Exit the Messenger
Marathon was fought on a field of fennel.
Rama's army of monkeys built a bridge
to Ceylon. The day Alexander was born
a lunatic torched the temple at Ephesus.
Eli saw the Logos. At work in the sun
and in the pupil of the eye. The Dionysian
rites demand surrender to the supernatural.
Something happens behind the eye. Shrewdness
will not save you. Aquinas smashed Albertus'
Android. What's the Pope got to say about
Hypatia? What secrets died with Hiram?
Enkidu and Gilgamesh returned as Alexander
and Aristotle. I'll change into a bird and
hover over your golden penis. Melchizedek
lives. King Jason, not Pimp Ballio. Is any
martyr innocent? Only the lowest spirits are
attracted to blood sacrifices. Painful memories
are stored in the viscera. In one hand serpents,
in the other blades of corn. Helen mixed
poppies with mandrake and henbane. It was
the poison angel who seduced Eve.

We visit: the brand new Caci clinic in Johnsonville
Our Wellington correspondent Morgan Ashworth visited the brand new Caci clinic in Johnsonville for a Vitamin C Facial using Murad. Here's what it involves…
Along with celebrating twenty years of business in New Zealand, Caci Clinic are celebrating the opening of their thirtieth clinic, in Johnsonville, Wellington. I took a much-needed morning off work in the lead-up to Christmas to pop in see what Caci was all about.
In my mind Caci is somewhere on the spectrum between spa and cosmetic surgery, and I was right – they call it skincare and appearance medicine. I was going for a facial, but I wondered if they might offer me a touch of Botox here and a dermal roll there. Rather sensibly, of course, there was no such thing, although I suspect at 24 I'm not a prime candidate for any of these procedures. Instead my beauty therapist, Holly, took a comprehensive look at my skin's needs and my current skincare routine, and recommended a Murad Environmental Shield Vitamin C Facial ($128).
I'm one of those people who didn't go to a spa for ages cos I never knew how much clothing I was meant to remove, but Holly was a pro at letting me know how to prepare myself for the treatment. (Spoiler alert: you take your shirt off and fold your bra-straps down, but your whole body is covered with a blanket or towel and your dignity remains intact.) It's like going to a new bar and feeling anxious not knowing where the bathroom is. Is anyone else like that, or just me?
Being fairly new to the world of beauty therapy, I was excited to discover my facial would include a steam treatment and a touch of microdermabrasion. The Murad facial doesn't usually include microdermabrasion, but the Johnsonville Caci Clinic offers it as a separate procedure and it was great to try it out. The alternative is manual extractions, which I would say are as painful as getting a tattoo if they're not done right, but the microdermabrasion is effective and painless.
The Vitamin C Facial promises to show visible improvements after just one treatment, and that's not an exaggeration. My skin was a little red immediately after I left the spa, but by the time I got to work I was glowing. My skin felt and looked plumper, smoother and more radiant. Vitamin C is a powerfully effective ingredient for fading pigmentation and spots left by sun damage. I've been getting away with just BB cream instead of my regular, full-coverage foundation as the redness in my cheeks is so diminished.
I would expect nothing less from a company as well-respected as Caci, but I appreciated the addition of sunscreen and emphasis on the need for it at the end of the facial, especially after a facial that resurfaces the skin. The weather has been changeable in Wellington so far this month, but even with cloud cover, sunlight poses a real risk to your skin.
The Johnsonville Caci Clinic is at 98B Johnsonville Road, just outside the Johnsonville Shopping Centre. Parking is available at the mall and it's less than a ten minute drive from Wellington city. Sweet!

These types of posts have been done ad nauseam, but I'm putting together my own short list for a presentation so I thought I'd share.
They're not such a big deal in the grand scope of life, the universe and everything, in fact, these are far from the worst missteps you can take in programming.
However, seeing these same problems year after year drives me crazy. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.
It makes my soul hurt.
So without further ado, I present to you: My Top 4 JavaScript No-No List
#4 Use semi-colons!
There are a couple of well-written articles that defend this lack of punctuation, and they argue their position well. However, I have yet to see a reason NOT to use semi-colons.
Just because you can nitpick the common arguments, blaming bad tools and bad programmers, doesn't mean that you shouldn't err on the side of caution.
I'm a firm believe in coding conventions, good un-abbreviated naming, and doing things like always including curly braces after your ifs. The same arguments apply to all, but I think it's worth the extra effort to provide that extra level of unabiguity.
If these efforts have prevented a single bug, then it's worth the extra keystroke.
#3 Cache your DOM calls!
It's impossible to talk about JavaScript, without mentioning jQuery nowadays.
It's probably just the extra typing, and I'm showing my age here, but I rarely saw repeated document.getElementById-ing.I don't know what it is about the beloved library that make people think it's okay to keep $(searching) for the same element.
I cleaned up a function recently that queried the same DOM element 8 times in a single function. That's 8 times checking the search and 8 times the memory allocation every time that functions called, when only one was needed!
Here's what I'm on about:
Do This:
var anything = $('#id'); anything.likeThis();
Or Do This:
Just DON'T DO THIS!
$('#id').likeThis(); $('#id').andLikeThat(); $('#id').andLikeThis();
#2 Put it in a file!
- Files are easily minified, saving bandwidth and time
- Files get cached, saving bandwidth and time
- Files make re-use easier
- Files mean less noise in your html templates
- Files keep your behaviors code out of your markup
I'm having a hard time coming up with a con here.
If you need to set server-side variables in your JavaScript then you're probably doing it wrong. If you need your js in-line then again you're probably doing it wrong.
Read more about unobtrusive javascript here, and take a few minutes to consider alternative approaches next time you think about breaking this rule.
#1 Avoid Globals!
You knew this was coming, didn't you.
If you don't var your variables, then you're writing to the global scope. This means your variables can be written over by anyone else who's foolish enough to write to the global scope.
You may think that this doesn't matter. You may think that that your scripts will be the exception, and that they will live and operate in isolation for their enter lifetime. But can you really guarantee that?
And once again, ask yourself what is the downside?
In addition to being safer and promoting encapsulation, it also helps the maintainers narrow down the scope of there debugging. That's a pretty big pro.
I've spent countless hours over the last 10 years tracking down problems caused by overwritten globals, and it's a problem that's easily avoided with just three little letters.
In Conclusion
If you take a step back you'll see that there's a common theme here, and it applies to any language: Don't be lazy.
The time you save cutting these little corners is next to negligible, and often lead to really annoying problems down the road. If you're a professional developer, than you owe it to yourself to take the time to do it right. There are enough problems to contend with, without tripping over our own feet.
PS: Now that I'm off my high horse, I should admit that I've learned all of these lessons the hard way, and that I'm still working at it. 🙂

