"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet." – William Shakespeare
Aussie flora is typically dry and busy. I never expected to see beautiful blooming flowers in Melbourne. I guess I was in the right place at the right time. They made me happy, so I'm sharing them with you. Smell the roses. Ashcombe Rose Maze is lovely 🙂

Solar energy can provide eyesight to the blind
For many patients suffering from almost total blindness, the lack of hope is often as hard as their illness, since there are no medical solutions which can provide them with an almost normal eyesight, and an almost normal everyday life.
A solution might be coming from California, and more specifically from Stanford University, where a group of researchers is working on an artificial prosthetic retina of extremely small size (only 3 millimeters wide and 0.03 millimeters thick), which is capable of transmitting the images gathered towards an external videocamera.
The receiving camera, in turn, sends images towards a pocket PC, on which an image management software is installed; the images are finally sent towards an LCD display mounted on the inside of a pair of special glasses.
The transfer of data towards the sensor, as well as the supply of power to make it work, is carried out via the very light that enters the eye; in fact, the chip is literally covered with microscopic solar cells, which provide the necessary amount of power once the implant has been placed on the back of the patient's retina. For each pixel, the sensor has three miniature photovoltaic cells.
In short, this prosthetic eye is effectively powered by solar energy. At the current stage, since we are talking about a project still in its inception phase, it is capable of providing eyesight of 1/10, a level which, technically, still qualifies the patient as legally blind.
Once the development reaches further steps, researchers can foresee that a level of at least 2710 will be reached, enough to carry out basic functions such as recognizing faces, and slightly improve the quality of life the almost blind patients.

In March of 2016, Georgia's General Assembly passed Senate Bill 258, making it possible for Georgia taxpayers who make contributions to a qualified rural hospital to receive a tax credit on their state income tax.
This important piece of legislation was supported by the Georgia Hospital Association and many others who believe in the importance of access to health care for rural communities. The bill was signed into law in April and took effect January 1, 2017.
Meadows is one of 48 hospital organizations deemed eligible to receive donations as part of the tax credit program.
Depending on the amount of the contribution, individuals can receive a credit toward their state taxes for as much as $5,000. Those filing jointly can receive up to $10,000 and businesses can receive up to 75% of their Georgia income tax liablility. When paired with a federal-tax deduction given for charitable contributions, donations can go even further. Learn more.
Any Georgia resident wanting to make a significant contribution to the health and well-being of the community, or see their donations go further, can apply for the tax credit.
Under the new law, $50 million in tax credits will be set aside in the program's first year, $60 million in 2018 and $70 million in 2019. The program also enables qualified rural hospitals like Meadows Regional receive up to $4 million in contributions annually. The program is set to expire in 2019.
Contributions can help hospitals fund capital improvement projects such as new hospital wings or high-tech equipment, bring in more physicians and other medical staff, or offer the latest in advanced medicine or services.
To qualify, you will first need to complete the Tax Credit Pre-approval Form. You can complete the form here, which allows Georgia HEART Hospital Program to submit your application to the Department of Revenue on your behalf.
Donors should receive notice of their qualification within 30 days. Once approved, the actual donation must be made within 60 days. To start the process, click here.
All qualified hospitals must submit a five-year plan detailing the financial viability and stability of the hospital to the Department of Revenue.
In addition, all funds go directly to the hospital.
To learn how funds will be spent, read a message from Meadows Health President and CEO, Alan Kent.

Vitamin D Supreme with K1 and K2 60 capsules by Designs for Health
Vitamin D Supreme provides a clinically useful dose of vitamin D3, 5000 IU per veggie cap, and vitamin K in both K1 and the MK-7 form of K2, which is highly bioavailable. Both of these forms of vitamin K are important to our health: vitamin K1 (the naturally occurring form of vitamin K in vegetables) and vitamin K2 as MK-7, which is a product of soy fermentation (free of soy allergens) and has the special property of metabolizing slowly throughout the day. This formula contains higher therapeutic doses than Vitamin D Synergy for situations where more aggressive repletion is required. Most holistically oriented health care practitioners are aiming for vitamin D blood levels of between 50 - 100 ng/mL as optimal. Many patients will require a higher dose of vitamin D as found in Vitamin D Supreme to achieve this. Vitamin D Synergy, our 2000 IU lower dose product, should be considered for maintaining optimal blood levels of vitamin D for long-term supplementation in patients that are exposed to adequate sunlight. Vitamins D and K are essential for optimal bone and arterial health and for maintaining the immune system in proper balance. The amount of vitamin D and K in this formula may correct the deficiencies of a majority of patients that do not get adequate sun exposure and/or dietary sources of these vitamins. We now know how important vitamin K is for directing the transport of calcium into bone and teeth for optimal strength. Increasing the amount of vitamin D, via supplementation, in the presence of inadequate levels of vitamin K, can increase the risk of calcium deposition in arteries and soft tissue and have a very negative effect on artery elasticity. This is due to their interaction in the use of MGP, Matrix Gla Protein, which is a strong inhibitor of arteria calcification. The expression of MGP is vitamin D dependent and the gamma-carboxylation step, making it active, is vitamin K dependent. Together, D and K make a great team.
How does vitamin K help the bones? The most famous Gla protein is "osteocalcin." Osteocalcin requires vitamin K to work. Vitamin K performs a feat on the proteins called "carboxylation." Undercarboxylated osteocalcin can't regulate calcium causing it to float around and dump into the wrong places like the arteries. Osteocalcin is now getting attention for its importance to bone density.
Dosage - As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
Supplement Facts Serving Size: 1 Capsule
Servings Per Container: 60
1 Capsule Contains Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Vitamin D (as Cholecalciferol) 5,000 IU 1,250% Vitamin K (as Vitamin K1 Phytonadione 500 mcg; Vitamin K2 Menaquinone-7 50 mcg))

