(AP) Split over Cuba could sink hemispheric summits
By FRANK BAJAK and VIVIAN SEQUERA
Associated Press
CARTAGENA, Colombia
Could this weekend's gathering of about 30 Western Hemisphere leaders be the last Summit of the Americas?
The question hung in the air as the leaders convened Sunday for a private morning retreat.
Washington, backed by Canada, was standing fast against widespread demands to include in the meeting's final declaration language specifying that Cuba be included in future hemispheric summits.
Morales and other leftist leaders have been insistent that this weekend's meeting in this Caribbean colonial port, which wraps up at midday, will be the last regional summit under Organization of American States auspices unless Cuba is invited in the future.
The top international adviser to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Marco Aurelio Garcia, said the differences could mean the summit will end with no final declaration.
President Barack Obama's peers lectured him Saturday over his unflagging opposition to Cuban participation in due to U.S. objections to the communist-governed Caribbean island's lack of democracy.
But a senior U.S. administration official said in a briefing for White House reporters Saturday evening that the subject did not come up in any of Obama's brief meetings on the summit's sidelines with the leaders of Guatemala, El Salvador, Argentina and Peru.
The foreign ministers of Venezuela, Argentina and Uruguay have said their presidents won't sign any declaration unless the U.S. and Canada remove their veto of future Cuban participation.
Asked if Obama and the leaders discussed the question of countries not signing off on the final declaration, the official said, "No."
The Cuba issue led Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa to boycott the summit, and Nicaragua's leftist President Daniel Ortega also sat out the meeting, though he offered no explanation. Venezuela's cancer-stricken president Hugo Chavez also was absent. He flew Saturday not from Venezuela to Cuba, where he has been undergoing radiation therapy.
Even moderates such as Santos and President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil said there should be no more America's summits without the communist island.
Obama's administration has greatly eased family travel and remittances to Cuba, but has not dropped the half-century U.S. embargo against the island.
U.S. commercial and political influence in the region has been in decline as China gains on the U.S. as a top trading partner, and many analysts say these regional summits only make sense if they are a departure for serious follow-up on substantive issues.
Obama has also been criticized by some leaders for refusing to abandon a drug war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and undermined governments, although he didn't shy from listening to arguments on the other side.
The summit's host, President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia, urged a reconsideration of the war on narcotics, citing the irony of Colombia's successes: While it extradites hundreds of alleged drug traffickers for trial to the U.S., criminals turn to other countries where law enforcement is weaker. Central America and Mexico, in particular, are bleeding as traffickers shift to countries of lesser resistance.
For some, the summit was overshadowed by an embarrassing scandal involving prostitutes and U.S. Secret Service agents that widened when the U.S. military said five service members staying at the same hotel might have also been involved in misconduct.
U.S. Rep. Peter King told The Associated Press after being briefed on the investigation that "close to" all 11 of the Secret Service agents who were put on leave Saturday had taken women to their rooms at a hotel a few blocks from where Obama is staying. He said the women were "presumed to be prostitutes" but investigators were interviewing the agents.
Three waiters at the hotel told the AP that about a dozen U.S. government workers they presumed were the Secret Service agents had spent a week drinking heavily. One said he witnessed their apparent supervisor line them up and scold them on the hotel's back terrace at about 4 p.m. Thursday.
Immediately thereafter, the men packed their bags and left, said the waiter, who spoke on condition of anonymity because, like his colleagues, he feared for his job.

The question of whether or not we really need to take dietary supplements is definitely a legitimate one, especially when one considers just how many different supplements the pharmaceuticals and sports science industries collectively try to shove down our throats. I mean between the spinal-cord degeneration-prevention, daily calcium tablets (I swear they exist) and the "booster" add-ons we should supposedly take to enhance the absorption of the multivitamins a lot of us already take, a daily ritual of ingesting all manner of supplements should rightfully have you questioning whether or not it's all necessary. All that said however, based on the way in which modern-day living is structured, there are undoubtedly markedly increased demands on our bodies for which the traditional average of three meals a day simply won't do anymore.
So yes you probably do need to take dietary supplements, but only to the extent that the dietary supplements you take actually fill a nutritional void created by the effects of modern day living.
Looking back at my own childhood days (and even into my teenage years), having a full breakfast in the morning, supplemented by nothing more than lunch and dinner throughout the day, was more than enough to fuel my energy requirements with no problems at all. Well there was some snacking in between the meals as well. Now that afternoon nap which was in effect forced on all small children growing up is something I find myself longing for if I somehow skipped taking my vitamins in the morning or if I can't get anywhere near some decent coffee to give me a good energy boost. I guess this is a clear sign of the energy needs of a modern day active woman not being adequately catered to exclusively through regular dietary patterns, so this is definitely a solid case for the need for dietary supplementation.
Physically we demand more of our bodies than what would be the case a mere ten years ago, because if you're not in some way interested in staying fit and getting into shape, then the call of the outdoors will probably make for some increased physical demand on your body. If you're in any way competitively involved in sports or other forms of outdoor activities, some supplementation to aid in muscle recovery is definitely required. Protein shakes made of protein-based supplements aren't exclusively for bodybuilders and if a protein shake supplement isn't used to fuel your outdoor activities and aid your muscle recovery process, then it can work just as well as a very nutritious, fast-absorbing meal replacement.
At times it's simply a matter of not having enough time to sit down for a meal that balances out your nutritional needs, in the grander scheme of things, let alone prepare a wholesome meal using ingredients you'd no doubt take some more time sourcing.
So basically there's a definite need for dietary supplementation in this day and age, however the cocktail of supplements you take (if the need stretches that far) need to fill a specific set of nutritional needs you'd otherwise struggle to keep up with, through your normal diet.

