The Golden Games is proud to announce our partnership with Trout Unlimited and American Whitewater. It is our mission to raise awareness and expand the reach of these organizations for future service related missions.
With over 150,000 volunteers, we work to conserve, protect and restore North America's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. Today Trout Unlimited is a national organization with more than 150,000 volunteers organized into about 400 chapters from Maine to Montana to Alaska. This dedicated grassroots army is matched by a respected staff of lawyers, policy experts and scientists, who work out of more than 30 offices nationwide. These conservation professionals ensure that TU is at the forefront of fisheries restoration work at the local, state and national levels.
Founded in 1954, American Whitewater is a national non-profit organization (Non-profit # 23-7083760) with a mission "to conserve and restore America's whitewater resources and to enhance opportunities to enjoy them safely." American Whitewater is a membership organization representing a broad diversity of individual whitewater enthusiasts, river conservationists, and more than 100 local paddling club affiliates across America. The organization is the primary advocate for the preservation and protection of whitewater rivers throughout the United States, and connects the interests of human-powered recreational river users with ecological and science-based data to achieve the goals within its mission.
Here at the Golden Games, we are very thankful for all of the volunteers that make this event happen. We really couldn't do it without you.

Community water fluoridation in the United States has a 65-year record of success in improving dental health.
With so much information available today, it's not always easy to distinguish the facts from fiction.
With fluoridation, it's easy. Nearly every reputable organization that has studied fluoridation concludes that it is safe, natural and effective. These sources include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Surgeon General's office, the American Dental Association and nearly all health and disease management organizations.
The truth about fluoride:
- Fluoridation reduces dental decay by up to 40 percent. 11
- Fluoride helps control and heal early signs of tooth decay. Teeth especially benefit when they are exposed to a tiny and regular supply of fluoride (water fluoridated at 1 part per million).
- Fluoride levels found in fluoridated water are well within the safe levels issued by the United States Public Health Service and Environmental Protection Agency.
- All water sources naturally contain fluoride. Fluoridation is the adjustment of a water source's fluoride content to the level proven for optimal dental health.
- Fluoridation is regarded by experts as one of the most effective public health measures a community can take.
To make sure you're getting factual information from reputable sources, review the full list of endorsing organizations.
Scientific Reviews: Assessing the Weight of the Evidence
Reviews of scientific literature are an important resource to judge the safety of community water fluoridation. Scientific reviews are helpful because they:
Consider evidence from published studies on a subject.
Use carefully-designed methods to critically examine scientific evidence.
Use national and international panels of experts in various health and scientific disciplines. This includes experts that may come from fields outside of oral health; such as, medicine, biophysics, chemistry, toxicological pathology, and epidemiology.
Judge the quality of individual studies and summarize the strength of the entire body of evidence.
Identify and summarize research gaps and make recommendations for further research.
Scientific and pubic health organizations have conducted scientific reviews about fluoridation during the past two decades. These reviews provide compelling evidence that community water fluoridation is a safe and effective method for reducing tooth decay across all ages.
To review the Scientific Reviews, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention web site on this topic.

The laughter was insatiable in the warm sunlit afternoon. The rocks drew blood before the eyes. Innocence in belonging bent as the spokes of the first volley thrown,to forever engrave upon the souls mortal existence. Only to play and seek out friends on such a wonderfully sunny day. Rubber tires not needing air,extra wheels would stabilize the load. A red frame so shiny and new,to venture out upon the world. Motherly kindness felt with warmth and joy,setting out under a wondrous blue sky. Greet the very real and physical stones hurled on the innocence of beginning. Such a course that would not change,the reality now set. Then the laughter from the happy ones,holding hands of mental embrace,the first ambulance arrives. Death not this time,the lesson will go on. The scars on the forehead heal,as they penetrate the bone. The aura has been altered for all the world to see. The moon waxes full repeats beyond 30 score,as reality remains. She was kind in her heart as the truth unveiled itself ,witness to the passage that was meant to be,relentlessly unfolding. Love's presence struggles the heals of rejection and scorn. Conformity as cover up,stripped away in time. Snickering on bubbly brew for the privy to partake. Kindness of the mortal man, transparent to the witness mind. Belief in what is not , blood red again to the mirror of the eye. When the blackness shines the light on the pathway that has been,where will the stones then lie?Are they buried within,fossilized proof for the baggage claim?

