The development of children's morality is independent of intelligence
Using intelligence tests and systematic interviews, DIPF researchers investigated 129 children aged between six and nine years to find out whether their intelligence affected the children's moral development. No correlation could be found.
Highly intelligent children are often expected to behave more "decently" than their peers. Some studies have reported on a correlation between intelligence and moral judgements in adolescents and adults, and thus seemingly confirmed this stance. Can we, however, transfer this finding to the behaviour of younger children? No we can't, is the outcome of a current study presented by the German Institute for International Educational Research (DIPF). The researchers focused their assessment on children aged between six and nine years, drawing the following conclusion: "At elementary school age, we could not find any influence of intelligence on children's moral development, i.e. their moral judgements and moral emotions", says Hanna Beißert, the researcher responsible for the study at DIPF.
The team of researchers used a standardised intelligence test to ascertain the children's intelligence. The moral developmental status was assessed by means of presenting picture stories to the children showing the main character transgressing a moral rule. Participants were subsequently questioned regarding this violation of a taboo. Beißert explains that the researchers aimed to apply a procedure that reflects daily life experiences. For instance, the stories dealt with topics like not sharing with a child in need, pinching sweets from a peer, hiding another child's belongings, or picking on another child. In subsequent questions, children were asked to generally evaluate the acts ("Was this ok or not ok?"), reason about the moral rules and moral emotions connected to the story, and assess how they would feel if they had been acting in this way themselves.
The researchers applied the set of questions to all of the picture stories, deducing statistical values from the responses. Different statistical procedures were used to calculate the relation with intelligence (variance and regression analyses and rank correlations). No relation could be detected. According to Hanna Beißert, further studies are necessary involving different groups of participants, younger children and more measurement points to sustain the findings. Still, the educational researcher states the pedagogical impetus that "highly intelligent children need the same support in their moral development as their less intelligent peers".
Hanna Beißert has published an openly accessible article describing the entire study, together with her co-author Professor Dr. Marcus Hasselhorn (also DIPF). The contribution to the journal "Frontiers in Psychology" is available online: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.01961/full

This is a beginning writing course based on Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones. I facilitated this workshop for three months in 2009 and 2010 in which a half dozen writers met weekly.
We will be going through the exercises in the book in a semi-methodical way and discover that many of the "rules" for good writing and good sex are the same: Keep your hand moving, lose control, and don't think.
This is a good workshop for those who've been wanting to write freely and easily without getting blocked or hung up on endless editing and revising.

One of the great fiverr alternatives around is UpWork (previously known as Odesk) with over 1.5 million (!) clients. On UpWork you can search for freelancers all over the world or of course also look for jobs if you have a creative talent yourself.
Are you looking for a great and reliable freelancer?
Searching for a freelancer is very easy on UpWork. You can search for specific skills like "Photoshop" or "Word", sort the results by prices per hour, client feedback, hours worked on UpWork and much more. This gives you the best chances of finding the right person for the job. You can either set a fixed price for your project or pay hourly. This makes UpWork such a great place and a really great fiverr alternative. No matter if you're looking for a programmer for your website project, a creative writer for your next eBook or a virtual assistant that can help you to conquer everyday tasks like writing emails, answering phone calls and much more, UpWork is one of the fiverr alternatives that really stands out. For fixed price projects, you only have to pay the full amount of money, if the project turned out to your satisfaction. Otherwise you can pay less or even don't pay at all if the work was unacceptable. To make it even more safe you can set up contracts that freelancers have to sign digitally before the project starts.
Can't find a freelance job?
UpWork is not only a great fiverr alternative when it comes to hiring people. If you're a freelancer yourself, UpWork is one of the places you don't want to miss. There are plenty of potential clients (in fact, over 1.5 million at the moment) around and it is a great opportunity for both established freelancers and beginners. It's easy to search for jobs. You can easily filter the "job stream" and receive the best selected jobs daily. You can also subscribe to different job categories which makes it easy to find the right jobs for you. Joining UpWork is free, however there's a free membership and a premium membership. The free membership includes 60 "UpWork Connects" which you can use for example to apply for a job. Most job applications require about 2 connects. That means you can apply for around 30 jobs per month which is pretty awesome. You will also be able to create a freelancer profile which will include ratings from your last job, a portfolio if you uploaded any files, jobs you've worked on recently and of course a short bio, profile pic and everything else that makes a great online portfolio for freelancers.
Overall, UpWork is a great alternative to fiverr and really good for both freelancers and company owners who are just looking for the right guy (or girl).
Trivia: Did you know UpWork and Elance belong together? That means the two biggest freelance platforms are basically one!

