I see Madison and she is beautiful. Not beautiful in the way where I fall in love with her at first sight but in the way where I want to avoid eye contact and creep to the other side of a room so I don't embarrass myself before her. Beautiful in that way where if she were pushing a carriage down the street with an infant I'd stop and tell her "Your baby is going to be lovely," knowing I can't tell shit from the lump of new pink flesh swaddled in blankets.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
Though, I did make the mistake of calling her a Barbie. It's not that she's got long blonde hair or a body that defies physics. Her hair is colored shades of artificial but spectacular gold. When we stand face to face without her heels we're even, a few inches above the average man or woman. You can see where children drained her in the stomach and breasts, loose skin showing beneath the black light. What makes me think of Barbie is how her lips pout and the arch of her impressive eyebrows. It's not what Barbie is, but what Barbie means- you want her for a few minutes? Well, ain't no way in hell unless you're willing to spend the cash.
Fuck off.
When Madison climbs the stage people crowd the plush seats. A man who seems a cross between a hippy and a lumberjack sits and puts twenty dollars bills on the padded tip rail like they're Washingtons.
"The girls like me because of the poetry I write her," the Hipjack tells me, alcohol wafting from his throat to my nose. He stares out from thick rimmed black glasses with bulging eyes behind.
Madison removes her top to reveal nipples hard and erect on small breasts, the flesh responding as if it knows that it is time to work.
"What do you mean I'm a Barbie?" Madison says while a drunken dancer who tells me to 'call her Sparkles' and Hipjack heckle me. I fumble for words and have no real response but half-assed reasoning. I falter. I fail.
"What is this?" Hipjack asks me, drunk and smiling, "Gonzo journalism?"
"You ain't no Thompson," Sparkles shouts over the bass, "You ain't no Thompson."
I float around the club, embarrassed. Sparkles. What a cunt. All I want to do is leave. To run. Why stay? Such a stupid idea? Who do I think I am, anyway? They're right. This isn't my world. I ain't no Thompson and this isn't Gonzo journalism. I should go home.
"And now to the stage is the beautiful Sadie," the DJ drawls. Sparkles prances up onto the stage and dances to "Pretty Fly For A White Guy", twirling her dyed red hair.
Sadie reminds me of porn stars the way her facial expressions form for customers. Her teeth remind me of Europeans. She's wrapped in leg warmers and lace as her g-string sinks into her hips, camouflaged in flesh. Hipjack comes to the stage and drops a twenty.
"I was hoping you'd come sooner," Sadie says as she moves from some Mexicans to the drunken amalgamation, nuzzling and dancing against his aging, flannel-clad body.
I end up sitting with Aurora and Suit in the back by the pool tables, sulking and talking with less heart than earlier. As the night wanes Madison comes and finds me and sits down. Aurora makes room and is quick to leave, looking the two of us over, telling me she's going to dress out. Madison apologizes for Sadie and Hipjack. All that's left is her and I, four inches from each other, and it all feels too close. I want to be on the other side of bullet proof, prison-grade glass with guards and shackles and then I'll feel as if we're separated enough. She intimidates me.
Articulating my Barbie comment comes out even worse with us one on one, but Madison waves it away with a manicured hand and tells me she understands. Her own words are broken. I can tell she wants to be clear, but everything comes out chopped up. She fishes for words and starts one sentence only to begin a new one half way through. Regardless, she lets me know she's never seen herself as some unapproachable beauty.
"Well, yeah, but I've always hated the girls who sat in the mirror [and were like] 'I'm so hot'," she tells me as she moves her hair from her face, "I don't see myself that way and I never have, nor will I ever view myself that way.
"I kind of prided myself in a way too, like, to seclude myself. I always had a lot going on as a kid and I was not involved. I don't know, really, I've always be an individualist. And for the most part I look the same as I did when I was [younger]."
Hipjack comes up while the other girls are up on stage doing Platter, where most of the girls dance as a singular organism, vying for tips and interacting to get the last bits of cash from the pockets of drunkards and number-one fans. Madison excludes herself. The older girls tend to do so on occasion, though some are willing to slither in the pile for a few extra dollars.
"Hey," Hipjack interrupts, "I got- I threw out a bunch of ones up there," his voice gets quiet, tones of inebriation overtaking him.
"Do you ever," he pauses, "dance?"
"I don't ever [do platter]. I let them do platter," she motions to the stage and smiles at Hipjack, using his real name. It sounds so proper, so out of place here on the ripped leather with cigarette smoke filling our ears and eyes and noses. "Go home."
"They broke my eardrums with their tits."
"Oh yeah?"
Madison ignores Hipjack's presence and lets her words form into sentences more concrete than before. In her little black dress with her tangles of golden hair she looks tired, disinterested, only here with me to clarify her existence.
"I never really, uh- I know this sounds funny but I'm good at this. It's something that I was good at from the get go, so I kind of, I dunno, when you're good at something you stick with it.
"It's not really socially acceptable. It's very age sensitive, but-" she let's the words linger, disappearing into wisps of smoke as if whatever the 'but' is she expects me to get. To just know.

