IN THESE POST-GIDDY Wall Street days, you can argue all you want about the goodness of greed, but there's no denying that greed is an equal opportunity vice. Case in point: Republicans and Democrats feed with equal zeal (and at the taxpayers' expense) at the trough of pork-barrel politics. Now the 2000 Congressional Pig Book Summary--not the catchiest of titles--by Citizens Against Government Waste, has all the sordid details in its annual report, which shows how representatives attach items to spending bills.
It chronicles $17.7 billion in government waste.
"No matter how you slice it, pork is always on the menu in Washington," notes CAGW President Thomas A. Schatz. "In fiscal 2000, Congress went whole hog, porking up the various spending bills with billions of dollars in worthless earmarks. Our elected representatives simply couldn't resist the lure of easy money, putting their partisan political interests above the best interest of taxpayers."
According to Schatz, Congress indulged itself at a record pace--eclipsing last year's totals by a whopping 47 percent (and you thought there was going to be a tax rebate in your future), 22 percent higher than the previous record set in 1997.
Indeed, with 365 pork-barrel items, you can skim one-a-day style through this pink pamphlet--and still take a day off to commemorate the leap year.
But Congress was not solely to blame for the outrageous pork-barrel feeding frenzy. "President Clinton was an enabler . . . ," Schatz notes. "When congressional leaders proposed cutting just one percent of the budget by eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, the White House said no."
Here are the Pig Book's top oinkers, recognizing "dogged perseverance in the mad pursuit of pork." Something to think about the next time you're stuck in gridlock traffic and wondering why the feds say they can't afford to fix the Bay Area's traffic mess:
The Piracy of the Potomac Award is given to Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., for procuring a $375 million amphibious-assault ship that the navy doesn't want, but that will benefit his constituents. (Not to be outdone, House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., snared $275 million for five F-15 fighter planes that the Pentagon didn't want.)
The Smell Test Award is shared by Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., and Rep. Stephen Buyer, R-Ind., for $1.75 million for animal waste research at the University of Missouri and Purdue University.
The Tracks of My Tears Award goes to Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., for $100,000 for Vidalia onion research.
The Bridge Over Troubled Waters Award goes to Sen. Ernest "Fritz" Hollings, D-S.C., for $1 million for the Limehouse Bridge, which is used by patrons of golf resorts on the exclusive Kiawah and Seabrook Islands.
The Who Wants to Be a Billionaire Award is delivered to Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, for using the other 49 states as his "porkline" while securing more than $1 billion in earmarks since 1991.
The Son of a Beach Award is shared by Reps. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., and Michael Forbes, D-N.Y., and a bipartisan group of members for adding $55 million in beach-renourishment projects.
The Jurassic Pork Award goes to Rep. Julian Dixon, D-Calif., for adding $1 million for a dinosaur exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History.
The What a Dam Waste Award is picked up by Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Texas, for $625,000 for Lake Waco, including a lighted hike and bike trail on top of Lake Waco Dam.
The Empire Strikes Back Award is issued to Rep. James Walsh, R-N.Y., for bringing home $41.7 million in VA/HUD bacon, including $450,000 to convert a former NYNEX building into a parking garage.
The Breaking Up Is Easy to Do Award goes to Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., for a $35 million plan that fails to consolidate Food and Drug Administration facilities in suburban Maryland.
The Passing Gas Award is won by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., for adding $5 million for the Vermont gasification project, even though the House explicitly prohibited further funding.
The Money Does Grow on Trees Award goes to Sen. Robert Bennett, R-Utah, for $500,000 for the Olympic Tree Program.

...on Saturday nearly an hour of footage from the 3-D concert film of the Irish rock band U2 made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival.Of course they are black. It would be even better if they were Fly glasses, but I guess that could get pricey.
As "U2 3D" demonstrates, this is definitely not the 3-D of drive-in memories. The concert film gives the audience the palpable experience of being present, as the camera swivels around Bono's face, then soars over and down among the 60,000 concertgoers. And though the new version still requires audience members to wear glasses, they are not the old red-and-green variety but sleek black ones.

Philip Bird
Ensemble plays for Juniors
Working in the Following Genres:
Plays With (Optional) Music
Latest news
'Toys in Pieces' will be performed at Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch, UK as part of a one-act festival on April 7th 2018.
Why he writes
Philip is a well-known theatre, television and radio actor who has appeared in countless productions over the last thirty years. He is also a parent. He started writing plays for children when his wife, a Drama teacher, was looking for something for her class of Juniors to put on.
She wanted something that would involve everyone, that would give opportunities for every child to make her or his own contribution to the play, whether acting, singing, playing or dancing. That is why he calls his plays 'ensemble' - everyone is involved from start to finish.
The plays can be performed equally on an open stage or with scenery. Little in the way of props and furniture are required.
What he writes
Philip's plays have been entered for Festivals and performed all over the English-speaking world.
'Toys in Pieces (The T.I.P.)' is an adventure story about a well-loved but slightly battered teddy bear and
his friends' mission to rescue him from a terrible fate at the Tip.
(For countries where the Dump is the usual word for where things get thrown away, Philip has written a short insert.)
'In The Lap Of The Gods' is a staging of a series of myths, some less well-known, set on a Greek island where a group of children are shipwrecked.
'The Ratbusters of Hamelin' is a re-telling of the Pied Piper story, but because the original tale has only a few characters, Philip has created an ensemble version for a whole class to perform.
'Looking For The Rainbow' is an adventure story about two villages. In one village the children have to work all day underground in the mines, and in the other they spend the days playing in the sun. A jewelled necklace unexpectedly brings

