We've been talking a lot about the future of communication lately and uncovered an interesting changing tide in the technologies we use. It became evident today that over time, trends in technology have slowly shifted back and forth between synchronous and asynchronous modes of conversation.
A quick check on some vocabulary/definitions:
Synchronous Conversation – occurring in real time… all parties involved in the conversation are present and have the ability to contribute, react and respond
Asynchronous Conversation – occurring any time… all parties involved in the conversation have access to the conversation but are not communicating instantaneously
There are benefits and disadvantages to both and throughout the course of history technology has battled back and forth shifting the mix of how we communicate. Some are just fads, some completely revolutionary in the way we talk to each-other:
Cyclical evolution isn't anything new, we float back and forth in all kinds of trends. Function vs. Form, Hi-Fidelity vs. Good Enough, Ownership vs. Access, etc…. These trends seem to go in strange boom and bust phases but at any given moment, we definitely lean heavily on one vs. the other.
Think about your daily life, what form of conversation you rely on most on an average day? I float back and forth depending on the context, but I'm firmly planted in the "any time" column for a majority of my conversations these days (fewer, more meaningful "real time" conversations…more "any time" conversations with more people). Heck, I bet you can think of an example today where your mobile phone ("Any Time") distracted you while you were in a meeting ("Real Time").
Consider the benefits and disadvantages of each conversation type:
At a quick glance, it's easy to see value in each conversation type….. I would argue that our time is becoming such a scarce resource and we have a desire to stay better connected to a growing number of people, it's no wonder that asynchronous communication is dominating much of our lives.
As a person who feels partially responsible in shaping the way people communicate in the future, I continue to wrestle with this problem. What does the future hold?
Will we shift back toward a heavier dependency on "Real Time" conversations again or are we forever more dependent on "Any Time" conversations?
Will advances in capture, storage and search allow you to complete digitize and index everything you say to someone, giving "Real Time" conversations a record and making them more practical for daily task management?
Can we continue to bring the benefits of real time and any time conversation together to bring the next generation of communication technologies to market?
Big questions…few answers…a lot of opinions and ideas. We'll continue brainstorming (in a synchronous manner by the way ;-)

Summer is slipping through our fingertips, and whether you're heading back to school or not this fall, it's a great time to hit the reset button and put a little more focus on your fitness goals.
As a youngin', I saw each school year as a fresh start, complete with new teachers, new classrooms, and new friends. The one thing that remained the same until college was my uniform. That's right: white collared shirts, loafers, and plaid as far as the eye could see! It seemed boring at the time, but I realize now how incredible my uniform was. It took away first-day jitters, leveled the playing field, and made my morning ritual a breeze. GONE were the hours and hours spent in front of my closet figuring out what to wear.
I may be a little older now—and hopefully wiser!—but the same rules apply. Think about it. I bet you make sure to wear your most flattering little black dress on date night, or your favorite suit/tie combo to a job interview. Why not do the same with your workout wardrobe? After all, it's easier to achieve success with a confident first step!
Good news: There's really no right or wrong way to dress for the gym (formal wear aside, of course). Whether it's an oversized t-shirt and shorts or a color-coordinated outfit, you want your gym bag filled with options that are comfortable, flattering, flexible, and make you feel good. Here are some other things to think about when creating your ideal workout wardrobe.
1. Could you go for a walk in it?
If you're just getting started on your fitness journey, you may have some reservations about the process. Wear something that you could see yourself walking down the street in comfortably. You'll feel more like yourself when you walk into the gym and won't have any apprehension about getting started.
2. How many days a week are you working out?
I work out five days a week, which means I have five great workout ensembles (top, pants/shorts, sports bra, socks, etc.) to last me until the next wash cycle. This ensures that I'm prepared for each workout and that I limit excuses that could prevent me from getting to the gym.
3. Make sure you like what you're wearing!
You'll read articles about the proper material to wear or what pants work the best. Bottom line: If you don't feel comfortable in your clothes, you won't want to leave the house, let alone walk into the gym. Choose clothes that are lightweight, made of breathable material, and aren't too far outside of your comfort zone.
4. Protect your feet.
This may seem obvious, but choose shoes based on the kind of exercise you're doing. It's important for form, comfort, and injury prevention. For instance, you wouldn't wear a hiking shoe to walk on a treadmill. Don't be afraid to ask for help when choosing a shoe. And pick something that fits your personality, which will make them even easier to wear. Over the years, my sneakers have gone from jet black to loud and neon!
So before you tie your laces or swipe your key fob at your nearest Anytime Fitness, make sure you've stocked your closet with clothes that fit your body, personality, and fitness goals. You'll calm your fitness nerves and set yourself up for a successful workout!

Has Atari found the Holy Grail?
In a conference at Wedbush Morgan Securities annual Management Access Conference in New York, Nolan Bushnell, Atari's founder, has declared to have found the most perfect and impenetrable encryption for games and computer programs. Not only this, but he is positive that said encryption will not be crackable, and that piracy will finally be immensely hindered.
In his own words,
"There is a stealth encryption chip called a TPM that is going on the motherboards of most of the computers that are coming out now. […] What that says is that in the games business we will be able to encrypt with an absolutely verifiable private key in the encryption world – which is uncrackable by people on the internet and by giving away passwords – which will allow for a huge market to develop in some of the areas where piracy has been a real problem."
In other words, the Trusted Computer Module's* difference from previous encryption chips is that besides of its easy creation and accessibility, it will form an algorithm so complex that the software coding will not be accessible in any possible way, thus preventing "pirates" from stealing the product and gaining illegal profit from it.
Bushnell has clarified his intentions of mass producing the TPM and selling it to all those companies which desire to stop the black, illegal market from stealing their products. Many are already waiting for the final results from this beta encryption, expecting that if good results come out from the tests, the Holy Grail for software security encryption might have been finally found. "[…] games are so integrated with the code. The TPM will, in fact, absolutely stop piracy of gameplay," said Atari's founder.
Yet Nolan was very clear in that he won't be able to stop movie and music piracy with his possibly miraculous creation. Quoting him, "if you can watch it and you can hear it, you can copy it."
The shifting Atari company has changed from hand to hand since its creation, being right now a shared incorporation with 51% of its assets belonging to Infogamers Entertainment. On April 30 Atari, Inc., the remaining shared percentage of Atari, has shown intentions in finally selling their assets to Infogamers Entertaiment, ending Atari's shifty history and making it a private company one and for all. This interesting economic move promises very important consequences, as the contracts that Atari, Inc. currently with gaming companies are at steak.
But with the creation and production of this new security stealth chip, Atari might have just found the right way to hold tightly together and maintain its prestigious place as one of the best gaming and software programming companies ever, honoring the glorious days of the Atari 2600, and a promising future to come.
Source: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/encryption-chip-will-end-piracy-open-markets-says-bushnell
* Yes, that is what TPM stands for. Not sure where the 'P' came from though. >.>
True, obviously this is just senseless bragging.
But we never know, it might work at a certain degree.
Hackers will find a way around it, that's whats so beautiful about computers, there is always a way around. Nothing Is Impossible!

