Securing the Inside Track: How Procurement Can Get Ahead of Brexit
It is now 20 months since that fateful day when the UK electorate voted for their country to leave the European Union. The construct of leaving has become known the world over as "Brexit" (which is a slight misnomer, since Brexit covers Northern Ireland which although a part of the UK is not technically part of Great Britain). Anyway, Article 50 was triggered almost a year ago and so March 2019 is hurtling with alacrity towards us. I say "fateful day" on purpose because regardless of viewpoint, we are to some extent at the mercy of "fate" as there is very little clarity on how this is going to unfold. Despite the work of the politicians and the bureaucrats, businesses are really somewhat in the dark. Several high-profile companies have publically stated that they are moving their European Headquarters from the UK to Continental Europe, whilst others have nailed their colours to the UK mast and have proudly announced their intention to invest further in the country. Most, however, are considering their options.
Brexit is going to affect pretty much every commercial business in the country. Within those businesses nearly all functions will be affected, none more so than procurement. Direct procurement professionals will be looking to lock-in prices of their core resources to mitigate volatility come 2019, and those more focused on indirect procurement will be looking at expanding their supplier base to include more UK based companies. Given that cost reduction remains the top priority for Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) as they look to support growth in an uncertain market (Deloitte Global CPO Survey 2017) that would seem to be at odds with the general belief that Brexit will lead to rising costs and damage the UK economy. So, the CPOs of UK businesses are going to find themselves in the spotlight more than ever when Brexit hits. They will be under extreme pressure to identify cost savings and prove they have total visibility into their supply chains, at a time when, if the forecasters are to be believed, costs are rising. Like King Canute, they will be trying to hold back rising tides. In addition to this, we could well be witnessing a perfect storm in the summer of '19. Not only will CPOs be dealing with Brexit, but GDPR will have been in force for a year and by then the regulators may well be flexing their muscles and looking at data management throughout an organisation's supply chains, looking for non-compliance and investigating data breach disclosures.
So, what can the CPO and his or her procurement department do to get ahead of this and mitigate any potentially negative consequences of Brexit?
An excellent recent blog post from Phil Denson at Insider Procurement entitled "Preparing for Brexit – 7 things procurement teams should do now" was thought-provoking. To synopsize it, Phil identifies these as 1) Review your supplier base. Do the groundwork now by identifying alternative non-EU suppliers, should you need to switch post-Brexit. 2) Identify your critical suppliers. Especially for direct procurement. You absolutely need to think about worst-case scenarios and consider hedging strategies, forward pricing and so on. 3) Consider whether any EU suppliers not present in the UK could be persuaded to set up in the country. That seems a long shot but a collective approach with like-minded companies might be worth investigating. 4) Audit your supply chain. This is critical and isn't specific only to Brexit. As mentioned before, the incoming GDPR regulations mean whether a business is a controller, a processor or both, they must know how personally identifiable information is being used throughout their supply chains. 5) Carry out a contract audit. More of this in a moment. 6) Put contingency plans in place to mitigate delays in the supply chain and finally 7) Be prepared for additional workload, especially around paperwork, as tariffs and import complexity increase.
Overall, a very useful "to-do" list for the CPO and the procurement teams to consider.
Early last year I wrote a post about how UK businesses were stalling their GDPR projects in favour of focusing on Brexit. At least that was what businesses were reporting as the reason. From our perspective, however, we have seen a number of clients implementing Seal to understand their GDPR liabilities and exposures through contract analytics, and the same is running true for Brexit. Paul's piece points out that businesses need to audit their contracts for "Incoterms", a set of rules established by the International Chamber of Commerce designed to assist trading partners in a smooth and low-friction movement of goods. For contracts without Incoterms, there is a very real possibility of higher taxation and import duties. But that is not all. Many contracts will need repapering to reflect a potential change in governing law and certainly, companies outside the UK who trade with or supply goods to British companies will need to understand whether their contractual terms need changing. The Article 50 post outlined some of the potential actions a company can take right now, to get this under control.
As I have said many times before, contracts are the ultimate instantiation of supplier-customer relationships and at the end of the day when it comes to the legal status of the relationship, they are all that substantively matters. Whilst Brexit and indeed GDPR are multifaceted and no-one is suggesting that getting your contracts under control and knowing precisely what's in them is the whole story, it is undeniably on that "to-do" list and one that can be addressed with the latest advances in machine learning and contract analytics.

I volunteered to circulate cards to the office for our 2 administrative assistants. Everyone signed both cards without much question once I said it was for. Except for one guy. I handed him the cards and watched him read the messages I had written. Then he said, "Thanks, but I think I'm going to pass on this." I was speechless, particularly because I hear him over at the admin's desk all the time asking her to do things for him. I don't really know what his reasoning was but I'm kind of hoping the admins look through the card signatures and notice that he was the ONLY person that didn't sign them.

Press Conferences: Matt Nagy & Ryan Pace Talk Evaluation at Scouting Combine
The offseason is in full effect, and the Scouting Combine is upon us.
New Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace spoke with the media in Indianapolis on Wednesday, where they discussed evaluating the team, interviews at the Combine, and what they expect from young quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.
Nagy was impressed with how much Trubisky grew over his 12 rookie starts, and he knows how valuable that experience will be heading into the new season.
"What you could see is just some of the trust in his throws," Nagy said. "What happens naturally is the game slows down for you the more and more experience you get, so that's a benefit that he has going into this next year with us getting him. He has game experience, and he is not someone that is coming from the classroom."
Pace praised Trubisky's dedication both in season and offseason, as well as his leadership and how he's "obsessed with being great."
"Some of the things he's doing behind the scenes, kind of in the shadows, that might go unnoticed to a lot of people, it's very natural for him, "Pace said. "He's a natural leader. His work ethic, he's very passionate about this. It's really a 24/7 job for him. To be a good quarterback in this league, you have to be obsessed with being great, and Mitch definitely has that."

