Friends Fall Out
Nobody is more adept at the art of losing friends and influence than Libya's Muammar Gaddafi. Barely days after his ill-starred Chad adventure, the Libyan Government was brusquely asked to close up diplomatic shop in Sierra Leone following the severing of diplomatic relations between Freetown and Tripoli. Sierra Leone's action followed close on the heels of a concentrated barrage of criticism in the Libyan press directed at the Freetown Government but observers believe there is more to it than that.
The answer could lie in another similar imbroglio involving the Libyan mission in Portugal. The Portuguese Government, according to reports, is almost certain to expel a large number of Libyan diplomats in protest against their attempts to influence Portuguese internal affairs, including heavy doses of Libyan petrodollars in various newspapers and magazines which have since, not surprisingly, adopted a definite pro-Libyan stance. Libya has also succeeded in establishing close contacts with several senior leftwing officers in the Portuguese army which would explain the large Libyan diplomatic presence in Lisbon even though there is no trade between the two countries.
Plain Speaking About A Plane
Defence Ministry sources have confirmed, however, that the prime minister had a rather devious reason for cold-shouldering the Mirage deal, at least in Paris. Apart from certain technical drawbacks, the Mirage 2000 has one major handicap - its excessively high price tag of around Rs 30 crore per aircraft. By queering, the Mirage pitch in Paris Mrs Gandhi was merely applying a little not-so-subtle arm-twisting in order to get the French to offer India better terms than what they are offering now, in fact, as good as what the Soviets offered last year for their arms package. The terms India is angling for include a no, or rock-bottom, cost-escalation clause and credit repayable over a protracted period at low interest rates. France is willing to offer credit but at terms not acceptable to India. Gandhi's act was merely an attempt to beat the French at their own game.
Calling All Spies
France's Service de Documentation Exterieure et de Contre-espionage (SDECE), its well-known intelligence apparatus, is heading for a major shake-up under its new boss, Pierre Marion. The shake-up is being conducted at the express orders of President Mitterand who has been incensed at the alarming amount of disinformation being fed back from SDECE agents in Africa. He was particularly annoyed at the false information from Chad which stated that Libyan troops had arrived in the capital to overthrow President Oueddei. He was even more upset at reports that SDECE agents in Tripoli had informed Libyan leaders that France was about to launch an armed intervention in Chad.
Obviously, the reports had emanated from free-wheeling agents acting on their own and was a hangover from the internal coteries that had surfaced in previous years. While an official enquiry into the Chad incident has been launched, a massive streamlining operation has started with special focus on Africa and former SDECE agents based there. Already, there are signs that these agents were conducting operations often without official sanction from Paris and most of them are likely to be recalled or retired from the field. The urgency of the shake-up is significant in that Africa is of vital importance to the socialist government in France.
On The Horns Of A Dilemma
Western interests in the Horn of Africa are being seriously threatened following events that could possibly lead to the overthrow of Somalian President Siad Barre. Allegations of corruption and incompetence have now reached a crescendo and it is unlikely that Barre can step down without defusing the political tension prevalent in his country. A larger threat comes from anti-government guerrillas based in Ethiopia and financed by Libya. Somalia plays a major role in western plans for the critical Gulf region and the establishment of a pro-Libyan or pro-Moscow government could throw a large spanner in the works. Consequently, the Americans are frantically casting around for a possible successor to Barre should he be forced out of the saddle. Two leading contenders are Abdullah Addoh, the finance minister who was Somalia's ambassador in Washington for many year and is well liked by the Americans, and General Omar Massaleh, the defence minister and commander of the armed forces. Recent CIA reports indicate that a revolution is eminent in Somalia if Barre remains in power, thus seriously hampering US plans of reliable bases for their Rapid Deployment Force.
Coping With Castro
Last month, two letters published simultaneously in The Washington Post and The New York Times carried a familiar name at the end - Fidel Castro. In what was a highly unusual and intriguing act, Castro had written to the two newspapers complaining, that reports of Cuban troops in Nicaragua were "a campaign of falsehood and lies". Intelligence analysts, however, are convinced that Castro's actions are in response to US Secretary of State Alexander Haig's recent remarks regarding possible measures against Cuba and Nicaragua. Haig's remarks may have been mere sabre-rattling to stop the two countries from supporting guerrillas in El Salvador but analysts are convinced that Castro interpreted it as a stern warning that the US administration would not hesitate to retaliate against Cuba if he steps out of line and it obviously has not gone unheeded.

David Gregory famously defended the media, widely seen as having fallen down on the job in the run-up to the Iraq war, with this: "I think there are a lot of critics who think that . . . . if we did not stand up and say this is bogus, and you're a liar, and why are you doing this, that we didn't do our job. I respectfully disagree. It's not our role."
Nope. His role was to ask questions like this of President Bush:
"Mr. President, good evening. If you order war, can any military operation be considered a success if the United States does not capture Saddam Hussein, as you once said, dead or alive?"
And his hard-driving follow-up:
"Sir, I'm sorry, is success contingent upon capturing or killing Saddam Hussein, in your mind?"
Brilliant. As Oliver Willis wrote:
That's it. He just asked, will it be awesome if Hussein is captured, or just kind of awesome. He doesn't ask, if it's a good idea, or what the president thinks of the opposition to the war, or the fact that most at the time didn't support intervention without U.N. support.
So we know how Gregory thinks those in power should be treated. But what about the rest of us? Does he show the proper reverence for the views of U.S. citizens? Take a guess. (Derived from actual quotes:)
No matter how heinous the issue, David Gregory will find a way to trivialize it. He is a prince among other hacks, like Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, who so distinguished themselves during the election debates.
With people like these in the so-called mainstream, it almost seems unreasonable to pick on the pundits at Fox News.

