All-Women Sri Lankan Adventure
If you are thinking of a scenic place that has natural beauty, the luxuries of the East and does not leave a hole in your pocket, Sri Lanka is definitely a place worth exploring. It was on this note, that an all-women trip to Sri Lanka was planned. We were seven Delhi women, friends for over 20 years, travelling without family for the first time and were as excited as teenagers. With some trepidation we chose to fly Air India given that the country's national carrier is not always known to be on time, but we were pleasantly surprised. It proved to be a good choice, as both the timing of the flight, and the cost worked well for us.
The itinerary and stay arrangements were left to an AirBnB junkie in our group as none of the others had any experience in staying at a bed-and-breakfast place. We were a little reluctant, as we were used to a resort or a good hotel accommodation, not to mention room service. But we were more than pleasantly surprised, both with the amenities, as well as how beautiful and well kept some of these properties really were. Of course, my friend gets the credit for doing a great job of checking out the ratings and reviews, while making these bookings.
Our first evening in Colombo
A spanking new and very comfortable Toyota van arrived to pick us up at the Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo – a great start and a signal from above that this trip was going to be awesome. It had already turned dark as we started out towards our B&B accommodation in Colombo and it took us almost an hour to reach there. Even in the dark we were able to soak in the greenery of the island as we rode along immaculately clean roads. The driver made some wrong turns but managed to locate the BnB place after a few phone calls. Typically, some of us had sweated silently — after all we were an all-women group, in a new place, with zero command over the Sinhalese or Tamil languages, armed only with a cell phone that wasn't yet activated with a local SIM card…
But we soon located our four-bedroom BnB (Serene Villa) in a quiet residential part of the city. After some initial hiccups such as no AC in one of the rooms and the sighting of a cockroach in one of the bathrooms, we decided we couldn't care less.
Our dinner venue on the first night was pre-decided and Gallery Café on Paradise Road it was. The Gallery Café had earlier housed the offices of world-renowned Sri Lankan architect, the late Geoffrey Bawa and is a 'must visit' for anyone visiting the city of Colombo. They serve both local and international cuisine.
We didn't have reservations, so we waited. And while we waited, we soaked in the ambience of an era gone by. Some of us browsed through reasonably priced creative accessories in a shop in the premises. Back at the table, we raised a toast to our independence and enjoyed a wonderful candle-light fine dining experience. I ordered a Mediterranean salad and lemon grass and ginger chicken. The aromatic spices had accentuated the flavor of the perfectly cooked chicken. There were several vegetarian exotic dishes on the menu. The bill was a little steep; but worth every penny, or rather, every Sri Lankan cent.
Next on the list was to check out a Casino and try our lady luck. The driver dropped us at Bally's, the largest casino in Sri Lanka. Not for a moment did we feel out of place unaccompanied by men at that hour of the night. We found Sri Lankans to be very gentle and friendly. Bally's Casino was a great experience.
Off to Kandy
We left for Kandy the next morning after a hearty breakfast of fish curry, rice and coconut (pol) Sambol. Our Man Friday stopped enroute, to show us one of the famed spice gardens.
The drive from Colombo to Kandy was absolutely scenic. Kandy, a large and clean city has excellent weather. Formerly a kingdom, Kandy is set on a plateau with lush green mountains around it. One can also travel to Kandy by rail, to soak in the most incredible views… but then I suppose one wouldn't have the pleasure of just stopping anywhere to click magnificent shots of hundreds of bats hanging from a single tree!
To get the correct feel of a new place, one must try the local cuisine. So we chose to stop at a local dhaba run by an all-women crew, who wouldn't stop smiling. The food was out of the world, served hygienically in disposable leafy plates. We were served chicken, yellow lentil, a wonderful concoction of local vegetables and a spicy chutney which tasted so much like fish, but was not. All this yum was accompanied by hot appams.
Reaching Kandy
On reaching Kandy, we stopped for coffee and took a boat ride in the Bogambara Lake next to the Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa). This temple houses the relic of the tooth of Buddha and is a famed Buddhist shrine. One needs to dress modestly to enter this place.
After some quick shopping at the local mall to get stuff to cook for dinner, we headed to our Kandy BnB (Mountain View). This BnB was what heaven must be like. It overlooked a valley, and in the dark we could see the twinkling lights of the houses below. It was so peaceful. We could have sat in the balcony the entire night. (The owner of this B&B is an architect living in New Zealand and had the wooden floor from Kiwi land.)
We sent the caretaker away and gathered in the kitchen to make sandwiches for dinner. Later, we sat out in the balcony overlooking the green and lush valley and talked and talked as only women can. The liquor ran short but the musings wouldn't end.
The caretaker served us idli-sambar for breakfast the next morning. Like in typical coastal areas, all food was coconut based. So for us Indians, the cuisine of Sri Lanka is easy on the palate as it is so much like South Indian food.
Very reluctantly, we left this beautiful house in the morning.
Drive to the South-West coast of Sri Lanka
On the way to Galle, we stopped at the Pinnawala elephant orphanage. It was a real delight to see the elephants bathing in the river. The heat could not dampen the spirit of our group.
We had lunch at a small, local restaurant, frequented more by foreigners than by the locals. The drive to Galle too was amazing. We sang loudly all through the drive. I really wouldn't be surprised if the driver swore he would never again drive a bunch of loony women from India! We did, of course, tip the man at the end of the trip for being so patient with us.
Our BnB at Galle (Moonstone Villa) was right on the beach and we had our very own private outdoor Jacuzzi. The garden had wooden reclining chairs and was surrounded by tall coconut trees. As we looked up, we set our eyes on orange coloured coconuts for the first time.
Needless to say, Galle turned out to be another heaven on Earth. After feasting our eyes on the sea for a long while, we headed out to one of the more expensive shacks for dinner. We had even dressed formally but the dinner was a big disappointment.
The next morning saw us at the magnificent fort area in Galle. The 400 year old fort is located in the Bay of Galle on the South West coast of Sri Lanka and was built by the Portuguese and Dutch. It's on the sea-side and a little hot if you reach at noon. Here we gave in to every woman's eternal need of indulging in some default shopping at the quaint little shops that lined a long cobbled street, picking up beautiful semi precious stones and the famed Sri Lankan tea.
It was authentic Sri Lankan cuisine for lunch and afterwards we headed out for the Jungle Beach. We had to walk through a little jungle on the hillside to reach the beach. The track was a bit steep in places, but once we reached the beach and started to soak in the clear water, we forgot the strain. We had tea at a shack while we waited to watch the sunset.
Not having had enough of the sea, we spent our last night in Galle on our private beach until the wee hours. The whole set up was so safe that we didn't feel nervous for a moment.
Back to Colombo
Now there was only one more day in Colombo. We stopped at the Turtle Farm and Hatchery on our way back to Colombo. It was fascinating to see the old, sick and infirm turtles looked after so lovingly. The newborn, day-old babies were adorable.
Arriving in the evening (stayed at Serene Villa), we decided to make a stop at the shopping paradise 'Odel'. We, also couldn't have left Colombo without having dinner at the famed 'Ministry of Crabs'. To dine here, one needs to make a reservation. We decided to dress in our formals and were glad because a certain sophistication was expected, albeit with a casual air.
Set up in a 400-year-old Dutch hospital, this restaurant was started by Chef Darshan Munidasa along with legendary cricketers Mahila Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara. The restaurant mainly serves crabs — delectable crabs, cooked exotically. The drinks menu came to us rolled in a bottle. We ordered Rose wine with our meal. We were given quirky bibs to wear while dining. The dinner was a grand finale to this fabulous trip.
We loitered around the complex after the heavenly meal. We wanted to enjoy every minute of our final few hours in this exotic place.
Goodbye Sri Lanka
Our early morning Air India flight took off on time without a glitch. We sat more or less in silence through the flight, rejuvenated and satisfied, wanting to imbibe and relive the entire trip in our minds before we got back into the humdrum of our daily routine.

