Section 194 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the 'Act') prohibits directors and key managerial personnel ('KMPs') from executing contracts / arrangements that permit them to exercise a 'right to call for delivery or a right to make delivery' of shares of a company in which they are directors and KMPs ('Relevant Company'). The aforesaid restriction also extends to securities in the holding company, associate company and subsidiary of the Relevant Company.
For the sake of clarity, Section 194(1) of the Act reads as follows:
No Director of a company or any of its key managerial personnel shall buy in the company, or in its holding, subsidiary or associate company—
(a) a right to call for delivery or a right to make delivery at a specified price and within a specified time, of a specified number of relevant shares or a specified amount of relevant debentures; or
(b) a right, as he may elect, to call for delivery or to make delivery at a specified price and within a specified time, of a specified number of relevant shares or a specified amount of relevant debentures.
The legislative intent behind Section 194 of the Act is aimed at preventing directors and KMPs from acquiring the right to exercise call / put options in respect of shares of the Relevant Company, as they are likely to have access to insider information, which are potentially price sensitive in nature, and can therefore provide directors and KMPs undue advantage over outsiders (including other shareholders). Permitting directors and KMPs with access to confidential / insider information to enter into forward contracts in securities of the Relevant Company could induce them to act for their personal gains, rather than the benefit of the Relevant Company, and induce speculation in securities of the Relevant Company, which is sought to be curbed under Section 194 of the Act.
While the intention of Section 194 of the Act is to ensure directors and KMPs adhere to their fiduciary duties, the current wording of the said provision gives rise to certain interpretational ambiguities. This article is intended to provide a brief insight into some of the technical interpretation issues lawyers may face when interpreting the provisions of Section 194 of the Act.
At the outset, the language set out in Section 194(1)(a) and Section 194(1)(b) appear to be almost identical. In fact, the only difference between the said provisions appears to be the usage of the phrase "as he may elect", which has been used in Section 194(1)(b). Further, it is to be noted that Section 194(1)(a) prevents a director or KMP from buying in the Relevant Company, "a right to call for delivery" or a "right to make a delivery", the securities of the Relevant Company. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that sub-clause (a) prevents the director / KMP from acquiring a right to call or put shares of the Relevant Company, and such 'right' will be exercised by such director / KMP 'as he / she may elect', which is also provided for in sub-clause (b). In light of the foregoing, prima facie, there appears to be little difference between the scope of the provisions in sub-clause (a) and (b).
Secondly, while Section 194(1) applies to all 'directors' and key managerial personnel, the Explanation to the said provision uses the term 'whole-time director', and appears to suggest that the restriction set out in Section 194(1) of the Act applies only to whole-time directors. Therefore, there appears to be a little ambiguity on the scope of Section 194 of the Act, to the extent as to whether the said restriction applies to all directors of a company (including non-executive and independent directors), or whether the said provision only applies to whole-time directors. Given that the legislative intent of the said provision appears to ensure that persons with insider information / confidential information do not enter into forward contracts in respect of the shares of the Relevant Company, there would be no apparent reason for the said provision to apply only to whole-time directors, and not to other directors.
Thirdly, the restriction set out in Section 194(1) applies in case the call option / put option available to the directors / KMP, is exercisable at a specified price and within a specified time period. Therefore, it is clear that the restriction in the said provision will apply only in case the call / put option is subject to a specified price and is required to be exercised within a specified time period. In the considered view of the authors, the aforesaid requirements could potentially provide some loop holes / leeway for directors / KMPs to enter into put / call option contracts in respect of shares of companies they are directors / KMPs of, without providing for a specified price or a specific time period, and look to avoid the restrictions set out in Section 194 of the Act. However, not providing for a specified price or a specified time period could potentially render such option contracts void due to uncertainty under the Indian Contract Act, 1872.
Further, put / call options in shareholder agreements are often subject to a formula and not necessarily a fixed price / price range, expressed in numerical terms. Therefore, there does appear to be uncertainty as to whether directors / KMPs can acquire put / call options in respect of shares of the Relevant Company based on a formula based pricing mechanism, and fall out of the rigours of Section 194 of the Act. Having said that, given the legislative intent behind Section 194 of the Act, such an approach is unlikely to be viewed favourably by the regulatory authorities, and such an approach can be said to defeat the spirit and intent of the said provision, and therefore, not advisable.
It is noteworthy to mention that Section 194 of the Act continues to apply to directors and KMPs of even private companies, and not just public companies. Restrictions on forward dealing are intended to prevent speculation on prices of shares, and is more relevant in listed public companies, rather than private companies; which are often closely held. Therefore, the legislative intent behind extending the scope of Section 194 of the Act to private companies continues to be confounding. In fact, the Companies Law Committee has taken cognizance of the foregoing, and has noted that the regulations formulated by Securities and Exchange Board of India are comprehensive in restricting forward dealing, as they also apply to companies intending to get listed1, and has proposed to remove Section 194 from the Act altogether (which would consequently render the provision inapplicable to private companies). However, no such decision appears to have been made and as on date, the said provision applies to all Indian companies, including private companies.

The foreground, the background?
The past, future?
The positive, the negative?
The good, the crap?
Do we even think about it half the time, even though they are all clearly there?
I thought about it when I stepped off the hamster wheel for a while, taking that breather from doing all this at times bloody frustrating stuff, need a break now and again don't we to see the wood for the trees.
I needed to really think about it without the distractions…
… far too many things! 🙂
One was do I have an agenda, on here?
Everyone has got an agenda with everything they do, even if they are reluctant to acknowledge it, it's there somewhere and it matters, to me at least… but I thought alot about it and realised something important but also easily enough misplaced.
Giving, what, where and how
The only thing that really counts is what we give and we do give, just by writing and putting effort into something and doing all the other crap that's needed… promoting etc, yeah it's enjoyable but that don't pay it's way, alone!
We give all on what we do, we help whenever we can, whoever we can help, however we can do that and we hope that the rewards of whatever type come back, we give in all places by promoting and hoping others help spread the word, rinse repeat…
There is no magic pill or solution to that situation other then hard work and effort, continuously no matter what people say… get behind their doors and see what they also do and you see what I say will be the truth.
But… hard work, effort, stress, mental energy!
Where's the getting? … ah the agenda? 😉
I'll have a beer please! >>>>>>>>>> Thanks!! 🙂 >>>>>>>>>>
On a serious note it's not just a one way street like people assume it to be and that's why I see more people sticking paywalls up, meaning private post and content only for those that pay (give instead of get) thus moving away from everything being freely available from the writer (giving) and struggling with the "get"part.
Makes sense as people can't just keep on giving and giving without any of the get, no matter what the giving or getting is… more money, readers, subscribers, fans, whatever!
Every post has an agenda, not just the blog as a whole and it's something more of us could do better to remember, me included. 😉
If I get ONE beer, I'll have succeed and will cool down in the heat. 🙂