Digby has posted the full text of David Broder's April 26 piece called, "Stop Scapegoating." It is an appalling argument, one Glenn Greenwald has rightly called "a tour de force of Beltway sickness – even for him." Here is a representative excerpt from Broder's response to calls for investigations into those who justified and ordered torture:
. . . now Obama is being lobbied by politicians and voters who want something more — the humiliation and/or punishment of those responsible for the policies of the past. They are looking for individual scalps — or, at least, careers and reputations.
Their argument is that without identifying and punishing the perpetrators, there can be no accountability — and therefore no deterrent lesson for future administrations. It is a plausible-sounding rationale, but it cloaks an unworthy desire for vengeance.
The "voters" to Broder are those over-emotional filthy masses who cannot see reason and will erupt into violence at any moment. They want vengeance, you see. Not justice. What justice would it be to make our political class accountable for their grotesque crimes?
Broder has a long history of making such specious arguments on behalf of the powerful. As Digby shows, Broder was defending Richard Nixon in 1969 against those miscreants who wanted to "break the President."
This, bizarrely, is how Broder then described the anti-war movement:
There is . . . a vital distinction . . . to be made between the constitutionally protected expression of dissent, aimed at changing national policy, and mass movements aimed at breaking the President by destroying his capacity to lead the nation or to represent it at the bargaining table.
Anyone familiar with Doonesbury will remember the anti-Vietnam war student, "Megaphone" Mark Slackmeyer, who threatened the Establishment with protests, the occupation of the university president's building, and the like. Thirty years later, Slackmeyer has yet another kind of establishment to contend with.

There have been complaints in the blogosphere that Chuck Todd is being his usual hackish self in trivializing the discussion of torture, calling it a "political food fight" and blaming the so-called "hard left and hard right" for making a big deal over nothing.
It's not his fault. He can't help simply repeating what other pundits say. Because journalism isn't his field — he is actually that guy that manages Flight of the Conchords.

Women and girls make up nearly half of the 258 million people worldwide who have crossed international borders to escape danger or pursue opportunity. Amidst unprecedented levels of forced displacement – with 68.5 million people driven from their homes by the end of 2017 – about half of refugees, too, are women and girls.

Syrian Arab Republic
Refugee women and girls face extraordinary hardships. They endure grave risks and often brutal violence, and many are thrust into poverty. But they can also face another, more intimate, hardship, one that is seldom discussed - the effects of exile on their sexual and reproductive health.
MADRID - The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today welcomed a €700,000 contribution from the Government of Spain to support the health and nutritional status of pregnant and breastfeeding women in warn-torn Syria. WFP will use the Spanish contribution to improve women's access to fresh food items in order to improve their diet.
NABATIEH, Lebanon - In late 2013, Haneen, now 14, fled Syria with her parents and 10 siblings. As her family made its way to the Turkish border, her father sustained injuries that left him paralyzed. Fearing he could no longer feed his 11 children or protect his daughters, he married Haneen, then 13, off to a middle-aged Turkish man.

"Here we are, in Spain." Caren Beilin's travelogue lays out a new path for the genre. Spain is sly cultural criticism (Blanchot to The Shining), feminist wink, post-breakup corrective, and portrait of the artist as a young mansplained woman. Our narrator finds herself, skeptically, at an artist residency in Spain, rendering her life into vivid fragments that pop and sting. With acerbic flair, Beilin swings an axe into the stuff of memoir. "I don't care to dine with anyone," she proclaims. Reader, pull up a chair.
Caren Beilin is the author of the novel, The University of Pennsylvania (Noemi Press, 2014) and a collection of short fictions, Americans, Guests, or Us (New Michigan Press, 2012). Her work appears in Fence, The Offing, and Territory. She is a reviews editor at Full Stop Magazine and teaches at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in the Berkshires.
Reviews, Excerpts, Praise:
The Believer
Fence blog
Full Stop
Wolfman New Life Quarterly
The Coil Magazine
While the other art colonists around her "are making the world soft"—photographers setting daylong exposures and textile artists felting cocoons—Caren Beilin's Spain is hard: made and re-made in its mosaic shards. Abject, affronted, and audacious, the resilient narrator, who incidentally might faint at a thought, if it's a rigorous thought, who might then rouse wherever, in the company of countryside sheep, is on the perilous cusp of insight on multiple fronts. She looks up from her book in her book to assert that form is a better heroine than Emma in Madame Bovary, and proceeds to "read against what was happening." The beginning of the end of fiction.
—Brian Blanchfield
Caren Beilin's Spain is like a Hostel-ization of Ben Lerner's Leaving the Atocha Station. Beilin's protagonist isn't in Spain on a Fulbright. Rather, she's paying her own way at a dubious artist residency with the proceeds of a defunct relationship with an older, wealthy man. Spain is a fantastic, poetic, and realistic account of travel in a post-travel world.
—Chris Kraus
Spain is a genre-bending document of the narrator's female, migratory writing life through the wounded, binoculative, molested soul of her nipples. Spain is stuffed with poetic axing, bicycling, pussying, traveloguing, Rilke-ing, Claire Denis-ing, reading, anti-Spain-ing. This highly inventive, highly imaginative book relentlessly disrupts the contemporary order of memoir writing. Beilin goes to the moon and back, and is not afraid to be scandalous or poetic or whimsical or ethical at a moment's notice.