Part of the Thai delegation at the recent Asia's 50 Best Restaurants ceremony was a Mr Oliver Kramny, who was formerly the GM at the (Mandarin) Oriental's legendary Le Normandie and now the GM for the Water Library Group. Now, the Water Library did not make the 50 Best list, and it was mentioned in various despatches (including at my friend Kenneth's blog and other more private channels) as a restaurant that deserved a place on the list more than certain ones which did. So when I found myself with a free evening on a recent visit to Bangkok, I made a beeline to the Water Library with my (by now) old crony, Bangkok-based journalist and PR man, Gavin Nazareth.
The Water Library is, to put it mildly, in a very strange location. After losing and rediscovering Gavin along the hustle of Sukhumvit Road, we hot-tail it to Chamchuri Square via the MRT. For those of you who haven't visited, Chamchuri Square is a decidedly middle-of-the-road shopping centre with decidedly middle-of-the-road casual eating and shopping options. With its promise of fine European dining, the Water Library would stick out like a sore thumb, except that it is sequestered away in a secluded corner of this fluorescent-lit everymall.
Kramny is at the door to greet us with a glass of R&L Legras Brut Grand Cru NV. If I needed any more reason to like him, he was born in Alsace, and his group employs a Singaporean chef, Haikal Johari, as one of the talents in its stable.
But tonight, we are the guests of German chef Mirco Keller, who runs the kitchen at the Chamchuri outlet. Keller offers us "whatever we want to eat", explaining that he offers a Seasonal Tasting Menu which showcases his inspirations and a Classic Tasting Menu, which showcases the restaurant's signature dishes. As Keller explains it, the Seasonal is a lighter, fresher and more progressive menu, while the Classic is richer and more intense. "90% of my European guests will order the Seasonal, whereas 99% of my Thai guests will go for the Classic". Having been here a few times before, Gavin opts for the Seasonal, which makes my opting for the Classic much easier.
Amuse Bouche: Tuna Tartare, Potato Crisps
Before we start on our menus proper, a little starter is brought along to amuse our bouches. The fact that it has potato chips / crisps in it already makes it a winner in my books, but the chips are merely a shroud for a gorgeously fresh tartare of tuna marinated in a salsa roja with a great acidity and lovely roasted notes.
Bread Course: Croissant
"We give you breakfast as well as dinner!" jokes Kramny as he sees the look of bewilderment cross my face. I have never before been served with a croissant at dinner (this dinner took place literally two weeks before my Darren Chin experience, where I was served a croissant at dinner for the second time in my life), and while this directly-imported French croissant is rather good, it is still a little odd. A homemade manitoba roll is more to my taste, crusty and substantial and going a real treat with a little knob of truffle butter (incidentally, far superior to the truffle butter at Cilantro).
Entree: Capellini with Wakame Seaweed, Tasmanian Abalone and Caviar
This is a good dish, and it has a lot in common with its chronological predecessors, the truffle and caviar pastas at restaurants with the Les Amis DNA (Les Amis itself, obviously, and also Iggy's and Gunther's and numerous others). For my palate, however, the capellini was slightly over, and the abalone slices were too thin. Abalone is prized as much for its texture as its flavour, and you substantially lose the first when you slice it so thinly. I think Keller has, however, pitched this dish successfully at the Asian palate, with its perennial cravings for umami, noodles and abalone.
Second Entree: Onsen Egg with Fricassee of Boston Lobster and Veloute of Parmigiano Reggiano
The parmesan is subtle, and I think Keller plays that note well so that it doesn't overwhelm the flavour of the lobster. With the egg and the sweetness of the lobster and vegetables, however, it is quite a rich dish.
Third Entree: Homemade Tofu with Foie-Gras and Shiitake Emulsion, Bonito and Leek
Gorgeous. Decadent. Umami. Wow. Surprisingly, the hero of the dish is the tofu, piping hot with a light, crispy exterior, but it sets off the earthiness of and foie gras and shiitake mushrooms beautifully.
I must admit, though, that the mouth-filling flavours and textures are starting to wear me out; Keller certainly wasn't lying when he said the Classic Menu was rich.
Bonus Course: Beef Consomme Infused with Curry Leaves
As I was reeling on the ropes from the vicious right hook of the foie gras, Keller brings out a vacuum coffee maker. But instead of coffee grounds in the top flask, there is a veritable garden full of curry leaves. The spiciness and light bitterness of the curry leaves has a surprising affinity with the beef consomme, and the result is hot and supremely comforting. When it's bitterly cold and snowing outside (admittedly not a very common occurrence when you are in Bangkok), this is the kind of broth that you want to be sipping by the fireplace with a good book in your hand. Awesome stuff.
Bonus Course 2: Iberico Pork Loin with XO Sauce
This was an off-menu special for the day as Keller had just gotten in some iberico pork loin from Spain. The pork itself is meaty and well-cooked, but I really don't catch the XO sauce reference - for a start, Keller uses cognac in his sauce, which no self-respecting Cantonese cook ever would.
Palate Cleanser: Wasabi Granita with Caramelised Lemongrass
After being overwhelmed by wave after wave of big, robust, flavours, my palate praised the heavens for the mercy of this refreshing wasabi granita. The caramelised lemongrass added a distinctly Thai touch.
Main Course: Seared Chilean Seabass with with a Mushroom-Bacon Ragout, Japanese Yuzu and Truffle
A superbly-cooked piece of fish with the most gorgeous golden sear. The ragout, with the barest accent of yuzu and chock-full of mushrooms and some truffle oil, is unrepentantly decadent.
Dessert: Apple Tarte Tatin with Madagascar Vanilla Ice Cream
Keller didn't seem particularly interested in this dish when he was introducing it ("you have a traditional apple tarte, not sure what else I can say"), but I thought it was a sensational tarte tatin. Crisp, flaky pastry, tender apple slices brought to just the right side of caramelisation,
Mignardises: Coconut Macaroon, Pate de Fruit, Rice Crispie Treat
Decent, but really not exciting.
Keller is very clearly a chef of significant chameleonic talent, able to change his range to suit his audience. His food does not compromise on flavour, sometimes to the detriment of the diner. When I mentioned my near-death gastronomic experience to Kenneth (who enjoyed his visit to the Water Library), he simply noted that Keller trained at the two-Michelin-starred Tim Raue, as if that explained everything. In turn, Kramny is the personification of clean-cut blond German charm, and a most reassuring and hospitable presence on the floor.
There are a couple of things that strike me as a little incongruous, though. The dining area beyond the central "water library" is not carpeted, and I find it very difficult to reconcile the presence of an aspirational, big-ticket dining experience here with its location. And the Classic Menu, given its tendency to overwhelm and over-indulge, is a ballbreaker regardless of what culture you come from.
And I guess that is where the artificiality of "food criticism" is shown up in earnest. I have not lived any length of my life in Thailand, although I have visited on numerous occasions and have enjoyed the food each time. But for me to tell someone what I find rather odd, is an exercise in cultural judgment necessarily based on my ignorance of what that culture / market wants. It is, and can only be, a very personal opinion based on my experience. Proceeding from that premise, the only relevant question is whether I liked the Water Library.
I did. A lot.

