Raptors, Rangers & Badass Bullnoses Stole the Spotlight in 2017
Lots of major announcements, hotly-anticipated reveals, and exciting events made 2017 the finest year of the Ford truck yet.
Toward the end of 2017, Ford just celebrated 100 years of building pickups. And yet, it might have been the finest year yet for the venerable Ford truck. The whole thing kicked off with a bang as we laid eyes on the updated 2018 F-150 at the Detroit Auto Show in January. But even bigger news came just hours later as we learned Ford was bringing back both the Ranger and Bronco in 2019 and 2020, respectively. And as usual, pretty much every Ford truck model racked up multiple awards in the process.
We here at Ford Truck Enthusiasts live, eat, and breath everything Ford trucks. Of course, that includes everything from the Model T pickup to the Transit van. So, it was obviously difficult to whittle down all the great things we saw this year into a tidy Top 10. But, of the hundreds of amazing moments we witnessed in 2017, these stood out as Ford Truck Enthusiasts' most memorable stories of the year. So, take a trip down memory lane with us, and here's to another incredible year in 2018!
#1: The Ford Ranger Raptor Is Official!
In 2018, a Raptor version of the Ranger will go on sale — at least in the Asia Pacific market.
Needless to say, we're excited that some of our friends around the world will get to experience the joy of a Raptor product. But what the United States?! A new Ranger is coming for the 2019 model year!
#2: Ford Confirms Michigan-Built Ranger and Bronco
"We've heard our customers loud and clear. They want a new generation of vehicles that are incredibly capable yet fun to drive," announced Ford President Joe Hinrichs earlier this year when revealing the long-awaited return of the Ranger and Bronco.
"The Ranger is for truck buyers who want an affordable, functional, rugged, and maneuverable pickup that's Built Ford Tough," said Hinrichs. "The Bronco will be a no-compromise midsize 4×4 utility for thrill seekers who want to venture way beyond the city."
#3: Arizona Truck Owner Takes 'Built Ford Tough' to the Most Extreme Level
How often do you hear of an F-150 hitting the ultimate goal in automotive reliability: 1 million miles? Well, an Arizona resident rose to the challenge, and fortunately for us, he's tracking it.
Arizona resident Dave Wright works a marketing job that requires frequent travel to surrounding states. He estimates that he puts roughly 75,000 to 80,000 miles on his 2003 F-150 annually. Plus, in Arizona, temperatures can easily reach triple digits for several months throughout the year. Even so, Wright says that his Ford truck is still running with its original engine.
However, the odometer recently gave out at 937,000 miles, which puts a wrench in his plan to bring the truck past the million-mile mark. But he is paying close attention to his trips and keeping notes of his miles via a pad and paper. How awesome is that?
Wright said that he reached out to Ford to help with the odometer issue. But even if they could fix it, the odometer stops at 999,000. Apparently Ford wasn't worried about making their odometers run that high, as Wright says they told him, "they've never seen a truck with that many miles on it."
#4: Ford vs. Chevy & Ram: 2017 Dually Drag Race
There's only two reasons for buying a heavy-duty dually truck. One: mammoth towing capacity. Two: unparalleled towing stability.
Let's assume for a moment that we all have such needs, and we're in the market for a 2017 dually pickup truck. Would you allow your passion for Ford vehicles to win you over, or would you consider what the competition's got to offer?
The folks over at The Fast Lane Truck pondered the situation earlier this year in the best way possible, by pitting three of the newest six-wheeled beasts — from Ford, Chevy and Ram — against one another!
#5: Chevy Put a Fake Oval on the 2019 Silverado Test Mule
A scholar once said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If that's the case, then folks at Chevy are genuinely nice people.
The reason: Truck enthusiasts over at Chevrolet Forums recently published 25 photos of a heavily-camouflaged half-ton pickup truck. According to their story, the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado, and quite possibly the GMC Sierra are hiding underneath the heavy layers of vinyl.
The biggest rumor surrounding the next generation of GM trucks is aluminum body construction, as well as turbocharged and hybrid 6-cylinder engines. In other words, everything Ford has already been doing for several years.
#6: Chevy's New Silverado vs. F-150 Commercial Is Beyond Desperate
A good chunk of the American population has been subjected to one of the most horrendous advertising campaigns ever: the Chevy "real people" commercials, in which Chevrolet targets people who'll basically believe anything they see on TV, and therefore buy an inferior truck.
We've seen Chevy put bears in cages, drop rocks into an unprotected truck bed, and even take samples of "damaged" aluminum F-150 beds to auto shows across the nation. The truth is, they're just desperate. How desperate? Just watch this commercial Chevrolet recently launched, featuring several "real people" who claim to own a Ford F-150. We're warning you, it's painful. Brace yourselves.
#7: Badass Bullnose Ford Pickup is the Most Expensive 1985 F-250 We've Ever Seen
The Ford F-Series is easily the most beloved truck in the history of pickups. Amongst passionate truck enthusiasts, the most unloved are those produced in the early to mid-'80s. Interestingly enough, it's those trucks that have skyrocketed in value in recent years.
Affectionately known as the "Bullnose," these trucks had a "face" only a mother could love. Or at least that's what people (not us) say! Here at Ford Truck Enthusiasts, we have a deep love for the most unloved trucks. So, we nearly lost it when we came across this gorgeous Bullnose, which just may be the nicest 1985 F-250 we've ever laid eyes on. Plus, the truck was purchased new and lived in a climate-controlled environment for 27 years.
Sounds great, right? Despite the Bullnose being in the early stages of appreciation, pricing on pristine samples are still pretty high. The price of admission for this gorgeous truck is $54,900, which makes this the most expensive 1985 F-250 we've ever seen.
#8: Shelby's 'New' Lightning: Meet the F-150 Super Snake
If you love fast Ford trucks, you likely hold the SVT Lightning in high regard. And while the Raptor is one hell of a truck, it's a poor consolation prize for some.
If you long for a Lightning, Shelby American has you covered with the F-150 Super Snake. Just 150 will be produced in 2017, so you better act fast. Speaking of fast, the Super Snake features a supercharged 5.0 liter V8 good for 750 horsepower.
All 150 examples will be equipped with a SuperCrew cab and a 5.5″ bed with a custom tonneau cover. Both 2WD and 4×4 variants will be available, however. Other exterior details include a honeycomb grille, custom rocker panels and roll pan, and of course the requisite Shelby stripes and badging. Inside, custom embroidered upholstery reminds you that you're in a Shelby, while the Borla exhaust note will get bystander's attention, if the stripes, wheels, and general attitude of the truck don't do that first.
#9: Borrow $50,000, Drive to Georgia, Buy a New 2017 Ford Lightning
Remember when we told you the reason why Ford couldn't build a Lightning successor? We do, and it's not a happy memory. Claiming weight issues and the economic climate, Ford focused on building an off-road truck now known as the Raptor instead of continuing the Lightning. Thankfully, a Ford dealership took matters into its own hands.
For sale at Pioneer Ford in Bremen, Georgia, is not one, but two 2017 Ford Lightning pickup trucks. Heck, if they run out, they'll even build you one exactly how you want it! That's the kind of work these folks have been doing as an authorized Ford dealer and Roush installer.
It all starts with a base-model, short-bed, single-cab, rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered 2017 Ford F-150, which still qualifies for all manufacturer and dealer pricing incentives. Then, the bone-stock 5.0-liter V8 is paired to a state-of-the-art Roush Supercharger, which takes the 395 stock hp all the way up to 650.
After the engine work is done, they add authentic Lightning badges, a handling-tuned suspension that lowers the ride height considerably, and 22-inch SVT wheels identical to the ones found in the original truck.
Because of the truck's incentives, the F-150 comes to around $34,660 plus the $15,000 "Pioneer Ford Lightning Tribute Package." All in all, this stunning "Lightning" is listed online for $49,660.
So, are you headed south yet?
#10: Ford Reveals 2018 Expedition in Texas
Earlier this year, Ford invited Ford Truck Enthusiasts to Texas to watch it unveil an all-new vehicle: the hotly-anticipated 2018 Ford Expedition.
The Blue Oval's engineers shaved 300 pounds off by making the Expedition's body out of aluminum. However, it was other parts of the new SUV that caused our eyebrows to raise. There's a definite — and understandable — resemblance between the Expedition and the 2018 F-150, particularly in the design of their headlight casings and the way the grille juts into them. But the same can be said for the Expedition and other Ford SUVs. The shape of the openings for the foglights is reminiscent of the shape used on the Explorer. That goes for the taillights as well. Visually, the 2018 Expedition is largely its own vehicle, but it's also definitely Ford's vehicle, too.
Although we had anticipated Ford going with the 10-speed auto, the shifter they use was a surprise. For the most part, the cabin of the Expedition looked like it was grafted over from a new F-150. We recognized the steering wheel, the air vents, the center screen and the various dials. It'll be entertaining to see customer reactions to that not-so-little change.
We climbed into the Expedition MAX that Ford had on site. It was impressive. The ability to recline the seat back made us daydream about how comfortable being a middle-row passenger on a long road trip would be, especially at night, when the stars would poke their tiny points of light through the glass of the Panoramic Vista Roof. The tilt-and-slide second row seats made getting to the third row easy, and the amount of headroom in the very back was delightful, as was the many ports and chargers, which include four 12-volt power points, six USB chargers, and a 110-volt power outlet.

