I saw a post online this week that caught my attention. It said something like:
'Female singers needed for an exciting project, aged 18-26. If you need to lie about your age, that's no problem as long as we can agree on it'.
'Great!' I thought. I know a few fantastic singers who I would pass this on to… No. I changed my mind. I am tired of pretending or lying about age as a female musician. I wouldn't wish that on any of my friends and I don't want to perpetuate it. I'm not pointing fingers at the person who made the post; almost every pop gig I've ever done had to involve some kind of pretence that my age was a lot lower than it was. And I wasn't even 'old' anyway!
So here it is. I am 33. And a half. I am fortunate that now I have a job where I can embrace my actual age, be proud of the way I've got to where I am and not panic that some music biz hipster who decides the 'look' of an artist won't hire me because of two numbers that go with who I am. As an editor of a drum magazine I feel like I'm now on the other side of the business and I feel comfortable enough to say that it is a topic that has worried me for a long time.
I've heard from male musicians who say that age is a problem for them too. And we've all had the gigs that we were excluded from because we were male/female/didn't have long enough blonde hair or weren't 6 feet tall. Music is a crazy industry and unless you're in certain genres of music that don't care about aesthetics, you are bound to come up against discrimination for something. We deal with it, it makes us tougher and we head on to the next audition. In this, I'm just posting from my perspective as a female musician because that's what I know but I appreciate that it's not only female musicians who experience this.
I've been told I look younger than I am (perhaps because I've been pretending I was 24 for the last 8 years) so lying was never a problem. I didn't feel comfortable doing it but I still did it anyway because otherwise, for the sake of a number, I was excluded from a job opportunity. But here's some news – at less than 24 I wasn't as accomplished at drums as I am now! I didn't have so much experience of playing with artists in front of huge crowds. I was a bit nervous, a bit naive and I probably got quite star struck back then. Now I don't, so what good will being 21 be to me or the person hiring a band? I can be made up, dressed or lit to look 18 or 80 so really, is there any point in lying anymore? And honestly, are you really trying to tell me that those female artists in the charts are all in their 20s too? Come on! It takes years to get your sh*t together enough to write good songs, master your instrument and be a grounded human too.
Part two of this may or may not be linked to the age issue for some people but for me, it was. Nearly every age 'cut off' point for commercial music that I have auditioned for has been 26. Is it a coincidence that female musicians often haven't had children at that age? At the age of 30 I began panicking. I was still needing to bend the truth about my age so how could I even contemplate starting a family? And then if I did, I'd have to take a break for several months, lose out on auditions, possibly lose contacts and tours and definitely lose out on those commercial gigs that I relied on. After that, how would I even get back into the same work, if that was what I wanted to do? I thought about what else I could do instead – it's not ideal to make a career change at the same time as having children. The other alternative was pretending to be in my 20s until I was perhaps nearing 40. A) that was a ridiculous prospect and B) I was worried I would have sacrificed the chance of a family for the sake of a playing career that may or may not have got where I wanted it to go.
I've been a session musician for ten years and I definitely didn't get in to it for anything less than wanting to play with massive artists on huge tours and make records that would be known everywhere. As a woman, there is a definite age restriction on this, unless you manage to find a way around it and have people to support you.
At the extreme money end of the scale, Beyonce made it look unrealistically easy but there are female musicians who have genuinely combined their jobs with their family successfully. For the level of work that I was at with sessions, and as a drummer, it would have involved deciding to stop work as I had known it though. When does the point come where you have to decide? Do you have to choose? Do people realise too late and then have regrets?
Nature is the way it is – women are the ones who carry the unborn child. Fathers who are musicians have a difficult time too, having to be away from their families for long periods of time. Some things can't be changed but we can at least acknowledge them. I felt I couldn't talk about it with anyone before; it feels like the final taboo of being a female musician but I'm not worried now. I take inspiration from drummer Crissy Lee who had to be made up to look old enough to play in Frank Skinner's house band for his TV show – she was in her 60s and looked too good to play the part of an 'old' lady. So however high those numbers are that go with you, music keeps you young.

Totally agree with everything you've said here Gemma. Especially the part about being better the older you get. It's so true! I was 26 when I started my degree in drums. Definitely seen as too old for the commercial side of the industry. Doesn't mean we can't do it though! It's very frustrating. Still, I make a living as a drummer in different ways now. I do wonder how things could have been different. I started playing live in 1990! Barely any known female drummers then. Sheila E and Cindy Blackman being the most famous at the time.

