TEXT: Cory Gardner Supported three personhood amendments to make all abortions illegal
SOURCE: Amendment 62, 11/2/10; Amendment 48, 11/4/08; 2006 Colorado Right to Life Voter Guide
IN 2008 AND 2010, GARDNER SUPPORTED BALLOT INITIATIVES IN COLORADO PROMOTING PERSONHOOD
Gardner Supported Amendment 62, Or The Personhood Amendment: “I Have Signed The Personhood Petition. I Have Taken The Petitions To My Church And Circulating It In My Church.” The Fort Collins Coloradoan and the Colorado Independent reported that Gardner supported Amendment 62. “During a 9 News-sponsored debate (see here) in February, Gardner said he not only supported the personhood initiative, which would criminalize stem cell research, abortion, some types of birth control, and curtail in vitro fertilization in the state, but added, “I have taken the petitions to my church and have a legislative record that backs up my support for life.’” The full quote was “I have signed the personhood petition. I’ve taken the petitions to much church circulating it in my church and have a legislative record that backs up my support for life.” [Colorado Independent, 8/5/2010; 9News Debate, YouTube, 2/14/2010; Fort Collins Coloradoan, 9/26/2010]
- September 2010: Gardner Supported Personhood Amendment But Refused To Answer Questions About It. In September 2010, the Denver Post reported that “Gardner does not talk much about hot-button social issues, such as his support for Colorado’s proposed ‘personhood’ amendment. ‘Everyone in this district is focused on jobs and spending,’ he said. ‘They are worried about the future of their families and businesses.’” [Denver Post, 9/29/10]
- Daily Camera Editorial Board Blasted Gardner For Supporting The “Extreme Personhood Measures That Would…Ban Certain Forms Of Birth Control.” In October 2010, the Daily Camera editorial board wrote: “Gardner, who in the past has taken firm stances in favor of the extreme ‘personhood’ anti-abortion measures that would put all women of child-bearing age at risk and even ban certain forms of birth control, doesn’t like to talk about that now.” [Editorial, Daily Camera, 10/20/10]
- January 2010: Gardner Attended 2010 Personhood Rally. “Friday’s Colorado March for Life, presented by Colorado Right to Life, was the largest in recent history, with marchers at the State Capitol numbering nearly 1,500. The march was marked by an unprecedented number of teens, with young people making up the majority of participants. ‘Personhood’ was the theme, with each speaker highlighting the need to recognize Personhood rights for preborn babies from the moment of their biological beginning. The Personhood USA slogan ‘Persons Not Property’ was displayed prominently, and chants of ‘Roe v. Wade has got to go!’ resounded through the streets surrounding the March. Prominent figures included Denver Bishop James D. Conley, Senator Scott Renfroe, Senator Dave Schultheis, Senator Kevin Lundberg, State Representative Amy Stephens, State Representative B.J. Nikkel, State Representative Cory Gardner, Tom Lucero, currently running for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, and Jimmy Lakey, currently running for Colorado’s 7th Congressional District.” [Personhood USA Press Release, 1/25/10]

- 2010: Colorado Right to Life: “Republican Cory Gardner supports Personhood, responded to our survey, has participated in CRTL events, and is considered 100% Pro-Life.” [Colorado Right to Life, accessed 10/2/10]
- Amendment 62 Was A Ballot Initiative in 2010 That Asked Colorado Voters To Redefine The Definition of a Person Under The Colorado Constitution. “Amendment 62 proposes amending the Colorado Constitution to: apply the term “person,” as used in the sections of the Colorado bill of rights concerning inalienable rights, equality of justice, and due process of law, to every human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human being.” [Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, 2010 State Ballot Information Booklet, Pg. 16, 9/13/10]
- November 2, 2010: Amendment 62 Ballot Initiative Was Decided On Election Day By Colorado Voters. [Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, 2010 State Ballot Information Booklet, Pg. 16, 9/13/10]
Gardner Supported 2008 Personhood Amendment (Amendment 48) At Meeting With Doctors, Told Them The Initiative Was Targeting Abortion, Would Not Have Bearing On Contraception, Reproduction. In October 2008, Dr. Marc Ringel of Brush Family Medicine wrote of a 2008 Morgan County Medical Society meeting: m“During the ensuing discussion one of my colleagues asked about Amendment 48, titled the Definition of Person Amendment. The briefest of all the items we citizens will be asked to cast our ballot for or against, it merely states, ‘The term Person or Persons shall include any human from the time of fertilization’ The doctor asked the representative what personhood might imply, for example, in terms of an IUD or morning-after pill, which prevents implantation into the uterus of an egg within hours of fertilization, never getting to other hard questions like: what does it mean to the pregnant 14 year-old rape victim? to the woman with heart disease so severe that her odds of surviving a delivery are small? or to the woman whose fetus errant placenta has invaded her intestines and threatens to kill her if it continues to grow? Mr. Gardner responded soothingly that the writers of that piece of legislation were simply targeting abortion, not everything else that might have a bearing on reproduction and contraception.” [Dr. Marc Ringel, Brush News Tribune, 10/22/08]
- Amendment 48 Was A Ballot Initiative in 2008 That Asked Colorado Voters To Redefine The Definition of a Person Under The Colorado Constitution. “Amendment 48 proposes amending the Colorado Constitution to: ‚ define the term “person” to “include any human being from the moment of fertilization”; and‚ apply this definition of person to the sections of the Colorado Constitution that protect the natural and essential rights of persons, allow open access to courts for every person, and ensure that no person has his or her life, liberty, or property taken away without due process of law.” [Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, 2008 State Ballot Information Booklet, Pg. 4, 9/15/08]
- November 4, 2008: Amendment 48 Was Decided On Election Day By Colorado Voters. [Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, 2008 State Ballot Information Booklet, Pg. 4, 9/15/08]
- 2008: Personhood Sponsor: Gardner Was “Very, Very Supportive” Of The 2008 Personhood Amendment. In November 2011, Bigmedia.org’s Jason Salzman reported that “I asked Kristi Brown, who’s changed her name from Kristi Burton since she sponsored the first personhood amendment with her father in 2008, if she expected to get the same support from major candidates that her measure had gotten previously. … ‘I haven’t personally talked to [Coffman and Gardner],’ Brown told me. ‘I know Cory Gardner is very conservative, has really good stands. I talked to him on the 2008 amendment. He was very, very supportive. He was one of our main supporters. So I would guess that he would.’ When she says a main supporter what does she mean? ‘Very supportive,’ she said. ‘He would come to events for us. He talked about it.’” [Bigmedia.org, 11/21/2011]
- March 2008: Gardner Supported Personhood At A Press Conference. In March 2010, Colorado Right to Life stated “Cory Gardner also has a pro-life voting record (Tom Lucero has not been in a position to vote on life issues), Gardner was one of the standout legislators who have attended CRTL functions (legislative luncheons) in the past, and who supported Personhood at a press conference in 2008.” [Colorado Right to Life, accessed 3/16/2010; Colorado for Equal Rights, press release, 3/20/2008; VIDEO Denver Channel, 3/17/2008]
- 2008 TV News Story Showed Gardner In Room With Several Republican Colleagues Signing On To Petition To Put Personhood Initiative On Colorado Ballot. “Udall’s campaign provided a television news story from March 17, 2008, that appears to briefly show Gardner in a room with several Republican colleagues signing on to the petition to put personhood on the Colorado ballot (around the 1-minute mark). Gardner’s campaign did not respond to questions about his support of the 2008 referendum.” [Politifact, 4/25/14]
IN 2006, GARDNER SAID HE WOULD SUPPORT A FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT “TO RESTORE FULL PROTECTION TO PREBORN HUMAN BEINGS” AND SUPPORTED A FEDERAL LAW DEFINING PERSONHOOD AT FERTILIZATION
2006: Gardner Said He Supported Amending The U.S. Constitution “To Restore Full Protection To Preborn Human Beings.” In 2006, Gardner completed a questionnaire for Colorado Right to Life. He checked “Y” when asked, “would you vote for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to restore full protection to preborn human beings.” [Colorado Right to Life, 2006 Voter Guide]
- 2006: Colorado Right-to-Life Asked Gardner If He Recognized Personhood Begins At Fertilization, Gardner Answered Yes. “In 2006, Colorado Right to Life asked all politicians running for office if they supported the Right to Life Act in Congress, ‘recognizing that personhood begins at fertilization.’ Gardner, then a first-term state representative answered yes.” [Politifact, 4/25/14; Colorado Right to Life, 2006 Voter Guide; H.R. 552, Right to Life Act, introduced 2/2/2005]
ANNCR: Now he says he’s switched positions.
TEXT “Cory Gardner changes position on personhood issue”
SOURCE: Denver Post, 3/21/14
HEADLINE – “Cory Gardner Changes Position On Personhood Issue” [Denver Post, 3/21/14]
Gardner “Dropped A Political Bombshell” When He Flip-Flopped His Position On Personhood Amendment. “Congressman Cory Gardner, who has been hammered for his position on social issues ever since he jumped into the U.S. Senate race, dropped a political bombshell Friday with his revelation that he was wrong to have supported previous personhood efforts. He said that after learning more about the measures, which would have had the impact of outlawing abortion, he realized the proposals also could ban certain forms of contraception, a prohibition he does not support. ‘This was a bad idea driven by good intentions,’ he told The Denver Post. ‘I was not right. I can’t support personhood now. I can’t support personhood going forward. To do it again would be a mistake.’” [Denver Post, 3/21/14]
“Gardner, Once A Strong Proponent of ‘Personhood’ Measures” Has Switched Positions. “Gardner, once a stronger proponent of “personhood” measures, says he’s changed his mind and accepts the argument of critics that such measures not only ban abortion but prohibit some forms of contraception. The congressman and his defenders say he’s merely being open-minded. They compare his shift to Udall abandoning his opposition to gay marriage in 2011.” [AP, 3/25/14]
Headline – “GOP Senate Candidate Cory Gardner Reverses ‘Personhood’ Stance” [AP, 3/22/14]
ANNCR: But in Washington, Gardner hasn’t changed at all. Cory Gardner is still sponsoring a personhood law… to make all abortions illegal … even for victims of rape and incest.

GARDNER IS SPONSORING A BILL RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BAN ALL ABORTIONS WITHOUT EXCEPTION
Gardner Cosponsored (And Is Currently Cosponsoring) the Life at Conception Act, Declared Life From The Moment of Fertilization. In July 2013, Gardner cosponsored the Life at Conception Act: “Life at Conception Act – Declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being beginning at the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual comes into being. Prohibits construing this Act to authorize the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.” The last action on this bill was a referral to the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice on 4/8/13. [Congress.gov, HR 1091, Introduced 3/12/13, Cosponsored 7/23/13]
- Gardner Was “Still A Co-Sponsor Of A Federal Version Of Personhood.” KDVR reported “Gardner has sought to soften his stance on women’s health issues since declaring his candidacy in late February, quickly coming out against Colorado’s personhood initiatives — he is still a co-sponsor of a federal version of personhood — and penning an Op-Ed outlining his support for making birth control available to women over the counter without a prescription from a doctor.” [KDVR, 9/3/14]
- Gardner Cosponsored the Measure in 2012 As Well. “Life at Conception Act – Declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being beginning at the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual comes into being. Prohibits construing this Act to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.” The last action on this bill was a referral to the House Committee on the Judiciary on 1/20/11. [Congress.gov, HR 374, Introduced 1/20/11, Co-Sponsored 3/20/12]
- Personhood Campaign Spox: Gardner Is “Still 100 Percent Behind The Federal Amendment.” In July 2014, KUNC reported “The change is position for Gardner hasn’t been well received with Amendment 67 supporters, like Jennifer Mason, a spokeswoman for the Yes on Amendment 67 Campaign. ‘Obviously he’s a victim of some bad political advice, there’s no reason for him to pull local support while he’s still 100 percent behind the federal amendment. It doesn’t make any sense,’ said Mason. By changing his position at the local level she said, Gardner is showing it’s more of a political game than personal conviction. ‘He certainly didn’t win over any Republicans,’ Mason said. ‘Our base here in Colorado is made up of Conservative voters, who have been very disappointed with Cory Gardner.’” [KUNC,7/24/14]
- Life Begins At Conception Act Defined A Human Being As “A Member Of The Species Homo Sapiens” At The Moment Of Fertilization. “To implement equal protection for the right to life of each born and preborn human person, and pursuant to the duty and authority of the Congress, including Congress’ power under article I, section 8, to make necessary and proper laws, and Congress’ power under section 5 of the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress hereby declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being. …Human person; human being.–The terms “human person” and “human being” include each and every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.” [HR 1091, Bill Text, introduced 3/12/2013]
Life Begins At Conception Act Is A Federal Personhood Measure. “Gardner co-sponsored a bill in Congress as recently as last year to give personhood status to fertilized eggs.” [AP,3/25/2014; KDVR, 3/24/2014]
- Personhood USA President, Op-Ed: Gardner Sponsored The “Life Begins At Conception Act” In Congress, Which Would Guarantee “Protections Of Personhood For All Unborn Children, Just Like The Personhood Bills Here In The State Of Colorado.” “Representative Gardner, you’ve long said you stood in defense of unborn life from the moment of fertilization, including by co-sponsoring the federal “Life Begins at Conception Act.” That act would guarantee the rights and protections of personhood for all unborn children, just like the personhood bills here in the state of Colorado. Tarnishing that pro-life record by repudiating personhood now makes you untrustworthy–the worst kind of politician. I don’t want to think the worst of you, but it’s hard not to draw the conclusion that you jettisoned your core principles in a transparently desperate attempt to win a few extra votes.”[Christian News Wire, Keith Mason, Personhood USA President, 4/3/14]
- Rand Paul, The Senate Sponsor Of The Life at Conception Act Said The Bill “Legislatively Declares … That Human Life Begins At The Moment Of Conception And Therefore Is Entitled To Legal Protection From That Point Forward.” The Huffington Post reported, “But Sen. Rand Paul is the Senate sponsor of the Life at Conception Act, which is identical to the bill co-sponsored by Gardner. And this is how Paul described his own bill in March of last year. ‘The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known-that human life begins at the moment of conception, and therefore is entitled to legal protection from that point forward.’” [Huffington Post, 7/28/14]
- Rand Paul Highlighted The 55 Million Abortions That Have Occurred Since Roe V. Wade And As A Result He Introduced The Life at Conception Act “In Order To Protect The Unborn From The Very Moment Life Begins.” The Huffington Post reported, “In January of this year, Paul released a statement saying: ‘Since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, 55 million abortions have taken place in America. The question remains, can a civilization long endure if it does not respect Life? It is the government’s duty to protect life, liberty, and property, but primarily and most importantly, a government must protect Life,’ Sen. Paul said. ‘In order to protect the unborn from the very moment Life begins, I introduced the Life at Conception Act. Today, our nation wavers and our moral compass is adrift. Only when America chooses, remembers and restores her respect for life will we re-discover our moral bearings and truly find our way.’ [Huffington Post, 7/28/14]
- Rep Boustany Said “This Bill Strikes At The Heart Of The Roe V. Wade Decision By Declaring Life At Conception, Granting Constitutional Protection To The Unborn Under The 14th Amendment. “After co-sponsoring the same Life at Conception Act in March, 2013, four months before Gardner signed on, Rep. Charles Boustany, (R-LA) issued a statement saying: ‘As a Member of Congress, I take the cause of fighting for the unborn just as seriously. That’s why I cosponsored H.R. 1091, the Life at Conception Act. This bill strikes at the heart of the Roe v. Wade decision by declaring life at conception, granting constitutional protection to the unborn under the 14th Amendment.’” [Huffington Post, 7/28/14]
- Pro Life Alliance: Life At Conception Act “Provides Basis for Protection of All Unborn by Legislatively Establishing Personhood.” The Pro Life Alliance wrote in a factsheet that the “Provides Basis for Protection of All Unborn by Legislatively Establishing Personhood. A Life at Conception Act – as introduced by Congressman Duncan Hunter (H.R. 618) – is legislation that, quite simply, would declare the unborn to be “persons” under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and therefore entitled to the right to life guaranteed therein.” The Duncan bill read: “To implement equal protection for the right to life of each born and preborn human person, and pursuant to the duty and authority of the Congress, including Congress’ power under article I, section 8, to make necessary and proper laws, and Congress’ power under section 5 of the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress hereby declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being. SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Act: (1) HUMAN PERSON; HUMAN BEING- The terms `human person’ and `human being’ include each and every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including, but not limited to, the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being. [HR 618, Bill Text, introduced 1/22/2007; Pro Life Alliance, Life at Conception Act, factsheet]
…WHICH WOULD BAN ALL ABORTIONS, EVEN IN CASES OF RAPE OR INCEST
Gardner Claimed He Supported Personhood “As A Means To Ban Abortion.” “Gardner is on record since 2006 supporting so-called personhood measures at the state and federal level. These bills and ballot initiatives generally said the rights afforded to a person would begin at the moment a human egg is fertilized. The federal bill would impact the definition of a person under the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, while the state measure would obviously affect only Colorado law. Gardner’s campaign says he backed the proposals as a means to ban abortion, not contraception…The Democratic ads say he ‘led the charge’ or conducted an ‘eight-year crusade’ that would ‘ban birth control.’ The word ‘crusade’ may be overstating it, but Gardner did support state ballot initiatives and co-sponsored federal personhood legislation in 2012 and 2013. The Gardner campaign says he had supported the measures as a means of banning abortion.” [FactCheck.org, 8/15/14]
Legislation That Defines A Fertilized Egg As A Human Being Would Ban All Abortions, Including Those Resulting From Rape And Incest, And Would Declare Common Forms Of Birth Control, Like The IUD, As Murder. In October 2011, the New York Times reported “A constitutional amendment facing voters in Mississippi on Nov. 8, and similar initiatives brewing in half a dozen other states including Florida and Ohio, would declare a fertilized human egg to be a legal person, effectively branding abortion and some forms of birth control as murder. […]The amendment in Mississippi would ban virtually all abortions, including those resulting from rape or incest. It would bar some birth control methods, including IUDs and ‘morning-after pills,’ which prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus. It would also outlaw the destruction of embryos created in laboratories.” [New York Times, 10/25/2011]
Dana Milbank: Life At Conception “Would Effectively Outlaw Abortion.” “Paul won’t get far if he persists with the foreign policy he laid out earlier this year at the Heritage Foundation; he describes himself as a ‘realist,’ but his form of realism might have sounded good to Senate Republicans in the 1930s. And, like his father, he makes politically expedient exceptions to his libertarianism; last week he introduced the Life at Conception Act, which would effectively outlaw abortion.” [Dana Milbank, Washington Post, 3/20/13]

