Hi there stampers! So big oopsie that my card for this week's TGIF Challenges is a little late. It has been a crazy week at my day job and so many things in life getting in the way of stamping. As the saying goes, better late than never right?!?! This week's challenge is a color theme using So Saffron, Poppy Parade, and Pacific Point.
I decided to use the leaves from the Blended Seasons stamp set and create a fall inspired card. I can't believe it is already August and the leaves will be changing before you know it. I stamped the leaf cluster using Versamark ink onto some watercolor paper and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I then used my ink pads to create a palette for watercoloring by smooshing the ink pad onto my craft mat. I watercolored the leaves with the three colors from the challenge this week and then fussy cut out the images with my paper snips. I die cut a piece of vellum using the coordinating framelits called Stitched Seasons and then heat embossed the same leaf images onto the die cut. I turned the vellum over and colored the back of the leafs with Stampin' Blends so that the color shows through the front of the die cut.
I embossed a panel of Crumb Cake using the Subtle Embossing folder and added some ink splatters with the same ink colors used to watercolor the leaves. I then adhered the vellum die cut onto another die cut of the same shape made out of So Saffron cardstock and adhered this to the embossed panel. I added the leaves using dimensionals and added some gold sequins from the Metallic Sequin Assortment. I adhered the entire panel onto a side folding A2 card base made from So Saffron cardstock.

Last year we launched our practical cognitive development workshop which is organised by Francesca Scattorelli who, having worked for over thirty years with deaf children, now works as an adviser and teacher at our school.
The project stems from a series of scientific stimuli, demonstrated and explained through didactic-educational practices which consider physical sensations as fundamental for the development of personal identity in the progression of cognitive processes.
The workshop offers a unique approach to education, revealed through the creation of new, innumerable and effective didactic methods. The workshop welcomes the children to view the world with an unending amount of imagination and possibility without stereotyping or generalising.

Ok, so Batman would probably have been pretty handy in an engineering lab, Thor could teach the history department a thing or two about Norse mythology and Professor X must have gotten a doctorate from somewhere.
But could any of these guys actually hack it as research students? Could they stare down a literature review at 2AM with only a cat and a lukewarm coffee for company? Of course not.
PhD students, on the other hand, would make great superheroes. Why? Because they already have superpowers, of course. Here are four of the most amazing:
Everyone knows the way a classic superhero narrative works.
Doctor Deathpants finally unveils his evil plan to melt the polar ice-caps using an over-heating mobile phone charger and, before anyone's even had a chance to work out which university awarded a higher degree to a maniac, it's almost too late to save the day.
At this point, real superheroes inevitably go through a moment of crisis as the world looks on in dismay.
Not PhD students though. It's a proven truth that the mean effectiveness of a PhD student actually increases in inverse proportion to their distance from a crucial deadline.
Only five minutes left to save the known universe? That's nothing compared to writing a conference paper, finishing your latest chapter draft and grading six undergraduate essays with time left to catch the early bird special at the local pizza parlour.
Nobody ever sees Superman stop for a burger, spots Catwoman lurking around the back of a fish and chip shop or catches Mr Fantastic using his elastic arms to foil the nefarious schemes of a broken vending machine.
That's because, as years of films, TV shows and comics have taught us, the most fundamental superpower of all is not having to eat, drink or sleep. Instead, superheroes get their energy from other sources, like the sun's magnetic rays, magic amazon rituals or Batman's massive bank account.
But PhD students don't need any of these things, which is probably just as well, come to think of it: postgraduate researchers aren't renowned for their association with pseudo-science, supernatural hokum or corporate empires.
Instead, PhD students possess the power to convert far more mundane materials into a near infinite source of research power. Who needs gamma radiation, ancient magic or a trust fund when you've got a pot noodle, half a bag of crisps and a lot of coffee?
A good secret identity is crucial to any superhero's success. You just don't get in the door unless you're able to render yourself unrecognisable with a pair of spectacles, a slightly gruff voice or an unorthodox approach to wearing pants.
PhD students laugh at such amateurish approaches to subterfuge. For them, disguise is a part of everyday life. In fact, the world is full of PhD student superheroes, living in secret amongst us.
That barista who served you your coffee this morning? He's two steps away from developing a new method of growing organic super-coffee in Essex.
The young woman who listened to you complain about your slow internet connection speed for fifteen minutes yesterday? She's actually part of an elite lab, working hard to ensure that you'll soon be able to get ultra-fast mobile broadband ten feet underground, using only a spoon and two safety pins.
The teaching assistant who wowed you with the clarity of their exegesis on Kant's Critique of Pure Reason? Until last night, they hadn't even read it (see superpower number 1).
When the going really gets tough, everything seems lost and no one has any idea what the plot for a fourth film should be, all the best superheroes can call in super-friends with a selection of complimentary abilities that will help defeat the bad guys, save the day and quadruple box-office receipts.
PhD students can do this too of course (except maybe the bit with the box-office receipts). All they have to do is invoke the power of… Interdisciplinarity!
Gasp as Engineering Woman designs the ultimate all-terrain super-vehicle, based on plans for a long-forgotten steam-powered unicycle, unearthed by History Man and translated by Captain Linguistics.
Marvel (without copyright infringement) as Economics-Boy explains the financial failings of Doctor Deathpants's underground volcano lair, distracting him long enough for Chemistry Girl to deactivate his doomsday device using a teaspoon of water and a pinch of sodium metabisulfite.
... So, next time the world is threatened with destruction by an arch-villain with a silly name and dodgy qualifications… who are you going to call?
The postgraduate research office, that's who.

