Five Fun Facts about Rotterdam
Later on this month, we're off to Rotterdam for the first time, so here's some of the things we've got planned so far!
Staying on a barge
This is one of those trips that I built almost entirely around seeing a perfect accommodation listing on AirBnB. Yep, we're staying in a "Romantic Deckhouse on an Old Barge" located at Leuvehaven. There's even a ship's cat on board!
(Not tried AirBnB yet? New users can get £25 off the first booking by using this link!)
Cube Houses
Rotterdam's famous cube houses are an example of the city's quirky new architecture and utilisation of space. These houses are occupied but one is open for tourists, and another can be booked via AirBnB!
Eating and Drinking
I'm a big fan of places where you can find meat, cheese, bread, beer, coffee and cake all under one roof. And luckily Rotterdam embraces this scene. There's the iconic horseshoe-shaped Markthal with it's amazing food and flower themed murals. And there's Fenix Food Factory, a repurposed warehouse which has all of the above ticked off in one waterside location.
Day trips to The Hague, Delft and Gouda
Whilst there is plenty to explore in Rotterdam alone, it's proximity to other towns and cities in The Netherlands make it an ideal base. We have plenty of choice – of course there is Amsterdam, a city we have already visited, but at the moment we're trying to choose between The Hague (a beach, Escher and justice!), Delft (canals and pottery!) and Gouda (stroopwaffel and cheese!).
It's over to you folks…what are your Rotterdam recommendations? Particularly spots for brunch, street art, recommended day trips and Instagrammable spots… I welcome all suggestions! Keep an eye out on my Instagram and Facebook pages for live updates, and I can't wait to share my Dutch stories with you when we return!
Emmalene, there is a beautiful village just a tube ride from Rotterdam, called Scheidam. Full of fab old buildings and canals and windmills. Fletche will have a birthday. Andy lived there for a while and we have visited twice.
Excellent, I'll put it on the list 😃
This sounds like it's gonna be a great trip – I'm so curious to see inside the quirky house!!
Me too! Seems like there would be a lot of wasted space 🙂
Enjoy Em, I have no recommendations as we have not ventured there, YET 🙂
I'll let you know if it's worth a visit 😀
Good idea 🙂
Sounds like you'll have loads of fun!
Those houses are pretty amazing!!! I'd so love to visit there one day.
Hopefully I can provide you with more inspiration and wanderlust when I return!
So long since I passed through there that I think it's changed too much since 1985, to recommend! 🙂
I think it's an ever-evolving city – since I started researching there are so many new places springing up!
Would love to return, so much to see still. 🙂
I wanna stay in the cube house!
Can't help thinking you'd wake up a bit discombobulated! Hopefully we'll get the chance to visit the open-house one and I'll get some cool pics!
Sounds like you have a great trip planned! Those cube houses look amazing. Look forward to hearing about it x
Thanks Kerry, it looks like a really vibrant and quirky city so can't wait to visit 🙂
I've never been, but Rotterdam sounds amazing!! I'd be particularly interested to see those floating trees- I think that all of us need to find more creative ways to introduce more substantial greenery into our cities, and floating trees is ingenious!!!
I believe Rotterdam is a very forward-thinking city, with rooftop allotments and all sort of ingenious and eclectic ideas!
I live here! Hope you have an awesome time!
We've loved it Zoe, even with the terrible weather at times this weekend ☔☔☔
The beautiful Netherlands has many places to explore

