If you tick 'Yes' to this question, you must submit by 16 May 2016 verifiable evidence that demonstrates any of the following:
- you are farming at least 26 hectares of eligible land, or
- your direct payment receipts are equivalent to at least 5% of your non agricultural receipts, or
- your receipts from agricultural activities represent at least 40% of total receipts obtained in the most recent tax year for which information is available.
You should submit your evidence no later than 16 May 2016. If it is received between 17 May and 10 June you will be subject to a late claim penalty.
Providing you meet the relevant criteria do you want to apply to establish entitlements and/or to have the value of existing entitlements increased to the regional average value through the Regional Reserve in 2016 as a:
- young farmer, or
- new entrant
Read the scheme guidance (Guide to Young Famers' Payment 2016 and/or Guide to the Regional Reserve 2016) to ensure you can meet the eligibility/evidence requirements. If you are applying to either scheme for the first time in 2016, applied unsuccessfully in 2015, or were to provide further information in respect of your successful 2015 application (i.e. accounts / tax returns etc within 14 months of commencing your business) you should complete the Young Farmers' Payment/Regional Reserve Registration Form and personally take it, with all the required supporting evidence, to your local DARD Direct office
This question relates to a crop diversification exemption which is mainly (although not exclusively) of interest to specialist potato and vegetable growers who meet both of the requirements stated below:
(i) More than 50% of the total arable land you declare in 2016 was not declared by you in 2015; and
(ii) All of the arable land you declare in 2016 must be cultivated with a different crop to that cultivated in 2015.
Do you want to apply for this exemption on the basis that you meet both these requirements?
Farming Organically – fields farmed organically are exempt from Greening requirements. If you farm fields organically and wish to avail of the exemption, please tick 'Yes'. You should enter the name and registration number of your organic body.
Payment In Euro – we will pay Basic Payment, Greening and any associated Young Farmers' Payment in Pounds Sterling unless you wish to be paid in Euro (€). If you prefer to be paid in Euro, please check the button. Please note that you must also have a UK Euro BACS account
Claim for ANC – you will only see this question if you have clicked at Step 1 that you wish to claim ANC. You should click to indicate which type(s) of stock you will keep during the qualifying period. If you have suckler cows, please tick the box – we will be able to check our records. If you have breeding ewes or goats, or female deer, you should enter the number of each type you hold in the appropriate boxes. If you hold none, you should enter a zero (0) in each box.
Do you farm land in England, Scotland or Wales as part of this farm business? - if you tick 'Yes' to this question, please put a check any or all of the regions you farm in, and if you are also claiming Basic Payment and Greening in any of these region(s).
Farm Woodland Premium Scheme - if you have previously registered for this scheme, you will be shown the area from your existing agreement. If you wish to claim on a different area, please amend the area in the second box.

