Since the establishment of Shute Harbour in the 1960's the tourism traffic through the facility to the Whitsunday Islands flourished. The Shute Harbour facilities have undergone several changes to the building and facilities with major changes occurring in the early 1970's (car parking and South Molle Jetty), in the middle of the eighties (additional Terminal facility Lloyd Roberts) and early 1990/2000's (SHIFT demolition and reconstruction of terminal facility at Lloyd Roberts Jetty and the addition of the floating pontoons). The floating pontoons in place until Cyclone Debbie in March 2017, were added to both concrete jetties between 1999 and 2000.
The ferry traffic to the island was operated by various contractors over the years more recently the operators were Fantasea and Cruise Whitsunday. In September 2014, Cruise Whitsunday vacated the terminal facility and moved almost all ferry traffic to the new terminal at Port of Airlie.

Table For One
This is Bosch Fawstin's attempt at emulating Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.
Table for OnePublisher: Mainspring Comics
Length: 88
Writer: Bosch Fawstin
Price: $9.95
Item Type: Comic
Publication Date: 2004-02
My work done my way. A private, personal, selfish, egotistical motivation. That's the only way I function. That's all I am.
� Howard Roark, Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead
Reading The Fountainhead can have a deep impact on your way of thinking and general approach to life. If you're unfamiliar with the novel, it was written in 1943 by Objectivist Ayn Rand, about a young architect named Howard Roark who refuses to conform to societal expectations. Instead, he follows Shakespeare's advice of "to thine ownself be true" to a "T" and is a true idealist. He works for everything he has, tries to appease no one but himself.
Table For One is Bosch Fawstin's attempt at emulating The Fountainhead. Fawstin's self-published title is about a too-cute young writer named Will Howland who's temporarily waiting tables at his crooked and insanely over-weight uncle's Italian restaurant in downtown New York. He's won a bet with Uncle Ritchie that he couldn't last a year, and is expecting the $5,000 pay-out, which he plans on using to publish his book. The entire story takes place in the Sotto Terra Ristorante, and among a variety of mostly shallow, contemptible characters (minus a few redeemable types), Will shines through as the idealist, the individualist who exudes confidence because he knows who he is, what he wants and how to get it.
About halfway through his last day at the restaurant, and more than halfway through the story, a mysterious former love interest named Venna arrives out of nowhere, and just in time to save Will's life. Venna and Will have a heated tête-à-tête about their split. She wants him back, claiming she is no longer the same person. As she puts it, "I'm not that girl who played it dangerously safe in life and in art. Most of the 'beliefs' I've held have turned out to be convenient illusions. I've learned to see things as they are. I see you as you are".
This is just before Ritchie, who has apparently been hitting the bottle too hard, goes crazy at a staff meeting threatening everyone left and right about their jobs, which, as he describes it, require abandoning any idea of self and their souls. For Will, of course, this is the last straw, and he says he's had enough and demands the money that he's not only won fair and square, but has actually earned. It all boils down to a physical confrontation, and just as it seems Ritchie is going to literally choke the life from Will, Venna shows up holding the gun Ritchie had conveniently placed on his desk minutes before. Ritchie overpowers her, causing Will to go ballistic and beat the hell out of his uncle. He grabs the money from his uncle's pocket, and takes exactly what he's owed and not a penny more. He and Venna walk off into the starry night, hand in hand, and seal their rejuvenated relationship with a kiss. The End.
You know how after going to the theater to check out a really hyped-up flick, and after sitting through it, your only reaction is "So what?" That's how I felt after reading Table For One. Yeah, the hero's great, but nothing happens to him except a fist fight with his crazy uncle to get his money. There was no challenge, no external or internal struggle of consequence -- the hero Will Howland is perfect from beginning to end. If the story's about the individual's struggle to remain true to himself even when "�in a crowded room, there's not a soul in sight", shouldn't the individual undergo some kind of test?
It would have been better if there had been some sort of substantial challenge for Will. Will needs to be faced with a major decision. Will he conform or stand by his convictions? Something should happen, there should be conflict, a test for the protagonist. If there was, there would be a reason for readers to be interested, to invest their time in this story. With Table For One, this reason does not exist.
As for the artwork, it's not the best, but I will say that the sequential movement is rather smooth. And though black and white may sound like boring, static colors to some, avid comic readers know what kind of amazing varieties can be wrought from the two under the hand of a deft artist. Table For One offered little variety in that respect. Everything was either black, white or grey, which gave the artwork a flat appearance. To make matters worse, there are way too many pages where the panels have no kind of real background, as if the story's taking place in some void. The panel layout isn't so original either, though there are a few successful attempts at breaking convention.
Overall, Table For One is an ambitious body of work that could have been great had the story been better developed and more risks had been taken with the artwork. I admire Fawstin's go-getter attitude with self-publishing this title, and it's quite obvious that he's a practitioner of Rand's philosophy. I just hope that his next graphic novel has a tighter and more realistic story, with a protagonist that isn't so perfect. Even Howard Roark had his moments of weakness.