Heel painis listed among casual illness of all generations. It is generally affecting all age groups of people, but shows its keen peak on the old age people. Heel pain is not a disease, which is one of the symptoms of the underlying disease of the foot. Moreover, this heel does not reflect as a result of a life-threatening situation rather it shows a mild degree dilemma of the foot.
The causes of the heel pain belongs to the wide coverage of topics, however, the cause of heel pain is due to a long term stress to the foot rather than an acute one time cause. The main causes are
- Achilles tendonosis or Achilles tendonitis – It is one of the type of degenerative and progressive disease affects the Achilles tendon of the foot. This disease brings damage, especially micro tears in the tendon and also in the tissue around the tendon. This leads to increase in the number of cells, which helps in repairing process. This process results in the decrease of the tensile strength of the tendon and makes it more prone to rupture. In addition, the micro tears undergo secondary changes due to the repairing cells and as a result of it can see the thickening of the Achilles tendon, which exerts severe pain during movement as well as on rest.
Plantar Fasciitis or Plantar Fasciosis or widely known as jogger's heel – It is a type of inflammation in our plantar fascia. Plantar fascia is a ligament that runs between the heel bone and the tip of the foot. This ligament is stretched due to overuse, which can be due to increased intensity of exercise, or increase in weight and can result in inflammatory changes in the stretched regions of the ligament, especially in the place of the heel bone. This plantar fasciitis results in a severe pain underside of the foot and can be quite above the threshold level after a long rest. This condition listed as the top and the commonest cause of heel pain.
- Bursitis of the heel – This is the inflammatory change of a specific bursa, which is located behind the heel. The bursa is a sac which is made out of fibrous tissue and the sac encloses the fluid inside it. Typically, the inflammation provokes pain in the region underneath the heel bone or behind the heel bone. This condition results from the simple to complex causes. One of the commonest and the easiest way to get heel bursitis is pressure exerted by your footwear or accidently landing on the heel, while doing exercise or more usually while dancing.
- High heel bumps or heel bumps – These are the result of excessive growth of the heel bone. It is due to the friction caused to the bone when it is not yet fully grown, which results in the increased or bump formation especially in teen years. This disease is caused also by the wearing of high heels during their teen years in girls. However, the resulting point is the development of heel pain.
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome or posterior tibial neuralgia – The development of the pain in the heel due to the prolonged compression of the tarsal nerve when it passes through the tarsal tunnel.
- Severs disease or Calcaneal/heel apophysitis – It is the disease of young generation especially for children and teenagers. It is due to the excessive usage of the heel bone or because of many micro traumas to the growing heel bone. It has finally resulted in severe heel pain.
- Stress fracture – It is also one among the commonest causes of heel pain. It happens, when the foot is used in excessive or hard exercises, which can cause continuous stress to the bone.
- The other minor causes of heel pain may be the result of bone tumors like Morton's neuroma, fibromyalgia, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteomyelitis, osteoporosis, peripheral neuropathy, and bone cyst.
Signs and symptoms
The obvious sign is the pain. This pain might be mild and gradual or severe and intense. The pain may worsen and amplify when working, while at rest to be also characterized by severe pain.
Diagnostic methods
Generally, the diagnosis of the heel pain can be achieved by physical examination of the foot, through collecting existing data about the pain. In addition, inquiring about the type of work he or she is doing, the type of working environment, type of exercise you do etc.
Additionally, to support and to ensure the situation, a common blood analysis, urine analysis along with the x-ray picture is examined.
Treatment of heel pain
The basic principle of treating heel pain lies within the diagnosis of the underlying causes of heel pain and treating the underlying disease. There are some crucial moments in the treatment plan of heel pain.
Initially, the affected foot should be rested for enough time without straining further by walking or doing exercise. The resting period helps to prevent further damage.
Another important and the essential part of the treatment is a pain reliever. You might use ice bags on the affected foot to release the pain, but more often NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are used to remove pain as well as the inflammation.
The decrease of pain does not reverse the situation to the good old days. However, the use of the apt choice of footwear plays a vital role in the treatment of heel pain. If all these fail, you might want to use other auxiliary services with orthoses. Orthoses are specialized apparatus helps to modify the functional and structural nature of the neuromuscular apparatus of our body.
Prevention of heel pain
It is wiser to prevent your foot from heel pain, than dealing with it and following the day-to-day activities. As a first step, you need to lose weight if you are fat. Increased weight or obese condition cause extra stress on the heel, and as a result appearance of pain.
The second common preventive method is through careful selection of your shoes and slippers. The running shoes are more commonly stated as the most comforting form of footwear. This also means the end of the fashion games with high heels among girls.
