The East coast for us included a lot of driving and more cities than countryside. All of which is apart of the experience of travelling around in a van for over a month.
Pacific coast highway (SH 35)
This highway is known to be one of the most iconic road trip highways in the whole of New Zealand and I can tell you why. This road is filled with twists and turns and filled to the brim with beautiful surroundings. The road itself, whilst under serious construction when we were on it, was still a lovely drive. You will notice that in most places you drive some form of roadwork is underway. We drove all the way to the top of the East coast and braved the gravel track to the most Eastern point of the New Zealand. We didn't make it for sunrise, and to be honest in Jeanine we have to pace ourselves on the unsealed roads so we wouldn't have made it in time for the 6am sunrise show. Instead we went mid morning and walked up the 800 steps (we checked it is 800 exactly). Then we followed the road south across the multitudes of mountain passes to reach bay after bay of crystal clear waters and beautiful pebbled beaches. These beaches are the perfect spot to be able to practise you skimming stone technique. Watch out for the driftwood and try not to stab yourself in the shin with a piece of driftwood while walking along said beaches.
Gisborne. Aka Gizzy. Gisborne is the first city to see the sunrise each calendar day in world. If that doesn't get you there then what will! It also offers truly beautiful beaches and a large number of Chardonnay vineyards in the surrounding area, which should provide you all the entertainment you need. Other than the wine and the beaches Gisborne has little to offer. It is however, a convenient place to stop over on the way to other places along the East coast.
Hawkes Bay
Hawkes bay is a beautiful blue watered bay that is well and truly a must see. Driving along state highway no. 2 you follow the path around the bay to Napier from Gisborne. The road is a beautiful winding passage to the cities in the south, and on our way down we stopped for lunch at a lake that was truly unusual. Lake Tutura, a lake formed by a landslide, which no longer has any rivers that connect to it. This occurred as a result of a landslide that cut the river off from the larger body of water. The river then would normally find a way through the newly left earth, but in this case, it managed to find an easier route than via the main body of water. The river now avoids its original route altogether cutting off the lake. The perfect picturesque lunch spot, which also allowed us to learn something new. Win, win I say!
Napier came as advertised. A time capsule from the 1930s, from the architecture to the cafes and bars all in on the theme. It really was a delight to visit a strange place but I would only be able to stay for a day. The scenery was beautiful and luckily it was a gorgeous day as well so we were able to stroll around and take it all in before we headed into the museums to see the art décor galleries.
The trip wasn't all fun and games however as we also learnt a lot about the earthquake that produced the time capsule in the first place. The quake flattered the town, which was completely rebuilt in the 1930s. As a result the 1930s themed town was created.

NHAI Releases Consumer Guide for How to Overcome Chronic Fatigue Yourself
With Over 37% of Workers Experiencing Major Fatigue That Affects Productivity as Well as Quality of Life, NHAI Has Released a Comprehensive Guide for Consumers on How to Treat Underlying Fatigue Causes and Regain Lost Energy
DeSoto, TX, December 11, 2013 --(
)-- Natural Health Advisory Institute has released its latest Comprehensive Guide to Health through natural healing in the form of an e-book entitled "Fatigue Causes and Relief: Natural Remedies for Excessive Tiredness and Chronic Fatigue." The book is written by Natural Health Advisory's Kathleen Jade, a Naturopathic Physician, based on her own clinical experience with patients experiencing fatigue as well as the review of hundreds of scientific clinical studies reporting on various aspects of the condition. Fatigue impairs a person's ability to work effectively, whether in the formal workplace or at home. Workers with fatigue cost employers $136.4 billion annually in health-related lost productive time.
Tom Vick, founder and Executive Editor of Natural Health Advisory Institute has issued this statement "I believe many people suffer day in and day out with relentless fatigue and chronic tiredness and don't think there is any alternative. They mask the symptoms with coffee and energy drinks which work for a while but make things worse in the long run. The good news is that chronic fatigue in most cases comes from four or five common underlying causes – any one of which might apply to an individual. The good news for these individuals is that they can overcome chronic fatigue themselves in this manner:
1. Identify the specific underlying cause or causes of fatigue that applies to them individually. The Guide tells exactly how to do that
2. Use the natural healing therapies suggested (such as specific foods, herbal remedies, targeted nutritional supplements, etc.) in the Guide to treat that specific fatigue cause
3. Take charge of their own health on a go-forward basis by doing those things that will prevent a recurrence of fatigue and will give energy and enthusiasm to each new day. Our Guide tells them exactly what to do."
The e-book is available by subscription from the Natural Health Advisory Website and can be downloaded to a PDF version or read online in the most user-friendly, interactive online format available today. The online version features:
- A complete, clickable Table of Contents at the left of each page, so the reader can move easily to the information they want to read, always know exactly where they are in the guide and get back to their starting point at any time.
- Multiple links internally within the Guide to make it easy for the reader to jump to related information within the Guide itself.
- Links to related material on other websites, such as the Anti-Aging Doctor Website, to make additional research uncomplicated and readily available.
The doctors, nurses, and staff at Natural Health Advisory Institute provide scientifically based, easy to use natural health remedies, tips, and information for people of all ages. Their educational website provides reliable natural health protocols that treat the underlying root causes of chronic health conditions and can be understood and implemented by the readers themselves. The book author Kathleen Jade, ND, is a naturopathic physician and has been licensed as a primary care doctor in Washington State since 2004. She completed her pre-medical studies at the University of Washington and Seattle University. She then received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington, the leading center of natural health education and research.

