- Market Gains N798bn in Four Days on Continuing Demand
The Nigerian equities market maintained its bullish trend last week with the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) All-share Index crossing the 30,000 mark to hit 31,371.63, while market capitalisation added N797.6 billion to close at N10.845 trillion.
Having hit a 10-month level with a growth of 3.38 per cent the previous week, the market sustained the positive performing rising by 7.94 per cent to close on continuing higher demand by investors last week.
Analysts at Cordros Capital attributed the positive development to improved macro-economic fundamentals, herein we refer to "the improvement in the currency space, especially at the parallel and Importers and exports FX market and data suggesting economic recovery is well underway, in particular, improved Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) survey result for the month of May."
" Asides that, the federal government continued to make strides in harnessing growth in the economy, supporting this, the acting President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo signed into law two Acts of Parliaments earlier passed by the National Assembly. The New laws focus on increasing access to affordable credit, and will be beneficial to MSMEs in particular," Cordros Capital said.
At the end of the week, all the sectoral indicators appreciated save for the NSE Oil & Gas Index that went down by4.5 per cent. The NSE Industrial Goods recorded the highest growth of 9.17 per cent trailed by the NSE Consumer Goods Index that grew by 7.68 per cent.

The positive performance was across all the sectors except the oil and gas sector that went down by 2.0 per cent. The NSE Banking Index appreciated the most, rising by 2.2 per cent on the back of gains by GTBank (+1.5 per cent) and Zenith Bank (+1.9 per cent).

A dream fulfilled, others in the pipeline!
As the end of the year is approaching, it's time for Ultimate Dakar Team to draw up a balance. Our goal for 2016 was to find the right path we…read more
Some people think, car racing is easy: you are just sitting in your vehicle and so you don't need to be so fit to be successful. The truth couldn't be more different: physical preparation is important in all kinds of motorsport, but it's especially so when it comes to cross-country rallies. The rough terrain, the heat, the long stages and the unexpected situations you need to cope with all require stamina and strength, so being imprepared can be not only bad for your result but even dangerous. Just imagine changing a 40 kg wheel in 40 degres…
The crew of Buggyra Ultimate Dakar, Tomas Ourednicek and Pavel Vaculik take fitness as an important aspect of racing. "Of course, we take physical preparation very seriously. We both have a personal trainer and an extensive training program. As businessmen, it's often not too easy for us to fit all those training sessions into our busy schedules, but we know that in cross-country rallies and especially in the Dakar physical fitness is literally vital," Tomas Ourednicek says.
The time for preparation is almost over: in some days, on 2 January, together with all the competitors of the 2016 edition of Dakar Rally, Tomas and Pavel are going to drive through the start podium set up in Argentine capital Buenos Aires before tackling the first kilometres against the clock in the world's toughest motorsport event.

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here's the sign-up.)
Good morning. Turkey faces economic turmoil, a NASA spacecraft heads to the sun and China pushes for political sway in Eastern Europe.
Here's the latest:
• Turkey and Russia are bracing for financial chaos this week.
Increased tariffs on Turkey's steel and aluminum exports to the U.S. have accelerated the lira's tumble, setting in motion economic confusion that could spill over into other countries in the region. At the center of the dispute between the two NATO allies is a detained American pastor, but it doesn't help that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, above, and President Trump are both strong-headed leaders.
Russia's currency, the ruble, also took a beating after the Trump administration sanctioned the country for the attempted assassination of a former Russian spy and his daughter.
Scorned by the U.S., the two countries are now looking to grow their economic and military ties.
• Italy's Five Star Movement faces its first national test.
The party campaigned to block a proposed pipeline that would transport gas from the Caspian Sea to southern Italy. That won over southern Italians like Alfredo Fasiello, above, who have long been wary of the pipeline's environmental risks.
But now that Five Star is in power, it is wavering on that promise as pressure mounts to wean the country off Russian oil and gas by finding alternative sources.
To complicate matters further, Russia and four other countries that border the Caspian Sea — Iran, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan — have agreed to divide the oil and gas-rich seabed among them. The agreement, which comes after three decades of Russian opposition, could have consequences for the construction of the trans-Caspian pipeline to Europe.
• White nationalists, above, had organized a rally in Washington on Sunday to mark the anniversary of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., last year.
But it didn't quite go as planned, with only about two dozen people showing up. They were far outnumbered by the thousands of counterprotesters denouncing their message of racism.
Barely half an hour into what was meant to be a two-hour rally, the group packed up and left.
• Iraq had a secret weapon to fight the Islamic State: a spy widely considered the country's greatest.
Capt. Harith al-Sudani posed as a militant jihadist in the group for over a year, foiling almost 100 planned bomb attacks, according to the director of Iraq's little-known counterintelligence unit, the Falcons.
Our Baghdad bureau chief tells the story of Captain Sudani's heroism and the mission that took his life. Above, pictures of the captain and his family.
• NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe, which the space agency says will "touch the sun."
The probe will skim the sun's atmosphere and, hopefully, fill in the many blanks in human understanding of our star. It will also study solar wind — the stream of charged particles that flows outward from the sun and into the solar system.
Solar winds were first predicted by Eugene N. Parker, a retired University of Chicago astrophysicist who is the first living person to give a NASA mission its name.
• President Trump's embrace of tariffs has thrust the World Trade Organization into an uncomfortable role as chief judge among its most powerful members.
• A mysterious Chinese tycoon went on a buying spree in the Czech Republic after President Xi Jinping's call for greater sway in Eastern Europe. Then he disappeared.
• YouTube has tried for years to combat a fake views ecosystem in which plays, likes and dislikes can be bought for pennies. Twitter has also been struggling with content on its platform. Our reporters got an inside look at how the company decides what to ban.
• Here's a snapshot of global markets.
In the News
• Police officers in Romania used water cannons and tear gas to disperse tens of thousands of antigovernment protesters, above. More than 240 people were reported injured. [The New York Times]
• Meet the man in Iceland who runs the last company in the world still hunting fin whales, which essentially makes him an international outcast. He doesn't seem to care. [The New York Times]
• The heat wave in Europe had at least one upside: It prompted rare Andean flamingos in Britain to lay eggs for the first time in 15 years. [The New York Times]
• An airline employee, who had little flying experience and was thought to be suicidal, took off in an empty, stolen plane at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and crash landed about 30 miles from the airport, the authorities said. [The New York Times]
• A hippopotamus in Kenya killed one Chinese tourist and injured another. A Kenyan fisherman had been killed nearby by another one of the animals hours earlier. [The Guardian]
• Germany lifted a decades-old ban on the appearance of Nazi symbols in video games, allowing images of the swastika and Hitler to appear in an artistic way. [BBC]

