VANCOUVER, BC – Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT / NASDAQ:WPRT), a global leader in alternative fuel, low-emissions transportation technologies, today announced that Heckmann Corporation, a water solutions company focused on water issues worldwide and, in particular, oil and natural gas exploration and production, is teaming up with Encana Natural Gas Inc., a subsidiary of Encana Corporation, Westport and Peterbilt Motors Company, a division of PACCAR Inc to transition its truck fleet from traditional diesel vehicles to natural gas vehicles (NGVs). Under the terms of the agreement, Encana will make fueling services available where Heckmann Water Resources (HWR) operates its fleet of water transportation vehicles. HWR will use the trucks to service its customer's natural gas wells and provide water handling services in conjunction with its system of pipelines and disposal wells.
HWR has issued a purchase order for 200 Peterbilt 367 liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks incorporating Westport Heavy Duty Systems (Westport HD), from Westport. Although the purchase price of NGVs is higher than diesel trucks, the significantly reduced life cycle operating cost of NGVs is conducive to operating the heavy-duty trucks on natural gas. Additionally, because of cleaner combustion, the average operating life of NGVs is considerably longer.
"This is the first LNG truck order by a natural gas industry service provider," said David Demers, CEO of Westport Innovations. "HWR and Encana are leading the way to leverage the clean, abundant, and domestically available natural gas. The fuel is inexpensive relative to diesel and its availability for this application makes an economic win-win for both HWR and Encana as well as the significant environmental benefits including up to 30% lower greenhouse gas emissions."
When liquefied natural gas is deployed in upstream natural gas operations critical infrastructure is created and additional market demand for natural gas is stimulated in fleet transportation, including light-duty commercial fleets and other heavy-duty off-road operations, as well as natural gas drilling rigs, pressure pumping services and freight transportation. Beyond the natural gas sector, momentum also builds for increased natural gas use in other sectors, such as mining and construction, and the cumulative benefits of expanded natural gas use results in multiple economic and environmental benefits for society.
Richard J. Heckmann, Chairman and CEO of Heckmann Corporation, stated: "We are proud to be the first oil and natural gas services provider to offer LNG trucks to our clients and to operate the largest fleet of LNG trucks in North America. Natural gas combustion produces up to 30% less greenhouse gases resulting in a much lower carbon footprint per vehicle, and domestic natural gas will provide us with a significant cost savings over the life of the vehicles.
"There are abundant natural gas resources here in our own country, produced by our own citizens," Mr. Heckmann continued. "Programs like the one we have established with Encana are critical in bringing attention to the phenomenal opportunity available in the U.S. to rid our nation of the foreign oil tax. With Encana, we will do our part by converting our fleet to NGVs, and we encourage all companies to identify solutions that will eliminate our country's dependence on oil imported from the Middle East."
"We are very pleased to be part of an innovative North American solution to expand the use of liquefied natural gas in large-freight vehicles in the U.S. This initiative is a major step towards encouraging many companies servicing the energy industry to convert vehicles to run on affordable, environmentally-responsible LNG or compressed natural gas (CNG)," said Eric Marsh, Executive Vice-President, Encana Corporation & Senior Vice-President, USA Division.
The Westport HD System consists of a 15-litre HD engine, incorporating proprietary Westport fuel injectors, LNG fuel tanks with integrated cryogenic fuel pumps, and associated electronic components to facilitate robust performance and reliable operation. The Westport HD engine is certified and compliant to 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board emission standards in North America.
Heckmann Corporation was created to buy and build companies in the water sector. In 2011, the Company continued the acquisition of additional disposal assets including expansion into the Eagle Ford Shale area in south Texas. In early 2010, the Company completed its 50-mile water disposal pipeline in the Haynesville Shale, and began expanding the line in 2011 to handle additional produced water and fresh water transportation. In February 2010, the Company announced its joint venture with Energy Transfer Partners to provide turnkey pipeline transportation solutions for complex water flows in the Marcellus and Haynesville oil and natural gas fields. The acquisition of an oilfield produced water disposal and transport company in November 2010, recently renamed Heckmann Water Resources, makes the Company one of the largest handlers of produced water in North America. www.heckmanncorp.com

People who made news last fortnight -
His father Franklin Loufrani, a journalist with French daily France Soir, created the Smiley logo in 1971 with the intention of spreading positive thinking and happiness. Though he did license the logo to a few brands, making money was never a major priority for him. But ever since Nicolas Loufrani took over the $167 million Smiley Company in 1996, his vision clearly has been to grow the franchise globally. Not only did he get more aggressive at licensing, he also launched a host of Smiley merchandise, which was sold through various lifestyle stores. The Smiley products range from apparel, footwear and jewellery to cookies and chocolates. The junior Loufrani, who was in Mumbai recently to scout for Indian partners, has also developed various emotional representations of the Smiley logo, which he licenses to various brands. "We have 20 categories of the Smiley logo," he said. This was his first visit to India, which has half-a-million out of Smiley's 4.5 million Facebook followers. "India has always been on the top of my mind and I am finally here," he added.

When Daniel Yergin speaks, people in the energy sector listen. The Pulitzer Prize-winning American author is an authority on energy security. He was in Delhi recently where Prime Minister Manmohan Singh conferred a lifetime achievement award on him at the PetroTECH energy conference organised with the backing of the Petroleum Ministry. Yergin believes that it is not sustainable for an economy like India's to continue importing 78 per cent of its oil needs. "Too much dependence on fuel imports makes economies venerable," he said. India had done well to link its gas prices to international market prices, he added, but ideally the market, and not the government, should determine commodity prices. "India has already corrected its gas prices, but it has to reform other areas to attract more foreign investment," said Yergin, also the Vice Chairman at IHS, a global consultancy dealing with energy and allied sector.

