Will solving Australia's $20B food waste problem end hunger in Australia
The Foodbank Hunger Report 2017 revealed that 3.6 million Australians have experienced food insecurity in the last 12 months, whilst Foodbank's recent Rumbling Tummies report revealed that more than 1 in 5 children in Australia has experienced food insecurity in the last year. Clearly, the food insecurity challenge facing Australia is massive. So too is Australia's food waste problem. Currently costing the economy more than $20 billion per annum and contributing significantly to the nation's greenhouse gas emissions, there is not only a social imperative to solve this problem, but also an economic one. Brianna's session will look at the impact of food relief on children and adults alike, and will also look at the role of all key players along the food supply chain in helping achieve food security in Australia.

Koblenz is notable, among other things, for being situated at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle rivers. It's densely provided with things to see, having hundreds of years of history and the castles to prove it.
The trip is an exchange program, and this year it was Summit's turn to go to Gerrmany, so our group of 37 Austinites went there and lived with host families for the duration. Most of the travellers were groups like mine: a parent and child. A few took two kids and both parents, and these were typically split, living in two different host family homes.
We were lucky enough to be visiting a family we already knew: the Knopp family had visited us last year.
I'm told that the organizers changed the schedule this year to provide more time with the host families. You should know that the organizers plan a trip of some kind every weekday of the tour. So we gather each morning at the school and get on a bus, typically, to go to some new sight. But we were generally done by 3 or 4pm, returning to our host families...who often then had something else planned for us to do. We didn't get a lot of sleep.
Pro tip: this trip is mostly about foot management. You do a ton of walking. The kids hardly seem to notice it, but maybe that's because they're putting less weight on their tootsies.
Chloe stands below a globe hanging in the halls of the Schenkendorf School. I love this thing. I want to make my own.

Seismology can be regarded as the study of earthquakes and seismic waves that move through the surface of the earth. Seismologists study earthquakes and seismic waves.
Recordings of seismic waves documented from earthquakes resulted in the discovery of the earth's core and the layers of Earth. Seismic waves alter their speed and intensity at the boundaries between layers below the Earth's surface.
Three types of seismic waves are generated as a result of earthquakes:
- P (primary) waves
- S (secondary) waves
- Surface waves, which arrive simultaneously at seismic recording stations.
Both P and S waves travel through the interior of the Earth while surface waves do not. Due to this, P and S waves are also known as "body waves". Surface waves are trivial to seismic topographers because they do not penetrate deep inside the Earth, thus providing little information about unapproachable terrain.
Here are some interesting facts about seismic waves
1. They are waves of energy that travel through the Earth, both on the surface and through it
2. As a result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano, low-frequency acoustic energy is recorded
3. Seismic waves are calculated by geophysicists who are known as seismologists
4. Seismic waves are recorded by a seismometer, an accelerometer, and a hydrophone for underwater earthquakes
5. Types of seismic waves are mainly, body wave, surface waves, S waves and P waves
6. Scientists have employed indirect calculation and seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the internal configuration of the Earth
7. Scientists have seismographs set up all over the world to monitor movement of the Earth's crust
8. Surface waves travel along the surface of the earth and are not important for the seismic activities
9. The S and P wave types are the most destructive types during an earthquake
10. Seismic waves are not always detectable by seismometers.

Four Hail Marys
Mary is on her way to the new sandwich shop on Saint Michael's Road, quietly obsessing on the relative merits of coronation chicken versus tuna mayo, when she spots Graham lolloping down the street towards her. At least it looks like him, she can't be certain at this distance, but who else still wears his thinning grey hair hanging loose to his shoulders? He doesn't seem to have noticed her, probably plugged into his MP3 player and off in a time-warp with the Rolling Stones, but she isn't going to hang around to check. She has a moment's grace to backtrack and take refuge in the churchyard.
Once there, however, she feels lost. Foolish. There's nowhere to hide among the flattened gravestones and, if Graham should catch her skulking there, it would be all too obvious she's trying to avoid him. Without stopping to think, she darts up the path to the porch and rattles the door handle.
Amazingly, the church is unlocked. Hard to imagine what kind of service would be going on at a quarter to one on a weekday, but the fact that there is anything is almost enough to restore her faith in God.
Mary creeps inside. It smells of damp and incense, with a parsimonious chill to the air. Three ranks of wooden pews are lined up to face a trio of altars flanked by stone statues stemming from a more elemental age. The gloom is kept at bay by little more than a bank of candles alongside the minor altar on the right, and the borrowed light from the outside world that, filtered through the stained-glass windows, casts watercolour shadows on the flagstone floor. Hugging her coat around her, Mary inches forward.
The meagre congregation kneels a few rows back from the candle-lit altar: a trinity of women with white hair frothed up like meringue. No sign of an officiating priest. Perhaps the women are waiting for the service to begin. Mary slips into a pew in the middle section half a dozen rows further back, to watch, and wait with them.
She doesn't kneel. The wooden bench looks uncomfortable enough. Her stomach rumbles and she promises it she'll only stay a moment. Just long enough to see what happens. Just long enough to ensure Graham is safely out of the way.

this post to try out the packing tape transfers using my drawing of the filling station in Odell, IL on Route 66. I like how it turned out a crisp, crisp image, but I'm going to have to get used to the idea that the edges of the tape do show when the light hits it just right. Right now I'm trying out a different transfer method that would not have the tape layer. I am very pleased with the background here...it's several layers of acrylic paint and spray ink.
I stamped and collaged a bit around the edges using vintage items from the nearby area, and also dictionary pages with travel themed words.