Virtually as cut-price as warez
Yo A troupe of indie developers are selling a unit of their games which includes some of the biggest self-assured games on the market. Gamers can repute their own payment—from 1c to $1,000—as a waiting to a package dispatch of games that would be consistent to be appropriate to round $80 if sold separately. Anyone who buys the container can think haler about themselves as grammatically; customers can send any amount of their purchases to two chief nonprofit groups. The selling, nicknamed the "Ignoble Collection" by the studios la-de-da, is certainly epic. The games included in the case are Mankind of Goo, Gish, Lugaru, Aquaria, and Penumbra Overture. Each of these titles has proven to be a unalloyed cane, and the incident that five away studios are working together to mask of them straight away obtainable to gamers with a view the benefit of in any case much they push to dissipate is unusual. As Jeff Rosen of Wolfire explained to Ars in a unused audience, the close-knit brains of community aggregate indie developers is strapping trusty an eye to the selling's existence.

text: Zenfolio | David Lefranc | New Zealand David Lefranc New Zealand 100 photos 5 reasons to discover the youngest country of the world, a far away trip to New Zealand, capital of rugby in 2011.1. Feel the original nature The helicopter lands on the edge of the crater. The Tarawera volcano is the heart of the North island, the most populated of the two islands, the first discovered by men. Indeed, you feel here like at the dawn of humanity. Even neighbouring Australia seems light years away. In the sky, tinged with colours of ashes and fire, rises Mount Hakuragi where the first rays of sun appears on earth. A prehistoric vision lies all around : lava landscape, fumaroles, geysers and bubbling pools. The earth quivers in a strong sulphurous smell.Further north of Roturua, streches the huge Waipoua Forest, where pine trees mingle with exotics plants and beautiful kauris. Those baobabs of the antipodes were mainly used in the construction of Buckingham Palace. The most eminent of these lords is estimated between 2000-3000 years old and has the largest girth at 16m. He was Peter Jackson's model for the speaking tree of the " Lord of the Rings". Longtime before becoming an Hollywood star, the sacred Kauri tree was named by the Maori people " Te Matua Ngahere" : the " Father of the Forest."2. Meet MaoriThe "land of the long white cloud " was discovered 1000 years ago by the explorer Kupe. Using the stars and ocean currents as his navigational guides, he ventured across the Pacific on his "waka hourua", a voyaging canoe, from Polynesia. The Maori set up a thriving society based on the iwi (tribe) which flourished for hundred of years before the extensive european migration.Today, the beautiful Judy, rows over the Waitangi river, singing a song of her ancestors " toki hi", " I kiss the water". On her left shoulder, the traditional tattoo tells the story of her mother. On the right side, she carries the fate of her father. Maori preserve a meaningful bond with the past. They still carve powerful bas-reliefs and precious jewels. Thanks to their great adaptability, Maori have managed to protect their culture. The Anglican church in the village of Ohinemutu owns a very curious stained-glass : a Christ dressed as a Maori chief walking on the Roturua lake. Maori have also adopted rock'n'roll. Late in the night they dance the hakka boogie in the bars of Opononi.3. Enjoy the vintage charm of RussellOriginally a fortified Maori village known as Kororareka, meaning " how sweet is the penguin", Russell was once known as Pacific hellhole filled with debauched sailors, escaped convicts and wanton women for hire. Today, yachts spend a night or a week-end in "the Bay of Islands" dicovered in 1769 by the famous explorer Captain James Cook. At the helm of the cruising catamaran Ipipiri, Phil Alexander crosses the bay for fourteen years and knows many stories. That evening, he dropped anchor in the mythical " Frenchmen's Bay ". Under the stars, breathing in the austral summer, he remembers Marion Dufresne, the french explorer who completed his adventure here in 1772... in the stomach of a sated Maori. From the pionneer time, the Duke of Marlborough Hotel had survived but his glory was flaking on the blue seafront. Six months ago, a group of friends brought their efforts together to create one of the warmest place in the country. On the terrace with a fish&chips, a malicious old sailor tells how, in 1958, the crew put the throttle on the approach of Russell. The liquor licence at the Duke's bar stopped after 18h.4. Walk down an Art Deco open sky museumFrom the standstone headland of Cape Kidnappers, you have a magnificent view over the city of Napier. " My father stood here, recalls one resident. Suddenly he saw the city lifting up of 4 meters into the air and collapsing." In a few minutes, the earthquake of february 3rd, 1931, reduced Napier to dust. The day after, work began. This dark whaling town on the east coast became an elegant Art Deco capital of the Antipodes, the newest city on the planet. Along Marine Parade, wind and waves are caressing the pastel facades, as one miniature Miami. Fashion is inspired by the 1930s, pearls and feathers are a must in many shop windows. Every february, people dance Charleston in the central avenue to celebrate the Art Deco festival.5. Savour wine of the New WorldThe furious land can eventually be domesticated. For nearly 20 years, New Zealand has been running into the wine race of the New World. Here the oenological culture is very different from that of the Old Continent. At Craggy Range, they celebrate marriages in the winery, white dress among the giant barrels. Pinot noir or Riesling, red or white wine comes from french inspiration like the restaurant, bathed by the music of Charles Aznavour. More surprising, the domain of Elephant Hill proposes innovative wine creations including an energetic rosé as well as an asiatico-mediterranean cuisine. In the middle of vineyards, stands an ultramodern building made of glass and steel... and an antique sculpture of Cambodian elephant. At dinner time, the sun flies along the ocean. In Paris, it already touches the Seine and the first traffic jams. When it is seven o'clock in the evening in New Zealand, it's seven o'clock in the morning in France. The best reason to go at the end of the world could be that one : to feel how much the earth is huge, gorgeous... and round !

