Guilty plea for shooting accident
Animates opens store in Whanganui
8 Jun, 2016 8:45am
LOCAL CONNECTION: Jacquie Baigent, Animates' national brand manager {with office pooch Huckleberry} was born and raised in Whanganui.
The wait is nearly over for Whanganui pet owners with news that Animates, one of the country's largest pet shop brands, is opening a store in the city and providing jobs for at least 12 people.
Jacquie Baigent, national brand and partnerships manager for Animates, said the store would open toward the end of the year at 299 Victoria Ave in a building on the corner of the Avenue and Dublin St.
Until recently the building housed the Salvation Army home store.
Ms Baigent said they would be "tailoring" the building to accommodate the store, along with a grooming and "do-it-yourself" dog wash facility.
"We will likely have up to 12 roles for locals. This will include store management team, inventory management, sales and groomers. We start recruiting around September," she said.
She said while the new store would be supported by the national office, "supporting our local team is the most important role we have as this will be Whanganui's store and run by locals".
Animates is a New Zealand-operated company which started in Christchurch more than 20 years ago and now has about 40 stores operating nationwide.
Ms Baigent said Animates wasts.
"Everything we do is about our pets living happier, healthier and longer lives because that makes us humans happier."
The Victoria Ave store will offer the same range of products and pets as every other store in the retail chain. That includes advice on pet nutrition, exercise, health and training.
"We also cover off fashion, pet adoption, insurance and grooming. The store will host education events for families to help kids learn how to be responsible and great pet parents through our school holiday programme," she said.
Another aspect of the store's operation will be working with the SPCA to find homes for animals.
"We've worked with the SPCA since 2010 to find homes for rescued pets as part of the Animates/SPCA Saving Lives programme. Through this relationship we've been able to help find nearly 12,000 pets a home."
The franchise also works with the Mobility Assistance Dogs Trust, helping fundraise for puppies that are trained to help Kiwis with physical disabilities. Over the last two years they have funded four puppies at a cost of $45,000 each.
Opening a branch in Whanganui holds special significance for Ms Baigent, who was born and educated here and still has family here.

This happens with astrology. “If astrology is so true, could you have figured out Hitler?”
I’ve watched astrologers over the last 25 years look at Hitler’s chart and try to explain it. I laugh. Especially when they get to the peace-loving Libra rising that most believe is the accurate chart. I don’t believe they or I could have picked this chart out and said, “This is the man that led a nation to commit genocide.”
What’s worse, Hitler has the same planets and signs in his chart that you and I have. We all share the same cosmic dust.
To look at Hitler’s chart, I think we need to put his life in perspective. He’s blamed for the deaths of millions, but to my knowledge he killed no one but himself. He definitely manipulated, encouraged and facilitated the murder of others with willing assassins, which is something else.
So could an astrologer see this in Hitler’s chart?
What I believe I would have seen without knowing the person behind the chart is that this person lacked the ability to feel. There is no water in the chart.
The Taurus sun and Capricorn moon are both earth signs. Capricorn is the sign of the moon’s detriment, meaning the moon can’t do what the moon does (feel) in Capricorn. Capricorn is about restraint, the opposite of feeling which flows without reason.
Nature needs Capricorn moons just like any other moon. Who could keep calm in an 80-story building hit by planes but someone who could control his/her emotions? Who could lead soldiers into battle? Or clean the wound of a loved one who is dying?
There are lots of life situations where emotional control is needed and Capricorn moons step up to the plate.
Where emotional control is not needed is in the midst of murder. Capricorn is practical, systematic and organized. I still feel anguish when I think about how Jews were not only murdered, but their possessions and even their gold fillings were removed, documented and stored. That’s Capricorn moon gone to the dark side. That’s when some feelings help you realize the reality of the situation. It’s ironic that feelings would have given the “reality” check of genocide when feelings are normally associated with subjective states.
I believe I and other astrologers could have seen someone who could be dictatorial in his daily life. However, if you’ve ever worked in corporate life, you know this is not an uncommon trait. I don’t know why we see dictators as unusual when really there are lots of people would rule an island nation if they could.
How did this particular man, Adolf Hitler, become the figurehead for such terror?
I don’t believe that is in the realm of personal astrology. I believe this is mass psychology finding the right bad individual at the right time. Hitler and the Jews were both a projection of a terrible energy.
I remember one astrologer, maybe Liz Greene, pointing out that Hitler’s Pluto and Neptune are conjunct in Gemini in the 8th house. That conjunction could have made Hitler a perfect figurehead for a mass psychosis.
My answer would be if it weren’t the man called Adolf Hitler, it might have been another man with the steadfastness to believe in something horrible and the wherewithal to implement a plan of action. And if Hitler hadn’t been the man to lead this movement, he would still have had to find another outlet for his narrow and rigid beliefs, probably those closest to him.
I have rectified the rectified Hitler horoscope of Wilhelm T. H. Wulff.
You can see this on my Dutch website.
Interesting are the progressive aspects according the Dutch astrologer Jan Bernard Gieles his Gieles minus 1 (year) system.
It was my first rectified horoscope of others on 5 december 2005.
Nowadays I corrected more than 500 interesting horoscopes.
Also transits work!

Clarence the Lionhearted Oct 2, 1968 Survival is the lesson that Clarence and a native tribesman-turned poacher must learn when they are faced with existing in the bush as outcasts. While Dr. Tracy is testing Clarence’s lionhood and ability to protect his own territory, the native who refuses to leave his land after it is evacuated by the government, stalks his future prey – Clarence. The lions come to Wameru and attach the animals in the Compound.
African Heritage Oct 9, 1968 A famous child author, Jan Ferris, who longs to write adult best sellers like her father, comes to Africa looking for excitement, violence and adventure. Discovering that life at Wameru Compound is too tame for her, she attempts to provoke an incident by entering a cage housing a sick cheetah after earlier seeing Dr. Tracy and Mike inside removing her cub.
The Outsider Oct 16, 1968 Dr. Tracy’s new neighbours are newlyweds Anne and Alfred Benton. A big game hunter, Benton loses his hunting cheetah and comes to Daktari for help. Unknown to Benton, Mrs. Benton has secretly released the cat. Now, concerned for its life, she steals away to hunt for her husband’s pet on her own. While searching in the bush, she comes face to face with a wild killer cheetah.
Strike Like a Lion Oct 23, 1968 A young and wealthy idealist from the States, Andy Brewster, disillusioned by man’s lack of concern for his fellow man, comes to Africa and enlists in a small country’s rebel army. His first assignment is to come to Wameru and get Bart Jason, well known all over the continent for his skill with weapons and knowledge of jungle warfare, to join the cause.
Adam and Jenny Oct 30, 1968 The paths of a wild jungle dog and a runaway orphan named Adam cross with a lonely native couple living in an isolated bush area. The result involves Daktari, Paula, Mike, Hedley, Miss Pearce – and especially Jenny and Judy – conspiring to help Adam until he can find a real home of his own. While the two littIe schemers attempt to coax the husband and wife into adopting Adam, the boy finds himself alone in the bush – face to face with the vicious dog.
A Man's Man Nov 6, 1968 When a father and son, estranged by the death of his mother, are reunited at Wameru Compound, the tension rises. The father, Chet Rainey, a famous wild game hunter and oil tycoon, fears that his wife’s sensitivity may have had too great an influence on the boy. He sets out to make his kind of man out of his son, Ted. Bart agrees to take Chet and Ted on a camera safari. In the mountainous terrain, Ted at first seems to lack the stamina for the hunt, but when the party becomes separated, a stalking leopard tests not Ted’s, but Chet’s manhood.
The Runaways Nov 13, 1968 When Jenny overhears Dr. Tracy and the orphanage worker, Miss Pearce, discussing the children’s show for the home in which Toto is to star, Jenny mistakenly thinks that she is being returned to the orphanage for good.
African Showdown Nov 20, 1968 When a backslapping American rancher, Joe Wonder, buys the homestead next to Wameru Compound, Daktari and his staff become suspicious of his motives after he uses guns. It soon becomes apparent that he intends to fence off his part of the bush for controlled game hunting, and charge hunters high fees for killing the stray animals from the reserve. After overhearing Daktari say that he can find no legal way to stop Big Joe, Jenny and her animal friends sneak over to his ranch at night and begin to cut down all his barbed wire fences – unaware that Wonder is on guard.
Once Upon a Fang Nov 27, 1968 Wh.
The Divining Rods Dec 11, 1968 im.
Jungle Heartbeat Jan 1, 1969 Confrontation with an angry medicine man and the dangers of black magic begin to complicate Daktari’s work with the chief’s son who is dangerously ill. Crucial in the search to hopefully cure the sick boy are some seemingly unimportant questions asked by Jenny – why the caged tiger paces back and forth and why the captive elephant sways in the same rhythm?
A Tiger's Tale Jan 8, 1969 When a Bengal tiger (Serina), formerly a pet of Dr. Tracy’s, shows up at Wameru Compound after three years, Mike and Marsh attempt to discover the mysterious reasons for her return. She becomes vicious in her cage so Marsh lets her go, tracking her into the dense bush country. It appears that he is being led into a trap when the tiger brings him to her sick cub – and a full-grown lion poised for attack.
Judy Come Home Jan 15, 1969 An all-out search of the dense bush country surrounding Wameru is called after Judy and Clarence disappear. When four days have passed and there is still no trace of them, Jenny starts to worry. Fearing that they have been killed, she refuses to do anything but stand vigil. In an attempt to cheer her up, Marsh gets out Judy’s box containing souvenirs of past escapades. Using these as props, he begins to tell “Judy and Clarence’s Tales” while waiting to hear word of their rescue.

SnapCorrect is an online orthodontic service that sells clear braces that can be used to align your teeth, closing gaps or reducing crowding for a perfect smile. As you’ll find out during this SnapCorrect review, this company attracts attention for its incredibly transparent clear aligners which, it claims, are the most invisible on the market.
Like competitor online clear brace providers, such as Invisalign and Smile Direct Club, SnapCorrect treatments can be carried out entirely from the comfort of your home. It’s pleasingly simple to order a set of clear braces thanks to SnapCorrect’s clear and informative instructions.
To get started with your SnapCorrect treatment, the first thing you have to do is to answer a quick assessmentregarding your current dental history and the position of your teeth. Remember, certain dental diseases will disqualify you from clear brace treatment, so make sure you are detailed when describing your dental history.
After that, you’ll be able to order your at-home impression kit. This is basically just a mold that you bite into to leave a 3D imprint of your current teeth positions. Everything you need to do that is included in the impression kit box, along with a helpful Impression Guide. You’ll also need to snap a couple of pictures of your pre-treatment teeth at this stage and upload them to the SnapCorrect website.
Once you’ve returned your impression kit using the included prepaid shipping label, it’ll take 2 to 3 weeks for SnapCorrect’s team of orthodontists to design athe plan could vary in length from 3 to 18 months, and you’ll receive 3D models of your teeth before and after treatment to show you what improvements to expect.
The actual treatment process is broken into consecutive steps, each one with a matching aligner to ensure your teeth positions keep progressing. The number of steps varies from patient to patient according to treatment plan length, but all customers will need to wear their clear braces forteeth.
After the treatment plan is over, you’ll be left with a fantastic new smile. To maintain it, you’ll need to wear a retainer overnight that will anchor your teeth in place and stop them from returning to their pre-treatment positions.
The cheapest way to pay for a SnapCorrect clear brace treatment package is to make a single $1,749 payment. This includes the cost of your retainer and a free whitening kit. Howevethrough a payment system managed by Affirm. In total, you’ll pay around $191 extra if you do go down this route.
Before starting treatment, you’ll also need to purchase SnapCorrect’s separate impressions kit for $99, although this is regularly discounted to $49.
In your SnapCorrect treatment package, you’ll find a clear brace for each step of your treatment package. There are 2 major differences between SnapCorrect’s aligners and those of other clear brace companies. The first is that SnapCorrect aligners are significantly more transparent, meaning that even people right next to you will struggle to see them.
Secondly, SnapCorrect braces aren’t manufactured using a 3D printer. This has allowed the company to contour them so that your gums aren’t covered up while you’re wearing them, reducing irritation significantly.
Also in the box, you’ll find a free tooth whitening pen along with a bottle of Daily White Fusion whitening foam, and a SnapWhite whitening kit. It’s actually recommended that you finish SnapCorrect’s alignment treatment before whitening as this will allow you to mold your whitening trays to your new smile instead of your pre-treatment teeth position.
SnapCorrect has a team of qualified orthodontists and dentists on staff but interaction with them is essentially limited to pre-treatment approval. Unfortunately, SnapCorrect doesn’t offer remote treatment monitoring or work with affiliated clinics to provide in-person checkups. Instead, it’s recommended that you discuss your alignment plans with your dentist and get all necessary dental work completed prior to your taking your impressions and starting treatment.
Some clear aligner services offer comprehensive treatment guarantees such as free lifetime treatment if your teeth ever return to their original positions. Sadly, SnapCorrect does not although it does have a no-risk impression kit guarantee. Essentially, if SnapCorrect’s team of dental specialists don’t think you are a good candidate for treatment after evaluating your impressions, you’ll get your $99 fee back.
You can’t pay for SnapCorrect treatment directly through your insurance company but if you have dental health insurance, there’s a good chance your treatment cost. Obviously, it’s a good idea to check your level of coverage with your dental insurance provider before purchasing a treatment package.
If you have any questions about the SnapCorrect treatment system, there’s a good chance they will be answered by its comprehensive support hub. Here, you’ll find dozens of articles and forum threads answering common clear aligner queries. If you can’t see what you’re looking for in one of these pages, you can open a support ticket or get in touch with SnapCorrect"
"Finally
If you’re interested in tooth alignment treatment but don’t want to put up with ugly braces or aligner systems for months on end, SnapCorrect is definitely worth considering. This service offers some of the most transparent, comfortable, and cheapest clear aligners on the market.

most of Australia’s electricity and gas utility companies, made the comments in he Federal Opposition’s proposed amendments 5 and 6 to the Bill may have the effect of... encouraging socially inefficient duplication of communications infrastructure and increasing the cost of delivering energy network services in instances where the NBN would have otherwise been the most cost-effective and viable option,” ENA said in the submission.
ENA director, Tanya Bardin, used her appearance before the committee to say was wrong to assume utilities were interested in on-selling NBN Co Internet services.
“Because we are seeking such a basic service, NBN Co isn’t taking away market opportunities for retailers,” she said. “Retailers would be looking to take the basic service, enhance that and sell it as a more complete service to the market.
“We want to keep NBN Co narrowly focussed around wholesale services,” he said. [But] this exception we see as very, very narrow and we don’t have a concern.
“The exemptions to the wholesale only requirement are an example of the potential for ‘scope creep’,” Telstra said. “[They] will allow NBN Co to compete at the retail level for the supply of these services, but there does not appear to be any meaningful justification for this.

To Turnkey or NotTurnkey or Not...
@Rodney Phillips The question should really be: do I have the time and skills it takes to take on a rehab myself?If you have a full time job and don't have the time needed to poor into a rehab, then turnkey may be the better option. However, if you feel like you do have some extra time on your hands, you are handy yourself and/or you have some good connections and team members that can do the work for you, doing the BRRRR is a good way to go. Also, you don't have to spend so much money on a turnkey product; $190k for a duplex seems really high. There are lots of options and companies that offer turnkey products for a lot less money and they make great investments. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Lastly, your savings. Are you comfortable almost draining your savings?
Apples to Oranges really. Buying a stabilized rental property is a very passive thing. Theoretically you're just investing your funds into something that you can more or less set and forget. Pulling off a BRRRR & work load. Do you want to start a business or are you looking for a safe place to park your cash?
https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/buy-rehab-turnk...
To add to what Alex is saying here you need to successfully complete a great BRRRR deal to end up with less out of pocket. This is easy said than done. It requires a lot of skill to pull off a BRRRR like that. You could very easily fall flat in that business just like any other business bar, restaurant, cell phone sales, IT etc...
It comes down to time. How do you value your time?
If you have the time/connections to find really good discounted properties, rehab, and oversee that work, then i'd go for it. But most investors I come across are busy professionals that may end up going for mediocre deals and more "active" work than they intended. To each their own!
If you are buying properties turnkey, make sure they can rent for at least 1.5-2% of the purchase price. In my market you can't buy a turnkey for less than 190-225k. But, rents in these neighborhoods don't really surpass 1500. A turnkey in my area isn't worth it. Value adds in Philly are way more realistic. If you can acquire a property for 190k and rent it for at least 2850, then go for it!
I literally just weighed in on this same question on another thread if you want to check out the info there: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/698692-first-property-brrrr-or-turnkey?

