Albemarle Corporation Expects Lithium Volume Shift from Q1; Reaffirms Full Year Guidance
Mar 28, 2019, 16:15 ET
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a leader in the global specialty chemicals industry, announced today that its Lithium segment expects a shift of approximately 3,000 – 3,500 metric tons on an LCE basis in volume from Q1 2019 to subsequent quarters in 2019. This volume shift will impact Q1 by approximately $40MM - $45MM in revenue and $15MM - $18MM in EBITDA. The company expects Q1 adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.20 - $1.25.
The volume shortfall in the quarter was primarily due to the timing of customer qualifications of lithium hydroxide from Xinyu II and lithium carbonate from toll manufacturers, as well as production issues at the company's La Negra, Chile, site due to the disruption in the supply of fresh water as a result of the rain event in Chile earlier in the year.
Albemarle expects this volume shortfall to be recovered during the remainder of 2019. As a result, Albemarle reaffirms its full year guidance provided during its Q4 2018 earnings announcement. Full year adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $6.10 - $6.50 represents a pro forma growth rate of 12% - 20% over 2018. The company continues to expect the cadence of earnings to ramp through the year as new lithium capacity comes on line.

The lionfish is native to the Indo-Pacific. They can be found around the seaward edge of reefs and corals, in lagoons and on rocky surfaces to fifty metres. They show a preference for turbid inshore areas and harbours. Found from depths of 1-76m.
Zoo Diet
Our lionfish are fed one to three mussels each, twice a week, as well as fish chunks. They are unlikely to eat more as they have a very slow metabolism.
Wild Diet
They prey mostly on small fish, invertebrates and molluscs, such as shrimp and crabs.
Lionfish have a general hostile attitude and are territorial towards other reef fish. This species is either solitary or is sometimes found in small groups.
Pterois species are generally solitary, but form large spawning aggregations. The female will follow male to the surface and back several times before spawning takes place. The male will breed with several females. Spawning is likely to place year round and the female can release up to 15,000 eggs at a time. Fertilised eggs usually hatch within 36 hours.
Pollution in coral reefs may lead to habitat degradation and reduction in prey.
There are currently no species-specific conservation measures in place.
- Latin Name: Pterois antennata
- Order: Scorpaeniformes

On 29 Oct. 2014 we wrote about this kind of political system as being distinctive of a truly Christian society (that is, a kingdom and a folkdom existing together without destroying one another). We thought it well to offer an historical ensample to bring the idea down from the realm of speculation into concrete reality, that the reader might know that there are alternatives to the snakepit of Big Business-controlled 'constitutional republics'. Tsarist Russia will serve as the ensample for today, though others could be cited (England, Ireland, and so on).
Fr Matthew Raphael Johnson has written this in his essay 'The Peasant Commune in Russia' (this is only a part of it; the whole thing really ought to be read, for it is all quite good):
. . .
A powerful and seminal article by Boris Mironov, "The Russian Peasant Commune After the Reforms of the 1860s" (Slavic Review, Vol. 44, No. 3 [Fall 1985]), is extremely important for the understanding of the peasant commune. Its significance lies in the fact that it takes its data from the survey of 816 communes between 1878 and 1880, sponsored by the Russian Geographical Society and the Russian Free Economic Society. Its results were astounding, and largely supported the claims of the pro-agrarian and pro-monarchist elements in Russia, then and now. The average peasant had it better in Russia than likely anywhere else in Europe. This data proves it.
It is important to keep in mind the structure of the Imperial Russian state around the middle of the 19th century. The tsar's power was limited to foreign policy and general taxation. He, of course, was the chief spokesman for the nation and the defender of the Orthodox Church. However, at the agrarian level, where 90 percent of the population lived, royal authority was virtually invisible. The peasant commune was the only relevant authority the peasant had to deal with. Therefore, it is accurate to say that Russia was not a single, unitary state, but rather a collection of thousands of independent agrarian republics, held together by rather weak cords to the central monarchy. Prof. Charles Sarolea, who visited Russia regularly, wrote in the 1925 issue of The English Review:
On closer examination we find the [Imperial] Russian state was a vast federation of 50,000 small peasant republics each busy with its own affairs, obedient to its own laws and even possessing its own tribunals of starotsas (elders). The Russian state was not undemocratic, on the contrary, if anything, there was too much democracy.
What makes the peasant commune such a unique institution is the power it had. Each commune was a completely selfcontained unit, answering to no other authority than its own body of elected elders. All police functions were discharged by the communal authorities. All legal matters were dealt with by the same. Any damage to property, any criminal offense whatsoever, was dealt with at the communal level. All public works were also within the jurisdiction of the commune. It maintained stores of grain during famines and assisted poorer members who suffered during the lean months of the spring. It controlled the cultural life of the people as well as all education. It even built its own parish churches and trained many of the rural clergy. The commune maintained all schools and hospitals. In short, it was absolute.
The state's interest in this was clear. For the commune to be self governing, yet still loyal to the monarchy, it was necessary for it to be completely independent of the state. Mironov writes, "The government did not risk appointing its own people, who would have been independent of the peasant, to official positions in the commune; that would have been too expensive and ineffective at the same time." (445)
However, to make sure any village executive (specifically its chief executive) was loyal, he could be removed by the royal-appointed district governor. This, however, rarely occurred, largely because irritating the peasants, the great bastion of loyalty in the country, would not be in the interests of the royal state. Mironov continues in this vein:
If, however, one analyzes how these officials actually functioned, it is clear that the government did not reach its goal: elected officials did not stand above the commune but operated under its authority, and all administrative and police measures in the commune were taken only with the consent of the village assembly. Only very rarely did elected officials become a hostile authority standing above the peasantry: they had to be periodically reelected, had no significant privileges, did not break their ties with the peasantry (elected officials were freed from taxes and other obligations, except those in kind, and continued to perform all forms of peasant labor), remained under the control of public opinion of the village (and in the event of malfeasance faced the threat of retribution), and shared the common interest of the peasants, not the interests of the state. As a rule the elected officials acted as the defenders of the commune, as petitioners and organizers. Frequently they emerged as leaders of peasant disorders despite the threat of harsh punishment. (445-6)
Many liberal Russia scholars might counter this by claiming that the elected village heads were required, after the 1860s, to faithfully carry out the will of the district authorities. However, though this is true, it was also true that no decree of the district authorities had validity in the commune unless it was approved by the village assembly.
According to the data collected by the Russian Geographic Society, the Russian peasant assembly consisted of all male heads of household. Decisions were not finalized until unanimity was reached, or, as Mironov has said, disagreement was brought to a level of silent sulking, which, at this level, was considered agreement. It is important to note, therefore, that each peasant had a specific stake in communal affairs as well as a corresponding voice. Any specific peasant, therefore, could not afford to be alienated from the community, as all decisions could be vetoed even by a relatively small group of disgruntled peasants.