Though Tails was her debut album, Loeb had already hit the stratosphere of the pop charts a year earlier with "Stay," a monster hit from the soundtrack of the film Reality Bites. "Stay" is also included on Tails, but the other 12 tracks demonstrate Loeb had more than one good song in her, even if none of them found similar success on the singles chart. Loeb's knack for infectious, buoyant pop shines through on such instantly catchy tunes as "Snow Day," "Rose-Colored Time" and "Waiting for Wednesday"; quieter, darker numbers such as "Hurricane," "Alone" and "Lisa Listen" reveal a more reflective side; and "Taffy" shows she's occasionally willing to let loose and rock as well. --Peter Blackstock

Today, I'd like to share with you a patient experience, because it might be a question that you've had yourself. Just today, I was asked by a patient, "if my arteries look okay on C.T. imaging if I've got a zero calcium score, can I stop my cholesterol tablets?"
Today, I'd like to share with you a case, a story about a man I saw this last week. This gentleman was in his early 60s. He's a very fit, slim, and active man who has looked after himself over the years. He does exercise regularly, and he is keen to make sure that he has the best heart health.
Today, I want to talk a little bit about what happens if the valves of the heart stop working. Well, before I cover that in too much detail, what I'd like to do is quickly remind us of how the circulation works.

DATELINE: The hugely Muslim populated country of Indonesia
HEADLINE: Stephen Tong is the world's bravest pastor
Why? This dude is opening a megachurch in a country made up of violent Muslims and knows he'll make a difference. In fact, the country breakdown is as follows:
Muslim majority (86%), Protestants (6%), Catholics (6%), Hindus (1.8%) and other faiths
This is the world's biggest Muslim nation known for forcing out seminaries and churches at will. You think that's going to stop Stephen Tong, Superpastor? Not in the least. Which incidentally, would this be the first story of the separation of Church and Mosque?! Ah, well… back to the story.
"This proves that there are no restrictions from the Indonesian government to build religious centres," said Tong, a charismatic preacher who founded the Indonesian Reformed Evangelical Church in 1989. "It gives the world a new impression of Indonesia: it is not a messy country or full of troubles."
Not that my medulla was full of opinions on Jakarta, but because of this story, I do have a firm opinion of him.
This is one bold Christian, and in a country where Muslims have been known to thrash and even burn churches, he must be a man of prayer as well.
Wall Watchers, persecution of Christians and religion is very real over the pond. This church has an opportunity to be a bright light in a dark and dank land. God, protect this man and that church. Keep it strong and fortified and allow its doors to stay open to the millions of Muslims and the tens of Christians in that country.

In a plea to save the Syrian people, UN Emergency Relief Coordinator Stephen O'Brien appealed to the Security Council on 29 September, demanding that the international body for peace maintenance take stronger measures to stop the war. The statement from O'Brien comes as Aleppo continues to suffer under attack as Syrian government forces continue their efforts to take over rebel-held areas of the city.
The new wave of fighting has already brought the death toll to 320, of which 100 are children.
"Syria is bleeding. Its citizens are dying. We all hear their cry for help. As humanitarians we are doing all we can," he told the 15-member council. "It is time to place blame. It is time this Council stops tolerating the utter disregard for the most basic provisions of international humanitarian law."
Recounting the intensification of fighting across the country and in particular in eastern Aleppo, O'Brien said: "This is not an unforeseen result of forces beyond our control. This is due to the action of parties to the conflict and it is the direct result of inaction – be it through unwillingness or inability – by the international community, including most notably those present in this chamber."
Pointing out the Council's responsibility "to save the Syrian people from the scourge of war", the UN official criticised the use of "bunker busting" bombs in the conflict-torn region. "This means there are bodies of babies, children, women and men stuck unrecovered in the rubble of basements up to 20 metres down where they had taken refuge – and where they had been safe until the use of these recently introduced weapons," he said.
O'Brien pointed out that major areas of the Aleppo have no water supply or medical facilities, and the recent attack on a joint UN-Syrian Arab Red Crescent convoy to Urum al-Kubra has only made matters worse. "Those on the front lines delivering aid are brave, but they are not suicidal," he said.
In a press meet in Geneva, UN Deputy Special Envoy for Syria, Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy explained that according to estimates, as many as 600 wounded people cannot be provided with medical treatment and underlined that there are now less than 35 doctors covering a population of at least 275,000.

