It was the taxi ride to end all taxi rides.
One battered black cab, three friends and 43,000 miles right round the world over the course of 15 amazing months.
Now the pals, including Leeds lad Johno Ellison, have written a book telling the story of their journey from London to Sydney and back behind the wheel of the eBay-bought cab.
Entitled It's On The Meter, the book charts Johno and co's sometimes chaotic progress through four continents, 50 countries and 10 time zones during 2011 and 2012.
It includes everything from an altercation with Iran's secret police to a narrow escape from the Taliban and has already been given the seal of approval by two people who definitely know what they are talking about.
World-famous explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes has hailed the book as "an inspiring story told with lashings of energy and humour".
Travel writer Bill Bryson, meanwhile, said: "This is the trip I would take if I were younger, braver and lightly but certifiably out of my mind."
Explaining how the book came about, Johno said: "I really enjoy writing and really wanted to share the story with a wider audience.
"We feel like we got into some pretty crazy situations so we'd love for people to read everything from start to finish.
"When I tell people about the trip I don't want to overwhelm them with all of what happened to us over those 15 months but I think the book allows them to take it all in at their leisure."
Johno, 32, met his fellow adventurers, Paul Archer and Leigh Purnell, while studying at Aston University in Birmingham.
They hit upon the idea for the trip – which raised £20,000 for the Red Cross and ended with a thankfully-hypothetical £79,006.80 on the cab's meter – during a night at the pub.
Johno, who grew up in Boston Spa and went to St Aidan's Church of England High School in Harrogate, now lives in Kuala Lumpur.
He wrote the book with fellow round-the-world 'cabby' Paul while the third member of the gang, Leigh, penned its afterword.
"At times it was pretty tough to write with us all living in different places but I feel like it works really well," said Johno.
"The double-author format allows us to tell the story from different perspectives.
"Hopefully it might inspire other people to give their own crazy dreams a shot!"
It's On The Meter is published on March 10 by Summersdale, priced £8.99 paperback.

Networks are generally used for determining what members see in the "what's new" feed, letting members associate with each other based on common profile information (without needing to be friends directly), and serving advertisements to specific groups of members. Each member can join one or more networks if you allow them to, and their networks will be shown on their profile. If you decide to have networks, be sure that they relate to your community's theme or niche. For example, if your community has members from various countries, you can create a network for each country.
You can manage Networks in your admin panel by navigating to Manage > Networks.
When in the "Manage Networks" page, you can see a listing of each Network. Out of the box, SocialEngine comes with seven Networks corresponding to the different continents. The columns can be sorted by clicking the titles: "ID", "Network Name", or "Members".
To edit a Network, click the "edit" link next to the Network you want to modify.
You'll see a form identical to the creation form, but with the Network's values filled in. (See step 2 of "Creating a Network") Make any changes, and click "Save Changes" when you're finished.
To delete a Network, click the "delete" link next to the Network you want to remove.
When the confirmation popup appears, click the "Delete Network" button. Note that users within that Network will not be re-assigned to a new Network - the deleted Network will simply be removed from their list of Networks.
You can delete multiple Networks at one time by checking the box next to the Networks that you would like to delete. If you would like to select all the checkboxes you can select the checkbox in the blue header.
When you have finished selecting the Networks you would like to delete, click on the "Delete Selected" button seen in the image above.
You will then be brought to a page asking if you are sure you want to delete the selected Networks. Click "Delete" to delete the selected Networks.
If you would like to view which members are a part of a certain Network, click on the number of members under the "Members" column for the Network you would like to view. A pop up will show with all of the members who are currently in the Network.
If you choose to allow it in the Member Levels settings page, your members can restrict their privacy by Networks. For instance, your members can choose to allow only people in their Network, even people with whom they are not friends, to post on their wall.
Via the Activity Feed Settings page, you can choose to make the main "What's New" feed display only information from the user's friends and networks, instead of displaying the activity from every registered user on the site.
When you create a new advertising campaign, you can choose to display the ads only to specific networks. This allows you to target your ads (for example, by gender or country) for more effective returns and click-throughs.
Great work! Networks are such an awesome tool! We're sure you'll find lots of ways to use them.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need further tutorials. Visit our community to have more interactions with us and other clients or third party developers. We'd love to see you there!

Since it is offered at a lower price for student use, the Academic Edition of Business Plan Pro has a couple of notable limitations related to its library of sample business plans.

