Week 8 of my Health and Weight Loss Dairy and it's another week of just sticking to the plan!
I feel kind of bad continuing to publish these diary entries when there is so little to update you guys on!
This week was just another case of sticking to the plan and staying consistent. Relatively easy for me but not so exciting for you!
So I will make this a short one and just let you know how my week went!

16 IBS Cures Guaranteed To STOP Your IBS For Good
In case you're interested, and before we get to this week's diary, here is a list of my previous diary entries:
- How to make bone broth that is actually drinkable (Week 1 of Health and Weight Loss Diary)
- How to stop IBS-D in it's tracks! (Week 2 of Health and Weight Loss Diary)
- One step forward, two steps back…(Week 3 of Health and Weight Loss Diary)
- The frustration of stagnation! (Week 4 of Healthy and Weight Loss Dairy)
- Fibre Is Not My Friend! (Week 5 of Health and Weight Loss Diary)
- No Focus, No Progress! (Week 6 of Health and Weight Loss Diary)
- Just Gotta Keep Going! (Week 7 of Health and Weight Loss Diary)
I've also written a post listing the top 16 IBS cures and treatments which you might like to read!
You can find all the details of why I started this diary right here. Curing my chronic health conditions is my main priority, particularly my IBS and leaky gut. While the weight loss is more of an added bonus, but nonetheless something I've been trying to achieve for a while!
(The first number was my week 6 stat and the second number is where I am now…)
Weight: 183.6 lbs –> 182.8 lbs
Bodyfat Percentage: 35.2% –> 36.8%
Right Arm: 12in –> 12.5in
Left Arm: 12.5in –> 12.5in
Chest: 41in –> 41.5in
Waist: 34.5in –> 35.5in
Hips: 44in –> 44.5in
Ass: 47.5in –> 47in
Right Thigh: 25in –> 25in
Left Thigh: 25.5in –> 25.5in
So that's….
- 0.8 pounds lost
- 1.6% body fat percentage gained
- 2 inches gained
Well I lost weight but gained inches and body fat. Not ideal.
My eating (quantity wise) is much better but I still haven't managed to restart exercising again and I'm pretty sure that where all the unwanted gains are coming from.
I was so consistent with my workouts for a long time but now it just seems like way too much effort for the lack of results I was getting (although realistically it was very healthy and good for me, just because the results aren't immediately visible doesn't mean they aren't worth it!)
I know I need to get back on with the workouts, anyone have any exercise motivation tips?!?
My IBS hasn't been too happy this week (TMI time) but I'm putting that down to be due to come on my period.
Interesting fact, many women experience abnormal pooping on or around their period, so it makes sense that it would aggravate my already unhappy gut.
If you want to find out more about your period's affect on pooping (what a fun topic!) then this post from Woman's Health Mag is a good place to start: 5 Ways Your Period Messes With Your Pooping Habits
Also the appointment I booked with an endocrinologist to get my hormones checked is next Friday, I'm already nervous which isn't great for my IBS haha. So I might be a few days late in posting next week's diary entry just because I normally do it on a Friday when my appointment is. But at least if I post after the appointment I will have something interesting to say!!
See you next week with hopefully something a little more gripping haha!

What do Maskiri, Nox, Ngoni, Good Child, Taurai Mandebvu, Trey XL and the late Amelia have in common? A lot perhaps but other than the enormous talent, esteem and star-dom they've all shared the same manager.
Elton Bryce.
At different times yes, in his calling as a record label executive they have worked with him. Of course you may also be aware of the immense work this man has done with Cindy Munyavi who has represented Zimbabwe internationally.
Let's find out more about Bryce in this interview.
Bryce, how did you decide you wanted to do this music thing commercially on a full scale?
I went to Tanzania on one my early music trip and met some artist who were making real music money .It inspired me .I have never wanted to be employed by anyone but to making money from my strongest passion music.
After your Tanzanian visit, how long did it take you to be a record label executive and who were your early signees?
I had recorded a demo of Benny's Demo feat Cherish Bryce so when I got back to Zim I signed them both and started to focus on my label full time. It seemed like a joke to everyone I was sharing my vision with.
Elton Bryce is well connected across Africa. Will he reveal his secret to creating great friendships across the globe or someone would need a one on one with him for a fee?
I am always online researching about what is happening in the markets I have an interest in. I spend about 12hrs on the phone or more a day. I always travel and meet people face to face. I value relationships in business. Maintain my principal and business plan .keep my circle of friends small. No one ever has to pay me a fee for some schooling of the game. Always will to help any 1 with talent and passion. I don't party ,Club or none of that I am about growing and maintaining my network. There is nothing wrong with club or partying though.
This is a very sensitive one. How did the untimely demise of Amelia affect you?
It's still affecting she was more than an Artist she was family. We had also partnered up on her record label I was helping her set up. She was an amazing person and it's hard to accept her passing.
We are working on her second album .The plan is to keep her legacy alive like they do for Pac and Biggie.
Are you ever coming back to rap as an artiste?
(Laughs) Too old. No I think my time is done I missed so much, the game has changed a lot but I am working on a DJ kind of album.
In Zimbabwe right now who are the 3 artistes you think people shoould put their eyes on?
Cindy Munyavi, [I'm] biased [laughs], Gze amazing talent , Huby Blacks.
Now as if you're handcuffed…. stop scrolling and put your hands together for Bryce!
If you did not yet know Elton Bryce prior to this read it may be because of his low profile. Managers tend not to be all over the television, newspapers and so forth. They facilitate that kind of stuff for the people who need it more; the artistes they manage.
It's many times that we applaud only the artistes when endorsement deals are procured. Managers have to live with the burden of never being appreciated, in fact sometimes their artistes are coerced into leaving them, despite all efforts, teaching and investment they would have contributed.
Like parents, they at times have to see kids they raised up forget from whence they came. Although sometimes… sometimes the children proudly say, "Thank you."
So too appreciate this man I conducted an interview with him sometime, over a cup of coffee, he is not into alcohol and such.