Do you make your own ears?
Its something I am thinking of having a go at. Ive seen some cheap basic ears I thought I could use and just recover.
Anyone have any tips!
Yes, Ive done both the recover and start from scratch options. Recovering is nice and quick! Just trace to make a template and then cut that shape (plus a little bigger for the seam allowance). Sew the round part on the machine, flip inside out and cover the ears, then handstitch or hot glue to close.
It takes so little fabric that I find it quite a joy to buy the smallest cut of something Id never justify as a clothing project!
Thanks - just need a theme now 😁
I made some lilo and stitch ones for when we went to ohana breakfast
I love the parks one but they are so expensive! As I type this Mum & I are currently in the middle of making a pair using Disney fat quarter material Aldi keep bringing out! I'll post a picture later on once they are finished :)
We bought a glue gun which in total with the sticks cost us about £8 from The Range. Mum has got a sewing machine so we have stitched some things :)
i plan on making a few wears. I've made 2 sets of these ones so far...
one for me and a smaller pair for my daughter :D the picture doesn't show how sparkly and mermaidy they are
I made all the ears in these pics for our trip last year. The orange pair are a recovered pair the rest I followed a no sew ears tutorial I found on Ebay. It was fun to do and we got so many comments on them xx
Im finding these very inspiring!
These are my homemade efforts for this years trip.
Still got a few left to make.
Where are people getting headbands from? I struggle to find decent adult sized ones.

This calculator is for bridging loans secured against commercial property and land.
For calculations for bridging loans secured against residential property, such as houses and flats, please use our residential bridging loan calculator.
It is designed to provide an accurate as possible guide to the overall cost of a bridging loan facility if it runs full term, and also the reduced costs if the loan is cleared early.
The calculations are based on our most common and popular loan plans. The lending criteria for these plans are detailed below.However, the figures generated should not be relied upon as an accurate quote. Please contact us at anytime and we will be pleased to provide you with a detailed accurate quote and loan approval.
Commercial bridging loans are short-term loan facilities that are secured on either commercial property, development land or farmland. They are used by businesses or individuals who require a fast or short-term loan ranging from £100,000 to £100 million.
|Commercial Property
|Semi Commercial Property
|Shops/retail units *
|Development Land with planning
|Restaurants *
|Land without planning
|Offices *
|* A semi commercial property is simply a commercial property that also includes living accommodation. For example a shop with a couple of flats above.
|Care Homes
Our commercial bridging loan calculator is designed to provide full details of the costs involved in obtaining a commercial bridging loan. It will calculate and compare the full interest costs if the loan runs full term or is cleared early.
You only need to enter:
Early repayment option - If you will be paying the loan back early, you can also select the month that you think this will happen. The calculator will then calculate the estimated redemption figure for the selected month, in addition to the redemption figure if the loan runs its full term.
Bridging loans secured on commercial property are more specialist than those secured on residential property, meaning there are far fewer lenders in this market.
Commercial properties pose a greater risk to lenders when compared to residential properties, therefore loans secured against commercial properties tend to be more expensive than if they were secured against residential property.
This is further reflected in the type of commercial property being used as security, and the interest rates reflect the different levels of risk.
Semi Commercial – Property that is a combination of commercial and residential for example a shop with flats above.