DTI urges bizmen to join online survey-A A +A
Friday, February 7, 2014
The survey results will enable the NCC to evaluate the experience of businessmen in the renewal process of their mayor's permit and to recommend appropriate measures, if needed, for concerned local government units (LGUs) to improve their services, particularly in the issuance of business permits and licenses.
DTI Regional Officer-in-Charge Sitti Amina Jain on Thursday also made a personal appeal for the full cooperation of business owners in the region to participate in the annual survey of the NCC.
"We want your feedback so we would know whether the BPLs streamlining initiatives we have undertaken jointly with the LGUs and the DILG in the region have indeed, resulted to a better, faster, more efficient, and more transparent services, especially those LGUs that have already undertaken the BPLS reforms," Jain explained.
She said business owners and respondents need only at most is five minutes to log on at www.competitive.org.ph, fill up the survey form and upload their reply.
The survey runs from January until February 14, this year, she said. (Bong Garcia)

Public transit doesn't have to be a total bummer if you've got a nice enough hub for it all to connect to. That seems to be the logic behind the upcoming 1.5-million-square-foot, San Francisco Transbay Transit Center. Some are calling it the city' "Grand Central," and if it lives up to the plans, it'll certainly be grand.
Designed by Cesar Pelli, and his office, Pelli Clarke Pelli, the gorgeous hub is still in its earliest construction phase, but new renderings are giving a peek into its potential awesomeness. The sprawling complex will take up three city blocks on its completion, and stand three stories tall. Its top will feature a 5.4-acre roof park designed by PWP Landscape Architecture, and three enormous skylights that bring some sun down to even the deepest levels of the structure. Mixed in with the greenery, the Transbay Hub will boast a wide variety hangout spaces like cafes, a playground, and even an amphitheater and cycling lanes.

Add:122 Zhongshan Rd N.
Tel:0571-8778 6062
One of Hangzhou's top time-honored pastry stores, Jiu Zhi Zhai was established in 1925 selling many varieties of preserved fruits and pastries - including sesame crunchy candies, peanut strips, mungbean cakes, red bean candies and coconut cookies.
Before the mid-1990s, most Hangzhou pastries were sweet, but Jiu Zhi Zhai created savory varieties - adding pickled vegetables and spiced salt - which found favor with Hangzhou locals.
The most popular pastry is the freshly made mooncake, containing pork and hot pickled mustard tuber. The mooncake is hot from the oven and tastes mellow and crisp.
Its reasonable price and delicious taste see queues forming to stock up on the tasty snack, especially during Mid-Autumn Festival.
While in the past Jiu Zhi Zhai attracted mostly older customers, several years ago management introduced new lines to attract younger pastry fans. Now, in addition to traditional fare, the shop offers Western pastries and cakes, and has succeeded in expanding its customer base.

NEW YORK – The Major League Soccer roster freeze date is Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011. All player signings, trades, and transactions must be completed as of 5 p.m. ET.
After the deadline, there may be no changes to the teams' rosters until the day after MLS Cup. Any player that is not listed as available after the deadline will remain ineligible for selection through the remainder of the regular season and the MLS Cup Playoffs. This includes players that are on the Disabled List or on loan.
Players currently on the Disabled List that may recover from injury after September 15 must be removed from the Disabled List prior to the 5:00 p.m. ET deadline. The club must make all necessary moves to ensure roster compliance by the deadline.
If a player's loan expires after roster freeze date, MLS clubs must make all necessary moves to accommodate the player's return by September 15.
Teams may add short term replacements after the roster freeze date in cases of extreme hardship. In the event a team calls up a player, including League Pool Goalkeepers, during the MLS Cup Playoffs and the player appears in a game, he will be tied to that team for the remainder of the playoffs and MLS Cup. If he is called up but does not play, then he is not tied to that team.

This was one of my longest big winners on the basis of a long-term hold. This stock rode the 50 DMA and 200 DMA like a champ. It has only recently closed below the 200 DMA after almost two years of a strong rally. This was an easy stock to hold as it gave very few scary moments and gave few "you must take profits on this move now" before finally ending its run. This was not a huge holding but it was an important holding as it was a great stock during a market that was on its last legs. late 2006 to now in 2008 has been a very tough time to find max green beauty stocks that work. Not only that Featured stocks are not working either. So the fact that this stock did so well for so long was very good for investors who know how to hold stocks for the big gains. If you held this stock from the breakout to the top, you were able to take away a 520% gain in one year and ten months.

