Photowalk | Ehwa Mural Village
Get up off the couch, grab your camera, grab another photographer and go on a photowalk. Not every shoot has to be about the photos themselves. Sometimes it is good to shoot for the sake of the company and the place.
Sadly, It is rare that photographers collaborate or shoot together. For me, any chance to meet fellow shutterbugs is a welcomed treat. This past weekend, a larger group of photographers went on a photowalk to Ihwa Mural Village.
Located in Ihwa-dong, the Ihwa Mural Village was a project carried out in 2006 to support the Ihwa community. Over sixty artists worked to create large murals and sculptures for visitors to enjoy. However, the project itself can be seen as a double-edged sword. Residents of Ihwa-dong find it hard to relax in their own neighborhood as their homes are constantly surrounded by couples, photographers and tourists.
Despite being ethically conflicted, I very much enjoyed the art and the fine people of Ihwa Mural Village. Here are a few snaps from the brief walk around the colorful district.

On that long road back we always run into seriously interesting builds. By the long road back I actually mean reminiscing about BMWs of the past that are so special to us. Whether you like it or not, cars like the world known BMW E39 M5 have aged and aged a lot! Whether that's a good thing, we'll find out right now!
Ever since it was introduced back in 1998 this car raised quite a few eyebrows from the start. A total of 20,482 BMW E39 M5s were made from 1999 to 2003. BMW M produced three versions of the E39 M5, which are the European LHD and RHD versions, but also a somewhat different North American specification version. One thing was common for these cars though; they packed enough power to cleanly sweep almost anything on the roads those days!
The BMW E39 M5 uses the S62 V8 engine, which produces 294 kW (400 PS; 394 bhp) that's powering its rear wheels thanks to a Getrag type D six-speed manual transmission. But the output wasn't enough for everyone, so that's where tuning companies stepped in.
This particular BMW E39 M5 is tuned by Dinan and to our knowledge, it now churns out a whopping 600+ horsepower thanks to a supercharged unit. With this amount of horsepower, the M5 is pretty much capable of competing with a lot of today's sportscars, including the current generation BMW M5 as well in terms of power and overall straight line speed.
Tanks to ActivFilms.TV, we have a chance to see this BMW E39 M5 in high-quality resolution photos. We got more coming soon!

Ex-top GLC officer charged with CBT
Ex-top GLC officer charged with CBT
KUALA LUMPUR: A former chief executive officer of a government-linked company (GLC) was charged in a Sessions Court here with five counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) totalling RM2.575mil.
Datuk Nor Badli Munawir Mohamad Alias Lafti pleaded not guilty to using his position in TH Heavy Engineering Bhd (THHE), which is an associate company of Tabung Haji to commit CBT about four years ago through five cheques worth RM400,000, RM570,000, RM430,000, RM600,000 and RM575,800. According to the annual report, Tabung Haji is the single largest shareholder of THHE with 29.8% stake.
Nor Badli, 51, allegedly committed the offence at THHE Fabricators Sdn Bhd's office at Level 23, Tower B, Menara UOA Bangsar, No. 5 Jalan Bangsar Utama 1, Bangsar here between April and October 2013.
Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Deputy Public Prosecutor S. Thangavelu later offered bail at RM2.5mil and passport to be surrendered to the court.
In asking for a lower bail, Nor Badli's counsel Kitson Foong, who was assisted by counsel Cheetan Jethwani, asked for bail to be set at RM200,000.
Foong said his client was a director of numerous companies and was not a flight risk, adding that he has six children to support.
Judge Madihah Harullah fixed bail at RM400,000 pending mention on March 15.
She also ordered Nor Badli to surrender his passport.
Nor Badli posted bail.

The Superior High School boys hockey team extended its win streak to seven games with a 3-2 win over Duluth Denfeld Thursday evening at the Heritage Center.
The Spartans got goals from Luke Drougas, Cayden Laurvick and Taylor Burger to improve to 9-2 overall and 3-0 in the Lake Superior Conference.
Caden Welch was the winning goaltender with 17 saves. Shawn Easty made 33 saves for the Hunters.
Superior scored a goal in each period starting with Drougas' goal 8:52 into the game. Welch picked up his second assist of the season on the tally.
Laurvick put the finishing touches on a perfect give-and-go with Burger for a 2-0 game at 4:31 of the second period.
Laurvick returned the favor 3:59 into the third period when Burger pounded home the rebound after his shots by Laurvick and Trevor Dalbec.
Nineteen seconds later Denfeld's Griffin Lehet scored on a penalty shot and then the Hunters made it a 3-2 game when Payton Budisalovich redirected a shot by Jacob Eskola past Welch.
The Spartans called a timeout with 5:33 remaining and eventually kept Denfeld from any scoring chances, including when an icing call led to a face off in front of Welch with 6.4 seconds remaining.
Up next for Superior is the Showdown in Title Town Wednesday through Friday at the Cornerstone Community Center in Ashwaubenon.
The Spartans will play the West Salem Panthers for the first time ever at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
The Panthers are 6-2 overall with their wins over Mosinee, Viroqua, Tomah, La Crescent, Black River Falls and Baldwin-Woodville. Their losses are to Onalaska and La Crosse Logan/Central.
SPARTAN SPIN: The "Bug" is still a problem for Superior. After playing without seven players in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Proctor, five players were still out Thursday. Returning to action were Max Plunkett and Welch. … Superior had four minor penalties and Denfeld had two.
Superior.................................... 1 1 1 - 3
Duluth Denfeld....................... 0 0 2 - 2

