"Brought this bunk bed as it's detachable. We have put up the bottom bunk and when the younges is old enough we will build into bunk beds. So far everything has been present and was easy to assemble. Seems sturdy and was delivered within a week and a half of purchase. It arrived later than time slot but driver called ahead to let us know. Only negative is I didn't realise that the draws are two singles and in which case i would have gotten two instead of one"

Good finished product. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. But...... some of the holes did not line up, particularly attaching the legs to the head and base board of the bottom bunk. This led to some creative DIY but a novice would have been stuck. Also some of the holes for the dowels were drilled too far so that they pushed through to the good side of the bed which split the wood and means we will now have to try to glue it and hope it looks ok

10 Rare Movie Auditions That Actors Don't Talk About
Every actor and movie star had to start somewhere. And that somewhere is the casting call. No matter how big and famous they are, every famous thespian began their career with an audition at some point. Hugh Jackman had a fluke audition for the role of Wolverine in X-Men and ended up playing the role for eighteen years, including in this year's Logan. Chris Pratt only played cuddly, burly bros before nailing an audition for Guardians of the Galaxy, proving that he could be an action star. Likewise, Robert Downey Jr. had to prove he could handle the role of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man before being cast in the first movie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Harrison Ford thought he was doing George Lucas a favour when he showed up to read lines for Han Solo. He didn't even know he was in contention for the role, but he was so good that he got it anyway! Other times, an actor might addition for one role, but land another, like when Tom Hiddleston auditioned for the role of Thor, but ended up landing the role of Loki and stealing the movie out from under Chris Hemsworth's divine, Nordic nose. But perhaps the most impressive rare audition of all belongs to Daisy Ridley, an unknown who landed the lead role in JJ Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Brooklyn Park Police Officer Shoots, Wounds Man
BROOKLYN PARK (AP) — Hennepin County authorities are investigating a police-involved shooting in which a Brooklyn Park police officer shot and wounded a man.
The shooting happened Saturday about 11 p.m. in a Brooklyn Park parking lot.
Police were dispatched to a report of a fight. After they arrived, one officer fired at least one shot, injuring a person. The victim has been hospitalized. Sheriff's spokeswoman Jennifer Johnson didn't immediately know his condition Sunday or whether the injury was considered life-threatening.
Johnson says she's not aware whether the officers were also fired upon, nor whether the officer fired more than one shot. She says the incident is still in the early stages of investigation.
At the police department's request, the sheriff's office is handling the investigation.

The Boomers: The Story of Adonis, A Story of Our Generation
brother, Bobby, had a different story. Bobby would share the tale of how a mansion once stood where our house was and for many years, a famous rock band had lived there. The band did as rock stars do and partied hard until one frightful winter's night when a mysterious fire had burned the house to the ground and the band had perished. The noises I heard were that of the band still partying hard into the night and haunting us within our property. This was scary stuff for a young boy.
house I grew up in. He continued to share that he and the band had lived there until a mysterious fire burned the house to the ground and displaced them. In other words, there were no deaths.
While my brother now claims, "it was a different band".. I'm certain now that it was just the new house settling. ...or was it?
In any case, I share this story because Michael Macari recently penned a book reflecting on his times with his band. Including the cast of characters that accompanied them on their journey towards the top. The book is called "The Boomers: The Story of Adonis, A Story of Our Generation". It is emblematic of an entire generation of people and the experiences they shared in life. From garages to clubs to concerts- during the post- 1960s.
recounts many names, clubs, and the various neighborhoods of the 1960's and 70's in vivid detail. Macari remembers his time spent at clubs like Rapsons (here in Stamford) and
Detroit (a huge rock club in Port Chester) in the late 70s. Bands like Twisted Sister, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper's band, Kiss and others are recalled in real and personal stories.
Boomers' - the largest generation in history- move into our twilight years, we seek once again to relive, to remember, to celebrate the times that bind", he adds. "Perhaps there are a few treasures still left to be discovered."
Adonis consisted of Steven Matsis on bass guitar, Peter Klein on guitar and vocals, Ben Lionetti on drums and percussion, and Michael Macari on lead Vocals and acoustic guitar; all from Stamford. The multi-talented keyboardist Tom Mackno was from Norwalk.

