Awards success for the people we support
Paul Baker2021-01-13T19:06:06+01:00January 13th, 2021|
Working towards these awards has provided important structured activity to give individuals something to focus on and aim for throughout the changing periods of lockdown during the pandemic. For many, it meantsettings.
The awards were gained in a range of schemes such as: The Duke of Edinburgh award, Mencap Gateway Award, BAGA gymnastics Award, RYA Helmsman Award, The National Navigation Award, Rock Hopper swimming awards, John Muir Awards and the ASDAN award.
Throughout the past 12 months, we have seen a number of success stories, including:
A group from the Community Health and Wellbeing department conquering the Glyderau challenge.
People having successfully adapted away from their usual daily timetable and routines.
Individuals have transformed their gardens and some have grown fruits and vegetables.
We have developed our own internal award scheme called the Personal Challenge Award.
Here he is receiving his Bronze Gateway Award – 'Physical Section' certificate from a coach at Sales Sharks Rugby League Club for developing skills in fitness and rugby. This was prior to the pandemic but was part of the overall Gateway Award, which Christopher is still working towards.
Christopher accesses Autism Together's CVS day services and we have supported him to achieve a variety of awards over the past few years. He discussed his experiences in taking part in these different award schemes during his time at Autism Together.
I enjoy trying something new and different, it helps me learn new things. Now I can go in the shop and purchase different things by myself. It's given me a project to aim for.
Do you like doing the awards?
What awards have you achieved in the past?

en | N/A | N/A | There are soap opera storylines that can keep fans on the edge of their seats and then there are some that start off good and then drag on. Then there are others that are recycled with a feeling of “been there done that.” Regardless of the reasoning, below are some storylines in daytime drama that need to end in 2020.
This entire storyline just recently rolled out, but here’s hoping it ends and soon. It feels like recycled and repeated material from the late 1990s, which is exactly what it is. Days of Our Lives (DOOL) is infamous for bringing back older storylines to try and make them fresh and new again, but Princess Gina returning is a major flop. Here’s hoping with the 12-month time jump that is happening right now, writers will decide to go another direction with Hope.
Hasn’t Summer suffered enough rejection in her lifetime? Why do Young and the Restless (Y&R) writers continue to place her in situations where she’s close to Kyle, only to get dumped. It’s clear, Lola is his choice, and placing Theo into the mix of this never-changing love triangle only means that this storyline is sure to drag on. Can’t Kola get past all this, and move towards another obstacle in their marriage?
Just when GH fans think that Peter’s turned a new leaf, he pulls out a new scheme that has him lying to Maxie and placing Sam McCall in jeopardy, where viewers once again question August’s motives. Is he a good guy or a bad guy? This depends on who you ask in Port Charles these days, as Anna and Maxie may have a different answer than Jason and Spinelli.
Initially, Dina’s story around her Alzheimer’s was a beautiful one that not only raised awareness about the condition, but also the struggles that both patient and family must endure when a loved one suffers from this disease. With that said, how many storylines can the show produce around the same idea? With Dina’s over-the-top past, just how many secrets does she have that she cannot fully remember? How much more hasn’t surfaced in the over eight decades she’s been on this earth? At some point, this concept has to go away. Even Dina can’t have that many skeletons in her closet.
How is it that soap opera heroes are sometimes placed in jail for an extreme amount of time for the smallest of crimes, and villains can get off scot-free for the most heinous of acts? The very idea that Kristen has stolen babies (plus, embryos, for that matter), paraded around as Nicole Walker for months, plus got pregnant by seducing Brady (under the guise she was Walker), and gotten away with all this is mind-boggling. How is she allowed to freely walk the streets of Salem at this point?
When will the truth come out about Wiley’s real parents? When the child graduates high school? Seriously, baby switch storylines, in general, should be outlawed in the land of soaps at this point, but the fact that Wiley is well past his first birthday, and Michael STILL doesn’t know the truth is beyond ridiculous. The truth needs to come out by 2020.
Speaking of ridiculous, will Gabi Hernandez ever learn that the game of revenge never reaps any reward? She tried to get back at Abby with some schemes, and Chabby still reunited in the end. Her next target was Stefan, and she ended up falling in love with him. This Lani plot seems like another silly ploy, and truly Gabi needs to move on from her immature ways and need for revenge. It just never works.
He seems to be healing, but there is a ton of speculation on the Y&R that Billy could be on the cusp of another breakdown. This storyline has dragged on for too long, and since this darker side of Billy’s came out of the blue, here’s hoping that with therapy, he can move onto something else in the land of Genoa City.
Can Nelle Benson just go away already? Clearly, not. Despite all that she’s done and the fact that she’s in jail, she seems to still continue to wreak havoc in Port Charles, even on a part-time basis. Perhaps once the Baby Wiley switch is (finally) revealed (if that ever happens), Nelle can crawl back into the dark hole she once came from.
How on earth do members of the DiMera family pass on, only to come back to life? Do DOOL fans even take any of these losses seriously anymore? Days spoilers indicate that Stefan may return at some point, and teasers also point to the fact that Chad will state he’s been in contact with Stefano, which means he’s still alive as well. Tony recently returned, and Kristen too (a while back), too. It seems as if there’s something in the bloodline that gives this family nine lives.
There’s nothing like sibling rivalry on a soap, and no two brothers do it better than Adam and Nick. But seriously, can’t they just (finally) brush it all under the rug for the sake of the kids if nothing else? While the two seemed to be close to putting their differences aside before Adam passed away, since he’s returned, it’s been full-throttle fighting (and Nick hasn’t backed off one inch), with Chelsea, Connor, and Christian as pawns in their game. Time for both men to move forward. |

en | N/A | N/A | MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)– The future of the Pikes Peak Cog Railway may go off the rails.
The historic railway closed in early winter for maintenance, so engineers could take advantage of the slower season. However, crews soon realized more serious repairs were needed on the 127-year-old train, which is owned by The Broadmoor. A big problem – many of the parts aren’t made anymore.
“We realized that we had to bring in experts to really examine what was happening,” , told CBS4’s Kelly Werthmann.
The railway has been safely taking visitors on the nearly nine-mile trip from the base of Pikes Peak to the 14,110-foot summit and back since 1891. Scott pointed out the railways has a perfect safety record in its 127-year history.
“Now, as we start to look at everything, we are seeing things that were past their useful life,” she said.
A review of the railway has been launched As of now, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway is closed for the foreseeable future.
For visitors, however, many are disappointed they cannot take a ride on one of Colorado’s iconic treasures.
While he is sad to disappoint visitors now, Wren is holding out hope for the historic train. He’s also keeping in mind how important the Pikes Peak Cog Railway is to the local economy.
As staff determine what’s best for the cog railway, they want the public to stay in the loop with the process. For those interested staying on track of what’s happening to the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, Scott encourages them to send an email to |||EMAIL_ADDRESS||| |

Fertilizers keep farmland productive and suburban lawns lush, but what happens when the fertilizers we rely on find their way into the watershed?
Scientists working ouare looking to answer that question—with the help of Bryn Mawr’s Thomas Mozdzer and his research group including undergraduate students and Bucher-Jackson postdoctoral scientist Dr. Joshua Caplan.
An assistant professor of biology, Mozdzer is a plant ecologist whose work focuses on wetland habitats. With this study, Mozdzer is looking at the effects of chronic nutrient pollution on salt marsh plant communities. Called the TIDE Project, the study is looking at how a salt marsh ecosystem responds to chronic nutrient pollution—those fertilizers from upland agriculture and suburban lawns, discharge from sewer treatment plants, stormw, among others.
Plus, the project is long-term—it’s been underway for 11 years. Long-term data is essentialo large scale perturbations. For example, if the experiment had stopped after the first three years, which is a typical time frame for ecological studies, we would have had completely different results—and would not have been able to predict or observe the collapse of the salt marsh creek banks with nutrient pollution. This has actually been the most unanticipated result, as these ecosystems were supposed to benefit from increased nutrient pollution.
I began working with colleagues on TIDE Project about two years ago. In my role as the lead plant ecologist, I collaborate with biogeochemists, community ecologists, microbial ecologists, food web scientists, and coastal geomorphologists from four institutions to understand how these ecosystems will respond to global change factors, such as nutrient pollution.
Our preliminary data show that, after 10 years of nutrient pollution, the plants in the fertilized creeks are genetically different and are less genetically diverse than those in our non-manipulated reference salt marshes. Understanding how genetic filtering of the foundation species, Spartina alterniflora, feeds back on ecosystem processes is my current focus.
Other studies have found that genetic diversity—even within a species—correlates with ecosystem resilience. For example, the greater the genetic diversity, the more robust the system, and the less vulnerable to disturbance the ecosystem is. One current hypothesis is that the loss of genetic diversity with nutrient pollution may also contribute to the collapse of the salt marsh due to a selection for particular plant traits.
We had expected the plants would grow more with added nutrients, allowing the marshes to keep pace with sea-level rise by building soil. Instead, we found that plants actually allocated less of their energy and resources to roots. Without those roots to hold the soils together, the banks of the salt marshes are literally falling apart. As a consequence of these changes in ecosystem structure, there are changes in the abil such as storm buffersI’m very interested in u other global change factors on ecosystem carbon cycling. Because of their ability to store disproportionally more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem, salt marshes are critical ecosystems for carbon sequestration globally. However, in addition to nutrient pollution, salt marshes are also subject to other stressors—sea-level rise, warming, and droughts. The combination of these factors may disrupt the processes that allow salt marshes to sequester carbon, which may feed back to global climate.
Finally, we want to see what happens next. As I said earlier, the long time span of this project resulted in completely unanticipated findings. The collapse of the salt marsh creek banks didn’t happen until year seven. Once the current phase of the project is over, we’re planning to submit another proposal to look at recovery. Will the marshes be able to recover if the nutrients are no longer supplied? What effects will continue? What are the implications for policy? There are many directions to pursue!

