Gossamer Damselfly
Scientific Name: Ischnura aurora
This is the smallest damselfly of the six species found in New Zealand, measuring less than 25mm in length. The wharf pond is often host to a good population of the gossamer damselfly.
It has a distinctive colour pattern with males having a red abdomen with a blue patch at the tip, while females have a greenish abdomen.
The species prefers ponds with still water bodies with vegetated margins. Males are usually seen more frequently than females as the latter can range far and wide looking for new water bodies in which to lay their eggs.
The species is widespread, being found in India, Pakistan, China, Australia and some Pacific Islands. It is a relative new-comer to New Zealand, first recorded in 1926. It is widespread throughout the North Island but has only recently been recorded in the South Island, at Farewell Spit.

Our Deepest Fear
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others".
-Marianne Williamson-
Dear ones,
For more than twelve years I have been learning about consciousness and awareness through reading books and taking part in seminars and courses.
I was so glad when I found out about the movie The Secret. The movie brings in such a clear way of everything is possible and the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction is one of the many laws of the universe that exist whether we acknowledge them or not, very much so like the law of gravity.
The beautiful part about the laws is that if you work with the laws you can make "quantum jumps" and skip between dimensions to change your surroundings and your reality. Just like swimming with a wave and not against it, flying with the wind and not against it, working with the government's laws and not against them.
Once we realize the power of working with the laws, the phrase "everything is possible" becomes present and available for us.
The law of attraction talks about attracting, magnetizing something I want into my life. What do I want to bring into my life? How do I want my life to look? How do I want to feel? Which house do I want, which car, which partner? The law of attraction allows me to bring my will into existence.
Notice, I said "will," not desire or urge. A will is something that exists all the time, while desire comes and goes. The will is present and I can bring it into existence. All that is required from me is to pay attention to what I really want and be connected to my will. When I focus with every part of my being on my will I can become one with the thing I want the most. I have to make my will heard and say it out loud to the universe and then I have to let it go.
Through that I will allow the universe to perform its job and bring me what I have requested.
I am letting go, although I must stay alert and read the signs that come before me. When an opportunity comes I must recognize it and move right away. The universe loves speed and there is no time to waste.
Its clear that when I request something the universe will bring me the opportunity for it. But if I do not pay attention I may miss my opportunity and then I cannot follow through with my part in this game.
When I miss an opportunity because I do not see it, I could say, "That law of attraction doesn't work." Or if some time went by and still nothing happened, usually people will say the law does not work well enough. The universe hears my words and says in reply you are probably right, therefore bringing into existence the reality that the law does not work.
Time in the universe is exact. Everything happens in coordination. Everything happens in the right time for it to happen. That is why if I am a bit impatient I have to learn patience and understand that everything happens for me in the most fitting timeframe.
For years I have painted abstract paintings that I receive through meditation, dreams and thoughts that come up. All of my inspiration is around helping people and showing people where the path is and what road they should follow.
The messages about my work are definitely clear: Human beings are longing for togetherness.
The single era has ended. Human beings need each other.
What happens today is the complete opposite, people are getting farther away from each other and using media like the Internet and cell phones and don't feel or get close. In most cases people are closed within their own little square and in some cases also not caring about others.
In my paintings I bring a clear calling to a different kind of togetherness and bring the consciousness into visualization so human beings can help themselves through it, and remember their way, remember the journey in which they came to, and the dear people along the way.
I feel a great privilege to paint these paintings and bring them before people.
Blessed be our Journey
Much love
In someone else's belief, you are rich and free.
In someone else's eyes you are smart, capable and daring.
In someone else's world of existence you have it all.
In someone else's level of experience you have already reached their
understanding of nirvana.
Whatever your story is, you are as blessed as you are willing to
recognize you are." - Kryon

Today I went to Ihop right when they opened at six o'clock this morning because I was up. I zonked out last night after I got home from school and the gym at about five or so in the afternoon. Then I woke up at three this morning totally awake thus the Ihop going then to work.
I work at a pottery painting studio where anyone can come in and paint a ceramic bisque piece then we glaze and fire them to become a shiny glassy finish. Super exciting I know. There is a lot of behind the curtain work that is done when nobody is painting so there is always something to be done. It gets exhausting at times and fun at others. Today we had a girl scout party come in so we show them all the behind the scenes work so that they can earn their badges after they paint their pieces. It was cute because they had all these questions that they couldn't contain while I was talking they kept blurting them out. Then I met up with Melissa and we had dinner and talked about school and work. And now I am here writing this while watching The Flash on hulu.

Today is the first day of my last semester at West Valley College. I officially have to start getting ready for school in about three hours. I am excited and nervous just like I am at the beginning of every semester because this is new. I am taking four classes and I am excited for every one of them. I wonder who will be in my classes, what I will learn and how this class will help me in the future. I am extra excited this semester because this will be my last...for now. Change is coming and I cannot wait!
Also this is my first post. I wanted to start this blog because I can. It'll be a good outlet even if nobody ever reads it.
TTFN! Ta ta for now,