14th June 2018 by Jess
How do different foods affect your body in different ways? We're not talking about the obvious like what happens if you eat cheeseburgers every day. We're talking mental health, energy levels, ability to focus; all of these can be enhanced by getting the right foods in your belly.
Believe it or not, de-stressing isn't all scented candles and whale sound CDs (not to say these aren't personal faves). There are other ways of tackling anxiety and stress, both of which can show themselves in different ways, especially physical illness and fatigue. If you feel like this might ring true with you, there are some vitamins you can add to your diet to help support your body.
When we're under pressure, our B-vitamins tend to get used up because they're needed by our nervous system to power our brains. In order to keep yourself fuelled up and prepared to wrestle stress, vitamins B1, B2 and B3 will keep you from feeling sluggish.
What's one of the most annoying ways to start to day? Waking up feeling more tired than you did the night before. Nothing's better than a satisfying siesta, so a balanced diet of fibre, protein, healthy fats and carbs will help your body stabilise its blood sugars, which in turn will give you a better chance of getting that dreamy, restful sleep you've been looking for. But there's more you can do to help!
Research suggests that magnesium (aka "nature's tranquiliser") is a nutrient that aids relaxation and sound sleep. It's easy to have low magnesium levels these days because of reasons like digestive issues, stress or even sweating a lot from exercise. You can replenish your 'zen' by eating magnesium rich foods like nuts, whole grains and spinach.
So now you've gotten out of bed- what if it gets to 11am and you're struggling to lift that cup of coffee to your mouth? You need an energy boost! Yes, having a caffeine hit might do that, but there are also some wholesome foods that could help your keep your energy levels in check.
If you have to read sentences more than once, perhaps your focus needs a top-up! There could be a dietary reason for a shortage of attention, and yes you've guessed it - there are foods out there perfect for fixing your focus!
Iron helps to deliver oxygen throughout the body and is important for transforming food into energy and brain function. It also lends a hand with your immune system too. Iron can be found in leafy green vegetables like kale for example. A key hormone that can help with focus is dopamine. It's the brain's pleasure and reward source, but when released it also helps to motivate and focus you. The way to promote production of dopamine is to eat protein-rich foods.
The last thing you want to get in the summer is a cold! The way to prevent illness? A tip-top immune system.
The first thing to look at when keeping your immune system in check, is vitamin C. As the body cannot store vitamin C, it's an important component to keep topped up as regularly as possible. Eating either broccoli, kale or citrus fruits daily will keep your immune system loaded with vitamin C to tackle viruses.
Brazil nuts are the richest source of selenium, which is an antioxidant that regulates immune function and inflammation. Very few foods contain selenium, and eating two to four brazil nuts per day is enough to meet your daily requirement.

