Australia's National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development (1992) defines ecologically sustainable development as:
using, conserving and enhancing the community's resources so that ecological processes, on which life depends, are maintained, and the total quality of life, now and in the future, can be increased.
Development of the Woollahra area has been steadily increasing since European settlement in 1790, particularly since being declared a local government area in the 1860's.
Today, while this increasing urbanisation brings with it many economic and social benefits, the prosperity of our area is underpinned by the need for a healthy environment. As the local government authority for this area, we seek to manage the development of the land in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.

U.S. Retail Execs Doing Business In Canada Should 'Know Their Boundaries,' Snyder Says
--Writing for Chain Store Age Online, the Tiger Group retail expert points to the need for more sensitivity to cultural, geographic, political and other differences north of the border.
Feb 05, 2013, 09:30 EST
BOSTON, Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As more U.S. retailers cross the border in hopes of tapping the potentially lucrative Canadian market, they should take care to educate themselves about the nuances of Canada's diverse and relationship-driven business environment, writes Bradley W. Snyder, a Boston-based managing director of Tiger Capital Group, in a Jan. 25 column published by Chain Store Age Online.
"Far too many U.S. businesspeople see Canada as something akin to a 51st state—a place where they can take a business-as-usual approach without thinking much about the substantial cultural, social, geographic and political differences that prevail north of the border," writes Snyder, who has worked extensively with retailers and manufacturers in Canada since 1998.
Snyder penned the opinion piece, he says, in part because of the stories his Canadian colleagues occasionally tell him about the missteps of U.S. businesspeople trying to break into the Canadian market. In the column, "Know Your Boundaries: Don't Treat Canada Like a 51st State," Snyder describes a host of differences between Canada and the United States—from the political and linguistic sensitivities in Quebec, to the greater role that relationship-building tends to play in Canadian business, to various logistical wrinkles related to distribution, trade agreements, product labeling and more.
He also points to some of the opportunities now presenting themselves in Canada. "Many Canadians are thrilled about the prospect of more access to American brands," Snyder writes. "These aspirational consumers have grown tired of a number of the ho-hum, homegrown retailers. Certain consumers in Western Canada, meanwhile, now have plenty of money to spend amid the ongoing energy boom."
Canadians can also be quite cost-conscious, which makes them good customers for value chains that have been on a tear in the United States, Snyder adds. Indeed, robust competition from the likes of Target and Wal-Mart will likely force Canadian chains to take more aggressive markdowns. "And so in the next few years we are likely to see a bit of a bloodbath on margins," Snyder writes. "Some of the homegrown players could fall by the wayside, creating more opportunities for foreign chains."
But all of this will require relationship building—with landlords, local officials, leasing agents, marketing experts and, not least of all, consumers. "The first step is to drop the kinds of preconceptions that, all too often, hinder U.S. businesspeople working north of the border," Snyder writes in the conclusion to the piece. "Rather than seeing Canada as a 51st state, those who ask questions and seek local expertise will better position themselves to reap the rewards."

Microsoft is taking advantage of Apple's June 13 developers conference to tout its own stuff.
The software giant will follow Apple's big conference with an event designed to drum up developer interest in its own mobile software and services.
Dubbed "The Future of Apps," Microsoft's party starts at 5 p.m. PT Monday in San Francisco, just about the time Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference should be winding down there. Taking place at Twitter's San Francisco headquarters — a five-minute walk from WWDC at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium — the event will offer free food, drinks and prizes in an attempt to lure developers to learn about Microsoft's latest development efforts.
Specifically, Microsoft is trying to attract Apple iOS and Mac OS X developers. The spotlight will also shine on Xamarin, a Microsoft-owned company that creates software to help developers design and test mobile apps to run on different platforms.
In recent years, Microsoft has been trying to prove that it's more than just Windows. It's been focusing on creating apps and opportunities for Apple's iOS, Android and other competing platforms. The desire to embrace rival operating systems is part of the new and more open Microsoft and a way to generate revenue beyond that that of its core desktop products.
Microsoft has long had a foothold in the Apple world. Office for the Mac has been a mainstay for several years, while Office 365 has also been available for Mac users. As such, offering apps for the iPhone and iPad seems a natural step.
Attendees of the party will be able to meet Microsoft developers working on Outlook for iOS and get "a closer look on how Microsoft is reinventing itself on iOS." The company will also talk about its current Office suite for iOS as well as its SwiftKey iOS keyboard and its MileIQ mileage app for iOS, which Microsoft acquired last year.
To play up the benefits of Xamarin, an engineer from the company will offer one-on-one sessions to show developers how to test their apps. Microsoft sees Xamarin as a way for developers to ensure that their mobile apps can run on iOS, Android and Windows. The goal is to convince developers to subscribe to the Xamarin Test Cloud, which lets them test software features on a variety of mobile devices.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to TechOptimals's request for comment.