Cross compliance Questions– you should answer these questions with the appropriate Yes or No answer.
When you have completed the question at Step 2, you should click 'next' to proceed to Step 3 – Land Details. Anything completed at this stage will be saved as you progress to Stage 3.
If you have missed any questions at Step 2, these will be highlighted and you will have to provide the appropriate answer to proceed.
Step 3 - land details
On this page, you will be able to confirm the fields you wish to claim for and make changes to the information we hold.
There are 3 parts to this page:
- Summary of all field data: This is a summary of all your land details. This will be updated when you save any changes in your field data table.
- Change my fields using a map: Here you can make changes to your land details using a map. This is the preferred option.
- Change my fields using a table: Here you can make changes to your land details using a traditional table. Note that some changes are only possible when using the map.
Summary of all field data
Total number of fields – this is the total number of fields declared on your application.
Total Maximum Eligible Area (MEA) – this is the total of the MEA of all fields on your application.
Total BPS Area – this is the total area that you want to claim for Basic Payment (and associated Greening Payment). Please note that this area is subject to checks and may not be the final area on which payment is calculated.
Total Area for ANC – this will be the total are you have claimed for ANC Scheme. Please note that this area is subject to checks and may not be the final area on which payment is calculated.
Total Area classified as permanent grassland - permanent grassland is land which has not been part of an arable rotation at any point in the previous five years. The total shown here will be the total MEA for all fields with a 'PG' field classification.
Total Area classified as permanent grassland sensitive -. The total shown here will be the total MEA for all fields with a 'PGS' field classification.
Total Area classified as arable – if a field was declared in an arable use in any of the last 5 years, it will be classified as Arable for 2016. If you activate 10 or more hectares of land which are classified as Arable, you may have a specific greening requirement on your claim for 2015. The total shown here will be the total MEA for all fields with an 'AR' field classification.
Total Area classified as permanent crop – land planted in a permanent crop (a crop which would be expected to remain 5 years or more e.g. an orchard) will be classified as a permanent crop from the year it was planted (declared on a Single Application) until the year the permanent crop is removed. The total shown here will be the total MEA for all fields with a 'PC' field classification.
Total Entitlements – total number of entitlements are shown. Click on the message to see a breakdown of the value of each type of entitlement held at the current date. Please note that any trades still not processed will not be shown in these totals.
Crop diversification
Greening summary – crop diversification - if you have more than 10 Hectares of land shown as having a field classification of 'AR' (Arable) you may be required to undertake crop diversification unless more than 75% of your land is covered by grasses or is land lying fallow. Full details can be found in the 2016 Guide to the Greening Payment.
EFA – Ecological Focus Areas
If your business has more than 15 Hectares of 'AR' classified land, you may also have an EFA requirement. The application calculates the equivalent area needed to satisfy this requirement. If you have an EFA requirement, you will be prompted to return and complete when the EFA facility is available in early April.
Change my fields using the map
This new feature will allow you to do a range of options directly on the map. These changes will then be reflected on your field data table below. Any changes affecting the eligible area (e.g. change a field boundary, split a field) will mean that the Field Area and MEA of amended fields will show on your table as 'unverified'. You can use these areas for claiming BPS and/or ANC but the areas are subject to confirmation by LPIS.
You can use this option to do the following changes to your maps:
Add a field to your claim - this will add fields to your field data table that you are actively farming and have control of. You do not have to own these fields.
Remove a field from my claim - this will remove fields from your claim that you are not actively farming. If you have a field on your application that another business is actively farming and claiming BPS and/or ANC, you should remove it from your application.
Change a field boundary - you can use this feature to amend the boundary of a field; you will be able to increase or decrease the size of the field.
Change a feature - if you have an 'ineligible' feature (e.g. Hard areas, trees, water etc) you can amend the size or shape.
Create a feature - you can add a new 'ineligible' feature to a field
Remove a feature - you can remove an existing feature, this will normally increase the MEA of the field if the area is now in agricultural use.
Split a field in two – you will be able to split a field in two and show the new boundary. If you need to split a field more than once, you can do this in stages. The application will apply the correct field IDs to the new fields and these will be shown on your field data table on the Land Details screen.
Merge two fields – you can merge two fields which share a common boundary. The application will provide the correct updated areas and field ID for the new field.
Further detailed information on how to make changes to your map are contained within the "How to amend your maps online" guidance.
Change my fields using a table
You can make changes to your land details using the table shown. You can use the table to merge two fields but you will need to access the map to split a field or change boundaries. The online map is the preferred option for submitting map amendments, but you may submit a paper LPIS correction form if you don't wish to use the map.
Your fields
Field data filter – you can use this to filter your list of fields by Field Number, classification etc.
Your fields –we will normally pre-populate your fields based on information held on LPIS for your business.
Field Number - each Field ID is made up from the Farm Survey Number and Field Number
Field area - this is the LPIS total field area as shown on your map – if the area shows as 'unverified', this may because you have made a change to your map and this has yet to be confirmed as new area by LPIS.
Land Status - Your land status will be Severely Disadvantaged (SDA), Disadvantaged (DA) or Lowland (LL).
Field Classification - your land will be classified as : Permanent Grassland (PG), Permanent Grassland Sensitive land that cannot be ploughed (PGS), Permanent Crop (PC) , Arable (AR) or Unclassified (UC)
MEA - the MEA is our assessment of the maximum eligible area that you can use to claim Basic Payment and/or ANC in each field and is based on the boundary features less ineligible features that we have shown on your map. Ensure that you check the MEA is accurate before claiming; you should use the GSAA map function to make the appropriate changes to update the eligible areas of your fields. Any changes you make to your map will be reflected in the claim form land details screen but they will be shown as 'Unverified' until authorised by the Department. You can still claim payment up to the 'unverified' MEA, subject to normal scheme rules.
Usage - you must select an appropriate option from the drop-down menu to tell us what eligible usage(s) are on the field in 2016 – you can amend this information as necessary. If the code you need isn't listed, you should check with the Department before submitting.
BPS area (ha) - you must enter the area of the field associated with the 'Usage' selected that you wish to use to activate for Basic Payment. The area of the field should be entered to 2 decimal places e.g. '12.32' or '32.00' and be equal to, or less than the MEA for that field. If the area you are activating is higher than the MEA shown, you can still submit your application. You can ignore the warning but you must notify or have notified LPIS of the change in MEA by amending your map online or completing a LPIS Correction Form.
ANC area (ha) - you must enter the area of the field associated with the 'Usage' selected that you wish to use to claim for payment of ANC. You can only claim payment of ANC for field with the usage code FR1 or OT3 and Land Type SDA only. The area of the field should be entered to 2 decimal places e.g. '12.32' or '32.00' and be equal to, or less than the MEA for that field. If the area you are activating is higher than the MEA shown, you can still submit your application. You can ignore the warning but you must notify or have notified LPIS of the change in MEA by completing a LPIS Correction Form.
+Add usage - click on the button to add more than one usage to a field. The total BPS and/or ANC for the usages must not exceed the size of the field except where you haven't told us of a change to the field size.
Map icon - click on the icon to see the map centred on that particular field. You will be able to make amendments and submit for LPIS approval and update. However, you must still make amendment to the field data listed on the field data screen to reflect new area claimed.
Delete icon - this will delete the field shown on the line selected or additional usage if more than one is recorded against the field. Click the bin icon
+ Add a field to your claim - if you need to add a new field, enter the field ID details. The Total Field Area and MEA known to us will be shown and cannot be amended on this screen. You can amend other information as necessary. For entering multiple fields to your claim, you may find it easier to add these through the map function. You will be able to select each field by clicking on the map and these will then be shown on the field data table.
Merge selected field - You will be able to merge two fields from your field data table. Select a field from the table and then click 'Merge selected field'. The application will show a drop-down list of field that can be merged with the one chosen. If any of the fields listed show 'Not Claimed' in brackets, the area of this field will be added to your claim automatically when merged with the first field selected. Choose a field to merge from the list, enter the date the merge took place and reason for change and then 'Merge' to complete. This action will also update your map.
Split selected field - This option will direct you to the online map to complete the split field function. This cannot be done on the field table itself as you will need to show where the physical split is on a map. When you split on the map and save, the two new fields will replace the original on your field data table and the new areas will also show.
Multiple delete - this will open a window and allow you to check several fields to remove at once. You can filter by FSN or Field number to show specific fields to delete.
If the Total Field Area and MEA are shown as '0.00', this could mean that the details of a new field (e.g. new, spilt or merged field) have not been entered onto the LPIS database yet. If you haven't done this, you must notify the change on a LPIS Correction Form as soon as you can. You should still enter the Activated area for Basic Payment and can ignore any warning telling you that the Activated area is greater than the MEA.
Save all changes - when you have made amendments to your field data and you wish to update your application, click 'Save All Changes' and the system will run validation on the data entered and let you know if there is anything you may need to re-check and show you only those field where it finds Errors and/or Warnings highlighted on screen. Click the Reset button to view all your fields again.
Error - if the system identifies something that will prevent you from submitting your application (an Error), the field(s) in question will be highlighted in red and show a circular symbol before the field number. If you hover over this symbol, the reason why this information can't be submitted will be shown and you will need to change the information. For example, if you select 'Yes' to the ANC question in Step 1, but the field data has no areas entered for ANC, you will need to amend before you can proceed.
Warning - if the system identifies where inconsistent field data may have been entered, you will still be able to submit your application but you may wish to check your field data. If you hover over the symbol at the start of the line, the reason for the warning is displayed. For example, if you add a field to your claim and the system identifies that the same field has been listed on the claim of another business, a warning will be shown to let you know.
Step 4 - confirmation
This screen will allow you to review your Single Application before you submit. Scroll on the left hand side to review the answers entered and the fields declared.
'I agree to the Declarations' – you should click to view and read the declarations and undertakings associated with the Single Application before ticking that you agree.
When you click 'submit my application' you will be shown confirmation that your application has been submitted. You will also receive an email confirmation with a summary of your application attached.
On this page you will also be given information in relation to your application and reminders of further information that may be required.
You can click 'print or save summary' to get a copy of your application. Your summary will appear on screen and you have to the option to save to your desktop for safekeeping or printing a hard copy.
You can now update certain business details from this scheme such as update National Insurance details or change your Government Gateway password by clicking on 'update my details'.
Updating application after Single Application submitted
This feature has been enhanced for 2016 Single Application Online where you will be able to revisit your whole application after it has been submitted to make amendments.
When you log in and access the application after submission, you will be presented with a 'Welcome back' screen. Click on 'Continue Application' and you will be able to change the answers to questions previously given or add/amend any land details entered.
In order for any subsequent amendments to take effect, you must resubmit your application each time. The summary in Step 4 will have a higher Version number to reflect that amendments have been made to the original application. Your summary will also show separately any fields that have been added since the previous version.
Please Note: Any amendments can be made to your field data before 31 May as normal i.e. you can add or remove fields / areas.
Fields added from 1-10 June may be subject to late field penalty, although fields / areas can be removed or reduced during this time without penalty.
Fields cannot be added after 10 June, but fields / areas can still be removed only if the Department hasn't notified you of a penalty or planned inspection.
After submission you will receive an email – for a business submitting their own application, the email will confirm receipt of application and have a copy of the summary and an acknowledgement letter. When an agent submits on behalf of a business, the agent will receive an email confirmation and a copy of the summary only. A paper acknowledgement letter confirming the scheme(s) applied for will be issued to the business separately.

