It's January, mid January at that. So far this month, I feel like I have a lot of ideas and motivation. I've been reading Chip & Joanna Gaines' book The Magnolia Story. It's truly been inspiring. I like to think that if Joanna and I were to ever meet, we'd be quick friends. I feel like we're a lot alike in the way our minds work. Now, I'm in no way saying I'm as creative or talented as she is, I'm just saying our thought process seems to be alike in ways. I've always wanted my own little (tea) shop, and this month, reading this book has left me inspired and motivated and creatively thinking, which is always a good thing in my books! These are a few things and spaces that I've found to set the mood for my mind-set this month. What's inspired you? What are things that help you get motivated? Hope you enjoy what's inspired me!

Saturday Favorites
I saw The Pioneer Woman's Holiday line came out this week!! Since I love pretty much everything Ree Drummond, I decided to list a few Saturday favorites as we go into November, with Christmas literally around the corner!
The Pioneer Woman's Holiday line I'm pretty sure is my favorite so far. She paired together some really delightful pieces that will work all winter long. Let's start with this beautiful winter tree plates. While they look like Christmas, they also could be used all winter long. I'm so in love with these, look how pretty those Poinsettes are! I'm also in love with the pitcher that matches.
And seriously, who could resist these tins and Charlie in a beanie?!? I just can't handle the cuteness.
Okay okay, if I'm not careful this whole post could turn out to be Pioneer Woman. But it can all be bought at Walmart, or I suppose her new Mercantile she opened in Pawhuska,OK. I can not wait to be able to go visit it for myself.
So moving on…
I ran across this beautiful little mug when I was scrolling through Instagram the other night. I've been dreaming of owning the set ever since. It comes from one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie. I don't get to go shopping there near as often as I'd liked, (we're talking twice a year if I'm lucky!) Don't those gold handles make it look so elegant? Like you're having a fancy tea party or coffee date! I just love the detail.
Speaking of tea cups and Anthropologie, they have some of the cutest tea towels!
And there is no way, in any world that I could pass up this cute Dalmatian tea towel. (I obviously have an illness of thinking I need more kitchen stuff than my kitchen could ever possibly hold. Haha, oh well!)
While I was cruising around the Anthro site, I also ran across these lush faux-fur throws, that I'm prettttttty sure I'm going to need this winter.
Don't they look completely irresistable? I'm obviously ready for cooler weather.
Have I ever mentioned how much I like Kate Spade? Her products are fun and always look classic to me. I'm currently in love with this crossbody handbag, the Cameron Street Margot. I love the size and shape,and just the sleekness of it.
While the Margot is a classy, tailored look, I also love this fun Magic Rabbit in a Hat card case. Isn't it cute? Her Novelty Shop is so fun.
So there it is,some of my Saturday favorites. Kind of a weird array of different stuff, but what else are Saturdays for?
Hope everyone is having a good weekend! What are some of your current favorites?

It's hard not to be cynical about sequels, because more often than not, they're just not necessary. The reason stories have endings is because it's just that: they ended. The story is over and the characters journeys have been completed. Of course, this doesn't stop studios from wanting to make some extra cash off of a familiar name, but it's not cynical all the way down. Sure, the only reason the sequel gets greenlit is because producers see some financial incentive in it, but the team actually making the film may have their hearts and minds in the right place.
In Ralph Breaks the Internet, video game character Wreck-It Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) are living a life of fun and luxury at Litwak's Arcade. Due to Ralph being a bit too good of a friend, he ends up breaking Vanellope's game, putting her and the other characters in peril of being "gameless". So, it's off to the internet, where Ralph and Vanellope search for a part to fix her game, the adventure testing their friendship along the way.
Wreck-It Ralph is one of my favorite animated films of the decade and that's because it had a solid, heartfelt story, while also being propped up by the video game aestehtic. I've been playing video games since I was a child, so the plethora of references and characters made it that much more fun. It helped that it was also a solid film, so when it was revealed Ralph would be surfing the web this time around, I was afraid the video game elements would be lost. Luckily, they're all still intact, especially since a large portion in the middle takes place in an online racing game. With that, you still get all of the references you expect, and even unexpected ones, but the filmmakers never double down too much on what made the first one work. They show restraint when they need to and for the most part, all of the meta jokes are either confined to the background or serve the story in the some way.
The way the internet is explored here is just as crazily creative as the video game worlds last time. You'll see a lot of real life sites you'll recognize, and some fake ones, but again, they're necessary and not too obtrusive. A big part of the marketing was Vanellope going to the Oh My Disney website, where she runs into Stormtroopers and the whole cast of Disney princesses. I thought this would be the worst part, but again, it serves the story in a good way and the joke they paid off with the princesses honestly made me okay with it all. A lot of the meta humor was a bit too obvious and reliant on references, but I was pleased by Disney's restraint. They may love to fawn over themselves while further enslaving the minds of America's youth, but they seem to want to tell a decent story still.
It was great returning to these characters again, with Reilly and Silverman easily slipping back into their roles. It's six years since the first film and their relationship has grown, but it feels like you haven't missed much. That ends up being important to the story, as Vanellope gets tired of her old life and wants to go here separate ways from Ralph. It's a solid father-daughter analogue that mirrors the flying of the coop, and the parent taking whatever desperate means they can to keep that old relationship going. It did make me like Ralph a little less, although I knew what they were going for overall. Maybe I also liked him a bit less since they seemed to really dumb down his character here, but the way it wrapped up was nice. Also, it's impossible not to love the adorable innocence that Reilly plays Ralph with, and the chemistry he has with Silverman is still the highlight of the film.
The animation is just as gorgeous this time around, with even more care put into the even the most minute details, such as threads hanging off Ralph's torn sleeves. It has been six years since the last film, and animation is only improving every day, but it's truly a beautiful film to behold that feels alive, even if the aesthetic is totally cartoony. I felt it didn't hit as hard into the story department, though, especially during the middle portion, where it dragged significantly. When we weren't following Ralph and Vanellope in the first film, we were following some other character, but here, Ralph and Vanellope spend quite a bit of time apart. Since that chemistry isn't there, the events the characters go through don't feel as fun or entertaining, even if they are more emotionally resonant. The last act is stellar, though, getting appreciably weird (relative to Disney) and more creative and nuanced than I was expecting.
Ralph Breaks the Internet could have very well been a case of diminishing returns, but director Phil Johnston and Rich Moore expanded on the original's story and world in a very satisfying way. The internet world is just as creative as the arcade one, the references and fan service aren't too intrusive, and the heart and soul is still there, or arguably even bigger this time around. It's a solid companion piece to the original film, but I think it's best we put these characters to rest. With how it ended, their story has been told.