Ivan Solonevich adds some weighty thoughts of his own to this subject in his 'The Force of Authority' (trans. Mark Hackard). A small sample:
. . .
In Muscovite Rus, acts of regicide would have first of all been pointless, for the Tsar's authority was only one of the components of a "system of institutions," and they system could not be changed by the murder of one of its components. According to Aksakov: to the Tsar belonged the force of authority, and to the people the force of opinion. Or according to Lev Tikhomirov: monarchy derived "not from the arbitrary rule of one person, but from a system of institutions." By the force of authority, the Muscovite Tsars realized the opinion of the Land. This opinion, organized into the Church, into ecclesiastical councils and Assemblies of the Land, and in its unorganized form represented by the population of Moscow, did not change over a regicide. Assemblies never claimed power (a completely incomprehensible phenomenon from the European point of view), and Tsars never went against the "opinion of the Land," a phenomenon of a purely Russian order. Behind the monarchy stood an entire "system of institutions," and all of this taken together presented itself as a monolith impossible to shatter through any regicide.
Therefore the Popular-Monarchist Movement sees in the "restoration of monarchy" not only the "restoration of the monarch," but also a whole system of institutions from the Throne of All the Russias to the village assembly. It would be that system in which the force of authority belonged to the Tsar and the force of opinion to the people. This cannot be achieved by any "written laws" or "constitution," for both written laws and constitutions are followed by men only until that time when they gain the strength to NOT follow them. The Popular-Monarchist Movement is not engaged in publishing the laws of a future Russian Empire. It attempts to establish basic principles and ideationally compose the country's future ruling class, which would be equally devoted to the Tsar and the people, a ruling class organized into a system of institutions to realize these principles in practice and truly become the bulwark of the throne, not visitors to prayer services who conceal in their boots the daggers of regicide.

In the current atmosphere following Pres Obama's executive amnesty of millions of illegal immigrants, we understand that the term 'king' will bring forth plenty of negative reactions. But this is to misunderstand what a king is. A true king is the embodiment and expression (often the highest form of it) of a people's history and praiseworthy traditions. When he acts (passing a law, overturning a court ruling, etc.), it is always to uphold those traditions, for to do otherwise would undermine the foundation that his authority rests upon (as the Abbeville Institute's Dr Donald Livingston has said). (Such a figure would thus fit well in the tradition-loving South.) This is the opposite of what Pres Obama has done, so he is not properly to be called a king but a tyrant, i.e., one who rules according to his will alone - with all thought of laws, traditions, and fear of God's judgment cast out of his mind.