In addition to interest charges, there are other fees and costs involved when taking out a commercial bridging loan.
Lenders facility or arrangement fee - This is typically 2% of the net or gross loan amount. On our most popular plans we are able to reduce this fee depending on the amount being borrowed.
For loans up to £400,000 the lender facility fee is 2%, on many facilities we can arrange for this to be reduced.
|Loan Amount
|Facility Fee
Lenders charge their arrangement fees differently, some charge it based on the net loan amount and other charge it based on the gross loan amount. The net loan amount is the amount required by the borrower, the gross loan contains arrangement fees plus any rolled up or retained interest. For the client it is therefore more favourable to calculate the facility fee based on the net loan amount.
Broker and packager - We do not charge broker or packager fees
Success fees - We do not charge success fees
Commitment fees - We do not charge commitment fees
Valuation fees - For commercial bridging loans lenders will usually require a valuation to be carried out. If you have a recent valuation report available, then please let us know because we maybe able to make use of it.
Legal fees - In addition to your own solicitor fees, the lender will require you to pay their legal costs.
Exit fees - Most of our commercial bridging loans do not have an exit fee. However, some plans do have an exit fee, typically ranging from 0.5% to 1% of the net or gross loan amount. This is charged when the loan is redeemed and added to the loan redemption amount. Because it is added when the loan is redeemed, interest is not charged on the on the exit fee, whereas it is charged on the facility fee.
Telegraphic transfer fee - Often referred to as a TT fee. Banks charge to send large sums of money out to a lender's solicitor, who in turn will send the money to the borrower's solicitor. These charges are around £30 to £45 and are picked up by the borrower.
We have an extensive panel of lenders which enables us to arrange bridging loans for a wide range of circumstances.
Loans from £100,000 to £1 billion
Loan terms from 1 month to typically 18 months, although up to 36 months is possible.
Commercial bridging loans can be arranged for:
Loans are secured on commercial or semi-commercial property:
They can also be secured on land:
Loans can be used for most purposes, including:
Evidence of income and affordability
The interest charges on a commercial bridging loan can be added to the loan facility and repaid when the loan is redeemed.
Therefore the borrower doesn't need to demonstration that they can afford to make monthly interest repayments.
However, the lender will want to know how the borrower intends to repay the loan. This is usually through the sale or refinance of a property, although other methods are also considered. For example they maybe waiting for a debt to be repaid, a VAT refund, or the loan is to buy a bargain item that will then be sold quickly (flipped) for a quick profit.
The lender will need to be satisfied that the intended exit route is viable. For example if the planned exit is refinance they will need to be confident that the borrower is able to arrange the required long term finance facility. Therefore if the borrower has bad credit that may prohibit more traditional long term facilities, they are likely to be uncomfortable with the planned exit route and not lend.
Credit history
Having debts or a poor credit history does not exclude applicants from obtaining a commercial bridging loan.
What is important is the planned exit route. If the loan is to buy a property to restore or convert, then once finished it will be sold for a profit, then this will most likely be acceptable to a bridging lender, regardless of the applicant's credit history. If the applicant has terrible credit and is planning to refinance once the property is finished, this will be of concern and the lender will require evidence that refinance is possible or that there are other possible exit options.

PES has lost the exclusive UEFA Champions League license
Konami's ten-year exclusivity of the UEFA Champions League rights is coming to an end.
The Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) series, which has long been the only football game where a digital recreation of the Champions League could be made, will no longer have the privilege.
More specifically, the deal will end after the 2018 Champions League Championship concludes in May, which means PES 2019 – which has yet to be announced – will not feature the mode.
Longtime football fans will know that the only big championship missing from EA's FIFA has indeed always been the UEFA Champions League. Over the years, PES's presentation paled in comparison to FIFA's, with the game only having a handful of real-world teams compared to EA's fully-licensed leagues.
Because EA had rights to practically everything else, PES games instead relied on unofficial names like the Manchester Red (for Manchester United) and so on, while allowing unofficial option packs that changed the names and kits to their real-world counterparts.
Over the years, Konami managed to make individual deals with big teams like FC Barcelona, Liverpool and a few others. But these are likely costly, and only served to highlight how lacking the rest of the game's offering is compared to EA's FIFA.
"The UEFA Champions League licence has given us a platform to create unique experiences and provide football fans from all over the world with an opportunity to enjoy this competition first-hand," said Konami's senior director of brand and business development, Jonas Lygaard.
"This year, however, we will shift our focus into other areas. We will explore alternative ways UEFA and Konami can continue to work together, as our relationship remains strong."
This news obviously doesn't confirm whether the 2019 competition will appear in FIFA 19, though that is likely. If EA simply outbid Konami on that one, expect the company to make a big deal of the get at its E3 2018 EA Play showcase.
Thanks, Eurogamer.