Pacific National Bank had a strong first half of 2015, according to earnings results released Wednesday.
The Miami-based bank reported net income of $195,000 for the quarter that ended June 30, compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 and $271,000 for the second quarter of 2014.
That means the bank's profits for the first six months of 2015 were up 236 percent over profits for the first half of 2014.
Pacific's total assets also grew to about $408.1 million in the most recent quarter, up about 15 percent year-over-year.
"Our efforts over the last five years to correct the Bank's regulatory challenges and return PNB to profitability are beginning to yield the desired results," Carlos Fernandez-Guzman, the bank's president and CEO, said in a statement.
In June, the bank was released from a federal consent order established in 2010 for violations of money-laundering rules. Bauer Financial also recently raised the bank's rating from three to four stars.

This is the first family of synthetic trackers replicating the MSCI Hedge Fund Composite index
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 17, 2008) - Innocap Investment Management Inc., a subsidiary of National Bank of Canada (TSX:NA) and BNP Paribas, is pleased to announce that they have signed the first license issued by MSCI to use the MSCI HF Composite Index as a basis for funds that synthetically track the performance of the index. This license agreement completes the roll out of the Innocap family of replication products that was launched in July 2007. Innocap developed a diverse suite of funds, each of which has a clearly defined objective. Salto MSCI HF Composite Synthetic Tracker aims at minimizing the tracking error with the reference index while Verso MSCI HF Composite Short Synthetic Tracker offers a short version for hedging purposes. Dosalto MSCI HF Composite Leveraged Synthetic Tracker will soon be launched to offer a 2X leveraged version of Salto. All products are offered to accredited institutional investors through a Malta based vehicle (Sub-Funds of NBCG Fund SICAV p.l.c.), for which Innocap acts as investment advisor.
Martin Gagnon, Co-CEO of Innocap said: "Innocap developed what we believe to be the most advanced algorithm currently available on the market to track HF indices using liquid factors. We use a sophisticated filter specifically designed for tracking complex trajectories, allowing the products to be very robust and highly adaptable to changes in market conditions. Moreover, the algorithm handles more than 15 factors and allows non-linear exposure dynamics. It represents a new generation of products tracking HF returns."
Innocap believes that synthetic HF index trackers should be offered at extremely attractive terms and conditions. This is why these tracker funds are offered for a very low management fee, with daily NAV calculation as well as daily liquidity and transparency to the underlying exposure for investors.
Innocap chose to replicate the MSCI HF Composite Index. Not only does it have a very attractive risk-return profile in the industry, but it is also a more robust index with a very rigid reporting methodology. "We are delighted that Innocap has chosen the MSCI Hedge Fund Composite Index for their family of synthetic tracker funds," said Henry Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of MSCI Barra.
Jacques Vigner, Global Head of Structuring at BNP Paribas Equities added: "We believe that Innocap's product represents the leading edge in the replicators currently available on the market. We intend to offer it to our clients in different structured products as it offers great flexibility at an attractive price."
Potential investors and clients interested by these products can contact Innocap at 514-390-5709.

Fourteen things. To look forward to in 2014, because 2014 things would take too long. And, I don't even think that an optimist [not me] could point out that many.
1. Self improvement. Say goodbye to the self loathsome holiday overindulgent binge eating at friends and family gatherings. The parties are all over.
2. Organization. Free your home of needle dropping, dehydrated Christmas trees, rogue static charged tinsel decorations and overstayed their welcome house guests.
3. De-stress. No longer need to worry over what outfit to wear, or what clothes will still fit after extensive holiday eating, to that New Year's Eve party.
4. No more regrets. For going to a New Year's Eve extravaganza and realizing that you would have had a better time if you had just stayed home.
5. Get some rest. Don't feel guilty for sleeping in. You've had a long and eventful holiday season. All that eating, drinking, decorating, entertaining and pretending to be happy about it, is hard work.
6. Cut back on your alcohol consumption. The party circuit has quietened down, so you can just stick to your usual closet drinking routine, safe in the confines of your own home.
7. Eat more vegetables. That is all that's left in the fridge now anyway. We ate all the good stuff at Christmas.
8. Stop spending money on things you don't need. This is easy, you don't have any left after buying Christmas presents, party clothes, decadent food and booze.
9. Spend quality time with friends. You don't have any money left, so really, what is there left to do?
10. Read that book you have been meaning to. There isn't anything good on television from early December until around March anyway.
11. Start a book club with your girlfriends. Not only will you sound intellectual to outsiders, but club meetings are really just a clever guise for binge eating like it's still Christmas and drinking like it's still New Year's Eve. Reading the book selections are purely optional.
12. Be kind to strangers. And if you aren't, who would be the wiser, they don't know who you are.
13. Try to get rid of one thing you don't need every day. Yes, eating one of those fruit cream filled chocolates, the ones that no one else wants, once daily from all the cheap boxes you received at Christmas does count.
14. Laugh. Just that. Even if it has nothing to do with what I have written above, or written at all. A sense of humor is our greatest defense against all ills and perils.
Wishing you health, happiness, success and much laughter in 2014.