Buffet Partnership letters 1956-1969
I've just done a rather quick reread of all the Buffet Partnership letters which I found via Market folly and Above Average Odds Investing. Some observations:
- The simplicity and consistency of performance measurement are delightful,
- The humor and understatement are classic,
- The sections regarding specific positions – always those that had been closed by the time the letter was sent – are perhaps the most interesting,
- The categorization of investment types (Generals, Workouts and Control) gives a bit of flavor for the way WEB was thinking about opportunities, and
- From several comments it can be gleaned that the number of positions in the portfolio was rather limited. At one point in the 60's one position accounted for 40% of the entire portfolio, the maximum allowed under the partnership agreements.
What are the takeaways for my own investing? The most important one is that my portfolio is not focused enough. I have had between 45 and 55 positions at any one time during the past year. On reading the WEB partnership levels I realize this is too many. It's not compatible with out-performance. I am diversifying myself back to 'average'. And besides, one person can't reasonably be expected to follow 50 companies, not to speak of uncovering new investment ideas. Unfortunately, the current dispersion of my portfolio probably reflects the dispersion of my thought process and allows a low-level of commitment for each position. If on the one hand each small position can't really hurt a portfolio's performance, on the other it can't really help either. I am tempted to create a minimum size of, say, 2% for any single position in my portfolio (except maybe for microcaps where a little bit more diversification is needed). Well, I'm tempted, but perhaps not really ready for that kind of discipline yet. But I will set myself a goal along these lines: reduce my current portfolio to 40 positions by the end of the next quarter and then to 30-35 by the end of the following quarter. This will accomplish two things: force me to 1) focus on which of my present investments are the best, and 2) be more disciplined about the analysis behind each position.

School governors are people who want to make a positive contribution to children's education.
Governors are one of the largest volunteer forces in the country and have an important part to play in raising school standards. The role of the governing board is absolutely key to the effectiveness of a school.

First and foremost we will need to have a clarification over phrases equivalent to culture, id and cultural identity which leads us to the American cultural identity and its elements. There are as many patterns of interactions as there are teams of people that interact. It's because each culture is normally associated primarily with a specific facet of one's life. Collective id will not be in battle with personal identification as every American has its own identification while the whole Individuals has a particular collective id by which they are distinguished from the British folks.
Cultural id is the identification of a group, culture or of an individual as far as one is influenced by one's belonging to a group or culture. For the person, the identification derived from the collective shapes part of his or her private identity." (three) The grasp forces of collective identity are nationality, ethnicity, faith, gender, occupation and decadent culture.
Personal id, social id and collective identification are the most recognizable ones. Our knowledge and beliefs concerning the day-to-day actions of organizational life are powerfully formed by how we're taught to see ourselves in relation to prospects, prime managers, other departments, and different enterprise associates.
The number of interactions and the way forcefully people advocate for his or her positions and press for options and choices can then be correlated with factors such because the character types of the supervisor and workers, their stage of delegated authority, their diploma of self-interest, their length of tenure, the breadth of experience they have had working within the group, and other key components.
The museums also house a high quality assortment of medals and arm, as these are objects of princely states with sections on Archaeology, Anthropology, Tribal and folk arts depicting completely different concepts and scopes in the patterns of Art and Culture.
The matters and articles listed right here provide data on major and primary Buddhism beliefs, Catholic and Christian beliefs, Hinduism beliefs, Chinese religion, Islam and Muslim beliefs, Elizabethan period superstitions, and so forth.
Chinese Culture
Occasionally the erotic power alternate (BDSM) group seems to be on the gay group with a certain amount of envy, because of the truth that the latter has achieved fairly a bit in the case of general understanding for and acceptance of various life. These patterns of interaction are almost at all times on autopilot and based on the tacit assumptions and unquestioned beliefs of the work-group's or larger group's culture. Articles in this part present info on Germany, Germany tourism and function a travel guide on vacation spots and must-go to destinations in the nation.
They are the original inhabitants of the USA Native Individuals are from the North American area and are indigenous folks which include distinct tribes, ethnic teams and states. English language is without doubt one of the parts that for my part have formed the American cultural id.
Whereas most individuals consider organizational culture in broad, sociological phrases, the cultural model described in this article argues that patterns of interplay between small-teams of 2s, 3s, and 4s are a number of the basic constructing blocks of organizational culture. For example, one might be part of Catholic culture while additionally being a part of the American culture. Then cultural identity is a collective identity. Symmetric interactions are primarily based on an assumption of equality that has been tacitly agreed to by the participants that tries to attenuate the variations between the participants.
When people see that they're free to decide on whatever they need beneath the liberalism umbrella, then they feel they're Americans and so they recognize themselves as People. On this web page, you shall discover articles on tattoos from various cultures along with their rich history and significance.