Technology and Cultural Values: On the Edge of the Third MillenniumOn Sale!
Additional Information
- About the Book
Recent history makes clear that the quantum leaps being made in technology are the leading edge of a groundswell of paradigm shifts taking place in science, politics, economics, social institutions, and the expression of cultural values. Indeed it is the simultaneity and interdependence of these changes occurring in every dimension of human experience and endeavor that makes the present so historically distinctive. The essays gathered here give voice to perspectives on the always improvised relationship between technology and cultural values from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Pacific.

The following two pieces are intended as companions to my guest blog post at Chris Brecheen's Writing about Writing.
Thermonuclear Writing
I set out today to write a humorous blog about the phrase "a real writer" and how much it makes me itch, how counterproductive the concept is, how humans are born to be writers, or storytellers, at least. Then I decided that I was in too much of a troubled mood to write.
I was going to write that my family–my "thermonuclear" family of half brothers and stepsisters and second-cousins-in-law–is full of writers: corporate writers, songwriters, poets, technical writers, independent school magazine writers, newspaper men and women, book authors, cartoonists, and asskicking bloggers (my cousin Elizabeth, for instance).
Even my stepsister's cat blogs on Daily Kos. In my family, being a writer is an opt-out proposition.
When my husband, a software engineer, decided take on a bookwriting project, I thought he had caught the family disease. Then I realized that, after all, I had done as my mother did (twice) and married someone who was a writer in the first place.
And even some of those who are not officially writers still wind up writing, and beautifully. Almost every day on the facebooks, my sister-in-law, a reading teacher, posts some gem about my beautiful, witty, resilient niece (who has autism) and my 8-year-old nephew, an old soul, who is as fun-loving as he is kind.
Then there's my sister-in-law's husband, my dirty rotten younger brother. The tortoise to my hare, he spent his teen years recreationally underachieving and in the middle of college suddenly decided to step on the gas.
He took all the writing courses that I had taken and then some, got better grades than I did, composed (among other things) a heartbreakingly beautiful sestina, and then threw it all over for math. His other character flaws include 20-20 vision, at least until recently, as well as perfect pitch.
OK, there, now, I've done it. I've tricked myself into typing out almost everything I wanted to say. Except for screw it about who is and isn't a real writer. It's not like you get a t-shirt with a big W on it to wear in heaven (although someone did once print up Writer t-shirts in my family).
If you have the least inclination to do so, call yourself a writer. It's good for you to think that way. And don't you dare try to yank that title from anyone else. It's not nice, and more importantly it won't help you with the main thing.
The main thing, of course, is getting the words on the paper in such a way that someone might want to read them. I'm not the first to say so, but the point of wanting to be a Writer is that it motivates you to figure out how to write.
On Resisting the Lists that Matter
1. Two hills that circle like hips around a valley lush with trees.
2. Two little girls in lavender terry cloth dresses. One is drinking a slushy or smoothy of some sort that is the exact same color as the dresses. The other one has a fluorescent green beverage, which matches the color of her socks.
While I was mulling over the rash that I get from the phrase "a real writer," I was searching the web for examples of other expressions that irritate me. And I found one. It was a department headline on a regional blog aggregator: "Lists that Matter"! Like the "real writer" moniker, this heading strikes me as unnecessarily self-inflating. We have all noticed that lists on the internet are more common than ants at a picnic. Like ants, internet lists are a force of nature. Twenty Celebrities Who Peed their Pants in Kindergarten. For reasons unknown, people click on that sort of thing. Like those hardworking little insects, lists are useful. They organize bits of stuff; they get things done. When there are too many of them, it gets annoying. But nobody at the picnic says, "What we need here are some More Important Ants."
I have to admit, though, that if I break out in hives over other writers' promotional strategies, it's because of my own insecurities, my desire to gain attention and recognition through my writing without having to strike a market-oriented, go-getting stance. Thus, in a snit of literary pretension, I wrote the tiny list above, whose appeal is purely sensual. Is it a List that Matters? You be the judge.

My Wi-Fi is slow in MAC
- After upgrading, you may have found that your Wi-Fi is very laggy or cannot stream properly. El Capitan may be struggling with your Wi-Fi settings. Apple has released updates to try and improve this problem, so first check for any updates to OS X and see if you can download a solution. Go to the Apple menu and select Software Update… to see if there are any currently un-installed updates for your system (Yosemite will also remind you about this via alerts).
- If this doesn't work, turn your attention to your router. Check to see if your router needs any firmware updates and download them if available. Visit your router manufacturer website to look for firmware and follow the instructions on their site – you will probably need your router ID number and your username/password for this.
- Reboot your router to see if this solves the problem. Unplug your router completely or use your router reset button for this. Leave the router off for about 30 seconds before restarting it.
- If it does not work, try deleting your old router settings and setting up a new network via El Capitan. Visit your System Preferences, go to Network, select Advanced, and under the Wi-Fi tab deletes your preferred networks, turn your Wi-Fi off, then turn it back on again. Set up a new connection to see if this helps.
- Keep in mind that your Wi-Fi may be experiencing interference. If you have a dual-band router, set it to the 5GHz band on your computer to see if this helps.

