Title: Control of Excitatory Synapse Formation by Huntingtin Abstract: Huntington?s Disease (HD) is an inherited, fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of poly-glutamine (poly-Q) repeats in the N-terminus of the Huntingtin (Htt) protein. While the causative mutation for HD can be detected long before disease onset, there are currently no treatments to prevent or delay neurodegeneration in HD. The dominant nature of the Htt mutation led to the hypothesis that HD is caused by a toxic gain-of-function of the mutant Htt protein. Therefore, the majority of HD therapeutic strategies are focused on reducing or eliminating mutant Htt. Recent work from our laboratory and others suggests an alternative hypothesis, that loss of Htt function is also a major driver of disease pathogenesis. In mouse genetic studies, our lab found that cortical Htt is required for the correct establishment of cortical and cortico- striatal excitatory synaptic connections, and that this function of Htt is lost when mutant Htt is present. What are the functions of wild-type Htt in establishing and maintaining synaptic connections? How does disruption of wild-type Htt function contribute to HD pathogenesis? These are the questions that I will answer during my postdoctoral research in Dr. Cagla Eroglu?s laboratory at Duke University. In my preliminary experiments I found an unexpected role for neuronal Htt as a regulator of astrocyte- induced synaptogenesis. Astrocytes secrete thrombospondin (TSP) family proteins, which induce synapse formation via their neuronal receptor, the gabapentin receptor ?2?-1. In biochemical experiments, I found that ?2?-1 directly interacts with wildtype Htt, but this interaction is impaired when the disease-causing poly-Q repeat expansion is present in Htt. Furthermore, Htt is required in neurons to suppress synaptogenesis in the absence of TSP signaling, suggesting that Htt and ?2?-1 have opposing functions that balance the growth of excitatory synaptic connectivity. Based on these findings, I developed the hypothesis that Htt is an inhibitor of excitatory synapse formation. I will use a combination of primary neuronal culture, molecular biology, biochemistry, confocal microscopy, and mouse genetics, to test the hypothesis that Htt controls synaptic connectivity through its interaction with ?2?-1, and that this function of Htt is impaired when the poly-Q expansion is present. Additionally, I will determine whether the genetic manipulation of ?2?-1 expression can rescue synaptic deficits and delay or stop disease progression in HD model mice. Collectively, I expect these studies will significantly advance the field of HD research by identifying specific molecular mechanisms through which loss of wild-type Htt function contributes to disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, these findings are poised to provide novel therapeutic strategies to treat early synaptic dysfunction and delay or prevent onset of neurodegeneration in HD.
Huntington Disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with no current cure. It is known that a large protein named Huntingtin is mutated in people with this disorder. My aim is to explore how Huntingtin functions in the healthy brain to establish synaptic connections, and how disease-causing mutations impair this function.

Packing and Moving is a very hectic job to do particularly if you have a lot of things to pack. Just because of this many people like to hire professional moving companies to do the job.
To guard your valuables, you might want to consider a few things before choosing a company to transport your things.
Some points to consider before you decide on a moving company.
Packers is Dubai do not have enough time to do the work by themselves as they all are very busy. So they mostly like to hire the company for packing, unpacking, loading, unloading and transport even if moving to other state or country so most of the company. Most of the company open branches in nearby every state so that they do not have to outsource the staff to do the job.
You can hire someone to do anything for a specific price but you need to be in budget every time. If your funds are limited than you have to do most of the work by yourself and leave the difficult task for the moving companies. Packers in Dubai when are short of funds do their most packing and tasks by themselves. On the other hand due to competition Packers in Dubai have a plus point that they can easily bargain to companies and try to make their work done under budget.
A lot of investment is on stake when giving the task to a moving company and to check whether the company giving damage claim or not.
Long-distance moving companies are very from local mover companies. Moving from state to state or province to province is usually not performed by local movers. . Long-distance moves typically require specialized paperwork as well as a number of other documentations to make long move.
You've probably heard stories about people's bad experiences with moving companies. So when choosing a company one must check about its reputation in market or must investigate about the feedback. Because the households and the belonging are very important part of living you cannot just hand it over to anyone without even knowing about them. Your mover should be in work for long as it is difficult for a moving company to stay in business for long if they do bad work.
Some other points to keep in mind are as follow:
For reasonable commission a moving agent will make an experienced estimate of the value of the belongings and act as a go between matching your requirements and budget with a reputable and good Packers in Dubai.

Dental Implant Costs and More – FAQs
Thank you for choosing Steve S. Kim, DDS as your primary dental office. We are committed to keeping our patients smiling from ear to ear. If you are wondering whether dental implants are the right choice for you, take a moment to peruse through our FAQs below. Dr. Kim has taken the time to make sure that all your questions are answered so that you can make an informed decision about your oral health. If you would like to learn more about dental implants or you would like to schedule a consultation, call Steve S. Kim, DDS and we will book your appointment in our Torrance office.
Are dental implants a good choice for you?
Dr. Kim's patients often ask if dental implants are the right choice for them. Below, we will present you with three questions to ask yourself to give you a better idea.
1) Do you want a smile that makes you proud?
Dental implants that are placed into your mouth by an experienced implantologist will not move or shift around and they will provide you with the confidence you need to talk and eat without worry. Dentures often move around in the mouth and can make it difficult to talk and eat while leaving you with a bit of a self-conscious feeling.
2) Do you want a smile that is natural?
Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth. They fit, feel, and function like one, especially when they are placed in your mouth by an experienced dentist. Other tooth replacement options can make it difficult to have a natural experience as they may move and limit your ability to feel comfortable with them.
3) Do you want a smile that is hassle free?
Dental implants are a wonderful choice for most patients because they allow you to enjoy the foods that you love, you can brush normally, and you will have a natural bite. Other tooth replacement options can restrict these things and may not feel as hassle-free as you thought.
If you answered yes to one of or all the questions above, then dental implants may be the right choice for you and your situation. Dental implants are a great choice for many patients and when you come into Steve S. Kim, DDS, we can go over all your options for you and tell you more about the implants.