The Show's Biggest Games
This year's E3 is going to be packed with a variety of amazing new games. While it's still unclear what games are appearing at E3 2017, we've compiled the biggest ones that we anticipate to be at the show. Click ahead for a look at what to expect.
E3 2017 runs June 13-15, with briefings from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Bethesda, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft planned for the days before the show kicks off. You can find a full schedule in our feature on the publisher press conferences times.
New Assassin's Creed
A new Assassin's Creed has been confirmed after the series took a year off, but nothing has been shared officially beyond that. Ubisoft has teased that with this new game, "a new era begins." Previous reports and leaks have suggested the game will be set in Egypt and carry the name Assassin's Creed: Origins.
New BioWare IP
After the underwhelming Mass Effect: Andromeda, BioWare looks to rebound with what sounds like an ambitious project set in an all-new universe. Fans can expect the game to have "new concepts, new gameplay mechanics, and new stories set in a unique universe." Made by the same team that created Knights of the Old Republic, the new IP is probably still a ways off from release, but EA could show at least a teaser at E3.
Call of Duty: WWII
The Call of Duty series goes back to its roots this year with the Sledgehammer Games-developed shooter that seems to draw influence from the Band of Brothers mini-series.. We expect to see more of the multiplayer at E3, and it's exciting to think about a stripped-down experience after the latest games were set in the future with all manner of super-abilities and equipment.
Crackdown 3
Official details on Crackdown 3 have been few and far between of late, but that should change at E3 if Microsoft talks more about the sandbox, destruction-themed Xbox One and PC game. It would be especially cool if we see it running on Project Scorpio, considering the power of the console could allow for some epic destruction.
Days Gone
Days Gone is an open-world zombie game exclusive to PS4. Announced at E3 2016, we haven't seen much else since about Sony Bend's upcoming title, but the third-person shooting and survival gameplay mean we're looking forward to seeing more.
Destiny 2
There's still much to learn about the sequel to Bungie's shared world shooter. While the massive reveal from last month gave us a lot to anticipate, we're still looking forward to E3 clearing up more of the specifics regarding the changes to the core gameplay loop, and just how our guardians will fit into the altered landscape post-Destiny 1.
Detroit: Become Human
David Cage and Quantic Dream are following up Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls with another intriguing project in the form of the PS4-exclusive Detroit: Become Human. This cinematic adventure tells the story of robot life coming to terms with its existence, and we're eager to see more of it at E3.
Far Cry 5
Moving away from the tropical and exotic locales of series past, Far Cry 5 brings the action to big sky country Montana, USA. After a lot of noise came out from the reveal of the game's setting and evocative cover art, there's much anticipation in seeing how far Ubisoft will go with this next entry in the series. While Far Cry 5's action and over-the-top theatrics will take center stage, the drastic change in scenery should spice things up considerably.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
The highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake is built from the ground up with fully polygonal graphics as opposed to the pre-rendered environments of the original. It also features a real-time combat system similar to Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts. The game was originally being developed with the assistance of Cyberconnect 2; however, the project is now being made internally at Square Enix.
God of War
God of War is the latest entry in the long-running action game franchise developed by Sony Santa Monica. While the game shares the same name as the first game in the series, it's actually meant to be a soft reboot to the story of protagonist Kratos.
Gran Turismo Sport
Gran Turismo Sport marks the long-running franchise's debut on PS4. In addition to the expected visual improvements, it also offers a new online championship system, new concept cars, and more.
Kingdom Hearts III
After many spinoffs, prequels, and confusingly named tie-ins, a proper sequel to Kingdom Hearts II is on the way. Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to begin their search for the Key to Return Hearts, travelling through unforgettable Disney worlds and meeting iconic characters along the way.
The Last of Us Part II
The Last of Us Part II provides a continuation of the story from Naughty Dog's acclaimed game. The studio has been tight-lipped about what it entails, but we do know that both Joel and Ellie return.
Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite
Making a surprise comeback, Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite makes big changes to the tried-and-tested formula of over the top 3-on-3 fighting by introducing the all powerful Infinity Stones and dropping the team number to 2-on-2.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War
In the follow up to GameSpot's 2014 Game of the Year, Middle-earth: Shadow of War brings Talion and his wraith companion Celebrimbor back to the front lines in their fight against Sauron and his dark army. In a larger and more open world, including new loot and gear to uncover, the undead ranger will have to form his own army to engage in an epic standoff against The Dark Lord.
While NBA Live 18 seeks to become a worthy contender, NBA 2K18 stands as the latest entry in the genre-dominating series. We don't yet know what to expect, but at the very least, you can expect the usual visual improvements and other refinements.
Need for Speed: Payback
After a year away, the Need for Speed series returns with Payback. More than just the standard racing game you might expect, EA says you'll also engage in heists, car battles, and more while playing as three distinct characters.
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is the long-awaited sequel to 2010's Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Rather than continuing the adventures of the protagonists from the first game, it introduces a completely new cast of characters who must fight against an emerging threat in the kingdom of Ding Dong Dell.
Quake Champions
Quake Champions revives the classic Quake style of arena shooter gameplay but with a new character/class system. While not a major factor, these characters do feature their own distinct movement speeds, health pools, and a special ability.
Sea of Thieves
Sea of Thieves, the first original, non-Kinect game out of beloved developer Rare in years, allows you to live out the life of a pirate with your friends. You'll be able to work together to navigate the sea by ship while hunting down treasure and fending off enemy players who are seeking the same thing.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Set the day after The Stick of Truth, the South Park kids are caught up in another game of make believe that quickly gets out of hand. Trading out swords and sorcery for capes and utility belts, the kids will explore the town, fight crime, and engage in turn-based battles to decide who gets to lead their new superhero franchise.
Splatoon 2
Splatoon 2 is the Switch-exclusive sequel to the hit Wii U third-person shooter. It features a new campaign, weapons, maps, and modes.
Star Wars: Battlefront II
2015's Star Wars: Battlefront was a fun game that let you live out your Star Wars fantasies. It shipped more than 14 million copies, making it one of the most commercially successful Star Wars games in history, but many remarked that it didn't offer enough depth. EA has acknowledged this feedback and has promised a bigger and better sequel that features characters and storylines from all eras of Star Wars. And there is a single-player mode this time.
State of Decay 2
The 2014 original State of Decay was a surprise hit, and with its permadeath element, it was a tense, white-knuckle affair with a lot of great action. The sequel has a larger map and co-op support, among other things.
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is the newest entry in the Super Mario series, and it returns to the more open-ended style of exploration previously seen in games like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine.
Total War: Warhammer II
The follow-up to the critically Total War: Warhammer, this sequel introduces four new playable races: High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen, and Skaven. It will apparently offer hundreds of hours of gameplay with its more narrative-focused campaign.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Uncharted 4 wrapped up Nathan Drake's story, but the franchise continues with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which is due out in August. Set in India, the game focuses on the characters Chloe and Nadine with a story involving the Tusk of Ganesha. It's a $40 standalone game containing the largest level Naughty Dog has ever made, so we are definitely excited to see more at E3.
Yakuza 6:The Song Of Life
Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life is the latest entry in Sega's long-running crime-drama action series. The game originally came out in Japan in 2016; however, it's finally set for a western release sometime in 2018.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Wii-exclusive open world-RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles. It stars a new hero who's in search for something known as "Elysium."

Saint Patrick's Day is almost upon us, which once again means it's time to prepare for the festive traditions of donning green garb, imbibing green beverages and enjoying green edibles of all sorts. But for those of us who spend our days steeped in the tech world and — let's be honest — generally prefer to walk on the geekier side of the street, the color green also holds another important cultural significance: super-powers!
What better way to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day than to highlight some of the best green spirited superheroes and dastardly villains from the comic book realm? That sure beats overdosing on food coloring. Here's a handful of our green-garbed and green-skinned faves.
Doctor Doom
©2005-2015 JPRart
Don't mess with the creepy, laser-shooting man in the green iron mask! When this doctor makes house calls, things tend to explode, catch fire, or become annihilated. While he originated as the bane of The Fantastic Four, good old doc has stirred up mayhem by making many a cameo in his countless years as an evildoer supreme.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
You'd think that living in the sewers might spoil one's appetite for pizza, but that's precisely the opposite for these heroic green-skinned teens. You can blame these guys for adding totally excellent (RE: cringe-worthy) phrases like "cowabunga, dude" and "turtle power" to our lexicon of awkward 90s awesomeness.
The Incredible Hulk
biggreenblog.com – hulk smash
A big burly brute with anger management issues, The Incredible Hulk is a favorite behemoth who proves that scientific nerdiness and uber strength can be a perfect pairing. What, you disagree? Hulk SMASH!
The Green Goblin
Norman Osborn as Green Goblin, art by Luke Ross
While his Jester-like attire doesn't seem particularly menacing, it's hard to deny that flying around on a jet-powered surf-board and hurling explosive pumpkins all day isn't pretty cool.
Yoda in Attack of the Clones
OK, we know Yoda isn't quite a name you might expect to see in a superhero/supervillain roundup, but this pint-sized Jedi Master isn't someone to mess with. Also, the classic Star Wars comics were a reading staple back in the day.
The Green Hornet
Green Hornet & Kato by Paolo Rivera
This green masked vigilante dates back to the days of early radio broadcast storytelling, but he's since been revived numerous times on the page and the big screen to showcase his crime fighting prowess.
The Riddler
Nobody likes a smarty-pants, but The Riddler doesn't care. This supervillain wears his braininess on his sleeve, and is a big fan of giving Batman and his Gotham cohorts a serious schooling in the fine art of Q&A.
Poison Ivy
The first appearance of Poison Ivy, in Batman #181
Another classic Batman comic villain, Ivy has a bad reputation for her sassy eco-terrorist spirit and a touch that can kill. Watch out, she's got that mind control thing down to a science.
The Lizard
Known for his long tail, long tongue, and long lab coat, this reptilian rebel likes to give Spider-Man a run for his money. That, of course, is what you get for playing around with mutagenic chemicals. Obviously.
The Abomination
A former KGB agent turned super beast, this steam engine made out of skin and bones was famously crafted to be "bigger and stronger than the Hulk" by Stan Lee, and he didn't hesitate to give his fellow green skinned combatant a serious what-for in their first encounter.
Check out our Green with Envy Pinterest board for more pictures of our green-themed superheroes and villains. We've also pinned some vintage comic book covers for you to enjoy. Happy Saint Patrick's Day from your friends at Modis!