When I got up this morning I thought I was destined for a day trawling through papers in chambers.  All very relaxing.  No worries at all.  Until that was, I arrived in chambers to be confronted by HeadClerk looking particularly serious.
вАШMr BabyBarista.¬† I need you to get over to court 6 over the road in twenty minutes.¬† Million pound business dispute.¬† Just need you to hold the fort for RackItUp.вАЩ
Hold the fort?  Oh, the art of the understatement.  I got to court six at ten in the morning with no instructions or any particular idea what the case may even be about.  I rang HeadClerk and asked where I might find RackItUp.
вАШWell, thatвАЩs a good question Mr BabyBarista.вАЩ¬† He paused.¬† вАШYou see, he has a case in court 92 and another in court 20.¬† Oh, and then letвАЩs see.¬† ThereвАЩs another in court 56.вАЩ¬† He paused again.¬† вАШThatвАЩs in addition to yours.вАЩ
Now donвАЩt get me wrong.¬† IвАЩd already heard about RackItUpвАЩs notorious money-making scheme whereby he gets juniors to do all the work and he just turns up for an hour each day on each of his cases, shows his faces, makes a point of looking deep in consultation with his junior and then dashing off to his next case.¬† It all tends to work quite smoothly on the whole.¬† Unless, that is, one of the juniors is ill.¬† ThatвАЩs when the QC should be there to step in.¬† Unless that is youвАЩre RackItUp and youвАЩre already juggling too many cases.¬† ThatвАЩs precisely what happened this morning when his junior in one case called in ill and left a huge gaping hole in his scheme to be filled by a BabyBarista who was completely out of his depth.
When I finally got hold of RackItUp, rushing between two of his courts, all he said was,
вАШDonвАЩt worry BabyB.¬† All youвАЩll have to do today is to sit tight whilst the other side cross-examine our witness.¬† Just keep a good note.¬† YouвАЩll be alright.вАЩ
Which would have been okay were it not for the fact that my opponent stopped his cross-examination mid-morning.  The judge knew exactly what was going on and was clearly not amused. I asked for an adjournment in order that I might consult with RackItUp.
вАШMr BabyBarista.¬† Either you are prepared for this case which would mean that such an adjournment would be unnecessary.вАЩ¬† He peered at me over his glasses and then continued, вАШOr you are not sufficiently prepared in which case you would have been in breach of the Code of Conduct by accepting the instructions.вАЩ¬† He looked at me and smiled, a cruel, smug kind of smile which said everything.¬† I was skewered.
I stood up and tried to buy some time before my career came crashing to a premature end.
вАШEr, My Lord. Er, if it pleases the court.¬† Er.вАЩ
вАШYes, Mr BabyBarista.¬† What is it to be.вАЩ
I stumbled on a little more before my solicitor tapped me on the shoulder.¬† I turned around and he handed me a note which said, вАШNo further questions.¬† Call the next witness Mr James.вАЩ
вАШEr, My Lord, I have no further questions from this witness.¬† Unless you have any questions My Lord, I would like to call the next witness Mr James.вАЩ
Given that I knew absolutely nothing about the case whatsoever, I donвАЩt know how I even managed to get through to lunch given that my opponent was capitalising on my difficulties by keeping his own questions to a minimum.¬† To make matters worse, all that I got from RackItUp at lunchtime when I told him precisely where he could stick his case as far as the afternoon was concerned was,
вАШThereвАЩs the spirit BabyB.¬† I knew I could rely on you.¬† IвАЩll take it from here.¬† Tally ho!вАЩ
My fee for the day:¬† ¬£100.¬† RackItUpвАЩs combined fees for the day with ¬£3,000 refreshers on each case:¬† ¬£12,000.

… which is proof there's a crap solicitor on the scene. I'd be straight to the QC and refusing to pay his refresher for the day (and a lot less on the others, too).
And threaten to shop him to the Bar Council if he quibbled.
Abigail - December 12, 2007
All goes to show that you do not get paid for the level of misery, but for the value you can add to the case. And young barristers have to cope with miserific or difficult situations.
Why did the instructing solicitor tolerate his client paying £3000 for a barrister who was not there?
Sarah - December 12, 2007
I can just imagine the scene…. great story BabyB.

Why So Many People Are Choosing to Play Poker on the Internet
It's easy to see that card games are some of the most popular things that people will do to enjoy themselves. There is a simplicity to being able to pull out a deck of cards whenever you want that you can't get with a number of much more involved activities. It's also the case that you can very quickly start a card game when you have a couple of minutes with other people.
One of the most popular of all the cards games that are out there will be poker. The truth is that poker is a game that involves both a heavy amount of strategy and quite a lot of luck in order to be successful. Even with all of this chance involved, those who have the right kinds of strategies will find themselves likely to be the final winner. You're going to find that poker is a game that's now played by people everywhere in the world. In the article below, we'll go over a few things you should know about your options for playing poker on the internet.
The key thing you'll need to consider when you're dealing with the search for the right poker room will be how much money you want to spend and potentially win when you're playing. Even though people may start out by thinking that they just want to be able to play the games for free, there usually comes a point where you'll need to consider whether the games will be much more fun with higher stakes. It should end up being a lot easier to find the best poker room for yourself when you've been able to learn the going rates on each site.

Mission Trips
At Haitian Bethany Baptist Church, mission is our priority. In an effort to fulfill the biblical mandate to reach the end of the world for Christ, each year a group of trained missionaries is commissioned by the church to go out and make disciples of all nations. Over the past seven years, the Holy Spirit has led them to several countries such as: Dominican Republic, The Bahamas, Brazil, The Turks and Caicos, and Cuba.
This year the Lord has sent the missionaries to Haiti. During the last 10 days of July, we will take the gospel to our compatriots. Pray for us as we seek God's direction and the clarity of our assignments.

It's only the first episode, and the season is already starting to ramp up the tension.
"Just because you're a woke superhero doesn't mean you have to be a broke superhero."
We've fast-forwarded to after Luke has been released from Seagate Prison. Even after Luke's return, Harlem is still feeling the effects of his battles from Season One, both positive and negative. Pop's Barber Shop has become a landmark in Harlem, but now the insurance on the building has doubled so Luke will have to move the shop. Misty is learning to move on after her injury, but the trauma and loss of limb still affects her greatly, both physically and emotionally. (The constant ableist jokes throughout the episode don't help, I'm sure.) Luke himself has had a new problem pop up in the form of his father.
Whew! Props to the actor who plays Luke's father, because his personality pisses me right off. He's a pastor who calls out arrogance while practicing his sermon, but is clearly arrogant himself. Everything we've seen of him oozes hypocrisy which, growing up in the Bible Belt, is something I've seen way too often. His character is interesting; I really wanna see what his deal is, but I also wanna deck him in the face.
I think it's very interesting that there's a discussion about whether Luke should accept a sponsorship for all his superheroing. In my opinion, why shouldn't he? Now that the Judas Bullet is common knowledge among the baddies, he really is risking his life for Harlem. Luke wants to keep his focus on protecting Harlem, but Bobby says he should get something for his efforts, like I quoted at the beginning. Black people tend to be the backbone of social movements, all for no reward, and a lot of the time, no credit. Yes, you know MLK and Malcolm X and Rosa Parks, but they didn't do it alone. Name another important figure in the Civil Rights movement. Go on.
Meanwhile, Mariah's trying to go legit, but it's hard to tell by her actions. Even while trying to clean up her family's name, she still tries to kill Luke Cage and threatens Claire. Also, a new villain who goes by Bushmaster is hoping to make a move in taking over Brooklyn. We find out that he's bulletproof as well, immediately setting him up on an inevitable collision course with Luke.
This first episode has opened up a ton of storylines that I can't wait to see more of. I'm very excited!
…Just…not excited enough to dab. Can we not do that again, Luke? Thanks.
Luke Cage is available now on Netflix. Kiara can be reached on Twitter @DJPrincessK and her webcomic can be found at http://www.electricrosecomic.com/.