----Being Romanian, I hope that I could help some of you with some insider information about our national football team.
As far as squad news are concerned, we do not have numerous injured players at the moment. We are really fine concerning this aspect of the game, but the value of our squad is not remarkable at all.
Do not get fooled by the outstanding defensive record in the preliminary round. (We conceded only 2 goals, the best performance in the qualifiers). Romania had arguably the weakest preliminary group in the history of the qualifiers and did not even manage to finish first in a group in which Greece was beaten twice by Faroe Islands, Finland was mediocre while Hungary and Northern Ireland did not play impressive football. It was just a horrendous group in which the quality of the matches was really low.
However, I am not saying that the Romanian team does not defend well at the moment. They proved it against Spain that they are capable of playing compact fotbal in defense but even so, the Spaniards had enough scoring chances.
Romania can play well defensively but I think this European Championship will show in fact that Romania is not that good at the back. Except for Grigore, who is a decent central defender, we do not have the stability that we previously had with Gică Popescu and more lately Cristian Chivu.
The managerial style of Anghel Iordănescu, the 65-year-old coach of Romania is very defensive. He is one of the most defensive-minded coach and conceding only 2 goals in the preliminary round speaks volumes about it given the fact that Romania was not supposed to defend against any of its opponents: Hungary, Northern Ireland, Finland, Greece and Faroe Islands. In fact, a group in which all the teams were defensive minded made Romania look appalling at times as Anghel Iordănescu insisted on not taking risks at all.
Romania does not have any star players at the moment. In 2008, we approached the Euro having Chivu and Mutu in our squad which meant some prestige to our squad. We now only have Rat, Maxim, Tatarusanu and Chiriches who have got some European prestige. If you have not heard of them, that is about what I am trying to intend.
The more positive side of this story is the fact that Romania plays like a team now. They seem to be more united than in the past and play more compact at the back. The passing game can be quite good at times but that depends very much on the pressure the Romanian players have to face.
It is known that Romanians often fall short in the important competitions because we do not manage to stay cool-headed.
I expect Romania to play very prudent football against France in the opening match of Euro. I feel that our campaign depends a lot on the result we will get against the home side. If Romania manages not to get defeated by France, we can certainly reach the last 16. Switzerland should beat us, however, as they are a superior team to us.
All in all, I believe Romania is sure to be incapable of winning the group, but might end anywhere between the 2-4 places. Romania vs. Albania is going to be a tighter match than a lot of people expect because they play football alike.
In conclusion, I expect Romania to be one of the lowest scoring teams in this Euro and to be unable of facing the huge amount of pressure. Romania could lose all the games if they will not take risks. The fate is in Anghel Iordanescu's hands. Will he take more risks now? I doubt it.
I do not like to brag about my successful bets or something like that, but I hope that my information was helpful for some of you. It appears that I was right regarding the overrated defensive record of Romania as they conceded in each game and a total of four goals, and Anghel Iordănescu has not taken risks. Looking back now at Romania s Euro, it is quite surprising that we did not lose to Switzerland in the second half and the fact that Romania played so well against France.
It is a pity that most Romanian players were satisfied with their performance in the opening game and with the idea of impressing people worldwide and that looked to be enough fulfillment for them. Of course, they fought a bit for qualifying but there was no real drive.
Except for Andone (the striker from Cordoba) and possibly Stanciu or Chipciu, this team needs to be built from scratch. The mentality is nowhere near where it was 15 years ago and the style of play is one of the most boring in the modern game.
The only good news is that Anghel Iordănescu is likely to quite managing the national football team of Romania.
Long passes from defenders will not win you games but Romania keeps on doing this kind of things. As a Romanian, I am not going to be very optimistic about the near future and I can guarantee they are not going to reach the 2018 World Cup. For those interested, they play in a group with Poland, Denmark, Montenegro, Armenia, and Kazakhstan. There should be solid odds for Romania to finish outside the top 3 in that group.

Heisenberg - Fruity with a Twist!
Not helpful? We will attempt an explanation. Heisenberg is made using a top secret recipe. So secret that we would have to kill you if we told you about it. But we can reveal that Heisenberg is a fruity juice with a chilly menthol finish that will leave you wondering exactly what it is. But you will definitely want more of it – a lot more!
What's in A Name?
You might also be wondering why this juice is called Heisenberg and that is a little easier to explain. Werner Heisenberg was a celebrated German physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his uncertainty theory. As it is uncertain exactly how any vaper will react to this flavour, Heisenberg is the perfect name but the story doesn't end there.
Unless you have had your head in a bag for the last few years, you will have heard of the hit TV series Breaking Bad. This followed the exploits of Walter White, a brilliant chemist who did not receive his rightful rewards for his research. After leaving his employer he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and turned to cooking methamphetamine to secure his family's financial future. He used the alias Heisenberg for conducting his drug deals.
The Perfect Chemistry
So there you have it. Heisenberg's flavour defies explanation. But this juice is perfect chemistry in a bottle with a liberal dose of uncertainty thrown in and so the name tells you everything you need to know.
Vampire Vape's highly regarded eliquids are made from food grade flavourings and pharmaceutical grade PG and VG. Heisenberg is an incredible flavour created for you by Vampire Vape's amazing flavourists and is supplied in 10ml plastic bottles with child-proof caps.
- 60PG/40VG eliquid which is suitable for all devices *
- Fruity with a menthol twist
- Enigmatic flavour
- Created by Vampire Vapes' dedicated Flavourists
- Made in the UK
- Supplied in 10ml plastic, child-proof bottles
- Available in 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg nicotine strengths
* Please note that the 3mg strength is 50VG / 50PG

i started on this flavor ..its a great for first timers especially after quitting smoking. Goes well with gin but can be a bit too minty so you can mix it up with softer berry flavours.
This juice helped me to finally quit smoking
I've been a smoker for 20 years and this was the one that finally helped me quit. The taste is great. It's fruity but not too fruity and it has a nice hit of menthol. Try it, it worked for me!