Anti-conversion bill: BJP eyes help of 'secular parties'
Asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party was against conversions and re-conversions, party chief Amit Shah has sought the support of 'secular parties' to bring an anti-conversion bill.india Updated: Jan 03, 2015, 19:11 IST
Asserting that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was against conversions and re-conversions, party chief Amit Shah has sought the support of "secular parties" to bring an anti-conversion bill.
"We are against forceful conversions and re-conversions. Neither our party nor the NDA government is involved in the 'ghar wapsi' (homecoming) programme. We seek support of the so-called secular parties for a strong legislation against conversions," Shah told reporters in Bangalore, formerly known as Bengaluru.
Regretting that no secular party had come forward to introduce the anti-conversion bill, he said the ruling BJP was in favour of such a law to check conversions.
"There is a need for a strong anti-conversion law to prevent conversions by anyone, be they Christians, Muslims or Hindus," Shah said.
Noting that the BJP had nothing to do with the 'ghar-wapsi' programme of some Hindu right-wing groups, Shah said his party did not believe in such conversions.
The Dharma Jagran Samiti, a group affiliated to the BJP, was allegedly behind the forceful conversions of about 250 Muslim families to Hinduism in Uttar Pradesh in November, kicking up a political storm.
Religious conversions have long been a lightning rod for identity politics in India, whose history is scarred with episodes of blood-letting of citizens divided on faith and ethnicity.
Such religion-driven politics took a backseat in the last decade of economic boom, but signs of a more assertive Hindu right have surfaced since the election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding to a climate of fear. Communal tension reached its peak after the alleged conversion of dozens of Muslims in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, in December.
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-affiliate groups announced plans for more such 'ghar-wapsi (homecoming)', with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat daring political rivals to bring in a law to ban religious conversions if they wanted to stop such events.
The issue triggered a ruckus in the Winter Session. The ruling BJP, however, distanced itself from the controversy and said it was against forced conversions.

Jerry Douglas - Dobro
Doug Belote - Drums
Daniel Kimbro - Bass
Mike Seal - Guitar
Jamel Mitchell - Sax
Marc Franklin - Trumpet
Christian Sedelmyer - Fiddle
Jerry Douglas is an American resonator guitarist, lap steel player and record producer who got the nickname 'Flux' - which has to do with his fluid and flowing finger work. On his latest musical foray, What If, Douglas decisively merges jazz inclinations with bluegrass, country, blues, swing, rock, and soul. He's spent his life absorbing and performing, forging a sound that flies beyond the boundaries of anything he - or anyone else - has done before. "A lot of what you do as a musician comes from fear; what you think the audience will stand… "I'd come up with the tune, and they would help me take it to some crazy places," he says. What If, marks the recorded debut of the Jerry Douglas Band. According to Douglas, it's a real band effort. It might be tricky to play, but for listeners, the operative word - for the whole album - is magic.

While companies like Starbucks and Wal-Mart have recently pledged to hire more veterans, new research suggests that a growing number of young veterans would rather work for themselves.
Last year, 7.1% of veteran business owners were under the age of 35, up from 4.6% in 2008, according to a brief released Friday by the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy.
The weak job market may be partly accountable for the trend. The nation'sunemployment rate has remained above 7% since November 2008.

People are living longer and that means more time and savings will be spent in retirement. If you need a tax-deferred investment to provide a guaranteed1 stream of income for life or a specified number of years, it might be worth considering an annuity. An annuity is a contract between an insurance company and an annuity owner. In exchange for a purchase payment, or series of payments, the insurance company guarantees1 to pay a stream of income in the future.
There are two types of annuities—Immediate and Deferred.
Immediate Annuities
An immediate annuity is usually purchased with a single premium and begins a stream of income within the first 12 months from the date of issue. You decide when payments will begin within that period and how long to receive income. There are two types of immediate annuities: fixed and variable.
- Immediate Fixed Annuity
An immediate fixed annuity provides a guaranteed and predictable stream of income during the payout period.
- Immediate Fixed and Variable Annuity
An immediate fixed and variable annuity provides a guaranteed stream of income. The variable income payments fluctuate based on the performance of the variable investment choices selected. A fixed account is also usually offered as an investment choice within this type of contract.
Deferred Annuities
A deferred annuity is specifically designed to help accumulate assets for retirement. It also offers the ability to turn those assets into a guaranteed stream of income at some point in the future. You decide when payments begin and how long to receive income. There are basically two types of deferred annuities: fixed and variable.
- Deferred Fixed Annuity
A deferred fixed annuity earns interest during the contract's accumulation period. The interest rates are set by the issuing company and are guaranteed not to be lower than the minimum guaranteed interest rate shown in the contract. A contract's accumulated assets can be converted into a guaranteed stream of income for the future.
- Deferred Variable Annuity
A deferred variable annuity offers variable investment choices (and usually a fixed account) in which the contract owner can invest. During the accumulation period, the investment return and value of the annuity will fluctuate in accordance with the investments selected. A contract's accumulated assets can be converted into a guaranteed stream of income for the future.
1Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the investment performance or safety of the amounts held in the variable investment options.
Variable annuities are long term investment vehicles designed to help investors save for retirement and involve certain contract limitations, fees, expenses and risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested. The investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that the investment, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. As with many investments, there are fees, expenses and risks associated with these contracts. All guarantees including the death benefit payments are dependent upon the claims paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the investment performance of the underlying funds in the variable annuity. Assets in the underlying funds are subject to market risks and may fluctuate in value.
Withdrawals of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax and possible mandatory federal income tax withholding. If taken prior to age 59½, a 10% IRS penalty may also apply. Withdrawals affect the variable annuity's death benefit, cash surrender value and any living benefit and may also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
Variable annuities and their underlying variable investment options are sold by prospectus only. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. This and other information are contained in the prospectus or summary prospectus, if available, which may be obtained from your investment professional. Please read it before you invest or send money.