Denver-based Company Finds All It Needs Right Here in Connecticut
Stamford, CT: July 23, 2014
Those "Dudes" parachuted into Connecticut this past week. You know- Jake, Terry, John and Matt- those military and special forces characters who travel the world seeking adventure- and creating mayhem weekly on Discovery Channel's "Dude, You're Screwed".
And this time, they were enabled by one of Connecticut's own- EVTV of Stamford.
EVTV, a thirty year veteran of TV and film, made its first foray into the world of reality TV for Discovery Channel's "Dude You're Screwed" (http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/dude-youre-screwed), proving the television industry is alive and well here in Connecticut for world-class production; the company packed two weeks of production and location logistics in and around upstate Connecticut for the series second season.
Working with High Noon Productions out of Denver, EVTV pinch-hit for the series' producers and secured airplanes, skydiving, fire vehicles, farms, production support and military training facilities throughout Connecticut for the four day shoot. The episodes were shot in Southington at the military training facilities at King 33, Ellington Airfield and Cooke Farms in Wallingford. They are scheduled to run on Discovery in November.
"Connecticut had so much to offer this series", states Michael Macari of EVTV, who served as Unit Production Manager for the twenty-man crew and cast. "They've shoot around the world, and found exactly what they needed for these episodes right here".
"Not only was Mike the perfect choice as our UPM/Fixer",, states Steve Lukanic, Senior Producer for High Noon, " but we couldn't have done it without him and his team!"
Since 1984, EVTV has produced a wide-variety of TV, cable and communications programming (www.evtv.net) . To discuss the project in greater detail, please call at 203-359-8777, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mattel makes job cuts
Mattel has this morning revealed that it will be cutting 1,000 positions worldwide - about three per cent of its worldwide work force - saying that the current economic climate "amplified [its] need to address the appropriate future structure of the business".
An official statement from the toy giant said the job cuts would be a combination of layoffs, the elimination of open requisitions, attrition and retirements.
The statement said:
"Recently Mattel undertook a strategic initiative to analyze its cost structure to identify tangible opportunities to drive higher productivity and effectiveness in all areas of its global business. As this analysis was nearing completion, the global economy entered one of its most challenging and difficult periods in the last 100 years. The current economic environment has amplified the company's need to address the appropriate future structure of the business, which includes streamlining its global workforce.
"The recent action means the net reduction of approximately 1,000 positions across the organization worldwide through a combination of layoffs, the elimination of open requisitions, attrition and retirements. In total, the reductions represent about three per cent of the company's worldwide workforce, or eight per cent of the company's global professional and management staff.
"This decision was an extremely difficult one; particularly considering the impact this action will have on our employees and their families. We are committed to treating every employee fairly, and with dignity and respect. In order to help our employees through this difficult transition, we will be offering severance benefits, outplacement services and other transitional support for eligible affected employees."

Uptown Death Squad by Nick Cato
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
When Ronald Washington III returned to his old neighborhood after five years in Vietnam, he just wanted to relax for a while, get laid, and try to get back to normal life. But when his mother is murdered because of his brother's mistake, Big Ron is going to get answers the only way he knows how!
I'm a big fan of 70s funk music so I've watched a few blaxploitation movies in my day, mostly for the soundtracks. When this came up on my Amazon recommendations one day, I decided to take the plunge.
Uptown Death Squad is an homage to the blaxploitation films of the 1970's. Big Ron kicks ass on whitey with the power of a hundred Shafts and Dolomites. For the most part, it's a pretty linear revenge tale with Ron and company dealing out violence on the dirty Eye-Talians that are invading their neighborhood.
Nick Cato's love for the subject matter is abundantly clear on every page. It's a fun, violent story but that's pretty much all it is. It doesn't stray into spoof territory, like Black Dynamite, but doesn't break any new ground either. While I enjoyed it, it feels like a distillation of quite a few blaxploitation movies without a whole lot of originality to it. Three out of five stars.

The rugby league community in Papua New Guinea says stability is here to stay after a new board was unanimously voted in at last week's Annual General Meeting in Lae.
The sport had been plagued by infighting and court battles in recent years but officials insist the only drama now will be take place on the field, not off it.
Vinnie Wylie reports:
The new board was elected to a three year term on Friday, with Don Fox beating out former chair John Numapo for the top job. Mr Fox had been in charge of an interim adminstration since November last year and says their re-election is a signal things are on the right track.
"What sort of rammed it home is that we had our board meetings in various parts of the country. Our last board meeting was in Mount Hagen - we had about 35 Presidents from around the Highlands. And it's probably the first time it's happened that we've been able to sit down and talk to them and listen to what their issues and problems were and said 'Right, lets try and fix things'. And we did that all around the country. That showed the people that the interim board that we had was willing to not only listen but try and do things to help everything."
An amended constitution was also passed unanimously at the meeting. Tas Batieri from the Rugby League International Federation has made his fair share of trips to PNG over the last few years but says this was an AGM he was happy to miss.
The fact that I wasn't there was a good omen because the last four I've attended never occurred, they were abandonded, and I must have been a bad omen so they have got their act together. There was a unanimous decision at the AGM which was pleasing, especially in a critical year towards the World Cup.
The head coach of PNG Kumuls, Adrian Lam, welcomes the new appointments and says, now that some stability has been established, it's time to focus on the players.
I've been involved with rugby league up here in Papua New Guinea, for over 20 years now - as a player and captain, and now coach - and it's the best thing that could happen for our sport up there. We've certainly been getting a lot of support from corporate companies, the local government and also the Australian government, through AusAid, so now there's great signs ahead. We've put a high performance programme together, which will go over five years now. We've brought Mal Meninga on board as Director of Rugby League. So we're now going to implement that elite level programme in and also get our junior development programmes right and also looking at an academy.
Don Fox says supporting the Kumuls on their path to the Rugby League World Cup is the new board's immediate priority and they're also keen to invest in the grassroots over the coming three years.
The focus has really got be switched from the administration, or people like myself, to really the game itself and the players and the coaching and the quicker that can happen the better for everyone. Now that we've overcome the, shall we say, the small mountain that we had to climb, we can see our way clear to move on and improve the game. It's all there, it's just a matter of pulling it together. That will take time, and now that we've got some good people involved we can get some credibility back and that's what people are wanting.
The Kumuls have test matches against Fiji and Scotland lined up before the World Cup kicks off in October.

