Today's blog post sheds light on various key functions of RP Professional that may be useful for Valuers day to day activity using the RP Data property system. The blog will cover how you can achieve:
- Postcode searches
- Multiple postcode searches
- Creating custom saved lists to use in future searches (e.g. Council Area searches)
- Searching by property owner's name, company, building etc
- Searching by Lot / Plan
Postcode search
In the RP Professional single line address search you can search for a postcode – eg 4069 QLD would be:
Creating a custom list to search from in future (eg multiple postcodes)
You can create a list of properties that you use in future as your 'territory'. To create your custom list – search for a postcode or suburb that you want. For example, Caloundra:
Select all of properties in your Caloundra suburb search (click on the 'All' option to select all properties) :
Once you have selected all of the properties you will be given the option of saving the list or adding the properties to an existing list ('Multi-property activities' bar is located at the bottom):
You can save the list and then continue to add additional suburbs and postcodes to your list by following the above step and adding the new properties to your recently created 'existing list':
Your list is then available to do searches on / refine to recent sales etc so you can get the comparables you want. The list is located on the left hand side of the RP Professionals tasks bar:
Once you have clicked on the list, you can use the cross-tabs to move across and see what is a 'Recent Sale', 'On The Market', 'Auction Results' etc. You can also refine these by type.
Log in to RP Professional. For more information on on creating multiple postcode lists, watch out tutorial video here, contact us on 1300 734 318, or to register for training visit www.rpdata.com/training.
Watch our quick tutorial video's on:
Searching by name or Lot/Plan
This can be done under the 'Search' section:
The search bar then allows you to search by Lot/Plan and Name:
Parcel is lot/plan:
And name will search in a suburb or multiple suburbs:

A professional gas plumber gives you peace of mind.
An experienced do-it-yourselfer can probably handle a leaky water line, but gas plumbing is another story. For that, you need the skills and qualifications of a professional. It's not just the smart choice; in some situations, it's the only choice.
Like water plumbing, gas lines carry natural gas or propane from the source to your home. Maybe it's from city service or maybe it's from a supply tank, such as with propane. Either way, the lines are always full. With a water line, a botched installation or repair would probably leave you with a mess. But with gas, the situation could turn dangerous in a hurry.
Here are 4 reasons why Santa Cruz Plumbing is always the right choice for any gas installation or repair in your home:
#1: Not Every Handy Person Knows Gas Plumbing
In many cases, a handy DIYer can do a reasonably good job with a simple water supply line installation or repair. But gas plumbing is different. Just because you could theoretically connect water fittings, valves and lines in a gas installation doesn't mean that it would work or be safe.
Gas plumbing takes special knowledge, materials and techniques, and it's not as straightforward as it might look. More than that, not all plumbers have gas experience. Your job requires a pro who knows how to create the supply and make it safe.
A skilled plumber can help you stay warm and safe.
#2: Faulty Installations or Repair Can Mean Big Trouble
A gas leak is an emergency. Unlike water, which can create a mini flood, gas can make you and your family sick, or worse. It can also make your fireplace, water heater, furnace or even outdoor grill an immediate fire hazard.
The home inspection experts at Inspectapedia say that "improper installation and even improper inspection and testing methods involving natural or "LP" gas can involve dangerous conditions and risk fire or explosion." The only way to know that your gas lines and appliances are safe is by letting Santa Cruz Plumbing do the work.
Without expert work, your gas service might be locked out.
#3: Some Utility Companies Require Master Plumber Repair After a Leak
If your utility company switches off your gas service because of a leak, they might not switch it back on until you can show them evidence that a professional made the repair. This protects you, your home, and neighboring properties.
A leak means that you should leave the house right away. It's nothing to wait and think on. Call the utility company, fire department or both from a safe place - not from inside your home. Gas has a special odor additive that makes it easy to recognize. If you've had a new line installed or repair made and smell that odor, it's a sign to get out quick and call us.
#4: Professional Work Protects Your Investments
Gas appliances have remained a home owner favorite for generations. Gas kitchen ranges, water heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, fireplaces and other appliances work efficiently and provide immediate heat. They're also not exactly cheap.
When you hire us to run a new gas line, install a new gas appliance and perform maintenance and repair, you're protecting your investment. Where a do-it-yourselfer can probably detect the smell of gas, we can install everything right the first time and keep it safe and in good working order.
Installed right, any utility can almost seem to fade into the background and not get much attention. And that's the way that it ought to be. You shouldn't have to worry when you turn on the tap whether your gas water heater is safe. And you shouldn't have to wonder when you use your gas fireplace whether any dangerous fumes are leaking into your home.
Gas service is warm, reliable and perfectly safe when the work is done right. Call Santa Cruz Plumbing at (831) 425-1131 or contact us online, and you'll have a comfortable home plus peace of mind.

The weather system is chaotic and known to be sensitive to the initial conditions. Therefore, it is important to estimate accurately the current state of the atmosphere for more accurate initial conditions. Data assimilation is a statistical approach to estimate the best possible atmospheric state using both simulation and observation data. The local ensemble transform Kalman filter (LETKF) is an advanced data assimilation method that is particularly efficient with parallel architecture computers.
Non-hydrostatic icosahedral atmospheric model (NICAM) is a weather forecasting model and has been developed by Computational Climate Science Research Team in AICS. Data Assimilation Research Team works collaboratively and applied the LETKF to the NICAM for assimilating various kinds of observations. We are developing a new system for assimilating satellite data. In this talk I will give a brief and clear introduction to data assimilation and present the most recent research on the newly-developed NICAM-LETKF system.
日時: 2015年5月15日 (金)、 15:00 – 16:00
講演題目: Applying the Local Transform Ensemble Kalman Filter to the non-hydrostatic atmospheric model NICAM