Breezy addition keeps cool in Melbournes summers with smart passive design
Comments Off on Breezy addition keeps cool in Melbournes summers with smart passive design
Sustainability and a tight budget were the driving features for this bright and airy lean-to extension to a detached 1960s home. Designed by Warc Studio , the timber-and-glass addition houses a spacious open-plan living area, dining space, and kitchen that connect to a rear garden. To meet sustainability requirements, the architects used locally and sustainably sourced timber, stressed resource efficiency , and promoted natural cooling with operable window openings and solar shading fins. Located in the Melbourne suburb of Oakleigh, Australia, the new addition was inspired by the mono-pitched lean-to structures prevalent to the homes in the area. The architects put a modern twist on the seemingly ubiquitous building structure by combining two gabled roofs with differing gradients. "The design program was driven by resource efficiency which was essential to delivering both economic and sustainable objectives," wrote the architects. "The resulting roof form provides a compact building envelope: the surface area of the additions are around 12% less than if a flat roof / flat ceiling solution had been employed with the same built volume. This in turn translates to increased efficiency of the thermal envelope and reduced capital material consumption." Related: Old bungalow transformed into a light-filled dwelling with recycled brick Large windows open the new addition up to views and natural light , reducing reliance on artificial lighting. To mitigate solar heat gain, the architects strategically placed window openings and an automated operable roof window for cross-ventilation . Laminated timber fins jut out from the glass panes to provide shade. The roof is lined with white steel sheet lining to minimize solar heat gain. + Warc Studio Via ArchDaily Images © Aaron Pocock

First fluorescent frog in the world found in South America
March 16, 2017 by

Comments Off on First fluorescent frog in the world found in South America
Scientists found the first fluorescent frog in the world – by accident – in South America . Researchers at Buenos Aires' Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum stumbled across the discovery while studying pigment in polka dot tree frogs, which are common in the continent. Beneath an ultraviolet (UV) light , the otherwise dull-colored frog glows bright blue and green. Fluorescence – or the ability to take in light at short wavelengths and re-emit it at longer wavelengths – is found in several ocean creatures but is incredibly rare on land. Only some scorpions and parrots were known to possess it until now, and this is the very first amphibian we've found that fluoresces. Scientists don't really know why creatures are fluorescent; they could be communicating, attracting mates, or concealing themselves. Related: Biofluorescent sharks glow bright green in the depths of the sea The scientists initially thought the frog might glow a faint red because it contains the pigment biliverdin, which gives some some insects a slight red fluorescence. But when the researchers shone a UVA flashlight on polka dot tree frogs that came from the Santa Fe, Argentina area, they were amazed to see the brown-green frogs glow bright green and blue instead. The journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published their research on March 13. Study co-author Maria Gabriella Lagoria told Chemistry World, "This is very different from fluorophores found in other vertebrates, which are usually proteins or polyenic chains." And there could be even more fluorescent frogs that we haven't discovered yet. Co-author Julián Faivovich told Nature, "I'm really hoping that other colleagues will be very interested in this phenomenon, and they will start carrying a UV flashlight to the field." He plans to seek fluorescence in 250 other tree frog species that have translucent skin like the polka dot tree frog. Via Nature and The Guardian Images via Carlos Taboada et al

New York Times Bestselling Author Inspires Young Readers
New York Times best-selling author Nic Stone visited students the afternoon of Nov. 29 to speak about her books "Dear Martin" and "Odd One Out" and to give inspiration as well.
Stone said she gained her inspiration for "Dear Martin" from an incident, Nov. 23, 2012 in Jacksonville, Fla., where a 17-year-old black boy was shot by a white man at a gas station over loud music.
"As a person who had just given birth to a little black boy knowing that there will come a point when my little black boy is not so little, realizing that people will look at my kid like he's a threat before they look at him like he's a person had me really messed up," Stone said.
"Dear Martin" is about a 17-year-old black boy, Justcye, who goes to a predominately white school and battles the racial prejudice around him.
Stone said her main takeaway for people after reading her book is for them to realize the power they have within themselves. It's an act of rebellion to be kind. It's revolutionary to just love the person you love. It's an act of rebellion to like yourself and to enjoy being who you are and living in your skin." — Nic Stone
"At the end of the day, no matter what anybody says about you, no matter what anyone thinks about you, it's up to you to decide what type of person you want to be," Stone said.
Stone also said she would like to encourage people to take hold of the power they have and be satisfied with who they are.
It's an act of rebellion to be kind. It's revolutionary to just love the person you love. It's an act of rebellion to like yourself and to enjoy being who you are and living in your skin."
— Nic Stone
"It's an act of rebellion to be kind," she said, "It's revolutionary to just love the person you love.
It's an act of rebellion to like yourself and to enjoy being who you are and living in your skin."
Stone gave larger presentations for language arts classes during fifth and seventh hours where she spoke on the power all people hold and allowed the audience to ask questions.
Rob Durham, secondary language arts teacher, attended Stone's fifth and sixth hour sessions.
He said "Dear Martin" took a non-biased, holistic approach to racism.
"I thought she was fair as to her portrayal of white people who were ignorant towards the situation," Durham said.
He recommends the book for both teenagers and adults.
"Police brutality and profiling is such a topic in the news, especially in St. Louis," Durham said. "I think it's an important book for our generation."
Mary Olubogun, junior, went with her language arts class to the fifth hour session as well.
She hasn't read Stone's books, yet after hearing Stone speak, she plans to do so.
She said she was encouraged by Stone as a young adult and as an African American women.
" I think her view compared to someone older is different and I've never really heard that perspective before," Olubogun said.
Olubogun said it motivated her to journal about her own personal experiences as a biracial female.
"She inspired me to not keep all of your experiences in. There's still a way to verbalize your experiences and your heart without having to be condemning or rude or hateful," Olubogun said.

