Although Robin Boyd is Australia's most well known architect, a catalogue of his work has never been prepared. This limits the understanding of his work for both for academics assessing and writing about him and limits the general public's awareness and appreciation of his work.
I have been researching Boyd's work by combing through archives, council records, locating and talking with past clients and their families together with his friends, colleagues and employees for the past ten years. This has resulted in my assembling a vast archive of drawings, photographs, manuscripts, publications and interviews which reveal many unknown designs, built projects, published writings and television and radio broadcasts.
This project will enable the Boyd catalogue to be published in book form and the vast collection of drawings, photographs and writings to be made available as a public web-based archive to commemorate the centenary of Boyd's birth – 2019.
This project is important to recognise and celebrate the work of this well-known and influential man. It will be the first time that a comprehensive record of his work has been published.
Many people know who Boyd is, but because a catalogue of his work had not been prepared or published the public and scholar's detailed awareness of his actual work is limited.
This project will provide a definitive record and resource that will make his work publicly available in one place for the first time. The project will comprise of four parts:
1. A Catalogue Raisonne which lists and illustrates all works in book form.
2. A book of correspondence sent between Boyd and his partners Roy Grounds and Frederick Romberg while Boyd was teaching and working in America in 1956/7.
3. A web-based archive of his architectural projects, drawings, photographs, writings and broadcasts.
4. A wed-based archive of his Small Homes Service designs, drawings and project locations.
Donations will be used to:
1. design and product the artwork for the two books
2. design and build the two web-based archives.
The research and writing for the books and web-based archives is being undertaken by Tony Lee.
Printing of the books will be funded by sales.
The books are to be distributed by Thames & Hudson.
For more information email Tony Lee on firstname.lastname@example.com

I don't celebrate Easter much, but I do enjoy a little something to welcome in Spring. A weekend morning with some hot cross buns is a great way to do that, in my opinion. These are quite simple to make and don't take nearly as much time as one would expect from an enriched, yeasted dough.
The dried fruit can be whatever you like (I use half raisins and half chopped apricots, but currants are more traditional).
Hot Cross Buns (makes a dozen servings)
Prep Time: 1 1/2-2 hours
Bake Time: 25-30 minutes
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
3/4 cup vanilla almond milk (lukewarm or room temperature)
1/3 cup canola oil (plus a splash extra to coat the bowl)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons orange zest (about the zest of one large orange)
1/4 cup sugar
3 3/4 cups AP Flour
3/4 cup dried fruit of choice
2 tablespoons almond milk
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons almond milk
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, stir together yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and lukewarm water. Let sit for a few minutes until bubbling.
While the yeast is activating, in a separate bowl stir together the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, orange zest, sugar, and dried fruit.
Once the yeast is quite bubbly and active, add the flour/spice mixture, almond milk, and canola oil. Stir until just combined with a spatula. Begin to "knead" the dough by using the dough hook of the stand mixer on low or medium-low speed.
After about 4-5 minutes, it should be thoroughly combined and somewhat elastic. Use a splash of canola oil to coat the sides of the mixing bowl. Turn the coat to allow the dough to become coated.
Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and divide evenly into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a round bun, then place into parchment- lined baking dish (10″ x 14″ or 11″ x 13″ both work well).
Cover again with dish towel and let rise for around 30 minutes (dough should mostly spring back when touched). While dough is rising, preheat oven to 375º F.
Make dough wash by mixing together almond milk and maple syrup. Brush onto rolls.
Bake buns for 25-30 minutes, or until golden-brown. This could vary considerably depending on the oven used, so I would recommend checking earlier to ensure they are baking well. The buns will touch while rising and baking, but that is completely normal.
Once the buns are golden-brown and cooked through, remove from oven. Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes, then remove from pan and place on cooling rack, counter, or large cutting board to continue cooling.
Whisk together almond milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla to make icing.
Once the buns are cooled, top with icing using a piping bag or drizzling with a spoon.
Enjoy! These store well in a covered container for 1-2 days, though they will begin to dry out after that. They are best served the same day or the next day.

When you think about work, what's the first thing that comes to mind?
Is it co-workers (both the good ones and the bad ones)? Or do you get overwhelmed with thoughts of deadlines and projects? When you walk into your office do you feel deflated—or exalted?
If your workplace leaves you feeling less than inspired, then you're not alone. Although many people don't realize it, a good chunk of their day, spent inside the walls and cubes that make up their workspace, maybe sapping them of creativity and productivity. Luckily, there are concrete, doable ways to change that.
For starters, consider color: The hues that surround you can be calming—or they can be energizing. And you can tweak your hues to match the purpose of your space. For example, if you have a common area that's dedicated to brainstorming, red may be a good color match.
And then there are breaks—and we don't mean lunch breaks. It's good for your productivity to take small breaks during the day, and lounge areas—outfitted with couches and chairs that promote gathering—can be good spaces to include in offices.
Want more ideas to make work more to your liking for creating inspiring workplace? Check out this graphic.

