30 April 2019
Nationwide Building Society is today announcing that it has invested in Ordo, an innovative payment request service launching later this year that connects billers to payers using apps and secure messaging, putting billers and their customers back in control of their payments.
Ordo protects businesses and their customers from invoice and payments fraud by allowing businesses to simply and securely send payment requests (known as 'smart requests') directly to their customers via the Ordo app. The customer is immediately notified they've received a smart request which they can view, and when they are ready, quickly and easily make payment through the app. Ordo uses Open Banking and Faster Payments to make the payment, bank account to bank account, meaning businesses get their money instantly and customers know where they are with their finances in real time.
According to recent Nationwide research commissioned to examine the issues facing those approaching retirement, those in middle age have an average of £125,350 equity currently in their home.
Ordo's design means that there is no need to share any bank account details between billers and customers, and the biller always gets back the reference they provided with their received payment. Ordo will also allow businesses to include an invoice attachment as part of the end-to-end encrypted message.
While many people happily pay their regular bills by Direct Debit or card, these don't always suit everyone. There are also those one-off payments, such as paying a builder or the window cleaner. Ordo is perfect for these situations. Ordo is simple, swift and secure; it ensures that businesses, especially small and medium businesses for whom cash flow is key, can receive their hard-earned income into their account directly, instantly and cost effectively, but also keeps the payer in control of their bills and payments.
Ordo have applied for funding from Pool D of the Alternative Remedies Package Capability and Innovation Fund, which aims to improve the financial products and services available to UK SMEs. A successful bid will mean that Ordo can accelerate the development and roll-out of it's financial technology to SMEs, delivering Ordo's benefits more quickly to UK small business and their customers.
The team behind Ordo have a huge amount of payments, telecoms and networks experience. Most recently, they were part of the leadership team at the Faster Payments Scheme delivering the new access model that doubled the number of institutions able to directly connect to the system, pioneering access for challenger banks and other payment institutions.
The investment is the latest deal from Britain's biggest building society's as part of a £50 million Venturing Fund designed to create partnerships in which the Society and the start-ups share knowledge and expertise. As part of the fund, Nationwide is making strategic investments in and partnering with early stage start-ups exploring innovative products and services that could provide real benefits for the Society's members in the future.
Tony Prestedge, Deputy Chief Executive at Nationwide Building Society, said: "Ordo helps businesses gets invoices paid while at the same time allowing consumers to maintain control of how and when they pay their bill. This seemed a natural fit for Nationwide as a brand who helps its members manage their money and who itself later this year is entering the business banking market to offer an alternative for small and medium size businesses to the big banks."
Craig Tillotson, CEO and co-founder of Ordo, said: "We are delighted to have an investment from an organisation that shares our vision of making a positive difference to the financial lives and wellbeing of people, businesses, particularly SMEs, and communities. Nationwide's investment is not just about the money, although that will really help us to make Ordo a reality, but demonstrates the appeal of our innovative proposition. This is a great opportunity for SMEs and their customers, and will deliver significant benefits to the economy as whole."
The Venturing Fund supports the Society's recently announced multi-billion pound tech investment, which is designed to put the Society at the forefront of digital innovation. Technology is redefining how members want to be served and the Society is investing to stay ahead of expectations. The Society is investing a total of £4.1 billion in technology over the next five years.
Ordo is the trading name of The Smart Request Company Ltd, a FinTech established in 2018 to bring to market a secure messaging and request for payment solution. Ordo and Ordopay are trademarks of The Smart Request Company Ltd.
Ordo's Purpose is to improve the financial wellbeing of SMEs, consumers, public, private and third sector organisations by helping everyone be more in control of their money coming in, and bills and expenses going out. It enables: payers to simply, swiftly and securely see what they're being asked to pay, trust who's asking, and choose when to pay; billers to simply, securely, and cost effectively send the information their customers need, without sharing private financial information; and billers to understand the status of their bills and payments, with their money going straight into their account, cost-effectively and instantly.

If You're a Monster and You Know It by Rebecca Emberley and Ed Emberley
A great pick for a preschool Halloween party, this book will have kids wiggling and giggling to the silly monster movements. Set to the same song as If You're Happy and You Know It, children will immediately be able to sing right along. Children will be growling, snapping their claws, stomping their paws, and twitching their tails along with the monsters in the book. Those monsters are done in neon-bright colors against a black background, creating a very dynamic book for children to enjoy. I recommend finishing up with some black paper and bright colored scraps and letting the children create their own monsters to take home.
Completely child friendly, this book will have even the most reluctant listeners paying attention and playing along. Happily, the song takes more enthusiasm than skill, so everyone can join in and not have to worry. The Emberleys have created a book that fills a niche in story times, a monster book that is non-scary but not babyish. What a treat!
Appropriate for ages 2-4. Make sure to have this one in your trick-or-treat bag for fall!
You can listen to the song here.

