John Mitchell grew up on his family farm in Tooma NSW, high in the Snowy Mountain country. Growing up in a small community and being an active young sportsman, John found himself involved in many of the local sporting events, including Pony Club, a place where he gained his foundation and love of riding. It wasn't long, before horses became an everyday part of John's life whether it was competing in the local Pony Club competition or mustering cattle and sheep on his family farm.
Like most young, keen boys, John's passion didn't stop with horses. He had a love for a variety of ball sports, Aussie Rules football in particular. John spent all of his youth chasing his dream of becoming a successful football player, a dream which led him to Brisbane to pursue a career on the sporting field.
His dream realised, John was soon able to return home when he cemented a paid position in the Ovens and Murray Football League with the Albury Tigers.
Ten years on, John remains a Tiger and continues to play with the club.
It was evident from an early age being second best was never an option for John. He knew that to be the best, he had to learn from the best and have the best horses under him. This lead him and his mate Morgan Webb up north to join Ben Halls contract mustering Team in 2012 and also where he would meet his now wife, Stacey. It was this move that paved Johns path into the team of horses he has today.
Breaking in horses was a part of the contract with Ben which would come a life changing moment for John as among the breakers was an eye catching Conman colt, Halls Chickenman. It only took one ride for John to know that he wanted him. "From day dot I knew he was something special". John was able to purchase Chickenman off Ben and continue on with his education.
Steady mustering as a 3 yo was the next program and the following October John and Halls Chickenman had their first outing at the Battle on the Bidgee. This would normally be a big challenge for a young horse, but John declares that with Chickenmans calm mind and natural ability, he was always going to be ready to compete. The pair came home with the win and launched Chickenman's name into the Challenge scene.
The Campdraft arena followed with a win in the Maiden at Holbrook the following April.
Chickenman has continued on to accumulate a serious list of Stockman Challenge wins including 3 back to back Man from Snowy River Titles, 2 Battles on the Bidgee titles, 5 saddles plus multiple runner up placings. All attributed to his great mind and natural ability.
Meanwhile his Campdraft performances are also gaining attention with his unique low travelling style which demonstrates his ability to run a cow and his great attitude as John continually rides him on a loose rein with no pressure. His runoff in the Novice at the ACA finals and his Runner Up Title in the Stallion Shootout at Landmark 2018 propelled him into the elite ranks and showed just how big his heart is.

Cannes is the town in France where Bergman meets bikinis, and the art of filmmaking meets the art of the deal. In 1975, a group of expat Kiwis managed to score interviews with some of the festival's emerging talents, indulging their own cinematic dreams in the process. Werner Herzog waxes lyrical on the trials and scars of directing; a boyish Steven Spielberg recalls the challenges of framing shots during Jaws; Martin Scorsese and Dustin Hoffman talk a gallon. Six years later interviewer Michael Heath's debut script The Scarecrow would be invited to Cannes.
The lyrics to Greg Johnson's 'Looking out on Monday' pay tribute to the satisfaction of sleeping in, and skiving off work; they also mention recognising that "failure is in your lover's eyes". Johnson's long time musical collaborator Ted Brown appears in the video as the friend who pops over to Greg's place (in Los Angeles?) to say hello. 'Looking Out on Monday' is taken from 2008's Seven Day Cure, which NZ Herald critic Russell Baillie called "one of the most fully realised Johnson albums yet". The track was included in Dustin Hoffman / Emma Thompson romance Last Chance Harvey.
The movie that won splatter king Peter Jackson mainstream respectability was born from writer Fran Walsh's long interest in the Parker-Hulme case: two 1950s teens who invented imaginary worlds, wrote under imaginary personas, and murdered Pauline Parker's mother. Jackson and Walsh's vision of friendship, creativity and tragedy was greeted with Oscar nominations, deals with indie company Miramax, and rhapsodic acclaim for the film, and newbie actors Melanie Lynskey and Kate Winslet. Time magazine and 30 other publications named it one of the year's 10 best films.
This two-part mini-series is set in an 80s 'New Auckland' world of mirror glass and murderous corporate conspiracy. British actor James Faulkner (latterly Bridget Jones' Uncle Geoffrey) plays a shady developer with a smash and burn approach to urban planning. Blocking his utopian waterfront scheme is a cafe. The inheritors of the greasy spoon — and a racehorse — are a duo of feisty femmes: working class Tammy (Annie Whittle), and art consultant Joanna (Miranda Harcourt). The Shadow Trader marked an early producing credit for Finola Dwyer (An Education).
Finola Dwyer, ONZM, began as an editor. After cutting Country Calendar and movie Trial Run, she was encouraged by Larry Parr to become a producer. Three films and a number of TV programmes later, Dwyer began her producing career anew in London in the early 90s. Her work in England stretches from acclaimed Beatles feature Backbeat to Oscar-nominated dramas An Education and Brooklyn.

