EXCERPT "… We are especially concerned about the way recent trends in enforcement of non-existent prohibitions on photography and filming are affecting members of the press.
This document is not intended to be an exhaustive examination of all laws as they pertain to photography and filming. The issue is complicated and depends to some extent on laws that vary from province to province and municipality to municipality.
Subject to certain very limited constraints, it is not a crime in Canada for anyone to do any of the following things, and it is a violation of their Charter rights to prevent anyone from doing so:
– photographing or filming in any public place, or in any private place to which the public is admitted, and publishing those pictures and films,
– taking pictures of or filming in any government site other than "restricted access areas"*
– photographing or filming police officers in public, as long as the photographer/filmmaker does not obstruct or interfere with the execution of police duties. While everyone has a reasonable expectation of privacy in certain circumstances, police officers have no reasonable expectation of privacy as they go about their duties.
A police officer does not have the right to confiscate cameras or recording equipment (including phones), unless the person in possession of such equipment is under arrest and such equipment is necessarily relevant to the alleged offence. A police officer cannot force anyone to show, unlock or decrypt cameras or recording equipment, or to delete images, even when that person is under arrest, unless the police officer has a warrant or a court order permitting him to do so.
At no time, and under no circumstances, is anyone in Canada subject to arrest for the simple act of taking a photograph or filming, although he or she can be arrested if he or she is breaking another law in the process, such as, for example, trespassing or breaking or entering.
Other laws and legislation, including the Criminal Code, the Copyright Act, the Security of Information Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), must be obeyed while taking or publishing pictures…."
Except – "…When McFadden first showed up in Yellowknife, people didn't know what to make of him. He carried a big city sense of journalistic duty to a place smaller than his hometown of Orangeville, Ontario; 20,000 vs 27,000. He gained readers quickly, but made enemies just as fast. It was the RCMP who jumped the line; banning him from news conferences, forcibly removing the writer from the courthouse in an episode that resulted in the Justice department compensating him for torn clothes. But most profoundly, it led to the Mounties challenging McFadden after he criticized the force for refusing to alert the public when sexual predators were released from prison, even though it's a policy that was changed after the reporters' protests. … This was merely a prelude, however, to what happened last July in Yellowknife outside the Black Knight pub, where McFadden was cuffed, thrown in a police cruiser and hauled off to the cells, where he was kept for a number of hours after being charged with obstruction of police, an offence related to pictures he was taking of a van that the police were tearing apart in one of the city's busiest downtown neighbourhoods. McFadden claims that he was not obstructing police procedure, while the cops—three of whom were questioned on the stand a few weeks ago at the beginning of the most sensational trial in Yellowknife in the last decade—insist that he was inside the van, or "breaking the plane," in the words of one of the officers. If the three policemen who testified produced varying accounts of the incident, one thing was consistent: McFadden, who emerged from the Black Knight after midnight to investigate the nature of the police operative (centred around the van's stolen plates and the identification of the vehicle's owner, a very drunk man who immediately complied with the search), was portrayed as a person who was "yelling and screaming" and creating havoc as he approached the van. The presence of the reporter might have been alarming to the constables, but it was one in which most Yellowknifers, by this point, have become familiar. You heard him, and you knew who it was. You either turned around or charged forward, depending on what kind of night you were looking to have. .."

"…This week, Ron Haviv described to me the first time one of his photographs changed history.
The acclaimed war photographer was surrounded by his life's work, which is now on exhibit in New York's Anastasia Photo gallery. At age 23, Haviv took a photograph of supporters of Panamanian dictator General Manuel Noriega beating the country's recently elected opposition vice president.
What is striking about the image is not just the crimson blood covering the man's shirt. It is the Panamanian soldier standing a few feet away—doing nothing to protect him. The photograph appeared on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report. Months later, President George H.W. Bush cited the riveting image in his speech justifying the U.S. invasion of Panama…."

"…In particular, we wish to state that it is not a criminal offence for individuals to photograph or film police officers as they go about their duties, and that police officers are not allowed to confiscate a person's camera or recording equipment (including phones), force them to delete images, or otherwise prevent them from taking photographs or filming in public places. We also wish to clarify the law when it comes to taking pictures or filming on private property that is open to the public. People are welcome to take pictures or film in malls, transportation centres, and the like, unless posted signs specifically prohibit it, or until they are requested to desist by a representative of the owners of the property. In such an instance, though the owners or their representatives (such as a security guard) are within their right to request a halt to any further photographic activities, they have no legal right to force the deletion or destruction of photos that have already been taken. The publication of these photos is a separate issue and may be affected by other applicable laws.

"… When the NWT's Deh Cho Bridge opened just two years ago, on November 29 2012, it brought to a close over 50 years of crossing the Mighty Mackenzie by ice bridge and ferry. Here is a book for anyone who has ever floated on or driven across Canada's longest river.
Bridging the #Dehcho chronicles the history, colour and drama of the Mackenzie River Crossing at Fort Providence. From the days of the ancient Dene to the establishment of the community in 1870, to the arrival of the highway in 1960 and completion of the Deh Cho Bridge in 2012, the book also paints a contemporary portrait of the historic community of Fort Providence today.
The hardcover, 92-page book presents over 200 photos and illustrations with principle photography and writing by Yellowknife author Bill Braden, and an opening essay by adventure writer Jamie Bastedo. It is published by the Government of the NWT, Department of Transportation, to commemorate the project.
The public is invited to the official launch at the Fort Providence Community Hall on Wednesday Dec 3 at noon, with Transportation Minister Tom Beaulieu, Deh Cho MLA Michael Nadli and author Bill Braden. The book will go on sale (suggested retail $30) that day the Big River Service and Snowshoe Crafts in Fort Providence, and at the Yellowknife Book Cellar and Northern Frontier Visitors Centre.

