ICT Tenders: SITA gets going
The latest edition of the National Tender Bulletin sees government procurement recovering from the distractions of the political process and returning to the business of buying. The spurt in tender notices is led by the State Information Technology Agency (SITA). With its job as Government's technology supplier, it's good to see the agency stepping on to the stage once again.
The issue is led by software requests followed closely by services, with advertisements in the double digits for both. Hardware opportunities, on the other hand, are limited to three. Internet-related interest remains high while telecommunications sees some attention returning.
Moving to the close of the bulletin, government procurement officers are getting back into the work of awarding tenders again. Fortunately the issue announces only one cancellation.
BankSETA provides this week's notice of interest, revealing there is money to be made in the hazy area of internships. The authority's announcement awards a cyber security internship to Gijima at a cost of R32 million.

The Adair lab is focused primarily on developing clinical applications of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy to treat a wide range of genetic defects and malignancies. HSCs are attractive targets for gene therapy given their ability to remain viable following ex-vivo manipulation. Despite this favorable amenability, HSC gene therapy is heavily limited in clinical applications due to concerns over safety as well as obstacles within gene therapy protocols (i.e. difficulties achieving successful genetic modification or transfer of genetic material, long-term engraftment of modified cells, side-effects of insertional mutagenesis, etc.). Much of the ongoing research within the Adair lab is centered on refining the HSC gene therapy process to alleviate these concerns and bring gene therapy treatments to the forefront of accepted medical practice. Specific disease applications of gene therapy include Fanconi anemia (FA), Hemoglobinopathies and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a monogenic inherited disease affecting DNA repair which has many clinical manifestations. Of these, early bone marrow failure causes the greatest morbidity and mortality in FA patients. This disease is most commonly treated by allogeneic bone marrow transplantation; however donors can be difficult to find and the systemic defect in DNA repair requires reduced intensity conditioning prior to transplant, which increases complications such as graft vs. host disease. Autologous transplantation of gene corrected hematopoietic stem cells would negate these problems, thus making the gene therapy approach highly desirable.Despite being an early candidate disease for hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy, no successful therapeutic benefit has been achieved to date. This is primarily due to low numbers of hematopoietic stem cells in FA patients. Moreover, these cells are exquisitely fragile and respond poorly to manipulations required for successful gene transfer.
The Adair lab previously developed modified gene transfer protocols to preserve the few numbers of fragile stem cells available from FA patients by incorporating agents to prevent oxidative DNA damage and accomplish successful gene transfer with minimal manipulation in as short as 24 hours.Dr. Adair is currently leading a clinical trial investigating the potential for gene-corrected autologous hematopoietic stem cells to prevent bone marrow failure in FA patients who have defects in the FANCA gene, the most common FA genetic defect in the U.S. [NCT01331018]. This trial utilizes a self-inactivating lentivirus vector to transfer a functional copy of the FANCA gene into FA patient hematopoietic stem cells. The Adair lab oversees collection, manufacturing and infusion of these gene modified cells under cGMP guidelines. In addition, the Adair lab measures levels of gene modified cells and examines the clonal repertoire of engrafted gene modified cells in FA patients treated in this study.In collaboration with the laboratories of Hans-Peter Kiem and Pamela Becker, Dr. Adair measures clinical response in these patients
Dr. Adair also works closely with the International Fanconi Anemia Gene Therapy Working Group to develop new approaches to gene therapy in this uniquely challenging disease setting. Current Adair lab research in gene therapy for FA uses mouse models of the disease to evaluate in vivo gene delivery, as well as modified protocols for ex vivo gene transfer which increase numbers of gene modified cells available for transplantation.
Approximately 1.1 million births worldwide are at risk for hemoglobinopathies every year, effecting as many as 25 in every 1,000 births in geographic regions where malaria falciparum is prevalent, owing to a natural resistance to malaria infection conferred by hemoglobin (Hb) genetic variance. In developed regions, patients live with chronic disease unless treated with an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) from an unaffected donor. If a donor is not identified, patients are at risk of iron overload from chronic transfusions. In underdeveloped regions, survival is significantly lower. For example, in Africa, childhood mortality is 40% in patients with hemoglobinopathies, compared to 16% in all children. Even when HSCT is available, complications such as infection and graft-versus-host disease arise, especially when the donor is unrelated or mismatched for human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Moreover, this treatment is not available on large scale and has been shown to be impacted by ethnicity in terms of complications experienced by patients that undergo HSCT and on the likelihood of identifying a HLA matched donor.
Retrovirus-mediated gene addition into hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) has demonstrated curative outcomes for hemoglobinopathies. However, only centers with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-compliant facilities and the infrastructure to support them are capable of administering gene-modified cell products. Our lab developed a simplified manufacturing platform to automate this process in a small, mobile footprint that could be used in the patient's room [Adair et al., Nature Communications, 2016]. Despite this major advance, limited quantities of therapeutic vector can be produced at GMP quality owing to the requirement for a living cell to assemble the viral particles and then subsequently purify these particles from cells and other cellular debris. This difficulty creates a major bottleneck to widespread use of this gene therapy treatment.
Gene editing has been proposed as a safer alternative to retrovirus-mediated gene transfer, made possible by the development of engineered nucleases such as clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas nucleases. While these designer nucleases are easier to synthesize than retroviruses, they can only target a break in the DNA. To engineer a precise genetic change at the break site, a DNA repair process known as homology directed repair (HDR) must be employed. For HDR to occur, a more complex payload must be delivered including the designer nuclease and a DNA template encoding the precise change. The Adair laboratory studies engineered nanomaterials that can passively administer all of the machinery required for precise genetic modification with specific efficacy in HSPC. While these nanoparticles therapeutically target hemoglobinopathies currently, they have broad potential across many diseases.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a worldwide epidemic that has only been cured in a single case (the Berlin Patient) with a complex and unique treatment regimen that is not currently possible in all HIV+ patients. This patient received an allogeneic bone marrow transplant from a donor with a mutation in the CCR5 co-receptor for HIV infection. This rendered the transplanted bone marrow naturally resistant to HIV infection. Gene therapy could be used to produce the same clinical benefit in a greater number of HIV+ patients by allowing genetic modification of a patient's own cells. However, CCR5 is not the only coreceptor that HIV particles can utilize to infect blood cells. The Adair lab, in collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Hans-Peter Kiem, developed a self-inactivating lentivirus vector for transfer of two therapeutic genes: (1) a short hairpin RNA which directs cellular degradation of CCR5 transcripts, and (2) a c peptide (mC46), which is expressed in the cell membrane and prevent fusion of HIV vector particles with the cell membrane regardless of which co-receptor is used for infection. This vector also encodes the P140K mutant MGMT transgene, which provides gene modified cells a selective advantage in vivo when a combination of alkylating agent chemotherapy and the wild-type MGMT inhibitor, O6-benzylguanine, are administered.
This vector is currently being applied in a phase I clinical trial of gene therapy for patients with AIDS lymphoma [NCT02343666]. The Adair laboratory oversees manufacturing and infusion of these gene modified cells under cGMP guidelines. In addition, the Adair lab measures levels of gene modified cells and examines the clonal repertoire of engrafted gene modified cells in patients treated in this study. Current research in the Adair lab seeks to refine closed system, automated manufacturing of gene modified blood cells to make gene and cell therapies more readily available in resource-challenged countries where the largest HIV+ populations reside.