Best cheap dresses online can be ruined if you have a visible panty line (or 'VPL'). It can make you feel self-conscious, not to mention adversely affecting the line of the dress and the way it falls. It can even make what would have been a beautiful outfit memorable for the wrong reasons. So how can you avoid it?
The first tip is to make sure your underwear fits properly. When you buy dresses online, you want them to fit, and the same should be true of your underwear. Too tight and they will dig in; too loose and they will wrinkle up, which will show ridges and bumps. Spending a little extra time and money on finding the right underwear can make all the difference when it comes to ensuring your new outfit looks lovely. And what about thongs? There are no lines to show on a thong, so they are a great way to keep that VPL at bay. And when wearing your bargain cheap dresses online, no one will be able to see your underwear if you bend over, unlike with trousers. But bear in mind that thongs are not as comfortable as a standard pair of knickers! Some retailers actually sell panties that are seamless, meaning that even though they fit well and comfortably, there is no VPL possible. This is a great compromise, but these knickers can be somewhat more expensive. Note, though, that cotton panties (which are the best kind for women to wear for health reasons) cannot be seamless, so you would need to opt for elastic or spandex instead.
Before choosing your underwear, though, find your perfect dress at Wow That Dress Limited. We sell the best cheap dresses online. Our website (http://www.wowthatdress.co.uk/) has a wide range of exciting, modern, bargain dresses, and we offer free delivery on orders over £60! Call us today on 0161 670 3817 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more sensational information.

So two weeks in and I have started working my way through my challenges. Things got off to a start with balloons from my colleagues at work.
I have played stoolball and badminton for 2 of the sports in challenge No 1, including scoring 11 runs in stoolball towards the 40 in challenge No 2. As one of the dishes for challenge No 11, I cooked chicken braised with olives and lemon, roasted leeks with a shallot dressing, balsamic glazed roasted beetroot and polenta.
On the 1st November I cooked dinner for some of my old Rangers and their family for challenge No 13. Yesterday I completed challenge No 18 by giving a presentation at work about Sussex Snowdrop Trust and Chestnut Tree House. I will upload some clips from it in the next week or so.
For challenge No 21, I have been to mass in three churches and for challenge No 32 I have worn five different items of pink clothing. For challenge No 39 I have watched The King's Speech and The Muppets Most Wanted.
Please see the individual challenge pages for more details and photos.

More West Coast Book Tour fun! I'm appearing at Book Carnival in Orange, CA, just outside Anaheim, on September 27th at 7:30pm.
The last time I was in Anaheim would have been (gasp) 1978 or 1979, when my parents drove my sister and I down from Vancouver BC to Anaheim to meet Mickey Mouse. No trip to Disneyland this time though – this time it's all about book stuff. If you're in Orange and planning to attend I'll see you there. If you can't make it but would still like a signed copy of Magicians Impossible, please contact the good people at Book Carnival to request a copy.
More events to come!

Really quite simple...why doesn't Canon allow the master flash to be assigned to a group? It would make working with a on camera master flash and a remote slave easy to switch the contribution of light from each source. If I am reading the manual correctly the only way to do this right now is adjust the FEC on the camera/master flash and set a different value for the slave unit directly on the Slave. This isn't that hard but it sure seems like it would be easier to make the master flash part of group A and the space group B and just adjust the ratio.
Sorry for the beginners question I'm just trying to understand everything these flashes can do. I just realized that the 430ex III-RT can be a radio master! I guess I was use to the old optical days and when the 600ex came out it was probably the only way to do radio master.


text: I'm going to order lots of phone cases from a Chinese company. They are going to ship it by DHL. Please tell me anything you know about tax that I'll have to pay? How much will that be and what papers will I have to fill out? If you can share a link to a government website or a source where this question is thoroughly discussed, that will be very much appreciated! Thanks.

Knightsbridge's cutting-edge department store hit it out of the ballpark with their latest beauty venture ...
If you've ever had your eyebrows threaded slap-bang in the middle of a busy beauty hall, you'll realise how many department stores fail to get "speedy beauty treatments" right. (Seriously, who wants to lie back in a chair looking up at blinding strip lights, while the whole world and his wife watch the beautician go to work on your monobrow?) Thankfully Harvey Nichols have managed to get it right with the launch of their Beauty Lounge - a dedicated space that's the answer to every time-strapped beauty lover's prayers. In addition to their original beauty halls downstairs, the Beauty Lounge has a more spacious, chilled out vibe (it even has its own entrance on Seville Street, so you don't have to elbow your way through busy Harvey Nichols shoppers to get there). You can come for express treatments (with extended opening hours), attend beauty events and pick out your perfect niche skin cream, lipstick or perfume.
Architects Virgile + Partners have created a space that's an antidote to the usual visual "noise" that department stores are often associated with. Instead it's a peaceful space in which you could happily while away an afternoon. A beauty concierge at the front take appointments; behind them is a waiting area, while further back, Nails Inc. manicurists are sat round a circular work station, busying themselves with clients, as do the nearby stylists for Hershesons Blow Dry bar - all seamlessly integrated with noone looking cramped or harassed.
There's also a mini boutique 'Beyond Beauty' selling niche independent beauty brands. I was pleased to see a few of my favourite underground lines had been cherry picked for the space, from cult lipstick range MDMflow, to OUAI haircare (their Wave Spray is in pretty much every beauty editor's handbag right now) to Iconic London's game-changing foundation brushes (below).
The perfumery is no less stunning - featuring store exclusive Memo Paris (above) - a beautiful niche range that was inspired by the founders' travels - each fragrance is pure wanderlust in a bottle.
During my visit, I tried an "Express LED Rejuvenation Facial" at The Light Salon within the Beauty Lounge, a specialist skincare clinic, who use near-infrared and blue light to repair skin at cellular level. This works to speed up collagen production, leaving skin more plumped and hydrated. It also helps to combat acne too, and with prices starting at £35 it's a relatively cheap pick-me-up for stressed, flagging complexions. They also offer microdermabrasion and hand treatments in collaboration with Nails Inc.
The treatment space is thankfully screened off from the rest of the store, and almost 'pod-like' in shape, with cheery non-clinical decor. You can kick back in one of the easy chairs while a space-age contraption (the LED-emitting apparatus) is poised over your head. A slightly daunting prospect, but the cheery therapist soon put me at ease, warning me that there would be slight discomfort but that she would be in the room with me the entire time and assured me I would have gorgeous, glowing skin for my troubles.
A quick cleanse and make-up removal later, and the LED contraption was placed in front of me (you're offered a mask to shield your eyes from the brightness) and the LED switched on. Aside from slight warmth from the lights, it didn't sting or burn and was definitely among the more relaxing treatments I've tried. My skin definitely felt firmer and smoother several days in - as well as looking more awake. I'd definitely recommend this one as a pre-party/wedding boost to pep up a tired complexion.
With my skin sufficiently "zapped", I spent the rest of the time browsing the gorgeous perfumery and the rest of the beauty space - it really is a treat for anyone fanatical about beauty - and fragrance in particular as the below snaps will attest...
From Serge Lutens, to Shay & Blue, Annick Goutal, Maison Francis Kurkdjian and many more niche gems, you'd be hard-pushed not to find the perfect scent to jazz up your autumn wardrobes. And there's not a pushy "spritzer salesperson" in sight. But if you're feeling slightly stuck, the Beauty Concierge service will help guide you round the different beauty and fragrance lines.
Click here to view the list of treatments available at The Beauty Lounge. Entrance is on Seville Street, Knightsbridge. (Nearest tube is Knightsbridge on the Jubilee Line.)
The Express Beauty Services are available Mon – Sat: 8am – 10pm and Sunday: 11:30am – 6pm
The rest of the Beauty Lounge is open Monday to Saturday: 10am – 9pm and Sunday: 11:30am – 6p