Continuous Improvement
When improvement is continuous, savings are continuous.
It bears repeating: distributors only offer piece-price reductions – it's all about the parts.
SDI views enterprise MRO from a more comprehensive 360º perspective. We consult directly with your planners, engineers and production and maintenance personnel to connect the dots and uncover opportunities for significantly greater savings across the board. Your supply chain can be complex – savings can be revealed in places you're not accustomed to investigating.
No more rogue spending.
As policy, we track every MRO savings opportunity – from testing and approval through implementation. We then drive the improvement process to deliver significant savings year after year, lowering the total cost of ownership. Reliably, not sporadically. This approach helps eliminate the inevitable rogue spending so common in fragmented operations.
Examples of Continuous Improvement.
OEM Commercialization:
Resourcing or 'right sourcing' standard MRO products identified by manufacturers as OEM parts can provide significant savings up to 50%. That's not even counting the savings from the inventory reduction that results when parts are 'commercialized' to readily available sources.
Product Standardization:
Beginning with a data cleanse, we standardize parts by identifying product duplication – by both manufacturer and part number. When performed across an entire enterprise, the reduced inventories can be staggering, and the leverage for additional price negotiation is greatly strengthened.

Success Story
It takes a progressive manager to push the organization to look at indirect spend and managing it in a different way - but once you see it, then you realize the opportunity.
Today's pace of change does not conform to yesterday's methods or business cultures. In this blog post, SDI explores the dynamics of internal colleagues as well as rapid changes in terms of market disruptions and technology advances.
The project team has worked its way through Define, Measure, Analyze, and Improve. It's time to begin the Control phase. The key stakeholders gather to evaluate the solution as implemented and create a plan to sustain the improvements. The goal is to standardize the improved processes, establish an audit schedule and schedule periodic follow-up to identify additional opportunities for improvement.

The pace is certainly very different here but I seem to have acclimatised well. I was at a clinic this morning that we set up in a nearby district underneath a tree. The Ugandans make very good use of the resources they have. We hung the babies from a tree to check their weight- very safe really and only one cried but I think that was more to do with my white face. A little 3 yr old who lives with her granny as no parents clung to me most of the time and had to be carried away when I left. I showed her pictures of Smudge and she wanted to come to my house to see her. I didn't have my iPad on the field trip so can't upload those photos at the moment. We also drove along some dirt tracks to visit some patients at home.the gentleman I spent time with had TB and HIV suffering some skin irritation from treatment but no grumbles.
The health education focuses on safe water with pictures of animals and people urinating in the river further upstream to try and get across why they should boil their water. I had some one to interpret but this isn't always possible as many tribes with different lingos even the locals don't know so pictures are very useful
A lot of young children get burns so we are advising they build their stove in a smaller mud and wattle building separate to their home to reduce risk.it is difficult to keep burns clean here and dressings not really available.with under 1 yr olds they are kept in their cot with it completely covered in cloth to keep all bugs out but older children cAnt bare to be in the dark this way. One child in the paediatric ward at the moment has burns on his face,chest one leg and one arm .this happened when a candle was knocked over and the mosquito net caught fire.despite no dressings other than Vaseline and gauze his wounds are looking good

I'm a photographer from St. Albans, Vermont, and I started my professional photography career in 1976 when I started freelancing for the local newspaper. Since the mid-eighties, I've made portrait and fine art photography my specialties, and I still attend workshops, conventions, and photography schools to study and practice with some of the best photographers in the nation to continue improving my knowledge and craft of photography. My newest passion is using swimming pools to explore the creative adventure of underwater photography.
I live in St. Albans with my wife, Sally, and I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, Bella, Jason, Hayden and Asher.

When they're viable, commercial remodeling projects have some great benefits. Typically, they require less time investment and can accommodate tighter deadlines than a new build. Remodeling can be less expensive than starting from scratch, and it can allow you to remain in your current location by using the space you already have more efficiently. Below, I've outlined a few of the commercial remodeling projects we've completed over the years.

Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for at least two minutes to help keep your teeth and mouth healthy. Plaque is a film of bacteria that coats your teeth if you don't brush them properly. It contributes to gum disease, tooth decay and cavities.Toothbrushing stops plaque building up. It isn't just about moving some toothpaste around your mouth, though. You need to concentrate on the nooks and crannies to make sure you remove as much plaque and leftover bits of food as possible.
Brush your teeth for at least two minutes in the morning before breakfast and last thing at night before you go to bed. Never brush your teeth straight after a meal as it can damage your teeth, especially if you've had fruit, fizzy drinks, wine or any other food that contains acid. This is because tooth enamel is softened by the acid and can be worn away by brushing. Instead, wait an hour after a meal before brushing your teeth to give your saliva chance to neutralise the acid.
It doesn't matter whether you use an electric or manual toothbrush. They're both equally good as long as you brush with them properly. However, some people find it easier to clean their teeth thoroughly with an electric toothbrush.
For most adults, a toothbrush with a small head and a compact, angled arrangement of long and short, round-end bristles is fine. Medium or soft bristles are best for most people. Use an electric brush with an oscillating or rotating head. If in doubt, ask your dentist.
The cleaning agents and particles in toothpaste help to remove plaque from your teeth, keeping them clean and healthy. Most toothpastes also contain fluoride, which helps to prevent and control cavities. It's important to use a toothpaste with the right concentration of fluoride. Check the packaging to find out how much fluoride each brand contains.
It's fine for babies and children to use the family toothpaste rather than a special children's toothpaste, provided it contains the right concentration of fluoride.
The British Dental Health Foundation gives the following advice on how to brush your teeth:
Flossing isn't just for dislodging food wedged between your teeth. Regular flossing may also reduce gum disease and bad breath by removing plaque that forms along the gum line.
You can use interdental brushes instead of flossing, especially if your teeth are very close together and you find it difficult to manoeuvre dental floss through the gap.Avoid using toothpicks to remove trapped food from between your teeth, as you could cause your gums to bleed, which can lead to an infection.
Yes, using a mouthwash that contains fluoride can help prevent tooth decay and help get rid of any last bits of bacteria or leftover food that you might have missed with your toothbrush.However, don't use mouthwash straight after brushing your teeth. Choose a separate time, such as after lunch. And don't eat or drink for 30 minutes after using a fluoride mouthwash.Many mouthwashes contain alcohol, so they're not suitable for children, as they could swallow them accidentally. If you use a mouthwash with alcohol, you may get a very dry mouth and dry, cracked lips due to the drying effect of the alcohol. You can avoid this by using an alcohol-free version.
Plaque-disclosing tablets work by dyeing plaque either blue or red and can be very useful at showing you which areas of your teeth you're not cleaning properly.As the staining can last for some hours, it's best to use these tablets at bedtime or when you're not expecting visitors.

Cyberbullying is Worsening an Already Difficult Situation for Teens
The question of whether teenage girls are getting meaner comes after the bully-provoked suicide of 12-year-old Florida teenager Rebecca Ann Sedwick. Harassment, physical violence, and bullying via cyberspace are all tools being utilized by malicious teenagers these days, but is it worse in recent times than it was before? Is there any way to combat this behavior?
Rebecca Ann Sedwick was being viciously threatened and bullied for more than a year by no less than fifteen fellow teenagers before she opted to leap to her death from a tower. The two main culprits were arrested this past week and are facing felony charges.
There are hundreds of teenage boys and girls who face similar tribulations on a day-to-day basis, and like Sedwick, many of them feel like they have few choices left in the world. One in three teens reported being bullied at school in of 2009. Twenty percent of teens have been made fun by a bully, 18 percent were gossiped about, 11 percent were physically bullied, 6 percent were threatened, 5 percent were excluded, 4 percent were coerced into doing something they didn't want to do, 4 percent had belongings destroyed, and 4 percent were victims of cyberbullying.
"The New Kid" is an anti-bullying musical that a group of New York area girls began performing in order to create awareness about bullying, as they've been victims of bullying themselves. The girls also sat down with NBC's Kate Snow to discuss their personal experiences.
The girls shared how they've been criticized and ostracized, and sometimes even physically assaulted. And they acknowledged that girls who bullied were undoubtedly motivated by a desire to be popular, to acquire power, to be in the 'in crowd', or out of jealousy.
"I feel like some people are just sucked in," said Sienna Schofield, one of the performers. "Like my friend. She's been my friend for years. And recently, in middle school she's popular because of some of her mean friends. She's not a mean person. But when she's with them, she's mean to other people. And she feels like she has to be mean."
The girls also spoke about how many parents look the other way, and Sedwick's mother agreed. She stated that she would like parents to monitor their children, because she wished that she continued to do that.
Psychiatrist Sue Verma stated that the rise in cyberbullying should certainly cause a rise in concern among parents.
"Social media has its effect and impact creating a permanent, public and lasting humiliation. So a lot of what parents need to do is to be able to A, monitor what's involved and B, bolster self-esteem and confidence."
She continued to say that parents should speak to their children about how they feel, emotionally and physically, and she encouraged parents to show their children affection.

"The tendency for cognitive processes to minimize processing effort and resources" (Colman, 2014).It assumes that when we categorize our brains we try to make them informative with as little expenditure of mental energy as possible.
We make an average of 226.7 decisions everyday in food alone (Wansink & Sobal, 2007). Yes, that's a lot and we are not even aware of some of them! We make hundreds of decisions every day but is it beneficial to cut it down?
A good example unveils the reason behind "Why does Mark Zuckerberg wear the same grey t-shirt every day?" It has been bugging some people for many years. See for yourself.
"I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community."Einstein did it, Steve Jobs did it and now Mark Zuckerberg is doing it. The idea behind this is that as we develop a relative level of expertise and automatic thinking, it allows us to not only behave quickly and efficiently but also to focus our mental energy to purposeful activities.
Sometimes, I don't even remember if I brushed my teeth but I'm confident that I did because I do it everyday. I do it out of hygiene but mostly out of habit. To mindlessly brush our teeth conserves our cognitive energy for other meaningful activities (such as your work presentation) during the day.
William James, American philosopher and psychologist even argued that "only by rendering many aspects of daily life automatic and habitual, can we free our minds to advance to interesting fields of action" (Lamoreaux, 2013).
The art of mindlessness can be a beautiful thing, being able to free your mind to habitual feasts, gives room for creativity imagination and innovation. This trait of mindlessness and giving into daily rituals have been prevalent in the lives of other creative and genius minds across culture and time.
According to Mason Currey (2013), there were 6 significant similarities that emerged among most of creative minds such as Marcel Proust, Charles Darwin, Andy Warhol, Patricia Highsmith, Twyla Tharp, Benjamin Franklin, William Faulkner, Jane Austen, Anne Rice, William James and the list goes on. These are namely:
- Be a morning person
- Embrace your day job
- Take lots of walks
- Stick to a schedule
- Practice strategic substance abuse
- Learn to work anywhere.
As you can see, an automatic mind, in some cases can be shown to be more pragmatic! After freeing up our minds with the unnecessary, it is then up to us to function, create, and innovate.