By Cath LeiI remember my fifth grade teacher telling me about how she loved art - loved, loved, loved it. I've been wondering what love means - is it a concept? Is it real? The scientist knows it to be a mixture of chemicals, the writer knows it to be anything and everything, the child knows it to be the way their mothers tuck them in bed at night, the astronomer knows it to be the stars - it's always the stars.
So, to ask me would be...not a good idea, because I am a writer, and writers know love to be anything and everything. But, from the mind of a person - this is what I think love is.
I broke up with my first boyfriend in freshman year of high-school, where most relationships lasted just slightly longer than middle school ones. For a while, I was...not devastated, but not perfectly fine either. The fine line that used to define these two different moods began to smudge, until it was just a transitioning color, a slightly darker shade of red between lighter shades of red.
At the time, I thought love was violent shades of red. Bright lipstick, holding hands, and beating hearts - I still do, but there's something more.
It's new beginnings and closed chapters; knowing where things end and where they start. It's knowing that sometimes, something new might not be the most beautiful thing. It's knowing that in time, new will become old, and knowing that someday, things will be more beautiful and more terrifying than they used to be.

Anyone else ready to ride?
I see the northern half of iron county is closed. South half by mercer still open. It's time for spring.
Had a GREAT year this year, ready to summerize them an get the Harley out!!!!
I was told yesterday that the Vilas county trails are closing after this Sunday. Can anyone confirm that?
Current conditions seem to say winter is on the way out. Head to the north if you want a last minute ride. Otherwise get them packed away for next year.
Trails are awesome out there in the fox valley area. Get out and enjoy it.
With this new snow there are a lot of counties open for snowmobiling. Get out and enjoy it before the real cold comes. Good luck.
I just came back from the Northwoods. The trails in the hurley area don't look terrible. Very few sleds on them. My cabin is on trail 13 I believe by the gile flowage. They need more snow before I haul mine up there. A day or two and you would see everything that is open up there. Supposed to snow more by the end of the week. Good luck and happy trails.
Hoping for a New Year's trip.
Packed both mine and my wife's gear today - ready to go!
Let it snow!

Changes to the recommended frequency of cervical cancer screening.
Women ages 30 to 65 may decide how often they want to get screened for cervical cancer depending on the test they choose, according new draft recommendations for cervical cancer screening from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Testing every three years requires a Pap smear, and testing every five years requires a test for human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes nearly all cervical cancers.
"A woman going to her provider for a visit would want to talk with her doctor about the last time she was screened, what type of screening she had, which one to have next and what the timing of that should be," says Maureen Phipps, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, R.I., and a member of the task force. The draft recommendations update the 2012 USPSTF recommendations.
Every year in the US, nearly 13,000 women develop cervical cancer and just over 4,000 die from it, according to the American Cancer Society. "We really want to emphasize that cervical cancer is a devastating disease and that screening is very important," Phipps says. "We want to catch it at an early stage so we can begin treatment."

An ideal business venture for someone with a deep interest and insight into the human condition, a holistic mindset or someone who wants to help improve the lot of humanity. Acquiring the skills and knowledge to share the art of massage would be essential, but if you have a modest home with at least one spacious room, this makes the ideal home business.
For anyone who is more ambitious, the trading name could be used to help establish commercial premises and franchise possibilities, locally or nationwide.
The sale of the business can include client databases, massage manuals and reference materials as well as personal support in terms of advanced massage training.

Who My Maternal Grandfather Really Was
by Junel Davidsen
Summary: The focus of this presentation is on the importance of 'building-out' family trees with information from selected DNA matches and other genealogical sources. In this case, with no real surname to start with, DNA match information was used to build collateral lines in order to determine families where direct relationships might exist. The value of testing at 3 companies: 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and FTDNA is also emphasized.