"From My Cold, Dead Hands"
"I have five words for you. From my cold, dead hands." Those were the words of Charlton Heston as he addressed the National Rifle Association while referring to presidential candidate Al Gore's gun ban policies.
Damsel and I are saddened by the passing of legendary actor and gun rights advocate, Charlton Heston. Known to his friends as "Chuck," Heston was a warm, personable man, unpretentious and a firm believer in the family unit. I know this because I met and spoke with him - twice actually.
If you've read my profile, you will know that the reason I claim the title "Cap'n" is that I am a pilot and Flight Instructor. My student pilots started calling me that when I earned my Airline Transport Pilot certificate. It was my privilege to have had the opportunity to instruct Fraser Heston, Chuck's son, up through his solo flight in a Piper Super Cub belonging to a friend, Ralph, who was also one of my students.
On the day of his solo flight, Chuck and the family showed up at Santa Monica Airport to witness Fraser's first flight as pilot in command. We did a couple of full stop landings together to warm up. I jumped out of the plane and walked over to where the family stood. At the gas pit. Chuck introduced himself just as though he was only the Dad of my student. He introduced the family and then lapsed into small talk about his flying experience as a crew member in Alaska during the second world war. After the solo flight - three takeoffs and three full-stop landings - we proceeded to the tie-down area where Chuck opened a bottle of champagne and poured it into several plastic champagne glasses sitting on the horizontal stabilizer of a nearby Cessna. We toasted Fraser's first solo and wished him blue skies and safe passage.
It was easy to think about Chuck as though I had known him most of my life - which was essentially true if you consider having seen most of his movies - the man was the same on and off screen.
Damsel and I were invited to a screening of "Mother Lode," a film produced by Fraser and starring Chuck. We both got to meet and speak with Chuck at the event.
As the years passed since that time, we became more avid in our guns and shooting activities. As NRA members, we were proud to say that we knew this legendary man.
The world will miss Charlton Heston. Our deepest sympathy goes to Fraser and the family in this time of their loss. God bless Charlton Heston.

The crown is a "tooth-shaped cap", which is placed on a decayed or discolored tooth. Before the crown is fitted the tooth is prepared and ground down. The tooth itself, if it is possible, is not devitalized.
A bridge can be applied if you have a tooth gap, but the adjacent teeth are healthy. In this case the teeth next to the gap are ground down and serve as pillars for the bridge. It is a 3 item bridge, made of 3 crowns and bridging one tooth gap. Bridges can be applied to bigger tooth gaps where two or even 3 teeth are missing. In this case the bridge can be 4 or 5 items long, but the number of pillars is always two. They are at both ends of the tooth gap and the bridges are fixed to the pillars. It is also possible to have bridges of 6 or more items, but in this case there must be a pillar, that is a tooth in the middle area of the tooth gap.
The placement of dental implants is the most often required treatment in Hungary by foreign patients.
The implant is practically an artificial tooth root (screw) that is surgically installed into the jaw, and then single crowns, bridges, overdentures are fitted to it. Our dentists only work with high quality teeth implants that have medical records of at least 20 years and are made of titanium.
Most implants are screw or cylindrical shaped and usually have a diameter of 3-6 mm and a length of 7 to 21 mm. Titanium implants do not cause any allergic reaction they are used for decades in human surgery not only in dentistry.
Screws perfectly fuse with your jawbone so they provide the best solution for tooth loss for decades or lifetime.
If your tooth is decaying it must be treated as soon as possible to avoid any further problems. Fillings are needed to restore chewing ability and aesthetic reasons as well. The later you get your tooth treated the bigger problem and more possible pain you have to face. Little decays can be treated by white composite fillings but bigger wholes are rather treated by inlays and onlays depending on the recommendation of the dentist. Fillings and inlays are white they completely match your teeth colors.
The aim of root canal treatment is to save a largely damaged tooth. It is a retention dental procedure whereby a diseased or injured living tissue and tooth material is removed but the root canal is retained so that the outer structure of the tooth can be restored with filling or crown. The purpose of root canal treatment is to remove tissues and nerves causing complaints without removing the tooth.
Veneers are the most popular solutions for aesthetic issues of front teeth. They can be used in cases when teeth are healthy but they are a bit misaligned, or discolored or just they do not have perfect shapes. Placement of veneers is a very gentle treatment as it partly removes a very thin layer of the tooth enamel. Despite the gentle and not invasive intervention veneers make long term and very aesthetic solutions for those who want to improve their smiles.

Meigs Truth Unfolds
Daley Drops Security Story...
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley Wednesday told The Chicago Sun-Times that Daley "dropped all pretenses" and admitted it was not security concerns that drove him destroy Meigs field but his intent to turn the airport into a waterfront park. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge confirmed Daley had not consulted his department. At the same time, National Air Transportation Association President James K. Coyne told the House Subcommittee on Aviation strongly and directly that "Congress must act by condemning the action" taken by Daley at Meigs. Coyne warned directly that Meigs "could well be the first in a long line of state and local government actions designed only to meet personal agendas while ignoring the aviation infrastructure needs of the nation as a whole." If anything, Daley's change of script will add more fuel to the considerable fire that's burning over his decision to send excavators to tear large Xs in the airport's only runway 10 days ago. AOPA launched a federal suit against the city claiming the runway was closed illegally, because the FAA wasn't notified and there was no "emergency" to justify its immediate closure. AOPA also paid for newspaper ads generally vilifying Daley and his actions at Meigs. Criticism is even coming from other countries, with the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association sending a letter and advising members to do likewise.
...Senior Politicians Turn Up Heat
And how has the mayor been holding up under this political storm? Daley appears to relish the adversity, at least according to one observer. Chicago columnist Greg Hinz noted that Daley "has been in full strut" since the bulldozers went in. Hinz notes that Daley is no stranger to controversy and suggests the threats of boycotts and the enmity of the aviation community will bounce off. But even Daley must answer to someone and it's suggested the reaction by some powerful federal and state politicians might take some spring out of his step. Since Daley broke his promise to keep Meigs open, Hinz says state and federal politicians -- who have the ability to make life difficult indeed for the mayor's legislative agenda -- are openly speculating on whether the assurances they've received from Daley on a variety of issues are worth anything. After all, he had agreed to keep Meigs open at least until 2006. Among the legislators was a senior aide to U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) who wondered whether Daley's promise to provide a western road access to O'Hare International, as part of its expansion, was still on the table. "I wouldn't have thought to ask [before the Meigs destruction]," said Hastert aide Mike Stokke. "The mayor gave his word." Might want to get that in writing, Mike.

