"A Debilitating Accident Taught Me Self-Love, How To Embrace Change And Give Back"
I spent most of my life partying too much, with my priorities all wrong... until I had a life-changing accident.
One random day Nina Van Der Heever's life changed forever. Here, in her own words, how this carefree party girl ended up in a coma – and how her priorities radically changed when she came out of it.
The Accident
As the result of leaving my keys in a friend's car and not being able to get into my apartment, I climbed down from the third story to get into my bedroom window on the second floor. I slipped and plummeted to the ground. I was left with a broken arm, broken ribs, torn spleen and an open wound to my head. I went into a coma.

A New Life After The Coma
As a personal trainer, I couldn't work for over four months. Spending that amount of time in your own head is challenging, but it also reveals many underlying issues you might not have dealt with. It brought along perspective and a sense of knowing. Once my body had healed enough for me to go back to work, my drive and ambition were stronger than ever before. My daily mantra was and still is: "I can and I will!"
After doubling my earnings and kick-starting my personal training business again, I could feel my body wasn't the same. I had to sacrifice running and many other activities. But, being an extremely active person, I was determined to find an alternative… Swimming!
It was hard to accept that I was starting from scratch and would be sweeping the rear end of every race, but water has always been very healing and my go-to place for relaxation.
I'm also a competitive free diver and the ocean is my second home. I needed a goal to work towards and a challenge to push me out of my comfort zone again… Enter the Robben Island crossing.

The Robben Island Crossing
The notorious Robben Island crossing is an open water swim from Robben Island to Blouberg Beach – a distance of 7.5km in icy water with infamous currents and abundant wildlife. This will be my maiden voyage of the challenge, considered the "Everest" to most open water swimmers in South Africa.

After my accident, the sense of gratitude at having an able body has been overwhelming. And to commemorate those who are not as privileged, I'm dedicating my swim to fund raise for those with multiple sclerosis in South Africa. As an organisation, Multiple Sclerosis South Africa assists patients with funds for their medication (which can cost more than R25 000 per month!), as well as wheelchairs and many other gifts to ease the financial burden of MS.
What Exactly Is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable and often disabling disease of the central nervous system, which interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person can't yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS.
READ MORE: This Is What You Need To Know About Multiple Sclerosis
The Robben Island Crossing fundraiser is fitting for MS because it takes place in May, which also happens to be the official MS Awareness Month (in both Europe and SA). Doing things greater than yourself, giving your time and opening your heart to others cultivates self-love. Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.
You can support Nina by donating to the cause and making her journey meaningful to her and many others.

French Senate Commission Calls for Prosecution of Benalla for 'False Testimony'
A high-profile case broke out in July 2018 after a video emerged capturing Alexandre Benalla in riot police gear tackling a young demonstrator to the ground and punching him repeatedly before fleeing.
The senatorial commission investigating the case of Alexandre Benalla has asked the Senate Bureau to take legal action against President Emmanuel Macron's former security aide for "false testimony".
According to a letter addressed to Senate President Gerard Larcher and seen by AFP, the commission believes that Benalla "assured the function of close protection of the head of state", despite his claims that he had not acted as the president's bodyguard.
The senators suggested there had been "major dysfunction" inside Macron's office and said they believed that Macron's security had been compromised.