Qatar pares support for Islamists but careful to preserve ties
Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz (right) meeting the Emir of Qatar, Shaikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Jeddah recently. Though Qatar has backed US-led campaign against Daesh, Gulf states are concerned about its ambiguous stance on Islamists
Doha: Qatar has joined the American-led coalition to fight Daesh, yet the emirate is a haven for anti-Western groups and foreign diplomats have reported seeing cars with Daesh logos in an affluent bay district.
Such ambiguity runs through Qatari policy.
When the United States sought allies against Daesh in September, Qatar was among the Gulf Arab states that sent its warplanes into action. But while Saudi Arabia and the UAE welcomed media coverage, Qatar was silent.

Today I begin a series of posts looking at Harvey Cox's new book The Future of Faith. We'll see how long it goes – at least a couple of weeks. Cox is the Hollis Professor of Divinity emeritus at Harvard and is best known for his 1965 book The Secular City. I first became familiar with Cox and his work through his book When Jesus Came to Harvard: Making Moral Choices Today, a very thoughtful and thought provoking book. The new book explores the trends that Cox sees in the history of the church and his thoughts on the future of faith, including Christian faith.
In the first chapter of his book Cox describes a history of the church divided into three ages, the age of faith, the age of belief, and the age of the spirit (we will look at these in greater detail below). He then talks about his personal faith journey from a rather fundamentalist Baptist to the current day. He talks about his experiences at Penn as an undergraduate where his belief – but not his faith – was shaken. To understand this statement it is important to understand what Cox means by faith as he now uses the term.
As Cox describes it faith is the experience of the divine – not a set of theories about the divine, and Christianity is best understood as a way of life, not as a creed or set of proper beliefs. He notes that the confusion began to clear in his mind when an acquaintance described himself as "a practicing Christian, but not always a believing one"; when a bishop of the Catholic church welcomed an audience saying "The line between belief and unbelief … runs through the middle of each one of us, including myself, a bishop of the church"; and as he pondered the doubts experienced by Mother Teresa. (p. 16-17)
Does Cox's idea that faith is experience and way of life hit a resonance? Is it possible to be a practicing Christian, but not always a believing one?
Now a little more detail. In his book Cox divides church history into the following three eras:
The Age of Faith –
comprising the first three centuries. In this age Cox suggests that the church was more concerned with following Jesus than with enforcing what to believe about Jesus. This is a summary that strikes me as rather broad brush as I do think that there was also concern about what to believe.
The Age of Belief
– the next 1500 or more years of the church. A time when power and creed and hierarchy became the rule. Faith about Jesus becomes more important than faith in Jesus. Cox notes:
The year 385 CE marked a particularly grim turning point. A synod of bishops condemned a man named Priscillan of Avila, and by the order of the emperor Maximus he and six of his followers were beheaded in Treves…. He was the first Christian to be executed by fellow Christians for his religious views. (6-7)
The church, in a fashion, moved from persecuted to persecutor. But Cox doesn't do full justice to the history. This isn't an abrupt change, and it is a change that began while the church was persecuted. With the power of state it became possible. It would also be a mistake to think that the church was united in favor of the execution – it was not, although Cox fails to mention this in his summary. (See Priscillian on wikipedia – if someone has a better link – let me know)
The Age the Spirit
– A trend where Christians now are defining faith by action rather than creed, where spirituality is more important than dogma. What is spirituality as Cox uses the term?
It reflects a widespread discontent with the preshrinking of religion, Christianity in particular, into a package of theological propositions by religious corporations that box and distribute such packages. (13)
…it represents an attempt to voice awe and wonder before the intricacy of nature that many feel is essential to human life without stuffing them into ready-to-wear ecclesiastical patterns. (13-14)
…it recognizes the increasingly porous boundaries between different traditions and, like the early Christian movement, it looks more to the future than to the past. (14)
A change is underway and the church will never be the same. Cox sees this as the next big change in Christianity, an irreversible and unavoidable process … the age of the Spirit, the decline of hierarchy, the distancing from creedal belief, the importance of practice, the significance of faith as a way of life.
I must admit I find Cox's summary a little too much of a broad brush. While the trends ring true it seems to me that there is a thread in the faith throughout the centuries that is true to following Christ as a way of life and founded in central beliefs about Christ. The essence of the creeds did not spring from thin air in the third century, nor did the practice of faith disappear for 15 centuries.
What do you think? Does this outline of church history make sense? Could we be entering an age of faith – but not belief, an age of the spirit?