Posted on Thursday 13 June 2013 by Ulster Business
There is the worrying prospect of an uncertain four-year debate, until 2017, on whether the UK electorate can be offered renegotiated relationships within the EU in a choice on whether to remain part of the continuing EU.
Northern Ireland will play a small part in the wider debate. Logically Northern Ireland has strong reasons for wanting to find an agreed renegotiation so that the UK remains in the EU.
The debate about whether the UK should remain within the EU is much more complex than a straightforward 'in-out' choice. The least satisfactory prospect is of a four year debate that generates enhanced antagonism between the UK Government and the other European governments.
The easier part of a renegotiated arrangement would be to maintain a full trading common market, for goods and services, linked to a framework that ensured that the trading arrangements functioned in a 'level playing field'. Agreeing on the conditions for a level playing field, including competition rules for goods, services and people may be more difficult.
The inherent contradiction in any renegotiation is the strain between (a) the UK government wishing to have authority to make its own decisions and avoid unwelcome EU decisions and (b) the need for an EU mechanism acceptable to 27 countries.
If a decision by the UK to leave the EU lacked the degree of goodwill needed to minimise the disruption of the decision this might create a fractious departure which would be the worst possible outcome. Despite any reservations, the status quo would be preferable to that outcome.
There are many uncertainties influencing the debate. What are the features of EU membership that are most unacceptable? What EU legislation or rules are unnecessary and should be removed? The usual complaints tend to be generic by referring to undue Brussels interference, bureaucratic procedures and/or excessive costs of the EU mechanisms and the cost of the EU budget.
To create a sensible debate, vague generic dislikes should not be allowed to dominate discussion. Specific identified concerns would help the debate and might, in their articulation, help to reach an amicable renegotiation.
Two critical assumptions might be made to narrow down the scope of the EU debate.
First, there is no expectation that the UK will be asked to join the 17/18 countries that have adopted the Euro as a common currency. That prospect has gone. The Euro mechanisms have not yet been developed within a sufficiently developed monetary policy framework.
Second, if the UK does vote to leave the EU, the current free trade (tariff free) access to the EU countries could be expected to remain in place. Even with an acrimonious UK departure, restoring tariff walls is not a likely option.
These assumptions might encourage the response that, with the UK outside the EU, there could be minimal impact on the UK economy. That looks deceptive.
The risks of such a passive attitude lie in the emerging perception of the UK as an outsider to the larger EU economies. The UK economy, outside the EU, would have a diminishing influence. If the UK was separated from the decision making Councils and Parliament, the UK influence would become similar to that of Norway or Switzerland.
A critical feature for the UK Government is the way in which it intends to ask for a renegotiation of aspects of the EU Treaties. Is this a renegotiation solely from a UK perspective, in which only UK interests are identified? Alternatively, is this a renegotiation so that other Member States might see advantage for the whole EU in making agreed changes?
In other words, is the UK bid an effort to make the EU function more acceptable for each Government? There are some signs that this more constructive approach might attract wider support, including the German Government.
A constructive approach to renegotiation would reduce the impact of EU policies which are accepted as going beyond the logic of the original Treaty of Rome and the later Maastricht refinements. The renegotiation will have more chance of success if there continues to be agreement that the EU should ensure a well ordered common EU market. Selective opt-outs to suit a small number of Member States but at the price of disadvantaging others would be unlikely to succeed.
There are some EU policies which have Community-wide logic even when individual states disagree. Effective Common Fisheries Policies should offer collective benefit even when some countries wish otherwise. The (so-called) Social Chapter with its implications for working conditions has a core logic yet has dimensions that might be amended, including the Working Time Directive.
The EU multinational trade negotiations are a form of mutual protection. The emerging Community patent legislation is a useful shared benefit.
There is some misunderstanding of the relationship of the EU with the questions of Human Rights. The European Convention on Human Rights is separate and not affected by EU agreements.
Northern Ireland will take part in the EU debate with considerable direct and indirect interests.
The direct interests include:
• Arrangements that optimise the ability to attract foreign direct investment leading to increased employment and earnings.
• Agreed rules and procedures to avoid unfair competition in State Aids with other EU regions.
• Access and support for agriculture and the export of farming and food products.
If the UK were to leave the EU, the UK, including Northern Ireland, would risk becoming less attractive as a location of inward business investment. This could be particularly significant if the Republic of Ireland remains a full EU member.
Although in Northern Ireland there are sometimes complaints that the EU rules on State Aid restrict the ability to compete with other regions (by imposing ceilings on the permitted levels of State Aid for new investment), if Northern Ireland was outside the EU and better able to offer higher State Aid, this poses the risk of a competitive bidding situation where taxpayers pay more in a less disciplined process.
One of the largest concerns for Northern Ireland, if the UK leaves the EU, would be the consequence of the removal of, or substantial adjustment to, the Common Agriculture Policy. There is a risk that the interest of the UK Government to reduce the cost of the CAP would be contrary to the interests of local farming and food exports.
From a Northern Ireland perspective, which would not be identical with the perspective in GB, the debate on EU membership has short-term disadvantages and longer-term threats. In the short-term, the rebuilding of the local economy will be adversely affected by several years of uncertainty about the outcome of the renegotiation.
In the longer-term, the emerging differences with the Republic of Ireland, if the UK leaves the EU, are likely to work to Northern Ireland's disadvantage. Even more fundamental, if the UK moves to a marginal position with less influence on the wider European economies, that marginalisation would be to the disadvantage of the UK in general and Northern Ireland in particular.