Small businesses are highly innovative, using their inherent flexibility and agility to exploit social media and web enabled business models. Yet why are so many still running the business on spreadsheets?
Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy – not least the huge number of start-ups since 2000. Many are highly innovative, using their inherent flexibility and agility to exploit social media and web enabled business models to expand into new areas and rapidly grasp new opportunities. Yet why are so many running the business on spread sheets?
For the vast majority of office based individuals, the spread sheet has become the default location for any information – from top prospects and customers to hot leads and product offers. This is vital business information – information that needs to be both accurate and available to across the company. Instead, spread sheets are distributed across shared drives, individual laptops and PCs, creating islands of data that require time and huge manual effort to consolidate into meaningful, useful information. Even worse, spread sheets are riddled with errors – 88% of all spread sheets include errors and almost one in five large businesses have suffered financial losses as a result of errors in spread sheets.¹
The business impact is clear: with no central place to store information, individuals or teams report information separately or base their reports on out-of-date information; managers spend far too long consolidating and updating spread sheets to get a complete business overview; while real time collaboration and co-operation is extremely difficult.
Given the positive economic outlook and burgeoning opportunities, business agility is now essential. Sales Managers simply do not have time to waste consolidating multiple spread sheets or identifying errors. But in a spread sheet dominated workplace what is the alternative?
The answer, perhaps surprisingly to some, is CRM. Replacing spread sheets with a single source of customer information within the CRM can improve every aspect of the business. Employees can collaborate effectively, all working on the same source of information. Sales Managers automatically have access to a single source of all potential leads, enabling activity to be prioritised and ensuring top opportunities are never missed. With a clearly visible sales process, all actions and activities – including current status and next steps – are held centrally, enabling anyone in the business to respond fast if required.
Critically, ditching spread sheets for CRM enables a company to reduce costs – with organisations regaining upwards of 15 days each month currently spent compiling reports from multiple spread sheets. Just consider how much more effective, productive and revenue generating sales and marketing teams could become with that extra time.
Habits, good and bad, are hard to break – but the fact that spread sheets have become so ingrained in day to day business activity does not mean they are the best way to store or share information. When a company could become so much more productive, collaborative and agile – isn't it time to reconsider that reliance on spread sheets?

In the latest edition of Californians and the Environment, the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) revealed that most of the state opposes nuclear energy. The sentiment is shared across every demographic surveyed by the PPIC -- political preference, region, age, gender, and ethnicity.
The question appeared:
"Do you favor or oppose the following proposal -- building more nuclear power plants at this time?"Credit: PPIC.org
Among the several regions in California
Inland Empire residents (73%) are the most opposed, followed by residents in Los Angeles (66%), the Central Valley (64%), the San Francisco Bay Area (60%), and Orange/San Diego (58%). Women (72%) are much more likely than men (54%) to oppose building more nuclear plants. Across racial/ethnic groups, blacks (80%) are much more likely than Latinos (68%), whites (60%), and Asians (59%) to be opposed. Lower- (68%) and middle income (65%) residents are more opposed than upper-income residents (55%).
Today's feelings towards nuclear energy are reflective of public opinion just after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan. The adamant opposition also follows the currently operational Diablo Canyon plant and the recently closed San Onofre plant.
Diablo Canyon has been met with protests from activist groups in the San Luis Obispo area like Mothers for Peace and Greenpeace. Despite the calls for its closure, the plant generates $3 billion in total economic and is an economic necessity in the San Luis Obispo region. Diablo Canyon's operational license expires in 2024 and 2025, and has experienced trouble conducting regional safety and seismic tests.
San Onofre's closure in June was celebrated by environmental activist groups, but the plant is said to have helped reduce CO2 emissions by 8 million metric tons a year. In addition to the stated environmental impact, energy prices in Southern California have increased at a faster rate -- 12 percent more -- than the rest of the state.
Nuclear energy is a carbon-free source, and despite strong opposition, a record-high of Californians are concerned about climate change. The PPIC survey shows that 85 percent of all adults say the effects of climate change have either begun or will begin in the near future. PPIC also shows a majority across the political spectrum favor federal assistance in developing wind, solar, hydro energy technology.
Concerns about nuclear waste storage and operational safety linger in the minds of most Californians. The state has a moratorium on new nuclear projects until a permanent waste disposal method is developed. Until then, Diablo Canyon will remain to be the only operational nuclear plant in California.

Green, rock, pop or pure are the inspirations characterising a Silverfield vacation. Iconic and distinctive elements, clean, original geometries organised in lightweight structures, declined in various sizes, materials and accessories that distinguish the styles of the accommodation facilities: a tribute to nature and the beauty of its shapes and colours. All interpreted in a contemporary key with creativity and irony - focussing on simplicity. The Silverfield accommodation facilities are located in an area of the Camping site where the vegetation is denser and close to the pathways leading to the beach.
The Silverfield homes are located in very large areas fitted with an outdoor deck umbrella, table, chairs and deck chairs. They accommodate 3 people (1 double bed and 1 camp bed) and 4 people (family caravan: 1 double bed + 1 double sofa bed).
4 caravans for 2 adults + 1 or 2 children who share the double bed or a camp bed that may be added. 4 family caravans for 4 people (adults or children) sleeping in the double bed and in the double sofa bed.

America Channel Adds IPTV Carriage
The America Channel, which is seeking carriage on multichannel video providers for a 2006 launch, has struck a deal for telco carriage with Eagle Broadband for its IPTV service.
Channel CEO Doron Gorshein said it was the seventh PTV/telco video deal the channel has done, which he says represents close to 90% of the telco video market.
The emphasis on that telco coverage is no accident. Gorshein has been very vocal on the issue of cable carriage, including testifying in Washington on the telco's receptiveness versus the trouble he has had, as a start-up independent unaffiliated with one of the major cable system operators, of getting carriage for his channel.
America Channel is a charter member of a new trade group, the Association of Independent Television Programming Networks, which is lobbying for legislative and regulatory help in getting carriage.