Similar to watching different sporting events throughout the year or changing your wardrobe to accommodate the weather, wine enthusiasts drink seasonally. Seasonal wines generally focus on the visual appearance of the wine. In the warmer months, wine drinkers will flock to the rosés and crisp whites. When things start to cool off, the light-bodied white and rosé wines are put away and savory deep reds are enjoyed. Fall is a red wine-friendly time of year, but there are many full-bodied white wines that complement the cooler weather as well.
There are no formal guidelines to sipping wine seasonally, as long as you remember to enjoy it.
2009 Castle Rock Central Coast Pinot
This wine is lovely and rounded with supple red fruits intermingling with cherry juice and soft hints of wood. The structure is more than sound and it carries it through the solid midpalate with nice pinot character and classic notes of crushed red flowers and some spice notes.
2011 Reserve de L'Aube
There is a rich cherry flavor at first, but as the wine broadens it reveals ripe, peppery cassis fruit, brandy-soaked cherries and effusive notes of cocoa, brambleberry juice and red fruit sorbet. This is a good, solid wine with great backbone, structure and potential longevity.
2010 Rodney Strong Chalkhill Chardonnay
Enjoy this creamy California favorite. This chardonnay is filled with toasty vanilla and spices perfect for sipping by a fireplace. A wonderful find at an awesome price point.
2010 Trimbach Gewurztraminer
The color of this wine is reminiscent of beautiful golden autumn leaves. With a cinnamon, nutmeg and rose petal scent, it is perfect to pack for an autumn picnic in the mountains or for enjoying with your favorite spicy fusion dish.
2009 L'Heritier des Grams Blanc de Bordeaux
Bid adieu to your ennui with this vivacious 100 percent sauvignon blanc. Medium-bodied with touches of hazelnut and blackberries. A perfect pairing for tapas and fresh vegetables.
2010 Vinamas Garnacha/Tempranillo
This wine literally means "Spirit of Spain." It's a blend of 70 percent tempranillo and 30 percent garnache at an unbeatable price point. This balanced blend is bursting with raspberry and blackberry notes with a smoky oak finish. Perfect for parties or snuggling up with a special someone on a quiet evening in the cool weather.

Dimension of the double bass tops: (1200x340x60/12mm)x2
We should give great importance to the double bass tops. As much as the backs and sides or maybe even more.
The best wood for the double bass top is the Spruce, the acclaimed European Spruce. The excellence of the instrument is thanks to this wood.
In Maderas Barber we offer you the highest quality tops for double bass. Discover the value and beauty of Spruce .

Putnam continues to show every sign of a thriving seller's market, with low levels of inventory stifling sales growth but driving meaningful price appreciation. For the quarter, sales were down just a tick, but prices were up over 3% on average and almost 6% at the median. And that strong quarter closed a robust 2018, with sales up 2% and prices rising 6% on average and almost 5% at the median. Indeed, the condo market was downright frothy, with sharply reduced inventory holding back sales but driving the full‑year pricing up almost 15% on average and 19% at the median. We think that this kind of price appreciation is not sustainable over the long‑term, but that low levels of inventory, coupled with high demand, will continue to drive meaningful appreciation through the winter and spring markets.

I have a series of astronauts landing on an asteroid. I'd like to know the threshold of mass for them to not fly off into space. Specifications:
- Assumption is all astronauts are under 180cm, 80kg.
- Assumption is an astronaut may jump lightly and not fly off into space.
- Request is a comfortable radius of said asteroid, which has an average density of 2 g/cm³ (pretty dense), with a mostly spheroid shape.
- Weight and height includes equipment (this is far future); astronauts are fit.
In my story I'd like to see my astronauts be able to jump up into the 'sky,' but able to come back down without flying out forever.
If there are other factors I should include, please let me know. Also, I will accept a magnitude-of-order rather than an impossibly precise answer (thus not hard-science).
EDIT: AND I KNOW THIS AFFECTS THE ANSWER - 80kg, not 30kg. I will still accept the best answer if it used 30kg due to my error, but showed the math.

Short rant incoming, so be warned!
I can understand the appeal of television, sure. With the wide variety of content and whatnot. But in the end, it's all stupid, mindless consuming of information. All people do is hang on a couch and stare at the same point for long periods of time, without them getting involved in any way.
Sure, there's some really informative channels and documentaries out there, and TV is a good place to catch up with the news, but other than that I don't really like it. Especially when my sister sits in front of the TV all day watching nothing but silly cartoons and terribly dubbed series that have no good plot or anything whatsoever.
But hey, I shouldn't care, right? I do. Television need more informative channels, especially ones that appeal to kids. Or maybe those exist, but we've dumbed down the younger generations so much that they're just not interested in them.
…and biased. At the very sight of subtitles my sis's all "oh boring" just because it's in English. Like what the hell?
Do you watch the telly often?

