A good friend and I have joined in a competition. We have become part of the Largest Loser. I had no idea what I was in for! This is week 2 so we have weighed in twice after working out like I never thought that I could. I have really pushed myself and I am surprised at what I am capable of. The reason I am starting on week two is because last week was rough. Everything ached and it was difficult to even walk. This week is better but I'm still feeling it.
I am not the gym kind of girl. I don't like to run either. I have to admit, I can be lazy. I needed to make a healthy change in my life so I'm doing it and my team is helping me through it. I have a feeling this experience will be life changing and I can't wait to share it. Wish me luck.

Two Bengaluru teens have designed a sensor which can detect gas leaks and alert people in advance
As the incidents of accidental explosions and fires caused by domestic gas cylinders keeps increasing, two Bengaluru youngsters , both teenagers, have designed a sensor which can detect gas leaks and alert people in advance.
Purushottam N (14), a Class 9 student of Government High School, Uttarahalli, and his sister Shravani N (16), a first-year Pre-university Commerce student of Dayanand Sagar College, have designed the sensor to exhibit it at the college's talent search competition.
Purushottam says , "To solve the problem of accidental fires and explosions of gas cylinders, we used Arduino Uno, a micro-controller, MQ5 sensor, which exclusively senses LPG gas, LCD, a potentiometer (an instrument for measuring voltage) to increase and decrease the voltage of the LCD, and an LED and a buzzer for the output. If there is a gas leak, the LED turns red and the servomotor will turn off the cylinder automatically."
"The buzzers will also set off. Our objective is to save women, especially mothers. We would also like to integrate the GSM technology also as it will also be able to send messages, too," he adds. The teenagers' innovation gains significance from the fact that the total number of accidental deaths from cooking gas cylinder and stove explosions in India was 3,667 during 2015, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. In Karnataka, there were 359 deaths during 2015. Of the total 3,667 dead, 2,736, or 74.6 per cent, were women. The teenagers' parents -- Krishnamurthy N, an autodriver, and Kalavathi N, a tailor -- said they felt proud of their children's achievement and hoped that their innovation would help bring down the deaths due to LPG leaks.

Outwardly identical to the 14hp six-light saloon, the 18hp saloon was launched in 1949 along with the Sports of the same engine size.
The engine had only a single carburettor, but still gave 95bhp with the 6.8:1 compression ratio and managed to perform creditably in spite of its 27cwt. A specially tuned car was even timed at 105mph.
Luxuriously appointed and with plenty of power to pull its high top gear, it was sadly not a commercial success, and only 80 of these handsome saloons were made. Very few survive, and this is the only complete currently one in the Club, with two others in varying states of restoration.

I received the following from my secretary:
You're not going to believe this! Remember the couple from Virginia who wanted to rent the new Ministry Center in December for a wedding reception? Remember I joked they were probably Mennonites!! They are!
And, they asked if they could serve wine. They said, as Mennonites, they frowned on the consumption of alcohol, but felt that wine was appropriate at the reception. I e-mailed back and told them no-go on the wine. They're planning on a little band for dancing, too! Woo-hoo!
Thought you'd get a smile out of this."
For those of you who don't know...my wife Michelle grew up in the Mennonite church.
Some denominations have a little more...let's call it "variety" than others.
Does this go to show that there are a large variety of Mennonites (much like there are a large variety of United Methodists)?
This is not the first time the Mennonites have been brought up.
Here are two other times off the top of my head:
1. In our 1st service we have a time of sharing joys and concerns. One time a lady stood up and talked about how she was going back down to Florida for the winter and how she was so disappointed that the UMC no longer had a campground she went to because they sold it to the Mennonites!!! (It was a sidebar to her prayer request of safe travel...she meant nothing by it, but it did come out kind of funny). We laughed...."those Mennonites stole our land!"
2. Michelle mentioned to Mike (Sr. Pastor) and I about Mennofest, a Mennonite Music festival, which I assume in all reality is pretty similar to any other music festival, except a certain denomination is attached to it.
This got Mike and I to thinking...maybe the United Methodist Church should have their own music festival. Let's see....what could we call it to let people know it was run by the UMC. Of course, how about METHFEST! While we realized the name would probably help draw a large quantity of "unchurched" people (along with suspicious Police officers looking for a drug bust) to spread the message of Jesus Christ...we decided to put the idea on the backburner.
****This is all in good fun....don't take this too serious. Michelle gave me permission to post this, so if you are offended it's her fault!!!****

The future of water in Namibia: what might it look like, and how can we prepare for it?
28 Feb 2017 - 09:45
By Birgit Ottermann
This diverse group of stakeholders participated in a Transformative Scenario Planning workshop to discuss water security in Namibia's Omusati Region
On 15 and 16 February, stakeholders from a variety of national, regional and local institutions in Namibia, came together at Bennie's Entertainment Park & Lodge in Ongwediva to discuss the future of water in the Omusati Region, an area in the north of Namibia that is particularly vulnerable to climate change.
This important ASSAR meeting, organised by the universities of Namibia and Cape Town, and Reos Partners, was presented as a 'Transformative Scenario Planning' (TSP) workshop - a unique process whereby stakeholders collectively developed four relevant and plausible stories about the future of water for productive use in the Omusati region to 2035.
'Adapting to an uncertain future'
Reos Partners' Colleen Magner, who guided and facilitated the two-day workshop, explains:
Scenarios are useful tools for anticipating and adapting to an uncertain, unpredictable future. What is different about TSP is that it enables both adaptive responses to events outside of our control and a transformative response: the possibility that we can change the future, by identifying points for leverage amongst the factors we do have some influence in.
For the first time, representatives from institutions such as the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, Directorate Disaster Risk Management (Office of the Prime Minister), Namwater, Nampower, the Omusati Regional Council and different farmers associations and traditional authorities sat together in one room to discuss their shared concern for the water crisis and how they could potentially exercise influence to enable better adaptation in the future.
"The TSP workshop evoked a strong desire to address water scarcity and think outside the box among key stakeholders from Omusati," says Margaret Angula, lead researcher of the ASSAR project in Namibia. "The methodology is thought provoking yet practical. Participants from different institutions and governance levels were able to debate on an issue that is of most concern in their region."
Governor of the Omusati Region, Erginus Endjala
'Unblocking situations that are stuck'
The workshop was opened by the governor of the Omusati Region, Erginus Endjala, who pointed out that transformative scenarios offered a way for diverse stakeholders to together unblock situations that are polarised or stuck:
It is useful when a diverse set of people face a complex challenge that is vital to them, but that they have not been willing or able to work on together. Perhaps because they disagree on the very nature of the problem. This facilitated process combines imagination and rigour," he said.
"By using both research and practice to address the information shortfall, the primary aim of the ASSAR project is to produce future-focused and societally relevant knowledge of potential pathways to wellbeing through adaptation," he added.
As is customary in Namibia, the workshop was opened every day with a prayer by Reverend Phillipus Kashima (advisor to the Governor of the Omusati Region). There was also a translator at hand (Veiko Namwoonde, from the University of Namibia) to help clarify complex concepts by translating them into Oshiwambo, the language that is widely spoken in the region.
Launch of ASSAR drought video
The workshop also saw the official launch of ASSAR's documentary on drought in Namibia's Omusati Region. This was very well received by the participants - everyone agreed that it was a great introduction to the many challenges the local community is facing.