Back Story
The twin brothers were hired to settle a bet.
Ross and Norris McWhirter, who were born on Aug. 12, 1925, ran an agency that supplied facts and figures to London newspapers in the 1950s, when they were approached to compile what became the Guinness Book of Records.
A few years before, Sir Hugh Beaver, a managing director of the Guinness Brewery, was on a hunting trip in Ireland and got into an argument with friends about whether the golden plover was the fastest game bird in Europe.
No reference book could prove him right (he wasn't), but Sir Hugh saw a marketing opportunity: Surely, these sorts of debates were happening in pubs throughout Ireland and Britain.
A Guinness employee recommended the McWhirter twins, and, after a little more than 13 weeks of writing around the clock, they finished the first edition in 1955. Six months after publication, it was Britain's best-selling book.
Two decades later, Ross McWhirter told an interviewer, "We have a pen-pal relationship with libraries, museums, record keepers of all sorts in about 150 countries."
In 1974, Guinness set a world record of its own, becoming the best-selling copyrighted book. It has sold more than 140 million copies and been translated into more than 20 languages.

I don't normally leave my house if its raining or too hot outside, but on Saturday I made a big exception. Although temps were in the 100's, I trekked over to Wasserhund Brewing Company in Virginia Beach for the 1st (and hopefully annual) BBQ Wars competition put on by Southern Grit Magazine.
4 Chefs from Restaurants and Food Trucks around Hampton Roads came together and presented a plate of their best BBQ, while the general public voted for who they thought was the best. In no particular one, the competitors were:
Jon Wade of Two Drummers Smokehouse (Toano)
Bob Roberts of Redwood Smoke Shack (Food Truck)
Al Devane of Carolina Son BBQ (Virginia Beach)
Forrest Warren of Smoke BBQ Restaurant and Bar (Newport News)
Brisket, Chicken, and Ribs, the amount of food was endless and the meat sweats were real. After the 2nd plate of food I wondered if I would be able to continue on, but knowing that every votes counts I was determined to finish them. A few of my personal (non BBQ) favorites from every competitor were:
Meatloaf from Carolina Son
Collard Greens from Two Dummers
Chow Chow from Smoke BBQ
Street Corn with Alabama White Sauce from Redwood Smoke Shack
Ultimately, the Winner of the Judges Vote went to Forrest Warren of Smoke BBQ, and the People's Choice Award went to Bob Roberts of Redwood Smoke Shack. If you were unable to attend the event I am sorry for your loss, there is always next year. But, I also suggest cancelling your dinner plans this week, jumping in your car, and paying each of these guys a visit...I promise you it will be worth it.

Silence is golden, perhaps because it is so rare. The siren calls of our age easily drown out silence. Urgent text messages. Email notifications. Blaring news reports. Pervasive social media. Words about silence seem foreign to our eyes and ears.
"My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation ... My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him." (Psalm 62.1,5)
Waiting in silence often seems like an exercise in futility. Beyond the noise of technology is the noise of our mind. Thoughts dash around like young children at play. Insignificant tasks suddenly seem urgent.
I've lately noticed that if I hope to have a half hour of quiet time with my Father, I need to devote an additional half hour to preparing for it. For me, it takes that long to quiet myself to even begin to enjoy quietness with Him.
A divided life is a distracted life. Sure, there are details to be tended to every day of our lives: paying bills, studying at school, working diligently at our job, investing in our families. But, amidst it all, is there a quiet center where we often commune with our Father, and His Son? Is there refreshing, rejuvenating silence with Him that replenishes our drained soul?
Out of silence, may we find renewal in purpose and grace to renew and refresh others around us.

Black Project Paddles
Black Project Paddles
I'm now offering Black Project Paddles.
These are the best paddles I've used, and I've used, and owned, every top brand on the market going back ten years.
What sets Black Project apart from all the rest?
1) The lightest on the market. Nobody wants swing weight when surfing a short board SUP.
2) The smallest diameter shaft I seen in any paddle. From an engineer's point of view, the smallest diameter shaft wins! It allows for the least amount of weight, and most amount of bending before a failure. This is good! Fat shafts cannot match a skinny.
3) The blade "angle" is reduced to match the needs of the high performance short board SUP surfer.
4) The blade edge is generously rounded, in such a brilliant way, that rail tapes, or taping the paddle blade, no longer makes any sense.

