Just a quick update for the curious... One of the two organs I'm losing this year has gone, so there is now one left to remove.
On Monday, I had my gallbladder taken out. It went fine, I now have glorious bruises and hurt a lot, but I no longer have gallstones. I still don't like general anesthesia, it's still incredibly disorienting to wake up. I think I bitched about pain before I was fully conscious, for some reason this was way more painful than the last laparoscopic procedure I had done in January. I am having trouble keeping food down, but it's getting better. So far I've managed to keep about two ounces of pudding, four crackers, a cup of tea, a small portion of soup, and some water (put like that, I suddenly see my mother's point about needing to eat more). I even managed to get a little sleep last night. I will be healing for the next several weeks, so will be getting virtually nothing done for the store or the comics.
On November 8, they will be taking out my thyroid. I will be on thyroid medications for the rest of my life. I don't know yet how bad that surgery will be, but my thyroid has grown up over my hyoid and down into my chest, so even though my hormone levels are fine and it's functioning perfectly, they still have to take it out as soon as possible. I constantly feel a little bit like I'm being force choked. However, I've been assured that the recovery time for that surgery is only a few days, so hopefully I'll be back in shape to work on the store and comics by December.

Thanks to Christy for inviting me to a food tasting at Nu Er Hong on the 17th. Since it was near Easter week, the guests were all given a chocolate bunny! Look how cute mine is!
I couldn't bear to eat it, also, cos I don't have a sweet tooth and dislike white chocolate. I only picked this cos it's cute. The milk chocolate one looked tasty but wasn't as cute. Anyway, it is sipping one of the best teas I've had in Kuching!
We were given peanuts and this wondrous Four Season Oolong (RM12 per pot) while we waited for the food to be served. It is an aromatic light tea which would go perfectly with dim sum!
The food was placed on a table for photography. Pictured above is the Deep Fried Spicy Bean Curd Dumpling and Crispy Duck with Coriander Leaves Sauce. In the background is the Fruits Sorbet Terrine.
April Specials
Due to my very late post, you only have one more day to try the polo buns which come in the following flavors: Red Bean, Sesame, Cheese and Butter. But trust me when I say you are not missing out, unless you really love polo buns. In which case, I'm sorry I didn't update earlier ;D
Also this next dish is pretty good as well... Presenting... Two Flavor Prawns!
The prawns were very succulent and juicily crunchy. It is the highlight of our entire meal! Unfortunately, you only have today and tomorrow to try it because after April, the chef will move on to another special.
I absolutely adored the marmite flavored prawns. I inhaled them. They were really tasty, with olives and bits of pineapple to zest them up. They are little balls of heavenly flavor, bursting in your mouth with every bite.
The butter prawns paled in comparison with the marmite prawns. While the texture and flavor was there, it just can't live up to its more interesting counterpart. But it complements the marmite prawns excellently, stimulating your tastebuds with a dose of sweetness.
May Specials
I am not a fan of coriander or duck... But the two ingredients neutralized each others distinct taste. Furthermore, duck is quite hard to handle in the kitchen, in the sense that it always ends up too dry to too tough. But this duck was perfectly tender!
The Deep Fried Spicy Bean Curd is quite disappointing to me because I enjoy spicy food and it was not quite spicy enough. But I had quite a few because the tofu was still incredibly silken, despite being deep fried!
June Specials
You must try the Scallop dumplings - and eat them while they are still steaming hot. I don't know exactly what is in the dumplings but it is a delicious blend of flavors!!
The Cheese Chicken Pie was not fantastic due to the texture of the filling. I prefer my pie fillings to be chunky, but some may find the smooth, yam-like consistency delicious. I'll let you be the judge and try it for yourself this coming June!
This is the Nyonya Assam Steamed Fish. There is a choice of either Seabass or Batang Ai Red Tilapia. I have to give it to them, the fish is super fresh and sweet! But the assam was not sour or spicy enough for me.
Ongoing Dishes
The sorbet was what I was waiting for! The Fruits Sorbet Terrine was surrounded with a bouquet of fresh, high quality fruits and the sorbet itself is made from dragonfruit and lychee. It is a refreshing alternative to other desserts and is also a healthier choice! Pre-payment is required for this dish, and at RM45, it comes paired with 2 glasses of dessert wine which may be changed to non-alcoholic beverages. Also, it is only served between 8pm to 10pm.

WHAT IF GOD...? Thought-Provoking Reflections About God (Michael Caputo)
(Click on title for more information)
The Destruction of the Canaanites
David's Punishment for the Census
Abraham was asked by God to leave his family behind and move to the Land of Canaan, the future abode of his descendents. But God did not want Abraham's children to intermarry with the degenerate people of the land. Abraham, knowing God's wishes, forbad Isaac to marry a Canaanite. Isaac, in turn, did the same with his son Jacob: "Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him, and said to him: 'You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan'"(Genesis 28:1). Jacob was to go back to his own people and marry someone from his own extended family, and so he married his cousins Leah and Rachel who gave birth to the twelve tribes of Israel.
But what if God had allowed Jacob to marry a Canaanite? What if the twelve tribes had been born of a Canaanite woman?
If Jacob had married a degenerate Canaanite, it would have had potentially disastrous consequences. Jacob's family would have become a part of a people whose extreme immorality and evil ways was a daily offense to God and whose destiny would ultimately be destruction. Sodom and Gomorrah had been eradicated, but the rest of the Canaanites were moving in the same evil direction. God had already foretold to Abraham that the inhabitants of the land would have been, ultimately, eradicated, though their iniquity was "not yet complete" (Genesis 15:16). Although not complete, it was quite pervasive, and God did not want His chosen family to be polluted by them in any way.
Intermarriage could have led Jacob into potentially embracing the evil ways of the land. That would have led to his immediate descendents into embracing idolatry and the other immoral ways of the Canaanites. Such compromises would have led to God's pouring His wrath upon them within a few generations.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob listened to God's wishes and were blessed. Later on, their descendents did not heed God's warning and took Canaanite women to wife, learned the ways of the land, deteriorated drastically and, consequently, were sent into captivity. God's warning not to be "unequally yoked together with unbelievers" (II Cor. 6:14) remains intact into the New Testament, and it is to be heeded today as well. Not heeding it, can lead to spiritual deterioration, an eventual fall from God's ways and, consequently, God's rejection.
God did not want Jacob to marry a Canaanite, because the holy seed was not to mingle with the degenerate Canaanites. God knew that rotten apples have a certain way of affecting the good ones. That was not to be, as He had a plan for Israel that entailed spiritual purity. Fortunately, Jacob and his sons followed God's ways and God's plan went ahead as intended.