I repeat
Meanwhile, I'm looking:
Head- Marketing Communications/Creative Director/Editor.
Advertising is a tad fluid for my digestive system, so client side preferred. IT/BPO/KPO etc. but I would certainly consider other industries including Retail, Biotech, Hospitality, Banking...
Perhaps it would help if I spelled it out- I write:
ads, brochures, films, websites, EDMs, regular mailers, presentations/demo CDs etc.
Also indulge in SEO/SEM.
My skills are strongly tilted towards e media. Please PM me of anything suitable.

June 6, 2018
It is certainly a track on the calendar Tommy would have been looking forward to after Tommy took a series of wins at the track over the winter, including the English Championship. However, in a grid of 60 drivers you can never predict what is going to happen but Tommy got his weekend off to a good start qualifying in 5th place.
Things continued to get better in the heats with Tommy kicking off proceedings with 3rd in his opening heat. In heat two Tommy gave himself a great chance at a front row start for final one after taking the win ahead of Bradley Barrett picking up the fastest lap of the race along the way.
In what was such a close-run contest throughout the heats Tommy would classify 4th despite being just one point away from pole position!
That led us into final one, but starting on the inside was never going to be easy and Tommy got off to a difficult start dropping to 6th place on the opening lap. The difficulties continued as was edged down to as low as 10th place by lap five leaving Tommy with work to do! On a circuit that is very difficult to overtake on, Tommy did manage to get back up to 7th but then joined a train of karts battling for 3rd where overtaking was almost an impossibility!
So, there was now work to do in final two and that got off to a good start after an incident early in the race saw Tommy go from 6th to 2nd in one lap leaving Charlie Turner now the only driver to pass. Tommy chased down and passed the number five seed in just six laps and from there was able to go on and win the race by one second finally putting an end to the bad luck of his British Championship season.
The championship standings haven't yet been updated but from 11th Tommy should now be on the fringes of the top ten at least!
Fresh from his win in the British Talent Cup Max Cook arrived in Mugello hoping to improve on his 13th place at the Red Bull Rookies season opener in Jerez. With the Italian fans conducting their track invasion each year there would be just one race for the riders on Saturday and one chance to impress. After a successful sim session earlier in the week with us Max got the weekend off the a fantastic start with 6th in practice one.
In practice two Max continued to show his pace but qualifying did not see the same outcome with Max down in 20th after getting caught up in battles and not finding the crucial tow needed to set a good time. That left a lot of work to do in the race, but Max started well and was up to 15th in the first few laps. However, by the time he'd got there the top 14 were down the road fighting with each other and in Max's attempts to bridge the gap he unfortunately fell putting him straight out of the race. It was a huge shame but there were certainly positives to take away from the weekend and in to Assen later this month.
At times, it was as if Luke Whitehead already had one hand on the inaugural O plate but the Croc Promotions driver unfortunately suffered terminal mechanical issues in the final destroying any chances of becoming the first ever Junior X30 British Open Champion. Despite developing problems in the heats Luke still had blistering pace and qualified 3rd for the final before those problems grew and eventually led to a seized engine leaving Luke watching the final from the side-lines for the last seven laps of the race.
Present at Forest Edge Kart Club last weekend were Luke Watts and Vinnie Phillips as they begin preparations for LGM Series in a few weeks time. For Luke it was a pretty decent weekend he picked up a 5th on Saturday with a 9th place on Monday despite qualifying 5th. For Vinnie Saturday saw him pick up a penalty which dropped him down the order in the final but he made up for that on Sunday finishing 7th with the quickest second sector of the race.

