Before we get into the news, let's talk about all things VR and AR that have been going on on the site this week. Team US has been hanging out at the Augmented World Expo, seeing all the latest innovations in the world of AR trying out Kopin's smartphone powered smartglasses and an oxygen mask to help save pilot's lives. We also picked out our current Samsung Gear VR app and game faves.

BBC will show 2018 World Cup in VR
The big tournament is just a couple of weeks away and if you're not planning to be out in Russia and want to get a little closer to the action, the Beeb wants to help make that happen. As well as confirming the World Cup will get the Ultra HD treatment, all of the 33 matches shown on the channel will be available to watch for free in VR on BBC's VR 2018 World Cup app.
Set to be compatible with Apple, Android, Gear VR, Oculus Go and PlayStation VR devices, fans will be able to sit in their own virtual private box and watch the action. You can sit behind either one of the goals and get live match stats that pop up from a virtual coffee table. There'll also be a daily highlights package to view when you're waiting for the next live game to kick off.
New Xiaomi VR headset is essentially an Oculus Go
Xiaomi unveiled a whole lot of new tech at its Shenzen event this week. There were new phones, the Mi Band 3 and a shiny new standalone VR headset too. The Mi VR Standalone looks familiar and that's because it is basically the Oculus Go, which Facebook worked with Xiaomi to build. It's powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor and has a 2K screen with integrated speakers a controller. Of course, there's absolutely no need to connect it to a computer or a smartphone to power it, either.
Venues lets you watch gigs on Oculus Go and Gear VR
Sticking with all things Oculus Go, you can now watch live sporting events, concerts, and comedy shows through Oculus VR's new Venues platform. Set to be available for Go and Gear VR owners, a host of live events that will be streamed live in VR has been announced kicking off with a Vance Joy concert and also includes a Gotham Comedy Live show, which will be streamed live from New York City over the coming months.
To help make it feel like you're watching with a crowd, Venues will also populate the virtual viewing spot with virtual avatars if you don't like the idea of an intimate show just for you. Although, maybe that's your thing.
LG uses AI to cure VR motion sickness
There's no getting away from the fact that while VR headsets are getting more sophisticated, there's still a fair few people who feel queasy spending some time in the immersive realms. LG has partnered with Songang University to develop optimized algorithms that eliminate latency and motion-blur associated with VR motion sickness.
Snapchat's dev kit to let people tap into its AR camera
We are going to round things off with some AR news and Snapchat's plans to launch a developer program that will allow third party apps to embrace its augmented reality camera features. The platform is expected to be called SnapKit and would signal and end to the company's very closed approach to let others tap into their user base.
Play this: Sea of Memories
One for Vive, Rift and Windows Mixed Reality headset owners, Sea of Memories is a VR puzzler based on solving optical illusions, so it's all about taking full advantage of viewing things from all angles. There's 100 puzzles to solve in visually beautiful surroundings and it makes a change from the VR games that are all about shooting things. This slice of laid back gaming is available on Steam, priced at $9.99.
Watch this: Insomniac Games tease
We don't have your usual 360-degree video for your this week, but we do have a video that VR gamers will certainly be interested in. E3 is looming and Insomniac Games (Ratchet and Clank, Spyro, Sunset Overdrive) is teasing the unveiling of a new, open-world VR game. The game developer talks of a new way to freely roam worlds in VR that works a bit differently to the teleportation features we've seen used in a lot of games. We'll find out more on 7 June, but for now you can check out the video to hear what the team could have in store.

Hacienda Tres Rios Resort Named "Mexico & Central America's Leading All-Inclusive Resort" in the 2012 World Travel Awards
Hacienda Tres Ríos Resort, Spa & Nature Park received the prestigious 2012 World Travel Award in the All Inclusive Resort category, naming the company the best in the business in all of Mexico and Central America.
Based on a survey involving 167,000 travel agencies, industry professionals and the general public from more than 160 countries, the resort (which forms a part of Sunset World Resorts & Vacation Experiences)was thrilled to accept this award as the best in the industry, worldwide.
"By receiving this award, we know that we are doing things right and that inspires us to work harder. We are always looking to satisfy our guests and to keep Mexico at the top of the list of incredible vacation spots," said Orlando Arroyo Marroquín, President of the Board of Directors of Sunset World.
Hacienda Tres Ríos is an environmentally friendly, five-star, 273-suite resort that opened at the end of 2008 and was constructed in a 326-acre nature park, where you can find jungles, mangroves and coastal dunes. It has received six coveted accolades from the World Travel Awards, an organization which is considered the Oscars of the tourist industry and which has been recognizing the merits of companies with the highest standards in quality and service around the world since 1993.
In 2009, Hacienda Tres Ríos hosted this prestigious awards ceremony's first visit to Mexico, where over 200 travel industry leaders attended. On that particular occasion, the hotel received three awards: Mexico's Leading All-Inclusive Resort, Central America & Mexico's Leading All-Inclusive Resort and Central America & Mexico's Leading Green Hotel. A year later, Mexico's Leading All-Inclusive Resort Award and the Central America & Mexico's Leading Green Hotel Award were once again bestowed upon the hotel.
This year, the World Travel Awards' red carpet gala was held at the Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Village with the best in the international travel industry in attendance.
Graham E. Cooke, President and Founder of the World Travel Awards, concluded the event with the following comment:
"Winning this award is the best compliment one in the travel industry can receive. It is the representation of all the hard work and dedication to excellence that you have all been striving to achieve."