Hotter than Hell in the metal/punk underworld, MIDNIGHT's debut album 'Satanic Royalty' became an instant classic upon its release in 2011. Here, with anticipation at a fever pitch, the hooded demons return with the even better 'No Mercy For Mayhem'. Whereas 'Satanic Royalty' was the culmination of nearly a decade's worth of hard slogging in the underground, 'No Mercy For Mayhem' is an intensification of everything its predecessor seemingly perfected: the hooks even more anthemic, the power more piledriving, the dirt dirtier, the sum effect being absolute BLACKOUT. Really, there's no current band who are able to mainline classic heavy metal, hard-charging punk rock and grimy rock'n'roll quite like MIDNIGHT can, and 'No Mercy For Mayhem' is studded-leather, 10-track proof that mainman Athenar and crew are at the top of their game and bow to no one.

In the past month, I've moved from Word to Scrivener. I've found that this makes a big difference to the way I write (and especially to the way I handle my research and planning.)
Now it's time for the next big step: increasing productivity by teaching myself to dictate my books instead of typing them.
Now that's a biggie. But… I'm sure I can do it. After all, I've done this before in one way. Years ago (when we were still using typewriters instead of computers) I composed all my drafts using pen and paper. I can still picture the notebooks that contained my handwritten novels. (I wish I'd kept some of them, just to look back on – a bit like keeping your children's first stories from Kindergarten!) The transition from handwritten draft to typed draft was the second step of revision – the first step being red pen corrections in the notebook.
Then along came computers, and suddenly revisions became a whole lot easier. No more typing and re-typing successive drafts – you could edit on the screen, then print out the final draft. Bliss. But I was still writing the first drafts by hand, simply because that was the way I'd always done it. My creativity simply seemed to fly out of the window if I tried to compose on the screen.
I plodded along with hand-written first drafts until (when I was working as a ghostwriter) I had a schedule so crammed with work that I could no longer justify the extra time it took to write by hand first, then transcribe. Kicking and screaming all the way, I taught myself to write directly onto the screen.
Now, of course, it's second nature. I scribble plot ideas with a pen and paper, but the minute I'm ready to write, I fire up the word processor.
Enter… Dragon Naturally Speaking. I bought one of the very early versions and,
When I saw the gobbledygook on the screen, laughed hysterically and went right back to typing.
Fast forward half a dozen years. Again, I was inundated with work. I organised a guest post for one of my blogs by a well-regarded children's writer, Sally Odgers. I was intrigued to find that she had been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for years. My interest rekindled, I checked out the program online and found that its accuracy had improved vastly. I bought a copy, tried it out, and was impressed.
The only problem was, I had the same experience as I'd had years before trying to move from handwritten first drafts to wordprocessed first drafts. Non-fiction was a lot easier. I seem to be able to come up with the right words when I was explaining how to do something (as I am in this post, using Dragon NaturallySpeaking) but when it came to fiction… It was a whole different ball game.
Fast forward again to this week. Here I am again, in a situation where I need to boost my productivity considerably. Naturally, my thoughts turned to Dragon.
I thought about the transition from handwritten first drafts to wordprocessed first drafts.
I thought about the transition from hunt and peck typing to touch typing.
Both involved a learning curve. Both involved a period of time where I forced myself to use the new methods rather than the old. I needed to give myself time to form a new habit.
That's what I'm doing this time. When I sit at my desk, I'm going to use DNS to create emails, blog posts, and first drafts of my novel. I already know that the more committed I am to learning something new, the easier it becomes.
After just one morning of using Dragon to write a scene from my novel, I have already found that I find it easier to think my way through this scene and dictated the same time, if I swing the chair away from the computer, close my eyes, and talk.
As a test (having already jotted down points I wanted to cover in the scene) I kept a record of how many words I was able to complete in one hour using Dragon. The result: 1390. Since this was a very new experience with fiction, I expect that I will be able to increase that substantially.
I'll keep you posted.

Matta: On the Edge of a Dream (published by Skira), 2016
have the pleasure to invite you to the presentation of the book
Matta: On the Edge of a Dream
Book Launch & Talk with the participation of Paola Gribaudo,
Oksana Salamatina and Thomas Monahan
Thursday, 26th of May
Libreria Bocca Milan
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele
The first international monograph dedicated to the work of the Chilean painter, a major figure in the twentieth-century Surrealist movement. Roberto Sebastián Antonio Matta Echaurren (1911-2002) was an international figure whose
worldview represented a synthesis of European, American, and Latin American cultures.
As a member of the Surrealist movement and an early mentor to several Abstract Expressionists, Matta broke with both groups to pursue a highly personal artistic vision. His mature work blended abstraction, figuration, and multi-dimensional spaces into complex, cosmic landscapes.
This monograph traces the life and the work of the artist from the beginning to his most celebrated works; it also includes the interview that, just before his death last year at the age of 91, Roberto Matta gave Tate's contributing editor Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Get ready for pristine beaches, Gothic architecture and truly awesome Dubrovnik hostels.