Roushd News Agency, in the meeting held at the presidential palace, the country's president said that the government was closely working with the civil society and the media to hold a duly transparent election process.
The president's recent plan to include the civil society representatives in the electoral commission as well as peace process has cheered up the activists to praise the government's commitment to use all means in its way forwards to ensure a real democratic system.
In the meeting, the delegation pointed out to some facts saying civil society had offered great sacrifices for democracy and played key role in monitoring election process and creating public awareness and added that a transparent election would be impossible unless to ensure public awareness.
This is really a matter of appreciation that the civil society has asked the president for announcing the election date as the organization, with enough experience, knowledge and capacity can assist the government to conduct the process.
Indeed, the government has done all what it could to ensure a transparent election, through sharing work and monitoring effort by the civil society and the media, as apart from this, no transparent election would be held in the country.
The government, especially the president's effort for taking care of women's rights and his consultation with the civil society organizations, can be commendable as a symbol of real democracy in the country, as the women are in dire need of political and financial support to contest elections and to have a say in the electoral bodies planning.
As the president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan said, the government was fully committed to hold the parliamentary and district council elections and that civil society's role was very effective in providing public awareness among the people.
No doubt that civil society can play key role in providing a transparent process of the upcoming elections and that happening of any fraud in the process would be impossible if the government fails to provide better ground for their cooperation.
In the past, election was not a process could be welcomed by the people and this should be an experience by the government to try its best to ensure a transparent process to be acceptable for the mass.
The country's president commitment to have the cooperation of the civil society and media would not be an empty claim, but there was a need for introduction of eligible and honest individuals to be introduced as the electoral body members.

If Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius (it is), then Saturnian issues will tend to do well here. If the Sun is in its detriment here (it is), then the power of the Sun is diminished. The warmth and seasonal light of our favorite star is not very strong in February. This translates to components of our personality, such that Penelope in this chapter is repeatedly characterized as being hard hearted (detriment).
"Strange woman! So hard- the gods of Olympus (line 185)
made you harder than any other woman in the world."
Of course the gods of Olympus are the planets in their orbits. This persona is not limited to a single reference.
"Oh Mother," Telemachus reproached her, (line 111)
"cruel mother, you with your hard heart!
And again,
after bearing twenty years of brutal struggle- (line 118)
your heart was always harder than a rock!
And it often is a difficult passage for people of an Aquarian vibration,"twenty years of brutal struggle," with extended lengths of time worked into the mix, of age and aging. This is both the Sun in its detriment and Saturn's influence.
"I'd have her bundled back to her room in pain. (line 25)
It's only your old gray head that spares you that!"
And at last my own death will steal upon me . . . (line 323)
a gentle, painless death, far from the sea it comes
to take me down, borne down with the years in ripe old age
"And so," Penelope said in her great wisdom, (line 326)
"if the gods will really grant a happier old age
there's hope that we'll escape our trails at last."
" . . . in her great wisdom . . ." The real strength of Aquarius lies in its wisdom. It is a sign of knowledge and information that is learned over the course of time as an acquired craft. On the high side, they're brilliant. On the flip side they can be a half-wit, or crazy. Their wiring is frayed.
"Dear old nurse," wary Penelope replied, (line 11) "the gods have made you mad. They have that power,
putting lunacy into the clearest head around
or setting a half-wit on the path to sense.
They've unhinged you, and you were once so sane.
For instance there's the master craftsman, who knows how to construct a house properly or approach any action strategically. This is an acquired skill.
"Look to it all yourself, now father," his son (line 139)
deferred at once. "You are the best on earth,
they say, when it comes to mapping tactics.
No one, no mortal man, can touch you there.
To which Odysseus replies,
"Then here's our plan," (line 145)
the master of tactics said. "I think it's best."
There we'll see (line 157)
what winning strategy Zeus will hand us then."
We'll see what winning strategy the sky will hand us then. This is astrology at work. The keywords of Aquarius are, "I know."
I know, I built it myself- no one else . . . (line 213)
There was a branching olive-tree inside our court,
grown to its full prime, the bole like a column, thickset.
Around it I built my bedroom, finished off the walls
with good tight stonework, roofed it over soundly
and added doors, hung well and snugly wedged.
Then I looped the leafy crown of the olive,
clean cutting the stump bare from roots up,
planing it round with a bronze smoothing adze-
I had the skill- I shaped it plumb to the line to make
my bedpost, bored the holes it needed with an auger.
Working from there I built my bed, start to finish,
I gave it ivory inlays, gold and silver fittings
wove the straps across it, oxhide gleaming red.
There's our secret sign. I tell you, our life story!
Does the bed, my lady, still stand planted firm?-
I don't know- or has someone chopped away
that olive-trunk and hauled our bedstead off?" (line 229)
Of course the master blueprint, stratagem, or outline that needs to be read is the maze of the stars and planets themselves. This is Athena's specialty.
Athena had not thought of one more thing. (line 275)
She held back the night, and night lingered long
at the western edge of the earth, while in the east
she reined in Dawn of the golden throne at Ocean's banks,
commanding her not to yoke the windswift team
that brings men light,
Blaze and Aurora, the young colts that race the Morning on.
to the deathless gods who rule the vaulting skies, (line 319)
to all the gods in order.
And later . . .
Athena, her eyes afire, had fresh plans. (line 388)
Once she thought he'd had his heart's content
of love and sleep at his wife's side, straightaway
she roused young Dawn from Ocean's banks to her golden throne,
to bring men light and roused Odysseus too
Aquarius is one of the few signs of the zodiac that have, contained within it, what are considered to be beneficial stars, stars that lead to both mirth and joy, our hopes and dreams (aspirations). For instance, the brightest star in the constellation Aquarius is Sadalmelik, a name which translates from the Arabic as the Lucky One of the King, literally Al Sa'd al Malik. Beta Aquarium, Al Sa'd al Su'ud or Sadalsuud translates as the Luckiest of the Lucky while gamma Aquarium, the third brightest star, is named Sadalsuud, from Al Sa'd al Su'ud, liberally translated as the Luckiest of the Lucky, etc.
It is in this, the 23rd chapter of 24 that Penelope can finally tune into her joy, the return of Odysseus.
"Penelope- child- wake up and see for yourself, (line 5)
with your own eyes, all you dreamed of, all your days!
He's here- Odysseus- he's come home, at long last!
Penelope's heart burst into joy, she leapt from bed (line 34)
her eyes streaming tears, she hugged the old nurse (Saturn)
and cried out with an eager, winging word.
"Please, dear one, give me the whole story.
If he's really home again, just as you tell me
you two can embark, loving hearts, along the road to joy (line 58)
Look, your dreams, put off so long, come true at last-
you've conquered my heart, my hard heart, at last!" (line 258)
The more she spoke, the more a deep desire for tears (line 259)
welled up inside his breast- he wept as he held his wife
he loved, the soul of loyalty, in his arms at last.
Joy, warm as the joy that shipwrecked sailors feel
when they catch sight of land-
their bodies crusted with salt but buoyed up with joy (line 267)
Odysseus, the old master of stories, answered. (line 300)
"Why again, why force me to tell you all?
Well, tell I shall. I'll hide nothing now.
But little joy it will bring you, I'm afraid,
as little joy for me.
But the royal couple, once they'd reveled in all (line 342)
the longed-for joys of love, reveled in each other's stories
And on that note, we'll bring this chapter to a close with . . .
Joy to the world.