Choose greens wisely: AAS reveals calcium availability
- Published: Jan 15, 2015
- Author: David Bradley
- Channels: Atomic
Eat the right greens
An in vitro study using atomic absorption spectroscopy has investigated the concentrations of calcium found in diverse green vegetables commonly used in Indian cuisine as well as allowing the researchers to comment on the availability for absorption from the diet of the calcium present in these edible plants. The work perhaps points the way to defining which green vegetables are the more optimal dietary sources of calcium, which is particularly important for vegans and some vegetarians who do not obtain calcium from dairy products nor meat.
Chemists Augustine Amalraj and Anitha Pius of The Gandhigram Rural Institute - Deemed University, in Tamil Nadu, India, point out that calcium is the most abundant mineral element in the body, found in many foods but also ingested in supplement form. The majority of the body's calcium store is concentrated in tooth and bone. The balance between deposition and resorption of bone is keenly regulated by the body but control becomes looser as we age and in particular in post-menopausal women and in some disease states leading to bone deficit that can make breaks happen more readily. As such, ensuring a person has an adequate supply of dietary calcium throughout their lives can be critical to bone health.
Dietary deficiencies
Unfortunately, dietary sources of calcium are limited with a diet of mainly vegetables, for vegetarians and those in the developing world, for instance, where dairy products or meat are either not eaten out of choice or there is limited availability. As such, it is important to know which vegetables offer the best choice in terms of calcium intake. The team reports that green leafy vegetables represent an important component in the diet and provide a good source of many vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals beneficial to health. However, they also contain a complex array of natural products metabolites and other compounds that can reduce the bioavailability of calcium, for instance, oxalate, phytate, tannin and dietary fibre. After all, the plants themselves did not evolve to provide humans with a source of food and the complex biochemistry of all species exists for the benefit of the plant not those who eat it.
The team has now used a simulated gastric digestion method to break down samples of twenty green leafy vegetables commonly eaten in a typical Indian diet and the used AAS to measure calcium content and equilibrium dialysis to assess bioavailability of any calcium present. The team found that cooking made little difference to calcium bioavailability.
Testing times for greens
Among the plants tested, Sesbania grandiflora was particularly high in calcium absorption inhibitors despite containing high levels of calcium. By contrast, Chenopodium album, Alternanthera philoxeroides and Centella asiatica with their lower total calcium content, released almost twice as much calcium for absorption than other species. Fundamentally, absolute calcium content was not particularly relevant to the diet, rather the concentrations of inhibitors if high made a particular vegetable less beneficial for those hoping to boost their calcium intake.
The team concludes that people should be encouraged to eat more C. album, A. philoxeroides, C. asiatica, H. sabdariffa (Linn), A. dentata, B. alba and A. indica, which are all rich in bioavailable calcium and so can reduce malnourishment as well preventing the dental problem of fluorosis by precipitating fluoride as insoluble calcium fluoride.

Hemp Milk Trial!
3 comments:
I am crossing my finger so I can benefit from it too!! :) I tried Arrowroot pudding but I didn't get it right and haven't re-ventured on it. It is bland since my little guy can't have sweeteners; and then I was just nervous (at the time) about him going over on carbs having it and making him sick (when it is so critical for him to not get sick right now because I am doing his new formula un-supported.ReplyDelete
I hope the unsweetened goes better, and you don't see any other weird diapers! It is the one my little guy tolerates!
We have been doing the unsweetened vanilla (the regular has rice) and she has been fine with vanilla extract since about 10 months old, but we are now going to try the unsweetened original. Three explosive, loose and slightly mucousy diapers today (greenish black) and B told me several times this afternoon that her "tummy sad" which made me feel horrible. . . I hoping she heard that phrase somewhere and didn't come up with that on her own. . .ReplyDelete
Hi Amanda! Been a while since I have stopped in and wanted to say hi! I used your sorbet recipe for Olivia's birthday and made 3 different batches in pink, orange and green. I took a scoop of each and put in a bowl for her and served rainbow sherbert to the kids. It was a big hit! Thank you! I bought hemp milk today but am wondering if I should wait a do a few other basic food trials first that we haven't done yet (winter squash, spinach, pineapple). Any thoughts?ReplyDelete

I'm a real creature of habit – I'm not talking about bad habits this time, but routine. This week has been horrible for me, all because my routine has been thrown out by a Public Holiday on Monday. I spent a lovely day with old friends, but the rest of the week has felt like chaos ever since. You see I'm a real routine person. I don't love spontaneity, unless it is planned for. I need my Monday to get organised for the week ahead. In fact I'm thinking of campaigning to get all public holidays moved Friday – that would for my routine much better.
One comfort I have is that God is also a lover of routine. I know he is hugely spontaneous with healing miracles, walking on water and the parting seas business, but he recognises the need for habits. He says we need one day a week to rest, the same day each week so you know to plan for that. God recognises our weaknesses in warning us not to give up some routines:
Hebrews 10:25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another–and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
He warns us it is dangerous to break the habit of regular Christian fellowship. He also knows that to develop some good habits we must practice them continuously:
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Be joyful always; 17 pray continually; 18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
God knows that we need to be in the habit of continual communication with Him so he tells us not to stop. I'm glad that God recognises the benefit of routine and the weakness I have when routine is not available. I pray that I will routinely follow him in everyday life so that when spontaneous things happen my life will not fall into chaos.

Drabble: Doctor, doctor
The doctor examined my wound. He dug and probed, and I was glad when he stopped. One would think he was kneading dough. When he saw my 'English Poetry from Chaucer to Rossetti', he revealed a little of himself. Eyes alight, he quoted: 'I remember, I remember, the house where I was borne', then switched to the last couple of lines about being 'further away from Heaven now that he is old enough to know the height of trees'.

House passes health care bill
(AP) - President Barack Obama said Sunday it was timefor the Senate to "take the baton" on health care reform afterthe House passed its plan for overhauling the nation's health caresystem.
"For years we've been told that this couldn't be done," Obamasaid in a brief statement from the Rose Garden. "But last nightthe House proved different."
The Democratic-controlled House on Saturday narrowly passed thefar-reaching legislation, 220-215, but the road ahead in the Senatepromises to be rocky. The president said the House vote tookcourage for many lawmakers because of the heated and oftenmisleading rhetoric that accompanied debate over how the change thesystem.
"Now it falls on the United States Senate to take the baton andbring this effort to the finish line on behalf of the Americanpeople, and I'm absolutely confident that they will," Obama said."I'm equally convinced that on the day that we gather here at theWhite House and I sign comprehensive health insurance reformlegislation into law, they'll be able to join their Housecolleagues and say this was their finest moment in publicservice."
Republican lawmakers have vowed to do all they can to stop theDemocratic plan, which they contend will cost jobs, raise insurancerates and lead to huge tax increases. The Senate has yet toschedule debate on its version of health care reform.
House Republicans were nearly unanimous in opposing the planthat would expand coverage to tens of millions of Americans andplace tough new restrictions on the insurance industry.
A triumphant House Speaker Nancy Pelosi compared the legislationto the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 yearslater.

