Relief from the prospectus requirement of the Act to permit the distribution of pooled fund securities to managed accounts held by non-accredited investors on an exempt basis -- NI 45-106 containing carve-out for managed accounts in Ontario prohibiting portfolio manager from making exempt distributions of securities of its proprietary pooled funds to its managed account clients in Ontario unless managed account client qualifies as accredited investor or invests $150,000 -- portfolio manager providing bona fide portfolio management services to high net worth clients -- Not all managed account clients are accredited investors -- portfolio manager permitted to make exempt distributions of proprietary pooled funds to its managed accounts provided written notice is delivered to clients advising them of the relief granted -- portfolio manager is restricted from distributing proprietary pooled fund securities to parties other than its managed account clients.
Applicable Legislative Provisions
Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as am., ss. 53, 74(1).
Rules Cited
National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions.
National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions.
April 13, 2010
R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, AS AMENDED
(the "Act")
(Each a "Filer" and collectively the "Co-Filers")
(Subsection 74(1) of the Act)
The Ontario Securities Commission (the "Commission") has received an application (the "Application") from the Co-Filers and any pooled fund established and managed by either of the Co-Filers in the future (each a "Fund", and together the "Funds") for a ruling, pursuant to subsection 74(1) of the Act, that trades in units of the Funds to Secondary Managed Accounts (as defined below) will not be subject to the prospectus requirements under section 53 of the Act (the "Prospectus Requirements") (the "Requested Relief").
This Ruling is based on the following facts represented by the Co-Filers:
1. JC Clark Ltd. is a corporation established under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) with its head office in Toronto, Ontario. It is registered as a broker and investment dealer (or equivalent category) under the applicable securities laws in all provinces. JC Clark Ltd. has been managing money for high net worth individuals and institutional clients on a fully discretionary basis since 2001 and currently acts as a co-manager of and portfolio adviser for each Fund, along with JC Clark Inc.
2. JC Clark Inc. is a corporation established under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and is currently registered in Ontario as an adviser in the category of Portfolio Manager. JC Clark Inc. is able to rely on the exemption from investment dealer registration requirements contained in section 8.6 of National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions ("NI 31-103").
3. Each of the Funds is an open-ended unincorporated mutual fund trust organized under the laws of Ontario. The Funds are not reporting issuers and are only sold under applicable prospectus exemptions under the applicable securities laws of each Province.
4. The Co-Filers primarily offer discretionary portfolio management services to individuals, corporations and other entities (each, a "Client") seeking wealth management or related services ("Managed Services") through a managed account ("Managed Account"). Pursuant to a written agreement ("Managed Account Agreement") between a Filer and the Client, the applicable Filer makes investment decisions for the Managed Account and has full discretionary authority to trade in securities for the Managed Account without obtaining the specific consent of the Client to the trade.
5. The Managed Services are provided by employees of the Co-Filers who meet the proficiency requirements of an advising officer or advising representative (or associate advising officer or associate advising representative) under National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements and Exemptions.
6. Managed Accounts are typically held with JC Clark Ltd., but may in some cases be held with JC Clark Inc.. In either case, the scope of Managed Services provided to a Client are and will continue to be consistent between the Co-Filers.
7. The Managed Services consist of the following:
i. each Client who accepts Managed Services executes a New Client Account Form which details the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance and other pertinent information. The Client also executes a Managed Account Agreement whereby the Client authorizes the applicable Filer to supervise, manage and direct purchases and sales at the Filer's full discretion on a continuing basis;
ii. the Co-Filers' qualified employees perform investment research, securities selection and management functions with respect to all securities, investments, cash equivalents or other assets included in the Funds;
iii. each Managed Account will invest in units of one or more of the Funds or in some cases individual securities as selected by the applicable Filer according to a Client's stated investment objectives and risk tolerance. The Managed Accounts invest primarily in the Funds, but may, from time to time, as appropriate invest a portion of the Managed Account assets in funds managed by third parties which are offered under prospectus;
iv. Managed Account holders are provided quarterly performance information and the applicable Filer meets with its Clients at least annually to review investment performance and to assess a Client's investment goals; and
v. the appropriate Filer retains overall responsibility for the Managed Services provided to its Clients and has designated a senior officer to oversee and supervise the Managed Services.
8. The publicly stated minimum assets a Client is required to have in one or more Managed Accounts is $2,000,000. From time to time, the Co-Filers will accept a Client who does not meet this minimum threshold of $2,000,000, but qualifies as an accredited investor under National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), if there are other factors that have persuaded the Co-Filers for business reasons to accept such persons as Clients. A "Primary Managed Account" is defined as a Client that meets the $2,000,000 minimum threshold or qualifies as a accredited investor under NI 45-106.
9. The Co-Filers seek to accept certain Clients who may not ordinarily qualify as a Primary Managed Account Client. Such Clients consist primarily of family members of Primary Managed Account Clients; Clients who, due to a change in circumstances are no longer accredited investors; or persons who have a relationship with:
i. the holder of a Primary Managed Account;
ii. an existing client of the Co-Filers but who is not a holder of a Primary Managed Account; or
iii. the Co-Filers;
and for which there are exceptional factors which have persuaded the Co-Filers for business reasons to accept such persons as Clients. Each such Client would be served through a Managed Account, the above hereinafter referred to as "Secondary Managed Accounts". Secondary Managed Accounts are expected to be incidental to the Co-Filers' business and assets under management.
10. While the holders of the Primary Managed Accounts each qualify as accredited investors under NI 45-106, the holders of the Secondary Managed Accounts do not always themselves qualify as accredited investors, nor will the $150,000 minimum investment exemption in NI 45-106 be available in all cases.
11. While a Managed Account qualifies as an "accredited investor" in each province and territory outside Ontario, NI 45-106 contains a carve out for Managed Accounts in Ontario when the securities being purchased by the Managed Account are those of an investment fund. Accordingly, in the absence of relief from the Prospectus Requirements, the Funds will be available only to Clients that are accredited investors in their own right or are able to invest a minimum of $150,000 in a Fund.
12. The Co-Filers wish to distribute securities of the Funds to Secondary Managed Accounts. The Secondary Managed Account Client would thereby be able to receive the benefit of the Co-Filer's investment management expertise.
13. Managed Services provided by a Filer are not subject to a management fee. Rather, a Filer invests in the Funds which pay a management fee and may pay a performance fee to the Co-Filers in their capacity as co-managers of and portfolio advisers to the Funds. Accordingly, there is no duplication of fees between a Managed Account and the Funds.
14. In some instances, the Co-Filers may pay referral fees in respect of Clients referred to it. The Co-Filers' referral fees and referral arrangement practices are in compliance with the referral arrangements requirements of NI 31-103.
The Commission being satisfied that the relevant test contained in subsection 74(1) of the Act has been met, the Commission rules that the Requested Relief is granted provided that:
(a) securities of the Funds distributed pursuant to the relief from the Prospectus Requirements contained in this ruling shall only be distributed to Managed Accounts;
(b) for each Client that becomes a Client of a Filer after the date of this ruling that will invest in securities of one or more Funds through a Managed Account pursuant to this ruling, such Filer shall deliver to such Client prior to effecting a trade in securities of a Fund in reliance on this ruling, written disclosure advising of:
(i) the nature of the relief granted under this ruling, and
(ii) the fact that the ruling permits the Client to invest in an investment fund product which the Client otherwise would not be allowed to invest in on an exempt basis through their Managed Account; and
(c) this ruling will terminate upon the coming into force of any legislation or rule of the Commission exempting a trade by a fully managed account in Ontario in securities of investment funds from the Prospectus Requirement.