- Nonstick vegetable cooking spray
- 3 large egg whites
- Pinch of kosher salt
- ⅔ cup sugar, divided
- ¾ cup chilled heavy cream
- 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp. black sesame seeds
- ¼ tsp. CBD oil
- Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling; optional)
- Flaky sea salt
Recipe Preparation
Coat a 9x5" loaf pan with nonstick spray (a metal pan will conduct cold more efficiently than tempered glass). Line pan with plastic wrap, leaving a generous overhang on all sides.
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat egg whites and kosher salt in a medium bowl until frothy, about 1 minute. With the motor running, gradually add ⅓ cup sugar and beat until medium peaks form, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium-high speed, gradually add remaining ⅓ cup sugar and continue to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, 6–8 minutes.
Using clean beaters, whip cream in another medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fold one-third of whipped cream into egg whites. Finely zest lemon over egg white mixture, then squeeze in 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice. Add sesame seeds and CBD oil, then gently fold in remaining whipped cream until just combined.
Transfer mixture to prepared pan and place a piece of parchment paper on top, pressing directly onto surface. Freeze until semifreddo is firm, about 6 hours.
Remove parchment paper from surface of semifreddo and, using plastic overhang, gently lift from pan. Invert semifreddo onto a large platter, peel away plastic wrap, and slice 1" thick. Divide among plates and let sit 5 minutes to soften slightly. Drizzle with olive oil (if using) and top with sea salt.
Do Ahead: Semifreddo can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.

Breakthrough : how one teen innovator is changing the world
Andraka, Jack, 1997-2015
A compelling and engaging memoir by globally renowned teen scientist Jack Andraka.Jack Andraka was just 15 when he invented an early detection test for three types of cancer. After a family friend passed away from pancreatic cancer, Jack began to research the subject. He learned that the lack of a rapid, low-cost early screening test contributed to the poor survival rate among individuals. While sitting in biology class, he hit upon an idea. Then he came up with a plan and budget to put his idea in motion.In 2012, working with the team at John Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Jack created a test that can detect pancreatic, ovarian, and lung cancer in its earliest stages. It costs only three cents to run and has an accuracy rate higher than 90 per cent.Now, at 17, Jack is a renowned scientist. He has won numerous awards globally and speaks to packed audiences about his research, his story, and his ideas for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education reform.In Breakthrough, Jack encourages members of his generation to approach their pursuits, whatever they may be, with determination and optimism. Jack shares his experiences of bullying, rejection, hard work, and international success. In doing so, he illustrates how the curiosity and perseverance of one teen could potentially save the lives of millions. The power to change the world is within each of us, if only we have the courage to realise.

Replace Laptop Memory
Here we'll show how to replace the laptop memory, this skill can be of use not just for fixing the 0x0000008e error. Replacing laptop memory is not difficult, you are not required to be a technician. But if you are not sure of your skills, you are recommended to ask a competent person for help.
Changing Laptop Memory Steps
- Shut down your computer
- Unplug the power cord and all other cords
- Turn your laptop over and take out the battery
- Find the memory cover. If you cannot find the memory compartment, use the laptop's manual to locate it or find the description on the manufacturer's website (sometimes you need you remove the keyboard to access the memory).
- Undo the screws and remove the cover.
- Take steps to avert static electricity, for example by the means of special clothes or a anti-static wrist strap, or ground yourself before you touch the memory. RAM modules are very sensitive to even small electricity charges.
- Release the side clips that hold the module. Gently pull both clips at the same time outwards and the memory will pop up. Take the memory out holding it by the corner edges (never touch the golden pins!).
- Match the notched edge of the new memory with the notch in the slot, align it with the slot and gently slide it in until the golden pins are completely hidden. At this point the memory should be firmly seated.
- Gently push the memory down. When it is properly positioned, the side clips lock and hold it in place.
- Place the cover back, insert the screws.
- Install the battery and plug in the power cord
- Start up and check the amount of memory recognized.