THIBODAUX — Archbishop Shaw's running game was too much for E.D. White Catholic to handle as the Eagles cruised to a 48-20 nondistrict victory Friday night.
Led by running back Trey Ragas' 234 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, the Eagles pounded the Cardinals' defense with 491 yards from scrimmage — including 340 on the ground.
Ragas and Shaw quarterback Matt Keller (15 rushes, 102 yards and two touchdowns) gave E.D. White problems from the start as the Eagles scored on six of its 10 possessions in the game.
The Cardinals made it a one-possession game in the third quarter when helped by a roughing-the-punter penalty. E.D. White used a 14-play drive to trail 27-20 with 4:46 left in the third quarter. Darius Charles (14 carries, 52 yards and two touchdowns) scored on a 2-yard run to end the drive.
Shaw (4-1) needed just two plays to respond as Ragas broke free on a 74-yard run through the Cardinals' defense, putting the Eagles in front 34-20.
E.D. White (3-2) gave up the game's final touchdown came on a 73-yard interception return by Shaw's Juawane Gray.
"They didn't make a mistake in the kicking game and they got an onside kick on us," Shaw coach Scott Bairnsfather said. "They beat us in the kicking, but our offense has been good this year and we got a few turnovers at the end of the game."
LIVONIA 23, MCDONOGH (35) 7: McDonogh 35's Darius Moore scored on a 64-yard run to give them a 7-0 lead, but it was all Livonia after that as the Wildcats, the ninth ranked team in the latest Class 3A poll, scored 23 unanswered points to improve to 4-0 on the season. Malcolm Dedrick ran for 163 yards on 30 carries and scored on a pair of 19-yard runs. The defense did the rest, scoring on a 79-yard fumble recovery by Dequincy Victorian and a safety.
McDonough dropped to 1-4 on the season.
BROTHER MARTIN 40, VANDEBILT 0: The Crusaders, currently No. 10 in the Class 5A poll, dominated the Terriers in an easy victory at Buddy Marcello Stadium.
Brother Martin (5-0) attacked on the ground, racking up 339 rushing yards —with most of those yards gained by Jared West (13 attempts, 146 yards, 2 TDs) and Bruce Jordan-Swilling (7 attempts, 124 yards, 2 TDs).
FRANKLINTON 39, AMITE 13: Azende Magee ran for 197 yards as Franklinton pulled away for a nondistrict win.
The Demons (4-1) built a 19-7 halftime lead against the Warriors (3-2), whose only first-half touchdown came on a 100-yard interception just before the break.
RIVERSIDE 68, COHEN 8: Jordan Loving had five passing touchdowns to five different receivers (Herb Magee, Von Julien, Darrien Cook, Tyler Gauthier and Brandon Sanders). Garland Robertson returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown.
CHEF 45, NOHS 13: Tyler Dixon ran for 133 yards and scored three touchdowns as Christian Home Educators Fellowship scored 31 points in the first half to earn the win over the New Orleans Home School Thursday night.
Dixon scored on runs of 11, and 66 yards and ran a punt back 36 yards for another touchdown. Quarterback Arek Moslander threw a 30-yard scoring pass to David Pourciau and scored on an 8-yard run for CHEF.
Myron Ernest scored on an 11-yard run and Tyler Rhodes ran for an 11-yard TD for NOHS.

I did a comparison of how the new laptops stack up against my desktop iMac (do they even call them iMacs anymore?), which is, let's see, between three and a half and four years old. How time flies...it doesn't seem that long ago.
I'll try to get all the jargon down.
My current computer has 1.25 GHz processing speed. The new MacBook/MacBook Pro has a range of 2.0 GHz up to 2.4 GHz. So the slowest is quite a bit faster than mine, and the fastest is almost twice as fast.
My computer has 768 MB memory (and I added an extra memory card, as it only came with 512MB I think). The MacBooks all have 1GB memory; the MacBook Pros have 2GB.
My hard drive must have 80GB, as it says 74.41 GB, and that is an usual number, to be sure. The MacBooks have 80GB/120GB/160GB; the MacBook Pros have 120GB/160GB/160GB.
Not sure if I need another (bigger) external hard drive for the automatic backups that happen with Time Machine.
J has been asking what I want for my birthday (on
Specifically, the 15-inch, 2.4GHz, 2GB hard drive with 160GB memory (just in case he's checking this out for ideas...).
He's a little clueless about these kinds of things, I love him dearly, don't get me wrong, but birthday goings-on and presents and things--not his forte. It would be a big present, but it's a big birthday. You know, when the first number in your age changes, it seems to be a bigger deal. (I'm feeling a bit old.) So, we'll see....

"This is the latest in a series of financial fiascos in the MoD under David Cameron.
"The Government needs to come clean about the cost of the aircraft carrier programme and explain what has caused an increase that leaves the total projected cost at £6.2bn, almost double what was originally envisaged.
"Last year, the Government wasted £100m by changing its mind about the type of fighter planes it was ordering for the aircraft carrier and reverting to Labour's plans which it said were more cost effective.
"The Defence Secretary's claim that he has balanced the MoD books looks increasingly nonsensical.
"Britain deserves better than this shambolic approach to our nation's defence"