My box of December Empties is already full but I'm still struggling with finishing this post. #cestlavieavecunbebe
CAUDALIE Beauty Elixir - Black Jacq / Holy Grail
On the skin it is a toner with oil/serum infused, more nourishing than say, just a thermal water mist. However, it really shines in aromatherapy; one sniff this brings me to 'heaven'. I have repurchased from FeelUnique, which is more affordable than getting it locally from Sasa.
NARUKO Narcissus Total Defense Fundamental Serum - Black Jacq / Discontinued
My last back up. Sad. Now I have to up my game and try something like Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair II. Yes, this Naruko is as good as EL ANR.
SOFTYMO Hot Cleansing Gel - Joyeux Jacq / Good Stuff
A gel with some charcoal beads inside that act as scrub and warm up at the same time. Really decent to clean the nose/cheek clogged pores. Will consider repurchasing, especially enjoyable in cold seasons.
BIORE UV Aqua Rich - Joyeux Jacq / Love It
Moisturising and high protection. May get another tube once I go through all my current sunscreen stash.
LANOLIPS 101 Ointment - Just Jacq / Okay *
Pure lanolin, i.e. wool grease. Good as lip balm and nipple cream. However, I can hardly find other uses for it as it is too sticky and thick. Also the plastic tube slightly 'disintegrated/melted' after time. Willl probably stick to other goo, e.g. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream for lip balm, and Alvera (link) or Earth Mama Angel Baby (link) for the other purpose - thankfully I do not need that regularly any more.
KAO Steam Eye Mask - Black Jacq / Holy Grail / All Time Must Have Necessity
#Eucalyptus, #Yuzi and #Fragrance-Free are all my favourites. I have recently repurchased Chamomile and Lavender too. Great deal to obtain them in Japan.
DOVE Go Fresh Regenerate Body Wash #Blue Fig and Orange Blossom Scent - Just Jacq / Okay
Not bad, but I'll repurchase other scents.
SUAVE Creamy Body Wash #Cocoa Butter and Shea - Joyeux Jacq / Like It A LotA way more affordable and practical way for me to get this which is a dupe for Bath and Body Works. However, this is only temporarily available at 759 Stores.
WAKODO Honey Soap
This is Baby Roma's body wash ever since around week 2. My mum said I used this too when I was very young. So far Baby has no adverse reaction to this bar soap in warm weather. We're now on bar number two and there are two more backups. However, the weather is too dry now he only bathes, and I have a fabulous bathing product that his skin likes.
FA Golden Star Deodorant - Black Jacq
One of my favourite scents from Fa.
GATSBY Deodorant Roll-On #Urban Ozone - His
Will continue to get Mr. A this as it works and smells nice.
JOSERISTINE Antiseptic Hand Wash Mousse - Okay
Foam is always quicker to use up. now we're using Lifebuoy. If antiseptic is not a huge concern (it's only ours since Baby arrived) I truly recommend Mrs. Meyer's, my favourite scent is Honeysuckle (link).
ULTRA READY Cotton Plus - Black Jacq / Will Always Repurchase
KAI Brow Comb/Brush
In fact I really like the brush side (made of coarse animal hair) but all the teeth in the comb part broke so it became a serious eyesore.
ESSENCE OF BEAUTY Foundation & Conceal Brush - No Way
Dual-ended brush isn't really my thing.
BELIF Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist - Joyeux Jacq / Like It *
It lasted me a long long time to finish up just a travel size tube. Sadly, I do not have much (any?) loyalty to face cleansers...
D PROGRAM Moist Care Lotion - Nice Stuff
My skin isn't as sensitive or fussy now so I'll probably not go back for something this basic (aka boring).
CRABTREE & EVELYN Hand Recovery #Citron - Just Okay *
Not a hand scrub kind of person. I used this on my legs.
MUSTELA Body Restructuring Gel - Just Okay *
Nice smell but that's it.
JOSERISTINE Anti-Acne Pimple Paper Mask - Good Stuff
I appreciate Joseristine (or Choi Fung in general) masks a lot.
D PROGRAM Moist Care Lotion - Nice Stuff
My skin isn't as sensitive or fussy now so I'll probably not go back for something this basic (aka boring).
CRABTREE & EVELYN Hand Recovery #Citron - Just Okay *
Not a hand scrub kind of person. I used this on my legs.
MUSTELA Body Restructuring Gel - Just Okay *
Nice smell but that's it.
JOSERISTINE Anti-Acne Pimple Paper Mask - Good Stuff
I appreciate Joseristine (or Choi Fung in general) masks a lot.
AUBREY ORGANICS Biotin Repair Renew & Replenish Conditioner #Citrus Rain (Product Link, Discount Code: JBF362) *
AUBREY ORGANICS Sea Buckthorn Nourishing Moisturizing Lotion (Product Link, Discount Code: JBF362) *
AUBREY ORGANICS GPB Balancing Protein Shampoo #Classic Scent (Product Link, Discount Code: JBF362) *
Probably enjoyed the body lotion the most, will consider these if I want to go organic in the future.
NANOGEN Thickening Treatment Shampoo For Men - His
BOOTS Expert Thickening Shampoo
JIMMBENNY Tea Tree Cooling Conditioner - His
HYTHIOL-B - His
NORDIC NATURALS Prenatal DHA (Product Link, Discount Code: JBF362) - Repurchased
WYETH Materna - Repurchased
ROYAL MEDIC 御藥堂 CS4 Cordyceps Capsules
JOSERISTINE Stretch Marks Improver Oil - Smells just like good old olive oil, feels like that too.
AMPM Super Triple HA + B3 Brightening Complex
HONEYBEE GARDENS #Soft Kiss (Product Link, Discount Code: JBF362) - Broken, depotted
MAC #Ruby Woo - Broke, depotted, will Back-to-MAC this tube
CALEB'S Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
BASE FORMULA Witch Hazel Hydrolat *
|Given Away
HELENERE Hedelweiss Cleansing Foam *
Too fragrant. I much prefer the Hedelweiss cream and serum!
HELENERE Eyerem Eye Make Up Remover *
Not strong enough for waterproof eye makeup, which I wear regularly. Great for light make up wearer and sensitive eyes.
L'OCCITANE Cherry Blossom Eau de Toilette *
LUNABLEU Sake Fresh Type