On tap: Greenspan Stocks ease as Internets heat up
By Kevin N. Marder, CBS MarketWatch Last Update: !(UPDATEDEN){(MODDATE)})}
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. stocks fizzled Monday despite the release of another raft of better-than-expected second-quarter earnings reports from Corporate America.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.89% dipped 42.22 points, or 0.5 percent, to 9,295.75.
Last week, the Dow climbed 232.23 points, or 2.6 percent, in its best showing in three weeks.
The gauge is up about 18 percent on a year-to-date basis.
According to earnings compiler First Call Inc., companies releasing better-than-forecast earnings Monday outnumbered corporations posting negative profits surprises by 7 to 1.
"Earnings, relative to where expectations were a couple of months ago, don't look that good," said Liz Ann Sonders, who helps manage $3.3 billion as managing director at Avatar Associates. "More than 50 percent of the companies that have reported have not beaten the original expectations. They beat ratcheted-down expectations.
"The reason why that doesn't make me necessarily negative on the market is that periods of deteriorating earnings historically have not been negative for the market," Sonders continued. "It has meant a Federal Reserve on the sidelines. And a low interest rate environment tends to be an environment where you can justify expanded valuations. We as investors price companies on forward-looking earnings."
As for Asia, Sonders doesn't think "we're out of the woods yet."
"The positive to that is it keeps the Fed on the sidelines," she said. "And that is the most powerful driving force to the market."
On this week's slate, the markets will watch Tuesday's congressional testimony by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan for hints as to the Fed's posture on credit policy. The Fed chief will speak to the Senate Banking Committee as part of his semiannual Humphrey-Hawkins address. Wednesday, Greenspan will appear before a House banking subcommittee. See full story.
Otherwise, little of consequence is on the economic calendar until the tail end of July, when the second-quarter employment cost index is released. The ECI is a key gauge of labor costs, which are vital in assessing the prospects for price inflation.
Inside Monday's market, benchmark technology issues, up 9 percent on average over the past two weeks, maintained their impressive ascent, led by feverish accumulation in Internet-related names $iix .
Many Web plays had spent the last two weeks digesting their beefy June run-up, which saw some double in value.
Elsewhere, telecommunications stocks $xtc connected for more gains.
Meanwhile, the drug group responded to Warner-Lambert's wla Street-beating earnings report by pushing higher.
The broader market performed in line with a Dow off 42 points.
"I think the market's breadth is certainly a concern," said Richard Dickson, technical analyst at Scott & Stringfellow Inc. "But historically, breadth has not been particularly useful as a precise timing tool. Bad breadth can go on for quite a while before you see some sort of a turn in the market.
"I think the problem that the market's having right now is that you're starting to see some profit-taking," Dickson said. "And now you're beginning to see a little bit of an excess in bullish sentiment.
"But the momentum is there to carry this thing higher."
Abby Joseph Cohen, Goldman Sachs' widely-followed market strategist, hiked her price target for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +1.00% to 1,250 from 1,200.
The S&P 500 Index fell 0.2 percent to 1,184.10.
New York Stock Exchange losers outran winners by 17 to 12. New 52-week highs came to 128, while there were 78 new 52-week lows.
On the Big Board floor, turnover slackened 10 percent to 559 million shares.
The Nasdaq Composite $compq advanced 0.3 percent. Advancing issues lagged decliners by 22 to 21 in the Nasdaq Stock Market, with 159 new highs and 135 new lows. Volume totaled719 million shares.
In the prices rose on technical factors as traders anticipated Tuesday's congressional testimony by Greenspan. Trading was thin.
"Today's action is a technical bounce on volume that is one-half of the average," said Tony Crescenzi, chief bond market strategist at Miller Tabak Hirsch. "The market appears to be discounting a dovish Fed."
The 30-year Treasury rose 14/32, to yield $tyx 5.717 percent.Since hitting a short-term peak of 6.07 percent on April 29, the long bond's yield has fallen to a low of 5.57 percent on July 6 amid Asia's festering economic crisis.
The July 6 yield was the lowest since the government began to regularly offer the 30-year issue in 1977.
In special situations, SunTrust Banks (STI) STI, +1.66% will buy Crestar Financial (CF) CF, -0.80% in a $9.5 billion exchange of stock. Shares of SunTrust fell 8 1/4 to 79 1/4, while Crestar stock rose 9 3/8 to 73 3/8. See full story.
SPX (SPW) SPW, +1.14% will acquire General Signal (GSX) GSX, -2.10% for about $2 billion, or $45 a share, in stock and cash. SPX makes tools and equipment for the auto industry. General Signal manufactures equipment for the industrial technology and electrical controls industries. SPX stock lost 5 1/4 to 59 1/4. General Signal shares added 3 1/2 to 41 1/8. See full story.

Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET, the June housing starts report will be unfurled. Most forecasters eye 1.550 million units and a 1.530-million-unit pace for June building permits. Released about the twelfth business day of the following month, the housing starts report is the most important economic statistic for measuring the health of the housing sector. The housing sector is exceedingly crucial since its well-being has ramifications for the entire economy. When a house is built, a number of items such as carpeting, applicances, furniture, lumber, and copper need to be bought, thereby affecting numerous industries. Moreover, the housing sector often leads the economy into and out of recession due to this impact on numerous industries. The building permits report measures the number of building permits issued by local governments and tends to track housing starts data closely.

Writing Prompt #46 is called Superhero or Supervillain and it asks would you rather be a Superhero or Supervillain?
Being a hero is noble. Very noble. It's also dull. Very dull.
OK sure superheroes have all kinds of super powers which are amazing but they have all kinds of boring moral codes that keep them busy and they rarely ever just use their powers for fun.
Just look at how much time they spend much time they spend fighting crime and saving lives. It would get tiring. They never get to take a day for themselves. What's that? There's a bank robbery going on? Too bad it's my day off. Oh wait, no hero has ever said that.
Their moral code makes it worse.
Just look at Batman and how often he fights people like the Joker. Kill him. End him. Don't arrest him so that he can break out and commit crimes and kill more people.
Or how about Superman? Just fly down and zap them. It's like a 2 minute job. He'd then have the rest of the day free to just fly around and have fun, maybe go to the beach or something.
Do they get paid? Like are they employed by the city they work in? Do they rely on patreon? How do they get money to survive!
I'd definitely be a Supervillain. You get so much more freedom. You can take days off. You can use your powers for fun. Money wouldn't be an issue, just take it. Life just seems like it would be a lot less stressful for a Supervillain.
Give the prompt a go yourself and remember to either link back to it or leave a link in the comments below so everyone can check it out.