Having spent close to two decades with the Reliance Group, Jayarama P. Chalasani has now moved on to Gurgaon-based infrastructure giant Punj Lloyd as its Group CEO. He will be responsible for the group's entire value chain - from the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) business to infrastructure to equipment manufacturing. Punj Llyod generates 80 per cent of its revenues from 22 countries across the Asia-Pacific, West Asia and Europe. Having joined Reliance from NTPC Ltd, Chalasani was a vital part of Reliance Energy (now Reliance Infrastructure) and later Reliance Power. A native of Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, the soft-spoken Chalasani is widely considered a shrewd executive, who played a vital role in Reliance Power's bids for three ultra mega power plants.

Its population of seven million is a tad below that of Bangalore's, but Hong Kong's per capita income is one of the highest globally. A haven for entrepreneurs, it is a place where it just takes about an hour to register a business. So, when Simon Galpin, Director-General of Investment Promotion at Invest Hong Kong (InvestHK), visited India in January, his goal was to connect start-up hubs between the two. Hong Kong is also a hot base for start-ups. "In the last three years, we have seen the number of start-ups that our department supports, grow by 60 per cent. The number of entrepreneurs applying for visas to start their own businesses has grown by 59 per cent. The single largest group seeking those visas is Indian," said Galpin. And despite attracting the third-highest FDI after the US and China, Hong Kong is hungry for more because, as Galpin says: "We need to stay competitive."

At Golden Hills Pest Control we have professional expertise when it comes to rodent control. This applies to rats and mice that may have made a home in your home or business, placing you at the risk of an infestation. We start with an in-depth inspection of your property, specifically looking for signs of a nest, rodent droppings, contaminated food and potential entry points in the home. Once we have determined that you have a rodent issue and need rodent control, we will recommend a course of action to eliminate the problem and potentially prevent future rodent infestations. Our rodent control inspection will also allow us to determine if you will need one time rodent control or a periodic series.
How to tell if you need Rodent Control
1) You see a rat or mouse scurrying along the walls.
Rodents do their best to stay hidden. They are very active at night and will scour your home or business looking for food and materials for nesting. They do all they can to hide from people so when you see a rat or mouse running along the walls, there is a good chance that you are on your way to a rodent infestation and need rodent control.
2)You notice droppings and urine stains near food and water source, like the panty or behind the refrigerator.
Rodent droppings are usually discovered in places around the home where rats or mice are nesting and breeding. Dropping may also be found inside drawers, cupboards, and cardboard boxes. Urine stains are easier to spot on woodwork and baseboards. If you have carpets in the home, urine stains can be nearly impossible to see. This makes them an even greater threat to you and your family who may be playing on the carpet. Rats can produce up to 40 dark brown, spindle-shaped droppings a night. Droppings measure 1/2" – 3/4″ long and look like a large grain of rice with blunt ends. A house mouse's black droppings are smaller, about 1/8" – 1/4″ long, with pointed ends.
Never disturb rodent droppings when you see it. Call a professional.. Rodent droppings are dangerous and are better handled with gloves . Don't sweep or vacuum areas where rodent droppings are found. Pick up droppings carefully, and place them in plastic bags for disposal.
4) Rodent Nests
This can be the worst case scenario. Rodents rapidly build their nests from shredded cloth, fabric, paper, or cardboard in warm, secluded places close to food and water. Check behind and under your kitchen, garage, basement, and attic. If you see signs of a nest, contact us immediately.
5) You notice damage to the home or business structure
Rodents are constantly gnawing, eating and chewing on materials in the home. Rodents are known to chew through electrical wires and can expose the home to a fire hazard. You may discover jagged, large, visible rat teeth marks in ripped food packages, on door casings, around pipes, or in holes left on your floorboards and walls. The longer rodents are allowed to be in the home or business, the more time they have to cause serious damage.
6) You hear noises in the attics and walls
A home without rodents has some noises, however you can tell when rats and mice are moving through the home inside the walls and in the attic. Rats and mice are very agile climbers who can jump about a foot high and fit through an opening the size of a dime. You, or your family pets, might hear them scuffling and scratching inside your walls at night, or scurrying across your roof. Do not ignore it. Contact us immediately for an inspection.
If you suspect that you may have a rodent infestation, contact Golden Hills Pest Control Today. Call us at (916) 333-3738.

