Sarnia Sting centre Jamieson Rees was picked by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round, 44th overall, at the NHL draft Saturday in Vancouver.
Sting's Rees drafted by Hurricanes in second round
Speed and skill were the Carolina Hurricanes' focus at the NHL draft.
That made Sarnia Sting centre Jamieson Rees a perfect fit for them.
The Hurricanes drafted the five-foot-10, 182-pound Rees in the second round with the 44th overall selection Saturday in Vancouver.
"I didn't get much sleep last night, but I'm definitely excited now," said the 18-year-old from Hamilton.
Rees had 10 goals and 22 assists in 37 games last season with the Sting.
"This is the type of player that our fans are going to love," Hurricanes director of player personnel Darren Yorke said. "It's a guy that is basically the Rod Brind'Amour-type of player that plays extremely hard (and) can make big hits.
"He came into the under-18s and really was a firestarter for Team Canada with being able to play physical (and be) hard to play against, as well as scoring."
Rees had eight points, including a team-high six assists, in seven games while playing an energy role at the world under-18 championship in April in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden.
He was widely expected to be a second-round draft pick after being 30th among North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting final rankings.
"You could describe me as a very high-compete forward with good offensive ability," Rees said. "Very physical. Very versatile and able to play many different roles."
He said his work ethic comes from his father.
"When he would describe the way he played when he was younger, he would say that he had a very high compete and he was smaller," Rees said. "That's how he said he played. He didn't take anything from anybody and I think that's where I get it from."
The Hurricanes acquired the 44th selection earlier in the day, along with the 83rd overall pick in the third round, from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the 37th overall pick.
"We went in trying to get the best players available," Yorke said. "It wasn't so much about need but it was more looking at where the game is going. We're talking about speed and skill and compete."
Rees had 20 points in 46 games as a rookie in 2017-18 despite missing time with two ankle injuries.
He was healthy at the start of last season but suffered a lacerated kidney in the Sting's third game. He was out for two months and missed 23 games.
"This is definitely the biggest year of hockey in my life and to miss the time that I did was definitely hard, but I got over it," he said. "When I was in, I think I showed myself pretty well."
Rees thanked his parents and his sister for their support not only when he was injured but also throughout his hockey career.
"They were there to make sure I stayed positive," he said. "They were great for me and obviously they've helped me get to where I am today. I wouldn't be here without them."
Rees was the Hurricanes' third selection in the draft and their second from the Ontario Hockey League.
They chose Barrie Colts centre Ryan Suzuki in the first round, 28th overall, and Russian goalie Pyotr Kochetkov in the second round, 36th overall.
Rees and Suzuki were linemates on Canada's gold medal-winning under-18 squad at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup last August.
"We have good chemistry," Rees said. "I'm very excited for this."
Three Sting draft picks were also selected: defenceman Case McCarthy by the New Jersey Devils in the fourth round (118th overall), centre Joshua Nodler by the Calgary Flames in the fifth round (150th overall) and centre Anthony Romano by the Arizona Coyotes in the sixth round (176th overall).
McCarthy played last season with the United States under-18 team. Nodler and Romano were in the United States Hockey League with Fargo and Sioux Falls, respectively.
All three have NCAA commitments – McCarthy to Boston University, Nodler to Michigan State and Romano to Clarkson.

Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, Everlasting joy will be theirs. For I, the LORD, love justice… – Isaiah 61:7-8a
There is an on-going joke at my church about the "double portion" chunk of communion bread we receive from our pastor, that we then feverishly try to chew and swallow so we can sing, as is our tradition, "Bind Us Together." The portion is a bit too big, but the point is made. No one is given crumbs; all are worthy of God's double portion-sized good gift of love and grace.
The quote from Isaiah reminds me of this mouthful and the heartfull I have taken from Gather at the River.
I found a comfortable spot in the center of the last row of the balcony at the Travis Park UMC, so I could take in the diversity of God's kindom* that surely seemed like a foretaste of God's kingdom, which I am reminded is within reach, or right on our doorstep (Luke 10:8-9 MSG). The hope of our faith is that we know the final chapter, the last page, the real good news, and our place as God's dearly loved hand-crafted authentic children! And we know that our LORD loves justice – the kind of generous justice that gives us a job in the vineyard, even as the sun sets and we'd nearly lost all hope of being hired at all. Hired, and as if that was not enough, given the undeserved pay equal to those who had labored for the entire day (Matthew 20).
In regards to my authentic self, knit together by the Creator, I had suspected even before attending Gather at the River, that I was a passionate ally. With a bit more confidence, I am now proud to consider myself among the self-avowed practicing supporters of our LGBTQ siblings struggling, for good reason, in and with The United Methodist Church. I want to be on the margins, where the institutional church has pushed people, and where I believe Jesus is. I want to wade into the river, which feels a little more risky than staying comfortable on the shore. I want to call discrimination in and by the church what it is – the sin of harmful discrimination. I want to remember that John Wesley instructed: "Do no harm." I want to help make the world a better place for my children and the church a place where any of my friends are fully welcomed and fully included. I want my pastor to be free to decide which couples he marries by considering his heart, rather than by considering the Book of Discipline. And I don't want the Spirit-guided decisions of UMC clergy, to put their vocations at risk.
I want to proclaim with my love, that intolerance and hatred are incompatible with Christian teaching.
Perhaps there is a little rainbow stole wearing rabble-rouser in me somewhere, but for the most part, I'm a quiet, emphatic, practically life-long Methodist, who didn't ask for this conviction. Unless by "ask for this," you would consider my heartfelt prayer: "let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God" (credited to Bob Pierce).
That prayer, combined with the stories of those who bravely shared at Gather at the River, have made this my issue. I listened to the stories of those who have not been nurtured and have not found the love and support that I have found in The UMC. I felt their pain, as they described being emotionally brutalized, penalized, and sent running out of traditional ministry and worship services in an effort to protect their deeply wounded hearts and maintain some type of love for God and neighbor. My eyes were opened and my heart was broken, as the beloved children of God described "hiding" in less visible positions outside church, such as in hospice care or chaplaincy, or being told that their ministry was "not needed."
If I truly love God, I cannot sit idly by while God's heart continues to be broken and God's LGBTQ children, created in the Divine's own image, continue to be humiliated, shamed, and traumatized by the institutional church.
At Gather at the River, I reaffirmed my baptismal covenant, recommitting myself to "accept the freedom and power God gives" me "to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves." Our United Methodist LGBTQ siblings feel oppressed by our church and are harmed by discriminatory language, policy, words, attitudes, and actions. The Jesus I know and love, came to heal, restore, and repair brokenness. May we find the power to do the same. The verses and stories, I've heard all my life resonate with a new clarity–they will know we are Christians by our love and by our fruits. May we risk loving God and each other, with our hearts wide open. May we honestly examine the fruits that we produce.
May we show all God's children the double-portion sized love and grace of God that we seek for ourselves.
*"kindom" denotes a world in which we are related, as kin in God, working to build relationships of love, peace, and justice with all of creation (credited to Jan Richardson, Sacred Journeys).

Greatland Gold PLC (LON:GGP) has signed a farm-in agreement with Newcrest Mining LTD (ASX:NCM) for the further advancement of the Havieron project in the Paterson region of Western Australia.
Additionally, during the farm-in period, Newcrest will have the first right of refusal over the remainder of Greatland's Paterson project, including Black Hills, Paterson Range East and the remaining areas of Havieron licence.
Newcrest has the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in Havieron by spending up to US$65mln and completing a series of exploration and development milestones in a four-stage farm-in over six years.
After meeting the milestones, Newcrest has the option to acquire an additional 5% interest at fair market value taking Newcrest's interest in the Farm-in to 75%.
Newcrest will act as Manager during the Farm-in period and it is expected that drilling at Havieron will recommence in April 2019, under Newcrest's management and at Newcrest's expense.
The current intention of both parties is that, subject to a positive feasibility study outcome, the ore from the proposed Havieron Joint Venture will be toll processed at Newcrest's Telfer gold mine, approximately 45 kilometres to the west of Havieron.
"We are delighted to welcome Newcrest as our chosen partner for accelerating the exploration and development of Havieron," said Greatland chief executive Gervaise Heddle.
"We believe that this deal represents a win-win for both parties due to the potential for significantly reduced capital costs and increased efficiency resulting from ore being toll processed at Newcrest's nearby Telfer mine. Moreover, Newcrest's expertise should help fast track Havieron through to a completed Feasibility Study and, subject to positive outcomes, into production."

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew 25:40-44 (King James Bible)
Saved? Think Again!
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 2Corinthians 13:5
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:13-15
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. Romans 10:9-12

Quick post this week again – sorry! I've just started at Erddig, a few miles across the Welsh border near Wrexham, for a six-week book cataloguing project. I hope to continue blogging about items in the Hatfield collection, but also to post a few images from this National Trust property in due course.
This is a property I've never visited before, so it's a great opportunity to explore a new (to me) book collection and to delve into the reading interests of another family. Like Calke Abbey, Erddig was owned by a succession of increasingly eccentric country squires, who were reluctant to introduce mod cons or to throw anything away. Throw into the mix some serious subsidence caused by coal mining and you can imagine the enormous task the National Trust faced when it took on the property in 1973. With the hand-over also came the stipulation that every object should remain in the house.
One of the fascinating aspects of Erddig is the wealth of information still in existence about the servants employed by the Yorkes. Philip Yorke I (1743-1804) composed little verses on some of the people in his service to go along with their painted portraits, commissioned at the same time. The estate archives, now deposited in the Flintshire Record Office, also hold a good record of their names and occupations.
Unfortunately, the library survey undertaken initially by Julian Roberts (Emeritus Keeper of Printed Books at the Bodleian) and updated by the NT Libraries Curator Mark Purcell in 2003 didn't unearth the existence of a servants' library of the kind found for example at Cragside. A single book, a collection of short stories written around 1918, bears the inscription that it is not to be removed from the Housekeeper's Room.
When Louisa Yorke (1863-1951), 2nd wife of Philip Yorke II of Erddig, wrote this inscription and why, I have no idea. It is also impossible to know if she'd read the book herself and decided to pass it on to the housekeeper or if her directions had some other purpose. The main collection in the Library and the books in the Chapel have been catalogued and can be accessed via COPAC. My job over the next few weeks is to make a start with the books spread out over the rest of the public areas of the house, before moving on to those kept in the stores.