My brother has been sending me old newspaper clippings, magazine pics, and old, old photos from years gone by. I guess that's to remind me of just how old I am! That's okay, because he is older. :0)
This is a picture of me winning the stock seat championship at the American Royal when I was 17 yrs. old. The younger age group was divided 4 times with separate prizes and the older age group was divided 5 times. The stock seat equitation class was the largest class at the entire American Royal horseshow with over 200 entries competing for the championship.
The quarter mare I am on was purchased by my parents when she was 6 mos. of age. She died of old age when I was in my 30's. I did ALL of my own western training. I had no trainer. There seems to be a theme there.....just like I like to do almost all of my own dog training.
Classy Lassie (my horse) was one of those once in a lifetime horses. She could do flying lead changes down the center of an arena every step. She was a remarkable trail horse. I gave lessons on her. I let my students and friends show her. She was the BEST FRIEND a girl could ever have.
The saddle I am pictured riding in was a MacPherson. I just sold that saddle to Terry and Colleen of Task Farms. Whoa....was that hard to let go of....decades of memories. But, since I don't have horses anymore, it surely is better to see it get good use rather than me looking at it on a saddle rack.

It is interesting how many of us come from horse backgrounds. Or still have horses. I did the QH show circuit and then got into rodeo. Sold my last horse about 7 yrs. ago.

Agreed. Many Border Collie people were or are horse people. Just like the outdoors and competition I guess :0)

Show up. Seriously, just showing up to do the work of working hard to succeed means you are already two steps ahead of where you were yesterday. Stop dreaming. But don't lose your dreams…just put them away for a bit…
When I was around 11 years old, I swallowed a fly. I didn't mean to swallow the fly, it (and I) just both happened to be in the right place at the wrong time, and the 'incident' as I called it for many years after, quite literally went down. So how did I happen to swallow a big, fat, lazy housefly when I was 11 years old?
Do you remember the things you used to love--or hate--to do as a kid? For me, that would be playing with my Barbies, helping my mother cook, and running. I loved to run...as fast and as far as I could, whenever I got the chance. I didn't much care for sports overall, and was always the last kid picked for any sporting team in PE class, and the worst at nearly every 'sport' we had to play...except running.
Ahh...brand story day! As anyone who has ever been through this exercise knows, writing your brand story is an exciting, invigorating, pivotal time in the development of your business and vision. It is also be stressful, hard, frustrating, and repetitive
For most new brands, a pivotal part of defining who they are and what they stand for as a company is to identify the 'target consumer', or put another way, the shopper most likely to buy their products or services. In addition to understanding who this shopper is (and is not)...
We all seem to spend a lot of time talking about what our content and copy should be, so today I thought it would be more interesting to talk about what content should NOT be, because believe it or not, this is a thing.
I know I'm not the only one who has heard this old chestnut: "No one reads anymore" or, "We don't need content; our consumers only want pictures and videos". I am by no means an SEO expert but I'm just gonna go ahead and say that is crappy advice, and not true to boot.
I find a lot of inspiration at my gym, and not just to workout. This week, my inspiration came in the form of is this sign. It got me thinking about the excuses we all make for not doing something in our lives and more pointedly, our brands and businesses.
This morning, the gym was crowded, which forced me from my usual treadmill, in front of the TV that shows the Cooking Channel (because nothing says 'keep running' quite like watching a program all about dessert) to a treadmill in front of a TV in what I like to call...no (wo)man's land, which is to say...
For any brand, and in my opinion particularly one that is new or young, it's easy to think that once the basic elements of the brand are conceived: you know, the brand positioning, moodboard, tagline, etc. the branding process is over and branding, in essence, is done. The truth is, nothing could be further from the truth.
So, you or your brand are ready to hire a copywriter. That's great! A skilled copywriter can bring an influx of creativity to your project, as well as help move existing content from dull to dynamic with just a few tweaks.
Every brand has a story, but have you ever noticed how not every story does justice to the brand? It's sad really. Telling your story should be one of the most exciting parts of the branding process...
Interesting perspective on writing, and why designers need to also be writers. Or, as I see it, why designers (and any other business leader in need of content) should partner with a professional freelance writer.
It's tempting, in our time of technological dependence, to presume that good writing matters less and less to your business's success than say, your e-commerce platform or social media presence, but the truth is...
Lately, it seems to me that often, when brands or businesses are reaching for a word to describe one of their products or a new offering, the word which for which they most often reach is 'amazing'. Everything is 'amazing'...

This Summer we have been across the North East at several expos – including the Impact & Exchange exhibition, Show Your Mussel and Tees Valley Business Summit.
We have had a great time barking about Harvey & Hugo, who we are and our range of services at each event.
No matter where the expo is, the theme or set up, there are unwritten rules you can follow to help generate genuine conversations and new business leads. But there are also things you should avoid…
So here we share our top three dos and don'ts to make the most out of your expo experience, whether visiting or exhibiting:
1. If you're exhibiting, make your stand as visually engaging as possible. Including a screen with a video or animation always helps you to stand out from the crowd.
2. Smile! It might seem obvious, but make sure you're friendly and approachable or people won't want to communicate with you.
3. Tell people where you are! If you're exhibiting at an expo, make sure you're shouting about it on social media and on your website. It's also good to engage with fellow exhibitors and the organisers on social media too.
1. Sell sell sell….without buying a stand! It's our biggest pet peeve. Guests who come purely to sell, without paying for a stand, can really get peoples' backs up.
2. Don't sit down. Sitting down behind your stand can make you come across as unapproachable. Remember it's all about communication at expos, and you can say a lot without saying a word.
3. Don't give too much away. There are those who, unfortunately, simply come for the freebies. If you want to encourage real connections don't make yourself an attraction to the expo magpies.
We have a couple of very exciting expos coming up! You can catch us at the following:
DL Expo – Mowden Park RFC, 19th September.
Impact and Exchange – Sedgefield Racecourse, 4th October