Today my wife crossed a major finish line! She just completed 504 hours (21 days!) of only drinking water!
I am in awe of her determination and maturity in her quest for the best health possible.
My wife Victoria really is an inspiration, I'm so impressed with her, I really find myself speechless.
I've doubted her convictions, ideas and promises in the past,... yet forever I know now she's capable of anything she really decides she wants to accomplish. I owe her so much for my health today. I would have never found out about the Fruitarian/811/LFRV/Raw diet unless she insisted I read a book that she gave me in January 2008 (The Book: The 80/10/10 Diet).
My wife Victoria is probably the reason I have reached all my athletic goals from a sub 2:30 marathon to running 100 miles in the mountains in the last 3 years. WIthout her personal passion and quest for better health I'd probably still be 20lbs over weight and working way too many hours in a closed office.
I'm so proud of her and really amazed at what she's done for herself. A lot of people think I can do anything I put my mind to, but the thought of fasting for 21 days really scares me, I personally would much rather run 100+ miles any day of the week!
To my wife Victoria Arnstein:
You are the bright star and spark in much of my success in life. I love you!
When you get home from Panama next week I have the following waiting for you!
Clementines, Valencia Oranges, Young Coconuts, Pomegranates, Strawberry Papaya, Persimmons, Sharon Fruit, Asian Pears, Mexican Papayas, Dragon Fruits, Red Cherries, Blueberries, Carrots for juicing, Durian, Longon's, Passion fruit and lots of Love!
Views: 3884
OMG. I just did 10 days and I cant imagine (yet) how it is possible to do more... Its quite boring to stay in the bed all all the time. What was she do during this 21 days?
What are the benefits that you see of fasting please?
I've done a few small fasts in the last few years.
A 6 Day
A 7 Day
A 5 Day
A 4 Day
(In that order)
MICHAEL: YOU ARE SO SWEET!!!! <3 This post touched my heart
VICTORIA: YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION, WOMAN!!! =) I'm proud.
Congrats Victoria-- You are so inspiring !! The fruit awaiting you looks amazing!
ps. Michael-- where do you get that fruit??? (I live near you) I need to know where to spend my fruit money wisely.
Lovely (and delicious! ;)
Your relationship is an inspiration to those of us who already do or someday might just have that special Someone in our lives.
Thank you for sharing your love with us, Mike and Victoria (to whom my hat is off for your accomplishment).

The Alberta government is setting aside an additional $1 million to help with the resettlement of Syrian refugees in five cities across the province.
The province will help approximately 2,500 to 3,000 refugees resettle in Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge, Labour Minister Lori Sigurdson said Wednesday.

Alberta pledges an additional $1 million for refugee resettlement Back to video
"We don't know specifically yet how many will be coming to Alberta, but we want to do our part."
She said she doesn't know how many refugees will arrive in each of the five cities, but will meet next week with federal Immigration and Refugees Minister John McCallum to discuss details.
"We've made it clear to the federal government that the cost of settling these newcomers to Alberta will require additional resources, which the federal government is responsible to provide," she said.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal government this week extended its deadline to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year. Instead, Canada will accept 10,000 refugees by the end of the year, with another 15,000 expected by the end of February 2016.

Welcome back to another episode of Dating Mechanics, everyone! I'm pleased to announce Part 2 of my interview with Franco Lombardi on the importance of Discipline. Discipline is more of a mindset approach to dating as opposed to having an uncontrolled environment (which is what most people in the world do). The idea behind discipline is threefold:
Welcome back to another episode of Dating Mechanics, everyone!
I'm pleased to announce the return of Franco Lombardi, our fearless moderator of the Girls Chase boards, for an interview on how discipline affects your success in dating. This is one of the most important concepts that anyone should make an effort to learn and understand regardless of skill level.
Welcome back to another episode of Dating Mechanics! For this podcast, I have something different and special for you. A few of us Girls Chase authors met up in Stockholm, Sweden this past summer for a few days and nights. We met up with each other (some for the first time), met plenty of women, both during the day and
Empathy is a twisty topic, and one that's often hung with mounds of cultural baggage. The politically correct party line at the moment is, "All empathy is good; all lack of empathy is bad, bad, BAD."
The truth of the matter is a bit more complicated than this (decidedly unempathetic) black-and-white thinking on empathy: strong empathy is a bit like a superpower and a crippling weakness, all rolled up into one.
In this article, we'll be looking at the full range of empathy profiles - from sociopaths, supposedly unable to feel empathy at all, to empaths, those souls so bursting with empathy that stepping on a bug makes them feel awful.
And what I most want to talk about in today's article is striking the right balance - enough empathy that you are able to perceptively know what other people are thinking, what they are feeling, and what they want, but not so much that you render yourself unable to take any action, out of fear of hurting, offending, or invoking the displeasure of someone else.
Meditation: you've probably heard a bit about it.
It's a mind-bendingly powerful activity, with benefits of stress
reduction, clarity of vision and focus, and even increased (sometimes
dramatically so) levels of happiness. It's key to successful visualization, and once you're
good at it you gain a degree of conscious control over your thoughts
and feelings that all but eradicates things like depression and anxiety.
But if you're anything like me before I learned something of meditation, the wall of information greeting you at your first foray into the topic is a major obstacle to getting started.
I would ask myself, "What should
I learn about? What meditations are best? What do I gain by the
different types?"
And so on and so forth... and, unable to accurately answer these
questions buffeted about as I was by tidal waves of information in the
meditation how-to sea, I'd end up not really getting much of anywhere
with it.
It wasn't till I met a man who simplified the process, directed me towards some Western literature on the topic and taught me of the most important facet of meditation, that I felt I knew where to go with my own meditation.
I'm going to pass that direction onto you today.
Now, what this article won't
do is lead you to nirvana-like enlightenment. It won't
lead you to an understanding of the different schools of meditation,
their history and chief aims. Those are things you can explore yourself
if interested as you get deeper in.
Rather, this article will equip you with enough knowledge to stimulate that most important facet of meditation, the "relaxation response", which you can access immediately upon meditating.
Understanding how to elicit the "relaxation response" in yourself has all kind of benefits, from better health to a better ability able to get yourself prepped emotionally in ways that'll help you get women... and we'll go into all of these below.
One of the most annoying, horrible, and downright irritating situations you'll ever run into socially is someone suddenly inveighing against you with emotionally-charged, finger-pointing, judgmental arguments.
These attacks are usually unexpected when you run into them, and they'll frequently catch you off guard. They can be confusing to know how to respond to if you're more accustomed to calm, cool-headed debates about the merits and drawbacks of a specific subject - then suddenly here's someone sandblasting you with hatred and unadulterated emotion. I'm sure you've experienced it at some point or another:
"People like you are the lowest kinds of people there are! You think you can just take whatever you want and not have to suffer the consequences! You think of no one but yourself!"
Suddenly, you're so deeply on the defensive trying to prove these
accusations levied against you are untrue, that you end up effectively
putting your hands up and saying, "Whoa, hey, stop, that's not true at
Morality attacks also usually have a powerful communal effect, with any bystanders to the argument usually feeling either a) swept up in the argument and equally enraged and emboldened, or b) so afraid of being castigated themselves that they either just agree out of fear, or they remain quiet and let things unfold, not wanting to get in the way of an onrushing freight train.
That means that when someone starts hitting you with moral superiority, you need to be quick on your feet to not get quickly cast out as whatever you're being labeled as - and the way to do that, of course, is fighting fire with fire: you must use moral superiority right back.
In "How to Approach a Girl Wherever You Are (Easily)," J comments:
"Hey Chase,
Another Great article you churn these things out left and right man! This one was so info packed I'm finding myself reading it again and again which is a great thing. One idea that was running through my head while reading this post was this concept of cementing emotion.
You mentioned it in your girls chase book but its a brief but very interesting section. I've always wanted to know how to deliver those "Wow what a connection we have" lines.
I was thinking about it the whole time I read this post, because I was noticing more and more that I'd get to step 9 or 10 and flame out there. Like I'd deep dive too much and "break the spell."
And I've been wracking my brained trying to understand what I was doing there but then I remembered your section on cementing emotions. So, I've been reading up on that and your spell broken article.
Would love to hear more thoughts on this man, it's a fascinating aspect of game. Because I've cemented certain emotions in women and have been fascinated with myself. Like WTF! where did that come from.
Anyways man just wanted to drop a line there about that. Maybe I'll add another to the list of article ideas with this one ;) hahaha
The Loyal reader extraordinaire,
Emotions are quick, fleeting things - here one moment, gone the next. What's worse is, emotions are easily forgotten things - a girl may be really into you one minute, but completely have forgotten she was a minute later. And once a feeling's forgotten, good luck trying to bring it back if you hadn't cemented it first.
To teach you the technique of cementing emotions in women's (or anyone's) memory, I want to cover a brain hack today that essentially serves as a memory aid for cementing emotions, so that you can help women recall good emotions they felt for you earlier, even if they aren't feeling them right now.

