What is being done to promote delivery system integration and care coordination?
Approaches to improving integration and care coordination include the Practice Incentives Program (PIP), which provides a financial incentive to providers for the development of care plans for patients with certain conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, and mental health needs. The Primary Health Networks (PHNs) were established in July 2015 with the objective of improving coordinated care, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of care, for those at risk of poor health outcomes. These networks are funded through grants from the federal government and will work directly with primary care providers, health care specialists, and Local Hospital Networks (LHNs). Care also may be coordinated by Aboriginal health and community health services.
Provinces and territories have introduced several initiatives to improve integration and coordination of care for chronically ill patients with complex needs. These include Divisions of Family Practice (British Columbia), the Regulated Health Professions Network (Nova Scotia), and Health Links (Ontario). Also, Ontario has long-standing alternative community-based and multidisciplinary primary care models including Community Health Centres and Aboriginal Health Access Centres. Also in Ontario, a pilot program that bundles payments across different providers is being expanded (from one to six communities) to improve coordination of care for patients as they transition from hospital to the community.
Each province determines its own structure for the coordination of health and social care services. In Ontario and Quebec, there is a single ministry responsible for health care that includes long-term and social care, with funding devolving to the regional level.
Care coordination is an issue, particularly in light of a projected lack of health professionals in the future and the need to improve efficiency to increase capacity. The task force Dialogue on National Health Policy discusses existing and new approaches to care. The national Health2020 strategy includes a comprehensive projection of the priorities of health care policy until the year 2020. The strategy also addresses care coordination, stating that integrated health care models need to be supported in all areas. The Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) works on implementing concrete measures to confront these challenges.
Strategies and networks tackling emerging areas of importance, like palliative care, dementia, and mental health, have been created to improve coordination. They start at the conceptual level and design pilot projects, aiming at the practical level to encourage different types of health professionals to work together. The National Health Report 2015 discusses the growing number of case management programs for chronically ill patients, but pooled funding streams do not yet exist. It is also worth noting the efforts in the area of e-health, which should considerably improve care coordination.
Medical alliances are regional hospital groups, often including one tertiary hospital and several secondary hospitals and primary care facilities, that provide access to primary care facilities for patients with minor health issues. The aim is to reduce the need for people to visit tertiary hospitals. At the same time, patients with serious health problems can be referred to tertiary hospitals easily and moved back to primary care facilities after their condition improves. It is hoped that this type of care coordination will meet the demand for chronic disease care, improve health care quality, and contain rising costs. The hospitals within a medical alliance share a common electronic health record system, and results of labs, images, and diagnoses are easily available within the alliance.
There are three main medical alliance models. Hospitals in the Zhenjiang model have only one owner (usually the local bureau of health). Those in the Wuhan model do not belong to the same owner, but administration and finances are all handled by one tertiary hospital. Hospitals in the Shanghai model share management and technical skills only; ownership and financial responsibility are separate.
Current mandatory health agreements between the municipalities and regions on coordination of care address a number of topics related to admission and discharge from hospitals, rehabilitation, prevention, psychiatric care, information technology (IT) support systems, and formal progress targets. Agreements are formalized for municipal and regional councils at least once per four-year election term, generally take the form of shared standards for action in different phases of a patient's journey within the system, and must be approved by the Danish Health Authority. The agreements are partially supported by IT systems with information that is shared among caregivers. The degree to which the regions and municipalities succeed in reaching the goals is measured by national indicators published online.
Regions and municipalities have implemented various measures to promote care integration. Examples include the use of outreach teams from hospitals doing follow-up home visits; training programs for nursing and care staff; the establishment of municipal units located within hospitals to facilitate communication, particularly in regard to discharge; and the use of "general practitioner practice coordinators." Many coordination initiatives place an emphasis on people with chronic care needs, multimorbidity, or frailty resulting from aging or mental health conditions. The municipalities are in charge of a range of services, including social care, elder care, and employment services; most are currently working on models for better integration of these services, such as through joint administration with shared budgets and formalized communication procedures.
Practices increasingly employ specialized nurses, and several municipalities and regions have set up joint multispecialty facilities, commonly called "health houses." Models vary, but often include general practitioners (GPs), practicing specialists, and physiotherapists, among others. GPs in medical homes are encouraged to function as coordinators of care for patients and to develop a comprehensive view of their patients' individual needs in terms of prevention and care. This principle is supported by the general national-level agreements between GPs and regions. GPs participate in various formal and informal network structures and are included in the health service agreements made between regions and municipalities to facilitate cooperation and improve patient pathways. All GPs use electronic information systems as a conduit for discharge letters, electronic referrals, and prescriptions.
Many efforts to improve care coordination have been implemented; for example, sickness funds offer integrated-care contracts and disease management programs (DMPs) for chronic illnesses to improve care for chronically ill patients and to improve coordination among providers in the ambulatory sector. In December 2015, 9,966 registered DMPs for six indications had enrolled about 6.6 million patients (more than 8% of all the statutory health insurance [SHI]-insured). There is no pooling of funding streams by the health and social care sectors.
As of 2016, the Innovation Fund promotes new forms of cross-sectoral and integrated care (also for vulnerable groups) supported by annual funding of EUR300 million, or USD382 million (including EUR75 million, or USD95 million, for evaluation and health services research). Funds are awarded through an application process overseen by the Innovation Committee, based at the Federal Joint Committee.
Inadequate coordination in the health care system remains a problem. Various quality-related initiatives piloted by the health ministry or by regional agencies aim to improve the coordination of hospital, out-of-hospital, and social care (see above). They target the elderly and fragile populations and attempt to streamline the health care pathway, integrating providers of health and social care via a shared portal and case managers.
GPs increasingly work in multipartner practices that employ nurses and other clinical staff, who carry out much of the routine monitoring of patients with long-term conditions. These practices also have some of the features of a medical home—that is, they direct patients to specialists in hospitals or to community-based professionals, like dietitians and community nurses, and hold treatment records of their patients. GPs are responsible for care coordination as part of their overall contract; to improve coordination for older patients, the latest version of the contract (2014–2015) requires practices to have a "named accountable GP" for all patients over age 75. GPs also have financial incentives to provide continuous monitoring of patients with the most common chronic conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
The 2012 Act charged National Health Service (NHS) England, Monitor, and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) with promoting integrated care, i.e., closer links between hospital- and community-based health services, including primary and social care. The health and well-being boards within local authorities are intended to promote integration between NHS and local authority services, particularly at the intersection of hospital and social care.
Practical initiatives include the Better Care Fund (GBP3.9 billion, or USD5.6 billion), pooled from existing health and social care budgets, for integration projects by local health and social care commissioners starting in 2015–2016. These funds are being used to improve the discharge process for hospital patients, reduce reliance on long-term care, and improve access to out-of-hospital care.
Patient care continues to be fragmented in India. There has been very little effort made to redesign how care is delivered or to promote patient-centered care. Likewise, health coverage models are fragmented, with patients given limited choice across packages.
The health plans, which are both insurers and providers, are essentially the sole source of primary care and the main source of specialty care. This structural integration of services provides a foundation for the provision of relatively seamless care for all the insured, including complex and chronically ill patients. The plans' health information systems link primary and specialty care providers, and a new national health information exchange is linking the health plans and the hospitals. These systems are increasingly providing access to electronic medical information at the point of care.
In addition, the health plans have put forth several targeted management programs that aim to provide comprehensive integrated care for complex patients with chronic conditions. These make extensive use of the plans' sophisticated information systems, videoconferencing, and other innovative techniques.
Generally speaking, there is still only limited integration among the various components of the long-term care system and between long-term care and other components of the health care system. However, integration may be expanded in the future if long-term care becomes a responsibility of the health plans.
Integration of health and social care services has recently improved, with a significant shift of long-term care from institutions to the communities and an emphasis on home care. Community home care establishes a home care network that integrates the competencies of nurses, general practitioners (GPs), and specialist physicians with the needs and involvement of the family. GPs oversee the home care network, liaise with social workers and other sectors of care, and take responsibility for patient outcomes.
The regions have chronic care management programs, dealing mainly with high-prevalence conditions such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, and respiratory conditions. All programs involve different competencies. Some regions are also trying to set up disease management programs based on the chronic care model, although the degree of organization varies across regions.
The most recent Pact for Health, signed in July 2014, is a significant step toward care integration (see below): all regions must establish Primary Care Complex Units (Unità Complesse di Cure Primarie) involving GPs, specialists, nurses, and social workers.
Given that, traditionally, Italian GPs work in solo practice, shifting to this new organizational arrangement will require considerable effort. To further promote integration and adoption of multidisciplinary teams, medical homes are being encouraged in some regions, such as Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, where there are collectively 81 medical homes currently providing multispecialty care to approximately 1.7 million people.
National government prioritizes care coordination and develops financial incentives for providers, particularly in cancer, stroke, cardiac, and palliative care. For example, hospitals admitting stroke victims or patients with hip fractures can receive additional fees if they use post-discharge protocols and have contracts with clinic physicians to provide effective follow-up care after discharge (the clinic physicians also receive additional fees). The government also provides subsidies to leading providers in the community to facilitate care coordination. Highly specialized large-scale hospitals with 500 beds or more have an obligation to promote care coordination between providers in the community, as well as to charge additional fees to patients who have no referral for outpatient consultations.
There are more than 4,000 "community comprehensive support centers" to coordinate services, particularly for those with long-term conditions. Funded by the long-term care insurance (LTCI), they employ care managers, social workers, and long-term care support specialists. Currently, there is no pooled funding between the Statutory Health Insurance System (SHIS) and the LTCI.
Regional and large-city governments are required to establish councils to promote integration of care and support for patients with 306 designated long-term diseases.
A bundled-payment approach to integrated chronic care is applied nationwide for diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cardiovascular risk management. Under this system, insurers pay a single fee to a principal contracting entity—the care group—to cover a full range of chronic disease services for a fixed period. The bundled-payment approach supersedes traditional health care purchasing for the condition and divides the market into two segments—one in which health insurers contract care from care groups, and another in which care groups contract services from individual providers, each with freely negotiable fees. To head off potential additional coordination problems and better reach vulnerable populations, the role of district nurses is currently being strengthened.
The care coordination reform of 2012 put more emphasis on municipalities' responsibility for 24-hour and post-discharge care, including individual treatment plans for patients with chronic diseases. Hospitals and municipalities must establish formal agreements on the care of patients with complex needs.
For hospitals, incentives for care coordination are provided by mandatory agreements with municipalities. Financing remains poorly aligned between the hospitals, which are state-funded, and primary care, which is municipality-funded. The municipalities are fined per day for patients who stay in hospitals after they are ready for discharge.
New Zealand
District-level alliances (partnerships between district health boards (DHBs) and primary health organizations (PHOs)) are driving stronger system integration by changing service models. While alliance performance varies, the leaders have multiple members, including, but not limited to, DHB, PHO, pharmacy, ambulance, district nursing, allied health, local government, and Maori providers. District alliances are developing services based on locality-specific needs. Some alliances have begun to form partnerships with local social agencies.
The primary care sector has begun exploring for the most appropriate model of general practice and enhanced primary care that will meet future demand. The "health care home" model is being implemented in several districts, with support and resourcing shared between DHBs and PHOs.
While DHBs are held accountable for driving integration through their annual plans, variability still exists. There is an ongoing effort to drive improvement by other means, including new funding models and contracting for outcomes.
Four system-level performance measures were implemented in 2016. These assess performance at the system level, and success is dependent on the contributions of individual providers or organizations. This reliance on multiple contributions drives the integration of services and providers and requires an effective alliance.
Singapore's Agency for Integrated Care was created in 2009 to bring about a patient-focused integration of primary care with intermediate- and long-term care. The agency, which operates at the patient, provider, and system levels, advises patients and families on appropriate health care services and helps them navigate the health system. A primary focus is follow-up treatment for chronic-disease patients after discharge from the hospital. Another is the expansion and improvement of health care capabilities at the community level. Currently, all six public hospital clusters in Singapore are undergoing a systemwide transformation to a regional health care system model to better integrate all care services. Hospitals will work closely with other providers in their region, such as community hospitals, nursing homes, general practitioners, and home care providers.
Another significant role for the Agency for Integrated Care is that of ensuring integration of health and social services for elderly and disabled populations. The agency coordinates and facilitates placement of individuals with nursing homes, community providers, day rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities; facilitates treatment at home by managing referral of patients to home care services; and assists people with applying for available financial assistance.
The division of responsibilities between county councils (for medical treatment) and municipalities (for nursing and rehabilitation) requires coordination. Efforts to improve collaboration and develop more integrated and accessible services are supported by targeted government grants. In 2005, the "0–7–90–90 rule" was introduced to improve and ensure the equality of access across the country, namely: instant contact (zero delay) with the health system for advice; seeing a general practitioner within seven days; seeing a specialist within 90 days; and waiting no more than 90 days to receive treatment after being diagnosed. Between 2008 and 2014, county councils where 70 percent of all patients received care within the stipulated times were eligible for the grant targeted at accessibility.
Since 2015, the targeted grants have focused more on care coordination; they support action plans for improving coordination and collaboration at the county council level. At the provider level, performance-related payment is commonly linked to quality targets related to care coordination and compliance with evidence-based clinical guidelines, particularly for care provided to elderly patients with multiple diagnoses.
Improved delivery system integration and care coordination have been on the National Health Insurance Administration's (NHIA) agenda for many years. Many such initiatives are discussed earlier in this profile.
United States
Government agencies and private insurance companies are leading efforts to move away from the current specialist-focused health system to a system founded on primary care. In particular, the "patient-centered medical home" model, with its emphasis on care continuity and coordination, has aroused interest among U.S. experts and policymakers as a means of strengthening primary care and linking medical services more closely to community services and supports.
Another trend is the proliferation of accountable care organizations (ACOs), networks of providers that assume contractual responsibility for providing a defined population with care that meets quality targets. Providers in ACOs share in the savings that constitute the difference between forecasted and actual health care spending. More than 800 ACOs have been launched by public programs and private insurers, and more than 28 million Americans are enrolled in one. Two Medicare-driven ACO programs have been rolled out—the Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Pioneer ACO Program, which together encompass more than 470 ACOs servicing 17 percent of the Medicare population, or 8.9 million Americans. Patients have reported better care experiences, quality measures have generally improved for the tracked indicators, and there have been modest cost savings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has unveiled the new Next Generation ACO program for experienced, high-performing ACOs.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private purchasers, including employer groups, are also experimenting with new payment incentives that reward higher-quality, more efficient care. One strategy is "bundled payments," whereby a single payment is made for all the services delivered by multiple providers for a single episode of care. About 7,000 hospitals, physician organizations, and postacute care providers participate in bundled payment initiatives.
In addition, CMS has supported the development of local programs that aim to better integrate health and social services. Medicaid ACOs are also implementing programs to integrate primary care and behavioral health services. Some ACOs are not only trying to integrate clinical and social services, but also are exploring innovative financing models, such as cross-sectoral shared-savings models.