Brainstorming critical issues
The workshop consisted of numerous teamwork sessions during which participants could express their key concerns and share their different views and opinions. These included questions such as:
When will we start harvesting water?
How can we reduce our dependency on the Kunene River for water?
Where will we get funds to construct dams?
How can we improve the management of water resources and ensure equal access to water?
How will we ensure food security for both humans and livestock?
One of many brainstorming sessions
"When it comes to critical issues, such as water scarcity, we need this type of workshop," comments Peter Muteyauli, Deputy Director: multilateral agreements in the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. "I'm recommending that even the [Namibian] President and all other senior leaders follow this methodology so that problems will be solved faster, sustainably and comprehensively."
Silvanus Uunona, basin support officer/hydrologist at Cuvelai-Etosha Basin/Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, agrees that the TSP workshop is a very positive initiative.
" All the main stakeholders of water are represented here and collectively we are far more powerful in addressing the problem and finding possible solutions."
Michael Shinyata, environmental officer from the Outapi Town Council, says that the TSP method is very helpful in better planning for the future and improving water supply in the region. "It is time that people realise we need to make a plan for proper water harvesting or the construction of dams, otherwise we may run out of water," he adds.
Identifying key driving forces
Workshop participants identified the key driving forces that might influence the security of water in the Omusati Region. For this exercise, participants looked at a broad spectrum of social, technological, economic, environmental and political factors. These were written down on hexagon-shaped notes and shared on big posters, after which participants had the difficult task of narrowing these down to two key driving forces.
After much discussion, it was agreed that 'political will' (to invest in alternative water sources) and 'impact of drought' would be the two main driving forces they would work with. These two themes formed the building blocks that the participants would use to construct scenarios of what might happen in the Omusati Region until 2035.
Identifying the key driving forces that might influence the security of water in the Omusati Region
Four scenarios
The stakeholders were divided into four teams, each of which had to imagine a scenario based on a variation on these two main driving forces:
Participants had to to be reminded that they had to construct scenarios of what might happen (using these two driving forces) and not merely on what they believed should or would happen. Each group used flip charts, post-it notes and LEGO building blocks to construct their stories.
The workshop ended with each team presenting their imagined scenarios to the entire workshop group.
Victoria Haikali of NamWater presents her team's scenario to participants
These stories will now be collated in more detail at a writing workshop in Cape Town, which will be attended by a representative of each scenario group. Each of the scenario writers will also report back to their team members (the various stakeholders in Namibia) to ensure that their imagined scenario is accurately represented.
All stakeholders will attend a final workshop on 5 and 6 July this year, where they will develop strategic responses to the future-of-water scenarios (or stories) that they created in this first workshop.


text: Atherosclerosis is a common cardiovascular disease that involves the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. expression of the cytoskeletal protein and interrupted its interaction with farnesyl transferase. Our findings thus offer novel mechanistic insight into the protective effect of farnesyl transferase inhibitors on atherosclerosis and provide encouraging evidence for the potential use of this group of agents in inhibiting plaque neovascularization. Introduction PP121 Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is a type of cardiovascular disease that involves the build-up of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries, resulting in decreased flexibility and elasticity of these vital transports. Intraplaque neovascularization has been shown to be an essential process in atherosclerosis[1]. As one of the main characteristics of the vulnerable plaque, neovascularization has been implicated to be associated with plaque growth, leukocyte exchange and plaque instability[2]. These findings suggest that inhibition of neovascularizaton might be a therapeutic option for atherosclerosis [3,4]. However, the molecules involved in the process of neovascularizaton remain elusive. The protein farnesyl transferase is a prenylation enzyme comprised of a common regulatory subunit and a specific catalytic subunit. Farnesyl transferase recognizes proteins with a COOH terminus CAAX motif and transfers a 15-carbon farnesyl group to the C-terminal cysteine[5]. Farnesylation is a posttranslational modification that is needed for protein, such as Ras, to localize within membrane set ups[6] correctly. Earlier research demonstrated that the small-molecule substances focusing on farnesyl transferase possess the capability to prevent atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient rodents, as proved by decreased fatty ability lesion size, reduced soft muscle-like cell build up in the neointima and ameliorated oxidative tension[7]. Nevertheless, extremely small is known about the mechanism underlying the action of this combined group of compounds in atherosclerosis. Provided the essential part of intraplaque neovascularization in atherosclerosis, in this scholarly study, we wanted to investigate the potential impact of lonafarnib, a nonpeptide tricyclic farnesyl transferase inhibitor, on neovascularization. We found out that lonafarnib elicits inhibitory impact on neovascularization via disturbing centrosome impairing and reorientation endothelial cell motility. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that the catalytic subunit of farnesyl transferase PP121 interacts with a cytoskeletal proteins needed for the legislation of PP121 microtubule characteristics[8]. Furthermore, the appearance of the cytoskeletal proteins and its discussion with farnesyl transferase had been considerably inhibited by lonafarnib. Our EC-PTP results therefore help to better understand the molecular system root the protecting impact of farnesyl transferase inhibitors on atherosclerosis. Components and Strategies Components Lonafarnib and tipifarnib had been from Schering-Plough (Ny og brugervenlig, USA) and Janssen (Nj-new jersey, USA), respectively. Matrigel and antibody against MAPRE1 had been bought from BD Biosciences (Ny og brugervenlig, USA). Antibodies against -tubulin, -tubulin, HA, GST and HDJ-2 had been acquired from SigmaCAldrich (MO, USA). Sulforhodamine N (SRB) and 4, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) had been bought from SigmaCAldrich (MO, US). Glutathione Sepharose 4B beans had been from Promega (WI, USA). The mammalian appearance plasmids for GST-tagged MAPRE1 or HA-tagged Feet (including the different truncated forms) had been built by installation of each specific cDNA in framework into pEBG-GST and pCMV-HA vectors, respectively. Cell tradition Put major human being umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) had been bought from the American Type Tradition Collection (ATCC) and cultured in RPMI 1640 moderate (Gibico, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibico, USA) at 37C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% Company2. Capillary set up assay HUVECs had been seeded on 6-well dish precoated with matrigel and treated with gradient concentrations of lonafarnib. Photos later were taken 6 hours. The level of capillary set up was quantified by calculating the cumulative capillary size using the Picture M software program (NIH). Cell motility assay Confluent monolayer of HUVECs cultivated in 24-well discs had been mechanically scraped using a 20-d pipette suggestion to generate the injury. Cells had been after that cleaned with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to remove the particles, and treated with lean concentrations of lonafarnib in full tradition press to allow injury recovery. Stage comparison pictures of the twisted had been used 24.

