Captain's Report
Contents of Report
The Regal LS6 is first and foremost a luxury sportboat with a single V-8 sterndrive for propulsion. To welcome family and friends aboard, seating spans the beam of the boat from the windshield aft to the swim platform, where wide lounges are equipped with versatile features that encourage comfort facing forward or aft. The bow seating area adds still another social area.
Distinguishing Features
- • Versatile aft lounges serve as seats in the cockpit, but also have backrests that fold forward to create aft-facing lounges. Even better, additional backrests built into the lounge seats are rumble seats that fold up from the flat seating surface to create an additional seating position.
- • The redesigned cockpit seating has evolved from previous models, using more of the 8'6" (2.59 m) beam to offer edge-to-edge seating that's reconfigured to have 15% more seating and 17% more storage, according to the builder.
- • Dual 7" helm displays are available to show digital engine gauges, digital charts, and also share other onboard data in ways not often seen on boats of this size and type.
- • Low, extended swim platform gives terrific access to the water for swimmers and tow-sports enthusiasts.
Peformance Test
The Regal LS6 has a LOA of 26'4" (8.03 m) and a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m). With an empty weight of 5,350 lbs. (2,427 kg), 61-percent fuel, and two people onboard, we had an estimated test weight of 5,987 lbs. (2,716 kg).
With a single catalyzed 350-hp Volvo Penta V-8 spooled up to 6000 rpm, we reached our top speed of 50.5 mph. Best cruise came in at 4000 rpm and 31.3 mph. It was at that speed that the 10 gph fuel burn resulted in 3.1 mpg and a range of 207 statute miles. Range numbers are calculated by holding back a 10-percent reserve of the boat's 73-gallon (276 L) fuel capacity.
When we pushed the throttle to the stop, she came on plane with a minimal 8-degree bow rise. We reached planing speed in an average 2.9 seconds, continued through 20 mph in 5.1 and reached 30 mph in 7.5 seconds. In turns she has a 10-degree roll into the turn and loses only 1 or 2 mph in all but the hardest turns. With the flat-calm lake conditions we saw on our test, we really can't comment on how she handles any substantial chop.
Features Inspection
Let's have a look at the many features of the Regal LS6.
Swim Platform
The swim platform projects 2'3" (0.69 m) from the transom and is topped with SeaDek nonskid matting. There is a folding reboarding ladder to the port side, mounted underneath the platform. The placement and position of this ladder matches the spirit of the ABYC specification, which mandates a ladder that extends 22" (.56 m), and can be deployed by a person in the water while allowing the person to stay as far from the prop as possible. There's a grab handle on the transom as well as a pair of speakers and a stereo remote control. A transom trim switch is a great idea, as it allows a boater to adjust the trim of the sterndrive when the boat is on a trailer, without having to clamber aboard.
Aft Lounging Area
Mounted on a 12" (30.5 cm) elevation are two lounge seats that Regal calls UltraLounges. They are wide enough to share, and each has a beverage holder set right into the seating surface on the outboard side. The bulwarks are padded here as well for optimum comfort. These lounges are divided by a 13" walkthrough to the cockpit on centerline. A stainless tow pylon pops up at the aft end of this walkway, but it is flush to the deck when not in use.
The cockpit on the LS6 has been designed to use more of the space available within the boat's 8'6" (2.59 m) beam for seating and stowage, and it's widened 6" (15.24 cm) from comparably sized models, according to Regal. It all starts at the aft end with the transformative lounge seating. The grab handles positioned across the tops of the aft seatbacks simplify the moving of the seatbacks fore and aft, but also add a measure of safety for family and guests moving around the boat, to the swim platform and back. There are blue LED courtesy lights that make it easier to get around aboard in low-light conditions while also making a striking statement.
The upholstery on our test boat was finished in a tan color with silver piping enhanced with diamond-stitched accents and custom embroidery, all done in-house. Regal calls the interior color scheme shown on our test boat Hitch and says it's a combination of warm and cool colors, using a light tan with gray accents. There are other colors of upholstery available with white with titanium gray, blue and red accent colors, as well as a tan color scheme called Pebble Beach.
The cockpit is lined in fiberglass that drains the water off deck surfaces, and have molded-in Diamond MarineTred nonskid, which the manufacturer says is a less abrasive pattern that is easier to clean. There are scuppers in the deck aft both port and starboard. Both sides of the cockpit have inboard-facing bench seats that use the padded coaming bolster as a backrest.
The cockpit benches to port and starboard have stowage underneath, with lids held up by gas-assist rams. The locker to port reaches all the way forward, beneath the companion seat, where a pull-out cushion grants access to that end of the space. The starboard locker has a dedicated spot for a carry-on cooler, which helps keep the deck free of clutter.
This companion seat opposite the helm has a flip-up bolster and is wide enough for two to share. Just ahead are a grabrail, and to port is the control for the standard Fusion stereo equipped with Bluetooth and six cockpit speakers.
The LS6 has a head in the port console just forward of the companion seat that Regal tells us is the same size as on the 2800 bowrider. Inside we found 4'1" (1.24 m) overhead clearance with 3' (0.91 m) of sitting headroom. The head comes standard with a chemical toilet, solid-surface countertop, an overhead light, a soft-step sole treatment, and stowage for toiletries. A portlight and stainless sink are also available.
The helm has a light-colored dash with an extended, upholstered brow over the main panel. Available dual 7" (17.78 cm) screens made up the selectable displays of the glass-dash concept on our test boat, eliminating the need for analog gauges. The hand-wrapped wheel is mounted to a tilt base. Rocker switches are located to the starboard side. There's a 12-volt accessory plug. The entire helm and companion-seat area is surrounded by the wraparound windshield, topped with a stainless steel frame, and there's a central walkthrough to the bow area. The helm is equipped with an electric horn beneath a stainless steel cover.
The bow is laid out in typical bowrider fashion with seating in a U-shaped configuration, but the increase in interior space is evident. The forward seat is a bit wider than usual and the forward bolster makes a comfortable aft facing lounge. Two forward-facing seats have flip-down armrests that don't require unlatching to stow.
The ground tackle is managed forward, where it is tucked under a SeaDek covered hatch at the foredeck, that opens with a lift-and-lock latch. There's Lewmar windlass that leads to a through-the-stem anchor roller with a polished stainless steel Lewmar plow-style anchor. Rode access is starboard and there's also a master switch next to the up-and-down rocker switch. There's a cleat to secure the rode and relieve pressure on the windlass. Farther forward is a foldaway navigation light.
Hull and Construction
The FasTrac hull has a single step and a 22-degree transom deadrise. The boat uses all-composite stringers for lightweight construction that delivers strength where it's needed. The boat is laid up with a layer of vinylester resin to form a barrier coat to protect against osmotic blistering. The boat is equipped with a battery switch standard and weather-resistant Deutsch electrical connectors. The boat is constructed to NMMA, ABYC, USCG, and CE Certification standards, according to Regal. Hatches are built with resin transfer molded fiberglass and finished on both sides.
The hull is available in ten colors with a selection of nine different bootstripe colors. The bootstripe is added at the gelcoat stage for better durability than vinyl graphics.
The engine compartment is easily accessed with a manually opening hatch assisted with pneumatic struts that also hold it open. A 27" (68.58 cm) opening gives plenty of room to perform daily checks and maintenance.
Sterndrive Benefits
With the vast improvements of outboard motors seen over the last decade and the advent of pod-drive systems, sterndrive power has seen its market position ebb significantly, but the benefits of a sterndrive for a boat of this size and type are undeniable.
The sterndrive allows for an actual swim platform, rather than swimmers being shunted to either side of a glorified outboard mounting bracket. And because the sterndrive's lower unit is positioned so close to the transom, it can be tucked well under the swim platform, so guests can sit and relax with their feet in the water, and kids can jump in and climb out of the water over and over (as they do) without fear of bumping the propeller.
The Engine is in An Engine Box. The sterndrive on the Regal LS6 is matched to a Volvo Penta V-8 engine that wasn't engineered for size to fit beneath a cowl like an outboard. All service points and components are accessible and visible, a great advantage when eyeballing an engine looking for leaks or potential trouble spots.
Contra rotating propellers mean even a single engine does not "walk" to one side while underway due to the propellers' rotation.
Trim adjustment is another way sterndrives improve the running attitude of a boat. Because the engine's lower unit can be trimmed, it adds another dimension so that a boater can tune the ride.
Sterndrives are Quiet. Think about it: The engine box provides plenty of air to the engine (air-intake noise reduction is a big challenge for outboard-motor engineers). That engine box also can be well insulated both inside (with foam panels designed to attenuate sound) and outside (the foam of seating and lounges helps, too). Plus an engine in an engine box is mounted on large vibration-damping mounts.
Sterndrives Offer Performance at a Competitive Price. All of those new outboards are the result of huge investments on the part of the manufacturers and that drives up the price. The development of sterndrives stands on good, established engineering, and they benefit tweaks and adjustments that dial in performance. Plus they're usually powered by less expensive automotive-based engine components. All in all, the price per horsepower on sterndrives is very competitive.