Could not have asked for a better experience. We went to AG to celebrate my husband's birthday, and everyone was incredibly involved in wishing him a happy birthday. We were seated immediately and our waiter was so attentive. The food exceeded all expectations; the steak was so tender and melt in your mouth delicious. Everything came out in a timely manor and they ended the night with a delicious peach birthday dessert. I have already recommended this place to anyone that will listen. We will be back.
Our food was great, location was in the Ritz-Carlton in Atl. We ordered the nightly special, Tomahawk steak, bottle of wine, two sides and a baked Alaska. Food was great and so where our sides. Our server was very nice but our issue was it took 30 minutes to get our bottle of wine. And then it came right with our meal. We even asked about it twice and where told it was coming up from the wine cellar. We where not in a hurry but would have liked to enjoy the wine before dinner. This was my only complaint as the steak was great. My recommendation is if your offering a nightly special it's a good idea to keep the wine close by. The restaurant was not busy at all but it was Thanksgiving weekend and Alabama was playing Auburn. I would return as food was great and the staff was friendly.
Worth the price!! I would definitely go there again when I'm in town. My service was fast and accurate.
Terrible 'rushed' service. Extremely salty food. So much salt on the asparagus that it no longer tasted like asparagus. I want my $320 back:(
Love this place ! Great for date night
Disappointing for the price and reputation. Although the hostess was very good and engaging and made a good first impression, the remainder of the service was just average and the food was not that interesting.
Wonderful! Food was great and Timothy was an excellent waiter!
Excellent all around. Matt is amazing. Perfect experience!
Great location for lunch while at the Capitol. Staff attentive.
The food and ambiance were very good, but our waiter never mentioned the price of our margaritas. $144 for two margaritas is ridiculous regardless if you're at the Ritz or somewhere else.
Was so cold we had to wear our coats. And so dark could not see menus or food. Appeared to be nicer dining room but we were seated in a very dark portion of bar.
Service great food v good but not what we expected for ambience and comfort.
We came during brunch, but they accommodated for items outside of the menu. Tom was an excellent server, and our experience was overall very good. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent atmosphere for a great meal. Service was exquisite. Food was outstanding.
Great experience!
Service and food was excellent. Continue to highly recommend for a business lunch spot.
Our waiter Philip was amazing, his reccomendations on deserts were spot on. Will absolutely come back to AG and Philip next time.
Wine was great. Nice locator late dinner downtown. Enjoyed the food and service.
The whole experience was amazing from beginning to end! My husband and I joked about us having our own tomahawk steak but still was delicious and a great experience. We will definitely return!
We love this place......but were a little disappointed in the service.................had to actually ask for the biscuits...............expensive bottle of wine sat on the table and was not poured............BUT the steaks are a 10! Will definitely continue to visit while in Atlanta.
Always great food. Always mediocre service.
A little noisy for us. Food was very nice and well prepared. Service was VERY Nice. Steak was VERY good. I had the halibut. It was not cooked as well as I would have liked. It was not bad, just not as good as the steak was.
Loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Looking forward to my next visit!
The Tomahawk was delicious and they brought an amazing peach cobbler for my boyfriends birthday dessert. I didn't even have to ask. They saw the note on the reservation. It was amazing!
Amazing service and attention ! Matt was out of this world
Took way too long to get the check.
Celebrated wife's birthday and was given a private booth at no charge. The staff was very friendly, the ambience was quaint and the food was excellent!! I recommend the grilled octopus and the home made seafood fettuccine..BRAVO!!!
The staff was incredibly friendly and I enjoyed the quality of the food. I will definitely go back!
Great high quality well located hotel. Eating outside on the balcony is a real bonus. The food is good as well as the service. Recommended
5 Star service and ambiance. I had the ribeye and macaroni and cheese. It was delicious and perfectly cooked.
Great service! Excellent food! Prices are a bit high but the steaks are worth it.
We had breakfast on the balcony overlooking the street. The food was fabulous; perfectly cooked and the waitstaff was exceptional.
The Sommelier was fabulous. We are vintners and had a great appreciation for the wine he blended just for the restaurant. Fabulous experience!
We ate brunch on Labor Day after a long convention weekend. We were won out and needed an easy meal. The service was attentive and we felt well cared for. The food was tasty and we ate a bit of everything! Brunch at this restaurant will definitely become a yearly event at the end of the convention!
Lunch stead was disappointing. Fries were perfect.
Steaks and biscuits were great. Everything else terrible - even things hard to mess up like bok choy and parmesan fries and shrimp cocktail. Oysters inedible. Service was weird and haphazard. Comically overpriced.
Wonderful food and service. First Class all the way
Expensive but you knew that going into dinner. Good tastes, great service.
The food was excellent everything was fresh and prepared beautifully. The service was outstanding and the restaurant is very elegant and classy without being stuffy. Would definitely go back again
Everything was great, we got the specials and a prime steak. Couldn't have been better. Our waiter was attentive, personable and informative. Shame on me for not noting his name.
Johan was awesome. He made sure we were taken care of. He made our 30th Anniversary very special. The staff of managers came back to check on us several times. They food is awesome.
Very nice service

MARS Pavilion experiments with robotic construction
The resulting MARS Pavilion prototype—including an exhibition and video of the design process—is currently on view at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum in the Los Angeles Arts District. The pavilion will be up through Saturday, October 7 and has been sponsored by CTS Cement and Helix Steel.Besides acquiring The Washington Post and Whole Foods, Jeff Bezos owns Blue Origin, a space exploration company that is intended to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX. The Blue Origin company motto is "Gradatim Ferociter," Latin for "Step by Step, Ferociously." This motto might also apply to the work of Sarafian and Culver. The MARS Pavilion by their firm Form Found Design (FFD) is the first robotically-cast concrete pavilion in the world. While it is intriguing to look at, what is more important than its image is its method of design and construction. The MARS Pavilion consists of 70 unique, robotically-cast "wishbone" shaped components that are all bolted together with an identical steel connection detail. Using the robotic precision of large ABB industrial robots, they achieved a tolerance of 1/16 inch. This is extraordinary in concrete construction, where the usual level of tolerance is ¼ inch—It's an improvement of 400%. All the MARS Pavilion forms are derived from concrete's most inherent quality, compression. Walter P. Moore performed a structural engineering analysis and recommended one-inch "Helix Steel" twisted fibers for reinforcement rather than traditional re-bar. This provides greater flexibility. The goal is to allow for the precision fabrication of a wide range of design components at low cost. Ron Culver described their approach as "a true digital workflow where previously unbuildable complex geometry is now feasible." In downtown Los Angeles, for example, Diller Scofidio + Renfro designed the Broad Museum proposing many unique concrete forms. Due to cost constraints, the design had to be simplified so that only the oculus (a curved opening at the front of the building) survived the value engineering and cost-cutting process. FFD believe their approach will allow design variation in concrete with no additional cost. FFD envisions many future applications including creating economical housing solutions for developing nations. Sarafian explained, "We are interested in exploring this fabrication technique to create an easy-to-assemble housing prototype for developing countries." The MARS Pavilion installation is on view through October 7th at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum, 900 E 4th St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, tickets are available for the closing reception here.