Dancing and Singing For The Orishas 2016
Three workshops on song and dance from the Afro - Cuban Orisha tradition of Santeria. Daniela De Armas,leader of The London Lucumi Choir taught songs for two Orishas each month, accompanied by the live bata drums of The Axis Trio. Dances for those Orishas were taught by a different professional Cuban folkloric dancer each month, accompanied by live singing and drumming. The aim was to experience the link between the song,the dance and the drum in this genre. Participants could learn just the singing, just the dancing or both.
Here is a link to the Facebook event:
10th January 2016
14th February 2016
13th March 2016
Singing: 1.30pm - 3.00pm Singing for Dancers until 4.30pm
Dance: 3.00pm - 4.30pm
The New Art Exchange
39 - 41 Gregory Blvd,
Singing for the Orishas is at the heart of many Cuban musical traditions. The percussive accompaniment of these songs in all its forms is at the root of much popular Cuban music from Rumba to Salsa to Timba. The songs are beautifully melodic, rhythmic and uplifting.
10th January - This Dance session was taught by Cuban folkloric dancer, Alicia Bueno Atie. Alicia danced for 25 years with Raices Profundas Folkloric dance company Directed by Juan de Dios Ramos, one of the most famous folkloric performers / teachers in Cuba, with whom she performed throughout Cuba and internationally.
CHANGE OF TEACHER FOR 14th FEB:
Lazaro Lopez was unavailable for the class on 14th Februrary so we were very fortunate to work with Etian Antuche Almeida.
Born in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba, Etian Antuche Almeida is a graduate of the internationally acclaimed Escuela Nacional de Arte (ENA) in Havana. Etian has worked as a choreographer with the Folkloric Dance Company of Pinar Del Rio and as a teacher with the Compania de Danza Contemporanea of Pinar Del Rio. Now based in the UK, Etian is one of the most talented and versatile dancers from Cuba. He gives one hundred percent at whatever task he has in mind, whether it i Cuban Popular dance, contemporary or folkloric. he will bring body movement, attention to detail and years of training and expertise to this Orisha dance Class.
Etian taught steps for Ogun and also the movement of Chacha lokefun which are important steps for all Orisha dance. His focus will be on movement, connecting with the drums and general body care while dancing. For video of Etian's class click here.

