Five Minute Briefing - Information Management: September 15, 2015. A concise weekly report with key product news, market research and insight for data management professionals and IT executives.
Many considerations go into evaluating whether it is time to implement an upgrade to a new version of SQL Server. You need to think about socket vs. core licensing, side-by-side vs in-place upgrades, and resource provisioning. Maybe your SQL instance is a good candidate for 'cloudification'? And, what new functionality, like SQL Server's new cardinality estimator or a database's Target Recovery Time setting, would you like to take advantage of?
Tableau is releasing an upgraded version of its comprehensive data visualization platform, introducing a new mobile app and a web data connector that will allow developers to do more with their data.
WebAction unveiled several key advancements that will help expand its brand and platform, allowing the company to continue to derive value and insights from big data. The company has a new $21 million round of series B funding, led by Intel Capital, and is rebranding its streaming analytics platform as "Striim," pronounced as "stream."
Data has continued to grow at an exponential pace, and along with that trend, more businesses are beginning to take advantage of data. Businesses have begun to rely more and more on their IT departments to be able to leverage their data quicker than their competition. However, it is difficult to get the most out of data as fast as organizations would like to do so. Recently, DBTA held a special roundtable webcast to provide education on new data management technologies and techniques for meeting increasing requirements posed by modern applications for speed, scale and flexibility.
Whenever I get into a discussion about database standards I invariably bring up one of my favorite quotes on the topic: "The best thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." It shouldn't be true, but it is.

Claim to fame:
Like a supernova, Roger "Syd" Barrett burned briefly and brightly, leaving an indelible mark upon psychedelic and progressive rock as the founder and original singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist of Pink Floyd.
Barrett was responsible for most of their brilliant first album, 1967's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
Where are they now?
He left the band after one record, too erratic from drugs or mental illness to keep up with its growing fame, the Floyd lost the bright wit of his songwriting and started its slide to light-show-dominated arena-rock.
Barrett cut a couple albums as a solo artist before giving up music and retreating from the world.
2004. He lives in Cambridge, UK.
Update July 11/2006: A spokesperson for Pink Floyd reports that Syd Barrett has died from unspecified causes.

Syd Barrett, the first Pink Floyd
Founder of Pink Floyd, Roger Keith .Syd. Barrett was already a legend when
he died in 2006. His career was as short as brilliant. Painter, musician,
writer, poet, the talented young man composed most of the first album of the
band at only twenty. The piper at the gates of dawn is a true sound
revolution: the English psychedelic rock is born and Syd Barrett dedicated
to a great future.
However, his instability and fragility put an end to his adventure with Pink
Floyd since he was expelled from the band. With numerous anecdotes extremely
well-informed, Syd Barrett the first Pink Floyd relates the life of this
unusual artist revisiting the history of his songs.
Not only is this book an almost exhaustive biography of Syd Barrett but also
an unpublished analysis of this unusual artist.s work that has already
turned cult.

Psalms 139:1. O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
I like to watch people when in a public place. The other day this verse came to me as I sat and watched. It occurred to me I didn't know anything about the people I was watching. Then I realized God does know each and every one of us. He is searching for us to know Him because He knows us and loves us. He wants each of us to know Him and how very much He loves us. He sent His Word to us in the form of a man we could see and hear to show us His love for us. As we come to know Him, He wants to show others His love through us. Our question is when others look at us in a public place do the see God in us?

Clinton Makes PSA To Help Flood Victims
Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton is appearing in public service announcements to
raise awareness and funds to help victims of flooding in Pakistan.
The PSAs
launched Tuesday, according to the Ad Council, which puts media outlets
together with good causes to get the word out. In this case, the word
was coming through the State Department, which
created the Pakistan Relief Fund.
The flooding
began a month ago and, according to the council, has affected more
people--over 20 million says Clinton--than the 2004 Indian Ocean
Tsunami, the 2005 Pakistan Earthquake, and the 2010
Haiti earthquake combined.
The PSAs include TV and radio spots and Web banners, which send their audience to www.state.gov where they can donate to the Fund online.
According to
the Ad Council, in addition to the donated media time that will be used
to carry the PSAs, several companies provided production and
distribution services pro bono, and Getty Images donated
pictures of the flooding used in the ads.

Four Cousins has been the biggest bottled wine brand in South Africa for years. The brand was launched in 2000 by Van Loveren Vineyards with its iconic 1.5 l natural sweet rosé as an easy drinking option for the South African lifestyle. The brand story is grounded in reality, featuring the four Retief cousins who originated and still runs the brand and who have extended it into various product categories.
The brand is both exciting and challenging in that it has such an incredibly wide demographic appeal. Many people welcome 'the cousins' as part of their extended family, and social media lets them stay connected to the brand they love, share their views and be part of a community that knows few bounds.

As a kid, I didn't really eat a lot of sweet treats. My sister was allergic to chocolate so that meant I never got to eat chocolate candy bars. Occasionally, we might go to the Dairy Keen (yes, you read that right) to get a soft serve ice cream cone. But once in a blue moon, we might go to Goodrich Dairy in Norfolk. Goodrich locations are homemade ice cream, treats, and malts/shakes stores throughout Nebraska. I loved a Goodrich Malt. In fact, I still enjoy stopping for this treat on a warm Spring/Summer day driving through Lincoln on my way back to Kansas City.
I will never forget a trip to Goodrich as a pre-teen. My mother, sister, sister's friend Jeanna, and I stopped at the Goodrich store in Norfolk to get some ice cream. A child we didn't know kept screaming "I want a Monkey Tail." In case you aren't familiar with this cold treat, it is a frozen banana covered in chocolate. I don't entirely understand why this child wanted that over homemade ice cream but I will never forget those tears streaming down their face in disappoint as they left without their monkey tail. I'm sure their parents where just mortified.
As I ran across this recipe on Pinterest, it made with think of that Goodrich experience. This super easy refreshing treat is perfect for your next summer barbeque.
Fruit Skewers on Pinterest
4 bananas, sliced
2 T. orange juice
green and red seedless grapes
chocolate chips
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Mix sliced bananas with orange juice. Thread skewers alternating grapes and bananas. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and follow with 20 second intervals until completely melted. Scoop melted chocolate into a Ziploc bag and seal. Snip corner and drizzle over skewers. Place in freezer for 2 hours. Defrost for 5 minutes before serving.
- I used a frozen banana to make my skewers. If you do that, I would use half the amount of orange juice. They can be very slippery.
- I only had red grapes. It worked just fine.
- Blueberries would also be good.
- I halved the recipe and melted probably ¼ c. of chocolate chips. But I think almond bark would also work if you wanted a white chocolate taste.
- I placed a Ziploc bag in a glass and poured melted chocolate into baggie. It's the easiest way to fill the bag with spilling or burning yourself.

Obama and the Colonial Myth 14 January 2016
It was a momentous occaision in Obama's career, his last State of the Union address. One in which he quite rightly challenged both Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric and the over-inflation of Isis as an existential threat to the West (two issues which often go hand-in-hand). Yet it was still let down by a single remark that in many ways is emblematic of the failure behind US (and UK) relations with the Middle-East, Obama stated with his usual confident charisma that: –
The Middle East is going through a transformation that will play out for a generation, rooted in conflicts that date back millennia.
As many have already pointed out, this is factually incorrect. Whether in reference to the Sunni-Shia conflict, or the Israel-Palestine affair, the Middle-East has not been in the grip of millenia old conflict. But what struck me wasn't simply that the leader of the United States was making historically inaccurate statements, but how common such beliefs were, and why they are made in the first place. Isn't it enough to say there is conflict, why incorrectly date it back by centuries?
Well, perhaps part of the answer lies within old school ethnographies. When the first European researchers went out into Africa, South East Asia and Oceania, carrying out in-depth case studies of remote tribes and far-flung peoples, they often presented them as somehow ancient, eternal, and unchanging.' This is how they lived, and this is how it always was' these ethnographies implied, sometimes overtly so. But of course that wasn't the case, these tribes and peoples had their lives changed unrecognisably as a result of British and European imperialism, but somehow, the impact of colonialism never figured as an object of study (until the work of the Manchester School, it should be stated).
As David Gellner, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford writes:
In their monographs they ignored or minimized the role of the colonial state: they described societies as if they were isolated and stable over hundreds of years (when in fact the social arrangements in question emerged only with the advent of colonialism).
Why did the early ethnographers do this? Well because they were complict in the project of colonialism. Such studies were only possible because of Empire, and the infrastructures it provided. Presenting tribal societies as stable and unchanging was a way of absolving the authors from any responsibility.
Returning to Obama, we can see why he may have a stake in describing conflict in the Middle-East as a sectarian war that dates back into history – it ignores the role of the US in Iraq and elsewhere in facilitating the context for these conflicts to emerge. It ignores the very active role the US has played in selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, or in orchestrating the 1953 Iranian coup d'état. It's essentially a sophisticated way of saying "it was like this when I got here".