I had to look that one up. It looks like there
are about 200 kinds. I bet that there are
different variations on those 200 kinds too.
Here are some of the general kinds of cells:
Cells that make stuff for use outside the cell,
such as mucus, saliva, digestive enzymes,
connective tissue, and hormones.
Cells that protect other cells, like the cells on
the outside of our skin.
Cells for absorbing things, like the ones in our
digestive system, lungs, and urinary system.
Cells for storing and processing energy, such as
fat cells, liver cells, and muscle cells.
Nerve cells that sense information (HOT!), tell
our bodies what to do (Pull back hand!), and allow
us to think, plan, feel, and coordinate (I'm not
touching the hot plate again!).
Cells for reproducing—eggs and sperm
Cells that contract—muscle cells
Cells that help other cells do their jobs
Cells that attach germs and other invaders
Cells that make and destroy bone
Cells that process chemicals—like in our liver and
Cells that carry oxygen—red blood cells.
All of these cells have their own shapes and sets
of organelles that help them do their jobs.
Every cell type has the same set of DNA, they
just use different parts of it. The only
exceptions are the mature red blood cells (which
lose their nuclei) and the sex cells, which only
have half the genetic material of the other
cells. Can you figure out why?
You may be interested in studying cell biology.
There are about 200 different kinds of cells in
the human body. The number is "about 200"
because our understanding of the biology of the
human body is not complete enough to claim we've
discovered every type of cell. Also, the process
of putting cells in different categories is
complex and it requires making decisions that may
not be entirely straightforward.
In a sense, there are opinions involved
because someone can consider two cells to be the
same type while someone else thinks they're
different. But the scientific community has
decided on certain types of cells because it's
important for scientists to be able to communicate
about which cell they're studying.
An interesting thing about the many different
types of cells is that they all come from 1 cell,
a sperm fused with an egg. All cells that come
from that cell are genetically identical.
Therefore, the different types of cells don't
have different DNA, they just read different parts
of the DNA. If you think of the DNA as an
encyclopedia, nobody reads an entire encyclopedia,
they just read the parts that are important to

In a nutshell, the legislation raises the minimum salary amount for exempt employees or more commonly referred to as salaried workers, from the current $455 a week requirement to $913 a week. As of December 1st, exempt employees must be compensated at the new minimum salary amount. For highly compensated employees, the salary increases from the current $100,000 requirement to $134,004 a year. Based on salary alone, 35 percent of full-time salaried workers will be automatically entitled to overtime.
The Department of Labor determined the new salary threshold, by looking at the 40th percentile of weekly earnings for salaried workers in the lowest-wage Census region. Currently, this was in the South region. The Department of Labor will use this same method to determine the new salary threshold every three years. The new salary amounts are expected to be posted 150 days before their effective date, giving employers time to make any adjustments as needed. August 1, 2019, will likely be the release date for the new salary threshold, so mark your calendar.
Another a big change that will go into effect on December 1st is the inclusion of non-discretionary bonuses. The final rule allows employers to pay up to 10 percent of an employee's salary as a non-discretionary bonus that must be paid on at least a quarterly basis.
Some things that did not change due to the New Overtime Rule include the duties test that is used to determine exempt status. Overtime is still paid as time and one-half the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Employers will still need to retain accurate timekeeping records for non-exempt employees.
Businesses both large and small will feel the impact of the New Overtime Rule. Make sure to take a look at your current practices and adjust as you see necessary. Over the next few weeks, simplyHR will be posting additional information to dive a little deeper into some of the topics discussed in this overview. simplyHR will also be presenting on the New Overtime Rule at the Larimer Small Business Development Center in Fort Collins, CO on November 11, 2016. This presentation is free of charge, and seating is limited. To register, follow this link: https://clients.coloradosbdc.org/workshop.aspx?ekey=80360201

About this book
Mass-Market Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism, 1972–2017 tracks the transformation of liberal thought in the contemporary United States through the unique lens of the popular paperback. The book focuses on cultural shifts as they appear in works written by some of the most widely-read authors of the last fifty years: the idea of love within a New Economy (Danielle Steel), the role of government in scientific inquiry (Michael Crichton), entangled political alliances and legacies in the aftermath of the 1960s (Tom Clancy), the restructured corporation (John Grisham), and the blurred line between state and personal empowerment (Dean Koontz). To address the current crisis, this book examines how the changed character of American liberalism has been rendered legible for a mass audience.

I had recently bought some stuff from H&M. Their plus size collection is not amazing, but it does have great basics at good prices. I liked this top a lot; it has decent sleeves that meant I didn't need a cardigan while walking around outside, but it's quite thin so I didn't get too warm while I was inside (last time I had been way too warm inside). I also like the colour, it's a nice summer-to-autumn shade I think!
The top is £7.99 I think, such a bargain!
The skirt is the black skirt from Yours that I wear a lot
Thank you Yvonne for taking this photo!