This is the second article from the Golden Jubilee edition of The Aquarist and Pondkeeper, October 1974. This one is by Jack Hems. The editor wrote and introduction:
Jack Hems, who celebrated his 63rd birthday earlier this year, began to keep fish seriously at the age of nine when he lived in Bedford Park, London, W.4. His introduction to the keeping of tropicals was around 1932. He has lost count of the articles on aquarium fishes he has contributed to English and American journals over the last 40 years. Before the war he was Query (Aquaria) Expert to Exchange & Mart. His first article in the Aquarist & Pondkeeper appeared in the September/October issue of 1934. He has answered more than 8,500 readers' Tropical Queries to date. Author and co-author (with G. F. Hervey) of ten books on fishkeeping, Jack writes from experience and has kept several hundred species of tropicals over the years and has bred a few score, too.
Early Days of Aquarium Keeping Remembered by Jack Hems
It takes more than a blitz and the property developers to erase from the memory some of the aquarium shops which were well known in London about the time when Rudolph Valentino held the female heart enthralled. Max Miller played to packed music-halls up and down the country, and horse-drawn vehicles and barrel-organs could still be seen and heard on the streets of Mayfair.
Perhaps the most fascinating aquarium shop in those less-troublesome days was the one situated half-way up the Pentonville Road. "B. T. Child, The World's Best Aquarium Maker". So ran its owner's advertisements in early issues of this magazine. Later, this piece of succinct information was altered to "B. T. Child, The Compleat Aquarist".
Ben Child, as he was always known to his customers and the frequenters of the pub across the road, was indeed The Compleat Aquarist. For 113 Pentonville Road was a veritable Aladdin's Cave of aquarium requisites and fishes. Furthermore, it was not uncommon to find Japanese Waltzing Mice and bird-eating spiders sharing the wooden counter with a stuffed tabby cat and a number of containers housing, say, yellow paludina snails, frog tadpoles and water spiders. Tins of maggots and other ephemera rustled or buzzed among dusty invoices, price lists, discarded pipe-cleaners and ledgers. As added attraction, Ben Child always maintained an excellent stock of reptiles and amphibians.
Behind the shop a steamy room contained serried rows of iron-bottomed tanks base-heated by tiny gas jets. A few of the tanks housed a goodly variety of livebearers, some of which are seldom, if ever, seen today. In other tanks cichlids, big and small, cyprinids from the U.S.A. and Asia, anabantids and a fair sprinkling of oddities such as Synbranchus eels, butterfly fish and electric catfish backed away from too close an inspection of their transparent prisons.
Towards the close of the 1920s, my schoolboy addiction to goldfish and sundry coldwater fishes had given way to a passion for aqua-vivaria. Hence one darkening autumn evening, after a day's work as a junior in a publisher's office in Holborn, I made my way to Pentonville Road with the firm intention of adding to my collection of Japanese newts. Instead, I came away with a pair of paradise fish from China.
From that moment, I was hooked. I mean on tropical fish. My wonderfully coloured male fathered hundreds of progeny over the next four or five years and for these, like the fry of other easy species of warmwater fish which I bred in regular tanks or large glass jars (ex-battery cases), I received a few pennies each from interested dealers though, more often than not, I used them as currency to expand my collection. Thus five or six young rosy barbs were exchanged for a Corydoras paleatus, and so on.
From Mr. Philip Castang, a most likeable dealer in a variety of livestock on Haverstock Hill, I ordered a tank of unconventional construction. It was long, tall and narrow, with a base of sheet iron for oil-heating. I covered the iron with a mixture of sharp sand and cement over which, after it had set, I applied several coats of black bituminous paint. Then, following plenty of soakings and changes of water, I introduced some young angel fish. I was fortunate enough to have the two sexes present and before a year was out a pair bred. I succeeded in raising a few dozen fry.
In the late 1920s and early 1930s oil or gas was in common use for heating tropical tanks though submersible electric heaters had already made their appearance on the market. Mr. Leslie Katterns, a well-known aquarist-dealer of Kentish Town, used to advertise "Electric heaters with four different heats, and guaranteed". Some dealers even stocked German air and water pumps too. For all that, pumps to aerate the water were not in general use except among a small minority of ordinary aquarists or those enthusiastic beginners who could afford them. The balanced aquarium still reigned supreme.
Among the most inventive of aquarist-dealers was Charles Schiller, who installed tanks in Buckingham Palace, transatlantic liners and constructed and maintained the spectacular aquarium on the roof of Selfridge's famous store in Oxford Street. Understandably, this superb aquarium was dismantled before Hitler's Luftwaffe spread death and destruction over most of Europe.
The Schiller System of filtration was, I believe, the best then known, and the inspiration for many of the improvements in aquarium hygiene which came after the war.
Mr. Schiller's aquarium shop, situated in a narrow court off Wigmore Street, was one of my favourite ports of call. His craftsmen-built tanks were never anything but beautifully planted and spotless and he specialized in rare fishes from all parts of the world. If I remember right, Charles Schiller was the first dealer to offer the neon tetra for sale, though he may have been beaten to the post by Messrs. Pope and Robertson, in nearby Weymouth Street. The initial importation of neons into England caused quite a sensation and resulted in quite a few write-ups in the national press. They retailed at a high price, were sold out within the space of a week or so but by 1936 went for a mere £3 a pair. Marine fishes from the Red Sea and south-east Asia were often seen about this time. The saltwater necessary for their well-being was the genuine article and was commonly taken from various points off the south coast.
Previous to opening the shop in Weymouth Street, Mr. Pope was in charge of Gamage's aquarium department. Increasingly this great store offered for sale rare breeds of fancy goldfish, tropical freshwater fishes and tropical marines. I can still see in my mind's eye a massive tank housing several large Selenotoca multifasciata. For a decorative aquarium, these fish of the family Scatophagidae could hardly be bettered. Why do we not see them now ?
