Femetalism to take a hiatus
After a fabulous 5 years working with some great bands, promoters, bloggers and radio shows Femetalism has made the difficult decision to take some well deserved time off.
As regular readers will already know, Femetalism started as a project for my eCommunications degree back in 2010. Since then Femetalism has become a huge part of our lives and something that we not only love but something that we know you have all enjoyed too. We have interviewed and featured numerous fantastic bands, have been involved with a load of great live music events and we even released our very own promotional compilation album series. We really don't want it to end.
However, 2016 marks the beginning of a new and exciting adventure for us, and one that will inevitably take us away from what we have been doing with Femetalism. Without being able to commit 100% to the site, we feel that now is the time to take some time out. We fully intend to return at some point in the future and you will no doubt see us at the odd gig and festival throughout the year. For now, though, we will no longer be accepting promotional material from bands or sponsoring live music events, and we won't be popping up in your social media news feeds very often at all.
In the meantime, if you haven't already, please download the Femetalism compilation series, Forged in Stone and Steel, from Bandcamp, and do continue to Like and Follow us on Facebook and Twitter so that when we come back you are the first to hear! Your support over the last 5 years has been phenomenal and we appreciate it very much indeed.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

Our Mission is to prepare at-risk inner city youth for responsible and productive futures through a program of disciplined work experience and service in their community, leadership development and individualized planning for post-High School careers.
We guide our rangers by helping them:
- Develop positive workplace attitudes
- Graduate from high school
- Begin their chosen career pathway by becoming productive citizens
Spend time with the youth of Kansas City's urban core and you will discover the same potential for future leaders, savvy entrepreneurs, and brilliant thinkers as you would anywhere across Metro Kansas City. You will also discover a hopelessness linked to excessive high school dropout rates, crushing poverty and devastating violence. This hopelessness robs youth especially young men, of many opportunities. The Urban Ranger Corps aims to stem out this hopelessness.
The Urban Ranger Corps was founded in July 2003 by the Rev. John Wandless. Operations began in the summer of 2005 with the launching of the "Urban Ranger Program," a summer program with a Troop of 12 rangers. Priority for participation in the program was (and is) given to males attending high schools located within Kansas City, Missouri, and living in high-risk inner-city neighborhoods.
By the summer of 2008 the program was expanded into a year-round program, in 2011 the program added a summer internship project, and by 2014 we enrolled 72 Senior Rangers and 70 Junior Rangers. The Junior Ranger Program (rangers who are entering 7th and 8th grade) encourages rangers to make positive life decisions and to achieve passing grades in school, with the hope that they will become Senior Rangers when they enter their freshman year in high school.
Since its beginning, the Urban Ranger Corps has worked with more than 649 young men, many of whom have gone on to college, joined the military or entered into the workforce.
The Urban Ranger Corps (URC) is an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3), as of March, 2005, and classified as a "public charity" under section 509(a)(3), as of June, 2009, of the Internal Revenue Code.
What is an Urban Ranger? An Urban Ranger is a high school male that participates in our program.
How to become an Urban Ranger? You must fill out an application and go through an interview process. During the school year rangers are required to maintain a 2.5 grade point average and must perform 20 hours of community service.
What do the Urban Rangers do? Our rangers participate in an eight-week summer program that includes paid work experience, community service, leadership development workshops, a yearly float trip, and so much more.

A short story of the American Civil War
I wrote this story while staying in New Orleans in 2001. My father was a student of the American Civil War so I had been brought up on a credo of "The south will rise again..." (Not bad for an Englishman!). After a tour of the ante-bellum plantations along the Mississippi and drinking in the atmosphere of the French Quarter I had a head full of history. As I was sharing a room with a virtual stranger and suffering badly from jet lag, I scribbled this story down while sitting on the edge of a bath in my hotel room at 2.00am. If the house in my story bears a strong resemblance to the beautiful Oak Alley (pictured)... that is no coincidence!

Are there any updates to this card?
kinda makes a little bit of me want to trawl for another A600 - if their prices haven't skyrocketed on amibay or ebay!
[localism on] IGORE MAJSTORE! [localism off]
200 more Vamps coming out :-) Hope there are enough A600s, sadly none here. Improved board design looks nice and clean. Do they still smell on tobacco? :-) Will there be any in Amiga stores?
Indeed. Ive seen vendors reciving and announcing small batches of Vampires.
And Mike, in the original post of Igor he posts "We will provide more info very soon.".
I would assume how to get a card is part of that info.
I wouldn't jump to conclusions until an official word about how to obtain one is announced. As has been mentioned, any comments made about the production is speculation. Also a little patience and understanding about past difficulties with the manufacture of the V600 helps.
Unfortunately things occurred out of Kipper2K's control that involved the board manufacture in China being ditched and him having to step away from the project. He poured a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the project and has done a fantastic job under a combination of very difficult circumstances.
Now that productions of the V600 has started up again in Europe I'm sure we'll hear more soon.
We've waited extremely long to get the AMIGA we've all always wanted to see happen.
As extremely hard as it is to get a Vampire, it's also conversely as extremely excellent at attention to and execution of it's design, too!!!!!!
And it's extremely expensive compared to alternatives availble out there!
And we're willing to put up with all of it, even though there are faster, bigger capacity, more flexible, and portable systems that can be acquired, because the software and hardware paradigm come together to make for the extremely BEST electronic logic deduction (although usually using addition) machine that exists on Earth today!!!!!
(yeah, I just might be somebody that needs a bit of the medication)