Top 40 Trivia features the inspirations and fascinating facts behind 500 pop hits from 1955-2000.
Below is a sample page from Top 40 Trivia Vol 1
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (Queen) (1976)
EMI was reluctant to release the song as a single until heavy airplay from Kenny Everett on Londonís Capital Radio caused a sales demand. It spent 9 weeks at No 1 on the UK chart. At one point the song features 180 vocal overdubs.
BOMBORA (Atlantics) (1963)
The title is a surfing term meaning "large waves breaking over a submerged reef or rock shelf." The Australian recording charted in Holland and West Germany.
BONY MARONIE (Hush) (1975)
Robie Porter (aka Rob E.G.) was the one who insisted that Hush revive this 1957 Larry Williams hit. At first, none of the band were keen to record it. This single was their biggest hit and made No 1 in Australia.
BORN TO RUN (Bruce Springsteen) (1975)
This was his first hit single and was featured on his third album Born To Run. Before recording the song Springsteen said it was his goal to sing like Roy Orbison, with words like Bob Dylan's and a sound like Phil Spector's early-'60s productions.
BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY (Phil Collins) (1993)
Some of the lyrics were inspired by dialogue from the movie Grand Canyon (which starred Kevin Kline and Danny Glover).
BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER (Simon & Garfunkel) (1970)
Paul Simon was inspired to write this ballad after hearing a gospel song by the Swan Silvertones who sang - "I'll be your bridge over deep water if you trust my name."
BROTHER LOVE'S TRAVELLING SALVATION SHOW (Neil Diamond) (1969)
It was originally titled Mo Getta Mo. His wife Marsha hated the title and convinced him to change it.
BROWN EYED GIRL (Van Morrison) (1967)
Morrison says he wrote the song originally as Brown Skinned Girl but producer Bert Berns changed the lyrics. It was recorded in two takes.
BROWN SUGAR (Rolling Stones) (1971)
The song was created by Mick Jagger during a visit to Australia when he was playing around on an acoustic guitar.
BURN FOR YOU (John Farnham) (1990)
Farnham wrote the words which relate to the times that he's absent from his wife Jillian.
BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX (Glen Campbell) (1967)
It was written by Jimmy Webb and inspired by his former girlfriend Susan. (He also had her in mind when he wrote MacArthur Park.) It was first recorded by Johnny Rivers as an album track. Glen Campbell heard Rivers' version and decided to cut it as a single.
BYE BYE BABY (Col Joye) (1959)
Recorded when Col had a bad head cold. The producer had to edit out quite a few wheezes and coughs. The song was given to Joye by Sydney radio announcer John Burls who discovered the song amongst some US demo records.
BYE BYE LOVE (Everly Brothers) (1957)
29 singers turned down the song before the Everly Brothers agreed to record it. Elvis Presley was one of the artists it was offered to.
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN' (The Mamas & The Papas) (1967)
It was written by John Phillips in Manhattan's Earle Hotel in 1963. At the time John's 19-year-old wife Michelle Phillips had been complaining about New York's cold, grey winter and those words inspired the song's lyrics. It was first recorded by Barry McGuire as the follow-up to Eve Of Destruction but the Mamas & the Papas decided instead to release it as a single and so Barry's version wasn't released.

PANAJI (Web Desk) – An Indian court on Friday cleared two men accused of the rape and homicide of 15-year-old British schoolgirl Scarlett Keeling whose bruised and semi-nude body was found on a Goa beach in 2008.
“I find them not guilty of all charges,” Judge Vandana Tendulkar said after the trial of Samson D’Souza and Placido Carvalho in the state capital Panaji.
D’Souza and Carvalho had been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, using force with intent to outrage a woman’s modesty and of administering drugs with intent to harm.
Scarlett’s body was found on the popular Anjuna beach in the north of the small Indian tourist state, popular with Western hippies. The teenager’s death in 2008 became international news, shining a spotlight on the seedy side of the resort destination and also drawing attention to India’s sluggish justice system.
Police initially dismissed her death as an accidental drowning but opened a murder investigation after MacKeown pushed for a second autopsy which proved she had been drugged and raped. It showed that Keeling had suffered more than 50 injuries to her body.
The trial began in 2010 but was dogged by numerous delays, including hearings of just one afternoon a month due to a backlog of cases and a public prosecutor withdrawing from proceedings. A key witness, Briton Michael Mannion, known as “Masala Mike”, also refused to testify, dealing a huge blow to the prosecution’s case. He had initially spoken of seeing D’Souza lying on top of Keeling on the beach shortly before she died.
MacKeown and her family were on a six-month holiday to India when she, Keeling and her other daughters went on an excursion to the southern state of Karnataka, but Keeling later returned alone to attend a party. Her body was found on the morning of February 18, 2008.

llaria Turba is a visual artist working mainly with photography, video and animation to create artworks, installations, site specific projects and communication projects. Her works are the result of a personal experience that intertwines visual experimentation with other disciplines: social science, performative art, oral history and very often the result of a collaboration with other artists, artisans and professionals
JEST is her first photobook and has been released at the end of 2016 by the Berlin-based publisher Peperoni Books. In January 2018 the first solo exhibition of JEST will open at the Museum l’Atelier in Nantes (FR).
JEST originates from Ilaria Turba’s exploration of her own family photo archive: five generations of images dating from 1870 to today are the starting point for a visual search. Photography, manipulated or not, is intertwined with other disciplines like dance, sound and storytelling. The body of work and the exhibition, involving game and action, offers the viewer a new experience of perceiving and seeing.
JEST, which means prank, takes shape when, among the many photographs of the family archive, two emerge: the departure of Apollo 11 and a woman carrying a rifle. This combination, born from the case, creates a funny and significant short circuit. Turba takes this accidental invitation to the game, turning it into a pretext to cross the photographic material with a different look and reflect on the meaning of photography today.
Looking at the images of JEST is just like riding a roller coaster: as soon as you think you understand where the author wants to lead you, the direction suddenly changes. You just have to do two things: keep asking yourself if what we see is real, and never stop being surprised by the beauty and the magic of what surrounds us.

KANSAS CITY, Mo -- Do you feel like you're chained to your desk and chair at work? You can get up. New research shows what happens in your blood when you do.
Jim Gately is really a stand-up guy. Since May, the electrical designer has purposely stood four to six hours a day at his desk.
"I feel more energized when I go home," said Gately.
He could be getting other benefits in his blood. Australian researchers found an extra two hours a day of standing instead of sitting was associated with lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The findings add to evidence that standing more may lower heart disease and diabetes risk.
Employers are taking notice. Gately's employer, Burns & McDonnell, will open a new headquarters building in Kansas City next year.
"We have added fourteen hundred new adjustable work stations, so that will allow people to move from a sitting position to a standing position throughout the day," said Lauren Dunn, a benefits administrator.
The new research found standing didn't result in a smaller waistline or body mass index. You had to replace two hours of sitting with stepping to get those benefits.
Julia Bartak, a Burns & McDonnell employee, walks or runs over her lunch hour. She and co-workers also sometimes have "moving meetings." They talk and walk.
"It helps us kinda focus and gives us some energy and helps us stay, I guess, productive during the day," said Bartak.
Dunn added, "Any way that you can incorporate that into your daily life, not necessarily in a workout, but in walking movement, that's great."
Researchers say the message is to stand up, sit less, and move more for your heart and overall health. The study is published in the European Heart Journal.

Most physical and emotional problems are often helped by acupressure because acupressure helps get to the root causes of disease, rather than simply address the symptoms. Often the root cause of illness comes from imbalances of qi in the body. I typically work with clients in one-hour Energetic Acupressure Wellness Treatments that are geared to helping with general physical and emotional issues.
Examples of the types of treatment include:
Acute colds, rashes (including allergic reactions to poison ivy, Shingles and Cellulitis), or other recently developed issues
Chronic long-term illness, sometimes unexplained or well-known but difficult to shift, such as asthma, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Endometriosis, migraines, and other auto-immune issues
Inherited issues or developmental issues
Emotional distress (long or short term), including anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
One hour Energetic Acupressure sessions can help you find greater balance and harmony in your body/mind/spirit. Energetic acupressure is often very relaxing and not painful. Occasionally, some points are very tender, but generally clients do not experience pain in the sessions.
Sometimes I also recommend other more specialized treatments for specific issues. See Treatments for more information.

Since tonight is Guy Fawkes Night in England I have been thinking about torture. Guy Fawkes, after being captured near barrels of gunpowder in the basement of the British Parliament, was executed for treason using a rather barbaric, by modern standards, method of being hanged, drawn, and quartered. This method of execution, although utterly ruthless, was reserved for traitors to the crown. Before his execution, Guy Fawkes was tortured for information regarding his co-conspirators. Four hundred and two years ago in England this method of interrogation had to be approved by the king. I am not saying that we should bring back some of the wonderful methods used in Medieval Europe, but it would be nice to have somebody in the government finally decided if torture is constitutional. Because, clearly, when dealing with people like the current crop of crazies, regular methods just don't apply. We can not torture people one day and apologizes to them for it the next because we now think that torture in unconstitutional. Tougher enemies and tougher times call for tougher measures.

Set up timesheets
|Before your team members can start Step 2: Turn in a timesheet, an administrator needs to set up a few things. Some things are required, and other options are there in case you want to go beyond the basics.|
The easiest way to set things up
If you don't want to do a whole lot of work to get timesheets up and running, the only one thing you really need to do is set up how often you want timesheets turned in.
If you go with the default options when you set things up, you'll end up with everything you need to have your team members turn in timesheets once a week for a year. Simple! The only thing you need to define is the start date for the first week, and Project Web App will take care of the rest.
- Go to PWA Settings.
In Project Web App, choose Settings > PWA Settings.
Under Time and Task Management, choose Time Reporting Periods.
Set a start date.
If you want timesheets turned in weekly, the only thing you need to change under Define Bulk Period Parameters is Date the first period starts.
A best practice here is to set your first week to start on the first day of the week containing the first day of your fiscal year. For example, if your organization's fiscal year starts on Tuesday, July 1, it might make sense to have your first batch of timesheets start on the Sunday or Monday before that.
Set the format for period names.
Under Define Batch Naming Convention, you can leave things alone if you want and everything will work just fine. However, a lot of organizations prefer to add some structure to how each time reporting period is named.
Without a Prefix or a Suffix, your time reporting periods will use simple incremental numbers (1, 2, 3, and so on). Team members will be able to turn in timesheets just fine with this basic naming.
Adding some structure to the naming gives each reporting period some context. For example, you can set up reporting periods that are named "Week1_FY15," "Week2_FY15," and so on. This can be helpful if you need to refer to older timesheets.
As you add a prefix and suffix, an example name is shown.
Create periods and save.
Choose Create Bulk.
Need your timesheets to do more?
If you find that the basic timesheets aren't capturing enough information, you can make them a little more substantial.
Here are some ways you can take things a bit further:
Add categories of work to capture different types of time, like research or development, or to capture bigger-picture efforts where your organization may be investing across multiple projects.
Add non-project categories for time spent on other aspects of work, like training or travel.
Set up your fiscal year so that you can map project work against your overall financial plans.
There are also some settings you may want to change that affect how time and task progress is captured and handled in your organization.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which is best known for organizing the Oscars has announced its love for open source tech. It has joined hands with the Linux Foundation to establish the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF).
The objective of ASWF is to increase the quality and quantity of contributions to the entertainment industry through open-source projects. It will provide a neutral platform to facilitate cross-project efforts, a common built and test infrastructure.
The founding members behind this initiative include big names like Google, Walt Disney Studios, Cisco, DreamWorks, Intel, SideFX, Blue Sky Studios, Epic Games, Animal Logic, etc.
Nearly 84% of Hollywood already uses open source software to throw in visual effects and animation in film production. But all of that work has been accomplished in isolation by different companies till now.
Also, licensing such work has proved to be a challenge, partly because studios didn’t know which license they should choose. The foundation would probably try to solve this problem through shared licensing templates, and also look after the management of relevant open source projects.
With the Academy Software Foundation, open source developers in the motion picture and media space will now be able to join their efforts and bring the next wave of innovation through interoperability.