A Conversation on Human Rights and Standing Together
By Eliza Partika
UCI's New Narratives: Conversations on Identity and Culture series continued Jan. 19 with a roundtable discussion titled, "In Search of Our Humanity: Finding Common Ground in the Midst of Political Divisiveness."
The discussion covered various contested social, political and economic topics, including misogyny and womxn's rights, anti-Semitism, homelessness, free speech on campus, anti-blackness and white supremacy, transgender rights and transphobia, homophobia and LGBTQA+ rights, the media's role in the 2016 election, the US's role in international affairs, guns and second amendment rights, and the role of the electoral college, among others.
However, the topics of discussion were secondary to encouraging participants to "find enough common ground so that we might more comfortably enter into uncomfortable discussions," said Jade Agua, Director of UCI's Cross Cultural Center and organizer of the event.
In his introductory speech, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Thomas Parham said, "we are challenged by our own sensibility, as hard as it may be, to find a common denominator that cannot be divided."
The discussion began with a series of general questions asking small group members "what they value most in life," "what they are hopeful about for the future" and "their biggest fears." According to Agua, the in-depth icebreakers were designed to help audience members find deeper commonalities and thus foster a more profound and relevant discussion in their chosen topic.
Each table discussion at the event was facilitated by faculty members from diverse corners of UCI, with the entire event facilitated by Agua and Dr. Parham.
Tamara Austin, facilitator for the table discussing misogyny and womxn's rights and Director of the Womxn's Space here on campus, imparted words of advice to her other table members. From discussing gendered colors to discussing how as a father, the best thing you can do to for your daughter is to treat the other women in your life well, to defining the ways in which women sometimes contribute to their own gender roles through subconscious things like being more hesitant to take risks, to general life lessons, the discussion was "eye-opening," according to a humanities major attending the event who preferred to remain anonymous.
Participants said that they found common humanity with one another, not necessarily because of shared experiences, but because they were open-minded and willing to empathize and listen to others' stories. Dr. Parham advocated this sort of willingness to discover common values and mutual humanity in the closing full participant discussion. First he found one commonality between everyone in the audience, the value of family.
"What does family look like?" he asked in reference to each of the discussion topics. "Advocating for one another. That's what family does."
Lastly he asked the audience for their post-discussion commitments toward finding commonalities.
"Keep hope and joy," a participant at the table for anti-blackness and white supremacy offered. "While happiness is circumstantial, to have joy is to come together as family."
Another participant added that they had committed to "being more open-minded, gaining knowledge and new perspectives."
At the event's culmination, Dr. Parham urged audience members to become family in the potentially politically divisive times to come.
"We are in search of common ground; that's the peace that gives me hope."

St Thomas More Catholic
Primary School
Christ is the centre of our School community, where we live, love and learn together
Year 4 is made up of two classes. They uphold the school mission
'Christ is the centre of our School community, where we live, love and learn together'
We work hard and uphold high standards in a caring loving environment.
This is the message St. Thomas More Catholic Primary school upholds and promotes to its children and community.
Alcester heritage centre trip for Year 4
During our Roman topic the children in Year 4 got the opportunity to attend a trip to Alcester heritage centre. The children were excited and loved having the chance to research real life Roman artefacts. They explored a museum having the chance to build mosaics and play games that the Romans would have played.
A Roman solider was on hand to explain the weapons a warrior would have used. Once they had spoken to the Roman solider, they were able to try on the helmets and hold the shields pretending that they were part of the Roman Empire.
The children had a wonderful time and learnt a lot about the Roman topic.
During November Mrs Shakespear organised for members of the armed forces to visit the school. School council members had the opportunity to speak to them in a small group and thank them for their service. Some children in Year 4 assisted Mrs Shakespear in the creating of the poppy display highlighting the importance of remembering the people who have served this country. The military personal gave a whole school assembly showing their different skills and knowledge to the children. They also thanked the school for the fundraising that we had done for their military hospital.