Latinos and the American Dream
The demographic makeup of the American population is changing rapidly, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the nation's many Latino communities. Long considered minorities in the political, economic and social sense, Latin Americans now play a bigger role than ever in shaping the nation, and this will only become more true if current population trends continue.
According to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau, as the population of the U.S. grows to nearly 417 million people by 2060, its cultural and ethnic makeup will only become more diverse1. As of 2014, the 55 million Americans who identify as Hispanic will more than double to 119 million by 2060. This will amount to more than 28 percent of the estimated population total for the nation in that year.
This massive growth means that trends among Latino Americans will play an increasingly important role in shaping the nation's economy, especially in the personal finance industry. To get a better sense of how Latinos currently manage their finances, as well as their feelings on the future of the American economy, Pew Research conducted extensive polling of Latino and Hispanic households2. Their findings are useful for those curious on how personal financial management may change in the coming decades.
The dominant theme among Pew's research was one of optimism among Latinos in America. Since the recession created significant uncertainty for the economy almost 10 years ago, Latino and Hispanic consumers seem to have adopted a more positive outlook on their financial situation compared to the average American. Around 81 percent of Hispanics surveyed in 2015 told Pew they expected their family's financial situation to improve over the next year, while only 61 percent of the general public agreed.
When asked if their finances were in good shape, however, slightly fewer Hispanic families than average had positive remarks. Forty percent of Hispanics surveyed said their financial situation was in excellent or good shape, compared to 43 percent overall. On the bright side, Hispanics' views of their own situation has only improved since the recession, while the general public remains stagnant.
How America's source of immigrants has changed over time:
— PewResearch Hispanic (@PewHispanic) July 11, 2016
Still, Hispanic communities face challenges in the workforce, despite gains among other groups of Americans. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found the unemployment rate to be 6.4 percent among Hispanics at the end of 2015, still higher than its recent low of 5 percent in 2005. The nation's overall unemployment rate came in at 4.8 percent over the same period.
Pew's analysis also found Latinos ranked behind the median in other key indicators. Household income for Hispanics in 2014 averaged $42,500 compared to $53,700 for all households. Hispanics also generally had lower net worth per household and higher rates of poverty than the national average.
The reasons behind these concerning trends are difficult to fully understand. As Pew reported, more Hispanic families - 53 percent - said their income was falling behind the cost of living. This rate remained unchanged between 2014 and 2015, despite progress among other groups.
Despite these struggles, Latino survey respondents still overwhelmingly held a positive outlook on the financial future of themselves and their children. Hispanic families were much more optimistic on money matters than the average American household, with 81 percent expecting their position to improve. That's a 14 percent change over 2008. And 72 percent of all Hispanics expected their children to be better off in the future.

Review: The Vanderbilt Grill
It's easy to imagine being part of the 1 percent here, even if it's only for dinner.
Nothing in Rhode Island feels quite like Newport and nothing in Newport evokes the city's spirit quite like the Grace Vanderbilt hotel. Tucked away on Mary Street, it doesn't announce itself the way the Chanler — perched over the ocean — does. Nor does it offer the sprawling Gatsby-like lawns of Castle Hill. Instead, it insinuates secrets behind its brick façade, its small corners protecting murmured whispers and illicit relationships.
The edifice has an unremarkable story: Built in 1909 by Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, it was given to the city in honor of his father, Cornelius, and operated as a YMCA for seventy-five years. But, refashioned as a hotel, it has come to embody the legacy of Alfred Vanderbilt's enduring scandal — an affair that ended his marriage as well as his lover's. References to both his paramour and his wife punctuate the hotel's design (see the gold-stenciled names above the fireplace), but in a manner demure enough to present as romantic rather than ruinous. Proletariat details ought never seep into the fantasy of Newport and the Grace Vanderbilt manages an effortless suspension of reality. Everything in sight is plush but snug, the very manifestation of a Newport goal that one could spend their days reading books and meandering one's own home looking at art. Each alcove offers something slightly gilded, enhancing the appearance of everything from simply lovely to full-on luxury. Even the dining room, painted in robin's egg blue, looks like a Tiffany box — refined but relaxing enough to sit in front of the fire and contemplate tomorrow's sojourns through the conservatory. It's an intimate room for a hotel with a small bar and enough tufted banquettes to languidly drink a cocktail. The fireplace centers the dining room and, as with every vignette at Grace Vanderbilt, suggests subliminally that you're at home. (One of the many.) Even the waitstaff pretends (convincingly) to know you, calling everyone by surnames gleaned from reservations or introductions.
But as ceremonial as the setting is, the Grill has a more predictable approach to food than the hotel's initial restaurant, Muse, which enjoyed the showmanship of a culinary endeavor, carrying plates to the table under cloches that emitted plumes of smoke. The Grill is perhaps the most conventional corner of the hotel, focusing on familiar dishes that might appeal to weekday dining as much as a fête.
It is fundamentally surf and turf — the easier way to please a disparate crowd. Caesar salad ($15) makes an appearance as does a delicate lobster and shrimp salad with diminutive slices of mango and haricot vert. The latter embodies the Vanderbilt approach: subtle in flavor but decadent at its core and in its price ($21). Even a charcuterie plate ($19) avoids assertiveness, offering small shavings of prosciutto and salami with just a swirl of mustard and a few cornichons. If there's an exception to the rule, it's in the octopus appetizer ($18), one large tentacle marinated in soy and mirin and cooked until it resembles steak in taste and texture. It's an aggressive dish that looks as if it's mocking or babysitting the minute potatoes and slivers of avocado served on the arm's perimeter. But this is where the fun lies, with the brazen uncle who overturns every demure family dinner.
Entrees revert back to safe territory: a filet served with rich potato puree and bone marrow demi glace ($44); salmon with Brussels sprouts and enough bacon to call it a meat dish; guinea hen with tart tomato confit. Among the more interesting dishes is a pork chop ($32) that reads as reserved on the menu but eats more as if it came from a Texas ranch: oversized and overtly masculine. Sides fall to the background in the shadow of the mammoth meat but that, in its own way, is a uniquely American enterprise.
Given how fastidious the aesthetic is, the menu comes across as casual. A $17 burger is worthy of its price tag but the fries might be more at home presented in a silver cup rather than being strewn across the plate. Pastas are equally mainstream — linguini with clams and lobster mac and cheese — but the pappardelle with short rib ($26) gets its allure from a heady, rustic mixture of dried cherries and briny olives.
There's an opportunity for heavily ornamented desserts but most follow suit in that they are sculpted versions of a recognizable image. Creme brulee changes flavors from chocolate mint to key lime while sorbets rotate from rhubarb to raspberry, bright with the promise of summer. Even golfball-sized beignets ($12) take on an air of elegance when served with housemade ice cream and candied walnuts. But whimsy is a persona left to others as the Grill maintains an attitude concerned with graciousness and gentility. Historically, however, drinking is still allowed under the umbrella of decorum and there are plenty of ways to do it.
One would expect a wine list affixed to the name Vanderbilt to be gilded and the Grill's options don't disappoint. It's not a long list but it's a good one with glasses running north of $12 and worth it. Cocktails follow a monthly theme (turns out billionaires have a sense of humor) and are marked with ingredients worthy of the pedigree: pear puree, bergamot, lavender syrup and lychee. Dom Perignon is available by the glass for $60 but — honestly — what celebration could be punctuated with just a glass when you've convinced yourself that you've just been gifted a turn-of-the-twentieth-century mansion? The goal at the Grill is to mimic residential life at its grandest stage and though everything is dressed up in ornamental style, it still acknowledges that sometimes we just want a night at home with the foods we know best. Wear an ascot with your robe and you'll settle right into the world of a Vanderbilt in residence.