Outfit Details | Jacket (Free People. similar), Overalls (Madewell, on sale!), Shirt (c/o State of G), Shoes (Adidas), Purse (Chanel), Sunglasses (Valentino).
When the overall trend starting gaining speed about a year and a half ago, I'll admit that I could be found scoffing and laughing at the idea that my favorite go-to outfit from 6th grade was making a comeback. Well, friends, I can honestly say that I have fully embraced overalls and I am officially obsessed with them. They are insanely comfortable and they help me feel so damn cool. This Madewell pair is by far my favorite pair because of that awesome button down front. How cool are those buttons?! Plus, this pair have some stretch, which makes them even more fun to wear. Honestly, if you haven't tried overalls yet, don't laugh them off before you try on an updated pair. Madewell has the best selection I've seen and the prices are great! Hey, it's the weekend, aka the perfect time to try something new.
Have a great weekend!

With the increased number of population and improved finance facilities it is quite expected that every common people nowadays owns a car. This has led to the increase of car accidents also. It takes only an instance to get into an accident but the after effects are even severe. Either the owner is in debt with the medical bills or has damaged the car pretty bad.
If one is under the concern of car smashed then there are good professionals available who can actually manage and get it repaired. Car Smash Repairs in Perth can actually help one out under such circumstances. Whether it's with the insurance or pick up facilities there are professionals who can renovate your vehicle within the quickest possible stretch.
By means of advanced machinery, sociable staff and knowledge Car Smash Repairs are the most famous activity today. Providing exceptional services with more than three decades car smash darning industry have solved the pain of handling even of insurance paper work with specific guidelines saving time and money.
It's even more awkward of not having a car when one needs it the most and it's in the garage getting repaired. A few of the private companies even provide car rents in such cases for the reason that they understand the necessity and provide customer satisfaction at its best.
First of its kind cutting-edge machinery can reinstate any car model to its accurate condition within days. So one can be sure that they get the optimum value for their money spend. Their deal strategy is to endeavour to satisfy with guarantee that the vehicle is best treated.

'20,000 Leagues under the sea' gets Honorable Mention at Open Science of Cambre
From 15-16 September 2018 Spanish-Portuguese teacher team Palma Garcia Hormigo, Ana Villaescusa and Liliana Fernandez from Portugal participated in the contest 'Open Science of Cambre' (A Coruña, Spain). On site they presented their #SonS2017 follow-up joint project '20,000 Leagues under the sea'. The focus of the project is on children of pre primary and primary school and introduces them to scientific knowledge with simple STEM experiments (chemistry, physics, biology or robotics). Another aim of the project is to encourage the children to a develop a consciousness on how important it is to conserve the marine environment, to work together as a team and to pay respect on the opinion of others. The voyage of the Nautilus, the submarine created by Jules Verne for his novel, is the guiding thread of this project. A jury of experts selected the project among the winners of this contest.