Weekly poll: iPhone 11 family - hot or not
An iPhone launch is just one of those things that you really, really can't miss. Even if you are actually living under that proverbial rock that always gets brought up. Point here being that even if you don't particularly care about Apple's latest and greatest smartphones, these have become so interwoven into the tech realm and even beyond that the iPhone 11 family is just bound to have at least some effect on your life. Think about it. It's pretty eery in a more than a few ways, but also true.
So then, seeing how the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are a fact of life in such a scale you should probably have an opinion on them one way or the other. We realise that things are far more nuanced than a simple yes and no answer, but that's still what it boils down to at the end.
Just in case you missed anything from Apple's September 10 announcement event - here is our convenient coverage wrap-up for your consideration. As for the three new iPhones, you can quickly check how they stack up against each other in our specs compare. But, let's be real here, if you have reached a point where you are trying to decide how big of an iPhone 11 investment you want to make, then clearly your general opinion of the launch is positive.
The real question for most of us is the usual - are the new additions and changes worth it? Am I excited enough to shell-out big or should I consider other options instead? And there are more than a few, even in camp Apple, where the iPhone 8 pair remains on offer, as well as the all-popular iPhone XR, now even cheaper. If you go with the new iPhone 11 instead you are indeed getting a few goodies, like a new chipset, a whole new 12MP ultrawide camera, more battery, an upgraded HDR display, better IP protection and Gorilla Glass 6 for the back and front.
As for the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, these arguably constitute less of a noticeable hardware upgrade over their respective predecessors, definitely making the decision a bit harder and more interesting for us to follow. An extra ultra-wide snapper, better display and chipset, noticeable more battery are all valid points to consider. And the list goes on as well.
A tough choice if we ever saw one. With all that said, be sure to cast your cote below. Is the iPhone 11 family hot or not?
Reader comments
I like it, though I'd rather just have a little thicker phone and have no bezels at all, and have cleaner design in the proces (Kinda like they used to do).

Alright so let's get expectations for this movie out of the way. something something it's important to know where I'm coming from with things like this. I had absolutely no expectations for the movie Beirut, mostly because up until I saw it I had heard just about nothing about it. I just happened to check showtimes on my MoviePass app (#Notsponsored) and it had a poster with John Hamm up for this movie, I like John Hamm so why not go see it? you never know right?
Beirut is a new drama movie starring John Hamm and Rosamund Pike. It's story centers around a former US diplomat Mason Skiles who is brought back to Beirut after leaving in the 70's to help negotiate the release of his estranged friend, a CIA officer. Ticking clock, high stakes, secrecy, betrayal, and all that jazz follows in this marginally complex movie.
As is my new usual, a brief video review is here, or a slightly more in-depth look can be read by scrolling down.
Beirut turned out to be a pretty fun spy-ish movie. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a full-out spy movie, but it has a lot of elements of those sort of movies. A highly skilled and handsome (I can call John Hamm handsome ok?) lead character being called reluctantly back into action, a cohort of government agents whose motivations and jobs are vague and broad respectively, a total smoke show female actress accompanying our lead, and a villain that's somehow connected directly to the main character. I know it sounds like I'm describing 99% of the Bond movies, but all of those things are clear and present in Beirut as well.
Beirut's lead Mason does things differently than 007 though. Most obviously is that he never uses bullets to solve his problems, and that makes sense he is a diplomat after all. That does leave Beirut pretty light on action, but the story is more than engaging enough to keep your attention throughout. Also on the note of differences between Bond and Mason despite the bombshell blonde tasked with watching over him, Beirut never feels a need to force any sort of romance between the two. Sandy (Rosamund Pike's character and bombshell) consistently proves that she's much more than a pretty face, but rather a savvy, intelligent and determined agent trying to get the job done. It's a very nice breath of fresh air for spy movies.
Another thing I really liked about Beirut is how honest their portrayal of early 80's Beirut is. Historically the city was in extraordinarily rough shape and the movie clearly shows it, rubble is found on every street, random fires just burning in the street are also present, the various militias make appearances in the movie. This movie really nails what an insane mess Beirut was at the time and that really helps give the movie a sense of urgency and unpredictableness. The movie makes it out that just about anything could happen at any time and it feels very believable based on the characters surroundings. Keeps the tension up without being overly dramatic.
Not everything in Beirut was something I liked though. I mentioned earlier that it's a marginally complex movie and I say that because while there are twists and turns in the story, most of them feel somewhat predictable, like you can just look at some characters and guess that they have ulterior motives and will at some point try to screw over Mason so it's not that surprising when it happens, its more expected.
Those reveals of betrayal still work for the most part though because John Hamm is really doing some great acting. His performance is really what allows this movie to work as a whole. Everyone else turns in decent to good performances, but it's Hamm who seems to be going the extra mile. He should be in way more stuff.
There are also a few moments where the movie can't quite decide if the CIA is ultra capable or some kind of bumbling idiot. Most of the time the movie makes them out to be ultra-capable, but just a couple of moments where they just screw up for no real reason other than they have to for the plot and that was a bit annoying.
Overall I really enjoyed Beirut, but I did have problems that really stuck out to me. I'd give this movie a solid B, I could probably be talked into upgrading that to a B+ if someone had a good argument though. If you're looking for some spy action to tide you over until the next Bond movie and you aren't scared of movies where characters talk to each other a lot then I'd recommend Beirut. Or even if you just really like John Hamm like me that's a good enough reason to see this movie honestly. Later.

Get Off Of Social Media If … | Be Real Do Better – The Small Business Marketing Show, Ep. 16
Have you ever heard the term, "Less is more?"
Or, put another way, "Do less, but do it better."
Instead, we humans seem to feel that we need to do everything. And in the world of small business marketing, that's a dangerous game because it can quickly pull our effort and attention away from our most important tasks. Worse still is making an extra effort only to have it appear to others as if we've made very little effort at all.
And that's why, sometimes, we'd be best to get ourselves off of social media.
In this episode, I give some examples of why you might want to consider getting your business off of some – or all – of your current social media feeds, such as:
– If there's no recent activity; if your social channels look and feed like ships long set adrift.
– If the only content you're sharing are sales offers and "calls to action" with little-to-no engagement.
– If you're just using one social channel to automatically feed another (e.g., the only thing your Twitter page does is show links to your Instagram account) but not exhibiting any effort or understanding about how people like to engage on that particular platform.
Key takeaway:
Examine what social media channels you're trying to maintain and see if you can objectively view it to see how it looks and feels from another perspective. Does it look like you don't care or haven't made any effort?
See if you can choose one social media feed and do it well. Make one that (ideally) both aligns with the demographics and habits of your preferred kinds of customers (i.e., don't go to Facebook if you're looking for teens) and that you feel most comfortable using.
If all else fails, and you find that social media makes you absolutely miserable at every turn, then turn them all off and make the fact that you don't use it part of your brand.