A rocky terrain, a little girl running; Along the cliff, views were stunning.
Happy she was, some time ago; Her island home, Madeira Archipelago.
Born in the town of Ponta do Pargo; Far from the port where ships brought cargo.
Life was simple, but she was home; Climbing and exploring, she would roam.
Folklore music, she would dance; "Balinho da Madeira", they would chant.
Espatada on the fire; So much food to her heart's desire.
Cobblestone streets where she would play; Returning home at the end of each day.
Then one day her parents said; The land of opportunities lay ahead.
She recalls the bumpy plane; That took her away and brought her pain.
Arriving in the Land Down Under; Long hot summers and crackin' of thunder.
The land was flat and strangers around; Her sun-kissed skin, bare feet on the ground.
As she grew her memories faded; Thinking of Madeira, but never feeling jaded.

December 3rd, 2015, 22:35 Posted By: wraggsterA team of researchers at Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, has adapted a gaming system to help radiographers improve the quality of X-rays. The technology, originally developed for Microsoft Kinect, has been amended to provide a useful tool for measuring the thickness of body parts and monitor movement and positioning in the X-ray field of vision before imaging. The goal of the technology is to aid in the production of high-quality X-rays at low radiation, without the need to repeat the image. Although the technology is expected to benefit all patients, the researchers believe it could be particularly practical for use in children who are much more sensitive to radiation and vary in body size, from premature babies through to teens.

Aptec regroups its operations and relocates to new DIC headquarters
Regional distributor Aptec has restructured its operations, bringing together its subsidiaries from four different locations to one facility — the new headquarters it has established in Dubai Internet City (DIC).
Ali Baghdadi, Aptec CEO and president, said the firm planned to move into its new premises early this month after postponing its original moving date of September 28 because of delays with installation of cabling at the new site.
The new custom-built DIC facility will house all four Aptec subsidiaries: Aptec Distribution, Advanced Technology Services (ATS), Aptec Kiosk Services (AKS) and mobile distribution joint venture Brightec.
Previously, the subsidiaries in Dubai operated out of different locations.
In a statement, Baghdadi commented: "Establishing in DIC is a strategic move that enables us to be part of a vibrant community of global and regional ICT companies. The DIC community is rich with channel development opportunities and offers the ideal platform for expanding our growth both in the Middle East and the other markets we target."
Channel reaction to Aptec's decision to move to DIC has so far been mixed. The new location does underline Aptec's credentials as a regional player and increase its ability to interact with key vendors, but it also
distances it from the local IT trading community on Computer Street in Dubai, a group with which Aptec has always enjoyed good relations.
Major Dubai distribution houses including Redington, Almasa, Tech Data, FDC, Comtronix, Logicom and Golden Systems all still maintain points of presence close to Computer Street. Other distributors already working out of DIC include Mindware and Asbis plus a string of specialist value-added distributors.
Aptec currently has more than 400 staff across 40 countries in the region. Its product portfolio includes Acer, IBM, Lenovo, HP, 3Com, CA, Microsoft, Symantec, McAfee and Sun.


text: Are Electronic Wills Coming To The UK? Posted Dec 05, 2019. As with many business and cultural ideas and developments, electronic wills – or E-Wills for short – may soon be appearing in the UK following recent legislative changes across the pond in the USA. In July this year the US passed the Uniform Electronic Wills Act, which for the first time means that in certain States, a will can be made, signed, witnessed and executed without needing to be in the actual presence of a physical person. In the UK, the legal profession has been bound by the 1837 Wills Act which is firmly based on hard copy, paper documents, face to face meetings and physical, 'ink on paper' signatures. Of course, this legislation does not take into account modern methods of communication, agreement and secure data storage, so will UK law makers permit E-Wills anytime soon? It seems that wills and probate experts have mixed feelings about E-Wills, with one of the main concerns centred around the essential requirement for a will to be executed properly and in line with the deceased's wishes. There are also concerns that removing the need to have a physical, witnessed signatures on a will may unintentionally open up a legal can or worms should the will be contested. At present, testators and beneficiaries are protected by over 200 years of well-established case law that may well prove irrelevant if an E-Will is challenged. The Legal Professions View In commenting on the subject of E-Wills in the UK, a spokesperson for Stevensons Solicitors Wills and Probate department said: "I do think the UK will eventually follow suit, though not in the near future. I suspect that the Law Commission's concerns boil down to such a system being largely untested and I believe they will have a close eye on how the system works in the US. I am confident that the technology that could be implemented will be more secure than hand-written Wills. I think we could also see a move towards a witness or witnesses playing a role similar to that of a certificate provider in a Lasting Power of Attorney and that the witness will have to certify certain statements about the testator before they sign… I think we will likely find that compulsory Will registration will be introduced first, similar to the French FCDDV or Spanish Registro de Actos de Última Voluntad. I believe such a system, whether the Wills are in paper or electronic format, could require individuals to sufficiently prove their identity and could require a suitably qualified professional to prepare the same. This would remove a lot of the issues with home-made Wills and uncertainty in probate cases and ought to ease the burden on HMCTS created by disputes surrounding home-made Wills. Savings made in this regard could be passed onto executors making probate applications and a reduced fee offered compared to the fee for letters of administration application, thus incentivising more adults to make a Will."

