Our Story
The Brisbane Sporting Dog Club began in October 1989 when 12 dog owners came together to train in Dogsport.
Ten foundation members headed for Adelaide where the first Dogsport trial was held with 5 dogs and 1 bitch.
All entered the trial with the simple hopes of passing .
The outcome: Of 6 dogs entered, 4 qualified for SchH1
These 4 dog-handler teams placed 1st , 3rd , 4th and 5th of 17 dogs entered
The 1st placed Schutzhund I also placed 2nd overall – only 1 point behind the SchH3 dog that was overall winner
These results, while competing against far more established clubs from all over Australia, proved that the foundation members had emerged as trainers in their own right.
Of note, the first ever Schutzhund III titles to be awarded in the state of Queensland went to 3 B.S.D.C. members in 1994.
The club's first trial was held in August 1991, and the club continues to promote and support the sport in Australia, regularly hosting internationally respected trainers from Europe, USA & Canada for seminars, workshops and trials, many of which are open to interested parties from within the wider canine community.
A majority decision by club members at a general meeting held in 2001 saw B.S.D.C. join with the national association of Australian United Sportdog Clubs inc. (AUSC now changed to WGSDCA Working German Shepherd & Dogsport Clubs of Australasia Inc). The WGSDCA has clubs spread across 4 states of Australia and New Zealand giving our sport true national representation.Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?

May the wors be with you
Good Morning
With the independence celebrations in USA, there is quite a few challenges on patriotism and using the colours in your flag. Luckily, our flag in South Africa(see side bar), have 6 colours to play with, so mine is a quite colourful. I broke away from the more traditional animal kind of cards and focused on probably the one thing we all have in common in our diverse country and that is fire. We, love fire, cooking on fire - like barbecues (or as we call it: Braai or just making a pot of food (potjiekos)) or just making a fire to stare into it for the ambience, there is nothing in comparison than a fire in the bushveld with a lion's roar in the distance. In the more rural areas they make fire to keep warm as well. In South Africa, barbecue is not just limited to summertime, like in the northern hemisphere, but we can do it all year round and it is so part of our heritage that when you invite people for dinner, it is presumed that it will be for a braai.
The digi is from Di's Digis and I've used water pencils to coloured it. Backing paper is from the stack DCWV - One for the boys and the striped paper is from DOCrafts, that I have received with a magazine. The bright yellow diecut resembles an upcoming sun , and represent my province in South Africa - Mpumalanga - that means the upcoming sun. Buttons and ribbon is from my stash. The sentiment is a local best wish: "May the sausage(wors) be with you"

After all that hard work and dedication, the film is finally completed. Murphy's law kicked in on the final day before it was due, of course. Many lights burnt out, a fuse blew out, I nearly burned down the kitchen… oh it was a wonderful thing. One after another. Anyway, here you have it–a few screenshots of the film. The film will be shown during Animation Finals at San Francisco State University. It's open to the public on the 16th of May at 3pm in the Coppola Theatre. Section H-6, in the Fine Arts building on the first floor. All is welcome!
Tada! Now you really want to come out and see it after these awesome screenshots!

How much access is too much in VT killings?
Faithful readers know that sometimes I love to not only tackle sports-related issues, but as a former journalist I often also like to tackle issues related to the media and its role in American society.
The killings at Virginia Tech provided a flashpoint event this week that raises a lot of quesitons about how to cover an event such as this. They happen so infrequently -- and the technology changes so rapidly -- that media outlets have to make many important decisions on the fly without a lot of precedent to refer to.
A big decision was faced -- and continues to be faced -- by NBC with regards to the video the killer sent them immediately before going on his rampage. What to do with it? How to handle it? Those decisions were made early on, and with them NBC gained a fair amount of criticism.
Now, the question remains: Should it be released in its entirety on the Internet?
Many argue that this is precisely what the killer wanted, and that we're providing a blueprint for potential copycat killers who want their stories to be heard. But at least one media blogger -- Jeff Jarvis at BuzzMachine.com -- thinks the world should be able to make the choice of whether to view it, saying "that horse is already out of that barn." I have a hard time disagreeing.
The essential infrastructure of news and media has changed forever: There is no control point anymore. When anyone and everyone — witnesses, criminals, victims, commenters, officials, and journalists — can publish and broadcast as events happen, there is no longer any guarantee that news and society itself can be filtered, packaged, edited, sanitized, polished, secured.
Like it or not, that's the way it is. But before we start wringing our hands over the unique, one-in-a-billion exception to all rules — the mass murderer with a camera — let's make sure we remember that this openness is a great and good change. It enables us all have a voice and to hear new voices.
In other words, the greater good outweighs the potential negatives in this specific case. I tend to agree.