It may be Hall of Fame weekend in Canton, but Saturday was also Hall of Fame day in East Rutherford.
Michael Strahan, enshrined in 2014 and the most recent gold jacket recipient for the Giants, was at the team's training camp practice and even delivered a post-workout speech to rally the current players.
"He talked about the love of the game, he talked about the pride in the Giants organization, and about how his team, the team that he was on, is connected to the team that we have here today," Ben McAdoo said of the animated address by Strahan. "[He spoke about] what a special place this is and don't have any regrets. Make sure you get everything you can out of camp and have no regrets moving forward."
Strahan, who played for the Giants from 1993 to 2007, made a particular impression on the younger players who have not had much opportunity to be around him.
"It's crazy seeing legends all around," rookie defensive end Avery Moss said, talking about this experience as well as meeting Justin Tuck earlier this offseason. "These are people we grew up hearing about and watching. They're walking legends. It's dope seeing all that kind of stuff."
Shepard takes it slow
A day after verbally downplaying the effects of his ankle injury, WR Sterling Shepard was on the field Saturday to physically do the same. Shepard did not run full speed, but he was able to stretch with the team and then work on the side where he jogged and a decent clip, made some cuts, and caught passes with a trainer. Shepard is still considered day-to-day after rolling his ankle on Wednesday, but it appeared as if the day he returns to action is pretty close.
Giants steps
Giants had their longest and most physically demanding practice of training camp on Saturday, and McAdoo was pleased with what he saw. "It's one of our better days, yes," he said. He was particularly happy with the temp of the practice, which wrapped up seven minutes ahead of schedule (and that included Strahan's speech which lasted about three or four minutes) . . . DE Devin Taylor participated in team drills for the first time since a leg injury sidelined him for most of the past week . . . McAdoo said that QB Geno Smith took a step forward in Saturday's practice but still has room to improve. "I think he definitely is very accurate with the football," McAdoo said. "I think he's still learning."

Student leaders active in their roles
From the Stage Coordinators, Mrs McKendrick and Mrs Donald
A busy week ahead, from the Primary children's point of view, the most important event is the Swimming Carnival on Wednesday at 10.45 at the Killarney Swim Centre! The House Captains are very excited about the prospect – this is the first major event of their tenure. They and their assistants had a meeting with their respective houses to encourage them to show good sportsmanship and do their best. We hope to see many parents there – it is always a wonderful and exciting event.
Also next week is the Reception given by the Board of Governors – we also encourage you to come to this to help welcome new parents and to meet members of the Board. This is in the MacLaren Hall from 7.30 to 9.00 p.m. and refreshments will be served: this is another occasion where Head Boy, Head Girl and House Captains can demonstrate their leadership and also have the opportunity to serve the school.
Sunday 23rd is the Phillip House Working Bee – a wonderful day to get out of bed early and spend time with friends!
Respect – our term's focus in the practice of the School Values - this week concentrates on the question: "Is this action considerate of the happiness and comfort of others?"

More on "Respect"
At Assembly the Headmaster is talking to the children each week about some aspect of this Creed, and naturally, he began with God, giving a simple and delightful exposition. This Creed is designed to set the children to thinking about their lives in a larger context.
Our practice of Respect follows on very readily from these considerations. This week we have been looking at Unity, as described last week, and now we will examine and practise the second aspect which is "Is this action safe for myself and others?"
The children have been looking very smart in their uniforms, especially 5th Class, who are now in the senior uniform. Congratulations to the children, especially in having their sunhats for play!

Respect - a core school value
From the Stage Coordinators, Mrs McKendrick and Mrs Donald
In the
Vision, Mission and Values
document of John Colet School, the practice of Respect, which is our practice this term, asks certain questions which are aimed at directing and guiding actions:
Work together with love, honour and respect for one another.
Practice: Respect
1. Does the action unify?
2. Is this safe for myself and others?
3. Is it considerate of the happiness and comfort of others?
4. Is it honourable, respectful and dignified?
5. Does this action reflect well on my nation, school, family and myself?
These are very worthwhile considerations at any age or stage of life, and if we all asked ourselves these questions in the moments before actions and decisions – what a different place the world would be! Our responsibility is to put these considerations before the children, and help and encourage them to apply them to their actions.
We will begin with the first question: Does the action unify?
• Is it to the benefit of all involved?
• Will it bring us together?
• Does it exclude anyone?
Home support on these questions is very valuable. Copy them and pin them up on the fridge!
Our first event on the Calendar is the Primary Swimming Carnival in February: more information will be forthcoming.
Lower First had a wonderful start to their school life. They all seemed very happy, settled and mature.
In fact everyone has got off to a good, steady start and we are looking forward to a very rewarding and productive year.

End of year parties and excursions
From the Stage Coordinators
The weather was against us! – no Sports Carnival on Tuesday, but the new date of 25th November was easily arranged although the calendar is a bit of a "minefield" of end-of-year parties, excursions and other exciting events. Sixth Class is rolling towards the end of their John Colet careers, and are making this doubly memorable with a series of happenings. Rehearsals for Speech Night are underway, and of course there is the Nativity by Second Class coming up the day after the Carnival.
Mufti Day was bright occasion at school, and most of the children came to school sporting "something black" to signify that we were collecting the "gold coin" penalty money for a group of disadvantaged girls at Warwick Farm who are devoting themselves to working for charitable causes. Callum T and his family made a presentation at the Monday Assembly, explaining all about it. $415.75 was collected, and will be handed to Callum to pass on. Thank you to all who participated! A great initiative, Callum.
The Nativity is traditionally accompanied by gift giving on the part of the children, with suitable items going to the needy and underprivileged. These will be collected in the large Treasure Chest that will be placed outside the Maclaren Hall. We hope to receive some gifts for 15-year-old girls, suitable to the Warwick Farm group.
We are all working towards bringing the final term of 2013 to a fulfilling, successful and peaceful end – this to be done by a careful adherence to our school values – Stillness, Truthfulness, Care, Service, Respect.

Lots of 'young adults' about
All being of service...
The School has been full of young adults this week and will be so next week too. Most delightful! Apart from our bright and energetic Gap students, we have had Alex Ladomatos (at University) and Akshai Bhandari (just finished school) helping to move the Office staff out of Shakespeare 1, and we have had Oscar Smith on Community Service (Year 10 St. Andrew's Cathedral School), his blazer bristling with his achievements! Next week we have Ashwin Manaktala and Tobias Hanson both on Community Service. All these young people are ex-JCS students, and it is such a pleasure seeing them choose to come and work here.
Michaela Miles staged her "Open Choir Lesson" on Tuesday – some parents came along. The children sang beautifully – specifically things that they will not be performing on Speech Night.
And of course, the Office staff have moved: Carmen Griffiths ensconced in her "orange world" reception; half of the office staff in a new space behind the Headmaster's office and the others in an office space in Ralston Avenue. (They visit regularly).
This week the teachers had a special morning tea, which we do each term. A section of the staff supply "goodies" and the idea is for the staff to have the chance to mix. We had a sumptuous feast which also marked the occasion of thanking several people who are leaving at the end of the year, very sadly.
Lynne Werner is leaving and retiring to a northern coastal town, after many years at JCS, Mary Garrett is also moving: from Newcastle and will be settling somewhere south, destination as yet unknown, Helen Thomas, Leisa Brown and Rachel Alexander, three of our wonderful Teacher's Aides, are regretfully leaving. Marie White is taking a year's leave to teach underprivileged children somewhere in the Third World, David McDermott is taking up studies in the health sector and will only be here one day a week; Matthew Collis served in the John Colet Sailing Club for 20 years and is retiring, as is the Dance Teacher, Angela Miller. Two of our "Gappies" are finishing up at the end of the term – Andrea Mego, returning to South Africa, and Sam Bodington, seeking adventure further afield. We send them all off with our blessings and wishes that they come back to visit from time to time.