Culture vs. Skills
If you haven't caught our podcast series yet, RecruitingDaily's William Tincup & Talemetry skimmed the halls of HRTech2019 for insight. Cultural compatibility was a highlight, along with soft skills and core competencies.
We asked everyone the same question: What skills do you feel we're hiring for in 2025?
And we recorded the answers. So what does that mean for you?
2025 Talent Acquisition Landscape predictions from some of the most influential characters in the field right before your eyes. #WINNING.
Our last episode featured Jeanette Maister and Jaqueline Kuhn, where they discussed the importance of developing accountability and problem-solving skills.
Training is so 2019.
In today's installment, William poses our question to Bill D'Amico, VP of Partnerships at Talemetry, Bill dives into the value and necessity of cultural compatibility.
He explains that companies are already beginning to recruit those who don't possess prior training needed for the position.
They do, however, fit well into the organization's culture, and the company is willing to invest in those people.
Bill has already seen this happen with his daughter, who was recruited after an internship and then enrolled into a Java training program. Companies will teach hard skills when they see a candidate that is adaptable and willing to take on new challenges.
Listen Up
We'd give you more, but you have to listen to the podcast for Bill's full scope of 2025.
And because we like bonuses, enjoy a few words from William about where AI technology will take talent acquisition. Why is it the new "shiny red ball" of HR?

Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Papers everywhere, empty coffee cups, memos coming in, and nothing going out, a typical day at work for most people. Lack of organization is to blame for this common scenario. Planning and organization are essential skills in the workplace. In today's busy world, effective time management is key in reaching your full potential. Follow these simple steps to better plan and organize your work, and watch your productivity level rise.
You can begin to organize your work space after you have cleaned off your desk. Create an in/out box. Keep only current projects on your desk; everything else should be filed away. If your desk is still cluttered, you may want to consider purchasing a small shelf to keep nearby.
Organize your files. First, you need to create a filing system. Next, categorize and organize the files, getting rid of anything that you no longer need.
Organize your computer files. It is easy to forget about old or unfinished files on computers and they can slow your system down. Delete any unused files and create a more efficient folder system.
Create a to-do list. You can use a computer program such as Microsoft Outlook, or a paper agenda depending on your preference. Try to plan tasks according to priority and complexity. Complete the most important tasks first. Keep a notebook with you when you are away from your desk to jot down new tasks. Add them to your list when you return to your desk.
Deal with paperwork as you receive it. File it, delegate it, or act on it immediately to avoid piles of paper accumulating on your desk.
Setting goals will help you get more accomplished. By breaking long-term goals into shorter-term goals, projects seem less overwhelming and easier to complete. Try a reward system for completing goals. When you complete five tasks, take a coffee break or surf the web and take an e-break.

This experiment provides evidence that training in a systems perspective could help auditors analyze complex relationships between accounting data. This could be used to set appropriate analytics expectations and, more importantly, provide a credible way to determine whether management's representations are well-grounded or not. This method also appears to require less mental effort to implement, since it moves the complicated relationship structure out of memory and onto a model. Given the added complexity of many estimates in today's companies, systematic methods of processing information like a systems perspective may help to simplify the analysis of the estimates.
For more information on this study, please contact Billy Brewster.
Brewster, B. E. 2011. How a systems perspective improves knowledge acquisition and performance in analytical procedures. The Accounting Review 86 (3), 915-943.
Understanding complicated relationships with multiple links between information is difficult, as people have limited memory to keep all the relationships straight. This problem is evident in setting analytics expectations, as there are many reasons why accounting numbers change from year to year (and the reasons are often related to each other in varying, nonlinear ways). In order to avoid a "reductionist" perspective where pieces of information are considered in isolation and linearly, auditors may be able to construct a better mental model of the situation by using a "systems perspective". This involves considering how all the parts of a system are related as well as their behavior from how they interact. Using a systems perspective (compared to a reductionist perspective) is predicted to be more accurate, more efficient, better able to detect management representations that are inconsistent with the evidence, and better able to integrate new information into their expectations accurately.
In an experiment conducted prior to 2008, undergraduate accounting students (juniors/seniors) are given training in evaluating stocks and flows (systems perspective) or business risks (reductionist perspective). They then learn about an audit client and its industry which has a particularly complicated relationship between multiple factors over time and the resulting product price. Using the technique they were taught, they then graph the product price over time. The students are then provided management's estimate of the price and evaluate its credibility. Finally, the participants learn new information about the industry and are asked to factor it into their price evaluation.