The Regal LS6 is built to be a luxury sportboat and to our mind that category encompasses three traits: a comfortable, well-though-out interior finished to a high level, a hull that can perform at speed, and sterndrive propulsion. While the last criterion seems very specific, it's hard to deny that the sterndrive provides many of the benefits, and makes the boat better all around.
The true swim platform makes a big difference for swimmers and even tow-sports enthusiasts will appreciate having that launchpad for their on-water sessions. And one cannot put a price tag on the peace of mind for the captain and any parents on board, to have that propeller out of the way and also a view aft unencumbered by outboards.
The aft lounges will be the most desirable place to sit at anchor, and they're that much better for the open view of the water. The cockpit, too, has better views aft and the low sound levels improves everyone's day on the water.

Every company depends on tools that help them do their jobs. HR tools, CRMs, chat & collaboration tools, business intelligence tools, marketing automation tools… the list goes on. Bringing another tool into the mix involves approval processes, buy-in from execs, and the occasional boss-nudging for her credit card.
Whatever the case, here are some ways you can convince your boss you need a status page.
A status page reduces support costs
Our customers reported a 24% reduction in support tickets by using a status page. A status page helps deflect support tickets during incidents by proactively notifying customers about problems via emails, text messages, or an embedded status widget.
Further reading: Statuspage Customer Survey
A status page builds trust
A status page allows you to showcase your uptime percentage, and customers love knowing these details. We often hear "We never go down, so we don't need a status page." You may never have a system-wide outage, but chances are you will have some incidents you need to communicate about. A status page helps you showcase your product's uptime, which builds trust with existing customers and new ones.
Further reading: Four nines and beyond: A guide to high availability infrastructure
Building your own status page solution is hard
We've been in the game for a while. We have spent years building a reliable, effective way to talk to your customers during outages so that you don't have to worry about maintaining your own status page infrastructure or code base. We host your page so that it's available when you need it most; when you're down. Our multi-channel messaging infrastructure allows you to input status updates in a single place, and we take care of making sure those messages go out via email, text message, Twitter, in-app messages, or all of the above.
Further reading: Why Signiant uses Statuspage instead of a DIY tool
A status page introduces a systematic way of handling incidents
Incident management involves tools, people, and practices. It's this combination of things that makes you prepared for when things go wrong. With the right team in place, the right processes and practices, and tools, you'll be ready for any incident.
Further reading: Uniting technical and non-technical teams for better incident response & Build a modern operations process with Statuspage
Good incident communication can turn negative experiences into positive experiences
Outages aren't fun, and hopefully they don't happen often. But when they do happen (and they will), you need to be prepared. Teams are shipping faster and more often these days. Monolithic products are becoming micro-service amalgamations – therefore incidents are happening more frequently, and you need a way to communicate with your customers during those moments. A status page isn't a "nice to have", it's something your customers deserve and expect. Having a dedicated way to communicate with your customers during an outage can help turn a negative customer experience into a positive one.