Festival focus
And then it's over...
It's been Shakespeare, Shakespeare and more Shakespeare at John Colet this week. The Primary Festival is on and the Infants children had a preview at school on Monday and Tuesday when the Primary put on six wonderful dress rehearsal performances for them in the Hall. The real performances on Thursday were even better, and the auditorium was packed. There was much laughter and sometimes tension as the plays rolled out. A big thank you to the class teachers, so ably assisted by Zoe Emanuel and the Headmaster, and of course thanks for the wonderful contribution the parents made in sourcing costumes, backdrops and props, as well as providing a supper at the theatre. The Friday performances will undoubtedly be as well supported and as enjoyable. For the 6th Class, it will be their final John Colet Shakespeare performance.
Our photographer Michael Hennessey took his usual wonderful photos and they are available to view at his website
The next big event is the Sports Carnival, combined Infants and Primary, which will be at Narrabeen on 12th November. Today the Infants had a very successful run-through with Tim Roslin and the teachers. Primary will have their practice next week.
A focus this week for the practice of "Give of your best" has been in speech. Children have been reminded to speak clearly and in full sentences. This has of course found its full expression in the Shakespeare plays, and the diction this year was noticeably improved.

Fire fighters a great example of Care and Service
A hot, dry, smoky week at John Colet School, but not nearly so hot, dry and smoky as at schools in the Blue Mountains and other affected communities. Our sympathies and thoughts go to all those enduring and fighting fires. What wonderful examples there have been of care and service to the community from the fire fighters and their enormous support teams, endangering their own safety to help others and their property.
Everyone in the school has been working to condense and showcase their Shakespeare performances for the visit of John Bell and some members of the Board of Governors on Friday: we also look forward to Primary's full presentations of their plays on Monday and Tuesday, which they will do for each other and the Infants children, in preparation for "the real thing" at the Glen Street Theatre.
The strong winds have made caring for the playground a little more onerous this week, but this remains the focus of the CARE practice.
On Tuesday 29th parents of 2013 Lower First are warmly invited to morning tea with the Headmaster and Mistresses. This will be the final class morning tea for the year – it has been a most enjoyable and well-attended series of get-togethers. Thank you to all those who are able to come.

Naplan Results for John Colet School
...and other equally important things...
A week of great rejoicing in the halls of John Colet School! Some outstanding results in the Naplan from children in years 3 and 5: all the teachers are to be congratulated for their work in preparing the children; and the children themselves must be feeling pleased that their hard work is reflected in the wonderful scores they achieved. And why not? – let's congratulate the parents too!
Another happy event was the Introductory Day for next year's Lower 1st intake. The children had a settled and productive morning, and many of the parents came to the morning tea in the Staff Common Room, where Mrs Moor had laid on her usual feast. Sixteen of the children were siblings of children already in the school, and this of course helps the event to be more relaxed. Thank you to all involved.
While this was on, the Infants children went to an ABC concert, which was also deemed a success, and we heard reports of a group of Lower First children enthusiastically responding to a call to dance on stage! Good show.
This next week we are highlighting CARE of the playground. We are instituting an "emu patrol" in the grounds, which means that each grade has a designated area of the school where they pick up rubbish. This is a five-minute weekly job, and we hope it will also serve to stop some of the littering, as well as producing a clean playground.
Week Three also brings the Phillip Market day on Tuesday 22nd and the attenuated Shakespeare performances on Friday 25th for our Festival Patron, Mr. John Bell. The Board of Governors has also been invited to attend these, which will be held in the Hall. Break a leg!
Summer uniform this week!
NB Primary children will need a packed lunch from Monday 28st Oct – Fri 1st Nov which is the week of the Shakespeare Festival.
Parents – come join the choir! Morning tea
On Wednesday 6th November there's an open choir lesson for Primary from 8.40 – 9.15 am followed by a morning tea. Parents please come along, it's a great way to see what goes into creating the beautiful singing we hear at school events such as Speech Night.

Straight to work now school's back
The children settled in very quickly, and in spite of the heat – up and down – everyone applied themselves and got straight down to work. Shakespeare resounds around the school, and we are all looking forward to the Primary performances in a few weeks: don't forget to buy your tickets early (they go on sale on 14th October), and please do encourage as many relatives and friends as you can to come along! It is so rewarding for the children to see a full audience, and of course it is a wonderful showcase for the school. This year the Infants' children will be treated to performances at school – this simplifies things for everyone.
Thursday will see an Introductory Day for next year's Lower First, and Mrs. Tefay and Mrs. Connell, next year's L1st teachers, confess to being very excited about meeting their new charges (although they surrender their present ones with regret!). The parents of this new intake are invited to a morning tea with the Headmaster and Mrs. Donald in the Staff Common Room. Meanwhile, Lower 1st, Upper 1st and 2nd Class will be treated to an ABC Concert in Ultimo, and will be away for the morning.
Upper 1st parents are also reminded about a class morning tea with the Headmaster on Tuesday 15th, also to be held in the Staff Common Room.
Our focus for the practice of CARE this week is once again school uniform.
There is a changeover period from winter to summer uniform for the first two weeks of term: full uniform please – one or the other. It is very nice to see all children arrive at school in full uniform: polished shoes, the right socks, shoelaces done up and shirts tucked in: hats of course! The same applies when leaving school, although realistically by then the shoes are not quite so shiny!

Welcome back to a busy term 4
Northern Beaches Independent School - always busy
Welcome back to school for the last term of 2013! It's a big term filled with a panorama of preparation and rehearsals for the year-end events, including the Primary Shakespeare Festival, a Nativity performance, Speech night preparation, the school Chess Competition, events marking the graduation of 6th class and other delights such as the Picnic Day.
A few exciting things have happened over the holidays, including the establishment of garden beds for the new Gardening Club (thanks to Ms Delien supported by some funding from the P&F); the move by some of the Administration to premises in Ralston Avenue (just round the block), the imminent relocation of Reception to a new spot in the old Admin Building, and the freeing up of Shakespeare 1 – back to a potential teaching space. And all the while the grass is growing in the part of the Eora playground that has been newly turfed!
"Always give of your best" is the aspect of our Values that we will give attention to this term, and we have distilled this to the word "CARE" for the children to remember easily. This is reflected in the following questions:
• Am I giving full attention?
• Is it beautiful?
• Is it well presented?
• Is it pleasing to others?
Teachers will take this up in the classroom and perhaps this could also be taken up at home!
Care of uniform and the presentation of ourselves as members of John Colet School will be an early focus, moving on to care of each other, our possessions, care in our speech and actions, care in our work, and care for our environment, both natural and man-made.
Good wishes and hopes for a productive and rewarding term!

Infants enjoy a quiet week
and a Roman Banquet
Week 9 has been quiet at John Colet School, as the whole Primary Department has been off on excursions, and the weather has been very kind: we expect to hear more about their adventures and hopefully see some photos.
A very successful and delicious Roman breakfast was held for one of the Latin classes, who dressed in tunics and togas for the event: the menu included "wine", fresh and dried fruit, cheese and eggs, olives of course, baked "dormice" – a real Roman favourite, and a generous supply of Roman marching biscuits – not unlike our ANZAC biscuits – which the children had made themselves the day before. No drunken and disorderly behaviour was reported, and the Romans returned to class well satisfied, distributing Roman marching biscuits to all and sundry!
This coming week we are expecting a two-day visit from
Mrs. Monique Miotto
from our sister school in Melbourne – the Erasmus School. She is Head of Learning and looks after the curriculum.
A third gap student has joined us from England for six months
– Mr. Sam Bodington
. Sam's father, Peter Bodington, lived in Australia for twelve years as a young man, but Sam will only be here for six months. Sam went to St. James' School in London until the end of Year 10 and then transferred to Brockwood Park in Hampshire for his two final years of schooling. Brockwood Park is a small school of 60, run by Krishnamurti followers. Sam has a particular attraction to Drama and Literature: and his visit has been most timely, with the Primary Shakespeare Festival coming up mid-next term.
Generosity continues as the theme until the end of the week. This virtue gives endless opportunity for practice, both at home and abroad.