What is STEM education?
STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach to learning which integrates the study of science, technology, engineering and mathematics into a cohesive learning paradigm. Rather than teaching the four disciplines as completely separate and discrete subjects, STEM offers an integrated approach where students are challenged to draw connections between their learning and the real-world.
STEM focuses on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively. The underlying purpose of STEM education is therefore to equip students with critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and communication skills, necessary for future success in a wide range of occupations.
On a global scale, efforts to encourage students to take up STEM subjects have been on the rise in recent years. However, Australian enrolments in almost every STEM subject area have continued to fall over the last decade. Strong performance in STEM is critical to future economic growth, encouraging curiosity and reflection in the students of today will ensure we come closer to closing the STEM skills gap in Australia.

Overall Recommendation
The PureGuardian SPA50CA Energy Light is good value for the price, as it essentially doubles as two light therapy devices. Though it does have its issues, most of them are minor or based on opinion. It can be noisy, but it has a USB charging port. Customer service for the manufacturer is excellent, so any issue you might encounter with the lamp will be addressed in a timely manner should one arise.
In my opinion, this is the lamp you would probably get the most out of; there are no bulbs to replace, two light colors, three brightness settings, and four different timer intervals. The design could be flashier but what it lacks in design, it makes up in function. This is a solid light therapy device by a well-renowned company with wonderful customer service.
- The Pure Guardian SPA 50 light therapy lamp provides bright light exposure of up to 10,000 LUX can help improve your mood, focus and energy levels.
- Full spectrum white or blue, UV free light, naturally helps beat the winter blues.
- Customize your session of light intensity, blue or white light color, and 5 to 30 minute timer.
- Compact size with adjustable tilt for easy use and includes a convenient USB to charge your phone. Portable enough to take to the office.
- LED technology eliminates the need to buy or change light bulbs.

Guardian Technologies specializes in appliances to make home happier and healthier. The PureGuardian Energy Light is their only light therapy device, as they mainly make diffusers, humidifiers, and air purifiers.
Look and Design
The lamp is 6.75 x 5 x 9.5 inches and just over a pound. The lamp sits on a small base and the light itself rotates forward and backwards on the stand. Guardian Technologies recommends sitting the lamp at a 90 degree or 70-degree angle. There are four buttons on the right side of the lamp with lights to indicate which setting is selected. The plastic used to make the lamp is thin and it does appear to be cheaply made.
The lamp looks very much like a medical device and does not seem like it would blend into most aesthetic looks well. However, it is small and compact and would travel very easily. The manual can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website and is presented in three languages.
Setup and Ease of Use
The PureGuardian Energy Light is assembled and ready to be plugged in straight out of the box. The power button turns the lamp on, and there are separate buttons for the brightness settings and the light color settings.
Though this lamp boasts 10k lux, there seems to be a 2k lux deviation – on the highest setting, the white light could be 8k lux or 12k, depending on the unit. This is something to be mindful of, but it's a pretty solid range. Unfortunately, the blue light setting only puts out between 1,400 and 3,700 lux. While this setting is easier on your eyes you would need almost three times the treatment length for it to be effective.
That said, the highest lux output is achieved at 8 inches on the highest brightness and the white light setting. Guardian Technologies recommends sitting between 12 and 16 inches from the lamp at all times.
Some customers have found that the device emits a high-pitched humming sound when on the white light setting. I heard the sound from my device but for me, it was not overwhelming enough to be more than a small issue. Guardian Technologies does offer to replace the lamp if this is something that cannot be tolerated. They are working on solving the problem and their customer service is stellar, so if this is an issue that really bothers you or occurs in your unit I am sure they would be happy to help.
Overall, this lamp works well as both a white light therapy device and a blue light therapy device, which is a pretty unique feature and will save you money if you need or want to have both on hand.
This lamp has two different colored lights, white and blue. This eliminates the need to buy two separate light therapy devices. There are three brightness settings that are usable with each light color, providing six separate light settings.
The device has a timer built-in. You can set the lamp to stay on for 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes at a time. The only drawback to this system is there is no internal memory, so there's no way to set it up to come on at a certain time. Settings will need to be reset every time the unit is turned on.
The unit features a USB charging port on the backside, allowing you to charge your phone or another device while the lamp is on. This feature is unique to this lamp. The price-point is also a bonus – it comes in at midrange for lamps of this size. With the added light color setting, it is an excellent value.
The lights inside the face of the lamp are LED and will not ever need replacing. The light is full-spectrum. The light temperature varies due to color, but it comes in at about 5,500 K for white light and 17,000 K for the blue light setting.

How Taking Up a New Hobby Can Boost Your Health
Getting active can help boost health and fitness levels for long-term health. Many people struggle to find the time to get enough exercise into their lifestyles and often it can be a chore, making exercise turn into something they actively avoid. Getting fit and healthy might seem like a daunting task, especially if you live a largely sedentary lifestyle. Being physically active means, you can enjoy a host of things without feeling tired and out of breath plus feel great about your body. Getting active is for people of all ages and encouraging it when kids are young is a great way to install healthy habits into everyday routine. A great way to enjoy fitness and to move more is to take up a hobby that helps to incorporate some exercise during your week but gives you a place to meet new people and get fit without even realising it.
So if you're looking at taking up a new hobby, take a look at how it can help boost your overall health.
Improving fitness levels
One of the main benefits of taking up a new hobby, whether it's joining a local walking club or snapping away at a photography workshop, is that you'll be getting out of the house. Even if it's a short burst of exercise or being on your feet, it can help get you moving throughout the week. Of course, it's recommended that you get about thirty minutes of moderate activity in a week to raise those heart levels to get the blood pumping, but small steps can help you get going so anything can help at the start. If you're struggling with physical pain or issues that are preventing you from getting active, considering orthopaedics treatment London is a great way to get you back to full health.
Social benefits
Starting a new hobby gives the chance to meet a vast variety of new people. The social benefits of this help you to feel confident about talking and interacting with people on a deeper level. The hobby in question is something you'll all have in common, so this will give you an icebreaker from the get-go. Meeting new people can also widen your horizons to new experiences and also bring you closer to people that you might not have interacted with ordinarily. You also might make good friends with people that you meet this way and this opens up your circle to new and interesting relationships.
Emotional and mental health benefits
Challenging yourself to something new is a great way to stimulate the brain and refresh your mind. Taking up a new hobby is an ideal for relieving stress and offering you an escape from the bustle of everyday life. Whatever the hobby is, it'll give you a chance to learn something new and enjoy the company of other people. These new and exciting experiences are perfect for getting back your spark and helping you discover talents and skills you never knew you had. So what have you got to lose, try something new today!