On September 5th of 2019, instead of heading into the new school year as I have been the past 8 years as a special education teacher, I'll be on my way to the Middle East to support a family who is in desperate need of a homeschool teacher.
This family has been serving God for 14 years in this specific region, but around two years ago, they found out that their youngest child was dealing with severe emotional issues, eventually being diagnosed with an emotional disability.
As a special education teacher, I've worked with multiple families and students with emotional disabilities, and know how much families need people to come side-by-side with them. That's why going to the aid of this family, who prayed for someone to help, is an honor and privilege. In many ways, I feel like God prepared me for this very mission in advance, years before I even knew about this family or opportunity.
I was born the youngest of two, to a Hispanic family of mixed nationalities; my mom being from Argentina and my dad from El Salvador. Growing up, God wasn't a main character in my life. Don't get me wrong, my family believed that God existed, but we never made decisions thinking about God or what He wanted. Looking back, this would have probably helped my family a lot. Back then, my family was an ugly mess. My sister had become a teen mom at the age of 16, my parents got divorced when I was 15 years old, and I was a very angry, resentful, know-it-all sister/daughter. I often asked God why He gave me the family He did, and if by any chance He could have someone save me from the mess that was my life.
I wouldn't quite get His response until my freshman year at the University of Maryland (UMD).
The fall of freshman year, I met a Korean missionary who asked me to start studying the Bible, and it took me about 9 months before I came to truly believe that what the Bible said was true. That the son of God, Jesus Christ, came to this world to save me from my sins, and that as I opened my heart and life to Him, He would become my Savior, my Lord, my Best Friend, my Intercessor, my Counselor, my Everything. You get the point. Why was this important? Because it so happened that a year later, 20 year-old-me found herself trying to figure out what she wanted to be when she grew up.
Up to that point, I thought I was going to be a mechanical engineer, but calculus class took me out of the running. I tried to do computer programming, but found out really quickly that my brain wasn't cut out for it – no way. So I found myself with no idea what career path to take, but I needed to know by the end of my sophomore year because UMD was making me. When I say I had no clue, I literally mean, I had no clue. Yet, around that time I heard an interesting story about a missionary who had chosen her mission field by grabbing an atlas globe, praying over it, and letting God decide where she was going by twirling the globe and going wherever her finger landed. After I heard that story, an idea came into my head. I decided to do the same thing with my career, except instead of using a globe, I would use pieces of paper with all sorts of careers written on them. So I looked up careers and started to write them out, and I even put 'other' just in case I missed one. I remember that day: I fasted and prayed, telling God that I would do whatever He chose for me to do; that I had no clue, so He could choose.
I took a deep breath, shook the hat I had used to put in the pieces of paper, and picked up one from the pile. When I unfolded it, it said, 'special education teacher.' I remember pausing for a second because I didn't really know what a special education teacher was (remember, I chose these careers randomly).
So I did what anyone else would do, I folded it back up and put it back into the pile.
Again, I picked up one, unfolded it, and it said, 'special education teacher.'
At that point, I said okay to God. The next day, I went to the Education building at UMD and changed my major to Special Education.
Fast forward 12 years: I ended up getting my Master's in Special Education, I've taught for eight years, and now I'm leaving to a land that I've never been to in order to use my professional skills to support a family I have never met, but who prayed for someone to go and help them out. If anything, this proves that God is answering prayers long before we even know we will make them.
As I share this with you, my hope is that this would encourage you in some way. I don't regret having allowed God into my life because He healed my wounds and taught me to love my family way before I saw what He could do in their lives. I don't regret having allowed Him to choose my career path because I love what I do and that tells me He knew me better than I knew myself. And now, I'm sure that I will not regret having let Him lead me to take off a year from work to go support this family; I trust Him.

We're pleased to present the "Wish You Were Here" series of mini online exhibitions. In lieu of being with us at our studio and gallery during our closure, we're bringing more Art Enables to you at home. Each themed collection features work by three of Art Enables talented resident artists, and 100% of sale proceeds from this affordably-priced work will go directly to our artists during this closure.
The artists in this week's "Wish You Were Here" online exhibition – Keith Lewis, Jamila Rahimi, and Chris Schallhorn – offer images of bright geometry. Colorful shapes crowd together, stacking and shuffling, and yet all seem held in place: the press of their forms secures them within confined spaces; and black lines join and buttress, feigning the look of stained glass. Together, the works are in turn mathematical and intuitive, highlighting each artist's particular approach to building compositions with a focus on similar elements.
Keith is a quiet and focused presence in the studio. He works with precise and delicate strokes and never rushes a piece. He frequently incorporates flowers, cosmic-like objects, and geometric shapes into his work (sometimes all at once). His work can be both abstract and hyper-realistic, and he moves between the two effortlessly. See more of his work here.

"Oh, I almost didn't even recognize you," they tell me. "Wow, something new again," they go on. "Can I touch it?" they persist. It depends on the person whether I say yes or no, but it doesn't matter because I can feel their hand on my head anyway.
My creativity has never been stifled when it comes to the way I wear what people recognize me the most by: my hair. Whether it's in braids, twists, an afro, dyed, buzz cut, twisted out, a wash n' go, covered with a scarf — my hair is always gaining attention. But who knew such attention would leave room for so much internal deliberation?
While some may argue that it's "just hair" and I should neither spend as much time as I do on it nor be offended by the way people approach me about it, there is no way I can do that. As a Black woman, taking into consideration the approach Eurocentric media has taken towards the way we Black women wear our hair, it's of course so much more than that to me. I take pride in it, and I think the creative approach I have towards it shows just that.
Doing what I do with my hair is fun, but what comes with it are several interactions that can be deemed disrespectful. Let's refer back to the rude entitlement some people feel when assuming my hair is up for grabs before I can even fix my mouth to reply. This could easily be a deterrence to wanting to try different things, but luckily I don't see it as one.
Aside from how anyone else perceives my hair, there is a self-inflicted pressure to find the next thing I'm going to latch onto. This, of course, is never influenced by onlookers anticipating what my next move is. It has more to do with me and how I literally incorporate how my hairstyle will be for the next day as a routine part of my schedule. If my hair isn't at its best, neither am I.
I know for certain the environment I'm in has a huge effect on the amount of attention and the type of attention I get from my hairstyles. Back home in Birmingham, I'm surrounded by Black people almost 100 percent of the time. The attention I get there has more to do with how eccentric my hair is styled, rather than my hair itself –– as far as hair types and style go. No one is asking me why it's so curly or how just yesterday I had long twists flowing down my back but today the auburn of my fro is present.
Here on campus, the demographic is very different. I've come in contact with people who had never even seen a hair type like mine before they became students at Denison. Don't get me wrong. I'm more than open to answer questions about my hair. However, that's only to the extent of actual curiosity based on the want to know more, rather than inquisition based on labelling my hair as "bizarre" (this has happened) or "exotic" (this has also happened). Even words like "interesting" are a borderline no-no for me.
All in all, the experience I have with trying new styles out as well as the way people receive my way of being creative has been such a positive for me. It has helped me to be more conscious of the ways I go about being my own person. I get excited to think about how I'm going to wear my hair the next day, or even further along in the future for a special occasion. And, let's face it: what good is the variation of lipstick shades I have if they don't have a variation of hairstyles to go with them?