I was so excited when Phoebe's mummy showed me a picture on pinterest of an idea she had for Phoebe's first birthday shoot - she is also an (old) school friend. We decided on Newport wetlands with the backdrop being the Usk lighthouse though we had not quite anticipated the breeze that occurred! So much so, that Phoebe's daddy had to hold down the hot air balloon, lovingly created by her mum and dad, not that it was going to take her away more like it would push her over! Mum painstakingly made the hot air balloon with a friend (dad helped!) using lots of material covering a beach ball and canes for the uprights and a wicker basket with comfy cushions for Phoebe to sit in. Daddy did a fine job on the day of holding down the balloon in the wind so she didn't take off and mummy managed to capture these hilarious pics 'how we photographed it' at the end, my kids helped too!! See daddy holding Phoebe at the end of the blog! Well done to Cath and Ashley and of course the star of the show Phoebe. Enjoy! x x
And the crazy images capturing how we did it!!!

Artist Biography:
"I am a father of two kids under ten, who loves movies, cartoons and gadgets.
For as long as I can remember I have loved to sketch, watch cartoons and play with action figures.
These passions lead me to a career in Graphic Design and I've been lucky enough to have a career spanning almost twenty years.
As time progressed I found myself in more leadership roles where the focus was on developing junior designers. By sharing my knowledge and passion I realised that I enjoyed educating staff more than working with clients.
After this light bulb moment I shifted my career path towards education and over the past five years I have been teaching within the Vocational Education and Training sector and running small workshops for secondary school students.
Currently I am studying a Masters of Teaching (Secondary) in a hope to be able to contribute further to the development of future visual designers."
Artist Statement:
"Looking through the Chifley Home I was instantly drawn to the silhouette portrait of Ben Chifley. It reminded me of flat vector graphics which I often use.
The nature of this simple portrait was also appealing to my inner designer. Like logo design you are confronted with representing many different attributes within a single image.
This object and the underlying family values displayed within the Chifley Home would be the inspiration for my works.
'Child's Play' examines the influence of modern culture on young girls.
Using digital photography and image creation techniques I ask the question; What are the effects of constant exposure to female stereotype on young girls?"
Each image represents a persona shown in mainstream media and questions the outcomes when young girls seek to emulate such stereotypes."

President Adama Barrow has called for the restructuring of the Gambia's security forces to include better incentives for the men and women of the civil service that are one of the most underpaid.
The low wages and nearly non-existent incentive for the men and women in uniform has plagued the security service with corruption and drug peddling.
President Barrow, who is rolling out a military reform program hopes that better incentives and the reforms will create "a disciplined and professional force."
Gambia's army chief, Lt. Gen. Masanneh Kinteh warned soldiers against the use of illegal drugs and trafficking or committing human rights abuses.
The country is facing serious security challenges and West African forces have been deployed to maintain the peace after longtime ruler, Yahya Jammeh's ouster.
Gambia's new government said the days of impunity are over assuring citizens that "everyone will feel secure because there will be respect for the rule of law."

On Saturday evening, Zvonareva or Clijsters will play the winner of tomorrow's other semi-final between Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki and China's Li Na, and any one of those four will be a new champion in Melbourne.
Whoever ends up making the winner's speech at the weekend ought to recognise that the landscape of women's tennis looks completely different without Serena Williams, last year's Australian Open champion, who has not competed since she trod on some broken glass at a restaurant in Munich last July.
Zvonareva, a world No 2 who would not cause much of a commotion if she walked through Federation Square or along Melbourne's South Bank, had a 6-2, 6-4 victory over the Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova, which was followed on a cloudy day by Clijsters beating Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 7-6.
Zvonareva and Clijsters will be playing for the third successive slam. It was while Zvonareva was beating Clijsters in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon that the guards at a young offenders institution in Kent turned off the television, provoking the prisoners into hurling rocks and taking a hostage. In the US Open final, Clijsters annihilated the Muscovite in a one-sided match.
Radwanska's Australian Open will mostly be remembered for that straight-to-YouTube moment when she was playing a shot in her first-round match and her racket suddenly broke at the neck, and the head of the frame went flying. She was left holding the grip, and a look of absolute bewilderment.
Against Clijsters, there were no exploding rackets, and Radwanska played a decent match that saw her serve for the second set when she held a 5-4 lead, and if she had taken this into a decider it could have got very interesting. As it was, Clijsters, the only former grand slam champion left in the draw, broke Radwanska and then won the tiebreak.
By making the last four, Wozniacki has already guaranteed that she will remain as the world No 1, but her main concern at this tournament was always going to be trying to win a first slam title.