Solo travellers, party hostel lovers and backpackers will surely love this handpicked selection. Some people might say, this is the guide to the "best hostels in Kings Landing".
This guide is perfect for YOU, when …
- tired of bad and crappy hostels
- want to avoid the "young party kids"
- happy to spend 1-2€ for a better experience
In search of 5 Star Hostels? Sorry but there isn't currently one in Dubrovnik. However, you can have a look at our 5 Star Hostel Swanky Mint Hostel in Zagreb.
Make sure you read our big guide to 24 best hostels in Croatia, including our own itinerary (and a few more gems!)
In this Dubrovnik hostel guide we cover:
- Introduction to Dubrovnik Hostels
- 3 Best Hostels in Dubrovnik
- Best Hostels for Solo Travellers
- Best Party Hostels
- Cheap Dubrovnik Hostels
- Promo Codes
- Dubrovnik with a car – Parking
- Itinerary, Beaches, Things To Do
- Map of Dubrovnik Hostels + Sights
- Flights to Dubrovnik
Quick Introduction to Dubrovnik Hostels
Average price for a bed: A bed in a dorm can be as cheap as 6€ up to 35€ per night. A private room in a hostel in Dubrovnik starts from 29€ up to 80€ per night.
The seasonal difference is huge here. And it also makes a big difference if you stay in the Old Town or outside.
This is a rough average to give you an idea. The summer is always much more expensive. As prices always depend on season and holidays. We always check exact rates on Hostelworld.com or Booking.com.
Check-In and Check Out: The average check-in time is from 15:00 (3pm), while the Check Out time is before 11:00 (11am). Hostels usually offer luggage storage in case you arrive earlier or leave later. Make sure you check if luggage storage is free or if there is an extra cost at the place you are planning to book.
Dubrovnik City Tax: Be aware that the 1.33€ tax is not included in the booking price of any of the hostels mentioned in this article. It's a requirement to pay this on arrival so make sure you have enough extra coins when you check in.
Hostel Location: Dubrovnik is actually more than the famous Old Town. Yet, this is exactly where the magic happens. We recommend staying inside the Old Town. It is much nicer. You can wake up early to have the city for yourself (before 8am) and at night you can enjoy live music in the pubs and eat out until late at night.
Game of Thrones: Yes, Dubrovnik is huge for GOT fans. You will see a lot of statues, masks, merchandise, souvenirs…even as non-GOT fan, it is quite cool to see. As a GOT fan, you can either join a paid GOT walking tour or do a self-guided tour on all Game of Thrones locations in Dubrovnik.
The hostels downtown are more pricey, but 100% worth it. A good investment in your experience!

Cheapest Hostels in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Of course, there are always cheap hostels. And certainly, you can find cheap hostels in Dubrovnik.
Yet, we think, it's not worth it to go with the cheapest hostel out there.
Usually the price is not that much different, but in Dubrovnik it can actually make a big difference.
Like 10€ or more even.
We said this already, but again: we think you should stay in the Old Town. It adds much more fun and value to your Dubrovnik trip. Seriously.
Dubrovnik is one of the few towns we recommend staying in the center.
The city is packed during the day. And it clears when the sun sets. Therefore, you can have the city almost for yourself in the morning when you stay in the Old Town.
The same goes for the nightlife; you can enjoy it much more when you do not need to take a 30 minutes bus back to your hostel.
The first time we traveled here, we stayed outside. We spent quite some time in transport, than actually exploring. That was kind of annoying. You can learn from our mistake.
However, if you are traveling on a shoe-string budget and you wanna save every penny, there are ways to find where to stay in Dubrovnik on a budget.
- Open Hostelworld with full list of accommodations in Dubrovnik
- Order the listing by price
It is as simple as that.
Here's our guide how to book hostels on Hostelworld.
Yet again, make sure you check all the other costs like breakfast or extra transport. The list above highlights our top hostels in Dubrovnik, we will stick with them since you can expect a fun quality stay here.
Here is a map of Dubrovnik (below) to show you the actual size of the city – and the Old town only.
For going to the Old Town from Gruz port Ferry international, you need to take one of the following city buses: no.1A, no.1B, no.3.
A bus ticket for one ride costs roughly $2. A day bus ticket costs roughly around $4.40.
Always check the updated rates.
Also, there is a difference if you buy the ticket inside the bus with the driver or at the kiosk.
You can see the size of the city is much bigger.
BUT: Only the Old Town is the absolute beautiful part you want to visit. The rest…well, skip it and better go to places like Korcula Island.
You see, this is why we insist on the old town and staying central. Skip that mistake and enjoy the actual Old Town!
Any Promo Codes or Discounts?
Currently, we have no special hostel discounts in Dubrovnik. We know, it's a pity.
You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive our newest hostel discounts always to your inbox.
We also do have a 35€ discount for Airbnb here.
Dubrovnik with a car – Where to park in Dubrovnik?
There is four main ways to travel to Dubrovnik. By plane, by bus, by ferry and by car.
Let us talk about the car.
If you think you can park your car in the Old Town Dubrovnik, you may also think you can park your car in Downtown Venice.
Sorry for the confusion: PARKING in the old town is NOT possible. Forget that!
You will need to park outside the old town.
Dubrovnik is actually much bigger than the Old Town. The city stretches even more North.
You see it in the map we added above.
There are in the North is less visited, and this is where you can park in Dubrovnik your car – even for free.
The area around Lapad is a good neighborhood to park your car, even for free. You can then take a public bus to the city center and relax.
Cannot find a free parking in Dubronvik?
Then try the parking at General Hospital Dubrovnik. It is a public parking and it costs 10€-15€ per day.
Check the map below, we marked the parking area for you.
Smart to know: If you were planning to park your car near to Old Town, you should get ready to pay around 10 Euros per hour in the Zone 0. This zone is a small carpark just outside of the Old City gates and is the most expensive public parking in Dubrovnik.
For that 10€ per hour, better get a delicious Pizza, seriously. Here's a guide to parking in Dubrovnik.
Backpacking Croatia and How Long to Stay
We have already covered this several times: The Old Town is the #1 reason you are here for sure.
It is absolutely gorgeous, no doubt.
There is even beaches and numerous day trips offered to go around the area.
However, we recommend visiting the Old Town only and then head out to the islands. Dubrovnik is beautiful, yes. The beaches can be great too, but they are not the absolute best in the country; obviously.
The rest of the country will be even more impressive in terms of beaches, landscape, people and food – and less pricey and touristy.
Our recommend for an itinerary in Croatia would be starting in Dubrovnik for 2 days and then take the ferry to Korcula Island.
You will have less tourists, enjoy a richer and more authentic food culture and can kick-back enjoying the island-life. At Korcula you can go snorkeling, take a bike around, and visit many museums too.
After Korcula, it is time to hit Hvar Island.
It is probably the most famous Croatian island and in the Adriatic Sea, located off the Dalmatian coast. Here you can either dive into the fun nightlife or keep exploring the beautiful landscape.
As for cool hostels in Hvar, we have to recommendations:
- Cast Away Eco Village Campsite – with amazing sea views and far from the city of Hvar
- For staying in Hvar City: The White Rabbit Hostel; perfect for solo-travelers
After Hvar, you will add Split to your bucket list. Another city with a rich nightlife and lots of culture.
The journey continues. To keep it simple, here is our backpacking itinerary for Croatia:
- Dubrovnik – 2 days
- Korcula – 2 days
- Hvar – 2-3 days
- Split – 2 days (read the guide to best hostels in Split)
- Trogir – 1 day/ night
- Primosten – 1 day
- Krka National Park – 1 day (this is the national park you can actually swim!)
- Zadar – 2 days (stay at Boutique Hostel Forum)
- Senj – 1 day (a former town run by pirates back in the day)
- Plitvicka Lakes National Park – 1 day
- Zagreb – 2-3 days (stay at the 5 Star Hostel in Zagreb and kick-back and rewind)
Again, check the map below. There we put the itinerary for Croatia.