Reflecting on gifts and talents
We can happily say that Grandparents' Day was a resounding success! The first indicator was the wonderful response – over 100 grandparents came, and were entertained by their grandchildren, served and looked after by Sixth Class and given the opportunity to see lessons in progress. I must say that some of the children's writing about their Grandparents which was displayed in the classrooms, was very touching, as well as portraits and photos. Thanks to all those who contributed.
The week ahead brings more adventure: the Primary classes will be away from Wednesday to Friday exploring life further afield – Milson Island and Bathurst. Undoubtedly they will have opportunities both to learn and to have fun!
Generosity – our present practice: A little reflective moment: all the children have been blessed with gifts, talents, abilities and opportunities: every child can dip into this cornucopia of endowments: some have gifts, some talents, all have particular abilities and certainly all have opportunities. The big question for all of us is what we do with them.
Marsilio Ficino
, 15th century Renaissance scholar, philosopher and mentor to many of the Renaissance "greats", states in a letter to
Cosimo de' Medici
that whilst a person may have many endowments, he or she will not be truly happy until they discover what they are. Having discovered them, they need to be used, for what is the point of a gift or talent that lies idle?
However, real happiness follows when these abilities and opportunities are made good use of, and that always entails using them rightly for the good of all. Using what we have been given for the benefit of all is an act of generosity. Let us thus be generous to one another.
Grandparents and students mingle in a classroom on Grandparents Day.

Encouraging children to be generous
A warm thank you to the parents who have been able to come to the Headmaster's Class Breakfasts in the Staff Common Room – so far the Primary parents and next the Infants' parents. Thanks also to Donna for providing delicious things to help the conversation along. These occasions have been most enjoyable and have offered a further opportunity for communication on a more personal level.
Our next big social "event" is to welcome Grandparents to the School on Wednesday 4th from 8.30 to 10.30. The children will be serving and then performing. The location is the Hall.
This week we welcome a second Gap Student to John Colet – this time from London. Joy Mendes da Costa had her education at St. James' Girls School, one of our sister schools in London. She will be here till mid-2014. Her interests are sports, drama and history, and we look forward to her helping teachers in all of these areas, as well as Sanskrit, Art and Singing. In her spare time she likes to play tennis and lacrosse and read and sing. Joy is a very experienced babysitter! She is intending to take up studies in education next year with the hope of becoming a teacher.
The Garden Club is very close to "launch" thanks to the great and enthusiastic efforts of Alex Delien and a host of helpers, including members of staff. We are encouraging interested children to keep to existing after school activities and wait for gardening to rotate to another day of the week, which we will do each term, so that everyone gets a chance to participate. Best of luck!
We are moving on from Steadfastness to the practice of Generosity for the next few weeks. Generosity includes allowing others to enjoy what is theirs – their personal talents and abilities as well as possessions; it includes not taking more than we actually need, and also of course the usual concept of giving and sharing with others what we ourselves have and enjoy. There is much scope here! Please encourage this quality in the children: it is one that can bring much happiness to both giver and receiver.

John Colet sees Storm Boy at Sydney Theatre Company
Excursions and Incursions for all...
The past week was studded with events and achievements, which made it a happy one in spite of the very cold weather, and the sudden return of winter.
Congratulations to the Chess cohort! John Colet will be represented by a team at the semi-finals of the Inter-Schools Chess Challenge – an outstanding achievement for a school of relatively small size! Well done Miro, Heather B and the children and helpers. We look forward to a happy outcome – win or lose!
There were three events – one was an excursion by the Primary children to see the show "Storm Boy", based on the famous Australian novel of the same name by Colin Thiele. This was much enjoyed by one and all, and apparently had some great puppeteering in it. The Infants too had puppets on Wednesday, this time shadow puppets: a one-person show called
The Owl's Apprentice
, and very delightful.
Supporting our child protection instruction, three Police officers came to John Colet on Wednesday morning to talk to each of the Infants grades about "Keeping Safe": they covered getting lost and Stranger Danger, and the talks were very interactive, reinforcing what many of the children already knew.
Our practice of Steadfastness is being remembered by staff and children alike: it very much links with self-discipline, stillness, reliability and self-respect.
Two important items:
1. GRANDPARENTS' DAY: An invitation has been sent out to all families for Grandparents Day on 4th September, including a programme. If your child has no available grandparents and wishes to invite an Honorary Grandparent or two, please feel free. Please understand that it is vital that you register this attendance with the School Receptionist – we need this information in advance for catering purposes. Your co-operation would be much appreciated by the Catering Department!
2. AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: Please note that if your children are attending after school activities other than After School Care, such as Pisa training, Mandarin, Music lessons, French, and soon Gardening Club etc., if you are not there to collect them, they will be sent to After School Care as a routine matter of protection and safety. Please understand that we cannot have them running about without supervision whilst waiting for you. The office staff goes by 4 p.m. and teachers will generally be working in their classrooms. Many thanks.

Teaching children to stick at things
Steadfastness so important
The Infants Shakespeare Festival was a resounding success, and as usual, nothing short of miraculous!
Top marks to the class teachers, the Drama teacher, Miss Emanuel, and the many helping hands who provided costumes, props, hair and make-up and also the delicious suppers at the evening shows. The office staff also played its part in providing the venue, setting up the new stage and backdrop and selling the tickets. Mrs. Moor and her intrepid team did wonders in providing "Breezeway Lunches" three days in a row, so the Hall could remain set up for the show, and parents didn't have to be called on to provide packed lunches on top of everything else! It certainly was a wonderful event and judging from the smiling faces of parents and visitors, everyone involved thought so. The children were praised for their flair, courage, steadfastness and discipline. I am sure that you would agree that these were the qualities shown.
Now roll on the Primary Shakespeare Festival ……. Practice is already well under way!
The school photos were taken without a hitch, and once again, the children are to be congratulated on their behaviour. The photo team told us that the children were polite and co-operative.
We are now practising STEADFASTNESS. This means sticking to things: our values, keeping promises, seeing a job through, completing a task even though we don't much like it, being faithful to friends and holding to the Truth – these and much more. It is so easy to change our minds when things don't go the way we like.
There have been quite a few absences this week – staff and children - and we wish everyone a quick recovery.
5th class has been growing cress in egg shells, making hairy heads. Great fun!

Your mother's plan was pure genius.
For as long as you've been able to sit upright, you've been terrified of the doctor's office. Just as soon as you see Nurse Tara — the one who give the shots — you start looking for the exits.
In most situations, you're a pretty cool cat. But every time Tara asks us to strip you down to be weighed, you go a bit bonkers.
You cry.
You squirm.
You scream.
It's all really sort of embarrassing.
So with your second birthday approaching — and your two-year check-up impending — your mother had one of those lightbulb-above-the-head moments. She hopped online and found a bag of toy doctor equipment. Then, figuring that you wouldn't be satisfied with a plastic toy stethoscope, she found you the real thing. She also picked up two books about visiting the doctor.
By the time your appointment came round, you were ready. Doctor's bag in hand, you marched into the office as if you were making a house call.
And then you saw Tara.
You cried.
You squirmed.
You screamed.
But by the time Dr. Schrwiever arrived on the scene, we'd calmed you down a bit. And you were more than happy to let her check your vitals — a stark improvement from our last visit, when the poor doctor had to leave the room for a bit for fear of sending you into complete hysterics. You were eager to let her listen to your breathing and check out your eyes, ears and throat. And we were proud as pup when the doctor showed us that you had shot up in weight a bit — enough so that you were finally actually on the chart! (Albeit hugging the bottom line.)
When Tara returned — with a shot, I'm sad to say — you once again flew into a rage. But you recovered nicely, afterward, even if, for the next two days, you complained that "Tara hurt me." (We keep insisting to you that she was simply doing what your parents asked her to do, but you're not buying it.)
All told, though, your mother's plan worked rather well. You don't like getting shots (who does?) but you kept your cool for most of the appointment, which is all we could have hoped for.
Meanwhile, your "check up gear" have fast become your favorite playthings. And it's probably worth noting that you look stellar with a stethoscope dangling from your ears.
You bedside manner does leave a little something to be desired. ("You are very, very, very, very sick," I heard you tell one of your stuffed animal patients this morning.)
But nobody's perfect.