PerformanceRevenue fell by 1% to an MM&M-estimated $105 million
Plans"It takes a long time to bring a good idea to market in healthcare, so there's a sense of 'I can't wait for the rest of the world to see this work'"
— Dave Sonderman
Prediction"Clients are looking for a commercial point of view that bridges a lot of capabilities and brings a lot of value"
— Doug Mills
Let's begin GSW's story with an anecdote about a large pharma agency that isn't GSW. Upon departing from that large agency, owned by a holding company that isn't GSW parent inVentiv Health, an executive bemoaned the headaches created by what the individual believed was deliberately staged Hunger Games–style competition between firms under the same roof.
"They wanted us to be at each other's throats," the executive said. "It didn't matter that we were all in one P&L. They thought competition made us stronger, but all it did was make everyone anxious all the time. You can't work like that — or you can, but if you do, the work suffers."
Contrast this with the responses from a trio of GSW executives when asked about the mechanics of its relationship with corporate parent inVentiv and its tens of sibling agencies. "The whole idea behind the creation of inVentiv Health in 2005 was that it was going to be a collaborative service offering, not a competitive one," says COO and CFO Doug Mills. "In traditional holding companies, there's less collaboration because there's not intended to be any collaboration — the intent is management of conflict. It's difficult to do, but we work hard and put big investments behind it."
GSW EVP and executive director of GSW New York Susan Perlbachs agrees and — based on her prior experience working for companies under the Omnicom, WPP, and IPG banners — she presumably knows what she's talking about.
"InVentiv is basically my Rolodex of 16,000 people. Occasionally there's proprietary information that our colleagues feel they can't share with us, but generally I feel I can pick up the phone and call anyone," she says. "More and more, clients are interested in [agency partners] who can have those conversations early and get that important background information versus the traditional holding company that walks in late in the game."
Then there's EVP and chief creative officer Dave Sonderman, who characterizes GSW's ability to avail itself of inVentiv's intellectual resources as "a wonderful unfair advantage." Sonderman uses that phrase while discussing the trend reports — consumer, digital, healthcare, and communications — assembled by GSW in concert with inVentiv Health Communications, the sixth version of which appeared earlier this year.
"They're about what is happening and what's about to happen," he explains. "It's something else that shows that the real power here is not just coming up with creative ideas, but ideas that exploit insights. We don't stop with paid advertising. We utilize the vast resources of inVentiv, in terms of social and PR, to make sure the work we're creating is being viewed, seen, and used where it's most helpful." Sonderman adds that "the whole point of the inVentiv model is we're synergistically drafting off each other."
It's tough to get a bead on the effect that GSW's close relationship with its inVentiv siblings had on the agency's 2016 results. The company is notoriously tight-lipped about client, brand, and financial details — which aren't broken down on a company level in inVentiv's 10-K filing, anyway.
GSW did reduce staff count in 2016, from 533 to 510. MM&M estimates a more or less flat year in terms of revenue — $105 million in 2016, down a touch from $106 million in 2015. A company spokesperson declined further comment on the estimate. There were fairly substantial changes on the personnel front. Former GSW North America president Marci Piasecki left the agency at the end of last year; as of late May, her old role had not been filled.
GSW did add a quartet of well-regarded execs elsewhere in the organization. They included EVP and managing director, GSW greater Philadelphia area Jon Nelson, formerly of PSL Group; VP and creative director Todd Henwood, formerly of FCB Health; SVP and group creative director Ram Gopalakrishnan, formerly of H4B Chelsea and H4B Catapult; and VP of technology Ken Fisher, formerly of Razorfish Global.
While GSW doesn't eagerly crow about its client work — Mills says he can only report "double-digit" wins in 2016 and another "half dozen" in Q1 2017, while Sonderman points to "significant" additions in the dermatology and ophthalmology spaces — the agency receives high marks from its industry peers for campaigns that hit the market last year.
In particular, Mills and Sonderman reference three campaigns touching three different therapeutic areas: for UCB's epilepsy drug Briviact, which launched into an increasingly crowded segment; for Shire's Vyvanse, as part of an effort to make the conversations around ADHD among patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers more effective; and for Endo Pharmaceuticals' Peyronie's disease drug Xiaflex, in a program designed to address the condition's psychological as well as physical impact.
"We're getting a lot of 'I didn't expect that a pharma agency could be this cool and do this kind of work,'" enthuses EVP and executive creative director Nick Capanear. "People from consumer [agencies] didn't know that you could do this kind of work in healthcare. Hopefully that gives us some sort of an advantage."
As GSW prepares to celebrate its 40th birthday later this year, look for the agency to attempt to exploit that advantage in an ever-tighter talent marketplace. Expect it to press forward in the realm of predictive modeling, a capability GSW grew in 2016 and the first half of 2017 in response to client demand. "Campaign analytics and measurement have been real pain points," Perlbachs explains. "There's no solution out there that clients are happy with." And look for GSW to continue in its role as industry thought leaders, especially when it comes to challenging the prevailing conventional industry wisdom.
"'Patient centricity' has been a real buzz phrase in the industry, and pharma companies have it all over their websites, but as an approach it hasn't necessarily moved the needle as much as clients and agencies thought it would," Perlbachs notes. "Kathleen Starr, one of our behavioral scientists, has been looking at patient centricity and thinks that what we all need to focus on is social centricity. That is, that we need to look beyond patients and examine their whole ecosystem, including family and social influences. For us, that's what's next." Sonderman agrees, adding, "We want to keep inspiring people to think differently about communicating in and around the healthcare space.

"This [new Earthwatch] project is a perfect combination, supporting environmental science and encouraging girls to pursue careers in this important area," said Amy Ruth Borun, Chair of the Borun Family Foundation.
LOS ANGELES / BOSTON (PRWEB) August 15, 2016
In July ten teenaged girls left their comfort zones in Los Angeles County to embark on a one-week archaeology-focused Earthwatch expedition in Colorado led by female scientists and storytelling experts.
For some, it was their first flight, first time seeing quite so many stars in the night sky, and first time in the stunning high desert landscape. For all, it was a unique opportunity to work alongside leading "real" scientists to dig into the past – unearthing the stories of Colorado's Pueblo and Basketmaker communities – as well as their own personal narratives.
"We've been sending students out into the fields for decades – and are always thrilled to hear how powerful the experience was for them," said Earthwatch CEO, Scott Kania. "But this pilot team focused on young women, science and storytelling really blew us away. We seemed to have hit on a kind of special sauce."
The new program, launched with seed funding from the Borun Family Foundation, aims to empower girls 15 to 18 years old to explore their passion for science while building STEM learning skills. In addition, they are mentored throughout the project by a storytelling professional to work on sharing their own personal stories – helping to build confidence, pride, and understanding.
"Our foundation looks for meaningful projects which fill gaps we see in funding of social and environmental needs," said Amy Ruth Borun, Chair of the foundation. "This project is a perfect combination, supporting environmental science and encouraging girls to pursue careers in this important area. We look forward to seeing the project grow in the future."
This year, the students traveled to the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Colorado where they worked with Dr. Susan Ryan and her predominantly female staff. They performed fieldwork all day and in the evenings, storyteller, author and educator Nora Dooley led them through a novel storytelling curriculum. The primary goal: to help the students find and tell their stories, and eventually hone them to powerful, three-minute narratives.
Dooley continues to mentor the girls and in the fall they will share their stories in front of families, teachers, and classmates at a special event in Los Angeles.
"Sometimes the greatest gift we can give to our students as educators and mentors is the sense of being able to accomplish anything that you set your mind to," said Ryan, whose path to becoming a scientist wasn't always linear. Ryan said working with the team reminded her of what it was like to be their age again – and that for some it can be a challenging time filled with self-doubt.
"With my time here, I've been able to learn things and I have had access to resources that I wouldn't have otherwise before," said student fellow Emily Wang. "This experience has really impacted me and helped me to feel that I can go into science."
Earthwatch Institute (earthwatch.org) is an international nonprofit organization that connects citizens with scientists to improve the health and sustainability of the planet. Since its founding in 1971, Earthwatch has empowered nearly 100,000 volunteers from all walks of life to join leading scientists on field research expeditions that tackle critical environmental challenges around the globe – from climate change to ocean health, human-wildlife conflict, and more. Earthwatch works with all sectors of society, from corporations to teachers, students, community leaders, zoos and aquaria, and more.