Public charitable organization
The Problem: According to the study Financial Capability in the United States 2016, by the FINRA Investor Education Foundation nearly two thirds of participants are spending as much or more than they currently earn. While 46% have put aside an emergency fund, almost 40% have never even tried to figure out how much they will need for retirement even though almost half of the respondents say they are worried about retirement. Financial Literacy/Education is at the crux of an enormous challenge, that is: "How do we create and support competent successful stewards of their own finances".
Making a difference: Truly independent, we are not affiliated with any bank, brokerage firm, or other financial institution. Prosper America is a 501(c)3 public charity. We provide financial education solutions to create knowledgeable and empowered financial consumers. We believe everyone should have access to financial tools that can help them create a personal financial plan. We believe the combination of education, planning, and action is the only way to create a prosperous steward of their money and wealth.

All through the years, Lismore Neighbourhood Centre has faithfully serve the community of Lismore and surrounds. Great work indeed!
Lismore Neighbourhood Centre is non-profit organisation that was formed in 1977. It is governed by a Board
of Directors and operates a number of welfare and community capacity building program that serves in the Lismore area, the Northern Rivers Region and the large area of the North Coast. Its mission is "Many Tracts,
One Road, Sustaining Community". It incorporates a Community Hub offering wide range of services. The services offered are the following:
* Micro finance - offers no interest loans, Step Up, Budget Counselling, Indigenous Money Mentor, Aboriginal Loans Officer
* Volunteer Resource Centre
* Community Hub - Information and Referral Food Bank, Showers, IT Tutoring, Community Rooms (where the International Rainbow Club, German Group and others hold their regular meetings)

* African Communities Volunteer on the Road Mentoring Program
* Indigenous Homelessness Programs
* Community Visitors Scheme
* Child Sexual Assault Service
* Adult Survivors of Sexual Assault Counselling Service
* Vacation Care
* After School Care
* Vacation Care for Teen-agers with a Disability
I could remember so well when the Old Lismore Neighbourhood Centre was located in McKenzie Street,
which is now occupied by the Lismore Square Shopping Centre who had expanded the building to
accommodate more shopping businesses that are serving the people in the community There was the office
of the North Coast Settlement Service Officer Mei Lin Marlin where the migrants met for lunch and chat and
other community groups too. Then, ten years ago, they moved to the new area in Carrington Street which
was the Lismore City Library who themselves now got a new place in Magellan Street.
At long last, they have bought the building from the Lismore City Council and the great rejoicing was
extended to the community when last June 04 (Tuesday) , the Lismore City Council had the Official Key
Hand-over Ceremony. Politicians were there and members of the community (including Mathel and myself)
as well. Wow! great foods catered with great wines too. Foods and drinks has no limit. I think everybody
had enjoyed the wonderful event. Now, the Lismore Neighbourhood Centre owns the building. "Buying the building had allow them to have a long term plan for the future", said Jenni Beetson-Mortimer the CEO. The services are delivered in the regional and statewide program from the Centre in Lismore. At the hand-over,
they also launched a new initiative called "Friends of Lismore Neighbourhood Centre" whose aim is to help
raise the necessary funds to meet the repayments. Anyone interested, you may ring the office. They employ
65 people and lots of volunteers who are working on dozens of programs from Ballina to Kyogle.
Congratulations! This is the new beginning of great things coming on the way.
Keep up the good work!