Translator: Zen Translations Editor: Zen Translations
The beginner's competition fights continued. There were countless of fights here everyday, and though Zhou Weiqing's fight against Green Wolf was indeed exciting, it was not enough to draw everybody's attention for a long time. The cacophony of fighting sounds and cheers continued all around the building.
Shangguan Fei'er was standing beside Zhou Weiqing, and she gave him a pinch around the waist, saying softly: "Why must you act like that? Why don't you just reveal your power? Haven't you been emphasizing your lack of time?"
Zhou Weiqing felt the sudden pain and had a bitter look on his face as he said: "We have just reached and are very unfamiliar with this place and its situation. It's better to take things a step at a time, to learn more before I can advance my plan. Sometimes, if you are standing at too high a position, you're unable to learn many things. For example, that Ruffian Battalion that Green Wolf is from… what kind of place or formation is that? Is that even something that should exist in the army?"
Shangguan Fei'er said: "How would I know? Anyway, I'm itching to fight. Since you didn't let me fight here, tonight you are mine."
Now, if any ordinary man heard Shangguan Fei'er tell him those latter words, it would definitely set his heart aflame. Alas, when poor Zhou Weiqing heard those words, his first reaction was to take an involuntary step back, pleading sorrowfully: "Heroine, please let me off."
Shangguan Fei'er said smugly: "I'll leave it up to you, in any case, if I'm not satisfied here, tonight I will be teaching you personally more about close combat."
Zhou Weiqing gave a humph and said: "If you dare, let's not use Consolidated Equipment, only Elemental Jewels."
Shangguan Fei'er's greatest strength was her terrifying close combat skills along with her four unique Legendary Set Consolidated Equipment, while Zhou Weiqing's greatest strength was his many powerful skills and unending changes and variety he could use them in. If Shangguan Fei'er did not use her Consolidated Equipment, he might actually stand a chance against her.
Alas, it was not so easy to trick her, and she just lifted her head and ignored his words.
The fights continued, and the atmosphere in the Duelling Center remained as lifely as before. After some time, Zhou Weiqing finally spotted someone walking up to the empty middle platform. It was one of the Company Leaders from earlier.
"All brothers of the Sixteenth Regiment, listen up! When this round of fights ends, the beginner competition fights will stop for a while." His voice had clearly been enhanced by his Heavenly Energy, and it travelled out far and wide to all corners, suppressing the loud noise in the building, allowing even the furthest audience to hear him.
The original lively building quietened down instantly, and everyone turned to look at the Company Leader in the middle platform curiously.
The Company Leader smiled faintly and said: "Very soon, there will be an unbelievably exciting fight here in the Intermediate Challenge stage. Our challenger is a fresh recruit, a young brother who has just joined our Sixteenth Regiment. His name is Zhou Little Fatty. His opponent has been chosen via drawing of lots, and is our very own Tyrannical Bear. All of you should know Tyrannical Bear; like me, he is a Company Leader, and I've heard rumours that this fellow once tore a Polar Bear apart with his bare hands, thus earning this nickname. Furthermore, Tyrannical Bear is a Six-Jeweled Physical Jewel Master with the Strength and Speed boosts. Amongst our Sixteenth Regiment twenty Intermediate ringmasters, he is considered one of the top five. Let us await this exciting spectacle and enjoy ourselves!"
His words had barely ended when a massive uproar of cheers shook the entire building. An intermediate challenge was definitely far more exciting than any beginner's competition, especially since Tyrannical Bear was extremely popular in the Sixteenth Regiment; in the war against the WanShou Empire, he had killed more than fifty enemy powerhouses, and he was one of the few who had slowly raised through the ranks through his own military exploits. If not for the fact that his leadership skills were not up to speed, with his military exploits and rank in the Duelling Corner, he could perhaps be at the Battalion Commander level.
After the proclamation of the upcoming match, the other Company Leader who had left at the same time returned back to Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Fei'er.
"Little Bro, your luck isn't very good! There were seven Intermediate ringmasters here today, but you actually got Tyrannical Bear. That fellow isn't any kind soul, and he's renowned for his Physical Strength as well. According to him, he has some bear bloodlines within him. Later on, you better be careful. If you feel like you cannot take it anymore, just surrender, do not force yourself."
"Thank you Company Leader Big Bro for your advice." Zhou Weiqing gave him a heartfelt thanks before saying: "So, does this mean the fight is starting?"
The Company Leader looked hard at Zhou Weiqing, but could only see that innocent, honest face. Finally, he nodded and said: "When all the current beginner competition fights end, then your Intermediate fight with Tyrannical Bear will begin. For the Intermediate Fights, every victory has a reward of a gold coin. If you are able to defeat Tyrannical Bear, and challenge successfully another few more times consecutively, you can even become a Company Leader."
Perhaps because of the upcoming Intermediate fight, the remaining beginner's competition fights all ended quickly. Led by the Company Leader beside him, Zhou Weiqing quickly ascended the central stage.
As compared to the Heavenly Jewel Tournament's stage, this place was much smaller and simpler, rougher. However, as soon as he entered the stage, that feeling of being watched by thousands of audiences, of being the center of attention returned. Hearing the cheers from all directions, the excitement was sparked within Zhou Weiqing. Stretching his body, he felt as if he was imbued with an endless supply of energy.
The Company Leader which had ascended the central stage earlier to give out the proclamation was now taking on the role of the judge, and he shouted out loud: "Alright everyone, the Intermediate Competition Fight is now beginning. Let me first do a quick introduction. This young man here is the one I spoke about earlier, our new recruit Zhou Little Fatty. Do not underestimate him just because he is a fresh recruit; earlier he has just fought three in three beginner competition fights, and defeated all his opponents in an instant. One of those three opponents was even Green Wolf from the Ruffian Battalion. It was because of those victories that he was given the opportunity to fight in the intermediate ring. Zhou Little Fatty's strength is also his speciality, so it is time for us to see whose strength is ultimately greater, him or Tyrannical Bear! Alright, next is our honoured Intermediate Ringmaster, Tyrannical Bear!"
*Swoosh* Before his words had ended, a huge figure jumped onto the stage, landing with a loud clash.
Tyrannical Bear's figure was actually not as huge and overstated as Green Wolf earlier, standing around 1.8metres tall, even slightly shorter than Zhou Weiqing. However, his shoulders were extremely broad and muscled. The thing that attracted the most attention were actually his arms; his army uniform was sleeveless, revealing his two powerful arms that were as thick as most thighs, covered with black hair. His yellow eyes stared fixedly at Zhou Weiqing, filled with a bloodthirsty aura as he licked his lips. "Zhou Little Fatty right? Be careful, or Your Father, I, will break your nuts. Heh heh heh." Tyrannical Bear said to Zhou Weiqing as he brandished his powerful arms.
Seeing Tyrannical Bear, Zhou Weiqing immediately remembered back to the time when he had just joined the Heavenly Bow Empire army, and they had ran across a Kalise Empire ambush on Shangguan Bing'er. At that time, the Kalise Empire's Jewel Masters had been the attackers, and amongst them was a five-Jeweled Physical Jewel Master who had been using two warhammers, and his figure was extremely similar to this Tyrannical Bear. Of course, it was without doubt that this Tyrannical Bear was much more powerful, at the six-Jeweled level. However, at this point, Zhou Weiqing was no longer that weak, one-Jeweled Zhou Little Fatty.
Facing his opponent's mocking provocation, Zhou Weiqing only smiled faintly and said: "Big Bro, those big arms of yours look really good, if we pull out all the fur and skin it, and barbeque it with salt and spices, I'm sure it'll taste very good. I wonder how it compares to Bear Paws 1?"
Standing at the side, the Company Leader who was the judge was totally stunned by those words. In his eyes, Zhou Little Fatty was an innocent, honest young man, but his current words were nothing like that at all; not only arrogant but extremely provoking.
When Tyrannical Bear had heard that Zhou Weiqing had defeated Green Wolf so easily, he had been extremely wary. Despite his looks, he was not a careless or brash person. He had to admit to himself that he would not be able to defeat Green Wolf without using any Heavenly Energy, and before he ascended the stage, he had still been hoping that the little fellow on top was not a Jewel Master. The provoking words he had spoken were actually to sound out Zhou Weiqing, but who knows that he had not successfully angered Zhou Weiqing, and was instead the one angered.
With an enraged howl, Tyrannical Bear charged forward towards Zhou Weiqing. However, despite his anger, he did not lose his reason, releasing his Physical Jewels at first chance.
From a single glance, Zhou Weiqing was able to tell that this Tyrannical Bear's Physical Jewel was considered quite a good boost in the ordinary Jewel Master world, with seventy percent boost in strength and thirty percent on speed. His six Physical Jewels glowed brilliantly, and in a flash, he was right in front of Zhou Weiqing, his large arms hammering down onto Zhou Weiqing's head.
Zhou Weiqing's own physical strength was extremely terrifying, one of the many strongest benefits that the Dark Demon God Tiger Bloodline had granted him. Furthermore, he had gone through two evolving, causing his already considerable strength to grow even further. Along with that Demonic Right Leg of his, he could take on ordinary Jewel Masters without problem even without unleashing his Heavenly Jewels. Even so, he did not dare to face a six-Jeweled Physical Jewel Master of Tyrannical Bear's calibre with just his own physique alone.
A Jewel Master's power grew exponentially every Jewel he had, and just facing the Four-Jeweled Green Wolf earlier with his physique alone, Zhou Weiqing had already felt it was extremely difficult. If he underestimated Tyrannical Bear and attempted to use only his physique, he would undoubtedly have no chance.
In a midst of swirling mist, four pure Icy Jade Physical Jewels appeared around Zhou Weiqing's right wrist, and around his left wrist, four red Emperor Tourmaline Jewels showed, showing the Strength and Wind Attributes of a Heavenly Jewel Master respectively. Without question, that was the effect of Zhou Weiqing's Ring of Concealment.
After some consideration, Zhou Weiqing had decided to reveal his Elemental Jewel as the Wind Attribute. Amongst all his six Attributes, the Wind Attribute was probably the most 'normal' of them all. Furthermore, his four Wind Attribute Skills were very good, and more importantly, the most all-encompassing. It could be said that no matter Support, Control, Offense, his Wind Attribute Skills had them all, and with those, he could handle most situations.
With his Heavenly Jewels unleashed, Zhou Weiqing's strength multiplied. However, when Tyrannical Bear saw the four pure Icy Jade Physical Jewels around his wrist, his heart sank.
Zen's note: I couldn't help but laugh when I read that last bit. So much for hiding his power!
Zen he was never going to hide the fact he was a heavenly jewel master, just that he has more than 1 element.
Yep, his plans are always generally Hide until you can no longer hide, then stomp them flat while using a bit of misdirection.