"Let's clear the air on something right now before it becomes a problem," your mother tells me, out of the blue.
I swallow hard and look up with her with my best whatever-I-did-I'm-very-very-sorry face.
"When your daughter says, 'Mommy met a man' she's talking about the guy who loaded the bag of chicken feed into the trunk. That's all, OK?"
I'm glad we got that straightened out. And I'm glad that your mother still doesn't know about whatever it is that I've screwed up today — and, alas, there is probably something that I've screwed up today.
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
When you're a parent, you get to say a lot of big words like "retrospect."
For instance, in retrospect, it might have been a good idea not to spend the past two weeks talking about all the fun we're going to have on the occasion of your second birthday, because now — on said birthday's eve — you're so giddy with anticipation that you can't get to sleep. And it's going to be a bit tough to make good on all those exciting promises tomorrow if you can't keep your eyes open.
Lesson learned.
There have been a lot of those over the past two years.
For instance, if you want your daughter to be excited to see you after a week away from home, it's best not to do something to drastically alter your appearance, as I did when I shaved my beard on the way home from Cuba, last year.
And if you don't want your kid to puke up rotten milk all over her bed covers, it's a good idea to make sure she hasn't hidden a bottle under her pillow during nap time so that she could have an extra few sips before bed.
And if you decide you want to teach you daughter to spell the word "fun," it's a bad idea to laugh when she mispronounces the letters "F-U-N" as "eff-you-man" — because that's the way she'll spell that word for a long time to come.
I've learned what songs make you laugh and which ones make you cry. I've learned how to hug you when you say you need a hug and how to hug you when you say you don't. I've learned that I need to remind you every day that, even though your mother has gone off to work, she'll be coming home soon.
I've learned all this because, in retrospect, there was a time that I should have done something else.
There are very nearly 7 billion people on this planet — and every single one of them had parents. And every single one of those parents had parents. And every single one of those parents had parents. And so on and so on until our Eve.
You'd think, with all that experience, our species would have developed a full-proof plan for parenting. Of course, we've got nothing of the sort. Even good parents — and I think your mother and I are good parents — manage to screw things up quite a bit. Hence the little girl in the room right next to ours who, in between adorably off-key choruses of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" has been chanting "birth-day! birth-day! birth-day!" for the past 30 minutes.
The trick is not to screw up in any irreparable ways — and so far (I think) we've managed to guide your little ship past any catastrophic crashes upon the rocks of life.
I guess we won't know for sure, though, except in retrospect.
But we're doing our best. And we're having a lot of fun.
That's "F-U-N," by the way.
Lesson learned.

I'm sleeping alone tonight while you and your mother are on an adventure — in a tent in our backyard.
Your mom has been getting you ready for this all week. When the evening finally came you couldn't contain your excitement. You even asked to go to bed early.
I can tell that your mother is getting excited too. In just a few more weeks, she'll begin her summer vacation. Then you can have even more adventures like this one.
And maybe sometimes you'll let me come along.
Monday, May 18, 2009
I'm guessing the lady at the hardware store's check-out stand asks everyone the same question: "So watcha makin' hon?"
"I'm building a book nook in the attic for my daughter," I told her.
"Ahh, that's sweet," she replied. "How old is she?"
"She'll be two later this month," I said as I slid my credit card through the machine.
The lady looked at me with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Two year olds don't read, hon," she said, handing me a receipt.
"Um, mine will," I said.
"Well, sure sweety," she said, already turning to the next customer, "good luck with that."
We get this sort of thing a lot.
When you were about three months old, I was chatting with a pregnant colleague about potty training, when another coworker walked by.
"Potty training?" he said to me. "What do you know about that? Your kid isn't potty trained."
"Actually, she uses the toilet pretty regularly," I said.
"No she doesn't," he said.
I gave him the best "whatever, jerk" look I could muster, then turned back to the coworker with whom I'd been conversing. I explained how, as long as we were perceptive to your needs, you were more than capable of doing your business in the toilet.
But the nosy coworker was undeterred. "So you're saying that you just hold her over the toilet and she goes?"
"Something like that."
"She's probably just peeing because she's terrified that you're going to drop her," he said. "Good luck with that."
At the park, a few days ago, we were practicing your colors in Chinese. Another parent walked by.
"Do you mind me asking what language that is?"
"Mandarin," I told her.
"Oh, is her mother Chinese?" the woman asked.
I looked down at my Irish-pale daughter. "Um, no," I said. "We just thought it would be good for her to know another language."
"Oh, us too," she said. "My daughter's learning Spanish."
"That's great" I replied. "That will be very important."
"You know, Chinese is much too hard for a toddler to learn," she said. "You should start with something else."
"Thanks," I said. "But I think she's doing pretty well with this."
"OK," she said. "Good luck with that."
When other parents ask me for advice, I share what we've learned — all our successes and all our missteps. But I'm not in the habit of dolling out unsolicited advice. And no, even though I'm really proud of you, I don't really care to compare you to their kid. I just don't feel the need.
Everyone develops differently. You took a long time to walk, but you talk like a champ. You're one of the smallest kids on the playground, but you're pretty fearless when it comes to tackling the big kid toys. I'm certain that you'll excel at many things. And I'm sure there will be some things that you'll struggle at.
It all comes out in the wash.
But it's true that we have big expectations of you. And so I never set out with the assumption that you can't do something.
So yes, I believe you'll be reading this year. Maybe not War and Peace, but definitely Dick and Jane. And yes, that infant potty training thing worked out quite nicely, thank you very much. And yes, I'm pretty sure that your ability to learn Mandarin is only limited by how much exposure we can give you to that language.
But our love for you isn't conditional on any of those things. You don't win any more love for being bright than you would if you were the dumbest kid on the block. In fact, all you really get for exceeding our expectations are even greater expectations.
That might sound like a raw deal. And I suppose that in some ways it is.
But the way I see it, it's your own darn fault.

Dear Spike:
Someday, when you're old enough to read all these letters, you might notice a gap between April 23 and May 6 in which your father didn't write a single word for you. In the nearly three years I've been penning these letters, I've never let such a long period go by without so much as a word for posterity.
My devotion to you has not waned in these weeks, nor has your life suffered from a lack of interesting episodes, worthy of documentation and contemplation. This has simply been a busy time for me, a period in which converging deadlines at work and school have left precious little time for other pursuits.
You'll have these busy times too, one day — times in which you won't have the time or energy to visit with your dad via whatever communication technology is in vogue at the time.
And I'll understand. Everything you're mother and I are doing for you, right now, is designed to prepare you to live a healthy, independent, successful and fulfilling life. In the midst of all that, I'm sure there will be many days — and maybe many weeks — that we will not have the opportunity to communicate. I'll love you nonetheless.
Then there is that chance — slim, I hope — that I will not be there at all. One day I'll simply have written my last word for you. You'll have to take it from there. A gap of two weeks will turn into four. Four will turn to eight. And so on and so on forever. I hope that when that day comes you never feel as though I was too busy for you in the times I could have been.
You'll never suffer from a lack of my devotion or interest in your life. But if you ever feel you're suffering from a lack of attention, you are free to ask for an adjustment to our lives.
For you should never doubt that you are the most important thing in my life. And I will do my vest best never to give you reason to even contemplate it.