Use numbers: when settlement isn't settling Mike and Karen are getting a divorce. In Karen's initial consultation, I discovered that they owned a $300,000 house with $100,000 in equity. They each had 401(k) accounts, earned entirely during the marriage, worth about $125,000 each. They had about $60,000 in savings, and $5,000 in their checking account. They had personal property, too, of course—TVs, computers, kitchen appliances, furniture, and so on. They also each owned cars—he a 2010 Toyota … [Read more...]
What's a separation agreement? (And why do I want one?)
When most attorneys talk about divorce, they give the impression that there are all sorts of different "types" of divorce—negotiation, collaboration, mediation, litigation—but the reality is that there are really only three real choices. You either (1) negotiate your divorce by signing a separation agreement and decide for yourself how your things will be divided, (2) litigate your divorce and let the judge decide, or (3) you agree on what you can and let the judge decide the rest. What … [Read more...]
How to divide personal property in divorce
Tension is normal when you and your husband are trying to decide how to divide up years and years of belongings. I usually tell my clients not to worry about personal possessions, but that's easier said than done. After all, these things are the things that surround you every day. In many ways, these things make up your life, and you grow attached to them over time—even if they are just things. In most cases, though, the things that you and your husband want are not the … [Read more...]
Dividing Marital Debt in Divorce
Marital debts, just like marital assets, are divided through equitable distribution. This means that property is divided between the parties based on what the court thinks is fair. Equitable distribution means that property can be divided 50/50, but that is not necessarily required. These days, we see a lot of divorces that are more about finding a way to divide the debt than dividing assets. Since the economy has been so bad, I've seen houses that are underwater, and significant … [Read more...]
How Separate Property is Divided in Divorce: Some Common Questions
Separate property is not divided equally in divorce. In fact, it's not divided at all. Marital property is defined as anything you earned or purchased during the marriage. Separate property, on the other hand, is property that either of you owned prior to your marriage, or anything that was given to you by gift or inheritance by anyone other than your husband. Let's run through some examples. The car you owned before you got married is still your car after your divorce. … [Read more...]
Dividing Personal Property in Divorce: Don't let a judge do it!
When you and your husband sit down to try to divide your personal property, it can feel like an epic power struggle. You feel very strongly that you should get to keep some thing or other but, unfortunately, he wants to keep it just as badly—or, at least, he wants to keep you from getting it at all. Drama ensues, and then your mind fixes on the garage full of fishing poles, golf clubs, and assorted power tools. You start to see dollar signs, and imagine how liberating it would be to … [Read more...]
How do judges decide how property will be divided in divorce?
You've probably heard that, in Virginia, the way property is divided is through "equitable distribution." This means that, when a judge makes a determination about who deserves to receive what, he is supposed to consider what is fair based on the negative and positive monetary and nonmonetary contributions each person made to the marriage. Normally, property is divided somewhere close to 50/50, but it doesn't have to be, particularly if one party made significant … [Read more...]
But I'm the Breadwinner: Divorce when the Wife Earns More Money
I see cases more and more frequently where the wives are earning more than their husbands. It makes sense, after all, because they say that more women graduate college and apply to law school than men. However, despite our creativity and general brilliance, we have significant biological disadvantages that make it more difficult for us to get a high-profile, high-paying job than our male counterparts. There is not equality of opportunity quite yet, but I do see more and more extremely … [Read more...]
When Property Division in Divorce is Complicated
Some property disputes are just plain more complicated than others. In Virginia, property division after divorce is handled by a statute. The way we do it is called "equitable distribution," which means, basically, that property is divided mostly 50/50, but that the judge has the freedom to listen to the evidence presented by the parties and make a final determination about what's "fair" under the circumstances. As you can probably imagine, 50/50 doesn't … [Read more...]
Protecting your Personal Property Before Divorce
When you and your husband decide to separate (or before, if you're a planner), it's a good idea to take an inventory of all your personal property. If you're worried about whether your husband might lose, sell, or destroy something valuable or precious of yours, it's an even better idea to move these items to a safe place until you know for sure how everything will be divided. You probably shouldn't get rid of or sell any of these items yourself, at least not … [Read more...]

EAST BRIDGEWATER — Cyberbullying, sexting, online predators and excessive screen time are just a few of the topics discussed at an East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School assembly for students grades 6 through 11 Wednesday morning.
"Recently there was a study of over a million students — eighth grade, 10th grade and 12th grade. And what they found is that over the years since 2011-2012, mental well-being has been on a steady decline. At the same time this was declining, cellphone use has been increasing," said speaker Robert Hackenson Jr. of Dynamic Influence.
Through Dynamic Influence, Hackenson travels across the United States to give presentations on internet safety and social media.
"We need to be able to start disconnecting. Right now they say youth between the ages of 8 to 18 spend about seven and a half hours per day on screen time. That's more than any other recreational activity," Hackenson said.
With a show of hands, the majority of students at the assembly indicated they spent at least two hours a day on their phones. In a year, that equates to a month of screen time annually.
That particular assembly was composed of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders.
"The reality is that what people post up online isn't necessarily the truth. It's not the whole picture. People post what they want you to see, not necessarily what's real," he said. "The problem is what you see up online, even though it's an illusion, it can still cause a real reaction — a real emotion."
With cyberbullying being an issue among adolescents resulting in depression and sometimes suicide, Hackenson spent a lot of the presentation discussing not only the effects of things posted online, but also the positive impact bystanders can have in such situations.
Hackenson referenced Martin Niemoller's "First they came for …"
"We're going to target these people and count on everybody else not saying anything. That's how it went," he said. "When the good see something happen and they remain silent, that's when evil wins. Again, I'm not asking you to change the world, but I am asking you to set the tone here.
"We also have to understand that what we post up online, we don't know how it's going to affect others. We don't know what they're dealing with at home," Hackenson said. "What you might see as not that big of a deal to them might be everything. Like Meghan."
Three weeks shy of her 14th birthday, Megan Meier committed suicide in 2006 after being cyberbullied on MySpace.
"She ended up taking her own life — a permanent solution for a temporary problem," he said. "If you ever hear anybody talk about this, tell somebody immediately. It's no joke."
Hackenson also addressed sexting and the permanence of the online culture, even when using private chats or deleted posts or photos.
"If you have a picture of a nude minor on your phone, that would be considered possession of child pornography. If you send it to someone, that is considered distribution of child pornography. There have been high school and middle school students that have been brought up on charges of possession, distribution and sometimes selling child pornography," he said.
"If you forget about everything else I've talked about so far, just remember this: the internet Miranda rights. What it all boils down to — anything you post up online, whether it's gonna be deleted or private, anything you post online can and will be used against you in the court of life. That's the truth."
Principal Brian Duffey concluded the presentation asking students to reach out to a trusted adult if a situation arises that they feel uncomfortable with, whether online or otherwise.
Hackenson will give another presentation for parents tonight.
"The biggest thing you can do as a parent is constant communication, setting some limits, having a separate charging location and leading by example. Because I think there's a lot of parents out there, too — and I was definitely one — you grab your device because it's there," Hackenson said.