It's not uncommon for a company or business to commemorate the opening of a new building with the planting of a new tree. You'll see a plethora of new trees planted when a new highway exit is built or a new complex is opened. A tiny benefit of big business can be found in their immortal capacity for incessant vanity. They want their landscaping to be perfect. They want to look like they are environmentally savvy and safe. Why not capitalize on the vanity of big business, and help the environment?
Planting a tree in remembrance of a lost loved one is not a new idea, but recently, there has been a small controversial addendum to this traditional action. Trees are now being used as grief therapy for women going through the after effects of having an abortion. Psychologists suggest that it gives the grieving mother a tangible manifestation of their child's life, and thus…

However, we move beyond the question of U.S. capability in the oil-rich Persian Gulf in this book. We also seek to understand what American hegemony really means. What does being the strongest actor yield in the complex and unpredictable circumstances of world affairs?
While the rise in American capability and changes in the international relations of the region have boosted global oil security, U.S. hegemony has faced serious challenges. Indeed, it would be misleading to paint a picture of the rise of hegemony as translating easily into positive outcomes. The picture is much more complex. We stress that the real story is about both U.S. hegemony and the challenges Washington faces, which we capture in the concept of challenged hegemony. But that raises two questions: What are the challenges, and how have they manifested themselves?
In addition, we tie into the broader debate about U.S. capability. While the questions of the United States and its challengers are ubiquitous, they focus on the global rather than the regional level. Thus, we commonly see questions of the following kind in the popular press and academic outlets: Is the United States still a global hegemon?20 Will China or other actors overtake it as the strongest state in the world?21 Has the world become post-American or multipolar?
We explore a few key questions: How have the capability and role of the United States changed in the Gulf in the past several decades?What does that mean for oil security?How have the capability and role of America's main rivals in the world, China and Russia, changed in the region, and what does that mean for America's regional role and for oil security?
1. Many observers see China's rise as largely peaceful. For example, see Charles L. Glaser, "Will China's Rise Lead to War?Why Realism Does Not Mean Pessimism," Foreign Affairs 90, no. 2 (2011): 80–91, and G" Foreign Affairs 87, no. 1 (2008): 23–37. For a more pessimistic view, see John J. Mearsheimer, "Can China Rise Peacefully?

The taxonomy used by the federal government to classify industries lists one called convention and trade show organizers, but this is too specific to include all the different kinds of event planning. A better way to understand event planning is by looking at the main occupation involved in this kind of activity: meeting, convention, and event planners. In 2018, this occupation employed about 134,000 salaried workers, according to the Department of Labor. About 8
Of the industries classified by the federal government, accommodation and food services—in other words, hotels and motels—and related services employed about 11 percent. Many of these establishments earn a large share of their revenue from hosting meetings, conventions, and other events. People who come to these events often stay overnight, rent meeting rooms, and use the restaurant or catering services; therefore these establishments find it profitable to keep a meeting, convention, and event planner on staff.
About 19 percent of workers in this occupation are employed by the industry known asAmerica must be a nation of joiners, because this industry includes thousands of establishments identified askinds of organizations. Many larger organizations of these kinds have one or more staff members whose primary function is to organize meetings or conventions for the membership, or for a larger audience they may organize political rallies, meet-the-candidate events, press conferences, or civic parades.
On the other hand, many of these organizations are too small to employ a meeting or convention planner, even on a part-time basis, and instead they contract out the work to service firms that specialize in these kinds of planning. These businesses belong to the specific industry called convention and trade show organizers, part of a larger industry known as other support services, which employs a small percentage of meeting, convention, and event planners.
Event planners also wthese institutions often host gatherings such as academic conferences and reunions of graduates. Businesses that promote the arts, sports events, and similar activities also employ event and meeting planners. Museums frequently encourage groups to attend for lectures and exhibitions; stadiums also are happy to host groups, and it's not uncommon to see the names of organizations in attendance appear on a stadium's giant screen during a game. Meeting, convention, and event planners are also employed by various other amusement and recreation services, such as golf courses, skiing facilities, and bowling centers; like the stadiums, these establishments encourage visits from groups.
Local governments also employ these workers. Cities and towns often need to hold hearings, meet-the-public events, and press conferences. Meeting, convention, and event planners also find work with businesses that offer various other personal services. The overwhelming majority of these establishments do wedding planning; these include wedding chapels.
Businesses that offer event-planning services have different ways of setting the fees. Some charge a flat fee for all events or for each component of an event. Some base their fee on the size of the event, charging either a percentage of the budget or a per-attendee fee. Some charge an hourly rate. Many use a mix of these methods. Meeting venues such as resorts, as well as transportation providers, are sometimes willing to pay a commission to a planner for steering clients in their direction, but many event planners consider it unethical to accept both these payments and fees from clients.
Specialized planning service firms tend to be small. Many consist only of a proprietor or partners who are planning professionals, plus perhaps a small administrative staff.

I keep thinking to myself one day that you'll be mine. And I keep thinking of ways that could maybe change your mind, about the way you feel about me even in due time...
You think I forgot to clock in but the cats not away and I'm no lab rat...
But I'm fine if I die, knowing its there if you need it...
You said yes to me but threw the ring at me so. Bad you had to leave, I shouldn't have let you go. When you said you didn't trust me. There's gotta be something I don't know...
I'm not in the mood, I must confess you made it worse when you insisted 'Honey go get dressed'...
Yes you argue with me fine, you tell me Darling it'll be alright...
How come I don't call no more, nor come by...
It was kind enough for you to oblige. When I asked you to come inside. When I know it's quite late tonight. Maybe you'd prefer some wine. Never mind your white coffee or my usual black tea...
They asked sure you know what you are doin'...
Let's take a step back. Sideways if you prefer that. Just take a moment out. We need to slow this down...
Let me think for a little while, it was definitely me that you smiled at before and some more as the time ticks by I'm sure I'll meet youI can't help but notice how you stand out from the crowd...
You see I don't, I don't want to sound too old, old fashioned and clichéd hey but wait...
This ray of sunshine's amazingBells and whistles, five star wine and dine...
Little Boy of 3 years cries he says Mummy where is Daddy why doesn't he come nor call us no more. What are you kissin' that man outside for, She says son you forgot excuse me, I was busy can't you see now look me in the eye and say sorry...
I thought that we agreed that it was over I thought that you and I already had this talk. When you gonna leave me alone you call me everyday. How long we gonna play this game, you're driving me insane...
Bumper to bumper I'll be fine, I'm not I'll make sure I'll text ya when I'm near Ya...
I wasn't spose'd to meet you as I remember on that day, I really don't know why but it just worked out that way. And would you excuse me with my casual approach I didn't expect to meet someone just like you and I didn't know what to say to you I guess I was just stuck for words...
Just the other day I had no way or clue we'd be here today in such a state. Aint it funny how, maybe not right now but later you'll see how life works itself out...
You didn't know this road would lead to a dead end. She said turn around and try again, "I know we're lost it's okay" I wish she threw the map away...
Now I'm glad to say that I feel good, knowing that you're happy understood it's really over you are movin' on Just make sure you don't do him wrong...
But don't think I am comparing myself to them, cause' I know I'm different but even then it makes me think...
I see this feels like a dream, to you everything seems too dizzy. You gotta' grab on to my shoulder and trust me and just hang on you'll see...
Told me you miss your man, twenty four seven but then, he's not here with, You spend all your dollars on the phone too much time alone well I'm going to that same place you want to go he won't mind if we hang. I'm a gentleman, you can trust me it'll be harmless but...
Hey how' you doin' where' you at these days. It's been a while I think it's time we had that drink I think about you almost every day. There's so much that I want to say...
You say you can't see it workin' I crossed the line and broke your trust. Driven your tank to empty, we can never get back what we've lost. Now I know I said things will be different at least a couple of times before. This time I really do mean it, But it's hopeless if you lock that door...
Here we go again, you're lying in the hospital bed. It's good to see you tooI gotta' say I much prefer your living room It's been a week, Nurse says you gotta eat you have to take your medicine...
And little did I know how but wow, that middle of the day brought me to you now...
Who thought I'd end up on the floor dance when I'm not the type to dance even sing after four or five drinks. Girl thanks for introducing this worldI can't believe you gotta leave...
Sweet little innocent Angel face, snuck out of her house for me tonight bet she'll be late, daddys little girls letting her hair down and from what she's told me she's found in her own mind a way for her to escape...
Made a point to try to not fight maybe do you right and behave, but it's hard to walk on egg shells let alone dance with the weight...
I can't read your mindI don't want to waste your time. Tell me straight face to face, don't run away anymor, eI'll give you some credit. Yes even my friends have said it I'm surprised we've gone this far into it...
Did we really have something going on, I'm not gonna stand here and try to analyse every nuance. And we won't get into whether we are willing to give me a chance, we've come too far and I thank you for that...
My friends near the exclusion zone, been there more than a year. She hasn't bought a Geiger counter yet like the politicians she doesn't care. She hasn't taken any test yet but know's it's probably not good...
She gave me a message the other day and told me hey, She's now off the mainland, hired a car to check the beaches out and about sunburnt but otherwise, doin' fine...
I bought a blue houseI figured out its waste of money payin' rent and our arguments. Did my head in, but I must have been insane 'cause I'm not the same, sick of all this pain...
They look at you and they accuse you of the truth you found. They don't condone you of the way you act when I'm around. They can't accept me they say you can definitely do much better than that here, you're worth better than that dear...
I couldn't sleep last night a thousand things on my mind. Butterflies in my stomach, I thought maybe I would get so nervous I would stumble the isle, leave my fly undone drop the ring or stutter...
For once I felt the weight had finally lifted. At least for a fraction on that day and as I walked I shook my head and drifted. Better late than never I thought hey...
Flew back to the snow now, dug your car out. Bought your books by the campus store.You sounded sad when you called feelin so bad you're alone...
What was all that about that night, must have been a while now I can't remember right, I could see that you were keen even seemed to me we were on to something...
'I think I know'
Could I offer you I want to do everything but before I go for what you'd like to know more -Well I guess it's now or never...
You've heard enough of my excuses I know it shows and no amount of time on our own won't let the problem go...
I can't figure you out, one day you tell me you're free and you're all about, Being honest to me and that it's over with him. I tell myself you know exactly what you are doing, you are in control. All I can do is wait for you to come around...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are important source of clinical stem cells for therapy, so dissecting the functional gene regulatory network involved in their self-renewal and proliferation is an urgent task. We previously reported that Ddx56 interacts with the core transcriptional factor Oct4 by mass spectrometry analysis in ESCs. However, the exact function of Ddx56 in ESCs remains unclear.
We investigated the role of Ddx56 in mouse ESCs (mESCs) through both gain- and loss-of-function strategies. The effect of Ddx56 on mESCs was determined based on morphological changes, involvement in the network of pluripotency markers (Nanog, Oct4, Sox2), and altered lineage marker expression. In addition, the role of Ddx56 in mESCs was evaluated by polysome fractionation, qRT-PCR, and co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). Finally, RNA sequencing was applied to explore potential network regulation by Ddx56 in mESCs.
We found that Ddx56 participated in ribosome assembly, as knockout or RNAi knockdown of Ddx56 led to ribosome dysfunction and cell lethality. Surprisingly, exogenous expression of C-terminal domain truncated Ddx56 (Ddx56 ΔC-ter) did not affect ribosome assembly, but decreased mESC proliferation by downregulatchanging. In terms of mechanism, Ddx56 interacted with the Oct4 and Sox2 complex by binding to Sox2, whereas Ddx56 ΔC-ter showed weaker interaction with Sox2 and led to retardation of mESC proliferation.
Ddx56 maintains ESC proliferation by conventional regulation of ribosome assembly and interaction with the Oct4 and Sox2 complex.
Em mammalian blastocysts [1, 2]. USCs proliferate infinitely withendoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm [3]. As a cell model for the study of early embryo development, ESCs are promising in the application of regenerative medicine [4,5,6].
Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog are three of the major pluripotent the maintenance of ESC properties [7]. By immunoprecipitation (IP) and mass spectrometry (IP-MS) analysis, many new pluripotency-associated factors were discovered [8]. The finding of thesence in ESCs, which is quite important to fulfill our knowledge about the potential of ESCs.
Nucleoli is a sub-nuclear region where ribosome assembly takes place. In ESCs, the nucleoli undergo dynamic mos [9, 10]. In addition, global mRNA translational levels are also altered in the heterogeneous mESCs [11, 12]. Most of the nucleolus proteins are essential [13], and some nucleolus proteins, like nucleolin or fibrillarin, are highly expressed in mESCs, regulating early development and mESC identity [14,15,16]. Knocking down of these genes affects ribosomal DNA transcription or ribosome [16,17,18,19]. Therefore, nucleolus proteins are important in ESC self-renewal and proliferation.
In our previous IP-MS analysis, nucleolus proteins nucleophosmin 1 (Npm1) and DEAD-box helicase 56 (Ddx56) were potential interactors of Oct4. Ddx56 belongs to the RNA helicase family. Genes of this family are widely expressed and participate in all, and mRNA decay [20,21,22]. In addition, RNA helicases also act on stem cell pluripotency or differentiation [23]. As a family member, Ddx56 is indispensable for the assembly of the West Nile virus in a RNA helicase activity-dependent manner [24,25,26]. Ddx56 is also identified as a constituent of free nucleoplasmic 65S preribosomal particles, suggesting it might play a role in the assembly of the large (60S) ribosomal subunit [27]. However, the function of Ddx56 in the regulation of ribosome assembly and its specific role in ESCs are not fully understood.
In this study, either Ddx56 knockout or knockdown in mouse ESCs (mESCs) led to ribosome assembly defects and cell lethality, whereas inducible overexpression of wildtype (WT) did not. These results suggested Ddx56 was essential for the ribosome assembly of mESCs. To explore its ribosome-independent function in mESCs, we overexpressed different Ddx56 truncated mutants in mESC lines. Thein mESCs led to the formation of notably smaller clones without affecting ribosome assembly. Further experiments showed that Ddx56 was an essential protein for mESC proliferation, which is dependent on its interaction with the Oct4/Sox2 complex.
The mouse ESC lines used were E14 and A17-2loxP mESCs (gift from Dr. Thomas P. Zwaka). Mouse ESCs were maintained under feeder-free conditions, on culture dishes coated with 0.1% gelatin (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were cultured in Knockout DMEM (Hyclone, Australia), 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma), 2 mM GlutaMAX, 0.1 mM(Sigma), 100 U/mL penicillin (Gibco), 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco), 1000 U/mL LIF (Millipore), 1 μM PD0325901 (Stemgent), and 3 μM CHIR99021 (Stemgent). 293T cells were from ATCC company (America) andExcell, Australi
Sequence encoding Cas9, murine Oct4, Sox2, Ddx56, and EGFP were cloned into pENTR. Ddx56 domain truncations were generated by overlap PCR on pENTR-Ddx56. Cas9, Oct4, Sox2, EGFP, Ddx56, and its domain truncations were ligased to pDEST27 or pBabe by gateway® LR clonase reaction (Thermo Fisher) for immunoprecipitation experiments. A17-2loxP mESCs have a doxycycline-inducible promoter and two loxP loci near HPRT gene. Cas9, Ddx56, and its domain truncations were ligated to p2loxP plasmid, then cotransfected with pSalk-Cre plasmid which codes cyclization recombination enzyme (Cre) into A17-2loxP mESCs by Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). Positive ESC clones were selected by G418 and detected by western blot after adding doxycycline for 48 h. A pair of gRNA oligonucleotides with 5′-CACC and 3′-AAAC overhang was synthesized, annealed, and ligased to vectors (px330, px458, plenti-gRNA1-BSD, and plenti-gRNA2-Hygro). To get inducible knockout Ddx56 cell lines, plenti-gRNA2-BSD and plenti-gRNA2-Hygro were transfected into A17-2loxP-Cas9 cells via retroviral transfection system. The Ddx56 gRNA sequences were as follows: gRNA1, GCCATTCCTCTGGCGCTGG; gRNA2, GTGGTCTGTGAGACAGAAG. Target sites of Ddx56 were PCR amplified using primersthen used in T7 endonuclease I (T7EI) cleavage assay.
Total RNA was isolated using phenol-chloroform. The following cDNA synthesis was performed with PrimeScript™ RT Reagent Kit (TaKaRa), and qRT-PCR using GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix (Promega) was performed using qPCR primers with ABI StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System and harvested 48 h after transfection. Cells were lysed in 1× NETN buffer (40 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP40, 1 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol, containing protease inhibitors). for 4 h at 4 °C. The immunoprecipitates were then eluted by SDS loading buffer. Whole cell lysates were also obtained by direct lysis of cells in SDS loading buffer.