en | N/A | N/A | Doug Austin: In eDiscovery Today's State of the Industry report released back in January, almost a quarter of respondents identified discovery of collaboration app data as the biggest eDiscovery related trend for 2021. What advice do you have for our audience regarding how to address the discovery of collaboration data?
Of course, this makes eDiscovery more challenging because a lot of the content is in different areas. It's not in my files but is in someone else's files shared with a bunch of comments, or it's in a space that wasn't created by me. Perhaps it was a channel created with many members, a page with many contributors, etc. This means collecting someone's data sources is no longer the best approach. Just because a Custodian is the owner or created the document, it doesn't mean he/she was the main contributor. The word "custodian" and what he/she owns is going to be different and it's going to affect everything, including how you search and review the documents and how you produce them. The challenge is really difficult, and we take what the software is able to give us. As an Attorney, you're probably reviewing one chat message at a time and it's very difficult to find context in that. How do you group those messages together to surface that context?That's something that I would recommend for people to reconsider. There are a ton of AI tools out there and I think we've done a good job trying to find ways to get people using topic modeling technology along with chat threads so they can find the context. So, my recommendation is don't get stuck reviewing one item at a time – that's just madness!
Doug Austin: In addition to collaboration data, there are several other new sources of ESI that are becoming regularly discoverable in litigation. How is IPRO helping organizations address the discovery of these new data sources?
One thing that I would say is unique is not just having all these different sources but tying them together. How do you link "Jane Doe" in Office 365 to "Jdoe" in Slack or "doe.jane" in Gmail, and search across them all?We see customers that have a hybrid of different sources, so it's about being able to show a client that "hey, it's just Jane Doe, where do you want to look?
Doug Austin: It's been over a year now since the pandemic forced a lot of organizations to work remotely for social distancing purposes. How has the pandemic and remote work impacted the IPRO team and how has it impacted IPRO's customers?

en | N/A | N/A | Respiratory problems arise for various reasons and in Australia we’re “lucky” enough to experience most of them. Pollens and grasses are the main cause externally, however internally it’s dust mite. Getting inside is a great way of escaping pollens in the air, however if you’re heading into a home that’s circulating unclean air, you’re effectively throwing fuel on the fire.
If you have ductwork within your home, chances are it needs a clean. Some tell-tail signs of ductwork that needs some attention are:
- Bad odours coming from the vents
- Dirt, or dust marks around the air vents
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, give Service Today a call and let one of our trained technicians inspect your ducting. You’ll be glad you did.
Once the ductwork has been inspected and deemed ‘clean’, it’s then sanitised using a non toxic anti-microbial chemical agent.
The result is a dust free, insect free, bacteria free duct, which transports clean, fresh air to your home. |

en | N/A | N/A | Anwar Ibrahim: US Must Cease ‘Ambivalence’ Toward ...
HOT video: ceramah war in Pasir Puteh, Bachang, Melaka ( 11/03/2012)
The proposed as GE-13 date Malaysia’s government is discussing the possibility of an early election in May or June, ahead of Prime Minister Najib Razak is scheduled to speak on March 26 to as many as 4,000 information ministry staff, who help oversee elections, the government officials said. One date proposed for the contest is June 3, according to three of the officials. The ruling National Front coalition is seeking to extend its 55 years in power, and an early vote would allow Najib to take advantage of rising public approval after the government announced cash handouts and vowed to overhaul security laws. Satisfaction with Najib’s leadership rose to 69 percent last month from 59 percent in August, according to a poll by the Merdeka Center for Opinion Research. “All signs seem to be pointing toward an election at the end of May or early Juneby phone. “It’s he’s.”
While Najib has offered election sweeteners, he is also grappling with a potential scandal after a member of the ruling party said she’ll resign from the Cabinet amid a corruption probe against her husband. Shahrizat Abdul Jalil will step down next month as minister for women, family and community, according to the Star newspaper. budget announced in October featured cash payments to low- income families. Malaysia will also announce plans for a minimum wage this month, a government official said earlier this week. Najib’s cabinet has yet to complete the plan, according to the official. Najib’s rising popularity has reduced the risk of a surprise election result such as one that occurred in 2008 and led to a stock market sell-off, according to a March 13 report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch. In 2008, the ruling National Front lost a third of its seats.
Sin74 percent compared with a 47 percent gain for the MSCI Asia Pacific index. “The Prime Minister is focused on delivering prosperity, security and democracy for all Malaysians and will call an election when the time is right for the country,” a Malaysian government spokesperson said by e-mail. Malaysia’s opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim was acquitted of sodomy charges in January that he claimed were politically motivated. He pledged to “clamor for reform” in a bid to unseat Najib after the verdict. Gross domestic product may expand 5 percent to 6 percent this year, Najib said in the annual budget speech on Oct. 7. The economy expanded by 5.1 percent last year, the government said Feb. 15. Before 2008, the worst showing for the National Front was in 1969, when candidates representing urban ethnic Chinese and rural Islamic opposition groups won more than a third of seats in Parliament. Ethnic Chinese victory marches prompted a backlash from Malay groups that led to emergency rule. Najib’sMuslim World
NEW YORK, February 9, 2011 – The US should actively support the burgeoning democratic movements in Egypt and throughout the Muslim world, argues Anwar Ibrahim, who sees American support for embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in the context of a larger “policy of ambivalence.” “You talk about democracy and freedom; you support autocrats and dictators,” said the former Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. “I’m not suggesting the Americans send troops. I’ve always consistently opposed the sending of troops. “But you have to take a position—like [Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip] Erdo?an. His position is clear: when it comes to the people against the corrupt, repressive rulers, you must be with the people. That is what we stand for. You use the term ‘inalienable rights,’ but when it comes to some communities you can compromise.”
Ibrahim, who many feel has been unfairly persecuted by the Malaysian government because of his calls for democratic reform, was joined in conversation by Asia Society Associate Fellow Ann Marie Murphy, who is Associate P The implications of the Egyptian uprising for the entire Muslim world are enormous, according to Ibrahim, who noted that “no Muslim country, from Pakistan to Indonesia, Malaysia, South Thailand, or South Philippines, did not produce thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of graduates from Egypt.” Ibrahim denied that the revolts in Egypt and elsewhere were being hijacked by radical Islamists, as some in the West fear.
“Let us be clear that these initial revolutions, be they in Tunisia or Egypt, are quite spontaneous. They are popular movements. You can’t say that they are either Islamic or secular movements; they are just peoples’ movements, and the issues are clear: they want to rid their country of decadent, corrupt, repressive rulers. They want democracy and freedom, and of course more transparent policies that guarantee their welfare and economic well-being. The basic issues are still economic.”
~Reported by Ben Linden From Asia Society~
The prime minister may make light of the survey findings which indicate that most Malaysians want him to debate with Anwar Ibrahim but the sad fact is that this man has too many skeletons and question marks next to his name to risk a debate even with Jelapang Hu.
Therefore the best he can do via his blog (again a safe option so he will not have to answer tough questions from the alternative media) is to talk about only debating with responsible leaders and not those prone to conspiracy theories.
This is diversion 101: when you are stuck, blame the other party. In truth, Najib Razak will not debate with anyone and these are the reasons:

en | N/A | N/A | phiHow do you collaborate? What’s your process?
When I get into debates [with friends] about the pursuit of pop music versus the pursuit of artistry, I always say that, to me, it’s so much scarier — and it makes you far more vulnerable — to attempt to connect with everyone. When they reject that, it hurts more. So I like that challenge. I like trying to turn the whole world on.
Do you know when you have a hit on your hands?.?.
You’ve been a coach on “The Voice” for 15 seasons. What have you learned about the business of television?
Because “Songland” is different. It gives a window into what writing songs is like — the kind of open stream of creativity. Charlie Puth is in the pilot, and you’ll see all these different producers and the way they would approach different songs, what they would do and wouldn’t do and what they would change and what they would leave. It’s not fake or calculated or canned. It’s almost like seeing an amazing birthday cake get made.
So it’s the “Cake Boss” of music competition?
Maybe in a more sterile way, it’s more like “Shark Tank.” People love to see the man behind the curtain — and I say the “man” but it’s a quote; they want to [see who’s behind] the Wizard of Oz. Really tearing those layers off of it is exactly what people love.