Publisher : Simon & Schuster
A teen at boarding school grapples with life, love, and rugby in a heartbreakingly funny novel.Ryan Dean West is a fourteen-year-old junior at a boarding school for rich kids. He's living in Opportunity Hall, the dorm for troublemakers, and rooming with the biggest bully on the rugby team. And he's madly in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a little boy.With the help of his sense of humor, rugby buddies, and his penchant for doodling comics, Ryan Dean manages to survive life's complications and even find some happiness along the way. But when the unthinkable happens, he has to figure out how to hold on to what's important, even when it feels like everything has fallen apart.Filled with hand-drawn infographics and illustrations and told in a pitch-perfect voice, this realistic depiction of a teen's experience strikes an exceptional balance of hilarious and heartbreaking.
I read Winger for free at Pulseit.com.
Winger is a term for one of the player's position in Rugby. Wingers are usually the fastest players on the team. This book is about a boy who plays rugby and is a winger on the team. This boy's name is Ryan Dean West. He's genius, but always calls himself a loser. He has best friends, and one of them he hopes could be more than best friends.
At first, I thought I would not like this book, because of the rugby references and I don't know anything about rugby. I also thought that this book is intended for male readers, kind of sport theme book. But no, I was wrong. Winger is a coming of age book. Although probably Ryan Dean is hardly relatable because of him being genius and all, but I feel that I hear almost realistic voice of teenagers. Almost, because I'm a girl and I'm not sure what's going on around boys' head his age.
I like most characters in this book. Each one has their own way to make me feel connected to them. But one of the characters that I love most is Joey. He's Ryan Dean's new friend. He's a great character, I got really sad knowing how he ends up in the book.
This book is funny. Ryan Dean is funny. Sometimes I even laughed while reading Winger. Reading this book makes me feel like I was reading his diary. There are also some illustrations in the book which was 'drawn' by Ryan Dean.
All in all I love this book. Oh I also think that Ryan Dean is adorable. Younger-brother-adorable kind. But psst! don't tell him, because he doesn't like it.