South Florida has long been known as a winter getaway for Northern and Midwestern visitors. Many of our John Knox Village residents enjoyed those getaways before moving south to the Fort Lauderdale area as permanent residents…and then to John Knox Village to secure their futures with the life care advantage.
As year-round residents, we can now enjoy our favorite restaurants, cultural attractions and arts and performance venues as they become less crowded and more available.
The musical and theatre arts continue during the summer in South Florida, albeit with a more abbreviated schedule. John Knox Village residents are frequent visitors to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA) for concerts, ballet, dramatic theatre and musicals. The venue is enchantingly set along the Riverwalk and the New River. A visit to the BCPA can include a stroll down the Riverwalk to the many cafes, restaurants and lounges that line the River.
According to the BCPA Website (www.browardcenter.org), prior its opening in 1991, "The city's main performance halls: Fort Lauderdale's War Memorial Auditorium, built in the 1940s, and the Parker Playhouse, constructed in the late 1950s, could not keep pace with the growing demands for the expanding South Florida cultural community."
The BCPA includes the Au-Rene Theater, which is the main performance hall (capacity 2,700) for the Miami City Ballet, Florida Grand Opera, Broadway Across America tours and select individual concerts. The intimate Amaturo Theater (capacity 590) hosts community theatre, emerging dance companies and choirs, chamber, jazz, folk and symphonic groups. The Abdo New River Room seats 500 theatre style or 240 banquet style and is a conference/banquet/performance facility perfect for cabaret, dinner theatre and speaker programs.
John Knox Village residents Paul and Sally Loree are frequent visitors to the BCPA. The Lorees' love for the performing arts dates back to their earlier years in the Buffalo, NY area. She was involved in costumes and local theatre in Franklinville, NY, and Paul performed several times at the Grand Island Barn Theatre.
They have brought that appreciation for performance with them as John Knox Village residents. "We are season ticket holders for the Symphony of the Americas, they are very talented," Sally said. "We frequent the Gold Coast Jazz Concert Series, and the Miami City Ballet is fantastic. They are world class.
"We attend the Florida Grand Opera performances at the Broward Center and are big supporters of the Young Opera Singers. We follow them whenever and wherever we can."
In fact, the Lorees followed the Young Opera Singers to a special Village Centre Auditorium performance arranged in conjunction with John Knox Village residents Sam Townsend and Harriet Mertz in March.
Sam is a long-time supporter of the performing arts in South Florida. He is a gold card carrying member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. He had been involved in the performing arts for decades at the Parker Playhouse and the old War Memorial prior to the opening of the BCPA. As a nine-year resident of John Knox Village, Sam has been an influential member of the Activities Committee.
In 2013, Sam and Harriet were honored by the Florida Grand Opera as "Impresario" and "Diva" for their continuing support. Sam joined the Florida Grand Opera when he first came to Florida and sang in the chorus, then later helped with staging and wardrobe. He donated funds to help pay for health insurance for the Young Opera Singers. Harriet contributed to the young artists' voice coaching.
In addition to his love of opera, Sam is a supporter of local community theatre. "I used to belong to an organization called the South Florida Theatre League," he said. "The League promoted local theatre with a hot line and as an information source. All those theatres participating cooperated in a 'buy one ticket get one free' program, as a way of supporting community theatre."
Sam said one of the good local community theatres is the Stage Door in Coral Springs. "I appreciate the Stage Door, the performers, and how they stage elaborate productions in such a small theatre. I know from experience it is very challenging."
Sue and Bill Allison have been residents of John Knox Village since October of 2012 and are also avid community theatre fans. The Allisons still work for their 40-year-old company Appraisal Services and have lived in Pompano Beach since 1964.