The automation company Pilz has opened the Peter Pilz Production and Logistics Centre at its headquarters in Ostfildern. The new building covers a total area of around 13,500 m2 and at EUR 20 million is the largest single investment in the history of this family business. As a result, not only is the company enlarging its production area by 50 per cent, it is also expanding its headquarters into the Pilz Campus.
Ostfildern, Oct 1, 2015
Expansion of headquarters into Pilz Campus – Renate Pilz: "Values create future." Peter Pilz Production and Logistics Centre opened
The Peter Pilz Production and Logistics Centre was built within 16 months. With 6,900 m2 of production area, around 4,000 m2 of office space and 2,600 m2 of ancillary areas, the building provides space for 390 staff. In addition to Production and Logistics it will also house all the departments related to production, including Production Technology, Information Technology, Quality Management and Purchasing under one roof.
"We are delighted to be able to invest right here at our headquarters and so continue our growth. Firstly because we have deep roots in this region. And also because we are expanding the headquarters into the Pilz Campus, where all departments operate together closely and efficiently to the benefit of our customers. This cooperation is important for the success of our family business," explained Renate Pilz at the official opening attended by some 200 guests.
"The Campus highlights how values create future," stressed Renate Pilz. "Trust, reliability and the courage to innovate are vital success factors at Pilz." The official opening had been preceded by a staff party on September 26, 2015 to mark the inauguration of the building.
In the new manufacturing site Pilz will be producing relays, control systems, sensors and drive technology for safety and automation. These find use not just in factory floors, for instance in presses, machine tools and industrial robots, but also in rail technology, for building automation or in control systems for cable cars such as the one serving Rio de Janeiro's Sugarloaf Mountain, and in fairground rides such as Vienna's Prater Park.
Adaptable factory
In the new building, Pilz attaches considerable importance to an ergonomic working environment for the staff and a flexible production layout. Interdisciplinary workshops involving the production technology department and production staff helped to optimise the production working environment even at the design stage, creating efficient and ergonomic production processes.. In the offices, air-conditioned rooms, an ingenious acoustic concept with sound absorbers as well as transparent room dividers and underfloor heating create a pleasant working atmosphere.
In common with the other buildings on the Pilz Campus, ecology enjoys a high profile here, too: near-surface geothermal energy, high-efficiency building insulation and heat recovery result in high energy efficiency and low CO2 emissions.
The architecturally open-plan hall, which has almost no supports, allows the production processes to be organised with optimum flexibility. The individual production units are arranged in a horseshoe pattern to guarantee a swift flow of goods and information.
Industrie 4.0: Pilz backs connectivity
This flow of information is a hallmark of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or "Industrie 4.0", at Pilz. Production at Pilz is integrated with the upstream and downstream processes and procedures. The legacy production operations already featured IT-based production processes, such as an intelligent RFID-supported workpiece carrier. These processes have been adopted and now gradually supplemented. In Ostfildern, Pilz is optimising production process control by specifically collating and processing machine data. That avoids disruptions or downtime. Work documentation will in future be stored in a Pilz cloud to keep it always up to date and also make it available on mobile devices. Other firm moves to bring about IT and production convergence are taking shape in the "Pilz Think Tank 4.0": This makes the resources for implementing the Fourth Industrial Revolution at Pilz available to IT and production technology experts.