Over 700 disabled people have described situations they have faced when experiencing disabled access at different places. The findings, revealed in the new Access Survey by the charity Euan's Guide and Disabled Access Day, show that 83% of disabled people have been affected by poor accessibility, and 92% do not feel very confident in visiting new places when thinking about disabled access.
In the UK, confidence was lowest among disabled people in Wales, but 95% of disabled people UK-wide admit to searching for disabled access information about a place before visiting. It was found that 85% opt to check the venue's website first, but if disabled access is not mentioned 47% of disabled people assume it is inaccessible and choose to go elsewhere.
While confidence in accessibility is still low, places can attract more business by simply talking about their disabled access. The specific factors which make people more likely to visit somewhere were revealed by The Access Survey:
- 86% of disabled people are more likely to visit somewhere new if they can find relevant access information about it beforehand.
- In England especially, welcoming staff, and venues that appear to care about accessibility are popular, and 72% of disabled people would be more likely to visit somewhere that demonstrated these characteristics.
- 70% are more likely to make a visit if they can see pictures and read what others have said about a venue first.
- 67% like it if a venue has been recommended to them by someone with similar requirements.
The survey also highlighted the factors which can make certain places difficult to access for many disabled people:
- 69% of disabled people said a venue's layout, such as narrow corridors, restricted access for them.
- 61% told Euan's Guide that they have been unable to get into a venue due to a lack of ramp, or heavy doors for example.
- 53% said that poor accessible toilet provision created difficulties.
It was found that 86% of disabled people, their families and friends will make a return visit to a venue that has good accessibility, and 83% will tell others about it. It is more common in Scotland for disabled people to share their experiences of disabled access with others than elsewhere in the UK.
The Access Survey also investigates how different types of places compare based on the experiences of disabled people. Compared to 2016, access in museums has improved, but opinions were most divided about public transport, hotels and music venues. This demonstrates the inconsistency in disabled access between places, making it difficult for disabled people to know what to expect when visiting somewhere for the first time.
Euan's Guide helps to overcome this with its website which is used by disabled people, their families and friends to rate the accessibility of places they visit. Disabled people can read disabled access information for over 6,000 places, including reviews written by people with similar requirements to them; an important factor for 67% of survey respondents.
Euan MacDonald, co-founder of Euan's Guide said:
"Euan's Guide is all about sharing, and it was fantastic to have over seven-hundred disabled people, their families, friends and carers join in by sharing their thoughts and experiences in The Access Survey 2017. The opinions expressed in this survey will help to raise awareness and improve understanding of accessibility, and I am hopeful that future surveys will show positive trends and improvements among venues and the confidence that disabled people have in visiting them."
The Access Survey 2017 includes the opinions of 712 people. The findings were primarily from disabled people (78%). The remainder was a combination of carers, friends, and healthcare professionals. Click here to view the survey.
Euan's Guide also published a report on accessible toilets in 2017.
Funding Boost for Euan's Guide
In other Euan's Guide related news, the charity recently announced it had been awarded over £5,000 as part of the Awards for All programme, a partnership between the Big Lottery Fund Scotland, sportscotland and Creative Scotland. Euan's Guide will use the National Lottery funding to expand and develop its Ambassador Network in Scotland. The network is a growing number of Ambassadors who are committed to making more disabled people aware of the website and how they can use disabled access reviews.
The project, funded in conjunction with The Robertson Trust, The RS MacDonald Charitable Trust, and the Corra Foundation, was introduced in 2017 and has been a hugely successful initiative. Ambassadors are based all around Scotland and are helping to share disabled access reviews in new locations. The charity's Ambassadors are advocates for disabled access reviews, but their diverse interests include disability sports, accessibility lifestyle blogging, occupational therapy, accessible travel and journalism.
Thanks to this new grant of £5,526 from the National Lottery, the charity can expand its Ambassador Network in its second year in order to increase the number of disabled people writing about and discovering places to visit with great disabled access.

Can't watch the video or missed some of the steps? We also have everything with images and text below.
How to Make a Worn Looking Shirt with Cricut Infusible Ink:
Cutting the Infusible Ink
Start by cutting your design from the Infusible Ink. You will need to mirror your design and cut the Infusible Ink face down on the mat. Turn the mat over and peel the mat away from the Ink. Cut around the design with scissors so that you save as much of your sheet as possible.
Weeding Infusible Ink
Then you can weed away all of the excess. Bend the Infusible Ink sheet several times to "crack" the design and make it easier to weed. Pull up the corner of the ink and start peeling back. Remember that using weeding tools is not recommended here. You can use tweezers if you are having issues lifting some of the pieces.
Remove the excess around the outside as well as the centers of all of the letters.
Distressing Infusible Ink
Then use sandpaper over your design. This is where you get your distressed look. You can sand as much or as little as you would like.
Pick up the sheet occasionally and tap to remove as much of the sanding residue as possible.
You will also want to go lightly over the area with painter's tape to pick up any excess bits. Remember that the pieces you sanded off are ink. If you leave any on the carrier sheet, they will transfer to your shirt.
Transferring Your Design to the Shirt
Add an EasyPress mat larger than your design covered by a piece of white cardstock inside your shirt.
Lay the shirt on another EasyPress mat or on a folded up towel. Run a lint roller over your shirt to remove any fibers. Press with the heated EasyPress about 15 seconds to remove moisture. Allow to cool then put your design face up on the shirt.
Make sure the design is stuck down well to the shirt so it doesn't move. Then add butcher paper over the top. Press with the EasyPress for the recommended time and temperature.
Remove the EasyPress and butcher paper. Allow to cool before removing the carrier sheet.
Peel back your Carrier sheet to reveal your design. Pick up any small pieces of the transfer that did not lift with the carrier sheet with a pair of tweezers.
Your distressed Infusible Ink shirt is ready immediately! You can wear it, wash it, and not worry about your design fading or washing out.
If you love a worn looking shirt, then Infusible Ink is definitely your answer!
You can also try sanding before weeding to minimize the chance of the ink bits getting on your transfer sheet. If you look really closely, you might be able to see a few bits that transferred to my shirt. Overall, I am happy with the design and look of this, however! After all, it is supposed to be a distressed Infusible Ink shirt!
So, make your own vintage look shirt with Infusible Ink and any design you can imagine! You no longer have the limitations of heat transfer vinyl.