Ten Years in Vancouver
Ten years ago, I moved to British Columbia.
It just sort of hit me today that I moved here a decade ago. In fact, I think I arrived at my new apartment on September 2, 2000 – so 10 years and 1 day ago. I had just finished up my Master's degree at the University of Guelph about two weeks before, and then packed up my many, many, many belongings1 and made the long journey across the country in a U-Haul, towing my beloved little Honda Civic behind me, to start my PhD at UBC. I was married at the time and my then-husband was starting college out here as well. So many things have happened in the last 10 years – got rid of the husband, for one. Actually got that PhD. Made lots of amazing friends. Took up playing hockey and running half marathons and even got back to skiing a bit2, but this time on real mountains! Have done some very cool jobs and have now found a career that I love in an organization that I love working for. Got laser eye surgery. Got the Smart car I've long wanted. Am saving money in pension and RRSP and TFSAs, like a grown up! Became an aunt – and an honourary aunt a few times too!
I was talking to someone today about how I miss being around my family (who all live in Ontario or Quebec) and my friends back east, and they asked, "Do you ever consider moving back there?" and in a heart beat I said, "Nope. Never." I just love it here too much. I mean, you've got mountains and beaches on your doorstep. There's amazing vegetarian food everywhere! And beautiful trees and the air is so clean. The weather is never too cold, nor does ever really get too hot, so you can comfortably go running or biking all year round. Sure it rains a fair bit in the fall and winter, but every time it rains I think, "It's probably snowing back east!" And as much as I complain about living in Surrey right now, I'm still in the Lower Mainland and I'm very happy about that!

COMMERCE >> Just over six months since being blasted in a scathing state audit alledging mismanagement and breaking state law, directors for the water district serving most of southeast Los Angeles County, including Whittier and Hacienda Heights, say they have implemented nearly all of the reforms suggested by the state.
Officials with the Central Basin Municipal Water District reported to the California state auditor that they had met 28 of 32 recommendations from the December 2015 audit.
The reforms include:
•Reducing the board's auto allowance
•Establishing ethics investigation procedures and new management policies
•Drafting new policies for hiring and firing general managers, additional training for staff and directors
•Requiring competitive bidding on contracts
•Eliminating a community outreach fund
•And restricting the amount of money that can be spent on ceremonies for new board members
Among the four that have not been completed are conducting a water rate study — a firm is expected to be hired later this month for that task — and providing training to employees on handling contracts.
"The auditors gave us a year to implement all of the recommendations," said Central Basin Director Leticia Vasquez.
"I'm proud to say that Central Basin in the process of implementing every single recommendation in that report," Vasquez said. "By December we'll have implemented all of the recommendations."
Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia, who has introduced legislation to add three water utility officials to the five-member board and shrink it by one, praised the district in an emailed statement.
"The progress the Central Basin Municipal Water District has made is good and I commend them for that," said Garcia, D-Downey.
"However, ensuring there is a change in governance and structure will put measures in place that act as protective mechanisms during leadership changes," she said. "It is important to keep in mind these changes are occurring because of probing from the state and [FBI]."
In addition to the audit, Garcia also noted subpoenas issued to the district about its dealings with former state Assemblyman Tom Calderon, who had a $144,000 annual lobbying contract from 2002-13.
Calderon on Monday pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering in a case also involving his brother, former state Senator Ron Calderon. He will be sentenced on Sept. 12.
"History has shown us the Central Basin Municipal Water District has been plagued by multiple scandals, and past reforms were temporary," Garcia said.
On June 1, the board voted to support Garcia's bill, but only if it was amended to keep the number of directors at five.
But Central Basin General Manager Kevin Hunt praised a section of the Garcia bill installing a committee to oversee ethics and director compensation and benefits. He said this section would keep the district from backsliding on reform efforts.
"This bill puts real teeth into [the committee]," Hunt said.
Hunt said the six-month report also shows the district is embracing the audit recommendations.
"Most of these [actions] have been accelerated ahead of schedule," he said. "The board has been totally supportive. They don't get enough credit. On every change we've made, the board had to vote on it and approve it."
Jason Wen, director of water resources for the city of Lakewood, said he likes what he sees.
"I think they're going in the right direction," Wen said. "They're doing a much better job in terms of transparency."

Ursinus Chemistry Attends 81st ISCC at Penn State Berks
May 11, 2017On April 29th Ursinus students and faculty attended the 81st Intercollegiate Student Chemists Convention at Penn State Berks campus.
On one of the warmest Saturdays this spring, chemistry students and faculty traveled to the Penn State Berks campus in Reading, Pennsylvania for the 81st Intercollegiate Student Chemists Convention.