At their stand the Spanish-Portuguese team moved the sea to the fair and hundreds of visitors explored how a periscope works, invesitgated the morphology of fish through the Japanese technique of Gyotaku, manufactured slime, learned about the marine trophic chains or about the different species that populate the Oceans through which the Nautilus sailed.
Palma Garcia Hormigo, Ana Villaescusa and Liliana Fernandez were very pleased that their work was highlighted among the more than 70 exhibitors who attended the fair, which was organised by Professor Jose Viñas de Cambre and his Xentde100cia Club team.
Open Science has been catalogued as an event of scientific interest at a European level on the Scientix platform.
Press review on Spanish #SonS2017 project by Gabriel Pinto
On 25 June 2018, the Science Information Agency SINC (a service of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, FECYT) published the report 'A clay pot cooler for facilitating Nigerian girls attend school' where a research by Prof Gabriel Pinto, Ismael Díaz, and University student Carla Ortiz, is explained in detail with a very pedagogical video. The subject is a part of the project 'Engaging students with STEM learning through a magical substance: the water!' that Prof Pinto presented at the European Science on Stage festival 2017 in Debrecen, Hungary, as well as at several workshops, e.g. in Switzerland 2017. The article reports about the pot-in-pot system: an evaporative cooling refrigerator device which uses a porous outer clay pot lined with wet sand, contains another inner pot, where within the food is placed. An important advantage is that this device does not use electricity. In the 1990s Mohamed Bah Abba developed this device for application in rural northern Nigeria. Thanks to his invention, among other multiple positive impacts on the population, and because of the ability to keep food fresh for longer periods, girls can go to market once a week rather than once a day, and there is more time for them to attend school. Read the full article here.
20,000 leagues under the sea: a Spanish-Portuguese joint project
Liliana Fernándes teacher at the Basic School nº2 Vila Verde in Portugal and Ana Villaescusa, president of the Association 'Friends of Science', Diverciencia in Algeciras, met at the European Science on Stage festival 2017 in Debrecen, Hungary. Together with Palma Garcia Hormigo, a teacher of Puertoblanco School in Algeciras, they decided to work together and develop a joint project for pre-primary and primary school children called '20,000 leagues under the sea'. The project introduces students to the STEAM disciplines through the story by Jules Verne.
Here comes a video with the summary of the first year of work with the joint project '20000 leagues under the sea' made with great enthusiasm and effort:
#SonS2019: pre-selection process in Spain in full swing
Last March the Exporecerca Jove fair took place in Barcelona. A jury of four people from Ciencia en Acción awarded two teams with a participation at the national Science on Stage festival that will take place within the 19th edition of 'Ciencia an Acción' at the Cubic, Viladecans, Barcelona, from 5-7 October 2018. At the event in October the Spanish STEM teacher delegation for the European Science on Stage festival #SonS2019 in Cascais, Portugal, will be chosen. Joel Romero Hernàndez with his project "Seeking for the principles behind non-invasive Early Cancer Detection by the use of nanoparticle SERS and probabilistic analysis" as well as David Fernández Prieto, Jorge GarcíaVázquez and Bruno Barreiros Paredes with their project "Study of the efficiency of poto (Epipremnum aureum) and tape (Chlorophytum comosum) in the elimination of volatile organic compounds in homes" will take place in the national finale - maybe, we will also see them in Portugal. Good look!

If you're young and artsy and want to meet locals who share those traits, come here. Technically its a cinema, showing art films, documentaries, crime shows, and the like, but plenty of people come for the drinks. Through the door past the sofa chairs, the atmosphere is faded and somewhat dingy, but still charming at the 10m (30-ft.) bar. There's plenty of conversation, good drinks, and sympathetic company. The bar starts filling up around 9:30pm and by midnight it's packed, often with university students. It's a local secret, so don't dare mention you're a tourist.

I've put up an initial Agenda page for this week's F2F: http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/F2F/Sydney_2012/Agenda Let me know if there are any timing problems for topics you are interested in. Also note there's still plenty of free time in the schedule. I expect to fill that up first with any remaining SVG2 Requirements discussion and if there is still time left over, and no other topics are raised, then we can work on actions and spec text writing, which I am guessing most of us haven't had much time for recently.

Is there any idiom or proverb in English that explains when someone put the first step/stone wrong, the rest of job will not end well?
3 Answers
- bluebellbkkLv 71 month ago
Perhaps the old saying:
For want of a nail the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of a horse the battle was lost;
For the loss of the battle the kingdom was lost -
And all for the want of a horse-shoe nail.
Note that in this context "want" means "lack" or "absence".
In the first line a horse loses its shoe because one nail was missing, a nail that should have held the shoe firmly to the horse's hoof.
The absence of that one tiny nail led in the end to the loss of the whole kingdom.

build on sand (proverb)
Use an unstable foundation, as in If you buy nothing but high-risk stocks, your portfolio will be built on sand. This metaphor appears in the New Testament, where Jesus likens those who do not heed his sayings to a foolish man who builds his house on sand, which then is washed away by rain, flood, and wind (Matthew 7:24-27). [c. 1600]