Park a sea of colour as stall opens
MORGAN Park will be glistening with flecks of bright green and royal blue from tomorrow as the Barastoc Polocrosse Nationals merchandise stall opens its doors.
All merchandise was bought from local businesses, and Warwick Polocrosse Club treasurer Robyn Fraser said she wouldn't have it any other way.
"We've been established for 59 years and we're here for the long haul, so we go local as much as we can," Mrs Fraser said.
"To get the support of the town we need to support their businesses."
Hats, shirts and vests were supplied by Warwick Screen Printers and Embroiders and range from $8 for stubby coolers.
Caps are $19, shirts are $45 and vests are $69.
"The ladies at Warwick Screen Printers and Embroiders are working until midnight to finish the embroidery," Mrs Fraser said.
The logo for the merchandise was designed by Therese Donovan.
The merchandise shop is open from 9am-3pm tomorrow until Sunday, and 9am-5pm next week.
But it's not just the merchandise that has been sourced locally.
All meat is from Carey Bros, fruit and vegetables from Percy's Fruit and Veg, canteen supplies from Southwest Wholesales, pies, bread and savouries from Steele's Bakery, alcohol from the Horse and Jockey Motel, horse feed from Olsen's Produce, milk, juice and water from Ken and Louise Perk at Norco, chicken from Red Rooster, eggs from Williams Egg Farm and cigarettes from Mayfair Casket Agencies. If you'd like to get your hands on some swanky merchandise, head down to Morgan Park and lose yourself in the thunder of hooves and the cracking of sticks.

Springbank 1900 goes on offer at £6k
Springbank 1900 goes on offer at 6k
Distilled well over a century ago, this long-lived dram will head a rich and varied whisky sale
Mc Tears are presenting an impressive variety of rare and collectible whiskies this WednesdayFebruary 3, starting from 10.30am.
The most intriguing lot, number 5, is a half-bottle sized sample of a Springbank which started its distillation in 1900. The sample was taken in 1927, and sealed with wax in a type of bottle not usually seen on sale.
Sample of Springbank 1900
In our interview with him last month, Bonhams' Head of Whisky, Martin Green noted older Springbanks as ones which will be increasingly difficult to get hold of as time goes by, so this is a particularly exciting opportunity at 4,000-6,000.
The sale offers a good selection of Ardbergs, Bowmore, Dalmore, Highland Park and Macallan single malts, alongside a few high quality Irish whiskies such as Dunville's Three Crowns circa 1930s and some Bushmills.
Of the Macallans, the prize lot is probably a bottle of 1938 Macallan in a wooden presentation case. The flavour of that year's distillation is particularly highly regarded with a distinct almond biscuit quality to it.
There will also be a 1964 Bowmore with a price of between 3200 and 4000.
The whiskies are already on show in Glasgow, where the auction takes place.

We welcomed Dr. Doug Plata to the program to discuss taking action on one's space advocacy ideas and plans. For examples of this, visit Dr. Plata's www.lunarcots.com for more information on his Lunar Cots idea and to sign his Lunar Cots petition which he talked about throughout our two hour program. Dr. Plata said he was not around in the Apollo era plus he only started getting interested in space about 3 years ago. I commented that he did not bring to the table disappointment and unrealized, perhaps even foolish expectations that many of us who were around during Apollo have experienced, including an expectation of lunar colonies and trips to Mars by now. Doug had a clean slate to build upon, no legacy issues or unrealized expectations or anything like that. Doug said his interests are to go BLEO but how? Based on his analysis, he decided lunar development was first, researched Cislunar development, and developed his Lunar Cots idea based on successes for NASA public/private partnerships such as COTS. From there, he developed the idea of the Lunar Cots Petition for people to sign and to eventually give NASA and other key policy makers. He also mentioned that were he to advocate something, he felt it was his responsibility to technically know about the issues so he could accurately represent them to people. He also said that one person, even with very small steps, could make a difference and he clearly walks that talk. Part of his Lunar Cots idea addresses the need for a Cislunar Transportation System. The first John called (from Atlanta) and raised the question about there being sufficient water ice on the Moon. In his response, Doug referenced the LCROSS mission. In our second segment, Doug took calls and listener emails. The discussion about there being sufficient lunar water ice on the Moon continued. He also talked about automatic equipment for lunar mining as compared to telerobotics. Doug was asked who he talks with about Lunar Cots and the petition. We heard everyone, from the general public to space enthusiasts. In talking about space advocacy in general, he said there were many paths and people had to find a path that made sense to them & then figure out a way to act upon their individual advocacy. John called from Florida and asked about heavy lift and fuel depots. Another Jon called from New Jersey to ask about doing something, anything, and the use of prizes. Even Charles Pooley got in on the discussion to talk about starting small and his Microlaunchers concept. Toward the end, Doug was asked by a medical school student why he was not doing aerospace and human factors space medicine. Also during this segment, both Doug and I talked extensively about finding something to do regarding one's advocacy, even if it involved stepping out of one's comfort zone and seemed to be too small an effort. The reality is that to make a difference, even a small effort can be and is usually beneficial. Please post your comments/questions on the Space Show blog. You can email Doug through the address he provided on air or through me.