I'm amazed at the variety of colors available in caladiums these days. There are outrageous combinations of red, pink, super hot pink, white, chartreuse and shades of green. This plant is a classic. Its leaves have a translucent quality that seems to make them all glow brilliantly in the sunshine.
Caladiums have been known to gardeners forever and used in the shadier areas of your yard to brighten up spots under trees, bushes and overhangs. Nowadays there are such new brilliantly colored caladiums for those shady spots and new varieties that can take more direct sun.
Our good friends at Wikipedia remind us that other names for caladium are Heart of Jesus and Angel Wings, with over 1,000 named cultivars of the original South American plant. Caladiums are found growing on riverbanks and open areas of the forest in India, Africa, Central and South America. Look for the caladiums to have either lance shaped leaves or heart-shaped leaves. Most of the varieties grow to about 2 feet tall and 2 feet wide.
Savvy gardeners know that the caladium planted before Mother's Day will likely not do too well. With all of the heavy rain before early May, the plant bulb will likely rot. So we are now in the most perfect time for caladium planting.
You can buy a small plant but can also be very successful and thriftier if you plant the "corns" available in area nurseries. Save even more money by dividing the tubers of established caladiums and propagating more plants with minimal labor or cash.
How do you grow caladiums? Well, since they come from South America, they like warm weather. They grow without too much care once established, as does their cousin the elephant ear. Most varieties of these beauties like filtered sun, while some varieties can be planted in direct sun. Check the planting instructions carefully because the shade-lovers will just sunburn and die when exposed to too much sun. They like well-drained, organically rich soil. Water them regularly and keep the soil slightly moist. Add mulch to conserve moisture. A slow-release fertilizer is a good idea.
Plant caladiums like the pros. Buy and plant one entire area with matching caladiums. This color punch will give your yard a visual boost. You can get great caladium planting ideas with inspiration from the annual Caladium Festival in Lake Placid, Florida, the last weekend in July. The area is home to a majority of the world's caladium fields. Every July since 2003, Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, has presented the Florida Caladium Showcase. This is largest indoor and outdoor display of caladiums around. It might just be worth a trip.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 will recover Samsung from the problems with their latest release,
which had software problems that caused extensive internal heat and spontaneous combustion.
While not much is known about the phone, it is speculated that it will come with a digital
assistant. This digital assistant is called Viv, and was designed by the same people that
designed Siri. As well as a digital assistant, Samsung is working on a bendable display. Such a
thing has been in the works for years from a plethora of different companies, but the S8 may be
the first time it is actually seen in a smartphone.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is scheduled for release in the spring and will most likely look

Horizons is the new season of content updates for the space-faring combat/exploration/trading sim. Frontier has announced that players will soon be able to explore planets and moons up close. This is part of their desire to bring the galaxy they've created down to a more human, relatable scale. To a similar end, they will soon be introducing character creation, something that the original release lacked (as the were precious few instances of getting that close to another player and it was impossible to leave ships). Frontier has teased that they have long-term plans for these avatars, but hasn't said exactly what those plans entail.
A new addition to gameplay mechanics will allow players to cooperatively pilot ships, alternating control of weapons systems or even piloting ship-based starfighters using the new feature that allows for that. Ship-launched fighters can also be piloted by AI for players who tackle the universe solo.
As a fun, little addition, players can now incorporate bobbleheads into their cockpits.
Recently, Frontier took to the stage at EGX to talk in greater detail about the upcoming expansions to their game and it all sound really interesting and cool. Though the game has been only available on PC up until now, Elite Dangerous is making the leap to Xbox One next week.

Maya Manor Boutique Hotel Kathmandu
Maya Manor is a historic mansion turned into a boutique hotel. The original building was built by the Commander in Chief Toran Shumsher Rana and his brother Balram SJB Rana in 1935. The Chinese Ambassador lived in this mansion for 10 years before the current owner took it over and laboriously worked hard to convert it to a boutique hotel.
Nestled in a manicured neo-classical garden, Maya Manor Boutique Hotel is adorned with a Victorian gazebo, exquisite Rocco works, and wrought iron verandas. It embodies the idea of a quintessential Victorian-era architecture furnished with antiques,art & artifacts. The regal buttery-yellow property of Maya Manor Boutique Hotel manages to offer a timely and timeless flavor of the elegant past.

2019 marks the beginning of my FIFTH year of making art every single day! Over the years I have done different challenges: a year of lettering, a year of watercolor. Most of the years have been more open: just a goal to draw or paint every day. That's what I'm doing again this year.
Ideally I spend 10-20 minutes each morning working on a piece in my sketchbook. This month it's been mostly watercolor.
I am also always happy to turn any of these pieces into a print. So let me know if there's anything that strikes your fancy!
I'll share favorite pages from my sketchbook here throughout the year so you can see what I've been creating. I share my completed pages every day on Instagram, so follow along there for a daily peek into my sketchbook.
Do you have creative goals this year? What are you making/doing?

What a carve up.....
I have just got back from the protest in Trafalgar Square. I must say that I am amazed just how much the whole thing was manipulated in favour of China.
When anyone with a 'Free Tibet' banner stood anywhere they may attract attention, a number of pro games people with much larger banners would stand in front of them and block them out. Further to this two policemen would then place themselves behind the Tibet banner holder.
Then on down Whitehall, where I saw a man shout out 'Free Tibet' and run at the flame, he was bundled to the ground by the police and dragged off.I spoke with one man and he said that from the accents of the Chinese people you could tell that they had been flown in on mass to support the games, and out number the protesters. Just goes to show how much people are prepared to go to for the money the games will generate.
But on my way back to the car, I was pleased to see that Health and Safety had made their mark on Horseguards parade. They have put signs besides the horses warning that they may bite or kick. They have been there since 1641 without signs. The horses must be more naughty now !

...a new studio! Here's me with the keys! It's very exciting. It's just a small room in the community centre just a ten minute walk from my house. It needs a very good clean before I can put any of my fabrics in it, but it has a sink (a very dirty one) and electricity and a window...what more do I need!? I am looking forward to being at home when I am at home and working when I am in the studio...at the moment, things overlap so much. I find I am constantly interrupted and distracted at home, but also I never actually stop work.
In other news, yesterday my friend Abbie saved my bacon (vegetarian bacon of course) by taking loads of brilliant pictures of my work...and not only that, she made the rubbish pictures I had previously taken, look brilliant. She is a digital goddess! She spent sooooo many hours on it all and I really am so grateful!! I'll be applying for the MA and funding to do the MA, in the next few days so everyone send me good vibes!!
Hope to be posting some work very soon - but tomorrow I'll be cleaning my studio.*
Happy New Year everyone.