By joining UTZ, farmers receive the support and knowledge they need to improve their agricultural practices and increase productivity. And that means better yields of higher quality crops – great for farmers, buyers and consumers. But environmental factors can have a big impact on productivity too – and that's why protecting nature and a better environment are key parts of the UTZ program.
A coffee farmer from Dakman Vietnam Ltd stated that:
Before UTZ certification, farmers used to apply pesticides widely and uncontrolled agrochemicals. As a result, important insects such as ants disappeared; the environment was polluted causing bad effects for the people and the community.
Environmental factors such as pollution from pesticides and other chemicals can have a big impact on agricultural productivity, while climate change brings increased temperatures, and more droughts and storms that can affect water supplies, increase pests and diseases, damage plants and cause soil erosion – all bad news for farmers.
So that's why, when a farmer joins UTZ he or she learns how to protect the environment around the farm and also how to adapt the farm and agricultural practices to a changing climate.
The results can be significant, as a recent study among coffee farmers in Colombia showed – UTZ farmers were found to be more resilient to the effects of climate change and other environmental factors, with non-UTZ farmers experiencing more negative impacts.
Don't forget we have plenty of stories and quotes from UTZ coffee, cocoa and tea farmers, which provide great input for your communication.

"The world is going to see a huge supply of decommissioned commercial aircraft available for recycling," said Martin Erhardt, Rector of Pforzheim University, Germany. And asked: "But how do you recycle a jumbo jet or an Airbus A-380?" The First European Aircraft Recycling Symposium in December 2013 at Stuttgart gave answers.
What goes up, must come down: "More than 25 per cent of the current civilian aircraft fleet will be decommissioned in the coming 15 years, creating a total potential of about half a million tonnes of highly valuable materials and a multi-million Euro business," Professor Jörg Woidasky, Pforzheim University, explained in his introductory speech. Annually 400 to 450 airliners from commercial aviation will be decommissioned, not to mention regional, military, and general aviation aircraft. According to the figures, there will be 13.000 commercial end-of-live aircrafts to be put out of service in the next 20 years. However, there are two opposing trends: As the service span of aircraft is in some cases dropping for economic reasons, it can – on the other hand – be extended remarkably by refurbishment after 10.000 to 15.000 flight cycles. The decision is made on a case-to-case basis.
Material recycling, said Woidasky, is no reason for the end of life activities of an aircraft: Not more than 100.000 Euro for the revenues for structural and other materials are to be expected. So – in terms of the waste management regulation – the re-use of parts is necessary. Including checking, cleaning, or repairing recovery operations, this "preparation for re-use" is of second highest priority in the European Union's waste hierarchy. But of course recycling of aircraft`s waste material is possible as well, excluding energy recovery and reprocessable materials like fuels …

Counterpoint as a principle of creativity: Extracting divergent modifiers from 'The Art of Fugue' by Johann Sebastian Bach
The main message carried by this article is that counterpoint can be taken as a model approach for the introduction of contrasting elements, not only in musical composition but also in the generation of ideas in any domain of knowledge. We start by an interdisciplinary review about the power of opposite concepts as constituting elements in nature. This is followed by the description of the DIMAI model for creative thinking, which is founded upon the dual forces of convergent and divergent thinking modalities. The main body of our work is an extraction of divergent modifiers from the Contrapunctus composed by Bach and collected in the Art of Fugue, with simple examples of application to the diversified fields of education and computer science.