There were two routes to Gamage's fish department. One was through a maze of lawn-mowers, garden forks, and the like, while the other meant hurrying along a narrow passage crammed on both sides with boxes of soap, myriad bottles of scent and jars of cosmetics.
Not unnaturally there was no shortage of dealers or part-time dealers who made extravagant claims in the aquarium press about the amazing variety of fishes they had for sale. Yet after journeying miles across London, on bus or tram, all that could be seen in these places never seemed to amount to more than some short-tailed guppies, common or gold, the ubiquitous Mexican green swordtail and moon platies.
However, one dealer residing in Lordship Park almost always had what he advertised for sale. He traded under the name of S. Robinson, and it was not unusual to find some hundred or more different species of fish in his tanks. Quite a few years before the war broke out, I obtained from Mr. Robinson the spiteful black paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis concolor), the chocolate gourami, various puffers, Cutter's reasonably peaceful cichlid and 'new' livebearers such as the dainty little Quintana atrizona, the female of which species presented me with small batches of tiny fry every so often.
Another magnet for the ardent hobbyist was a shop in Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea. The proprietor of this well-stocked shop introduced to aquarists the so-called water aspidistra (Anubias lanceolata). I bought a plant for the equivalent in old money of 38p and it took all of a year for one new rhododendron-like leaf to unfold. This very slow growth no doubt explains why species of anubias, good plants for a partial-shady position, are not easy to come by today.
Always keenly interested in submerged plants, I set about importing rarities from Al Greenberg's fabulous plant nursery and fish farm in Florida. It used to take about a fortnight for the plants I ordered to reach me and most of them arrived dead. All the same, the few rhizomes, corms or cut stems which survived the long journey justified the expense. At least I always thought so.
There seems little doubt that I was the first aquarist to grow and bring to the attention of hobbyists in the British Isles the plant once known in America as the Texas Mud Baby (Echinodorus cordifolius). My article on the splendid plant, which was first brought to my attention in C. H. Peters' Home Aquarium Bulletin (U.S.A.), appeared under the erroneous name of Sagittaria guayanensis in the July-August, 1936 issue of this magazine. Boschmann of Rotterdam was another fruitful source of plant rarities. Now and again uncommon plants were to be found at Cura's. Before World War II, L. Cura & Sons (of goldfish fame) had a London depot in Clerkenwell. At Cura's one rang a bell to be admitted to what appeared to be a large warehouse. The atmosphere inside was about equal in temperature but not in smell to the great Palm House at Kew. A member or employee of the Cura family used to lead me from room to room in order to reach the fish I was intent on buying. On many occasions I had to step wide over boas and other large snakes lying S-shaped or piled in tight coils on the floor, or step inside to permit enormous tortoises to proceed in arthritic stumbles in every direction. Cura's always appeared to be better stocked with reptiles and amphibians than tropical fishes but a visit there was never a waste of time.
Londoners of about my age will remember Gay's Noah's Ark, a few hundred yards from Waterloo Station and nearly as well-stocked with birds, mammals, fishes and other things behind glass or bars as Palmer's of Camden Town. Trestle tables on which reposed baths filled with pond plants, molluscs and Daphnia stood outdoors in nearly all weather. During the spring and summer months the display was much more varied, and it must have been a laborious task carrying all the terrapins, tench, gudgeon, young pike and so on to the safety of the shop at night. There was a greater choice of coldwater fish in the old days. De Von's of King's Cross Road usually had some ten or twelve different species in stock. A dedicated breeder-dealer was Mr. Campion of Acton Street, a few minutes' walk from De Von's. Show quality fancy goldfish were to be found here and a score or two of tropicals, all bred on the premises.
My first book on tropical fishkeeping was published by Cage Birds & Aquaria World in 1935. Before this, however, articles of mine on tropicals had appeared in a wide variety of monthlies and weeklies published in this country and the U.S.A. And mention of the U.S.A. reminds me that through the kindness of the late William T. Innes, best remembered for his Exotic Aquarium Fishes, now in its 19th edition, I received one of the first four Amazon Sword Plants to come into this country. The other three went to W. S. Pitt, F. Austin Watson, then editor of The Aquarist, and that truly erudite aquarist, Mr. Barry Funnell of St. Leonards-on-Sea.
What of present-day fishkeeping? Well, I find some of the commercialism which was not so blatant in the old days rather disturbing. For there is no question that a number of dealers appear to find a busy cash-register of greater importance than acquiring much knowledge about the livestock they sell. On the other hand, there are dealers in all parts of the country who are founts of knowledge—one not a few minutes' walk from Victoria Station, for example—and give of it freely to their customers.
Probably in these inflationary times the emphasis must be on operating our lighting and heating systems as cheaply as possible. Which brings to mind a dealer who during the latter half of the 1930s had his business premises on Blackheath Hill. This dealer used to manufacture and market a specially built unit of tanks housed inside a plywood cabinet well-finished enough to stand in any room. The inside roof and part of the upper walls were lined with looking-glass. A few inches below the roof a few electric lamps were mounted. A few low wattage lamps were placed at floor level, that is under the bottom row of tanks. The heat inside this cabinet was tropical indeed and the light reflecting from the top bright enough to grow almost any plant. Perhaps some imaginative reader good with tools and aided by all the clever electrical apparatus and adhesives now on the market could improve on this innovation. Clearly, it's worth a go.