Schoolism lesson 1
This giraffe was the first assignment for my schoolism lessons. Not 100% happy with how his butt came out, but need to move on.
I was lucky enough to catch Schoolism's kickstarter and signed up for a years worth of classes. I'll be posting my work as I go through as many classes as I can in a year. Here's the very first semi-assignment. Study shapes and masses of a frog and then paint it. I didn't bother too […]
Exploring styles
We, Playtap, has started working on our second title and I'm exploring art styles for it. Here's a couple of exploration drawings.
Card Dungeon comes to steam
And with that I needed to create some achievement icons! Horray!
Drum Beat Academy
Rough logo sketch for a new drum academy that is starting up in Stockholm, Sweden. Had a lot of fun with this one and client seems really, really, happy with initial sketch.
Metal Music finished
Tshirt design that I did for a friend of mine who listens to a lot of, what he calls, growly bear metal. Basically where the singer growls like a bear instead of singing. Parts of the design is transparent (instruments, straps, buttons on amps) so whatever color of tshirt you pick, it's a bit unique. […]
Sea Creature
Really enjoyed working on this painting so I decided to push a little further and see what I can make out of it.

what's wrong with this picture?
John and I were recently called to serve on this year's youth conference committee for our stake. Yesterday morning, a group of us drove up to check out the campsite (which was reserved site unseen), to make sure it would not only accommodate some 200 youth and leaders, but that it would also allow us the opportunity to do all the recreational activities that we have planned. Because we would be meeting at the church at 6:00 am, we waited until the very last minute to load the kids in the car. We knew that the likelihood of accomplishing the task at hand, without disturbing them from their peaceful slumber, was nearly impossible; but, being as careful as we could, we lifted them from their beds, and fastidiously placed each in their appointed carseat. So far, everything was going according to plan. It wasn't until we had been driving for nearly 3 hours, and were less than 30 minutes from our destination, that our fun little family outing started going south. Ruby suddenly began to panic because she needed to go potty. She had gone to bed at 6:45 the night before (I know - totally unheard of for her...our zoo excursion must have completed wiped her out), and it was now around 8:30 in the morning. She had not emptied her bladder in over 14 hours. Because we were nowhere near an exit, and also because we were following another car, our options were limited. Why had I not even thought about taking her in to use bathroom before I loaded her up in the car? While She was in the back seat slipping into hysterics, I was in the front racking my brain for ideas. That's it...I would put a diaper on her. Ingenious. I even had a size 4 diaper in my bag from the zoo when my friend asked if I could carry it for her...her son never ended up needing it, and I forgot to give it back to her. Size four would be a little snug, but we could totally make it work. I convinced Ruby that this was our only option until we could get off at the exit; and somehow, she became almost excited about the idea. Unfortunately, by the time I made it into the back to remove her from her seat, I discovered that we were too late; and the only pair of clean and dry panties that we had on our trip, were, well - no longer clean and dry. I removed her wet bottoms, wiped up and dried off everything as best I could, and then put the diaper on her. She thought it was great until she realized that she still had to go potty. I assured her that it was ok to go in the diaper, but she was throwing a fit. To me that was a good sign, the girl doesn't like to wet herself. She finally surrendered, and filled the diaper. I didn't quite know what to do at that point...her panties were wet, the size 4 diaper was wet...we were definitely out of options. It was then that Ruby so brilliantly suggested that she wear one of Asher's. It was a struggle to force a size 3 diaper over her buns and around her waist...but we managed (and before the completion of our trip, we succeeded in squeezing her into three more).
We finally made it to the campsite; and while it was breathtakingly beautiful - rich, lush Ponderosa pines blanketing the entire landscape, and a lake for fishing and canoeing located just yards away - the terrain was rough, every few feet spotted with lava rock and tree stumps. It would be nearly impossible to set up 50 or more tents on that land. Plus, because the domain was so flat, the zip line would be a no go. And if that wasn't enough, we were told that we would not be permitted to use bows and arrows, or shoot rifles - two other activities that we had hoped to be able to provide for the youth. Needless to say, the cons of the campsite far outweighed the pros; and we were forced to begin the hunt for a new location. We drove to a neighboring site located about 8 miles away, but it was not quite what we had in mind either. After what seemed like hours of driving through canyons, and forests, dirt roads, construction zones, up and down hills, following endless bends and curves, and making countless u-turns, we finally found a place (about an hour away) that was equipped with almost everything we needed and wanted...plus it was big and open, and still quite beautiful. We were happy that the day wasn't a complete bust, and began our journey home. I think all that stop-and-go travelling - not to mention the windy roads - took it's toll on poor Ruby; because just a mile away from our exit, she threw up everywhere. John quickly veered off onto the shoulder, and both of us jumped out to begin the clean up. This fun little family day trip I had previously envisioned, had evolved into a strange series of misadventure and unfortunate events; and please make note, I have only disclosed about half of our family's misfortune for the day. Thankfully, at that point, we were just minutes from home; and I must say - walking in that door, almost never felt better...especially after John pointed out that we could have made it to Utah in the time we were non-stop changing diapers on a potty trained 3 year old, cleaning up vomit, and exploring every camp site in the state of Arizona.