Oh and one of the best parts about the dress it was only $50! I really didn't want to spend much on a dress that would pretty much only be worn once so the idea of a $2000 dress was a little crazy to me. Not that I didn't try on a couple like that and fall in love with them, but I just couldn't justify spending that type of money on anything really, much less a dress. Lex told me after we got back home that before we walked in she asked my mom to help us out, and I think she most certainly did.
We brought it back to Lex's mother's (Suzie) house and she went to town. Suzie is just an absolutely amazing seamstress and was kind enough to work on the dress for me.

2016 US budget allocated $ 2.5 billion for the financing of advanced manufacturing technologies
For 2016 budget, Obama administration requested almost $ 2.5 billion for the development and implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies, including Advanced Composites and Structures Materials Manufacturing Institute.
This year, the US government has significantly increased funding for the federal program focused on developing and commercializing advanced manufacturing technologies in the industrial sector, which is called the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation or NNMI.
The program has been proposed with the aim to revitalize the US domestic manufacturing declined by a third over the past 10 years due to outsourcing to other countries. At the same time, an emphasis was placed on developing regional manufacturing hubs or Manufacturing Innovation Institutes and bringing them into the Network.
The funds are allocated as follows:
$350M in added discretionary funds to support the creation of seven new NNMI institutes;
$1.93B in a one-time appropriation to last until 2024 to establish 29 new NNMI institutes, building on the nine institutes already funded through 2015 as well as the seven new manufacturing institutes requested to be funded in 2016.
In addition, this is the first time NNMI has received direct funding from the federal budget in the amount of 25 M to be obtained through National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
According to
As sustainable manufacturing innovation hubs, the institutes will:
- Develop advanced manufacturing technologies that will "lift all ships," creating, showcasing and deploying new capabilities that can increase commercial productivity.
- Help businesses who otherwise couldn't invest in advanced manufacturing research by bringing together the best talents and capabilities from the public and private sector into a proving ground for cutting-edge technology.
- Build a pipeline of talent that can support advanced manufacturing.
According to the NNMI official statement of purpose, "In a fiercely competitive global marketplace, innovation is no longer enough. Many nations are increasingly driving innovation to implementation through whole-of-government advanced manufacturing initiatives. Thus, the federally backed National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) is intended to create a competitive, effective, and sustainable manufacturing research-to-manufacturing infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems."
Companies: Manufacturing Innovation Institutes
Industries: Finance & Investment
Terms: Composite materials

The Decemberists just released the new music video for their single "Once In My Life" directed by Anonymous Content's Autumn de Wilde, and edited by Miky Wolf, with VFX and Finishing by our Significant Others.
The story of the music video follows director de Wilde's brother Jacob, who is 7'2″ and lives with physical and intellectual differences, on a defiant dance through his home of Los Angeles.
Below is an excerpt of The Decemberists' Colin Meloy statement released alongside the music video:
"The song, in this light, becomes more than just a "celebration of sadness," (which I have sometimes called it) but suddenly a longing holler to the universe against one's perceived otherness."
And here is a portion of Autumn's statement about the video, and the collaboration with her brother Jacob:
"My brother is in his 40's and his long journey to achieve the comfort and understanding in how he moves, communicates and connects to others is inspiring to me. Self-love and acceptance are the real superpowers waiting for all of us."
Watch the full video below:
And you can read both of their complete statements at The Decemberists' website here.