Driving Sober Matters—During the Holidays, and Every Day
The holidays are a special time for families, friends, and co-workers to come together for celebrations and merrymaking. With the extra partying comes the potential for increased drunk driving, as some partygoers fail to responsibly plan for a sober driver. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, along with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), want to make sure this holiday season is a safe one. This is why we are partnering with law enforcement across Oklahoma and the nation for the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over enforcement campaign, running from December 13 - 11:59 p.m. January 1 this year.
With the support of law enforcement agencies across the nation, the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over message will reach millions of drivers. More importantly, it will prevent crashes and injuries, and it will help save lives.
Why Enforcement Matters
In 2017, there were 324 people killed in alcohol and/or drug-related crashes in Oklahoma. To put it in perspective, that's equal to two fully loaded 737-800 jets crashing, with no survivors. While we see some fluctuation in numbers from year to year, drunk driving is still a nationwide epidemic. The holiday season proves to be an especially dangerous time on the roads, as people are attending more office parties and holiday gatherings than usual, with some party-goers making the horrible decision to drink and drive. In fact, according to NHTSA, 885 people lost their lives in traffic crashes involving a drunk driver during the month of December 2017 in the U.S. It is important that those considering driving after drinking know that there are deadly consequences to their actions.
Drunk driving isn't the only risk on the road: Among several others, drug-impaired driving is an increasing problem on Oklahoma's roads. For the first time in history, 2017 saw more drug-related fatality crashes than alcohol-related crashes. If drivers are impaired by any substance—alcohol or drugs—they should not get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Driving while impaired is illegal, period.
Multiple Checkpoints Planned Across Oklahoma To Combat Drug-Impaired Driving
DUI checkpoints planned for New Year's Eve
OHP preparing to keep streets save during New Years
Law enforcement focuses on drunk driving over holiday weekend
Safety tips for New Year's Eve
Pott. County checkpoints and saturation patrols set for New Year's

Soya bean is a type of legume native to eastern Asia; it is one of the most widely consumed foods in the world.
The beans are multi-useful for human health, and they are quite easy to cultivate.
Below are some health benefits of soya bean
Reduces Type 2 diabetes risk
Soya bean helps in the prevention and management of Type 2 diabetes, primarily because it has the ability to increase insulin receptors in the body, thereby helping to manage the disease effectively or prevent it from occurring in the first place.
Aids digestion
The fibre content naturally present in soya bean helps to bulks up your stool, making it move through your digestive system smoothly. Fibre also stimulates peristaltic motion, which is the contraction of the smooth muscles that pushes food through your system.
Fibre is vital to our bodies because constipation can be a very serious condition that can lead to more serious conditions, including colorectal cancer.
Lowers risk of breast cancer
The levels of antioxidants in soya bean makes it good for preventing the onset of various cancers. Soya contains phytoestrogens, a chemical found in plant foods.
Menopause relief
During menopause, the body's natural production of oestrogen drops significantly and symptoms may ensue.
Soya bean is a very good source of isoflavones, which are essential components of the female reproductive system.
Isoflavones are able to bind to oestrogen receptor cells, so the body doesn't feel as though it is going through such a dramatic decrease. This can ease many of the symptoms of menopause, such as mood swings, hot flashes, and hunger pains.
Lowers cholesterol level
Experimental studies have shown that soya protein isolates tend to lower cholesterol levels while protein from animal sources can raise cholesterol levels.
Soya bean also contains compounds called phytosterols. These plant compounds are structurally similar to cholesterol and steroid hormones. They function to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol by blocking absorption sites.
The soya bean has been transformed into a number of popular soya based foods including: Miso – a fermented soya bean paste that is used as a flavouring, popular in Asian cuisine. It is a good source of many minerals.
Tempeh – an Indonesian speciality typically made by cooking and dehulling soya beans and forming a textured, solid 'cake'. It is a very good source of protein, B vitamins and minerals.
Tofu – (also known as bean curd) is made from soya milk by coagulating the soya proteins with calcium or magnesium salts. It is an excellent source of iron and calcium and a very good source of protein.

Where can I get a free operating system to replace windows XP?
Where can I get a free operating system to replace windows XP?
Depending on your hardware, you may want to only consider Linux distros that don't use the heavier desktop environments such as KDE, Gnome, MATE, and Cinnamon. Look for LXDE, xfce or Enlightenment instead as they will provide better responsiveness on older hardware.
Or, thinking outside the box, buy a new PC, and Windows 8 will come with it (free / included).
If your computer is still using Windows XP, you'll see a huge increase in speed if you buy a new computer.
I'm hybrid user have used both linux and the windows platforms currently sticking with win8 'cos it's nice but for you I don recommend Linux Mint ( http://www.linuxmint.com/ ) this distribution is based on ubuntu linux which is the most user friendly distribution on the world of linux.
Linux Mint have the same similarities when it comes to the interface what linux mint has done taken ubuntu linux stable and cutting edge distribution and made it more user friendly.
This OS is very stable and when you need any help you can ask in the mint forum as well as in the Ubuntu forum.
You can find a comprehensive list of Linux distributions at http://distrowatch.com/. The vast majority of them are free (and the description will tell you if they're not).