You forgot one, Gary. Had one of the couple sent a chase refer a friend to his/her partner they would have increased their bounty by a lot more.

Not only did the festival presentation mark the world premiere of the drama, which was selected for the “Discovery” section of TIFF, it’s notably also the feature film debut from director Tommy Oliver. Telling the tale of a father who is raising his daughter while also trying to get his crack-cocaine addicted wife clean, 1982 is set in Philadelphia during the crack epidemic of the early ’80s and is also Oliver’s semi-autobiographical story. Starring Hill Harper, Sharon Leal, Bokeem Woodbine, Lala Anthony, Quinton Aaron, with Wayne Brady and Ruby Dee, this is definitely a departure for Hollywood star Brady who is known best for his comedy.

So let's see, an ES 102 ED with aluminum tube and FCD100 for $1900 or a Vixen SD103S for $1,700...
See what I posted last year: this adapter was $35. Hah!
"Looks like ES didn't like my purchase through NewEgg. I received an email from NewEgg saying the the seller cancelled the order."
Is it mildly inconvenient?
Does it break the core functionality of the instrument?
Can you fix it for less than 1% of the cost of the instrument?
Can you easily apply the fix for less than 1% of the cost of the instrument?
Is it worth complaining about?
It is interesting how institutionalized ES prices of yesteryear are. People still recommend their eyepieces as excellent values as if they were still a fraction of the price of TV. If you get an eyepiece 90% as good as TV for 90% of the price of TV, is that still a great value?Ok, back to refractors... |

The barley silage w a s obtained from Pound Maker Agventures (Moellenbeck 2006), while the orchard grass w a s taken from Pacific Agri-Food R e s e a r c h Centre (Veira 2004). In addition, leachate obtained from washing spent material obtained from a bio-ethanol plant that used corn (TBD), w a s also tested.

T h e leachate w a s filtered out using #1 Whatman 11 um pore filter paper and a water v a c u u m . The pH of the leachate w a s measured using a Mettler Toledo 1140 pH meter. Half of this liquid w a s s a v e d to be inoculated a s raw leachate, while the other half underwent additional treatment to floe the small particles still remaining. To remove the solid material, a method similar to that for s C O D analysis w a s used.

en | N/A | N/A | In an interview with Chimpreports, the area chairman Beach Management Unit Muzaifa Baribarisigala noted that most of the children in the area have resorted to fishing and abandoning school at a tender age.
“We have tried to chase them away from the landing site but all in vain because as they earn a lot of money from the lucrative business,’’ stressed Baribarisigala adding that in the evening the children spend all their daily earnings at the local bars and discotheques.
”The children abandon classes and engage in activities like fishnet drying and sorting on top of selling the fish,’’ explained Baribarisigala.
The Officer in Charge for Rwenshama police post Ignatius Mugisha noted that police had tried to stop the children from engaging in such activities but stressed that parents never cooperated with them.
‘’Most parents don‘go with them to the landing sites,” explained the police officer noting that defilement cases have increased in the area due to employment of young children at the landing site.
”Police have tried to arrest the defilement suspects but lack evidence because parents get money from the suspects and settle the matters secretly,’’ added Baribarisigala.
However one of the parents contributed the increasing school drop outs to absenteeism by the teachers at schools.
‘’The teachers in schools also engage in fishing activities instead of going to class leaving the children without any one to teach them,’’ explained Amidu Ayinobushoboroozi a 45 year old mother.
He said that most teachers at the landing site have bought boats and nets and cannot find time to go to class and teach.
Swaibu Ganilu a 53 year old parent noted that the area has one primary school which makes it difficult for parents from distant places to send their children to school.
Ganilu added that it is difficult for the parents’ attacked by wild animals because of the area being in Queen Elizabeth National park.
A visit to Rwenshama Public school the only school in the parish showed that the government aided school was closed and pupils plus the teachers were away. |

Q. I love the sound of this monthly subscription, but I don't fit into any of the categories, can I still join?
A. Absolutely! I encourage anyone that's looking for change to join. The information and exercises can benefit everyone, however, you may find the topics in the Facebook group to be more specific in their focus.
Q. You mentioned that the Personal Renewal portion of the program is based on the book The Mother's Guide to Self-Renewal by Renee Trudeau. Do I have to buy the book and if I'm not a Mother how is this relevant to me?
A. No, you don't need to buy the book. You'll have the option to download any materials that you might want during the program. Having run Personal Renewal Groups previously with both Mother's and other people of all ages and backgrounds, I KNOW the value in this material and it's relevance to so many. As with most programs, you'll naturally find some months the subject matter resonates more with you than others, I encourage you to focus on what speaks to you and dive in.
Q. Is this program available in person? I have a group at my gym, yoga studio or Breast Cancer support group that would really benefit from it.
A. Yes, if you're in the Seattle, WA area, I'm available for booking a weekly or monthly group, even a weekend retreat! Contact me to discuss the details HERE.
Q. I'm currently following a specific nutritional regimen, will this program mess it up?
A. No. The recipes in this program are basic healthy, clean eating recipes. They do not follow any specific dietary regulations, think minimal sugars, minimal gluten and minimal processed foods. To help build healthier eating habits. You can always adjust them, as you would with other recipes according to your dietary needs.
Here's a sample month for you to check out.
Q. Will I lose weight on this program?
A. Although this is NOT a weight loss program (I have more specific programs, if that's your goal) depending on how you currently eat, you may well find yourself losing weight, due to the fact that the recipes tend to use clean, whole foods.
A. No, in fact they're easy, quick recipes for the most part. I understand that most of you are really busy, so I try to keep them fairly simple. Check out a sample month of recipes HERE.
A. Absolutely! This is a great add-on to the existing work that we do in your 1-1 sessions. Other than the Circle of Life, that you complete in month 1, an exercise that is forever changing, you will find completely new material in the subscription and a supportive community that I know many of you have been craving.
Q. What is the Clean Swap portion about? Is it a sales pitch?
A. No, it's not a sales pitch. First and foremost, I have never considered myself a salesperson. I am however, an advocate for living a less toxic life and using safer and cleaner products daily can have a large impact on that. When we use products that don’t work for us, they, just like our food, lead to a toxic load that we carry around and that has a major impact on our overall health. With diseases like Cancer, Infertility, Autoimmune Disease and Allergies on the rise, I see this as a major component and one that should not be ignored. My passion is to share information that educates us all to be able to make better, cleaner & safer choices for ourselves, our families and our homes.
Q. Can I cancel my subscription or get a refund?

Why are we talking about “cannabis seed collection”?
We would also like to point out that the products on the market tend to be feminized seeds and feminized autoflower seeds, so they are more than 90% likely to produce female plants. And it is precisely the female marijuana plants that generate high THC content flowers.
Besides, if you are caught growing a couple of marijuana plants, and you prove that you are only doing it for personal use… Then you’re not looking at jail time. But you risk an administrative fine, which usually involves paying a fine and reporting it to social services.
Collectable weed seeds: what you can and cannot do with these products.
Are you wondering what to do with auto flower seeds, feminized seeds and fast growing weed seeds? You can undoubtedly buy them without committing any offence, and you can keep them safely in your home, collecting as many as you want. Some cannabis seeds are for food use (not the weed Seeds BSF), and you can use them to flavour salads, breakfasts or other dishes.

en | N/A | N/A | As you may have noticed, I failed to publish my usual Sunday and Wednesday blog posts this past week. Blame writer's block. So I spent a good hour today brainstorming new blog post ideas aimed at adding to the ever growing amount of useful tips and life hacks the average person likes to hoard in his or her head, ready to use at the opportune moment.
It may come as a surprise, but I do some of my best work on the airplane to the point that when I have a trip coming up, I actually leave certain projects for in-flight. While it may not be the most comfortable temporary office, there is no better place to crack down on my to-do list than 30,000 feet above the ground where I have zero distractions. With headphones, I'm able to completely zone out and with a specific time frame, I'm able to focus infinitely better. I'd have to say my biggest struggle is fighting sleep, but once I overcome the initial urge to close my eyes, I whip out my laptop and usually wind up producing more content in 2 hours than I do over the course of a weekie mid-project.
Update your to-do list the night before.
I'm a big advocate for doing this regularly since it allows you to dive right into your workload without wasting time figuring out what you need to accomplish during prime productivity time.
If you decide to go wifi free like I do, make sure to download or screenshot any documents or emails you'll need to reference.
This one's definitely a personal preference, but I happen to like the window seat better and this prevents me from being interrupted by the people sitting next to me.
Treat yourself to an unlimited supply of coffee.
Like many people, I enjoy having coffee while I work so take advantage of the one perk airlines have left.
As soon as you find your seat, get straight to work. You may not be able to use your laptop yet, but that doesn't mean you can't review your to-do list, check emails, or do whatever it is you're able to do on your phone. This way you'll circumvent the temptation to turn on the tv and be fired up as soon as you get the green light to pull out your laptop.
View the flight time as a deadline.
I work best with deadlines, so by looking at the flight time as a deadline, I'm able to work more efficiently. That said, rather than take on a daunting project, I like to stick to tasks that can realistically be completed in the time frame.