Liam Hemsworth snapped kissing Australian actress
Australian exports Liam Hemsworth and Rebel Wilson are currently shooting up a storm for their new film Isn't It Romantic in New York City.
The dynamic duo were caught filming a steamy kissing scene yesterday, with a green screen backdrop and buckets of fake rain setting the mood.
Liam and Rebel will be joined by fellow superstar's Adam DeVine and Priyanka Chopra in the romantic comedy, which is set to hit screens Valentine's Day 2019.
Not much is known about the plot so far, though they appear to be recreating some iconic Pretty Woman scenes. Also, Rebel is turning heads with some serious statement looks on-set.
We also couldn't help nothing that Mr. Hemsworth is aging like a very fine wine...
We can't WAIT to catch this movie... in a year and a half.

Do you know what pisses me off more than anything? Paying $10 to see a movie. Not because I think it's overpriced. But because I have to sit in a theater filled with morons.
Things that piss me off:
1) People that talk throughout the movie while sitting next to my friend Dan "The Man" Wingo. You're not funny for doing so, and you're making those around you want to stab you in the f-ing face.
2) People that text during the movie, causing the light to shine directly in my eyes. You're not that important. Put the phone away and talk to your lame friends later. They're probably even less valuable than you.
3) People that laugh at inappropriate times. For example, I went to see "Brothers" last weekend. As you can tell from the previews, there are several intense dramatic scenes. Instead of sitting in silence or shock, many people busted out laughing at the serious dialogue. There should be a minimum IQ and maturity level to see this type of film. So for the people that laughed: STFU and GTFO!
4) Another shot at stupid people. I hate when one man or woman thinks they have figured something out before the rest. In "Brothers" there's a scene depicting a hangover for Jake Gyllenhaal's character. This woman sitting near me laughed hard enough to be heard by all the 14-year-old girls seeing "New Moon" for the third time. She didn't say anything, but I knew exactly what she was thinking. "Ooooooohhhhhh!!! He's got a hangover! I know more about this than anyone here, and no one else has even figured out what's going on!" This woman is what I like to call stupid. And she should never be allowed to see a non-Cameron Diaz/Sandra Bullock movie.
That's all I've got for now. What really grinds your gears?

When people point out the insanely obvious. Like saying, "That's a chicken" when a chicken is in the frame (this actually happened).ReplyDelete
When there are fifteen billion empty seats in the theater, but they choose to sit in the chair directly in front of you, no big deal that your feet have already claimed that chairReplyDelete
Haha or sit directly behind you and talk throughout the movie like no one else is in the theaterReplyDelete

In the humanities and social sciences, posters are an increasingly common way of presenting research findings in a creative way. Our own is one of an increasing number of academic conferences to include an exhibition of research posters alongside the more traditional papers and panels.
Presenting a research poster can be an especially useful way of postgraduates beginning to share questions and insights without having to worry about standing up in front of the great and good of their field. For more established scholars they can also be a useful way of thinking differently about presenting research.
Posters come in many styles and formats. At the Social History Society conference, presenters can use whatever presentation style is appropriate to showcase their research. So if you are preparing a poster it might be useful to seek advice or support for designing the poster from your university's media centre.
There are also many websites that offer suggestions and examples of posters to help presenters.
Some useful websites include:
Posters for our annual conference can be laminated and tacked up on the notice board, or can be mounted on a tri-fold poster board and set on the table provided at the conference. The size of the poster is limited to the dimensions of the notice board or table on which the poster is displayed.
Too much text on the poster will make it difficult for people to read, so presenters should use a maximum of 800 words. Font size of at least 36 point should be utilized so that the display can be seen from a distance.
The poster should include useful information such as contact details, key research aims, and conclusions. Arguments should be made clear and concise so that readers can easily understand a presenter's research findings.
Presenters can also run a short PowerPoint presentation, video, music, etc. on their laptop to supplement their poster presentation.
At Conference
In 2019 our conference will once again feature an exhibition of research posters from each of our conference strands. Attendees will have the opportunity to vote on their favourite poster during the conference. The winner will receive a cash prize.

HOUNSLOW Council has won an award for CCTV parking enforcement despite huge controversy over the new system last year.
It won the enforcement award, together with the NSL group which supported the scheme, at last month's British Parking Awards.
Judges praised the network of cameras for helping to crack down on rogue drivers and improve safety on the streets.
Inspector Ged Boyer, of Hounslow Police, said: "Since the installation of the control room in December 2009 the relationship between your team and the police has continued to develop and our officers have come to rely heavily on the evidence captured by your cameras as part of their investigations."
CCTV cameras enforcing parking across the borough were briefly switched off last year after drivers who were hit with a flood of fines complained about a lack of publicity.
The Chronicle revealed last month how CCTV cameras in Hounslow were responsible for issuing 58,000 parking tickets last year, generating nearly £4 million.

Department of Chemical Engineering, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602
Four series of tests were performed in an accelerated deposition test facility to study the independent effects of particle size, gas temperature, and metal temperature on ash deposits from two candidate power turbine synfuels (coal and petcoke). The facility matches the gas temperature and velocity of modern first stage high pressure turbine vanes while accelerating the deposition process. Particle size was found to have a significant effect on capture efficiency with larger particles causing significant thermal barrier coating (TBC) spallation during a 4 h accelerated test. In the second series of tests, particle deposition rate was found to decrease with decreasing gas temperature. The threshold gas temperature for deposition was approximately 960°C. In the third and fourth test series, impingement cooling was applied to the back side of the target coupon to simulate internal vane cooling. Capture efficiency was reduced with increasing mass flow of coolant air; however, at low levels of cooling, the deposits attached more tenaciously to the TBC layer. Postexposure analyses of the third test series (scanning electron microscopy and X-ray spectroscopy) show decreasing TBC damage with increased cooling levels.