Vee Pees
Lest you imagine that Hubert Horatio Humphrey, Jr., is a mere flash in the pan of appealingly named Americanian vice presidents, cast your ears over Hannibel Hamlin, Spiro T. Agnew, and Millard Fillmore. Even J. Danforth Quayle (expropriate the expropriators, I say) has a certain Republickerin' ring to it.

Generally, the veep runs cover for the prez, and in that there is advantage in having a comic figure in the role, a role Mr. Quayle played beautifully. He was, I think, the greatest in situ humorist of all time. While addressing an audience in the formerly sovreign kingdom of Hawai'i, he said
You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and, as far as I am concerned, happy campers you will always be.
Unfortunately his brilliant parody of European condescension went completely unappreciated.
Oh Dan, we could use a veep like you now.

Captain James Cook (better known round these parts for "discovering" the east coast of Australia) was speared to death for patronising Hawaiians. That was a couple of centuries ago and he only got what was coming, but still, you wouldn't catch me messing with that "happy campers" line.
(Okay. That anecdote supplied mostly to requite Jahteh's enthusiasm for officers of the British Royal Navy.)

I'll give you a dollar if you change your name to Horatio. Yes?

I prefer an amount of coffee to any number of senators, but would merely draw your attention (or awe your pretension) to Woodrow Wilson, Woodrow Wyatt, and Ronald Reagan. Australian pickings are somewhat slimmer, but there's always The First Viscount of Melbourne, Stanley Bruce. Not alliterative, but entertaining, nonetheless. Apparently quite a terrible Prime Minister.

By god, the chap sounds like he escaped from the mouldering and dubious pages of my own Notebook.
I, for one, think that the name Horatio is damned manly and sorely underused. My own grandfather's name was (the close cousin) Horace.
But then, what would you expect from a chap who, of his own free will, calls himself St John?
- 8 July 2007 at 10:58 pm
- Alexis, Baron von Harlot said...
Why! Nottlesby! Back from the dead! What a pleasing happenstance.
It is manly, isn't it? There's a reason why people don't name their daughters Horatia. (Or maybe they do?)
- 9 July 2007 at 2:57 pm
Yea verily have I cast off the Nazarine's winding-sheet of obscurity, rolled aside the rock of ignorance, and staggered, blinking, into the light of wit and wisdom.
As for Horatia, I think the last time it has been used (according to the wealth of knowledge in the R. A. St J. Nottlesby Memorial Library & Reading Rooms) was the late Nelson's daughter. I think it, too, should be brought back into wider circulation.
I've eaten too much dinner tonight.

This blog is written by Lee Gale Gruen to help Baby Boomers, seniors, and those soon to retire find joy, excitement, and satisfaction in life after retirement. Her public lecture on this subject is titled, "Reinventing Yourself in Your Retirement." Her memoir, available by clicking here Amazon.com, is: Adventures with Dad: A Father and Daughter's Journey Through a Senior Acting Class. Click here for her website: http://AdventuresWithDadTheBook.com
Now, on to my blog:
The transitive verb "to trumpet" means to talk about your own or someone else's accomplishments in a enthusiastic manner.
Yes, it's always been considered acceptable to trumpet someone else's achievements. But, what about when you do so for your own achievements?
I've always found it hard to tell people about my accomplishments. It makes me feel like I'm bragging, and that's an uncomfortable position for me. After I wrote a book, I learned that I would have to market it. That meant going against my grain and inserting it into the conversation whenever I had a chance.
I'm still timid about it. I do it in an almost apologetic manner. However, when you must promote and market, you simply can't wait and hope for someone else to trumpet it for you. You must blow your own trumpet.
This photo is of me at a recent book sale and signing which was part of a large event offering numerous items for sale. As attendees made their way to my book club's long table and over to me, I would have to quickly start my spiel about my book, giving my brief elevator speech to grab their attention. I was competing not only with the other authors at my table but also with the scores of other tables in the hall, each with hawkers of the wares they and their fellow group members had made: jewelry, ceramics, wooden objects, sewing items, bakery goods, and lots more. All this tumult was noisy, confusing, and distracting. I felt like a circus barker having to yell louder, be flashier, or spin a more interesting and compelling yarn than my competitors.
Participation in fierce competition can be exhausting and off-putting. How does one function in a situation like that, especially when it is against your nature? You can start by accepting that it is okay to trumpet yourself from time to time. Of course, it would be nice if you can avoid becoming obnoxious about it. View it as a challenge to learn a new skill. See it as a growth experience to broaden yourself. Do it sparingly to avoid wearing out your audience.
As grownups, we sometimes must be involved in disquieting situations which are against our normal inclination. Changing your mental attitude can help you get through it.

Infructescence Development and Seed Characterization of Nipa Palm from Different Semi-Wild Stands of Davao Region, Southern Philippines
The versatility of nipa even under unstable environmental conditions and its potential use as source of bioethanol underscore the importance of understanding the fruit development of the palm. Female anthesis served as the reference point for determining the age of infructescence (fruit head). Weekly observations categorized according to morphological changes showed that Stage 1 is distinguished by a hard brown seed with dark brown tips. Stage 2 is characterized by seeds of even brown hue with some carpels fused forming bigger seed. At Stage 3, the infructescence began to bend owing to its weight with seeds having brown color with darker hue. At 21 weeks from female anthesis, the fruit head reaches its peak of rapid growth, which may also level off photosynthate demand. This suggests a halt to being a 'sink' in the succeeding stages. At Stage 4, the infructescence was already bending halfway the ground level. At Stage 5, the fruit head finally touched the ground. This indicates full maturity at 25 weeks from onset of female anthesis. In a separate study, environmental variability did not show statistical differences on seed morphometrics. However, position of seeds in the infructescence significantly affected viability. Seeds, if spherical, are considered viable and were located in the polar end opposite the peduncle and in the equatorial region. Dark brown seeds indicate full maturity. This study would be of value in the future as reference for seed maturity index, variability tests, and description of different stages for timing sap collection during tapping.