It's Our Time
Today, we live in a world where in order to be at the top of the political or corporate ladder, you also have to be old and "experienced." For decades, the traditional way of moving up in the world has been to wait your turn. Millennials are taking the world by storm and saying "Okay, now it's our time to hold the power." The rest of the world is saying, "Hold on, you're 23 years old. What gives you the right to be in charge?" What gives us the right? It's simply because we live in a different world now. Business, politics, and education will never be the same again because of technology and the cultural changes that technology has brought about. Older generations are baffled by it. Millennials were born into it.
If you take a look at politics, only 9 out of the 435 members of the House of Representatives are under the age of 35 and the youngest member of the Senate is 40. I think few people would argue against the statement that our political system needs innovation and change, and it's not going to come from older generations. Millennials are hungry to execute that change.
"I'm just like my country I'm young, scrappy, and hungry." – Hamilton, An American Musical
Do you know who else saw a system that needed fixing? Our founding fathers. But they must have been old right? Wrong. On July 4, 1776, most of the founding fathers were under the age of 40. James Monroe was 18, John Marshall was 20, Aaron Burr was 20, Alexander Hamilton was 21, and James Madison was 25. Even Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence, was only 33.
Young people have always been at the forefront of bringing about change. I truly believe millennials today have the same spirit as our founding fathers from over 200 years ago. The country trusted them to forge a new future, why not trust millennials to do the same now?

The plaintiffs in the lawsuits claim, among other things, that certain Blue Buffalo goods were not constant with the Accurate Blue Promise." Blue Buffalo denies any wrongdoing, and has agreed to this settlement to get rid of the uncertainties, burden and expense of additional litigation. Pro Program cat meals is also distinctive in what it gives, but then when it gets weighed up against nutrience cat food you can clearly see how it is various. Subsequent, we took out brands that had been sold to massive businesses and, as a result, may possibly be changing or have changed their formulas in a manner that compromises integrity. That doesn't imply the items from these brands are worse than the goods from brands on our advisable list. In the United States alone, dog owners spent more than $8.6 billion on commercially manufactured dog food in 2007.
On December 12th 2016, Blue Ridge Beef issued a voluntary recall of Beef for Dogs two lb frozen chubs distributed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, and Texas. Also, because I live in an RV and move around often, I locate that I have to acquire meals that I can find in a lot of locations. You'll uncover a lot more than 125 recipes like complete meals and treats like Oatmeal Turkey Dog Biscuits and Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Ice Cream. Your dog does not need to have a huge appetite to save funds on bulk pet meals from Dollar General. Of the 93 brands left, we went straight to their recall history to appear for any key recalls, any considerable controversies, and unusually high numbers of consumer complaints and reports.
Most dog owners didn't know how hazardous some foods can be. We must all be cautious about what we feed our dogs. Now that you have discovered what components you can use, it really is time to uncover out what foods you must never ever give your dog. Assortment in your dog's meals not only keeps your pet from getting bored with the very same meals dumped from a can or scooped out of a bag, it also offers a wider variety of nutrients. And never neglect to bookmark this page and verify back because we often update the dog food recall list under. Most of these problems tie back to low-high quality ingredients in dog food, but safety is still a concern. All info is from Manufacturer's News Releases and the Federal Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The 1,257 dog food formulas left did not have any components we would not feed our personal dogs.
If you never trust commercial dog food to appropriately nourish your puppy or dog, attempt producing the treats and meals your self. Meals allergies can also lead to digestive troubles — several of the professionals we reached out to have noticed evidence that dogs are sensitive to wheat and corn, both well-known fillers. Take care of these that take care of you by buying discount dog food from Dollar Basic.
We had been extremely satisfied with Acana Ranchlands and Acana Grasslands, but anything has occurred to the distribution and it is a hard meals to find now…. and top it off with feeding six dogs and it is downright ridiculous to preserve oneself supplied when shops will only sell you 1 bag at a time. All dog foods claim to be premium" and all natural," but with very handful of regulations on what it takes to meet these qualifications, many of these claims are small far more than flashy marketing and advertising gimmicks and false marketing. The Association of American Feed Handle Officials (AAFCO) sets and maintains requirements for the suitable levels of ingredients in pet food, but it's the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that determines the top quality. It is also extremely essential to bear in mind to not give your dog human treats, as they can lead to sickness in particular circumstances and also obesity.