Everyone should be like him
Is it me, or is summer turning into the season of classics releases? I think the answer might be "yes" since we have one of Leiji Matsumoto's (Space Battleship Yamato's Creator, Interstella 5555's Character Design) best characters appearing in manga form this week.
I may not have seen or read his story, but I enjoyed the episode of Megas XLR that made fun of him. Other than that, his outfit looks great and I heard nothing but good things about the captain from people I know. But yeah, it's great that more readers will get to witness his accomplishments in space.
With E3 going on, Splatoon's third volume coming out is a great timing. Japanator Contributor Christian Chiok found it to be decent, so it could be a great compliment to the Octo Expansion for the second game.
Back to the topic of older stuff, Initial D Legend 3 drifts by North America's streets so we can turn up the Eurobeat to maximum volume. Anyway, let's continue to enjoy this classic titles trend.

§ 10.2 pm
§ Mr. John Heppell (Nottingham, East)
I beg leave to present a petition from a group called the supporters of absent parents asking for reasonable treatment, in Nottingham.
They wish to declare thatthe Child Support Act and the administration thereof is deemed to be grossly unfair in respect to 'Absent Parents'.The petition was presented to me today by seven people who had walked from the city of Nottingham to Westminster to draw attention to their plight.
The petition therefore requests the House of Commons immediately to review the system concentrating on the following points, which I shall summarise. The group is asking for some flexibility in the system which is presently in force and, more importantly, for some appeal mechanism so that people who feel that they have been treated unfairly can ensure that there is someone to listen to their justified complaint.

Migration Experiences
Migrants in Australia
Maltese Identity
Maltese Language
Maltese Merchants
Malta Link
About Us
Contact Us
Among the factors that affect migrant health one has to include dietary factors, living conditions, social mores, including particularly smoking and drinking. Important also is the degree of convergence towards an Australian living conditions which in many ways differ from the style of life in the land of origin.
The average Maltese diet is based on the Italian cuisine with an emphasis on pasta, bread and carbohydrate-based foods. The content of meat and high-protein food is correspondingly reduced. They also like fruit and fresh vegetables. It is likely therefore that the composition of the diet is quite acceptable. However, obesity is a major problem among the Maltese in Australia as in Malta, this being the result of over indulgence in carbohydrate rich foods. The habit of using oil and fats for frying adds considerably to the calorie content of the diet.
The outcome of these dietary habits is obesity. In common with other S. Europeans Maltese, both male and females are likely to be overweight (Castles, 1989). It is well established that obesity is likely to be associated with cardiovascular disorders and to precipitate frank expression of diabetes, both of which conditions are common among the Maltese.
Most Maltese like a glass of wine with their meals, however, alcohol excess is not a major problem. Very few indulge in regular binges in pubs, and most prefer to have a drink with friends at home. The incidence of alcohol-related liver disease is not a major problem in Maltese migrants.
Although no statistical data is readily available, it is readily seen at any meeting of Maltese that the number of smokers is quite high. The data given by Young (1986) confirm that this is a tendency shared by the Southern Europeans in general. As a rule, smoking habits are the prerogative of males, and very few Maltese-born females smoke.
As seen in an earlier section, the vast majority of Maltese work in manufacturing and blue collar occupations. Although only about 25% of the female population are involved in full time paid work, their occupations are disproportionately likely to involve manual work.
The concept of exercise for its own sake is largely foreign to the Maltese mentality, and very few middle aged persons would be indulging in regular exercise. Most however have a patch of garden to work over the weekend, and many have other interests such as boating, fishing and hunting, in which they indulge be it at irregular intervals. It has to be borne in mind of course that most Maltese males are involved in manual occupations and trades which involve more energy expenditure than the more sedentary occupations. The majority of Maltese women spend their time house-keeping and do no regular physical exercise of amore strenuous nature. Very few male or female Maltese have the habit of going for long walks, playing games like tennis or even golf, or indulging in set regular exercise of any kind. This pattern of like is not unlike the one that the average middle-aged person leads in Malta, and of course excludes the second-generation and younger persons who are more likely to be physically active.