A must browse shop as you tour Port Townsend, conveniently located on Water Street.
- Very helpful staff
- Good selection of books, including references and ideas for writers
- Readings and signings
- Writing workshops
- "Quiet Write" rooms
A must browse shop as you tour Port Townsend, conveniently located on Water Street.
If you live near or are visiting Seattle, take the ferry to Bainbridge Island to explore Eagle Harbor Book Company.
A short walk from the ferry, on Winslow Way, you will find everything you desire in a bookstore:
Photos ~ Bainbridge Island, WA
Located on popular 8th Street (restaurant row), this is a terrific place to stop in and browse. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, with "staff picks" and book club picks displayed.
There is an excellent selection of books, including mysteries (where I always find new authors), literature, sci-fi and fantasy, philosophy, history, cooking, health and games. There is a terrific classics section ranging from Edgar Allen Poe's "Tales and Poems" to Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." The children's section also has a wide range of books, games and toys, including many classics (J M Barrie's "Peter Pan").
There is a small sitting area plus a nice selection of cards and cute socks and check out the Water Color Travel Set. It is a small shop but well worth your visit.
Nestled in the Blue Mountains of North Carolina, Asheville is well-known as the home of Biltmore Estate, Appalachian Art, The Appalachian Trail plus a multitude of activities for tourists. It also has Malaprops bookstore, established in 1982, which rates very high on my list of book stores worthy of a visit.
My first thought when I crossed the threshold was how comfortable it felt; here was a bookstore that made me feel at home. The staff are friendly and helpful and gladly answer queries, not only about books but also about the surrounding area. I quickly discovered that the store carries an intriguing array of books, from best sellers to stories and photo books set in the area. There are also maps, posters, games and language books, including Hungarian. Yes, I did a double-take when I saw the Hungarian books.
The café area is the ideal spot to sit and browse through the books that caught your eye. There are pastries from a local shop plus an extensive drink menu, ranging from assorted teas and smoothies and marvelous coffee concoctions. Indulge your love of mocha with an "Extra Century Perception" (an Irish crème mocha) or "Suicide Pack" (Almond coconut mocha). They also serve locally roasted coffees.
When you visit the Asheville area, add Malaprops to your list of places to visit. http://www.malaprops.com/

I currently have a small kitchen. Well, okay in all honesty it has great cupboard space, despite the deep pantry shelves nearly driving me spare (you have to do the 'reach and grab' on quite a few shelves and hope you put that jar of chocolate chips or popcorn away in the right spot last time!).
I love the corner cupboard between kitchen and dining room, with it's glass door and glass shelves. It fits our plates and glasses really well, and the cupboard beneath is a tight squeeze for our plastics.
But the bench space (or severe lack there-of) is insane! Doesn't help that we are not 'do your dishes immediately and put them away' people. Dishes get done once a day in our house. After dinner. As I am quite partial to hot meals during the day, to baking, to making homemade pasta sauce, hummus, dried kale chips, and more, and therefore the dishes do pile up somewhat. I've tried (very briefly, I must be honest!) doing dishes after breakfast. But that doesn't seem to help much. It's the during-the-day dishes that are the problem. This is the only house I've lived in that I've genuinely found myself wishing for a dishwasher. Not to wash the dishes. That would be great. But more just to get everything off the bench. Sigh. But even if we have NO dishes on our bench, it is still rather small. Two little patches, either side of the sink, squeezed between the stove on one side, and the dining room on the other.
Hence I am VERY grateful for our windowsill.
It's a bit of a silly window really. Rather deep. So deep I can't reach the back without standing on a stool! Grin. I'd have personally chosen something not quite so deep, but wider instead. But never mind. VERY glad to have it.
And this is why:
You see? If I had no windowsill, where would I put all that?!
I have concluded that a good kitchen windowsill needs to be on my house-hunting list. As someone who likes to use fresh fruit, homegrown, and so on, I need space to ripen the sundry things that land in my kitchen when I am either not ready to eat them or they to be eaten.
Plus of course there's the various plants - I'd have way more herbs than just aloe vera if I had space and light for them! And the kitchen is the best place to raise vegetable seedlings. I'm in there every day, so what better place to ensure they get watered and watched properly?
These seedlings were soon transplanted into the garden and instead we currently have an almost ripe pineapple, a plate full of tomatoes, and some gold kiwifruit that are taking weeks to soften up (but are most deliciously delicious once they finally do!).
I am finding that as I get older, I am preferring a tidier house. Not a bad thing! But I think the kitchen is always going to look a little chaotic. It's a growing, cooking, developing kind of place. Perfection is not required. Good food is.