Our bank was founded by Isle of Man residents in 1865 to provide much-needed banking services to the communities in which they lived and worked. It was intended from the outset as a strong island bank for island people.
The need for a new bank
The bank's foundation was rooted in the banking crisis of 1857 during which both of the Isle of Man's banks – Bank of Mona (est.1849) and Dumbell & Howard (est.1853) – stopped payment. The island's residents were shocked by the vulnerability of its existing banks and discussions were held about the wisdom of establishing a new and safer bank. The supporters of this idea realised that a better bank had to be founded on limited liability principles, so that shareholders could not be held responsible for the company's debts beyond the value of the shares they owned.
The bank's promoters
Unfortunately the Isle of Man did not yet have a law which allowed the establishment of limited liability companies, but those that supported the idea of a new bank were determined to push through the necessary legislation. In 1862 the British parliament passed an Act allowing limited liability. William Callister, a member of the House of Keys, and Mark Hildersley Quayle, previous acting governor, influenced the island's new governor, Henry Loch, to follow its example and introduce legislation in 1864 which would also allow the formation of limited liability companies on the Isle of Man.
Callister did not wait for the new law to be passed. Instead, on 27 January 1865, he presided over a meeting with four other would-be bank promoters – Mark Hildersley Quayle, William Moore, Henry Noble and Samuel Harris – held at lawyer Harris's Douglas offices. There it was agreed 'that the meeting is of opinion that it is desirable forthwith to establish an Insular Bank with limited liability' and 'that such bank be called the Isle of Man Banking Company Ltd.' Additionally the five men decided that the company would have a capital of ۲120,000, divided into 12,000 shares, a head office in Douglas and branches in a number of towns across the island.
New legislation
The new company law had, however, met with strong opposition in the House of Keys and for a while it seemed the measure might be defeated. Undaunted, Quayle wrote to the other promoters suggesting that the new bank was instead established in Liverpool under the English Act until Manx legislation was passed. In the event this did not prove necessary. By May it was clear that a slightly amended bill would certainly be passed by the Manx legislature. The new Isle of Man Companies' Act finally became law on Tynwald Day, 5 July 1865.
Setting up a bank
Meanwhile, the promoters had been busy making preparations to set up their new bank. There was much to be done. A provisional committee was formed, articles of association prepared and a prospectus issued inviting applications for shares that would be allotted as soon as the limited liability act was passed and the company incorporated. One of the promoters, Samuel Harris, offered a home for the new bank in property he owned on Athol Street.
The share issue for the proposed bank was quickly oversubscribed. The 227 subscribers who were fortunate enough to be allocated shares were mostly local people who supported the idea of an island bank; men and women of standing and influence, landowners, farmers, trades people, businessmen, clergy, ship owners, doctors and lawyers. On 11 August 1865 Callister wrote to a fellow promoter: 'There never was such a body of shareholders, connected with the Isle of Man, united together before'. The subscription list, published in local newspapers, did much to increase local confidence in the new bank.
Final preparations
The promoters realised the issue of banknotes would also be crucial to the new bank's success. Not only was note issue profitable, but the circulation of notes across the island would act as a fine advertisement and increase awareness of the new bank. The design of the notes, featuring a view of Douglas harbour and the triune, was carefully considered and the printing of 30,000 notes was ordered.
In August advertisements were placed in newspapers as far afield as Manchester, Edinburgh and Carlisle to attract a professional manager to run the new bank. In the event a Douglas man, John Karran, was selected. Later a cashier, ledger keeper and three clerks were also appointed.
Meanwhile, true to the original intention of opening branch offices to serve communities across the island, arrangements were made to open branches in Ramsey, Castletown and Peel by appointing agents and identifying suitable premises.
Registering the company
On 26 October 1865 Isle of Man Banking Co was finally registered as a limited company under the new Manx Companies Act. John Karran, its new manager, hurried to the very first meeting of the bank's board on that same day, clutching a copy of the just-issued certificate of incorporation. The bank was in fact the very first company to be recorded on the island's register of limited companies and still retains that original certificate of incorporation. William Callister, who had played such a prominent role in the bank's foundation, became the bank's first chairman, and held that position for the next 7 years.
Open for business
On 1 November 1865 we opened our doors for the first time and served our very first customers. The bank's arrival had been eagerly awaited and on the opening day alone we received deposits of ۲3,000 (worth over ۲250,000 today) from islanders opening bank accounts with us. Thereafter our bank went from strength to strength.
So it was that the vision and determination of just a handful of Victorian Manxmen created an enduring banking institution that has become so important a part of Isle of Man life.