As of now, we came to know the wide spectrum of knowledge about the chief causes of heel pain. It helps us to figure out the underlying cause easily and helps to direct the correct form of treatment. The degree of heel pain differs from one disease to another; hence, the degree of discomfort too changes along with it. It is the time to take care of your heel pain and giving a strong send off to heel pain from your life.

'Can Exercise Prevent Hair Loss?'
Name: Jay
Question: I go to the gym regularly and consider myself to be in good shape, but I've recently begun to lose my hair. I'm only 27. Can you tell me what's going on? I thought keeping fit was supposed to stop me going bald!
Answer: Hi, Jay. Regular exercise is certainly beneficial to overall health, and among other things will help maintain good circulation, which ensures an adequate supply of nutrients to the hair follicles. However, if you are experiencing thinning hair you may wish to shift the emphasis of your workouts from heavy weightlifting designed to build bulky muscle, to vigorous aerobic exercise such as running or rowing.
The most common cause of hair loss in men is androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness. This is caused by the action of male hormones (androgens) on genetically predisposed hair follicles. Within these follicles, testosterone is converted into the androgen DHT (dihydrotestosterone) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT inhibits the growth of new hair cells, causing the follicles to shrink with each growth cycle until they finally become dysfunctional and no new hair grows.
Short, intense workout regimes designed to raise androgen levels in order to bulk up will raise free testosterone levels. This is what enables men to achieve the bodybuilder look, but unfortunately free testosterone can be converted to DHT, accelerating hairloss in genetically programmed individuals. Conversely, aerobic exercise can lower DHT levels.
Excessive exercise is believed to exacerbate hair loss so it is important to ensure your workouts are not too extreme, especially on a regular basis.
Fortunately there are clinically proven medications that can combat male pattern baldness, even though it is largely hereditary. The Belgravia Centre bases its highly effective hair loss treatment courses around the only two products that are medically proven to stabilise hair loss and promote regrowth. Propecia (finasteride 1mg) works by blocking 5-alpha reductase, which prevents the formation of DHT, while Minoxidil increases the blood supply to the affected hair follicles. Belgravia's specialists have found that using these two proven medications, along with various hair growth boosters, gives the best results for the majority of patients. You can see some of our many Success Story photos to see the excellent results we have achieved with our comprehensive treatment programmes.
Hair loss conditions can have many different causes, and may get worse if left untreated, so it is sensible to seek professional advice as soon as possible.
The Belgravia Centre
The Belgravia Centre is the leader in hair loss treatment in the UK, with two clinics based in Central London. If you are worried about hair loss you can arrange a free consultation with a hair loss expert or complete our Online Consultation Form from anywhere in the UK or the rest of the world. View our Hair Loss Success Stories, which are the largest collection of such success stories in the world and demonstrate the levels of success that so many of Belgravia's patients achieve.

April: Warm and Dry
It's been awhile since my last post. It seems this time of year I tend to post less since the weather is much less interesting. Instead of big extremes from week to week, the weather this time of year seems to settle into long boring patterns with little change. A perfect example has been the warm and dry weather over the last few weeks. So far this month, the temperature has been running about 13 degrees above normal and precipitation has only been 1.64".

Sarasota January 2012
In January of 2012 IPF was invited to speak at the Selby Library and Plymouth Harbor retirement home in Sarasota. Harriet Hendel, a volunteer and long-time friend of IPF, organized the Selby event, which had over 100 people in attendance. Seth Miller, IPF's Executive Director, spoke about the causes of wrongful convictions, and James Bain shared his story of 35 years in prison and rebuilding his life after his exoneration. The guests at the Selby Library were very engaged in the presentation and several have invited IPF back to Sarasota.
Later in the evening Seth spoke about causes of wrongful convictions at Plymouth Harbor. He was accompanied by Derrick Williams, the most recent Florida exoneree. This was Derrick's first speaking engagement since his exoneration in April of 2011 after serving 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Wallenford deal yet to close one year later
Avia Collinder, Business Reporter
IT HAS been a year since Michael Lee-Chin's company took control of the assets of Wallenford Coffee Company, but the Ministry of Agriculture disclosed on Thursday that the deal is still pending closure.
Discussions on how the operation will be restructured are ongoing, but are in the final stages, according to Permanent Secretary Donovan Stanberry.
Cabinet will have to sign off on the final plan, he said.
One year ago, the Government announced the agreement to sell Wallenford to AIC International Investments Limited (AIIL) in a deal worth US$39.5 million (J$4 billion). AIIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lee Chin's company, Portland Holdings Inc.
