The upcoming qualifying transaction by Oriana Resources Corp., a capital pool company that raised $300,000 in its initial public offering last October, represents one of the more unusual reverse takeovers in recent times.
It's different from the norm – which for reverse takeovers is rather broad – because the target, Graphene Lighting PLC, is a U.K. based technology transfer company associated with the University of Manchester.
And it's unusual because the planned board of directors – it's planned because the two parties only signed a letter of intent this week – contains Nobel Prize winner, Andre Geim. The Soviet-born Dutch-British physicist – who is also a knight— won the Nobel prize for Physics in 2010.
And the transaction is unusual because Oriana Resources has two targets: the announced deal with Graphene Lighting; and an option to purchase Lumeneering Innovations. That option to acquire the LED lighting company runs until year-end. Lumeneering works with public utilities to upgrade existing lighting systems with new high-efficiency LED lighting solutions.
And it's unusual because until this week Oriana Resources was all set to do its qualifying transaction with MLM1 Corp., the company that did business as The Madcap Learning Adventure. Mid-week it announced that deal was off.
The penultimate unusual feature about the reverse takeover transaction is that the material, graphene, is new: it's only been around since 2004 when Professor Geim, and his Ph.D. student Konstantin Novoselo (who also won the Nobel prize for Physics in 2010) discovered it.
Graphene has been defined as "a thin layer of pure carbon; it is a single, tightly packed layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice." It is also been described as the "thinnest compound known to man," and is 150 times "stronger than an equivalent weight of steel."
And research into the material is well underway. This year the university of Manchester set up The National Graphene Institute, with £61 million in funding.
How it came to Canada is the final unusual feature about the upcoming takeover. It started in mid 2014 when John McMahon, an investment banker with Industrial Alliance Securities became aware of graphene as a result of sponsoring Graphene 3D Lab for listing on the TSX-Venture Exchange. "That sponsorship got me interested in graphene," said McMahon, who then contacted the University of Manchester.
In mid-October he visited Manchester, met the key people and developed an understanding of the situation. On a subsequent visit he focused his attention on BGT Materials Ltd., a joint venture "dedicated to the development of graphene technologies."
McMahon was interested in BGT's lighting products, which, he says, were the "most advanced. They had commercialized some technology for LED lighting using graphene."
McMahon's proposal – to spin the lighting products including the patents – into a separate entity, to find a manufacturer and to raise capital was accepted. So far $3.25 million was raised with another $5 million to be raised over the next two months. "It was a big win for us," he said because U.K. investment bankers were also in pursuit.
Bill Neill, Graphene Lighting's chief executive, said lots of praise should be given to Prof. Colin Bailey, the university's deputy vice-chancellor and the company's chairman. "The university's management team was forward thinking and deserve lots of credit," he said.

If you're a fan of firm massage, deep tissue massage is for you. This remedial treatment is especially effective at targeting specific issues such as back and neck pain, muscular strains and injuries.
Using classical massage strokes with her hands, elbows and forearms, Jane will work deeply into connective tissues and muscles. You may be asked to breathe in when she encounters a particularly tense area as it can be slightly painful, but you will feel the benefits and subsequently be more relaxed and pain-free.

July 10, 2002 – Altamont, New York
***Originally published as "J.Lynn's Tour Diary" on Mad at Gravity's Official Site.***
-Altamont was an interesting town. Our set was at high noon, and I
ended up with a nasty sunburn from the lack of shade. There were about
four or five meatheads who were forcing a rather malicious pit in the
middle of the crowd. Pits don't bother me normally, but this one wasn't
right. It was violent and disrespectful, and those who were there to
see our set were getting annoyed. So I called the out on it, and we
got into it a bit. At one point, there was just ONE guy standing
shirtless in the middle of the crowd, flailing his fists and bucking
around by himself as if he had a severe case of epilepsy. There's
nothing like having a small penis to get you all riled up and pissed at
the world.
-Then I remembered that years ago even the Rolling Stones had problems
at a
show in Altamont. Maybe there's something in the water there…
-The set went well in spite of the idiots, and we had some cool
conversations with the true fans afterward. Many of them thanked me for
putting heat on the few who were trying to ruin it for the many. It
turns out we won over a lot of new faces, and a lot of them said they
were excited to go and check out our set in Poughkeepsie tomorrow.
Hopefully they'll all show up, and we can give them the show they deserve.
Love and testosterone overload,