Arsenal are bracing for the prospect of having to cash in on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before the end of the summer transfer window.
Boss Arsene Wenger has made a final new-contract offer to the England winger worth £180,000 a week, but Oxlade-Chamberlain is likely to turn it down.
The Gunners would then move to offload him, rather than let the 24-year-old go on a free next summer.
Champions Chelsea lead the chase and appear in pole position.
They are ready to make a £35million offer to try to get him before the window shuts at 11pm next Thursday.
But Liverpool remain interested having booked their place in the Champions League's group stage, and it is likely to become a bidding war between the two Premier League giants.
The Gunners face the Reds at Anfield on Sunday, and it remains to be seen whether Wenger will pick him.
Oxlade-Chamberlain had previously made it clear he will not sign a new deal and that it is not about the money, but wanting to develop his career — particularly with England in mind.
Arsenal have gone all out in their attempts to keep him but it still might not be enough and they now face losing the player they signed from Southampton for £15m in 2011.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been a regular for club and country and, despite injuries, has enjoyed an impressive 2017.
However, the north Londoners left it late to start negotiations in earnest, allowing him to go into the final year of his contract.
They do not want to lose all three of the Englishman, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, who are all scheduled to be out of contract next summer, on frees.
Although the club's stance remains strong on Sanchez — they will resist any late bids, with Manchester City expected to come in before the deadline — it would appear Oxlade-Chamberlain will be the one sold.

Ever since he became an Eagle Scout at the age of 14, Devin Pendas, an associate professor within the history department, knew he wanted to be a history professor. Perhaps these early inclinations derived from his mother, who was pursuing a graduate degree in history during his early childhood and, rather than tell typical bedtime stories, would read selections from her history books to then-8-year-old Pendas.
"I was doomed from the beginning," he joked. Today, Pendas specializes in modern Europe; German history; the history of war and genocide; the history of war crimes trials after World War II; legal history; and the history of human rights.
Born in Colorado, Pendas moved around often until age 8 due to his mother's graduate studies, living in places such as London, San Francisco, New York, and both Tubingen and Frankfurt, Germany. From age nine on, however, he spent the remainder of his youth in Colorado Springs, Colo.
For his undergraduate education, Pendas traveled to the Midwest to attend Carleton College in Northfield, Minn. In 1986, he studied abroad in East Berlin when East and West Germany were separated during the Cold War. "It was an incredibly interesting time to be there, obviously," Pendas said.
When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, he had been in Paris-his mother married a French man and had moved there-but was hesitant to travel to Germany with his friends for the barrier's destruction and the ensuing celebrations. "Nobody saw it coming, the reunification, and all the sudden, boom, there it was." Pendas considers his apprehension one of his "biggest regrets"-"There are times in life when you shouldn't be that practical," he said.
After graduating from Carleton in 1989 with a bachelor's degree in history, Pendas continued with his education at the University of Chicago for his graduate and doctoral studies, obtaining his M.A. in 1993 and his Ph.D. in 2000.
Subsequently, he worked for three years at the University of Chicago as an assistant professor of social sciences and a Schmidt Fellow in the Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts. From 2001 to 2003, he served as an associated faculty member, instructing two core classes on social theory within the history department: Wealth, Power, and Virtue, and Power, Identity, and Resistance.
Following his postdoctoral fellowship in Chicago, he moved to the East Coast and came to BC in 2003 amid much excitement in his family life.
"I'll never forget-my daughter was just two weeks old," Pendas said. At BC, he offers German and international history classes, including a year-long introduction to German history; a class on Nazism and the Nazi Regime; Human Rights as History; War and Genocide; and War Crimes Trials, a course that examines trials following WWII-such as Nuremberg, Eichmann in Jerusalem, the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
At present, Pendas teaches the history core and Human Rights as History-one of his favorite courses to instruct.
"It's a really tricky issue-it gets very complicated very fast, which makes it intellectually very interesting," he said. "I really like teaching that class and the Third Reich class, and I think the students get a lot out of those courses." Since 2008, he has also served as a faculty affiliate and co-chair of the German Study Group at the Center for European studies at Harvard University.
Alongside teaching, Pendas is currently working on Law, Democracy, and Transitional Justice in Germany, 1945-1950, a book to be published by Cambridge University Press that provides a history of trials for Nazi crimes conducted strictly in German courts, which he hopes to finish by the end of this summer. Additionally, he is researching and constructing a synthetic account of law and mass violence within the modern period.
Fluent in German and competent in French, Pendas also travels abroad for his work and research. This past fall, he spent time in Germany for a series of TV and radio interviews. "It was an interesting test of how good my German was," he said.
About his initial interest in and experience at BC, "Well, within the academics job market, it was where I was offered a position, and I was very grateful for that," Pendas said. "Especially for humanities faculty, there aren't often many competing opportunities. When I was searching for employment, it was the best job in the country that year for German historians.
"In addition, while I was in grad school, I knew I wanted to teach at a research university dedicated to undergraduate education-BC is one of the very small number of schools that fits that category almost exactly, with such a focus on research and undergrads. I love it."