These whimsical Elf Inspired cupcakes are easy cupcakes for kids to make and decorate. They will remind everyone of the joy of being a kid. The best part – you really only need to bake the cupcakes and set them on the table with a bunch of toppings in a bowl and company, or kids, can do the rest of the work.
What's your favourite Christmas movie? One of mine is Elf. I am a sucker for movies with Will Ferrell. Yes, I know he's a big goofball and it's not highbrow humour by any stretch at all. BUT it's funny, like fall on the ground laughing comedy at moments. That's why I love these kid's cupcakes.
What's Your Favourite Elf Movie Scene?
So if you have seen the Elf movie, what's one standout scene? For me, it's the spaghetti scene. You know when Buddy The Elf dumps all the candy on his spaghetti. That makes me laugh out loud because it is ridiculous. These Elf Inspired Cupcakes evoke that scene and that fun, childish, spirit that permeates the entire movie.
Silly Lines
Son of a Nutcracker! Memorable lines from this movie are not hard to find at all. "You sit on a throne of lies." My daughters often use that one when being silly or commenting on someone who is being deceptive. Actually they say it so much it is comical and yet I had almost forgotten it came from this movie.
There are a lot of cute scenes too with the adorable costar and romantic love interest Zooey Deschanel. And she's another reason I love this movie. She is just plain adorable and quirky. So in honour of how much I love this movie here is my Elf movie inspired cupcakes recipe. These are sweet and easy cupcakes for kids to make or at least help decorate.
Elf Inspired Cupcakes
These colourful and sweet Elf inspired easy cupcakes for kids to make are perfect for a movie night or a wrapping party. Perfect too for a class Christmas bake sale or party.
In fact, these cupcakes have kids written all over them! They are meant to be hands on and fun, not perfect and Instagrammable. Just silly and sweet, like the movie.
Get the Kids Involved Decorating
So, bake these cupcakes up then set aside and let cool. Have all the toppings set aside in bowls and on the table for kids to use when decorating. Then let them each decorate one how they want to. It's a fun way to get them interested in helping with the treats they serve for a party or the treats they share with family.
Something like this can also work well Christmas Eve when family is gathered and kids are looking for things to do. Placing all of the decorating materials on a kitchen or dining room table then allowing them to personalize their cupcakes can make for happy sugarplum dreams later that night.

Chicken Paillards with Fresh Greens and Beans
Posted by Recipe Sleuth under New Finds
[2] Comments
A paillard is a cut of meat that is thinly sliced or pounded to an even thickness and then quickly cooked. This recipe from the August 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living suggests slicing boneless, skinless chicken breasts in half horizontally. I didn't think that would work, so I pounded them flat between two pieces of plastic wrap and it worked just fine. The chicken paillards are then rubbed with oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and topped with sage leaves before being quickly grilled or sautéed.
The chicken is served with a lovely mélange of mixed greens tossed with beans that have been blanched and sautéed with prosciutto, onion and red-wine vinegar.
This is a very quick tasty summer weeknight meal that is also a good way to use the sage, beans and lettuce from your garden.
To avoid additives and preservatives in this recipe, use red-wine vinegar that does not have sulfites added and a naturally cured ham that does not contain nitrates or nitrites.
8 oz. green and/or yellow beans, sliced lengthwise on the bias
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced horizontally or pounded flat
Olive oil
8 sage leaves
4 oz. dry-cured ham, finely chopped
½ slice red onion
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
3 cups lettuce or mixed greens
Steam or boil beans until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Rub paillards with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Top each with 2 sage leaves. Sauté in a skillet or grill over high heat for 3 minutes. Flip paillards and top each with 2 more sage leaves. Continue cooking until they are done, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to a platter and let rest, covered loosely with foil. Heat 1 tbsp oil in the skillet over high heat and cook ham for one minute. Add red onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add red-wine vinegar, stir in beans. Toss with lettuce and serve over paillards. Serves 2.
From the August 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Living
2 Responses to " Chicken Paillards with Fresh Greens and Beans "
I spied this recipe in that issue of Martha Stewart Living too! Unfortunately I gave it away without making it. Thank you for re-posting it here. Perfect, summery and delicious.
I'd need to pick up fresh sage but otherwise, I have all those ingredients at home!