LinksElectrical Units
Fixed System FAQ
Data Sheet
An aerosol generator is a self contained extinguishing unit that contains an aerosol forming compound which, during a controlled combustion process within the generator, produces an ultra-fine aerosol extinguishing agent that is significantly more effective than currently available alternatives. The units are constructed of stainless steel components, are listed for both area and volumetric coverage, and require no piping, nozzles, or other distribution equipment. In effect, the generator acts as its own storage, production and delivery device.
No. The units are designed for single use only. After discharge turn around time is minimized as re-connection of a new generator is quickly and easily accomplished.
A highly stable solid charge of the aerosol forming composition is contained within the sealed generator. Upon activation of the initiator, the charge begins a controlled burn producing an ultra-fine aerosol, which is ten times as effective as any agent currently on the market. The effective aerosol passes through a series of oxidation and cooling filters, where the temperature of the aerosol is rapidly reduced before it escapes through the discharge ports of the generator at low pressure. Generator placement within the hazard area provides proper flow and distribution of the highly effective aerosol within the protected volume.
No, oxygen levels are not affected.
Unlike other agents that work by reducing oxygen levels or by cooling, the aerosol extinguishes by chemical interaction with the free radicals that fuel the growth of the fire in the same manner as halon did. The aerosol stream contains ultra-fine (1-2 micron) particles of potassium compounds that provide a large surface area interaction with the fire. In the fire zone the free potassium radicals bind with the free radicals of the fire (O, OH, H) to rapidly slow and extinguish the fire.
Stat-X is extremely effective. Tests on class B fires have shown it to be 5 times more effective than halon and 10+ times more effective than other currently available halon alternatives. This dramatically reduces weight and space requirements.
Stat-X is an aerosol and shares many of the flow characteristics of a gas. It is suitable for use in un-occupied and normally un-occupied enclosed volumes and has the added advantages of extended hold times and less susceptibility to leakage. In addition, Unlike HFC's, which can break down and produce deleterious compounds such as hydrofluoric acid when exposed to elevated temperatures, Stat-X does not break down when exposed to a fire.
Yes. Stat-X has no global warming potential and no ozone depletion potential.
Yes. Stat-X has been approved for sale and use in un-occupied and normally un-occupied spaces by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
Stat-X fire suppression aerosol has been tested on a wide range of materials including structural, aviation composites, and materials commonly used in electronics, and circuit boards. In all cases it has been shown that Stat-X has no deleterious effect on the operating capability of equipment.
Due to the ultra-fine particle size and the method of generation, the particulate is quite buoyant and suspends in the gas/air mixture within the protected enclosure. Because of this "buoyant" effect the aerosol does not begin to "settle" for an extended period and, therefore, is extremely easy to vent from the protected area. Only very minor amounts of particulate may be deposited on equipment and, generally, there is no need to do anything beyond extraction of the air within the protected volume through a fan or air handling system followed by a blow down with compressed air. Any particulate deposited on horizontal surfaces will be ? 2?m and will not form a continuous layer. Large gaps will exist between particles leaving no potential for electrical conductivity issues to develop.
As a precautionary measure, however, it is always good practice to inspect and clean the site thoroughly following a discharge. While the aerosol itself is quite "clean", environmental factors are also a consideration. The unknown, and potentially harmful, by-products of an actual fire pose the biggest risk to sensitive electronic equipment. Because unknown products from the fire itself may be present, it is always recommended that equipment be blown down with air or vacuumed following a discharge to insure that no unwanted by-products from the fire itself are present.
The aerosol, itself, consists of solid and gas combustion products. The solid phase is composed of highly dispersed particles that present insignificant health hazards for humans at normal design concentrations. The gas phase may contain very small amounts of carbon monoxide CO, carbon dioxide CO2, nitrogen oxides NOx, and ammonia NH3. Production of these gases is minimal in the case of Stat-X due to its patented construction, chemical formulation, and its manufacture in the United States using only technical and reagent grade chemicals. In tests conducted by a certified, accredited testing facility in the United States, Stat-X generators were shown to produce gas levels several orders of magnitude less than the standard allowed for automobile airbag systems for passenger vehicles.
While the components of the aerosol are not considered toxic at normal concentration levels, ingestion of the ultra-fine particulate may cause short-term discomfort and unnecessary exposure should be avoided. Exposure to the aerosol is generally of less concern than is exposure to the decomposition products of a fire. Accidental exposures under ten minutes are normally considered safe. There is a high obscuration factor with the aerosol and a 30 second time delay and system lock out switch should be used whenever personnel may be present in the protected space.
The term "clean agent" has traditionally referred to gases. The term itself is inaccurate as all agents may pose post discharge issues. The Stat-X aerosol does contain ultra-fine suspended particulate which is very buoyant and hangs in suspension for extended periods. Because of this, settling is minimal and removal of the aerosol can be accomplished easily by venting. While the aerosol itself is quite "clean", environmental factors are also a consideration. The unknown, and potentially harmful, by-products of an actual fire pose the biggest risk to sensitive equipment. Because unknown products from the fire itself may be present or because of unwanted environmental conditions, it is always recommended that the area is thoroughly cleaned to insure that no unwanted products are present. For example, on site maintenance and housekeeping may have been lax allowing accumulation of dirt in the enclosure. During discharge, any dirt within the enclosure will be blown around and then deposited as unwanted residue throughout the area.
Also, in rare cases, unit orientation may have been altered improperly or equipment may have been re-oriented within the protected enclosure resulting in an improper discharge directly onto a wall or equipment surface. This could result in the deposit of small, localized areas of highly concentrated agglomerated particulate on that surface. If left untended, an agglomerated mass may take on moisture and may cause non-progressive surface discoloration (copper, bronze) of unprotected metal surfaces. It is therefore, important that any agglomerated particulate be cleaned up with a water/alcohol solution no later than 24 hours following a discharge.
Stat-X are designed by trained, certified, and authorized distributors using a computer aided design program that uses data on dimensions, areas of leakage and location of un-closeable openings, fire class, and other factors to arrive at a system tailored to the clients specific requirements. The design methods of calculation are part of our listing.
The generators are small, self-contained, and mounted at ceiling height. They do not take up valuable floor space as conventional systems do.
No. Stat-X systems are extremely cost effective. While actual costs will vary based on the size of the enclosure, leakage, and class of hazard, in general, an installed system will be significantly less expensive than alternatives. This is due to the small amount of agent required and the fact that installation costs are dramatically reduced because of the elimination of distribution manifolds, piping, and nozzles. Stat-X thermal units, where appropriate further reduce costs due to the elimination of detection and releasing devices.
The service life of Stat-X generators is 10 years+.
Stat-X thermal units are suitable for small enclosed spaces such as electronic enclosure, hazmat storage, switchgear cabinets, etc. The units are self contained and utilize a patented thermal detector that is integral to the generator eliminating the need for ancillary detection and releasing devices. Units are available in several temperature settings to insure applicability to the hazard being protected.
Maintenance costs related to the generators themselves are minimal and involve only periodic visual examination of the generators and protected space to insure that the generators have not been damaged and that the system installation and space remains in the same configuration as that originally designed. Electrically activated systems require a regular check of the detection and control system, including all ancillary devices.
Yes. The aerosol extinguishing systems are covered by NFPA 2010 Standard on Aerosol Fire-Extinguishing Systems, 2006 Edition.
Yes. Stat-X is the only condensed aerosol currently listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL). It is also listed/approved by Underwriter's Laboratories of Canada (ULC), the Maritime and Coast Guard Agency (MCA) in UK, CSIRO/ActivFire in Australia, American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), European Control Board (ECB), and many more. In addition, it has been approved for sale by the local AHJ in many areas of the world including Asia, the Pacific Rim, the Middle East, South and Central America, Europe, the United States, and Canada. Other listings around the world are currently in process and will be completed shortly.
Yes. We have had a number of very successful incidents particularly with CNC machines where a relatively small investment in a Stat-X system has saved high value ($250K - $500k) equipment with very minimal downtime. We have also saved high value mining equipment and Stat-X is installed on several thousand military vehicles serving in Afghanistan where reliable fire protection is mission critical.