I live near the St. John’s river so we experienced flooding and massive power outages A giant oak tree fell on my car. If anything, it evoked more of a reverence for the dispassionate ways of nature. I was less upset about the damages to my car than I was inspired by the destructive forces of the universe. Fortunately for us, North Florida was less affected than, say, Puerto Rico, but it was still a humbling experience. Though, it was actually quite beautiful to roam the neighborhood amidst the aftermath of the storm. Ancient trees were put to rest and modern luxuries, temporarily suspended. I did, however, manage to work on new synth patches for future songs by battery power, some of which are currently in the works.
Can you discuss the origins of Severed+Said? What inspired you to pursue these sounds and themes over these four releases?
In this interview with Delayed Gratification, you said, “The first track, “Occluded,” is an interesting word that implies being unable to see what’s right in front of you. You can be occluded from the truth.” The new album’s title is Incorporeality, and ‘incorporeal’ means no physical or material existence. How did you decide on the title, and how does that meaning relate to how youThe album title for Incorporeality came after I had recorded the material, as did the album title for Occlusions. Language is, of course, a technological device for communication, but words can provide meaning for profound, intangible concepts. Being an instrumental project, I’ve always relied on the album and song titles to imbue meaning into the sounds of Severed+Said. The word, incorporeality, came to me while reading about the secret rituals of various mysticisms throughout history. Some modern interpretations understand many of these rituals to be allegorical of the evolution of human consciousness and what was our gradual awareness of the self. Furthermore, some postulate that our deepening material awareness has made us less acquainted with our subconscious.
Of course this is only one recent example of the level of political corruption here. Developers have been destroying Florida’s natural ecosystem for decades, compromising the purity of our water. People have been fighting to keep the Sabal Trail Pipeline out of Florida to prevent further damage to the ecosystem. This has been an ongoing process with ups and downs. Of course, this kind of corruption isn’t unique to Florida. But to answer your question, no, it’s not my intention to interpret this through Severed+Said.

Stir fried long beans with prawns and salted fish floss
Curry chicken and stir fried long beans with prawns
The initial plan was to have Chinese Dim Sum in Rotterdam Chinatown. Blame it on my forever
in hunger state little tummy, it just couldn't wait for a mere 30 more minutes to be filled (dim sum restaurant opens only at 12 noon).
Due to the rather chill weather, anything to do with rice and noddles would just be fine for us. Hence, we settled in this little Asian food stall, few units away from Wah Nam Hong Rotterdam.
It is on mixed rice concept where you can choose dishes to accompany with rice or noodles. Fascinated with the salted-fish floss, I ordered a portion of it to go with my plain rice. The only veggie dishes of the day was the stir fried long beans with shrimps. So we both ordered the same veggie dish, but Phoebe opt for curry chicken as another side dish.
Seriously, the food tasted pretty good here. I was delighted with my choice, the salted-fish floss. This was my first time trying this and it tasted as good as it looked. Boneless and not too salty as i originally anticipated. Ideal dish to accompanied a steaming bowl of porridge.
The stir fried long bean with shrimps was not bad too. The long beans were crunchy in taste and with generous portion of shrimps. The portion of the curry chicken was huge too. The sauce was just nice to go with the dry plain rice.
Quite a satisfying meal after all. Perhaps tasty food costs slightly more than average. Quality is quantifiable, do you agree?
Healthy Toasted Roti John Recipe
Sunday, May 26, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
Undeniably Roti John can be pretty greasy and oily, mainly because the breads are pan fried in butter or oil. I have been wondering whether there is a way to enjoy my favorite Roti John healthily and minus the guilt. Yes, I am glad to share finally I have found an answer. I could choose to TOAST it instead of pan fried the breads.
In this post, I would like to feature my healthy version of toasted Roti John recipe with anchovy sambal paste. This is the healthy version, hence I opt to go moderate with my ingredients especially with less oil and seasoning; wheat buns were used instead of white bun; one beaten egg for the spread of 2 halve hotdog buns instead of two.
Ingredients: 2 wheat hotdog bun, an egg (beaten with some light soy sauce and pepper), 1 tea spoon of olive oil, 1 table spoon of anchovy sambal paste.
First, spread the anchovy sambal paste evenly on the surface of the halved hotdog buns. Next, use a spoon to drizzle the beaten egg mixture onto the surface of the buns, follow by a few drops of olive oil. At the heat of 180c, toast the buns in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the buns turn golden brown.
Check out how crispy the bread is.
It tasted as good as the one which is pan fried, minus the layer of greasy oil. The breads were crispy and non eggy in taste. The spicy and slightly salty anchovy sambal paste infused a complex taste profile and extra kick to my Roti John. Top with some carrot salad, it tasted shockingly good! Crispy bread, spicy anchovy and egg filling plus the crunchy carrot, what a great texture and flavour!
Yeah ... now I can enjoy my favorite Roti John without the usual guilt of extra fat and cholesterol, definitely no extra inches on my waist!
Quick and Tasty Bite @ Bread! in Schiphol Airport
Thursday, May 23, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
To beat the evening afterwork crowd, I decided to hit straight to the airport as early as 3pm even though my flight was scheduled for departure only at 8pm in the evening.
Since there was a 5 hours long waiting window, I know my little tummy won't be satisfied with merely biscuits and chocolate. I just need to get something solid before I board to the airplane.
I tried to avoid fast food as food high in trans fats and salt can also lead to fluid retention which in turns can cause heartburn and swollen feet. Instead, I opt for a healthier option, sandwich and juice at the Bread!.
Located at Lounge 3 in Schiphol Airport, the Bread! is hard to miss with it's gigantic BREAD logo. The Bread! serves a wide variety of sandwiches from €5. Travelers can either go for the pre-made selection (also refers as 'fast-lane') or the made-to-order menu.
My pick was the ham sandwich from the 'fast-lane' and the banana strawberry smoothies, while Pheobie opted the all-day-breakfast set from the made-to-order menu.
The sandwich filling was pretty generous with cheese spread, rockets, roasted cherry tomatoes and ham slices. Oh ya, you may request the attendant to toast the bread for you before serving. I simply adore the banana strawberry smoothies. Prepared fresh, the smoothies was really refreshing and was an ideal drink to quench the thirst.
The all-day-breakfast set was slightly at the pricey side, but the portion was pretty substantial though. It came with a slice of white bread, scrambled egg, hash browns, 2 rashes of bacons and fresh tomato slices.
I wasn't WOW over by the food serve here, but it is definitely an above average and healthier alternative than the usual fast-food chains. Seriously, I wouldn't want to board the plane with bloated tummy for a 12hr long haul flight.
Maritime Musuem @ Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Monday, May 20, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
Founded in the year 1873 by Prince Henry of the Netherlands, the Maritime Museum Rotterdam is a museum you should not miss if you happen to be in the city of Rotterdam.
Being one the world's top maritime museums and oldest maritime museum in the Netherlands, the museum sails you through the great naval history of the Netherlands.
From the 15th century West European ship model, so called Mataro Model to the top model ships, Maritime Museum Rotterdam has it all. There are more than 1500 model ships collected since it opened in 1874.
History ... sounds a bit too heavy for the young ones? Worry not as the museum is equipped with maritime related playground. Toy replica of equipments in a marine ships; how nature forces such as wind helps the ships to sail. There are a wide array of maritime activities which young children could experience in the museum.
The major attraction of the museum is the iconic 19th century ram ship HNLMS Buffel, the first ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy without sails but with a steam engine and dual propellers. The museum ship is docked outside of the museum with other ships on exhibition. Do feel free to strolled around the 'little harbour' outside of the museum. There are platforms connecting many ships together. If you are lucky, you may even witness the ship restoration work by the able technicians.
The Maritime Museum Rotterdam is for sure an ideal hang out place for both kids and adults!
p/s: The HNLMS Buffel will soon move to Hellevoetsluis due to cost cutting. The ship was still there during my visit in last March.