Yesterday, I attended a cesarean clinic at my hospital's birth center. During the clinic, a midwife prepared me in the same way as for a normal operation: pre-op instructions, blood samples, necessary prescriptions…
I thought it would be reassuring. The midwife would explain the before, during and after op, and I would ask all my serious and silly questions. When I saw my consultant on Thursday, he said not to worry, whatever I wanted, she would write it down and it would be done on the day. No problem.
Except, for the midwife, there was a problem. Several. There was a problem with the timing of the meeting; she kept looking at her watch. There was a problem with all my requests; like getting skin to skin contact since they need to wipe and warm the baby first. But, most importantly, there was a big issue with my requests about post-birth care of my baby.
"Because of my previous birth history, I wondered when the baby would be checked out by a pediatrician?" I asked.
"Oh, usually they examine the babies 24-hours after the birth. But, it's not a problem, one of the midwives will do an initial check."
My insides twisted up inside of me when I heard that. "Is there any way we could get someone in sooner," I asked.
"I doubt it. The doctors really don't like coming down earlier than they need to if the baby presents okay."
She already asked a detailed round of questions regarding May's birth, so she knew the circumstances. Yet, while we spoke, she jotted down notes in my file – mundane things like, "swab provided" – while simultaneously speaking from script. There was nothing ordinary about May's birth, but she gave me the brush off in the manner people do when they think they've heard it all before.
Therefore, when she said, "The doctors don't really like coming down…" I fell into a kind of emotional coma. Inside, I screamed, "They can't come down one flight of stairs and check on a baby that might die? What? What?"
But, on the outside, I exhibited no signs of life. Instead, I calmly said, "Issues with my daughter weren't discovered for 12-hours. I don't want that to happen again."
Very casually, like we were discussing food on the ward, she asked, "And, what kind of signs were those?"
I collapsed inside as I delivered a list of a series of symptoms that anyone, medically trained or not, would know could kill a newborn: "She wasn't breathing. She had major seizures. She wouldn't feed. She didn't cry."
She is unfazed. "Well, if that happened, I can assure you a doctor would come down immediately. And, there will always be midwives on hand to check her."
"No offense, but there were midwives on hand to check May as well, and when I thought she wasn't breathing, my midwife didn't even pick her up to check her vitals. I'd really feel more comfortable if a pediatrician could check the baby over as soon as possible."
The midwife looked at her watch again and said, "I would like to say I could guarantee that, but I can't. So, why don't you ask the team on the day and they will see what they can do. And, if that is all…"
I was encouraged to leave. And, I'm ashamed to say, I did. I left. I found myself smiling at her and walking, of my own accord, out of the office, down the hall, into the elevator and out the hospital doors.
For the next three hours, I didn't do anything. I didn't listen to any music on the drive home. I didn't eat any lunch when I got there. I sat at my kitchen table and I stared into space and thought, "No one is going to watch out for my baby. My baby is going to stop breathing and I will be too tired and drugged out to realize."
Finally, my husband phoned to see how it all went. As soon as I heard his voice, I sobbed. I told him what happened. He was furious. "What is wrong with these people? Don't they know that May almost died?"
"I tried to explain," I said, feebly.
He calmed his voice. "I know you did, honey. Who did you talk to? I'm calling the hospital. I'm calling them right now."
Ten minutes later he phoned me back. "Don't worry. I spoke to one of the obstetricians. He is putting in the request now, a pediatrician will examine the baby. There was no question. He didn't argue with me. He was in total agreement."
He gave me the number of the doctor, who I called. By the time I got a hold of him, the request had already been made and filed. "Don't worry," he said. "You are completely right to worry. There will be no problem having a pediatrician look at your baby. It is totally justifiable."
I felt so much better. But, so much better is still not the carefree mother-to-be I was when I entered the hospital yesterday. The midwife – that insensitive and irresponsible woman – reminded me all too clearly that the care you get greatly depends on who you get on the day. Fingers crossed it isn't her.

As a storyteller I spend a lot of time trying to draw people into someone else's world. Last year I co-wrote a book with a class of ten year olds called "Mabel and her Amazing Fleas" (you can buy a copy here.)
It was all about the great war. But is it really possible for the mind of a modern tween to time travel into the rigid jingoistic mindset of a typical Edwardian?
So we spent a long time talking before we started writing.
For example, in a previous RE project the class had been focussing on the value of peace.
Obviously this must be the underlying ethos of any project about war, including ours. However we felt that the subject could not be dealt with thoroughly unless we trusted the children to think the arguments through properly. We wanted them to understand the many reasons that people supported the terrible war and went off quite willingly- even eagerly.
We chose a selection of WW1 recruitment posters, each one taking a different argument. (you can see some good ones here if you want some inspiration.)
Some of the posters talked about duty to king and country. Others stressed the threat of invading armies, some showed pictures of bombed English women and children. Some showed men experiencing exotic travel and adventures. Others said "all your friends have gone, why not you?"Some showed women handing out white feathers and shouting "coward" to non recruits!
We asked the children to stand at the back of the hall in a row.
As each poster came on the screen, we explained and discussed its meaning.
Then we asked everyone to take one step forward if they felt persuaded.
By the time we'd got to the end of the poster selection, many children were right at the front of the hall, most were quite far forward and two or three were still resolutely standing at the back, utterly unpersuaded.
Interestingly we noticed that those at the front had begun to shout at those who stayed behind, saying things like "you're cowards!" This was obviously intended to be playful but we found it striking how easy it was for the children to fall into these roles. In fact discussions got heated quite quickly.
We asked the children to justify their positions verbally and followed up immediately by asking them to choose a "for" or "against" position and write their argument down. They wrote eloquently and we have used some of their writing in the book.
Later on we talked about leaving home and going to the battlefield- here's some of their writing. (Our illustrator is the fab Russell Olson.- he used traditional watercolours rather than photoshop to get a lovely old-fashioned feel.)

The tears dried, the sun came up the next day, and Kapaun Mount Carmel freshman Emma Whitaker learned something about the mistake that kept her from winning individual and team titles at last week's City League golf tournament.
She wasn't alone.
After Whitaker and teammate Kali Babich were disqualified for signing incorrect scorecards in the tournament at Sim Park, Wichita State men's golf coach and Kapaun alumnus Grier Jones visited with the Crusaders and shared a personal tale of a similar experience from his past.
"It just shows you that it can happen to anyone, and it's a lesson you've got to learn," Whitaker said.
Whitaker's first chance to apply her clerical lesson will come Monday, when the Crusaders compete in the Class 5A regional at Arkansas City Country Club.
Kapaun is part of a seven-team field that includes City League tournament champion Bishop Carroll. The top three teams will advance to the 5A tournament Oct. 21 at Wichita's Consolver Golf Course.
Kapaun was second in 5A last fall, and the addition of Whitaker has kept the Crusaders strong. She posted a 75 in her high school tournament debut, won two of the four City League-only nine-hole tournaments, and was also the Arkansas City Invitational medalist at the site of Monday's tournament.
First-year Kapaun coach Corey Novascone said Whitaker plays a style of golf that belies her age.
"She's never afraid to put the hours in to get better," Novascone said. "She knows exactly what she does well and what she needs to work on. And for a 14-year-old, she's got pretty good course management."
Long and straight off the tee, Whitaker also displayed deft touch around the greens in the league tournament. She parred the final 13 holes, including a pitch-and-putt save over a bunker to a tight pin on the 18th hole.
"It's definitely something I have to keep strong," Whitaker said. "I feel like my short game has always been one of my weaknesses.
"It's where you can gain and lose a lot of strokes. All of my teammates and I have really improved our short games and it helps a lot."
Whitaker, who has worked with Wichita Country Club instructor Josh Cook since she was 9, will try to add another tournament victory against plenty of talented individuals. Eisenhower junior Makena Muccaiccio was third in 5A last season, and Maize South junior Laine Evans edged Whitaker by a stroke for medalist honors at the Andover Invitational.
Then there's Whitaker's teammates. Hannah Perkins won a 5A regional title last season, and Hannah Johnston was the City League medalist on Tuesday after Whitaker's disqualification.
"It's been really fun coming out every day with this team," Whitaker said. "You're not just playing for yourself, you're playing for a team. That's been a great experience and I've loved having it as a freshman.
"We push each other and make each other better. It's nice knowing if you have a bad day, you have teammates who can help carry you."