Instagram is taking off Event Channels by means of the Explore tab within the Android and iOS applications.
With this component, clients can watch video clasps and view photographs from live occasions occurring over the world.
For instance, if a super hot Adele show is occurring or a major games match, you can hope to see recordings for it coming straight to your gadget.
The recordings are sewed together utilizing genuine IG client cuts. That is to say, when you are watching them, they are not star shot and likely have a touch of shake.
Try not to expect much from the sound quality, either. In any case, these recordings ought to give you a genuine sense that you are watching a show or games occasion on your cell phone taken by genuine non-experts.
At present, the Event Channels highlight is constrained to those in the US, yet Instagram says it needs to move it out over the world in the near future.
Overhaul the Instagram application, then look at it today.

New Haven police officer accuses city of illegal promotional exam
Lawsuit finally headed toward judgment
NEW HAVEN >> A lawsuit filed by a patrolman who alleges the city knowingly conducted an illegal promotional exam is finally headed to judgment, and a city attorney may be forced to testify.
Police Officer Jeffrey Fletcher claims in the April 2012 suit that the city's April 18, 2009, oral exam was conducted even after the contract between testing vendor Resource Management Associates had expired.
"The fact that the vendor acted without any authority to administer and score the promotional exam was known to the city," the complaint alleges. "Despite the defendant city of New Haven and the Civil Service Commission knowledge that the contract with the vendor was void they failed to inform the class of candidates."
Court documents show the city claims it reached an agreement with the vendor to extend the contract until June 30, 2009. Earlier this month, however, Fletcher's attorney, William B. Wynne of the East Hartford-based Adler Law Group, filed a motion to try to force Assistant Corporation Counsel Kathleen Foster to testify as to whether the vendor's contract had in fact expired.
The question came to light on Dec. 11, when city Personnel Director Noelia Marcano, during a deposition, testified that, "with the assistance of the corporation counsel," officials tried to fix the error with a contract amendment.
"In her deposition the personnel director repeatedly could not recall why the amendment that she was shown did not have signatures of the city officials and repeatedly pointed to the corporation counsel as source of explanation," Wynne's motion states. "Moreover the personnel director has implied in her sworn testimony that an executed amendment exists, which has not been provided to the plaintiff (Fletcher). The plaintiff does not seek conversations of attorney-client privilege but a plausible explanation as to whether an amendment was legally executed; and if not, why the promotional examination is not void."
Foster declined to comment when reached Friday.
Wynne confirmed that the case soon will be decided by a judge but declined to comment further, citing pending litigation. The attorney representing the city, Nicole Chomiak of Cheshire-based Nuzzo & Roberts, has not yet responded to a message seeking comment.
The lawsuit originally had been slated for a jury trial with a starting date scheduled for Tuesday.
The city is seeking a protective order that would keep Foster from having to testify. In its motion, the city argues that Foster's testimony would violate attorney-client and work privileges and is unnecessary "because it is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissable evidence, is unduly burdensome and less burdensome means exist to obtain the discovery sought."
A week after Marcano's deposition, the city offered to settle the case for $3,000.
Fletcher, who originally had sought in excess of $15,000, declined the offer.
Multiple sources inside the Police Department confirm that two additional lawsuits stemming from the same promotional exam already have been settled. Had Fletcher settled for $3,000, the city could have claimed his situation as a "nuisance case," meaning the issue would not have to be reported to either the Board of Alders or the city's Litigation Settlement Committee.
According to city ordinances, "neither the corporation counsel nor any deputy or assistant corporation counsel may enter into a settlement on behalf of the city of any matter in litigation, the result of which would bind the city to make a payment in excess of $5,000, or such greater amount as the Board of Alders may approve from time to time, unless said settlement has been approved by the litigation settlement committee."
Fletcher also alleges in his complaint that the city unfairly allowed officers who had missed scheduling deadlines take the exams. The complaint references an April 14, 2009, special Civil Service Commission meeting scheduled to hear appeals from officers who were denied entrance to the oral exam and alleges that the meeting was illegally held.
On July 14, 2009, the city informed Fletcher that he did not pass the exam.
His complaint alleges that the Civil Service Commission "improperly expanded" the class of candidates who took the April 18, 2009, oral exam portion.
Meeting minutes posted to the city's website show that out of 71 candidates up for promotion, seven appealed due to confusion over oral exam scheduling. Fletcher's complaint claims the meeting was not posted in accordance with state open meeting laws.
In court documents filed Tuesday, Fletcher alleges the city "illegally administered the examination by manipulating the pool of candidates."
As for the city's argument that forcing Foster to testify would violate attorney-client privileges, Wynne's objection notes that "these are public officials, entrusted with the public trust and treasure.
"The deposition of the personnel director (Marcano) opened the door as to the intimate involvement of the corporation counsel in this process. The corporation counsel was a direct actor in the process and the testimony is critical to the plaintiff obtaining the truth and proving his case."
On Wednesday the city objected.
"The city has never asserted that a fully executed amendment (vendor contract extension) exists," Chomiak stated in her filing. "It does not. The city is willing to stipulate to this fact. Why the amendment was not signed is irrelevant."
As of Friday the court has yet to rule whether Foster will have to testify.