Today's match for the United States women's soccer team ended just like their last encounter with Colombia, with the US women dismantling their South American "friends" 3-0. The two teams last met during the 2011 Women's World Cup last July, and much like that previous experience against the Colombians, Megan Rapinoe was a key factor for Team USA. Rapinoe scored once in last July's contest and she extended that points streak against the South Americans with another goal and an assist today, paving the way for the United States shutout win.
This was a match that Head Coach Pia Sundhage was expected to win from the time that the tournament groups were announced. According to the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women's World Rankings, Team USA is the #1 women's soccer power in the world, with Colombia barely cracking the top 30 sliding in at #28 overall. With that kind of discrepancy between the teams you can see why expectations were what they were for the match, and USA definitely lived up to that high standard today.
Unlike the match on Wednesday, Team USA got off to a great start this afternoon. It didn't hold true on the scoreboard until the 33rd minute though, when the previously mentioned Megan Rapinoe came through with her usual magic. After a pass from Alex Morgan, Rapinoe took a strike from about 19 or 20 yards out and found the back of the net to make the score 1-0. Rapinoe took the opportunity to celebrate a birthday of a friend, injured US star Ali Krieger, as she pulled a message from her sock that said "Happy B-bday Kreigy: We Love You". While it was a simple gesture, it really shows the love and camaraderie that this USA soccer team has for each other, so that's great to see.
A few minutes after the goal, there was another event that should have had more of an impact on the game than it did. In the 38th minute, Colombia's Lady Andrade threw a right cross to the face of USA forward Abby Wambach. The ref did not see this incident as Wambach went down to the turf immediately and had her eye swell up almost as fast. If the ref had noticed, Andrade would have been ejected from the game as the punch is a red-card offense, and though she got away without even a foul being called this time it is very possible that rules officials will look at the tape and retro-actively give her a fine or suspend her for the incident. For the remainder of the half there was plenty of physical and aggressive play from both sides, and at times it seemed like maybe the match official had lost control of the happenings on the pitch. The teams went to the second half in Scotland with that same 1-0 score, but USA dominating the pace of play.
The second half continued with the USA imposing their will even though they weren't to finish their chances, but that all changed in the 74th minute when Abby Wambach out-muscled and out-determined two Colombian defenders to slide home a through ball from Tobin Heath in traffic. Wambach's goal, her 140th career international goal and one that gave her the record for most goals by an American in Olympic competition, showed exactly why she is as effective a player as she is, and how no one in the world can outwork her. It takes guts to fight through multiple defenders like she is so adept at, and it really is a pleasure to see her put her head down and make things happen on the pitch.
Wambach's goal changed the morale of the Colombian team. And just two minutes later, any hope or faith that they remaining flew out the window. After an absurd (or at least it seemed that way with how easy they made it look) display of passing, Megan Rapinoe got her name into the assist column of the scorebook with a sick pass right through the center of the Colombian defense. The pass found Carli Lloyd who knew what to do with it, putting her shot into the net and making the score 3-0. This was the icing on the proverbial cake. The announcer on NBC Sports Network said of the goal (and more specifically the play and pass) that it was like a "hot knife through butter", and if you saw the play you can agree that the commentator was exactly right. You could say that quote summed up the entire game pretty nicely too, as in addition to the three goals that were counted the Americans also had three goals disallowed for various infractions. To put that in perspective, Colombia only had one shot on goal in the whole match, so you can see the domination right there.
Team USA has now qualified for the knockout round. They still have one final group game remaining, a date with Korea DPR on Tuesday afternoon from Old Trafford in Manchester, England. That match will be for pride and for standings, but the US will live on for the knockout round regardless of the outcome Tuesday. I'd expect a similar outcome of today's match, but with how interesting this USA team is and how determined they are to atone for their missed chances in last year's World Cup, the game should be a must-watch for any USA sports fan.
Player of the Match: Megan Rapinoe. She is a special talent, adding a goal and an assist to her career portfolio today.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — You all know the story of the one that got away, right? The fish, which somehow wiggled off your hook, gets larger and larger as the years go by.
So it will be with James Develin's first NFL touchdown. He scored it Sunday in the New England Patriots' 34-31 victory over the Houston Texans, a 1-yard plunge that made everyone's highlights. Now, depending on what story you read, Develin either bounced off three, four, or six Texan defenders before lunging into the end zone. Perhaps years from now, he'll have been hit by all 11 Texans.
However many it was, it was perhaps the most impressive 1-yard touchdown in Patriots history.
"It was something I'll never forget," said Develin, a fullback. "Getting your number called and knowing you're that close and finally plunging in there like I did ⦠it was an incredible experience."
And it has made Develin's journey well worth every ache and bruise.
His path to the NFL has not been typical. He attended Brown University, an Ivy League school in Providence, R.I., and earned a degree in mechanical engineering. He played football there — as a defensive lineman. He finished his career with 53 tackles.
Undrafted out of college, and with good job prospects ahead of him, he wasn't ready to give up on football just yet. He played Arena Football, for the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz, and then hooked up with the Florida Tuskers of the now-defunct United Football League.
He also decided he wanted to be a fullback.
"I knew my road to the NFL would be a tough one, so I kind of just wanted to be versatile and, wherever they needed me to play, I would do it," he said. "And when I got to the UFL is when I finally made that switch."
He was fortunate enough to play for the Tuskers under head coach Jay Gruden. When the league folded, Gruden joined the Cincinnati Bengals, where he is now their offensive coordinator, and took Develin with him. He spent all of 2011 season on Cincinnati's practice squad. When the Bengals released him on the last cuts of the 2012 preseason, the Patriots signed him to their practice squad.
He was active for only one game last year. This year, he has become a solid contributor on special teams and as a blocking fullback.
"He's a good example of a guy that may not get a ton of credit up front, but deserves his share of it because he has helped us in the running game as a lead blocker," said Josh McDaniels, the Patriots offensive coordinator. "He's an incredibly unselfish player, works hard, definitely adds an element of toughness to our team and to our offense.
"He comes to work every day and gives you everything he has. I think any time you can add a player to your team like that, it can only help you."
Tom Brady said that the fullback has been a missing piece of New England's offense the last couple of years.
"It's a very selfless position," said Brady. "You're not going to get a lot of carries or catches. It's really about springing holes for other people, and whether that's the running back or protecting the quarterback so you can drop back and throw it to the receivers, it's all about the team at that position. He brings it."
Brady was asked if he did a double-take when the call came in for Develin to get the ball at the goal line.
"No, we knew that was something that we wanted to do and I think he gives everybody confidence that he can do those things," said Brady. "Then when you give it to him and you see a fourth or fifth effort for a score, you want to give the guy more opportunities."
Develin, 6-foot-3, 255 pounds, was initially stopped at the line, but kept bouncing off tacklers while rolling to his left, eventually lunging in for the score.
Bill Belichick agreed that Develin's role could be expanded – to a degree.
"I don't think he's ever going to be out there for every play offensively, that's not his role, but when we do have him out there or when we have him out there in the kicking game, he works hard at what he's asked to do and he's been a good contributor for the team," said Belichick. "He's smart, he's tough, he works hard, he's a very dependable guy and there's an awful lot to be said for that."
Develin, 25, simply wants to be out there.
"Any time my number is called, no matter the role, I'm going to try to go out there and do my best and get the job done," he said. "I've been blessed that they trust me enough to go in there and do different things that I haven't done before. I'm just going to continue to learn and get better."
He knows he could have cashed in on the engineering degree out of college. That wasn't for him just yet.
"I've got that degree in my back pocket and it will be with me until the day I die," said Develin. "I knew that if I didn't give it my best shot to try to play football as a career, I'd always regret it. So I took a little bit of a risk and luckily it worked out."