My mind has been working over time the last week. My thoughts went a little out of control and with a bit of less sleep I let them take hold. I have struggled at times to process everything that was happening around me. There were tears, some laughter and a crazy chat with an insurance guy (that made me laugh and distracted me) but also some serious thoughts.
I thought asking to have respite care at home was wrong.
I thought it made me a failure as a mother.
I thought I shouldn't need that extra help as I should be able to cope and manage on my own.
I thought I was doing ok.
I thought the tears that daily flowed were ok.
I thought I would feel uncomfortable.
I thought I could do it all.
I wanted to do it all.
I was wrong.
But as the day drew closer a realization that I was starting to become a little excited about some extra help. A little excited because for three hours, (twice a week for only six weeks) Faith would have a companion to read stories to her, do craft (she asks to do craft quite regularly during the day), be her hands to learn, grab, grow, explore and spend time talking to her. At first she was shy, but a walk around the neighborhood and some bee craft later, Faith made a friend. From then on Faith would tell me her companion was there for her and I shouldn't talk to her too much.
But, there is nothing like a stroll in the sunshine to clear the mind, soak up the beautiful Spring weather and just have some quiet peaceful moments. Days might be hard and many battles to fight and compromise on but there is many blessings. The only exception that, is magpie swooping season and we narrowly avoided a magpie attack. The man walking towards us with a stick above his head was a warning for us to take another route. His zig zag direction to confuse the magpie was not entirely working as it flew low and straight at him. But then there were tears as that was the direction Faith wanted to go and we didn't want to risk the wrath of the magpie.
Today, I realised the blessing of receiving some extra help and support. I didn't realize how much I needed that support but sadly in six weeks it will end (no more funding). But we are blessed to have six weeks of a companion for Faith. An extra pair of hands allowed me not to worry about Faith when I was making my numerous phone calls and completing my piles of paper work. Or perhaps I'd forget it all and play with the little man while his sister was distracted. It was such a relief to have some support during the day.

1935: USSR sells the Chinese Eastern Railway (Kitayskaya Vostochnaya Zheleznaya Doroga, KVZhD) to the government of Manzhouguo. The railway was built in 1897-1901. It was a shortcut which started from near Chita and led to Vladivostok via Harbin. The main way, Trans-Siberian railway, made a huge bent skirting the Chinese border along Amur. After the WWI, since 1924, the railway belonged to both USSR and China. When the Japanese occupied Manchuria and formed the puppet Manzhouguo state, the constant provocations and the refusal of Japan to sign a non-aggression pact with the USSR made the Soviets to sell the KVZhD to the government of Manzhouguo in 1935. After the liquidation of Manzhouguo in 1945, USSR and China once again became co-owners of KVZhD. In 1952, after the Communist revolution in China, KVZhD was handed over to the new Chinese friends of the USSR for free.
1982: In 1982, Leonid Brezhnev awarded the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic with the order of Lenin, the highest award of the USSR. He arrived to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan and planned to visit the Tashkent aviation plant. He was tired though after the first days, the program of the visit was very dense and it was decided to cancel the visit to the plant. In the morning Brezhnev visited a textile factory and a tractor factory and the cavalcade was returning to the residence when Brezhnev looked at his watches and said: "We've got some free time. We promised to visit the factory. The people there must be waiting for us. No good. There'll be questions, rumours... Let's go there."
Rashidov, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan, agreed and, in spite of objections of Brezhnev's chief security officer Ryabov, turned towards the aviation plant. Indeed, thousands of people gathered and were waiting for their arrival. There were so many people that many of them climbed the scaffolds surrounding the airplanes. When Brezhnev passed under the airplane's wings, people gathered on one side of the scaffolds and struts broke. A huge wooden platform, about 50 meters long and 4 meters wide, fell on the general secretaries and their retinue. Some guards who were not struck by the debris, picked the platform and held it for two minutes while the people were getting from under it.
Brezhnev's collarbone was broken and his ear was slightly damaged. Doctors demanded that he should return to Moscow immediately, but he refused. During the next two days, he participated in the celebrations, even though he looked ill. His speech was slow, movements were limited and it looked like he had a hangover. The research in Moscow proved that the bone was displaced, but the doctors were not sure if 75 years old Brezhnev will survive the surgery. The collarbone remained broken till his death half a year later.

Kajol to present special show 'The Manish Malhotra Magic' on Zee Muzic
MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Kajol is set to make her presence felt on the small screen hosting a special show on the music channel -- Zee Muzic on 21 April.
The channel will showcase The Manish Malhotra Magic at 9 pm. In the show, Kajol will share her insights on fashion icon Manish - the designer, the man and the friend. She will speak on Manish's paranoia, along with her penchant for his designs.
Commenting on this special Zee Muzic business head Irshwin Balwani said, "Manish has always been strongly associated with Bollywood. Keeping in mind the whole fashion season that's been going on, be it the Lakmé Fashion Week or the WLIFW, we decided to focus on one designer as a one hour special show. And since Zee Muzic is a Bollywood driven music channel, we thought Manish was apt for this special since he's synonymous with Bollywood like no other designer is."
He said, "We wanted someone who was articulate, who could present Manish correctly and knew him in and out as a person and as a designer, and we couldn't think of anyone bigger and better than Kajol. Kajol's is very closely associated with Manish and we couldn't think of anyone better, who would speak about him the way she has."
The one-hour special will showcase Manish's collection from Lakmé Fashion Week 2006. Kajol will also share her first experience on the ramp. Along with Kajol, Karisma Kapoor and Karan Johar, will share their thoughts on Manish Malhotra.