Reduce Festive Season Stress for Business Success
Dr. Vesna Grubacevic
With the festive season fast approaching, it is important to reduce our stress levels so that we can truly enjoy the festivities and maximise our business success for the rest of the year. A key to doing this is to learn how to master your thinking so that you can think jolly this festive season and beyond. By mastering your thinking, you will reduce your stress levels, increase your productivity and success in business.
Forget about doing everything
Why is it that people feel the need to get everything done before Christmas and the festive season begin? Why put so much unnecessary stress on yourself? Forget about doing everything before the festive season and take the pressure off. "Everything" is a lot of things, which are probably too many to complete in the time you have available in the lead up to the festive season. So instead of getting overwhelmed as you think about everything you need to do and setting yourself up for more stress, be realistic and set yourself up for success!
Now is the time to set some priorities for yourself for the next couple of weeks. Firstly, make a list of things that must be completed before the festive season in your business (eg. finish projects for clients, convert leads to clients for next year's projects, arrange seasons' greetings cards and hampers for clients, attend networking events, etc). Then make a list of things that must be completed before the festive season begins personally (eg. buy presents, write cards for family and friends, finalise holiday plans, etc).
Prioritise for success
Then once you have these lists complete, ask yourself, does each activity on your lists really need to be completed before the festive season. If not, it is OK to say no to things that are a low priority and that can wait until after the new year begins. If yes, prioritise the actions on each list in order of importance, and then put a completion date next to each action. Once your list of priorities is complete and is realistic, you will feel more at ease and think more clearly.
Make sure that you put aside time in your diary or planner to do these actions. By seeing the actions in your diary or planner it will keep you focused and will help to minimise any distractions. If you rely on remembering everything that needs to be done, you will likely add to your stress levels and there is a risk it may be missed (out of sight, out of mind).
Next, think about the things that can wait until after the festive season and make a list of the things you want to complete, both personally and in business during the following timeframes:
- during the festive season break
- during January 2015
- during February 2015.
Again, you can prioritise each list and put timeframes for completion next to each action, and then diarise these actions.
How to think jolly this festive season
How you think and speak to yourself will determine whether or not you are motivating yourself to take the above action, and therefore, how successful you will be. Also, if and how you acknowledge yourself for the action that you complete will determine whether your motivation levels are sustained or whether they take a dive, especially during challenges.
Here is a very simple and effective technique that you can begin applying immediately to think jolly this festive season and beyond, and to stay motivated.
Start giving yourself daily or weekly feedback on the above actions that you are taking. Instead of beating yourself up when faced with challenges, telling yourself all the things you could have or should have done, give yourself some constructive feedback. Sit down at the end of each day or week and write down the answers to three questions:
What did I do well today/this week?
What can I improve?
Overall, how was my day/week? (end on a positive)
This will assist you to learn from your actions, celebrate your successes and help you move to the next level of your business success! Used consistently, this becomes an extremely powerful process for staying motivated and focused, in the lead up to the festive season and beyond.
Enjoy applying the above techniques to think jolly and enjoy a relaxing festive season.

How to Pressure Wash Tips and Tricks
There are several techniques and tips for various pressure washing applications, but they are all pretty basic procedures. The first tip we have when pressure washing a house is to use two hands. Often we see people attempting to pressure wash with one hand which causes them to tire out quickly. Also holding with both hands allows you to have more control over your spray pattern, which is important when getting those hard to reach areas.
The second and perhaps the most important tip we have is to choose a good detergent. Having a great detergent is the key to Jackson's Heated Pressure Washing's LLC's success. We let the detergent do the cleaning for us and simply wash it off. It is important you are letting the detergent do the cleaning for you, not the pressure. Too much pressure can damage your property.
Our third tip is to eliminate or limit your time on ladders. Using a pressure washer on a ladder can be extremely dangerous. The pressure from the power washer can cause you to fall backwards, possibly resulting in an injury. What is the key to staying on the ground? Jackson's Heated Pressure Washing LLC utilizes two tools that allow us to wash effectively from the ground. One is an X-Jet tip. The X-Jet tip allows us to reach two to three stories high with detergent and water with no problem while still maintaining sufficient pressure. Another tool we use that keeps us on the ground is a gutter cleaning tip that simply attaches to the pressure washer gun just as a nozzle would. The tip hangs over the gutter and does a great job of blasting leaves, mud, and various items out of your gutters.

Narrative aspect to music video
As the majority of mine and Faye's music video is performance we have decided to add a narrative aspect to the club scene at the end of the video. The girls will be dancing in a club and each of them in turn will leave the group to see the same boy. If will be shot different, for example with one girl going outside to meet him, one girl will receive a text, the other will be looking at their watch. The girls will each be shot obviously being distracted from the group activities in some way or another. Eventually the male character enters the club to find he is dating the same five friends and the girls realise they have been seeing the same person. A range of close-ups and medium shots of the characters would be appropriate to use in this scene.