Management is doing things right; Leadership is doing the right things.
– Peter Ducker, American Businessman
– Peter Ducker, American Businessman
One of the great challenges of building a profitable strata management company is responding to electronic communication on a pricing model that hasn't changed much since before the internet was invented.
The average price per lot for strata management services in 1980 was $120 per lot per annum plus disbursements and insurance commission, and now is about $150 per annum with the same annoying extra charges.
These prices were set in the days when people wrote letters and things were a little more relaxed. Now it's different. People communicate instantly and expect the same in response.
Same price, same method, different communication channels and service expectations: it's an unsustainable business model. That's why we use MyBlock™ for every scheme we manage no matter how large or small.
MyBlock™ is a web-based portal. All your documents are there, you can see your levy account in real time, pay your levies on line and track your requests for strata repairs and approvals from the owners corporation. It's secure and like most social media platforms, it has a 'wall' so you can post your messages for all your co owners and tenants to see and respond.
The beauty of MyBlock™ is that it reduces email traffic that excludes some people who need to know what's going on and improves our profitability. Everyone's literally on the same page, and we've got more time to attend to the tasks we've undertaken to do on your behalf without needing to change the traditional pricing model.
When we considered forming Block Strata™ we thought a lot about what strata owners really want and what was available from our competitors. We came to the conclusion there are a lot of strata managers about, but not many strata leaders.
We decided to be strata leaders.
A leader knows the right things to be done. It's a very different skill from the equally important, by more commonly available skill of managers, doing things right.
In strata, the right things to be done are fourfold, and there's an order in which they must be done for leadership to be effective. We call our strata leadership system BlockMatic™ because it guides our elected committees automatically from the moment they are elected through a series of four quarterly checklists until the next general meeting.
This way our committee members do the right things and leave us to do things right.
Managing Director – Block Strata,
Rent roll manger
Property investor and boarding house owner
'I have always found dealing with traditional strata management firms very hard. Nothing is ever clear and everything takes so long. There are no forms and procedures available on the web to help people do the right thing and then all hell breaks out when things don't go according to the strata rules. It would make the lives of our tenants and property owners much better if we could access information about strata without having to bother the strata manager.' – Jacqui

Why do Bees Make Honey? Honeybees collect nectar and store it as honey in their hives. Nectar and honey provide the energy for the bees' flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter period. Honeybees also collect pollen which supplies protein for bee brood to grow.
Honey bees live in colonies that are often maintained, fed, and transported by beekeepers. Centuries of selective breeding by humans have created honey bees that produce far more honey than the colony needs. Beekeepers harvest the honey. Beekeepers provide a place for the colony to live and to store honey in. The modern beehive is made up of a series of square or rectangular boxes without tops or bottoms placed one on top of another. Inside the boxes, frames are hung in parallel, in which bees build up the wax honeycomb in which they both raise brood and store honey. Modern hives enable beekeepers to transport bees, moving from field to field as the crop needs pollinating and allowing the beekeeper to charge for the pollination services they provide.
A colony generally contains one breeding female, or "queen"; a few thousand males, or "drones"; and a large population of sterile female "worker" bees. The population of a healthy hive in mid-summer can average between 40,000 and 80,000 bees. The workers cooperate to find food and use a pattern of "dancing" to communicate with each other.

If you know me, you know I'm difficult to offend. Sure I rant and the stupidity of humans angers me, but I don't often take offense. My buttons are about a millimeter wide and protected behind a 5 inch shield of lead-like apathy. Just about nothing gets to me on a personal level.
Anyone that called this as a lead up to "but this one thing…" may now have a lollipop. (Disclaimer: Lollipops not included. Readers must provide their own.)
Of all the things I thought might ever offend me, however, a math textbook would never have made the list. And yet, it happened just yesterday.
So I'm working along on statistics problems, when I come to a problem that asks me to match a set of histograms with a set of questions that were used to generate the data the histograms are based on. No numbers, just the shape of the 'grams and guesswork to go on. It's not a hard question, since two of the inquiries are binary. Two responses only, which are entered into the data set as 0 or 1.
The binary questions are as follows: "are you right or left handed?" and "are you male or female?"
Well, I know the proportions of right to left handedness in the general population, so that's a snap. But then comes the attached critical thinking exercise.
"Figure 5.18 shows histograms of the student responses, in scrambled order and without scale markings. Which histogram goes with each variable? Explain your reasoning. Would the 0–1 coding scheme work for someone who is ambidextrous (or transgendered)?" (COMAP 198. Emphasis added.)
I freely admit that I almost didn't catch this. I was buzzing along, saw the word ambidextrous, and was all prepared to say "nope, wouldn't work." Thankfully it was a critical thinking exercise, and I realized my mistake. And then I got to thinking about it, and became mightily offended.The implication here, for anyone that missed it, is as follows: ambidexterity represents a third option in handedness, since by definition an ambidextrous person is neither left nor right handed. Following that train to it's inevitable wreck, a transgender person represents a third option because they are neither male nor female.
I actually didn't finish my freaking homework, I was so pissed. Since my math prof (who didn't choose the book) doesn't want, need or deserve a manifesto-like tract about discriminatory questions in textbooks, I gave him a paragraph about why the question is flawed, and left it at that. But the fact that I would even see that question in my textbook is freaking insane. This is a god damned college textbook. Why am I seeing discriminatory questions in a freaking college textbook?
Now, most of you might know why this is wrong, but I'm going to spell it out as best I can anyway. This is one of those things that I'm going to have trouble explaining, not because it's a hard concept, mind, but because it's so bloody basic it catches me off guard when I have to explain it. So please bear with me.
A transgender individual is born one biological sex, but is actually the gender associated with the opposite biological sexual characteristics. (Simplified explanation is simple. Go read the documentation if you want details, ok?)
So, a woman is born with a male body, or a man is born with a female body. The key point here is: fuck biology. The mind of a transgender person isn't out of place, the body is. So a transwoman is a woman, full stop, end of sentence, no further freaking qualifiers. Just a woman. Same goes for transmen. That's a man, done, end of story.
There is no third option. There is no in-between state that magically appears because some loser with a bias doesn't have enough brain cells to store anything but the Bible verses some lunatic uses to denounce what ever makes him hard.
I've heard about and read about discrimination against trans individuals based on their "real gender" (read: congenital biological sexual characteristics.) And that's horrific unto itself. I literally cannot comprehend the pain that it must incur to look in a mirror and see the wrong person staring back. These are individuals whose bodies are the wrong everything. Not just "I think I'll color my hair, cause the color isn't me" or "I think I'll get my teeth whitened and straightened" but the whole freaking enchilada. Nothing matches.
And yet there are still people who will insist on mistreating trans individuals based on their congenital sex. Not all trans individuals get a perfect transition, if they can get one at all. So in some cases, an observer that's already primed to discriminate might see a congenital biological male or female standing in front of them instead of the woman or man who is clearly standing there.
But my textbook goes that one step further, beyond cruelty and into the realms of horror. It implies that because the gender is one, and the biology is another, the person is neither.
Again: what?
What in the name of all the gods above and below gives anyone the right to decide a person is not a person?
Do we not remember slavery? The decision to call an entire chunk of our race sub-or-abhuman because of a skin color? How about pre-suffrage women's rights? You know, when women couldn't own anything and were treated as baby machines and free labor? Cause they were women?
What the hell is wrong with these degenerate, xenophobic, misbegotten trolls?
No-one gets to make those decisions! No-one gets to declare that a person is not a person, for whatever reason! Gods-damned ax-murderers get the basic respect of being treated as human beings, and we can't extend that courtesy to someone that has enough freaking problems without putting up with bullcrap from some bigoted worm turd?
Taking deep breath now. Blood pressure too high already.
For anyone out there (though I doubt you'd read this if you were) who has decided that their opinion matters more than the mental, emotional and physical health of a human being:
You don't get to decide that. You can have your short-sighted, close-minded, ignorant opinion. But don't you freaking dare take it out on trans people. Your lack of functioning brain cells are not their problem.