Real Media Press Release:
Award winning investigative journalist Nafeez Ahmed is among those speaking at the Real Media gathering in Manchester on Saturday 28th February.
The event will run from 11am to 5pm at the Friends' Meeting House, Mount Street.
The Real Media gathering is bringing together over 30 independent publications and organisations to provide a day of discussions, workshops, film and theatre challenging mass media distortion and campaigning for public interest journalism.
Media campaign groups such as the Media Reform Coalition and the Campaign for Press and Broadcast Freedom will be discussing the role of the media with national publications like Red Pepper and New Internationalist as well as local publications and journalists.
Real Media has been set up by Real Fare, a project that aims to challenge myths about the welfare system.
"One of the major obstacles to being able to have an honest conversation about welfare or immigration is the mass media and how they cover the issue," says Drew Rose of Real Media and The Bristol Cable.
In the run up to the general election, the Real Media gathering hopes to provide an opportunity to discuss the concentrated ownership of the mass media, the way in which it frames the public debate through lack of coverage of issues such as inequality, corporate power, fracking and privatisation, and often misleading or largely negative stories on topics such as immigration and welfare.
Dominant narratives in the media can contribute to misconceptions. A 2013 survey by Ipsos MORI highlighted a number of gaps between public perception and reality on topics including immigration, teenage pregnancy and the religious and ethnic make up of the UK.
Samantha Asumadu, a speaker at the event and founder of Media Diversified, a platform which seeks to cultivate and promote skilled writers of colour, says: "I couldn't think of a more ideal time than now for a gathering of independent media outlets and creative thinkers.
"The behemoth that is the mass media has not served the people's interests for far too long. Let's talk and plan and then act."
Jamie Kelsey-Fry, contributing editor to New Internationalist magazine, will also be speaking. He says: "The time is ripe for a new platform of credible alternative media outlets that can make the corporate owned mainstream obsolete and show it for what it is, the servant to a system that is unjust, undemocratic, unsustainable and broken."
Real Media are also planning an anti-Daily Mail week of action from 13th – 20th March and will be launching a new website in April to aggregate independent news from the UK.
The public can purchase tickets for the conference on a sliding-scale basis through the website or at the venue on the day.
Any enquiries can be sent to [email protected]

Cloud Expo Asia, the largest and most prestigious cloud computing event in Asia, is committed to providing the latest technology and business solutions for the digital transformation of the enterprise. Attendees this year included international giants, among them, Microsoft, Amazon, Alibaba, Citrix, Singtel, Huawei, JD.com, Fujitsu and NEC as well as many innovative startups.
"Cloud computing is giving new value to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain," Mr. Chan said during his speech. "What Ping An Technology is doing is democratizing technologies and working to build a better world." The technologies developed by Ping An Technology have become a part of daily life that people rely on, ranging from payment and asset management to health management.
For example, he said, in the field of intelligent cognition, Ping An Technology has formed three technological matrices. Intelligent cognition technologies represented by facial recognition, voiceprint recognition and micro-expression have been applied in more than 200 scenarios, including community security, educational testing, social services, financial risk control, agriculture and livestock farming, and healthcare. In workplace scenarios, Ping An Technology uses facial recognition technology to help verify the identities of visitors to office buildings, promoting digital building management in communities as well as in the educational and building management sectors. Recently, based on the advanced original facial recognition technology, Ping An Technology achieved another breakthrough in its algorithms, by upping and reallocating computing power to upgrade the Ping An π intelligent door access system,that established the technology's dominant position in the market.
In the field of medical technology, Ping An Technology has been on a fast development track. The application of disease prediction systems based on artificial intelligence and big data in Shenzhen for flu monitoring can predict the anticipated progress of the disease one week in advance, with the accuracy rate at the peak of the outbreak surpassing 90%. At present, the research and development of the model has been gradually evolving from the prediction of the spread of an illness within a group to accurate prediction for individuals. To cite an example, the model can collect data as about an individual's living habits and medical records, and, within five minutes, deliver the prediction results for five types of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
Regarding building smart cities, Ping An Technology has entered into a collaboration with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to enable real-time exchanges of trade and financing information through the blockchain. By doing so, both parties can gradually build and access applications around supply chain finance, credit tokenization and online payment, with the goal of ultimately jointly building an open cross-border trade financing platform.
Mr. Chan noted that Ping An Technology now focuses on the construction of an ecosystem that brings together three scenarios: finance, healthcare and the smart city. The ecosystem, with applications for China's domestic market as the core element, will gradually cover the whole of Asia. Currently, Ping An Cloud has more than 500 million online users. All these scenarios are based on a reliable and stable Ping An Cloud. Today, Ping An Cloud has obtained nine Chinese and foreign security certifications, and is among the cloud providers with the highest security level in the financial sector. With the implementation of its cloud-oriented strategy for products and services, Ping An Technology will continue to open up more technologies and services to the outside world, and, benefiting from its own thought leadership that it has named "All in the Cloud", focus on building an open ecology of technology and business capacities with Ping An Cloud as the core.
Mr. Fang, the company CTO and chief architect, said in his speech that cloud computing is the underlying infrastructure that Internet businesses rely on for survival and development, and that the battle for dominance in cloud computing is expected to become one of the principle areas of competition between the world's leaders in the Internet sector. In keeping up with the latest trends, Ping An Technology has always been one step ahead. In terms of the deployment of Ping An Cloud, Ping An Technology has taken its first step, forming what it refers to as the "3+1" model covering internal, public, proprietary and private cloud solutions, and creating a beachhead in terms of applications in security compliance, autonomous control, elastic computing, virtualization and other technological areas. He noted that Ping An Cloud will, based on already established advantages and by integrating existing products and services, create a one-stop platform for availability and delivery of its products and services, with five key capabilities and the finance, healthcare and the smart city as the core target markets.
Mr. Fang described the process as "a unique journey to unlock the value of the cloud". With cloud computing as a modus operandi sweeping across the globe, it has become the common destiny of many companies all over the world to embrace and cater to the trend. What Ping An Technology has set out to do is to be the leader and not the follower, and to unlock the huge power that cloud computing gives enterprises as the global economy reaches the next inflection point.
Ping An Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ping An Group, is committed to using AI, intelligent cognition, blockchain, cloud and other cutting-edge technologies to create a new cloud-based life for people. As a subsidiary, Ping An Technology is the high-tech core and tech business incubator within Ping An Group, and is responsible for the development and operation of the critical platforms and services for the group. As an independent entity, Ping An Technology strategizes with smart technology and manufacturing to focus on healthcare, finance, and smart city areas. Ping An Technology is dedicated to implementing the corporate philosophy of "technology changes life" by applying the international certificated technological capabilities to actual business scenarios.
More than 10,000 IT professionals and management experts form a high-level R&D force that provide expert-level technical support for the stable and reliable operation of the platform. The established cloud ecosystem has already been accessed by over 500 million internet users, and has been expanded into overseas markets, including the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong as well as other countries and regions.
SOURCE Ping An Technology
SINGAPORE, /PRNewswire/ — The development of cloud computing has dramatically expanded the development space and imagination of the network technology. An increasing number of businesses in China are willing to tell the world China's cloud computing strategy. The 2018 Cloud Expo Asia was held in Singapore on , with the top management of more than 350 leading cloud computing providers, including Ping An Technology CEO Ericson Chan and CTO Guowei Fang. Chan and Fang both gave speeches about cloud computing's unique value under the trend of digitalizing.