Bitcoin, blockchain, banking. Ask any tech-inclined financial brain and they'll tell you that 2017 is the year these three B's – as well as AI, robo advice and host of other new technologies – collide. Brace yourself, says Jonathan Cotton, because the way we borrow, lend, save, spend and transfer money is about to change radically if the innovators, entrepreneurs, big thinkers and progressive incumbents focusing on this sector have their way.
In 2017 we find ourselves in the midst of the global re-evaluation of the processes and technologies that support the monetary system. Universally, countries are looking seriously at what needs to be done to update their services and practices for the modern financial age. The drivers behind the shift? New tech (open data, IOT, AI and a host of decentralising technologies), consumer demand and new regulatory environments.
The money is already there. According to one survey, investment in FinTech quadrupled in 2015 to $4.3 billion in Asia-Pacific alone, with global investment growing by 75 percent to $22.3 billion in the same year. The sector itself currently represents a $1 trillion global industry.
And there's a worldwide rush get a piece of it. Hong Kong recently announced initiatives to foster financial innovation within its borders, establishing dedicated FinTech regulatory hubs, FinTech incubators and programmes to bolster its cybersecurity. Similarly, the UK recently announced its goal to become a "global capital of FinTech", as did Singapore.
Closer to home, Australia has initiated its own regulatory changes to accommodate its burgeoning FinTech sector, setting up a 'sandbox' system that allows companies six months to test and refine their products without having to obtain a financial services licence. The recent federal budget saw the lowering of licensing costs for FinTech participants and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) has launched an Innovation Hub with a particular focus on helping these startups navigate the country's regulatory system.
Paying up
Kiwis have, historically, been enthusiastic early supporters of new financial thinking – think New Zealand's groundbreaking adoption of EFTPOS and prescience around the equity crowdfunding and P2P regulatory landscape (not to mention rich home-grown FinTech pedigree in the form of Xero, PushPay and PledgeMe, among many others).
Right now, however, we seem to be missing the opportunity before us and that early foray into EFTPOS may be in part to blame. New Zealand has one of the highest levels of electronic payment adoption rates in the world. But other innovative platforms have not had the opportunity to thrive here as they have elsewhere. Simply put, the pain point hasn't been high enough to demand change.
New Zealand's technology export earnings are predicted to surpass dairy by 2025 and FinTech has been identified as the fastest-growing New Zealand technology niche, with increased revenue of 31 percent year-on-year – twice the rate of the overall tech industry. And a comprehensive, government-level strategy to enable new thinking and support new FinTech solutions is the first step.
Pulling purse strings
One thing industry experts agree on is that lessons can be learned from regulators in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia that are already taking deliberate steps to establish themselves as first-in-line FinTech centres.
"We need to have a single-minded approach across government and regulators, existing financial services corporates and startups to fully realise the opportunity," says David Boyes, the chief technology transformation officer at Kiwibank. "Estonia, Israel and Finland are examples of smaller countries that have already become global leaders through this approach."
Boyes says New Zealand's opportunity lies in bringing both FinTech talent and investment dollars here, something only possible with a coordinated effort across government and industry. "Government needs to protect New Zealand citizens and our economy, but also enable a strong marketplace to develop quickly."
Innovators need clear frameworks to work within for a market to develop, says Boyes, to know what they can and can't do and to be supported within the regulatory environment.
"It needs to be as black and white as possible," he says. "And the attitude needs to be about regulating to enable innovation. It's a tough balancing act but those countries that are embracing that challenge are winning. So the opportunity is now to create a business and regulatory environment to dramatically fast-track New Zealand FinTech."
The major challenge facing New Zealand is one of policy.
"The key issue New Zealand faces is the apparent absence of a true strategic approach to FinTech and the financial services sector at government level," says financial services expert Simon Papa. "It's about a lot more than changing legislation."
Bitcoin basics
Simply put, Bitcoin is the world's first decentralised currency.
Technically, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a digital payment system. In practical terms, it's digital coins you can trade over the internet without the need for a bank or other intermediary.
Well, Bitcoins are 'bankless'. Instead of a bank recording all transactions on one centralised ledger, Bitcoin operates via a decentralised ledger – it exists on all users' computers at the same time. That means that no single party can control (or force a fee onto) a payment.
What the internet is to publishing, Bitcoin is to money. It has the power to revolutionise or perhaps destroy the world economy.