What will dental implants cost me?
This is a question that can be tricky to answer because the truth is, it depends. There is no one plan or one treatment that works for everyone and the cost will vary because you may have work that needs to be done or appointments to attend. Unlike other tooth replacement options available, dental implants are customized to your mouth and your mouth alone.
With the above in mind, the cost of dental implants is comparable to that of other tooth replacement options. Dental implants are customized, and they are meant to last you an entire lifetime, so they make a great investment for patients. When it comes time for you to talk about and seek out dental implants, you want to work with someone who is an experienced implant dentist, such as Dr. Kim.
It is very possible that other tooth replacement options will have a much lower cost, and this may be enticing to you. While these other options are lower at first, their lifetime care is equal to or greater than that of dental implants. For example, dentures are cheaper initially, but you need to replace them, buy the solution to clean them, buy a case for them, and more. The extra needed accessories really add up.
The average cost of a single tooth dental implant is somewhere between $3,000 and $4,500. While it seems like a lot at first, remember, this is an average. Dr. Kim will speak with you about pricing and we run several specials, offer discounts, and more to help you pay for your dental implants. If you would like to learn more about any specials or offers, call Steve S. Kim, DDS today.
One thing that you may be thinking about doing is choose dental implants from companies who offer them for cheap. While it sounds like a good idea, it is not. No dental implants are cheap, and it is important that you work only with a well-qualified dentist to place them. You should take time to ask your dentist about the procedure and their credentials too.
The team at Steve S. Kim, DDS wants to warn you to be on the look out for companies that quote you for the cost of implants BEFORE they see your teeth. This is just impossible to do. When you come into our Torrance office, you will receive a comprehensive exam and we will tell you the cost and timeframe to completion too.
Can I expect insurance to pay for my dental implants?
Some dental insurances do pay for dental implants while others do not. We can help you check your coverage for you. If you find out that your insurance does not cover them, you can ask them to provide you with an allowance in the amount equal to a similar tooth replacement option. In addition, Steve S. Kim, DDS offers payment plans, discounts, and financing to help you afford the dental treatment you need.
Who should perform my dental implant procedure?
It is imperative that you ONLY work with a dentist who is licensed, experienced, and trained to place dental implants. Dr. Kim has all the credentials to provide you with the best dental care and a customized approach to treatment.

How long does it take to restore a tooth with a dental implant?
It depends. Once you have had an initial exam and evaluation, you will receive a treatment plan from Dr. Kim. This plan will breakdown the cost of treatment and the estimated time to complete the dental work. Your treatment time will also depend on whether you need to have additional restorations completed prior to the dental implant procedure.
To ensure that your smile remains strong and beautiful, you may need multiple appointments at Steve S. Kim, DDS. The amount of time from the start of the procedure to completion could be a couple of months up to a year. Patients who receive treatment can return home and continue their social activities as they would any other time.
What are some of the risks associated with dental implants?
Dental implants are both safe and effective. They are considered one of the most predictable procedures that can be performed within the dental industry. There are some complications that may arise, but they are not considered to be normal. These risks are more common in individuals who smoke.
Some of the most common risks include sinus problems, nerve damage, infection, damage to the teeth or tooth roots, fractures, tingling or numbness, implant failure, and the inability to place the implants in the mouth due to a lack of bone.
If you are worried about any of these risks, it is important to speak with Steve S. Kim, DDS about them. We will check your mouth and jawbone to ensure the procedure can be completed and provide you with a breakdown of procedures that need to be performed beforehand, if there are any.
Do dental implants hurt?
When you think of dental implants or hear the words oral surgery, you may instantly think that the procedure will hurt. This is not always the case. In fact, you will likely only experience some slight discomfort and bruising once the procedure is completed. Many patients who have dental implants placed are quite surprised to learn that it does not hurt like they thought it would.
Most patients can return to their normal activities the next day once the procedure is done and in between their appointments.
While my crown is made, is there an option for me to receive teeth?
Many patients worry that they will be without teeth for a long time. While most patients do not receive teeth until the crowns are made, there are situations where you may need to receive teeth before that point. Patients who work in jobs outside of the home or those individuals who need to speak with the public will benefit from temporary teeth while the crowns are made.
At Steve S. Kim, DDS, we do offer temporary teeth and you can receive these temps while the crown is being fabricated. You may have heard of this as same-day teeth. If you would like to learn more about these temporary teeth, it is important that you speak with Dr. Kim. Not all patients can receive them, so it is best to schedule a consultation and speak with the dentist.
If you have any questions about dental implants, whether you are a good candidate, or when the procedure can start, call Steve S. Kim, DDS today. We offer in-house consultations right here in Torrance, CA.

What is Atlético Madrid and Celta's form's form ahead of this match?
Atlético had an impressive pre-season, which cemented their hopes for success in the 2019-20 La Liga campaign. Simeone's men enter this match on a four-game winning streak, including a 2-1 victory against Juventus in their last friendly.
Getafe drew three of their six recent friendlies, but the good news for José Bordalás is that his defensive unit has not conceded more than one goal during those games, which included three clean sheets. The team's last friendly concluded in a 4-1 win against Atalanta, which gives them hope for success ahead of a tough 2019-20 campaign.
Atlético Madrid vs Getafe - Who's in and who's out
Atlético Madrid will have three absences for this game: Angel Correa, Diego Costa and Sime Vrsaljko. Correa and Costa have pending bans from last season, but in Costa's case, he is also carrying an injury that might see him miss all of this month's games. The rest of Atlético's star-studded cast is fit to play, including new signings Marcos Llorente, Joao Félix, Renan Lodi, Kieran Trippier and Mario Hermoso, to name some of them.
Getafe's coach, José Bordalás, will see his side fight for the first three points without three players as well. Amath Ndiayé and Vitorino Antunes have been ruled out for this game, while there is a glimmer of hope in Francisco Portillo's case, as he will be assessed before the match to determine his availability. Los Azulones added Marc Cucurella on loan from Barcelona, who could represent a fine addition for the team's midfield.
Atlético Madrid vs Getafe - Head-to-head stats
Atlético has won their six most recent home games against Getafe.
Getafe has not been able to score a single goal in their six most recent trips to visit Atlético.
The last La Liga match between these teams ended in a 2-0 win for Atlético.
Los Colchoneros have scored 18 goals in their last 6 home games against Getafe, including a 7-0 blowout in 2013.
The Spanish capital giants have only drawn one of their last six matches against Getafe in all comps.
Joao Felix's La Liga debut is a highly anticipated happening that will surely take place on Sunday. All week long, fans and experts have been asking themselves if coach Diego Simeone will take Felix's development step by step, but it seems that El Cholo is ready to place the burden of command on his young star's shoulders.
"He is always open to suggestions, and he's learning to work for the team. He has a massive talent, and he will show it once he settles in. I'm not worried about piling up the pressure on him, he's an important player and we are sure that we can get the most out of him for the benefit of the team."