Women's soccer wins on penalty kicks
The No. 6 USC women's soccer team began its two-game Arizona road trip in Tucson facing Arizona on Thursday. Despite a slow start, the Trojans pulled out the 1-0 victory in a double overtime thriller headlined by a penalty kick goal from senior forward Alex Anthony.
Although the Wildcats are unranked, they were hot off a huge upset victory against No. 11 Cal. Coming into the game, Arizona knew that a win against the Trojans would most likely land them a spot in the top 25. On the other side, the Women of Troy entered the desert state coming off a fantastic weekend with two wins against a pair of Oregon teams last weekend.
Both USC and Arizona are notorious for playing a fast-paced offense while maintaining a strong back line which made for a heart-stopping contest. The Wildcats took the momentum early in the game with a pair of scoring opportunities deep into the USC zone but were rejected on both attempts.
The Trojans stole the momentum halfway through the first half with two scoring opportunities of their own. In the 32nd minute, junior forward Leah Pruitt was left alone inside the the goal area where she rifled a point-blank shot toward the Wildcats' net but was denied by junior goalkeeper Lainey Burdett. Just a minute later, the Women of Troy threatened to score again with senior midfielder Sydney Sladek alone on the right side inside the 18-yard box, but the aggressive Arizona defense was there to stop the attempt.
Despite the high volume of scoring opportunities for both sides, the first half of the match was scoreless. At halftime, head coach Keidane McAlpine commented on his team's scoring opportunities.
"We've created half-chances in and around the box, maybe have a little more composure with the passes that we are making into those plays," McAlpine said. "But I like where we are. I think we are in a decent rhythm and we are creating quite a few chances."
Early into the second half USC caught a break with a clutch diving save from redshirt freshman goalkeeper Kaylie Collins. The Women of Troy then responded with a close chance of their own in the 58th minute. On a crossbody shot from within the box, Sladek pounded the ball off the crossbar, but the ball went over the back of the net and the Wildcats regained control with the goal kick.
The remainder of the second half was a back-and-forth battle between the Trojans and Wildcats. However, neither squad was able to able to find the back of the net and the game headed to overtime. At the end of the regulation, the Women of Troy had outshot Arizona 12-3, four of which were on frame.
The Wildcats wasted no time advancing into the Trojans' zone. In the 92nd minute, senior midfielder Cali Crisler gave the Wildcats their first scoring opportunity of overtime with a booming left foot just below the USC crossbar. However, Collins was able to tip the ball just over the top of the goal with a magnificent diving save.
The Women of Troy quickly bounced back and worked inside the Arizona defensive zone taking several shots. In the 99th minute, a tackle from behind by junior midfielder Kennedy Kieneker put Anthony in a game-defining penalty kick situation. With the game on the line, Anthony sailed the ball over the top of the net, and the contest would be extended to a second overtime.
In the 109th minute, the Trojans were fouled again within the Arizona 18-yard box and Anthony was granted her second overtime penalty kick. This time, Anthony drilled the ball into the back of the net to close off the game and grant the Trojans their third Pac-12 win over a very competitive Arizona team.
With the overtime victory, freshman goalkeeper Kaylie Collins tallied her fifth shutout of the season and the Women of Troy improved their overall record to 9-1-1. They will now journey 100 miles north for their Sunday matchup against Arizona State.

Ask any Wilmington man or woman if they've taken their vehicle in for preventive maintenance lately, and the answer may well be "no." Surveys indicate that over 80% of vehicles on the road today are in need of some kind of repair or maintenance. Now, ask that same person why he hasn't taken his car in for care. The answer will probably be that he forgot or that he just didn't think about it. Most Wilmington residents seem to have a hard time remembering about scheduled maintenance for their vehicles.Funny, because most of us in Wilmington have no trouble remembering to wash our clothes, mow our lawns or brush our teeth. It isn't that we can't remember to take our vehicles for service; it's a matter of making it a priority.When it comes to our vehicles, Wilmington drivers like myself, need to be a little more maintenance-minded. The fact is, we can choose to do it, or we might find ourselves being compelled to do it.For example, when we cons ... read more
Most Wilmington drivers know something about preventive maintenance on a vehicle. We know we should routinely replace the oil and wiper blades and other fluids. But have you heard of a PCV valve ? This little car part needs to be replaced regularly or it can cause some serious problems in your vehicle engine.PCV stands for Positive Crankcase Ventilation. The crankcase holds your motor oil and is located at the bottom of your engine.When fuel is burned in your engine, it produces waste gases that are mostly vented out through your exhaust system. But some of these gases push their way past the pistons and into the crankcase. There, these gases can mix with motor oil to produce oil sludge, which can damage vehicle engine parts through corrosion and by clogging engine passages. Wilmington vehicle owners should be advised that if the engine is running at high speeds, these gases can also cause pressure inside the crankcase to build up. This pressure, in tu ... read more
Today we're going to be talking about serpentine belts for our Wilmington, Delaware, customers. Let's start by talking about the accessories that are driven by the serpentine belt. First is the alternator. That's the device that makes electricity to power the vehicle and recharge the battery. Then there's the air conditioning compressor that makes cool air for you while you're driving around Delaware in the summer.The power steering and power brake pumps are driven by the serpentine belt in most Wilmington residents' vehicles. Those pumps provide pressure that assists your steering and braking.In many vehicles, the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt. The water pump is what circulates the coolant that protects your engine. In some cars around Wilmington, Delaware, the water pump is driven by the timing belt.The radiator cooling fans on some vehicles are also driven by the serpentine belt. Some have separate electric motors. That's really a lot ... read more
When autumn comes around in Wilmington, leaves fall, nights get longer and there's a definite nip in the air. Time to unpack the boots and gloves and fold some extra blankets onto the beds. It's also time for Wilmington drivers to winterize their vehicles.Here is some expert auto advice for Wilmington drivers on what vehicles need to keep everyone safe and rolling throughout the Delaware winter months.1. Check your antifreeze. Top it off or change it if necessary. You don't want your radiator, engine or hoses freezing up. If your vehicle isn't generating enough heat to keep you warm, your antifreeze might be low, or you might have a thermostat problem. Either way, you should get it checked out before the full force of Delaware winter sets in. If you are due for a cooling system service at PONTE'S AUTOCARE in Wilmington, get that done as well.2. Check your brakes. The slushy wet conditions of winter increase stopping distances. Ice exacerbates the probl ... read more