There's this place called Bills on Crown Street in Surry Hills that does awesome breakfasts…
Well, so the rumours go. I have wanted to try out Bills for quite awhile now – I've heard that their breakfast menu is fantastic. As a big, big fan of brunch (just think of it as the lazy man's breakfast *cough*) I just had to give it a try. Well, that was several months ago – my eating adventures and lack of an able brunch-buddy has precluded my long-awaited trip there.
Until last Saturday, that is. I was in the ever-charming company of Bonbon (henceforth referred to as The [one and only] Cracker) and with ASOC JASS ball ready to spring into (absolutely fabulous) action later that night, a brunch at Bills was in perfect order.
Restaurant: Bills
Number of Visits: 1
Date Visited: 15/09/2012
Address: 359 Crown Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010
Specialisation: breakfasts
Good for: breakfasts/brunches, somewhat alfresco-style dining,
Not good for: anything exotic
Go-to dish: those ricotta hotcakes mmm…
The immediate thing you notice is that it's somewhat more colourful than other cafes. Bright yellow chairs, piles of fresh fruit and veggies of varying colours piled up behind display glass and a general sense of vibrancy to the place immediately put on a good atmosphere. A good start indeed! We sit down on a table for 2 between two other tables – but this didn't feel very comfy so we switched to a corner-window table as soon as it was available. That's how I ended up facing the cafe.
The interior of Bills is very bright and colourful (see header pic for green chairs on the outside as well). Cheerio!
It was only in retrospect that I learned that Bills is most famous for its sweetcorn fritters with roast tomato, spinach and bacon. We didn't order that. Oops. BUT as the optimist this simply means that there will be more to try next time I visit!
We DID however end up ordering 4 dishes, which is quite the feat considering how there were only the two of us and one of us doesn't have what I deem "sufficient stomach capacity". Ahem.
First thing to arrive is the one sweet food that Bills does very, very well.
Ricotta hotcakes with fresh banana and honeycomb butter
Here is a clip of George Takei's famous "Oh Myyyyy". Listen to it.
That friends, was the feeling I got as I took the first few bites of the hotcakes. The smooth, buttery texture dances playfully around your mouth and you do NOT want to wolf these down quickly as you often do with hotcakes. I was clever not to over-lather the syrup since you don't want to overpower the hotcakes themselves. Spread a bit of the [honeycomb!!!] butter on and you are THERE. I immediately got the feeling that this was going to be the best dish we were going to have that day and I was not wrong.
Smooth, the right amount of heat and sweetness. The three most important factors which were beautifully met by this dish. Oh Myyy indeed.
(notice how I don't need to talk too much about dishes that are great? You just KNOW it's great when you eat it).
I'm pretty sure that The Cracker didn't want to share me those hotcakes, and after having them myself I can see why. So…do they do delivery?
Brioche bun with sunny-side egg, rocket w/optional bacon
I'll just use this sentence to say that brioche is my favourite umbrella-type of bread. I would readily eat brioche over any other type of bread in almost every possible situation. This is primarily why the hot dogs at Snag Stand are so awesome (review will come one day!). Of course, not the healthiest choice due to the higher-than-average sugar content but hey – I'm blogging about food, not diet 😉
I ordered this brioche roll with bacon, so it arrived without it. AWKWARD. I think the waitress misheard me or something (insert appropriate statement about quality of service here) but honestly I could not have cared less – I took it as a sign that I shouldn't be having bacon. Yeah, turned that one around (Y).
And hey – I didn't need that bacon (sure it may have made it better, but I was happy without it) since the roll itself was fine and dandy already. The brioche was a bit light on the flavour but fluffy on the texture. A minus and a plus there. The egg was fried but I was very surprised when rich, creamy egg yolk burst forth when I bit into it – it was amazing how they made it so runny! And yes, this is a big PLUS. Be careful when eating this one – I ended up wasting a bit of yolk from the splatter! Ah for the life of a messy eater 🙁
The rocket wasn't really value-adding to the burger, so if you dislike rocket's texture/bitter taste you ought to remove it before eating. I actually like rocket somewhat so I'm going to go with a +1 here.
It's a good enough roll, but it's not what I would be coming back to Bills for. Better brioche can be found elsewhere in different forms.
Kimchi fried brown rice with egg noodles and chorizo
Now this was interesting – a rather Asian dish at a not-so Asian cafe. I looked up, and lo and behold were several Asian chefs in the cafe kitchen! Not that I'm being racist or anything, but I didn't exactly picture Bills to be an Asian cafe – considering almost every other dish isn't. Oh well, my thoughts on this matter were quickly dispersed by the aroma that was coming from the rice. Without further hesitation I dug in.
The problem when I cook brown rice for myself in a pressure cooker (yes I do cook! Sometimes…not very well) is that the rice isn't cooked for long enough and still ends up tasting a little bit nutty/hard. Now you can't expect the texture of white rice since the composition is simply too different but still, I was sure you could do it better than with a pressure cooker. Turns out Bills can do it – in the form of fried rice. I imagine they'd have special cookers which cook the rice for at least twice as long with maybe as much as 30% more water (which is how I eventually got around that problem myself). Then proceeded to whittle a great deal of water out of it and fried it up! The result is actually very impressive. See, put it this way – had I not known what I was ordering, I'd be inclined to believe it's white rice! It was done that well. Now I still knew it was brown rice because there was still a hint of that nutty flavour and slightly tougher texture that's inherent to this lovely grain, but I easily overlooked that and enjoyed the medley of flavours that were there on the dish.
Speaking of the flavours, they seemed to fight a little – at times I felt like I needed a bit of kimchi to spice things up, other times I had to take a bite out of the chorizo in order to maintain the flow of the dish. Overall, it was also a bit on the somewhat sour-chilli side. Some of you would enjoy this flavour quite a lot, I'm more partial to it. I'm not used to fried brown rice – so I feel that this is a dish that leaves room for it to grown on me.
Oh and, if you dare – I recommend you use the hot chilli sauce that is provided with it. Use a mighty big dollop 😛
Yes this chilli sauce – not for the mild-hearted!
As for the egg noodles – completely unnecessary. I didn't really ever figure out how to eat them – by themselves they were tasteless and they didn't work with other elements of the dish so I awkwardly just soaked them up in chilli and nommed away.
Okay, so we've gone through 3 dishes now. But no, I'M NOT FULL. I'M STILL HUNGRY (I literally said these words as The Cracker can attest to). Thus, I got one final dish on the menu that I had been eyeing for awhile.
Bills Gravlax, soft cheese parsley salad & toastedrye bread
Now I definitely had mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, the rye bread that came with it got burned so I had a fun time chewing on carbon. On the other hand, the parts of the bread that weren't burned were quite well toasted! I don't know how to explain that.
As for the gravlax (that's cured salmon/trout done in a Nordic style) hmmmmm. So remember what I said about sashimi in my [Masuya] review? Those rules don't apply here – the trout is quite a bit tougher – somewhere between soft salmon and akami (super lean tuna), probably leaning towards the lean tuna's level of toughness. I was fine with that since you're not meant to eat it in the same way as sashimi. What was wrong for me was the dressing used – it was far too rich in parsley and the flavour was really, really WEIRD to say the least. It didn't play nice in my mouth. It's a hard flavour to describe…think of mayo with a ton of chopped up parsley and…remove the flavour of the mayo. Yeah it's pretty much a sauce that tastes like parsley. That did not work out for me :/
Overall, you should be coming to Bills for its sweetcorn fritters (dang it) and its hotcakes. The other three dishes? Yeah throw 'em in on the side, especially if you've a love affair with parsley. Yes, Bills is a complicated place for sure and I'm sure there's a bit of conflict in the flavours (and cuisines) of its dishes.
Despite the score I've given below (since I can't just skew it because of one awesome, awesome dish), I will definitely come again – you just gotta make the good choices, isn't that what life's about in general?
I give Bills a grand total of seven Caesars out of 10 – 7/10