The Latest: Prosecutors detail how they built Manafort case
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — The Latest on testimony in the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort (all times local):
11:30 a.m.
Prosecutors are giving more insight into how they built their case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
Attorneys for special counsel Robert Mueller's team say in a court filing that an FBI forensic accountant reviewed "tens of thousands" of documents from 20 financial institutions and 35 companies to support the tax evasion and bank fraud charges against Manafort.
They say that hidden among those records were more than 200 wire transfers from more than 30 companies Manafort controlled. Among those were seven transfers the government says were sham "loans" Manafort used to disguise millions in income from the IRS.
Prosecutors laid out the details of their work in asking a judge to let them use charts to summarize the complex financial case in the fourth day of Manafort's trial.
5 a.m.
Prosecutors are heading toward the heart of their financial fraud case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Jurors are expected to hear testimony Friday that Manafort never told his tax accountants about offshore bank accounts containing millions of dollars.
The testimony of longtime accountant Philip Ayliff would build on evidence presented by special counsel Robert Mueller's team that Manafort inflated his business income by millions of dollars and kept his bookkeeper in the dark about the foreign bank accounts he was using to buy luxury items and pay personal expenses.
Bookkeeper Heather Washkuhn testified Thursday that Manafort approved "every penny" of the personal bills she paid for him and was very knowledgeable about his finances. But he never told her that millions in foreign wire transfers were coming from companies prosecutors say he controlled.

Love Bites
Last week I reported on my visit (actually a second return visit) to Nashville Nightmare, the Music City's premiere haunted attraction, for their special Valentine's Day event "Love Bites," focusing on vampires. I swear ever since I've had the song by Def Leppard stuck in my head. And speaking of that song…
If you grew up in the 80s or even into the 90s, chances are that you heard the dire warning from some church group or some parents' group that Def Leppard collectively were Satanists out to steal your soul, just like every other Rock band in the world. Unlike all those other bands, though, who resorted to backmasking their nefarious messages, Def Leppard came right out and admitted it! If you let the song "Love Bites" paly all the way through, you can clearly hear the lead singer mutter "Jesus of Nazareth, go to Hell!" I listened to it—and I heard it! Or I thought* I heard it. I heard what I'd been told to *expect* to hear.
What lead singer Joe Elliot actually says is "Yes it does. Bloody Hell!" As in, yes, love does indeed bite. Makes more sense that way, doesn't it? But sense had nothing to do with the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s.
WAYNE MILLER is the owner and creative director of EVIL CHEEZ PRODUCTIONS (www.evilcheezproductions.blogspot.com, www.facebook.com/evilcheezproductions), specializing in theatrical performances and haunted attractions. He has written, produced and directed (and occasionally acted in) over a dozen plays, most of them in the Horror and Crime genres.

We loved Samsung's characteristic bezel navigation. Instead of having to swipe your finger across the touchscreen repeatedly, all you have to do is gently twist the bezel. It's a much smoother way of scrolling through your list and it just feels more natural. The are other side buttons which lie almost flush with the side of the watch, making it difficult for them to catch on sleeves.
When you do switch to the OLED display, you are in TicWatch Pro's Smart Mode, and you can perform all of the features and functions that are available in the smartwatch. However, switching to the low-power FTSN LCD display puts the watch in its Essential Mode. The nice thing is that when you switch back to Smart Mode. all of the heart rate and steps info gathered by the watch's Essential Mode are synced up and transferred to the onboard Wear OS. As you might expect, the battery life in Essential Mode can last up to 30 days, while using the smartwatch in Smart Mode cuts that battery life down to just two days.
It has all the sensors you might want if you're an avid runner, but it goes so much further. If you're a hiker, you'll love the altimeter, air pressure read-outs, the clock showing the sunrise and sunset times, compass and the indicator of the day's tide levels. You can also download map data for use offline, meaning if you're the Bear Grylls type then you'll be well prepared.

The era of the smartwatch is upon us – just look at the multitude of colourful straps and elongated or squarish screens people are wearing. From fitness trackers like the Fitbit and Garmin to the Samsung Gear and Apple Watch, there are a host of great options to combine fitness and activity tracking and message alerts on your watch, which incidentally will still tell you the time, along with the weather and even play your favourite music.
Smartwatches are relatively new gadgets, and their features are continuously improving. Each smartwatch needs to synch to your smartphone to get enhanced features. Once linked, depending on the model of smartwatch, you can forward emails, text messages, GPS directions and more to your wrist. Some smartwatches even have built-in microphones and speakers, allowing you to make phone calls. Calls are routed through your smartphone, just like when using a Bluetooth Headset. The Samsung watch—dubbed the Galaxy Gear—also has an integrated camera, so you can snap spontaneous photos without ever picking up your smartphone. Of course, ever smartwatch also functions as a traditional digital watch when not linked to a smart device. As the technology matures, expect to see more advanced features and perhaps even complete phone functionality built in.
With technology, smartwatches have revolutionized time itself: how we use it, how we plan our routine, and how we reach our goals. A smartwatch is a way to unlock the massive possibilities all around us, improving our health and fitness, staying connected with others, organizing our life and achieving more with less time. Inspired by constant innovation and driven by customer need, powerful smart watch phone gear allows us to stay truly connected in a digital world. At GearBest, we share this same passion for cutting edge, life-enhancing technology and offer hundreds of stunning android smartwatch and iOS smartwatch models at the lowest prices starting at under $10.
None of these smart watches are necessarily waterproof but they are water-resistant. The Samsung Gear Sport is good to go so long as you don't go any deeper than 50 meters. Same for the Apple Watch. However, the Q Venture is a little more delicate and can only withstand some splashing and momentary submersion in a meter of water. In other words, the Q Venture will survive if you drop it in a sink full of water and you scoop it out almost instantly.
Apple Watch Series 3: If you are an iPhone user and generally exist in Apple's ecosystem, it makes sense to get an Apple Watch. The design quality is exceptional and the Watch makes a nice pairing with your iPhone as materials and design elements are common to both. Apple's Health app covers most of the bases when it comes to tracking your essential fitness and activity indicators - nutrition, sleep, physical exercise, but Apple has gone further with HealthKit, which allows health and fitness apps downloaded from the App Store to share data with each other. Apple has committed to Watch, and its attention to practical and eye-pleasing design as well as useful tracking features is commendable. ($529)