Inheriting property, family possessions or a trust fund presents mixed emotions, responsibilities and opportunities. Acknowledging these changes is an empowering first step to successfully managing a large inheritance. These changes are normal and acknowledging them is an empowering first step to managing the responsibilities that come with a large inheritance. In this two-part article, I will focus on trust fund inheritances as these often have complex legalities associated with them.
In my experience as a financial planner working with beneficiaries, I have created a short list of things to do to familiarize yourself with your trust fund. Knowledge is power, and informing yourself is the key to long-term success.
1) Read the Trust Documents:
When you first learned of your trust fund, you likely received a stack of legal documents. Undoubtedly, understanding these documents can feel like a daunting task. But reading through the legal documents is an important first step to comprehending the terms your inheritance. While you read the documents, you may find there are legal terms and jargon you may not understand – this is alright! Even without a legal background, there is plenty you can learn if you take the time to read through the documents. Important aspects to learn are:
- The origin of the assets
- The stipulations of the inheritance (how can the money be used?)
- Who is in charge of administering the money
By reading the documents, you may realize you have more or less control of your inheritance than you originally thought. Taking this important first step will give you a starting point for thoroughly understanding your inheritance.
2) Meet with the Trustee
The trustee is the person(s) or corporation that is responsible for administering the inheritance in accordance with the terms of the trust. These terms are spelled out in the trust documents. Trusts, like wills, come with various stipulations for the beneficiaries based on the wishes of the person who left the inheritance (also known as the Grantor).
Once the Grantor passes, the Trustee is responsible for administering the trust for you as the beneficiary. Important aspects of the Trustee to beneficiary relationship to learn are:
- The Trustee's role in the inheritance
- The duties they must fulfill
- The fees they are receiving for their services, if any
A strong working relationship with your Trustee is essential to your long term success; ensure that you are on the same page with your Trustee and have a mutual understanding in regards to the expectations of your inheritance.
3) Review the investments
If your trust fund contains investments in stocks or bonds, it is likely your inheritance is being managed by an investment advisor. If so, meeting with your investment advisor to understand the investments is an important next step. While it may not be necessary to become an investment professional yourself, a basic understanding of how your money is invested is important. It is also crucial to think about your risk appetite; the amount of risk you are willing to take with your money. There is always inherent risk in investing money and determining how much risk you are willing to take for the reward you are seeking should help shape how your money is invested. Here are three main questions to ask your investment advisor:
a) "Are you a Fiduciary?" The term Fiduciary means the person responsible for managing the investments has a legal responsibility to do what is in YOUR best interest. It is crucial to determine if your investment advisor is acting in a fiduciary capacity as it relates to your inheritance – you want your goals and your investment advisor's goals aligned.
b) "Do you give independent investment advice?" Independent investment advice means the person managing your money is not beholden to any propriety investment products or solutions. Having an independent advisor is equally important to your long-term success. Many investment companies have their own, proprietary products (which may have higher than average fees) which may present a conflict of interest. You may want to ask yourself, "how can my advisor represent me in a fiduciary capacity (act in my best interest) while also investing my money in investment products that he/she is commissioned to sell?" This potential conflict of interest is something you should work out in your relationship. If you feel there may be a conflict of interest, seeking a second opinion from an independent investment advisor is a logical and potentially necessary next step.
c) "Are these investments best suited for my financial goals?" Often, if you receive an inheritance, the investments you received were originally in place for the Grantor. While those investments may have been appropriate for that person, they may not be best suited for your financial goals. If your investment advisor has the ability to change the investments within your account(s), it may be necessary to do so. Maybe you are more risk averse or have a longer time horizon for your financial future as compared to the Grantor; as such, work with your investment advisor to create a portfolio of investments that best fit your wishes.
I hope you find this article helpful, please check-in next month for Part 2. As always, if you have inheritance or trust fund related questions, please contact Eric for assistance.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Considers Run For Arizona Governor!
Sheriff Joe also points out that Maricopa County lacks a real newspaper--a problem that seems to plague the entire nation. (click the headline above to read the entire article).
5 comments:
Heh, Joe! Never mind governor. We need you to run for president.
- February 15, 2010 at 9:20 AM
Mega dittos!
I would work hard to support Joe Arpaio for President!
He is exactly the kind of President we need to return this country to good old fashioned American values!
- February 15, 2010 at 1:45 PM
Joe Arpaio is is an American law enforcement officer, and the sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona. Arpaio, who promotes himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff," has become controversial for his approach to operating the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Maricopa County voters reelected him sheriff in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 by double-digit margins.
- February 15, 2010 at 6:37 PM
Before you think he should run for president, maybe you should read a little more about him in his local papper.
That is just one of many articles about his abuse of power.
- February 16, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Must be another liberal rag like the Herald that doesn't like the fact that Joe Arpaio enforces the law and jails illegal aliens!
They all belong in prison!
Start locking them all up and throwing away the key and see how fast millions of them flee the country. Just like Sheriff Joe says, they are all criminals just by being here and belong behind bars!
Now that is what I would call a quick fix to our problems.