What is retinal vein occlusion?
The retina is a thin tissue at the back of the eye, which works a bit like a film in a camera. The blood flow to the retina involves 'arteries' which bring blood from the heart and 'veins' which drain blood away to the heart. The word 'macula' refers to center of the retina. Being central, macula provides detailed sharp vision, especially near vision such as needed for reading, knitting etc.
Retinal vein occlusion occurs when one of these veins is blocked by a blood clot that prevents the blood draining from the retina. This causes blood and fluid to leak into the retinal tissue. The fluid leakage predominantly affects the macula.
Why does retinal vein occlusion occur?
The exact cause for this is not known. It is thought that the pressure from the retinal artery crossing over the vein may cause the clot to form. The common risk factors for developing retinal vein occlusion are high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking and glaucoma. Less commonly, patients suffering from rare conditions affecting the blood (Myeloma) or inflammation of the blood vessels at the back of the eye (Behcet's disease, Sarcoidosis etc) can develop RVO.
What are the types?
Depending upon where the blockage is, retinal vein occlusion is divided into two types.
1. Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO) - the blockage occurs in the main retinal vein causing damage to the entire retina (Figure: 1)
2. Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO) – the blockage occurs in one of the branches of the main vein causing damage to the part of the retina in the area drained by that vein (Figure: 2)
Why is sight affected?
There are two reasons for this
1. Swelling of the macula (Macular Oedema): This is the most common cause. It means waterlogging of the macula caused by leakage of fluid. Since the macula is responsible for detailed sharp vision, macular oedema causes blurred vision.
2. New blood vessels growth (Neovascularisation): Occasionally fragile and leaky blood vessels can grow as a consequence of the vein occlusion. These abnormal blood vessels may bleed inside the eye, causing what is called a vitreous haemorrhage, or put the pressure up in the eye causing a condition called rubeotic glaucoma.
What tests are required?
Specific blood tests and blood pressure checks are carried out. In addition to this, specialized photographs of the retina are taken to help decide what treatment, if any, is needed.
1. Fundus fluorescein angiography – in this test a dye is injected in the arm and photographs are taken of the dye as it passes through the blood vessels at the back of your eye. The figure 3 shows delayed appearance of the dye in bottom half due to BRVO.
2. OCT retinal scan – It is a simple test which uses a light beam to build up a detailed picture of the retina. In retinal vein occlusion there is macular oedema as seen in figure 4.
What are the treatment options for macular oedema?
There is no treatment to unblock the vein. But treatment is aimed at resolving macular oedema to improve vision. The treatment options include
1. Observation: In a small proportion of patients, macular oedema can resolve spontaneously.
2. Laser treatment to macula: This involves applying laser burns to the macular region. Laser treatment only works in some cases of BRVO but not in CRVO. It is carried out as an outpatient procedure.
3. Injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs: The anti-VEGF drugs work on leaky blood vessels to help reduce fluid in the macula. Lucentis, Eylea and Avastin are the drugs available in this category. Injections are given in an outpatient setting under local anaesthesia. One injection is given every month for the first three months. Thereafter monthly assessments continue during which further injections may be needed.
4. Injection of Ozurdex: Ozurdex is a very small steroid implant, which is injected in the eye under local anaesthesia. The effect of treatment lasts 3-4 months and it can be repeated thereafter.
Which treatment is most effective?
In research trials, anti-VEGF injections have shown to be the most effective in improving sight, followed by Ozurdex implant and then laser. A combination of treatments may be more effective and Mr Patwardhan will discuss this with you at the time of initial consultation if applicable.
In BRVO the success rate of improving sight is approximately 60% while in CRVO the success rate is approximately 45%.
What is the treatment for new blood vessels growth (Neovascularisation)?
If new vessels (neovascularization) have developed, the treatment is aimed at limiting damage but does not improve vision. This is achieved by extensive laser treatment to the peripheral retina to prevent or treat vitreous haemorrhage or rubeotic glaucoma.
What are the risks of treatment?
Generally speaking benefits far outweigh the risks. The injection carries a small risk (0.3%) of sight threatening infection in the eye (endophthalmitis). With Ozurdex treatment the main risks are development of glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) and cataract (cloudy lens) in approximately 25% cases. With anti-VEGF injections there is a small risk (1-2%) of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke.
How long is the treatment required?
The treatment is carried on for up to 2 years. After that further treatment will only continue if it is deemed beneficial.
Why does the treatment not work in everyone?
The most common reason is structural damage to the retina caused by the vein occlusion itself. Sometimes the treatment does not improve the macular swelling and sometimes the vision gets worse because of a worsening of the vein occlusion.