Who will be crowned Legend of the Bay? Opening this year's packed-out events calendar at Watergate Bay, Legend of the Bay being held on 18 & 19 April will decide just that. Launched in 2013 and back for a second year, 'Legend' brings together stand-up paddle boarders (SUP) and kitesurfers for one big weekend of high-adrenaline watersports.
Get ready as some of the UK's best wave riders descend on Watergate Bay. As a collaboration between the British Stand Up Paddleboard Association (BSUPA) and the British Kitesports Association (BKSA), the list of those competing should see a really exciting event.
What's the event all about?
Stand-up paddle surfing has been described as a cross between canoeing and surfing, where riders stand on a large surfboard and use a paddle to steer, turn and propel themselves through the water. If you've visited the beach in the last few years, its likely that you will have seen them in action out in the surf or flat water – or even had a go at it yourself!
The kitesurfing element focusses on wave-riding skills, with competitors using powerful kites to pull them into the waves to complete airs, turns and tricks.
Competitors can enter either individual competitions in their favoured sport – a wave jam kitesurf event, or a SUP surf competition – or they can challenge for the coveted title of 'Legend of the Bay', which will be awarded to the competitor with the highest combined score from both sports. The disciplines cover every angle, so when it's windy the kites are up and when it's calm the SUP's are out, so there's always something going on for spectators.
Chairman of BSUPA and Legend of the Bay organiser, Richard Marsh, said: "A lot of people do multiple sports, for example, many surfers take part in windsurfing, kayaking or stand up paddle boarding; there's such a huge crossover and we wanted to demonstrate that. Having two sports gives people the option to enter one, or both events, so it's unique in that sense."
Event timings
Ideally, the kitesurfing element will take place on Saturday 18 April, and the SUP contest will be on Sunday 19 April. However, it depends on the weather forecast and surfing conditions.
Competition of both days will aim to start around 9am and run until 4:40pm. Semi-finals and finals will be held towards late afternoon when the tide will be on the push, bringing the competition closer to the beach, and in front of The Beach Hut. Prize Giving will follow after the completion of the day competition.
"High tide is early evening, so the very best of the action will be from 2:30pm onwards," said Richard.
The Beach Hut will be open from 8:30am to 9pm with a newly covered deck serving as a perfect viewing platform for what is sure to be an adrenaline-fueled spectator event.
Competitors to watch
In 2013, Watergate Bay veteran and former Extreme Academy instructor, Dom Moore (above) took the title in a fierce competition and perfect conditions, with over 40 competitors.
According to SUP Boarder Magazine, former BSUPA National Champion Neil Gent has confirmed his intentions to compete this year. Neil has competed on the national scene for both sports for many years, and will be a strong contender for the title. Closer to home Lee 'Pasty' Harvey will be strong in the kite competition. Lee stand up paddleboards too, so he could be worth looking out for.
Entries for the competition are now open and can be found via the following link: www.webcollect.org.uk/wcws
One thing's for sure. Skill and focus will be needed by anyone who hopes to steal the crown from Dom. He's been wearing it for two years so it fits pretty well. Definitely an event not to be missed.
You can learn to kitesurf and stand-up paddle board with the Extreme Academy.

Grimsby's House of Fraser store put up for sale for £12.75m
ON THE MARKET: The particulars for the sale process for House of Fraser's Grimsby store.
By Grimsby Telegraph | Posted: 26 Apr 2017
GRIMSBY'S House of Fraser store has hit the market with a cool £12.75 million price tag.
The property, 9-21 Victoria Street West, boasts 92,400 sq ft of floorspace arranged across five storeys, and is being offered as a freehold sale by KLM Retail. The thriving store is unaffected.
Not technically part of Freshney Place, although offering access to and from it, the sale is seen as a sign of confidence in the town.
Offering a yield of more than 7 per cent, and with the fashion-led department store in growth and signed up to occupy the prime site for another 22 years, it may well tempt a major corporate investor.
House of Fraser currently pays nearly £1 million a year to occupy the flagship site.
Chartered surveyor Rupert Guy, partner at KLM, said the sale had only come about because the institutional owner had just let another large department store in Chester to the same tenant, and wanted to "dilute exposure".
The retail expert said: "It is a property which has 22 years remaining on a lease to a tenant that has been in that location for over 50 years, originally as the Binns department store.
"Freshney Place's landlord has done a huge amount of work to improve the scheme and footfall, and is in a joint venture with the council to bring a cinema and leisure development in to the scheme.
"House of Fraser trades very well out of it and it will give someone a very healthy return pro rata to other investments out there. I would think it will appeal to another institutional investor, overseas investors, certainly perhaps people who have never been to Grimsby before.
"Grimsby is a thriving community very much in its own catchment. While it is en route to nowhere, when you do get there, you find it is doing very well indeed.
"We have plenty of interest."
Details pulled together to market the store describe Grimsby as a "busy town and port" with a primary catchment of 256,000 people.
Grimsby town centre based chartered surveyor, Lawrence Brown, who heads up Scotts, anticipates another city-based transaction.
He said: "This shows some confidence in Grimsby. The brochure is very positive. I see it as being attractive to the right market. At the moment money is fairly cheap to borrow, and a pension fund that has a duty to provide a return will see it as a good opportunity. I can see it being fairly well sought after."
The town's flagship department store was bought for £10.5 million in August 2009 by Development Securities, changing hands 13 months later for £13.1 million, to a pension fund managed by Rockspring Property Investment Managers.