Since I've been newly exploring the craft brew tasting scene, I've come across quite a few beer names that have had me laughing. With the over 7,000 brewery locations just in the United States alone according to USA Today's The year in beer: Cheers, there's more than 7,000 breweries operating in the US ; the craft scene is exploding with locations and creativity.
As more and more breweries compete, we as the consumer have limitless options for quality, taste experiences and viewing amazing can and bottle art.
Along with all the aforementioned, beer names have become somewhat of a unique adventure in advertising. As I've chosen beers for sampling numerous times, I've noticed that can or bottle art and craft beer names are the number one reason I pick the beer I sample. So let's dive in and explore these 7 hilarious names of beer that I have found!
1.Poop Your Pants Chocolate Bock: from Perrin Brewing Company
Well, what's more recognizable than poop I guess. It's brown and often mistaken for melted chocolate? Sure, why not.
2. Sour me Unicorn Farts from Duclaw Brewing Company
Majestic, magnificent and always smelling like roses and floral arrangements- Unicorn Farts. Maybe the can explodes with glitter when you open it. Definitely catchy and more importantly unforgettable.
3. Cat Pajamas IPA from Shorts Brewing Company
Apparently Cats love pajamas and a 9.7% IPA. Maybe you will see a pajama wearing cat after a six pack of this!
4. Brown Sugar Brown Cow from D9 Brewing Company
This, funny for so many reasons. I couldn't stop saying it! I bet it's freaking delicious too!
5. New Phone Who Dis? From Evil Genius Beer Company- Carmel Macchiato Porter
Hahahahaha! This brewery is hilarious. Check out their website for other hilarious names like "Shut up Meg" "Santa I know him" and "Purple Monkey Dishwasher".
6. Citra Ass Down from Against the Grain Brewery.
A double IPA that is described as "not mother milk or made with zombie dirt". They are hilarious and offer other beers such as "A Beer" and "Pile of Face".
7. Astronaut Sauce from River Rat Brewery.
"Pairs well with impromptu moonwalks and freezes dried ice cream." This is a favorite of mine!

NEW YORK (Reuters) – CBS Corp
Parsons, who said he had complications from a form of cancer, will be replaced by Strauss Zelnick, who founded the media-focused private equity firm Zelnick Media Capital, according to the statement.
Zelnick currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Zelnick also joined the board in September.
Also last month, CBS Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves resigned amid allegations of sexual assault and harassment. Moonves has said the accusations were false.
At that time, CBS also announced a deal to end litigation against controlling shareholder Shari Redstone and National Amusements Inc for control of the broadcaster and media company. Six board members stepped down and new directors were appointed including both Parsons and Zelnick.

Seek to Enhance Paleontological and Tourist Value of "El Culebrón" Park and Wetland
The Urbanism Ministry (MINVU) works on the prefeasibility of the "Cuenca El Culebrón Paleontological Park" and will invest more than $200 million in the design of a wetland mitigation area. The city already takes protective measures to give value to this green area of Coquimbo.
Working on the prefeasibility of the project to develop a design that seeks to recover the park, "El Culebrón" in Coquimbo is in the Urbanism Ministry. The goal is to rescue this green area threatened by the presence of people who are going to dispose garbage, burn pastures, increase delinquency, illegal settlements, bird hunting and the entry of cisterns trucks for the extraction of water from the wetland.
Project Characteristics
The MINVU objective, which works in conjunction with Coquimbo City and civic groups as "Park Defenders", is to build a public space, allowing recreation and also to enhance and preserve the paleontological legacy of the sector. All in the area that adjoins "Avenida Portugal" in "San Juan de Coquimbo". There are more than 56 hectares, in which there are already soccer fields, a sports club, the San Juan electric substation, the municipal dog kennel in charge of the CEAPA, lands, recycling points and in addition, it is already the "Cuenca El Culebrón" park opera in a quasi-abandonment state.
As there are no reports respect for the paleontological richness of this place it was decided to start this process using as a basis, two studies started a couple of years ago. The first one is the "El Culebrón Coquimbo Park and Wetlands" baseline study by MANKUK Consulting & Services S.A. The second one is the preliminary project called "Paleo-Ecological Park El Culebrón" carried out by the "SUBDERE" and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), within the framework of emerging cities.
Among the main works considered by the project there are infrastructure such as a site museum, 4 access pavilions, BMX and Mountain Bike circuits, implementation of bike paths, parking, pedestrian trails and service vehicle road construction. The park will also have perimeter closure, railings implementation, seats, benches, playgrounds, exercise machines, shadow support, picnic area, public luminaries, grass, planting native tree species and the implementation of an Irrigation System.
Thus, in January 2018 the design for the Park was entered in the investment system, which was objected technically by the Social Development Ministry and is already working on its reformulation.

Finally Paper Offiical!!!
Its taken me nerly to years ot be a certified EMT. I do not sugggest going through EMT school while trying to find a home, plan a wedding, and planning a funeral… life will not let you win.
I passed the course with flying colors. Passed the state proctor test, ALSO with flying colors. But for the life of me I could not pass the National Registry test.
It's no joke.
Take the test seriously.
FISDAP.com saved my life
Failed the first two times taking the test, doing my absolute best trying to memorize signs, symptoms, terms, and pharmocology, with no avail.
Finally, a former chief of mine mentioned FISDAP. after 3 months of using it religiously, as if my life depended on it. ( Because it did. I quickly found out till almost after the fact that you only have one year to pass your national test before you have to take the entire course again.) SO! I was in a mad dash to pass it.
FINALLY the day came. I took my test, nausea and all. 8 am sharp in Little Rock Arkansas.
I had Mr. Fox read me my results after that day in my email.
Hoping for the best, but dreading and expecting the worst.
Would I have to take the entire course again? Almost two years later?
Nope! Mr.Fox grinned at me as he read the email. " Congradulations!…"
Then he stopped… " Rachie…. your state practor test has lapsed… BUT YOU PASSED NATIONAL!!!"
Okay, I can handle that…..
Whats one more hoop?
No. This was also miserable.
Sam Kirkman. Our Best Man, at our wdding, is also in EMT school at UAMS at this time. He mentioned that they were doing their state tests soon as well. MARVLOUS!
I Harrassed Tim Rhinehart till I was blue in the face for a position to come test under him. Came to practices , which were grueling … AND practice test nights.
Test day finally comes, made new buddies, built my strengths, and polishd my weaknesses, aaaaaaaand passed trauma and failed medical twice.
I cried…
So done with life.
Mr. Fox, and all his viking glory, reassured me and encouraged me.
Back to the drawing board. Litterally at the Fire Department.
Practiced, memorized, meditated on medical steps for the Patient assements….
One morning, out of the blue, I recieve an email from Rhinehart, " Can you make it in by 10am tomorrow?" Ive never left work so fast in my life to just up and doing something.
Left the FD as I waved to my Captain in passing, (She understood) and made it to UAMS in 15 minutes.
Talk about being intimidated though. I walked in unaware that they were testing paramedics for the ARMY that day. Jeez… I felt so little. And yest proud of my country all at the same time. LOL
The protcor was so easy going, I was so relieved.
" You passed…. have a great day!…"
Really?!! Thats it?!!!!
" Yes…???"
Little did that man know I almost kissed him square on the mouth for his relief.
It wasl like Christmas, no better than Christmas, at Mommas when I finaly got my certs, patch, and EMT card.
Mr. Fox, little did I know, also had a challenge coin for me as well. My First Challenge coin. a New Yorker FIRE and EMS chalenge coin.
My Heart, day, and two years were so happy, and so very well worth all of it.
Ladies , and Gentlemen,
I, Rachel Veach, am now Paper Offical, Nationally, recognized as an EMT!
– EMT offical! Fire Fighter wannabe…