By Benjamin A. Comm, Senior Managing Director
As an industry, commercial real estate is constantly evolving. Our demographics, culture, technology and work patterns have drastically progressed from previous decades. Property Management in particular has undergone profound changes during the past 20 years—green initiatives, budget and financial software improvements and advances in building comfort, to name a few.
Even though change is a variable, three key management principles will always remain static:
- Meet ownership objectives while keeping tenants happy. This simple concept is the key to successfully managing a third-party assignment. Sometimes you are navigating through some treacherous waters as tenant demands may collide with ownership goals or financial restrictions, but diplomacy usually solves these problems.
- Curb appeal, curb appeal, curb appeal! Have a keen understanding of your building's equipment, operations and appearance. It is vital you notice everything—whether it is when you are walking into the building in the morning or during a formal monthly inspection. It is always good to do at least one nightly inspection on a monthly basis. Also, this practice goes for record keeping and building files—an inspection a day keeps the auditor away!
- Maximizing revenue and minimizing expense. Use all the technology at your disposal to reach financial and operational goals. Hiring management and engineering staff with an ownership perspective and a dedication to the property is essential in meeting financial goals.
While we cannot predict the changes in store for the real estate industry, we can focus on refining our knowledge of property management basics. Once these skills come naturally, we can easily take whatever the future of commercial real estate holds in stride.
Ben joined Cushman and Wakefield in January 2009. He is responsible for ensuring that the firm's best practices are implemented and overseeing consistent delivery of property management services.

Behind the cut you will find my favourite pictures of the ones I took throughout 2005, limited to one per month.
Here you go:
Late afternoon at Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver
This was one of those pictures that turned out exactly the way I hoped it would, after I put a lot of effort into figuring out the settings I needed for the picture. Taken with the Canon A1, 200 speed film. I never wrote down the settings otherwise.
Sunset from Grouse Mountain
The clouds are high, the sun is setting on the ocean, and the light is reflecting between the two. The Grouse skyride tower is to the left, and you can see West Vancouver below on the side of the mountain. Taken with the Canon A400 digital point & shoot.
Fog Bank of Doom
The ships are anchored in English Bay, and the fog is creeping across the ocean to take over Point Grey and the University of British Columbia. In the distance you can see the mountains of Vancouver Island. Taken with the Canon A1, 200 speed film.
Dayle Lounging
I have taken hundreds of pictures of Dayle, but this one is my favourite. It really captures him well, and the lighting was just perfect. I was very happy with it. Taken with the Canon A1, 200 speed film.
Giant Moth
Jordy found this huge moth on the pavement near the skyride for Grouse Mountain. I was very happy with the shallow depth of field with this one, and the fact that even though it was dark out, I managed not to have too much camera shake. I think it was at about 1/30th of a second for the exposure. Taken with the Canon A1, 200 speed film.
A seabird at Lighthouse Park
I just liked the moment that I captured with this one. Taken with the Canon A1, 200 speed film.
Canada Place in the sunlight
Taken on a boat cruise around Burrard Inlet, using the Canon A400. I just liked the framing and the sunlight reflecting off the buildings downtown.
Okay, this wouldn't have been my first choice, but I don't seem to actually have all of my photos from August because a lot of them are stored on Adam's parents' computer in New Liskeard, and I don't have copies of them. Taken with the Canon 20D, one of the first ones I took with the new camera.
Landscape of mountains and trees in Squamish
This is probably one of my favourite pictures I've taken all year. This was taken on a mountain biking trip in Garibaldi Provincial Park, along one of the logging roads. Taken with the Canon 20D.
Seaplane in the skies above Burrard Inlet
The texture of the sky in this one was very pretty. I actually took this through the window of the Seabus on the way in to work one morning. Taken with the Canon 20D.
Fog and sunlight near the Capilano River
We went for a hike on a foggy day around the Capilano River and the fish hatchery. There was just enough sunlight breaking through the fog to paint everything in a surreal light. Taken with the Canon 20D.
The AIDS Memorial
Taken one morning after I dropped Adam off at work – the reason I love this one as much as I do is because I set it up very precisely with a specific effect in mind. I was extremely happy when I came home and looked at it, realizing that it was exactly the impact I was trying for. Again with the shallow depth of field… Taken with the Canon 20D.

