Welcome to the best Junior sport in Rockhampton!
Junior Basketball in Rockhampton is exploding at the moment with 48% growth in our U10 competitions and 15% growth in our U12-18 competitions over the past 12 months. Our Junior competitions run on Thursday afternoons for U14-U18's and Friday afternoons for U10-U12's.
Year Round Competition
Unlike a lot of sports in Rocky, Basketball is year round with a Winter Season running from April-September, and a Summer Season running from October-March.
Our Next Season
Our next season kicks off on Thurs 12th and Fri 13th of October with a Practice Round. The Practice Round provides clubs with an opportunity to finalize their teams prior to the real season kicking off a week later.
Key Dates for Summer 2017-18
Thurs 12th & Fri 13th Oct – Practice Round
Thurs 19th & Fri 20th Oct – Round 1
Thurs 22nd & Fri 23rd March – Grand Finals
Age Cut-Off
Basketball cut-off dates are a little strange. The official line is; a player cannot turn an age by Dec 31st of the year in which that competition is played in.
To make it simple you can find the corresponding 'year of birth' options for each of our junior age groups below.
Age Group Exemptions
One of the great things about Rockhampton Basketball is that we do consider exemptions for athletes to play down an age if we feel it is in the best interest of that individual player's development and the balance of the overall competition. An example of this might be when a brand new U16 player is looking to take the sport up for the first time. In this instance, we might consider providing an exemption so that the new player can develop their confidence in the U14 competition for a season. Generally, this would only be considered if the player was a bottom age U16 athlete, however all situations are unique and as such treated on a case by case basis.
These decisions are determined by the RBI Development staff in conjunction with the local club delegates, with a number of factors taken into consideration.
Let's Get Down To Brass Tacks – What's Basketball Cost?
Our current registration rates are…
U10's: $140 RBI Fee + $10 Club Fee + *$30 BQ Fee
U12-U18's: $150 RBI Fee + $10 Club Fee + *$60 BQ Fee
*BQ Fee is purchased once every 12 months, meaning Basketball is cheaper in your second season.
Club Fee: This helps supports your club (in conjunction with a lot of fundraising and sponsorship) in contributing towards uniforms, equipment, training costs, and end of season break-ups.
What Do I Need To Play?
Your club will provide you with a singlet for games. All you need is sports shoes and plain black (pocketless) shorts. Alternatively, we highly recommend getting into the club spirit and purchasing a pair of club shorts. These are generally priced at around $35.00 which makes it a no brainer.
Which Club Should I Play For?
We've got some information on our 5 member clubs here (under development). But if you're unsure, simply ring the RBI Development staff on 07 4922 5544 and we'll help you find the best fit. Many of our clubs have loose alignments with local schools so a quick call to the RBI office can help streamline the process.
What Nights Do We Train?
This will depend on the club and the age group. It is best to find a club first and then determine when and where they have their training.
Sign Me Up…Where Do I Register
All our registrations are done online. Simply head to www.rockhamptonbasketball.com.au and click on the register now button or click here. Follow the prompts (really user friendly) and make sure you complete your registration by clicking on the pay now button. Occasionally the pay now button, doesn't show up. If that happens to you, we recommend redoing the registration process on a Chrome browser using a desktop computer. If you're still having troubles give us a call on 4922 5544 and we'll help you out.
We Are A Volunteer Run Organization And We Expect You To Be Involved In Our Community!
Rockhampton Basketball is extremely fortunate to have friendly helpful full-time staff, but the truth is, we are a volunteer run organization. The reason we can keep fees half of what they are in Brisbane and Northern Associations is because we have an amazing Volunteer culture. If you want this to stay the same, we need your help. Clubs are always on the lookout for new enthusiastic volunteers, and as the saying goes, many hands make light work.
Are you interested in positively shaping the lives of the future generation? If so, there is no better way to achieve this than being a coach, and we'll provide you with full training and support. Are you good with organizing people? All great teams have a great team-manager, and again we'll help with a full induction. Would you be comfortable including 8 singlets in your next load of washing? That would be a huge help. All parents will be expected to score on a rotational basis. This is a non-negotiable. We are not a drop and run sport.
We hope that doesn't sound daunting, but the good news is you'll be welcomed with open arms in our Basketball community, and years later when your child looks back on their Basketball experience, celebrating the fantastic new friends and memories they've made along the way, you'll look back with the same.

Gertrude Carter's Diary: An Introduction
Gertrude Carter with her husband Gilbert and son John, 1916
(Library of Congress, Public Domain)
Following the serialization of the 1915 travel diary of an anonymous Boston woman who journeyed down the Nile, and the 1916 line-a-day-diary kept by upper-class Bostonian Mrs. Margaret Pelham Russell, I am continuing to explore the personal narratives contained in the MHS collections in 2017 with the 1917 illustrated diary of Boston-born artist Gertrude Codman Carter.
Born in 1875 to Frank Parker and Mary Codman, Gertrude grew up in a comfortably upper-middle class family that had made its wealth in the textile industry before and during the Civil War [1]. Encouraged in artistic pursuits, young Gertrude was an accomplished artist and studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts during the 1890s and traveled abroad to Italy and France to refine her work as a painter and illustrator [2]. In her late twenties she became the second wife of Sir Gilbert Thomas Carter, a British colonial officer who served as Governor in The Bahamas and Barbados and, briefly, in Trinidad and Tobago.
Gertrude and Gilbert began the year 1917 living in Barbados at Ilaro Court, a residence that Carter had designed herself, with their young son John (pictured above with his parents). Though an ocean away from Europe, the long shadow of WWI hangs over the household even as the activities of white British Colonial society carries on. Beginning in January 2017 we will be following Carter through her year to learn what her diaries can tell (and show) us about the life of a female artist, mother, and white British colonial was like one hundred years ago.
Do you have specific questions about Codman's life or diaries? Leave a comment below! Throughout the year, I will be exploring Codman's biography and context, and will be happy to take requests.
If you are interested in viewing the diary yourself, in our library, or have other questions about the collection please visit the library or contact a member of the library staff for further assistance.