Between Uber, Lyft, Gett and Sidecar (now defunct), I've taken hundreds of trips by way of ride-share service. I've never had an accident or an aggressively negative knowledge, but there have been occasional problems. The most widespread is a driver who accepts rides seemingly without having any intention of choosing up the passenger. This can happen with drivers who operate both Uber and Lyft simultaneously they will accept rides on both platforms to keep their acceptance price high (essential to get incentive bonuses) but complete only one of them.

With maps and an address, it can be accomplished.Acquiring INTO TOWN: The Airport Bus has six routes serving key landmarks and hotels for a mere 16 yuan, about $2.30 at an exchange rate of 7 yuan to the dollar. A higher-speed rail link, set to open this summer season, will whisk passengers to the Dongzhimen subway station in 16 minutes. Possibly the easiest selection for a 1st-time visitor is a taxi, which need to price about one hundred yuan, to most Beijing hotels.

Hong Kong's ageing crisis is fast approaching and here's what we need to do
Diverting funds from the Hospital Authority is a good first step, among other efforts, needed to reshape our communities so they become more elderly-friendly
Related topics
It was 3.20pm in the afternoon on September 23 – just over two months ago – that my father rasped his final breath after a grisly two-year battle with cancer. I now understand what people mean when they talk of a "death rattle".
Despite the desperate sadness, I will always recall his passing as a "happy death" – not just because he was 88 and had lived until the age of 86 in robust good health, nor because the descent was mercifully steep. More than anything else it was "happy" because he died with my mum and all of us five kids around him, and because he was never hospitalised. Even through the worst final days, he was at home, and was able to die exactly where he wanted to be. My father's fervent wish was always to avoid incarceration in a hospital as he died.
As I understand it, this is the ideal of what "ageing in place" is all about. Elderly people do not want to be uprooted and institutionalised in those final, often challenging, months or years. They want their lives to remain as normal as possible. They want friends and family around them. They want the dignity of independence rather than being infantilised by hospital or nursing home routines.
And the medical profession worldwide is beginning to agree. Just read Atul Gawande's Being Mortal for an inspiring but sobering assault on how current mainstream medical approaches to management of those final fragile years are failing our communities, and the benefits of enabling "ageing in place". Not only do the elderly live longer and more happily, but governments save money. It cost hugely less to equip my parents' house with devices that made it safe for dad to live at home, to bring in a proper hospital bed to make sure he did not get bed sores, and bring nurses to my father, than it would have done to occupy a hospital bed through his final months.
So far, so obvious. Except that this is precisely not what our own Hong Kong government is doing. In 2014 (the latest year for which we have numbers) 90 per cent of the 46,000 people who died did so in a hospital bed. Over 40 per cent of our 38,000 hospital beds are occupied by elderly patients. As the Hospital Authority makes the case for a HK$200 billion programme to build more hospital wards and add elderly care homes, so the Housing Authority says it does not have the funds to build more housing for the elderly, nor to "retrofit" existing homes to make them safe and livable for the elderly infirm. We are failing to build convenient community clinics embedded close to peoples' homes. We are actively ignoring the role that private sector care homes might play. And we are head-in-the-sand in terms of training carers in the numbers that will be needed for our rapidly ageing society.
It would be comical if it were not tragic that between them, the Housing Authority, the Hospital Authority, the Health and Welfare Bureau, the Elderly Commission, the Poverty Commission and other concerned official and advisory bodies cannot work together to provide a holistic solution that not only saves us money and provides a more effective solution to the ageing challenge, but also closely matches the deeply felt needs of most of our elderly and their families.
Few in government seem to appreciate the speed at which a crisis is approaching. In the three decades to 2045, the number of people in Hong Kong aged over 65 will rise from just over 1 million to over 2.5 million – an increase on average of 50,000 a year. In the coming decade alone, the number of homes occupied by elderly only will rise by 200,000 – from 350,000 to 550,000 – to account for around 20 per cent of all households.
The Housing Authority says it does not have funds to build on the scale needed to accommodate the needs of our elderly. The thought that some of the funds currently being set aside to build hospital wards and elderly homes for them could be diverted to the Housing Authority seems not to have occurred to them. Or at least silos sit in the way.
A single glimmer of comfort comes from the fact that a template for action has already been tailor-made for the government. The Housing Society, headed by Marco Wu, has devoted significant resources to building homes that enable "ageing in place". They divide the elderly into three: the "young old" (who need homes that enable independent living); the "middle old" who need "assisted living" that includes some home support services; and the "old old" who may also need dedicated facilities like care homes, rehabilitation centres or dementia centres.
For the rich, they have built a marvelous 588-unit development called Tanner Hill that has all of these components built in – elderly friendly design, an integrated medical clinic, panic button alarms to bring nursing staff straight to your door, and a wide range of in-home facilities to enable even fragile elderly to live at home safely. But for low income communities they have begun fitting and retrofitting homes with similar "ageing in place" features. For the government they have provided a template that can work – provided that land premiums are waived.
So far the Society has built 576 units under their Senior Citizens' Residential Scheme. The only problem here is that with the elderly population rising by 50,000 a year, this scheme needs to be multiplied 200-fold. Clearly this is a job not for the not-for-profit Housing Society, but for the government and the Housing Authority.
The way forward is clear: Funds need to be diverted from the Hospital Authority. All new developments – private or public – should be required to include elderly-friendly features that make it possible for the elderly to age safely at home. Land premium waivers should be used to incentivise these provisions. A budget must be allocated for large-scale retrofitting of homes to meet the immediate needs of the elderly. A proportion of the hospital building budget should be diverted to building large numbers of community-based medical centres. And we need an explosion in training for carers.
All this needs is joined-up government. We need our leaders to come out of their silos to meet a massive social challenge. If only I could be optimistic this will happen.