Jonathon Blank served our country as a marine in Afghanistan and paid a very dear price with both of his legs.
At just 32-years-old, Jonathon was now on a very hard and long road to recovery that was certainly going to be anything but easy. Not only was the emotional toll an extreme one, but to add to that, the medical and rehabilitation costs were exorbitant.
Thankfully for this heroic marine, Gary Sinise the beloved Forrest Gump actor reached out to Jonathon wanting to help. Gary Sinise is well-known for his compassion, kindness, and philanthropy and his foundation – Gary Sinise Foundation – wanted to help take some of the burdens off of Jonathon.
The Gary Sinise Foundation told Jonathon that they would like to build and gift him a custom-made home.

Honored to be here at Hunter Army Airfield today for @garysinisefoundation Serving Heroes Program, and later at Ft Stewart for a LT Dan Band Concert. My first trip to these bases was 16 years ago, back in Sept 2003, visiting the Army Rangers. Good to be back. #throwback #flashbackfriday
After receiving the news, Jonathon told a local news station that this amazing gift has made the "next phase of life much easier."
"It's such an incredible gift," he continued. "Even some of those tough guys, when they found out about this, they got pretty emotional about it."
Jonathon's journey began with the Marin Corps when he joined in 2006 after graduating high school. It was four years later that he would serve in Afghanistan and lose both of his legs in a blast that also left shrapnel injuries to his head and arms.
To this day, Jonathon still suffers from chronic pain, insomnia, migraines, and more.

"The world is not meant for people with disabilities," he said. "It's just a hard truth and that's something that I've dealt with every day since I was injured."
Sinise who plays a disabled vet Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump has already built nearly 60 homes for wounded veterans through the Gary Sinise Foundation. Jorgenson Builders constructs the homes through the foundation and are very much looking forward to Jonathon's custom-build project.
"We really have to be thinking about how they are going to access each of the levels of the house," Jorgenson said.
His new custom-made home will be completely energy-efficient, have remote-controlled light fixtures and shades, and voice-activated technology around the home – specifically in the kitchen.
Brittney Harris, Jonathon's girlfriend is ecstatic to see the improvement the home makes on his life.
"He's dragging, hauling all his stuff up and down the stairs all the time," she said. "Nothing slows him down, but just to imagine cupboards that he can pull down and reach rather than having to jump up there — it's going to be such a huge difference for him."

The beginning of another favorite season of mine lol 😈🍽🦌🦃🐏🍴😈#tastytreats #hunting #hunt #foodhunter #0317 #marinesniper #marinerecon #reconmarine I recently had a good time with great friends @tgodfrey155 @gavgodfrey @natty0317 @ethansmall0321 @trey0317 Met another awesome recon marine and a few badass marine snipers! Thanks to nux4life for a great reunion and all the long piggy back rides 😂#realfriends #friendship
He and his girlfriend currently live in a 3-bedroom home and even though their new home will most likely need to be two-levels due to the topography of where they live, Jorgeson is going to be sure to install a lift to make it easy for Jonathon to go from one floor to another. Jonathon has made it a point to be a part of the planning of the home as much as possible.
"Honestly, I didn't really know that I would be so involved with the planning and the layout of the building," he said
Jonathon and his girlfriend couldn't be more grateful for the generous gift that the Gary Sinise Foundation has given them and we hope the house brings them so much joy.
Thank you for your service, Jonathon!