Summary of Interview 081214A with Nanjid by Ariun-Undrah
Nanjid was born in Adaatsag sum, Dundgobi aimag, on 22 October 1953. In 1960, at the age of seven she started education in a newly built school in her native sum. However, she finished the eighth grade in another secondary school in Erdendalai sum of the same aimag. She entered a newly established Agricultural College in Dundgobi and finished in 1971 as a veterinary. After working for two years in Gobi Ugtaal sum, she returned to Adaatsag to work as a veterinary in a collective farm. Afterwards she worked as a doctor in a pharmacy.
When she was a child, Nanjid's father was the director of the local collective farm 'Am'dralyn tug' (Life's banner) in Adaatsag. Her mother was a cook in a kindergarten. Due to her father's position, Nanjid had a better living condition compared to other children. As she was too young at that time, Nanjid says that she did not know much about the collectivisation, though learned about it when she grew older. Nanjid tells in detail about her job and the collective farm. 'The collective farm, which was like a big family, was involved in all what was happening in the sum. The production of meat and wool, their quantity and so on were all decided and carried out by the collective farm. Everything was planned and done according to plan. If the collective farm performed badly in competitions, everything in the sum was also delayed. The collective farm had everything', she recalls. Nanjid started her career as a veterinary and carried on doing this job long after the collective farm was disbanded.
Summary of Interview 081214B with Nanjid by Ariun-Undrah
The collectivisation movement, which was one of the greatest events in the 20th century Mongolia, inevitably affected Nanjid's life. The 'Amdralyn tug' (Life's banner) collective farm had three brigades, and each brigade consisted of four groups. Each brigade was allocated one third of the sum's territory. The administration of the collective farm consisted of director, an aid to the director, members of the council, and an accountant. Other positions included: workers, heads of the brigades, a livestock counter, veterinaries, heads of the groups, and herders. The collective farm also ran a hotel and a dining hall. Each brigade was allocated a doctor. The doctors checked herders by visiting them. In emergency cases patients were sent by ambulance to the sum hospital or referred to the aimag hospitals. Both the brigade doctors and veterinaries used the same mode of transport – horses and motorbikes. Various activities, such as the building of fences, the combing of goats, the cutting of sheep wool, and so on were done collectively and according to plan. Nanjid worked as a veterinary during the whole socialist period.

Hurting, Healing and Hope
Wednesday, February 7, 2018
As we prepare to enter Lent 2018 our focus is on Dr. Sandra
God looks at the heart of his children and sees us for our real selves even when we don't even see ourselves for real. God focuses on our unseen, inner lives (hearts) but do we? Often we do not even though we are called to examine ourselves before sharing in the Lord's Supper. What would you find if you looked inwardly at the condition of your heart with truth? Would you then turn to Jesus in faith and seek forgiveness?
During Lent we are called to look within ourselves, at our hearts and see what God sees- hurt, pain, or prolonged sins hidden from the past. Yet God is calling us out of the dark caves of our denial of pain and hurt in order that we might risk truth's light. But are we willing to do this? If we hide from painful truths, we deprive ourselves of discovering that Jesus, the Great Physician is able to heal our unseen wounds.
Question for Reflection:
God cares a lot about our inner selves and our hidden wounds. God calls us to self-awareness so that we can get away from identifying ourselves as hurt people. How do these verses help you do this?
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man "unclean".
I Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
Psalm 51:6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts, you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Prayer: God it is so scary to thinking about leaving familiar places that are filled with hurt. Help me to love truthful self-awareness more than fearful self absorption and to know the difference. Make me willing to commit to you my thoughts feelings and even the scary memories of hurt. Amen.
Resource: Dr. Sandra D Wilson, Hurt People Hurt People, Discovery House Publishers, 2001.

In today's global market, the Internet is a essential part of the strategies of any successful business. If you don't know where to begin, read on! Follow these tips to be successful at Internet promotion.
Before you set out to get your website ranked, you should concentrate on building a quality site. This is a crucial initial step for any online company. The better your website looks and functions, the less effort it takes to maintain.
Closely evaluate the actions of your top competitors and analyze that data to formulate your own plans. If you find that you are interested in their products, or see why their customers would be, then pay close attention to how you can utilize some of these strategies for your own purposes.
Don't let the small setbacks stop you from pursuing internet promotion. For all you know, you will give up when you might've been on the brink of success. Make sure that you have covered all of your bases before opening your sales website. This may require serious effort on your part. The hard work will pay off after awhile.
Provide one thing that is niche or very unique on your site. Doing so will likely increase the traffic of people interested in the product. The readers will then be more likely to really be interested in the products that you offer which makes your site more legitimate and improves your ranking.
Take the time to learn the basic rules of web page layout and design. There is a wealth of information on the Internet to help you learn CSS, HTML, and other web design specifics. Try and commit a fixed amount of time each week so you stay committed to learning web design.
Try to make sure that your site is filled with the info that your customers are looking for. You don't need to create an entire encyclopedia, but having a good amount of information that your customers can easily access is important. To increase the potential to your website add content that will help your prospective customers, such as articles, product reviews and other information pertaining to your product.
It can be intimidating at first but the world of internet promotion is well worth the efforts that it takes to learn. A good website and increased visibility will bring more traffic to your site and increase your sales.