By Gráinne Connolly and PA reporter
Thousands have gathered in Derry/Londonderry and Belfast today to protest against Climate Change.
The campaign was part of the wider international day of action which saw hundreds of pupils walk out of school to demand action on tackling the climate emergency.
In Belfast, thousands marched through the city centre ahead of a rally on the grounds of City Hall.
🎥 Belfast is buzzing as young people lead the city's #ClimateStrikes as it makes it's way to City Hall. pic.twitter.com/uR1biKHsmB— Q Radio News (@qnewsdesk) September 20, 2019
Organisers put the turn-out at between 3,000 and 4,000 - far in excess of the 300 they had been anticipating.
Students were given rousing cheers as they made impassioned speeches from a temporary stage outside City Hall.

There were boos, too, when striker Ellie Crawford told the crowds that the DUP and Ulster Unionists had not replied to invites to address the gathering.
She referenced a media statement from former DUP education minister Peter Weir, who had said it was "irresponsible" to call on children to be taken out of school for the event.
The activist was met with loud cheers when she responded: "It's a bit strange when our attendance is being questioned, when Stormont hasn't been running in two years."

They also slated MLA Peter Weir for saying it was "irresponsible" to call on children to be taken out of school for the event. pic.twitter.com/qGOMdUJmxK— Q Radio News (@qnewsdesk) September 20, 2019
Meanwhile, the Lord Mayor of Belfast addressed the rally and pledged to support the young campaigners.

In Derry/Londonderry, large crowds gathered outside the Guildhall for the climate strike including students who left school and their families.
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood, Sinn Féin's Elisha McCallion and Alliance leader Naomi Long.

Recover Save?
Papa2kXX posted a topic in General DiscussionsI was playing The Following last night, but then today I decided I wanted to start that part fresh so I delete that save...What I didnt realize was that it also deleted my main campaign when I did that. Is it possible to recover and if so, what do I need to do? Is there anyone else with this issue...I am really mad about the whole thing because I completed the game fully already like 8 straight days of work I put into this game...What can I do? I didn't know that it would delete my previous campaign because it sat in a different menu than the main campaign...-___-...THIS REALLY SUCKS
Remove Water
sparkhead95 posted a topic in Developer ToolsHi, I'm trying to remove the water place on the default (example) map? Probably an obvious thing I'm missing EDIT 1: Also, how can I rotate an object without "Snap"? E.g rotate it by like something small (1 or 2 degrees)? EDIT 2: Also No.2: I've made my map permanently night and stormy. As it's stormy, it's making objects like bodies, lamps etc look like they're being affected by a strong wind - even when they are inside! Is there a way to stop this? Maybe the room/corridor that I have made is not being register as 'inside'? An example of this affection is that there is a body and its clothes are rustling in the wind... inside. Thanks!

I wanted to walk to Dodger Stadium, since it's close to my house and since none of us spend enough time outside, but the sky was on fire and everyone had masks on and so my friend and I took a 4Runner instead. Camp Flog Gnaw, the seven-year-old festival helmed by Tyler, the Creator and produced by the events company, Goldenvoice, has moved North from the Coliseum to Chavez Ravine, but the increasingly remote location feels futile; the air is heavy with grime and your clothes will smell like a campfire for days on end and the President is taunting park rangers like a child and my phone is telling me the weather is "Unhealthy Air Quality For Sensitive Groups," which is not a kind of weather at all.
And still, Camp Flog Gnaw couldn't exist anywhere else. There are only a couple of climates that can support an outdoor festival in the middle of November, and far fewer that are convenient for the sorts of legacy acts and rising stars that fill out the two-day lineup. There's little in the way of L-A.-specific booking that happens here—there's no Blueface set, at least not yet—but the event feels like a glossy-eyed, distinctly teenaged version of the city: sunny and arrested in its development, frozen at a point in young adulthood when your clothes become very important to you and your text messages become very earnest.
So the whole thing happened under this gross, dystopic, discolored sky. It's not the first time the Camp, which should be a bit of light escapism, has nearly been swallowed by an increasingly grave outside world: two years ago, when it was still held down by USC, the lines of fans waiting to get inside mingled with and became indistinguishable from those marching in an impromptu anti-Trump rally that trotted through the city. But the production itself is, it has to be said, remarkably impressive and immersive. Between the main stages—which were in the Southwest and Southeast corners of the Dodger Stadium parking lots—were an array of flashing neon lights, Ferris wheels, swing rides, carnival games, and churro stands that beckon like greasy sirens. We've hit a point of saturation with music festivals where most no longer feel novel; Flog Gnaw stays unique by clinging to just the right amount of, well, camp.
As the festival has gone on over the years, Odd Future, the collective headed by Tyler that reached out from Tumblr and grabbed rap by the throat at the beginning of this decade, has loosened its vice grip on the Flog Gnaw schedule. This year, the two-day slate was an impressive survey of what's happening in rap, R&B, and pop. Saturday got an energetic turn from Kali Uchis (then saw that energy carried to its absurdist extreme during Playboi Carti's set); it had a furious, virtuosic Pusha-T performance complete with "Grindin" and "Runaway" and messages like "RAP ALBUM OF THE YEAR" and "FUCK DRAKE" flashed on an otherwise minimalist stage set. And that first night closed with SZA, who has grown into herself as a performer this year, wringing CTRL for all its grooves and all its painful self-grappling in ways that make the songs seem new, seem immediate.
But Odd Future's presence is unshakable. A$AP Rocky, who performed Saturday in front of a giant crash-test dummy head (get it?) and in a shirt that says LISTEN SEE DESTROY (get it?), has become a friend, collaborator, and tourmate of Tyler's, all after OF and the A$AP Mob began the decade sparring on Twitter when the two crews were vying for the public's attention early on. There were acts like Rex Orange County and Brockhampton, who have adapted Odd Future's earnestness and anarchy, respectively, in tidy, digestible ways for another sub-generation of kids. There's even something about Kanye West and Kid Cudi's set, as Kids See Ghosts, which closed out the festival on Sunday night, that felt indebted to the raw, first-emotion-is-the-best ethos that Tyler et al. have pushed since 2010. In a way, Flog Gnaw felt like a smartly constructed argument for Odd Future's centrality in rap and pop music for all of the 2010s.
As for the principals themselves: Tyler played Saturday night, on the East end of the Camp, while Earl Sweatshirt re-emerged on the West end on Sunday. The symbolism is hard to miss. A few years ago, rumors of bad blood dogged the pair; recently, it seems clear they're simply on different creative and personal paths. Where Tyler's performance features remarkably intricate lighting design and a fully functional treehouse, and where his music at times disappears inside itself, Earl's set was completely no-frills, leaning heavily on hookless songs from his back catalog and unfamiliar ones from his forthcoming album. (Earl also ceded the last minutes of his set to Rico Nasty, content to play cheerleader, then excitedly introduced the Valee song that will play him offstage.)
One of the most arresting performances on Sunday (just when the worst of the smoke and burned ash in the air is starting to lift) was from Billie Eilish, who was born three months after 9/11. There were plenty of festivalgoers around my age—who were leaving high school around the time Earl left for Samoa—and plenty near Eilish's—who likely view Odd Future's early, self-consciously provocative work as either a status quo to branch away from or as something crass to be rejected, or at least heavily qualified. The offspring of Tyler's weirder, softer records, like the aforementioned Rex Orange County, seem like a natural pairing for the pastels that once defined OF's visual aesthetic. Now, the kids are wearing clothes that skew a little darker, but are no less preeningly on-trend, having molted old streetwear like snakeskin and having dropped the cartoon-donut polka dots for gestures toward couture. Nearly a decade after Odd Future became an avatar for youth culture in Los Angeles, the Camp readily admits that time marches on and that nothing lasts forever except novelty socks.