Superb Dim Sum Treat @ Full Moon Restaurant in The Hague
Friday, May 17, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
The eve of Queen's day outdoor concert (The Life I Live Festival) would take another 3 hours to start. To pass time, Phoebe suggested we go for a quick dim sum break, where we could recharge and refill before the big party starts.
The Full Moon Dim Sum Seafood Restaurant in Chinatown was our pick of the day due to it's convenient location, just a few streets away from the concert stage. For a dim sum treat for two, we go 'gentle' with the selections where only five dim sums were sampled.
1. Steam Rice Noodles Roll with Beef
Steam rice noodles roll with shrimp or char siew are pretty common, but this beef version is my first ever try. I was a bit skeptical at the first impression, but was totally wow-ed over by the taste. This is shockingly good! The steam rice noodle is silkily smooth, so does the filling. The filling is not chewy as I thought, but soft and moist, more akin to the texture of steamed fishcake. The beef filling is further enhanced with the minced coriander leaves and madarin orange peels. What a great combo of flavors!
2. Shrimp Dumpling (Har Gao)
One can really tell how fresh the shrimps are by just a single bite. The moist and succulent shrimps instantly hooked me up with this shrimp dumplings. Not to mention, the translucent skin dough is thin and not overly chewy. Big thumbs up!
3. Fried Taro Dumpling
I expect these fried taro or yam dumplings to be greasy but it turned out to be otherwise. Crunchy on the outside and juicy inside. The warmth and oozing minced meat and green peas filling instantly fill your palette after a bite. It is indeed a very well executed dish.
4. Fried Turnip Cake
This is another surprising dish. Unlike the turnip cakes back home which are mashed beyond recognition, you could easily discern the chunky shredded turnip and dried shrimps in every mouthful. It definitely tasted more authentic and 'natural'. Bear with me, I just dislike the artificial floury taste of run-of-the-mill turnip cake.
5. Char Siew Bao
This is by far the best char siew bao I have ever tasted. I dislike chunky pork fat in my char siew bao and to my surprise I hardly even find one piece in this char siew bao. The thinly sliced pork filling is flavorful in taste and the outer bun is both soft and fluffy. The filling and the bun are indeed match made in heaven. You will never go wrong with these char siew bao. Definitely a must-order dish!
After sampling the dim sum in Full Moon Restaurant, I soon understand why the restaurant is always packed on weekend. It is the great food that draws the crowd. Despite the not so friendly service, I reckon I'll be back soon for more dim sum, perhaps on another weekday.
Just for information, there is an on-going dim sum promotion on the weekdays (from 12 noon to 5pm), where dim sum is sold at a very reasonable price of €2.95 per dish. Pretty good value for money!

Simple, Quick & Tasty Chinese Vegetarian Dish
Wednesday, May 15, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
Home cook food is indeed the best cure to homesickness.
I miss mom's cooking terribly and decided to replicate her signature dish to ease my homesickness. Mom's homecook dishes can be very elaborate but there is this vegetarian dish which is very simple to make. It requires minimal effort yet taste absolutely great.
Check out my simple recipe.
a tin of vegetarian mock meat,
carrot cut into slices (0.5cm thick)
a canned of pineapple. You may use fresh pineapple instead.
* no additional cooking oil is required since the canned mock meat already contained sufficient oil.
Stir fry the vegetarian mock meat in medium high heat. Once the mock meat starts to bubble, add in the carrot slices, cucumber and pineapple cubes. Stir fry the vegetables and mock meat. Simmer for 5 minutes to marry all the flavors. Plate out and serve the vegetarian dish with a bowl of fluffy white rice.
Check out the vibrant color of the dish. Tempting and mouth watering! I really had a huge appetite for this dish, 2 bowls of rice in a go...
a. You could easily buy canned mock meat from most Asian grocers. It comes with a few flavors such as mock duck, chop-suey, sweet and sour pork etc. For me, I prefer the vegetarian mock abalone version.
b. The canned mock meat is pre-cooked and you can eat straight from the can. It is flavorful and no additional seasoning is required when preparing the dish.
Spare Rib Express - Convenient, Cheap and Delicious!
Friday, May 10, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
A complete Spare Ribs Menu with 650 gram of ribs, a baked jacket potato, a salad and two type of sauces for a mere €17 and is delivered to your doorstep without any additional delivery charges. This is truly value for money!
This is in fact a single portion menu, however, the portion is huge enough to easily feed two adults.
Being cheap doesn't mean the quality has been compromised. The ribs are well marinated, tender and moist. Coupled with the sauces, they tasted lip-smackingly good. Unlike the ribs served in the restaurant, these ribs are less salty so that you can enjoy the ribs with the sauces without thirsting yourself. Credits to the chef!
Besides the classic flavor, you can also have the ribs marinated in hot, sweet or BBQ flavor. In terms of extra sauce to go with the ribs, you can opt for shaslicksaus (I guess this is their in-house specialty sauce), garlic, whiskey, curry or peanut sauce.
This tangy tasting salad is indeed a highlight, pickled cucumbers are used instead of the common fresh cucumbers. The creaminess and sourness of the salad is just perfect to harmonize the whole set meal.
There comes the huge baked jacket potato. The garlic butter cream is packed separatedly. Before digging in, just spread the garlic butter cream over and sprinkle some salt on top (salt sachet is also provided). If garlic is not your liking, you may eat it with the tangy salad. Trust me, it tastes good!!
The Spare Rib Express is perhaps the cheapest in town. Next time when you crave for spare ribs but worried about burning a hole in your wallet, why not opt for the home delivery service from Spare Rib Express. Anyway, it is just a call or a click away. Convenient, cheap and delicious!
Spring in Japanese Garden @ Clingendael Park
Tuesday, May 07, 2013 by Denise 2 Comments A+ a-
The Japanese Garden in Clingendael Park (Japanse Tuin Clingendael) is finally reopened to the public this Spring.
To commemorate the 100th year anniversary of the garden, a huge red Torii or Japanese arch is set-up right at the main entrance of the Clingendael Park to give a warmth welcome to all visitors.
This small but utterly beautiful Japanese garden is very well preserved and maintained. The garden exudes a strong Japanese feel, and instantly flashes me back to the Ginkaku-ji garden in Kyoto the moment I stepped into the garden.
The sculptures, little bridges, water cask, plants and etcs in the garden were painstakingly shipped from Japan back in 20th century. To read more about the history of Japanese Garden in Clingendael Park, check out this link http://www.denhaag.nl/en/residents/to/Japanese-Garden-open-in-Clingendael-Park-2.htm
The magnificent views in the garden - cherry blossom and magnolia flowers in full bloom.
Admission to this beautiful Japanese garden is free. However, the garden is only opened for a short period each year, 6 weeks in Spring and 2 weeks in Autumn. Don't miss it!
Delectable & Simple Singaporean Laksa Recipe
Saturday, May 04, 2013 by Denise 0 Comments A+ a-
Now everyone can cook a bowl of delicious Singaporean laksa!
Thanks to Mei who brought me this ready-to-cook Laksa sauce from Prima Taste (a Singapore product) during her recent visit to the Hague. I soon realize how easy it is to make a delectable bowl of Laksa at home that tastes as good as the one served in the restaurants.
The ready-to-cook kit came with clear instruction and three packages of pre-mix sauce - sambal chili sauce, the curry laksa paste and coconut milk powder.
Here is the quick instruction on how to prepare the Laksa gravy. Firstly, bring a pot of 600ml water to boil and pour in the coconut milk powder. Once the powder is fully dissolved, add in the curry paste and stir well. Lastly add in the fish cake or shrimps to the gravy. Cook for another 5 minutes until the gravy is thick and rich.
With the Laksa gravy in place, I just need to prepare the basic condiments such as vermicelli (boiled in water for 3 minutes), cucumber and hard-boiled egg to complete a bowl of Laksa.
Ladle the gravy over the cooked vermicelli and top the vermicelli with cucumber shreds, hard-boiled egg (cut into slices) and fried shallots. There you go, a bowl of steaming hot Laksa is ready to be served.
The spiciness of the Laksa gravy is just perfect. For an extra kick, you may enjoy your Laksa with the sambal chili paste. The taste of the dried shrimps in the sambal elevated the overall taste profile tremendously.
It is truly a great invention ... the Prima Taste's ready-to-cook Laksa sauce. This cooking kit has indeed make our live easier. Lovin' it!!
a. Besides fish cakes, you can add-in any condiments of your choice into the gravy, such as chicken pieces, shrimps, fried bean curbs or squids
b. A squeeze of lemon or lime juice helps to provide the acidity to cut through the oiliness of the Laksa gravy