Terra cotta units were removed from the building façade and replaced with temporary plywood protection. The pieces were then reinstalled after months of modeling and fabrication.
Brick, limestone and terra cotta were all used in the original construction of this building and were all removed, unveiling the under-lying building condition.
Extensive repairs were performed at all four corners of the building with the help of modular swing-stage scaffolding.
As brick was removed, the steel structure became visible.
A swing stage is lowered to continue work on the building's corner.
Designed by the notable firm of Marshall & Fox and constructed in 1913, 1200 Lake Shore Drive remains one of Chicago's residential jewels. Beginning in 2009, Central embarked on a multi-year project to restore the building's brick, terra cotta, and limestone facades. With detailed planning and extraordinary care, Central carefully dismantled and catalogued stone and terra cotta detailing. While openings were temporarily boarded up to protect against the elements, replacement products were procured to match. Custom sized and colored brick were procured to produce an impeccable match. Once scaffolding was removed at the project's completion, the building looked virtually the same as it did nearly a century ago – a true testament to matching preservation techniques.
The rounded bays and large portions of the ground floor stone masonry were reconstructed, brick corners were rebuilt, and the stone cornice was rehabilitated. In addition, all of the masonry was ground out and tuckpointed and all of the windows were restored. Central's work should help to preserve this Landmark well into its second century.

We've never offered a discount for a review, and they're awesome anyway.
Funny thing about good service, there's no "oh, please leave us a review!!" or "hey, we'll give you TEN PERCENT OFF if you write a review RIGHT NOW!!!" nonsense. We don't need it. We always saw that kinda thing as bottomfeeding, and there's no shortage of it nowadays.
We believe strongly against rewarding positive reviews with discounts, and take pride in earning each review.
Many repair shops have found a way to cheat social media sources. They will offer a customer a direct discount if they leave a positive in store review, which creates a flurry of five star reviews of potentially three star businesses.
Check the ratio of reviews to filtered reviews on Yelp! before making your decision. More filtered reviews than real reviews
means trouble.
You'll note our ratio of reviews to filtered reviews is quite low, as a result of not bribing customers to leave an in-store review. None of our reviews were solicited by offering a customer a discount to leave a review! The only motivation these customers had was the service they received while here.
We do not cherry pick reviews and put them on the site next to a name that could be fake. Everything you see is the
We treat people right, and you'll see that wherever you read about Rossmann Group.
The internet has made gathering information on local businesses much easier over the past few years. Social media helps cut through the crap of paid online advertising, commercials, and self-proclaimed excellence to get you the information you want – How does this business treat its customers? A shop can talk a big game on their website, but at the end of the day, social media tells you whether it's true or whether it's bunk. We welcome you to leave your own feedback, and to check ours. Like any retail store with 20-70 tickets per day, we get some loonies. What we stand by is a history and commitment to quality customer service and feel this is represented in our online reputation.
The best Google rating of any business in Macbook repair
The number of reviews as well as the number of ratings we have is head & shoulders above every company in our industry. Look for Macbook Repair on Google maps – there is no business that does what we do with the same combination of high ratings & high quantity of high ratings on Google business listings. We live & breathe making customers happy and believe it shows in our online reputation.