1992 Toyota Paseo 1.5 DOHC 16v EFI from North America
Best car EVAR which it was still in production
Nothing has gone wrong on it (yet), and I hope this car will be a lot better than my crappy Accent.
General Comments:
Best ever sporty, sexy, speedy, and manual FTW!!!
I use to own a 2001 Hyundai Accent GS with a 1.5 SOHC 12V engine, which was gutless compared to the Paseo, and it only generated 89HP. Also the transmission was automatic and was starting to fail on me; it was practically going into neutral by itself and staying stuck in 3rd gear; how crappy is that? So I traded it with the Paseo.
My family except my older brother thought I was crazy to trade a 2001 with a 1992. Well Toyota has a lot of quality compared to a Hyundai, and my Accent had about 163000, 2 years of ownership equals 2 year in hell. I never really liked that car, but the Paseo is a whole different story.
The only major thing I did to it was an oil change when I got it, and to swap the cassette AM/FM to a Pioneer CD player, which I had on my Hyundai (I put back the original CD player before trading it teehee!). Also the Hyundai car key broke in the driver's side door handle, when in fact the key was made of weak white metal, and it bent in my pocket, seriously!!!
So... yeah the Paseo is great, sporty, and sexy... man I could go all day commenting on that car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

High-frequency sound waves help your doctor see the arteries and kidneys and check their function. This procedure also helps your doctor find blockages in the blood vessels and measure their severity. Computerized tomography (CT) scan. During a CT scan, an X-ray machine linked to a computer creates a detailed image that shows cross-sectional images of the renal arteries. You may receive a dye injection to show blood flow. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). MRA uses radio waves and strong magnetic fields to produce detailed 3-D images of the renal arteries and kidneys. A dye injection into the arteries outlines blood vessels during imaging. Renal arteriography. This special type of X-ray exam helps your doctor find the blockage in the renal arteries and sometimes open the narrowed part with a balloon and stent. Before an X-ray is taken, your doctor injects a dye into the renal arteries through a long, thin tube (catheter) to outline the arteries and show blood flow more clearly. This test is often performed at the time of restoring the blood vessel opening with a stent. TreatmentTreatment for renal artery stenosis may involve lifestyle changes, medication or a procedure. Sometimes a combination of treatments is the best approach. Depending on your overall health and symptoms, observation may be all that you need. Lifestyle changesIf your blood pressure is moderately or severely elevated, you may need to make certain lifestyle changes, such as: Maintain a healthy weight or lose weight if you're overweight Eat healthy foods Limit salt in your diet Be physically active Reduce your stress levels Drink alcohol or caffeinated beverages in moderation, if at all Don't smoke MedicationHigh blood pressure — even when mainly related to renal artery stenosis — often can be successfully treated with medications. Finding the right medication or combination of medications may require time and patience. Some medications commonly used to treat high blood pressure associated with renal artery stenosis include: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which help relax your blood vessels and block the formation or effects of a natural body chemical called angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels Diuretics, also known as water pills, which help your body eliminate excess sodium and water Beta blockers and alpha-beta blockers, which may have the effect of making your heart beat slowly and less forcefully or widening (dilating) your blood vessels, depending on which medication you use Calcium channel blockers, which help relax blood vessels If atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of renal artery stenosis, your doctor may also recommend aspirin and a cholesterol-lowering medication. Which medications are best for you depends on your individual situation. ProceduresFor certain people — for instance, those with uncontrolled high blood pressure and a complication such as pulmonary edema or worsening kidney function — a procedure may be recommended to restore blood flow through the renal artery and improve blood flow (perfusion) to the kidney. Procedures to treat renal artery stenosis may include: Renal angioplasty and stenting. In this procedure, doctors open wider the narrowed renal artery and place a device inside your blood vessel that holds the walls of the vessel open and allows for better blood flow. Renal artery bypass surgery. During a bypass procedure, doctors graft a substitute blood vessel to the renal artery to make a new route for blood to reach your kidneys. Sometimes this means connecting the renal artery to a vessel from somewhere else, such as the liver or spleen. Recent results from clinical trials that compared renal angioplasty and stenting with medication alone didn't show a difference between the two treatment approaches on reducing high blood pressure and improving kidney function for patients with moderate renal artery stenosis. Utilizing procedures to open the vessel should be considered for people who fail medical therapy alone. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Lifestyle and home remediesAs a part of your treatment plan for renal artery stenosis, your doctor may recommend making certain lifestyle changes: Maintain a healthy weight. When your weight increases, so does your blood pressure. If you're overweight, even losing 10 pounds may help to lower your blood pressure. Restrict salt in your diet. Salt and salty foods cause your body to retain fluid. This may increase the volume of your blood and, in turn, increase your blood pressure. Be physically active. Being physically active on a regular basis may help you lose weight, lower your risk of heart disease, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure. Check with your doctor before beginning an exercise program, especially if you have high blood pressure and haven't been active in the past. Reduce stress. Stress can increase your blood pressure temporarily. This increase varies, depending on your level of stress and how your body reacts to it. Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all. Too much alcohol may increase your blood pressure. Don't smoke. Tobacco injures blood vessel walls and speeds up the process of hardening of the arteries. If you smoke, ask your doctor to help you quit. Preparing for your appointmentFor renal artery stenosis, you may start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels (cardiologist) or kidneys (nephrologist), particularly if blood pressure is difficult to control or kidney function worsens. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, as well as what to expect from your doctor. What you can doTo prepare for your appointment: Write down symptoms you have, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment. Make a list of all medications, vitamins and supplements that you take, including dosages. Be prepared to report key medical information to your doctor, including past or current smoking or use of other tobacco products. Ask a family member or friend to come along. Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all of the information provided to you during an appointment. Someone who accompanies you may remember something that you missed or forgot. Write down questions to ask your doctor. For renal artery stenosis, some basic questions to ask your doctor include: What's the most likely cause of my symptoms? Are there any other possible causes for my symptoms? What kinds of tests do I need? Do these tests require any special preparation? Is this condition temporary or long lasting? What treatments are available, and which do you recommend? What side effects can I expect from treatment? I have other health conditions. How can I best manage them together? Do I need to follow any dietary restrictions? What about activity restrictions? Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing for me? What's the appropriate level for my blood pressure? Is there anything I can do to help bring it down? Do you have any printed material that I can take with me? What websites do you recommend? In addition to the questions that you've prepared, don't hesitate to ask other questions as they occur to you during your appointment.

