including a great deal more on destiny favoring the prepared. Previous Leadership 101 pieces are available here. If you have questions or suggestions, I'm at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Waterproof panniers keep your gear clean and dry while you ride. Reflective stripes increase nighttime visibility, and anchor spots let you attach bike lights. Simple installation onto your bicycle rack. Detachable shoulder straps included.
These Thule Pack 'n Pedal Shield panniers are great for a road adventure or a simple trip to the store on your bike. Each bag has plenty of storage space for snacks, clothes, bike repair gear, and more. Waterproof vinyl material protects your gear in all conditions, and reflective trim helps make these bags visible at night. The bags attach to your Thule Tour bike rack in seconds, and they mount to most other bike racks with included hardware.
Each bag has a large main compartment so you can throw a jacket or pair of shoes inside. These main compartments have rolltops that secure with buckles and straps. The rolltop design makes it easy to access your cargo. And there's no zipper that could snag, break, or allow water to leak into the bag.
Internal pockets let you organize small items such as your wallet, phone, and granola bars.
The bags are constructed of waterproof nylon with welded seams to ensure your gear stays clean and dry. The nylon is IP64 rated, meaning it blocks both dust and water from getting into the bag. Whether you ride across the desert or splash through a few puddles, these bags will protect your spare socks and other valuables.
The bags also have reflective diagonal stripes on the front and side panels to help drivers see you better while you ride at night.
Each bag has 2 anchor spots - one on each side - so that you can attach bike lights (sold separately) for additional visibility.
The Thule panniers have built-in mounting hooks that let you attach the bags to the side rails of your Thule Tour bike rack.
To install a bag, simply pull up on the integrated loop to open the mounting hooks, and place the hooks at the desired location on the side rail of the Tour rack. Release the loop, allowing the hooks to lock onto the rack's rail. To complete installation, align the metal sheet in the back of the bag with the rare earth magnet attachment on your bike frame.
This magnet attachment prevents the bag from swinging around as you ride.
Once you arrive at your destination, attach the included messenger-style shoulder straps or use the built-in grab handles to comfortably take your bags with you. When you're not using the shoulder straps, just toss them inside the bags.
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.

We were delighted to support the Braxted Park Great Pancake Challenge yesterday which has raised over £900 for Farleigh Hospice
Over 80 "tossers" put their pancake skills to the test and competed in the inaugural Braxted Park Great Pancake Challenge to raise money for Farleigh Hospice.
In total 520 pancakes were tossed throughout the day, using over 200 eggs, 17kg flour, 50 lemons and almost 50 pints of milk, all donated by local businesses including Marriage's, Arla Food, Tiptree Farm Eggs and Anglia Produce.
Nine teams took part in the event including Davonport Kitchens, Effective Business Networking, SMP Healthcare and Allwag Promotions. The chefs at Braxted Park, who each gave their time voluntarily for the event, taught each team how to make the perfect pancake and then the teams took to the kitchen to battle it out for first prize.
The Cookery School at Braxted Park hosted the Great Pancake Challenge as part of the Farleigh Hospice £50 challenge which has seen 50 businesses try to turn £50 into as much money as possible for the charity. Farleigh Hospice works to provide support tolocal people affected by life limiting illnesses and to support those who have been bereaved.

Study: Celecoxib can cause arrhythmias
U.S. medical researchers have determined the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib (Celebrex) can adversely affect heart rhythm in fruit fly and rat models.
COX-2 inhibitors such as celecoxib have come under scrutiny due to adverse cardiovascular side-effects stemming from COX-2 reduction. But the new study found the drug-induced arrhythmia is independent of the COX-2 enzyme.
Satpal Singh and colleagues at the State University of New York at Buffalo tested various celecoxib doses on the heart rate of the fruit fly Drosophila. They found celecoxib reduced heart rate and increased beating irregularities.
The finding was a surprise, the researchers said, since Drosophila do not have COX-2 enzymes. Rather, the scientists said, celecoxib might directly inhibit the potassium channels that help generate the electric current that drives heartbeat.
Singh and colleagues note that since the arrhythmia effects bypass COX-2, it is unclear if other COX-2 inhibitors would yield similar results. They also stress it is too early to speculate on human effects.
The research appears in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