Get an Essay About College Quickly!
Being a student is always prestigious. Just remember that very many years ago people went crazy over an idea to get the education, though it was a too big luxury for the ordinary people. Only the aristocracy had such an opportunity and only masculine part of society was allowed to get some education.
Today, each of us has a right to study and do this at any age. This right is provided by the Constitution and nobody bothers the young men to enter the universities and the colleges they like. Unfortunately, not all the school graduates want to continue their study at colleges and the biggest number of college attendances are because the parents wanted this to happen.
My Own Experience
My parents always dreamt about a fantastic future for me. They both had the higher education and they built the perfect careers. Despite the common opinion that it was not very easy for women to be a wife, bring up the kids, and be a good professional in her field of activity at that, my mother was a woman, who broke all the stereotypes. Her talent for plastic surgery was a real gift from God. Her fame resounded throughout the world. She made several operations a day. If you could know whom she operated! The crowd of celebrities wanted her to do magic for them and turn them into the beauties.
My father's profession was not so demandable, though he succeeded in business, which he built from scratch. I think you understand that my destiny had been determined long before I was born. I had to be as talented as my parents and, thank God, I wasn't deprived of cute mind.
An essay on why I want to go to college was more than burning for me, because it was time to determine with my future plans. My parents said that I had just two variants: to attend college, or… to attend college! Even if it sounds a bit silly, it was the truth and I had no right not to study and get no further education. I was young, though my desire to be as successful as my parents pushed me to move forward without making any stops. College was able to draw me nearer to my dream and it was the main reason why I was dreaming about college education.
Reasons to Say 'Yes' to Studying at College
Very many students can't determine whether it is necessary to waste 4 years on learning the rules, writing the essays, and digging into the books. The most powerful argument that can be made by the parents for attending the high school is that a diploma will help to get high incomes after that. Such an argument is not sounded enough weighty for those young, who have just left the school. Money is not the main purpose in their life. Unlike the adults, who waste their lives on becoming a bit richer, the young should be proposed some other motivation but money.
When the teenagers meet with a task to compose 'Why do I want to go to college essay', they open their eyes wide and become speechless. The reason of such a behavior is absolutely understandable: an idea to go to college belongs not to the children, but mostly to their parents.
How the young can motivate themselves to enter the college? The further info can be very useful for those, who haven't taken any decisions yet.
- College can become the best place for you to start your life from scratch and present you as an absolutely another person. There will be a lot of new people, who know nothing about your life and past achievements and it will be easy for you to forget about your old childish habits and appear in new light.
- Just imagine how many new friends you will find at college! The collegiate friendship is considered to be the closest, by the way.
- College is not just the boring lectures and dull pastime with books. Choose your favorite current, which you are ready to dedicate your future life to, and enjoy studying it. I am sure that it will be interesting! Among a pretty amount of colleges you will definitely find one, which you'll like!
- It is college that is able to help you to transit into your adulthood quicker and start tacking the important decisions yourself.
- College is usually proposes its students to develop the interests and qualities the last have. There are a lot of kinds of activities, where you can apply your skills. Are you a good writer and the journalism is interesting for you? Become a journalist of the collegiate paper and improve your skills even more.
- College is a good starting point for those, who have never led their independent lives. If you still don't know what you are going to be, college will be able to help you to find your own way.
- Only college is able to propose you so much fun! You will remember this period forever and you will even feel sad over the fact that this time has already passed.
Writing the essays about college is a really creative project, which requires from the authors a complete understanding of their goals, plans for the future, and desires, which they are going to bring to life soon. It is not enough to find any essay on the Net, rewrite it then, and present as your own. This work needs a profound thinking and any teacher will find the fake at once. If it happened that you are going to enter the college against your will and you have no ideas what to write about, or if you are simply not a good writer, you may easily buy a paper at Bigessaywriter.com. The experts will compose an essay of any level of complexity especially for you and all your demands will be taken into consideration. If your essay is the only problem, which disturbs you now, soon you will be released from it forever.