Sue agrees with Sam in praise of the local theatre productions at Stage Door. "I just like local theatre and Stage Door does a great job," she said. "We went with a group a few weeks ago to see 'A Chorus Line.' We have plans to go with another group for the production of 'Bell, Book and Candle.'"
"Anyone who has not been to the Stage Door should take the opportunity this summer," Sam said. "It is a worthwhile visit." Upcoming shows this summer are "Bell, Book and Candle" (through June 21), "Sisters of Swing" (June 5 through July 12) and "WaistWatchers The Musical" (July 10 through August 16).
John Knox Village residents Diane and John Dalsimer are serious buffs when it comes to the performing arts and particularly good theatrical drama. They are frequent visitors to the BCPA and other performance venues north into Palm Beach County. The Dalsimers enjoy great concert music and have already signed up for tickets to the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts (West Palm Beach) for performances by the Philadelphia, Cleveland, Munich, Toronto and Buffalo Symphonies, as well as the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in the Regional Arts Concert Series.
In addition, they both appreciate wonderful community theatre and travel to various venues in search of captivating drama. "We are not big on musicals," Diane said. "We like to be challenged by what we see in drama."
The Dalsimers have been John Knox Village residents for 10 years and have followed theatre for decades going back to their time in Philadelphia. "In Philly, we would go to 35 to 50 theatre productions a year, and we appreciate a good thought-provoking production," John said. "We like to get together and discuss what we have seen with other theatre goers."
They point out one of their favorite theatre groups is the Palm Beach Dramaworks on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. "The most memorable recent performance was a play named 'My Old Lady' by Israel Horowitz, and we just saw 'Buried Child' by Sam Shepard. It was very powerful," Diane said. "We like Dramaworks because they are doing brand new plays, encouraging playwrights to submit new works for development."
John said they have the opportunity for feedback at Dramaworks. "We go to 'talk backs' after the show. Some of the actors will come out and we in the audience get to ask questions. We purposely go to those performances and Diane asks wonderful questions."
There is one more show on the performance schedule at Dramaworks: "Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill" by Lanie Robertson through June 7.
The Dalsimers travel extensively and often music and theatre is integral to their plans. This past January they traveled with Road Scholar to New York to study opera. Road Scholar is a program of adult learning where educational subjects are myriad and venues are worldwide.
During their opera trip, they spent a week getting to know the ins and outs of the Metropolitan Opera.
"We saw 'La Boheme' and 'The Merry Widow,'" Diane said. "We got to meet the important people at the Met. We had lectures by singers and production personnel. We took the tour and saw how everything is done back stage. One of the singers even came in to tell us how an opera singer learns to use voice."
The Dalsimers are planning a summer trip to visit seven children and 13 grandchildren from North Carolina through Boston. On their way, they will stop at the renowned Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC to enjoy the variety of: opera; theatre; dance; and chamber, symphonic, choral and jazz music.
From Boston they will then meet the Lorees in western New York to travel to the Shaw Festival, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario for a variety of theatre and to the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario for Shakespeare performances.
While the Lorees and Dalsimers enjoy their travels, residents can check the offerings closer to home at the Pompano Beach Arts.
Pompano Beach Arts is a unifying force for arts and culture throughout the entire city and is comprised of the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, the City of Pompano Beach and the Creative City Collaborative. Included are programs at the City's key cultural venues, including Bailey Contemporary, Pompano Beach Amphitheater, Ashanti Cultural Arts and the upcoming Cultural Center.