Timepage Membership
Do I have to pay again if I purchased Timepage prior to the change to membership?
No - if you already paid for Timepage prior to December 14th 2017, you are eligible for a complimentary membership. It's a token of our appreciation for you being an early customer. You can claim your complimentary membership simply by creating an account in Timepage.
Why is it telling me to become a member when I've already purchased Timepage?
- It doesn't matter which email you use to sign in to Timepage itself, but please ensure you are signed into the App Store with the same Apple ID that you used to originally purchase Timepage, otherwise we will be unable to validate your purchase.
- If you are connecting from behind a firewall or via special networks (e.g. China) then you may need to try an alternative connection. We've found the following VPNs to work particularly well:
a) ShadoWingy
b) Angel VPN (not available on the China App Store).
- To refresh your App Store receipt and attempt to fix the issue, please try opening this link on your iPhone/iPad: timepage://diagnosticReport It may help to completely restart the app after this by swiping up on it from the app switcher and starting it up again.
- If you've tried signing up to claim your membership and checked the above steps but it still doesn't work, please send us an email directly from the Help/Support screen inside Timepage and we'll be able to active your membership manually.
Will I be charged automatically for complimentary membership?
No, you will never be charged automatically in the future for complimentary membership.
How long does my complimentary membership last?
There is not currently an end date for complimentary memberships and we have no plans on changing that. We are not able to promise they will be available indefinitely because that is simply not practical, but if there any changes they will come with plenty of notice.
What does time-limited offer mean?
This refers to the fact that the complimentary offer is only available to customers who previously purchased Timepage, prior to December 14, 2017. Our system will recognise your previous purchase, but the longer it goes unclaimed the more open it is to issues - we therefore want to make sure everyone eligible gets their complimentary membership claimed in a timely manner. We will provide ample notice if and when we need to close the complimentary membership claim process, so no need to worry!
Should I register with the same email as my Apple ID?
This is up to you, it isn't required to use the same email.
Why did Timepage change to a membership?
We are committed to creating a useful, delightful and stable product. To uphold this commitment, the best way forward is for our team to have an ongoing relationship with you. It helps us plan for the long term and provide new features you want, reliability with new hardware, quality assurance, maintenance and more. It also allows us to provide ongoing services like accurate weather data which is costly to obtain. Most of our customers use Timepage many times a day and considering this, we think our pricing is modest. Your calendar data is not locked into Timepage and remains available via your cloud provider regardless of whether you have an active Timepage membership or not.
With a single membership, you can now access Timepage on iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad as a single universal app. Our previous iPad app is now replaced with the universal app. You no longer have to purchase multiple apps for access on each device.
We are now able to offer a free trial with no feature restrictions. After the trial period ends, Timepage will become read-only but all your data is safely stored with your provider.
Could you release paid updates instead of subscription?
The App Store does not have any facility for paid updates to apps. Some publishers attempt to navigate around this by releasing new versions as separate products but this can be inefficient and neglects development of the existing versions, leading to a poor experience. We think it is better for our customers to always be provided with the latest features, not have to wait until a big new version justifies a new sale.
When will I be charged?
Your payment will be charged to your Apple ID when you confirm your subscription. You will be charged automatically at the end of the current subscription period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancelling your subscription can be done at any time from your Account settings in the App Store app.
You will not be charged automatically at the end of the trial period unless you have explicitly gone through the standard App Store purchase process for a paid membership.
Is there a trial version?
Timepage comes with a 7 day unrestricted trial. You can download the app and start using it without creating an account.
What happens to my data if my membership or the trial ends?
Your calendar data is never deleted by Timepage, regardless of your membership status. Without an active membership, you can still use the app in read-only mode, without weather features. Calendar data will remain synced to your provider of choice (iCloud, Google etc).
How much does membership cost?
For the current price in your local currency, please check inside Timepage under Membership Options.
Do I need to subscribe separately on my different devices?
No, a single subscription provides access to the app on all devices that it is available (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch).
If I uninstall then reinstall Timepage, do I have to pay again?
No, once you reinstall Timepage, please sign in with your existing account. Ensure you sign in with the account you purchased a membership with.
Is Actions included with Timepage?
Actions is a standalone product which requires its own membership beyond the free trial. If you have Actions, you can use the integration with Timepage that shows your tasks on your calendar. You can sign in with your existing Timepage account to keep your data synced.
Are there any discounts available for students?
Unfortunately we are unable to offer discounts at this time.
Does the membership renew automatically?
Yes, your membership will automatically renew so you do not need to do anything.
Can I buy the old paid version of Timepage?
No, Timepage is now exclusively a membership service.
How do I change or cancel my membership?
You can do this directly from the App Store app by tapping on your Account, then Subscriptions. See the Apple support article about this here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039
Is Timepage compatible with iOS Family Sharing?
Unfortunately, Apple does not currently allow family sharing for subscriptions. See the Apple support article about this here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203046
Who can I talk to about billing?
All billing is handled directly by Apple, you can contact their App Store support for assistance here https://support.apple.com/apps