Yesterday, Velocity and Surge developer FuturLab signed an exclusive deal with Sony to produce exclusive content for the PS Vita in 2013, while still keeping the IP rights. We caught up with Managing Director James Marsden to discuss the deal, PS minis, PS Mobile, the Vita and more.
Hi James, congratulations on the deal! How do you feel?
Hey! I'm excited, relieved and pretty damned happy 🙂
Can you tell me about some of the struggles you've had to go through – from failed pitches to rejected titles – to get to the enviable stage where now you have access to Sony's funds, but get to keep your IP rights?
We've just paid our dues I think. I had the naive enthusiasm to pitch to Sony without any experience, and whilst we managed to dazzle them with our creative thinking back then, there was no meat on the bones. Over the last few years we've proven that we can deliver quality products, and now we're building a solid team of professionals to carry our ideas forward.
Do you think this financial stability will change your approach to game development?
It'll allow us to focus more. All of our games to date have been produced under very stressful circumstances keeping bills paid with work for hire.
However, we're going to keep our lean approach to game design; we'll still prioritize quality ideas and game play over every other aspect.
The press release says that you'll be working on games for the PS Vita. I assume this means PlayStation Mobile, or am I wrong?
It means native PlayStation Vita titles, fully PSN integrated with trophies, leaderboards, near etc. All that good stuff.
PSN and XBL developers have been highly critical over the costs involved in patching their games, something that can cost tens of thousands. Sony pub-funded titles have free patching, but what about minis and PSM?
I think it's free to patch the first few times on minis, not sure about PSM – I assume it'll be free.
I always felt the name 'PS Minis' gave the wrong impression – that the games were small and of less importance – but titles like Velocity proved otherwise. Do you think that the name limited the potential impact and success of titles?
My personal opinion is that I don't think the name was the problem. The technical limitations of the platform were the problem, and minis, rather than being known for quick gaming on the move with online high scores, it became the label for titles that were crippled by limitation. That should be a different story with PlayStation Mobile.
How would you compare PlayStation Mobile to PS minis – both from a development and a business perspective?
PlayStation Mobile is a breeze compared to PS minis. The SDK is better, the tools and documentation is better, the submission process is not only quicker but also easier to get your head around –easier than iOS actually. On the whole I think PSM is a vast improvement over minis.
There are obviously a lot of iOS and non-PSM Android phones and tablets out there. Isn't it tempting to try and tap that lucrative market?
No, we like the core audience and we enjoy making games for them.
What are your thoughts on the success of the PS Vita? Are you worried that it hasn't exactly dominated the charts?
I'm not worried. Sony are investing in us, and we're going to be making great games for it – we're not the only studio.
Non-bundled Vitas don't include memory cards. Is that a problem when your games are 100% digital?
I don't think so. The price of the memory cards is an issue though.
Are you happy with how accessible PSM is through the PS Vita's PSN Store, or should it get a more visible, more prominent placement?
It would be good if PS Mobile games showed up in the PS Vita games categories, with a label 'PS Mobile' next to the game title.
We've spoken to a lot of hackers and modders over the years, with many saying that if they've bought the hardware they should be able to do what they want with it. As a small developer who could be hugely impacted by piracy, what would you say to those working on hacking the Vita right now?
I'm also not concerned about hacking. People that have disposable income to spend on games, buy games.
Free-to-play is a big buzzword at the moment, everyone's trying to experiment with it, especially indie developers. What are your thoughts on the business practice?
I liken the current free-to-play games to fast food. It's not good for you, but you eat it anyway. There's consumer backlash about the lack of quality, but ultimately people don't stop eating it, and companies like McDonald's rake in a fortune.
That's working great for some companies now, but there's a serious problem with the business model as it stands, because you need talented people to create great products, and talented people don't want to work for McDonald's.
For example: as a talented programmer, you can either choose to work in a bank and not be creatively challenged but make a lot of money, or you can work in games and get paid less, but have a more fulfilling career. I think there will come a time when making free-to-play games won't be far off working in a bank, and at that point employees will decide whether or not free-to-play will succeed, because they'll either continue working on shallow games, or they'll seek something more fulfilling.
It's certainly working for a lot of studios right now, but the games they're producing are creatively and artistically vapid. We'll do our part to try and change that as we'd be foolish not to give free-to-play a try.
Also, I'm very excited to play Hawken 🙂
Are there any plans to make Velocity a PSM game?
No plans I'm afraid.
Tell us something no one knows about 'Fan Powered Flight'. Especially something about "strictlyasausage".
Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about…

According to the latest government tracking data, workforce fatalities are down this year due in part to the depressed economy. Even though the construction industry is in decline, we still have several industries here in Orange County and Southern California that can cause serious injuries if the proper safety procedures are not in place. As a California injury lawyer, we are dedicated to assisting where we can to reduce needless injury. Here are just three examples.
Last week a massive explosion rocked Simi Valley's industrial area where a man was killed while experimenting with hydrogen and oxygen while trying to generate alternative fuels. The accident happened while Realms employee, Tyson Larson was heating water in a pressurized container. The container exploded, killing Larson and injuring two of his co-workers. The blast could be heard up to one block away and the explosion was so violent that it caved in the roof. Cal-OSHA is still investigating but prior accident records indicate a similar explosion just 18 months ago.
Another recent industrial accident occurred in the Costa Mesa-based company Cera dyne. A 26 year old man is in critical condition after suffering traumatic injuries from flying shrapnel to the head and body. Initial Cal-OSHA reports state that the machinery failed but that the full investigation could take upwards of 3 months.
Many tragic accidents happen at the workplace here in California. In 2008, 465 workers tragically died due to unsafe work environments. In addition to general workplace dangers, industries such as construction and manufacturing have the lead in most fatalities. Seventy two people died in construction-related work last year, nearly one in four. By far the greatest personal injury occurring for this type of work involves transportation. Nearly half of all workers' injuries occurred either transporting cargo or commuting to a job site.
Another major industrial accident in Los Angeles just last week claimed the legs of a meat packer utilizing a multi-blade grinder. For some unknown reason, his legs got stuck and he was rushed to a nearby hospital in serious condition. The doctors had to amputate his legs above the knees.
In catastrophic injury cases such as these, usually workers will receive employer mandated workers compensation. However, here in California, this insurance may not be able to cover all current and future medical costs, and never is pain and suffering paid. In some cases, these injured workers may need to file a third-party claim against a third party for negligence. This is a specialized area and a California injury lawyer is the only expert to review the case to see if you are able to bring an action outside of workers compensation.
How would you know if this is an option for you or your family? Obtain a private consultation with a California personal injury attorney at 1 866 981-5596 to discuss your claim, rights and options.
If you are an employer in the state of California, it is important to follow CAL-OSHA rules and regulations regarding workplace safety. Here are a few of the most important tips:
• In order to keep a safe workplace, create, execute and maintain an Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
• Identify potential unsafe conditions and perform regular inspections • Keep thorough record of onsite injuries • Communicate operating procedures to your employees and advise them of the options and rights under the law.
• Train employees properly in the use of potentially dangerous equipment • Report injuries immediately to the nearest Cal OSHA district office
You can obtain a full list of regulations at Cal-OSHA's website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/