Wallenford had accumulated losses of $2.36 billion and net assets of $67.75 million up to February 2013.
Of the US$39.5 million, Development Bank of Jamaica (DBJ), which brokered the sale, said US$16 million would flow to the Jamaican Government, while AIIL would inject capital of US$23.5 into the development and expansion of Wallenford over four years.
Payments on track
Asked whether AIIL had paid over the US$16 million for the estate, Stanberry said the payments were to be made according to an agreed schedule, and were so far on track.
AIIL assumed control of the Wallenford operations on September 11, 2013. The transaction was set for closure in six months thereafter, or by March 2014, but has been delayed.
"We have now reached the stage where we have satisfied all conditions for a definitive agreement," Stanberry said on Thursday.
Managing director of DBJ, Milverton Reynolds, adds that the parties are now working to close the deal in September. Government is assuming the coffee company's debts held by the PetroCaribe Development Fund, the EEC, and Ex-Im Bank, Reynolds said.
Efforts at getting a comment from Portland Holdings on the status of operations at Wallenford were unsuccessful.
Stanberry said the conditions being examined for the definitive agreement involved the restructuring of the company, including "which workers to keep and which to let go", and issues relating to inventory and working capital.
"The agreement should be placed before Cabinet soon," he said.
He also noted that AIIL got no special incentives, over and above that which is available to other companies, but did not specify what was in the agreement.
Earlier in the negotiation process, access to government incentives had been mentioned as a sticking point.
"Remember, it was one year ago that we signed the MOU, which handed over the asset to them. We are at the stage now where we have satisfied all the conditions and are about to sign the definitive agreement," Stanberry said.
Wallenford is Jamaica's largest coffee estate and was once the largest processor of green beans originating from the Blue Mountain and high mountain regions.
Industry sources said on Wednesday that the company is no longer the number-one producer. In the crop year just ended in July, the entire sector is said to have produced 164,000 boxes of Blue Mountain cherry coffee.
The DBJ disclosed last year that Wallenford has access to more than 5,000 acres of Blue Mountain coffee land and the capacity to process more than nine million pounds of coffee in its facilities.

This is a very unusual opportunity to own an original 1960 Citroen Ripple Bonnet 2CV.  The vehicle is currently in England, waiting to be exported to the US. Once it arrived at Eurocar Imports, we will be performing a full restoration. The car will look and feel brand new.
The Ripple Bonnet was first introduced in 1960, when the Citroen 2CV was updated. In particular the corrugated Citroën H Van style "ripple bonnet" of convex swages was replaced (except for the Sahara), with one using six larger concave swages.
These genuine Ripples are very rare in Europe and worth a considerable amount of money worldwide. This is a great chance to own a real piece of history.
Here are a few photos of the vehicle. I will post more soon after we have made some progress with the restoration, she's going to look amazing!

Recently I watched the HGTV re-run featuring Lela Rose's townhouse. This fashion designer definitely thinks outside the box when it comes to design, especially in this amazing New York apartment! The living room has a glass table/ runway that drops down from the ceiling to match up with a table which lifts up from the floor in the "shaker box" room. Also these tables meet up to the kitchen table to create one long entertaining space. The rest of the house includes a felt room and doggie elevator shaped like a monopoly piece, puzzle piece stair case, hidden speakeasy, and DJ booth loft. This house really has it all!

By Jessica Stone, CCTV Washington Correspondent
A military jury has struck down the most serious charges against the first of eighth soldiers on trial for the death of a Chinese-American soldier. Sgt. Adam Holcomb, 30, of Youngstown, Ohio was found not guilty on charges of negligent homicide, reckless endangerment and communicating a threat, but he was convicted of assaulting and maltreating Private Danny Chen and one other soldier.
The case now moves to the top general in charge of the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Lt. General Daniel Allyn will review the jury's findings and make a final ruling. That could take up to six months. Chen killed himself October 3, 2011.
Written in black ink on his arm: "Tell my family, I'm sorry." After six days of testimony, it took the jury just two hours to reach its verdict. Chen family supporters are outraged. "There is no place. There is no place for a leader in this army who has shown his disdain and his hate for Asian-Americans, to be serving in the U.S. military," said Elizabeth OuYang, president of OCA-NY, "None of our brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or family members could ever feel protected by him being their superior." During his sentencing hearing, Sergeant Holcomb took the stand and blamed trauma from previous deployments for his actions.