Glock 41 Review – If You Really Want A .45…
Summary: It runs. It's cheap. It holds a lot of ammo for a .45.
Recommended Uses:
Occasional Heavy Metal Division competition use.
Duty use if .45 is required/desired.
If you can effectively carry a Glock 34, you can probably carry the 41.
Eats any ammo. No malfunctions. For a .45 workable for small hands. Fits G34 gear perfectly.
Of all the .45s, this is one of them.
I picked up this Glock 41 from one of their prize table certificates at a major USPSA match. I have since done some modification and used it in several local and major matches in Heavy Metal division (3-Gun). I use it for certain Law Enforcement classes with TPC as one of our local LE agencies still issues Glock 21s to their officers, and the 41 is essentially a G21SF with a longer slide.
I sent this G41 to Taran Tactical Innovations for one of their Performance Packages. They reduced and stippled the grip, performed a trigger job, installed a new guide rod and recoil spring as well as their sight set (replacing the horrible stock plastic dovetail fillers sights). They also sent some of their +4 magazine extensions which increase the capacity to 17 rounds. While TTI is a great shop (and one of my sponsors), a lot of this work could be done yourself at home, if you're so inclined. The only .45-specific part is the guide rod from Glockmeister.
I've come to the conclusion that I don't love it, but I don't really hate it either. It works, holds a lot of ammo, and doesn't cost a lot of money. With light loads, it's an excellent low-cost/low-effort for 3-Gun Heavy Metal, and an acceptable (if not optimal; .45 ACP comes with significant performance costs in recoil and capacity) duty and defensive pistol.
Potential Uses
A low-effort Heavy Metal pistol
If you strongly desire to shoot Heavy Metal division at a 3-Gun match requiring .45 Auto, this is the easiest way to do it. It's a Glock, you can buy it and expect it to work. It fits in standard Glock 34 holsters without modification, so if you already have a 34 you won't need a new holster. If you're shooting Heavy at a match that allows full capacity magazines, this holds as many rounds as a 2011 and seven more rounds (with TTI extensions) than a single-stack 1911. If the match restricts to 10-round magazines (like RM3G), spare magazines cost less than thirty bucks and will WORK out of the wrapper (unlike a 1911 or 2011 mag).
The Author's belt setup for RM3G 2018: Glock 41 in ALS holster, King Competition shell caddy, HSGI Taco pouches for rifle and pistol.
With a lighter recoil and striker spring (the two have to go together, otherwise the striker spring will pull the gun out of battery), it will function quite well with light .45 loads. Modifications are largely the same as what you'd do to a 9mm Glock to make it competitive. It certainly won't be as nice as a well-built 2011, but it won't cost as much in cash or time to get it to work. I shoot a 9mm 2011 at most 3-Gun matches because the performance gain I get is worth the work and expense since I use it 90% of the time. I use my Heavy Metal gear about 1% of the time, so I'd rather not invest a lot of money or frustration in it. If all I shot was Heavy Metal I would set up an STI, but this G41 is perfect for someone like me who occasionally shoots the division.
25yd 5-Shot Group fired from the G41: Berry's 185gr HBRN bullet loaded by Dead On Ammunition.
I used this pistol in He-Man at the 2018 Rocky Mountain 3-Gun and was quite satisfied with it. Dead On Ammunition loaded some light .45 ammo using the Berry's MFG 185gr HBRN bullet traveling at 730fps. I had one shooter-induced malfunction (thumb riding the slide, which isn't problematic with full-power ammo but not good with light stuff), other than that the pistol performed as well as the operator.
A Duty Pistol
Let me start by saying that I don't recommend .45 ACP for a duty pistol. 9mm works just fine. But if you simply MUST use a .45 (either department policy or personal preference), then the G41 is probably the best option. The grip (especially with some reduction, if that's within your policy) is small enough that someone with small hands can still grip it, it holds a decent amount of ammo, and it's easier to shoot than it's 4.5"-barreled counterparts (the G21 and M&P .45). It's fed every type of ammo I've put in the mag; three types of JHP, FMJ Round Nose, Flat Point and Semi-Wadcutter (not that you'd use FMJ for duty).
G41 in Safariland 6360DO holster for Glock 34 (it works with or without optics and lights)
Personal Defense Pistol
Again, I don't recommend a .45 for a personal defense pistol. But, if you want to use a .45, then this is the one I'd recommend for home use, for the same reasons it makes a good duty pistol. It's a 5.3" barreled gun, so carrying it would be a challenge, but if you can carry a G34 or 1911, you can probably carry the G41. If you already have a .45, want to shoot it faster but don't want to buy another pistol, try some of Federal's Personal Defense Low Recoil Hydra-Shok. This load is a 165gr HydraShok bullet traveling at a (stated) 1060fps. It's far more pleasant to shoot and faster to return for follow-up shots. I was able to keep .50ish splits on an IPSC A-Zone at 25 yards.
Ammo L-R: 230gr Winchester "White Box FMJ", Federal 230gr HydraShok, Federal 165gr Low Recoil HydraShok, DOA Berry's 185gr HBRN
|Group Size (25 Yards)
|DOA/Berry's 185gr HBRN
|Federal 165gr Low Recoil Hydra-Shok
|Winchester 230gr "Whitebox"
|Federal 230gr Hydra-Shok
|3.39" (NOTE: shooter error suspected)