Didn't manage to get hold of a ticket for Traverse ? Here are some of the top tips I picked up while I was there as a Blogger Ambassador for Three.
Sponsored Post
Traverse is a major travel conference which is attended by digital influencers from all around the world. This year's conference marked the fifth time that Traverse has been run and my first visit to the event.
This year's event was held at the Ravensbourne building, right next to the O2 in London, and 200 digital influencers attended.
With over 30 main sessions to choose from, as well as brand presentations and one-to-one sessions available, there's a lot to take in at Traverse. I came back from the conference with a book full of notes and an action list as long as my arm.
But if you didn't manage to get a ticket for this year's conference, here are some of the top tips that I picked up while I was there.
Getting the Most out of World Travel Market – Paul Nelson, World Travel Market
- World Travel Market is one of the travel industry's main B2B shows, held in London each November. It's a great place to meet up with brands and set up future collaborations.
- If you are planning to attend, make sure you register for a press pass rather than just the regular visitor pass. With a media pass, you can access the press centre (which has better wifi than in the main halls), attend press conferences, and receive research and reports.
- You can also register for the Digital Influencer Speed networking session. There are 100 places available for Digital Influencers, where you will be able to talk directly to brands who want to work with bloggers. There is a £48 fully-refunded registration cost for the Speed Networking session.
- Registration opens mid-June for press passes, and early September for the Speed Networking.
- Look at the list of exhibitors and set up meetings in advance of WTM. Do your research before you go so that you can demonstrate your value. What can you do for the brand that mainstream media can't?
Click here to read my Top Tips for Visiting WTM
Monetise Your Instagram
Nicola Easterby @polkadotpassport
Nicola started by reinforcing some of the basic principles of growing your Instagram account. Staying authentic to your brand, only posting good quality photographs, engaging (genuinely) with the community. I also picked up these useful tips:
- Find the relevant hashtag for the tourism board for destination, and also find hashtag for regram accounts. Put hashtags in the second comment to keep things looking neater.
- Make sure that your captions tell a story, ask a question, or share something. Break up your caption with spaces to make it easier to read.
- Find a unique perspective for your photos. If you are taking a photo of a famous landmark like the Eiffel Tower, try to find a way to make your photo stand out from all the other images.
- Consider the foreground and background of your image, and put a subject in your photo. It doesn't have to be you, but Nicola found that her photos became more popular when she started appearing in them.
- Vary your content but keep consistency. Don't post a rushed photo that spoils the flow of your feed.
- Develop your own unique visual style, using tools such as VSCO, Afterlight, Lightroom.
- Analyse what works and stick to it. If you haven't already switched to a Business account, it's worth doing so for the analytics function.
- If you want to monetise your Instagram, make sure you remain authentic. Be genuine with what you promote or your followers will be able to tell.
- Reach out to brands, send a DM to the brand or PR agency. Send a comprehensive pitch and let them know what value you can bring. Photos? Takeover? A blog post?
Money Making Game Changers
Monica Stott, The Travel Hack
This was another full session! Monica had a lot of useful information to pass on in her session, here are some of the main points.
- Charge for everything, or for nothing. If you do some work for free, PRs may expect you to work for free again. If you do a particular job for free because you absolutely love the brand, make sure you make it very clear that it's a favour.
- Keep charges consistent – PRs do talk to each other, and it will look odd if you are charging different rates.
- Set up content packages that you can email out to brands. eg: Blog post, Blog post + Social Media, Blog post + Social Media + Video.
- Prove that you are an influencer – set up a report template and send feedback to the brand or PR after the campaign.
- Be THE expert – the person that people turn to for information on a particular topic. But be a person, not a copywriter, make sure that your personality comes across in your writing
- Raise your reach, engagement and views. Write a series of blog posts after each trip, link all of them to one main post and promote the heck out of that one. For example, your itinerary, hotel review, packing list, restaurant review, flight review.
- If you are using affiliate links, write blog posts aimed directly at people who already want to buy something. That makes it more likely that they will click through. For example: review of a specific travel bag, best shoes to pack for Spain etc.
- If the brand really doesn't have budget but you want to do a particular press trip, try to find other ways of financing it. Email other brands who have had budget for sponsored posts in the past and see if they're interested in sponsoring one of the posts. Email as many as possible for the best result, and also consider affiliate links.
Talking Traverse and Blogging with Three
At the end of Saturday's sessions, I headed off to a local bar to have a chat with Jodie and Kellee from Three. I was one of five Ambassadors being sponsored by Three to attend Traverse, including Mellissa from Diary of a Jewellery Lover, Rachel from Rachel Nicole, Elizabeth from Rosalilium and Emily from Emily Luxton.
As well as talking over the day's events, and chatting about blogging in general, we had a really useful chat about Three's Feel at Home.
Feel at Home is really useful for bloggers travelling abroad, as it lets you use your phone abroad for no extra cost. So there's no need to buy expensive data packages or pay any extra phone charges when you are on holiday or on a press trip. You can use Feel at Home in 49 countries at the moment, and the number is increasing. And although my mobile isn't currently on Three, I'm certainly thinking about switching when my contract runs out.
How to Work with Brands and Negotiate
Kylie Bawden, Daisy Chain Communications
I was looking forward to this session, and came away with some really useful tips which are great if you're just starting to negotiate with brands. Some of Kylie's top tips were:
- Always have a contract in place for each job, and read any T&Cs thoroughly.
- For big projects do a separate contract for each part of the project. That way you can invoice as you go along.
- Quote a price for a content package rather than a day rate – day rates can make you seem very expensive
- If a brand has no budget for a press trip, suggest that you could provide other forms of content which may be financed from different budget. For example, can you provide images, take over their Instagram, provide a blog post for use on their blog.
- If a brand can pay, but the quoted rate isn't high enough, consider asking for other non-financial payment. For example, ask for upgrades, extra nights, if you can take along your partner. Or ask about restaurant meals to review and tour packages.
- Always provide a report after the campaign. Include stats, social media, blog comments etc.
Pitching to Airlines
Kerwin McKenzie, KerwinMcZenzie.com
Kerwin has masses of experience in this field, having both worked in the airline industry for year, and also as a travel blogger. His main top tips were:
- Find out what the airline is keen to promote: new planes, new routes, anniversaries. Adjust your pitch to take this into account.
- In-air magazines are a good source of information about big stories. You can usually find copies on the airline website.
- Meet representatives of airlines at WTM, ITB Berlin, New York Times and LA Times travel shows to discuss possible collaborations. Going along to press conferences is a good way to ensure you're talking to the right people.
- Payment in cash is unlikely, you're more likely to receive miles or free flights. Consider asking for an upgrade, airport lounge access or goodies from airline partners.
- Use affiliate links to monetise posts to increase the financial benefit of collaboration.

No question about it, Leonardo DiCaprio is a fine actor.
Sure there were several over the top sex scenes in the movie
(hint; don't watch this one with your kids,
younger or older).
But has anything really changed? We saw the
crash of 1987, where folks lost their entire savings,
and also their homes, etc... Many in retirement age, saw themselves going back to work, usually at
low paying jobs.
That really sucks.
And who could forget the King of the Ponzi Scheme, Bernie Madoff
who was finally arrested in 2008
(not that long ago). and took down thousands of people, including close friends and relatives (a few committing
suicide, including his own son, in the process).
Bernie now sits in jail and as far as many folks are concerned, he can rot there.
And they don't call them "brokers" for nothing...............so, who indeed will be the next Wolf of Wall Street?
Only time will tell.........
Clear Skies,