Ask any Italian if they'd ever put a pasta dish into a wrap and they'd give you the evil eye… This is Dan from Primal4Life, bringing you "Paleo Noodles alla Carbonara", and I'm enjoying it in the ever so wonderful Paleo Wrap! Rachel discovered this lovely recipe in the Beyond Bacon cookbook, and we decided to change things up a tad, per usual! But we are sticking to most of Stacy and Matthew's original recipe. Don't worry, the bacon makes the cut!
So Rachel began this one with some organic nitrate free bacon, frying up in a skillet with medium heat. Ever since I got messed up from antibiotics a couple years ago and acquired the nasty "Leaky Gut", I've learned the importance of true organic foods as well as nitrate free bacon. It's a must in my book, as well as in Beyond Bacon, because cheap bacon just ain't good for ya! I know I feel horrible if I don't get a good cut of bacon and cheap out, so I don't mess around anymore. And the same applies with everything else I put in my body…. Hence the reason why we shop at Julian Bakery. If I lived near their actual bakery, I'd have a VIP pass and I'd be there every day… but until we officially move cross country, I'll stick to ordering online…. No worries, because we haven't had any issues; they do a wonderful job getting my shipments to me promptly and safely.
Next we add in some arrowroot with the bacon grease, and then in another bowl we combine some seasonings, some Sunfood Super Foods Fine Himalayan Salt for some of the best salts around, some coconut milk and eggs. Just as I previously mentioned, we get our eggs from the farm…. I like to know where my food comes from, and locally raised eggs are a must for me.
- 1 Paleo Wrap (per person)
- ¾ lb bacon
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 6 eggs
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried marjoram
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp Himalayan Salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Paleo Butter
- 1 tbsp fresh flat leaf Italian parsley, chopped
- 4 bags Paleo Pasta
1) Fry strips of bacon (whole) in a large skillet over medium heat.
2) When bacon is finished cooking and crispy, remove it from the pan and set it aside on a plate or rack covered with a towel. This will allow the fat to be absorbed and crisp the bacon further.
3) Over medium heat, whisk the arrowroot powder into the bacon grease, and cook for 2 minutes.
4) While the arrowroot cooks, combine the coconut milk, eggs, basil, oregano, marjoram, parsley, Himalayan Salt, and garlic powder in a bowl using a whisk. Continue mixing until all yolks are fully incorporated.
5) Pour the eggs into the bacon pan, and cook, stirring frequently, in the bacon fat until the eggs are still wet but cooked through, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl to stop cooking. (Do not overcook the eggs, or it will no longer be a creamy sauce).
6) Slice the bacon into ½" strips, and add the bacon to the egg mixture.
7) Boil water, and when you have a rolling boil, boil your Paleo Pasta for 1-2 minutes, strain and rinse.
8) Add Paleo Noodles to serving bowl, tossing them with the Paleo Butter until it is fully melted.
9) Add the egg and bacon mixture to the Paleo Noodles in the serving bowl.
10) Add Italian parsley to the bowl, and toss to combine all ingredients before serving.
11) Plate on Paleo Wrap, and "mangia!"
TIME: 20-30 Minutes
Up next, Paleo Pasta! This is probably another opportunity for the true Italian to get upset, outraged, and insulted… But once we learned that Paleo Noodles doesn't have gluten, grains, soy, and still will fill you up (even though it's zero calorie and zero carb!), attitudes may change. I've been enjoying Paleo Noodles, Paleo Fettuccini, and even Paleo Rice for quite some time now, and this Italian isn't insulted in any way, shape or form. I'm just happy to enjoy a pasta again, without a headache tagging along!
Mix everything together, add some Paleo Butter for that smooth, creamy finish without lactose, and we have a winning dish. But wait, there's more! I get my Paleo Wrap out, and we seal the deal… I am in love with these heavenly coconut masterpieces, where I can stuff, top off, load up, and dump just about anything onto. They hold a bunch of food, they are portable, durable, tasty, low in cal's and have just four net carbs! Plus, GMO-free and organic is a must, and they are just that!
In order to make this one, you'll need to take a visit to Julian Bakery… Online, at the store, or at a local vendor; but whichever you choose, know that you are getting quality Paleo products that will keep you healthy, happy, and strong like an Italian Stallion! Thanks for taking a few minutes out of your precious day to review my Paleo food blog, I hope you enjoyed it and decide to try this meal out… And please come back for more healthy yet tasty dishes!