Michele Bachmann kindly wrote an opinion piece for this publication, calling for the Muslim Brotherhood to be designated as a terror organisation. This is a step that many in Egypt would welcome, as it is already a major component of the rhetoric used by the media and government, which have such influence over large parts of the population.
Bachmann visited Egypt last week with two of her fellow republican representatives, Steve King and Louis Gohmert. This is the trio's second trip to Egypt in recent months.
They have all been a strong supporter of the military intervention in Egypt and seem to be desperately trying to fit in. It is well known that Bachmann is not a fan of Islamists, most recently suggesting that the Brotherhood had infiltrated the US administration. She called on US citizens to "ask for answers to questions regarding the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical groups' access to top [President Barack] Obama administration officials."
At the end her visit to Egypt in September, she erroneously implied the Brotherhood was to blame for the 9/11-terror attack in the US in a press conference televised on Egypt's ONTV. The three republicans expressed their unwavering support for the Egyptian military and its efforts in fighting terrorism.
Now Bachmann is once again throwing her weight behind Egypt's interim government and military, through issuing an opinion that sounds like it could have been written in the halls of Maspero.
One topic Bachmann highlights is that of the Muslim Brotherhood's double-speak; the illuminating "MB in English" blog displayed this perfectly, translating articles published on the Brotherhood's Arabic website that stood in stark contrast to the English equivalent.
Believe it or not though, Bachmann is guilty of a bit of double-speak herself.
The military and government claim to be protecting the 25 January and 30 June "revolutions". Bachmann may have been cheering in front of her television earlier in 2013 but rewind to 2011 and there is a very different picture. She accused Obama of "sitting on his hands" while former President Hosni Mubarak was toppled (34mins – unless you want to watch the whole speech…). This is definitely not the kind of "support" that the majority of Egyptians would want to hear.
Bachmann may say now that she will "stand strong" by the Egyptian people and military but that obviously wasn't the case in 2011 and who is to say it is today? Bachmann is a republican crowd pleaser, she opposed Mubarak's ousting because it was another way to take a jab at Obama's foreign policy and her support now of Egypt is for the same reason. The administration was considering the suspension of military aid during her visit in September and she then expressed her unwavering opposition to any change in the terms of the aid package.
Her two tours in the Middle East over the last few months, accompanied by two other republican representatives, only served as an attempt to undermine Obama's policy in the region. To be absolutely clear I am not supporting Obama's foreign policy but rather questioning Bachmann's motivation for her assertions. It almost seems that the trio are taking the opportunity to further weaken the US administration's position in the region at a time when it is already vulnerable.
If Bachmann really does care about Egypt I would suggest that she starts by not making such inflammatory assertions regarding an internal matter of the legal status of the Brotherhood.
In her op-ed, Bachmann provided us all with a brief history of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which was mostly accurate. She did fail to mention that in the 1970s the Brotherhood de-radicalised, put down their weapons and actively sought to engage in the political arena, but that wouldn't fit into her argument so is therefore unimportant.
I'm of the opinion that if you are to repress, attack and demonise a group enough then it very well could become exactly what you are accusing it of. Radicalisation comes through continued repression. This is not to say the Brotherhood and its supporters are not doing themselves any favours at the moment, but the collective demonising of anyone who supports Morsi, is more dangerous than people may like to acknowledge.
Through her words Bachmann is adding to this dangerous cycle, and quite honestly she has no right to do so. Fanning the flames of an internal conflict of another country is not something for a foreign politician to be doing. Think carefully before you rush to label a group a terrorist organisation. Especially when it comes from a woman who believes the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, which Egypt is a member of, intends to attack America's right to freedom of speech, or be it hate speech against Islam.

The Melbourne Mandate
A new conversation on changing organizations – and changing communication
At the World Public Relations Forum 2012 in Melbourne almost 800 delegates from 29 countries endorsed the Melbourne Mandate, a call to action of new areas of value for public relations and communication management in three spheres:
- the character of the organization and its values
- the ability of the organization to listen – and its culture
- the responsibility of practitioners to society, the organization, their profession and themselves.
The process was led by Dan Tisch and Jean Valin.
For more information and to read and download the Melbourne Mandate document, visit the Melbourne Mandate blog.
The Melbourne Mandate Toolkit
The Global Alliance has recently developed a toolkit to help professionals find a practical application of the Melbourne Mandate in their daily work. The toolkit includes:
- The Melbourne Mandate Integrity Index, a tool developed to measure the perceptions of organizations' values in the minds of its internal and external stakeholders
- A series of case studies on ethical and responsible communication
- Examples of multinational companies that have adopted a number of characteristics of the Melbourne Mandate in their organizational life.
The Professional Development Wheel
The Global Alliance has also developed the Professional Development Wheel, a framework based on the Mandate pillars of character, listening and responsibility which serves as a guide to professional development and as a support to the implementation of the Melbourne Mandate.

Family and Friends,
I John 4:19
We love him,
He first loved us.
* * *
Robert Louis Stevenson tells a story of a young man traveling in Spain, and in a
lonely part,
finding lodgment in an old castle. In the room he occupied there hung on the wall
the picture of a beautiful but sensuous woman.
Gradually the woman's face
inflamed his imagination,
it became an obsession which he could not shake off.
Even in sleep the face haunted him, awaking within him evil thoughts and
poisoning his heart and mind. Vainly he struggled against it, but without success;
the image pursued him wherever he went.
In this castle in which he lived he had only met the senor and his wife,
both of noble
origin but poor.
One day, passing up the staircase, he met face to face their
daughter, of whose existence even he was ignorant.
Young and beautiful, their eyes met,
and in that momentary glance,
love, fresh and pure, awoke in his heart.
with its strange glow and amazement, he entered his room and looked up at the
Then he found its spell was gone.
Instead of holding him he felt hatred and
The pure affection had done what no mental struggle could do.
Such is the expulsive power of a pure affection.
Victory over sin is not gained by
self-effort, but by opening the heart to the love of Christ.
His love rushing in sweeps
all foul affections out, and raises the whole being into the
heights of peace and
~James Burns.

The love of God is pure and holy. It is a love sublime and rich. The love relationship between Jesus and His
brethren, transcends every and any human relationship.
To know Him is to love Him. To love Him is to serve Him.
"If a man love me,
he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him."
John 14:23

Thank you for stopping by.

Something to Sing About
CCC Oak Ridge
Lately, whenever I write praise songs, I write them with my brothers who are in jail in mind. I think it's because their issues and struggles are so clear and easy to pin down that the lyrics just flow naturally. All I have to do is just think about Unit 2 at the Anderson County Detention Facility and imagine I'm in there... I think about what I would need to hear, what I would need to sing about and what I would need to hold onto in order to stay encouraged and loving Jesus. I think about what those guys share and what they have to go through and the songs just write themselves! The great thing I've learned from doing this is that these so-called 'jail' songs work just fine in our worship services at Christ Community with folks who have never been within a mile of the lockup! In fact, these songs (which are often lyrically more direct than other praise songs) have been absolute home runs with our church people and I think it all has to do with the fact that incarcerated or not, we all basically have the same spiritual struggles and needs!
We all need to be reminded all the time that Jesus still loves us and wants us, no matter how bad we've been. We all need to sing about the fact that not only is it okay if we can't make it on our own, it's actually better that way! We all need to be told daily that we are weak and completely needy. We all need to be singing about the fact that Jesus didn't just halfway save us from some of our sins, but He set us free completely from all of our wrong, past, present and future! Our newest praise song for the jail is called "I'm Going Home" and it's all about heaven... man, you should have heard those brothers singing that song in Unit 2! They had never heard it before, but they brought it like it was their job! Not only that, but we sang the song at CCC on sunday morning and they brought it too!
Tom and I were at the jail one day and one of the brothers told me that the previous Friday marked his third year in Unit 2. Whew... I couldn't handle that information. I mean, it's a rough place to be for one hour a week. I can't imagine three years there with a wife and a little girl on the outside. I asked myself, "What would I be desperate to know and sing about if I had just served my third year in this place?" ...and then I remembered the words of Jesus in John 14 where He said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." I remembered the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 4 which say, "In the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing."
I would want to sing about heaven! I would be 'loving His appearing' and dreaming about that Great Day! Over and over again in the Scriptures, the hope of the Gospel is the hope of heaven: that we have a home that is not of this world - that we have a place we were truly made for where there will be no more pain, sorrow, sin or death ever again - that Jesus Himself is coming back for us to take us to be with Him forever! Oh man, if that's true, then I can make it through anything! If heaven is real, I can make it through the tough and confusing times, the sad and hopeless times and really whatever kind of times come my way! If this life is short and then at the end, (because I have believed in Jesus) I get to be with Him forever in endless joy and sweet, ceaseless fellowship with everyone who loves Him, well then, I can make it through just about whatever... Now that's something to sing about!
Isaiah 25 says, "O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago... On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken. In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."