Everyone faces conflict on a daily basis. It's almost impossible to avoid it because it can come in many different forms. Conflict doesn't necessarily have to be a big argument with another person, or a physical altercation, but it can easily come in the form of 'What do I wear today?'. Is the latter really a conflict? Ask yourself this, instead, is the latter a problem even in the most insignificant way? The true question I want to ask you today is: Does conflict have its positives apart from its negatives? Is conflict truly a negative thing?
First, let us define what conflict is. I bet you're already conflicted with the definition, so let me offer you one that I've learned. Conflict is "an expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from others in achieving their goals" (Wilmot & Hocker 2007). The definition is self-explanatory, but I'm guessing you're wondering how this relates to the above example of clothing.
Let's rearrange the example into a study to give it some more context.
You wake up every day, do your daily morning routine and now you're wondering what to wear. The question is, "What do I wear today?" and for the sake of simplicity it's for work. You're struggling between two outfits because they both look amazing and you've been wanting to wear them for ages, but you wonder which to wear first. Now, you're conflicted with yourself because you're wondering which would look better, how either would affect you that day, and all sorts of things.
You spend nearly an hour trying to decide on the outfit. You wear one, switch it to the other, but you can't truly decide. So, you ask yourself several more questions and bury yourself into them until you decide to flip a coin because you're taking too long to choose and you're going to be late. You wear your outfit and go about your day.
Unfortunately, you end up second guessing your clothes here and there, but the thought momentarily leaves whenever you're complimented. You wonder if you would've had more compliments or felt better wearing the other outfit. Your day goes on and you go through it feeling all right, but you don't feel settled. So, when you get home, you take off your outfit and change into other clothes, ready to wear your other outfit for the next day.
So, the question of what to wear is a conflict—albeit an intrapersonal one rather than an interpersonal one. You're at odds with yourself and in a way, you can say there are two interdependent parties in yourself. One part of you is cheering for one outfit, the other part for the other outfit. They both want their side to win, but because you have to choose one, they're at odds with each other because their goal is to be chosen for the day.
You're probably wondering, "How in the world does this relate to me? I don't take this long! I don't even choose between outfits!" True, but what if you have new shoes or new ties to wear? The reality is you're conflicted with yourself on what to wear. It may not take an hour, but you're still going against yourself to make a decision. Your decision may manifest questions and thoughts that linger for an entire day, which dictates your mood, such as the above study, but nonetheless, you struggled for a time.
Then, how can any of this be positive? Yes, for the most part, this looks incredibly negative, but there is a silver lining. You most likely asked yourself productive questions throughout the morning and during the day. You could have wondered if the outfit was appropriate for work or wondered if the outfit was good for the type of day. The idea is that you opened yourself up to questions you probably wouldn't have asked yourself if you were able to easily pick the outfit.
That struggle was unnecessary, though! Yet, we need it to inform ourselves for the future. Here is the silver lining: you prepared yourself for choosing what to wear in the future. You prepared yourself on how to choose because you've made an unintentional checklist of what to wear during that one day. It opened you up to other possibilities and other thoughts!
Some people may say that the conflict above produced an unrealistic result, but let me ask you this, "Is it truly unrealistic if it's unintentional and unnoticed?" The result occurred without you realizing it. A result always comes out whether you know it or not. It may not seem positive, but you need to keep in mind that in any kind of conflict, some kind of end (temporary or not) comes about that leads to something bigger.
Remember that there is always a bigger picture at hand.
Let's recap, what is the positive picture that came from the example above? You were in conflict with yourself, yes, however;
- You opened yourself up to other questions and thoughts
- You thought about how your outfit worked for the day
- You questioned your outfit's vibe for the day and situations
- You gave yourself a mental checklist of how to pick an outfit for the future based on certain aspects of the day
- That checklist will save you time when picking an outfit later on
Conflicts come in all shapes and sizes, various forms of degrees, but it really makes you think. It makes you wonder about other related thoughts and ideas and presents you a whole list of things you may not have thought about. Most of the time we're unconscious about what counts as a conflict and that it can be positive but remember the bigger picture. You're in conflict for a bigger reason which will lead to mostly positive results.
Let me know in the comments about what you think about conflict and if you believe it can bring about positive results instead of only negative ones.