Powder Coating Troubleshooting
When you run into problems on your application line it can be very difficult to get your powder supplier to help you unless you give the informations below correctly;
- What exactly is the problem?
- What products, lot number and box number are you using?
- Did you try another lot or box?
- Does this happen with all powders or just this one?
- What are your curing conditions?
- How are the parts pretreated?
Poor fluidization
Powder coating has poor fluidization in powder hopper. Powder is supposed to flow like liquid in the hopper. Poor fluidization is recognizable in slow and non-continous transportation of the powder coating in hopper. As a result no homogenous powder film thickness is achieved.
Causes Solutions
Powder level is low in hopper Add fresh powder
Fluidizing air too low or too high adjust air pressure
Fluidizing plate defected Celan or exchange the plate
Fresh powder has poor fluidization Add fluidizaiton addive to powder (contact with your supplier)
Poor attraction
The powder coating has poor attraction to the substrate. The powder coating should electrostatically adhere to the substrate. Othervise it falls off and no proper coating thickness can be achieved.
Causes Solutions
Insufficient grounding clean grounding points and hangers
Incorrrect voltage at the gun Check voltage by device, repair or replace a new one
Too much powder flow to substrate reduce air flow
Gun distance to part too close or too farAdjust the distance 20-30 cm
Insufficient charging of the powder increase the voltage or contact with your supplier
Inappropriate positioning of the parts adjust hanging configuration
Poor penetration
Because of faraday cage effect it is possible to achieve low film thickness in the corners.
Causes Solutions
Insufficient grounding clean grounding points and hangers
Incorrrect voltage at the gun Check voltage by device, repair or replace a new one
Too high voltage reduce voltage
Incorrect spray nozzle try different spray nozzle
Poor gun placement adjust gun position to enter directly into corner
High film thickness
After curing, the film thickness is high.
Causes Solutions
Too high voltage reduce voltage
Excessive powder spray reduce porder feed to gun
Coating time too high increase conveyor speed
Too much pre-heat (if used) reduce preheat temperature
Low film thickness
After curing, the film thickness is low.
Causes Solutions
Insufficient grounding clean grounding points and hangers
Insufficient powder spray set correct powder feed to gun
Insufficient coating time decrease conveyor speed
Faraday cage effect read poor penetration problem
Insufficient powder in hopper Add fresh powder
Inappropriate positioning of the parts adjust hanging configuration
percentage of overspray too high add more fresh powder or reduce overspray powder
Using non Tribo powders in Tribo systems Use tribo powder
Gun-to-part distance too high Reduce distance
Plugged transport system Clean the transport system regularly
Back ionization
Powder is repelled from part in spots. It can occur when the part being coated becomes saturated with free ions, resulting in nowhere for the charge particles to go put back the way it came.
Causes Solutions
Too high voltage reduce voltage
Insufficient grounding clean grounding points and hangers
High film thickness reduce film thickness
Gun distance to part too close Move gun away from substrate
Dusting out of cabinet
Dusting of powder comes out of application cabinet.
Causes Solutions
Insufficient grounding clean grounding points and hangers
Excessive powder spray reduce porder feed to gun
Inappropriate application cabinet Reduce gun amount, increase air suction rate
Too fine powder reduce overspray powder, check ratio of fresh powder
Agglomerates (sintered powder)
The powder coating is lumping in powder box. If the clumps can be easily broken up the powder form should still be usable.
Causes Solutions
Inappropriate storage Store the powder cool and dry area.
Glass transition temperature Tg of contact with your supplier
powder coating is low
Crater is a surface defect. It is blank area in the powder coat.
Causes Solutions
Inappropriate pretreatment check the parameters of pretreatment. Apply the same powder onto untreated panel
Rust on parts apply proper pretreatment, sandblast surface
Oil in feed or atomizing air Check in-line filters and moisture traps in air system
Silicones from anywhere never use product that contains silicone
Incompatibility with powder coatings clean all application equipments and start with fresh powder
Outgassing from substrate Preheat substrate and use proper powder coating for degassing
Substrate is wet increase drying time or temperature
Liquid and powder coating in same plant avoid coming close them