Picasso's "Repose" is estimated to bring up to $20 million.
Some of the greatest hits in art history are coming to Sotheby's and Christie's in Manhattan this weekend: a van Gogh portrait of Madame Ginoux, the proprietress of the Cafй de la Gare in Arles, France, which the artist frequented until his suicide in 1890; a 1941 Picasso painting of his mistress Dora Maar with a black cat perched on her shoulder, not publicly seen for more than 40 years; and a haunting 1902 Blue Period Picasso of Germaine, one of his earliest muses.
Lovers of postwar and contemporary art will have lots to ogle this weekend too: a Warhol soup can with its top cut open; three of Donald Judd's signature wall stacks; Jeff Koons's vacuum cleaners encased in a Plexiglas box; even a lamb submerged in formaldehyde by Damien Hirst. (Phillips, de Pury & Company also has a sale of contemporary art on May 11, filled with newer works by some of today's hot artists.)
Those studying the catalogs of the important auctions of Impressionist, modern, postwar and contemporary art — two weeks of back-to-back sales starting Tuesday — may wonder who is selling these famous images, and why. It is the pros who are cashing in this season. As the art market continues to spiral upward, the consignors are, for the most part, familiar names in the art world. Not only do they believe that rising prices make it the right moment to sell, but they also see many new collectors. In the last year the newly rich from markets like Russia and Asia have become a presence at auctions.
Some sellers are seasoned collectors, like the British advertising executive Charles Saatchi and his ex-wife, Doris; the newsprint magnate Peter Brant; and the financiers Eli Broad of Los Angeles, Mitchell P. Rales of Washington and Henry R. Kravis of New York. A surprising number of dealers are also selling works, among them Irving Blum of Los Angeles and his ex-partner Joseph Helman, as well as Marianne Boesky and Christophe Van de Weghe of New York. Several well-known names are parting with works, among them Happy Rockefeller; L. Dennis Kozlowski, the former chairman and chief executive of Tyco International; and Gunter Sachs, the German industrialist who became famous in the 1960's as a playboy who married Brigitte Bardot. Even two former chief executives of Phillips are trying their luck at auction this season: Daniella Luxembourg and Louise T. Blouin MacBain. (Ms. MacBain gave her business to Christie's, Ms. Luxembourg to Sotheby's.)
The record-breaking prices at last fall's auctions in New York and those in London in February encouraged sellers, making the war between Sotheby's and Christie's so cutthroat that both houses have been doling out large guarantees — undisclosed amounts promised to sellers regardless of a sale's outcome — to win the business. Their financing arrangements also include giving sellers a percentage of the buyer's premium and finding third parties to supply some of the money necessary to make good the guarantees.
"There's definitely a greater demand for guarantees," said David Norman, a co-chairman of Impressionist and modern art for Sotheby's worldwide. "People feel they are selling in a strong market, but they also want protection."
But when big money is on the table, auction house executives are inevitably anxious. What they cannot sell either at auction or immediately afterward at a lower price, they must store in their warehouses, sometimes for years. Still, all say the market is so hot they are not concerned about their guarantees.
"This season was deal driven; it was not about specific loyalties," said Brett Gorvy, a co-head of postwar and contemporary art at Christie's. "For the best material we had to stretch and be very aggressive."
Two of the top paintings at Christie's Impressionist and modern art auction on Tuesday night — the van Gogh and the 1932 Picasso — have no such strings attached. "The sellers felt that a guarantee wasn't necessary when selling such iconic works in a market as majestic as it is today," said Guy Bennett, head of Christie's Impressionist and modern art department.
By far its most famous image is van Gogh's "L'Arlйsienne, Madame Ginoux" (1890). One of the most recognizable faces in art history, the subject was painted extensively by both van Gogh and Gauguin. Christie's estimates the work could fetch $40 million to $60 million.
Christie's also has two important Picassos. The earliest, from 1902, is the Blue Period portrait of Germaine, which Christie's estimates at $12 million to $18 million. The other, "Repose," a startling, almost demonic 1932 depiction of Picasso's mistress Marie-Thйrиse Walter, is being sold by Bernard Picasso, the artist's grandson. Christie's expects it will bring $15 million to $20 million.
Although the Picasso is its prize painting, the cover image of Sotheby's sale catalog is Matisse's "Reclining Nude, View of Her Back" (1927), estimated at $12 million to $15 million. While the catalog does not designate the seller, art experts say he is Mr. Kravis.
Sotheby's is also auctioning two paintings famous for reasons other than artistic merit. Tyco is selling the Monet and the Renoir that once belonged to Mr. Kozlowski and have been at the center of a tax evasion scandal; he was indicted in 2002 for evading more than $1 million in New York State taxes by having art dealers ship empty boxes to Tyco's offices in New Hampshire while having messengers bring the paintings to his Fifth Avenue apartment.
As in the last several years, the postwar and contemporary market is exploding. This season Christie's sale on May 9 is packed — 94 lots — and starts at 6:30 p.m., a half-hour earlier than usual. The sale includes 26 Donald Judd sculptures that the Judd Foundation is selling to create an endowment to support its permanent installations in New York and Texas. Primarily late works from the 1980's and early 90's, they range in estimate from $30,000 to $40,000 for a small wood block from the 1960's to $1.5 million to $2 million for a 1993 stacked plywood sculpture. Getting the foundation's property was highly competitive; Christie's promised it more than $20 million.
It also had to give a generous guarantee to Mr. Blum, who has been selling portions of his collection over the years. This season he is parting with "Small Torn Campbell's Soup Can (Pepper Pot)," an early hand-painted work from 1962 estimated at $10 million to $15 million. (Experts say Christie's has guaranteed Mr. Blum about $10 million.)
Sotheby's has invested a lot of money on another Pop figure: Roy Lichtenstein, whose 1964 painting "Sinking Sun" is being sold by Mr. Helman. Sotheby's experts believe it will bring around $20 million. (Experts say it has guaranteed the painting for around $17 million.)
Collectors and dealers frequent Phillips for less expensive, more cutting-edge images. Phillips's May 11 sale features the work of popular painters like Elizabeth Peyton, Peter Doig and Marlene Dumas. Michael McInnis, its worldwide director of contemporary art, said about 20 percent of the sale comes from dealers and the rest from collectors. "People are inspired by the recent high prices," he said. "They feel it's too good to ignore the potential returns."