It rained, hailed, and snowed simultaneously. Water beads dangled like a silver necklace from the brim of my hat. Beneath that drip edge, vapor hovered in my face. I inhaled through my nose, pursed my lips, and blew out slowly. The vapor swirled and dissipated. One didn't need to do the math to know that the concentration of oxygen pulled in with every breath was only half that experienced at sea level.
In a weird way, it was like scuba diving. I focused on relaxing, pulling and pushing air into my lungs. Pole! Pole! Slow and easy.
Between these physical adjustments, the falling precipitation, and a sudden ruggedness of trail, the last hour of the trek was challenging. But we did not break ranks and tromped into Moir Hut Camp as a group, all muddy and swishy and relieved. It had taken us approximately five and a half hours to cross the Shira. We now found ourselves in a remote quarter of Kilimanjaro National Park under a toothy group of 15,000 footers known as the Lent Hills (See more on the life and murder of their namesake Carl Lent below.*). I smiled. Only in the shadow of the highest mountain in all of Africa could a 15,000 foot peak be considered a "hill"!
Unlike our previous camps, Moir Hut was nearly empty. A handful of tents were pitched beside ours. Harmonica-man and his team had the camp ready at the time of our early afternoon arrival; he appeared out of nowhere puffing a silly réveille as we entered. Robert encouraged us to find some dry clothes and a snack. We were going to do an acclimatization hike before dinner.
An acclimatization hike is an exercise designed to stress the body and jumpstart certain physiological processes (and probably a few psychological ones as well!). The safe penetration of extreme elevation is a controlled process of ascents and descents. Each night is spent in retreat from the heights of the day, ideally at a higher elevation than the night before. As access to oxygen is staggered, the body responds. Heart rate and rate of breathing increase. More red blood cells are produced. The blood thickens. Amazingly, these mechanisms are subconsciously triggered. The ability to acclimatize is just one more miracle of the human body.
After a brief rest we gathered in the mess. Robert reminded us to bring our cameras, as "the view is marvelous."
The earlier precipitation had given way to a mist. Patches of sky were reflected in puddles of water.
Moir Hut Camp squats on a narrow flat at the head of a fluvio-glacial valley.** Volcanic flows frame loose scree on three sides. These primordial rivers of stone loom overhead, frozen midflight by some sort of Medusian sorcery. I could feel them leaning toward us, pockmarked and dark. When the group was ready we set out.
We walked for a short distance on the flat but soon encountered our first scramble: a wall of lava lenses. It was perhaps twenty feet high and in places, approached vertical. Robert chose our route carefully. One by one we went up the gritty face, hands and feet churning, spider-man style.
Above this step, a narrow trail wound up a loose scree surface. This proved more difficult than the scramble. The talus was like sand: it was eager to race downslope and happy to take you with it.
It has been suggested that the Lent Hills did not originate in Kibo's mouth, but was a product of a late and secondary eruption.*** They may have even been formed after the throat of Kibo was closed. The cone apparently had one last blow; the mountain-building mass was expelled laterally through secondary vents. I suppose it would have been like sneezing with your mouth closed and nose pinched, just at a larger scale!
Our acclimatization hike into this blast zone offered a modest elevation gain. We climbed to 14,200 feet. At the top of the ridge, Robert called for a half-hour rest. The winds were light. The air was brisk. We zipped up, ate candy bars, pulled air, and devoted ourselves to the task of producing lots of red blood cells.
And the view was even better than promised: wild, austere, primal.
Afterwards, we returned down the slippery trail and made our way back to Moir Hut Camp. We had a birthday to celebrate.
*The Lent Hills are named after the Carl Lent, a 19th c scientist and German colonizer. Lent partnered with the government in Berlin to develop the Wissenschaft Kilimandscharo Station (Kilimanjaro Scientific Station) in Marangu in the year 1893. Lent's objective was to study the natural environment as an aid to developing German colonies in the area. His ambitious plan called for the production of a set of maps drawn at a scale of 1:25,000. Toward this end he traveled widely, set up surveyor's triangulation points, studied local farming strategies, and planted crops of his own as tests for future farms. His plan was never fully realized. He and his party of seven were killed by warriors while traveling on the eastern flank of the Kilimanjaro on 25 September 1894. Lent was 26 years old at the time of his death. For more on Lent, click here or see Robert B. Munson's discussion on German efforts in the region in The Nature of Christianity in Northern Tanzania: Environmental and Social Change 1890-1916 (Lanham: Lexington Books, 2013).
**The Credner Glacier, one of the largest of the mountain, once covered this area. Its tongue has retreated steadily, along with much of Kilimanjaro's ice cap since the mid-19th century. Sadly, if the current trend continues, the Credner Glacier may dissapear entirely in another decade.
***See Charles Dundas, Kilimanjaro and its People: A History of the Wachagga, Their Laws, Customs, and Legends, together with Some Account of the Highest Mountain in Africa (Cass, 1924): 25-26.
I love Africa but my regular summer work is in Israel-Palestine.
If you are a pastor, church leader, or educator who is interested in leading a trip to the lands of the Bible, let me hear from you. I partner with faith-based groups to craft and deliver academic experiences. Leaders receive the same perks that other agencies offer, at competitive prices, and without the self-serving interests that often derail pilgrim priorities.