I'm delighted, and just a little bit humbled to welcome the first contributing poster to the blog.
Dr. Sarah Bruton runs a business in South Wales called Captiva Spa, and as well as offering a brilliant product, she is a deep thinker about her business. She also happens to be one of the main contributors to the community we are creating here, being absolutely happy to pitch in and share ideas and offer help to others that post here or in the Facebook group. Here's what Sarah had to say about working with me directly over the last month or so – its a great read for anyone runnign a business, interesting and inspiring in equal measure! And of course, absolutely a real life example of what businesses are facing every day.
'My business, Captiva Spa, was established three and a half years ago, and although has been relatively successful during that time, I felt that I had come to a crossroads. What had been set out in my initial business plan had been achieved, all my ideas – good and bad – had been implemented, and everything I knew how to do to grow the business, I had already done.
At the same time, I was starting to question the business I'd created. Offering luxury spa treatments, holistic therapies and high-end salon services had worked well three years ago, but things were different now. Economic circumstances had created a culture in retail of massive discounting, and in the spa/ beauty industry, Groupon & Living Social were ripping apart traditional client loyalty. Much of our current business was based on offers and discounts, and although our margins allowed for this now, I worried for the future.
I am heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of the spa, making it dangerously easy to get bogged down in the detail (the person who stole my treatment room towels – I know who you are!) and to lose focus on an overreaching strategy for growth. Also like all small business owners, that strategy is pretty much down to me, so there is little opportunity for brainstorming, creative thinking or challenging ideas.
A few months ago I was introduced to the Completely Free Sales Advice project. The altruism of the experiment seemed almost too good to be true, and I was absolutely taken aback by the offer to help. In the early hours of one morning, I outlined via email some of my key concerns, as well as a few 'gut feels' about where we, as a business and as an industry, were heading. In particular:
– The current economic climate, and whether spa treatments were luxuries that could no longer be justified;
– The consumer's attitudes were changing, stretching out time between appointments and expecting discounts;
– Our higher-end competition were lowering prices in line with ours, yet with superior facilities and brand power;
– AS a result, offers and discounts were dominating our sales – how would this progress in the future?
– Previous attempts at advertising had produced a poor return;
At 8.15am the same morning, I received a detailed reply. Tony raised pertinent questions and relevant observations that formed the basis of what we would discuss in our later meeting. Even at this stage, it was energising to have such an expert validate my instincts, acknowledge that what I was doing was essentially ok, and confirm that there was a way through.
In our meeting a week later, we focused on these key issues:
– The importance of 'luxury' – I worried about possible negative connotations, but Tony felt that the ability to position ourselves as a high-end indulgence, and to create a perception of quality and luxury, would, in turn, inspire desire for our product. My focus now is to feed this desire, but also to employ specific discounting tactics to imply temporary accessibility to that luxury.
– We discussed our competitors, and felt that their discounting diminished their brand. Tony said: 'Either be the cheapest or be different.' We need to create something unique to us, which in our case must focus on creating an almost concierge-style service – personal, high-end and memorable.
– To make advertising and events choices that only produce direct sales; this means choosing events where we can make sales/ bookings on the day, rather than adverts or events that only build general awareness;
– While we connect well with clients on our physical premises, we need to create the same engagement in our virtual spaces, by adding relevant content, developing personal relationships, and positioning my team as the experts that they are. Facebook & email database marketing seem the best methods to do this at present;
– Development of 'authentic helpfulness' to create raving fans of the business;
– Establish a sense of exclusivity & 'club benefits' to build client loyalty;
– Recognition that there is a life cycle for every client – that clients will leave and that's ok (a new one for me) – so there is a constant need to drive new business;
To many of you reading this, each leaders in your relative business field, this may not seem anything revolutionary. But to me, it is a daily revolution. It has been such a long time since I have been able to view my business and its practices objectively, and the fact that Tony has been able to do that with such skill and clarity is empowering. In an hour or so, he got to grips with my client base, my business model and the wider spa/beauty industry (although I am saving the finer points of Brazilian and Hollywood waxing for a later meeting!). Rather than panicked responses, I have specific objectives and a better sense of who we are and what we're about. The benefits, just seven days later, are already tangible:
– We have increased our interaction with our Facebook database, begun to add improved content and added 23 new friends; importantly, my team members have also been involved in those interactions, helping my workload and contributing to better client relations;
– I have completely scrapped our Valentines campaign, and am working instead on a more 'luxury' offering, which includes hand-delivering beautifully gift-wrapped spa vouchers actually on Valentine's day;
– Stopping the advertising spend for local magazines etc. will make a significant saving;
– I feel so much more enthusiastic because I have a specific project to undertake;
I wrote this response because Completely Free Sales Advice is an exciting, innovative experiment, and my own hands-on, work-in-progress 'story so far' seems far more in keeping with its true spirit. Feel free to follow my progress, particularly from a social media perspective. Working with and learning from Tony is a privilege and an inspiration; I am learning as I go, but that's exciting. I am currently delighted to have a Facebook status post which has attracted 23 comments; the novelty of having customers contact me at 11pm probably will wear off soon, but for now, I love it, and more importantly, I love my business again.
I know Completely Free Sales Advice is a long-term project, but perhaps now more than ever, it is exactly what businesses need.'
So there you go – I told you she was a deep thinker! Thank you Sarah. Not only for a brilliantly detailed response and the kind words, but also for so wholehearlty taking part in what I am trying to achieve here. Your input has already gone a long way to shaping what CFSA is all about.
What do you think dear reader? are we onto something here? Let me know what you think in the comments below, like the facebook page for regualr updates or enter your email address using hte follow button on the left of the page to recieve 'completely free sales advice' directly into your inbox.