Rescue Date
6th July 2009
I am a pure bred working sheep dog. My previous human paid a lot of money for me as a pup, so his expectations were very high. You see some people believe that you can put a value on us animals, thankfully the good folk at Edgar's Mission do not. Somehow, I couldn't understand what exactly was wanted of me and my then owner got very mad with me. He said I was a bad dog and he beat me trying to get me to understand. I thought that very strange as it only confused me even more.
Deep down I have always wanted to have fun, I never wanted to herd the sheep and spoil their fun either. They all looked like they enjoyed hanging out together and didn't want a dog hassling them. But my owner didn't agree, he would rant and rave at me until he said he had had enough and took me to his mates place to shoot me. I got very scared and wet myself, I did this a lot whenever people raised their voices or even their hands I would fear the worst and would cower in fright.
I knew the man with the gun had a good heart, I am sure all you humans do, it's just that some hearts sleep more than others. I knew if I could awaken his sleeping heart he might just spare mine. When he got his gun, I jumped up on him. I know I am not meant to but I just wanted to take one last look into his eyes and maybe, just maybe I could see into his heart. A tear filled his eye as he said 'down dog, down'. He walked away and made a phone call.
The rest is the start of my life at Edgar's Mission. They opened their gate to me and their hearts. I am so glad they did, but I wondered how I could repay their kindness? Then I had an idea, I would make it my official duty to personally greet every visitor, both human and non-human to Edgar's Mission and ensure that there is never any doubt that they too feel the gentle touch (or in my case lick) of kindness. And who knows I may even wake up a few more hearts along the way!

The series will be organized by UAPO (United Athletes of the Pacific Ocean), WiLDCOAST, Baja Surf Club and Baja Bound Insurance, with the goal of promoting youth surfing, cultural exchange and environmental issues shared by the US and Mexico.

This new surf series is a testament to the idea of one ocean, one passion."

Baja Bound Insurance will be putting up a prize purse of $3,000 that will be awarded to the top three open men's and open women's points leaders at the final contest.

Dharamshala: ''Flames of Freedom'' is a daring, dramatic and thought provoking concept based on the current escalation of self-immolations in Tibet, initiated by a group of Tibetans, and others, in California. The ' burning man' concept incorporates elements of artistic and political protest which will be aimed at the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles, and perhaps more importantly, at American and World public opinion.
To date, forty two Tibetans, mostly within Tibet itself, have self-sacrificed their bodies in order to protest Chinese rule in Tibet.
To burn one's body is seen within the Tibetan Buddhist cultural tradition as the ultimate form of self-sacrifice; and the ultimate form of non-violence. The Buddha himself, according to the Buddhist historical canon, gave his body to a starving tigress and her cubs in one of his reincarnations.
Taken within this context, Tibetans burning their bodies is seen by the organizers of the event, and Tibetans in general, as a ''daring political defiance'', and crucially given the socio-religious context a ''choice that emphasizes peace.''
Furthermore, the pertinent question they ask at the moment is: if the world and China in particular ignores the issue of Tibet and the message of these martyrs, [is there] a chance that the movement may eventually turn violent?
The truthful answer is of course no one really knows. Yet, that is the question the organizers of the event urgently feel the need to ask. And, in a sense, the burning man solidarity event is symbolically asking that question of China.
The event itself will be held at the end of this month and will be performed by a Hollywood stuntman. The point they will try to make is that people are actually self-immolating for real in Tibet, and that the 'drama' of a staged event in California will mirror the real events in a very unfree and different society 'within China's borders'.
The organizers hope to enlist the help and support of well known Bollywood and Hollywood personalities including Whoopi Goldberg, Pooja Batra and Harrison Ford to highlight the campaign.

This is a very exciting time Lisa! I love renovating. We redid our kitchen a couple of years ago - it's country I guess you call it and Jeff has recently renovated a most wonderful slow combustion wood stove and it is now in and we just can't wait to light her up. It is such a comforting piece that warms your heart as well as cooks your food.
I know it will look awesome when it's finished as everything you put your mind to!
What a lovely room to run a workshop.
Warm hugs,

Hi Lisa, your renovation looks very industrious indeed, but I know it will be worth all the work, effort, and expense. I know what you mean about doing things yourselves....that is the way we roll around here also. If not for that, we would not live in the house we live in. Your kitchen is going to be wonderful!! And, your workshop, Oh what a treat for those ladies. Wish I could sneak in too. I know it will be awesome, love your artwork. I know you will be missed at Birdsong this year. I am not sure that I will be able to attend with it being in June...but we will see. Have a great day. It is snowing to beat the band here in NE Kansas this morning!! Blessings, Linda

Thanks for stopping by Lisa...am glad you liked the cookies. Thank you for your sweet words about our kitchen. I love the stove hood too, we made it together. I design, he builds, always a fun and sometimes controversial moment, but that is the fun of it, isnt' it? I would much rather do things that way than hire someone to come in and most likely not even do as good a job as what we would do...Blessings on your day.