Meanwhile, in the world of the outernet

Good Morning Rhonda! I have read your blog for several years and enjoy it so much! I grew up frugal, and now have a comfortable retirement. Not to say that I have always been sensible,but I learned new things along the way. I thank you for the recipes you publish, I have used several and adapt others. Oh how I would love to have lemon and orange trees in my yard! We are just welcoming summer here on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, and it is a lovely day!ReplyDelete

Best strawberry season yet for me as well. Most are everbearing and are beginning to flower again. I gave them a light dose of fish fertilizer yesterday.ReplyDelete
Lettuce and radish have come and gone. Will plant more at the end of August. Just spied a few small green tomatoes on the cherry tomatoes. Flowers have just come out for my eggplant and squashes.
And, puppies!! Oh my, arent't they fun, until they're not. So true. My 90# guy sleeps the same way your Gracie does.
Looking forward to seeing the new blogs. What's the saying - give someone a fish or teach them to fish? You're definitely a teacher. Thanks so much for keeping your blog going.
Cheers, SJ in Vancouver BC
Before I even read the comment about the farmer saying it's been the best season in 45 years, I spied those strawberries and could see they were something special indeed! How lucky are you to have a strawberry farm so nearby!ReplyDelete
That dog is too cute! (even with her wicked ways 😉)
Yes, Rhonda; when our doggies set to tearing things up and exploring, it is usually our fault for not putting our things away! I, too, am guilty of that and have a more than curious Sheltie to sort things out for me. Ha! Scolding mildly is in order; but most dogs do not like harsh reprimands and will sometimes just totally ignore us when we do it.ReplyDelete
Sounds like you have your garden in hand; mine is coming along nicely too. The cucumbers are flowering and vining, the hops are twining their way up the stakes, and my potatoes are beginning to flop over now. My salad lettuces are wonderful this summer; I usually plant a "cut and come again" mix. I put in raspberries this year, so only a handful have been harvested; next year they will be established. Lemons are being picked regularly now and my apple tree is developing well. I am working on two quilts; alternately. I let the fabrics get the best of me and could not choose which I liked best; so got them both! Not so frugal I admit, but I will use them after all.
Congratulations on your Skype success. I will visit those blogs, too.
I love that you are writing for other publications - it is part of who you are. :-)ReplyDelete
Loved chatting on Skype with the other ladies Rhonda.ReplyDelete
Your veggies look so healthy.
I'm growing broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage as my 'first times.' I was only reading this morning about pruning the broccoli as it grows and cooking the leaves. I will prune a few from the bottom and see how it goes.
The way little Gracie is sleeping had me smiling. Mum and Dad have just bought home a 10 week old pup and is he keeping them on their toes. They love it though. There is such a spark in Dad's voice when he talks about little Marley.
Enjoy the strawberry farm with Jamie.
If only I could be as relaxed as your fur baby, adorable! And I like the Phrase Outernet... and so glad that you are teaching classes in Blogging and encouraging others to Blog. I have thoroughly Enjoyed being a participant in this wonderful Community in the Land of Blog, but I do notice a lot of people have been abandoning Blogging for other online outlets like Instagram. I miss so many of the Blogs that just ceased and will love discovering new ones created by new Bloggers. After Letter Writing went the way of the Dinosaurs I found that Blogging fulfilled my longing to Write and Connect with others. Dawn... The BohemianReplyDelete
Ha ha Rhonda, I knew you would never really 'retire'.ReplyDeleteReplies
I was thinking that too!Delete
Your veg and those strawberries are just lovely, Rhonda! I got some at a local farmers market that were grown at Wamuran, just up the highway near Caboolture. The farmer had been up since the crack of dawn to get them to market on what was a very cold morning. I bought a big family pack of them and we had them here for afternoon tea, with freshly made scones, and everyone said how delicious they were. There's lots of veg in our garden doing well (spinach, silverbeet, beetroot, snow peas) but not tomatoes. I've got one volunteer tomato that's sprung up so I'll see how that goes. That Gracie is a scallywag, and very cute too. Enjoy your Outernet days! Meg:)ReplyDelete
Rhonda, if you do a writing course Im firmly in.ReplyDelete
There is nothing ran like that where I am, and recieving feedback, teaching and guidance to help grow in a skill is so important. Since writing is done alone, it is hard to get that. Readers say what they like, which is wonderful. But it is difficult to get the constructive feedback which is necessary for growth, you know the technical stuff.
The scotty meet up was hilarious, Fun looking at them all and watching them all togeather - quite mad!
- Barb in Sth GippslandJuly 04, 2017 9:24 am
Your veggies make me long for summer again.. we've had a very cold snap here in Sth Gippy but now some much needed rain. Gracie is such a sweetheart. We're still missing our own beautiful boy- 10 weeks tomorrow since we lost him - but life goes on. The house does not need a sweep up nearly so often but I'd sooner have the mess & him back with us, fit and well.ReplyDelete
Have been enjoying reading back through some of your old pages - makes me realise I could do more, but slow & steady. Will look forward to maybe a few new blogs to look at in the near future. Craft group for me today - knitting myself a sweater in a cheerful magenta colour - just right to brighten up a winter's day. Enjoy your lovely grandson & the strawberry picking.
Hello Rhonda, I so love to catch up on all of your goings on.ReplyDelete
Everything looks so vibrant up there. Here winter has really set in and everything is wet and muddy. Funny to think that you have tomatoes and strawberries now when ours won't be back til January. I hope you have a gorgeous day with Jamie and the strawberries, we've got a house full of 13 year old giggling girls for the week, I'm not sure I'll get anything done at all. Can't wait to visit all those new blogs.
Lots of love xxxxReplies
I hope you get a few sunny days, Kate. A dark winter is depressing. I think I'd like a house full of giggling girties occasionally. Maybe we could swap the girls for a little Scottie. Even stevens. :- ) xxxDelete
Hi RhondaReplyDelete
I am just starting the road to learning the ways of vegetables and am loving it. I love seeing you photos as it gives me inspiration. If you do run a writers course I'm in.
I share your joy and frustration with the furbabies. I was given an antique rocking chair from my neighbour just as he was taking it to the tip. I had it restored and it was glorious and well worth the cost. However my then small papillion/chihuahua pups decided to recycle the rockers a teething rings! I was not happy at the time but now 10 yrs on I see the chewed places and smile as it brings back the memories of 2 naughty little terrors who now are just the best company.
I am going out and buying strawberries!Yum
I really enjoyed reading your post Rhonda and what really jumped out at me was that you have been growing Daikon. Now that I have started fermenting,I need to research how to grow it. If you have time one day, although you are so busy, I would enjoy reading a little more about how to grow Daikon in Queensland. I live in Mackay. I'll look forward to reading your article in PIP. I'm sorry I couldn't take advantage of your Skype sessions, but pleased it went so well. Pauline.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pauline, I think it's too hot to grow daikon in Mackay. We can only grow it here in winter. It doesn't like warm days and will bolt to seed over about 23 - 24. If you want to try it, it's really easy to grow. Just plant seed in well draining soil. It will take about 8 - 10 weeks from seed to harvest. It doesn't like heavy soil and it needs watering a few times a week. The chooks will eat the green tops.Delete
had good chuckle at the naughty HRH Grace! made my day.ReplyDelete
your gardens look amazing! i have a couple of rogue tomatoes that have popped up with all this warm weather too, the chooks love them! we had a light frost here on sunday, was quite surprised as it wasn't that cold.
glad your blogging class went well, look forward to reading the new blogs.
have a great week & enjoy your 'outernet' with Jamie & Gracie
thanx for sharing
selina from kilkivan qld
Cute story about Grace, and the picture of your strawberries makes my mouth water! I've been following your blog for years and have enjoyed both of your books. Thank you so much for all you do.ReplyDelete
Your garden looks great, strawberry season is my favorite. Gracie is so sweet.ReplyDelete