This is really great for all skin types. The shea butter does wonders for skin irritation, razor bump and dryness.
This product is for men, but ladies, feel free to use this on your legs. Feels good! The only thing I would change about it, is the bottle size. It is a 3.2 oz bottle – but for 3 products in one- it would be worth paying the $14.99 and purchasing 2 bottles.

Social anxiety disorder is a condition in which a man fears of being insulted or misjudged by people. They are very scared to indulge in any outdoor activities. In fact, these patients even fear to go to shopping malls or other places where people usually gather. They even know that this thought is unreasonable but struggle to overcome it. They feel restlessness, anxiousness, and nervousness in excess. Taking Xanax medication could be the best possible solution to treat social anxiety disorder.
What happens if you take Xanax pills?
The issue of these patients is that they feel anxious and nervous when they are in need to walk, perform or simply go into the crowd. So, Xanax can be really helpful in this situation. Ordering Canadian Xanax from a reputed mail order pharmacy would reduce these symptoms slow and steadily. As a result, these patients would feel confident in social gatherings.
If you look in detail, a person with social anxiety disorder would have no or fewer friends in their life. While Xanax is taken there are chances for these people to get new friends and can mingle with everyone. The anxiousness and excessive fear are only due to certain natural chemicals in the central nervous system. It would be in the imbalanced state. So when Xanax is taken, it does the conversion of these imbalanced chemicals to the balanced ones thus the relaxation effect is achieved. Moreover, the symptoms also get gradually alleviated.
How to take Xanax to lessen social anxiety disorder in an effective way?
Similar to the administration of Xanax for treating other medical ailments, it should be taken two to three times in a day in divided doses. There is a big reason behind this. The factor is that, when a person get Xanax from a real online pharmacy and when is taken at equal intervals, the effectiveness of it stays in the body for a longer period of time. In fact, to tell it in detail, the effect of this anti-anxiety medication is maintained in a constant level thus providing the positive effectiveness in the patients throughout the day. The course duration should also be taken into account and it should be only for a shorter span as mentioned by the health care professional.
It is certain that these patients would feel nervous even before taking the medication. They might not be sure whether they can take Xanax or not. You have to think only this; if your doctor has instructed you to take Xanax to treat social anxiety disorder then it means that he or she would have thought that this medication can help you in the best possible way. So, blindly go for the drug and experience the effectiveness. Share the positive effects that you have experienced because of the Xanax drug to the medico and this would also be the great way to improve your confidence as well as be useful in examining your body condition after taking this medication. Hope, this blog provided some help to the patients who are suffering from social anxiety disorder.

text: No. I object to a North American Union because it is a contrived vehicle for the United States to control and "americanize" the entire continent in order to pillage all of its natural and human resources. The present NAFTA agreement bears witness to the fact that the US has already manoeuvered itself into a feudal mindset of entitlement to anything it wants to access from the economy of the two other signatory countries who have no equitable means or rights to challenge its takeover. The American government refuses to recognize the need for or to impose necessary ecological restrictions on itself. It acts primarily in its own economic interests without accountability for the impact on other nations.