I have done something today that may make or break a really important friendship.
Some years ago, when I was at the beginning of my career – long before I met Mr WLB – I spoke to a chap on the phone and we 'clicked'. He is Scottish – and I love a Scottish accent – so we got chatting about the Highlands and ended up becoming firm friends and having a giggle.
He would tell me all of his woes…and I would do the same – sort of.
However, a couple of times in the early days he mentioned 'fat' things and didn't really speak very highly of those of the rotund variety. Not thinking that I would ever meet him, or even continue our conversations, I never mentioned that I was one of them!
As it turned out, we did carry on speaking and I ended up recruiting people for his company…but we never met. We continued our telephone chats and he often asked me to meet up for a coffee, but I always declined. I guess I was embarrassed about the fact that I hadn't told him I was fat. I didn't want him to meet me and think 'feck!' It was never a 'relationship' thing…he's over 20 years older than me and I obviously have my Mr WLB whom I wouldn't swap for the world…we just clicked and it would have been great to meet up.
I supported him through a divorce and redundancy and life issues…and he supported me too. Then he moved to France and has often said that I should head over there and stay with him and his partner.
I have obviously declined.
We chatted on Skype…I lied and said that my camera on it was broken.
So today I decided to get honest with possibly the last remaining friend in my life who doesn't know the true story – the fact that I reached 43st 5.5lbs and am battling like a demon to get my life back.
This is what I wrote to him…
'First of all – how the bloody hell are you?! I haven't spoken to you in such a long time!
Secondly, I have a pretty huge confession to make – in more ways than one.
Now, as you read this you may or may not be shocked. Given your nature, you probably sussed me out a long time ago and it might not be news to you. But this is a massive deal for me as I worry that you won't want to speak to me again.
You are my dearest friend – and I genuinely mean that. But I kept something from you for such a long time and I think only fair to share it with you – especially as I am overcoming this problem and have had press interest already…at some point my name and photos will be out there, and I don't want you having a coronary!
I was majorly fat – hugely fat in fact – American sized take the house down fat.
When we first started speaking, I was overweight, but nothing dramatic compared to where I ended up. There were a couple of times that you made reference to fat people in our early conversations and I though, 'Fuck, I'd best keep quiet about my size then!', as I loved talking to you…you were a breath of fresh air.
We kept in touch and I kept getting fatter. I developed a major eating disorder and almost killed myself. My eating habits caused me to have cancerous cells and type 2 diabetes…so it was pretty serious.
Thankfully, I have cured these things though now!
My work situation with my shitty old boss pushed me to my limits…I ended up reaching 43st 5.5lbs. I worked right up until I was 41st and thankfully the contracts we hoped to win at work weren't won…which mean I could ask for redundancy and it was granted.
So I decided to take back control and focus on my health.
The doctors told me that I would die by the time I was 35 if I didn't have weight loss surgery. But I have proved the buggers wrong…I have lost my weight through diet and exercise alone.
I have so far shifted 20st 11lbs…and it's been fecking hard. I could have done with keeping in closer contact with you to spur me on actually…but I was so embarrassed about how I let myself get I suppose. I lost contact with a lot of friends and have, over the past year, been reconnecting with them and letting them know my situation etc.
Life is bloody good now – I am happier than ever before but have less than ever before…no fecking money – although I am working as a coach and that is building nicely and I am doing some public speaking appearances. I write an anonymous blog and have over 16000 people following my journey on Facebook and they are a marvellous support and seem to love what I do and how I do it…so there have been offers of book deals, TV appearances etc…quite scary really!
I workout at the gym with a trainer four times a week – he had to stop me going every day as I was pushing myself too much. Yesterday I did an hour on the rowing machine – on the highest level – and almost reached 11km rowed. Today, I have been lifting weights and almost killing myself to get better!
So that's it. I would have loved to meet you long before now, but hid away. So if you fancy a proper Skype session – face to face – then let's do it.
Whatever you decide, just remember that I think you are fucking marvellous and love you to bits you old goat! :-)'
I pressed 'send' really quickly without reading it. As I read it now, it all sounds a bit garbled…like I am trying to justify myself in a sense. I have no idea how you tell someone that you have been living a lie almost.
So there we go. I really hope that he is the kind of person I believe him to be…and that this won't be an issue. I would genuinely love to meet him. But if he feels that my lies are too much, then that is something I will deal with…it is what it is! I suppose I enjoyed being able to chat to someone who wasn't focussed on my weight…it was quite freeing in a way.
Phew – what an emotional day.
The rest of it has been okay. I had a lovely coaching session this morning. My client has made so much progress in just 5 sessions…but wants a couple more to ensure that everything is 'cemented' in a way. I had a huge smile on my face throughout the call as she just sounds like a different person. Then I headed to my training session. Bloody hell – that was a tough one. I ended up dead-lifting 50kg on an Olympic bar. I was doing squats, good mornings, clean and press work…all sorts of weight related moves. I felt like bloody Lara Croft. I am focussing on weights with my trainer and trying to stick with cardio in between sessions…although if I have had a tough day and need to relieve stress, there is nothing like leg-pressing 200kg or dead-lifting to make your hulk side come out. I feel so good after these sessions! Then I headed to grab some food and see the horses. I quickly popped in to see my niece and nephew too. My sister has bought one of those rebounder things, so they were both jumping up and down on that. My nephew makes me smile…he always asks if he can go to the gym with me – he's three – so I have showed him some little moves to do and he shows me every time I see him…telling me that he has to do his 'exercises' – bless him. Then I came home, had an argument with Mr WLB about him forgetting my dinner food items, and he went out to get the forgotten items. He also came home with this lot…
…and I couldn't stay mad for long! He's still a plonker though…we write a shopping list and inevitably it's always my food which gets forgotten! And the cactus plants are because I am shite at keeping plants alive…he knows me so well!
Anyway, I am now on a mission to relax. I am off to meditate and read a little more of my compassionate mindfulness book…and have Pilates to look forward to tomorrow.
UPDATE: 10 minutes after posting this, I had an email back – to paraphrase…'you could have been a million stones, it wouldn't have mattered to me' – I can go to bed happy now!
Breakfast: Banana, boiled eggs, and cold tomato soup.
Lunch: Bean and feta salad with balsamic vinegar (2 x HEA).
Dinner: Quorn fillets, stock potatoes, red onion, courgette, carrots, and cabbage.
Snacks: Nuts and Nakd bars (2 x HEB and 13.5 syns).
An okay food day today! Brekkie was the usual with the addition of a cold bowl of tomato soup…it was lovely and I needed it to fuel my PT session. Lunch was spinach and different green bits with green pepper, tomatoes, and an edamame bean salad with feta and balsamic vinegar. Dinner was Quorn fillets – over cooked and like rocks! – with veggies cooked in stock…so I didn't need gravy. And my snacks were nuts for my HEB options, and Nakd bars.
Exercise: 5 minute elliptical warm-up and a 60 minute weights PT session.
Thank you for reading,