Danú of Galway's Return to Parkmore Pier
When two Galway children set sail with their parents for a circuit of the North Atlantic last summer, little did they know they wouldn't be homeschooling on their own.
Nor was "pandemic" on the list of potential hazards as Lilian (12) and Ruairí (10) Quinlan-Owens, and their parents Vera and Peter, headed south in heavy winds from Kinvara, Co Galway all of 14 months ago.
Brighter sunshine, a westerly wind and an effervescent welcome greeted the family of four on Monday as they sailed their 13m yacht Danú of Galway into Parkmore several hours before high tide.
To the strains of The Ships are Sailing, played by Josephine Boland and PJ Howell, they threw a line ashore and wiped away a tear or two, in between wide smiles.
Navigating the rain forest on the Maroni river in French Guiana and collecting rock from Dominica island's famous Boiling Lake in the Caribbean were among highlights recounted by Lilian on deck.
Reaching the Sahara desert before sunrise after a seven-day trek across the Atlas mountains in Morocco, and swimming with sharks, stingrays, eagle rays and other coral reef fish were some of her brother Ruairí's best memories.
"I did miss my friends, "Lilian said.
When they had to quarantine after the full impact of Covid-19 hit, it was off the small island of Barbuda north of Antigua, where islanders left fresh vegetables and fruit for them on the beach.
They had undergone several quarantines by the time they sailed in yesterday, after a ten-day trip from the Azores north to the Aran islands.
The family had been en route from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean to the island of Montserrat when they heard about Covid-19 lockdowns.
At that stage, Danú had taken them to northern Spain, where they walked in the Picos de Europa mountain range, and to Morocco, where they trekked across the Atlas mountains to ride camels in the Sahara desert.
The couple are both scientists, and Vera is a hydrographer for Infomar, the national seabed mapping programme jointly managed by the Marine Institute and Geological Survey Ireland.
On passage from the Cape Verde Islands to French Guiana last December, they deployed an Argo float which sinks to 2,000m to collects ocean data for climate change research.
The float had already been signed before departure by classmates of Lilian and Ruairí at Kilcolgan Educate Together primary school, some of whom were on hand for yesterday's (mon) homecoming.
En route home via the Azores, they had to ration their water and ask for a top-up of fuel from a passing tanker.
After leaving that Portuguese archipelago, Danú was almost 400 nautical miles south of the Irish coast when the family had to "hove to" or take down all the sails, secure the tiller and batten down the hatches as they were hit by 35-knot winds.
"We rode out the conditions over ten hours, and were hit by two "growlers" where a huge wall of water swept over Danú, knocking the rails right down under before she came back up," Vera Quinlan-Owens said.
"The boat was brilliant, but my heart did flutter a bit – thankfully, the kids slept right through it all," she said.
They hit another system of force six to seven winds when closer to the Aran Islands, making it impossible to navigate the Gregory sound.
Vera's father, Fergus and his wife Kay Quinlan on their 12m cutter, Pylades and the Minogue family from Kinvara had sailed out to meet them on Inis Mór.
Participating craft in the "Lambs weekend" cruise in company hosted by Galway Bay Sailing Club also celebrated their adventure.
Yesterday's final leg home under sail was marked by a large banner held by school friends at Parkmore pier, welcoming the "gallant crew".
After spending much of the past two months on her own in the Atlantic making her way home from the Caribbean via the Azores, the Quinlan-Owens family's 43ft ketch Danu found her crew being swept up into a socially-controlled welcome home party last in Kilronan. The Galway Bay Sailing Club flotilla co-ordinated by Cormac Mac Donncha in the "Lambs Weekend" cruise-in-company arrived in on a busy programme which had already taken them to Rossaveal and is today (Saturday) taking some on round Slyne Head to Inishbofin, while others will either stay on in Kilronan through Saturday night or else make the passage today to Roundstone, where tomorrow night (Sunday) sees the "Grand Gathering" as the boats return from Bofin.
It's a programme which will see quite a few collective sea miles being logged along Ireland's Atlantic seaboard. But meanwhile in Kilronan, where Vera Quinlan and Peter Owens and their family had been relaxing since their post-Azores arrival on Wednesday night with Vera's father Fergus and his wife Kay on their world-girdling 12m cutter Pylades, and friends Conor and Breda Minogue on their Bownan 40 Golden Harvest, the social pace was allowed to go up a carefully-monitored notch or two in the best Aran Islands style.
An elderly couple had a narrow escape when their car left the road and tumbled over rocks towards the sea at Galway's popular Blackrock diving tower on Wednesday evening.
Emergency services including the Galway Fire and Ambulance Service, Gardai, Irish Coastguard helicopter and RNLI lifeboat volunteers were alerted after the Nissan Almera reversed over the pavement at Salthill promenade and fell about six metres (20 ft) down towards the beach.
The incident occurred at around 5 pm, just an hour after high tide, but the car did not hit the water. Several units of Galway Fire Brigade managed to free the elderly couple from the car on the rock armour.
Car accident in #Salthill pic.twitter.com/lOwzrx0Zki— Inga Turcan (@Inga_Turcan) June 17, 2020
The Irish Coast Guard helicopter which was en route from Shannon was stood down when it appeared that the vehicle was not in danger of hitting the water.
The couple was taken by ambulance to University Hospital Galway. It is understood that their injuries are not life-threatening.
Sgt Vincent Jennings of Salthill Garda Station said that it was a "miracle" that there were no fatalities or injuries.
"The Prom has been very busy, and this was just an hour after high tide," Sgt Jennings said. He said onlookers gave several rounds of applause when the couple were stretchered up to the ambulance by paramedic staff.
Labour councillor Niall MacNelis, who was leaving a Galway City Council meeting in Leisureland, Salthill just after the incident happened, paid tribute to the Garda and emergency personnel.
"If it had been a warm summer's evening, this could have been a very serious incident, and we are all glad that the couple survived," he said.
Efforts were being made by the fire brigade to remove the vehicle from the rocks. Traffic diversions were put in place for several hours in Galway this evening.
European Flags Fly on Galway's Salthill Promenade
A former Galway mayor has welcomed a move to fly flags of over 20 European countries along Salthill's promenade.
Labour councillor Niall MacNelis welcomed the initiative as "a gesture of solidarity to European neighbours who are badly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic".
"Galway is a multicultural city, and while we have asked people to fly Tricolours as a gesture of support for our healthcare workers, we are also aware that there are people of many nationalities living and working here," he said.
Most, but not all of the EU member states, are represented on the light standards - with the non-EU state, Norway, included, and Britain's Union Jack excluded.
When Pierce Purcell and others such as the late Dave Fitzgerald and David Whitehead were trying to get Galway Bay Sailing Club into being fifty years ago, they had to deal with the reality that Galway city's long and varied coastline presented many challenges. Access points of varying quality to recreation afloat included the Claddagh on the River Corrib itself, plus the ships' dock accessing the Bay by a sea-lock, together with the spacious inland sea of Lough Corrib in the north of the city, dinghy sailing waters in the partially-tidal inlet of Lough Atalia, and several sheltered sea inlets to the east of the city, towards Oranmore at the head of Galway Bay.
In time, GBSC settled on headquarters at Renville, with its sheltered inlet near Oranmore, to create a proper clubhouse/dinghy park/anchorage complex. It's there that 2020's Golden Jubilee celebrations will begin on this Friday night (February 21st) with Pierce Purcell presenting a "Reeling in the Year" show (proceeds to the RNLI) about the eventual move ro Renville, where until 1981 they had to make do with a caravan as the main shore base for a growing range of activities.
However, members still fondly remember those early winter gatherings in the Salthill Hotel to the west of the city, where they diligently built a membership base which was developing as a result of pioneering dinghy sailing events in which they'd tested the usefulness of the various sailing possibilities on the city's waterfront.
In time, however, the move to Renville became inevitable, as the growing number of keelboats required a 24-hour-accessible anchorage. But many senior GBSC members have the fondest memory of those early gatherings at the Salthill Hotel, so it's there on Sunday (February 23rd) that a Golden Jubilee Coffee Morning will get going at noon, and if it phases into a convivial nautically-themed shared viewing of the Ireland-England Rugby Match, so be it….
Galway 2020 Opening Ceremony "under review" Due to Weather
Galway 2020 has said it is keeping the weather situation "under review" for its opening ceremony this evening writes Lorna Siggins
Met Éireann has upgraded its weather warning status from yellow to orange for Galway on Saturday, with heavy rainfall and south to south-west winds reaching mean speeds of 65 to 80 km per hour, with gusts of up to 120 km per hour.
An estimated 20,000 to 40,000 people are expected to attend the open-air event in the Claddagh South Park on Saturday evening, hosted by British company Wonder Works.
Live music, pyrotechnics and seven giant glowing orbs representing county and city communities are promised during the ceremony, and a fleet of Galway hookers was due to set sail – but this may have to be curtailed due to the weather forecast.
President Michael D Higgins is due to declare the year-long European capital of culture open just after 6 pm.
Galway 2020 has said that it is "aware of the current weather advisories".
"As public safety is our primary concern, we are keeping the situation under review," it said in a statement on Friday evening.
" Our intention is that the event will still go ahead, but may be subject to alteration. We will update further on Saturday morning," it said
Met Éireann said that Galway City Council is monitoring the current forecasts with it, and has "adjusted the event programme to take account of the forecast weather conditions and to ensure public safety during the event".
The event license for the opening ceremony extends to Sunday, but Storm Ciara will be sweeping over the country and wind conditions are expected to be more severe.
A new work by celebrated Irish language poet Louis de Paor is due to be premiéred, with the voices of Olwen Fouére, Bríd Ní Neachtain, Stephen Rea, Naisrín Elsafty and Caitlín Ní Chualáin.
Event hosts Wonder Works, veterans of the 2012 and 2016 Olympic games in London and Rio de Janeiro, have billed it as a "large scale dramatic explosion of sound and vision".
Bad Weather in All Its Glory The Focus of Galway 2020 Street Mural
Bad Irish weather and why we should all embrace it is the theme of Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture's first street mural.
The mural was unveiled in Galway city centre by TG weather presenter Caitlín Nic Aoidh for the Hope it Rains/Soineann nó Doineann project yesterday.
Galway-based artist Shane O'Malley has used hydro-chromic paint for an abstract image, the shape, size, geometric patterns, and colours of which change in reaction to rainfall.
The direction, intensity and amount of rain determine which version of the mural is visible, making it as changeable as the weather, artistic director and curator Ríonach Ní Néill explained.
Located on the corner of Church Lane and Shop Street, the mural named "Changes change" is a "visual barometer for pedestrians of patterns of rainfall and drought", the project says.
Galway 2020 creative director Helen Marriage said the programme has been "built around the central themes of landscape, language and migration, and Hope it Rains | Soineann nó Doineann will work with local artists to address a constant of the Galway landscape".
Ní Néill said her project is "challenging artists to create works that directly interact with and respond to the weather, and use it as a source of creativity.
"The project fosters a thoughtful approach which seeks the advantages of our mild, windy and wet weather, all the while building awareness of the need for immediate action to mitigate climate change," she said.
Cormac MacDonncha of Galway is December Sailor of the Month (Leadership in Sailing)
At year's end, the Sailors of the Month adjudicators survey the overall scene in search of an outstanding and innovative event which has added to the variety of the Irish sailing programme. In 2019 this role was well filled by the Galway-Lorient Cruise-in-Company organised in July with great energy, enthusiasm and effectiveness by Cormac Mac Donncha. It attracted 27 boats including a French contingent, together with participants from as far north as Sligo on Ireland's Atlantic seaboard, and set new levels of target achievement which similar future events will do well to match.
Galway's Harbourmaster Hits Out at Lack of Storm Warning
Galway's harbourmaster has hit out at the lack of warning for a severe storm which caused flooding in parts of the city and Salthill last night writes Lorna Siggins.
The city's emergency plan was invoked after southerly winds forecast at 40 to 45 knots hit 73 knots, and there was a sea surge over quays in the docks and in Salthill.
A cargo ship making regular deliveries to the Aran Islands was thrown up on rock armour when it broke one of its moorings. The 39-metre Saoirse na Mara sustained considerable damage during the height of the winds at around 8 pm.
Capt Sheridan said Valentia Coast Guard had been informed last night, and there was no pollution from the ship and no injuries to crew. Efforts would be made to refloat the vessel at high tide this morning, he said.
Capt Sheridan said the city had "only dodged a bullet by a miracle", but said he was furious at the lack of warning.
"With climate change and sea-level rise, we are only going to have more of these events and we need to be prepared," he said.
"This inaccuracy of forecasting highlights our lack of ocean literacy and our need to focus on understanding what is actually going on in the ocean," he said.
"We need to remind ourselves that the planet is 70 per cent water, and the ocean controls so much of our daily lives. Climate change is here and now," Capt Sheridan emphasised.
The port had hosted an emergency training exercise for staff yesterday afternoon, and so Capt Sheridan said he had been particularly vigilant about weather forecasts.
"That exercise went off well, but at 3 pm it was forecast for 40 to 45-knot winds on Wednesday night. It reached 73 knots and was off the scale."
The gusts caused widespread damage to trees on routes in and out of the city.
Galway Sailors Will Give Their Own Connemara the Visitor Treatment
One of the great successes of the 2019 season was the Galway-Lorient Cruise-in-Company in July to celebrate the ancient seaborn links between the City of the Tribes and the historic port and Celtic centre of South Brittany on France's Biscay coast writes W M Nixon
Put together in precise detail by serial organiser Cormac MacDonncha of Galway Bay SC, it attracted an impressive fleet of 27 boats drawn mostly from Ireland's Atlantic seaboard, but also including the key ingredient of three fine boats which had come over from Brittany.
They were led by Lorient YC President Jean-Gab (Jean-Gabriel) Samzun with his handsome Peterson 46 Trilogy, which once upon a time was Robin Aisher's Yeoman XXI, a finisher in the storm-battered 1979 Fastnet Race with the crew including the owner's daughter Sally, who these days is Mrs O'Leary of Crosshaven.
The Lorient sailors are so enamoured of Connacht that they're returning in a reciprocal visit to Galway port in June of next year. But meanwhile the Galway and West Coast sailors - having successfully taken on the intricate waters of west and south Brittany in 2019 - have decided that later in 2020 they should make a point of some detailed navigation and pilotage in the cruising paradise which is on their doorstep, and much cherished by visiting cruising boats – particularly those from France.
Because of course, that's the problem with being based in Galway. The wondrously intricate and mysterious coast of Connemara – "The Land of the Sea" – is only about twenty miles to the westward. Getting there isn't thought of as any big deal by Galway sailors. Yet such is the place's enchantment that sailors from all over Europe and further afield will voyage for many miles just to savour the joys of this unique coastline, which has rightly been described as more of a personality than place.
So the latest Mac Donncha project is a detailed August Bank Holiday weekend cruise-in-company for West Coast sailors in the hope of experiencing the Connemara coast as visitors see it. They'll be busy in the city in June with the hospitality for the boats from France, but by July the seemingly continuous city Festival Season is underway, and it gets beyond all reason at the end of the month with the Galway Races.
That is when it's reckoned the GBSC cruising sailors and their friends from up and down the west coast can be reasonably excused for being out of Galway City and in Connemara and places adjacent, so the programme being mapped out is:
- Thursday, July 30th: Depart Galway Docks for Rosamhil (Rossaveal) Marina.
- Friday, July 31st: Rosamhil to Kilronan (Aran Islands)
- Saturday, August 1st: Kilronan to Inishbofin
- Sunday, August 2nd: Inishbofin to Roundstone
- Monday, August 3rd (Bank Holiday) Roundstone to Rosamhil.
- Monday, August 3rd Cruise-in-Company concludes at Rosamihil.
Those who know the coast of Connemara will realise that the passages from Galway Bay to and from Inishbofin involve negotiating Slyne Head, and for the more quirky cruising brethren and sisterhood, negotiating Slyne Head means contemplating the use of the inner passage through the narrow gap known either as the Joyce Sound or Joyce's Pass, or indeed the Joyce Sound Pass.
Whatever name you choose for this tricky channel, it can be something of a challenge. But the rewards in distance saved and the avoidance of the often lumpy seas off Slyne Head make it an attractive proposition, though a careful reading of the Irish Cruising Club directions as compiled by Honorary Editor Norman Kean shows that this is not a short-cut to be trifled with.
But whatever way you go in negotiating Slyne Head, this is a wonderful away-from-it-all area, a true holiday coast. As ever, the Galway hospitality goes the extra distance – the word is that if you don't see yourself having the time to get involved with your own boat, the GBSC welcome machine will try to facilitate you with a berth on a locally-based boat.
And as a taster of what being with the Galway fleet can offer, here's the vid from the summer's cruise to Lorient.