We have always thought of Waco as a fast food stop on I-35 on our way to or from Dallas or Austin. We knew it was home to the Branch Dividians, Baylor University, and President Bush's Ranch, but when we spent a weekend in Waco we found it was much more than a local gas and fast food stop. So here are Texas Outside's ideas for a fun and Wild Waco Weekend.
Load up the bikes or walking/jogging/hiking shoes and head to Waco - you're going to help lower our dependence on oil and save some gas money by parking the car and enjoying Waco by bike or walking all weekend - quite gripping, walking and riding is good for you, so get with it!
Here's the plan for Friday:
Get up! It's Saturday, a beautiful day and there is lots more to do. Grab a cup of coffee or breakfast and lets get going. After all that partying, its time to get some exercise to clear the head and loose some calories - so put on the shoes of choice or jump on the bike and:
Saturday night try dinner at Buzzard Billies (burgers, pasta, steak, or Cajun seafood) or Ninfas for good Mexican - both are across the street from the Hilton. After a good diner, it's time for more of the same fun you had on Friday night or you can bike/walk over to Waco Hippodrome or the Baylor University Theatre for a little culture before you hit the clubs.
If you still have some energy and want to keep going on Sunday, then rent a canoe or kayak and explore the Brazos or Bosque River, ride the trails again, or play disc golf, horseshoes, or fish at Cameron Park. If you need to slow down a little, then take an easy bike or walk over to:
Have fun. You can learn more about Waco by going to the Discover Texas Section of Texas Outside and just click here.

It is strategically located beside of major roadway between Denpasar to Singaraja. It is set on the land which is surrounded by the big fish pond and look like a drift on the water. It owns the beautiful temple building with multistoried roof and Balinese Architecture. The wide beautiful landscape garden in front courtyard to welcome all visitors who come and visit this temple. It is a beautiful place to visit on your vacation in Bali.
Luwus is the name of the village whose height around a thousand meters above sea level so good level for coffee plantation. The village is famous for coffee plantation, cacao plantation, tropical fruit and also very popular for the civet cat coffee.
Considered the finest coffee in the world, civit cat coffee / luwak coffee is made from the civit cat eating the coffee berries, pooping them out and then people wash off the beans and roast them. Taken at a coffee plantation in Bali, Indonesia.
Bali Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is a favorite tourist destination in Bali famous with the beautiful rice terrace unfolding from the foot of mountain until the coastal side. It is one of places to visit in Bali with the beautiful view as according to its name from Jati and luwih, where Jati mean really and Luwih meaning especial, good, and beautiful or the equivalent. The local paddies are planted in this place look typically of the high relative size plant if it is compared with other pre-eminent paddy planted by most farmers in Bali . Despitefully, Jatiluwih also famous with its organic agriculture system due to the location is located in the in the plateau of Watukaru Mount which is suitable for the agriculture development.