Gabriela Mistral
By Skyler Gomez | On | Comments (1)
Gabriela Mistral, born Lucila Godoy Alcayaga (April 7, 1889 – January 10, 1957), was a Chilean poet, educator, diplomat, and feminist best known for being the first Latin American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was awarded "for her lyric poetry which, inspired by powerful emotions, has made her name a symbol of the idealistic aspirations of the entire Latin American world."
Born in Vicuña, Chile and raised in the small Andean village of Montegrande, her family was rather poor. Her father, Juan Gerónimo Godoy Villanueva, abandoned the family less than three years after she was born. Though he abandoned them and left her mother to support the family, he did pass down his gift for teaching.
At nine years old, Mistral attended a primary school that was taught by her older sister, Emelina Molina, but only attended for three years. By fifteen years old she was taking on the responsibility of supporting herself and her sick mother, Petronila Alcayaga, as a teacher's aide.
She started writing poetry during her time as an educator, which is when she started using her pen pal name, Gabriela Mistral. Some of these were published in local and national magazines and newspapers years later.
. . . . . . . . . .
Poetry as a way to heal
At seventeen years old, Mistral met a young railway worker named Romeo Ureta and fell in love. Sadly, in 1909 he committed suicide. The only thing found in his possession was a postcard from Mistral. This horrific moment is one that would scar her for the rest of her life. There was more tragedy to come when a nephew also committed suicide. Soon after, Mistral started writing poetry that characterized her painful emotions.
The sad death of her lover influenced her to write "Sonetos de la muerte," three of which would go on to get published and earn her a national prize for poetry in 1914.
Teaching career and recognition
After she established a poetic reputation and received her diploma in 1912, Mistral was allowed to teach secondary school and got a teaching position near Santiago. Eventually, in 1918 she became head of a secondary school for girls in Punta Arenas, which later became the inspiration for a series of poems named Paisajes de Patagonia(Patagonian Landscapes).
Growing up around poverty, she was sympathetic to the poor and was eager to help when it came to education. In 1922, she gladly accepted Jose Vasconcelos', the Mexican minister of education, invitation to create educational programs for the poor in Mexico. As a result, she brought mobile libraries into rural areas to make literature accessible to more people. She rarely ever took a break as she went right into editing her book, Readings for Women, and traveling to other countries to study their teaching methods.
All of her hard work rightfully earned her the title "Teacher of the Nation" in 1923 by her own government.

Rise to fame and the Nobel Prize
As Mistral was rising to fame, she was asked to attend numerous conferences and give speeches. She eventually became Chile's representative abroad for almost twenty years, which included the League of Nations, the United Nations, and more. After much traveling, Mistral decided she would settle down so she became a college professor. She taught classes at Middlebury and Barnard colleges and the University of Puerto Rico.
She became an icon for the Latin community in 1945 when she won the Nobel Prize for Literature on behalf of Latin America, making her the first Latina to do so. A year later, the United Nations turned to her in 1946 asking her to create the first worldwide appeal for funds for poor children, which is when UNICEF came to be.
Themes in Gabriela Mistral's poetry
Many of Mistral's poems are written with intense emotion and direct language influenced by the modernist movement. Reoccurring themes include love, deceit, sorrow, nature, travel, and love for children as she uses her writing to tell her readers how she felt during certain points in her life.
All of these emotions create a constant internal battle that she can only express it through poetry. Her lyrical voices represent various aspects of her own personality that readers can interpret as autobiographical voices of a woman who has been hurt and betrayed numerous times. Read a selection of her poems in both English and Spanish.

Awards and Honors
In 1914, Mistral won a national prize in poetry for Sonetos de la muerte. She was inspired to create this collection of poems as a reflection of her deep sadness after her first lover committed suicide.
In 1923, Mistral was awarded the title "Teacher of the Nation" by her own government after studying different methods of teaching all over the world. She also assisted in educating the poor by providing them with books through mobile libraries.
In 1945, Mistral was the first Latinx writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, which she accepted on behalf of Latin America.
Mistral died in 1957 at age sixty-seven in Hempstead, New York. Her body was laid to rest back in the small Andean village of Montegrande. Today, her poetry is translated into other foreign languages and is talked about internationally.

Learn how SOC Manager Steven Edwards (United American Life Insurance, a member of Torchmark Corporation) empowers his organization to continuously validate the cybersecurity controls protecting business-critical assets. "Before instrumentation, security was a vague concept. There was no actual way to produce data showing progress or showing improvement. Instrumentation has made a constant improvement to our people and processes."
It is critical that businesses have evidence that the controls protecting their critical assets are effective and remain so.
Leverage instrumentation to optimize existing controls and rationalize true gaps and overlap so that you can rest easy from a position of knowledge.
Automated and continuous analysis of customer business zones for drift is necessary for proactively surfacing risks.
Organizations need to answer specific risk questions and make evidence-based decisions without assumptions.