The annual fleet survey will see researchers from Seafish, the public body that supports the £10bn UK seafood industry, visit over 400 ports across the length and breadth of the UK to collect data on the financial and operational performance of vessels.
The results of the survey – which will begin on Monday 15 July and run until September – play a vital role in painting a picture of the UK fishing fleet, its economic performance and the challenges it faces as it prepares for life outside of the EU.
Commenting on the survey, Barrie Deas, Chief Executive of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO), said: "I would encourage every skipper and vessel owner to assist Seafish by taking part in the UK fleet survey. By sparing the small amount of time required to take part, you will be helping to create the most accurate picture possible of the UK fishing fleet, across boats of all sizes and the entire country."
The full report from the 2018 UK fleet survey is expected to be published in the next few weeks, but provisional figures released earlier in the year suggested a solid year for the fleet. Annual fishing revenues stood at £978 million, a slight increase on the previous year, as a 4.8% decrease in the volume of fish landed was mitigated by a 5.3% increase on the average price per tonne landed. The rising price of fuel was considered to be a particular challenge, with total spend on fuel estimated to be 20% higher than in 2017.
Steve Lawrence, Economics Project Manager at Seafish, said: "Considering the potential changes, challenges and opportunities on the horizon, it has never been more important for us to produce an accurate picture of the UK's fishing fleet and the pressures it faces.
"The UK fleet survey is the major piece of research into the health of the sector touching on both the economics of those that make a living from it and its social impact on communities built around it. The results are always poured over by industry, as well as those looking to understand how management measures and policies play out practically.
"We spoke to around 400 skippers and vessel owners last year and we hope to build on those numbers as well as ensuring representation from all sectors of the fleet across every type of vessel and throughout the whole of the UK."
The survey interviews should take no longer than 15 minutes for skippers and vessel owners to complete and all responses are treated as confidential, with no figures from any individual vessel revealed in any outputs.
Vessel owners who take part can request a free financial performance benchmark report, which provides an indication of how well their vessel is performing compared to similar vessels and can help to inform business and financial decisions. Reports from previous years are available on the Seafish website as is Quay Issues, the magazine which takes a deeper dive into the stories behind the numbers and explores examples of innovative ways to make the industry more profitable, efficient, safe and sustainable.
For further information on the survey or to find out when researchers will be in your area visit the Seafish website or contact Steve Lawrence on 0131 524 8663 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

The European Parliament
Elections gang
Not every idea is a good idea. Go vote to defend yours.
On May 23 – 26 we are going to decide who will be part of the next European Parliament. But candidates are not just people, faces, voices, backgrounds. They are the walking ideas that, in case of victory, will get the chance to shape our future.
Today more than ever we are called to respond to this call: our Europe needs us. We have to defend it, in order to improve it and fill it with great ideas.
This short video is Antimatter's and Emanuele Colombo's gift to EU. We tried to imagine how candidate could look like if they looked like their values and politics.

I have been having a very hard time incorporating what is happening with the Trump campaign into reality. It doesn't make any sense to me. They say that history repeats itself, but I'd be remiss if I didn't say, I thought perhaps it would repeat itself after I was dead.
I know I am not the first to make this comparison, nor do I think I'll be the last. I am one of many in this regard. But it's scary and frustrating to me that there seems to be nothing that can stop this destructive train. The GOP itself is looking for ways to derail Trump.
Photo credit: http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/12/politics/gallery/week-in-politics-0312/index.html
This. This is real. This is what Donald Trump brings out of people. He is a loud, emphatic, speaker who is able to rally people to his cause. He, like his famous predecessor before him, has stated what he will do. He has even described how he wants to do it. And hundreds of thousands of people are flocking to his side. And I'm terrified.
I know I'm not doing anything other than stating facts that enlightened people know. But I don't know what else to do. I don't know how to stop him. I don't know how to rally those that aren't already rallied against him. Hell even the hacker group "Anonymous" has declared war on Trump…and still he climbs and still he rises.
I'm disgusted at the partisan nature of our new media. What we need is people to band together and say "This man is a racists. This man does not and will not speak for me." But what are we doing instead? We have 1/2 the media saying he's a buffoon – WHY are people so reluctant to call him what he is? A terrifying racist.) and the other 1/2 of the media are CANCELING debates because he's refusing to show. "Fuck the other candidates!" says Fox New. They do nothing for our ratings. Let's deny the American people the right to see their other options and only inundate people with images of Hitler, I mean Trump. Because he is who is he, and because his responses and television persona are what they are, media is only interested in what he can bring them financially. Disgusting.
I'm terrified as a woman about his seemingly inevitable nomination. I'm terrified as an ally for the LGBT community. I'm terrified as someone with loved ones of color. I'm just terrified.
I'm repeating myself. I do that when I get nervous about something. Or when I don't have the answers. I just keep repeating what I know as if that will solve the problem.
I think part of me is very scared of the fact that I feel helpless. Like the WWII quote at the beginning of this post, I feel like if I say nothing, there will be no one left to say anything. I feel like it's my responsibility as an adult, an ally, a friend, a loved one, to stand up and say something. But I don't know what else to do or how else to voice my discomfort. The one concrete thing I can do, which I will do, is vote.
When I sat down to write this, I thought I had more to say. Or at least more that meant something, instead of just rambling. I guess not.
I wonder what his ex wives (2 of the 3 immigrants: Ivana – Czech, Melania – Slovenia) and his children (obviously children of immigrants), feel about his stances on anyone who isn't a white american male.
4/1/16 – An update…
Here is a beautiful article written by the scientist, actress, mother and advocate Mayim Bialik with her take on Trump, his campaign, and his most recent statement that women and doctors who chose to have, and who perform abortions should be punished. I think it is one of the most well written articles I've come across on the subject. I particularly enjoy her second point…
"Point 2: You don't have to like that people can get abortions. You don't have to tell your daughters that abortion is a great option if they get drunk and have unprotected sex and get pregnant. We don't have to like everything that other people do. But we cannot eliminate the right for women to decide what to do with their bodies." (Emphasis added).
EDIT: July 5th, 2016
(photo credit: http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/04/politics/donald-trump-star-of-david-tweet-explained/index.html)
Cool. So this is a thing that happened. Isn't that awesome? Do we need to continue to discuss how terrifying this man is? And not even this man. He in-and-of-himself is NOT what scares me the most. What scares me the most, are the people he "inspires". He won't have to lift a hand. But then again…neither did Hitler.
His explanation (courtesy of the same article linked below the picture): "These false attacks by Hillary Clinton trying to link the Star of David with a basic star, often used by sheriffs who deal with criminals and criminal behavior, showing an inscription that says 'Crooked Hillary is the most corrupt candidate ever' with anti-Semitism is ridiculous," Trump said in the statement.