The Charge of the Light Brigade (1968): Half a Century Onward
The Charge of the Light Brigade: Half a Century Onward
A One-Day Symposium
Friday 18 May 2018, The Void Cinema, Sheffield Hallam University
Next year sees the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Woodfall Films' epic production The Charge of the Light Brigade. While the film suffered from director Tony Richardson's fractious relationship with the critics when it first appeared, it has subsequently assumed a totemic significance in British cinema history, embracing the anti-imperial values of the 1960s counter-culture in its depiction of one of the great disasters of British military history.
In addition to being graced by a remarkable range of acting talent, from relative newcomers David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave (both fresh from Blowup) to distinguished veterans like John Gielgud, Trevor Howard and Harry Andrews, The Charge of the Light Brigade showcases a wealth of British creative and technical talent, from Richardson's direction and Charles Wood's script to David Watkin's cinematography, Ted Marshall's production design, Kevin Brownlow's editing and Richard Williams' animations.
To mark the anniversary, Sheffield Hallam University and the University of York are holding a one-day symposium to reconsider the film, its achievements and its legacy, culminating in a special screening of The Charge of the Light Brigade in the longest available version. It is hoped that members of the film's cast and crew will be in attendance.
We therefore invite proposals for 20-minute presentations on any aspect of the film, including its production, reception and artistic, social or cultural significance.
Abstracts of around 200 words should be sent to:
Dr Sheldon Hall, Sheffield Hallam University, email@example.com
Prof Duncan Petrie, University of York, firstname.lastname@example.com
Deadline for submission of proposals: 28 February 2018