So a little while back I purchased Mario Maker and I had no regrets the moment I got it and still have none. If you are into level design for fun or because its your passion I recommend this game. The editor is not very limited we can create our own stuff. There is something about going back to our childhood games and making a level for it that shouldn't be skipped. It's quite easy to use but you have a lot of freedom and little things to learn. This was my first Mario level here and I made it about a few months ago.
This game is really nice and especially fun its also easy to change the theme/background. of your created levels. So say you built your level in caves but wanted it to be in the castle setting instead. A click of a button can switch your background theme.

I couldn't help myself! So here it is…
another Blake Griffin Kia Optima commercial where he goes back in time again.
Not as good as the 1995 one but still funny.
Ah~ why do I enjoy these stupid commercials so much?!
I'm still not going to buy a Kia Optima though…even if it comes with UVO.

In 2017, the Caribbean and Mexico were hit with a wave of bad circumstances due to hurricanes and violence. As a result, sales for Marriott Caribbean and Mexico Resorts were affected negatively. Marriott was faced with the challenge of changing travelers' perception that the region was back in business. The best way to change that perception for travelers was to take them there so they could see for themselves.
Utilizing the latest Apple AR kit, the "Portal to Paradise" app was developed as a way to do just that, giving users the opportunity to transport themselves to paradise from anywhere. Users downloaded the app directly to their iOS mobile device. Once in the app, they were prompted to identify a flat surface at which to aim the phone. An entry point appeared that allowed consumers to walk through the door and be instantly "transported" onto the white-sand beaches of the Caribbean or Mexico. Users could then choose from a list of participating resorts from the region, enticing them to experience the luxurious rooms and breathtaking grounds of each resort. The app launched at an event held in Grand Central Station in New York City. More than 600 guests had the opportunity to engage with the app for a chance to win instant trips.
In just the first 4 weeks of the campaign, we already saw 4.1M impressions, 221K in earned media, and 2.5K app downloads. These are all great indicators of a drastic shift from a negative to a much more positive perception of the hotels in the region.
The team behind the creation of the app:
Jayson Fittipaldi - Chief Creative
Joa Tous - Creative Director
Sarah Daoudi - Art Director
Carlos Rangel - Head of Production
Rosely Del Castillo - Producer
Peter Mueller - Social Media Manager
Norma Alvarez - Account Director

The doctors of Grey's Anatomy are not finished singing.
Many of the ABC drama's cast gathered Sunday night at UCLA's Royce Hall to belt out tunes that were featured in last year's musical episode, "Song Beneath the Song." Although the episode was quite serious — a pregnant Callie (Sara Ramirez) flew through a car windshield and hallucinated her co-workers singing as they desperately tried to save her life — Sunday's "The Songs Beneath the Show" event, benefitting the Actors Fund, was a lighthearted affair.
Anatomy of Shonda Rhimes, the busiest woman in Hollywood
Sandra Oh and Eric Dane acted as emcees for the night, though Dane desperately wanted to join in on the action. Apparently, he can't sing a lick, but that didn't stop him from trying to jam out on a guitar and even slipping Grey's music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas his demo, which she promptly tossed.
Ramirez, Kevin McKidd and Chandra Wilson opened the show with Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars," which was followed by renditions of Get Set Go's "Wait," Jesus Jackson's "Running on Sunshine" and The Fray's "How to Save a Life" sung by cast members Sarah Drew, Kim Raver, James Pickens Jr., Justin Chambers and a pregnant Jessica Capshaw. Chambers also brought out his three daughters to sing "Young Folks" from Peter, Bjorn & John, which was not featured in the musical episode.
Everything you need to know about the Grey's Anatomy musical episode
Following a special performance by Ingrid Michaelson, Oh then asked the crowd if Grey's should do another musical. Though the rowdy crowd begged for more, the cast decided to read fan comments that both praised and panned the show's previous effort. The cast decided it would be a while before they'd try it again. "Maybe Season 13," they joked.
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC.