#8 Joyful Transformation 2019
Joy in the World
The Month for Joyful Transformation
October 8 – November 16
"Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself."
― Rumi
These days are turning-of-the-world days, stretching into a new season.
So it is with our lives. Every day a turning day, expanding into change.
Offering praise to the splendor of this month makes the idea of Joyful Transformation possible. We let joy do the work of changing us, transforming our lives into songs of praise to the world that is, the life that is ours. No matter what else is happening.
And we invite visions of a world that can be. We take action to bring that world into being. Dedicating each action, tiny or tremendous, local or global, as an act of love and praise for the Earth and all Her children transforms us. Joyfully.
A Joy Practice:
As we wash the dishes, fold the clothes, attend town meetings, donate money, smile at the neighbor (and her barking dog), sign petitions, go about the business of living productively – we do it mindfully, as an act of caring, of loving kindness. By cherishing all things as gifts from the Earth, we cherish Her. By cherishing Her mindfully with gratitude and praise, we transform ourselves.
Joy in the World
And in me.
Buy the calendar:
The Lady's Year for Joy

Everyday when I open up one of my favorite news sources I become more and more appalled by the liberal dreck, feminists, religious nonsense, the ludicrous, relatively new idea that gender is now a choice (all 58 of them) and whatever other bullshit du jour the mentally ill "journalists" that pervade the mainstream media are pushing. What I read frequently makes me question the sanity of what must be nearing, if not surpassing, a majority of the population living in the western world.
At first the loons trying to hijack western culture used to infuriate me. I wanted to nothing more than to hurl invectives and vitriol at them, but eventually I began to realize, this doesn't really bother them. In fact, the canker blossoms that dream this shit up want nothing more than to receive negative attention because it allows them to support their twisted world views via dismissal of valid critics as racists, homophobes, bigots, "transphobes", fat shamers, body shamers or whatever other claptrap terminology they've dreamed up this week. They thrive on negative attention, they bask in it.
On the other hand nothing seems to piss off social justice warriors more than calmly, quickly and quietly dismissing their child like temper tantrums as the inanity that it is. It does not seem long ago that satirical publications, such as The Onion, were the primary if not sole source of such absurdities but nowadays I find myself wondering multiple times per day,
In light of this recognition I would like to make a proposal: If you are one of the remaining few who still believe in basic concepts like freedom of speech, freedom of association, private property and self-ownership (or self-sovereignty) let's band together and make a concerted effort to dismiss more of these rantings with a a gentle shake of our heads and a lighthearted chuckle rather a serious response of any kind at all. I don't deny the need to counter some of these deranged ramblings, propaganda and disinformation but the volumes have become far too great to address all of them individually even if anyone so desired. What better way to dismiss this nonsense than to label it nothing more than a satirical joke?
Please join me in using the hastag #ICBINTO ("I can't believe it's not The Onion") to label more of whatever offends your basic human sensibilities on your favorite social media channel(s). Let's see if we can't possibly drown out some of this shit storm with laughter and ridicule rather than thoughtful analysis and hateful insults.

I used to be one of those sheep who believed the media when they said fat is bad for you, fat makes you fat, blah blah blah. Do you remember life before low-fat, "reduced" fat or fat-free food products crowded the shelves? I do. And I remember when i started noticing the fat-molested products. Since they were placed so boldly on the shelves, there must've been something to the whole FAT IS BAD thing, right? If that were true, why did Americans continue to gain weight after the onslaught of lowered-fat foods? Why is obesity an epidemic in America?
It's CARBS people, for cripes' sake!
I know this is a hard concept. It requires de-sheeping your brain, but come on, say it with me:
And if you're a chronic overeater, you're going to be fat anyway, unless you're somehow working out enough to keep it all off (unlikely).
LOWFAT FOODS ARE NOT SATISFYING, so what will you do? That's right, EAT MORE. GAH!
This is me. I eat A LOT of fat (way more fat than protein or carbs). I eat adequate protein. I eat very few carbs. Let me reiterate. I EAT A LOT OF FAT! Yes, it's healthy fat, from avocados, cheese, WHOLE milk cheese and cottage cheese...NOT low-fat crap. I. Eat. A. Lot. Of. Fat. I just want you to understand it. I really do.
Watch what this doctor/researcher is saying. He's onto something! I think he's still got some things to figure out, but he's sure got sugar in the bag!