For most people, the biggest advantage of the arbitration process is the reduced costs. Although paying for an arbitrator can be expensive, most arbitrations are concluded less expensively than traditional litigation. This is because arbitrations often take significantly less time to resolve than a lawsuit in district or superior court. Generally, a traditional lawsuit can take many months to get to the trial stage, and the costs of obtaining discovery and other attorney's fees can accumulate over this time. By contrast, an arbitration can take place in a matter of weeks, if not days. Although this "limited discovery" can keep costs down, it also makes it more difficult for your attorney to obtain all the relevant information about the case, which in turn makes it more difficult for the attorney to explain the evidence to an arbitrator.
An arbitration can also be less expensive for a client because of the lack of an appeals process. In traditional litigation, a losing party always has an opportunity to appeal an unfavorable decision, and a case is not resolved until that appeals process has run its course. However, an arbitrator's decision generally cannot be appealed, except in very limited and rare circumstances. Generally, an arbitrator's award can be overturned in Court only if there has been fraud or an abuse of discretion, which is difficult to establish. Although this has the benefit for the client of finality, it also deprives the client of the opportunity to re-litigate a wrong decision.
Arbitrations also have the benefit of privacy, because unlike traditional litigation, an arbitration dispute and the terms of any decision can remain confidential. In addition, an arbitrator is also commonly selected because of his or her familiarity with a particular industry. Unlike a judge who may know very little about the context of the dispute, an arbitrator will likely have a specialized understanding of the nature of the conflict and the surrounding circumstances.
One distinct disadvantage of arbitration is that a successful party could receive a reduced amount of interest on an award. Under Massachusetts General Laws c. 231 ? 6C, a successful party in traditional litigation can receive interest on an award at a rate of 12% per annum (or at contract rate) from the date of the breach or the date of demand. However, Sansone v. Metropolitan Property & Liab. Ins. Co. (1991) has made clear that the statute does not apply to an arbitrator's award, and a court cannot award pre-judgment interest if the arbitrator's award is silent on the issue.
Finally, clients should also be aware that an arbitrator will generally have the authority to decide a case under Massachusetts General Laws c. 93A, the state's consumer protection statute. In the Drywall Systems Inc. v. ZVI Const. Co., Inc. (2002), the Supreme Judicial Court held that not only was a claim under Chapter 93A subject to arbitration, but the arbitrator could award punitive damages and attorney's fees. The Court held that the statutory right in Chapter 93A to attorney's fees overrode the statutory prohibition against an arbitrator awarding them. Clients who wish to limit multiple damage claims under 93A should do so by the terms of their agreement to arbitrate.

Joy is seen in the eyes of a person who experiences happiness and love. You witness their true spirit and share in their delight. It is the look of God. It is a sign of grace. He expects us to feel His joy. God instilled goodness in everyone. Nothing moves without Him. He is in every thought and every breath. He gives life. Your joy is important to Him. He wants to watch you dance and hear you sing. It gives God great pleasure to see you smile.
Pain Is Never Forgotten
Some say that pain is felt in the moment and not experienced again. Others say you can overcome the pain and it will not haunt your dreams. Pain stays with you for a lifetime. The only way to get rid of pain, is to forgive. God offers you His hand. He shows you the way through forgiveness. He is the answer, the only answer.Why is this important? Pain torments you. It removes the person you are meant to be. It is an ache that digs in to the core of you and won't let go. There is a better way.
True Friends Care About Each Other
How do you know when you have made a true friend? True friends care about each other. You can count on them to be with you, listen to you, and be grateful for the time you spend together. A true friend builds you up, encourages you, and creates a special bond. They stand by you. You always feel connected and want to see them reach their greatest potential. You know their strengths and they know your strengths. Everyone needs someone, a mate to laugh, dance, and enjoy moments with. It is a free gift and it is genuine. You have a chance to be unique, test what you are made of, and never feel unappreciated. Your friend knows you very well, protects and defends you to the end. Some say that you can count your true friends on one hand. Others say friendships are as plentiful as the sand on the shore. The best part of having a friend is complete acceptance.
When Men Feel Pain
Men experience pain in a unique way. It overwhelms and envelopes their emotions. They sense loss and discomfort deep inside. They try to wrestle with it and it doesn't subside. It wrenches their heart. There is a better way. God is the great deliverer. He offers His hand and you are forgiven. He forgives you before you forgive yourself. Sometimes, it is hard to let go and let God into your life at the moment you need Him the most. You must trust Him. He removes your pain and takes it upon Himself. That is why He is God. That is why He loves you and cares about your happiness.
Make A Difference In Someone's Life Today
Do you know how if feels to really help another person rebuild their life? They look to you for support. You want to be there for them every step of the way.
You begin by making a commitment to show them they can always count on you. You lead by example and your decision to help improve their life will show others who to follow. It takes trusting in your own ability to share the load and give of yourself. Your strength comes from caring for the wellbeing of another person and the responsibility to be by their side.
Faith Is Trusting God
Faith brings people together with God to believe in the testimony of others. You trust God and He offers you a special connection with other believers.
Why is faith important in your life? This is where fellowship begins. Once you understand the true meaning of your faith, you will become a gift of testimony. You will be able to share your belief in God and change another person's life. You will experience God in every relationship and know His presence. What is testimony? Testimony is the way God spoke to those who wrote the Testaments. Each disciple accepted and received God's Word. They were transformed into apostles in order to witness God's grace.
You Are On A Journey
The way you begin your journey is determined by God. You might think that you journey without God, but that is far from the truth. He is with you every step of the way.
It all starts with God holding your hand. Do you feel His presence in your life? God wants you to know that He is with you and you are never alone. The path may be a short distance or it might be long and hard, with many challenges. There may be moments when you want to turn back. There may be days when you do not think you cannot go any further. God won't let you down. You must trust Him. He is with you and won't let you to go anywhere without Him.
Time With God
The way you spend your time each day is noticed by God. He urges and nudges you along and you must respond to Him. He wants you to recognize His voice and know that He is with you in every decision you make.
Do you listen to God's voice or the voice of others who do not know the plan He has for your life? Do you go about your day ignoring God? He will guide you and show you how He wants you to respond in all of your actions. Don't leave your life to chance circumstances or let the storms wash you away with their currents. Let God help you through each situation and He will provide you with the answers when you need to hear from Him.

