There will be plenty of Verizon Galaxy S4 owners a little frustrated with their current smartphone and this is not thanks to the specs, but rather the limitations of software and some of these users would love to convert their Samsung Galaxy S4 to a Google Edition. Today, we have some details on just how to accomplish this and you can see this task performed visually in the above video.
This 4-minute video landed on YouTube within the last 24 hours, so many of our readers have not seen it and the details contained are well liked already by YouTube viewers.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has received a lot of praise since its launch, but some of this support turned sour after existing owners saw Samsung launch different versions of Galaxy S4 that looked more of an improvement on what they purchased. This includes the pure Android version of Samsung Galaxy S4, and some of our readers would prefer a stock Android Galaxy S4 without the bloatware.
Members of the development community have come to the rescue but this involves rooting and flashing your device, and this comes with a number of risks that you need to understand before deciding to undertake this custom Android install. Take a look at the video guide above that quickly explains what’s involved, then share a comment on your love of Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and if you desire a Google Play Edition.

It was the start to a truly great love story. A boy. A girl. A chase through the rain…
I was 19 and running through the pounding rain. The library could be seen through the science buildings about 100 yards away. My legs were getting tired. They had carried me out of my dorm room, down three flights of stairs and across campus in a mad dash.
But I was driven.
You see, there was this boy. He’d been crazy about me for some time, but I was just too slow to see it. A million reasons and excuses blocked my view of the good thing right in front of me. I had dreams and ideals that I stubbornly clung to.
What if I could meet a guy in Italy instead? What if a stranger with a killer accent approached me from across a crowded room? What if my dream job will get replaced by falling in love? What if this is the peak of life – and it’s just all downhill from here? What if this story is really a tragedy?
The soundtrack to my own life was drowned out by my self-doubts. It was safer to fall in love in my head. Things always went my way – I never had a bad hair day or said awkward things on dates. And, of course, he was always charming. Any argument was resolved by the arrival of a large bouquet of my favorite flowers. Love in my imagination always worked out.
Truth be told, I always played it safe in real life. Friendships, goals, career plans, my social life – you name it. Always lived in the realm of my control.
Yet, another life was happening in my mind. I was bold. A vibrant soul who made the witty comments and traveled the borders. A life full of chances and risks that made my heart pound and my mind race. The kind of daring that only comes when you really, truly understand just how much this life holds within it. That was the life I lived in my mind.
And that was the kind of love story I wrote inside my head. One of risk. Of being so in love it didn’t matter what he said back. My tongue just had to utter the words.
I don’t know what exactly came over me during that thunderstorm. I guess God hit me upside the head enough that the narrative burst and exposed the truth in front of me. I liked the boy back. And I had to tell him. Now. I had to tell him right now.
He normally studied in the library at night so I took off across campus to find him. I didn’t have a cell phone at the time, so I went blindly.
Soaked to the bone and out of breath I ran into the library. I know I must have looked a mess, but I didn’t care. I had something to say to a boy. For about 30 minutes I roamed the aisles of books, peeked in the reading cubicles and scanned the study groups. He wasn’t there.
I headed back out into the storm. A smile flashing across my face at the absurdity of it all. Back through the rain to my car. I drove to his house. Knocked on the door. Dripping wet, I stood before him and blurted out “I like you.”.
Next month we will have been married 11 years.
So often we miss the story before us because of a preoccupation with our internal narrative. We have clever conversations with others inside our minds, live daring adventures and feel emotions deep in our bones. So deep it is almost terrifying – but we are safe because it isn’t real. It’s just a fantasy we feed to satisfy the hunger within.
Our hunger for the life we imagine.
It’s time to do and become. It’s time to live the stories we write in our heads. –> click to tweet.
Real life hurts sometimes. Makes you want to curl up on the floor and cry out for some relief. There are years where the failures just seem to keep piling on. The friendships are intertwined with rejection and love has to be fought for day in and day out. Plans crumble before your eyes and our lifelines fray at alarming rates.
But, live we must. Because we are made to do it. Because for every tragic turn there is a persistent Hope that whispers, “It’s gonna get better and I’ll hold you until it does.”.
Go on. Hash out the stories you’ve been writing in your head. Hold the hands of the people who walk beside you. Create the adventures you crave in that nearly forgotten part of your soul. Give grace to yourself and others along the way – you’re gonna need it.
Your history cannot be borrowed. It must be lived.

Jim Ross has a new blog entry available on his official website. In it, he gives the highlight of his WWE year. Below is an excerpt:
Been asked the highlight of my WWE year and without question it was being afforded the opportunity by WWE upper management to broadcast the HIAC bout at WM28 featuring the Undertaker, HHH and @ShawnMichaels. Big time bucket list memory for me and a night that I'll always fondly remember. I'm hopeful that I can call one bout at WM29 just to be a part of the event. Many of us worked some amazing hours over the years to contribute to building this amazing event. When I sit back and see where WrestleMania has come since I made my debut in Vegas at WM9, I am honestly amazed. I see continued use of stadiums for future WrestleMania events and hope that I can be a small part of the proceedings for as long as I'm able. It's our Super Bowl and who wouldn't want to be associated with the biggest event in our profession? Old players still like to play.

Winchester, ancient capital of England and judged best place to live in the UK in 2006!
21 September 2011
The Visitors Centre of Winchester Cathedral has a shop, shown here, and through the doorway is the refectory (cafe/restaurant) and a box office. The shop is open every day and is run by 30 volunteer shop assistants. The visitors centre was opened by the Queen in 1993.

Freelancing can be a lonely business, which for some is its appeal. But what if you're more of a sociable soul?
If you need the buzz of an office and regular chats around the water cooler then you could be better off leaving your spare room behind and moving into a co-working space. These flexible, shared workspaces, used by loose collections of small businesses and independents, are becoming increasingly popular. According to DeskMag, which conducts an annual "Global Coworking Survey", the number of locations has grown by 83% worldwide over the past year, and the number of users by 117%.
Co-working offers all the advantages of working in an office, while allowing you to operate on your own. You get desk space, Wi-Fi, kitchen facilities and so on, and there is the opportunity to mingle and network, share ideas and get – and give – advice. And all in return for what could work out to be a relatively small outlay, depending on whether you want a regular spot at a desk or a few hours here and there.
Sarah Corbett, founder of Craftivist Collective, works at Impact Hub, a dedicated co-working space in Westminster, central London. "My background is working for large international development charities, so going from a large open-plan office to being a freelancer was lonely, and I wanted to feel part of a community again," she says.
"It's good to get out of the house and have a place I can go to a few days a week to force me to do my boring but necessary admin work. And it helps with a work-life balance, so when I leave the office I can switch off from work – although it closes at 11pm so sometimes I work very late."
Corbett believes the set-up has helped with clients, whom she meets in the building. "It shows my clients who come in for face-to-face meetings that I am a professional and working in an innovative creative space, which gives them confidence in my work."
Her "office" is run by the Hub, which launched in Islington in 2005 and now has more than 45 locations and 7,000 members on six continents. In Islington, as well as a desk, members can expect to be looked after by "Hub Hosts" who organise events such as "Pitch and Pizza" where members ask for feedback, help or collaboration on their projects; workshops on everything from legal practice to personal development; and weekly networking lunches. Customers can even become member hosts for short periods in order to offset the cost of hiring desk space. Working one day a week as a host will earn you a free Hub 100 tariff, which allows the use of a desk for 100 hours a month, or around 3.5 days a week.
If you are interested in co-working, it's worth shopping around. Prices vary widely depending on your location and the kind of package you're after.
Monthly fees at the Impact Hub Islington, for example, start at £16 for five hours a month, and go up to £319 a month for unlimited use, with 30% off for students and discounts available for start-ups. Outside London, at The Skiff in Brighton, you can buy a £19 one day pass or join and pay from £49 to £119 a month for one to three days a week, while the Cambridge Business Lounge offers everything from four hours for £10 to a monthly pass at £260.
Fees usually cover the desk space and Wi-Fi as a minimum, with other benefits often incurring further charges. At Impact Hub Islington, for example, £5 will buy you unlimited teas and coffees, or you could rent a phone handset for £15 a month plus pay-as-you-go rates for calls. At The Skiff, members can also rent storage space for £20 a month, while £40 a month will buy a set of keys so members can let themselves in at any hour.
But it's not just about price. You'll also need to think about location, services, events and the overall culture of the space. Many co-working spaces have details of current members on their websites, so you can see who you could be working with. This is also a great free marketing space, should you choose to sign up.
For all the advantages of co-working, there are of course downsides. While other people can be a help, they can also be a distraction, and many spaces offering hot desking can get crowded and noisy. Adam Martin, founder of iPhone development agency Red Glasses, used to use co-working spaces, but as his company developed he realised they didn't suit his needs. Now he works mainly from home, communicating with clients and staff online, and meets up occasionally with friends, colleagues or even strangers to work in a group setting at coffee shops and other free Wi-Fi spots such as libraries.
"The co-working I do now tends to be with friends or strangers so we have different clients, different businesses. We do chat a bit and get different perspectives on our own projects, but nobody gets too involved."
If you do sign up for co-working, remember that it is up to you to make the most of it. "I think it's important you see the space as a community and not just a desk and chair," Corbett says. "Use its potential to meet interesting people and help each other out where you can, tidy up after yourself so there's no tension, and use your initiative to make the space more community focused."

Most people’s idea of a vacation is my idea of a nightmare. Where normal humans like to “kick back” and “relax” I like to fill every second of my day with assorted activities and explorations. The stuff I like to do almost always involves some level of physical exertion including but not limited to miles and miles of walking, bike rentals and scaling large natural or manmade structures. In short, it is best for me to just travel alone.
Since no one in my family subscribes to my definition of vacation, I follow a “can’t beat ’em, join ’em” attitude on the road these days. So here’s a look at our fully un-action-packed weekend on Isle of Palms.
[Soysage and watermelon. So summer. | Pool, yes. | It is not hot enough to fry and egg. We tried. | CHS. | My niece. | One day I want to run this bridge. | Baby girl.]