There has been some concern from the community that there appears to have been outflow of treated effluent from Council's waste water lagoons located at Brownlow. The State Environment Protection Authority raised the matter with Council two weeks ago and Council acted immediately having our EHO on site within 30 minutes (Friday 13th October 2017). There was also an inspection conducted by Council's Manager Development & Environmental Services, Director Council Services and our CWMS Operator (Monday 15th October 2017). The EPA were notified and a report submitted. Preliminary investigation leads us to believe that minor outflow occurred due to wind-blown wave action, though the apparent level of inundation of samphire wetland areas adjacent to the lagoons is primarily due to tidal influence and that there are no environmental issues. Council is awaiting final confirmation from the EPA which we are expecting within the next week.

Israel's occupation of Palestine is so much worse than I ever imagined. That is not to say that I did not think that the occupation was a moral and human rights disaster before spending time there on the Just Faith '17 Delegation. I was just incapable of picturing the violence and the unpredictable arbitrary decisions Israel makes in order to make the daily life of Palestinians living under the occupation as miserable as possible. I was mentally unprepared for what I saw in Palestine. I don't think anyone can be.
I've been trying to write about my experience since we arrived. It has been a challenge for me to put my thoughts down on paper/a computer screen. I was only able to write after returning to work yesterday, just four days after our delegation traveled to the border with Gaza to witness and pay respect to the Palestinian people there fighting for their lives. Yesterday, while I was on the subway on the way to work, an entire spectrum of emotions washed over me. I felt mournful for the ways that my community, the American Jewish community, has been complicit in upholding the occupation. I felt, and feel, anxiety because of how removed my life is from the urgency of the Palestinian struggle for freedom, dignity, and liberation. I felt anger towards people who know about the occupation and do not act to end it, and towards those that ignore the reality of the occupation. I was also afraid at how easy it could be to compartmentalize my experiences in Palestine, fly back to the US, and just get on with my routines.
Since I got home, I've been thinking a lot about Jews. For me, this isn't anything new. I am a proud Jewish person and spend a lot of time in Jewish communal spaces. I think that the occupation exists in part because of the Jewish community's historically-justified fear of annihilation. That fear has led the Jewish community to align itself with empire, militarism, and white supremacy. Those tendencies and ideologies have never been safe havens for Jews. We need a movement that will allow Jews to feel safe, that will recognize their fears, and that will show them how much we have to gain by realigning ourselves with our values and with oppressed communities around the world, starting with our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
Going to Palestine and learning what the occupation is like for those that endure its daily nightmare was a life changing experience. I cannot wait to go back, and I cannot wait to build the movement we will need to end the occupation as soon as possible.

Recently image central spoke to Sally Mullally at the Cromwell hockey turf as she was preparing the Central Otago Collier Trophy (under 13 girls) team for the national tournament. Sally is extensively involved in Central Otago hockey and has a very refreshing coaching philosophy …
Sally Mullally is heavily involved in hockey. So heavily we can't even summarise her involvement into a short sentence. So here is a rundown of what she is up to during hockey season:
• Coaching a Year 7 and 8 Quick Sticks team that her daughter (Bridget) plays in for the Alexandra Club.
• Central Otago coach of the primary school girls representative team (Collier team).
• Manager of teams that her son plays in at Dunstan High School.
• Member of the Dunstan High School hockey committee.
• Running the Fun Sticks program at the Terrace School.
• Working as a part time Hockey Development Officer for Hockey NZ.
So the hockey season is a busy time for Sally with something hockey related happening 4-5 times per week.
We chatted with Sally while she was coaching the Collier Trophy (under 13 girls) Tournament team. The Collier Trophy is a national primary school tournament that will be held in Hamilton from the 3rd to the 8th of October. On top of getting ready for the tournament the team is also fund raising to cover some fairly hefty tournament costs ($1,500 per person).
Sally sees this year as a building year for this team. The team was placed 21st equal with Counties-Manukau out of 24 teams at the tournament held in Palmerston North last year. Sally says that one of the team's goals this years is to make it into the top 20.
Sally has had extensive involvement in coaching Hockey since studying at Physical Education at Otago University. Her first team was St Hilda's in Dunedin and she later went on to coach the Southland Girls High School hockey 1st XI as well. Locally, Sally has coached at all levels from senior women's to Hatch Cup (under 13 boys), Collier Trophy, Dunstan High School and fun sticks (5 year olds) teams.
Sally says her grounding in hockey came from growing up playing in the Maniototo where she started playing hockey at primary school:
"Hockey is just what you did in the Maniototo and the people who taught, us taught us properly."
She went on to play for Otago and Southland and was in the National age group (under 18) squad and was also a New Zealand under 21 rep trialist.
Sally has enjoyed several sports and considers it important for children to try out a range of sports:
"I do believe that there is a sport for everyone – there are different sports that suit people and they should find their own wee sport to excel in it. It's about giving them the opportunity to try as many sports as they can and let them have a go in it."
Sally's says that her children Ben (15), Tom (14), Bridget (11) and Jake (8) enjoy their sport and it's important to her that they stay involved.
With coaching, Sally gets immense enjoyment out of seeing players develop and improve. But more importantly, Sally emphasises enjoyment, particularly for younger kids. As she says:
"We try not to worry about the outcome … At primary school level it's about development and that they all have a go. Some parents on the side-lines are very outcome focused, but I am not interested, they are primary school kids and it's about their development and enjoyment. If you ask a kid a couple years later 'did you win the game' they won't remember, but they will remember whether they enjoyed the sport."
Sally is instilling this philosophy in her Collier Trophy team. With the assistance of Paula Hill, she is trying to teach the girls to read the game and improve their skills. But she's mainly focused on feeding their passion for the sport. She hopes that the girls enjoy their time at the tournament and continue with hockey when they start high school next year.