With the start of the test series between England and Sri-Lanka to get underway in the next couple of days, we're going to look at how both camps are faring heading into the first test at Headingley starting on the 19th of May (11am local time).
Quick Stats
- This will be the 9th test series that these two teams have played on English soil with both teams registering three series wins. However there have been three series consisting of only one test match with Sri-Lanka prevailing twice.
- England have a clear dominance at home, since the year 2000 out of 110 matches, England have recorded 62 wins 23 losses 25 draws.
- Angelo Mathews coin toss winning ability will be crucial for the tourists. Since the year 2000, England has batted first on their home soil a total of 59 times. During this time they have won 36 of those matches, drawn 12 and lost just 11.
- The form of Sri-Lanka has been indifferent as of late, with comprehensive losses to New Zealand and India surrounding a 2-0 series win against the lowly ranked West Indies.
- England's form has also been quite inconsistent, the Ashes series win against Australia consisted of a 400 run defeat and a match where they lost by an innings. Following the Ashes, England were comprehensively beaten in a series against Pakistan 0-2-1 (win-loss- draw) but won the most recent away test series against the Proteas (2-1-1).
The Squads
Below are the current test squads and each player's primary role for their country.
Being the touring side, Sri-Lanka has named an extended squad to select from. Interesting, is the number of bowlers and "all-rounders" Sri-Lanka have selected for this tour with only three specialist batsmen chosen in addition to a pleather of wicket-keeper batsmen. England, on the other hand has chosen just a twelve-man squad with a good balance of batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders.
When comparing both squads overall batting averages, England hold a distinct advantage over the tourists leading the squad average 31-23.
With the number of bowlers chosen in the Sri-Lanka squad, we've also compared the squads not including specialist bowlers.
These numbers show that Sri-Lanka is lacking batting depth in their squad. Although Angelo Mathews and both boast averages over 40, the numbers are worrying for many of the Sri-Lankan all-rounders. England's batting numbers aren't exactly elite, the depth of their line-up is more apparent with lower order players Moeen Ali (27.9) and Stuart Broad (22.9) significantly bolstering the batting order.
TSZ line-ups
Due to England's twelve-man squad, there should be no real surprises for the first test with Nottinghamshire's Jake Ball set to run the drinks.
However there's a lot of intrigue surrounding the Sri-Lankan line-up, with the loss of experienced campaigners/legends Kumar Sangakkara Mahela Jayawardene and very few players impressing during their past two tour matches against Essex and Leicestershire. Dhammika Prasad has been ruled out with injury and with the visitors only taking five wickets in their most recent match the bowling line-up is unclear. With the bat two players have seemed to cement themselves in the staring XI. Dasun Shanaka saved the tourists with a century in the first innings, whilst opener Dimuth Karuaratne made a second innings century before retiring. The middle order will prove to be an interesting line-up with only one other middle-order player passing a half-century for the entire match.
Result: England 3-0 (assuming no washouts!)
England's squad just has too much fire power both with star batsmen in Cook and Root in addition to a lethal bowling attack including the worlds number 1 ranked test bowler in Stuart Broad.
Man of the series - Ben Stokes
Expecting Stokes to get plenty of opportunity with both bat and ball, the English middle order has a few unknowns with Compton, Hales and especially the debutant in James Vince. Stokes has shown is worth the bat, particularly with an impressive series against the Proteas in South Africa where he averaged a healthy 63 with the bat and also claimed 12 wickets.
Leading run scorer - Alastair Cook
The Sri-Lankan bowling line-up is very inexperienced. Aside from Rangana Herath with a whopping 297 test wickets, no other Sri-Lankan bowler selected for this tour has taken over 60. With this inexperience, we should see Cook carry his county cricket form into the highest level.
Leading wicket taker - Steven Finn
Following a two-year absence from test cricket, Finn has responded brilliantly in his past two series against both Australia (13 wickets at 29) and South Africa (11 wickets at 26). Finn seems to have harnessed his potential and combined with his towering height, he should be a tough ask for the inexperienced Sri-Lankan batting line-up.

Oh man…I got up at 5pm, drank 4 cups of coffee, watched it turn into night within 30 minutes of getting up, laid on the couch looking at that damned black horse. I turned over and went back to sleep until 8pm, forced myself to get up and stay up. My eyes remained blurry and felt like paper cuts were in them, I made more coffee. Google images is the most excellent source for research. After searching black horses, red horses, white horses, painted horses, sketched horses, reared horses, horse's heads and just about any aspect of a horse there is, I began painting over the black horse again.
It took about an hour to thinning cover him with white once more. I believe that canvas is going to be double its original weight! I have used 3-4 ounce bottles of white paint covering and recovering the 30 or so legs and maybe 12 heads and partial bodies…amazing. This time I covered him completely. Tonight I will paint the horse-period….to be continued…
It is 5am and the black horse's base is done and he looks majestic! How it began was as usual, the brush tightly in my hand, afraid to be free but then I realized: If I make a mistake, I will just paint over it, it is not so hard…lolol. So here I am standing there, tired beyond tired looking at the massive space I have to paint him in. I start with the brush low, in my left hand (I am left-handed), at about the level of my ribs. I hold it with 2 fingers instead of my entire hand and let go! I let the brush go where it wanted to in a soft, flowing way up the hind quarter, to the rear, across the back and into the shoulder as far up as I could reach.
Standing there wobbling on my tiptoes, I let the brush drop and paint splashed all over. I stood back and looked at the frame of the black horse and was finally pleased. I cleaned up the mess and got on the step stool using the same technique for the head and neck. The head was not right, so I did it again, and again and again. I wanted the horse's head down in a loyal, powerful pose. I had tried it up but he was too close to the locust ascending from the bottomless pit, they were eye to eye. I left the head off and took the canvases down to work on the detail of the body; thousands and thousands of swirls and texture highlighted in metallic blue.

Of friends, family and cute singing boys…
My BFF Ingrid just posted a very open and heartfelt post about the process of coming to terms with her sexuality over at her blog. It revealed things that I never knew and things I had forgotten. It made me a little sad to think that even though we've always loved each other very much, we were too scared to reveal our most worrying secrets.
But the past made us who we are, and who we are is awesome.
The first time I told my grandparents I was bisexual, they thought I needed to be corrected on my use of the language. In their defence, I was very young. But I didn't need to be told the distinction between platonic 'like' and its nonplatonic counterpart (two different terms in Spanish). I knew what I was saying. But from that point on I also knew it was bad and I needed to keep it a secret.
Later on, as a teenager, I flat out told my grandparents I was bisexual. They cried. They told me that I shouldn't say things like that where anyone could hear me. That if my friends knew, they would abandon me. Keep in mind those friends included Ingrid, how ironic.
Today I read a post by her where she drew a 'portrait' of me. She filled it with references to our old inside jokes and I really missed her then. But I printed out the drawing and pinned it to my cubicle wall. 😀
Okay, so I did promise a cute singing boy. I've been obsessing over the music of Casey Stratton. I heard his stuff thanks to Pandora.com but it took me a while to go beyond the one song 'Opaline'. I'm updating from my mobile phone so I'm going to try to attach media to this post, but if it doesn't work I will fix it when I'm at my computer.