Sir Alex Ferguson's comments that he expects a deal to go through for Berbatov have infuriated Spurs as has Rafael Benitez's interest in Keane.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy singled out United boss Ferguson for criticism.
"The behaviour of both clubs has been disgraceful. We told both clubs very early on that we had no interest in selling Robbie or Dimitar, respectively, and that they should refrain from pursuing the player.
"Both clubs arrogantly chose to ignore this request and we now have evidence that both clubs have systematically been working to prise the players away from us, outside of Premier League rules of conduct."
Ferguson announced on Friday that United had made Tottenham an offer for 27-year-old Berbatov and that he was confident that the deal would go through.
Benitez admitted earlier this month that he was interested in bringing Keane, 28, to Anfield this summer.
But it was Ferguson's comments that prompted Levy to speak out about the attempts to unsettle his strikers.
"Today's public comments by Manchester United's manager, announcing that he has made an offer for Dimitar and is confident that the deal will go through with time working in their favour, is a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players.
"It is also probably one of the worst offences by any manager in the Premier League to date
"As a result, we have today made an official complaint to the Premier League about the conduct of Manchester United.
"Benitez made similar comments in respect of Robbie recently and we made an official complaint to the Premier League about the conduct of Liverpool earlier this week.
"I have absolutely no wish to sell either player and to date we have not accepted any offer for either."
The Premier League confirmed they had received Tottenham's official complaints in relation to breaches of the Premier League rules K3 and K8.
The next step will see the Premier League board write to all parties before deciding whether to take further action.
United issued a brief response to Tottenham's claims with a spokesman saying: "We are aware of the allegation and will co-operate with the Premier League as necessary."

DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- McKinney has been honored with the 2012 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility for its use of flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase business and employee success.
This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project administered by the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management, recognizes employers of all sizes and types in North Carolina and across the country.
"This makes four Alfred P. Sloan Awards for an agency that uses flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase business and employee success," said a proud Lea Daughtridge Wharton, director of Talent Management at McKinney. "We are thrilled to be honored once again and are committed to keeping McKinney a place where our employees feel they can have a great quality of life and do the best work of their careers."
Workplace flexibility — such as flextime, part-time work and compressed workweeks — has been demonstrated to help businesses remain competitive while also benefiting employees.
"Our research consistently finds that employees in effective and flexible workplaces have greater engagement on the job and greater desire to stay with their organization. In addition, they report lower stress levels and better overall health," said Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute.
The Sloan Awards are unique for their rigorous two-step selection process, which involves an evaluation of employers' flexibility programs and practices, and a confidential employee survey. All applicants are measured against national norms from the National Study of Employers.
"As a recipient of the 2012 Sloan Award, McKinney ranks in the top 20% of employers nationally in terms of its programs, policies and culture for creating an effective and flexible workplace," Galinsky said. "In addition, what makes this honor so special is that their employees have corroborated this, affirming that it is indeed an effective and flexible workplace."
When Work Works is a national project to educate the business community on the value of workplace flexibility by sharing research and promising practices, and by conducting the annual Sloan Awards. It is an ongoing initiative of the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management.

O Beautiful Electrical Box
March 8, 2014
Intentional camera movement (ICM) isn’t only for trees. This is an electrical box having something to do with the traffic lights at the corner of Mound and Orange, in Sarasota. I took it during my December long way home from farmer’s market. Again, it’s the early morning light that does the trick. As I’ve written in previous posts, I struggle to find meaning in photographs I take with ICM. Yesterday I may have begun to unravel their significance for me. The ratio of ICM keepers to discarders is very low. When an ICM photo works out for me, it’s a lovely surprise. And that’s the biggest part of why I like doing ICM. The thrill is in the process: the surprise part, the not-being-totally-in-control part that still results in something I like to look at. I’ve long admired others’ art that shows elements of spontaneity but have found it difficult or impossible to incorporate spontaneity into my own work. Until recently.

It’s always good to see the positives in any situation. Where would we be as a society if the world was just a big cloud of negativity? Once you reach forty it can feel like the beginning of the end, but trust us, it’s not. Forty is the new twenty, after all, and if you really want to do that statement justice, keep reading.
Male menopause, commonly known as manopause, happens to men starting usually around 40 years old to 50. Don’t get it confused with female menopause, men don’t experience the same hormonal drop as women. Manopause is essentially just a decline of testosterone. Once a guy turns about 30, his testosterone drops by 1% every year, although if you eat crappy foods (resulting in obesity), you can actually speed up the process…so start eating kale and other green stuff.
The funny thing is that their are guys with a fire in their belly who try to control their manopause with prescription drugs, but why?
Ultimately the symptoms of manopause are: fatigue, decreased muscle mass, increased body fat, strength reductions, cognitive decline, disinterest in exercise and sex and mood disorders, which will probably just result in you getting comfy on the sofa with a bag of flaming hot cheetos watching Netflix for God knows how long. Does it really sound that bad?
Between a midlife crisis and male menopause, we’re looking forward to the latter. Imagine yourself at age 50, pulling up to a nightclub in a red sports car, making a drunken fool out of yourself while dancing with girls young enough to be your daughter. Now picture yourself all cozy on that couch, wrapped in a blanket with one hand free to grab those cheetos.
Leave the stumbling around to the kids.

TO PROMOTE the practice of bee-keeping among the masses, city-based Central Bee Research and Training Institute (CBRTI) will be distributing as many as 600 bee boxes to its former trainees for free.
The CBRTI, along with the Directorate of Forest Based Industries — working under the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) — have been working towards the implementation of the ‘Honey Mission’. In August last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made a clarion call to increase farmers’ incomes by improving the production of honey through increased bee-keeping activities.
CBRTI Director R K Singh told The Indian Express, “Along with the bee boxes, we will provide other accessories necessary — hand gloves, mask, coat, among others — meant for bee keeping. Our initial target is to reach out to our former trainees who can boost in their existing business in honey generation.” “The distribution chain would then be forwarded to anybody willing to take up the activity, for which we will hold training,” he added.
Every state has identified a Bee Keeping Extension Centre, which will be responsible for dissemination of bee boxes after the bee keepers have been identified.
A total budget of Rs 6 crore has been allocated for training 1,500 farmers and those hailing from 21 selected states. As part of the project, as many as 15,000 bee boxes will be distributed.
As of now, 15 states, including Maharashtra, Jammu Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Andhra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, have been roped in for the mission.
Last year, nearly 8,500 people from 20 states were trained in bee keeping.
The pilot project under this mission was launched in Banaskantha in Gujarat, where 110 boxes were distributed among 79 farmers, while 50 other farmers were trained in honey collection.
As per the KVIC, there are three categories — most potential, medium potential and less potential states — under which Indian states have been placed. This has been done as per the favourable flora and weather conditions.
Some of the most potent states for honey processing would include Punjab, West Bengal, Bihar, Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Uttaranchal.

As I have mentioned in my previous post, buying furniture is a big investment. It involves a huge sum so you need to make a wise choice. Identifying the kind of furniture that you need and its features are not enough. You also need to consider which store to buy it, too.
Today, buying furniture is much easier because of technology. Modern furniture stores are abundant and you can easily choose where to buy the item. However, picking the first furniture store you saw on the Net does not mean buying the furniture there. You still should check a few things about the furniture store.
Factors to Look For When Choosing a Modern Furniture Store
Listed below are the important factors to check when choosing a modern furniture store.
A good reputation is essential. A business that has existed for a long time is a good sign that it is reliable and has a superb customer service. Find a store that has accommodating sales staff who would make you feel comfortable upon entering their showroom. It is always a good feeling to have someone who can assist you in picking the sofa that will work well with your living room theme.
It is important that the sales staff be able to answer any questions you may have. It makes a big difference going to a furniture store whose staff allows you to pick the item you want. They would guide with your choice by stating the features and answering any questions you may have. I am sure you feel awkward going to a store whose staff push a certain piece without even asking what it is that you really want. Remember your list and start checking which of those you see fits the features in the list.
First, you need to clarify if delivery is free or not. Some furniture stores offer free delivery depending on the amount of the item, free delivery to certain areas, or completely free delivery.
Certain factors can affect delivery so it is unavoidable to have delays. However, you do not want to have a store who sets a specific date and time of delivery and encountered delays but would not inform you about it. So make sure to choose a furniture store that outlines their delivery procedure, as well as when encountering delivery delays.
Another thing about delivery that you need to check is what happens if the furniture has some problems or cracks. A respectable furniture store would usually have the item replaced without cost to you.
The return policy works with delivery. What happens if you received the item with cracks or it lacks some accessories like pulls for drawers, missing accents, etc.
This is an important factor because it serves as your security. Read the warranty to know the extent, what and the duration of the warranty. Make sure you understand it well.
The above factors are the most important factors to look for when choosing a furniture store. Finding the best store to buy your item is definitely important. You can ask your friends, co-workers, relatives for suggestions although you may know one. Suggestions from these people will not hurt you anyway.
We know that furniture, although it is huge, is now available online. How do you about choosing an online modern furniture store? Watch out for my next post for tips!

Deloitte and SAS join forces to help firms tackle the burdens of risk calculation and reporting
The level and complexity of prudential regulation continues to make the design and maintenance of high quality and compliant regulatory processes an increasing challenge. Banks, building societies and other lenders must meet a growing list of requirements relating to risk model management, calculation and reporting for capital planning, impairment and liquidity. Combining new technology and a managed service operating model gives these organisations the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale and to mutualise the costs of regulatory compliance across the industry.
A new alliance with new ways of calculating and reporting risk
Deloitte and SAS are collaborating under a recently signed Managed Analytics Service Provider (MASP) agreement to offer “Risk Calculation and Reporting” as a managed risk service delivered via a cloud-based technology platform. This collaboration brings together advanced analytical software with Deloitte’s specialist services in Financial Risk Measurement and Managed Risk Services, to offer an integrated, highly automated and auditable processes.
"The Managed Risk Service is a more agile approach that is structured to benefit our clients by removing the need for extensive investment in staff training and delivery costs associated with the implementation of an on-premises solution, reducing ongoing costs and enhancing business agility. This technology has great potential, which we aim to allow our clients to benefit from," said Hugo Morris, Head of Deloitte’s Managed Risk Services.
Four interrelated modules are being offered to banks, building societies and other lenders, which delivers calculation and reporting outcomes as a service across:
- IFRS 9 impairment: The new IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Standard requires compliant and consistent impairment calculations (at an account and aggregated level) based on Expected Credit Loss models and expert credit judgement.
- Capital: The new and changing Basel requirements require firms to calculate, consolidate and report Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 Capital on a controlled basis, whilst having the flexibility to quickly assess business impacts.
- Stress Testing: The increased use of stress testing as an instrument for regulators to assess the flexibility and strength of financial institutions is forcing firms to deliver enhanced processes and reporting in order to embed analysis in management decision making.
- Liquidity: The fast-changing liquidity regulatory reporting requirements have increasing complexity and require a quality-assured, highly controlled process.
Deloitte was recently named the 2018 SAS Global Partner of the Year and 2018 SAS Sub-regional UKI Partner of the Year. As a 14-year SAS Platinum Partner with Risk Specialisation and Analytics Competency, Deloitte has the depth and breadth of expertise to maximize the use of the risk technology for these services.
The agreement is a key breakthrough for banks, building societies and other lenders in North West Europe, providing more accessible and more flexible opportunities to complete regulatory analytics, risk measurement and compliance reporting," said Rob Spee Director, SAS Global Channels.
Julian Leake, Head of Deloitte’s Financial Services Risk Advisory in North West Europe:
"We recognise that with increased regulatory expectations and emergent technologies, the future of risk management will look dramatically different from which many are familiar with and current risk frameworks are set up for. This Managed Risk Service brings the benefits of this cutting edge technology to a much broader population of banks, building societies and other lenders. This will enhance risk management and ultimately, deliver stronger competition and greater stability in the long term."