Egroup Etiquette
- The email discussion forum is for members of the Serpentine Running Club to chat about running, triathlon, social events, and pretty much anything else they want. Not everything that is posted will be of interest to everyone, but we hope that you will find some of the messages useful.
- If you press reply to a message (other than the daily digest) then your reply goes to the person who sent the message. To send a message to the whole list, you must address it to email@example.com.
- Please do not include in your message the text of the message you are replying to. Some email software does this automatically: please either switch this off, or remember to delete it each time before you send your message. Repeating messages clogs up everyone's mailbox and is particularly frustrating for people who get the daily digest. By all means quote selectively from the message you are replying to, so that people know what you are talking about, but quote the minimum necessary to give the context.
- When setting 'out of office' to reply automatically to emails when you are away from your desk please set a rule so that this does not apply to egroup messages, and avoid the whole egroup tracking your days off and holidays.
- Remember that attachments to messages cannot be accessed by people who get the daily digest. Instead, you might want to put the gist of an attachment into your mail message, or send it to the webmaster to be put on the website.
- Please do not post messages about swapping race entries/numbers without first gaining approval to do so from the race organiser. Once you have permission please say so when you post to the group.
- Please do not send messages which might be considered offensive (e.g. racist or sexist). We all want to have fun, but not at the expense of others.
- Please do not send off-topic commercial messages, or messages offering Serpie discounts on your goods and services. You should send this information to the external liaison officer first.
- You may send non-commercial off-topic messages to the group (e.g. if you're looking for a flatmate who also has an interest in running), and on-topic commercial messages (e.g. if you have a running and tri-related business and think members would be interested) but we reserve the right to request prolific and blatant advertisers tone it down. And just to reiterate that off-topic, commercial messages are NEVER appropriate (e.g. if you are a landlord letting your whole flat). You will be kicked off the egroup if you abuse it.

Judge Kent Doffs Robe for Good . . . In 2010
Texas federal judge Samuel Kent officially announced his resignation on Tuesday. But the news seems to have mostly angered members of the House Judiciary Committee, who are slated to begin impeachment hearings on Kent today.
HJC members were riled up because Kent's resignation does not take effect immediately, but on June 1, 2010, meaning he'll be able to keep his $174,000 salary for another year. Click here for the Houston Chron story.

Leading up to what, for many reasons, should be an enthralling 2013 season, I'll be creating some visual representations of data containing a number of interesting insights into the J.League and the wider of issues surrounding the growth of football in Japan. This post, which relates to the prefectures of birth of J.League Division 1 and 2 squad members at the end of the 2012 season, uses two methods to look at the same data. Initially each prefecture was accorded a simple total of squad members born inside their respective boundaries, and later, in an attempt to assess which prefectures could be regarded as the "football hotbeds" of Japan, I calculated that same number of players in the context of the relevant prefectural population.

The All-Time J.League Best XIs
The 2012 J.League awards ceremony was held on 3 December, Hisato Sato, a number of his teammates and manager Hajime Moriyasu rightly honoured as one of the most impressive, inventive and attractive sides of recent years claimed the league title. The inclusion of a number of players in the 2012 J.League Best XI caused some surprise, however, not the least of which was Vegalta Sendai's Wilson being named ahead of either Leandro or teammate Shingo Akamine. Nonetheless, with 2012 also being the 20th anniversary of the instigation of Japan's professional football league, it is time to reflect upon the selection of those players who were considered the best in their positions for each of those twenty years, and devise an "All-Time Best XI" comprising exclusively Japanese players and a further wholly foreign team. Owing to the likelihood of a number of positions featuring players to have been included an equal number of times, certain tie-breaking criteria were determined as follows:
Number of Times in Best XI; If equal
Number of Times named MVP; If still equal
Number of Title Wins; If still equal
Player's Regular Position
Consadole Sapporo: The worst team in J.League history? (Updated)
(Kashima Antlers set a 2012 J.League season record with a 7-0 victory over Consadole Sapporo on Matchday Twelve. Consadole would concede seven times for a second time on 25 August, thrashed 7-2 by fellow relegated club Gamba Osaka)
34 games. Just four wins. Only 25 goals scored, and 88 conceded. Fourteen points. This is the record of Consadole Sapporo, relegated to J.League Division Two on Matchday 27. Their average of 0.41 points per game, saw them finish the 2012 campaign with an historic low points total. Tthe question posed here is whether are they are now officially the worst side to have ever appeared in the top flight of Japanese professional football.
On this day in J.League history …
(Rodrigo receives a pass from compatriot Will, and he slots past Vissel Kobe goalkeeper Fumiya Iwamaru to score his second of the match and Oita Trinita's eighth. The 8-0 win for the Azzurro remains the biggest win without conceding a goal and the joint highest aggregate victory in J.League history)
26 July 2003
Matchday Fourteen of the 2003 season's first stage saw Oita Trinita travel to the Kobe Wing Stadium to face Vissel. Trinita, managed by Shinji Kobayashi, languished in fifteenth position in a league of only sixteen clubs, and had won only three of their matches, scoring just twelve times in thirteen games. Vissel, who had been steadily improving upon their league finishes since their promotion to the J.League in 1997, were five points clear in tenth, but were a club under increasing financial pressure, an issue that would result in their sale to Rakuten's parent group just six months later, and Hiroshi Mikitani's caustic decision to change their home strip to crimson from their traditional black and white stripes.
On this day in J.League history …
(Tatsuya Tanaka opens the scoring in the 30th minute for Urawa Red Diamonds as they visit an unbeaten Kawasaki Frontale on Matchday Fourteen of the 2006 J.League season. A second goal without reply would seal the win, Yuichiro Nagai netting with fourteen minutes to play.)
22 July 2006
League leaders Kawasaki Frontale welcomed an Urawa Red Diamonds side lying four points behind in third place to the Todoroki Athletic Stadium on Matchday Fourteen of the 2006 season. Takashi Sekizuka's men were unbeaten at their home ground, but had been particularly impressive on their travels, winning six of their seven matches outside Kanagawa Prefecture, a 1-0 loss to Ventforet Kofu the only blemish on their record.
Gates in the J.League – a cause for concern? (Part 3)
From 1965 to 1992 top-level football in Japan was played in the Japan Soccer League (JSL), the precursor to the J.League, but in a format largely distinct to the full-time professional structure the domestic game enjoys, and that to which contemporary observers are accustomed. Beyond the absence of professionalism, teams were owned by corporations under whose name they played and facilities they often used. Hitachi Ltd, Nissan Motors, and Sumitomo Metals became the more familiar Kashiwa Reysol, Yokohama F-Marinos and Kashima Antlers in today's configuration, though their former patronage and historical imprint is still recognisable in the name of their stadia or sponsor. In the case of Kashima, who spent significantly both on foreign players and in the construction of their clubhouse and training facilities, this patronage continued into the professional game as Sumitomo Metals rather wryly side-stepped one of the J.League's founding ideals regarding a prohibition on sponsorship, in declaring a payment of ¥2 billion for a discrete company logo on a player's jersey as advertising expenses.
Gates in the J.League – a cause for concern? (Part 2)
Any discussion of spectator attendance and community participation in the J.League is made all the more instructive by reference to Kashima Antler's formative years, and in particular how a district of then just 45,000 people could satisfy the J.League's entry criteria, which included a stadium of a minimum 15,000 capacity. Full attendance at league matches was, in essence, not seen viable for any cities of less than 100,000 residents, and Kashima's population did not even meet the Japanese government's formal benchmark to be designated as a town at that time, making any application to become an inaugural J.League member highly unlikely to succeed.