Firstly, the cells were treat0 μg/mL in culture media for 5 min at 37 °C and washed once with 5 mL of ice-cold 1× PBS containing 100 μg/mL cycloheximide. Secondly, the cells were lysed with lysis buffer (140 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 4 U/μL RNase inhibitor, 20 mM DTT, 0.1 mg/mL cycloheximide, 10 mM RVC, 0.1% cocktail), and incubated on ice for 15 min. Then, cell lysate was centrifuged at maximum speed (> 13,000 rcf) at 4 °C for 5 min. At last, the lysate supernatant was carefully transferred to the linear 10 to 50% sucrose gradients and centrifuged at 36,000 rpm for 2 h at 4 °C using the SW41Ti rotor. The sample was analyzed with a fraction collector and UV detector.
After doxycycline treatment for 3 days, the cells were collected and seeded on a 15-mm microscope cover glasses for 12 h. The cells on glasses were fixed, washed twice with cold PBS, and were treated with PI and Hoechst for 15 min at dark place. Then, the cells on glasses were detected using a fluorescence microscope.
Cells were treated with or without Dox for 3 days, collected by centrifugation at 1200 rpm for 5 min, and washed twice with cold 1× PBS. Annexin V (5 μL) and PI (5 μL) were added and mixed gently and incubated in room temperature and dark place for 15 min. Then, tKit: Invitrogen Catalog no. V13241).
After doxycycline treatment for 6 day200 rpm for 3 min, and washed once with 1× PBS. The cells were resuspended with 70% ethanol and stored at 4 °C overnight. The cells were washed twice with 1× PBS in the second day, resuspended with 200 μL 1× PBS containing 2 μL RNase in 37 °C for 30 min, and incubated with PI at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL for 5 min on ice cell cycle stages.
Cells were seeded on 15-mm microscope cover glasses a day before the experiment(5% Triton-X, 20 mM HEPES, 3 mM MgCl2·6H2O, 300 mM sucrose), blocked (3% goat serum, New Zealand origin (16210072, Gibco, Thermo Fisher), 0.1% BSA in PBSen, H+L) (Thermo Fisher) and goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Thermo Fisher) at room temperature for 1 h. Nuclear staining was performed with DAPI. Antibodies for immunofluorescence are anti-Flag (rabbit) (GenScript A00170-40) and anti-Oct4 (mouse) (BD 611202).
A17-2loxP-Ddx56, Ddx56ΔC-ter, and GFP cells were cultured in a 24-well plate; each well contains 4000 cells. After 24 h, cells were treated with or without doxycycline. And cells were counted at 2, 4, and 6 days. Each type has three wells repeatsand treated with doxycycline for 48 h. The cells were harvested and dissolved in TRIzol for total RNA extraction and treated with DNase I (Ambion) to remove any potential contaminated DNA fraction. The following library generation and sequencing were conducted by Ruibo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. in Guangzhou. The RNA-seq reads were mapped to the UCSC mouse genes (mm10). Only the uniquely mapped reads were retained for analysis in our study. Fragment per kilobase per million mapped fragments (FPKM) and DE genperforming a two-way ANOVA and were defined as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001ole of Ddx56 in mESCs, we first generated doxycycline (Dox)-inducible Cas9 expression in A17-2loxP mESCs (iCas9 mESCs) as reported previously [28]. A17-2loxP mESC line carried the Tet-on system and the Cre/loxP recombination system. rtTA was inserted into the Rosa26 locus and the exchange cassette flanked by heterologous, self-incompatible loxP sites was designed downstream of a doxycycline (tetracycline)-responsive promoter (TRE) in the HPRT locus containing Cas9 gene. The iCas9 mESC line was generated by drug selection (Fig. 1a). Two gRNAs were designed targeting both the Ddx56 helicase ATP binding domain and C-terminal domain individually (Figure S1A). They were transfected into E14 mESCs to test the cleavage efficiency by T7 endonuclease 1 (T7E1) assay, and the results indicated both gRNAs could efficiently target the desired sites (Figure S1B). The two guide RNAs (gRNAs) were then cotransferred into the iCas9 mESCs through lentivirus carrying different drug resistance (Fig. 1b). Dox treatment induced Cas9 expression and finally generated the Ddx56 inducible knockout mESCs (iKO mESCs) by two gRNAs (Fig. 1c).
Cell cycle regulator Cdk1 is essential for cell growth [29]. We also established the Cdk1 iKO mESCs by infecting the iCas9 mESCs with a Cdk1 targeting gRNA. After treatment with Dox for 3 days, we found that Cdk1 iKO mESCs and Ddx56 iKO mESCs could not form normal colonies (Fig. 1c). Through propidium iodide (PI) staining, more PI-positive cells were observed in Ddx56 iKO mESCs (Fig. 1d). PI and Annexin V staining by flow cytometry were carried out. A higher percentage of Ddx56 iKO cells underwent apoptosis compared with the GFP iKO mESCs (46.4% vs. 26.1%, Fig. 1e).
It has been reported that Ddx56 exists in the 65S preribosomal particles [27]. Polysome fractionation was performed to determine whether Ddx56 iKO impaired ribosome assembly. The absorption peak of 60S ribosome subunit and 80S mature ribosome at 260 nm in Ddx56 iKO mESCs sharply decreased compared with GFP iKO mESCs (Fig. 1f). Therefore, cell lethality in Ddx56 iKO mESCs had been observed due to ribosome defection, indicating Ddx56 may be an essential gene.
To further verify these data, transient knockdown Ddx56 in mESCs was carried out using three small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Two siRNAs were able to effectively reduce Ddx56 levels (> 50%) (Figure S2A). Ddx56 knockdown also induced cell lethality (Figure S2B). We then performed qRT-PCR to examine the mRNA expression level of pluripotent markers including Oct4, Nanog, and Sox2, and various lineage markers including primitive endoderm (Gata4, Gata6, Sox7), endoderm (Sox17, Foxa2), mesoderm (Brachyury, Actc1), and ectoderm (Mash1, Nestin). However, the expression of these markers showed no obvious changes after Ddx56 knockdown, except for Gata6 and Mash1 (Figure S2C). Complete disruption of Ddx56 function quickly led to cell death, which might explain why levels of the pluripotent markers did not change in a short time.
To explore whether Ddx56 affected mESC proliferation, we generated Dox-inducible expression of 3× Flag-tagged Ddx56 in A17-2loxP mESCs (Ddx56 iOE mESCs) similar to iCas9 construction strategy as shown in Fig. 1a. The mouse Ddx56 protein has two conserved domains, helicase ATP binding domain and helicase C-terminal domain. We then constructed two domain truncations and established their inducible overexpression in cell lines (Ddx56 ΔATP iOE mESCs and Ddx56 ΔC-ter iOE mESCs) (Fig. 2a). As indicated by western blotting, full-length Ddx56, helicase ATP binding domain deletion of Ddx56 (Ddx56 ΔATP), and helicase C-terminal domain deletion of Ddx56 (Ddx56 ΔC-ter) were inducibly expressed in the Dox-treated ESCs (Figure S3A).
Next, we performed a colony formation assay using Ddx56 full length and truncations overexpressing cells. After treatment with Dox for 4 days, we found that cells with Ddx56 ΔC-ter overexpression resulted in smaller cell colonies, while Ddx56 full length and Ddx56 ΔATP overexpression formed normal colonies (Fig. 2b). We then further quantified colony size by measuring the average colony diameter. As shown in Fig. 2c, the average colony size in Ddx56 ΔC-ter treated with Dox was significantly smaller than that in any other group, suggesting Ddx56 ΔC-ter expression might affect ribosome function, mESC proliferation, or cell size. Further analysis showed that Ddx56 ΔC-ter expression did not affect ribosome polysome fractionation and cell size (Fig. 2d, S3B), and Ddx56 ΔC-ter mESCs treated with Dox showed decreased cell proliferation compared with Ddx56 full length expressing mESCs (Fig. 2e). According to the cell cycle profiling in mESCs, Ddx56 ΔC-ter mESCs treated with Dox showed an obvious increase in G1 phase populations and a concomitant decrease in S and G2/M phase populations, suggesting that overexpression of Ddx56 ΔC-ter led to cell cycle change (Fig. 2f). These data indicated that the smaller size of mESC clonies by Ddx56 ΔC-ter overexpression was partially mediated by cell cycle perturbation.
Given that Ddx56 ΔC-ter overexpression impaired mESC proliferation, not ribosome assembly, exploring the ribosome-independent function of Ddx56 in ESCs was necessary. We firstly detected the pluripotent genes and cell cycle genes by RT-PCR. There were no significant changes in some of these pluripotent genes, such as Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Klf4, and Foxd3 (Figure S4). To further explore the global transcriptome changes induced by Ddx56 ΔC-ter overexpression, we performed RNA sequencing analysis of Ddx56 iOE mESCs and Ddx56 ΔC-ter iOE mESCs treated with Dox for 2 days. Applying a cutoff threshold of fold change 2 (reads > 20), 190 genes were upregulated and 682 genes were downregulated in Ddx56 ΔC-ter overexpression mESCs compared to Ddx56 iOE mESCs. We then performed a Gene Ontology (GO). The upregulated DEGs were related to positive regulation of cell communicctivation (Fig. 3a). Downregulated DEGs were related to the regulation of cell cycle,(Fig. 3b). We further confirmedin upregulated DEGs (Gpc3, Fgf10, Chrnb2, Mt3) (Fig. 3c) downregulated DEGs (Bmi1, Egfr, Kdr, Kctd11, Klf5, Tgfbr3, Cd38) (Fig. 3d) by qRT-PCR assay.
Considering that Ddx56 was found in Oct4-related protein in mESCs by mass spectrometry, we then tried to confirm the interaction between Ddx56 and Oct4. We overexpressed Flag-Ddx56 in mESCs ant Ddx56 could co-localize with Oct4 in the nucleus (Figure S5). Then, we examined the interaction between Ddx56 and Oct4 by GST pulldown. The result indicated that Ddx56 could interact with Oct4, but their interaction was much weaker than the interaction between Sox2 and Oct4 (Fig. 4a). In ESCs, it is well known that Oct4 and Sox2 heterodimer regulates many key pluripotent-related genes, then we examined the interaction between Ddx56 and Sox2. We found that Ddx56 also interacted with Sox2, which was as strong as the Oct4 and Sox2 heterodimer (Fig. 4b). These data suggested Ddx56 might mainly interact with Sox2. Next, we sought to determine which domain of Ddx56 was required for the interaction with Sox2. Interestingly, both Ddx56 ΔATP and Ddx56 ΔC-ter truncations could interact with Sox2 by GST pulldown compared with Ddx56 WT (Fig. 4c, d). To further verify the interaction between Ddx56 ΔC-ter and Sox2, we purified His-tagged Sox2 protein from prokaryotic cells and His pulldown was performed using Ddx56 and Ddx56 ΔC-ter expressing cell lysate. The interaction between Ddx56 ΔC-ter and Sox2 was much weaker than the interaction of Ddx56 WT and Sox2 in vitro (Fig. 4f), suggesting loss of helicase C-terminal might decrease the interaction with Oct4/Sox2 complex and be the reason for Ddx56 ΔC-ter decreasing proliferation in mESCs.
It has been difficult to study the function of essential factors in stem cell maintenance, such as nucleolus localizing proteins which are involved in cell growth and survival [13, 18]. In this study, we confirmed that nucleolus localization of Ddx56 regulated ribosome assembly by loss-of-function assays. To identify ribosome-independent and stem cell-specific functions of Ddx56, we found that its helicase C-terminal domain was important in maintaining stem cell proliferation. Deletion of helicase C-terminal domain of Ddx56 did not affect ribosome assembly but decreased the interaction with the Oct4/Sox2 complex, resulting in ESC proliferation delay (Fig. 5).
RNA helicases are multifunctional proteins. Many of them participate in ribosome assembly, but they also have additional functions. For example, Ddx46 inhibits innate immunity [30] and Ddx5 inhibits reprogramming to pluripotency [31]. RNA helicases can also control miRNA biogenesis, thus repressing cell differentiation [23, 32,33,34,35,36]. Whether Ddx56 pin mESCs needs further investigation. Herein, based on the results that Ddx56 binds to the Oct4/Sox2 complex, we only focus on its specific function in the pluripotency maintenance of ESCs.
The Oct4/Sox2 complex and its related proteins are crucial for maintaining the proliferation and pluripotency in stem cells [8, 37]. Ddx56 was shown to interact with the Oct4/Sox2 complex. Moreover, we found that the Ddx56 and Sox2 interaction was much stronger than the interaction of Ddx56 and Oct4, compared with Sox2 and Oct4 interaction. Unexpectedly, Ddx56 ΔC-ter mutant showed a defective mESC phenotype of smaller clones and weaker interaction with Sox2. This result suggested that the C-terminal of Ddx56 was indispensable for the interaction with the Oct4/Sox2 complex. It was well known that Oct4 was the core partner for the Oct4/Sox2 complex [8], while the SOX2 activity is regulated by its binding partners, such as SOX2-ZEB1 interaction decreased SOX2 activity and SOX2-FOXA1 interaction increased SOX2 activity [38]. Thus, we hypothesize Ddx56 helicase C-terminal deletion may change the Sox2 interacting pattern and Sox2 activity, thus decreasing ESC proliferation.
Overexpression of Ddx56 ΔC-ter mutant downregulated several stem cell self-renewal-related genes, including Bmi1, Egfr, Kdr. Bmi1, and Egfr. Specifically, Bmi1 deficiency in neural stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells decreased self-renewal ability [39, 40]. When knocking down Egfr in mESCs by inhibitors or siRNAs, delay in cell proliferation was observed, and the cells would be arrested in the G0/G1 phase [41]. It was not clear whether Bmi1, Egfr, and Kdr were Sox2 target genes. In addition, knockdown of Ddx56 suspended cell cycle progression from G2M to G1 phase in colorectal cancer cell line [42]. These data were consistent in Ddx56 ΔC-ter expressing mESCs in our study.
Ddx56 truncation (the C-terminal deletion) significantly decreased the size of stem cell clones, indicating cell proliferation inhibition and an alteration of cell cycle. It has been reported that cell cycle-related genes control stem cell pluripotency and early differentiation [43, 44]. As core transcription factors, Sox2 and Oct4 bound mitotic chromatin of stem cells, regulating stem cell maintenance at mitosis-to-G1 (M-G1) transition [45]. In our study, we found that Ddx56 truncation (Ddx56 ΔC-ter) decreased the interaction with Sox2, suggesting loss of helicase C-terminal might be the reason for Ddx56 ΔC-ter-induced proliferation inhibition in stem cells/Sox2 complex.