Series Shaping up to
be a Good One
The Avalanche will host the Wild on Saturday at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado with the opening face-off slated for 9:35 PM ET. This will be Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals best-of-7 series in which Colorado holds a 1-0 lead. According to my projected NHL betting odds Colorado will be a -140 money line home favorite and the posted total will be 5.0. Te game will be televised nationally in the United States on the NBC Sports Network.
Series Opening Loss for the Wild
The Minnesota Wild definitely let an excellent opportunity slip away from them in Game 1 of the series. They entered the 3rd period with a 4-2 lead and were seemingly in control of the game. They had their lead cut to 4-3 early in the final stanza, and then they were stunned by a game tying goal from the Avalanche with just 0:14 remaining in the 3rd period. The meltdown was complete when Colorado scored the game winner 7:27 into overtime. They now have to regroup by putting that devastating loss behind them, and focus on gaining a road split with a win in Game 2 of the series. Minnesota can take solace in knowing they’ve won their last 5-games in a row when playing with exactly 1-day of rest. The Wild have now gone over the total in their last 4-games, and have seen just 2 of their previous 11 road games stay under the total.
Stealing a Win and Momentum
The young Colorado Avalanche was able to capture a dramatic win in their opening game of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs. They overcame a 3rd period deficit and were led by the late game heroics of center Paul Stasny to pull out an improbable win. Stasny was able to not only score the game tying goal in the final seconds of regulation time, but also scored the overtime game winner as well. The task at hand for the Avalanche will be to take the momentum established with such an emotional win, and carry that into Game 2 of the series on Saturday evening. Colorado has now defeated Minnesota in 5 of their last 6 meetings, and has won 11 of their last 13 versus Central Division opponents.
The Wild will be hard pressed to recover from their disappointing Game 1 defeat, especially having to play on enemy ice where they’ve struggled at times this season. As far as the Colorado Avalanche are concerned, they received just what the doctor ordered in the way of a boost in confidence, and the energy of the home crowd will make them a very difficult opponent on Saturday.
Free Pick: Colorado -140 over Minnesota

Divrei Torah & assorted musings on life.
Without a doubt! I let our son listen to the 2nd video while he was building his train set this afternoon and he nearly jumped out of his pants when the bachorim sang Shabechi. What a treat.
The Chasidim are far more organized. I was shocked when I went to a Satmar wedding and the dancing was so organized (they actually practice dancing at other times) as opposed to a yeshivish wedding where the bochrim are just bouncing off each other.

Responsibility of mining – complex, challenging, and no shortcuts
Mining is a growing business in Finland. We are not alone. Increasing global demand for metals and minerals is creating opportunities and positive societal effects, such as stimulating the economy and employment. However, mining inevitably has environmental and social impacts. How can they be managed and maintained at an acceptable level? The evident solution is adopting an integrated approach to corporate responsibility.
These topics were discussed recently in a seminar arranged by Finnish Business & Society (FiBS) and Gaia in Helsinki, Finland. During the seminar, we heard insights from top experts in the field including Mikko Halonen from Gaia, Pekka Suomela from the Ministry of Employment and the Economy, Rauno Sairinen from the University of Eastern Finland, Casper Herler from Borenius, EevaRuokonen from Talvivaara mining company, Joanna Kuntonen-van't Riet from Northland Resources and Seija Säynevirta from Nokia.
A crucial issue that was raised is the complexity of the mining and metals value chain all the way from the mine up until the end consumer covering various processing steps, product streams and associated technology and services. It involves many operations where raw material traceability is challenging. An additional flavor to the overall complexity comes from the long life span of mining operations and large scale investments. The responsibility challenges in the exploration phase, project development and process ramp-up are very different from the challenges of the mine closure and subsequent use of the land. All operations are capital intensive and risky. An integrated approach to corporate responsibility also provides an effective means to reduce risks.
conflicts in Central Asia were discussed together
with lessons learnt from domestic experiences of Talvivaara. The benefits of
having a social license to operate
are obvious: fulfilling expectations and responsibilities towards stakeholders.
However, this license to operate also makes it easier to handle permits and
manage the development of the business. In addition, it makes it easier for a
company to withstand criticism.
Social aspects are considered equal to environmental issues, for example, in The Equator Principles that offer guidance for investors’ decision making. Yet compared to societal risks, environmental issues are, to some degree, much more regulated, easier to define, and easier to manage due to the abundance of expertise available in the field. In the context of the mining industry, the importance of a social license to operate is highlighted by the sheer scale of projects and the promises they make coupled with long project lead times. This makes it more challenging to manage changes and expectations.
The ultimate aim is to find solutions that benefit all stakeholders. It can realistically be questioned whether this is even possible to achieve especially given, for example, the inevitable political interest that mining projects attract. The discussions during the seminar and Gaia’s experiences in Central Asia underline the use of participatory methods in achieving outcomes that consider a wide range of stakeholder views. This also requires an ongoing process of interaction to make sure that stakeholders are provided with timely information and changes in expectations can be managed.
An integrated approach to corporate responsibility requires companies to work together with their suppliers and to consider the impacts of the full value chain. It requires cooperation within the industry supported by experts in the field. Other stakeholders, such as local communities, must also be involved, and here participatory methods result in the most beneficial outcomes. Together, these efforts will help achieve the needed social license to operate. Once this license has been achieved, impacts of the operations and changes must be managed carefully, because once this licence is lost, it can be costly to regain stakeholders’ trust.
Environmental problems related to mining have
received a lot of publicity in Finland. Improvement to corporate responsibility and public
image will require systematic and
long-term concrete work to reduce environmental impacts, openness to real
engagement with stakeholders as well as disciplined work to implement and
monitor responsibility strategies with measurable impacts.

Julia Illman works at Gaia as an expert in corporate responsibility, carbon footprinting and lifecycle analyses as well as risk management. Gaia offers a wide range of innovative solutions for sustainability in the area of corporate responsibility of mining sector.

From Fear to Faith
Hand painted mandala 20"x 24" acrylic, mixed medium, gold leafing and Swarovski crystals. I created this mandala when I was struggling with fear. I meditated and asked for an image that would support me in relaxing into a space of peace and faith. I saw a midnight blue sky and an image of an orange lotus emerge. It immediately brought a sense of safety within myself. My life completely transformed in miraculous ways as I created this image.

The legal minimum tread depth for a motorcycle tyre is 1mm around the whole circumference whilst for a car it is 1.6mm. This confuses many people as they think it is the same for both.

Should tyres be replaced at 3mm?
One of the key conclusions of the research was: “Replace your tyres soon after the tread depth reaches 3mm. Always change them once the tread has worn down to 2mm or less at any point.” Several vehicle manufacturers also recommend 3mm as the standard changeover point.
What happens if you don’t balance a motorcycle tire?
You will feel an unusual vibration at a certain speed when tires are out of balance. The vibrations are noticeable. Imbalance begins with uneven weight on the rim of the wheel or tire. … Tires will also show an uneven and faster tread wear.
What weight should I balance my motorcycle tires?
I usually use no more than 1 to 1.5 gms To balance a tire on rim.
Why do motorcycle handlebars have weights?
The reasons why motorcycles have bar-end weights comes down to the rider’s comfort and safety. With the factors of balancing and fall prevention of the motorcycles coming into play to add bar end weights.

"Hello, this is New York calling." The words, in Russian, hit Russian airwaves on Feb. 17, 1947 — the first Russian broadcast of the Voice of America.
The broadcasts were an integral part of the United States' propaganda campaign against the Soviet Union, which was seen as the new threat once World War II was over in 1945.
VOA, which began during the war as a way to convey American news and policies to occupied areas, told its Russian listeners it was meant to "give listeners in the USSR a picture of life in America." Like its other services, VOA's Russian service meant to give its audience the "pure and unadulterated truth" about life beyond Soviet borders.
News, music, human interest
The first programs contained a mix of news, music and human interest stories, with programs skewing more and more toward music, particularly jazz, a distinctly American musical innovation that gained considerable popularity in Russia and elsewhere overseas.
VOA broadcasts by jazz expert Willis Conover, known as Voice of America Jazz Hour, were especially popular. Conover also helped produce jazz concerts at the White House and is credited with helping to desegregate Washington, D.C., jazz clubs.
But the Soviet government fought back. In April 1947, just over two months after the broadcasts started, the Soviets began jamming the radio signal electronically.
Critics of VOA complained that the signal interference made it very difficult to gauge the effectiveness of the American broadcasts.
Elez Biberaj, chief of VOA's Eurasia division, said the Soviet efforts to block VOA's influence went even farther than that.
"Russians caught listening to VOA faced various forms of punishment, including imprisonment," Biberaj said.
Regardless, defectors from the Soviet Union, as well as Western embassies in Moscow and travelers who visited the area, reported that the VOA broadcasts were well-received by their Russian audience.
"For decades," Biberaj said, "VOA served as an outlet for Russian dissent and provided an alternative source for the flow of information and ideas, helped discredit the official Communist propaganda, and encouraged democratic elements. There is ample evidence that demonstrates the impact of VOA's Russian broadcasts and the important role that these broadcasts played in the demise of Communism."
VOA continued to play an important role in the region after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Biberaj said while Russia made significant progress on the road to democracy in the 1990s, it has since slid backward with media largely under state control, and the suspicious deaths of journalists and human rights activists.
"The lack of truly alternative voices in the media has had serious consequences for the democratization of the Russian society," Biberaj said. "And it is here that VOA comes into play, filling an important vacuum by serving as an alternative voice and meeting the audience's informational needs."
In 2008, VOA was denied placement on Russia's media outlets, so the online service was expanded. It now reaches its Russian-speaking audience with video streaming, social media products, expert blogs, and user-generated content and feedback. In addition to that, Biberaj said, VOA increased its Russian-language television programming.
As a result, VOA's Russian service now reaches 3.1 percent of Russian adults each week, and the number of adults who consider VOA's content "trustworthy" grew from 56 percent in 2015 to 65 percent in 2016. Last year VOA's Russian website registered nearly 15 million visits.
"The Russian service debunks the Kremlin's strident anti-American propaganda with fact-based content; offers in-depth coverage of issues vital to U.S. national interests; gives an accurate and comprehensive portrait of America and its policies and institutions; and targets potential change agents in Russia," Biberaj said.
Those agents include "opposition figures, business leaders with a strong stake in integrating Russia into the global economy," he said, "and the many Russians — now largely silent — who favor putting Russia back on a path that embraces democracy, civil society, and rule of law, and respect for human rights."