Oklahoma-based Magellan Midstream Partners is scraping plans for its proposed Permian Gulf Coast Pipeline — amid ongoing discussions to combine the project with another crude oil pipeline.
The 600-mile Permian Basin to Gulf Coast pipeline project is unlikely to proceed as originally announced, Magellan Vice President Suzanne Costin reported in a Monday afternoon filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Magellan announced the pipeline project in September as a joint venture with Energy Transfer LP, Delek US and MPLX LP. The proposed 30-inch pipeline would have moved 1 million barrels of crude oil per day from the West Texas shale play to Magellan's terminal in Houston and Energy Transfer's terminal in Nederland.
"There were conditions that needed to be met in order to proceed with the project that weren't satisfied," Magellan Vice President Bruce Heine said in a statement.
Midstream Moves: Magellan extends open season on Cushing-to-Houston pipeline
In her SEC filing, Costin reported that Magellan is decreasing its 2019 capital expenditure budget accordingly. The company now estimates that it will spend $1.1 billion on active expansion projects in 2019 and another $150 million in 2020.
"The partnership continues to actively develop a crude oil pipeline project in the Permian Basin, but the probability of success is unknown at this time," Costin said in her filing.
However, the company remains in discussions to combine the project with another proposed Permian Basin to Gulf Coast crude oil pipeline, recent filings and earnings calls show.

During a Jan. 31 investors call, Magellan CEO Mike Mears said the company was in the process of acquiring right of way for the Permian Gulf Coast Pipeline but was also interesting in combining the project with another crude oil pipeline proposed by Exxon Mobil, Plains All American Pipeline and Lotus Midstream.
The three companies formed a joint venture named Wink to Webster Pipeline LLC in January to move 1 million barrels of crude oil per day from along a 650-mile pipeline to the Houston area.
During a Feb. 21 investors call, Energy Transfer Chief Financial Officer Tom Long reported that his company was also in talks to join the Wink to Webster Pipeline project.
"We will continue to go down parallel paths in order to evaluate and achieve the most efficient and accretive project for our partnership," Long said.
A March 4 presentation by Magellan Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Aaron Milford at the Raymond James investors conference in Orlando shows that those discussions remain alive.
"There's other pipes that basically had similar capabilities and followed a similar route," Milford said at the conference. "If we can find a way to put them together, we think that that's really a very efficient solution for everybody. But those conversations are occurring, as we speak. So, I really don't want to say much further."

TTC Spadina Station Entrance That's An Old House!: Exploring Toronto Part V
This is the fifth post in my continuing Exploring Toronto series (here are the links for Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV). I was having a discussion about cool things from the 'olden days' with my friends Katie (@kathrynboland) and Jason (@videojey) that are still around in Toronto only disguised as run of the mill every day things and I mentioned the TTC subway entrance/exit to Spadina Station at Kendal Avenue which used to be an old house. Since Jason and Katie were not the first people I have mentioned this to who had no idea of its existence I thought it would be a good addition to the Exploring Toronto series.
That house, as I learned from the plaque they have up on the building is the "Norman B. Gash House." Norman Gash was a lawyer who had the house built in 1899 and the house remained a home for one family until the 1950s. It was then acquired by the city for the Spadina Expressway which ended up not getting built but it was decided in the 1970s to turn it into an exit/entrance to the new TTC Spadina Station. When you are walking inside of it, even the ground floor, you have absolutely zero idea of what it once was as there is no visible/immediate evidence to show you its origins (as you can see in the picture below). Sort of makes me wonder what the inside once looked like, or even where the different rooms were. I also wonder what is going on upstairs these days – if anything.
The entrance to the station is an unmanned one which meant when I tried to enter the subway after taking all these pictures I was out of luck because I only had currency on me no tokens or Metropass. It does, however, have booths for toll collectors should they ever decide to begin manning it. They completely changed the back of the house, I suppose to make room for those skylights and prevent anyone from trying to go into the backyard. I took a picture of the back of the station from the outside from the little parking lot behind #83 Spadina Rd just to the south of it.
Even just looking at the house, you can see how amazingly well it blends in with its surroundings and many of you have probably passed it on a regular basis without even noticing its true/current raison d'etre. Obviously, once you look at it through the eyes of someone actually analyzing it, it immediately becomes VERY clear what it is but either way I love this method of re-tasking regular buildings for other purposes. That was one heck of a good job by the TTC and the City of Toronto in my mind. Think how weird and ugly it would look to have your standard TTC subway station structure in the middle of this otherwise residential looking street. Granted, a lot of the houses on the street aren't used as houses anymore but the look and feel of the neighborhood is still preserved which I think is absolutely awesome.
One of the things Jason told me about my city which I didn't know about in our discussion mentioned above was The BlogTO's article on "Toronto Hydro's Not-So-Hidden Residential Substations" from October 2010. I totally have to check those out at some point just to see what they look like 'in real life.' I also wonder if there are any other TTC subway stations that have re-tasked a building like the Norman B. Gash House. Do you know of any?
In case you were wondering, the 'address' for this entrance to Spadina Subway Station aka the Norman B. Gash House is 85 Spadina Road but you're better off Google Mapping it to Spadina Rd & Kendal Ave because the 85 Spadina Road search brings you a few houses south of the actual location in Google Maps.