Today, the House of Representatives passed, by a 254-161 vote, the Systemic Risk Designation Improvement Act of 2016 (the "Act"), which is designed to relieve regional and specialty banking organizations from enhanced prudential standards and heightened supervision requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act. The Act would, after a one-year phase-in period, repeal the $50-billion-in-assets threshold and instead would impose such requirements only on (1) BHCs that have been designated as G-SIBs by the Financial Stability Board (the "FSB") on the date the Act is enacted and (2) other BHCs affirmatively designated as systemically important by the FSOC using the indicator-based measurement approach established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which would require the FSOC to consider each BHC's size, interconnectedness, complexity and global cross-jurisdictional activities, as well as the extent of readily available substitutes for services the BHC provides. The Basel Committee's indicator-based measurement approach is more quantitative than the approach the FSOC currently uses to designate nonbank financial companies as systemically important, which uses statutory factors, as well as an analytical framework and an assessment of transmission channels described in guidance, and permits greater consideration of qualitative factors and exercise of discretion.[1]
The Act would exempt regional and specialty banking organizations from many of the requirements to which they are, or upon adoption of final rules will be, subject under Title I of the Dodd-Frank Act. As a result, regional and specialty banking organizations would no longer be automatically subject to requirements to prepare living wills and submit to supervisory stress testing, most of the Federal Reserve's enhanced prudential standards rules,[2] the single-party counterparty credit limit and the requirement that the Federal Reserve prescribe early remediation requirements. The Act would also restrict the Federal Reserve's authority under Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act to prescribe more stringent capital, leverage and liquidity requirements and limits, such as the current G-SIB surcharge, to designated systemically important BHCs and nonbank SIFIs. The Act would not affect broadly applicable capital, leverage and liquidity requirements and limits that have been imposed under other statutory authority.
The vote on the Act was not strictly along party lines, with 20 Democrats joining the Republicans voting in favor of the Act. The Act was co-sponsored by five Republicans and four Democrats, and an earlier version of the bill passed the House Financial Services Committee last year with the support of one-third of the Democratic Committee members. This rare show of bipartisanship, notwithstanding the threat of a Presidential veto and the low likelihood that the Act will be passed in the lame-duck Senate, reflects the strong sense of many that the enhanced regulation of regional and specialty banking organizations has gone too far and needs recalibration. We suspect that some senior financial regulators may share that sense; Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo has suggested that the $50 billion asset threshold should be raised to $100 billion and that BHCs with between $100 billion and $250 billion in assets should be subject to a limited subset of enhanced prudential standards. Indeed, the Act's policy goal of lightening the regulatory burden on regional and specialty banking organizations is shared with various predecessor bills, some of which aimed to simply raise the asset threshold for enhanced prudential regulation to a much higher number, for example $250 billion or $500 billion.
In some respects, the Act is in tension with House Financial Services Committee Chair Jeb Hensarling's Financial CHOICE Act. The Act would preserve the FSOC's authority to designate nonbank financial companies as systemically important and expand its authority by authorizing it to designate regional and specialty banking organizations as systemically important, though it is expected that, under the incoming Administration, the FSOC would be unlikely to do so. In light of both the MetLife suit and potential changes to cost-benefit analysis, as set forth in the Financial CHOICE Act, any attempt to designate regional and specialty banking organizations faces an uphill battle. By contrast, the Financial CHOICE Act would strip the FSOC of its authority to designate nonbank financial companies as systemically important and would extend regulatory relief to banking organizations based on their leverage ratios and supervisory ratings, not their asset size.
The Act would also hardwire into federal law both the current G-SIB designations made by the FSB and the Basel Committee's indicator-based approach to measuring systemic importance.[3] We believe that the Act represents the first time that Basel Committee and FSB standards, which can be changed by those organizations, would be hardwired into a U.S. statute and that recognition of this fact was what prompted Rep. Warren Davidson to add a provision clarifying that the Act may not be construed as "broadly applying international standards," except as specifically provided in the Act. The Financial CHOICE Act leans the other direction by limiting the ability of U.S. federal financial regulators to make agreements in bodies that set international financial standards.
Although the Act would not exempt G-SIBs from enhanced prudential standards or heightened supervisory requirements, it would open the door to the possibility of future regulatory relief, however unlikely such relief may be in the near future. Consistent with the process currently applicable to nonbank SIFIs, the Act would require the FSOC to reevaluate at least annually all designations of BHCs as systemically important. The FSOC could rescind the designation of a BHC as systemically important, although doing so would require the votes of two-thirds of the voting members of the FSOC, including the Secretary of the Treasury.
As a result of the passage of the Act, we expect some form of regulatory relief for regional and specialty banking organizations to be part of Rep. Hensarling's Financial CHOICE Act 2.0, though it remains to be seen what means that bill will adopt to achieve this goal.