Darjeeling: A rising tide of disillusioned Bimal Gurung supporters seems to be bursting through the floodgates.
A day after Binita Roka, a close associate of the former Gorkha Janmukti Morcha chief during last year's Gorkhaland agitation likened Gurung to mercurial Delhi Sultan Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq, another of his confidants said Gurung had led a movement devoid of "strategy and planning".
"Bimal Gurung led an agitation which only let to lot of poor people getting jailed, a not-so-educated leader doomed the community…. Binay Tamang and Anit Thapa drank poison to save our community. We would like to thank the two," Barod Thapa, a former president of Morcha youth wing Yuwa Morcha from Kalimpong, said. The reference was to current party chief Tamang and his confidant Anit.
Barod was reported to have earlier extended support to the Binay-Anit camp but this was the first time he did so publicly. Later on Wednesday, Barod was made vice-president of the Yuwa Morcha's central committee.

Why do so many students love video games more than school? It's not because there's something magical about video games. It's because games — both digital and analog — reliably provide seven key things that all of us love. On December 10th, Greg Toppo explored these seven things, with an eye toward both learning how games work and what teachers can take from them to make the classroom a more vital, inclusive, equitable and enjoyable place.

The culture of being "perfect" and young is very distressing for many of those who do not feel "perfect" for whatever reason. In extreme cases, stretch marks is more than capable of ruining a life, sometimes to the point of being suicidal. Nobody talks about it much. Psychologists and dermatologists seem to underestimate or ignore the effect of stretch marks on mental health, but the fact is that in the long run, stretch marks afflicted people are prone to depression.
Thankfully, there are ways to naturally treat, minimize and effectively deal with stretch marks without having to resort to drastic, extreme or expensive measures. Turn your stretch marks tale of despair into a natural solution success story!
I just wanted to say a big: THANK YOU! Thank you for this awesome guide that has helped me to learn so much about why I got those stretch marks in the first place. I got a lot of them during pregnancy, my belly looked like a zebra! It was horrible and although I lost the weight I didn't want anybody to see me in my bikini, I was so embarrassed about my purple stretch marks.
I decided to give one of your home made cream recipes a shot, and followed your nutrition guidelines – after 3 weeks I started to notice a significant improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks.Thank you so much!

I already got some stretch marks during puberty on my thighs and arms – that was enough for people to stare at me in shorts, and when I got pregnant they started to show over my breasts, stomach and on the inside of my legs. Disgusting! I tried different products to get rid of them and have already spent fortunes on different products! Some creams have helped a little, but then my cousin told me about the recipes in your book, and since I started applying the cocoa butter cream that I made in my own kitchen I'm already noticing my stretch mark disappearing!

I want to thank you so much for the advice in your book! I am just 16 and already have stretch marks on my legs and breasts. Since my mum gave me your book I realised the importance of choosing the right stretch mark product and doing light exercise to make them dissapear. Now, after just a few weeks I don't see the stretch marks on my breasts anymore, and the marks on my legs have shrinked and faded a lot!
— Detroit
I was a pretty fat kid, and when I grew quickly during puberty I got several stretch marks on my legs and breasts. Later, when I got pregnant, I noticed stretch marks appearing on my abdomen and many new ones on my breasts.
Thank you so much for recommending the most efficient products, exercises and nutrition tips that have helped me reduce my existing stretch marks to hardly visible and preventing new ones during pregnancy! I didn't get any new stretch marks since I started applying the home made stretch mark cream you recommended. My skin is as smooth as it was when I was 18, thank you so much!

The world is changing fast and to keep up you need local knowledge with global context.
Bell Pottinger apology insufficient, unacceptable – #SaveSA demands full disclosure
Save South Africa media response to Bell Pottinger apology:
Read more: Bell Pottinger's full, unequivocal, absolute apology for selling Gupta lies
The Save South Africa campaign demands full disclosure from British PR firm Bell Pottinger about the exact nature of its dirty tricks campaigns while contracted to the Guptas' Oakbay companies.
An apology is insufficient and totally unacceptable in these circumstances.
Bell Pottinger – acting in partnership with its client – sowed racial mistrust, hate and race-baiting, and divided society. Through its work, this British company has further polarized South African society and left deep scars in our social fabric.
It cannot be left to hide behind spin and say it was "misled". This attempted naivety is unacceptable from a company with a global history of disinformation and dirty tricks.
We therefore demand to know who it worked with in South Africa, what its brief was, and who provided that brief – and, most importantly, who it was "misled" by.
To #BellPottinger: "Sorry" not good enough. Damage is done to SA. You clearly did your homework. Now its #accountability time! #Ukufihla
— OUTA (@OUTASA) July 6, 2017
We also demand to know:
- Whether it channeled money to front organisations which themselves fuelled even further division, such as Black First Land First and the so-called Decolonisation Foundation, as alleged in the report released by the SACP.
- What its relationship was with the Gupta propaganda arms, such as ANN7 and the New Age.
- Whether it has done work for any other entities that form part of the Gupta web of influence, including captured South African government departments and state-owned entities.
- Whether it continues to do work for South African clients.
Why they apologised. ??????SA Twitter??? https://t.co/lh7nH9skrI
— Ferial Haffajee (@ferialhaffajee) July 6, 2017
It is public pressure on Bell Pottinger that got us this far, and resulted in two major victories: the termination of its contract with Oakbay, and its public apology. But we must keep up the pressure, and demand full disclosure. Only then can we begin to unravel the mess that Bell Pottinger – and the Guptas – have caused, and address the damage they have left in their wake.
#BellPottinger 'apology' won't undo the damage done & the demonising of so many good South Africans. Tell all & pay back