Happy Tuesday folks. I thought I would share with you a card I made yesterday for a commsisioned order.
The request was a cute card for an 80th in pink and purple. With that in mind I set about looking through my cds and digi to find just the right image, here is what I came up with.
I used an image from Country Companions disc, i chose this as the flowers are both pink and purple. I created the sentiment using My Craft Studio, the number are cut from Alphalicious cricut cart. The butterflies is a 3d punch that I cut out so the butterfly was stand alone. The roses I made following a tutorial made by Stephenie Weightman and I had these already made in my stash.
The card itself is A4 on the back layer but the front is cut smaller to 8in, the border munch is by MS and the ribbon was in my stash. The Bp is afrom Dovecraft's back to basics 8x8 pad.
I have sprayed the whole thing with crafters companion glitter spray but the pic hasnt picked that up very well.
I would like to enter this into the challnge over at Papertake Weekly for their challenge of Buttons, bows, bling and blooms.
I hope you like it, any feedback would be greatly appreciated as always

We are invited to a friend's house for dinner tonight and I wanted to bring a "fresh" dessert. I also found a big batch of ripe strawberries at the store yesterday, so I thought I would just switch up her recipe a tiny bit...
*make the scones circle shaped instead of triangles
*cut up some strawberries to put on top
*and then drizzle with the vanilla glaze!
Pure yumminess! We sampled some last night, and it is like a scone-ish version of strawberry shortcake :)
Here is her recipe::
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- ⅔ cups Sugar
- 5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 2 sticks (1/2 Pound) UNSALTED Butter, Chilled
- 1 whole Large Egg
- ¾ cups Heavy Cream (more If Needed)
- 2 whole Vanilla Beans
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar, Sifted
- ½ cups Whole Milk
- 1 whole Vanilla Bean
- Dash Of Salt
Preparation InstructionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees.
Split the vanilla beans down the middle lengthwise and scrape out all the vanilla "caviar" inside. Stir caviar into cream. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Sift together flour, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut cold butter into pats, then use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Keep going until mixture resembles crumbs.
Mix vanilla cream with egg, then combine with flour mixture; stir gently with a fork just until it comes together.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle. (Mixture will be pretty crumbly.) Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary.
Use a knife to trim into a symmetrical rectangle, then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical squares/rectangles. Next, cut each square/rectangle in half diagonally, to form two triangles.
Transfer to a parchment or baking mat-lined cookie sheet and bake for 18 minutes, removing from the oven just before they start to turn golden. Allow to cool for 15 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. *(if making small circles- only bake for about 10 minutes)*
To make the icing, split one vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the caviar. Stir caviar into milk; allow to sit for awhile. Mix powdered sugar with the vanilla milk, adding more powdered sugar or milk if necessary to get the consistency the right thickness. Stir or whisk until completely smooth.
One at a time, carefully dunk each cooled scone in the glaze, turning it over if necessary. Transfer to parchment paper or the cooling rack. Allow the glaze to set completely, about an hour. Scones will keep several days if glazed.

Samsung Galaxy 5 – Android Awesomeness
Recently, my mom's stone-age Nokia whose name I cannot even remember, had started giving her problems. She had really been wanting a new one, and I had my eye on Samsung's Galaxy 5 smartphone as the perfect choice for her. The Galaxy 5 is a Corby with engines replaced. Instead of Samsung's propreitary OS, it runs Google's Android 2.1 Éclair. At INR 9000, it is the most affordable Android smartphone in the Indian market. So Today, on the occasion of Vijaydashmi, I went to my local Mobile Store and bought it.
The phone delivers all that it promises. Samsung has cleverly lowered the processor speed, screen resolution and camera resolution of higher end phones , and has crafted a power-packed smartphone that is affordable. Its touch screen is not disappointing at all. Unlike most inexpensive touch phones, where you need to press hard and coax the UI to budge to your commands, this phone glides as smooth as its big brothers: The Galaxy S and The Milestone. I am really happy that Samsung has taken this step to increase the reach of its smartphones farther across its market. This phone is an excellent choice for anybody who wants to experience quality mobile software at a budget or someone who wants to make a switch from Nokia. I daresay, at the risk of being mauled by Nokia fans, that this is a good alternative to the E63. It lies in the same price-bracket, is more feature-rich, and adds a much needed touch of coolness to a smartphone.
For detailed tech-specs, you can see GSMArena's listing for this phone at: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i5500_galaxy_5-3371.php
Android's an awesome platform. So people who've got E63s or Corby's on their minds should definitely consider this first.

"Generally inspired by a couple specific sea changes that mean a lot to us. 1966 - Civil rights movements, war protest and LSD testing." (www.songfacts.com)
"I really wasn't sure what kind of feelings "Feel It Still" was actually expressing." (www.pluggedin.com)
Here's my humble take on it based on the Philippine political and historical scenario:
Feel It Still
Can't keep my hands to myself,
Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf, In case my little baby girl is in need
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
I been feeling it since 1966, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now
Let me kick it like it's 1986, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Got another mouth to feed
Leave it with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger
Is it coming back?
Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now
Might be over now, but I feel it still
Might've had your fill, but I feel it still
In the Philippines
An old political activist on the shelf puts her little girls need in front of issues she fought for in 1966.
She's a rebel just for kicks now although she's still feeling it from 1966. "The youth group Kabataang Makabayan was founded in 1964," It went full blast in 1966.
She's still kicking it in 1986, when Ferdinand E. Marcos, who ruled the Philippines under Martial Law was ousted in 1986. "Might be over now", activists feeling it still came rushing out of the closet for a few kicks. Some joined the local election, some went further into the hills.
The change in administration didn't bring change in government corruption and oppression of the masses.
The activist is reminiscing about the glorious days of the rebellion, wishing it to come back.
The activist is feeling it still about a lover/comrade but it's been over for a long time.
You've really not had your fill, if you feel it still.