Jean le Tard

Aethelflaed once again proved herself a wise leader. The arrangements that she had built with merchants continued through the winter, and trade in the cold winter months was profitable, fully offsetting the effects of the year's poor harvest.
Before declaration of Campaign Actions, the Anglo-Saxons choose to gain +1 point of Wealth because of Aethelflaed's Learn'd trait.
Finally, the army was ready. Aethelflaed chose the strongest of her warriors and assigned then her war banner to carry into battle. Mercia was going to war at last.
The Anglo-Saxons choose to invade York, the capital of the Anglo-Danes.
And so, Aethelflaed led her army across the northern border of her land into the province of York, to claim it from the Anglo-Danes as her own. Aethlflaed's force attacked The Burh defended by Alfred Steptoe's warband, the Anglo-Danes having fled back to the city of Jorvik into hastily prepared defensive positions.
With the defenders handicapped by The Penny the Anglo-Saxons charged over the walls and into combat with Anglo-Danish warriors defending their Lord. The warriors were wiped out in the ensuing melee, leaving Alfred exposed to the continuing assault. But Alfred showed his experience, surpassing his deceased son in skill, and repelled his assailants twice in desperate fight. A second unit of warriors arrived to support Alfred, launching an attack on the Anglo-Saxon levy and throwing them back across the walls. Their retreat exposed a fresh unit of Anglo-Saxon hearthguard, who came under heavy fire from defending archers manning the tower. One man fell while the remaining three renewed the attack, again mauling the Anglo-Danish warriors and leaving Alfred fighting for his life alone. God was with the Anglo-Danish Lord, though, who not only survived the onslaught, but killed all of the enemy hearthguard singlehandedly.
With disappointment, Aetheflaed surveyed the battlefield and realised the day was lost. Being a ruler of compassion and mercy she ordered her warband to retreat, to lick their wounds and fight another day.
Aethelflaed paid one point of Wealth for use of The Penny. Her force lost one Hearthguard, three Levy and four Warriors. She recruited to replace all the Warriors but was forced to merge two Hearthguard units and two Levy units to make her Roster legal.
The Anglo-Saxons hear of Norman plans to raid the south of their country, and hurriedly return to East Wessex to defend their homeland.
Aethelflaed had little time to relax. The disappointment of the failure to capture Jorvik had now been compounded with the news that a Norman army, thinking her nation now vulnerable, was intent on raiding the south coast. Without delay she gave the order: the army was to assemble again, sooner than planned, and forced march back to Wessex to face this new enemy.
They arrived just in time. The Normans had made safe landing on the coast but had not yet found their quarry. Arriving at the town of Hastings ahead of the raiders, Aethelflaed ordered valuables to be gathered together to be taken inland to a safer location. She and her chosen warriors would protect the baggage train on its journey. She had heard that enemy forces were nearby, and in an effort to escape them had sent men with gold ahead to attempt to bribe the enemy to keep their distance. The Normans, some of whom had been happy to take the bribe, were hesitant when the forces first met. But Aethelflaed remained cautious and screened the baggage train with a strong shieldwall of her toughest warriors. They were met by a force of mounted Norman knights and retainers, led by the Norman Lord himself, Sybald, a knight of some renown who was known to have travelled to many lands.
Aethelflaed had expected Sir Sybald, with his wide knowledge of the world, to have come up with a cunning plan. Perhaps Norman tradition got the better of him. Regardless, his force of mounted knights and retainers, supported by some enthusiastic but ill-equipped peasants, chose to avoid any form of complexity, attempting instead to break through the screen by force. Again and again they charged, as Normans do, but the shields of the Anglo-Saxons held strong and those brave knights fell to a man. Their Lord, battered and beaten, who had fought in the front of the line, was among the fallen, though Aethelflaed learned later that he had survived. And while the Norman peasants scoured their own dead for scavenged plunder, the Anglo-Saxons carried on their way unimpeded and escorted their baggage to safety.
The Anglo-Saxons spent 1 point of Wealth on The Penny, but gained +1 point of Reputation and +1 CVP for successfully defending. They lost 2 warriors, and recruited 6 new levy to their roster.
The Anglo-Saxons roll Upgrade Warriors on the Fate table at the end of the Campaign Season, but as they already have the maximum permitted number of units of Warriors on their roster, they are obliged to decline.

Got really excited when I found xBooks, it's exactly what I'm looking for. Running Excel 2003 with QB Enterprise 2016. XBooks trial connects to the sample company file and the "Report Tools" section functions all work so xBooks is reading data from the company. BUT, the "GLActual" and other Excel functions all throw the "#NAME?" error. Uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. Ran it on another system with Excel 2010 and QB Ent 2015, no luck. Ran it on Excel 2003 and QB Pro 2011 and also no luck. Incidentally the xBooks trial thinks my trial is expired and asks for registration when I launch it. I just installed it today for the first time.
Any ideas please..?
Went through the threads on this forum and was disappointed to see so many complaints on the product just not working.. it's a shame, this is an awesome idea.
We are currently working on the next version of this product. Unfortunately, our resources have been reallocated due to bugs in the QB 2016 API. Our new target for the next version is the end of this year.
I am having similar problem. Xbooks has been working fine for a year and now returns #NAME? instead of the value for both the GLBalance and GLActual formulae. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
Interestingly, it works ok when I run "Put Standard Report on Sheet" so I know it's capable of returning QB data. It just returns #NAME? when I try to run "Report Based in Formulas" or update an existing formula. Can you help?
that provably is happening because it is not connecting to QuickBooks. Can you check that? also can post the log files please?

Metalfields is an annual celebration of metal, remembering the life of local music fan Kris Field.
A passionate supporter of live music, Kris lived with a condition knows as Morquio syndrome. And despite feeling unwell one night in 2015 he still went to see his favourite band, Azreal live at the Cooly Hotel. Turns out it that gig would be his last.
"Kris was our number one supporter and was always at our shows, not only supporting us but every other band on the stage," said Azreal's Jimmy Glinster. "We loved seeing him and always took time to hang out and have a chat and a drink or ten. The little guy could drink most of us under the table!"
"When Kris passed we were asked if our music could be played at his funeral and of course we agreed. Little did we know that the last track on our 'Premonition' album, a heavy ballad aptly titled 'Ghosts', would be played as the final song for the ceremony. When the song played it broke my heart and when the first note of my solo hit, it was too much and I had to leave the building to pull myself together."
"Never would I have though that a piece of music that I was part of creating would reach such a personal and emotional level for me and little did I know how much our music had actually reached Kris to the point where his family and friends insisted that it be a part of our final goodbyes to him. Telling this story stills brings a tear to my eye," Jimmy said.
Shortly after his death, Kris' mates rallied to bring the local metal community together in his honour. Three in particular. Legendary sound engineer, Chippy (John Chipchase) and Azreal band members Chris Dennis and Jimmy Glinster curated a memorial show full of the things that Kris loved.
Three years on and that concept is still kicking goals. And the 2018 lineup is one that would have left Kris Fields frothing.
Azreal, Decryptus,. Massic, Cakes, From Crisis to Collapse, Snake Mountain (being Dan Maynard's last gig with the band for a while), Nowhere Else, Kaosphere, Elephant, Monster Fodder and Sarah Joh will lay down the heavy vibes for punters when Metalfields takes over the Cooly Hotel this December.
And here's a hot tip.Azreal have never performed 'Ghosts' live, despite it being one of their most-streamed songs, but Jimmy Glinsters tells us, Metalfields will see it have its stage debut.
"That's if we can all keep our shit together," he said.