LaCroix à la Cockroach
October 22, 2018
The National Beverage Corporation –makers of the wildly popular LaCroix Sparkling Water – was hit with a potential class action lawsuit on October 1st. The class action complaint was brought on behalf of Lenora Rice who demands a jury trial for violations of express warranties, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud act.
The chief issue giving rise to the violations come from LaCroix's use of "all-natural," "100% natural," "innocent," "naturally essenced," and "always 100% natural" [collectively referred to as "all natural"] as part of their label and marketing for LaCroix products. Rice alleges that the use of "all-natural" is misleading and confuses consumers into thinking the product is natural, and this misleading marketing has allowed LaCroix to gain popularity. These representations and phrases are found on LaCroix's product labels, packaging, and its website.
Rice claims that LaCroix products are made of substances that are not "all-natural" because they contain substances like ethyl butanoate, limonene, linalool, and linalool propionate. These substances are declared to be synthetic compounds by the Food and Drug Administration. In addition, the complaint asserts these substances are synthetically created and are "added to consumable goods to make those goods taste or smell a certain way." These substances can also be harmful and dangerous for consumption. The complaint states that "limonene causes kidney toxicity and tumors[,] linalool is used as a cockroach insecticide[,] and linalool propionate is used to treat cancer."
Rice states LaCroix is aware that its products contain these synthetical substances. Furthermore, Rice argues the "[d]efendant is well-aware that consumers purchase LaCroix based on the mistaken belief that it is 'natural' and that consumers hold this belief because Defendant's misleading packaging and advertising efforts." Moreover, the complaint mentions that the "[d]efendant purposely makes these misleading representations as part of a scheme to induce American consumers into buying LaCroix products."
The use of "all natural" and the resulting sales and popularity are the basis for the lawsuit's causes of action. For the express warranty violation, the complaint asserts that Defendants formed an express warranty that their product was "natural" and breached that warranty. As for the unjust enrichment claim, Rice argues LaCroix's misrepresentations of their product being "all natural" increased sales and revenue that would not have happened if the product was known to have artificial and synthetic ingredients. Lastly, for violating the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, the plaintiff alleges LaCroix's misrepresentations were made intentionally, and were deceptive.
Rice asks the court to certifying the class under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 23, enter judgment in favor of the plaintiff and proposed class, award all possible damages available under law, order defendants to return any "ill-gotten funds," an injunction requiring defendants to cease unlawful and deceptive activities, and award class expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees.
The National Beverage Corporation has denied these allegations and believes the lawsuit is intended to be "false, defamatory, and intended to intentionally damage the company's reputation." The company issued the following statement:
[N]atural flavors in LaCroix are derived from the natural essence oils from the named fruit used in each of the flavors. There are no sugars or artificial ingredients contained in, nor added to, those extracted flavors.
LaCroix also tweeted:
We've heard your comments and want to address all the misleading allegations
LaCroix sparkling water is a healthy beverage. All ingredients in LaCroix are natural. Allegations that claim otherwise are false and trouble us much as they trouble you.
Please stand with us as we defend our beloved LaCroix
In addition, according to FoodNavigator – an online news source for the food industry – the substances mentioned in the complaint, ethyl butanoate, limonene, linalool, and linalool propionate, can be derived from both natural and synthetic sources. Also, LaCroix lists only two ingredients in their Sparkling Water products: carbonated water and natural flavor. The complaint does not specify how Rice believes the synthetic substances are even in the products or whether they are created naturally or derived synthetically. But, according to Beaumont Costales – the law firm who filed the class action lawsuit – states that "[i]n fact . . . testing reveals that LaCroix contains a number of artificial ingredients, including linalool, which is used in cockroach insecticide."
As for the harmful effects of the synthetic products, according to Popular Science –– "just because an ingredient is used in insecticides doesn't mean it is poisonous or dangerous." They mention that the ingredients mentioned in the complaint are actually not considered dangerous.
National Beverage Corporation has yet to file an answer, but we can presume that they will rely on some of the arguments being made by FoodNavigator and Popular Science. If the class action does proceed and the plaintiffs are successful, the decision will have a devastating effect on LaCroix. In addition, it will give food and beverage companies pause in using terms like "all natural" on their packaging. The outcome might even provide consumers with some much-needed clarity.

The docket number for the case is: 2018-CH-12302.

For the longest time I have been a fan of bubbly and I couldn't imagine dining out without a bottle of good bubby or wine. I have never been entirely convinced when it comes to gin, but I do however have to confess that I have been bitten by the gin bug and I am unashamedly loving it.
When I attend the launch of Musgrave Crafted gin, the event redefined my entire outlook on how gin can be consumed. Simone Musgrave, the founder of Musgrave Gin shared her story on how she got into the business of distilling and the process she went through to produce Musgrave. She went into great detail about how Musgrave Gin has 11 botanicals and how it is born from the flavours and history of Africa and its ancient spice route.
When we got to my favourite part, the tasting, we started off with the Musgrave 11 Premium, which notes of aromatic Cardamom, African Ginger (Whitei Mondei) and Grains of Paradise. These botanicals are reminiscent of the perfumes found at spice markets. My favourite, the Musgrave Pink Gin has all of the spice and flavours of the Musgrave 11 however, it has been toned down to be gentler and less spicy, to bring out the floral of the rosehips and the infused rosewater.
Both these gins can be enjoyed neat and the Pink gin leaves a beautiful Turkish delight after taste. "Musgrave Gin is no ordinary spirit – it is an artisan gin celebrated for its top notes of Cardamom, African Ginger and Grains of Paradise.

I drove past Open House today on the way to pick up some stuff for our charity shop - it brought back a Patrick memory..
I walk with Patrick – we're on our way to Open House a mental health drop in centre with music therapy. We talk complete nonsense as we make conversation about Saddam, wooden submarines, Chelsea losing to Arsenal, Tony Blair and Tim Henman.
This is our first visit to Open House and it is beautiful. The staff offers respect, tolerance and patience. We look in on the woodwork and art sessions – but settle for the Music therapy group.
Simon the therapist soon has Patrick playing the piano. I sit and watch the therapist "shall we play a duet?" he asks Patrick. Then a miracle, the dreadful noise that Patrick makes is skillfully woven into something beautiful. Patrick knows. He can feel that he is creating. His eyes glaze over. Smiles. Something happens inside me as I look at the picture before me – Patrick champion nonsensical scavenger of market rubbish is creating something beautiful. He is experiencing a wholeness that he has not felt before. Unforgettable!
"I sing too". Simon looks at Patrick 'with kindness "so what do you want to sing?". Patrick puffs out his chest, lifts his chin "I am going to sing Elton Johns 'Candle in the wind!'"
Go Pat!
I think I saw a sight of salvation that we don't often see or talk about in evangelical circles – it was beautiful.