Outside Audit: BMW Hits Accounting Obstacles
Pension Move Illustrates European Firms' Tasks In Meeting Global Rules
LONDON -- As with its high-end autos, BMW AG has a reputation for quality when it comes to accounting.
So analysts and investors were surprised in January when the German luxury-car maker rolled out changes to the way it treats certain pension-related items. The move -- briefly -- revved up the group's operating-profit margin at a time when investors are worried that the weak dollar will dent the company's future profitability because dollar-based sales are worth less when translated back to euros....

The reproducibility and absolute values of echocardiographic measurements of left ventricular size and function in children are algorithm dependent.
Document Type
Publication Date
PMCID: PMC4426088 DOI: 10.1016/j.echo.2015.01.014
BACKGROUND: Several quantification algorithms for measuring left ventricular (LV) size and function are used in clinical and research settings. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of measurement algorithm and beat averaging on the reproducibility of measurements of the left ventricle and to assess the magnitude of agreement among the algorithms in children with dilated cardiomyopathy.
METHODS: Echocardiograms were obtained in 169 children from eight clinical centers. Inter- and intrareader reproducibility was assessed on measurements of LV volumes using the biplane Simpson, modified Simpson, and 5/6 × area × length (5/6AL) algorithms. Percentage error was calculated as inter- or intrareader difference/mean × 100. Single-beat measurements and the three-beat average (3BA) were compared. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to assess agreement.
RESULTS: Single-beat interreader reproducibility was lowest (percentage error was highest) using biplane Simpson; 5/6AL and modified Simpson were similar but significantly better than biplane Simpson (P < .05). Single-beat intrareader reproducibility was highest using 5/6AL (P < .05). The 3BA improved reproducibility for almost all measures (P < .05). Reproducibility in both single-beat and 3BA values fell with greater LV dilation and systolic dysfunction (P < .05). Intraclass correlation coefficients were >0.95 across measures, although absolute volume and mass values were systematically lower for biplane Simpson compared with modified Simpson and 5/6AL.
CONCLUSIONS: The reproducibility of LV size and functional measurements in children with dilated cardiomyopathy is highest using the 5/6AL algorithm and can be further improved by using the 3BA. However, values derived from different algorithms are not interchangeable.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Wind River Systems rose 3 1/8 to 28 5/8 on trading that is three times heavier than average. The company is set to report fiscal third-quarter results a week from Thursday.
Hambrecht & Quist's Matt Belkin says Wind River WIND, -0.41% has had a "strong" quarter, adding that investors are taking notice of Wind's ties to the consumer device market. Wind River has a deal with set-top box maker Liberate LBRT, -1.67%, which has seen its shares double over the past 6 weeks.
"It's a kind of derivative play," Belkin says. Wind makes operating systems that power gizmos such as such-top boxes, coffee machine and even alarm clocks.

