Out of all the training that I have had as a real estate agent, the thing that is key to learn about selling a home is that price is number one. If you do not price a home properly for the market, it will sit, and sit and sit. Today's market is a little more of a challenge. Pittsburgh and it's suburbs are not as hard it as other regions of the country and things are selling but there is still a lot of inventory. I am seeing houses selling and it is the one's that are competitive or draw demand. If you have your home for sale today, and are "motivated", price it right. If you agent is not doing that, then you agent is not necessarily doing their job. Ask for a list of recent home sales that compare to yours. Even go see the listings if you are curious.
One thing to consider is, how much it is costing me to stay where I am at, or own two houses, etc . . . Maybe if you have to take a loss on the sale, you may still come out ahead. Run the numbers, you might be surprised.
Construction of new home sales has dropped. Here is what one article said about the marketing of new homes:
"At the moment, most of that advice is being directed toward lowering prices because, in reality, it doesn't matter how much traffic you generate if the traffic perceives the product as overpriced." -George W. Mantor

I recently attended an event with Viviscal and Brown Sugar showcasing the Autumn/Winter hair trends for 2017. If you're anything like me, you'll love hair so this was SO good to see. Hair is such a great accessory – styling your hair can really put a whole look together. Think about when you come out of the hair salon and you're swooshing your hair around like you're a million dollars singing 'nails done, hair done, errthing done…' y'know? The wonderful thing is, it doesn't matter what hair type you are – there is something fab you can do with yours!
I'm going to begin with my favourite looks. I think I gravitate to these looks because I have a hair type that I know I can work with to recreate similar looks to these!
1. Raise the Volume (Inspo from the Chanel runway)
I love, love, LOVE this look. This version is so wearable, it's the modern beehive. Add a head band or a touch of embellishment to some serious volume. The guys at Brown Sugar recreated this look by prepping the hair with Viviscal Shampoo and Conditioner (which btw achieves thicker looking hair after just one use), then backcombed the style section by section and topped with a thin headband. This is by far my favourite look and is totally achievable!
2. The Natural Side Parting (Seen at: Lanvin, Hermès, Louis Vuitton)
I found this to be absolutely stunning. I immediately thought of my sister with this look as she as has naturally wavy hair but without the tufts of cray that I do around the sides of my face. This look is achieved using the Viviscal Shampoo and Conditioner then tong or GHD some soft waves into the hair and use the Viviscal Elixir to smooth flyaways and split ends.
3. Loose Waves/Curls (Seen at: Dior, Fendi, Nina Ricci)
I think I love this so much because I've just been loving loose curls myself lately. (Anything to convince myself I'm on trend!) Spring/Summer was all about tight curls but picture this with your big scarf and wool coat! This look was achieved using the Gorgeous Growth package and curling wand.
4. The Regal Pony
Okay, serious hair envy here. I do not have the type of hair needed to achieve this look but it's one that I see year after year that is just so beautiful. This is another super wearable look which I think draws me to it. Brown Sugar achieved this using the super light weight Viviscal Shampoo and Conditioner and tamed flyaways with the Viviscal Elixir.
5. The Wet Look: (Seen at: Sportmax, Wanda Nylon, Giambattista Valli)
Sorry, there's no close up of this one! To achieve this look, a craaazy amount of the Viviscal Elixir is used. The wet look concept was seen on the S/S 17 runways where hair was perfectly straight and lacquered. We're set to see new heights (pun, hehe) with this trend this season, with more relaxed ends and added height.
6. Acid Hair (Seen on: Gucci, Versace, Jimmy Scott)
I wish I had the balls to do this at my age! I've a pink pigment Lee Stafford sent me that's been in my wardrobe for a year – I just can't do it! This Acid Hair trend is insane right now, from bright yellow to electric blue – when it comes to colour – anything goes! For this look though, the guys prepped and sleeked the hair using Viviscal and then used some clip in pink extensions – they really did the job!
7. Braids (Seen at: Balmain, Andrew GN, Saint Laurent)
The Tribal look is big this season but this is a little more tame than some of the dreadlocks we saw on a few of the runways! Braids are fab, but I'm shocking at them – cannot braid to save my life. Just as well though because I look like a complete twat when I wear them! This look was completed and perfected with the help of the Viviscal Elixir helping to tame the little flyaways around the braids.
8. Crimping
Lastly, crimping is back! This is a look I like to see (especially when it is done as gorgeously as this) but I wouldn't like to see on myself, y'know! (Picture the Lion King) If you have straight and fine hair this is a look for you! Stunningly achieved here by prepping the hair using the Viviscal Range.
I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did writing it. I'm currently trying the Viviscal range myself and I've even been trialing some of these looks too! I may or may not be brave enough to show you those but I will certainly be updating you on my Viviscal journey!
Thanks for reading! X

I have an irritating problem: redirecting stderr does not work. I get:
iptables: Chain already exists
I can't be bothered to check if a chain exists already (pointless, iptables just throws an error if the chain exists before I flush it in the next step, so why bother checking if it already exists). In order to ignore this, I redirect stderr to /dev/null but this does not seem to work.
In general: how do I:
check which stream is used by a command in bash? is this even possible?
redirect ALL streams output by a command?