Blog: Five Big Takeaways from the "Getting the Most out of the AM-PAC" Workshop
How the experts advise rehab providers get started collecting outcomes
On April 5, almost 90 people gathered on the campus of Boston University for the "Getting the Most Out of the AM-PAC: Workshop for Clinical Users" event. The focus of the day was how rehab providers could use the AM-PAC™ to develop an outcomes program. Speakers ranged from academic researchers to clinical leaders. Throughout the day, best practice sharing was clearly on center stage.
Much of the day heavily focused on the question: "How can a rehab organization start and pursue a meaningful outcomes program?"
As an attendee, I made the following observations:
Implementing outcomes is all about change management
Every organization is perfectly structured to get the results it is currently getting. Introducing an outcomes program necessarily means new results, and that implies change. A significant portion of the discussion centered around how outcomes can provide new insights and, therefore, require changes in behavior and focus. This is a significant challenge to any program, but it's one that leaders must take seriously to achieve success.
An outcomes program requires building alliances across many disciplines
Rehab leaders alone can't force it to happen. Outcomes touch many disciplines, from therapies to case management to nursing and even physicians. Each of these disciplines will ultimately need its own voice in the design and implementation of the program. Further, data collection will be dependent upon IT and informatics, so the prudent strategy will be to engage a broad array of stakeholders to participate and contribute to the effort.
Start by asking questions
These questions will identify the necessary data to start collecting in pursuit of the program. The questions will engage stakeholders to support the process and become vested in the results. Don't be surprised if the first set of answers only leads to more questions. This is the process of critical inquiry.
Don't try to map out the entire process
Ask the first question and see what the data says. As it leads to more questions, the process may take surprising turns that open value points that were previously hidden from sight. Whether it is waste in the system that suddenly becomes obvious or an opportunity for workflow streamlining, it's not possible to know from the outset what opportunities may present to improve your current process.
Once you build an expectation for data, others will tend to look to you
You don't need to convince the entire organization to follow your lead. As you start to collect data and present the findings you are making, others will notice that you're leading the pack. Naturally, others will want to leverage the data you have been collecting and an organizational standard may emerge because it's easier to build onto it rather than start over every time a new question comes up.
The AM-PAC, as an activity measure, is uniquely positioned to anchor a post-acute care outcomes strategy. Because it is not linked specifically to a diagnosis or body part, it can be used in a broad range of applications, especially in post-acute care. This supports the strategic points above and makes the AM-PAC functional in a wide range of applications.
A primary focus of discussion during the conference was on the AM-PAC in acute care rehab. But it was also shown as viable in home health and skilled nursing examples presented by panelists.
A significant number of conference attendees seemed interested in how to jump start the AM-PAC in their own organization. Many of the questions posed to the experts were oriented in understanding how to start up meaningful outcomes programs in participating organizations. This seems to be a point of interest across the industry and one that bears investigation and inquiry.

Some people have the worst luck.
Kingsley Coman is developing well at Bayern Munich and had a very strong chance of becoming a star of the World Cup 2018 in the summer.
The French squad contains a galaxy of established superstars and unbelievably talented youngsters playing across Europe and every one of them will be fighting for a spot on the plane.
CLAIM YOUR FREE £20 BET Sun Bets have this brilliant offer when you sign up and bet a fiver
Sadly, it looks like Coman's chances of making the France World Cup squad have just gone up in a ball of flames after Bayern Munich's match against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.
Bayern drew 0-0 at the Allianz Arena, which ended their league winning streak, but less than 15 minutes after coming on as a substitute Coman was left on the floor clutching his ankle.
A lengthy stoppage for treatment ensued and he was forced to play on until the end with Jupp Heynckes already having made all three substitutions.
PLAY DREAM TEAM WEEKENDER Pick seven players to win £5k!
The Bayern manager said the injury wasn't too bad initially but now it has been reported that Coman will be out for two months after rupturing a ligament in his ankle and undergoing surgery on Monday.
With such fierce competition for a place in Didier Deschamps' squad for the summer, sitting on the bench for two crucial months in the final games in Europe and domestic leagues could spell the end of Coman's chances.
He is already competing against the likes of Thomas Lemar, Anthony Martial, Nabil Fekir, Ousmane Dembele and Dmitri Payet for a spot in the front three.
And now to have to sit out and watch as they all do their best to impress the national manager will be heartbreaking for Bayern's young star.
Let's hope he can get fit and get himself on that plane.

Rukaland changes with the seasons. In winter, in addition to the sauna, you can also enjoy spending time with reindeer, huskies and engaging in different fast-paced activities. In spring, there is ice fishing on the sunny Lake Kitka. Fishing trips are the most popular activity in summer, while autumn visitors are keen to go to the forest. Rukaland offers a wide variety of experiences, and the day's programme will always be planned with our visitors' wishes in mind.
Reindeer farm
Winter/spring activity
Rukaland was originally a reindeer farm, and reindeer husbandry has been practiced here already for five generations. That's why reindeer have a special status at Rukaland, and life on the farm still follows the reindeer's yearly cycles. If you happen to arrive at Rukaland at the beginning of the reindeer year, in May, you may witness the birth of reindeer calves. On the other hand, in autumn, you may hear how the deer are rattling their antlers, and in winter, you can see how the reindeer are brought back home. Now is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience reindeer feeding or reindeer rides!
Husky ride
Winter/spring activity
Huskies, the Arctic heroes of the North, are also included in Rukaland's winter and spring experiences. Known as sled dogs, huskies ensure that your experience day will entail plenty of quick turns and rapidly changing landscapes. Husky safari route selection is sure to include something suitable for everyone, and the length of the programme is always planned according to our visitors' preferences. You can also become more acquainted with huskies at a husky farm, which is a fun way of getting to know the dogs' daily routines and habits.
Winter fishing
Winter activity
Anyone who's ever held an ice fishing rod in their hand knows that the best way to spend a sunny winter's day is to get out on a lake and try to catch fish. The ice of the snow-covered Lake Kitka starts right next to Rukaland, with plenty of fish to catch. In addition to a fishing rod, you can also try to catch fish with nets and seines. Picture an experience day with a midday fishing trip, a long sauna evening and dinner at a wilderness restaurant. This is as good as it gets!
Snowmobile safari
Winter activity
There are heaps of snowmobile trails around Kuusamo, sure to include a suitable option for your level of experience. Test your skills on zig-zagging forest trails, see how fast you can go on a lake, or experience the exotic wilderness of the spectacular scenery in Salla, for example. After a safari day, you can share your experiences in the heat of a luxury sauna, and make toasts while fine dining at a wilderness restaurant.
Winter activity
A peace-loving nature friend can best enjoy the true beauty of a wintery forest on a snowshoeing trail. Enjoy walking on the snow, experiencing the life in a remote forest while treading soundlessly. On such a peaceful journey, you will feel the deepest essence of a Nordic forest, hearing its sounds, smelling its smells and seeing all its beautiful details. When you go snowshoeing, it's not about the destination but the journey itself.
Northern lights spotting
Winter activity
Rukaland is situated far away from the commotion of the world and the urban seas of artificial lights. When the sun has set, the Nordic nature's own lights carnival begins. Thousands of stars sparkle in the dark sky, and you can also often witness the spectacularly magical dance of the Northern lights. With a telescope, you can admire the show from the best seat.
Summer/autumn activity
Known for its large fish stock, Kitkajärvi is every fishing enthusiast's experience destination number one every summer and autumn. Here, you can try whether you can hook up some vendace or a wild salmon. You might also catch whitefish, grayling, pike or perch. The fishing season at Kitka lasts throughout the summer, and the catches will get bigger towards autumn. You can try fishing with nets, trolling or fish traps. You can enjoy the catch of the day at a fish feast.