Silver Price Forecast, January 22
We saw during Tuesday trading sessions that the silver markets pulled back just a bit, reaching towards the $15,20 mark. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level is in that area as well, having. As a result of a bit of bouncing effect.
Silver finds tremendous support underneath, extending all the way to at least the $15.00 level, it would just be a matter of waiting, to turn around and rally. If the asset breaks down below the $15.00 level, the tone of the market could change as it starts looking for support at lower levels.
It should continue to go higher on a longer term as the Federal Reserve is currently looking to sit on the sidelines, adding weigh on the US dollar longer-term and, if this is the case, then silver and other precious metals should get a bit off a boost.
At this point, traders will start looking to the $16.00 level above, and it wouldn't take too much to get into that level. Breaking above that level, it would allow the market to look towards the $1 level above and create a much more significant amount of resistance on longer-term charts.

How did we get here? That's complicated and quite frankly a waste of time, rather let's talk about how we get to competing for World Cups. We need massive change, but how does that happen and will it? "Change theory", first coined by the sociologist Kurt Lewin is the study of how people, groups, and organizations actually make real impactful change. It is fascinating and highly relatable to U.S. Soccer.
The Illusion of Dysfunction
How many of you know a couple in a dysfunctional relationship? They fight all the time, complain about one another, and in general seem miserable. How about a dysfunctional company? Maybe one in which stagnation reigns, talent turnover is high, and even simple projects are a total disaster. There are many organizations with horrible leadership, ill-defined culture, and even ruined finances, yet these entities seemingly operate as if all is well.
Despite what appears from the outside looking in as obvious systemic dysfunction with warning signs of impending failure, change does not happen. In fact, many times even the willingness to change is absent. The fighting couple continue to stay together; the poor performing company continues those same policies and procedures that lost money and alienated employees. Regardless of multiple warning signs, shockingly no action is taken; no leadership change is made, no new ideas, projects, or plans. Nothing seems to change, and the cycle goes round and round.
To understand why this is (and how is applies to USMNT and the World Cup – don't worry we'll get there) we must first begin by looking at what authors Ronald Heifetz, Alexander Garshow, and Marty Linsky in their book The Practice of Adaptive Leadership call "The Illusion of the Broken System". Any system (a family, a government, a business, a local pizza shop, or a national soccer federation) functions the way it does because it works for the people (typically the stake holders) in that particular system.
The dysfunctional couple have a relationship that works for them; the poorly run company works for the management team that is getting the large salaries and benefits, etc. From an outsider's perspective change needs to happen in order to fix "the broken system" however it isn't broken for the power players within it. Moreover, these people will very likely resist any changes (despite how bad something looks to any objective observer) because again the system is functioning very well for them.
Case in point: the aftermath of October 10th, 2017 and USMNT embarrassing loss to Trinidad and Tobago. Then United States manager Bruce Arena said, "There's nothing wrong with what we're doing" and "nothing has to change". He added, "To make any kind of crazy changes I think would be foolish" and also called missing the 2018 World Cup a "blemish". Current U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati was even more out of touch stating, "you don't make wholesale changes based on the ball being two inches wide or two inches in".
The system that is U.S. Soccer was working well for Bruce Arena and Sunil Gulati. The former has now coached the national team on two stints and although it is now somewhat tarnished has the reputation of taking the team farther in a World Cup then anyone. The latter is one of the most power people in all of soccer. You see if the important people like the current situation systemic change is unlikely.
Furthermore, change can be very difficult to get from within that particular "dysfunctional" system. Anyone within the system who addresses the "dysfunction" will instantly be unpopular with said leaders and thus jeopardize their own advancement. For example, if anyone within U.S. Soccer were to consistently point out to Sunil Gulati and others all the flaws in the federation, do you think they will be rewarded for their deed?
I have posted before about how complicated systems often lead to "normal accidents" and how this applies to the USMNT disaster of missing the World Cup. Complicated systems are also slow to change and a big reason for that is the dysfunction is functioning for the power players.
The Immovable Object
So when and how do dysfunctional organizations with power players who are comfortable within that system enact change? It usually takes an extreme event.
The American auto producers, the so called "Big Three" of General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford ignored the warnings of past oil shock crashes, global warming, and impending legacy costs (specifically healthcare) until they were forced to declare bankruptcy. Many people may forget that Apple nearly went out of business in the 90's and actually needed a $150-million-dollar investment from Microsoft (a rival) of all people to stay afloat. Both of these are examples of highly complex organizations whom had been "dysfunctional" for years ignoring signals that the ship was going down. Instead they allowed the system to work perfectly for them and got the same results over and over again. All because it functioned for the board, the executives, the middle managers, etc. It was only once these companies were nearly extinct that change occurred.
What warning signs did the U.S. Soccer Federation miss on the way to this meltdown? Here are a just a couple:
- Did not qualify for the 2012 Olympics (U-23)
- Did not qualify for the 2016 Olympics (U-23)
- Did not qualify for the 2011 U-20 World Cup
- Did not qualify for the 2013 U-17 World Cup
- Paid Jurgen Klinsmann $6.2 million dollars then had to fire him when we started so poorly in qualifying
- Had to rely on either 19 year olds or 30 year olds this cycle due lack of talent in players prime years
- November 18th, 2014 – Lost 4-1 to Ireland (FIFA Rank 32)
- October 11th, 2016 – Tied 1-1 to New Zealand (FIFA Rank 122)
- November 11th, 2016 – Lost 2-1 at home to Mexico (FIFA Rank 16)
- November 15th, 2016 – Lost 4-0 at home to Costa Rica (FIFA Rank 26)
- January 29th, 2017 – Tied 0-0 to Serbia (FIFA Rank 37)
- September 1st, 2017 – Lost 2-0 again to Costa Rica (FIFA Rank 26)
- Currently have only 23 players on European team rosters and lack of the top clubs in the world to consist of Americans
But remember even with these small warnings, the system was working for those in positions of power and leadership.
This is why I believe not qualifying for the world cup is the best thing to happen to U.S. Soccer; it can be our bankruptcy, our big moment to enact change. You see this isn't just losing in the Gold Cup or not qualifying for the Olympics or not developing enough good players or even getting beat by lesser opponents. Missing the 2018 World Cup, in this region, with the size and financial prowess of our country is the shot heard around the world, it is our nuclear bomb.
This is now a failure on the scale to actually make an impact.
We can use this horrible moment in U.S. Soccer history to improve the system. And it starts with the U.S. Soccer Presidential election in February. I plan on a full post reviewing the election but let me say that the new president must be someone outside of the current U.S. Soccer Federation, someone who has not functioned well in the current system and one who can actually make real change.