The Poodles don't shed and this paired to the fact they are highly intelligent has seen these charming little dogs find their way into the hearts and homes of many people. They are also always well received in the show ring thanks to their desire to perform and please.
Poodles are highly intelligent and learn new things extremely quickly. They have an amazing sense of smell and at one time were trained as "truffle dogs" which saw them search, find and then dig up these expensive delicacies and being so careful by nature, they never damaged the truffles they found. Today, the Poodle has gone from strength to strength on the popularity chart although they can be expensive to buy.
It's thought the breed's name "Poodle" comes from the German word 'pudel' which translated means "to plash in water". However, the actual origins of the breed remain a bit of a mystery, but some people think the breed's ancestors originally came from the East or from Africa and that these charming dogs found their way to Europe via Portugal.
Other people think the Toy Poodle like the Standard and Miniature Poodle, originated in Eastern European countries which includes Russia
There is evidence that the larger Standard Poodle was bred to work in marshlands where they were highly prized retrievers and known as excellent "duck dogs", whereas the smaller Toy Poodle was used to find and dig up valuable and expensive truffles. In times long past, they were sometimes referred to a "Sleeve Poodles" because owners kept them as hand warmers when the weather was cold.
In France, Toy Poodles were used as circus dogs because they were easy to train, love to entertain and be the center of attention. Being such intelligent dogs, they learn new things quickly which includes all sorts of tricks and this includes some quite complicated and challenging circus acts. Poodles have remained a popular breed throughout the centuries and for good reason. They are highly intelligent, extremely loyal and real clowns of the dog world which when all added up is why they are such a pleasure to be around. Today, the Poodle is also still one of the most popular breeds.
The Poodle has a proud and noble look about them, although they can be real clowns of the dog world by nature. They are elegant and move gracefully with a prancing gait. The Standard and Miniature boast having lovely even textured, curly single, non-shedding coats which makes them a good choice for people who suffer from pet related allergies. They have fine, long heads with a slight peak.
Their eyes are dark in colour and almond shaped being set nicely on a dog's face with Poodles always having a very keen and intelligent look about them. Their ears are set low and hang close to a dog's face having long and wide leathers. They have a strong jaw with a perfect scissor bite where their upper teeth neatly overlap their lower ones. Their necks are well proportioned in relation to the rest of their bodies, being strong and a nice length which allows dogs to carry their heads proudly.
They have well laid back, muscular and strong shoulders with their legs being well muscled and straight. Chests are deep and quite wide with dogs having well sprung, nicely rounded ribs. Tails are thicker at the root being set high which dogs carry well away from their bodies and very straight.
When it comes to their coat, the Poodle boasts having an extremely profuse single coat that consists of short, close lying, thick, dense and curly hair that covers their entire bodies. Their coats can be trimmed in various ways which is acceptable in the showring. The accepted breed colours for registration with the Kennel Club are as follows: Apricot, Black, Blue, Brown, Cream, Red, Silver, White.
When it comes to tails, traditionally Poodles had their tails docked, but since the law banning the procedure was passed in 2007, puppies can no longer have their tails docked unless there is a medical reason.
Poodles are highly versatile and intelligent little dogs that thrive on human company. They adore being the center of attention and are quick to learn how to please their owners and families. Providing a Poodle is given lots of attention, mental stimulation and daily exercise they are just as happy living in an apartment in town as they are living in a house in the country with a big back garden.
Poodles are high-spirited, intelligent little dogs that boast having a happy outlook on life. They are real clowns and love to entertain and be entertained becoming totally devoted to their owners. They are best suited to households. They are a good choice for first time owners providing they have the time needed to dedicate to their canine companion.
Because they are so smart they are just as quick to pick up bad habits and behaviors which is why a puppy's training must begin as soon as they arrive in their new home by teaching them the "basics" and boundaries.
Their training can start in earnest once they've been fully vaccinated. They form extremely strong ties with their owners.
It's very important for these dogs to be well socialized from a young age so they grow up to be confident, outgoing mature dogs and not timid and withdrawn. Their socialization must include introducing them to lots of new situations, noises, people, other animals and dogs once they have been fully vaccinated. It's also crucial for their training to start early too and it must be consistent throughout a dog's life so they understand what is expected of them. A Poodle is never happier than when they know their place in the pack and who they can look to for direction and guidance. As such, it's best to always treat a Toy Poodle with a firm, yet gentle and fair hand making sure they are not allowed to do anything that could lead to them becoming spoilt and unruly.
Although affectionate and loyal to their owners, the Toy Poodle can be a little aloof around other people they have never met before, but rarely would they show any sort of aggression towards strangers, preferring to keep their distance and bark until they get to know someone.
Are they a good choice for first time owners?
All types of Poodles are a great choice for first time dog owners because they are so adaptable, versatile, happy and highly trainable little dogs that just love to please and they thrive on being in a home environment and involved in everything that goes on around them.
Do Poodles like water?
Poodles are real "water dogs" and will happily play in it and go for a swim to cool off which is why care should always be taken when walking a pet anywhere near more dangerous watercourses just in case they decide to leap in. Dogs should not be allowed to go in swimming pools because of the chemicals used to keep a pool clean can be harmful to them and more especially their ultra-sensitive eyes, noses and ears.
Are Toy Poodles good watchdogs?
Toy Poodles may not be big, but they are effective watchdogs being quick to let an owner know when something they don't like is going on in their environment and when there are strangers about.