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
The brainchild of four popular Brisbane personalities, Brisbane market guru Peter Hackworth, TV producer John Stainton, retail entrepreneur John Harrison, and veteran TV personality Jacki MacDonald, the Eat Street Markets are situated down by the river at Hamilton's North Shore within 80 colourful shipping containers selling street food, cocktails, arts and crafts, clothes and other quirky trinkets. On Friday and Saturday nights fairy lights shine down on alleyways of global food, pop-up bars and live music. Among the Eat Street stars are Japanese pizza from Okonomi House, local seafood like Samie's Girl oysters, Banneton's wood-fired pizza, and Korean fusion burgers. Sundays are for hoovering up collectibles and curios – seek out some herbal soaps, or the recycled metal sculptures from Tanzania by Heather's Artz. Crucially for visitors, there is plenty of free parking nearby and the markets themselves are within touching distance of the Northshore Hamilton ferry terminal.
Opening hours: Fri-Sat 4pm–10pm; Sun 10am–3pm
Address: Macarthur Ave, Brisbane QLD, Australia, +61 7 3358 2500
Nestled within the warehouse, factories and outdoor garages of the former Peter's Ice Cream Factory, now the Absoe site, these varied markets are one of the hippest scenes in Brisbane. On Saturdays and Sundays in the daytime, stalls offer vintage and future fashion, pop-up cafés like the West End Tea Company, and global artisan foods. Conversely, the Friday night markets become an intimate party scene featuring art installations, a barber shop and a live music bill in The Motor Room. Refreshments can also be purchased from the bar inside one of the shipping containers.
Opening hours: Sat-Sun 9am – 3pm
Address: 91 Boundary St, West End QLD, Australia, +61 418 739 136
For only two days every July the historic Old Museum plays host to this mini festival of art, fashion, food and music. 85 talented artists and designers will be displaying their various wares, from jewellery to design objects and clothes, in individually curated stalls. Outside on the lawns, coffee and food are amply provided for gastronomic accompaniment to live grassroots musical acts playing over the weekend. Creative doyennes of the future appearing with stalls include Into The Fold and A Boy Named Aaron, while established favourites, such as Honey and Heid and Winnifred's Daughter, frequently return.
Opening hours: Nov 7 10am-6pm, Nov 8 10am-4pm

Brisbane market maverick Jan Powers has franchised out her community style farmer's markets to locations in the City, Manley, Michelton and here in New Farm Park under the auspices of Brisbane's old power station. Food is the star attraction at this market, and at the Powerhouse you can beat the supermarkets at their game by buying similarly-priced, higher quality goods, all of them grown, picked, caught, handcrafted or sourced by the sellers. The dedication and passion of the sellers themselves is also part of the draw, with many of them waking up at 2.30am to set up their stalls. If you only have ten minutes to look around, get there early for a delicious breakfast sandwich prepared by celebrity chef Alistair McLeod at his own stall.
Opening hours: Sat 6am-12pm
Address: Brisbane Powerhouse, 119 Lamington St, New Farm, QLD, Australia, +61 7 3358 8600
Take shelter in the art deco halls of Brisbane City Hall to reap the rewards of the Saturday morning lifestyle markets. On sale are the eco-friendly, the handmade and the downright fabulous, from fashion, jewellery and accessories to children's wear, gifts and decorative home décor pieces. The bright lights of the indie music scene provide the soundtrack from the Sandgate courtyard, and those who left their purses at home can simply bask in the surroundings of the adjacent Shingle Inn, whose high-ceilinged chambers and reception rooms with Georgian windows and marble trim are an architectural wonder of the city.
Opening hours: second Sat of the month, 9am – 3pm
Address: 64 Brisbane City Hall, 64 Adelaide St, Brisbane QLD, Australia