After a period of great success between 1970 and 2000, the arcade games are currently losing popularity. However, their decline in Japan is not as visible as in the Western countries, arcade gaming is still a multi-billion dollar industry and large amusement arcades can be found everywhere in Japan.
I was always attracted by these joyful halls, filled with roars of laughter and loud music, and even if I'm not a gamer, I enjoy visiting them from time to time. Photographed here is Taiko no Tatsujin, an arcade machine that simulates a Taiko drum, and I remember being fascinated by the skills of the young player…

Oh the joys, It's Monday again…
Today I thought I'd talk you through something that I am SO surprised I haven't mentioned before… my rings. Something I'm so obsessed with, I have no idea why I haven't written about them before.
Firstly a bit of a back story. I've always loved a good accessory. Necklaces I just feel extenuate my double chins, bracelets I find uncomfortable so that only leaves rings. Now, rings on chubby fingers can be risky, so I spend ages picking the perfect one! I now wear 4 of the buggers… So just call me the Lord Of The Rings!
Let's break it down…
My very favourite ring, the ring that never leaves my finger and the ring that cost me an absolute arm and a leg. This ring is from Tiffany and I bought this while I was over in America last year. It was around the time I got a promotion at work so I decided that I would treat myself.
I spent hours trawling the internet and mooching in the shops & malls until it was actually my Dad that said "Why don't you try in there?" and pointed into the Tiffany store. I reluctantly went in and half an hour later I leave the store with an empty pocket and an amazing new piece of jewellery.
This is the most expensive piece of jewellery I have ever bought and have never looked back!
So these rings (look closely, there's actually two) are again, rings that never leave my finger. The plain band on the bottom is one I have had for years. I wanted something very plain to pair with a more detailed ring. For years I paired it with a ring my best friend, Kate bought me, but have very recently changed it over to this one.
I again trawled the internet and came across this perfect ring. It's actually a women's ring from ASOS but once it's on my (not so) manly hands, you'll never know.
I was actually inspired to buy this ring because of Estee Lalonde. She has a lover of rings as well and has one very similar, but in gold. I'm such a fan girl!!
Last and kind of least, this plain chunky band.
The reason I say this is my least favourite, is because it's probably the most boring one. I've wanted a ring to wear on my index finger for a while now, but having chubby fingers, It's hard to find one that doesn't look like it's cutting off the circulation to my finger.
This one I got on ASOS (yes, it's a man's ring) at the same time as the ring above. I wear these two on the same hand and feel they match each other perfectly.
Having the juxtaposition of quite detailed and unusual rings, paired with something quite plain and clean is a look that I am loving.
I'm one of those annoying people who 'talks with their hands', so I do get quite a few people mentioning my rings. They're like my identity!
So there you have it, a look into my bling'd up hands!
Now it's time to crack on with the week, grab Monday by the horns and try and procrastinate as little as possible.
I will see you back here, at the same time on Wednesday!

Amber Waves is getting to know the brewers who will be in attendance in a series called Who's the Brew. As we get ready for the second annual Amber Waves Brewfest, Jim Estry of Saint John Malt Brothers (center in photo) was nice enough to let us steal some time. Their motto is "Great Beer, Great Food & Great Service" and we have yet to meet someone who says otherwise!
Picture from Left to Right – Dave Witt (Co-Founder), Jim Estry (President and co-founder), Dan Cox – (Co-Founder and VP)
Thanks for taking the time to do this Jim. Tell us a little bit about the St. John Malt Brothers & how long SJMB has been a part of the Northwest Indiana craft beer scene.
SJMB has been in business a little over 4 years now and began with 3 neighbors sitting around a fire pit drinking craft beer and thinking, "We should get involved with this business"
How many taps in your tasting room? Any guest taps or are they all yours?
Currently 20 taps, all ours.
Any particular beer your currently very happy with? Any favoritism towards a specific batch?
Tripel Dog Dare (Belgian Tripel), 400ft east IPA, Game Over Man, Kolsch. Our Oktoberfest is by far the best Oktoberfest brewed in the region.
For more information and a complete list of SJMB's beer click here.
I have memories of when Kennywood was run out of a basement before the shop on the Crown Point square. Then it moved again to St. John. How was St. John Malt Brothers connected to Kennywood Brew Supply?
Shortly before we opened our Brewery, Bob Heinlein came to me and offered to sell Kennywood to us as he was relocating, it was a nice little business for us, but it took up way too much of our time and pulled us away from perfecting our craft as a brewery. Subsequently, we made the decision to liquidate our inventory and focus on the brewery.
Do you have any advice for home brewers?
Spend all the time you would have used in brewing to visit the local breweries in this area. Northwest Indiana is producing some outstanding brews and is rapidly becoming a destination area for craft brew enthusiast.
You now offer a full menu in the eatery, what seems to be the local favorite? Any signature dishes?
Instead of a breadbasket we provide hushpuppies that are rapidly becoming iconic to the area. We also offer several eclectic dishes that can be found nowhere else, including our "Pint of Bacon", Savory chicken and waffles, Smoked prime rib cheesesteak sandwiches, fried catfish, as well as several others.
Have you brewed any collaborations? Is there a specific craft brewer you'd jump at the chance to collaborate with?
We have collabed with Crown Brewing and would like to team up with several others but just don't have the time.
What does the future hold for St. John Malt Brothers?
We are currently moving our brewery to a new much larger location, so we can ad more fermentation capacity. Our restaurant will also be moving to a different location here in SJ in the new development. We have applied for a second brewers permit so we can set up a pilot system in the new restaurant.
We're looking forward to the new space & definitely looking forward to having you out at Amber Waves this August.