"Live fast, die young": Austrian-born former musical prodigy Falco and his classic '80s hits
Austria's Johann "Falco" Hölzel remains the first and only German-language artist to ever score a #1 hit in the U.S. Night Flight interviewed him for our Falco Video Profile, originally airing on December 20, 1986; watch it now on Night Flight Plus!
Falco was not a "one hit wonder," however, as many have claimed, having several international hits in addition to "Rock Me Amadeus," including "Der Kommissar," "Vienna Calling," "Jeanny," "The Sound of Musik," and "Coming Home (Jeanny Part II, One Year Later)."
Falco's estate claims he's sold some forty million albums and twenty million singles over the past four decades, making him the #1 Austrian performer of all time with twenty-three Top 40 songs charting in Austria alone.
Falco was born Johann Hölzel on February 19, 1957, in a working class neighborhood in the Margareten district of Vienna, Austria.
Then as now, Austria is best known as the birthplace of great classical composers — including Haydn, Mahler, Mozart, and Schubert, among others— and until the '80s, they had not yet produced any charting pop artists.
At age five, young Johann ("Hans") turned out to be a music prodigy, and quickly dubbed "the new Mozart."
At sixteen, he was enrolled in the Vienna Conservatoire, but he became so frustrated that he left school because he wanted to play jazz, rock, punk and pop instead.
In 1977, age twenty, he relocated to West Berlin, Germany, and ended up playing bass guitar and singing in several local bar bands, including Drahdiwaberl, an anarchist punk outfit known for their wild onstage antics.
Their Falco-penned hit "Ganz Wein" ("All Vienna") — about rampant heroin use across the country — was banned by Austrian authorities, possibly leading to the success of their 1979 album Psycho Today.
By then, Hölzel had used several pseudonyms — including John Hudson and John DiFalco — but settled on the singular Falco ("falcon"), inspired by German skier Falko Weissflog.
He was soon approached by manager Markus Spiegel to re-record "Ganz Wein" as a solo artist, this new version appearing on his 1982 debut album Einzelhalf ("solitary confinement").
Einzelhalf's biggest hit, however, would end up being "Der Kommissar" ("The Police Inspector"), reportedly musically inspired by Rick James' "Superfreak," as well as a nursery rhyme sung in a children's game, Plumpssack.

Falco wrote "Der Kommissar" for his friend, actor Lukas Resetarits, who played a police inspector on an Austrian TV show "Kottan Ermittelt" ("Kottan Investigates").
Einzelhalf topped the charts in Austria and the Netherlands, selling seven million copies, although "Der Kommissar" failed to break Falco in the UK and the U.S. despite charting in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, and several other countries.
It would end up being covered by British rockers After the Fire (featuring former Yes keyboardist Peter Banks), whose version was a Top Five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1983.
Falco's next album, Junge Römer ("Young Romans") failed to provide any hits, despite charting at #1 in Austria.
For his third album, 1985's Falco 3, he began experimenting with English lyrics to try to broaden his global appeal, partnering up with two Dutch producers, Robe & Ferdi Bolland.
He also resurrected an old idea about mixing classical music with electro synth-pop and a German-sung rap (with occasional English words or phrases) about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
A child prodigy too, Mozart was probably the first rock star, throwing wild parties and bedding lots of Viennese babes before his short life had its tragic, miserable end.
Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" had germinated for so long that when it finally arrived it felt like a parody of the Mozart character depicted in Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus, and the subsequent Milos Forman's Oscar-winning blockbuster film.
Regardless, Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus" struck the right note with global audiences in 1986, in part due to a popular music video — featuring his old pals from Drahdiwaberl — in which he appeared in a powdered fright wig and short knee britches.
By the end of '85, "Rock Me Amadeus" was a #1 hit in Austria, Germany, England, South Africa, and Canada.
It also charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks, becoming the only German-language hit to reach to top the U.S. charts on March 29, 1986.
Falco 3 produced several additional hits: "The Sound of Musik" (which blasted then-Austrian president Kurt Waldheim), "Vienna Calling" (#18 U.S.), and "Jeanny," which topped the German pop charts even though the track, about a prostitute, was banned by radio due to what many thought was a glorification of rape because the lyrics were penned from the first-person perspective of a stalker.
Always the perfectionist, Falco felt considerable pressure for follow-up hit albums and singles, and spent the rest of his career trying to top "Rock Me Amadeus."
1986's Emotional scored another hit with the title track, but 1988's Wiener Blut was less successful.
His 1992 album Nachtflug ("Night Flight") featured "Titanic," a #1 hit in Austria for seventeen weeks, but he never charted again in the U.S.
In the mid-Nineties, Falco moved to the Dominican Republic, where he worked on TV pilots and recorded a comeback album, Egoisten, releasing one final single, "Naked."
It's possible that, like Mozart, Falco may have known he wasn't going to live very long, as both "Der Kommisar" and "Rock Me Amadeus" have lyrics mentioning a "live fast, die young" lifestyle.
On February 6, 1998 — two weeks before his 41st birthday — Falco died from severe head injuries after his SUV was hit by a speeding bus on a mountain road near Puerto Plata.
The title track of his posthumously-released album, Out of the Dark — it contained the line "Do I have to die to live?" — would be his last charting hit.