Hi All, I've been lurking here for a few years while the vicissitudes of life take their course and might eventually leave me in a place where I've decided what boat to build and have the means to do it...
Anyway, in this month's Small Boats Monthly the Beer Beach Boat really caught my attention because:
1) It's local (as in UK local!) but probably just as suitable for Scottish waters
2) It's the right size to build in my garage or future planned (small) workshop
3) It has some protection from the elements for a family day on the water without being too complex on the superstructure requirements.
4) Low powered inboard diesel
5) I love the looks!
Can anyone point me towards plans for the home builder to make a boat like this, please? Something around 16' to 18'
Pretty much all the plans I've been contemplating have been plywood based or cold moulded. The Beer Beach Boat in question was larch planked. I think my preferred build technique would be glued lapstrake ply.
If I were to build such a boat it would likely spend most of its time on a trailer and be taken to wherever I fancied a day or two on the water.

Another wall glitch has surfaced for Mei in Overwatch where players can boost themselves through the environment to unintended locations.
According to a thread on the official forums, the wall glitch is doable in the hanger of Watchpoint: Gibraltar, between points A and B. Mei simply has to place her wall at the designated site for other players to climb themselves through the geometry.
This gives an unprecedented advantage over the opposing side. The player behind the environment can neither be seen nor targeted. The only thing visible is the fire animation clipping through the walls.
"A Bastion abused that and wiped our whole team, while we couldn't do much about it," exclaimed a disgruntled Overwatch player.
It's unknown if the bug already existed in the game or was introduced with a recent update. Blizzard has taken note and is currently investigating the wall glitch.
This is not the first time that Mei's walls have given trouble. A similar glitch was discovered previously by players in Watchpoint: Antartica where the wall could be scaled to get out of the map. Blizzard plugged that exploit in a patch update afterwards. It's likely that the developer will do once again in the days to come.
In other news, D.Va has been facing a tough time with her mech after the last update. A bug sometimes causes D.Va to eject herself out of the map completely. According to lead software engineer Bill Warnecke, a hot-fix for the bug has been completed. The update should be rolled out later today for Overwatch.
Yesterday, Blizzard announced that Overwatch has reached 25 million registered players. That's a major achievement for the team-based shooter, considering that it was only released last year. The game's first anniversary is at the end of next month. We might possibly see a special event to celebrate the occasion.

Ever since I saw a Instagram post of Anna Panna's adorbable eclairs I have been a little bit crazy about the idea of a new do on eclairs.
My Dad absolutely loves eclairs and last time he was here I took him to a lot of the local bakeries so he could have them. He loved them fresh and stuffed to the gills with whipped cream.
For me, I love something new, tantalizing, unusual, and pretty. So one day while in Riga I made a special trip to that area of town, just so I could try Anna Panna's eclairs. It was expensive but creative and I liked it!
This summer I have made some eclairs, nothing as fancy as I"d like to try because I am always short on time when I need them and don't have time to make the cream fillings I want to experiment with- but I will keep this idea burning and when I get that perfect reason I will play with my ideas till I get them perfect.
Until then here are my summer eclairs for various occasions 🙂
And these were made in honor of my sister coming to visit after 6 years. Yeah, I live across the ocean.

America: A land of freedom, liberty, democracy, and opportunity. And how did America get to be so great? How did it gain all of these incredible attributes? Adventure. The Spirit of Adventure is the spirit of every American man, woman, and child.
Even this man, woman, or child
People are asking, "Whatever happened to America? It used to be so great?" Yes, America was once great (at enslaving people and oppressing women and minorities). But America's greatness has not left her. It has evolved. Every time you shoot a text from an iPhone or get soap from a hands-free dispenser or eat a Double Down from KFC, you're partaking of the great American adventure.
Adventure oozes from the Double Down and congeals in the hearts of all!
Don't you want to be part of that adventure?
I'm offering the opportunity for little adventurers to participate in what I have dubbed Camp Adventurous's Adventure Camp for Adventurers. We will do things, and you will learn stuff. It may increase your resistance to extreme temperatures! It's always a surprise!
So send me a message if you want to participate, and maybe neither of us will die.

When I first met Sara and Alicia, I got a sense of quiet strength and fierce confidence. The two thirty-something friends have both been through a lot in their lives, but refuse to let that stop them.
When I spoke to Sara and Alicia I was learning about a small, organic farm that they run together. It wasn't until later that I learned the two young women are both veterans. It is that very humble and giving attitude that makes them both so special.
Sara, an air force veteran and military wife, lost her husband to cancer three years ago. It was during his sickness that Sara and her husband started looking in to a diet based in healthy foods- vegetables, fruits, meats, nuts and grains.
After her husband passed away, Sara purchased a farm, like the two of them had envisioned doing together. It was during this time that she began to realize the healing power of producing food. Working with her hands to grow food and take care of animals was beginning to help heal her physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Sara met Alicia during a conference for veterans learning how to farm. After the conference, Alicia packed her bags and moved states to work with Sara on the farm.
Both women have seen the struggles of veterans when returning from deployment. Alicia, a combat veteran, learned firsthand the transition to civilian life is tough. After losing military friends to suicide after deployment, she wanted to find a way to heal and eventually learned that agriculture was a way to do that, she said.
Today the operation is a small-scale sustainable farming business that has sheep, pastured chickens, turkeys, ducks, pigs, beehives, apples, pears, strawberries, peaches, a garden full of vegetables and more.
Sara and Alicia have grown the operation to become a place of healing for others as well. They offer education and training opportunities to veterans who want to get involved.
"Seeing veterans connect with the land and build relationships with animals is magic," Alicia said. "So much about being in the military involves destruction, but in agriculture you get to heal things."
A look at some of the questions:
What is a challenge you have faced?
The industry can feel male-dominated. However, there is a growing trend of women farmland owners and we're happy to be a part of that. It's pretty special.
Advice you have to others:
Band together. A lot of times there is sexism in farming, or in any industry for that matter. It's OK to have a voice.
Goals for the future:
Continue to work with the land and hope that other veterans will be able to reconnect with themselves through farming like we have.

How accurate is the first attack and MRI findings so that the diagnosis of MS is given? If negative then what?
MS is a clinical diagnosis supplemented by laboratory findings like MR imaging and spinal fluid analysis. The diagnosis can only be made after the first attack in a person with acute and chronic abnormalities on MRI consistent with certain specificity criteria. Acute lesions are currently defined by the presence of enhancement after the administration of gadolinium. If there are no enhancing lesions at onset, the current diagnostic criteria does not allow a definite diagnosis of MS.