Chemical supply chains transforming from push to pull
Supply Chain Management finally takes over from Manufacturing!
Being in supply chain management positions in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry for over 15 years, I’ve met with Peter Devos, Managing Director of the European Chemical Transport Association (ECTA) who also has large experience in the chemical industry. We’ve had an interesting discussion on supply chain developments in that industry.
We’ve both seen huge developments in the past 10 years, not at least because the ever-increasing digitalization has become a key driver for globalization and creates an enormous opportunity to better balance supply and demand, to increase ‘end to end’ visibility in the supply chain and to explore more logistics collaboration between partners and customers.
Chemical industry : asset driven from nature
The chemical industry historically is very much asset-drivendue to the high capital investments. The power and the siloed organizational structure of manufacturing organizations in large chemical companies therefore traditionally is large and had often blocked integrated supply chain thinking and implementation of proper Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) methodologies for long time. The high capital intensity after all drives the need to maximize capacity utilization and to minimize costs of goods sold, so the supply chain model is very much push driven. As indicated by CEFIC (The European Chemical Industry Council) the capacity utilization in the chemical industry has a long-term average slightly above 80%.
From local to global S&OP…and to Integrated Business Planning
Although S&OP thinking is there for many years, it often has stayed at rather local levels. To implement global S&OP’s, cross-organizational (global) ERP systems and associated (advanced) planning systems are needed and quite often this is not the case. The increasing digitalization and the speed of having the necessary data available to perform global S&OP going along with it, is changing the supply chain thinking in companies from push to pull. The latest systems even have real time data available to steer business decisions at all levels in the organization. As an example, I’ve implemented full visibility of marine transport together with a global freight forwarder not too long ago, enabling us to get marine cargo data (ETD, ETA, ATA etc.) directly into our ERP system. This was a big step forward in controlling (improving!) customer service levelsat global scale. Supply chain dashboards have benefited from this and are becoming highly advanced. Integrated business planning is the talk of the day in many large companies these days!
Customer responsiveness has increased enormously and therefore companies’ ability to react quickly on market needs and developments as well. As Darwin stated: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, it is the one that is most adaptable to change”. With increased responsiveness capabilities, companies become more agile and they feel the need to in this quickly changing world.
Enabling global production capacities…what are the effects?
When companies are moving to global S&OP’s, the effects on individual plants and employees are huge and should not to be underestimated. Plants are being transformed to flexible “swing plants” to fulfill the global demand. Local for local production becomes less important and “global for local” is the new planning norm, taking into account global capacity, global energy and manufacturing costs and global customer demand. The capacity of a plant cannot be seen on its own any longer and someone should give direction on how to utilize the sum of all plant capacities in the company. And there we go… supply chain departments get the ever-wanted independent leading role in companies, because they own the planning and are the ones having the global overview! Thus, planning decisions become more centralized. Again, the continuously improving IT tools do support this more complex decision making process.
Demand driven supply chains .. and what should manufacturing do?
Having said so, this also changes the historical dominant role of the manufacturing organization. A proper S&OP process is very much demand driven, and hence production needs to follow customer demand rather than being utilized to the max: the supply chain model changed from push to pull!
The effects are high: in favor of the global picture, plants no longer are fully loaded. Manufacturing should learn how to run a plant most efficiently, for example at only 60%, and this is very new to them.
- Is there sufficient knowledge to run plants efficiently at rather low utilization rates?
- What is the effect on the workforce?
- Does this mean companies must start thinking about increasing their flexible workforce base?
- Is that possible at all for such a knowledge intensive industry like chemicals?
For sure in the coming years, companies do need to think about their culture and people management skills (and this for sure strongly influences talent management), and this might create a new (r)evolution!

In space, no one can hear you scream—and no one can see the monsters assaulting you from the inside out.
Unlike the highly obvious chest-bursting Xenomorphs in Alien, mutant microbes are a grim reality for astronauts and whatever they bring back to Earth.
Microgravity is thought to be the culprit behind such micro-monstrosities. Exposure to the near-absence of gravity that makes astronauts almost weightless outside the Earth’s atmosphere also warps the DNA of bacteria like e.coli and salmonella. Another bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (as if that name alone isn’t nightmarish enough), mutates like a Shoggoth in space. At least 12 different mutations were identified in a study recently published in NJP Microgravity.
Even more Lovecraftian is how these things breed. Space must provide some sort of supercharged environment, because the microbes multiply at warp speed and level up their strength when spawning in microgravity. How exactly bacterial superpowers emerge from the lack of gravity is not yet clear to scientists. Whether the mutations are significant individually or somehow conspiring boosting the bacteria’s advantage is also still murky. What we do know is that they accumulate into an infectious ooze called biofilm, aka the ultimate biohazard, with increased biomass and a menacing “column-and-canopy” structure that has never seen through any microscope on Earth.
Now for the really scary science. Experiments have proven that reintroducing the space versions of these Monsters Inside Me stars to unaffected strains will embed the mutations into multi-generational genes. Biologist Madhan Tirumalai led a research team that investigated the permanent changes transferred from generation to generation by simulating an environment with nearly zero gravity for them to be exposed to as they multiplied. 1,000 generations later, they were reintroduced to an unaffected colony. Genetic analysis on the mutated e.coli revealed at least sixteen permanent mutations.
Astronauts on extended missions are at the most risk, because you just can’t know what hitched a ride with you on your rocket and is mutating out of sight. If they bring back anything that isn’t—or can’t be—disinfected with the wrath of a thousand suns, then the atrocities could end up crawling onto our planet. The more resistant bacteria are a serious potential health threat to the spacebound and earthbound alike. At least these monstrous microorganisms aren’t indestructible when attacked by antibiotics. Yet.

There is no evidence linking autism to planned violence, but in recent years, mass shootings by young men have led commentators in the mainstream media and on the Internet to suggest such a connection. After the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre, for instance, news reports said that the shooter was on the spectrum. The speculation made little sense to anyone who understood autism. Whereas autistic people have language delays and deficits, the killer had learned English as a second language — and learned it well enough to major in the subject in college. Later on, it turned out that he had an entirely different problem, a social anxiety disorder. Adam Lanza, who committed the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, may have had an Asperger’s diagnosis, but his father emphasized that his behavior stemmed from the psychiatric illnesses that he also had.Nevertheless, the media speculated about Lanza’s place on the spectrum, which worried autism parents. One mother of an autistic child wrote: “This is the first time I'm truly afraid for him. Afraid of what may happen to my son with autism at the hands of a stranger; a stranger who has chosen to buy into the media-fueled misinformation that individuals diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder are dangerous and capable of horrendous acts of terror and violence.”
The New York Times reports on the Oregon shooter's mother, Laurel Harper.
In addition to talking about guns, Ms. Harper, 64, was a prolific commenter in online forums dealing with medical issues, frequently answering questions from strangers with a tone of empathy and concern. She expressed having expertise in autism, saying that both she and her son — whom she never identified by name — had Asperger’s syndrome.
Consoling another parent seeking help with disruptive behavior by an autistic child, Ms. Harper said that her own son “was, among other things, a head-banger” when he was younger and was initially given a misdiagnosis of attention deficit disorder. But over time, he had learned to cope and was doing better, she wrote: “I was in your shoes and now my son’s in college.”
She expressed frustration with people who questioned how successful a person with autism could be, noting: “I have Asperger’s and I didn’t do so bad. Wasn’t easy (understatement) but it can be done.” She also said she had “dealt with it on a daily basis for years and years” because of her son, who she said was progressing well.
“He’s no babbling idiot nor is his life worthless,” Ms. Harper wrote. “He’s very intelligent and is working on a career in filmmaking. My 18 years worth of experience with and knowledge about Asperger’s syndrome is paying off.”CNN has an important caveat:
Autism spectrum disorders can cause significant social impairments, communication problems and restricted, repetitive behavior patterns. But studies have shown there is no direct link between Asperger's and violence. The question was also raised three years ago, after Adam Lanza, who was said to have Asperger's, killed 26 children and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.In this case, note that we do not know whether the shooter or his mother actually had a medical diagnosis of Asperger.

Changes in fundraising and deadlines!
As it happens in New Orleans, resources are limited and often the same people you work with are working on something else that needs a lot of time and effort- and so we are postponing the cheap art auction and purely local fundraising events in favor of applying for kickstarter for the end of February.
We might have a bbq in March, anyway…..
This all means that if you wish to be considered for any kind of grant- from travel expense to materials- we will need to know by February 18, as we must raise the bulk of our budget as early as possible. We’re working with individuals now to create our projected money needs- we will try to stay flexible in the coming months, but it’s better to talk to us early.
Especially if you want to come to New Orleans – we’re coordinating travel groups for sharing road and shipping expenses.
Money! We will need it! It’s a lot of fun raising it and giving it away! We love handing money over to artists to help them with their projects! Our priority again starts with grants for local artists and covering basic show expenses, like space rental, and moves out from there. More on all that very soon. Proposal deadline is still Sept. 1 but we have a lot of leeway in Automata for last minute projects- don’t hesitate to contact us.
Other news: the 2012 Artists list is begun- please refer to the list of pages at the left of the home page.
Also, h/t Dug North: this is Wunderland!