Partnering for Impact: The Pro's of the 2011 Nonprofit Management Institute
In today's struggling economy, nonprofits are dealing with dramatically increased demand for their services. At the same time, however, we are seeing a significant drop in available resources. What is a well-meaning mission-focused organization to do?
The key to survival and success for many nonprofits is partnerships. This could be with other organizations, across sectors with corporations and governmental groups, or even internally partnering amongst different departments to reassess and redesign operations to make your nonprofit more efficient and effective. Partnerships, or "Partnering for Impact," is also the theme of this year's Nonprofit Management Institute.
What is it?
The Institute is an annual 2-day conference hosted by the Stanford Social Innovation Review and Association of Fundraising Professionals. It tackles big-picture issues facing leaders of nonprofits in our rapidly changing world.
The entire group of attendees listens to each speaker together, and then breaks out into discussion groups that allow for networking and concrete ideas for application. The topics that will be covered in this year's sessions include:
- Improving communication and persuasion skills
- Capturing and sharing organizational learning
- Developing a framework to integrate financial and social impact
- Building the right funding model
- Creating a volunteerism model for long-term social impact (we especially like this one!)
- Working across sectors in new ways
- Measuring impact across organizations and sectors
Who should go and why?
The Nonprofit Management Institute is ideal for senior level nonprofit executives, including CEOs, executive directors, board members and others with significant leaderships responsibilities. By the end of the two days, you should leave the conference energized and brimming with big and small ideas for your organization – not to mention with a long list of valuable new contacts.
Past attendees have been effusive in praising the value of the conference. You can take a look at the entire agenda and program for the two days, as well.
I'll be at the Nonprofit Management Institute this year to meet some great nonprofit colleagues and learn about new tools and trends in the space. Will I see you there?
Learn more and register for the Nonprofit Management Institute.

Won the GOHBA 2004 - Custom Bathrooms under 75 sq. ft.
Every detail can be unique, even in the smallest of spaces. This bathroom was designed with functionality in mind.
The aim of this renovation was to create a serene, spacious, functional washroom with some pizzazz! The combination of custom, flat panel anigrie cabinetry and honed black granite counter tops creates a sleek, contemporary yet warm atmosphere.
The details in this washroom are what sets it apart from the norm. Instead of specifying a 72x36 thermo massage tub we chose a 66x36 tub allowing for extra space for pull-out storage behind the tub. It also allowed for five foot run of cabinetry along the wall, perpendicular to the tub – more storage.
The vanity was designed to look like a piece of furniture. A combination of anigrie veneer and stained maple legs, a vessel sink and contemporary faucet adds to the elegance. We designed a small pull-out step at the base that a child could pull-out allowing them to reach the sink and faucet on their own.
Hand made door hardware, a self-supporting shelf, a frameless mirror and chrome accessories make this bathroom a unique, child-friendly yet sophisticated space.
Southam Design has been winning awards since 1995. Here is the list from 1995 to 2005
- OCHBA 2001: Custom Kitchen under 200 SF (Honourable Mention)
- OCHBA 2003: Custom Homes under 2,400 SF (1st Place)

State Representative Tracy Maxwell Heard (D-Columbus) has been in contact with staffers of Ohio Governor John R. Kasich and Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's offices, after discovering that emergency responders from Ohio may not be able to vote in this year's general election as a result of their participation in emergency response and clean-up activities related to Hurricane Sandy's devastation of the eastern seaboard.
"After scrambling to figure out if we could do anything for these first responders, I read that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is allowing displaced residents to vote electronically via e-mail or fax. A New Jersey elections official promised to conduct his county's election come hell or high water – well, hell and high water are here, and the brave men and women of Ohio have stepped forward to bail out the East Coast," said Rep. Heard. "We, back home in Ohio, have to ensure that their sacrifice does not cost them their vote."
Many of the first responders have not voted early, anticipating that they would be able to participate in early voting or traditional Election Day voting this year. When Hurricane Sandy hit on October 29, these men and women headed to the impacted areas. The nature of the clean up will most likely keep first responders out of the state until after November 6.
Rep. Heard is hopeful that Gov. Kasich and Secretary Husted will be able to work with her to accommodate the precarious situation that some voting Ohioans face due to this natural disaster.