The pomegranate is a unique fruit that grows in the tropical regions of the world. It has a tough outer rind that protects the valuable and juicy pomegranate seeds, also known as arils. Getting at the arils can be a little tricky because they are held in place by the pith and are encased by another protective layer, referred to as the membrane. It takes a bit of practice, but after you open a pomegranate a few times it gets much easier.
Pomegranate juice is high in antioxidants, which help to clean the body at a deep cellular level in order to prevent a number of degenerative diseases. It helps to enhance brain functions, such as memory and cognitive skills, and also increases energy levels. The juice is also great for weight loss because it helps to remove the toxins that often make it impossible to lose weight.
Step #1
The first step in opening a pomegranate is to cut both ends off. You want to cut in just far enough in order to cut away the outer rind, but not too far so that you cut into the seeds. If you do, it's okay, but you want to preserve as much of the nutrient-rich juice as you can.
Step #2
Next, take the knife and score the outer edge of the pomegranate. Start at the top or the bottom and work your way all around the rind. You can do this once or twice more in order to make it easy to break the pomegranate open.
Step #3
Once you have scored the rind, take the pomegranate in both hands and gently break it apart along the score lines.
Step #4
Now it is time to peel away the membrane and break the seeds away from the pith. You will find that it is easier if you break it into smaller pieces as you go.
You will also find that the seeds are quite juicy and will spatter if you are not careful. One way to protect yourself and the counter is to go about it slowly. You can also do it in a bowl of water if you don't mind losing some of the valuable juice.
Once the seeds are removed, you can eat them as they are or toss them in your fruit salads.
You can also juice the pomegranate seeds for a refreshing drink. Fresh pomegranate juice goes well with a variety of juices, such as pineapple, orange and mango. You can also mix it with nut milk and many superfood powders for even more nutrition.

Dr. Gregory Phillips II, assistant professor of Medical Social Sciences and director of the Evaluation, Data Integration and Technical Assistance (EDIT) Program within ISGMH, has been awarded an infrastructure building grant by the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH). This grant will improve the Evaluation Center's capacity to support community agencies serving sexual and gender minority populations on both local and national scales through evaluation of participating sites and provision of relevant technical assistance. This grant also continues EDIT's close partnership with CDPH to integrate evaluation activities into the day-to-day operations of their funded HIV prevention agencies.
These funds will be used to help build the Evaluation Center's brand as it continues to grow both locally and nationally. This includes the development of an outward facing website designed for CDPH, the Chicago community, and future collaborators. The site will house all existing and future technical assistance resources developed by the Evaluation Center (e.g., webinars), and will contain a form where current and potential partners can request individualized assistance. Additionally, dissemination activities on behalf of the Evaluation Center and collaborating agencies will be shared on the website as a way to facilitate communication with a broader audience. It will also offer a secure portal for reliable and efficient sharing of data relevant to current and future evaluation activities. Having a standardized location where agencies can enter client-level and aggregate data is important for ensuring a consistent pathway from data collection to evaluation, and will improve the time involved in accessing and cleaning data by the Evaluation Center.
Get updates on this project and other EDIT activities by following @EDITatNU on Twitter.

Gwen Ifill 1955-2016
I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn yesterday that PBS journalist Gwen Ifill died at age 61. Gwen had fought a private battle with cancer over the last year, giving no indication of it as she continued to appear on camera with her joyous smile and positive professional attitude. I highly recommend people watch the heartfelt tribute from The News Hour last night. My sense of personal loss takes me a bit by surprise, but I quickly realize what an excellent journalist Gwen was and what a wonderful person. If Gwen was on a show you knew it would be a worthwhile watch and you felt personally welcomed by Gwen and were joyful to be in her presence. Gwen was not able to cover the final days of this brutal Presidential election cycle and her death and absence from covering the Trump administration is a great loss for our country.

Great Scott! Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship, 25.04.10Andy Scott bounced back from a disappointing first round result to win the second round of the Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship at Knockhill on Sunday (April 25).
The Scotsman won the Supercar A final in which pole starter and British championship points leader David Binks (Newcastle upon Tyne) finished last after losing over 40 seconds when his car stopped in an incident that started when Pat Doran (Winkleigh), who also started from the front row of the grid, spun in the first corner. While Doran recovered and chased Scott (Dumfries) home in second place, Binks could do no more than complete the race in eighth place after getting his car restarted.
Andy Grant (Barnstaple) was third in the A final and completed the front starters in the Superfinal.
The drag race to the first corner in the Superfinal was close, Scott and Grant running side-by-side to the turn but with Scott fractionally later on the brakes and easing into the lead. Completing the first lap with a brave run across the tricky gravel section of the lap, Scott was almost two seconds up on his rivals entering the second lap and maintained his pace to take a clear win. Scott was overjoyed with his first event victory after less than a year in the Supercar class, Its great to win because the team has put a lot of work into the car over the winter and everyone was a but down after round one. Its specially good to win at Knockhill and in Scotland because Ive a lot of extra supporters and guests here today, it couldnt have been better, said Scott.
Grant took a personal best finish in second place and in only the second start with his new Ford Focus while Gareth Wood (Newcastle upon Tyne) also claimed his best yet British championship result, making the most of the slippery conditions to urge his Subaru Impreza home in third place, ahead of current title holder Doran.
Fifth place in the Superfinal for SuperModified class winner Julian Godfrey (Heathfield) moved the Sussex-based engineer into the lead of the championship after two events.
Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship, round two, Knockhill April 25:
Superfinal (5 laps): 1 Andy Scott (Peugeot 306) 4m07.390s; 2 Andy Grant (Ford Focus) +5.634s; 3 Gareth Wood (Subaru Impreza); 4 Pat Doran (Ford Fiesta ST); 5 Julian Godfrey (Ford Fiesta ST S1600); 6 Mike Howlin (Ford Fiesta ST RWD); 7 Simon Horton (Subaru Impreza); 8 Lawrence Gibson (MG Metro 6R4).
Championship: 1 Godfrey 48; 2 Scott 45; 3 Grant 45; 4 Binks 44; 5 Howlin 42; 6 Doran 40
Next event: Blyton Night Race June 12

The US seemed somewhat unsure what to do without Wikipedia during the blackout to protest SOPA and PIPA. So like any good people they created a hashtag and a Twitter meme to keep them occupied. Here are some of my favorite #FactsWithoutWikepedia tweets.