I've been wondering about the upstairs for years. Who wouldn't love go to exploring? I suspect that if I dug around online I'd find that some urban exploration hobbyists have ventured there with cameras.
November 27, 2011 at 10:08 pm
I've been on some urban explorations and know people who'd know.

Mmm-mm yummy. This was a present from me to me for my last day of work. An 8.5% imperial stout brewed with coffee, vanilla, and strawberry.
Pours super dark and thick. Looks like melted dark chocolate coming out. Minimal head. The nose is pretty exclusively chocolate and vanilla. There's a hint of strawberry but really that's the only descriptor you get on the nose and taste for all those flavors. It tastes like it looks and smells. I was expecting stronger strawberry notes, but they have a hard time overcoming the vanilla and chocolate. It's a delicious imperial stout, but not the best one I've had. And not quite the flavor explosion I was looking for.
3 out of 4 stars. Would gift to a friend.

Hans Haacke, one of the most influential artists who works in the public realm, was invited in 1999 to install a sculpture in the German Parliament building.
The work consists of the words "Der Bevölkerung," surrounded by soil and plants brought to the installation by the parliament members from their respective constituency in Germany.
The image can be seen here: http://www.spatiul-public.ro/eng/Hans%20Haacke/-Der.html
I think it is a great work, both aesthetically and due to the fact that it draws from German history and its physical surroundings in a way that stirred a lot of controversy:

Doom is only a month away now and Bethesda is revealing more about its multiplayer customization options. As you rank up you unlock new loadout slots, weapon mods, camo colors for guns and armor, and of course perks. This new video shows off the depth of customization and it's surprisingly robust.
That said, after spending time with the beta I'm not sure if all of this works. Adding Call of Duty-style leveling and perks--as if every multiplayer shooter automatically needs those things now--can clash with the purity of the experience. Doom is fast and frenetic like Quake III, but it doesn't work as a pure arena shooter because players don't all start on even footing. More experienced players spawn with perks and better guns. And don't even get me started on the Demon runes; they're awesome sure, but "balance" doesn't seem to factor into them.
It remains to be seen how Doom's multiplayer ultimately shakes out, and how SnapMap affects the dynamic. But for now the balance seems a little lopsided, at least to an old Quake fogey like me.

This means I've almost completed another year of Living Arrows and I already know I'll be taking part in 2019. I love the chance to share a snapshot of Daisy each week and look back over all the photographs and posts to see how much she is changing. This weeks living arrows 50/53 post is now live!
Here Daisy was in a really cheeky mood. We were playing with a snowman teddy, that is holding a saxophone. He plays music but doesn't have batteries in yet. Daisy was making her own tune and singing the words to 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' which made me laugh. She's got such a lovely personality and when she's in a silly mood she always makes me laugh. At times like this, I can see so much of myself in her, as I love to sing and make up tunes! Being silly is part of the fun of a 2.5-year-old so I'm trying to embrace all of these silly, fun moments.
I'm really enjoying the run up to Christmas this year. We've not gone mad with the decorations, as we're trying to keep home tidy and clutter free ready for our big move in the New Year. Daisy and I have been opening her advent calendar together, spending time looking at the Christmas tree and enjoying Christmas carols. Also, I've got out all of her Christmas books now too so that's fun!
If you enjoyed this Living Arrows 50/53 post you may enjoy looking back at our first full year of Living Arrows. Also, you can look back on this same week last year, Living Arrows 50/52, – if you fancy a look at how much Daisy has changed!

Bark Mitzvah/ Meow Mitzvah
This pet-themed party is a play on the traditional coming-of-age ceremony celebrated in the Jewish faith. A Bar or Bat Mitzvah traditionally marks a young man or woman's 13th birthday. If you want to recognize the coming of age of your four-legged kid, you can hold a Bark/Meow Mitzvah to acknowledge his or her 13th month birthday or whenever you think your puppy or kitten has grown into a sophisticated and mature dog or cat.
You don't necessarily have to be Jewish to throw a Bark/Meow Mitzvah. Some pet owners celebrate this event to recognize a spiritual connection to their dog or cat. Or, you could host a Bark or Meow Mitzvah simply to throw a party that will be fun for pets and people alike. Some pet stores even offer Bark/Meow Mitzvah packages that include pet-sized yarmulkes and Star of David puppy and kitty treats, all kosher, of course, to celebrate this rite of "paw-sage." Everyone will be sure to say "Muzzle tov!"