Today I received an inbox message and friend request from an old 'friend' who asked me if I had deleted him from FB. I responded, 'yes, awhile ago'. He then asked, 'why would you do that'. 'I don't have the time or energy to explain.' Hours later he replied, and I quote: 'Don't worry about it, no love lost!!! Enjoy the rest of ur life'. I was contemplating responding in detail when he asked why I had deleted him, but really did not feel like dealing with an exchange. Plus, I do not think he would have understood anyway. I mean, how do you tell someone that you do not like being stood up and disregarded. Or how annoying it is that you are always trying to kiss me, as long as it is in private. Or how you call when the shit has hit the fan on whatever, tired-ass relationship you are involved in, acting like you have broken up. Then later count all the time you two have been together, including the times you are all up in my face asking what's up with my dating life. Or how you never seemed to make it work with me, but I have sat on the sidelines for years watching you give your all (as much as a whorish man can give) to other women. In all fairness, if you asked him, he would say the same thing about me. What is a non-bratty way of saying, you have never so much as bought me breakfast, let alone lunch or dinner, EVER. The last date we were on was in 1999. And furthermore, to show how important I am, you just realized that you have been deleted! I did that months ago!
I love him. But not in the 'I can't live without him' sort of way. More like, I love the fact that you are the only person I still know, outside of my family, who can say they knew me when I was a child. I mean, we have known each other so long, I could not tell you how long, or how we met even. That in itself is special. But not that special. For it is now the year 2011, and I MJ, know myself better now. I know what I will not put up with. I know that there is no reason to hang on to a distant memory, that I cannot even remember. I know that although life is not always going to be sweet, it sure as hell does not need to be bitter. I know that I do not like me when he is around, whether on the phone or in person. I become this giddy, silly little girl. Yes, I revert back to who I was when we first met, whenever that was. I feel unsure and self-conscious of everything. I yearn for his approval and wish, hope and pray that he will finally see me as the woman that I am. He claims he does, but he could not possibly see. If so, he would know how to treat me. So yes I love him, but I believe our friendship is better at a distance. It just feels better.
When I got home today, I saw that he had reneged on his friend request. That is fine with me. I decided that there was no reason to respond to his pouting. Antoine confirmed this. I let bygones be bygones. I am sorry he feels upset, but I am not sorry that I do not. I thought his final message was kind of funny. 'Enjoy the rest of ur life'. If I had to say anything in response, it would be: But of course, I've been doing it all along.

It is most important that your property is presented in the best possible condition in order to attract the most suitable tenant and achieve the best possible rental.
Sometimes we may advise that you need to redecorate individual rooms or perhaps the entire property. We may even advise that kitchens or bathrooms are updated or replaced.
Whether your property needs full refurbishment, including new carpets and curtains or just a coat of paint, you can rest assured that we will give you excellent advice and provide the support services needed to execute a timely and cost effective transformation if required.
It is essential that the property is professionally cleaned, including carpets and curtains, prior to renting and we can suggest suitable companies who have worked to our required standard.
It is also important that gardens are left in good condition with grass recently cut. If the tenant is responsible for maintaining the garden then suitable tools should be provided. For larger properties, with more extensive gardens, it is preferable to include a gardening service in the rental.
The garage, if any, should be swept and left empty other than for items for the tenant's use, i.e. gardening equipment.
We can also advise you on your obligations as a Landlord, such as current safety legislation, mortgage requirements, Income Tax implications and superior covenants and the provision of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) which we can arrange on your behalf.

How To Add That "POP" To Your Work Outfit
Ladies I'm certain you'll all agree with me that there are times when your work or formal school outfit becomes boring and you'll want to try some color-blocking or bold color combinations to bring joy to that outfit? Adding a pop of color, prints and pattern is fun, creative and exciting. Therefore i've compiled some tips
and ideas on how to add color to your formal attires (work, class, business meetings, etc). Be inspired!
➡ When putting a work look together, or any look for that matter,make use of these three color-shade approach. They are: The base, The accent and The pop (solid).
▶ The Base: This is the foundation of any outfit. They are neutral colors that form the bases of one's outfit and a must when pairing your complete attire. Typically, they are tailored pieces like your; suits, skirts, jackets, blazers, tailored shirt and pants and are usually in neutral colors like; white, black, navy, grey, brown, tan, came, olive, and so on.
▶ The Accent: These are items that helps bring together a complete attire. They are called complementing colors and they can either be neutral or solid (pop). Often it is the accent pieces that revives your base items and can be in outfits like; a cool blazer, a funky dress, a unique pants, a vintage top, etc. Unlike your base pieces that are versatile, accents are not-they are only worn to fulfil a current trend or taste.
▶ The Pop: These are items that add a pop to your outfit. While most ladies have base and accent in their wardrobe, the pop is what most women are missing. The pop is the flavor of the outfit, the finishing components that takes up a little percentage of your complete ensemble.
➡ To combine an outfit using this approach, you need to start with the base which is the foundation of the outfit. Next you choose your accent and then the pop.
Take note of these tips:
⚫The accent and the pop should always complement each other. Like pink and green, navy and yellow, purple and grey, coral and turquoise, for example...
⚫When choosing your pop, decide carefully which item you want to add color to. For example, if you are wearing a patterned or solid skirt or pants (accent) then your pop should be in complementing colors.
⚫Another way to choose your pop is to pull out one of the shades found in the accent (especially if it's patterned) and use as the pop.
Here are some looks i created to help inspire you:
|Base: Pants, Accent: Turtle-neck top, Pop: Scarf and Bag
|Base: Blouse, Accent: Skirt, Pop: Earrings and ring
|Base: Skinny pants, Accent: Blouse, Pop: Shoes
|Base: Pants, Accent: Blouse, Pop: Blazers and Bag
|Base: Blazers, Accent: Skirt, Pop: Blouse, Shoes and Bag
|Base: Blazers, Accent: Skirt, Pop: Blouse and Bag
|Base: Blazers, Accents: Skirt, Pop: Blouse and Bag
|Base: Skirt, Accent: Blouse, Pop: Shoes and Purse
|Base: Blazers, Accent: Blouse, Pop: Skirt and Shoes
|Base: Skinnies, Accent: Blouse, Pop: Shoes
|Base: Blouse, Accent: Skirt, Pop: Shoes and Bag
|Base: Skirt, Accent: Blouse, Pop: Shoes
|Base: Blouse, Accent: Skirt, Pop: Bag and Accessories
The next time you feel bored and unispired in what you are wearing, look to see if you are missing some Pop. This small difference can have a huge impact on the stylishness of an outfit. So let your work attire make your week beautiful...xoxo

The Harris County shotgun team made a trip to Ohio last week worthwhile by bringing home some trophies and medals for its efforts.
Harris County proved to be a formidable foe in the 2017 Scholastic Clay Target Program National Championship, as it captured its 18th championship in program history. The title capped off a strong season of shooting for a Harris County squad which had missed nationals the last two years.
"It is was an honor to represent Harris County on such an elite level as the national competition," head coach Angie Everson said. "The athletes performed well against some very stiff competition. They had the drive, the focus and the determination to give 100 percent on the field, and then they were champions."
The competition featured around 2,800 shooters from 26 states, but the Harris County competitors were still at the forefront in many events.
Harris County's Avery Lawski, Gabriel Tharpe and Harrison Tew took first place in the senior varsity skeet main event and the senior varsity skeet high school division. Harlan Brooks, Ashton Curry and Clay Weaver claimed fourth in the intermediate entry skeet and third in senior varsity skeet doubles. The team claimed fifth in the nation in the national high overall among high school squads.
Three Harris County shooters also placed as individuals at nationals. Tew took first place in high overall senior varsity skeet, Brooks placed third in intermediate entry skeet, and Luke Weaver claimed fourth in intermediate advanced for sporting clay.
"I, along with the rest of the coaching staff, are very proud of these athletes," Everson said. "We could not have asked for more of them. Their shooting abilities, dedication and integrity on the field were impressive to see."