Fri., March 16, 2012, 7:31 a.m.
A long, fruitful day of hoops
I have to admit I didn't see the end of the UNLV/Colorado game last night. Couldn't get to the finish line. Failed. After spending most of the day watching favorite after favorite win, I couldn't stay awake anymore. Heck, it was after 9 for goodness sake. So we hit the sack, only to discover when I arose early this morning the Buffs had blown up that section of my bracket. The darn Pac-12. It destroys me even when it wins. Read on.
• Ya, I know Colorado had been playing well. But who had the Buffs beat? Just other Pac-12 schools, right? So there was no way they were going to take down the University of UCLA Transfers, was there? Well, they did. And that section of my bracket was gone. In fact, of the four games I missed Thursday, three were in the South regional.
• But, really, you don't care do you? You have your own bracket to deal with. All you want to know is Gonzaga news, isn't it? After all, the Zags played well, about as well as they have all season – despite some awfully poor officiating that included a missed double dribble that was as obvious as the belly in my shirt and a couple block/charge calls that were hard to fathom. But GU has played well at times this season. Some of their games – the second St. Mary's game, the second and third BYU game, Notre Dame – have been at a level that compares to their best teams of the past. But there have been enough clunkers mixed in this season – at St. Mary's, at BYU, at USF – that the overall picture has been colored a bit. Maybe that's why the Gonzaga fan base didn't seem all that confident before last night's game, using the we-had-to-travel-and-West-Virginia-didn't argument so vehemently before the contest it seemed like excuse building. It wasn't needed, was it? But just remember this. All those tickets the West Virginia fans bought yesterday? They are all in play for tomorrow's game. And Columbus, Ohio is only about a 3-hour, 20-minute drive away, or about from Spokane to Yakima. You would drive to Yakima to see GU in an NCAA tournament game, wouldn't you? Thought so.
• Gonzaga: You want to spend your morning reading about the rout? We have you covered. And not only do we have our coverage, which includes Jim Meehan's game story, John Blanchette's column, a notebook (about the passing of the Zags' biggest little fan) and Chris Anderson's pictures, we also have coverage from Pittsburgh, with the local paper's game story, and from West Virginia, with a couple of game stories and other assorted coverage. ... But first-game wins don't get the blood roiling as much as they used to, do they, even when they are that dominating. It's the next round that is key, right? In Columbus, home of third-round opponent Ohio State, there is this GU story from AP, some thoughts about the Zags and coverage of the Buckeyes' second-round win over the Loyola from Maryland. ... The Seattle Times' Bud Withers has a column and a notebook. ... The other WCC entrant that competed yesterday didn't fare as well as the Zags, with BYU falling hard against Marquette. There is game coverage and lots of sidebars from the Salt Lake City papers. ... League champion – wow, that's weird to write – St. Mary's gets going today against Purdue and there is coverage from the Bay Area, including this really good column on coach Randy Bennett. ... Former Gonzaga coach Dan Monson and his Long Beach State 49ers fell to New Mexico in Portland yesterday.
• Washington State: Christian Caple has just about everything you might need in his blog posts, from the spring football schedule to links from around the Pac-12. Christian is going to join us on the radio this afternoon in the 4 o'clock hour and discuss next week's spring start and WSU hoops. We have the link to listen at the bottom of this post, as usual. ... The Cougars will be back on the Beasley Coliseum court next on Monday, hosting Wyoming in the CBI's second round. ... Former WSU reserve kicker Blake Dunn has resurfaced at Fresno State. ... Maybe the best read today is about a Husky fan whose allegiances have changed - for one day. ... Jon Wilner isn't a Johnny Dawkins fan.
• Idaho: The Vandals will travel to Logan to take on WAC rival Utah State when the CIT continues next week. ... New Mexico State was one-and-done in the NCAAs as the Aggies lost to Indiana in Portland.
• Eastern Washington: The Big Sky bows out of the NCAA tournament following Montana's loss to Wisconsin.
• Chiefs: The home segment of the regular season finishes up tonight against Seattle.
• Seahawks: So far Seattle hasn't been a splash-maker in the free agent pool, but there's a good reason for that. The Seahawks have been busy with their free agents (inking Michael Robinson yesterday), which may be why an attempt to bring Steve Hutchinson back failed. ... One columnist thinks they really need Matt Flynn.
• Mariners: So, really, how many people can the Michael Saunders bandwagon hold this spring? Another one, Times columnist Jerry Brewer, jumped on yesterday. ... Does veteran Kevin Millwood have anything left, at least anything that can help the M's? ... The Mariners lost to San Francisco yesterday.
• Sounders: OK, the CONCACAF Champions League loss is behind them know – here are the semifinals – so the Sounders can start getting ready for MLS season. It dawns with high expectations.
• NBA: No particular reason to pass this along, but thought I would anyway. The Portland Trailblazers blew up the franchise yesterday, including dumping coach Nate McMillan.
• That's what we can pass along on this Friday morning. As we said above, we'll be on the radio today (you can listen here if you like) plus we're also going to spend some time at Gonzaga's NCAA women's media day. We'll be working there tomorrow – Kim will be with friends in her seats tucked into the corner of the lower bowl – so we have to do some legwork today. Until later ...

High-speed CMOS pipelined subranging ADC
Fan, Xianping
Date of Issue2006
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This dissertation presents a new 10-bit subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) dedicated for high-speed low-power application. The proposed architecture includes one coarse ADC plus two interleaved fine ADCs incorporating with pipeline and doubling sampling techniques. Contrasting to conventional subranging architectures, the system maximizes the throughput via elimination of extra idle time and eliminates a sample-andhold (S/H) circuit. Besides, a new sliding feedback capacitor technique, using time constant reduction concept, is proposed to enhance the speed of coarse ADC. A synchronized switch is introduced to minimize the sample-time mismatches so as to reduce nonlinearity arising from interleaving action. Other well-established circuit techniques like bottom-plate sampling, distributed sampling, autozeroing, and interpolation are employed for complete ADC design.

Unemployment inches up in state, Sacramento
Unemployment rates inched up in California and the Sacramento region last month, although job growth remained steady around the state.
California's unemployment rate grew to 5.5 percent in July, up one-tenth of a point, the Employment Development Department reported Friday.
However, employers added 36,400 payroll jobs statewide during the month, a sign that the California economy is still growing despite signs of a slowdown nationally. The unemployment rates and payroll statistics are derived from separate surveys and don't always move in tandem; economists generally look at the payrolls as the best indicator of how the economy is performing.
In Sacramento, unemployment jumped 0.2 of a point, to 5.8 percent. Payroll jobs shrank by 9,300, although seasonal factors were at play. The Employment Development Department said 12,400 public education jobs disappeared as schools downsized for the summer. Private schools shed an additional 700 jobs.
Retailers cut 500 jobs in July in greater Sacramento, although the leisure and hospitality sector added 1,000 jobs. Manufacturing added 1,200 jobs.