Another flower ready for hand stitching together. I do a whip stitch with matching thread color.
Here is the first hexagon flower hand appliqued onto the background that will eventually be used as a placemat or topper. My plan is to sew the backing and batting with right sides together leaving an opening to turn back to right sides out. I will machine stitch around the edge 1/4 inch that will close up the opening and help to finish the edge. Then I will do machine quilting around the hexagons and 1/4 inch along inside edges to help secure the layers.
These will be awesome placemats to use in my new house wherever or whenever.....

Travel Tips
Cradle Mountain / Kelly Slater
Good to know
Here's some background on Tassie's Western Wilds to help you make the most of your time here.
Regular flights to Tasmania depart from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth and fly direct to either Hobart or Launceston. Direct flights are also available from Melbourne to Wynyard (Burnie) and Devonport. Shuttle buses operate out of all Tasmanian airports.
Follow the River Derwent from Hobart and within an hour you'll be on the fringes of the Western Wilds. From Launceston, the drive to reach the Western Wilds will take a little longer – about two hours.
Alternatively, you can cross Bass Strait on the Spirit of Tasmania. Departing from Melbourne and arriving in Devonport, this has the added benefit of letting you bring a car.
Once you're off the boat, head south-west and within an hour you'll be entering the Western Wilds.
Tasmania is fortunate to have four distinct seasons. This is one of the reasons many people come to visit. They are curious to experience a true cosy winter, a spring full of blooms, a summer where the days linger, and an autumn bursting with colour.
It's these seasonal changes that make Western Tasmania's wilderness breathtaking at any time of year.
With good roads and scenic views wherever you look, journeys in Tasmania's west can be simply spectacular.
Most roads in the Western Wilds are sealed. However, some adventures lie at the end of gravel roads. Before embarking, consider your vehicle's capability and your driving experience, and always drive to the conditions.
Road closures due to natural disaster or extreme weather conditions are advised on the TasALERT website.
For more information about driving in Tasmania, visit the Road Safety Advisory Council website
Don't be fooled by the size of our island. It's small, but it will still take you a while to get around. This is especially true in Tasmania's west, where the roads can be bendy. Plus we're pretty sure you'll want to check out what's down that road, or stop and chat to the locals, or do that signposted wilderness short walk... In short, allow time.
Distance and drive times are here.
Tasmania is an island at the edge of the world. It is the last stop before Antarctica. Because Tassie sits beside the Southern Ocean, the world's weather engine, the climate can vary greatly on any given day. And because Tassie's west is the first to experience the changes that sweep in on the south-westerlies from the Southern Ocean, you should expect four seasons in one day.
Wherever you travel in Tasmania's west, be prepared for sudden, temporary deterioration in the weather – especially if you're adventuring outdoors. Bring a waterproof outer layer, always carry additional warm clothing and wear layers. And remember Billy Connolly's saying: 'There's no such thing as bad weather – just bad clothing'.
Tasmania's west has a diverse range of accommodation – from wilderness lodges to cabins and caravan parks; homely bed and breakfasts to full service hotels in the major centres.
Travelling without a firm plan can be liberating. However, to avoid disappointment, we recommend booking ahead.
There are no commuter train services in Tasmania. If you don't want to hire a car, try the bus or coach services from the cities and regional centres. Coach tours are a comfortable and relaxing way to see the island. Specialised small escorted group touring is also available which can cater to particular interests.
The Western Wilds are serviced by all of Australia's major mobile networks. However, as parts are isolated and sparsely populated, mobile reception is not always guaranteed. Plan ahead to avoid disappointment and frustration.
There are over 170 free Wi-Fi hotspots around Tasmania to help visitors share their holiday experiences with friends and family. The service gives visitors access to 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi for each device, at each network location, each day. For the location of the free hotspots visit the Wi-Fi hotspots website. In the Western Wilds, there are Wi-Fi hotspots in New Norfolk, Queenstown, Strahan and Zeehan.
In addition, many accommodation providers offer free or low cost Wi-Fi to their guests.
And don't forget: share your experiences with us using #discovertasmania.
Tasmania's west is sparsely populated, which for many adds to its appeal. However, this does mean you have to plan ahead to avoid unexpected surprises. Always plan ahead with fuel. Our suggestion: as a general rule, aim to always maintain at least half a tank.
If you're self-catering, the major towns throughout the Western Wilds each have well-stocked, independent supermarkets that are open seven days. Opening hours can be seasonal, so it's worth checking. Similarly, if you're wanting to eat out, plan ahead. The best way to avoid being disappointed is to make a booking.
And aim to avoid driving between dusk and dawn. The winding roads are safer during daylight hours and the prolific local wildlife will thank you (they tend to stay off the roads during the day).
In the winter months, the central highlands and alpine areas of Tasmania's west often experience snow. The network of roads and highways that weave throughout the Western Wilds often lead you through picturesque, snow covered landscapes.
If you're keen for some snow play, it's most accessible at Cradle Mountain and the northern reaches of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, and Mount Mawson at Mount Field National Park in the south, where a ski tow operates during the season.
Need directions? Want help planning your itinerary? Look for the blue and yellow 'i' for helpful accredited Tasmanian Visitor Information Centres. Open seven days a week, services include free information on itinerary planning, maps and directions, booking services for accommodation and tours, attractions, events, retail outlets and local services. The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service also has an extensive range of visitor and field centres, with friendly and helpful local staff who know the Western Wilds better than anyone.
There are plenty of opportunities to see Tasmanian devils in one of our wildlife parks. They're not so easy to see in the wild, but you may be fortunate.
Wombats are common in the Western Wilds, and can often be seen in national parks and reserves. The buttongrass plains near Cradle Mountain in the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park are a popular hangout for wombat locals. While they might seem irresistibly cute and cuddly, wombats are still wild animals, so it's important to watch them from a distance.
If you see a Tasmanian tiger or thylacine, ask it where it's been hiding all this time!
You need a license for freshwater. You don't need a license to fish with a rod and line in saltwater.
For more details see the Inland Fisheries Commission website.
In a life threatening, serious or critical emergency, always call triple zero (000). A comprehensive list of non-emergency contacts is listed on the TasALERT website.