The best free agent running back available is former Cowboy, Eagle and Titan DeMarco Murray.
And according to an ESPN report, the Dolphins have inquired about Murray.
It makes sense.
Miami needs a running back to complement starter Kenyan Drake. And coach Adam Gase wants a versatile running back who can run inside and out and catch and block sufficiently.
Murray led the NFL in rushing in 2014 with 1,845 yards as a Cowboy, but hasn't had as much success since.
After signing a big deal to play for the Eagles and Chip Kelly, Murray's yards per carry decreased from 4.7 to 3.6 and his touchdowns decreased from 13 to 6.
Murray, 30, has rushed for 1,267 and 659 yards for the Titans the last two seasons. An excellent receiver and blocker, Murray has averaged 7.1 yards on 307 career catches.
Pro Football Focus ranked Murray the 40th-ranked running back in the NFL last season, 45th in rushing, 34th in receiving and 1st in pass blocking (this could be very beneficial to returning quarterback Ryan Tannehill).
Murray, 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, not be the same player he was with the Cowboys, but his production has steadied after the setback in Philadelphia. Murray and Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills were also teammates at Oklahoma in 2010.
Murray has more left than veteran Arian Foster did when he signed with the Dolphins. And Murray would benefit from running behind an improved Miami offensive line than should do well in the running game.
Miami's offensive line will likely be Laremy Tunsil-Josh Sitton-Daniel Kilgore-Jesse Davis-Ja'Wuan James, with Ted Larsen trying to beat out Davis at right guard.
Murray has earned between $6- and $7 million per season in each of the last two years. But the Titans chose to cut Murray instead of taking a $6.5 million cap hit this year.
If the Dolphins were able to secure Murray with a deal in the range of $3.5-$5.0 million per season, it could be beneficial to both teams and provide Murray an opportunity to extend his career. Gase wants a running back to share carries with Drake.

TORONTO – Just like her opponent Saturday night, Jessica Eye thinks there are big things in store for her with a win.
The womens' flyweight fight everyone is talking about is between former bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and ex-strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) in the UFC 231 co-main event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
But Eye (13-6 MMA, 3-5 UFC) takes on Katlyn Chookagian (11-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) on the FS1-broadcast prelims, and firmly believes a win makes her next in line for whomever emerges with the vacant title.
"We're on the same card as the championship, right? It would seem only fair," Eye said at a media day for UFC 231 today in Toronto.
Chookagian said she's been tapped as the backup plan for the UFC in case either Shevchenko or Jedrzejczyk can't go. But Eye hasn't been given that same luxury.
That's OK with her.
"I mean, what am I supposed to do, hope for it and it not happen and then be disappointed?" Eye said. "I went, after my last fight, and renegotiated my own contract – managerless. I asked (UFC President) Dana (White) right away – I had a great meeting with him, and the first thing I said was I want the next title shot. And he goes, 'I can't do that, Jess.' And I'm like, 'Why? You do it all the time. Why not?' I knew then that I wasn't going to get it. It's worth asking for.
"Everyone says you're only as good as your last fight. I've won my last two fights – why am I still being held to the same standards when I lost at bantamweight. I took all of those girls to decisions. … If I don't get the title shot the next time, then we just keep chipping away and we beat all the girls they put in front of us and then what can you say?"
Eye falls on the opposite end of the spectrum as Chookagian, though, when it comes to Saturday's title bout. Chookagian today said she thinks Jedrzejczyk moving up to flyweight and getting a title shot after years at strawweight is a good thing for the division.
Eye, though? Not so much.
"I think it's terrible for our weight class," Eye said. "It messes up the division. If you want these divisions to have true stances and 'This is the world title,' you can't be mixing people up. … I don't think it was fair, but who am I? I'm just another flyweight in the division."
When she was at bantamweight, Eye had a rough stretch that saw her drop five of six fights, all by decision. But those fights came against former champion Miesha Tate on her way to the title, former title challengers Alexis Davis, Sara McMann and Bethe Correia, and "TUF 18" winner Julianna Pena.
In her return to flyweight, where she started her career, wins over Kalindra Faria and Jessica-Rose Clark earlier this year have her back on track. And she thinks she'll have the edge against Chookagian on Saturday.
"I don't know what Chookagian's been through," Eye said. "I can only believe I'm fully prepared at all levels, and the experience level having so many UFC fights – being in a position where I was close to a title fight. … I'm not setting myself up for failure, I'm setting myself up for success and looking at just the task at hand right now."