The Pew Environment Group announced today six recipients of the 2012 Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation. They are from Brazil, Cuba, France, Peru, and the United States.
The 2012 Pew Fellowships in Marine Conservation will support projects to promote green infrastructure for climate adaptation in coastal communities, expand marine areas in Brazil that are under protection, shift the Peruvian anchoveta industry toward directly feeding humans, identify climate-driven changes in fisheries, analyze French fisheries subsidies, and conserve goliath grouper populations in Cuba, the Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico.
"The individuals added to this year's Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation are talented experts who will make important contributions to protecting the ocean environment worldwide," said Joshua S. Reichert, managing director of the Pew Environment Group. "We are proud to honor them as they work to foster greater conservation of the world's living marine resources."
The 2012 Pew Marine Fellows:
"The 2012 Pew Marine Fellows bring extraordinary talent to address the critical and complex issues facing our oceans," said Polita Glynn, director of the Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation. "We are proud to welcome this year's Pew Marine Fellows and add their diverse experience to our global marine conservation program."
The Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation has awarded 125 fellowships to individuals from 32 countries. Each Pew Marine Fellow receives US$150,000 to conduct a three-year scientific research or conservation project designed to address critical challenges to the oceans. Through a rigorous nomination and review process, a committee of marine specialists from around the world selects Pew Marine Fellows based on the strengths of their proposed projects, including their potential to protect ocean environments. Unique and timely projects, led by outstanding professionals in their fields, are chosen annually. The program is managed by the Pew Environment Group, based in Washington, D.C.
More information about each of the 2012 Pew Marine Fellows, including photographs and a video about the recipients, is available on the Marine Fellows page.

I just checked my grades, and all but one are in! I have A's in everything! The only exception is Sanitation, which won't be in until the final grades are submitted back to my instructor from the ServSafe people who put out the exam. I'm assuming an A since I had a near-perfect score in the class prior to the final, but if I scored too low on the exam, my grade could end up being a B.
I went shopping with my mom and sister yesterday, and we had a great time. We ate lunch at a Greek restaurant in Pickerington. It was pretty good. It's no Marathon Deli, but it was good enough to satisfy my gyro craving. I think I'll persuade my brother Richie to go with me again when we go see Tron next week.
I've got my appointment with the lawyer this afternoon at 2. I'm a little nervous, but I'm sure it will be fine. I've jotted down a couple of questions so that I don't forget what I wanted to ask. The very thought of all this makes me a little nauseated. I think I'll probably walk down to the lawyer's office (it's only a few blocks away) so that I have time to clear my head before the appointment. I don't want to be sick to my stomach and upset when I walk in there. Although, I don't know that I'm going to be able to avoid any of that!

15th Annual Halloween Extravaganza
14th Halloween Extravaganza a Howling Success!
On October 17, at the ACTSS 14th Annual Halloween Extravaganza, we set a record at 350 people and their pets in attendance! Even more exciting, with the assistance of Emcee Seanna Collins of Global TV and Gary Meyer, Auctioneer extraordinaire, we doubled our proceeds this year at over $50,000!
The evening began with a moving tribute to "Angel" one of the pets with cancer ACTSS subsidized and her family that stood by her through this difficult time. The Italiani Banquet Facility served a delicious meal enjoyed by all and in between bites, people kept sneaking off to outbid others on their favorite silent auction items.
Dinner was followed by a game of "Heads & Tails" with the lucky winner taking home an autographed Brett Michaels cowboy hat followed by our LIVE auction, that created an all time high bidding war for items such as an Edmonton Police Service Canine unit tour, autographed Big Bang Theory wine, luxurious stays at the Fairmont resort in Lake Louise and Echo Valley Ranch & Spa and Thunder 1 charter fishing adventure trip. New this year, we featured a wine tree with over 60 varieties of wine that was an appealing feature of our stage until auction time.
Back by popular demand was the balloon frenzy with over 100 balloons containing gift cards and certificates valued at $25-100. For just $20, guests stormed our real-life lifesavers for a chance at one of these winning balloons. Tremendous thanks to Firefighters; Curtis Lomanaski and Scott Wilde, Canadian Search and Disaster Dog Assistance Team members Josee Nolting and Richard Lee, Veterinarians; Heather Lam, Annabelle Sydie, Sherry Van Boxtel, Kristina Hughes and Doug Hefflefinger, Animal Health Technologists; Erin Gerwing and Dawn Philips. These individuals bravely fought off the crowds of eager participants that showed no mercy in having a chance at getting a balloon!
Next; the Pet Costume Contest took the stage and the cheering was enthusiastic for the 20 pets, which included a Star Wars jawa and yoda, cowboys, a teenage mutant turtle, a spider and sheep. With so many great entries, the contest was eventually won by the infamous Judy, Mitzi and Roger Millette who posed as the police intercepting the Anthony Henday traffic jam!
The audience was full of surprise with the announcement of our "Purse Snatcher" event….after 3 bidding wars for Michael Kors, Matt & Nat and Kate Spade purses, the surprise came when one lucky lady also took home her purse full of money! The evening was a huge success and tremendous thanks must go to all the volunteers and especially to the Halloween Extravaganza team that worked so hard to put on this wonderful evening.
Guests were also treated to "tea sampling" provided by DAVIDsTEA (Whyte Ave) with animal-themed "Pink Flamingo" tea! Other exhibitors included original artwork by Little Blue Bug designs and Portrait sitting certificates by Chewed Slippers Pet Photography who generously donated their proceeds from the evening to ACTSS.
Special thanks to the Committee Organizers: Auction (Jennifer Stelfox, Carol Nelson & Sharen van Fossen), Raffle (Amanda Dean), Public Relations (Cherie Sawaryn & Chelsey Chapman), Ticket Sales (Kathy Carey & Debbie Legere), Decorations (Darlene Job), Volunteers (Lia Watkin), Costume Contests (Jen Shelley), Sponsorship (Sandi Krucik-van Bommel), Program (Lorraine Shulba & Sandi Krucik-van Bommel), Audiovisual (Ron Strobl ), Evening Event (Sandi Krucik-van Bommel, Cherie Sawaryn), Cash Out Table (Diane Gauvreau, Madeleine Leduc) and Photography (Lorna Savak, Darlene Konduc).
ACTSS would not be celebrating our success without distinguishing the wonderful support of our event Sponsors.