Faces Of NPR is a weekly feature that showcases the people behind NPR, from the voices you hear every day on the radio to the ones who work outside of the recording studio. You'll find out about what they do and what inspires them. This week's post features NPR's N'Jeri Eaton.
Name: N'Jeri Eaton
Job Title: Senior Manager of Programming Acquisitions
Where You're From: Many places but I lived in Oakland, CA the longest so I claim it as my home.
Twitter Handle: @njerieaton
An Inside Look
How did you get started here? What advice do you have for someone who wants a job like yours?
I was actually recommended for this job by Tasneem Raja, a former editor of Code Switch.
Before coming to NPR, I worked in public television. My previous job was as the content development manager for a documentary film funder. And while my experience was limited to public television, it actually wasn't that hard to transition into public radio. For a job like mine, you need to have a nose for strong content, be a good multitasker, and be unafraid to speak your mind. I've always been more interested in supporting multiple storytellers at a time rather than working on my own projects. So you have to be the kind of person who wants to stay out of the spotlight and champion the work of others.
We heard you're involved with Story Lab. Can you tell us a little more about it?
The NPR Story Lab is a true creative studio with the goal of fostering experimentation and evolving the sound of public radio. We have folks representing News, Programming, NPR Training, Visuals, and NPR One on the team. This allows us to holistically look at the projects that are coming in—both internally and externally—and make decisions about how to make them stronger, what the right platform is, and how the projects fit with our priorities and content pipeline.
What are some cool things you're working on now?
I'm very lucky because I get to work on cool projects all of the time. I'm currently developing three podcast pilots and we're gearing up for the third Story Lab Workshop.
If you had your own podcast, what would it be about and why?
I would have a podcast where adult guests discuss their favorite books from childhood and then introduce them to the children in their lives. The books that I loved in childhood definitely helped to form my worldview and shaped my values in really unexpected ways. I think it could lead to some interesting discussions.
We hear you're going to NPR West! Why trade coasts?
Up until last year, I spent the last twelve years in Oakland, California. So I don't think about it as much as trading coasts, but as coming home. More importantly, the move will help to establish a Programming presence at NPR West. I hope that it leads to developing more projects with folks based in that office. And because Los Angeles is a hub of creativity, relocating there will help us as we continue to develop new entertainment shows.
Are there any places/things you'll miss the most about Washington D.C.?
I'll miss my family the most but second on that list is the National Gallery of Art East Building.
Books on N'Jeri's desk.
Books on N'Jeri's desk.
What's on your desk?
A Golden Gate Bridge snow globe (but it looks like Karl the Fog instead of snow), a framed picture of my dog godson, and a picture of a private beach in Greece that represents #VacationGoals.
N'Jeri's dog godson
First thing you do when you get to the office?
I check out what's for breakfast at Sound Bites Cafe to decide if I should ditch what I brought from home.
What is your favorite food?
Ramen. I could eat it every single day. And I make a pretty good pork broth too.
Favorite Tiny Desk?
It's so hard to choose, but it would be a tie between Ibeyi (video coming soon) and William Bell.
Do you have a guilty pleasure?
Reality shows on Bravo, the Real Housewives franchises in particular. Don't judge me!
What is your favorite thing about working at NPR?
My colleagues are my favorite thing about NPR. I'm constantly amazed by how smart and dedicated everyone is here. It gives me bursts of optimism throughout the day.

ABHMS Board Renews Commitment to Missionary Commissioning
VALLEY FORGE, PA (ABNS 11/1/12)—At its meeting in October, the Board of Directors of American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) unanimously affirmed a motion to reinstate the commissioning of home missionaries and heard about the organization’s 2013 strategic ministry plans from Executive Director Dr. Aidsand F. Wright-Riggins III.
The motion to reinstate home missionary commissioning was based on ABHMS history: One of its earliest mission societies was founded to preach the gospel, establish churches and minister among the destitute. Wright-Riggins said that ABHMS stands committed to bringing God’s Good News on today’s frontiers to new generations seeking God’s healing grace and truth. The new configuration of the American Baptist Churches USA board, Wright-Riggins said, necessitates that ABHMS establish its own commissioning process. Details about the new process will be available shortly at www.abhms.org.
The Rev. Garth Brokaw, a director, said the motion regarding this “dynamic program” was significant. “This is tied to our roots,” he said. “I am glad to see this re-established. This is a great legacy that was allowed to lapse.”
In his report to the board, Wright-Riggins shared three organizational ministry priorities developed for 2013.
1. Launch a collaborative that focuses on lifelong learning and deepening people’s calls: This Christian lay academy would provide learning in face-to-face as well as virtual settings. At the end of November, ABHMS will convene approximately 40 people in a Future Search process aimed at determining how its resources (human and technological) can be used to provide information to people in the pew to enhance their walks with God.
2. Launch initiatives that address the church and 18-29 year olds—“the black hole of church life”: Wright-Riggins said these young people are the missing persons in our congregations, and we must prioritize programs to keep them in our churches. ABHMS is working on an initiative that partners young people with mission experiences through Neighborhood Action Program Christian centers.
3. Establish a missional mapping network: This is an Internet-based, interactive map of mission sites across the United States that seeks to identify synergistic opportunities for cooperation and learning. Already launched at www.missionalnetworking.org, the map is meant to connect people with people, groups with groups and both with excellent available resources. Thinkers in the area of missional church will share their insights by blogging as part of this network, which aims to wed technology with resources and connect them with more people.
During his president’s report, the Rev. Dr. Clifford Johnson applauded the involvement of ABHMS in Immerse, the 2012 national gathering of American Baptist Youth in Washington, D.C., where the worship, he said, was “electrifying.” In addition, he shared about his experience as an ABHMS representative at the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) annual event in New York City, which he described as “most moving.” As a founding member of ICCR more than 40 years ago, ABHMS is “at the forefront of this group,” Johnson said.
Finance Committee chair Brazilian Thurman, who also attended the ICCR event, reported to the board that a portion of the program celebrated a recent ICCR success: Hershey Foods has announced it will certify all of its cocoa with a third party by 2020. Since Hershey has a 43% share of the U.S. chocolate market, the company’s decision is viewed as an important industry influence, bound to result in more sustainable cocoa farming and production.
In addition to a devotion by Brokaw, devotions were offered during the meeting by the Rev. James Calloway and the Rev. Lauren Ng.
American Baptist Home Mission Societies—the domestic mission arm of American Baptist Churches USA (ABCUSA)—ministers as the caring heart and serving hands of Jesus Christ across the United States and Puerto Rico through a multitude of initiatives that focus on discipleship, community and justice.
American Baptist Churches is one of the most diverse Christian denominations today, with 5,500 local congregations comprised of 1.3 million members, across the United States and Puerto Rico, all engaged in God’s mission around the world.

The number of new HIV infections in the UK continues to rise. By the end of 2013, an estimated 107,800 people were living with HIV in the UK, approximately one quarter (26,100 people) of whom were undiagnosed. 33,863 Londoners are living with diagnosed HIV and 32 of the 33 London boroughs are deemed to have a high prevalance of HIV against the national standard (2 people per 1,000 aged 15-59). Over one third of those with new HIV diagnoses in the UK in 2013 were Londoners (2,122 of 6,000).
Diagnosed HIV prevalence per 1,000 residents aged 15-59 by council in London, 2013 (Source: PHE)
From 1 April 2013 a range of public health responsibilities, including the commissioning of HIV prevention services, transferred from the NHS to local authorities. A Pan-London HIV Prevention Programme had been jointly commissioned by the London Primary Care Trusts, but was due to come to an end in March 2013.
In February 2013, our Leaders' Committee commissioned a needs assessment and options appraisal to consider the case for future pan-London commissioning.
In the light of this work, in November 2013, our Leaders' Committee agreed a new three-year £3.4 million London HIV Prevention Programme would be commissioned to deliver a limited number of key HIV prevention services.
The services are aimed at men who have sex with men and black African communities (the groups at highest risk of contracting HIV) and will include media campaigns, condom distribution and some outreach work.
Boroughs remain responsible for any additional HIV prevention commissioning required to meet the needs of their communities. Two case studies of local HIV prevention work are The ChemSex Study and C-Card Scheme.
The London Borough of Lambeth is hosting the London HIV Prevention Programme. It is overseen by a Steering Group, chaired by Julie Billett, Director of Public Health for Camden and Islington. Queries about the programme should be addressed to Paul Steinberg, the Programme Manager ([email protected]).
Three contracts have been let under the programme:
- Condom distribution and personal/digital outreach to men who have sex with men
A new contract worth £950,000 over 2 years started on 1 April 2015. It will secure distribution of 1.5 million condoms and lubricant sachets to a minimum of 80 MSM venues across London and deliver 76,000 face to face outreach contacts per year at 22 priority venues, as well as at 6 key events a year (eg Gay Pride).
- Black African condom distribution - review
There was found to be a lack of robust evidence about how to target condom distribution to black African communities effectively, so a review of existing schemes has been commissioned to inform the further development of this part of the programme.
- Communications and media
The LHPP has secured £250,000 from the National Institure for Health Research to contribute to the evaluation of the progrmame that will be undertaken by University College London (UCL) in conjunction with Public Health England.
The LHPP features in a June 2015 publication of case studies of sexual health commissioning in local government (link to an external website).
The HIV Prevention Needs Assessment for London - Nov 2013
The HIV Prevention Needs Assessment for London was published in November 2013. Six underpinning work streams fed into the needs assessment:
- Epidemiological review
- Evidence review update
- Call for evidence
- Stakeholder engagement
- Segmented insight research
- Mapping of current HIV prevention
A Health Equity Assessment was also produced.
A new evaluation work stream in the London HIV Prevention Programme will ensure that we continue to learn about what works best and build the body of evidence to inform future commissioning.

Do you happen to be in search of a recognized & honorable dealer to deliver guidance with your gold bullion investing options in St. Martins, New Brunswick? Acquiring gold and silver is an excellent strategy to broaden your investment portfolio and add more security as well. Being an investor you will have the freedom to select between which kind of bullion you would like to purchase. For instance, a few popular forms of bullion include; bars, rounds, & coins.
One of the more popular methods of investing in gold involves buying bars. The reason why many individuals would rather obtain bars is because of how much bullion you can get for your dollar. For example, a 1 kg bar would have a lower premium when compared with a one hundred gram bar. So basically the smaller the bar, the greater the premium. When you compare the cost of bars to coins, bars usually cost less.
One thing to consider if you’re about to buy large bullion bars, is that you make certain you’re purchasing from a well-established & trusted company. Unfortunately bigger bars often have a reputation for being counterfeit.
Rounds appear similar to coins although they are completely different in terms of their overall value. Like bars, rounds carry a value which is determined by its precious metal content. Rounds are also similar to bars when it comes to size and premium pricing as well. In essence the bigger the round the lesser the premium. One major difference between rounds & coins is that rounds may not be used as legal tender and do not have any face value.
Rounds are generally found in silver and commonly manufactured in one ounce sizes. They can also be found in smaller fractional sizes also.
Bullion coins are normally found in gold, silver, platinum and palladium. It is another popular method among investors to acquire precious metals, as many consider them to be valuable collectors items. Unlike rounds, coins can be used as legal tender in their country of origin.
Coins also carry a different premium & spot price in comparison with rounds. Coins which have been distributed by the government will usually sell for a higher premium over spot price as well. That is usually because of their higher demand and rarity.
When looking for an organization to purchase your bullion, one thing you have to consider is that some organizations specialize in coins while others are recognized for their bars. When you have decided on what type of bullion you desire to acquire, you should then start looking for a company that specializes in what you’re looking to purchase.
Silver Gold Bull Canada
Silver Gold Bull is an experienced and credible precious metals supplier located in Canada, who is qualified to provide investors with all of the bullion options mentioned above and more. They are a very well-established company located in Calgary, Alberta and has been offering precious metals to investors for years.