Finally, Wear OS has a problem that's seemingly random and hard to understand: "Can't reach Google at the moment." Having tested at least a dozen Wear OS watches, we can say that an unexplained failure when using voice commands is the most common negative trait for all of them. It's impossible for the layperson to understand which part of the watch-to-phone-to-Internet relay is falling down, but it can happen at any time, even right after you've used the watch to do something else successfully. When Google Assistant is made the center of Android watches, not being able to reach Google Assistant lowers the value of that watch considerably.
But smartwatches have the innovation advantage these days as most companies making such devices try to develop features that competitors don't have. As a result, fitness trackers have become a bit stale. And after wearing the new Charge 3 for nearly two weeks to see how well Fitbit's gentle marriage of smartwatch and tracker features turned out, it seems the form factor remains radically unchanged—but that's not a bad thing in practice.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Apple Watch requires an iPhone—if you have another kind of phone, you're out of luck. While good Apple Watch apps are better than what you get for Android smartwatches, many are still very limited compared with their phone counterparts. And it can get annoying how aggressively the Apple Watch turns off its screen (to save energy) whenever it senses you've put your arm down.
At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show, Razer released the Nabu Watch, a dual-screen smartwatch: integrates an always-on illuminated backlit display, that takes care of some pretty standard features as date and time, and a second OLED screen, which is activated by raising your wrist, allows access to extra smart features.[80] Luxury watchmaker TAG Heuer released TAG Heuer Connected, a smartwatch powered by Android Wear.[81]
The Moto 360 was the first round smartwatch we got our hands (or wrists) on, and the design was a standout, for us. It looks like a traditional watch and fits more comfortably than rectangular smartwatches, but still packs the full functionality of an advanced smartwatch. Like the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live, it runs the Android Wear OS, allowing voice commands and pushing relevant information to the wearer.
Yes, it can monitor your health and fitness. You should choose one that has a pedometer to count your steps. An accelerometer is helpful in determining acceleration. Acceleration can be used to detect when you fall. A heart rate sensor can be used to monitor your heart beats. Some will report the amount of calories you consume and even display a report of your health at day's end.
Outside of the Fossil Group, we're waiting for the Casio Pro Trek WSD-F30 and Montblanc Summit 2. The Summit 2 will be the first smartwatch to run on Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 3100 processor, which aims to make a raft of improvements including beefing up the battery life. It's also expected to be joined by a new Louis Vuitton smartwatch, which will run on that new Snapdragon chip.
Despite that, it's a very competent Android Wear 2 watch. What's more interesting, however, is the concentration on fitness.While it features all of the necessary sensors to track running, cycling and swimming, our initial testing has revealed the Huawei Watch isn't the stellar performer we hoped it would be. Which is a shame, because emphasising the fitness element was exactly the right thing for Huawei to do, and hopefully the company can improve its fitness tracking software updates.
These new smartwatches build on a pretty familiar package. Both are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor and run on Wear OS. Both also get GPS, NFC for Google Pay, and heart rate sensors as well. The Venture is the smaller of the two, measuring in at 40mm with an 18mm band. The Explorist, on the other hand, is a 45mm watch with a 22mm band.
If you're trying to decide which one is right for you, allow us to help. The Versa is smaller and looks good on most wrist sizes, while the Ionic is probably best for large wrists. The other main difference is GPS connectivity — the Ionic comes with built-in GPS, while the Versa does not. However, you can pair it with your smartphone if you don't mind bringing it with you on a run.
Wear OS comes with a focus on fitness features, but unfortunately Huawei managed to simultaneously move too far in this direction and also fall short of it. It doesn't come with a rotating side button for navigation, which is a shame as we really love the button on the LG Watch Sport. It does, however, come with great battery life and a stellar feature set otherwise.

I've had the Samsung Gear S3 classic for a few months now. There are lots of apps now available including a music app which allows you to save and play as many tracks as the sizeable built in memory will allow you to save to the watch. The in-built speaker is high quality for making and receiving calls and of course listening to music, but a Bluetooth headset makes all the difference.
Using your voice with the Google Assistant function built into the Q watches (and every modern Wear OS watch) is generally okay, though only roughly 80 percent reliable. The combination of a microphone on the side of your watch, a Bluetooth connection to your phone when you're away from Wi-Fi, your phone's cellular Web connection, and the imperfect acknowledgement of human speech by Google Assistant do not make for anything near a 100 percent success rate. When it works, Google Assistant makes you feel connected and advanced; when it fails, you can be seen as a person who asks their wrist about the capital of Malaysia. This is more a reflection of the state of connectivity and digital assistants than of the Q watches themselves—or any Wear OS watch, for that matter—although in our experience Wear OS watches fail on voice queries more often than Siri on the Apple Watch. That said, voice dictation on the Q watches is far more reliable, at least when it comes to recognizing words and phrases, than Google Assistant. If transcription fails, it's more likely to be because of the watch/phone connection than the watch mishearing your words.
Many smartwatch models manufactured in the 2010s are completely functional as standalone products.[6] Some serve as being used in sports, the GPS tracking unit being used to record historical data. For example, after a workout, data can be uploaded onto a computer or online to create a log of activities for analysis or sharing. Some watches can serve as full GPS watches, displaying maps and current coordinates, and recording tracks. Users can "mark" their current location and then edit the entry's name and coordinates, which enables navigation to those new coordinates. As companies add competitive products into the market, media space is becoming a desired commodity on smartwatches. With Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Motorola introducing their smartwatch models, 15% of tech consumers[7] use wearable technologies. This is a dense market[clarification needed] of tech consumers who possess buying power, which has attracted many advertisers. It is expected for mobile advertising on wearable devices to increase heavily by 2017 as advanced hypertargeting modules are introduced to the devices. In order for an advertisement to be effective on a smartwatch, companies have stated that the ad must be able to create experiences native to the smartwatch itself.[8]
In the same year, Microsoft announced the SPOT smartwatch and it began hitting stores in early 2004.[30] SPOT stands for Smart Personal Objects Technology, an initiative by Microsoft to personalize household electronics and other everyday gadgets. For instance, the company demonstrated coffee makers, weather stations, and alarm clocks featuring built-in SPOT technology.[31] The device was a standalone smartwatch[32] that offered information at a glance where other devices would have required more immersion and interaction. The information included weather, news, stock prices, and sports scores and was transmitted through FM waves.[30] It was accessible through a yearly subscription that cost from $39 to $59.[31]
The Sofie, on the other hand, is designed for women with jewelry inspired accents. It has a smaller 1.19 inch 390×390 AMOLED display, and a smaller casing at 42mm. As mentioned, pricing starts at $350 for either variant and goes up depending on options. Sales are available from MichaelKors.com (Grayson — Sofie) and also from outlets such as Amazon. (Grayson — Sofie)
Fossil introduced its fourth generation of smartwatches, the Q Explorist HR and Q Venture HR, upgraded versions of our current picks at the same respective prices. These editions of the watches add untethered GPS, NFC for Google Pay purchases, and heart-rate monitoring. Fossil also claims that they're waterproof enough for swimming. However, both use an aging Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 chip when a newer version is expected to arrive in September.
The style offerings for smartwatches have improved dramatically, and your options are no longer limited to "large, nerdy and round" or "large, nerdy and square." Still, even with more than 300 Fossil-branded watches planned across 14 major watch and fashion brands, smartwatches are generally much wider and chunkier than standard watches, as the size needed to accommodate the electronics and battery lends itself to bolder, more pronounced styles.
Samsung's Gear Sport is not as stylish as Fossil's Q watches, and because it runs Samsung's Tizen operating system instead of Wear OS, it has nowhere near the app support of Wear OS. But as a smartwatch that shows your phone notifications and lets you respond to them, lasts all day, and tracks your recreational workouts, it is a great device. It's not meant for competitive speed training, but it has built-in GPS and heart-rate sensing, offline Spotify storage, and a rotating bezel that's much easier to use while exercising than a touchscreen. It does suffer from weak voice transcription and a barely-there S Voice "assistant," but it fits a lot of core smartwatch functions into a relatively smart-looking package that's better for fitness-minded wearers than our top picks.