He told jurors: "I know I messed up by putting my hands on a soldier, and I know that's not the right thing to do." In closing arguments, Prosecutor, Major Steven Berlin argued that Holcomb was a racist and a poor leader who tormented instead of taught Private Chen, an inexperienced soldier. Berlin told the jury Chen "was immediately ostrasized" when he arrived at Command Outpost Strong Point Palace in late August of 2011.
He was kept off patrols because he had not proven himself as a soldier. In short order, Sergeant Adam Holcomb joined him, Berlin said, after he was injured. That's where Berlin says Holcomb mistreated Chen. In late September, Holcomb dragged him off the top bunk of a bunkbed, possibly knocking him unconscious as he dragged him more than 36 meters across rocky ground.
Internal bruises were later found inside Chen's body. "What broke Private Danny Chen was his treatment,specifically, [Sergeant Adam Holcomb] who drug him across the rocks," said Berlin. Holcomb and Chen shared a tent, giving Chen no place to escape. Soldiers say he was found sleeping outside the tent and even in a portable toilet. "You've seen the last six weeks of Danny's life, no wonder death seemed like the only option," Berlin told jurors.
But Holcomb's attorney, Captain Anthony Osborne, told the jury Private Danny Chen was mentally and physically weak and depressed over being disowned by his parents after he joined the military. The Chens dispute that. "Rather than paint [Sergeant Holcomb] as a tormentor, let's look at [Private Danny Chen] and why he committed suicide," said Osborne.
Osborne told the jury that the courtroom is not a place to try a suicide: "It's easier to paint a picture of a tormentor than admit the Army shouldn't have deployed [Chen.]" In an exclusive interview with CCTV before the trial, the Chens said they supported their son's decision to join the military and said there's only one way justice can be served. "Convict those people who committed the crime so I feel that my son could rest at peace.
Even if he die, he could rest in peace," said Chen Suzhen. Two other soldiers, Sergeant Travis Cardin and Staff Sergeant Blaine Dugas, have pleaded guilty to some or all of the charges against them. If given immunity, they could be asked to testify against the other soldiers on trial.

Long-time monohull owner CAROLINE STRAINIG takes a walk on the dark side to see how monos and multis stack up when it comes to sailing and boating in South East Queensland. Will she swap allegiances? Read on to find out.
Someone asked me recently what type of boat is best for South East Queensland – a monohull or a multihull. As a monohull sailor, I only had one answer. But then, I thought, why not investigate the multihull, learn more about it from a devout 'multihuller', and compare with the mono? Off I trundled to do just that.
Geoff Cruse, the Manly-based sailor who agreed to speak on behalf of multihulls, was a boat builder for 40 plus years producing Windspeed multihulls before becoming a marine surveyor. He has lost track of the number of multihulls he has sailed on. Today, he still races regularly on a Nacra 36 speed machine, and a Schionning 16 high-performance cruiser, among others.
His grin was a mile wide when I asked him what he loves about sailing multihulls. "I can sum it up in one word – fun," he says. "It's a speed thing. It's so exhilarating passing other boats, and we sail right on the edge, lifting a hull and with the bows going under."
Here are some of the other reasons Geoff thinks multihulls should be your first choice for our local waters.
Geoff explains that a typical 10-metre multihull draws from around 1.2 metres to as little as 0.45 metres if it has dagger boards and a kick-up rudder. "This means you can get in close and beach the boat. And at places like the Sandhills, this is fantastic experience," he says.
He has wonderful memories of family holidays beaching their multihull, and letting the children run wild on the beach nearby while the adults relaxed on the boat.
The shallow draught also means multis can anchor closer in, where it is more sheltered. Geoff acknowledges some drop-keep monos can do the same, but says it is unusual to find a drop keel in a larger mono.
Geoff believes a multi is without parallel when it comes to space and comfort. "If you want the on-water equivalent of an apartment, you cannot go past them," he says. "Yes, per foot overall length, they are more expensive, but that's because you have much more room aboard." He estimates a 10-metre catamaran would have as much living space as a 12-metre monohull.
He says multis sail flatter than a mono, and tells the tale of how a rose bowl left out on a table by mistake survived an offshore delivery. However, he admits they can still have a choppy action, particularly to windward offshore. So it is not always "sailing at its level best", as multi lovers claim.
Safety-wise, Geoff stresses the cruising catamaran of today is a different creature from the high-speed racing machines we see capsizing in races like the America's Cup. "Nowadays it would be very rare for a cruising cat to overturn," he says. "Cruising monos should be compared with cruising multis, and the same for racers."
He points out that, multis have multiple hulls instead of one, so there are two or three independent watertight floatation areas. "Multis are unlikely to sink when flooded or capsized because of this," he says.