Always find your articles interesting!! Thanks!! Good thing you mentioned strawberries...made me realize I somehow did not get inside with them a bit ago...well, of course, the 2 guys at Trader Joe's felt they ought to be placed UNDERNEATH the corn on the cob I bought...oh yea, good place...well obviously not the brightest pennies on the block...maybe I need to be sure I only let women wait on me there in future...those who cook have a few ideas in their head maybe!!ReplyDelete

Dear Rhonda, You are the exact person to write an online writers course judging by your talented writing here and in your books. Your style, expertise and Knowledge would be priceless. Still loving your blog and your new Gracie is adorable, sorry I don't comment more often but your blog is one of the few I always read. Lors xxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Lors. I hope life is treating you kindly. xxDelete
Thank you Rhonda for all the work you have put into the blogging course for us. It has been exactly what I had hoped it would be. And your story about Gracie had me laughing! I've got a mischievous ginger kitten who must think he is half dog as he is chewing everything! My daughter and I had carefully put together party bags for her recent birthday party and when we came downstairs the next morning he had chewed the tops of 2 bags! They had to go to the cat loving girls who we knew would understand!ReplyDelete
Hi Rhonda, I really enjoyed the Skype session on blogging. I will take the writer's course, too. (If you do it.) You are such an excellent teacher. It was amazing to be able to see and hear you all the way in Australia, when I am in California. Your garden photos are incredible. Lucky Sunny!ReplyDelete
Hi Rhonda! I was a short-time member of your forum. Was sad to see it go, but understand completely. Just wondering if you know where the other forum members went (other online forums, etc.)? I'm searching for "simple living" forums to join, but none seem as good as yours was. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Another forum was set up by a group of the members but I've not been there and now I don't have the link for it. Check back here in a day or two because someone might come along who knows.Delete
Will do, thanks.ReplyDelete
I'm so excited to hear you are writing for PIP magazine! Can't wait to read your articles RhondaReplyDelete

text: 马丁·路德·金(公元1929—1968年),美国黑人律师,著名黑人民权运动领袖.一生曾三次被捕,三次被行刺,1964年获诺贝尔和平奖.1968年被种族主义分子枪杀.他被誉为近百年来八大最具有说服力的演说家之一.1963年他领导25万人向华盛顿进军"大游行",为黑人争取自由平等和就业.马丁·路德·金在游行集会上发表了这篇著名演说. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.100年前,一位伟大的美国人——今天我们就站在他象征性的身影下——签署了《解放宣言》.这项重要法令的颁布,对于千百万灼烤于非正义残焰中的黑奴,犹如带来希望之光的硕大灯塔,恰似结束漫漫长夜禁锢的欢畅黎明. But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition. 然而,100年后,黑人依然没有获得自由.100年后,黑人依然悲惨地蹒跚于种族隔离和种族歧视的枷锁之下.100年后,黑人依然生活在物质繁荣翰海的贫困孤岛上.100年后,黑人依然在美国社会中间向隅而泣,依然感到自己在国土家园中流离漂泊.所以,我们今天来到这里,要把这骇人听闻的情况公诸于众.In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.从某种意义上说,我们来到国家的首都是为了兑现一张支票.我们共和国的缔造者在拟写宪法和独立宣言的辉煌篇章时,就签署了一张每一个美国人都能继承的期票.这张期票向所有人承诺——不论白人还是黑人——都享有不可让渡的生存权、自由权和追求幸福权. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. 然而,今天美国显然对她的有色公民拖欠着这张期票.美国没有承兑这笔神圣的债务,而是开始给黑人一张空头支票——一张盖着"资金不足"的印戳被退回的支票.但是,我们决不相信正义的银行会破产.我们决不相信这个国家巨大的机会宝库会资金不足. 我们来到这块圣地还为了提醒美国:现在正是万分紧急的时刻.现在不是从容不迫悠然行事或服用渐进主义镇静剂的时候.现在是实现民主诺言的时候.现在是走出幽暗荒凉的种族隔离深谷,踏上种族平等的阳关大道的时候.现在是使我们国家走出种族不平等的流沙,踏上充满手足之情的磐石的时候.现在是使上帝所有孩子真正享有公正的时候. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.忽视这一时刻的紧迫性,对于国家将会是致命的.自由平等的朗朗秋日不到来,黑人顺情合理哀怨的酷暑就不会过去.1963年不是一个结束,而是一个开端.Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.如果国家依然我行我素,那些希望黑人只需出出气就会心满意足的人将大失所望.在黑人得到公民权之前,美国既不会安宁,也不会平静.反抗的旋风将继续震撼我们国家的基石,直至光辉灿烂的正义之日来临.But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.但是,对于站在通向正义之宫艰险门槛上的人们,有一些话我必须要说.在我们争取合法地位的过程中,切不要错误行事导致犯罪.我们切不要吞饮仇恨辛酸的苦酒,来解除对于自由的饮渴.We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.我们应该永远得体地、纪律严明地进行斗争.我们不能容许我们富有创造性的抗议沦为暴力行动.我们应该不断升华到用灵魂力量对付肉体力量的崇高境界.The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. 席卷黑人社会的新的奇迹般的战斗精神,不应导致我们对所有白人的不信任——因为许多白人兄弟已经认识到:他们的命运同我们的命运紧密相连,他们的自由同我们的自由休戚相关.他们今天来到这里参加集会就是明证.We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.我们不能单独行动.当我们行动时,我们必须保证勇往直前.我们不能后退.有人问热心民权运动的人:"你们什么时候会感到满意?"只要黑人依然是不堪形容的警察So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. 因此,我们来兑现这张支票.这张支票将给我们以宝贵的自由和正义的保障.We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.暴行恐怖的牺牲品,我们就决不会满意.只要我们在旅途劳顿后,却被公路旁汽车游客旅社和城市旅馆拒之门外,我们就决不会满意.只要黑人的基本活动范围只限于从狭小的黑人居住区到较大的黑人居住区,我们就决不会满意.只要我们的孩子被"仅供白人"的牌子剥夺个性,损毁尊严,我们就决不会满意.只要密西西比州的黑人不能参加选举,纽约州的黑人认为他们与选举毫不相干,我们就决不会满意.不,不,我们不会满意,直至公正似水奔流,正义如泉喷涌.