TULSA, Okla. - The Oral Roberts men's soccer team has signed eight more players to National Letters of Intent, head coach Ryan Bush announced today. Francesco Cianci, Sameer Fathazada, Giuseppe Granara, Whitney Gonsalves, Brandon Jones, Walter McNeal, Sam Sketers and Omar Urquiza will join the Golden Eagles for the 2017 season.
Bush on the 2017 class:
"First, I want to thank Chris Taylor, Bobby Behrens, Alex McLaurin and Jake Feener for their continual work with this recruiting class," Head Coach Ryan Bush said. "We knew from last year we had a lot to replace and it would be a process. These guys have grinded out countless hours of work to make sure we recruited player's into our soccer family that represent our soccer culture, were good academically, high character kids, excellent soccer players and would be great representatives of ORU as a whole. We knew how important this next group of players would be as far as rounding out our roster. These final players provide much needed depth and players who can come in straight away and make an impact inside the program and inside our conference. I can't say enough about the hard work that has been done by my staff to hand pick this group and find perfect fits for our soccer family and culture."
Francesco Cianci | Camporosso, Italy | High School – Liceo Scientifico
Bush on Francesco Cianci: "Francesco was the final add to the recruiting class and we were fortunate to add a player of his caliber late. He's competed at the highest level in Italy including a stint with Italian National Team. He was being pursued by some of the top Division I schools in the country. We are excited he chose ORU. He's highly versatile and has the ability to play in the back or in the attacking third. He has a great attacking mentality and is highly technical. He will immediately be able to play the brand of soccer we want to produce at ORU."
Sameer Fathazada | Toronto, Ontario | High School – David and Mary Thomson Collegiate
Bush on Sameer Fathazada: "Sammeer is another exciting get for our ORU soccer family. From the moment he stepped on campus I knew he was going to be a great culture player. The thing that impressed us the most with Sameer was his level of humility and the way he carried himself. He's highly disciplined, mature and a focused individual. He's been called into the Canadian national team and been on several professional trials. His level and experience will allow him to compete immediately at the division I level. We see Sameer making an immediate impact inside the attacking third."
Giuseppe Granara | Caguari, Italy | High School – Liceo Scientifico
Bush on Giuseppe Granara: "Guisseppe was impressive from the first moment we spoke to him. He is very good in the classroom and focused in his pursuit of his soccer goals. He was the captain of Cagliari's academy team and has competed at the highest level in Italy. He will compete for playing time on the backline immediately. His experience and playing level speak for them self. We are excited to add his maturity, leadership and commitment to excellence to our soccer family."
Whitney Gonsalves | Tulsa, Okla. | High School – Blue Valley North
Bush on Whitney Gonsalves: "Whitney is an exciting get for ORU. He has great pace and athleticism. He's played with Sporting Development Academy the last year and has developed and matured as a player. Whitney embodies the overall culture of our program and will be a great addition both on and off the field. With his experience he will have the potential to make an immediate impact. Whitney is a highly versatile player who can do several different roles inside the team."
Brandon Jones | Missouri City, Texas | High School - Homeschooled
Bush on Brandon Jones: "Brandon comes from a great soccer pedigree. His mother is the Head Women's Coach at Houston Baptist and his father currently serves as the Head Men's Coach at Houston Baptist. We were honored Brandon and his parents chose ORU as his top choice to compete at the next level. Brandon has impeccable character and is a great culture fit inside our program. From a soccer perspective he's very technical, has very good vision and has excellent soccer IQ. His style of play immediately fits the brand of soccer we try to promote."
Walter McNeal | Sugar Land, Texas | High School – Stephen F. Austin
Bush on Walter McNeal: "Walter is another exciting get for ORU. He will likely come in as a freshman and immediately be the best overall athlete in the program. His ability to take players on in the open field will give him an opportunity to come in and compete straight away. Walter is another high character kid and great culture fit and we believe his best playing days are in front of him. Walter's speed and athleticism makes him highly versatile and can likely play anywhere in the wide part of the field."
Sam Sketers | Olathe, Kansas | High School – St. Thomas Aquinas
Bush on Sam Sketers: "Sam is a big strong athlete. We identified him at our High School ID camp. He had a tremendous work ethic and was very focused during each session. These are attributes of players we have seen develop greatly over the course of 4 years. We are excited about Sam becoming a part of our soccer family. He will be a great culture fit and is a player we see developing very quickly at the collegiate level."
Omar Urquiza | Tulsa, Okla. | High School - Union
Bush on Omar Urquiza: "Omar is highly gifted player. He has incredible feet and the ability to get out of tight situations. He also has good vision and awareness. Currently he's one of the top player's coming out of the state of Oklahoma. Omar is a great kid who will be a great fit inside our soccer culture. His attributes will immediately strengthen our midfield and add much needed depth."

I recently posted a photo on my facebook page of some mini bottles of polish that I made for myself. I enjoyed it so much that I thought it would be amazing to start my own indie polish brand. The start up cost isn't a whole lot, especially since my plan is to sell off of Etsy like a lot of other brands do. If you are interested in purchasing my creations, or just would like to help out, please check out the campaign HERE.
And look out for swatches of the polishes that I made next month!

As a new parent, you might be planning to buy clothes for your little ones. It may seem like an easy task but in reality, it is a little more complex than it appears on the outside. There is a wide range of designs and patterns for your kid available in the market but comfort is the main factor that matters to your child.
Looking particularly into the kind of cloth stuff, you should choose the fabric that is soft and soothing for your baby's skin. While nylon and polyester may look fancy and attractive, they tend to cause discomfort to your kid and therefore, cotton, linen or a combination of both is a better option for your kid's skin. You can also check out Muslim clothing store online to get the stylish and comfortable clothes for your kid.
Closures in clothes and comfort-factor
When you are going to choose a shirt for your baby boy, ensure that it features minimum button closures so that it is easy to wear and remove. Kids feel constricted and claustrophobic with polo necks or tight necklines and also they feel uncomfortable when you remove those round neck t-shirts.
Therefore, it is important to note that the neck area has to have ample space so that your kid feels comfortable. If you want to buy comfortable t-shirts for your baby boy at best price then you can look for baby boy clothing stores online.
Woollen wear
When you are going to buy winter clothes for your kid it is important to invest in a couple of pairs of caps, gloves, mufflers, and socks so that your kid feels warm and cozy. In case of extreme cold, you should buy some sweaters or jackets, as they will provide full coverage. You can also buy thermal wear for your kids; thermal wear is the best option for harsh, cold weather seasons.
Size matters
Since kids undergo rapid growth spurts within a small span of time, it is necessary that the attire fits your kid instead of the other way around. Always choose one size bigger than your kid's current size as such clothes will tend to last longer. You can also click here to get more information about kids clothes shopping.