Intelligence / Trainability
Much has already been mentioned about Toy Poodles like their Miniature and Standard cousins are exceptionally intelligent and extremely fast learners. They are also extremely sensitive to a person's voice and the way things are said which is one of the reasons why they are so easy to train. As such, in the right hands and environment, these little dogs are highly trainable
Training must start early and it has to be consistent and always fair throughout a dog's life so they understand what their owners expect of them. They excel at many canine sports which includes activities like flyball and agility because they thrive on the attention they are given during their training and the one-to-one contact when competing with their handlers.
The key to successfully training a Toy Poodle is to make their training as interesting as possible and to avoid too much repetition. It's also a good idea to keep training sessions short which helps dogs stay more focused on what it's being asked of them, bearing in mind that the more intelligent a dog is, the faster they get bored
It's very important to set out ground rules and boundaries when sharing a home with a Poodle and the first commands a puppy should be taught as soon as they arrive in their new homes are as follows: Come, Sit, Stay, Quiet, Leave it, Down and Bed.
Children and Other Pets
Poodles are normally good around children although due to their size and gentle nature. They are best suited to households where the children are older and who therefore know how to behave around small dogs and more especially know how to handle them and play with them.
When dogs have been well socialized from a young enough age, they generally get on well with other dogs they meet and if they have grown up with a family cat in a household, they usually get on well together. However, a Toy Poodle would think nothing of chasing off any other cats they encounter because they would see them as fair game. They are usually good around other smaller pets in a household.
The average life expectancy of a Poodle is between 12 and 15 years when properly cared for and fed an appropriate good quality diet to suit their ages.
Poodles is known to sometimes suffer from a few hereditary health issues which are worth knowing about which can include the following: Diabeyes Mellitus, In-Growing Eye Lashes, Legge Perthes Disease / Very Rare, Skin Tutors, Cataracts, Bladder Stones.
More about ear infections
Poodles are predisposed to suffering from ear infections which is why it is so important to keep their ears free of hair and to keep them as clean as possible.
What about vaccinations?
Poodle puppies would have had their first vaccinations, but it's essential for them to have their follow-up jabs at the right time with the vaccination schedule being as follows: 10 -12 weeks old, bearing in mind that a puppy would not have full protection straight away, but would be fully protected 2 weeks after they have had their second vaccination.
Caring for your Poodle
As with any other breed. Poodles need to be groomed on a regular basis to make sure their coats and skin are kept in top condition. Bearing in mind that Poodles benefit from having their coats professionally groomed every few weeks or so. They also need to be given regular daily exercise to ensure they remain fit and healthy. On top of this, dogs need to be fed good quality food that meets all their nutritional needs throughout their lives.
Caring for a Poodle puppy
At Little Rascals Pets your Poodle puppy will have been wormed before being sold and the documentation we provide for your puppy will have all the details of their worming vaccination dates and the product used as well as the information relating to their microchip.
Poodles boast having a profuse, thick and dense single coat that consists of masses of curls that cover their entire bodies. They shed very little, but this does not mean they are easy maintenance because just the opposite is true. Poodles are high maintenance on the grooming front because their coats need to be brushed a little most days to prevent any tangles and matts from forming.
Their coats also need to be professionally clipped every six to eight weeks to keep things tidy and nicely shaped depending on the type of clip they have with the most popular cut being the "Lamb Trim".
Their ears also need to be plucked on a regular basis which is best left up to a professional groomer. Toy Poodles often have tear stains under their eyes which need to be gently wiped with soft, damp and clean cloth. It's also important to check a dog's ears on a regular basis and to clean them when necessary. If too much wax builds up, it can lead to a painful infection.
They shed very little throughout the year which makes these charming dogs a good choice for people who suffer from pet related allergies, although it is also a dog's dander that could trigger an attack.
All types Poodles may be small in stature, but they are energetic, intelligent dogs and as such they need to be given the right amount of daily exercise and mental stimulation for them to be truly happy, well-rounded dogs. They need anything from 40 to 60-minutes a day with as much off the lead time as possible, but only in a safe environment, ideally your garden If they are not given the right amount of mental stimulation and exercise every day, a Toy Poodle would quickly get bored and could even begin to show some destructive behaviors.
If you get a Poodle puppy from any breeder, they should give you a feeding schedule and it's important to stick to the same routine, feeding the same puppy food to avoid any tummy upsets.
Average cost to keep/care for a Miniature & Toy Poodle
If you are looking to buy a Toy or Miniature Poodle, you would need to pay anything from £600 to over £1000 for a well-bred pedigree puppy.
The cost of insuring a male 3-year-old Toy or Miniature Poodle in England will be likely to be roughly £18.43 a month for basic cover, but for a lifetime policy, this would set you back approx. £39.58 a month (quote as of August 2017). When insurance companies calculate a pet's premium, they factor in several things which includes where you live in the UK, a dog's age and whether or not they have been neutered or spayed among other things.
When it comes to food costs, you need to buy the best quality food. We at little Rascals always recommend Royal Canin Mini Junior. Which can prove ideal thought-out the whole life of your poodle family member. Whether wet or dry making sure it suits the different stages of a dog's life. This would set you back between £30 – £40 a month. Please don't forget to factor in veterinary costs if you want to share your home with a Poodle and this includes their initial vaccinations, their annual boosters, the cost of neutering or spaying a dog when the time is right and their yearly health checks.