Shelves, shelves and more shelves!! ...our storage solution for our huge kitchen. Remodeling a kitchen gets expensive... fast!!! We could have easily spent triple our entire renovation budget on just the kitchen alone if we were to do it right. Open shelving was the simplest, cheapest way to go, and I'm actually starting to like the look of it! Mr P and I have seen many articles on apartmenttherapy.com where people have open shelving in the kitchen, some really fancy, some not so fancy. One house tour in particular caught our eye, though. This is sort of the look we are going for (with the shelves anyways). It's simple, raw, and still looks nice. It's made of solid wood, and standard brackets. No particle baord with laminate veneer crap going on.... we already have enough of that with all of our Ikea furnishings!
Last night we installed the shelves above the kitchen sink. We aren't quite sure what's behind the walls (probably brick, but our drill definitely would not go through whatever it is), so we had to use rely on drywall screws (crossing our fingers they hold up... so far so good! I was positive we were going to have a casualty with setting the cast iron Dutch ovens on them, but Mr P pulled through yet again!)
We also got spice containers, so our open shelving above the stove doesn't look like mad mess with all the different spice jars. It's a good thing we know our spices, since they won't have any labels on them anymore!! We didn't have time to actually put the spices in the jars, but I was just tired of seeing the jars in the packaging creating more clutter...
Leaving today for OHIO!!! It will be so nice to see the bride- and groom-to-be, high school friends I haven't seen in a LONG time, and my mom!! ...and it will actually be nice to get away from the apartment for a little while...
Though, last night the Fedex man came to our door with the new stainless steel commercial grade island!! Mr P wanted to put it together sooo bad last night, but we just have too many things in our kitchen right now... more motivation to get things done quicker! So, I'm sure we will be anxious to get back to the grind after our little 4-day break.
Have a great weekend everyone :D

The shelves look great! Did you have to get permission from your landlord?

- jenn @ beyond the stoop said...
Thanks! Yes, we have a pretty sweet deal with the landlord. Very cheap rent and we pay for any renovations we want to do. The renovations were exhausting but fun, and we were able to learn the basics of SOO many things, like plumbing, laying floors, grouting tile, etc...

1. March figures put UK aerospace on course for record year
The first quarter of 2018 put the aerospace industry on track to set another annual record for deliveries, driven by a record 232 deliveries for single-aisle aircraft in January to March. Monthly deliveries in March also saw the highest number of aircraft deliveries on record – 151 – in any month other than December. The industry has been further boosted by strong growth in orders which already stand at 310 aircraft, 25 per cent higher than in the same period last year. The strong start to 2018 for orders mean the total backlog remains more than 14,000, close to the record set at the end of 2017.

3. Opinion: The Industry 4.0 Rant – why can't we just keep it simple?
So, we have 'Industry 4.0', 'Industrie 4.0', 'IR4', '4IR', 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution', etc. I mean, come on – we can't as a sector even agree on what to call it, so how the heck is anyone meant to understand what it's all about? Having built a career working with manufacturers to advise, guide, and support them in improving their businesses, Dan Burrows from Waterstons shares his thoughts on Industry 4.0, or whatever your business chooses to call it, and actually how this plays a part in manufacturing as we know it.

4. Manufacturing growth slows, but there are some silver linings…
Like many economic updates recently, the latest IHS Markit UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) has failed to ignite hopes of an upturn, falling to a 17-month low. Growth in the sector has slowed, however, UK manufacturers remain in growth mode over the all-important 50.1 index figure, at 53.9 for April, albeit lower than the 54.9 for March 2018. Richard Powell, manufacturing partner at accountants and business advisors, MHA Macintyre Hudson, said: "It's important to bear in mind the sector is still growing, despite the rate of growth slowing down in response to economic pressures." Dorrien Peters, head of manufacturing at law firm, Irwin Mitchell, added "The sector's growth has slowed and although this isn't too surprising bearing in mind what other recent economic barometers have shown, it's important to remember that overall we are still seeing growth."

Recommendation roundup
Our picks of the best manufacturing and business related content that caught our attention this week.
1. Why UK aerospace companies have plenty to smile about / via @telegraph
With a bulging global order book for new planes, there is a huge opportunity for the UK's skilled engineers to show their prowess. "Boeing has trebled its UK operations in the past few years," says Sir Michael Arthur, president of Boeing Europe and managing director of Boeing UK & Ireland. This astonishing growth is the result of two main factors: sky-high demand for new planes and a concerted effort to take advantage of the UK's production prowess. "We estimate that the world is going to buy roughly 40,000 new planes over the next 20 years," he explains. This is great not just for Boeing but the entire UK aerospace ecosystem that employs nearly 250,000 people directly or indirectly. Every purchase order for a new plane creates more employment opportunities. According to Sir Michael, the company continues to grow, recruiting on average a new employee every day. Direct spending with UK suppliers has tripled over the last six years to £2.1bn. This is a signal of not just the company's intentions but the wider industry's rosy prospects.

