Learning about syndication and podcasts I’ve been spending some time today looking at different ways to get our content out to listeners. We’ve been asking about how you listen podcasts on our Facebook page and we’re still really interested in that so please do get in touch via social media by clicking on an icon below. As a new podcast, it’s so important that we get our show out there to as many people as we can, otherwise we may as well talk to ourselves! This has meant some head scratching on my part and I can’t tell you how many windows I’ve had open on my Mac this afternoon! There are several steps I needed to take and these are… Setting up RSS feeds from this website. As a podcaster we need a podcast RSS feed to share with followers and submit to directories like Apple. RSS is simply a collection of XML (“extensible markup language”) standard formatting and without it, we don’t have a podcast! This is why the listen page has changed to this page here as it required a different set up. You can find the future episode details right here. Get the podcast onto Apple’s podcast. This was a bit of a learning curve because I though you had to have three recordings. It transpires that we need three posts which can also be articles so that was fairly quickly solved and I hope we’ll have approval from Apple very soon. Spotify. This is coming soon as I need to get my head around their requirements. It’s never ever the same on each platform! Content mark up. By this I mean a description, title, album cover, logo format and author details for everywhere that the podcast appears and making sure that the categories all match up in each podcast syndication we use (the websites and places that will share our work). Are we about health or news for example? I decided on health, self help and families as I think it’s important we break into those markets. It’s also important that the content all contains keywords so our SEO (search engine optimisation) is working and we’re located on Google. Using weird words and made up phrases means Google hates us and we’ll never be found! There is much more work to do but I’m hoping that all the above only happens once! Luckily the website has been a doddle to do and I’m so pleased that side was simple.. in fact it was all fairly easy once I understood this new lingo! I’m still holding by breath and hoping it works…! This means that I am thrilled to bits (again… how many more times in one week?!) to let you know that you can listen to us on Podbean by clicking this link here to get to our channel. Podbean has an app which you can download and listen. For Apple devices click here to get to the iTunes store, and here for android devices. I’ve also learnt about Google Feedburner, oh yes, it’s full on geekathon over here! This means you can listen to us by pressing the button below. I’m still not totally convinced by Google’s Feedburner, I get the feeling Google bought it to rival Apple’s Podcast and forgot to update the design somewhere along the line but it is generally considered to be a universal RSS feed. If you are thinking about a podcast and you’d like some advice, then I’ll do my best to help you. Just drop me a line or leave a comment below!

As part of Haiti's recovery from the 2009 earthquake that devastated the region, the Huffington Post reports that the Yéle Haiti Foundation has a plan to get the country's hospitality industry back on track. CEO Derek Johnson and Parris Jordan, managing director of the hospitality consulting firm HVS' Caribbean office, have joined forces behind a program designed to educate Haiti residents in the hotel industry. The vocational-training initiative will operate out of Jacmel, a port city that suffered severe damage after the earthquake. "We're still in the bowel of re-emergence. As relief dollars dissipate, we believe that people desperately need to create and pursue opportunity for themselves," said Johnson. "This series of vocational training initiatives are all aimed at sectors we believe the country must grow in if it is to re-emerge from the catastrophic circumstances." Yéle Haiti, which was founded in 2005 by Grammy Award-winning musician Wyclef Jean, was set up as a grassroots, nonpolitical, charitable organization focusing on emergency relief, employment, youth development and education. The first three months of the program will focus solely on customer service and expectations, and the last three months will focus on a specific area of the hotel business, like housekeeping, concierge or front desk. "What we're after is the investment in human capital — giving people a chance to build a life whereby they can sustain themselves," said Johnson. "If we can work to develop a workforce, then business will come and the government will invest the resources." It looks as if the investment is already paying off. While the program hasn't even launched yet (it officially starts this September), Yéle Haiti has already secured job placements for 95 of the 120 students. Read more at the Huffington Post.

WORDS Biddi Rorke PHOTOS Micky Hoyle PRODUCTION Sumien Brink The design rationale behind the new function venue at Louisvale Wines is a considered marriage of African and European building traditions. Louisvale Wines on the slopes of Devon Valley near the town of Stellenbosch arguably has one of the most beautiful settings in the Cape Winelands. Now, a fitting new function venue and revamped tasting centre have opened their doors to enhance visitors’ experience of the farm and the wines. The anthropological history of the area was the inspiration for the building’s unusual design. As Christof Albertyn, the architect behind the project, explains: “The first inhabitants of this area were the Khoekhoen, who practised nomadic pastoral agriculture and hunted for food close to what is now named the Eerste River. In the summer months they would move to the coast, where they lived off seafood such as perlemoen and alikreukel (periwinkle). The Khoekhoen also built the first man-made structures in the area: domed huts, or matjieshuise, were constructed from taaibos laths covered with woven reed mats and animal skins.” When Europeans arrived here in the 17th century, they introduced vines and oak trees to the area and built white-plastered gabled houses. What Christof has achieved at Louisvale is a sensitive fusion of these two diametrically opposed building styles. “The soft curve of the Rheinzink cladding reflects the shape and surface of a Khoekhoen reed mat hut,” says Christof. “The dome is supported by curved steel rails and connected by floating glass to the concrete floor, which is embedded with polished perlemoen shell chips.” Known for its lightness, strength and durability, Rheinzink is a trademarked name for titanium zinc. This material doesn’t require regular maintenance and the aesthetic patina created by natural weathering protects it for decades. Rheinzink also requires little energy in production and is 100% recyclable, meeting today’s design considerations for sustainability and low energy use. The dome hovers over a low concrete roof, which has been planted with restios to reference the thatched roof of the Nieu Cape Dutch-style manor house, built in 1924, right next to the new building. In strategic places, the dome facade peels away in organic curves to make the most of the views of the mountains in the distance. The end result is a dramatic, intelligent departure from the expected.

Carrick United are only the second club in the Waterford District League to receive this award, following on from Park Rangers earlier this season. The Carrickbeg based club are ‘delighted’ with the award. “It’s a great achievement over the last year, following on from our Club Merit Award at 2017 FAI Festival of Football," a club spokesperson said. The FAI Club Mark award recognises Carrick United’s best practice in the governance, management and administration of the football club. Carrick United’s application was put together by John White, who liaised with FAI club education and support officer Vincent Foley over the last few months to get it over the line. It took into account the club's behind the scenes work in areas such as child welfare, safeguarding, club structures and coach education.

The accomodation adequate to its price, utterly clean. Helpful and attentive gentleman receptionist. I felt really welcome. Pictoresque village with super arboreous natural surroundings, one can admire gorgeous deciduous trees of giant diametres. The breakfast was old fashioned continental /German, I like it although and THIS IS NOT A CRITICAL NOTE, THIS IS AN ADVICE: if I were a manager I would see to some modernisation. It is about time. It will come sooner or later so it would be good take the step now and be creative visioner. I would suggest to serve breakfast in the Kuckuu restaurant and perhaps get more hotel bedrooms where now is breakfast prepared and served. I emphasize this is merely friendly ment suggestion. Best regards Roman Rohacek The stuff was so helpful and friendly, good bereakfast! The wifi connection was weak - it should be much better! Under construction at the moment Construction Site adjoining. Building is old and outdated Everything was absolutely great, fulfilled all my expectations. Price is low mainly because it is a bit far from Darmstadt but if this is not an issue, then this is an excellent choice.

So, you’ve come in because you have back pain.. but you are wondering why we didn’t massage the site of the pain, read below to find out why! Osteopaths appreciate how massaging a sore back helps, but there are times when it can make things worse. Although massaging tight or contracted muscles makes sense, if the area is sore and inflamed, should it be massaged? Well… not necessarily. Sometimes one of the best things that we can do is to leave that area alone. Instead we treat adjacent areas, or areas that are regarded as biomechanically connected. And guess what? This principle doesn’t only apply to sore muscles or back pain, but also to disc prolapses – aka “slipped disc”. If a disc is bulging, “prolapsing”, or “sequestered” (terms that indicate that the disc is in some way squashed) one of the best things an Osteopath can do is to take the strain OFF that disc or those muscles by relaxing other muscles or soft tissues in different parts of the body. Sometimes we will work on an area that is quite a long away from the site of pain – like correcting a problem in the upper back in order to give the lower back a more balanced load. As Osteopaths, we are trained to identify areas that are biomechanically related to problem discs. So in order to provide effective treatment, a key part of the Osteopathic assessment is to appraise the big picture (biomechanically speaking). If you have lower back pain, you shouldn’t always expect us to massage your lower back – it might be the worst thing that we can do. But if we don’t seem to rub the site of pain, we will give you a very clear explanation as to why not, and tell you exactly how our treatment should help.

Uncanny X-Men #19 By Matthew Rosenberg, Carlos Villa, Carlos Gomez, Bob Quinn, and Guru e-Fx One of the burning questions since Uncanny X-Men re-launched was the whereabouts of Emma Frost. In this week’s Uncanny X-Men #19, we get our answer. Emma has been a polarizing character for some fans since the events of Inhumans vs. X-Men, but Matthew Rosenberg is doing his best to sway you to her side, or at least see where she’s coming from. First things first, this issue takes place through a series of flashbacks, which Rosenberg uses effectively. Rosenberg ties events together from his time on the disassembled storyline, like Anole stealing the cure serum. This is a big issue for Emma because we get to see her side of the story and why she absent for so long, and more importantly, why she removed herself from Scott and Logan’s memories. Rosenberg handles both of the scenes involving the wiping very well. The scene with Scott in the diner has a lot of meaning behind it. Rosenberg shows us how much she loves and believes in Scott as she talks to him and the reader. For readers who see Emma as cold, this is a page to prove them wrong. The panels with Logan work well to and show that Emma is very responsible for where we are right now in Rosenberg’s X-Men run. This was a well planned and executed issue by Rosenberg. If you’re an Emma fan, it’s a must read. The pencils this issue were handled by Carlos Villa, Carlos Gomez and Bob Quinn, with colors by Guru e-Fx. The hard thing about complimenting the pencils for this issue, is that all three artists pencils resemble one another and it’s hard to tell them apart. As Emma goes shopping with Marrow, who looks like she has a new design, the pencils are on point. Things look clean and crisp, which is due to the many inkers who worked on this issue as well. There are also some well drawn action panels in the early pages of the issue as Emma is attacked at a dinner party. We see her get into diamond form and clobber Strong Guy, and it’s drawn nicely and it has great perspective. Possibly the most talked about page in the book will be the diner scene with Scott. This needed be to one of the best drawn pages, and it was. The expression and pain on Emma’s face as she has the conversation is really perfect, we can feel the pain. The colors this issue by Guru e-Fx are wonderful as usual. The contrast of dark and light colors work well, and we get disastrous moments in the day. A character gets turned to a glob, and Guru e-FX colors the panel amazingly. This run on Uncanny X-Men has been very good. Matthew Rosenberg is a huge fan of the characters and writes them with respect. The pencils and colors work well with the story and bring you more into the book. This is the best X-Men book on the shelf

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE On October 10, the American Conference on Diversity in collaboration with the tri-state area South Asian Business Alliance Network (SABAN) hosted the spiritually uplifting “Faith in Diversity” initiative. More than a dozen primarily women leaders representing eight different religions inspired the audience at Royal Albert’s Palace in Edison, NJ, with their personal defining moments of faith. “These are stories of the past and present showing up in our future. These trailblazing women are sharing their defining moments of faith and paving the way for others,” said American Conference on Diversity President & CEO Elizabeth Williams-Riley during the welcoming remarks. Part of the American Conference on Diversity yearlong 65th anniversary celebration, the event helped promote respect and build bridges of interfaith commonality. “Faith in Diversity” also included a special guest appearance from Assemblyman Upendra J. Chivukula (the first Indian American elected to the New Jersey General Assembly), a Langston Hughes poetry performance by Ms. Williams-Riley, Indian dancers, a Punjabi selection, and ethnic foods that filled attendees with the power to create lasting change. Pam Kwatra (shown center right), co-founder and national director of SABAN and a member of the American Conference on Diversity board of directors, kicked off the evening of fellowship with a collaborative and traditional Loving Light candle lighting ceremony. “For past five years, this partnership had a special meaning. Faith in diversity is nothing more than different roads leading you to the same God or higher being,” said Ms. Kwatra. “Let us light candles of hope and freedom, praying that all beings feel the ripple effect of peace, love, and harmony.” ►Dr. Khyati Joshi (shown), one of our 2012 Greater Bergen Chapter Humanitarian Award honorees, a published author, and Fairleigh Dickinson University Associate Professor of Education whose work intersects racial, religious, and all other dimensions of diversity and inclusion, encouraged attendees to understand the process of “lived religion.” ►Atiya Aftab, Esq., the first woman chair of the board of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey, told about her multicultural/interfaith background and shared several defining moments that taught her to “never be ashamed of who you are.” ►Rabbi Stephanie Dickstein, LMSW, spiritual care coordinator at the Shira Ruskay Center of the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services who was part of the second class at the Jewish Theological Seminary to include women, explained how she helped write Jewish neonatal death law. ►Camelia Valdes, Esq., a Christian who is the first Latina County Prosecutor in New Jersey, the first woman prosecutor in Passaic County, and the first lead prosecutor of Dominican ancestry in the United States, said: “Issues that affect Muslim women, affect Latina women, and affect all women. Whoever your higher being is, please stay connected.” ►Cassandra Martin MHS (shown), training and organizational development specialist at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and a Priestess of the Lucumi (or Santeria) faith, revealed how her religion commemorates all the forces of nature and said, “Tonight is my defining moment.” ►Dr. Yesim Acikel, a representative of Peace Islands Institute, a Newark-based human equality organization that promotes mutual respect and acceptance among all people and religions, prompted the audience to “get out of your comfort zones and get to know people with different preferences, cultures, and religions.” ►Sheryl Olitzky (shown right with Atiya Aftab, Esq.), a woman of Jewish faith, shared how she began to study the often-misunderstood Islamic faith and co-found the national organization Sisterhood of Salaam/Shalom for Jewish/Muslim interfaith relations after visiting Auschwitz concentration camp. ►Dr. Indira Taneja, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatrics, Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School, who represented the Science of Spirituality, illustrated how meditation is the process of the mind that has incredible powers to “heal the body, mind, and soul.” ►Renee Lobo, a Hindu woman, acclaimed broadcast journalist, and president of Reenbow Media, spoke of women and empowerment through faith. “Hinduism taught me about gratitude and service and inner strength,” she said. ►Surya Makar (shown) and Taran Kaur, both representing Sikhism, imparted their faith’s virtues (charity, patience, humility, for instance) and vices (anger, violence, hatred). “Serving humanity—that’s what it’s all about,” said Assemblyman Chivukula (shown), during his presentation. “It’s easy to talk about spirituality but difficult to practice it. Let us use [faith] to build bridges, not walls, to make this world a better place.” Special thanks to the following planning committee members, sponsors, and attendees: ADP, American Factoring Group, Angela Guy, Bank of Baroda, Holy Name Medical Center, Indian Visa Center, Islamic Society of Central Jersey, Jewish Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Northern NJ, Kripari Marketing, L’Oreal USA, Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Patel Brothers, Peace Island Institute, Prudential Financial, SABAN, Science of Spirituality. “Faith in Diversity” was the first of five informative diversity events the American Conference on Diversity will be hosting this fall.

I made a 1.5 'high heart shaped box with a heart shaped pocket off set by .25 from the out side 1.25 inches deep. Then I used the same heart shape and made a lid. Using the same vector as I did for the pocket and the out side shape I cut a pocket there. Then another toolpath to cut the top out. Well to my surprize the top did not fit into the pocket in the bottom. So I am trying to figure out to set up to cut the inner shape smaller in the top to allow it to fit Is there some way to do a inner cut allowance. Or how do I make the top fit into the box. Jeff Not sure how changing direction of the cutter that will make the area of the top that needs to be smaller any smaller when it is still following the same vector. That is what I needs to happen. I thought I saw a video some where that showed how to fit 2 parts together using some offset that all you need to do was input a value. Jeff This is my first post on the forum so go gentle. I make small boxes on my 8 X 8 milling machine bed. I gained a tremendous insight from John Clark. https://youtu.be/jVA6f5C4Btw He has about 3 or 4 videos on box making. Hope this helps you out Here is a Heart Shaped Box crv file for you to look at. Note the use of ALLOWANCE on the Toolpaths to enlarge and shrink cuts. The value comes from a document variable so you can tune the cut for your machine. I leave it a little loose coming off the machine so I can apply finish.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (January 23, 2018) – The Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation transferred today an innovative human trafficking data program to the State Attorney’s Office. The program was developed by the Women’s Foundation in cooperation with the Southwest Florida Human Task Force under the leadership of the 20th Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office. Amira Fox, Chief Assistant State Attorney, said, “We are grateful to the Women’s Foundation for pioneering the development of this essential data tool for our Human Trafficking Task Force members. Our goal is to implement the data program immediately throughout the 20th Circuit and make it available to all other Florida Circuits as soon as possible.” The transfer of the human trafficking data program to the State Attorney’s Office is a major milestone in the Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation’s commitment to combat human trafficking. The program which uses the applicable types and definitions of human trafficking compiled in the Polaris Project’s Typology of Modern Slavery. The Polaris Project is one of the largest anti-trafficking organizations in the U.S. “We learned several years ago that the lack of accurate data and privacy issues represented major obstacles for law enforcement, victim service and legal professionals in quantifying the problem and securing adequate resources to combat human trafficking,” noted Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation Founder and CEO Brenda Tate. “At the request of the U.S. Attorney serving this region at the time, the Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation responded to the challenge and began exploring options for obtaining and developing accurate and useful data,” Tate emphasized. The database gathers information about gender, age range, type of trafficking, and risk factors. This information will be centralized, analyzed, and reported out by the 20th Circuit State Attorney’s Office. The resulting data will not only deepen our understanding of human trafficking that happens in our own backyard but will also reflect trends over time and validate the specific resources needed to bolster the professional efforts of local and statewide agencies.Task Force members will be able to share non-identifying information on the victims served by their respective agencies without violating privacy laws or risking the safety of their clients. The types of human trafficking happening in Southwest Florida include, but are not limited to, sex trafficking of children on websites and labor trafficking of farmworkers. What happens when you hear the word networking? If you're struggling with networking and finding the right customers and clients this episode is for you! Use these three strategies to get over your networking fears! We’d like to thank EILEEN FISHER for supporting our work and mission with a $3,000 Human Rights Grant! EILEEN FISHER is a US-based women’s clothing company with strong values around human rights, environmental sustainability, and support of women and girls. “We are committed to programs that educate, boost security and entrepreneurship, and advocate from a woman’s perspective. We are especially grateful that EILEEN FISHER has recognized our efforts to stop the sale of children for sex and other forms of human trafficking in Southwest Florida and beyond,” says Brenda Tate, CEO of the Southwest Florida Women’s Foundation. We’re hosting two events in February 2018 to train law, order and human trafficking victim support professionals and a community outreach to inform community leaders about human trafficking. For more information about the events, please contact Charlotte Newell at [email protected]. Have you been thinking about starting a business, but maybe you’re saying to yourself? “There’s too much competition out there, I don’t know how I would measure up.” Business Coach, Darcy Eikenberg will dispel the three most common myths stopping hopeful entrepreneurs from bringing their ideas to life. How about you? How do you get past all the myths that are out there about competition? Let us know in the comments below Today we’ll discuss the three things that get in the way of starting, growing, and succeding, in business. Those three things are fear, worry, and stress. Below are some tips on how to manage these emotions. 3. Turn your fear into excitement (turn your fear into something positive instead of focusing on the negative) When you feel the fear overwhelming you before an event, before a phone call, etc., take a deep breath and focus on the positive in the current situation to turn your fear into excitement. If you’re excited about what you do, that will help get over the stress and worry and your fear will turn into confidence. People can feel that! Remember that every time you start something new or do something that is out of your normal everyday routine, you are going to experience some level of fear, worry, and stress. That is the ancient part of your brain trying to keep you safe to continue doing the things that you’re already comfortable doing.

As time went by, we found that we never used the ice maker because most of the campgrounds that we stayed at were on well water or water that we didn't want to drink--even using a whole camper filter so the ice maker turned out to be a waste of space for us. |The original RV fridge| We were sitting in the camper one day when my eyes began to burn. Just as I began to ask Gman if his eyes were burning, the propane detector began blaring! We vacated the camper and then opened everything that could be opened to air it out. As it turns out, according to the internet, RV propane/electric fridges use Ammonia, hydrogen and an anti-corrosive agent. No wonder my eyes were burning when that leaked out! We checked around and found that to replace that 12 cu ft side by side would cost somewhere north of $4,000. Yep! For that, we could get a Sub Zero! Are you kidding???!!! We needed to get the fridge replaced as it was JUNE! Yes JUNE! Thankfully we were staying not far from my parent's home and were able to tote everything to the extra fridge in their garage and our little chest freezer that we had in their garage. We did some noodling and measuring and found that in a camper of the size of ours, we didn't really use it unless it was parked in a campground so we didn't need the option of running on propane. Out came the fridge. |The fridge and shelf that the fridge sat on removed from the camper.| We could not believe how BIG that thing looked once it was out! And HEAVY!!!! Wowzers! Next, we sawed out the supports and took out the drawer that was underneath the old fridge which left us with a nice opening. |Space after removal of drawer and old fridge.| The gas line was crimped and soldered and cut off and the hard wiring was capped off. I was totally surprised that there was an electrical plug in there already! Nice! |Arrow points to old vent which is now insulated and covered.| |Grooves in new ceiling of opening to let out heat from new fridge.| It was now time to do some shopping. The final opening was measured again and then I checked all around on the internet. We could pretty much get any size household fridge--even the cute french door fridges (which totally make me weak in the knees! I LOVE those!) There was one big consideration though. We had to be sure it would fit through the doorway into the camper. After looking around for quite a while, I decided on a regular black 18 cu ft fridge. No ice maker, thanks! We headed to Sears Outlet and bought the new fridge. According to the internet, the 18 cu ft model we were getting actually weighed 50 lbs less than the 12 cu ft model that was originally there because it didn't need the extra propane part of the fridge. The new fridge was more efficient as well. We had to wait 6 long days for the new fridge to be delivered, but the day finally arrived! The guys had never delivered to an RV before. This was a first! They were not sure they could get it into the camper. Yep, you can. Measured. Double Measured and visited the store to measure in person. It will fit guys. And it did--without removing the doors. |Installing the new fridge!| It looked like the opening was made for that puppy! Perfect! I could have gotten a cabinet depth model but this one just sticks out about the same amount that the doors are thick which allows the fridge doors to fully open but doesn't stick out so much that it gets in the way at all. They leveled, left and carted the old fridge off. Their first RV fridge cart off. :) And now, we have a nice residential fridge that weighs less than the original fridge but has 50% more space and is much more energy efficient. We love it! |New Fridge. Perfect!| You know what else I love about the new fridge? With the addition of some fluorescent dry erase markers, it is also a great dry erase board! |Fluorescent dry erase markers make the fridge a GREAT dry erase board!| I use it all the time to keep my grocery list and mark down appointments or recipes that I don't want to forget! (I use the front of my microwave for that too and it works great!) Funny. I was so worried about putting a residential fridge into our camper and lately Gman and I have been touring the new campers. The big ones all come with the residential fridges now! We were ahead of the game. Go figure! :)

“About 80 trillion won ($71.3 billion) of the domestic shadow banking market is highly subject to volatility, likely to face insolvency depending on the real estate market situation,” Shin Yong-sang, senior researcher at KIF, claimed in a related report. Shadow banking, often termed “market-based financing,” refers to financial products by nonbank financial institutes that provide services similar to traditional commercial bank, but outside the banking regulations. According to the report, the total volume of real estate-related shadow banking here stood at 469.7 trillion won as of the end of September last year. Such nonbank financing especially marked a visible expansion in 2010-2017 amid the nation’s sustained preference of low interest rate, as well as the prosperity of the domestic real estate market. Of the total amount, real estate trusts and alternative investment funds accounted for 242.5 trillion won and 139 trillion won, respectively, while project financing followed with 41.1 trillion won. The problem is that about 17 percent of the entire volume, or 80 trillion won, is currently subject to volatility, the report pointed out, expressing concerns on the 1.1 trillion-won peer-to-peer lending sector. “Real estate accounts for a considerable majority in household assets. Considering South Korea’s relatively high dependence on shadow banking, the downside risks triggered by a real estate market downturn could be bigger than fluctuations in other financial assets,” the report said. “Financial authorities need to keep track of the shadow banking market at all times and build a risk management system.” By Bae Hyun-jung ([email protected])

Molto interessante questa classifica edita dal sito web inglese United Reggae. A differenza delle altre questa è compilata con un criterio intelligente. Particolarmente significativa perchè non da numeri uno o ultimo in classifica ma li raccoglie semplicemente. Altra cosa che piace e che non fa differenza per genere c'è un po di tutto. Anzi proprio quest'anno è passata da i migliori 25 a 30 album includendo anche il Dub per gli amanti del genere. Dunque preparatevi a leggere semplicemente i migliori 30 album usciti in questo 2014 appena andato via. In questo modo sarà molto utile a deejay ma anche a chi vuole ampliare le sue conoscenze sicuro di stare avanti ad ascoltare un ottimo lavoro. TOP 30 MIGLIORI ALBUM DEL 2014 Jahmali – We I Open We I Open equals sun-burnt skin, sand between your toes and salty hair. A cheerful contemporary rub-a-dub set with lots of light to wash your troubles away. Black Roots – Ghetto Feel Deep and profound vintage roots reggae. This album could easily have been released in the early 80s. Sly & Robbie – Dubrising Heavy as lead, yet melodic and refined, and with adventurous dub mixing by the legendary Paul “Groucho” Smykle. Blue King Brown – Born Free A powerful sonic experience with slower jams and militant anthems. Etana – I Rise Another excellent set from one of Jamaica’s leading voices. A set that effortlessly blends infectious love ballads and tough roots anthems. Tuff Scout Allstars – Inna London Dub Harder than most contemporary dub albums with ridiculously deep bass lines and hypnotic grooves. Sara Lugo – Hit Me with Music Bright and positive from start to finish. Sara Lugo explores the gentle side of reggae with influences from soul, jazz and light electronic pop. Earl 16 & Manasseh – Gold Dust Beautifully crafted with Earl 16’s delicate and dreamy vocals floating on top of the at times partly acoustic backing. Lloyd Brown – LB 50 Yet another harmonious set from one of most reliable and hardest working artists in the reggae industry. Roberto Sánchez & The Rockers Disciples – Blackboard Jungle Showcase Vol. II Excellent vintage-sounding roots and dub from some of Europe’s finest musicians. Popcaan – Where We Come From A remarkable, exceptional and unique dancehall effort that hopefully can start a new trend in the otherwise very busy and non-consistent dancehall industry. Raging Fyah – Destiny The melodies and the arrangements are beautiful and it’s impossible not to get struck by a sweet piano ballad like Brave or pulsating non-stop rocking rockers like Barriers and Step Outta Babylon. Hezron – The Life I Live(d) Hezron’s debut album, but it sounds mature, partly because of the well-produced riddims by some of Jamaica’s finest, and partly because he sings like he has never done anything else in his life. Lee Perry – Back on the Controls A dark and dense album showcasing Lee Perry’s signature style. Soul Majestic – Setting the Tone With its angelic vocal harmonizing and alternating male and female lead vocals – this is a sublime, beautiful and uplifting album. Hollie Cook – Twice Nine tracks and over 40 minutes of discofied reggae in its greatest form. Free your mind, take off your shoes and hang on, this is a rollercoaster into dreamy territory. Earl Sixteen – Natty Farming Organic and analogue with Earl Sixteen’s pleading voice floating elegantly over the throbbing and syncopated riddims. Bugle – Anointed Probably best known for singles like Doh, What I’m I Gonna Do, Journey and Don’t Give Up, and if you dig those you’ll love this album. Sizzla – Born a King Wickedly well-produced, balanced and detailed. This scorching album is definitely one of the strongest sets from Sizzla’s more than extensive catalogue. Alpheus – Good Prevails Skip the poorly sounding rocksteady reissues and go for this meticulously constructed and well-produced set. This is the sound of real reggae music. Chronixx – Dread & Terrible Solid debut set from this youthful and passionate singer that has focused on quality rather than quantity. Clinton Fearon – Goodness Yet another fine example of how Clinton Fearon and his Boogie Brown Band takes the reggae legacy into contemporary territory. Black Symbol – Journey A spiritual and sometimes meditative journey with sublime harmonizing and beautiful back-up vocals courtesy of Empress Bev. Her touch gives the album a character of its own. Addis Pablo – In My Father’s House Its 17 tracks takes the listener on a meditative, haunting and melodic roots reggae journey. Tarrus Riley – Love Situation Slick, polished and timeless with lots of classic and vintage sounding riddims. Gentleman – MTV Unplugged The MTV Unplugged format was immensely popular in the 90s and I thought it was dead, but this album shows that it’s still very much alive and kicking. I-Octane – My Journey The culture and lovers themed My Journey is an entertaining and lively album filled with lots of energy, beautiful hooks and memorable melodies. Ziggi Recado – Therapeutic A little something for both body and mind. Pressure – The Sound Pressure’s fourth album and is his best to date. It includes the usual sweet arrangements and backing provided by Zion I Kings. Nicodrum & Friends – Back to Fundechan Music with a big heart, a solid pulse and lots of soul.