Follow the money
Many believe regulation is unable to keep up with technology and, even if it could, legislators rarely have the power to solve issues in their entirety. So how are New Zealand's financial prime movers and spenders, the banks, preparing for a future where thousands of startups are nipping at the heels of the big, well-established behemoths.
By all accounts, with a mix of wariness and excitement. While it's true that New Zealand's established banks are encumbered by their embedded infrastructure – legacy systems that have sometimes been in place for decades – these formerly static institutions are in fact reacting with surprising agility.
Take New Zealand's mobile/internet banking culture, which is light years ahead of other progressive countries such as the Netherlands. So while it's easy to focus on the potential destruction of industries that disruption brings, in this case, the banks have shown that they're willing to embrace new technology when it's expedient and help bring New Zealand into the new FinTech fold.
Compound interest
Last year Kiwibank, Callaghan Innovation and Creative HQ launched the Kiwibank FinTech Accelerator, a Wellington-based initiative designed to fast-track the growth of promising Kiwi FinTech startups (see profiles page 42)
The accelerator has now taken seven digital startups through an intensive 14-week programme, providing mentoring, business education and support to help them successfully prove, build and take their ideas to market. Several of the startups have now launched and are planning their overseas expansion.
The project represents a maturing of the conversation and a new focus on collaboration, says Boyes.
"The future is about banks partnering with, acquiring and eventually becoming FinTech," he says. "The future is highly innovative and customer-centric businesses using technology to reinvent banking. Those [banks] that don't will end up becoming utility providers or worse."
Entrepreneurs have also become aware of the power that collaboration with established players can offer, he says.
"In the last few years there has been a realisation in FinTech that partnership with incumbents can give faster access to large customer pools and incumbents are seeing the advantages of partnering with fast-moving innovators."
Investment advice: Yup, there's an app for that
How would you feel about trusting the management of your investment portfolio to a robot? That's what's on offer as 'robo-advice' starts to look more and more like a viable way of managing investment.
Financial services can be pretty complex products. As banks find new ways to crunch customer data, and as self-learning computers become more refined, many believe that FinTech machines are rapidly becoming capable of making faster, more accurate judgements than human advisors.
This means much lower costs, hyper-personalised service, and the opening of markets to those with less to invest. And it's imagined that, ultimately, you won't even know if you're dealing with a human or a machine.
There's money behind the idea too. Global spending on wealth management initiatives is set to reach US$12 billion by 2019, and that's due mainly to the potential of robo-advice services.
While there are plenty of opinions when it comes to investing, there are no guarantees and markets are not always rational. As a rather skeptical story in the Financial Times said: "By attempting to create technology that emulates humans and then beats them at their own game, this new breed of [AI] fund may simply end up aping all of the worst characteristics of human investors … Computers will have an edge in processing large amounts of economic data, but may struggle with the more qualitative judgments [Warren] Buffett has excelled in such as judging the character of a chief executive or the durability of a brand."

The Blockchain gang
All things considered, the immediate future of the financial mainstream looks as if it belongs to distributed ledger technology and its most well known variation, blockchain.
According to research by UK bank Santander, blockchain technology has the potential to reduce bank costs attributable to cross-border payments, securities trading and regulatory compliance by between $15-20 billion per year by 2022. FinTechs that are focused on blockchain solutions are attracting high levels of investment, and legacy players are already experimenting with the technology that looks set to revolutionise banking, finance and commerce across the board.
So what is it, how does it work and what is its potential?
Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger in which transactions are recorded publicly and cannot be altered retroactively. Put another way, a blockchain is a list of records managed by a peer-to-peer network, and is a way of facilitating secure online transactions without having to trust that transaction to a single centralised party.
"Blockchain can radically reduce financial costs in all sorts of ways," says Mandy Simpson, CEO at cyber security consultancy, Cyber Toa. "Take transferring money between countries, for example, a process where costs are very high. If you do that via Western Union it's going to cost you a small fortune – seven, eight, nine percent of that to send. For migrants who might be sending just a few hundred dollars or less back to their family, that's unacceptable."
But the potential of blockchain technology is far more extensive than that.
"If you want to prove that you knew something at a certain time, you could do that with blockchain," says Simpson. "It can be used to track a product through its lifecycle – food from farm to plate stamped with information about where it's been and how it's been processed. It can be used for digital rights management for artists wanting to manage their own music. It can be used to track diamonds in a way that may eventually drive blood diamonds out of the industry. It's very exciting."
And because blockchain has the potential to change everything, this is why the banks are paying so much attention to it.
"What this technology solves is what I like to call 'digital scarcity'," says Stephen Macaskill, president of Blockchain Association of New Zealand. "When you can copy something into infinity then it has no economic value," he says. "But if you're able to create scarcity, then you're able to give that unit a value. So we can now have digital units that represent things of value. That's something that cryptographers have been trying to solve for the last 40 years."
But that's the just the first step, he says, because this digital token can represent more than just money.
"It can represent data, it can represent things like identity, a social media profile, a stock or a bond or a share in a company, a housing title or a car title, or even something like a vote. And because it's an open ledger that anyone can see and audit, that has a lot of potential."
Although initially wary, the international banking community has started to soften its attitude towards blockchain, appreciating the efficiencies to be gained and the opportunity for improvements to the bottom line. Internationally there are bank-driven pilot tests underway and entire research teams devoted exclusively to developing blockchain solutions.
Futures market
FinTech represents a US$1 trillion marketplace opportunity and there's reason to believe that a wholly new financial services platform model will emerge.
"In the short term some players will be reduced to becoming utility providers," Boyes predicts, "providing financial capital, risk cover and data to those companies that maintain customer relevance by reinventing financial services using digital, data and customer-centric experiences."
And, ultimately, he says decentralised technologies will unleash a wave of opportunity for those that can adapt.
"That disruption will include payments receding into the background as the majority of transactions move to machine-to-machine; wallets becoming the new micro-service; tokens replacing traditional identity services and new companies weaving financial management and wealth into product and service customer experiences across multiple industries."
One thing that seems certain right now is that digital currency – in whatever form it takes – is coming and that makes everything else uncertain.
"It's impossible to know exactly how this will play out, but digital currency will become more popular," says Simpson. "Not just the Bitcoin variety, but digitally issued New Zealand dollars and digitally issued currencies across the world. China has already said that they intend to issue a digital currency of their own and you can expect other major reserve banks to be committing to this too."
Macaskill points to the rise of a new capital markets economy based on digital currencies.
"Right now there are 800 or more digital assets and cryptocurrencies on various blockchains around the world and people are using them to raise funding through initial coin offerings. The interesting thing is that these coins are truly inclusive. Anyone with a smartphone can buy a billionth of a penny of a share off one of these new age business models."
It's that democratic spirit that makes the new technology so powerful, says Macaskill.
"There are three billion people in the world who are unbanked and have easier access to cellphones than they do to traditional bank accounts. Those people can invest in these new projects."
"This new global registry now has something like US$60 billion of market value and it trades 24/7. It crosses borders. It doesn't stop for national holidays. It doesn't stop for disasters."
"I don't know specifically how that's going to affect our traditional capital markets but there's a clear path towards disruption there."
"The only thing certain is that it poses quite a challenge to the status quo." Or, depending on your view, a massive opportunity.
With plastic the preferred method of payment for most transactions and with mobile payments taking off, the question on every FinTech enthusiast's lips is: Is society on the verge of becoming 100 percent cashless?
If it's going to happen anywhere, Sweden, the first European nation to print paper money, is probably the place.
Led by Björn Ulvaeus – yes, the one from ABBA – and bolstered by the country's robust IT infrastructure and progressive temperament, Sweden is now looking seriously at going entirely cash-free. The rationale? To save cost and to pull the rug out from underneath criminals, including tax dodgers, who depend on anonymous and untraceable physical cash to exist. Remove the cash and you remove the black market (or so the thinking goes).
It certainly looks good on paper, although some are concerned about the privacy implications, and the creation of an app called Swish that was created by a consortium of Nordic banks and allows cash to be transferred instantly between accounts without any fees means that millions of locals now use the app to pay for food, bus fares and even church donations.
"One thing that's quite funny is that when you collect these days, there are some who will raise their mobile phone in the air to show that they are giving," Swedish Church spokesman Mats Lagergren told Bloomberg.
The app is now used by over 50 percent of the population and is adding 100,000 users a month, and when surveyed about how Swedes paid for their most recent purchase, only 16 percent said cash in 2016, down from 33 percent in 2012.
But if India's recent attempts to demonetise demonstrate anything – the government withdrew all 500 and 1,000-rupee notes, or 86 percent of the cash in circulation, overnight – it's that the working poor are as vulnerable to strident anti-cash policies as any black market criminal.
93 percent of the country worked 'off-the-books', so to speak, so in India the move quickly devolved into a financial emergency with small businesses struggling to stay afloat, staggering queues at ATMs and even reports of suicides and murder. Despite this pain, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was voted back in in the recent elections, with many saying it was necessary to help deal with the country's crippling corruption problems.
In New Zealand, a recent MasterCard survey showed 90 percent of Kiwis used a card as their main payment method and 41 percent of consumers said they could live without cash in just a few years' time. Half of those surveyed didn't think we will be using cash in ten years.
When it came to the types of payment technology likely to take off, 59 percent said mobile payments, 47 percent said wearable technology like smartwatches and 42 percent said biometrics such as facial recognition and fingerprints.