The Ulster Farmers' Union, with the support of the Young Farmers Clubs of Ulster, has held the first meeting of the new Next Generation Development Forum.
UFU president Barclay Bell said that he is impressed by the calibre of the group and has high hopes for what it will achieve.
He added: "We have brought together 24 farmers, all under the age of 40, who are some of the most innovative in the industry. Our aim is to help develop their leadership, communication and business skills while encouraging them to become more involved in the Union's activities."
The group kicked off its first meeting by hearing about the success of a similar forum run by the NFU Cymru.
"This format has proven successful in other UK regions and we want to replicate it here. The focus of the forum will be driven by its members but we expect there will be a mixture of both business and practical sessions. The group complements our existing policy committee structure and will help to shape the UFU for future generations," said Mr Bell.
The Union sees the forum as a tool to help identify future organisation and industry leaders. The UFU president said: "These young people are the future of our industry. We are facing uncertain times ahead and our industry needs capable young leaders. We see this as an important investment for the industry's future."

Last year came reports that filmmaker Nicholas Meyer, the director of both "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country," was involved in a new project in the franchise – one separate from CBS All Access and Netflix's "Star Trek: Discovery" series.
Further specifics, however, were not available until now when, whilst speaking at a discussion about "Shakespeare and Star Trek" at the University of California (via TrekCore), Meyer revealed he's been working on a trilogy of "Star Trek" films for CBS All Access. Unfortunately, it hit a speed bump:
"I was hired to write a stand-alone Star Trek-related trilogy. I can't discuss or I'd have to kill you. [Laughs] I was writing it for CBS [All] Access… but at the moment CBS is at a war with Paramount/Viacom. They're in a power struggle, which turned really nasty this past week when CBS decided to sue [its parent company]. So, I don't think my project is going anywhere in a hurry, because everything is on hold while they sort out this merger business. That's my story and I'm sticking to it."
CBS is suing its parent company National Amusements in an effort to block a merger with Viacom (which owns Paramount Pictures). Should it go ahead, then the two companies that control the "Star Trek" series and films will fall under one roof.
Meanwhile Simon Pegg, who stars as Scotty in the J.J. Abrams-era "Star Trek" films, and helped write the last one "Star Trek Beyond," recently spoke with ComingSoon and cleared up some confusion just as to who is writing the next film in the series.
Pegg says he has no involvement in the script for the fourth film with J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay doing the script and S.J. Clarkson directing. He also says Tarantino's Trek film is notably further off:
"Quentin [Tarantino] turned up at the office a couple of months ago and said, 'Hey, I've got an idea!' So that's in the hope for further down the line… Everyone sort of assumes it's gonna be like "Pulp Fiction" in space, but I think his devotion to "Trek" and his understanding of it.
It won't be ordinary, it'll have him all over it, but it won't be anything a "Star Trek" fan will have to worry about. He has an acute understanding of the story and he'd never do anything to tear it down. I haven't read the treatment yet, but I might be able to in the next couple of weeks, so I'm excited about that."
The second season of "Star Trek: Discovery" is in production, no air date has yet been set.

Pacific Pines Pool and Spa Services are a pool supplies and maintenance company, servicing a range of domestic, high-end client and corporate swimming pool facilities.
The owner, Jeff Feltham, contacted Airius in an effort to find a solution to the condensation problems that were resulting in a variety of costly and unsightly issues for his indoor pool customers. Airius were able to advise John and supplied a cost effective system to use in a trial installation for one of his customers.
The trial pool enclosure was 29 metres long by 10 metres wide. It had a pitched roof rising from 2.5 metres to 9 metres, which then dropped to 5 metres.
5 x Model 15 Airius Standard Series and 3 x Model 45 PS 4 Standard Series were specified and installed, as directed in the bespoke system design installation guide supplied by Airius.
The almost silent Airius units work by circulating the air around the space offering air movement, which increases the 'dew point' and draws moisture from the surfaces into the air. A simple and inexpensive solution to a typical and costly indoor pool issue.

This is delicious. I found this recipe in a cookbook that my dear friend, Ginger gave me a few years ago for Christmas. We love to spend time together in the kitchen, and whenever I post about my #cookfest shananigans, it's usually with her.
This cookbook is so fab, so if you get a chance to pick one up-you should.
At any rate, Deb made this original crepe cake with hazlenuts. I have to be honest. I have a lotta nuts in the house. (There is a joke in there somewhere.) But for the most part, they are always almonds, pecans, walnuts and sometimes pignoli. I rarely stock hazelnuts.
Since my other friend, Mayo and I wanted to make this crepe cake together, I opted for nuts I had readily available. It turned out fabulous. Confession: I also opted for a different kind of chocolate topping and did not follow Deb's recipe completely. In hindsight, it would have been easier to slice had I followed them. It was still good…just not so pretty once it was sliced.
This recipe is easy if you do it in steps…but definitely will take a bit of time if you try and do it all in one day, so if I wasn't in a rush, it would be much better to do in the span of two days.
- Crepes
- 9 tbs unsalted butter (will be used for crepes and pastry cream)
- 2 1/2 c whole milk
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 c APF
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 c granulated sugar
- 1tbs melted butter or neutral oil for skillet (no need if you have the Severin Crepe Maker)
- Pecan Pastry Cream
- 1 1/3 c toasted pecans for pastrey cream and for decoration
- 1 c confectioner's sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 1/3 c whole milk
- 7 tbs granulated sugar
- 5 large egg yolks
- 5 tbs cornstarch
- Butter reserved from crepes
- 200 grams chocolate compound
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan being sure not to leave it.
- You want the butter to separate, and then become brown and nutty. Once the butter is brown, you can remove it from the heat and let it cool.
- Blend the eggs, milk, flour, salt, granulated sugar, and brown butter. You can use a hand blender for this to make it easier. (Refrigerate for at least one hour or up to two days.)
- In a food processor combine 1 cup of the toasted pecans, confectioner's sugar, and salt together. (set 1/3 cup pecans aside for decorating the top of the cake)
- Be sure not to run the machine too long. You just want the mixture to come to a paste.
- In a saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, and pecan paste over medium high heat.
- Bring to a simmer.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk yolks and cornstarch.
- Temper your eggs and your pecan milk paste mixture by adding a little bit of the mixture to your eggs and cornstarch by constantly stirring. (This might be where you need a little help, bc if you do it too fast you'll end up with scrambled eggs.)
- Once the egg-yolk bowl has been tempered with the hot milk mixture you can add the entire mixture back to the milk saucepan being sure to whisk the entire time.
- Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes.
- It will thicken as time passes.
- Remove from heat and add 3tbs of browned butter.
- Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate with plastic wrap pressed all the way on the pudding to prevent skin formation.
- If you are using the Severin Crepe Maker you can use 1/4 c of batter and make crepes as you usually would.
- If you are using a non stick pan, melt a little butter in the bottom of the pan and spread evenly before you measure your batter in. By measuring the batter you are more likely to have the same size crepe for the layers of the cake.
- Use parchment paper to keep your crepes from sticking together. As you stack each one make sure the paper is in between.
- Using your cake stand or cake plate that you will serve the cake on, you can assemble the cake by layering crepes and chilled pecan pudding.
- In a double boiler melt the chocolate compound.
- When completely melted, spread over the top of your cake layers and top with decorative toasted pecans.
- In hindsight, I would have followed Deb's directions for a chocolate ganache instead of a melted chocolate topping. Once the top had set, it was quite hard to cut neatly.
- Bring 1/4 c plus 2tbs heavy cream to a boil.
- Pour over 1 cup of dark chocolate chips.
- Stir to melt evenly.
- If mixture is too thick, bring an additional 2 tbs of water to a boil in same saucepan and then mix into the melted chocolate so you can spread chocolate evenly over the cake.