Just as Geoff finds sailing on multis fun, I find sailing on a monohull thrilling. It is that heeling feeling, as you go to windward, and the boat heels and settles into the groove. It just feels so – well – right.
When it comes to speed, a well-designed monohull can give you a more than acceptable turn of speed. Although the rule is that multihulls are faster, which makes for shorter passages and gives more chance of outrunning bad weather, there are monohulls that can do the same.
A monohull has less windage than a multi, making it easier to berth. In tricky situations, the multi is harder to berth. Moreover, because of its shallower draught and the extra windage, the multi swings differently at anchor to a deep-keel mono, so you need to be careful to allow enough swinging room when anchoring near monos.
The signs a monohull is overpowered are unmistakable, even to a novice. A mono will round up, heel excessively, and basically tell you where to go. A multi has very high initial stability in comparison, so it heels much less. Yes, there are some signs for a multi – they will heel slightly, start to bury a bow, and the steering will become heavier – but these signs are less obvious to inexperienced sailors.
Even a small monohull always has sufficient accommodation space for a comfortable overnighter. A $10,000 RL24 trailer-sailer has a vee-berth, and at least one-quarter berth. On the other hand, a small catamaran has minimal, if any, accommodation over the bridgedeck, so you need to buy a sizable multi before you can overnight in comfort.
Admittedly, multis do rule the roost when it comes to shallow draught most of the time. But an increasing number of monohull manufacturers offer shallow-draught versions, such as the beachable Sun Odyssey 33i from Jeanneau. Trailer-sailers are also outstanding in this respect.
A mono may not sail as flat as a multi, but a multi can still develop a jerky, sideways seasick-inducing motion, which some people find worse than a monohull's. The sound of waves slapping on the underside of the multi's bridgedeck when going to windward can also be annoying, which obviously does not exist on a mono.
In case of a capsize, the trusty mono will normally self-right. On the other hand, the multi will stay upside down, albeit with a stable platform while awaiting rescue.
Another tick on the plus side for monos is that they take up less space in a marina berth, so berthing fees are usually cheaper. It is possible, though, to pay lesser fees for a multi if you can snag an outside berth at a marina that does not charge extra for wider vessels.
Weighing up the pros and cons of both when it comes to the Gold Coast and Moreton Bay, I would have to say multihulls have a lot going for them when it comes to sailing and boating in this area. Yes, I admit it! However, until I win Lotto, I will keep sailing on my friend's drop-keel trailer-sailer, which can do many of the same things a multihull can – albeit on a more modest scale.
Multihull pros
- Shallow draught
- Ability to beach
- Space, glorious space
- Exhilarating speed
- Flatter sailing
. . . and cons
- Cost per foot length overall
- Higher berthing charges
- More windage
- Difficult to right after capsizing
- Less noticeable feedback from the helm, at least for novices
Monohull pros
- Cheaper per foot length overall
- Lower berthing charges
- Self-righting after capsize, normally
- That heeling feeling some sailors love
. . . and cons
- Deeper draught; although some shoal-draft/drop keel available
- Most cannot be beached
- Less space than the same length catamaran
- Slower, so less able to outrun bad weather
- Heeling at acute angles that can be uncomfortable
"Multihulls are ideal for our local waters mainly due to their shallow draught of around one metre and massive interior and exterior volume, which makes them perfect for family and friends to get away on for the day, weekend, or week. South East Queensland is multihull mecca on the Broadwater or out in the ocean." – Rowan McMahon, Queensland state manager, The Multihull Group (national Lagoon distributors)
"The shallow draught typical of catamarans and trimarans allows access to the most remote anchorages on the Broadwater and surrounds. And their spacious living and entertaining areas all on the one level ensures you make the most out of your time on the water with loved ones." – Mark Elkington, managing director, Multihull Solutions
"[There are] One hundred beautiful islands in an underrated location with a huge variety of environments. Much of the bay is simply inaccessible to deep-draught boats and untenable to boats, which roll at anchor. Sail a multi and get there quicker. Enjoy the sail, anchor flatter, relax on the tramps, and have fun." – Andrew Crawford, SE sales representative, Multihull Central
"A sail or power catamaran makes so much sense for many reasons. They are 'on the water' rather than in it, which means that it takes very little power to propel the boat. [They are] brighter and better ventilated inside, provide a large and stable platform, offer privacy when guests are aboard, and their draught means you can anchor in shallow and less crowded areas." – Ian Mackenzie, director, Catamaran Company

We have sourced unique pieces of exceptional quality from around the world to express our vision.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming (PRWEB) August 11, 2016
Jackson, Wyoming, isn't all boardwalks, boots and spurs. At WRJ Design a curated array of 15 international and domestic lines are exclusively carried in Jackson Hole by the firm, announced WRJ Design CEO Rush Jenkins. From hand-blown glass created in an artisan factory on the Italian island of Murano to a North American company innovating with materials such as kraft paper-wrapped wire for its tough yet beautiful outdoor furniture, the exclusive lines add global finesse to WRJ's two Jackson Hole showrooms.