SOMERSWORTH — Earlier this month the City Council voted to send a letter of design considerations to the Maine DOT, the New Hampshire DOT and the town of Berwick for the eventual rehabilitation of the Somersworth-Berwick bridge.
"The letter was a formal way for the mayor and council putting a voice behind the effort to add some design enhancements to the bridge when it is reconstructed," said Councilor Dave Witham last week.
The letter, signed by Mayor Matthew Spencer and members of the City Council, highlights the importance of the bridge's appearance to inviting visitors into the community and showing them to spirit of the Hilltop City.
"More than 11,600 cars cross the bridge and travel through downtown daily," the letter reads. "The project represents an opportunity for enhancement as the bridge is a prominent feature at the entry into the City's Historic District, the largest contiguous historic district in the State of New Hampshire."
Some of the design elements suggested for the bridge in the letter include black railings, prominent bridge abutments and period style street lighting on top of the abutments. The letter also suggests these options are just a few suggestions from a long list.
Currently, according the letter, the project is undergoing initial engineering work. In a timeline provided to Foster's by Somersworth City Manage Bob Belmore, the planning and design phase is expected to begin in the spring of 2012 and continue into the summer of 2013. The construction phase is expected to begin in the summer of 2014 and close up by the winter season of that same year. Belmore stresses this is a preliminary timeline, however.
The bridge project is listed as a Priority One item in the city's 2013-2018 Capital Improvement Project list. According to the CIP list, funding for the project totaled $2.2 million when last assessed in September 2011.
This amount will be split, over time, between Somersworth, Maine, New Hampshire, Berwick and a Congressional earmark given to the city.
Somersworth is estimated to pay 10 percent of the total cost at $220,000. The Maine Department of Transportation will pick up 40 percent of the cost, at $880,000. The New Hampshire Department of Transportation will also pick up 40 percent of the cost, at $880,000. The state of Maine and Berwick will pick up 10 percent of the cost, at $220,000, and the congressional earmark will cover $300,000 worth of costs.
There are 40 individual department recommended Priority One items on the CIP list.
The bridge project is just one part of a three-pronged effort to rehabilitate the downtown and make it more of a walkable, bikeable and aesthetically pleasing part of the community. The other projects in this plan include the evaluation and improvements to High Street and improvements to the sidewalks, greenscapes and bike lanes along High Street, as well.
The city recently received a Transportation Enhancement grant from the state in the amount of $379,477.35. The city will contribute $94,869.34 from the Transportation Enhancement Improvements fund for a total amount of $474,346.69. This grant money will be used for downtown improvements to sidewalks and green scapes.
The City Council voted unanimously to allow Belmore to accept the grant and for the city to pay its 20 percent portion at their last meeting on Dec. 12.

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." II Corinthians 4:7
If we were allowed to design our own bodies, we probably would be thinking along the lines of "superman," rather than "jars of clay." We would want to be the strongest, healthiest, best looking person out there. Yet the Apostle Paul reminds us of a deeper truth: When we are full of ourselves we have little room for God.
God teaches us this lesson throughout our lifetime. When we are weak, then we are strong. Paul himself was beset with a certain "thorn in the flesh" that limited him to a certain degree. Yet it was that very thorn that taught him to trust in God (2 Corinthians 12:7). Paul's "thorn" was one way God displayed His own sufficiency (verse 9), and showed us that apart from God, we have no strength at all. Paul would finally conclude, "when I am weak, then I am strong" (verse 10).
Do not be surprised when God places you in situations where you must trust Him rather than yourself. Sometimes these lessons do not come easily, and the best of us tend to be slow to learning. Yet what blessing accompanies the man or woman who gladly surrenders personal strength for God's power. Do you want to be used by God? Then expect Him to place you in places where you're forced to trust Him. On the surface, these are not places we would like to go. No one enjoys pain and uncertainty. But remember that God cannot use the self-sufficient or self-reliant. Instead He uses "jars of clay," those who may seem brittle by this world's standard, yet enjoy the presence and strength of the Lord.
I have heard from countless people that their spiritual life never really amounted to anything until they felt completely "broken." They never experienced trust, or dependency on God until that time. But once they witnessed firsthand how God takes the "broken" vessels and remakes them into something beautiful, they began to realize that God must sometimes break us in order to use us.
James would urge us to let patience have its full effect (James 1:4, ESV). Only then would we experience the maturity God desires for our lives. The writer of Hebrews reminds us that God's discipline is performed in love and produces much spiritual fruit (Hebrews 12:5-11).
The next time you feel particularly weak by this world's standards, rejoice mightily! God is preparing you for some great work!