Today, we are going to increase our protective stop on Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR).
Last Monday, we exited the first half of our Juniper April 2017 $27 call options for a 59% gain. We followed that up by placing a stop to protect a 10% gain on our remaining position.
Well, that option has continued to rally — and today we're up more than 100%!
So let's increase our stop to preserve a 75% gain, a much better return than the 10% we were originally looking to capture.
If you have that standing 10% protective stop, you can simply edit it to preserve a 75% gain instead. Be sure to also set your stop at whatever nets you a 75% gain based on your individual entry price. Our official entry is $1, so our stop to protect a 75% gain will be set at $1.75.
Here's your action to take.

Portfolio Update
Last week, we set a 75% stop-loss order on our Western Digital Corporation call options to preserve our capital.
Those calls failed to turn higher, so our stop was triggered, closing our position for a 75% loss. If your stop didn't trigger for any reason, go ahead and exit this position at the market.
A losing trade is never fun — but we'll look to make up for this rare loss in our upcoming trades.
In fact, we're set to enter another call option soon based on an earnings announcement from a couple weeks ago. And there are a total of 11 more possible trades this earnings season, so our trades could rev up as we enter these last weeks of the season.
You will want to pay close attention to your inbox.
Until next time, good trading…

Back in 1983, Kevin Hickman was a former policeman turned private detective.
He was asked to investigate a resthome fire in Christchurch, and Kevin did not like what he saw.
"The fire was in an old villa and there were four people to a room all with shared toilets,'' Kevin recalls.
"To me it was crazy, the standards were so poor. But that's how resthomes were in those days.''
Kevin would never dream of putting his mother into a place like that if she needed to go into care.
"I thought, what would I want for Mum?"
"I'd want a single room, with an attached ensuite. Not a shared ensuite, because that creates enormous problems.''
Furthermore, care had to be better than anywhere else.
And so, Ryman's philosophy that care has to be "good enough for Mum" was born.
John Ryder was Kevin's business partner. John was an accountant, and together they made a dynamic pair.
Ryman – a combination of Ryder and Hickman – Healthcare was registered and they bought their first property to convert into a resthome in 1984.
More than 30 years later, Ryman Healthcare has grown to become the largest retirement village operator in New Zealand, and a trusted operator in Victoria.
The retirement living options Ryman provides range from independent living apartments and townhouses through to serviced apartments, as well as low care, high care and specialist dementia care.

MARKS & Spencer has defended a line of its luxury chocolate biscuits after a customer discovered that they appeared to be traditional custard creams in disguise.
Peter Marshall, 25, from the Isle of Man, made the discovery after dunking the treat from a box of M&S Extremely Chocolatey biscuits in a cup of hot milk.
As the chocolate melted away, he was bemused to discover the words "custard cream" within the trademark diamond shape of the family favourite.
He posted a picture of the biscuit on his Instagram account with the caption: "Marks and sparks are a bunch of cheapskates."
Mr Marshall reportedly said: "I was dunking biscuits into hot milk and as the chocolate melted away I noticed that the base of one of the biscuits was actually a custard cream.
"I've always held M&S in quite high regard when it comes to food, and finding out that they were using a more common biscuit as a base was a bit of a shock."
He said he would not be making a formal complaint and the episode had not put him off buying M&S biscuits in the future.
M&S assured customers that the biscuits were in fact a luxury offering, and the wording underneath the chocolate was simply down to the mould used to make the line.
A spokeswoman said: "Customers can rest assured the biscuits remain our own luxury recipe covered in milk chocolate.
"They are simply made using the same mould as a custard cream."