Budget Cell Phones and Service
While nearly 90 percent of Americans have at least one cell phone, millions of low-income residents cannot afford wireless service. To bridge that gap, the Universal Service Fund gives carriers -- through its Lifeline Assistance Program -- up to $10 a month per subscriber to provide free cell phone service for the underprivileged.
The number of minutes users get depends on the phone company providing the service. Some wireless carriers take that $10 and supply subscribers with as many as 250 free minutes, while others provide just 68. If customers want additional minutes, rollover minutes, texting or international calling, they can buy those services for an additional monthly fee. Some carriers provide text messaging, with each text equal to one minute [sources: Richtel; Free Government Cell Phones].
The government does not pay for the phones themselves; some companies give them away. The phones are basic, with ringtones, caller ID and call waiting. Most are brand names made by Samsung, Nokia and Motorola, and they don't have cameras, Web browsing or data services. Some carriers provide the discounted service, but not the phones, which customers have to purchase [sources: Richtel; Free Government Cell Phones; Segan].
For years, participation in the program dragged until TracFone, a company based in Miami, started using the subsidies to provide subscribers with a free phone and 60 minutes of free monthly service called Safelink. Within a short time, Safelink, which advertises on TV, grew to 2 million customers in 31 states, and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In addition to Safelink, Assurance Wireless (a brand of Sprint/Nextel), AT&T and many regional carriers also participate in the program [sources: Lajeunesse; Free Government Cell Phones; Segan].
Today, roughly 8 million people take part in the Lifeline program [source: Free Government Cell Phones]. One of those subscribers is Leon Simmons of the Bronx, N.Y. Simmons, a Navy veteran, worked at the Post Office and as a security guard before becoming ill with emphysema, which left him disabled. His wife works a minimum wage job at a local Laundromat. When the couple heard of Lifeline, they signed up. The free cell phone provides Simmons with security. He can stay in touch with his wife and daughter, especially when he's at the doctor [source: Richtel].
Still, Lifeline is no stranger to controversy. Some see it as social welfare run amuck and think the government shouldn't be subsidizing for the poor [source: Richtel]. Others argue there's no way to verify that those who participate in the program actually qualify for the service [source: Lajeunesse].
Despite the debate, the program has been a boon for many wireless carriers. Although most Americans have a cell phone, Lifeline allows wireless companies to use the government subsidies to service a small, but untapped market -- the poor. Residents of Alaska, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia use the free cell phone service the most, while those living in Hawaii and Indiana use it the least [source: Segan].

Cooking dinner at home the easy way
Meal-kit delivery services began disrupting the grocery store industry a few years ago, carving out a $1.5-billion niche in the $800-billion United States grocery business in 2016.
Consumers like the simplicity of having a recipe and all the necessary ingredients packaged up and delivered to them along with the experience of a home-cooked meal.
Even Amazon is getting into the meal-kit game, following its acquisition of Whole Foods Market.
But there's only one meal-kit delivery service that is Oak Cliff owned.
Sam and Amy Roberts, who live in our neighborhood, started Field to Meal in 2014.
Their service, which is based out of a warehouse in the Design District, focuses on local and organic produce.
The Robertses initially were inspired by Amy's aunt's farm in Waxahachie, where they often lent a hand.
"Our main goal is just getting fresh food from farmers around here," Amy says. "Farmers work really hard, and I don't think people always understand what goes into producing their food."
All of Field to Meal's produce comes from farms in the North Texas area, and they buy as much organic as possible.
Amy comes up with most of the recipes. A recent favorite was Asian chicken cakes served over a salad of sunflower shoots from We Over Me Farm at Paul Quinn College.
The meals are healthy, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available.
There are times when local farms offer less variety, Amy says. In the planting season between summer and fall, for example, a lot of dishes incorporate tomatoes because they were abundant. When butternut squash is in season, it's tempting to put them into everything, she says. But she's constantly coming up with creative new ways to showcase the best of North Texas produce.
"I have a bit of a flair for what the farmers have in season and combine it into a nutritious meal plan each week," she says.
Field to Meal's pricing depends on how many servings and how many deliveries per week. Five meals per week to serve four people costs $135.
Meal-kit delivery
Ambiance: Your own kitchen
Price range: $35-$205 per week
b Delivery is every Wednesday
Did you know?: Field to Meal also delivers grocery essentials such as milk and eggs.

Just after landing in Cayenne, Felix Eboué airport, the Gaia spacecraft container and accompanying equipment have been transported by trucks to Europe's spaceport in Kourou CSG (Centre Spatial Guyanais). Due to works on the road and due to the locally famous cycle Tour de Guyane, the transport was tricky to plan, with a risk to be forced to wait a few hours at the airport in case of delayed departure. Thanks to the timely arrival of the plane and to the good preparation, the spacecraft container convoy reached the S1B integration building at CSG in time.
During transport under the tropical heat, the atmosphere inside the spacecraft container is controlled using a portable generator. In case of delay or failure, a spare truck and a spare generator with plenty of fuel are part of the impressive convoy lead by several police escorts.
When the spacecraft arrived at CSG, the necessary equipment to unload the container in S1B was ready to allow installing it in the clean room airlock. In order to avoid contamination of the clean room, it stayed in the airlock overnight and was cleaned. The next morning it has finally been brought into the S1B high bay.
In parallel, accompanying equipment was cleaned, dispatched and made ready for use. The container opening took place early Monday morning (26 Aug). We all were happy to see that the spacecraft was effectively inside and looking good. With the efficient support of our packers and IT engineers, the ESA office set-up is already running, ready for the arrival of the project secretary and the rest of the team.
All members of the early team managed at best the combination of work, unpacking, getting through the safety training and solving all kind of unexpected popping issues while participating to the numerous coordination meetings with new colleges from Arianespace and CNES.
Preparation for the first planned tests such as alignment and propulsion is already in progress. Tomorrow (Thursday 29 August), the second Antonov plane transporting the Deployable Sunshield Assembly and the Electrical ground support Equipment are planned to land at Cayenne airport. We'll report on the arrival in our next blog post.

"My study abroad experience was absolutely amazing, no doubt, but to say that it was easy would be a lie. Sometimes native Koreans didn't believe that I was Korean because I was too tan and Americans couldn't understand why I didn't use my chopsticks right. Every day I questioned which one of my identities was the one I wanted to represent and I spent a lot of my mental time wondering which identity was the right one.
When I returned home, I was reminded that my identity struggle wasn't restricted by country lines. Every day I'm reminded that I associate with two different cultures, but every day I'm exploring how those cultures blend into one and represent me. Not me as a Korean, and not me as an American, but me as a human being. I've learned that identity isn't dependent on who your parents are or where you're from or what people expect of you, but it's about what you do with your life in relation to those aspects of who you are." -Jenny, CIEE Seoul, South Korea