Celebrate Your Togetherness With Amazing 2 Year Anniversary Ideas
A second year anniversary is very special and you need to plan ahead of time to make it memorable. If you are on the verge of reaching your landmark of celebrating 2nd anniversary, get yourself geared up to celebrate it in a wonderful way.
Indrajit Deshmukh
Last Updated: Mar 2, 2018
If you have spent almost two years with each other, it really is a special occasion and you need to celebrate and cherish the moment. In the past two years you have gone through the ups and downs that every relation goes through, you will know one another's likes and dislikes. An insight into your partners psyche will help you come up with some ideas and romantic gifts real fast.
It is possible to do something memorable even if you have a small budget and not much time to think. A little ingenuity and planning will help you have a day that will remain etched in your memory forever.
Celebrating your anniversary needs careful planning, you don't want to be caught in an awkward situation where you take your partner out on a date to find out that your partner does not like the place. To help you understand, a friend after careful planning and spending a few hard-earned dollars took his girlfriend bungee jumping. The idea was great but he forgot that his girl was afraid of heights and they spent the whole day trying to break the world record for being quiet.
Popular Anniversary Ideas.
Get personalized cotton pillows, towels, bath robes, or handbags made with the three magic words 'I love you' printed in a different language or with each other's names or initials printed on them.
For men, you could also gift a cotton shirt and neckties, and for women, you could go in for cotton dresses or jumpsuits.
There are many restaurants that offer a romantic rooftop dining area with a stunning panoramic view of the city and the night sky; just remember to reserve the seats well in advance.
But if you are adventurous, then pack a picnic table in the boot along with some takeout food and drive away or stroll to the nearest picnic spot to enjoy a romantic evening in each other's arms.
Exotic Vacation
Many people think that you need a big budget to go on an exotic vacation. Well it's true, but a little planning will save you a lot of money and make the trip fit your budget. Call up a few travel agents and bargain hard, many travel agencies offer anniversary discounts; hunt for those.
Book vacation resorts in advance as it will help you get the best rates. Cash in your frequent flier miles to save some travel expenses.
Travel off-season. Choose your destination which has an off-season deal to coincide with your anniversary date. This will save you more on some major chain hotels, get you individualized services and is apt for a budget traveler.
Indulge and spend the entire weekend pampering, relaxing, and leave feeling refreshed and revitalized.
A spa break is definitely the right way to recharge yourself; a little rejuvenation to refuel your inner selves. This will not only provide physical relief from stress but also make the both of you look fresh.
Such boxes for men can be used to keep their expensive watches, cuff links, bracelets, and personalized keys.
These treasure chests come in cedar, silver, marble, leather or wood and are even carved and designed in an elaborate manner. You can purchase these from a local store or even buy them online.
Some More Ideas
If you and your partner love animals, then you could volunteer at a wildlife park by feeding and taking care of animals.
Visit a charitable institute.
Record your voice, singing your partner's favorite love song, and send him/her a personalized voice message along with the song recording.
Gift him/her game tickets or shopping vouchers.
Stay in a castle hotel, for a royal getaway.
Rent a fancy sports or luxury car.
Buy the latest electronic gadgets.
Join a book club or get your partner a lifetime subscription of his/her favorite magazine.
How about an ocean trip? Cruise and enjoy the turquoise beaches of the Bahamas or the Caribbean.
You could visit an adventure park for a thrilling experience, or an amusement park or zoo to be a child again!

I-League 2017: Shillong Lajong's Thangboi Singto - Focus on performance, results will take care of its own
All was not rosy when Shillong Lajong's head coach Thangboi Singto turned up for the pre-match press conference ahead of their round nine I-League encounter with East Bengal in Siliguri.
Singto threw a tantrum when he was instructed to finish off his team's training session two minutes past nine o' clock citing lack of proper scheduling for the twin sessions conducted in two days at the Kanchenjunga Stadium. He even threatened to not attend the press conference but came anyway as he calmed down in time.
The Reds started from Shillong at 6 o' clock on Monday morning as they undertook a road journey to reach Guwahati airport before landing at the Bagdogra airport around noon.
Morgan not here to help Indian team
"We reached the hotel at around 1 o' clock and we had lunch thereafter. After some rest, we reached the ground to start training at 4:30 pm and finished up an hour later," Singto explained.
He further added, "Even today we asked for an evening session but did not get that. We just look for the coaches' and players' concern. I think the timing could have been better. We respect that they have to maintain the ground. If it was at our home, things could have been the same so no problem."
Placed fourth on the table, Singto has named the same starting line-up for the last five games but indicated there might be a couple of changes after their 1-2 loss at home to DSK Shivajians.
"There might be some changes. If you look at the players where they are continuously playing four-five matches there comes a time when they physically might get tired. But every coach wants to stick with the same mantra," he commented.
Bengaluru FC could do an East Bengal 08/09 repeat
East Bengal being undefeated and on top of the table, the former SAI coach conceded that by no means they will be taking the game lightly.
"You look at the goalkeeper, TP Rehenesh is top-class. Their midfielders and foreigners are India internationals and high-quality players. It is a great challenge. Besides that, if you look at their bench, they have the strongest bench in the league"
"East Bengal being on top of the table, it won't be any easy for us. We have to play good football. First we have to focus on performance, hopefully, results will take care of its own. We are always under pressure to perform," he expressed.

The former NorthEast United assistant coach downplayed his team's over-reliance on Cameroonian striker Aser Pierrick Dipanda, who leads the goal-scoring charts with seven goals.
"He (Dipanda) might be the top-scorer in the I-League but we don't want to rely on a single player. Hopefully, other players come up and contribute. If one player performs and others don't then how will you make it as a team," opined Singto.
Lastly, apart from answering questions in English and Bengali, Singto surprised the gathered scribes with an appeal for the local Siliguri-based Nepali speaking people to root for his side. This shocked the entire room as he spoke all three languages fluently, with none being his own mother tongue, which is Manipuri.
"To all the people of Siliguri, I know that many East Bengal supporters will come for the match but we Lajong is also a team from the north-east and Siliguri is the gateway for the north-east. I hope you all come to the ground to support the boys who will put up a good show," he concluded.