Uterovaginal Prolapse
Definition - What does Uterovaginal Prolapse mean?
Uterovaginal (UV) prolapse is the descent of the uterus, cervix, and vagina due to weakened pelvic supports. The condition is most common in women during their menopausal years that have completed their family, but can also affect younger women during their reproductive years. The UV prolapse can also affect the organs located in close proximity to the uterus. The urinary bladder that sits in front of the vagina but below the uterus may also be displaced resulting in a cystocele. Alternatively, the rectum located behind the uterus may also undergo prolapse, and is termed as a rectocele.
FertilitySmarts explains Uterovaginal Prolapse
The uterus, cervix, and vagina are held in position by the uterine supports such as ligaments or muscles. If these supports become weak due to factors such as childbirth injury, they are no longer able to support these pelvic structures.
The symptoms of a uterovaginal prolapse depend on the severity of the prolapse and the organs involved. Women with a minor degree of prolapse may not experience any symptoms whereas women with a more advanced prolapse may report the following symptoms:
- Dragging sensation or feeling that something is coming down or coming out of the vagina - these symptoms are most noticeable during sneezing, coughing, or physical exertion, or after standing for prolonged periods
- Aching sensation in the pelvic region or a dull back pain
- Seeing a noticeable lump or bulge in the vagina with a third-degree uterine prolapse
- Increased vaginal discharge
- Difficulty during sexual intercourse
- Urinary problems such as leaking of urine when coughing, sneezing, or laughing due to stress incontinence, frequent urge to urinate and feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder are additional urinary problems
The condition is suspected in a woman who presents with the aforementioned features and confirmed by physical examination.
Treatment differs with the degree of prolapse, for instance, minor degrees can be addressed with the following strategies:
- Doing Kegel exercises, which help reinforce the pelvic floor muscles and organs
- Using a vaginal pessary, which is a device that fits into the vagina and helps stabilize the uterus and cervix
- Losing weight to take some strain off of the pelvic organs
- Avoiding heavy weight lifting
- Taking estrogen replacement therapy
Surgical therapies include uterine suspension or hysterectomy. During a uterine suspension, the uterus is placed back into its original position by reconnecting the pelvic ligaments. With a hysterectomy, the surgeon removes the entire uterus.
UV prolapse does not usually cause infertility. However, in cases where infertility has no obvious cause, concurrent uterine prolapse may be the culprit. This happens rarely though. In such cases, traditional surgery of the prolapse using sling supports eases the symptoms and may also help achieve pregnancy with successful results.

Opinion by Richard Baird.
Vi Novell 2016 is a young wine from Catalonia with an intense ruby colour and a fresh and fruity flavour profile. It is the seventh in an ongoing series, and is dedicated to the party; the open-air dance, the joy and celebration of the beginning of the season, the first sip of wine, shared with friends, and the continued enjoyment of a long tradition yet in tune with modern times. Wine producer Celler Masroig worked with Barcelona-based graphic design studio Atipus to capture this moment and spirit with a striking label design of simple form and multi-colour, followed up online with a site that blends dynamic pattern and story.

Much of this is firmly tongue-in-cheek but good quality, retailing in high-end and design-focused stores as well as larger chains.
With the introduction of materials such as ceramics, woods, metal and porcelain across its new ranges, and a desire to reach a wider market whilst retaining its current customers DOIY worked with Barcelona-based studio Folch to mature its brand identity. This included packaging and print communication that share a new and distinctive approach to photography; a collaboration between Folch, paper and set designer Raya Sader Bujana and photographer Leo García Mendez.

1. You Can Avoid Rising Housing Costs
As inflation tightens its hold on the United States, both house prices and the cost of rent continue to rise. When you purchase a home with a fixed mortgage, however, you can lock yourself into set monthly payments that will never increase. This financial stability can be a major advantage, especially when you need to make room in your budget for other expenses such as home repairs or a new car.
2. A Portion Of Your Monthly Payment Comes Back To You
It's sad but true - when you write your check for rent, you send that money to your landlord knowing that you will never again see a single penny of that money. However, making your monthly mortgage payment is entirely different. While the majority of your payments go toward interest (especially towards the beginning of your term), some of it goes towards paying off your principal. When it comes time to sell your home, you can get money back from the sale - possibly even more than you originally paid for the property.
3. You Build Home Equity
Every dollar that you put towards the principal of your mortgage loan comes back to you in the form of home equity. Equity refers to the dollar amount of your home that you actually own; the home's current market value minus your outstanding loan balance. You build equity by paying back your loan, as well as by increasing your home's value through upgrades and remodels. Home equity can be used to fund any number of things - a child's college education, major remodels, retirement, and more.
4. You Get Tax Deductions
Homeownership is one of the few major expenses that still qualifies as certain tax deductions. In most cases, homeowners are able to deduct the money they spent on mortgage interest and (if applicable) private mortgage insurance (PMI). These deductions can be a huge help when tax season rolls around. However, it is important to be aware that many of the other costs of homeownership (upgrades, repairs, etc) do not qualify as tax deductions.
Homeownership Helps Build Wealth
In summary, homeownership helps families build long-term wealth. In fact, KeepingCurrentMatters.com postulates that homeowners' family wealth will be 45x that of renters' by the end of 2016. If you are looking for a way to invest in your future, buying a home could be a great financial move.