I know that one shouldn´t get all worked up and excited over a registered domain, but when the game in question just happens to be Dawn of War 3, so I got all the rights to be excited, because it´s true. SEGA really has registered a Dawn of War 3 domain, and by the looks of it, SEGA registered that domain back in 2008, and then they updated it on the 26th of March this year. Another interesting thing would be the fact that the registrant’s email address actually belongs to Relic´s IT department. So one can only hope that this means that SEGA and Relic is working on Dawn of War 3 as we speak, personally I really hope that Relic has been working on Dawn of War 3 for a long time, because if that´s the case, then we “might” be able to see a trailer for the game in the near future.

Suratt & Ors v. The Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago (Trinidad and Tobago ) UKPC 55 (15 October 2007) Privy Council Appeal No 84 of 2006 (1) Kenneth Suratt (on behalf of himself and 14 others) (2) Devon Garray (3) Davis Thomas (4) Dianne Arneaud (5) Abygail Arneaud (6) Rakesh Persad (7) Ashton Ramsundar Appellants The Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago Respondent THE COURT OF APPEAL OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - JUDGMENT OF THE LORDS OF THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL Delivered the 15th October 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Present at the hearing:- Lord Bingham of Cornhill Baroness Hale of Richmond Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DISSENTING JUDGMENT OF LORD BINGHAM OF CORNHILL - This appeal raises a question of great difficulty and importance. It is whether the Equal Opportunity Act 2000 ("the EOA" or "the Act") is inconsistent with the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago, which by section 2 of the Constitution is the supreme law, and so void. It was held to be so by Smith J sitting in the High Court and his decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal (Sharma CJ, Archie and Mendonca JJA) in a judgment of Archie JA with which the other members of the court agreed. The appellants challenge that conclusion. - The EOA was passed by a simple majority of both Houses of Parliament and was assented to on 20 October 2000. Part VI of the Act was brought into force in November 2000 and the remainder of the Act in January 2001. It was amended in May 2001, in a way immaterial for present purposes, by an Act passed by both Houses, again by a simple majority, and assented to in June 2001. But the EOA has not been implemented. This, it appears, is because the government in power since December 2001 was advised that the Act was, or might be, unconstitutional. The appellants, all persons claiming to be victims of discriminatory treatment prohibited by the EOA, brought these proceedings by way of constitutional motion in May 2003, complaining of the government's failure to implement the Act. - For historical reasons which it is unnecessary to explore, there is in the population of Trinidad and Tobago a degree of racial, religious and cultural diversity which, while enriching and strengthening the national life, has also been recognised as giving rise to problems of discrimination. Section 4 of the Constitution provides that the fundamental human rights and freedoms listed in the section had existed and should continue to exist "without discrimination by reason of race, origin, colour, religion or sex", but it is common ground that this refers only to discrimination by the state on the grounds specifically mentioned. Harmful discrimination may, however, be exercised otherwise than by the state and on grounds, such as disability, other than those mentioned. In 1987 an eminent Constitution Commission was appointed, which reported in 1990 and considered the establishment of an Equal Rights or Equal Opportunities Commission, strongly advocated by Dr La Guerre. In January 1996 the Law Commission of Trinidad and Tobago published a Working Paper on Equal Opportunity Legislation, which included a comparative survey of such legislation in other jurisdictions. A Joint Select Committee of Parliament was appointed to consider this Working Paper, and it submitted its Report in November 1997. The Attorney General obtained the advice of leading counsel in England in June and July 1998, and in June 1998 the Law Commission reported on the constitutionality of the Equal Opportunity Bill 1998. While counsel for the Attorney General, resisting the appellants' challenge in these proceedings, insisted on the unconstitutionality of the EOA, he said nothing to disparage the objects of the Act. The government is seeking to achieve very similar objects in its Equal Opportunity Bill 2007, for which it will seek an enhanced parliamentary majority. - The EOA is similar in many respects to comparable legislation elsewhere. In Parts II – V it defines "discrimination" and specifies the fields in which the Act is and is not to apply. Part VI establishes an Equal Opportunity Commission, the function of which is broadly to promote the elimination of discrimination. Part VII deals with complaints, which the Commission is to investigate. Where feasible the Commission may seek to resolve these by conciliation, but where this cannot be done the Commission must report and, with the consent of the complainant, initiate proceedings before the Tribunal. The EOA arms the Commission with powers appropriate for its functions, and no separate question arises on the constitutionality of the Commission. The issue arises on Part VIII, which in sections 41-52 provides for the Equal Opportunity Tribunal ("the Tribunal"). - The Tribunal comprises a chairman and two lay assessors. Decisions of the Tribunal in any proceedings are to be made and delivered by the chairman (s. 44(7)) and the lay assessors are to assist the chairman in arriving at a decision (s. 42(4)). The jurisdiction and powers of the Tribunal are exercisable by the chairman and at least one lay assessor (s. 44(1)). The Tribunal may (subject to the approval of the President of the Republic) make rules to govern the procedure and practice of the Tribunal, including costs (s. 44(8)). - The Tribunal is to be a superior court of record and is to have, in addition to the jurisdiction and powers conferred on it by the Act, all the powers inherent in such a court (s 41(1)). Such powers, it is agreed, include a power to fine a contemnor or commit him to prison for contempt. In the case of a superior court of record at least this power exists even where the contempt is not committed in the face of the court: R v West Yorkshire Coroner, Ex p Smith (No. 2) QB 1096. The Tribunal has jurisdiction to hear and determine complaints referred to it by the Commission, to require persons to attend for the purpose of giving evidence and producing documents, and to make such declarations, orders and awards of compensation as it thinks fit (s. 41(4)). A summons signed by the Registrar for enforcing the attendance of a witness or the production of documents has the same effect as formal process issued in the High Court (ss. 44(5), 45(3)). The Tribunal has the same powers, rights and privileges as are vested in the High Court in relation to the attendance and examination of witnesses, the production and inspection of documents, the enforcement of its orders, "the entry on inspection of the property" (sic) and other matters necessary or proper for the exercise of its jurisdiction (s. 45(1)). Provision is made in section 48 for the recovery and enforcement of compensation and damages awarded by the Tribunal on the filing of a certificate of the Registrar as civil debts or as if they were High Court judgments. Fines are recoverable by the Registrar of the Tribunal, whose certificate is conclusive, and are paid into the Consolidated Fund (s. 48(2), (6)). An appeal lies from the Tribunal to the Court of Appeal, whether as of right or with leave, on grounds specified in section 50(2) of the Act, but subject to that the orders, awards, findings or decisions of the Tribunal in any matter may not be challenged, appealed against, reviewed, quashed or called in question on any account whatever and the Tribunal may not be subject to prohibition, mandamus or injunction in any tribunal on any account whatever (s. 50(1)). - The chairman of the Tribunal is to be "a Judge of status equal to that of a High Court judge (s. 41(2))". The parties are agreed that he need not be, and will not become, a High Court judge. He is to be appointed by the President acting in accordance with the advice of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission (s. 42(1)). This is the body which has the duty under the Constitution of advising the President on the appointment of judges other than the Chief Justice, and the EOA provides that the relevant provisions of the Constitution, including those pertaining to tenure and removal, shall apply to the chairman. The chairman is entitled to receive the same salary and allowances as a judge of the High Court, chargeable on the Consolidated Fund, and his conditions of service, other than those as to pension, shall also be the same (s. 43(1), (2)). His salary, remuneration, allowances and other conditions of service may not be altered to his disadvantage during his tenure of office (s. 43(5)). The office is pensionable (s. 43(6)). - The lay assessors are to be appointed by the President as persons appearing to him to be qualified by virtue of their knowledge of or experience in law, religion, race relations, gender affairs, employment issues, education, culture, economics, social welfare or human rights, having served in those fields or a combination of them for at least ten years (s. 42(3)). They hold office for a renewable term of not less than three years, determined by the President (s. 42(5)). Their appointment may be terminated by the President on the recommendation of the chairman, on any one of several specified grounds (s. 42(7)). Their terms of service are to be prescribed by the President (s. 43(3)) and they are to be paid such salary and allowances as may be recommended by the Salaries Review Commission and approved by the minister responsible for finance (s. 43(4)). Their salary, remuneration, allowances and conditions of service may not be altered to their disadvantage during their tenure of office (s. 43(5)). Their office is pensionable (s. 43(6)). - Chapter I of the Constitution, comprising sections 4-14, is concerned with the recognition and protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. Reference has already been made to section 4, in which certain such rights and freedoms are guaranteed "without discrimination by reason of race, origin, colour, religion or sex". In attacking the government's failure to implement the Act, the appellants have invoked the right of the individual to the protection of the law (s. 4(b)), the right of the individual to equality of treatment from any public authority in the exercise of any functions (s. 4(d)) and the right to procedural protection of these rights (s. 5(2)(h)). But their main contention is that the EOA is not inconsistent with the Constitution and the government has failed in its public duty by failing to implement an Act duly passed and brought into force. The Attorney General for his part contends that the EOA does infringe the rights of the individual under sections 4 and 5 and so required (but did not obtain) the enhanced parliamentary majority stipulated by section 13. - By section 13, an Act may expressly declare that it shall have effect even though inconsistent with sections 4 and 5 and, if any Act does so declare, it shall have effect accordingly unless it is shown not to be reasonably justifiable in a society that has a proper respect for the rights and freedoms of the individual. Such an Act is one the Bill for which has been passed by both Houses of Parliament and at the final vote thereon in each House has been supported by the votes of not less than three-fifths of all the members of that House. The fatal flaw of the EOA, as the Attorney General argues, is that it contained no such declaration and obtained no such majority. The 2007 Bill, mentioned in paragraph 3 above, contains such a declaration in clause 3, and the government accepts the need for a final three-fifths' majority of the votes in each House. - Section 14 makes provision for enforcement of the Chapter 1 rights. It provides in subsection (1) that if any person alleges that any of the provisions of the chapter has been, is being or is likely to be contravened in relation to him, then "without prejudice to any other action with respect to the same matter which is lawfully available, that person may apply to the High Court for redress by way of originating motion". This provision is supplemented by subsection (4): where "in any proceedings in any court other than the High Court or the Court of Appeal" any arguable question arises as to the contravention of any of the provisions of Chapter 1, the person presiding in that court may and, if any party to the proceedings so requests, must refer the question to the High Court. By subsection (2) the High Court has original jurisdiction to decide any application made under subsection (1) and decide any question referred under subsection (4). Thus a person complaining against the state of discrimination on a proscribed ground in the enjoyment of a right guaranteed by section 4 or 5 of the Constitution can proceed by ordinary action in the High Court, or by way of constitutional motion in the High Court (if appropriate) under section 14(1), or on the reference of another court to the High Court under section 14(4). Under the EOA such discrimination could be the subject of a complaint to the Commission and, if referred with the complainant's consent to the Tribunal, of decision by the Tribunal. A complaint of discrimination against a party other than the state or on a ground not covered in section 4 of the Constitution can only be pursued, through the Commission, on a reference to the Tribunal. - Chapter 7 of the Constitution is devoted to the Judicature. There is to be a Supreme Court comprising the High Court and the Court of Appeal (s. 99). The High Court and the Court of Appeal are to be superior courts of record, having all the powers of such a court (ss. 100(2), 101(2)). The judges of the High Court and the Court of Appeal are to be appointed by the President acting in accordance with the advice of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission (s. 104(1)). "Judge" is defined in section 3 of the Constitution to include "the Chief Justice, a Judge of Appeal and a Puisne Judge". A judge, other than a temporary judge, holds office in accordance with sections 136 and 137 (s. 106(1)). The broad effect of those sections is to give a judge security of tenure until the prescribed retirement age, to protect the judge against disadvantageous changes in his salary, allowances and conditions of service during his tenure of office and to permit his removal from office only for inability to perform the functions of his office (whether arising from infirmity of mind or body or any other cause) or misbehaviour, and only then when removal is recommended by both an independent tribunal and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. No office of judge may be abolished while there is a substantive holder of that office (s. 106(2)). In addition to advising the President on the appointment of High Court judges and justices of appeal, the Judicial and Legal Service Commission has power under section 111 to appoint certain legal officers, including magistrates. - Section 53 provides that the Constitution may not be altered except in accordance with the provisions of section 54. That section provides that Parliament may, subject to the provisions of the section, alter (an expression widely defined in subsection (6)) any of the provisions of the Constitution. But in so far as it alters sections 101, 104, 106, 136 and 137 mentioned above, a Bill for an Act under this section may not be passed by Parliament unless at the final vote thereon in each House it is supported by the votes of not less than two-thirds of all the members of each House. Thus the provisions of the Constitution relating to the appointment, tenure and removal of High Court judges are entrenched by the need for a substantial parliamentary majority to alter them. Hinds v The Queen - The central question in the present appeal is whether the provisions of the EOA which establish the Tribunal are inconsistent with the Constitution. To answer that question both parties referred to Hinds v The Queen AC 195, a decision of this Board in which Lord Diplock gave the judgment of the majority (himself, Lord Simon of Glaisdale and Lord Edmund-Davies). - Hinds concerned the Gun Court Act 1974, a Jamaican statute which re-allocated responsibility for trying firearms offences between three differently constituted court divisions, a Circuit Court Division, a Resident Magistrate's Division and a Full Court Division. The appellants had all been convicted in the Resident Magistrate's Division, to which there was held to be no constitutional objection, as there was not to the Circuit Court Division. But the majority thought it necessary to their decision (pp 210D, 211A) to review the constitutionality of the Full Court Division. This Division, which had never sat (p 231G), was to be composed of three resident magistrates sitting together, and its jurisdiction extended to all non-capital offences previously triable only on indictment before a Supreme Court judge exercising the jurisdiction of a Circuit Court of the Supreme Court, if the offender was a person who had been in unlawful possession of a firearm. The majority held the Gun Court Act to be unconstitutional to the extent that it purported to confer on persons qualified and appointed as resident magistrates a jurisdiction which under Chapter VII of the Constitution of Jamaica was exercisable only by persons qualified and appointed as judges of the Supreme Court. - In an attractive argument for the appellants, Mr Clayton QC submitted that Hinds does not govern the present case. He pointed out that the Gun Court Act related to the trial of serious crime, and involved the taking away from the Supreme Court and the allocation to magistrates, subordinate judicial officers not protected by the constitutional guarantees applicable to Supreme Court judges, of a jurisdiction previously exercisable only by the latter. These distinctions are clearly valid. The EOA is directed to the redress of civil wrongs. The focus of the Act is on the creation of new rights. No jurisdiction is taken away from the High Court, save perhaps at the choice and with the consent of the complainant. The present case is not on all fours with Hinds. - The Attorney General's counter-argument rested on more general observations made by Lord Diplock in the course of his judgment, in which at the outset (p 210B) he described the issues raised as of "outstanding public importance". The Board heard extensive argument over seven days. - Lord Diplock observed (p 210C) that a question of constitutional validity cannot be resolved by considering the specific provisions at issue in a particular case, and he pointed out (pp 211H – 212B) that constitutions differ fundamentally from ordinary legislation passed by the parliament of a sovereign state: "They embody what is in substance an agreement reached between representatives of the various shades of political opinion in the state as to the structure of the organs of government through which the plenitude of the sovereign power of the state is to be exercised in future." Because constitutions such as that of Jamaica (or Trinidad and Tobago) are (p 212C) evolutionary, not revolutionary, and provide for continuity of government, the practice in drafting constitutions is to leave much to implication. - At page 213A of his judgment Lord Diplock made a statement from which both parties to this appeal sought to derive support: "The Chapter dealing with the judicature invariably contains provisions dealing with the method of appointment and security of tenure of the members of the judiciary which are designed to assure to them a degree of independence from the other two branches of government. It may, as in the case of the Constitution of Ceylon, contain nothing more. To the extent to which the Constitution itself is silent as to the distribution of the plenitude of judicial power between various courts it is implicit that it shall continue to be distributed between and exercised by the courts that were already in existence when the new Constitution came into force; but the legislature, in the exercise of its power to make laws for the 'peace, order and good government' of the state, may provide for the establishment of new courts and for the transfer to them of the whole or part of the jurisdiction previously exercisable by an existing court. What, however, is implicit in the very structure of a Constitution on the Westminster model is that judicial power, however it be distributed from time to time between various courts, is to continue to be vested in persons appointed to hold judicial office in the manner and on the terms laid down in the Chapter dealing with the judicature, even though this is not expressly stated in the Constitution: Liyanage v The Queen 1 AC 259, 287-288." - Lord Diplock referred (p 213D) to the provisions of human rights chapters commonly found in constitutions such as those of Jamaica (and Trinidad and Tobago), acknowledging that until amended by whatever special procedure is laid down for the purpose such provisions impose a fetter upon the exercise by the legislature, the executive and the judiciary of the plenitude of their respective powers. He added (p 213G): "Any express provision in the constitution for the appointment or security of tenure of judges of that court will apply to all individual judges subsequently appointed to exercise an analogous jurisdiction, whatever other name may be given to the 'court' in which they sit: Attorney-General for Ontario v Attorney-General for Canada AC 750." - Two further passages in Lord Diplock's judgment merit citation. In the first (p 214A) he said: "Where, under a constitution on the Westminster model, a law is made by the Parliament which purports to confer jurisdiction upon a court described by a new name, the question whether the law conflicts with the provisions of the constitution dealing with the exercise of the judicial power does not depend upon the label (in the instant case 'The Gun Court') which the Parliament attaches to the judges when exercising the jurisdiction conferred upon them by the law whose constitutionality is impugned. It is the substance of the law that must be regarded, not the form. What is the nature of the jurisdiction to be exercised by the judges who are to compose the court to which the new label is attached? Does the method of their appointment and the security of their tenure conform to the requirements of the constitution applicable to judges who, at the time the constitution came into force, exercised jurisdiction of that nature?: Attorney-General for Australia v The Queen AC 288, 309-310." Lord Diplock then (p 214D) considered constitutional entrenchment, and said: "The purpose served by this machinery for 'entrenchment' is to ensure that those provisions which were regarded as important safeguards by the political parties in Jamaica, minority and majority alike, who took part in the negotiations which led up to the constitution, should not be altered without mature consideration by the Parliament and the consent of a larger proportion of its members than the bare majority required for ordinary laws. So in deciding whether any provisions of a law passed by the Parliament of Jamaica as an ordinary law are inconsistent with the Constitution of Jamaica, neither the courts of Jamaica nor their Lordships' Board are concerned with the propriety or expediency of the law impugned. They are concerned solely with whether those provisions, however reasonable and expedient, are of such a character that they conflict with an entrenched provision of the Constitution and so can be validly passed only after the Constitution has been amended by the method laid down by it for altering that entrenched provision." - The vice which the majority found in the Full Court Division was succinctly summarised by Lord Diplock at page 221G: "But more important, for this is the substance of the matter, the individual citizen could be deprived of the safeguard, which the makers of the Constitution regarded as necessary, of having important questions affecting his civil or criminal responsibilities determined by a court, however named, composed of judges whose independence from all local pressure by Parliament or by the executive was guaranteed by a security of tenure more absolute than that provided by the Constitution for judges of inferior courts." Lord Diplock acknowledged (p 222B) that the answer to a constitutional challenge of this kind might not be clear-cut: "As with so many questions arising under constitutions on the Westminster model, the question whether the jurisdiction vested in the new court is wide enough to constitute so significant a part of the jurisdiction that is characteristic of a Supreme Court as to fall within the constitutional prohibition is one of degree." Thus difficult cases will call for an exercise of informed judgment. - The Board, like the courts of Trinidad and Tobago, is not concerned with the propriety and expediency of the EOA, but only with its constitutionality. The appellants are right that the EOA, unlike the Gun Court Act, creates new rights, not the subject of any existing jurisdiction. But the right of one is the liability and obligation of another, and the question is whether, consistently with the Constitution and without the imprimatur of an enhanced parliamentary majority, these rights, liabilities and obligations can be the subject of adjudication by the Tribunal established by the EOA. In my opinion there are compelling reasons why they cannot. - Section 41(1) of the EOA purports to establish the Tribunal as a superior court of record vested with all the powers conferred on it by the Act and all the powers inherent in such a court. The powers conferred by the Act, as noted above, are extensive and potentially intrusive. Its inherent powers, denied to courts not of record, include a power to imprison for contempt, a potentially draconian power however rarely exercised in practice. Yet the Constitution provides for only two superior courts of record, the High Court and the Court of Appeal, the members of each of which enjoy the strong entrenched protection of their tenure, remuneration and conditions of service which the Constitution affords. There is nothing in the Constitution to preclude the creation of a new superior court of record, but it is implicit in this constitutional scheme that the members of any such court will enjoy the measure of entrenched protection enjoyed by judges of the High Court and justices of appeal. - The chairman of the Tribunal, as is accepted, does not enjoy such protection. Although his status is equal to that of a High Court judge (s. 41(2)), he is appointed in the same way (s. 42(1)) and the EOA gives him the same tenure and other rights as a High Court judge, these terms may be abrogated or his office abolished by legislation enacted on a simple parliamentary majority. Thus he is potentially susceptible to pressure as a judge of the High Court or a justice of appeal is not, and there would be nothing unconstitutional in such legislation if (as the appellants contend) the EOA does not vary any provision of the Constitution. - It is in my opinion evident from the terms of the EOA, contrary to the views expressed by the courts below, that the lay assessors are advisers to the chairman of the Tribunal and are not themselves decision-makers. But they are members of the Tribunal (s. 41(2)), at least one of them must take part in any exercise of the Tribunal's jurisdiction and powers (s. 44(1)) and they have the opportunity to influence the chairman's decision, even perhaps on questions of law (s. 42(3)). Thus they may advise on liability, on the award of compensation (there being no statutory limit on the compensation which the Tribunal may award) and on the committal or fining of a contemnor. Yet the lay assessors are appointed by the President, no doubt acting on the advice of the appropriate minister (s. 42(3)), and not according to the procedure laid down for the appointment of judges. They do not enjoy the status, remuneration or tenure of judges. Their office enjoys no constitutional entrenchment. I can readily appreciate the benefit to a legally-qualified chairman of outside advice born of practical experience when difficult and sensitive decisions pertaining to discrimination have to be made. But nothing in the Constitution contemplates that persons in the position of the lay assessors under the EOA may be members of a superior court of record. - Lord Diplock (see para 19 above) thought it implicit in a constitution such as that of Trinidad and Tobago that judicial power, however distributed from time to time, should continue to be vested in persons appointed to hold judicial office in the manner and on the terms laid down in the chapter of the constitution dealing with the judicature. He may in that passage have been directing his mind to a jurisdiction which already existed. But he considered (see para 20 above) that the rule should apply to all individual judges subsequently appointed to exercise "an analogous jurisdiction, whatever other name may be given to the 'court' in which they sit". While the jurisdiction conferred on the Tribunal is new in its application to private law relationships and its application to disability, this jurisdiction is clearly analogous to that which, under the Constitution, is the exclusive preserve of the High Court. In the first passage of Lord Diplock's judgment quoted in paragraph 21 above, he concludes by posing two questions. Both may properly be posed in the present case. The answer to the first is that the nature of the jurisdiction of the Tribunal resembles but extends the anti-discrimination jurisdiction exercised by the High Court under the Constitution. The answer to the second question is no: the method of appointment and security of tenure of the members of the Tribunal do not conform to the requirements of the Constitution applicable to judges who, at the time the Constitution came into force, exercised jurisdiction of that nature. The vice which Lord Diplock identified in the Gun Court Act (see the passage at p 221G, quoted in para 22 above) exists here also. - To the extent that the answer to the present problem is doubtful, weight should be given to the judgment of the Trinidad and Tobago courts. A judge sitting in a local constitutional environment, in which he has grown up and with which he is familiar, is likely to have a surer sense of what falls within the purview of the Constitution and what falls beyond than a court sitting many miles away. For this reason alone, in the absence of manifest error, the Board should be slow to disturb the unanimous conclusion of the local courts on a question of this kind, involving as it does a question of judgment and degree. - I appreciate that a majority of the Board take a different view. But no assistance is in my opinion gained from considering what could or could not be done in the United Kingdom, which unlike Trinidad and Tobago has no entrenched constitution. Nor do I think it safe to draw analogies with the Tax Appeal Board, on the constitutionality of which the courts below expressed no opinion. - The judge and the Court of Appeal based their finding of unconstitutionality on reasoning to the effect set out above. But they also considered other points, of which brief mention should be made. - Both the judge (paras 43-47 of his judgment) and the Court of Appeal (paras 48-53 of Archie JA's judgment) attached weight to the fact that the chairman of the Tribunal was to be appointed by the President in accordance with the advice of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission. It was pointed out, quite correctly, that while the Constitution conferred power on this Commission to advise on the appointment of judges and to appoint to certain other legal offices, it conferred no power to advise on the appointment of those who were not judges. This, although true, is immaterial. The function imposed on the Commission under the EOA is not a constitutional function, but nor is it of itself unconstitutional. It is not of itself unconstitutional to confer an extra-constitutional power on a constitutional body. - The judge (paras 41-42) and the Court of Appeal (paras 54-55) were concerned at the power to fine conferred on the Tribunal, regarding this as a legislative power, although the Court of Appeal would have been willing to sever this provision from the Act had it been the only defect. In argument before the Board it was suggested that the power could only refer to contempt, and might even have been a drafting error. The latter explanation would be easier to accept if there were not three references to fines in the EOA (subsections (1), (2) and (6) of section 48), the last subsection being specifically directed to the disposal of fines received. But, as already noticed, the power to fine for contempt is in any event a power inherent in a superior court of record. The power to fine is relevant to the constitutionality of the Tribunal, but does not of itself render the Tribunal unconstitutional. If these references were the only defect in the EOA, I would in any event agree that they could be severed. - Sections 17 and 18 of the EOA prohibit discrimination in the supply of goods and services and accommodation. It was argued for the Attorney General below that this restricted an individual's rights, guaranteed by section 4(a) of the Constitution, to enjoyment of property and not to be deprived of it without due process, and so required a special parliamentary majority. The appellants replied that the rights protected by the Constitution are not absolute, that reasonable and proportionate qualifications of a protected right are not inconsistent with the Constitution, and that the qualification in the EOA, directed to promoting the aim of non-discrimination also embodied in the Constitution, was reasonable and proportionate. The judge considered the issue but declined to pronounce on it (paras 48-51). The Court of Appeal concluded that whether or not the qualification of the protected right was reasonable and proportionate an enhanced parliamentary majority was called for (paras 46-47). Given my overall conclusion it is unnecessary for me, and perhaps undesirable, to rule definitively on this point. I would, however, accept that the rights protected by section 4 are not, at least in most instances, absolute. And reading the recitals to the Constitution, with their emphasis on human dignity and equality, I would need some persuasion that sections 17 and 18 infringe any right which the Constitution protects. - A somewhat similar point was made on section 7(1) of the EOA which prohibits a person otherwise than in private from doing "any act which — (a) is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of persons; (b) is done because of the gender, race, ethnicity, origin or religion of the other person or of some or all of the persons in the group; and (c) which is done with the intention of inciting gender, racial or religious hatred." The Attorney General submitted below that this subsection restricted freedom of thought and expression protected by section 4(i) of the Constitution and so required an enhanced parliamentary majority. The appellants drew attention to the Sedition Act, which had been in force when the Constitution was adopted and so enjoyed protection under section 6 of the Constitution as an existing law. By sections 3 and 4 of the Sedition Act it was an offence (among other things) to engender or promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between one or more sections of the community on the one hand and any other section or sections of the community on the other. Thus section 7, the appellants contended, did little or nothing to extend the law. The judge did not decide this point but because of what he regarded as the vagueness of section 7 saw much force in the Attorney General's argument that it infringed freedom of expression (paras 52-54). The Court of Appeal held that section 7 altered the law, and that it derogated from the right to freedom of thought and expression to an extent to which the Sedition Act did not derogate, but only in relation to gender (paras 34-39). It therefore held that section 7 was not invalidated, but should be construed as if the reference to gender were absent. It is again unnecessary for me, and perhaps undesirable, to express a concluded opinion. But for reasons similar to those given in paragraph 33 above I would be slow to hold that section 7 is invalid even to the limited extent held by the Court of Appeal. - The EOA provides, in section 3, that "'sex' does not include sexual preference or orientation". The judge, noting that homosexual conduct and buggery remained serious criminal offences in Trinidad and Tobago, found that this exclusion was not unconstitutional (paras 64-65). The Court of Appeal held it was not a crime to have a homosexual or lesbian orientation, and considered that the exclusion was unjustified and unconstitutional (paras 40-45. It is not necessary for me to decide this point. But I would not understand "sex" in section 4 of the Constitution to embrace sexual preference or orientation, and it is not obvious why a prohibition framed in less comprehensive terms than might be thought appropriate elsewhere should be thought to infringe the Constitution. - The courts below considered whether Part VIII of the EOA, relating to the Tribunal, could be severed from the rest of the Act. The judge rejected this possibility, holding that without the Tribunal the Act would be an empty and unworkable piece of legislation (paras 67-70). The Court of Appeal agreed: if the offending provisions were excised, what remained would be a shell gutted of any meaning or effectiveness (para 56). I agree. The test of severability is that propounded by the Board in Attorney-General for Alberta v Attorney-General for Canada AC 503, 518, applied in Hinds (pp 228-230): can it be assumed that the legislature would have enacted what survives without enacting the part that is held to be unconstitutional? I would not for my part disturb the judgment of the Court of Appeal on this point. - I would dismiss the appeal. A majority of the Board hold otherwise, and the appeal will accordingly be allowed. Submissions on the form of the order (if this cannot be agreed) and on costs are invited in writing within 28 days. In closing, the Board would respectfully invite consideration by the Trinidad and Tobago authorities of the procedure to be adopted where a duly enacted statute is believed by the government of the day to be unconstitutional. The legislation may in such circumstances be repealed, or a procedure devised to seek the opinion of the court. It is not a desirable practice to leave the statute unimplemented until action is brought against the government by a private complainant seeking an order against the government to implement the statute after a delay of some years. JUDGMENT OF THE BOARD PREPARED BY BARONESS HALE OF RICHMOND - The relevant provisions of the Equal Opportunity Act 2000 ("the EOA") and of the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago, together with citations from the case of Hinds v The Queen AC 195 are set out in the opinion of Lord Bingham of Cornhill. As he explains, the most important issue in this case is whether the creation of the Equal Opportunities Tribunal ("the Tribunal") by the EOA, an ordinary Act of Parliament, is unconstitutional and thus void by virtue of section 2 of the Constitution. The creation of the Tribunal is not inconsistent with any express provision in the Constitution, whether entrenched under section 54(2) or (3) or capable of amendment under section 54(1). Rather, it is suggested that the constitution of the Tribunal, and some of its powers, are inconsistent with the fundamental principle of the separation of powers. It is implicit in all Constitutions on the Westminster model that the judicial power of the state be exercised by a judiciary whose "independence from all local pressure by Parliament or by the executive" is guaranteed in the manner contemplated by the Constitution in question: see Hinds v The Queen AC 195, 221. - But that proposition does not tell us how this particular Constitution contemplated that the independence of the holders of this particular judicial power should be protected. Section 99 of the Constitution provides that "there shall be … a High Court of Justice … and a Court of Appeal with such jurisdiction and powers as are conferred on those Courts respectively by this Constitution or any other law". Section 99 is not itself entrenched, nor is section 100, which provides who shall be the Judges of the High Court and that it shall be a superior court of record. Sections 104 to 107, and sections 136 and 137, which deal with the appointment, terms of office and removal of High Court and other senior Judges, are entrenched and can only be altered with the consent of two thirds of the members of each House of Parliament: see section 54(2). - Clearly, however, the Constitution does not contemplate that only the High Court, staffed by Judges enjoying the protection that High Court Judges enjoy, shall exercise the judicial power of the state. Section 99 does not say this. Section 111 establishes the Judicial and Legal Service Commission to appoint, remove and exercise disciplinary control over the officers to which that section applies. These are not listed in the Constitution but in the Judicial and Legal Service Act and other legislation (for example, section 4(2) of the Tax Appeal Board Act). The judicial offices listed in the second schedule to the Judicial and Legal Service Act include Chief Magistrate, Senior Magistrate, and Magistrate. These officers' judicial powers have their limits but nevertheless enable them to impose substantial terms of imprisonment. - The question, therefore, is whether it is implicit in the Constitution that the powers to be exercised by the Tribunal can only be exercised by people enjoying exactly the same protection as High Court judges. As Lord Diplock put it in Hinds, at 222, "the question whether the jurisdiction vested in the new court is wide enough to constitute so significant a part of the jurisdiction that is characteristic of a Supreme Court as to fall within the constitutional prohibition is one of degree". However, even if the answer to that question is "no", there is still the question whether the protection given to the Tribunal in this case is sufficient. - In considering these questions, as with most constitutional questions, there is a balance to be struck. On the one hand, security of tenure and emoluments has been seen, since at least the Act of Settlement of 1701, as an important guarantee of the independence of the judiciary. (Indeed, the fact that the colonial judges did not enjoy such security was one of the grievances of the American colonies before independence.) On the other hand, the demands upon the legal system are increasing all the time and cannot all be met by judges of the High Court. It is not just that the volume of traditional areas of work has grown. No legal system can stay set in stone as it always has been. It has to move and develop with the times. The complexity of the modern world has seen the emergence of new problems which need new solutions. In the United Kingdom, for example, specialist jurisdictions have been set up to cater, not only for the myriad of disputes which may arise between citizen and state, but also for some disputes between private persons. The most important examples are disputes between employer and employee and between landlord and tenant, where a different way of doing justice is thought necessary because of the perceived imbalance in power and resources between the parties. It is common for such jurisdictions to include people who are not lawyers but have relevant experience or expertise or who are in some sense representative of each "side" in the dispute. - The problems addressed by the EOA are a case in point. Since the Second World War, it has been common for human rights instruments and Constitutions to protect the citizen against discrimination by the state on grounds such as race or sex. In a separate and more recent development, ordinary statute law has prohibited discrimination on similar grounds by the suppliers of goods, facilities, services, accommodation, education and employment. This was controversial at first, but is now a well accepted way of countering historic prejudice against particular groups or sections of society and helping to achieve greater equality of opportunity and participation in society for all. It is a common feature of such laws that they try to proceed by persuasion and agreement rather than by coercion. They tend therefore to have Commissions charged with both general duties to work towards the elimination of discrimination and specific duties to receive and investigate individual complaints. They emphasise the importance of conciliation rather than adjudication. But in the last resort adjudication is available, often by a specialist body. - The need for such measures in the context of the history and society of Trinidad and Tobago is vividly explained by Dr John La Guerre in his Reservations to the 1990 Report of the Constitution Commission (1987). The Commission agreed in principle with the need for an Equal Opportunity Commission but not for including such a body in the Constitution (Report, 1990, para 422). The matter was taken up by the Law Commission, which published a Working Paper on Equal Opportunity Legislation in 1996. This examined models elsewhere in the common law world. It recommended the establishment of an Equal Opportunities Commission with wide powers to promote the eradication of discrimination, conduct research and educational programmes, as well as to receive, investigate and conciliate individual complaints. The Law Commission discussed whether adjudication should be a function of the Commission, or a body within the Commission, or relegated to the High Court. It observed: "In the context of the present state of the administration of justice in Trinidad and Tobago, it is always desirable to devise mechanisms to keep matters from cluttering the formal court system. Equally desirable is the need to give the Commission 'teeth'." The Board is familiar with some of the problems which may have led the Commission to say what it did: see, for example, Boodhoo v Attorney General for Trinidad and Tobago UKPC 17. The Commission recommended that a Tribunal be set up within the Equal Opportunities Commission and that at least one member of the Commission should possess the legal qualifications of a Judge of the High Court (page 40, recommendation 14). The problem with this, as Geoffrey Robertson QC explained in an advice on the 1998 Equal Opportunities Bill, was that the Commission was to be a party to all proceedings and could not be judge in its own cause. The new Tribunal therefore had to be entirely independent of the Commission. The decision could have been taken to increase the jurisdiction of the High Court to deal with these new claims, but for very understandable and sensible reasons it was thought that a new and specialist body would be preferable. - It is a strong thing indeed to rule that legislation passed by a democratic Parliament establishing a new type of judicial body to adjudicate upon a new body of law is unconstitutional. The constitutionality of a parliamentary enactment is presumed unless it is shown to be unconstitutional and the burden on a party seeking to prove invalidity is a heavy one: see Grant v The Queen 1 AC 1, para 15, citing Mootoo v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago 1 WLR 1334, 1338-1339. On the other hand, the Constitution itself must be given a broad and purposive construction: see Minister of Home Affairs v Fisher AC 319, 328. - Smith J, who heard this case at first instance, held the Act unconstitutional in this respect for two reasons. First, "that the provisions of the Act as they affected the status of the lay assessors (and to a much lesser extent, the Chairman) are contrary to the principle of the separation of powers" (para 34 of his judgment). Second, "that the attempt to vest concurrent jurisdiction in the tribunal to deal with discrimination by the State is an attempt to whittle away a significant jurisdiction of the High Court" (para 39 of his judgment). Archie JA, who gave judgment in the Court of Appeal, accepted that there could be new jurisdictions created whose members did not enjoy the same degree of protection as High Court judges. He gave the example of the Tax Appeal Board, "a well-respected court with recognized specialist expertise", whose members are appointed in a similar manner to those of this Tribunal (para 31 of his judgment). In his view the structure was not incapable of giving a fair hearing in accordance with section 5(2)(e) of the Constitution. "However, it does derogate from the jurisdiction of the High Court both generally because of the unlimited potential scope of its jurisdiction and specifically in relation to the jurisdiction currently enjoyed in respect of disputes between individuals and the State" (para 32). Hence it was unconstitutional. - However, Mr Clayton QC, for the appellants, has convincingly demonstrated that this new jurisdiction does not significantly derogate from the existing jurisdiction of the High Court. There are three main reasons for this. First, it remains open to a person who claims that his or her constitutional rights under section 4 of the Constitution have been violated by discrimination by the state to bring that case before the High Court, either by writ or by constitutional motion. The Tribunal can only hear and determine complaints referred to it by the Commission (EOA, section 41(4)). The Commission cannot refer a complaint under the EOA to the Tribunal unless the complainant consents (EOA, section 39(2)). It cannot sensibly be argued that for a complainant to choose to bring her own case in the High Court rather than to rely upon the Commission to take it before the Tribunal is the sort of abuse of process at which the decision of the Board in Jaroo v Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago UKPC 5, 1 AC 871, was aimed. Secondly, under section 14(4) of the Constitution, the Tribunal may refer to the High Court any question of contravention of the rights in sections 4 or 5 of the Constitution and must do so if a party to proceedings before the Tribunal so requests, unless the raising of the question is merely frivolous or vexatious. The respondent to any complaint before the Tribunal could therefore have the matter referred to the High Court. Thirdly, the rights and obligations laid down in the EOA are much more specific and clearly defined than those in the Constitution. There is a clear definition of discrimination (ss 4 and 5) and of the circumstances in which an employer, an educational establishment, or a provider of goods facilities and services or accommodation shall not discriminate, along with some defined exceptions and exclusions (Parts III, IV and V). The body of law which the Tribunal will be administering may on occasions overlap with section 4 of the Constitution but in most cases it will not. - Hence this case is a long way away from Hinds. The EOA is not taking away an existing jurisdiction of the High Court in an area of jurisdiction which has always been part of the core jurisdiction of a Supreme Court. It is not removing the trial of very serious crimes from the High Court to a bench of Magistrates. It is not removing the trial of existing constitutional rights from the High Court except with the consent of both parties. This case is also a long way away from the recent decision of the Board in Independent Jamaica Council for Human Rights (1998) Ltd v Marshall-Burnett UKPC 3, 2 AC 356. The EOA is not setting up a new court with jurisdiction to hear and determine appeals from the Court of Appeal of Trinidad and Tobago and thus to overturn the decisions of the constitutionally protected judiciary. The Tribunal will be subordinate to that judiciary. The EOA provides for a right of appeal from the Tribunal to the Court of Appeal: section 50(2). Subordinating new jurisdictions to the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts of appeal has been regarded as an important safeguard of their independence since the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1958. - The courts below do not appear to have attached much importance to the provision that the Tribunal "shall be a superior court of record" (section 41(1)) although Archie JA does refer to "the unlimited potential scope of its jurisdiction" (para 32). Jowitt's Dictionary of English Law (2nd edition, 1977, by John Burke, p 493) provides a helpful explanation of what is generally meant by a superior court of record: "Courts are of two principal classes – of record and not of record. A court of record is one whereof the acts and judicial proceedings are enrolled for a perpetual memory and testimony, and which has the power to fine and imprison for contempt of its authority. . . Courts are also divided into superior and inferior, superior courts being those which are not subject to the control of any other courts, except by way of appeal." Thus the decisions of the Tribunal, as a superior court, would not be subject to judicial review, unlike the decisions of inferior courts of record such as the English county courts (although these days appeal is regarded as the more appropriate method of challenge). And the Tribunal would be able to punish for contempt of its authority, as can the English county courts. But the EOA clearly does not contemplate that the Tribunal should have an unlimited or inherent jurisdiction. Its jurisdiction is limited by section 41(4), which provides: "The Tribunal shall have jurisdiction – (a) to hear and determine complaints referred to it by the Commission; (b) to require persons to attend before it for the purpose of giving evidence and producing documents; and (c) to make such declarations, orders and awards of compensation as it thinks fit." The powers in section 41(4)(b) and (c) are clearly intended to be used, and used only, in connection with the jurisdiction conferred by section 41(4)(a). If there were any doubt about that, these paragraphs should be interpreted so as to be in conformity with the Constitution. Their scope is in any event limited by the nature of the subject matter: they are concerned only with remedying discrimination as defined by the EOA in the circumstances prescribed by the EOA. - This is definitely not "part of the jurisdiction that is characteristic of a Supreme Court". The subject matter, as already mentioned, was not traditionally the subject of adjudication at all, let alone by a Supreme Court. For what it may be worth, the equivalent discrimination jurisdiction in the United Kingdom is exercised either by the county courts or, in employment cases, by employment tribunals. There have always been courts of record with power to fine and commit for contempt which do not have the status and jurisdiction of a Supreme Court. The reality these days is that the right of appeal, rather than judicial review, is the way of correcting the errors of any court, inferior or superior. That is made available by section 50(2). - Hence the Board would not accept that this new jurisdiction is so characteristic of a Supreme Court that it is implicit in this, or any other Constitution on the Westminster model, that it must be exercised by a judiciary enjoying exactly the same protection as a High Court Judge. The question remains whether the protection enjoyed by the Tribunal is sufficient to afford the necessary degree of independence of the legislature and executive. - The Chairman of the Tribunal is to be a Judge of equal status to that of a High Court Judge: section 41(2). He or she is appointed in the same way as a High Court Judge and enjoys the same tenure and protection from removal: section 42(1) and (2). The only difference in their terms of office is that the Act does not guarantee the same pension rights. The more significant difference is that these provisions are not entrenched and could be repealed or amended by an ordinary Act of Parliament. However, this is true of all the other judicial officers whose status is not covered by the entrenched provisions of the Constitution. This includes the members of the "well-respected" Tax Appeal Board, also constituted under an ordinary Act of Parliament, who might be thought to exercise a jurisdiction where independence of government was of particular importance. The Tribunal Chairman is given a status and terms and conditions of office which are far superior to those of a Magistrate. It is very difficult to say that they are not a sufficient guarantee of his or her independence of local pressure. - The lay assessors are much less well protected. Their status is not unlike that of the ordinary members of the Tax Appeal Board. They are not appointed by or on the advice of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission. They serve for terms of not less than three years, but are eligible for reappointment. And their appointments may be terminated for cause by the President on the recommendation of the Chairman. But their position in the Tribunal is not such as seriously to call in question its independence. Their role is to assist the Chairman in arriving at a decision: section 42(4). It is comparable to that provided for in section 70 of the Supreme Court Act 1981 in England and Wales and section 44(1) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, which sets up a Supreme Court for the United Kingdom to replace the appellate committee of the House of Lords: "If the Supreme Court thinks it expedient in any proceedings, it may hear and dispose of the proceedings wholly or partly with the assistance of one or more specially qualified advisers appointed by it." These are, of course, ad hoc appointments enjoying much less protection than do the lay-assessors on the Tribunal. But their role is the same: to assist the court in hearing and disposing of the proceedings. The decision remains that of the court. Section 44(7) of the EOA makes it clear that "The decision of the Tribunal in any proceedings shall be made by the Chairman and shall be delivered by him". - There is, of course, the difference that the lay-assessors are part of the Tribunal and that the Chairman has to sit with at least one of them: section 44(1). The Chairman is not entitled to choose to sit alone without the benefit of lay advice. But that does not alter the essential character of the role. It is difficult to see how the Chairman's independence is compromised by having to have the benefit of the advice of a suitably qualified person who has the protection of an appointment of at least three years' duration which can only be prematurely determined for cause (as it happens, remarkably similar to the protection enjoyed by Recorders of the Crown Court in England and Wales). - Important though the role of the Tribunal is, in the Board's view it is no more important or deserving of special protection than the role of the Tax Appeal Board, which enjoys the same status as a superior court of record, has a Chairman and Vice-Chairman whose status is very similar to that of the Chairman of this Tribunal, and whose ordinary members' status is very similar to that of the lay-assessors on this Tribunal, although the latter have a more subordinate role within the proceedings. The Board could not find this Tribunal unconstitutional without casting doubt on the constitutionality of the Tax Appeal Board and we would be most reluctant to do this. - In summary, therefore, the Tribunal is given a significant new jurisdiction, but (a) this has no equivalent in the existing Constitution, (b) there is nothing expressed in the Constitution to preclude its creation, (c) the Constitution expressly contemplates lesser judicial officers to fulfil unspecified functions, and (d) there is nothing in the limited and specialised jurisdiction given to the Tribunal which is so characteristic of the jurisdiction of a Supreme Court as to preclude its being given to a different body. The Board will therefore allow this appeal on this, the most important point. - This is not, of course, to say that it would not be desirable for the Tribunal to enjoy exactly the same protection as the High Court judges. But the way to produce this would not be the way proposed under the Equal Opportunity Bill 2007. This contains, in clause 3, the declaration contemplated by section 13 of the Constitution that "This Act shall have effect even though inconsistent with sections 4 and 5 of the Constitution". (This at once raises the question whether there is anything in the Bill or the EOA which is inconsistent with those two sections, as opposed to the fundamental principle of the separation of powers and independence of the judiciary, but that is another matter.) If passed by three fifths of the members of both Houses of Parliament, the Bill becomes law notwithstanding that inconsistency. But the Tribunal will have no greater protection than it had before: that could only be achieved by amending the entrenched provisions relating to the senior judiciary. - The appeal will also be allowed on the other points where the courts below found the EOA unconstitutional. It cannot be the case that every Act of Parliament which impinges in any way upon the rights protected in sections 4 and 5 of the Constitution is for that reason alone unconstitutional. Legislation frequently affects rights such as freedom of thought and expression and the enjoyment of property. These are both qualified rights which may be limited, either by general legislation or in the particular case, provided that the limitation pursues a legitimate aim and is proportionate to it. It is for Parliament in the first instance to strike the balance between individual rights and the general interest. The courts may on occasion have to decide whether Parliament has achieved the right balance. But there can be little doubt that the balance which Parliament has struck in the EOA is justifiable and consistent with the Constitution. Section 7 does impinge upon freedom of expression but arguably goes no further in doing so than the existing law; if it does go further, by including gender as well as racial or religious hatred, it is merely bringing the law into conformity with all modern human rights instruments, which include sex or gender among the prohibited grounds of discrimination. Sections 17 and 18 do impinge upon freedom of contract but in ways which are now so common in the common law world that it can hardly be argued that they are not proportionate to the legitimate aim which they pursue. Finally, adding to the role of the Judicial and Legal Service Commission in exactly the way contemplated by section 111 is not inconsistent with the Constitution. - For these reasons, therefore, this appeal is allowed as indicated in paragraph 37 of the judgment of Lord Bingham. The EOA is not inconsistent with the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago and should be implemented without further delay.