Ultraportables have been the only class of laptop that really matters for a while now. Sure, you can find more powerful machines for less money. But the mix of portability, speed and beauty — along with the miniature muscle of Intel's Ivy Bridge chips — has made ultrabooks the best laptops to own for most of us.
Previously, this category was dominated by Apple. Not anymore. For the first time, there are several ultrabooks that even iSnobs couldn't justifiably roll their eyes at. And that's pretty exciting.
Testing Methodology
We used these laptops the same way real people would use them. We ran synthetic benchmarks, punishing battery tests and transfer speed evaluations. These things matter, but only to the extent that they help separate a very close family of machines — these notebooks are more than a little similar to each other.
All of the computers tested here have the signature benefits of an ultrabook — even the non "ultrabook" MacBook Air. They're all small, fast, and start up and resume quickly. They run on Intel Core i5 or i7 Ivy Bridge processors and have the accompanying Intel HD 4000 graphics. Pretty fine points of differentiation — but ones that add up significantly.
For our battery tests, we focused on heavy-use scenarios rather than some nonsense laptop pleasure cruise. The numbers reflect a battery-slaying helltest. Specifically, we ran 20 tabs — half were self-refresh, and the other half played and buffered a 100-hour Nyan Cat video on YouTube.
We're also not getting into a Windows vs Mac holy war. You like the operating system you like. This is purely about the machines themselves and how they interact with their given platforms.
Honourable Mention
8. Sony Vaio T This is unacceptable: The Vaio T feels like a toy. Its internals are mostly in line performance-wise with everything else here, but nearly every aspect of using it is subpar. The keyboard is a bit too spaced out, so typing accurately is hard; the screen is washed out, and build quality is a joke — especially from a company capable of making such wonderful hardware. And for some idiot reason it only has a single USB 3.0 port (the other is USB 2.0). Except for the also-honourably-mentioned Dell XPS 14, all of the other laptops we tested had at least two.
7. Lenovo U310 Oh man, what happened? Last year's U300 was a bright spot in that generation of ultrabooks, but the U310 screws up a good thing. The keyboard loses some of the depth that made the U300 so pleasant to type on, and its undercarriage is insanely squishy. You can press the middle of the keyboard down nearly half an inch with your index finger. And when you're doing anything processor-intensive — like playing a game — an unacceptable amount of heat blows right up out of the keyboard. These are all new problems not seen in last year's model.
6. Dell XPS 14 The XPS is mostly fine — except for its single USB 3.0 jack. It's decent in most categories. But at 14 inches and 2kg, it's a little big for not enough features (like the XPS 15's optical drive) or performance to justify its large imprint.
The Contenders
5. Acer Aspire S5 The Aspire S5 is a ground-rule double. It's really thin, really light, really responsive and really fast. That's most of what you want from a laptop. But its usability takes a major hit on account of its neat-but-frustrating mechanical dock on the backside that hides its ports. Its troubling battery life is also a bummer.
About the dock: it allows the S5 to cram a bunch of ports — full HDMI! — into a tiny, tiny body. But it's so damn inconvenient. To get to any port, you have to press a button that activates a motor, causing the infernal thing to pop out of the laptop's butt. Then you reach around and fumble with a blind plugin like a clumsy prom date. It's loud enough that you wouldn't want to use it in, say, a library or a quiet office — and its just slow enough to annoy you. Also, I'll bet you $5 that it's going to break.
Here's the thing: Acer has figured out how to make completely, refreshingly usable computers. Even the Aspire S3, which wasn't all that impressive on any objective level, was pleasant to type on. And it had the best trackpad performance of any ultrabook. The same is true for the S5.
But it seems for every great feature there's an equally bad or annoying aspect: The S5 is absurdly light at 1.2kg, but it's got that pain-in-the-life dock. Transfer speeds were insanely fast — 20 per cent to 50 per cent faster on large files (10x 300MB files and 50x 10MB files) — but its 1366x768 screen is the worst of the better ultrabooks. Battery life was a measly one hour and 40 minutes in our super high usage test (average was just under three hours). Still, the S5 is a totally usable machine — fast and comfortable, if a little clumsy. Unfortunately, the price tag is a little steep for that kind of description.
Acer Aspire S5 Processor: Intel Core i7-3517U CPU 1.9GHz 2.4GHz Memory: 4GB Storage: 256GB SSD Display: 13.3-inch 1366x7681 resolution Dimensions: 0.6 inches (H) 12.8 inches (W) 8.9 inches (D) Weight: 1.2kg Battery: 2310mAh Tested battery life: 1 hour 40 minutes Ports: SD card slot, 2x USB 3.0, Thunderbolt, HDMI, headphone jack Price as tested: $US1400 (Australian availability not yet released)
4. Vizio Thin + Light The Vizio Thin + Light does a lot of things right and a few things very, very wrong.
To start, Vizio's display panel, which you'd expect to be pretty outstanding, is only pretty good. The 1600x900 on the 14-inch model is better than most ultrabook displays — decent colour and a great viewing angle — but it doesn't punch you in the face with the quality you've come to expect from a company known for making such excellent TVs. That's too bad, because the all-grey keyboard and trackpad funnels your eyes towards the display. It's a nice little trick, and it makes you wish the screen was a lot better.
Overall, the Thin and Light's design is wonderful. Its unibody construction isn't quite as sturdy as Apple's MacBook Air, but it's right up there with Samsung's Series 9 as one of the most visually striking ultrabooks. Unfortunately, even though the non-island keyboard — reminiscent of the pre-unibody MacBook Pro — is part of that great design, it's just not up to par. The keys feel balanced rather than securely perched on their switches. And while typing at full speed is great, it just feels cheap at slower speeds. And the trackpad. Oof, the trackpad. It feels a little loose and oddly undersized for a 14-inch laptop. Performance-wise, it's terrible. The cursor jumps around the screen, making it difficult to control what you're clicking.
Vizio says that it plans on improving the experience as much as possible, which will mean updated drivers for the trackpad in the future. For now though, it's a tough sell — even as an entertainment option.
Vizio Thin + Light Processor: Intel Core i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.4GHz Memory: 4GB Storage: 256GB SSD Display: Resolution: 15.6-inch 1600x900 resolution Graphics: Intel HD 4000 Dimensions: 0.68 inches (H), 14.9 inches (W), 9.9 inches (D) Weight: 1.7kg Claimed battery life: "up to 7 hours" Tested battery life: 3 hours 20 minutes Ports: HDMI, 2x USB 3.0, headphone jack Price as Tested: $US1200
3. Samsung Series 9 This is the most beautiful laptop you can own. Seriously. The Series 9 is gorgeous, well built and performs well. But its build quality is its only outstanding characteristic. Honestly, that's enough to make it desirable, since "standard" for this generation of ultrabook is pretty damn good. But it's not enough to really stand out or get past a few pretty big letdowns.
The Series 9's display is one of the big letdowns. The matte 1600x900 screen on the 15-inch unit simply doesn't look as good as Vizio's, and it doesn't have nearly the same viewing angle. But the fact that it's matte will be enough for some people; the anti-glare and lack of smudging really is nice.
The other big issue is the keyboard. It's just not comfortable to type on. The keys are far too shallow — most likely in order to keep the Series 9 so thin — and they're quite stiff.
Reviewer's note: This is based on the 15-inch Series 9. We will update this with impressions on the 13-inch model soon.
Samsung Series 9 Processor: 1.7GHz Intel Core i5 17w Dual Core Ivy Bridge Memory: 8GB Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 Storage: 128GB SSD Display: Resolution: 15-inch 1600x900 resolution Dimensions: 0.58 inches (H), 14 inches (W), 9.3 inches (D) Weight: 1.7kg Tested battery life: 3 hours 3 minutes Ports: micro HDMI, 2x USB 3.0, USB 2.0, mini VGA, SD card Price as tested: $1899 RRP in Australia
2. Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A Literally every single thing that was wrong with last year's Zenbook has massively improved. It's just that massive improvement doesn't necessarily equal awesomeness in some areas. In other areas, however, the gains are absurdly good.
Without question, the highpoint of the Zenbook Prime is its screen. It's gorgeous. It's the best screen on any laptop in this class. It's not just the 1080p resolution — it handles colour better than any other panel, and its viewing angle is as good as Vizio's.
But the trackpad. It's still the trackpad. Last year's was awful. This year's is better but not by much. It's more accurate, but click zones are still inconsistent and loses your clicks far too often. It's a little too smooth, and it seems to lose your finger from time to time. Scrolling and gestures are also unresponsive or extremely choppy.
Otherwise, the Zenbook was above average in most of the tests we ran, It was middle of the road in the battery test and had a surprisingly good keyboard. It is very, very good. But its tragic flaw is simply too deep for it to be the best.
Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A Processor: Intel Core i7-3517U CPU @ 1.9GHZ 2.4GHZ Memory: 4GB Storage: 128GB Display: Resolution: 13.3-inch 1920x1080 resolution Dimensions: 0.3 inches (H), 12.9 inches (W) 8.9 inches (D) Weight: 1.2kg Graphics: Intel HD 4000 Tested battery life: 2 hours 30 minutes Ports: SD Card, mini display, mini HDMI, 2x USB 3.0, headphone jack Price as tested: $1899 RRP in Australia
1. MacBook Air The MacBook Air is maybe the most perfect laptop ever made. It doesn't have the same gospel choir highpoint as the Zenbook Prime's display, but there is literally nothing subpar about it. Performance, keyboard, trackpad, battery life, transfers — all of them are are either the best or ahead of the curve. There is no part of using this computer that is not pleasant.
But this is the closest this race has ever been. The MacBook Air's 1440x900 display is really nice, but it gets demolished by the Zenbook Prime's display. And if you use a mouse with your ultrabook (please don't, but if you do), the Zenbook's big problem is no longer a problem.
But that's not the race we're in. The totality of the MacBook Air is so consistently great that when features of another comprable laptop surpass it, it feels momentous, even if the rest of the machine can't keep pace. Maybe that calculus shifts once Windows 8 and its army of hybrids invades later this year. But for now, the MacBook Air is still top dog.
MacBook Air Processor: 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 17W Dual Core Ivy Bridge Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB (Integrated) RAM: 8GB (4GB x 4GB) non-upgradeable Storage: 256GB Solid State Drive Display: 13.5-inch 1440x900 resolution Ports: Thunderbolt (compatible with Mini DisplayPort), 2x USB 3.0, SD card, MagSafe 2.0 Dimensions: 0.11-0.68 inches (H) 12.8 inches (W) 8.94 inches (D) Weight: 1.4kg Tested battery life: 2 hours 48 minutes Price as configured: $1799 RRP in Australia