How to be a Property Developer – Skills and Character Traits
How to be a Property Developer – Skills and Character Traits
Can you be a Property Developer?
Yes you can!
There are lots of Websites which will give you the top 10 ways to become a Property Developer. All useful information but it doesnt drill down into the core skills and character traits required. This post briefly describes the skills and character traits. The rest is up to you.
It is possible for anybody to become a Property Developer but you will need to hone certain skills and educate yourself using the vast range of resources available to you – books, magazines and online.
Start today and read/watch all you can about:
Do you need to be a builder to become a Property Developer? No you dont….
There are huge number of Property Developers out there who have never lifted a hammer or wielded a saw. If they did then it would probably cost more to put their work right than any saving they had made Doing it Themself.
Your time may be better served managing rather than doing and managing. Some Property Developers think that they need to get down and dirty but this just isnt the case.
Personal Development
OK, so you can get started as a Property Developer without any practical skills. However you will need to be organised, possess computer skills, be able to manage people, not be afraid to negotitate and to keep a cool head when all those around you are losing theirs.
You will need to have some idea how the work is carried out so when the work has been completed you will be in a position to critique.
Also it would be good to know what tools each trade should be using to carry out their function. When a trade turns up on site they will bring with them a range of tools.If a carpenter only turns up with a hammer and saw then be very worried; a good carpenter will have a large number of power tools at his disposal as well as chisels, planes etc.
You should also know the sequence in which the work is completed. You will then be able to use this knowledge to draw up a programme of works.
As mentioned before there are lots, and I mean lots, of books, magazines and online resources that you should be reading/watching to learn as much as you can about the build process and individual trades.
Your education doesnt stop when you leave school. Your personal development lasts a lifetime.
Thick Skin and Nerves of steel
Property Developing is a high risk business and you will be dealing with a lot of Property Professionals on a daily basis. They will test you and you will be found wanting especially early on in your career. Trades especially can smell out newbies and will try it on. This is normal and you musnt ever take anything personally. Learn from it and fall forward. Dont brood on the past, plan for the future.
When negotiating with trades, merchants, anybody in fact, treat it like a game of poker…he who blinks first loses.
Make sure you hold all the cards from the start and have leverage. Make what you are offering more inviting than the next person. For example when I was negotiating with merchants on my last project I made sure they knew that if they gave me the best prices possible first time round i would give them ALL my business for the entire project. This galvanised their thinking and I did get the best prices and I did stick with them for the whole project.
I will write more posts on this subject when I have the time but for now this I hope will get the juices flowing.

Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7
As we learn from the book of Genesis, we are made of two parts, a physical body and our soul. God breathed his "Ruach" or Spirit into us on the day of conception. The definition of the world Ruach" means "Spirit" , "Wind", or "Breath". That means God breathes our living soul inside our physical bodies, we are not just flesh and bone
You are not a mistake! You were not born by accident! Many people want to believe that we are just randomly made or here for no purpose, but know this, God made you for a purpose and you are part of his grand design. People, who deny Creation, also deny the purpose for their existence. If everything in this world was randomly created, which is mathematically impossible, then you are saying you have no reason for existence.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)
"For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb" (NASB) ( Psalm 139:13)
God, your Heavenly Father and Creator, formed and knew you before you were ever born. God has a purpose and plan for your life, only through God will you ever find your destiny. There is only one, who can give you the "Breath of Life", and you can only get to him through Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6) Amen

Astrology Prediction : Query by Susmitha, from Secunderabad (India)
Name : Susmitha
Date of Birth : 03-12-1992
Time of Birth : 00:49 Hrs (IST)
Place of Birth: Secunderabad (India)
Question: When will I get married? And will I get foreign match?
According to Vedic astrology my observations are as follows:
1. Leo ascendant and lord Sun is in the house of family with Rahu debilitated. Lord of family and house is in the house of foreign lands in debilitated sign. No affliction on ascendant, Moon from the house of spouse is giving aspect on ascendant.
2. Marriage house lord is afflicted by Mars retrograde and debilitated. This Mars is afflicting house of marriage too. Confirming your Kuja dosh. Dasha wise this period may not be suitable for marriage, because both the malefic planets are active. This can give marriage like relationship or development, possibly in foreign lands or related to foreign lands.
3. In my pinion better chances of marriage may develop after January 2020.

While he is getting up to his usual antics right now in the PCA Super High Rollers, a hand from last year's Monte Carlo Cash Challenge Series has attracted a lot of interest this week from poker and mainstream media alike.
In it an online qualifier makes what looks like one of the greatest bluffs of all time and Hart makes what looks like one of the greatest calls of all time. That is, until you listen to the conversation between them as it happens:

This year I decided to do something different for NYE. As many of my friends were not going mental and throwing ridiculous house parties, I decided that me and a girl from work were going to go for a civilised meal with cocktails at the Marriott Hotel in Bournemouth.
Compared to last NYE, this NYE was going to be completely different. NYE 2012-2013, I worked in a local night club that threw a massive NYE party stretching over a 12 hour period. Not only was it insane, I had one of the best NYE I have ever had.
During 2013, I have drank a hell of a lot more than I have drank in previous years. I turned 21, I went on a hen weekend, my friends turned 21, I went to a wedding, it was my friends uncles dogs brothers birthday. Any excuse there was, I used it as an excuse to get drunk.
Not this year. 2014 is the year where I cut out alcohol. Not completely because that would be silly, everyone likes a social drink. But just not go mental. Be sensible (if I even know the meaning of the word).
So with this in mind, Sima and I headed off into Bournemouth to the Marriott Hotel for a lovely meal and cocktails. Not only had we dolled ourselves up in pretty dresses, we had our nails done, hair was nice and we even chucked on heels.
The night was amazing. Just the two of us. Girlie chats. Delicious food. Amazing cocktails. & champagne.
I'm actually really happy that we decided to spend the evening together in a restaurant and bar rather than hit the town clubbing. It was social, we had a laugh and we got slightly tipsy on the cocktails.
It's safe to say that even after we left the Marriott hotel, I may have ventured into town for a boogie but who doesn't like shaking their tush after a cocktail or two.
All in all I had a lovely NYE and I hope the new year brings health and happiness to all my friends and family.
Love and laughter