It's empty in here!
I had one of these before which my dogs loved. I bought another one because you can plug this one in and it cost less than replacing the batteries all the time. The plug is no longer working. It feels like it isn't connecting properly. So back to batteries. Also the tray has come loose too.
..that the product didn't work in our case - not even 2 hours ago we went & bought one after finding it in pet store's website; would've been great activity game for our 2 shelties (aged 1 & 11) but guess we got a bad apple. nothing wrong with the batteries. there's both of the sounds when pressed the button, not always though, and not once has it release any treats, only when pressed the reset button but that's to correct the treat container's position.. we were really looking forward to it =(
Definitely recommend this! Our Working Cocker Spaniel loves this interactive food game. The button can be placed in another room and she finds it and then runs for the food dispenser, on and on. Great design, does sometimes drop out too many biscuits (ie the game finishes more quickly)
This arrived yesterday and we had much excitement from our Dalamatian pup as we set it up. Didn't even have to show him how to use it - he had it completely sussed within seconds and it was very quickly emptied! He's just 12 weeks old so not sure how long this will keep him entertained for.
My cocker spaniel loves this , I could see her working it out. Only took 15mins . She now gets her meals via this toy. Only drawback releases too many treats or none , hard to regulate. Very good mental work out.
Bought this for our Springer spaniel X Labrador as a Christmas present & she absolutely loves it. She'd already learned the 'tag' command so figured it out far too quickly. Last week she got a bad cut on her leg & was told to only walk on a lead for 10 days, this frustrated her immensely, as she normally gets two 1 1/2 hour exercise each day. Today I brought it out again & she was absolutely over the moon to be allowed the opportunity to do a bit of running again. I would totally recommend it!
Mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation with many breeds and this memory trainer keeps my dogs on their toes. Can't wait till the weather gets better and I can start putting the button much further away from the dispenser in the garden.
I bought this for my Sheltie, mainly to utilise for agility training as it provides a reward at a distance without me being present to help with working independently and drive. It was particularly useful for teaching weaves as I found she was looking at my hands for the reward all the time rather than driving forward. Negatives for me are that sometime too much kibble is released or none at all and button can be quite sensitive when you're running but overall great value.
My cocker spaniel loves it. After nearly twice daily use for a year the original one stopped communicating between button and main unit. I didn't hesitate to get another. She can be a bit lazy so sometimes needs cheering on from the sidelines! I would definitely recommend it.
I bought this for my GSP for Christmas and to say he loves it is an understatement! He begs me daily to play with it. I put one of his meals in it and he works hard for it. Not had any problems, and even with a super enthusiastic GSP pushing the button still going strong. Dread the day it stops working, I'll be forced to buy another. Best purchase in a while
So disappointed that the unit isn't working. Going to buy some fresh batteries just in case but there's no red light telling me they are low. No instructions on setting up. Treat does not appear in tray.
My dogs loved this. Reacted to the noise, understood the connection between the noise and the treats, HOWEVER, the interaction between the press pad and the reaction pod stopped very quickly, which meant the noise happened, but no treat! Very confused dogs and disappointed owners.
This is well worth the money, the button have two different sound settings and you can adjust the size of the hole in the treat dispenser to accommodate larger sized treats.
Bought after reading the reviews but was concerned may be a little too advanced for my 6 month old boxer puppy.......he loves it!!!. He has already been taught the 'touch' command, so just showed him the button and said touch and after the 3rd go he figured out what he had to do. I'm using his dry food from his food allowance plus a few of his broken up treats as a 'jackpot' reward, and now we move the button, hide it and it's fantastic mental stimulation. His tail starts wagging as soon as he sees it it is a very high quality, well thought out item, a light on the button would be the only thing to improve it further.
it took our labrador girl 15 minutes to figure it out. now she uses it like a kibble ATM. she runs around the house looking for the button, pushes, waits to hear the sound of kibble coming out, then rushes to the dispenser. she adores it. we have a great time laughing as we watch.
Bought to amuse two Boxer dogs when it's two wet outside to have a run around the Garden. In general it works well, we use some of their daily kibble allowance in it rather than buying extra treats , that way we know how much they eat a day and can control their weight. I was doubtful how long the button would last with a Boxer as they tend to get over excited about pushing a button :) but so far so good. Could have been five stars if the button had a light option in it for a deaf dog
Before we got the memory trainer, our Border Collie pup thought she was part Labrador when it came to meal times. You put her food down and it will be gone a little after removing your hand. Now that we have the memory trainer she gets part of her dinner in a bowl and the rest goes into the machine, mealtimes take a bit longer now and she has fun at the same time. when she was 14 weeks old, at first she would not go anywhere near the touch sensor, she is wary of sounds, but a bit of coaxing and the cat enjoying himself touching the sensor and getting dog food (his favorite) was just too much for her. After that it took 2 minutes to work it out and she was off, touch and eat. Now the sensor is at one end of the room and the dispenser at the other. She runs back and forth between them and is always disappointed when the food has gone. She did have the advantage of being trained to touch which helped her figure it out.
Bought this for my arthritic older dog for Christmas. He already understood to bop a target with his paw (taught using clicker-training), so getting him used to this was easy. I would imagine if you've never done any form of target or clicker training it would take a few days for your dog to master this game. Once they've got it, though, they love it! The dispenser is easy to fill and set up. However a large dog can easily knock it over - I wedged it between two pieces of furniture to stop my dog doing this. My boy gets so enthusiastic with the button that he 'digs' at it, flipping it over, so I also wedge the rubber-surround that comes with it under a table-leg to keep it in place. The suction-type holder (for use on tiled floors) Is fairly useless. There is a grass-peg to secure the button down on a lawn, (though looks a bit flimsy) or you can hold the button in your hand. Once your dog knows the button equals food, you could make it harder for the dog - put the button inside a cardboard box, for example, or use the button in place of a clicker to teach 'go to bed' or similar skills. (Placing the toy in a crate could help reduce separation anxiety!) The treats need to be hard kibble (I used a portion of my dog's normal food, making mealtimes last longer and helping to keep his weight down). You can adjust how many treats are dispensed. This is a great way to entertain a bored dog in the house, or distract him while you get on with hanging out the washing! It's been wonderful for my arthritic boy who can't manage long walks or chasing after a ball any more, but still wants to play. All in all, well worth the money, far cheaper than other 'target' based treat-dispensers, and works just as well.

Resources and curriculum links for 'Is'
Below is a chapter by chapter breakdown of the topics covered in the novel, together with possible resources that can be used to cover other subjects:

Your employer cannot fire you or otherwise discriminate against you at your place of employment because you have exercised your rights under the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Act. This means that an employer cannot fire you because you have filed a workers' compensation claim alleging you were injured on the job. However, your employer does not have to keep your job open for you for any mandated period of time. Therefore, if you are injured on the job, and are out for a period of time beyond which the employer is not willing to wait for you to return to work, the employer is free to terminate your employment. (The only exception to this rule of "employment at will", is when you have a contract with your employer that provides for additional rights.)
If you feel that you have been terminated because you have exercised a right under workers' compensation, you may bring a claim against your employer for a wrongful termination. This can be done within the context of the workers' compensation commission, or it may be done at the superior court level. There are pros and cons to each jurisdiction, including the remedies that are available. You should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each forum with your attorney very carefully. In general, these claims are very difficult to prosecute because there is rarely ever direct evidence that the employer fired you as a result of your having filed a workers' compensation claim. Instead, you must rely on indirect evidence such as the proximity in time between your injury and your termination; how long you worked for the employer (the longer the better); what your work history has been with that employer including job reviews, and the like.
The challenge of prevailing in such a claim is also made more difficult by a current economic downturn which provides a legitimate basis for any employer to let go of any employee.