The Two Spiritual Goals
No matter a person's spiritual path there are only two possible goals: To spiritualize the self's life in the world or to transcend the self. The vast majority of people choose to spiritualize the self's life in the world. Even if they've had higher miracles in which they perceive that the Truth is true and that the world is not they do not feel called to transcend the self. Being aware of Truth improves their life in the world and this is enough for them.
But a few feel called to transcend the self usually because they've experienced the reality of Truth in either a direct Revelation (only Truth) or a higher miracle. They feel called to Truth because It is the Truth and nothing else will satisfy them. They are willing to be wholly free from guilt.
Even those who feel called to transcend the self will go through a stage of spiritualizing the self's life in the world. It is an inevitable stage when embarking on a spiritual path because when you start out all you know is the self. But whether one is satisfied there or feels called to go beyond only the individual can know.
A Course in Miracles is a useful tool for both those seeking a "better way" and those called to transcend the self. But your goal will determine how you read ACIM and which teachers of it, if any, resonate with you. If what you want is a spiritualized life in the world then you will probably spend your life studying ACIM and perhaps other spiritual teachings. But if you are called to transcend the self then you will understand that you are in a long process. You will recognize that the passages in ACIM that are about spiritualizing the self describe a stage through which you will pass. You will eventually reach a point where ACIM, indeed all study, falls away naturally. So it is helpful to discern which goal calls to you. Is a better life in the world because the Holy Spirit (Awareness of Truth in your mind) is with you enough for you? Or are you drawn to Truth like metal to a magnet?
Obviously, anyone I work with is spiritualizing the self's life. If they were past that point they would not need to work with a mentor. But are they satisfied there or do they feel called to go past the self? This question is always in my mind as I watch their stories unfold. It can help determine how I answer their questions and help them through their blocks. Some know the answer if I ask but unfortunately the majority will say anyway that they want to transcend the self because in their guilt they think that is "superior" to spiritualizing the self. (Of course it is not. Both are temporary and fall away in the end).
Of course one's goal can change. One may begin by thinking they want to transcend the self but find in time that they are quite satisfied with a better life in the world. And someone who thinks that they are happy spiritualizing the self may have an experience of Truth that then calls them to go beyond it.
If you are honest with yourself, putting guilt aside and what you think you "should" answer, which is your goal? If you have clarity on this, even if it turns out to be temporary, you can take a lot of pressure off yourself now. If you want to spiritualize the self you don't have to pursue ideas or study that go beyond this. You do not have to try to understand what does not call to you. And if you do feel called to drop the self you can acknowledge that, for the time being, you are in the stage of spiritualizing the self. You can enjoy it knowing that it will pass naturally. You do not have to force yourself to be beyond it now.