Update: this is possibly a Hypoestes phyllostachya 'Splash Select' Red - Polka Dot Plant
Carrying both the pot and the plant I walked through a drive-thru since my adventure seemed to deserve a coffee and scone reward, which was slightly awkward and reminded me of being in college again. But when you are trying to get breakfast along a limited route at 7:30 am there are not a lot of chances to be picky. The things that we find acceptable before we become an adult are hilarious looking back, and without a car, I'm starting to feel like my Adult card is being revoked. The scone, cheese and ham, was incredibly delicious, and has inspired me to bake tonight! Anyway, it was a good start to the day, and my Fitbit applauded me for doing so much walking!

It's Not Just Rough Sports That Put Children at Risk
The biggest challenge for many adults is to get children to walk away from the computer or video games and exercise. Get some fresh air! Run around!
But, much as we like to see kids playing sports and learning new skills, the other challenge is to make sure it's done safely. While much is heard about the dangers of playing football or soccer, it's not just in those rougher sports that children face safety issues.
On the playground, for example, it is important for school officials to take some precautions. Most children hurt on playgrounds are aged two to nine, and the most common injury is falling from equipment, according to the Center for Injury Research and Policy of Nationwide Children's, a pediatric care facility.
Children younger than six shouldn't play on seesaws, parallel bars, spiral slides and overhead rings because they lack upper arm strength, hand grip, size and coordination. And make sure the equipment is in good shape and installed over the correct kind of surface, such as rubber, sand or mulch – not blacktop, concrete, dirt or grass.
Once children are older, it's gym classes that pose the risks. Between 1997 and 2007, gym class accidents have increased by 150 percent, Thousands of children and teens are treated in emergency rooms every year, according to a study published in Pediatrics. Middle-schoolers accounted for half the injuries. The authors of the study don't know why the increase occurred, but theorize it may have to do with fewer school nurses, larger class sizes and/or more strenuous activities such as rock climbing.
So what to do? Make sure everyone is wearing appropriate clothing – especially shoes. Worn-out soles can slip on gym floors, and those with no cushioning or arch support can cause harder landings. Also, since most injuries with boys involve contact with other kids, it's especially important to talk about the dangers of roughhousing during gym class.
At one point or another, most children will participate in some sort of organized team sports, whether it's Little League baseball or high school football. While such team involvement can create lifelong memories, it can also create bruises and broken bones.
While much is heard about head injuries, the most common athletic injury overall is an ankle sprain, reports the National Institutes of Health. Other typical injuries include stress fractures, dehydration and heat exhaustion.
Sports accidents will happen, but the best way to protect players is to make sure they have proper gear and coaching. And if they do get hurt, remember the acronym RICE: rest and reduce or stop using the injured area for at least 48 hours; ice the area for 20 minutes four to eight times per day; Compress the injury – with a doctor's ok – using splints, elastic wraps or special boots; and elevate the injured limb above the heart.
Finally, while getting kids to exercise is one problem, the flip-side is those who play sports too much, resulting in overuse injuries and burnout.
"The growing emphasis on competitive success has led to increased pressure to begin high-intensity training at young ages, and this may be a significant contributing factor to these issues," said Dr. John P. DiFiori, president of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine.
In an interview with the web site SafeKids.org, DiFiori said his organization actually recommends that rather than specializing in one sport at an early age, children should diversify – find out what they like doing by trying a lot of different sports – and when older, concentrate on the one they enjoy the most.
While school administrators can't tell every student which sport is right for them, they can do their part to keep them safe while they're honing their interests. Taking the right precautions in physical activity is a lesson learned for life.