Before I headed to Rocklands, my generous friends at Climbtech sent me some samples from their growing soft goods and accessories line. I pretty much became obsessed with their boar's hair brush, and made Vanessa take lots of picture of me using it for demonstration purposes. I'll show you those in a second.
I've never been willing to try when it comes to brushes. I only ever have these nubby broken Lapis's that I find under boulders, and children's tooth brushes from pinata parties. This brush put me in a different league. You'll recognize the climbtech brush line as "the black ones", but with an extra long contoured handle and ultra-densely packed bristles it's a little bit better than other similar ones I've seen in action. The denseness, and super dry nature of the boar's hair, mean this little wand can degrease slopers and scour scum out of crimpers on the most popular double didgit lowballs in the world. You know, the one's everyone thinks they have a shot at because they can pull onto every move and because, well, that Ann girl did it so it must be easy. I'm talking to YOU and you KNOW who you are and you FAILED so now you KNOW even BETTER that you are a GYM RAT punk with no business greasing up my slopers so go BACK to Nebraska or whatever. Mos says almost every female climber deals with this bs, and was totally compassionate, giving me no grief whatsoever for feeling and acting ragefull about it, and that is why he is the best best best.
But this is not a boyfriend review. Climbtech has the brush thing figured out, and having this one around gave me an edge where there was like, no edges whatsoever.
So this picture brings up another interesting subject, mORPHO. Do you know what mORPHO means? I did not, but it's all over the Rocklands guidebook. Occasionally, after a problem description, mORPHO. I just assumed it meant "bADASS" and started trying this bulgy arete mORPHO thing called "Tis Is Africa".
See those long ticks? When I pulled onto the problem, which was a move in itself where I had to put my left heel and hand on first, then hop on one foot to the right in order to get the very farthest bit of the right hand start hold, I couldn't see anything. I could actually barely tilt my head upwards. I spent about an hour slapping at each move, desperate to understand what was so mORPHO about this gorgeous hunk of rock, then I got distracted and gave up, and then we climbed on the iconic Teapot Boulder.
And then, the last night on my trip, I learned that mORPHO is a French climbing expression that means "height dependent"

Follow the second leg of this Battle of Britain with CaughtOffside.
It hasn't been the most convincing start for Brendan Rodgers at Anfield but an encouraging 2-2 draw against the Champions Man City will have given Liverpool plenty of confidence going into the second leg of their Europa League Qualifying Play-Off with Hearts.
But the SPL club will be out to spoil the party. Liverpool's lead – courtesy of an own goal at Tynecastle – is slender and Hearts' boss John McGlynn knows that if his side can get the first goal, it's game on at Anfield.
Liverpool will definitely be without midfielders Lucas, who is injured, and Nuri Sahin, who is ineligible, and with several other key players set to be rested, this match could be more nail-biting than you'd think.
The absences are likely to have one upside for Liverpool fans – a chance to see 17-year-old wonderkid Raheem Sterling for the third consecutive match and he'll be out to impress on his home European debut.
Liverpool fans: show your support for your club! Keep fully up to speed with all the action by "checking-in" to the match with the CaughtOffside App.

Employee Benefits-Government Issues Proposed Rules On Wellness Program To Reflect The Affordable Care Act
The Departments of Health and Human Services ("HHS"), Labor and the Treasury have jointly released proposed rules on wellness programs to reflect changes made by the Affordable Care Act. These proposed rules would be effective for plan years starting on or after January 1, 2014. A fact sheet says the following about the proposed rules.
The proposed rules continue to support workplace wellness programs, including "participatory wellness programs" which generally are available without regard to an individual's health status. These programs include, for example, programs maintained by employers which: (1) reimburse employees for the cost of membership in a fitness center, (2) provide a reward to employees for attending a monthly, no-cost health education seminar, or (3) provide a reward to employees who complete a health risk assessment without requiring them to take further action.
The proposed rules also outline amended standards for workplace nondiscriminatory "health-contingent wellness programs," which generally require individuals to meet a specific standard related to their health to obtain a reward. Examples of health-contingent wellness programs are programs maintained by employers which: (a) provide a reward to those employees who do not use, or decrease their use of, tobacco, or (b) provide a reward to those employees who achieve a specified cholesterol level or weight as well as to those employees who fail to meet that biometric target but take certain additional required actions.
Protecting Employees. In order to protect employees from unfair practices, the proposed rules would require health-contingent wellness programs to meet certain requirements, including:
• Programs must be reasonably designed to promote health or prevent disease. To meet this rule, a program would have to offer a different, reasonable means of qualifying for the reward to any employee who does not meet the standard based on the measurement, test or screening that usually applies. Programs must have a reasonable chance of improving health or preventing disease and not be overly burdensome for employees.
• Programs must be reasonably designed to be available to all similarly situated employees. Reasonable alternative means of qualifying for the reward would have to be offered to employees whose medical conditions make it unreasonably difficult, or for whom it is medically inadvisable, to meet the specified health-related standard.
• Employees must be given notice of the opportunity to qualify for the same reward through other means. These proposed rules provide new sample language intended to be simpler for employees to understand and to increase the likelihood that those who qualify for a different means of obtaining a reward will contact the plan or issuer to request it.
Ensuring Flexibility for Employers. The proposed rules also implement changes in the Affordable Care Act that increase the maximum permissible reward under a health-contingent wellness program from 20 percent to 30 percent of the cost of health coverage, and that further increase the maximum reward to as much as 50 percent for programs designed to prevent or reduce tobacco use.
The proposed rules would not specify the types of wellness programs employers can offer, and invite comments on additional standards for wellness programs to protect consumers.