"The investment we've made in Sprinter represents a solid business plan for our future here in Gwinnett County." states Bruce Lamb, General Manager Atlanta Classic Cars.
Duluth, GA (PRWEB) March 19, 2014
Atlanta Classic Cars, a Mercedes-Benz Dealership in Duluth Georgia, has announced a new addition to its line-up of vehicles. The new brand is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, a commercial vehicle that has sold over 1 million worldwide.
The success story of the Sprinter commercial vehicle has been attributed to its highly practical design and outstanding quality, which translate to best-in-class cargo capacity and low operating costs. With its efficient BlueTEC diesel engine, the Sprinter gets higher fuel mileage than its competitors, while its high roof and large door openings give the van class-leading cargo carrying ability. Today, the Sprinter model brand includes the Cargo Van, Crew Van, Passenger Van, MiniBus and Chassis Cab.
As Gwinnett's only authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership proudly serving the Atlanta consumer for nearly 40 years, Atlanta Classic Cars is perfectly suited to adding the Sprinter brand to its existing stellar line-up of Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Atlanta Classic Cars is also the Proud recipient of Atlanta's Consumers' Choice Award for Business Excellence for the last 7 years and was recently awarded Dealer Rater's 2014 Dealer Of The Year Award for the State of Georgia.
Atlanta Classic Cars is a full service dealership that includes a state-of-the-art service center and certified collision center. In order to become an Authorized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Dealer, Atlanta Classic Cars made several enhancements to their facility. To accommodate Sprinter vehicles, the lot was rearranged to showcase inventory. New lift systems were installed including one capable of lifting up to 72,000 pounds (equivalent to a fire truck). In addition, a transformer-like Hawkeye alignment system was incorporated and 18 foot tall garage doors were installed. A new customer waiting lounge area was also designed.
Most importantly, in order for Atlanta Classic Cars to fully provide Sprinter Sales and Service for Atlanta area business owners, the dealership has hired Sprinter certified and trained staff and technicians. Bruce Lamb, General Manager, states that "the investment we've made in Sprinter represents a solid business plan for our future here in Gwinnett County."
Bruce Lamb and Dealership Partner Johanna Ellis, along with the staff at Atlanta Classic Cars invite media to join them and their distinguished guests in celebration of their becoming the newest Mercedes-Benz Authorized Sprinter Dealer in the Atlanta area.
Distinguished guests include; Klaus Tritt (VP of Sprinter USA), Vince DeSilva (Sr. VP Membership/Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce), and Jeff Hubbard (Mercedes-Benz Southern Regional Manager).

Baltic Holidays are pleased to add Moldova to their list of destinations. This former member of the Soviet Union offers a holiday with a difference, and was known as the vineyard of the USSR.

Game Changers
Like many of you, I enjoy watching college basketball – especially near the end of season when tournament games and March Madness roll around. While all the teams I've cheered for have met the end of their seasons and headed home, I still enjoy watching some of the remaining games and guessing who will finally emerge as the current champion. This year I've been amazed at the number of close – very close – games. Often the winners were not decided until the final few seconds. In many of the games, another minute or two could have possibly rendered an entirely different outcome as the score see-sawed back and forth between two very good teams.
As I watched some of these games, I thought about what made the difference in winning and losing. Surely, it helps to have talented, gifted players who excel in different aspects of the game. Likewise, it helps to have good programs that support the coaches and players. Yet while many factors can contribute to a team's success or failure, I have determined that one of the real game changers in any contest is the head coach. I watched some teams that persevered and overcame double-digit deficits to emerge victorious. I watched still others who pulled off miraculous wins in the final second or two of a game. When I would have written off several games as already determined, a quick time-out on the side of the court produced a team with renewed zeal, perhaps a different strategy, fired up, re-energized, and ready to overcome the seemingly inevitable loss. These are the kinds of differences a good head coach can make.
Do you realize that you and I can have a game changer in our lives, too? Sometimes, I have those days when I feel a lot like that team going to the locker room at half time with seemingly no chance to win. Everything seems to be stacked against me and I have no clear solutions to my problems. What do I do? Where do I turn? But then I am reminded that as a believer, I know the real game changer.
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust."
3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler."
(Psalm 91:1-4)
The above psalm helps me remember that I am not alone. I have the Most High on my side. Alone, I am no match for the troubles, problems, and difficulties that may come my way. But in His Presence I have help and hope.
- He is my refuge who I can turn to.
- He is my fortress who will shelter and protect me.
- He is my deliverer who will bring me safely through the plans and snares that Satan uses to trip and trap me (just like a trap set by a fowler to catch a bird).
- He is my coverer. As I abide in my Heavenly Father, He provides a place of safety, rest, and comfort.
- And He is my shield, ever faithful to His Word and His promises.
What a difference it can make when we seek God and trust every area of our lives to Him. A dedicated basketball player looks to his coach for direction and guidance. He trusts in the coach's knowledge of the game, his understanding of the players' skills, and his awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing team. How much more should we trust every detail of our lives to our Heavenly Father? He knows us intimately and completely. He understands every detail of our lives, our deepest needs and concerns. He is fully aware of any storms or difficulties we are enduring, as well as the sins we can't seem to overcome. He knows every struggle and adversary that we face. But even more, He knows who He created us to be. He knows who we can become when we surrender all we are to Him.
Every once in a while you will see that exceptional basketball player who seems to always know just what the coach wants the team to do. It's as if he instinctively knows which plays to run, when to change the pace of the game, or how to inspire and encourage his team mates on the floor. He, too, becomes a game changer as he puts into practice what he has learned from staying close to the coach and learning from him. But what about us? Do we stay close to God and sincerely seek to learn from Him? Do we really believe God and what He says? Do we really feel that we can trust Him with every single detail of our lives? Just think of the real life game changers we could all be if we truly believed and trusted God. I want to be that kind of game changer. How about you?