Melbourne to Brussels x 2 with Dr Bisanga - Hair Transplant Patients - Hair Transplant section - Hairloss Experiences Hair Loss Forum
Posted: Sat Dec 10th, 2016 09:28 am
1992: I had my first strip procedure in 1992 when I was 22 years old with Dr Barry White here in Melbourne Australia. I am now 46 years old. (1992 was almost pre internet, so research was very limited.) I had 2 or 3 procedures with Dr White. I'm not sure how many grafts in total, but by today’s standards, the results were poor.
2005: Around 2005 I had another procedure with Dr Jenifer Martinick, during my consultation with Dr Martinick, I was told this would be last strip procedure as my donor hair was very limited. In ~
2006: I had strip revision again with Dr Martinick, the idea of this was to reduce my scar so I was able to cut my hair shorter.
During my surgeries in Australia, I would have had around 3500 grafts transplanted in total, but to me it looked like only about 1500. A few years ago I started to do some research online and was very impressed by the results people were getting with the latest hair transplant techniques. I then found “Hair Loss Experiences” and started looking into reputable surgeons. My donor hair, being very limited and strip no longer being an option, I was looking for a surgeon who had the expertise in performing both FUE and Body Hair Transplants. After some extensive research I managed to find a few doctors in different countries that I felt could address my specific needs. My home being in Melbourne Australia made it difficult for me, both geographically and economically, to travel to a few other countries for consultations. I decided the best way around this was to arrange to meet two of my selected doctors at the ISHRS convention in Malaysia. The consultations were for October of:
2014: The doctors were Dr Jose Lorenzo and Dr Christian Bisanga. They both have an excellent reputation world wide and also on this forum. My first consultation was with Dr Jose Lorenzo followed by Dr Bisanga. After much deliberation I chose
Dr. Bisanga. I found him to be more approachable and thorough in the consultation, and also felt he was more comfortable with body hair transplants and a lot more optimistic.
In my long journey with hair transplantation of the years I would highly recommend travelling to any of the conventions held worldwide. Here you will have the opportunity to meet with some of the very best practitioners in hair restoration in the world, all in one place! Having decided on Dr. Bisanga for my surgery I took the leap and booked my surgery.
I arranged for 3 weeks leave from work. I flew to Brussels. The flight was around 26 hours in duration ~ Melbourne to Singapore, Singapore to Dubai, Dubai to Brussels.
2015: End of March ~ I checked into the Hotel Catalonia in Brussels around lunchtime on the Saturday, I pretty much slept most of the time until my first day of surgery on the Monday. I arrived at 8am sharp as requested, filled out the paperwork and had a quick consultation with the Doctor. I changed into a gown and had some photos taken. The time had finally arrived and I was ready for my:
‘DAY ONE’ of surgery ~ 1200 FUE head hair.
‘DAY TWO’ of surgery ~ 700 grafts from Head, 557 from Beard and 335 from Chest.
I found day two a little more difficult. The procedure started at 10am and ended around 8pm. The beard hair went into my strip scar, and I found this part of the procedure to be the only uncomfortable part of the whole surgery. It was late in the day and I was beginning to feel a little restless. In my opinion FUE is a walk in the park compared to strip. Healing time is so much faster.
My first procedures with Dr. Bisanga were complete! I was ready to fly back home.
I was given a black bandanna to wear and a letter from BHR, explaining that I just had surgery, in case I was questioned by customs. I skipped through passport control and customs without a problem.
I was very happy with the outcome of the first surgery and returned 12months later..
2016: March ~ Procedure: 1217 FUE grafts and 890 beard hair.
On this trip I returned home around 4 days before the Brussels airport bombing and security was a lot higher this time around. I was questioned on arrival on my reasons for visiting Brussels and had to provide documents of my hotel reservations and credit cards details. On leaving when going through security they asked me to remove the bandanna. I showed them the letter and was subsequently taken to a private room to show I wasn’t hiding anything.
I wanted to share a little bit of my story here on “Hair Loss Experiences” as it has provided me with not only a lot of information in solving my hair loss problems but also in providing a support network for myself and others in my situation. This whole ‘hair loss experience’ can be a very traumatic experience and it’s comforting to know that “Hair Loss Experiences” and other reputable hair loss forums are out there in support of our hair loss journey.
As you can see from the photos of my original surgery, it wasn’t pretty.
NOW: I can go out in public without wearing a baseball cap and not feel so self-conscious.
I would like to thank DR. BISANGA and his TEAM. It’s a very emotional journey, as I’ve already mentioned, and travelling across the other side of the world to have surgery doesn’t make it any easier. DR. BISANGA and his TEAM looked after me very well, and I am extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend
Dr. Bisanga and his team. Thank you to STEVEN and DANIEL from BHR for answering ALL MY questions and for guiding me through the whole process.
I would also like to thank the Hair Loss Experiences. There is a lot of information on here detailing everyone’s experiences… It makes it a lot easier to find a suitable doctor.

Thanks for joining and sharing your story. You`ve certainly been around a while in Hair Transplant terms. It`s a shame the internet wasn`t around when you were 22, but like you, lots of us made the same mistakes way back then.
However, it`s good to hear Dr. Bisanga did great work on both occasions, it certainly looks very good, allowing you to lead a happy life going forward knowing your hair is great. Stephen and Daniel are great guys too, always helpful.
Good riddance to that baseball cap.
Posted: Sat Dec 10th, 2016 08:01 pm
Thoroughly enjoyed reading your story. Dr Bisanga and crew have definitely turned it around for you, your hair looks great. It'll be nice to relax and not worry anymore.
Posted: Sat Dec 10th, 2016 08:31 pm
oh dear, Dr Martinick! you have been through the mill, glad to see you got the result you deserved in the end, looks great now!

Thanx guys for the comments.
One of my concerns was scarring from the body hair donor sites. It really is amazing how quickly, and how well the beard hair site heals. The chest hair did take a lot longer, but also healed well with no visible scaring to the naked eye.
Posted: Wed Dec 14th, 2016 07:08 am
Hi Anthony, do you have pictures of your body extraction areas.? I`m considering utilising this source but white dot scarring was a concern.
Posted: Wed Dec 14th, 2016 07:04 pm
Good to hear the body FUE extractions healed well.
Posted: Fri Dec 16th, 2016 05:14 am
Great turn around for you.
You look great now.
Posted: Thu Dec 29th, 2016 03:46 am
Hell is a journey you've been through. Thankfully it's ended well for you.

6 Things To Consider Before Buying A Cool Kids Jeep
Toys are usually a good companion for the kids. Several kids may fancy cool toys, particularly the jeeps, for the jeeps look pretty cool. When it comes to choosing a cool jeep for the child, there are a few factors that come to play.
Safety is of paramount importance when you choose the best kid’s jeeps. Sometimes the jeeps may cause forms of risk, like colliding with obstacles. Therefore, before buying a cool kid’s jeep, you should check out the fundamental safety equipment, including a safety belt, helmet, double lockable door design, and more. Check if both front and rear wheels are equipped with a spring suspension system to ensure a safe and smooth driving experience.
Touch the parts of it that children’s hands and legs may touch to check whether there are sharp points, sharp edges, and protrusions. Or plastic burrs or exposed screw tips may cause harm to children.
Besides, it’s necessary to confirm the materials of the kid’s jeep from the seller. Generally speaking, most kid’s jeeps in the market are made of high-quality PP materials, which is a non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless milky-white highly crystalline polymer with excellent comprehensive properties.
Some jeeps may utilize the ABS material, that is, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene. Also called ABS resin, it refers to the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. It is a thermoplastic polymer structural material with high strength, good toughness, and easy processing and molding. With high gloss, the kid’s jeeps look more appealing and attractive.
When purchasing an electric jeep for the child, parents should pay attention to whether the plastic parts of the kid’s jeep appear dull or uneven. It mostly results from the merchants using secondary materials and adding excessive plasticizers to reduce costs.
There is a variety of jeeps designed for the children in the market, different types are suitable for different ages. Consequently, parents are supposed to select the best one according to their children’s age.
As we can see, now an increasing number of kid’s jeeps have FM radio. Several can play music, which may help to add more fun to children’s driving experience. However, in light of the sound, there is a standard. At present, some children’s jeeps have exceeded the standard. Here is a reminder that parents should not blindly pursue cool sound effects and loud volume when buying kid’s jeeps. Too sharp tones, powerful bass, or excessive volume will cause irreversible hearing damage.
The maximum speed of the kid’s jeeps should not surpass 8 km/h. Plenty of kid’s jeeps have a high or low-speed switch in the control panel. Parents should ask the seller about the maximum speed out of the safety considerations. How to control the speed also count. Owing to the suitable age for the kid’s jeeps is between 3 to 6 years old. Children at this age have no idea of the speed. So, parents should be clear about it.
Check if it is with a sturdy steel frame that supports up to 130 pounds of weight. Plus, ask if the interior features smooth contours and rounded edges are capable of protecting against cuts and scratches – and the rugged, wide-tread tires to ensure safe travels. Have an idea of its off-road style wheels and tires to see what kind of road they are suitable for. Usually, the brick road, asphalt road, and boardwalk are available. What’s more, the weight capacity, parent controller, controller battery, charge time, and run-time are other vital elements that you should know.
In conclusion, these factors matter. Just consider them before you buy kid’s jeeps. With more measurements and patience, the child will have a more joyful and happier childhood.

When Marco Livingstone’s book was first published in 2009, Andrew Lambirth gave it a rave review in The Art Newspaper under the catchy heading ‘Pop art Peter perfectly pitched: This monograph on Sir Peter Blake is the defining book on the English artist’. We launched the book at Tate Britain in the early summer, with artist and author in conversation inside the gallery while Peter Blake’s ‘art bus’ – a mobile double-decker gallery and entertainment space designed by the artist – sat parked outside. At the end of the talk and book-signing, we packed into the art bus for the party. In the whimsical, Pop-tinged world of Peter Blake, the art bus rolls on.

Classmate's scribbles became her subject matter
Written By: WCT Newsroom | Apr 3rd 2008 - 12am.
We'of "Criminal Minds.'' The episode is called "A Higher Power'' and is written by Michael Udesky.
The television writer contacted Treyce d'Gabriel, a 1982 graduate of Willmar Senior High School and a former resident of Olivia. She is the adopted daughter of the late Bud and Audrey Geier of Olivia.
Today, d'Gabriel is the owner of the Center of Forensic Profiling in Avondale, Ariz. She is also a prolific author on the topic of handwriting analysis. d'Gabriel said much of her professional work is devoted to using her skills in handwriting analysis to help law enforcement investigators.
Reached by telephone, d'Gabriel said she is eager to see the upcoming episode of Criminal Minds. But like the rest of us, she doesn't have a clue as to how the show will play out. She said the writer tapped her knowledge of the science of handwriting analysis, but offered no insights into how it would be used in the show.
According to CBS, the show's Behavioral Analysis Unit is calledd'Gabriel said the writer discussed the analysis of suicide notes with her.
No matter what the fictitious television drama may feature, it's a safe bet to say that it is probably no match for the real-life investigations that d'Gabriel has seen in her work. Her experience has ranged from being contracted by the defense team for Michael Jackson to a case where she warned a woman that her husband could brutally kill her. One year later, he did.
In one case, d'Gabriel said she helped investigators identify a bank employee who stole . The thefts had totaled over $1 million, said d'Gabriel.
She said our handwriting is very revealing about our personality traits, and consequently can be very telling about what we are capable of doing.
Our handwriting is also as unique as our fingerprints, she said.
d'Gabriel has been paying attention to what our handwriting reveals since she was 10 years old and growing up in Olivia. One of her father's close friends from his days in the military and a frequent visitor was Charles Stahl, owner of the San Francisco School of Handwriting Analysis.
"Uncle Charlie'' as he was known to d'Gabriel introduced her to the science of handwriting analysis, and became her mentor for years. d'Gabriel said she learned how to analyze handwriting by keeping the notes and letters she received from her classmates. She separated them in two shoeboxes, one for those with kind messages and the other for mean-spirited missives.
Stahl showed her how to analyze the writings not for the content of the words, but for the mechanics of the writing itself. How a person slants letters, spaces words, and makes the loops and shapes of various letters all tell something about the writer's personality, according to d'Gabriel.
She also cautions that handwriting analysis only tells so much. She watched one popular television crime drama in which a handwriting "expert" made conclusions that are really not possible at all. It upset her enough to contact CBS and voice her complaint.
She said the popular image of handwriting analysis ranges from those who lump it together with reading tea leaves and palms, to those who believe the science is almost all-revealing.
d'Gabriel said the science of handwriting analysis is often misunderstood, and sometimes abused. There is no licensing system for forensic handwriting analysts. The Internet makes it possible for anyone to hang out a shingle and pretend to be an expert, she warned.
This can make it all very difficult for consumers who are looking for handwriting analysts who can offer genuine help. She makes a point of listing her references and clients -- including a long list of law enforcement agencies -- to help consumers who want to analyze her abilities.

1 Rating </s> Britain is full
The facts reveal that Britain is actually empty of people, with a surplus of land. Facts show us that wy. Cramming the population into a small percentage of the land ratchets up land prices by creating an artificial land shortage. The 1947 Town & Country planning act maintains this imbalance of land usage. There is clearly propaganda given out by the British media of immigration and running short of land.
Oh, it is, is it?[edit]
Britain's emptiness can be simply demonstrated by reference to the following handy statistics:[1]
- Only 7.65% of the land mass of the United Kingdom is settled, including gardens and open green spaces.
- 70% of the land is owned by 0.66% of the population.
- A building plot, the land, now constitutes between half to two- thirds of the cost of a new house.
- Average dwelling contains 2.4 people.
- 77%
- ThIn 2006 there were 75,000 empty homes in London,[3] 11,000 in the Bristol area,[4] and 87,000 in Scotland.[5] In 2013 there were an estimated 845,000 empty homes throughout England.[6]
The UK is only ranked in the 50s worldwide; if you count states with at least 9 million people they miss the top 10[7] (beaten by both Belgium and the Netherlands). This poor showing is largely due to Scotland and Wales letting the side down. England particularly beats out Belgium although the Netherlands remains ahead.
Something that is often linked to this sentiment is the problem of demand outstripping suppleven though this is from cuts, failure to invest in new schools and hospitals, and insufficiently rapid responsiveness of central government funding levels to migration trends, and not to immigration. Indeed, the NHS would collapse overnight without the immigrants who form an essential part of its staff.
The land cover of Great Britain is 23.5m hectares. Taken from the Office of National Statistics, in 2002, usage was as follows[11]:

Move the platform before the Quattro can place a tile! Hardest. Game. Ever.
There's a good reason automation is spreading to every aspect of manufacturing. Robots like the Quattro are simply too fast and too precise for humans to contend with. Sure, the competition in the video above would have been closer if the platform had moved faster, but then you're really talking about machine vs. machine. A human moving the platform around by hand would have been cool, but possibly very bloody if the Quattro took a misstep (unintentionally of course). The bottom line is that when it comes to simplified and repetitive tasks there's really no beating robotic prowess. Think you could defeat the Quattro? You can't. But if you need further evidence I'll leave you with this video of the bot in its real world job. Give it time, and robots are likely to replace humans at every menial industrial task. Automation is here, it's staying, get used to it.

Due to digital rights limitations and contractual agreements taken up with content providers and media servers around the world, the type of content that is available on Netflix from country to country varies greatly. And, it is widely believed that the Netflix USA catalogue is the best option of them all.
Netflix is notoriously good at blocking attempts by users to circumvent its geo-blocking algorithms. The Netflix servers identify the IP address of every device connecting to the media servers and if those IPs are not registered to a physical US address Netflix will send an error message letting users know that the use of a VPN is not allowed.
To get past the VPN detection software, only the best VPNs will suffice. Netflix identifies IP addresses used by many VPN services and blacklists them so that users cannot utilize them. Some VPNs, however, update the IPs they use for Netflix on a continual basis so that users can view their favourite content whenever they want, from wherever you want.
Once you select your VPN to access Netflix USAconnected.
Be sure that when you connect you have selected the US as your virtual location. When the connection has been established, go into the settings on your preferred VPN provider and ensure that all available security and privacy measures have been activated.