What are the best Indian e-commerce website according to?
Flipkart? Amazon? Snapdeal will be the answer of very few.
But it looks like something massive is going to happen in the Indian e-commerce website. According to a report on Times of India, Japanese firm SoftBank pushing Snapdeal to merge with Flipkart. Even if two companies are merged, then SoftBank will invest upto $1.5 Billion (almost ₹9860 Crores) at 15% stake in the merged company.
To remind you, SoftBank is the largest investor of Snapdeal (valued at $6.5 billion in early 2016) with 30% stake . Tiger Global, New York based largest investor of Flipkart (with 30% stake) may sell its 10% (worth almost $1 billion) to SoftBank if this merging takes place.
According to reports, SofBank has planned three options for Snapdeal – merging with Flipkart, combine with Alibaba-led Paytm, or a writedown of SoftBank's investment to zero.
It is allegedly reported that, Flipkart has agreed for the deal. The discussion has started between SofBank and Flipkart since February. If everything goes well then the deal may be finalized by late April.
Snapdeal which was founded in 2010, is going through a tough time with lack of fund raise and less profit. They already said to cut off 600 employees. Snapdeal has already reported a huge loss of Rs. 29.6 billion in the financial year 2015-16. If this deal takes place then definitely it can be a life saver for Snapdeal.
Stay tuned with us for further development.

The top places to see
- La Jolla Shores Beach and Cove
- Torrey Pines / Black's Beach
- Sea World
- Embarcadero / San Diego Harbor / USS Midway
- Gaslamp Quarter
- Balboa Park
- San Diego Zoo
- Old Town San Diego
- Tijuana
Day trips outside San Diego:
Traveling to San Diego
- San Diego Lindbergh Field code: SAN - located right downtown
- Alternative - Los Angeles(LAX) or Orange County(SNA) airports and drive 80/90 miles down to San Diego. This is a great option if you want to visit Disneyland or Universal Studios in the same trip.
Places to stay
- Downtown/Gaslamp - best dinning and entertainment + Embarcadero within walking distance.
- Recommended: Westin Emerald Plaza, Sheraton Suites, Grand Hyatt, Westgate, Sofia, Grand Horton
- Avoid: Ramada Inn - loud, old and worn down, despite 3 star rating.
- Be aware of parking downtown - it is hard to find, and most of the hotels will charge up to $40/night
- Be aware of possible noise in downtown area, especially along the streets of Gaslamp Quarter.
La Jolla area
- La Jolla Shores Hotel
- UTC - La Jolla Marriott, Hyatt Regency La Jolla, Marriott Residence Inn
Reserve hotel:
One of the benefits of great bulding boom in San Diego area is wide availabilty of various condominiums/townhouses for rent. This option is especially nice for family/budget travel, since most places provide separate bedrooms and bathrooms, and kitchen facilities with all the accompaniaments of home - forks, knives, plates, glasses. You really learn to appreciate simple things when you are out on the road!
Condo Sites:
Entertainment & dinning
Gaslamp is THE place to go eat and play in San Diego. This area is full of restaurants, cafes, food stands and bars to suit every taste. Thanks to San Diego climate, there is number of outdoor seating options, with good food, and great people watching. Favorite pick: Cafe Sevilla.
Gaslamp is also an epicenter of San Diego nightlife - the place realy comes alive after 10pm, with number of clubs and late night bars, and nightlife going on seven days a week. Gaslamp.org has comprehensive listings for this area, both restaurants and bars.
La Jolla is another great place to have food experience ranging from "hole-in-the-wall" to most upscale dinning, all often located on the same block. There are two areas with restaurants: upscale area around La Jolla Cove, and more casual around La Jolla Shores Beach.
Contrary to popular image of "sunny California", San Diego can be surprisingly cool and gloomy. Lots of time the weather reminds one more of San Francisco than LA. The common expressions among locals are "May gray" and "June gloom". Luckily, the fog wears off most of the time by noon, and the weather stays very stable throughout the year - the coast sees consistent low 70s in summer, and 60s during winter, while inland portions are about 10-15 degrees higher, the farther away from the water, the warmer the weather. During rainy season (December to March) the area is subject to large rainstorms, so be prepared.