The 17-year-old Blackpool boy, who can not be identified for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a condition of his bail.
Blackpool magistrates agreed to rebail him.
Prosecutor, Martine Connah, said the teenager had been bailed with the condition he kept a 9pm to 7am curfew at his address.
On April 28 at 10.10pm police went to his address. They searched the property but the teenager was not there.
He was later arrested.
John McLaren, defending, told magistrates his client returned home a lot later than 9pm the night police went to check on him.
Mr McLaren said checking the time was a problem for the teenager as: "he does not have a watch or a phone."
Sonny McDonagh, 22, assault
A man accused of assaulting a 17-year-old boy at Blackpool has appeared at court over the video link.
Sonny McDonagh, 22, of Powell Avenue, Marton, pleaded not guilty to assault.
He also denied making threats to a woman for the purpose of causing anxiety and stress.
McDonagh was remanded in custody for trial on May 17.
Joseph Lennon, 55, assault
A man pushed a six-year-old boy along the footpath and into school.
The boy was crying after he was continually sworn at by Joseph Lennon.
A woman who witnessed the scene at a Blackpool primary school was so upset she also cried, prosecutor Sarah Perkins said.
Lennon, 55, of Ailsa Avenue, Marton, admitted two assault offences on the boy – pushing and slapping the child as well as the verbal threats.
The court heard it was a sustained incident after Lennon lost his temper with the boy on the way to the school.
Lennon told the court: "I made a mistake. It was a terrible thing to do. We had a lot of problems at the time and I was in a bad place but I have no excuses."
Lennon was given an 18 month community order which will include 40 days rehabilitation and 50 hours unpaid work for the community.
He must pay £150 costs and £85 victim's surcharge.
Aiden Ellerker, 23, failing to comply with a bail condition
A man breached his bail because his lift encountered heavy traffic on the way back from a job in Manchester.
Aiden Ellerker, 23, of Victoria Street, Fleetwood, who pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a bail condition.
Prosecutor, Martine Connah, said Ellerker had denied an offence of robbery and had been bailed with the condition he kept an 8pm to 7am curfew at his home.
On April 24 the equipment monitoring his tag registered that he was 15 minutes late for the start of his curfew. It was his second breach of bail.
Gerry Coyle, defending, said at the time Ellerker had been on a two week trial for a scaffolding firm.
The day of the offence traffic was very busy coming back from a job in Manchester and his lift dropped Ellerker back 15 minutes late.
Ellerker had suffered an injury and no longer worked for the scaffolding company.
John O'Neill, 27, breaching a restraining order
A father with 11 convictions for breaching a restraining order threatened to rape a woman.
John O'Neill made the threat to the mother of his former girlfriend's new boyfriend.
He also bombarded his ex with Facebook and video messages and communicated with her new partner calling him a rapist with a low sperm count.
O'Neill, 27, of Reads Avenue, Blackpool, appeared before the court via the video link from Preston Prison.
He pleaded guilty to breaching a restraining order and admitted two offences of making a malicious communication.
He was sentenced to 26 weeks jail and ordered to pay his three victims £50 compensation each.
Robert Castle, defending, said his client had become very distressed over the lack of contact he had with his son.