The greenmarket recently is dramatically different from what it was just a few short months ago. There is a ton of squash, meaty-looking greens, root vegetables and pumpkins of many varieties. One of the best parts about the transition from summer into fall, for me, are Brussels sprouts. When I was in high school, my dad used to make me roasted Brussels sprouts for lunch and pack them up for me in a little Tupperware container. I would open them in the cafeteria with my friends, and let's just say, those cold roasted Brussels didn't smell too great, especially to a bunch of high schoolers. I was completely ridiculed to the point where I asked my dad not to pack them in my lunch for me anymore. But I still really did love those Brussels and still do, to this day.
Brussels sprouts sautéed in oil and butter is, for me, the most delicious way to eat them, with a little bit of salt. Roasted vegetables in the fall are warming, healthy and fresh, and these three are the best combination I can think of.
(Makes a bunch of vegetables to be skewered)
½ head cauliflower
2 carrots
½ lb Brussels sprouts
Olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper
Garlic cloves, smashed
- To roast the cauliflower, separate it into florets and coat with olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Mix with smashed garlic cloves and lay out on a sheet pan lined with foil. Roast at 425° until softened and browned, about 30 minutes.
- For the glazed carrots, cut carrots to desired size and shape. Melt butter in a pan and add the carrots. Sweat out carrots for a minute or two, then add honey and let the honey caramelize lightly. Deglaze with red wine vinegar and add a little vegetable stock or water to finish the cooking process, if needed.
- For the Brussels sprouts, quarter Brussels and trim bottoms, removing any browned leaves. Heat oil in a sauté pan and add Brussels when oil is nearly smoking. Season well with salt and pepper, and toss in the pan until Brussels have browned. Finish with butter.
- For the bite, skewer the three vegetables together and serve warm.

There is sometimes a feeling with tech support professionals that their expertise and hard work are under-valued, under-estimated or simply ignored by the very clients they are so desperate to help.
We wanted to find out if this was really how ICT support really feel about their work and their relationships with their clients – so we asked tech support professionals around the world to share their stories and to let us know how they feel about their roles as The Heroes of ICT.
"My Laptop have been hit by a car could you help?"
And this wasn't even the craziest story (by a long way!)
ICT Expertise Misunderstood or Simply Mis-used?
One of the ICT heroes we interviewed provided us with a story which perfectly highlighted how some clients will get the support they need, but rather than thanking the support professional will question the value of their expert services:
Them "Did you just Google that"
Me "Yes – it was the quickest way to find out what the error code was telling us"
Them "Well I could've done that, what exactly are we paying you for…"
long silence then…
Them "hang on, what's a driver got to do with computers"
In fact, we came across story after story which demonstrated that clients also log a large number of calls for problems that they could have resolved themselves:
"My manager called me over in a panic that his monitor wasn't working. I shot over and began looking at the cables round the back. It was dark, so I asked him if I could switch the lights on and he said "They're not working either!". It was at this stage I passed the job over to our electrician!"
"I had a support call logged asking me which button they needed to press to turn the computer back on, turned out it was a laptop and they'd taken the battery out"
So, if you're ever having a bad day or dealing with a difficult customer, we want you to understand that we appreciate your expertise and value the hard work of The Heroes of ICT everywhere. Which is why we have compiled this original research survey to show you that you are not alone and that there are other heroes just like you!

Colombo often gets overlooked by visitors for Sri Lanka's beaches further south and hilly tea estates up north. Yet, since the end of the civil war in 2009, the capital's been gearing up for tourists. Whether it's walking back in time through the columns of Victorian architecture or shimmying at Colombo's many beneath-the-stars bars at night, the right planning means you can pack in hipster surf shacks and even tour architect Geoffrey Bawa's fantastical garden home, in one of the few places in the world where the Indian rupee is stronger than the local currency.
Arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport and ignore the taxi counter sales pitches, opting instead for a hybrid Kangaroo Cab (LKR 2,000) that'll get you into the city via the smooth Southern Expressway (LKR 250). Check into the recently opened Jetwing Colombo Seven hotel (LKR 21,000/night) with its city-panoramic infinity pool and cosy bar on the 13th floor. For a hotel in the heart of tony Colombo, with most of the fripperies you'd expect of a pricier city hotel, you're already winning compared to the usual budget places.
Line your stomach with the platter of lamb, calamari and chicken bites (LKR 2,860) and indulge in some G&Ts (LKR 1,300), featuring Sri Lanka's own spice-infused dry gin, made in London. Helpfully, the gin's also named Colombo No 7, so whether you're instructing your taxi driver or your bartender through the evening, you can't go wrong.
Seal your introduction to the city's nightlife by taking an Uber (LKR 120) to 41 Sugar, where the bartenders know that mixology isn't a pseudo-science of love song playlists and can smoke an Old Fashioned (LKR 1,750) for some added drama. A soul or jazz band usually keeps the Bieber tracks at bay, at least until the wee hours. For tiny hunger pangs, the black pork lunu miris (LKR 1,250) and sweet and spicy calamari rings (LKR 1,000) will introduce you to the world of the Sri Lankan "short eat". For major cravings, the pork spare ribs with mash and slaw (LKR 2,000) will induce the perfect first night's sleep.
Only ten minutes away by cab (LKR 240) on the weekend, laugh in the face of hangover infirmity at the Mario Bros-inspired OneUp All Day Breakfast, run by a couple of Aussies who know what they're doing. Follow up its monstrous Flight of the Conchords sandwich (LKR 1,700) with Margot Robbie for dessert (LKR 1,500) – because who doesn't want that?
Then, zip along to the Fort and Pettah districts via the Dutch Hospital (LKR 280). Take in their edificial architecture by walking in and around banks, the old General Post Office and public buildings that twin with Mumbai's Ballard Estate. Wander over to the Old Town Hall for its rusty and industrial Edwardian-era machinery outside, and its wormhole to colonial Ceylon inside, where spooky wooden mannequins pay homage to the first council meeting ever held in the city. If you're charming (LKR 500), the attendants will let you into some of the antiquated and usually closed-off chambers, and show you how the multipurpose screen windows transform.
If you still crave Colombo culture, trishaw (the most gentrified word for an autorickshaw) it over to the Rio Cinema in Slave Island (LKR 100). The building, its scarred walls and gutted interiors marking the riots of 1983 that catalysed the country's road to civil war, is now a Berlin-esque venue for raves and art shows. Next, trishaw it over (LKR 100) to Saskia Fernando Gallery for contemporary Sri Lankan art prints, and PR below it for island chic jewellery, clothes and handmade shades for your significant other.
Then, schlep it over to Mount Lavinia (LKR 400). Watch the sun make nice with the horizon at the beachside La Voile Blanche, with a few Lion brews (LKR 570) or arrack mojito cocktails (LKR 1,030) and customary hot butter cuttlefish (LKR 1,000) for company. The grilled seerfish also makes for a good early dinner option (LKR 2,300).
If your dancing shoes come calling, make your way back to town (LKR 600), scrub up and head to The Kingsbury's rooftop bar for a view of the snaking city lights and the sand-spitting machines reclaiming what will be Colombo Port City below. After a couple of sharpeners (LKR 1,000) head to the hippest little street in Colombo (LKR 180), Park Street Mews, where Café Francais sends out francophonic chill sounds into the night. Grab a cab to Re.Pub.Lk (LKR 140) to finish off your evening with ear-busting beats. If you need that post-club food fix, trishaw (LKR 200) it over to Hotel de Pilawoos, near Vajira Road, for a crispy, spicy and soul-assuaging chicken and cheese roti roll (LKR 600).
Sleep off your hangover in a cab that you hire for the day (LKR 8,000), and head to Hikkaduwa beach, to Salty Swamis. These east-coast surf-rastas of Arugam Bay's Hideaway Resort fame serve up delicious pork belly and poached egg on a corn miso puree (LKR 1,000), and any brew made from the locally sourced and deliciously roasted Soul Coffee (LKR 500). Check out the Swamis' mad upcycled bags and surfboards at the adjoining store, before paddling in the ocean till the sun hits the two o'clock mark.
Then, head along the coast to boutique hotel haven, Bentota, to bask in 15 acres of Sri Lankan "starchitecture". Geoffrey Bawa's personal garden paradise home at Lunuganga (LKR 1,000) is a treasure trove of contours, ponds, rock walls and old-world lodgings.
Race back to Colombo for your flight out of town and use those two hours to design that beach house you're going to build when you come back.
Andhra Pradesh might just get India's first Hyperloop
This job interview requires you to do just two things: Drink whiskey and travel the world