For people who are wondering how to calculate how much solar power they would need if they were to set up solar panels at home, office or any other place, in general, this article with an abundance of information that we have compiled, might be your aid.
Solar panels, solar power, solar powered electrical devices have all gaining the desired momentum in our country and with the government verbally agreeing to decrease the use of hydro-powered electricity and switching it with solar powered electricity has given it the necessary push required. Though a little heavy on the pocket at the moment, there are corporate structures, educational institutions and even residential solar power systems that are readily switching to solar power installations. However, the ordinary Indian man seems unaware of the entire technical aspect that works behind powering electrical devices with solar power.
One major aspect, which is often left out is how much solar power you would actually need to keep all your devices working on solar energy. Hence, we have compiled a list of steps using which you can easily find out how much solar power you might need from your solar system at home in India.
Just like normal electricity, the solar power is also calculated in the same units. So, the first thing you should do before having a solar installation done is check the solar power price list for your neighborhood. After you have done the necessary checks and comparisons, buy your solar panel systems priced at desirable rates, from trusted companies.
Now, returning to the topic of the day, it is very important to understand your energy requirements before investing on solar power generating equipment which includes- solar panels, batteries, and PCU or simply, an inverter that can retain solar power.
The first concept you need to understand before calculating your energy requirements is
Watt (power in units)= the voltage x current/electricity flow
The next and most important step is to calculate the total amount of energy that you consume on a daily basis in watts units. You need to have a fair idea of the appliances you own and the amount of energy that they might need. For example, a basic TV can take up to 90-250 watts a day and a fridge can take up about 150 watts per day. You need to add up the entire power consumption of all the household devices in units. Generally, a normal family that does not indulge in any extra leisurely activities is said to use over 2100 kWh, annually.
The next step is to invest in a good solar inverter. Now, this is the equipment that will convert your Direct Current into Alternating Current, and unfortunately enough, the entire process of conversion ends up in extra loss of energy. Hence, it is advisable to invest in an inverter that stores more energy than what is required by your household, on a daily basis.
For instance, if your household consumes over 300 Watts a day, it is preferable that you get an inverter that can hold at the least 30-40% more than what your household consumes. The preferable inverters come in 24V (Voltage).
So now we need to know the current that you will be using daily. The current is calculated in ampere units. And hence, let's put the formula that we mentioned earlier, along with a few mathematical skills to work here.
Watts= voltage x current
300= 24 x Amps
300/24=amps= 12.5amps which we can later round off to about 13amps
Hence, using all these calculations, we have understood that you need at least 13 amps units of power to be generated by your solar panels and converted by your inverter, in order to make all the appliances in your household work in full swing.
Next, power back up.
If you think solar power is always better than hydro-powered electricity just because it helps you escape those damned frequent power cuts, then think again. India is an unpredictable country and its seasons are as unpredictable as its oddly timed power cuts. Hence, you don't know when the sun will shine brightly over your head to provide you with the necessary power, for the entire day. Hence, it is important to know and take steps to store power for the rest of the day/night when there is no solar energy supplied to you. For this too, you need to use the formula that we referred to, earlier.
So, imagine that in your state the sun sets very late and you get a pretty good supply of sunlight. Hence, you need to calculate the power needed to be backed up, for the rest of the day when there is no solar energy. (by the way, the solar power is backed up into the compatible batteries, which too, you will be investing on, after the solar inverters). Suppose you need solar power backed up only for 6 hours of the day, you need to calculate it this way.
300watts x 6hours/24V= 75Ah
Hence you need to store 75Ah/Amph units of current in your solar power compatible batteries every day, to get you through the rest of the day that is deprived of sunlight, in the Indian subcontinent. Last but not the least, the equipment that you need to invest on is – the solar panels themselves.
Now, this is the most expensive parts of the entire process and you need to be careful in deciding the size of the panel because they need to coincide with the size of the solar inverter and the battery that can back up power. Hence, you need to again calculate how much of the current needs to go to the battery and how much of it needs to be converted into AC power. And VOILA! you have your own fully functional solar powered household.