A Passion to Support Local Economies and Public Interest is Critical to Capacity Building Success
IFAC Dedicates Capacity Building Award to Professional Accountants in Emerging Economies
Oct 12, 2016 | New York | English
Carlos M. Tornero, Editor, The Accountant; IFAC President Olivia Kirtley; Vincent Huck, Editor, International Accounting Bulletin
The International Federation of Accountants® (IFAC®) and its Chief Operating Officer, Alta Prinsloo, were honored to receive the Accountancy Capacity Building Champion of the Year Award at the 2016 The Accountant & International Accounting Bulletin awards.
IFAC's Professional Accountancy Organization (PAO) Capacity Building Program supports the profession's growth in the developing world, where the profession's skills are vital to embedding transparency, credibility, and good governance into national economies.
IFAC CEO Fayez Choudhury said IFAC is delighted to receive the award on behalf of PAOs and their members in emerging economies. "Their passion to grow and support their economies—and become sustainable, self-supporting PAOs—is an inspiration," he said.
"Led by Alta and her team, IFAC's capacity building work is made possible by local PAO enthusiasm, visionary funding provided by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), and our delivery partners—highly experienced PAOs from the UK, Ireland, and Kenya—whose on-the-ground experience makes them invaluable assets in helping grow our global profession."
DFID-funded projects are currently operating in Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, with additional projects under active consideration. These projects are delivered in-country by a wide range of PAOs, including: Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland, and Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya.
IFAC's capacity building award was collected by President Olivia Kirtley, who was separately honored with the The Accountant and International Accounting Bulletin's Lifetime Achievement Award.
"With Olivia concluding her two-year term as IFAC president in November, her Lifetime Achievement award is a symbol of the remarkable career that preceded her presidency. As our president, she is an especially effective global ambassador for the profession. And at a time when the accountancy profession is making great progress in promoting women into leadership, Olivia has spent her career shattering glass ceilings and—most importantly—reaching back to help and encourage women following behind her," Mr. Choudhury said.
About IFAC
IFAC is the global organization for the accountancy profession dedicated to serving the public interest by strengthening the profession and contributing to the development of strong international economies. IFAC is comprised of more than 175 members and associates in more than 130 countries and jurisdictions, representing almost 3 million accountants in public practice, education, government service, industry, and commerce.

Senator John McCain was the second candidate to outline his solutions to the housing and credit situation. He restated the history leading up to the current situation and placed the blame for the crisis on:
Calling it "straight talk," Senator McCain said, "I will not play election year
politics with the housing crisis."
"I have always been committed to the principle that it is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers. Government assistance to the banking system should be based solely on preventing systemic risk that would endanger the entire financial system and the economy.
The Senator said that no assistance should be given to speculators and that any aid should be limited to homeowners and their primary residences, must be temporary, and not reward people who were irresponsible at the expense of those who weren't.
"I will consider any and all proposals based on their cost and benefits."
His most specific proposals include:
These four, the Senator said, would be the principals against which he would examine and evaluate new housing proposals.
He also advocated convening a meeting of the nation's top mortgage lenders with the goal of extracting a pledge that they will provide maximum support and help to their cash-strapped but credit-worthy customers.

Are you shopping online for your favorite dress or gear? Well good thing you found this page. We are revealing the best fashion and apparel stores in the Philippines!
We must admit that Filipinos have a very good sense in fashion. I mean, who doesn't want to look cool and fashionable with hot new clothes and the latest gear, right? The days have finally come when it's not all necessary to go to actual malls or bazaars to equip ourselves with clothes. With online stores, you can order almost anything you want and have it delivered to your home as soon as it's available. If you don't have a computer, you can even use your mobile phone to process orders. However when shopping online for clothes or anything wearable, I'd suggest you spend a little more time searching what's best for you as there can be many style and size variants. To start with, we are giving you the Best Online Fashion Stores in the Philippines. This list of stores have been chosen based on popularity, product designs, variety and affordability.
Top #1
Zalora Philippines
website: www.zalora.com.ph
Zalora is no doubt the leading online fashion and apparel store in the country. With its prompt delivery and customer service, many people have been impressed and delighted with this store. Zalora has it all – a very huge collection of the top local and international brands; for ladies looking for a cocktail dress, maxi dress or even long gowns, and guys looking for shoes, gears and watches. If you sign up on their website today and receive their newsletter – it will help get ideas with the latest fashion trends plus you get a 300 peso discount on your first purchase. The store offers lots of items and dresses on sale, free delivery, free returns and cash on delivery.
Top #2
website: www.gobuy.com.ph
It is formerly known as Shop This Easy (STE) – a very popular online shopping store in the Philippines. We're not sure why they changed name, but it's probably company restructure. Although their product brands are not internationally acclaimed, they have the best fashion items we've seen in the online market. No wonder why customers keep coming back. Not only they offer clothing, but they also have various items in other categories such as beauty products, home and living, and even gadgets. For resellers, they also offer wholesale of clothes which absolutely gives you big discounts.
Top #3
website: www.kily.ph
Kily.ph is known as an online wholesaler of clothes in the Philippines. Now they are offering retail purchase on their website, which is great because you can still get their products at a wholesale price. If you're looking for affordable dress and fashion, this is the store for you. Most of their products resemble to korean-style fashion that are very cool, simple and unique. They have a huge inventory including bags, toys and even sexy costumes and lingeries that your hubby would surely love!
Top #4
Seek The Uniq
website: www.seektheuniq.com
As the name suggests so, Seek The Uniq is for someone who wants unique dress collections. They produce products only in small amounts which is good at the same time bad – as the dress you want may quickly go out of stock. Their designs are so classy and cultural. Judging by the pictures on their website, I'm sure they're using great materials and they are hand-crafted by skillful workers. I'm not a designer but I can say that their creations are works of art. If you're not on a tight budget and if you're really into fashion, then this store should suit you best.
Top #5
Lazada Philippines
website: www.lazada.com.ph
Lazada is our last pick because it's a universal shopping store which does not focus primarily on clothes. However we have to include it on this list because of its massive inventory of fashion items. Similar to its sister company (Zalora), Lazada has the finest collection of international and local brands and even the most affordable ones. Lazada also consists of third party stores and sellers, most of which are already well-known fashion wholesalers and retailers. You can shop 'til you drop!
That would be our Top 5 Online Clothing/Fashion stores in the Philippines. Or better yet, shop on Amazon – the world's largest online store! If you have any suggestions, please leave your comments below. Stay classy and happy shopping!