Do you want to know what I hate? And I do it too, daily i'd say. I'm talking, of course, about lying. Telling porkies, fibbing, whatever you want to call it. It all amounts to the same thing.
I lie most days about my illness. I say 'I'm fine' or that I'm 'feeling much better' and even 'I'm great!' - when most days these replies couldn't be further from the truth. I have no idea why I do this. Perhaps to spare myself (and others) from going on endlessly about my various health woes, or to avoid having to focus on the negative and pretend my fibs are actually true?
Lying is something everyone is guilty of. As my favourite (not-real) doctor, Gregory House once said, "Everybody Lies". And he's a doctor so he should know. People lie everyday, little ones, big ones, some lie about having big ones when they have little ones.. Its the circle of lies.
Lying is a trait learned from a very young age. As a child baby learns if he cries Mum will come and give him the attention he craves, cuddle him or feed him. And thus the little liar gets his Rusk. Probably wasn't even hungry. Liar. People in adult-hood tell these lies for many reasons - it could be a 'little white lie' to spare someone's feelings; ("Of course you look gorgeous in that pink velour tracksuit darling! It brings out your eyes"), or for more sinister reasons; ("I have absolutely no idea where my wife is or how this bloodied knife ended up in my hand, Officer").
I've often lied to doctors and nurses about how I'm feeling - I don't want to complain or be seen to be a nuisance. Incredibly daft. They NEED to know how I am in order to be remotely able to make me feel better. Who does that lie I'm telling help? Not the doctor, and certainly not me. Crohn's is an incredibly tricky disease to pin down. It took years to establish what was wrong with me. It's also a challenge to treat, finding the right treatment can be a minefield. That's why it is so important to be honest with everyone from the word go. Get into detail with the doctors, don't be embarrassed, explain as best you can exactly how you feel, what affect it is having on you and don't leave anything out. It doesn't make you sound like a hypochondriac (unless of course you were fibbing about being ill in the first place) - it makes it 10 times easier for them to build up a profile of what's causing you the problem.
Lying is bad for you. Pinnochio learns this gem the hard way. My hooter is substantial enough as it is - can you IMAGINE if that fairy tale were actually true? I'd require a shopping trolley to transport my beak around with me. "Liar Liar Pants on Fire" is another childhood favourite, indoctrination into why lying is bad from a young age sprinkled with mild bullying. Having been brought up a Catholic, its deeply ingrained in me that I feel I should do 10 Hail Mary's every-time I say i've taken the bin out when truthfully i've forgotten (again).
The bottom line, and with Crohn's there's always a bottom-line, is that you want to get better, yes? So start by telling the truth. Don't hold back and let the people in the know help you. As for fibbing to my family and friends about my illness, I'm still trying to get better at that myself. Not an excuse of course, I know the areas I need to work on and i'll start by repeating my Hail Mary's after this is typed up. Would I lie to you?

Thats is a fine bit of writing and the telling the truth to the doctors is back on.It is sometimes hard for Crohnies to open up to doctors, let alone anybody else.ReplyDelete

Kathleen, i enjoy reading your blogs...they make me laugh & cry....xxxxxxReplyDelete
Thank-you! (unless you are both fibbing then shame on you!) It's very hard to open up but like most things the more you do it the easier it gets :)ReplyDelete
Hope you are both well x x

New risky investment possibilities after OPEC deal.
Two years of constant falls in oil industry were the main factor why OPEC members decided to cut production rate. After big spending cuts in 2015 and 2016 price per barrel is now above $50 and in economic forecast it should rise. Time has come for unaffiliated countries to think about making new investments until oil is still climbing up the ladder.
Although oil price is still low, Patric Pouyanne – chief executive officer of Total SA has warned that constant investments cuts can end up with oil-supply shortfall in next few years. Referring to this, they will consider whether to start developing expensive new projects.
Many influential people say, there's no looming supply gap, and this is why companies remain conservative, cutting spending in order to boost cash flow. In the last two years many companies have focused on expanding existing facilities, not creating new ones. Now because industry is so hard to sound out, it's just like skating on thin ice – no one knows how long will OPEC deal be respected. All investors know it and after two difficult years they don't want to risk any more. Although who will risk now can be really successful in the end.
Just before crisis in oil industry Total made major investments in new projects which had caused huge headache for this company in 2015 and 2016. Now Total is preparing to plan their capital spending in 2017, including development of the Libra deep-water field off Brazil, an onshore project in Uganda and second phase of the Zinia offshore field in Angola. Pouyanne said, that Libra and Zinia phase two could be extremely profitable with oil at $50.
Analytics claim that actual oil price increase would be short term rise, rather than long term one. This however does not change companies investment directions. Total is reducing capital expenditure to a range of $15 billion to $17 billion a year from 2017 to 2020, compared with $18 billion this year and a peak of $28 billion in 2013. Investing at this time in oil industry seems to be really hard thing to do wisely. As Guillaume Chaloin said: "Exploration at $40 per barrel is more complicated than at $100".