Typos (and grammar concerns) terrify folks into paralysis when it comes to writing. What if I make a mistake? Use the wrong word? I don't know where the commas go. Semi-colons?!?!? OMFG, kill me.
This fear keeps many folks who would otherwise be fantastic contributors to blogs, social media sites, and elsewhere from sharing insights and knowledge that others would find useful. I've seen people who successfully started and then ran large IT implementations run in fear from the idea of writing a 500 word blog post about their experience.
In so far as you only get better writing by writing (a lesson I've lived this past 18 months), fear of making a mistake is bad enough.
Worse is some pedantic ass munch pointing it out to you. Continue reading Fear of Writing – The Typo and the Typo Pointer-Outer
Nearly every piece of advice you read about content and inbound marketing includes the words "great" and "content" in sequence or at least in close proximity. I am all for great content – great content whether whimsical or serious or funny or informative or entertaining or whatever is, well, great.
And great is good. It's the goal. Right?
Well, I'm starting to think maybe not entirely.
Here's the problem as I see it. Continue reading The Problem With Great Content
One of my favorite parts of Finding Nemo is when Dory and Marlin have to swim down into the dark of the trench to find the dive mask and Dory starts humming, "Keep swimming, keep swimming." Coming from a cartoon fish with memory issues, that's pretty damn good advice. I know I've hummed it to myself (along with running cadences picked up from various war movies) on long runs.
Recently, I've found myself humming "keep writing" as I freeze up (again!) trying to get the words out. I had half-watched Finding Nemo a few months ago and when I re-read Stephen King's On Writing, advice from Dory and King melded.
Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
About 5 or 6 years ago, I had an idea to do a video series: 3 Things in 3 Minutes (yeah, rocket science, I know) to bring user-generated content in. While I might eventually pick back up on that idea again, started thinking to myself, "Self, why not do something like 3 things Thursday and just write about a few things each week." Because, you know, 3, It's a Magic Number.
For this first go 'round, I've been having a few thoughts about content marketing. Continue reading 3 Things (2 That Bug Me) About Content Marketing
Or How I learned to stop worrying and love the empty, white spaces in between.
I edited a print magazine for a decade. During that time, I drove our various designers slightly bonkers with my desire to cram words into every available nook and cranny of a page. "What do you mean, 800 words on a page is too many? Just make it fit." There was some, let's say, creative tension between cramming in a lot of information in a limited number of pages and their desire to exercise some design ethos.
I generally won the arguments. After all, they were contracting for us. Though, over time, I came to see their point and even admit that I had been wrong.
White space can be your friend, in a number of ways. Continue reading Embrace White Space to Improve Your Content Marketing

A debt swap for cash-strapped state power company Eskom would spiral the country into more debt, South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday, adding there was a need to look at other options to shore up the company's balance sheet.

Perusing the floor of the 67th IAA commercial vehicle fair, held in Hannover, Germany, in September, it was clear that the electric truck (ET) is not just a passing fancy. Yes, the so-called electric revolution may not happen in the next year, and not yet for long-distance, heavy-duty deliveries, but judging by the number of electric models that were parked on the stands of 95% of the many truck brands present at the German show, it won't be long before the current tentative first steps evolve into larger-scale commercial sales, especially in sectors such as short-trip urban logistics and refuse removal. view more

Power utility Eskom's request for government to take up R100-billion of its debt could cause the country's overall debt ratio to jump two%age points from the current 55.8%, ratings agency Moody's said on Friday.

Woah! Stephen Amell just shared an image of him from Next Week's Legends of Tomorrow…
And, yes, he's rocking the Green Arrow goatee; and he's facing off against… is that Deathstroke?!
Amell shared the image on his Facebook page with the words: "Old feuds die hard. Legends. Next week."
We reported that he was going to be appearing as the classic, older Green Arrow on the show a few weeks ago and at the time we heard he's have a missing arm ala The Dark Knight Returns, although he seems still complete here; perhaps Deathstoke takes it? Perhaps not, we'll know next Thursday night, that's for sure.