Second Death
Some don't believe in a place called hell, but what about a Second Death? When we die, we die our natural death, however this may be. This is a temporary death. Then, we go to into a holding place because the Bible tells us once Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD returns, then we will be transformed and given our destination. Meaning? You either go onto Heaven to be with GOD, or you die a SECOND DEATH!
One of the passages that describes what the second death is can be found in the New Testament, the book of Revelation 21:8 "The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars – their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Revelation 2:11
King James Version (KJV)
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation 20:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:14
King James Version (KJV)
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 21:8
King James Version (KJV)
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
There is a natural body and a spiritual body.
But, don't get me wrong here…This 'Second Death' is not a spiritual death…unless you don't except Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. You see, metaphorically, our (mankind) soul was separated from GOD spiritually once Adam and Eve made their choice to sin.
Also, if your not a believer then your already spiritually dead!
And as a Believer, we escape the SECOND DEATH!
So, are you damned to die a Second Death? Don't give your soul eternal condemnation!
This reminded me that the Sons of GOD (angels) have this same choice. And some choose not to accept GOD. Can you believe that satan convinced them he was enough? Unreal. And more…he's still convincing mankind too! It's not about FEAR….it's about KNOWLEDGE!

Legos & Yogurt Go Hand in Hand With Text Marketing Campaign
Warner Brothers and Dannon, two names familiar and enjoyable to most of us, have learned just how effective text message marketing really is. Neither company had used this form of marketing until recently when the pair teamed together to create one outstanding campaigns . This campaign included of a new exciting yogurt for children, the new The Lego Movie coming to theaters, and the Hispanic community.
Dannon introduced a new line of Danimals Greek Yogurt products with the help of text marketing, offering the chance for consumers to text to win an exciting package that included tickets to the Lego Movie, a VIP tour of Warner Bros. Studio and of course autographed posters from the movie. All that was required to enter the contest was to text the word Dannon to a special short code number.
Since consumers often decide the products they will purchase while they're shopping at the market, Dannon decided this was the perfect opportunity to allow them to interact with the brand while at the same time taking a shot at winning a totally awesome prize. And, since kids love The Lego Movie, what better way to get their attention to the yogurt?
The main promotion conducted was aimed at the Hispanic population. It is so often that actual metrics with this group of people are unknown, thus the campaign aimed to help them learn more about their buying habits while engaging them with healthy food choices.
Since Dannon wanted to promote this yogurt to younger children, The Lego Movie, a film aimed toward a younger audience, worked perfectly. It was CausePlay that created the campaign which was promoted throughout the Southern California area. Inside of supermarkets throughout the area there were signs placed advertising the promotion, along with displays on the shelf. Dannon also took things one step further and offered promotions of the text to win contest through ads in newspapers and magazines and on radio as well. Each of the advertising methods detailed how to enter the contest for a shot at the prize, and offered the chance to download a super cool phone or computer wallpaper.
There wasn't only one prize being offered. There were a total of four grand prize packages available. Each package includes 4 VIP tickets to tour the studio, along with a signed poster and four tickets to see The Lego Movie.
Mr. Mino, the creator of the text program, tells us that Dannon has never held a campaign via SMS in the past. Furthermore there was not a list opt-in with the promotion, since it was the first campaign. Plans for offering this optional opt-in will be available in future promotions, according to Mino, once people have become accustomed to how text message marketing works. Mr. Mino says that he believes the Hispanic community, which Dannon solely wants to target with this campaign, can greatly benefit with text marketing.
Why was text marketing chosen for this campaign? According to Mr. Mino SMS has proven itself effective time and time again, and it is easy. It is wonderful for customer-client communication and interaction as well. He fully believes that engaging the Hispanic community through text message marketing will offer a broader spectrum for the Dannon name.

Introducing Burstcoin
The new Proof of Capacity coin
Burstcoin is the worlds first HDD mineable coin. It is based on NXT and uses a new algorithm, Proof of HDD Capacity (POC) for mining.
It is currently traded on Bittrex, c-cex and Poloniex.
Launched on August 2014
NXT based
Proof of Stake removed
No Premine
4 minute block time
2,158,812,800 coins total
Block reward starts at 10.000 / block, then decreases 5% each month
Uses POCminer made for this coin
How does it work?
Instead of mining with an expensive CPU/GPU/ASIC, Proof of Capacity allows the user to mine with their hard drive disc space.
Miners create so called "plot" files on their hard drive disks that act as a hashrate. So bigger HDD space used, bigger hashrate.
The miner then periodically scans each plot to see if it can mine a block. Between these scans, the hdd and CPU can stay idle. Once the blocks are counted, the miner knows how long it will be before these blocks can produce a new block.
So mining takes only a little of electricity, cpu power and network bandwidth.

The South Australian Labor government has committed to returning trams to an inner-Adelaide retail precinct if it wins the March election.
Premier Jay Weatherill says the $279 million three-kilometre extension will mark the return of trams to Norwood Parade for the first time in more than 60 years.
"Expanding our tram network will attract investment, boost economic growth and encourage urban renewal," Mr Weatherill said on Sunday.
Mr Weatherill said the project was expected to support 145 jobs each year during the two-year construction phase.
The new line will incorporate five new stops and will link up with an extension along North Terrace that is near completion.
"There will also be jobs and prosperity associated with the better connections between the city and Norwood," the premier said.
"This is part of a broader investment in our tram network which is about opening up jobs and prosperity to the metropolitan area."
But Opposition Transport Spokesman David Pisoni said voters should not believe the Labor promise of the Norwood line.
"Announcing extensions of the tram network before an election and dropping them after the election is a parlour game Labor plays with the electorate," Mr Pisoni said.