low & sell high. And right now

The tangled web of falsehood and deceit had enmeshed the very soul Nigeria's state and its political actors". Some of them certainly have a great deal of fancy and a very good memory, but with a perverse ingenuity. They employ these qualities in sleaze and malfeasance when serving in public offices of trust.
The maxim that; "no one does anything from a single motive" is very apt when discussing the cancerous proportion of corruption in the Nigerian government at any time in history. Successive governments since independence kept preaching, pontificating high moral ground in the fight against corruption. It was just a mere 10% contract kickback that angered some young overzealous Army Officers' into staging the first military putsch in Nigeria.
"All happy families are alike, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." So, at independence, all countries on the African continent shared the same characteristics of dependency, but peculiar proportion of corruption. It is on this premise that Nigeria, the giant of the continent, has continually shown the world that it is truly the African giant. A former Britain Prime Minister once without mincing words described Nigeria as fantastically corrupt.
This historical background intends as merely a corroborative detail, to add verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and cliché narrative of corruption trajectory in Nigeria. "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward." Now, I will fast-forward this conversation through the passage of time into the present. In spite of the huge natural resources deposited under the ground that the territorial sovereign state of Nigeria covers, the country is rated poor by World Bank index. Other international economic and financial institutions have the same verdict for Nigeria.
To exacerbate what seems an endless cyclical trend among successive ruling elite, international financial institutional and donor agencies have conspired in a concerted pattern of pervasive capital flight to impoverish Nigerians and enslave them the second time. This is a clear case of the second era of slavery some young African revolutionaries cried out as a warning long time ago.
Walter Rodney, Frantz Fanon, Amicar Cabral, Patrick Lumumba, Kwame Nkuruma, Thomas Sankara, Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Bob Nesta Marley in their lifetime raised their prophetic voices against at independence and shortly after. Social Development Integrated Centre (Social Action) in its media parley recently has this poser as the focus of interrogation. I do not need to belabour myself and my esteemed reading public the summary of Nigeria's total public debt, stock and external.
It is on this understanding of the working of the system that "Foreign Loans", Budgetary Allocations are perennially diverted from its original purpose to the unknown. This is why there exist a scary proportion of poverty, infrastructure deficits, crime, religious fundamentalism, terrorism and general disillusion by the masses.
Nigeria's parliament must show leadership and place moratorium on further borrowing by the country and order immediate investigation into the usage of the past borrowings. Details of past borrowing and the projects executed with the funds must be made available to the public and compliance with the letters of the FRA.
Secondly, I am equally in support of mobilizing the masses for a revolutionary from below to uproot the dominant capitalist status quo and enthrone Socialism as a possible alternative for a better society.

We live in Minnesota, and we're already halfway through October. You know what this means, right? Winter is just around the corner—cooler temps even closer. Is your heater prepared for all the work it's about to go through? Even if you've had your heating system maintained already before starting to use it on a daily basis, are you certain that it will function as efficiently as it should, in order to keep your home comfortable at an affordable price?
An important factor to note is that no matter what type of heating system you have, it has its limits on how efficiently it can operate. Even those heating systems with the highest ratings have a stopping point. However, there are certainly ways in which to get the most out of your heater, and potentially boost its efficiency beyond what you'd be getting otherwise. Contact us for reliable Centerville, MN heating services, and keep reading to learn more about how to utilize your heating system as efficiently as possible this winter.