I was blessed to be able to spend all day Saturday with some of my fabulous
and fun... uber creative friends at a workshop taught by Kim Poloson.
This is a great shot of Kim, Madeline and Jan... looking oh so cute!
The vintage look of this photo is quite accidental due to the poor lighting...
and the amateur photograher holding the camera... which would be me!
I was not able to get a good photo of my sweet friend Gwen... but together...
we all had a wonderful time of learning, sharing and encouraging one another!
These are two of the boards I created... one with vintage papers and the
other with layers of paint. It will be fun to see how these techniques wiggle
their way into my own work in the days to come!
And the place itself was so inspiring with all its artsy and vintage charm!
It's called Art Circus Studio... tucked away inside Main Street Vintage.
So I wonder what new things you've been learning? Anything fun and creative?
You know that old saying about how you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Well... it just isn't so, is it? No matter how old or young you are... I do hope
you're challenging yourself to learn something new during this season of your
life... for you never know how God might want to use what you're learning
today to bring Him glory tomorrow!
Love and hugs...

Another look at Casual Matchmaking
Oh look! A Team Fortress 2 article! That's a genuine surprise. Except it's not, because Halloween is here, and Scream Fortress has always been my favourite event of the year. This year, not so much, but that's really for another article. Yes, I wanted to have another look at Casual Matchmaking. What made me want to write this was the fact that I spent half an hour in one match, on Ghostfort (the Lakeside Event map). This map is incredibly long at the best of times, but casual matchmaking's best of 3, combined with people being unfamiliar with the map,… [Continue Reading]Read more

I love to travel and was looking for somewhere exciting to go to this summer but Ben said he needed to work on his dissertation this year :(. So I was looking for new travel buddies and heard my coworker, Zina, was going to Turkey for a wedding, so I talked asked if I could come along and talked my other coworker, Becky, into coming along too! Zina's mom and 2 sisters, and us all flew from DC straight to Istanbul — we left Saturday at 11:30pm and 10 hours later landed in Istanbul at 4:30pm on Sunday! All 6 of us spent 4 nights in Istanbul at an AirBnB apartment, then Becky and I went to Florence, Italy for 3 nights while Zina and her family stayed in Turkey for the wedding :).
Day 0
Turkish Airlines were pretty impressive – gave us Turkish Delight, slippers, overnight kit (tooth brush, socks, chapstick etc), pillow, tons of movies, etc. I felt like it was pretty fancy but by the time dinner came around I was starting to get annoyed they wouldn't just let me sleep ;-). Anyways, we landed in Istanbul, made our way to our apartment, and then found ourselves some dinner. Dinner that night, was pretty bland — we probably stayed in a too touristy of an area? The apartment was decent and only a 5-10 minute walk to old town, but was a little sparse on the bedding, the beds felt like box springs, and the bedroom window didn't close all the way so we could hear the street noise…but I was tired enough that I slept decently anyways :-).
Day 1 (Monday, June 16)
Monday we left about 8:45am and walked to Topkapi Palace – which was the primary residence of the Ottoman sultans from the 1400s – 1800s and was huge and gorgeous! I loved all the painted walls and ceilings! We also had a rather pricey lunch there… but I did get my watermelon ;-).
Then we walked over to the Basilica Cistern which has over 300 columns, was built in the 500s and provided water to the Topkapi Palace and other places until after the 1400s.
Then we went to the Blue Mosque which was very beautiful! A mosque normally has 1 minaret but the Blue Mosque has 6. When being built in the 1600s, the Sultan was critiqued for being presumptuous for having 6 minarets, since the only other mosque with so many was in Mecca. To overcome this critique the Sultan ordered a 7th minaret for the mosque in Mecca :).
Then we went to the Grand Bazaar (a huge indoor market), where you are supposed to bargain… I did bargain but I think we still paid too much…After we were sufficiently annoyed with people trying to get us to buy stuff ;), Becky and I RAN back to the Science & Technology Museum (back by the Topkapi palace where were that morning lol), we got there at 4:30 and it closed at 5, but I think we were done in about 10 minutes lol… we were so tired and my feet were dying plus the museum wasn't that impressive… so we laughed and went and sat in a park for an hour :-).
For dinner, Becky and I wandered around neighborhoods looking for a mysterious restaurant on google maps…we never found it but after finding our way out of the neighborhoods (or the "ghetto" as Becky said ;), we found a decent place to eat with a Whirling Dervish dancer – they spin while they meditate/pray.

Finance Minister, Audley Shaw, is calling on multilateral agencies to provide a combination of grant funding and concessional loans to help Caribbean islands severely affected by the passage of hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Minister Shaw made the call while addressing the Caribbean and International Partners Action Dialogue on Hurricanes.
It was held at the Organization of American States (OAS) in Washington DC on Friday. The event was convened by Grenada's Prime Minister, Keith Mitchell, and Sir Richard Branson.
Delegations from the Caribbean and multilateral agencies were also in attendance. The Finance Minister says the devastation caused by the recent hurricanes in certain Caribbean countries was unprecedented.
Meanwhile, Minister Shaw commended the World Bank for the swift payout under the Caribbean Catastrophic Risk Insurance Facility.
He also highlighted the need for a review of the insurance scheme, to see how it can be significantly enhanced for emergencies like these.