Curtis blasts Muckdogs to Game 1 win
Two-run homer in ninth inning stuns Jammers in Finals opener
By John Torenli / Special to MLB.com | September 12, 2008 7:52 PM
Curtis slammed a go-ahead two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning Friday night as the Muckdogs stunned the Jamestown Jammers, 4-3, in Game 1 of the New York-Penn League Championship Series at Russell Diethrick Park.
"It feels great because this is a very tough team to play against and it's a very tough place to play," Batavia manager Mark Dejohn said.
"We knew we had our work cut out for us and we were going to have to be perfect to get the job done against these guys."
Batavia, which edged Jamestown by percentage points for the Pinckney Division title, appeared to be cruising toward a victory in the opener after Scott Gorgen shut down the league's top offense for six-plus brilliant innings.
But Ben Lasater capped a three-hit night with a three-run blast off Ramon Delgado (1-0) in the bottom of the eighth to erase a two-run deficit and put the Jammers within three outs of their eighth consecutive win.
Undaunted, the Muckdogs struck right back.
Jose Garcia sparked the comeback with a leadoff single and took second on Colt Sedbrook's sacrifice. Charles Cutler followed with a bid for a single through the shortstop hole, but the ball hit Garcia, leaving Batavia with a runner at first and two out.
Curtis, who hadn't gone deep since July 28 against Williamsport, came through with what may go down as the biggest homer in franchise history as his shot off Jared Yecker (0-1) cleared the left-field wall for a 4-3 lead.
"I was just looking for a pitch to drive and was looking for a fastball," Curtis said. "I was speechless [as I rounded the bases]. I can't say enough about this team. They just have so much heart and I'm just proud to be a part of it."
The Jammers, who hadn't lost since a 2-1 setback to Williamsport on Sept. 2, did not go easily in the bottom of the frame.
Jeremy Synan led off with a single and took second on Joel Staples' sacrifice before Dejohn pulled Delgado. Southpaw George Brown struck out Brandon Turner, and Jason Buursma came on to get Justin Bass on a game-ending comebacker to secure his second postseason save.
Edwin Gomez went 3-for-3 with a homer and two RBIs for Batavia, which can wrap up its first-ever title at home on Saturday night.
"I still feel like it's far away," Curtis admitted. "Jamestown is a great team and we can't look for the finish line. We have to play it one pitch at a time."
"We have to get one of these next two and hopefully we can get it done tomorrow," added Dejohn. "We know it's not over. They're very capable of winning two in our place."
Though he did not receive a decision, Gorgen continued his stellar late-season pitching for the Muckdogs as his longest outing of the year stretched his scoreless streak to 16 innings.
"[Gorgen's] a guy that knows how to pitch," Dejohn said. He competes very well and has only gotten better as the season has gone out. He was the key for us tonight."
The 21-year-old right-hander, who yielded six hits and two walks with four strikeouts, has allowed just one earned run over 28 1/3 frames in his last six outings.
"If it was up to me, I would say all the credit goes to [Gorgen]," Curtis said. "Jamestown rakes. They hit the ball so hard everywhere. For him to shut them down like that, he has to get all the credit."
Johnny Dorn kept the Jammers within striking distance by allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.
Lasater fell a double shy of the cycle and Synan, Paul Gran and Kevin Mattison added two hits apiece for Jamestown.
Though the Muckdogs have yet to capture a title since starting out as a Cleveland affiliate in 1957, the Batavia Pirates won the NY-Penn crown in 1963.

Keanu Reeves is one of modern cinema's great oddities. No one might accuse him of being a master thespian, or even being particularly versatile, and depending upon whom one asks his acting skills range from passable to nonexistent. But once in a while, a character so well tailored to his particular strengths appears on his resume that proves why Reeves in the power player he has become today. Neo was such a role; John Constantine another; Klaatu of 2008's The Day The Earth Stood Still remake might have been yet another had the film around him been up to snuff; and now along comes John Wick, the lead of a slick, no-frills shoot-em-up that's sure to please fans of old school revenge flicks.
Our first introduction to Wick is the subdued, stoic Keanu we're most familiar with, still in mourning over his wife (a there-and-gone Bridget Moynahan) whose relationship with John is illustrated in a few short, wordless flashbacks and an intimate iPhone video used to bookend the film. With the arrival - and subsequent loss - of a special pre-arranged gift, however, Keanu runs the gauntlet of human emotion and sells Wick's turmoil like a pro. Even before a monologue late in the movie spells it out in plain and simple terms, the audience knows full well it isn't so much the loss itself, which is tragic enough (animal lovers beware, this film will not be kind to you), but what the loss represents that drives Wick over the edge, and once that switch is flipped, any attempt at story complexity goes straight out the window to make room for as much carnage as humanly possible. In this, John Wick does anything but disappoint; Wick moves with cold, swift precision, wasting few movements and intending every shot as a kill. The camera is also kind to the audience in this respect, following the action with a minimum of obnoxious close-ups or quick editing. The film is shootout-heavy with a few hand to hand scuffles, but in such case favoring rough-and-tumble brawls over choreographed dances.
Alfie Allen as Iosef, essentially serving as a prop for which to draw Keanu from one action scene to another, is easy enough to hate, though the character isn't vastly different from the one he plays on Game of Thrones; an entitled manchild with an inflated opinion of himself who manages to piss off all the wrong people and cause an awful lot of trouble. Adrianne Palicki appears as Perkins, a rival assassin with whom Wick shares a brief but amusing bullet-riddled "courtship" of sorts, bolstering her own action-movie credentials right on the heels of her debut as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest acquisition. Michael Nyqvist adds some welcome color to the otherwise hollow role as Viggo, Iosef's father and Wick's former employer. He garners probably the most of the film's many unexpected laughs; the humor here is pitch-black, most often delivered in uncomfortable silences and single-word responses, and result from jokes about the dynamic of the "assassin's life" - like how the question of "Where are the police during all this?" is swept out the way in but a few short sentences, establishing that even the cops know who John Wick is and want NO piece of his business.
Alongside a fanciful Ian McShane and an aggravated John Leguizamo, who are mostly accents to the film's star-studdedness, John Wick boasts a surprising conga-line of cameos from asskickers of varying pedigrees - Keanu's Matrix Reloaded costar Daniel Bernhardt, finally swinging fists and feet in a major motion picture again; former WWE star Kevin Nash; Mr. "Mayhem Like Me" himself Dean Winters in the odd role of Viggo's non-Russian-speaking right hand man; even Legend of the Seeker's Bridget Regan pops up as a sympathetic (and foxy) tattooed barmaid.
While the film revels in the simplicity of its plot, it leaves very little to spoil. As much fun as it gets watching the action unfold, major points of the story can be called well in advance, and Wick takes a few too many detours to reach his targets, though this is a minor issue next to the messiness of the film's overlong final stretch, which could have been solved with some fine-tuning to the script. Once the main thrust of the story is concluded, the film rolls on for roughly another fifteen minutes to tie up certain loose ends, namely that of Willem Dafoe's character. Dafoe's Marcus is meant to have ambiguous intentions where Wick's mission is concerned, but again, one can predict the role he plays fairly easily. The need to close the book on his part leads to several further action beats, which, while well-executed, close with a superfluous one-on-one duel with an antagonist who pretty much has a target for Keanu's fists spray-painted on his face.
John Wick may not be deep, but it's anything but brainless. It's flashy without being ostentatious, and it strikes a booming emotional chord early on to get the audience in on the insanity and root for its hero without a shred of guilt. It's not a game changer or anything meant to turn the genre on its head, but it succeeds big time at being a damn good tale of bad guys vs. not-quite-so-bad guys doing incredibly violent things to one another. And the moral is one anybody can get behind: Never mess with an assassin's housepet.