"We have sourced unique pieces of exceptional quality from around the world to express our vision, a blend of alpine elegance, casual contemporary, classic sophistication and natural luxury," says Jenkins, who, with COO Klaus Baer, recently led members of their design team on a European behind-the-scenes tour of factories and showrooms from their exclusive lines.
Crafting luxury interiors with exquisite refinement in a place that is otherwise defined by the rugged landscape of the Teton Mountains is a hallmark of WRJ Design. Together with Baer, Jenkins grounds design projects with iconic European collections from Poltrona Frau (Italy); Molteni & C (Italy); Hermès (France); and Arpin (Belgium); as well as American greats Ralph Lauren and Bolier.
During the trip to Italy for 2016 Milan Design Week this spring, Jenkins found creative impetus on a visit to the Carlo Moretti artisan glass factory. "Every piece inside the Carlo Moretti compound—be it finished, in-process or shattered—feels like a work of art made incandescent by transcendent inspiration," he says. See WRJ Design's Hunt x Gather blog for more of the WRJ team's experiences in the field.
Following a career as curator for exhibition design at Sotheby's in New York, Jenkins teamed up with Baer to open their design studio in Jackson nearly four years ago. There, Jenkins pairs his Rocky Mountain roots with a sophisticated aesthetic, while Baer adds his own international and urban influence. The duo continues to scour the globe to source rare and indelible elements for unforgettable application in interior designs for their Wyoming-based firm.
Juxtaposing the natural elements of the West with finely crafted worldly influences is emblematic of WRJ's designs. The firm might pair the clean-lined organic forms of Janus et Cie's outdoor furniture line with Jackson Hole's remarkable mountain setting. Or layer the lush textures of Loro Piana textiles to combine fashion and comfort. And the addition of Hermès table settings elevates the simplest venue to high art. WRJ understands that the relaxed lifestyle of the West is best when punctuated with luxurious detail.
WRJ Design has selected the 15 lines exclusively for their showrooms to channel profound experiences with beauty from recent sojourns to Italy, France and the U.K. The result is a polished connection of the Rocky Mountain's natural landscape with the finest examples of contemporary international design.
About WRJ Design:
Headquartered in Jackson, Wyoming, WRJ Design imparts the special serenity of its local Teton landscape to interior designs in Jackson Hole and across the country. Begun out of a passion for great design by Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer, WRJ creates experiences and environments through its designs, whether for interiors or exhibitions, that provide timeless reflections of the owners or collectors. WRJ's exhibition designs for titans of philanthropy, fashion, music and politics offer insight into the lives of these luminaries as they showcase the objects they loved.

|[jira] Updated: (DERBY-3682) SYSCS_BULK_INSERT doesn't quote identifiers or strings properly
|Wed, 21 May 2008 12:05:55 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3682?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Knut Anders Hatlen updated DERBY-3682: -------------------------------------- Attachment: d3682.diff The attached patch fixes the missing escaping of identifiers and literals. I also modified VTITest so that it runs the bulk insert test with a table whose name contains " and '. Ideally, the SYSCS_BULK_INSERT procedure should have used question marks and setString() instead of manually escaped string literals in the SQL text it built, but the parameters to the Warehouse VTI used in VTITest are required at compile time, and the test therefore failed if the statement was parametrized. I have started the regression tests. > SYSCS_BULK_INSERT doesn't quote identifiers or strings properly > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-3682 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3682 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.4.1.3 > Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen > Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen > Priority: Minor > Attachments: d3682.diff > > > Discovered by Mamta A. Satoor in DERBY-1062. > SYSCS_BULK_INSERT builds an insert statement in which it doesn't quote the schema name or the table name. It also takes string parameters that are inserted into the statement text with single quotes around them, but that won't work if those strings contain single quote characters. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Somewhere There I Became Who I Am Now (2004)
Three c-type prints (29.5x39cm) presented in a fold-out album
In these self-portraits I re-enacted past personas from three long-term, teenage relationships. The images are embellished by telling contrasts in appearance, dealing with the passing of adolescence and the onset of adulthood.