SUNDAY 3rd March 2019
With a fleet of 130 aircraft in over 30 countries, Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) flies in some of the most challenging places in the world! This is an opportunity to find out more about the worldwide ministry of MAF. Chat with some of the MAF New Zealand team and meet MAF NZ CEO Mark Fox. Come and see a MAF plane that flew as a lifeline to isolated communities for 30 years!
We warmly invite you to join us at this event! Tell your friends! All welcome.
Sunday 3 March
Come anytime between 1.00 - 4.00pm!
Taonui Airfield, Campbell Road, Feilding
This Cessna flew first in Cambodia and then in the remote far north of Australia. It has the capacity to carry up to 5 passengers or 400kg of freight. It is currently used to train and prepare pilots for the challenging conditions they will face overseas.
All MAF's 206s have been modified to suit the environments in which they fly; over-size main wheels and heavy-duty nose gear are designed to withstand the forces exerted on the aircraft from rough airstrips. A large cargo pod underneath the plane allows extra freight to be carried.
One of the smallest aircraft in the MAF fleet, it is a durable, reliable "workhorse". With a cruising speed of 222kph (120 knots) it is one of the slowest aircraft in the fleet, but its ability to land on short, rugged airstrips makes it ideally suited for MAF'S work.
We look forward to seeing you! Why not bring some friends or your home group?
** Please note that this event is dependent on good weather. Please check our website the day before the event is scheduled to confirm we are able to go ahead.

The University of KwaZulu-Natal's College of Law and Management Studies (CLMS) has been organising the biennial Business Management Conference (BMC) for nearly a decade now. In 2018, the College will host the Fifth BMC from Thursday 23 August to Friday 24 August at Protea Hotel Edward located along Durban's popular beachfront, the Golden Mile. The theme of the conference is: "African Cities of the Future: Management and Legal Solutions."
African Cities
African cities face an array of problems ranging from poverty to high income inequalities, rising unemployment and growing rural-urban migration, among others. These problems have led to an increase in slums, poor sanitation, ill health, declining quality of life, violent conflict, and homelessness. Despite these problems, there are several African cities that are among the most developed metropolitans in the world and many more that are growing rapidly, catching-up with the frontrunners.
"Mining towns like Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Tete in northern Mozambique are reportedly the fastest growing economic nodes on the continent. But apart from the virtues of growth, they carry the true characteristics of a frontier town, including significant social problems and stubbornly high levels of poverty," KPMG (2018).
Cape Town in South Africa was named the best place to visit in the world by both The New York Times and The Telegraph in 2014. The City's well developed infrastructure is also regarded by many as the best in Africa. In 2018, however, Cape Town is failing to cope with the effects of drought. It has been projected that the City's taps will run dry from July 9, 2018 (popularly known as Day Zero) (February 2018 estimate). According to the South African Weather Service, 2015 and 2016 were the driest seasons in Cape Town since 1921 and the situation worsened the following year when the city recorded the driest ever season in its history in 2017. Cape Town is also home to Africa's second largest slum, Khayelitsha, with an estimated population of 400,000.
The water problems, however, are not only confined to Cape Town, but are also prevalent in other African cities. In addition, the water supply problem is not only due to drought but a multiplicity of other factors too. According to Collington and Vezina (2000), even the largest international water enterprises have had to admit that they have found it difficult to respond to demand in squatter areas, as witnessed by the low coverage of piped water networks in African capital cities such as Bamako (Mali), Cotonou (Benin), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania). It is estimated that piped sewerage is but a distant dream for 90% of urban Africans (Collington and Vezina, 2000).
Nairobi in Kenya is regarded as one of the most developed cities in Africa, and certainly the economic hub of East Africa. The city, however, is facing an increasing growth of informal settlements. The city's population has grown over the years from 11,500 inhabitants in 1906 to 3.1 million people in 2009 with more than half the population living in informal settlements and slums occupying less than 1% of Nairobi's area and less than 5% in residential area (Mutisya and Yarime, 2011). Kibera informal settlement in South West Nairobi is known as the largest slum in Africa and the fourth largest in the world after Orangi Town in Karachi (Pakistani), Neza in Mexico City (Mexico) and Dharavi in Mumbai (India) India.
A megacity is conventionally defined as a large urban area with a population in excess of 10 million (Chang, Song and Lu, 2009). According to KPMG (2018), there are only three African cities that can be described as megacities, namely, Cairo, Kinshasa and Lagos. A host of other cities on the continent, including Johannesburg, Luanda, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Casablanca and Khartoum, are expected to become megacities within the foreseeable future.
The Business Management Conference
It is clear that African cities are growing at unprecedented rates. Problems facing these cities may be growing as well. An important question with profound policy implications is: what solutions can be prescribed for the African cities of the future? This is what has motivated the College of Law and Management Studies at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) to organise the Business Management Conference on African cities of the future with particular attention to management and legal solutions to foreseen problems. The conference is expected to attract multidisciplinary academics and practitioners that will present and discuss interdisciplinary research on the envisioned African Cities of the Future. It is expected that sustainable solutions to the challenges facing African cities will be investigated in depth with the objective of effectively making them "the most liveable cities in the world."
Challenges that need to be addressed, include congestion, infrastructure (water, housing, sanitation, and energy), food security, pollution, social disaggregation, unemployment, service delivery, crime, violence, and lawlessness, child and women vulnerability, health issues, environment, and proper urban planning and design, inter alia (University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2017). These challenges, according to the University of KwaZulu-Natal (2017), provide an opportunity for all disciplines to come together to work in an interdisciplinary, multi-disciplinary synergistic approach to find solutions which are unique and indigenous to the continent.
International Partners
The dates for the BMC have been set in sync with the 12th American-African-European (AAE) Summer School in Durban that is scheduled to start on 13 August 2018 and end with the BMC. The summer school is being coordinated by UKZN's School of Management, IT and Governance. It is expected that about 20-30 overseas students and staff attending the Summer School will also attend the conference. Clearly, the foreign contingent will make an important contribution to the international flavour of the multidisciplinary gathering at the conference.