Craft collaborations elevate Thakoon's flagship Soho store by SHoP Architects
Like an architect, fashion designer Thakoon Panichgul carefully balances contemporary and historical influences. His eponymous brand has won him fans from Michelle Obama to Target, but when it came time to build a brick-and-mortar store, Panichgul and New York–based SHoP faced a more complex balancing act. They wanted to carefully devise an interior that would reflect its Soho surroundings and the Thakoon aesthetic, all while grabbing the attention of passersby and setting itself apart from competitors.
"Thakoon was really interested in making [the store] of its place, of New York, bringing in the grit of the city," said Coren Sharples, principal at SHoP. Concrete with dark aggregate covers the floors, and the architects tapped Brooklyn-based Fernando Mastrangelo Studio to cast multiple concrete walls throughout the store. Mastrangelo reproduced the subtle gradients of his furniture on an architectural scale, pouring multiple layers of gray-hued concrete in a single casting. "This was crazy, it was done on site," said Sharples. "This was formed up and poured. Really a little scary, but [Mastrangelo] was amazing."
Wood was also an important part of Panichgul's vision—the designer had prepared a mood board with several wood treatments that figured prominently in other fashion brands' aesthetics. These ranged from light treatments with vernacular ornamentation (what he called "American Traditional") to richly grained and darkly stained ("American Glam"). SHoP and Panichgul ultimately chose an unfinished white oak ("American Cool"), a look that left the wood in its raw, natural state. White oak surfaces sinuously undulate along the showroom's walls even as they retain a dry, coarse texture. The architects and client also worked closely with Brooklyn-based furniture maker Vonnegut/Kraft on the store's wood furniture: Connection details, leather seating, and each edge and taper went through multiple iterations before landing on a design that features simple woven-leather straps. Vonnegut/Kraft's pieces stand in the main showroom and hug the curves of each dressing room.
Extra seating is provided by travertine blocks that were CNC-milled in Italy to 3-D models provided by SHoP. Panichgul tapped London-based designer Michael Anastassiades for the principal lighting features: simple orbs with brass detailing. Brass is also used for the store's clothing rods and the towering sculptural display rack that stands prominently in the main showroom.
Taken all together, the materials find ways to somehow be both angular and curved, smooth and gritty, even as their neutral tones give the clothing center stage. "We wanted it to be infused with material sensibility and warmth, but at the same time, it's always this line you walk because you don't want to overpower or dictate," said Sharples.

"Modern day Machu Picchu" wins RIBA's first International Prize
Lauded as a "modern day Machu Picchu" by judges, Irish firm Grafton Architects has won the inaugural RIBA International Prize for their Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología (University of Engineering and Technology, known as "UTEC") building in Peru. The Dublin-based practice saw off competition from Zaha Hadid Architects, Foster+Partners, David Chipperfield, Nicholas Grimshaw, Shigeru Ban, and this year's RIBA Stirling Prize winner Caruso St John.
"Grafton Architects have created an innovative new model for a university campus that is highly responsive to its local environment and community," said RIBA president Jane Duncan. "The concept of a 'vertical campus' defies convention, as does the mix of open and enclosed spaces, but both are key to the success of this building visually and spatially."
The Dublin firm worked alongside local studio Shell Arquitectos on the design for UTEC, which echoes South American brutalist vernacular and the dramatic topography of the site. Contrary to its external aesthetic, the building is home to a myriad of open and visually connected spaces (especially circulatory ones) that work in tandem with the site's climate. In fact, the only closed spaces are classrooms, offices, laboratories, lecture theaters, seminar rooms, and toilets. As a result, campus social life can take place in the open air, encased by terracing yet on display to those passing through. UTEC officially opened in April 2015 and, according to RIBA, it is the "culmination of years of spatial and formal experimentation by Grafton Architects."
RIBA's "International Prize" is the first from the architectural body that is open to any qualified architect in the world. This year's jury saw esteemed architects Richard Rogers and Kunlé Adeyemi form a five member strong judging panel. According to RIBA, the new prize is "awarded to the most transformative building of the year which demonstrates visionary, innovative thinking, excellence of execution, and makes a distinct contribution to its users and to its physical context."
UTEC was selected as the winner of the 2016 RIBA International Prize from the following outstanding shortlisted entries:
- Arquipelago Contemporary Arts Centre, Menos é Mais, Arquitectos Associados with João Mendes Ribeiro Arquitecto, Lda
- Heydar Aliyev Centre, Zaha Hadid Architects with DiA Holding
- Museo Jumex, David Chipperfield Architects with Taller Abierto de Arquitectura y Urbanismo (TAAU)
- Stormen Concert Hall, Theatre and Public Library, DRDH Architects
- The Ring of Remembrance, International WWI Memorial of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Agence d'architecture Philippe Prost (AAPP)
The awarding jury also made the following (collective) comments:
Sitting on the border of two residential districts in Lima, in section UTEC perches tantalizingly on the edge of a ravine. Seen from across the ravine it is as bold and as pure a statement of the symbiosis between architecture and engineering as could be imagined; a piece of geology imposed on its pivotal site, mirroring the organic curve of the landscape and accommodating itself in the city. To its close neighbours, it is a series of landscaped terraces with clefts, overhangs and grottos, a modern day Machu Picchu. UTEC has been designed to encourage its students to interact in a unique way with the building. The vertical structure provides open circulation and meeting spaces in a succession of platforms that compose the 'frame' of the building; teaching rooms, laboratories and offices are enclosed, inserted into and suspended from the exposed concrete structure. The frame is a device providing shade, a place of rich spatial exuberance and a platform from which to view the life of the city. The entire life of this vertical campus is on full display to the people of Lima. UTEC is the culmination of years of experimentation by Grafton Architects. In this building they show the mastery of their craft, gifting Lima with a bold yet considerate contribution to the city and a visionary, world-class building.
SITU Studio crafts unique, textural concrete panels for One John Street in Brooklyn Bridge Park
From the glass-encased lobby of One John Street, residents will be able to take in some incredible views: The 12-story, 42-unit condominium is located on the eastern end of Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the Manhattan Bridge soars over the East River just a stone's throw away. In fact, Alloy, the building's architects and co-developers with Monadnock Development, scaled up the windows and the floors to combat the increased noise pollution and solar exposure. But Alloy wanted more than just a glass box on the East River, so it tapped Brooklyn-based SITU Studio. "They came to us to create these sculptural panels that wrap around the structural core of the building," said SITU Studio partner Wes Rozen.
SITU Studio, the firm behind the new Brooklyn Museum entrance, the NYSCI Design Lab, and the Heartwalk in Times Square, has a heavy emphasis on fabrication and material experimentation in their practice. For this project, the creative process began with a building being torn down: The Tod Williams and Billie Tsien–designed American Folk Art Museum. "We [SITU and Alloy] both were sad to see [the museum] go," said Rozen. "So that was an inspiration for what we were trying to achieve, just in terms of the texture in the concrete. From there, we began by looking at various things we could cast to get texture: different types of plastics, fabrics, things that we could put underneath or on top of the fabric, to create different patterns and textures. We wanted something organic."
SITU Studio undertook several months of experimentation in a rented space in the Brooklyn Navy Yard (its other fabrication spaces were at capacity). Early on, the firm challenged itself to create panels where the artists' hands weren't too visible: "We wanted a texture that seemed like it could've been just found in nature," said Rosen. "We wanted to author the process, but the materials themselves would be given the freedom to do what they wanted." Eric Weil of Oso Industries, a Brooklyn-based studio whose specialties include concrete installations, consulted and assisted during the fabrication process.
The team found their wabi sabi sweet spot with a mixture of salt and beeswax. For each panel, SITU Studio stretched acetate over a sheet of crumpled paper on a table; this surface created a gently irregular topography to cast against. After encasing the acetate on four sides with a one-inch-deep casting formwork, they poured pools of melted beeswax on the acetate, along with pellets of beeswax and salt granules to achieve a fine texture. SITU Studio then poured on concrete (colored with black pigment) that was further reinforced by mixed in loose fiberglass, and a carbon-fiber mesh overlay.
Once dried for three days, the panels were heated inside a custom-made oven that could angle upward. "The reason why the oven lifts is so that, as the wax is heated and melts out of the panels, it stains these vertical lines, little drip lines, into the concrete, which is something we were excited about as a subtle feature," said Rozen. After that, the wax and salt could be easily dissolved or washed out.
The end result looks like it's been pulled from a blast furnace or a foundry wall: "In the right light, the panels look almost metallic where the concrete has cured against the acetate," Rosen said. Other parts of the surface are cratered and pockmarked like a lunar surface. In total, 63 panels from 17 to 11.5 feet tall (all two feet wide) stand in the lobby facing John Street and within the stairs around the core. They will also be visible from the street when the building opens this summer.