German energy group Uniper has concluded an agreement with Australian fund First State Investments to divest its stake in OLT Offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) Toscana.
First State Investments will acquire Uniper's entire OLT stake. The purchase price for Uniper's stake amounts to approx. €400 million ($452 million) and will be adjusted at closing for any distributions already made to Uniper in 2018 and 2019. The resulting net proceeds at a closing later this year are expected to be at a level of approx. €340 million.
Uniper has a 48.2% stake in OLT. OLT's other shareholders are Italy-based IREN Group, which has a 49.1% stake, and Golar LNG, which has a 2.7% stake.
OLT is the company that developed and operates "FSRU Toscana", a floating storage and regasification unit. The unit is moored about 22 kilometers from the Tuscan coast between Pisa and Livorno and has a maximum authorized regasification capacity of 3.75 billion cubic meters per year.
Uniper is active in developing LNG infrastructure in Europe and in procuring and trading LNG worldwide. OLT is a regulated asset and for Uniper a purely financial minority participation. Therefore, being a shareholder of OLT offers Uniper no advantages for expanding and optimizing its own LNG portfolio.
Eckhardt Rümmler, Uniper COO said: "We're pleased to divest our stake in OLT Offshore LNG Toscana to an experienced gas infrastructure investor like First State Investments. We've always said that selected existing gas infrastructure investments which we consider as strategic non-core assets may be suitable for portfolio rotation. That means that we would reinvest the sale proceeds in our growth businesses that generate attractive returns. The agreement on the sale is another example of how we're systematically implementing our strategy."
The closing of the transaction is still subject to the approval of the competent authorities as well as other customary conditions.

Frenzal Rhomb
Hi-Vis High Tea
Written by: PP on 24/08/2017 22:17:03
Nine albums down and Aussie heroes Frenzal Rhomb are not slowing down. One of the fastest bands in the world, the no frills pop punkers are at it again on "Hi-Vis High Tea", an album spanning twenty songs across just thirty-five minutes about no particularly serious topics. It's all about fucking their school reunion, shelving stacks while stacking shelves, and of course, about having beers and shots as they sing on the super simplistic but oddly NOFX-esque "Beer And A Shot".
Lighthearted no-frills pop punk with no bullshit is what it's all about. Tight riffs suitable for skating and circle pits, and roughly zero changes stylistically speaking compared to, well, pretty much any of their other eight albums since 1995. It's kind of like Bad Religion: with a new Frenzal Rhomb album, you know exactly what you're getting. Infectiously catchy, albeit admittedly totally brain-dead party songs spiced with tongue-in-cheek humor and a whatever goes attitude to lyricism. Some songs, of course, are a little more serious like "Messed Up" or "Digging A Hole For Myself", but in contrast, you have rippers like "Pigworm" which goes (literally) like this: "Pigworm. Pigworm. Pigworm. Pigworm. Pigworm. Pigworm. What the fuck? [...] My porcine point of view, that I put down to education / Was in fact a fucking pigworm shitting in my brain / Pig / Worm". Well, you get the point.
So as long as you're able to get over the sheer stupidity of all, Frenzal Rhomb delivers what Frenzal Rhomb has always delivered: consistently great pop punk played at lightning speed and with instantly catchy sing along melodies. A simpler version of Mxpx and Captain Everything!, if you will. What worked in the golden 90s still works brilliantly in 2017 - no complaints from here.

(f. 34d.)
|To Robert Bothe, dean of York, doctor of laws. Decree, as below. Paul II ordered him to be dispensed, notwithstanding his illegitimacy as the son of a married nobleman and an unmarried woman, to be promoted to all, even holy orders and hold, resign or exchange any compatible benefices, of any number and kind, with or without cure. Upon its being set forth on his behalf to the present pope that he was the son, not of a married, but of an unmarried nobleman, and that he feared lest the said dispensation (to the execution of which the judge appointed had proceeded) might be held surreptitious, etc., the pope granted to him that it should hold good, as if it had not contained the said error. Afterwards the pope dispensed him (he having been made a clerk, and holding in virtue of the said dispensation the parish church of St. Matthew, Ipswich (in Gipwico), in the diocese of Norwich) to hold for life with that church any other benefice, or if he resigned that church any two other benefices with cure or otherwise incompatible, even if, etc., and to resign or exchange them as often as he pleased. The pope having learned that without the said letters of Paul II having been presented to the said executor, and without any proceedings having been taken to have them executed, Robert had himself made a clerk and promoted to all, even holy and priest's orders, and obtained the deanery of York, a major elective dignity with cure, and (having resigned St. Matthew's) obtained the parish church of Bodon Magna in the diocese of Lincoln, and other benefices, even incompatible, in virtue of the said dispensations, and that he doubts the validity of such collations and of the said letters of pope Paul and the present pope, the pope hereby, motu proprio, decrees that the said collations, dispensations, ordinations, etc. shall hold good, as if he had presented the letters of pope Paul to the said executor, and as if the latter had proceeded to execute them, etc. Litterarum sciencia, vite ac morum. [3¾ pp.]
|Id. July.
(15 July.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 53r.)
|To Hugh Spaldyng, a brother of the Lazar house or hospital of Burton, in the diocese of Lincoln. (fn. 1) Confirmation, etc., as below. His recent petition contained that Thomas, bishop of London, the patron, made him collation of the parish church of Duddinghurst in his diocese, he being a brother of the above house, but acting as and reputed to be a secular priest, and having been dispensed by Nicholas V to hold for life, and to resign or exchange any secular benefice with or without cure [Cal. Papal Lett., vol. X, p. 72], in virtue of which he obtained and holds the said church. At his said petition (adding that although he had been thus dispensed to hold a secular benefice, nevertheless, inasmuch as the said collation was made to him as a secular priest, and wearing the habit of a secular priest, he is under sentences of apostasy, etc. by the said Order [of St. Lazarus], wherefore he fears lest the said collation etc. are invalid and null and void), the pope hereby confirms the said collation etc., absolves him (who has held the said church for between three and five years, and has received therefrom altogether about 40 gold ducats of the Camera) from such apostasy etc., grants, motu proprio, that the said collation etc. shall hold good, so that he may retain the said church for life, and grants him dispensation to hold for life with the said church, and to resign or exchange, any other benefice with or without cure, wont to be governed by secular clerks, and indult to wear henceforth for life the habit of the said Order beneath a becoming mantle or priestly vestment of a becoming colour, (fn. 2) without incurring apostasy, etc. Religionis zelus, vite etc. [3 pp.]
|17 Kal. Sept.
(16 Aug.)
St. Peter's, Rome.
(f. 88r.)