WHILE DOING RESEARCH FOR LOGAN BOOK 5, I managed to snag a spot in the last Shop at the Dock event of the summer in Newport, OR. The 90-minute walking tour teaches locals and tourists alike about the fisheries, boats, and what to look for when selecting fresh fish. Then they turn you loose to buy directly from the boats if you want to and come prepared with an ice chest and a wad of cash. Most only sell whole fish, so you may want to bring a buddy.
Wanting to try something new, I picked up some Black Cod, also known as Butterfish. Googled it and found a recipe that used what I had on hand: soy sauce, limes, rice wine vinegar, and some fresh mint. Only took 20 minutes, start to finish. Let me just say…
BLACK COD IS DELICIOUS! Here's the Martha Stewart recipe.
I love being a writer! I get to learn so much and meet the most interesting people. There are entire worlds out there we know nothing about. I snagged some business cards and emails for people I want to interview later…Book 5 is going to be a fun one to write!

The pinnacle of 3 years intense research and crossbreeding, CBD Bomb, our first specialist, high CBD strain has arrived. It's one of the most eagerly awaited medical strain developments since the launch of our signature strain THC Bomb.
With a CBD level well over 7% and 1:1 CBD to THC ratio CBD Bomb is a medical strain of the highest quality. The stone is a balance between a deeply relaxing physical feeling without excessive drowsiness. It's a strain that can be enjoyed any time of day to help manage conditions such as muscle and joint pain, inflammatory problems, insomnia and anxiety.
The smoke is sharp citrus with a distinctive skunky undertone. The aroma develops late in the vegetation but goes off the scale late in flowering. Be warned - take adequate protection, this strain is not one for a stealth setup.
Finishing in a little over 8 weeks, its short and compact structure is perfect for a SCROG setups, making it hugely viable for commercial ventures. Resin production is high, with sticky, THC coated buds, growing from multiple locations along the main stem and side branches. Expect the usual strength, speed and vigor Bomb genetics have become renowned for.
If you're looking for the next level in medical marijuana strains CBD Bomb is an awesome addition to any collection.

Longtime South Austin favorite Maria's Taco Xpress will close in the coming months. Owner Maria Corbalan is under contract with an unnamed buyer to sell the property at 2529 S. Lamar Blvd.
Corbalan cites high property taxes and a slowing of business in recent years as reasons for shutting down. The taxes were about $50,000 last year, according to the Travis Central Appraisal District, with the property appraised at more than $2.2 million in 2016, up from about $760,000 in 2012.

"All of my employees make quite a great salary," said Corbalan, who added that she has not been able to pay herself a salary since April of last year. "Every day that I am open costs me money. The water is to my neck."
Corbalan says that while she doesn't know the new owner's plans, she is not selling the business she established in 1996, instead choosing to allow her employees, some of whom who have been with her for more than 15 years, to possibly carry on under the same name in a new and unannounced location.

"I'm not selling the name because perhaps my employees will be able to continue the business. That would be my gift to them," Corbalan said. "I could not have done this without my guys. I keep a tight relationship with all of my guys, and I am really going to miss them."
Though the unannounced sale price will far exceed the $250,000 Corbalan paid for the property in 2006, the gregarious owner, who affectionately calls many of her customers "honey," would prefer not to sell.
"I'm sad. I don't want to say goodbye to my baby," Corbalan said. "The appreciation for my guys and customers, and the sadness are beyond belief."
Corbalan said that she is eyeing a potential April 1 closure and that, in true Taco Xpress fashion, the restaurant will throw a huge party with live music following South by Southwest.
"We're not just going to go away and close the doors," Corbalan said.
Maria's has always been more than a taco stand, serving as something of a de facto community center, a home for fundraisers, live music, political meet-ups and the groovy, music-filled "Hippie Church" on Sundays. Corbalan told the Statesman's John Kelso in 2014 that her business had slowed considerably that year, pushing her to add live music at nights and extend weekend hours.