#party snacks
Okay these nachos aren't any nachos. Not the "lazy" open the bag and dunk in some salsa. Nope these are restaurant quality, mouth watering nachos that you can make in under 10mins at home. Seriously. They are addicting and so delicious. You can make these just for you for a late night snack, or any gathering. Here's a quick recipe for some late night nachos. Topping's you can change up to your liking!
~ Half bag of Tositios Restaurant Style Nachos
~ few chopped jalapeño peppers - I say a few because I use the re-cut sliced peppers and then I slice them up into small cubes.
~ 1/4 cup quartered grape tomatoes
~ 1/4 cup red, yellow, or green pepper- either one tastes great... whatever you got or prefer.
~ 2
cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar blend cheese
~ If you like meat on your nachos, go ahead and place! I don't put meat on mine, so I didn't include in this recipe.
Prepare on the side a few bowls/plates. One for salsa and the other for sour cream. These are for dunking the nachos in!
How to make:
~ Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C). Get a flat baking pan and over with tin foil. place the nachos on the tin foil. Next place all your toppings on the nachos. Cheese first, then the veggies next. (I don't put meat on my nachos, but if you do, place on nachos with the veggies).
~Bake for 5-10mins - or until your cheese is melted to your liking! I find that happens between the baking time above.
~ Take out of oven and serve on a platter or keep on the baking pan! Enjoy it with your sides of salsa and sour cream!
Cake in a cup
Now this is one of my favourites. Its so fast and delicious, especially if you are craving something sweet! Its perfect for a late night snack or even for a random afternoon snack! Good thing about cake is that you can eat it any time of the day!
Ingredients (for 1 mug cake)
~4 tablespoons flour
~3 tablespoons sugar
~2 tablespoons cocoa powder
~ ½ teaspoon baking powder
~3 tablespoons milk
~1 tablespoon oil, vegetable or canola
~1 teaspoon vanilla extract
~1 tablespoon chocolate hazelnut spread, plus more for topping
~powdered sugar, for topping, optional
How to make it:
In a 12-ounce (375 ml) mug or larger, mix all ingredients (except the chocolate hazelnut spread) until just combined.
~Once combined, spoon the chocolate hazelnut spread on top of the batter.
~Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, watching to make sure it doesn't spill over (depending on the size of the mug).
~Let cool one minute before eating. Top with additional chocolate hazelnut spread and powdered sugar- Or even whipped cream/ice cream! (optional).
Tasty Yogurt Parfait
If you like something healthy once in awhile but want something sweet, I'd recommend making this yummy parfait! You can make it with any yogurt and the fruits you like.This one is the one I most make so you can try it out as well or change it up! Either way, yogurt parfaits are fast and delicious.
~1-2 cups of Strawberry yogurt (or any flavour you like)
~ 1 cup of mixed fruit- chopped up. I use: kiwi, banana, grapes, pineapple and blueberries.
~ 1 cup of granola.
How to make it:
~Layer your yogurt into the bottom each of each bowl or glass. Then place one layer or fruit, then granola and again the yogurt. Repeat that layering until glasses are filled to the top. Serve parfaits immediately to keep granola crunchy.