Report: Mobile Abandonment Improving, But Still Significant
Aug. 20, 2015
While 56 percent of smartphone owners say they have abandoned an e-commerce transaction on a mobile device, that number is down from two years ago when two-thirds said they had done the same, according to a new report from mobile authentication technology provider Jumio. The survey, conducted for Jumio by Harris Interactive, found purchase uncertainty to be the top reason for abandonment (identified by 45 percent of respondents), but usability issues closely followed with 36 percent indicating slow loading times forced them to abandon a purchase while 31 percent said it was too difficult to navigate the checkout process. Despite the decrease in abandonment, Jumio said businesses still are leaving nearly $25 billion on the table.
"As mobile transactions continue to skyrocket, so do abandoned purchases, incomplete account openings, and lost revenue," said Marc Barach, chief marketing officer at Jumio. "Businesses have heeded the warning and are finally prioritizing mobile checkout experiences, underscored by the ten percent improvement in abandonment rates over the last two years. But, experiences are still far from being as seamless as they need to be."
Of consumers who reported abandoning a purchase, 66 percent said they tried again later. Thirty-six percent of those attempts came on a desktop, while 23 percent tried again on a smartphone and only 7 percent said they tried for the second time on a tablet.

Positivity No Negativity Challenge
Day 38 of 84
As the month of December marches on, I start to feel the tension building. It is getting more and more difficult to push out the negativity and to be positive. I have made my lists of things to do, gifts to buy and menus to plan. After all, my children are coming home for Christmas and I should be happy. I want to make a memorable family time for them, especially my daughter-in-law who has never experienced a traditional Canadian Christmas. I've bought her a Christmas stocking in anticipation of filling it with some little love gifts. There is prepared food at the ready in the freezer. The house is decorated. So what's wrong with me? The holy music is playing.
Why am I not happy, merry and bright? Isn't Jesus the reason for the season anyway?
Well yes.
But amidst all the cheery greetings, planning and parties, real life has crept in, and frankly, I am not feeling that merry, happy and peaceful at all.
When the cashier at Superstore wishes me Merry Christmas, I'm thinking of my son who will be coming home in the next few days with his concussion, and I worry about his health, his deferred exams and the success of his university year. I hope he will recover soon and be able to get back to his studies.
And when people send wishes with Happy Holidays written on them, I think of my old car, still sitting on a car lot waiting to be sold, and the bills waiting to be paid with the money from the non-existent sale. I hope the person who is supposed to look at it this afternoon will buy it.
Someone wished me Peace at Christmas and all I could think about is my precious mother, in a hospital bed in Newfoundland, waiting for test results that could devastate the family. I think of my father who is getting tired and discouraged with her condition and I hope for a positive result. I hope that Mom will soon be feeling better.
I think that what I am missing right now is that Hope. But what exactly is it? Wikipedia tells me that it is the state, which promotes the desire of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life or in the world at large. Hmm…I do have a desire for a positive outcome in all these situations.
The Bible says that "…faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
I can't really see the outcomes right now, but I can believe that God will work things out according to His plan.
And Jerome Groopman, in The Anatomy of Hope, tells me that Hope gives us the courage to confront our circumstances and the capacity to surmount them.
So if I have faith, and hope that all these situations will resolve themselves one way or another, it will give me the courage to march right through them.
This is powerful stuff here. By having Hope, my negative gloom and doom attitude can change to a more joyful and positive one.
Today I choose Hope.
1. My sister who left her family for a couple of weeks to be with Mom
2. A visit with my cousin yesterday
3. The doctors and a certain nurse at the hospital
4. Finding the book I was looking for
5. Hope

Camera House : Better Pictures 8
MAKE ME FAMOUS When Camera House launched its Make Me Famous competition on their Facebook page, little did they realise that the winner would be such a talented photographer, Perth teenager Matthew Ball. Matt Ball's interest in photography began when he first discovered the camera application on his phone. "I remember one of my cats, Whiskers, was sitting in one of our gigantic blue flower pots in our backyard. I was about eight, and at the time I had a flip phone that took 2 megapixel pictures," remembers Ball. "I never stopped taking photos of our pets once I was in possession of a device that could take photos, whether it was a camera phone or a digital camera. That would be my earliest photographic memory..." Describing himself as right-brained, Ball says that while other kids were out playing sports he was busy with his paints and books and action figures. "I still don't take an interest in sports or follow any teams," he comments. "Instead I would try to find creative hobbies that suited me over time, which is why I believe that my interest in photography comes from my childhood upbringing and the creative clockworks that still tick in my brain." "Another thing that sparked my interest in photography is a camera in general. How an electronic device can actually mimic a scene and subject and capture it, freezing it. I just think that it's mind-blowing." The first photo Matt took that he was really proud of was quite recently and was included in his entry for the Make Me Famous competition. A night shot of Perth, it captures the Swan River skyline in vivid colour. "The reflections on the Swan River create a really vibrant atmosphere and immediately attracted my attention. I am really pleased with that photo, because I haven't really seen another one like it." As for his inspiration for his work, Ball says he takes an organic approach, "My shots and photos just sort of happen. When I'm in the zone and photographing a subject and I see a certain idea or opportunity I take action, and make that visualisation happen." The teenager admits he would love a career in photography. "I see myself photographing weddings, models and any other creative projects that involve people. I prefer to photograph portraits because every individual has a different personality, a different look and a different story to tell. I can communicate with them as well, which is very Important to me. Creating a strong relationship with the subject enables me to get the right shots... Which makes them and me happy." He says he was shocked to learn he had won the Make Me Famous competition especially given the calibre of entries and says benefits to emerging photographers on Camera House's Facebook page are immense. "There is such a great community vibe and spirit amongst the Camera House Facebook page, everyone helps one another and gives feedback as well as welcoming the new members. It is a place where you can share your personal photos and watch each other grow as friends and as photographers which is great. "I am so grateful for Camera House and everything they do, especially the Facebook community they've created and their genius weekly comp 'Photo Friday' which has given me confidence in what I do and has enabled me to further my photography..." ■ MAtt's shootEr tips • Have a creative mindset wHen sHooting. • try sometHing tHat you wouldn't normally try. • Keep trying even if sometHing doesn't worK out, as you will eventually get tHat golden sHot. • don't get wasHed up in all tHat tecHnical stuff. • Have a visualisation of wHat you want to convey in tHe frame. • enjoy wHat you do!!! 23 profile PHOTO FRIDAY 023_Bpics8_peoplesnaps_v3.indd 23 7/03/12 10:29 AM