Recycled Materials
Your recycle bin is another great place to find your child's next "favorite" toy. Look at Isaac. His mom took an empty 2 liter bottle and filled it with some colorful items she found at the Dollar Tree. He is better developing his understanding of cause and effect, problem solving, and the impact his body can have on the objects in his environment. Water bottles, juice bottles, and 2 liter bottles are great for this activity. If you have an older child, they can wash out the bottle and help determine what can go inside for the younger child. Going back to the basics for children is essential – you save money and they are still learning about the environment around them. If you have any similar pictures of your children, post them and share what you put in your bottles. ~Marena Mitchell, Speech-Language Pathologist

Michael Greenberg is the author of a new collection of essays, "Beg, Borrow, Steal: A Writer's Life," and a memoir, "Hurry Down Sunshine." He writes the "Freelance" column for the Times Literary Supplement.
As a writer, I've had to contend with a curse that may be less rare than is generally supposed: I cannot bear to hear a single musical chord, no matter how golden it may be, while trying to lay down a sentence. Music infallibly blocks my flow of language. This is because I can't help but listen with my entire attention, whether the tune is trashy or sublime. The musicians I knew as a teenager in New York had an aura about them, like athletes, as if an essential aspect of their being was in abeyance between gigs. I wanted to approach writing the same way: chops up, and ready to pour forth when it counted. Maybe this explains why, after a day of writing, I crave music so keenly. I am especially drawn to singers who seem to spill a drop of blood while making sure their lyrics can be heard.
1) You Are So Beautiful, Sarah Vaughan. The divine one, who was not beautiful in any conventional way, pours out the unappreciated sorrow of being a fool for those who are. This cut is from her album "Crazy and Mixed Up." Her complex voice, that neither Columbia records nor anyone else could tame into a reliable conveyer of commercial pop, travels through territories that most other singers aren't even aware exist. She reminds me of the novelist Malcolm Lowry, simultaneously sophisticated, elegant and raw.
2) Famous Blue Raincoat, Leonard Cohen. There is no end to the mystery of this song, with its bending rhymes and different storylines that seem to emerge every time you listen to it. "The last time I saw you, you looked so much older / Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder." Beautifully crafted, but not overexplained. It reminds you to make sure the reader has a stake in what you write; the bigger the stake, the better.
3) Hurt. Johnny Cash takes Trent Reznor's lament to an unimaginable region of the psyche and the flesh. Cash recorded it just weeks before he died. "What have I become, my sweetest friend?" It's a testament to the intensity of human feeling right up to the last breath.
4) Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. Ella Fitzgerald turns this risqué Rodgers and Hart torch song into a novel of self-destructive love that might have been written by Edna O'Brien or Jean Rhys. You know exactly how much she's willing to give up for the weekend of transcendence that her "half-pint imitation" of a man can bring. Almost everything.
5) It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, Bob Dylan. "Yonder stands your orphan with his gun / crying like a fire in the sun." Visceral, visual — an image around which you could construct an epic.
6) Don't Worry 'Bout Me. When Tony Bennett croons this little masterpiece of camouflaged self-pity, you can hear the tuxedo in his voice, though you know it's rented and will have to be returned in the morning.
7) A Change Is Gonna Come, Sam Cooke. A lot of artists have covered this song in sublime fashion: Otis Redding, Billy Preston, Al Green and Patti Labelle, singing like she's running in slow motion. But Sam Cooke's original recording has the dignity and understatement to make it the full cri de coeur that it is.
8) L'Enfance, Jacques Brel. A rough translation of this short, aching ballad: "Childhood. / It's nothing much with recklessness added. / It's all that hasn't been written down. / The grownups are deserters / the middle class an enemy tribe."
9) Judique on the Floor, Buddy MacMaster. The greatest living Cape Breton fiddler, he plays with the naturalness of a born singer. You feel as if the instrument is a proxy for his entire being. This is traditional dance hall music, playful, casual and from a deep common well — the kind of effortless mastery you reach for when writing, but rarely obtain.
10) Block Ice & Propane, Erik Friedlander. Cello solos about traveling around the country with his parents as a boy. These compositions come at you with improvisational energy at one moment and liturgical dignity at the next. Some are like short stories, others like poems, with names like "Airstream Envy," "Rusting in Honeysuckle" and "Cold Chicken."

Davos talk turns to the value of human experience in the workplace5 Comments
For several years, a common thread of conversation at Davos has wound around the dramatic changes that technology and data are bringing to all aspects of our lives and work. The disruptive effects of the rise of the robots, as some like to describe it. Despite all the advantages new technology brings, it has been a conversation interwoven with concerns for the overall impact on employment levels and on the types of work people can do. Now those are real concerns, but I like to be optimistic. This year, more than ever before, we're hearing the counterpart to that disruptive technology story. We're hearing about the rapidly growing understanding of the importance of a positive human experience in the workplace. The premium value of a mutually beneficial relationship between new technology and new work-styles, and how that drives innovation, productivity, employee satisfaction and performance.
We chose human experience in the workplace as the theme for our JLL Davos 2018 panel discussion this morning, an event that featured as an affiliated part of the wider World Economic Forum program. Thanks to an uplifting and thoroughly engaging discussion among our guest panellists – Bernard Tyson, Jo Ann Jenkins, Mara Swan and Farnam Jahanian – I started the day with a real spring in my step. As is also captured in JLL's new Future of Workplace research report, there is growing awareness of the means to create an inspiring and beneficial balance in the rapidly evolving workplace relationship between people and technology. Perhaps the robots are here to help us after all.
These are topics the World Economic Forum's annual meeting will continue to address in its wider agenda this week. How we integrate a rewarding working experience with changing technology is a vitally important part of this year's Davos theme of Creating a Shared Future in a Fractured World. In a world where the political direction of travel too often seems fragmented, there is a sense that business leaders understand more than ever the vital importance of a clear and motivational sense of purpose in their organisations. I'm looking forward to hearing many more viewpoints and ideas as the week progresses – and hopefully keeping a firm hold on that strong sense of optimism. I'll let you know how that goes in my next blog on Thursday.