Chapter 29: The Knight of Justice! Beelzemon vs. Gallantmon
"What do you want, Beelzemon?" spat UlForceVeedramon, not yet turning around to face the Demon Lord.
"What's with the harsh tone?" Beelzemon smirked, leaning on one knee while his tail slammed on the sandy ground below. "All I wanna know is where Alphamon and Lord Yggdrasil are. I have a feeling you know where they are, so if you wouldn't mind telling me, I'll let you live."
"Why worry about them?" UlForceVeedramon retorted. He turned around to face the evil Digimon, glaring at him. "I'm right here! I'll take you on!"
"Wait a second, UlForceVeedramon!" Alex raised her arm out to him as a reflex as if to grab and stop him, even though she wasn't anywhere near close enough to make physical contact with her partner. "Nero didn't want Alphamon to fight him. Maybe we should think about this."
"Better listen to your little human," cackled Beelzemon. "Fighting you lot would be pointless. Especially you, MetalGreymon!" Beelzemon said the last bit as if he were interested in the weakened Ultimate-level Digimon, grinning at him. He leaped into the air and landed in front of him, looking up at him.
"What do you mean by that?" MetalGreymon asked weakly, struggling to keep his form now that a new threat had emerged before him.
"Even if you could digivolve to the next level, you would still never be able to defeat me," Beelzemon replied, his words causing anger to stir up inside MetalGreymon. "Getting angry at being called weak, eh?" Beelzemon observed MetalGreymon's facial expression, the image of BlackGabumon popping into his mind. "You're more like him than I perceived you to be."
"What are you talking about?" MetalGreymon questioned, now seeming interested in his words.
"Don't listen to him, Metal!" barked UlForceVeedramon. "And you, Beelzemon! Shut that trap of yours and fight me!"
"Can't you see I'm talking to the incomplete Digimon over here?" Beelzemon waved his hand back towards UlForceVeedramon as if he were trying to shoo him away. "Unless you plan on telling me where Alphamon is, I have no interest in you in your condition."
"Incomplete?" thought MetalGreymon, thinking that the Demon Lord didn't appear to be lying about whatever it was he were talking about based on his attitude.
"Well get interested!" UlForceVeedramon roared, extending an energy blade and charging at Beelzemon with such speed that he was invisble to the naked eye. Alex and the other couldn't even tell where he was, though that didn't stop the Digimon's partner from calling out to him and telling him wait.
Beelzemon took a deep breath and sighed, reaching into his gun holster and grabbing hold of his weapon. The evil Digimon jumped up high. UlForceVeedramon suddenly reappeared underneath him with his arm extended. He was flabbergasted that Beezlemon seemed to have anticipated his attack and avoided it with such ease. Beelzemon took direct aim at the blue Digimon from above, firing a single shot from his weapon. The attack hit its mark, striking UlForceVeedramon in the wound given to him by SkullSatamon after piercing his armor.
UlForceVeedramon collapsed onto his back in front on MetalGreymon, releasing a deafening cry of pain into the air/ He could no longer hold his Mega-level form and became Veemon once again, blood leaking from his injury and pouring onto the sand. Veemon continued to cry out in an uncontrollable spasm, the sound of voice causing tears to fill Alex's eyes. Without any concern for her safety, Alex left the others to run over to her partner.
"V-Veemon?" Aimi stuttered. She had never heard such a horrific sound before.
"That's…. That's just awful!!" spouted Ana. It was difficult for her to continue looking on, but she knew that she couldn't let Beelzemon out of her sight after a stunt like that.
"I told you that I wasn't interested in fighting you in your condition," Beelzemon sighed.
"H-How could you?!" MetalGreymon growled, unable to bear the sight of his friend screaming in pain. Still, seeing how quickly UlForceVeedramon was taken out, what chance did he have of doing anything in his condition? He felt powerless to fight back. Alex was now holding Veemon's head up in her arms, doing her best to keep him calm.
"It's all right, Veemon," she continued to tell him in the calmest voice she could muster. "You're going to be okay!"
Beelzemon simply shook his head as he raised his leg up behind him, kicking WarGrowlmon in the chest after the Digimon tried a failed sneak attack. WarGrowlmon was easily pushed to his rear and his back by the Mega-level Digimon. Beelzemon seemed uninterested with WarGrowlmon's strength and returned to Veemon, whom was still crying out in pain.
"If it hurts so much, maybe I should just put you out of your misery right now," he said, holding a gun up to his head.
"No!" cried Alex, covering her partner and looking up at the evil Digimon with teary eyes. "Why are you doing this?! Nero said that you weren't infected by the virus, so why are you attacking us?! We didn't do anything to you!"
"Why am I doing this?" Beelzemon repeated, sheathing his gun. "For the same reason any Digimon would fight another: to get stronger! I could care less about what the master wants; I want power!"
"P-Power?" WarGrowlmon said, sitting up and getting to his feet. "You would make innocent people cry, even kill them…for that? How could someone like you be so evil?"
"Evil?" Beelzemon glared back at WarGrowlmon. "Let me tell you something about evil… It doesn't exist." He turned around to face WarGrowlmon. His stare was so cold it sent a chill up WarGrowlmon's back, despite the intense heat of the desert. "There is no good. There is no evil. There is only power! Power controls everything! It controls people's dreams… It controls people's fears. Give anyone enough power and they'll surely try to rule the world. Those without power will cower in fear, and desire the power to free them. In then end, it's all about power."
WarGrowlmon glanced down at Veemon, whom was fighting for life in a different kind of battle, and the human who was doing everything she could to keep him calm.
"Enough!" he brought his gaze to meet directly with Beelzemon's, the Demon Lord sensing a sudden change in him. "Your evil deeds must come to an end! I will stop you, even if it costs me my life!"
"You tell him, WarGrowlmon!" Ana cheered, clenching her hands into fists. Her Digivice suddenly started glowing, firing a beam of light at WarGrowlmon. WarGrowlmon could feel the energy whirling up inside him, his body growing more powerful, changing.
"WarGrowlmon digivolve to…" he yelled as his body began to morph. His body took on a more humanoid shape, with shining white kinght-like armor covering his body from head to toe. The elbow-like plates on the back of gauntlets were colored red, as were his shoulder plates and knee plates. His greaves, most of them hidden under the armor covering his legs, had gold coloring on the tips, and red coloring on the heels and ankles. A pair of yellow eyes was all that showed from behind his helmet, a Guilmon-like mask could be seen across his forehead. "Gallantmon!"
"Kick…his…ass!" Alex said with a slight pause between her words for emphasis.
The Mega-Level form of Guilmon raised his right arm up into the air, summoning a long white jousting stick. A round shield appeared on his left arm; a red digital hazard sign positioned in the center of it matched the one on his chest. "Your treachery ends here!"
Back in town, Hikaru and Ryudamon continued their search for the humans they knew to be there.
"The Digivice says they should be somewhere around here," the boy told his partner. "See anyone, Ryudamon?"
"Nada, Hikaru-sama," responded the dinosaur-like Digimon. She surveyed the area as far forward as she could, not seeing anything that looked like a human. "Wait, is that…" she began to say as she eyed a familiar blue figure. "It is… Veemon!"
At the sound of Ryudamon's voice, Veemon turned around to face the two. They ran over waving, but Hikaru realized that something was odd. Not only was Alex nowhere in sight, but he was looking at them like he didn't know who they were.
"Hey, Veemon, where's Alex?" Ryudamon wondered after noticing the human girl was nowhere to be found. "Don't tell me you ditched her food again."
"Who's Alex?" the blue Digimon blinked curiously, tilting his head a bit.
"Hold on a second, Ryudamon," Hikaru held his hand down in front of Ryudamon. "I don't think this is the same Veemon."
Ryudamon leaned in close to examine the Veemon, resulting in him backing away in a creeped-out way. Ryudamon brought herself back and bowed to him. "My apologies, Veemon, I mistook you for someone else."
Veemon watched as Ryudamon conversed with her partner and started walking away. A few clicks ran in his brain and he quickly came to the realization that he had just met another human like his partner.
"Wait!" he called, the two looking back over at him. "You guys wouldn't happen to know Lord Yggdrasil, would you?"
"You mean, Nero?" replied Hikaru. "Yeah, we've been travelling around with him for a while now. He should actually be here soon."
"He's coming here?" Veemon gasped. "That's great! I've gotta tell Jillian!"
The name sparked the plugs in Hikaru and Ryudamon's minds and both noticed that the name sound human-like. As Veemon ran away, the two pursued him.
Hikaru and Ryudamon had yet to become aware that Nero had actually passed by the town already and were set on-course to meet with the girls that had been left alone at the farthest point.
Beelzemon ginned evilly at the new challenge that had unexpectedly appeared before him, placing both of his hands at his waist. "So, you think you can take me on, eh? Seeing how you're in better shape than that other guy, I suppose I could play wit you for a little while. It'll be a nice little warm-up for Alphamon."
He disappeared before Gallantmon's eyes; the Demon Lord was fast, but not as fast as UlForceVeedramon. Having already seen the movements of Veemon's Mega-level form, Beelzemon seemed to stand still. He raised his shield up to his left side, blocking a kick thrown at him by Beelzemon.
"Impressive! You saw that one coming…" Beelzemon raised both of his guns up to Gallantmon's head, his foot keeping the shield down. "But not this one. Take this! Double Impact!"
Gallantmon ducked his head down. The bullets fired grazed the top of his helmet and bounced away with a clang sound. He pulled his shield down a bit and forced Beelzemon to lose his footing on the shield. The knight-like Digimon slid on the ground underneath the enemy, attempting to land a kick into Beelzemon's back. Beelzemon shifted his body in midair to block the kick with his arms. His whole body began to spin with the force of the impact, but he safely landed on the ground without any sign of injury.
"This is getting to be fun!"
While Beelzemon seemed to think of the battle as nothing more than a game, Gallantmon was quickly discovering the reason as to why Nero didn't let Alphamon fight him.
"This form takes a lot out of you," ran the through in his mind. "And I haven't even used one of my special attacks yet." He tried to hide his fatigue, which wasn't too difficult to do while hidden behind his helmet. He raised his joust up to Beelzemon's chest, the point charged with electricity. "Lightning Joust!"
A wide toothy grin came across the Demon Lord's face as Gallantmon prepared to launch the attack at him. He beat his chest vigorously before holding both of his arms out in front of him. "Bring it!"
"He's a beast!" MetalGreymon observed.
Gallatnmon released the stored up energy in his lance, sending it all at the Beelzemon. The lightning hit its intended target, but Beelzemon seemed to be enduring it. He let out a lout warrior-like yell while standing his ground, being pushed back about two feet based on the marks in the sand his feet produced. Despite the intensity of the attack, Beelzemon had received naught but a small burn mark upon his chest.
"Is that the best you've got?" Beelzemon cackled. "Kid, let me tell ya something… In this desert, the occasional lightning hurts worse than that."
Nero had implemented such a feature into the game. The weather changed in the game much like it did in the Real World, and while the desert received little to no rain, it did receive electrical storms from time to time.
"Now then, I think it's my turn."
Beelzemon charged at Gallantmon with so much force that he caused the sand underneath him to part. Even though Gallantmon had managed to defend himself with his shield, the punch the Digimon delivered hurled him backwards. Gallantmon raised his shield up again just in time to block an aerial kick from Beelzemon, the power of the kick causing his body to dig into the sandy ground.
"Shield of the Just!" shouted Gallantmon.
Beelzemon looked down at the shield as several red triangles circling the hazard symbol lit up.
"Shit…" the Demon Lord said before being shot with a humongous beam of energy released from the shield. He was flung off into the distance by the massive burst of energy before finally skidding against the ground and landing in a sand dune. Te dune exploded upon impact, resulting in a shower of sand falling from the sky.
Gallantmon began panting very heavily, having exhausted almost of all of his energy at this point. After using up the energy he did as WarGrowlmon and using up most of his power in his last two attacks, it was a surprise that he was still in his Mega-level form. The Digimon thought he had finally caught a break before an evil laugh permeated the dense air.
Beelzemon emerged from the pile of sand he had been under looking beat up. His jacket was torn with holes in various places and his mask had several soot marks scattered about.
"Does this guy ever quit!?" Ana complained, knowing her partner wouldn't be able to continue fighting this monstrosity.
Aimi had sought comfort from MetalGreymon and could be seen huddled up against his leg, while Veemon had finally calmed down and fallen unconscious in his partner's arms.
Beelzemon leapt into the air, doing a front-flip before landing directly in front of Gallantmon. Before the knight-like Digimon could react, Beelzemon dropped down and swept him off of his feet. Landing on his tush, Gallantmon looked up to find Beelzemon with a gun held to his face.
"Game over!" Beelzemon announced, standing on his lance so he couldn't strike back.
Gallantmon shut his eyes as the humans all gasped in fear and his partner called out to him. He was weak. Beelzemon was strong and experienced. Nothing he did would save his life this time. He heard the click of Beelzemon's gun, but heard no gunshot. He opened his eyes when his jousting stick became lighter, watching Beelzemon walk away from him with his guns sheathed. The Demon Lord was now approaching the humans.
"You're not going to finish me off?" the red and white Digimon questioned.
"My orders were to destroy Alphamon and apprehend Lord Yggdrasil," he answered. "Never once did the master ever order me to dispose of you lot. I want power! It's why I seek strong opponents! Killing a weakling would hardly increase my strength. Get stronger, kid. Live with the knowledge that you lost to a superior opponent. Hate me for what I did to your friend. Then, someday, when you're stronger, come face me again!"
Gallantmon was surprised by Beelzemon's words, but he still didn't want to risk letting him hurt anyone else. He reached out his arm, but his lack of energy caused him to revert back to his Rookie stage, Guilmon, before he could. Beelzemon approached the Alex, whom was still with Veemon.
"Where's Lord Yggdrasil?!" he demanded.
"I'm right here!" a familiar voice responded.
Beelzemon turned his head to the side to find Nero and Alphamon now on the scene. He smiled a sinister grin as Nero gazed upon the condition of his friends. Still, although Beelzemon was surely weakened by the look of things, Nero knew he couldn't win.
"That was quite cowardly of you two back there," he grinned, pulling out his pistols and aiming them at Alphamon.
"Hold it, Beelzemon!" Nero requested, rasing his hand into the air. Beelzemon seemed surprised by the gesture and fumbled back, curious as to what Nero wanted to say. "Listen, I know you want to fight Alphamon, and nothing I say will change your mind." Beelzemon seemed to chuckle at his words, agreeing wholeheartedly. "Yes, we ran! But that's only because I knew that we couldn't win. It was wrong to do. However, Beelzemon, hear me out! Please, give us three, no, two days to train! If you accept, I promise Alphamon and I will challenge you to a one-on-one battle!"
"Two days, huh?" Beelzemon replied, sheathing his guns. "And you're sure these extra days would allow Alphamon to reach my level of strength?"
"That is correct," Nero confirmed.
"I don't think I should," Beelzemon grumbled, crossing his arms across his chest. "I don't think I should. I did promise the master I'd defeat you guys, and as much as I hate the guy, I'm obliged to keep my promises. I can't risk you guys running from me again, and I'm positive that there's no sandstorm to save your asses this time."
"We won't run!" assured Nero, getting down on his hands and knees in a begging gesture.
This action confused the Digimon, finding it highly unorthodox. He spit off to the side and glared at him. "What can you offer me as collateral? You know, so I can be sure you're telling the truth."
"Collateral?" Aimi wondered.
"He means something of equal value," Ana answered. "Beelzemon wants a trade to ensure that he'll have something if Nero goes back on his word."
Nero panicked for a brief second, wondering what he could possibly offer. Beelzemon suddenly heard a strange sound and raised his arm, catching what looked like a Digivice.
"Will that suffice?" growled Alex, figuring that Veemon would be incapable of fighting for a short while.
Nero looked up; he was worried that Beelzemon might give the Digivice to the virus and use it to track their movements. Nero did voice his complaint, but Guilmon spoke up, telling Nero that he believed that the Demon Lord would not do such a thing.
Beelzemon glanced at Alex, who had a stern look upon her face, and then back at Nero. "Very well! Two days… In two days, meet me at the oasis."
Beelzemon walked over to his motorcycle, the Digivice clenched in his right hand, and rode off, leaving the humans behind.
Elsewhere, back in the virus' lair, a pair of golden yellow eyes appeared in the dark corridors of what looked like BlackGabumon's room. A black leg, seemingly covered in black armor, emerged from the door into the virus' chamber. The virus' voice rang out.
"It looks like your body has finally accepted the power, BlackMetalGarurumon," the voice cackled. "That's good, because there's something I need you to do for me."