We've just completed our second full day of sightseeing the Bernese Oberland area right in the heart of the Swiss Alps. And forgive us if we've used this adjective to describe Plitvice in Croatia, but the scenery here is just sick.
Now, we've got skyscraping snowy peaks towering over charming alpine villages both strewn on high altitude meadows and foothills as well as on the valley floor. And especially in the case of Lauterbrunnen Valley, there are heaps of waterfalls coming down on both sides of the steep-walled valley. It's a scene every bit as reminiscent of Yosemite Valley, except here there's a lot of infrastructure to support public transportation (funiculars, cable cars, and trains) as well as people living amongst such Sound of Music or Heidi scenery (where Yosemite is more of a true nature preserve).
We can't wait to share the waterfalling experiences as well as other sights from our trip. So far we've visited the main waterfalls of Lauterbrunnen Valley - Staubbach Falls, Murrenbach Falls, Trummelbach Falls, and even lesser known ones like Agertenbach Falls, and Mullenbach Falls as well as countless other falls that look significant but we have yet to identify names of them (if they exist).
Tomorrow, we're shifting our focus out of the Lauterbrunnen and Jungfrau area and moving to other parts of the Interlaken surrounds. Depending on the weather, we could be waterfalling around the Lake Brienz and Meiringen area, trying our luck at seeing the Matterhorn at Zermatt, or just doing some city touring of Bern and maybe even some sightseeing at Lake Thun along the way. Stay tuned...

The importance of serving the right amount of ads
Jampp1 helps customers boost their mobile sales with performance marketing. One of the most challenging problems of the industry is quantifying the impact an ad has on users. Understanding when a user has seen "enough" ads and reconciling click acquisition with the interests of performance advertisers have historically been difficult problems to tackle. We know that, sometimes, serving more impressions to users will result in CPA increase, since we can not influence their behavior any more. The key question is: how many ads are enough?
Measuring the impact of advertising
At Jampp, we boost mobile sales through advertising. That's why measuring the impact of advertising is key to our business. At first glance, this may sound like an easy task, but it turns out it is more than a little complicated. A quick Google scholar search for randomized control trials might show how much research is going on in this area. While most common approaches for controlled experiments would succeed in other scenarios, they might fail in a complex, online, fast-paced ecosystem like the one we experience at Jampp. Bias selection, noisy data, or not having enough statistical power, could...
Learning from the RTB market
As you might already know, Jampp is a performance marketing platform that allows companies to promote their mobile applications by leveraging real-time bidding (RTB) technologies in order to buy digital advertising from multiple inventory sources and exchanges. During an RTB transaction, an auction is announced and any interested bidder has to answer with a bid price within a time constraint of about 100 milliseconds. The bidder that wins the auction pays the second-highest price and obtains the right to print a creative (which is just jargon for displaying an ad) on a publisher site. If the banner is clicked by...
Smarter mobile fraud detection for click spamming
Jampp's mission is to help companies boost their mobile business by engaging users and driving new customers. Fighting mobile fraud is a top priority to ensure this goal is possible. Other than spamming, phishing and scamming, ad fraud is one of the most profitable scenarios for rogue internet users. With impact forecasts of mobile fraud in 2016 that varied along $1.25bn (Forensiq) and $7.2bn (ANA), we can see how this is a crucial problem in the industry.
An in depth look into caching (Part 2)
…we posted about caching. Time to post about caching again. This time, we're going to concentrate on the complexities of caching at scale. You know, you have a big honking piece of a datacenter crunching numbers so you can post the most awesome kitty pics. That's what the internet is for after all. And you want your awesome kitty pics to appear in less than 100 milliseconds because… well, teenagers are impatient.
Our take on mobile fraud detection
Jampp's mission is to help companies grow their mobile business by engaging users and driving new customers. Combatting mobile fraud is a top priority to ensure this is possible. Other than spamming, phishing and scamming, ad fraud is one of the most profitable scenarios for rogue internet users. Mobile fraud forecasts for 2016 vary along $1.25bn (Forensiq) and $7.2bn (ANA). Yes, you've read that correctly: impact is on the order of billions of dollars.
Scoring our publishers
At Jampp, we use a variety of sources to generate our traffic flow. Generally speaking, the source employed in one campaign is not necessarily the same as the one used in another. However, most platforms do not have a unified measure to compare the quality of the traffic sources. To create such measure, it is not as trivial or simple as comparing CTRs due to the aforementioned usage of different sources in different campaigns and because campaigns do not share the same post-install metrics (and we are precisely interested in post-install quality). In this entry, we briefly discuss how we...