The CrossFit Games
I didn't feel as if I could mention one without the other, and seeing as I have uploaded a post about CrossFit, I thought it would be a good idea to post one about the competition side of things – The CrossFit Games
What Are The CrossFit Games?
In the summer of 2007, The CrossFit Games was first established and it has been held every year since. The basic premise of the games is that they are a venue to determine who the Fittest of the Earth is and that all participants should be 'ready for anything'.
While there are many different competitions and events out there, none of them can rightly be called a true test of fitness, not in the same way that the CrossFit Games are.
What Do The CrossFit Games Involve?
The CrossFit Games involve a broad range of different functional movements that move large loads over long distances very quickly. The movements required and performed are the same that feature in CrossFit training sessions, though it should be noted that the games is not to train fitness, but to test it.
How Are The Games Organized?
The CrossFit Games should be seen as not just one event, but 3 steps on the same journey.
The Open is the first step on the CrossFit Games journey and is a worldwide, fully inclusive competition that lasts for 5 weeks and begins in springtime. Only the top athletes that compete successfully in the Open ca go through to the second step.
The Regionals is a live, 3 day competition which whittles down the competitors further to find the very best of the best who then get to take part in the actual CrossFit Games
The CrossFit Games
At the Games, the thousands of competitors that remain are then whittled down to just 100 of the fittest men and women from around the globe.
The Unknown and Unknowable
One of the key elements that organizers of the Games believe is the best way of testing fitness fairly is the knowable and unknown. Therefore the challenges set for each CrossFit Games is kept secret and competing athletes are only told a short time before they begin.
Events at the Games have also been known to feature some kind of surprise element, so there may be dusty hill sprints, sand bag carries to other things such as swimming in rough water with the addition of a softball throw.
The Current Champions: Who Could Beat Them?
As of the 2014 Games, the current champions and therefore fittest man and woman in the world are Rich Froning Jr. and Camille Leblanc-Bazinet.
Although the women's side of the Games has been an open playing field in the last few years, meaning virtually any of the top competitors could take Leblanc-Bazinet's title from her; with the men's the same can't really be said thanks to Froning's dominance the last few years. He won 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011 and came 2nd in 2009.

With a focus on instilling positive citizenship skills and delivering the highest quality in care, Big Day Out is fast becoming known one of the leading care and education services on the Sunshine Coast. We chat to centre operator Pam Maclean to find out more.
We are a high-quality care and education service with two centres on the Sunshine Coast – located at Peregian Springs and Peregian Breeze.
Both centres are designed, and purpose built to specifically cater to the needs of the children, with natural element playgrounds that encourage creative thinking and simple enjoyment of nature and the great outdoors.
We run a highly respected Approved Kindergarten Program. We also have our BDO Studio, built to offer a range of media for children to work with so they can practice thinking creatively. Much more than a simple 'Art Room', children can create, hypothesise, experiment, explore, use many new and recycled materials, and enjoy being creative. From time to time, we invite accomplished artists, sculptors, potters, inventors, recyclers and others to spend time in our studio working with children.
We provide all meals and have a chef on each site who creates healthy, nutritionally balanced meals, freshly cooked each day. Our menus are regularly audited by Nutrition Australia to ensure the right balance is provided for growing young brains.
Early education isn't just about learning to count. You might be able to count to 100 but then are too shy at Prep to put up your hand and try to answer a question! Therefore, we focus heavily on preparing our children to launch themselves into school life with confidence; filled with an excitement for learning and with enthusiasm for the new challenges ahead. We teach children to interact with peers and adults confidently and equip them with the social skills needed for a successful and happy school life.
We help children build a solid foundation of communication and language skills, so they are confident speaking to others, expressing their thoughts clearly, and able to play and share. We also teach them to be able to self-manage their day and be responsible for themselves.
Of course, we include the core elements of numeracy and literacy, but we place an emphasis on being a good citizen and a kind and thoughtful person, teaching children to always feel confident in themselves. Research has found that these are the things that will set them up to learn well.
Also critical is gaining parent involvement and engagement with our programs, as we go on this learning journey together with the children. Our parents really appreciate that we are part of the local community.
Quality is very important in early education. We work hard to provide best practice care and education in every area of activity. We have dedicated team members in every room who bring experience and knowledge far beyond that required. We have two Kindergarten teachers in the Kindy room, not just one. We have more resources, and more activities… all to ensure we provide a wonderful environment and the best in care and learning for our children.

CME taking an option on Linux
Though the financial services market in the US is in bailout mode this week - the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) is hedging its bets -- with Linux.
CME trades in options and derivatives though I like to think of them mostly in the context of commodities. CME Group also includes NYMEX in its group and in 2007 they traded a total of $1.2 quadrillion worth of contracts - that's not small potatoes.
Seeing as this is a group used to dealing with commodities and looking into futures, they chose not place their bets on Unix and/or Windows but rather on Linux. CME is now officially joining the Linux Foundation as well.
"Our Linux Foundation membership allows us to move beyond just being users of Linux to being participants in the direction of this important technology," said Kevin Kometer, Managing Director and Chief Information Officer of CME Group in a statement. "Joining the Linux Foundation and being deeply involved in Linux will also help the exchange determine the future use of our own technology."
Yet for CME and NYSE the use of Linux undoubtably has little to do with philosophy and everything to do with money. They figure they can insure their own future and save money in the present by running Linux. As well while Linux is available in Free community versions, there is little doubt that both CME and NYSE are paying vendors (in NYSE's case it's Red Hat) to support them as well. With Microsoft being a critical component of the NASDAQ, I'd be very surprised not to see Microsoft working hard to get Microsoft to be a poster child for Server 2008 and Microsoft. to show that Microsoft can compete.