Your courses:
Jessica, 22, always wanted to do childcare as she has a real connection with children and helped looked after several when she was growing up.
She found the apprenticeship online after she was already employed by Poppies nursery, which is near the centre of Swindon.
Jessica attended the college for her course between January 2015 and May 2016 and is very positive about her experience.
Jessica explains:
Swindon College has been really supportive. I had some personal problems whilst I was doing the course and they allowed me to have more time to do my assignments. The tutors were always very encouraging and even when things went a bit wrong sometimes, they were appreciative of my ideas. They believed in me.
She adds:
I would definitely recommend this college and the fact that it's so central is great. I attended my lessons in the evening, which was perfect for me. If other people are nervous about being in crowds, they should consider going to college in the evening like I did.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A new exhibit at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale explores the tension between Haiti's image abroad and the work of Haitians turning the cameras on themselves.
The exhibit "From Within and Without: The History of Haitian Photography" includes 350 images compiled from 19th century family photos, albums collected by American troops that occupied Haiti, photojournalism by both Haitians and Haitian-Americans, and fine-art images by artists of Haitian descent worldwide.
Curator Edouard Duval-Carrie says the exhibit is rooted in many Haitians' suspicion of cameras and the way their country is portrayed in mainstream media. He says he wanted to do a show that would "humanize and complicate the vision of Haiti."
The exhibit fills in Haiti's history between Haiti's independence in 1804 and news images since the 1980s.

Remember when helmets were taboo? It wasn't too long ago. Anyone wearing a helmet on the slopes who was skiing or riding recreationally was looked at kind of funny. But with the advent of the park, and many snow stars going "mainstream" if you will, helmets have become the norm.
I find there's a similar parallel with bikes; look back 10 years, and no-one wore helmets. Now it's perfectly acceptable and normal.
But anyway. I just came across a really interesting report from the Canadian Ski Council. In it, the Council reports that helmet usage – especially among youth – is up significantly over the past four years.
According to the report:
"… usage has increased from 67% of all skiers and riders in 2006 to 71% in 2010. This is significantly higher than in the US, where reports found that 57% of skiers and riders wore helmets in 2010."
The report has a couple of really interesting caveats, though. For example, usage in the 35-44 age bracket did not increase. Moreover, Ontario and British Columbia have the dubious honour of least usage, with 67% and 66% usage respectively. The keener province? New Brunswick, with 95% usage. Wow.
I was just out snow boarding yesterday and I was is total shock at how few kids had on helmets
"I ride a Specialized Epic with bicycle trailer and kid in tow"
I've been wearing a helmet since the past few years and I'm left wondering why I didn't switch over sooner. Had a pretty bad fall last time I went boarding and I whacked my head on an icy patch. My helmet cracked, but without it it might have been my head!
I agree with Alex, started wearing a helmet this year and don't mind it any more…not sure why I never put the bucket on before

All four of my loaves are a honey white bread for the base. I am going to show all four on here but I really think that like the quick bread post each bread needs its own time. I used different techniques and different breads for each bread, so if you really like how one sounds you might have to come back in a few days for the actual recipe.
I started by making the dough and letting it rise in my warm kitchen. You can see that it was a monster after 2 hours of sitting in the bowl (that is my largest bowl from Tupperware). And you can also see that just as I was going to grab my camera to get a picture of the glorious rise, my husband poked his thumb around the entire thing.
I decided to do a four strand braid for my first loaf because it looked fairly easy to do, easier than the six strand, and I was going to save the three strand for the breads that had fillings. I divided the dough into fourths and rolled out each ball so that the center of each rope was a bit fatter than both ends.
Once all four ropes are rolled out you position them and pinch one end of each of the four strands together. It sure is nice to have pictures, huh. Sometimes you just can't figure out how to word stuff so other people know what you are talking about. After you pinch the ends together, you begin braiding. I did the method Ruth shared of "farthest left strand goes over, then under, then over" etc. I kept chanting that as I braided to make sure I was going under and over when I was supposed to. It was really easy to do and before I knew it I had a beautifully braided loaf.