Brand Guidelines: Rake Made
The founders of Rake Made grooming products wanted to write their website and marketing content themselves, but they needed to translate their vision for the brand into thoughtful standards that would get them through the initial launch and beyond.
I interviewed co-founder Jenny Haight about her vision for the brand and the scope of the market, then researched competitors. The resulting document was an educational guide intended to tease out the details of Rake Made’s brand values and personality.
The brand guide acted as a compass for the content created leading up to Rake Made’s launch. The founders intend to share this resource with future contributors and employees.

Employees’ work schedules seem to be as fluid than ever. More and more, employers are bending to the employment market’s demand by allowing employees to work remotely from home and/or to reasonably set their own hours to accommodate personal obligations such as caring for children or loved ones. If done thoughtfully and effectively, these accommodations can lead to happier and more productive employees.
But it is not without potential pitfalls. A common concern for employers with employees who keep odd or fluid work schedules is whether they are required to compensate these employees for travel time away from home.
The answer, unfortunately, is not always clear. As employers know, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay employees for their “work.” Over time and through the passage of subsequent legislation, Congress has clarified that employers are not required to pay their employees for time spent commuting from home to work. That is not compensable worktime, regardless of if the employee works at a fixed location or at different work sites.
But what about when an employee without a regular work schedule has to travel away from home for work? Must he or she be paid for time traveling to and from the destination?
The answer is a qualified “maybe.” The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 29 C.F.R. §785.39, provides that travel away from home is compensable worktime if and when it cuts across the employee’s workday. In such a case, the employee is just substituting travel for other compensable work activities, even weekends or dates the employee does not typically work. So if an employee has a regular work schedule – say, 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. – their time spent traveling during those times is compensable. Easy enough.
So what happens when an employee has no easily discernable, regular “workday?” How do employers determine what travel time is compensable – and what is not?
How to determine whether an employee has a “regular workday”
The Department of Labor (DOL) recently attempted to clarify employer obligations and offer them more certainty in potential wage and hour disputes arising in these situations. FLSA 2018-18.
Employers should be cautious in making any unilateral determination that an employee does not have a “regular workday,” even if the employee’s hours are not rigidly set. If challenged, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) or a court will review employee time records with an eye to establish work patterns that such a “regular workday” existed that requires the employee to be compensated for travel time. So fair warning: just because an employee has a non-traditional schedule or work setup does not mean she does not have a “regular workday.”
Any determination that an employee does not have a “regular workday” should be the result of a situation-specific (hopefully, time-record-supported) analysis. Otherwise, it may not pass muster if challenged by employees seeking additional compensation.
The DOL provided several permissible methods to an employer to conduct this analysis:
- Review the employee’s time records during the most recent month of employment. If they reveal typical work hours, the employer can consider those as normal hours going forward absent a material change in circumstances.
- If there are not typical work hours revealed upon review of the employee’s time records, the employer can choose to average the start and end times of the workday.
- If neither of the above methods reveal a typical workday, the employer can negotiate an agreement with the employee as to what the reasonable amount of time spent traveling falls within a regular workday and what time is otherwise compensable.
Each of these methods, if used reasonably, will shield the employer from an adverse finding by the WHD that the CFR was violated for not compensating employees’ travel only during work hours. Employers looking to reduce potential risk would be well advised to take heed of these recommended methods.

Panasonic Introduces 360-Degree Panoramic Megapixel Dome Cameras
Panasonic is showcasing its new 360-degree panoramic 3.0 megapixel dome cameras that set a new benchmark for wide area surveillance here at ASIS 2012.
Available in both indoor (WV-SF438) and outdoor IP66 rated weather and vandal resistant (WV-SW458) configurations, the new cameras feature a 360-degree low-profile design and virtual
pan/tilt/zoom operation that does not require a motor - enabling the camera to be placed in spaces where conventional PTZ cameras won't fit.
Highlighted features include full 1080p resolution at 30fps with Panasonic's exclusive Mega Super Dynamic processing, distortion correction to minimize optical distortion and ensure highly accurate images, and multiple transmission modes for versatile monitoring of wide areas. Additional intelligent features include face detection, privacy zone masking and the ability to be controlled directly from a Smartphone.
"Our new 360-degree panoramic megapixel cameras provide lower total cost of ownership (TCO) with higher return on investment (ROI) as a result of their outstanding coverage capabilities, performance and functionality," said Greg Peratt, Panasonic's Director of Sales, Video Solutions Integration. "Panasonic's new i-PRO SmartHD 360-degree panoramic 3.0 megapixel dome cameras set a new benchmark for megapixel imaging by combining 1080p HD resolution with a combination of unique Panasonic imaging technologies to deliver unparalleled versatility at an attractive price point."
The new i-PRO SmartHD 360-degree panoramic 3.0 megapixel dome cameras incorporate H.264 high profile compression technology to minimize transmission and recording bandwidth requirements. Up to a 50 percent maximum reduction in network bandwidth is further achieved via Panasonic's UniPhier proprietary System LSI platform. H.264 maximum bit rate/client and total bit rate control provides flexible network management, and Frame Rate Priority mode adjusts bit rate and compression ratio to ensure a specified frame rate. Multiple H.264 (high profile) streams and JPEG streams ensure simultaneous real-time monitoring and high-resolution recording.
For added application versatility, the new i-PRO SmartHD 360-degree panoramic 3.0 megapixel dome cameras offer five transmission modes including: Wall Panorama, Double Panorama, Quad PTZ, Single PTZ and Quad Streams (H.264/VGA). Two areas of VIQS (Variable Image Quality on Specified Area) enable areas in an image to be encoded at a lower resolution to save bandwidth while maintaining maximum detail in critical areas.
Additional performance features include Panasonic's Mega Super Dynamic and Adaptive Black Stretch (ABS) technologies which delivers 128x wider dynamic range compared to conventional cameras; 3D-DNR digital noise reduction; Day/Night operation; Video Motion Detection (VMD) with four programmable detection areas, 15-step sensitivity levels and 10- step detection sizes; fish-eye lens control to intuitively realizes intelligible screen operation; a SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card slot for H.264/JPEG manual recording, alarm recording and/or backup upon network failure (JPEG); plus full duplex bi-directional audio which allows interactive communication between camera site and monitoring site.
Adding to their installation flexibility, i-PRO SmartHD 360-degree panoramic 3.0 megapixel dome indoor (WV-SF438) and outdoor IP66 rated (WV-SW458) cameras are also available with an M12 connector instead of a standard RJ-45.

Large scale land acquisition for agroindustrial expansion is currently one of the most serious threats against forests and people in the Congo River basin, the third largest river in the world by volume of water discharged.
According to the Center for Environment and Development (CED)/Friends of the Earth Cameroon, from 2005 to 2012, the demand for lands by large-scale monoculture plantations amounted to two million hectares, out of the six million hectares of arable lands available in the country. Among the industrial monocultures that have advanced the most in Cameroon we find rubber trees and palm oil.
The organization has also denounced that large infrastructure projects (such as dams, pipelines, railways and deep-water ports) are also factors that bring pressure on the community lands or arable lands that could be fundamental to ensure food sovereignty in the future.
Given the fact that the right to land of small rural farmers is in a fragile situation, CED has been working to defend and promote their rights and especially in the case of women, who despite many times being in charge of small-scale production systems, they are robbed from their right to land tenure.
In terms of Food Sovereignty, the problem becomes even more pressing, since the global trend of rural women being in charge of food production is more marked in the Sub-Saharan African region, to which Cameroon belongs. There, women are responsible for the production of 60-80 per cent of food, according to data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
For more information, visit CED / Friends of the Earth Cameroon’s website, and download the attached files. The material is available in French.

In a clean dry quart canning jar put in dried beans,etc.. Put a little bit of dry ice on the best (about the measurement of the idea of your respective finger) and protected a cleanse cap and screw on lid. The dry ice normally takes out the entire oxygen for that reason bugs, micro organism cannot reside in there. I nonetheless have many jars he did labeled 1982. You are able to shake those beans all you want and they don't peel,etc… Appears to be  like you acquire them right now!
All tension cookers depend upon heated water to produce and keep pressure inside the pot: if there is inadequate h2o from the start, or if cooking foods like rice and beans (as ATK did in certain of their assessments) which take up plenty of h2o, and inadequate liquid is remaining to generate steam, the pressure cooker can't manage tension, and gained’t work correctly. You'll want to hardly ever function a tension cooker with too very little h2o — you can in fact hurt the cooker. So it’s a great thing this device switches to “keep heat” if it could’t retain pressure. When the machine does this, all you have to do is release the force, include far more water, lock the lid, and you need to be in the position to carry the unit back around force pretty quickly.
1616- Like the majority of the Americas south of your tree line, the first inhabitants on the Hamilton region were being Indians. The first European to visit exactly what is now Hamilton was almost certainly Étienne Brûlé in 1616. Lasalle also frequented the region, a fact commemorated at a park in nearby Burlington.

To the editor,
First, we wish to discuss their suggestion on the requirement for using actual fluoroscopic images in the test stage. The necessity to validate our method using clinical fluoroscopic imaging was already mentioned in “Abstract”, “Discussion”, and “Conclusion” . The sentences in “Discussion” include the following: “we understand that our results were obtained from preliminary simulated fluoroscopic images, and we must validate this method using real clinical fluoroscopy. The anticipated primary difficulty is the different image qualities between the DRRs and the clinical fluoroscopy images. However, we expect that this problem can be solved by improving the DRR quality to be similar to the quality of clinical fluoroscopy images, or by creating a wide contrast variation in the training images for the input data set of deep learning” . The last sentence might be too...

They are perfect for the disabled gardener, those suffering from arthritis, and the elderly as they can be elevated to a suitable level so that bending over and kneeling will not be necessary.
Another approach is to use concrete blocks, although less aesthetically pleasing, they are inexpensive to source and easy to use. On the market are also prefab raised garden bed solutions which are made from long lasting polyethylene that is UV stabilized and food grade so it will not leach undesirable chemicals into the soil or deteriorate in the elements.
The first step is to calculate the dimensions on the inside of the garden bed, which is the length and width that is actually usable for planting. If you bought your beds from a commercial source, then chances are, the interior dimensions are probably a little less than the advertised size.
Then, determine what you would like to use for the anchors. If you built your garden bed out of lumber, you could use nails as anchors, spacing each nail the appropriate distance as determined by the results of the calculation in Step 1 above. If your garden bed is made out of a composite material (part wood waste, part plastic), I recommend using an anchor placed on the outside of the bed. Since my beds are 6 inches high, I used 12 inch metal spikes I bought from the local hardware store, pounding them into the soil directly on the outside of the garden bed.