Today was the first day of Occupy Savannah. Kiki and I went down to join the protests. It was good. I made a sign that said "Pro Life After Birth" and joined a circle of people talking about their lives and how they've been affected by republicunt stupidity. Then we went to the streets, and yelled. A lot of cars honked at us, especially trucks, and trolleys. There was a lot of standing, and a lot of yelling. Kiki and I shared some pizza for lunch, then back for more of the same. People kept bringing us things at the protest like sammiches, and coffee, and jolly ranchers. It rained on and off all day. I ran into Dr. Skidmore-Hess while there, which was nice. :) We got two "full moons" from passerby. I'd guess 1 in 10 drivers honked at us or waved or cheered us. I couldn't help but thinking that if one in ten of those came and joined us, we'd be a huge movement. We finally left around 6:20 or so.

Abstract: Chemometrics represents an extremely effective data analysis tool. Through its
judicious application, information that would otherwise be obscured within a data set
can be discovered. This dissertation investigates the development of novel
chemometric algorithms for accommodating the presence of uncalibrated spectral
components. It will also discuss building models for both the classification of edible
oils as well as predicting the peroxide value of those edible oils. ☐ Adaptive Regression via Subspace Elimination, ARSE, is demonstrated to be
able to effectively handle the presences of uncalibrated chemical components within
the prediction set. This is demonstrated first with a model system consisting of
Gaussian "model spectra". It is then expand to two different artificial data sets based
upon actual pure component spectra. Across all the data sets a maximum of 4.2x
improvement in prediction compared to just PLS is observed. ☐ Also shown within this dissertation is the ability to build models to accurately
predict the type of edible oil as well as the peroxide value. The classification models
demonstrate an overall 92.75% accuracy. The error for predicting peroxide value
depends on both the type of spectroscopy used as well as the composition of the data
set. The prediction error varies from 3.60 to 8.72 on the same data set for Near IR and
Raman spectroscopy, respectively.

The creation of opulent jewellery and timepieces is the main speciality of the House of Cartier. However, the renowned house has also introduced accessories and fragrances. The perfumes for women and men are as elegant, sophisticated and unique as the jewels of the company. Now you have the opportunity to buy these fabulous fragrances at cheap stockist prices which are hard to match. Do not miss out when you shop for perfumery and cosmetics online.
The company for jewellery making was founded in 1847 in Paris by Louis-Francois Cartier. The grandsons of the founder were the ones to lead the company to international success in the early 1900's. The jewellery makers of the house created beautiful and refined pieces which were highly valued for their unique opulent designs and fine craftsmanship. The British Royal Family was among the main customers of the house with Kind Edward VII issuing a royal warrant to it in 1904. The monarchs of most other European countries were quick to follow and Cartier soon became the maker of jewels for royals in Russia, Spain, Greece, Belgium, Egypt and Monaco.
In the beginning of the 20th century, Cartier introduced major innovations into the design of timepieces as well. The company designed and produced the first ever practical wrist watch called Santos in 1904. It had a square bezel which became a hallmark for the watches of the house. The company quickly became an international leader in the production of wrist watches. In 1912, it introduced two distinct models Baignoire and Tortue. The interesting this about them is that they are still in production today.
In 1914, the famous panther motif was created by the jewellers of the house. They paved the bezel of a round lady's wrist watch with diamonds and onyx stones depicting the pattern of a panther. In 1917, the company introduced the now iconic Tank wrist watch which as inspired by tanks from WWI. In 1924, Cartier introduced one of the most replicated jewellery designs - the three-band ring and matching bracelet in three different gold colours.
At present, the jewellery house has a number of glamorous jewellery collections including LOVE, Trinity, La Dona, Santos, Tank Francaise, Pasha and Happy Birthday. The classic Cartier watches collections of include Santos, Baignoire, Tank, Calibre, Pasha, Ligne 21 and Tonneau. In addition to jewellery and timepieces, the house has leather good, accessory and fragrance lines.
Cartier has launched over 50 fragrances for women and men to date. Must for women and Santos for men were the first perfumes introduced by the brand. They came out in 1981. Both of them started successful fragrance lines. Panther was introduced to the market in 1986. Pasha for men is another renowned line of fragrances for men. It was launched in 1992. The So Pretty line of fragrances for women debuted in 1995.
1998 was the launch year of the classy and super elegant line of fragrances for men called Declaration. In 2001, the company introduced the line of unisex perfumes Eau de Cartier. Delices for women is the latest line of perfumes of the designer brand. De Lune is the latest individual women's perfume.