Typically the type of writing we expect to find on the wall of a public restroom stall would be something like "for a good time call…", but there's something more to be found on college campuses these days. At Michigan State University, students are running into another form of solicitation in their campus restrooms.
Yep, that's Teach For America (TFA) hustling young adults while they pee — Geez, talk about lowbrow recruiting tactics. Surely it's every graduate's dream to say "I discovered my life's calling in the third stall on the left in North Kedzie Hall".
What makes this so interesting in Michigan is that 27 percent of the teachers hired by the state's controversial Education Achievement Authority (EAA) are from TFA. The EAA is a special school district, established by fiat, which took-over 15 academically failing schools from Detroit Public Schools. The new district lacks democratically elected leaders and is instead run by a "Chancellor" — John Covington, who readily admits that fully 51 percent of his teaching staff has less than three years experience in the classroom. Covington came to the EAA from Kansas City Public Schools where, under his watch as superintendent, the district lost its accreditation. As chancellor, he currently enjoys compensation to the tune of over $353,538.
How does the EAA pay for that salary? In part, by hiring college graduates on the cheap. They receive a whopping five weeks of TFA training before being thrown into a classroom full of academically struggling students. Last year, Detroit-area Senator Bert Johnson (D-2) reported numerous problems with the schools — mostly due to inexperienced teachers, including one school where a dozen TFA recruits walked-off the job out of frustration.
TFA recruits are not required to have a degree in education. In fact, the only education-related training they typically receive is the TFA summertime crash course immediately prior to their fulfilling a two-year teaching contract. Fewer than a third of them go on to pursue a career in education. With the soaring cost of higher education, and lack of jobs, TFA becomes an attractive short-term alternative to grads much in the same way as the military.
The National Education Policy Center published a brief last week titled Teach for America: A Return to the Evidence, which calls for school districts to be guided by the following recommendations when considering employing TFA recruits:
Support TFA staffing only when the alternative hiring pool consists of uncertified and emergency teachers or substitutes.
Consider the additional costs of TFA teachers and press for contractual five-year commitments to improve student test-score achievement and reduce costly teacher turnover.
Require TFA teachers to receive additional teacher training that is based on well-supported best practices in in-service teacher professional development.
Independently obtain contracts and data to compare finder fees, placement, and attrition rates of TFA teachers, and various costs by community.
It is unlikely that Chancellor Covington has any intention of following those guidelines. In its short history under his leadership, the EAA has demonstrated poor fiscal control and a lack of transparency. In addition to its vacuuming-up per pupil state revenues, the district has been relying on private funds to stay afloat, and last year it clandestinely borrowed $12 million from fiscally distressed Detroit Public Schools.
Hiring teachers in the restroom? Yep, sounds about right.

I was looking at my Top 5 List and figured it was far enough out of date that it warranted an update. There is a new number 2 and a new number 5 resulting in two very good cigars falling off the list. The original Oliva Master Blends and the Perdomo Edición de Silvio Cameroon still rank among my favorite smokes, but the Hoyo and the Cruzado that now rank in my Top 5 are superb cigars. Truth is, trying to rank cigars that are this good is a difficult exercise so really this list reflects my feelings at the time I am writing it. As I have said before, it is a very fluid thing that changes in my head far more often than it does on this site. If you are interested, you can find Version 2.0 of my Top 5 the same place it has always been.

Household trash doesn't belong in store cans
Dear Readers:
Here is this week's Sound Off, about courtesy trash cans:
"I work for a large retail chain store. Among the many conveniences provided to our customers, we have a number of trash receptacles in our parking lot. These are meant to be used for trash, such as coffee and soft-drink cups, etc. But many customers have taken to using them to dispose of their household garbage. This causes the trash cans to fill up faster than we can empty them. Please let your readers know that dumping household garbage in public trash cans is a big no-no!"
Dumped On in Ohio
Dear Readers:
Other uses for a potato masher:
1 Break up ground meat when cooking.
1 Mash eggs when making egg salad.
1 Use to mix up items in a round pot or bowl.
1 Make designs on peanut-butter cookies.
1 Crush up fruit to make jams and jellies.

"I love training outside and it's more motivating to together in a group."
"I started doing Boot Camp, 3 times per week in March 2018. I wanted to get fit again, feel stronger and lose some weight. My motivation is to be around for my young son and wife. Nine months on I feel much stronger through the core, have lost 14kgs and improved my fitness out of sight. I've doubled the length of my plank to 5 minutes, improved my run around New Farm Park by 30 seconds, my 1km by over a minute and managed a 9 minute squat hold!
I love training outside and it's more motivating to together in a group. Chris is very easy to get along with which helps. I loved my time so far and I really enjoy all the different ball games. I'm aiming to continue the training in 2019, add some of my own workouts and focus more on my nutrition.
My advice is to just come along and give it a go. He makes it fun and you forget you're actually exercising."