Here Come The Brides: Same Sex Maine Couple Win $100K Dream Wedding From Magazine Contest
Gotta love those progressive folks in Maine! A pair of single ladies in Maine will soon be wives — to each other– and they'll get to do it in grand style thanks to their win in a recent magazine contest that will sponsor their $100,000 dream wedding.
Via NBCNews reports:
A magazine in Maine awarded a $100,000 wedding to a same sex couple on Sunday during its annual contest, making the pair the first gay couple to take home the highly sought after prize.
Jenna Eagleton and Caroline Currie of Portland, Maine beat out three other couples to win the Real Maine Weddings competition.
Couples submited a video to the magazine's website explaining why they deserve a free dream wedding, and the public votes on their favorite.
Eagleton and Currie were the first gay couple to enter the contest. A gay marriage referendum was approved in Maine last November, and same-sex marriage has been legal in the state since December.
"It really makes a statement, it really shows that yes, this is OK, this is right and this is the way things are," Eagleton told Bangor, Maine's WLBZ.
The couple plans to wed in October in Kennebunkport, according to the RealMaineWeddings website.
The prize will go towards weddings expenses like the bridal gown, tuxedos, rings and flowers. The public will have the chance to vote on many of the decisions that go into planning the wedding along the way.
"Love is love, I mean, that's it," said Currie.
Congrats, they're a cute couple riiiiiiiight? Just sayin'. You know times are changing when the public is deciding they like gay couples better than straight ones in a contest.

Merry Christmas Eve! Here's what's been going on today.
Stripe to power online payments for Sony's "The Interview"... Sony announced that they would indeed screen "The Interview," the controversial film about North Korea starring Seth Rogan and James Franco. But today, they also added that the film would be available to rent on YouTube, Xbox, and seetheinterview.com. Stripe, the up-and-coming payments processing startup, will be assisting Sony with the payments for the film on seetheinterview.com. CEO Patrick Collison wrote on the company blog, "We're happy to be involved because we think it's important that the internet remains an impartial platform."
EMV will have widespread effect on fraud... It's not just us who have beeng saying it, but now CIO Magazine writes that the US's shift to EMV will help credit card fraud. It reaffirms that as offline fraud has decreased in past EMV deployments, online fraud (card not present) has gone up.
WunWun CEO talks Amazon One-Hour Delivery Service... WunWun, a popular one-hour delivery service based in New York City, is facing a new competitor in Amazon (we tested out their one-hour delivery service recently). But CEO Lee Hnetinka isn't too worried -- he spoke to Re/Code about the growing on-demand economy.