Easy-To-Install and Affordable Grundfos SCALA2 Domestic
Booster Pump Offers Constant Water Pressure Regardless of
Tap Quantity Or Time Of Day.
days of receiving a cold-water jolt from someone flushing a
nearby toilet may soon be ending.
The intelligent and low-noise Grundfos SCALA2 domestic booster
pump offers homeowners the holy grail of constant water
pressure, regardless of municipal inlet pressure and multiple
open taps.
The SCALA2 from Grundfos has a super-silent
motor that is water-instead-of-fan-cooled, which results in
low-noise operation.
integrated, the new self-priming SCALA2 is designed to boost
water pressure from city mains, shallow wells and storage
tanks serving residential buildings with up to three floors
and eight taps. An intelligent pump control sensor compares
measured and desired water pressures, adjusting pump speed
accordingly and ensuring a perfect water pressure through
the system. The plug-and-pump solution has a user-friendly
control panel to enable manual pressure adjustments.
water boosting pumps can often be large and noisy, the
compact, all-in-one SCALA2 weighs only 22 Ibs. and has a
super-silent motor that is water-instead-of-fan-cooled,
which results in a sound level of 47 dB(A), which is roughly
as loud as a modern dishwasher.
"With the new SCALA2 water booster pump, homeowners will
have perfect, steady water pressure–even if the shower is
on, the kitchen faucet is running and the car is being
washed outside. It will only take a plumber a few minutes to
install, but it'll boost the comfort in the home for years
and years," according to Kirk Vigil, Director of National
Accounts for DBS.
The SCALA2 will be available in May 2016.

Following its Cruise 2017 presentation in Rio de Janeiro earlier this May, Alicia Vikander returns to star in the Louis Vuitton campaign for the season, set in the same locale (at Brazil's Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum, where the collection was first presented), as well on the beach, captured by photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
With Nicolas Ghesquière's sporty, clean lines set against the Oscar Niemeyer-designed structure, the images perfectly embody the malletier's spirit of modernity and travel.
The Academy Award-winning actress features alongside the Twist and Capucines handbags. The latter is inspired by the name of the street where the label opened its first store in 1854 with two ways to wear; with the flap on the outside, or inside revealing the hidden LV logo. The former is a modern classic designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere.

Kate was just getting over a fit of laughter, wiping tears off her cheeks with her wrists and looking at her glass as Alec poured more wine. They were facing each other, sitting around the minuscule kitchen table, in the spiny bar stools.
'I think it's safe to assume rum and dark beer would be too much for you about now", he added slyly, scratching the back of his head.
'Na-ah! I can hold my liquor just fine, thank you.' Playful smugness tattooed all over her face.
'Is that so?'
'It is.'
'Oh, is it?'
Kate crossed her arms and legs and fought the urge to smile. She then said between her teeth:
'You underestimate my power, young padawan.'

- A 5D porn cinema has opened its doors in De Wallen, Amsterdam.
- The cinema aims to give viewers an immersive experience, using water and air jets as well as bouncing chairs.
- Each movie screening can accommodate 18 viewers, with 6 screenings every hour.
When you hear "Amsterdam", what comes to your mind? A lot of tourists go there to visit places like the Anne Frank House or maybe the Van Gogh Museum. Aside from that, Amsterdam is also known for its red light district.
In De Wallen, Amsterdam's largest and best known red light district, a new and somewhat bizarre attraction has popped up- a 5D porn cinema. The immersive experience aims to stimulate all five senses, complete with wind and water jets as well as bouncing chairs. Porn fans now have a very unique way to watch the films they enjoy. Per hour, the cinema will show six screenings of one film. A maximum of eighteen people can attend one screening.
Natalie, the owner, describes the film theater as being something like an amusement park. She also says that it is perfectly suitable as a venue for evening plans with your loved ones. "Come with your wife, have a laugh, try something different."
She tells the Dutch Review that the 5D porn cinema isn't just going to focus on tourists for their audience.
After your 5D porn experience, Natalie says that you'll probably feel "energized." Perhaps after leaving the cinema, you'll want to "have a beer or a coffee and talk" to give yourself some time to process what just happened.
The cinema, 5D Porn, has movies made in collaboration with a well-known name in the Dutch porn industry- Kim Holland. Only a few movies will be produced at a time though since, according to Natalie, each film is "quite expensive to make".

The Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale, aka Fairy Clock, has a rich history of use as food and medicine to the body, soul and nature itself. Naturally more nutritious than some plants in one's garden, the dandelion has more vitamin A then spinach, more vitamin C than tomatoes and is rich in iron, potassium, zinc, phosphorus and calcium. Dandelions are prolific at detoxifying the liver and bloodstream, balancing the intestinal flora and soothing the digestive tract. Dandelions extract minerals from deep in the soil making them available for other nearby plants. They detoxify contaminated terrain and fertilize their surroundings.
The Great Mystery, Spirit of Love and Light, is unraveling my fear-based false religious mindset and enabling me to become honestly, imperfectly, and sometimes painfully human. Part of this metamorphosis is likened to a dandelion seed buried in the darkness, and growing into a glorious flower, due to my yearning and openness to know the true nature of Divinity. My fear has been replaced with fervent belief, and an abiding connection to the indwelling of the Spirit of God. Like dandelion seeds floating on the breeze, my essence is mingled with the Spirit of God which is pure love, joy, peace, goodness, and gentleness. When I make this thought real and present, it brings rest to my soul.
As I ponder on the contribution of the dandelion, I can't help but notice how deeply I connect metaphorically to this astounding plant species. Seen as a "pain in the neck," a weed, a nuisance by much of manicured society, ignored by many, and yet, it is treasured by herbalists, children and seekers of "all good things." I remember as a kid using a handy tool to rid our front yard of the yellow-faced weed. "Get the roots," my father would say, "or else they will keep popping up." Young and eager to please, I had no idea how I was actually hurting our yard by destroying the gift Great Mystery had planted.
In many ways, as a tomboy ever evolving as androgynous lesbian, I felt like a little dandelion that needed to be extracted from my parents' lawn, as their friends and church family also meticulously weeded their lawns. Over the years, my leaves withered as I noticed all the pretty petunias and roses flourishing in the well manicured fenced areas. "Why was I not created more like them," I wondered.
Yet a voice from within says, "I have a purpose for you, my little dandelion. After your roots are strong and healthy, your worth, your gifts will be used by those who see you and understand." I find comfort in the paraphrased words of Matthew 11: 28-30: "Come unto Me, little dandelion, I know you are weary and heavy laden from struggling from all obstacles, bad weather, being disliked and ravished by others. Learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest from your roots to your petals."
What is my next step? Where do I turn? A little voice inside of me says, "Patience, little dandelion. Your roots are strong and deep. You have struggled to get here. Now live. Face the sun, drink in the rain and shine your radiant beauty."

Telling the Bees
Terry Jarrard-Dimond
wood, paint
Last evening I participated in a gathering of a group of artists to discuss our favorite books. There was no established criteria for choosing your book so we had a nice variety of subjects and types of books represented.
One Stop Bee Shop
Terry Jarrard-Dimond
wood, twine, wire
This work is now in the South Carolina State Art Collection housed at the
South Carolina Art Museum in Columbia, SC.
I choose a book I read some years ago, The Queen Must Die and Other Affairs of Bees and Men by William Longgood with illustrations by Pamela Johnson. Longgood introduces the book with this description: This book is about those marvelous and perverse creatures, the bees. In a larger sense it is an appreciation of the daily miracles we dismiss as commonplace or over-look altogether, a minute examination of the small better to understand the larger canvas of life.
No Kings
Terry Jarrard-Dimond
wood and paint
I'm not sure why I was so attracted to this book. I don't keep bees, I'd never read about bees or thought much about them, but I did buy the book and I took it with me on a two week artists retreat at the Hambidge Center in North Georgia. I went to the retreat with only a vague idea of what I would be working on but I had taken lots of mixed media materials, wood and my bandsaw. I began reading and the descriptive language of Longgood began to fill my head with ideas for new work. The writer had managed to fill this small tomb with drama, science, myth, history, all presented in a way that made it impossible for me not to see the stories and revelations in relation to people as well as bees.
Honey In the Hive
Terry Jarrard-Dimond
wood, woven fan, paint
During the retreat I created 13 new sculptures related directly to ideas spawned by reading The Queen Must Die. This was very unique for me. While I've always collected titles, phrases, bits and pieces of information which touched me and seemed to point toward new work, I've never been so moved by one book. I did additional reading about bees and bee keeping and I continued to make work on this theme, however nothing has ever inspired me to make as much work on a single topic as Longgood's book.
Terry Jarrard-Diond
wood, metal slats, wire, aluminum
Most of these works were sold through my gallery at that time, The Signature Shop in Atlanta, Ga. I don't know where they are, who purchased them, if they are still hanging in some home or office, I don't even recall the names of all the pieces, but I hope they have given the owners as much pleasure as I received when I made them.
Thank you for spending time at
Studio 24-7
Where the Bees are
Always Buzzing.

There was no shortage of courage, speed and aggression. Unfortunately there were accidents too.
In 1981 Andrea scored one point and had six race accidents and another 12 if you include practice and qualifying shunts.
He was made to skip the Dutch GP as a punishment and when he came back for Monza, he crashed again. "I don't remember any other driver who gave the mechanics so much work," remembered Tyler Alexander of 'De Crasheris'. "Once after another night without sleep, we had one more destroyed car delivered back to the pits, some of the mechanics actually started to cry."