From ACE thread:
It's a stupid game — chasing each other on an open field, kicking a ball — perfect for little children and retarded adults.
Actually that is not stupid at all – playing soccer is great fun; but watching soccer will usually make you go bonkers with boredom. They need to change things to make the game more dynamic and allow for more goals.
What is extremely stupid, however, is the fact that you have children (20 year old children) who do nothing but kick around this little ball and who get 10 million bucks for it. And if you want to start a program to fight violence against children, there's no money. If you want to prevent elderly abuse, there's no money. If you want to fight a thousand of ills, there's no money.
And the entire financial structure of soccer teams in countries where soccer is big business is one putrid corrupt quicksand. Too much money for a bunch of stupid, no-good little boys.
And just to pre-empt the forthcoming tangential retort, I am not saying this is only a problem in soccer -but that's the subject at hand.
It's not so much the game that stinks, it's everything that touches money around it.
And then you get these horrid attitudes from little millionaire celebrity players who are treated like superheros for their stupid little soccer talent. In other words, morons clap at morons. And waste money that could be put to much better use.
Yesterday I watched my first game of the World Cup, because I had tried watching a few bits of previous games and just stopped because they were so dreadfully boring. "Spain vs. Tunisia" was quite dynamic and had very interesting moments, enought to actually allow one to enjoy some of the game, although at 1 hour and so many minutes, it got to be too long. But overall it was nice. I have absolutely no favorite team at this point. Maybe as it gets closer to the finals I will start rooting for someone, or most probably, start rooting against one or more teams. 😉 That's even more fun. 😉

Method And Apparatus For Reducing Current Mirroring Loss In High-Gate-Leakage MOS Circuits
Publication Date: 2003-Jul-14
Publishing Venue
The IP.com Prior Art Database
In a MOS-based current mirror circuit configuration, current mirroring loss is mitigated by disconnecting the gate and drain of a diode connected MOS transistor and reference node (the drain of the original diode-connected MOS transistor) and its source node at the gate connection of the original diode connected MOS transistor. The drain of the additional transistor is tied to a low-impedance voltage source. In addition, a diode-connected MOS device of an opposite type may be connected to the drain node to reduce the voltage level present at the drain node, in order to mitigate undesirable high-voltage supply effects which have the potential to casue hot-electron effects and larger than desired current.

The Penguin Post has learned that the wedding between William and Kate will not be the only royal wedding in the U.K. today, as at the Dudley Zoo, zookeepers will be holding their own celebrations for their very own Will and Kate today. If we had known in advance we would have sent them our penguin wedding cake topper.
In honor of the royal couple, the zoo staff have named two rare Humboldt penguins William and Kate. The tiny two were hand reared by dedicated keepers after being rejected by their mums during autumn's cold snap. Since November they have made steady progress in the aviary nursery before gradually being introduced into the main group – a colony of 60-plus parent-reared Humboldts, which is the largest in the UK. Chief executive Peter Suddock said: "We were thinking of names for the youngsters when the royal announcement was made so we called them William and Kate to mark the occasion. "Dudley Zoo incorporates the 11th century Dudley Castle which has strong royal connections; Queen Elizabeths I and II have both visited and several dukes and earls have strong ties with the site, so we felt it fitting to send Prince William and Kate an adoption pack for their namesakes and wish them well for a long and very happy future." He added: "We're not quite sure where they will settle once they are fully integrated in the penguin enclosure, so just for fun we have labelled the nesting boxes Clarence House, Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and Kensington Palace, to give them a fairly regal choice for their first home." Visitors to the zoo will be able to watch the big event on a large screen in the Discovery Center and youngsters will have the chance to be princes and princesses for the day with special crowns to commemorate the occasion. Mr Suddock added: "The big screen will relay the wedding celebrations throughout the day, and keeping staff will be taking it in turns across the various animal sections to watch the event."

The theoretical concepts about entrepreneurship have changed since the last three decades. It has become one of the most crucial factors in the economic processes. These changes in the theories about entrepreneurships have been supported by the shift in the whole economic environment. If we look the comparison of the managed economy and the entrepreneurial economy (Audretsch and Thurik 2001), it can be seen clearly those shifts which contributed to become entrepreneurship an important factor in the economic development. Entrepreneurships are embedded in that socio-economic environment, where they continue their economic activity. The entrepreneurship is influenced by those negative and positive factors (for example other institutions and actors, connections, externalities) which can be attributed to regional factors. It can be assumed that the regional context of the institutional and individual factors has a crucial role in the entrepreneurial performance of a given territory. If the definition of entrepreneurship has been looked, it can be observed that entrepreneurship is a multi-dimensional concept. This multi-dimensional character would require a complex view and measure of entrepreneurship. The Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI) is a measure of entrepreneurship based on a system view (Ács et al 2013). Its methodology has been applied for the regional measurement of entrepreneurial performance which is called Regional Entrepreneurship and Development Index (REDI) (Szerb et al 2014). The REDI components, so-called pillars, have two components, and consequently two types of variables reflecting to the parts of the individual and institutional context of entrepreneurship. This paper focuses on the entrepreneurial performance of Central and Eastern European (CEE) regions which have been measured by the REDI. The performances of the CEE countries are compared with other European regions and they have been analysed on their own as well. It can be observed that CEE regions have relatively poor entrepreneurial performance amongst the European regions. As the regions' performance were compared to one another it can be observed that there are some factors which are weak not only on the regional but on the national level as well. One of the most important characters in the CEE regions is the high difference between the capital city and the other regions. It could mean that the economic weight and the entrepreneurial performance of the non-capital regions are relatively small.