A Pleasant Surprise [Altair]
Subject: A Pleasant Surprise [Altair]
November 3rd 2015, 02:25
Green. That was all she could say to describe her surroundings. From the grass beneath her paws to the tops of the trees, everything was green. And it was beautiful. The water reflected the oak trees perfectly and she was sure that if she stared down upon it, she would see herself just as well. Approaching the edge of the stream, she looked down and tilted her head to see a pretty fae looking back. Blinking, she marvelled at the image, having never actually seen herself before. Was she this pretty? Surely not. Her eyes were green too! Smiling and watching as her reflection copied her action, she felt content at seeing what she looked like and pulled away from her own image. She wasn't a vain wolf, she would not preen at her own beauty. She now knew what she looked like and she was happy. Leaning down, she took a gulp of water, relishing at how it quenched the dryness in her throat. She had heard of snapping turtles and less beautiful things living around the stream and in hopes of avoiding them, she took solace underneath the shade of a particularly large oak tree.
Her thoughts wandered as the silence allowed a peaceful atmosphere to waver around her. A handsome pair of blue eyes entered her mindscape and she blushed at the image, recognising it. Altair had been one of the first wolves she had acquainted herself with when she had joined Agavos. She hoped that it would be safe to consider him her friend and that he would do the same. After all, they had gone around for any entire day, looking at dens.
'Like a couple.'
At that input, she shook her head furiously, laughing a bit, flustered at having such thoughts.
'Definitely not, Sieglinde. You've only just met the man, you can't just fall in love now.'
Oh, but she could. The heart was a fickle thing, liable to change at any second regardless of whether or not the mind was ready. However, the dark fae shook her head once more, deciding completely that she hadn't fallen in love. It was just affection given as a friend. After all, Alpha Desmond was quite attractive too; Altair wasn't the only one she was fond of.
Leaning against the oak trunk, she let out a small sigh of contentment. This was the life. She was free and there was no one around to pin her down. Agavos was the correct choice and there was no chance that anything would be able to make her leave.

Walking through familiar territories, Altair often found himself drawn towards Pangae's Gulley, a place he found pleasant. This was the first place he had wandered to when being accepted into Agavos when summer was around. It was where he had met the stubborn apprentice named Striker. An interesting conversation that had been. Shaking his head, Altair moved his way through the trees lifting his head up glancing at the green scenery around him. Some of the tips of the leaves on the other trees were turning but for the most part this area had retained it's green tint. He had a feeling it was because most of the trees seemed to be pine trees, they often never turned color. Walking through the oddly placed trees, the chilly breeze ruffled his fur as a scent curled around him. He tilted his head recognizing the scent.
He thought as he trotted forward, seeing her finally come into shape. He noticed her looking down into the water, before taking a drink and then backing away before resting against on the larger oak trees. Coming up on Sieglinde he moved around so she could see him and spoke.
"Good afternoon Sieglinde. How are you?"
He asked, a smile on his lips as he took a seat. The sun was shining on his back, giving the dark furred wolf a warmth. His light blue eyes shimmering on the fae as he felt more relaxed with her around.

The smooth tone of Altair reached her ears, slicing through the silence that she had sat in. Turning to face her companion, she offered a warm smile, happy to have his presence near her. Replying with a soft and articulate tone, she said,
"Good day to you too, Altair. I am very well, thank you. Hasn't been much to do lately, though. How about you?"
She gave a look over his person and her smile widened approvingly. Indeed, his most striking feature were his blue blue eyes, but she was drawn to the rest of him as well. A nagging voice at the back of her head uttered something intelligible and she shoved it away calmly, keeping her ugly thoughts away from her consciousness. Those sort of opinions were to be kept hidden away for they were far too embarrassing to even exist. How awkward!
Clearing away her mortification with a few slow blinks, she smoothed her expression to a gracious one, keeping her cool façade. It wasn't of her nature to lose her nerve and she was determined to keep it that way. As she waited for the male to reply, she thought to just how honoured she was to have him as a friend and was delighted that he thought her to be worthy as well. Shuffling over, she beckoned for him to take a seat beside her.
"The day is young. Come, sit with me and enjoy the view."
Curling her tail around herself, she maintained her pleasant smile. Having a friend to enjoy such lovely weather and such beautiful scenery was a joy, indeed.

He was glad to see a happy response, rather a one of anger. Lately he had been angering many wolves, it seemed to be a pattern. Although, he wasn't worried as of now. He enjoyed his time with Sieglinde, and she was nice to him. She seemed to be a sweet and caring wolf, which he often didn't find in this life. He was happy to call her a friend, which he often found doing. When she greeted him, he felt his tail wag, a small bit. He was glad to hear she was well.
"I am glad you are well Sieglinde. I know there hasn't been much, but many of us are just preparing for winter. I have been doing some-what well. I haven't been the most popular with a few wolves but that hasn't stopped me from trying to be friendly."
He chuckled softly, noticing her staring at him. He didn't feel uncomfortable however, it was quite nice. He had smiled to her once more, feeling more relaxed than he had been for quite some time.
"Things have been quite slow, but the seasons are changing quickly. I don't think anyone is quite prepared for the winter, and I am hoping it will not be to harsh upon us."
He commented staring up at the blue sky, but noticed clouds off in the distance. While it was warm in this area, there was still a chill and with the breeze it made it him shiver.
When she asked for him to sit next to her, he didn't see why not. He wandered over, before tucking himself in next to her and relaxing. His fur brushed against hers, and as he glanced at her he noticed her beauty. He often noticed the beauty in all wolves, but each wolf was unique. He enjoyed the light mint color of Sieglinde's eyes as well her coat color. He wouldn't call it black, but a more chocolate color with a fringe of white.
"The day is still quite young. I was out and about, following an older duty I had finished. I had thought about hunting but prey has been quite scarce."
He said shaking his head slightly. He didn't like this time a year as much as he did spring and summer.
"I guess we will just have to push through it like all wolves do."
He said quietly, flicking his tail silently as he spoke it brushing against Sieglinde.
He said tucking his tail around himself so he wouldn't hit her again.