Today the youngster stepped up, in a big way, and really shined as he scored the best win of his career so far and stopped the previously unbeaten Katsunori Nagamine (10-1, 6) in 7 rounds. It was the coming out performance that Shiro team knew he was capable of, though few believe he was ready for.
From the opening round Shiro seemed faster and sharper than his more experienced foe. Although it was Shiro coming up in weight he never seemed bothered by the supposed size issue and instead relied on his own strength, speed and skill, which were all too much for Nagamine.
To his credit Nagamine did try and change things. He had success in rounds 3 and 5 though those successes were short lived and scarcely came without a retaliatory attack back from Shiro. Unfortunately Nagamine the more aggressive he got the reckless he became and in round 6 a solid counter left Nagamine with a cut above his left eye. It was a bad cut, especially for a fighter trailing on the cards and really chasing the fight.
The cut was worsened early in round 7 by the sharp aggressive shots of Shiro and soon afterwards the fight was stopped with Shiro notching up his biggest and most impressive so far.
For Nagamine this is clearly a set back however the 2012 All-Japan Flyweight Rookie of the Year really did come up against an exceptional fighter who looks almost certain to move into title fights before the year is out. The future for Shiro is going to be very interesting. Not only is he a talented fighter going places quickly but he also has a serious decision to make about whether his future lies at Flyweight, where he fought today, or Light Flyweight, which appears a more natural weight though one he will likely outgrow in the next 12-18 months.

G'day to everyone who reads this
We're building in Mill Park with one of the big name builders - I don't know if I can mention names here????
Anyway, just after all the tiling & painting was finished we received a call from from the local area supervisor to let us know they had forgotten to put any insulation in our walls!!!! A slight oversight!
They've offered to refund us money for the wall batts and to upgrade the ceiling batts to an R5.
Can anybody comment on how this will affect us? They claim that with the improved ceiling batts we'll still achieve a 5-star energy rating. We're a 28sq home on a concrete slab.
Any help/comments/advice will be greatly appreciated.

if they are one of the major builders they will be part of master builders association. you should approach the masterbuilders association for their advice.
you will probably pass the energy rating with the extra insulation because it is a cumulative system so greater insulation in the ceiling will up the score, but it doesn't mean that the house will perform properly. just think, if the walls are not insulated the house will heat up any time the sun hits the walls. passing the energy rating is one thing but take the big view and make sure you are not missing out on compensation because you will have to spend more heating and cooling your house for energy gained and lost through the walls.

I wouldn't be happy with that. The roof may have extra insulation, but the walls will still let the heat in and out at the wrong times!
What exterior cladding do you have?
Personally I'd be jumping up and down and seeking rectification.

Hi guys and thanks for your replies.
At first the builder was insistant that we accept their offer but after some haggling and a few emails to the next manager in line we have secured ourselves free air-conditioning & a retaining wall as well. Since ducted heating is already installed we should be right.
It will cost us a bit more in heating & cooling until we insulate the walls ourselves - we can insert batts into the top half of the wall via the roof. That should help a fair bit and be relatively cheap.
The important thing here is to stick by your guns when you have a dispute. We found that when one Manager wouldn't listen we'd go higher up - and you'd be surprised how much they hadn't been told about by the site supervisors. So I'm sure a few butts have been kicked.
Thanks again to thos who posted a reply.

Hi Matt,
Im sorry for the late reply but have just joined this site.
I am an energy rater and also work for an insulation company.
There are many different products that you can use to insulate your ceiling to achieve a higher rating with great results.
Insulating the top half of your walls may help a little but having a higher rating in your ceiling is going to be better for you.

For other readers of this post I think it necessary to add a few comments.
If a 5 Star Energy Rating was included as part of the building application then the 'firm' should be required to issue a new rating to the council showing an achievement of 5 stars with the altered insulation levels. Boosting the ceiling insulation to R5 will not necessarily achieve this.
The FirstRate programme used by the majority of Energy Raters throughout Victoria, including myself, to provide an assessment determines a star rating based on the 'envelope' performance of the home. Even though the overall energy rating results may not reflect it, to my mind wall insulation is an integral part of the comfort levels of the home in winter months.[in Vic]
For the lack of a better example insulating the top half of the wall could be compared to standing outside with a beannie on your head, a woolen jumper & shorts.
I'm not trying to be flippant but even if Matts obtained written documented proof of the energy level I'd be dissapoointed to a tune far exceeding increased roof insulation & a new wall.

How can someone forget insulation? How dumm can someone be?
The right thing to do would be:
Moving out at the builders cost.
Alternative accommodation at the builders cost.
Installation of insulation in all ext. walls at builders cost.
Substatial compensation for inconveniences.
Otherwise the homeowner will be the looser.
Again it shows the rotten state the building industry is in in this part of the world.

If I purchased a newly built house in Victoria that stats its 5 star on the energy report, and its stated at that the council and on there plans and building plans provided by the builder and shows that the roof requires sarking "foil" and insulation in all walls and SG glass and the plan was altered without council knowledge and I've just handed over a deposit for the home for a 5 star home and the energy report stats that R2.5 batts are meant to be installed in the walls which they are not and no sarking in roof and I find no insulation in the walls after handing over deposit.
What can I do and what are my rights.

I had spent the last week in Taiwan busy teaching classes. A typical day would start with an 8:30am class full of kindergarteners in the town of Changhua followed by breakfast on the road to the university in Shalu. On arrival I would check my e-mail and roam the grounds meeting students and seeing how things are done there. In the afternoons Id teach one or two classes trying to overcome obstacles like my limited Chinese vocabulary and the usual young adult rebellious nature. Later at night Id have a small class of university graduates who would come to learn voluntarily. Three of those students became my tour guides / handlers for the rest of my trip. Weekend classes were either eight- or twelve-hour-long classes made up of students ranging from nine to early-twenties. I have to admit, it took a lot of work to keep everyone focused and training.
Needless to say, I was excited when I negotiated a day off to see some of the sites. That morning I was able to rest until 9am, which was when the kids from the university showed to pick me up. Wai-Lin, Huai-Rze, Chung-Sen and I headed via scooter to Bua Gua Zhang mountain. It has a huge six-level Buddha and a great looking temple all only about one mile from my hotel. About an hour into my day off, Chung-Sen received a nervous call from Dr. Daniel Chen (the chairman of athletics at the university and the person who organized my visit to Taiwan) saying there was an emergency. I immediately thought there was bad news from home or some other disaster. It turned out that a martial arts organization had contacted Dr. Chen requesting his help finding a martial arts foreigner the performer they had scheduled for an expo had to pull out at the last minute. This was to happen that day at 2pm in the southern part of Taiwan in a town named Madou near Tainan. There went my day off, as of course I agreed to fill the slot. After all, I was here for Kung Fu.
We jumped on the scooters and headed to the bus station where we were told we needed to take the train since the bus lines didnt go to our destination. We arrived at the train station, purchased tickets, and sat down for a noodle lunch we had picked up along the way. All the food I had in Taiwan was excellent, and our quick lunch was no exception. When we got to the small town, we were greeted by a driver who was directed to speed us off to the performance. A half hour later we arrived at a huge temple grounds, and I quickly changed into my Kung Fu uniform. The thousand or so seats were pretty full, so we were escorted to some sideline seats to wait for my performance. I was tired, rushed, and my legs were sore from the long days of teaching, but I gathered my Chi and stretched as best I could with literally thousands of people watching and sat to wait my turn.
Many Kung Fu practitioners were there mostly men my age or older along with a few younger men and a female Tai Chi group. They had Shifus from all over Asia, primarily from Taiwan and China.
Finally my name came up, and I was nervous but ready. I got up on stage and soon realized I was only being introduced along with a handful of other visitors from abroad. So I went back to sitting and waiting. Every thirty minutes or so I tried to walk a bit to stay loose, and soon enough it was time for me to perform. I jumped up on stage and powered through my performance (quite literally). When I was done, a younger man qith very good English greeted me enthusiastically saying my demonstration was fantastic and very powerful. I think all my nervous energy translated into loud strikes, punches, and heavy stomping . . . and he was being polite.
I walked back down to the performers seating area to wait for my next turn and watch more Kung Fu. A while later a man who looked to be in his fifties came up to me and introduced himself as a fellow Ba Ba Tang Lang Chuan teacher. Apparently he had also studied under Master Wei Hsiao Tang when Master Wei was teaching at a university. This man was one of the people who presented me with a certificate of honor after my second performance. I was also approached by a female television reporter who interviewed me.
It took us some time to negotiate our way back to Shalu, so I was unable to make it back to the university in time to teach the night class. After the long day I was happy to just relax over a bowl of soup with Wai-Lin, Huai-Rze, and Chung-Sen (though I did manage to think up a written homework assignment for them).
Dr. Chen dropped me off at my hotel in Changhua, and we worked out a day for sightseeing later in the trip. As I got ready for bed I realized that although I had initially been disappointed that my sightseeing was cut off just as it began, I ended up with a surreal day and a experience of a lifetime.