Leading development economist Dean Karlan to join the Buffett Institute
May 26, 2017
Dean Karlan, professor of economics at Yale and founder of Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), joins the Buffett Institute on July 1, where he will help launch a new center on development economics in partnership with Chris Udry and several other Northwestern faculty, including fellow development economists Lori Beaman and Seema Jayachandran.
"With Chris Udry already set to arrive, Dean Karlan's appointment really clinches the deal: the Buffett Institute, and Northwestern University, will house one of the leading centers for development economics," says director Bruce Carruthers. "Dean is an extraordinarily active researcher who seeks to advance policy debates and have a real impact on human lives. I look forward to some exciting times for the Buffett Institute."
Karlan will have dual appointments at the Buffett Institute and the Kellogg School of Management. His research focuses on microeconomic issues of public policies and poverty. Much of his work uses behavioral economics insights and approaches to examine economic and policy issues relevant to developing countries, with particular attention to policies to increase income and financial wellbeing for those in extreme poverty. In the United States, he works on charitable giving, financial services for the under and unbanked, and behavioral health.
He received his PhD in economics 2002 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and prior to that completed an MBA and MPP from the University of Chicago. He is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, and the Guggenheim Fellowship. Dean is also on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the M.I.T. Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab.
Karlan first visited the Buffett Institute in 2012 to give a talk on solving global poverty. As was (and still is) tradition at Buffett, during his visit as guest lecturer he had dinner with several of Buffett-affiliated undergraduate students. He says he was "extremely impressed" by their enthusiasm and knowledge on global development issues, and cites that experience as an important factor in his decision to come to Northwestern.
"I'm excited to join a community of researchers and students here at Northwestern who have such passion for issues like solving global poverty," he says. "It's clear that the University has a strong commitment to supporting our work at all levels: from generating ideas, to gathering evidence, to building infrastructure, to influencing policy."
For his first year on campus, Karlan's work at the Buffett Institute will primarily revolve around setting up the new Center, which will be an academic hub for empirical development economics. In addition to building research infrastructure and engaging in advocacy and policy outreach, the Center will organize itself around several research clusters, beginning with clusters in Ghana and the Philippines, as well as clusters focused on financial inclusion and social protection. More details about the center will be announced this fall.

Andrzej Stasiuk is a restless and indefatigable traveller. His journeys - by car, train, bus, ferry - take him from his native Poland to small towns and villages with unfamiliar yet evocative names in Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia, Albania, Moldova and Ukraine.
'The heart of my Europe,' he writes 'beats in Sokolów, Podlaskie and in Husi, not in Vienna.' 'Where did Moldova end and Transylvania begin,' he wonders, as he is being driven at breakneck speed in a hundred-year-old Audi - loose wires hanging from the dashboard - by a driver in shorts and bare feet, a cross swinging on his chest. In Comrat, a funeral procession moves slowly down the main street, the open coffin on a pick-up truck, an old woman dressed in black brushing away the flies above the face of the deceased. On to Soroca, a baroque-Byzantine-Tatar-Turkish encampment, to meet gypsies. And all the way to Babadag, near the shore of the Black Sea, where Stasiuk sees his first minaret, 'simple and severe, a pencil pointed at the sky'.
Here is an unfamiliar Europe, grappling with the remnants of the Communist era and the arrival of capitalism and globalisation. Original, precisely observed and lushly written meditations on travel and memory.

Avengers, Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel: January 24th Comic Reel
Comic Book Movie has posted quotes from the Empire Magazine Avengers issue from Joss Whedon and Chris Evans.
"It was an up-all-month job," Whedon said of writing the script. "Finding the characters' voices was not only easy, but glorious fun – it doesn't suck to write Tony Stark – yet finding the structure was just brutal. I haven't had that much trouble making a screenplay work since Serenity, and embarrassingly, for the exact same reason: there's just too many characters."
The director went on to describe a darker side of the actors when they were distracted on set. "When I had everybody on screen, you really saw an uglier side of all these guys, because they would not stop chatting," Whedon said "Giggle giggle giggle, chat chat chat. Literally the only time I raised my voice when were filming was because these guys would not shut up and we had to roll. Don't get me wrong – you would see them standing next to each other going, 'Is his costume cooler? Are his muscles bigger?' But every single one of them was rooting for the other."
Evans described geeking out when in a scene with the fully costumed Thor and Iron Man. "The first time I came on set and saw other people in costume, it was a night-time scene in the woods and it involved myself, Chris Hemsworth and Downey Jr," the actor told Empire. "I had just seen THOR maybe two nights before, so I got on set and I saw Hemsworth in the cape and immediately thought, 'God, there's Thor, I'm looking at Thor,' and then I saw Downey Jr. in the suit. It's amazing. The kid in me would say, 'I didn't get to act with Robert Downey Jr., I got to act with Iron Man.' I'd never had that before, where I had seen actors in a film that I was not a part of and then come to work and help them to extend that character's life. It's like being a little kid."
Directed by Joss Whedon and starring everybody. Opens May 4.
Following the spoiler that 13-year-old actress Joey King plays a young Talia al Ghul in "Dark Knight Rises," ShowBizSpy reports Liam Neeson will be making an appearance in the film reprising his role as Ra's al Ghul from "Batman Begins." However, there was so much secrecy on set, the actor didn't have much to reveal.
"I can tell you nothing about Dark Knight Rises, seriously," the actor told ShowBizSpy. "I was on set for maybe an hour-and-a-half and the director didn't tell me anything of what it's about. So, I'm being very honest when I say I have no idea what's going to happen."
Meanwhile, Christian Bale spoke with the New York Daily News about his final hurrah as the Caped Crusader and revealed Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's "Batman: Year One" was pivotal to his understanding of the role.
"Suddenly, I found Batman has so many issues, he's not a healthy individual, this is somebody that is doing good, but he's right on the verge of doing bad," Bale told the Daily News. "He's got that killer within him that he's desperately not trying to let off his leash. And that's what I always return to."
Opens July 20.
The rumor of Jadin Gould playing Lana Lang in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman reboot has been confirmed to Superman Super Site by Gould's agent. Dylan Sprayberry is still rumored, though unconfirmed, to be playing a young Clark Kent for the film.
Opens June 14, 2013
Apparently, the lawsuit between Relativity Media and The Weinstein Company has been resolved out of court and the remake of "The Crow" can move forward. According to MTV Relativity Media released an email saying all claims were dismissed on both sides. Unfortunately, both director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and actor Bradley Cooper have since left the project, meaning the remake will likely have to start from scratch.
Comic Book Movie has posted some new images from Disney's "John Carter." One of Matai Shang, played by Mark Strong and another of Sab Than, played by Dominic West.
Opens March 9
It's that time again — the Oscar nominees have been announced, but there's not a lot of love here for comic fans. Despite winning the Golden Globe for Best Animated Film, "The Adventures of Tintin" is nowhere to be seen in the Oscar category. "Hugo" got a Best Picture nod and we now live in a world where Jonah Hill has been nominated for an Academy Award. Even "The Muppets" got a little love as one of two nominees in Best Original Song — Bret McKenzie's "Man or Muppet" is up against "Real in Rio" from "Rio."