Inside the crab's claws
Let's walk on through rue Hippolyte Durand, between modern apartment buildings and the training centre of "SNSM", the Sea Rescue Society. Here we are in what used to be the old Saint-Nazaire, the original village which developed along the estuary and on a rocky promontory. There is nothing left of this little town which was described in 1865 as "some tiny, low and unhealthy houses thrown together". One imagines a maze of narrow streets and old houses, but evidently they seemed neither romantic nor charming for their contemporaries.
At the end of the street let's walk straight on for a little detour into the outer harbour. Here the tug boats lie at anchor, waiting for their next job helping big ships in and out of the harbour. Dozens of fishing nets, fixed in hand-made wooden or metallic contraptions, line the pier at our left, and also the pier on the other side of the harbour.
If you get a good look at the two piers you will realise that each bears a small lighthouse at its end. At nightfall, they give the usual guiding signals for ships entering a harbour: green light on starboard, red on portside. By the way, do you know how people in Saint-Nazaire nickname the piers? They call them "crab's claws"… have a look at the aerial photo, and you'll understand why!
Back into rue Hippolyte Durand now, and up the stone stairs leading to the promontory which dominates the harbour entry.

AAT Reviews
If your visa application is initially refused, don't be put off. Many rejections can be overturned at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT), for defendable reasons such as failing to provide enough information, giving the wrong information, or not meeting the visa conditions or health or character requirements. In our experience, these situations most often arise when the visa application is self-managed.
Applying for a Review
It's important to note that applications for review at the AAT are subject to extremely strict time limits. In most cases, if you do not make the application within the time period specified in your letter of refusal, you will not be able to have your matter reviewed.
To apply for review, you'll need to complete the relevant paperwork, and you may also be asked to attend a hearing, which is similar to a court hearing, though more informal. During the hearing, you will have the opportunity to tell the Tribunal about your visa application, and why you think your visa was wrongly refused.
Managing an AAT review from South Africa is complex and arduous, and requires strong legal support. You only get one chance at a review, so it is essential that you prepare the best possible application with all the relevant supporting material. Pathway's qualified and cost-effective Australian legal team are perfectly placed to assist you in applying for and conducting your review.
What Happens If You're Successful?
If the AAT agrees that the facts and circumstances of your case should not have led to the refusal of your visa, the Tribunal may order that:
- the original decision is void;
- the decision be sent back to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) for reconsideration, taking into account any recommendations or findings of the Tribunal; and/or
- the decision be varied.
If your visa application has been rejected, contact our professional team immediately for assistance.

An English expression that is purported to have been appropriated from an old Chinese curse
wishes the receiver: "May you live in interesting times." Whatever the source, no year in recent
memory may be more deserving of adopting this expression as its theme than 2016. And as
this year's narrative approaches its denouement, the dramas of sadness, excitement, possibility
and conflict continue to unfold, seemingly until the very end of this provocative year. While the
world spins, rocks, shakes, rattles and goes boom, SynchAudio always takes this time to ponder
the journeys and adventures it has taken over the past year.
Anybody who has encountered us, played with us, or done business with us over the three
years since we launched SynchAudio, knows we are passionate about music and those who
create and perform this art form. We strongly believe that no other art form brings more light to
an often bleak and dark time in our world than music. It is our view that those who create and
share their music with the world are purveyors of joy and should be treasured. And we consider
the music creators we represent to be in that light.
SynchAudio is a Toronto based creative boutique agency that provides one-stop, full service
licensing representation for the use of music and media in all screen based storytelling
platforms. We are a creative team of passionate, lovers of music who are dedicated to the
independent composers, songwriters and recording artists we represent. Inside the
SynchAudio tent we all sit around the fire of creativity: composers, artists, music
supervisors, editors and creative business. We learn, we teach, we share.
Sometimes it is hard to believe that we are now sixteen years into the new millennium.
But there is nothing like considering how much technology has changed the world and our
lives in those few years, to sober the mind. Just think, the generation millennials or
Generation Y (born 1982 – 1996) are the pioneers of the internet, and as they grew the
world profoundly changed with them. Almost everything previous generations experienced
became disrupted during the millennial's formative years.
As we know the millennials are the most studied generation ever, with every marketer and
sociologist performing data mining and behavioral digs to understand their core values.
However, demographers and marketers tell us we have not seen anything yet as we are
now seeing the rise of the Generation Z (Born 1995 –2014). This entire generation has
grown entirely and immersively in a digital and internet world. Yes we live in interesting
times and the Generation Z promises, along with a radically different political landscape,
that the times beginning with 2017 are going to get even more interesting.
SynchAudio has its hand firmly on the wheel and its seat belt tightened and is ready for a
new year of more adventures and excitement as it continues its journey in the wonderful
world of music. We at SynchAudio welcome all creators of great music from all generations,
cultures and corners of our global village.