Five million people took part in protest marches across Nigeria on Sunday 2 February against the murder of Pastor Lawan Andimi by Boko Haram, and the failure of the authorities to halt the rising wave of violent attacks against Christians by Islamist extremists.
The peaceful demonstrations, organised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as the final event of a three-day fast, took place in 28 of the country's 36 states. Marchers carried posters that read "Nigerian Christians are under attack," "Buhari act now" and "Our values and way of life will prevail, the killings will not."
CAN president Samson Ayokunle said, "Though we have protested before, this event took a new dimension … With one voice we said 'no' to killings, 'no' to security negligence, and 'no' to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. It is a wake-up call to the government."
Pastor Andimi, who was a local chairman of CAN in Adamawa State, was murdered by Boko Haram on 20 January, after being kidnapped on 2 January. On the same day as Pastor Andimi's killing, the terrorist group released video footage of its murder of kidnapped student Ropvil Dalep. In Plateau State, at least 32 Christians were killed in January during attacks by Fulani extremists on two villages.

Donate $1 a month to my Patreon campaign, and have full access to my forthcoming release, Travel By Haiku: Still Trippin' Across the States. It's as easy as that!
Over the last year, I've gone on 3 separate poetry tours, traveled across about 35 of the 50 states in the US, been through a few dozen national parks, and met all sorts of incredible creators from around the world. I really couldn't have done it without the help of so many generous people on the road. It's been a fun time with life's typical ups and downs, and I've tried my best to take everyone else along for the ride, to share with them all the stories and all the magic I've encountered. I can say honestly, I have grown in so many ways, especially as a writer.
Travel is certainly tough, though. There's a lot of expenses from paying for gas to general upkeep on my car to camping fees and buying food. Beyond that, traveling for 3 month stretches means I don't have a regular income for that time and I'm mostly living off of my savings. I'm far from starving, and I think I've almost got this traveling thing figured out as far as being efficient and living on the cheap and busking when I need to pick up some extra gas money. But every little bit really goes a long way.
If you like what I have been up to over this past year, and you're looking for a way to contribute, you could help by becoming a patron to my poetry. For only $1 a month you will have unlimited access to various pieces of my work before they are made available elsewhere. This includes travel stories, haikus from the Travel By Haiku series, photography, and more. Like any crowdsourcing campaign there are bigger rewards the more you donate, so follow the link below and pick what suits you best: https://www.patreon.com/marshalljameskavanaugh
Thank you, everyone, for so many great experiences in 2015. I've had so many opportunities to meditate on gratitude towards all. In 2016 I hope the year brings even more in the shape of abundance for all of us.
Much Love,
Marshall James Kavanaugh