How Access Control Benefits Your Business
An access control system is a card-based or software-based security system designed to do just what the name says: allow and control access to certain areas of a building or even a computer. These systems are designed to give companies control over who is allowed in and out of a building, track time that employees work, and protect valuable files on a PC. Modern systems let users have even more control and the ability to change different variables than ever before. Here are some benefits of these systems.
Provides Security
Since an access control system operates based on the user's own personal settings, it can only allow authorized users entry into a building. The main user programs cards assigned for each user and then can also adapt the settings to allow entry for only certain doors or certain sections of a building. The settings can also be changed so that cardholders may only be allowed in during certain hours. If they attempt to get in after or before those hours, they will be denied access. This is an excellent security tool, since the cards are only designated for particular people and since the controls can be set by the system's owner.
Saves Money
If you have a lot of employees, it can be hard to track and manage their time. With access control systems, you can integrate it into your payroll system so that the employees' time starts when they enter the building and ends when they leave. This can be useful for keeping track of which people are coming in to work on time and which ones may have issues with tardiness. This can save you money in the long run since you can't always keep a watchful eye on every single person and when they arrive for work.
Protects Files
Some access control systems also have additional features that can protect your business and its network files. You can password-protect different folders and other parts of your network so that only certain people can open and modify them. You can purchase special keyboards that users must swipe with their cards in order to log into the system. Then, when they want to log out, they must swipe the card again. This helps to identify which users are logged on and which areas of your network they can access. Even more sophisticated versions of these systems use retina scanners. These new developments can make your building and your internal network more secure than ever before.
For more information, contact a company like Guardian Security Solutions access control systems.