'We had no idea so many marchers would suffer'
Peter de Waal
During the first Mardi Gras, before we reached King Cross, there was a sense of empowerment, of making a political statement, as well as fun, joy, frivolity, camaraderie as we moved down Oxford Street. When we came to Darlinghurst Road, Kings Cross, the police turned it into a riot. We had no idea that so many of the marchers would suffer in various ways: job loss, forced comings-out, police bashings, family breakups.
The parade has since lost its political and satirical strength. It is too commercial – large with a lot of glamour. There are very few individual entries now. A positive aspect, though, is that our community's diversity is really on display during the parade. The extraordinary number of events during the whole Mardi Gras festival are wonderful, inspirational, and such a bonus.
Where to now?
How are we going to mobilise our community to oppose the "religious freedom" issues that arose during the marriage equality debates? There are also pockets within western Sydney where our sisters and brothers are struggling with issues that we as a community encountered about 40 years ago. We need to reach out to them. I believe that transgender and intersex people experience a variety of issues to be dealt with. No doubt there are sisters and brothers among those who are held in detention like criminals at Manus Island and Nauru.
'The community can make a difference'
Steve Warren
Looking back at those momentous events on 24 June 1978 we never could have known where it would lead us. Thank goodness the actions all round on that night moved us forward to genuine law reform in our community's favour!
Even though the climate has improved somewhat I can't help but think that some of those who recently stood up for marriage equality also did so under tough circumstances, when public opinion was initially against us. It shows that the community can make a difference. Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has become a beacon for positive change! We now need to get back to those important grassroots community ties to consolidate this further.
Where to now?
Many things have changed for the better in Australia but we still have areas of discrimination to overcome, including transphobia and reducing suicide rates and depression and anxiety in our LGBTQI community. We mustn't forget how easy it is for rights to go backwards. This is reflected all around us internationally. Too many countries still have severe, harsh barriers to sexuality. We must stand up for them too. Our work is not over yet. The revolution continues!
'A celebration of our diversity, love and strength'
Titi Chartay
As a participant in the initial Mardi Gras in 1978 there are strong memories, powerful memories, sad memories and inspiring memories. The 1978 Mardi Gras, against so many odds and difficulties, with tenacity, humour and creativity, grew into the largest LGBTQI protest and celebration in the world. A celebration of our diversity, love and strength, a protest against ongoing injustice here in Australia and around the world. The legacy of the 78ers wasn't thwarted by violence nor the vindictive naming in the press of those arrested, leading to job loss, child custody threats, harassment etc.
Where to now?
I hope that young LGBTI people realise that they are not alone, that there is a community and a history that goes back to before 1978 waiting to embrace them.
'Mardi Gras has given hope to many young people'
Robyn Plaister
In 1978, we marched down Oxford Street, where all the gay bars were, and called out to those in the bars to join us: "Out of the bars and into the streets!" The march was in solidarity with our sisters and brothers overseas who were being discriminated against, and in particular, it was in memory of the raid made by police on Stonewall, in New York, where gay people fought back for the first time. We felt that more people, if educated about what we were protesting, and if it was done in a fun way, might join us in protest and swell our ranks.
Today's Mardi Gras is not how I would have imagined it would become in terms of the politics. As a woman, I found the Mardi Gras became all about men and their sexual freedom rather than fighting the wider concerns we had originally of homophobia, sexism and racism. Many lesbians left the Mardi Gras in droves at that time and although some men tried to attract women into the organising committee, it took a while before women would be involved. The politics of educating people to think differently and not just accept heteronormativity faded.
Now some of the floats take a political turn, however many are just advertising different lesbian and gay groups. The positive aspect of having Mardi Gras is that it increases our visibility and has given hope to many young or isolated lesbians and gay men who would not have seen or heard about all these groups. It has created an attitudinal change in the general public where they can see the fun side of being lesbian or gay and hopefully get educated about our concerns.
Where to now?
Marriage equality has been good for some people, and before that the recognition of de facto couples. For some of us who are not interested in getting married or being recognised as de facto, some of the same fights still exist, such as ensuring that there is not covert discrimination against lesbians and gay men in the workforce, in education, in health.
We need to deliver appropriate services for older members of our community. There is still bullying of young gays and lesbians in schools which requires dedicated programs of education of teachers and students to stop discrimination. There needs to be more education about sexism and racism within the movement, too.

The UNICEF Kinderfreundliche Gemeinde, Commune Amie des Enfants, Comune Amico dei Bambini (Child Friendly Community) initiative has been active since 2004.
The Initiative aims to ensure the right of children to participate, be protected, supported and treated as equals in their everyday lives. This is reflected in how these rights are implemented in the following areas: administration and politics; education; family life; child and youth protection; health; and leisure and environment.
The initiative demonstrates, among other things, a municipality's development potential, contributes to the networking of various stakeholder groups within the municipality and makes the municipality more attractive to families.
A municipality wishing to be recognized as child-friendly must follow certain steps. It must conduct a local situation analysis based on a questionnaire developed by the Initiative's working group and convene workshops to include the perspective of children and youth. It must then develop a plan of action based on information gained from the situation analysis and workshops. Progress made against the objectives in the plan are assessed by external evaluators and representatives of UNICEF Switzerland during an evaluation day in the municipality.
If the evaluation is favourable, the municipality is recognized as being child-friendly. The recognition is valid for a period of four years with a review conducted after two years. UNICEF offers guidance and support to participating municipalities throughout the process.
As of 2017, 30 municipalities, including the capital city of Bern, have received child-friendly city recognition – 10 of these have been recertified. The Initiative is supported by seven cantons: Aargau, Basel-Landschaft, Bern, Luzern, Schaffhausen, Solothurn, and St. Gallen.