Trent Boult has made the things even worse for Sri Lanka with his sizzling display of top-class fast-bowling in the ongoing second and final Test in Christchurch on Wednesday (December 26).
Boult made the most of the Hagley Ovals green pitch, where the conditions were perfect for the kind of searing and surprising late swing in which the pacer is specialist, by taking 6 scalps, as his spell was one of his finest in his career, conceding only 30 runs in given 15 overs to help the Black Caps to bowl Lanka out for 104 in the first innings to gain a lead in the match despite being all out for 178 here.
On being asked about his magical spell on Thursday, Boult said it is all about rhythm and getting into a groove and he is happy that way hosts put Lanka under pressure with their brilliant pace attack.
After day's play, Boult told media, "It's all about rhythm - for me anyway. It's about getting into a groove. A couple of wickets gives you a bit of confidence and just lets you go about your thing. Sometimes you're not really thinking about much and it's kind of happening for you. The plans were simple this morning. It was about building pressure on the guys and it was nice to exploit a bit of their weaknesses with some swing bowling. I was just trying to pitch the ball up really."
The 29-year-old signed off by saying, "It's a funny old game really - it's probably not how I expected it to happen this morning. I suppose it can be easy to get frustrated a little bit, trying to figure out why things aren't happening. I suppose with a little bit more experience - I'm getting old now - I'm realizing it can be a funny game, and it's probably about turning up with the right attitude and trying to put the ball in the right areas. I was just lucky enough to get a bit of reward."
At the moment, New Zealand is leading by 305 runs with the loss of two wickets against Sri Lanka at the stump at the Hagley Ovals on Thursday.

The light bulb greatly changed the world by helping with the development of other inventions and in many ways that continue to affect how our we live. Long ago using natural sources, for example, candles, lamps, and firewood were common ways of illuminating dark places. Billions of people have got accustomed to the convenience of the lightbulb that they couldn't imagine a life without it.
Ever since its invention in the late 1800's a lot has changed in our society. Back then, other than using sunlight, torches, and anything that could hold fire was used for light. ("A Brief History of Lighting" n.d) When the invention of the lightbulb was complete, it was instantly found in many homes far and wide. The lightbulb brought many new opportunities and new innovations that have changed the way that individuals had been living. The light bulb also brought other benefits besides light at night such as growth in jobs, products and economic growth. (Kalinowski, n.d.)
Today, the lightbulb is available in various sizes, shapes, and watts. You can use them for different needs from illuminating a room to decorations to driving at night. The light bulb also has played an imperative part in the advancement of different sorts of items fundamental for living, for example, headlights for vehicles, flashlights, and medical devices. The price of a light bulb is also fairly reasonable with new varieties being made to help buyers save money on electricity costs.
When the light bulb was first developed, its primary purpose was to light the homes of millions and to light working environments, making working easier and less upsetting on laborers' eyes. This development enabled companies to expand their workdays by many hours. Thomas' goal was to replace the Gaslight with a safe, and affordable electric light. ("First Public Demonstration of Edison's Light Bulb," n.d.) Edison made the light bulb in 1879, and right up 'til today, it is still just as helpful, if not more so. As time has passed, the light bulb has grown more important with an ever-increasing number of purposes that all of us take for granted.
In 1878, the most common way of lighting was gas. Gas, however, wasn't a convenient option. It was unclean, foul, and health threatening. When the gas was burned, it stained the walls and other fixtures with soot made from the gas so it had to be cleaned each day. It also contaminated the air and made summer days hotter and more miserable. It caused accidents, for example, blasts and flames, and also had to be tended by a grown-up. ("Gas lighting." n.d.)
The light bulb has served many purposes over the years, and furthermore, effects the world, likely more than many other inventions. It was a big change for those individuals that lived during the time period. For one, it enabled them to work longer days, go home late and still have a supper or do any left finished work they had from the day, attend social gatherings like meetings and parties, even though it was dark outside. Inside their homes, it was basically like the sun hadn't gone down yet. Things that were not able to perform or finish by lamp or candlelight following a long hard day of work, could likewise now be expert.