The restaurant is one of the few remaining pieces of "Old South Austin" (along with businesses like Saxon Pub, Matt's El Rancho and the Broken Spoke), and it drew the support of the community when a wave of change hit South Lamar a decade ago. Corbalan closed the original Taco Xpress in 2005 to make way for a Walgreen's, but the pharmacy ponied up for a new space, allowing Taco Xpress to move about 100 feet to its current building in 2006.
The art-loving restaurant, known for its migas, eccentric style and personable owner, features a massive statue of Corbalan that was constructed by local artist Michael Peschka. The statue of Corbalan was vandalized in 2005, drawing the ire of the community and Statesman columnist Kelso.
Given Corbalan's stature in the community and Taco Xpress' role in nurturing an Old Austin culture that seems to be disappearing from that part of South Lamar, there is little doubt that there will be many sad to see Corbalan shutter her funky restaurant. The feeling is mutual.
"I want to thank everybody for this beautiful 20 years," said Corbalan, who intends to continue her artwork while pursuing her next career as an interior designer.

The circular economy, a new model for sustainable production and consumption
The circular economy entails a radical change in perspective by people and companies when it comes to dealing with the lack of resources, environmental impact, value creation, and employment.
The circular economy, a new model for sustainable production and consumption
#business #environmental sustainability #economy
The circular economy entails a radical change in perspective by people and companies when it comes to dealing with the lack of resources, environmental impact, value creation, and employment.
A Europe that uses resources effectively is an initiative that forms part of the Europe 2020 strategy, which aims to generate smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. With the backing of the European Parliament and the European Council, this is currently the main European strategy for generating growth and employment. Its main objectives are:
- Improving economic results while reducing the use of resources;
- Identifying and creating new opportunities for economic growth and boosting innovation in and the competitiveness of the EU;
- Guaranteeing the security of the supply of essential resources;
- Fighting against climate change and limiting environmental impacts caused by the use of resources.
The generation of waste as a result of economic activity and consumption generated in homes is one of the biggest problems facing the planet. In the OECD countries alone, 572 million tonnes of rubbish are produced per year, making up 44% of the total global generation. Furthermore, according to the World Bank, 46.7% of the waste comes from the countries with the highest per capita income, which is where consumer society plays a key role.
Every Spanish person generates nearly 440 kilogrammes of rubbish in the home, and the sum of all households in the country comes to about 21 million tonnes of waste per year. Although these figures are huge, they pale in comparison to the planetary scale: Throughout the world, more than 3.5 million tonnes of waste are accounted for per day, according to a report by the World Bank. Over the year, this amount rises to about 1.3 billion tonnes.
In order to mitigate the possible environmental consequences, it is necessary to minimise the generation of waste and encourage the use of products, materials, and resources that will remain in the economy for as long as possible. These are the foundations of the so-called circular economy which seeks a new model of production and consumption of goods and services associated with sustainability.
The phases of circular economy.
The circular economy takes production processes into consideration and outlines how to reuse, repair, and recycle items, thus increasing sustainable manufacturing and consumption. This way, in addition to reducing waste, saves energy and helps avoid irreversible damage caused in terms of climate and biodiversity, as well as in terms of air, soil, and water pollution, owing to the use of resources at a rate that exceeds the Earth's capacity to renew them.
Society as a whole can and must help the circular economy become a widespread reality. For example, the UN has established the Sustainable Development Goals to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (Goal 12). These 17 goals are ambitious and universal, set forth as a call to action, so the main environmental, social and economic challenges the planet is facing can be addressed. Putting into practice the expression 'nothing is lost, everything is transformed' is a good way of doing our part.

The newest Lawn Fawn release is finally available so today I have a new video tutorial using some of the new products.
I really love the Quilted Backdrop die and have wanted to make it the focus of a card ever since I first saw it. I felt that the best way to do this was just to add some small die cuts to enhance the quilt design.
I kept the base of the card simple with white on white so that the colors of my flowers would pop. The flowers are cut using the small flowers included in the Spring Sprig die set.
Check out the video to see just how I created this card. You can watch it here or on my YouTube Channel. The Lawn Fawn Glue Tube and Marvy Jewel Picker made quick work of assembly. I also have a quick tip for using a mini lint roller for cleaning out small die cut pieces from intricate dies like this quilted backdrop.
Thanks for stopping by today.

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
How does the fact that Anne sometimes gets depressed and begins to view the world as confining and unhealthy affect the way readers view hers
From: Anne Frank The diary of a young girl
From: Anne Frank The diary of a young girl
The reader becomes sympathetic to her plight. Anyone living with Anne or going through this time with her (any Holocaust victim) or even reading her memoirs should be able to "feel" that sense of confinement to a certain degree. Have you read any of this novel? Would you feel confined and depressed in her situation? Would you enjoy being locked in small spaces with the same people day after day, always in fear of being discovered, never having any privacy or fresh air? I think not. How do you view her? I view her as being stronger than most anyone I know.

By naming your adventure we signify there are numerous activities, a range of experiences available that anyone can create their ideal vacation in the town. Not everyone wants the same when they go on vacation. Everybody has different vacation styles like all of us have different personalities. There is absolutely no wrong way to vacation and there's no one-size-fits-all experience. Whenever you name your adventure you end up picking the particular vacation that fits your personality which even taps in the aspirational aspects of who you wish to be.