Dean's Update to Donors 2014-15
With your support, we will create a better tomorrow
About fifteen years ago, a group of visionaries came together to start the Indian School of Business. Many doubters said it was too ambitious an idea. Proving them wrong, ISB is today a thriving global institution, turning out successful entrepreneurs and executives while also impacting industry and government policy through path breaking research and training programmes.
This would not have been possible without the steadfast support of our benefactors whose belief in the institution and the teams that run it. We are extremely thankful to them for making ISB such a big success in so short a time. Particularly, this past year we have witnessed remarkable support from likeminded individuals and institutions that have reposed faith in the School to deliver on its vision and mission and supported it in further strengthening it to sustain the good work. Support from Dr. Thomas Schmidheiny to establish the Thomas Schmidheiny Centre for Family Enterprise, unrestricted contributions from Bajaj Auto and the Pirojsha Godrej Foundation, corporate partnerships with the National Stock Exchange to establish the NSE ISB Trading Lab, and a strong partnership with the Government of Telangana in the area of entrepreneurship, all in a span of just one year-will help us create significant impact in a number of unique ways on the society around us.
A detailed description of how support to ISB from individuals, corporations, government and foundations has been instrumental to create positive changes in several areas is attached with this communication.
It is this commitment to catalytic philanthropy by our supporters that has enabled ISB to rise above the ordinary and remain a testimony of their commitment to institution building. While we reflect upon the impact of the support we have received last year, we remain focused on all that still needs to be done. While the School has achieved in the short period of its existence, there is still a lot more to be done as an institution.
While ISB continues to provide a great world class learning experience to its students in both Hyderabad and Mohali, it is adding new competencies and initiatives at both the campuses. While the four institutes, working out of Mohali, are shaping up to fulfill their mandates by launching new programmes and impact initiatives, there is a resurgence in the Entrepreneurship space with a whole new ecosystem coming up at ISB. For instance while the Big Leap Club has already engaged with 100 SMEs and is further expanding its impact, the Technology Entrepreneurship Program (TEP) is well on course to nurturing scores of potential young entrepreneurs in the country within the next few years. Likewise, the research being done by the world class faculty at ISB continues to make waves improving the Schools global research rankings. ISB is committed to faculty development across b-schools and colleges in India. We are planning Teacher training programmes which has an ambitious goal of training 1000 faculty of other Schools in the country over the next five years.
However all this is not possible without the active support of our benefactors. We urge you to explore partnership opportunities with the School to do things today that will define the future for the world around us.
Please feel free to reach out to us or one of the team members for discussions on further possibilities on this.