Tranquil Garden Design in La Mesa
Garden design in La Mesa is about much more than choosing the right flowers or stones for your rock path. Your space should radiate tranquility and peace, so you have a comfortable place to rest after a long workday. Grass Doctor Landscape Inc has yeas of experience designing quality gardens in the area, but how do we do it?
What Is the Garden Design Process?
The design process for any garden has six main steps. If needed, we will adjust to meet our clients’ needs. However, this is a general overview of the process.
- • Professional Consultation: First, we’ll speak with your directly about your ideal garden space and your budget range. We’ll help you make your design elements cohesive and help you cut costs where we can.
- • Design Planning: After the consultation, we’ll have a much better idea of how to proceed with the design. Our team will sketch the design so you can visualize your new space without a problem.
- • Client Approval: We won’t proceed with a design until we get approval from you. It’s your garden and you should retain control of the final product.
- • Design Blueprint: While a sketch is best to help clients visualize, construction blueprints help us communicate effective with our team. Once you’ve approved the design, we’ll get to work on the blueprint.
- • Building and Planting: The next and last step is building your garden to your specifications. What happens first or last will depend on your unique design as well as your timeline.
Do You Want Front or Backyard Garden?
A front yard garden can certainly increase your curb appeal while a backyard space can serve as an escape from the rest of the world. When deciding between the two areas, think about your ideal space and the limitations of the space you do have. If you have a space that’s oblong or unconventionally shaped, we can help you transform it into a functional and warm setting.
Popular Garden Ideas
If you’ve been looking around online, you’ll already know there are tons of great design ideas that are perfect for your garden. You might think you don’t have enough space or these two elements won’t fit together, but our design team can work wonders. Keep looking for your must-haves list and consider a few of our most popular garden elements:
- • Fountains
- • Ponds
- • Subtle lighting
- • Gazebo
- • Bench seating

Can you offer maternity coverage in the USA
Pacific Prime is able to provide International Health Insurance Plans with comprehensive Maternity Health Insurance benefits. We can offer Maternity Health Insurance Plans to individuals residing in Egypt, with medical coverage extending to all areas of the world, including the USA.
Our International Health Insurance plans at Pacific Prime generally provide Worldwide Coverage, which means you are able to use your health insurance policy in any area of the world. Our 'globally portable' plans allow you to continue your Health Insurance policy in any area of the world, whether you are relocating overseas, traveling to another country, or returning to your home country. A number of our International Health Insurance plans can also offer Geographic Coverage benefits, which will allow you the choice to exclude an area of medical coverage, in order to reduce the impact on your premium.
At Pacific Prime we have a range of Maternity Health Insurance policies that can be included on your International Health Insurance plan. Our insurance providers normally offer different levels of maternity care, with coverage often including benefits for standard delivery, prenatal care, emergency Cesarian operations, amongst other benefits.
Most insurance companies will place a 'waiting period' on Maternity Health Insurance policies. At the start of the plan, maternity expenses will not be covered until this 'waiting period' is over. The duration of the Maternity waiting period will vary between insurers; however it is typically between 10 to 12 months from the start of the plan. After the waiting period is completed, policy holders may claim for maternity related expenses covered on their Maternity Health Insurance Plan.
In many cases we can typically offer plans which provide a 'New Born Child' coverage benefit. While a New Born Child benefit will usually be attached to a waiting period, this is often much shorter than those associated with Maternity Coverage; in some cases as short as 6 months from the start of the plan. A New Born Child benefit will typically be applied in one of two ways; the child may receive a “Free Benefit” for coverage under the policy, or they may be “Born Into The Plan.”
1. Free Benefit
If the child receives a Free Benefit under the policy then they will be provided medical insurance coverage up to a pre-determined time, or financial limit. Once the limit has been reached you must submit an application to the insurer for continuing coverage.
2. Born into the Plan
If the child is born into the existing Policy then they will be guaranteed continuing coverage from birth no matter what the state of their health. If it is important to note that having your child 'born into the plan' will increase your policy premium.
A Travel Health Insurance Plan may be another option for you. Travel Health Insurance generally covers medical expenses relating to an illness or accident, for the duration of the period selected by the policy holder. In some cases, a Travel Health Insurance Plan may cover medical expenses relating to pregnancy complications, in the event of an accident or illness; however, this coverage is not universal and will vary by insurer.
Premiums are generally calculated on your age and geographic location, as well as other additional Coverage Options you decide to include on your International Health Insurance Plan. Health care costs vary within different countries, as such the country you reside in may have an affect on your premium. 'Geographic Coverage' is an option that is provided by some insurers, which can reduce your premium by excluding an area of the world covered on your International Health Insurance Plan. Areas such as the US are typically excluded by policy holders in order to reduce the impact on their premium. In some cases, during the renewal of your International Health Insurance policy, Geographic Coverage can be modified to suit your changing needs.
Pacific Prime has a large range of insurance providers that offer various different International Health Insurance Plans that include Maternity Health policies.

Check out Jeff Wignall's ProPhotoDaily interview with Tony Gale about using the Sony α6300 for its speed capabilities.
"[F]or some time DSLR cameras were faster to focus, but when the α6000 came out it was quite fast and now with the α6300 it is crazy fast and has the fastest autofocus of any camera I have ever used. Also being able to shoot low or high with the tilting LCD screen without the limitations of having to look through a viewfinder can be a huge asset. The α6300 is the first camera I have ever used that tracks runners going as fast as they can." -Tony Gale in ProPhotoDaily

Day 3 began with more sunshine than Day 2, thankfully. Blue skies made the trip through Grand Teton National Park much more enjoyable. I had to travel the same route as the previous day in order to reach the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park, but this time, there was plenty more to see.
Perhaps one of the most beautiful and photogenic spots in Grand Teton National Park is Oxbow Bend, an appendage of the Snake River that was left behind, when the river cut a new path, just slightly to the south. US 26/89/191 runs right by here, and if conditions are perfect, you’ll get a nice reflection of the mountains on the water. On this day, conditions were not perfect, but still pretty darned beautiful.
Just a few hundred feet from the Oxbow Bend parking area, a large crowd had gathered, including dozens of photographers with ridiculously long lenses all pointed in the same direction. Someone had spotted a moose in the brush between the water and the road. Unfortunately, this moose had no idea that scores of shutter-happy humans were patiently waiting for it to move out of the thicket and into plain view. It seems a moose does whatever a moose wants to do, and there’s no specific schedule it has to keep. Everyone patiently waited, including me, for quite a while, but this was the best photo I could get.
Note: This trip was first published in 2007.

Today – Family travelpack 101 – the most useful holiday stuff you need for your packing sheet
Remember when you could sling some clothes and a toothbrush into a bag and head off somewhere exciting? I’m betting that was before kids, right? Now holiday packing can turn into a military operation, particularly during those first few years with young kids.
Luckily you’re not the first to try to squeeze half the house into the back a family hatchback. Many parents have braved this before you and figured out how to make packing for a holiday easier and what you need that you might not have thought of. Here are some recommendations from a few of my favourite parenting bloggers:
- I bring clothes pegs not just for the mass hand washing but to seal half finished large bags of crisps. Jenny – Mum of One
- A roll of tinfoil and some masking tape to black out the window in the kids bedroom. Kirsty – The Mummysphere
- My gp prescribes antibiotics that I can take with me because Erin always gets ill! Ear infections are common from swimming. Emma – Emma & 3
- I always take tea bags and uht milk sticks. Invariably we land late at night, or first thing in the morning and I NEED a cuppa before hitting the supermarket. I even do it when we go to a hotel in the UK as there are never enough! – Tanya – Mummy Barrow
- Cross packing – so you put some of each persons clothes in a different suitcase so if one goes missing it’s not a disaster. Also zip lock bags for damp swimmers / toothbrushes etc. Kate – Mums Online
- On long car journeys we take a small bucket & a supply of nappy bags which we use as a sick bucket. Helen – The Crazy Kitchen
- The blue shoe covers you get when spectating at swimming lessons are handy for putting over the bottom of shoes. Penny – Parentshaped
- Matches because we always need them for candles, cookers and barbecues etc. Emma – Bavarian Sojourn
- I always carry pistachios, a little protein hit for my veggie kids if all else fails. Becky – Eat Simply
- Lots of different colored plastic bags to sort everyone’s clothes and dirty washing. Maggy – Red Ted Art
So there’s our Travelpack 101. What advice would you add? Do leave us a comment. Also, don’t forget to check out my tips for making car journeys with kids fun.

Having recently taken on an allotment, we are trying to set it up for as little money as possible. That challenge is working out quite well so far, but today I found a fantastic bargain (at least I think it is) so I thought it only fair to share.
This week only Aldi are selling fruit plants for £1.99 each. I got there first thing expecting tiny little plants which would take ages to get going, but was very surprised to see what was on offer and would highly recommend.
As you can see from my quick photo I went a little mad, but I can’t resist a bargain. For just under £28 I got 2 x blackberry, 2 x kiwi, 2 x goji berry, 2 x loganberry, 2 x fig, 1 x tayberry, 1 x gooseberry, 1 x red grape and 1 x white grape!!!!
If you are a gardener/allotmenteer get down there quick!

Studies reveal that suicide claims more than 100 lives. Unfortunately, people are still uncomfortable talking about this issue, yet the news of people who have committed suicide continues to be read on the obituaries. However, the deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain a few days apart have shed more light on this issue, and people are finally opening up to speak about it. In fact, research reveals that close to 45,000 Americans commit suicide every year, yet people are still treating the issue as a secret. The issue of suicide has been surrounded by misunderstanding and fear, which leads to lack of action.
According to Patch, the worst bit about suicide is that the loved ones of the dead always feel guilty and ashamed because they feel that they could have done something different to prevent the death of their family member. Unfortunately, family and friends cannot know that something is wrong with you when you don’t talk about it. Also, the other reason why suicide cases are on the rise is that people don’t know how to react. Surprisingly, suicide also affects successful people. In fact, most suicidal people believe that nothing can be done to help them. However, the best way to end suicide cases is to open communication lines; hence, you should reach out to someone you think is struggling with depression.
Ara Chackerian is based in San Francisco. He is well-known as a philanthropist and an established entrepreneur. Ara spent most of his career life in the healthcare sector bridging the gap between health care services and technology. He also has an interest in youth development and environmental cases. Ara Chackerian recently spoke in an interview about his recent ventures where he revealed that he wanted to venture into TSM Health Solutions together with his longtime business partner. As a result, Ara spent close to a decade working on network centers in northern California. You can check out their Vimeo account for more videos.
The vision of TSM Health Solutions is to design a care delivery model that enabled patients and physicians to attain their desired goals. The methodology should be geared towards putting the interest of the patient first regarding treatment and experience. The new venture was formed about two years ago, and they have managed to build seven new facilities that serve Sacramento and San Francisco.
From Humble beginnings, the founder of OSI Group, formerly doing business as Otto & Sons, started his butcher shop in 1909. Another new face came into the picture mid-century, someone with a small hamburger joint that he planned to franchise. The restaurant agreed to partner with Otto & Sons and receive their beef products exclusively from Otto. As the hamburger stand grew, the demand increased for the beef products from Otto & Sons. Together they made a fast food legend, known all over the world as McDonald’s Hamburgers.
Bigger, Better, Bolder
With the early rapid expansion of McDonald’s, the company needed to produce more and more beef patties. They accomplished this in the 70’s by dedicating a state of the art facility solely for the products that were served in McDonald’s restaurants. By this time, the company was transitioned into OSI Industries, and is now the Food Processing Giant OSI Group. The CEO has focused on expansion in the last few years. The demand for processed meat products on the global level has created an opportunity for OSI Group to expand into it’s current 65 facilities across international borders. The headquarters are located in Illinois, but there are processing plants in 17 countries. With expansion came further opportunities, including the implementation of additional foods, such as the Riverside, CA plant produces. This plant processes salsa, tofu, and bean products. Additionally OSI Group has vegetable and frozen retail products.
Leader In The Industry
Continued growth has been a true American Dream story. From a German Immigrant named Otto Kolschowsky to one of the most prominent Food distributors in the world, the small family business became a leader in supplying major retailers with fresh processed foods. From poultry to fish, beef to bacon and everything in between the multi-billion dollar company has negotiated the acquisition of major food suppliers such as Tyson and Baho Foods. The expansion into Asia-Pacific regions, Australia, and South American countries in addition to many more, was a smart move for OSI, but two of the major contributors are Europe and China. The introduction into the WTO made China’s ability to implement a facility in their country possible. Now OSI Group has additionally opened a dedicated R&D facility in Shanghai. The extreme growth in the 70’s was a result of OSI’s commitment to innovation, and it seems that the same is true today. With the CEO Sheldon Lavin’s dedicated efforts in R&D, food safety, efficacy, and environmental impacts, the future of the company is definitely sound.

Ryan Seacrest is a household name. Seacrest is possibly best known for hosting “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest,” an annual tradition for many. It may surprise you however, that until the past year he didn’t even live in New York, he resided in Los Angeles. Ryan Seacrest initially moved to host “Live” with Kelly Ripa. His new projects however have not stopped him from pursuing any of his others: from producing TV series like “American Idol” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” to running his own skin care and fashion line.
The 43-year-old, other than being a TV and radio show host, is constantly on the go and he shared his routine that helps him to achieve it all. Seacrest wakes up daily around 6:00am starting with a shower and shave. He dresses comfortable and casual most of the time in sweats, a T-shirt, and zip-up hoodie. An ordinary breakfast for Ryan Seacrest consists of matcha tea and coffee. Very avid about working out, Seacrest usually gets it done during the day whenever he can fit it into his schedule. Most recently he has been boxing and claims if anyone were to try and jump him he would be ready. Before heading to work Seacrest likes to catch up on all the overnight news and watch a bit of television. According to the Mens Journal, Ryan had a weight struggle, read more.
Earlier in Seacrest’s career, other than being busy with his charity, he claims he tried to answer every question as it was asked, and this led to his day feeling like a constant “fire fight.” Today he has learned to balance out what is asked of him, explaining it is okay to put things in queue. Seacrest, although very active with fans and social media has admitted to locking his phone in a safe when he is on a trip. He wants to live in the moment, and focus more on the people in the room than those on the phone. Seacrest has made a name for himself, making entertaining look easy. He claims it isn’t easy but as Dick Clark once told him, if you make people think it is then your doing it right.