text: Posted October 30, 2019 Had an email telling me the several of the games on my wishlist on Steam were on sale and it got me wondering about one of them, Where The Water Tastes Like Wine, and whether there was any chance of it coming to consoles. Turns out, NoA's website had the game listed as coming out on Nov. 29th so I'm very pleasantly surprised if this turns out to be true as I've been wanting to play for awhile, it's just my PC is a potato. There's no official announcement from the developers other than a tweet saying that they're working to bring it to consoles back in May. I'm hoping this turns out to be real as I'd love to finally play it. If we can get this, here's hoping Cardboard Computer and Annapurna Interactive can finally wrap up Kentucky Route Zero for release as well as that's another game I've been waiting to play (especially as it's episodic). Although, do I really need more games to play... yes, yes I do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South African prop Pierre Du Toit comes straight into Coventry's front row to face National Division One lead-ers Worcester at Sixways tomorrow (3pm).
Du Toit, a Gauteng Lions tight head who has played Super 12 rugby, arrived in Coventry on Tuesday and trained with his new team-mates for the first time yesterday in preparation for his debut - subject to RFU clearance - in Cov's toughest test of the season so far.
Nick Cox moves on to the replacements bench as Cov make three changes from the starting XV against Wakefield two weeks ago.
Ali McLean is recalled on the wing in place of Matt Richards, and Dave Addleton comes in at hooker for Trent McMurray who is home in New Zealand for the holiday period.
Canadian World Cup fly-half Jared Barker is back on the bench after a month out through injury, and the replacements also include South Africa Academy hooker Chris Derby who is named in the squad for the first time.
Cov are unbeaten in their last four league matches in a run which has taken them clear of the relegation places, but readily acknowledge that Worcester -with 12 straight wins and a three-point cushion over Orrell at the top of the table - start the game as clear favourites.
?It's a game everbody is expecting us to lose, so there is no pressure on us at all,? said chief executive Ian Carvell.
?We are going there to give it a real go, and even if we lose we hope to take something out of the game to go forward into the New Year.
?We know what can be achieved at Worcesterif we get things right on the day, and our new international players have never been there before and want to do themselves justice. Everybody is looking forward to it.?

The tear out is now complete. I feel like I removed over 1,000 finish nails from the ceiling! The 'outside wall' insulation is in place. I added a new electrical circuit with two outlets on that wall. Studs are going up as well. Progress is very slow and I do a little bit here and there when I have a free hour to spare.

By Burnley FC
February 2 2020
Perhaps it's just not meant to be as the Clarets were left waiting for their first Premier League win over Arsenal.
But after a terrific Turf Moor performance - and a first home draw in almost a year -they could not have come closer.
And after a run of 10 successive league defeats against the former champions, stopping the rot was the least Sean Dyche's men deserved as they made it seven points from three games to go into the mid-winter break in great shape.
The hat-trick of wins after the victories over Leicester and Manchester United that had transformed the Clarets' fortunes proved cruelly elusive as Jay Rodriguez went closest to a late winner with an effort that bounced down off the bar and away via the goalline.
But Burnley could have given no more from a tremendous collective effort which will have earned tired limbs a deserved few days off.
And to remain level on points with Arsenal and 11th in the table leaves spirits high for the final push ahead.
Not since their first visit to Turf Moor in the Premier League have the Gunners dropped points but they rarely get an easy ride.
And that was certainly the case again once the Clarets – unchanged from their history-making win at OId Trafford – had survived an anxious start.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – so often a thorn in Burnley's side – was back from a ban for the visitors and missed the kind of chance after 14 minutes he invariably buries in the fixture.
Released by David Luiz's ball over the top the Arsenal captain dragged his effort wide and then when getting into a similar position later in the half failed to beat Nick Pope, who read the danger smartly to dash off his line and smother an attempted lob.

The Worm Farmer's Handbook
Turning waste into wealth sounds too good to be true, but many worm farmers are finding that vermicomposting is a reliable way to do just that. Vermicast―a biologically active, nutrient-rich mix of earthworm castings and decomposed organic matter―sells for $400 or more per cubic yard. Compare that to regular compost, sold at about $30 a cubic yard, and you'll see why vermicomposting has taken root in most countries and on every continent but Antarctica.
Vermicomposting is also one of the best sustainable solutions for organic waste management. Vermicomposting manure and crop wastes on farms improves crop yields while reducing demand for off-farm inputs. Vermicast has higher nutrient levels and lower soluble salt content than regular compost, and it improves soil aeration, porosity, and water retention. Plus, vermicast suppresses plant diseases and insect attacks. Municipalities, businesses, community gardens, schools, and universities can set up vermicomposting operations to process food residuals and other waste materials.
This book digs into all the details, including:
- Choosing the right production system
- Regulatory issues and developing a business and marketing plan
- Finding and managing feedstocks
- Pre-composting: why and how to do it
- Monitoring an active worm bed
- Harvesting, screening, testing, packaging, and storing vermicast
- Markets for earthworms and vermicast
- Food security: how vermicast benefits soils and plants
- Keys to success: avoiding common pitfalls