Dec 19 2017: After arriving in Mangalore yesterday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had this morning left for Lakshadweep in an Army chopper to visit areas affected by the Cyclone Ockhi and to review the relief and rescue operations being carried out by various agencies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit areas of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Lakshadweep that bore the brunt of the intense tropical cyclone, Ockhi, which claimed at least 70 lives*, and caused immense damage to crops and property. "Leaving for Mangaluru, Karnataka. Tomorrow, I will visit Lakshadweep, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala and extensively review the situation that has arisen due to #CycloneOckhi. I will meet cyclone victims, fishermen, farmers, officials and public representatives," the Prime Minister tweeted last night. He added that the Centre is trying every possible measure to monitor the situation and ensure rescue operations.

Sheetla Mata Fair Village Seel-Ki-Doongri (Jaipur), Rajasthan March - April. The Sheetla Mata Fair is held in March-April, the month of Chaitra, in village Seel-Ki-Doongri (Jaipur). Doongri is a hillock on top of which the holy place of Sheetla Mata stands. The fair is held in her honor every year. The fair attracts hordes of guests from far and wide. People suppose that epidemics increase because of the wrath of Sheetla Mata and hence they worship her and make offerings so that she may be pacified. The deity is represented by a red stone. It is an absolute picnic for the pilgrims attending the fair. It is usual to cook one's own food at the site, and eat it only after it has been offered at the shrine. A temporary market comes up at the fair and the rural folk can be seen trading in wares such as shoes, clothes, food stuff, utensils and agricultural implements. A cattle fair is also organized during the fair. It is a small affair and lasts for about a week. Bullocks, camels and horses are sold at the fair and prizes are awarded to the best breeders.

Well, it’s freezing in Hallormstaðir, and the Lagarfljót isn’t, shall we say, a great place for swimming today, but while the weather stations are warning of heavy snow and ice ahead, let’s remember the ice of April, as it breaks on the shore with the music of a flock of 100,000 tiny birds. The ice is the birds, as it shatters and lifts, and refreezes and tilts and falls, and washes in on the waves, all written with the record of a year. What wondrous runes telling of every moment the winter through. It’s beginning now. If you go down to the lake, you might catch the first words, but do stay safe on those slick roads. And if you can’t, well, there’s April, when the ice plays its recording, just once, in birdsong.

Conduct mechanized, combined-arms operations and other expeditionary operations in order to support theater engagement plans and contingency operations. The regiment will be prepared to deploy within 48-hours of the receipt of an execute order as either the ground combat element for the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade (1st MEB) or as a major subordinate element of the 1st Marine Division. As directed, the regiment will prepare infantry battalions for deployment to the Pacific Command (PACOM AOR) in order to support III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) operations and training1st Battalion 7th Marines (1/7) 2nd Battalion 7th Marines (2/7) 3rd Battalion 7th Marines (3/7) 3rd Battalion 4th Marines (3/4) – (assigned to the 7th Marine Regiment for the purpose of facilitating 4th Marines as a "host" regimental headquarters for battalions on unit deployment program assignments to 3rd MARDIV on Okinawa.) 7th Marines was formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 14 August 1917. During World War I, the 7th Marine Regiment immediately deployed to Cuba for two years. They were deactivated in the demobilization that followed the war. When the Marine Corps was once again called upon to provide peacekeepers in the Caribbean (1933), elements of the regiment were reactivated and deployed on Naval ships off the Cuban coast. At the end of the crisis, 7th Marines was once again inactivated. On 1 January 1941, the 7th Marine Regiment was re-activated at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The regiment moved to what is today Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. On 18 September 1942 the regiment landed in the Solomon Islands on Guadalcanal. For four long months the regiment relentlessly attacked the Japanese defenders and repulsed banzai charges and suicidal attacks. Medal of Honor recipient "Manila John" Basilone, Mitchell Paige, and Navy Cross recipient Lewis "Chesty" Puller, served in the 7th Marine Regiment in the Guadalcanal Campaign Arriving in Australia in January 1943, the vast majority of the regiment suffered from malaria, wounds or fatigue. Again and again the regiment was called upon to storm the Japanese-held islands in the Pacific. The Seventh Marine Regiment fought in such places as Eastern New Guinea, New Britain, "Bloody Peleliu" and the island fortress of Okinawa. 7th Marines saw intense fighting on the island of Okinawa where they sustained 700 Marines killed or wounded in the fighting to take Dakeshi Ridge and another 500 killed or wounded in the fighting near Wana Ridge. After the surrender of Japan, 7th Marines took part in the Occupation of Northern China from 30 September 1945 through 5 January 1947. They returned to MCB Camp Pendleton, California in January 1947 and were reassigned to the 1st Marine Division. The regiment was deactivated on 6 March 1947 as part of the Marine Corps' draw down of forces after the war. 7th Marines however was quickly reactivated on 1 October 1947 but only as a shell of its former self as it consisted of only four companies. Company "C" deployed to China from 2 May through 23 June 1949 to safeguard the withdrawal of Americans and was the last element of Fleet Marine Force to depart China. On 17 August 1950, after the outbreak of the Korean War, the Regiment was reactivated, and on 21 September 1950 the Regiment landed at Inchon, as part of the 1st Marine Division. The regiment fought from Inchon to the Yalu, at The "Frozen Chosin" Reservoir and in the long defense of South Korea until the armistice. In fall of 1962, substantial parts of the regiment embarked for the Caribbean and possible action in Cuba, aimed at forcing the removal of Soviet nuclear missiles pointed at the United States. As the Cuban Missile Crisis subsided, The Seventh Marines returned to Camp Pendleton, California. In 1965, the regiment was deployed to South Vietnam. While in service in Vietnam the 7th Marine regiment participated in the following military operations: Operation Starlite, Operation Piranha, Operation Harvest Moon, Operation Mallard, operations Texas and Indiana, Operation Golden Fleece 7-1, Operation Rio Blanco, Operation Shark, Operation Boone, Operation Duval, Operation Desoto, Operation Foster, Tet Offensive, Operation Allen Brook, Operation Mameluke Thrust, Operation Daring Endeavor, Operation Linn River, Operation Meade River, Operation Oklahoma Hills, Operation Taylor Common, Phase I of Operation Pipestone Canyon, the Defense of Que Son, Operation Pickens Forest and Operation Imperial Lake. The last elements of 7th Marines departed the Republic of Vietnam 13 October 1970. In August 1990, shortly after shifting the home of the regimental colors from Camp Pendelton to the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California, the Marines and sailors of the regiment deployed to Saudi Arabia. They were part of the attack into Kuwait and eventual victory. In August 1991, as a result of the unique organizational changes that occurred in Seventh Marines, and with the addition of 3rd LAR Battalion, 3rd Tank Battalion and Delta Company, 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion, Seventh Marine Regiment became Regimental Combat Team Seven (RCT-7). In December 1992, RCT-7 deployed on Operation Restore Hope to relieve famine and return order to Somalia, remaining there for five months. On 13 August 1993, on the eve of the regiment's 76th anniversary, the regiment formally marked the return to its original designation by changing its name from Regimental Combat Team 7 to 7th Marines (Reinforced). In August 1996, organizational changes once again designated 3rd LAR Battalion (Formerly LAI Bn) and 1st Tank Battalion as separate battalions in direct support of the 7th Marine's MPF Mission. Also in direct support is Delta Company 3rd AA Battalion who returned to 3rd Assault Amphibian Battalion. In January 2003, the 7th Marines deployed to Kuwait as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. On 21 March, the regiment crossed the line of departure into Iraq as it moved to seize and cut off Iraqi units around Basrah. During the course of the next few weeks, the regiment continued the offensive to capture Baghdad and collapse the regime of Saddam Hussein. During much of the attack north, the regiment led the 1st Marine Division in the deepest attack in Marine Corps history. The regiment again deployed to Iraq in February 2004 where they were based at Al Asad Airbase and were responsible for security and stabilization operations in the western desert regions of Al Anbar Province. The regiment's third Iraq deployment came in 2006 where they were again operating throughout Al Anbar and based at Al Asad.