This year parents, with the iPads in the classroom we are using a spelling app to learn, teach and test our students on their spelling words. The children will be using the spelling city app everyday to learn their words rather than the traditional notebook. In the past very few students have remembered to bring back or get their notebooks signed. The iPad will change this. Although the app requires an internet connection to use the activities the students will still be able to learn their words at home in a traditional way i.e. Read the word out loud, cover/hide the word, say the word again OR Read the word out loud, cover/hide the word, Write the word out. Repeating this is important for the word to stick, so DON'T allow your son/daughter to only do each word once, have them repeat each word multiple times.
If you want to look at the lists or activities log onto https://www.spellingcity.com or click here for my homepage and class lists https://www.spellingcity.com/BenSoole/ . If you want more information just come in and see me.
To find a list just click on the "Find a list" button then type in "Soole" and search by teacher. This will bring up our lists.
Have fun learning their words with them and remember to explore the other spelling, language and word activity apps that are loaded on the iPad. They don't all need an internet connection.

business commentary
Rio Tinto chief knows value of timing
Always get your timing right in mining. If only Jean-Sébastien Jacques had reached the top of Rio Tinto in January 2016, he'd have hit rock bottom — the biggest bust in commodity prices since the 2008 financial crisis.
Just think. He'd now be parading around as the man who had more than doubled the share price in two years — up from £17 to last night's £38.80. Instead, J-S, as he's known, only got to wear Rio's big helmet six months later. The upshot? He's merely lifted the shares 65 per cent in 18 months (report, page 45).
Still, how lucky can you get? Not least compared with predecessor Sam Walsh. He rode the commodity rollercoaster all the way down, while simultaneously having to clear…

It Takes A Dream
8 comments
That is one of my huge dreams right now too. I am 7000 words in and terrified and excited all at the same time! I would love to hear how you did it! Congrats to you!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Shannon! Keep going! It's going to be so emotionally rewarding once you finish your book and you can cross that off your dream list. I'm terrified too, but when I think about not finishing or throwing in the towel, that scares me even more.Delete
I am like you a lover of writing and reading. I got locked into the library on time because I was reading and so into my books. I wrote a short children's book at one time but I don't think I can do the novel. I am more of a short stories kind of person. That's why I love the magazine I can write something then be done and have it shared it's easier and more people can see it although I would love to get paid for it smhReplyDeleteReplies
Kokoa is well on its way, but I could definitely see you having a regular advice column if you wanted. You keep very real and pull no punches. And that is the kind of advice some people could benefit from.Delete
- AnonymousMarch 12, 2014 at 7:48 PM
This is great Kerry!ReplyDelete
My dream was to be a mother to be honest. that's one thing I wanted more than anything and I get to love that dream everydayReplies
Awww....that is so sweet!Delete
This is wonderful! I love to read and write too, and I think blogging is part of my way to keep writing. One day I'm going to write a book I swear. I might be 80, but I will write it. My immediate dream is to have a photo published in one of my favorite photography magazines. I'm working on it!!ReplyDelete
Publishing a book has always, always been my greatest dream. And I'm getting pretty close to making it a reality. When I went on hiatus a few months back I was actually working on a book--that I've since stopped writing due to graduation/starting a new job/moving. But I'm planning on reviving it once we get settled in.ReplyDelete
I actually have two books nearly complete. One is a children's book for my daughter, that just needs illustrations. I'm currently looking for a new artist trying to get their name out there. Otherwise those illustration can cost an upwards of $200, per picture. The other deals more with blogging. And it's been fun to write. I'm planning on self-publishing this one and having it go straight to ebook. I've been learning the idiosyncrasies of formatting for an ebook, which has been fun (note the sarcasm). I've also been researching the best way to roll out a book straight to ebook, which has been equally as fun.
I think my blog has been a big inspiration to pursue my dreams as a writer. Going to school for 4+ years and getting a degree in a writing intensive subject also has a lot to do with it.
I wish you the best of luck with your dreams! It sounds as though you've had a heck of a journey yourself. A fashion major with a penchant for writing. I can't say I see that very often ;) Can't wait to read your book! And congrats!