A unique environmental research and development programme involving leading universities and almost 300 businesses has won a prestigious national award.
Business partnerships and enterprise staff within Lancaster University's Faculty of Science and Technology and Research and Enterprise Services working on the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation have won the 'Outstanding Knowledge Exchange and Commercialisation Initiative' category in The Impact Awards 2015. The award reflects the success of a unique partnership between Lancaster University, the University of Liverpool and Inventya Ltd in working with businesses on innovative environmental research and development projects.
Dion Williams and Andy Pickard from Lancaster University and Lee Omar, Director of Red Ninja Studios, received the award on behalf of the Centre at the RCUK and PraxisUnico Awards Ceremony at Central Hall, Westminster on September 15th. The event recognises the outstanding contribution knowledge exchange and commercialisation professionals provide in turning excellent research into great benefits to business, the economy and society.
Lancaster University leads the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation, which unites the expertise, resources and global contacts of Lancaster University, University of Liverpool and Inventya Ltd to develop environmentally-focused products, processes and services in collaboration with ambitious North West businesses.
Professor Nigel Paul, Director of the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation said: "The award is recognition of the way the Centre's team is pioneering a "joined-up" approach to collaboration between universities and innovative businesses. The Centre provides companies with a single access point to a variety of options, from short-term undergraduate projects to three-year in-depth doctoral research. In doing so it meets the needs of businesses and universities, plus leads to positive benefits on both the economy and the environment."
Dion Williams, Director of Enterprise & Innovation at Lancaster University, said: "We are incredibly proud to win this award. Through this project we have applied the combined research power of Liverpool and Lancaster, two of the country's leading universities and the commercial expertise of our delivery partner Inventya Ltd, to work in collaboration with regional SMEs to create significant positive economic and environmental impact.
"The award recognises the collective effort of over 80 academics, 50 graduate researchers and over 290 SMEs, supported by dedicated teams of expert knowledge exchange staff at both universities, to create new opportunities for the North West to become a global leader in the development of eco innovative technologies and services. It is fantastic for KEC teams up and down the country to be recognised for the value we add to the sector through the Impact Awards and we are really pleased to be a part of this."
Dr Matt Fulton, University of Liverpool Centre Manager, said: "The success of the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation demonstrates that SMEs are capable of absorbing long-term collaborative intensive research projects with HEIs, and commercialising the results.
"The demand for eco-innovations is set to expand exponentially globally and the North West should do all it can to position itself to be at the forefront of technological advances. Industry and HEIs working in partnership enables us to pool our resources and knowledge assets for the benefit of all. We are planning to expand our activities over the coming years, and have already submitted a proposal for a future project working alongside LJMU and Lancaster."
The Rt Hon Jo Johnson, Minister of State for Universities and Science, said: "I would like to congratulate the winners of the RCUK/PraxisUnico Impact Awards. They, and all of the finalists, should all be immensely proud of their achievements. It is great to see so many innovative approaches to knowledge exchange and commercialisation, enabling UK research to deliver impact to businesses and society. This work is vital in ensuring that the UK remains competitive, innovative, and able to sustain development and economic growth."
The Centre for Global Eco-Innovation is the only centre of its kind in Europe and is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund. SME-led collaborative research and development partnerships underpin the development of new products, processes and services for the global marketplace, which by virtue of their use, manufacture, raw materials, reuse or disposal, deliver positive environmental impacts. Projects utilise the expertise of graduate researchers from Lancaster and Liverpool universities as part of their PhD studies.

'How to Tell You're a Douchebag': Sundance Review
If you're asking the question, you probably are.
A womanizing blogger gets put in his place in How to Tell You're a Douchebag, Tahir Jetter's feature debut. Not funny enough to call a rom-com, though it borrows many of that genre's tropes, the movie plays like a technically proficient, very expensive substitute for going into therapy after a painful breakup. Heartfelt but lacking some key ingredients, the pic has limited commercial potential; in any event, it's certainly much too conventional for Sundance's NEXT section, meant to showcase titles with an "innovative, forward-thinking approach to storytelling."
Charles Brice plays Ray Livingston, a freelance writer trying to attract attention with a blog, Occasionally Dating Black Women, whose self-pitying tone doesn't jibe with the cavalier way he treats the women he takes to bed. He's a douchebag, all right, no matter how much he claims to be looking for love and blames his emotional unavailability on New York City.
Trying to prove his point, he accosts a stranger (DeWanda Wise's Rochelle) to ask why black women treat black men so badly. She reads him the riot act, shames him on Twitter and, as happens in movies 10 million times more than in real life, a potential romance buds. But after an epic and satisfying first date, Rochelle accidentally meets one of Ray's friends-with-benefits and, learning he's as big a cad as she initially thought, dumps him.
The problem at this juncture is this: We have no reason to care about Ray's wounded pride. Nothing in the script has given us a reason to think there's more to him than we see, and Brice doesn't project enough personality here to make up for the screenplay's failings. We'd much rather spend time with Jake (William Jackson Harper), the wry best-friend character who routinely takes the air out of his puffed-up pal ("You ever think you might hate women, Ray?") and who gets most of the film's intermittent laughs.
Wounded by Rochelle's rejection, Ray flails about for solutions, but the pursuit isn't as persuasively soul-searching as a just-right score by Emile Mosseri and Alex Schiff suggests. We watch him write blog posts that vent his frustrations, then come back and write blog posts to apologize for thoughtless venting. Somewhere in there, he probably wrote a movie, too.

Handle the crap at the start of the day…if you don't then your whole day will be crappy!
Waa waaa waaa…yea yea I know what you'll say – "But I hate doing that…I'll do it later" Well the truth is that when you have something that you really don't want to do – it's best if you do what Nike preaches and JUST DO IT!
In every-day life there are those things that, for whatever reason, we absolutely hate to do and we will do anything not to have to do them. There are no magic bullets for making crappy things less crappy but I can tell you that if you scope out the crappy things (those things you hate doing) and you know what you are up against you can make a plan to tackle them early on. It doesn't have to be an elaborate plan but you should at least target those things during the day that you hate and resolve yourself to do them first! Do not put them off!
"But if I do them at the start of the day then my day will be crappy"
Well this doesn't have to be the case. It's all in how you look at it. Think of it this way…if you do the crappy things first then they are done. Kaput. Over. Finished! The rest of your day can be spent doing things that you don't hate. Perhaps the rest of the day can be spent doing things that you actually enjoy! Imagine that! See…the problem with most of us, including me, is that we tend to put those things that we hate off until the end of the day or for another time and then the time from "now until then" is not as good. We don't enjoy it. In fact, it makes our day worse knowing that we are going to have to do something we hate later. We worry or fret or constantly think about that one thing that we hate that we know we are going to have to do.
If, instead, we "get er done" at the start of our day we are free to live a day without worry or fret and without being constantly reminded that we have to trudge through something we hate at the end. The freedom that comes from dealing with the hard stuff…the hated stuff at the start instead of the end is amazing. Try it sometime and see what happens. You'll be surprised that you will want to tackle the crap at the start of the day rather than at the end. It's habit forming…trust me!