iPhones and iPads come with lots of accessibility options that can make using them a lot easier for people with impairments. But that isn't the only purpose for these options. Apple also provides Guided Access as a way to lock down your device for use by children or even to create a mode for guest users that should not gain full access to your phone.
The iPhone and iPad come native with lots of accessibility options that can make using them a lot easier for people with impairments. That isn't the only reason Apple gives many accessibility options though. Guided Access is a perfect example of how you can lock down an iPhone or iPad for use by children or even to create a guest user mode so others using your devices can't access things you don't want them to.
In order to enable Guided Access, go to Settings from the Home Screen and tap on General. Scroll down towards the bottom of the screen and tap on Accessibility. Next, under the Learning section tap on Guided Access. If it's not already, turn the toggle next to Guided Access to ON. You are now able to utilize Guided Access! See below for visual explanation.
You can also set up a Passcode to ending Guided Access in this screen – which we recommend. That way if the child or whoever is using it learns to triple click the home button they still cannot retrieve full access to the App.
Now what? In order to make use of the Guided Access option, enter the app you would like someone to be locked into and triple click the Home button. Once it comes up it will ask you to circle the areas of the phone you would like to disable or "lock". A good example of where you might use this is if you are allowing your child to watch a video clip on your phone and you do not want them to click on other videos or start/stop the current one. Simply use your forefinger to encircle everything you would like to be disabled and click "Start".
If you have multiple shortcuts set up for triple clicking the Home button, you'll be given the option to choose between them. Just tap on Guided Access.
To stop Guided Access, simply triple click the Home button again and if you set it up, it will ask you for the Passcode (4 digit) and then allow you to choose "End" in the upper left hand corner of the screen. You will now be out of Guided Access mode.
Hopefully this might work as a great way to entertain young children so you can be productive working from home or have a quiet car ride.
"We are about 60% more effective, since we contracted with NENS. The new IT structure helped our office work more efficiently and NENS was able to help make our performance faster. NENS was able to diagnose issues quickly and fix them in a timely manner."

Discussion Board for collaboration related to QlikView Deployment.
I tried to upgrade on existing server but it rolls back as gets an error at the end.
I installed on a new Server with no error but cannot get it to run as services stop instantly.
An ideas what issue with services might be?
Follow this process:
Upgrading from QlikView 11 to QlikView 12
Considerations for upgrading from any version of QlikView 11 to QlikView 12:
The installation of QlikView Server requires a reboot of the machine for proper operation.
See the release notes for more information on upgrading to QlikView 12.
Upgrade and Migration
For a successful upgrade of QlikView Server, take the following basic practices into account:
Back up the current QlikView data directory, which includes most of the log and some of the configuration files as well as the document folders. The files are typically located in %ProgramData%\QlikTech.
Perform the upgrade during a scheduled downtime – QlikView Server must be stopped for the upgrade to be successful.
Licensing information and settings are saved by default when QlikView Server is removed. They are applied to any subsequent installation of QlikView Server on the system.
If Digital Certificate Authentication is used for QlikView Service communication, the new certificates that are created during the upgrade must be installed. See Update certificates.
The installation does not support upgrade from beta or release candidate versions of QlikView Server.
To install QlikView Server, proceed as follows:
Verify that backup media exists for the current release of QlikView Server and back up all current files associated with QlikView Server (HTML pages, QlikView documents, licensing file, QlikView Server .shared files, and so on).
Install QlikView Server.
Multi-machine Preparation
When upgrading an installation that is spread over multiple machines, extra planning is required, since versions cannot be mixed arbitrarily.
Simple Upgrade
This procedure requires no special planning and involves the smallest risk, but causes the system to be down for some time.
Proceed as follows to perform a straight-forward upgrade:
Perform a backup.
See: Upgrade and Migration
Stop all services running on all machines.
Upgrade the services on each machine (in any order).
Start all services on all machines.
Update certificates
The new certificates that are created during an upgrade must be installed on machines running QlikView services. Certificates do not need to be installed on the machine running the QlikView Management Service.
Proceed as follows:
Open the QMC.
Click the Status tab, and then click Services.
Note any services that are disconnected.
Click the System tab, and then click Setup.
Select a service, and then click the General tab for the service.
Click the Apply button in the bottom right of the window, and then follow the instructions to install the certificate.
When you are done, navigate back to Services on the Status tab to verify that the service is now running.
Maximize Uptime
This procedure requires more planning, but the system uptime (from an end user point of view) is maximized.
Proceed as follows to perform the upgrade:
Stop QMS (which means QMC becomes unavailable).
Upgrade in the following order (let the installer restart the services):
Web servers
Directory Service Connector (DSC)
QlikView Server (QVS)
QlikView Distribution Service (QDS)
Start QMS (which means QMC becomes available again).