Innok TX
Tax Calculation
Australian customers please note that the prices are tax exclusive. A 10% Australia wide GST will be added at the checkout.
Shipping costs:
All orders over AUD $100 qualify for free shipping.
The Innok TX is a six wheeled robotic platform well suited for outdoor use. Equipped with independent suspension and reaching maximum speeds up to 10 m/s it shows its strengths especially in the open terrain.
Innok Robotics configures your Innok TX according to your custom requirements. No matter if on-board PC, sensors or actors: You can simply choose from a number of additional equipment just as you like.
You may also integrate your own hardware by mounting it to the industry-standard aluminum profiles at the vehicle body. The incorporated power supply provides the voltages you need.
Afterwards you control the Innok TX by using the built-in CAN Bus which also makes a range of measured data accessible.
Innok TX – Next generation robotic platform
The Innok TX uses a novel concept for robotic platforms. It is equipped with an elaborate suspension and can reach speeds up to 10 m/s and more, owing to its drivetrain. Thus, it is interesting for research areas and applications where conventional robotic platforms were not fast enough up to now.
This is made possible by one gearless hub motor within each of the six wheels. Every motor is provided with its own independent and freely configurable controller. For use at high speeds this allows the implementation of a vehicle dynamics control which can manipulate every single wheel independently.
In order to get the most out of the motors the Innok TX uses a system which adapts the engines to the required load. In continuous operation the motor temperatures are kept at a safe level. However, temporarily the motor controllers can demand a many times higher amount of torque than in continous operation. This fuzzy logic control dynamically adapts output power without any hard switchover. As a result, for a limited time you can call an impressive power of up to 2.4 kW and a total torque of up to 12 Nm. Nevertheless, the Innok TX can move almost silently due to its gearless motors.
How to work with the Innok TX
The vehicle-internal communication is based on a CAN Bus (CAN 2.0A), which is used to manage the motor controllers. Additionally, it delivers all vehicle information like cartesian odometric data, speeds and motor currents. The bus can be accessed by an externally mounted USB port.
If you choose the optional on-board PC (order no. IR-INTTX0B01), you get a ready to use system with pre-installed Robot Operating System (ROS). You can connect to the robot wired or wireless via (W-)LAN and run your
algorithms directly on the Innok TX.
Integrate your own hardware in no time
Simply mount your own hardware to the standard aluminum profile rails with a groove dimension of 5 mm which is compatible with common profile rail systems like those from Bosch or Item. With the optional mounting kit (order no. IR-MOKTXC000) you receive a set of profile rails of different lengths and numerous connectors which you can mount in any way you want to attach your hardware to the Innok TX even quicker. The integrated power distribution system offers you regulated voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V as well as the battery voltage.
System integration by Innok Robotics
On request, Innok Robotics performs the complete integration of sensor technology onto the Innok TX. Simply chose from various components like laserscanners, ultrasonic sensors or IP cameras. For a list of components offered for integration by Innok Robotics.
A powerful suspension ensures optimal performance
In order to protect your components from shocks even at high speeds the Innok TX has a fully spring-borne independent suspension. The supplemental oil pressure shock absorbers ensure the wheels' contact to the ground at any time. The suspension offers a special kinematic system which acts contrary to lateral body roll to keep the vehicle upright even in hard turns at high speeds.
The lightweight and robust aluminum chassis of the Innok TX is especially designed for the potential of the drivetrain and the resulting speeds and forces. You can exactly adapt the Innok TX to your needs by its independently adjustable suspension with a range of spring of up to 80 mm. Thus, you stay completely free referring to maximum weight, weight distribution, traversed ground and preferred speed. For special requirements Innok Robotics offers dimensioning of the springs for a defined case of application (order no. IR-INTTX0F01).
Since driving fast is most fun outdoors...
As a fast robotic platform for outdoor use the Innok TX is protected against intrusion of water and dust by type of protection IP54. From asphalt to sand, forest and field soils right up to mud and snow the Innok TX can drive on various grounds. With its chassis clearence of 133 mm it can even pass higher obstacles without getting stuck. Especially due to its high speeds the Innok TX opens up plenty of new potential applications which were not imaginable with other robotic platforms up to now. By a number of upgrade options with different hardware components you can customize your Innok TX or you simply integrate your own hardware.

Unfinished because an important piece, the graphics card is missing, guess what with z170 coming and a slight cost overrun on account of cooler will have to wait for a month or so.
Just as was about to commit to buying z97, z170 was announced and I decided to go for the new platform. Surprisingly parts in India were available at about the same time as rest of the world(except for DDR4 memory). One reason of delay on my part was the question of how to migrate to Windows 10. One very surprising thing - - when I was resigned to do a fresh install (since my earlier socket was 775), due to some reason I booted straight into my hard drive and my old (775 based) windows 7 operating system. Of course the display resolution etc was bad but after installation of new (z170 based) drivers everything worked ok. No need for fresh install. The problem happened when migrating to win 10, I was successful only after 3/4 attempts. At one point the installation got stuck for more then half hour you have to be patient and see it through. After all that I had to spend another half hour chatting with Microsoft to activate win 10.
Just added Asus STRIX GTX 960 graphics card.
Just added Samsung 950 pro 256GB. See part review below for more details.
Part Reviews
No cooler here so the actual cost of possession is quiet higher compared to let's say 4690k, good standard processor not yet overclocked.
CPU Cooler
Easy to install back plate and radiator, while putting in the pump have to apply a little force to the pipes. For this particular case (NZXT S340) I did not want hot air blowing over mobo, but this meant the top fan would have to be pushing air in the case and because the case has no filter on the top side I settled the pull push way. The pump whines loudly at 100% speed, even a little less i.e @90% the pump and fans are silent, I have seen to it that 100% kicks in only at 70 degrees.
Nice mobo with led, without any additional tpu epu switches for additional confusion. For the heck of it used the new gizmo processor installation tool, there is no way you can get the processor inside the tool without touching the pins on the back, but was ok, and you get a solid location over the socket. Sadly they are not giving the Q connector.
Good to look, good to overclock, no problem working at the displayed speed.
Historically I was using MBR disk and when windows 10 came the samsung clone software made the 950 pro also into an MBR disk. My boot times were far from satisfactory. However benchmark tests did show that I got almost all the speeds as advertised. Finally decided to clean install windows 10 (and GPT). And what a difference in boot time that made. A few mobo settings needs to be tweaked else everything is auto.
Nice solid case for the price. The side panels feel solid. But there are a few gripes, the plastic window is very easily scratchable. Hard drive installation is possible only one side (screws from the front). Even the SSD mounting is not possible using an L connector as it interferes (at least with my SSD) other then that wire routing, looks etc was superb.