Podiatry is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower leg.
The term podiatry came into use first in the early 20th century United States, where it now denotes a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), a specialist who is qualified by their education and training to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg.
Within the field of podiatry, practitioners can focus on many different specialty areas, including surgery, sports medicine, biomechanics, geriatrics, pediatrics, orthopedics, or primary care.

HTC U11 Plus review, HTC U11 Plus hands-on, HTC U11 Plus spesification – You might be as surprised as me to learn that HTC still has a couple of new smartphones under its belt. You'd think, following the Google acquisition, that the firm would be absorbed into the big search giant once and for all, especially after the HTC-made Pixel 2 made its debut just a few weeks ago. You'd be wrong.
Among these new handsets is the HTC U11 Plus, a slight upgrade to HTC's not so outdated U11 flagship released earlier in the year. It has a larger bezel-less display and a slightly bigger battery, so it's essentially more of a slight refresh than a total rejig. Huzzah.
HTC U11 Plus review: What you need to know
The HTC U11 Plus is the Taiwanese firm's latest flagship. Created in an effort to boost its predecessor into the tail end of 2017, this slightly improved version is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 processor and includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage expandable via microSD.
That's much the same, but this time around there's a 6in QHD+ display on the front and a slightly bigger battery, complete with a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera, with a wide f/1.7 aperture.
HTC U11 Plus vs HTC U11: What's the difference?
The HTC U11 Plus has a slightly larger 6in Super LCD display and this has a long-tall 18:9 aspect ratio, just like Samsung's Galaxy Note 8. As a result, the resolution is slightly different to the original's: it's 2,880 x 1,440.
Other than that, the HTC U11 Plus sees slightly improved IP-68 dust- and water-resistance, and has a bigger 3,930mAh battery. Android Oreo is also available straight out of the box. In all other respects, other than the higher price, it's almost identical to the older HTC U11.
HTC U11 Plus review: UK price, release date and competition
The HTC U11 Plus is available to preorder from 20 November 2017 for £699. That's the same price as Razer's recently announced Razer Phone (£699) and is £70 more than the HTC-made Google Pixel 2 (£629). The fresh-faced Mate 10 also makes an appearance, at £699.
HTC U11 Plus review: Design, key features and first impressions
Aside from the bezel-less display (more on that later) the HTC U11 Plus is hauntingly familiar. Unlike the model it one-ups, the phone is available in only one colour this time: Ceramic Black, with a Translucent Black coating launching later next year.
As before, the rear is coated in a mirror-finish rear panel topped with glass that veers between a subtle reflective grey and a darker black, depending on where you catch the light. It's still a marvellous sight, although I can't say I'm not disappointed at the lack of more vibrant colour choices.
Elsewhere, both the volume rocker and power button are sensibly placed on the right edge, with the solitary USB-C port on the bottom. Don't hold your breath for HTC including the 3.5mm headphone jack, as there isn't one.
As for the display, the HTC U11 Plus follows the same long, tall and bezel-free fad as its cutthroat competition. Its entire front is dominated by an arresting 6in QHD+ display, with very little bezel on show, bar a sliver at both the top and bottom.
As for software, other than the appearance of Android Oreo, Edge Sense has been updated. Yes, that squeezy gimmick from earlier in the year (and with the Pixel 2's) has a new feature: press the sides hard and it'll bring up a rotary wheel of your favourite apps. Handy.
HTC U11 Plus review: Early verdict
The HTC U11 Plus may bring a bezel-less display, a bigger battery and Android Oreo to the table, but it doesn't offer much else than its older alternative hasn't already. The biggest issue is that this small list of improvements have somehow necessitated a sizeable price hike.
You see, this plus variant is £50 more than what the HTC U11 originally launched at. Blame Brexit all you want, but I can't see the U11 Plus being a popular choice anytime soon, especially considering the firm did such a bang-up job with the Pixel 2.
As always, I'm open to being proven wrong – and await our review unit – but I suspect my conclusion will be something like the following. "Do yourself a favour and grab the older but significantly cheaper U11 or better still, save yourself some pennies and pick up the excellent Pixel 2 instead."
|Octa-core 2.45GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 835
|Screen size
|Screen resolution
|2,880 x 1,440
|Screen type
|Super LCD

|Rear camera

Thank for your visiting on this page HTC U11 Plus review: HTC is back, but is this slight upgrade worth the wait?, We hope this post can be a good reference for you and provide useful information for you :-).

A Livingston man recently had partial knee replacement surgery. On the surface that's nothing new.
But the surgeon who performed replacement had some help from a hand-held robot.
Mark Baker, who lives in Livingston, needed knee surgery.
"I was ready for it. I was in a lot of pain. I was ready to get it done," said Baker
Baker's surgery was about 10 weeks ago and the recovery has been going better than expected.
"I was very happy that I seemed to progress through it great and I think a big part of it is the robotic-assisted surgery," said Baker.
In fact, Baker was one of the first patients in Montana to have robotics-assisted partial knee replacement surgery. The surgery was performed by Dr. Martin Gelbke, an orthopedic surgeon with Bridger Orthopedic. Bridger Orthopedic recently purchased the robotic system which is the first in the state.
"Robotic-assisted surgery allows us to more accurately place implants and quite honestly it takes some of the error out of the surgeon," explained Gelbke.
The surgery requires no CT scans or MRIs because the robot does it all during surgery, mapping out a plan and then helping the doctor execute it.
Dr. Gelbke likens the surgery to a child's coloring book.
"It won't allow you to color outside the lines," he said. "So, we use a high-speed burr rather than a saw at present at least to remove the bone that we want to remove in order to place the implant. If you try to get outside of the lines so to speak that we've created with our model, the robotics system won't allow you, the burr will retract and it won't allow you to cut and it won't allow you to go too deep."
"So it really does execute the plan that we create," Gelbke said.
The result is a knee replacement that may last longer and work better.
For Baker, his expectations are pretty simple.
I'm hoping I can keep up with my 2 sons and chase elk like I used to not have to wince."
So far, Dr. Gelbke has performed about 12 robotics-assisted partial knee replacements. The robotics-assisted surgery comes at no extra cost to the patient.

Tactical Laser Tag
Not your father's laser tag
Buffalo Battleground offers a revolutionary laser tag experience.
Unlike traditional laser tag which consists of space age phazers, neon bunkers and a single game mode played over and over, our laser tag mimics modern video games that kids and adults already love; such as Call Of Duty & Battlefield.