More than fifty people attended this year's ISC convention with attendees making the journey from Albright College, Bucknell University, Centenary University, Elizabethtown College, Franklin and Marshall College, Gettysburg College, Lycoming College, Muhlenberg College, National Institutes of Health, Penn State Berks, Rider University, University of Delaware, University of Scranton and Ursinus College, who had the largest contingent of attendees at the convention.
After the opening remarks, the morning began with sixteen student presentations at the Luerssen Building followed by a luncheon, and an afternoon plenary lecture and awards ceremony. Three Ursinus students presented their research in the Inorganic/Physical Division. Jonathan Stoeber (CHEM '17) was the first Ursinus student to present his research titled "Analysis of Pore-blocking Events in Carbon Nanotube Devices", research he has been conducting with his mentor Professor Mark Ellison. Mentored by Assistant Professor Brian Pfennig, Allison Arinaga (CHEM '17) presented her "Pyrazine-modified Ferrate Complexes for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction" research. The last Ursinus student to present research was also mentored by Professor Ellison. Cody Hergenrother (CHEM '17) presented his research titled "Analysis of Ionic Transport in Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes". Other Ursinus students and faculty attended the ISCC to lend support to our student presenters and to hear about the chemical sciences research happening at other institutions.
The day concluded with a plenary lecture, "Carbon Nanomaterials and Chromatography at the Interplay", given by Luis A. Colón, the A. Conger Goodyear Professor of Chemistry at the University of Buffalo, SUNY and award presentations. Allison Arinaga earned herself a second place award in the Inorganic/Physics Chemistry Division.

Britain says it will take in 'thousands more' Syrian refugees
LONDON — Prime Minister David Cameron announced Friday morning that the UK will take in thousands more Syrian refugees, a day after pressure mounted on the British government to take more action.
Speaking at a press conference in Portugal, Cameron didn't commit to a figure, but said more details of the plan would be announced next week by the government after discussing it NGOs working in the region.
But the news won't impact those already in Europe, as he said Britain would only resettle refugees from camps that are on the Syrian border. He said the UK has already resettled 5,000 Syrians.
"Britain will act with our head and our heart," he said.
Speaking after Cameron's announcement, the U.N. refugee agency said Britain will take a further 4,000 Syrian refugees from camps in the Middle East.
"We obviously welcome very much the move to increase resettlement spaces for Syrians in the UK. Those spaces are going to be critical to the lives and future of 4,000 people," said spokeswoman Melissa Fleming.
"We certainly believe that there's the momentum here" for other countries to follow suit.
A spokeswoman in the 10 Downing Street press office refused to confirm or deny the figure of 4,000 to The Associated Press saying that no specifics would be provided until next week.
PM: Taking refugees direct from camps allows a safe route to the UK, rather than the hazardous journey that's cost so many lives. #Syria
— UK Prime Minister (@Number10gov) September 4, 2015
In the past few days the government has faced increasing pressure to do more about the refugee crisis. Thousands of British people signed petitions and made their views heard on social media, demanding more action after the publication of a photo that showed a three-year-old Syrian boy drowned on a beach in Turkey. Toddler Alan Kurdi from Kobane died along with his brother and mother while trying to reach the Greek island of Kos.
Cameron's announcement on Friday is a U-turn on statements he made earlier in the week.
On Wednesday, Cameron said that "taking more and more refugees" is not the answer. A day later he said Britain would fulfil its "moral responsibilities." Britain has been the second-biggest bilateral donor of aid to Syria, pledging £900 million.

Case Study Approaches to Managing Global Sourcing Risk
In globalization ever more efficient transportation and logistics has driven the outsourcing of manufacturing to, and sourcing of parts and goods from, distant regions to reap the benefits of lower sourcing and production costs. This has been managed by developing global supply chain management.But with its inherent complexity a global supply chain is at risk from many potential issues that could disrupt the chain. Risk must therefore be mitigated as far as possible at both a strategic and tactical level in order to reap the continued rewards of global sourcing. Many companies fail to do this when initially expanding their supply chains.
They look at the rewards of sourcing from new regions and increase the complexity of their chains without paying sufficient attention to the risks involved. In today's more volatile business climate companies are lack of the resilience in their global supply chains and are more vulnerable to failure, now more than ever .A report which published in the mid‐2008 by analysts, the Aberdeen Group, found that over the preceding year, some 58% of companies suffered financial losses as a result of supply chain disruptions. The 'bestin class' firms were those that had adopted a more holistic view of supply chain risk and improved their supply chain processes and infrastructure in order to be better positioned to foresee, spot and respond to potential disruptions.
In the journal we choose begins by reviewing the literature on global supply chain risk and global sourcing risk, including a discussion on risk mitigation strategies. The journal also followed by a number of case studies and the results of the cross-case analysis. Finally the journal included, a discussion on the implications of the results, the conclusions reached and recommendations for further research are presented.
* To understand how managers consider global sourcing risks across the entire supply chain and what actions they take to mitigate those risks. * To learn what are the stretagies used to manage global sourcing risk * To learn how organisations are exposed to supply chain risks * To analyse how organisations involved in global supply chains operate in a more complex and uncertain environment which increase their risk profile for a variety of reasons * To learn how companies need to adopt supply chain risk management strategies * To review te benefits and risk of global sourcing
In retail company, the process of decision making in global sourcing called supply management. Supply management improves in business planning to enables company to assess risks internally and in the wider network. Company can monitor on supplier's capability such as time of delivering, particular risks disaster or terrorist threats. This strategy may reduce supply risk of company. In fashion retail and wholesale, company uses critical paths and process mapping to identify and manage risks. Through this techniques may identify how the risk could be and what actions should be taken to implicate.Companies may identify new network design supplier to help in generating new ideas and impactful solution .This strategy may reduce supply risk because there will be more alternative to solve the problem. For consumer electronics there is a procurement risk management (PRM) organization which help in setting guidelines and provide training for manufacturing and logistic organizations' when dealing with suppliers. PRM is more in corrective actions according to the monitoring process and reviewing agreements. Besides that, there are several departments responsible for managing the risk process when making global sourcing decisions. For example, manufacturing function responsible in manage manufacturers contract, logistic function manage 3PLs and procurement function manage other...