| The course unit assumes prior knowledge acquired from fundamental courses such as "Materials Science and Engineering" and "Mechanics for TBK" that are mandatory in the Production Technology and Logistics (PTL) track of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM) Bachelor programme.
The course unit serves as a bridge between the prerequisite courses mentioned above and subsequent courses such as "Multiscale Contact Mechanics & Tribology" and "Surface and Interface". It prepares students interested in conducting their Mater's dissertation research on surface engineering and advanced coating technologies, materials processing, mechanical design and engineering-related topics that are of special interest to the Advanced Production Engineering (APE) research group.
The homework assignments are prepared by students at home and assessed by teaching assistants. Graded homework assignments are made available to students within a week of their submission.
Besides individual literature review report, students are asked to give a group presentation on selected topics assigned to each group, which offers the opportunity to students to learn about working in teams in preparation for their future careers. In order to evaluate the performance of each student in team work, students are asked to submit confidential peer evaluations after the symposium. In these evaluations, each student scores the performance of themselves and their team mates on a scale from 0 to 10 (guidelines for each score range are defined in the peer review form). Each student will then receive an average score from this peer evaluation. The student who has the highest score will have a peer review factor of 1, and other students in the same team have a peer review factor less than 1 in proportion to his average score. The team presentations are scored jointly by the lecturers (50%) and other students teams (50% in total). The grade of literature reviews for each student is then the product of the team presentation score and the peer review factor of individual students.
|To be able to pass the final exam, the material of the course has to be mastered at various cognitive levels. In some questions the students are asked to perform calculations that have been taught in the lectures; in other questions the application of encountered concepts to real problems is required. The questions in the final exam, normally 4 or 5, consist of several sub-questions. Care is taken that these sub-questions cover all the levels of attainment and can be answered individually. The grading process is stabilized by the sub-questions with pre-defined number of points that can be obtained. The number of points per main questions is always indicated on the exam.
The final grade is calculated from the exam grade, the average grade of six homework assignments and the literature review assignment (report and group presentation). The exam grade comprises 50% of the final grade, and the average grade of six homework assignments constitutes 24% of the final grade with an equal weight factor for each assignment. The literature review assignment constitutes 26% of the final grade, with 16% for the review report and 10% for the group presentation.
Students must receive a final grade of at least 5.5 to pass the course with an assigned grade of 6.0, and the assigned grades are rounded to half-point increments (i.e. > 5.5 & <6.25 rounded to 6.0; > 6.25 & < 6.75 rounded to 6.5, etc.). In case a score is obtained in between 50 and 60 % a careful re-evaluation of the exam is done by a second corrector.

On 25 April 2012, a bill targeting so-called "no-tax corporations" was presented to the Danish Parliament. The bill contains various amendments to the current tax regime, such as (i) the introduction of restrictions in the right to utilise losses being carried forward, (ii) the reintroduction of joint and several liability for group companies' payment of Danish taxes and (iii) the introduction of publication of corporate tax matters.
Restrictions in the right to utilise previous losses
The current Danish tax regime allows for the unlimited and indefinite carrying forward of losses. The bill proposes restrictions in the right to utilise losses being carried forward based on the German model for carrying forward losses. The restrictions will apply to income years beginning on 1 July 2012, but will have effect on losses being carried forward from previous years.
According to the bill, losses may only be used to set off against income up to DKK 7.5 million (approx. EUR 1 million). Income exceeding DKK 7.5 million (approx. EUR 1 million) cannot be set off by more than 60 percent by losses being carried forward.
Even if no time limit is set on the right to carry forward losses, the restriction will imply that taxes will be levied on all companies having a certain level of income, regardless of the value of the losses being carried forward.
Joint and several liability for tax payments
The bill furthermore reintroduces joint and several liability for tax payments by companies being part of a consolidated tax group. The previous rules were abolished upon the introduction of mandatory joint taxation between Danish group-related entities in 2005.
The proposal implies that companies will be held jointly and severally liable for corporate income taxes as well as withholding taxes on dividends, interest and royalty payable by all members of a consolidated tax group.
Certain restrictions in the liability have been proposed with regard to companies partially owned by minority shareholders outside the tax consolidation group. Such companies will only be subject to secondary liability. Furthermore, the liability will be proportional to the percentage of shares owned by members of the consolidated tax group. These restrictions are meant to ensure that minority shareholders will not be held liable for the shortcomings of majority shareholders.
Publication of corporate tax matters
Finally, the bill introduces publication of so far private information on corporate tax matters. In the future, information concerning (i) the taxable income, (ii) the value of losses being carried forward and (iii) the amount payable in taxes will be made public by the Danish tax authorities. If the company forms part of a consolidated tax group, information concerning all members of the group will be made public.
Impact of the bill
The bill must be seen as part of the ongoing efforts aimed at multinationals conducting business in Denmark without generating taxable income of any significance. Generally, the bill introduces further tax restrictions on corporations.
The introduction of joint and several liability among members of consolidated tax groups and the publication of corporate tax matters may have adverse consequences for corporations present in Denmark.
The introduction of restrictions in the right to carry forward losses is applicable at group level. Accordingly, it should be considered in the future whether a consolidated tax group should be established when it is not mandatory.
Furthermore, minority shareholders of Danish companies being part of consolidated tax groups should consider how to handle the financial and reputational risks arising when the companies are made part of a majority shareholders' consolidated tax group.