Even Churchill's bitterest enemies — and at times they were many — would hasten to acknowledge that he was a great man.
Churchill was both a soldier and a statesman. He served in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, narrowly escaping death on numerous occasions. He helped conceive the use of the tank in World War I to break the trench-warfare stalemate and pioneered the portable landing harbors for the D-Day invasion of France.
He masterminded the greatest military gambit of the twentieth century in Operation Bodyguard, a two-year deception that convinced the German High Command the Allies would land at Calais rather than Normandy. As a statesman and orator, Churchill had no equal. "He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle," stated John F. Kennedy.
To this day, we cherish the iconic Churchill: cigar clenched jauntily in his mouth, fingers locked into 'V for victory,' standing up to Hitler and Nazi might against all odds. And certainly that was the real Churchill: soldier, strategist, spymaster, statesman, orator. But there was much more, equally real, to Winston Churchill, a complicated man of many parts.
Standing five-and-a-half feet tall, Churchill was also a journalist, author, sportsman, historian, inventor, painter, bricklayer, and all-around bon vivant.
He earned extra money to provide for his expensive lifestyle by writing works for many publications, and had more words published than almost all of the famous authors of his day. Churchill wrote his own speeches, not a practice used by most politicians, and won a Nobel Prize for his contribution to the written and spoken word. He authored histories of World War I and II, as well as his multi-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples.
But the man who loved words also loathed numbers. It took him three attempts before he passed the entrance exam to join the army. He joined the cavalry because the exam did not require him to study mathematics.
Few know that he was also an excellent athlete, painter, and bricklayer. His determination for success in all aspects of his life proved to be an enormously important component to all he encountered. Churchill was a ranking polo player until age fifty. He played polo with the same vigor that he played politics and acted as a war leader. And, under the nom de brush, Charles Morin, he painted landscapes with that same vigor, a critical method of avoiding what he called his "black dog" depression. Sir Oswald Birley remarked "If Sir Winston had given the time to art that he has given to politics, he would have been by all odds the world's greatest painter." Churchill built the brick walls of Chartwell, his country home, briefly becoming a trades-union member as a result.
He enjoyed "hot baths, cold champagne, new peas, and old brandy — the four essentials of life." He loved horses, cats and dogs, including his poodles, Rufus I and Rufus II. He was addicted to whiskey, cigars, and conversation. In short, he was, to use his own words, "easily satisfied with the best."
But he was also a faithful husband and devoted father. His marriage to Clementine lasted fifty-six years and he often declared that it was the best decision of his life: "I got married and lived happily ever after." They had five children together, Diana, Randolph, Sarah, Marigold (who died at two-years old of septicemia) and Mary (who died in 2014 at ninety-one-years old).
Like his numerous, diverse, and often astonishing achievements, these deeper parts of his being, the kaleidoscopic mix of personalities that made up the man, are not readily captured in words, however well chosen. We present, not only the gifted Churchill of history, but the man within — his joyousness and sorrows, his pugnaciousness and tenderness, his moral certainties and doubts, his vulnerabilities and immutable strengths.
Considered by many the greatest man of the twentieth century, he was despite it all, of flesh and blood.
The Man Within is meant to reinvigorate the spirit of Churchill fifty years after his passing — approachable rather than academic, lively rather than staid.
This coffee-table book features 200 exceptional black-and-white photos, many never published before, woven together with his own powerful words. It tells his own story — his childhood, his family, his passions, his friends, his life. It has been chosen as the official commemorative book of the Churchill Centre on the fiftieth anniversary of his passing. A percentage of royalties goes to the Churchill Foundation.
To start the book off with a bang, and to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his passing, we will be throwing launch parties this spring in San Francisco, New York, and London. Backing at the highest level comes with an invite to each of these parties.