16 Oct LIONHEART RELEASE VIDEO FOR "STILL BITTER STILL COLD"
Lionheart, California's reigning kings of heavy hardcore, has released a music video for their new single "Still Bitter Still Cold." The track comes from the band's upcoming album Welcome To The West Coast II and premiered with Kerrang! Magazine.
"The song title and lyrics are a continuation/tie-in to some of our older material," says vocalist Rob Watson. "The mid-tempo groove is heavy, dark, and helps tell the story perfectly. This is one of our favorite tracks on the new album and one we really look forward to playing live."
Welcome To The West Coast II marks the band's return after they announced their departure last year. The title of the record is a continuation to one of their most acclaimed albums that brought forth a new era in California hardcore.
Lionheart stormed onto the West Coast hardcore scene in 2007, taking influence from bands like Blood For Blood, Hatebreed, and Ringworm; the band came out swinging with a full blown assault of blistering metallic hardcore. Since then, they've released five albums, including 2016's Love Don't Live Here, a well-received record that charted #2 on the iTunes Metal Charts.
Welcome To The West Coast II is available now for pre-order via Fast Break Records (for US) and BDHW (for EU).
"Still Bitter Still Cold" is live now on Spotify.

The New Power Elite
Inequality, Politics and Greed
By Alan Shipman
June Edmunds
Bryan Turner
'Greedy Elites' explains why today's revolt against the 'rich and powerful' is led by billionaires and political insiders, sidelining elites' traditional enemies. It links social, economic and political theory and evidence to show how rivalries within an elite always eclipse (and co-opt) popular or class-based rebellions in driving social change.

About This Book
The key questions about today's elites are easy to ask. How did a few spectacularly wealthy bankers and fund managers, whose magic money-tree crumbled to sawdust in 2008, get themselves bailed out with public funds that no health service or infrastructure commission could dream of? Why did democratically elected governments allow the '1%', and those at even more exquisite decimal places, to flee further enriched from a market meltdown that would traditionally have culled their 'capital'? Why, when voters in America, Europe and Asia turned against governments that had made them pay twice for corporate excess, did they rally behind dissenting members of the elite, rather than traditional anti-elitist parties? What enables the domination of politics and business by an unchosen few – skewing the distributions of power, wealth and status even further skywards – when such pyramids were meant to be flattened long ago by democratization, meritocratic selection and social mobility?
'Greedy Elites' derives answers from the latest empirical evidence on rising concentrations of economic and political power, allied to new theories of how elites maintain, apply and justify their ascent over the rest of the society. It traces contemporary turbulence to the membership and internal dynamics of elites – economic, political and social – and the way they manage their connections to the rest of society. The composition and conduct of decision-making 'higher circles' remains central to explaining how national and multilateral political arrangements remain stable for long periods, interspersed with phases of abrupt change. 'Greedy Elites' also sheds light on why the patterns of change are often common across countries that differ in strength of democracy and civil society, and why they typically raise fractions of the previous elite to greater prominence, despite mass protest aimed at bringing the whole elite down to earth. Sixty years after C. Wright Mills's pioneering probe of the Power Elite in the US, 'Greedy Elites' offers new and internationally applicable ideas on the importance of frictions within the elite in sparking and steering wider social change; the shifting relationship between power and money within elites; the alternative ways in which elite fractions enrol 'middle' and 'working' class elements in their power struggles, and the typical developmental consequences of elites alternately forming and breaking up distributional class coalitions.
'This book is a useful contribution to the current debates on the growing influence of the plutocracy. With its comparative and international focus, it adds an important dimension to the ongoing debates in the US and Europe.'
—Michèle Lamont, Professor of Sociology and African and African American Studies, and Director, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University, USA
'C. Wright Mills rides again, over 60 years later, in this vigorously argued analysis which is based on a powerful alliance of class and elite theory.'
—William Outhwaite, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Newcastle University, UK

About Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is an advanced surgical procedure. Arthroscopy is one of the best ways to diagnose and treat certain conditions of the knee.
Many patients receive answers from tests like x-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, and ultrasounds. In some cases, little information comes from these tests. This could be because many conditions present similarly. Inconclusive test results could lead to subpar treatment.
This is where working with a great team who can use knee arthroscopy to your advantage comes into play. Using arthroscopy, your surgeon can look inside the joint. Better yet, this procedure is minimally-invasive.
After creating a small incision, the arthroscope can do its job. This tool has a camera attached, which allows the surgeon to visualize and locate any problems. Arthroscopy helps surgeons see things that were not clear during previous tests.
Patients Come First: Schedule an Appointment Today
Conditions and Injuries that can benefit from Knee Arthroscopy
Many conditions and injuries to the knee joint can present the same way. With other testing methods, surgeons may not have been able to understand how damaged a joint is. With arthroscopy, the surgeon can visualize the joint and repair it all in one procedure.
This is especially helpful when identifying and treating:
- Meniscus Tears
- Torn Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
- Torn Posterior Cruciate Ligaments
- Luxated Patellas
- Fractures
- Loose Cartilage and Material in the Joint
- Cysts

Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy allows the surgeon to see and repair structures within the joint. This is because arthroscopes are also armed with tiny tools in addition to the camera. Highly-trained surgeons can then maneuver the tools and scope using robot-assisted techniques.
The result? Precision and faster recovery times! Arthroscopy differs from opening the knee joint through traditional surgical methods. It allows surgeons to repair structures while creating minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
Patients Come First: Schedule an Appointment Today
Recovering From Knee Arthroscopy
Before your procedure, your surgeon will discuss recovery with you. Knee arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure. It also comes with less risk of complications, which helps decrease recovery time.
Everyone heals at different speeds. Certain conditions or injuries may take longer to heal than others. Recovery from a knee arthroscopy typically takes between four to six weeks.
Unlike open surgeries, knee arthroscopy comes with minimal scarring. Many patients don't even need stitches! Instead, steri-strips and bandages close the site.
Your surgeon will discuss rest and physical therapy. It is important to listen to your body. Don't push yourself too soon after your arthroscopic procedure. You will want to make sure that you are still using your joint to preserve your strength and range of motion. Physical therapy may be needed to build strength in your knee joint.
Call Westchester Sport and Spine
Arthroscopy is one of the greatest advances in orthopedic surgery. It can treat many different injuries with minimal invasion, faster recovery times, and less financial investment. If you have been suffering from chronic pain, I encourage you to come in for an orthopedic consultation. WSS is always taking new patients!

Doodle of the Day - Watery Eye of the Tiger!
Every day the sports news discusses how Tiger Woods needs to get back on track. He has plummeted from the pinnacle of prosperity, revealing his deceit, schemes, lusts, and desires on the way down, those which he had kept concealed for so many years behind his flawless, prince-like facade.
Tiger spent time away from golf, went to sex therapy, had a divorce and a surgery or two, and apparently worked on picking up the pieces. When he returned to golf he struggled, but everyone figured it was just a matter of time before he returned to form as the number one golfer in the world.
Some thought he initially struggled on purpose for sympathy points, a public relations move to win back his fans and eventually, his sponsors. But that theory no longer seems accurate, as Tiger hasn't won a tournament in almost two years. Two weeks ago at the PGA Championship, he missed the cut by seven strokes! His world ranking is now 36, the lowest it has been in 15 years. The year 2011 has been an aberration for Woods, and his complete collapse is as newsworthy as his past dominance. Although the media hasn't been able to pinpoint what Tiger is doing wrong on the golf course, perhaps the explanation is as simple as karma.
By now we all know that Tiger Woods is human. And yes, he cries too!
For a larger view of the doodle, click on the above image. Feel free to "Like" Lucas Aardvark Art on Facebook and post comments there or on this blog. Thanks again for viewing the Doodle of the Day and the daily art, drawings, and paintings of Los Angeles artist Lucas Aardvark!