Meet Asir Saeed at the poster session at the NeurIPS WorIn th. </s> FREE Resources For Learning Italian!
Could you learn Italian in months? Or could it take much longer? Let’s consider the factors which could affect the speed at which you learn…
- It’s NOT TRUE that children learn faster or better than adults, so if you’re not a pre-schooler, that’s just fine!
- It’s also NOT TRUE that you have to have a great teacher or go to an expensive school. Think of the multi-lingual camel drivers you may have met while visiting the pyramids… do you think they had great teachers?
- It’s also NOT TRUE thatnecessarily speeds things up. Lots of people in the United States have lived there for years but don’t speak English, for example. And I spent years living in Italy before picking up more than the very basics.
- Being a native Spanish or French speaker is a huge bonus for learning Italian as the languages are SO similar. Now I know Italian, I can pick up a book in French and more or less read it. I often have conversations with people who are speaking Spanish (don’t know a word of the language) but who I can understand with little difficulty.
- Time to study. This is a big one. Realistically, if you have a full-time job and a family, that’s likely to be a brake on your progress. Whereas if you’re young, or on a sabatical, you’ll have plenty of time to do your homework and can spend your days hanging around with classmates practising what you learn. Which is a help.
- Having studied a foreign language before. It’st tk!
- Being a native speaker of a language that really isn’t similar to Italian…. A native English speaker, or a speaker of any Asian language, is going to have a lot harder time than a Spanish or French native speaker. That sucks, but it’s true.
- Getting fed-up quickly. Ie If you’re a control freak who hates looking stupid, well this might not be for you.
- Bad learning choices. s. Message? Choose a competent school to study at.
And eunicate in Italian.n

Everything we touch in our daily lives is made up of elements. There are 92 elements that occur naturally, and in most cases, the human senses cannot recognize these elements when they are present in a compound. If, for example, we could always recognize what something is made of, there would be no such thing as "fool's gold" (a natural combination or iron and sulfur called pyrite). Because we have difficulty identifying these relatively pure compounds, it's not surprising that when rock or soil contains only a very small amount of an element we are incapable of recognizing the element's presence.
Gold. Using only our vision, pyrite is easily confused with gold, so much so that the common name for pyrite is "fools gold." [69k]
Using analytical chemistry, we can even determine trace elements (elements present at very low levels) at. It's difficult to comprehend the concentration of a substance at this low a level. To get a mental picture, imagine an average 3-bedroom home. It would take about 1 million marbles to cover the floors of the home. One part per million would be represented by just one marble among all the other marbles. For that same marble to represent one part per billion, however, it would take 20 football fields covered with marbles.

Chris Evans as Captain America with the same costume as in "Age Of Ultron"
Rumor: Is Asa Butterfield The New Spider-Man?Is Matthew McConaughey The New Green Goblin?
Many names have been thrown around as the potential new Spider-Man and according to reports, it now sounds like Asa Butterfield is the front runner to don the mask. Asa Butterfield is best known from the films "Hugo" and "Ender's Game." A definite plus for him is that he is 18 but he looks even much younger and that is what Marvel and Sony are looking for. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something official in the next few weeks since "Captain America: Civil War" is filming, and although not officially announced, it is rumored "Civil War."

Hallmark Cards said it intends to acquire the 10% of Crown Media Holdings it doesn’t already own for $175 million, according to a filing with the SEC.
Crown Media, which operates the Hallmark cable TV channels, will become part of a privately held company at $5.05 a share, slightly above the stock’s closing price Tuesday.
Hallmark said a letter informing Crown about the transaction was delivered to Crown Media’s directors on Tuesday. “Hallmark has confidence in the company’s current management and they will continue to lead the Company and its employees and manage the day to day operations at its current office locations.”
The story was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
In the past two years, Crown’s shares have doubled as the company increased ad revenue by launching a series of successful original family-friendly shows.
Crown’s minority shareholders have often complained that while the company’s operations have improved, their stock holdings have not appreciated as much as they’d like. Going private buys out the minority shareholders.
In the letter, Hallmark Cards said it “intends to operate Crown, and its use of the highly recognized Hallmark brand in the entertainment industry, to strengthen the Hallmark brand across all of the Hallmark businesses. Hallmark also intends to strengthen the link between Crown’s channels and Hallmark’s businesses.”
With Crown as a wholly-owned subsidiary, “Hallmark will be able to control Crown’s content decisions and potential monetization paths, and will have greater flexibility to respond to the many risks and challenges of the rapidly changing cable and entertainment landscape and protect its substantial investment in Crown,” Hallmark said.
“Hallmark will be able to direct Crown’s business and make all of those decisions in light of what is best for Hallmark as a whole, without being constrained by public, minority stockholders at Crown. Hallmark also anticipates a decrease in costs over time associated with being a public company, and the elimination of burdens on Crown’s management associated with public reporting and other tasks resulting from Crown’s public company status,” the letter said.

"Three Great Teachers"hat's ab!
The long-term study was a painful challenge, researcher Pierre DeRien told me in a phone interview. "We had to create a control group of perfectly matched children, and in at least two dozen cases that meant we had to deny identical twins the decent housing, nutrition, medical care and personal attention that their siblings were receiving."
"Policing that was tough," he said with what sounded like a rueful laugh. "We often had to intervene to make sure one twin didn't share his meal or his warm clothing with his sibling, but research comes first. Frankly, some parents were angry that they had to choose between children, kind of a Sophie's Choice, but I guess they realized that having one kid well off was better than none."
Wasn't that a little bit like a TV cameraman filming a drowning person instead of jumping in to save him, I asked Dr. DeRien?He was silent for a long minute, perhaps embarrassed, but then recovered. "Science comes first," he said, "And our findings will end up saving thousands, perhaps millions of children, so sacrificing those few hundred in the control group was necessary…and right."
I asked Dr. DeRien about the policy implications of his findings. Specifically, was he now calling for decent housing, medical care, nutrition, clothing for the estimated 25 million U.S. children now growing up in poverty?
"Oh, no," he replied. "All we did was study what happened over three years to 2300 children when we gave them what is the birthright of middle class and upper class children. I'm seeking funding so I can repeat the study for another three years, this time with at least 25,000 children in the study and another 25,000 in the control group."
't wait three more years, can they?
10 thoughts on "Three Years Is All It Takes"
I've always maintained that, instead of enacting No Child Left Behind, Congress should have passed the following three bills: No Child Goes to Bed Hungry, No Child Goes without Medical Care, and No Child is the Victim of Violence. If we can be "aspirational" when it comes to schools, why can't we be equally asiprational when it comes to other vital social concerns?
Whew. I'!In any case we don't actually need a study, do we?
Jn'My Pierre, entirely fictitious, has the last name of "de rien," meaning in French "It's nothing." I was attempting satire. Perhaps I should keep my day job?Oh, wait, I'm retired and don't have a day job. Uh oh…

Twitter TV to the rescue
January 16thShows like Q & A could barely imagine a world with it, and Reality TV just loves it.
Social media comment, and in particular the brevity of Twitter, have lent themselves well to showing viewer engagement.
Tony Broderick, Twitter'
""So let's say you're tuned into the television tonight, you could go onto the product and see all the metrics happening in real time. On top of that there are reports that are generated, kind of like the Overnights."
In the US all four commercial networks are on board, with a weekly top ten of unique audience and top shows and is expected to be followed here.
"'," says Broderick.
"It doesn't C's New Years Eve broadcast or Ben Elton'"It's But it's'opt-in / opt-out' service like Teletext.
"It's b'e," he says.
"They'"A lot of producers and networks don't , who previously worked for FremantleMedia, recalls a deliberately-ambiguous #thatdress hashtag used for Dami Im on The X Factor.
"" he recalls.
"It 's not necessarily the show's responsibility to say 'what'.
"I'less is more' approach.
"Now they look for the key moments to create the conversation and save the tweets that really give something. I'm a strong believer that they really shouldn't just be serving the audience actively engaged in tweeting along, but the passive audience as well. There should be some sort of editorial pay-off, such as a joke or re-emphasising a storyline. There should be something that helps the broader audience too."

I can't stand tweets on the screen hence why one of the reasons i decide not to watch those programs.Their will always be positive messages put on TV as well,so who cares really.Let people Tweet away privately but get them off our screens.Ratings will always give advertisers the best idea.Looking at Twitter it would just confuse the advertisers even more i bet the TV networks would say exactly that

Skoda Fabia 81TSI — $19,490 drive-away
Yes, another light car. The thing is, right now with light car sales in the doldrums, a lot of car-makers are incentivising.
The flagship Skoda Fabia 81TSI with seven-speed DSG automatic is going for $19,490 drive-away at present, a saving of more than $3000 over RRP plus on-road costs.
Still, as you can read in our Fabia reviews here, it’s one of the best light cars you can buy. Note, you can nab the less powerful 66TSI manual Fabia for $16,490 if you like swapping your own cogs.
All Fabias get five-star safety, autonomous brakes, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a reversing camera as standard. Good get.

This summer looks a bit different for all of us and learning how to spend free time has been a challenge. How has your family been spending their days?
A movie day. If rain sets in or if it gets too hot, bring the fun indoors, get cozy and hunker down with some movies. Whether it's something you've seen a hundred times or maybe something new, who doesn't love a good movie day?
Grill out. Who says you have to wait for a holiday to turn on the grill and cook up some burgers?Today can be a special occasion too, for no reason at all!
Times right now are hard and finding something you enjoy is more important now than ever. Time with family, a day outside, or just a break from the everyday routine can do wonders, and if you need a break from cleaning the house, Pink Shoe Cleaning Crew can take care of the mess at home. So kick back, enjoy a nice day, you're doing great!

Very interesting post. Canada is currently in a Federal Election and climate change is one of the key issues. The debating of this climate crisis falls either as it needs immediate action or it only needs very modest action if any. I’m reminded of the joke about onanism. ‘’Johnny if you keep doing that you will go blind.” ‘’Oh okay then, I’ll keep doing it until I need glasses.”

Objection 3: If there be precedence among them it is either according to nature, or according to their sin or punishment. But it is not according to their nature, for subjection and service do not come from nature but from subsequent sin; neither is it according to sin or punishment, because in that case the superior demons who have sinned the most grievously, would be subject to the inferior. Therefore there is no precedence among the demons.

Class was convenient, timely and organized. I will use this class in the future as well as refer others in need.
Chamber of Commerce Weatherford says:
This was the best class I have taken. Melissa taught well going over all details and emphasizing correctness while practicing the skills. I did feel more knowledgeable when I left. The environment was conducive to learning, manikins and necessary tools for learning were supplied. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone who needs BLS certification. I will be back in two years.
Thank you for the addition of more BLS classes to accommodate my schedule.
The course was great and was very thorough. Melissa did a great job explaining everything and answering any questions I had. I will definitely send people her way if they need a class for CPR!
Thank you for the fantastic hands on class. I will defintly refer. See you in a couple of years :)
Class was easy to schedule, Instructor was prompt to answer emails, class started promptly and covered all the material. Instructor made the class quick and painless and made sure that the content was understood.
My wife and I very much enjoyed your course yesterday. It was tightly organized, efficiently delivered, and all our questions were answered. We are now well prepared to competently and successfully manage a wide range of medical situations and emergencies.
The class was informative and easy to understand. Thank you.
Enjoyed the course! Thanks for an informative session!
I thought it was a very good program. The instructor was very real and relatable with a good sense of humor.
We greatly appreciate the CPR class we had at our office last Friday. Mr. Martinez and his associate were extremely professional but relaxed which allowed our employees to feel at ease during the training. The feedback I received from my coworkers were nothing but great. A+ to you and your staff. We look forward to scheduling a second class with Medders CPR soon. Thank you again and we look forward to the next class.
Great class and very welcoming. Thank you!
Best CPR/First Aid training ever received. Hands on training and the one on one instructor per student was outstanding. Everything no complaints, would recommend to anyone.
I would say you get an A+
The class was great! So happy I took it.
Melissa, I was very pleased with your class. I told my husband that it was the best one that I had ever taken. I like a small group. More one on one is available. I would highly recommend your class.
I really enjoyed the class it was very informative. The instruction was very thorough and pacing of the class was just right. I felt very confident upon completion. Thank you for offering this class on a weekend to better fit my needs.
Great class! Thanks for taking the time to recertify our members.
Great job guys! Thanks so much for your patience in class with this ol' shaky nervous girl!
I enjoyed my learning experience. You did a great job making sure I was doing everything correctly. Helpful tips were great as well.
This was the best CPR course I have ever taken. It was efficient without feeling stuffy. I enjoyed meeting Melissa and Amador they were both great at relating the importance of CPR in everyday life examples. I will be using them again in the funture.
Great job! The class was concise with just the right practice on skills. Thanks.
Class was great and Melissa was very knowledgeable and professional.
Great class good instructors I am ready to save a life.
Fantastic class, loved the hands on learning and being able to perfect each skill before moving on. Able to attend class next day was a huge plus. Thank you.
I will be back. Good and informative class. I feel more competent after this class than after any other class I have taken in the past.
Would highly recommend this class! A very informative class. All topics were covered in a timely manner. All questions were answered and attention to each participant was given. I feel very confident with all the information. Thank you Melissa for a job well done!
The 1st CPR class I actually retained and got to ask questions! Very pleasant, open and inviting environment. Very thorough instructor; that you actually learn with!
Great! Started on time, ended on time. The training was thorough and the trainer was competent and pleasant.
Awesome instructor. Highly recommend. Precise and informative. This is my 5th renewal and the best instructor I've had.

1. The Perry Campaign Gets a Life Line
was one moment in the CBS News debate that has not gotten a lot of attention and should get a great deal of attention.CBS News asked Rick Perry about Pakistan. Perry responded that Pakistan is not being controlled by its political leaders, but rather by its secret police and military. Likewise, Pakistan should not get foreign aid unless it can show it is our friend and right now it looks to be anything but our friend.You can hear Rick Perry in his own words right here.This was followed up by perhaps the most dangerous and willfully naive foreign policy view I have ever heard expressed by Republicans. Michele Bachmann had to disagree with Rick Perry and, by the way, Newt Gingrich. Rick Santorum chimed in to agree with Michele Bachmann.We can call it the Bachmann-Santorum policy. It is to the left of Barack Obama. And if it is implemented, it will see the world turn into a far more dangerous place with many of us getting killed.Please click here for the rest of the post’”O””Please click here for the rest of the post.

According to the Los Angeles Times, with the exception of existing in locked freezers in Russia and U.S. labs, the smallpox virus was eradicated in 1978.

Men hva er en prosjektbeskrivelse? Det sier seg vel igrunn selv? Mer spesifikt er det en beskrivelse av bakgrunn, mål, omfang (og begrensninger), metode, etiske vurderinger, forventede resultater, og en plan for arbeidet. For meg virker det litt søkt å skulle svare så mye i detalj før jeg er skikkelig i gang, men jeg skjønner jo at man må reflektere litt. Jeg vet ikke helt om dette dokumentet regnes som offentlig materiale, men jeg tenker nå uansett å sakse det "viktigste" innholdet her, sånn for å gi en oversikt over hva jeg driver med.
Geospatial Data has been created and managed since the first maps where made (Garfield, 2013). The impact of the digital revolution on this field have far-ranging consequences. A map is but one of several representations of the underlying digital data. The digitalization of the map-making process thus involves several shifts. One is the de-coupling of the printed map from the actual data, another is the fact that geospatial data can be used for more than printing maps.