There is a Difference!Posted: March 5, 2013 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Dallas Heritage Village, Flowers, Gainesville Texas, God's Blessings, homes, nature, Sanger Texas, Sights Around Texas, Texas, The Lone Star State, trees 1 Comment
There is a difference in being optimistic and knowing who you are in Christ Jesus! I have been optimistic nearly all of my life, but there was a time when I was also a worrier! Yes, I have always looked at the glass 1/2 full rather than 1/2 empty and never have liked pessimistic behavior around me. You can be optimistic and have faith, but still not believe that your every need is met and that no matter what goes on in the world around you, you can have a peace that truly passes all understanding and be happy! This is the difference in Optimism and having a personal relationship with God and knowing who you are in Christ Jesus and who Christ Jesus is in you!
Some may think you are not dealing with reality when truthfully that is exactly what your are dealing with and how you are living your life! You see when we make Jesus our Lord and Savior then we KNOW who our source is, who our provider is, that He never will leave us nor forsake us, that He meets our every need ~ even before we know what it is and that we have an eternal home with Him! Eternal Home! That is forever and ever and ever!
To know who you are in Christ Jesus and who He is in you, you have to read, study, feed upon and absorb His book ~ The Bible! It is all there in black and white and red! It's simple and oh, so rewarding! Find a good church with a shepherd who not only teaches his flock, but also feeds them meat!
Once I was optimistic! Now I know who I am in Christ Jesus and who He is in me! I walk in that wonderful peace of God's that passes all understanding. I have no fear or worry of what lies ahead according to the 'world' because I may be in this world, but I am not of this world! I know who my Source is and I know that my Daddy is always there to take care of and protect me! You see…I am my Daddy's Girl and proud of it!
Have an abundantly blessed day!
Love and Blessings,
Just want to share some of the awesomeness of God I see all around me!

Heading towards the Trudeau government's first budget, former Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page thinks it's possible new Finance Minister Bill Morneau could have a few accounting tricks up his sleeve.
Noting there are "some holes" in a recently released deficit projection, namely "forecast adjustments of $40 billion that are not explained," Page wondered if the government fudging the numbers to give the Liberals "some room so they can come in a little better than expected"?
Is that possible?
One thing's for certain – it wouldn't be the first time a Canadian finance minister led Canadians through a house of mirrors when it comes to the real state of the country's finances.
Here's a few tricks from recent history:
1. Under-promise, over-deliver
One of former Finance Minister (and later Prime Minister) Paul Martin's signature tricks was to set expectations low so he could later exceed them.
Labeling it his "most dubious legacy as Finance Minister," economist Jim Stanford says the Martin years were marked by a familiar "pattern" of underestimating revenues and overestimating expenses while going out of his way to "paint a deliberately bleak picture of Ottawa's finances."
Why would Martin do that? Stanford says it was to create the "phony" impression of "fiscal overperformance."
On the downside, Stanford says "after nine straight years" of this, it "created a situation in which nobody believes the numbers that the Finance Minister of the day tables in his or her official budget," turning the budget into a "singularly political document, with the primary goal of managing (or manipulating) public expectations."
2. Joe Oliver's vanishing deficit act
Former Finance Minister Joe Oliver may have borrowed a page from Martin's book of magic when he made the deficit disappear last year.
Although Canada started off 2015 looking like it was going in the red again, Oliver made the deficit vanish into thin air by raiding $1.8 billion from the federal government's Employment Insurance fund, another $2 billion from the government's emergency contingency fund and selling off the government's shares in General Motors (at a $3.5 billion net-loss).
All of a sudden, the government had a magical $1.4 billion surplus and the deficit had disappeared!
...That is until the slumping economy caused a $1 billion deficit to reappear a few months later, thanks to the slumping economy.
3. Turning old money into new money
Why take credit for a government initiative once when you can announce it again and take credit a second time?
That's a trick the Conservatives pulled in their final pre-election budget last year, announcing billions for "new" infrastructure projects, even though they had actually announced funding years earlier.
For example, Industry Minister James Moore told CTV last year:
"This budget will reaffirm our commitment to infrastructure spending … on a very large scale in every part of the country to the benefit of productivity, to the benefit of infrastructure and to the benefit of the quality of life of everyday Canadians."
But in reality, the money Moore was talking about had actually been announced two years earlier in the government's 2013 budget.
As L. Ian MacDonald observed:
"It's not new money — not a thin dime of it. It's re-announced money, allocated for the current year. The only thing 'new' about it will be the press releases."
Presto change-o!
4. Public spending sleights of hand
Here's another thing to keep your eye on.
Sometimes Finance Ministers say they're spending money on one thing, but actually spend it on something that maybe wasn't quite what you had in mind.
The Harper government's 2015 Budget talked a good game about "investing in infrastructure," including $150 million for something called the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program to invest in "projects that celebrate our shared heritage."
Former Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced $25,500 to fix the "perimeter tile drainage" and do "renovations to the locker room area" at a Nova Scotia curling club, for example.
Conservative MP Bob Zimmer announced $214,600 to upgrade a hockey arena, "including rehabilitation of rink boards" and "repurposing dressing rooms."
And former Conservative MP Joyce Bateman announced $150,000 to "renovate the kitchen at the Pembina Curling Club." That was on top of $50,150 to "support improved lighting, wall restorations, and the installation of a new carpet" in the "lounge facilities" of the same curling club two years earlier in 2013.