Project Description
Hammersmith Man
The Hammersmith Man sculpture was commissioned by a property company for their new building, Queen Caroline House, overlooking the Hammersmith Flyover in London in 1988.
The work was unveiled by George Melly.
The idea was that the work would be eye-catching and fun for the commuters coming into London every morning. It was cast into resin and painted. It remained in situ for 15 years.
The figure was over 3 metres long.

Christina Lamb, The Sunday Times
Exploited by Chinese firms, workers as young as nine risk their lives to feed the world's growing hunger for cobalt.
Solange Kanena sits on her broken orange sofa, heavily pregnant, resting. Looking around her three-room shack, she wonders how she will feed her eight children. Her husband died in a mining accident 10 days ago.
She has never held an iPhone and has no idea what an electric car is. But when the deep, muddy tunnel collapsed on her husband, he was digging for a commodity that is critical to the batteries of both: cobalt.
Last year about 70% of the world's supply came from the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the poorest, most violent and corrupt places on Earth. Much of its cobalt comes from around this town.
"Without DR Congo there is no electric car industry and no green revolution," said Anneke Van Woudenberg, head of Rights and Accountability in Development (Raid), a UK-based campaign group.
It is estimated that 125m electric vehicles will be on the road by 2030, about 40 times more than at present. Britain is among a number of countries planning to phase out petrol and diesel in the next 20 years.
However, while electric car owners might feel happy about cutting carbon emissions, the dark side of the green revolution is all too visible in Kolwezi's modern-day gold rush.

In the shadow of shafts dug by huge multinational companies such as Glencore is what looks like a human anthill, one of the "artisanal" mines that account for 20% of production. Child labour is common and safety standards are non-existent.
In the Cinq Ans district, beneath every house is a warren of tunnels and holes, covered with sheets of orange tarpaulin, as hundreds of men and women dig into the red mud and children scurry about, bringing yellow jerrycans of water. There is even a hole beside a church where a gospel choir is in full song.
Known as creuseurs, or diggers, the miners use no equipment more sophisticated than spades, shovels and plastic head torches as they burrow into the ground looking for the tell-tale blue veins of cobalt. Those who strike lucky fill sacks with the metallic grey sludge.
Two holes sink to a dizzying depth in Tabue Joseph's garden, where scrawny chickens peck at the earth. "A few years ago a local guy was digging a latrine in his yard and came across cobalt, so we all started," he said.
"The conditions of mines are terrible," said Josue Kashal, a lawyer for miners. "Any time a tunnel can collapse, but they keep going."
Kanena knew how dangerous the job was. "I knew it was risky, particularly these days when it is raining," she said. "But there is no other work."
On February 28, when Alain did not come home she went to the hospital. "I found his dead body and collapsed crying," she said.
There were nine bodies in all. But no accident was reported. According to Kashal, accidents are often kept secret: "They know the government and other partners may use it as an excuse to close the artisan mines and take over the land."
Eco Liberty Conclusion: I do like the idea of an electric car but do like I the idea of a child as young as 9 be working the mines? No. There should be a rethink of a electric car battery that does not involve child labor; carbon battery is something looking into. But it's always paid to remain skeptical.

Essay on cameras and film available
There are many types of cameras available for a variety of people.Some people want a simple camera that can take good pictures, and others, like myself, go in-depth on research for comparisons on cameras.I have a Pentax ZX-L SLR camera and it's been about 5 months now, and I'm pretty satisfied on how the camera has worked out for me.Of course, the camera is only as good as the photographer, so even a one-time use camera can be effective as my camera, if used effectively.
My camera is a SLR type of camera.It looks like one of those cameras that has a huge lens on it and can have many different attachments to it.It can have a bigger zoom in lens, which means that if you can see the whole basketball court, if you attach a bigger zoom in lens, you can zoom in all the way of the opposite end of the court.This gives you the versatility to be virtually anywhere and still get some great shots.I personally recommend a SLR camera for an aspiring photographer for theirfirst camera.
The other type of camera that is available is a digital camera.These have only came out about 5 years ago and they have made some incredible improvements.The main advantage of digital is that you can delete bad pictures, see the picture right after you take a shot, print out the pictures you want, and give it enhancements.The bad side of digital is that it is somewhat slow to take the pictures and getting clear pictures is hard.The major advantage is that you can transfer pictures right after you take them, so you can get the picture on the front-page right after you take it.Also, you can get a memory card for the camera, which is basically the film for the digital camera.Eventually, digital cameras will be so incredible and flawless; film will no longer exist and be obsolete.However, that might be a while.
Of course, there is not one type of film that will go to all cameras; there are several ty…

A. J. BUNCH, farmer, P. O. Clear Creek Lauding. The grandparents of our subject were natives of Christian County, Ky., and there Cater Bunch, the father, was born. His father having died soon after he was born, his mother came with him and his brothers and sisters to this county, and settled close to where Elco now stands. There the father grew to manhood and married Maria Landers, of that precinct. There also our subject, the sixth of seven children, was born January 31, 1837. His parents died when he was young, and he was taken to Jonesboro Precinct, Union County, where he was raised. At the age of seventeen, he commenced learning the trade of a blacksmith, under Adam Cruse, of Jonesboro. He next worked for a man by the name of Matthew Stokes. In time, Mr. Stokes took our subject in as a partner, and they continued in business for some time. The latter, however, finally purchased his partner's interest and continued by himself. After working for several years there, our subject came to Clear Creek and erected a blacksmith shop on the McClure place. He remained there four years, and then embarked on the life of a farmer, and purchased a farm of sixty acres in Section 9, Town 14. Range 3 west. He also owns fifty acres in Meisenheimer Precinct, Union County. Our subject was married, March 12, 1862, to Minerva I. Sams, a daughter of Nathan Sams. She is the mother of five children— Joseph, born December 24, 1863; Norma, born October 29. 1874; Eunice, born Octobers, 1876; Herman, born January 25, 1879; Rodney, born December 30. 1880. In politics, he was a Democrat until the breaking-out of the war, but since that time he has been a Republican. He has served in numerous township offices, and is a member of Jonesboro Lodge, No. 241, I. O. O. F.