|Cream Reuniting for 2005 Shows in London
|Thursday, 11 November 2004
rock trio Cream, which includes guitarist/vocalist Eric Clapton,
drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce, is reuniting for a string
of shows next year at London's Royal Albert Hall – the same venue where
the band played its final shows before splitting in 1968.
Cream hasn't played together in over a decade since their 1993
induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH. The
trio is set to begin rehearsals early next year, with about a week of
shows tentatively scheduled at Albert Hall. There are no current plans
to play any other shows outside of London's Albert Hall.

Molding Validations
The molding processes need to be validated to ensure that the customer will receive the molded parts or their assemblies as per the specified requirements. The process begins with the the plastic pellet coming into the shop and leaving a finished product. Therefore every sub-process, equipment and the procedures that are involved in this transformation need to be checked to see if they are capable of contributing to the molding of the product. This procedure is called Validation. Based on the type of industry these validations have different names and protocols. The Automotive Industry calls it PPAP (Pre Production Approval Process) whereas the medical industry calls it IQ-OQ-PQ (Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, Process Qualification). Other industries or captive molders have their own internal acronyms and protocols.
With the increasing use of advanced concepts in Injection Molding, Scientific Molding Software and Design of Experience Software for Injection Molding are becoming increasingly necessary to manage the projects more efficiently. Maes provides the training in Scientific Injection Molding and also provides the tools for all the molding qualifictions and molding validations. The use of Scientific Molding has greatly enhanced the efficiency of the molding operations.

In this post, you can find my pack/unpack notes for Android APKs(of course for educational purposes only ;)).
To accomplish this, you basically need JDK, Android-SDK(no surprise!) and apktool.
First we need to decode our application to "smali" code with apktool.
I usually decode only code part of application with "-r" option if I don't want to edit resources. (Resource decoding and building can sometimes be error-prone! )
Now we have the smali code under ".\sample\smali" directory and can edit it easily. If you are familiar with java bytecode, it will be no hard to understand and edit this code. (much more reasonable it is!)
Here is a smali assembly of simple HelloWorld class.
You can always refer to Dalvik Opcodes table from here.
After we edited our code we can now reconstruct our application apk with apktool.
In order to install this apk to our phone or emulator, it needs to be signed properly. To do this we should generate a key for signing:
It will ask for some information that can be entered freely.
Now we can sign our apk by using generated keystore.
Android needs apks to be aligned with 4-byte boundaries to be able to memory-map them.
Finally if all operations were executed successfully, we can install our edited application for testing. (in my case, to emulator!)
That is it! You can enjoy your non-restricted, ad-free and maybe new-featured application ;)