Fastmail not taking security seriously?
About three years ago I figured I'd had enough Google-control of my online communication and was looking for an alternative email-provider. A friend of mine recommended Fastmail, which seemed like a good solution: Great web-interface, Android app, and the possibility of using an address from my own domain.
I signed up and have been using Fastmail since (with a redirect from my Gmail-address). The service has had some small issues (mainly the Android app being anything but "fast"), but overall I've been a happy customer.
Yesterday I figured out that I wanted to test 1password, moving away from LastPass after the recent security issues. In this process I decided to use the "generate password" functionality in 1password to set a new, strong password for my Fastmail account. Before I did that I made sure to set the "Account Recovery" email and phone number, so that if I made en error I would still be able to access my email.
And I was right. Indeed I made an error. I copied the generated password from 1password and pasted it into the change password dialog on fastmail. This logged me out, and then I managed to copy something else, removing the password from my clipboard. Then I managed to do something stupid in the 1password app, and my generated, 30-character, completely random, password was lost. I had managed to lock myself out of my email-account! Stupid! But hey, I have a recovery-email, right?
So I headed to the "Lost password screen" and typed in my gmail.address (to which I 10 minutes before had recieved a confirmation mail from fastmail).
Thanks for the verification details.
Wasn't my backup email set, or was there some problems regarding this feature? I am quite sure that I set my backup email yesterday.
Did you set this address from the Password & Security screen? If that is the case, you had set the "Recovery email address". This is currently different from the backup email. Backup email can be set from the backend only.
Add your mobile phone number(s) and backup email address to the recovery options on the Password & Security screen. If you get locked out, we can use this to help v.
But who knows? If they've been delaying this for 8 months now, I'm not confident that this will be fixed anytime soon, and that the "Password & Security screen" will continue to be a non-functioning, misleading page that does nothing but confuse the users. If the information isn't used, don't give the user the impression that it will. I can understand that not everything can be implemented at once, but have the balls to admit it, don't lie to me. And about security issues? This is talentless!
So, to recap: The "Password & Security screen" of Fastmail is a sham. The information used there is not used. In order to regain access to your account if if loose your password you have to have a "backup email". This backup email is not the same as the "recovery email". The backup email has to be set by Fastmail staff.
Nei, jeg har ikke tenkt å innlede alle poster med en forklaring på hvorfor det er så lenge siden forrige, men nå er det jo forferdelig lenge siden sist jeg har skrevet noe. Blogg er kanskje litt ut, men jeg har nå tenkt å ta det opp igjen. Hvorfor? Les vidre og bli klokere.
Så sitter jeg på Gløshaugen igjen, 7 år etter at jeg leverte inn masteroppgaven min og trodde jeg var ferdig. Hva har skjedd? Ble det oppdaget en feil som gjorde at jeg må ta opp fag? Er jeg lei livet som geomatiker og skal begynne å studere fluidmekanikk?
Nei. Livet har det med å presentere muligheter man igrunn ikke kan takke nei til. For min del begynnte det for snart 2 år siden, da jeg søkte jobb hos Norkart og havna i et kjempemiljø av likesinnede kart-nerder (hei Alex). Dog, det forklarer ikke helt hvorfor jeg nå er student igjen? Løsningen ligger ikke så langt unna, i våres fikk jeg en telefon fra Terje Midtbø med spørsmål om jeg var interessert i å ta en doktorgrad. Jeg svarte "jo, men det er vel noe som må avklares med Norkart", hvorpå Terje svarte: "Jeg har vært i kontakt med Norkart, de er positive til en nærings-ph.d!".
Men, hva er så emnet? Det ligger til grunn for en nærings-ph.d at temaet skal være relevant for bedriften såvel som kandidaten. Etter litt tenking og konsultasjoner landet jeg (vi?) på forvaltining og analyse av geografiske datasett, med fokus på åpne datasett. Den foreløpige tittelen er "Geospatial data management in the future – Combining data management techniques from opensource communities and governmental bodies to enable cross-data-exploration and sensemaking", ikke småtteri.
Kortformen på norsk er "Håndtering av romlige datasett i fremtiden", og en populærvitenskapelig fremstilling av oppgaven er som følger.
Romlige data, eller kartdata, er datene som ligger bak alle kart og lokasjonstjenester vi bruker i det daglige. I tillegg er dette data det offentlige bruker i en rekke områder av forvaltningen: Matrikkeldata (eiendomsdata), forvaltning av naturvernområder, veiutbygging er noen få eksempler.
PC-, og senere smarttelefon-revolusjonen, har økt både tilgangen på og bruken av kartdata. Ved bruk av GPS-mottakere kan man enkelt finne og dele sin egen posisjon. Et resultat av denne revolusjonen er en Wikipedia-lignende tjeneste der alle kan legge til og endre kartdata for hele verden, OpenStreetMap.
Rent praktisk har jeg Terje Midtbø som hovedveileder og Alexander Nossum som med-veileder, jeg har kontorplass både på NTNU (Lerkendalsbygget) og Norkarts tronddheimskontor. Jeg har ingen undervisningsplikt, men klarer nok ikke å ikke involvere meg i studentprosjekter allikevel.
Og ja, jeg gleder meg stort til å komme i gang. Formelt sett er jeg i gang fra 1. september, men ting tar tid og jeg prøver nå å sette meg inn i litteratur og forfine oppgaven min. Følg med her, eller møt meg over en øl for flere detaljer!
This entry was posted in PhD on 22. September 2016 by Atle.
Ja, "our tools shapes us" er ikke noe nytt utsagn, og det er en lite orginal påstand. Men, må merker jeg effektene av dette så på kroppen at jeg har tid til å blogge litt, så da gjør jeg jo det.
Visual studio er tungt, veldig tungt. Jeg vet ikke hva jeg gjør, men jeg har gjerne 4-5 instanser oppe samtidig fordi jeg jobber med mye. Da skjer det gjerne 1-2 ganger om dagen at VS tryner, og 7-8 ganger at det er "unresponsive" i 1-2 minutter. Frustrerende. Så henger drit seg opp, og du må restarte. Dette er bortkasta tid. Det fører ofte til at jeg ikke tester like ofte, det er ikke bare å endre ei linje, trykke crtl+s, alt+tab, ctrl+r. Neida, det er "begynn å endre linje, få beskjed om ikke lov", så klikke på rød firkant, så endre, så lagre så grønn play, så vente 20 sek, så alt+tab så ctrl-r. Jeg utsetter, eller dropper å perfeksjonere ting fordi verktøyet mitt jobber mot meg. Verktøyet mitt gjør meg til en lat utvikler.
En annen ting er feedback-loopen. Om du lager en webapp med MVC må du starte og stoppe debug-instansen hver gang du gjør en endring. Pain. Much pain. Ok, så er det noen fine sider med dette også: debugging-verktøyene er gode, og det å kunne navigere rundt i koden uten å søke er fint. Men hvis du skal søke: ja da er du fucked. Min løsning er å ha prosjektet mitt åpent i Sublime Text også, for å enkelt kunne søke i det.
Så har vi pakkesystemet, nuGet. Æsj. For det første har det kommandoer på formen "Update-Package", hvorfor ikke bare "update", hva ellers oppdaterer du i et pakkesystem? Så klarer ikke nuGet å søke i flere pakkekilder samtidig, så du må huske å velge dette i en dropdown over "terminalen" hver gang du skal gjøre noe. Samme med target-prosjekt, jeg vet ikke hvor mange ganger jeg har lagt til ei pakke i feil prosjekt og tenkt: "jaja, det tok meg 4 minutter, jeg orker ikke å gjøre noe med det". Det blir rot, men verktøyet mitt gjør at jeg ikke orker å rydde. Verktøyet mitt gjør meg sløv.
Og kildekontroll da. TFS. Ikke TFS med Git, men TFS med TFS. Ja, jeg vet du kan få TFS med Git og jeg skulle ønske jeg hadde det, men det har jeg ikke enda. Og da sitter jeg der med TFS i visual studio da. Og høyreklikker og høyreklikker og excluder packages (har du prøvd å .tfsignore packages/??) skriver commit-meldinger og ser at det tar 30 jævla sekunder å sjekke inn 4 linjer endra i 2 filer. Fytti! Og alle checkins går såklart rett til serveren. Hva gjør jeg da? Jo jeg blir lat. Jeg har en commit om dagen med meldinga "lots of stuff, cannot remember" etterfulgt av en ny en "add missing files, FFS TFS"!. Igjen, verktøyet mitt gjør at jeg fraviker best practices. Jeg committer ikke ofte, jeg brancher aldri og å stashe noe har jeg aldri turt å prøve på.
Og så begynner jeg å lure: Liker folk dette? Er det jeg som ikke skjønner hvordan jeg bruker disse verktøyene? Ser jeg ut som en eskimo som har forvilla seg inn blant Aboriginere? Gjør jeg alt feil? Eller stiller jeg feil krav?
Jeg vil ikke ha et IDE som gjør alt. I editoren min vil jeg editere kode. Kode er tekst. Litt shortcuts er fint, code-completion og intellisense er ikke dumt, og å kunne navigere seg rundt i koden og få vist testdekning og sånne ting er fine tanker. MEN NÅR ALT ER JÆVLA SIRUP blir det for mye. Jeg vil ikke ha kildekontrollsystemet mitt innbakt i IDEet, jeg vil ha det på kommandolinja. Jeg vil ikke ha et eget vindu (som plutselig er på øvre del av VS, plutselig på nedre) for å installere pakker. Med unntak av Maven (og XML-helvete) har alle andre pakkesystemer jeg har brukt fungert fint fra kommandolinja (en skikkelig kommandolinja altså. Ikke en boks i visual studio, ikke en link til "Visual Studio Developer Console", ikke fuckings CMS eller PowerShell).
Jeg vil komme i flytsonen, jeg kommer ikke i flytsonen hvis jeg tester noe, støter på en obskur feil, kjører "Update-package" og rekker å skrive en rant på godt over 1000 ord før det forbanna systemet er ferdig med å oppdatere 20 pakker. Selv NPM som laster ned hele jævla internett 5 ganger ved update går raskere enn dette her. Dette er tregere enn å kjøre pip install scipy ffs! Og jeg tror ikke nuGet komplierer Fortran-kode!
Og så er det alle disse småtingene: "Build Action", og jeg veit ikke hva. Ånei, fila mi ble ikke deploya nei, greit. Eller at visual studio ikke har forstått at det filsystem holder rede på filer, at man ikke trenger ei forbanna XML-fil for dette og en "show all files"-knapp.
Jeg ber ikke om mye: jeg vil ha raske verktøy som gjør det de skal, som ikke henger seg, som ikke har flere knapper enn en brusautomat i USA, som ikke skal gjøre alt samtidig. Emacs er raskt, men du kan spille tetris der. Visual studio føles som å svømme i sirup selv uten teris.
Og der var faenmen nuGet ferdig med oppdateringa si.. Trykke grønn knapp, og så launcha du enda et nytt nettleservindu på en obskur port jeg aldri husker ja, fint! Takk.
"Cannot resolve symbol" ja, jeg ba deg oppdatere pakker, ikke knekke alt!
Ok, ikke blogge mens du krangler med verktøyene dine. Hadde dette verktøyet vært fysisk tror jeg det hadde hatt massevis av skader etter å ha blitt slått. Hardt.
Uanset: poenget er at verktøyene, selv de digitale, former oss.

Tourismo the point of becoming the sector most affected by the health crisis, which has major repercussions as it represents 10% of global GDP. If you want to know more how this epidemic is affecting the economy in the tourism industry, then you can have a look on workengo.it.
The companies most affected are airline and cruise lines, with damage requiring up to 12 months of recovery to return to pre-crisis levels. The hospitality industry also suffered notable losses, although overall lower compared to others.
According to experts, the coming months will be a period of great uncertainty, during which will follow phases of easing interrupted by a sudden return ofes. The future, therefore, remains complicated, especially for companies that cannot plan long-term investments and strategies.
The most likely model will focus on local tourism, with short trips over short distances, and valuing the quality of services rather than prices. Hotels, transport companies, travel agencies, and airlines need to ensure social distancing, frequent sanitization, and more flexible booking systems.
The tourism and hospitality sectors will be profoundly transformed in the coming months and years. It will therefore be essential, not only to adapt to the new requirements of a post-COVID-19 society but also, and above all to increase profit margins to have the necessary funds to face any future health crises.
At the same time, it is fundamental to invest in services to the population to ensure an adequate environment for overnight stays, transport, and the enjoyment of tourist experiences. Technology will play a key role, and tourism businesses need to take a step back from OTA platform
The technology offers a multitude of options, from advanced CRMs to virtual and augmented reality systems. CRM systems like Salesforce Sales Cloudrepresent a fundamental tool for hotels and accommodation providers, as access to a complete set of data facilitates understanding of customer preferences and thus enables tailor-made solutions to be offered.
It is also crucial to improve customer service to make it more immediate and dynamic. Iby email and phone and social media. The ideal solution is a multi-channel platform like the one offered by Salesforce, which allows simple and personalized management of all customer requests.

This last year has been a little crazy, OK, a lot crazy. We’ve had issues with Sarah; Hannah, Rachel & Caroline dealing with Chronic Lyme disease, Papaw’s death & Caroline’s emergency surgery. Needless to say, it’s not a year we want to repeat. We are starting 2014 off with an optimistic outlook. It’s a year of new beginnings
Our food journey has taken on many different complexions over the last few years. In an effort to combat the Chronic Lyme and other auto-immune issues we have changed our diet. We have experienced this first hand. Our recipes will cover several different diets and restrictions. We will have recipes that are one or more of the following: gluten free, egg free, grain free, dairy free, corn free, soy free, sugar free, low carb, high fat, or Trim Healthy Mama.
This week I am focusing on cleaning out and organizing our middle bedroom. It is very small and for the last few months has been the room that you put things into that don’t have a home. There are no before pictures (I didn’t want to be cast on hoarders) but when I finish, I’ll post some. This room is going to be used for storage of some of our 8 million books, our craft/office supplies and is home to our deep freeze.
Please take time to stop by our other blogs (there are links in the right side toolbar). Caroline also has her photography website. You can also find Rachel and me on Twitter. We also have Facebook pages for our different sites.

We either take charge or suffer more indignities and abuse at the hands of the ruling elite and their pay-for-play lackeys, the folks we send to Washington DC to do a job but who end up ignoring the very citizens they are supposed to be working for — that would be you and I! Fortunately, candidate contracts afford a bulletproof method for guaranteeing results and guaranteeing that anyone running for office who will not warranty their allegiance to the voters who put them in office will never have a shot at being elected.

In India itself, existing companies and new start-ups are coming up with their electric vehicles (scooters/motorcycles/cars), promising greener and cheaper mobility, without compromising on the driving pleasure.
But as a consumer, you must consider some key points before you make the switch from petrol/diesel to electric power.
The range of an electric vehicle is the total distance you can travel on a single full charge. So, when you consider design and features, do calculate the distance you generally cover in a day and make sure your electric vehicle meets your range requirements.
In the case of e-scooters, you can get a range of 60-120km while e-bikes can offer a higher range.
Electric vehicles essentially use thSo, higher the wattage of your battery, the more power and range it will offer.
Additionally, you should also consider if the EV comes with a waterproof, shock-proof, replaceable battery and if it supports fast charging or not.
Whenever you have issues with your car or motorcycle or scooter, you simply take it to a mechanic shop and get things done. But with EVs, you may have to visit official service centers only.
So, before you finalize your new EV, make sure you know about the company's servicing policies, total warranty period, and if the company makes spare parts or not.
You shouldn't buy an EV just because your neighbor got one. Instead, you should mull over your actual need.
Do you need it for daily commuting or carrying products? Do you have to cover long distances? Can you recharge them on a day-to-day basis?
When you have all the answers to such
Electric vehicles can come at a premium, especially if they offer hi-tech features. Hence, we'd suggest you define your needs and then find the right option. And always remhan petrol/diesel powered vehicles.

had me outside pulling weeds and that made me late in getting home. It got me in trouble with my mother, who was asking me what I had done to warrant such punishment.”
“That was one of the saddest days,” Stephens said, recalling when they pulled up the tracks. “We lived in an old abandoned company store in an area called ‘Buckeye,’ where a worked-out mine shaft existed. One day, I happened to be on the porch when we heard the train coming. It was always exciting to see the train or anything. But they moved all the way up to the Twin mine shaft and started taking up the tracks.”
“In a few days, mother got a letter with $9 in it,” Stephens said. “That was more money than we’d ever seen. We thought we were rich.” Stephens’ father had gotten a job building the Norris Dam, a TVA project that began in October 1933. In due time, a man with a truck was paid $25 to move the Stephens family to Norris, to be reunited with their father. Young Stephens arrived one day after his 12th birthday on March 10, 1934.
“I thought I had died and gone to Heaven,” Stephens exclaimed. “New homes were being built all around. We would wake up every morning listening to the hammers hammering and the saws sawing and see this beautiful town growing up before our eyes. They were building a new school building. It was a new beginning for us. It was all in an atmosphere that we’d never even dreamed about.”
“Hard times and being poor teaches discipline and how to deal with other hard times when they come again,” he said. </s> New Tennessee Bill Would Allow Use of Deadly Force to Protect Property

A mobile donut shop looks to bring a healthy treat to downtown Bakersfield.
“Pro Donuts” is a food trailer years in the making, and, owner, Aubrie Felkins is offering baked, gluten-free donuts.
Felkins says she wanted something even people with sensitive stomachs can try – based on her own experience dealing with gluten intolerance, and her son’s severe reaction to it.
She also offers discounts to first responders in memory of her late grandfather, a former Sheriff’s deputy.
“So, my contribution is just to give back and support our first responders because they’re the first ones who go out to a lot of crazy things and I feel that we as a community need to get together and support them,” said Felkins.
She says her grandfather came up with the name in the hospital when she brought him Pro-donuts while he couldn’t eat other sweets.
Pro Donuts is located on 24th and M Streets.
They are open from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m., Tues. – Thurs, and they are also available at Sully’s Markets.