6 DC Superhero Games That Rocksteady Should Work On Next
Finally, at long last, I've played and beaten Batman: Arkham Knight. I made the decision to abandon video game consoles with the new generation and focus all my attention on PC and Steam…only for Arkham Knight to receive a PC adaptation that was so bad that Warner Bros. took it off the shelves and offered everyone a full refund, no questions asked. That's about as bad as things can get.
But then I went and splurged on a new, high-end computer last Fall. And when I decided to take the plunge a few weeks ago and see how Arkham Knight held up on my machine, the game ran perfectly. You couldn't even tell there'd ever been a problem.
So for the past few weeks, I've been kicking bad guy butt, hunting down the Scarecrow, and finally living that great, glorious dream that all my console friends had already experienced. I enjoyed the game well enough. The story wasn't the best and I felt too many parts were 'on rails', where the game just pointed you in the direction they wanted and gave you the button prompt to enact the next little thing they put in front of you. And there were far too many gadgets and combos to keep track of in the otherwise stellar fighting sequences.
But overall, I enjoyed the game, like I've enjoyed all the Arkham series. Those games could very well be the high water mark of all superhero games. Now, Arkham developer Rocksteady is done with Batman, so they say, which means they're free to move on to a new franchise.
And surely Rocksteady and DC aren't about to give up on superhero games just yet!
6. Robin
I'm only human, people. As many readers know, I'm a huge Robin fan, and I loved what little bits we got from the Boy Wonder in the Arkham games (and was furious that he didn't appear at all in Arkham Asylum). Robin (all Robins, actually) had an expanded role in Arkham Knight, and I loved it! So for Rocksteady's next game, why not make one about Robin? Why not continue the story and figure out how Tim Drake moves on from Batman's legacy. Does he take up the cowl himself? Does he turn Robin into Gotham's new protector? If all the criminals know that Batman is gone and exposed, surely someone's going to attack the city hard. All the game mechanics and designs could stay relatively the same. You'd just make Robin the star…which, yeah, I know…I'm gasping at straws here. There's no way this will happen.
But I want it to, so very very badly…
5. Superman
Superman is an obvious choice for Rocksteady's next follow up. Just like Batman, Supes has a history of bad games in his repertoire. And just like the Arkham games did for Batman, Superman could stand to have something huge and awesome backing him up these days. The Arkham games have spun off into comics and toys and so much more. Superman could use that push. He could use that increased profile. Let Superman be the talk of the town for once. DC and Warner Bros. would love that.
And it wouldn't be too difficult to make either. Batman had a wealth of gadgets that Rocksteady incorporated into their fighting, and Superman has his various super-powers, like ice breath and heat vision. Batman spent most of the Arkham games gliding around Gotham City on his cape. Surely it wouldn't be too hard to turn that into regular flying, right? Of course, right.
4. Joker
As much as I might want a Robin game, you know Rocksteady and Batman fans everywhere would rather have a Joker game. Using the same framework, and perhaps even the same universe, Rocksteady could send the Joker through all manner of insane fun. Give him weapons, maybe a Jokermobile, and they could really push the envelope. Of course, this game hinges entirely on whether or not they could get Mark Hamill back to do the voice. Once that's in place, I'm sure everything else would be easy.
3. Green Lantern
There's a reason why we should all be curious where Rocksteady goes next: Can they repeat the Arkham magic with another franchise? Do you remember how innovative Arkham Asylum was back when it first came out? I can still remember getting my first taste of the new 'free flow' combat system, and gushing about it to friends and fellow gamers. Arkham Asylum was unlike anything else we'd ever seen before, and it was about Batman, so that made it a million times better.
I would love to see Rocksteady come up with the next big innovate gameplay element and apply it to the Green Lantern Corps. The worlds of Batman and Green Lantern couldn't be further apart, so it would be a complete departure for Rocksteady. But I think we can all agree that they've worked up enough good faith at this point.
I have no idea what the innovation would be. But somehow, they could create a GL game that fully incorporates the rings, the constructs, the space travel, the aliens, and it would be amazing. Green Lantern is hardly a name brand out there in the world, but if anybody could revolutionize gaming once again, it's Rocksteady.
2. Justice League
Why settle for just one hero when we could have them all? Take everything they built with Batman, the same game engine, the same gameplay, and just add some more heroes. Figure out how to make the same system work for the likes of Superman, the Flash, Green Lantern and everybody else all at once. Then toss us around the universe, from the Watchtower to Apokolips to Gotham City. Do more team-ups, more gadgets, more super-powers. Switch from character to character. Throw in some real, otherworldly villains. Just…just go crazy with it!
1. Wonder Woman
Honestly, all the previous entries on this list were just for kicks and giggles (except Robin!). If Rocksteady is going to stay in the DC superhero game, then they need to make the greatest Wonder Woman game of all time. They need to do for Wonder Woman what the Arkham games did for Batman. They need to create this epic, sprawling, brawling, badass video game that turns Wonder Woman into the glorious combination of Lara Croft, Kratos, Geralt of Rivia and Nathan Drake.
Wonder Woman, not Superman, is the one with a new movie coming out soon. Wonder Woman doesn't fly or have strange super powers, which might be hard to turn into a game. Wonder Woman is just an awesome warrior, with lasso, sword and shield. She could travel from Themyscira to a Mount Olympus to Hades to a big city throughout the course of one game. She could be larger than life in ways the Arkham games could only dream of.
Wonder Woman has everything you could want in a video game. From street level superheroics to god level action. She's got unique and interesting weapons. She's got a new movie coming out. And she doesn't have a history of terrible games behind her. She's brand new to the world of games, and now is her time to shine.
Who would you like to see next in video games? Rocksteady has to go somewhere, and they've built up a reputation unlike nearly anyone else in gaming. Who could they revolutionize next?