Local communities and heritage organisations across Scotland are to be involved in a major new project: Scotland's Rock Art in Context: Placement, re-placement and engagement.
Local communities and heritage organisations across Scotland are to be involved in a major new project: Scotland's Rock Art in Context: Placement, re-placement and engagement. For more on Scotland's past, read our archaeology features.
Historic Environment Scotland has been awarded £807,000 by the Arts & Humanities Research Council to carry out the project, which will focus on Scotland's Neolithic Rock Art - with over 2,000 rocks with 'cup and ring' carvings to explore. The carvings, thought to date from the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (c.4,000-2,000 BC), form part of a broader European rock art tradition. Their purpose and significance to prehistoric and more recent communities is currently poorly understood, something the project hopes to address.
Project leaders hope to generate a digital database of Scottish rock art, including 2D and 3D models. The database will be used to inform a detailed, contextual analysis of the carvings, and to address key research questions.
Rebecca Bailey, who led the grant application for Historic Environment Scotland, said: 'We are absolutely delighted to have secured our first very substantial research grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project will be a co-production between our expert staff, academic partners and community groups, in keeping with our vision that the historic environment is understood, shared and enjoyed by everyone. We look forward to the teams getting out into the field, making new discoveries, generating new knowledge, and sharing that on an international stage.'
The five-year project will be launched in early 2017, and will be led for HES by Principal Investigator Dr Tertia Barnett, who spoke to History Scotland about the project: 'This is a very exciting opportunity to improve our understanding and awareness of Scotland's prehistoric rock carvings. We are looking forward to working with local people across the country to explore what the carvings may have meant to people in the past, and what they mean to us today.'
Co-investigators from Edinburgh University and Glasgow School of Art will also be involved, with project partners Archaeology Scotland, Kilmartin Museum, and the North of Scotland Archaeology Society.

Startup Profile: Publiseer, a digital publishing platform that helps artists and authors publish their work for free
Many talented Nigerian authors and artists encounter problems getting their works published. The process is usually tedious and unaffordable. But worry no more. A Lagos-based startup founded by two Nigerian brothers, Chidi Nwaogu and Chika Nwaogu is providing a solution to this problem. Their startup, Publiseer is a free digital publishing platform that was launched on April 8th, 2017, and helps Nigerian authors and artists sell their products across over 400 major online stores worldwide, including Amazon, Google Play Store, and Apple Store for free. Publiseer's Co-founder, Chidi Nwaogu describes their drive in one statement;
Our mission is to sell the creativity of Nigerians to the rest of the world, and to promote the beautiful Nigerian culture through written words (books) and spoken words (music).
How Publiseer Works
When an author or artist sends in their work to Publiseer, it gets reviewed by the passionate and dedicated Publiseer team and a decision is made whether it will be accepted for publishing. It takes less than five working days for the team to reach a decision.
If it is accepted, the author or artist gets notified of the decision to publish their work. Then, the author or artist can begin marketing and promotional activities to create awareness for their product. However, if the work is rejected, Publiseer works to re-format the book and re-master the song so that it meets their quality standard.
Publiseer also provides services to help the authors and artists with marketing their work, and to skip the standard two-weeks delay in publishing their work at very affordable prices. Their revenue is generated through a 25% percent share in revenue from the sale of the artist or author's work.
Publiseer's competitive advantage over competitors such as BookBaby and CDBaby is the quality digital publishing service that they offer for free. If you're an artist or an author who would like to use their service, you can contact them through their website.