The Mirror, Vol. 13, No. 616
"Phnom Penh: According to a source of information, obtained in the morning of 11 June 2009 by Deum Ampil, the Royal Government of Cambodia recently had filed a complaint at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court against Rasmei Kampuchea, a well-known pro-government daily newspaper.
"According to that source, this complaint was presented to the court on Tuesday, 9 June 2009, and was filed by a lawyer of the Royal Government
"The complaint by the Royal Government is the second one in June, after the Royal Government sued [the president of the Khmer Civilization Foundation] Mr. Moeung Son, for expressing information considered to be provoking, regarding to the setting up electric bulbs to illuminate part of the Angkor Wat temple for tourists, one of the world's seven wonders [?] and a priceless place of Khmer culture.
"To clarify this case, Deum Ampil contacted the government lawyer Mr. Pao Chandara. He said,'I am not responsible for that case (the complaint by the government against Rasmei Kampuchea), but the lawyer Doung Loeung is responsible, who is also a lawyer of the government.'
"Mr. Doung Loeung could not be reached for comment in the evening of 11 June 2009, because he switched off his phone, and even trying to contact his colleagues through other mobile phones still did not lead to a contact with him.
"Based on the same information source, it was learned that, after a lawyer of the Royal Government had lodged a complaint with the prosecutors of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday, this case was transferred by Prosecutor Yet Chakriya to Deputy Prosecutor Sok Kalyan.
"Contacted on Thursday evening, Mr. Sok Kalyan said, 'I have not yet worked on this complaint. This complaint is complicated, and therefore I would not like to make any comment.'
"Based on what Deputy Prosecutor Sok Kalyan said, it is assumed that the complaint against Rasmei Kampuchea had already reached the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, but the reason why the Royal Government sued Rasmei Kampuchea through the lawyer Doung Loeung is not yet known.
"The editor-in-chief of Rasmei Kampuchea , Mr. Pen Pheng, also known as Mr. Pen Samithi, told Deum Ampil that he did not know anything about the complaint filed by government lawyers against Rasmei Kampuchea. In turn, the editor-in-chief of Rasmei Kampuchea asked the interviewers, 'I don't know… What do they sue me for?'
"After there was information that the government had sued Rasmei Kampuchea, a leading newspaper, some observers questioned, 'Why Rasmei Kampuchea, a leading and highly respected well-known newspaper, is sued?'
"Another source of information said that the Royal Government did not sue the newspaper Rasmei Kampuchea, but the manager of this newspaper, or a reporter of the newspaper is the one that a government lawyer sued.
"The same source added that another leading newspaper was also sued by a government lawyer, but this information is not clear."

Dry leaves smell luscious—nutty with chocolate notes. Picking up a hint of anise which evokes aroma not unlike springerle cookies (German Christmas my grandmother used to make). Followed the steeping suggestions: tea smells wonderful and has a very delicate flavor. Taste of chocolate increases as tea cools; nutty aftertaste. This would be a good tea to serve to friends who haven't tried or say they don't like green tea. An afternoon comfort cup!

The cloud-computing space is one that investors should be watching closely. Over the last decade, the shift from physical data centers to keeping everything in the cloud has been monumental and every big-name tech firm out there has their hat in the ring. That being said, not all cloud computing services are created equal and traders should take a hard look at what each company has to offer before blindly throwing money at any of the cloud stocks out there.
While a few big names have emerged as cloud computing leaders over the last few years, the industry's relative newness means that there is still a lot of room for growth.
Tech stocks with a solid plan for the future, a compelling growth story and enough financial strength to support said plans are few and far between. Because cloud computing fits in so seamlessly with what many firms are already doing, it's also difficult to find a pure play in cloud stocks.
That being said, with more big businesses shifting their data to the cloud, it is a necessity for every portfolio. The following are four tech stocks to buy because of their solid position in the cloud-computing space.
Courtesy Amazon.com
It would be impossible to talk about great cloud computing companies without mentioning Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN). Best known for its massive e-commerce presence, AMZN is also a top dog in the cloud-computing space.
Amazon's cloud computing arm is a market leader, with the largest cloud computing capacity being used at the moment. Amazon Web Services boasts not only the largest network, but the company is also one of the oldest and most mature players in the industry as well.
AMZN has also been able to make growing competition within the space work for its business by partnering with former rival VMware, Inc. (VMW). The two firms recently decided to link their public and private cloud networks making it possible for customers to use existing VMware software together with AWS.
This development has made both cloud stocks significantly more desirable as it makes both services much more accessible.

Tech giant Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is the runner up when it comes to the largest cloud computing firms, but many argue that MSFT's approach to cloud computing is the most innovative.
The company's most recent earnings report showed that its "intelligent cloud" business increased to $6.4 billion this year, an 8% increase. MSFT doesn't break out its Azure cloud computing revenue, but that's because the company believes in a hybrid model that incorporates both cloud computing infrastructure as well as services and productivity software like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
Microsoft has a leg up in that respect, because the company's well-known software is already in use at big-name businesses around the world. That means that when a business is ready to shift its data into the cloud, MSFT's Azure is often the most logical choice for the sake of continuity.
Microsoft has also made a name for itself in the artificial intelligence and machine learning space, so although some of the firm's most appealing tools aren't quite ready to be used yet, there is a lot of growth potential for Azure.
These kinds of offerings, when they are fully developed, will be a major draw for new business to MSFT.

Zendesk Inc (ZEN) is considerably smaller and riskier than AMZN and MSFT, but that doesn't make it a bad choice. In fact, ZEN stock may be a better bet for investors in cloud stocks with a healthy appetite for risk.
While firms like Microsoft and Amazon have several other business segments to keep them afloat, Zendesk is a pure cloud computing play, offering a cloud-based customer service desk.
While the firm's substantially smaller size and customer base adds a healthy dose of risk to ZEN stock, the company's impressive growth is hard to ignore. Over the past year, Zendesk has increased its revenue by more than 50%. ZEN has added new customers at a jaw-dropping rate as well, with new accounts increasing from 69,000 to 81,000 over the course of a year.
Zendesk is also rolling out new products and analytics devices that are intended to deliver value beyond just offering a customer service platform. While it's true that ZEN stock's price already reflects its high growth, the firm is unlikely to slow down in the near-term. For that reason, it stands out among other cloud stocks.
Courtesy Box
Of all the cloud stocks on this list, Box Inc. (BOX) is the riskiest. Box provides a cloud-based platform to both enterprises and individuals, which allows it to manage and access content on any device.
Since going public in 2015, the firm has yet to turn a profit, which has been a cause for concern among investors (BOX stock is down 34% over the last two years).
However, 2016 has proven to be a good one for the company so far and it now could be a good time to get on board in order to reap the benefits of the company's efforts to generate a profit. In the first year after its IPO, BOX burned some $144 million worth of cash, but the company also set itself up for explosive growth in the future. The firm was able to grow its revenue by about 40% between fiscal year 2015 and 2016 and it has taken meaningful steps toward expansion.
BOX has secured partnerships with big names like International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), Alphabet Inc (GOOG, GOOGL) and MSFT over the last year, which is a good sign for the company's forward momentum.
The firm is also taking its services overseas, with new offices in Europe and approval from regulators in the U.K., Poland and Spain to operate a cloud network that works across borders. These developments signal big things ahead for BOX and make now a good time to buy.
As of this writing, Laura Hoy did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities. The post 4 Tech Stocks That Are Killing It in Cloud Computing appeared first on InvestorPlace.