The town of Barmouth lies within the Snowdonia National Park on the north side of the Mawddach estuary. Its wide sandy beach is backed by dunes and a promenade, and the main section is subject to dog restrictions from April 1st to September 30th. The beach usually attains the Blue Flag award and a beach supervisor is on duty during the summer, but there is no lifeguard service at this or any other beach in the county of Gwynedd. There is easy access to the shore from the promenade, which is almost level with the sand at the back of the beach. Hazards of the beach include fast currents near the estuary and sandbars.
Barmouth has good facilities including plenty of P&D parking, deckchair hire, a land train, toilets ♿, drinking water, a slipway, fairground rides, beach shops, pubs and cafes. Northwards from the town, the shore is backed by shingle and there is a further large car park at this end. Barmouth rail station is a short, level 100 yard walk from the beach and the town itself has more shops, cafes, hotels, supermarkets and a Tourist Information Centre. A ½ mile long timber railway viaduct carries the Cambrian Coast railway across the Mawddach estuary, and a foot / cycle path runs alongside the railway. This is now part of the Wales Coastal path, and there is no longer a fee to cross. Barmouth town also has some very narrow streets, and a short one-way system. Congestion is to be expected during peak times. If you're travelling from the south, it may be an idea to park at a nearby rural station, such as Morfa Mawddach or Llwyngwril (free parking at both) on the Cambrian Coast line and take the train.
Panoramic views of the town and estuary can be seen from the National Trust property of Dinas Olau, directly behind the town. This can be reached via Dinas Olau road which leads to a very steep zig-zag path up the hill.
Surf conditions are fairly consistent, any stage of the tide is good, and it rarely gets crowded.