Public servants brace for pension shock
Up to half a million retired public servants could be kicked off the age pension under the looming shake-up of the nation's superannuation tax system, a leading expert says.
A government move within months against the generous tax breaks on retirement savings looks inevitable and speculation has begun that the nation's army of retired state and federal government workers will not escape the pain.
But groups representing public sector retirees have reacted angrily to suggestions they are enjoying privileges denied to former private sector workers.
Most retired state and federal public are on lifetime-indexed pensions after contributing throughout their working lives to super schemes that are now closed off to new members.
The pensions are not included in the asset tests for the aged pension despite the Coalition's beefing up the test rules this year in a move that is thought to have taken the pension away from about 300,000 retirees.
But according to leading superannuation adviser Daryl Dixon and News Ltd economics writer Robert Gottliebsen, retired public servants have good reason to worry too.
Both men say that if the valuable indexed pensions were treated as assets, as they would be if they were purchased in the private sector, then hundreds of thousands of public sector retirees would lose access to their Centrelink age pensions.
But retirees groups says the idea is "sensational and superficial," does not take into account key differences between public sector pensions and privately purchased annuities and misses other key facts too.
Mr Dixon told Fairfax Media that having the same rules for private and public pensions would be fair.
"Treasury and Finance have never brought this to the attention to the government," the veteran investment adviser said.
"But if they wanted to be fair, they would have had the same rules.
"If I purchased an annuity from Challenger, whatever I used to purchase the annuity is counted as an asset.
"If I purchase an asset from the Public Service Superannuation Scheme, the only thing they [the government] will assess is the pension I get from the PSS and they ignore the asset.
"The asset test is much tougher than the income test that and that allows a former public servants to have a pension and a beach home.
"If you added the value of their pension to the value of their beach home, they wouldn't get a part age pension, but now they do get a part age pension so it really is a huge difference in treatment."
But Annette Barbetti, federal president of the Australian Council of Public Sector Retiree Organisations, said the a public sector indexed pension was nothing like a privately purchased annuity for several key reasons.
"Unlike most private sector superannuation pensioners, retired public servants cannot neither access the notional assets underlying their pensions nor leave them to their children," Ms Barbetti said.
"The defined benefit pensions of retired Commonwealth public servants are taxed, with a 10 per cent tax offset, not a rebate, and consequently any other income is taxed at their marginal tax rate.
"There is now a 10 per cent cap on the proportion of a defined benefit pension that can be excluded from the age pension income test."

Sitting beside me was a long legged man in cowboy boots. He fiddled with the cowboy hat in his lap. I bumped him as I got settled, he smiled when I apologized. I sensed this man was a talker, but I so wanted to read. I hurried to get started on my book.
I must have reread the same paragraph 4 times because I was so distracted by his sniffling. Why did I have to be seated by someone with a cold? Why doesn't he have a Kleenex? Is he expecting me to offer him one? I shrunk tinier in my seat as he fidgeted and fumbled. Was he wiping his nose on his sleeve?
Then I reached for my purse and offered him a tissue. He made full eye contact as he thanked me and I could suddenly see his eyes were watery. "I'm sorry." The cowboy apologized. "I'm sort of in a state. I'm heading to my grandmother's funeral." The moment he uttered those words, the image I had of this big, tough guy just melted.
My book stayed closed on my lap for the rest of the flight, while my new friend told me stories about his grandmother. I don't remember the details, I just remember how touched I was to witness this change in character. He hadn't changed, but my view of him had.
Thanks, Cowboy Friend.
You taught me a lesson about first impressions. I saw your boots and hat and expected you to be an armrest hog at the very least. You became a person I never expected. You were kind and thoughtful and best of all you didn't try to hide your vulnerability. When my grandmother died a few years later, I thought of you. You must have been a wonderful grandson!

Next year will be one of the most significant in the history of the South African telecoms market — possibly on par with 1994 when the two initial mobile operators surfaced. And it can't get here fast enough.
So, what are we in for (I think)?
Let's start with Telkom. It's fairly widely known that Telkom is in talks that will result in radical changes. The fixed-line business will be acquired by MTN, and its stake in Vodacom will be sold to Vodafone. MTN will then be able to use Telkom's fixed-line expertise to service enterprise customers in South Africa (instead of having to relay its own infrastructure), and probably more importantly, to build out better infrastructure in Africa.
I've seen a number of "Fibre access in eight weeks" billboards around Sandton, so these are the first signs of life after the much-discussed fibre "pipe" that MTN has laid between Rosebank and Sandton.
There is also the option to start aggressively pushing MTN's products to the Telkom fixed-line base. The glaring omission is MTN's content and media strategy. It may well have chosen not to go there, but with Vodacom and Telkom moving aggressively into that space, I wonder what MTN's response will be? HCI/e.tv, Primedia, Kagiso, anyone, want to be a little yellow? Maybe not.
Standard Bank's deal with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is a sign that the Chinese want to do more in Africa. There have been rumours about China Mobile being interested in MTN. That would be a colossal mobile and fixed-line operation in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Stranger things have happened. And their colour is yellow.
Telkom Media will probably remain an independent entity. If it didn't and MTN went for the quad-play of mobile, fixed-line, broadband and broadcast television services, it will have been an interesting journey — born from within MultiChoice (MIH/Naspers) and ending up potentially being its biggest direct competitor.
Vodacom will list separately from Telkom and be free to challenge MTN head-on in Africa once the shareholding favours Vodafone. Access to Vodafone's infrastructure, balance sheet and content will make it stronger than being restricted by the Telkom shareholding.
This leaves Vodacom to launch Vodacom Media — an entertainment, content (mobile radio and TV) and advertising play that is built to use the broadband capacity in Vodacom's 3G/HSDPA network. We may even see closer ties between Vodacom and MultiChoice/Naspers. They have content distribution deals as well as retail-package distribution deals. It seems that they have a stronger relationship than MTN does with MultiChoice. Anyway, MTN may be in the same playpen as Telkom Media.
Enter iBurst. Vodacom already has a 25,1% stake in iBurst. There is already joint marketing, and iBurst has definitely benefited from Vodacom's involvement — its marketing, distribution channel and technical resources (especially in the SMTP department) have made iBurst a contender as a "dial-up" replacement. The jewel in iBurst's crown is its WiMAX license. This goes nicely into having high-speed, pervasive connectivity that the likes of Vodacom Media will want. Will iBurst/WBS end up being swallowed entirely by Vodacom in an equity deal for Blue Label Investments at the time of the Vodacom listing? Time will tell.
Neotel already has enterprise customers and is surely to launch its consumer offering in 2008. This will be a serious contender for consumers and small businesses that have given up on Telkom installation delays, as well as those who will move to Neotel on principle. There are already Neotel fan groups on Facebook. The demand is there; now for the delivery.
A key project for Neotel will be its involvement in Seacom, the new undersea cable on Africa's eastern seaboard that they will manage in South Africa. An aside — it's landing at Mtunzini in KwaZulu-Natal. I am from Zululand, and know that this will be Mtunzini's crowning glory! Move over, sugar barons, here come the nerds.
I have changed my thoughts about Cell C and its "broadband strategy". It has stated that it will not compete in the 3G/HSDPA space, but will stick to Edge (enhanced data over GSM). Initially I thought this was suicidal. However, it may just be what the majority of South Africa needs. By providing a high-quality network (with a steady 100kb throughput), and by getting really inexpensive Edge modems into the country, its data offering can service users that need email and basic internet access. The 3G/HSDPA tub-thumping, entertainment-rich, high-speed connectivity may just be overkill for many.
To illustrate the point. I was in rural Mpumalanga recently and needed to do some work on my laptop. I have SIM cards from each of the networks. The only one that gave a decent signal and allowed decent (stable and steady) throughput was Cell C's Edge network. Suddenly high-speed broadband wasn't so clever any more.
As I've stated before, I think that the MyWireless customer base will be sold to someone. If not Sentech as a whole (MTN may want Sentech's WiMAX licence), then something has got to give when considering MyWireless. It was first to market, but certainly didn't take advantage of that position. Not sure I know anyone that uses it any more.
On the device side, iPhone version two and the 3G version will come as a welcome improvement. But more importantly, the Android platform from Google and its Open Handset Alliance will appear (on phones) in the middle of 2008. As a new mobile OS, it is sure to challenge Symbian et al.
While we are talking about Google — it has arrived in South Africa and is making all the right noises about lobbying for more, better, cheaper broadband access. Go Google.
All in all — we will get more choice, better handsets, more throughput, better coverage and, hopefully, lower prices. It has to be a great year.
Remember, this is conjecture and a little guess work. So don't quote me.