April 23, 2013 (CHICAGO) --Thirty University of Chicago students will get the opportunity to study green technology in China as part of an effort to get more Americans to study there.
Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is co-chairman of the program.
"We can lose what happened in the last century and rebuild the future of our country in China as leaders of the world to benefit the world, and that's what this ambassadors program is going to do," said Daley.
The students will be hosted by the Wanxiang Corporation, which has its American headquarters in Elgin.
The students will spend six weeks in China, where they will study Chinese language, culture and the development of green energy technologies.

My dad never drove BMW's.
I have personally been around BMW's for a while. This is the first time I feel this threat to the brand-culture integrity. Did not feel it with the e90. Did not feel it with the e46.
Sure, I'm sure brands like Kia, Hyundai and even Subaru have enthusiasts too. BMW will be the next one. Commercial enthusiasts, ricing up cars and talking about how low they can drop the car, how awesome the sound system is, and how many subwoofers they can fit in the trunk.
I'd rather not be one of them.
Sales will likely be up AGAIN, next year. I never questioned that BMW will continue to sell cars. Actually, they will sell a lot of them! Just not likely to same people/demograph is has been attracting and selling to for the past 20 years.
Again, it's great for BMW ... bad for enthusiasts. The brand has a lot of pressure to appeal to more people. To become more bland. More "safe". Which probably means less people buying sport packages. Less people ordering Manual Transmissions. More 'user friendly' driving experiences (electronic steering). More 'ready-out-of-the-box', and less confusing options to pick from (aka, Sport, Modern and Luxury lines) and less customizations.
Oh SNAP, it's already happening! The future is here! Bring on the sales numbers!

As the situation at CentrePort becomes clearer, indications are that the majority of Wellington and Palmerston North imports will continue to be routed via Napier for the foreseeable future.
Napier Port offered import demurrage assistance immediately after the earthquake – extending the free period from day of discharge +3 days to day of discharge +8 days.
Napier Port wishes to offer further assistance to all impacted parties over this challenging time. Effective immediately, we are extending our current free time period from day of discharge +8 days to day of discharge +13 days for Wellington and Palmerston North destined imports.
As road and rail operators continue working hard to rejig their service offering to customers, Napier Port also continues to increase its capacity to meet the increasing demand.
Statutory holidays, Saturdays (up until 31st December) and Sundays are also free days. Effective from Saturday 7th January, we will be re-opening our container terminal gate.
This offer is for all Wellington and Palmerston North destined import volumes.
Napier Port hopes this goes some way in offering assistance to the import community over this difficult time.

diagnostics and action planning
At Support Staffordshire we pride ourselves on supporting VCSE organisations to plan ahead, get it right first time and tackle challenges before they turn into crises.
We therefore focus a large proportion of our free support into understanding the challenges, diagnosing the issues and planning for long-term solutions. All Members have the opportunity of up to 3 hours worth of one-to-one support (which may include prep and follow-up support) based around this early intervention model of support.
This model will include the production of an agreed developmental action plan, which might be wide ranging, such as a new business plan; or it might focus on the specific subject you are currently most in need of help with, such as HR, funding or marketing. We will also ensure you receive clear recommended reading, appropriate template documents and referral to our other services where they are relevant.
Where VCSE organisations require additional one-to-one support this will need to be funded by the customer organisation or a third party funder with aligned funding priorities – see Training & Workshops and One-to-one Support & Consultancy for more details.

Less than a fiver & arrived the next day. Great value.
Quality service and product.
These trousers are perfect for my job as an HGV driver. They are very comfortable, very well made and fit exactly as expected. I will be buying more of these in the future!
I first bought these waistcoats 2 years ago though Amazon from this manufacturer. Now I again ordered 5 for all my family and friends. We all are everyday cyclists. These are the only waistcoat-style sleeved Hi-Vis tops with extremely bright orange and yellow. Highest Safety level. Not only that: the way the colours are arranged make these Hi-Vis' extremely visible - we get a lot of comments on this . To have sleeves is important for cyclists since you indicate direction with your arms - with a "normal" vest this is a problem. The quality of these sleeved waistcoats is second to none: 2 years in DAILY use, Summer and Winter, washed approximately 5x and they still look perfectly fine and do what they should do. Okay, we had to fix a few seems which is perfectly and easily done, but otherwise a perfectly long lasting product. Colours DO NOT FADE either in Sun nor with time....
Swift service and prompt delivery of quality product. Thanks SP