LNG Croatia – to be or not to be?
According to the latest Annual report (World Energy Outlook 2016) published by International Energy Agency few days ago, rise in global energy demand for 30% is expected to happen up to 2040. However, it seems that gradual changes are about to happen in the share of a modern fuels in global energy mix. Although fossil fuels demand is expected to decline in a coming decades, slope of its' increase in global energy mix is somewhat smaller than that from renewable and nuclear energy sources. Among all fossil fuels, natural gas is by far the best option when it comes to meeting the goals from Paris Agreement. In comparison to oil and coal, natural gas emits significantly lower amounts of CO2 when burning, therefore being more ecologically acceptable. Therefore, only natural gas sees an increase in consumption relative to today's needs.
Figure 1: Position of planned LNG regasification unit on Island of Krk (www.google.hr)
Implications stated in a previous paragraph show free space for development of new projects related to natural gas. One of them is a broader development of worldwide LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) projects. LNG terminals, either liquefaction or regasification, unlock the access to more remote sources of natural gas, being independent on existing pipeline grid and geopolitical issues associated
to it. Although European energy demand is expected to decline due to energy efficiency measures, the level of gas demand is likely to remain coupled to the economic activity. To ensure future security of gas supply, the European Union should definitely improve infrastructure, include new supply routes and LNG terminals to diversify dependence on a few suppliers.
Construction of LNG terminal, specifically regasification unit, in Croatia is not a new story. What is more, it has been a subject of many debates for a few decades. Position of the planned on-shore LNG terminal was Cape Zaglav on the Island of Krk in the Adriatic Sea with 6 bcm/y capacity. Geographical position of the planned terminal is promising because of specific position of Croatia on the European map, allowing supply for both south-eastern and central Europe. Sea depths at the location of the terminal allow docking of all LNG transportation vessels. One specific feature of the Adriatic Sea is that it penetrates in the hearth of Europe, therefore positioning itself among the fast and secure supply hub of goods for European countries (Figure 1).
Figure 2: Animated view on planned on-shore LNG regasification unit in Croatia (www.zavod.pgz.hr)
After the property and legal issues, without clear defining of financial model and strategic partners, Croatian government made a decision on construction of the on-shore terminal. In the same time, debate on much cheaper, faster and adoptable solution came up, as to be floating regasification terminal for LNG (Floating Storage Regasification Unit). The time of construction was reported to be much smaller, less time consuming, option to be cheaper and adoptable to market needs in terms of additional capacity installation. Another problem was to convince investors in profitability of the project since the gas consumption was continuously declining, both in Europe and Croatia, due to new technical advancements and energy efficiency measures. Today, new tender on preparing project documentation and special license issuing has finished, all of that for FSRU unit.
The importance of the construction of the LNG terminal in Croatia is in security of supply of Croatia and Europe, diversification of European supply corridors, connection with LNG terminal in Swinoujscie in Poland forming energy corridor north-south and strengthening Croatian energy position in the European natural gas market.
Direction of project development is known. Government brought a decision on construction of off-shore storage and regasification unit with the primary stage capacity of approximately 2 bcm/y which would satisfy Croatian gas demand and possible export capacities. Remaining questions rise up as who will be investors in the project, which markets will be supplied with this gas and from which locations and under which contracts. Croatia and Europe would definitely benefit from the construction of LNG terminal in Croatia but it is now the question of time when it will be realized since major number of regasification units in Europe are currently operating significantly under capacity. Hopefully, project will not only be actualized in situations of gas crisis in Europe as it was the case so far.

Weather impact on natural gas and LNG industry.
There are several factors which can impact the LNG industry, however, there is one which is completely independent from human actions. The nature of liquefied natural gas extraction and transport make weather conditions a serious factor which could affect the seasonality of LNG supply and largely affect the prices.
Due to the nature of LNG liquefaction process it is largely dependent on temperature variations. Output is much higher at cooler temperatures because the procedure requires the gas to be cooled down to approximately −260 °F. All the complexity of this process results in strong dependency of the LNG output on ambient temperature variations. Even as little as 1 ºC change can potentially impact the output – we read form Wood Mackenzie's report. (Wood Mackenzie, 2016)
Most of the liquefaction plants were built in hot and stable temperature areas, hence, the LNG output has been consistent as well. However, recent projects show that there will be a significant shift towards more temperature unstable regions. "Around 200 mmtpa of capacity is currently under construction or proposed in areas with more than 10°C annual temperature variation, including the US Gulf Coast and Australia." – says Lucy Cullen, Wood Mackenzie's Senior Research Analyst.
The chart provided by Wood Mackenzie, perfectly shows how the LNG plants are distributed per temperature variations:
Moreover, weather conditions may affect the LNG pricing in other ways. It is worth mentioning a case study from years 2005 and 2006 when hurricanes were responsible of a 4% plunge in US natural gas production. Such events should not be a significant problem during summer periods when the demand for natural gas is usually low. Problem may arise when increased demand during winter periods clashes with severe weather conditions. This may result in a situation when supply cannot meet demand on time, therefore a price increase is most likely. The difficulty of predicting the consequences of weather change means storage gas supplies may not always cushion the unexpected turbulences.
It is worth to point out that extremely cold conditions can affect the machinery that is used at drilling and extraction sites. Below certain temperatures additional heating equipment is required to protect hydraulics from freezing. Snowfall may slow down most of the machine movements making the production less effective and more expensive than under normal conditions. Therefore, it may lead to decreased supply and higher gas prices.
On the other hand, as natural gas has significant share in electricity production, it can be affected by abnormalities during summer season as well. If warmer than normal temperatures occur, then electricity demand for air cooling increases. This may lead to natural gas and LNG prices increase as well.
To sum up, natural gas and LNG industry must be considered as largely dependent on weather conditions, therefore, increased seasonality of gas supply is most likely imminent.