Give Up Your Pets or Your Home? In Loving Memory Of John Chadwick

In Loving Memory of John Chadwick
"Faced with giving up your pets to have a home OR remain homeless?" It's NO Choice At All....
UPDATE: New Pet Policy July 2018, as a result of my Huns tragedy & Campaign. Kent Online News link below gives further details
Facebook link below for BBC South East Broadcast, a Positive Pet Policy in Housing
My very best friend, my hun John Chadwick, became unintentionally homeless. Unable to take his pets to temporary accommodation, and later, to permanent accommodation offered by the Council, he died by suicide on 16th March 2017. This was ten days after being separated from his "furbabies", who enabled his well-being.
The introduction of service dogs have proven invaluable for those with specific health needs. Pets are also known to provide Therapeutic benefits, giving the sense of purpose to carry on.
Pets further assist with the treatment of health, depression, isolation and addiction and are invaluable companions for those who are street homeless.
The link below dedicated to my hun, provides an insight of the homeless and their unconditional bonding with their "furbabies", written by Daniel McDonald from Tampa, Florida.
The inspiring and moving homeless research, written by Miss Amy Felicity Varle, is now with 10 Downing Street. There is a dedication P91, to my hun and those who have lost lives.
So lets stand together to prevent further deaths, such as my huns and those who have sadly lost their lives on the streets. Petition for change to current housing requirements, particularly for those deemed as vulnerable, alone or homeless. Enable provision of housing with pets.
A positive Pet Policy approach within housing, would further reduce the impact on public services by those seeking treatment, by enabling physical and emotional well-being. Introduction of person-centered housing based on individual need as no one box fits all.
Furthermore, by adopting such an approach, Animal Rescue Shelters would benefit, seeing a reduction in pets needing to be rehomed. Currently there is a lack of suitable accommodation and tenancies available accepting pets, within Social Housing and the Private Sector.
I realise there is no miracle around the corner, but if my huns story can save a life and become part of a much needed change, then will continue keeping his memory alive.
My huns life had meaning, his "furbabies" were his everything, they deserved so much more....
Please also remember you are never alone, its OK to say you are not OK. Check in on your friends, neighbours & family members.

Much Love to you all, Dee xxx

Japan's industrial production declined for the first time in five months and consumer spending also fell, underscoring the challenge the country faces in the recovery of its economy.
In June, industrial production declined 3.3% from the previous month, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The decline compares to a revised 1.9% gain in May and analysts' expectations for a decline by 1.8%.
A survey of manufacturers conducted by the ministry in May hinted a 2.4% decline in output in June.
The fall in factory output was primarily attributed to a decline in production of transport equipment, including autos, followed by eletronics and machinery.
For July, the manufacturers expect a rapid gain of 6.5%, up from 3.3% projected in last month's survey, backed by exports and private consumption. The ministry also said that output would decline 0.9% in August.
While the monthly decline in factory output indicates challenging conditions in the economy, analysts were of the view that the fall is a temporary phenomenon and predicted that production would jump in the coming months.
Furthermore, separate official data showed that Japan's unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in June, the lowest point in more than four years.
Household Spending
Japan's household spending fell 0.4% from a year earlier, while analysts had expected growth of 1.0%.
The country has been trying to boost domestic consumption in an attempt to revive its stagnant economy. The government led by Shinzo Abe and the Bank of Japan has unveiled a series of aggressive measures to boost domestic demand, which has suffered from years of deflation or falling prices.
In a deflationary situation, consumers tend to postpone big purchases in the hope of a better deal. Therefore, ending the deflationary cycle is seen to be the key to reviving the world's third-largest economy.
Earlier this year, the central bank doubled its inflation target to 2% in an attempt to boost consumer prices and spending. The bank targets to reach the goal within a two-year period.
On Monday, the BoJ governor Haruhiko Kuroda confirmed that the country's planned increase in sales tax rate would not dent its economic recovery.
In the first step, Japan plans to raise sales tax rates to 8% from the current 5% in April 2014 in order to stabilize long-term yields of government bonds and repair public finances. Subsequently, the rate will be raised to 10% in 2015.
However, Abe is seriously rethinking the plan due to concerns that the move will rattle financial markets and affect investor confidence.