Daily Watch – Skye Bank takes over Intercontinental Hotel, Vehicle imports evaporate in Q1
- Only 350 new vehicles were imported by Nigerian auto firms in Q1 2017, a drop of about 90 percent over 3,500 recorded in the same period last year. According to the Managing Director of Toyota Nigeria, Kunle Ade-Ojo, the dramatic fall in car imports was due to a combination of a high duty on imported cars, a shortage of foreign exchange and the wider economic recession. He further said that total retail sale of new vehicles for Q1 2017 stood at 2,000 units compared to 5,500 units sold last year. Although he said the fall in vehicle imports was also witnessed last year, it was not as pronounced as the latest numbers. For instance, he recalled that the total vehicles imported into the country in 2016 dropped to 7,000 from 18,000 in 2015. According to him, the total retail market plunged about 42 percent from 32,000 units in 2015 to 18,000 in 2016. He, however, said more commercial vehicles were sold last year at 70 percent of total sales than passenger cars. He also said the total forecast for the year was between 8,000 and 10,000 vehicles.
- Oil firm Oando says it is in talks to work with Italian energy company Eni to rehabilitate one of the country's four refineries. Oil minister, Ibe Kachikwu, said last week Eni would build a new refinery with a capacity of 150,000 bpd, using its Agip subsidiary. The agreement with Eni also included a repair, operate and maintenance agreement for the Port Harcourt plant. Oando said in a public notice on Monday it was in talks to partner with Agip in rehabilitating the Port Harcourt plant, returning its capacity to the original design level of 210,000 bpd from just 30 percent of that now. Oando said talks were expected to lead to a final agreement by the end of July.
- The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered Skye Bank to take over Intercontinental Hotel over an alleged debt and appointed Kunle Ogunba SAN, as the hotel's receiver-manager in order to preserve its assets. The 361-room hotel is located in the flagship Kofo Abayomi Street on Victoria Island, Lagos. Justice Babs Kuewumi ordered Skye Bank to take over and preserve the assets Milan Industries Limited (the defendant), particularly the hotel which is covered by a deed of legal mortgage, pending the hearing and determination of the plaintiff's motion on notice. The court also made an interim order granting judicial protection to Ogunba, who was appointed by the bank as the receiver-manager of the hotel by virtue of a deed of appointment dated November 11, 2016. Skye Bank said it provided Milan Industries with facilities in the sum of $29.8 million and ₦3.8 billion for the construction of Intercontinental Hotel. It also raised an overdraft facility of ₦500 million "to urgently fund payments to contractors and importation of material required for completing the hotel project." As security, the defendant executed a deed of legal mortgage in favour of the bank in which it charged it charged the 361-room five-star hotel. The case was adjourned to May 17.
- The Punch reports that Etisalat Nigeria lost over 2.9 million subscribers in the last two business quarters. The newspaper said that as of September 2016, there were 22.5 million active subscribers on the network but the figure had dropped to 20.8 million by December, a loss of 1.7 million subscribers within three months. The drop, according to the paper, represents a loss of about ₦3.1 billion in potential revenue for Etisalat for the quarter, going by the industry's average revenue of ₦1,830 per user, according to the quarterly subscriber operation data obtained from the NCC. Similarly, in the first quarter of this year, the telco lost 1.2 million subscribers. This is also estimated to cost the telecoms company potential revenue of about ₦3.8 billion. Fact checks showed that between September last year and end of March, this year, Globacom increased its subscribers from 36.9 million to 37.3 million; Airtel grew from 34.1 million to 34.6 million but MTN dropped in subscriptions from 60.5 million to 60.3 million. Etisalat's poor investment in its network occasioned by a $1.2 billion debt owed to eight Nigerian banks, some analysts say, was adversely affecting the company's ability to deliver quality service and impeding its expansion.
- The FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange Board's Listings, Markets and Technology Committee has approved the registration of the Stanbic IBTC Holdings' ₦20 billion Commercial Paper Programme on its platform. Issues from this programme are to be quoted on the OTC Exchange. FMDQ said given the increasingly competitive market environment, corporates and commercial entities had continued to seek innovative approaches towards executing their financing strategies. It said commercial papers continue to present and serve as an alternative source of complementing working capital requirements, among others, for companies.