While online retail represents a challenge for physical stores, it is only one of many factors that affect sales, according to Eros Group CEO Niranjan Gidwani
While the rise of e-commerce has led to increased openings of online shops, physical stores continue to be stronger, according to the chief executive of consumer electronics giant Eros Group.
Speaking to Arabian Business, Niranjan Gidwani said the segment accounts for just 5 percent of the total consumer electronics retail business in the UAE, as customers prefer to experience certain products before making a purchase.
"Consumers find it an ideal channel when shopping for smartphones or accessories, but look to traditional channels for appliances and televisions," he said, adding that the theory that e-commerce is more optimal than brick and mortar has "long been debunked."
"Logistics costs, returns and other charges make [e-commerce] a costly proposition on par with physical stores. While many traditional retailers are shutting down shops, online players such as Amazon are also opening physical stores," he added.
While online retail represents a challenge for physical stores, it is only one of many factors affecting sales.
"Market saturation and price planning also play a role. Each retailer will have to find the right path to reach customers. We try to blend the two channels, as we already have a traditional set-up with a well-structured logistics format," Gidwani noted.
He remains optimistic in the run-up to Dubai Expo 2020, when new residential properties will enter the market and increase the demand for home appliances and entertainment products, particularly in the second half of 2018, when the highest delivery of new residential properties is expected, he said.
The chief executive also said traditional retailers will have to enhance the consumer experience in store through a variety of ways, including hiring younger sales floor personnel and competitive pricing.

Sophia Bush spends a lot of time advocating for issues she cares about, such as ensuring gender equality, protecting the environment and registering people to vote. In fact, don't be surprised if you see the actress's own name show up on a ballot one day.
"I think that eventually that's something I would consider," Bush, 37, tells Yahoo Entertainment when asked about the possibility of running for political office. "As a creative person, I'm a storyteller and an artist, there are some stories that I'm working on right now that I really want to tell, and then I also think about how, when I've been able to cross a couple of those things off of my grand goal list, that it would probably feel very natural to start thinking about running for office."
She adds that it "doesn't feel like it's on the immediate horizon," but "sort of a later-in-life plan."
She's previously collaborated with Pencils of Promise to build schools around the world and worked in schools stateside with the Girl Project, a Glamour magazine initiative to support the education of girls around the world, among other efforts. This month, she's teamed up with Always to help end period poverty, or girls not having access to feminine hygiene products, which which makes them lose confidence and miss school.
"To learn that one in five girls in the United States faces period poverty and misses school because of [it] was just was so shocking to me," says Bush, citing numbers from a study conducted by the brand. "And I think that we naively or ignorantly assume that something like that could only happen somewhere else."
Throughout the month of September, people are encouraged to like or comment on Always's social media posts tagged #EndPeriodPoverty, buy a pack of Always pads or share a short film on the subject, shot by National Geographic, with the campaign hashtag, to raise awareness and prompt donations from the company of up to 1 million period products.
"We're having these conversations about making sure women have a seat at the table. If girls are being held back from school, if girls are eventually dropping out of school because they fall so far behind, they're not going to university," Bush says. "They're not getting in the room to get the job they're smart enough and capable enough to do, because their education has been compromised. So there is real, lasting, generational and societal impact to a crisis like this, and nobody's talking about it."
Bush has a suggestion about how to acknowledge the issue.
"A bunch of my girlfriends and I, years ago, made a commitment," she explains. "We were like, alright guys, whenever we're out somewhere and somebody needs a tampon, pass it around like a cigar. Make it an open conversation. It feels important to remove the women's body conversation from the brown paper bag on the bottom shelf. Like, hello, we're 51 percent of the population."
The One Tree Hill alum also has devoted time to the Time's Up movement against sexual harassment, founded in January 2018. In her eyes, there's been some progress made, just not enough.
"I think there's a lot of work to be done to actually see institutionalized change across all industries, not just entertainment. But I do think that the first step is always a conversation, and I think the fact that we're having the conversation is incredibly important," Bush says. "I just want to see the conversation be followed with substantive action."

This Tuesday Lois, Ullie and I marched in the UBC Farm Trek. It was a gorgeous day with many creative souls bearing handmade signs and wearing funky costumes. With 2000 people attending, it felt like we were a group of people who could make the change happen and we could save UBC Farm.
Hats off to the dedicated organizers who pulled this off. They are incredible.
Lois designed an amazing sandwich board with photos of the indoor gardens she grew at the Banff Centre. You can see photos of it on her Garden Gnomad blog here and there are more photos on the Friends of the Farm blog with an address by David Suzuki and another by Gregor Robertson.
Thanks to Lois Klassen for taking all the photos above.