Prepaid Solar Power Purchase Agreement
Project developers and installers have few solar financing options for non-profits like places of worship, schools and homeowner associations. Since non-profits don't have a tax bill, they can't use federal tax benefits, and they end up paying more for solar than for-profit enterprises. However, with HelioPower's prepaid solar power purchase agreement, non-profits CAN substantially reduce the cost of solar, using a structure commonly called a "prepaid PPA'.
Interested in a Prepaid PPA?
Financing solar for EPCs and Developers is becoming easier, but time is running out to take full advantage of the generous benefits.
What is a Prepaid Solar PPA?
Prepaid PPAs allow developers to attract financing partners who can use the tax benefits that would otherwise be stranded by the non-profit. The financing partner owns the solar system and sells the electricity that it generates to the non-profit. This allows non-profit solar customers to share in the savings. However, with the coming step-down of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), and the reduction in depreciation incentives beginning in 2018, non-profits who act soonest will be rewarded the most. Helio Micro Utility (Helio mU) has offered prepaid solar power purchase agreements since 2010, providing installers and developers a significantly improved solar financing structure for non-profit and other ITC-ineligible prospects.
How a Prepaid Solar Power Purchase Agreement Works
For Non-Profit Solar Customers
A Prepaid Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) reduces the cost of solar by approximately 15%, compared to the full cash price quoted by the developer. For example, a project quoted at $200,000 would cost the non-profit only $170,000. The $170,000 is structured to be a pre-payment for the energy that will be generated by the solar array. Because of this prepayment, the customer pays nothing more for solar energy for the life of the power purchase agreement, and still enjoys a lower monthly utility bill.
An additional $10,000 or so of savings can easily be had over the first 6 years by avoiding the expenses that come with maintaining the system, as those are the responsibility of the investor-owner. The non-profit then takes full ownership of the system at the end of Year 6 without any additional payouts.
The non-profit can use cash-on-hand for the prepayment, or fund with a loan, as they might with the purchase of the system. The difference between the purchase and the prepaid solar PPA again, is the prepaid PPA enables the non-profit to share in the tax attributes of the project. In the case of a "house of worship" (e.g. church), for example, the prepayment could also be funded through tax-deductible donations by congregation members. This creates savings for everyone, including the church, and conveys a sense of community ownership and pride. Helio mU can even direct you towards resources that assist in gathering such contributions through online platforms.
For Installers and Developers
The installer gets their full quoted price and an operations & maintenance contract, if appropriate. Although the non-profit pays 85% of your price, the remaining 15% is funded by a third-party investor/owner, just as in a regular PPA. Considering that many installers don't offer a prepaid solar power purchase agreement as a financing option to the non-profit, you can be confident that your price is substantially lower than your competitors.
The investor-owner uses the prepayment to fund 85% of the installation costs, and provides 15% of their own capital, plus a fee to Helio Micro Utility for structuring the transaction. The investor-owner's compensation comes in the form of tax benefits, which the non-profit cannot use. When those tax benefits are exhausted after the 5th year, the investor-owner and non-profit exchange the remaining prepaid energy for solar facility ownership, and the non-profit becomes the solar facility owner without any additional cash outlay.
About Helio Micro Utility
Helio Micro Utility works with solar installers and developers to finance and execute Prepaid PPAs, and ensure a profitable outcome for all parties: a fair installation price and timely payment for installers, energy savings for non-profits and other offtakers, and attractive tax savings to investor-owners. Helio mU is the industry leader in prepaid solar power purchase agreements, winning the coveted "Tax Credits Development of Distinction Award" from Novogradac for its pioneering work using a Prepaid PPA to deploy solar on 100 affordable housing rooftops back in 2010.

From May 3, 2020 to May 6, 2020 the Society of Saint Pius X Japan organizes the 14th official pilgrimage to Akita, Led by Rev. Father Patrick Summers (SSPX) and Fr Thomas Onoda (SSPX)
The third message, October 13th, 1973
As I had told you before, if men do not repent, the Heavenly Father is going to inflict a great chastisement upon mankind. It must definitely be a punishment greater than the Deluge, such as has never been efore. Fire will plunge from Heaven and a large part of mankind will die through this calamity. The good as well as the wicked will die, sparing neither priests nor the faithful. Survivors will have such terrible hardships that they would envy the dead. Then, the only weapons which will remain for us will be the Rosary and the sign left by my Divine Son. Every day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the bishops and priests. The work of Satan will infiltrate even into the Church, where cardinals will oppose cardinals and bishops against bishops. Priests who venerate me will be scorned and attacked by their confreres. Altars and churches will be sacked and the churches will be full of those who compromise. Many priests and religious will abandon their vocations by the temptations by Satan. Especially Satan is working to influence souls consecrated to the Divine Father. The perdition of many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins continue, there would be no longer the forgiveness of sins.
For more information, please see the flyer.