Concord – On a beautiful Tuesday morning (June 29, 2010), at picturesque Minuteman Historical Park, and with the legendary Old North Bridge serving as a backdrop, Sandi Martinez, candidate for State Senate from the Third Middlesex District, gave tribute to Americas Veterans.
It was the first of Sandi Martinez's district-wide town-hall forums, and it was focused on veteran's issues. There were several distinguished local veterans in attendance, including Robert Fairbairn, Director of the Public Affairs Coalition of Veterans, Police, Firefighters, & Military Families, and Captain Thomas Hudner, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient.
Mr. Fairbairn, a recipient of three Purple Hearts, spoke passionately about the sacrifices that are born every day by the men and women of our armed forces. He told moving stories of soldiers who have endured unspeakable hardships. "Right now there are young (American) warriors all over the world… who are laying their lives on the line. As a former commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Fairbairn has been an advocate for the protection and mutual interest of all who have received the decoration. Bob said that he supports Sandi because she "represents what it means to be an American". He said that "Sandi needs to be elected so that the people have a voice in the State House"
Tom Hudner, a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor, was introduced by Bob Fairbairn at the gathering, which stood in applause. Tom started his remarks with "I endorse Sandi Martinez for the State Senate!"
"Sandi has distinguished herself as a leader who works tirelessly for the traditional American values. She was one of the first in New England to get involved as a co-founder and leader in the Tea Party movement, which has empowered citizens to find their voices at the polls" said Hudner. "Spurred by the Tea Parties, citizen patriots have sent a loud message to Local, Sate, and Federal government that we do not support government without representation, runaway deficits, runaway taxation, and rampant corruption. The people have said "no" to big government and politics as usual" he said.
Captain Hudner spoke of Martinez's proud family military tradition, stating that "She has a love of country which was instilled in her by her father, an Air Force fighter pilot, who gave his life in service to this great nation, and that proud military tradition has been passed down to her children, one who served eight years in the US Air Force, and two sons who are both Marines, currently on active duty".
Hudner praised Martinez's pledge to make government accountable to the people, and noted that "she is not a divider but a uniter with the experience to unite "we the people" across party lines. "
Captain Hudner concluded that "Sandi's a principled and inspirational leader who I am proud to support and endorse. She'll be a voice for the people, not only in her district, but for the entire state."
Martinez was moved by the endorsements from national heroes who represent America's greatest, Tom Hudner and Tom Fairbairn. "I am proud and honored to accept these endorsements" she said. "It means a lot to me and my family.
She Thanked Tom Hudner and Bob Fairbairn for their service, and applauded all of the veterans for their courageous service to our great nation. She went on to say that "I believe that veterans deserve the very best that we can provide" and she discussed several issues that are unique to veterans.
She pledged to work to ensure that veterans are not discriminated against, and are given appropriate respect. She pointed out that she "will fight for funding for soldiers' homes, and any veterans facility here in the State that provide services to those who gave so much". Massachusetts job opportunities are dismal for veterans and civilians and Martinez said "as your State Senator I have pledged to fight against excessive and overreaching regulations and taxation that is not growing jobs and has resulted in business leaving or not coming to Massachusetts". Martinez is also a strong advocate for ensuring that every veteran has access to the best healthcare available.
A Blue Star Mother, and Veterans VA Volunteer Coordinator from the Blue Star Moms for the Bedford VA Hospital, Martinez concluded her remarks with a call to get involved and to volunteer to help out at the Hospital. As the current group of volunteers gets older, we need the younger folks to step up and to serve those who have served with honor. Volunteering even an hour a month will make a difference in the lives of our veterans. Please contact Sandi for additional information.

We all need a bit of inspiration now and then. When it comes to home décor, nobody can do it like the experts. Although most of us have some ideas on what type of rooms we want, there are many things that are important to be taken care of.
Take the verandah decoration as an example- should it resemble a jungle or be more airy or might we style it up in vintage fashion with a wooden chair and lights? What kind of theme would we like to adopt? Should there be a colour pattern in our house? Home décor isn't just about buying furniture and placing them anywhere in a room. There needs to be elegance added. Your home needs to have a life of its own. Since everything can be done online now- from shopping to communicating, Groove decided to explore the best options out there to make your homes magical with a little advice from the pros:

Hackensack NJ Domestic Violence Attorneys – Have a detention hearing for domestic violence
New Jersey lawmakers recently enacted Criminal Justice Reform, also known as "Bail Reform," which replaced the monetary bail system with a risk assessment system. Under this new bail system, a detention hearing is held within 24 to 48 hours of an arrest, at which time a judge must decide to release a person on their own recognizance, release them subject to certain conditions, or detain the person until their case is resolved. Whereas a person was previously able to post bail and get out of jail pending their trial or plea agreement, this is no longer an option. In other words, if a judge decides to keep you in jail until your case is decided, they can elect to do so. Usually, individuals charged with lesser offenses and non-violent crimes are released after processing at the police station. However, Bail Reform requires anyone arrested for domestic violence in New Jersey to be detained and to have a detention hearing. This applies to even minor domestic violence offenses, such as simple assault, harassment, and criminal mischief.
If you or a loved one has an upcoming detention hearing for a domestic violence offense in New Jersey, it is crucial to have an experienced lawyer fighting for your release. The skilled New Jersey domestic violence attorneys at The Tormey Law Firm have represented countless clients at detention hearings in courts across the state. Call (908)-336-5008 or fill out our online form to arrange a free consultation with a lawyer dedicated to representing your interests.
Detention Hearings in New Jersey Domestic Violence Cases
The general rule under Bail Reform in New Jersey is this: any person accused of a criminal offense involving domestic violence must have a detention hearing. This applies to indictable offenses (also known as felonies) and disorderly persons offenses, often referred to as misdemeanors. Even in a case involving a lower-level domestic violence offense such as simple assault, the defendant is subject to a Public Safety Assessment (PSA) before a judge decides whether or not to release them. In other words, if you are arrested or a warrant is issued for your arrest for domestic violence, you will have to remain in custody for between 24 and 48 hours before having a detention hearing.
Domestic violence charges that require a detention hearing include:
- Simple assault
- Aggravated assault
- Terroristic threats
- Harassment
- Criminal mischief
- Sexual assault
- Burglary
- Criminal restraint
- Any other offense that qualifies as a Predicate Act of Domestic Violence.
At a detention hearing, the judge will decide to detain a defendant if he or she finds that no amount of monetary bail, non-monetary condition or combination of monetary bail and conditions would reasonably assure the defendant:
- Will appear in court when required;
- Is not a threat to the safety of another person or the community; and
- Will not obstruct or attempt to obstruct the criminal justice process.
This is highly complicated in a domestic violence case because the nature of the offense infers that a defendant may be a threat to the alleged victim. Before a detention decision is made, both the prosecutor and the defendant's attorney can present arguments to the judge. These arguments, coupled with the results of the risk assessment, will be considered before the judge decides to detain or release a person accused of domestic violence. You are entitled to have a defense attorney representing you at a domestic violence detention hearing, and it is imperative to have a lawyer with extensive knowledge of domestic violence legal matters in NJ.
Contact a Domestic Violence Detention Hearing Lawyer for Help with Your Case
If you or someone you love is scheduled to appear before a judge for a detention hearing in New Jersey, you need to consult an experienced attorney right away. The outcome of your detention hearing can mean staying in jail for weeks or going home to your family. This is why it is so important to have a seasoned domestic violence defense lawyer arguing on your behalf.
With offices in Hackensack, Morristown, Newark, and Collingswood, our attorneys defend clients at detention hearings in Morris County, Bergen County, Essex County, Passaic County, Camden County, and throughout New Jersey.