Connecticut Holds Off Purdue to Advance to Elite Eight
March 26, 2009
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Hasheem Thabeet, the Big East co-player of the year, scored 15 points, had 15 rebounds and blocked four shots, and top-seeded Connecticut overcame a sluggish first half to defeat Purdue 72-60 in the NCAA West Regional semifinals on Thursday.
"Hasheem just took the game over," UConn coach Jim Calhoun said. "Purdue, quite frankly, ran into one of the best players in America in Hasheem Thabeet. Beyond that, the game might have been different if we had just, quote, a regular center."
The Huskies will play the winner of the late semifinal between Memphis and Missouri.
It was Thabeet's 18th double-double of the season, and it couldn't have come at a better time for the Huskies.
The Huskies (30-4) reached the regional finals for the fourth time since 2002.
UConn jumped out to an early 11-point lead, then went cold and let the fifth-seeded Boilermakers (27-10) claw back into the game. The Huskies shot only 39.4 percent from the floor, but it led by five points at intermission because Purdue was even worse (33.3 percent).
The Huskies had won their first two NCAA tourney games by an average of 41 points, but it was obvious they were in for a fight against the defense-oriented Boilermakers. The Boilermakers trailed 30-25 at halftime, but they ran off the court to the cheers of their black-and-gold-clad followers.
In the UConn locker room at halftime, Thabeet said his teammates told him to step it up.
"They know I'm capable of doing a lot of stuff," said Thabeet, a junior from Tanzania. "Today, the second half, they told me to go back there and do what you do all season long."
Thabeet did exactly that. He scored Connecticut's first eight points of the second half, then blocked a shot to set up a fastbreak layup by A.J. Price, who scored 10 of his 15 points after halftime.
That play was part of an 8-0 run that gave the Huskies a 42-31 cushion with 13:37 to play.
What's more, it told the Boilermakers that they were overmatched in the middle.
But it took Purdue a while to get the message. The Boilermakers answered with a 7-0 burst, and soon they had pulled within 44-40 with 11:24 to play.
"We tried to put them away three, four, five different times, and every time they came back," Price said.
But Thabeet dunked to push the lead back to 57-45 with 6:28 to play, and that was pretty much it for Purdue.
Craig Austrie added 17 points, and Stanley Robinson had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Huskies.
UConn outrebounded Purdue 48-33.
"You've got to shoot the basketball at a very high percentage if you're going to beat them, if you get outrebounded by 15," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "It is very difficult to keep those guys off the glass. They have a great team, and you've just got to tip your hat to them."
Using its superior size and ability, UConn jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first three minutes.
Robinson dunked on an alley-oop pass from Price, and then Austrie stripped Purdue point guard Lewis Jackson in the backcourt and swooped in for a layup.
It looked as if Purdue would be blown halfway back to West Lafayette, Ind. But the Boilermakers regrouped and made a game of it.
Purdue ended its longest NCAA run since 2000, when the Boilermakers lost to Wisconsin in the West Region final.
"We did accomplish a lot this season," said Robbie Hummel, who led Purdue with 17 points. "We've been in the Sweet 16 now. We're going to be hungry to make it farther next year."
The Huskies, meanwhile, are still chasing their third national title.
UConn arrived in the Phoenix area full of confidence. The road to both of the Huskies' NCAA titles--in 1999 and 2004--went through regionals in Phoenix.
Technically, this regional is in Glendale, to the west of Phoenix. But so far it has the same warm feeling for the Huskies, who are one win away from another Final Four.
"The opportunity to play Saturday--now you are playing for something even more special," Calhoun said.

This is actually the Salvation Army's recipe for 'yeast rolls'
which has a variation for hot cross buns. If you or the kids aren't
keen on dried fruit, you could try another variation which is
called 'coffee cake variation', or leave out the fruit and spice
altogther for a savoury bun.
Makes approximately 25
Prep time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 15-20 minutes
300ml warm milk
50 grams butter
50 grams sugar
1 tsp salt
20 grams dried yeast
50ml warm water
500 grams flour
100 grams currants
100 grams sultanas
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
100 grams brown sugar
4 tblspns flour
50 grams walnuts, chopped
2 tblspns butter, melted
Add the warm milk to the butter, sugar and salt in a mixing
bowl; cool until lukewarm.
Sprinkle the yeast into lukewarm water; stir; mix the yeast and
water inot the milk mixture.
Blend in one-third of the flour. Add the remainder of the flour
slowly to make a moderately soft dough which leaves the bottom and
sides of the bowl (the dough should not be sticky).
If making the hot cross buns variation, add currants, sultanas,
cinnamon and nutmeg.
If using an electric mixer no kneading is required,
otherwise knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is satiny and
springy to the touch.
Put the ball of dough into a lightly greased bowl; lightly
grease the surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth or cling
film and leave to rise until doubled in bulk (about one hour).
Punch down and shape into desired shapes; allow to rise again on
greased trays until bulk is doubled (about 30 minutes).
If making hot cross buns, decorate the tops with half a cup of
flour and six teaspoons of water mixed together (applied using a
plastic or piping bag).
If making the coffee cake variation, mix together the brown
sugar, flour, walnuts and melted butter; sprinkle over dough buns
or transfer dough into a greased cake tin and sprinkle over sugar
and walnut mixture.
Bake at 200C for 15-20 minutes until the rolls are golden

1. Step One - Site Visit
We visit the site to learn about the site features and the desires of our client. We actively listen to identify the aspects of the home that our client requires, amenity and esthetics are thoroughly explored to ensure we exceed expectations. We order the property CD from council and complete a topographical survey and geotechnical investigation of the property if these aren't available.
2. Step Two - Conceptual Design
The Style Construction Design & Build Team of designers and builders discuss the goals and budget for the project and draft an initial layout with floor plans that meet all the needs and desires of the home owner. Our years of experience with Design and Build ensures the design meets budget, amenity and design requirements. We will not propose a conceptual design that exceeds budget. At this stage we will apply to council for a PIM (Project Information Memorandum)
3. Step Three - Detailed Design & Specification
The conceptual plans are now processed into construction plans, engineering and building services are designed and any small tweaks are made now. The kitchen wall my push out a couple of 100mm for example to accommodate a 900mm wide free standing oven or a bathroom wall may shift so that double bowl vanity unit you always wanted fits.
4. Step Four - Building Consent
The drawings are submitted to the local authority for Building Consent and or Resource Consent processing. The Building Consent process has a statutory time limit of 20 working days.
5. Step Five - Colours, Finishes, Audio Visual, Electrical, Cabinets
This the fun stage where your house becomes a home and all your design ideas are pulled together. The paint colours, carpet and cabinetry both kitchen and bathroom are chosen. The layout of the electrical is decided and the surround sound TV and speakers are positioned. Style Construction has on staff an experience d colour consultant who can guide your decisions to ensure your home is everything you dreamed it would be.
6. Step Six - Construction Begins