San Francisco-based Patelco Credit Union, like other large credit unions, has taken advantage of cyclical pullbacks in small business lending by banks by purchasing more business loans. But growth in those holdings and heightened regulatory scrutiny of lending in general has forced the $3.9 billion-asset credit union to doff its manual ways of handling aspects of its commercial loan portfolio, and automate the processes to share more informative views into the credits it carries with senior managers and regulators.
Patelco announced in December that it selected SS&C's commercial loan origination and servicing platform, LMS Loan Suite, to make managing the commercial loans (called member business loans or "MBLs") it buys more efficient.
Patelco's core and its legacy loan origination system "pre-dated the MBL boom," explains Cory Schwab, vice president of commercial and secondary market loans for Patelco. "The loan system was probably better built for consumer lending. So we had to implement not only a number of manual processes and spreadsheets, but also internal control procedures to verify its calculations are accurate."
Specifically, the old system would not automatically amortize the discounts or premiums at which the commercial loans were purchased across the life of the credits, which made calculating true yields for them under U.S. accounting standards more time-consuming than need be.
"What LMS provided to us was a system that out of the box already integrates those premiums or discounts within the actual loan systems, whereas most of the traditional banking systems do not," Schwab says.
Also, the old system was restricted by the size of the loans it was originally purchased to handle - commercial credits are often larger than the typical home or auto loan amounts. Plus, the legacy platform "has a hard time accounting for all the underlying loans in the pools we buy, which makes it more manual to administer the actual pool on the back side," Schwab says. "Whereas with the LMS system we can more easily administer underlying loans, if and when issues arise with those."
Because each business loan has unique aspects endemic to relationship banking and small business lending in particular, the credit union sought a system that was flexible enough to intake the specific details of these credits, as provided by the banks, credit unions and originator-servicers from which Patelco buys the loans.
"We provide liquidity to those institutions," Schwab says. "But obviously, in purchasing those loans we're relying on our servicers to provide a lot of information. So one thing that LMS brings to the table is a calculations of interest rates and different variables within the loans to help provide us with peace of mind that the payments we're receiving are actually in balance with what we should expect. Because our current system has some limitations on the number of calculations that it can do, we've had to manually verify a lot of that to ensure they are accurate."
Robust workflow and customizable reporting features are also included. "The LMS system is going to act almost like a process flow and a one-stop shop for all the people in my department for all information," Schwab says. "An approval workflow process is built in, and it also has the ability to load appraisals and financial information within the system itself. So it'll recalculate key ratios for us like loan-to-values and debt service coverage ratios. So the reporting on the back side is going to include all those key matrices that we have to calculate by hand today."
LMS will allow Patelco to set up specific reports and automatically transmit them to designated user groups. "We can send those without me even touching a button," Schwab says. "And it's going to be real-time, whereas with manual reporting we may update those weekly."
Specifically, Patelco expects to be able to provide reports to the chief credit officer regarding which loans are in the pipeline and which level of approval they've received. "That can be pulled down by him at any point in time," Schwab says. "We can also set up reporting that regulators require, so hopefully we make that process more efficient for them and us."
Reports sent to senior management and regulators can include risk ratings, debt service ratios, loan-to-values and the actual zip codes where the properties are located. "So they'll have a kind of master sheet with all the specifics behind the loan before they even touch a file." Patelco is currently drafting its business processes and data requirements with SS&C; a yearend review is expected to determine the implementation timeline.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION: Patelco Credit Union
PROBLEM: A growing business loan portfolio highlighted a legacy system's inadequacies.
SOLUTION: Upgrade to a newer, more automated loan system.

Mike Babcock wants high reward, no risk with Team Canada players
P.K. Subban playnig ball hockey during Canada's national men's team orientation camp at the Markin MacPhail Centre, Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Aug. 27, 2013. (DARREN MAKOWICHUK/Calgary Sun)

High-risk, high-reward players have no trouble standing out.
They're always doing something.
Whether it's a spectacular play that showcases their immense skill, or a disastrous swing-and-a-miss that proves costly, they're walking, talking highlight reels.
There were more than a few players who fit that category at this week's Team Canada orientation camp.
But head coach Mike Babcock made it clear.
He loves the high reward.
But he wants no part of the risk.
Montreal Canadiens defenceman PK Subban bristled at the notion he would be included in that group.
"I don't think I play a high-risk, high-reward game," Subban said. "I've always been solid in my own zone, and people who watch me play know that.
"Whoever says I play high-risk, high-reward obviously hasn't watched me play much."
Well … Subban does look for the big open-ice hit now and then.
And he's not shy about joining, or even leading, the rush.
But the Norris Trophy winner obviously brings a lot to the table.
As does fellow offensive blueliner Kris Letang.
Whether there's room for both of them on the Olympic team will be decided over the first three months of the season.
But they're not the only players with a risky tag attached to them.
A pair of Boston Bruins — Milan Lucic and Brad Marchand — fall into that category for different reasons.
Neither pose much of a danger for getting caught out of position.
It's their penchant for stepping over the line physically that is somewhat worrisome.
Lucic is a 6-foot-4, 220-lb. physical force who could provide Canada with some much-needed size along the wall.
But European officials will often penalize a hard hit — even if it's clean — if it looks violent.
A guy like the abrasive Lucic might stand out to the refs for all the wrong reasons.
"I've had to (be careful) when my role was increased with the Bruins," Lucic said. "There's a fine line where you're being physical and smart and when you're being physical and stupid.
"You do what you can not to hurt your team and not put yourself out of position just because you're trying to make a big check. You want to play physical but do it smart."
With both Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli and head coach Claude Julien having a say in who cracks the final Team Canada roster, both players will receive consideration.
Bruins star Patrice Bergeron, a lock to make the team if he can remain healthy, says he's seen the value his teammates bring to the rink.
"(Julien) always wants guys to be in good position," Bergeron said of Lucic and Marchand.
"So these two are used to that."

Osama Bin Laden: How He Really Died — New Book Tells All
Finally, the truth about Osama's death is revealed in the new tell-all book , 'No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama bin Laden.' Read on for ALL the details!
In May 2011, six Navy SEAL members bursted into Osama bin Laden's Pakistani compound and ended his life , and now one of those men — whose pen name is Mark Owen — has released a tell-all book recounting that historical day. And according to his recollection, Osama was already almost dead when they found him!
The Huffington Post obtained a copy of the tell-all which claims that Osama was already fatally wounded — despite reports claiming the terrorist leader was armed and ready to fight the SEALs.
"We were less than five steps from getting to the top when I heard suppressed shots. BOP. BOP. I couldn't tell from my position if the rounds hit the target or not. The man disappeared into the dark room," Mark writes. "Blood and brains spilled out of the side of his skull," adding that another SEAL ""trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless."
Mark goes on to say that what happened in bin Laden's room essentially went against the orders of their mission.
"I am not going to tell you how to do your job. What we're saying is if he [Osama] does not pose a threat, you will detain him," Mark writes, recounting the instructions they were given.
The book was reportedly slated to hit book stores on September 11, 2012, but now it's scheduled to be released one week in advance.