"We're all influenced by each other. Yeah a lot of girls don't have that finesse when they way they do it, but you know a true trend setter sets the trends and knows when to walk away from them."
-Jack Davey On Copycats
In an industry where artists gain kudos for their effect on various markets, many fail drastically… especially those who try to take a stab at post R&B/Soul. There are those like Santigold and Janelle Monae and there are others such as J*DaVeY. Miss Jack Davey's ultra-unique voice and Brook D'Leau's fantastic musical voyage (Hip-Hop, electro, funk and new wave) are truly a bundle of eclecticism, suitable each type of audible tastemaker.
The duo band has been ruling the underground for quite sometime, appealing to the misfits of the underworld with double disc The Beauty In Distortion/The Land Of The Lost and most recently, EP Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes.
But don't think J*DaVeY is just another best kept secret. Miss Jack Davey has done her part in sharing the wealth of her voice- even featured on alongside some familiar Hip-Hop cats. For someone who doesn't listen to much rap music, Miss Jack can surely be caught dropping some bars on J Dilla's Jay Love Japan track "Red Light." Even if she isn't dropping rhymes, you know who you're dealing with. In fact, do the necessary research, for J*DaVeY has collaborated with fellow Californians Pacific Division and Blu, as well as Little Brother's Phonte. Although it isn't about name-dropping, J*DaVeY even opened for Prince.
While in DC for a tour stop, AllHipHop's Diane "Shabazz" Varnie talked to the duo and was iin awe of the creative explosion. Prior to the show, J* DaVeY talk about upcoming projects excluding music, her thoughts on today's female rappers and more.
AllHipHop.com: J*Davey have been around in the underground for quite some time now. What's going on now in days?
Jack Davey: Our theme has really been about building a brand that's beyond music and encompassing all of our talents. So we've just been working on that while touring and doing shows, and directly connecting with our fans. We've also been doing merchandise. A lot of art related things that aren't specifically music. Because now in days you have to a lot more than just the music. We've been looking towards branding a lot more.
AllHipHop.com: So besides music, what are some of the other art-related things that you guys are working on branding?
Jack Davey: Fashion definitely. I've been collaborating on a line called Lady Tripper, which is a lot of feather and lace pieces, which I'll be wearing tonight. He [Brook D'Leau] has been collaborating on head pieces and a few garments. We've also been doing like a fan-zine for our fans. More video projects as well. We've been talking about doing a short that we'll score and possibly star in. Just a lot of different things.
AllHipHop.com: I have seen the tumblr blog page and all the love you guys received from your fans. How has social media been successful for J*Davey?
Jack Davey: We've always been a group that always takes it straight to the people. Our fanbase is so strong… so die-hard that we have to directly connect with them. That's always our goal. If we have the support of the people, then we'll be able to stick around for a long time. So that's important to us. Nurturing our fanbase.
AllHipHop.com: Being independent for majority of your career, how does it feel to be signed to Warner Bros Records?
Jack Davey: I mean it's been about the same. The state of the labels now call for you to be a self-detained artist. You have to be able to push yourself and do your own work… your own everything. So we're used to that, it's really made us work a lot harder.
AllHipHop.com: So ya'll basically get a lot of freedom.
Jack Davey: We have a lot of freedom, yeah. I mean that's the type of band that we are. We have to have the freedom to just be who we are… or else it's not going to work.
J*DaVeY – "Mr. Mister"
AllHipHop.com: Usually record labels go for the next best thing. Of course J*DaVeY is unorthodox when it comes to this aspect of marketing and appeal to the game. How has J*DaVeY's journey been as far as paving a self lane?
Jack Davey: It's always takes a little longer, but I mean it's fine. I think there's room for all of that- mainstream, underground. There's room for everyone to do everything that they do. We just maintain, do what we do, and keep evolving. We're always evolving and moving up to the next plate. We try to stay consistent.
AllHipHop.com: I agree that there's room for everyone, but J*Davey has been around for some time. Being that the safest genre to pin you guys to is R&B/Soul, do ya'll ever feel like dues aren't being paid when due? Lack of recognition? How do you feel about the industry and the so called "originality?"
Jack Davey: I mean sometimes it's easy to feel entitled for certain ideas, so sometimes we just have to snap ourselves back into reality and know that we're merely vessels of a genius that is present in the world. We're not the only ones that are going to enjoy that genius. As long as the ideas are out there and people are exposed to great things, that's all that matters. Whether it comes from us or not. We have done a lot of things that people have failed to do before we did them. But to take credit, it's egotistical. We just keep doing more things and the credit will come. But you know getting credit for a hairstyle or a particular outfit is bullsh** in the bigger picture.
AllHipHop.com: It's funny you mention that. Everyone knows you for your stable image, stamped with the infamous haircut that we're now seeing more in the mainstream avenue. Most noted for jacking the hairstyle from you is Cassie. How do you feel about people saying she took the style from you?
Jack Davey: I mean I followed the girl that used to cut my hair was the first person I saw [with this haircut] and I was like "Whoa, that's bold as hell. I wanna do that." We're all influenced by each other. Yeah a lot of girls don't have that finesse when they way they do it, but you know a true trend setter sets the trends and knows when to walk away from them. Not to toot my own horn, but you it's to be done, it's to be copied. That's what the art is there for. To be shared.
AllHipHop.com: One thing for sure is the spotlight California has slowly been regaining. A lot of your fellow artists such as Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, Jay Rock and more are now emerging as the west coast's next promising artists. How do you feel about that? Especially since J*Davey's is apart of that in a sense.
Jack Davey: I think it was all just a matter of time. We were all working, we were all doing our stuff- especially us and Sa-Ra. We were all coming up around the same time. It's been about the south for a long time, and the east for a long, and now it's just time for a new west coast type of vibe. I think it was just a matter of time before it all just blows.
AllHipHop.com: Despite music, what gets your creative juices on a day-to-day basis? What inspires you?
Jack Davey: Everything. People. I love to people watch and just listen. People don't even realize that I'm listening. I love to be a voyeur of the world. That's where I get all of my inspirations from.
AllHipHop.com: You're usually singing, but you have some tracks that you've spit a few bars on, such as "HI'S & LO'S." How do you feel about the current females in the hip-hop game and the way some are being perceived as gimmicks?
Jack Davey: I think it's unfortunate that females feel like they way to portray that same image over and over again just to get out there, but I don't know. I mean it's been done so many times and I'm personally desensitized and not interested in it. I mean I guess as long as we have one champion at a time, that's better than nothing I guess.
J*DaVeY – Crawl All Over (off Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes)
AllHipHop.com: Have you been following this oil spill business? How hip are you when it comes to that?
Jack Davey: I'm hip enough to know that it's f**cked up. I heard about what happened here today. D.C. experienced a random oil spill where all the streets were flooded with oil. All the streets were shut down. It's not just a gulf problem, it's everybody's problem. This is going to affect how we eat and how certain parts of the country make their money. Sea food is the lively hood of the gulf. If you take the sea food away then… I mean you deprive certain people of culture. I think it would have been a dope form of protest just to basically say "Hey, this affects all of us. What if this happened in your neighborhood?" It's really unfortunate.
AllHipHop.com: On Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes, I couldn't help but have a stand-outish ear for the "Outta The Window," track. Though all of your music is eclectic, you guys went kind of went left-field with this track- if that's even possible. The track places me in the 60s scenario involving on a beach and a lot of California sun, chillin' with some funky company. How was the studio session going into the recording of this track?
Jack Davey: I actually heard the track from this producer named Khari Ferrari Mateen, whom we collaborated with a lot. He's right in our same vibes. He's lives in Philly, but he's a California kid. I heard the track and I loved it. I just started coming up with some sing-songy melody. It was kind of dark, but it was kind of focused on what I was saying. He also did "Venus To Mars," which I just really connect with his music so much because it's like we're of the same tribe. Going into it… I don't know. I don't really know where I am mentally or spirituality when I write or record anything. It's always different.
AllHipHop.com: Now with you Brook D'Leau, your style of beat-making is absolutely supreme. It's truly unusual and challenges the mind to understand beat structure on a different plane. I truly believe you have the ability to be mentioned amongst fellow noted Los Angeles producers. So if you were in a battle with Flying Lotus, Dam-Funk and Madlib, what would be their strengths, and who would win?
Brook D'Leau: I've always appreciated Madlib's authenticity- not to say that any of the other artists don't have it, but I feel like he always tried his hardest to stay within that. Lotus is crazy. His shit is all over the place on a extreme mind idea behind what he does. Dam-Funk is just keeping it west coast and funky. So it's all really different. Even for myself, J*Davey's stuff is a bit more psychedelic… a little bit more trippy. But in a beat battle, I'd have to go with Lotus. He's a beast. If you were in a battle like that, I just don't see any body really knocking him out the box right now.
AllHipHop.com: So what's next or J*Davey? Have ya'll gotten a chance to work on any new projects or material while touring?
Brook D'Leau: Constantly. We never- well we haven't necessary flooded the market with stuff. We like to be selective when we're releasing things. It has to be right more so than "I feel like putting out some music right now." It has to mean more than that. So whenever we expose something to the public, it has to make sense. But we're always working on stuff.
AllHipHop.com: Any name for the next project? Set date for release?
Brook D'Leau: Not as of yet. We've been doing more writing than anything, but I think everyone will kind of understand what we've doing this year. I think Jack was talking about this earlier, but it's more than just music. It's it encompassing lifestyle that goes along with this. So you'll be seeing other projects as well aside from the musical ones.
AllHipHop.com: So overall when you guys universally make it, what it something you guys want to be known for?
Jack Davey: I wouldn't mind being moralized like Iggy Pop. Iggy Pop was one of the founders of punk [rock] music in the 60s. He inspired David Bowie and all the little punk rockers. He didn't really start getting his dues until recently. Now everyone is a Iggy Pop and a Stooges fan. I think our music- and Sa-Ra's too, and a lot of out musical peers, in 20 years, we're all going to be the kids heros. Those are the crystal children, the young indigos that are really going to understand what we're trying to accomplish. I think we missed this generation by a long shot, but that next generation, being born now, our music for them. They're going to revive us and they're going to make us legendary. We'll probably still be traveling and doing J*Davey. That's cool.
AllHipHop.com: I know you probably listen to your iPod on random, but when it comes to Hip Hop, is their anyone that you're digging? Anybody that you're listening to?
Jack Davey: I don't really listen to a lot of Hip Hop… I can say that, sadly. But I've always been a Busta Rhymes fan. When ever Busta Rhymes does something new, I usually pay attention because he's pretty consistent. I'm also pretty random. If I hear something and I like it, that's what it is. I don't have too many current favorites. It's just sad because there are a lot of people doing some cool things, I'm so disconnected so I wouldn't know.
AllHipHop.com: When you're jamming to something, what are you usually listening to?
Jack Davey: When I'm in my car, I usually listen to the classic rock station or college radio, which plays a lot of off-beat, older things. I listen to a lot of old stuff. I've been listening to listening to a lot of The Prodigy. I listen to a lot of psychedelic stuff. Ol stuff, because like I said, everything is the same. You really don't know what's what. But of course I love Little Dragon, Muhsinah. I love Muhsinah and I love Elevator Flight… Brooke who else do we listen to?
Brooke D'Leau: Def Sound.
Jack Davey: Brook has been working with Def Sound lately. It's dope. It's inspiring. We've been working on music for so long. That's another thing. We like to step out and work with other artists on a production, writing tip. You know, taking the focus away from us having to do all the work. Going towards something new.
AllHipHop.com: I usually ask "What are you're last words for Hip Hop," but in your case, I think it better to ask what are your last words for the world.
Jack Davey: Live life and don't… do what you want to do regardless of what people have to say and how they're going to feel. Always do you. Stay in your lane. Know what works for you, and do it to the best of your ability.
J*DaVeY – "Get Together"