I wanted to take the time to thank tag mechanical, and they said posting a testimonial would be thank you enough. Do you know what you do not want to go home to after along day at work? Frozen pipes. Flooded basement. Spoiling food in the frig. No water. No heat. And all because of NO POWER! Well, that is what I came home to a couple of years ago. It was one of those wonderful days in Central New York when the weather changed in a heartbeat, the winds came up, temps dropped, and the snow piled up. Unknown to me, the power in our end of town went out. What a mess! After that bad event, I did my homework on stand-by generators. I made the best decision to go with TAG for my whole house generator. They were professional from start to finish. The Generac 22 kW generator has worked flawlessly. As there has been other power outages over the last two years, my home has stayed well lit, warm and dry. Love my Generac generator! Thank you TAG! Sandra G. / Fayetteville , NY

What I'm Reading...
This blog is designed to share what I am reading. As I finish reading chapter books that are appropriate for elementary students, I will write about them here. Maybe something I read will spark your interest!
Paperboy by Vince Vawter
In this semi-autobiographical novel, Vince Vawter shares his story of being an 11 year old boy during the late 1950s. Like many boys his age, he loved baseball, and he could throw a mean fastball. However, he stuttered when he talked. Paperboy (Lexile: 940; Interest Level: Grades 5-8) is the story of the summer that Vince took over his friend Rat's paper route. Rat's real name was Art, but Vince called him Rat because it was easier to say. Vince was good at delivering the papers, but he was nervous about talking to the people on the route when it came to money collecting time. He got to know a few of the customers, including a drunk housewife, a family with a deaf boy, and retired merchant marine who seemed to know everything and had plenty of time to talk to Vince, even when he had a hard time getting his words out.
Things certainly weren't easy for Vince during this summer, but he grew up in a lot of ways. This is a wonderful story of growing up, learning about one's own strengths, facing one's fears, and making new friends. I highly recommend it to any readers who enjoy a good realistic story, and even some who don't! (240 pages)

Gain Management Made Extremely Simple with Apex SL Series
Noise pollution has become an increasing problem across our nation. With the capital cities forming denser populations, entire streets dedicated to bustling nightlife, headline concerts year round and the trend of music festivals clearly on the rise; SPL limitations have become a requirement, not just a feature.
With that, there is a growing level of enforcement in action also. Police, government bodies and privately hired consultants are aggressively tackling noise pollution and volume management.
Just about every venue owner has experienced an irate neighbour or a council visit at some point, and it can be very difficult to justify or prove what volume you were operating at and at what time. Compound this with countless variables like reckless DJ's, ego driven musicians and bar managers making their own calls regarding volume; and suddenly it becomes almost impossible to really know if you were doing 105dB at 3am on a Friday night. This is all before you're threatened with a loss of license or handed a fine that's enough to make your head explode.
The very clever cats at Apex have the perfect gear to assist. They've developed a simple yet highly effective range of solutions that ensure your venue, concert or festival is ALWAYS within the legal limits. The Apex SL Series - Think of it as noise management insurance.
The SL Series is comprised of three devices, the Argos, the Hera, and the Leto.
With its concealed, authority sealable and straightforward setup controls, the Argos can be setup to maintain a ceiling on SPL, either on the road or in fixed installations.
Far more than a gain reducing limiter, Argos unique servo-loop circuitry preserves the audio signal quality and the entire dynamic range of the sound programme. This ensures the signal reduction is transparent and helps avoid signal artefacts.
Its unique silence detector also makes it an indispensable tool for live music performance as well as interrupted recorded music and alleviates unpleasant 'pumping'. It enacts a hold circuit that maintains the gain reduction while the Argos detects silence.
Connecting the Argos directly to system outputs offers a new level of protection against dangerous DJs, hard-rockers, and extensive repair bills by avoiding dynamic headroom reduction.
The Hera is a Sound Level Control Unit which logs the average and peak RMS sound level pressure over a time period. The Hera can take reference using the included measurement microphone or directly via line or power amplifier inputs.
Hera also offers an automatic calibration function for remote microphone distance compensation. This is imperative in most venues, since the measurement microphones are generally placed out of reach.
Hera will also detect and log any attempts of system tampering (for example disconnection of the microphone) both of itself and the attached Argos.
Couple this to the Argos, and suddenly the system becomes an end-to-end intelligent gain management solution.
It always helps to see what's going on too, especially when the noise police show up; this is where Leto becomes your best friend.
The Leto is a large remote display designed specifically to provide clear visual indication of current sound levels.
Working in perfect harmony with the Hera and the Argos, the three begin working once user defined thresholds on the Hera are set.
Would you like to limit your venue to 105dB until midnight then taper it off to 100dB until 1am then reduce it to 94dB at 2am? All possible with the Hera, Argos and Leto.
By connecting the Leto to the Hera, a constant display of either the instantaneous or average sound level over a selectable period of time is shown. This offers an easy-to-read display for any DJ or sound operator.
Housed in standard 19-inch enclosure, installing Leto in a rack or into furniture is fast and easy.
Just imagine, next time the noise police show up, you can have a log file of your volume from the night before and show them the current volume of your venue on the spot. Very cool.

Jessica Schindler
- Region: Thompson Okanagan
- Position: Registered Nurse
- Description:
I have always been interested in my personal health and the health of my friends and family. I exercise regularly, eat a nutritious diet, and try to live a balanced life of work and play. When I realized that not all people were fortunate to have the opportunity to live a healthy lifestyle, due to various factors, such as their genetics, socioeconomic status, or available support systems, I wanted to do something to help.
I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do to reach this first goal. I had occasionally thought about becoming a registered nurse, but the idea of spending such a significant amount of my time and money was daunting. I looked for other options that better suited my lifestyle but none were satisfying.
When I applied for a seat in the School of Nursing at Thompson Rivers University, I did not expect to get accepted. When I did I felt a variety of emotions such as excitement, fear, and "what did I get myself into"?
Throughout the four years of the degree I had to sacrifice a lot but in the end I have gained so much more. I am able to help people in ways that, without becoming a registered nurse, I could not. Being a nurse is not always a glamorous job and sometimes it is extremely challenging, but the feeling that you supported and assisted someone through a vulnerable time in his or her life, is so rewarding.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a four-year degree. Without the financial assistance from the Metis Nation BC, I would not have chosen to become a registered nurse. Thank you Metis Nation BC for providing me with the opportunity to gain such a valuable education and successful career.