SCLT Public Presentation Team Visit Blacwood Active Stroke Group
Thursday 8th November 2018 has seen SCLT volunteer Jon Williams joining the weekly meeting of the Blackwood Active Stroke Group where he facilitated an enrichment lecture on 'Dracula
The award-winning stroke support group was set up in October 2003 as a support group for people affected by stroke, and became a registered charity in 2009. It was developed by stroke survivors who found they had no one to turn to when they were released from hospital and wanted to further their rehabilitation. The aim of the group is to help people with their physical and social rehabilitation, in a safe and friendly environment, where members can discuss their issues and concerns.
The original group logo was a locked padlock which signified members feelings of being locked out of their previous lifestyle. Today the group logo is an unlocked padlock to signify that the members new lifestyle can be greatly enhanced through group encouragement and self-motivation to unlock their future potential. There is a varied activity programme which is member led, to enhance the mind, body and spirit and often includes guest speakers on a variety of interesting subjects.
The group meets every Thursday morning between 10 am and 12 noon at the Cefn Glas Sheltered Housing complex in Highfields, Blackwood (NP12 1HD). Meetings are open to stroke survivors - to become a member of Blackwood Active Stroke Group, you must be able to attend to your own personal care needs, or be accompanied by a carer who can. Wheelchair users are welcome with their carers, and are encouraged to participate in all our activities.
At the conclusion of the highly interactive and engaging presentation on the blood-thirsty leader, SCLT veteran presenter Jon commented, "It has been a real privilege to be invited to join the members of the Not So Young Club on this Halloween period to share with them the terrifying story of the life and times of Vlad Dracul III, believed by most to be the man that Bram Stoker based his fictional anti-hero, Count Dracula of Transylvania
I Have also passed on advice and support about staying safe and avoiding scams in later life. I hope that the advice I have given today, will make the audience think about their own circumstances and start to form a personal safety plan for the day when the doorbell rings or the scam e-mail or letter is targeted at them"
Every member of the audience received a personal copy of the award-winning Senior Siren magazine, which contains advice about staying safe in later life, as well as lots of interesting lifestyle features, such as recipes, personality interviews, short stories and games & puzzles

The Department of Labor's Office of Labor-Management Standards proposes to re-establish a Form T-1 to capture financial information pertinent to trusts in which a labor organization is "interested" (section 3(l) "trusts"), information that historically has largely gone unreported. The LMRDA's various reporting provisions are designed to empower labor organization members by providing them the means to maintain democratic control over their labor organizations and ensure a proper accounting of labor organization funds. The proposed rule helps bring the reporting requirements for labor organizations and section 3(l) trusts in line with contemporary expectations for the disclosure of financial information.

Last year, the council would have been different. According to SV Development, in January 2007, a plot of land on the outskirts of the capital would cost you on average $ 3500 for a hundred. Selling it in December 5864 for the dollar, you would earn 67%. Given official inflation rate in 16.6%, you would still remain a substantial plus.
Related article: For the week of land near Odessa, declined to 0.35% ($ 22) to $ 6,183 per sq.m.Especially great were investing in land and Brovarskom Vyshgorod areas. There, the average land value for 2007 increased by 111% and 95.43% respectively.
Further land profitably in Borodyansky - by 71,5%, Kiev Svyatoshinsky - 70,2%, Vassilkovskaya - at 69.43%, Obukhov - 60,9% and Borispol - 49.85% - areas.
This year, investment in land near Kiev, in fact, unprofitable. The average price from January to March increased by 4.96% to 6,155 dollars, and inflation was 9.7%.
In particular, in the first quarter Kagarlyk land area has increased in price by 12.27% in Baryshevsky - by 10.81% in Borodyansky district - to 7.15% in Brovarskom - on 7,08%, in Borispol - to 5.72% in Vassilkovskaya - at 4.93%, in Kiev Svyatoshinsky area at 3.82%, in the Obukhov - at 3.76%.
According to experts, the earth in the Kiev region will continue to go up, but slowly.
"Land in the suburbs of the capital will grow, is expected to increase by 5-10%," - think Sergey Golub, director of analysts 'Kansas'.
"The price of land in the Kiev region will grow, but not rapidly as demand for its balanced" - I agree with him director of marketing for SV Development Vladimir Stepenko.
His prediction in 2008, land near Kiev go up on average by 25%.
"In the Obukhov, Kiev Svyatoshinsky (18%), Vassilkovskaya and Brovarskom (to 22-31%). In Obukhov district - 16,6% -17%, Kiev Svyatoshinsky - 17% Vyshgorod - 22%, Vassilkovskaya - 33%, and Borodyansky - 31%. more expensive land in the district centers (Fastow, 25-56%) "- predicts Stepenko
Experts recommend to pay attention to the regions.
According to SV Development, in 2007, went up the most land in recreation areas: on the outskirts of Yalta, the value of land increased by 50%. In the Odessa region, the land near the sea has risen by 60%. 50% increase in prices of land in Lviv region. Allotments in Kharkov region increased in price by 20-30%. In the Donetsk region of the earth rose in price by 25-30%.
Analysts say with confidence that the land in the regions will become more expensive.
"In regions of the land value will increase to 50% depending on the lack of space.
Land price will rise in Donetsk, Odessa, Yalta, Kharkiv, Lviv, on the southern coast of Crimea. Will also go up in the suburbs - depending on city development ", - said Golub.
"Land price will rise substantially in the cities millionikah, 2-3 years - in the regional centers. Strong prices will go up on the southern coast of Crimea", - predicts Vladimir Stepenko.
But when you buy land you need to consider not only the overall outlook in the region, but prospects for a particular site.
At the cost of the land affected by many factors: the proximity of transport, timber or pond, the presence of utilities (gas, electricity).
"A small area in Koncha Zaspa, which initially seemed profitable, fell in its price after having been purchased and fenced larger near him. Thus, a small area was cut off from the forest, and its value has fallen sharply" - leads Stepenko example.
But at high risk land is potentially a very successful investment.
"Investing in land is uniquely beneficial," - says Golub.