Hi everyone!
So once again this post will be divided into two parts because I really didn't see the point of making two separate posts about a similar topic, also if I keep up making so many things about Christmas then it'll stop being a blog about my exchange and it'll become a blog a lot czech Christmas, not that that's a bad thing though, Czech Christmas is pretty great. So jumping right into things, the first part will be about my rotary Christmas meeting that was here in Prague and the second part will be about my class's Christmas party that was of course also in Prague;)
Rotary Christmas meeting
So this meeting was all about Christmas in the Czech Republic, we did a gift exchange, a sweets competition and some other Christmas traditions.
We all arrived at the hotel at around three and we got to our rooms and got organized and everything. This was really easy for me because it was in Prague I didn't have to travel at all, which was kind of nice, but I do with I had gotten a chance to see another Czech or Slovak city. Once everyone was here and we had hung out a bit we all went to dinner at a nearby restaurant, it was really nice to see all my friends again, and I got to talk with many of them during dinner. After dinner we headed back to the hotel for the dreaded language test. I was pretty nervous because I did horribly on my first language test, but that was back in September, almost four months before the time of the test, five months before I'm actually writing this darn blog post though. So the language test was composed of two parts, the written and the speaking. On the written part they basically were checking to see if we knew the basic verb conjugations for the most common verbs and then we had to write ten sentences on our favourite day in the Czech Republic(baking and decorating gingerbread with my family). The speaking test was basically where Mr. Barak, the chairman of rotary your exchange here asked us a bunch of questions, most of them were pretty simple like do you like it here, how is your host family, what's you're favourite czech food and a bunch of other simple questions, there were some harder ones but he only asked the kids that were the best in czech those questions. We got back our results on Saturday(or Sunday? I can't remember), and I got a one on the speaking and a two on the writing. Now Mom and Dad, before you freak out that I failed the test, he czech marking system is different than the one back home, one is the best and five is the worst, so I did fine, no need to worry thank you very much. After the language test we all went to sleep because we were all very tired.
On Saturday we woke up, had breakfast and then left for a walking tour of Prague. We started at the Prague castle, in St. Vitus's cathedral and went down to the bridge and then on to old town square with a stop along the way to the church of baby Jesus. St Vitus' cathedral was so amazing, I had never been in it before and I'm so glad I got the chance now. I wasn't really looking forward to the tour because as I live here I already have learnt a lot about the buildings and the history of lots of things but I did learn a few things, one of which being that before the streets had names and the houses had numbers the way everyone had to address letters was (for example) to the house of the white swan. Which meant that the letter carrier had to find the house with the carving or painting of a white swan above the door and deliver the letter there, it wa so terry interesting and on some houses in the old parts of Prague you can still see the signs above the doorway. After learning about that we walked down the the church of the infant Jesus, it's a church dedicated to the statue of baby Jesus they have inside and they dress him up and it's a really important part of Prague, and it's apparently quite famous around the world too. After that we walked on towards the other side of the river and crossed the Charles bridge, I didn't really like this part because it's always soooooo full of tourists and it's so hard to just walk in a straight line. I've also crossed it a few times and the novelty has worn off, it was still fun to take photos with my friends though, but after the photos I tried to speedwalk across the bridge without much success. After the bridge we walked to the Palladium shopping Center for lunch and shopping. By this time it was about two in the afternoon and we all had had breakfast at seven thirty, so we were all starving. We all had inch in the food court and then lots of people did some shopping, I wasn't really interesting in that because a) I live here and I can go to palladium and any other shopping mall whenever I want to and b) I was exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep and eat, wich I did, well the eating part at least. After palladium we walked over it the old town square and spend time at the Christmas market there. The one in Old town square is the biggest and most impressive in Prague, but that also meant that it was packed with tourists, I walked around a bit but everyone was shoulder to shoulder like sardines and it wasn't very pleasant. I found that the smaller Christmas markets had fewer people and they had s much more enjoyable atmosphere because of that.
Once we were back at the hotel we had dinner and then sang a few carols in czech. This was very fun for everyone, I think all of us inbounds said most of the words incorrectly but it was still a great time and a good laugh. After the carols we had a quick presentation about the travel rules, nothin we hadn't heard before but it was still good to have a refresher.
Once the presentation was done we went back into the main room to try a czech tradition, putting candles in walnuts and floating them on water to tell your future or your fortune. It was fun and apparently I should stick close to my friends this year, which I was planning on doing anyways but it's still nice to get confirmation that my choice is a good one from a walnut;). Once the walnuts were all burnt or sunk we started the gift exchange, the idea was to have it be sort of like a secret Santa but a gift that's suitable for everyone, and then to assign each gift a number and then everyone picks a number from the hat and is given a gift. Overall it worked well, I got a little notebook that has cute owls on it so yay? It was super fun though becassue at the same time as the gift exchange we were also eating Christmas sweets. Some of it was czech and some of it was also from various home countries, but it was all delicious. After all the gifts had been exchanged and the food all eaten, well almost all there was too much to eat so there was some leftovers, we all headed to bed.
The next morning, on Sunday, everyone headed home on the train or on a bus and I headed by tram back home. Overall it was a much nicer trip than a train, for that reason I'm glad the meeting was in Prague instead of some other city.
The whole meeting was amazing and I had a wonderful time talking with everyone!
My class's Christmas party
The Friday before the Christmas break started we had our class Christmas party, it was really fun and I had a great time with my class.
On that Friday school started at 8:45 instead of the normal 8:00, but did I know that nooooo. So I showed up to a completely empty school and I kinda panicked and then I texted my friend who let me know that school was starting later that day, I then checked the school website for my schedule and found out that if I had been smart the night before I would have checked it and found out that it was starting later. So that was a great start to the day, luckily the rest of the day was much better, and my friends and I had a good laugh about me showing up early once school had actually started.
In class we played a bunch of games and just overall hung out and talked. A bunch of people brought assortments of cukrovi(read my previous Christmas posts if you don't know what those are) and I got to try a bunch of different types. They were all really yummy. After a while we did the gift exchange and that was really fun. Here in the Czech Republic it's a bit different because here you buy gifts for all of your friend group(for me that was every girl in my class) instead of just your best friends like in Canada. I like both ways of doing things but I have to say that one is much easier than the other on my wallet.
After the gift exchange we all had lunch and then walked through Prague to a cafe where we had hot chocolate together. I had such a great day with my classmates and I made many great memories. I don't have any photos of the class party but I do have one of the crishtmas tree, sorry there's not more.
So that's everything for this post! I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment down below, I'll do my best to answer it quickly.
i hope you enjoyed this post and check back in the next couple of weeks for another one!
Bye for now,