Donating to a Good Cause | Rockriver
Mental Health, Hard Times, & Addiction.
Our Fight against Addiction and Mental Health Stigma.
Mental health problems, hard times, and addiction. These are all things that effect, or have effected, Branden Rockriver, the owner of Rockriver. The largest and most recent are mental health issues and addiction.
Branden has struggled with depression and anxiety since he was a child and was always afraid to ask for help. However, life has a way of making you do things that you should have done a long time ago. Within the first six months of 2018 Branden had two friends pass away from drug related health problems or outright overdose. In the three years before 2018 five other friends passed away due to addiction. After dealing with this on his own for so long he decided to get professional help and his world opened up to just how necessary counseling and other forms of assistance are to those in need.
He began to talk to others about their struggles with depression, anxiety, addiction and mental health. What he found out is that there are little to no outlets for those in need, even less information, and most who need help feel ashamed to look for it. So, he started looking and he found a handful of charities that strive to make a real impact on these issues. Then he got a call, in late may of 2018, saying that an old co-worker of his committed suicide.
She was yet another victim of a two part epidemic that is crippling society. His friends, family, and loved ones deserved better. Everyone deserves better. We all deserve a chance at happiness. And that's when it hit him. He has the perfect tool to help these charities. It was his small, hand-made, pomade and beard oil company, that he started back in 2014. That is how he could help. And it was that idea that changed everything.
As of June 1st 2018 we at Rockriver donate up to 5% of every order to charities working to end drug addiction, and end the stigma surrounding mental health issues. We honestly believe that through the products that we use to look good and smell good that we can change the world. Help us end addiction, bring people back from darkness, and save peoples lives. Together, we can make a difference.
If you or anyone you know needs help with mental health issues please visit MentalHealth.gov. If you need immediate assistance call 911 or the suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Help for someone struggling with addiction is out there. Please visit findtreatment.samhsa.gov, or call 1-800-662-HELP ( 1-800-662-4357 ). If you need immediate assistance call 911.