Deliciously Ella delivers the goods
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. And while the idea of being a chocolate rabbit isn't all bad (thanks Easter), it's all about moderation. Food should never be about diet and deprivation, but a celebration of deliciousness that makes you feel good.
It's a sentiment shared by Ella, of Deliciously Ella fame, who chatted to us about why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to food, and how if you're going to make healthy eating sustainable, it's got to be enjoyable.
Can you tell us about the catalyst that prompted your lifestyle overhaul eating in 2011?
I got very ill with a condition that affected my autonomic nervous system, it's called Postural Tachycardia Syndrome. I was put on lots of medication but struggled to gain control of my symptoms, which affected everything from my heart rate to my blood pressure, digestion, immune system and chronic fatigue. I really struggled with the debilitating impact this had on my physical health, which in turn really affected my mental health. After about a year I hit my rock bottom and started to look at what I could do to help myself. I became interested in health and wellness and began exploring the space. It took a while to feel the impact of a big lifestyle shift, but after a few years I was able to come off my medication and have kept most symptoms at bay since then.
What's your philosophy towards health and wellness? Your Instagram bio says, "celebrating plant-based food and working to make vegetables cool" – we love it – can you talk about the greater mission behind this statement?
I really want to help change the perception of healthy food. There are so many misconceptions that fruit and veg, beans and nuts etc are relatively bland foods and we don't necessarily gravitate towards them in Western cooking – they're too often the side dish. To get closer to eating our five portions of fruit and veg a day we've got to get everyone more excited about it and show just how delicious they can be.
What's your favourite thing about your work?
The variety. I love that I get to do different things every day and work with such a diverse group of people. The Deliciously Ella community is absolutely phenomenal too, I feel so lucky to have their support and they really guide all of our business decisions.
You now have an app, multiple cookbooks, a deli, 1.2 million followers on Instagram, and your products all over the UK – congratulations, you're officially a total #bosslady. Did you ever think you'd make such big waves?
Once changed my diet I made a decision to share my journey into the healthy space online. I created my blog, deliciouslyella.com, which grew quickly, and I then started sharing on Instagram too. The community started asking for cooking classes, workshops and events so I started doing those. I invested the money from that into an app, which went to #1 overnight in the UK and US iTunes store – it was a dream come true and I put it down to the deep community engagement. On the back of that I was offered a book deal. A similar thing happened with the book and it went on to become the fastest-selling debut cookbook event in the UK and has now been translated into 22 languages! Since then we've published another three best-selling cookbooks, opened sites in London and launched a retail line of our products across about 5,500 stores around the UK – it's been quite a journey and one that I never ever expected to happen! It all started off as such a personal story and it does feel mad reflecting on how a small, personal blog written from my student kitchen became a business with forty people.
What's your favourite food?
I love making a big curry. I'll sauté herbs and spices like mustard seeds, cumin seeds, paprika and cayenne pepper then add marinated roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower, simmer those in coconut milk before wilting in spinach and serving with crunchy roasted chickpeas and sesame brown rice. I adore an apple, maple and cinnamon crumble too, as well as crunchy nutty granola with coconut yoghurt and fruit compote and our peanut butter raspberry energy balls.
What does a day on a plate look like for you?
It varies hugely as I do a lot of recipe testing so some days it's literally six cakes with some smashed avo toast either side, and other days it's a banana, spinach, blueberry smoothie then a quinoa salad with roast veg and a big curry for dinner. I love Japanese, Indian and Middle Eastern restaurants too, they always have brilliant veggie options.
What are your top tips for someone who wants to embrace healthy eating and a vegan diet?
Find what works for you, there's no one size fits all in anything and if it's going to be sustainable, it has to be enjoyable.
So go forth, find food goodness that lasts and enjoy feeling downright fabulous as a result.