text: In the past, the CIO and CFO rode parallel but separate journeys to boardroom influence. Now, with the growth of data analytics and cloud-enabled ERP systems, as well as significant cybersecurity concerns, neither can afford to constantly lock horns over ownership of data and technology decision-making. Instead, they require a collaborative partnership in which each complements the other for maximum future impact. Read More

United Association of SA and Denel
The United Association of SA (Uasa) is seeking a mandate from workers at Denel about the legal action they want taken against the company for withholding their "self-funded" bonuses. The state-owned entity failed to pay employees the 13th cheque towards which they had contributed during 2017. The union also expressed concern about Denel's ability to pay employees their December salaries, as indications were that the financially unstable company's situation has deteriorated. Denel reacted by saying it was awaiting guidance from the Treasury before it could confirm when the payments would be made.
Feedback session for Uber drivers ends in standoff
A scheduled feedback session for Uber drivers fearing for their safety went wrong when the company called security, resulting in a standoff outside the Uber offices near the Cape Town International Airport. When asked if Uber had refused to engage with drivers and had sent security out instead, the company said it was "always willing to engage with drivers on an independent basis through the approved support channels". Group action is therefore not tolerated.
PSA to proceed with legal action
The Public Servants Association (PSA) is planning to continue with legal action against Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba to protect the pension investments of public servants. This will be despite a letter from Gigaba asking for a meeting in January with union leaders over the matter. Gigaba's continued failure to respond to the substance of the union's demands left it with no other option, the union said in a statement.
GEPF members lost more than R12bn in Steinhoff selloff
The Public Servants Association (PSA) has called for the safeguarding of pension investments, saying that more than R12 billion has been lost following allegations of accounting irregularities at Steinhoff.
800 jobs created in Limpopo by DTI's Black Industrialist Scheme
A R48 million grant from Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has created 800 jobs in Modjadjiskloof, Limpopo by a food manufacturing company. The grant came from the DTI's Black Industrialist Scheme, which aims at growing the global competitiveness of black-owned businesses. Agro-processing manufacturer Eastern Trading, which trades as Dursot All Joy, received the grant of R48 million. Dursot All Joy found a niche in the agro-processing sector to the investment value of R120 million. The R48 million grant afforded Dursot with the means of installing modern technology and their production outcome has tripled. Local farmers were also benefiting from the scheme.
Work the biggest cause of stress-related illnesses
According to the 2017 Profmed Stress Index, work remains one of the leading drivers of stress-related illnesses among South African professionals. The index, which is compiled from responses by nearly 3,000 of Profmed's professional membership base, revealed that apart from financial stresses, 45.5% of respondents still saw work as the biggest contributor to stress in their lives. The impact of work-related and financial stress can work hand in hand, as both can make an impact on a professional's lifestyle choices and quality of life. According to the survey, 10% of respondents indicated that they have taken time off from work due to stress-related illnesses over the past six months. This was a slight increase from the previous year's rating of 9.7%. Another area of concern was the increase in the number of professionals who indicated that they felt they were not managing stress effectively.
South African poultry association highlights work conditions in Brazil
The SA Poultry Association (Sapa) has voiced concern about reports of forced labour and inhuman conditions in Brazil's meat and poultry industries. Brazil is the world's largest exporter of chicken and is the main source of chicken imports to SA. The Washington-based Institute for Agriculture and Trade and Policy recently said that slave labour in Brazil's poultry sector was "endemic" and called for improved working conditions, labour rights and the implementation of employment contracts. Sapa's Charlotte Nkuna said that they would ask the government to seek an urgent comment from the Brazilian government about the allegations. "Thousands of South African workers have lost their jobs because of dumped chicken imports from countries, including Brazil, which has now been exposed as a country where workers are subject to degrading working conditions and forced labour," Nkuna stated. She said the government should implement an inspection requirement urgently, while Sapa would raise its concerns about reports of slave labour conditions with the International Poultry Council. SA and Brazil are members of the council. The SA poultry industry has blamed imports for local job losses and has accused the EU and other regions of dumping.
SARS has lost 506 employees during 2017
The SA Revenue Service (SARS) has lost 506 employees since the start of 2017. This was revealed in response to a parliamentary question enquiring about the extent of the brain drain at the agency and the reasons for employees leaving. The response revealed that SARS had lost nearly 7,500 years of experience since the start of the year. Of those who had left, one had a doctorate, 15 had masters' degrees, 24 had honours degrees and 88 people had degrees. Customer service, administration, and auditing lost the highest number of staff members, making up almost half of those who had left the organisation since the start of the year. Of those who left, 103 departed to pursue other career opportunities, another 81 declined to offer a reason, and 85 said they had left for personal reasons.
Vacant public service posts could affect service delivery
The public service could run into service delivery constraints in the next few years as a tenth of posts in national and provincial government departments are vacant. Up to 134,919 of the public service's 1,307,552 posts are vacant, according to the third quarter report on the public service by the Public Service Commission (PSC). In the period from July to end-September, 74,118 (55%) of the vacancies were at an administrative operating level, while 58,567 were for posts "at the coalface of service delivery", according to the commission. The public service also terminated 7,975 appointments compared with making 6,004 new appointments. This comes amid the Treasury's efforts to curb spending on the public service by freezing the posts. Observers have raised concern this could compromise delivery in key functions such as healthcare and education. The reasons for service terminations include retirement, resignations, abscondment, contract expiry, death and dismissals. With the pressure for service delivery at odds with the pressure to keep the public service wage bill contained, the Department of Public Service and Administration is expected to have a gruelling round of public wage negotiations.
Education wage bill
An analysis by the Financial Mail reveals that over the past three years provincial education departments have quietly shed 2,800 jobs, or 0.5% of their workforce, yet increased their collective spending on personnel by 22.3%. Their total compensation for employees, which included non-teaching personnel, rose from R135.6bn in 2013/2014 to R165.9bn in 2016/2017, while the head count fell from 519,817 to 517,018. The soaring wage bill is already crowding out spending on necessities such as textbooks. The lion's share of provincial education budgets is spent on personnel, most of whom are teachers, with allocations ranging from 82.4% of the total in KwaZulu-Natal to 72.7% in Gauteng. SA Democratic Teachers' Union (Sadtu) general secretary Maluleke Mugwena said the problem stemmed from the pay structure that was introduced to end a month-long public sector strike in 2007. This included an "occupation-specific dispensation", which was not fully budgeted for. Economist Mike Schüssler said the 2007 pay structure introduced so many promotional notches per salary level that a teacher could stay on the same salary level and get an extra percent every year for 20 years, over and above the inflation-linked pay increases nailed down in each wage settlement. As Treasury noted in the October medium-term budget policy statement, these progressions were intended to reward performance, but they have become largely automatic.
Auditing firm SekelaXabiso calls on MQA to review all contracts
Auditing firm SekelaXabiso has recommended that the Mining Qualifications Authority (MQA) board review all contracts in a bid to determine compliance with its procedures and its exposure to possible litigation, irregular expenditure or conduct. Advocate Boyce Mkhize advised that the MQA board should consider an independent forensic audit to investigate the source of bogus e-mails that had cast aspersions on the authority. He said this would help in dealing with reputational damage already caused to it. The recommendations come in the wake of claims of procurement irregularities, sexual harassment, improper recruitment, flouting of governance, bribery and fraud against the authority, which is responsible for the administration of skills development programmes in the mining and minerals sector.
. The MQA approached SekelaXabiso last November to investigate. Mkhize found various of the allegations to be without basis. He also cleared acting chief executive Tebogo Mmotla of sexual harassment, saying there was no evidence to support the allegation. He furthermore dismissed claims of alleged collusive relationship between Mmotla and acting chairperson Mthokozisi Zondi.
SA companies contributed R9 billion in corporate social investment in 2016/17
South African companies contributed R9 billion in corporate social investment (CSI) in 2016/2017, compared with that only R1.5bn that was achieved two decades ago. This information was revealed in the 20th annual publication of Business in Society Handbook, which was launched by CSI consultancy Trialogue. Of the R9bn in contributions, education accounted for almost half the CSI spend, and this was followed by social and community development and health. The critical mining, financial and retail sectors accounted for 62% of total CSI expenditure; and median CSI spend increased to R22 million from the R19m registered last year. The majority of CSI spend was allocated to the economic hubs of Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The proportion of companies (45%) that reported non-cash giving this year was also significantly higher than last year (35%). Companies mainly directed their CSI spending through non-profit organisations (NPOs), with the percentage of corporate giving to NPOs increasing to 89%, from last year's 82%.
Government and social partners take integrated healthcare services to Kuruman mineworkers
Mineworkers in the manganese-rich town of Kuruman, in the Northern Cape, are set to benefit from integrated healthcare and social services after government partnered with the mining industry and workers associations to launch a centre last Tuesday. The One Stop Health Service Centre is aimed at providing integrated services to both active and ex-mineworkers where TB and occupational lung disease assessments as well as administrative services for compensation will be delivered. The centre was opened by mineral resources deputy minister Godfrey Oliphant on Tuesday, on behalf of Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa. It is a collaboration by various stakeholders led by government and supported by captains of the mining industry, organised labour and current and ex-mineworker associations with the aim to de-centralise services to claimants and beneficiaries. One-Stop Centres are located in mining or labour-sending areas, and are designed to provide medical support to ex-mine workers. The centres also enable government to trace eligible previous and current mineworkers who have not claimed their compensation benefits after they contracted occupational lung disease during the time they were employed at mines.
Ageing Free State gold fields
TimesLive visited the city of Welkom and its neighbouring gold-mining towns and found evidence of a dying local economy' with a municipality trying hard to keep the facade from crumbling. In Welkom central' it is not easy to spot the telltale signs of a city in decline' but on the outskirts abandoned buildings and stripped-out shops tell a different story. Smaller towns like Virginia and Odendaalsrus once flourished but are now being abandoned in a slow migration to greener pastures. In the township of Thabong' sewage runs down several roads. Crime has picked up because every single street lamp along its main road has been cut down and sold for scrap' leaving residents in darkness. Thabong forms part of the Matjhabeng municipality' which has gained a reputation for being one of the worst-run municipalities in the country. Conservative estimates put the number of miners operating unlawfully in the abandoned shafts in and around Matjhabeng at several thousand. Near Virginia on the outskirts of Welkom' eight out of nine gold mines shut down in the late 1990s and early 2000s. An estimated 100'000 jobs were lost in the mining sector and support industries based in Welkom. Schalk van der Merwe of the Goldfields chamber of commerce and provincial chairman of the Small Business Institute commented that the entire gold fields area was rapidly deteriorating' and was an example of what other parts of the country could look like in five to 10 years.