Impotence otherwise known as
erectile dysfunction, in the medical field is a prevalent sexual dysfunction among the male folks. In its simplest meaning, it is a situation where the man is unable to, or finds it hard to attain or maintain a penis erection that is sufficiently rigid for vaginal penetration during sexual intercourse.
The incidences of erectile dysfunction increases with age, therefore, this problem is more prominent among the older men but it has not been associated with a symptom of aging. Impotence occurs when it is continuously and consistently difficult for a man to have a sustained or rigid erection during sex. If this condition is left untreated, it makes sexual intercourse practically impossible for the man.
It_is_believed that a man is suffering from erectile dysfunction if he consistently finds it hard to maintain a rigid erection that can ensure he successfully penetrate the vagina or obstructs other sexual activities which are non-penetrative.
For most men, they have at one time or another experienced some challenges in getting their penis staying hard or rigid. This does not necessarily mean such cases are incidences of erectile dysfunction. It can only be a cause for concern if there has been a consistent unsatisfactory sexual performance for a period of time.
It is not really a problem when erection is not achieve or maintain now and then, but when erection is not achieve for more than 50% of those occasions it may be a sign that there is an erectile dysfunction which needs to be treated.
Erectile dysfunction or
impotence is a serious cause of worry to the man as well as his partner. It may be a temporary condition that will just disappear most times even without any treatment, and it can as well be a continuous problem which needs to be treated. It is not just the sexual drive of most men that is affected by erectile dysfunction, it also affects their ability to get orgasm when he achieves erection.
As stated earlier, it is not really a problem when erection is not achieved or maintain now and then. However, if impotence becomes an ongoing problem, it is the causal factor of stress, negatively impacts your self-confidence and may lead to problems in your relationship. Erectile dysfunction can as well be a symptom of other health problems that needs to be treated. And in the long run, it may be a risk factor for heart disease.