Foofy-and-oh-so-fancy gift wrap ideas.
It was a perfect Autumn day here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and there was plenty of hot cider, cocoa with all the fixings, and lots of yummy baked goods, including some delicious pumpkin bread, and cookies made from cake mix. (Have you had them? I will have to get the recipe from my daughter and share it...so good!)
We even got to dip apples in warm caramel sauce, and then each guest was given a can to take home as a party favor!
I like to wrap my gifts for the most part in brown paper, but I had lots of glittery boxes, bags, ribbons, and doo-dads to sparkle things up. The deep silver glitter has such a vintage feel to me. It reminds me of the old German Glass Glitter, you know?
By adding a simple adornment like an inexpensive Christmas decoration, a gift goes from ordinary to fabulous. I shared my favorite trick for wrapping wine bottles...simply wrap it by gathering up mylar tissue paper with a length of ribbon, add a little ornament, and then spray the top area of the gathered mylar with spray glue, and sprinkle mylar confetti (pearlecent or silver glitter confetti work nicely also!)See? It looks like it was meant for a party.
The same technique works well on the little take-out style boxes sold at craft stores...(so great for concealing a gift card!)
A bit of tulle, some snippets of ribbon, and a little mylar shred make all the difference..
(I have to admit that I quite enjoy wrapping presents far more than I like shopping for them, fighting the crowds, and trying to find that elusive perfect present.)
Everyone had a wonderful time at the party and I think they all were more than a little inspired to get home and start assembling their wrapping supplies.
I am thankful for time spent with friends, laughing and sharing ideas...and I guess I have to say that I am thankful for glitter.

Very pretty! I too love to wrap. Is the caramel in a can the milk that gets boiled while still in the unopened can?ReplyDelete
I had that as a kid and remember how good it was. But, now I hear the can can explode like a bomb if just a little to much of the water boils away. Scary.
Beautiful packages. A cute idea for wine bottles/coffee syrup bottles is a teeny winter scarf. Little Birdie Secrets blog shares her pattern. It takes about 5 minutes to crochet it.ReplyDelete
Great packages! This is a great post....reminds me of the inspiring ones you did on cookies and cupcakes. Tracey you have such a creative gift, a way of making everything special. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

So pretty! And you get extra points for working with glitter (I am not a fan. I like the way it looks, but then it gets everywhere!)ReplyDelete
I love wrapping too...sooooooo much better than shopping!! Beautiful ideas....thanks.ReplyDelete
So very pretty! I love the idea about adding the ornament and the glitter...so simple! The party pics look so fun, now I want to throw one too...ReplyDelete
You have the BEST ideas for packaging, etc..I hope you don't mind but did you notice you spelled caramel incorrectly on the cans? I'm a bit anal at times so please don't be offended okay? I'm sure most people would not even notice..ReplyDelete

Hi I just wanted to let you know that I tried one of your sewing crafts recently. I made some drapes out of painter's drop cloth and they turned out great. I covered my sliding glass door with them. It actually took two pkg's of them to get the right fullness. Thanks so much for the idea.ReplyDelete

What would be a good grease for higher wear locations on all three guns? Or am I over thinking this because the Extreme Duty product won't need the grease in spots?

Burning Sun reporter Oh HyukJin, is currently the most searched topic in South Korea.
Netizens are currently in fear for his safety as they believe his life may be in danger for digging too deep in to the scandals surrounding club Burning Sun. Mr. Oh posted a message to netizens through his Instagram account, assuring everyone that he is safe and that a scenario of him being murdered and having it staged as a suicide or an accident won't happen.
However, his Instagram account was recently switched to a private account and his original post assuring netizens has been deleted.
But what is even more suspicious at the moment is the fact that Noh SeungIl, the chief editor and journalist who played a big part in exposing the Choi SoonSil scandal, is also silent at the moment as well. Mr. Oh assured netizens that Noh SeungIl is the man who will be watching over him while aiding him in the investigations in to Burning Sun. However, Mr. Noh's home in Gwangju was burned down recently.
The fact that these two journalists are going deep in to dangerous territories to uncover the truth naturally has netizens worried for their lives.

Entertainment Weekly
Two new stills have arrived in promotion of Warner Bros.' Prisoners, and they spotlight stars Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. If those two were in my flick, yeah, I'd be showing 'em off too! Dig it!
The flick, directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Aaron Guzikowski, stars Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo, and David Dastmalchian. Warner Bros. has set a September 20th, 2013, release date.
How far would you go to protect your child? Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent's worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend Joy; and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect's release. Knowing his child's life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, he may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?