HALO Coaching with Diane Eble,
Certified HALO Wellness Coach-Practitioner
What is
HALO stands for Harmonic Amplified Light Output, and is the name of the HALO
Light System invented by master chemist, Michael Thomas.
HALO is based on biophotonic science, which is the science of generating and harnessing light (photons) to image,
detect and manipulate biological materials. Biophotonic is an emerging area of scientific research that uses light
and other forms of radiant energy to understand the inner workings of cells and tissues in living
The HALO Light System is light therapy using a specific frequency of the violet spectrum to carry and deliver
the harmonic energies of the carefully selected botanicals contained within the HALO Systems
The light passes through vials that contain botanical extracts and picks up the harmonic vibrations of the
botanicals and transmits the photon and botanical energies into the body. The light is the delivery system that
brings the botanical energies and essences to the body, and the body responds as if the botanicals were actually
The harmonic energies of these botanicals increase cellular communication. The body knows what to do with these
energies and how to best distribute and heal the body. Light and botanicals do not heal or cure. Rather
the body itself is the miracle as it utilizes supplied energies from every source it can to aid in its
own healing process.
Here is a short video of Michael Thomas explaining biophotonic light
and what it does in the body.
With photon light therapy, you get 100% of the benefits of dozens of botanicals from around the world
with proven therapeutic properties. Nothing is lost through digestion, as is the case with supplements.
All the positive benefits of photon or light therapy combine with the power of active botanicals to produce
excellent results.
One of the main functions of the HALO therapy is to foster a healthy
microbiome in the body. This is done not only through shining the light directly into the body (under the
tongue, into the ear or nose) or onto the body. You receive the botanical goodness also by structuring water
and then introducing the botanical harmonies into the water. Drinking the water then fosters a healthy microbiome
in the body.
For more about the benefits of structured water, go here. Keep in mind that this just refers to structured water. With HALO you get these
benefits, plus the benefits of the botanicals which are fully absorbed by the body from the structured water.
For more about the specific benefits of HALO structured water, watch this video.
Below is a very interesting video of an independent party testing
the HALO with a Heart Rate Variability machine, which tests the response of the autonomic nervous
The Heart Rate Variability test is the "gold standard" for testing stress in the autonomic nervous
system. It's the same test Dr. Alex Loyd used to validate The Healing Codes, and is also used to test vagal tone. Increased vagal tone is correlated with better overall health, and scientists
are experimenting with stimulating the vagus nerve to improve conditions from drug addiction to rheumatoid arthritis.
In this test Dr. Michael Kessler and his team measured the physiological response of the test
subject before and after HALO treatment. (length: 17:38)
What many HALO users report:
Pain reduction or elimination within seconds in most cases.
A feeling of relief, stress reduction, calming sensation immediately post treatment lasting 6 to
12 hours and often longer.
A feeling of renewed vigor and vitality lasting for days.
The amazing thing about the HALO Systems is the increase in overall perceived "wellness" and added vitality not
just the reduction or elimination of pain. (I can personally attest to this!)