NotPetya ransomware attack officially pinned on Russia – what does this mean for the IT sector?
by Heat Recruitment
Almost one year on from the EternalBlue-based NotPetya attack that devastated Ukraine and companies around the world, industry pundits have continually attempted to pin it on the usual suspects… low-level hackers holding nation-state level exploits, North Korea, Russia and China.
Now, however, the UK government has taken the unusual political step of naming who they believe to be responsible… Russia.
The difference between Petya and NotPetya sits with its methodology – whilst the former, a pure ransomware strain, was able to be unlocked after payment had been made, the feature did not carry over to the latter.
Despite not being as prolific as the WannaCry attacks of May 2017, the attack has been ranked as "the most destructive" malware of the year. This is due to the fact that it was specifically designed to do damage to a country's infrastructure… damage felt keenly by Ukraine, and the various individual companies caught up in its wake.
Of those businesses most significantly affected, Dutch delivery firm TNT, Reckitt Benckister and Maersk, each had significant trade links with Ukraine. Maersk, the shipping giant, reportedly lost between $200m – $300m – exclusively due to delays and disruption, with terminals in four separate countries impacted.
According to Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, Russia was "ripping up the rule book", with the UK being "duty bound to respond". He continued, stating that the West had "entered a new era of warfare, witnessing a destructive and deadly mix of conventional military might and malicious cyber-attacks."
Foreign Office minister Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon stated that: "The UK government judges that the Russian government, specifically the Russian military, was responsible for the destructive NotPetya cyber-attack … The Kremlin has positioned Russia in direct opposition to the West, yet it doesn't have to be that way."
Despite also being identified by the CIA, proof of Russian involvement from the cited NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) report is not forthcoming. Unlike the rigorous burden of proof put upon cybersecurity researchers, the same is not the case in terms of statements made in parliament due to Parliamentary Privilege – a defamation defence based on legal immunity.
All evidence points to one changing industry trend – the shift towards more effective forms of cyber warfare. General Sir Nick Carter, head of the British Army, has warned that hybrid weapons – fake news, corruption, and cyber-attacks, are a greater threat to the UK and the West than terrorism.
He continued, "Since 2016 we have seen a marked shift to cyber, subversion and coercion, as well as sophisticated use of smear campaigns and fake news – for example, interference in the US democratic process and the attempted coup in Montenegro."
According to the NCSC statement, "The malware was not designed to be decrypted. This meant that there was no means for victims to recover data once it had been encrypted. Therefore, it is more accurate to describe this attack as destructive [rather] than as ransomware."
For IT and tech specialists, we are about to enter a period of immense growth in the industry. To back up these claims in any meaningful way, we predict new programmes and initiatives will be created to develop cyber-skills in the UK. Until then, salaries for cyber-security professionals will continue to rise as demand for these vital services is not met. Until then, remove any unnecessary input ports, segment networks, train staff on proper protocols and firewall everything that isn't tied down.
Today, it's clear that prevention has failed – now we need to work towards containment. It doesn't look like we'll get out of this one with a slap-on-the-wrist cryptocurrency fine.
If you're looking for your next IT, tech or cybersecurity role – get in touch with our dedicated team at Heat Recruitment.

I noticed a new (?) restaurant in the Quarry Ponds Center this evening. Looks like they have a great patio in the back with a great creekside/greenback view. I did see a couple of musicians that sounded pretty good. I did not stay to sample, though.
Be sure to check out their blog for media reviews and lots of enticing pictures!

The girls are having a barbecue, but the guys are late. Too bad for them as things escalate when the ladies compare tits. Ebony babes Chanell Heart and Yasmine De Leon appreciate Kimberly Kendall's new and majestic triple Ds. The boobs look and feel natural, but they want to put to the test. Watch this lesbian orgy that will make you sweat and wet your pants. The babes then decide to move the party in to the living room where they provide each other the ultimate pleasure. Flexible tongues and skillful fingers are the main dish. Can you keep up and party with these girls?

Oenophiles flock to Florida for the nation's most exclusive wine auction.
When a marching band assembles on the otherwise serenely verdant lawns of the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla., locals and staff brace themselves for a wave of invading oenophiles prepared to abandon themselves to the unrestrained consumption and purchase of rare wines. This gathering is not a subtle one, but for devotees of fermented grape juice—as well as the cuisine of internationally renowned chefs—the Naples Winter Wine Festival is a food-and-wine Brigadoon.
The upcoming festival, running from January 23 through 25, will mark the 15th anniversary of the event, which has raised more than $123 million for local children's charities since its inception in 2001. "It's truly an amazing event," says Prince Robert of Luxembourg, the proprietor of Château Haut-Brion and a former festival honoree. "I'm not aware of anything else quite like it."
The festival's considerable success as a fund-raiser is attributable in part to its format and careful organization. Attendees first join for the Meet the Kids reception, where they visit with the children whom their generosity will benefit. They then don their evening wear for the extremely popular Friday-night vintner dinners, which welcome guests into some of the city's most exquisite private residences to enjoy multicourse menus by such award-winning chefs as Tom Colicchio and Barbara Lynch and the wines of such world-renowned vintners as Marchese Piero Antinori and Olivier Krug. These glittering soirees, however, merely serve as precursors to the main event, the Saturday-afternoon auction, where bidders raise their paddles on an elaborate series of lots that range from verticals of the world's most sought-after wines to rare automobiles. The Sunday brunch that follows this charitable bacchanal is often a somewhat bleary-eyed affair: The wine, after all, flows freely throughout the weekend.
Last year, the auction generated more than $13.3 million in three hours. "The bidders that come under the tent have the means to travel anywhere, to buy any art they desire, to buy any automobile they want," says one of this year's cochairs, Chuck Hallberg. "What attracts them and what causes them to come and bid on our items is the uniqueness that we endeavor to build into each and every lot."
This year's catalogue includes a 10-day trip through Florence, Venice, and Istanbul designed around the novel Inferno by Dan Brown, whom the travelers might encounter along the way; an invitation to the Royal Ascot and Order of the Garter procession with Queen Elizabeth and members of the British royal family; a weekend in Gettysburg, Penn., with the filmmaker Ken Burns; dinner at Château Margaux with its wine director, Paul Pontallier; and a 2015 Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 painted a custom blu caelum metallic.
Tickets start at $8,500 per couple for the festival; a special $20,000 package includes reserved seating for a party of four at the same vintner dinner and at the auction. Still, those interested in attending should plan well ahead. When Hallberg and his wife, Sharon, first moved to Naples in 2008, they were turned away. "When we finally got in [in 2009]," he says, "we were completely blown away. I'm talking off-the-scale phenomenal."
"The wine festival," says Judge Judy Sheindlin, a Naples resident, "is one of the few places where you can do good, feel good about doing good, and have a great time—all in one unique afternoon."