Grade: B-
This was a great movie for kids. It was not scary in the least but there was a vast array of monsters to tickle their imagination.
As for the adults, it dragged a bit. The last twenty or so minutes were very entertaining. There is something about watching animated monsters and animals dance that amuses me greatly.
The World's Most Indispensable Movie App
Read more about the RunPee app.
We watched it in 3-D and weren't terribly impressed with the effects. It just gave the characters more dimension and nothing really jumped out at you.
I recommend looking at the list of cast members before you go. It makes the movie more enjoyable when your not sitting there thinking, "Who is that?"
The cast was great. There were a lot of notable actors/actresses that did a top notch job.
Don't miss your favorite movie moments because you have to pee or need a snack. Use the RunPee app (Android or iPhone ) whenever you go to the movies. We have Peetimes for all new wide release films every week, now including Tenet, The New Mutants, Palm Springs, and more. We have literally thousands of Peetimes from classic movies through today. You can also keep up with movie news and reviews on our blog or by following us on @RunPee@RunPee, and liking us on Facebook.
RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she's happy to see, since most of us don't have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you've used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.

My aim is to educate the entrepreneurs and managers of tomorrow and prepare them to make strategic decisions in an increasingly complex market and non-market environment. I believe in interactive hands-on learning and fostering the students' critical thinking through analysis of real life cases and engaging class discussions. I envision helping students reflect on their strategic choices and the potential impact of their actions on their business, industry, society and the environment.
I have taught subjects incuding globalization, strategic management, team leading, CSR and business ethics at undergraduate and graduate levels.
As facilitator of climateinteractive, I also run simulations of global climate negotations. Climateinteractive is a non-profit organization offering simulations that are rooted in MIT Sloan School of Management's system dynamic simulation modeling to push people to take action on climate change. For more info visit https://www.climateinteractive.org/.
At ESSEC, I developed a multi-media case study on BlaBlaCar entitled "Innovation at BlaBlaCar: Creating a community for ridesharing". This case study features the challenges and strategic choices of a start-up in the sharing economy envisioning sustainable development by catering to the 3 P's – people, planet, profit. It offers an A-case which dates from 2011 and describes the start-up's early beginnings and the challenges of creating a business model, organizing for innovation and developing a company culture that all reflect the founder's vision. The B-case updates the company's fast international development in 2014 and the new challenges that come with the successful growth of a startup. It allows for informed discussion on the strategic choices that were made by the company and why they failed or succeeded.

Damian McGrath deserves better
Dear Editor,
Prime Minister Tuilaepa and the C.E.O of the Rugby Union sure have short-term memories! They forgot they hired some people before, let them go and then rehired them again.
Did they forget that "S.R.U has guidelines to follow when it comes to the assessment of the coach's performance."
I sure hope S.R.U will pay the price for their dishonesty and unprofessional treatment of Damien McGrath.
These two 'independent panels' are still not telling the truth.
They think everybody agrees with what they had done which in fact the boys that represented Samoa on the field are sad about these two men's selfish, arrogant and ignorant decisions. These decisions don't make sense.
Who are the 'professors the P.M. mentioned' dealing with the applicants?
Those professors have probably never played rugby before.
McGrath's term was not even half way through, not even a year. Why did you try and reach McGrath? Of course McGrath is not sitting around and waiting for their garbage to come through. He has a family to raise. He has a passion to coach.
He wanted to coach Samoa. He was dismissed.
He is a capable coach and we are witnesses to what he could do.
No doubt he will be hired by those who will appreciate him, his family, his knowledge and especially his love for the boys that represent their country.
Him and his family have been affected by these selfish acts by the S.R.U corruption.
I sure hope the lawyers come through and have the S.R.U pay for the remainder of coach's contract; too bad more money from the people and the corruption will continue.
Go ahead and good luck finding a coach that will try to do his job and these men are going to be all over them.
All you coaches out there who are trying to apply for Samoa 7s coaching job; take note of what P.M. Tuilaepa and his puppet chairman have said about future coaches.
"Once they do not achieve the goals set for them, the axe falls on them."
It is all about results; ok?
Does that tone sound like that of a Dictator?
You don't win games they will treat you just like what they did to coach McGrath. Heartless and no compassion for those who are helping develop and strengthen sports in our country!