No payment This week so farPayment Created 1 year ago | Updated 1 year ago
EsEsohwode s S
Please i have not been paid this week so far it has been apologies and promises since on Monday and 2 different payment circle has gone without payment. How possibly can i do business effectively without access to my fund.Please if Kongapay is no longer active kindly let me know for other possible payment method. hope to receive payment before the end of today
EsEsohwode s SPosted 1 year ago
@ Teju you claimed it was due to the public Holiday that was why Thursday payment was not effected and yesterday's was equally not successful probably because the traffic was so much on resumption from the Public Holiday. But be reminded that merchants did not made this new payment circle with konga nor were they consulted on their opinions before you finally changed the system. You are suppose to be paying on Monday , but since this system your payment has always been Tuesday and Friday Respectively . If you were Fidel with your words, all pending payments were suppose to be paid on Thursday before the Public Holiday on Friday. Similarly , my overdue payment did not just start last week Thursday, but on the 10th being Monday last week,i was told on Tuesday when i called that i will be paid on that day, it was still the same old story. or was there any public Holiday that affected payment as well last week Monday? Seriously what Konga is doing is very unfair . I hope you tomorrow becomes your tomorrow this time because with you, your tomorrow never ends. i Hope konga change to old ways.
tFteju F Konga ModeratorPosted 1 year ago
Dear all, We apologize for the delay in payment remittance. Due to the public holidays between last week Thursday and this Tuesday which hampered various banking operations, payments were unable to be completed. Please be assured payment remittance will commence today and by tomorrow, all outstanding payments will have been completed across affected stores. Thank you for your understanding.
Emiola A SPosted 1 year ago
it very sad that Konga is not straight forward with sellers payment and i began feeling uncomfortable to ship orders out of my store, because putting effort and money on business to please customers it all come waste of time, resource, energy, sometimes i keep asking myself: (is Konga having financial issues?) or they got money invested in MMM too? since the new law of this 2 times weekly payment! i believe something is not right! Banks payout a lot of millions out to people everyday, they never complain network problem. and this money is my right and is your right, is all sellers right to collect there money, what did Konga want from seller, we paid monthly subscription when it due every month and you still charge yours 12.5% from on every single order from sellers! We all need explanation for this unbearable punishment for our money! may be we should involve Government in this issue if it continue like this. I hope Konga put stop to this as soon as possible, because you don't know how far people can go for there right!!!!!
ooopesan o BPosted 1 year ago
is there any possibility of payment if a seller opts out of konga pay. just wondering as payment has not been done for some weeks now.
EsEsohwode s SPosted 1 year ago
Thank you Emiola , i assuredly thought i am alone on this. the worst part konga feel indifferent about the whole thing. for good 3 different payment circle since on the 10th i have not received payment. No messages and when you complain you get one robotic reply. To be fair to Konga, doing business on Konga now one has to use a long spoon.Despite all the challenges , all they do daily is to create one law or the other without fist tackling the issue at hand. Each time they claim network glitch,so it made me wondering if they are the only one using NIBSS. i am reallyhas disappointed as my sales has dropped from previous month by over 200% because i had to pause many of my items
Emiola A SPosted 1 year ago
well@ Esohwode.... you are right, no money since last week and have decide to stop shipment of orders out of my store, Because i cant borrow money from my enemy to run my busines bcos Konga didnt pay at due time. or transportation to drop orders at KOS office. if konga cancel it, be my guest, is time for seller to have there own rules and regulations, NO PAYMENT! NO SHIP OUT OF ORDERS
Howdy, Stranger!It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, login with your konga credentials!

The Last Ember
Daniel Levin
Riverhead, Aug 6 2009, $25.95
Until the accident that killed his best friend and kicked him out of Rome's American Academy, Jonathan Marcus wanted to become a field archeologist. Filled with guilt and remorse, he studied law and became an attorney with a suit representing some of the most scurrilous rogues in the fine arts.
He is sent to Rome to destroy the reputation of a U.N. antiquities expert. There he meets his girlfriend from the Academy Dr. Emili Travia, whom he never forgot. She is searching for the legendary two millennia old Tabernacle Menorah stolen from King Herod's great Jerusalem Temple and brought to but lost in Rome. The sacred Menorah is allegedly to be eight feet of pure gold. Muslim Sheik Salah ad-Din searches for the precious menorah too, but if he obtains it, he will melt it down for the gold and even more so for religious reasons.
This is a terrific Brownian like religious thriller that never slows down once defrocked archeologist Jonathan returns to Rome and never looks back until the thrilling finish. The cast is solid and believable while the action is unabated but interweaved with historical information. Daniel Levin provides an exciting tale that will have readers breathless throughout.

Do Touch! I Dare You! by Nicole Maubert
See me? FEEL me? Double-dog dare you to!
Who is brave enough to touch a large, hairy spider, hanging from his web?
How DOES it feel? (Fluffy and fuzzy, actually.)
Okay. That wasn't so bad. Now I dare you to touch the sticky, pink tongue of a slinky snake.
OOOH! It IS sticky! Maybe even YUCKY!
Would you tickle a monster's scaly belly?
Not so bad! (A bit like sandpaper, really.)
How about lifting the covers and see what kind of critter is hiding under that bed?
I Dare You! (Chronicle Books) by Nicole Maubert tests the daring of youngsters in her Touch & Feel book, which delivers some pretty memorable tactile experiences. The best one is a a pop-up double-page spread with a wolfish creature with a toothy snout which, when the book is partly opened and closed, is capable of giving a reader's finger a tangible cardboard chomp. Maubert's supposedly scary critters are quite inventive and her feely surfaces do not disappoint, but she saves her last surprise for a double-page spread which offers, she says, the last big scary dare--three mirrors for the young reader to see how TRULY scary he or she can be.
This popular "toy and movable book" offers a good lead-in to the stuff of the scary season ahead of us, and the book itself makes a great treat alternative for the treat bucket.

Etsy Treasury
I am so chuffed to have been featured in my first Treasury, thanks to Andrea Farmer. I am featured in one of the newly created "Treasury West" treasuries, which I think are a temporary feature on Etsy.
The treasury will expire on Tuesday 9th February sometime in the evening, UK time, so if you read this post after that time, and can no longer see the page by clicking on the title link of this post, here's a screen shot of the Treasury.
The treasury is named "Small is beautiful" and also features one of Andrea's latest ethereal landscape paintings, "Blue Hills" which is a lovely painting on paper, plus a limited edition giclee print by another of my artist colleagues, Peter Williams - one from a set entitled "Horses/Western". You can see more of Peter's works on his personal website here.
Oooh, how I'm loving all these new sites!

|The Anaya Group Approach:
The Anaya Group believes every positive change must address and, ultimately, provide trade-offs amongst the following key elements:
|At the outset of our engagement, these key elements must be understood by the stakeholders and every effort made to define specific measurements of success and the linkage between customer needs, business objectives, and functional goals.
To facilitate this approach, The Anaya Group believes in establishing a masterplan and governance for the engagement. This master plan will provide the vision, objectives, goals, key transformation questions, initiatives, dependencies, constraints, and timelines for the engagement.
The Anaya Group also believes in the need for cross-functional, professional teams that work in a highly collaborative basis. Moreover, the early involvement of all key stakeholders will be critical to the success of the change management process.
From the creation of the vision to the solution development and delivery, The Anaya Group believes in providing business leadership. However, this hands-on approach may vary for each initiative based on client needs, but the underlying principle is the same we will work together to meet your business leadership initiatives.