The five elections were noted for the low levels of youth participation as candidates. This situation was in part due to the 1999 Constitution which placed minimum age limits for those wishing to contest the following elective positions and seats; President 40 years, Senate, 35 years, House of Representatives, 30 years, Governors, 35 years and State Houses of Assembly, 30 years. The constitutional age requirements shut the door on Nigerian youth who constitute a majority of the population and registered voters.

Uganda: Desabre's problems like Guardiola's, says Onyango
Uganda skipper Denis Onyango believes that Sebastien Desabre's current problems with the Cranes are similar to Pep Guardiola's early struggles with Manchester City.
The East Africans have lost twice in the last eight days, being defeated 1-0 by the Central African Republic and 2-1 to Niger during the Three Nations tournament.
These defeats followed a 0-0 draw against Malawi and a 3-1 victory over Sao Tome e Principe, with Desabre appearing to take his time to establish his philosophy within the Cranes squad.
"[These are] tough times for us right now, and for the head coach, because he is trying to build his brand of football and yet it is also difficult changing players' mentality that quickly," Onyango told Press Box.
"We have seen it also with Manchester City, when Pep [Guardiola] came in as coach he did not win anything in the first season," the goalkeeper added, "but he has turned the team round and now they are winning.
"I think we need time with the new coach as well.
"We are building a new team and we need to give the new coach a chance," Onyango continued. "His mission is to take us back to the African Cup of Nations and we must be supportive to him and try to comfort him to make his work easier."
Before his recent underwhelming results, Desabre had overseen a disappointing African Nations Championship campaign in which Uganda crashed out in the first round.
The Frenchman had been appointed in December as the long-term successor to Milutin Sredojevic.
"We have a lot of youngsters," Onyango continued. "It's just me and Hassan Wasswa who have been around longer, but generally we are building.
"It is unfortunate that we play Tanzania in September in a 2019 AFCON qualifier, and this will be a lot of pressure for us because we are home and the coach will be in charge for his first competitive game."
Uganda lead Group L after picking a 1-0 win away to Cape Verde last year, as well as Tanzania, they will also have to battle Lesotho for a spot in Cameroon 2019.