text: Affordable Care Act SCOTUS Rules Federal Health Reform Constitutional By Shefali Luthra, Texas Tribune • Jun 28, 2012 Todd Wiseman / Eddie Codel, Texas Tribune The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, President Obama's signature health care legislation, is constitutional — including the individual mandate that forces Americans to carry health insurance, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday. The decision has far-reaching implications for Texas, where leaders have ardently opposed "Obamacare" even though the state has the country's highest percent of uninsured residents. In addition to requiring all citizens to purchase health insurance, the law dramatically expands Medicaid, which already makes up close to a quarter of Texas' state budget. SCOTUS Health Care Ruling Today? By Wells Dunbar • Jun 28, 2012 Excuse us if we sound like a broken record, but the Supreme Court is expected to rule on the Affordable Care Act today. NPR's health blog Shots has a quick primer on the issues at stake in the decision. Read The Tea Leaves, But Justices (And Their Clerks) Aren't Telling Several dozen people know how the Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of President Obama's health care law. And it'll stay that way until sometime after 10 a.m. ET on Thursday, when the court releases its opinion to the rest of us. The decision will have broad societal, economic and legal ramifications, and will play a featured role in the November presidential election. But the justices and their young law clerks — the only ones privy to the deliberations — don't leak opinions. It's virtually unheard of. If Health Law Falls, Coverage For Young Adults Gets Tricky By Julie Rovner, NPR • Jun 22, 2012 When it comes to health care, even the seemingly easy things become hard. Take coverage for young adults under the Affordable Care Act. Supreme Court Punts on Health Care Decision By Wells Dunbar, Texas Standard • Jun 21, 2012 flickr.com/envios Despite wide speculation the U.S. Supreme Court would decide on the constitutionality of President Obama's signature health care law today, no ruling was forthcoming this morning. Instead, the high court issued decisions on four other cases, which you can find on the Supreme Court website. AM Update: Health Care Decision Expected, New Education Website, 'Police Games' in Austin By Sam J. Ellison & Wells Dunbar, Texas Standard • Jun 21, 2012 KUT News Supreme Court Health Care Decision Expected The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act possibly as soon as today. The controversial law is the Obama administration's most touted accomplishment. President Obama calls it "the most important piece of social policy since the Social Security Act in the 1930s, and the most important reform of our health care system since Medicare passed in the 1960s." Survey: Insiders Think Supreme Court Will Strike Health Care Mandate A new survey of 38 former clerks of current Supreme Court justices and 18 attorneys who have argued cases before the high court found that most of them think the court will rule that the individual mandate is unconstitutional. The mandate is the centerpiece of the Obama administration's signature health care law and it is unknown whether the law can survive without that piece. Health Care Law Grant Helping Austin Clinic Expand By Laura Rice • Jun 20, 2012 People's Community Clinic An Austin health clinic is getting $650,000 from the federal government as part of the Obama Administration's health care overhaul. People's Community Clinic is one of more than 200 clinics nationwide to receive money. People's Community Clinic is using the money to expand access for patients by creating more clinic space. "Every day there are people who call who would like appointments who we can't see. And so this is an opportunity to make sure that we have more capacity to meet more of the needs in our community," said Regina Rogoff, People's Community Clinic CEO. Senators Ask Supreme Court To Televise Health Care Decision Two members of the Senate's Judiciary Committee are asking the Supreme Court to provide live coverage of its proceedings when it hands down its decision on the constitutionality of the 2010 health care law. Insurers Wait For Verdict On Health Care Law And Their Bottom Line By Julie Rovner, NPR • Jun 15, 2012 All eyes these days are trained on the U.S. Supreme Court, which is expected to rule sometime this month on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. But some people are waiting more anxiously for the court to rule than others. Among them are those with a major financial stake in whether the law goes forward or not and if so, in what form. Group Says Review of Health Insurance Hikes is Just What the Doctor Ordered By Olivia Gordon • May 31, 2012 Photo by Wells Dunbar for KUT News President Obama's signature healthcare reforms calls for an automatic review of any increase in health insurance costs ten percent or higher. But an organization promoting better health care access across Texas says the agency in charge of monitoring and reviewing these hikes isn't doing its job. The Texas Department of Insurance is responsible for determining whether or not price increases for insurance premiums are justified. This is supposed to help protect consumers from overpaying for insurance. White House Aide To Skeptical Journalists: No Contingency Plan On Health Law By Frank James, NPR • Mar 29, 2012 No matter how many times he said it Wednesday, the White House press corps just didn't seem to be buying deputy press secretary Josh Earnest's assertion that Obama administration officials weren't working on contingency plans just in case the Supreme Court strikes down the Affordable Care Act. They also weren't taking at face value Earnest's defense of Solicitor General Donald Verrilli's performance on behalf of the administration Tuesday which has been widely criticized as nervous, halting and all-around less-than-inspiring. Medicaid Expansion Caps Supreme Court Arguments The last argument on the Affordable Care Act before the Supreme Court could have consequences far beyond health care. The key issue is whether the health law's expansion of the Medicaid program for the poor unfairly compels the participation of states. Many considered this to be the weakest part of the states' challenge to the health law, and during Wednesday afternoon's arguments, that seemed to be the case. Timeline: The Supreme Court, the Affordable Care Act and Texas By Wells Dunbar, Texas Standard • Mar 28, 2012 Photo courtesy wallyg, flickr.com/70323761@N00 The U.S. Supreme Court's consideration of the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama's set of signature health care reforms, has broad implications for the nation and Texas. This morning's hearing on the reforms' effects has Texas ties. State Attorney General Greg Abbott has argued the national expansion of Medicaid coerces states into compliance, an issue the court is taking up today. KUT News' reporting partner, The Texas Tribune, has created a Storify timeline detailing how yesterday's discussion of the constitutionality of an individual insurance mandate – which was widely seen as critical of the requirement – reverberated in Texas. Supreme Court's Medicaid Decision Could Reach Far Beyond Health Care By Julie Rovner, NPR • Mar 28, 2012 After Tuesday's judicial fireworks, the Supreme Court wraps up arguments on the new health care law Wednesday by focusing on two questions. The first involves what would happen if the "individual mandate" — the core of the law that requires most people to have health insurance — is struck down. Would the rest of the law fall, too, or could some provisions stay? At Supreme Court: Health Care Ruling Still Too Close To Call? By Mark Memmott, NPR • Mar 27, 2012 Here's some of the early word about today's Supreme Court hearing on the constitutionality of the nation's new health care overhaul law: -- Five Justices Were Tough: Five members of the court "beat him up pretty hard," NPR's Nina Totenberg says of how the justices treated the counsel representing the government. But she also says, "I don't think you can call this," when asked about whether the court will or won't strike down the so-called individual mandate in the law. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy "seem to be in play," Nina reports. Justices Tackle The Big Question: Can Congress Force You To Buy Insurance? By Nina Totenberg, NPR • Mar 27, 2012 The U.S. Supreme Court gets to the heart of the health care arguments Tuesday. Almost exactly two years after Congress passed the Obama health care overhaul, the justices are hearing legal arguments testing the constitutionality of the so-called health care mandate — so-called because those words actually do not appear in the law. Justices Seem Intent To Get To The Heart Of The Health Care Law Does a federal law stretching back to 1867 bar the Supreme Court from deciding on the merits of the administration's health law right now? The court on Monday heard the first arguments in a historic three-day session that could decide the fate of the Obama administration's signature domestic achievement. 4 Questions That Could Make Or Break The Health Care Law By Nina Totenberg, NPR • Mar 26, 2012 It's the hottest ticket in Washington, D.C. Even the flossiest lawyers in town can't get a seat. Senators, congressmen, Cabinet and White House officials are all vying for a place. At the U.S. Supreme Court, people have been lining up for days, waiting to hear this week's historic oral arguments on President Obama's health care law. The arguments will last for six hours over a three-day period, the longest argument in more than 40 years. New Republic: The Case Of The Century? Jonathan Cohn is senior editor at The New Republic. Next week the Supreme Court hears oral arguments in the lawsuits challenging the Affordable Care Act. But is it really the "case of the century," as pundits have started calling it? AM Update: AISD Budget Talks, Health Reform Hits Texas House, Advances in Nerve Repair By Lucia Duncan • Feb 27, 2012 KUT News Austin ISD's Preliminary Budget for 2012-2013 At tonight's Austin ISD School Board meeting, administrators will present a 2012-13 preliminary budget that increases spending slightly while assuming the district will lose $8.7 million in federal money and $53.6 million in state funding. The Austin-American Statesman reports: The preliminary $724 million spending plan increases expenses 2.9 percent over the current budget and holds the property tax rate steady at $1.242 per $100 of valuation. It includes $14.2 million for an across-the-board 3 percent pay raise and $1.1 million to jump start an early childhood center at Linder Elementary School in Southeast Austin, among other goals. To hit those targets, budget officials say the district plans to dip into reserves for $32.5 million. Austin ISD will present a revised budget on April 16th and a public hearing is scheduled for April 23rd. The board will vote on the budget on June 18th. Health & Human Services Tells Texas Insurers to Pay Up By Wells Dunbar, Texas Standard • Jan 27, 2012 flickr.com/trp0 Under a federal determination released today, insurers in Texas will have to abide by spending rules set forth in President Obama's signature health care reform package. One of the provisions in the Affordable Care Act stipulates that insurers must spend 80% of customers' premium dollars on medical care, and not overhead costs. Any overhead spending over 20%, and insurance companies would be required to issue rebates to their customers. That said, states can apply for an adjustment of to increase the amount they spend on overhead. The Texas Department of Insurance applied to do just that, requesting to ramp up medical care spending more slowly: 71% for (current) reporting year 2011, 74% for 2012, and 77% for 2013. Supreme Court To Decide Constitutionality Of Health Law By Julie Rovner, NPR • Nov 14, 2011 Who didn't see this coming? The Supreme Court has added a case challenging the constitutionality of the provision of last year's health overhaul requiring nearly every American to have health insurance beginning in the year 2014 to the list of cases it will hear this term. 1st Birthday for Federal Healthcare Bill By Ben Philpott, KUT • Mar 21, 2011 Photo by KUT News O.K. We're actually a couple of days early, since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law on March 23, 2010. But advocacy groups have been celebrating/commiserating the anniversary for the last week…so we thought we'd give you a sampling of what's already out there. Political parties are saying pretty much what each has been saying over the last year. Democtrats seem to be keeping quite so far... but those on the "Right" are vocal about their displeasure. Texas AG Happy That Federal Judge In Virginia Ruled Health Law Unconstitutional By Nathan Bernier • Dec 13, 2010 Image courtesy lambdachialpha http://www.flickr.com/photos/lambdachialpha/ Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is applauding a ruling from a federal district court judge in Virginia that invalidates a key provisions of the new health law. State Rep. Berman Wants To Jail Bureaucrats Who Enforce New Health Law By Nathan Bernier • Dec 10, 2010 Still Burning/flickr The same Texas state representative whose interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper went viral after he expressed doubt that President Obama was born in the US is attracting more attention for his proposal that health care officials be imprisoned for enforcing the new health care law.