More than 180 artists work to brighten the winter skies, writes Corazon Miller
It is quite possible to enjoy a view of Sydney's skyline hopping from roof to roof, and what better time to do it than during the annual Vivid Festival.
In May to June each year, the city buildings are transformed into canvases painted with an ever-moving array of lights.
Ocean life darts across the sails of the Sydney Opera House; the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) has music to accompany the rotating sequence of watercolour, oil, or marker paintings that encompass its facade; and the yellow glow of Sydney Harbour Bridge puts a spotlight on the dancers projected on its posts.
These were just some of the more than 90 large-scale light installations and projections at the festival in 2017.
More than 180 local and international artists worked to light up the winter skies in seven different precincts around Sydney.
During a week when temperatures were barely in the mid-teens, the glowing displays still managed to attract the masses.
Before hitting a local rooftop bar to see them from above, I decided to get up close with the lights.
I recommend doing this early in the evening - and in the week - before the crowds get too heavy.
I was able to walk, relatively unhindered, through the area, pausing to take pictures without having to worry too much about an unwanted head popping into shot.
Several thousand steps later, I traipsed back to the Intercontinental hotel and headed to its roof - the exclusive Supper Club.
There I sat in a cosy armchair and nursed a trio of specially-crafted Vivid cocktails while watching the lights dart around the harbour.
Centre stage was the Sydney waterfront, with a light walk designed to take in the displays around Circular Quay, The Rocks and the city's Harbour Bridge.
The Supper Club was by no means the only place to check out the lights.
To get a different view, there's the Palisade's rooftop bar, Henry Deane, which offers a picturesque view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Try the tender lamb cutlets with miso-infused sauce or the spiced cauliflower, tied off with a tasty cold sago pudding with pomegranate while you take in the sights.
For a view of Darling Harbour's water and lights, go to the Zephyr Bar on the roof of the Hyatt Regency and enjoy the show while sipping on one of the many cocktails on offer.
During the day, before the Vivid lights switched on, there were plenty of places to explore.
At the top of the MCA, there is a large cafe, with open and closed-roof options overlooking the harbour.
Before enjoying a vegetarian tagine atop the art gallery, I decided to take a tour of the art. The MCA is housing one part of The National: New Australian Art exhibition.
Curated across three of the city galleries, the MCA, Carriageworks and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, it offers work from emerging, mid-career and established Australian artists.
It is worth taking advantage of one of the regular free guided tours. Knowing the backstory gives an added dimension to each piece of art, that is not always visible by just looking at it.
In the foyer of the MCA, painted on the wall by the stairs, is a series of demon figures, framed by gold leaf foliage. For the artist, Khadim Ali, who is a Hazara man from Afghanistan, born in Pakistan, these figures tell the story of what it's like to be a new migrant, feeling part of a place but yet apart from it.
For those not so keen on a formal gallery setting, the inner-west Sydney suburb of Newtown is an option.
Arriving by train, it is easy to dismiss the area as just another run-down city suburb.
But take the time to explore and you may be surprised to find, hidden among its warren of side-street shops, narrow alleys and parks, a thriving artistic community.
You'll find everything from a clothing shop linking designers with aspiring designers from refugee backgrounds, to the performing arts high school and the local group of artists sharing a studio and shop space.
Melinda Vassallo, of Culture Scouts, introduced me to the beauty of Newtown.
This tour was more than just a show-and-tell; Vassallo, who is a local, knows the streets like the back of her hand.
She's written a book about the street art that dots many of the suburb's walls, fences and garages and knows many of the artists' stories. After spending two hours with Vassallo, I came away feeling like I had just spent the afternoon hanging out with a friend.
She told me that while street art remains illegal in many parts of Sydney, in Newtown the Inner West Council has discovered that, instead of fighting the graffiti crews, it's better to join them - or at least provide an outlet for street artists to develop their craft.
Called the Perfect Match programme, it connects artists with property owners who want an outdoor mural painted - thus eliminating the chance of unwanted tagging.
It's like a living art gallery, constantly evolving with a weird juxtaposition between grungy tags, more formal developing pieces of artwork and grander polished pieces.
Taking a closer look there were 3D sculptures: one "an abandoned shoe", which on closer inspection was a sculpture fixed to the floor.
One of the suburb's centrepieces was a portrait of Martin Luther King, to his left, the globe, below, his iconic words; "I have a dream"; all underlain by an image of the Aboriginal flag.
Painted by Andrew Aiken and Juilee Pryor it has, Vassallo said, in some ways become representative of the indigenous struggles for identity and a place in Australia today.
That seems to be the beauty of this suburb, all forms of art are welcome and fit right into Newtown's urban landscape.

Keep the Oktoberfest party going at this event, held over the last week of October. The festival features more than 100 events scattered across the city, this year's offering is shaping up to be the biggest yet - with local and international brewery showcases, scavenger hunts, walking tours, trivia nights and a 'beergustation' dinner.