Explain delay in prosecuting babus: HC
Upset with the delay in taking a decision on a proposal to sanction prosecution of public servants, the Bombay high court on Friday sought explanation from the Maharashtra chief secretary.mumbai Updated: Jul 09, 2011 02:18 IST
Upset with the delay in taking a decision on a proposal to sanction prosecution of public servants, the Bombay high court on Friday sought explanation from the Maharashtra chief secretary.
A division bench of justice BH Marlapalle and justice UD Salvi directed the chief secretary to file an affidavit explaining why the sanction to prosecute Navin Singh Raghuvanshi, the then director of a state government undertaking, Maharashtra Vansanshodhan Sanstha, Chandrapur, and his wife Renu was not cleared.
"This seems to be a joke," said the judges, noting that the proposal was pending with the Revenue and Forest Department since February 2008. "You are virtually defeating the entire purpose of the anti corruption act."
Referring to an affidavit filed by DN Tare, assistant commissioner of police, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), the court asked public prosecutor Pandurang Pol why the proposal was gathering dust. Pol said guidelines had to be framed in this regard. Dissatisfied with the reply, the judges gave the chief secretary time till July 18 to file the affidavit.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Renu seeking quashing of the FIR on the grounds of delay in filing of charge sheet against the couple, who allegedly accumulated ill-gotten wealth to the tune of Rs2.37 crore.
In May 2001, the ACB had initiated an inquiry into Raghuvanshi's assets. The formal FIR was registered on July 10, 2003. The director general ACB forwarded the proposal seeking sanction to prosecute the couple to the additional chief secretary, home, in 2008, from where it was sent to principal secretary, Revenue and Forest Department on February 14, 2008.

A venue with a strong history of Scottish downhill events Pitfichie is known for its granite slabs, sharp rock edges and technically challenging tracks.
We're bringing you previews to the 2017 Scottish Enduro Series, and with round one out of the way, our attentions turn north and east. Pitfichie's been a regular race venue over the years, however, never has the North East of Scotland or Aberdeenshire held an enduro event on its doorstep.
Photos by Ross Bell.
Things look to be changing in the future though with development plans afoot under the North East Trail Centre Organisation (NETCO) and Tarland Trails group.
So what should be expected of this new Enduro venue, a place most riders on the Enduro circuit will be very unfamiliar with. One thing we're certain of is that riders will have a superb weekend racing and that we'll see more from the areas riding and racing scene over the coming year.
Getting you up to speed.
Firstly, a little history for those who are completely in the dark about this new venue for 2017. Situated beside the quaint village of Monymusk it's a well loved venue for local mountain bikers. The downhill track was first developed by a bunch of students and local riders putting in the hard graft before the Scottish Cyclists Union Mountain Bike (SCUMB) downhill series came to the venue in 2003.
In 2005 the local Forestry Commission developed a number of mountain bike routes including the Devils Staircase descent. This development didn't expand beyond a number of trail and sadly further development was stopped. The downhill track was then expanded with a new line built and used a number of times since providing an even more technical and difficult descent. The venue has been a regular on the SDA event list and will no doubt be on there again in future.
The Tracks.
There's a lot of established tracks at Pitfichie already, including some trail centre but expect some fresh cut trails. Yes, we love fresh cut as much as you! We're excited to see what the guys at NETCO have been up to. Not even the locals will know some of the stages. The tracks are pretty varied but one common feature is the granite slabs of the region. There's a reason Aberdeen gets the name 'The Granite City' so prepare for a few dents on those fresh wheels.
Between the granite there's some soft peaty ground and further to the west of the series of hills is a more loamy affair. You'll be getting wild down some of these trails. Expect stages to range from just over 1 minute up to around 5 minutes long with some stages checking you've been getting the winter miles in and others checking the technical skills as well.
What to bring?
Due to the abundance of granite on the trails we'd recommend some spare brake pads. The grit really wears pads out. Sadly this also means it wears drive chains out as well so maybe a spare chain will be good.
The hills are quite exposed so make sure you pack some waterproofs in case you're stuck on the summits during the weekend.
Tyre choice is a difficult one. With a mix of trail centre and tech DH it's not an easy choice. We're thinking something a bit more nobly up front such as a Continental Baron and a heavy DH trye on the rear which rolls a bit faster. We'll be throwing on the downhill casing Der Kaiser to avoid the punctures.
A few extra days?
If you've got time before or after the race then why not try some of the other riding spots in the area or swing by the Cairngroms for some big mountain riding. Our enduro rider Chris Hutchens offers guiding services so drop him a message or grab some coaching while you're up. I'm sure he can show you some incredible riding in the area.
Food and Accommodation.
Aberdeen has an abundance of accommodation around and a plus side of the economic difficulties in the area means you'll find a cracking deal on rooms. Aberdeen was once one of the only places in the UK where room rates were cheaper at the weekends.
The closest major town to the race venue is Inverurie and for some place country side living then check out the hotels and accommodation in Kemney, Kintore, Torphins, Alford or Westhill. They're all within driving distance of the venue.
Our local favorites for food are Fennel Restaurant in Inverurie or the Echt Tandoori, in Echt.
We've already had one race flash by so before the seasons over and while the start of spring is upon us then grab a few extra training miles in and prepare for a big loop at Pitfichie. There's going to be a solid mix of stages at round 2 and we're excited to see racing head to a new part of the country. We'll be there to see the action unfold. Catch you on the trails!