The owner lost two dogs (with no tags or chips), but only wants one of them back? How much did she really want these two in the first place? She lost them with no collars and no chips. These two are lucky Whiskerville found them and took them in responsibly. They are now spayed, chipped, and have their shots and will hopefully go to a better home than it sounds like they had before.
Lost Houston Dogs Cannot Be Claimed By Owner – Please Microchip Your Pets
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/consumer&id=7580298 the link also shows the video clip on the news
TEXAS CITY, TX (KTRK) — Losing a pet can be a traumatic experience, but one Houston woman says after her dogs turned up at a rescue facility things did not get any better.
The facility is not giving the dogs back to the owner, and even adopted one of the animals to someone else. The dogs got out of a back yard on July 2. Two weeks later the owner found them on the Internet, but the rescue shelter that has the dogs is not giving them back.
When Daisy Garza's German Shepherds escaped from her back yard she says she looked everywhere for them. "Put ads online, Facebook, SPCA, Pet Harbor, the Green Sheet as well," she said.
After two weeks, Garza says she managed to locate Nikki and Zeus on a lost pet web site and learned they were at Whiskerville Animal Sanctuary in Texas City. So Garza called the facility.
Garza said, "She said that due to her having them way too long she could not give them to just someone who claimed she lost a dog.")) Garza says she then went to Whiskerville with a Texas City police officer in tow to get her dogs back.
She said, "I offered to pay the adoption fee, any housing fee, for the vaccinations and whatnot and she refused. She told us to leave her place."
Garza says because she already has two other dogs, she could not adopt both her German Shepherds back, so she applied to adopt Zeus, the German Shepherd Garza has had for four years.
We called the owner of Whiskerville Pet Sanctuary and asked why the dogs could not be returned to Garza. Owner Wydell Dixon said the lost dogs had no tags and no way to track down the owner. Whiskerville's owner also says she spayed one of the German Shepherds and got shots for the dogs. She says the $325 per dog adoption fee stands. Dixon went on to say it is her decision alone on who to adopt a dog to.
KTRK Legal Analyst Joel Androphy said, "The problem here is that if you lose a dog and the shelter picks up a dog, it is the identification of the dog to begin with."
Androphy says because the dogs did not have collars when they were found, they are considered strays.
"If they are strays, we'll take care of them, they are not destroying the strays," Androphy said. "They are taking care of them, putting them up for adoption so they are doing the humane thing."
A note about the German Shepherds in this story — one has been adopted out, another is close to being adopted.
We talked to state officials about this situation, and they say there are no state laws that apply to giving back a dog to someone if the identification is in doubt. Shelters do have to comply with state laws, but there are no state licenses for them. If the dog has a tag or a tracking chip, you can prove ownership. Without those tags, we are told it becomes a civil matter and the courts will have to decide
4 Responses to Lost Houston Dogs Cannot Be Claimed By Owner – Please Microchip Your Pets
I agree with Balexa. The dogs could have easily been killed by a car or picked up by Animal Control. Because Animal Control is so very overloaded they will only hold them for the required minimal time before they euthanize them. They cannot hold on to dogs/cats forever because there are so many dogs/cats coming in every day. These dogs were so very lucky to even be accepted into Whiskerville and to be completely vetted so they could be adopted. Vetting one dog costs lots of money. Dogs should be kept inside while no one is home in this heat.
My name is Wydell Dixon and I run Whiskerville Animal Sanctuary. I see that KTRK (as well as Daisy Garza) has put words in my mouth, not to mention KTRK has a biased and unprofessional news team.
I have learned so much from this unfortunate experience and am deeply saddened that Channel 13 News and Daisy Garza may have just sewed up my decision to limit our help to the cats in our care. Had it not been for Whiskerville, these two dogs would most likely be dead due to their "bereaved owner" leaving them in a backyard in the extreme heat. Seems like someone would ask her how her dogs traveled from her home on the EAST side of Beltway 8 & I45 to the EAST side by Ellington in the first place!
KTRK's reporting is inaccurate as is Daisy Garza's "claim".
Quite frankly, my platter is full enough without having to care for irresponsible pet owner's dogs as well!
OOPS! That should be "the WEST side by Ellington"!

How to Build Raised Beds Into Hills for Gardening Vegetables
Hills need not deter the gardener from building raised beds for vegetable gardening. The instructions for building the raised bed are essentially the same as for doing so on flat land. Hills require additional preparation, including creating adequate drainage, before constructing the raised bed, also called a planter box. A sunny spot on the hill is ideal for raised bed vegetable gardening.
Dig into the hillside where you intend to build the raised bed. Dig out a 3-by-3 foot flat floor. Dig less into the hill at the lower base, and more into the hill at the higher elevation. Use your level on the floor to determine that it is flat.
Measure the width of the highest wall, which will be in the hill at the back of the flat area. The boards you use to build the bed must be at least this wide and high. For example, If you have 2-by-12-inch boards and the wall is 18 inches high, you will need additional 2-by-6-inch boards of the same length as the 2-by-12-inch boards.
Lay weed block down on the 3-by-3-foot flat area.
Set a 3-foot-long board up on its side and about half an inch in front of the high wall. Lay the two shorter boards perpendicular to the 3-foot board at either end, making corners. Attach a corner brace at the top of each corner; do not screw them in all of the way. Lay the last 3-foot-long board at the open end to make a rectangle. Attach corner braces to these new two corners at the top of each corner. Leave the screws loose.
Adjust the four boards, if needed, so they are lying even on the ground and the corners fit. Attach a corner brace to the bottom of each corner, and tighten the screws at the top of each corner brace.
Place an additional 3-foot board on top of the one 3-foot long board on the ground, if necessary to make the raised-bed box taller. This is step is optional. Attach the top board to the bottom board with a straight mending brace in the middle of the boards. Do this for each side of the box. Drill two more corner braces to each of the four corners.
Pour pea gravel into the raised bed box an inch deep. Pour pea gravel between the side of the hill and the box. This is to aid with drainage. The wood will rot more quickly if it sits directly against the dirt in the hill.
Dig a small trench, about 2 inches deep, at each back corner of the box down to the bottom of the hill. Fill in the trench with pea gravel to help with drainage. Your raised bed in the hill is ready for soil.
Things Needed
- Shovel
- Measuring tape
- Level
- 2 3-foot-long 2-by-12 inch boards
- 2 2-foot-long 2-by-12 inch boards
- Extra boards as needed, optional
- 8 corner braces, or more as needed for extra height
- Straight mending braces, optional
- Drill
- Pea stones
- Weed block
- Choose a sunny spot on the hill facing south, if possible. Most vegetables benefit from full sun.
- Change the dimensions of the raised bed to suit your needs.

"Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves"
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have a confession . I unfortunately as a lawyer purvey in the exact opposite .Trying to place some responsibility on others be it a driver , an employer or third party for the ills of my client.That is my job and there is a sea of grey in between the black and white of truth .
However there comes a time when I have to advise that it is no other persons fault or there is no fault just fate , pure mischance, an accident.
Similarly the latest financial and economic turmoil does have culprits who must take responsibility or blame ( if they are ever called to account). Loosely it is the financial institutions in the US who packaged toxic products and misled the millions of institutions and individual clients/customers.The clients themselves for not making the necessary enquiries and trusting the advice they received.Many themselves were retirees and individuals who were not in a position to read the voluminous prospectus and even if they did they probably would not understand what they were purchasing. The whole chain of free market economics where people were misled with valuations and the whole economic dream that you can get something from nothing.Valuations were always going to increase and no equity was necessary. If it is too good to be true then it is. The financial crisis in USA can also be squarely pointed at the liberal conservative view of market economics will sort itself out.Without regulation the market will always find the lowest common denominator which is always a recipe for a mess.So governments do have a responsibility to safeguard their citizens.
Buffett once said he never bought into a company he did not understand . Meaning he knew what they made or sold. He did not understand the Internet so never invested in the start up companies on the Internet. Similarly ,most people do not spend the time and energy looking at their finances and understanding them. In Australia, the majority of workers who have a superannuation fund do not take the responsibility to understand what their fund is doing.
I came across an interesting piece on the SMH titled , If you don't care about your investments , noone will
The bottom line is that you cannot avoid responsibility for your own financial affairs. You have to be involved because, as any financial professional will tell you, ''If you don't care, no one will.''

Like all things in life a hard lesson to learn .In my training , I can lean on a Coach and I can get all the advice in the world but what I make of that advise , what I do each day , how I train and apply myself are all decisions I make.As they say the buck stops with me.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida's leading oil and gas lobbyist is brushing up on electronic cigarettes and vaping.
David Mica, executive director of the Florida Petroleum Council, called it "surreal" and "bizarre" to watch the Florida Constitution Revision Commission this week overwhelmingly approve a proposed constitutional amendment that would combine a ban on nearshore oil and gas drilling with a ban on vaping and electronic cigarettes in workplaces.
With the commission's approval, the proposed constitutional amendment will go before voters during the Nov. 6 general election.
"It just doesn't make sense that they should be linked together," Mica said. "You should be able to make decisions about your public health and your economic viability separately."
The proposal, which is expected to appear on the ballot as Amendment 9, was one of eight measures -- covering 20 different issues -- the commission approved on Monday for the November election.
The Legislature had also previously approved three proposals to go before voters, while two other measures --- dealing with future expansions of gambling and restoring voting rights of felons who have served their sentences --- have reached the ballot through petition drives. That makes a total of 13 proposed constitutional amendments voters will decide.
The commission meets every 20 years to review the state Constitution and propose changes.
Six of the commission's proposals that advanced to the ballot Monday bundle two or three topics, such as the amendment tying together drilling and vaping. Two of the amendments are standalone measures, including one that would ban greyhound racing in the state.
Mica contends mixing the proposed vaping ban with the proposed drilling ban, is part of a "logrolling" effort.
"We've become victimized by something that's maybe more unpopular," Mica said of polling he's seen on e-cigarettes. "I don't think that is what the originators of the Constitution Revision Commission had in mind."
The proposal seeks to add "vapor generating electronic devices" to a 2002 voter-approved constitutional amendment that banned smoking tobacco in workplaces, including gathering spots such as restaurants.
The drilling portion of the amendment would put in the Constitution a ban on Florida granting leases to drill for oil or natural gas in state-controlled coastal waters
The drilling measure comes as Florida officials, including Gov. Rick Scott, have opposed plans by President Donald Trump's administration to allow oil and gas drilling in federal waters beyond the nation's outer continental shelf --- a jurisdictional term describing submerged lands 10.36 statutory miles off Florida's West Coast and three nautical miles off the East Coast.
The proposed amendment on drilling and vaping passed the commission Monday with little discussion.
Commissioner Brecht Heuchan, chairman of the commission's Style and Drafting Committee, said the drilling and vaping issues were linked because the sponsors of the different proposals worked together with a moniker of "clean air, clean water."
State law already includes a prohibition on offshore oil and gas drilling. But putting a ban in the Constitution would make it more permanent and harder to change in the future.
"We'll stand on our merits of Floridians being interested in American energy production, creating more energy and more jobs, with the knowledge that the Legislature has already acted on this for the foreseeable future, and why wouldn't that be enough?" Mica said. "We just think it's a bad idea to do that (put it in the Constitution), and we think Floridians will agree."
Commission Chairman Carlos Beruff, one of 14 appointees of Gov. Rick Scott to the 37-member panel, said he was pleased with the outcome of the commission's work, including the proposed drilling ban.
"After months of in-depth research and debate, the CRC has narrowed down thousands of comments and ideas into eight final revisions for voter consideration," Beruff said in a prepared statement this week." From protecting our state and territorial waters from oil drilling to strengthening our ethics laws, I commend my fellow commissioners for their hard work and leadership representing the people of Florida."
It remains unclear whether voters will support the commission's work.
The 1978 Constitution Revision Commission failed to get any of its seven measures approved.
Twenty years later, commissioners took lessons from the 1978 group and were able to get voters to approve eight of nine proposals, including the creation of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and revamping the state Cabinet.
It has become harder, however, to pass constitutional amendments since the 1998 measures were on the ballot. Due to a subsequent change, constitutional amendments now require support from 60 percent of voters -- rather than majorities -- to pass.