COLUMBUS, BRUNSWICK, and BLADEN COUNTIES (WECT) – A long day for people who have court in Columbus, Bladen, and Brunswick Counties could get even longer.
Until this month, the three counties had DWI court. But prosecutors in the 13th District lost a grant with the Governor's Highway Safety Program, which allowed them to have DWI court.
"We actually had two judges who were considered emergency judges who came and helped deal with those DWI court dates. Right now we have six district court judges we have to share with three counties," Jamie Turnage, an assistant DA for the 13th District, said.
Brunswick County used to have DWI court at least every Thursday, Columbus twice a month and Bladen County once a month.
Now people charged with driving while impaired go to court with everyone else, which is causing an inconvenience.
"We had several days where court was held until 7:30pm or 10pm last week. It's absolutely harder. A lot of the officers work shifts that are 8am to 5pm or 9am to 5pm, when they're on day shift. You got guys who have to stay until 9pm or 10pm. That puts them in overtime. It's also hard when you have witnesses who come to court, or even people who get the DWI they don't expect to wait in court all day." Said Turnage.
She tells us, they are trying to incorporate ideas to help speed up the amount of time people spend in court.
"We're looking, beginning in January to start having some DWI court dates back into the system. But to do that we have to sacrifice criminal court dates for DWI court dates." Added Turnage.
She says, they're also working with law enforcement agencies to get officers' court dates scheduled so they can limit the number of cases they have on certain days.

THRDS are pleased to be collaborating with London based photographer Brunel Johnson. Our #LFWM special street style visuals, THRDS will focus on people's style journey. There are amazing designers, models, and celebrities scattered across Central London, jumping from one show to another. So Brunel decided to capture the street styles he came across while on his journey to LFWM (Starting at Marble Arch and ending at Strand).
Brunel – "I prefer candid photography as it's more natural so wherever I could implement this I did. I wanted to capture the reality of the outfits (i.e. in movement) which would show just how well dressed these men were… Looking elegant even while in motion. Hopefully the photos show this."

Ind. Code §§ 24-4-4.5-7-101 et seq.
Status: Legal
Payday loans are legal in the state of Indiana, pursuant to Ind. Code §§ 24-4-4.5-7-101 et seq. There are currently 501 companies in Indiana offering payday loan services, the basic loan terms including a loan amount of up to $550 to be repaid within a minimum of 14 days.
While a potential borrow can request up to $550, the requested amount cannot exceed 20% of the borrower's monthly gross income. The finance charge for a $100 payday loan for 14 days is $15. The state also limits the number of open loans to two at one time, one loan per lender, and extensions are not allowed. The interest rates start at 15% for the first $250; 13% for $250.01 to $400; and 10% for $400.01 to $500. Additionally, a nonsufficient fund fee can be charged by the lender only one time and the amount must not exceed $20, although some additional charges may also be applicable if there is any such specific clause already disclosed in the loan contract.
Payday loan usage in Indiana is prevalent, with Indianapolis offering an estimated 90 payday loan stores alone. As such, the cooling-off period and borrowing time frames give potential borrowers a bit a breathing room should they have need of it. After three consecutive loans have been made to a borrower, the lender must offer an extended repayment plan of at least four equal installments at no additional cost to the borrower. Additionally, if a borrower has already taken six consecutive loans, the lender must wait for at least seven days before approving another cash advance to him or her. These regulations provide potential borrowers some safety against falling into a debt cycle, but care should still be taken when considering the use of short term loans. While a lender cannot charge a delinquent lender with criminal action, they can file a civil suit against the borrower, the punishment being decided by a judge. However, a lender cannot garnish wages or force repayments from a delinquent borrower unless they have a court order in place.
To apply for a payday loan in Indiana, a potential borrower must meet these requirements:
Lenders in the state of Indiana are legally required to comply by the following limitations according to Ind. Code §§ 24-4-4.5-7-101 et seq.:
If you have a complaint against a Indiana Cash Advance location you can contact your state regulator below:
Below you can find Indiana payday loan lenders in the following cities:
The following information is key demographic data for the state of Indiana from the Census bureau.
Although state regulations prohibit lenders from pursuing criminal actions against a delinquent borrower, it would be unwise for a borrower to assume there are no other hazards involved with the irresponsible use of cash advance loans. While an effective way to address short-term financial emergencies, long-term problems could occur if the loans are not repaid. As such, borrowers should familiarize themselves with the state lending regulations and the terms of service offered by a lender before committing to a payday loan.

Our roof is almost seven years old and holding up well except for a few holes along the hip ridges and loose tin along the apex. Before we dissappear for the wet season we thought we'd get the boys together and secure the roof against the onslaught.
It isn't the climate for a sunroof, and with the ridges removed, I was in danger of getting sunburnt at the sink. Fine leaf matter rained down onto every surface, and the house once again regressed to a building site. We struck up a contract price for the work that included coffee and lunch for two days. I was the morning tea lady and cook, while Tom drove the broom and mop to provide a clean working space in the kitchen. I let the boys add their own sugar to their coffee (at least three teaspoons), and while I fed them up with a variety of vegetables, they stealthily added a hunk of boiled fatty pork they had received as payment for helping a mate move his boat. I'm not sure where it was hiding all morning and didn't dare ask.
Eli (seated above right) was our original roof builder and smiling Dens (below right) made our furniture and front stairs. Along with their cousin Yos, they are a crack team, having completed the equivalent of an Australian standard apprenticeship under the tutelage of our neighbour Colin. Over a three season marathon they helped Colin build his house and learned valuable skills, including English, that they can take to new projects. They have acquired motorbikes, sunglasses, shoes, and their own home improvements, still Eli professes his desire to return to the simple life of a fisherman. Stress free.