To take care of these symptoms, Neurocore has a workable program that has been proven to work. They start with a neuro assessment in order to understand how the patient’s brain works. With an advanced qEEG tech, the brains electrical activity is measured and evaluated to determine the cause of the signs of depression. After that, through the neurofeedback program, the client is guided to make the brain function better regardless of the stresses of the day.
Toner believes that the right attitude is the best tool for all situations, believing that everything is all about perspective. Obstacle? Risk? Opportunity? Reward? Attitude is key in meeting and obtaining goals; and in real estate, there is always an opportunity.
According to Jim Toner‘s philosophy, it’s important to be surrounded with like minds and people who will ultimately aid one in meeting and obtaining goals. It’s also important to stay positive and Toner encourages everyone to read the stories of successful people to further drive and motivate one toward their goals.
Another piece of advice from Toner’s philosophy as per affiliatedork.com is that being healthy and in good condition physically. Good health leads to a better attitude, mind, body, and soul, making it easier to think and make better decisions. It’s critical to incorporate good habits with trying to achieve financial freedom, make every day count by consistently working toward your goals. Toner also feels that laughter is truly the best medicine, as it releases chemicals into the brain that aid in balancing the mind.
Jim Toner’s has further advice which would be regarded as pretty scary by the average American, but by working for another person, one can’t even work for themselves. Learning sales is another critical step to success. When one develops the skill to sell, people will like, respect, and buy from that individual with a purpose.
But all in all, what’s important to remember is that there is no secret or magic formula to success. Success is all about the individual and how they choose to make their life more successful. But as success comes, it’s key not to let go of one’s integrity and to always remain honest and humble.
Money means freedom. Money can’t solve every problem in life, but financial matters won’t exactly be a source of significant stress. News about an exciting way to earn money can draw people’s attention. Freedom Checks positively do attract attention. The potential distribution of more than $34 billion of these checks to investors raises eyebrows. Reports of people finding six-figure Freedom Checks in their mailbox prove intriguing. Learn more about Freedom Checks at dailyreckoning.com.
What are these checks? How do they work? These checks refer to distribution payments from successful investors. The specific investment opportunity is a Master Limited Partnership (MLP).
An MLP refers to a unique business venture rooted in the oil and natural gas industry. An MLP shares similarities to an LLP, but the distinctions are significant. Master Limited Partnership seek investment funds through a publicly traded venture. Two “90% rules” exist with MLPs. First, the businesses must be 90% involved with domestic oil/natural gas enterprises. Second, 90% of all revenues generated by the MLP must be paid out to investors. Paying a massive 90% yields an equally substantial tax benefit to the company.
When an MLP issues a distribution to an investor, the investor receives his/her “Freedom Check.” Obviously, the MLP must generate revenues before issuing Freedom Checks. No one should assume Freedom Checks refer to a grant program or other type of government benefit. They come solely from the private sector. The government did play a significant role in the creation of the checks.
Years ago, Congress passed legislation establishing the rules and tax benefits associated with MLPs and Freedom Checks. Today, investors can take advantage of these opportunities if they prove to be a proper fit. Investments in natural resources may only appeal to a limited number of investors. That’s fine. No investment appeals to everyone. Those interested in potentially aggressive investment strategies may wish to learn more about MLPs and how they issue distributions.

From that point on, formulating a resume cover letter to http://www.games2jolly.com/profile/octaviagroc obtain a go back to support looks to be very good choice.
Delivered, alumni end up as an not aware prey to be in a big hurry who require curriculum vitae producing or learning to jot down resume cover letter for curriculum vitae soon get them to call us. Personnel which actually work along with us hold substantial knowledge in engaging in this group of tasks for scholarly schools at virtually any levels. We ensures performing higher-high-quality sales with the very first advantage in addition, which is all the more essential, cheaply.
All orders placed our team has supplied is completely one of a kind. You can expect bringing completely new information that passed on programmed anti–plagiarism assessment. Acquiring posting a continue on our web page is unquestionably planning to offer a chance to acquire the best doable knowledge with regard to publishing a continue resume cover letter.
Ranging from their 1st year in college or university the graduate students are getting ready to find out how to publish a resume cover letter and keep on which includes to demonstrate their expert certification and goal to work their key. Also for the reason that commencing grads take care of carries on hostility to authoring return to, job cover letter. That really work is carried out carelessly in addition it is almost always created through the night. This predisposition evokes a concern: no matter if the grad is way too slack to pin the blame on as well as the whole entire product is thus far from most suitable?
The primary objective of crafting a job cover letter for go back to is legitimate only if your grad properly investigates many referrals and earnings when using the task independently without having keep on creating vendors guidance. Provided with which you use the bits of documents proudly located by way of net-established resources, you will preferable to request authoring resumes than wiping out the time without having any use. Doing a report without any help requests for great a lot of time. Maybe, if ever the conditions happen to be far more good, a lot more grads could possibly have made an effort to prepare yourself curriculum vitae and resume cover letter formulating without the need for service. It is actually seriously not easy to admit and technique 25 and many more personal references or high light each special excerpt when crafting the thesis.
On the other hand, the basis of the catch is shown to have yet another origins. A scholar begins a behavior to find in-package device of creating resumes on the internet on the 1st year in higher education. It truly is distinct for anyone who is it’s not more likely to write an abstract of 25 webpages following just about every industry time and situations when getting a college degree. This work load may be pertaining to specialized authoring organization, nonetheless not all the persons have the disposition to quickly learn how to turn into a creator.
As soon as the entrance exams are right behind to make certain that whatever you hoped has occured, real world intrudes from the knowing operation and photographs of this alumni once had. In contrast to mastering critical things to become skilled trained professionals, undergraduates start off quite heavy arranging and compelled sleep problems. But there are plenty of extra lessons appeared which teachers publicize to get quite vital. The ones groups should not be regarded as perfect in the future career at any rate, however are pre-identified to accomplishing perfect for increasing on the whole subject matter which have been certainly, handy and not a lot more than the main. If which it ended up only instructional classes which do not necessarily suggest any duties, university students could accept it in some manner, even though every different one of those often consider creating a lot of courseworks that rob you of important many hours.

THE term “hacker” typically conjures up images of computer-savvy villains devilishly clicking and typing their way into unsuspecting victims’ computer systems. Within the software development community, however, hacking has a more positive purpose. “To hack” is to innovate, test, and experiment with computer code to create new, purposeful software for various applications.
Livermore has taken a page from the software industry’s playbook, conducting special events during which computer scientists throughout the Laboratory have 24 hours in which to brainstorm, develop, and improve software products. This friendly competition, known as ShipIt days, provides an outlet for developers to explore different software languages and to collaborate with others in their field. “During ShipIt, employees have autonomy to work on software-related products that they find interesting without the added pressure of having to make the project succeed,” says Kyle Dickerson, a Livermore software engineer and ShipIt participant. “The opportunity to be creative with few restrictions helps boost employee morale, motivation, and ingenuity.” By providing a break from regular work activities, the events help employees reinvigorate their software-developing psyche.
ShipIt projects focus on either advancing a Laboratory mission or developing a relevant skill, and employees are free to evaluate a wide range of products that may or may not have immediate applicability to their work activities. “ShipIt events provide a venue for rapid code development,” says Katherine Lewis, a Livermore computer scientist and one of the event organizers. “They are a time for employees to indulge in inklings or interests that could potentially lead to programmatic applications.”
The ShipIt day name and format are derived from a similar program created by Atlassian, an Australian-based software development company. Two weeks before an event, organizers and participants meet to discuss the day’s schedule, suggest project ideas, form teams, and outline project goals. The actual event occurs over a 24-hour period, but teams are not required to participate the entire time. Toward the end of the day, teams present their results to fellow participants. Xinh Huynh, a former Livermore computer scientist and past event organizer, says, “It’s a little like being on ‘American Idol.’ After the final presentations, the audience votes for the best project. The judges are people we consider Computation ‘celebrities’—division leaders and other high-level managers.”
Nearly 80 Computation employees took part in the first three ShipIt days, working in their offices, conference rooms, or the High-Performance Computing Innovation Center (see S&TR, September 2012, Venturing into the Heart of High-Performance Computing Simulations), which is part of the Livermore Valley Open Campus. Events for Global Security and for Livermore Computing (LC) in the Computation Directorate were held August 24–25, 2012, with the competition beginning at noon one day and ending at noon the next. Computation’s Applications, Simulations, and Quality Division held the third event on February 28 and March 1, 2013.
Future ShipIt days will be interdepartmental, encouraging an even broader range of ideas. Outstanding projects from the first competitions include a mobile Android application for counterproliferation efforts; a portlet for viewing computer simulation results via a Web browser; and a widget for LabBook, the Laboratory’s internal social network.
Software engineers in Global Security are devising applications to navigate and analyze the massive amounts of data acquired in support of counterproliferation efforts. One such application is Element Centric (EleCent), a component in the Laboratory’s Counterproliferation Analysis and Planning System. (See S&TR, December 2011, Data for Defense: New Software Finds It Fast.) EleCent allows users to store, update, retrieve, and analyze critical data, including the location and type of hazardous materials housed at facilities worldwide. It combines an enormous database with Web-based tools for viewing results in various formats, from tabular lists to geospatial maps. A Google Earth plug-in summarizes data in a geospatial display.
Dickerson and two colleagues used ShipIt time to develop an app that displays EleCent data on an Android device, such as a tablet or phone. “The GPS component of mobile systems makes an EleCent app appealing,” says Dickerson. “It would allow users to get information specific to their exact location, such as what facilities and materials are nearby that they need to be aware of.” He adds that this type of tool has potential for defense applications and for humanitarian efforts. “Someone working in an active emergency response zone, for example, would be able to identify the locations of facilities in the area and the types of hazards they present.”
For ShipIt, team members configured their desktop computers to run Google’s software development kit for Android apps and divided project tasks among members. “Prior to the event, we were not allowed to write any code,” says Dickerson. Over the next several hours, they overcame coding, database, and interface issues to deliver a simple working prototype for their final presentation. “We created a working model that retrieves actual data and displays the results on a mobile device.”
More extensive work would be needed before the tool could be deployed for defense applications, but the EleCent mobile app prototype shows what is possible. “We’ve demonstrated that the technology fits nicely into our programmatic work,” says Dickerson. “It offers real potential for our customers.”
Project teams are much freer to experiment when they are less concerned about an idea failing. A project by Global Security software engineers Tim Bender and Josh Oakgrove demonstrates how a ShipIt team can change direction and still yield fruitful results. “We started working on a neural network framework for Java that could be used for space situational awareness,” says Bender. (See S&TR, July/August 2009, Preventing Close Encounters of the Orbiting Kind.) “The framework would help users determine the difference between the estimated and actual elliptical drift of an object around Earth.”
After finding open-source software for the application, the engineers hacked on that code for several hours until they realized they did not have enough time to produce results with their data set. At midnight, they abandoned their initial idea and started a completely different project: developing a Klout score component to LabBook. With only 12 hours remaining for ShipIt, they decided the Klout score project had a better chance of success in such a short time.
Klout scores measure user engagement and activity on social networking sites based on several factors, including number of subscribers. “We had to remap the LabBook data model to obtain metrics for our ShipIt application,” says Bender, who had worked on the social networking site when he first started at the Laboratory. The LabBook developers used multiple programming languages, such as SQL and PHP with HTML, to integrate the existing LabBook with the new model. “By the end of ShipIt, we had a full beta version of the application.” One month later, the application was added to LabBook as part of a routine upgrade, allowing users to view scores that rank their influence on the site.
Bender sees the benefits of ShipIt from both an employee standpoint and that of the institution. “These types of events engage employees and motivate them to do something they wouldn’t normally have considered, and that could potentially help Laboratory missions,” he says. The team is already looking to improve the current version of the application, for example, by providing percentile rankings among users.
Lawrence Livermore is renowned for its high-performance computing environment and is home to some of the world’s fastest supercomputers and sophisticated software that optimizes these machines. For another ShipIt event, Cyrus Harrison, Brad Whitlock, and Ming Jiang collaborated with Harinarayan Krishnan from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to improve how LC customers access the results of simulations run on the Laboratory’s systems.
LC users have access to a personalized Web portal called MyLC that provides a wealth of information on their accounts, such as bank and disk usage, quotas, and active jobs on LC systems. Another application developed at Livermore is VisIt, a visualization tool for viewing and analyzing meshes produced by large-scale simulations. “VisIt is an existing software framework and is quite complex. For ShipIt, our team wanted to expand the accessibility of VisIt by attempting to expose the application in the context of a Web browser,” says Harrison.
The team developed a prototype of a MyLC portlet that helps users execute VisIt scripts and receive rendered or interactive views of data sets via a Web browser. For their final presentation, the software developers showed how simulation data rendered with VisIt could be viewed from a mobile phone. “Our proof of concept demonstrates that a VisIt Web browser tool is viable and could be made available to all LC customers,” says Harrison. A production-ready version of the tool, including quality assurance testing and debugging, would require additional time and resources outside the scope of ShipIt. However, the researchers agree that ShipIt allowed them to gain experience with a technology they had yet to work with.
Harrison adds that another benefit to ShipIt is the project management aspect. “By having to assemble teams and develop a project schedule, participants get experience in project planning and organization,” he says. The event also provides an avenue for participants to present their ideas to peers, helping employees enhance their presentation skills. Says Harrison, “From my perspective, the ShipIt experience overall is very positive. It provides a venue for employee development and allows participants to innovate to produce software products that have real applicability.”
The first three ShipIt events have been a success for both the Laboratory and its employees. “The feedback has been very positive,” says Lewis, adding that Livermore plans to host events two to four times a year. “Support and interest for the ‘hack-a-thons’ continues to grow.” By giving software developers time to engage in projects that tap their inner creativity, Lawrence Livermore is continuing its tradition of fostering innovation.
Key Words: Element Centric (EleCent), hacker, high-performance computing, Klout score, LabBook, Livermore Computing (LC), mobile app, MyLC, ShipIt day, social media, software application, VisIt.

The warmth of family, friends and loved ones are brought to memory through Thomas Kinkade’s The Christmas Lodge. Based on his painting, this made for TV movie is rich with the nostalgia and charm of the artwork that inspired it.
The story is about Mary (Erin Karpluk) who finds herself at the run-down lodge in the mountains where, as a child, she spent the holidays with her family. Inspired by her grandfather, she determines to restore the building to its former glory, and during the process finds herself drawn to Jack (Michael Shanks), a handsome man who loves the lodge as much as she does. With a history of unbalanced relationships, this chance encounter allows Mary to renew her faith in life and discover her one true love.
Karpluk (Being Erica – Leo Award for Best Lead Actress in a Dramatic Series) does a great job carrying the show and emotionally charging several scenes with heartfelt warmth. Shanks (Stargate, Smallville, Burn Notice) played the man every woman seems to want with his masculinity intact. Together they explore the treasures behind true love, faith and family.
The Canadian produced film is rated G and has all the charm of a movie of the week for the Hallmark Channel. Its short length (just under 90 minutes) is ideal for the family with young kids who would like a nice family film to watch together for kicking off the holidays. The movie is available on DVD from Wal-Mart and Amazon.com.

Introduction to Classics at Skidmore
"Past deeds are indeed a common legacy to us all. But to make proper use of them, to conceive rightly their details and document them with polish is the gift of those who think." —Isocrates
Why study classics?
Historia vero testis temporum, lux veritatis, vita memoriae, magistra vitae, nuntia vetustatis ....To study antiquity is to study ourselves. The insights of Greek and Roman thinkers, artists, and writers have shaped Western thought for the last 2,000 years. When we read and study classical antiquity firsthand, we gain a deeper and richer understanding of the human experience.
"For history is the witness of the past, the light of truth, the survival of memory, the teacher of life, the message of antiquity..." —Cicero
The study of classical antiquity at Skidmore trains students to hone their analytical, creative, and literary abilities. It also prepares our majors and minors for careers in the dramatic arts, law, museum curating, medicine, publishing, editing, political science, teaching and business—in short, a solid foundation for life after Skidmore.
The interdisciplinary nature of classics is one of the greatest hallmarks of the program at Skidmore. Courses that apply to the major and minor include studies in Greek and Roman language, literature, art, archaeology, ethnicity, history, mythology, political theory, philosophy, race, religion, and technology. The classics faculty teaching these courses include some of the finest lecturers and scholars on campus.
Although reading about Hannibal crossing the Alps has its merits, nothing beats studying the antiquities of ancient Greece and Rome in their original settings. We strongly encourage our students to study abroad in Greece, Italy, or England for one or two semesters during their junior year. Classics students live in Rome or Athens, tour extensively, and pursue their studies of ancient languages and cultures in modern settings. Students at the program in Bath, England, soak up the atmosphere of Roman Britain and read either Greek or Latin at Oxford University. Summer programs in Greece and Italy offer intensive six-week studies of the art, architecture, archaeology, history, and literature of ancient Greece or Rome. Classics students excavate at archaeological sites throughout the Mediterranean. Skidmore Classics faculty also occasionally lead students on two-week travel seminars in May to Rome, or to London and Athens, as part of semester-long on-campus courses.
Students who have studied classical antiquity in depth have excelled overall in their Skidmore College careers. Classics majors and minors have received the prestigious Periclean Scholar Award for academic excellence, and others have been elected to the national honors society, Phi Beta Kappa, and our local chapter of Eta Sigma Phi, the national classics honors society. Our students also routinely participate in the College's annual Academic Festival and in Parilia, an upstate New York undergraduate classics symposium.
Life after Skidmore
After graduation, some of our students have earned graduate degrees and teach in high schools, colleges, and universities. Others have pursued careers as writers, journalists, financial analysts, screenwriters, entrepreneurs, librarians, programmers, researchers, scientists, and corporate vice-presidents, just to name a few fields. If you can use language deftly, evaluate evidence that is inadequate and overwhelming, conquer formidable intellectual hurdles, see things in new ways, and communicate your fresh ideas cogently, you are superbly prepared to face the challenging job market that awaits. Classics is one of the best ways for you to develop those skills.