The address was publicly viewed by the people of Sedibeng through a satellite broadcast around the district, and by many seated at home on DSTV. The event was attended by 600 guests at the Vereeniging Civic Theatre. Four (4) satellites were activated and viewed at the Saul Tsotetsi Sports Complex Hall in Sebokeng, Sicelo Multi-purpose Centre in Midvaal, Ratanda Multi-Purpose Centre. In Lesedi and also Vanderbijlpark Sakekamer, members were gathered at the Three Rivers Lodge to view this broadcast.
Service delivery progress was the centre of the Mayors' address, commitments and the municipality's achievements of the past financial year included remarkable awards for clean audit for the best performing municipality in South Africa.
He furthermore touched on the growth of the retail centres; he singled out the recent developments of Sedibeng which included Thabong Shopping Centre in Sebokeng, Evaton Shopping Mall, President Hyper, River Walk in Three Rivers and Savanah City residential houses in Meyerton which are the economical facets implemented in the region in the current financial year.
In his speech the Executive Mayor expanded on the key developmental areas of advancing Sedibeng into a Metropolitan city and most fundamentally improving Growth and Development Strategy and 2015/16 Integrated development plan (IDP) and budget allocated based on the priorities agreed with the stakeholders for the year.
The Vaal River City Development is one of the key projects in the Southern side that accelerates economic transformation of the Sedibeng District area and it is among the five Development Corridors announced by the Premier during his February 2015 State of the Province Address.
The development corridors are a public private partnership through which a balanced economic growth, infrastructure development, sustained employment and significant economic empowerment across the entire Gauteng City Region will be achieved. The Vaal River City development is estimated to be worth between R7 and R11 billion and will create approximately 7 500 jobs in the construction phase alone and also facilitate economic growth in the region.
This year's state of the district address noted all the future plans with regard to human settlements over the next four years. Over 120 000 houses in the Southern Sedibeng Corridor will be built, amongst the areas are; Boiketlong, Golden Gardens, Evaton, Vereeniging, Savanah City as already mentioned, Ratanda and the R59 Corridor.
Mayor further alluded on the remembrance of the 113th year of the Peace Treaty of Vereeniging. "This treaty ended the Second Anglo-Boer War better referred to as the South African War, which was between the South African Republic and the Republic of the Orange Free State against the British Empire this is but just one of the historic events which placed Sedibeng on the map of world history", said Executive mayor.
Sedibeng has established two 'Game changers' one is called a 'hydrotropolis'. It aims to improve local government performance's forthcoming implementation of the new Metropolitan Precinct, new Retail Developments, Residential Developments, A Marina and Lifestyle Centre along the banks of the Vaal River stretching from Vaal Marina in the East to Vaal Oewer in the West.
The second significant 'Game Changer' for Sedibeng will focus on the acceleration and development of the 'Agritropolis'. This colossal multi- faceted project includes wide-ranging interventions, among others are the established underperforming farms, release of land for new farming initiatives, improvement of infrastructure to supply inputs to the farms as well as facilitating distribution, realign and expand the Vereeniging Fresh Produce market.
This Southern Corridor is the Provincial plans for the people of Sedibeng. The Gauteng Provincial Government seeks to create an even and equitable development across the province as the premier openly declared.
The theme for this year being "Celebrating the Achievements of 21 Years of Democratic Local Government" clearly stipulate that Sedibeng District Municipality is on the right path to deliver a good service to its residents as it continues to bring transition and radical socio-economic transformation.

A year Ago in TreeHugger: The Beauty of Windfarms
A year ago we quoted David Suzuki on the beauty of windfarms: "From my porch on a good day you can see clear across the waters of Georgia Strait to the snowy peaks of the rugged Coast Mountains. It is one of the most beautiful views I have seen. And I would gladly share it with a wind farm." and " a blanket "not in my backyard" approach is hypocritical and counterproductive" He also noted that "in the US, the Cape Wind Project, which would site 130 wind turbines off the coast of affluent Cape Cod, Massachusetts, has come under fire from famous liberals, including Senator Edward Kennedy and Walter Cronkite." Well it took a year but they finally managed to kill the Cape Wind project this week- one would think that another year into this crisis, attitudes might have changed for the better but NIMBY lives. ::David Suzuki is worth re-reading.

It's always a goose-bump experience when we watch, listen to great musicians at their work. Some people have this thought that only the young ones are able to pick-up music and not the older ones. The truth is, when you have a desire to learn an instrument and you are not totally tone deaf, there is always hope for you.
I started learning keyboard by ear when i was in college then proceed to classical training. It was a struggle but nevertheless rewarding. With time constraints and other commitments, i may not join the orchestra or become music professor but there are other avenues for me.
Well, i stumbled upon this website selling software on how to read music using FUN computer software. I saw the features and its screenshots, i must say its attractive.
So you have children who is playing piano or adults who are starting on it, this is a good investment. Though it may seem so 'kiddish' like but the contents are good. And it has a 30 day money back guarantee. It cost US29.95. You make your own conversion wherever you are.

Govt approves 33 per cent Reservation for Women in Non-Gazetted Police Posts in UTs
Sponsored links
The Union Cabinet of the Modi government, chaired by the Prime Minister himself, has approved 33 per cent reservation for women – horizontally and each category (OBC, SC, ST, and others) in direct recruitment in all non-gazetted Police Posts in all Union Territories including Delhi.
The Cabinet also approved that all UT police forces should make necessary amendments in their recruitment rules to accommodate this change. The reservation has been made available to women against all these vacancies (for example, vacancies for the posts of constable, sub-inspector, and so on) from the date of issue of the order.
Experts say this is indeed a step in the right direction to increase women's representation in police forces which in turn, will help the police become more gender sensitive.
It is also likely to encourage women to report crime without any fear or hesitation as and when required. It has been often observed that a lot of women do not usually approach the police even under dire circumstances for the fear that they might have to reveal their ordeal to a male police officer. This is particularly true for crimes involving sexual assaults. Therefore, the absence of an adequate gender representation has been often cited as a huge barrier in implementation of legislations made for the protection of women.
The Justice (Retd.) Verma Report, the Ministry of Home Affairs, submitted after the infamous 2013 Delhi gang rape also recommended that reports of crime against women and their statement are collected by women police officers only.