Eight-month-old Boomer, a German shepherd-Lab mix, was surrendered to the Parsippany Animal Shelter in Parsippany, New Jersey.
He was having a hard time being adopted because he had so much energy. But when a police officer came to the shelter looking for a bearded dragon for his son, he spotted Boomer first.
But Boomer didn't end up going home with the police officer to be a pet for his son. Instead, he was the perfect candidate to be trained as a bomb-sniffing K-9 unit dog with the police department.
"We're looking for a dog with a high amount a drive. A dog that's really, really excited about getting rewarded," Det.
Sgt. Aaron Tomasini explained. And Boomer definitely fit that description!
"He was a handful. He was a lot to deal with. But for us, guess what? That's exactly what we are looking for, so it was perfect!"
The dog will be in great company and couldn't have been chosen by a better police department.
"We have one of the most sophisticated K-9 programs in the United States," Morris County Sheriff James Gannon said.
Boomer will be trained over a course of 12 to 14 weeks, learning obedience and how to sniff out a bomb. He'll become an integral part of the police department's K-9 unit.
"It was really nice that kind of a bad situation turns into a really, really good thing for us," Det. Sgt. Tomasini said.

- Knowledge in complex settings is a process of negotiation…an interplay of entities…a dance. And being knowledgeable in these settings requires an awareness of process and flow, not of being in possession of "knowledge"
- What has happened in journalism will also happen in education: breakdown of a single controlled narrative, increased role of amateurs, challenges to the existing business model, etc
- How should teaching and learning be structured in a networked world?
- Should Africa (or any region of the world) duplicate the educational system of Europe or North America? Should Africa adopt the curriculum of these regions? How should teaching and learning be delivered? How many schools should be built? What is the cost of building the physical support structures for learning and knowledge for a region like Africa? Is there a better way? What are the costs of building a technological infrastructure – internet connectivity and computers – in comparison to building schools and purchasing textbooks? (it's not an either or question – effective learning with technology from my experience, involves a blend of online and face-to-face).
- We need to throw out most or our assumptions of learning systems, content, learning design and delivery in order to build the future of Africa's learning and knowledge infrastructure
- Ingenuity and creativity from within Africa will address this challenge – it's not something that development agencies should "do for Africans"
- The learning process is less uncertain. How will the next generation of Africans be educated? What is the learning model that will fulfill this urgent, foundational, task?
- Right now, educational content flows into Africa which creates an external cultural injection. African educators have an opportunity to create a content/cultural outflow from Africa by increasing collaboration with each other and producing open content for other educational systems in the world to utilize. Open content is not enough. We need to open up the learning system as a whole to the benefits of participation, socialization, networks, and peer interaction
- Education in Africa, like many other systems in the world, would benefit enormously from a shift to social participative networked learning
- Two-critical questions need to be answered by anyone who wants to adjust the education system: 1. What does technology now do better than people can? 2. What can people do better than technology?
- Content duplication, scaling, and reproduction are far better managed by technology. One recorded lecture can be seen a thousand times online without significant increase in expense. The content broadcast of any course can be opened and shared online fairly easily, using simple tools like Skype, ustream, or Elluminate. Duplicating content – where we are now with open educational resources is easy and cheap.
- the social dimensions of learning are still best managed by humans
- Sugata Mitra has demonstrated the value of peer and self-directed learning in India
- In Africa, the foundational learning and knowledge development that must take place to break the cycle of crisis and urgency can best be met through social participative networked learning. In this model, educators can take advantage of the scalability of open content, the broadcast potential of lectures and recordings, and the social interactive potential of large-scale peer-based learning
- Traditional educational models simply cannot scale rapidly enough
1. It should be based on a unit of influence that is at the control of each individual (i.e. connections not networks)
2. Scale social interactions (not only content) so large network learning occurs, but in a way that permits various group/collective sizes
3. Promote and benefit from learner autonomy, helping learners to building skills and capacity for ongoing learning
4. Use distributed, decentralized technical infrastructure (p2p not centralized)
5. Extensively use learning analytics, preferably blurring physical and virtual interactions
6. Use curriculum intelligently (linked data/semantic web) in order to provide learners with personal and adaptive paths
7. Allow information splicing so that flows can be adjusted and organized to reflect different learning and social tasks
8. Enable easy variance of contexts – or as my colleague Jon Dron states – "context switching".
9. Offer varying levels of support and structure, under the control of the learner. If a subject is too challenging, learners can choose a structured learning path. Or, if learners prefer greater autonomy, more flexible paths can be adopted.
10. The system needs to learn from the learners (Hunch is a good example)
11. Integrate activities from various services so learners can centrally interact with data left in other services (Greplin)
12. Provide learners with the tools to connect and form learning networks with others in a course and across various disciplines (diversity exposure to ideas and connections needs to be intentional)

Jacket Potatoes
I often chuck them in when cooking something else and if it's done before them I leave baking until after dinner as they are just not precious.
If your child likes potatoes they are definitely worth a whirl. I send in a food thermos so they're hot.
Stack the deck for your child. If they like butter make them buttery. If they like cheese make them cheesy. Beans? Sour Cream? Mince?
Are jackets on your menu?