en | N/A | N/A | Do you have or are you considering Life Insurance through your superannuation fund? Life Insurance purchased through super can be a good way to ensure you at least have some level of cover, which is always better than none at all. And in most cases, you should be able to secure cover at a relatively low cost – without needing to do a health check.
With the banking Royal Commission turning its focus to the Life Insurance industry this week, we have heard details about some concerning practices involving a number of super fund managers.
Although you do not need to pay the premiums for Life Insurance out of your own pocket, they are deducted from your super account balance. This means you could end up with significantly less super benefits than you anticipated or had planned for in retirement.
Prior to the 2005 introduction of Super Choice, which enables workers to nominate their own super funds, many employees ended up with several funds as they shifted between jobs. If this has happened to you, its important to note that if you roll over all your super account balances into one fund, any Life Insurance held within the funds you are exiting cannot be transferred to the new fund. As ASIC’s MoneySmart website states, the same principal applies if you choose to change from one fund to another at any time.
If your superannuation ends at retirement age, any Life Insurance cover may too. This could be something you need to consider.
The insurances offered by super funds are usually default coverages and are therefore limited. The legislative system has some restrictions on the type of cover that can be offered within superannuation.
If you feel your cover within your super fund is too low, you may be able to increase it through your fund for a higher premium, or you could top it up by securing another policy outside of super. The latter may be a better option as it provides more choice and flexibility for you.
Some funds allow you to obtain a combined policy, one that includes Life Insurance, TPD, and Income Protection cover. Again, these types of cover are likely to be limited and may not adequately meet your needs.
If you have a combined Life Insurance and Income Protection policy outside of super, the cost of the Income Protection component can usually be claimed as a tax deduction when doing your tax return. However, if you have your insurance inside super as the premiums are not paid by you but by the fund, you cannot claim these premium payments as a Tax Deduction as these haven’t been paid directly by you.
NB – – refer to point 7 below.
Life Insurance purchased through an SMSF may be partially or fullythe rules are very strict and complex. For example, Income Protection premiums may be fully deductible if they are paid for total disablement under an ‘Any’ occupation definition, but only partially deductible under an ‘Own’ occupation definition.
Life Insurance premiums may also be fully or partially deductible, but the policy must be in the fund’s name. Any benefits paid will become financial assets of the fund, until a condition of release of the relevant fund member is satisfied.
According to the ATO, SMSFs are required by law to consider whether to secure Life Insurance for each fund member.

en | N/A | N/A | Also, conscious living is at the forefront of my thoughts for 2015. The concept of conscious living has interested me of late because I discovered originally from my life and from observing others that the majority of human beings are robotic in many areas of life. We do a lot of things unconsciously or subconsciously. For example, a religious person wakes up every Sunday and heads to church, he puts money in the offering bowl, sings the hymns and returns home. It takes no thought from him therefore the essence of the action is lost. Only actions taken deliberately profit us.
Naturally, es spontaneous and that is the inflection point where we start to lose the benefits of the practice and lose the utility of the decision making process. When decisions are made after a deliberate process, they tend to be more effective. We are told automation is good. The world is moving towards automation in every area. Machines are replacing humans and humans are behaving like machines. This is one area where automation is not profitable. Consistency is necessary but without automation. What makes consistent action automated is the absence of thought or deliberateness. You want to aim for consistency but never automation. We want to be live consciously in two broad areas: relationships (God, family and friends) and work (job, career, ministry and business)
Our relationships with family and friends also need to become more conscious. We routinely take our kids to school and games, hug and kiss our wives, call friends to hang out but rarely apply thought to these activities. Why do you do the things you do? What is the desired outcome?
As a practical example, let me lay out one of the activities I plan to practice consciousness in this year; church attendance. Before going to church every Sunday, I will now engage myself in a dialogue of sorts. “Deji, why are you going to church?” “I am going to church because I love God and want to be in His presence this morning. In His presence is fullness of joy and I ought not to forsake the assembly of the saints says the Word of God. I expect to hear a word from God that is relevant to my situation. I expect to be fed spiritually and to return stronger in spirit than I am now. Today, I will worship the Lord with my whole heart and show gratitude for seeing me through last week and in faith for the week ahead. I bring my sacrifice of praise, worship and offerings before You, Lord. Please accept me.”
In 2015, I have put conscious living and independent thought at the top of my working plan. I plan to be very deliberate about what I say, what I do, where I go, how I spend my time, and with whom I spend my time. If we all conform, we rob the world of originality and the blessing that is your uniqueness. You’ll find that the greatest contributors to mankind have been outliers; a group known for original thought and conscious living. Have an amazing 2015. Shalom. |

en | N/A | N/A | ppy cover by Loretta. Not to say that she would’ve won if she hooked the leg or did a tighter pin, but at least it would’ve shown that she was serious, instead of reverting to ‘Loretta mode,’ and looking to humble and humiliate Sabrina. Loretta DID go back to working over that injured arm of Sabrina’s, so in that, she’s keeping her head in the game and Sabrina from that high powered offense that had Loretta seeing stars at the start of the match.
That’s what Loretta gets for being cocky. HA!
In panel 5, where’d the ropes go? I’m not sure if you did that on purpose or not, Albone, but it looks good as it is.
I really like panel 5: Sabrina is down but not out.. but Sabrina is weaken.. I think for Loretta already got the win in panel 5, if she really likes to win there.. if Loretta applied an armlock (UFC style) on Sabrina’s left arm. surely “Ultragirl” Sabrina Mancini will cry out and tap out.. another insert on Panel 5 and Panel 6. Loretta is just toying Sabrina with that pin.
IMO.. I really like panel 5: Sabrina is down… hahahha
Loretta and Sabrina are kinda like a mirror match.. both Sabrina and Loretta have flexibity, when their in the lead both get cocky..
compare the match Krystin and Brooke VS Catgirls.. to Sabrina VS Loretta..
Sabrina here, didn’t quit.. still on fighting waiting for Loretta’s mistake..
and Sabrina strategy at first is good, in which she really didn’t damage Loretta..
I wonder how much of the pain Sabrina is actually feeling. I’m sure she’s aware of it when Loretta puts a move on her arm, but she could be ‘in the moment’ at other times and not be all that distracted by the pain because of her desire to win.
A. Mouse, Loretta is a cocky gal, for better or worse and its advantage: Loretta. I agree that win or lose that Sabrina has made a good showing to Loretta, the fans and herself. Actually, I’ve gotten that sentiment a few times from readers. I’m glad you liked panel 5! I was trying something different, glad it worked’submission’ to the list. |

This week, Zuma ordered Gordhan back to the country, cutting short an international investor roadshow he had been attending, thus fuelling speculation that he was about to be fired.
His deputy, Mcebisi Jonas, who was supposed to undertake the US leg of the visit, was also ordered not to travel to Boston and New York.

en | N/A | N/A | At the initial stage, production of rare earth concentrates will stand at 1 500 tons to be further brought up to 5 000 – 6 000 a year.
Rare earths producing facility constructed in Stepnogorsk, Kazakhstan, by a Kazakh-Japanese JV SARECO is ready to start its operations, a Tengrinews.kz journalist reports. It is to be officially launched early December after being shown to President Nazarbayev. November 2, KazAtomProm Head Vladimir Shkolnik and Sumito Corporation Senior Managing Executive Officer Toru Furihata cut the ribbon at the facility. “We are beginning start-up and adjustment operations at the facility that marks commencement of the rare earth industry in Kazakhstan”, Mr. Shkolnik said, reminding that the project was brought to life following President Nazarbayev’s visit to Japan. “ The facility is expected to transform into a vertically integrated complex to produce high-tech rare earths-related products. By 2017 we plan to start production of supramagnets based on rare earths”, he said. He also emphasized that SARECO already has a series of orders, with Japan being the major market. According to mnn.com, muchrvey. Permanent magnets are another big role for rare earths. Their light weight and high magnetic strength have made it possible to miniaturize a wide range of electronic parts, including many used in home appliances, audio/video equipment, computers, cars and military gear. Innovations like small, multi-gigabyte jump drives and DVD drives likely wouldn't exist without rare earth magnets, which are often made from a neodymium alloy but may also contain praseodymium, samarium, gadolinium or dysprosium. While producing rare earths can cause environmental problems, they have an eco-friendly side, too. They're vital to catalytic converters, hybrid cars and wind turbines, for example, as well as energy-efficient fluorescent lamps and magnetic-refrigeration systems. Their low toxicity is an advantage, too, with lanthanum-nickel-hydride batteries slowly replacing older kinds that use cadmium or lead. Yosuke KONDO,tressed that for quite a while Japan had lacked a stable supplier of rare earths due to a long-lasting monopoly of another country for such elements. The Stepnogorsk-based facility is expected to employ 250 Kazakhstan people. |

Through my involvement with the community, I have acquired a sense that people exist in terms of their location and heritage, now and in the future.