SOUTH KOREA: Daewoo Incheon two-shift operation starts - report
Daewoo Incheon Motor Co., which makes cars for South Korea's GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Co., started a two shift work system on Monday at one of its two production lines as demand for GM Daewoo vehicles grows, a GM Daewoo spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires. Introduction of the two shift operation brings Daewoo Incheon, which relies entirely on orders from GM Daewoo, closer to meeting conditions laid out by General Motors Corp. before it can once again become part of GM Daewoo, an affiliate of the US car giant, the report noted.

This study focusses on the hydrogeology of Urema Graben, especially possible interactions between surface water and groundwater around Lake Urema, in Gorongosa National Park (GNP). Lake Urema is the only permanent water source for wildlife inside GNP, and there are concerns that it will disappear due to interferences in surface-water/groundwater interactions as a result of changes in the hydraulic environment. As the lake is the only permanent water source, this would be a disaster for the ecosystem of the park. The sub-surface geology in Urema Graben was investigated by 20 km of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and three magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) surveys. The average depth penetration was 60 and 100 m, respectively. The location of the ERT lines was decided based on general rift morphology and therefore orientated perpendicular to Urema Graben, from the transitional areas of the margins of the Barue platform in the west to the Cheringoma plateau escarpments in the east. ERT and MRS both indicate a second aquifer, where Urema Lake is a window of the first upper semi-confined aquifer, while the lower aquifer is confined by a clay layer 30–40 m thick. The location and depth of this aquifer suggest that it is probably linked to the Pungwe River which could be a main source of recharge during the dry season. If a dam or any other infra-structure is constructed in Pungwe River upstream of GNP, the groundwater level will decrease which could lead to drying out of Urema Lake.

There's a lot of discussion going on right now about gun laws, and I see a lot of pro-gun posts from some of my friends on Facebook. Most of these consist of graphics that feature a one-liner or something to that effect, and the arguments they make are pretty weak. I hate dumb arguments, and am naturally drawn to pointing out their logical falacies; however, in doing so I risk starting a flame war and being branded anti-gun, which I'm not.
While I wasn't raised in a gun household, and never owned one myself, I've never been particularly against them. Thanks to friends and family (and, you know, living in Michigan), I've had quite a bit of exposure to them, and have had occassion to recreationally fire handguns, shotguns, and rifles. Like everyone else, I've also witnessed guns being glamorized in books, TV, and movies.
I'm a fairly pragmatic person. I'm also a nerd, so it made sense to me to lay out my thoughts on practical arguments for handgun ownership in a pro-con spreadsheet.
|Even considering gun, ammo, case, ammunition, training, and care, it's still cheaper than, say, a laptop
|There's probably something better to spend money on. Like an iPad! (hint hint my bday is coming up)
|Home Defense
|It can stop a theif
|Is your black-friday-discount TV worth more than a life? Do you not have insurance? Also, can't they just rob you when you aren't home?
|Home Defense
|I live in an extremely remote or dangerous area, and there is insufficient police or community to deter otherwise reluctant criminals
|Personal Defense
|It can stop a random attacker (rapist, manson-esque psychos)
|As long as they aren't smart enough to consider their victim might be armed, and factor that into their attack plan
|As long as gun ownership/carrying doesn't get any more widespread, most attackers may not account for it, so this one goes to "pro"
|Personal Defense
|It can stop someone who really wants to kill you (stalker, enemy, personal vendettas)
|If someone is intent on killing you, they will likely find a way. You can't be vigilant 100% of the time, and there are many other ways they can kill you (poisoning, IED, sabotage, arson) where your gun won't make a difference
|Home/Personal Defense
|Non-lethal options exist to stop/wound/deter attackers with less potential for err (spray, tazer, alarm, dogs, baseball bat)
|Some people hunt with them I guess
|But rifles/shotguns are going to be way better, and bows more fun
|You can defend your home from the police state
|They will win anyway.
|If you're in law enforcement/army and you will use it in your work, it makes sense to practice off-duty
|Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
|Unlike pretty much every object you will ever interact with, their primary reason for existence is to be used to kill. The risk of someone geting killed in the presence of a handgun is inherently higher than in the presence of, say, a spatula.
|Cool Factor
|Owning and operating a handgun makes you feel like a total badass
|More likely to show off or take risks
|Badass factor, all the way. Helps if an NWA song is playing in the background
|Crime Reduction
|Gun laws don't mean less violent crime
|Gun laws do mean less violent crime
|There are so many studies on both sides. It's also a bit of a chicken-and-egg scenario much of the time.
|Zombie Apocalypse
|In a zombie outbreak, nuclear holocaust, or other breakdown-of-all-society situation, a handgun would be very "handy" (+1 for pun!)
|A zombie outbreak, however fun to imagine, is unlikely for several reasons (like, science). Post-society situations are theoretically possible, but still extremely unlikely, and it's not necessarily clear how a handgun would benefit you more than another type of gun, or other survival measures
My Conclusions (so far)
If you consider it highly probable that you will be attacked in your home by several armed people, to the extent that no other home defense method would suffice, owning a handgun makes sense.
It seems comon sense to me though that you might be better off moving to an area where you aren't in grave danger, or working with the community to improve the conditions for everyone.
For me, I don't really see much of a practical point to owning a handgun. I think the "cool factor" is the only reason I'd ever consider it.
I'm still undecided where I fall on the gun control issue. I think some people have legitimate reasons for owning a gun, and I believe it's also the burden of the state to prove the necessity for such laws (ie that it makes society safer for all). But I also don't feel it's a great personal sacrifice, or that I'd be losing something truly valuable, if handguns were further restricted in some way, or the consequences for posessing one illegally were increased.