Brimstone sells Clover consortium shares to BEE entity
Investment holding company Brimstone has found a replacement BEE investor for its 15% stake in Clover, SA's biggest dairy producer.
Brimstone was due to participate in a consortium, which in early February announced a R4.8bn offer to acquire 100% of Clover.
Milk products are seen in a Clover factory. Brimstone has found a replacement BEE investor for its share in Clover. Picture: FINANCIAL MAIL
However it caved in to pressure from pro-Palestine activist group Boycott Divestment Sanctions SA (BDSA) who opposed the deal because the consortium was led by Tel Aviv-based Central Bottling Company.
After the proposed deal was announced BDSA threatened to instigate a boycott of Clover. The organisation said there would be "direct action and a militant but peaceful campaign" if the transaction proceeded.
Shortly afterwards Brimstone indicated it would pull out of the transaction, saying it had noted "widespread outrage" over its proposed participation in the deal.
At the end of April the Cape-based BEE group formally announced it was withdrawing from the transaction. It was given until December 31 to secure a replacement BEE investor or it would have to sell its 15% to International Beer Breweries, a subsidiary of Central Bottling Company.
On Friday, Brimstone announced that BEEMilk — an entity representing a consortium of investors comprising Khulasande Capital, Global Capital Empowerment Fund and Ubisi Noju — would be replacing Brimstone in the Clover consortium.
Limited information on the members of BEEMilk is available, but Khulasande and Global Capital Empowerment Fund appear to have links with Investec. Fani Titi, joint CEO of Investec, is part of Khulasande's "team", as is former Investec CEO Stephen Koseff. Investec is a 25% shareholder in Global Capital Empowerment Fund.
Brimstone said the aborted bid to become a significant shareholder in Clover cost it R62.3m, equivalent to 25.7c a Brimstone share.
Brimstone's announcement comes a week after the Competition Commission said it had recommended to the Competition Tribunal that the proposed takeover of Clover by Milco be approved with conditions.
The conditions include the requirement for "the merging parties to procure juice concentrate from their current local suppliers for a certain period on reasonably the same terms and conditions as prior to the merger".
The commission's announcement caused the Clover share price to perk up to R23.50, its highest level since the February announcement. On Friday it closed unchanged at R22.90.
Independent analyst Anthony Clark said the share price had been hit by the uncertainty around the deal and that it had offered a good opportunity to buy the shares ahead of the deal, which he is convinced will go ahead.

With rising fuel prices and the desire to want to cut down on your environmental impact, purchasing a new furnace or air conditioner may seem counter intuitive, but it can actually help you save money on fuel while also allowing you to help the environment.
Variable Speed Fans
capacity 98% efficient furnaces will in many cases give you a reduction as much as one third on the gas consumption but the big surprise is the electrical efficiency on the new variable speed fan motors they use less power than a 75 W light bulb. A typical home will cost about half a penny per hour for continuous low-speed fan operation that's only $.12 a day, less than four dollars per month for continuous fan operation. The benefits of the continuous fans are far more even temperatures throughout the entire home. Installing an air cleaner on the new furnace will mean continuous air cleaning of the air, removing many of the pollutants and undesirable particulates, pollens from the air that aggravate many people with allergies.
Producing Less Summer Heat
A Positive Impact
So when looking at new systems furnaces will be rated in BTUs, power and efficient, how much heat you keep. Air conditioners are rated in tonnage for capacity and SEER for efficiency. Your new heating and air conditioning will easily pay for themselves over time and you will immediately have a positive impact on the environment. The added cost of the better systems over entry-level standard efficiencies is usually recovered in a year or two so much value is returned to you.

Today, students from the Hillside Center helped us conduct a lake profile just north of Taughannock State Park. They did a great job, and we observed a swarm of millions of spiny water fleas for the first time this year! These tiny, invasive, creatures can really clog up fishing gear... they also are feared to be at the heart of very serious ecological changes taking place in the Great Lakes Basin. We need to learn more about their impact on Cayuga.
We also observe quite a few paramecium in 5-10 meters of water off the west shore. Here's what they looked like...http://www.flickr.com/photos/fpelectronica/3588662939/

Susie Wolff Hungry to Earn a Place in Formula One
GRANOLLERS, Spain (AP) — Susie Wolff is sure that she is good enough to start a Formula One race, even if her chances are slim.
The 32-year-old British driver, who is a development driver for Williams this season, placed 14th in Friday's first practice session at the Spanish Grand Prix.
She will also do one day of post-race testing following next month's Austrian GP and will run in the first practice at the British GP in July.
Wolff says "I 100 percent feel that a woman can compete at this level."
Still, with Adrian Sutil ahead of her as Williams' reserve driver, Wolff knows she has a tough task ahead before becoming the first female racer to compete in a race since Lella Lombardi in 1976.