An initiative to re-frame the idea of perpetual peace for the contemporary world
In 1795 Immanuel Kant outlined six preliminary articles for perpetual peace between states. More than 200 years later, Redrafting Perpetual Peace project encourages to re-think Kant's six basic conditions for peace. Through a collection of short films and critical essays the project asks: how can we re-frame the idea of perpetual peace for the contemporary world? The initiative is convened by the Centre for the Humanities at Utrecht University as a part of Perpetual Peace Project in association with the Syracuse University Humanities Center. A collection of essays and films is published online at http://redraftingperpetualpeace.org.
The original Kant's document Zum ewigen Frieden: Ein philosophischer Entwurf (Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Scetch) contains six Preliminary Articles for creating perpetual peace among states, and several Supplementary Articles. The contributors to the Redrafting Perpetual Peace project were asked to take six Preliminary Articles – the main conditions for perpetual peace – and critically reflect on them, taking into account the economic, social and political realities of today. The articles were re-drafted by renown scholars from different academic fields: Gregg Lambert, Patrick Hanafin, Louis Kriesberg, Adam Gearey, Paul Patton and William C. Banks.
These revised articles are to be engaged with and alongside a series of six short films Towards Perpetual Peace: Academics, Art and Activism, directed by Janina Pigaht, Artist in Residence at the Centre for the Humanities. The main question explored through the films is: how can we translate Kant's academic discourse to induce discussions on peace between the academic & the artist? Starting with Kant's original six conditions for peace as a framework, N. Pigaht interviews Karen Armstrong, Catherine Hall, Kevin Bales and Jolle Demmers on the idea of Peace, what can be considered peaceful initiatives, and what does it mean to be a peaceful academic.
Both the re-drafted articles and short films are published on the website http://redraftingperpetualpeace.org. The revised Preliminary Articles, together with other contributions, are to be published in a volume Re-Drafting Perpetual Peace, edited by Rosi Braidotti (Utrecht University) and Gregg Lambert (Syracuse University), later in 2014.
Redrafting Perpetual Peace is an initiative of Perpetual Peace Project in association with the Syracuse University Humanities Centre. Perpetual Peace Project is an international research and cultural program of the Syracuse University Humanities Center in partnership with the Slought Foundation (Philadelphia, PA) and the European Union Institutes of Culture; and, in the second phase beginning in 2011, with initiatives in Seoul, Korea in spring 2012 and with the Centre for Humanities at Utrecht University and the Treaty of Utrecht Foundation (the Netherlands) in 2011 – 2013.
The Perpetual Peace Project in a nutshell…
- aims to change the idea that "Peace" is an abstract concept, and instead introduce it as a relevant and necessary discussion in society today.
- began in 2008 in New York with a series of public initiatives and media outlets based on the re-publication of Kant's original 1795 treatise, that provoked a renewed conversation on the possibility of peace.
- Many academics, public intellectuals, diplomats, and activists have taken part in various initiatives and public documents, including video interviews.
- See: www.perpetualpeaceproject.org
- Additional symposia, workshops, and exhibits have taken place around the world in Seoul, Korea & Rwanda.
The Perpetual Peace Project, which began in 2008 with a series of public initiatives and curatorial interventions, was based on the re-publication of Kant's original 1795 treatise: Zum ewigen Frieden: Ein philosophischer Entwurf. Using different media and formats to provoke a renewed conversation on the possibility of peace as a shared contemporary horizon[1]
The Project as it has been conceived, is an academic, civic and artistic movement. Its intent is to stimulate dialogues on peace on camera and off and finds collaborations in initiatives and artworks that in fact are creating preconditions for peace in music, food, or film. For an overview of the different initiatives of the project since its launch in 2008, please visit the Syracuse University Humanities Centre website at http://www.syracusehumanities.org
Since the launch of the project in Utrecht in 2011, the centre for the Humaniites has been invested in creating forums and events on Perpetual Peace.
[1] The Perpetual Peace Project is an international research and cultural program of the Syracuse University Humanities Center in partnership with the Slought Foundation (Philadelphia, PA) and the European Union Institutes of Culture, and; in the second phase, beginning in 2011, with initiatives planned in Seoul, Korea in spring 2012 and with the Centre for Humanities at Utrecht University and the Treaty of Utrecht Foundation (the Netherlands) in fall 2013.