Heya, my old profile description was really annoying, so here's a new one!
M'name is Saya, though what you call me is up to you. I've been writing for four years now, though only three or so on ffnet. I'd like to finish everything I start, but I've sort of lost the will to do anything with a great deal of them, and yet my sentimentality prevents me from deleting them... Sorry for being a tease like that. With luck, I might someday have the time to finish them?
That being said, all of my D.Gray-man stories are on haitus, and chances are will forever remain so. Maybe someday in the future, I might have time to update them, but don't hold your breath. Sorry for the fail.
Saya likes:
Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn!
Angsty plots
fluffy drabble things
Well-developed plots and IC characters
lovely long reviews that have helpful criticism and encouragement in them.
Saya dislikes:
homophobic fantards that always have their panties in a bunch
people who make pointless comments about something sucking, and then don't add any helpful criticism on how to make it better.
People who purposely use improper grammar. Leave the myspacian on myspace.
under-developed plots that rely on cliches.

K3 takes wraps off hosting division
K3 has launched a hosting operation to provide an answer to growing customer demand
K3 Business Technology Group has launched a hosting division that will sell cloud services internationally building on the work already done by the firms managed service operation.
Emerging revenue opportunities for the channel with digital transformation
Digital transformation is a phrase that means many things to many people but for it to have any real relevance to the channel then it needs to mean a chance to make money. This guide will share some of the recent developments in the channel and the latest thoughts about the issue.
The K3 hosting operation will be headed by Neil Farnworth who will work with director Ed Renwick and a team of 70 staff that will be selling IaaS globally using its access to 300 data centres.
Along with IaaS the new company is also going to provide SaaS and hardware and networking as a service as well as a hosted disaster recovery service and project management facilities.
The firm has been set up against a background of increasing demand for enterprise cloud solutions that can provide storage options as customers continue to generate more data.
"For many organisations, maintaining an IT infrastructure can be a difficult task that takes resources away from its main focus – that's why cloud based services are in demand and we have seen interest in our own cloud provision increase significantly over the past few years," said Renwick.
"That's why we are launching K3 Hosting and our own IaaS offering, so we can support business critical systems and help companies save money and enhance productivity, taking the hassle of IT infrastructure away," he added.

Valuable Links
The links I have included on this page are the ones that I believe that you should explore if you want to become a better public speaker. Please mention in your comments if you have a favorite link or two that you would like included. More importantly, if you want YOUR link included, let's swap links.
Champs Edge: This link will connect you with six world champions–Darron Lacoix, Craig Valentine, Mark Brown, Ed Tate, and David Brooks–and Patricia Fripp, an outstanding speech coach. They offer boot camps in speaking, storytelling, humor, and becoming a professional speaker among other things. They also have books, DVDs, and CDs as well as a service to critique your speeches. The genesis of all three of my speeches I used in reaching the finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking was their boot camps. The principals of the EDGE have their own web sites that should also be looked at.
Lance Miller: Another World Champion who is a valuable resource to public speakers is Lance Miller. Two days before the District Conference in 2008, he gave me an hour of his time and refocused my speech. I am convinced that this is what made me a winner.

Obsessions into Dreams
By Steven Leal
June 16th – July 22nd 2018
Obsessions into Dreams is Steven Leal's first solo show in NYC. Featuring two separate and quite different series of paintings from his career, the show presents a shift from an earlier exploration of the color, energy and ethos of horse racing, to his more recent experimentation with abstraction.
Born on the Isle of Wight, Steven is a self-taught artist who is best known for his ever-evolving sets of painting series. He has been most influenced by the work of Mondrian, de Kooning, Turner, and Pollock. Each of his paintings are reworked several times to develop depth, contrast and new meaning. Steven experiments with color, texture and medium to create works that are unique unto themselves while maintaining a balanced visual aesthetic.
Steven continues to experiment with new techniques as his work evolves while maintaining a slight yet recognizable continuity throughout each series.
View more of Steven's work at stevenleal.blogspot.com
The show runs from June 16 - July 22nd and will be open on weekends only Please send inquiries to email@example.com

Book 2 in the Four Letters series finally has a synopsis to go with its shiny cover! If you're a fan of the series, you'll know Bryn as Jade's lovable brother, affectionately referred to as B.
Love, Lies, X's and O's (Four Letters Series #2)
By Christina Channelle
Genre: Contemporary Romance | Age Category: New Adult | Release Date: September 6th, 2016
With money problems and an infant child to keep her on her toes, straight-laced Kimber Lee doesn't have time for relationships. But that doesn't stop the Converse-wearing flirt at her aunt and uncle's wedding from declaring his undying devotion to her on the dance floor.
After the death of a former bandmate, recovering alcoholic Bryn Reamer no longer takes life for granted. He does what he wants when he wants, and that includes pursuing a very reluctant Kimber.
The two are as polar opposites as they come but they learn to toss that aside and focus on a chance at happiness. But when their past gets in the way, it's up to them to decipher if their love for each other is real, or merely disguised as lies.