Transitioning to a New Local Economy in Your Community
Reconomy is an economic reform strategy proposed by the Transition Network. It is based upon a decentralized, local economy which builds up a community's' economic independence and resiliency in a way friendly to planet and people.
We hope our work contributes to a growing body of evidence about the potential of community
economic development to "redistribute economic power, reduce disconnection, inequality and
vulnerability to economic failure", and inspires others to undertake similar projects. – Totnes & District Local Economic Blueprint
Localism is a recent buzzword but it's roots are as ancient as humanity. Small communities have been the mainstay of human civilization and large urban centers are a fairly recent phenomena of the last few centuries, a product of capitalism and industrialized technocracy. Indeed, small communities can be seen as the natural pre-cursor to the large urban megapolis which are predicted to be home of the majority of human civilization. The trend towards urbanization has also been accompanied by a redistribution of wealth towards those urban centers. Large cities and their surroundings account for the majority of the world's wealth, resource usage as well as pollution. Recognition of this fact by groups such as the C40 initiative promise to address climate change issues where national governmental efforts such as the Kyoto Protocol have failed.
The Transition Movement and Reconomy are rural and community-based solutions to climate change and a host of other problems. Communities are experiencing a resurgence of localism. A 2013 report entitled Totnes & District, Local Economic Blueprint provides a template that will help any community wanting to move in the same direction. It was released by the UK community of Totne (one of the epi-centers of the Transition movement) consolidates the power of localism.
Outcomes of the Totnes Local Economic Blueprint
One of the main outcomes of the report is that there is tremendous opportunity available by identifying what localist economists such as Michael Shuman call leakage…the amount of money leaking out of the local economy. In this respect, Totnes findings are not surprising and are consistent with Shuman's study results. Once a community determines how much potential income is leaking out of the local economy, the next step is to devise an import substitution strategy. The leakage analysis and import substitution strategy go hand-in-hand and usually follow each other logically.
Figure 1: Totnes leakage analysis shows the production and consumption opportunity (Source: Totnes & District Local Economic Blueprint )
Figure 1:
When we look at our 200 or so local suppliers, we see that they produce far more food and drink than our local area buys. Of course this is also to meet demand elsewhere and Riverford, for example, has a major impact on our figures. But how much do we spend on local produce today? A report on our local food web18 by the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) suggests that around £8m is spent on products from the local area (up to 30 miles), which indicates that the other £22m of our retail spend goes on products imported from elsewhere in the region, the country or the world. – Totnes & District Local Economic Blueprint
Our data indicates that we currently have about 380 food related businesses in T&D: they
employ just over 1,500 people or around 14% of all those employed, and their total turnover is
around £114m. Of this, we are especially interested in what households spend on food and drink
in the retail shops, reflecting demand for products for home consumption, which is about 31% of
total sector turnover as shown in figure 2. This equates to a total spend of around £30m pa on
food and drink for consuming at home.
. – Totnes & District Local Economic Blueprint
To effectively scaleup environmental stewardship, sustainability must become an integral part of our socio-economic system. The Transition Network's REconomy Project has performed a detailed local economic evaluation to see what the economic potential is in key areas of local sustainable practices. The pilot was carried out with Transition Hereford (a rural county), Transition City Manchester (a city) and Transition Town Totnes (a market town). Forecasting how much revenue and how many jobs exist within a re-localised food sector can produce valuable information that can help get the attention of key organisations (ie. local council) that might not yet understand the true potential of a new economy.
The REconomy team are now starting to create a generic, replicable process that can be used by any community to do similar work – to estimate the potential of a new economy, primarily in terms of quantitative economic value – jobs and revenue – but also exploring social and environmental benefits.
The study's obective was to ensure that this Transition economic model was taken seriously by community business leaders and can scale.
What kind of local economy do we want?
- The first thing to do is to invite local 'stakeholders' to a workshop to explore what kind of local economy is desired
- These stakeholders are typically senior representatives of the local organisations with a remit for, or an interest in, our economic planning
"The purpose of our local economy is to maximise the happiness and wellbeing of our entire community – to create an abundance of opportunity to satisfy our needs, and use and distribute resources fairly – in a way that respects natural limits."
Growth in happiness and wellbeing is critical and this is connected to economic well being.
What questions do we want to answer?
The team decided to investigate the 4 sectors that play an important role in the community's sustainability and resilience:
- food – food independence and security
- retrofitting – adapt existing buildings to sustainable ones
- renewables – benefiting from renewable energy
- care & wellbeing – taking care of health, the most vulnerable people and exploring the gift economy
Questions that arose in the food sector were:
- How much do we spend on food and drink here today?
- Where is this money spent?
- What's the value of the food and drink we produce locally?
- How much do we spend on local produce?
This effort was repeated for each of the 4 sectors. Once sufficient data was gathered for each sector, a small group of local experts discussed the findings, and suggested a number of projects that could turn the potential opportunities into reality.

* KKR teams up with Rhone Capital for $3.1 bln takeover offer
* TPG has matched KKR-Rhone offer - source
* KKR plans to offload vineyards, brands - bankers
* KKR May relist revamped company in U.S. under Penfolds name - banker
By Denny Thomas and Stephen Aldred
HONG KONG, Aug 12 (Reuters) - A KKR & Co-led takeover of Australia's Treasury Wine Estates Ltd would likely lead to a long and drastic overhaul, resulting in a much smaller but more profitable company, bankers familiar with the matter said.
KKR, which has teamed up with Rhone Capital for its $3.1 billion proposal, will also look at a U.S. listing for the revamped business which would be centred on upmarket labels and would likely be renamed Penfolds for its flagship brand, one person said.
The KKR-Rhone bid was matched this week by a rival private equity firm, which a source with direct knowledge of the matter has said is TPG Capital Management LP. But KKR-Rhone have put in far more work, bankers say, and Australia media have reported the group has secured financing for the deal - giving them a significant head start.
Treasury Wine, one of the world's largest wine companies with 83 brands, has seen profits slump in the past three years, hurt by a global wine glut that pushed down prices and led to the costly destruction of some U.S. inventory.
Given the challenges, bankers do not expect KKR, if successful in its bid, to fully exit the business in 6-7 years, which is its average holding period for an investment.
"This is not a short-term play, there are a lot of challenges to overcome," a separate banker said. "They have to patiently go through the restructuring, sell vineyards and brands to make it work. It is not going to be easy," the person added.
The competing bids are for A$5.20 per share. KKR this month roped in fellow buyout firm Rhone Capital to help sweeten by 11 percent a rebuffed April offer. That persuaded the company, which has been working on its own restructuring steps under new CEO Michael Clarke, to open its books.
The bid was then matched by TPG on Monday, pushing the vintner's shares to A$5.33, 44 percent higher than levels seen just before KKR's first proposal.
KRR and Rhone declined to comment on plans for the company if a takeover went ahead. TPG's plans for Treasury Wine were not immediately known. An external spokeswoman for TPG declined to comment.
Treasury Wine's corporate affairs director, Roger Sharp, told Reuters that Clarke "is confident that the strategic roadmap laid out by the company is the right one and will be strongly supported by whoever owns the company."
Bankers said some underperforming brands as well as some vineyards in Australia would likely be sold off but the company would retain higher margin labels. Some of its better known brands include Beringer, Lindemans and Wolf Blass.
KKR and Rhone would also be looking to capitalise on opportunities to sell more wine in China, where consumption has climbed 136 percent in the past five years and where growth in e-commerce is expected to continue to boost demand from second and third-tier cities.
VATS Liquor Chain Store Management Co, China's biggest distributor of alcoholic beverages, in which KKR has an undisclosed stake, would help manage sales, the people said.
Clarke, who took over on March 31, has embarked on restructuring that includes a A$260 million impairment charge on the value of its wine brands. The company will also separate out management of its lower-end brands from its more prestigious ones in Australia as it has begun to do in the United States.
A food and beverage industry veteran of more than 20 years who led a significant turnaround at Britain's Premier Foods Plc , Clarke also advised KKR last year on a $2.5 billion bid for GlaxoSmithKline's Lucozade and Ribena soft drinks.
But he has so far disappointed analysts who have long been calling for the company to spin off either Penfolds or Penfolds and other upmarket labels into a separate company.
Morningstar analyst Daniel Mueller said spinning off the better part of the portfolio - which accounts for around 15 percent of Treasury Wine's sales - could leave the rest of the listed business without sufficient support. But he added that private equity would have more leeway.
"KKR...might have potential buyers lined up for all the different pieces. Its U.S. business has struggled for a number of years and there may be a logical buyer," he said.
"There are so many ways it could be chopped up into private hands." (Reporting by Denny Thomas and Stephen Aldred. Additional reporting by Byron Kaye in Sydney; Editing by Edwina Gibbs)