Argentina has been through so much as a nation. It's hard to separate tango from the history of Argentina's sorrows. I've seen the men, in documentaries, talk about this connection with tango, and its history, and I've heard that some older men cry and sing along to the classic Argentine tango music. And it's with some of this that I come to Argentine tango music. And it's with some of this that I come to Argentina. It's' been a good year overall, but one also filled with sorrow and loss, and a beauty that felt so close, and yet just beyond my fingertips, and I've been looking forward to dancing in Argentina with those emotions running in my veins; but then on Monday I was stopped in my tracks.
I finally got around to looking through my Alma Mater's quarterly magazine and learned of the death, back in February , of cancer, of one of my closest friends in university, with whom I co-edited the paper (The Picaro) in my final year there: Suellen Murray. How could that be? Suellen Murray was well and truly one of the good ones, whose brilliant wit and wry observations were wise beyond her years, and I was lucky to be her friend. And I remember the day she asked me if I would co-edit the newspaper with her, and I was so moved because I was so unsure of myself and so often felt lost in the world, and then I was crying and packing and hoping I could focus enough not to forget something basic, like my money. I've thought of her often over the years and always thought, "that reunion will come." I'd look her up when I'm back in Nova Scotia, but I didn't, and now, I can't, and I can hardly fathom that her brilliance and friendship is one more thing beyond my realm. It was hard to finish packing on Monday, as I cried and tried to concentrate on not forgetting things, while not forgetting her.
It was Suellen I was thinking of on my first night of tango last night at El Beso. Tough to get dances in the packed room, and an unknown quantity. But at the end of the night, as the crowd thinned, I managed to catch the eye of an elegant woman from the city, grew up four blocks from here and was at this milonga because she couldn't go to her regular place ("quebre con un caballero") and we embraced and danced with all the feeling I would expect from here, the last dance of the night.
I hope for fun, and lightness and laughter, which are all deeply in my nature, during my time here. But I've also come here as a kind of mourning. I know this sounds odd, but it's a mourning that has to to with honouring the things there are in my life – in the world – that have been lost. Personally, I can't think of a better place for it.

Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said the people at the National Rifle Association (NRA) are "great Americans," who have, "the best interest of our country," in mind.
Trump said, "My position is I'm dealing with the NRA have great respect for them. Wayne and Chris all of the people, these are great people. These are people that love their country incredibly. I don't think they get enough credit for it. I'm dealing with the NRA, they gave me their endorsement, one of the early endorsement for a presidential candidate. I'm a member of the NRA. My two sons are members of the NRA for a long time. I'm talking to them about the whole concept of terror watch lists. If there is a terror watch list somebody is on should they be allowed to guy a gun. Now we understand there are problems with that because some people on the terror watch list that shouldn't be on. You understand that. That's happened. Maybe you can reverse it and we work very hard to find out if they can't get a gun. We work hard and diligently to get them off the list if they indeed shouldn't be on the list. So, I'm working with the NRA. We are discussing it. Again, the NRA has the best interest of our country, it just has the absolute best interests of our country. They want to make the right decision. These are great people. these are great Americans."

By Cadoxton Primary School, Nicola Tucker and Vale of Glamorgan Council
The Vale of Glamorgan Council's Arts Development Team have worked with conflict and war artist and teacher Nicola Tucker, in response to this year's Holocaust Memorial Day Trust's 2016 theme 'Don't Stand By'.
The team worked with Cadoxton Primary School pupils to create colourful acetate memorial flames holding individual written pledges within the works, in honour of those who have suffered under oppression, describing how 'never to stand by' when negative behaviours occur.
This thought-provoking and powerful short film Don't Stand By : Flames for Humanity's Heroes was developed through workshops on behaviour associated with 'Bystanderism' and movement and vocal workshops. The pupils studied the stories of Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary during the Holocaust, and Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate.
The year five and six students were enthused about participating in such a unique project, creating a lasting legacy to commemorate HMD and to represent Wales in an international event.