In this post we will see how to build "pinch to zoom" functionality to zoom in an image in RubyMotion.
First let's add a
UIViewController that is initialized with an image.
UIScrollView and UIImageView
Now, we will add a
UIScrollView with frame size set to full screen size and some other properties as listed below.
Create a new
UIImageView and add it to the scrollView created above.
We are setting the image view's content mode to
UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit. Content mode can be set to either
UIViewContentModeAspectFill or
UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit depending on what suits your app. By default,
contentMode property for most views is set to
UIViewContentModeScaleToFill, which causes the view's contents to be scaled to fit the new frame size. This Apple doc explains this behavior.
We need to add the above imageView as a subview to our scrollView.
This is how our controller looks with all the above additions.
ScrollView delegate
We must set a delegate for our scroll view to support zooming. The delegate object must conform to the
UIScrollViewDelegate protocol. This is the reason we are setting scrollView.delegate = self above. The delegate class must implement
viewForZoomingInScrollView and
scrollViewDidZoom methods.
These two methods added above allow the scrollView to support pinch to zoom.
Supporting orientation changes
There is one more thing to do if we want to support orientations changes. We need to add the following methods:
We have to set the scrollView's frame to view bounds in
viewDidLayoutSubviews so that the scrollView frame is resized when the device orientation changes.
That's it. With all those changes now our app supports orientation change and now we are able to pinch and zoom images.

The market's need for true transformation is driving a competitive war that pits legacy business models against the innovators.
Forty years ago, juggernauts such as Accenture, CSC, HP/EDS, and IBM dominated the global services industry. Over time, they gave way to India-centric firms such as Cognizant, Infosys, and TCS. Now those Wall Street darlings find themselves pushed from the technology headlines by upstarts such as Blue Prism and IPsoft. Few predicted that IBM would report negative growth for the 17th consecutive quarter in April 2016. HP absorbed EDS and then, after moves to scale down the services business still fell short of expectations, split the company. It is now spinning the core services unit out and merging with CSC (who just completed splitting off its federal government business as it struggles to sustain profitable performance). The upstart-to-leading labor arbitrage-based firms (mostly India-centric) now face attack from automation solutions that threaten their core value levers. The landscape is anything but static.
Meanwhile, customers thirst for more flexible, agile service solutions, embracing pricing constructions that align their spending with consumption and often accelerate value capture by orders of magnitude.
The picture is anything but business as usual. The dynamic landscape represents a battle of business models that has emerged over the last decade and is accelerating as customers drive to tap the benefits that some new approaches deliver. Prospering in this vibrant environment requires nimble service providers that eagerly challenge the core of what created their legacy success. Failure to recognize that business models change, or just tweaking legacy practices, is perilous, as customers (and shareowners) vote with their wallets.
As keen observers of the global services marketplace, we watch enterprise customers' rising expectations of their service providers, whether they are internal or third parties. Clearly, the principles of theoretical economics are playing out. Service providers are either changing to meet the evolving needs of their customers, or their customers are turning to non-traditional players that have turned their approaches to new market realities.