The Illuminated Sign by the Church Door Read "Everyone Welcome".
I have visited some of these denominational welcome signed buildings called Church and found the people to be very denominational indoctrinated and set in their ways, regarding what they believe and do. For the people who conform to what they believe and do what they do, were without a doubt welcome to be there and eventually, in order to be a member had to sign a document to confirm that they conform to the beliefs of the denomination along with participating in their rituals and practises.
If the Jesus I see in the Bible was the head of that denomination and was leading the service, there is no doubt that the sign would read the truth, everyone would be welcome. But I somehow think these religious sanctimonious people would treat the Sunday-meeting-service CRASHERS as did the religious people in Jesus' day, then and now the 'religious world' didn't and wouldn't want anything to do with such "degenerates". Jesus met with and cared for the people who probably wouldn't go to church, because they wouldn't be welcome. If He walked among us in the flesh today He would not attend the "welcome signed" buildings on a Sunday, instead He would seek to minister and fellowship with the religiously rejected people on a daily basis.
We need to live in His Grace and concentrate more on living in fellowship with Christ on a daily basis, loving Him and loving others, and not worry so much about the Sunday-event-driven meeting attended by cloned indoctrinated people. The Church of Jesus Christ is not a building or the time people meet...it is the people of God themselves. The focus should not be on a segregated denominated building, but on a communal daily walk with Him loving the people we meet.
To love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love others fulfills the law. We no longer have to strive to keep the law or religious rules and regulations. We now have a new and better covenant which went into effect at the death and resurrection of Jesus. We now have the Living Word living within us through the Spirit of Christ. We no longer have need of any man to teach us the ways of God, because now the Spirit is our guide. Striving to keep the law is not a thing to do, it happens because we are indwelt by grace and love.
It is time to focus on Jesus and live in His Grace, and not live striving to keep the requirements of the law and religion. It is time to live our relationship with God and with people in our daily living, and do away with following Christ as a Sunday detour from our daily living.

Academy prospects Dwight McNeil and James Clarke have signed their first professional deals at Turf Moor.
The pair, both 18, have followed team-mate Ollie Younger in securing contracts with the Clarets after completing their two-year scholarships.
And left-back Ali Koiki, 18, has also signed a new deal to extend his stay at Turf Moor.
The trio, along with Younger, have been regulars in the under-23s this season and have been rewarded for their progress under Michael Duff, who previously worked with them in the club's under-18 side.
Attacking midfielder McNeil – who has signed a two-year deal with the option of a further 12 months – has also trained with the first team this season and was given a squad number before traveling with Sean Dyche's squad for their Premier League game at Swansea City in February.
"I'm really chuffed, but hopefully this is only a stepping stone and the start of it with more to come in the future," said McNeil, who joined Burnley's youth set-up in 2014 after being released by Manchester United.
Ali Koiki with his representatives assistant under-23s boss Andy Farrell
"I think it's been a better season than I expected, being with the under-23s regularly, and training with the first team.
"When you get the chance to do that and see that, you realise it's something you want to do for the rest of your life."
Clarke's fine season has also been recognised with a recent first call-up to the Republic of Ireland under-18 squad for the right-sided defender, who has signed a 12-month deal with the option of a further year.
"It's always been a dream to be a professional footballer. Even though I've played football all my life to finally say 'I'm a professional footballer' means a lot," said the Wirral-born defender, who has been with the Clarets since he was 14.
"Obviously I'm not there yet, though. I've got a long way to go and hopefully I can kick on next season.
"I think I've improved a lot from last season. Playing under Duffo improved me and playing under him again as the under-23 manager has allowed me to push on. Playing right-back and centre-back I've been able to develop in both positions."
Koiki, who joined the Clarets in 2016 after being spotted playing local football for an academy side in Croydon, has also signed a year's contract extension with a 12-month option.
"I'm very happy. It's a big thing, coming where I've come from. It's another step and I just want to continue to improve," said Koiki, who was released by Crystal Palace as an 11-year-old.
"Playing so regularly this season has been a good thing and hopefully next year I can progress and improve myself further.
"To come into a new training ground every day, where everything is modern, is fantastic and this is a really good place to be."