This would be the one I tried for the job, didn't get, then got. Well one of the awards given for is an Exceptional volunteer award. It is named after one of the volunteers that passed away. I happened to know him we volunteered for a short time together. I was blown away that I got an award at all. I figured that with me being an employee now that I wouldn't get one. But they recognised my work from all the year before. I actually cried. Of course the people I was sitting with teased me. So a week into the new job (oy is it a challenge getting things to work out) it felt good knowing that even though I was going through all that emotional upheaval that they didn't recognize my work and poof they really did. It felt good. beth

I understood the term Arab Spring also to be just a shorthand way of encapsulating the broad set of events,...
The "shorthand," tends to give the wrong information to the LIV (low information voters). Plus, from a geographical standpoint, Persia really is the "Near East."
I understand your point, though. What would you now call the so called "Arab spring?"
I call it -- "The drive to create a new Caliphate".

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – A family is safe after a fire broke inside their mobile home Thursday evening.
Lafayette Fire crews responded to the scene around 7:21 p.m. in the 100 block of Avalon Street after the fire was reported by a neighbor.
The flames were venting through a bedroom window, prompting firefighters to enter the building and extinguish the fire in about fifteen minutes.
Spokesman Alton Trahan says four adults and two children were outside when crews arrived and the father and his infant son were covered in soot.
The two were transported to a local hospital for further evaluation after concerns of smoke inhalation, especially with the infant.
Both were later released.
Fire investigators determined that the fire was started in one of the bedrooms when a 3 year old was apparently playing with a cigarette lighter and accidentally caught the bedding material on fire.
The 3 year old alerted his parents and they were able to escape.
The fire was ruled accidental.

Title : Potential Role of the Tumor Suppressor ADENOMATOUS POLYPOSIS COLI in Polarization of Breast Epithelial Cells.
Descriptive Note : Annual rept. 15 Jul 96-14 Jul 97

Abstract : Recent evidence suggests that the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene participates in breast tumorigenesis. Although a precise biological function for APC protein has not yet been determined, it has been shown that the APC protein interacts with beta-catenin and plakoglobin in vivo. Beta-catenin and plakoglobin are components of two specialized anchoring junctions, the adherens junction, a site of attachment for bundles of actin filaments, and the desmosome, a site of attachment for intermediate filaments (e.g. keratin). A direct correlation has been shown between loss of adherens junction components and the metastatic potential of breast cancer. I have used a combination of immunofluorescence microscopy and biochemical fractionation to determine the location of APC protein in epithelial cells from both normal and breast cancer tissue. APC protein was located in the nucleus and the cytoplasm of all breast epithelial cells tested. APC protein concentrated at the edge of breast epithelial cells was eliminated by disruption of keratin filaments and microtubules, but not by actin disruption. APC protein appeared tightly associated with intermediate filaments of the normal breast epithelial cell following sequential extraction. These findings are consistent with APC protein interacting with intermediate filaments, but not with actin filaments.

An original poem by Barbara Novack
I was the wild tree
that grows in sidewalk cracks,
braving life that will not yield:
I would not yield.
I was golden yellow light,
an intensity tolerated because the days are long
and the nights are balmy
and the breeze is soft on naked skin.
Summer presses but does not push.
I was the storm that quick-darkens
and flashes light
and rolls its sound across the sky,
breaking solid blocks of heat
to pebble drops
on windowpanes.
I was calico,
a madness of color
that makes people smile.
I was youth,
merely a mood
that changed.
The tree was pulled up by the roots,
the street repaved.
Golden yellow light faded
to autumnal dusk.
The storm aged, white and silent
and cold.
And the calico was cut
to a pattern.
I remember the fireflies
I used to catch and bottle
to own their light,
to save a beauty
that gasped and died.
And only now
can I empathize.

By age 26, he said he had already built his 5 bedroom all ensuite mansion in Karen where his immediate family currently resides.
He was also known as Lord Juma for his habit of dishing out millions of shillings to people from his home town whenever he visited the County. He was said to travel with money in his car's boot on such trips.
He was also involved in legal cases where he sued the government and various companies for billions of shillings for infringing on his economic rights.

Gene Kerrigan: Let's show them what 'together' means
It is only by being ruthless with the elite that we can save our State from total ruin, writes Gene Kerrigan
In these freaky times, we could do worse than heed the words of Brian Cowen. The Taoiseach recently told the Dail: "We really are all in this together." I know he's an awful eejit, I know his record is dreadful -- but maybe there's something to be gained from accepting that we "really are all in this together".
Look around. We now accept as normal things that once we would have denounced as outrageous. Last Wednesday, for example, our EU "partners" borrowed €5bn on our behalf. At an interest rate of 2.59 per cent. And next Tuesday, they will pass the money to our Mr Lenihan. And they'll charge us interest at 5.515 per cent.
Our "partners" will make a profit of almost 3 per cent on the €5bn (and all the other billions they'll borrow to lend to us). In fact, they'll make more from the deal than the moneylenders from whom the €5bn is coming. This is called a "bailout". Gee, thanks, "partners". Every hard-working citizen paying income tax, every unemployed citizen paying VAT on a pair of socks or a sliced pan, will pay for this "bailout" right into the next generation and beyond.