This is part 2 of a 4-part series from my trip to Lapland in February 2017. I had too many photos to share in one post, so I ended up having to split them into themed posts.
Lapland itself isn't a country. It's a region of northern Europe stretching across northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and into Russia. It's mostly within the Arctic Circle, and it has been home to the indigenous Sami people for thousands of years. If rumours are to be believed, it's also home to the Moomins and Santa. It's a brilliant destination to visit, with a thriving culture and spectacular natural features. It's also easy to pitch your holiday wherever you like on the spectrum of touristy vs independent.
The extent of the forestry in Finland is extraordinary. Coming from the UK, we just don't do forests or wilderness on this sort of scale. When you are able to get up above the treeline, it's incredible to look out to a horizon where almost the entire landscape is covered in trees. As the land undulates beneath it, the trees carpet almost the whole surface of the land, aside from the lakes, which are entirely frozen and snow-covered during winter.
We were staying in Pyhä, which is a couple of hours south of Saariselkä. But since we had a rental car, we figured we might as well drive up and see a different location. It was well worth it. Saariselkä is a little larger than Pyhä, and more of a ski resort, and like Pyhä, is surrounded by miles of stunning national park and conservation area. Kaunispää PanoramaA wide-aspect scene from the peak of Kaunispää Hill, in Saariselkä, Finnish Lapland.
These photos were taken from the summit of Kaunispää Hill, in Saariselkä, Finland. Above is a panorama, consisting of several photos stitched together to create a wide-aspect image. Kaunispää HillsTrees, snow, and hills, stretch as far as the eye can see. Taken at the top of Kaunispää Hill, Saariselkä.
The image above should have had the moon on the horizon. That was a shot I'd planned meticulously, and timed to perfection. Unfortunately, a thin layer of cloud masked the full moon, which would have really added something spectacular to some of these photos. Such is life.
Saariselka Rolling HillsHillside covered in trees, from the summit of Kaunispää Hill at Saariselka.
You can easily hike up Kaunispää Hill, or you can take the car up. The most fun way to get down is the free toboggan run (the longest in lapland at 1200 metres). And, like many of my favourite places, there's a cafe at the top. I have to recommend the local Finnish doughnuts to be found at this cafe (as well as elsewhere in Finnish Lapland). They're sugared ring doughnuts, flavoured with cardamom, and they're called 'Munkki'. I also had a good salmon soup there, but before this turns into a TripAdvisor review, I'll get back to the photos...
Light and ShadeTrees in Lapland.
Not sure if the pic above worked, but I like the idea. The near side hill was in sun, and the far side of the valley in shade. Hmm, the jury's still out on that one.
Here's another valley view, where the lighter birch trees have been able to take root, surrounded by the more common fir trees, which dominate the Finnish Taiga.
Saariselkä Valley ViewA valley running through the vast Saariselkä forest, in Northern Finland.
The shot below is a close-up view of some fir and birch trees, creating an almost abstract scene.
Lapland AbstractTrees on the Lapland Hillside, Saariselkä, Finland.
The neatly coloured trails in this leaflet show the area where I took the following forest photos, in the South East corner of the national park.
Lapland Forest TreesA blizzard in the forest created unique and interesting conditions for photography.
The trails are accessible and well-marked, so it's easy to nip into the forest for as long or short amount of time as you like.
Lapland Forest BlizzardNice light, in the forest surrounding Pyha, in Finnish Lapland.
This was the warmest day of our trip at just -3°C, but it felt the coldest. It felt damp, it was snowing quite heavily, and I was relying on hand-warmers in my gloves to keep my fingers defrosted.
Lapland Forest LightThe forest around Pyhä. Taken during a snow blizzard.
Braving the dampness and cold of the blizzard was well worth it though. I'd visited these woods a couple of times already, but they looks much better in this bleak weather.
In the next post from this series I'll be changing colour scheme to share some sunrise and sunset photos.

I am PC 1365 Gareth Tanner and I work in the Complex Case Team from Histon Police Station covering the South Cambridgeshire area.
In mid 2013 I was involved in a drugs warrant at a house in my area.
The process of this started some time ago with information from members of the public. This case in particular demonstrates how valuable it is for police and the public to communicate with each other and for members of the public to let police know of anything, no matter how small or unlikely it may seem; if they think something is a bit suspicious. We are always interested to know about suspicious activity because it is often a small piece that fits into a larger puzzle.
We were informed by several members of the public that there was suspicious activity around the address. This covered everything from a strange smell, to the high number of visitors to the address that tended not to stay for very long.
No doubt each of the people who spoke to us about this thought it was trivial or potentially innocent, but as several people were telling us the same or similar things we were able to identify the house as an area of interest.
Thankfully, the public didn't just contact us once either, we were kept updated with developments at the house which continued to show us that the activity was continuing; this certainly was helpful when it came to going to court to obtain a search warrant.
We were satisfied that there was sufficient information from the public that indicated drug related activity at the house so, I went to Cambridge Magistrates Court armed with the information the public had given us.
At court, I stood in front of the Magistrates under oath and explained the information we had received from the public and justified why I thought it was necessary and lawful to search the house. Thankfully the Magistrates agreed with me, that the information we had was recent, relevant, and strongly indicated drugs activity.
With a wet signature from the Magistrate on the warrant I came back to the police station to arrange police officers to conduct the search, and just one hour after walking out of the court with the warrant, all officers had been fully briefed and we were off.
There were four officers attending including me, two to go to the front door, with my colleague and I round the back in case the occupants tried to escape or throw their drugs out of the back window.
Gaining entry isn't always like it is on the telly. Yes, sometimes we take the big red key and break people's doors down, but quite often, as in this case, we just knock and the occupant is generally sensible enough when given the choice to spare their front door by letting us in.
The house was a regular semi-detached property in a nice area and the occupant was a polite young man in his mid-twenties in full time employment in a respectable job; perhaps not where you may expect to find over 8 kilos of cannabis and a bag of cocaine the size of my fist. It turns out these drugs were collectively worth well over £100,000.00
I've searched numerous houses and seized many large quantities of drugs in my career but this was the largest amount of ready to sell drugs I had ever seen. It took a van and two police cars to transport the drugs back to the station.
From one day to obtain and conduct a search warrant and seize a huge quantity of drugs, the rest of the investigation took several months of interviews, electronic device analysis, forensic examinations, drug identifications and financial investigation. The arduous task of completing the in depth investigation and complex court paperwork paid off in the end though. The house's occupant was charged with a number of drug related offences, the information we obtained from his house has led to further arrests of his associates, and a significant disruption to the supply of drugs in South Cambridgeshire.
The offender Aaron Wiltshire (aged 28) of Waddelow Road, Waterbeach was sentenced in Cambridge Crown Court on Friday 16th May to 3 years in prison for producing cannabis and possessing with the intent to supply, both class B and class A substances (cannabis and cocaine).
Naturally, we destroyed all the drugs and equipment.
The smallest piece of information may help form part of a picture of criminal activity. I hope people reading this blog will let police know, anonymously if they like; if they notice something they think is a little strange or suspicious. It might help us have a big impact on crime.
Call your local police on our non-emergency number 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