The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member has the same illness that killed Bernie Mac.
Krayzie Bone, one of the founding members of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and proud owner of two Grammy awards, is currently on tour in Canada. However, he had to cut his tour short due to illness, and announced that he “will be back to make those dates up soon.” He didn’t say what illness, but just told TMZ that he is battling sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in cells throughout the body.
The disease most commonly affects the lungs and its treatment further lowers the immune system, which is why Krazie Bone thinks he caught a really bad case of pneumonia. Sarcoidosis is the same disease which claimed the life of comedian Bernie Mac. It disproportionately affects people of Northern European and African/African American descent.
He did not disclose when he was diagnoses, but seems to have been living with it for at least a short time. He sent a tweet on February 6 that simply reads, “Sucks being sick.” People took that as the sign of having a minor illness, but it may have been frustrating with his sarcoidosis. Our thoughts and prayers are with Krayzie Bone, and we’re awed by his commitment to music despite the life-changing diagnosis.

A new idea is forming fast
And spins around in space.
It comes to earth and looks around
And then it spots my face.
(or I could have said: "For someone to embrace"
It leaps inside this mind of mine
And seeks a nook and cranny
In which to nest itself and grow.
It’s rather too uncanny!
(or I could have said: But why pick this old granny?)
Its growing form burns in my brain
And words then start to flow.
My fingers tap upon the keys;
My mind’s now all aglow.
(or I could have said: But my typing's rather slow -
except that it's not!
I’ll change these words, I know I will.
I’m never satisfied,
But left untouched, this new idea
For certain would have died.
(or I could have said: "Would wander on, untried"
My poem’s finished; I’m content
And the idea is happy too -
And back through space I hurl it out
To make its home with you.
(or I could have said: . . .
"But will my poem be well received?
Well, that answer lies with you."
Copyright on all my poems
In your class, think what would have been your own last line to each verse - and teachers, do let me know the really best last lines please.

Yep, I’m talking about farm animals, folks. While at the State Fair, Abs and I headed over to the Pavilion for the Rooster Crowing Contest. We weren’t sure what to expect (spoiler alert). I am not a country girl, I’ve lived in the suburbs outside the city my whole life. Granted, Louisville can’t really compare to larger cities like Chicago or St. Louis but never mind that, it’s still a city. Anyway, I tend to get excited about farm stuff because it’s different from what I’m used to. And for some reason beyond my understanding, I was excited about the roosters.
Abby and I thought this “contest” would be based on quality: Can you make your rooster crow on command? How loud does your rooster crow? How long does he crow? Are there different kinds of crowing?
I mean, this guy was talking to his rooster, encouraging him. I was thinking, “This may be better than I thought. I know they say chickens are dumb animals but if he can make that rooster crow on command, I’ll have to shake his hand… after he washes it.”
But no. That is not what it’s like. At all. Quality is no concern of theirs; it’s all about quantity. So we watched four cocks in four cages crow for 10 minutes while two judges tallied the squawks on a notepad. Can we say boring? For 10 minutes, this was the view. Yeah, boring.
In case you’re wondering, Rooster #2 won with 22 crows. Rooster #1, the one that got the pep talk, crowed five times. It seems the contest got in the way of his nap time. Contest aside, there were so many different kinds of roosters caged around the room and some were very pretty. Who knew there were that many kinds. Little ones. Big ones. Loud ones. Sleepy ones. Some with feathery feet. Some with normal bird feet.
This poor quacker was stacked with the roosters. Maybe he thought he was a rooster. He sure as hell made as much noise as his squatting neighbors.
On the way out of the Pavilion, we passed some baby critters. These piglets were adorable. There were a few digging around for lunch (you can see their little tails on the right) but these guys were tuckered out.
And then the cows. I love cows. For the longest time I wanted a pet cow (reminder: not a country girl) but then I changed my mind and wanted a pygmy goat. I settled on the canine breed.
But while I was snapping away with these two bovine models, the calf started moving it’s head. I said, “Ah crap, he moved.” Not missing a beat, Abby said, “No he didn’t. He mooooo-ved.” And that’s why I go to the Fair with my Abs.

Making an internet site can appear daunting, however with these website builders it is really easy. Wix is one of the best web site builder as of today. Rocketspark is also an ecommerce website builder that provides you all of the instruments you might want to create and run an exquisite ecommerce web site. SiteBuilder comes geared up with a powerful array of options which might be sure to appease even probably the most ardent web design professionals.
Small enterprise owners can get an SSL certificates, net analytics, and eCommerce features inside the primary package. Because its so essential to get assist, as in my case the random technical error meant I had to take the location down, and they just didn’t get again to me. I found a detailed second to be My website builder, and so they provide chat assist.
Total this feels like GoDaddy just wished to get an internet site builder product to market and didn’t actually put in the time essential to make it good. You will also must buy a website hosting account in additional to the website builder software program.
A website builder is a downloadable software package or a web-based accessible platform you should use to create internet pages without editing the code manually. Then, as you find that certain web site builders don’t meet your needs, merely remove them from contention.
We have made it our mission to keep pushing the bounds on the amount you possibly can customise your design without coding—and without having to change templates each time you wish to modify your website’s design. We’ve examined a few of the best, and worst(!), website builders in the marketplace that can assist you on your means.

Gault site research pushes back date of earliest North Americans
July 20, 2018 (Reno, NV) – For decades, researchers believed the Western Hemisphere was settled by humans roughly 13,500 years ago, a theory based largely upon the widespread distribution of Clovis artifacts dated to that time. Clovis artifacts are distinctive prehistoric stone tools so named because they were initially found near Clovis, New Mexico, in the 1920s but have since been identified throughout North and South America.
In recent years, though, archaeological evidence has increasingly called into question the idea of "Clovis First." Now, a study published by a team including DRI's Kathleen Rodrigues, Ph.D. student, and Amanda Keen-Zebert, Ph.D., associate research professor, has dated a significant assemblage of stone artifacts to 16-20,000 years of age, pushing back the timeline of the first human inhabitants of North America before Clovis by at least 2,500 years.
Significantly, this research identifies a previously unknown, early projectile point technology unrelated to Clovis, which suggests that Clovis technology spread across an already well-established, indigenous population.
"These projectile points are unique. We haven't found anything else like them," said Tom Williams, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Anthropology at Texas State University and lead author of the study. "Combine that with the ages and the fact that it underlies a Clovis component, and the Gault site provides a fantastic opportunity to study the earliest human occupants in the Americas."
The research team identified the artifacts at the Gault Site in Central Texas, an extensive archaeological site with evidence of continuous human occupation. The presence of Clovis technology at the site is well-documented, but excavations below the deposits containing Clovis artifacts revealed well-stratified sediments containing artifacts distinctly different from Clovis.
To determine the ages of these artifacts, Rodrigues, Keen-Zebert, and colleagues used a process called optically simulated luminescence (OSL) dating to the ages of the surrounding sedimentary material. In OSL, researchers expose minerals that have long been buried under sediment layers to light or heat, which causes the minerals to release trapped potassium, uranium, and thorium electrons that have accumulated over time due to ambient, naturally occurring radiation. When the trapped electrons are released, they emit light which can be measured to determine the amount of time that has elapsed since the materials were last exposed to heat or sunlight.
"The fluvial nature of the sediments deposited at the Gault Site have created a poor environment for preservation of organic materials, so radiocarbon dating has not been a useful technique to apply in this region," said Kathleen Rodrigues, graduate research assistant in DRI's Division of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences. "This made luminescence dating a natural choice for dating the archaeological materials here. We are really pleased with the quality of the results that we have achieved."
The study was published on July 11th in the journal Science Advances and is available here: http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/7/eaar5954.

Most people know that proper posture is important for pain relief and healthy functioning. But what is “proper posture”? How do you know which posture is right for your body? How do you achieve it?
Proper posture comes from correct positioning and movement of the feet, legs, pelvis, spine and rib cage. If an individual has tightness in a particular area, the alignment of the entire body can change. This can put abnormal stress on joints, muscles, and ligaments which will produce pain.
The therapists at Orthopedic Physical Therapy Inc. are specifically trained in postural assessment and can assist you in achieving and maintaining the posture that is right for your body. Your therapist will perform a thorough examination of how your body is positioned and is moving, and will give you specific treatment based on your individual needs.
What types of treatment might I expect?
- Exercises – Your therapist will instruct you in exercises to activate and strengthen certain muscles, and relax other muscles, in order to reposition your body. These exercises will allow you to be able to take control of your own treatment and relief of your pain.
- Breathing – Your therapist will instruct you in how to breathe properly based on your individual needs. You will be able to use breathing as a way to strengthen your core, relax overworked muscles, and gain mobility where you need it.
- Custom Orthotic Casting – The therapists at OPT are trained in the casting of custom foot orthotics. Using orthotics made specifically for your feet, and your postural needs will assist you in keeping proper postural alignment from the ground up.
- Manual Physical Therapy – The therapists at OPT are all trained in advanced physical therapy techniques and dry needling, that will help release tight muscles and connective tissues and therefore speed your recovery.

KINGS OF MULBERRY STREET
Once in a lifetime comes a story of true greatness such as the epic tale of Baboo and his best friend Ticky.
Feisty TICKY is like a tjara Artful Dodger – cheeky and daring with a streetwise swagger and little respect for rules. He escapes the realities of his 80’s Sugarhill District existence by living in a Bollywood dream world where he’s an unbeatable action hero. Rooftops are his kingdom. When chubby, timid BABOO moves into the neighbourhood with his snooty, academic dad, Ticky thinks he’s the biggest loser he’s ever seen – but soon the two boys are drawn together by the shared threat of local bully and crime boss, RAJA.
These two nine year-old misfits decide to rid their community of the evil Raja. Their plan – emulate the antics and mannerisms of Bollywood hereos. The battle between escapism and harsh reality is not evenly matched, yet these heroes share a loyalty so special that it can conquer all.
In the sugar cane fields of KZN, and the poor but vibrant and bustling streets (and rooftops) of the early 80’s Sugarhill District, the two unlikely comrades learn about life and overcoming obstacles, prejudices and their own deepest fears in this charming and hilarious adventure.