College time is unanimously considered to be the golden period of one's life. But the phrase "golden period" is interpreted in two diametrically opposite senses by different people. While some people call it"golden" because they could make 'masti', others call it so because they could make their 'hasti'(powerful personality) during this period.
Both experience and common sense tend to endorse the fact that the second view is saner, and needs to be followed by all

Ethan had a really big week. Or rather, I think , I did. My baby is growing up and there's nothing that I can do to stop it. Again, how long until I'm allowed to have a mid-life crisis?
We began the week with a Kindergartner and a full-set of primary teeth. I'm sure that you can see where I am going with this...
We ended the week with a 1st Grader and a less-than-full set of primary teeth.

One of the key things that I am interested in for my dissertation has been the 'institutes of national memory' – a number of similar organizations that exist across east and central Europe and that were founded during the 1990s (Poland in 1998 was the first) and 2000s (Slovakia in '02, Czech Republic as late as '07) to oversee the files of the former secret service and to facilitate public access to them. The institutes have other functions too, including but not limited to historical research and offering publications about the communist past to a wide audience. These institutes have been controversial, with detractors claiming that they are a right-wing project that paints an overly stark, black and white view of the communist past without acknowledging the differences between the Stalinist period of the 40s and 50s, on the one hand, and later, comparatively milder periods.
In recent months, controversy over the Czech 'Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes' has reached unprecedented heights. While the conflict has caused considerable anguish to many of those involved, it's been exceedingly fascinating for me to see the very topic of my dissertation as 'breaking news' in Czech media and as the subject of acrimonious discussion among political actors and public officials. I've met with and spoken to the majority of the key actors involved in this issue and seeing someone you talked to a day or so ago cited in the newspapers, commenting on the very issue you talked to them about, is kind of awesome. The conflict has also attracted international attention (although not nearly as much as when a few clueless people in the US did not know the difference between the Czech Republic and Chechnya). In fact, this topic has even warranted a post on the Economist's Eastern Approaches blog. Unfortunately, while whoever wrote that blog post got some basics right, most of what they wrote is wrong. I most strongly disagree with the way the Czech Republic is described as a country that lags behind in terms of attempting to deal with the communist past through addressing the collaborators of the former secret service. There can be different opinions on the extent to which those attempts have been successful, but you can't say the Czechs have not tried.
Nonetheless, The Economist notes that: "The relatively late creation of the ÚSTR 19 years after the fall of the communist regime is in stark contrast to how some other post-Communist states dealt with their past. The former East Germany, for example, allowed citizens to access security service archives in short order. The relative silence in then-Czechoslovakia's immediate post-Communist years allowed people with ties to the former regime to gain influential positions in business and politics, some making a seamless transition from Marxist ideologue to crusading capitalist."
Almost everything is wrong with this quote. First off, the comparison with Germany is off. To suggest that 'East Germany' did much of anything when it was in fact the West Germans who stipulated what would happen to the Stasi files directly in the Reunification Treaty. No other post-communist country had the benefit of an external actor, clean with respect to secret service collaboration, coming in to settle this matter.
Secondly, as compared to any other country in the post-communist world, the Czech Republic was the first and went the furthest when it comes to trying to remove former secret service personnel from the ranks of the civil service and other key offices. As early as 1991, the Czechoslovakian Federal Assembly adopted the so-called 'lustration law' that banned former secret service informers as well as high-ranking communist party members from a wide range of public offices (though not elected offices). The law was grandfathered into Czech legislation in 1993, renewed in 1996 and again in 2001, and is in force to this day. To characterize the Czech approach to the former communist regime and its collaborators as 'relative silence' completely misses the mark. If there is a 'stark contrast', it is because the Czechs stood at the forefront of introducing legislation meant to address just that issue.
While it is true that many communists are still active in Czech politics today, it is also true that Communists have played a far, far larger role in politics elsewhere in the post-communist world. Slovakia, to stay close to home, has in its 20 years of independence, only ever had presidents that were formerly a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (and high-ranking members in some cases). The same is true for Romania between 1990 and today (well, 1947 and today, really). The Czech Republic stands out as a country were elite renewal at least in terms of politics has been extremely successful – especially given that roughly 1 in 5 Czech adults in 1990 were or had been a member of the Communist Party. So yeah, of course it is true that some communists made a 'seamless transition from Marxist ideologue to crusading capitalist' and became rich very quickly. That however is not so much because of the way the Czech Republic addressed its past, but rather in spite of it.