A Conversation With William Shatner
William Shatner is a Canadian and an Emmy Award-winning actor best recognized for his roles on Star Trek, Boston Legal and T.J. Hooker. Outside of his iconic acting career, he is also a New York Times bestselling author and occasional recording artist.
Hardcore fans will also be able to wax lyrical about Shatner's underrated albums and his "notorious cover of Pulp's "Common People." But how many people reading this know about his love of technology and investing time in tech startups?
Back In 1997 in the heart of the dot-com boom era, Shatner teamed up with travel discount site, Priceline.com. Priceline's Nasdaq listed stock (NASDAQ: PCLN) has traveled from approximately $16.00 for the initial public offering, to $1840 more recently where it rests with a US$90 billion dollar market cap.
Shatner is clearly passionate about using technology to simplify experiences and make things less expensive, quicker and easier to use. But, he also has a level of self-awareness around the aging process and candidly spoke of a determination to look to the future and resist clinging to the past. So much so, that is currently writing a book about it.
Elsewhere, many believe that Twitter is currently experiencing an identity crisis caused by a lack of growth and ability to find a buyer. Trolls and keyboard warriors have been accused of spreading hatred and extremism. Stephen Fry even described Twitter as ''a stalking ground for the sanctimoniously self-righteous'' before walking away from his account.
In tech circles, Shatner is known for juggling several ideas or projects. As a heavy user of the Twitter platform, he also unintentionally nearly broke the internet recently by tweeting about Justin Trudeau's choice of 'Star Wars' socks. But, I asked him how he thinks the platform could be used for the greater good?
While much of the media continues to focus on the negative aspects of the online news and social networking service, Shatner told me how is focusing on the giant wave of users who want to use Twitter as a community that helps each other out.
Shatner advised he is also expanding his creative endeavors by turning to technology to develop what he is calling the Ubuntu Project, referencing the South African concept of common humanity.
The concept involves reaching out to Twitter directly to enable its users to support each other through small donations. As a Twitter user, Shatner is convinced that majority of people that use the online service have a united kindness that can be channeled for the community to provide help and support to each other.
Our conversation left me thinking that this project would also be the perfect antidote to the platforms image problem. His philanthropic mindset and passion in using technology for the benefit of humanity is a side of the iconic actor that we seldom get to hear about.
Whether it's investing his time in startups such as LottoGopher, leveraging Twitter's community for the greater good or working on his future book about the aging process, it's clear to me that there is much more to William Shatner than Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek Franchise.

Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano incur early issues on pit road
Pit road was expected to be treacherous at Talladega Superspeedway. It proved to be just that for a couple of Chase for the Sprint Cup drivers – on the opening green-flag pit stops.
Denny Hamlin was caught speeding on pit road and had to serve a penalty.
1/4 Race Summary:— Joe Gibbs Racing (@JoeGibbsRacing) October 23, 2016
• @DennyHamlin has been racing for the lead in the main pack.
• A speeding penalty on 1st stop
• Still on lead lap pic.twitter.com/J0AEaeEEFp

Joey Logano had an even worse scenario. He left pit road with the jack wedged under his car. If it had slipped out on the ensuing lap a caution would have come out, but it remained locked under his car as he made his lap.
So, @joeylogano took a little something extra after that last pit stop. #TheChase pic.twitter.com/nViGCbqZdU— NASCAR (@NASCAR) October 23, 2016
The situation was costly, but not as much as it could have been. Martin Truex Jr. exited a few laps later with an apparent engine failure, which would end his Chase hopes after a few more green-flag laps. By Lap 47, Logano was 27th and Hamlin was 19th. Both remained on the lead lap.

It's a Friday night, the weekend is here, and you want to get faded without losing your cool and acting funny around your squad or strangers. I've got you.
One Drink Every One Hour
Wherever you are you'll be there for a couple of hours especially if it's an all-nighter, you need to drink calmly and not rush it. Finishing your drink very early just gets more drinks thrown your way and we all know what happens when that happens. No one likes someone who's already gone after 30 minutes at location. That's weak.
Know Yourself
You have to know the message your body is sending you after every drink you take, some drinks take over slowly, other's immediately so you have to let it all settle and see how you're feeling before getting another.
Never Gulp Always Sip
"Oh Kool-Aid," no please it's not your 3rd birthday party in KG, there's probably a hidden kick under the cup and don't be gulping everything because you're thirsty. Sip it patiently like the drink is this boy/girl you are vibing, relax and get to know its secrets.
Always Eat
Before you handle a cup or two you have to eat proper food. Not eating lowers your tolerance and you'll be puking on your 3rd or 5th bottle without warning. If you didn't get to, eat whilst drinking. It's not a substitute but it's definitely going help you maintain your tolerance.
Never Drink Water
If you do get super faded whilst everybody is just alright and it's getting worse, don't reach for the bottle of water, wait it out. If you do touch water, sip twice and put it down. Gulp all the water and you might as well put your arms around the shoulders of two people to carry you home.

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the boldest leader of them all?
According to a study, when it comes to leadership, women are bolder than their male counterparts.
The study was conducted by Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman, the CEO and President, respectively, of Zenger/Folkman, a leadership consultancy business.
The study's findings seem to challenge the way people have thought about men and women leaders.
It has always been thought that men tend to be bolder and take more risks, while women typically avoid risk-taking in the business world.
Zenger and Folkman involved 75,000 leaders from all around the world to conduct their study.
From that, they were able to conclude that women were bolder than men in leadership roles, after using 360 degree assessments of each leader to help compile a "boldness" index.
The index was based off seven different leadership behaviors:
- Challenges standard approaches.
- Creates an atmosphere of continual improvement.
- Does everything possible to achieve goals.
- Gets others to go beyond what they originally thought possible.
- Energizes others to take on challenging goals.
- Quickly recognizes situations where change is needed.
- Has the courage to make needed changes.
In an article published in the Harvard Business Review, Zenger and Folkman discussed what they found.
On average, women rank in the 52nd percentile on the boldness scale while their male counterparts rank in the 49th percentile.
While a three percent difference between men and women may not seem like a significant difference, Zenger and Folkman note that the difference is significant "because 'men take more risks' is so ingrained in social science."
So, where are the boldest women in business?
Women who work in sales recorded the highest boldness score, while women who work in engineering and safety recorded the lowest boldness score.
In addition, women ranked higher than men in boldness in all business functions that were measured.
In female-dominated functions such as HR, the difference between men and women was minimal. However, in male-dominated functions (e.g. R&D, facilities, IT, and manufacturing), women were much bolder leaders than men were.
To take it a step further, Zenger and Folkman analyzed the top eight male-dominated functions and the top two female-dominated functions, to find out whether women were bolder from the beginning of their career or if the boldness developed over time.
They found that women who were 30 and younger in male-dominated professions were in the 62nd percentile on the boldness scales, while the same age group in female-dominated professions ranked only in the 42nd percentile.
Both Zenger and Folkman think the reason behind their findings is that being a younger woman in a male-dominated profession "requires a fairly bold personality — a willingness to challenge the status quo, push harder for results, and do something out of the ordinary."