Autoimmunity causes the body's defense mechanisms to turn against itself. Many of the tissues in the body can be the target of such an attack. While one tissue type predominates, others may be involved in a general misdirection of immune activity, perhaps because the specific target antigen is present in differing quantities in each of the affected tissues. There seem to be hereditary causes for autoimmunity, since these diseases tend to run in families and have genetic markers. Among the more common diseases believed to fall within this category are rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, and psoriasis.
The process of autoimmune disease is very similar to infectious disease and allergy, so that great caution is observed in placing a disorder in this class. Germs were found to cause several diseases originally thought to be autoimmune. Allergens cause others. Many more may be uncovered. Autoimmunity is often believed to originate with a virus infection. A chemical in the virus resembles a body chemical so closely that the immune system attacks both.
Autoimmune hepatitis is similiar to viral hepatitis, a disease of the liver. It can be an acute disease that kills over a third of its victims within six months, it can persist for years, or it can return periodically. Some patients develop cirrhosis of the liver which, over time, causes the liver to cease functioning.
Autoimmune hepatitis or autoimmune chronic hepatitis is a progressive inflammation of the liver that has been identified by a number of different names, including autoimmune chronic active hepatitis (CAH), idiopathic chronic active hepatitis, and lupoid hepatitis. The reason for this inflammation is not certain, but it is associated with an abnormality of the body's immune system and is often related to the production of antibodies that can be detected by blood tests.

Month of February Update
March 2, 2018
Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
Have you been checking out my website since it's first launch?? There have been SO many updates! Here are some just to name a few:
1. New logo! It isn't much of a change so it might be hard to spot, but my logo has changed to add an arrow that goes through "capture your wanderlust"! I got a lot of inspo from Pinterest and other photographers that have the same goal as I do. I made the logo myself and have been working on branding guidelines for my company. It been a really good week branding wise as I have nailed down some do's and don'ts for my website as far as how I want it to look and feel!
2. I got featured! For those of you who don't know, I worked with Kim Baker Beauty for my styled shoot on February 18th. She is a make up artist who also runs her own blog and she featured my photos from the shoot. She has also asked me to guest-write a couple articles for her blog and we have already three events scheduled that we will be working together! The Bay Area Creative community is amazing! You can go read Kim's blog post here! I was also featured on the Bay Area Model Feature page on Instagram, an account with over 10k followers.
3. Speaking of the styled shoot, IT WAS CRAZY! We got kicked off our first location choice and had to make a spur of the moment decision to drive to Santa Cruz. The weather in Santa Cruz was absolutely TERRIBLE. It was windy, cold, and poured rain in the last few minutes we were there. It was quite the learning experience to have it go horribly wrong, but the pictures certainly don't reflect it! The pictures actually turned out incredible and if you have not seen them yet, you should!
March is going to be a quieter month photography-wise since I will be spending most of the month focusing on my styled shoots in April. I have two styled shoots scheduled, one that I am styling and another I will just be photographing, Both are going to be at the Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill, CA. My styled shoot on April 12 will be with Kim Baker Beauty, sQuinks Art, Brides of California, and some baby kittens looking to be adopted!! I am super excited for this shoot because I have a whole month to plan it out and I know it is going to go 1000 times better than my first styled shoot. If the photos from that awful day can look as good as they do, then my styled shoot in April should be to die for! If you want to see the Pinterest board for this shoot, here it is!
Another side note you may be interested in hearing is that Sean (the boyfriend) and I got selected to model in another photographer's boho-elopement styled shoot next week on March 11th. Sean and I will get to feature our lame modeling skills and dorky love for each other with Irina Vantresca, a photographer that is getting a lot of notice lately in the photo-community! It's super cool that she wants to work with me and has already been teaching me a lot about publishing and working on styled shoots!
That's all I have for now! Thank you again for all your love and support in my endeavors to become a world travelling photographer! You guys are what keep me going!