Think about the last time you had a meeting. It might have been a coffee date, it might have been with a new client, maybe it was a dentist appointment. Think about whether, a) you were on time, and b) the other party was on time. My guess is that at least half of you were on time and the other party was not. What did you do with those five, ten, fifteen minutes? Read some awful celebrity mag or just looked around trying not to be anxious?
Ah yes, you were on your phone, ok, but what were you doing? Idly scrolling through your Facebook feed, reading emails but not doing anything with them? Tindering away looking for a match?
Enter the 15 Minute List
This is basically a cheat sheet that helps you get things done when you come across "found" time. Note down all the little things you need to do that take 15 minutes or less and can be done out in the world without many supplies (unless they are small enough to carry around with you - like blank cards for thank you notes!)
Perhaps you want to read an article that a friend sent you. Maybe you need to make an appointment for your dog to get vaccinations. You might have been putting off a quick check in with your grandma on the phone - all good ideas for your 15 minute list.
It doesn't just have to be waiting for others - you can pull out the list when you finish a task quicker than expected or when there's less traffic than you plan for so you're early to your Zumba class. You might find yourself with half an hour between appointments and want to actually do something useful with the gap!
Make Use of Short Stretches of Found Time
This is quite a good thing to keep on your phone (assuming you use a smartphone) and there are so many different apps you can use from your existing project management system to Wunderlist, Any.do, Google Keep or any of the myriad of others. Google Keep is cool because you can set location-based reminders - you definitely won't forget to stop in at the paint store on the other side of town to pick up some colour chips!
What you don't want is all of these tasks to interrupt your workflow or to take away a whole morning from you! So, keep your 15 minute list and revel in your ability to get shit done. Good work.
What's on your list?
I'm creating a series of my favourite productivity tips to share with you! I'm trying to keep them useful and concise so that they are easy to apply in your day-to-day life. Let me know if there are topics you'd like me to cover!

Florida power companies should embrace clean energy
A Feb. 10 Other Views column, Growing economy depends on clean energy, by former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman promoting nuclear reactors as a clean-energy solution for Florida, missed the mark.
She paints an outdated vision for the Sunshine State's energy future. Fact is, building new costly reactors locks customers into paying for monopoly utility decisions that benefit power company shareholders more than they help ratepayers.
There are more affordable and sustainable energy resources to help Floridians save money on bills, assure an energy future and create jobs.
New reactors in Florida are essentially financed by customers — thanks to a 2006 law passed by Florida's Legislature that shifts the financial risk of building reactors from company shareholders the customers. Reactors are ultra-expensive and can take decades to build. Duke Energy Florida customers recently got hit with a $3-billion bill despite the fact their power company pulled the plug on the reactor projects.
How expensive are new reactors? In the case of FPL, customers will not see a net financial benefit on the money they pay to finance its proposed reactors until 25 years to 36 years from today, if ever. If you're a 50-year-old FPL customer, you could be 86 or older before that resource decision by FPL pays off for you in fuel savings.
We can do better.
Florida's power companies ought to be capturing low-risk, low-cost clean energy resources first — like helping customers reduce energy use and lower their bills. Energy efficiency is the cheapest, fastest and cleanest way to reduce carbon emissions and your energy bills.
Unfortunately, the Florida Public Service Commission recently approved FPL's request to gut its energy-efficiency goals. That means less help from your utility in making your home or business more energy efficient. Those goals must be revisited.
Moreover, the state has barriers that limit ownership options of another clean-energy resource: customer-sited solar power. Laws currently prohibit the sale of power — including solar power — to a customer by anyone other than a monopoly utility. The price of solar power is approaching retail grid parity in Florida.
The state should promote more choice in solar ownership options so that every Florida family and business can enjoy the economic benefits of solar power.
The future is now. Ms. Whitman and Florida's power companies need to embrace it, not fight it.
George Cavros, Florida energy policy attorney, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Fort Lauderdale

Here's my card. But don't ask me what you're supposed to do with it. Perhaps you could use it as a coaster, or round the edges with an exacto knife and turn it into a small frisbee. Better yet, you could hand the business card back to me and we can pretend that this little exchange of ink and compacted tree fibers never happened. For reals, now, does anyone actually use business cards? I have a pile of perfect strangers' business cards on my desk, and an even larger pile of my own business cards in my desk, and I have never – not even hoo-wonce – used them towards any purpose other than tricking myself into thinking I am of a least a corpuscle of importance in The Business World. You know, I bet it would be more cost effective, not to mention environmentally friendly, if we all agreed to exchange five dollar bills at meetings, conferences and post-armed-robbery-safe-houses. And, just to be clear, I am in no way condoning the defacement of United States Currency, but if Honest Abe should happen to be wearing a top hat and monocle with a dialogue bubble coming out of his mouth with the caption, "Four score and seven jobs ago, I gave Nailsbails my full endorsement as a Handsome Titan of Industry," you should probably take down the contact information on the reverse side. After all, you never know when you're going to need seven hundred jokes about cats…fast.