The Grave Tattoo
Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks
Date: August 2016
Duration: 15 hours 0 minutes
When torrential summer rains uncover a bizarrely tattooed body on a Lake District hillside, old wives' tales also come swirling to the surface. For centuries Lakelanders have whispered that Fletcher Christian staged the massacre on Pitcairn so that he could return home. And there he told his story to an old friend and schoolmate, William Wordsworth, who turned it into a long narrative poem. Wordsworth specialist Jane Gresham, herself a native of the Lake District, feels compelled to discover once and for all whether the manuscript ever existed - and whether it still exists today...

Shop the look
I find that when you invest in great pieces, you tend to wear them all the time. This sweater from Ted Baker is two years old and it's one of my favorite winter staples. I love that the peplum adds a fun element to an otherwise simple sweater. Although it is not currently available I found a similar option at Ann Taylor!

They’re certainly not new. There are a number of well-known authors who have enjoyed the success of being traditionally publishing while still taking on their own projects that they self-publish. Some of them come at this from having been self-published authors who caught the attention of traditional editors and publishers. Others worked in reverse, becoming well-known traditionally published authors but experimenting–often in other genres or under pen names–with projects that they themselves control.
Now, this type of writing career has a name. Hybrid authors, as they are being called, were the featured topic of this morning’s sessions at Digital Book World. Phil Sexton presented some very detailed data on the sales and perceptions of the industry from the three types of authors discussed: self-published, traditionally published, and now, hybrid.
According to the data, it would appear almost as though the hybrid authors are the ones with the most satisfaction with the publishing industry and with their own careers. Perhaps the most interesting point Sexton shared was that hybrid authors were almost evenly split on whether they would publish their next manuscript traditionally or on their own.
Following Sexton’s presentation and a interview with author Hugh Howey and his agent Kristin Nelson about his decision to sign a print-only deal with Simon&Schuster after earning an average of $50,000 per month on his own, Laura Owen of GigaOm moderated a panel of agents to discuss this hybrid author status. The agents featured in the panel represent such hybrid authors as Amanda Hocking and Bella Andre.

Every Tuesday morning, 44News Morning Anchor Melissa Schroeder does a segment called “Family Matters”. This morning, Aleisha Sheridan and Christy Angel-Smith from 4C joined Melissa on the show. The ladies talked about spanking as a form of discipline. Christy Angel-Smith says she never advises parents to spank.
The two said, instead, the refer parents to what is called conscious discipline. Some of the benefits include:
-Improves social and emotional skills of students
-Increases student academic readiness
-Improves the quality of student-teacher/parent interactions
-Decreases aggression in preschool children
Melissa also announces a #WeeklyFamilyChallenge every Tuesday morning. This week, she asked families to try and play a game together as a family at least once this week. Make sure to post game night photos on social media using the hashtag #WeeklyFamilyChallenge.

Dubai: Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) are prepared to get into high gear if Dubai is successful in its bid for Expo 2020.
Navin M. Valrani, chief executive of Leminar, an SME, said that €4.5 billion (Dh22.4 billion) earmarked for Expo 2020 infrastructure investment coupled with private sector initiatives would be a tremendous boost for Dubai.
Leminar is a Dubai-based air conditioning firm providing services to the construction sector.
A successful bid for Dubai — with the winner to be announced in November 2013 — is expected to attract foreign investment, companies, and human capital to the emirate.
Valrani said he is not fazed by the idea of more companies entering Dubai following a successful bid.
“The beauty of Dubai is that it has always been a competitive environment. It is an entrepreneur’s dream city,” he said.
However, Valrani said there would be challenges for smaller companies entering the market on the back of Expo 2020 because “it’s not always easy to get start-ups up and running.” More info

THE Southport and District Football League this week said it is satisfied with Sefton Council’s reassurances that it did not intend to reduce football facilities in Southport and Formby.
League secretary Derrick Ramsden told the Southport Visiter: “At a meeting with the council officials and Cllr Richard Hands on Tuesday we discussed in depth the document which contains proposals for the next three to five years. The league’s initial interpretation of the documents appears to show a number of pitches would close.
“But, the council reassured the league there was no intentional proposals to reduce the facilities. In the circumstances, the league now feels happier.”
He said: “Over the last five to six years, the league has entered into a fifty fifty partnership with the council to renovate and update pavilions at Carr Lane, Devonshire Road, Sandbrook Road and Portland Street which cumulates with the provision of new facilities at Bedford Park.
“There are plans currently to drain the pitches at Devonshire Road and Tarleton Road and without this partnership, facilities would not have been upgraded and we are grateful to the council for its co-operation.”
He said he was pleased talks were now underway with Sefton executives for the possible improvement of facilities at other sites.
He said: “I do believe something positive has come out of all of this.
The need for improvements at Meols Cop have been highlighted and the possibility of changing facilities there are now being investigated.”

Forgive me for crowing a little, but it’s an exciting day to finally get some fiction out there for others to read. I had expected Amazon to have it up tomorrow, 11/1, given the suggested lead time for review, but they pleasantly surprised me and it became available in the wee hours. So yes, you can now purchase The Kayson Cycle on Amazon for 99 cents! Click here – do it – you know you want to.
For those of you who haven’t read about it, this is the extended version of my Rule of Three blogfest entry, including two new scenes and an exclusive sample chapter of Corridors of the Dead not available anywhere else.
How extended is it? Why should you purchase it? Well, we were given a 600-word limit for each entry. Four entries gives you 2400 words. The final version of the extended take is 5000 words, so you can see I added quite a bit, and fleshed out some of the ideas that I just couldn’t explore in the shorter format, such as:
- What did Kayson know about his brother and women?
- How did the Stranger’s Wife feel about the expedition?
- What is the nature of the Cycle?
- What’s up with the amethyst that they’re tied to?
For those who haven’t read the story on this site, here’s the back cover copy:
Set in the shared world of Renaissance, The Kayson Cycle introduces us to the Kayson Brothers, a pair of faith healers who once wowed crowds in a traveling show but have since split up to find their own fortunes. While Jeffrey Kayson disappeared into the wilderness, William Kayson moved to the failing mining town of Renaissance to build a nice, quiet life – a life that has lasted for over ten years. It is a life that will crumble when a mysterious stranger from the North walks into his tavern bearing a proposal to find his long-lost brother. William will soon learn that he can’t escape his family – or his destiny.
Overall, I really think it’s worth a purchase, and I hope you do too.
I also now have an author page at Amazon, and Goodreads is in the works. Pop over and give me a like if you’re feeling charitable!

In a recent analysis by The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI), motor carriers’ operational costs of trucking were quantified and documented, providing critical data so they could work to provide correct information to policymakers about how new funding strategies could negatively impact the freight movement. Because this study has been completed for 9 years now, the metrics continue to become more precise, resulting in an invaluable look at how the costs of the trucking industry have changed over time.
Marginal Cost of Operation Influencers
Many types of data were collected in 2016 in order to calculate the marginal cost of operation. These included:
- Fuel – Fuel costs have represented between 30-40 percent of overall cost per mile during each year the study has taken place. However, prices declined steadily in 2015 and 2016 making the percentage lower for the second year in a row.
- Equipment – Overall operating costs can be affected by age and type of equipment as well as the turnover rate. In this year’s study, owners of both truck tractors and straight trucks reported longer use before replacement. This trend explains the increased maintenance and repair costs that are predicted to increase.
- Driver Pay – For the 4th year in a row, driver benefits and pay are both reported to have grown. This is most likely due to a shortage of qualified drivers. According to the American Trucking Association, the currently estimated shortage of 50,000 drivers is predicted to grow to an alarming increase of 175,000 drivers in 2025. In addition to the current and predicted driver shortages, another demographic is predicted to negatively affect the industry as well. This is the fact that over 50% of the qualified workforce is over the age of 45 while less than 5% are between the ages of 20-24. Shortages such as this will continue to push driver wages and benefits higher, further impacting the overall cost of ownership.
A Closer Look at Line Item Costs
Looking at costs with an eye to the long-view helps to give historical perspective to compiled data. For instance, the knowledge that diesel prices were the highest in 2008, topping the pumps near $4.80 per gallon and stabilizing between $3.75 and $4.15 per gallon between 2011 and 2014 gives an understanding of just how relatively low diesel prices dipped in February of 2016 when they reached $1.98 per gallon.
Another cost that the study looked at historically was that of leasing or purchasing equipment. A reported increase in such payments in 2016 brought the current average to 25.5 cents per mile. This increase certainly factors into the higher Cost Per Mile.
Repair and maintenance (R&M Costs) were determined with several factors in mind. These included the age of trucks and trailers, vehicle configurations and technologies used. The average costs in this survey grew by 1 cent, making this the highest recorded year since the data was first collected 9 years ago. This is mainly be attributed to a shortage of diesel technicians.
Commercial truck insurance premiums also rose one percent this year, bringing the total to 7.5 cents per mile. Specialized carriers reported a much higher increase of 9.0 cents per mile. Compiled data verified that carriers with less than 100 power units experienced the highest rise in insurance premiums while the largest fleet operators reported a much smaller increase.
Other line-item expenses that were factored into this year’s study included permits and special licenses, tires and tolls.
Making Sense of the Data
Making sense of all of the data means making calculations that result in understandable bits of information. One such calculation resulted in an average Cost Per Mile (CPM) in 2016. This year’s average was $1.592, up just one percent from last year. Seemingly, the increase in driver wages and benefits was offset by the decrease in fuel prices bringing the averages relatively close together.
In addition, data was compiled to attain the average cost per mile by region. These findings showed the least expensive region to be the Midwest ($1.540) while the most expensive was the Northeast ($1.655).
By documenting and compiling this data, the ATRI has, once again, provided invaluable information which can be used for benchmarking. Such information is frequently used by carriers working to see if costs are in line with a nationwide average.

A personal zine is a zine whose focus is on the author's life. As could be imagined, this leaves quite a bit of room for interpretation, depending on the lifestyle and\or writing abilities of the author. Production quality also varies a lot.
The typical personal zine has things in common, however. It is usually produced with photocopying, and stapled together by hand. It usually has a print run of between a dozen and two hundred copies. With such a small print run, of course, and the fact that zines are not a big monetary item, most zine writers do not hope to make a profit or even to recoup their costs. Most personal zines are either traded through the mail with other zine writers, or are sold at independent record stores for a nominal cost (usually under a dollar). If you are lucky enough to live in Portland. OR, you can buy them at Reading Frenzy.
The technical details of what makes a personal zine done, I could describe the typical artistic merits of one, and I could do it in a rather uncharitable manner. There is a certain stereotype, even within the zine geek community, that personal zines are an excuse for people to vent their feelings. And while I have read a great many personal zines that are of the "I am an alienated teenager" or "my boyfriend just broke up with me" variety, I have also read plenty that were funny, insightful, and showed a great deal of skill of someone turning their lives events into meaningful writing.