Hi! I'm Emma, I will be going on a yearlong exchange to the Czech Republic and I'm using this blog to catalogue my experiences during my exchange.

An Overview On Camping Cookwares
Camping is an activity that many people partake in as a means of escaping the hustle and bustle of modern-day society for a night or more. Pulling up at a campsite, or hiking to one with a backpack, begins the process of unpacking the equipment you need to sleep in like a tent or a hammock, setting up your camp chairs or getting out your cooler to find a relaxing beverage of your choice. When all this work is done, you might find that you've worked up quite an appetite and need some grub. You won't find many nearby restaurants at your new weekend home, so you're going to have to make some food for yourself.
Assuming there isn't a functioning kitchen in your campsite, you're going to have to either cook food over an open fire or set up a camp stove or grill that runs off of a fuel like propane or charcoal.
If you were to bring the same pots and pans that you like to cook with at home, you will find yourself fighting with an awkwardly heavy and cumbersome load of camping cookware that will leave you feeling frustrated.
"You need to find cookware that can go through high temperatures over the fire," says travel and outdoors expert Thena Franssen, the brains behind the blog HodgePodge Hippie.
Instead, think of investing in a compact set of camping cookware that is designed with the specific intent of making food at a campsite. Using the right tools for the job will make your camping trip less stressful and give you more time for enjoying nature.
Stainless steel is the most common metal that you will find in your kitchen at home and it is likewise the most common material that you will find camping cookware is made from. Another top pick for camping is cast iron, says Franssen.
Stainless steel offers the benefit of being rustproof, naturally BPA free and also providing an antimicrobial environment that hinders bacterial build-up. This makes the metal ideal for camping cookware sets like the eGrit Backpacking Camping Cook Set, 8-Piece, that boasts a set of pots and a pan along with plates and cups, all made from stainless steel. The stainless steel coloring can change a little bit if you cook directly over a hot fire while some soot can build up to leave a black coating on the pans, but the color change isn't bad for you or the pans and the soot can be washed off with a wet rag or paper towel. Stainless steel is often dishwasher-safe as well, giving you an easy way to thoroughly clean the set of cookware between camping dates.
Efficiently packaged sets of camping cookware stand out in the world of camping cookware. A small package can expand into multiple cooking surfaces and can oftentimes fit the necessary utensils and dishware needed for one or two people.
When you're packing all your gear, it can be overwhelming when things start spilling out of the bag or tote that you're using, but having a full set of cookware packed nicely into a carrying bag makes it that much easier on you when do start the packing process for your next camp outing.
If you're the type that would rather cook all your food on a stick, directly over an open fire, maybe you don't need all the pots and pans that come in some of the more robust camping cookware sets. To accept that someone might not want all the pans but might still want a vessel for a hot coffee in the morning some sets like the Stanley Camp 24oz. Cook Set step up and offer a fantastic package. The fact that the insulated cups fit snugly into the stainless steel vessel mean the entire package is contained within itself. The graduated pot has a collapsing handle and can boil enough water for a couple of hot cups of tea or coffee with little fuss.
As we mentioned earlier, campfire soot can find its way onto your cookware if you choose to cook over the open fire with it. This is not a problem to most, as the soot can be cleaned off, but it still adds an element of cleaning or dealing with the messy soot that some people would rather avoid.
A common way of cooking at a campsite is by the use of a canister of propane or butane that has a small stove attached to the top where you can set your pot or pan. If you like the idea of this clean way of cooking, a cookware set like the Bisgear Camping Cookware, 16-Piece could be perfect for you. The stove is included in the package for an added value, and it expands out to hold the included pots or pans in the set. Utensils are even thrown in to make this package a mostly all-in-one set that won't leave you lacking in much. It will be necessary to supply the fuel canister separately and it's always a good idea to take a backup canister, or two, until you get a really good feel for how much cook-time you can get from one.
DWYM Fun Fact
Camping is a popular activity in the US, with over 77 million Americans spending at least one night camping each year. This large group of campers has helped persuade companies to up their game with campsite gear, leading to an abundance of durable and lightweight products for all those weekend warriors.
The Camping Cookware Buying Guide
- Meal prepping at home is a great way to set yourself up for success at the campsite. Chopping vegetables or portioning spices and meals together can be done easily in the comfort of our home-kitchen, then you can use the prepared foods at your campsite without the fuss.
- Have a plan for washing your camping cookware. Carrying a large tote of water with a spigot can be handy for a lot of people camping near their car and the spout can be cracked open to drizzle water over the dishes that you're cleaning. Another method is to have a bucket of some sort, sometimes they are even collapsible for compact storage, and to head down to a nearby creek to collect water and bring it back to the campsite for dish washing.
- Be wary of local wildlife and the rules regarding them. If you are in bear country, there will be specific steps to take when you're done with your dinner at the end of the night so as to not attract bears to your campsite. Raccoons and other critters can also come hunting for your dirty dishes and food scraps, so read up on proper etiquette and help protect both yourself and the wildlife.