IPTC – Education Week
International Petroleum Technology Conference, or popularly known as "IPTC" has been successfully held from 14th to 16th November in Bangkok!! This year, throughout the successful efforts of the organizing committee, the IPTC has attracted more than three thousand audience from 51 countries and 37 companies as exhibitors. This year proud to say that IPTC has come to 10th Edition! As a student, I am proud to be there to join this one of the world's foremost oil and gas event! Much honorable is that I got the opportunity to join the IPTC Education Week Program!
What is Education Week?
The education week was held from 12th to 16th November with 67 students participated from 47 universities and 29 countries! It is a one week based program where the selected student will have the opportunity to learn and get some exposure to know more about the oil and gas industry through some panel session, experience sharing talk and field trip. It is proud to have Exxon Mobil, Hess and Mubadala Petroleum to be the sponsor of education week this year!

Overall Program Experience
On the 1st day of program, we have the welcoming party in which we get to know every student and also the young professional leader. It is a great networking activity where we get to know all the students from different countries and also different cultural backgrounds. During the 2nd day of the program, we are proud to have the industry executive representatives sharing their expertise with us with the theme of "Innovation and Efficiency Excellence for our energy future". We have the speaker from PTTEP, Schlumberger, Halliburton, Shell, Baker Hughes, Exxon Mobil, Hess and Mubadala Petroleum. The expertise advised us for not to give up to the oil and gas industry during this downturn. According to them, the energy demand is still on the track of increasing. Therefore, it is still a hope because during that time is our young generation to monopolize the oil and gas industry. The most important point is we have to find the dynamic balance point between the supply and demand. Moreover, the advancement of technology such as the advancement of data processing, renewable energy and (Autonomous underwater vehicle) AUV or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have proved to bring a bright future to us! Quoted from the words of Senior Vice President PTTEP, in order to overcome our business's challenge, we have to be innovative and efficient in our task. That is why IPTC comes with the theme "Innovation and Efficiency Excellence for our energy future".
From left to right: Session Moderator, Senior Vice President PTTEP, Vice President and General Manager – South East Asia, Schlumberger, Region Vice President – Asia Pacific, Halliburton。
During the 3rd day, 14th of November, after listening to the Executive plenary session, we have a field trip to the PTTEP core research centre (PCRC). From there, we have a chance to learn and gain some knowledge about the coring and geology knowledge. Students get to know about the drilling process, mud logging, coring and have the opportunity to observe the sample core and rock.
Group Photo during the PCRC Visit
Knowledge Sharing session from PTTEP representative.
Apart from that, we have the chance on the 4th day to visit IPTC education booth, technical session and panel session.
On the last day of IPTC Education Week, we have our group presentation in which we present our group works since July 2016. Each group consists of 6 to 7 people from different universities and different background of study, which consists of Petroleum Engineering, Geology, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and etc. Every group has different topics such as Deep water development, renewable energy, Field development, social license to operate, High Pressure High Temperature and etc. My group got the topic of Social License to Operate. It was a great exposure and learning experience listening to another group presentation. During the preparation of the works, you have the opportunity to know other students from different universities. It is so wonderful to see everyone coming from different universities and cooperate together to get the work done successfully. That's truly a great experience and great social networking event for students!
Hope to see you again in China 2019!
Last but not least, IPTC Education Week is truly a great experience for students! Opportunity doesn't wait! Grab the opportunity next IPTC in China 2019. As a student, grab this opportunity and apply through your society, such as SPE, SEG and AAPG, and EAGE. IPTC is a platform to promote knowledge sharing and scientific and technology dissemination on a global scale. (IPTC Home Website). Can't wait again for the next IPTC! Thank you for the sponsoring bodies, especially PTTEP as the host organization for making the IPTC a success!
BP Mad Dog Phase 2 approval
Recently BP has sanctioned the Mad Dog Phase 2. The project is intended to extend the capacity of production from Mad Dog Oil Field in Gulf of Mexico by adding a second floating production platform.
The new platform will have the capacity to produce up to 140,000 gross barrels of crude oil per day from up to 14 production wells. The existing, spar type, Mad Dog platform has capacity to produce 80,000 gross barrels of crude oil operated at a water depth of 4,500 ft, located about 190 miles south of New Orleans. It started production from that field in 2005.
The Mad Dog Oil Field was discovered by BP in 1998. In 2011 the appraisal drilling proved that the reservoir contains more than 4 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Another platform was needed on the field.
In 2013 the design of new platform was too expensive and complex to be realized, the cost of the project amounted to $21 billion. Since then, the BP with co-owners (BHP Billiton and Chevron) has worked on simplification and standardization of the previous platform design. Due to this action the final cost of project is reduced by 60% to $9 billion.
"This announcement shows that big deepwater projects can still be economic in a low price environment in the U.S. if they are designed in a smart and cost-effective way," said Bob Dudley, BP Group Chief Executive.
Production of the new floating production platform is scheduled to begin in 2021. The new platform will be similar to BP's Atlantis Platform, said BP spokesperson Jason Ryan.