Guy Fawkes Cape Paterson
Press Release 12th May 2011
Cape Paterson community members are outraged at Planning Minister Matthew Guy's 11-May-2011 announcement that he has resurrected and approved the lapsed Ecovillage housing development which was rejected last year by both an Independent Planning Panel and Bass Coast Shire Council.
In so doing, the Minister, at the request of developer Brendan Condon, has chosen to ignore an eight-year strategic planning process, the wishes of the community and the recommendations of an Independent Planning Panel. Simultaneously he has also approved a massive expansion of Cape Paterson to the north.
The outcomes of this irresponsible decision for our community include:
Town Boundaries: The size of our small town will now triple. Over the last eight years the conflict and confusion between strategically setting town boundaries vs extending them to suit the Ecovillage developer has led to this massive expansion which no-one in the community wants. Even the Planning Panel, after carefully considering population growth, rejected this expansion.
Why didn't the Minister take his Panel's professional advice?
Planning Process: The resurrected Ecovillage housing development (Amendment Bass Coast C119) is significantly different from the one which was rejected (C53) last year. Despite these significant changes, both the Council and local community have been denied any opportunity to review C119.
Why didn't the Minister ensure C119 followed a proper process of review and consultation?
Implementation Problems: The Minister has abused his power by making this decision but will not bear the consequences for his actions. Bass Coast Shire will bear those consequences ... but have been denied the necessary powers that the Panel Report clearly identified, including:
Why didn't the Minister take the Planning Panel's considered advice and ensure the Council had the tools to do the job?
Implications: This abuse of the strategic planning process is of particular concern given it:
This decision also means that the State Government's oft-stated policies of 'transparency' and 'handing planning decision-making back to local Council' is a myth.
Our concern is not just for our own local community. The signs are ominous for communities and Councils state-wide. The leopards might be younger but the spots are the same.

Yeah so happy you are linking up!!!! My sister and her husband keep on forgetting to move that damn elf and then when their nanny gets there she has to come up with some elaborate letter and lie about why "Mr. Steve couldn't fly back to the North Pole last night". She keeps on posting it on Facebook and tagging my sister "soooooo Mr. Steve apparently eat too many marshmallows last night and was too full to fly" or whatever. It is my daily entertainment. Adding that moisturizer to my must try list! Hope you have a great weekend!!!ReplyDelete
Target has definitely been on point lately with their lamps! Plus they've had cartwheel deals for 20-30% off lamps ;-)ReplyDelete

Freedom for Marco Camenisch (Switzerland)
Wednesday, December 30th, 2009
Marco Camenisch was born on January 21st 1952 in Switzerland, in a small village of the Graubunden region. At the beginning of 1980 Marco was arrested for damaging electricity pylons and transformers, once against the NOK company (which ran nuclear power plants in Switzerland) and once against their distributors, the Sarelli company. The sentence was very harsh: 10 years. Marco was well aware this reflected the seriousness of what was at stake: the ecocide perpetrated by the the power industry as part of the wider system of destruction, which formed the target of his own struggle.

Comrade from Hamburg in custody in Copenhagen (Denmark)
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
Our comrade Christian was arrested by civil cops at the resistance against the climate summit (COP15) in Copenhagen. He was sentenced to 3 weeks custody because he's accused of §119 (violence against police), §134a (public unrest), §245 (violence of dagerous kind) and §291 (damaging of property). (more…)

COP15 Call out – 12th December, Copenhagen (Denmark)
Saturday, November 21st, 2009
Join us in Copenhagen on the mass protest on the 12th of December, 2009!
The catastrophe is real and climate change is one of its many symptoms. The COP15s inevitable talk of saving the world from the climate crisis is an elaborate hoax to disguise the COP15s true purpose: to restore the legitimacy of global capitalism by inaugurating an era of green capitalism. A new rhetoric of saving the climate will exist to justify their repression, their fortified borders, their colonial resource wars. To give the Emperor new clothes. Our response to this astounding lie is an uncompromising and absolute NO to their system.
More has to be shaken than our holiday habits to sustain the world for times to come. It would be foolish to pin our hopes upon the very people who continue to kill off the planet for money. At Copenhagen, they will argue over how to properly create a market to commodify and so pollute the biosphere, dispossessing millions of people from their land to profit from destroying what remains of our earth. Governments and corporations will not sacrifice their growth to reduce carbon emissions, or only do so in order to create a new authoritarian regime for themselves.
The entire rhetoric of the climate crisis and the financial crisis is a cynical maneouvre by the state spin-doctors to deny the all-encompassing crisis of self-declared civilization. The COP15 will only attempt to hide the war that capitalism is waging against all life on the planet, a war that has spread across the entire globe for the last five hundred years, a war that encompasses the totality of even the oceans and atmosphere. In the midst of war, one does not talk of management and technical solutions. You cannot fight a war by pretending the war does not exist, by blinding yourself to repression and becoming complicit in accepting the false-promise of a petit bourgeois tranquility. Instead, one recognizes the enemy. One chooses a position. One fights.
Only by ridding ourselves of those who claim to be representing us and by defeating the ideology of endless economic growth, industrial production and consumption can we take control of our lives and planet. It is time to state: we are going to consciously attack the structures supporting the COP15: we will break through the lines of their police; we will refuse to negotiate with warmongering governments and the embedded media; we will refuse to side with sell-out NGOs and all the would-be managers of protest; we will refuse all governments and governance and not just de-legitimize the present ones.
It is time to state why we think that insurrection is needed to actually begin the change everybody is so desperate for. Acting together in fundamental opposition to those in power we might get a first glimpse of the richness and opportunities possible when ideas, experiences and concepts are shared amongst people from all over the world.