A moderate earthquake magnitude 5.5 (ml/mb) strikes 245 km NE of Raoul Island, New Zealand (152 miles) on Friday. Exact location of event, longitude -176.2526 West, latitude -27.598 South, depth = 10 km.
The 5.5-magnitude earthquake has occurred at 05:53:33 / 5:53 am (local time epicenter).
Although Raoul is the only island in the Kermadec group large enough to support settlement, it lacks a safe harbour, and landings from small boats can only be made in calm weather. The island consists of two mountainous areas, one with summits of 516 metres (1,693 ft) and 498 metres (1,634 ft), and the other with a summit of 465 metres (1,526 ft), the two separated by a depression which is the caldera of the Raoul volcano.
Considering offshore islets and rocks, the northernmost island of New Zealand is Nugent Island, about 100 metres (328 ft) in diameter, located 3.6 km (2.2 mi) northeast of Raoul Island. The coordinates of the northernmost point are 29°13′52″S 177°52′09″W. Napier Island stretches almost as far north as Nugent Island, which reaches just a few metres further north.

text: The Spy Who Dumped Me was one of the big winners at the E! People's Choice Awards tonight. The hit film took home the award for Comedy Movie of 2018. The fans couldn't get enough of the laugh out loud comedy and we don't blame them at all. The Spy Who Dumped Me, starring Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon, tells the story of two best friends who accidentally become involved with an international conspiracy when one of the women figures out that her ex-boyfriend was a spy. Kunis took the stage to accept the award from Will Farrell and John C. Reilly and thanked the fans of course. "Guys, this is actually really cool. Thank you! We loved working on the film and are so, so happy you guys responded to it," Kunis gushed on stage. "Thank you for taking the time to vote." Kunis also took time during her acceptance speech to encourage fans to support people in need after the California wildfires. The Spy Who Dumped Me beat out Blockers, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, Crazy Rich Asians and Love, Simon to win Comedy Movie of 2018 at the People's Choice Awards. It was such a pleasure working with the post production team and we are so happy for the movie's success!

Empathy helps you understand what a prospective donor is feeling.
Perspective helps you understand why they are feeling it.
Which one do you need in order to be a successful fundraiser?
Empathy keeps relationships on track.
Empathy helps you remember that your supporter lives on the west coast while you are on Eastern time. Thanks to your empathy you'll avoid calling her when you first get to the office at 8 am (5 am for her). In that case empathy is a very good thing to have.
Perspective is more intellectual.
With perspective you can understand your supporters' viewpoints, needs, desires, goals and aspirations. If the need is urgent and you know that the supporter has been waiting for an opportunity to fund (for example) an airlift to rescue dozens of refugees in a far off land, then you will call and awaken her at 5 am. Your perspective assures you that the donor will be happy you did.
What do you think? Is one better than the other?
Greg, you've asked, "Empathy v. Perspective … Which one is better?" It's either a trick question or a silly one. In your post, you answered it appropriately: "Both." At times, one might be more important than the other. However, both qualities (or are they skills?) are essential to successful fundraising.
Both are essential! One without the other won't get you where you want to be — in their hearts and in their minds and plans!!

POSTING GUIDELINES and ADVICE FOR NEW MEMBERS
2. Would a viable compromise be moving first, or solidifying all of the logistical plans and then signing?(My small business is only 4 years old and I'm still struggling. This is a critical phase of my life and if I'm going to do it, I need to do it soon. I wouldn't sign light-heartedly but the longer I grow my business, the more anchored I become here. If I'm going to start all over again, I had better do it soon, and I'm not about to let all of my plans rest in the hands of some abstract 15,000 people! Is there a happy medium?)Fitz

text: 'Physician heal thyself' may be impossible task for a psychiatry profession in crisis. "In Britain, where eugenics started, the main focus was on social class, but this shifted to a racial emphasis elsewhere. Today's psychiatry has strong eugenic roots in this 19th-century political philosophy. Its current obsession with genetics maintains that tradition."

Paperdoll playtime! I love the Julie Nutting stamps, imagine how much fun we would have had as children creating these.
I have stamped the image on a variety of (mostly) Martha Stewart Valentine papers, cut them out and pushed the pieces around to find the mix I liked. I prefer to use a light pattern for the face and arms otherwise I am tempted to draw in a face..not always with great results LOL I used bits and pieces from my Valentine stash to create the background and embellishments. I have built this tag on a 3.5 x 8.5 inch background.
Check out Julie Nutting on YouTube!
Note: I am entering Natalie and Amy Challenges "Love Is All Around"
5 comments:
absolutely adorable, Sandi! filling up the background is always a challenge, with the doll being so large. Your total composition is "fabby".ReplyDelete
I see you're still at it too Sandi! I do believe we are valentine possessed! Really cute!ReplyDelete
This looks amazingReplyDelete
Very Sweet and I adore Julie's paper dolls. Valentine Bliss...ReplyDelete