A short 50-minute flight from Manila followed by leisurely half-hour van ride from the airport takes you to one of the Bicol Region's luxurious destinations. This spot of paradise tucked away in the province of Albay is your tropical island getaway. And it's called Misibis Bay...
Misibis Bay is an elegant and exclusive private island resort offering spectacular sights, amazing views and memorable dining experiences for that perfect tropical island getaway. The new Pacific View Wing is the latest addition to this spot of paradise in Bicol, offering guests a breathtaking and panoramic vista of the ocean. Room service for breakfast becomes an all-new experience in itself at Misibis Bay's new Pacific View Rooms, adding yet one more layer to your tropical island getaway down south...
Officially launched in August of 2017, the new Pacific View Wing of Misibis Bay is a massive 60-room complex offering scenic views of the blue Pacific. The pristine white structure with its panoramic glass sliding doors frame the azure blue Pacific for picture perfect views all throughout your stay in Misibis Bay. Available in three different room categories, from Standard Pacific View to Deluxe Pacific View and One Bedroom Premier Pacific View, the new Pacific View Wing at Misibis Bay is yet another reason to experience that perfect tropical island getaway down south in Bicolandia. The new Pacific View Wing is a welcome addition to the resort's existing Beach Front Villas, Pool View Villas, Garden View Villas, and Garden View Rooms for even more options (for more on Misibis Bay's new Pacific View Wing, see my post on my other travel blog at A Room With A View At Misibis Bay's New Pacific View Wing). For those that enjoy the sea, the new Pacific View Wing gets you close, really close, to the ocean.
The elegant and luxurious 5-hectare property immerses guests in a lavish tropical island vibe with its wide open layout and calming pools ringed by palm trees and lush greens. Managed by Enderun Hospitality Management, a hospitality management solutions provider focusing on local independent hotel and restaurant owners, guests are assured of impeccable service and memorable dining experiences by one of the country's fastest growing management groups. Currently serving twelve prestigious hotels and resorts between Manila, Boracay, Bohol and Davao (for more on Enderun Hospitality Management and their roster of clients, visit their website at https://www.enderunhospitalitymanagement.com/ or see my earlier posts on Legazpi City's Hotel St. Ellis at Flavors of Legazpi: Local Flavors at Hotel St. Ellis' Crossroads Cafe and Modern Touches and Little Touches: Mom's Day Weekend at Midas Hotel & Casino on one of the city by the bay's premier destinations managed by Enderun Hospitality Management), Misibis Bay is clearly one of the many jewels in an impressive portfolio of properties.
The sprawling property is impressive, and entering the winding road leading to the resort's Front Office offers a glimpse of what you can expect in one of the Bicol Region's famed destinations. Even the rains failed to dampen my excitement, and this was going to be an awesome three days at Misibis Bay.
Inside the equally impressive Front Office, the bright and spacious interiors with its dramatic high ceiling and open design is a welcome sight after the mid-morning flight from Manila. A refreshing Welcome Beverage soothes both the palate and body, and your tropical island getaway at Misibis Bay begins with the fist sip...
A quick check-in at the Front Desk kicks off your tropical island getaway, and the resort's golf cart is ready to transport you to your Pacific View Room.
Throughout the expansive property, the different clusters of accommodations exude that carefree island tropical vibe with its clean and modern lines surrounded by the free-flowing forms of the resort's Lagoon Pool, Infinity Pool and Kiddie Pool. The wide open scale and layout of the resort provides an immediate and welcome break from the daily urban grind, a liberating experience for that much needed retreat. You can even request for a hammock and lounge under a tree for spot truly your very own at Misibis Bay.
Down by the resort's private beach, the new Pacific View Wing stands prominently at the ocean's edge, jutting out for impressive views of the blue Pacific.
Each room at the new Pacific View Wing has a balcony allowing guests to take in the ocean breeze while enjoying the spectacular views. The views calms the mind and body, but the interiors are just as impressive...
Inside your Pacific View Room, the streamlined yet spacious design redefines tropical island luxury to a whole new level complete with all the modern comforts you need for a relaxed stay including fast Wi-Fi access and a large screen LCD TV with cable channels, just in case you wish to stay connected with the rest of the world.
The plush and velvety smooth linens tempt you, but one glance at the view draws you to the balcony. It's views like this that make the new Pacific View Wing special, even on cloudy days. The stunning views alone become the highlight of your Misibis Bay experience, but there's so much more to discover in this spot of paradise.
In my Pacific View Room, a tub (L) fronting the sliding glass doors offer another soothing way to enjoy the views. Outfitted with modern and luxurious bathroom fittings (R), soaking in the tub becomes a mandatory leisure activity in your itinerary at Misibis Bay. Fill it up with warm water and gently get in facing the ocean. Perfect.
Each room has all the amenities you need for a pampered and memorable stay at Misibis Bay, from toiletries...
...to coffee and tea-making facilities. In my Pacific View Room, paper filters and premium ground coffee beans allow you to brew your own cup any time you feel like it. And there's just nothing quite like a cup of coffee in the privacy of your own room with spectacular views of the ocean just a few steps away.
Open up the sliding glass doors and soak it all in. This is your front row seat to the scenic wonders of Bicolandia, and this is what greets you every time you wake up in your Pacific View Room. Seriously, it just can't get better than this.
Later that evening, the staff at Misibis Bay prepared our outdoor dining set-up by the resort's Infinity Pool. At Misibis Bay, it's easy to feel special. Executive Chef Roel Legson (L) prepared his signature Pagkaong Bicolnon for the evening's feast under the stars for a taste of Bicolandia in a memorable setting.
Cocktails from Sula Bar and starters from Spice Cafe were served by the pool, including Misibis Bay's Nilasing na Hipon (P 481) with plump and succulent shrimps marinated in wine, delicately deep-fried and served with a spicy vinegar dip. Cocktails and crispy shrimp under the stars, and it's just our first evening at Misibis Bay.
Diners can savor the flavors of Bicolandia with Misibis Bay's Bicol Bento Box (P 801) featuring an assortment of Bicolandia's culinary pride in one sumptuous platter with Bicol Express, Tilmok, Adobo sa Asin, and Cocido paired with steamed white rice.
The creamy and spicy Bicol Express opens up the palate with its bold flavors followed by the savory richness of the pork, while the delicate notes of the Tilmok, draped in coconut cream, presents yet another layer in the unique and colorful culinary tapestry the Bicol Region. It's the blend of of both creamy and spicy flavors, both seemingly contrasting notes, that define Bicolano cuisine. You'll want some extra steamed white rice with the Adobo sa Asin, a Bicolnon spin on the national dish. Boiled and reduced in vinegar, garlic, salt and laurel until all the liquid is fully absorbed, the tender and lightly crisp pork delivers bold flavors with each bite. Complete your authentic Bicolnon feast with a bowl of hearty Cocido, a sumptuous seafood soup with fresh fish in a light broth simmered with vegetables.
Executive Chef Roel Legson also shared his version of Pork Dinuguan, the classic pork blood stew, infused with a Bicolano touch with burnt coconut ash adding a unique depth of flavor. Fresh chili adds that soothing heat, and I was told locals enjoy this dish with even more finely chopped chili mixed in the stew. The layers of heat and hints of burnt coconut adds a distinct nutty richness to the traditional dish, and yes, you'll definitely go for extra rice with this dish.
For dessert, enjoy even more local flavors like the indulgent Leche Flan Turon (P 278), a fried spring roll filled with custard and jackfruit served with rich and creamy vanilla sauce paired with the sweet and spicy Sili Ice Cream (P 241) for another taste of Bicolandia. Choose your desired heat level, from Level 1 to 5, and enjoy.
Chili in ice cream? It's not an authentic Bicolnon experience without chili. Even in ice cream. After a lavish feast of authentic Bicolnon flavors the night before, the next morning brings with it even more possibilities in a laundry list of must-do activities while in Misibis Bay.
The new Pacific View Wing, despite the grey skies that early morning, still exuded that luxurious tropical island vibe with its pristine white facade accentuated by its panoramic glass sliding doors. It's a good day to walk down to the resort's Spice Cafe for breakfast...
A freshly brewed cup of coffee gets you on the right track, and it's another perfect day at Misibis Bay.
Spice Cafe offers both A La Carte and an extensive buffet spread for breakfast, including live stations for Omelets and Pancakes fresh off the hot griddle prepared just the way you like it. Choose from a wide array of local offerings like Beef Tapa, Pork Tocino and crispy fried Dried Fish along with many more savory dishes paired with garlic fried rice and eggs, or you can also opt for a selection of gourmet Cheeses with freshly-baked bread, charcuterie and Smoked Salmon. That morning, Spice Cafe also offered comforting bowls of Champorado, a local rice porridge with chocolate topped with crunchy dried salted fish. Cereals, salads, fresh fruits, whatever you like for that perfect start of the day, Spice Cafe has it covered.
After breakfast, the sun finally made its appearance, and it was a good day to sample Misibis Bay's various water activities. At Misibis Bay's Beach Club, guests can enjoy a variety of non-motorized and motorized activities, including windsurfing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling, and Hobie Cat sailing. For that adrenaline rush, you can also opt for Misibis Bay's popular banana boat ride, wake boarding, water ski, or race around the calm waters on a jetski. The property also offers excellent dive spots for divers, and you can go scuba diving at the property's marina or go on a boat trip for offshore dive sites. Beginners can take an Intro Dive session with Misibis Bay's certified PADI instructors as well before exploring the scenic marine wonders of Misibis Bay.
At the resort's Beach Club, the staff will have you geared up and ready for your adventure in no time. Guests can also inquire with the resort's Guest Activities Coordinator to curate a customized itinerary for you and your family to make the most of tropical island getaway at Misibis Bay.
That morning, we hit the beach with a long-list of must-try activities, starting with a relaxing cruise aboard the Hobie Cat. The Hobie Cat can comfortably accommodate three to five including the skilled helmsman, and if you're up to it, you can tell the helmsman to let it rip and go flat out beyond the breakwater. There's just something about sailing that triggers a mental playlist in your head as you feel the sudden rush of wind and spray from the ocean...
...followed by kayaking on the calm waters for an early morning workout. Paddling on the kayak lets you experience nature up close, with the wind and the waves bringing you back to nature for that long-awaited escape. And Misibis Bay takes you there with their wide array of non-motorized and motorized activities without leaving the resort.
If you're feeling the need for speed, Misibis Bay's powerful jetskis should do the trick. Nothing like going all-out on the throttle for that adrenaline rush. The smooth jet-like sound of the roaring engine, the wind and the splashing thuds of waves is liberating, and your mental playlist suddenly goes hard rock in perfect rhythm with the splashing spray on your face.
After one more lap with the Jetski, we were off on one of Misibis Bay's powerboats for a cruise to a secluded cove...
...and after a short fifteen-minute speedboat ride across the property and out to the open seas, we get a glimpse of the secluded beach along the channel. Flanked by islands on both sides, the waters at the center were calm and flat. Serene, peaceful and isolated, it's everything you've always envisioned about finding that tropical island all for yourself. Misibis Bay had more surprises in store, and this one promised to be a tasty one too.
At the private beach, Misibis Bay's Guest Activities Coordinator set up an elaborate beach picnic, complete with native mats and colorful bean bags for another perfect day in paradise.
A few sips of refreshing coconut juice gets you in the tropical island vibe in no time...
Misibis Bay's chef and staff were busy at the grill preparing another sumptuous lunch. A private beach, a grill and a cold beer...that's just another typical day served up at Misibis Bay.
After a few more minutes on the grill, lunch was served. The impressive spread included grilled Lamb Chops, Salmon, Pork Barbecue, Chicken Barbecue, Squid, Prawns, Steak and...
...succulent Crabs for an epic island picnic, Misibis Bay style. Laid on steamed white rice over banana leaves, it's a classic Boodle Fight on the beach. The lamb chops and the steak were perfectly grilled, remaining juicy and tender. The steak, grilled to medium with a juicy pink center, was so tender, you could tear out a piece with your bare hands. The squid was also tender, as grilling something as delicate as squid can be a hit or miss thing with just a few minutes over the charcoal and nothing more. The chef and his team just executed the Boodle feast perfectly. This one's way up there on my list of memorable dining experiences. Hats off to Misibis Bay and Executive Chef Roel Legson's team for an epic island feast. Misibis Bay can arrange cruises aboard their many speedboats with lunch on a private beach, just ask your Guest Activities Coordinator or the Front Desk. A sunset cruise and a grand view of the iconic Mount Mayon? Misibis Bay can arrange that too. After another hearty lunch, take a swim in the calm waters of the private beach. Or do nothing at all. Have another bottle of ice-cold beer. And enjoy your piece of paradise.
After an unforgettable feast at a private beach, Misibis Bay's fast speedboat takes you back to the resort. One more dip at the pool? Why not.
Later that evening, candles lined up the path leading to an elegant table set up near Spice Cafe and Sitio for another elegant dinner. Soothing cocktails from Sula Bar were served, including the Blue Hawaii and Frozen Margarita for a pre-dinner tipple. Misibis Bay just thought of everything to make our experience a memorable one.
The Baked Beef Caldereta (P 1,085) is one of Misibis Bay's popular signature favorites with fork-tender beef ribs simmered and stewed in tart tomato sauce with vegetables and liver paste topped with cheese. Fork-tender beef draped in a rich sauce infused with the rounded notes of liver paste and covered with cheese, it's a leveled-up version of the usual caldereta. All these distinct flavors combine in a seamless blend with every bite.
As we enjoyed our feast, we were served one more dish. Fat, succulent Crabs slathered in a rich chili sauce with noodles capped another indulgent feast at Misibis Bay. And it won't be complete without a generous heap of spicy chili.
A hearty and comforting bowl of Chicken Tinola completed our feast at Spice Cafe. But save room for dessert...
Cap your feast with the indulgent Chocolate Mousse (P 241), with velvety smooth and decadent Belgian chocolate draped on freshly baked and moist chocolate cake topped with chocolate shavings. Each day just keeps getting better and better at Misibis Bay.
After dinner, guests can enjoy Table Tennis, Board Games, the Gym and Billiards (R) at Sitio, the resort's indoor activity center. Or you can belt out your favorite tunes at Sitio's KTV Room (L). For me, a relaxing signature massage from The Essences Spa seemed like a pretty good idea after a full day of activities.
And when you have a great view of the ocean in your Pacific View Room, it's a shame not to have room service for breakfast during your stay at Misibis Bay.
Misibis Bay's Homemade Pancakes (P 308) served with Canadian bacon, maple syrup and blueberry compote starts your day on the right track. Soft and fluffy, the pancakes are a perfect match with the lightly crisp and smoky Canadian bacon. Paired with a freshly brewed pot of Coffee (P 148), mornings just can't get any better at Misibis Bay's new Pacific View Wing. Recharged, you're just about ready for one last round of adventures at Misibis Bay...
...this time on Misibis Bay's rugged and powerful four-wheel drive All-Terrain Vehicle or ATV. You can take a thirty minute tour of the Eco-Park or go all the way up to the scenic hilltop at 5 Views for majestic sights of the Albay Gulf, the expansive Pacific Ocean, and weather permitting, a glimpse of the iconic Mayon Volcano.
The route along the scenic Eco-Park takes you to the Amphitheater, with its terraced stone seating and massive pillars with the blue Pacific as its backdrop. It's a sight to behold, and getting up there on a powerful ATV makes it even better.
Further up along the trail, one can enjoy scenic views of the ocean and nearby islands. And getting there is part of the fun aboard an ATV. There's just so many things to do in Misibis Bay, both on land and sea, for an adventure-filled experience.
But the real fun begins at the end of the paved roads when you hit the rugged dirt trails. The numerous steep inclines along the trail with rocks and dirt is no problem with the ATV. Simply press the 4 Wheel Drive button for increased traction and press hard on the gas with your right thumb and the ATV takes care of the rest. The exhilarating drive all the way to the top with your thumb pressed flat out on the gas takes you to 5 Views. And what a view. At the top in 5 Views, you can take a breather and enjoy the sights. On the downhill route back to the resort, the ATV takes you through each natural obstacle with ease. Make that another check mark on a long bucket list at Misibis Bay. You can also arrange for Cocktails at 5 Views with the Front Desk while enjoying the sunset. Outside the resort, Misibis Bay can also arrange various tours and activities, including the Eco-Park Tour, Zipline, Luge Cart, Cave Exploration at Pototan Cave, Scuba Diving at Ticao's Manta Bowl, a Legazpi City Tour, a whole day Bicol Adventure tour, a unique Bicol Underground Tour, and a historic Legazpi Long Ago tour.
Back in my Pacific View Room, I savor the last few hours in an adventure-filled three days of sights, views and flavors at Misibis Bay. A feeble attempt at holding on to the view for just a little while longer somehow alleviates the pain of leaving paradise so soon.
The new Pacific View Wing at Misibis Bay is just one of the many reasons to take that long overdue tropical island getaway down south, offering the promise of spectacular views and unforgettable memories.
The coach ride to Legazpi City Airport offers one last glimpse of Misibis Bay before that plane ride to Manila. At Misibis Bay, you choose your adventure, on land or sea, or simply savor the local sights and flavors. And for three days, I experienced it all...