I think there is a great deal of misunderstanding about Monitors and their roles. In part, it is because the Monitor label is used to cover many different types of oversight – some benign, some investigative, some constructive and some downright adversarial. As someone who has served as a Monitor since the mid-1980s, I'd like to help set the record straight. How a Monitor is selected and when the Monitor enters the process is not as critical as understanding what a Monitor is expected to accomplish. A Monitor may serve post-conviction, under a deferred prosecution agreement, under a non-prosecution agreement, by invitation when there is no immediate problem and before a deal is struck with the government or regulators. It is true that most Monitors are selected as a result of some misconduct or regulatory conduct, which is what I want to focus on in this discussion.
First, and I would have thought this was obvious, as the term is usually used, a Monitor is the creation of a contract (consent order) between parties. It is voluntary, albeit under unpleasant circumstances. It is agreed to and accepted by both parties and the scope and responsibilities of the Monitor are agreed to in a document. If a person is imposed on an entity without its agreement and without ground rules, it is an entirely different relationship and dynamic.
Second, in every case that I have been involved in, the government or regulator agreed to a Monitor because there was a belief that the entity was genuine in its efforts to achieve best practices. In other words, the entity was already demonstrating its intention to make things right and was prepared to invest in it and accept guidance from an independent party.
Third, following the second point, the monitored entity was already committed to spend resources – fiscal and intellectual, to improve and the Monitor is part of that budget. Of course, there have been cases of abuse, which makes the selection of the right Monitor so critical.
Fourth, the appointment of a Monitor should not be seen by either side as additional punishment. If that is the atmosphere, then very little will be accomplished and cooperation amongst the parties will be like pulling teeth. Nor should it be used as an alternative when insufficient evidence exists to bring civil and criminal charges. That too will result in an unproductive engagement.
Fifth, a Monitor should be forward looking. It is NOT "another investigation." I have turned down assignments where a company asked me to investigate wrongdoing and help build a compliance program. You can do one or the other; but I believe doing both is difficult, if not impossible, and if undertaken will cause problems on both sides of the equation. Think about it, how can one assign blame on one day and then seek cooperation the next day? It will not work.
Sixth, generally speaking monitoring is a constructive engagement meant to help improve and institutionalize best practices. This cannot be accomplished in an atmosphere of fear and recriminations. The two most difficult tasks a Monitor faces are receiving cooperation from individuals and building a program that is sustainable.
Seventh, a Monitor still must be vigilant. If the government selects the right company for the monitoring, vigilance is not a threat but an asset for the compliance program.
Eighth, monitoring can help keep costs down. It seems so obvious to me, but I am decidedly in the minority among Monitors, as best as I can tell. If the resources of the entity, such as internal audit, compliance and IT were not tainted and suspected, then the Monitor should utilize them. This results in at least three distinct advantages and benefits: (1) the Monitor has access to people who really know the company, its culture and its personalities, (2) the company's resources which are working with the Monitor are learning how to think with some independence and conduct business properly – the influences you want to have and leave behind when the monitoring assignment is complete and (3) it saves the monitored entity money since you are utilizing existing personnel and resources. I'm not talking about abdicating responsibility, but benefitting from capable resources.
Ninth, with the knowledge and permission of the government or regulatory body, the Monitor may assist the entity with its constituents. I have been authorized to talk with potential customers about my role and thereby provide reassurance that things are on the mend. I have been authorized to bring company representatives to meet other regulators than those involved in the case in an effort to improve relations with the regulators. Similarly, a focus on compliance and ethics has proven to be effective with recruiting.
Tenth, a Monitorship is not a "gotcha." Most importantly, it is a constructive process that inculcates an entity with the right culture, protocols and attitude toward compliance and ethics. Employees will have the confidence to ask questions instead of taking chances. After all, success is measured not when the Monitor is in place looking over the company's "shoulder," but after the Monitor leaves.
In future discussions I will address reports, "volunteer" Monitors and other relevant topics.

Big Boat (and dolphin) Report - Sunday 24/8
Luke Parker
Jonathan reports.......
This was an extra race, sailed because the Harbour was there. Three boats presented, on a lovely afternoon, sunny with a 5 knot north-easterly. But variable, as light winds are.
It was a gate start, which nobody wins, and all three of us headed across Double Bay on port tack, close on the wind. T&T struck trouble straight away; which wasn't easy in light winds on an empty harbour. The clip holding the genoa sheets to the clew slipped, the headsail flapped merrily, and Mat had to scramble to sort it out. So 50m behind on the first bit of the first leg. T&T tagged Corinna and Umbakumba as they tacked out into the harbour, but did not follow as Corinna and then Umbakumba tacked to pick up the easterly sometimes there at Potts Point. T&T went left, ignoring the Point, and did well, turning the PP mark third (Umbakumba was first) but in touch.
The next leg, to Taylor's Bay, was a gentle reach; Umbakumba went low and T&T high, and we sailed over the top of both the competition, to reverse the order - turning first, well clear. We held that lead until the last stages of the work to Sow'n Pigs; T&T overstood the mark by maybe 150m (a significant mistake), allowing Corinna through to round the top mark first.
Still, we all threw up spinnakers to fight out the downwind leg to Shark Island, and T&T closed up on Corinna until, off Steel Point we fell into a deep hole; Corinna' s small lead and some clever sailing took her eventually to a lead of a country mile, while we flapped around. Umbakumba caught a following gust and held it well to sail through us, as we drifted past Shark Island, adding to our frustration.
By the time T&T finally cleared the Shark Island mark Corinna was half a leg ahead, and Umbakumba 100 m; we had taken our spinnaker down to stop it tearing on the rigging as we flapped in no wind, and the cockpit floor was a jumble of ropes. We thought 'what the hell', sorted the cockpit and hoisted another spinnaker (a red and white flat-cut kite, made for strong winds, which I bought for a song too many years ago). It set beautifully and we found a bit of wind. Mat took the helm, I managed the spinnaker, brace in one hand and sheet in the other, and we set out to catch Umbakumba.
Gerry and Brian took Umbakumba high, so we went low. And - trimming the spinnaker as best we could and finding the best of the wind - almost got there, finishing at opposite ends of the line, at most a few seconds behind. It was slow sailing but good fun competition. Mind you, by the time we had finished, Corinna had her headsail packed, and her deck tidy. In fading winds a small mistake (or just bad luck with the puffs) can turn into a loooonnnng loss.
We unrigged uneventfully and enjoyed a cool drink in the last of the afternoon's sun, on the Club deck.
And, when we were sick of talking about the race, we talked about sailing.
Across the line:
Lots of water
We race again on September 7
Addendum from Gerry......
As myself and Brian rigged up the spinnaker sheets whilst drifting calmly on a low tide
and 4 to 6 knots of breeze on a sparkling late winter Sunday on Sydney Harbour just off Clarke
Island,I thought to myself ..... apart from some more wind what could possibly make this
moment any more serene?
And then it happened a sight I have never seen in the harbour before, a Pod of 12 or more
Dolphins popped up and cruised around Umbakumba practically circling the boat barely 5 feet off.
We stood transfixed forgotten sheets and spinnaker bags in hand. Too late darting below for a camera to capture the event.
We tried to hail T&T and Corinna to let them know of the Dolphins presence.
But they were too busy with their pre race preparations.
We then had a magic sail around the course still keeping an eye out for the Pod.
So much so that we neglected to gybe the spinnaker on the last leg to shorten
our line to the finish, almost letting T&T take us on the line, a mistake no doubt
but then you can't have everything.
So keep and eye out on the harbour, it might just be worth dropping a few boat lengths for!