Should you give your teen a credit card?
Lisa Goell Sinicki, owner of a public-relations company in Peaks Island, Maine., says she added her 16-year-old daughter as an authorized user on one of her credit cards early this year so her teen would have a way to buy essentials while spending a semester away from home. The new privilege came with a discussion about responsible spending and the pitfalls of plastic.
"We basically told her if she spent on anything that she didn't have permission for, we were going to take the card away," Sinicki told WalletPop in a phone interview. When her daughter succumbed to temptation and spent $500 on clothes, Sinicki didn't take away the card, but she told her daughter she'd have to find a job over the summer to pay it off. (Sinicki says she paid the bill and let her daughter pay back the initial charges, rather than making the teen also pay for the interest charges that would accrue over a period of months.)
"She also saw how it feels to be working really hard and giving away two-thirds of your money to pay a bill," Sinicki says. What she characterizes as a minor abuse of the card turned into a valuable lesson for her teen about the consequences of overspending. "We see this as sort of practice for when she goes to college and gets a card on her own," says Sinicki, adding that her daughter hasn't bought anything without permission since the incident.
Other parents to whom WalletPop spoke expressed similar ideas: By giving teens a card while they're still under the watchful eye of Mom and Dad, any poor habits can be caught early and nipped in the bud before they spiral out of control. "Kids are going to be kids, and once they had the cards, they realized how easy it was to swipe it," says Rory Rowland, a professional speaker and consultant in Independence. Mo. Starting when his oldest son turned 16 a decade ago, Rowland co-signed cards for his kids, requesting a low limit of $500 from the bank.
Rowland says the temptation to swipe was too much for one son, who treated a group of friends to lunch during the last week of school. When confronted, Rowland says the teen was "sheepish," the thrill gone once his father told him he'd have to pay for that lunch out of his savings when the bill came. Still, Rowland says the experience was a good one.
"I'd rather them make the mistakes under my watch," says Rowland. "I didn't want my kids not to have a card, get into their 20s and then destroy their credit by overspending."
So what's the best way to go about introducing your teen to both the convenience and the caveats of credit cards? The CARD Act implemented some consumer protections that prevent issuers from marketing on college campuses and issuing cards willy-nilly, says Barry Paperno, consumer operations manager for MyFICO.com. Companies are now prohibited from marketing on or in within 1,000 feet of a college campus, and they can't use giveaways like T-shirts or water bottles to coax freshmen into signing up for an account. For consumers under the age of 21, getting a card is no longer as simple as just filling out the form. If a teen or college student doesn't have a job, they'll have to get an adult co-signer to get a card in their name. If they don't want Mom or Dad on the account, they have to have a job and provide details about their income.
In other words, parents get a little bit of breathing room, but it's not foolproof, cautions Paperno. The law doesn't require that card companies actually verify income stated by a teen, and the rule requiring a credit limit in line with a teen's income only stipulates that the cardholder be able to make the minimum payment. "You can get into plenty of trouble and still be able to make the minimum monthly payment," Paperno points out.
As a parent, what are your options? If you don't have a solid credit history or aren't in a position to help out your teen monetarily, he or she can get a secured card. These cards require you to put up your own money as a deposit, and they do charge fees, but they're reported to the credit bureaus just like any other credit card, which makes them a useful tool for building credit. While they have their flaws, they're good "training wheels" for a teen who might not have the fiscal discipline for a conventional credit card.
If your teen is responsible and if you're financially stable enough to help them out if they do slip up, you have two options, says Gail Cunningham, vice president of public relations for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. You can open a joint credit card on which you and your teen are both account holders, or you can add him or her to one of your existing accounts as an authorized user.
"I recommend to parents not to open a new card and co-sign but to add their child as an authorized user," says Cunningham. "That way, you're in charge. You can monitor the account at any time, and you can take away the privilege if you need to."
Whichever route you choose, it's important to talk to your teen in detail before handing over the plastic. Cunningham recommends drawing up an actual contract with a monthly spending limit, appropriate categories of spending, and possibly even limits on categories in which you think your teen might be tempted to spend more than you think they should (clothing, music downloads and so on). Spell out who pays the bill and if the teen will be responsible for their discretionary purchases.
Also spell out the consequences if they fail. Do you want to be a one-strike-you're-out parent or a more lenient one? Cunningham points out that a young adult who goes out into the world with a so-called "thick" credit file (three or more open accounts) is better off than having no credit history, so you might want to consider the option of taking the card away for a period of time without actually closing the account.
What about who pays for any spending lapses? Do you bail them out or not? Dorothy Guzek, group manager and financial counselor at Farmington Hills, Mich.-based nonprofit debt-counseling organization GreenPath Debt Solutions, says this decision should be based on your teen's maturity level and the nature of the infraction. (A one-time movie ticket purchase is very different from a month's worth of pizza dinners.) It should certainly be discussed beforehand, and Guzek says it should not be a recurring action. "Bailing them out time after time won't teach them to become financially independent," she says.
The most important thing is to maintain a dialogue with your teens about their use of credit cards, Guzek believes. "I feel that parents should have this talk early. It really needs to happen before they leave the house for college or to move to their own place," she says. "They need to monitor what's going on. Once it gets out of control, it might be difficult to mentor the child about good spending habits."
Guzek says she sees many young adults in her office, deeply in debt, who say they were never taught how to use a credit card wisely. She urges parents to start their kids off on the right foot by displaying good credit-management habits themselves.
"Young adults watch their parents, and they can pick up good habits and bad habits," she says. "That's something even an eight-year-old is learning."