I'm about to talk a little bit about me now, I hope you don't mind ;-)
Summer 2014 - Life Update
I'm about to talk a little bit about me now, I hope you don't mind ;-)
I've been thinking that I should try some vlogging on my youtube channel as well as the musical videos that I put up. And I tried to achieve that also but if I do I would also be good to make sure I can have things for you to read as well - because a) I like writing and b) so far my talking to a camera is not all so easy for me to do without looking like a fool. So this here is a rundown of what I've been doing this year.
Because I live in New Zealand and the school year is from Febuary to December I graduated from high school in December 2013. Not that I passed the year - I totally failed every single one of my classes and so the year's biggest achievements were either the total of 37 songs that I wrote in the last 28 weeks or it was that I managed to stay alive through any of it considering the major depression I was suffering from when I had no friends, focus, future or life in general.
Since then I've decided that I will study for a Certificate in Music and Sound Engineering - And though the 20 week course starts in July, I'm going to miss orientation because I won't actually be in the country until August 10 because I'm off to the UK and Europe for a month with my family. Which is defiantly something to look forward to and I'm secretly planning on not coming home from because I will meet Ed Sheeran or Nina Nesbitt and be kidnapped by them to be taught some musical tips and gain some recognition when we collaborate and release a #1 single that, of corse, I will write while using those musical tips and we will be buds forever while I go on to the rest of the world because you will all want to see me in concert so I will have to go on tour and then get to work on my debut album which will also get to #1 and so on and so-forth until I am tired a lot but finally doing what I love for a living ;-)
My best friends Livy and Maddie for some reason have that confidence in me that I will make it big, and so I thank you two beautiful girls from the bottom of my heart because if nobody agreed with my chosen career path then I'll probably be screwed like a cork in a bottle with no fizz. So the rest of you reading this: I love you, and you should just pretend that I'm already famous and tell all your friends, so they can tell all their friends, that it will be a crime if Beka Ellen does not become recognized for her music and other such brilliance. Really there is a difference between being cocky and confident - I am a fan of my own music. Like I can totally relate (Lols, kidding). If you haven't heard my music yet then you can download some samples when you sign up to an emailing list from my website http://bekaellen.com/freedownload.html (what I send is only seasonal updates like this one) or you can get my demo EP from http://bekaellen.com/freedownload.html featuring Heart Strings which, when I first listened too after it was mixed I thought it was something else entirely because It sounded so good.
So what has happened since Christmas has been pretty interesting - I love not having to go to school.
- My website www.bekaellen.com was put online
- I slept in a tent in my own front yard and saw The Hunger Games: Catching Fire :D
- My family was joined by a Brazilian girl who had come for work experience as part of studying animal sciences. Missing you Carol <3
- My Parents had their 20th Wedding Anniversary
- Worked
- Lead for a week at a children's camp. My love to Kaātje, Keisha, Fiona, Christina, Emily, Shapelle, Seara, Adele, Danielle, Olivia and Madison and Leigh and Tabitha xoxo
- Went to Christchurch with My babes, Mads and Liv, where we celebrated mine and Maddie's birthdays and fell in love with Doctor Who. I remember my birthday as 'the lion day' because when I think about it I have a vision remembering being in the back of a caged truck with a lion standing over me on the top go the cage. We also saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty that day and I saw my dad's parents and brother for breakfast. Love to Clair too - Thank you for taking care of us while we were up there.
- Then I went camping with my family for a few days and the shower I had when we finally got back to civilization was simply amazing ;-)
- Back to work and the farm was judged for some national environment awards which we are now in the top 6 for and get to attend a fancy dinner when they announce the winner (fingers crossed).
- Catered for a couple groups of tourists who came to visit (who generously gave contribution to my music career after I played for them) ;-)
- More working
- Over dose of Glee (watched season 2 3 and 4 in a row)
- Bought a new guitar which has been named Indie Rose thanks to my mum (because it is made from indian rosewood) She's a 000MC-15E from SigmaGuitars, for the music nerds out there. I haven't had an electric before and It really sound amazing.
- Planning for this concert which I am involved with...
Here's the poster for it>>
In March I got heavily back into my songwriting resulting in
Heart Strings (Reprised)
Seasons (https://www.youtube.com/watch)
Always and Forever (a song about Elijah Michaelson)
Wondrous Life (a worship song)
Needle In a Haystack (played on the piano)
Thank You My Sweet (https://www.youtube.com/watch)
Be a Man (about the life of Harry Potter)
Enough (I will be)
The world doesn't end tonight (this has been my phase of writing of my supposed music career and the beginning of a lot of hard work and struggling with being turned away when I am yet to really do anything)
Every Cloud (I really like this one - I was trying to push more into the indie rock genre)
Edward Cullen (I finished reading New Moon for what might be the 6th time yesterday)
And This one>>
In reality even though I'm 18 now I feel even more like a baby because I'm still living at home and have yet to pass my driving test but things a progressing slowly.
More to come; such as the concert - hopefully I will be able to get it filmed for you so maybe you should subscribe to my youtube channel so you get to see that, as well as up coming vids and songs. Please please please if you have read this far through this blog give yourself a pat on the back and comment below to tell me what you think. You could even send me an email if you want to give feedback to any of my music or to ask about whatever you should want to ask me - Please however, remember if you are going to be critical 'I am a real person, with feelings'. And one day I will track you down and make you regret anything uncool you might say. lol.
Also please follow me on twitter, Facebook and instagram and I even have a tumbler if you want to follow that too. It means the world to get your feedback so please don't be shy :-)
xoxo Beka