Earlier this week I wrote about IIDE, Immediately-Invoked-Data-Expressions. Not an official term as such but an insight into the explanation of what our code is actually doing when utilising HTML5 advancements in plugin logic. IIDE was about getting smarter, using JSON for data-binding and bringing JavaScript and HTML5 closer to work harder for an enhanced 'view' approach. I've re-engineered my most popular plugin, the jBar into IIDE format and I'm going to share with you the process.
Table of contents
Before we can see what's new, we need to do a comparison in the plugins. I won't go script specific, but configuration specific. Generally, when you download/use a plugin, there are three steps:
- Adding the JavaScript
- Adding the HTML
- Adding a random script tag/file which calls all plugins and perhaps some custom code
And now, using the IIDE methodology we can cut out this unnecessary third step:
- Add the JavaScript
- Add and configure the HTML
Old plugin development
Here's the old plugin configuration for the jBar version 1.0.0:
Sure it looks okay, but it's not needed at all. We pass the plugin a bunch of options which are then parsed through the plugin logic and it outputs your code entirely.
No more default options
One thing you're probably used to seeing is jQuery plugin defaults that are actually inside the plugin script itself which you essentially override with your own options when you call the script. Using the IIDE methodology, I decided this wasn't at all necessary and completely ignored the need for it. Why? Because it's not really needed either - the defaults are in the markup for one, and secondly, we can check to see if the user has added the JSON data to the data-* attribute and run a function if necessary - light work.
New plugin development + config
I'm an advocate for ideas and changing things, not without good reason though, but generally because things make sense and following the direction of the industry. I really see this methodology pushing the way for future plugin development, and web development in general. I use IIDE for a lot of my application development work, with data-* attributes the possibilities are endless.
Here's the new configuration, the HTML with a data-* attribute named data-init="jbar". In my previous article on IIDE, I mention using data-init to boot plugins is a fantastic way to get them initialised. Alongside the data-init, I have data-jbar with a JSON config of my plugins options. This makes the process of integrating the plugin much easier for website authors (who generally find it difficult to integrate options and such into their page). It also makes things a lot easier with avoiding JavaScript errors. The plugin is created in the script file, all the intelligent work is done, we don't have to call it, add a script configuration to a particular element, we also don't have to worry about the global .jbar class conflicting with other classnames that are potentially appended to it as all JavaScript logic is run through the data-* attribute - completely separate. It would also be quite difficult to get this to error, whereas when dealing with live JavaScript, sometimes the positioning of your script can have an erroring effect.
So what does the above do? It's essentially some really basic JSON that we feed off the parameters to add data to our script, which in turn outputs the plugin that you need. These are the only four options that come with the jBar version 2.0.0. I know some of you requested to have the jBar at the bottom as well, but in terms of usability it's not great. However, all the styling inside the jBar is controlled via a CSS document now, not injected into style tags - so it's achievable with some CSS changes.
What do the options mean?
- message: the jBar call-to-action message
- button: the button message
- url : where you'd like the button link to fire
- state: choose the initial state of the jBar, open or closed are the two parameters
Now you know the ins and outs of the new plugin configuration, you can easily add it to your page like so:
Included in the download is a local fallback to jQuery should the Google APIs CDN version not fire or be available, this is good practice for all external JavaScript that is hosted on a CDN elsewhere.
Redeveloped + Data API
Now we'll take a look at the script:
The plugin doesn't use a single line of code from version 1.0.0, it's rewritten from the ground up. I've used the JavaScript prototype method for extending and creating my own functions, which prove to work really well with jQuery and the $.extend() functionality.
The plugin is wrapped in a protective wrapper, passing jQuery into it, but what I want to talk about specifically is the bond between jQuery, the plugin and our JSON.
First, I've setup a small handler to grab the element and pass the data back to he plugin:
You'll notice at the end we have this.jsonConfig which uses the .data() API from jQuery (conveniently parsing our JSON for us - jQuery will recognise JSON inside data-* attributes and return it).
To get the message that you'd specify in the HTML, we'd now simply do this:
Which would log the output in the JavaScript console for development testing. Here's a quick example of how I've used this inside the plugin:
A little bonus, you can see at the end I've added return this. This is very similar to how jQuery works when chaining functions and methods. So I can do this:
The Data API included in the plugin is where I think things will/need to progress in plugin and script development, I'm not running the jBar plugin script on document ready (DOM ready), but inside the plugin itself, I am initialising it with a DOM ready handler, which runs a check to see if our data-init="jbar" attribute exists, and if so, I grab it and run the jBar on it. It's as simple as that, self-initiation.
New technology advances, transitions and data URIs
The up and down jBar arrow images are also no longer images, they're data URIs, which means IE7 will not be able to render them. According to browser stats IE7 is pretty much non-existant. This also means that you don't need to upload any images to your directories to get it working, just the CSS which you're free to toy and destroy.
Valid plugin configuration
But I want to use Version 1.0.0
Suit yourself, grab it here.

Gusting winds and rain are dampening the start of Melbourne's glittering Derby Day but not punters' spirits.
Tens of thousands have arrived early for the start of the eight-day Melbourne Cup Carnival, with the traditional black and white dress code on display.
Following at a fashionably late pace were a long list of Australian and international celebrities, including Mad Men actor Rich Sommer and Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles.
Sommer challenged the celebrity behaviour model by actually watching and betting on the horse races from his place in the Schweppes marquee.
The actor - who plays Harry Crane in Mad Men - was planning to keep betting and punting, and head trackside later in the day.
"I've lost twice now," he said after Thunder Lady stormed home to win Race Two.
After a teasing burst of sunshine early in the morning, the weather closed in on Flemington Racecourse, threatening the hoped-for crowds of about 95,000.
As chilly winds menaced fascinators and intermittent rains challenged the resolve of the well-dressed punters staked out on the concourse, well-prepared revellers sheltered around umbrellas, champagne hampers and the odd Mercedes in the members' carpark.
Winds were no issue inside the lavish marquees of the Birdcage enclosure, where the gentle waft of air kisses was the only breeze to trouble celebrity guests, including Megan Gale, Jennifer Hawkins and musicians Benji and Joel Madden.
In the marquee of vitamin company Swisse, liver-cleansing shots were lined up at the bar alongside the bottles of vodka and champagne.
The Bachelor star Blake Garvey was among the guests - doing well on the social front for someone recently dubbed Australia's "most-hated" man.
Melbourne is facing a chilly afternoon with a top of 17 degrees as punters wait for the headline $1.5 million Victoria Derby, where trainer Gai Waterhouse's Hampton Court is favourite.