Diamondbacks to continue promotion with Papa John's, emphasizing ties to local owners
The Diamondbacks are continuing their promotion with Papa John's for the time being.
This comes in the wake of founder John Schnatter resigning from his role as company chairman on Wednesday. He admitted earlier this week that he used the N-word during a company conference call in May.
Repercussions in the sports world have followed as well. Major League Baseball has indefinitely suspended the league-wide "Papa Slam" promotion with the chain, which gave discounts following grand slams. On top of that, a number of teams have cut individual promotions.
But so far, the Diamondbacks are not among them, instead emphasizing their local ties.
"We are glad that at a national level, Papa John's took swift action to deal with the issue," the team said in a statement. "From a team standpoint, our partnership is with local owner/operators in Phoenix and completely separate from the national company.
"That promotion – the deal that gives fans 50 percent off on the day after a D-Backs victory – will continue."
As of now, the promotion is still up on the Diamondbacks' website. The 50-percent-off deal applies to all pizzas at the regular menu price and is good after any Diamondbacks win, home or away.
The May conference call during which Schnatter used the highly offensive racial slur was a call to discuss future public relations problems for the company. Last fall, Schnatter criticized leadership in the NFL, as he believed that players protesting police brutality had harmed his pizza sales. Following backlash from that, he stepped down as the chief executive officer in January.

If you have ever wondered how all those fuel nozzles at your gas station actually work…
…then you have come to the right place.
It's a simple, yet complex, arrangement of mechanical components—linkages, valves, springs, diaphragms, seals—that work together to make these fascinating contraptions function.
Please explain…
How Gas Station Nozzles Work?
Let's have a quick review of couple of concepts that we established in our physics classes, the understanding of which would be required to fully grasp the mechanics behind the functioning of a gas station nozzle.
- We know that a fluid flows from a high-pressure area to a low-pressure area.
- We know that the pressure in vacuum is less than the atmospheric pressure.
Now that we have reviewed the essential concepts, we can press the lever on the fuel nozzle to see how the whole thing works.
As you press the lever, it opens the main poppet valve
This poppet valve allows the gasoline to flow through the body of the fuel nozzle. However, this flow only lasts for a short term. To continue to draw more gasoline through the nozzle, the contraption has to pull-in additional force to assist the gasoline flow. That is where the design of the device helps itself.
The initial flow of gasoline causes an anti-drain valve to move downwards
The downward movement of the valve, creates a low-pressure area within the fuel nozzle. This low-pressure area is connected to the spout of the gas pump nozzle via a tube—the point of insertion being a small hole present at the bottom of spout. This hole is exposed to the external environment, allowing air to enter.
When the vacuum is created, the resulting pressure drop causes air to flow from the small hole, all the way through the tube and into the vacuum space. There it mixes with gasoline, and the flow of air causes gasoline to maintain its own flow.
This flow continues until the gasoline level in the fuel tank reaches a certain point
At this point, the filled gasoline covers the small hole through which the air has been entering. When the hole is covered, instead of air, gasoline starts flowing through it and all the way up to the vacuum space.
Since gasoline is denser than air, the pressure changes in the vacuum space. This pressure change causes a diaphragm to be sucked, which then shuts off the main poppet valve. Consequently, the gasoline supply from the mains is cut off.
And this is how the fuel nozzles at your gas station works.