Organic Hair Color = Happy Healthy Hair
Wanting to cover up those stubborn grays? Or does your hair color reflect the current trend? Maybe you need to restore discolored hair from the sun or chlorine? Coloring hair has been a long time solution for all of these things and traditionally has involved a variety of chemicals that causes more damage in the end. Ammonia is only one of those to look out for.
Did you know ammonia:
1. is the number one ingredient in fertilizers
2. is used as rocket fuel
3. is the solution for hard-to-remove soap buildup in your bathroom
4. removes tarnish from your silver
5. is a cleaning agent for gold jewelry where commercial cleaners fail
6. cleans stains caused by pets, food and drinks.
7. kills mildew
8. helps repel moths
9. keeps garbage cans odor-free
10. eliminates paint odors.
11. is used as an oven cleaner.
12. produces toxic gases if mixed with bleach or other general home cleaning products.
13. needs ventilation when being used
14. should never have contact with your eyes.
15. is especially dangerous to pregnant woman
16. was found to be linked to bladder cancer in a study by the International Journal of Cancer
17. causes both short and long term damage to the throats and lungs including headaches, stinging eyes, and rashes.
Long term exposure can permanently damage the respiratory system.
Just imagine what it is doing to your hair?
At Salon Organic, we only use ammonia-free color which:
1. produces a more even color
2. is gentler to your hair and scalp

It is a dangerous business to adapt a Jane Austen novel. Not only because the woman still has stans but because, as times have changed, so must Austen's characters. In his third book of fiction, Mahesh Rao remains true to the plot of Emma but does not strain to stick to her character models at the cost of realism.
Amid India's Most Privileged
Rao's Polite Society is Emma set in contemporary Lutyens' Delhi and is a wry parody of those who live on the country's most coveted bit of real estate. Emma here is Ania Khurana, a native of "Prithviraj Road, rather than Delhi." Miss Taylor is revamped into Renu, Ania's unmarried aunt. Though, if she were a governess in this version it would not have been out of place in Lutyens' in the least. Other characters are also given their Indian counterparts: Mr Knightley becomes Dev, a close friend of the Khuranas, Harriet Smith becomes Dimple, a migrant to Delhi.
Ania is a 20-something tinkering with the idea of being a novelist though her real passion appears to be matchmaking. Much like in Austen's Emma, Rao's Ania has the blessed combination of looks and money that makes her take male attention for granted. But her main concern is to find an acha ladka for Renu and Dimple.
As the novel proceeds, she successfully finds Colonel Rathore to marry Renu and utterly fails in finding Dimple a match. Those who have read the original will find themselves nodding along with the plot for Rao does not stray from it. And, really, why would he? Austen's plots are sacrosanct. The original Emma's plot, for example, faithfully follows that of a five-act play: introduction, rising tempo, climax, fall, resolution.
A More Open Approach To Austen
But though Rao has remained true to the Austen plot, he has not allowed himself to be overpowered by other narrative elements. This speaks highly of his self-assuredness as a novelist. And so it happens that this is not an adaption of Emma but a novel that uses the Austen classic to tell a different story. This becomes increasingly obvious by the third act of Polite Society, which takes a much darker turn than Austen may have imagined.
Polite Society also moves away from the Austen style of writing. She usually wrote as an omniscient third-person narrator but narrated in detail only her protagonists' thoughts. In the original Emma, this worked well because the reader only had the information that the 21-year-old did. It contributed to the suspense: will she be able to matchmake as she wants to or will she be unpleasantly surprised by the outcome?
Rao's narration takes a more open approach. In Polite Society, moving away from Austen's tight omniscient, the author opens up all his characters to the reader. Each of them is portrayed as having psychological depth and consideration. The author changes perspectives frequently. A lesser writer would have made a mess of the narrative but Rao keeps the book pleasing and neat. He also focuses on the external details — sights, sounds, smells, touch — that are characters in their own right in Polite Society.
Same Plot, Different Story
Because Austen's tight omniscient was used for a specific reason, until the third act of Polite Society, the reader may think Rao is simply showing off; the "Whee! Look, Ma, no hands!" approach to writing in the third person omniscient.
But this choice of voice is propelled by the plot. It would never do to present Ania in the same way that Austen showed Emma. Times have changed, and perhaps many elements of Austen's coming of age novel would not sit well with contemporary readers. Certainly, not many of her male protagonists would work well in a modern novel. Mr Darcy was a straight-up sociopath, and Emma's own Mr Knightly was an annoying and condescending man. Austen balanced these characteristics out with appropriate indicators of sympathy and compassion. Meanwhile, Emma's rejection of Robert Martin for Harriet comes off as naiveté, while Ania's rejection of Dimple's beau screams high snobbery. By keeping a distance from his main protagonist and exploring each of his characters' inner thoughts, Rao allows the reader to empathize with Ania.
Unlike Austen, Rao is not interested in writing a book about Ania's coming of age. His is a book about the secrets, lies, and unsaid hierarchies of a social world insulated by power and money. Lutyens' is, therefore, a perfect place in which to set his novel.
Within the setting, Rao again utilizes wide omniscience and distance. The Lutyens' Delhi he writes about is exaggerated, comically so. The characters in Polite Society are perhaps a reflection of the increasing Anglicization of the Indian millennial — many of whom speak better English than Hindi. So it is that characters use phrases such as "I jolly well hope so" and "terribly sweet thing" while talking to each other. Dimple, a middle-class character, thinks herself unworthy of attention when there are "sophisticated gazelles at media parties."
The result is a high comedy with a dark edge and a genuinely well-adapted Jane Austen novel through it all.
Polite Society is available to buy on Amazon for Rs 360 for a hardcover copy.