One of the many great things about beer is the flavor variance not only between styles but within styles as well. Obviously a stout and a pilsner will bring very different flavors—at least they should—but two IPAs may offer totally separate profiles, too. That's what Great Divide Brewing Company does with its Denver Pale Ale. While the industry at large trends tropical and hazy, Great Divide sticks with its signature dank and sticky flagship pale ale, leaning into a flavor profile that perfectly captures its Denver roots.
This particular can of Denver Pale Ale features the third unique design in Great Divide's Artist Series. Artist Rachel Jablonski "[framed] a Denver scene—a guy drinking beer in a hammock and looking out at the Denver skyline—it was like with every can, you have a little window into Denver." The beer itself is unfiltered, and it shows on the pour with a slightly cloudy body. Its dull, golden color is capped with a fluffy, soft white head. What turns out to be a very average appearance belies the aroma and flavor punch to come.
Denver Pale Ale provides tons of dank, hoppy aroma. It is resinous and herbaceous, clogging the air over the glass. The fruitiness that is so en vogue in today's hoppy beer plays only a background role in Denver Pale Ale. What fruit is there veers more toward classic grapefruit and orange rind than anything tropical.
Denver Pale Ale is so much about the dank flavors. It's sticky and sweet without a ton of bitterness, staying true to style."
Those sticky, dank and sweet hops define Denver Pale Ale's flavor as well. Hits of biting herb and resin offer even more flavor and light bitterness. That background fruitiness in the aroma sticks around with tastes of berry, grapefruit, and orange, but Denver Pale Ale is so much about the dank flavors. It's sticky and sweet without a ton of bitterness, staying true to style. It's a pleasing drink that unfortunately finishes a little flat.
I love the classic flavor that zigs (dank, resinous) while the whole industry zags (hazy, tropical). Denver Pale Ale is distinctly a Colorado beer, which is exactly what it should be as a flagship for one of the state's biggest brewers. Maybe Great Divide could leave the flavor intact with a slightly cleaner finish to really push this one to another level, but as it stands it is a really solid, old-school, and truly "Denver" pale ale.

You've probably discovered the hard way that the Aussie dollar – let alone Australian shipping addresses – is not accepted in 65 percent of American online stores. However, bargain hunter Melina Byrne has a wonderful way to get around this: ComGateway. It's cheap, secure, and quite simply a dream come true.
Tell me more, you say. Well, ComGateway can help you in several ways. One, it gives an American shipping address. Two, it can purchase products for you, if Australian currency isn't accepted. Three, it saves you money on shipping.
How I wish I'd known about ComGateway when I was planning my wedding a few years ago. I was barred from buying many things, including a vintage Collette Dinnigan wedding dress on eBay.com – which is quite ironic considering Dinnigan is an Australian talent…
Anyway, back to the present and the website that could deliver my latest American lust-have (notJimmy Choo's UGG boots) straight to my door.
How it works
- You simply sign up (for free) and receive an American shipping address.
- You then either enter the web address of the online store you want to shop at, or select from comGateway's shopping directory.
- When purchasing, you can choose one of two options, Buy For Me or Do It Yourself.
Buy For Me: You select this option if the online store won't accept Australian currency. You then enter the product information – size, colour, product code etc, and comGateway will purchase it for you.
You should use the Do it Yourself function if the online store will accept your credit card, but requires a US address. You simply enter your own card details, but use the US address provided by comGateway.
- Once purchased, products are shipped to comGateway in Oregon and then sent to you in Australia.
Added bonus: If you purchase from more than one store, you can combine your shipping. ComGateway will hold items at their Oregon office for 15 days for free, allowing other items to arrive and be sent in one shipment. (I'm lost for words on how great this is!)
Receive discounted shipping:
Not only can you buy from any American online store, but due to comGateway's business relationship with DHL, you'll receive discounted international shipping rates.
For instance:
- If you were to independently send something from the US to Australia using DHL, it would cost $69.55 US (approx. $79.13 AU) for the first 454gms and increase in roughly $10 US (around $11 AU) increments per pound (approx. 453.5gms).
- Using comGateway, it costs $30.50 US (approx $34.50 AU) for the first 500gms, and then increases by $4.10 US (around $4.63 AU) for every following 500gms. A massive saving!
Another added bonus: comGateway also offer a repacking service to lighten the weight (and therefore cost) of your shipment.
Extra services/benefits:
- ComGateway's Promotions page lists current sales and promotions. They also keep tabs on the top 10 shopping sites.
- They also provide shopping and shipping discounts and coupons. (This service keeps getting better and better!)
- Need inspiration? Check out the As Seen In page for purchase suggestions.