Menopause at Work: Survey Results Published!
Published: 4th July 2019
Recently, Dr Louise Newson and Dr Rebecca Lewis compiled a survey aiming to explore the impact that menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms can have on women in the workplace. The questionnaire was completed by 1132 women and over 90% of respondents felt that their menopausal or perimenopausal symptoms were having a negative impact on their work.
As of 2019, evidence on the impact of menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms on women in the workplace is scarce; making this survey one of the first of it's kind. It has been proven that there is a general lack of support at work for women who are transitioning into the menopause and Dr Lewis and Dr Newson will be presenting these results at the British Menopause Society meeting on the 4th-5th July.

Newson Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre was founded by leading menopause specialist and GP, Dr Louise Newson, and officially opened in September 2018 by Liz Earle MBE. Created to help women receive the most appropriate, individualised treatment for their perimenopause and menopause, it has quickly become a centre of excellence, providing care to women of all ages, as well as running educational events for primary care clinicians.
Dr Newson is also the founder of the Menopause Doctor website, a free resource since 2017, providing the latest unbiased, evidence based information about the menopause and perimenopause for women as well as the most recent national and international menopause articles and guidelines for healthcare professionals. The website has been adopted by the Royal College of GPs (RCGP) as an official educational library aimed at patients and healthcare professionals wishing to learn more about the menopause.
Newson Health Research and Education is a not-for-profit organisation founded by Dr Newson, from which all profits gained from the organisation's activities, such as event sponsorship, delegate fees and speaker's fees, are invested back into the business.