If you have an online retail business or if you sell products through a website such as eBay, Etsy, or Amazon, you need tools to help track and manage your inventory. Several apps have been designed just for this purpose, and in many cases, you can sync these apps with your QuickBooks Online account or other versions of QuickBooks so you can keep close tabs on your sales.
Compatible with QuickBooks Online, Shopify offers e-commerce solutions to retail businesses with their own websites, helping with everything from setting up the website to processing credit card transactions. However, Shopify isn't just for entrepreneurs with their own websites; it can also help you manage sales on Facebook, Amazon, Pinterest and a range of other sites. Additionally, Shopify tracks your inventory and shows you the information on a dashboard when you sign in. You can add new inventory manually, and if you sync a booster app like Restocked Alerts, you can receive email alerts when inventory is low.
DEAR Inventory
DEAR Inventory is a one-stop inventory solution that can work on a small or large scale. The app can track inventory levels in multiple locations, generate invoices, and create purchase orders when stock is low. It can handle multiple price levels, expiration dates and customer discounts, and it has costing and aging features that allow you to assess the profitability of individual items and track how long it takes you to sell certain items. Brick-and-mortar retailers can use DEAR Inventory, and it also offers features for manufacturers. However, if you sell products online, you will love how DEAR integrates with many e-commerce sites as well as with QuickBooks Online.
This app is especially designed for retailers who sell on more than one site or in more than one location. For example, if you have a brick-and-mortar shop and your own website but also work as an Amazon reseller and list some products on eBay, a solution like Agiliron can help. Agiliron tracks inventory for all of your sales channels, and it allows you to look at inventory levels, change pricing and create purchase orders to buy more inventory all in one location. In addition to inventory management tools, Agiliron also facilitates order fulfillment activities and helps you manage your supply chain. In addition to working with QuickBooks Online, this app also syncs with QuickBooks Desktop.
Cloud Cart Connector
You may prefer to rely on the inventory tracking tools in QuickBooks and use Cloud Cart Connector to facilitate communication between your e-commerce site and QuickBooks. This app works with QuickBooks Online, but the company makes similar programs that interact with the Pro and Enterprise versions of the software as well. If you make a sale on one of your sites, Cloud Cart Connector uploads the sale to QuickBooks; based on that information, QuickBooks can create invoices, generate new client files, reduce the amount of inventory you have on hand and update your revenue column appropriately. You can catalogue each of your sales separately, or you can instruct this program to organize all of your sales from each site under a single category. You can also set up this app so that it syncs at a certain time every day or week.

Many taxpayers in Georgia and across the country have been receiving threatening emails and telephone calls from individuals claiming to represent the Internal Revenue Service. During these interactions, imposters try to threaten their victims with lawsuits, deportation and arrest in order to obtain personal information and cash from them.
IRS streamlines filing for small businesses for 2014
Small business owners in Georgia may be pleased with an announcement by the IRS on Feb. 13 about regulatory tax changes the agency states will apply to 2014 and to subsequent years. The changes are designed to make it easier for small businesses to use repair regulations and comply with the tangible property regulations beginning this tax year.
Facts that could prompt an audit of a Georgia tax return
In 2013, the IRS audited roughly 1 percent of all tax federal tax returns. However, there are specific factors that could increase the odds that a specific return is audited. For instance, those who made more than $1 million a year are audited at a rate of 11 percent. In comparison, those who made less than $200,000 a year were audited at a rate of .88 percent.
Reporting profits from partnerships on tax returns
Partnerships are unincorporated companies, so the IRS does not tax these businesses directly. Rather, the owners are required to report the profits they earn through the partnership on their personal income taxes because they are considered self-employed. New partnership owners in Georgia might not know all of the requirements involved.

Title: The Owner of Mars Attacks!
Writer: Eric Rogers, with Bill Morrison
Art: James Lloyd, Steve Steere Jr.
The third edition of Futurama Comics arrives in my country, and now that I've read it, it's time to review it. Will it live up to the excellent TV series? Read on and find out:
In this issue, the gang head to a flea market where Leela discovers some collectible creatures called 'Needy Newbies' that she finds really cute. Inez Wong apparently also collects them, and she treats Leela to one, as well as inviting her to a weekly collectors meeting at her place. She and Zoidberg both go, but when a selfish Inez doesn't let her or anybody else talk about their collections because she only brags about hers, Leela swears that she will stop Inez from getting the whole collection. The race to get the last two Newbies begins.
Meanwhile, Bender starts stealing things from Planet Express so that he and his new scrap-selling friend can hawk off the merchandise at the flea market.
In the last review, I complained that the script suffered from too much Nibbler. Also, the art wasn't up to the high standard set by the first issue. Thankfully, this issue doesn't have those problems.
First of all, the story is interesting, funny and well written. We also have a well-conceived sub-plot that ties in well with the original story. The main story works well, with some focus on a rarely used character, Inez Wong. The idea of the Newbies is quite original and fits in excellently with the Futurama theme. Add to this some original new characters and the well-portrayed flea market and the whole thing comes together into what could work very well as a TV episode. It seriously could.
Onto the art, which in this issue is fantastic. Pretty much flawless, and in keeping with the original issue's. The characters are well drawn, as are the backgrounds and other objects. The attention to detail and busy artwork keeps in with the feeling of the show, which is good. While Futurama Comics #2 had artwork that was like an average Simpsons Comic, this issue looks almost like shots from the show, it's just that good.
The characterisation is where the comic really excels, as everybody is portrayed perfectly. Inez's arrogant attitude really steals the show (or story), and Leela is also brilliantly angry and vindictive (and rightfully so). Zoidberg is his typical happy self, while virtually nobody likes him. His love for his hideous Newbie is classic stuff. Bender is his typical dishonest and scheming self, while Fry is once again reminiscing about stuff from his past, and the Professor is annoyed by his behaviour. Amy and Hermes also fit the bill, with the latter constantly badmouthing Zoidberg.
Some interesting new characters are introduced in Bender's new friend Randy, Dr. Runefield from Nosferatu 4, and of course, the Newbies themselves. This adds more to the story by having personalities that fit nicely into the type of characters the show would have.
Overall, it's a great issue. It's funny, it's interesting and the characters are all there and at their finest. Even more satisfying than the original comic, and far better than the previous issue. The stories keeps you interested from beginning to end, introducing some excellent new concepts and characters, as well as keeping true to the original formula. Simply put, it's a great issue. Buy it. Buy it now!
Most Memorable Moment: The two advertisements at the back. One for owning your own celebrity head, and the other for a clapping device that claps for you.
Worst Moment: None, it's all good stuff.