KFA Annual Public Lecture 2019/20 – Prof Jo McDonald, Uni Club UWA Perth.
Australia's Rock Art: Connecting our Deep Past with the Future
Rock art represents some of the best evidence for humanity's artistic deep history. Rock art has been made across the world for at least 40,000 years. It includes a plethora of paintings, drawings, stencils, prints and engravings made by all peoples directly onto the earth's harder surfaces. Australia has one of the world's greatest rock art estates: a vast cultural resource essential to understanding why humans make art. This is an essential record of the First Australians and their journey into Australia. And it is a record of Aboriginal peoples' cultural connections, and their resilience, persistence and ingenuity through the millennia.
Researchers working with Aboriginal people in Australia's north-west are forging new understandings of this amazing national treasure. And new management regimes which include Indigenous Protected Areas and co-managed national parks are providing the platforms for sustainable new economies for Aboriginal people working with rock art on-country. With the rise of adventure and educational tourism, rock art provides a vital interface between deep time and contemporary Aboriginal values. This talk focuses on some of the partnerships between Aboriginal communities and researchers at the Centre for Rock Art Research + Management, UWA, and highlights some of the magnificent rock art of Australia's north-west which is enabling these new understandings and economic opportunities.
Jo McDonald is the Director of the Centre for Rock Art Research + Management at UWA. She held the Rio Tinto Chair in Rock Art Studies (2012-2017). She recently completed an ARC Future Fellowship (2011-2016). Her Fellowship project studied rock art, social and environmental change in two of the great deserts of the world: the Western Desert in Australia and the Great Basin in the USA. Prior to taking up her role at UWA, Jo ran a leading cultural heritage practice based in Sydney. She has more than 35 years' experience in managing Indigenous archaeology and has been researching rock art throughout this time.

text: There are two types of malt powder available. Diastatic malt powder is allowed to develop enzymes, which digest starches into sugar. When diastatic malt is used in baked goods, it tends to result in sweeter, smoother, and higher rises. The extra sugar it produces helps feed yeasts used to make yeast dough, so less yeast can be used.Much more common is non-diastatic malt. This does not have enzymes but it can still impart wonderful flavor, and lovely appearance to baked goods. Non-diastatic malt is common in malted milk powder. Both forms may be available at your local health food store, but non-diastatic malt is usually easier to find. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-malt-powder.htm

With a comprehensive curriculum concentrated in five days, the Academies @Home will give students the knowledge, guidance and resources they need to understand the workings of business, coding, politics and pre-med.
The Curriculum
Our curriculum, developed by our specialized Harvard undergrads and teaching staff, in conjunction with elite experts in their fields, is geared to teach high school students the fundamentals of business, coding, politics to pre-med as well as give exposure to college life. Depending on the specific program, some topics covered include:
The Company
Harvard Student Agencies, Inc. (HSA) is the largest student-run company in the world, employing more than 500 undergraduates annually.

Orbit Communications introduces a new line of GSM remote tank alarm systems for tank monitoring and tank level detection applications.
GSM-2200-OD GSM remote tank alarms from Orbit Communications can be connected to any number of remote tanks to provide a reliable and instant notification to a mobile phone in the event of tank overflow or tank low condition.
The primary input to the remote tank alarms is a simple float switch. Upon activation the GSM-2200-OD remote GSM tank alarm system will send an alert text message directly to a mobile phone.
The setup software that comes with the system enables up to 5 mobile phones to be connected to the remote alarm and receive an SMS text alert message via the GSM or NEXT-G/3G mobile phone network.
The setup software enables site descriptions and tank descriptions to identify alarms from multiple sites.
For remote locations with no mains power supply, the GSM-2200-OD wireless GSM tank alarms can be supplied with a renewable energy source such as solar power. The system can alternately be powered by 12/24V DC or optional 230VAC mains power supply.
In addition to tank overflow or low level alarms, the system can send Mains Loss/Restore alarms and Low Battery/Battery Restore alarms.
The status of the system can be determined at any time by sending an SMS text command to the GSM remote tank alarm system.
The GSM remote tank alarm has two auxiliary digital outputs that can be switched ON and OFF by SMS text messages from the mobile phone on any GSM or Next-G mobile phone network.
The remote alarm system is supplied with a high gain GSM antenna to ensure healthy communications over the GSM/Next-G mobile phone network in areas that may have weaker reception.
GSM-2200-OD GSM remote tank alarms are essential for critical applications such as remote water tanks that need to be filled when low, as well as sewerage storage tanks that become full and require emptying.
Designed, manufactured and supported in Australia by Orbit Communications, the GSM-2200-OD GSM remote tank alarm system comes with a 3-year warranty.

UOL Group Ltd (UOL SP) - Best Proxy To Higher Property Prices in Singapore
Maintain BUY on top sector pick
- We raise our TP to SGD9.05 (from SGD8.30) on higher RNAV and narrower target discount of 15%. The RNAV uplift stems from higher ASPs for its residential projects and narrower cap rates for its investment properties.
- With property prices at an inflection point, we expect RNAV discounts to narrow across the sector. With the biggest Singapore exposure among large cap developers, UOL remains the best proxy to a price rebound in the country.
- Maintain BUY on top sector pick.
Key changes and assumptions
- We raise our ASP assumptions for unsold stock by 1-6% with the most upside for unlaunched projects. We value the redevelopment of Raintree Gardens and 45 Amber Road at SGD1,600 psf and SGD1,800 psf.
- We lower our cap rate assumptions by 25-50bps and value its investment properties with cap rate assumptions of 3.50%-3.75% for office and 4.75%-5.00% for retail. This remains conservative when compared to cap rates of 3.2% for office and 4.2% for retail in recent transactions.
- RNAV is raised from SGD10.26 to SGD10.66.
Investment thesis
- We continue to like the defensive positioning of UOL. The company's mid-to-mass market focus in the residential market allows it to achieve swift sales, which leads to quick inventory turnover.
- We see good earnings visibility from its portfolio of commercial properties, hotels and investments that produce SGD300m+ of recurring EBITDA every year.
- We have not incorporated any upside from a potential restructuring of its cross-holdings with related entities in the medium term.
- Valuations are undemanding at 0.67x P/BV and 35% discount to RNAV.
Swing Factors
- Monetisation of property assets.
- Rebound in home sales.
- Unwinding or restructuring of cross-holdings in related parties like UOB, UIC and Haw Par.
- Overpaying for land.
- Poor execution of development projects.
- Sharp increase in interest rates which could dampen demand for properties and drive down asset prices.