Friday, November 20th, 2009
This is the call for Revolutionary Solidarity with our Swedish anarchist comrade Jonatan and for all fighting prisoners! Please spread it and publish it on your websites, blogs and lists.

Sabotage of Apex Drilling (UK)
Friday, November 6th, 2009
3 November 2009 : Solidarity action in Brigend against eco-destruction in Mainshill, Scotland. Here is the claim: "In the early hours of tuesday 3rd november, anti-opencast activists visited Apex Drilling based near Bridgend. They are integral to the expanding opencast monster and are currently active at Mainshill in Scotland. Cameras were disabled, containers and vehicles had their locks glued, windscreens were etched with 'No opencast', wires and pipes were cut on heavy vehicles, fuel systems were contaminated, anti opencast graffiti sprayed all over the compound and the main site gate locked shut. This company and others will be repeatedly targeted until they are put out of business. No compromise in defence of mother earth."

We're not Victims – We are Fighters (Kulon Progo, Indonesia)
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
For more background on the community of Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia and their resistance to the planned Iron Mine on their land see: 325 #7 and this article.
We hope that comrades from abroad can make a solidarity action for the farmers of Kulon Progo and make a presence to the nearest Indonesian Embassy regarding this case. Our dear comrades of Kulon Progo are in one spirit with us. They are our friends in struggle and daily lives. A recent statement from the Sultan of Yogyakarta dictates that they will continue this megaproject and so the consequences are more repression to come. But for sure, from recent gathering and since the beginning of resistance, the Kulon Progo's peasants remained determined in their resistance and ready for the next social war. This is just a beginning.

Against the Hallmark Nickel Project (Philippines)
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Information about destructive mining project in Mati, Davao, Philippines.
From anarchists in Philippines involved in resistance:
"Autonomous resistance against eco-destruction and social turmoil carried out by capital needs to develop unbounded and analyzed upon creating a revolutionary plight in reclaiming direct control towards freedom- liberatory space and unconstrained desire and capacity beyond the bondages of imagination to put into action -without compromise. The struggle against domination, the enemy- state, capital and religion acquiring and exploiting the earth landscape as extractable resources manifests the ever-growing contagious outbreak of various oppositional elements and social conventions concealed within the legal framework and morality of lobbying, servitude and pacifism until natural life is mechanically being reduced and controlled into the hands of conservation experts, scientists and sustainable management schemes as a means of reaction to such atrocious events. Ideological dogma, reformism and centralized administrative structures often becomes the product of deeds and academic indoctrination consequently suppressing the burning rage of defiance and revolt against the social order and ecological havoc maintained by the ruling forces. Such logic is inflicting coercion over other life forms- a totalitarian mindset taking place within the driving stages and development of social experimentation and control".
The Hallmark Nickel Project is one of the 23 priority mining projects that are part of the Philippines governments 2004 Minerals Action Plan. Spearheaded by President Arroyo, the plan aims to revitalize the Philippine mining industry and encourage foreign investment as a driver for national development. Hallmark demonstrates the complexity of international mining projects and the challenges in ensuring sufficiently high social and environmental standards are met by international mining companies and their joint venture partners.

We never do migration in blindfolds!
We do understand that migrating to Salesforce is not without pain. As your business grows, your customer base expands and so does your data. To manage all critical and fast growing sales and opportunity data, businesses often plan to migrate from one CRM to another, and obviously, Salesforce is a wonderful choice with its cloud power. Data migration is a headache, if not planned and executed properly.
Why should you migrate to Salesforce?
Salesforce CRM is explicitly a wonderful choice for companies trying to move away from conventional CRM. The shift from legacy systems becomes crucial to meet the growing sales opportunities and business enhancements. Migrating your customer data to Salesforce also affects the user experience largely. How migrating to Salesforce helps your organizational growth?
Enables businesses to interact with valuable information through which you gain useful insights.
Increases speed to market with faster release time
Fast and hassle-free user adoption
Integrate Salesforce with multiple third-party applications that helps users leverage the platform to fulfil their business requirements
Salesforce provides an all-in-one solution that streamlines business processes
Migrating to Salesforce increases your conversion rates
Ease of use that saves your precious time
Challenges involved in Salesforce migration:
As mentioned above, migrating from your legacy CRM to Salesforce involves many hiccups. Here are a few challenges that you might gear up to face and overcome:
All your data migrates without any glitches
All the departments in your organization have access to up to date information during the migration process
Business must run as usual during the migration process
Tackle data loss and data duplication challenges
Numerous data loader tools could leave businesses indecisive
Identify and avoid data loader tools that are inconvenient and unfriendly
Integrating data from on-premises and cloud-based systems poses a great concern
Storing data back-up as well as deleting unwanted information
Suyati's Salesforce Data Migration Roadmap
Successful migration and adoption of Salesforce cultivates fruitful business collaboration, widens your market outreach, enhances your engagement experiences, and boosts b2b interactions. Nevertheless, there are a few fundamental things you need to consider while planning your data migration to Salesforce. To avoid taking the wrong path, analyze these questions:
How can my customer benefit? Will it give me a competitive advantage?
How to prioritize my functional capabilities that need to be migrated?
Which edition of Salesforce will suit my business? What sort of license should I procure?
Can migration help me meet my SLAs effectively?
What are the business considerations that will be impacted by migration? How to handle them?
How can I plan around decommissioning incumbent applications, systems or infrastructure?
Will migrating to Salesforce help me with analytics?
At Suyati, we understand all your woes. Things can be daunting especially when you have multiple choices presented to you. For example, numerous editions, pricing models, partner solutions, geographical reasons, whether you need to go with single or multiple org etc. You need a trusted Salesforce partner who can facilitate a smooth journey into the territory of cloud.
Suyati's Salesforce data migration roadmap takes into account all aspects of CRM planning including Salesforce adoption and deployment, while reducing cost and minimizing risks. Our solutions package includes:
Drafting business cases for each activity based on the clients existing scope/ future requirements
Evaluating the client's business purposes to determine the edition/ license they need
Harmonizing the processes to streamline them for future benefits and improved ROI
A complete Salesforce.com deployment blueprint