"How to approach the investors?". Here are five things to you must do before approaching investors for any amount of money
Clean up your credit: Even if your business doesn't have any credit history, at times your personal credit history can play a pivotal role in decision making of the investors. Hence, you should know your own credit history, because lenders and investors are going to take a close look at it. Get credit reports from the major credit-reporting agencies and keep a close track of your credit history. Investors might be less concerned with your credit score than lenders, but they'll be wary of entrepreneurs with major blemishes such as a bankruptcy or loan default on their record.
Have your Team in Place: The big question for nearly every financial backer is: Can you do this? They'll want to know that you and your co-founders or management team can execute the ambitious business plan you've presented and pay back your loan or generate a return for investors. They would want to have a gut feeling they can trust you and your team. Make sure you and your key people can talk about what may be ahead for the business, what the later phases of growth might be, what can go wrong, and how you might handle those things.
Business Plan:Writing a business plan is easy. Writing one in sufficient detail for investors can be tricky. Entrepreneurs often leave out key numbers and are overly optimistic with those they provide. For starters, know your burn rate, which measures how much money a not-yet-profitable business is spending each month, and break-even point. Also calculate a realistic growth rate and how your costs will scale up as your sales do. A good plan will also cover who your customers are, how you will get them to buy your product, and your cost of customer acquisition.
Understand what kind of Investors you are looking for: Entrepreneurs should do a lot of research before deciding what kind of outside money they need and who to approach for it. Match your business strategy and financial needs to the right backers. If you won't have strong cash flow — necessary for debt payments — for quite a while, then a bank loan is out. Venture Capital investors rely entirely on capital gains to make their money, so if you absolutely don't want to sell your business, then VC shouldn't be an option. Pre-qualify backers the same way you do potential clients, by learning how they do business and what their criteria are.
Have an Investor Wishlist in place: Draw up a list of ideal investors. Accepting financial assistance means taking on a new relationship, one you're likely to have for a long time, be it with a bank or investor or a different relationship with your friends and family. Sometimes the relationships go on for some time before any money changes hands. Try to work on this list to find out who you actually want to build the relation with.

When it was confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have Gorilla Glass, it was as if the entire world into some sort of I'm going to scratch the hell out of it hysteria. It turns out that all the kerfuffle was for nothing, as one Galaxy Nexus owner decided to put that big beautiful screen to the test.
I admit, it was a little painful to watch, but the end result was nothing less than spectacular. It turns out that Gorilla Glass isn't the only durable glass available for smartphones after all.

AUD/USD: Mildly bearish sentiment in early trade
Local interbank dealers are mildly bearish this morning although no-one is expecting any big moves before the jobs data is released in about 3 hours time. Bids are noted near 1.0180 and sell orders are solid above 1.0280, but it's unlikely that either end is threatened before the number. AUD/JPY is also generating a lot of interest with the market glued to support lines above 79.30, which if broken are expected to trigger heavy selling.

On Saturday morning February 1st, the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated upon entry into the earth's atmosphere. It's seven astronauts were lost. Late January and now early February are not good ones for the American manned space program. The Apollo 1 accident in January 1968, the Challenger explosion in January 1986, and now Columbia in February point to a bleak time of year. Only Challenger fell victim to the winter weather, and to the failure to design booster joints to withstand the cold.
The Apollo 1 was an accident was just waiting to happen. We had skated through the Mercury and Gemini programs ground testing capsule procedures with astronauts in a 100% oxygen atmosphere at sea level pressures. It caught up with us with a fire that killed three astronauts.
The cause of the Columbia accident may never be known, so it may be a long time before the shuttles resume flying. Until then the Russians have themselves a space station. They are the only ones who can get to the International Space Station, supply it, and get the two astronauts and a cosmonaut who are living there down. There's a Soyuz spacecraft docked there just for emergencies like this.
Now is the time when the space program is going to be reassessed by just about everyone from Congress on down. The perennial question always is: "Is human space flight too risky?" And this is from a population who apparently willing are to send our service people off in harms way to remove one despot in Iraq.
For me the space program must be multi-faceted. Great unmanned observatories like Hubble and Chandra orbit the earth sending back a wealth of information and images that have altered our understanding of the universe. The Hubble was saved and improved by several visits by the space shuttle where humans went outside and refurbished it.
Robot spacecraft have flown through the comas of comets. Robert Fahrquar and his crew at Johns Hopkins even soft landed a spacecraft on a rapidly spinning asteroid, after orbiting it for a year. We were thrilled in 1997 when the little Sojourner rover wandered around what might be a dry river bed on Mars. This year NASA plans to launch two more rovers to Mars.
Human space missions are much more expensive and of shorter duration compared to robots. People can't live on kilowatts alone, robots can. But humans are adaptable. All the Galileo space craft needed to send back more data from Jupiter was someone on board to give the fording antenna dish a swift kick.
It's not a question of man versus machine in the exploration of space and the universe. It is what combination of both will best advance our knowledge of the universe, and our ability to live and prosper in space.