This App Will Change The Way You Order Food
Have you ever found yourself sitting on your couch, daydreaming of a utopian future where a homemade feast can magically arrive hot, fresh, and with zero dirty dishes, in your kitchen whenever you want it? Yeah, me too. Well, folks, that future is finally here thanks to the launch of Homemade, a new food app available in the App Store that connects you, the hungry masses, with the best and brightest culinary minds in your neighborhood at the click of a button.
All you, the hungry person, have to do is download the app, check out the offerings in your area for the next few days, and request what you'd like to purchase. You check out just the way you would on Seamless, but your card isn't charged until your request is accepted, sort of like Uber or Lyft. Then, you meet up with your chef at an agreed upon location (some even deliver!) to collect your feast.
Homemade cofounder Nick Devane described his brainchild as "Etsy for cooking," and explained that it will create a platform for the birth of foodie communities built around the recipes that local chefs are passionate about cooking. Score one for the Big Apple, as most of the chefs currently cooking up feasts for Homemade are located in New York City, but according to Devane, the app will be expanding its services to Southern California and cities around the United States within the next two weeks. Applications to become a Homemade chef are currently available on its website.
Chefs will be able to take advantage of expert coaching and consulting on everything from pricing to marketing and food photography as a part of their vetted talent pool. That means customers will get the great taste of a restaurant meal with the individual care and pride of the home-cooked meals that you get when visiting home for the holidays, and the unique flair that each Homemade chef brings to his or her cooking.
Just check out this episode of its YouTube series Homereels.
So, if you're hungry for some handmade chow made by people for whom the food is in their soul, check out Homemade, and discover a new side of your neighborhood.

Classification of Students
Undergraduate degree-seeking students are classified according to the total number of credits earned. Classification or standing in a declared plan of study may vary from the classification used by the university in determining academic standing, financial aid award levels, etc.
|Completed Credits
|0 - 26
|27 - 59
|60 - 89
|90 or more
Credit limitations may be placed on students who have not been fully admitted to a degree program at NDSU.
Undergraduate non-degree student: One who is not seeking a degree or who has not completed the formal application process for admission. A maximum of 15 undergraduate credits may be completed in a non-degree student status. Non-degree students are not eligible for financial aid.
Conditional graduate standing: One who holds a baccalaureate degree and shows potential for successful graduate study, but does not meet all requirements for admission or has not satisfactorily completed prerequisite coursework. A maximum of 12 credits may be completed while under conditional status. Students may, in consultation with their major adviser, request a change to full graduate standing after demonstration of specified capability in graduate studies.
Graduate non-degree standing: One who holds a baccalaureate degree from an institution of recognized standing may enroll as a non-degree student. This category is for individuals who desire to pursue study beyond the baccalaureate degree for personal growth and improvement of skills, but not in order to work toward an advanced degree objective. No more than 10 credits taken under non-degree status with a grade of 'B' or higher may be transferred to any official program of study at NDSU. Students who decide to pursue full graduate admission are expected to complete the full application process.

FINRA Expands Focus on Algorithmic Trading With New Registration Requirements
On April 7, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a proposed rule change by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) that requires registration as Securities Traders of associated persons of FINRA members that are primarily responsible for the design, development or significant modification of algorithmic trading strategies. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 77551, 81 FR 21914 (April 13, 2016). Associated persons who are responsible for the day-to-day supervision or direction of such activities would also be required to register. Associated persons falling under the expanded rule will be required to pass the requisite qualifications examination and will be subject to applicable continuing education requirements.

Panel builders can prevent costly safety and compliance problems by knowing the latest changes to key standards and regulations.
When control panels are being conceived and created, developers often say they're focused on the needs of the customer. Savvy designers often add another focal point: the regulators and industry groups that set standards that must be included from the outset of the design cycle.
Standards that come from a number of regulatory bodies must often be considered in the critical field of control panels. Though standards organizations are often slow moving, it's always wise to keep an eye on these regulations to make sure that developers don't get tripped up by designing to an outdated document.
An aptly-named webinar, Codes and Regulations for Panel Builders, provides a broad view of the standards environment as it concerns control panels. It addresses some of the recent changes while also serving as a refresher for experienced staffers and a tutorial for design team members who haven't yet learned the nuances of understanding standards and making them an integral part of the end product. One of the most important is from Underwriters Laboratory.
"UL 508A is the real governing document for designing industrial panels," said Jeff Woolfolk, one of two Siemens experts.
Jim Sirois listed other standards that often play a role in products designed for domestic and global markets. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the National Fire Protection Association, the American National Standards Institute and the Canadian Standards Association are the dominant players in North America. Though the two focus primarily on North America, they also noted that IEC requirements will play a role for companies that sell into Europe.
In North America, the venerable UL 508 is gradually being displaced by an enhanced mark. The newer version provides more information, primarily the country of origin and a file number. The latter makes it easier to find information about the product.
The enhanced edition, now in the later stages of a 10-year phase-in period, won't impact existing products that don't have the new mark. It doesn't come with additional requirements, so its impact is relatively small. One of the biggest challenges is that providing more information means taking more space. That's an issue for push buttons, contactors and other small components that don't have room for a larger label.
At the same time, UL 508 is migrating to UL 60947. This change is being made to harmonize UL 508 with IEC 60947, the international standard for Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear. While the nomenclature will be different, compliance won't change.
The UL website tells you that technically, UL 508 and UL 60947 are exactly the same," Woolfolk said. "What happens in a few years is hard to say, but that's the way it is now. The actual impact is zero at this time."
While UL has moved to harmonize with the IEC, it's currently not in harmony with the National Electrical Code. In 2014, the NEC changed the definition of low voltage to 1 kV or less. That's up from the previous U.S. definition of 600 V. It's likely that UL will change its requirements, though nothing has yet been formalized.
Another change came in 2014, when UL altered the protection requirements for circuits above 32V. If a control panel has circuitry above 32V, it must have a dc protective device. Below 32V, a dc-rated protective device is not necessary.
Sirois noted that air conditioning is no longer part of the short circuit current calculations for products that are cord connected or are supplied by branch circuits that are protected to 60 amps.
"A lot of air conditioners have just one or two amps, which is hard to work with. Some parts don't go that small," Sirois said. "That's very helpful if you're doing any type of cooling on a panel. Eliminating this requirement helps to maintain a higher panel SCCR rating."
The reach of the UL standard is also expanding. In recent years, control panels for fountains and irrigation systems must now comply with the document.
Both Sirois and Woolfolk touched on the compliance differences between IEC and UL. Design teams working towards IEC compliance must select the relevant standards for their project and meet them, then create a declaration of conformity saying that they've met the standards. They can then put a certificate on the product. IEC puts the responsibility for safety on the owner, operator and manufacturer of the equipment.
In the U.S., companies must go to a third party company that will ensure that the product meets the relevant safety requirements. These companies, called authorities having jurisdiction, certify compliance. That's often easier than self-qualifying, the two speakers agreed.