New Energy Company Ready to Stimulate Jobs and the Economy ...Right Now!
From Over two years ago, the concept for this site was developed with the hope of finding technology innovations that could help the country in multiple areas especially when the need for them would be the most urgent. more ...
NACA – Innovatively Saving the American Dream:
The One Thing That Must Be Negative In Your Life Is Your Water - Your Health Depends On It
On the surface the above statement may not make sense, but when one understands what it means, then one realizes that this can be a matter of life and death. Whatever process one uses to achieve health and wellness, water must be the foundation that it is built on; and not just any water, but quality, negative, ionized water. Negative or ionic water is not just some marketing gimmick; it is a scientific breakthrough that has the ability to transform an individual´s health and wellness; (and it is the foundation needed to support and enhance every herb, food or supplement used to that end.) To fully understand the importance of that statement it is necessary to know the beginning of how this technology innovation started.|
It was started by a company in Asia in 1974. Their vision was to provide the process for true health and wellness internationally, through the development and manufacturing of high quality Water Treatment Technology Equipment. After many years of research and analysis of the "miracle " waters found in few places around the world, a machine has been engineered to produce a replica of these healing waters to your water faucet: Ionized or Negative Water. This is the layman´s explanation of how this machine works, in plain language: This machine has powerful, specialized filters that remove contaminants from water and infuses the water with valuable minerals. It then splits the molecules, which attaches an ionic or negative charge to them, while allowing for control of the ph level by the machine´s owner. The value of this process is that the water consumed from it is highly antioxidant, which defends your cells, boosts your immune power, and retards the aging process; it is micro-clustered which allows increased hydration because the water´s molecules are able to go into all the cells of the body, even the minute ones, to bring nutrients and remove waste at the cellular level; and is unparalleled at promoting acid/alkaline (pH) balance.
Pure Enhanced Water Demonstration Video
Oxidation, which is comparable to an apple or potato turning brown from exposure to air, occurs in the body because of free radicals. These free radicals, which multiply tremendously throughout the body, have a positive charge that causes the body to be susceptible to disease, breakdown and to age prematurely. A body with an imbalanced ph factor, either too acidic or too alkaline, also is a breeding ground for disease. ORP means "Oxidation Reduction Potential", which is a measurement of water´s ability to reduce the level of oxidation in the body. The higher the negative number, the healthier that water is for you, the higher positive number, the less beneficial it is. For instance, water or liquid that has a + 500 reading is not healthy, but water or liquid with a - 500 reading is very healthy. For example, soda pop has an ORP of + 400, and vitamin C and green tea have an ORP around-100. The value of the machine that produces this negative water is its readings have been recorded at-1200, which means its ability to kill free radicals are off the chart, (making it the most powerful source of anti-oxidants on the planet!) The other quality of this water that makes it unique is its ability to preserve its high ORP readings for long periods of time. Some competitors can produce high negatives but their ability to maintain them is measured in hours and then they dissipate; the machine that produces this negative water has numbers that are measured in days before they evaporate; actually as long as a week to ten days (depending on the quality of the water source).
This is a significant breakthrough but, like most breakthroughs, they have been around for a while and it is society that must catch up to them. The individual that greatly helped this writer catch up to this innovation is Dr. Roy Crayton, Jr., an N.D. – Naturopathic Doctor. Dr. Crayton, pictured on the page, has a background that compelled him to look at this technology.
In 1995, He founded the Holistic Healing Center in Carson, California, just outside Los Angeles, and established a successful community based practice that counseled everyone from regular working people to entertainers, politicians and professional athletes. He also counseled the family members of medical doctors and was recognized as knowledgeable and highly effective for alternative modalities. He accurately assessed an undisclosed condition of this writer by just looking at his eyes. Retired, he now resides just outside Atlanta, Georgia, often lecturing on natural health and healing, counseling clients privately, and enjoying his lifetime hobbies as an accomplished musician playing gospel and jazz music, and photography.
The urgency for utilizing this technology and the water it produces was keenly articulated by Dr. Crayton. He said, "This is not just an ordinary machine conventionally filtering water; in Japan this technology is a medical treatment device used in hospitals for treating and curing disease, and it is certified by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Wellness. (This machine is the only one of its kind in the world to be given this certification by the Japanese government. Japan is one the leading countries in the world for its citizens having high longevity; they take health and wellness seriously and a machine that does not perform properly would not be certified.) I can´t emphasize its importance enough. The body is 75% water and "Negative Water" is one of the most effective delivery systems for nutrients and minerals to help the body heal itself. In my professional opinion, and others, no other water treatment machine compares to it. The machine has titanium plates that are coated with platinum for optimum surface contact for the water. Its competitor´s machines are just wire mesh and notnearly as effective.
"Dr.Crayton says, "In my health practice, I measured my success by my ability to help people. When asked why he was so enthusiastic about his assessment of this technology, he stated, "alkaline ionizedwater does in weeks, what traditional herbal and nutritional supplement programs do in months to years.(As a matter of fact, this water works as a better delivery system than any other water by assisting medications and supplements to increase their strength and efficiency in the body.) I have never "treated a disease"- I pride myself on giving comprehensive information to help restore and maintain health. If you ´re familiar with the "Blue Zones" around the world where people have unusual health and longevity; my focus for my clients was to help them create their own "Blue Zone" and to take their health into their own hands. It´s their right and by helping to educate people on the effectiveness of this water treatment machine I feel I am still doing this. In my close to 15 years experience with my health practice I have had to counsel individuals, including some who were close to death, and help them restore their health with my knowledge about hundreds of substances such as herbs, plants, roots, seeds, minerals and various foods. If I had to now recommend only one substance with any health challenge a person might face, it would have to be this ionized water. It is just that crucial for people to have it for maintaining and restoring their health. "Dr. Crayton might be planning to establish a private consulting practice similar to the health practice he founded in Los Angeles in the Metro-Atlanta area. In this writer´s personal experience, one would be fortunate to engage him in consultation regarding their health concerns.
As we have stated in the disclosure to this section of this web site, we are not permitted to give the name of the company or the name of the product that produces this water. Information about the product, its research, and how it can be obtained can be accessed by contacting (770) 330-2858, or by emailing a request for information to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In light of the serious concerns for disease, illness and possible global pandemics, "Negative Water" is essential in its ability to help the body establish a defense to resist disease, bacterial and viral infection. Read the information about this report for your self. The focus for this site is to provide information on breakthroughs that can impact your life; we are confident that this report has met that objective.