Successful decision making is based on three key pillars: strategy, law and ethics. After taking this course you will be able to use a practical framework based on these three elements to make successful business, personal and leadership decisions. This course opens with an example of a leadership decision: President Barack Obama’s strategic decision to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. The course then shows how the three elements can be used to prevent a tragedy when making a personal decision. The rest of the course focuses on making successful business decisions. In essence, to achieve business and career success, you must create value (strategy) and manage risk (law) in a responsible manner (ethics). Because the Law Pillar plays a central role in the three pillar model, the course includes practical legal briefings (with many examples) on the key elements of business success. Specifically, the course shows you how to: • attract the best employees, • develop successful products, • create new business models, • protect intellectual property, • create contracts that achieve business goals, and • use dispute resolution processes that improve business relationships. Using a global perspective, the course also provides an introduction to international business culture for learners from the United States, and an introduction to the U.S. business culture for learners from outside the U.S.

- Championed, planned and led XP-to-Windows 7 migration project for Williams while minimizing cost to company and impact to users. Project involved testing over 600 corporate apps across a dozen locations and executing a three-year deployment plan.

Lead Architect – Collaboration Center of Excellence (CoE)
New position created by CIO specifically for me to continuously look for value-add and improvement projects related to collaboration tools, practices, and adoption. Hyper-focused on simplifying the end-user collaboration experience by standardizing on Skype for Business, leveraging Williams’ investment in existing technologies where feasible, reducing overlapping collaboration tools, and reducing costs. Position requires frequent negotiation between various internal groups who have conflicting priorities and objectives. Position also requires delivering recommendations to Senior Leadership through persuasive presentations, product demonstrations, and financial justification.
Stay tuned. Big things coming here….
Client Architect & Messaging Lead
Williams Energy, Tulsa, OK, 2007-2016
- Managed off-shore Exchange and Office365 technical team.

- 365 Phase 1: Implemented Lync Online (now Skype for Business) as the first Office365 project at Williams. Project was an overwhelming success which involved coordination between implementation partner, outsource provider, Security and Access Control, Legal, and Learning groups. Faced with cost-savings pressure, made recommendation to implement in-cloud 100% with no on-prem hardware. Started evangelization tour across company to educate and drive adoption.
- 365 Phase 2: Leveraging groundwork from Phase 1, implemented ExchangeOnline. Satisfied complex Security & Legal requirements. Designed massive many-to-many migration network to preserve delegate and shared resource relationship during 10,000 mailbox migration. Partnered with Legal to replace Enterprise Vault and implement a forward-looking PST replacement tool. Partnered with Security to start a sweeping AD cleanup.
- Crafted three year plan to phase-out Windows XP and received buy-in from Leadership on three-year attrition project to replace Windows XP with Windows 7 on more than 6,000 distributed clients. Plan execution involved coordinating testing of over 600 corporate applications, having a database built to track application compatibility, creating support model to fit within IBM’s back-office and desktop support arrangement, and sourcing a vendor to maintain image.
- Set enterprise desktop standard for desktop, laptop, and workstation computers. Continuously evaluate new models and devices to help employees perform their daily jobs. A perfect example of this continuous improvement is the need for serial ports for field users. Mainstream computer makers are quickly moving away from this legacy interface, but Williams has millions of dollars of serially connected field equipment. I initiated a project to find a suitable replacement laptop and worked with field support to test the unit in a live field situation.

“By considering all the ‘evidence ….. the NEB … to make decisions …..in interest … of Canadians. “!
A Washington State, EPA funded ,’expert’ study CONCLUDED “…simply…there is no guarantee that RISK increases (in Salish Sea)….. can be fully mitigated.”
Also,where is the proposed BC ‘Think Tank’ ‘..is to study the ‘RISKS OF MARINE SHIPPING’ ..in BC waters ?
Too little ‘evidence’ was presented…to the NEB…
The NEB evaluates technical ‘competence’ of the proposals…The ‘lay’ public make their best effort,likely with cultural/historical anecdotes( but no expert science) to challenge the proposals….
Because the publics’ appeals ,to date,have been ineffective… the NEB is left with no option..but to recommend approval !
It’s still not too late to ask the local/Provincial governments to produce expert environmental ‘hard ball evidence’ …which might give the NEB and Federal government sufficient data to order another study…. to develop a publically acceptable bitumen export plan… !
So far the ‘pea shooter’ counter attack has not done the job..!

Indian jewelers concerned by the rise of gold prices
Gold smuggling has led the Indian government to take several measures, including the plan to make PAN card mandatory for any transaction of gold exceeding the value of Rs. 1 lakh – which equals 100,000 troy ounces of gold.
This has raised concern among Indian jewelers who believe these PAN cards will be an obstacle for people to consume, mainly big gold purchases such as for weddings. That's why on 31 March, 10,000 jewelers of Bengal state have given a strike call and will keep their stores closed.
Retail business owners reported their worries to the Finance Minister, stating that a lot of gold purchases could be carried out "out of the books". Besides, they are aware that rural and semi-urban population do not have PAN cards, and the government measure will, therefore, hit them harder.
One more issue affects Indian jewelers. All eyes are on the next month's holy day Akshaya Tritiya – the Golden Day of Eternal Success. This celebration for Hindus and Jains is an important day that is considered to bring luck, prosperity and success, the most ideal day to start a new business. In other words, a key day for gold purchases.
Jewelers bear in mind the current conflict between Saudi Arabia – plus allies – and Yemen, which is already increasing gold prices; and the weakening of the Indian coin, the rupee against the dollar, closely related to gold prices. Nonetheless, not all is bad news. According to the managing director of Gadgil Jewellers Saurabh Gadgil - previous days of Akshaya Tritiya have experienced huge gold purchases – before and after this holy day - even when the price of gold had jumped quite high.
Those who cannot wait to create and run a successful business also buy gold but use it to create a personal gold reserve that will guarantee them well-being today and tomorrow! They are the clients of the Emgoldex online store, who buy investment gold bars of the highest quality to achieve a golden success!
Share the news about the latest and most interesting events of the gold world!

Lancashire surge after Cross hundred
Sussex 97 for 4 v Lancashire 590
Lancashire, having won their first two championship matches by an innings, put themselves in a strong position to force another overwhelming victory at Hove, as they scored 590 before reducing Sussex to 97 for 4 at the close.
It was Lancashire's joint-16th highest score in first-class cricket and their best since 2006. They resumed on 322 for 6 and added a further 268 runs in just 62.4 overs as the Sussex bowlers struggled on a flat pitch. Lancashire scored 122 runs in the morning session alone.
Sussex did not take a wicket until 10 minutes after the interval when Luke Procter, who was on 26 overnight, was sharply caught at slip by Ed Joyce off the bowling of Monty Panesar. Panesar was by some way the most economical bowler in the Sussex attack but even he came in for heavy punishment at times and on five occasions the left-handed Procter hit him over the short leg-side boundary for six on his way to 89.
It seemed that no Lancashire batsman would score a hundred - Paul Horton and Karl Brown had been out for 78 and 88 respectively on the first day - but then Gareth Cross hit a career-best 125. Cross hit 13 fours and five sixes in his 195-ball innings.
He reached his century when he edged Naved Arif for four but it was a rare moment of hesitancy in a dominating innings. Lancashire lost their eighth wicket at 536 when Farveez Maharoof was well caught, low down, on the backward square-leg boundary by Luke Wells. Cross was ninth out at 567 when, having just hit Arif towards the changing rooms for his final six, he was caught at long-on attempting another.
When Sussex batted they gave Lancashire a helping hand which the away side hardly needed. Two of the four dismissed batsmen were out without playing a shot and they need a further 344 runs merely to avoid the follow-on.
Openers Chris Nash and Joyce had done the most difficult part when they added 46 for the first wicket. But then Nash was bowled by one that jagged back into him from Maharoof. Joyce followed in the next over, bowled as he played no stroke to one that spun sharply back into him from Gary Keedy. Wells was also out without playing a shot, lbw to Keedy. Ben Brown was fourth out at 90, lbw to Glen Chapple.

The sensitive private information of 30 million South Africans, contained in a massive data breach, appears to have been hacked from a credit bureau.
This is according to Australian Microsoft regional director, Tory Hunt, who exposed the leak on Twitter on Tuesday.
Hunt is also a security researcher and creator of the website HaveIbeenpwned.com. The website allows people to check if their personal information has been compromised.
Earlier this year the site exposed the hacking of Ster-Kinekor's website, which put more than six million accounts at risk, Business Day reported.
Hunt said on Twitter on Wednesday that the data breach "is one of the worst I've ever seen on many levels". He said the file date on the data was April 2015 and that it was unclear if it had been exposed since then.
Hunt said the database contained names of people, their gender, ethnicity, home ownership and contact information. The data also contained people's identity numbers and other information, such as their estimated income, directorships and employer information.
He said on Tuesday that the information appeared to be from a government agency. The title "masterdeeds" led him to initially suspect that it had come from the Deeds Office.
However, that theory has since changed and it is believed that it came from a local credit bureau which collects personal information.
The Department of Rural Development and Land Reform said they have noted the claims of hacking and the alleged accessing of Deeds Registry information. They said they were looking into the matter.
Online publication iAfrikan said the data was still available publicly on the internet for anyone to download and that the information related to South Africans, both dead and alive.
The publication named a credit bureau, which has a database of information and consumer contact details, that they believed was involved.
iAfrikan also quoted Hunt saying that the data company had "f***ed up" on a large scale.
"They've collected an enormous volume of data and I'm not sure if the owners of that data ever gave their consent... They then published that data to a web server with absolutely zero protection," Hunt said.
He said there would be huge fallout from the breach.
Some publications named data company Dracore Data Sciences and Govault as the source of the leak.
But the company told News24 that they were not responsible in any way.
The law firm K Jordaan and Associates Inc sent a letter, on behalf of Dracore Data Sciences, demanding a retraction.The letter said that headers and a paste bin link sent to them from the data leak did not refer to Govault.
It added that an IP address provided was for a South African real estate business.
An analyst also told Business Day the information appeared to be from a credit bureau "because one of the fields was titled CPC (Credit Participation Certificate)". They said the data appeared to be accurate and was from about five years ago.
Toby Shapshak from StuffSA said on Talk Radio 702's The Money Show on Tuesday night that the data had very personal, sensitive information and, even though it was from a few years ago, information such as ID numbers and employment history did not change.
He described it as terrifying and South Africans should panic because anyone intent on stealing identities can easily access, buy and use the data.

An inspector with a “zero-tolerance” approach to anti-social behaviour will take charge of neighbourhood police teams.
Insp Helen Brear will take over responsibility for the Wakefield Central, North West and Rural NPT areas from current inspector Mark Chamberlain on Monday.
She said: “We have some great communities across Wakefield and there has been some excellent work ongoing recently to address areas of concern such as anti-social behaviour, speeding and shed break-ins. My key priorities will be to build on this, reduce crime, attack criminality and provide reassurance, in order to keep our communities safe.”
Insp Brear worked in the old Wakefield Rural patch from 2009 to 2012, helping to reduce anti-social behaviour by around 25 per cent. She then went on to work as a safeguarding detective.

I’ve never been very good on the teeter-totter. Mostly because my ass is usually way bigger than the ass of the person on the opposite end, ergo I’m usually sitting on the ground with the other person flying high in the air just waiting to totter. Nope, no tottering for you. Go have a cupcake and then we’ll try again.
This brings me to balance. Apparently this is a problem. Maybe I’m not the only one, but my dream last night brought this issue to the forefront for me.
You see, I had a dream that I was at dinner with several people, and I kept pouring gravy on my plate—so much gravy that it started seeping off the back side of my plate and oozing toward my dining partner who was sitting across from me. It was mortifying. I was so embarrassed that I started trying to discreetly scoop up the gravy with my spoon and place it back onto my plate, which only caused MORE gravy to overflow. There was really no solution because I had caused a lava flow of gravy, and there was essentially nowhere for it to go.
(And for those of you who may be wondering, I’m almost positive there’s no way to discreetly spoon boatloads of gravy off of the table with no one noticing. Just sayin’.)
I’m pretty sure this was a sign that I’ve been eating like crap. I haven’t worked out in a week, HOWEVER my writing has been gaining momentum. I’ve been inspired, and my fingers have been flying over the keys. BUT I don’t just want fit fingers, so I’ma gonna need to find some balance and get off my butt somewhere in there, too.
What’s a girl to do? It’s the teeter-totter syndrome. I have to find a way to balance all the awesome things going on in my life before I start drinking gravy by the pitcher. I’m pretty sure that’s what my dream was telling me.

Our annual street BBQ for local residents was another huge success with a record number of people. It was a great evening to chat with everyone to get to know each other better. It was great to hear of people getting reacquainted after many years, discovering that work colleagues live on the same street and meeting our new neighbours.
Many thanks to everyone that volunteered to help set up and to our fantastic BBQ chefs who worked hard preparing great hamburgers and hot dogs. I would also like to make a special thank-you to Magda for all her hard work translating documents and e-mails. A big thank-you!

Specifications for Ultra HD Blu-ray discs and playets have now been formally completed, the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) announced this week.
The BDA also unveiled the official logo for Ultra HD Blu-ray, as well as details on the audio and video specifications used for the next generation disc format.
Ultra HD Blu-ray discs will require a brand new Ultra HD Blu-ray player capable of reading and playing the video content, which is now up to 3840x2160 (up from the 1920x1080 of standard Blu-ray discs). The discs themselves will be available in capacities ranging from 66GB (dual layer) to 100GB (triple layer) - these increased capacities means that existing Blu-ray players and reader drives will not be able to read these discs.
In addition to the 4K resolution increase, UHD Blu-ray will also incorporate other picture quality enhancement compared to the current Blu-ray format (which was launched back in 2006). These enhancements include support for expanded color ranges, high dynamic range support and support for high framerate movies such as The Hobbit trilogy (up to 60fps).
In the audio space, the BDA also announced that UHD Blu-ray will be supporting "next-generation immersive, object-based sound formats", formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X (the specific standard being supported has yet to be announced).
There will also be an UltraViolet like "digital bridge feature", that will allow a single disc purchase to enable viewing on a wide range of digital only devices.
Licensing of UHD Blu-ray products will start in the North American summer this year, says the BDA, with consumer products expected to hit the market before the end of the year.