A Natural Tick Collar For Dogs
Looking for a natural alternative? If you are like me and don't like the idea of the stock standard Tick and Flea preventatives out there, you may be seeking a natural alternative. After extensive research and speaking to numerous people, with the guidance of our Canine Naturopath we swapped Amos over to natural a tick and flea preventative 2.5 years ago and had been managing amazingly with no ticks. Recently I found 2 ticks on Amos and decided it was time to up the preventatives. So I headed to trusty google to see what I could find. And find I did!
Baltic Amber
You see I had heard of Baltic Amber collars a couple of years ago as a natural tick and flea preventative from our Canine Naturopath Lyndall Pinchen from Canine Vitality. At the time I didn't feel the need as we had never found a tick on Amos and he was on the preventative remedy.
As you all know from watching our Instagram stories, Amos and I go to the creek anywhere from 2-5 times a week and we have never found a tick on Amos in the 3.5 years that we have had him. I mean, we check him obsessively and to be honest, I am surprised we have not found one prior to this. Unfortunately, recently we found 2 in 2 weeks and we aren't sure whether he got them from our house or the creek. I decided it was time to relook at the Baltic Amber collar as I don't want him to ever have to stop swimming at the creek just because of ticks.
Ticks on Dogs
Before we discuss the collar, I want to highlight where I found the ticks too as one spot I admit to not doing a diligent enough check. Every time we get back from the creek the routine is the same. We remove the dog zone from the car, we clean the dog zone (which basically means hose play for Amos) and I hose him down.
After I have hosed Amos down, I do a thorough check of his body to check for ticks. Being a short haired dog, my job is a lot easier. In terms of spots to check, I remember reading a post on Instagram about a year ago about checking your dogs teeth and ears for ticks. I never even thought that would be likely but every day I check these spots to make sure.
So with the two ticks I found and with Amos being a short haired dog, you would think it would be easy but they were still not that noticeable. I have no idea how you guys with long haired dogs manage to do it all!
This is where I found Amos's ticks...
Preventative Tick Collar
Baltic Amber is a fossilised tree resin that comes from 6 different varieties of pine trees in the Baltics. The reason trees bleed their resin is to protect themselves from infection and parasites.
Parasites get caught in the sticky resin, therefore saving the tree. Parasites do not have noses, but they have 'haller organs' behind their front legs. This is their sensory organ, and it perceives the smell of tree resin as a natural threat, as they think they are going to get 'stuck' in it. This is essence is the basis of how Baltic Amber works.
Tick Collar
So just why would you wear one?
- Repels Ticks, Fleas & Mites
- Long Lasting & Chemical Free
- Worn to calm anxious animals
- Pain Relief & Skin Conditions
- Safe - Natural and therefore non toxic
Baltic Amber also contains about 8% succinic acid which is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory hence its potential role in pain relief.
Tick Repellant
So just how does it work?
When your dog wears a Baltic Amber collar, it protects them in 2 ways :
1. The friction caused between the collar and the fur of your dog provides an electrostatic barrier, so parasites cannot cling to their fur.
2. The friction also produces an aromatic repellant (terpenes) that works through the coat of your dog. Parasites perceive this smell as a natural threat as they believe they will get 'stuck' in it, and therefore deters them.
It is important to note that the collar does not kill tick and fleas as it is not poison. It acts as a repellent.
Pet Tick and Flea Collar
Tick Collar For Dogs
We received our Tick Collar from Amber Therapy and we absolutely love it. The Toffee Amber necklace looks so amazing against Amos's coat.
It is important to note, that all collars will look different in terms of bead size, shape and colour because Baltic Amber is a natural product not man-made. I think that makes it even more special. Amos has a unique collar!
The collar also has a hardwood tag engraved with "Amber Therapy" on it to show its authenticity and it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Care of your Tick and Flea Collar
It is advised not to wear the collar in water so with Amos, he wears it all the time except just before we go to the creek we take it off. Because Amos wears it all the time the aroma will still be present on his coat. It should also be removed for bathtime time.
The collar can last up to 18 months when used for repelling ticks and fleas and will last indefinitely if using it for pain relief.
Note that the collar should NOT be used as a restraint and should be removed in rough play.
So lets talk more about the company.
As you know I like to share the faces behind the companies and provide a bit more information to give it a more personal feel. So let's get to know the people behind Amber Therapy.
Allow me to introduce Brett and Cassandra.
We asked Cassandra and Brett the following 4 questions:
1. Why Did I Start my Business?
Dogs need us as much as we need them. I see my dogs as the best "therapy" one can ask for.
What can I do in return? Find healthy and natural ways to keep their health and wellbeing the best it can be. With so many medications on the market these days, I wanted to develop a natural product that did not have the word "poison" on the box. Affordability was a strong point too, as our best friends can be expensive at times! Having kids, I didn't want to have to stop them from playing with or touching our dogs for 24hrs after putting a liquid poison onto their coats either. Our cat, Stella, broke her leg when she was months old, and she had surgery to mend it, but we were amazed at how quickly she healed and had stopped limping within 10 days after her operation.
After seeing it with our own eyes and receiving amazing feedback through email and our facebook page, I knew then that we needed to get this product out there and available in as many towns as possible to help families with pets everywhere!
2. How many dogs do you Have?
Yes we have 2 dogs. Paris, a Black Labra-doodle and Milo, a Chocolate Labrador
3. Why did you get a dog ?
I have always found pets therapeutic. When we finished building the house - we decided it was time to buy a new puppy, providing her with almost an acre to run around - and the beach across the road. We met the breeder, and then we chose Paris. Around the same time as picking her up, we found out I was pregnant, so she was my special friend through the 9 months of pregnancy.
4. Describe myself in 3 words...
Compassionate - about what I stand for
Determined - to offer a natural alternative for pets around the world
Family-Orientated - our small family business delivering a natural handmade product made from our family to yours.
And some extra information…
My Dream is to have multiple suppliers in Australia distributing our natural product so every family has an option to choose natural over chemicals for their 4 legged friends! We offer 30% off R.R.P to our distributors.
We currently have 2 suppliers in Victoria, 1 in Queensland and are hoping to expand into N.S.W, S.A, W.A, NT an TAS by the end of the year!
Price Comparison
We also did a comparison of costs, so for example, a medium sized Amber Collar would cost about $42.00 and this equates to $3.00 per month over 14 months (as our collars last between 12-18months).
To purchase a box of Advantage for a medium dog to protect from fleas for 6 months is $73.09 which equates to $12.18 per month.
Isn't it just so nice getting to know the faces behind the company. This makes me love them even more!!!
So we have been using the collar for the past 4-6 weeks now and are loving it. You need to wear it all the time and as mentioned it is ideal for it not to get wet. So we take it off for swimming and then it goes back on when we get home.
I was worried about it rolling up as when Amos sleeps he moves alot and slides down but that is just me being paranoid. He looks pretty comfy to me...
Tick Repellant
Along with wearing this collar, I was searching on Pinterest, as you do, and I came across this incredible DIY tick repellant spray that I now spray on Amos before we go to the creek. Super easy to make and seems to be lasting a while. The hardest part is me remembering to put it on!
So what Tick and Flea preventative do you use? Do you use a Baltic Amber Collar?
Leave us a comment below as we would love to read what you have to say!
Please also share this on your Social Media accounts so that more people can learn about Natural options and Baltic Amber Collars.