30 Vertical Gardening 30 Vertical Gardening Some people are lucky and have this innate gift of knowing how to design space, making it a pleasing place to be in. Others dont have this gene and find it very difficult to visualise how the space will work. To create a good design it is important you understand that design is about managing space and people moving around it. The core of good garden design centres round patterns and the space within these patterns. By using geometrical shapes, circles, triangles, rectangles etc. you can achieve a unified feel to your garden. So you need to think about ground patterns and movement around your garden. Where would you like people to go? Ground patterns can be achieved with the use of bricks, paving and plant material such as cut grass etc. And semi formal is the combination of the above two. Usually it is the built structures such as retaining walls, paths and steps that are formal and the informal element is the plant material which is allowed to spill over them, softening their hard outlines. Within these three types, there are many different styles of gardens to choose from such as contemporary, Japanese, Mediterranean, cottage, courtyard, kitchen garden or secret garden. Garden design is a very personal thing and is often an expression of your personality. What I like you, you may not and vise versa. Some people like neat and tidy gardens where there are no surprises, others love the thrill of windy paths, lots of different plant material and not knowing what is around the corner. There are three main styles of gardens formal, semi formal and informal. They can then be divided into many types of gardens and that depends on what you would like. Garden design can be intimately tidied to the style of your house as in example of the grand french chateaux where the geometric patterns of the garden mimic the geometric construction of the house or it can have no connection to your house at all. Informal designs are asymmetrical and not as regimented. Plant material is allowed to spill over the structural elements such as walls, steps and paths. Plant material is allowed to self-seed and wander around the garden. Informal garden design is softer, full of surprises thus you dont know what to expect. some existing vertical gardens home pinterest verticle gardens metal trellis trellis vines 0d – jackson garden vertical gardening using chain to suspend planters outdoor indoor hanging plant pots 18 pockets wall vertical garden some existing vertical gardens home pinterest gallery of penda designs sky villas with vertical gardens for vertical gardening for big or small spaces mom with a prep 39 lovely vertical garden collection this diy vertical garden brings privacy and produce to a confined 38 besten vertical garden ideas bilder auf pinterest Some Existing Vertical Gardens Home Pinterest Verticle Gardens from vertical gardening , source:norutyunner.info Metal Trellis Trellis Vines 0d – Jackson Garden from vertical gardening , source:jacksonmccluskey.com Vertical Gardening Using chain to suspend planters from vertical gardening , source:pinterest.com Outdoor Indoor Hanging Plant Pots 18 Pockets Wall Vertical Garden from vertical gardening , source:aliexpress.com Some existing vertical gardens Home Pinterest from vertical gardening , source:pinterest.com wall garden pots wonderful growing with a vertical gardening hub gro wall vertical garden system green walls garden wall planters luxury plant wall hangers indoor inspirational herb wall planter fresh plant wall hangers indoor inspirational green vertical grow bag gardening wall mounted planting flower grow 4 pockets black hanging vertical wall garden planter flower planting vertical garden gardening pinterest 22 weird and wonderful features you ll wish you had in your garden vertikale garten selber machen vertikaler garten selber machen neu 4 pockets black hanging vertical wall garden planter flower planting herb wall planter fresh plant wall hangers indoor inspirational 20 creative diy vertical gardens for your home pin by lashh ⥠on vertical gardens in 2018 garden wall planters luxury plant wall hangers indoor inspirational wituse free shipping 4 6 8 36 64 72 pockets vertical garden flower flora grubb panels let you design your own vertical garden 10 diy vertical garden ideas gardening pinterest vertical garden picture of hotel sudhir mount abu tripadvisor metal trellis trellis vines 0d – jackson garden 40 60cm eucalyptus artificial plant vertical garden fake wall screen

The U.S. Department of State has issued a Worldwide Travel Alert that alerts U.S. citizens to possible risks of travel due to increased terrorist threats. If students, faculty or staff are planning to travel internationally, please consult the travel alert and country-specific information. The State Department says U.S. citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation; be aware of immediate surroundings; avoid large crowds or crowded places; and exercise particular caution at holiday festivals or events. State Department security tips include: - Follow the instructions of local authorities. Monitor media and local information sources and factor updated information into personal travel plans and activities. - Be prepared for additional security screening and unexpected disruptions. - Stay in touch with your family members and ensure they know how to reach you in the event of an emergency. - Register in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive security updates and make it easier to locate you in an emergency. > Follow updates from the U.S. Department of State on Twitter at @TravelGov or on Facebook > Find information about advance international travel registration for SMU-affiliated programs or activities — Sarah Hanan SMU has heard from all 11 of its students studying in Paris that they are safe. The SMU Travel Oversight Committee is closely monitoring the situation and is receiving updates from the U.S. State Department and International SOS. SMU community members abroad are asked to be aware that France has declared a national state of emergency and has tightened its borders. On Saturday, Nov. 14, the U.S. Embassy in France issued a security message regarding the terrorist attacks: “Further incidents are possible. We strongly urge U.S. citizens to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security, including limiting their movements to essential activity. U.S. citizens are encouraged to monitor media and local information sources and factor updated information into personal travel plans and activities.” While airports and train stations remain open, travelers may expect delays due to heightened security measures. All SMU Abroad students are covered by emergency travel assistance through I-SOS and may use the services of I-SOS worldwide during their term of study abroad. During SMU Abroad orientation, students received laminated cards with emergency phone numbers for I-SOS. I-SOS contact information also is available online at the International SOS website. In addition, every SMU-approved study abroad program has its own emergency preparedness plan and protocols. Students with concerns or questions are asked to contact the SMU Abroad Director, Dr. Cathy Winnie (214-768-4904), or SMU Assistant Chief of Police Jim Walters (214-768-1586). Student safety is the highest priority of SMU and our partner study abroad programs. Students abroad are asked to review these personal security steps: - Register your travel with the State Department Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, or STEP; - Make sure you register all independent travel with your program director so staff can reach you immediately in an emergency; remember to confirm and update any changes to your emergency contact information in your my.SMU account online; - Follow news reports closely; - Remain alert to your surroundings at all times; - Walk away from the first sign of trouble, and report any suspicious persons, packages or activities; - Avoid loud conversations and discussions that identify you as foreign, and avoid wearing clothing such as football jerseys or university sweatshirts, or T-shirts with American logos; - Keep your international cellphone with you, fully charged and turned on at all times, and respond immediately to any calls or messages from program staff. As Spring Break 2009 approaches, SMU encourages all students, faculty and staff to heed U.S. Department of State travel warnings. Information about travel warnings, including specific information about trips to Mexico, can be found at travel.state.gov. Meanwhile, several SMU students are spending their March hiatus building homes, preserving natural resources and delivering meals across the United States as part of 2009 Alternative Spring Break. Led by SMU’s campus community service organization SPARC (Students Promoting Awareness, Responsibility and Citizenship) and Office of Leadership and Community Involvement (LCI), students will work with community agencies including: Learn more about this year’s trips at SMU’s Alternative Spring Break website.

In today's world, the recruiting and hiring process is being forced to adapt to rapid changes in the workforce, as well as in the way we use technology. Finding the right candidate for the job in an increasingly competitive realm is difficult, and businesses are looking for ways to streamline their efforts and uncover the diamonds in the rough in a way that is efficient and effective. If the hiring process takes too long, a job vacancy can impact a company’s bottom line and hinder its ability to be productive. On the flip side, because it is so competitive if a company waits too long when trying to make a decision, they risk losing an excellent candidate to another company that snaps them up faster. What’s a business trying to stay relevant and competitive to do? Monitor your recruiting and hiring trends, of course! Here are some of the biggies you’ll want to pay attention to. Social Media and Technology Will Continue to Reign From using LinkedIn and sites like Glassdoor to list jobs and recruit team members, to using data and artificial intelligence to quickly find and narrow down potential candidates, evaluate gaps in skills and increase employee retention, technology, and social media is (and has been) changing the way things are done. Additionally, some companies are using interviewing platforms that are text-based rather than jumping on a phone call in an effort to eliminate any unconscious biases a recruiter may have when trying to decide on a new hire. If a recruiter can set aside all biases, they can simply focus on what matters most — hiring the best candidate for the job. Offering Remote Hire Positions Another trend companies are moving toward is offering more remote or telework hire positions. The advantages of remote hires are lower cost, improved productivity, less overhead, and access to a larger talent pool. Businesses are finding that even if they make an incredible offer to a talented candidate and it requires the candidate to relocate they may turn it down. One downside to this is it means there is less face time between team members, which makes building a strong and cohesive team atmosphere more challenging. Getting Smart in Retaining Talent One of the biggest reasons many professionals walk away from a career opportunity is due to a lack of opportunity for advancement. Many career professionals, especially the ones with the highest level of talent and skill, want to be able to move up as they develop, succeed for the organization and grow. If they can’t do that, they essentially hit the dreaded glass ceiling and will leave a company in search of bigger and better opportunities. Staffing Opportunities in the Coworking Industry When staffing a coworking space or organization, the industry comes with its own set of challenges. You have to carefully decide if you want your customer’s experience to be more personal and hands-on, or if you want to run a facility that is focused more on self-service and customer autonomy. The sense of community and culture is what helps to really build a coworking space that customers will flock to and generates the kind of success an operator, franchisee, or investor is looking for. It’s important to hire people that can help members without having to seek out their superiors for every challenge or snafu and to look for candidates that are personable and friendly. A coworking space needs people that are good communicators, problem-solvers, and don't mind making the daily rounds to chat with clients and tenants. Additionally, some operators look to streamline by using coworking management software to automate and optimize their processes, saving them both time and money, as well as eliminating the potential for human error. At the end of the day, hiring and recruiting is an ever-changing landscape. Companies willing and able to stay on top of current trends and use cutting-edge methods of discovering and finding new talent will rise to the top in their industry. Companies that don’t, will find themselves floundering to keep up. Developing a pool of talent is an investment, one that can grow your business for the future.

If there’s one thing almost every Alaskan has, it’s an off road vehicle of some sort. It could be a boat, bush plane, ATV/UTV, Argo, or snow machine (snowmobile for you Lower 48’ers). Our plans here in Homer include building a house, putting up a high tunnel, and owning a few small animals. We’ll need something to haul produce up from the garden, run up the road to get the mail, take hunting, use collecting firewood, etc. Given the expected uses, we knew we wanted a UTV/SxS (side-by-side); you can haul more people and stuff. I was particularly drawn to the Honda Pioneer 700-4. Hondas are big up here, they’re built well, and they hold their value exceptionally well. The 700-4 has 2 fixed seats up front, and a dump bed in the back. Contained within the bed are two additional seats that fold up independently. The versatility is highly appealing, because any competitor’s 4 seater with a dump bed is at least 3 feet longer. The trouble with a Honda SxS is a) it’s expensive, and b) trying to find a used one is next to impossible. We don’t really need one until we get the house built, but I started perusing online classifieds in the off chance I’d find a used one to buy. A few days later in the wee morning hours, I struck gold. I found a 2014 Honda Pioneer 700-4 loaded with a bunch of accessories, less than 60 hours on the engine, and at a fair price. Because they’re so rare used, and the world of online classifieds is all about who shows up first with cash in hand, we embarked on a frantic rush to connect with the seller and take a peek at this machine. Unfortunately, the seller lives in Nikiski which is about a 2 hour drive one-way. We made the decision to run up there on a week night (which in hindsight was probably a poor decision), trailerless, and without cash. But hey, we didn’t want to let someone else get it! On the way up, Mama B called UHaul in Soldotna to see if they had a trailer that would work for us, in the event we chose to buy it. The employee seemed overwhelmed by the question, but at the end of the call we had a trailer on hold, to be picked up minutes before they closed for the day. As the sun was beginning to set, we arrived and met the sellers. They were a younger couple with an 18 month old boy. Little B enjoyed running up and down their driveway with their son. At one point they were standing next to one another and he reached over to grab her hand. Little B wasn’t too sure about that; no surprise. She rarely lets us hold her hand and this was a stranger. After a chat with the seller and a quick test drive, we decided to buy it. On the way to the UHaul store (about 30 minutes from their house in Nikiski), we stopped at the credit union hoping the electronic funds transfer from our old bank had completed so I could get a cashier’s check. Swing and a miss. Fortunately, the seller was willing to accept a personal check otherwise we’d have been dead in the water and would’ve needed to make another 4-hour round trip. At the UHaul store, we quickly confirmed that the original employee was overwhelmed. She booked an enclosed trailer for us, not the open trailer we requested. Thankfully they had a selection of open trailers available. We hooked up the 6’x12′ trailer, and peeled out as the employee turned off the OPEN light, heading back to the seller’s place. Back at the seller’s house we drew up a quick bill of sale, exchanged money for title/keys, and were then greeted with a fantastic life lesson: measure twice, leave UHaul once. We were so focused on finding something 5′ wide, that we neglected to measure the opening/ramp width. The trailer itself was 6′ wide, but the ramp was a few inches shy of 5′. There was no way the Honda was going in. On the plus side, Little B positively loved running up the ramp, into the trailer, and back out/down again. She was living the dream being outside, running around, and up way past her bedtime. As we were standing there trying to figure out what to do and when we could come back with another trailer, I asked the seller what he would charge me to drive the Honda to Homer in the truck/trailer he had right there ready to go. We agreed on a price and he said he’d deliver it that night. It was going to make for a late night for him, but whatever. That’s his choice. We gave him some cash, and headed back to UHaul to drop off this trailer. I put it right back where I picked it up an hour earlier, and we headed back to Homer. About 5 minutes after we pulled into the driveway, he came rolling down the street. We unloaded it, parked it in tight between the truck and the garage door, and called it a night. The next day I cleared out some room in the garage and it just barely fit under the short garage door. Now, like true Alaskans, our toy is in the garage and our vehicle is outside. Next, to find a trailer.

“—for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God—” “And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time as “foreigners in the land.”” 1 Peter 1:17, NLT A frequent issue confronted by disciples is that between fear and faith. The question posed to us concerns “fearing God”, and trusting Him. Can intimacy be built on the foundation of fear? Deep within, we understand the need for fear, at least a reverence. We are now sons and daughters of a loving God who just happens to be holy and just. It’s as if our faith is reduced to an uneasy contact with someone who is quite dangerous. We don’t easily find the balance; it drives us to a false sense of relationship. Often we are either resentful and cower, or we blatantly disregard Him. (Or somewhere in between.) Yet fear has a place. Our Father reveals to us that He is not just some mere tribal deity over a specific group of people. Rather, Jehovah God is the Creator, and the Sustainer of this terrestrial ball, and everything that works itself out in the here-and-now. We are to fear, but with a legitimate fear. He is a loving God who happens to hate sin and iniquity. These things continue to destroy His creation. It defiles all that is right and perfect. He would not be just, or right to overlook sin. I am certain that He loves me with a “crazy-love”. His affection for me pushes the boundaries of anything logical. He is not reasonable with His intense love. He directed His Son to come for me, and lift me out of my ugliness, sinfulness and perversity. His love goes beyond anything rational. But I fear Him. It is a fear that I might offend Him and somehow harm His kingdom. (That is a legitimate possibility, but it also strengthens me to obey Him.) So, do I fear or do I love? I think the wrestling with this will work itself into me. It is fear and love combined, worked into my heart like yeast is worked in bread dough. There will be a resulting effect. I have a faith that should grow this up. It needs to advance as I mature in Him. I choose to love Him fiercely, and fear Him conclusively.

On 29 January 2018, the day after I turned 40, I went to the Louvre with the hopes of seeing an exhibition called “Théâtre du Pouvoir”. I’ve been visiting the world’s largest art museum, and a historic monument in Paris, for the past 20 years. Since I acquired my priority access card, almost a decade ago, I’ve visited every exhibition space in the museum and I always make the time to visit new temporary exhibitions. The ancient Egyptian section is by far my favourite area of research and contemplation, but on the day in question I set off to view “Théâtre du Pouvoir”, a new exhibition in the space that promised to engage the connection between art and political power by exploring how governing entails self-presentation as a way of affirming authority, legitimacy and prestige. According to the publicity material, “art in the hands of patrons becomes a propaganda tool; but it can also be a vehicle for protest and subverting the established order.” Unfortunately, I never got to see the show and can’t comment on its content as I was barred from attending after I became embroiled in a mini power play that enacted precisely the subject the exhibition promised to critique. As I attempted to enter the Louvre using the side entrance (my usual entrance) in Passage Richelieu, I was halted by a blond woman, who made it clear to me that I could not proceed. At first, I thought she was just another racist, but to my surprise I overheard her speaking Arabic with a colleague who arrived on the scene. Was this a case of an oppressed person who has faced discrimination so many times in their life that they feel the only way for them to rid themselves of their humiliation is to humiliate another “minority”? Racism has reached new heights, a sphere of complexity and stupidity. I changed tactic and attempted the entrance at Rue de Rivoli, where I made my complaints about being barred earlier known to a group of guards who empathised with me. All was well, until one guard said she thought that maybe I was refused entrance because of the plastic breasts on the back of my hat. “Don’t you have paintings and sculptures of topless/naked women in the Louvre?” I asked, and she immediately realised how foolish her comment was. The epitome of stupidity however came later when the Chef de Zone (Chief of Security) was called to make the final pronouncement as to whether me and my double-breasted hat should be allowed to enter. A short, beautiful French woman arrived, and I said to myself, “Maybe I have a chance to finally get in. Boy was I wrong – I would have been better off with Goebbels. She told me I had to take my hat off because it could cause “trouble à l’ordre public” (public disturbance) or a “mouvement de foule” (crowd movement). Of course, breasts have been known to inspire wars – however, this seemed a bit extreme. It went further. While she acknowledged I was an artist and was even prepared to consider my hat as an art piece, “the Louvre was not a place for artists to exhibit themselves or their work.” Uh, really? How could an art museum become so fascist? How can an institute contain so many breasts, and yet refuse a black artist and his breasted hat entry to its domus? This and other stories available in the new issue of Chronic Books. Titled XIBAARU TEERE YI (Chronic Books in Wolof), it asks the urgent question: What can African Writers Learn from Cheikh Anta Diop?

My daughter invited her girlfriends over for Valentine’s Day tea party after school. Earlier this week when I asked her what food she wants for the party her answer was “Lot’s of chocolate and pink stuff, Mami.” Got it, loud and clear. Off I went baking up a storm, I made Red Velvet cupcake with cream cheese frosting, strawberry dipped in chocolate, heart shape chocolate cookies with 1001’s, meringue kisses, dulce de leche bischoco and fruit salad. Got store-bought raspberry covered in dark chocolate, pink & purple honeycombs and flower tea, voila the tea party is good to go! Did the table set up with my treasured cupcake print mini tea cup set, cupcake place mat and pink table cloth, it’s a pink party alright! Then the Little Ladies arrived, laughter were shared between flower tea, cupcake, rainbow loom and hugs. Definitely one happy mama here!

I’ve been thinking about growing old quite a bit recently. Some may say too late, you’re already there. But funnily enough, I don’t see myself that way. As a child born in the 1950s, I am technically old and certainly middle-aged. But you know what? When it comes to living I say that glass, she is still half full so I give the two-fingered salute to old father time. But how long can I, should I, expect to live? Well, if your name is Ezekiel Emmanuel and you happen to be President Barack Obama’s health advisor, then the answer is 75. That’s how long Emmanuel wants to live, or so he says. He wrote an extremely provocative essay in the Atlantic Monthly, titled: Why I Hope To Die At 75, an argument that society and families and ourselves would be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly. Emmanuel writes: “Doubtless, death is a loss. It deprives us of experiences and milestones, of time spent with our spouse and children. In short, it deprives us of all the things we value. But here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long is also a loss. It renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived. It robs us of our creativity and ability to contribute to work, society, the world. It transforms how people experience us, relate to us, and, most important, remember us. We are no longer remembered as vibrant and engaged but as feeble, ineffectual, even pathetic. By the time I reach 75, I will have lived a complete life. I will have loved and been loved. My children will be grown and in the midst of their own rich lives. I will have seen my grandchildren born and beginning their lives. I will have pursued my life’s projects and made whatever contributions, important or not, I am going to make. And hopefully, I will not have too many mental and physical limitations. Dying at 75 will not be a tragedy. “ Already I am thinking Ezekiel Emmanuel is, quite frankly, talking through his hat. I mean on what basis is 75 an arbitrary cut off point? But for the sake of a debate let’s humor him. Emmanuel says over recent decades there was an increase in longevity but also a significant downside. That increase was accompanied by an increase in disability. In other words, we’re living longer but becoming more incapacitated. To bolster his argument, Ezekiel cites research from Eileen Crimmins, a researcher at the University of Southern California, who assessed the physical functioning in adults, and analyzed whether people could walk a quarter of a mile; climb 10 stairs; stand or sit for two hours; and stand up, bend, or kneel without using special equipment. The results show that as people get older, there’s a progressive erosion of physical functioning. More importantly, Crimmins found that between 1998 and 2006, the loss of functional mobility in the elderly increased. In 1998, about 28 percent of American men, aged 80 and older had some form of functional limitation; by 2006, that figure was nearly 42 percent. It’s even worse for women. More than half of women aged 80 and older had a mobility issue. Crimmins’s conclusion: There was an “increase in the life expectancy with disease and a decrease in the years without disease.” As people live longer their ability to function with normal mobility gets shorter. According to Emmanuel, health care hasn’t slowed the aging process, it has slowed the dying process. As far as Ezekiel Emmanuel is concerned, old age is just bad news that keeps getting worse. He writes: “ Even if we aren’t demented, our mental functioning deteriorates as we grow older. Age associated declines in mental-processing speed, working and long-term memory, and problem-solving are well established. Conversely, distractibility increases. “We cannot focus and stay with a project as well as we could when we were young. As we move slower with age, we also think slower. It is not just mental slowing. We literally lose our creativity.” But having argued the point in quite extensive detail, Emmanuel comes to the end of his piece and does the full cop out. He says: “ Seventy-five years is all I want to live. I want to celebrate my life while I am still in my prime. My daughters and dear friends will continue to try to convince me that I am wrong and can live a valuable life much longer. And I retain the right to change my mind and offer a vigorous and reasoned defense of living as long as possible. That, after all, would mean still being creative after 75.” It’s called having a bet each way. Emmanuel, a bioethicist, says he hopes to be dead by 75, having lived in his words a complete life. He won’t medicate, take a flu injection or even swallow an antibiotic, but then reserves the right to change his mind, which he is perfectly entitled to do. But what is the point of advocating being dead by 75 if you don’t really mean it? And, all of these ideas coming from a senior Obama advisor, implies that he must be trying to influence Government health care policy. But even if he isn’t, Ezekiel Emmanuel, will in all probability, change his mind when he creeps closer to that magic figure of 75, assuming he lives that long. Interestingly, he has identified an important issue. Despite what Emmanuel says, I firmly believe age is a state of mind. And depending on which state, that mind happens to be in, has a large bearing on how well you will fair as you get older. But you are fighting an uphill battle. A fair and humane society should respect an individual at every age. But that can’t be the case when Governments and economists and even the media talk about the problem of old age. An Australian researcher, Doctor Patricia Edgar, has written extensively about the issue of aging. She says American National Institute of Ageing studies show that negative stereotypes about ageing, images of the elderly as “senile”, “frail”, or confused, can become debilitating, self-fulfilling prophecies. “ Seeing or hearing gloomy examples about what it is like to be old can make people walk more slowly, hear and remember less well, and even affect their cardiovascular system, affecting health and longevity,” Edgar says. She points out the result is hardly surprising. Tell anyone, at any age, they are a burden, with nothing to contribute and they will begin to believe and act accordingly. Here’s something that might surprise. Despite many of the resounding, negative observations, a significant percentage of older Australians and I suspect people from other countries as well, are living, breathing testimonies of how wrong you can be. They are living fulfilling lives , increasing their contribution to the work force. I’m not just talking about my generation of baby boomers who seem to be a unique social experiment. It’s the group directly following the baby boomers, which represents a larger demographic and will create an even larger bulge in the paid labour force. So what is the best way to correct the myths and develop responsible and productive policies that actually benefit older people? According to Patricia Edgar we should start with a new definition of ageing. When is someone said to be old? Research says life expectancy above 30 is a very modern phenomenon driven by public health measures and falling infant mortality. Life expectancy at birth was 35 in Sweden shortly before 1700; in Italy around 1880; and in Russia around 1910. In Australia today, life expectancy for men who are now 65 is 85 and for women it’s 89. Older people represent the fastest growing demographic in society. Yet, as Edgar points out we are still mired in the perception that 50 is the beginning of old age. South Australia’s Ageing Plan is based on interviews with Australians over 50. At that age we are entering “the second half of life”, not heading for God’s waiting room. According to Edgar, by treating this stage as a period of aged obsolescence, we create a non-existent problem and undermine a resource, which could have significant benefits for society. She says in the 1950s, Americans identified adolescents or teenagers as a group distinct from children, with special needs. It also made sense to split the childhood demographic into two distinct groups with children living with their parents for longer, entering the workforce later, marrying later and life expectancy increasing proportionally. Edgar says it’s time to recognise that middle age, like childhood, is now lived in two stages. We’ve evolved to a point where the first stage involves work and the second, activity before old age. We don’t simply stop work, and then die as we did in the early 1900s. Retirement is from the paid work force but it doesn’t mean you also retire from life. Edgar says it’s a time of maturity, broadened by experience. A time for giving something back and finding satisfaction in a range of activities, like volunteering, childcare and mentoring. Contributions, that should be recognised and valued. It’s a generation that might not figure in measuring a country’s GDP, but strong communities can’t exist without them. Patricia Edgar claims the media doesn’t help by frequently getting it wrong in promoting the concept of some kind of intergenerational war. It is a rare for a family not to view the interests of the young as the over-riding concern of parents and grandparents. Income flows from the old to the young more so than the other way around, a fact that is often conveniently ignored. Edgar says it isn’t difficult to see that the attributes of the very old are being dismissed way too early. And given our increased life expectancy, the term “old” should mean someone over 85, not 65 and certainly not 55. According to Edgar, social, medical and cultural policy needs to catch up with this dramatic change in our life cycle. We should stop talking about retirement and “having a well-deserved rest”. Working until the age of 70, if the jobs are there, and there’s no discrimination in the workforce, makes perfect sense. And the reason for continuing to work doesn’t have to only be as a way of earning an income. It can prevent decline. For too many people, retirement leads to cognitive, emotional and physical obliteration. Edgar says people living an active life after 55 have much to give. As a society we need to think about redesigning our long life journey. There is a growing body of research suggesting that health and satisfaction post 50 plus, is an opportunity to re-invent ourselves. We have become used to thinking that education is solely for the young. Instead we need to think about education as a life-long process. According to Edgar, the choice is ours to make. We are experiencing a longevity revolution. And if we have enough will and imagination, it has exciting potential. Yes even for you Ezekiel Emmanuel. And, you should tell your boss in the White House.