2016 Review
It seems that those with a blog are obliged to write a review of the year type blog post. This I was not aware of, I must have missed that when reading the small print, so I don't really have any notes to write my 2016 Review from, so in typically sporadic sub style, I present…
2016 Review – The personal shiz
I suppose the main news this year is that the baby goes from strength to strength, now discharged from 1 of the 3 specialist clinics they were under, and a second not wanting us to take them back until started at school, the main change 2016 saw was considerably fewer hospital trips than the previous 2 years. We have been really lucky, some parents we met on our hospital merry-go-round have been considerably less lucky than us.
M seems to be recovering well from the trauma she suffered, and although it's meant a change in career and a sizeable cut to our income, she is much happier than she been in a long time, and money isn't everything, even if it does buy an awful lot.
My own health has been up down & round and round. The big change is the diagnosis that I have a sleeping disorder, and the treatment I am now receiving which means I'm getting at least 6 hours decent sleep most nights – looking back, I had no idea how bloody knackered I was and no idea how on earth I kept going.
Ummm, there was pizza, some ice cream, some rants, some stuff about movember and a give away or two.
Pretty boring year really.
2016 Review – Blogs & Flogs
2016 will always be the year I launched subsmissives.com, which was supposed to be, well actually I don't know what it was supposed to be, and I don't really know what it is nor what it will become. What I can tell you is that it's been bloody tricky – it has triggered some poor mental health for me, and I've almost quit a couple of times. The fact is though, that I enjoy trying, typing and tweeting, so I'm going to carry on. My friend LSB at littleswitchbitch.com has helped me through the worthless feelings, and thanks to companies like Knicker Rocker Glory, fellow blogger Ella, and my lovely twitter followers I'm beginning to believe I have worth as a writer.
I was pleased to make it into the kinkly sex blogging superheroes, but missing out on other lists was a bit gutting; I'm still confused about how I feel about such rankings. There was much talk at the time, which I tried not to get involved in but umm yeah, moving on…
My most viewed post of the year is actually the Through the Curtains erotica, which caught me by surprise. The most popular review has been the satisfyer, which I suppose is reflective of the innovations in the sextoy industry in 2016. My personal favourite is the spank test – but then I have always been a fan of flogging, spanking and general hittiness.
Special thanks to MEO, Sextoys.co.uk and latex leather & lace for sending me awesome products this year; looking forward to working with you chaps some more in 2017.
Best of the best award goes to the Alpha Male 3, whilst the wooden spoon goes to Sqweel XT.
2016 Review – looking forward
I'm hoping for a bumper year ahead. Certainly on the review front, things are looking promising, with toys from mystery vibe, we-vibe, tantus, loveyourselfonline, Velvet Fleurs, #teamamazeballs already sitting in my cupboard. With luck, I should have something for you from The Slinky Minx, Desirables and Forbidden Pleasures too.
I'm hoping that as baby grows older we might have some in-depth FemDomme stories to share with you too, and having recently received a strap-on kit from an anonymous benefactor you should probably keep your eyes open for a pegging story at some point.
Fun Factory remain at the top of our wish list for 2017, Tiger & Bouncer dildos cause heart eye emoji. The Squeeze Swan Curve from BMS, Jopen & Spiritus round off our new desires for 2017. We want to try more materials – I've just bought a stone dildo, and hope to have some ceramic for you soon, and metal is always a wantwantwant – a hook is next on our must try list.
I'm quite enjoying writing erotic fiction, although I'm still very much finding my feet here, so there may be more if time allows. The last thing I hope is that there might be more joint working and collaboration in 2017.
Thank you, dearest reader for your support in 2017. Wishing you peace and good health for the new year.