The Parallel team is very excited to take part in "Wear a Hat Day 2017" on Friday 31 March in support of Brain Tumour Research.
Several of our families have been directly affected by the disease, and we hope to raise a sizable amount for this under-funded charity, whilst also increasing awareness of the important work which they continue to undertake. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK.
We hope you enjoy the photos which we will be uploading to our Twitter and Facebook accounts on Friday!
Please feel free to circulate our JustGiving page as widely as possible to help our fundraising efforts.
However large or small your donation, we thank you very much for your time and generosity in supporting this event.
UPDATE: We are thrilled to have beaten our fundraising target for "Wear a Hat Day 2017", having raised over £800 for Brain Tumour Research. Thank you all for your generous donations!

Once a village of mills, Rebecq now only has two: the Grand Moulin and the Petit Moulin. The brick and stone Grand Moulin was rebuilt between 1858 and 1860 on foundations dating from the 16th century, and was used for grinding barley, oats and rye. It now houses a museum about the quarrying of porphyry at Quesnast, an area near Rebecq. The Petit Moulin was used solely for milling wheat. It contains milling machinery which is still in working order, and also houses a foundry.

We hold hands a lot. We never knew why we enjoyed it so much until we listened to a talk by a clinical psychologist who spoke about the power of holding hands and its effect on the brain.
He put people into an MRI machine and lightly shocked them to see how their brains responded. With each small shock, the stress levels in their brains skyrocketed.
He then had them hold hands with a stranger. Their brain response calmed a little, but not much.
Then he had them hold hands with their spouse. This time their brains responded with far less stress, actually moving more toward normal levels. They also reported feeling less pain with the shock.
Finally, he decided to do an image scan of the brains of the spouses (those not getting shocked). To his surprise, he discovered that their brains mirrored the same stress level as the spouse who had received the shock.
He ended his talk by explaining that holding hands with someone is deeper than just enjoying physical touch – it's our brain's way of communicating to another person that we are "with" them. This signal is so powerful that done consistently over time it changes from "I'm WITH you" to "I AM you."
"…and the two shall become one." Sounds like science is catching up with the Bible. And it sounds like we need to hold hands more.

Middle East power fusion of upbeat tempos, Hip Hop, Cuban Funk with a distinctive African flavor.
Booking Territory
Europe - others on request
Sharmoofer's creations are best described as a comedic narration of the surreal chaos of our daily lives. Their songs are infused humorous tracks of upbeat tempos, Jazzy Blues, Hip hop and Cuban Funk with a distinctive African flavor, which relates to their background as percussionists, and a signature opener - "Al-Salam Alaykoum" (Peace Be Upon You).
They don't stick to a certain genre. They like to explore and draw influence from the different types of music they get exposed to. Given their short musical journey which would normally narrow their audience to young youth, the band doesn't target a specific group. Their vision is to make music that lifts people's spirits, that has an infectious energy, but in a positive, light-hearted and relatable way.
Sharmoofers have taken stages across Egypt and the MENA region by storm, mesmerizing the crowds and giving them performances to remember. Their concert's venues get jammed by devoted fans to experience their live performances, and sing along to their songs. Sharmoofers performed with Cairokee at Redbull Soundclash in 2015 with 10k attendees, Redbull Fel Share3 with 12k attendees, a concert with Mashrou' Leila and el Moraba3 in 2017 with 40k attendees!
Sharmoofers does not stop with the founders Bob & Moe, as they have combined 5 of the best musicians in town; all so brilliant in what they do to form Sharmoofers & family.
- Hit single Khamsa Santy (3 mil. hits)
- Best Band in 2014 in the Middle East Music Awards (MEMA)

{Excerpt} According to Etienne Wenger, communities of practice are groups of people who share a passion for something they do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better. Communities of practice define themselves along three dimensions: what they are about, how they function, and what capabilities they produce. Each community of practice has a unique domain, community, and practice (and the support it requires). But, inconnecting and collecting, communities of practice share the following common characteristics:
• They are peer-to-peer collaborative networks.
• They are driven by the willing participation of their members.
• They are focused on learning and building capacity.
• They are engaged in sharing knowledge, developing expertise, and solving problems.

The risk of getting caught is key to cutting theft in retail. Our integrated security / point of sale solution provides greater certainty of capture. As the photo shows, we record items being sold and list them over the vision of the sale. We have offered this link for many years. Our own experience is that the link pays for itself.
Beyond cutting theft, our link also eliminates disputes about amount tendered, when an item was purchased and other queries at the counter. These facilities boost confidence of team members when dealing with difficult customers.
In the back of the shop one can monitor the 8, 16 and even more cameras on the management screen. This is also where we can search the vision based on stock items and other criteria – for when we need to check when an was last sold.
With theft in retail costing between 3% and 5% of sales and a professional security system costing around .5% of gross sales, the financial benefits the point of sale / security system integrated package are obvious.