Keeping your insecurities from your past relationship from hurting your current relationship is easier said than done. As human beings, we use our past experiences to help us decide how to act in future situations. This can be helpful for many things but it can also hold us back from really thriving, especially in relationships. For example, if you've been cheated on in the past, you might finding yourself expecting your current partner to cheat as if it's a given which is neither true nor helpful. If you've been hurt in a past relationship, being vulnerable and trusting in your present relationship can be challenging at times. How do you keep your past relationship hurts from spoiling your present relationship?
One important step to helping you overcome your insecurities is to figure out whether it's your insecurities that are contributing to your mistrust of your significant other or whether there are really warning signs present in your current relationship that are leading you to mistrust your significant other.
For example, if you were cheated on in a past relationship, you are probably very focused on noticing any evidence that your current partner might be cheating on you. When they stay late at work, do you find yourself wondering if they are really at work like they say they are? In this case, it is helpful to ask yourself, are these my insecurities whispering doubts in my ear or do I have concrete evidence that something is going on. If your significant other hasn't given you any other reasons to doubt the truth of what they are telling you but you are still doubting, it's very likely that your doubt comes from your insecurities stemming from your past relationships.
Plus, letting your mind continue to wander down the "what if they aren't being faithful" path only makes things worse. When you don't challenge your doubts and allow your insecurities to take over your thoughts, you're likely to find yourself going deeper and deeper into doubts. And when your insecurities take over, you start finding "evidence" for being insecure when there might not be any real merit to your suspicions. This just leaves you feeling more stressed out and less secure about where your relationship stands.
Before your mind jumps to the worst-case scenario, try to take an outsider's perspective and examine the situation. Taking an outsider's perspective is important because it helps you to remove the effects of your past relationships as much as possible when you are examining the situation. It's tricky to do but it will really help you in the long run. Your current significant other isn't the same person as your past significant others. So assuming they are going to react the same way isn't fair to them and you aren't giving them a chance to prove that they are trustworthy.
Remember that no one is perfect and that, just because you hit a few hurdles here and there when communicating with your significant other, doesn't mean that there is something wrong with your relationship. If something really bothers you about a situation with your significant other, bring it up to them in a non-accusatory way. Try using empathy which usually makes discussing difficult topics easier. Don't be afraid to share with your significant other why you think you have these insecurities and work together to come up with a plan to help your insecurities fade to the background.
Finally, it might be helpful to ask yourself why you have these insecurities. What do your past relationships have in common that have contributed to your feelings of insecurities? Did you ignore the warning signs of an unhealthy relationship such as controlling behavior? Identifying why you feel insecure can help you to figure out if your current relationship has any of these warning signs. And, if it doesn't, you can use this to your advantage to fight back against your insecurities when they pop up from time to time.
Sometimes, it's hard to take an outsider's perspective on what is happening in your life. Asking a trusted friend or family member can be helpful. If you think that you might benefit from professional help, you can always seek out the services of a psychotherapist. You can also make a conscious effort to increase the level of trust in your relationship by working to improve your communication with one another, be vulnerable, and invest in your relationship. These changes can take time but the result will be very rewarding.
You deserve to be free from your insecurities and you deserve to be part of a healthy relationship. Don't be afraid to face your fear and commit to the hard work to be more confident in your relationship. You are worth it!

"We all need role models— someone to lead the way and drag others along with them."
Back in 2011, I attended an Ernst & Young "Young Women's Entrepreneur Workshop," and that quote from speaker Avril Henry still resonates with me. She explained that one of the entrepreneur's traits is that "we are there for the long term." We do not give up easily— we are fiercely opportunistic and are forever looking at the next success story. As business owners, success is in our blood. We are attracted to others who share this trait, and they often become our mentors.
I am not sure I fit the conventional mould when it comes to having "mentors" in my life. Instead, I think of those inspirational people from whom I've drawn wisdom, experience, knowledge and life purpose as role models. My mother, in particular, was a role model of mine growing up. She spent much of her
career as a systems analyst for Aspect Computing,
a business Lyndsey Cattermole founded and sold for
US$215 million. When I was at university, Mum said
to me: "If Lyndsey can do it, you can, too." I guess
that's where my entrepreneurial mantra came from,
which has evolved into: "If it is meant to be, it is up
to me."
I am not alone in thinking Lyndsey is one of
Australia's most successful entrepreneurs. At the
age of 25, she founded the largest software and
services business in the country, which went on to
become a major force in Australian information
and communication technology. My mother was
one of Lyndsey's longest-serving employees, and
she would often invite me to company events. I
remember Lyndsey being larger than life— she was
always talking loudly and full of enthusiasm. Most of all, she was engaging. She would give me little gems of wisdom, such as: "study hard, work hard and follow your passions."
Role models are people that you observe from a distance; you learn from them, read what they write and watch their behavior. They are different than mentors. Recently, I have been collecting gems of wisdom from hundreds of role models, most of whom I will never meet. But their words come to me when I need them most, which is especially helpful as an entrepreneur. These role models had an original thought, a vision or a desire to simply do things differently. They share my entrepreneurial spirit, and above all, they inspire me to be a role model for others.
There are hundreds of outstanding role models if we choose to look. If you're seeking one, reach out to me, and I can share a few from my personal collection!

The staff is extraordinary and brings a lot of experience and compassion to their daily interactions with the residents.
Flagstaff, AS (PRWEB) January 26, 2014
Tina Culhane, local Flagstaff LCSW brings nine years of mental health therapy experience to Back2Basics long-term drug and alcohol treatment center.
"Substance abuse can often tear a family apart. When one resident is able to transform his life with recovery it not only positively impacts his life, but also the lives of the friends and family who love him," said Culhane. "I am passionate about being a part of a team whose goal is to do everything we can to assist that transformation."
Culhane joins the ranks of nine person clinical team that has a combined total of over 50 years of experience in the mental health industry – all driven by the niche program that Back2Basics offers.
"I think there are several things that makes Back2Basics different… The length of the program is one of the features that enable individuals to have the time to really work on the psychological issues that may be contributing to their addictive behavior, as well as learn the tools to sustain lifelong recovery," she said. "The staff is extraordinary and brings a lot of experience and compassion to their daily interactions with the residents."
Back2Basics offers a wilderness therapy program known as Outdoor Adventures, which Culhane finds to be complimentary to the therapy for addiction recovery.
"This experience with nature enables the residents to see the world through a different lens, and feel connected to the earth; they have an opportunity to reflect on how much beauty and wonder is out there to be experienced sober," said Culhane.