We haven't found any digital download available at this moment.
No classic box available at the moment.
Fantastic controls for fun racing
Not many arcade style racing games are good enough to be addictive as this game is. Screamer Rally is not a top notch in this category but has some very good offerings. Starting with the gameplay, you have three different racing modes namely, time attack mode, arcade mode and the championship mode. The arcade mode in it basically a single race mode which is fun but is not that competitive. The time attack mode is obviously a tough one as you need to be very effective in your time for completeing differed laps. Similarly the championship mode put you in race with some tough riders in a diverse tournament. The game lacks in terms of the variety of cars and the tracks but it is the fantastic controls that make it great. I loved the controls because they have managed to achieve a great balance that makes controlling cars neither tough nor easy. You can take hard turns without losing much of the speed but you will have to master the controls for this purpose. The graphics are above average and the sounds of the car while racing is realistic and thrilling. Download Screamer Rally game and also let me suggest Xpand Rally that is on the same page.
Engines are screaming!
How many of you have played racing game at the arcade? Is there any racing game from the arcade worth mentioning? Or a PC game that delivers almost the same experience? Screamer Rally is one racing game that truly offers arcade standards of fun. While not on par with other racing games like NFS 2 or Colin McRae Rally 2, this game has a lot of things to keep you in from of the monitor and having fun. The games offers three mode of gameplay: arcade which is just a single race mode, time attack, a normal rally-type game and championship which the name suggests. The cars in the game control rather differently, but the overall experience is great. The car doesn't nor too slippery nor too hard to take corners. It's pure arcade style fun. Although there's not much variety of tracks and cars, the game doesn't bring boredom too soon. Only because of the great control, you would have a hard time leaving your computer. The AI is somewhat dumb, but it's not unfair, like in not making any mistakes at all. No, the AI in the game feels balanced, but sometimes they can cause trouble (like hitting from behind when taking a corner). The graphics are superb, mainly due to the fact that the attention to detail is extraordinary for a 1990's game. The engine sounds are really good and makes the game deserve the name it got, because the engine "scream" beautifully. In conclusion, anyone who wants to try out a game that would deliver arcade style fun and standards that only games from the arcade can offer, Screamer Rally must be in your game collection!

Newcastle's 21-year-old striker Ivan Tony is making real progress at Newcastle, and he's been playing well for Peter Beardsley's U23 side.
Last season Ivan had two successful loan spells – one at Shrewsbury where he scored 7 goals and had 7 assists in 26 total appearances and then one at Scunthorpe when he scored 7 goals and one assist in 17 appearances.
Ivan is quietly becoming a better player at Newcastle, and we expect him to be loaned out again next season so he can get more first team games under his belt.
Scunthorpe manager Graham Alexander would like Ivan next season on loan too, and the club has already been in touch with Newcastle about their interest in a second loan deal for the young striker.
This is what Alexander has said about Ivan in the Scunthorpe Telegraph:
"I haven't seen Ivan join anywhere so if Newcastle has made it clear to Ivan that they see him going out and playing then there is a possibility of him coming here."
"He had a great time with us last season, and I think we were good for him, but I am sure other clubs will be in for his services."
"We will try our hardest but if not we will do something else."
"Ivan is certainly in our thoughts, and has been since the end of last season, so we will see what comes about in the next week or so."
Toney joined Newcastle United in August two years ago on a long-term contract, and he's played 4 times so far for the Newcastle first team.
Maybe Rafa will see if there is any interest from some Championship clubs for the striker next season, but wherever he ends up on loan, it's essential he gets first team playing time.
What do you think?
Comments welcome

Jail, needs to show he's ready for that first mate. Preferably a minimum of ten in the first division up until January then move him up perhaps.
No doubt Rafa will have studied the vids from every game he played in and on that evidence make his decision. He needs to cut out the yellow cards like, he's as bad as Mitro nearly! 🙂
I'm sure Rafa will do the right thing by him though, he has potential.
Bobby…a CV looks backwards so it all good Rafa has done alot in his career and we are all happy we finally have a great manager at this great club….should have happened a long time ago.
…but stop sugar coating our situation…Rafa can't safe us just by his presence! We need reinforcement and Rafa knows that…he don't want finish low in the lower third.
If the season started tomorrow we would no doubt struggle…I know you don't feel that way and it surely haven't anything to do with red tinted glasses 😉
Jesper, hardly sugar coated if you read it properly.
I say we're the third worse off team in the table due to promotion and sit at the bottom rung, with no divine right to be anywhere else just because of who we are.
Our only advantage is Rafa, but point out he's a realist. Anything we achieve will be down to hard work and togetherness and we're in for a hard season. Proper sugar coating that! 🙂
You seem to think he won't settle for bottom third, I beg to differ. With what we have he'll settle for anything above the bottom three imo.
That said, I don't think we will struggle against relegation for the reasons I stated.
Maybe a bit lost in translation matey. 🙂 I think you'll find that since May I've been at the forefront of trying to keep people's feet firmly planted on the ground, when European places were being suggested.
You might have red tinted glasses my friend, mine are 100% black and white tinted with realism. 🙂
The spending isn't over anyway, we'll strengthen before the end of the window. We're in for a long hard season, but one I'm confident we'll come through in a reasonable position, which is anywhere from 17th to tenthish.
From the Mag:
'Official Newcastle United announcement:
Newcastle United have confirmed details for the Club's annual family Open Day, which will take place at St. James' Park on Monday (1st August).
The event, which is free of charge for fans of all ages, will run from 9am until 2pm and will once again feature access to a Fanzone and first team training session inside the stadium.
Around 14,000 people attended last season's Open Day and the Club is anticipating another huge turnout.
To ensure the safety of attendees in the Fanzone and at the club store, where the Club's 2016/17 away and third kits will go on sale, Strawberry Place will be closed to traffic from midnight until 4pm on Monday (1st August).
The Fanzone will include a number of football-related activities including a penalty kick area and speed cage, as well as an assault course, face painting area and small fairground rides.
The Fanzone will open at 9am, when access to East Stand seating will also open. Subject to attendance levels, supporters will subsequently be directed by stewards to additional seating areas once the East Stand is full.
The first action inside the stadium will commence at 9.45am, when participants from a range of Newcastle United Foundation coaching courses and the Newcastle United Academy showcase their skills on the pitch.'
Yup, my mistake, fair do's 🙂 No idea why I thought the friendly was Saturday then, was sure I read we had eight days after the friendly to prepare for Spurs… 🙂
Not to worry, can record the Bolton game so same applies. My mate in Keighley always gets the friendly and cup tickets the second they come out, so we sit on the halfway line, so I've not even looked at them yet. Hopefully I would've realised before then and not turned up, but you never know. 🙂