As shown in this 2016 Fortune article, only 50 Fortune 500 CEO's were present on Twitter, and yes that is up from 42 in 2014, it is still only 10% of the pool. To break that down further, 57 off the list are active on Facebook, 161 on LinkedIn (the most widely used social outlet for business), and only 17 present on Google+.
Sure, in some areas this data has doubled in favor of increasing usage over the past several years, but what does that tell us? We had a mountain to climb, and we are still only part way up.
Why is it that CEOs are not more socially connected in a world where increasingly so, success of all kind (business, personal, political) is virtually dependent on online and social media platforms? Is it that the return on investment seems hazy? It feels like a trivial use of time? Or perhaps, the liability that comes along with the easy and instantaneous access of putting one's views as a person, and not a company, in front of millions, is vast, and carries the potential to damage the reputation of not only the CEO but the company as well?
While the reasons "why not" appear to be aplenty, let's take a moment to reconsider... Here are 3 justifications why it is critical not to ignore these easy access platforms:
There is no other medium faster to build loyalty.
Never underestimate the value of putting a human face to the brand. With 1.23 billion active Facebook users, as of December 2016, and over 300 million monthly users on Twitter worldwide, companies are not only guaranteed to reach consumers or clients on social media platforms, but have immediate access to making impacts on their current and future employees experience. CEO's with an active social media presence give a human face to large companies that want to relate to their customer base.
The good news: CEO social media use is efficient and scalable. One social media post has the potential to reach millions of people, particularly when it comes from an executive reaching out or responding personally to a customer on behalf of the company. Or think about the boost of credibility given if a leader publicly acknowledges an employees' accomplishments? CEO's who want to build public trust of their company and brand will be well served by maintaining active social media accounts.
It is the age of instant transformation, after all.
The happiest and most frustrated users or consumers of any product or service are the most likely to share their joy or anger publicly, and the easiest and most efficient way for them to reach an audience is through social media. Like it or not, your consumers can make or break your reputation through sites like Facebook and Twitter. And your employees through Glassdoor reviews. This information is out there being written, shared, reviewed… companies and their leaders must take a position of ownership versus "head in the sand".
We all watched in awe just a few weeks ago, as #deleteuber swept across all social platforms and the company saw a drastic spike in the number of users deleting the app from their smartphones. Obviously, this is a worst-case scenario, but a CEO active on social media, who has built a following, built trust, and therefore respect, can then make a public comment instantaneously and therefore transform the consumer experience and brand reputation, with again, just a few clicks and a genuine voice behind it. When Travis Kalanick, Uber's CEO, publicly responded to the delete Uber trend you can guess where he headed first? Facebook.
And of course, on the flip side, having access to your consumers through social media channels gives CEOs the chance to respond with appreciation when their customers are incredibly satisfied with the company and brand, bringing joy to both the CEO and the user. Either way, having a developed social media presence gives executives the opportunity to respond directly to their users when and where it matters most. That is, publicly and on a large-scale.
Global reach at your fingertips.
Expanding on the above… Think you will be releasing a new product/service, rolling out a new global internship program, or expanding your company? Rarely will a press release go viral. But a social media post from the leader of the company has the potential to reach far beyond your local market, in days, if not hours. When the message comes from top executive's personal accounts it adds a level of authenticity that is unlikely to occur when it comes through the company's standard social media channels.
Rolling out a global recruitment effort? No problem. A CEO can easily be the ambassador of their talent community in global markets. Taking an interest in talent trends and hiring across the world, a CEO can speak directly to the ears of both passive and active talent pools by taking on an engaging voice in those markets through social media.
It is a message being highly discussed and pushed in publications and we are reiterating it again here, CEOs are the human face to their business, service, product, and overall brand. Take the opportunity and use it to your companies' advantage. Active executives on social networks is rising, but we aren't there yet. Challenge yourself and business leaders to capitalize on the mediums that can be heard 'round the world... Use them, be authentic and show your voice to those eager to hear from you.