"Acmes Patient Satisfaction Survey, the only survey empaneled by the Quality Council of India to conduct third party patient satisfaction survey for the Indian Hospitals.
As your hospitals takes a step further towards quality we invite you go through our brochure and to mail us any query on the same to BG Menon at firstname.lastname@example.com
Patient Satisfaction Surveys are an essential requirement for Hospitals going in for either the ISO 9001 or the NABH Accreditation. ACME's Consultants work closely with the Hospital Management to develop and run a PSS Program that would periodically assess patient responses and thereby monitor the quality of care the Hospitals provide.
Now ACME is offering to conduct PSS on behalf of Hospitals as an independent Third Party Agency, as an important quality improvement tool. Based on our skills built up over the last 10 years in this area, we expect to be able to add considerable value to the Hospitals by developing and conducting the surveys in a manner that will help them find out what actually the patients think about the Hospital. Based on the findings ACME would give a report with a clear roadmap for improvement.
Our experience has shown that Patient Satisfaction Surveys provide the Hospital with a simple method to improve clinical performance and profitability by identifying the root causes of clinician and patient behaviour and allowing action targeted directly at those root causes. The improvement is thus focused, through a deeper understanding of the patients experience in each aspect of care, ensuring critical opportunities for improvement are not missed.
Another huge gain we expect to derive for the Hospitals from Patient Surveys is the opportunity for benchmarking their quality of services against the 'best practices' in the sector, in each specialty, area or department, helping in setting targets for improvement and for periodical monitoring.
A properly designed and conducted Survey also help in better Risk Management, through early detection and quick responses, an 'early warning system" for possible lawsuits. Surveys definitely improve the overall performance across the Hospital.

|Dog training apron (mobile phone centrally, peaking out of its pocket)
|Selfie with Dog Training apron on!
I checked around my stash and found a remnant of ticking fabric which was just the right weight. The green fabric is quilting weight cotton and has a tiny white polka dot. It was a remnant too. The Labrador retriever fabric was also in my stash--that extra pocket was a last minute addition.
I started by making a tube of fabric from a piece of ticking and an piece of the green cotton of the same size. I left the two ends of the tube open so I could add the apron ties at the end.
|Tube with both ends still open.
Then I cut another piece of ticking the same size as the first one. I used the 60 degree marking on my quilting ruler to cut both ends of the rectangle at an angle. Then I cut a piece of green cotton the same size. I sewed them, right sides together, leaving a couple inches at the bottom so I could turn it inside out. Then I sewed the open edge closed.
|Large central pocket
|Hook and loop closure tape on the back side of the large pocket
I added a small pocket to the center of the large pocket so I can carry more than one type of dog treat or poop bags (responsible dog people always have a few on board}.
I next sewed the large pocket to the back of the apron and added two lines of stitching just lateral to the small pocket with the dog fabric to create the pocket for my phone.
Finally I made two ties from the ticking fabric and sewed them into place.
Success! The slanted pocket keeps a small bag of treats open and upright, the little pocket works well, and the mobile phone pocket is perfect.
Now, off to train the dogs!

"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors." - Jim Morrison It's a little bit funny–looking back sometimes. Places, objects, feelings… When you think in retrograde you can spot the defining moments that shaped you to be the person you are today. When Michael picked me up early that Friday morning it was a gloomy overcast day in late June, just the way I like it. Our first stop for the day was LA's crown jewel, the Beverly Hills Hotel, specifically the Fountain Coffee Room. It was his first time ever to eat there, I lost count of how many times I have been. As we ordered our coffees along with our breakfast–the signature blueberry pancakes for me and eggs benedict for him. Sipping on the hot coffee, my mind started to wake up and conversation really started to flow. He asked me about the hotel–why it means so much to me personally, and especially aesthetically. I told him about all of the breakfasts that I've had with my mother there, the birthday celebrations, and of course, just strolling around the grounds and the gardens blossoming with so much diversity and color. This place has always been such an inspiration to me as an artist, especially the iconic Martinique wallpaper that shrink wraps the hallways and is the definite symbol of the hotel. After we finished breakfast we walked around and took in the sights before we were on our way to the next stop of the day, the Huntington Library and Gardens in Pasadena. At this point it was later in the morning and the overcast skies started to clear up and the sun began to shine. The Huntington Gardens is another beloved gem, and actually my favorite place in the LA area. We started out the afternoon in the rose garden, walking amongst countless roses of every color, the air sitting heavily with the sweetest aroma. Our conversation steered into the philosophical, the lessons learnt from personal trials and victories, and how they shaped to make the person that is now present. I feel an artist's mission, at least my own personal one, is to capture the past, present, and the future. To feel nostalgia and longing of what once was, predict the ambiguous tomorrow, and to be in the present and know euphoria and agony all in one moment. After strolling through the other gardens, the Chinese and Bonsai being the favorite of the day with all the new botanical varieties that were now in their summer bloom, we arrived at the Zen rock garden. I sat down on the wooden bench and looked out upon the smooth ridges that were drawn into the pebbles. You could hear the waterfall faintly in the distance, the warmth of the sun was pleasant, and the feeling was peaceful and still, just being in the moment. It was a lovely day, and I'm glad I got to share my little havens that afternoon with my friend.

Michael Mooney: American Writer, Mayborn Magazine, July 2015, SPJ Mark of Excellence Award
"In his pursuit of story, Mooney spent two years hounding Glenn Beck's publicist for an interview with the ultra-conservative TV and radio personality, who is famously shy about interviews. He followed former Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington to his home in New Orleans just to knock on his door and have a few words with him, something the Rangers head of communications already had forbidden. Another source, a victim of rape, torture and kidnapping, refused to talk to any other reporter after the trial had ended, but she caved after Mooney drove to her country home and left her Belgian chocolates, purple flowers and a letter."