Ex-situ conservation safeguarding Southern Penda from myrtle rust

|Capsules of Southern Penda (Xanthostemon oppositifolius). Photo: J Halford
Myrtle rust is a newly arrived and threatening fungal disease that affects the new growth, flowers and fruits of plants in the Myrtaceae family. This disease is spreading rapidly throughout eastern Australia and there is growing concern for many native Australian species. One particular species of concern is the Southern Penda (Xanthostemon oppositifolius).
Southern Penda is a stately tree attaining heights of more than 45m. Historically it was used as a timber tree but was also often cleared to make way for agriculture. Today it is most often observed as a short regrowth tree with a dense crown of glossy dark green leaves and colourful new growth. Southern Penda has great horticultural potential for parks and larger gardens.
Southern Penda is a species in the Myrtaceae family restricted to several populations in the Kin Kin, Maryborough and Bulburin areas in southeastern Queensland. The Australian Government has listed it as a vulnerable species under national legislation. Southern Penda is considered highly susceptible to myrtle rust and the rapid advancement of myrtle rust towards the Kin Kin area prompted the collection of the species for the Seeds for Life project.
The Seeds for Life team managed successfully to collect enough seed to act as a safeguard until more is understood on the impacts of myrtle rust on this species. Since these collections were made, monitoring indicated that myrtle rust arrived in the Kin Kin area in early 2012, affecting many rainforest myrtles, particularly scaly myrtle (Gossia hillii). Unfortunately, the Southern Penda has shown the effects of myrtle rust, as well as several other Xanthostemon species, highlighting the urgent need to collect and conserve seed from species threatened by myrtle rust.

I was born in Halifax in the 70's and from a very early age I began singing and have always been in love with music. I moved to the South Shore of Nova Scotia at the age of 10.
I began singing in the church choir and was noticed by Tela Purcell, a local painter who offered to sponsor my education in music by sending me for four lessons with Diane Oxner-Macdonald. I did not know at the time that she was the vocal coach for other great singers including Halifax native Sarah McLachlan.
Through work over the next 4 years, I was offered opportunities to participate in the local Music Festival in German and Italian folk and also in English. I was also able to join the Lunenburg Chorale.
At the same time I was active as a member of a Barbershop Chorus called the Sons of the Sea. I also began pursuing more music in Junior High school at Centre Consolidated and then in International Baccalaureate Music programs while at Park View.
I continued singing in the church choir and performing whenever I could in public. I also began working on music in the summer as part of the summer music program for the Archdiocese of Halifax and was selected for the youth choir and sang for Saint, Pope John Paul II in 1984, when he visited Halifax.
I also participated for two years at the Summer Camp for the Nova Scotia Youth Choir at Acadia University. Music was definitely a big part of my life.
When I married in 1994 I began operation of Clarkcom, a technology company and shortly after opened a recording studio in Bridgewater where I could produce not only my own albums but albums for other musicians.
IN 2000 I recorded an album called "In Tune and On Time", Artist such as Close to Home, Midlife Crisis, Joyce Seamone and Short Notice all worked on our album during that year. I also did full album productions for Midlife Crisis, Close to Home, The Coalstokers, and Diane Willband.
Our family was growing and my three children and I began performing together as soon as they could walk and talk and we released our first CD, "The Clark Family Group", and then a second, "We're still here", in 2010.
I continued to write songs and produce music after moving to St. Anthony, NL for 5 years and then Sydney, NS for two years before moving back home to the South Shore in 2016. I continue to work on music and perform.
My Sons are either fully grown working or off at university and my daughter is soon going to be graduating high school, so now I will turn back to a solo approach with them coming and participating from time to time as their lives and schedules permit. I hope you enjoy what I have done and what is still to come as I ramp up my second act in this musical life I have been living.