Metalfields 3, presented by The Dirty Peso + Young Henrys and takes place at Cooly Hotel on Saturday 8 December. Tickets $20 on the door, or cheaper via pre-sale on Oztix.

Muzammil Ahmed, left, is chairman of the Michigan Muslim Community Council. Steve Spreitzer is president and CEO of the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion.
The recent comments by Kalkaska Village President Jeff Sieting calling for the killing of "every last Muslim" must not be taken lightly or ignored.
At a time when 62 percent of Americans do not know a Muslim and acts of hate against Muslims are at record highs, these comments, coupled with the unending wave of national anti-Muslim rhetoric, create a dangerous situation for our Muslim neighbors. Non-Muslim residents, including Hindus, Sikhs and others, also suffer from negative interactions with people who mistake them for Muslims.
As the home to one of the nation's largest population of Muslims, Michigan has benefited from their tremendous contributions to our economy and our communities. The Institute of Social Policy and Understanding's recent study of Muslims in Michigan found that while they make up only 2.75 percent of the population, Muslims account for 15.4 percent of all physicians. They collectively give $171 million to charity and are responsible for $5.5 billion in consumer spending.
The study also found that Muslims are the most ethnically diverse faith community in the state. They are the only faith community with no majority race, with 25 percent black, 24 percent white, 18 percent Asian, 18 percent Arab, 7 percent mixed race, and 5 percent Hispanic.
The irony of Sieting's ignorance is that his very life could one day be saved by one of the many Muslim doctors serving communities in the northwest part of our state.
During the 76 years the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion has served the state, we have seen the consequences of hate speech against our indigenous peoples, African Americans, Catholic immigrants, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, LGBT individuals and the physically challenged.
The Roundtable believes many Michiganders simply need to meet a Muslim to fully appreciate them as fellow human beings. We regularly refer interested people to their local hospital to meet a Muslim doctor, or advise them to reach out to their community mosque or the Michigan Muslim Community Council, which can help arrange an opportunity to learn about Islam and meet Muslims. Or they can watch "I am American," a 16-minute film by Dune Baydoun.
While there is much work to be done, the real story from Kalkaska is the hundreds of members of the community who are standing up against hatred.
We see this movement in communities across the state, where folks are seeking to make sure all their neighbors are treated fairly. We see mayors and city councils, school boards, police departments, religious congregations and businesses joining together for this cause.
While the good people of Kalkaska are embarrassed by their village president, they should also be proud of their resolve to refuse to be known as a community that condones hate speech. We are honored to serve this state and look forward to meeting our better angels in the days ahead.

September is National Cholesterol Education Month. It's used to remind Americans to have their cholesterol checked, so that they can take steps to better their health if needed. The American Heart Association advise that everyone over the age of 20 should be having their cholesterol and other risk factors checked every 5 years. Why is cholesterol important? Here's Cholesterol 101: everything you need to know.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is either made by the liver or consumed from the diet. Your body needs a certain amount of cholesterol, as it is a key component in the membranes of your cells. It also plays a role in the production of vitamin D, hormones, and bile acids, which help you to digest fat.
High cholesterol is a condition where you have too much cholesterol in your blood. There are usually no signs or symptoms, so unless you are checking your levels regularly, you may not be aware that there is a problem. People with high cholesterol have an increased risk of circulatory disease, heart attack and stroke so it's important you take steps to reduce you risk.
Types of Cholesterol
Cholesterol travels in the surrounded by a protein case known as a lipoprotein.
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are known as 'bad' cholesterol, as these are the type that build up in your arteries. It carries cholesterol from the liver to the cells that need it, however if you have too much of it builds up in the artery walls, which narrows the vessel over time, reducing flexibility. This may increase the risk of clots forming, which can lead to heart attacks or strokes.
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol is known as 'good' cholesterol. It helps remove the bad LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. Having too little HDL cholesterol can also raise your risk of heart disease.
What influences the levels of cholesterol in the blood?
Factors that effect cholesterol levels can be divided into those you can control, and those you cannot.
Age and genetics are two factors you cannot control. There are different hereditary factors such as familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited condition that causes high cholesterol from a very young age. Generally cholesterol levels will increase with age, so this is also a factor you cannot control.
Other factors you can control are your weight, dietary intake, physical activity levels and whether you smoke or not. Being overweight or obese, smoking and low physical activity levels all increase the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood. The relationship between food intake and high cholesterol has been debated for many years. It was thought that cholesterol in foods such as eggs and shellfish contributed to high cholesterol in humans; however now we know that this is not the case. The latest American dietary guidelines released in 2015 confirmed this, stating that "available evidence shows no appreciable relationship between consumption of dietary cholesterol and serum cholesterol".
How do I eat a diet to lower my cholesterol?
The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fat to 5 to 6 percent of daily calories and minimizing the amount of trans fat you eat. Trans fats are known to decrease the good cholesterol in your blood, and increase the bad. The FDA are working on removing transfats from the food supply by 2018, however until this happens it is important that you read the labels on your foods, and select products with as little trans fat as possible.
You should also aim to eat a diet high in soluble fiber. Choose foods that are high in soluble fiber such as oats, pulses, lentils, nuts, and plant foods. Soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol- try these pulse recipes to get started.
Remember that diet is just one part in an overall larger plan when it comes to managing your cholesterol. Discuss your options with your medical team to ensure you are taking the most effective steps possible.