Former Auburn University professor turned priest busted in massive Alabama child porn sting
Episcopal priest Rev. Michael Glenn Rich was one of two men arrested in a state operation to nab child predators.
According to AL.com, Rich was once a well-respected faith leader, but he is now charged with three counts of possession of child pornography.
Rich was an assistant professor at Auburn University before being ordained in 2006. He then took over the clergy position at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, but didn't become a priest
Rich was formerly an assistant professor of journalism at Auburn University. He was ordained May 31, 2006, as clergy in charge at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Jacksonville. In 2014 he took over as top priest for St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Birmingham.
"Our diocese is grieved by the arrest of Michael Rich," said Right Rev. John McKee Sloan said in a statement. "Upon learning of the charges against him, Rich was immediately suspended from the practice of ministry within the Episcopal Church, and proceedings under the disciplinary canons of our church have been initiated. The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Alabama are committed to guarding against sexual misconduct in all its ugly abusive forms. Our churches are united in proclaiming that our hope is in God, who created all that is, who redeems us from all of our selfish sinfulness, and who sustains and guides us, even in our darkest days."
Rich was arrested along with Thomas Morrison Hart Jr. as part of an operation by Alabama Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The investigation began Nov. 13.
Lt. Brook Walker, ICAC commander and commander of ALEA's Special Victims Unit explained that they received a tip about Rich and the investigation led to a search through his internet activity and that he had uploaded illicit images to the internet. After a search warrant was issued, he was found to have multiple images.
The investigation included a forensic analysis of his electronic devices and more charges are possible depending on that on-going investigation, Walker explained.

This program of on-the-ground conservation projects increased the wildlife and ecological values of forest communities on Minnesota's public forestlands. Restoration and enhancement projects in this program enhanced more than 10,000 acres of forest.
Water control structures and dikes were designed and constructed on six Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) in the counties of Becker, Clearwater, Itasca, Lincoln, Roseau, and Yellow Medicine. Dike work at Roseau River WMA protects and enhances 3200 acres of wetlands wetlands in Pool 2 of the WMA. Roseau River WMA has 10 large water control structures, seven moist soil cells, and four large pools covering 11,800 acres. Cells for a moist soil unit were constructed at Lac Qui Parle WMA in Lac Qui Parle County.
We protected 22.3 miles of trout streams and 1.3 miles of lakeshore via easements (585 acres in total), and 7.4 miles (504 acres) of lakeshore through fee-title purchase. We enhanced shoreline habitat on 524 acres of riparian land, and instream habitat on 3.1 miles of trout streams and 0.5 miles of warmwater rivers.

Drug Consultative Committee (DCC) in its last meeting on Febuary 15 -- has approved the proposal that for every strip of medicine available in India ought to have a 2D bar code and a unique randomly generated numeric code (UID).
This will have various repercussions:
Among many, i feel the biggest repercussion would be that this will make the cut strips retailing a problem. The onus now will be on patient (as it is).
This may make it more unaffordable for patients to buy the medicines in short trenches.
Also as a lot of antibiotics need to be changed keeping in mind the prognosis of patient, the cut strips act as a cost saving for these patients as the unsused cut strip is taken back by the retailer. This facility though not ideal acts as a boon for the lower segment of patients in terms of cost savings, and helps the retailers too to sell to others. Many times the policy of whole strip retail leaves the patient in a lot of problem as the leftover strip is wasted (as not taken back by retailer) as the doctor had to change the drug as per prognosis.
However even now the cut strips leads to a lot of labeling issues anc can be solved with this bar coding opportunity.
The guidelines also should make it mandatory to manufacture strips in strippable/indented cuts in portions of two or four to make the purchases affordable to general public at large, with still maintaining the UID/barcode/basic labeling.
Many drug manufactures are doing this for OTC drugs, but can actually do it for other generics too.

Designing the layout of the publication is going to be the main thing to get right to ensure that the information is communicated effectively. As a lot of the information is images about the advertising campaigns, it is predominately going be layouts of pages with images as content, but there is going to body copy amongst these too.
From looking through lots of editorial designs, i am going to use them to get inspiration, to create a good variety of page layouts that i can use throughout the publication. Once i have got this sorted and designed, then i can easily drop the content onto these pages.

Hiring is an ad-hoc process at barclays at least below VP levels. It depends on which group you interview into. You can expect strong coding questions as well as business questions. Depends on what you wrote in your resume.
Interview Questions
you should negotiate... definitely... better if you have competing offers...competing offers are easy to match and/or beat for them but they might not negotiate easily without that.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (New York, NY (US)) in December 2009.
3 rounds interview. In first round of interview, first meet with hiring manager. Then following with 2 technical interview. Each one take around 1 hour. After that, wait one week for second round interview. Then continue with one technical interview and one personality interview. After that, wait another week for 3rd round interview. Still come with one technical interview and one personality interview.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (San Francisco, CA (US)) in May 2009.
The HR was very tough and cold. Very random questions and many basic questions such as "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" Did not have a connection. I hope I will be more lucky next time. I my opinion Barclays is a good company. I will try again.