Few commodities capture the attention of both the investment community and the general public like oil. Since the 54% decline that began on June 20 2014, commentary regarding expectations of future oil prices, as well as the implications across the global economy, industries, and – most importantly – investment positioning, has captivated investors. While many investment firms have felt compelled to issue immediate and frequent opinions on the dislocation in oil prices, we believe a more deliberate and patient approach yields greater data points from which more thoughtful conclusions may arise.
The purpose of this report is to leverage City National Rochdale's ability to synthesize and distill independent third-party research, sell-side research, economic data, and industry-specific analysis into an objective, accessible, and actionable investment analysis addressing the impact of crude oil prices for our clients. Our observations specifically highlight:
- Historical Parallels: A balanced market is achieved through supply and demand. Understanding the primary cause of price corrections in the past along with the behaviors and actions of key participants provides valuable context in terms of identifying the most critical factors needed to drive a balanced market. Our examination of oil price history suggests that the period from 1985 – 1986 is most analogous to 2014 – 2015, with the resulting implications that (1) excess supply is the overwhelming contributor to the price shock, and (2) rationalization of Non-OPEC supply – specifically U.S. Light Tight Oil (LTO) – is the primary pathway to a balanced market.
- Macro Analysis: Economic analysis suggests a net positive to global growth, but the ramifications of lower oil prices will not be uniform. Of the major net oil-importers, we expect India and China to benefit the most, followed by the United States, Eurozone, and Japan. Net oil-exporters such as Saudi Arabia, Norway, UAE, and Kuwait have fortress-like capital reserves to withstand a prolonged period of low oil prices, while Venezuela and Nigeria seem to be at most financial risk.
- Oil Market Recovery Outlook: Economic development in a number of emerging markets, discoveries of new energy sources, and technological advances related to extraction techniques have all greatly influenced the supply and demand balance. Despite a seemingly modest supply overhang of 1.0 million barrels per day (mmbd) and pronounced decline in U.S. rig count, we expect a "U"-shaped recovery as opposed to the demand-driven "V"-shaped recovery that characterized 2008 – 2009. We attribute this expectation to the reduced likelihood of the "Call on China" that drove oil demand from 2002 – 2014, shift to market-based pricing as opposed to cartel, operational flexibility unique to U.S. LTO, and access to derivatives.
- Investment Positioning: We favor Integrated Oil & Gas (IOG), Top Tier Oilfield Services, and Midstream Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) equities while finding relative value within Investment Grade IOG issues. We also believe the High-Yield Exploration & Production sector may eventually offer investors an attractive risk/reward scenario to participate in a potential upswing in oil prices.

Concentrating assets in a particular industry, sector of the economy, or markets may increase volatility because the investment will be more susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory, and other factors affecting that industry or sector compared with a more broadly diversified asset allocation.
There are inherent risks with equity investing. These risks include, but are not limited to stock market, manager, or investment style. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices.
There are inherent risks with fixed income investing. These risks may include interest rate, call, credit, market, inflation, government policy, liquidity, or junk bond. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall.
Investments in below-investment-grade debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality, commonly known as "junk bonds" or "high-yield securities," may be subject to increased interest, credit, and liquidity risks.
Investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) are susceptible to concentration risk, illiquidity, exposure to potential volatility, tax reporting complexity, fiscal policy and market risk. Investors of MLPs are subject to increased tax reporting requirements. MLP investors typically receive a complicated Schedule K-1 form rather than Form 1099. MLPs may not be appropriate investments for tax-advantaged accounts because of potential negative tax consequences (Unrelated Business Tax Income).
Investments in commodities can be very volatile and direct investment in these markets can be very risky, especially for inexperienced investors.
High short-term performance of this strategy is unusual and investors should not expect such performance to be repeated.

Obsessive crafting tendencies
First off I know I've not been around much in the last two months. It's a combination of work and blues - with the blues caused by work. As a teacher I expect to get some grief as teenagers are a bundle of hormones. However a little while ago I was the victim of an unprovoked attack by a pupil I don't teach. Wrong place, wrong time. I always thought I was strong but this flattened me and it took me awhile to actually admit how badly it affected me and deal with the stress. I'm better now and getting back to crafting. Which brings me to the title of this post. I seem to suffer from obsessive crafting - I find something I enjoy and get totally hooked. At the moment it's quilting and I am now immersed in fabrics. Does anyone else suffer from obsessive craft tendencies?
1 comment:
Sorry to hear something so horrible has happened to you. I can imagine how all consuming it is, when my daughter died quite frankly i wanted to stop breathing but somehow my body overruled me and it just kept going, I never expected "hope" to enter back into my life but gradually it did and life does have happiness and meaning again. I truly hope your bad experience will become just a moment in your history..ReplyDelete
...and the answer to your question....YES....I have jewellery making calling to me at the moment, but I am trying not to listen and I still love my paper crafting so there are just not enought hours in the day!!!!!!!!
P.s.....have bought all the jewellery making stuff just in case tho :0)

Trump's potshots at yuan on campaign trail unlikely to escalate into full currency attack, say experts
Related topics
When Donald Trump called China the "greatest" currency manipulator 3 ½ months ago, few in Beijing bothered to respond to his comments. At the time, Trump appeared to have a slim chance at taking the White House, and promises and threats made on the campaign trail are often neglected when the dust settles.
Now, with Trump's surprising victory in the US election, Beijing will have to take his comments regarding the yuan seriously and prepare for a scenario where he might ask the US Treasury to label China as a currency manipulator.
"Trump's comments on issues like the yuan lack credibility – he was talking wildly," said Yuan Zheng, an expert on US affairs at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. "But he surely has a tendency towards protectionism, and he will do something [about the exchange rate] after he assumes the presidency."
Yuan rallies as US dollar dragged down by fears of a Trump victory
The grumbling out of Washington about the yuan is nothing new. Complaints about the exchange rate started about a decade ago with a succession of US Treasury secretaries taking aim at the renminbi – John Snow, Henry Paulson, Timothy Geithner and Jack Lew all pressed Beijing during their term to adopt a market-decided exchange rate and reduce intervention.
Despite repeated threats, the US has never officially labelled China a currency manipulator, a step that could lead to blanket restrictions on Chinese trade.
And although Trump has fired a warning shot, he is unlikely to take any immediate action.
"A currency manipulation charge will take quite a long time. The Treasury needs to talk to China, which it has actually been doing," said Julian Evans-Pritchard, a China economist with research house Capital Economics. In the short term, the Trump win could benefit China if the Fed delays an interest rate rise, he said. "Dollar weakening is quite good for China to manage its exchange rate."
The yuan strengthened significantly as the US dollar index briefly dropped 2 per cent on Wednesday, only for the yuan to weaken again after the greenback gained ground.
China not a currency manipulator: Obama Treasury Department
Pan Xiangdong, chief economist at China Galaxy Securities, said Trump had a host of matters to decide before taking office in January and the yuan was not a top priority.
Xie Yaxuan, chief macro analyst of China Merchants Securities, pointed to the gap that has traditionally existed between what candidates say and the policies they eventually introduce. The US and China were already tightly bound together, Xie said.
"The interconnected trade relations amid globalisation and their common interests mean further economic cooperation rather than confrontation," Xie said.
"A Trump presidency would lower the likelihood of a rate rise by the Federal Reserve in December", which would help Beijing manage capital outflows and defend the yuan, Xie said.

The performance may also be cancelled between 5.00pm and 7.30pm, or even after the show has commenced.