20 surrendered slow lorises are released into their natural habitat
Twenty Javan slow lorises (Nycticebus javanicus) were translocated on Thursday, 30 August 2018, and are currently undergoing habituation at the Masigit-Kareumbi Conservation Forest Area, Bandung, West Java.
The 20 translocated lorises comprise seven males and 13 females. They go by the names; Iik, Colek, Merdeka, Najuna, Airin, Mojang, Jajaka, Haq, Gimbul, Tako, Zwitsal, Dove, Zohri, Yuna, Sari, Itih. In addition, there are two mother-infant pairs, namely Lia-Lio, and Petra-Petri.
The 20 protected primates are former pets and were surrendered by their owners to BBKSDA (The Conservation of Natural Resources Department), West Java, between 2015 and 2018. They were deemed fit for release into their natural habitat after passing a series of medical examinations and undergoing rehabilitation at IAR's primate centre, situated at the base of Mount Salak in Ciapus, Bogor, West Java.
"They have all undergone a long rehabilitation process involving quarantine, medical examinations, behavioural observations and behavioural enrichment. After being declared healthy, they were ready to be translocated and start habituation in a pre-surveyed location," said Nur Purba Priambada, IAR medical supervisor, in Bogor, West Java.
Purba explained that the rehabilitation process was carried out to reinforce the lorises' natural wild behaviours, because when they first arrived at the IAR centre, the condition of the lorises was extremely concerning. Most of them were suffering from stress, trauma and malnutrition which had altered their normal behavioural repertoire. They clearly had not been provided with appropriate treatment and care.
Upon completion of the rehabilitation period, the slow lorises, native to Java, were translocated to the Masigit-Kareumbi Conservation Forest Area in Bandung, where they are housed in open topped habituation enclosures to recover from potential stress caused by transportation and to give them an opportunity to adapt to their new wild environment.
The enclosures are erected in the release site using plastic fibre sheets and nets as the enclosure walls. They enclose a space with a good diversity of trees and plants that provide natural food sources to lorises. The lorises will spend between two and four weeks there until they show signs of adaptation to the new environment.
"While undergoing habituation, the team in the field will continue to observe and record the development of the lorises' behaviours every night. If, during the habituation period, all the lorises are active and there is no abnormal behaviour, then they can be released into the wild," Purba added.
Memen Suparman, Head of the Conservation of Natural Resources Department, Region II Soreang, West Java, said the slow loris conservation programme in the Masigit-Kareumbi Conservation Forest Area was a part of the collaboration between BBKSDA West Java and IAR Indonesia.
"This programme is just one of the efforts to support the ongoing ecological processes in the region, as well as maintaining and contributing to the population of endemic primates whose numbers are rapidly declining," he said.
With an area of approximately 12,420 hectares, Masigit-Kareumbi is a conservation area with a suitable ecosystem for the preservation and protection of slow lorises. A habitat survey by IAR Indonesia and BBKSDA, Region II Soreang team, revealed that this area has good potential in terms of protection and security, availability of food, good canopy cover and water as important components of a habitat.
Memen added: "Not only IAR and BBKSDA teams are involved in this programme. We also involve local communities around the area in the slow loris conservation programme, in activities such as translocation and post-release monitoring. This involvement is a vital part of long-term efforts to protect slow lorises from the various threats they face."
Robithotul Huda, Programme Manager at IAR Indonesia in Bogor said, slow lorises are one of the many primates that are widely kept as pets. In captivity as pets, many slow lorises eventually die as a result of the torture and compromised welfare they experience from being passed through channels of the illegal trade.
"Based on the economic principles of supply and demand, buying a loris as a pet contributes directly to fuelling the illegal trade. Therefore hunting will continue as long as there is a demand. For this reason, we strongly urge the public never to buy or keep slow lorises as pets, because it is synonymous with exploiting them. "
Huda continued, returning slow lorises to the forest is in fact, not as easy as hunting or capturing them from the wild. It requires a lot of effort and funds to ensure the individuals are suitable to be released into their natural habitat. The process and stages are also time intensive and have to be in accordance with strict operational procedures. In addition, habitat assessment at release sites, habituation, post-release monitoring to ensure adaptation and long-term survival, are processes that must be followed rigorously to give the lorises the best chance of thriving back in the forest.

As the ageing population of Singapore increases, more and more older adults opt to create a lasting power of attorney and give it to people, they trust the most. But, the question is can a Lasting power attorney really prevent the elderly from being scammed? How can making a lasting power of attorney protect one's assets?
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows a person, particularly the elderly, to appoint someone to act or make decisions on his or her behalf. The requirements to become a donor, on who had the Lasting Power of Attorney created, to be 21 years old or above. And the said donor must be mentally capable when the Lasting Power of Attorney is created. And he or she must do so voluntarily. No one can force someone to create a Lasting Power of attorney. It must be voluntary and of one's own accord. The person appointed by the donor will make decisions on behalf of the donor, in the event that he or she will lack mental capacity in the future.
It's inevitable for the elderly to lose mental capacity one day. So, appointing a responsible and trustworthy person to handle his or her assets when illnesses such as dementia strikes protect the elderly from financial abuse. This scenario is especially true in cases where no estate planning has been done such as making a trust or a will.
Who are the people involved in the Lasting Power of Attorney?
- Donor – this is the person who had the Lasting Power of Attorney drawn up.
- Donee or replacement donee – this refers to the person appointed by the donor to handle, act and make decisions on his or her behalf. He or she takes control once the donor has lost the ability to make decisions for himself or herself. Or, in simple terms when the donor lacks the mental capacity to make sound decisions.
- Name the person to be notified – this can optional to the donor.
- Certificate Issuer – this is the witness to the Donor's execution of the Lasting Power of Attorney. He or she can be either of the following:
- an accredited medical practitioner such as a doctor
- A practising lawyer
- A psychiatrist
How Can a Lasting Power of Attorney Prevent Scamming?
Elders are susceptible to fraud and manipulation from others. Take a look at the highly-publicised case of Madam Chung Khin Chun, 87, versus the Chinese tourist guide Yang Yin. The Chinese former tourist guide managed to fool and dupe the 87-year-old woman. And almost get away with taking $ 1.1 million from Madam Chung.
Lasting power of attorney would grant authority to someone trustworthy to manage an elderly's property. The appointed donee must have his or her means of living and of almost equal status to prevent greed and fraud from happening. In the case of Madam Chung, had she appointed her niece Madam Hedy Mok as her donee, Yang Yin wouldn't be able to sway and fool the woman. This is because a donee decides on the following:
- Where the donor should live
- Who the donor should live with
- Day to day decisions concerning the personal care
- Social activities to take part in
- Handling of personal correspondences
- Who to be in contact with
- Donor's properties (buying & selling, etc.)
- Handling bank accounts
- Receiving income
- Taking care of Tax matters
- Paying obligations of the donor
- Purchasing Goods
A trusted relative who cares for the elderly like a donor's child, grandchild, niece or nephew, even a sibling will ensure that the welfare of the donor is put first. This can prevent scammers who have gotten close to the elderly from getting anything because the donor's life is shielded and protected by the donee.
Where to get LPA Forms?
The Office of the Public Guardians is the government agency assigned to act as the registrar and the maintenance of a register of Lasting Power of Attorney. LPA forms can be downloaded from their site.
For wealth management purposes, it is better to consult family lawyers and one's Trust company before choosing to enact a Lasting Power of Attorney.
Final Thoughts
A Lasting Power of Attorney will prevent anyone from taking advantage of the elderly. It ensures that the elder person's assets are not taken from him or her. And he or she is not placed into destitute because of others ill-intentions.