When you order a HALO
Light System from me at
www.plantsandlight.com, you will
get the following from me:
I offer both a Healing Codes and a HALO coaching session because I want
you to get the most out of your HALO Light System by clearing any "heart issues" that could keep you from actually
receiving all the goodness the HALO brings into your body.
You see, the "heart issues" such as an unforgiving or resentful attitude, fear,
unhealthy beliefs, negative images and memories can all block your cells from taking in the goodness from the HALO
Not that you have to heal ALL the heart issues, but a program of both
clearing the blocks to receiving, and then taking in the life-giving energy of the HALO botanicals, is what is
yielding downright miracles for some of my clients who have gotten the Halo and, like myself, have been
doing Healing Codes regularly.

what it needs to heal itself, and FROM the Source–God-created botanicals, delivered through light ("God is light .

which vial(s) to use.

That's going to be up to you and what we determine your needs are. My goals
are to make sure you feel confident of how to use the HALO for your situation, to know exactly which vials are best
for you to use now, and to understand enough about the HALO to continue to use it effectively for whatever comes
Please have your HALO kit ready for each session, and plan to take notes as we come up with your individualized
The best time is whenever you feel you need it. Some people
want help right away, some want to become familiar with their kit and use it for a few days or weeks.

your questions and attend at least 1-2 of the free QA coaching calls.

LONDON (CBS.MW) -- Dow industrials futures were heading lower on Friday as markets remained focused on the burst in crude oil prices.
The benchmark New York grade spiked to a fresh record at $49.27 a barrel in electronic-only ahead of 7 a.m. Eastern after closing Thursday at $48.70 bbl.
The oil price continues to be supported by supply disruption concerns, but there was little apparent news early Friday behind the latest uptick in the futures. The Associated Press reported al-Sadr followers were seeking a deal to leave the Najaf shrine after two weeks of fighting in the city.
"The uncertainty regarding Yukos, Venezuela and Iraq has given those traders going long oil plenty of ammunition this week," said Davy, an Irish broker, said Friday.
The shine started to come off Google's GOOG, +0.42% IPO debut in late trading on Thursday as the stock drifted to $99.85. The test lower wasn't holding in Europe, where the newly-minted stock was marked around $100.33 in thin trade, dealers in London said. GOOG traded at $100.38, up 4 cents on the ECNs.
The Dow futures were down 32 points at 10,011 Eastern. On a brighter note for the markets, shares of developer Rouse Co. RSE surged 33 percent to $67.10 on acquisition terms offered by shopping centers owner General Growth Properties GGP in a $12.6 billion deal. The transaction calls for General Growth to swap $67.50 in cash for each Rouse share. See more
WPP WPPGY, the U.K. ad giant, offered a guarded outlook on corporate spending prospects, noting "concerns remain. about the prospects for the U.S. economy after the presidential election. Whoever is elected will have to deal with a substantial fiscal deficit, a weak dollar and risks of inflation, not aided by high oil and commodity prices."
Semiconductor equipment stocks are an expected focus after a disappointing July book-to-bill overnight. Asia chip stocks saw some selling overnight. In Europan trade, ASML ASML, +0.15% and DRAM-maker Infineon Technologies IFX were each down over 1 percent.
The July book-to-bill ratio, a measure of orders to deliveries, was 1.05, below some analyst estimates.
"The reading of 1.05 was not likely to boost the high tech stocks that have recently been on a weakening trend," said Tetsuya Ishijima, investment strategist at Okasan Securities in Tokyo. See Asia Markets
Trade group SEMI said: "The bookings and billings values for North American-based equipment companies have stabilized at high levels and support our global billings outlook for the second highest revenue year on record for our industry."
Focus stocks
WPP Group is still considering an acquisition of Grey Global Group GREY, the world's seventh largest ad agency, Chief Executive Martin Sorrell said Friday in interviews after WPP posted a 6 percent rise in June half year profits. A deal, which has been anticipated, is expected to be valued at around $1.3 billion. Shares were last down 1.8 percent in London at 485.50 pence. Sorrell said he was "impressed with" Grey Global, AFX News reported. French group Havas HAVS has been seen as a contender for Grey as well.
Elsewhere in the sector, ad group Publicis PUB, +0.46% gained 2.1 percent after being picked to replace Aventis in the CAC 40.
Shares of China.com CHINA dipped more than 2 percent to $4.40 after the company said its Go2joy mobile applications unit has been hit with sanctions by the Chinese government.
Mylan Labs MYL, -1.69% attributed a 10.4 percent spike in its shares Thursday to the announcement of Carl Icahn's purchase plans. It also added: "Based on the uncertainties for the industry caused by these rulings, Mylan does not believe that investors can reasonably rely on current Street estimates at this time. Mylan intends to provide its earnings guidance as soon as practically possible."
General Motors GM, -0.39% is trimming North American production by 5 percent this quarter, at least in part because large dealers are cutting back on orders for 2005 models, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Friday. The stock was marked a few cents lower in thin trade at $41.38 in Frankfurt.
Lehman Brothers overnight raised its rating of a handful of oil services stocks, citing higher oil prices and a stronger outlook for E&P spending in 2004 and 2005. The broker lifted shares of Cooper Cameron CAM, Core Labs CLB, +0.02%, Tidewater TDW, -0.20% and Oceaneering International OII, -0.63% to overweight from equal weight. Lehman also raised Smith International SII equal weight from underweight. It downgraded shares of FMC Technologies FTI, -0.17% to equal weight from overweight.
"We think that oil could decline materially from today's level with minimal impact on E&P spending. We believe that the long-tern global moderate growth cycle is intact with oil above $30 per barrel and natural gas above $5 per mcf," the broker told clients.
Merrill Lynch Friday upgraded its rating on oil major Royal Dutch/Shell RD SC, -0.14% to buy from neutral, citing in part its expectation that disposals at the group over 2004 and 2005 could reach $15 billion. Shell is expected in November to detail its review into corporate structure. Shell has this year announced a handful of divestments and in July announced plans to sell its 50 percent stake in the Basell chemical venture with BASF that has been valued at around $7 billion.
Overnight, shares of Autodesk ADSK, -0.56% gained more than 7 percent to $40 after the design software firm easily topped second-quarter targets, crediting its performance to increasing market penetration of its 3-D products and "broad adoption" of its AutoCAD 2005 family of products.