2. Industry 4.0 and automation / via @BiznessReporter
The manufacturing sector is painted as something done in the developing world, soon to be completely replaced by robots, or even something out of a Charles Dickens novel. But manufacturing jobs will exist well into the present century and beyond. What's more, the manufacturing jobs of the 21st-century are more engaging and better paid. Speaking to TechCrunch, Bob Doyle of the Association for Advancing Automation has a term for the type of manufacturing jobs being put out to pasture: "Dull, dirty or dangerous." One example he uses is flare stacks in the frigid Bering Sea. These flare stacks are constantly exposed to extreme weather conditions, requiring near constant maintenance and observation. "Who wants to do that?" he asks, exemplifying the problem of the triple-D jobs. Automation is a bit like the weather: you can like it or not like it, but it's coming anyway. However, anyone feeling a bit of anxiety about the future of the UK's workplace should take heart: there's zero evidence that there will be fewer jobs in the future and a mountain of evidence that the jobs of the future will be just as plentiful as today – with better pay and greater engagement to boot.

3. The branding conundrum: Balancing Sainsbury's quality messaging with Asda's focus on value / via @MarketingWeekEd
The Sainsbury's and Asda merger might have created the UK's biggest supermarket group, but questions remain over how the two businesses will work together when they have such distinctive brand propositions. From a scale perspective, the deal undoubtedly makes a lot of sense. But how this will work from a branding perspective raises a number of questions – especially in grocery where it brings together two supermarkets that stand for very different things. According to YouGov BrandIndex, Sainsbury's has the stronger brand, beating Asda on a vast number of metrics. On value, however, the places are reversed; Asda comes third in terms of value with a score of 23.1, while Sainsbury's is seventh (its worst position) with a score of 9.4. The figures suggest there are certainly opportunities for the two supermarkets to work together to leverage each other's strengths and try and improve the areas that they don't score so well in. But the two brands' marketers will have to make sure that they don't dilute each other's strengths while looking to improve their weaknesses. Sainsbury's CEO Mike Coupe, unsurprisingly, is confident the two businesses can co-exist without muddling their brand propositions – and at an earlier press conference (30 April) interestingly likened his business to an FMCG giant like Procter & Gamble. "Just because brands are owned by the same holding entity doesn't mean that they can't co-exist," Coupe says. "Look at any large brand or manufacturer – P&G, for example, has literally hundreds of brands and nobody makes the association that there will be some kind of brand confusion." While Sainsbury's says it will retain both fascias, whether that plays out in the long-term is another thing.

And finally, some bonus picks to add to your reading list this weekend:
1. Customers can't get enough of Aldi's latest advert / via @GHmagazine
Aldi's latest online ad shows a pear with half a lemon perching precariously on-top of it. As well as displaying budget prices for its fruit – unwaxed lemons are 69p, while seasonable pears are 79p for a pack of five, in case you wondered – there's something actually pretty genius about the image. We've included the ad in a tweet below so you can have a go at guessing the pun before revealing the answer….

Transitioning from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams
The reign of Skype for Business is coming to an end as Microsoft turns its focus on its newest vision for future intelligent communication, Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft had made Skype into a very successful communication platform since its purchase back in 2011. The application was characterized as the most reliable and easy to use communication platform and was very successful in both the business and consumer markets.
Skype for Business is going to be replaced by Microsoft Teams as its primary communication hub in the Office 365 suite. Microsoft Teams offers plenty of features that will allow businesses to communicate with one another easily and efficiently. Microsoft is going to grow this platform into something even bigger than Skype for Business.
With the Skype-to-Teams customer experience journey, you can see that by the end of 2018 Teams will offer the same features as Skype for Business. Corporations can begin the transition from Skype for Business over to Microsoft Teams, by using both platforms together. Microsoft recommends for firms to use Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams side-by-side until your company can solely rely on Teams.
Current and Updated Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams Capabilities Roadmap https://aka.ms/skype2teamsroadmap
Learn more about Microsoft Teams by downloading our whitepaper Microsoft Teams Cheat Sheet: Meet the Hub for Teamwork in Office 365. This whitepaper contains all the benefits of Teams and why you should make the switch. Find out why Microsoft has made Teams the primary focus for its intelligent communication platform.