Rapid adoption of digital tools in Philippine workplace to continue in 2017: IPC
"The adoption of digital tools which started in 2016 extends to 2017 and beyond, as Filipinos become more digitally reliant not only in their personal lives but at work as well," said Niño Valmonte, Director for Product Management and Marketing of IPC.
In line, the cloud services and data centre company revealed the top ICT trends that they believe will dominate the Philippine workplaces in the coming year.
The rise of telecommuting
According to IPC, businesses in the country are now looking to implement work-at-home or work-from-anywhere options as office spaces are becoming smaller, and traffic situation worsens.
"With almost everyone having devices and Internet connection at home or on the go, the option of telecommuting is viable for employees who want to stay productive," said Valmonte.
In fact, the Philippine government considers telecommuting to mitigate traffic gridlock in the country.
Online chat apps for collaboration
IPC said online chat apps will become more prevalent to allow them to collaborate or talk in private messages.
IPC cited several online companies which released their own services to optimise online collaboration at work, like Workplace by Facebook and the addition of Google Duo in Hangouts chat feature.
The company underscored that instant messaging tools are useful in the workplace because everyone can see what is going on in real time. "It's just like a meeting but better since everything sent is saved and archived," Valmonte explained.
Deriving business value from data
IPC noted that businesses will increasingly spend time on deriving business value from data. It added the organisations will have to adopt technologies to map with the Internet of Things (IoT).
"Analytics drive business by showing how your customers think, what they want, and how the market views your brand. In the coming year, this will be a cornerstone of how businesses operate. Every important decision can and should be supported by data and analytics," said Valmonte.
Beefing up security posture
Unlike other botnets, which are typically made up of computers, IPC said the Mirai botnet was successful as it targets almost anything that can be connected to the internet.
In line, they believe the companies in the country will use more sophisticated security tools such as signature-based detection to quickly identify and prevent botnets.
"Almost all devices in a business can be compromised so it is imperative for business owners to employ DDoS mitigation systems," said Valmonte.
Increasing integration of automated processes
IPC said the integration of automated processes in the businesses will continue to rise in the coming year as more companies are becoming aware of the benefits of going digital.
"Consumer technologies like tablets, social networks, group video calling, and a deluge of mobile apps, have not only made personal lives easier, but has likewise removed boundaries in the workplace. The demand to 'work the way you live' has facilitated widespread digital adoption in the enterprise. Information is now cascaded in real time which significantly accelerates the decision making process- a critical capability for every company in today's highly competitive market," said Valmonte.
"If a company doesn't take advantage of these benefits, they run the risk of being left behind by competition who do," he added.

The Buccaneers showed us the glimpses of what their future could be -- even when a sea of yellow and a rolled ankle reminded us that, for now, it's still more of the light at the end of the tunnel.
Rookie quarterback Jameis Winston was sharp in his first home start, despite having some nice plays wiped away by his teammates' errors. Winston even got banged up along the way, too.
All in an August night's work for a No. 1 overall pick. Before the game, Bucs coach Lovie Smith explained why Winston was ahead of the curve for a rookie.
More from FoxSports
"He's handled everything we've given him so far," Smith said in an interview. "That's about all you can ask for right now."
Smith also said Winston looks like a natural leader. You can see below that he's already running the show in the pregame.
Winston's poise was evident on the first drive, which couldn't have gone any better for the Bucs and Winston.
The rookie was 3 for 3 for 27 yards and capped the drive with 1-yard touchdown where he got creamed going over the pylon. Winston showed ability to go through his progressions, especially on a check-down to running back Doug Martin for a gain of 9 yards.
"It's not too big for him," wide receiver Vincent Jackson said later during a TV interview. "You can see that he comes out here and he's composed. ... The way Jameis has taken hold of this offense it's been fun."
Winston certainly looked better when he got some help.
Martin, who had 61 total yards on the first drive, looked like the runner he was when he burst on the scene in 2012 to the tune of 1,454 yards and 11 scores. In the past two seasons, Martin has just 950 yards and three scores. If he can return to form, Winston won't have to win games with just his arm.
The drive went 80 yards in eight plays in 4:06. For his first drive in front of his new home fans, it seemed to be right out of a Hollywood script. Or, well, offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter's script.
The Bucs looked to continue their mojo on the second drive, but Winston overthrew receiver Mike Evans on a deep play-action pass that could have gone for a touchdown. Still, it showed Winston wasn't afraid to challenge the defense.
On the next snap, offensive pass interference by Jackson called back a play where Winston scrambled to his left and made a pinpoint throw to the sideline. That wiped out a 17-yard gain. That was one of six offensive penalties the Bucs had while Winston was in the game.
The flags negated positive gains four times and wiped out momentum for the rookie quarterback and the offense.
Winston finished the night 8 for 13 for 90 yards through the air, but none of his completions were prettier than a first-and-20 seam pass to Russell Shepard for 22 yards.
Asked what Winston's best quality is, Jackson said: "His intelligence. His football IQ is amazing."
In his first game, against the Vikings, Winston got off to a rough start but finished strong. He was 9 of 19 for 131 yards and one interception, but Winston completed 5 of 6 passes for 64 yards and finished a drive with an 8-yard TD run.
"He made the right checks and things like that, looked comfortable in the pocket, especially at the end," Smith said after that game.
Winston did that again for an abbreviated stint on Monday night. And Tampa Bay can't wait until it can see him do it for four quarters.