en | N/A | N/A | ml) for at least two dozen Melba Mai Tais.Pre-populated returns were pioneered in the Nordic countries. Denmark introduced this feature in 1988, Sweden in 1994, followed by the other Nordic countries by the early 2000s. Pre-populated returns have since been adopted in Chile, Slovenia, Spain, Australia, Estonia – and even the state of California.
It might also be surprising to many Canadians to hear that pre-populated tax forms have been tried in Canada. For the 2007 tax year, Quebec initiated a pilot program where 100,000 tax filers received a pre-populated form. The province intended to expand coverage each subsequent year, so that by 2011 all tax filers would receive a pre-populated form; however, in 2008, Quebec dumped its plan to expand the program.
The obvious intent of pre-populated returns is to reduce both compliance and administrative costs for personal income taxpayers, which also seems to be the understanding of those readers who submitted comments about wanting Canada to move to pre-populated tax forms. While on the surface this proposal may seem appealing, it is not without complexities.
First, as noted by the OECD, accurate withholding at source is critical for the success of pre-populated forms. Accurate withholding ensures few taxpayers are owed or owe money. Accurate withholding is necessary to reduce administrative costs. Since it takes longer for the revenue authority to issue pre-populated forms and even longer to issue refunds, as compared to a system where individuals file their own information, accurate withholding is essential so that taxpayers are not owed money for extended period of time. Timeliness was reported to be a key issue in the Quebec pilot project. Accurate withholding, however, is not as simple as it sounds and requires either a very simplified tax system or the transfer of immense information from tax filers to the tax authority at the start of each tax year.
Second, the reduction in compliance costs incurred by individuals is questionable since they still need to check that their form has been filled appropriately and correct missing or incomplete information. In systems with many specialized tax credits – such as Canada’s – the revenue authority may not have enough information (e.g., Child Fitness Tax Credit, Medical Expenses Tax Credit), so the individual will still need to collect and submit receipts. Further, individuals with income not subject to third party reporting (e.g. rental income) will see little reduction in their compliance costs. Indeed, as concluded by this report, pre-populated tax forms only reduce compliance costs for a small number of individuals with very simple returns.
Third, as noted in this UK report, there is little evidence that pre-populated forms decrease tax non-compliance. By sending the pre-populated form, the revenue authority shows its hand to the taxpayer. There is little incentive for a taxpayer to disclose additional income that the tax authority is not aware of.
Lass regarding reduced administrative costs. Indeed, the cost of complying with such systems still falls heavily on small businesses. Administrative costs for the tax authority are also quite high in the early years of the program as it sorts out reliability, availability, comprehensiveness, and timeliness of the program. Over all, the administrative benefits from moving to a pre-populated tax form rarely appear to outweigh the costs.

During the 1960s and 1970s Arthur Penn made a series of films that uncompromisingly engaged with the reality of America's violent past. Penn re-invented the gangster genre with Bonnie and Clyde (1967), a film that re-cast the main protagonists as lovers-on-the-run, in French nouvelle vague style.
The film was an attempt by Penn to unpick the romanticised mythology of the west in Hollywood. The revisionist western of the 1960s and 1970s accepted the arbitrary violence of the wild-west as a product of social, political and economic forces beyond the control or understanding of its cast. Accordingly, the new heroes were presented as composite characters with both good and evil in their natures. Left Handed Gun was originally conceived as a vehicle for James Dean, the poster boy of American teenage anxiety and rebellion during the 1950s.
The revisionist western is, at its most accomplished, a proto-Marxist exposition of the determining forces that shaped the westward American expansion. The genre also includes Once Upon a Time in the West from 1968, and Heaven's Gate (1980). These films refuse the complacent moral judgements used to justify the manifest destiny of western expansion.
The Legend of Pat and Billy
Billy the Kid was a member of the ranchers' outlaw force, named The Regulators. These enforcers, drawn from criminal elements across the southwest, eventually ran out of control. They were brutally suppressed in a series of bloody shoot-outs. Those that survived were dispersed and forced on the run. The implacable law-man Pat Garrett, eventually tracked, caught and executed Billy in 1881.
The legend of Pat and Billy was mostly created through the sensationalist memoir published by Pat Garrett in 1882. The myth showed Garrett as an enforcer who would follow his prey to the inevitable and bloody conclusion. This myth has been variously recast across American history and in various contexts, so that corruption and lawlessness will never, in the USA, be allowed to go unpunished.

en | N/A | N/A | How China Inc can be tripped up by miscalculations abroad
The Rajapaksas’ return to power in Sri Lanka is a reminder of China Inc’s unfortunate geopolitical miscalculations in south and south-east Asia.
During Mahinda Rajapaksa’s 10-year presidency from 2005 to 2015, some of China’s biggest state-owned enterprises rushed to secure large construction contracts that Sri Lanka ultimately could not afford. This caused Beijing much embarrassment after Mr Rajapaksa’s political opponents unexpectedly defeated him at the polls five years ago, and then began either to scale back many of those projects or renegotiate the Chinese state financing that underpinned them.
Mr Rajapaksa is now riding high again as prime minister, after his brother and former defence minister, Gotabaya, last month won the presidency back for Sri Lanka’s most powerful clan. However, Gotabaya Rajapaksa indicated on his first overseas visit as president — tellingly to India — that he would not be rushing back into China’s economic embrace.
It has been a similar story in both the Maldives and Malaysia, where Chinese SOEs were similarly tripped up by opposition party electoral victories that led to greater scrutiny of those countries’ financial and commercial dealings with Beijing.
Given the Chinese Communist party’s ever tighter grip on power at home, it is not surprising that the large SOEs it controls might find it difficult to read shifts in the political weather in such countries. But how have these same companies done in south and south-east Asia in more commercial contexts, which they should be better prepared to navigate given their own impressive records at home?
READ ALSO Deutsche Bank raises revenue target for investment bank
Alas a high-profile corporate case study now unfolding in India — the bankruptcy of Anil Ambani’s Reliance Communications group — suggests Chinese SOEs also have much to learn when dealing with private regional conglomerates and the tycoons who control them.
Ten years ago Mr Ambani was to India’s telecommunications sector what Mahinda Rajapaksa was to Sri Lankan politics: a seemingly irresistible force with no immovable objects lying in his path. In 2008, Forbes ranked him as the world’s sixth richest man with a fortune of $42bn, just one spot below — and a mere $1bn poorer — than his older brother, Mukesh.
In a bitter 2005 inheritance battle mediated by the Ambani brothers’ mother, Anil Ambani was given his late father’s power, telecoms and finance units while Mukesh Ambani took over the family’s oil business. A few years after the carve-up, Anil Ambani controlled four listed flagships with a combined market value of $108bn.
At this time, China Inc courted Anil Ambani as assiduously as it did Mahinda RajapaksaBeijing’s largest policy lenders, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China showered RCom with credit. According to people familiar with RCom’s development, much of it was usedchampions such as Huawei.
The extent of the dealings of CDB, Eximbank and ICBC with RCom would only become apparent years later when Anil Ambani’s empire began to crumble, in large part because of his brother’s entry into India’s telecommunications market. Mukesh Ambani’s start-up, Reliance Jio, has turned the industry on its head.
While Mukesh Ambani is now Asia’s richest man with a fortune estimated at almost $60bn, Anil Ambani’s net worth has collapsed gone bankrupt with about $7bn in debts. According to a 2018 restructuring plan viewed by the Financial Times, CDB, Eximbank and ICBC are owed about one-third of this amount.
In its 2018 annual report, Huawei suggests that its state-bank partners will bear the brunt of any losses stemming from this exposure. “To transfer risks, Huawei arranges for third-party financial institutions to provide sales financing, such as export credit facilities, leasing and factoring,” the company said. “These institutions bear the associated risks and profit from these operations.”
For the captains of China Inc, it is one thing to bet on the wrong south or south-east Asian politician ahead of an election that they then go on to lose. But it must come as an even greater shock to bet on a tycoon who is then upended by his own brother’s business expansion and forced into a messy and very public bankruptcy proceeding.
That sort of thing never happens back in China, where, when necessary, the Communist party is usually able to work out quiet agreements between state-controlled creditors and state-controlled debtors. Beijing must at least be grateful that Sri Lanka’s Rajapaksa brothers are still getting on famously with each other. |

As I said, it doesn’t make this process EASY, exactly, but it does make it easier: it just takes a few seconds to coat Max’s entire body with it, and, as with the Neutrogena, it dries in quickly enough for me to be able to dress him right away.

Album length: 5 tracks: 15 minutes, 50 seconds
Since putting Thrice on hold, lead vocalist and worship leader Dustin Kensrue has kept rather busy with solo music. Of course, he released a long-awaited second album under his own name last year on BEC Recordings (and recently announced a follow-up album for a Vagrant Records release next year), but he's also done some work as the lead vocalist of a band called The Modern Post. One short EP in 2012 is all we had to go on from this band, but then we got a lovely little surprise in the form of a Modern Post Christmas EP, and it's everything you'd expect from the band.
The Modern Post's Lowborn King EP is a real treat. Not only was it completely out of left field, it's also one of the best Christmas releases of 2014 (despite its short length). Whether you've followed Kensrue since he fronted Thrice or you've just recently been exposed to him as an official player in the Christian market, you can't go wrong with this new EP.

A very similar proposal, “Proposition 61,” was soundly defeated in California last year, and was opposed by more than 100 different health organizations, civic organizations, veterans groups, taxpayer organizations, business groups, and unions. It was also opposed by nearly every major newspaper—liberal, conservative and moderate alike—in the state of California.

A bit more simply, imagine if the government required Starbucks to give a 25% discount to a third of their customers. What would Starbucks likely do? They could refuse to sell coffee to the people who are mandated to get the discount. They could raise the cost of coffee for two-thirds of their customers who don't get the discount. They could just raise the list prices of their coffee entirely so that the 25% discount meant nothing to their overall bottom line. Keep in mind, that under this scenario, all of these premises would apply to pharmacies and prescription drugs. Building on this example, nothing actually lowers the overall price of coffee— just like under Issue 2, nothing actually lowers the overall price of prescription drugs.