When you first start to market your business, it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to tell absolutely everyone about yourself and not thinking first about who will really benefit most from what you are selling. For example, if you are starting a small retail website, you may not wish to spend $1000's on advertising in glossy magazines until you have built yourself up a bit (or a lot).
Most small businesses have a limited budget when it comes to marketing and one of the best ways to stick to that budget is to refine who you are selling to.
So sit down and think about it.
Who do you think will be most interested in what you sell? Are they young or old; well off, or cash strapped; white or blue collar; HSC or Tertiary educated?
Try and imagine them.
What do you think they like, what turns them off? While we know it's not a good idea to pigeonhole people too much, you can certainly save a lot of time and money by identifying and targeting the sort of customers who are more likely to be seeking what you are selling.
Once you've got an idea of who your business is best going to serve, think about where they are and what they're doing.
Are they reading fancy magazines? Are they trawling the net? On Facebook perhaps? What sites might they like? What keywords might they use to search for you (aaah the million billion dollar question).
Even if you haven't got it 100% right, you should now be able to think of a few ways to best reach your potential customers.
Perhaps sponsored links instead of classifieds. Maybe not a national paper but a local one. A letterbox drop in your area or a visit to your local shopping centre with some brochures. Get busy on some relevant forums, tweet about what you do, write a series of relevant blog posts (yep, you've found me out).
It's all about saving your energy, so marketing doesn't take up all your time, and you get the most bang for your buck, whether it's time or money spent.
Good luck with your marketing target practice… next week: How social media has finally hit me over head with a big saucepan and forced me to take notice.

Problem deployment of a particular application or website is a strenuous task. It requires pressure and time management skills, amongst others. The production development team(BAU) is required to deploy a problem within a specific given time. The time constraint causes stress, which often leads to a problem either not addressed at all, or incomplete solutions. For an individual to be able to manage a problem successfully; there should be a set protocol which should be implemented. The clauses of such a protocol should include:

- A communication team should be established. This team will help the selected individual for problem deployment. Previously, one person was in charge of multiple calls and chats while simultaneously looking for a solution to the issue at hand. This lead to a decrease in time, which can otherwise be allotted to solution-finding. A communication team should be well versed in the technicalities of the problem so he/she can transfer information adequately to the client.
- The problem should be allotted to two individuals instead of one. Two individuals will not only help the company detect a problem faster but also ensure high-quality solutions. The two individuals will be able to check on each other, and as the common saying goes, two minds are better than one. The pressure and the stress a time constraint situation contains will be divided and shared. This will ensure high functioning of both the individuals, which in turn will produce high-quality solutions.
- When an issue is detected, the two individuals will proofread each other's codes, and both will look for each other's approval. Even though this process may be time-consuming, but this will ensure all the codes in place are functioning. To make this problem detecting and solving process smooth, we need to waste as less time as possible and provide the production environment with the best solutions possible. This takes us back to point 1, which will ensure no time is lost, contacting, making calls, and chatting with the clients.
- When operating on a high application data, the developer should ensure there is a replication of that data that exists in the pre-pod environment. This replication will ensure that the code in place is working adequately before sending it out to the production environment.
- Last but not least, once the problem is fixed, the process underwent should be documented and filed so it could assist further research. This documentation should contain details of who, what, and how. This documentation will enable program developers to ensure a client's problem is handled with extreme caution and the best results obtained.

Top tips for holding a meeting whilst walking
1. It's great to have a meeting with no interruptions. If you don't have a good meeting room then meet outdoors for a walk so you can have one another's undivided attention.
2. Walking is a great way of letting off some steam. When you're sitting in an office for a considerable period of time, it is good to have a change of dynamics and scenery. A walking meeting is great for being creative and problem solving. Walking meetings are best when you know the person/people you are meeting with well.
3. Do set an agenda as you would any other meeting. You can keep this on your phone or jotted down to make sure no salient points are missed.
4. Only hold a walking meeting when you don't need to write too much down. It's very difficult to go through key statistics or if you need to take notes when you're walking. Assign someone to take along a small notepad to jot down any key actions. Be sure to recap and summarise the key points in an email later.
5. Walking meetings are most appropriate for one-to-one interaction. Having more people means there is a tendency to walk horizontally and a group discussion is tricky. One-to-one discussions are great when exploring fresh ideas, developing a shared purpose and building relationships. Four is the absolute maximum if you want everyone to be able to hear what each other is saying. Make sure everyone gets a chance to talk.
6. If you are keen on a more relaxed informal meeting then walking meetings are great. It enables you to socially bond with one another and open up about relevant personal issues. Try and keep to your meeting objective though. It's important to keep on topic, listen to each other and debate key issues.
7. Ultimately taking a walk improves brain functionality and your general health. So try and arrange walking meetings frequently so you reap the rewards. Even if it's a brisk walk with your team for ten minutes, it is beneficial for everyone's brains and bodies.
8. A walking meeting is only beneficial if the pace is right. A too fast pace leaves you breathless and unable to absorb all the conversation. In addition, a slow paced walk leaves for a more relaxed approach whereby your mind may wonder off topic. Have a walking pace which suits both of you.
9. Your walking partner(s) needs some warning. Your partner needs to plan appropriate footwear and clothing so give a couple of days' notice and ensure they are happy to walk with you.
10. Bear in mind you need to walk along quiet streets or better still in a nearby green space. Avoid busy roads that might make it challenging for everyone to hear.
Walking Works promotes walking for both individuals and businesses as a fantastic way to lose weight and get fit amongst numerous other health benefits.