The worst thing to do is force your horse into an exercise he (1) is unprepared to understand (2) is uncomfortable doing. “Sink or swim” is a bad teaching tactic for people and for horses. Once you have answered The Most Important Question to ask at the beginning of the training ride: What Does My Horse Need? You now need to ask The Next Most Important Question to ask at the beginning of the training session: What Exercises Will Supply What My Horse Needs? The constellations of exercises for use in training sessions are as numerous as stars in the galaxy. Let’s narrow down our focus with a couple of observations and goals. 1. Does your horse need confidence? Open the file in your mind labeled “Exercises that we know how to do well”. Perform the exercise and praise the horse for the effort, then make a small alteration in the exercise that draws the exercise out past your comfort zone and perform that version and then praise the horse for the effort even if it is a little shaky. If the horse is frazzled then follow up with the simpler version and praise. Example 1: Your horse finds a walk “head to the wall” leg yield fun. Ask for a more difficult version: “down quarter line push to the rail” leg yield. Then try out a more demanding version: leg yield from rail to quarter line and add on another quarter line leg yield to the rail to finish up a fun sequence. You build the exercise by laying a foundation of simple and moving up in increments. Go back to simple if the horse begins to get fearful or worry. The worst thing to do is force your horse into an exercise he (1) is unprepared to understand (2) is uncomfortable doing. “Sink or swim” is a bad teaching tactic for people and for horses. When the horse fears an exercise then you prepare the horse with a deconstructed version of the exercise and work on the simplified parts of the exercise. Example 2: You are introducing a “down the quarter line and push to the rail” leg yield. In response to your aids your horse throws his head up and rushes forward instead of going sideways. Keep calm and offer Deconstructed Leg Yield Exercises: 1) go to the rail and practice a turn on the forehand with a pause between each step “around the clock”. 2) Then ask for one or two steps of turn on the forehand on the wall until you are at a 35 degree angle to the rail Pause, then put the haunches back on the rail instead of going all the way around. 3) Walk a couple strides forward on the rail, and then two steps of turn on forehand, then put the haunches back on track, and resume walking on rail. Praise him or her. 4) Then without stopping the walk, push the haunches one or two strides in turn on forehand. Remember to ask for only a couple steps in the baby leg yield and use lots of praise. 5) When your horse can comfortably do a leg yield on the rail, return to ”down the quarter line push to the rail” leg yield and see if he balanced better on your aids. 2. Does your horse need “Waking Up”? When your horse is sluggish and not interested in the riding session it is up to you as the teacher to make the session fun and engaging. What attitude did you have while preparing for and performing the exercise? Where you happy, confident and encourage, maybe a little playful? Feel the way you want your horse to feel. Go for a hack and drop in some small lessons during the hack Change the work arena for a pasture or another venue Play Red Light, Green Light. Make several quick changes in gait and speed. Challenge and do not punish. Reward at the slightest effort to “play” Integrate cavaletti, ground poles or small jumps during the exercises Give your horse a reason to view you as interesting, not alarming, and not boring 3. Does your horse need a quicker response to the aids? Again be “playful” with your aids and your geometry. Light and quick aids incite activity. Squeezing, monotonous aids elicit boredom and irritation. Drilling is boring. Limit your tries at an exercise to 3 times (whether it worked or did not work) and move on to another exercise. Go on to another exercise that is fun and active. The next exercise can be related but simpler than the failed one. The worst thing to do is “Spank and Crank”. When you use the “go forward “ aids never give a simultaneous “don’t go anywhere” aid! Use light aids and follow up with a quick, light tap with the whip to emphasize that you want a quicker response. Example 3:Play a version of Red Light/Green Light. Begin trotting on a twenty-meter circle, upon crossing the centerline walk three (or four) steps then trot briskly on. Upon crossing the centerline on the other side of the circle walk three (or four) steps and trot briskly on again. Repeat the walk steps every time you cross the centerline. Does your horse need clarity of aids? You should take a lesson on a horse with quicker, more confident responses to get the timing of aids, and then go back to your horse with that improved feeling and see if you can get the same response on your horse. Communicate that feeling to your horse and encourage. Do not punish! Avoid using conflicting aids. Secure aids (especially outside aids) feel more like you are “catching of cradling” and strong aids are more punishing and suppressive. Allow a small window of time for your horse to respond. Praise any effort. Be consistent with the lighter aid that precedes the stronger aid; ask, then tell. 5. Does your horse need a better rider? Please be honest. We admire your resolve to work through to the next level that you have never ridden or trained before. But every bumble you make delays the innocent horse’s progress. Do the exercises in your comfort zone that work in today’s session Put your horse in training with someone you admire and whose riding style complements your body type. (Find a way to afford it. It will cost you more by delaying your horse’s education.) Take lessons on a horse that can help you develop the skills to ride at that next level so you are ready to pick up where the trainer leaves off. A competent trainer can progress your horse faster than you can imagine. Set certain goals then match you education to that shared goal. Congratulations! You did a very horseman like thing for the happiness of the horse. You have a training plan already outlined and you have a lesson plan for that day’s training session.(read You Gotta Have a Plan if You Want to Succeed ) You have just swung up into the saddle and are walking to the training arena. Youknow what you want out of the session but… now is the time to ask that very important question: What does my horse need? All your hopes and dreams, all your plans and schemes mean little to your horse. He has his own set of plans for the day. It goes like this: Breakfast! My favorite thing! Pasture! My favorite thing! Dinner! My favorite thing! “Being ridden” is quite often very far down on his/her list of fun things to do today. Only clever and empathetic riders can get their horse to look forward to being ridden. How many times have you seen a rider holding a halter approach the horse only to have the horse take one look and turn away from the rider? In some cases, the horse runs to the far end of the pasture. The horse that greets the rider at the stall door with ears forward tells the tale of a rider that knows how to supply what the horse needs to have a real partner in training. A clever rider finds the key to the horse’s interest in the task at hand. Each horse’s needs are different but they generally fall into several categories. The horse needs comfort. The horse needs confidence. The horse needs courage. Let’s look at each of these needs. When the horse needs comfort. Is the horse sick? — Get his temperature, take his pulse, take his respiration and capillary refill time, has he/she pooped, has he/she drunk water— then get a vet! Is the horse hurt/lame? —Get poultice/bandages/bute/wraps or Get a vet! Does the saddle fit? — Get a saddle fitter! Does the bridle and bit fit? — Fix it! Change bits, lower/raise bit, buy new bridle that fits better Do I sit easily and in balance with the horse? — Work out more, do more core work, do more yoga, take lunge line lessons! Is the footing comfortable for this horse? — Work in the level field, find an area of the arena that is not too deep or hard or worst of all, uneven Is the weather causing anhidrosis (non sweating)? — Work in the cool of the morning, work in the shade, splash water on horse during session, stop working so hard and just hack lightly. Try supplements designed just for anhidrosis. Is the work I am asking too hard for this horse? — Consult a trainer for scaled down versions, work shorter versions, do something within the skill set of this particular horse. Am I pushing the horse too fast? — Go back to the preparatory schooling figures or work on the purity of basic gaits and come back to the harder movements in a couple weeks. Am I approaching the difficult movements with tension and negative attitudes? If you approach a movement or schooling figure like a trip to the dentist or gynecologist office your horse will reflect that negative attitude with fear or resistance. When a Horse Needs Confidence Cultivate your own positive and encouraging attitude during the training, even in the face of your horse’s panic or anger Take baby steps to conquer the insurmountable difficulty Make sure your aids are clear, consistent and timely Reward with your voice, or patting, or a treat quickly at ANY sign of your horse attempting to do the new/difficult thing Limit repetitions of a movement to only THREE tries (good or bad move on to the next skill/movement/schooling figure) Never ask for anything new or stressful or difficult when your horse is tired Never ask for anything new/difficult when your horse is frightened Now is the time to ask for something your horse likes to do Never ask your horse to repeat something he/she performed correctly for the first time ever. Walk away in glory! Ask again tomorrow after your horse has slept on it with that reward and good feeling of being your partner. When a Horse Needs Courage What is the difference between confidence and courage? Confidence is the ease that the horse has with his rider and his job. Courage is the attitude with which your horse greets any new/frightening experience. Never force your horse with kicking/hitting/spurring while driving the horse’s face is in (or over) the frightening object! Your horse will associate the punishment with the object forever more. Come at the fearsome object sideways, not face on Work your way closer with a couple of passes Allow the horse a moment to come to terms with the fearsome object Do not let the horse become mesmerized, move on! Ride behind or alongside of another horse that is brave You must be brave and confident (not angry or nervous) Distract your horse with a well known and loved movement or project when something frightens him Present the horse with an easy project that tests the courage without overwhelming the horse first before asking facing the exceptionally frightening object. After these early success where you develop trust between you and your horse, then increase the excitement level as you develop your horse’s courage “muscle” Have a plan where you develop your horse’s courage muscle over days and weeks When you supply what the horse needs it allows the horse to perform as your partner. One more suggestion: Build your partnership from the ground up! A partnership formed on the ground does transfer to an under saddle partnership Let’s face it. The reason that the horse is spoiled or a bad actor is because some arrogant biped caused the horse physical or emotional injury. 99% of the time it was not a congenital bad attitude. Let’s face it. The reason that the horse is spoiled or a bad actor is because some arrogant biped caused the horse physical or emotional injury. 99% of the time it was not a congenital bad attitude. Riders assign the label “bad attitude” to any action of the horse that the rider did not intend on eliciting or that the rider did not like. In most cases the horse is mirroring his own emotional conflict. The horse is telling you “Hey! I am “see the list below” Any emotion exhibited by the horse, unpleasant or pleasant can cause the rider to punish the horse. Picture a young horse on a cold windy day that becomes happily excited and begins leaping nimbly about. The frightened rider then punishes the horse. The young horse thinks, “The rider does not like it when I am happy”. The rider probably wanted to discourage the leaping about but did not intend on the horse thinking he was being punished for feeling happy. On the opposite end of the spectrum is when a frightened horse spooks and runs off. The rider punishes the horse for “being disobedient” without addressing the horse’s reason for the spook—Fear. The trainer charged with recovering a spoiled horse must be observant, disciplined and have a plan. If the horse is considered “spoiled” then the horse has ingrained habits to certain situations or disciplines. The trainer must have a plan for interrupting and replacing this unwanted behavior. It is important to ask “What does the horse need?” because by addressing the horse’s problem you take away the trigger for the unwanted behavior and in the process develop trust between you and the horse. Whole libraries of books and online articles are available for case-by-case examples and solutions. I cannot cover everything in this blog post but here is a thumbnail guide to finding a solution to your horse’s problem. 1. Rule out a physical complaint. Come on, if it were you hurting then you would want someone to fix that first, right? Would you happily run a marathon in too tight shoes, would you? 2. Exactly what is the emotional problem? Take a look the emotions listed above Build a plan that addresses the base complaint. For the love of god, don’t just grab the lead shank and make it up as you go along! That is probably how the horse got into the situation to begin with. The hard part about this is accurately seeing what the horse’s problem is and not casting your own feelings into the horse that the horse does not own. 3. Change the venue You may not have control over the horse’s meltdown but you have control over where it happens When the horse’s behavior is triggered in the arena start by addressing things in the pasture or by riding out of the arena. The important thing is that you have a plan to lay a foundation of trust in the non-trigger area. You build the trust with some increasingly more stressful projects 4. Use the Buddy System Herd animals use the example of their fellow herd members to decide to be frightened or to be brave. Let an older horse show the young horse correct behavior and confident attitudes 5. Change the Cue When a certain use of the aids causes an angry reaction in the horse then simply teach another cue for the same movement. Be smart. Figure out a compromise. I rode a horse that was taught to lope by touching the shoulder of the leading shoulder with the toe of the boot. The old trainer was a long legged guy and it was just easier than folding his leg back. It worked for him. But there I was, a short girl in a western saddle with stiff fenders. I was a comical sight trying to reach the shoulder with my toe. Worse, I could not even get close to “the spot”. The horse was a good egg and we eventually got a hybrid system of leads going that he was happy with and that I could physically accomplish. 6. Teach Don’t Punish The famous teacher, Ann Sullivan, did not teach the blind-deaf child, Helen Keller, sign language by beating her. By the time it gets this bad the horse has already had his fill with punishment. He/she probably has his dukes up ready to fight before you even ring the bell. Be smart; don’t even climb into the ring. Start by setting an example of cooperation on the ground with some exercises or even “feel good” projects on the halter. Whatever you do that builds trust will bleed over to under saddle work. Yes, the saddle may trigger the “bad attitude” but at least you will start off with a whole list of things you both agree on. You’ll have to be persistent. You will have to be clever. You will have to be disciplined. To paraphrase Helen Keller “Be the Light in the Horse’s Darkness” 7. Catch the horse doing something “right” ten times every ride (at least every six minutes). Ignore wrong answers. This will probably be a novel experience for the horse. Keep praising any attempt at any behavior (no matter how “wrong”) that is NOT the trigger behavior. It’s a game of You’re Getting Warmer. Play it. You both will win. I had a horse that would “lock up” and freeze anytime I began to cue piaffe. She loved passage and had no worries about that. I was reduced to leg yielding—then pausing but keep “prancing”—then leg yielding before she froze. I would not ask every day, just a day here and there. Immediately after a few piaffe steps I would go into something she enjoyed doing (passage, extend). It took months but we succeeded and had fun. Some Additional Thoughts You may never know just what happened to sour the horse to something. It is your job to figure out how to solve the horse’s problem. If your riding skills are not equal to the challenge it is smart to hire the perfect person for the job. What tactics do you use when recovering a spoiled horse? I now had trouble finding and keeping Heroes. When looking for heroes in the real world should I expect my heroes to be infallible? Was my hero bar set too high for mere mortals? Just how human will I allow my heroes to be? My heroes changed, as I grew older. At an early age I adored Mighty Mouse. He would come to save the day. I just knew it. He told me this every Saturday morning. When I was older I dreamed about National Velvet. Oh! How the wind blew in my hair as I galloped around the living room when I won the Grand National on Pie! With more maturity I read about and idolized William Steinkraus. I had graduated to idolizing real people. Now at 63 my heroes are Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Charlotte Dujardin and my Mother. At a young age I did not differentiate between the real world and the made up world. Good was good, the same in a book or a movie or during school. If “it” made me feel protected, cherished or special then “it” was good. Superman never hurt a nice person. Roy Rogers only fought the evil people in the defense of the defenseless. There was a clear division between evil and good to my naïve, young mind. My intention to overcome adversity and be good at something was sparked by the story of Velvet Brown and Misty of Chincoteague. I was still stuck in the dream state of how I wanted the world to be, but I was now aware that the going would not be smooth or easy. I grew up swimming and diving competitively so I already knew that discipline and persistence was required to be ”good” at something. Swimming taught me that you could be “good” at something and still get beaten by someone faster than you. No shame; just work a little harder or longer and then you’ll be “good” and also win. I was closer to realizing the “Trouble with Heroes” but still in a dream state. As I matured from awkward teen to newly minted twenty-something with a university degree I started looking for my heroes in the real world. I was always an avid reader of books and especially books about riding. These book heroes included William Steinkraus and Alois Podhajsky. Horsemanship that was based on compassionate personal behavior towards horses and people became central to my own behavior. It wasn’t easy finding real life examples that measured up to this lofty ideal. In fact it was easier to find the example of how NOT to behave. However, I was sure that “I was better than that”. Arrogant youth, thy name was Carol. Personal Aside: I want to stop to thank my friends and family members that coped daily with my idealistic (and possibly insufferable) attitudes while on my quest for superior horsemanship. I saw myself as a kind and dedicated exponent of the equestrian arts. I must have been an insufferable and narrow-minded bore to be around. I hide behind the banner of “I Meant Well”. Thank you for sticking with me during this awkward learning phase. Let’s flash forward 45 years (or so). It was a very bumpy ride. There were quite a few real life people that at first look I would think, “Hmmm, I like what I see here; this is effective and compassionate riding”, only to later witness these same people in an all too human loss of patience and more violent use of aids. How do you know when an aid or a harsh word has crossed over from effective to abusive? This was an important question with a slippery answer. I now had trouble finding and keeping Heroes. When looking for heroes in the real world should I expect my heroes to be infallible? Was my hero bar set too high for mere mortals? Just how human will I allow my heroes to be? Good training requires a clear idea of where you are going and how you’re going to get there. However, we know every horse is different and needs different approaches to learn well. I needed examples to emulate. But who do I trust to have the right answer? Living a good life is not easy. How do I cause no harm to others while I work towards my life goals? I know there were times that I never saw the hurt I caused in others. Forgive me. Here are a Three of my Grown Up Heroes. 1. Ruth Bader Ginsberg Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Supreme Court Justice since 1993, showed me that you could be of the minority opining and still express your opinion, clearly and confidently in a quiet voice. Here was a human being that overcame life obstacles without trampling others beneath her feet. Here was someone whose opinion may have been in the minority but was justly recognized as valid. Here are two quotes that resonate with me and I carry them with me through the rough times in the saddle and out of the saddle. Ruth Bader Ginsberg: ON CRITICISM AND NOT GETTING A MAJORITY VOTE (on the Supreme Court Decision) “I’m dejected, but only momentarily, when I can’t get the fifth vote for something I think is very important. But then you go on to the next challenge and you give it your all. You know that these important issues are not going to go away. They are going to come back again and again. There’ll be another time, another day.” Ruth Bader Ginsberg: ON BEING REJECTED EARLY IN HER CAREER BY A FIRM THAT HAD ALREADY HIRED A WOMAN “You think about what would have happened … Suppose I had gotten a job as a permanent associate. Probably I would have climbed up the ladder and today I would be a retired partner. So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great good fortune.” Was she without fault? No. Ruth Bader Ginsberg acknowledged that she had spoken hastily without thinking about the consequences. In general the Supreme Court Justices are to avoid commenting on political candidates. As reported in the LA Times 9/19/2016 “Ginsburg said that she despaired for the country if Trump were elected, and she described him as egotistical, inconsistent and a “faker.” She faulted Trump for saying “whatever comes into his head at the moment,” but then acknowledged that she too had spoken without thinking about the consequences. A younger me may have said, “Well, she was a disappointment” and not value her heroic example. Now I say “Well, that is how to respond if I ever speak without thinking about the consequences”. 2. Charlotte Dujardin Charlotte Dujardin earned the hero status in my eyes by not just her words but also her actions personally and professionally. As an elite International Competitor you are under constant scrutiny. Every day cameras are poised to capture any blunder or bad training or awkward personal moment. News outlets can’t wait to offer good money for any sensational photo, however misleading, which may cause an increase in their readership. Instead there are landslides of videos on YouTube and photos in many news outlets that confirm a history of steady, quiet and cheerful riding/training/showing. I had the good fortune to witness her competing at the World Cup in Las Vegas 2015. Riders knows that training is never easy and never simple. How could Charlotte be that even tempered? How could everything she do be that easy? Answer: it wasn’t. Carl Hester (Charlottes mentor and coach) and she point out publicly that there was more than one short-tempered exchange between them during training sessions. Charlotte has had her personal problems publicly scrutinized when her long time partner Dean Wyatt, separated from her due to Charlotte’s overwhelming career demands that resulted in a lack of time and attention to her relationship with him. His very public marriage proposal after her triumph in the Rio Olympics drew (mostly) acclaim. Her entire competitive career was an important part of who she was, so he would accept her as she was as long as she made room in her life for him. Charlottes riding and competing example, year after year, showed a heroic consistency of virtues that has her at the top of my Horse Heroes List and her public acknowledgement of her personal missteps and correction of her priorities shot her to the top of my Personal Heroes List. 3. My Mother My Mother rounds out this list of heroes. She was not a Supreme Court Justice. The height of her participation in the horse world was when she carefully petted a pony over the fence. Once. Her triumph was to raise me to adulthood without murdering me in my bed. (Spoiler alert: she was provoked. Constantly.) Her success at raising two boys and a tomboy who seemed to spend all their waking hours hell-bent on pushing her buttons raises Mom’s status to Personal Hero List Topper. Instead of moving to a fancier house she made due with the fixer upper that Dad worked on in the evenings and on weekends. She was happy beyond words the year Dad put in a second bathroom. We ate meatloaf every week and ate out only once a week at the local diner, who offered dinners for fewer than five dollars. Why? So all three of her kids could go to college. Yes, Mom lost her temper. We (her charming children) would say to each other “there she goes again”. We were not very sympathetic children were we? But still, she loved us knuckleheads. Whatever we wanted to do with our lives she was behind fully. (Well, it took me until I was 16 years old to convince her that horses were not a phase.) Yes, I had to sit on papers in the car on the way home from lessons so I would not “stink up her car”. I learned perseverance from Mom. Things went badly regularly with three kids. She would yell. She would stomp around, growling about our latest transgressions. But she saw to it that her beloved family always had three things: a comfy house, good home cooked meals, and love. (Whether we wanted it or not, no matter what stupid behavior we exhibited that day.) This trifecta of unadorned life is something that happens daily in the horse world. Be like Mom and care for your horse(s) equally in the rough times as well as the easy times. Tomorrow will come. You’ll have another chance at making something good happen. I learned to valuefriends for life from Mom. Dad and the kids were a focus of her life but her sanity was in her group of friends from childhood. Her best friend from childhood continues to be my God Mother and good friend (on Facebook no less) long after my Mother went to her grave. My Mother taught me how to value these relationships by example. Honoring the horse you ride is an important part of training. Never Forget, the horse you’re riding knows whether you regard him/her as a valued friend or not. They will never forget that friendship. I learned forgiveness from my Mom. There were major upsets amongst my Mom’s family. She grieved her emotional separation from her sister long after her sister’s death. “Don’t let that happen to you,” she would say to me “Forgive what ever happens. It’s not as important as having family and friends”. My Mom’s mother was “difficult”. But several times a year we would, as a family, visited her. “Be nice. She is my mother and important to me.” She did her best to do the right thing even when “the right thing” was not always easy or even welcomed. Your ability to do “the right thing” and forgive any bad behaviour during the heat of a difficult training session will lift you to Hero status in the horse’s eyes. The many things that I learned from Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Charlotte Dujardin and my Mom, personally and professionally, follow me into the saddle when I ride today. These heroes are not idealistic constructs but people that show the way to handling our all too human feelings. They show us how to treat people and horses with more compassion and respect. Here are some thoughts from my Heroes. *Have a well thought out training plan or opinion and say it clearly and confidently. These words turn into actions (or riding) worthy of doing. *The majority of the time it’s not necessary or helpful to yell (or use rough aids). However you probably will yell from time to time. Apologize and move on. You are still a good person. *Try not to say thoughtless things (or use thoughtless aids) but if you say or do something thoughtless then apologize. You’ll get over feeling embarrassed eventually. Use the embarrassment to learn how not to be thoughtless the next time. *Offer your friendship to all you meet (or all horses you ride). It is the only correct way to deal with angry or aggressive people (or horses). There is usually sadness and hopelessness behind their anger. More anger from you will only fuel further anger. *Value the small things people (or horses) do for you. Big expensive things come with very large karma price tags you don’t want to pay. The small generosities add up to a fortune in happiness over the years. If you ignore a generous action from a person (or horse) you risk that it will never be offered again. Who are your Heroes, horse or non-horse? Why are they your Heroes? Gone are those awful days of following every new fad and fashion hoping that we would fit into the cool kids group. The heck with that nonsense. If others don’t like what you are doing, they don’t have to watch. You found your passion and along the way you have grown strong and sure of yourself. You have met some fabulous friends that you would have never met outside of the horse world. Never again will you waste your time trying to please people that don’t understand or care about you. 2. We have already learned the value of a budget Yep. Learning how to use your money wisely is part of growing up. Very few of us in the horse world have an unlimited budget. Remember that day when you realized that people admired you for cleverly finding that bargain outfit from the resale shop? (They wished they had found something like that.) You looked great and still could afford to go to the show that month (or take a lesson, or clinic with someone). “Put your money where your mouth is” doesn’t mean we should go into debt pursuing what is important to us. Wear that Calvin Klein dress from Ross Dress for Less to the banquet when you pick up your award. 3. We are experts at negotiating with our body parts Our younger selves flew unheeding into every activity that came our way. When our teachers asked us to change something about our posture or the way we reacted we were quick to say, “I just can’t do it that way”. Years of experience have taught us patience with the eye on long-term gains. We have learned that practice allows us to learn a better way to do things. We now recognize that what seems impossible to change at first, if you persist, becomes easier and easier. We no longer take our bodies taken for granted. We have learned to curate what can be done with our aging framework and have acquired a large bag of tricks that work around what truly cannot be changed about our bodies. Example: with a height of 5’3” I was never destined to be a center on the girls basketball team. Put me on a horse and I’m a force to be reckoned with. 4. We have learned that feeling stupid means you are learning By now we know that staying in your comfort zone means never improving or growing. You have to risk something to gain something. The best lessons for improvement are the lessons where you get corrected for making mistakes or pushed when you’d rather stay in your safe zone. We know that these lessons do not feel good at the time. The lesson where the instructor verbally pats you on the head and says you’re doing fine may make you feel supported but did you learn something new? Did that lesson show you that you were capable of doing more? Did that “feel good” lesson push you up to a new skill level? Probably not. Risk and Persist is your motto now. Go for it. You’ve got this. 5. We are thrilled to be living the horse life on any level Luminaries like Carl Hester and Charlotte Dujardin inspire us but most of us do not want to live their lives. We love our family, our work outside the horse world, our homes, and our children. Don’t get us wrong; we value learning important lessons from these horse idols. We apply these important lessons to our non-Olympic bound horse. These small successes are very important to us. When we feel our 12 yr. old OTTB move freely into a balanced shoulder in we are as euphoric. We won our own special Gold Medal in personal bests. These small but mighty moments with our beloved horse is why we are and will continue to be, Rocking Adult Horsewomen. The 2017 Census of the US Department of Agriculture reports Out of an estimated 2 million horse owners the majority are women in the 38 – 45 age range with a median income of $60,000. The survey indicated that a whopping 85% of the 2 million horse owners are recreational riders. An estimated 30% like to compete. Fact 2: Adult Horsewomen are Herd Animals Let’s face it. Humans are herd animals. We thrive when we feel supported by a group. We share our joy of our riding successes with our barn mates. We vent our frustrations with our barn mates. Our “Barn Herd” can be a blessing or a curse. We feel threatened and afraid when we feel rejected. A malfunctioning barn social structure can poison the joy we feel while immersed in our cherished horse life. We feel secure and satisfied when our barn mates supports and accepts us. We enjoy our barn mates while knowing that we are not exactly the same as them. Our differences make a stronger herd and make us more interesting. Many of us are Backyard Horse Owners. We spend hours of our horse time with no human barn mates around. This solitary communing with our beloved horses is soul satisfying but it can also leave us feeling separated from the rest of the horse population. Backyard barn owners join local clubs and national associations. We join their friends on group trail rides. We go to clinics and shows. We go to their lessons off property. We check their Facebook page for what their Horse Facebook Friends are doing that day and how it went for them. We post photos of our own horses doing cute/awful things for our friends to marvel at with us. We may be alone for many hours a day but we are still part of our Adult Horsewomen’s Herd. As diverse as we are, the joy we find in the horse life connects us. Fact 3: Adult Horsewomen Have Economic Power As adult horsewomen there are whole industries devoted to us. In America, the Equine Industry has a greater economic impact than motion pictures. Horse sports engage a higher proportion than other sports of people with disabilities, women participants and participants over the age of 45 and nearly 40% of those taking part in do not participate in other forms of physical activity. It’s unique as a sport in that men and women compete against each other at Olympic level with athletes aged from 18-7019 Ride with Equo: figures from 2017 Department of Agriculture When I point a finger at you there are three pointing back at me It happens to all of us. There you are, giving it your all: all your time, all your money, and all your emotional currency. But…you didn’t achieve what you expected to achieve. You did not win. You didn’t get a 60% on your dressage test. You disappointed your coach. You just can’t get that shoulder in right after a year of beating your head against that wall. Your heart and soul ache like you threw your heart against that wall 1,000 times. What did you get for your supreme effort of mind, body and soul? Nada, nothing, bupkus. Your frustration ebbs and anger floods in. You gave it your all. You were right. There must be something/somebody else at fault. Your coach didn’t explain it right. Your horse can’t seem to do it. Your friends think you aren’t talented enough. That judge just doesn’t like you. It’s their fault you’re unhappy and frustrated. Well, my friend, look closer at that hand that is pointing that finger of blame. There is one finger-pointing outward. There are three pointing back at you. This is not a cruel joke. The universe is trying to help you understand that the answer is not outside you but inside you. The universe is not blaming you (you’re the one pointing a finger of blame at someone else). The universe is showing you where to find the fix for your feelings of anger and despair. Great, fine, it’s all my fault. I’m a failure. I give up. I’ll stop trying. I’m going to take up bowling. At least I can’t hurt my bowling ball no matter how bad I am. Ahem. Take another look at that blaming hand of yours. As you assault others with the finger of blame, three fingers are saying we support you. Those fingers calmly curve towards you every time your blame finger explodes. What are those three fingers trying to say? When you fold you middle finger you acknowledge your intent of only compassionate actions in training. When you fold your ring finger you accept that you will make mistakes and that’s ok. When you fold your pinky finger you admire yourself for having the gumption to tackle a difficult problem. Those three fingers remind you that you are walking a difficult path with honor and to stay true to yourself and your horse no matter what the crisis. Notice that when you fold one back one finger the other two quickly follow. In fact it takes concentration not to fold all three together. They are stronger together. That single finger-pointing outward is brittle and lonely. Misguided. When you feel supported and hopeful the finger of blame relaxes, curls inward to join the strong three and the thumb closes the door on the ineffective blaming. Now you have a strong, supple and supportive grip on the situation. The hand is ready to flex more strongly or soften quickly at a moments notice. Whatever response is called for at the moment. Uncontrolled anger and blame result in the middle finger shooting upwards insulting everyone. You broadcast the blame to every one around you and it isolates you in your own hell. No hope, no help. Avoid the Dark Side–fold that finger back in and let the other fingers follow. You have within yourself everything it will take to turn back to a compassionate course. Riding goals and riding aids are all about flexibility, adaptability and appropriateness. The route your riding journey takes is never a straight line from beginning to end. Your ability to adapt to difficulties and avoid obstacles will get you both safely to the goal in good humor as companions, as a team. The aids you use to shape the horse’s effort must match your theme of no blame only support and guidance. Hold the reins of your life and your training with compassionate knowledge. Look for the small steps of learning to be your bridge to your larger goals. Should your journey take a detour into frustration, anger and blaming let your hand guide you back on course to a successful mindset and journey. Ask yourself the question “What does my horse need?” and you will find the help you need within yourself and with the help of others to find the answer. “stay strong through your pain grow flowers from it… however you need just bloom” — Rupi Kaur The Story of Bucephalus (Bucephalas) and Alexander The Great became a romanticized story handed down over the centuries of historical recounting and story telling. There is some uncertainty to the exact dates of Bucephalas’ birth, meeting of Alexander and Bucephalas and Bucephalas’ death. Here is what I found among the several history sources found in books and websites when you Google Bucephalas. Did Bucephalas and Alexander Really Exist? Yes. Here are the dates generally agreed upon. Bucephalas born 355 BCE died 326 BCE age 29 Alexander born 356 BCE died 323 BCE age 32 Alexander and Bucephalas met during 344 BCE Alexander was 13 or 14 years old Bucephalus was an 11 year old stallion Fun Facts about Alexander the Great (Alexander III of Macedon) Father was King Phillip II of Macedon Aristotle was Alexander’s tutor until he turned 16 Alexander succeeded his father to the throne at the age of 20 when his father was assassinated During his 13 year reign with Bucephalus as his war horse, he overthrew Persian KingDarius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety.At that point, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River. (Wikipedia) Alexander died (possibly of typhus) at the age of 32 What’s in a name? Bucephalus: bous, “ox” and κεφαλή kephalē, “head” meaning “ox-head” (wikipedia) “A massive creature with a massive head, Bucephalus is described as having a black coat with a large white star on his brow. He is also supposed to have had a “wall eye” (blue eye), and his breeding was that of the “best Thessalian strain”. Other sources conjecture that Bucephalus was a dark bay and not black. offers more information on the possible bloodline of Bucephalus. “Few horses have captured the imagination like Alexander’s horse Bucephalus. Though not much is known about him, we do know he was a dark stallion, somewhat temperamental. Though he is described as black, it is likely he was the more common standard bay, which is usually described as “black”. And though most people imagine a tall stallion, the truth is probably somewhat less grand. The best breeding of Greek horse stock took place in Thessaly, where prime existing stock was often crossed with Scythian, Persian (Nisean) and Ferghana horses. Philip of Makedon (who built on-going cavalry developments enough to be considered by many to be responsible for developing the cavalry as an effective fighting unit) is said to have imported 20.000 Scythian mares to Makedon. His son, Alexander, claimed a tribute of 50.000 Persian horses, which continued the infusion of Scythian, Nisean, Jaf, Ferghana and possibly Caspian and other blood into the Makedonian horses. Since the Persian Arab is thought to have been introduced into Persia around 2000 BC, it is likely that this bloodline was included. Few of these horses were tall by modern standards, averaging 13.2 – 14.2 hands, with the possible exception of the Ferghana crosses and some of the Iberian stock. We know that the Iberian horses mentioned by Homer were famed for their movement, size and spirit; the Nisean horses were known for speed and stamina, the Ferghana was noted for stamina, endurance and the ability to withstand hard conditions in desert lands. Along with imported stock, Philip had access to the native breeds such as the Pindos, Skyros, Pineias, Messara and Andravidas, horses known to be small but tough. Looking at the stock Philip used in breeding programs, one can easily imagine a hardy horse with stamina, endurance and longevity. It was from these bloodlines that Bucephalus may have been bred, in the fertile pastures of Thessaly.” Fun Fact: Horses at that time were shorter. This made “leaping lightly up” with out a saddle a little easier especially when you are in a tunic and underwear (loincloth) was not common and tunics were common. “Bucephalus was brought to Macedonia and presented to King Phillip II (Alexander’s father) in 346 BCE by Philoneicus of Thessaly. With a price tag almost three times the norm (13 talents), the beautiful black horse stood taller than the normal Macedonian steed but was considered too wild and unmanageable, rearing up against anyone who came near him. Phillip ordered him led away. But Alexander bargained with his father for the horse. When Alexander successfully rode Bucephalas in front of his father and the crowd of attendants, Alexander demonstrated the true character of one of the greatest generals in all of history.” What happened when Alexander and Bucephalus met? Here is one account: “Feeling the bit gently with the reins, he (Alexander) restrained him (Bucephalas), without whipping or hurting him, until he saw that the horse had given up all threatening behavior, and was only hot for the course; then he let him go, and urged him on by raising his voice and using his heel. The attendants of Philip (Alexander’s father) were anxious and silent at first; but when he turned and came back full of just pride and pleasure, they all raised a cheer, except his father. But he, they say, wept for joy; and after Alexander had dismounted, said, ‘You must go look for a kingdom to match you, my son; Macedonia is not large enough for you.’ Quote from Plutarch recounted in the book The Art of Horsemanship translated and edited by M.H. Morgan. Page 101. “Bucephalus and Alexander were inseparable; only Alexander could ride him, and indeed he did, into every battle from the conquest of the Greekcity-states and Thebes through Gaugamela and into India. After the final defeat of Darius, Bucephalus was kidnapped while Alexander was away on excursion. Upon returning and learning of the theft, Alexander promised to fell every tree, lay the countryside to waste, and slaughter every inhabitant in the region. The horse was soon returned along with a plea for mercy. Although historians disagree on the cause of the horse’s death – some claim he died from battle wounds – most agree he died of old age after the Battle of Hydaspes River (326 BCE). While Plutarch spoke of both possible causes of death, he cites Onesicritus, a historian who accompanied Alexander on his conquests, as stating the horse died of old age. However Bucephalus died, in mourning, Alexander founded a city in his beloved horse’s memory and named it Bucephala. It is also interesting that Alexander built another city after his favorite dog Peritas.” “Others debate that Bucephalus was of a younger age and died of severe battle wounds he received at the Battle of the River Hydaspes, 326 BCE. What is known, however, is that Alexander gave him a state funeral and founded a new city, Bucephala (now modern day Jhelum/Djemoul) in Bucephalus’ honor.” This list is for books that I consider Riding Manuals. The “How To” of the book world. This is not a complete list of books that I find valuable. These are the ones that are the most dog eared and highlighted ones in my library. In the future I will talk about “Art Book” types of horse books. Maybe you have suggestions on books that you value? Tell me your recommendations in the comments below. 1.The Complete Training of Horse and Rider By Alois Podhajsky This was my first serious book on riding that I owned. My parents gave it to me when I was 19 years old for Christmas (It was at the top of my Christmas list). Eva Podhajsky and Colonel V.D.S. Williams translated this English language edition from the original German. This basic riding manual has chapters that are well organized for looking up a topic of interest i.e. the principles of training, definitions of the aids, lunging the horse, lunging the rider, information on saddles and bridles plus a section on The Spanish Riding School. The text is enlivened with 38 photographs of famous horse and riders as well as examples of horses in various stages of training. The line drawings of schooling figures and rider positions make clear the discussion in text on the subject. This is a manual with advice that has stood the test of time. 2. Riding Logic by Wilhelm Müseler Dorita Konyot recommended this book as a very succinct and useful manual. First translated to English from the original German in 1937 and now in its fifth edition. Chapters are also well organized with titles such as: “How does the rider learn to sit?” and “How does the rider learn to feel?” as well as “How does the rider learn to influence?” With 90 pictures and illustrations of every topic this riding manual gives the reader a clear example of each topic of interest. Simply paging through the pages and inspecting the photographs or illustrations will spark a further study into the topic. 3. Complete Horse Riding Manual by William Micklem In 2003 I was asked to have a photo shoot at my farm. The result was a cover photo of a student cantering a horse in training on my neighbor’s Lake Nellie beach. This 400-page manual modernized the riding manual by using colorful graphic blocks, pie charts, flow charts and comparison chart grids to organize valuable information. Topics covered range from advice to beginner riders on how to grasp the basics of riding (and safety) to mastering advanced techniques in dressage, show jumping, cross-country. Advice on mental and physical preparation for the rider as well as trouble shooting grids offer easy to find and understand help for riders of all levels. William Micklem is a highly regarded international equestrian coach and trainer now famous for the invention of the popular Micklem Bridle. 4. Advanced Techniques of Riding the Official Instruction Handbook of the German National Equestrian Federation This slim book is another go-to riding manual favorite of mine. The line drawings and succinct text are separated into three sections; dressage, jumping and cross-country. The first section is a short History of the Art of Riding. This manual is good book for quick reference and solid advice. 5. Basic Training of the Young Horse by Reiner Klimke The year I opened my training business and took in horses to put under saddle I bought this book. Paging through the volume I see that I have highlighted parts throughout the little volume. How you start a horse will determine how the rest of his/her life will go. It’s important to do it right. Read this book. Think about what Reiner says about training the young horse. You won’t regret it. 6. Cavaletti by Ingrid and Reiner Klimke I still have the original Cavaletti book written by Reiner Klimke published in English in 1969, which I purchased as a paperback book in 1983. This new version published in 2011 expands on the original book with photographs on every page. There are many exercises and tips that are easy to incorporate into daily training. When I bought the first little book I spent the whole year setting up the cavaletti as shown in the book and using them with every horse in training as well as in lessons. The new version is a great guide and a joy to read. 7. Teaching Exercises by Major Anders Lindgren I was fortunate to ride in clinics with Major Lindgren in 1990’s at Tina Drake’s Pas de Cheval farm in Sorrento, Fl. Over a ten-year period almost 1000 participating instructors learned from Major Lindgren’s systematic, structured approach to teaching dressage. He greatly impacted and improved my teaching skills. This book clearly presents and defines developmental exercises to be used specifically from Training Level through Second Level. Small but mighty, this book should be in every rider’s library. 8. Balance in Movement by Susanne von Dietze Do you want more in depth and technical about developing an educated and influential seat on a horse? Well, then, add this book to your library. The latest edition of this popular book features 250 full-color images. Susanne von Dietze is a physiotherapist, riding instructor, and active dressage competitor. I needed more specific information if I was to improve my seat and overcome some “aging in the saddle” problems that were cropping up in my 60’s. There is an accompanying DVD (buy separately) for even more help. 9. Dressage in Harmony by Walter Zettl I had the honor of auditing several clinics by Walter Zettl and immediately purchased this book. This comprehensive training manual with its helpful line drawings covers everything from The Seven Elements of Riding (the Training Scale) to Schooling Figures to Piaffe and Passage. The tone of this book reflects the tone of the man. His Chapter 2 is The Goals of Dressage Riding whose sections are titled; Harmony, Why Dressage is Difficult, How the Horse Learns, The Nature of the Rider, and Trust and Respect. The manual offers valuable information with an emphasis on compassionate horsemanship. . 10. On the Art of Horsemanship by Xenophon This book earns a place in every rider’s library if only to remind us that the tenants of horsemanship (or as Xenophon writes, horseman’s art) are centuries old. This first extant treatise on horsemanship is short but remarkably applicable to today. There are a few translations from the original Greek to English to choose from. Xenophon instructs on varied topics such as; how to mount properly (without a saddle because saddles were not invented until 365 AD), how to select a good horse, who should break young horses (young men because old men should be looking after family and government), to the grooming, feeding and care of the horse. Xenophon’s overarching theme is “be kind to your horse and he will do as you desire”. I was a horse crazy, horseless pre teen growing up on the outskirts of The Main Line of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My young nose was pressed up against the window watching the horse community but I could not participate. My parents were sure that my horse obsession was “just a phase”. To be fair the household budget was stretched thin just providing my two brothers and myself all the advantages they already deemed necessary for our successful upbringing. We were groomed to be successful, literate members of society. Accordion lessons (Dad had a friend who played accordion in a pub, plus it was cheaper than buying a piano), clarinet lessons (Dad idolized Benny Goodman), chorus, drama club, swimming and diving teams (summer and winter league), soccer, football, marching band, economics club, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Junior Achievement, all while maintaining an A or B average in school. Horses were not part of the plan. Lucky for me the horse community was covered in local newspapers and magazines as part of the Society Pages. I would read any article with any mention of the horse community. I would moon over the black and white photograph of any horse; I daydreamed of skillfully guiding a big, powerful horse around a show jumping course in the Wanamaker Oval to thunderous applause. I distinctly remembered that the spectators were applauding not because I won the trophy but they were applauding my skill and horsemanship. Where did I learn to value horsemanship over winning when I was not even riding yet? The examples were reported in the newspaper features and the colorful magazine inserts in the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer. Top riders were quoted extolling the respect and skill needed to ride horses successfully. It took a person of strong moral character and humility to be a good horseman or woman, they reminded all readers. That was a fact printed in black and white in the Inquirer. I believed it. William Steinkraus repeatedly appeared in print both newspapers and books on riding. His riding skill and horsemanship was held up as the example of good horsemanship. Fifty-seven years later I am reading the same tributes to William Steinkraus on Facebook. George Morris wrote a February 2008 article for “The Chronicle of the Horse” titled “Bill Steinkraus’ Two Dozen Useful Aphorisms”. The wisdom in these “useful aphorisms” stood the test of time and was republished in The Chronicle on December 13, 2013. At the close of the article George Morris wrote “Aren’t Bill Steinkraus’ aphorisms wonderful? They are little gems, pearls of wisdom that keep you on the right track. That’s why I had to share them with you.” In my formative years I learned that a Good Horseman or Horsewoman Never lost their temper Always treated their horse with respect and patience Never cursed or acted crudely to anyone whether they were groom or a society maven Never blamed their horse for mistakes Learned to lose gracefully Always sincerely congratulated the winner Took time to encourage the younger riders follow their example I was not so naïve to think that the uglier side of human nature did not exist. Every day I witnessed examples of cruelty to man and beast. I aspired to be a better human being just like my horse world heroes. I knew if I just followed their example I would become a respected horseperson also. Winning ribbons and trophies was secondary to displaying good horsemanship. This picture of Bill Steinkraus and Fleet Apple gliding over a huge jump makes riding well look easy. The horse looks confident and unstressed. The elastic and balanced harmony the pair displayed is ideal. Here was proof that this harmony between rider and horse was achievable by anyone with the self-discipline and the persistence to practice. Here is a slide show of William Steinkraus riding other horses over the years. I salute my childhood idol who influenced me and many others. You stand the test of time. William Steinkraus October 12, 1925 – November 29, 2017 After developing your daily Riding Lesson Plan*, the next step to success is to keep a Training Journal. It takes a half hour to set up your journal and then 10 minutes after your ride to make an entry. There is a massive success return on your minimal time investment. Here is how to do it. Step 1. Buy a notebook and a pen that can live in your tack trunk Set up a word doc on you computer/mobile device Utilize the United States Dressage Federation HART online journaling program (membership required) Step 2. Set up your First Page in your journal** Picture of your fabulous steed Description i.e. Color, breed, height, weight, age sex List what skills the horse has now i.e. Walk, trot, canter, leg yield, shoulder-in etc. State what skills you want to develop in the next year State any hard goals for the year i.e. Attend a Clinic, Compete at Schooling Show, Compete at Recognized Show, show the next level Step 3. Write a brief synopsis of your ride before you leave the barn.** Keep this synopsis brief. Three to five sentences Be accurate. Limit your observations to training skills or goals Make helpful comments. “I sucked” is not helpful. Include lameness, heat/swelling, illnesses or track mare’s estrus cycles, and medications Step 4. Review your notes monthly to reassess your training goals. As you succeed in one goal, write a ‘congrats to me’ statement Set a new training goal Important Thoughts about Journaling It is key to make a short list of reasonable goals and skills (five-eight). Ask your instructor for help in making this list. The goals change as you progress in your training program, add new goals as you conquer the original goal/skill. To be successful you must be clear about your priorities and you need to communicate them with your trainer so you both are on the same page. Stay focused on your planned goals. Veering from the lesson plan in response to a horse’s action may derail your development. Many times your plan already addresses the problem. In many instances by improving that skill (shoulder-in?) you will overcome the distraction (spooking?). Chasing after a distraction will have you feeling unprepared and overwhelmed. Stay the course. Your trainer will help you decide when to adjust your program. What should these goals and skills be? The United States Dressage Federation defines Dressage as a system of training that makes the horse a happy partner and athlete. This system starts at Introductory Level and builds up to Grand Prix. Each level has a list of skills associated with that level. The front of each score sheet states The Purpose of This Level. This statement clarifies what is being judged and rewarded during a judged test. Download the score sheets (click here for Intro, click here for training – fourth, click here for FEI score sheets). Use these statements of purpose of the level to set your training goals. Study the test. Each box describes a section of the test that is scored. Next to that description are the Directive Ideas. This box tells you what the judging priorities are for that movement. Use these directive ideas to set specific training goals. If you don’t understand the directive ideas, ask your trainer to explain them! Videos of the test movements are available on USDF.org in the University tab (membership required). Look at examples of what well-ridden tests look like and then decide what you need to improve. This will be part of your list of skills in your journal. The test also has coefficients of x 2 to a couple boxes. This means that that movement is weighted heavier and therefore you should pay extra attention to that movement during your training sessions. Make sure you include those skills in your training journal. The bottom of the score sheet has Collective Remarks with 4 or more boxes. Understand each collective remark box and include work on each of those boxes every ride. The rider position box is especially important. When you (and your trainer) work on your position and the use of your aids every day the training gets easier. Your horse will enjoy your improved skill and balance. After each ride, sit down on your tack trunk (or in your lounge or in your car) and write the date; then write 3 – 5 sentences about the ride. “I sucked” is not a helpful comment. Start by being accurate with your observations. Limit the comments to your stated training skills or goals. “Our canter departs were more uphill today after working on the walk/trot transitions” is an accurate and helpful comment. If you make a mistake you can state it but you must immediately state how you will avoid that mistake the next ride i.e. “I hung on my inside rein during shoulder-in today. Tomorrow I will practice releasing the inside rein during shoulder-in and focus on the feel in my inside leg to outside instead”. Make entries in you Training Journal every ride, every time, and immediately after the ride while its fresh in your mind. You may think, “Oh, I’ll remember this. I’ll write it later”. No, you are going to forget or get things confused. Write it down. Now. Health issues are sometimes related to stress or overtraining. Training should never degrade a horse’s health. Training should help a horse “bloom” with health and happiness. Schooling shoulder in can improve balance and strength. However schooling shoulder intensely for 20 minutes can and will make the horse muscle sore as a result the horse will be reluctant to do more of them. Limit your schooling on demanding movements to three efforts each side. Go home and think about your tactics, then return the next day when both you and your horse are both fresh. Present the movement again, not as a punishment but as a fun learning experience. Riders have a tendency to focus on what they can’t do yet and take for granted what you do well. This negative attitude will soon lead to a sour or nervous training session. Your daily lesson program uses the warm up and the first work session to reinforce the correct and comfortable geometry or movements. This builds the horse’s confidence and prepares the horse for the more demanding exercises to come in the lesson plan. Never ride a difficult movement when the warm up/first exercise shows the horse to be able to move freely forward in a rhythmic and steady gait. Instead make the second exercise in the Lesson Plan a movement or simple geometry that will encourage the horse to relax on the rider’s aids and become more rhythmic and steady in tempo. Do you need help identifying what’s wrong and how to fix it? Go to the Dressage Training Pyramid. Now ask yourself: Did your horse move in a steady and correct rhythm? I.e. a clear two beat trot, a steady four beat walk or a three beat canter with a “pause”. Feel for the beat and listen to the sound of the footfalls for the rhythm. Did your horse move forward in an energetic and steady tempo? I.e. could you sing a happy marching tune to the tempo of the walk/trot/canter? Did your horse move forward in a relaxed, elastic and supple way? I.e. was the horse tense and stiff as a board? Did your horse reach forward to accept/seek contact with your hand? I.e. was the horse stiff in the jaw or neck and run through your hand or did the horse evade contact by ducking his chin towards his chest? Did your horse move forward with good impulsion? I.e. did you feel like you had enough energy to the trot that you could easily jump a small cross rail or did you feel like you were practicing for a western jog? Did your horse feel straight? I.e. were his shoulders falling in or were your horse’s haunches angled to the inside of the track? Did your horse feel collected? I.e. did you feel your horse gather his haunches under you? Did the forehand feel lighter and more uphill? Could you feel your horse move in self-carriage? By identifying what part of the Dressage Training Pyramid was lacking you can decide how to improve it using your schooling figures or movements that relate to that issue. For example, if you decide that your horse trotted in an unsteady tempo you could set up some cavaletti to regulate the tempo or use a metronome to set the correct tempo (there is a phone app for that!). Another example: you decide that your horse is not reaching out the correct contact with the hand. You then decide to school the stretchy circle exercise (where you practice signaling the horse to reach out to contact and then down lower as if he/she were going to graze). To sum up, keeping a Training Journal: Allows you to identify reasonable goals for the short term and the longer term so you know where you are going. Uses the Daily Lesson Plan for achieving reasonable goals Keeps you focused on a system of correct training Keeps you from continuing to make the same mistakes every day Allows you to trouble shoot problems before they get to be habits Reminds you of the progress you have already made Keeps track of all important health and welfare issues You get all these advantages for a modest amount of time and thoughtfulness. Ride smarter. Use your time wisely. Enjoy the process of training not just the end goal. Make training fun for your horse and yourself; then you both will be happy athletes. My early riding efforts were (forgive the pun) “seat of the pants” riding. You rode around walking, trotting and cantering until something didn’t go right; then you fixed it. Dorita structured that training session until it became intuitive when to stop, when to go on with the exercise and how to decide what exercise to train. Then I attended a clinic with Major Anders Lindgren; eye opening and addictive! I had always kept a training journal but this was fantastic! Major Lindgren was a pivotal influence in the development of United States dressage instruction. In 2003 Major Lindgren was inducted into the Roemer Foundation/USDF Hall of Fame. Over a ten-year period, almost 1,000 participating instructors learned from his systematic, structured approach to teaching dressage at the USDF Violet Hopkins National Seminars. Major Lindgren gave a classroom session on how to be a good teacher. The Sample Lesson plan was projected onto the screen at the front of the living room we were gathered and he broke it all down for us. I was amazed. I was naïve. Dorita Konyot taught me to train but Major Lindgren taught me how to teach. Here is what I saw on that screen: Holy Cow! It was all spelled out and diagramed! When I rode for Major Lindgren, I felt what it was to be taught in the Lesson Plan format. He practiced what he preached. His delivery was calm and organized. He expected you to ride precisely what he told you to ride. Slyly humorous and exhaustively demanding I loved every criticism. I grew and matured as a rider, trainer and a teacher—and not without a few tears of frustration. It was totally worth it. What instructor had the greatest impact on how you teach?