Forming African leaders
The first class of adult learners in the Tangaza College/De Paul University program celebrates graduation day at Tangaza in December. (Cyril Papa)
Leaving Nairobi, with its traffic-choked streets, swanky buildings and vast slums, one heads west on Lang'ata Road toward the town of Karen, once the expansive farm of Karen Blixen of Out of Africa fame. There in sight of the Ngong Hills is a "little Vatican": Some 40 religious communities have established residences in the surrounding countryside. Among them one finds a unique experiment in religious education, Tangaza, a constituent college of the nearby Catholic University of Eastern Africa. As Tangaza College's gate swings open, a large statue of Mary, depicted as an African woman, comes into view, symbol of both the Annunciation and the college's motto -- "Tangaza fumbo la imani," or "Proclaim the mystery of faith." In myriad ways Tangaza does exactly that.
Twenty-three years ago Tangaza began as a bold adventure, born of necessity. Three religious congregations pooled faculty and resources in order to take on the education of some 20 students. Today Tangaza has 21 religious congregations as corporate members and enrolls 1,200 students, men and women, religious and lay, mostly Catholics, but with other Christians and a few Muslims among them. This student population includes representatives of most of Kenya's 40-plus ethnic groups and others from Asia, Europe and the rest of the African continent.onAmong Kenya's 36 million people, approximately 80 percent are Christians of one sort of another. Roman Catholics are represented in almost all the major ethnic groups and make up about 26 percent of the population, a similar percentage to that in the United States. Divisions within the country mainly occur not over religion, but ethnic allegiance.
At Tangaza, where unity is emphasized, those divisions tend not to be prominent. When7 and more than 1,000 people were killed and some 600,000 were displaced, Tangaza students returned to the college to create a ritual of healing. A peace pole, festooned with the word peace in multiple languages, was erected. It continues to stand as a sign of their commitment to work to end Kenya's endemic divisions.
Tangaza College prides itself on being creatively responsive to emerging needs, both religious and academic. After several years of planning, in December the college graduated its first class of undergraduate adult learners in a partnership with Chicago's School for New Learning at DePaul University. Limited opportunities for adult education in eastern Africa have a particularly negative impact on Kenya's approximately 2,000 women religious, who historically have served in teaching and health ministries but who now are establishing new ministries for which they need preparation. Additionally, they amplex religious congregations.
In response to the need for expanded forms of education for these women, Tangaza, under the auspicesin partnership with DePaul, created a new program that would offer an undergraduate liberal arts degree with a focus area in leadership and management for adult learners.
On the other hand, Tangaza'sthen under the directorship of Brennan, offered two-year undergraduate diplomas, but recognized the need to further the education of its graduates, all adult learners, many of whom were women religious.
In order to establish their partnership and to garner support for women religious in this tuition-dependent program, DePaul and Tangaza secured a major grant from the Los Angeles-based Conrad Hilton Foundation.

en | N/A | N/A | Other opinions from the GolinHarris survey? Those surveyed thought that the single most important behavior for a corporation to demonstrate was that it "values, treats employees well, fairly." Milwaukee is also a relative stand-out in this category"On a per capita basis, the Milwaukee Region is home to the more 'best companies to work for' than any other region in the nation." In fact, a strategy to recruit talent to our region based on Milwaukee's "worker-friendly advantage" is now underway by local talent attraction and retention group, Fuel Milwaukee.
Of course, this is not to say that Milwaukee corporations can't improve their CSR credentials. A 2004 report by the Public Policy Forum found that the 50 largest Wisconsin companies lagged behind corporations nationwide and in the Midwest with regard to the gender diversity of their corporate leaders. In other words, we have work to do on the gender equity front in Wisconsin and Milwaukee.
Inclusion, environmentalism and social equity are terms that are typically not associated with Milwaukee's corporate climate. Maybe it's time to change how we think and talk about our region's corporate entities.

Pro Quick Draw was dreamt up with a desire to fill the gaps in an existing drawing system, Microsoft Visio. While Visio was originally intended for architects, it became the default choice for football coaches at the highest level of football in the US. Frustrations with lack of tools and time wasted on busy work encouraged NFL Coach (Founder Andy Bischoff) to push technology to improve in his daily routine. Rather than imagining a standalone software, he created a wishlist of features to enhance Visio & PowerPoint geared toward coach workflows. He then found a talented developer who understood football operations, building the beginnings of Pro Quick Draw.
In 2018, Coach Bischoff and his wife Brittany built a small team and began servicing a few NFL clubs who took a leap of faith on the startup. Today, Pro Quick Draw services thousands of high schools, small colleges, FBS teams, Canadian Football League and Universities, European clubs and 26 of 32 NFL franchises. What started as a personal idea for an eager coach turned into a strong product in the playbook market at all levels of the football community.

If you ain't showin' love, then what did you call fo'?

You understand while I'm puffin' on this gram
What you see ain't all of me

It's so simple what I need
You get my fam dawg, look at my niggas
Most days I'm faded, feeling ex-rated
Steady wantin' freaky hoes, then I want a lady
Holdin' the fam down and my close homie
The peoples who were there, when some sucka left me lonely
Phony, when you see a nigga don't approach me
Made it to the top baby, that's on me
However you feel, another real fugazzi
I keep it one hundred, never frontin', don't need be
I'm in another zone, no place for pussy, my nigga

Apple, cardamom and caramel tartlets (vegan)
I’m back! I have been very very busy for a while – I still am to be honest- and it has been very difficult to sit down and write recipes, but I need to find a way to do everything. Maybe at a slow pace but still. This recipe is lovely, it combines apples, cardamom […]
This is one of the most comforting cakes ever. It’s easy to make and delicious and I have already baked it several times because everyone seems to love it.

Last week I went to a friend’s to watch The bird with the Crystal Plumage by Dario Argento. I love Argento and his (first 8) films, they are so thrilling and stylish so I thought I could tribute the 70s masterpiece with a proper tart. It’s a grapefruit-vodka (absolut) -geometric tart and it was so […]

en | N/A | N/A | In all honesty, I was hesitant about reading "No One Ever Asked". Katie Ganshert is very vocal about her views on racism and unfortunately, I disagree with quite a bit of them. So when I learned that this was going to be the topic for this novel, I was skeptical. I'm a huge fan of the authors' other books so I decided it was time to give this one a try and see how she handles the topic. It exceeded my expectations! In fact, this is a keeper for my bookshelf.
T with everyone. It's the perfect novel for book clubs to get those important conversations going. If we're going to fight for equality, then we need to work together to make that happen.
The book is told through three different women's points of views, all going through different things. They all have different opinions and it was neat watching how they all connected. They are raw, vulnerable, transparent, and realistic. Each of their stories is an emotional rollercoaster that will have readers crying, laughing, cheering them on, or getting mad.
This isn't just a story about racism, but a journey of grace, mercy, redemption, and forgiveness. It's a story about how we treat one another with love and kindness. It'sended.
Overall, I enjoyed this. Highly recommended!
Award-winning autho''ve heard a lot about this book and I found your review from your FLF post this week. I am curious about the parts you disagree with in regards to the author's stance on racism. I hope this does not come across in a confrontational way, I just Googled a bit about the author and read some of her posts about the topic, and was curious on your thoughts.
The book is great and I don't think there was anything in it that I disagreed with. I'm not sure how to explain it anAnaya's character in the beginning of the book shows it the best, honestly.
Good to now and thanks for not spoiling anything, I am definitely considering reading this one. I more so meant in reference to what you'd written about the author being vocal in her views and that you disagreed with her on some things.
It's been awhile since I've actually paid attention to her posts so I don't remember. I agree that racism is still an issue, but not in many of the ways that they're complaining about. I've had people pull the race card on me just because they disagreed with me on something. Most of the time it never even has anything to do with the color of their skin. |

en | N/A | N/A | When paramedics come to the rescue, they typically look for vital signs first -- breathing, a pulse. But in more communities each year, paramedics might also be sizing up the patient to see if a bariatric ambulance specially designed to carry severly obese people needs to be called.
"We really think this helps provide dignity to a patient," said Douglas Moore, public relations managerthat operates in 43 states and is the developer of the "bariatric" ambulance used in Topeka's Shawnee County. The company's first bariatric ambulance debuted in 2002, and they have spread across the country ever since.
Obesity activists reacted with disdain to the practice of charging more for use of the new bariatric equipment, especially in a service funded by taxpayers.
"Increasing that rate from $629 to $1,172 is price gouging, and it's targeting a particular group of people," said Barbara Thompson, vice chairman of the Obesity Action Coalition in Tampa, Fla. "It can be looked at no other way than discriminating against them."
Paying for Specialized Obesity Care
"We look at it as an investment in service and quality versus an additional cost that we have to pass off on somebody," said
"It [the change] really has been over the last two years," said Lawler. "It's reflective in regards to what's going in health care and what's going on in health reform."