Another milestone in the manufacturing and commerce history of Barbados was marked over the weekend when the Oran family celebrated 50 years of the existence of the company bearing the family name, and 25 years of Sheraton Mall.
Paying tribute to Oran's success, Minister of Commerce and Industry Donville Inniss spoke of the culture of productivity and entrepreneurship within the family businesses.
"As a manufacturing enterprise, I think Oran is one that we really must celebrate. It has brought to the fore the level of creativity that really and truly must be celebrated in Barbados," Inniss said during Saturday evening's reception at the Crane Resort, at which he hailed the contribution of pioneer Marshall Oran.
Scott Oran, who has been co-steering the family enterprise along with his father for 35 years, traced the development of Oran Limited from "very meagre beginnings" in the 1960s manufacturing furniture, to a major enterprise, providing employment for many.
"Our manufacturing company for five decades has been doing so many different things, contributing so much to the Barbados economy, the infrastructure, providing employment for 300-plus people, and networking in export markets as well as our local markets, and always just trying to be a couple years ahead of the competition, so that it gives us that competitive advantage to make us in Barbados the preferred choice of what is available from everyone else.
"The 1960s saw this happen. The 1970s we continued to invest, to expand, to increase capacity to add products and variety to what we already have, And that is really our model for the future as well.
"When we talk about family relationships, I've been here for 35 years doing a lot of different things and never having a dull moment," he added.
Over the years, the company's vision has developed beyond manufacturing, giving birth to the Sheraton Mall.
Manager of the Mall Sharon Oran credited her father-in-law Marshall, her husband Scott, as well as other investors for recognising 25 years ago that Barbados needed a shopping venue beyond the confines of the city.
"[Back then] Bridgetown was the only place that people shopped. There was no out of town destination in Barbados. What followed was years of forming, moulding and solidifying that reality within the hearts of Barbadians . . . our story grew 200 per cent with 35 stores in 1997, to 125 stores in 2014," she said.
"Sheraton re-designed itself every few years to reflect the needs of the Barbadian family. With each expansion we sought to provide a more comprehensive location, not only for shopping but for socialising, eating, meeting friends, entertaining. And in 2000 we opened the first multiplex cinema in Barbados," she noted.
For Justin Oran, a third generation Oran, and son of Scott and Sharon, "family values, such as honesty, hard work, embracing change and the importance of reputation have been passed between generations for the benefit of these companies.
"These values go deeper than just benefiting the family and the organisation, they also have an impact on the communities in which we live."

QMPF has advised Bangor University on the funding options to support its capital investment programme
March 2014
Funding Options
£45 million
Funding options advice
Bangor University Campus Investment plans secure £45m funding
QMPF has advised Bangor University on the funding options to support its capital investment programme and assisted with the structuring of the £45m financing solution. This comprised a £45 million long term loan facility from the European Investment Bank ("EIB") alongside a smaller Revolving Credit Facility from a commercial bank, as a bridge facility.
The EIB loan will allow the University to implement its estates strategy, which includes development of the new Pontio building (an Arts and Innovation centre), the Marine Centre Wales and upgraded halls of residence and sports facilities. The University will also invest in its science facilities along Deiniol Road and Dean Street and various other improvements to its academic estate.
Our role included the preparation of financial forecasts, quantifying the University's funding requirement and developing a strategy to meet it. We then led the tendering and negotiation of the new facilities on the University's behalf. Bangor agreed the new facilities in March and April 2014.
Mike Davies, Director of Finance of Bangor University, said:
"The QMPF team provided invaluable financial advice to secure a flexible and comprehensive solution to our overall funding requirements. Their relationships with a broad range of Banks and Institutions and knowledge of the EIB's processes combined with their commitment to the University resulted in an efficient process to financial close. We would not hesitate to contact them in future for further advice."

Gena Quotes
We've got to know that it's going to be a tough game. We can't think that just because we are playing at home that it will be a walk in the park. Obviously, they showed tonight that they want to end in second place in our conference and want home-field advantage, so it's going to be a huge statement, because this is going to be the team will either going to end our season or going to be the springboard to our championship, so we'll have to deal with them. - Pete Vagenas
We're right where we want to be. It would have been nice to score some goals (at home), but it was the first time a lot of us had gotten together in a long time. We're going to have to win on other fields at some point (in this tournament) -- we might as well start in the first round. - Pete Vagenas