- Prachi Singh | In the three month period ended December 31, 2018, Compagnie Financière Richemont SA said that with the consolidation of YNAP and Watchfinder regrouped for the first time under the newly created Online Distributors business area, group sales grew by 24 percent to 3,915 million euros (4,511 million dollars) at constant exchange and by 25 percent at actual exchange. Excluding YNAP and Watchfinder, sales rose by 6 percent at actual exchange rates and by 5 percent at constant exchange rates. The company added that YNAP posted double digit-growth across all regions, Watchfinder’s sales expanded moderately. Sales over the nine month period to December increased by 23 percent at actual exchange rates and by 24 percent at constant exchange rates. Excluding YNAP and Watchfinder, sales for the nine month period rose by 6 percent at actual exchange rates and by 7 percent at constant exchange rates. Richemont grew sales across most core markets in Q3 Richemont said, sales grew in all regions, with the exception of the Middle East and Europe. During the latter part of the quarter, sales in Europe were affected by social unrest in France, which negatively impacted tourism and led to store closures for six consecutive Saturdays. The disposal of Lancel in June 2018 also weighed on the year-on-year comparison. A 10 percent increase in sales in Asia Pacific reflected double-digit sales growth in mainland China and good increases in other main markets, while sales growth in Hong Kong slowed, due to the strength of the Hong Kong dollar versus the renminbi that resulted in lower tourist spending. Sales in the Americas rose by 9 percent, benefitting from good performance by the jewellery maisons and the other business area. In Japan, a 7 percent expansion in sales was driven by continued domestic and tourist spending as well as the impact of newly opened directly operated boutiques. Unfavourable currency movements and a strong basis of comparison weighed on sales in the Middle East and Africa, which decreased by 13 percent over the period. The retail channel posted a 5 percent increase in sales, with growth slowing in December due to temporary store closures in France and a strong comparative base for high jewellery. The wholesale channel registered a 1 percent growth in sales, reflecting ongoing cautious watch inventory management and distribution optimisation initiatives.

The Snake River The Snake River begins above the town of Montezuma near the Continental Divide. Until recently, local mining projects destroyed the ecosystem of the Snake; however, local efforts are restoring the Snake to a fishable habitat. Keystone Resort annually stocks the Snake, so anglers can usually find numerous trout. Little Need to “Match the Hatch” We classify the Snake River as an artificial fishery; however, there is little need to “match the hatch” when fishing here. General attractor patterns are standard fare. A few holdover trout from past stocking programs are available to test the skills of even the most skilled angler. We suggest you focus your effort on a more traditional trout stream such as the Colorado or the Blue; however, if you are limited on time and need a quick trout fix, the Snake is a great choice. Wading the Snake is very easy (runoff being the exception). Anglers can fish through much of Keystone Resort and the inlet of the Snake into Lake Dillon. The inlet attracts big trout from the lake throughout the season, and is the best section to catch a trophy trout.

Once upon a time, I hated sweet potatoes. I mean really hated them. To me a potato wasn’t supposed to be sweet and quite frankly they made me gag. I was a bit of a weirdo. I bet if they weren’t called potatoes, I probably wouldn’t have had such an issue – I clearly got caught up on the way things were supposed to taste and a sweet potato did NOT taste like a potato. I had similar qualms with other foods too: - I only liked yellow mustard. Honey mustard, Dijon mustard, spicy mustard, etc. all were awful to me. Thank goodness I got over this! - Dill pickles all the way. Bread & Butter or gherkins were a no go (okay, this qualm still exists…I really only like dill pickles). At least I’ll now eat homemade pickles Anyways, now back to my story…one day, someone ordered fresh sweet potato chips with a side of aioli and the rest is history. I was hooked. Deep fry those puppies and give me a kick-butt sauce to dip them in and I’m sold! Since then, I have come to love sweet potatoes in multiple forms (all except that classic casserole with the marshmallows…I just can’t do it). Chips, fries, mashed, baked, etc. I have to credit my love of sweet potatoes to the condiment that started it all: Aioli. And here’s my favorite recipe! (Here’s a little tip, pulverize it a little more and it becomes homemade mayonnaise you can wow your friends with). - 1 fresh garlic clove, minced - Juice from 1 lemon - 1/8 tsp. granulated sugar - 1/2 tsp. sea salt - 1/4 tsp. white pepper - 2 large egg yolks - 3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil - 1/8 tsp. paprika Throw garlic, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolks in a food processor and give it a quick blend. With the food processor still running, slowly pour the olive oil in and process until blended and becoming thick. Season with paprika and serve immediately with some sweet potato fries or grilled veggies.

This blog post IMO ignores some fundamentals facts about SE - The site is "elitist" by its very own design: Best questions, Best answers. It's not an bug, it's a feature. - The site is much different from chats, reddit, and other forums as it is not meant primarily for discussions and this causes misunderstandings with new users. - New users who don't read the rules and jump right in may be more likely to take personal offence when the rules are tersely pointed out or questions closed. - In any fields we only hear the squeaky wheels. - Inevitably on all SE sites it will become more and more difficult and frustrating to find good questions that haven't been asked in one form or another. Unless someone comes forward with examples of clear hostility that is not dealt with (especially sexist and racist one as the article implies) I'd rather apply Hitchens's Razor, and a variant of Hanlon's Razor. Hitchens's Razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence" There are no proof provided, just claims (hearsay) of complaints by newcomers. Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d̶i̶t̶y̶ having to constantly deal with people not reading the rules. And yes, this is the internet: there are A-holes! A few easily banned bad-apples doesn't demonstrate a rampant problem. A few jerks doesn't mandate we all start walking on egg-shells and post with little <3 to not hurt the very most sensitives who might not feel welcome enough. ( <--- following the EVP of Culture and Experience's example. Don't hate: It wouldn't be very welcoming of you.) We won't be able to get anything done right if we have to do all this to not accidentally hurt someone's feeling. From the post itself: And we're all unpaid volunteer: I feel (see how this works?) that it's borderline entitled of SO to demand (and I feel it's a demand, and you can't question the validity of my feelings, no you're not allowed to. "you're done.") we be more welcoming without even any objective proof of an major rampant problem. Especially compared to the total number of users, questions, and answers. And I feel the in my post are warranted to drive the point. -Reductio ad absurdum If his blog post is to be the example to follow and all feelings have to be considered valid without questioning as is argued for in EVP of Culture and Experience's blog post. This whole "feelings" thing is a downward spiral ripe for abuse where disingenuous people will just bully others by cries and complaints and we'll all be dealing with more drama than is worth. Good people will leave because who wants to deal with all that drama? (Other than other drama-addicts).

Ljubljana, 10 March (STA) - A blueprint of changes to legislation regulating insolvency proceedings unveiled by the Justice Ministry on Wednesday aims to make proceedings more efficient by giving district courts universal jurisdiction in bankruptcy proceedings. Amendments to the financial operations, insolvency proceedings and compulsory dissolution act also envisages a chamber of official receivers, whose membership would be obligatory. Justice Ministry State Secretary Bostjan Skrlec said the solution would guarantee better quality and oversight of receivers' work. Those wanting to obtain a licence will have to have served at least two years' apprenticeship. The changes specify in greater detail receivers' bonuses. "The services the official receiver is eligible to charge extra are clearly defined as are those in the scope of his duties," Skrlec said, adding that this would make bonuses more transparent and protect bankruptcy assets. Universal jurisdiction for bankruptcy proceedings at district courts would considerably disburden local courts in execution proceedings and at the same time increase the efficiency of insolvency proceedings, Skrlec said. Due to criticism that courts have been applying different practice in deciding about legal means in insolvency proceedings, the ministry is proposing delegating second-instance cases to the Ljubljana District Court. The court already gets more than half of all appeal cases in these proceedings. Court clerks are to be entrusted with simple procedural acts in insolvency proceedings, while the amendments also create the legal framework for electronic communication with lawyers and official receivers, which is to help save money and speed up proceedings. Head of the task force the justice minister appointed last autumn to draw up the changes, Nina Plavsak, said the most important change in civil bankruptcy is giving individuals the option to start up new business while bankruptcy proceedings are still under way. The motion does not bring major changes in the chapter on creditors, but only improvements, such as the option of calling meetings of creditor committees in locations outside the seat of the court in charge of the proceedings. The amendments to the 2008 act are part of the legislative package envisaged in the government exit strategy. The law has been amended twice so far, including to improve the situation of workers and to increase oversight of the debtor. The motion is now being presented to other governmental departments for comment and a public consultation period will take place.

Jasper Brown Architects is based in Brisbane, Australia. Our studio is located in the Metro Arts building in the city centre. The majority of our work is in the residential, multi-residential, retail and small commercial sectors. We also undertake design research for larger scale public buildings and urban spaces by carrying out our own speculative projects and participating in architectural competitions. Our goal is to create innovative and sustainable contemporary architecture for our clients, which transcends their expectations and becomes an enduring delight to occupy. For each project we prefer to collaborate with our clients from inception to completion, overseeing operations on site to ensure that our buildings are constructed in accordance with both the agreed design intent and level of detail. As well as working in and around Brisbane, we have also completed designs up and down the eastern seaboard of Australia, from Mission Beach in north Queensland to Bega in southern New South Wales. Additionally we have completed several residential projects in the UK. The design of residential architecture is a particular focus in our work, and the goal of the compact, energy efficient, cost-effective dwelling is a recurring preoccupation for the practice. The prevailing landscape, topography and climate of suburban Brisbane is a rich testing ground for the design development of projects in pursuit of this ambition. Our working method typically involves the production of several physical models and hand sketches to test and communicate our initial ideas, which are then developed using BIM computer technology. Throughout this process we remain mindful of detailed brief requirements and budget constraints. Jasper is a registered architect in both Queensland and the United Kingdom. He has gained over 15 years experience in the offices of leading architectural practices in London, Brisbane and Germany.