Fighter Wins Octagon Debut with Dazzling KO Kick, Retires Immediately AfterJune 13, 2018
While the big story coming out of Tuesday's installment of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series was Greg Hardy's emphatic and problematic success, the ex-NFLer wasn't the only one that turned heads in MMA. UFC hopeful Chris Curtis dropped fans' jaws when he broke Sean Lally's with a vicious, Shawn Michaels-esque superkick.
That was a high point for a staple of New England's regional scene...but unfortunately, it was followed by a series of lower lows.
Following the announcement that the UFC president was inexplicably unwilling to give Curtis a UFC contract (a regular prize for winning on the show), the competitor discovered that he had broken his hand in the first round of the fight and required surgery to repair the damage. With a major procedure looming and an official UFC debut not forthcoming, he announced his retirement on Facebook just hours after scoring one of the most impressive victories of his career:
"Well I broke my hand in the first and that's going to require surgery soooo super. But I would like to thank everyone who has shown me love and supported me and helped caery my dream for eleven long years. I cannot tell you what that means to me, but I now officially announce my retirement from MMA. I will keep you guys posted but thank you for now and godbless."
That's a sad series of events for Curtis.
The Action Man, 19-5 in his professional career, has smashed opponents across a number of promotions, most notably CES MMA. He has faced remarkably stiff competition on the regional scene and come out on top more often than not. A strong case can be made that he should have been brought directly into the UFC given his experience and success.
Alas, instead it seems that he may be poised to retire. Though it's certainly possible that the itch will return in a few months' time, it's a shame that things had to pan out this way at all.

You have probably been there… vomit on your clothes or worse… Baby poop is no joke! Especially when it happens and you are no where near home! Even better when you left the diaper bag at home (I admit I never made this mistake ever again, it's a mistake you make only once).
*Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. Please visit our disclosure page to find out more information about this disclaimer.
There are some things you just can't prepare for as a new parent, then there's situations like projectile vomiting and blow outs (and I don't mean the brazilian kind) that you can prepare for to minimize the damage. In this guide, I will put together a Mommy's car survival kit for these very situations. It'll be a quick packing list of items you can store in your car. It's been my lifesaver and I know it will be yours too!
Packing a Mommy's Car Survival Kit
The first, and last time, I ever accidentally left the diaper bag at home was my oldest son's first trip to the mall. A little history about him… he was exclusively breast fed and struggled with having bowel movements. It was pretty safe to assume that if he did poop, it would be certainly a blowout.
It happened inside Dillard's and my Mom was holding him. She looked over at me, with a little bit of fear across her face and she told me, "I think he's doing something…" Then a rumble happened and I'm sure the sales associate across the store could hear. He was in an adorable Carter's white one-piece that soon turned to mustard yellow. It was all over his back and down his legs. I'm laughing as I write this but it sure wasn't funny when it was happening. It was everywhere. Since I forgot the diaper bag, I also forgot diapers so my son then pee'd on his car seat on the way home. I had so much fun to clean his car seat and my car's not-leather seats of pee.
Had I had a survival kit in my car, I probably would've saved some money as I had to buy new clothes for my little guy and a shirt for me and time from cleaning those obnoxious child car seats. Plus, this survival kit is applicable for toddlers and older kids too (husbands included!). Here's what you need to get yourself packed and ready for your child's inevitable messy moments!
First you'll need a medium size container that fits in your trunk without taking up too much room. This could be a x-large lunch box, large paper bag, small duffel/gym bag, medium size plastic storage bin.

Meanwhile, Texans are concerned about the political and violent themes of Robert Rodriguez' Machete, especially since that controversial Cinco de Mayo trailer that bashed Arizona's new witch-hunt-like immigration law. Florida also recently had some controversy regarding its attempt at censoring film productions, which was viewed as against homosexuals. Other states merely frown upon movies that are or might be deemed pornographic (or simply rated NC-17). But the people of these states aren't so much worried about the tourism industry; they mostly just don't want their tax dollars to go towards films they disagree with.Compared to New York, California, or Texas, Minnesota and Wisconsin do not have nearly as many films set or shot here. But for those that do, the tendency is not to portray Minnesotans and Wisconsinites as dangerous and full of drug dealers and murderers (Wisconsin's many serial killers notwithstanding) but as beer drinking, gun toting, religion clinging idiots. Consider North Country, Fargo, The Great Outdoors, Grumpy Old Men, Milwaukee, Minnesota, and New in Town.