Taylor Chelsea (a.k.a. PottyMouth) has decided to continue her attacks on me. It's funny really, because I've never met her, and she has never met me. But, for some reason, about a week ago, she decided to come here and start yelling swear words and insults at me! There's something really wrong with her- because, it just doesn't make sense…
I was in the middle of writing a response on the Occupy Toronto facebook page about some of PottyMouth's new slanderous attacks just now, and found out that I had been blocked. This, despite I've never written a single objectionable thing. So, why did this happen? Looks like I've been bullied out of it. Have a look:

It confounded me that someone like Dave, who has worked his whole life pursuing social and ecological justice would have made the accusations he did.

War Horse
Steven Spielberg directed this drama about a horse that experiences many challenges through several owners throughout Europe just prior to and during the first World War. Can this horse rise to the occasions and save the day? Hmm, what do you think??
I must say I don't really understand who the target audience is here. For the first third, it seemed like a live action Disney film geared towards kids. But once the war gets under way, it no longer seems appropriate for children. So I suppose it's for adult lovers of all things equine? Admittedly I don't really get any of the plethora of horse movies that have been made. Personally, I prefer my protagonists to be adult humans. Of course, I can appreciate that Spielberg knows how to make a technically good film. The shots are nice to look at, the actors are all on the same page and give good performances (although no one particularly stands out, with the possible exception of David Thewlis and Benedict Cumberbatch, both of whom seem to pop up everywhere I look these days), and the orchestral score by John Williams is the best thing about it, appropriately sweeping and triumphant when warranted. But the bottom line here is the film is cliched and dull. And that's perhaps the worst film sin of all. I'd be more generous if the running time were 100 minutes rather than the overindulgent two and a half hours. At that length you better deliver something really compelling and not just 'Black Beauty' meets 'Forrest Gump'. (Though my colleagues in the Broadcast Film Critics Association nominated it as one of the Best Pictures of 2011. That perplexes me.)
Grade: C+

The film reminds me of one that would have been made in the 30's. It would be considered a classic and we would watch it today and say it was good but not worth all of the hype.ReplyDelete
I first saw Benedict Cumberbatch in a good film called Starter for 10 with James McAvoy and Rebacca Hall.
Synchronicity, I just watched Starter for 10 on Thursday. Can't tell if it was good, or I'd just like any movie set in nostalgic Thatcher England, with mood music by The Cure and The Smiths, about University Challenge, with one love interest a haughty Deb and the other a constant wearer of hats.ReplyDelete
I love a dialogue of cinephiles on the blog! I hope to see more of that in 2012.ReplyDelete