The "News is Coming" grant will create a new kind of local newspaper, one using new technology to communicate across social fault lines of language, race, class and age. It is expected from the project that it will produce a more vigorous local dialogue, a community true in conversation with itself.
Through Highway Africa, editors throughout the continent will learn of this new open source software (NiKA CMS) being pioneered by Rhodes University between the Journalism Department and the Computer Science Department. Several will want to try it.
Ultimately, it is hoped that a more representative, shared and participatory "public space" will result in better, more democratic decision-making in the communities that we are able to get telephone and newspapers to do new things together.

STOCKTON - One out of five private drinking-water wells in the United States contains at least one contaminant that exceeds public health standards, and wells in the San Joaquin Valley are no exception, according to new research from the U.S. Geological Survey.
STOCKTON - One out of five private drinking-water wells in the United States contains at least one contaminant that exceeds public health standards, and wells in the San Joaquin Valley are no exception, according to new research from the U.S. Geological Survey.
Private wells that typically provide water for homes in rural areas are not regulated as strictly as public water systems, leaving the responsibility for clean water to the property owner.
The far-reaching study, which included sampling of 2,100 wells over a period of 13 years, shows that "a large number of people may be unknowingly affected" by contamination, said Matt Larsen, USGS associate director for water.
"Certainly, if you have a private well, ... you should be concerned about the quality of the water from your well, and you should have it tested," added Leslie DeSimone, who headed the study. "Contaminants can occur even if your well is in an area that doesn't seem vulnerable" to pollution.
Most of the contaminants in wells come from natural geologic sources, with the exception of nitrate, a nutrient prevalent in agricultural areas.
Of the 57 Central Valley wells tested, 10.5 percent registered nitrate levels higher than health standards. Exposure to nitrate can cause the blood to transport less oxygen, a dangerous or deadly condition for infants.
Fertilizer, livestock and septic systems all can increase the amount of nitrate found in groundwater.
Laurie Kotulla, assistant director of the county's Environmental Health Department, said local officials are "fairly confident" that water quality in private wells is good. The county issues permits for new wells and well replacements; about 3,500 such permits have been issued since 1993, she said.
In areas where nitrate is known to be a problem, the county requires wells be drilled deeper, Kotulla said. However, there may be decades-old wells that are shallow and as a result have higher levels of contamination.
"Our current ordinance doesn't require private well owners to sample," she said. "We certainly do recommend it."
Mel Lytle, water resources coordinator for the county, said officials hope to fund additional studies to remedy the nitrate problem.
Other common contaminants in the area include trace elements arsenic, boron and uranium, which can pose a range of health issues such as increased risk of cancer, problems with the circulatory system or reproductive and developmental effects.
The study also showed that the Central Valley wells were more likely than other areas to see a mixture of multiple contaminants; these mixtures are sometimes more toxic, according to the USGS research.
Of course, how dangerous these contaminants really are depends also on the length of time that one is exposed to them.
The exact locations of the wells checked by USGS were not disclosed. DeSimone said 27 wells were in the Sacramento Valley, and 30 wells were in the San Joaquin Valley.

EFF's appeal of suspension of members from Parliament to be heard: EFF National Spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi confirmed that the case was currently being heard before the Western Cape High Court this afternoon after Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng ordered that the case be heard by that court.
The National Assembly voted 3 weeks ago to suspend EFF MPs for their role in chanting "pay back the money" to President Jacob Zuma during an August sitting.
The EFF had claimed that Western Cape President Judge Hlophe had told the party's attorney that he would not allow for that case to be heard. Speaking to the issue of Judge Hlophe's remarks EFF National Spokesperson, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi responded :
The matter of Judge Hlophe we will be taking it on separately and we will keep the public posted because it's something we can't let go. We can't be harrased by ANC in Parliament and also harrassed by it's deployees within the judiciary, so we will definitely be following it up and we will keep everybody posted. As for now we are challenging that we are being suspended illegally by Parliament.— National Spokesperson of the EFF, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi
Ndlozi also explained that the suspension was illegal because the party only began the chant of "pay back the money" during recess, which is why it was illegal.
Listen to Ndlozi brief Stephen about the way forward for the EFF here:
Save OUR SABC Coalition calls for a new SABC COO : The 'Save Our SABC Coalition' has called for the SABC board to take action against Chief Operating Officer (COO) Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
He is yet to answer to the Public Protector's report, after allegedly lying on his CV. Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's report, released earlier this year, found Motsoeneng lied about having a matric and gave himself massive salary hikes while purging senior staff.
In October, the Western Cape High Court the board to suspend Motsoeneng, pending a disciplinary process.
SOS Coalition Spokesperson spoke to 702 and Cape Talk stating that "there is a clear evidence of a relationship between Mr Motsoeneng, the President and the ANC. A public broadcaster belonging to the public should show us a variety of views".
The SOS Coalition is calling for the report from the Public Protector's Office not to be ignored:
Our firm view is that Professor Magube must ensure the full implementation of the Public Protector's recommendations ... Our role is to put further pressure on the issue of the Public Protector's report, the SABC has not made a formal response to that report— Save Our SABC Coalition Spokesperson, Seketloane Phamodi
Catch Stephen's conversation with Phamodi here:
Public Protector finds City of Johannesburg guilty of maladministration: The Public Protector's Office found the City of Johannesburg guilty of maladministration for failing to cut power and water to an illegally occupied building and then wrongfully billing the owner which led to the business going bankrupt.
Advocate Madonsela's office has ordered the city to apologise to the owners of the building and to find a way to evaluate the buildings and buy them, so that the city would house the illegal inhabitants and not the business owners.
EWN's Barry Bateman is on the story and reports that the young businessmen had approached the City to evict and cut off water and electricity to the illegal tenants in the building belonging to the couple.
In this particular case part of the problem was that there was a local Councillor who was encouraging people to go occupy this particular building. So part of her findings was that this Councillor must be taken to task as well. When it comes down to it, the people aren't doing their job where they're supposed to be doing inside the City of Johannesburg.— EWN Reporter, Barry Bateman