Top 10 Rare And Incredible Gem Stones In India
There are over 4,000 minerals found on earth, most of which cannot be visible in real life. The world's rarest gems are formed with the combination of mineral assemblages and trace impurities. Hence very less people have knowledge about the gemstones present on this earth. Here are few top 10 gem stones in India, a bit information about their essence and originality.
Everyone love wearing gems and earning them. By nature, it is not possible for every individual to have it, hence some things are made just to be adored.
- Red Diamond – $1,000,000 per carat
Diamond is said to be one of the most expensive gemstones with a price of $1,000,000 per carat. There are very few red diamonds found, to be precise less than 30. The color red originated due to the plastic deformation of crystal lattice.
- Taaffeite – $35,000 per carat
Taaffeite is a very rare and unusual gem, most often mistaken as spinel. Astonishingly, this stone was found already half cut and polished in Dublin. The main comparison between taaffeite and spinel is the double refraction appeared later. This gem is available in alluvial deposits with Sri Lanka and Tanzania. When this gem was misnamed as spinel and upon further investigation, it was found that the mineral was a new unidentified gem.
- Grandidierite – $20,000 per carat
It is a unique gem which gains up to $20,000 per carat and was first found in Madagascar in 1902. It is mostly found as accessory mineral on aluminous boron rich rocks with a pearly half transparent bluish green hue. It is one of the most astonishing gem very hard to earn because of its rare availability. It has that shiny effect and can attract people's attention.
- Serendibite – $18,000 per carat
Serendibite is a very rare stone and mineral was found in Sri Lanka in 1902. It has a complex chemical formula and it was recently discovered in Myanmar. It contains many chemicals namely calcium, boron, aluminum, magnesium etc which combine together to make it a perfect breath-taking gem stone. Hence bagging the top 4th position in India.
5. Diamond – $15,000 per carat
Diamond is one gem which everyone girl is fond of. It is known as the engagement ring. If anyone wants to gift a special token to their loved ones this would be the perfect choice. As given in the chemical composition, diamonds are pure carbon arranged in diamond lattice, which results in very tight strength and durability. Diamonds are found in cooled place that is originated over the span of 1 to 3 billion years.
6. Alexandrite – $12,000 per carat
Alexandrite is a kind of chrysoberyl that was found in the Ural Mountains, Russia during late 1830's. You would have noticed the wonderful color change of this mineral where it showcases as emerald in sun and ruby red in the moon. The main difference between alexandrite and chrysoberyl is the origin of iron, titanium and chromium as impurities inside alexandrite.
- Red Beryl – $10,000 carat
This gem is literally a gem to a girl. It is one the prettiest gem stone that can be designed as a ring and would look the best in the girl's finger. Naturally, pure beryl has no color but gains color from certain added elements. Red Beryl is found in mineralized rhyolite tuffs in Thomas Range, Utah. It is very rare that it is not found above 2 to 3 carats.
- Musgravite – $6,000 carat
Musgravite was originally identified in 1967 in Musgrave Ranges, Australia. This is a very unusual and difficult to find in huge quantity. It comes in the same type that of Taafeite shown in the same above. The chemical composition contains aluminum oxide with different volumes of magnesium, iron and zinc.
- Benitoite – $4,000 per carat
Benitoite is a dark blue gemstone which is made of barium, titanium and silica. It is taken shape at the end stages of cooled hydrothermally altered serpentinite. This rare gem was found in San Benito County, California where its name was given originally. It gives away heavy fluorescence and crystal shine due to its bright color.
- Poudretteite – $3,000 per carat
Poundretteite was found in Mont St. Hilaire Quebec, Canada in 1960 by the Poudrette clan hence having their name. The original color of it is pink and has a hardness of 5. The first poudretteite was found in Mogok, Burma only after 2000 at a crazy amount of 9.41 carats.

They came. They saw. They spent a lot of money.
Those are the findings from a survey of people who attended the April 26-27 Welcome to Rockville music festival at Metropolitan Park.
The economic impact study, conducted by the University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Laboratory, indicates a $10.3 million direct economic impact from 17,600 people outside Duval County who were at least somewhat influenced to visit Jacksonville.
According to the survey, 9,850 event-related commercial room nights were purchased in hotels and motels. The average length of stay was 2.26 days and the visitors averaged spending $163.80 per day, resulting in an estimated direct expenditure of $6.42 million. Applying the regional festival event multiplier of 1.6 yields the economic impact of $10,272,000.
"Tourism is an economic development tool," said Paul Astleford, Visit Jacksonville president and CEO. "Many people in the community may not realize that."
The summary explains that residents who spend money at events may produce a short-term surge in the economy, but they would have spent the money in the community eventually, even if it were spent in a different manner.
According to data collected from 687 interviews of Rockville attendees, 70 percent lived outside Duval County. The festival was the main reason 98 percent of those surveyed visited Jacksonville.
"Performing arts events such as Welcome To Rockville indicate that people who are interested in particular types of music are willing to travel and stay at a destination to see their favorite bands, which we believe will lead to growing attendance and local spending in the future," said Astleford.
Hotel rooms were booked by 78 percent of festival visitors. Ninety-four percent of visitors arrived in Jacksonville in their personal vehicles, while 4 percent flew in.
Over the course of the two-day festival, visitors averaged spending $83 per day at the event.
Males accounted for 57 percent of those surveyed, females 43 percent. The largest age group by percentage was 25-44 at 59 percent, followed by 18-24 at 28 percent. Sixty-four percent said their annual household income was $35,000 or more.
The survey has a margin for error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
The UNF studies of One Spark and Welcome to Rockville visitors have changed Visit Jacksonville's outlook.
"We have not done this kind of research in the past, but we are now going to look at all events," Astleford said.
UNF surveyed Jacksonville Jazz Festival attendees over the weekend and will conduct a study June 14-15 during Florida Country Superfest at EverBank Field, he said.

Anti-Gay Extremist Stabbed Teenage Girl to Death on Jerusalem's Gay Pride Parade
Shira Banki is one of the victims of the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish man; Yishai Schlissel who stabbed 6 people with a long bladed knife during Jerusalem's gay march. Shira died several days after the attack since she was seriously wounded.
This is not the first time Yishai Schlissel did the attack since similar incident happened last 2005. He just came out from prison 3 weeks prior to his current attack and had spoken angrily against the said parade. The parade was well under way when the attacker burst out from the crowd stabbing people before he was seized by the police.
Meanwhile, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conveyed his condolences to the family of Shira Banki. "The death of Shira happened because she bravely sustained the principle that everyone has the right to have a safe and dignified life", Prime Minister Netanyahu said.
"We won't allow the loathsome murderer weaken the fundamental values upon which our society is based", Netanyahu stated.
Jerusalem is reputed for its tradition and rich religious history. It holds annual modest parade which is exactly opposite to liberal Tel Aviv's grand parade inviting more than 100,000 individuals this 2015.

I turned on my laptop last night with ever intention of blogging. The screen went black. I was devastated and really just wanted to throw it at the wall. I decided that could potentially make matters worse.
I turned it off, did other things. Woke up this morning, did a dance around it, sang a little song, powered it on and it was working again!
So I will be back to my regular scheduled blogging tonight after work with all my pics from yesterday and today. I know you all would be sad to miss that!!
Sidenote: My sister texted me last night asking where my new blog post was! Aw its nice to know someone was looking forward to it!! :D