NOTE: This article contains SPOILERS for "All-Star Batman" #1
Fans have been kept largely in the dark on the plot of DC's brand new Dark Knight series, knowing only that "All-Star Batman" would be giving writer Scott Snyder a new chance to tell a different kind of Batman story, calling upon a variety of artists not quite possible on his previous run on the character. But the hopes and expectations of seeing Snyder taking charge of a title dubbed "All-Star" – when most of his "Batman" tales in DC's New 52 would have been deserving of an "all-star" badge in their own rite – was never going to be kept in check. And with the first issue, Bruce Wayne's road trip of treachery and betrayal with Two-Face at his side seems poised to be a story worth remembering. But it wasn't the only story begun in the issue.
Along with the Two-Face story came a back-up addition, beginning with Bruce Wayne and his new ally/sidekick/partner, Lark (formerly known as Duke Thomas). The partnership had begun in "Batman: Rebirth" as Snyder handed writing duties off to Tom King, but from the first chapter offered here – and the "secret history" teased by Batman himself - it appears fans of the caped crusader and his past allies and sidekicks may have another irresistible reason to get on board "All-Star Batman."
To get your own glimpse of the secret, we're breaking down the closing chapter, dubbed "The Cursed Wheel," and what connections it may have to other fan-favorite members of the Batman Family.
Duke Thomas a.k.a Lark
For those who may have followed Snyder to "All-Star" and missed out on the beginning of the story, we'll keep it short. "Batman: Rebirth" #1 featured Bruce recruiting Duke (Gotham youth vigilante and possible Robin in an alternate future) into the Batcave, agreeing with the young man that he didn't intend to make him his sidekick or second-stringer. In other words, the star of the "We Are Robin" comic series, in which young do-gooders adopt the idea of Batman's sidekick for themselves, doesn't actually need a Dark Knight to play the role. But it isn't a future as 'Robin' that Bruce is aiming for, explaining that he's "trying something new," with later scenes showing that his bond with Duke was beginning as equals from the outset; not as a child to be mentored, as had been the case with Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon… take your pick.
That's the exact moment that "All-Star" begins its back-up feature, showing what happens after the scene (in "Rebirth," the action was interspliced with a strange new Calendar Man attack). But readers had no idea that the clarification of Duke's training would be followed by the one teased in "All-Star," as Batman begins by telling Duke that the next year of his life will be spent in training. Not training to be Batman's sidekick, but the training "that comes next."
The Cursed Wheel
The "training" is represented in a fairly… unexpected way. Not as writing, diagrams, or regimented disciplines, but a circle of fragmented colors. A circle that Alfred has come to call "The Cursed Wheel" – after all, Bruce Wayne's faithful servant and Bat-ally helped him to create it. In short, the Wheel is a condensed version of the lifetime of training and discipline Bruce underwent before becoming the Bat (combined with the wisdom Alfred all-too-often offers into villains, their motivations, and the sides of humanity that Bruce is usually blind to). Arranged in sequence, the Wheel would, in theory, take a potential crimefighter through the hardest truths, and the most necessary ones, all needed to become the analytical, truth-seeking and unshakable figure that Batman has become. At least, that seems to be the plan.
But before Duke can even respond with whether or not he'd be interested in undertaking the process, Batman reveals that he wouldn't be the first to do so.
The Sidekicks Who Came Before
Any longtime fan of the Batman Family could point to some formative moments or missions for every sidekick or ally, from Tim Drake down to Damian Wayne. Moments that dispelled their illusions about criminals, evil, or superheroics (perhaps scarring them in the process). But as Snyder's Batman now reveals, not all of them were aware that they were being put through The Cursed Wheel as they did so. And, Bruce teases, not all of them wound up heroes by being exposed to the wheel's horrible truths: one became a villain. Duke suggests Jason Todd, the former Robin turned Red Hood, but Batman shoots it down. Unfortunately, that new tease will have to wait.
The most interesting part of Batman's brief explanation is that it's the colors that matter, since they should be familiar to any reader. There are the blues adopted by Dick Grayson for his ascent into Nightwing, the purple chosen by Barbara as the color of Batgirl, and the green of Damian (and, possibly, the red of Jason, and the yellow of the brand new Lark). The choices are no accident, but an indication of the parts of the wheel which most clearly connect to these heroes, linking them together as separate, but inescapable parts of a whole – as Bruce puts it, "a secret history" their experiences form in total.
And with Duke now prepared to start his own Wheel turning, the grisly scene that opens the 'present' part of the story will be what's needed to get him through the worst… and the first.
The Black
It only seems right that in the world of Scott Snyder's Batman, the color of the Bat himself should come first, as the hardest, cruelest, and most challenging part of the Wheel to be faced. As Batman explains, the first lesson (which, apparently, Bruce took as his own color?) is about one thing: evil, pure and simple. And not abstract evil, either: but the evil of one human to another. And more importantly, the ability to see through the madness, and mindless evil done by one person to another to answer the real question that drives the World's Greatest Detective: "why you?"
The first lesson happens to coincide with Bruce and Duke's first case together (how fortunate), arriving in a colored-cloth-encircled table of high end fabric importers, stripped, sliced, and left for dead. It's a dark scene, driven home by its closing image of one of the victims crying out for the release of death, opening the wounds left behind by the killer. It's a cliffhanger if there ever was one, but a somewhat unnecessary one – readers fond of Snyder's many insights, updates, and contributions to the growing Batman mythology will already be hooked.

How do we treat ourselves when faced with both internal and external criticisms? Do we all have a different experience with this topic? Editorial You is the second full-length album by the Minneapolis-based two-piece, Strange Relations, and it breaches these relevant questions.
The first dive into the album is crafted as "Evidence" begins, and it displays the overall essence in its 2 minutes and 23 seconds. It can best be described as ethereal in its highs, and somber in its lows. The second track, "Say You", invokes feelings similar to a synchronized dance. It's teasing the listener with Casey Sowa's vocals, and tempting you into the rest of the album. The lyrics introduce the overarching message of ups and downs prevalent in the state of the world today.
The diary rock band consists of Sowa (drums/vocals) and her girlfriend Maro Helgeson (bass/synth). They released their Going Out EP in 2016, which followed their first full-length, Centrism, released in 2015. The newest full-length, Editorial You, feels like reading through a dream journal, piece by piece, following along with the protagonist through their most profound sensitivities.
As you continue through the album, "LIN" and "NBE" both have a darker, more ethereal sound powered by Helgeson's synth. They're pulling you into the depths of low self-esteem, and letting the bad guys win for just a moment. The overall dreary or downward pull to the album are most apparent musically in these tracks. At one point, I also have to pause and ask myself if I'm listening to a group that has been influenced in some way by early Tegan & Sara and Garbage.
Sowa and Helgeson put themselves out there as they, and women everywhere, are learning how to defend themselves in a world that has more and more to say about women's overall place in the world. This grappling feeling of self-worth is demonstrated in the variations of each song.
A track that seems to be a crowd favorite is "Flight Instinct," where Sowa continues a plea to the world, saying, "If I don't like a truth, is there a way to change it?" What is most impactful in this album is the sneaking confidence that threads each track together. The entire album feels like a push and pull, a true battle with self-love, reminding us all to be extra gentle with ourselves, regardless of the hardships that any of us are facing here and now.