Pupils at private school quizzed in murder probe after classmate, 16, dies
THREE pupils from a private school in Jersey were released on bail tonight after being questioned on suspicion of murder following the death of a 16-year-old boy.
Morgan Huelin, whose death sparked a murder probe, and, Jersey's Victoria College
They were arrested along with two other youths after their classmate Morgan Huelin was found dying in the street.
Police have been told the victim and some suspects had been to a house party near the spot where he was found by a woman walking her dog.
Four of the five suspects are aged 16 and one is 15.
Morgan and three of those detained were at £4,500-a-year Victoria College, which counts TV racing pundit John McCririck among past pupils.
Detectives visited the 165-year-old school in the capital St Helier to speak to staff and pupils.
The alarm was raised at 9.45am on Saturday. Morgan was alive when he reached hospital but died later. The cause of his death had not been established.
The woman who called 999 said later that two of those arrested were standing nearby when she found the dying teenager and they told her they had been to a party.
Flags at Morgan's school were at half-mast and boys in his year were offered specialist counselling. Pupils laid flowers outside the school chapel.
Headteacher Alun Watkins said: "Morgan was highly respected by staff and his peers."
Friends used social networking sites to pay tribute to the guitar-playing rugby enthusiast, who came from a farming family and had bred his own prize-winning cows.
Jaime Boylan wrote online: "So very, very tragic."
Morgan was highly respected by staff and his peers
Tracy Jameson added: "Always in our thoughts. Such a lovely young man from a lovely family."
Up to 24 officers were conducting searches and house-to-house inquiries.
Detective Chief Superintendent Stewart Gull, leading the inquiry, said: "The post-mortem examination is key and I suspect we will need to undertake toxicology work."
The teenagers were last night released on bail.
Jersey police confirmed that the five males had been bailed until August 10.

Role of cardiovascular proteins in Alzheimer's
The work, described in a paper published online Dec. 21 in the journal Nature Cell Biology, provides hard evidence directly linking two processes believed to be at play in Alzheimer's disease: reduction in blood flow and the buildup of toxic amyloid beta. The research makes the interaction between the two proteins a seductive target for scientists seeking to address both issues.
Researchers were surprised at the finding, which puts two proteins known for their role in the cardiovascular system front and center in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
"This is quite unexpected," said Berislav Zlokovic, M.D., Ph.D., a neuroscientist and a senior author of the study. "Conversely, both of these processes are mediated by the smooth muscle cells along blood vessel walls, and we know that those are seriously compromised in patients with Alzheimer's disease, so perhaps we shouldn't be completely surprised".........

On our visit to Banff for Christmas 2012, we discovered to our delight the Waldhaus restaurant, nestled at the foot of the Banff Springs Hotel overlooking Bow Falls. This is a lovely old building going back to the 1920's created out of brick and wood. It reminded me of being in Bavaria.
We had a window seat with a great view of the Rockies and surrounding woods. This was the first time in a number of years that this restaurant/pub was open in the winter time. We enjoyed casual but delightful food. My daughter mentioned that the French onion soup was the best she's ever tasted. I had a hot pretzel prepared just for me with all the right spices. Our server Steve was great and gave us just the right attention. The place was full of cheerful clientele, we were all in a pre-christmas mood and hope to return soon.

One thing that has caught my eye today as the dust settled after last night's loss is the attitudes of the coaches about the game. First we have Doc:
"Our guys don't care," coach Doc Rivers said. "We want to get healthy. And when we get healthy, we're willing to lace them up against anybody."
Seems like a fair enough statement that kind of shrugs off the loss as no big deal. This also leaves the team with a mindset that we will get them when it counts. Not surprising at all given the circumstances. Stan Van Gundy however is tired of hearing the Celtics talk down their big losses:
"I want to know how some teams get on the list, where they get excuses and other teams are not on that list. All I've been hearing about is all the injury problems the Celtics have had this year," Van Gundy said.
My reaction in seeing both of these quotes is wondering aloud about whether Van Gundy does in fact have a valid point here. After putting some thought into it, I have decided to counter his complaints with a couple explanations on why the Celtics are able to cling to excuses after they have dropped two recent showdowns with playoff implications to the Magic:
1) The Boston Celtics are the defending champions. The Orlando Magic did not make it past the second round last year. That may not matter to Stan Van Gundy but it does to the media and fans at large. The Celtics have proved they can win it all so they have earned the benefit of the doubt, especially when it is clear they are not at full strength as a team. Since this was the case the last two times these teams went head to head with the Celtics losing, these results are not going to change many people's opinion on who is the better team. This brings me to my next point.
2) The Orlando Magic are as healthy right now as they are going to be this season. What you see right now with the Magic is what you are going to get. Of course the injury to Jameer Nelson hurts, but the fact of the matter is he is not going to be suiting up again this year. End of story. Therefore Orlando does not have any injury excuses that are relevant to the playoff discussion right now.
On the other hand, all of the Boston Celtics injuries can be used as excuses because those players WILL be back at full strength for the playoffs. (hopefully) So when Doc makes a statement like the one above, he can hang his hat on it to keep his team's confidence high after a rocky stretch since he knows those players like Kevin Garnett, Leon Powe, and Tony Allen will be making a more complete impact on this team before this year is over.
The way I see it right now Orlando is in a similar position to where Boston was last year. They have made a nice run during the regular season but they have proven nothing yet and won't be able to until the playoffs start. The Celtics had plenty of doubters last year especially in the finals, but they went out, got the job done, and earned the nation's respect. Along with that respect came the right to have injury excuses. Orlando isn't in that category yet. Before I go, one more quote from Van Gundy
"All I know is, we've beaten a lot of the teams that everyone thinks are better than us. The perception of us does not always match up with reality. We're not feared defensively, but I'll put us up against anyone in the league when it comes to being ready to play night in and night out."
That's a true statement and it would serve the coach well to instill that chip on the shoulder attitude in his players. For now though to put it simply, the Magic need to prove they can win in the postseason. They have to show that they can play as at an elite level when it counts. Until then, the doubters will (rightfully) remain.
See you in May.