The MPC to keeps Repo Rate Unchanged at 5.75 percent
By Vivian Atud
We should expect the South African Reserve Bank to keep the repo rate unchanged – at 5.75% due to the lower trajectory of headline inflation and continued weak state of the economy. This was also the case at the previous MPC meeting. Let me start by introducing my readers to the objectives of monetary policy in South Africa and the MPC. According to the reserve bank the primary objectives of monetary policy is to achieve price stability in the interest of sustainable and balanced economic development and growth. Price stability reduces uncertainty in the economy and, therefore, provides a favourable environment for growth and employment creation. Furthermore, low inflation contributes to the protection of the purchasing power of all South Africans, particularly the poor who have no means of defending themselves against continually rising prices. So why should the bank leave the rates unchanged?
The SA economy still has a moderate inflation outlook and downside risks to economic growth and increasing the repo rate would not be a good decision. The timing of future interest rate increased would depend on the "evolution of inflation expectations, the speed of normalization of monetary policy in the US and the state of the domestic economy".
Keeping interest rates unchanged will probably be a correct decision, given the collapse in the oil price and the slight firming in the trade-weighted rand.
Consumers both households and businesses will continue to enjoy paying unchanged interest rates for their debts thus their disposable income will not be impacted in the short-run. Consumers who are able may want to take this opportunity to pay certain debts faster at lower interest rates before rates go higher maybe later this year. The current repo rates also offer great opportunity for business to extend their loans and expand operations so as to improve production, employment and growth within the economy. Government also has the opportunity to kick start and operationalize some of its infrastructure projects. Ordinary households and businesses are in for greater relief as fuel prices are expected to decrease further in February.
What to keep watching as we look forward to the next MPC Meeting
There are a couple of factors that will inform the banks decision to raise interest rates in the near future. These factors include Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, oil prices, the value of the rand among others.
Looking at GDP, its growth outlook remain subdued, and the risks to its forecast moderate on the downside. According to the bank's forecast, GDP growth in 2014 declined marginally from 1.5% to 1.4% and forecasts for 2015 and 2016 were revised down from 2.8% and 3.1% to 2.5% and 2.9% respectively- they might even be revised further downward in today's MPC meeting. "This restrained outlook were consistent with the Bank's composite leading indicator of economic activity which continues to trend sideways, with a slight upward move as noted in the previous MPC meeting.
Inflation has been positively favoured by the lower oil prices- these are expected to continue in the near future. Headline consumer inflation remained inside the SARB's 3-6% target band and decreased from 5.8% in November to 5.3% in December 2014. Inflation is expected to average 5.3% in 2015 and 5.5% in 2016. Given the reduced oil price, inflation for 2015 may average at 5%.
Food price inflation, which remains a major driver of inflation, is expected to moderate in the coming months, off the back of lower producer prices of crops and cereals.
The domestic petrol prices had declined by a cumulative R2.19 a liter since August 2014. Should current trends continue, a further decline of around R1.1 cents per liter can be expected in February 2015? The price would have even been lower had the weaker rand not wiped away some of the value. Consumption expenditure by households is subdued, but could improve consumers get pay raises and more stable labour negotiations in 2015.
According the SARB, the US and UK remain the main drivers of global growth, although it may it may be decreased by lower oil and food prices – providing some relief to consumers. Looking at the -Eurozone –its outlook has been improved after the zone adopted the quantitative easing policy last week.
The outlook for emerging markets is mixed, "with emerging Asian economies expected to benefit most from the positive spillovers from the US recovery."
This is expected to offset in part the adverse impact of the slowdown in China, where growth is expected to be lower than in the past few years, as the economy rebalances away from investment towards consumption. This moderation is expected to continue to impact negatively on commodity prices." Global inflation is expected to moderate in the face of benign food price inflation and falling international oil and other commodity prices.
South Africa's consumers will continue to enjoy steady interest rate as long as the economic fundamentals both locally and globally remain unchanged. The outlook for economic growth and possible changes in the interest rates during the next MPC remain bleak. Oil prices are weak and are expected to remain low in the short run positively impacting on petrol prices in South Africa which are expected to decrease again by about R1.1 in February 2015. Consumers who can should continue to pay off their debts before further interest rates hikes. Businesses can take advantage of the current interest rates and engage in some expansion projects

Those juiced veggie blends are tastey as fuck and my juicer has gotten my 3 year old to love vegetables, not only as juice but whole as well. I pull the chair up to the counter and he throws them in and gets excited as it grinds them up. I get what you're saying but jesus, if you had a 3 year old and a juicer, you'd understand.