Hi folks Kathleen here with an easy tutorial and my thoughts on the much debated pros and cons of the various nape adjusters on wigs. What is the best? What is your favorite?
There are three main types of nape adjusters on wigs. Image two illustrates them all in a side by side comparison. Upper left (my Logan by TOB in Sangria) illustrates the velcro type. Upper right (my Aubrey in Tangelo by TOB) illustrates the hook type adjusters and then lastly on the bottom (My Anatolia in CWAP by BelleTress) illustrates the bra type buckle adjusters. Nape adjusters all do the same job. They make a wigs circumference smaller where need be. Some do the job better than others.
Velcro are my favorite adjusters. Why? You can get an exact fit and it doesn't come undone or loosen up the entire time you are wearing your wig. If you are new to wigs there is one thing to be mindful of with velcro adjusters.
TIP: Once you make your adjustments leave the velcro where it is. Do not undo and redo the velcro every time you wear your wig. The soft felt on the nape will get fuzzy and the "teeth" on the velcro won't work as well. Even when you wash your wig leave the adjusters where they are.
My next favorite are the hook type adjusters. My complaint is the fit isn't as precise as velcro and in my experience the hooks can unhook from the loops just from normal everyday wear. There is an easy remedy to that though. Once you have made the adjustment and you are happy with the fit take a stitch or two with a needle & thread so the hook can't pop out of the loop.
My least favorite are the bra type adjusters because they loosen up during wear. The ends also have to be tucked away so they don't show. Now you can take a stitch once you have your fit perfect just like with the hook type adjusters but to me it's not worth it. Another problem I have encountered are the buckles used are often cheap plastic that crack and break and then are useless.
Image 3 illustrates my Anatolia by BelleTress after I removed the plastic buckles used in BelleTress's bra type adjusters and before I replaced them with velcro. Anatolia came to me with cracked adjusters already. Not really shocking since they are flimsy plastic to begin but still very annoying.
I used my old dull kitchen scissors to cut off the remaining plastic buckle. This was very easy and didn't take any strength on my part to achieve. Just be careful not to cut the elastic adjuster band.
After searching the web for thin velcro to use I came across this velcro (image 5). It's for making doll clothes. I wasn't quite sure what color to get so I got a brown and a beige. Its double sided. In my case I only needed one piece (the hook side) for each side of the nape for the elastic bands because the soft felt nape acts as (the loop side).
All you need is a spool of all purpose thread a needle scissors the velcro of course and the most important item a thimble. I "added" one to my photo in image 6. I couldn't find mine to save my life so I used the side of my scissors which was not ideal. 😜 I cut two pieces of velcro about 3/4" long. I didn't need to pin these pieces in place. All I did was hold the velcro in place with my fingers while I sewed. These pieces are so little it wasn't cumbersome at all. I sewed it on the top (the end) and two sides. This velcro is very thin and soft and if I had a thimble the time to sew it on would have been cut considerable.
TIP: Use a thimble. 😉😂
Image 7 illustrates the after. It actually was easier to sew on than I thought (especially if a thimble is used 😜). I'm no seamstress but I think it came out looking pretty professional.
While I was at it I removed the tags as well. The take away here is if you haven't purchased a wig because it doesn't have velcro adjusters now you can. Just replace the nape adjusters with velcro. Its easy peasy!

Paparazzi Calls Suri Cruise Awful Name -- Is This Where We're At Now?
So, just so you're caught up, we're cursing at children now, just because their parents are famous. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's daughter Suri Cruise was called a brat and a bitch by the paparazzi when walking to the car with her mom. She is 7-years-old.
Is this where we are now? Sniping at children because, shocker, they don't like getting manhandled and stalked when walking with their mother?
It's plain and simple: children can't be bitches.
When the paparazzo called Suri a bitch, he must've forgotten what every other 7-year-old is like. They're super cute a lot of the time, funny and irreverent, but refuse them an ice cream or tell them no, and you've got a full meltdown on your hands. This isn't because they're entitled little snots who feel they have a god-given right to their own way, it's because they're semi-formed tiny people, and they're still learning how to behave and what's right and wrong. Let's not mistake a little foot-stomping and pouting for bitchiness, lest we end up looking like dumb bitches ourselves.
When battling her way towards the car, Suri apparently yelled "stop it!" to the crowd, as well as "get out of the way!" when her route to the car door was blocked. As an experienced babysitter, I can tell you nastier things have been said by 7-year-olds in friendly games of badminton. So why is that enough to deserve a photographer's vehement ire?
The fact is, at no point did Suri Cruise choose to be famous. She has famous parents who dress her well and take her out of the house, and that's why we are constantly inundated with pictures and news about her when Katie takes her shopping, or to the museum.
It's time to set the record straight: you can't go about calling children names because they don't want to help further your career. If an adult celebrity starts screaming and freaking out, judge accordingly, but children are not adults, even if they're famous. I seriously doubt we're all OK with belonging to a society that curses at children, so let's cool it a little bit, people. Put on your big boy pants and accept that sometimes, photographing celebrity babies is not worth the trouble and yes, Suri Cruise has temper tantrums like every other kid.
Deal with it.

Romancing the Stone
One woman's real relationship with faux bling
I've loved rhinestones for decades though it's a love I've rarely dared to declare. Not only because of their less-than-savory association with Las Vegas lounge acts and home shopping networks, but also because of the disapproval of friends.
Never mind that rhinestones possess an illustrious past and were actually once quite expensive and rare. The first rhinestones, which surfaced around the mid 19th century, were lead crystals said to be sourced from the Rhine River (hence their name) and because of their scarcity, only...