Woolacombe is a seaside resort on the coast of North Devon, England, which lies at the mouth of a valley (or 'combe') in the parish of Mortehoe. The beach is 3 miles (4.8 km) long, sandy, gently sloping and faces the Atlantic Ocean near the western limit of the Bristol Channel.
It is a popular destination for surfing and family holidays and is part of the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The beach has been managed by Parkin Estates Ltd for over half a century and has over the years continuously been recognised as one of the best beaches in Europe. It won the title of Britain's Best Beach in the "Coast Magazine Awards 2012" and was awarded the same prize of Britain's Best Beach in 2015 by TripAdvisor, also ranking in their polls as 4th in Europe and 13th best in the world.[2] The beach water quality is monitored regularly by the environment agency and meets its highest standards.
The winter population is very small (around 1,000), but during the summer large numbers of people come to the village for their holidays. Many are motivated to visit because of the excellent surfing conditions found locally. There are many hotels, holiday flats, holiday parks, campsites and bed and breakfast establishments, and most of the entertainment opportunities are aimed at tourists. The village is served by a local independent pharmacy which is open all year round and a satellite doctors surgery. A long-established attraction in the centre of the village was a crazy golf course which featured North Devon landmarks for the holes, the unique model buildings being constructed from the various types of stone found in the local area. This attraction was demolished and rebuilt as a pirate themed crazy golf course in 2010.

Geology and wildlife[edit]
Woolacombe lies within the North Devon Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is renowned for its dramatic coastal cliffs and landscape. Due to Atlantic waves, the swell is at somewhat large and very clean making it a great benefit for surfing.
The beach also is flanked by sloping sand dunes which are popular for climbing on, and can be observed undergoing biological succession - The dunes are becoming populated by marram grass and sea spurge at the top of the dunes.
Right across from the beach, there are panoramic views of Lundy Island. Woolacombe has the benefit of low cliffs at either end of the beach which are home to the rare maritime heathland as well as sand dunes behind the beach. Much of the countryside close to the village is owned and cared for by the National Trust. The coast itself is part of the North Devon Voluntary Marine Conservation Area because of its diverse and rare species.
Like a number of British beaches, it is privately owned and until 1948 the beach and much of the surrounding land was owned by the Chichester family, who acquired it in 1133 during the reign of King Henry I. When Lady Rosalie Chichester, the last of the line, died in 1949 it had been in her family's possession for over 800 years. On her death the Chichester's land in Woolacombe and Mortehoe and the family estate at Arlington near Barnstaple had been willed to the National Trust. However, the beach and some surrounding land had previously been purchased by Stanley Parkin, a family friend. Ray Parkin, the current chairman, has been closely involved with the development and management of the company since 1985 and took over as chairman on the death of his father in 1995.
During the Second World War, the U.S. Army Assault Training Centre was based at Woolacombe, where thousands of small boat crews and infantry practised amphibious landing assaults on the beach in preparation for the Invasion of Normandy, part of Operation Overlord. The long flat shape of the beach and the conditions of the hinterland were considered to closely resemble the Omaha Beach landing area.[11]
There is a stone memorial to the soldiers, dedicated in 1992,[12] sited on the grassy headland at the northern end of the beach.
The main way to get to Woolacombe is by road. During the summer the roads, which are largely very rural and quite narrow, can become very congested as people queue up to get into one of the two large car parks which are situated close to the beach.
A bus service runs from the village to Barnstaple (303), Ilfracombe, Combe Martin and Mortehoe. The village had a joint railway station with Mortehoe on the Ilfracombe Branch Line which closed in 1970. There is also a locally operated bus by one of the holiday park companies which ferries holidaymakers from their four caravan and camping parks to the beach which helps ease congestion at peak times.[13]
The South West Coast Path runs through the village, and gives access to the spectacular North Devon coast, with the walk out to and around Morte Point being particularly popular. There are several establishments in the area that provide opportunities for pony trekking. Some offer experienced riders the chance to ride along Woolacombe Sands.
There are several places of worship in Woolacombe, all Christian. The most obvious of these is the Anglican Church of St Sabinus, consecrated in 1912, and which is sited on the main road into the village centre. The church was built to cater for the growing number of tourists visiting the village every year after the opening of the local railway station in 1874. The church is dedicated to St Sabinus, a canonised Italian bishop; local stories claim it was named after a missionary from Ireland who was ship-wrecked at Woolacombe but there is no evidence to support this. St. Sabinus church was designed by the architect W. D. Caröe and built in 1909-12.
A branch of the California-based Calvary Chapel was established in 2000, meeting at the time in the village hall, now meets in the old Methodist Church, Beach Lane;[14] and in 2002 the chapel organised the first Creation Fest, a free Christian music festival, held annually on the outskirts of the village[15] until 2008, when the festival was relocated to Cornwall.

text: I found my love of movement and creativity at the age of four at Mrs. Hackney's school of dance. I went on to pursue a career in the performing arts, beginning as a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance instructor. I taught and choreographed throughout New England and New York City and eventually ended up in Chicago where I taught for the Academy for the Performing Arts, Roosevelt University, and Columbia College. Following a third knee injury and subsequent surgery, I turned my passion from the performing arts to the visual arts through photography. I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and an award winning photographer and mixed media artist. One of the most powerful things I've learned on my journey is compassion. I know how hard and challenging life can be and I am grateful to have found my true passions. I love to coach, teach, and train people and witness as the power of movement and creativity inspire and transform every aspect of their lives including their mind, body, and spirit. I'd love to support you in creating and living the life of your dreams.