Sheridan passes test with flying coloursBy Kyabram Free Press
SHERIDAN aged care has passed its latest reaccreditation with flying colours.
The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission had three surveyors at Kyabram District Health Service over two days to evaluate the provider.
Every aspect of the operation got a glowing tick of approval, with KDHS recognised for their high quality and innovative work engaging with consumers, infection control and the organisation's philosophy towards care.
"On behalf of the board and senior management team, I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary work of our staff in achieving this great outcome,'' interim chief executive David Edwards said.
''This cannot happen without great team work and commitment to ensuring the safety and quality of the care we deliver to our community. Congratulations to everyone.''

Dear Christy,
What is the etiquette on getting down and dirty with a guy at a club? I'd like to just jump in there, but maybe I'm too eager. What would Fantz do?
—Dancing Machine
Dancey Pants:
Fantz wouldn't go to a club. Sorry. It's never been my bag.
However, if I was forced at gunpoint, I would come baked and equipped with adult diapers and nicotine patches. I'd plant my ass belly-up and slip the barkeep extra cash to ensure my drink was never empty. I'd slur jokes to disinterested patrons who are trying to pass 12 shots over my shoulder. Then I'd take my sticky arms outside to smoke and never return.
But that's just what Fantz would do. Hey, you asked.
Most people need liquid courage to dry hump a fellow club patron, so if you have the spirit to get that antsy pelvis right in there, then knock 'em and sock hop 'em, pal.
Keep in mind some pointers:
• If it's 8:45 p.m. and there's only one dude on the floor, let him work out his weird waltz before you Butabi-brothers pounce.
•Practice a super sweet routine and put it into action.
•Don't really do that.
•Do not grope, fondle or squish other patrons' body parts. Touching another person's privates without consent is sexual assault.
•If anyone looks uncomfortable with your bold moves, abort mission. Find next dude.
Now that you're packed with good pointers, get that ass bouncing and those moves pouncing.
And don't call me again. Please don't make me go back.
A guy I started dating has long nails on only one hand. Like long, groomed and filed nails. It's weird. And not something you find out on Tinder. Would I be a bitch if I dumped him for not cutting his nails?
—Man Scratch Fever
Nailed It:
Oh, anything that runneth over society's shotglass is "weird." When things fall outside the standard fold, we condemn it.
But sure, it's kinda weird. (Suck on that, society.)
Perhaps he plays a stringed instrument? I know a couple a dudes who grow their nails to enhance guitar fingerpicking. Maybe he snorts cocaine off his nail plates and didn't want the pinky nail to be the lone outlaw.
If he's a gem otherwise and you're dumping him because his nails are forging their natural course, I wouldn't say you were a bitch, I'd just patronize your standards. If you forever nitpick the small stuff, at age 40 you'll wind up drinking your own tears mixed with wine and snacking on beef jerky dipped in Cheez Whiz while bingeing season 324 of "Dancing With the Stars.
You would.
However, if his claws are atop a mounding pile of negatives, then release him back to the Tinder wild.

The Upper West Regional Minister, Dr Ephraim Aveah Nsoh, has called on municipal and districts assemblies in the region to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to grow.
He said such support would go a long way to provide employment opportunities to the youth and also raise the living conditions of the people.
He made the call during a workshop held in Wa for district co-ordinating directors, budget and planning officers, among others.
It was sponsored by the Business Sector Advocacy Challenge (BUSAC) Fund.
Dr Nsoh was not happy about the way the assemblies were managing the private sector and, therefore, suggested that the assemblies could set up some funds meant solely for the development of that sector.
'Government would soon come out with a framework on the Public Private Partnership (PPP) so that we can leverage our resources which as an assembly you will be the managers, he added.
He expressed his unhappiness about how some assembly staff responded to meetings and warned that such attitudes would not be countenanced.
'If as a Minister I am here it is not excusable for others to be absent; Our mandate is to develop our districts, ' Dr Nsoh said.
He commended the BUSAC Fund for building the capacity of the participants since such advocacy which ensured competition in the private sector was welcomed.
The office chief of BUSAC Fund is in Tamale in the Northern Region, Mr Dennis Puodeme, said the fund had been providing grants to private sector organisations on competitive basis to implement activities to influence public policies and create the dialogue needed to highlight private sector needs and concerns.
He was of the view that the private sector was in an ideal position to advocate change provided they could make research issues clearly and make compelling arguments for change.