Maximum Muscle Definition In One Week
Maximum Muscle Definition
In One Week
Three days outThree days out, boost your carbohydrate intake so you’re around 50 grams for the day, plus the carbohydrates around your workout. This will help refill muscle glycogen levels to prepare you for the day two workout, without leaving you looking smooth all over.
The workout for today should be cardio training, bringing the intensity level up a notch. You can perform interval training if you like, but use longer intervals of one minute in length to prevent glycogen depletion at the very high intensity level.
Two days outToday you are going to perform another full-body workout, only this time you’ll boost your reps up to the 12-15 rep range, lowering the weight accordingly. The aim of this workout is to get a good muscle “pump,” filling the tissues with blood and decreasing muscle glycogen levels further. This will really increase the leanness and bring out muscle definition.
The day beforeFinally, the day before the event you can do some light cardio, but don’t push yourself too hard. You want the muscles to retain some muscle glycogen, since that will keep them from looking smaller. Moreover, complete glycogen depletion will ramp up your hunger levels, making the next two days of dieting much harder.
Focus on drinking plenty of water during this time and really watch your sodium intake. Even a small amount of sodium can have a very large impact on your abdominal definition, so try and cut it out as much as possible.

Back to School – in America’s National Parks
National Park Service Helps Teachers Make Learning Fun & Relevant
Beatrice - Teachers across the nationhave a new tool to help them engage their students in classroom and place-based learning.
Today the National Park Service (NPS) launched a new online service for teachers that brings America’s national parks, including Homestead National Monument of America, into neighborhood classrooms. The new “Teachers” section of the National Park Service website at www.nps.gov/teachers provides a one-stop shop for curriculum-based lesson plans, traveling trunks, maps, activities, distance learning, and other resources. All of the materials draw from the spectacular natural landscapes and authentic places preserved in America’s national parks.
“Homestead National Monument of America has long welcomed Southeast Nebraska area students to the park for field trips,” said Mark Engler, superintendent of Homestead National Monument of America. “And now, through the new “Teachers” National Park Service website, all 401 national parks are throwing open the doors and inviting teachers and students to learn about the most beautiful places in the United States and its territories.”
Homestead National Monument of America is proud to offer lesson plans for grades K-12 in such varied topics as the Homestead Act of 1862, Frontier Education, Homesteaders, Prairie Animals, Insects, and Plants as well as units on Prairie Fire and Water Quality. Additionally, Homestead National Monument of America teaches on these same topics to thousands of virtual student visitors annually through distance learning. So whether you are interested in visiting the park in person, virtually or reqesting one of our traveling trunks, Homestead has something to offer all teachers and students.
The site is searchable by location, keyword, and more than 125 subjects, from archeology, to biology, to Constitutional law. Teachers will, for the first time, be able to rate NPS-provided content. In addition to park-created content, the site also features educational materials created by NPS national programs like the National Register of Historic Places and its award-winning Teaching with Historic Places series of 147 lesson plans.
The website is just one part of the National Park Service’s ongoing commitment to education. Every year, national parks offer more than 57,000 educational programs in parks for nearly three million students, in addition to the 563,000 interpretive programs attended by 12.6 million visitors. At launch, the website offered more than 700 lesson plans, 140 field trips, 50 traveling trunks, 44 distance learning opportunities, 16 teachers’ institutes, 47 online galleries, and 100 teacher workshops, and will add new content as it is developed. The site offers teachers the opportunity to rate the materials provided.
The National Park Service is also working with partners and educational institutions to expand programs and encourage the use of parks as places of learning. The agency has partnered with the Department of Education to integrate national park resources into core curriculums and, each summer, dozens of teachers participate in professional development opportunities in parks, creating education materials based on park resources through the Teacher Ranger Teacher program.
To learn more about the National Park Service’s education programs, visit www.nps.gov/teachers.
About the National Park Service. More than 20,000 National Park Service employees care for America's 401 national parks and work with communities across the nation to help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities. Learn more at www.nps.gov.
About the Homestead National Monument of America. Homestead National Monument of America is located four miles west of Beatrice, or 45 miles south of Lincoln, Nebraska. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free of charge. For additional information, please call 402-223-3514 or visit www.nps.gov/home.

Morgan’s Point Drug Bust Nets 339 Marijuana Plants
Police say a Thursday morning raid on a Morgan's Point Resort home led to the discovery of hundreds of marijuana plants.
Officers with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigation Division, and the Morgan’s Point Resort Police Department served a Federal search warrant at a home on Buttercup Loop around 9 AM.
A 27-year-old male was arrested at the scene, and seven pit bull dogs were seized.
According to Morgan's Point PD Chief Fred Churchill, the home contained an elaborate aeroponics setup in several rooms supporting 339 marijuana plants.
Officers seized the plants and growing equipment, along with several boxes of dried marijuana, drug paraphernalia, cash, and several guns. Chief Churchill said some of the guns had been reported stolen and may have been used to commit other crimes.
A joint investigation of the home and the growing operation will continue.

We didn’t have any record highs today, but what a beautiful day with sunshine and warm temps. We hit 59 in Portland and Troutdale hit 60. The Dalles and Redmond saw record highs of 66 & 69. It has been quite a run of warm temperatures ever since 2018 arrived; January was the 2nd warmest on record. Only two days in the past 13 have been below normal in Portland!
Another interesting fact? We haven’t seen a frost in Portland in the past 36 days! This graphic is from yesterday.
Our typical “last frost” of late winter or spring in Portland is around mid-March; that’s what happened last year.
So it’s unlikely we’re done with frost, especially since we see a cooler airmass moving down over us over the next 5 days.
The 10 days of snow accumulation in late January didn’t do much good, especially when followed by the 4-5 days of warm weather and rain. Most of Oregon has less than 50% of the typical February 7th snowpack on the ground. Most likely streamflows will be below normal this coming summer in much of the state according to the NRCS. Here’s a link to their February Water Supply Outlook Report: https://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/ftpref/states/or/watersupply/2018/WSOR_2018_Feb.pdf
There is no significant change in sight right now. The upper-level ridging that has been so prevalent near or west of the West Coast since early January shows no signs of budging. It moves slightly west on Monday, allowing a chilly airmass to drop south over us. But that doesn’t bring more than a foot of snow to the mountains.
Check out the 10 day map from the same ECMWF ensembles, then the 15 day map, which takes us into the last few days of February.
It’s the same general pattern. If this is correct, February is going to go down in the record books like 2015 & 2016…very warm. It also appears that at least the first half of the month will be unusually dry too. The ECMWF model from this morning produced less than 1/2″ of rain in the next 10 days!

The year is coming to a close, but tech startups are just warming up. Inspero Inc. is crowdfunding the second generation of their smart headphones, Vinci. The Vinci 2.0 is making a bold statement claiming to make calls, send messages and listen to music without the need to connect to a smartphone #objectmagic
Vinci 2.0 isn’t just a pair of good looking, light (less than 90 grams) earphones; they can sync with Amazon Alexa, taking advantage of 15,000 + skills, while being able to stream music, make phone calls and of course, work as a fitness tracker. Its dozen sensors are able to measure heart rate and keep track of your progress thanks to GPS. There’s also a smart coach in the mix that you can ask guidance from thanks to voice controls.
The more you use Vinci, the smarter it gets. Developers explain the use of artificial intelligence here: “Vinci 2.0’s AI works on 2 levels. First, it learns from your music listening habits and physical statistics to make intelligent music recommendations. Second, it uses natural language processing (“NLP”) algorithms to recognize your words and understand your intentions. All of this allows Vinci to recommend music that best matches your query, mood, location, and activity.”
To make matters even more impressive, you should know that Vinci 2.0 might be the world’s first headphone set to come with built-in 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. Even when Internet is down and you can’t stream from Spotify, SoundCloud, Amazon Music or KKBOX, you can listen to songs saved on its internal storage of 32GB (with the 2.0 Super variant).
When it comes to internals, Vinci 2.0 is powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor with 1GB RAM and stays alive thanks to a 600 mAh lithium-ion battery. Its design allows the earbuds to stay organized and together thanks to the magnetic neckband. Also, on the premium model – Super – there’s a bone-conduction microphone for crystal clear voice recognition, even in the nosiest environments.
Gesture control is also available and might come in handy when you want to switch a song for another but you can’t talk loud. The early bird price for the standard version is $89 but if you want the Super version (the one with all the goodies we’ve talked about), you’ll have to pay $349 via Kickstarter.

Read how Transit Wireless became a recipient of industry firm IDC's Smart City North America Award.
From New York to California, and everywhere in-between, cities are investing in and adopting technology to make their environments more livable in the modern age: meaning smart, connected and safe.
In recognition of the huge impact that smart cities are making across the nation, IDC recently launched its inaugural Smart City North America Awards (SCNAA). Our congratulations go out to our partner, Transit Wireless, for taking home the 2018 IDC North America award for Digital Equity and Accessibility. Thanks to the work done as part of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) New York City Transit (NYCT) initiative to improve the transit system, more than 5.7 million folks experience the benefits of a smart city with free Wi-Fi access while traveling by subway each day. How cool is that?
The WiCom network that brings smart city technology to the City’s underground subway system, is a project of Transit Wireless , the company licensed by the MTA to design, build, operate and maintain the cellular and public Wi-Fi connectivity in the NYC underground subway stations. Construction began in 2011, and the project was completed an unprecedented two years ahead of schedule, January 1, 2017. Based on a public-private agreement with Transit Wireless, MTA and carrier partners, the estimated 350-million-dollar infrastructure project came at no cost to taxpayers.
Curiosity about the inner-workings of a project of this magnitude is understandable; the network operates across all 282 underground stations with a fiber-optic backbone that is 160+ miles long, connecting to five highly secure base station data centers with more than 7000 antennas system-wide. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise switches handle the large volume of traffic of more than 500 terabytes of data per month and the extreme environmental conditions. In addition, the switches work seamlessly across networks that provide services to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless customers. You can check out the ALE Transit Wireless case study to get all the details on how ALE tackled the specific challenges of this project.
One of the key goals of the project was to address safety concerns in the underground. The dedicated public safety network operating on a 4.9 GHz spectrum, along with 1,200 highly-visible Help Points provide immediate access to assistance at the touch of a button. One benefit of this network is E911 services enabling dispatchers to know when a call is being placed from an underground platform, and can direct first responders to the approximate call locations.
Smart cities also provide its citizens with new opportunities and access. For example, the free Wi-Fi available courtesy of the Transit Wireless Wi-Fi network provided subway riders with access to the “Subway Library,” during the summer of 2017, where anyone could download free e-books from any public library.
In the city that never sleeps, access, safety and convenience are key. Thanks to the WiCom network in New York City’s underground subway stations, residents, commuters and tourists alike can navigate the underground with free access to state-of-the-art communications technology; keeping us safe, connected, and moving forward— both with our need to be digitally connected and on our physical, daily journeys home.

Digital engagement attracts and retains customers while providing them with the best on-line services.

Our beautiful landscaped grounds along the river offer a true connection to nature, as many of nature’s own visit along their way.

Yes, Faculty Lounge Fascists and Left-Wing Archie Bunkers from the 1960s generation have transformed America’s colleges and universities into churches for irrational thought. Evergreen State is the most prominent example right now.
SEE ALSO HERE
In my most recent blog post about this increasingly undeniable state of affairs I quoted from and linked to a New York Times item. This time I’m linking to a Takimag item. The link to that Jim Goad piece is below, but first some excerpts:
“The school (Evergreen State) bears the dubious distinction of being “one of the least selective universities in the nation with an admittance rate of 98%.”
“Over the past couple weeks, Evergreen has leapfrogged over Yale, Mizzou, and even Berkeley to become the most eagerly self-castrating school of higher learning in the US of A.”
“This year, due to caterwauling among Students of Color that they felt unsafe on the campus due to Donald Trump’s election—despite the statistical possibility that not a single teacher nor student on the entire campus voted for Trump or even dared to utter one public word in support of him—the Day of Absence’s organizers attempted to flip the script.
“Instead of the usual routine, which involved black students effectively playing hooky, white students were encouraged to stay off campus, where they could attend workshops that scrubbed their brains clean of any self-interest and instead filled their crania with wholesome and forward-looking feelings of self-loathing.
“This rankled biology teacher Bret Weinstein, a self-proclaimed anti-racist Jewish progressive who at least has the clarity of thought to realize that Critical Race Theory is an ideology rather than an eternal truth.”
- And we all know the ridiculous mob scenes and the Witch Hunt that the Democrats at Evergreen State unleashed from there. The link to Goad’s whole piece is below.
Be sure to watch the video of George Bridges, Evergreen State’s President – and in my opinion a man with no self-respect or backbone of any kind. At one point the Evergreen State Fascists freak out over the way Bridges is talking with his hands.
For those of you not in the know, the irrational, emotional cripples who pretend to be college students in 21st Century America have for years been making a big deal out of feeling “unsafe” JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT TALK WITH THEIR HANDS.
WHAT KIND OF HELPLESS IMBECILES CAN’T HANDLE SOMEONE TALKING WITH THEIR HANDS? Don’t worry, though, Bridges is such a craven coward that HE OBEDIENTLY TUCKS HIS HANDS OUT OF SIGHT to avoid … doing whatever such a thing does to the brainless students at Evergreen State.
Here is the link to the Jim Goad item and the youtube video:

I recently did some analysis of the BC health care coverage for prescription medications for treating HIV. To my surprise, it would appear that none of them are covered under the provincial prescription drug plan.
Why did I find this surprising? Because this is the very basis of the decision by CIC to refuse my original application. But the teensy detail they failed to mention (and I hadn’t fully grasped) is that in order to obtain “free” medications in British Columbia you must enroll in the grand medical/social experiment. In doing so your detailed medical information is provided to the Centre for Excellence for whatever use they deem.
Further, as it turns out, the Centre for Excellence maintains a strict policy with respect to treatment options. So if your doctor thinks you would be better served by a different treatment option than the ones permitted she probably won’t even mention it to you because she knows it won’t be permitted by this group.
Thus, gaining access to this “free treatment” isn’t part of the health care policy, but rather it is in exchange for agreeing to be a guinea pig in this large medical experiment. It seems to be a harsh basis for a refusal simply because there is a research group that will permit you to trade your medical privacy (so they can obtain something of value from it) in exchange for “free medication”. That sure looks more like the normal arrangement for medical experiments.
Thus, it would seem that CIC’s position is that if there’s someone out there that obtains governmental funding for doing research and you might be willing to exchange something of value (your right to the best treatment option for you specifically and your medical privacy rights) for something that might also be helpful to you, then you’re just ineligible to come to Canada in an economic class – well, at least for British Columbia.
I wish I had known about the nuances of how the system worked several years ago, because this would have been a rather interesting conversation: anyone who doesn’t want to participate in the experimental study group has no coverage. None of the drugs I checked were covered by Fair Pharmacare, which means they don’t count against the cost limit ($10k maximum, lower amounts based on income). Thus, they cannot create excessive demand.
And if someone does wish to participate in the experimental study group they can do so – but it’s a standard commercial exchange. The study group does receive governmental funding, but those funds are used as a quid-pro-quo for something else of value.

Dividend Miles No Longer Accepted by American Airlines After January 1st
As a part of the American Airlines/ US Airways merger, American will no longer accept US Airways Dividend Miles starting on January 1, 2016. American Airlines is urging all customers to use their AAdvantage number when booking travel, as this will be the only acceptable awards program after the first of the year. If you are not sure how to locate this number, a MacNair agent can assist you. Customers will still earn miles automatically for reservations booked by December 31, 2015 with a Dividend Miles number. Travelers who know their old Dividend Miles but not their AAdvantage number can find it by logging in with their Dividend Miles number here -https://www.aa.com/loyalty/login/submit. When the Dividend Miles number, password, and last name are correctly entered, the new AAdvantage number will be displayed. Please
update your MacNair profile with that number.