Cause and Effect
Cause and Effect
If you've been reading 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness by Joe Paprocki and participating in the "Challenge of the Month" for One Book One Parish, you will note that during the month of March, we've been focusing on the motto "Think before you act."
I find myself struggling to do that these days, especially as I watch the news and try to figure what is going on with the political process. Ironically, what is before me on the television is nothing more than a contagion of irrationality which is both cause and effect of my response to it – anger.
Undeliberated anger breeds more undeliberated anger. In the book that Joe Paprocki wrote, he makes a reference to the 1974 movie The Network in which Howard Beale shouts into the television camera "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." (Full video clip can be found below). Howard invites others into his rage-inducing hysteria until the entire nation is shouting out the window. Don't think, don't reflect, just be enraged and act.
On Palm Sunday, I feel like Howard Beale's famous outburst serves as entrée into understanding how the problems Jesus faced are problems still with us today. Within one hour of Mass on Sunday morning, we will recapitulate the extreme elation of the crowd as Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem and also the rejection of Jesus just days later by the very same people during his condemnation and death.
And they acted this way because… they were mad as hell and they weren't going to take it anymore! They were mad at the Roman occupation of Israel and they were mad at the corruption of their religious leaders and so they rejoiced at the arrival of Jesus without really listening to what he was saying. When Jesus didn't rule with the flashy heroism of a warrior-king, they were mad as hell. So again, without really listening to what he was saying, they mocked him and spat on him as he journeyed to the cross. In short, the movement from triumph to crucifixion was caused by undeliberated anger and the effect was more undeliberated anger.
As 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness points out, and to be sure, anger is not an inherently bad thing. At times, we are truly frustrated and pretending that we aren't leads to greater frustration. Additionally, righteous anger is a virtue. Anger at injustice has been the fuel for many social movements that have changed the world for the better. But when unrighteous anger is given permission to rule our life and we don't stop to put the heart in conversation with the head, then our lives spiral out of control. We become like the crowd that both welcomed and turned on Jesus in less than a week's time. We become participants in an endless cycle that enslaves us as a the meaningless envoy of anger following anger following anger.
Something has to put the resulting chaos to a stop. Something did.
Jesus stopped the spiraling mess. Yes, in his Death, but also in his Resurrection.
And our recalling of his journey during this Holy Week is important because in some mysterious way, it allows for his presence and his actions to transcend time and space and enter into our chaos here and now. This allows for a new cause to take hold – Peace – and we await the effect of its triumph over all anger – Peace.

The FourFourTwo Preview: Norwich vs Fulham
Premier League | Carrow Road | Thu 26 Dec | 3pm
Billed as
The lowdown
- S'land 0-0 Norwich (Prem)
- Norwich 1-1 Swansea (Prem)
- WBA 0-2 Norwich (Prem)
- Liverpool 5-1 Norwich (Prem)
- Norwich 1-0 Palace (Prem)
- Fulham 2-4 Man City (Prem)
- Everton 4-1 Fulham (Prem)
- Fulham 2-0 Aston Villa (Prem)
- Fulham 1-2 Spurs (Prem)
- West Ham 3-0 Fulham (Prem)
Fulham's Kieran Richardson, restored not only to the team but to the left wing as part of a relatively defensive line-up against Manchester City, has called this Norwich clash a "must-win" for the Cottagers, and he's not wrong.
They should take heart from that encouraging – albeit ultimately futile – display against the title-chasers, in which they forced a generally rampant side into a number of errors. There's talk of Clint Dempsey making a triumphant two-month loan return, once he passes a medical to prove that Spurs spell didn't crush his spirit, but until that transpires in January it's up to Fulham's current squad to perform at Carrow Road and nab three all-important points.
Team news
Player to watch: Johan Elmander (Norwich)

Mastodon – I Am Ahab lyrics
There's magic in the water that attracts all men
Across hills and down streams
The turning of the tide
Future bright
Beauty shines
Light cloud rain drive on
13 years to this day red planet aligned
Into sight 60,000 years of light
Fascination with a mountain put to sea
Built to slay and conquer
All with teeth of beasts

Other things I've noticed:
- UEd2 has started stuttering badly like never before.
- UT itself also stutters badly - GoW style.
- Coronas are 'breaking' up (flicker in and out) when in view and appear white instead of adopting its supposed light color.
- The error shown above - it's the first time I've experienced it.
- This crap started happening only recently. Most recent important activity around my comp is that I've fixed Gears and that UT3 has been installed.
What should I do to fix this?

iStock/Thinkstock(ROSEBURG, Ore.) -- A male student killed multiple people at a shooting Thursday at a community college in Roseburg, Oregon, authorities said.
The shooter is now dead, police said. The shooter's identity has not been publicly released, though Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced that he was 20 years old.
Gov. Brown's spokeswoman Kristen Grainger confirmed that the shooter was a student at the school.
Grainger also said that the number of fatalities and injuries totaled 20 people, but would not specify how many were dead and how many were injured. Neither the sheriff's office, governor's office or state police would specify the number of fatalities, though earlier on Thursday, State Police Lt. Bill Fugate told ABC News affiliate KATU-TV that at least seven people were killed.
"It is believed there is only one shooter who is no longer a threat," the Oregon state police said in a statement. "There is no current threat to the community."
Mercy Medical Center, a hospital located 5 miles from the school, reported that it has received nine patients and another three are en route.
"Please continue to pray," the hospital wrote in a post on its Facebook page.
Another local facility, Sacred Heart Medical Center, also tweeted that it was expecting at least three patients from the shooting.
The Douglas County Sheriff's office confirmed to ABC News that they responded to reports of a shooting at Umpqua Community College at 10:38 a.m. local time Thursday.
Sheriff John Hanlin said that the shooter was initially located in one of the school buildings and Hanlin confirmed that the shooter fired at officers.
"Police units from multiple jurisdictions have responded," the sheriff's department said in a post on its official Facebook page.
Students and faculty members are being bused to a local fairgrounds site, and relatives are being told to pick their loved ones up there. There will be counselors at the fairgrounds "for UCC students, staff and their families who need them," the sheriff's office tweeted.
Umpqua Community College Interim President Dr. Rita Cavin said that there is still one last bus of students and faculty that has not yet arrived at the fairgrounds.
"It is extremely sad right now to watch these families wait for the last bus," Cavin said at a news conference.
President Obama has been briefed on the situation, a White House official told ABC News.
Federal agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are responding to the scene. Due to the location, many agents are travelling great distances to get to the scene. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has offered a chopper from Blaine, Washington, which will transport additional ATF agents and a K-9 to the scene.
Since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, federal law enforcement agencies have taken a forward leaning approach to these types of incidents, pushing resources into the field as quickly as possible.
Umpqua Community College has about 3,300 full-time students and 16,000 part-time students. It is located about 70 miles south of Eugene.
The school has since announced that it will close its campus until Monday.
The situation at Umpqua Community College is the first school shooting with multiple fatalities since late October of last year. At that time, five people were killed and one injured at a shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School in Washington state.

Sunny Wang is engaged after a most romantic proposal
Who is the lucky girl who has captured the famous heartbreaker and real-life heir's heart? Taiwanese actor Sunny Wang has had a string of romances, and there are no less than 12 relationships that were in the news ever since he romanced Ariel Lin in her popular In Time With You drama. So his engagement news is quite stunning. The last time he made the headlines was a breakup, and now he's engaged? Sunny even proposed in such a romantic way that no girl in love could refuse.
Dominique Cai (Cai is pronounced Tsai) is a 29-year-old Taiwanese singer born in Sydney, Australia. She is actually Sunny's ex-girlfriend from 2007. They had a brief romance and reportedly broke up due to long distance. They've been rumored to be dating ever since late last December, while officially only admitting to being very good friends.
Recently they started to be more openly affectionate, calling each other endearing nicknames in their online posts. Dominique calls Sunny "My Little Sun." Sunny has referred to Dominique as his "Goddess" and even posted, "I am so lucky that you have returned to my life."
Perhaps they've realized they are really compatible in their backgrounds and common interests in music, sports, and nature. They both met each other's parents, which is a very important step in a serious relationship. So this is how the engagement unfolded:
On Dominique's birthday on April 7, Sunny surprised her with a proposal at her birthday party where both of their families and friends were also in attendance. Sunny knelt down and said that she has made him believe in fate, and regardless of whether it'll be in this life or the next life, he'd always find her wherever she might be. Sunny even designed the engagement ring himself. Dominique broke into tears and gave her nod. She later posted a photo of the cake with its touching message and announced "Little Sun and Dizzy are engaged."(DIzzy Dizzo is her musician name.)
There is no news yet on when the 32-year-old Sunny and 29-year-old Dominique plan to ring the wedding bells. For now, they are enjoying their love, as Dominique admitted that they are living together and not using contraceptives. (That's a little TMI, don't you think?) They denied that Dominique is already pregnant.
It's really a lovely story when two lovers find each other again.
We sincerely wish Sunny and Dominique every happiness now and forever.