Dhiren Barot was carrying a one-day RIBA reading pass when he was arrested
Al-Qaeda terrorist Dhiren Barot used the RIBA library to research his planned attacks on targets in London and New York.
Police revealed that Barot, who has just been sentenced to 40 years in prison for plotting mass murder, was carrying a one-day reading pass to the Portland Place building when they arrested him.
It is thought he studied architectural magazines kept in the library to research the plans of buildings he wanted to attack including the New York Stock Exchange.
Barot used the images to help draw up documents setting out their lay out, security measures and access and escape routes. He planned to blow up five of the USA's most important financial institutions.
Barot, 34, received a life sentence earlier this week after admitting conspiracy to murder.


text: King Viserys #1 Posted November 24, 2013 I ranted about this a while back on a separate thread and thought it was more suited to be addressed in its own separate thread. Was Viserys truly a villain or was he simply misunderstood? I take the position that when you look at the totality of the circumstances surrounding his storyline and his past, that he was simply misunderstood. Don't get me wrong...he wasn't a cuddly character (not that any characters in this story are); but of all the characters in the story, he had the most tragic background story which is overshadowed by his extremely short arc in A Game of Thrones. Think about his story: at a young age, he witnesses/learns that his older brother (whom most of the realm revered and/or loved) was slain at the hands of a lusty usurper, his niece and nephew were murdered in a brutal fashion, and his father was stabbed in the back by one of his protectors. At this point Viserys had nothing to do with his fathers' reign, madness and persecution of commoners and nobles alike - he was by all means an innocent child. At the tender age of six or seven, he had to flee his home with his mother...why you ask? Because that lusty usurper wanted him dead for no reason other than the fact that he was the rightful heir to a kingdom that he never asked for. What happens while he is escaping Westernos? HIs mother, the only person in the world that probably loves him, dies in childbirth. Thereafter, he and his little newborn sister are smuggled into Braavos. Now think about this: as a child, Viserys knew that he was being hunted by assassins and lowlifes hell-bent on winning lands and riches. As a child he had the acumen to keep not only himself safe, but his little sister. When they ran out of money, how did he feed his little sister and himself? He didn't steal. He sold the only things he had. And for that - they called him a beggar. I call that a survivor. For years and years, he continued to evade the usurpers hired knives and keep his sister safe. Did he have a bad temper? Yes. Was he an abusive a-hole to his sister? Undoubtedly. Can you blame him given his past and the crap he had to endure? Not at all. He went through more in the first fifteen years of his life than most could endure throughout a lifetime. Now imagine this. You're a young 15 or 16 year old boy. You've been telling your little sister who, in your view, killed your mother about this wonderful home that you once lived in that was taken from you for no fault of your own. Wouldn't you want some revenge? Wouldn't you have a little bit of blood lust? Wouldn't you do anything you could to sleep one night in a house without worrying about someone slitting open your throat and raping your little sister? Could you possibly understand why a young boy would develop sub-psychotic episodes of rage? But when we are presented with Viserys, we never see the story through his eyes. No....we see it through his little ungrateful sister. Because we never see the story through his eyes and the backdrop of his tragedy, we never empathize with him - we hate him and we revile him. Danny refers to him as abusive and quick with a temper...so we hate him. Then one day, you are given a proposal: an army will aid and assist you in winning back the kingdom that was rightfully yours, and kill the usurper who murdered your brother, tore your kingdom apart, and has been hunting you down since you were a child. All you have to do is marry off the little ungrateful sister whom, without you, wouldn't have seen the age of nine months. I'd take that offer in a heartbeat - you'd be dumb if you didn't. But wait...what happens after you marry off your little sister? The leader of the army, your new brother in law, decides that he wants to take his sweet a$$ time making good on his end of the bargain. Then a little while after, someone whispers in your ear, "psssh...he'll give you a gift, when he feels the time is right and when he chooses." Given that your entire life at this point has been nothing but lies, dodging murder attempts and scraping for the bottom of the barrel, wouldn't you be frustrated and a bit skeptical? Then one night, you decide to have a little bit of Dornish wine to soak your sorrows. You have one drink, then you say, "Jesus that was good, let me have some of that stuff from Mereen." Then you want some of that "stuff" from Pentos. Before you know it, your tipsy and you start saying and doing stuff you ordinarily know you wouldn't. Now you have what I call "beer balls". You go up to the guy who did you wrong and confront him...I respect that. Now, what does your brother-in-law who owes you a debt do? Does he say, "Ohhh man, you know what, I did promise you that kingdom, my bad Bro...give me a few months. And by the way, I love your sister to death - thanks for hooking us up. She's the world to be homie." No, he has his mafia goons hold you down and pour gold over your head. All the while, the little ungrateful sister whose life you saved watches in utter amusement. To make a long story short, Viserys was the most villainized character in the book. Does his background story change your mind about him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

text: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), coming into law on the 25th of May 2018, intends to improve data protection for individuals in the EU. Over these last few weeks, we have worked hard to ensure our compliance. However, as a user of Prospect.io, are you GDPR compliant? Well.. Let's find out! In this article, I will detail and underline some important points about how and why you are GDPR compliant by prospecting and/or by sending cold emails campaigns. Prospecting and GPDR Don't worry, you are GDPR compliant by prospecting on website and linkedIn without the agreement of the person. However, the GDPR requires companies to have a "legal basis" for processing personal data about EU residents • Article 6 of the GDPR allows the collection of data without consent if you have a legitimate interest in doing the processing. • Article 6 (paragraph F) says « Processing shall be lawful only if […] processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the […] fundamental rights […] of the data subject". • The term "legitimate interest" is not clearly defined. The recital 47 of the GDPR states that a legitimate interest may provide a legal basis for processing data (except "where such interests are overridden by the […] fundamental rights […] of the data subject"). Hence, you should ask the following questions: 1. Do I have a valid legitimate interest for processing the prospect's data? 2. Does the processing of this data threaten the rights and freedoms of the individual? To sum up, if the answer to the question 1 is "yes" and the answer of the question 2 is "no" you are GDPR compliant as a legal basis for processing the data likely exists. GDPR to cold email campaigns Again, don't worry, sending cold email campaign is GDPR compliant if you send emails to people who will find their content useful. In this way, some requirements need to be fulfilled: • The topic of the email must be clearly identified. • There must be a clear way to opt out from future emails. • A genuine physical address must be included in the email. • The sender must be clearly identified. Let's develop these points. A. The topic of the email must be clearly identified. You can contact an non-client if you have a clear reason to claim that this is a contact relevant to your business purposes, and that at the same time, this contact could be beneficial to the contacted person. B. There must be a clear way to opt out from future emails. From a legal stand point: you must always allow your prospect to opt out but it doesn't need to be through a link. It needs to be clear. and when your recipients request to be unsubscribed, you must comply. We have 2 pieces of advice as an alternative to unsubscribe links: - PS in your signature: we recommend you adding a PS to your signature or a friendly mention in the content of your emails, inviting anyone not interested and wanting to opt out to let you know about it. - Set your Goal: Prospect.io will automatically stop campaigns for prospects who reply (if that is the goal you set); you just have to archive the ones who ask to be unsubscribed in order to ensure they are never contacted again. You are obliged to immediately stop contacting prospects who request their wish not to be contacted again. If a prospect of yours demands that their data gets removed from your contact lists, you are obliged to remove it (in accordance with the 'right to be forgotten'.). This is something you need to do manually by archiving them on Prospect.io. C. Genuine physical address must be included in the email. D. The sender must be clearly identified. The sender has to be clear. If the prospect is trying to contact you, it has to be easy. The email should also contain a clear and easily available information about how your prospect can request change or removal of their personal data. To sum up, the GDPR does not outlaw the use of cold emailing, as long as the emails you are sending are directed to people who will find their content useful. We will also keep updated a page dedicated to the GDPR on the website and will answer any questions by email at email@example.com.