Sometimes, we have a fear, a concern or a problem that we simply cannot explain. We do not know where the problem came from or what triggered the fear, but we cannot rid ourselves of the uncomfortable feeling that something within us has caused us to feel as we do. Until the source of this feeling is identified, it is almost impossible to overcome it. The answer may be in a past life.
Many people believe that we have lived previous lives and have looked to hypnosis to discover those experiences and events from our past lives that influence who we are and how we deal with our daily lives.
Through hypnotherapy, you can bridge from a current life problem to something that occurred in a past life. Once the connection is identified, the current problem may be resolved by identifying and nullifying the source of the problem in the past. A hypnotherapist is training in helping you reach into your hidden past lives and finding the answers you seek.

The Lake Jackson Aquatic Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The philosophy of the team is to teach all four strokes to each swimmer and train them for all events in their age group. The swimmers who go to meets are expected to swim all events in their age group at least twice a year (once in short course season and once in long course season). While some swimmers may be intimidated by this at first, the more times they swim an event in competition, the more confidence they gain, and the more the focus becomes more on improving their times.

Have you ever wondered how hormones work, or how they may contribute how you are feeling? From puberty through the rest of your life, hormones play an important role in helping us achieve optimal health and wellness. Both men and women produce sex binding hormones such as Testosterone, Progesterone and Estrogen. These hormones can affect many different processes in the body, including reproduction, sexual function, metabolism, growth and development, and even mood.
What Are Hormones?
Hormones are complex molecules produced within the human body to regulate its functions. Men and women have a different hormonal makeup – the primary male hormone is testosterone, while women have estrogen and progesterone.
Male hormones are produced in the testes, while most female hormones are produced in the ovaries. At puberty, both men and women develop a high concentration of hormones. In early adolescent stages, the body starts producing an adequate amount of healthy hormone, and as we continue to age we may notice a decline in energy, changes in sexual desire, growth and development which is caused by a natural decline in hormones.
How Do Hormones Work?
Hormones serve as "chemical messengers" that tell the cells in your body to take certain actions. They facilitate communication between the brain and other organs by binding hormone receptors to other cells. Hormones are involved in every aspect of your body and health.
Everyone experiences a gradual reduction in sex hormones over time. However, your levels can dip low or decrease too quickly due to many different factors. When this happens both men and women of any age can experience a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms.
Interestingly, the effects of low testosterone and low estrogen are fairly similar.
Symptoms of Low T
Symptoms can include, but are not limited to:
- Loss of the ability to concentrate, focus on tasks and remember things
- Loss of physical strength and stamina, often accompanied by weight gain
- Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or regulating temperature at night
- Decrease in overall sexual satisfaction, performance, interest or sensation
- Ongoing fatigue, muscle pain and other discomfort with no obvious source
These and other symptoms can arise at any time of life. They generally persist until a person receives treatment. Once the body's hormone levels decline, "healthy habits" like a balanced diet and exercise often become more challenging and do not provide the same results as they used too.
How Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
You may have heard about hormone replacement therapy for women facing the effects of menopause. However, hormone replacement therapy for men is also increasingly popular. At any time of life, both men and women benefit from a healthy hormonal balance.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) introduces bioidentical replacement hormones to the body. These hormones come from healthy, natural plant sources and are identical to the hormones produced by your own body. As a result, they are processed more effectively and have minimal risk compared to synthetic alternatives.