- Living in Community
"I love mankind," Charlie Brown says. "It's people I can't stand." People can be joy-stealers in our lives. Paul writes to the Philippians and talks about how God's people are to live and relate – both to those in society at large and to those within the community of faith. The key is to adopt the same attitude of Jesus Christ, the One who came to serve, not to be served.

Ambode denies report on LASTMA
GOVERNOR Akinwunmi Ambode did not at any time direct the stoppage of arrests of vehicles and motorists that contravene Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) regulations.
This clarification was contained In a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Habib Aruna, the state government said it has received reports of some criminally minded people attacking officials of LASTMA on their legitimate duties on the pretext that the Governor had directed at his meeting with LASTMA officials on Wednesday to desist from arresting offending motorists.
It said in areas like Badagry on Thursday, some officials of the agency were attacked and maimed by some motorists on the premise that Governor Ambode has directed that no vehicle or motorists should be arrested by LASTMA anymore.
The statement added that when the governor met the LASTMA officials alongside operatives of KAI and VIS on Wednesday, he had said: "Don't victimise Lagosians, there are more civil ways to control and arrest offenders. From now on, no harassment; you are enforcement officers and not harassment officers, arrest people in civil manner".
The governor also urged the LASTMA officials to embrace the use of technology in effecting arrest of contravened vehicles instead of physical arrest of motorists and vehicles at the scene of incidents.
The state government warned that the full force of the law would be brought to bear on all erring members of the public who attempt any illegality in terms of obstructing operatives of LASTMA from carrying out their legitimate and lawful duties.

Red Deer residents will see a slight increase on the City portion of their electricity bills starting March 1, 2017.
Red Deer City Council approved three readings to the Electric Utility Bylaw amendment, which will see an increase of approximately $3.24 per month for typical residential customers.
The increase is a result of:
- Delivery (wires): $0.19/month (includes provincial transmission costs & City distribution)
- Balancing Pool: $2.70/month (due to Provincial increases)
- Local Access Fee: $0.35/month (City increase)
Council has approved administration's recommendation to raise the distribution tariff by 3 per cent. It also reflects a change to the Balancing Pool Allocation from a credit of $0.00336 per kWh to a charge of $0.00114 per kWh. This is the first time customers will see a charge instead of a credit as the result of the unknown impacts of the provincial carbon levy.
Monthly distribution tariff charges – part of municipal delivery charges, not the retailer's energy and billing charges - for typical residential customers in Red Deer are competitive with Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Airdrie and Grande Prairie.
The bylaw was approved in conjunction with the 2017 Operating Budget, approved on January 20.
The City must budget for and collect Red Deer customers' share of the costs of building and maintaining the provincial transmission grid that delivers electricity to the city. Provincial transmission costs are established by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) and approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). The City has no jurisdiction over these costs but must ensure payment to the AESO.