1. Anticancer Agents Med Chem. 2012 Jan 31. [Epub ahead of print]Probing the Interaction of Anti-cancer agent Dihydromyricetin with Human SerumAlbumin: A typical method study.Chen T, Zhu S, Lu Y, Zhao Y, Jiang G, Zhu L, Lu T.Nantong University, Nantong, 226019, P. R. China. email@example.com (L. Zhu).The interaction between dihydromyricetin (DMY) with human serum albumin (HSA)under the physiological condition was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectra and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. In themechanism discussion it was proved that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by DMY is a result of the formation of DMY-HSA complex. Binding parameters calculatedshowed that DMY was bound to HSA with the binding affinities of 105~106 L·mol-1. The enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be -28.76kJ·mol-1 and 18.21 J·mol-1·K-1, respectively, which implied that the hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds interactions play predominant roles in the binding process.The binding site of DMY on HSA may be located in hydrophobic cavity of subdomain IIA by the analysis data of fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectra.The specific binding distance r (3.37 nm) between donor (Trp-214) and acceptor(DMY) was obtained according to Förster non-radiative resonance energy transfertheory. CD spectral result demonstrates that DMY does not affect the secondarystructure of HSA and can maintain protein stabilization. In addition, the effect of some common metal ions (e.g. Zn2+, Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Fe3+) on the bindingconstant between DMY and HSA was examined.PMID: 22292768 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

My preparation for Nationals this year was far from perfect. By the time I had finished building my diesel engine by way of road tours and training, I was left with a tightfisted two weeks to blow the cobwebs out of my track legs. Needless to say, I was a bit short on zing. As a result, I was thrown well outside of my comfort zone in the very explosive Individual Pursuit, and fell victim to a somewhat premature lactic attack. But even so, I pulled off a twenty-three second PB (my only ever attempt at the 3000m was on a concrete track in what seemed like a clockwise hurricane, but I will claim it nonetheless), with a commendable time of 3.46, placing me eighth.
I raced the 500m TT that evening, and thought this summed it up pretty well.
My lack of punch also meant I had to hit the points and scratch races from a different angle; one I'm not particularly used to. Or fond of. But the only way I saw myself getting across the line first was by getting across the line alone. So twice I found myself dangling half a lap ahead of the field in an attempt to pick up some points, albeit the hard way. I may not have put on a medal winning show, but I think I deserve some sort of record for the hardest fifth place anyone has ridden for.
The scratch race, as one would have guessed, came down to the usual bunch kick. However, this kick came somewhere around six laps out from the finish, most of which I spent jammed on the inside waiting for anything close to a gap to open up. But nothing did, so coming out of the last corner I decided to go through a gap that didn't exist, ping ponged between the two back discs I had wedged my way into, and rolled across for third.
I know, and this photo reinforces, that I was lucky to take the bronze with such a close finish. But I was still disappointed that I hadn't barged my way into a better position earlier. I had a surprising amount of kick left in me that went to waste, but that's all part of scratch racing. They are anything but predictable.
I finished the championships off with a bronze in the Team Pursuit, with Gemma Dudley and Maxyna Cottam - the first WCNI team we've ever had.
Next up is the Omnium Nationals, in Invercargill once again, in a few weeks time. Hopefully, with a bit more pep in my pins, I'll be more of a force to be reckoned with. There is work to do yet, though - and a few obnoxious northerlies yet to be sworn at.