The Rental by Rebecca Berto
(The Rental #1)
Publication date: September 22nd 2014
Genres: Adult, Erotica, Romance
At first, Rick Delaney watched Vee Wyland with the hungry eyes of a fox as if she were a rabbit … his rabbit. But one day, he slunk away without notice.
Months away from graduating high school, Vee's life is on the verge of crumbling. At home, dire finances and long hours test her family. Her boyfriend hardly pays attention to her. And she can't shake her feelings for his older brother, Rick.
Then, all in one night, tragedy tears her teetering life into shreds.
When Rick and Vee reunite, the sparks fly. However, she unwittingly signs away a future for both of them. In his world, a place called The Rental, she becomes Victoria and Rick becomes Rhett. One part of her watches with fascination, while the other unfurls and embraces her sexual awakening. It began as a game, but the consequences are real.
Following their heart's desire is forbidden, but walking away could strip their hope for a future.
The Rental is an erotic romance that explores how sex isn't purely physical; sometimes, it's a gateway to your soul.
Book Review ~ 'The Rental' by Rebecca Berto ~ 5 Stars!
I always adore reading a book by Rebecca Berto. Her ability to create such dynamic characters, ones who are both relatable and realistic always leaves me feeling great after I've finished the book, as I feel like I've been taken on a journey with real people who I admire and feel connected to because of their real flaws and everyday troubles which we as readers also go through.
The Rental was a book that puts out all the stops. Rebecca Berto has created a sexy, exciting and intriguing world inside The Rental, and it is one that has opened my mind in a way that other books in the erotica genre haven't necessarily done. I adored Vee and her desperation to help her mother with bills after her father's sudden and tragic death was something that made her a real idol for me. I also loved that she didn't go into the Rental world with a close minded view of prostitution, but with a genuine curiosity for the world inside the Rental, and the way that sex and pleasure isn't something to shy away from but to embrace as another way of showing love and affection, as well as accepting that when people are lonely, sometimes comfort in this form is a healthy fix. It was such an eye-opening premise that underlined this story that I connected with the story on such a deep level and felt bereft to leave the world of Tne Rental behind until the next book is released.
Now Rick. *phwoar! *fans self* How does Rebecca Berto do it? She created a sexy, intriguing but flawed individual who was so real to me. He wasn't put on a pedestal and held to unrealistic expectations, which made him so much more attractive as the hero of the story, and something that made me feel I would be more likely to find a man like him in real life, which is what a good book should do for a reader, and as always Berto does this perfectly.
I absolutely adored the writing style in this book. The character development is paced so well, and I loved the decision to author made to introduce the reader to her characters almost a year previously to the events in the second half of the book. It gave it a real sense of time passing and the changes that the characters had made over this time, and how much the circumstances they'd found themselves in the time that had passed had shaped the decisions they were making in this second part of the novel.
As always Rebecca Berto has delivered with a fantastically written and incredibly sexy story that has me dying to return to the world of the Rental soon!
5 Stars!
The strippers arrived at midnight, and we could hear their voices from the entry oozing with sex. They went to the garage and everyone crowded around, even those who lurked in small groups outside the front or inside the living room. But the crowd was too large and people spilled into the paved section out the back. Cara, myself, and the other girls linked hands and pushed with the crowd to secure a good spot.
We were in the second row in a circle. In the centre were three chairs, and two guys helped set up poles. To the side lay a long table with some gifts for Rick. I wanted to give Rick my own personal gift, although the girls freeloaded tonight. He and I were barely friends, but I felt compelled to get him something. On one side of the gift table was a box with a slot at the top. I left momentarily to put a ten-dollar note in, and then returned to watch.
It took fifteen minutes for everything to begin but when it did, my heart sped up, and I could hardly think past the excitement. The memory of Rick and me in the laundry had my heart fluttering yet pounding with confusion, and all I knew was I wanted to see more of this guy.
Justin stood in a clump of guys on the opposite side. I hadn't seen him for over an hour now, and I kept holding my gaze his way in hope he looked, but he was interested in what was about to unfold. He fell into a daze, stared at something or nothing, and then snapped himself back to the scene.
But, Rick—he watched me and held my gaze.
He stood with his arms crossed over his chest. Did he know his biceps bulged like that? Or two veins on either side of his neck were strained? And his tightened lips … did he know how controlled and stern he was? There wasn't a side to him that didn't appeal to me.
My mouth was dry and it became impossible to swallow. I ran my tongue over my lips and ran my fingers through my hair. I lifted it up over my shoulders and lolled my head to allow air. When I looked back, Rick had a grin on his face. I feared he knew a whole lot more than he should, probably more than I knew about my own thoughts.
They started chanting Rick's name, so I joined in. The strippers quickly discovered who he was and strutted up to him. One grabbed his left hand, one his right and the other pulled him forward with the hooks in his jeans.
"Ahem, ahem," Justin cleared his throat.
The middle stripper kicked Rick down with the tip of her stiletto. He crashed into the chair, fingers curling around the arms tightly.
"So," Justin continued, "Rick needs to be cleaned. He is a naughty boy who hasn't been home for over a year. Now he's back and his clothes are filthy, his mouth needs to be washed out, and he probably needs some attention down below." Raising his voice, he said, "What do we think, guys?"
Everyone cheered.
The DJ restarted the music as all three strippers magnetised to Rick. One unbuttoned his shirt and tore it off. The other was on her knees between his legs and undid his jeans. I took deep breaths to calm down, but it was hard with Rick lounged back on the chair, arms spread over the sides, and his hands clenched around the ends—probably to stop himself from touching one of the girls. He widened his legs and one girl fit in between them.
Oh, and that little, incy wincy,
teeny weeny factor he had nothing on
besides his royal blue briefs.
I wasn't sure I could wear that colour again.
The strippers tortured him during their dances. He looked up and down at them or called out to the boys, but not once did his briefs tent up. In fact, from his glazed expression, he was miles away with consuming thoughts, such as those ones that overtook him in the laundry earlier. He—I even dared to think—looked possibly bored as those three slim and sexy strippers tried to please him.
The strippers continued, attending to Justin's requests. One opened a bottle of water and decided both her and Rick need cleaning. She tipped her head back, breasts cradling Rick's face and poured the bottle down, water gushing all over them. Rick jerked back and forward into her with the shock of the water. Another girl was behind him, and her hands ran up and down his chest. After soothing him, she toed one of her feet down the side of his face, down his chest, along his briefs and back. The other danced by herself, touching her curves, and stripped for Rick to watch.
Something about their confidence reeled in my interest. The way they laughed louder, danced more seductively, flirted heavily with what they could and couldn't do while bare-chested and near naked looked natural. My body flushed, but it had nothing to do with embarrassment. A sensation had released in me, and it was similar to when I slammed into Rick's chest at my house.
Two of Rick's friends soon sat down in the chairs next to Rick, and the strippers departed. They gave both of the other two lap dances. Apparently, Rick would get some more attention later, but he called it quits for now, needing 'space.'
I left also, heading to the laundry room. Ditching that cool cup of ice water had been a mistake. I needed a bath of ice water. And a fan.