Love Mel and Amos

Having a classic car is a dream for many car lovers. But of course, you need to know the realities of having this kind of car. For instance, it is common to have problems when it comes to spare parts. If you have a classic car that has been around since the 50s, you rarely get to see parts that are brand new. You either settle towards used ones or get the part fabricated and custom made just for your car. It can get expensive as well in the long run.

GoPro Cameras Submerged in Liquid Nitrogen To See How Long It Can Record
This is the ultimate test of endurance of these little wonder cameras, The "King of Random" Grant Thompson submerged GoPro cameras in liquid nitrogen to see how long they would continue to record before shutting down. After the freezing bath these little cameras brought back up to room temperature to see if they would return to working order when thawed.
How long can a GoPro keep recording while soaking in Liquid Nitrogen? And what will happen when it thaws back out?

July Member of the Month : Kristin Wolter-Canfield of Everbloom Design
We're so thrilled to introduce you to our third Member-of-the-Month, Kristin Wolter-Canfield! Kristin has built a business of not only incredible floral design, but also education, workshops and artistic direction. Her ability to collaborate with brides and create breathtaking pieces has completely blown us away, and we've been thrilled to have her be such a supportive and collaborative member of the Memphis chapter. She was one of the brave souls at our very first meetups! If you aren't already, RUN to follow her colorful and inspiring instagram feed and her gorgeous website. Thank you so much for your thoughful responses, Kristin!
Each member-of-the-month answers five questions for our blog- the first three are standard questions we ask everyone, and the last two are specific to each creative entrepreneur. We hope you love Kristin's answers!
What is your favorite part of being a creative (or creative entrepreneur) in Memphis?
I love the creative energy of Memphis. It is so inspiring to see so many people connected by a common goal of creating beauty and art. I am personally inspired by different mediums and there is no shortage of of inspiration in our community.
What is your favorite part of your creative business?
I love being a part of such an important day in a couples life. I am able to translate into flowers the celebration of their union.
What would you tell yourself if you could go back in time to your first day of starting a business?
Don't listen to the negative non supportive chatter in your head. Don't compare your beginning to someone else's now.
All of your work is so gorgeous and seems to so perfectly match the mood of the wedding. How do you go about taking direction from brides, while also having your own artistic input? Any tips for successful client collaborations?
Thanks!! Most of my couples find me on Instagram. So they are familiar with my style and brand. I do start off with a questionnaire that has a series of questions about not only the venue, date, etc. But includes questions about them, how they met, their interests, and words to describe how they want their wedding to feel not just look. I ask to see their Pinterest boards, not only about the wedding but other topics too like home design, fashion etc. This really gives me insight about them and what they are like. From that I create a mood board that shows them how I translated all that into what I believe will work for me and them. If we don't jive on the look I will work to come up with other ideas. However if a couple wants symmetrical and no greenery, I am not the designer for them. I will recommend other wonderful designers who may fit their style a bit better. I found it really important for me to be excited about a design and that it is draining and not worth it if it something that doesn't fit my aesthetic. In the beginning I took every job I could. I worked really hard to build a brand and now I am able to stick to it.
You've been teaching workshops for a while now, and they always seem to be such a huge success. When did you start teaching floral design, and what is your favorite part of those classes?
I decided to start teaching classes about three years ago. I not only wanted to share my love of floral design but see tremendous value in the creative process. Even if you don't think you are creative you gain so much benefit from just trying and bending your brain in the creative direction. Pushing yourself to do new things translates to other aspects of your life and in turn enriching your life! That is my most favorite part of teaching. Watching how much fun the students have in the process and how satisfied they are with their end results. It brings me so much joy!
(to find out more about her upcoming workshops, follow along on her instagram! That's the first place they'll be posted!)
Thanks SO much to Kristin for her incredibly inspiring responses (and did you check out her work?? ALLL the heart eyes)