1 year ago in Student Blogs
This article was written by one of our Student Bloggers, Sanchari.
Do you love castles, Roman history and Vikings? Then York is definitely the place to go for a day trip. Located in North Yorkshire, this city of cathedrals and rich culture is bound to make anyone who is interested in a little bit of history ecstatic.
This tour was part of one of the day trips organised by the Students' Union as a part of their Give it a Go programme. I went to York on 21 October with two of my flatmates and we started at around 8am from the Students' Union.
We went to the City Walls surrounding the city first. The view of the city from the walls was mesmerizing. The next destination was York Minster, one of the main attractions of York. York Minster is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe and it was amazing to see such a grand structure soaring the heights of infinity throughout so many decades. When we went inside, the spectacular structure was beautifully engraved with so many glass paintings and archaic designs. It is definitely something that can't be missed.
Next we went to the Shambles Market where I was literally crying out of joy. I'm a huge foodie and seeing so much food from different cultures all in one place and sold at such a cheap price…nothing made me happier! We tried some Greek and Spanish food which was extremely tasty and didn't burn a hole in our pockets. Also, Diagon Alley from Harry Potter is inspired by the Shambles street. So if you're a Harry Potter fan, you would find a couple of stores selling exceedingly good Harry Potter merchandise.
York is also incomplete without having a taste at Betty's Café tea rooms. There was a huge queue outside since it is so popular but the wait was worth it. We had Betty's traditional afternoon the, which included mouth-watering scones and delicious cakes along with a range of sandwiches. Trust me when I say this – that was some of the best British traditional food I had since I came to UK.
We then decided to not make this trip all about food and go to Yorkshire Museum. There we saw a myriad of things ranging from how the Romans built this city to how the Vikings ruled here. It was pretty interesting and we landed on an observatory which is supposed to be one of the oldest ones. I really like astronomy and seeing how an observatory functions excited me to the core.
Next on the list was a boat tour on the River Ouse. This experience was so enthralling. The pilot of the ship was telling us all about various places that we could see from the boat. We went under two beautiful bridges and, honestly, I felt like I was in Venice because that's all I had seen in movies and now I was actually experiencing it. We had hot chocolate while we were on the boat and that made the experience even better. Hot chocolate, beautiful city, on a boat tour, good weather- what could have been better?
Our trip's last stop was the Clifford's Tower which was in an elevated height that gave us an extremely good view of the entire city and the two rivers.
We departed at 5pm and reached back around 7pm at the Students' Union. This was my first day trip and it couldn't have been more satisfying.

Episode Fourteen "A Surprise Before Flying"
After their afternoon at the beach, Miranda dropped Shaun off at the place where she found him — A Page In The Sun. He had found Miranda after all of these years. She was married to a mobster that had taken a professional basketball team from his father and had disgraced Miranda's grandfather, but that wasn't what was most important to Shaun at that moment.
He was happier than he had been in years.
He took time to look at the sky, hear the music of the city and bip and bop through the park.
Approaching the hotel, he saw the place was swarming with police. A crowd had gathered around the makeshift police cordon that surrounded the entrance. He asked an American tourist he had seen a few days ago in the elevator if he knew what happened and he said the hotel owner, Esteban, had been found in his private room with his throat slit and his "dick" cut off.
Shaun tried as hard as he could not to look worried, concerned or anything but mystified.
"Damn, like Bobbitt?"
"I guess," said the other American before adding, "well I guess its time for dinner? Have some?"
"Thanks, no, just got back. Any idea when they might let us back in?"
"Could be hours, minutes. No one knows, no one knows."
"Thanks. My name is Shaun, by the way."
"Mine's Rico. Nice to meet you."
"Same here. See you later."
"By for now," the man said.
Shaun headed over the drug store just to call Miranda. It went right to voicemail.
"This is Shaun. Esteban's dead...."
Shit, he thought. Can't leave a message like that. He followed the prompts as best as he could in Spanish and deleted it.
He hung up the phone and turned around to find his fellow American from the hotel standing right behind him.
"Let's go, Shaun, if you want to see Miranda, I'll take you to see her."
"Let's just say my boss told me to come get you and this is not a request."
"Your boss?"
"Don't act dumb, let's go."
Rico led them around the corner to a waiting car.
"Will this be a long ride?"
"Just sit there."
"Come on ... Richard, was it?"
"Yea, whatever. Here have a drink."
Shaun took a plentiful swig from a bottle of quality Captain Morgan.
"So where are we going?"
"Did I tell you to just sit there, or not?"
They drove for about fifteen minutes after that, though Shaun was too distracted by his own thoughts to have any idea of where they might be headed or if he had any idea where they were or where they were going.
He wasn't scared, nor was he worried. He never had been that kind.
They pulled up to a regular, unassuming house, except for that it was quite secluded inside a regular looking upper middle-class Mexican suburb.
"Let's go," Rico said.
The house was just as normal on the inside, and Rico told him to sit down before continuing down the main hallway. The driver sat across from Shaun on the couch. When Shaun looked at him, he smiled a silver-laced grin.
Rico came back down the hallway and motioned for Shaun to get up — which he happily did — and walked down the hall and through a door to where Tony Guidano was lying in a bed with Miranda at his side, weeping.
"So, boy, looks like your vacation has taken quite a turn," Guidano said before pausing to cough for a long while. "Need a drink?"
"No, I'm fine," Shaun said, feeling the death which was creeping up on Guidano creeping up on him, too.
"I heard you spent the afternoon with my wife?"
"I did."
"Yea, well, when the son of one of the biggest jackasses I have ever met, and tried to screw me over many times in my younger days spends the afternoon with my wife, you must understand I want to know why."
"I do."
"You do, huh? Then why the hell don't you go ahead and answer the fucking question," Guidano said excitedly, leading to another marathon coughing session.
He looked over to Miranda for something, anything, but she just sat there without a hint of anything.
"We met at my hotel."
"Nothing much, really, it was just a nice day."
"Take a few steps back for me, Mr. Bianco. So, where did you meet her?"
"At my hotel, I told you."
"You know, your father was a good liar, too. But when you know the truth, as I do, lies just don't work."
"Tony, please," Miranda said. "We've already been through this."
"Shut the fuck up," he spewed to Miranda. "Now, tell me again, Shaun, where did you meet her."
"At the hotel."
"OK, OK. If you want to do it that way, that is no problem with me. I know, though, that you two have been friends for years. And, I now know that she is Chief Montoya's grandaughter and that this whole fucking thing has been a load of shit. She should have killed me when she had the chance. Now you are dead."
"What the fuck did I do?"
"I know you are down here to help her. I knew she had been fucking Esteban so I took care of him. I just didn't know why else she was spending so much time at that hotel after she left his room. She had gone into your room for about an hour for a couple of weeks. I know you are in on it, too."
"Mr. Guidano, all of that is true, but I had nothing to do with any of it."
"Sure, sure. I hate to tell you, but I never believe a word out of a Bianco's mouth. In the really old days back in Sicily when they had a problem with someone, they would kill their whole family — to make sure there was no one left to get revenge. I should have done that with you years ago, but it is not too late to fix. Get him out of here, Rico."
"Wait, wait, please, don't do this," Shaun said.
"Come on, kid," Rico said as pushed to the door.
"Please, Tony," Miranda wailed.
"Shut the hell, up, whore. I will deal with you later."
Rico again began pushing Shaun to the door, but this time, something in him snapped. He punched Rico as hard as he could, sending him flailing onto the ground and was quickly on top of him. Rico was not new to brawling and quickly had Shaun rolling away with punches, kicks and shoves.
"Get that little fucker," Tony shouted.
As Rico pulled a gun, Miranda jumped onto the bed next to Tony and put the sharp little knife she had held to Shaun's neck the night before to Guidano's.
"Stop it right now, or I'll slit his fucking throat," Miranda screamed.
Rico stopped and looked at Tony who was breathing heavily. He nodded at Rico.
"And drop the fucking gun. Now!"
Rico again looked to Tony and dropped the gun.
"Now we are just going to get out of here, nice and slow. Pick up the gun, Shaun."
"You two have nothing left. You think you are just going to walk out of here and live? I will find you, someone will find you, both of you...." Tony began to wheeze and cough.
"I hope it is me, you little shit," Rico said, smiling.
"Come on, Shaun," Miranda said as she slid off the bed before taking the knife from Tony's neck.
As Miranda walked out the door, the driver grabbed her, took her knife and put it to her throat with his arms keeping her from moving.
At that moment, Shaun did not think, he just did. He raised the gun, shot the driver in the head, sending he and Miranda flying out into the hall. Rico charged, but Shaun shot him too.
Guidano looked up, and reached for the night stand. But before he could get there, Shaun began shooting, not stopping until the clip was empty and he just stood there, looking at the carnage.
He jumped when Miranda grabbed his arm.
"Shaun? Come on, Shaun, we have got to get out of here. Give me the gun."
He handed it over in a daze. She wiped it clean with a sheet from the bed and dropped it to the floor.
"Looks like you are coming back to the States with me whether you like it or not."