For this post in our researcher blog series, we decided to examine some interesting examples of researchers integrating the data into their workflows. We also reached out to the six academics who created these examples, to review their usage and collect some feedback (positive or otherwise) about their experience of the data.
Three out of the six researchers we talked to said they had first heard about Altmetric from other academics, either on Twitter or through internal communication within a university. This is interesting as it suggests that one academic’s knowledge of a tool can potentially change the behaviors of their peers, whether that’s all the other researchers in their faculty, or all their followers on social media. In last month’s blog post we briefly talked about how academics can use Twitter and altmetrics to keep up-to-date with research trends. However, perhaps it’s also worth noting that conversation surrounding research management tools can itself start a trend, and that being active in such networks can open up a whole world of informative and timesaving possibilities for researchers. Two other academics said they recalled seeing the data displayed on publisher’s websites, and this had inspired them to learn more.
How have researchers used Altmetric data online?
All the researchers we spoke to had investigated the Altmetric data for their articles, and a few had taken further steps to embed the data in their online profiles. Looking at these examples, it’s clear that adding the data to publication pages or merging it with a unique ORCID ID can add another dimension to your digital identity as a researcher. Because the colours for sources such as Twitter and Facebook correspond to the platforms’ logo colours, the donut is both an aesthetically pleasing infographic and a way of showcasing the online attention papers have received in one easy click. For Steve Davis, adding the data to his online profile saved him time and allowed him to display attention from a range of sources simultaneously, rather than through manual recording; “I have in the past curated my own list of news outlets and blogs that have covered my work in order to track what kind of reaction it was getting”. Davis also said the data prompted him to think about social media monitoring, which he had not been doing previously. James Grecian said he found Altmetric provided “a useful way to curate and link to the media articles that mention my research”, and also commented that he found the badges easy to use. Egon Willighagen found the Altmetric/ORCID app saved time as he “did not have to look up the statistics manually…it uses my ORCID profile to get the DOIs and aggregate stuff”.
Researchers who had used the bookmarklet said the data had helped them in other ways. Vincent Scalfani (assistant professor and science librarian at the University of Alabama) said he had used the bookmarklet to view the attention for a short autobiographical commentary he released about his childhood and career progression and was pleasantly surprised about how much attention it had received. He theorized; “as this article is more of a commentary and not a research article, it will likely not receive many (or any at all) official literature citations”. This is a fascinating insight as it testifies to the idea that altmetrics can offer an indication of real-time attention beyond citation counts. It’s also interesting to think about how this feeds in to the idea that altmetrics can capture the impact of more reflective personal pieces as well as write-ups of scientific investigations. Thus, for Vincent, the data solved the problem of awareness, by providing him with readership information for a non-traditional research output. Steve Portugal of Royal Holloway University “used the data in grant applications as additional evidence for the general interest and impact” to strengthen his academic profile in the eyes of funders. Steve reported that the data meant he could showcase his impact and better understand the value of online communication channels such as Twitter when trying to promote research and grow an online network. He said one of the reasons why social media sites like Twitter are valuable for researchers is that “explaining your work to a general audience is an excellent exercise in communication skills”. Brian D. Earp (University of Oxford) added Altmetric statistics to his online CV, in the hope that “those who look at my CV will get a sense that that my papers are in fact being read and downloaded, and how they’re doing along those dimensions compared to other papers in the same journal, or of a similar age etc”. For Earp then, the data became a benchmarking and contextualisation tool as well as a way of showcasing impact.
Further use cases: how did the researchers use the data to target an audience?
In the image opposite, you can see Jean Peccoud’s attractive and sophisticated laboratory website, which uses the Altmetric API as a way of “providing dynamic and valuable content to the visitor of my site”. Jean said the data helped him “figure out what to read”, by allowing him to gage the level of online attention for papers. Although we never try and suggest that the Altmetric data provides a measure of quality this use case is interesting; Jean used the data to develop a reading list, then added it to one of his web pages, thereby allowing his peers to discover the data for themselves. It was interesting that although the researchers gave a range of responses when asked how the data had helped them, their answers were quite consistent when they described the initial aims they had in mind when they started to play around with the information. Egon Willighagen summarised his motive for using Altmetric as follows; “getting insight on how my research (not just papers, but including those) is used and what people say about it is important to me, and helps me make strategic decisions on where my research funding chances lie”. All six of them said they wanted a way of showcasing the attention their papers had received, whether to get the attention of grant funders (Steve Portugal), the notice of a tenure committee (Vincent Scalfani), or the general interest of people visiting their online publication lists.
We also wanted to hear about the downsides, so we asked the researchers one more thing; whether they felt there were any limitations with the data or things they hoped to do with it in future. One of the really interesting responses came from Jean Peccoud: “the score sometimes feels a little like black magic”, while Steve Davis mentioned “the unpredictability of what the service picks up and what it doesn’t”. Vincent Scalfani also said that more documentation on this issue might be beneficial for researchers, posing the idea of “an overview to explain what is being measured, what the data sources are, and how Altmetric fits into measuring research impact”. In our next post in this series, we are intending to lay out the logic behind the score and sources more clearly, so hopefully we’ll be able to address some of those questions then. For now, anyone can visit our support resources pages for some slightly more detailed information on how we collect and rank mentions from different places.
In summary then, these responses can tell us a lot about how researchers are using Altmetric right now, and about how they would like to see the tools and support resources develop in future. The feedback suggests the data is useful as you can see who has been talking about your research, and then take ownership of this information by adding it to important documentation and incorporating it into your digital identity. It also seems like researchers welcome the realisation that their research doesn’t exist in a vacuum; that they can compare their Altmetric statistics with similar articles in the same academic discipline.
As always, we’d love to know what you think about this post, so please feel free to comment with any feedback/questions you may have. Please get in touch with us if you’d like to request an API key, and visit this page for more information about embedding the Altmetric badges. Thanks for reading!

The advent of Mobile Money Transfer marked the transformation of economic interaction. The success of mobile money transfer systems reshaped Kenya’s banking sector and led to the financial inclusion of 20M people. One of the leading African travel companies, a hotel booking website Jovago.com, gives an insight into how mobile payments ease people’s lives in the travel industry.
According to Central Bank of Kenya, the key statistics for 2014 on mobile money transfer show that over 60% of the adult population are using mobile money transfer. This translates to around 26 million Kenyans who actively use this mode of payment.
It is worth noting that this concept has gained ground in the travel industry. In the past, cash payments was dominantly the preferred choice this has been overtaken. Local tourists in Kenya can pay for their hotel bookings through Mpesa. It is an easy process with no major complications adding to the simplicity of mobile money transfer. Many companies, like Jovago for instance, gives you the option to use your M-Pesa when making bookings. The way it works is simple. Once …read more

December was a very special month for me in terms of family and travelling. I had the pleasure of taking my parents around Europe, then to Dubai, and finally the stunning and amazing Park Hyatt Maldives for 7 nights. Naturally, we also experienced some incredible flights on Austrian, Etihad, SWISS, and Turkish Airlines. Needless to say, it was one of the best holidays I’ve ever had.
The Park Hyatt Maldives is a stunning resort – the hotel is located on a private island which can only be reached by a boat from a small domestic airport. The island is stunning and offers peace and tranquility – I’ve never felt more isolated from the rest of the world, which was a good thing.
I wanted to make this trip very special for my parents and therefore I was in contact with the general manager of the Park Hyatt Maldives via email and asked if there was anything he and his team could do in order to celebrate a very special occasion for my parents. He couldn’t have been more gracious and welcoming, and surprised us with an upgrade to a 2 Bedroom Park Pool Villa. The base room that everyone redeeming points/certificates is booked into is the regular Park Villa – which is awesome, for a base villa. Then higher above that, is the Park Pool Villa (with just one bedroom), and higher than that is the 2 Bedroom Park Pool Villa.
Since there were three of us, there was no need for a rollaway bed for myself as my parents and I had our own bedrooms and bathrooms… luxury really doesn’t get any better than this. We really received the best possible “land” villa (we didn’t want an overwater villa as they get really hot during the day).
While I will have a full, extensive review of the resort soon, I just wanted to share with all of you about how amazing this Park Hyatt is… Not only are the staff super friendly and will literally go the extra mile, but the resort itself and every single aspect is incredible – you are literally in paradise.
This is the best Hyatt to redeem your points or certificates at… and as far as luxury hotels, it really doesn’t get much better than this.
Be sure to check out some of the awesome Travel Rewards Credit Cards, Hotel Rewards Credit Cards, and Point Rewards Credit Cards that are available and will earn you lots of miles and great travel benefits!

This particular post is a bit of an anomaly. See, I am writing this with just two percent of CMOs/marketers in mind. That may sound odd—why would I write something aimed at only two percent of anything?
I get that. I understand why you would question that logic. I questioned it myself before deciding to take this approach for this particular piece. I did so because I felt compelled to direct this squarely at you: the two percent of marketers who don’t think that offline and online marketing are merging.
And just where do these two-percenters come from?
They come from the report, “CMO Spend Survey 2015-2016: Digital Marketing Comes of Age.” Results were released late last year after Gartner surveyed over 330 organizations on their 2015 marketing budgets and 2016 expectations. Here’s where those two-percenters come from:
Now do you see them?
If Online and Offline Aren’t Merging, Then What?
Since I cannot ask the two-percenters these questions in person (as much as I would like to), I’ll have to settle for asking them here, rhetorically—unless, of course, someone out there wants to take a stab at answering on their behalf.
Two-percenters, why would you possibly believe that offline and online marketing are not merging? (highlight to tweet) Do you not think that they should? What possible benefit can come from them NOT merging?
Do you not employ ANY online marketing currently that would then explain why it won’t merge with offline?
What color is the sky in your world?
Okay, perhaps that last question was a bit harsh—my apologies. But it boggles mind that in 2016, this could still be a mindset of a CMO.
But Maybe I’m Missing Something
Let me take a step back and take a different look at all this. Maybe, just maybe, the two-percenters are those marketers who don’t know how to merge offline and online. Maybe, just maybe, the two-percenters are those marketers who don’t have the right technology to merge offline and online.
You think that could be it? Maybe I will try and convince myself that is, in fact, the reason why the two-percenters are who they are. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. At least that way it will help me make sense of all this and, yes, sleep better at night.

Govt to impose regulatory duties on luxury and non-essential items
27 November, 2015
ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to impose regulatory duties on luxury and non-essential items and announce an incentive package to bring evaders under the tax net to bridge shortfalls in revenue collection. Imports of luxury items have gone up over the past few months and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar is not happy with the trend.
Mr Dar briefed the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Finance and said the substantial increase in imports of luxury items was a worrisome factor for the government and he was working on various proposals to curtail them.
The Federal Board of Revenue has come up with a detailed package to generate revenue and the prime minister has approved it. The IMF has proposed Rs40bn revenue measures for bridging the revenue shortfalls.
The FBR proposal will have to be approved by the Economic Coordination Committee of the cabinet. The ECC meeting was scheduled for Friday, but it had now been postponed, an official in the finance ministry told Media men.
A source told reporters that as per the FBR proposal the government had decided to increase regulatory duty on 287 items, mostly processed eatables, from 10pc to 15pc; from 5pc to 10pc on 14 items; from 15pc to 20pc on around 15 items and from 20pc to 25pc on other products.
It has also decided to withdraw income tax exemptions and increase federal excise duty on a few products including cigarettes. The income tax measures are expected to be promulgated through a presidential ordinance.
Mr Dar justified the decisions by saying that Pakistan could not get benefits of the low oil prices because there was a considerable increase in imports of luxury items. He said the State Bank of Pakistan has also expressed concern over the rising import bill despite low oil and commodity prices in the international market.
The finance minister said the government was willing to offer fixed scheme for income tax non-filer traders to bring them under the tax net. He said he was also willing to create a special block for dealing with the new taxpayers to be brought under the new scheme.
The deadline for deduction of withholding tax on banking transactions at reduced rate of 0.3pc will expire on Nov 30. “We expect to reach an agreement with traders on the scheme to make it effective from next month,” Mr Dar said.
He said non-filer traders would be divided into three to four categories for payment of fixed amount of tax starting from Rs10,000 per annum with a subsequent increase in coming years. The audit department would not bother them for the next couple of years.
The business community has claimed that the imposition of withholding tax had affected around 12 million people, but the minister said he would be happy if 4m to 5m of them came under the tax net.
Mr Dar said the tax amount would be fixed on the basis of categories of traders. ‘A’ category would cover big cities like Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi, ‘B’ comparatively medium size cities and ‘C’ and ‘D’ small cities.
The minister expressed the hope to reach an understanding with traders because they were more concerned with the whitening of capital.
“We are ready to facilitate businessmen and resolve their issues based on sectors as well.”
He said the government would create a separate block for around 4m new taxpayers. The filling of returns and payment of tax in December would be higher because of the proposed package, he added.

A Good Woman:
Set in the 1930’s on the beautiful Italian Riviera, this film is an elegant, witty, romantic comedy based on Oscar Wilde’s “Lady Windermere’s Fan”.

At once a captivating romance and a breath-taking travelogue into the Kenyan outback, The White Masai is an epic journey based on the autobiography of Corinne Hofmann. It tells the unbelievable - yet true - tale of a white European woman who becomes the wife of a Masai warrior. The exotic African landscapes provide a backdrop to a tale that is nothing short of extraordinary.
Acclaimed actor, Richard E Grant’s Wah-Wah is a semi-autobiographical “coming of age at the end of an age” story told through the eyes of young Ralph Compton.