Iceland won't lives up to your dreams you have before the trip. It is often not the frozen winterish wonderly landscape you might expect – it is the all changing landscape that constantly redresses itself. Every time it changes, it does so with a huge cocktail of snow and ice and storm and sun and clouds and pink and blue and yellow and black and white.
Iceland in Winter: Different to your expectations
Although it's hard to pinpoint what to expect exactly from a volcano in the far Northern Hemisphere, I was surprised of the different moods it finally presented. Snowstorms, ice and frozen waterfalls on Snæfellsnes. A smiling Kirkjufell hiding under the snow. Massive greyness accompanied by vastly illuminated cloudscapes during sunset in Southern Iceland (Þórsmörk, Reynisfjara and Dyrhólaey). Hardly any ice at Jökulsárlón and the glaciers and Diamond Beach due to massive rain and higher temperatures. Silent fields of pure emptiness. And in between: overwhelming beauty. Colors and impressions you will never forget.
Iceland does not live to the sterotype of a northern country in winter. It's different, it's surprising and it is worth every single step you make. Every mile you drive on oh those roads, those endless roads.
by Sebastian Holmer
On the one hand, winter obviously changes the look of Iceland. An island of color temporarily hides under a blanket and turns into a monochromatic dream of colors and tones. But on the other, it also changes the country's acoustic appearance – and therefore creates an opera of light and change.
Iceland in Winter: snow, rough storms and Aurora Borealis
The desaturated country becomes a silent desert of snow and loneliness. The only sound that reaches for your ears is the roaring of the waves – and the scissoring blow of the storm that just appeared out of nowhere. But within a minute, the view and color and light and mood changed instantly. At Dyrhólaey and Reynisfjara, nature reinvented itself about a dozen times. From light to darkness, from eternal warmth to cutting coldness. The elements shapes the landscape and creates stunning vistas. The landscape around Þórsmörk is the perfect example. Volcanic rock and ice create strong contrasts – a bit like you might think about the moon Europa. Especially around Snæfellsnes (Arnastapi & Gatklettur) the effects become omnipresent. You cannot run away from its beauty – not even while trying to hide behind the waterfall Kvernufoss (Seljalandsfoss' less visited brother). In the end, the Northern Lights will get you anyway. Hopefully.
Thank god you can take a rest and breath from the visual bombardement in the capital Reykjavik – especially at the amazing Hallgrimskirkja or the sculpture Sólfar by Jón Gunnar Árnason. Just for a moment though. You know you want to return. As soon as possible.
The Faroe Islands' mountainous islands will keep you waiting. And wandering.
Don't mind returning. Don't mind waiting. Be patient.
Don't mind returning. Don't mind waiting. Be patient.
You will probably visit the spots more often; you simply have to. The waterfall of Gásadalur, one of the most beautiful views of the island. The remote village of Saksun with its natural lagoon and old farm houses. Gjógv and its famous natural harbor. The village and fjord of Tjørnuvík. Kvívík, one of the oldest settlements of the islands. The lighthouse of Kallur on the island of Kalsoy – famous due to its appearance as the cover of National Geographic. The extraordinary landscapes of high mountains, sharp cliffs and the rough sea will keep you going. Constantly, through the mist. Waiting for the light to win its endless fight at least for a second.
Turn around and start leaving the crowded beaches of Bali. Head towards the back country of the island and discover a totally different landscape.
Explore the rice terraces of Bali, Indonesia. Reimagine the color palatte.
Among the most popular destinations of Bali are the rice terraces of Tegalalang and Jatiluwih. Both are perfect examples of a more rural, more authentic Bali. This cultural landscape belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage. The cooperative water management and farming system known as subaks reflect the omnipresent philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. It draws together the idea of the spiritual mind, the human world and nature. You might want to rest for a while, enjoy the constantly changing light of the scenery and enjoy the aura of the landscape. Its richness of colors, the complexity of the arrangements and the connection to the area are simply overwhelming.
Next to the popular rice terrages of Jatiluwih and Tegalalang, you'll find hundreds of terraces in the other parts of the Island – you might not want to miss the landscape around the village of Pupuan or Karangasem. All of them have a beautiful tiny little detail in common: little shrines of the Goddess Dewi Sri, constantly filled with lovely (and sometimes surprisingly weird) offerings.
Some say it's one of the most obvious reasons to visit the country: The Waterfalls of Iceland.
You have to see for yourself. And hear.
There is an endless number of waterfalls waiting to be discovered. You have for sure seen plenty of them on photographs before. However, you still have to experience them for yourself: Get an impression of scale. Of power. And beauty.
The massive amount of people around Gullfoss. The hidden paths and ridiciulously blue glacial water of Bruarfoss. The spectacular light of Kirkjufellfoss in front of the amazing mountain during sunrise. The waterfall of the Gods: Godafoss, probably the most beautifull waterfall of the island. The pitifull Geitafoss right next to it, which is pretty often ignored. The waterfalls around the river Skjálfandafljót, especially Aldeyjarfoss (which looks like Darth Vader). The twin waterfalls of Ridley Scott's Prometheus: Dettifoss and Sellfoss. The overwhelming moment when you realize how large Europe's most powerful waterfall – Dettifoss – actually is. The brutal sound of the water. The incredible landscape of Hallormsstadhur which houses the famous Hengifoss. Skogafoss in the south of Iceland. You have to walk behind the sensational Seljalandsfoss and get soaked. Gljúfrafoss, which is hidden in a small cave.
And there are so many waterfalls of Iceland left to explore. Because it's a country built of fire, ice and water.
These days, you probably won't be the first person to visit this part of Iceland. You won't be the first to photograph that landscape in this part of the world. You won't be the first to drive down that road. But it is still the first time you see it with your own eyes. It is still the first time to encounter the landscape on your own. You, the landscape and the light. And your camera.
Iceland constantly changes. Light constantly changes. Time for a hunt.
There is no reason to stay at home.
Kirkjufell is located on the Northern coast of Snæfellsnes and is considered Iceland's most popular and most photographed mountain.
Kirkjufell – the church mountain. Iceland's Sugarloaf.
There is a simple reason for this popularity: First, glaciers shaped the 463m Kirkjufell, creating an almost iconic shape. Besides its astonishing visual look, the area around the tiny village of Grundarfjörður is also famous for the several cascades of the waterfall Kirkjufellsfoss. Plenty of tiny waterfalls create a landscape worth being shown in any fantasy movie. The river winds itself towards the fjord, guiding us towards the summit.
Be patient.
Light changes anything. The mountain recieves a totally different aura during the several times of the day. Sit down and breath during those few hours between twilight and dawn. Wait for the mountain to change during Golden Hour and during Blue Hour.
Snæfellsnes – Iceland en Miniature
Snaefellsnes, the peninsula in the western part of Iceland: Some of the island's most beautiful landmarks create a stunning landscape.
Because of the remote location of Snaefellsnes, travelling on road 54 and 574 is the best way to get around. The Snæfellsjökull, a volcano whose summit is covered by a huge glacier, dominates the entire peninsula. Due to its almost mystic aura, this place is well known: According to Jules Verne, descending into the jökull of Snaefell marks the beginning of the Journey of the Center of the Earth.
Búðir, Arnarstapi and Gatklettur
We do breath some fresh air at the tiny village of Búðir with its few houses and one of the oldest (wooden) churches of Iceland: Búðakirkja.
In Arnarstapi, Jules Vernes last stop before the caves of Snaefellsjökull, the ocean created stunning views at the cliff of Gatklettur and its stone archs. Again, the sunrise paints a wonderful pink into the sky. But you probably want to continue: A couple of miles ahead, the basalt rock pinnacles of Lóndranger arise.
Be aware though: During all the hiking around the area of Snaefell, one should keep an eye on attacking birds – in the Alfred Hitchcock way. You constantly seem to come way to close to their breeding grounds. Better don't be surprised if you see people carrying posts above their head. Or even tripods. It really helps.
Kirkjufell – how mother nature shows off at Snæfellsnes
Our tour continues to the famous mountain Kirkjufell and its attendant waterfalls: Kirkjufellfoss. It somehow feels like it is nature's way to show mankind how to pause for a moment and simply accept its sheer beauty. The mountain constantly changes its significant shape. The light of those ridiculous short nights during the summer of July offers hours of magical moments.
For a moment, we need to rest here.
Easter at Lago di Garda, Italy.
Easter at Lago di Garda, Italy.
Lake Garda is the largest lake it Italy, making it one of the most popular destinations in that area. Rightly, obviously. Shaped by the glaciers of the last Ice Age, populated by a lot of adorable villages, occupied and made alive by thousands of people.
More silent parts of the lake are rare, but exist in the more rural part of the Province of Brescia, the western part of the lake.
There are countless places to find your special part of Lake Garda. Shots were made during sunrise above Gargnano at the western part of the lake. Less touristic, less hectic. Endless cliffs make it more difficult to find the perfect spot though.
The eastern and more popular part of the lake makes it perfect for astonishing sunsets, such as at Malcesine and the sensational village of Sirmione.
There is a saying in Scotland: "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes." – Ok.
Photographs to prove diversity of light, landscape and weather of Scotland. Sunset and sunrise at the Quiraing and the beautiful Eilean Donan Castle, a dramatic storm over Staffin Bay at Isle of Skye. The eternal grayness of Coral Beach and its landscape near Dunvegan and Neist Point; the beautiful to and around The Storr. The neverending bens, glens and lochs of the Highlands: Loch Leven, Glen Etive. Worth the wait, looking forward to return.

Oil price slump has traditionally been believed to cause stock markets in the gulf region to fall and plunging oil has often been blamed for leading the regional stock market lower. However, this view may not be 100% true, a research by Wealth Monitor Intelligence reveals.
Recent headlines across the globe have resonated fears of a global slowdown. A direct fall out of the same is expected to keep downwards pressure on oil prices. Having corrected over 70% in the last 18 months to the current levels of around $35/bbl, the supply side is being looked at as a savior. Focus over the last few weeks around the deal between Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Venezuela on freezing production reflects the same.
This fall in crude prices has been a major source of concern for investors in the Middle East and North Africa region. The general notion of the over dependence of these economies on oil has bought to the fore fears of increasing rating downgrades and fiscal concerns. Bassel Khatoun, Chief Investment Officer, MENA Equities, Franklin Local Asset Management prefers to take a more balanced approach amidst these cries of doomsday and opines that one needs to take a more measured view. In his opinion, the MENA economies are not entirely dependent on oil. Besides having amassed considerable foreign exchange reserves to cushion potential deficits, they boast of highly under leveraged debt-to-GDP ratios and have been making a concerted effort to drift away from the oil dependency. He goes on to highlight the decline in the regional equity markets over 2015 being largely in line with other emerging markets rather than the fall in energy prices.
Wealth Monitor Intelligence has mined the data of the regional stock indices over the last 10 years to try and understand the correlation of the equity indices to the of crude oil prices. What comes out is a clear change in relationship; while most regional indices have had a positive correlation over the 10 year period, an analysis of the last 3 to 5 year period indicates the change in that relationship, thus reflective of a reducing dependency of these markets on crude oil prices. Of these 4 major indices analyzed, 3 have seen a complete change from the earlier direct correlation.
Wealth Monitor Intelligence interacted with M.R. Raghu, Managing Director, Marmore Mena Intelligence to understand his views on this negative correlation. "In the recent years, the correlation between GCC stock markets and oil prices have moved to a different terrain. GCC markets react negatively to the fall in oil prices but do not react the same way when oil price surges. This could be due to the continuous diversification efforts made by the Governments in steering away the economy from being hydrocarbon dependent. However, the implementation and execution of diversification plans have varied. This could possibly explain the positive correlation in the case of Saudi Arabia during the short-term period," he says
"The degree to which the GCC markets react to crude prices vary depending on the economic structure. In the long term, oil prices have little effect on the stock market movements. However, in the short-to-medium term multiple variables are at play that determine the movement of the markets. Fiscal reserves, whose longevity is determined by oil prices; government expenditure programs, budgetary constraints, effective leadership and efficiency of institutions all influence the market movements. Having said that, the opening up of regional markets and inclusion in international indices does integrate the local markets and makes them sway to global sentiments and capital flows," he adds.
Bassel Khatoun echoes a similar outlook while stating that the MENA markets could continue to see an integration of local indices within the global equity landscape and expects the accession of Tadawul (Saudi Arabia) to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as early as 2017. In summary, it is evident that the fortunes of the regional equity markets are far less dependent on crude oil prices, moving in line with the resolve of the Governments at the helm to reduce economic dependency.