Body and Mind. Two sides of the same coin.
Body and mind. Two sides of the same coin.
Positive Thinking
There's lots of talk out there at the moment about the power of positive thinking. There's books on how the mind can heal the body and as a Laughter Yoga Leader I know inherently that the brain responds immensely to what's going on in the body and vice-versa. In Laughter Yoga we start off by simulating laughter initially. This fake laughter sends signals to our brain and our body then responds! When we fake laugh our body can't tell the difference between fake and real laughter so we can get all the awesome benefits without even laughing for real!
Did you see the blog on The Huffington Post recently about the way an apple responds to negative comments? – yes, you read that right, an apple. Here's the gist: one apple, cut in half. One half gets told negative things every day and one half gets told positive things every day. Guess which one goes rotten first? The difference is AMAZING!
The connection between the body and mind
We've known for a while now that exercise can release endorphins, our feel good hormones. We know that hugging releases oxytocin, the hormone responsible for the warm fuzzy feeling that relaxes us and helps us feel safe. Studies now show that being around trees can reduce our cortisol (stress hormone) levels too. What I'm describing is actually different ways that the mind can affect the body and the body can affect the mind. Sounds kind of obvious, but did you know that there is a literal translation that happens between the brain and the body and body and the brain?
To illustrate what I mean I need to share my favourite quote of all time (this quote is my phone wallpaper!). Roald Dahl said:
"When you think good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely".
And he's absolutely right.
Good thoughts = more positivity = things like improved posture, lighter facial expressions, more outward confidence, more physical energy.
Bad thoughts = more negativity = slumped shoulders, feet dragging, moaning and generally feeling lacking in physical motivation.
Quick Relaxation Tips
What this means is that if we swap around what our body is doing we can affect our mind too! If you feel stressed you can really easily spend just a few seconds changing your body and you will absolutely alter your mindset too. I did a video recently on how to relax in 1 second which covers this.
This talk given by a mentor of mine, Dr David Hamilton, illustrates what I'm saying from a scientific perspective. Have a watch here.
I love little snippets of information like this, especially from a scientific perspective as it helps me to understand how my work as an Ecotherapist can help. I'm going to be doing a lot more training in science-based coaching soon so watch out for more blogs like this!
Mindset is key to self-development, to moving things forward and achieving the things you want to achieve. Looking after your mind is essential and if you loved this blog and want to work on your mindset more you'd love my online membership club The Retreat.

Why Not
Beno RidezFacebook Twitter
Artist Bio:
Camden bred, Staten Island raised and Philadelphia made Ralph Collins is an on the rise young talented rapper. Known by moniker "Beno Ridez" Beno realized his love and interest for music at the age of 15. In the beginning the reception from his music was far from positive, but that didn't discourage him. His talent has quickly dubbed him as one of the best upcoming Philadelphia based rappers today. Beno Ridez may seem to some as soft-spoken guy with a laid back personality, but his music portrays quite the opposite. His music is a direct reflection of emotions and experiences faced growing up. Vowing to always stay true in his music through his positive messages and word play the young lyricist has gained much popularity, which landed him on some big stages. Beno Ridez has been spotlighted at renowned venues and locations opening for artists all through Philadelphia. Places such as the TLA, The Trocodero, Dobbs, the Art garage as well as many other showcases. Even in the early stages of his career, Beno has accomplished quite a bit with notable projects such as "A Higher Plane, " The Field, "Thinking Music," and, "The Shift". Also Beno's music is featured on Reverb Nation, You Tube, as well as Sound Cloud. Growing up and having to move from place to place and deal with certain hardships as a youth didn't do anything to halt his career. Beno had a vision at a young age and was determined to pursue and accomplish it. Even on the cusp to really achieve major things Beno still will not stop to until he and his brand are synonymous to hip hop music. With upcoming plans including: showcases, print and radio, music and video releases, Beno is well on his way. On the path to the success and through his music he'll be able to stay relevant now and for years to come. His mentally, "I'm not going to quit, I'm never going to fail," will be the reason why Hip Hop heads can rest assure the genre is in good hands.

Michael Moore is known for his bombastic and take-no-prisoners style. He has made multiple films and television shows, each with a clear political bent and a specific issue as its target. His movies like Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 created controversy and conversation all over the country. He was an avowed opponent of President Trump during the election last year, even though he was one of the first to warn of the possibility of the Republican candidate winning. From the state of Michigan, a state Trump won by around 10,000 votes despite its history of leaning Democratic, Moore has always had an inside look on the Rust Belt. His premiere film, Roger and Me, was about the disappearance of auto factory jobs in his home town.
Well now, it looks as if Moore plans to take his attitude and his wit to Broadway in a new play that targets the new president directly. He is putting together a one man show entitled "The Terms of My Surrender", and he hopes it has a chance of taking Trump down a peg or two.
Moore has been somewhat cagey about the format of the new production. He claims that it will not be stand-up, and it will not be a TED talk. He will occasionally have others make appearances, and he promises that the topics will remain current as news develops. He called it, "…a very developed piece of entertainment for people who like to think."
"I don't know if I would call it a play; but it is a theater piece," Mr. Mayer said. "There is going to be a certain amount of rabble-rousing. There's a good chance we'll have some surprise guests throughout the run, and some surprise postshow excursions that will vary night to night."
While Moore's theatrical experience is limited, his entertainment resume is quite extensive, including his movies, two television shows, multiple books, and internet videos. He promises something new and unique
The show will run for twelve weeks, beginning in July. He plans on doing eight shows per week.

Mac Funamizu
is a tech geek, designer, and futurist who has created quite a lot of
buzz among design circles for his innovative gadgets from the future.
The 38-year old Tokyo native has always loved Apple, Google, and
Starbucks, but he always felt inconvenienced by the extra steps
involved in using them. (Why mouth off a complex multi-conditional
order of coffee when you could just customize your cup of joe online?
Why doesn't Google Maps give you more than just a topographic image of
what you're looking at?) At first, his ideas were just rough sketches
in his Moleskine. But then he started posting his neat, provocative
ideas online, and now developers are contacting him to try and make
some of them a reality.