With an ever-growing bump eliminating some favorite outfits from my pregnancy wardrobe, I have had a hard time feeling fashionably relevant lately. Moreover, the general pregnancy "blah's" enhanced by the doldrums of winter have been making it difficult to even put in an effort to dress up on some days. That being said, I know all too well that how I look has a direct effect on how I feel. However seductive (and, honestly, practical) it would be for me to spend every remaining day of my pregnancy in stretchy fabrics that transition effortlessly from daytime to sleep time, I feel a lack of motivation to seize the day each time I dress down or, more accurately, fail to dress.
For example, I have been living inside my deliciously warm LL Bean down coat because, why not? It is winter, after all. The coat is a fail proof barrier against the elements and it is the only coat I have left that actually buttons around the baby belly. But, how do I feel when a friend invites me out to a party or an event after work and I am faced with having to show up in pair of glorified pajamas swaddled by a wearable sleeping bag? I feel like skipping the outing and heading straight home to bed, is how I feel. Not so healthy for a person that, while appreciating a lot of alone time, always has an overwhelming sense of rejuvenation when out-and-about. Self isolation imposed by body self consciousness is not going to fly right now, especially when a new baby will certainly necessitate a lot of home alone time come spring.
So, when Rachel invited me to last weekend's Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show (so thankful that she has her finger on the pulse as I have somehow lost the beat…) my mission was clear: attend show, hunt for treasures, find something that makes me feel like my "old self." A.k.a a fashion cure for the baby bump blues.
It only took about 20 minutes of walking around the vast room of exquisitely curated wares for us both to question, "Have we died? Is this heaven?" Needless to say our hearts were a flutter with the seriously gorgeous pieces on sale by vintage boutiques (notably Another Man's Treasure and La Poubelle Vintage among many others).
While silk dresses, high waisted trousers and fitted camisoles called my name aplenty, the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show was not the place to shop for maternity wares. But stylish coats, big in size, easy to transition to post-pregnancy and a welcomed alternative to my aforementioned LL Bean puffer, offered the wardrobe edge I was looking for. I tried on a few coats that were totally "me," but that were only almost able to fit around my bump. I realized, instead of donning a piece of clothing that would only make me yearn for a flatter tummy, I wanted to celebrate my current shape. It wasn't until trying on a 1960's stunner from Thriftwares of Brooklyn that I learned this was possible. The subtle bell shape of the double-breasted leopard coat (pictured above) offered room enough for my belly and, magically, when Rachel tried it on, proved to maintain a chic shape even on a much smaller frame. Thus, my how-Stella-got-her-groove-back coat was discovered.
Alas, today it is raining in NYC so I left my new favorite piece at home. But it is sure to bring me many joyful, winter days of pregnancy and beyond.
If you're interested in checking it out, the next Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show will be the weekend of April 7th and 8th.
Advance tickets can be purchased here.

(Nicklaus design is among Thailand's best)
Laem Chabang Golf Club is a picturesque Jack Nicklaus designed championship course. It is considered the best layout in Pattaya and indeed one of Thailand's most beautiful. Laem Chabang is made up of 27 holes on 700 acres and incorporates three types of features which characterize each of the nines. Critics widely hail this handiwork for the unique usage of the land's mixed terrain of mountains, lakes and river valleys which are lovely as well as functional. Each type of terrain corresponds to a 9-hole course uniquely, and as such, each one is named Mountain Course, Lake Course, and Valley Course.
The rolling hills of the surrounding countryside have been used to significant effect, and hazards are in abundance. Not only does the course have a lot of bunkers, sand traps, and water hazards, there are also a lot of natural hazards in the shape of exposed rock formations, lakes, ponds, and creeks. Cleverly shaped holes skirt water hazards and tall coconut trees. Every tee named for a distinctive tree or shrub planted nearby gives the course a unique floral emphasis. The large, undulating greens are mostly elevated and protected by deep bunkers.
The Mountain Course is 3,446 yards in length and plays around many hills. The opening drive requires a squeeze shot through a lush 'canyon' of vegetation. The second hole, a wonderfully water-fronted downhill par-3, is about as good as short holes get. From there on, challenges of the course's natural undulations, occasional water hazards, and excellent sprawling bunkers protect the front and sides of many nicely elevated greens.
The Lake Course is 3,419 yards in length with a stream meandering through most all the holes. The Valley Course plays the longest at 3,619 yards in the foothills of the surrounding mountains. Although the presence of water is not overwhelming (apart perhaps from on the opening four holes of the more technical Valley Course), when it does occur, it does so with full force and knee-trembling impact.
These distinct playing conditions offer the golfer a challenging golf course in a variety of terrains. Beautifully maintained and presented, this is a golf course that effortlessly combines the human-made features and rich planting of flowers and shrubs, with the natural splendor of the surrounding hills, rocky outcrops, and jungle vegetation. With many scenic views from the course, it all fuses harmoniously into a tremendous golfing experience and one that is uniquely Asian. Excellent clubhouse facilities and accommodation superbly complement everything at Laem Chabang.
This top Pattaya golf course is a must play for anyone in the area. Also, located around 1:15 from Bangkok makes Laem Chabang a consideration for those coming from Bangkok or the airport.
You can also combine this golf course with other courses for your next golf holiday.