550 Fire Cord Zipper Pulls
(Approx $6.2979)
Lighting a life-preserving fire is both essential for warmth, cooking and morale in any survival situation. In the modern day there are many different survival aids for this purpose, and having all bases covered is important - and that is where the new 550 Fire Cord Zipper Pulls come into their own. The Fire Cord Zipper Pulls are an excellent fire lighting accessory that you can keep with you at all times - simply attach to your rucksack, prepper pack or bugout bag and use save for emergency fire lighting use. These survival aids are ideal for preppers, survivalists and bushcrafters - or anyone who travels to remote locations.
Fire Lighting Zipper Pulls
Each Live Fire Zipper Pull Contains approx. 12 cm of Fire Cord. Fire Cord is the same as genuine 550 Paracord but inside there is a red fuse which has been impregnated with a secret fire lighting formula from natural products which is easy to light even when wet. But don't worry - it's not dangerous to carry and it won't suddenly erupt into flames from a rouge campfire spark - it is safe to keep on standby for if, and, when the time should arise.
550 Fire Cord Zipper Pulls for Bushcraft and Survival
Each pack of Zipper Pulls contains five coloured Zipper Pulls. Simply attach to bags or jackets and in the event that they are needed simply remove the cord, expose the inner braid and light from the sparks of a firesteel, match or lighter. The burn is slow, giving you time to prepare your fire. Unused, the outer sheath protects the flammable red cord.
There are several colour options available (select from the dropdown).
We also supply these to the trade on a wholesale basis - so if you run a company or survival school and want to open up an account - just drop us an email and we will be sure to help.

M2M Connectivity ensures Commercial Operations are fully fueled
Fueltek, in just eleven years, has become one of the country's leading specialist providers working with the likes of logistics and freight forwarding specialist Norbert Dentressangle, food retailer Asda, and high street fashion brand River Island. With such a pedigree of business partners, Fueltek has evolved complete turnkey solutions including fuel storage tank, fuel pumps, fuel management systems, fuel tank contents gauging and other related vehicle support systems such as air and water provision.
Fuel and its usage represent a considerable overhead to any commercial transport organisation. The correct management of this valuable asset is critical to profitability; even a small percentage saving can make a significant difference. For transport providers to work seamlessly, non-stop and optimum performance are key. Consequently in-house fuel storage, monitoring and management systems have become a must-have.
- UK leader in commercial fuel utilises power of M2M technology
- FUELTEK's partnership with Wireless Logic delivers seamless solutions
- Customer service is five star
Behind Fueltek's growing business is the use of smart technology. To each of the hundreds of systems used across both the UK and overseas, Microsoft cloud-based software delivers reporting and control data to both Fueltek and their client base in real-time. Capturing usage, stock control, remote management, and user-based DATA-tag security programming are amongst an increasing number of tools that operators can now employ as part of their highly sophisticated fuel management systems. And in doing this, Fueltek have designed platforms where ease of use and clarity of information are high on the 'features list'.
The Solution
Communicating data and interrogating installations form a vital part to the Fueltek system. Traditionally a hardwired network has been utilised to connect operations onto the Fueltek platform and in a number of installations this continues to be the connectivity of choice.
But since the organisation's inception, SIM-based modems have been used increasingly, saving costs on hardwire installation, avoiding the danger of cable damage and resulting downtime, and exploiting the high reliability/cost-effectiveness now associated with mobile data networks. Today, Fueltek's portfolio has hundreds of facilities connected via GPRS SIMs, all of which have FIXED IP to enable secure two-way communication. The organisation and infrastructure supporting the communication is Wireless Logic, now Europe's leading M2M Managed Services Provider.
Working with Wireless Logic from the outset, Fueltek has enjoyed a seamless multiple mobile network offering, all co-ordinated from Wireless Logic's HQ in Hurley, Berkshire. Both organisations' journeys have witnessed M2M connectivity expand dramatically over the last 10 years; without doubt, both have been pioneers in employing mobile connectivity into the commercial fuel management sector. Martin Devine, Fueltek's founder and Managing Director explains: "From the very beginning, our experience in working alongside mobile network platforms called for external support. In Wireless Logic we found an organisation that fully understood the nuances of network choice, delivered technological capabilities, and had a unique ability to give us solutions where mobile network operators simply could not. Our SIM base at the outset was small in number – to Wireless Logic that did not matter. Their stewardship in setting out a range of cost-effective and resilient solutions helped Fueltek to where it is today."
And it is today that the Wireless Logic/Fueltek partnership delivers fuel management solutions on a global scale. With installations as far afield as Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and Iceland, connectivity has increased from a single mobile operator to multiple networks including global SIMs from Telenor. Managing such a diverse SIM base is under the control of Wireless Logic's SIM provisioning management tool, 'SIMPro'. Cloud-based, SIMPro enables Fueltek to monitor the entire portfolio through one window, enabling 'just in time' provisioning as installations come online, data usage and control, and individual and group billing management. "The platform gives Fueltek complete control," continues Martin Devine. "We have total visibility through one portal enabling us to keep a tight rein on performance and cost."
Meanwhile, another vital component is Wireless Logic's private network, 'NetPro'. As a private overlay across all of the mobile networks, NetPro gives Fueltek complete security of information transfer delivering resilient, two-way communication to their installations. One of NetPro's major USPs is the complete avoidance of clients needing to invest in complex IT architecture, connectivity or in-house specialist engineers. Philip Cole, founder and European Sales and Marketing Director comments: "NetPro for organisations like Fueltek delivers large scale private networking for minimal cost. As one of our longest standing partners, Fueltek rightly demands value at every stage of our service offering. They've grown, we've grown and in doing so, our range of M2M Managed Services has evolved to give Fueltek a comprehensive and highly competitive multi-network offering."
So what is the secret to years of successful working? Martin Devine cites great customer management from Wireless Logic: "We operate in a market place where constant dialogue, issues management and resolution are all important to delivering a reliable, quality solution. As our clients look to Fueltek for these traits, we have looked and received similar from the Wireless Logic team. Market knowledge, clarity of thought and prompt responses to queries have all reinforced our reasons for choosing Wireless Logic as our connectivity provider."