SHOHOLA -Supervisor Keith Raser, at the July Shohola Township Meeting, lauded local youth Brian Malanio for recently attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. As part of his address, Raser noted individuals such as astronaut Neil Armstrong; director Steven Spielberg; former Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg; and President Gerald Ford too had also achieved this award and continued by stating that it is good to see young people are involved in programs such as the Boy Scouts of America in a time when we hear too often about today’s youth being involved in crime, drugs, or doing nothing to benefit society.
Malanio, a recent graduate of Delaware Valley High School and member of Troop 76 in Shohola, completed the requirements and passed a board of review to earn the award last October but only recently was presented with his medal in front of his troop at a Court of Honor ceremony.
To obtain the highest rank bestowed by the BSA, Malanio, in addition to advancing through the ranks, had to earn at least 21 merit badges, some mandatory such as first-aid, communications, and camping among others, as well as elective badges of his choosing, such as rifle shooting, bugling, and music, before completing a service project that benefited the community and showed his leadership abilities.
Malanio’s project involved installing a canopy over the outside stairs, placing exterior lighting, installing a basement sink, and doing masonry repairs at the Milford Episcopal Church’s Food Pantry.
Active as a Cub Scout in Pack 76, Malanio earned the Arrow of Light award before joining the troop approximately seven years ago. As a Boy Scout, he attended various summer camps; earned the BSA Recruiter award; and served as a Patrol Leader for three years.

CRA’s electronic records — which hold personal information willingly filed by millions of Canadians taxpayers, such as names, addresses, income and social insurance numbers — into a potential treasure trove for would-be hackers.
“This is a major concern because the type of information that is available in the context of the tax services is extremely private and sensitive,” said Vern Krishnax counsel at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP.
That grace period was confirmed by the minister of national revenue.
The CRA’s shutdown came after t warning to system administrators about the coding flaw. It recommended that system operators unable to plug in an immediate fix get off the grid.
Evelyn Jacks, an income tax expert and author, said the CRA did the right thing.
“They became aware of this and mitigated risk by shutting down the site and putting on the fix,” Jacks said.
Fefergrad worries that are vulnerable.
said Canadians should still take the time to prepare their returns becausef March, the agency had received 6.7 million returns, with 84 per cent filed electronically. </s> Independently voted the best overall fin in the world by Rodale Scuba Diving magazine.
Bio-fin providesr.
Unlike old style fins, which "push" water up and down, the Apollo bio-fin provides power, lift, and forward thrust on each stroke.
Rubber can be a little heavier on the surface than the plastics used for most fins.
Firstly bio-fins have great downwards force propulsion generated during the down stroke.
Much the same as your classical style blade or paddle fins.
Due to its flexibility and ease of use the bio-fin also generates similar propulsion on the upstroke that can't be achieved by the blade or paddle fin styles.
In summary, the bio-fin is propelled by both up and downward propulsion, and then this speed accelerates even further with lift.
Speed, comfort, and maneuverability ... you can have it all!
Voted "Best Overall" (2001-2005) and "Testers Choice" (1999-2005) in Rodale / Scuba Lab USA's annual independent fin review.
The bio-fin is designed with a 20º angle to accommodate a diver's natural tendency to bend slightly at the knees in addition to the obvious bend at the ankle.
The body.
Apollo's choice of superior material and intelligent design provides divers with quick acceleration and the ultimate in power, speed, and comfort.

The cop who showed up at the very end last time has brought friends, and they arrest Buffy. (Does that happen? Do scared teenage girls get arrested on crime scenes? Wouldn’t they ask her questions first? Why are they already convinced she’s Kendra’s killer?) She punches the cop who tries to cuff her, and then the other cop TRIES TO SHOOT HER.
Nothing about this investigation is the way it should be. They should be calmly asking Buffy questions and telling her not to leave town, not pointing a gun at her when they first see her next to Kendra’s body (with neither a weapon nor blood on her), immediately arresting her, and then shooting at her when she resists. Also, how did they even find out something was happening in the library? Did Snyder hear noise and call them? Regardless, Buffy gets away.
At some later point, wearing different clothes, Buffy sneaks into the hospital to see if her friends are okay. Xander, a cast on his arm, finds her. Xander’s so downcast that he can’t even make off-color jokes. Willow is in a coma from head trauma. Buffy thinks the attack means that Angelus knew they were doing the curse. Willow’s parents are in Arizona, but they’re going to get in touch with Oz. Cordelia shows up. She was so scared that she just drove and drove, but now she’s back. None of them knows what happened to Giles.
What happened to Giles is that Drusilla’s minions hauled him back to the mansion, where Angelus plans to torture him until he tells him how to wake up Acathla (and also for the fun of torturing someone, since it’s been a while).
The same detective from “Ted” shows up at Buffy’s house with his partner to question Joyce about Buffy. Nice continuity with using that same actor, but I’m still having serious issues with this investigation. He tells Joyce to call if Buffy comes home.
When Buffy goes to Giles’s apartment, she finds Whistler instead. She has no patience for his habit of beating around the bush. He tells Buffy that the fight against evil is always a solo fight, and she’s going to have to be ready to give up everything.
She leaves, tired of listening to Whistler, and a cop car pulls up next to her. The cop points his gun at her and tells her to put her hands on her head. Pretty sure it’s against protocol to point a weapon at an unarmed civilian, even a murder suspect.
Before the officer can arrest Buffy, Spike shows up out of nowhere and beats him up. Buffy is shocked and very confused. She starts fighting him, but he’s actually here to team up with her. He tells her Angelus has Giles and is torturing him. He wants Buffy to help him kill Angelus so that he and Drusilla can ride off into the sunset. He’s not interested in destroying the world (and even he clearly sees the irony there), because lots of the things he likes are in the world, so that’d kinda suck. Buffy is deeply unimpressed by Spike’s motivations and very much hates him, but she’s kind of out of options.
Cordelia leaves Xander alone in Willow’s room. She’s still in a coma. He holds her hand and tells her he needs her, and she needs to wake up. It’s a very touching moment, possibly the first moment where we really see how much she means to him. He tells her he loves her, and she starts to wake up! But alas, the first thing she says is “Oz?” Ouch. Sorry, Xander, you missed you shot. Oz arrives, and they are super cute as usual.
Giles is tied to a chair, and his hands are bloody. Angelus is watching him, cleaning his glasses for him. Giles still hasn’t told him anything. Torture resumes.
Buffy and Spike are walking up to Buffy’s house when Joyce drives up, and she starts yelling, worried and confused. Unsubtle Buffy tries to explain Spike’s presence by saying they’re in a band together. She’s not buying it, but then a vampire jumps out at them. Joyce gets a lovely close-up look at his fangs and lumpy forehead. Buffy and Spike tag-team him. She has no choice now. She has to tell Joyce the truth.
Oz is still tending to Willow, and she and Buffy are on the phone. Willow doesn’t have brain damage, luckily. Buffy has completely given up on the notion of re-cursing Angelus. Buffy’s plan is to attack the mansion before daybreak to save Giles and kill Angelus before he can wake up Acathla. Joyce and Spike are sitting in the living room, awkwardly. Joyce vaguely remembers him from that time she smacked him with an axe.
Buffy returns to the living room to talk tactics with Spike. Spike wants to get Drusilla out and the two of them will never come back. Buffy will only let him take Dru if Giles survives. Joyce keeps asking a lot of nervous questions. Apparently she did think Buffy killed Kendra. Buffy loses patience with her very quickly, and that’s the last straw for Joyce. She demands an explanation. It’s a bit of a huge revelation to drop on her so quickly, and she doesn’t handle it well. She isn’t seeing that it means Buffy was never a delinquent like she thought; she’s just seeing that Buffy isn’t listening to her. She tells Buffy that if she leaves, she won’t let her come back. Buffy leaves. Joyce instantly regrets making that ultimatum.
Willow still wants to do the curse. She’s very determined. There’s basically nothing else they can do to help Buffy, so the other kids agree. Willow sends Xander to tell Buffy what they’re up to.
Angelus is still torturing Giles, and there’s a really pretty painting/silk tapestry thing on the wall.
Even after everything Angelus has done to him, Giles is still full of snark. Spike wheels in, pretending he needs the wheelchair, and he tells Angelus that Giles won’t be any good to them dead. Angelus is suspicious of Spike’s non-violent attitude, but Spike has another idea for how to get information out of Giles. He calls Drusilla in.
Buffy is at the library to get Kendra’s special sword. Snyder walks in. He doesn’t care if the police will eventually realize Buffy is innocent; he feels he has cause to expel Buffy, and he does. Buffy’s parting line to him (as she draws the sword and he recoils) is kind of annoying: “You never got a single date in high school, did you?” So? Neither did I. (Unless you count making kung-fu short films with this guy I liked in junior year.) I wasn’t interested in dating in high school, and I don’t feel like I wasted my time there. If her point is that Snyder wanted to date in high school but was always rejected by the girls he asked, then I guess that’s fine (and probably true). She walks away with the sword, and Snyder pulls out a chunky ‘90s cell phone and calls someone in the Mayor’s office. Awesome.
It’s Drusilla’s turn to get info out of Giles. She uses her psychic abilities to first read something in his mind, and then to make him think she’s Jenny. “Jenny” promises that they’ll be able to be together, and he tells her that they have to get Angelus away from Acathla, because if Angelus uses his own blood, he’ll be able to wake him up. Then they kiss. The camera pulls back, and it’s actually Drusilla. Angelus wants to just kill Giles now, but Spike hastily points out that he might’ve lied, so they need to keep him alive. Spike and Angelus go from impressed to nonplussed about Drusilla’s discovery as Drusilla keeps making out with Giles (but can you blame her really?). Drusilla stops kissing him, and he realizes what he just revealed.
Buffy goes back to Giles’s apartment to ask Whistler for more info. If Angelus uses his blood to wake Acathla, then only Angelus’s blood will put Acathla back down. Buffy’s fine with that. She doesn’t think she has anything left to lose. Whistler isn’t so sure.
Angelus is doing the ritual again, now with his own blood. He says “And now, Acathla, you will be free.” And then he adds another line, which I’m pretty sure wasn't part of the ritual. “And so will we all.” I think this goes back to what I was saying a few reviews back, about how Angelus is so disturbed by his memories of the human emotions that came from his soul, particularly after getting possessed by Grace Newman’s ghost, that he just wants to end everything.
Buffy announces her presence by beheading a minion. Spike attacks Angelus with a crowbar, and Buffy fights another minion. Drusilla tackles Spike off of Angelus. Buffy fights the other minion while Spike fights Drusilla. Xander heads for Giles. At the hospital, Willow starts the curse. Xander gets a delirious Giles out. While Buffy is occupied with the minion (who she finally stakes) and Spike with Drusilla, Angelus gets up and pulls the sword out of Acathla. Uh-oh. Spike knocks Drusilla out…by…choking her? What? This makes as little sense as Angel not being able to do CPR because he “has no breath.” I distinctly remember at least two moments on Angel when some idiot tries to choke him out and he basically mocks them for trying that on a vampire, who doesn’t need oxygen to function and can therefore not be knocked out by either an air choke or a blood choke.
Halfway through the curse, Willow suddenly gets taken over by some kind of powerful force. She switches from saying the curse in English to Romanian. Oz and Cordelia are both unnerved. In the mansion, Buffy and Angelus start swordfighting. Despite all the crowbar hits Angelus took from Spike, he’s a pretty formidable opponent for Buffy, giving her the longest, closest fight she’s ever had on the show. He gets Buffy on the ropes, disarming her and closing in. It’s about then that Spike finishes knocking Dru out, and he notices that Angelus is about to kill Buffy. He shrugs and leaves.
Angelus stalks towards Buffy, and he says “So t?” Then he goes to stab her through the FACE, and she CATCHES THE BLADE and smacks the hilt into his face. Her answer? “Me.” She is BACK in this fight, and she immediately has the upper hand this time. Just when she’s winding up for a finishing blow (Which, incidentally, looks an awful lot like one designed to decapitate. Wasn’t she supposed to use his blood to put Acathla back to sleep? How will she do that if he’s dust, exactly?), Willow finishes the curse. The Orb of Thesulah vanishes, and Angelus’s eyes fill with the same golden-white light as in the 1898 flashback.
Angel is back. He’s very confused, but happy to see Buffy! The Buffy/Angel theme starts playing. Buffy slowly lowers the sword, completely taken aback. She doesn’t know how it happened, but she knows it’s Angel. He hugs her, and she hugs him back, so glad it’s him that she seems to be in pain. But behind him, Acathla is waking up. Angel wants to know what’s going on, but she tells him not to worry, and they kiss. She’s crying. She tells him she loves him, tells him to close his eyes, kisses him again, and then impales him with the sword. He still has no idea what’s going on, so he reaches a hand out to her. The portal closes, taking him with it.
Buffy walks past her house. Inside, Joyce checks Buffy’s room. She finds a note on the bed and Buffy’s empty closet. She sinks down onto Buffy’s bed, crying.
The Scoobies, including Giles with casts on his broken fingers and Willow in a wheelchair, talk about what happened. They keep calling the curse a “cure,” which seems really weird. Soullessness isn’t a disease, it’s a state of being. Anyway. They’re all confident that Buffy will show up soon (since the world didn’t end), whether or not the curse worked in time to save Angel. Buffy watches them from the sidewalk in front of the school, a duffel bag over her shoulder, wearing her sad overalls again.
She walks away, then catches a bus out of town.
Hoo boy, “Becoming: Part 2” is a very different finale than “Prophecy Girl.” This time, Buffy’s life isn’t what’s at stake. No, just everything else. One of her friends died and two others were badly injured. Her Watcher was tortured. She was expelled, kicked out of her house, and accused of murder. And then, she had to sacrifice the man she loves to save the world. If “Prophecy Girl” was about Buffy learning to put her calling above her life, then “Becoming” was about Buffy learning that she has to keep fighting even if she loses all the things she thought she was fighting for. It’s a fantastic conclusion to an excellent season.
I’ve kind of already covered what’s going on with Buffy in this episode. She loses everything and still finds the strength within herself to choose the world over the one thing she still has left to lose. But when it’s all gone, she’s a murder suspect who’s been expelled and kicked out of her house (as far as she knows, not having encountered Joyce since their fight), so even though the Scoobies would definitely be there for her if she went to them, it would be a huge risk to stay in Sunnydale. Buffy is both incredibly admirable and incredibly sympathetic here. She’s more of a hero than ever, but it hurts to watch her struggle through all this. Regarding her fight with Joyce, I don’t think Joyce is a bad parent. I actually think it’s kind of wonderful how flawed she is. For two years now, she’s been dealing with her daughter’s reputation for delinquent behavior, complete with a criminal record for arson. The only line from Joyce that really shocks me is when she sounds relieved to find out that Buffy didn’t kill Kendra. Did she really believe Buffy did it until then? She did watch Buffy knock Ted down the stairs, leaving him apparently dead. After that, she tried to cover for Buffy with the police. So maybe she does think Buffy might be capable of something like that, but her instinct is to be protective anyway. I don’t think for a second that she genuinely wanted Buffy out of the house. She made her ultimatum in anger and instantly regretted it.
Last episode, Giles told Willow that if she did the curse, she’d be opening a door she might not be able to close. This is absolutely what happens when she succeeds with the curse this time around. We can see the moment that door opened, and those of us who have seen the entire series know that it never closes. When Willow, fresh out of a coma and definitely still physically weaker than usual, insists on doing the curse, it’s the culmination of all the strength she’s shown over the course of the season.
There’s an interesting moment for Cordelia when she comes to the hospital. Willow’s resolve to act is very obvious, but Cordelia’s is subtler. Her feelings for Xander have been growing softer and softer ever since their first kiss. She’s been aiming less and less vitriol at him lately. I think she might actually be in love with him now.
Xander. I don’t think I like him very much at any point in this episode. Just as Cordelia’s showing signs that she loves him, he’s realizing he might love Willow. His confession is the kind of moment that would’ve been extremely welcome I guess I can’t really be angry with him for realizing he loves Willow. Nobody can help what emotions they feel, and so far, he hasn’t done anything about it. But what I darn well can be angry about is his lie to Buffy. Willow and Buffy both trust Xander completely, and he betrays their trust because he hates Angel. He makes what Willow’s doing meaningless, and he deprives Buffy of the chance to plan her battle strategy with full awareness of the situation. Maybe Buffy still wouldn’t have been able to stop Angelus from pulling the sword out of Acathla if Xander had told her the truth, but it’s entirely his fault that she was completely unprepared for the possibility that she would have to send Angel to hell rather than Angelus. Did he think Buffy wouldn’t do it? Does he have that little faith in her priorities?
I’m not sure we would have guessed in S1 (at least, not before “Prophecy Girl”) that Giles is strong enough not to break under torture. Not only does he not break, though; he figuratively spits in his torturer’s face. There’s no way he’s helping the monster who killed the woman he loves get what he wants. So, of course, the woman he loves is exactly the way to get under his defenses. That scene is so heart-wrenching.
I think Angelus sees Giles as his equal as much as Buffy is. Buffy is his primary nemesis because she and Angel had a much deeper emotional connection, but after Buffy, Giles is the one Angel was closest too. They worked together, both onscreen and off, enough for Giles to invite Angel into his flat. I don’t think everything Angelus has done to Giles has merely been an extension of his plans for Buffy. In the brief moment where we have Angel back, I think it’s a mark of how much he loves and trusts Buffy that when she impales him with a sword, his only reaction is to reach out for her.
Yeah, that scene hurts a lot. It feels so real. I kind of love how imperfect Joyce is. Not that I watch many high school dramas, but don't most of them have fairly cookie cutter parental figures, if they even turn up onscreen in the first place?
I don't watch many of those either but I always got that impression, yeah. This is where the parental figure's feelings are supposed to get glossed over because they interrupt the narrative, which is all about the offspring.