No Upfront Cost Loans With Monthly Payment
Please visit our website at https://loansyoupaybackmonthly.com/ to check out guaranteed no obligation deals.
As more and more people are using fixed rate loans to bridge the gap between paychecks, many lenders are also extending their financing services to include 6 month loans with any credit history.
A fixed fee loan typically costs you $80 of financing expenses according to a study in 2015. That is why many news report lenders to have a higher interest, even when you borrow from big financial names. The exact amount also depends on where the borrower lives in because each government has its own laws and limit on how much cash lending companies can charge, and some states such as Kentucky do not allow any payday loans that do not need a bank account.
In some cases, borrowers can choose to postpone a personal unsecured installment loan 3 to 4 times, if he cannot afford the repayment. When you do so, your overall borrowing fees increases because of the increased due date. Generally, easy approval lenders do not discriminate against such requests from high risk individuals because of unexpected financial troubles. According to MSN Money, the longest financing can be up to 18 weeks for a speedy loan.
Low Credit Installment Loans
Lending businesses provide what is also known as post-dated check loans, usually they allow consumers to borrow 400 dollar loans until their next pay check arrives. Short term financing can handle any pressing bills to pay, but you are supposed to pay back within a 1 month due date. This depends on when you borrow and how often you are paid by your employer.
The ease of getting an affordable APR cash advance even when local banks deny you is the main benefit over conservative lending services. That is why more and more people are looking for licensed 12month loans on the internet since it is easier to examine and find the most preferred fees and rates. Why worry whether you can get approved or not - you can click here for a free quote! After submitting the secured form, you can decide whether to take up the deals or not. Once you confirm with non payday lenders, for example the funds can be deposited to your savings account electronically and available for withdrawal as soon as one business day.
It used to be that you can only do it online for small 400 loans under 30 days. For some individuals, the tight borrowing period is not able to meet their financing needs. As such, new overnight approval lending websites started to provide long-term payment due date for anyone who has a poor credit history. These are pay monthly installment loans without collateral required and similarly, there is no need for cosigners and the network of money lending companies can let you have more time to pay off the balance.
To get a short-term loan without leaving your home, you can click here to sign up right now. That is a very convenient way to borrow money even at 2am any day. The entire process can usually be completed at the secured website of financing providers, so you may not need a fax machine or mail photocopies of your paycheck stubs. Similarly, there is no need to put down collateral to get a low risk loan. Large lenders do consider online requests for quotes on the basis of your expected salaries so no security deposits are required. Furthermore, it is possible to pay back in installments.
Although short term and lending companies market their services as affordable APR compared to credit cards, this is dependent on your financing window. For truly temporary loans, they can be scary if you can roll over the payback date, your financing fees can really add up. It is good to plan your options carefully when you need a lending institution with monthly repayment.
Sign up for free on our website, and we are able to let you see quotes from many lending companies that will provide you a second chance and returning customers may even qualify for higher credit limit. Many users are able to find a 6 month loan quickly and if you are still using loan sharks that are controversial in nature, a better solution is to try safe temporary loans.
Just check through these very easy requirements in order for lenders to approve you:
- you have to be an U.S. citizen
- you have to be an adult (18 years old or above)
- you are able to show a monthly pay check of $1500
- you have a valid bank account

Heaven knows I'm miserable now
Space oddity
Truth doesn't make a noise
I can't wait, I want to do it now (our sins will never be as cruel as our music)
Imorgon (fredag) ska jag troligtvis till Norrköping och hälsa på min bästa vän Casandra. Hon är underbar.
She won't move cause I'm holding her head. She's lost, bye, bye, bye, just the thought fills my heart with pink frost - what can I do if she's lost?
Let's rave on
Mellow my mind with the sweet scents of the night and the sight of alcoholic old men sitting on benches with nowhere to go but into their drunk, confused minds

|Roll Into A Perfectly Made Bed: All You Need To Know About The Art Of Bedmaking - hardcover book
|"If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed." This was the first of ten life lessons identified by US Navy Admiral William H. McRaven in his commencement address to the graduating class at the University of Texas at Austin on May 17, 2014. I could not agree more. I wrote this book for the workers around the world who make beds every day for a living, as well as for the homemakers who make beds every day for their families. I firmly believe a great night's sleep is the best medicine for the tired body, soul, and mind. After years of accumulating knowledge on the subject, I have finally put my thoughts on paper so that the generations to come can benefit from my expertise on how to achieve the perfectly made bed.

Orders fly for up-rated Cruise Craft 685 Explorer
Explorer 685 up-rated from 270 to 300hp greatly exceeds projections
Cruise Craft has reported a string of orders for its Explorer 685 following the model's up-rating to legally carry a single outboard up to 300hp.
Many new boats are already on the water, said Cruise Craft, with some carrying the Yamaha F300 V8 outboard and others fitted with the Verado 300. The boats were delivered by Cruise Craft dealers located in WA and Qld.
According to Peter Benston, sales and marketing manager at Cruise Craft, the acceptance of the re-rated Explorer 685 exceeded all projections.
"While we thought that there was solid market demand for greater power on the Explorer's transom, we didn't think that it would take off so quickly," Benston said.
"It just goes to show that big horsepower is not the exclusive domain of skiers and performance boaters, fishos love to have plenty of grunt on the transom too."
The new power rating was achieved through re-engineering the 685 model. This boosted the maximum rating from 270 to 300hp, without increasing the cost for buyers. Cruise Craft said the vessel not only satisfied the stringent requirements for CE Certification, but also came through rigorous on-water testing without flinching.
All Cruise Craft Explorer 685 models manufactured since October 1, 2009, have benefitted from the upgrade.
Visit www.cruisecraft.com.au for more information.

When fishing offshore, his Yamaha F300 is said to run efficiently all day at mid throttle. When it's time to open up the engine and ease the throttle forward, his 685 has the strength and engineering to handle the power and sea conditions.