- Sometimes I feel a bit Expensive
4. Epson ET-2750
best all in one printer for home use
Speaking of the printer. Therefore, it is very surprising that a supplier called Epson alone decided to challenge this situation by allowing users to refill the printer with ink bottles.
Even more surprising is that Epson consists of two years of ink and packaging, no longer expensive cartridges.but rather, you have enough material to provide 11,000 pages worth of black and color ink (this is a 700ml value liquid). So, if your house needs to print a lot of documents (such as school projects), the Epson Environmental Tank ET-4550 will eventually save you money.
- Printer with two years worth of ink
- Printing speed: 33ppm|paper size: A4, A5, A6, B5, envelope (C4, C6, DL, No. 10), 9x 13cm, 10x 15cm, 13x 18cm, 13x 20cm, 20x 25cm, 10x 14.8cm | : 150 sheets | Size: 515_x 360 x 241mm (width x depth x height) | Weight: 7.4kg
- Energy saving ecological ink system
- Three-year warranty
- Not the fastest printer
- Small tray
5. Canon PixMA PRO-100
best home office printer
In our opinion, the Canon Pixma Pro-100S is the best photo printer you can buy today, which means it should also have a place in our list of the best home printers. The print quality is excellent, it can also handle print sizes of A3 and above.
It is also quite fast and can print a 4×6 inch photo in 34 seconds. If you take a lot of photos on your smartphone or tablet, wireless printing will help you a lot. If you want the best photo printer at a reasonable price, this is our recommendation.
- Best all-around photo printer
- Printing speed: 34 seconds | Printing resolution: 4800 × 2400dpi | Paper capacity: 150 sheets | Size: 689 × 385 × 215mm | Weight: 19.7kg
- Excellent color and single print
- Relatively fast
- High ink cost
- Dye-based inks are inelastic
6. Canon PIXMA IX6820
best home laser printer
If you are looking for a universal printer that doesn't print quality, then we don't think you will be disappointed with the products that Canon's flagship printer PIXMA ix6820 can offer.
Although it is definitely more expensive than some of the two printers, it is not a bad price for printers that produce high quality prints, especially if you only need to print on A4 or lower printers.
Most importantly, the print quality here is amazing, and it also has an appealing design. Although the look of your printer doesn't seem to matter, it does mean that if you use it at home, you don't need to try to hide it from sight.
- Amazing print quality – price
- Printing speed: ISO 15ppm black, 10ppm color | Printing resolution: 4800 × 1200 | Paper size: A4, A5, B5, LTR, LGL, 20x25cm, 13x18cm, 10x15cm, 13×13, envelope (DL, COM10) | Paper capacity: 120 Sheet|Size: 372 × 324 × 140mm (width x depth x height) | Weight: 6.7g
- Large print quality
- Cute design
- expensive
- Slow printing speed
7.HP Office Jet 200 in one printer
best color laser printer for home
The HP Office Jet 200 All-in-One printer is a great home printer, and if you're on a budget, if you only need to print, scan and copy files occasionally, then this is a great option to save money.
Of course, because of its low price, there are some things to sacrifice, but in general, this is a very cheap printer, it is happy to print documents at very low prices, as well as scanning and photo copying.
- Large family printer
- Printing speed: 20 pages per minute | Scanning resolution: 1200x 1200 dpi | Features: printing, copying, scanning | Size: 241 × 424 × 309mm | Weight: 3.52kg
- Includes many features supported by smartphones
- Easy to install, configure and use
- Sometimes I feel a bit not cheap
8. HP Sprocket Photo Printer
home printer reviews
This small, manual, photo printer is not meant to print professional quality photos, but a quick, easy and fun way to instantly print out your digital snapshots – essentially turning any digital camera into a Polaroid-style instant printer.
It doesn't use ink, so you don't have to worry about buying a new cartridge, but use heat to turn a pre-dyed paper into your photo. It runs on the battery and has a sleek design as well. If your home doesn't have space for a photo printer, you still want a photo printer, which is a good choice. However, printing standard documents is useless.
- A fast and convenient portable photo printer
- Printing speed: 40 seconds | Printing resolution: 313x 400|Paper capacity: 10 sheets | Size: 75x 116 x 23 mm (width x depth x height) | Weight: 0.17kg
- Easy to use
- No ink required
- Expensive media
- Printing quality is not the best

It's best to appear at your management consultant salary in a distinct way than you would for your current job's salary. Below is the salary data for these joining consulting fresh out of an undergraduate program and MBA program. The firm is the most hugely ranked recruiter in the Prime Consultant reader polls for best management consultancy recruitment firm. From here you will normally progress to senior consultant or manager level, and this is normally accomplished comparatively rapidly inside about three years. The median base salary for a project management skilled in the U.S. is $one hundred,000.
The total management consultant payment in Australia that you can reach at can be comprised from AU$53,443 per year and AU$171,344 per year. Some employers may seek candidates with sophisticated degrees, such as an MBA with a specialization in International Enterprise Graduates of such applications are expected to be in a position to. We are the pioneers of massive on the web education communities in the MBA education space.
For that reason, at minimum, the company's cover letter to the INS need to state with particularity the management issue to be solved, the purpose for the brief-term need to have for an outdoors consultant, how the applicant is qualified to resolve the issue, and the terms of compensation. The consultant might then produce forecasts for the company's outlook and uncover approaches to measure the company's efficiency.
An example of a place where having an MBA in addition to experience helps is when applying to a consultancy like McKinsey & Business. I am an undergraduate from a top university in China and pondering about pursuing a management consulting profession. Just received a complete time offer with Deloitte S&. Base among 130-140K, signing 40K, Incentive bonus 7.5, relocation 10K. The essential duty of a consultant is to provide clear, timely tips and help an organization implement it as rapidly and efficiently as feasible for the greatest enterprise results. Although you may well be pondering that you'd like the greater end of this salary range (ie.
Apogee Health-related pays its staff a median annual salary of $220,000 — the very best in the nation. The greatest-recognized certification is that of Certified Management Consultant (CMC), provided by the Institute of Management Consultants USA. A common MBA would enter a consulting firm at a mid-level with a base salary of $125,000 and a signing bonus of $20,000.

Summary: severe performance drop indoors with reflections enabled, even on low setting
Version: 17.2
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows 10 latest
Did you wipe old saves? yes
Did you start a new game? yes
Did you validate your files? yes
Are you using any mods? no
EAC on or off ? off
Status: old, but tested extensively since 17.2 experimental builds
Bug Description:
When you change reflection graphic setting from "off" to "low" performance degrades indoors from 110-120fps to 40-48fps immediately. A little less fps with "medium" and "high", but with these latest settings frametime spikes a lot more than low or off (tested with msi afterburner ingame graphs). Outdoors has also a performance penalty but just from 110-120 to ~90fps on same areas. The lighting is a bit different with reflections enabled, even without reflective surfaces around. Looks like the setting is enabling some light bouncing between blocks and surfaces that eats a ton of gpu resources, but that indoor scenes doesn't look arguably better compared with water reflections for example.
Screenshots before/after: https://imgur.com/a/kheILv6
System: GTX 1080, I7 7700k, 16gb 3200mhz, SSD
2560x1440p, vsync off, exclusive fullscreen
Reproduce steps:
Switch reflection setting between off and low in settings while you're indoors at any building, big or small. I prefer to test outside cities and after cleaning zombies to avoid cpu spikes interferences. When you clic apply button to enable reflections the performance degrades immediately. To compare performance degradation between indoors and outdoors ,enable DM mode and fly in an out the buildings.
Actual result: more than 50% fps degradation indoors.
Expected result: performance degradation much less pronounced, like outdoors.