Interview Experience
There was telephone interview
1) Write code to find the max depth of a binary tree
2)wait(), notify()
3)in public static main() call object.wait() what happens?
3) what is the complexity of binary tree max depth
4)inner class vs static inner class (this guy can ask anything, annoymous inner class etc- be careful)
then face to face
The first interviewer came into the room straight away took out some java code and a list of questions he seems to have pre-prepared in a paper, and asked me how to solve this problem.
Problem 1) Assume there is a method provided getNextperson() which gives Person objects which have comparable interface implemented, now read from a file records and sort it and give first 1000 records, write code on the paper
Ans: then i started asking more information and clarification, I said seems like the problem can be broken down into 3 sub problems (problem solving skills) first read records, part by part so tat memory is not a issue, then construct a tree data structure of some sort (already sorted binary tree) and give first 1000 records.
so basically start writing code to build a tree and sort it and write your own print method.
So i do not think i got this answer right, but more step step discussion. He said why not use TreeMap(inbuilt for Java), then he used why use a Tree data structure at all?
THIS QUESTION is very DIFFICULT
Problem 2) He had code printed off a paper which shows Singleton pattern, and asked if anything is missing in the logic
Ans- I answered correct, a return statement was missing, and explained about synchronization of singleton class (more discussion)
Problem 3) Write a sql query , 2 tables, 1 driver, 1 vehicle, "give me all ssn who do not have vehicle" is the question, gave him the answer, and little discussion to fine tune it by not using subquery
He said time's up, he took about 45 min, and he said he will send the next person
Young kid. Asked about current work, then jumped right into code on a piece of paper.
Problem 4) write code to return a sort array of int, when passed in 2 sorted array of int to the method.
Ans: the easiest way to do is put in a 3rd array and call array.sort, which he liked my approcach. Then more discussion on complexity, it is N square, so please try to optimize it. Then then i said compare each elment of 1 array to another array, then he asked to write code, more optimization etc. Then i put a loop in a loop, then he corrected it and said its N square again, so i suggested construct a loop for the size of 1 st array and 2nd array.
Then He said, he is out of time and the other guys are busy and could not make it, and they could get back to the recruiter. Then he walked me outside the door

Parenting questions submitted by our community members and answered by a YOU Program facilitator.
Have a question you'd like answered? Submit here.
Question: I just had my first baby and my mother-in-law is driving me crazy! She's telling me how to do everything, even breastfeed! She has an opinion about formula, diapers, swaddling, how to hold the baby—the list goes on and on. I'm about to lose my mind—how can I stop her from telling me how to be a parent?
Answer: We've all been there. As soon as the pregnancy or adoption announcement goes out, the unsolicited parenting advice rolls in. It seems unstoppable. You start by politely smiling and nodding, agreeing even when you don't. But once the baby comes, there is neither time nor patience for being polite. And of course, the advice that hits the biggest nerve is from your mother-in-law.
This is one of the most common questions we receive from friends and YOU Program workshop attendees and the answer isn't simple. It depends on your and your parenting partner's relationship with your in-law. It depends on the advice they're offering. It depends on a lot of factors.
There are two key starting points:
From there, here are some ways to deal with common issues.
Giving Birth
If your parenting partner and you would like privacy during the birth or right afterward, communicate that to close family and friends as soon as you have decided. Be proactive about announcing this decision so everyone knows your expectations. Let them know you'd like some privacy as a family before they come to visit the baby.
First Visits at Home
If parents or parents-in-law want to stay with you after the birth of your child and you're comfortable with it, be proactive about asking for help.
Think of things you need help with that won't interfere with what you need to do with your new baby: laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, cooking, etc. By giving them something to do, they can be helpful while you take care of the baby's immediate needs.
If your in-law seems to take too much of a hands-on role with your baby, you or your parenting partner need to quickly explain that you are now in the parent role and your in-law is now in the grandparent role. Explain the differences, like the new parents needing to establish a routine for the baby with them, and the exception to the routine is with the grandparents. The grandparents need to respect your rules for your baby, not the other way around.
Parenting Advice
If your mother-in-law is persistently offering opinions that you disagree with, you and your parenting partner should discuss them privately to ensure you're on the same page. Then, figure out who should talk to Grandma.
Some people are more comfortable with the child directly addressing the issue with their parent. For example, if Dad's mother is critical of the way Mom is feeding the baby, Dad can gently tell his mother that her criticism is hurtful to both him and you and that you are following your doctor's advice.
If Dad's mother is with Mom alone a lot, it might be better for Mom to address the opinions directly. Again, be gentle but firm. "I really appreciate your advice and you did a great job with Dad, but this is something I want to figure out for myself. If I'm having trouble, I'll be sure to ask you for help and advice."
Remember those starting points and that your mother-in-law means well. At the same time, it's a good opportunity for you to start setting boundaries for your new family. Hopefully, everyone in the family will soon settle into a routine with your baby and you can get the help you need but not the advice you don't.