28 Dec Digital marketers recommend unconventional ways of lead generation
Many entrepreneurs and companies tend to follow similar ways to generate lead. Especially when people own small businesses or start ups, it becomes an issue to not follow trends in digital marketing, as the competition gets stiffer for new comers in every industry. Besides, search engine optimization being the most preferable technique in lead generation, it is becoming necessary for business to game up with other tactics too. Another core reason to use unconventional techniques is that, you will get similar results if you use the same techniques. If you are expecting a better result than your competitors, you need to make some changes. A good change can never be a failed experiment, but all you need is to implement it based on deep research and facts. Brisbane SEO companies recommend these 3 unconventional ways to lead generations apart from page ranking techniques:-
Live chat can make a difference
Online retailers take this part quite seriously and get good results compared after meeting the customer's expectations. This helps them in communicating with their target audience, and also an opportunity to convert them effortlessly. Most of the time, FAQ sections fail to give the best possible solution to customer queries, and hence a live chat is a rescue for customers. They love when businesses take interest in their queries, and this makes them feel positive about the product or service that you offer. Live chat can definitely speed up the entire buying process.
Make your customers happy
Nothing is more valuable than a happy customer, and they are the best ambassador's for your business. Consider creating a customer referral program by giving them good incentives to stay loyal. For instance, give me them an offer or discount if they download your app or buy one of your signature products.
Collaborations can open doors to new opportunities
Partner up with another thriving business that is equally competitive and passionate as you are. Cross- promotion is the key to untapped market and target audience who are still not aware of your existence or quality of service. Another way to partner up is becoming a guest blogger on a popular site of your own industry. Position yourself as a leader in your industry by creating relevant, engaging, professional and informative articles.


text: The 101 hoop games and exercises in this book are intended to be a creative introduction to the broad use of the single most versatile play device in the world next to the bouncing ball. With the passage of time, we have also learned that the attention span of our children is getting shorter and shorter. We also know that more children are overweight than ever before. What can we learn from all of this? That working with children in sports and physical recreational activities is critical. And, most importantly, that for the children to maintain high focus and interest, they must have activities that are both fun and exciting. The unique and creative games in this book are designed to meet those exact needs. Inside each section you'll find skill-builders for individual children as well as games for groups. Most of the activities can easily be adjusted to a variety of ages and skill levels simply by using a little imagination. They can provide virtually unlimited hours of skill-building exercises for children while they have fun. You will also quickly see that many of the exercises and games have many similarities to the skills needed for many regular physical activities and popular sports.

Maid of Tarts Review of
Barely Undercover
by Sarah Castille
To start, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for giving James and Lana a story! They were wonderful as secondary characters in Legal Heat and are absolutely sizzling hot in Barely Undercover. Now that I've said that I can also say this story is more serious, intense and darker than Legal Heat. My emotions were all over the place, from laughing out loud at the snarky comments, to being so pissed off I wanted a certain character to die a most horrible death (which he did, so thank you Sarah) to being all hot and bothered (fanning myself) and also to the brink of tears (grab a Kleenex) when you learn about Lana's past.

Barry Ray Year: 1920 Villages: Pease PottageTilgate Forest Lodge domestic staff
The domestic staff of Tilgate Forest Lodge are posing for a formal photograph in the garden. Clearly, to have your photograph taken in those days was quite a serious matter.
Mrs Beckley is standing on the left, next to the footman who is enjoying a cigarette.
Sitting on the left is Alice Rice and in the centre is Mrs Waley with a cat on her lap. No jokes about Mrs Slocombe, please.
The dog on the left has his eyes on something far more interesting.
Do you think they had all visited the hairdresser especially for the photograph?