Gone Girl Review
Thursday, October 02, 2014
Director: David Fincher
Starring: Rosamund Pike, Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Patrick Fugit,
Running time: 145 minutes
Rating: 18
The much anticipated film based on the highly successful thriller by entertainment writer turned novelist Gillian Flynn is finally here. But does it live up to the hype?
Gone Girl tells the story of the disappearance of Amy Dunne (Rosamund Pike) and the unravelling of her marriage to Nick (Ben Affleck) as their lives and dirty laundry are made public in the midst of a possible murder investigation. Despite the absence of Amy we are shown both sides of the married couple's story, with the film cutting between voiced over flashbacks from Amy's journal to Nick's day to day from the morning she's gone.
While the film centres around the disappearance "Amazing" Amy, it delves into a lot of themes that can occur around the downfall of a modern marriage. We see things like recession, family, and affairs getting in the way. But one of the most important themes is the power of the media because with accusations coming from every angle, Nick finds himself trying to distance himself away from a "wife killer" hunt and having to attempt to prove his innocence to the community, and to the audience, without even being arrested.
Fans of the novel will love the depiction as it stays very true to Flynn's original. She also wrote the script, giving her the opportunity to try new things and making slight tweaks to the story, but try not to listen to her interviews, because some parts of the film are word for word. But despite the familiarity Gone Girl and its characters remain wonderfully distant and we find ourselves as an audience taking part in a suspenseful dark dream that never lets us know who to trust.
Our two leads Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike take dark turns in their career with their roles. Pike shines, distancing herself from the English rose and steps up as a perfect vixen who is dragged down by her lesser spouse. It might be a shock for fans of the pair, as the film is raunchier than what either one of them has done before, exploring lust, intimacy and a power struggle.
The film is unmistakably David Fincher, there are moments where the darkness and the Trent Reznor composed soundtrack throws you back to films like The Social Network and Fight Club. With many movies now these day pushing the two hour length, Gone Girl goes for the 2 hour 25 mark without being boring or feeling misguided, it is a very stylish, smart, intense, interesting and mind blowing film.
Gone Girl is incredibly impressive with its ability to cover many character traits, background, and complexities without once feeling out of place and remaining relevant in this one of a kind genre that can only be described as a mix of thriller, romance and noir. Of course a film will never be able to provide us with enough information and detail but Gone Girl manages to leave an incredible amount of background story given all through subtle remarks and to the attention to detail. There are moments where Gone Girl will feel very ridiculous and contrived, but by the end of the film you can see that this is intentional. If there is one thing that Fincher and Flynn can do, it is bringing a WTF exclaimation and a smile to your face all at once.

All week long I've had this blues song in my head. It's a little tune that goes something like this:
Gimme a big WASP man,
I mean a big WASP man,
I'll make him meat loaf 'n' mashed potatoes
Every chance I can
I wanna big
WASP man.
You see, Doctor, it all began when I was talking to another woman at work about cute guys. Cute guys. Homo cuticus. We are both mature, responsible, kinda now, kinda "with it" women. We have held jobs, bought property and delivered babies. We have Significant Others whom we have no intention of leaving. But what our SOs don't know won't hurt them. So what we like to do is talk about cute guys.