It's really hard to debunk those old wives' tales or urban legends that seem to have more staying power than the truth.
Moms still tell kids that eating lots of carrots will improve their eyesight, a myth that started in World War II when the British spread rumours that eating the orange tubers gave their pilots better night vision. They were trying to hide the fact that the success of bombing raids against Nazi Germany was more likely attributable to the use of a new invention – radar.
Not sure if people are still afraid that they will get warts if they touch a toad, but that was pretty well regarded as gospel back in the day.
Even the world's wisest men have fallen for more than their share of fables, the bizarre pseudo-science of phrenology being a good example. The idea was that you could predict an individual's character traits by measuring different parts of their skull. (By this standard, Donald Trump would likely beat Albert Einstein in a game of chess.)
The sheer shelf-life of folklore makes it a favourite tool for those relentless curmudgeons who are always looking for ways to discredit or marginalize people who are different from them. Thus are born stereotypes of people – usually people of skin colours other than white – who are congenitally lazy, cowardly, miserly, unclean, or just plain dumb.
It's all about living in a world that has evolved in such a way that some people think they are innately superior to those who don't look like them, talk like them, dress like them, or think like them.
One of my favourite TV programs is "Ancient Aliens" in which a motley crew of would-be archeologists theorizes that Indigenous peoples like the Mayans were simply not smart enough to build the architectural marvels that fascinate pith-helmet scholars. It had to be the work of beings from another planet, from outer space.
Former Ontario premier Bob Rae admits to having encountered some of these myth-spinners as he travels around the province in his latest incarnation as a negotiator and advisor for First Nations that literally sit on tons of mineral resource wealth.
In a keynote address to an annual conference of Northern Ontario municipal politicos, Rae talked about his run-ins with developers who dislike the extent to which the courts are supporting the rights of Indigenous peoples to have a say in how resources on their traditional territories will be accessed.
"If we had the same kinds of rules and laws and regulations back in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, Sudbury would never have been built and Timmins would never have been developed," griped one disgruntled entrepreneur.
This is the same brand of redneck reasoning that argues Indians are inferior to whites because they never "invented" planes, trains and automobiles.
(If Indians had wanted to go anywhere, I'm pretty sure they would have eventually figured out a way. They "invented" things like canoes and snowshoes that saved countless settler lives, and were smelting copper and building pyramids at the same time Europeans were burning people at the stake for claiming the earth orbits the sun.)
Rae was a bit less blunt, telling his assailant "Well, certainly they would not have been developed in the same way. We might have polluted less. Fewer people would have died. That's for sure."
Bob's getting pretty smart in his old age.
He must be eating a lot of fish.

Enjoy a double half day tour in which you will be able to know the most emblematic and pictorial places of Madrid by routes on foot and in bus. In the afternoon, we will depart to Toledo, the city of the Three Cultures. You will visit the interiors of the church of Santo Tomé, the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca and the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes. The tour ends with a demonstration of the famous Damasquinados technique and a panoramic visit of the city
Madrid shows the multiple contrasts inherited through the History. You will be able to find the medieval origins of the city, like the Arabic fortress, at the Barrio de la Morería, characterized by the antiquity of its buildings and the taste of its typical restaurants. We will also cover the Hapsburg Madrid of Felipe II, with its Renaissance and Baroque buildings walking and making pictures on Calle Mayor, Plaza Mayor, and Plaza de la Villa.
Then, we will also see the Bourbon Madrid and the urban layout made by Carlos III, the Royal Palace, the Cibeles Fountain, Neptune Fountain and the Puerta de Alcalá. We will also visit the works from the kingdom of Joseph Bonaparte on the 19th century, such as Prado Museum.
We will get to know the contemporary Madrid on areas such as Gran Via, Paseo de la Castellana, Barrio Salamanca, Plaza de Castilla and Parque del Oeste, as well as the commercial and financial areas of Modern Madrid, like the emblematic Ventas Bullring or Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Discover the "City of the Three Cultures"! Located 70 km away from Madrid is Toledo, a beautiful city-museum declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is one of the oldest towns in Europe and has a great artistic beauty and buildings from almost all periods in history (Arabian, Gothic, Mudéjar, Renaissance and Baroque style). Toledo is called the "City of the Three Cultures", since Christians, Muslims and Jews lived together.
Outside view of the Cathedral; Church of St. Tomé with El Entierro del señor de Orgaz, masterpiece of El Greco; Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca and Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes; and panoramic sightseeing of Toledo.

I'm in the middle of the Carribbean, speaking on another one of those Geek Cruises. That's why I'm not blogging much this week.
Random notes:
* It's a Windows cruise, co-sponsored by PC World. About 80 people signed up for the cruise, about half of the number that sign up for the Mac-themed Geek Cruises. Wonder why?
* Internet is slow and expensive. It's all via satellite.
* There is so much world to see, and so little time to see it in!