Nickname for a Blogger. How to Create an Original Name.
Becoming a successful blogger has become a goal for many people today. The thing is that blogging is an effective tool for earning money as well as marketing one's products. Most companies have a blog where they share latest news about their products and services. This is a good indicator of how blogging has become a big part of our lives today, including the area of business. There are also many who use blogs for personal purposes, such as sharing their own thoughts and feelings with online communities in order to get some feedback and exchange messages with other people. But for all blogs there is one thing that has a great significance – blog identity. And this identity starts with a good nickname. It may well be that corporate blogs don't need such a thing as a nickname (although we believe the opposite is actually true) but no one will argue that personal blogs do require an attractive nickname to be successful.
How to Choose a Nickname?
There are some who underestimate the importance of a good nickname. But the truth of the matter is that most people evaluate a blog by the appearance as well as the name of the author – something they usually see prior to reading any blog entries. Therefore, it is important that you create a nickname that will reveal your identity and be an attention grabber for readers. The question is where do people get good blogger names? How good nicknames are created? Well, here are some thoughts that may help you answer these questions.
First of all, you need to concentrate on those nicknames that would be relevant for the content of your blog. It wouldn't make any sense if you had a nickname like "Diesel" for a medical type of a blog. The name you choose must be relevant and catchy. It is easier if you already have been blogging for some time – all you need is to look at your content and see what things you are writing about. If you never had your first blog entry posted yet, then you may want to think everything through before you create a nickname.
Secondly, good blogger names are not only niche narrow but they also say something about the owner of the blog. It should be consistent with either who you are in real life or with the image you want to create with your blog. It will help you become more popular because people love when they see bloggers reveal their identities (they don't necessarily have to know that this identity is only virtual). That is the advantage of a blog – you can be whomever you wish. There are no limits here; the only limit is your own imagination.
Thirdly, take time to search some of the good nicknames online. You don't have to use those you like but some of them may lead you to great ideas. If you found a great pseudonym for example, you can slightly change it or shorten it. You can also check some of the nickname generators available online – they can also bring you some decent ideas. While doing these things you should have a pencil and a piece of paper so that you can note down worthy options. Besides, seeing the name visually will also help you evaluate how good it looks.
Lastly, try out the nickname you think would be best for you by sharing it with your friends and people that you know. See what they have to say about it. It is always good to have some fresh look at it because it is likely that you won't be able to objectively evaluate your own pseudonym after spending several hours on creating it.

The heavy-lift vessel VB 10,000 arrived Tuesday at the Golden Ray wreck site in Georgia's St. Simons Sound, where the specialized vessel will be used by salvage crews to cut and lift sections of the overturned car carrier. The Korean-owned Golden Ray, which capsized after leaving the Port of Brunswick in September 2019, will be dismantled in place and removed in sections. Salvors have installed 16 lifting lugs on the wreck to provide connection points for the U.S.-flagged VB 10,000, which has two 255-foot tall gantries that will use lengths of chain to cut the RoRo vessel into eight pieces and lift them onto barges for transportation to Gibson, La. for recycling.

Israel, Lebanon Hold Second Round of Sea Border Talks
Israel and Lebanon on Wednesday held a second round of U.S.-mediated talks over their disputed sea border that has held up hydrocarbon exploration in the potentially gas-rich area, though sources said gaps between the sides remain large.Delegations from the long-time foes reconvened at a U.N. peacekeeper base to try to reach agreement over their maritime border after an initial meeting earlier this month.The sides presented contrasting maps on Wednesday outlining proposed borders that actually increased the size of the disputed area, sources said.