Terrestrial is dead…..official!
I hate to state the obvious but I have to….. the recent Olympic coverage by NBC has just proved without doubt that terrestrial TV is dead. I had wondered what NBC actually stood for , I decided it must stand for 'No BloodyClue'…
Well , I am a consumer and therefore someone who should be number one priority in their thinking……like me , you should have had your needs as a consumer considered and catered for…but sadly the dinosaurs at corporate NBC decided they knew better…..oooooowwwwwwwwhhhh how frustrating to see this unfold!
Even more mind-numbing is the fact that the 2012 Olympics proved to be THE biggest event in American TV history ever..think what NBC could have done if they had a clue!
Take a look at this piece from the BBC about how the Chinese dealt with coverage, not in the way you might think but in a very consumer oriented way which really demonstrates what NBC should have been trying to do…
Not only was this what people wanted but it was also relatively easy and cheap to execute, it was obviously cheaper to do than the dinosaur terrestrial NBC offering nevertheless it worked…and all on-line through a social media network. As I have said many blogs previously regarding the Chinese social media scene….'who needs Facebook and Twitter?'
Serena Williams' tennis final was one of the most streamed on-line videos and she isn't British!
China's social site which was streaming the Olympics has a user base which is greater than Facebook and Twitter combined…
The BBC actually positively encouraged the use of social media and stressed the importance of being 'in the moment' wherever you are , they had 'how to watch the Olympics' video everywhere to make sure people accessed the content …it worked!
The lessons for NBC and in fact all of us involved in this industry are there to see, those who take the experiences and understand how the social landscape is dominating our business landscape will enjoy this unabashed myopic nostalgic look at 2012……. no really, it is nostalgic even though it is only a couple of weeks ago…remember we are moving a lot quicker these days!

Iyou need to take a realistic approach to this industry. You may have decided to venture into this area after reading offers that promise you can make $300 a day or you can make money the same day you start. Your expectations are running really high after reading some of this material you have already bought into. But let’s face it, all of that is really just hype trying to entice you into purchasing a product or joining a particular business venture.
I’m not here to burst your bubble though because affiliate marketing does definitely work. Just like anything else, you have to give it time. I was truly shocked when I started doing affiliate marketing because I wasn’t expecting to make a sale for at least several months. I was really surprised when I made two sales my very first week. Sure, it’s not thousands of dollars we are talking about, but if you consistently create new campaigns each week and continue to post them for your target audience to see, you will start making even more sales and they will just continue to come as time goes on. few campaigns up and then stop. Repetition is the key to having success.
The first thing I recommend you do is purchase a course that will teach you how to get started, how to choose your products and how and where to place your campaigns. If you go into this blindly and just guess what you are suppose to do, you will not get the results you are expecting. Education is the key to your success in this industry because you have to learn the right way to do things. If you do things in a certain way, you will have success.
I have come to really love affiliate marketing because people are always looking for products that offer a solution to their problem. By choosing the area that you enjoy the most and products people are already searching for, you too can have success with affiliate marketing. Don’t waste your time just trying to figure it all out on your own. With the proper education, you will be on the road to building a substantial residual income in no time at all.

The 23-year-old student had her physical safety threatened after speaking out against 'woke men'
A woman living under socialism in Europe is warning Americans to not to follow her country’s path and to continue pursuing capitalism and economic freedom.
In a lengthy post on Twitter, Ada Lluch, a 23-year-old student, warns Americans that her country’s socialist economy has been “disastrous” for many people.
“I don’t live in America and I can’t vote in America, but I know what socialism does to a society. I live in Spain and our economy is disastrous,” she cautioned. “Young people don’t have jobs and if they do they’re paid €1,000 a month at best. No one thinks to buy homes and renting is the standard.”
She also told her followers, “Yes, when you come to Spain on vacation it looks great and it is absolutely beautiful, but if you had to live on our salaries and work in our economy you wouldn’t want it.”
Lluch resides in Tortosa, a city accentuated by medieval, Renaissance and baroque architecture, which is roughly 110-mile drive down the coast from Barcelona. Her adoption of conservative principles is a departure from some in her family who have been open supporters of socialism.
“I come from a humble family,” she told Timcast in an interview. “So most of my life they were part of the socialist party because when you are poor, you believe that socialists are gonna help you. But they are they doing the opposite.”
A large contributing factor to the continued spread of socialist ideas, she says, is the media’s vilification of right-wing beliefs and principles.
“If you have conservative beliefs, you are called a fascist and you are really, really villainized,” Lluch explained.
“They believe the media. They don’t have a critical opinion about that. And they get a lot of government help, like monthly money,” she added. “They are very happy with that, so they keep voting for them and supporting them.”
In the past, Lluch says she didn’t evaluate policy critically. But, once she began to do her own research and interact with more people of different ages from around the world, it opened her eyes and she says she realized living under socialism is not how life is supposed to work.
“I had the desire to have a better quality of life, and I had a desire to earn more money and to own my own house. And I was very frustrated that I couldn’t do that in Spain,” she told Timcast.
Spain’s universal healthcare system, which is mostly funded by taxpayers, is an area Lluch says has systemic challenges. While most basic healthcare services are covered and require no payment at the time of the appointment, for specialized medical care, patients will likely face additional costs and extremely long waits. A person might have to wait as long as a year to see a specialist, she says.
“People think that because the healthcare is free, you will be treated well, but that isn’t always the case,” she explained. “My grandpa has been waiting three years for a small surgery that he really needs. And the situation is pretty bad if you go to the waiting rooms in the hospital, it’s hours and hours,” as some people, she explained, are essentially just waiting to die.
Other social policies, she believes, are also lurching Spain away from decency and a well-functioning society — the most recent example being a law that decriminalizes sex with animals, as long as the animal is not injured.
Lluch, who travels to America several times per year to visit friends and has learned much about U.S. culture, is openly critical about the push by American progressives to normalize things like pedophilia and transgenderism.
“Craziness” is how she described the political environment in the U.S., before stating, “You need to change very fast as a country.”
Publicly, she was not very active politically until about three months ago, when Elon Musk, billionaire CEO of Tesla and Twitter, shared one of her posts, which went viral.
The post, which read, “Woke men are incapable of satisfying women” has now been liked nearly 100,000 times and has been re-tweeted more than 5,500 times.
“And then it went crazy, it blew up,” she explained.
The morning after Musk shared her post, she woke up and realized that her friends had blocked her on social media. People with whom she was close just one day prior were suddenly calling her names, engaging in bullying, and sharing her post within group chats, on social media platforms, and at her school.
“So, basically I lost all of my friends,” she recalled.
Prior to the tweet, Lluch barely posted on social media and had almost no followers on Twitter. Though she gained thousands of new supporters after the viral post, she also received threats to her physical safety.
However, now with an account boasting more than 75,000 followers, Lluch wants to leverage her platform to “open people’s eyes” to what’s been happening in Spain and be a voice against socialist policies.

INDIANAPOLIS — Jacoby Brissett kept taking his licks Sunday.
After years of talking about fixing the offensive line, the Colts entered this weekend leading the league in sacks allowed. With the Titans picking up eight more , six in the first half, Indy’s total now sits at 47. It’s three more than the Colts allowed in 16 games last season, and with five games remaining this year, they are just 15 short of matching the franchise’s two-decade-old single-season record of 62 when Jim Harbaugh was the QB.
Alarmingly, it actually has been worse.
Brissett has gone down at least three times in nine of his 10 starts this season, including an astounding 10 sacks by Jacksonville in OctoberTennessee (7-4) came up one sack short of entering the top five just two weeks after Brissett entered the concussion protocol after he took a knee to the helmet against Pittsburgh.
“We’ teams are doing against us because that’s what teams do against us,” Brissett said. “I’v”
Three-time Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton caught two passes for 15 yards Sunday, bringing his splits in Colts’ losses to 19 receptions, 235 yards and no TDs. He has 19 catches for 505 yards and three TDs in Indy’s wins over Cleveland, San Francisco and Houston.
Rookie running back Marlon Mack let a seemingly perfect pitch go right through his fingers inside the Colts 10-yard line. Titans safety Kevin Byard pounced on the ball at the 4. After Grover Stewart’s offside penalty put the ball at the 2, Marcus Mariota hooked up with Delanie Walker on a TD pass that cut Indy’s lead to 16-13 with 1:50 left in the third quarter.
And all Brissett and his teammates could do is ponder, once again, what went wrong.
“I don’t have a word for it,” tight end Jack Doyle said after catching seven passes for 94 yards. “It’s tough. It just stinks.”

2014’s edition of the Chale Wote Street Art Festival came off a buzzing start, augmenting the fervour that accompanied the just ended Homowo Festival. The energy and excitement was infectious and even days after the 2-day festival, themed, “Death: An Eternal Journey Into Limitless Rebirth”, people still can’t get over it. The euphoria that accompanied the festival beautifully complemented its theme; the festival flames seemingly going out but instead of just dying down, continue burning, eagerly waiting a rekindling which, rest assured, will happen next year. Jamestown played host Accra’s creative community who brought their own to the tropes of beautiful “madness” to this year’s festival. To keep these superb and awesome participants enthralled, Accra [dot] Alt lined up an ensemble of creatives whose only agenda was to enthral the visiting public, sending them on a trans-dimensional journey of imagined spaces.

COVID-19 is forcing those of us who work in the education sector further online. But the education industry in Australia has seen challenges the rest of the world hasn’t had to face yet: particularly, the effect of the pandemic on a major annual student intake. Importantly, for higher education institutions in the northern hemisphere, Australia’s response provides valuable foresight into what the rest of the world may face in the near future.
When COVID-19 reached boiling point in late January, Australian universities were faced with a problem. They were right in the middle of their main academic year intake as thousands of students were preparing to enter the country and classes were scheduled to commence at the end of February. With up to AU$3 billion (US$1.9 billion) of revenue on the line, in an industry that is in the top three exports for the country, the situation was unprecedented.
To compound matters further, the severity of the crisis was getting worse day by day and, a week closer to intake, flight cancellations began forcing universities and students to act quickly.
Many options were considered. Initially, a number of universities encouraged students from China to spend 14 days in a low-risk country before they made their way to Australia. Others offered students up to AU$7,500 to wait in an attempt to prolong the inevitable.
In fairness to universities the idea was backed by the Government of Australia which, at the time, may have assumed COVID-19 would be contained or prove to be a lower risk. However, new cases were being discovered in new countries every day, disavowing this strategy.
Next came reports that universities planned to house students in quarantined communities situated in rural areas. Students would take classes online and be steadily and safely reintegrated into on-campus study. Unfortunately, this plan came uncomfortably close to the unfolding cruise-ship crisis; and placing hundreds of students in close-quarters living arrangements seemed risky. Australia’s Group of Eight (Go8) later denied reports that this plan was under consideration.
As February progressed it became clear there was no quick fix to this problem and no end in sight for the pandemic at large. Australian universities settled on the only thing that they knew would help them retain international students and give them the best chance at a good outcome: flexibility.
To achieve this universities pushed back enrolment deadlines, some over a month after term commencement. This allowed students time to carry out travel plans and comply with mandatory quarantine rules that were now in effect for many international arrivals. The uncertainty was not limited to just students – recruitment and admissions teams were also forced to think on their feet. On top of handling the usual chaotic back and forth over immigration documents, they also juggled new communication requirements around ever-changing travel plans and government restrictions.
This was and continues to be a stress test for international recruitment processes, and with this in mind we’ve reached out to some colleagues in Australia and asked them to share their experience in advance of larger upcoming intakes for universities around the world.
One Australian director of international recruitment told us that they had actually mobilised a serious incident response team in advance of COVID-19 for the Australian bushfires. As a result the transition from one crisis to another was relatively simple.
Recruitment staff reacted quickly, introducing online student counselling, webinars and live-streaming campus tours. They said the effort was extraordinary, and in trying to get ahead of these two events the university has learnt to be “more flexible, innovative and agile” than they could have imagined possible.
Shehan Thampapillai, associate vice-chancellor at Central Queensland University, pointed out that Australia is particularly susceptible to volatility in the Chinese market. COVID-19 mobility restrictions in China heightened competitive pressure in other key markets around the world as universities attempted to make up for lost numbers.
Private providers in Australia echoed the feedback we received from universities.
Tony Cullen, executive general manager for global engagement at Navitas, Australia’s largest higher education provider, says: “We are looking at a range of measures to ensure we can sustain our operations during these uncertain times without compromising our commitment to the student experience and academic outcomes. From both a local and global perspective border restrictions are constantly evolving, so planning is required to keep students in or to prevent them from coming.
“With regard to 2020 intakes we’re expecting major interest in online delivery with key challenges around accommodation and any isolation periods should borders reopen.
“In these unprecedented timesne another.
At Enroly, we build solutions for this kind of problem, including an automated applicant retention platform that takes care of CAS (confirmation of acceptance for studies) and visa administration tasks like document collection, which otherwise take up valuable staff time.
Speaking to several universities recently, there is clearly a higher level of confidence in – and demand for – digital transformation. Sudden changes to recruitment processes are forcing universities to re-examine their technology, motivated by what it can do to increase the efficiency of their teams and students. In just the past three weeks we’ve had three UK universities agree to commence pilots. It has been surprising to see such a sudden increase in interest and this may well be down to learning from markets like Australia.
With the world currently in lockdown, it is clear that the future will not look the same as Australia’s last student intake. But the agility of Australia’s response will be vital for others to learn from and to contend with a recovery that may prove just as fast and unpredictable as the onset.
Universities should heed the message from Australia that “preparation is key”. Any measures put in place now to give recruitment staff more time to pivot will be hugely beneficial.

Autonomous Mind draws attention to the enthusiasm for climate change measures on the part of Big Oil – and Shell in particular. He reminds us that oil companies are making a fortune out of global warming, and are very much part of the consensus.
Meanwhile, John Rosenthal writing in Pajamasmedia puts the WWF under the spotlight, pointing out that the organisation soaks up so much government money – including a small fortune from the EU – that it should no longer be called an NGO. It is a para governmental organisation (PGO).
In July 2007, we came to the same conclusion about Friends of the Earth Europe, which we called a quasi governmental organisation.