DENVER (AP) - Colorado Rockies prospect David Dahl elected to have surgery to remove his spleen so he could speed up his return to the field following an outfield collision.
The center fielder for the Double-A New Britain Rock Cats crashed into his second baseman while trying to make a running catch on a blooper during a game Thursday at New Britain Stadium. He then had surgery to repair his spleen.
Had he waited for it to heal, Dahl would've more than likely missed the rest of the season.
By having the spleen removed in a procedure Monday, Dahl may return in four to six weeks. His Agent, Adam Karon, said he spoke with the family and that "everything went according to plan" with the surgery.
"The question was: Are you thinking this through and making a wise choice that can affect the rest of your life? In his case, there wasn't a question. He wanted it done," Karon said in a phone interview. "To him, it was something he was willing to tackle in exchange to play again this year."
Karon said the Rockies were supportive of the decision made by Dahl, who was selected by the organization with the 10th overall pick in 2012. Karon added there were dangers even if Dahl returned with a repaired spleen.
"You play with a previous lacerated spleen, you could hurt it again running into the wall or a teammate," he explained.
Without his spleen, Dahl will need a regular series of vaccinations to avoid infection.
In 2013, Dahl missed all but 10 games with Class-A Asheville because of a leg injury. He bounced back by hitting a combined .299 in 2014 as he split time between Asheville and High-A Modesto.
He was hitting .269 with three homers for the Rock Cats when he got hurt. He was racing in to make a sliding catch when he crashed into second baseman Juan Ciriaco. Dahl stayed down for several moments before being taken to a hospital.
"The kid has worked so hard the last two offseasons," Karon said. "He's incredibly tough."
Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said he texted Dahl and wished him a quick recovery.
"I know how tough injuries can be and I told him to hang in there and do what he could," Tulowitzki said.

Developing a successful strategy means preparing for the challenges ahead. They're difficult to predict so we thought we'd help here at The IC Space by asking a number of experts what they think the challenges will be over the next five years and how we should prepare for them. They cover communicating with different generations, the pace of change and getting your leaders engaged (you can find out more about how to engage your leaders in The IC Space chapter where there are videos of senior leaders from the top 100 companies to work for).
We've also spoken to our internal comms friends in Department of Work and Pensions, NHS Blood and Transplant, and Hackney Council. They talk through how they have overcome the biggest challenges in their organisations.
Before writing your strategy you need to be aware of some of the challenges which can get in the way of success. Bill Quirke has usefully summarised these as the four Cs:
The following webcast explains these in a bit more detail.
It's clear the environment for internal communicators, and the skills they need, are changing rapidly. Here, we look at what three respected experts have to say about the future direction of the profession, and what internal communicators should be doing to meet the new challenges.
"Internal communication is entering a new era, one where internal communication professionals bring both greater influence and face higher expectations than ever before.
Once craft experts, the go-to gurus for all things entertainment and information, today's practitioners must be all this and more. Fresh environmental dynamics, complex functional demands and employees who are more mobile, informed, vocal and more influential than ever before mean we're increasingly organisational connectors who also support strategy and create content."
Victoria Mellor
CEO Melcrum
"Smart internal communication practitioners will finally realise that they hold the key to unlocking higher levels of employee engagement by facilitating employee voice. The era of internal information transmission is coming to an end. Craft communication skills are less important. Polished prose is perceived as propaganda. Organisations that embrace the potential of giving employees a voice will see their culture energised with increased innovation, generating ideas that improve performance. Ambitious practitioners will grab the opportunity to be at the centre of new, less deferential, ways of management. They will become expert curators of important knowledge. This will give them more va va voom in their own role and career development."
Kevin Ruck
Co-founder PRAcademy and Editor of "Exploring Internal Communication"
"The new breed of practitioners will recognise that it is not about communication. It is all about behaviours. The role of internal communications is not about narratives; in fact, it's not about messages at all. The starting point is to decide what sort of business you want and what types of behaviours are needed to support them. So if the business wants a culture that is open, honest, non-hierarchical, meritocratic, collaborative, curious and empowered, then the role of internal communications is to provide a rich communication environment in which those values can flourish. It will be about designing the communications to support the desired behaviours rather than using communications to tell people what the behaviours are. Rather than designing great channels and hoping people will come to the party, it will be about finding out how they want to work and live and then creating a communications environment that can support it."