By: Donna EvansIssue: Transformation Section: Community How does a company or nonprofit organization maintain an edge to perform at its peak in this economy? Can the lessons learned today provide new best practices to emulate in the future? Is diversity in the boardroom a factor in improved performance?
At a time when organizational performance is highly scrutinized due to economic cycles and globalization, the presence of more women in the boardroom could have a significant, positive impact on both corporations and nonprofits. According to the National Association of Corporate Directors, companies having women on their boards bring increased value to their corporations by broadening market vision, enhancing board dynamics, inspiring female stockholders and improving corporate reputation.
The Economic Impact of Women
Economically, in the United States of America, women now control more than 80 percent of all household purchases, according to the February 2010 article by Joanne Cleaver titled "What Women Want." Data also show that as of 2010, women controlled 27 percent of the world's wealth—or about $20.2 trillion—growing an astounding 16 percent since 2009. And, women in the United States now control 60 percent of the spending and investments worldwide, making them the largest economic force in the world, according to the Federal Reserve Board. According to the Center for Women's Business Research, women own 10 million businesses in the United States and employ 27 million people—more than the Fortune 500—and those numbers grow every year. Further, the Economic Journal reports that women donate twice as much to charity as men, and increasingly are the target of philanthropic organizations.
Women Board Members Impact Organizations
With the growing economic impact of women comes more attention to the positive results they generate for corporations and nonprofit organizations. Gender Imbalance in the Boardroom: Opportunities to Change Course, published by the InterOrganizationNetwork, cites several positive results achieved for organizations when female directors serve, including:
• Improved financial performance • Improved governance • Higher level of board independence from management • Stronger commitment to social responsibility • Increased number of women role models in society
And, experts consistently cite research that demonstrates corporate and nonprofit organizations experience these benefits when three or more women serve on the board.
Diversity in the boardroom is not an egalitarian issue; it is a performance issue for all corporations and nonprofit organizations.
Who Are the Women?
Unfortunately, women's economic impact is not well recognized in leadership roles, particularly in the boardrooms of major organizations in the United States. Catalyst, a research organization that focuses on women's roles in business, reports that in 2011 women held an average of 16 percent of directorship positions in the Fortune 500 companies, with a breakdown showing the following across different board positions.
In addition, in the 2011 Report of Women on Fortune 500 Boards, published by Catalyst, it shows that women comprised at least 25 percent of the directorships in 16.3 percent of the Fortune 500 and that 11.3 percent of Fortune 500 companies included no women on their boards.
While performance of the Fortune 500 provides an important benchmark, the statistics are not as good for the pool of potential corporate directorships in all publicly traded and closely held companies. The InterOrganizational Network (ION), which advocates for the advancement of women on boards and in executive roles, says, "Although the Fortune 500 companies in some regions exceed the national benchmark in terms of their percentage of women directors, the comparable percentages on the boards of small companies in most regions drag down the overall performance."
Norway, Sweden and Finland all boast percentages at 25 or higher for female representation in the boardroom. By comparison, the United States lags most European countries, with African and Asian countries quickly picking up the pace. The Catalyst study Increasing Gender Diversity on Boards: Current Index of Formal Approaches, 2010, shows that legislation and regulation providing for minimum standards for directorships held by women in publicly traded companies has been instituted in 28 countries.
Women on Boards = Improved Financial Performance
Peak financial performance for organizations is significantly impacted by women. In a speech by SEC Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar to the SAIS Center for Transatlantic Relations, he reports that "there appears to be a meaningful relationship between diverse boards and improved financial performance." Catalyst research reports that companies with more female directors outperform those with the least women by 53 percent. Their research documents interesting return on equity, sales and investment figures.
A Pepperdine University Corporate Board Investor Survey of corporate investors says that 51 percent of investors consider female board composition when picking stocks for investments. Board Diversification Strategy: Realizing Competitive Advantage and Shareowner Value, published by CALPERS, shows that "companies without ethnic minorities and women on their boards eventually may be at a competitive disadvantage and have an underperforming share value."
Women on Boards = Improved Governance
Peak governance performance is significantly impacted by women. The presence of female directors, especially when three or more women serve on the same board, provides positive governance benefits to a company. In fact, the Conference Board of Canada found that boards with more women surpassed all-male boards in their attention to audit and risk oversight and control, as well as identified two significant factors for improved governance, as shown on the next page.
Women on Boards = Increased Independence
Peak performance requires board independence and female directors significantly impact the level of independence exhibited by a board. Directors guide three functions for organizations—strategy, risk management and performance of the chief executive officer. Research shows that women directors naturally demonstrate skill in acting independently and influencing other directors to do the same. A Wellesley report notes that "increasing the number of women to three or more enhances the likelihood that women's voices and ideas are heard and that boardroom dynamics change substantially."
Women on Boards = Greater Social Responsibility
Peak performance incorporates social responsibility as part of the daily fiber of an organization. Organizations with more women on their boards are credited with raising awareness and activity for social responsibility. Catalyst found that companies with female directors and executives contributed more philanthropically and environmentally. They tracked companies from 1997-2007 and found that each woman added to a board represented a $2.3 million increase in contributions, and each woman added to the executive team represented $5.7 million more in contributions.
Women on Boards = More Role Models
Peak performance includes the development of role models within the organizations and for society. When women serve on boards of directors, their impact as role models pervades all levels of business and society. The Conference Board of Canada reports that as more women are selected to boards, more women are appointed to senior management. Increasing the number of women in board and executive roles, therefore, increases the number of role models for women and girls, and encourages all organizations to emulate them. Two factors impact the growth of women in leadership, according to the Conference Board: 1) the openness and commitment of the CEO, and 2) the commitment of board nominating committees to develop proactive programs to recruit women.
How Does Colorado Stack Up?
The Women's Leadership Foundation, Inc., a division of the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce, is committed to increasing the success of Colorado organizations by providing a pipeline of women available to serve on their boards. The number of women on boards in Colorado private companies is currently less than half the national average, and the total number of boards having any woman members at all is only 44 percent, most of these having only one woman member. According to Women on Boards: Not Just the Right Thing ... But the 'Bright' Thing, published by The Conference Board of Canada, there is only one publicly traded board in Colorado having more than three women members.
The Women's Leadership Foundation's program Board Bound™ provides mentoring, networking and training to better position more women to serve on boards in the best interest of their organizations and the community. The foundation's vision is for every Colorado board to include at least three women directors and for each woman to be subsequently replaced with another woman in her board role in the future.
Peak performance in organizations is significantly impacted by the presence of female directors. The supporting research is overwhelmingly positive and consistent with other research about women in leadership, demonstrating women's unique personalities reflect successfully in any organization. Women in the boardroom provide a performance opportunity, not an egalitarian issue, for both corporations and nonprofit organizations that aim to solidify their competitive advantage and future. Women significantly impact an organization's performance, particularly when three or more women serve on the same board. Organizations benefit from women serving in the boardroom, including through improved financial performance, improved governance, a higher level of board independence from management; a stronger commitment to social responsibility; and an increased number of women role models in society.

Heavy smokers have been shown to have substantial decreases in two thyroid hormones, T-3 (triiodothyronine) and T-4 (serum thyroxine). Several constituents of cigarette smoke are known to have antithyroid activity. Thyroid hormone level changes may have a profound effect on overall metabolism, as well as androgenic and estrogenic steroid activity. Light and moderate smokers demonstrated a milder decrease in thyroid hormone levels. (Archives of Internal Medicine 144:501-503, March, 1984) Copyright 1985 Phylis Austin