Q+A and The Nation
The Nation
Sweet Jesus a week is a long time in political panel shows isn't it? The Nation finally spluttered into life this weekend with a show that was one of their best to date.
Chris Trotter and Barry Soaper were the panelists, and they were the saving grace. The problem with The Nation has been an appallingly stale choice of bland conservative commentators, now The Nation can be biased (Parker is Brownlee's former press secretary and Duncan Garner seems to have a crush on John Key), and you can have right wing commentators but to date the right wing commentators they've had on are so dull it has been cringe worthy. Good Panelists and their good questions take the pressure off Stephen as the host and it works brilliantly when you have talent as good as Trotter and Soaper.
For some reason the makers of The Nation seem to have forgotten that you need talent, this weekends episode should make them sign Trotter up weekly.
Phil was passionate in the interview with Garner. I think as times get harder people will want to look to someone they feel will fight their corner, Goff's trying to build that level of emotional trust with the recession wounded voter with impassioned statements of vision.
I want to see an angry Phil Goff.
Discussion about the Fabian think tank (can I just suggest ideas for Fabian while I have Labour Party attention - no GST on fresh fruit and veges and how about chatting with Pacific Island Nations who are sinking beneath the waves to renegotiate the UN law of the seas so that their exclusive economic zones are not wiped out once their islands sink beneath the seas, allow those Islanders to move to NZ as citizens and get a cut from their exclusive economic zones while building up our Navy to patrol those new zones - what do ya think?)
Soaper and Trotter asked brilliant questions of Goff, but the real surprise was how good Parker was at interviewing Rodney Hide who was sweating out his criticism of the Government signing the UN declaration. Parker's question 'Was it a chance to rebrand ACT' had Rodney suddenly realize he wasn't on a friendly News set any longer.
Trotter's brilliantly timed and pitched question of whether Rodney would've resigned if he had known about Pita Sharples secret journey to sign the declaration perfectly demolished all of Rodney's bluster.
Trotter's follow up question about National jettisoning ACT in favour of the Maori Party in the future was a realization Rodney obviously hadn't even considered and Soaper followed up on Rodney's unease at the suggestion.
The other segment of the Nation is their pre-recorded news stories which as far as I'm concerned rank amongst the week's best actual journalism on TV, this week it was our military funding with the conclusion being we need more maritime patrols (which is great as it works with my 'NZ-granting-citizenship-for-sinking-Pacific-Islands-while-chaning-UN-exclusive-economic-zone-laws-for-a-percentage-of-the-resources-from-their-exclusive-economic-zones).
The idea seems to be to allow privatization of the military. So after the Guantanamo Bay detainment corporation tries to operate private prisons in NZ, we'll also have Haliburton wanting to contract out to our armed forces?
Great piece on art and science at the downstage theatre. Interesting to hear a scientist say he feels they have put out the evidence that man made pollution is changing the climate yet many don't seem to get the message so he thinks Art can help get that information out.
The Panel section has been The Nation's weakest point, this weeks focus on talent who can add to the information being discussed made the show 10 000 times better. Who ever is booking the panelists should take note or get the sack, (who the hell was responsible for last weeks yawn fest?).
ANZAC Day and it is an adult discussion, not flag blinded Nationalistic tripe, well done q+a.
Paul's monologue is becoming the sharpest satire on TVNZ, (but being TVNZ, that isn't too difficult at the moment with TV3 cornering the Political Comedy market with 7 Days).
BREAKING NEWS - No way, a military Helicopter crashed killing 3.
Panel time on Q+A - it's Loathsome Creech, Sandra Lee and Theresa. Theresa makes an interesting point about class politics, that Maori don't care about class they care about ethnicity and this spells bad news for Labour. Wyatt Creech defended his spitting on democracy by ripping away democratic use of water allocation by E.can and Sandra Lee laughs long and hard about the Governments U-turn on legalizing whaling.
Pretty standard interview with the top NZ General Mateparea re ANZAC Day, he's a nice bloke - its from Gallipoli via satellite - conversation gets interesting re Afghanistan and are we actually 'winning' yet. The qualified and very sober response suggests we are as close to 'victory' in Afghanistan as we were at Gallipoli and Holmes brilliantly compares the two wars. Mateparea side steps the comparison by claiming Gallipoli was a great war between great powers and here we are fighting a small group, Holmes asks why we are propping up a corrupt regime, all the General has is some vague assertion that 'we know it's the right thing to do' and that we have to go where our mates tell us because we are part of the team (which is what got us into Gallipoli in the first place).
Mateparea is a smart bugger and he's being diplomatic, he knows how screwed Afghanistan is, but like our boys pinned down on the beaches at Gallipoli all those years ago, he's doing the best he can of a shit sandwich he didn't make.

Dane Bowers' 60 Second Metro Interview
"Singer Dane Bowers found fame in the 1990s in boyband Another Level. When they split, he had a short-lived solo career and sang with Victoria Beckham on her single Out Of Your Mind. He's also renowned for dating Jordan."
It's seriously hilarious at times. Check his section on Jordan. And the guy they kicked out from Steps. And on autobiographies.
Hah hah!
Would you consider writing your autobiography?
"No, I'm only 26 and I don't think my life has been that interesting. I think you need to have lived a bit before you write a book. Who wants to read about my life anyway? I've done some brilliant things and I've done some boring things - there's my autobiography."
Quite right. I love Dane Bowers.
Even though
his face is really large?
the main reason
saw that
bird from steps doing some interview the other day on five.
she's got very fat
also dane bowers has a high IQ according to tes the nation, no?
Well maybe he's the most ironic man on earth, then?
His incredibly long blethering paragraph about Jordan, including a dig at her after first stating he wouldn't make any digs and then ending with something like "but I don't care" is pure class! :D
"RENOWNED for dating Jordan"?!
You're out of your miii-ee--iiind...