Reinsurance programs are often complex and the calculation of reinsurance premiums can be confusing. Periodically, a reinsured will review its reinsurance premium transactions to make sure that it has not been overpaying for its reinsurance protection. Where a third-party premium audit company is used for that review, compensation is usually based upon a percentage of the savings found on the reinsurance premiums. In a recent case, a reinsured hired a third-party auditor who produced a report indicating a significant over-payment of reinsurance premium. Ultimately, the reinsured rejected the report and continued calculating the reinsurance premium based on the methodology used by its reinsurance intermediary. Suffice it to say that the audit company was less than pleased and, when the reinsured refused to pay the audit company, sued the intermediary for tortious interference with the contractual relationship between the audit company and the reinsured. As the discussion below indicates, the suit was unsuccessful.
In Boomerang Recoveries, LLC. v. Guy Carpenter & Company, LLC., No. 2557 EDA 2018, 2019 Pa. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 3642 (Pa. Super. Sep. 25, 2019), the trial court granted partial summary judgment in favor of the intermediary, excluded certain evidence from trial and, during trial, entered a nonsuit against the audit company dismissing the suit. The audit company appealed and the Superior Court affirmed.
In affirming, the appellate court noted that the evidence showed that the intermediary, when reviewing the audit report with the reinsured, simply presented a side-by-side comparison of the two methods and allowed the reinsured to decide which method to follow. The CEO of the reinsured testified that he formed his own opinion and made his own decision to disregard the method used by the audit company. These facts, among others, led the appellate court to affirm.
The legal issue was whether the audit company made out a case for tortious interference with the auditor's contractual relationship with the reinsured. The court examined the elements of the tortious interference cause of action under Pennsylvania law. The court noted that the audit company met the first prong of the test; the existence of a contractual relationship, but failed to meet the second and third prongs. Those required an intent on the part of the intermediary to harm the audit company by interfering with the contractual relationship and the absence of privilege or justification on the part of the intermediary.
The appellate court found that the trial court did not abuse its discretion or commit an error of law in its evidentiary rulings or by granting the various motions. The audit company argued that its method of calculating the reinsurance premium was more accurate and better, but the court, agreeing with the trial court, held that whether the method was better or more accurate was not a fact of consequence in a tortious interference action. The court ruled that the evidence supported the trial court's conclusion that the audit company had failed to present sufficient evidence to establish tortious interference, because it failed to demonstrate that the intermediary acted improperly and with the intent to harm the audit company's contractual relationship with the reinsured. The appellate court pointed out that the trial court found that the audit company had not provided the jury with one witness, email or document that remotely, inferentially, or circumstantially showed that the intermediary had a specific intent to harm the audit company. Moreover, the trial court held that the audit company had not identified one lie or misleading statement made by the intermediary to the reinsured. These facts led to the affirmance upholding the nonsuit.

Did you know that?
I sure didn't.
In a non-scientific survey of some editors, a friend of mine found out that two out of three of the editors he polled agree: Editor #1 "responded immediately, saying he considers posting a work online to be publication…'if something has been made available to the public online, then I consider it published.'" Editor #2 "responded a week later, saying that posting a story on a public website 'definitely constitutes prior publication and would normally disqualify the story" from being considered for publication.'" For those who absolutely MUST know who said what, I will direct you to the site I got the stats from – but I have published with one of the editors and respect one of them and hugely respect the other's reputation. What they say to me goes.
So the whole purpose of my writing here is in vain! It was supposed to be a way to "field test" my novels in the form of flash fiction pieces. If I'd known that they would be considered published by someone, I might not have done this.
On the other hand, the short pieces have allowed me to develop character in a way I've never done before. I understand Emerald and Pastor Jeremiah and Jalaya, the Blind Angel as I never could have understood them by just outlining them and then writing them. I've been able to play with ideas. The character interactions and most of the settings of HEIRS changed dramatically from when I began the book five or six years ago.
The practice has made me a more consistently fast writer and given me a harder grasp on plot and scene. Each piece is a complete story – which I never thought I could do. Yet they all fit into an overarching story line. Rather than "stringing together a bunch of flash fiction stories", I can now begin to use them as a framework on which to grow a…heart: (http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/01/14/rebuilt.heart/index.html )
The question now remains, "Will I include the story as I've developed it?" The answer is, "Obviously!" I can't abandon what's happened in any of the series of flash fictions. But I may leave out some (RING SCOOP 17, for example) and include other things (the Puppeteer for another example).
The ideas are great, the plots are grand and the work has NOT been in vain!
Maybe you should try it?

Catalan trial turns into pro-independence show of force (Politico)
As prosecution of Artur Mas begins, Barcelona and Madrid remain at loggerheads
Diego Torres, Barcelona.- Around 40,000 people took to the streets of Barcelona Monday ahead of the start of the trial of former Catalan president Artur Mas and two members of his cabinet, who are accused of organizing an illegal vote on independence from Spain in 2014.
In a carefully organized show of force, the defendants walked from the headquarters of the regional government to the courthouse accompanied by members of the current Catalan cabinet. Thousands of supporters made their voices heard, shouting "independence" and "you are not alone" and waving pro-independence banners.
"Many of us feel that we're being judged today," said current Catalan President Carles Puigdemont. "Those responsible for making [the vote] a judicial affair will face a nation that maintains its dignity."
Mas — who faces a 10-year ban from public office if found guilty — assumed full responsibility before the tribunal for instigating the non-binding vote, but denied having intentionally violated the law.
He claimed that his government was simply supporting the work of an estimated 42,000 volunteers who organized the vote, which was ruled illegal by the country's Constitutional Court five days before it was due to take place.
Around 2.3 million people — between 36 percent and 42 percent of the electorate, depending on which side's figures are used — cast a ballot and 80 percent voted for independence.
"No one is being judged for his political ideas," Pablo Casado, a spokesman for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's Popular Party, told reporters in Madrid after the hearing. In Spain, he claimed, "everyone is subject to the rule of law because a democracy without law is not a democracy."
The trial of Mas, his deputy Joana Ortega and his education minister Irene Rigau — which will last five days — comes at a time of extreme tension between Puigdemont's secessionist cabinet, which has committed to organizing a new referendum on independence (this time a binding one) before October, and Spain's government led by Rajoy.
The conservative PM and the vast majority of Spanish political forces oppose the vote and the self-determination of Catalonia. The government in Madrid has made it clear that it will use all legal means to stop the referendum.

Tim Schou has a pretty good solo career going since he left his friends in London. He's travelling the world and relesing songs and videos. The latest one is a great track and comes with a steamy video that kinda takes away from the song really. But who's complaining. If you got it, flaunt it. Enjoy the video below.
This post coming after the other Dane, Rasmus Seebach as wishlist for Eurovision. To think about it, Tim would do nicely, too. Maybe he should give it another go?

Lately I have realised that I have put on lots of weight. Most of my pants aren't fitting me, the worst part being those I got stitched six month back are also not fitting me:O.
I was like this a year back
Current situation
If it continues at this rate then this will be in future…optimistically in may be 6 months from now.
So I have decided that I should act immediately, at least to make use of those slim fit shirts and designer wear pants.
OPL stands for One part Less. Basically I cut down my food intake by one part.
For ex: For breakfast, I now take only 4 idles compared to 5 before..like wise I cut down everything I take by one part.
It's a simple strategy to start with before going on to a stricter diet regime [Read this post How to cut down 10 kgs in 2 months]