Are you keeping a list of Vile Things You Never Knew Existed Until Just Now? If so, I've got the ideal addition to your depressing catalog. (If not, then…uh…good for you, that's probably a better way to live life.)
They're called Ring Shaming Facebook groups, and, as the name suggests, they are communities in which (terrible) women lambast engagement rings they deem subpar. Clearly, these heaux have never seen A Star Is Born.
Late last week, one such (terrible) woman posted a picture of a ring she hadn't even been offered yet to one such Facebook group.
"Ewwwww," she wrote (five w's!). "Self shame Friday here I come." She then wrote how she'd "found this in the BF's nightstand," how she is "not a fan," and encouraged other group members to "please roast and then tell me how to tactfully say 'no you need to go get something different.'"
There is obviously so much wrong with everything about this that it's difficult to know where to start (the french tips). It's one thing to go snooping through your SO's dresser (rookie hiding spot), but to then roast his ring choice to a bunch of Internet randos? Unforgivable.
The good citizens of Reddit said what the rest of us were thinking.
Mainly, dump her!!!
Some pointed out that there were more tactful ways of telling your loved one you aren't particularly fond of their taste in jewelry.
For the sake of everyone involved, we hope this cursed image meanders its way right back to french-tips' poor boyfriend before he can pop the question in a way she despises. If not, she'll undoubtedly transform into one of the many world-devouring bridezillas we've been known to shamelessly blast.

text: This is something that have annoyed me in the last two games. The fact that you can't unequip armour. In the first it was ok, because he more or less looked like the way a assassin is supposed to look. Loaded in terms of weapons and barely the minimum in regards of armour. So why didn't they let us look basic with only cloth covering our skin, an assassin isn't a knight, or a tank for that matter...So please I'm no game maker, but I can't imagine it being that hard to implement. If not to patch older games up at least put it in revelations for christ's sake...than you

BC stands foe lots of shitBlue ChipsBurnaby CripzBangin Cripevery one must wear Blue/Grey or Blue/Black
people are tough when they around they crew... but would they talk shit without them? most crew memberz is cowards IMO around here i get verbally bashed walking down teh street one day by 5 guys.. see a guy the next day and he will look the other way.. itz all bullshit i think gangs~1~
well im not in a crew but i love fuckin with dahoez aka tahoez, cause theres no ho like a tahoe, lolj/k yall dont take that serious, lol, some of yall might be dumb enough lol
BLAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAAHHAAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAAH!For your sake, I pray to God you aren't serious. Burnaby? LOL! That's in Canada!
hell's angels
LOL, I know about those punk asses.......
hmmm, LOL @ this.......Ayo i been 2 Australia before and I seen some lil Baby gangstas strollin around and shit in tha streets, no one stops them and says shit like in Cali, but its clear they've been influenced by gangs here.......
lol, we ain't got no crips up here! we got Asian gangs, and hell's angels, that's about it.
Yeah I read that Canada has a lot of Asian organized crime and the Hell's Angels aren't pussies either. They're not even a petty gang. Those bikers are more of an organized crime group. I read this book about them and they do major shit.
Asian gangz and Asian mafia are big out hea in kali too. They fah real about they shit.
Hell yeah, Vancouver's pretty much run by Asians. We got Asian street gangs, Asian organized gangs, and just straight Asians everywhere, lol. A lot of the street gangs will just start shit for no reason too. I'd say about 90% of high crimes here are gang related. As far as the Hells angels go, maybe in Cali they ain't shit, but up here they some scarry motherfuckers. They just sick. They make most of there money here off of Marijuana, which is everywhere here. I knew hella kids in highschool that sold weed for HA. Too bad they got shitty weed tho :-/and just ta let ya know, Vancouver has the most CRIME, DRUGS, and PROSTITUTION in all of Canada, and it's also the most expensive place to live in Canada. That just shows how tame Canada really is, cuz it ain't even that bed here. As long as you don't go out lookin for trouble, you'll be alright.
yah i dunno about up North in kali. but in Daygo Hells Angelz or biker gangz aint really a concern tah nobody. Im surprised Vancouver has tha worst crime tho. I thought Toronto would be worse. Mah homegirl stay in Detroit, n they say Toronto'z kinda like Chicago.
well this is how it goes....!!!half of these (claimin' to be) Banger kid's are all about figgaz... and most of them are in it for the free beatin' n protection....i'm from a land where people learn to take care of themselves from the beginin', so i don't need no maaphaakin' protection... and i've seen enough of beatin's and stabbin' and all those kindda shit and i got no intrest in them.. (unless necessary) .....so i think if there's no business in it and if you're just bang for the fuck of it then that's stupid....and it ain't worth it..but still stick with your kind and have their backs....P.M.......(Persian Mafia).....you know how it's done.....it's all about the class....no greedy shit....ONE
yah well, bangin jus fah fun is bullshit. but i dont know nobody who doin it like that....'less they out in Nebraska or Iowa or sum shit like dat. U not gonna come across too many muhafuckaz in kali who bang "jus because", cus tha shitll get WAY too serious for em. But alotta muhafuckaz grow up in tha shit. They parentz banged, they brothaz n cusinz banged. so of course u goan follow that shit if thas all u seen yo whole life. but like i said, tha shitz calmed down and people more about tha hustle these dayz, thas good.