Welcome to the party, conservatives. I see you don't complain about any of Bush's policies, unless you actually realize who started the bailouts.
GOPers complain about the gov't "taking" their money (when in fact most got a tax cut under Obama)to help pay for things like: 1) health care, 2) green jobs, 3) better environmental protection, 4) better management of FEMA, FDA, etc.
GOPers, however, have no problem w/Repub gov'ts spending BILLIONS on the war in Iraq, where the gov't LIED about why we needed to go there (mainly so that the Bush & Cheney families could get richer than ever), as well as corporate CEOs, esp Big Ins, ripping the workers off.
IOKIYAR, but clearly anything the Dems do is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Just about money and power and now more SHILL stuff from the folks who brought you death to more than 4000 US troops, plus 100s of thousands middle eastern folk. YAY team: go!
*drives on paved roads in a safety regulated car to work at a safety ensured building*
If a nation can't collect revenue from taxes, then that nation's infrastructure will slowly collapse.
What is happening in California is just the start of this cancer.
And if a nation cuts taxes repeatedly for the richest 10%, the middle class has to shoulder more of the burden, one way or another.
Example: many rightwing blowhards advocate abolishing income tax and replacing it with the so-called "fair sales tax". This is a 30% tax on everything that the rich can easily afford but will grind the middle class to powder.
Why the average working class hero buys into tax cuts for the rich while complaining about roads falling apart or bridges collapsing or why a gallon of gas costs a small fortune just amazes me.
Can't Americans see that this is a giant game of three card monte?
To Gruaud: I concur, but why these dopes don't see the forest for the trees reflects the considerable ongoing brainwashing efforts enacted by neocons, which you can see is working quite well from their perspective.
Neocons (such as Cheney, Lee Atwater, Newt Gingrich, Jerry Fallwell & Pat Buchanon) actively discussed this when the left made some footholds in the 60s. It started slowly but gained momentum mainly by incorporating the funamentalist Xtians (apologies to those of faith who don't buy into this junk) in their nefarious plans.
I don't have time to get the background info, but it's been researched, believe me.
And Fatty Limbo and Wierdo Beck (and, really, more to the point, "Sir" Rupert Murdoch & Roger Ailes) are all part of that plan.
The question now is: how can the left push back against this when clearly these dopes have been so unilaterally brainwashed that nothing FACTUAL ever penetrates their little worlds?
Point to ponder. Keith Olbermann is pondering how to handle Glenn Beck right now without turning into something similar. How do we push back without turning into the slavering bullying mob that the right has become?
Serious questions for all of us to consider.
Unless we can bring accountability back into the mainstream media, progressives haven't a hope in hell. The media has literally gone from being watchdogs to being lapdogs.
Whether this return to accountability is accomplished by a resurrection of the Fairness Doctrine (unlikely; Obama opposes it) or by breaking up the corporate monopolies on media(also unlikely) or the blogosphere continuing to shine a light on their BS or some other way -- that has to be a priority.
Unfortunately, Faux won a lawsuit recently (perhaps last year) which essentially permitted them the right to peddle fiction "news" as if it was factual (I'm extropolating, but that's basically what the lawsuit agreed to).
So, right now, there are NO brakes on Faux - or any "news" outlet - to be even vaguely factual, much less even give a passing glance at "the other side" of the issue.
We are far, far, far away from the days of Walter Cronkite, who mostly strove for objectivity in presenting FACTS. The right can venerate Cronkite all it wants, but if Cronkite were alive today, he'd be lucky to have a show on MSNBC's evening lineup. He would certainly NEVER be welcome on Faux or CNN.
So, Faux can peddle it's fictional b.s. as fact with the court's blessing, and there's nothing anyone can do about it, other than attempt to report the FACTS elsewhere.
As we know, Faux watchers, however, are VERY WELL TRAINED to ignore facts and stay wired into their little "world" of non-reality. EVEN WHEN W told the Nation that Saddam Hussein did NOT have WMD, many GOPers still persist in believing that he did and/or that he had "something" to do w/911. Are you scared now? You should be.
However, Lawrence O'Donnell made optimistic commentary last night (9/8) on KO's show:
Lawrence said that, in the past (refering, for ex, to the health care initiative under Clinton), the left was pretty much left off the table, and we (leftards) had to "take" whatever we got (bc of our relative lack of power vis-a-vis the well-funded right). O'Donnell said that it might be different this time around MAINLY BC OF THE INTERNET and LEFT BLOGS. The left definitely has more of a VOICE in the process now, than it did before.
The other thing is KO's idea of "taking down" Glenn Beck. There has already been some energy behind getting vendors to stop advertising on his weird shill show. It's not enough, but it's a step.
However, Van Jones was subsequently screwed out of his appointment in Obama's admin, and Van was a big push behind getting the vendors to stop advertising on Beck's nutso show.
So, the push isn't simple or easy or a one-time deal, but requires a concerted and ONGOING effort from all concerned.
Clearly, though, I think blogging works, esp if it educates some who may not have access to the info otherwise.
I have noted some folks commenting in these threads that they found this site useful and educational.
Well: good. And keep up the good work to all who have the time to shine a light on the TRUTH here. I think it is important, valuable and a good use of our time.
PS The media is mainly ALL owned by big corporations who have a very vested interest in maintaining the status quo for THEMSELVES. Be aware of that, too.
Even NPR has been forced to the "dark" side by corporate interests and the GOP congress under W. I hardly listen to it anymore bc it is so biased to the right and such a shill for the GOP (witness that NPR mainly & almost solely focused on the shrieking bullying contard mobs at town halls and rarely ever gave more than a passing mention to the many town halls where reason & sanity prevailed. It was disgusting).
So, don't expect the media to be of much use in this fight (and fight it is). We are very lucky that MSNBC exists and provides a platform for KO, RM, Ed Schulz, and yes, even (sometimes) Chris Matthews. Thank gawd for this one, small outlet, and may it forever be profitable.
The Wall St Journal was always very partisan and rightwing, but it did used to report on business news in a somewhat factual way (you had to read between the lines, but the info was there). Since the pirate Murdoch bought, it has gone to being a hack rag with little bearing on reality (and w/Bible Spice, gag, no less, allegedly "writing" opinion pieces).
Rupert purchased this for one reason only: to further legitmize the shit he peddles as shinola on Faux.