I'm a big fan of Cinnamon.
I have it sprinkled on my muesli in the morning, I love putting it into cakes or muffins and even on French toast with caramelised bananas and maple syrup! I even sprinkle some on top of my morning coffee.
If you've ever done the "Cinnamon Challenge" you will:
a) Know that this is in-fact a challenge, as opposed to those who brush off this "challenge" with such exaggerated confidence – really having no idea what they are in for.
b) Have an understanding of how hilarious it can be watching others do the "Cinnamon Challenge"
c) Have a new appreciation of that nutty little bark I have become ever so fond of.
If you haven't done the "Cinnamon Challenge," It simply is trying to swallow a tablespoon of cinnamon in one mouthful. Deceivingly hard.
I'm also a big fan of coffee.
There is nothing more exciting than waking up to a big steaming hot
man cup of coffee (in bed).
I am lucky enough to have recently
acquired been able to use Jack's Nespresso coffee machine. It's amazing by the way!
For those Nespresso fanatics – yes it really is
concerning okay to have five coffee's a day. The sensational quality of Nespresso truly makes up for the fact you will not be able to get to sleep at night.
For those that enjoy a warm cup of coffee and enjoy sleeping at night – You may have discovered Chai latte's.
I love a good Chai latte. Not one made with that sickly sweet syrup (cough DOME cough), but one that you can taste the authentic Indian spices. The cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, ginger…Mmm! I came across this recipe for Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies on a food blog I came across in my food-blog-obsessed-ventures.
These cookies are begging to be dunked into a big cup of tea (Chai tea specifically or even better – a Chai latte!). They have a gorgeous sugar crust on the outside, a small crunch and soft on the inside. Imagine a mix between a ginger snap biscuit and a cinnamon spiced shortbread biscuit.
If you aren't a fan of Chai tea, these cookies have had the tick of approval from all chai-lovers and non-chai-lovers alike during my sampling at work.
And I totally didn't even Photoshop these photos!
Crinkle-top-sweet-sugary-spice goodness. Don't stop at one. I make them bite sized so you don't feel as bad when you eat
seven a couple of them!
Chai Spiced Sugar Cookies

Despite the dreaded algorithm Instagram is still my favourite app (you can follow me here!), I love the platform for sharing snippets, micro blogging and for endlessly scrolling through pretty photos and inspiration on my feed. And with the addition of Instastories, I feel like I've grown to know the people behind the shots even more too!
I'm quite particular with the apps that I use to edit my pics, I've tried a few but these are my absolute favourite for tweaking and editing my photos. My main aim is for bright (but not washed out), crisp photos with a slight dreamy feel to them. These are the apps that help me along the way to try to achieve that look!
Best for filters, this handy photo editing app contains an array of presets to give a professional vibe to your pics with little effort. It's hard to over edit - the filters can be subtle, enhancing and bringing everything together which I love.
The actual photo editing side is a bit of a love or a hate thing, the latest update & scroll slider has made it easier for precision edits, but it still can be a little bulky. I actually love it for editing the brightness, contrast and for tinting and for adjusting the temperature but I tend to save the other bits... extra sharpening and saturation for another app. It's worth investing in a few presets to find your style - my favourites are the C series, H series, S series and A series.
This is my go to app for light leaks, precision edits and for flipping/mirroring my selfies. The light leaks are great for brightening up dark areas in a photo, for adding a dreamy feel and for adding dimension to your pics. The sharpening and saturation tools are pretty great too!
The one for fine tuning and tweaking, the brush tool is ideal for small touch ups and precision editing. You can pinpoint and precisely edit one part of the photo - up the saturation of a lipstick, or brighten up a dark spot. It also has a handy healing tool for blemishes, flecks of dirt or to edit out something small in your pic!
The filters in this dreamy app are so beautiful, I've actually been opting for these over a vsco preset lately. I have the Flashes Of Delight Set, but I'm planning on investing in one or two more, they all look beautiful! I love that you can layer up the filters without having to re-upload, it doesn't seem to effect the quality of the photo at all - even with pics from my dslr!
I adore that this has a curves option, so useful if your used to editing in photoshop/pixelmator - the vibrance tool is pretty great too!
I actually really love the Instagram filters and editing tools! Sometimes I'll layer up an Instagram filter over a Vsco or ABM Colorstory filter, there's a few good picks to choose from. The tools are good for levelling photos, adjusting highlights, shadows, sharpening, altering the temperature and tweaking the saturation.
What are your favourite photo editing apps?