The XX Commonwealth Games, hosted in Glasgow, have officially come to an end after 11 days of strong and friendly competition. Seventy-one Commonwealth teams participated in this year's Games, with over 4,900 athletes competing in 17 different sports. Values of unity, teamwork, discipline and effort were on display in Glasgow, as athletes from around the Commonwealth competed to their best ability in front of thousands of spectators. These values were discussed by thousands of students participating in the 2014 Commonwealth Essay Competition of which the theme was 'Team Commonwealth'.
This year's Commonwealth Essay Competition was a great success, with over 9,000 entries from 62 countries and territories in the Commonwealth. The first stage of the judging process has been completed and the top essays have been identified to be sent through to the final judging panel. This year's top entrants have shared inspiring messages regarding the values of sport. Many discussed the topic of 'unity', which has been seen as a valuable asset to success. A submission from one essay reads: 'What cannot be achieved by a single soul can be achieved by a combined effort of masses', while another expresses similar views and highlights the benefits of unity such as 'commonality of purpose, lack of conflict, and thus an environment which encourages human development'. On July 25th, unity was illustrated during the Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay Final in Swimming, as Team Australia set a new Commonwealth Games Record for that event.
'Team-building' was another favoured topic during this year's Commonwealth Essay Competition, as many participants noted that it was important to work in partnership with others, to achieve a goal. A Junior participant discussed the importance of teamwork in regard to winning, stating that happiness came from achieving success as a team. Another participant, whose essay discussed the MH370 tragedy earlier this year, expressed the importance of teamwork during times of despair: 'We shared tears, victories and triumphs. We considered ourselves as one single individual. We raised our voices together. We fought for the truth together. We became a family'. During the Glasgow Games, the importance of teamwork was exemplified when Scotland faced Wales in a preliminary event for Men's Hockey. After the first half, Wales had much control of the game, leading 3-1. However, Scotland put their teamwork skills to the test in the second half and came up victorious, winning the match 4-3 over Wales.
One of this year's popular Senior essay topics was 'How can sport build peace in troubled communities?'. Participants chose to explore this topic in a variety of ways, including letters, poems, and imaginative stories. 'Sport enables the flourishing of the values of humanity, the creation of community based on equality and it empowers the community to control its own destiny', wrote a top Senior essay participant. Another entrant noted that 'sport is a powerful tool that helps troubled communities to rebuild relationships by healing old wounds. It can ignite and rekindle the spirit of patriotism among people of a nation to achieve peace and progress'. Although many nations within the Commonwealth struggle with issues such as poverty, child marriage, and lack of human rights, sport can give people from troubled communities a sense of hope. This was the case for Adrien Niyonshuti, a Rwandan cyclist who participated in the Glasgow Games. Niyonshuti lived through the 1994 Rwandan genocide, in which approximately 800,000 Rwandan citizens died in 100 days of fighting. However, years later, Niyonshuti has found a passion for the sport of cycling and has inspired many others within his country to do the same.
The Closing Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, which took place on August 3rd at Hampden Park, attracted 40,000 spectators to celebrate the end of 11 days of incredible competition. As Glasgow 2014 closes, it is important to reflect on the values that we celebrate in sport, whether it is unity, teamwork, hard work, determination or sportsmanship. These are values that we look forward to witnessing at the 2018 Games in Australia. In the meantime, here at the RCS, we look forward to reading the entries of the overall top winners and seeing in what ways this year theme, 'Team Commonwealth', has inspired them. The Commonwealth Essay Competition judging panel will gather on the 28th of August to determine the winners of the Junior and Senior categories; the results will be announced in early September.