Screening of short films and the New York Premiere of Casey Jane Ellison Personal Trimmer Internal Promo and Q&A with Casey Jane Ellison
Co-presented by Art+Culture Projects and Red Bull Studios New York, curated by William J Simmons
RSVP to email@example.com
Lynn Hershman-Leeson – Electronic Diary Part III: First Person Plural
Casey Jane Ellison – The New York Premiere of Casey Jane Ellison Personal Trimmer Internal Promo
Amy Sillman – Test Strips: Inside the Making of a Cartoon
Amalia Ulman – The Future Ahead: Improvements for the Further Masculinization of Prepubescent Boys
Rachel Mason – The World Premiere of Heart Explodes
This screening represents the truly expansive potential of film and video to engender collaboration and sociopolitical action. From Lynn Hershman Leeson’s work on masquerade and violence, to Amalia Ulman’s hilarious and prescient deconstruction of Justin Bieber’s forehead, we learn that these media have the potential to transform the very foundations of how we view the world. With Rachel Mason, Casey Jane Ellison, and Amy Sillman, humorous discomfort and retro glamor become central analytical tools with which we can rethink art history.
Artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson is acclaimed for the pioneering use of new technologies through which she deals with issues such as identity in a time of consumerism, privacy in a era of surveillance, interfacing of humans and machines, and the relationship between real and virtual worlds. Her extensive career focuses on the changing relationship between the body and technology which led to her innovative work with artificial intelligence, biological computing, and DNA manipulation including bio printed body parts. Hershman Leeson’s work more recently focuses on the ethical context surrounding genetics. As a film director she wrote, directed and produced Strange Culture, Conceiving Ada and Teknolust, all starring Tilda Swinton, which screened in the Sundance Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival; her ground-breaking 2011 documentary !Women Art Revolution has been screened at major museums internationally. The Digital Art Museum in Berlin and Siggraph recognized her work with the d.velop digital art award (ddaa) for Lifetime Achievement. In 2015, ZKM Center for Art and Media organized Leeson’s solo retrospective Civic Radar with an accompanying catalogue, Civic Radar, distributed by D.A.P., edited by Peter Weibel and published by Hatje Cantz. Her work is in the collection of NY MOMA, SF MOMA, The Tate Modern and numerous private collections.
A one-woman cult of personality, the LA/New York-based artist/satirist Casey Jane Ellison has achieved notoriety as a deadpan guide to media consumption, from reality TV to art. Ellison debuted in 2013 as a vacuous fashion tipster in her reality TV webseries “What the F*shion?” for VFiles, and a misanthropic host of a gender-binary-fixated-all-
Amy Sillman is an artist working primarily in painting, drawing and animation. She has had an active exhibition record over the past two decades, and her work is included in numerous public and private collections, including MoMA, the Whitney Museum, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Boston Museum of Fine Art, LACMA and The Tate in London. A recipient of many awards and fellowships, she had a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2001, a fellowship at The Radcliffe Institute in 2010, and was a Resident at the American Academy in Rome in 2014. Recent solo exhibitions includeStuff Change which just closed at Sikkema Jenkins, NY, a major mid-career survey show at the ICA Boston in 2013 and the Hessel Museum at Bard College in 2014, entitled one lump or two, and in 2008 a show entitled Third Person Singular at The Tang Museum in Saratoga Springs, NY. Sillman’s bibliography includes catalogues for the retrospective, the exhibition at the Tang, and a monograph on her drawings, “Amy Sillman: Works on Paper,” published in 2006 by Gregory R. Miller, NY. From 2005 to 2013, Sillman served as the co-Chair of the Painting Department at Bard College’s MFA Program in Annandale, NY. She is currently a Professor at the Staedelschule in Frankfurt, Germany.
Amalia Ulman (1989) is an airport based artist with an office in Downtown Los Angeles. Born in Argentina but raised in Spain, she studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in London. Her works are primarily voiced in the first person, often blurring the distinction between the artist and object of study. In a multidisciplinary manner, she explores the relationship between consumerism and identity, class imitation and social deception, altruism and empathy. Selected artworks include the trilogy of video essays Buyer, Walker, Rover (2013), The Future Ahead (2014) and Annals of Private History (2015, Frieze Projects); and performances such as Excellences & Perfections archived by Rhizome the New Museum (New York) and exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Modern and Arcadia_Missa (London). Some of her latest solo exhibitions are Stock Images of War @ James Fuentes (New York) and International House of Cozy, MAMA, Rotterdam.
She recently released her latest work Privilege at the 9th Berlin Biennale.
Rachel Mason is an artist from Los Angeles. Mason has recorded 12 albums,has toured, exhibited sculpture, video and performance at the Whitney Museum, Queens Museum, LACMA, Detroit Museum of Contemporary Art, School of the Art Institute in Chicago, Henry Gallery in Seattle, James Gallery at CUNY, University Art Museum in Buffalo, Sculpture Center, Hessel Museum of Art at Bard and Occidental College, Kunsthalle Zurich, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, The New Museum, Park Avenue Armory, Art in General, La Mama, Galapagos, Dixon Place, and Empac Center for Performance in Troy among other venues.

You probably haven’t complained about high-end smartphone performance for a while now, but processors can always be a bit faster and, more importantly, power efficient. To that end, Arm just announced its latest products destined for future smartphone SoCs. These announcements are aimed squarely at the high performance end of the market, ranging from smartphones up to laptop-class capabilities.
The latest additions to Arm’s portfolio are its Cortex-A76 CPU, Mali-G76 GPU, and Mali-V76 video processor for ultra-high resolution displays. As the names suggest, the Cortex-A76 is a replacement for the high-performance Cortex-A75 core unveiled last year, the new Mali-G76 takes over from the G72, and the Mali-V76 is the new high-end option, replacing the V52 and V61. There’s no new LITTLE CPU core announcement this year, so we’ll be sticking with the Cortex-A55 for a while longer.
A ground-up CPU redesign
Despite the seemingly minor change to Arm’s CPU nomenclature, the Cortex-A76 is very different from the A75. It’s a completely new high-performance microarchitecture design made from scratch by Arm to target higher performance points than ever before. Laptop-class was the term used during our briefing with Arm, but the flexible nature of the design means there’s plenty of performance gains up for grabs in a smartphone form factor too.
The headline figure is up to a 200 percent performance gain compared to the current crop of laptop form factor products powered by the Cortex-A73. Compared to the last generation A75 the gains are a little smaller, but still notable. The biggest improvements are for machine learning applications, with up to a 400-percent boost thanks to optimized dot product instructions. A 7nm A76 running at 3GHz improves performance by around 35 percent over a 10nm A75 running at 2.8GHz.
On top of that, Arm is boasting a 40-percent improvement in energy efficiency. Some of that obviously comes from the smaller target process node, but the microarchitecture changes are making a difference too. The Cortex-A76 has also been designed so a single core can run flat out indefinitely, while frequency throttling should only kick in for 3 or 4 core cluster configurations in thermal and power constrained products like smartphones. That means more consistent high-end performance for demanding workloads.
The Cortex-A76 is still based on Arm’s DynamIQ cluster technology, meaning you’ll see it paired up with the smaller power-efficient Cortex-A55 inside heterogeneous CPU clusters. A 4+4 design is still the likely layout for high-performance products, while 2+6 and 1+7 offer the best performance-to-cost benefits for cheaper SoCs.
Next-generation graphics and video
The Arm Mali-G76 has next-gen SoCs covered for improved graphics performance. It’s based on the same Bifrost architecture as the G72 and G52, offering a major 1.5x performance boost with this generation at 7nm.
Arm has achieved much of this performance boost by doubling up the number of execution pipelines within each core’s engine, which offers roughly double the FP32 and FMA throughput with only a 28-percent increase in area. This means each G76 graphics core is now roughly twice as powerful as in the G72, so chip designers won’t need to include so many to achieve the same performance level as before. This is the same optimization the company made inside its Mali-G52 earlier this year, and the same Int8 dot product support for machine learning applications makes its way across to the high-end processor now as well.
Each Mali-G76 core can be up to twice as powerful as in the G72, so a new MP8 configuration will be roughly as powerful as an old MP16.
On top of the performance gains, the G76 boasts a 30 percent improvement to energy and area efficiency when built on the same process node. Moving down to 7nm will see further performance gains. This can be used to extend battery life for the same performance as the last generation or be put towards a higher core count for additional graphics grunt.
The Mali-G76 can be configured for between four and 20 cores, down from the 32 maximum core count with the G72. Arm expects that we’ll see smartphones core counts in the low teens, with higher numbers reserved for products with larger battery capacities and where thermal constraints are less of a factor, such as laptops. The Mali-G52 fills in the gap for lower end products with smaller core counts between one and four.
The last announcement is a new vision processor, the Mali-V76, designed for high-resolution displays. The design caters for up to 8k60 decode and 8k30 encode, as well as multiple 4K and 1080p streams for video walls. It essentially doubles up the performance and capabilities of the Mali-V61. This is certainly overkill for smartphone display resolutions, but will likely find a home in future high-end TVs and higher resolution AR & VR headsets.
Arm latest CPU, GPU, and VPU designs will offer some serious next-generation performance and energy improvements for mobile devices. Don’t forget, it’s got new machine learning hardware heading our way under the Project Trillium banner too.
We’ll have to wait for Arm’s partners to pick up these latest components before they hit consumer products. The Mali-G76 is available for sampling already and could appear in SoCs before the end of the year. We’ll have to wait a little longer for our first Cortex-A76 devices — they’ll probably be announced in chipsets this year but likely won’t ship in products until 2019.
We’ll dive deeper into the CPU and GPU architectural changes heading our way and what they mean for performance gains in more detail this week, so stay tuned.

Time management was vital in Premier Inn as well as any other company.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: there is definitely something in the water in Ireland. An extra pack of zinc ions floating downstream, perhaps? Or maybe some nutritious carbonates saltating along the riverbeds? We are not water chemists by any stretch, but it’s a theory.
At any rate, we find ourselves in the familiar territory of promulgating a promising Dublin fourpiece in the form of Leo Drezden, a four-piece proficient combining instrumental math rock with stop-start jazz, punchy disco pastiche and elegant sonic landscapes, stylistic tendencies of which fellow Dublin locals Alarmist and Adebisi Shank are renowned for. In Leo Drezden’s latest release Multi-Moment, however, the hooks and chord progressions have an ethereal almost space-rock flavour. It’s the soundtrack of a hyperstyled neo-noir with an older yet reputable actor like Chris Cooper battling illegal cyborgs and dodging femme fatales. It’s the elevator music that plays on the way to God’s holiday apartment in neo-Tokyo. Overall, it’s damn fun.
You can keep in touch with Leo Drezden on Facebook.
You can also check out other amazing Irish math bands on our World Of Math Map.

La Chertosa is named for the magnificent 14th century Renaissance monastery in the Tuscan valley of Farneta, Italy where the Sebastiani ancestral roots began. Here Sam’s grandfather Samuele Sebastiani learned to make wine in the “Old World” style.
Samuele came to Sonoma in 1895, and found that Sonoma closely resembled faraway Farneta in three ways; it boasted a mild Mediterranean climate, featured red soils similar to Farneta; and was blessed with gently sloping hillsides. Noting these similarities, Samuele planted grapevines and in 1904 founded Sebastiani Winery, one of the first wineries in California.
It was here that both Samuele’s son August and his grandson Sam, learned the art of making wine in the Classic Old World style. "Old World" style encompasses all the instruments to blend and create a harmony of pleasing notes, a style which was much better understood by the winemakers of the old world.
La Chertosa wines are made in the "Old World" winemaking style. Sam's experience of forty-six years as a winemaker and more than twenty visits to his family’s ancestral village have influenced his winemaking style, fermentation and aging techniques, creating wines of complexity and finesse.
Samuele employed the time-honored techniques taught him by the Chertosinian monks in Farneta, to create in Sonoma, the winemaking style Sam continues in crafting the harmonic flavors in La Chertosa wines.

On Thursday the 18th June the open grade girls travelled down to Dunkirk to compete in the interzones.
Our first match was against Northcote Intermediate which was a vey easy game and we won 31-0. Our next game was against Wesley and we thought we were going to lose but we played hard and we won 28-0.
After that match we had a bye so we started to practice some skills because our next match was for the semi-finals.
Randwick was our next opponent and we managed to keep the ball most the time. Moses and Miss Samson were really proud of us because we won 12-7.
We made it to the finals and challenged Viscount which was a rough match and unfortunately we lost. Overall we came 2nd in the tournament and this was good.
A big congratulations to Ma’ata for best back, Kathy best forward, Ramona best tackler and Alison for player of the day.
On behalf of all the girls we would like to thank Moses and Miss Samson for training us and getting us prepared for the Interzones.
It was a great achievement!

Frigidaire has considering that modified the design on the FFTR1821 series, they usually not promote it as “garage Completely ready”. Though the manual states that it could possibly work in temperatures as little as 39ºFile, some set up Directions say not to put it in places down below fifty fiveºF.
I used to be told that there is divice which you can screw into The sunshine bulb socket during the fridge to help make the fridge garage ready. I have a GE model gte16dthcrww.
The sector has improved a tad considering the fact that I first wrote this informative article. Truly “garage Completely ready” refrigerator freezers appear to be A lot more durable to uncover, as corporations in all probability Slash charges in manufacturing, and more and more people put refrigerators in garages in a wider array of climates — stretching the authorized definition of what “garage Prepared” means, and forcing firms to test to satisfy a more typical demand.
The neatest thing about gasoline-powered garage heaters is that they can be quite inexpensive and might warmth up a home very quickly. Should you have a sizable Area to heat and you may be needing the heat For lots of hrs during the day, then a fuel-powered garage heater is an extremely good dollar conserving option.

I haven’t done the numbers on these, but compared to beef burger & fries in a burger bun, this lot wins hands down:
- lean turkey mince burgers
- sweet potato & chickpea burgers
- tomato salsa
- avocado & mango salsa
- homemade pita
The tomato salsa and pitas are leftovers from the halloumi lunch we had. Everything else we prepped this afternoon for a quick cooking after starting the new US version of House of Cards on Netflix.
Soph was making the lean turkey mince burgers. It’s a mix of:
- lean turkey mince
- red onion
- fresh coriander
- ground cumin
- mustard powder
- Worcestershire sauce
- salt & pepper
And then make into patties.
For the sweet potato & chickpea burgers I’m basically following this recipe from CookSmarts. I start by roughly chopping the sweet potato then microwaving for 8 minutes in a covered bowl with a splash of water. Even then some were a bit tough… but there’s more cooking later so hopefully it’ll be OK.
This goes in the food processor with a chopped onion, 2 tsp of garam masala, a can of chick peas, plus salt & pepper.
After some blitzing and scraping down, you’ve got your basic mix.
Then I mix in a cup (I’ll let it go in this recipe) of frozen peas.
Then it’s making into patties, and into the fridge with the turkey burgers.
This gets added to chopped red onion, spring onions, torn up fresh coriander.
This has the juice of two limes to it. As limed don’t have seeds like lemons do, you can just roll them on the counter, cut in half, then turn inside out to get all the juice out of them.
Soph taught me how to deal with mangos. Start by cutting down either side of the stone in the middle.
Then score in both directions, and turn inside out to get a hedgehog, and then it’s easy to cut off the chunks you need.
Scoop out the avocado, and then mix together before putting in the fridge.
Then it’s into the oven at 180c fan for 15mins to cook through. We checked the turkey burgers had got to 75c internally, and it was time to plate up!
It was delicious. All the flavours worked really well together. Spicy and warm burgers and bread, with tangy and fresh salsas. And all pretty damned healthy to boot!
We then ate lots of flapjack… :S

There are more than 300 types of parrots around the world. Many bird hobbyists raise companion parrots as pets, attracted by their colorful plumage and high level of intelligence. Popular species include macaws, cockatoos, Amazons and parakeets. Occasionally, a parrot may experience diarrhea. Learn how to identify and cure diarrhea through lifestyle and diet changes, as well as when to contact a veterinarian.
How to Stop Parrot Diarrhea
Determine whether your parrot has polyuria or diarrhea. It is easy to confuse the two. Diarrhea is when the parrot's feces are a soft, formless mass. Polyuria is very watery feces but the feces retain their shape within the water.
Decrease stress. Stress may induce diarrhea in your parrot. Move the parrot's cage to a quiet area. Reduce human activity around the cage. Consider playing a soothing background noise, such as soft classical music. Schedule a routine for feeding the parrot and cleaning the cage so that the parrot gets used to your daily rhythm.
Note what you are feeding the parrot, and change the diet where appropriate. Reducing the amount of fruit fed to the bird may encourage firmer stool production. Rotten, spoiled or moldy food can also cause diarrhea. In addition, your parrot may have diarrhea if you are feeding the bird antibiotics to treat a disease or infection.
Feed the parrot an enriched parrot food, such as those manufactured by Kaylor or FM Browns Nutrition. Diarrhea may be caused by a nutritional deficiency, such as a lack of calcium. Supplementing the parrot's diet with vitamin-enriched feed may be sufficient to stop diarrhea. Enriched feed can be purchased at a pet store or from an online retailer.
Check your parrot's toys and cage. Lead poisoning can cause diarrhea, and lead is found occasionally in various household items and pet supplies. Contact the manufacturer of your bird cage and bird toys to see if there were any recent recalls of the product due to lead content.
Take your parrot to see a veterinarian if the bird does not return to normal bowel movements after several days. Diarrhea may be a symptom of a greater health problem, especially if accompanied by secondary symptoms such as feather loss, listlessness or blood in the feces. For example, an internal hernia, fungal infection and roundworms can all cause diarrhea in a parrot. Contact the American Veterinary Medical Association to find an AVMA-accredited vet.