Hacknet – Deluxe contains the following content:
- Hacknet base game
- Hacknet Official Soundtrack
Hacknet is an immersive, terminal-based hacking simulator. Dive down a rabbit hoIe as you follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker, whose death may not have been the accident the media reports. Using old school command prompts and real hacking processes, you'll solve the mystery with minimal hand-holding, and a rich world full of secrets to explore.
Bit, a hacker responsible for creating the most invasive security system on the planet, is dead. When he fails to reconnect to his system for 14 days, his failsafe kicks in, sending instructions in automated emails to a lone user. As that user, it's up to you to unravel the mystery and ensure that Hacknet-OS doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Exploring the volatile nature of personal privacy, the prevalence of corporate greed, and the hidden powers of hackers on the internet, Hacknet delivers a true hacking simulation, while offering a support system that allows total beginners get a grasp of the real-world applications and commands found throughout the game.
Key Features
- Real hacking
Based on actual UNIX commands, Hacknet focuses on real hacking, not the Hollywood-style version of it. This creates a truly immersive experience and puts players right in the thick of trying to break through the firewalls.
- Unlock the mystery of Bit
A hacker is dead and the media reports don't add up. When you are contacted by his "ghost" – an automated failsafe system – you're drawn into the dark and murky world of underground hackers.
- Full immersion
You are thrust into a persistent virtual world with no "levels" or obvious game elements to break the illusion. Follow the guidance of the emails from Bit or just dive down the rabbit hole, chasing down clues and snippets of information you find as you explore different systems.
- Accessible but uncompromising
Whilst not holding your hand or dumbing down, the design of the game and the learning curve enables those with no prior terminal experience to enjoy it whilst delighting those in the know.
- Killer tunes:
Hack to the beat of a soundtrack featuring underground artists including Remi (Hotline Miami).
- Hack your own adventures:
Create your own campaigns, system networks, nodes, themes, music and story missions using the Hacknet Extensions mod tools. Share them with other players through Steam Workshop.

- Velocity Health programme building on two years of success accelerating digital start-ups in healthcare
- Our 2018 challenge seeks start-ups using technology to help support disease and illness prevention, with a focus on utilising Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- We're offering two start-ups up to £68K investment in funding and acceleration services
Merck Sharp & Dohme Ltd (MSD), a global healthcare company, and Wayra UK, the accelerator that is part of Telefónica Open Future_, are teaming up again to offer two start-ups up to £68K as part of the Velocity Health programme.
This will be the third year that MSD and Wayra have run Velocity Health, which aims to accelerate start-ups so that they can meet the healthcare challenges facing the NHS.
This year, the partners are seeking start-ups who can help with the following challenge:
– how technology can help support disease and illness prevention, with a particular focus on start-ups utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning.
Velocity Health was set up in 2015 to invest in digital innovation in healthcare to address the challenges outlined in the NHS Five Year Forward View1 and in line with the recommendations outlined in the Life Sciences Strategy2. Previous programmes focused on prevention in healthcare with an emphasis on diabetes prevention and cancer prevention.
Dr Junaid Bajwa, Director of Healthcare Services at MSD, said: "As a company, MSD is deeply committed to scientific discovery, working in partnership with the healthcare system and scaling innovation. Velocity Health 2018 aims to build on the achievements of the previous two years of Velocity Health and work with start-ups that truly complement the future of healthcare delivery. The NHS has made digital excellence the cornerstone of its future model and we must embrace this if we are to have a healthcare system fit for the 21st Century."
Gary Stewart, Director of Wayra UK and Telefónica Open Future_ (UK), said: "Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing our lives in ways never previously thought possible, and it makes sense for us to seek brilliant entrepreneurs who can harness the power of data to improve the NHS and healthcare services globally, potentially transforming the lives of billions."
Wayra UK and MSD believe that innovation can come from anywhere and are committed to help to identify, develop, promote and scale UK-based start-ups by leveraging Telefónica's global resources and MSD's health and data expertise to be a part of this new exciting era of health tech to support the NHS in providing a health system ready for our digital age.
In both the NHS Five Year Forward View and the Life Sciences Strategy, the NHS recognises the potential of technology to bring fundamental changes to healthcare delivery in the UK. Whether it is in further strengthening the science base, clinical trials capability or the creation of an environment that enables biotech and medtech companies to thrive and grow (e.g. in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, genomics and diagnostics) or to better support population health (e.g. through empowering healthcare professionals, and empowering patients), Velocity Health 2018 wants to continue to support the UK and the NHS in their continued mission of being a pioneer in healthcare.
Two start-ups will be chosen to take up a 10-month accelerator programme where a network of mentors, coaches and investors will nurture the entrepreneurial talent and technological expertise of each business to enable the development of innovative products and services to help deliver savings and efficiencies to the healthcare system.
Up to a total of £68K will be offered in investment to each start-up, which will include 50 per cent funds and the rest made up of dedicated acceleration services such as access to a network of mentors, coaches and investors. This will also include office space within Wayra UK's new acceleration facility in Central London, potential access to Telefónica's customer base of more than 300 million people, and MSD and Wayra's local and global networks.
Applications open on Dec 4 with the deadline for applications on Jan 4. Finals will be taking place on Jan 12. Interested entrepreneurs can apply at:
The 2018 programme begins in February.