Taken from an article by majestic.com we have been reviewing our directory profiles. This is what sparked it off: “I wanted to go into a step by step guide on how to find golden local backlinks and citations opportunities, using the power of Majestic and in this particular case study using some examples from the Semantic Mastery crew thanks to Hernan who is a big part of the team.” In our case we used SEOquake. Building backlinks for local SEO doesn’t have to be hard, time consuming yes! but this guide will help. Firstly before we waffle on, you may just be here for the directories, in which case we will list them first:

Ever since the day I knew I was going to married to my beloved, I had a sudden interest in me like most brides-to-be in frantically looking for my dream outfit, jewellery and just about everything bridal. To be totally honest, it was only during this time that I started looking at and showing keen interest with regards to jewellery. Prior to this I could care less about any Indian Gold jewellery. I was happy to wear what Mom had and sometimes even thought wearing ‘gold jewellery’ to occasions was so ridiculous! I loved (and still love) random high street jewellery and Mom had always told me that one day when I grow up I will feel silly for ‘wasting’ money on worthless jewellery. Only if I had stopped and given a thought about it then. But I was young and couldn’t care less about the future. Anyway so since I have been looking at jewellery, these are some of my favourite and to-die-for pieces of jewellery for me. These Temple jewellery top my favourite jewellery category list. Made by Kemp stones (un-cut polished stones in Red and Green) and pearls which was traditionally graced to the Hindu idols (Gods and Goddess) which later was adopted by the then Maharajas and Maharanis and the other courtiers. It was also used by the Indian dancers (Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi etc) to perform within the Hindu temples. Hence the name Temple jewellery. I love the traditional and ethnic side to it. Defiantly bridal!! Polki and Kundan Ok some of the pictures above many not exactly be ‘antique’ but probably a modern version from the Mughal era? So I was wondering if Kundan and Polki are two different types but it basically happens to be the same kind. So the polki is with diamond stone or what they call ‘uncut diamond’ (which is obviously more expensive!) and kundan is made of semi-precious stones (which may be slightly cheaper). Anyway I this is so sophisticated and yes! I love it too! 😉 I cannot have enough of it. So the rest are Meenakari (enamelling with stones) and Thewa (which is more like a TanJore painting). Although these come from the Maharaja or the Mughal era with intricate details, they do not top my list of favourites. But of course if DH decides to buy me one, I will not refuse! Lol. I might be missing a few more I suppose?! Anyway this is my list. So if you’ve been to the jewellers with your parents or elders then have you been in a situation like me where you absolutely fallen these jewellery yet you have been refused because of ‘oh, they don’t have resell value’? Lol. But aren’t these antique jewellery just so gorgeous? I have been lucky to have been given some from my Mom, grandparents, in-laws my lovely Aunt and DH also buying me something antique and traditional as a wedding present which values more to me with all love and respect.xx

Our youngest was not yet one year when he started holding on to things and toddling about. The other two children were coming into their individual personalities. And guess what? It was time for us to move once again. So from 4th Street we moved to Euclid Street, right between Broadway and Colorado. Also I would change my job. Briefly to explain, a new manager hired from outside our current staff came into the Banquet Room changing things entirely and re-staffing with people he brought in. I wasn’t exactly excited about the changes and so I went from the Hotel Miramar to the Santa Ynez Inn. This new work location was a bit further away from home. It was up Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) a bit, on Sunset Boulevard just below the SRF Lake Shrine Temple which by the way was and still is, a very beautiful and peaceful spot for contemplation, slowing down and catching one’s breath –if you’re into that sort of thing. I’m thinking Diana and I should’ve spent more time there. Many movie stars frequented the Lake Shrine, getting away from the hectic flow of their daily lives and writers too. Anyhow I got along so well with everyone at the Santa Ynez Inn; they really liked me, it was plain to see. A Jewish family -the owners- were very kind and generous and occasionally allowed me to occupy one of the rooms when the working night had become too late. I’d of course call Diana and let her know. At the end of our shifts we were all given a meal if we wanted it. For me I was allowed anything from the bar if it was the overnight stay. I gratefully would enjoy only one ice cold beer with my dinner. You know if it wasn’t a full moon, the drive was dark down the lonely coast and after such a busy shift, this journey just felt that much longer than it did going to work. Breakfast came along with the offer; I was encouraged to ask for anything. Although it wasn’t often, I quickly got used to a thick, juicy steak! Another thing they trusted to me was playing chauffeur to some of their special weekend guests. They provided me the additional opportunity to earn even more, that was real nice. Yes I wore a cap and the uniform. One day Diana and I were discussing getting Alok baptized. She said it would be nice to find godparents for him if we could. My first two children (with Diana) were already baptized but they didn’t get godparents in the deal. When I went to work I mentioned in casual conversation to my manager George, that my wife and I had been discussing Alok’s baptism. I said we had no idea how or who to appoint this important position to. He and I had easily become pretty good friends. George listened keenly and then much to my surprise, he offered to take the position, saying, “…well, I’d be extremely honored to be your son’s godfather.” Since I was with Diana I had become accustomed to more Catholic ideals though I remained true to my Hindu religion in my heart. Being entirely honest with you my followers, since I’d been away from home in Fiji for so long and away from my family, I wasn’t as devout in my worship. I didn’t forget my roots to be sure. And being a part of my wife’s explorations of life made my Diana happy: well why not get educated in as many things as possible? I told Diana of George’s offer and she was pleased with this news. She thought it was a real wonderful thing he did to volunteer and she happily agreed. We baptized Alok shortly after George’s acceptance in the local Catholic church which we’d begun attending. George had come with his wife and daughter and it was clear, they took this very seriously. It was all very touching for Diana and myself and Alok was now blessed with a caring godfather. The five of us frequented the beach whenever possible, no surprise, a love of ocean. I remember there were hotdog trucks (and the like being beach finger foods) and we both enjoyed the fun of that. We shared these treats with our kids as part of the whole experience. My eldest boy ate his with no fuss and enjoyed drinking from his carton of milk. The baby was neutral with baby snacks, a bottle and maybe a bite or two here and there. Then there is our daughter. She’s a finicky one (still is). If there was something she didn’t like she’d watch and wait. Then she’d hide it somewhere. We didn’t realize this at first; I was amazed to see she’d eaten her hotdog and was smiling while sipping her milk. I’d say to Diana, ‘Look she’s finished it completely!’ We were both pleased, knowing how she could be. When it was time to move on, we’d gather up everything of course and then, discover the unconsumed hotdog she had hidden. We were five; my family I made here in America, with the help of Diana of course, felt real good.

Starting a little late, so, I’ll include a couple here to start trying to catch up. Day 1 – A – I’m thankful for the institution of ADOPTION. I have so very much to be thankful for! My wife, my job, the team of people I teach with, friends, and family! Actually, to list them all like I just did seems to diminish the significance of each one and make it sound just like a general, cliché statement, but, I can assure you that I meant each part of it sincerely and thoroughly. But, the fact is that I was born to a mother who was not mentally fit to care for a child and, while I don’t know all of the specific details, God worked through the woman who would eventually become my aunt, Lori Naylor, to get in touch with the woman and man (Ceil Scutt and James A. Rockwell) who would eventually become my mom and dad. I was born in March of 1976 in Susquehanna, PA, but, by April of ’76 I was settled at home in Whitney Point, NY and by June it became official. Because of my biological mother’s decision to put me up for adoption and my Aunt Lori‘s willingness to step in and care for me until my mom and dad stepped forward to adopt me, I am who I am today, thankful. Day 2 – B – I’m thankful for BEAUTY. At 40, I’ve lived long enough to realize that beauty isn’t to be taken for granted. There is so, so much pain in this world – all of it rooted in sin – some level of God’s design twisted and contorted to the advantage of somebody’s selfish desire that leaves some level of pain in its wake. So many people are hurting due to racial tensions, hunger, sickness, grief, and stresses that we were never designed to carry on our own shoulders. But, every now and then, if we look, we can see breaks of beauty coming through. For me, it may be in a glance at my wife Angela or in being able to witness a moment where one of my kids chooses to do what is right, for the right reason. But, I’m often able to catch glimpse of beauty during a hike in the woods, when a student gives me a drawing, or when I see one stranger help another. Whatever form true beauty takes in my life, it is another glimpse of the grace of God that continues to break through in a world that is ever-increasingly more selfish and insensitive. One day, He will set it all straight, but, until then, I’ll keep looking out for glimpses of His beauty.

Are home remedies for babies’ safe and do they really work? So often, we find ourselves turning to home remedies to help us heal everything from heartburn to boils and for many of us, these remedies work. It would stand to reason then, that the home remedies people recommend for your baby would work too, right? You should know that this might not always be the case; however, some home remedies are safe, while some are not. When you are considering using any home remedy on a baby, you need to know what is safe and what just isn’t. When to See Your Health Professional If your baby is vomiting or has diarrhea, you should consult your pediatrician because babies can become dehydrated very easily. The younger your baby is, the more important it is to call your baby’s doctor if there are at least two to three such episodes. When your little one is at risk of becoming dehydrated, it’s important not to use any type of home remedy because you could be putting them at risk of becoming sicker. Also, if your baby has a fever it’s important to consult your pediatrician because fevers need to be controlled and lowered and monitored so they don’t get too high. When a baby runs a fever, if you let it get too high, you run the risk of brain damage, so when your baby runs a fever, it’s important to consult with their pediatrician. When You Can Use a Home Remedy Home remedies can be used safely and effectively in some cases, though, such as if your baby has a little bit of gas or is a little bit colicky. You might find that home remedies work well when your baby is teething as well, but there are a few rules that you should make sure to follow so that you can ensure that your baby is happy and healthy for life. Never give your baby honey until she is at least a year old or they can run the risk of getting sick. You should also try to avoid herbal home remedies while your baby is less than a year old unless they are extremely diluted. For instance, if you are considering giving your baby a touch of chamomile tea to ease a colicky stomach, only use an ounce to begin with and mix it with a full seven ounces to dilute it. Consider putting the mixture in a bottle and let your baby drink it little by little. Consider this home remedy for a constipated baby: diluted juice. Consider giving your baby a couple of ounces of apple juice diluted with at least an equal amount of water. If your baby doesn’t drink much juice this will be a very effective remedy that is perfectly safe for your little one. When you are considering using a home remedy for your baby, make sure that you don’t give them anything which you are not completely sure of and know when you need to take your little one to the doctor.

Understanding booking.com for Airbnb style hosts I have been a host on Airbnb for couple years before listing up my properties on booking.com. Coming from Airbnb world, I was not ready for the roller coaster ride. Although booking.com ended up outperforming Airbnb for my listings, there are few key differences people should understand between Airbnb and booking.com... A> On Airbnb, you have the option to accept/decline booking requests based on the guest profile. B> On booking.com, there is no such thing. If its available anyone can book it. You have no say on who books your property and cannot cancel. If you cancel, then you pay relocation fee A> Airbnb charges the guest 5-10% fee and 3% to the host B> Booking.com does not charge guests any fee to book, but charge hosts 15-18% A> Airbnb guests must complete a profile and get "verified". Guests can leave for host and host can leave review for guest B> Booking.com guest do not have to have a profile. Guests can leave review for property but host cannot review guests A>Airbnb collects the payment on your behalf and pay you through your payment preference on check-in day B> Depending on which region you are, booking.com now gives the guest option to pay directly to booking.com or to the host/hotel. If booking.com collects payment (in limited places), then then booking.com gives you their own unique credit card number which can only be charged the booking amount. In that case, you have will have to have credit card processing system (i.e. stripe). If the guest is paying directly to the hotel/host, then booking.com will send you the credit card of the guest and you have charge the credit card yourself using system like (stripe, square) or any other payment processing solution If you attempt to charge the credit card and it is declined, you have to take the following steps 1. Mark the credit card as invalid on booking.com. Then booking.com will notify the guest to update the card 2. If guest update their credit card, trying charging the card again on your payment processor. If it still fails, repeat step 1 3. If the card is still not updated or invalid for 24 hours, you can request to cancel the booking 4. You can also attempt to call the guest or email them to see what they want to do prior to cancelling it If you get a lot of such booking, you can use third party system such as ChargeAutomation.com to automate the above steps. A> On airbnb, because you have option to accept/decline booking request, you can control your calendar B> On booking.com, reservations can come in at any moment so your calendar has to be updated upto the minute. If you are on a budget, you can sync your calendar using iCal. iCal is not instant and can sometimes take 30 min - 2 hours to update. If you are professional host, perhaps you may want to use a channel manager such as ) BookingAutomation.com, kigo.net, guesty) I hope you find the above helpful. Disclaimer, these information can change anytime so double check to make sure the info is still accurate

28-year-old Jose Rivera-Sabo turned himself into police after he shot a man and a woman on Sunday. Rivera-Sabo claimed self-defense, but York City Police Department (YCPD) disagreed. When Police detectives interviewed Rivera-Sabo’s girlfriend, who was driving the car they were traveling in on North Belvidere Avenue, they got a clearer picture of events that transpired. According to her statement to police, they were driving when a group of pedestrians began to cross the street in front of them unexpectedly, forcing the unidentified woman to slam on her breaks. She then beeped her horn at them, prompting the group to yell at her that she had almost struck them with her vehicle. That’s when 32-year-old Francisco Rodriguez, angrily kicked her car. The woman got out of the vehicle, and began to argue with him, asking why he kicked her car. Another woman, 31-year-old Krystal Rodriguez (unknown relation) entered the argument as well. Rivera-Sabo’s girlfriend told officers the argument quickly escalated into a fight. Then she said she heard shots and saw the female Rodriguez trying to crawl away with wounds to her legs. Rivera-Sabo then told her to get back into the vehicle and they drove away. When she asked him if he fired the shots he replied “yes”, he had fired his gun at the victims. Rivera-Sabo had her call 911 and then take him to a YCPD station to turn himself in. Detectives reviewed surveillance footage of the shooting, which showed Rivera-Sabo and his girlfriend engaged in the fight around the stopped car in the middle of the street. “The passenger/defendant (Rivera-Sabo) is seen going back into the passenger side of the vehicle and then comes back out and begins to fire at the people on the street,” detectives reported in an affidavit about the shooting. Krystal Rodriguez was wounded three times, 2 in her left leg and 1 in her right leg which missed her “main artery”, presumably her femoral artery. Francisco Rodriguez was shot once in his right leg. Investigators located 3 spent 9mm casings and one bullet found in the street near the shooting, perhaps implying both Rodriguez’s were injured by 1 of the same bullets. When Rivera-Sabo, who had recently received his concealed carry permit, turned himself into police, he said he feared he and his girlfriend were going to be hurt in the fight. He told police he fired his gun towards the ground, but when asked by detectives, he could not give a reason he felt to be in danger. “He could not give us an example,” police said in the affidavit. Officers then told Rivera-Sabo that the reviewed video footage, “… doesn’t show any type of self-defense.” He reportedly told officers he had never been informed when he could or could not use his gun. When police told him he was going to be arrested for the shooting, he refused to say anything more and demanded a lawyer. Rivera-Sabo is being held at York County Prison instead of paying the $150,000 bail, awaiting a preliminary hearing scheduled for January 15. As most people know, ignorance of the law is not a valid legal defense (Ignorantia juris non excusat- Latin, “Ignorance of the Law excuses not”). Rivera-Sabo should have acquired the proper training before carrying his weapon for self-defense.

It’s a very quiet Sunday at the Frog and Parrot. A couple of jokes about Sheffield looking like a deleted scene from 28 days later fall flat and after having the strongest thing next to a coke (a coke with a lemon wedge), we talk. Out of the 5 cats, only Lucy (drums), Keith (bass) and Ad (keys, guitar, voice, ukulele, beard wrangling) are here. The rest of the band (Stella and Rich) are either fighting robots or dodging well-armed spreadsheets. So, the hardest part is always trying to peg you down for a genre. Would you go for one if asked to classify yourselves? Ad: We don’t really have one. We all kind of play and meet somewhere along the line. Lucy: Sometimes we do agree in stuff like making a song more upbeat but that’s as far as it goes in terms of whipping stuff and us around. Keith: I wouldn’t think we are genre-led, but there are bits in songs where we sound beefier or heavier, but that stems from the song and not from planning. Ad: Yeah, from jamming, never from the outside. ‘Open house’ has a very funky, disco-like bass sound, like several songs from the band. Lucy: Yes, Keith’s our man! Do you have any particular bass influences? Keith: Not specifically! The funkiest in any case would be Stevie Wonder. Other influences could be Led Zeppelin, but that’s more bluesy-based, but a funky blues… Ad writes a lot of the bass lines, though. Ad: It’s the whole genre thing again, it just adds a heavier element to the groove I guess. The rhythm section is down to do that. In the subject of We had this problem last winter, where did the title came from? Ad: You see, we had an oscillating heater, the one with the big light… Lucy: I though it was the door. Keith: And the key. Ad: Yeah, Bolly said… Keith: You don’t know! Ad: That as well! Ok, the lock to our practise room freezes in the winter. The picture of Kinny kicking it is a recreation of what we did. Lucy: Many a nightmare to get in the place when there’s snow outside and the door won’t budge. Ad: Now, the actual meaning is that Bolly said that this heater, well, the light’s on his face and he can’t see his fretboard. That’s it! Keith: It was a song as well at one point but we never did anything with it. We played it once in London and Ad fell out it with. Ad: Yes, the song is racist! Okay, no, I just needed to think of a reason to say we fell out! Lucy: We liked it. Ad: I don’t like it. Lucy: You said it was too standard. Ad: Too strummy! Oh, so the song was unfaithful on you? Ad: Yes. With all four members. Any possibility of recording ‘Poindexter’? Ad: Actually we tried but it didn’t sound good, actually. I don’t know if we’ll play it again for a recording but it’s definitely a live sound kind of track. Lucy: Perhaps the way we tried to record it wasn’t right either. The setup wasn’t what we usually do. If we ever recorded it, it would have to be in a very live style. Keith: That’s kind of what happened with ‘I am the O’. We never got to record it because it worked better as a live song. Lucy: Yes and going into the recording studio is always expensive, so if you go there you need to be certain is something you are happy with and could be done. So although both are fun to play we do need a special setup. We like playing it a lot. It worked well at Soyo. Ad: We did? Ah yes. We like to break it out from time to time to wake people. Is it fair to say that We had this problem last winter is more mellow than Attack of the pitching machine? Ad: Half and half, I think. Two songs are very upbeat and two are more mellow. Keith: It was a different process. The album was recorded over two years and three recording sessions and the EP was on 1 recording session. Lucy: We always had this in mind, didn’t we? We wanted an EP. Whereas with the album it was all the recordings we had at that moment. It was quite nice how natural does the EP fall in two moods. Hopefully shows the different styles we can do! Keith: Sort of like a sampler of the stuff we like to write and enjoy to play. Ad: Yes, we are a pretentious band, we’ll do a double conceptual EP! Lucy: Vinyl would’ve been nice though. Keith: The problem was the expense, it would’ve been done at the loss at the time. We’ll think about it next time. I know someone who would buy that one! Heck, I know three people in Mexico who would buy it. Ad: That’s good to know! What’s the plan right now? Record or keep writing new tunes? Lucy: We have about four and we plan to do some more. Should we mention the French thing? Ad: Well, we have an exclusive for you! A deal with a French label to release the EP in France, we might get to do a tour too. Keith: A release in the last quarter of this year and then a tour in February/March next year. Lucy: If it happens, it will be great. We’ll focus on that right now, write on our free time and after all that is done, then perhaps get some time in the studio, do some more recordings. We aren’t certain about doing an EP or an album right now, it’s up for debate right now. The transitions and bridges in your songs are usually genre-hopping in nature, so how would you describe your song writing process? Who starts it all? Ad: It depends of the song. I might bring the structure of the song. Sometimes, just a bass line and generally, we will all build upon that, end up like 5 minutes long and then we take some stuff out and end up with a song two minutes long. We know our limitations but we know what works. We’ll build around that piece that works. Keith: It’s also a production thing besides the writing. You have your song there, chords, riffs, melodies…but the rest of the band will produce how the whole song fits from start to finish, change some things and how they happen. Ad: One of the new ones, I did all the recording myself and we brought it into the studio and when we all played, it changed the whole feeling of it, which is great! We do build around it. Bring the parts and…I’m trying to do a metaphore here. Keith: You…build the car? The original is a Sudoku and the band fills the numbers? Ad: Yeah, ah, there’s no metafor that works. You build a wall and they build upon it? Ad: I build the wall with a picture on it and they paint over it! They chuck paint at my wall! Lucy: Luckily he never gets offended. We might say “this is three minutes too long” and he’ll never take it bad, he’s not grumpy about it. He never shows it. This is a true story: your lyrics are usually hard hitting and a friend of ours cried when she listened to ‘Answers’. Do you create the lyrics from the music or base the music around the lyrical work? Ad: There’s no set way. I’ve got my email drafts folder at work filled with lyrics and notebooks at home too. I don’t know, there’s no set. Sometimes I’ll sing and hum. If you listen to a Metallica b-side, you’ll get James Hetfield doing muh-muh-MUH-mumuh! instead of singing, sometimes I do that but with words. Some stuff comes up on the spot and I’ll write around it, like ‘Duck in the oven’. Other songs I have a meaning and write about it. No particular path, though. Lyrics frustrate me a lot. Never happy with them. Keith: Is ‘Answers’ about anything in particular? Ad: I don’t want to get into that! you see, that one was a bit of a cut and paste job, you see? I was taking lyrics from different times and put them together if the semantics were similar. It’s a vague “take what you will” sort of song. Ad: I can’t remember what they are about. (laughs) So you had a great show at Tramlines, do you think your shows are directly influenced by your audience? You even had a call for encore. Lucy: Yes, the audience gave us a real buzz. We had a many gigs before and sometimes the crowd doesn’t react and that’s always disheartening. It’s hard to deal with a crowd like that. We got a great buzz for Tramlines because the people who were there wanted to see us and responded well. Ad: Overwhelmed by the response really. We had a lot of friends in the audience, of course but a lot of people we didn’t recognise too. Keith: It was an unexpected response, I think. For the amount of people who were there to the usual numbers we get in our gigs, I liked it. I know some others in the band had a different type of nervousness and took some time to get into the feeling but once we did, we fed from that buzz and had a lot of fun. What do you think of the current scene in Sheffield right now? Ad: You hear a lot of bands and I haven’t seen a lot, which is a shame. Lucy: I’ve been trying to get to more gigs and see what’s around. There seems to be more venues too. There used to be one called Olive and now it’s called Gatsby’s and I went there the other week, saw some good bands. Nice to see a place like that developing. The Shakespeare is back too, we are pleased to see it open again! We hope to play again there and at The Bowery too. Things are improving again in terms of venues, so let’s hope it helps bands too. I personally do still miss The Grapes, but slowly the void is being patched. Ad: I didn’t get to see any local bands during Tramlines! Keith: I honestly don’t know. I haven’t seen enough to summarise, I’m too busy self-indulging in my own band. (laughs) Anything else you’d like to mention? Ad: We have a gig at the second Friday of December at The Bowery, a possible gig at The Harley in November and as soon as there’s confirmation, we’ll announce more. Words: Sam J. Valdés López

Telecom in India has crossed the nascent stage and matured into one of the most profitable domains in the market. Starting from a modest one circle per operator in early 90s today the 5 major Telecom operators with nation wide licenses finds it difficult to service the mammoth Indian population. How else does one explain the licenses for new operators?India has seen rapid growth in the telecom market. I remember the early days when one would be charged Rs.10 for receiving the call and seriously people would still use mobile phones. It was another issue all together that it was more of a status symbol to have one. A lot has changed ever since with call rates sky diving and electronic prices going South, globalization has only contributed in this sector India thanks to its population and mentality to show off (what else do you call a person having 3 mobile phones and numbers?) has one of the largest subscriber base in the world. Today a call costs nothing more than a paisa per second or a character apiece for messaging. India is all mobile and why shouldn’t it? Everyone from the top honchos to their drivers, servicemen to delivery boys has a mobile. School going children want a cell phone more than they want a Hero pen ( we so very much desired at our times and yes I am talking just about a decade back), they learnt the sms lingo much faster , no wonder the grammar teacher has her bag of woes full! The mobiles are here to stay and so are the telecom companies. No wonder more companies want a bite of the Indian pie. But as the battle ensues for supremacy and cutting into each other’s subscriber base, what would decide the winner? Let’s take a look at what the telecom folks are vying with? 1. 3G : This is one service that is on everyone’s mind. Japan was the first country to have a commercial launch of 3G by NTT DoCoMo somewhere in 2001, while we are still reeling under the weight of bureacracy almost a decade later. The telcoms are all waiting to see who gets its license first. While some of the companies are already advertising their 3G ready networks, others are wondering whether investing in 3G infrastructure would be a safe bet. 2. Number portability : having number portability made mandatory, TRAI is waiting for the implementation by telecom companies. This will allow the subscribers to jump providers without changing their numbers. 3. Pricing : This is one war that bleeds everyone but there is not much choice left. One jumps everyone else has to follow suit. The only solace is that you save your subscriber base from tumbling due to pricing. 4. Marketing : Each one on his own. Every company is employing the best advertising company to convey relevant mass messages. Whether it is Idea’s campaigns to save trees or Airtel’s emotional touch about national integrity. Everyone is trying their luck. But the defining one would definitely have to be SERVICE With all other features being almost at a competing level, the game would be won on one rule that has differentiated the winners from the losers in any industry – the best service provider. It would all boil down to who provides the best service. Whether it is the calling rates or easy accessibility to bill payments, functionality or least percentage of call drops. And the Indian customer wanting maximum returns for their money — I would suggest that companies take a look at their capability to provide best service else bid a good bye to the customer. The game has changed, so have the rules but the underlying goal remains the same – the best SERVICE wins!

Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports Lotus parts and racing cars based at out of England. The company designs and builds Lotus parts, specialized race cars and production automobiles of light weight materials and high handling performance characteristics. In 1948, Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman - an engineer and passionate racing enthusiast - built his first car using custom Lotus parts solely developed by him. By spring Chapman had finished his first vehicle, the Mark 1 which he based on an old Austin Seven. His new creation became the first Lotus in history. The company was officially formed in 1959 and was mad up of Lotus parts, Lotus Cars Limited and Lotus Components Limited which focused on road car and customer competition car production respectively. Over the years, Lotus has manufactured a number of Lotus parts, and automobiles bearing the Lotus names and continues to do so. In the past 10 years, Lotus has won a number of awards pertaining to the rapid developments in Lotus parts. The company has proven to be efficient when facing pressure from the market to innovate having produced the Circuit Car from concept to prototype in just 11 weeks. Lotus later launched the Exige in 2004 at the esteemed Virginia International Raceway in the same fashion. Those in attendance were able to experience firsthand the phenomenal performance of Lotus parts that completely utilize and exploit the available vehicle resources. The last European specification of Lotus parts for the Esprit were done in 2003. Lotus charged ahead with new market expansion, however, with news that it would sell Lotus parts and the Lotus Elise in both Mexico and Russia and would begin selling the Lotus Elise in the U.S. the following year. In 2004, the federal version Lotus Elise premiered at the Los Angeles Motor Show. Lotus parts were a completely re-worked and the car housed a state-of-the-art 190 hp (DIN 70020) Toyota engine, 6-speed gear box, plus twin air bags and track-tuned ABS. Lotus also launched the new 189 hp (1999/99EC) Lotus Elise 111R for the European and Rest of World markets. Lotus parts and engineering are highly respected around the world; the company also acts as an engineering consultancy, providing Lotus parts and engineering development particularly in the area of suspension to other car manufacturers. The lesser known Power train department is responsible for the design and development of the 4 cylinder engine found in many automobiles produced by manufacturers around the world. Lotus parts and engineering standards can be found under the hoods of many international makes and models. Tapping into the burgeoning ASEAN economy, Lotus announced plans for a new Engineering Operations and Lotus parts Center at Technology Park in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This new location places Lotus in the same corporate neighborhood as some of the world’s leading car manufacturers. This strategic move was to improve Lotus' relationship with the automakers it serves by being in an efficient and local position when these automakers look to them for Lotus parts and engineering consultation. Responding to increasing demand internationally, Lotus Engineering also opened a dedicated office in China in 2004. The purpose of this development was to encourage worldwide sales of Lotus parts and automobiles by placing company operations directly in the center of the world's fastest growing automotive market.

LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please note the addition of www.orntotalhealth.com to the first paragraph, first sentence of release and to the end of the Orn Health Inc. and Hans Jenkins, D.O. boilerplate. The corrected release reads: FRELII, INC. INKS AGREEMENT WITH ORN HEALTH INC. TO SUPPORT HEALTHCARE FRANCHISEE PARTNERS INCORPORATING PHARMACOGENTICS INTO PATIENT TREATMENT Frelii Inc. (OTC PINK: FRLI) (“Frelii” or “the Company") today announced the details of its recent agreement with Orn Health Inc. (www.orntotalhealth.com), a medical services provider, to license the Frelii exome and whole genome sequencing and artificial intelligence (AI) technology for use with new franchisee partners in their own medical practices for enhancing patient treatment resources. Currently, Frelii provides a consumer-level DNA Kit Package™ and report with alignment specifically for OTC cannabis, CBD, supplements and nutraceuticals that can be disseminated directly to a consumer without the presence of a physician or licensed healthcare provider. Frelii has forged this partnership with Orn to create broader opportunities for the company within the medical and healthcare industries, specifically. Now they will be able to offer their more enhanced Medical Grade DNA Kit Package™ and report, inclusive of specific panels that can be selected only by a licensed physician or healthcare provider. “Frelii delivers one of the most comprehensive and robust exome and whole-genome DNA sequencing and analysis services in the world to aid physicians with disease management, precision pharmaceutical or cannabinoid dosing and overall patient genetic profiling to aid in diagnosis and treatment,” said Ian Jenkins, CEO of Frelii Inc. “It does not, however, provide medical advice or treatment recommendations. In order for patients and individuals to get advice regarding their genetic predisposition to certain medical diseases or conditions, or their body’s ideal alignment with pharmacogenetic factors, a licensed healthcare provider or medical doctor must be involved to properly interpret and apply the data available through our enhanced medical grade package. This is why we have forged a partnership with Orn.” Orn will be responsible for creating a network of franchisees that have secured licensed rights to access Orn’s platform of resources, which include: Frelii Medical Grade DNA Kit Package™ and reporting data, the Frelii DNA Wallet™ platform, a proprietary telehealth platform, ERM, proprietary treatment methodologies, marketing materials and billing support. Orn will include facilitating billing reimbursement through various insurance providers on behalf of franchisees. This will result in an interconnected grid of national and international healthcare facilities, hospitals groups, clinics, doctor networks and managed care facilities that will all be able to access and leverage state of the art precision medicine, precision dosing and precision treatment SOPs with the advanced genetic data provided through Frelii; all designed to help serve more patients while managing costs. “Physicians need access to leading technologies that enable them to treat more patients accurately with advanced diagnostic and treatment resources, while still managing costs,” said Dr. Hans Jenkins, D.O., Principal Director and Founder of Orn Health Inc. and Chief Medical Officer of Frelii, Inc. “Pharmacogentics, when combined with advanced treatment SOPs and methodologies from Orn will give healthcare providers much better tools to effectively treat critical healthcare issues facing physicians today, such as the opioid addiction crisis.” The current business strategy from Orn is to establish a strong network of franchise partners across the United States and Canada. From there, specific international target geographies will be considered. At present, Orn will maintain the franchises for Utah, Nevada and California. Among the first independent franchise target geographies being considered are Washington, Texas, Arizona and Oklahoma. “Frelii anticipates a long and successful relationship with Orn,” said Leslie Norris, COO of Frelii and Board Director. “The business mission of Orn is in complete alignment with the core value proposition of Frelii. We know that patients and their physicians can achieve much better results together when they can 'see' the entire genetic profile of each individual. Issues such as those that will affect possible disease alignment and what type of pharmaceuticals and cannabinoids can be ideally absorbed effectively come into true focus when our unique human genome becomes a day to day element in diagnosis and treatment.” About Orn Health Inc. and Hans Jenkins, D.O. Orn Health Inc. is located in Farmington, UT and serves as both a primary care facility and headquarters for Orn. Dr. Hans Jenkins serves as Medical Director and Principle of Orn and was appointed as Frelii’s Chief medical Officer and to serve on the Board of Directors in March 2018.

Food stamps (renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP) are used to buy food and help low-income households in the United States obtain more nutritious diets by increasing the food purchasing power at grocery stores and supermarkets for all eligible participants. Applicants must fill out an application form at the County Assistance Office or online and provide proof of identity, income, and expenses. Benefits are provided on an electronic card, called an EBT card, that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores. Food stamps/SNAP are a much more stable and beneficial source of food than emergency food assistance, yet research has show that per-person food stamp allotments do not cover the cost of a healthy diet in America (see “Coming Up Short: high food costs outstrip food stamp benefits”). From an economic standpoint, food stamps have been shown to be the fastest way to stimulate the economy: $1 in food stamp allotment generates $1.73 in consumer spending (see this recent article in CNN).

A little time ago now we wrote a story about Nat Bradford and the work he’s doing to bring back some lost and forgotten edibles — edibles that would have been very prominent, especially in the Carolinas. He’s putting food that is thought to have dominated the menu of the day back on the table: Ground Nuts, Dutch Fork Pumpkins, Candy Roaster Squash, Carolina African Runner Peanuts and more.Read More It’s our pleasure to introduce you to Irmantas, the owner of Botany Bow Ties based in Charleston, SC. He and his partner Chad graciously allowed us to ask several questions about the company as well as host a small photoshoot. His story is an amazing one that we’re so excited to share with you. Irmantas was born in Lithuania where he lived until he was 11 years old. At that time his mother, who was seeking to make a better life for herself and her family, moved them to the United States. That was 16 years ago and now Irmantas calls Charleston home. And as a Charlestonian he is very proud of the fact that he lives in such a wonderful place. Although the idea for Botany Bow Ties wasn’t always in his mind, all it took was a matter of circumstance to see the idea come to fruition.Read More

Oxford graduates announced the launch of Propy – a real estate app for international investors in global cities starting in Silicon Valley, Dubai and Beijing. It provides each home listing with information for foreign buyers and with a unique innovative Sustainability Score for homes. The mission is to encourage sustainability awareness in property purchasing process especially in the regions as Middle East and China. Sustainability is not just another trend; it will trigger the fundamentals of new age living in the Middle East. Due to climatic conditions and behavioral patterns, UAE is one of the largest consumers of energy and water per capita on the planet. With the property market booming, and the government heavily subsidizing utilities (up to 90% of the electricity bill and up to 100% of water consumption), the UAE expenses for these subsidies were $17 billion in 2014, or 12% of total expenditure. In these conditions, aiming for more resource-efficient consumption in the residential sector seems unavoidable, and the first subsidy-decreasing initiatives were undertaken in early 2015. “Many experts point the fact that the water and electricity subsidies will soon be cut”, notes Natalia Karayaneva, the University of Oxford student, who made a research on Sustainability Assessment for Real Estate with a case study in Middle East. She is a founder of Propy Inc., a real estate app for foreign homebuyers with a special focus on sustainable housing. “And with that comes a stronger focus on Sustainability in the residential real estate sector”. Raising awareness both within the housing industry and amongst consumers seems the only viable way forward that will ensure long-term quality of housing stock - according to a public statement by Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj al Mazroui, Minister of Energy, the aim of the government is to reduce energy and water consumption by 10%, which would save Dh3.5 billion per annum in government spending. This means increased attention to energy efficiency and building materials. The effects of non-sustainable construction on the environment are also not to be underestimated. In her research for Oxford University, Natalia Karayaneva interviewed real estate experts in the Middle East including policy makers, developers and architects. She notes, “The built environment has a very negative impact on the environment: 39% of energy in the UAE is used by the residential sector”. Natalia Karayaneva founded the new real estate marketplace together with University of Oxford grads from Europe and winners of a Bulgarian Tech Hackathon. She is a real estate developer who has built a number of award-winning condos for foreign investors in Europe. Along with her recent study of Sustainable Urban Development at Oxford, she developed Propy's most unique feature – an innovative algorithm for calculating the Sustainability Score for a property. Every listing will show a Sustainability Score from 1 to 10, which combines information about air pollution, public transportation, school access, walkability, noise, crime rate and building certifications. This score will provide a more holistic view of what a sustainable property should be like and it will encourage buyers to pay attention to building’s energy efficiency, CO2 emissions and green building credentials "Propy has all the potential to fill the gap in cross-border transactions in real estate, which are 1/3 of world transactions today according to the PWC report for 2014" comments Samantha DeBianchi, the real estate celebrity, top broker in Miami and New York. The investors from Middle East now will have transparent offers with sustainability indicators in such hotspots as New York, San Francisco and London in their native language. On the other hand the new app will attract more customers to global cities like Dubai from Asia, Europe and Russia. It also engages brokers to check-in at the properties to show their activities and buyers to write reviews about viewings. Propy provides all information in Arabic, Mandarin, Russian and English and allows users to see which brokers checked-in at the properties available for sale.

Florida’s 2018 election resulted in three statewide recounts — highlighting our sharply divided electorate. The recounts also exposed serious problems with our voting process. A bill in the Florida Senate addresses many of those flaws. It deserves swift approval by the Legislature and the governor so elections officials can make the necessary adjustments well ahead of the 2020 election. As reported by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, the bill would: • Require county elections offices to put ballot instructions in a prescribed location. Thousands of Broward County voters appeared to overlook the U.S. Senate race between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson — one of those that resulted in a recount — because of poor ballot design. Broward’s 2018 ballot instructions ran along the left-hand side of the ballot, with the Senate race placed beneath them. • Outlaw vote-counting machines that can’t “simultaneously count and sort ballot overvotes and undervotes in multiple races.” Palm Beach’s inadequate machines led to problems with that county’s recount. • Extend recount deadlines by a week. The tight deadlines stressed many elections offices and may have contributed to irregularities in the vote counts. • Give voters whose absentee ballots are rejected for reasons such as a mismatched signature more time to “cure” their ballots. The current cure deadline is 5 p.m. on the day before the election. The new deadline would be 11 days after the election. The bill also would require elections officials to make greater efforts to notify voters when their ballot is rejected. • Move back the primary election so that it occurs 11 weeks before the general election instead of 10 weeks, to “provide more time for ballot cure and to redress possible glitches.” The bill, written with the input of the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections, was passed unanimously by the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee and awaits further action in that chamber. Unfortunately, there is not yet a companion bill in the Florida House, where Speaker Jose Oliva is one of many Republican legislators who blame the election snafu on incompetent management by Palm Beach and Broward counties’ Democratic elections supervisors. But the problems didn’t occur just in those counties, or just in Democratic counties. Hillsborough County did not submit recount results after the vote total failed to match the original count. Sarasota County’s recount total also did not match the original count. Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Ron Turner, a Republican, said that the Senate bill has “several good proposals ... that appear to address some important election deadline and timeline issues.” Senate President Bill Galvano, a Bradenton Republican, said the proposed reforms “need to take place.” “We have — cycle after cycle in this state — issues and problems,” Galvano said. “It doesn’t mean you have to reinvent everything, but it’s certainly a worthy exercise to look at improving things.” Close elections will occur again in politically divided Florida. The Legislature has an obligation to ensure that all votes are counted — and perhaps recounted — as accurately as possible.

The story of Ellen Pakkies will be screened at an international film festival in America. "Ellen, The Ellen Pakkies Story" which was released in South African cinemas in September, has landed a spot at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles taking place later this year. The film is based on the true-life story of a desperate Lavender Hill mother who killed her abusive drug-addicted son. Ellen made world headlines in 2007 when she admitted to strangling her son Adam, aka Abie, to death in his shack in their backyard. She told a court that Adam had been terrorising her and her husband for years, stealing from her, breaking all her windows and even assaulting her in fits of rage when she refused to feed his tik habit. Lead actress Jill Levenberg from Kensington, who plays Ellen Pakkies, and Jarrid Geduld from Eersterivier, who plays Adam, were overjoyed to hear the film will be screened in L.A. on 8 March for one week. Jill posted on Facebook: "Ellen Pakkies has been selected to screen at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles! Thank you for the blessings God!" Jarrid, 29, told the Daily Voice: "It’s exciting to know our film has reached this level, we might not have landed a major distribution deal with this film but having it played on an international scale is a blessing. "Despite the language barrier, having people from foreign countries share an interest, is amazing." "These places are also struggling with the scourge of drugs in their communities and so they can relate to our story."Daily Voice

Call Today For A Free Consultation(713) 829-4317 Scaffolding Accident Attorney Our Scaffolding Accident Lawyer knows the life changing impact that a scaffolding injury can have on one’s life. Many injured scaffolding workers are forced to miss work because of the injury and it may take several months to recover.

After a scaffolding accident many scaffolding workers might miss work, wages, and have large medical bills and financial damage from the accident.

Working on or near scaffolding is an act of faith, trusting in the apparatus itself and the people who assembled it. When the equipment fails, it usually results in serious injuries or death.

Common Causes of a Scaffolding Accident - Falling debris- many scaffolding workers can injury by being hit by falling objects that are used within the work project and cause severe injury to an individual working on a scaffolding work site. It does not necessarily have to be debris that causes the accident. Equipment if not used correctly can also fall created potential danger for a scaffolding worker below the object. - Falling from the Scaffolding- falling from the scaffolding is a risk that many workers face. When safety procedures are not followed correctly it could result in workers falling or being knocked off the scaffolding. It is important for workers to make sure that safety harnesses are used and that ladders are properly secured. Additionally, improper training is another reason that contributes to scaffolding accidents occurring. - Incorrectly assembled scaffolding construction- Failure to properly assemble the scaffolding can result in scaffolding collapse or injury due to improper construction. If the scaffolding collapses it can injury scaffolding workers who have the potential of being trapped by the scaffolding, falling from the scaffolding, or being crushed underneath the scaffolding. - The manufacturer of defective scaffolding - A company that sold, rented or erected the platform - Subcontractors or property owners who were negligent.

#1 Rafting down the Soča River Soca Valley is one of the most picturesque places in Slovenia, due to its beautiful turquoise water color leeched from eroded limestone. The river starts from the bottom of the valley as a spring, bouncing between the rocks until it reaches the perfect size for exciting river rafting and water activities. You'll enjoy beautiful views as the Julian Alps engulfs you all around. #2 Hiking in the Kamnik Alps The Kamnik Alps is a mountain range in north Slovenia by the border with Austria. It is a bit smaller and lower compared to the Julian Alps and is also a bit quieter allowing for the perfect playground for proper adventures. There are many airy climbing possibilities on the one hand, and on the other, it is perfect terrain for some easier hikes that can be combined with traditional mountain culinary visits of high-land pastures with homemade treats. Activities can be just a few hours, while it is also easy to take a multi-day tour, spending a night in one of many mountain huts in the range. #3 Canyoning in Soča Valley On warm summer days, nothing feels better than to jump in the cool streams and waterfalls. The beautiful canyons take you through interesting river systems where you can rappel down waterfalls or simply enjoy the comfortable alpine water. The weather is generally warm enough for water activities from mid-March to the end of October. #4 Climb the North Face of Triglav Located in the heart of the Julian Alps National Park, you can find the highest summit of Slovenia Triglav. Reaching down to the Soca Valley, this is one of the largest rock faces in Europe (1000 m. high and 3000 m. wide), calling out to all those who loves climbing. Most climbs are for two days and you're required to have a local certificate guide for the undertaking. There are two suitable routes for beginner climbers and adventurists. It's a Grade III climb with a 2-hour approach and around 3-hour climb. From there, you can walk for 1 hour to a mountain hut in order to summit Triglav the day after or you can descend down to the valley. The climb is a total of 1300 m. with the approach. #5 Hike and Kayak underground at Mount Peca In Koroska, you'll find one of Slovenia's most unique regions with a variety of great outdoor activities. One of them is hidden underground, at Mount Peca in Mezica. Mountain biking through a mountain When it comes to an adventure, Slovenia has the most unusual activities, and yes, you can mountain bike through a mountain. It goes 5 km. underground from one valley to another. There's not much elevation difference — only 15 m. — and the biking will take approx 2-to 2.5 hours. After the mines closed, some of the tunnels filled up with underground lakes. For this activity, you'll board a mine train which takes you 3,5 km into the tunnel. Then you will walk to the water on foot to where you will find the kayaks. Then, row for 700 meters and enjoy a traditional miner's meal; the same meals the miners used to get before they went to work.

REGION: Java FARM: Various FARMER: Various VARIETAL: Various ALTITUDE: Various ROAST: Medium The world's oldest and most well-known blend. In the cup richly balanced; brandy-toned chocolate, with a wonderful nutty almond and deeper hints of blueberry top notes. This version of the ancient Mocha-Java blend combines a genuine Java from the government estates of East Java with two different Ethiopia "natural" or dried-in-the-fruit coffees, both of which represent variations on the original Yemen Mocha component of the blend: one from the Harrar region of Ethiopia and a second from the Amaro region of southwestern Ethiopia. Ken Davids of Coffee Review in his 91 POINTS - January 2010 assessment describes our Mocha Java as: "Intense aroma: brandy fermented fruit, sweet-toned flowers, and aromatic wood. In the cup richly balanced; delicate fruit and floral top notes with deeper hints of earth, brandy-toned chocolate, and aromatic wood. These deeper tones carry into a mildly but distinctly astringent finish."

If you're a fan of a homemade pizza, throw these flavours together for a healthy alternative. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Rub the seasoned garlic oil all over the chicken breast fillets. Heat a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Cut into 5 mm thick slices. Place the wholemeal pizza bases rough side down on a flat bench. Spread the bases with the tomato paste and then top evenly with the cooked chicken slices, zucchini, red onion, long red chilli and mozzarella cheese. Place in the oven directly onto the wire racks and cook 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden. Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh parsley.

Day by day mobile web browsing popularity is growing fastly and it is becoming increasing important that a website should allow visitors from a wide array of devices and with different screen sizes.To meet such demand, responsive design is one such option that can save you with the above mentioned scenario. While working on responsive web design, you need to follow some effective techniques to develop a successful website. A perfect responsive site will provide great flexibility to users. Let us discuss some practices required to design a perfect responsive website: A mobile user also earns the same quality browsing experience as web user does. While making a responsive web design, it is significant to make sure that the site is totally built so that users can get reliable browsing experience from all over the world The visual configuration and appearance can be easily changed without causing any content or function losses to the site and the user can access it from any device and screen size. A user accessing your site or pages from their desktop should get the same browsing experience as a user gets from their cell phones or tablets. While designing a responsive site, you need to make sure that all your images and content are completely fluid and easily get configured according to the range of different screen sizes. Understand the Responsive process While framing site’s layout for coding into actual design, make sure that you understand the required layouts considered perfect for responsive design. You need to understand the difference between the ideal and useless layouts for responsive design. Choose the best designs that can easily convert to new sizes accordingly to the assortment of screens. You need to create a simple layout along with HTML coding and also by using simple mechanisms for central elements, which includes menu and navigation options. Consider HTML5 guidelines and doctype to come up with simple yet effective site layout. Focus on Breakpoints There is a wide range of sizes that need to be considered on a priority basis. These include: <480px (This sizebasically applies to the older version and small smartphone screen sizes.) <768px (This size is considered an ideal for bigger smartphones and smaller tablets>768px) <320px (This size is perfect for older slight, low res phones) <1024px (This stylesheetis for wide screens on desktops.) All the above mentioned breakpoints are considered quite important and out of them, the first three along with the full desktop resolution (greater than 1024px)are more crucial. Flexible and Effective Images With the help of a simple design, you can easily prepare your images effective and flexible.To obtain such design, consider adaptive sizing and resize their width and get the perfect layout you must be looking for. Though, thereis a wide range of techniques you can use to design this, but let us focus on one of the convenient way that can help you to easily complete your task. Adaptive images are considered a little handy tool that can help you to create a perfect responsive web design. Remember that sizing as per the mobile users is perhaps your best gamble on a responsive design website if you are looking forward for a decent load speed. Aside from this, you can also use mutable breakpoints and collect multiple image sizes in your data that can be utilized for different screen resolutions. But there is a drawback that might create an issue related to your bandwidth usage and there is a possibility that might not able to create your website with the secure notion that all your users will have access to potent bandwidth. Allow density of content and site elements For easily transmission, consider GZIP, a program that can help to compress your page resource effectively. With this, the number of bytes sent per page will be lowered, which will make your content fluent to browse and can be accessed from devices with variable bandwidth. In addition, you can accelerate your website by simply removing pointless space and line breaks. With this, you can make minimize file sizes and your website will run easily. Remove unnecessary content Though, you are working hard and smart to make your website a mobile friendly responsive design, but one important thing that can never be denied is that some elements are never intended to be used in a mobile and can never work over there. If you want your website perfectly run on any mobile device, then you need to remove such elements or layouts for mobile setting. For this, you can add .not mobile class to the particular element that you want to be removed while your site is opened by a mobile user. Or you can also take away such elements permanently. Consider the Bottom Line All the above mentioned points are some of the best techniques that greatly contribute to come up with a magnificent responsive web design. In short, to develop a perfect responsive design website, you need to build it so it can be loaded and work easily on devices with low resolution, low bandwidth and small processing power also. By simply following these steps, you will be able to get a perfect Responsive web design.

GM Will Pay to Repair Faulty Fuel Gauges on 2005-2007 SUVs General Motors has agreed to pay to repair the fuel gauges in several GM SUVs, following a defect investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Over time, the contacts in the fuel-level sensor could wear and cause an incorrect reading on the gas gauge. The issue affects the 2005-2007 Buick Rainier, 2005-2006 Chevrolet SSR, 2005-2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2005-2007 GMC Envoy, and 2005-2007 Saab 9-7. GM says 867,335 vehicles are potentially affected. NHTSA first opened an investigation into this issue in April 2011 after receiving over 5000 reports of incorrect fuel level readings, which could lead drivers to inadvertently run out of fuel. There were 58 reported cases of engine stalling due to low fuel levels. GM dealerships will notify owners that, if they have a problem with faulty fuel gauges, the sensor will be replaced and GM will pay half of the repair cost. The company also will reimburse owners who previously paid to have the issue repaired. Sources: Detroit Free Press, NHTSA

I believe that it can be either, depending to a large extent on how it is produced, how it is processed and by whom it is consumed. Admittedly, not everyone can tolerate milk. I personally do not do well with lactose and so the only dairy I consume are butter, cheese and lactose free milk and yoghurt. Milk in my eyes is a superfood when it comes from grass fed cows grazing actively growing diverse pastures in a natural setting. That is, cows being fed the way nature intended. Mungalli goes a step further in that the farms are Demeter Certified Biodynamic/Organic and so no soluble fertilizers, poisons, antibiotics or GMO’s are used. On top of this, our permanent pastures are a diverse mix of grasses, legumes, herbs and so-called weeds. Rotational grazing is used so that the pasture is fed off at the optimum time which imparts the maximum nutritional benefit to the milk. Because of our reliable rainfall, temperate climate, fertile soils and pristine environment, our cows have access to high quality pasture all year round. At the other extreme are the high density feedlot or factory dairy farms, where the cows are kept in confined areas and fed poor quality, often GM forages and excessive grain, cotton seed and protein concentrates. These rations have been formulated to maximize production and the highly bred cows produce an enormous amount of milk often for a relatively short period of time before they are burnt out and replaced. The poorly- mineralised forages are produced from annual crops that require soluble fertilisers, poisons and mechanisation to cultivate, plant, irrigate, harvest and feed out to cows. Imagine how much man-made energy is consumed to produce a litre of milk in this setting? Because these high producing cows are pushed so hard with grain and protein they often get mastitis, develop metabolic problems and have trouble going back into calf, which leads to a dependence on antibiotics, hormonal treatments and buffers and correspondingly high vet bills. Could this be the reason that many doctors and alternative practitioners are recommending that their patients give up dairy? Is milk the problem or is it rather the way it is produced and processed? In my eyes, raw milk is the perfect way to consume milk. As this is illegal in Australia, Mungalli process the milk as minimally as possible, simply filtering and pasteurising for the least amount of time and lowest temperature allowed. Many other processors however clarify, separate, standardise, pasteurise and homogenise, which results in a watery looking white liquid that is very different from the healthy nutritious food that left the farm. Could homogenisation, which is an unnecessary cosmetic process that stops the cream rising to the top, be harmful to our health? Is it necessary to drastically change the physical characteristics of milk using enormous pressures and shear? The less food is processed the better. I personally feel that cows should eat predominantly pasture because that’s what they have evolved to do and the cream should rise to the top in milk as nature intended. What do you think?

Broomfield, CO AIRPORT COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM Airports are vital national resources. They serve a key role in trans- portation of people and goods and in regional, national, and interna- tional commerce. They are where the nationâs aviation system connects with other modes of transportation and where federal responsibility for managing and regulating air traffic operations intersects with the role of state and local governments that own and operate most airports. Research is necessary to solve common operating problems, to adapt appropriate new technologies from other industries, and to introduce innovations into the airport industry. The Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) serves as one of the principal means by which the airport industry can develop innovative near-term solutions to meet demands placed on it. The need for ACRP was identified in TRB Special Report 272: Airport Research Needs: Cooperative Solutions in 2003, based on a study spon- sored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). ACRP carries out applied research on problems that are shared by airport operating agen- cies and not being adequately addressed by existing federal research programs. ACRP is modeled after the successful National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) and Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP). ACRP undertakes research and other technical activi- ties in various airport subject areas, including design, construction, legal, maintenance, operations, safety, policy, planning, human resources, and administration. ACRP provides a forum where airport operators can cooperatively address common operational problems. ACRP was authorized in December 2003 as part of the Vision 100â Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. The primary participants in the ACRP are (1) an independent governing board, the ACRP Oversight Committee (AOC), appointed by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation with representation from airport operating agencies, other stakeholders, and relevant industry organizations such as the Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA), the American Associa- tion of Airport Executives (AAAE), the National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO), Airlines for America (A4A), and the Airport Consultants Council (ACC) as vital links to the airport community; (2) TRB as program manager and secretariat for the governing board; and (3) the FAA as program sponsor. In October 2005, the FAA executed a contract with the National Academy of Sciences formally initiating the program. ACRP benefits from the cooperation and participation of airport professionals, air carriers, shippers, state and local government officials, equipment and service suppliers, other airport users, and research organi- zations. Each of these participants has different interests and responsibili- ties, and each is an integral part of this cooperative research effort. Research problem statements for ACRP are solicited periodically but may be submitted to TRB by anyone at any time. It is the responsibility of the AOC to formulate the research program by identifying the highest priority projects and defining funding levels and expected products. Once selected, each ACRP project is assigned to an expert panel appointed by TRB. Panels include experienced practitioners and research specialists; heavy emphasis is placed on including airport professionals, the intended users of the research products. The panels prepare project statements (requests for proposals), select contractors, and provide technical guidance and counsel throughout the life of the project. The process for developing research problem statements and selecting research agencies has been used by TRB in managing coop- erative research programs since 1962. As in other TRB activities, ACRP project panels serve voluntarily without compensation. Primary emphasis is placed on disseminating ACRP results to the intended users of the research: airport operating agencies, service pro- viders, and academic institutions. ACRP produces a series of research reports for use by airport operators, local agencies, the FAA, and other interested parties; industry associations may arrange for workshops, training aids, field visits, webinars, and other activities to ensure that results are implemented by airport industry practitioners.

The report helps educators and aviation enthusiasts understand the need for encouraging interest in aviation, offers guidance on developing a program of activities to fit particular needs, and provides activities for developing a program that can be scaled and tailored for various age groups and resource availability. The aviation industry is a vital sector of the U.S. economy, yet participation in aviation as a career, for business, as an extracurricular activity, as a sport, and as recreation has declined over the last decade. There are many causes for the decline, including a reduced interest in aviation among younger populations and other demographics and a lack of industry promotion. State and local aviation agencies are in a unique position to support the industry, and while some states have established robust outreach and educational pro- grams, other states lack the resources necessary to promote this important transportation asset. Industry groups also engage in educational and promotional programs. Yet there has not been a single-source report summarizing those efforts, nor has there been guidance to help state and local agencies develop and implement such efforts. Research was needed to provide guidance and supporting material for state agencies and local airports to promote interest and participation in the aviation industry. The ACRP Project 01-34 research team, led by Mead & Hunt, featured outreach to more than 100 groups and organizations engaged in some type of aviation education activity, including state and federal agencies, schools and universities, STEM-related groups, avia- tion industry associations, and museums. Through this engagement, the team collected numerous innovative activities and focused on a series of case studies that showcased a diversity of approaches and programs. Based on this research, the team prepared a report and an interactive collection of âlanding pagesâ of activities targeted by type, age group, and general cost. The collection of the landing pages is a valuable resource to those wishing to engage young people in aviation. The collection includes more than 100 activities that can be adapted to any particular situation. The report is designed to help develop intentional pathways for promoting interest in aviation. These pathways are seen as the process for engaging students at an early age to pursue aviation at some level and then have them, in turn, continue the cycle by promoting aviation to others. The report addresses the challenges to establishing and maintaining these pathwaysâsuch as resource limitations, lack of programming or curriculum, competing interests for kids, and administrative or organizational issuesâand identifies opportunities F O R E W O R D By Joseph D. Navarrete Staff Officer Transportation Research Board to overcome them. The report also provides support for developing and executing single events and activities when they are the most practical means for exposing young people to the aviation industry. Finally, the report includes three summary listings of the landing pages, sorted by activity type, target age group, and cost per person. A searchable list, by keyword, of these landing pages can be found in the Presorted Tables PDF. There is also an individual activity landing pages PDF, which is an alphabetical listing of organizations and the types of activities they offer. The PDF User Guide explains how to use and search the PDFs.