Waiting on Wednesday ~ We Know It Was You
Hi everyone!
This week a book that sounds absolutely delightful. It is a mystery book, and I am just dying to jump in and find out what happened to that girl. Why did she jump? Why do those 2 people know what is the truth? What is going on in that town? Argh, so many questions, and still almost 2 weeks to go before it comes out!
Also I do like the cover, it is quite creative, and it fits with the blurb (not something that always happens).
It's better to know the truth. At least sometimes.
Halfway through Friday night's football game, beautiful cheerleader Brittany Montague—dressed as the giant Winship Wildcat mascot—hurls herself off a bridge into Atlanta's surging Chattahoochee River.
Just like that, she's gone.
Eight days later, Benny Flax and Virginia Leeds will be the only ones who know why.

Jeff Lake - Hamilton Exhibits
Daniel Tu - Tu Design
Rory J Thompson - Moderator
There was discussion about how modular exhibits were introduced to the american market as a low cost alternative to a custom booth and design was compromised by trying to do a 'knock off' of a custom booth. Now designs if they start with the idea of developing a design based on the system to be scaleable and efficient.
Now many modular exhibits combine the use of fabric to soften the hard lines of the posts and beams of a modular or system architecture structure.
Rentals of these systems make them even more attractive today with the economy and concerns about sustainability.
There are a lot more options in terms of extrusion and panel and fabric that allows today's design escape for the boxiness of the early extrusion.
If you listened in to day to the webinar please feel free to comment.

The pupil of her left eye is always dilated. A big black dot of hate. An opposite to the filmy vulture eye of the landlord Edgar Allan Poe wrote about in "A Tell Tale Heart" but just as creepy. And in that tale the landlord was amiable – it was his filmy eye alone that irked his killer.
While with my nemesis – everything about her irks me.
Her grating voice that heightens to a screech when she gets hysterical screaming things like -"I will make you suffer, I will get you kicked out of the armed forces" and "They cast me in a BIG movie when I was 8, but my parents wouldn't let me do it. THEY WOULDN'T LET ME!!!"
And who can forget this outburst – "YOU have to be your own PR person, YOU have to be a professional, YOU have to know how to talk to the lawyers, YOU can't be like that other woman who walks around with HER BOOBS HANGING OUT!" (Umm – I beg to differ – boobs have always been a pretty good PR tool for me 😉
I also despise the way she struts around the building – but has a handicapped tag hanging from her rearview mirror.
Her old school typed memos that she shoves in people's doors late at night when she's issuing legal threats boil my blood as well.
Yep – who knew an 80 year old woman I wasn't related to could drive me so insane! But that's the 'joy' of condo living – you're bound to these terrors 'till the economy improves and you can escape the madness!
Since I last blogged – Constance and I had another throw down. I knew I shouldn't have returned her phone call and I probably should've hung up right away – but I couldn't help myself.
Yep, my own worst enemy – I am.
She started complaining another board member (one who is a saint and goes above and beyond) not responding to her so I said – "well, maybe if you were nicer to people, they'd call you back."
"I AM NICE!!!" She screeched.
Things escalated from there and finally ended with her hissing Wicked Witch of the West style – "Enjoy your dog."
She better watch it – threaten me all you want – but if Constance goes after my dog I'm gonna go all "Wizard of Oz Dorothy" on her.
The weekend after our confrontation she stood on the balcony eating a sandwich in her bra and old lady underwear (it was hot, the weather that is). She must've heard me on the porch because she turned and stopped mid-bite to scowl at my friend who dared to look over at her. His eyes still burn when he thinks about it.
Each new visit to our building from the paramedics + cops makes me fear that one day I could be the one wheeled out on the gurney (visit below was an "afternoon delivery" gone bad) because the bitter old bitch has pushed me too far.
'Cause let's face it – the pain in the ass ones like Constance, they live forever. They seize energy from you, pushing your buttons so they can get a reaction – hoping they can transfer their misery to you.
But I'm not gonna suck this one up. I'm gonna simultaneously push back and put up a force field.
I'm also gonna take the stairs 🙂