Born and raised in the small industrial town of Ellesmere Port in the UK, I had a misspent youth that lacked both ambition and direction.
At the age of 14, I fell sick with a rare condition called Stephen Johnsons Syndrome. The skin across my whole body blistered and fell off. It almost killed me. With my eyes now opened to how precious the time I had was, and after a year long recovery, I returned to school with a tenacious attitude to excel in everything.
Completing High School, I attended De Montfort University in Leciester where I discovered climbing. I quickly became obsessed with romantic notion of adventure and enjoyed the unique problem solving qualities it presented. During my final year, my focus had strayed from my studies in computer science to forming a life around my passion.
Building on my experience as the chairman of the University Climbing Club, I built a guiding company with a close friend and began living the climbing lifestyle. I soon found myself in Oman as a mountain guide exploring its vast offerings of Canyons, Sea Cliffs and Big Walls.
Working closely with local climbers, I realised the reward that could be gained from building community and together we created a small climbing gym called "The Wall".
That summer, during a effort to establish a new route up the 3,600ft cliff of Jebal Misht, a rock came loose while high up which landed on my face, ripping my anchors out the wall. Once again I found myself brushing shoulders with death.
While recovering in hospital, I began looking for ways to best apply myself which would hold value richer than monetary.
A year later in 2012, I moved to New York and began working on a bouldering guide with the aim to develop climbing and in doing so, build and strengthen the community as well as the causes that benefit climbers such as, the Access Fund and Climbers Against Cancer.
Beginning 2014, I elevated my climbing dreams to loftier heights by establishing
Currently living in Mexico, my dream is to continue growing climbing as a community, culture and sport through development of new climbing areas, local communities projects, and industry education and awareness.

A product typically represents what you build and deliver to customers. It is what your customers buy or what your internal stakeholders use.
Please keep in mind:
- Products are used to set strategy, plan releases, capture ideas, and add features.
- Product lines are used to set strategy and create hierarchy by grouping products together.
If you have one team that delivers a single product to the market, then a one-product hierarchy in Aha! is perfect. This will keep the product hierarchy simple and easy to manage.
We automatically use your account name to create a top-level entity. This helps to create a nested portfolio structure to organize your data. It is also useful to set strategy at the top level and link it to work done on the product. This makes it easy to have corporate-level goals and product-level initiatives that tie to them, which you can visualize in a hierarchy report.
Create your product from Settings > Account > Configure products.
- Click on Add Product.
- Select the product line to which it belongs (if one exists).
- Enter a product name, optional description, and prefix. Then, click Create Product.
After you add your individual product, you will see it available in the navigation. Remember that you and other users are not able to edit or delete products that you do not have permissions for. In settings, navigate to Settings > Account > Users to edit permissions.
If you have more than one product, read these articles for setting up multiple products or a large portfolio of products.

Flash version of Oregon Trail
This is the first time I've played this without dying of dysentery. Be kind, pick up hitchers. Bonus: IM between Lauren and me logging the game (edited because no one cares to read everything I write.) Jigga-funny to anyone who knows these characters; stupid otherwise:
- me: How are you this fine day, Lauren?
- Lauren: well, chemistry is kkilling me
the science
- me: What's up with that?
I thought you dug "science."
- Lauren: well this is the one i dont really get
- me: So, you admit that your IQ is a paltry 187?
I'm not mad, just disappointed.
Maybe a Flash version of Oregon trail would help?
Check it real fast:
I'm playing the online Oregon Traill...
And "koavf" is driving with "lauren" shotgun.
"lunchbox" "pudge" and "gayson" in the back.
Literally 10 second into the drive, I get this message:
"lunchbox gets a small fruit candy stuck up a nostril."
I kid you not.
I could not make that up.
- Lauren: you're lying
- me: Seriously.
I just got:
"pudge gets a finger stuck in a pop bottle."
No joke.
- Lauren: oh man now that's realistic for ya
- me: By the way, I will die of dysentery.
- Lauren: good.
i knew i could count on you.
- me: I always died of dysentery in Oregon Trail. ALWAYS.
I think it's God's way of giving me a hint.
Newest message:
"lauren says: 'Hey, check it out, I just found $100 on the ground!"
Literally true.
- Lauren: No wAY
- me: Next message:
"pudge stuck a hand out of the window while it was hailing and fractured a metacarpal."
- Lauren: hahahaha
a metacarpal
- me: "lauren gets a hand rolled in a window. You'll never hear the end of this. Lose 30 minutes."
It's like REAL LIFE.
- Lauren: HAHAHAHAHA
i just laughed so hard out loud
they know our personalities
keep a log of this game
- me: Well, I am. Here.
*sleeps in Grand Island, Nebraska.
You rested for 13 hours. Again, about right.
- Lauren: eh, it's usually 13.5
but close
- me: Should we join a parking lot turtle race for $5?
- Lauren: uh YES
- me: Your turtle wins!
You won $125!
gayson gets giardia from drinking too much creek water.
This is creepy.
- Lauren: man my hand hurts ...you know...FROM THAT TIME YOU ROLLED THE WINDOW UP ON IT
- me: Oh noXORZ!
Hey, maybe you rolled up the window.
*never hears the end of it
- Lauren: yeah way to BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE
- me: *never hears the end of it still.
We're in Boulder!
pudge asks a weird question during "Would you rather?", taking things too far again.
lunchbox gets purple nurple from another car member due to a music disagreement.
*clearly pudge
You pass some nasty roadkill. gayson cries. Everyone feels awkward.
A breath-holding competition is held while going through a tunnel and lauren passes out.
pudge claims to have seen Big Foot in the distance.
lauren gets a thigh burn on the hot leather seats
