I Am Cait, Caitlyn Jenner's E! Docuseries, Renewed for Season Two
The show will return in 2016.
E! has officially renewed Caitlyn Jenner's I Am Cait for a second season, the network confirmed Thursday. The news comes after other outlets prematurely reported the show's return when negotiations were still ongoing last month. Despite a dip in its ratings following the premiere, E! will continue to give Jenner a platform to document her gender transition and advocate for transgender rights, as she did throughout the show's first season. Season two is expected to premiere in 2016. Here's hoping we see more of Esther!

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State has denied reports of a rift within its fold.
This clarification was made during a meeting of the 21 Local Government Chairmen of the Party and members of the State Working Committee at the APC secretariat in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
Leaders of the party also passed a vote of confidence in the administration of Governor Bindow Jibrilla and President Muhammadu Buhari.
The state Chairman of the Party, Ibrahim Bilal warned party members against heating up the polity by organising meetings in Abuja to endorse candidates.
"We want to assure everyone that there is no split or any crises in the state chapter of the party or even at the national level for that matter. We in APC are working hand in hand with our elected officials from the president to our local government councilors.
"If there is any problem between us and the presidency or between us and the state government, then we can say we have a crises situation but there is no such problem anywhere. You can see some people are organizing meetings in Abuja and making all sorts of unofficial comments," Bilal said.
Some of the stakeholders of the party including the party Vice Chairman, Adamawa North, Abdullahi Mohammed including the State Organising Secretary of the party, Ahmed Lawan also express their views at the meeting.
The party called on those making uncomplimentary comments and endorsing aspirants to desist forthwith and not jump the gun since political campaigns are yet to commence

Mining Lawyer Jacinto Rocha
Photo by: Duane Daws
This opinion piece on the issues around South Africa's new Reviewed Mining Charter was written by mining lawyer Jacinto Rocha.
On June 15, 2017, the Mineral Resources Minister announced to South Africa and the whole world the birth of the Reviewed Broad-Based Economic Empowerment Charter for the Mining Industry – the Revolutionary Mining Charter. Unfortunately, the Minister failed to notice that due to complications during the birth process, the Mining Charter was born dead.
The Minister must, however, be commended for having drafted a Revolutionary Mining Charter (RMC) which is easy to read. Unfortunately, the praise ends here.
The RMC owes both its existence and authority to the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) and its validity must also be tested through the prism of our Constitution. Therefore, the RMC whether policy or delegated legislation must be intra vires the MPRDA and the Constitution.
It must also be aligned to the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Act, 2003, which requires that organs of State apply the codes issued in terms of that Act when "…determining qualification criteria for issuing licences…in respect of economic activity in terms of any law".
The BBBEE Act, read with the Guidelines for Developing and Gazetting Sector Codes (Transformation Charters), lays out the consultation process organs of State must follow when developing sector codes or transformation charters.
It is my well-considered professional opinion that the RMC in its current form is irrational, discriminatory, paternalistic, unlawful and unconstitutional. For the purpose of this article I will confine the analysis mostly to the ownership element of the RMC. Suffice to say that the "numerical targets" for employment equity and procurements are quotas.
In the SA Police Service v Solidarity our Constitutional Court stated that " …. irrational conduct in implementing a lawful project attracts unlawfulness. Therefore, implementation of corrective measures must be rational." As such for the RMC to be rational, there must be a rational nexus between its objective and the policy or regulatory means it employs to achieve those objectives.
Some people are of the erroneous impression that the RMC will open the floodgates of new opportunities for black persons. The reality is, it will not.
The RMC, decrees that by no later than June 14, 2018, "[A]n existing holder…who has maintained a minimum of 26% black person shareholding…" must "…top up its black person shareholding to 30%". However, the said top-up must be in favour of the existing "BEE partners" – no new entrants.
While the RMC pledges to "provide for policy and regulatory certainty" the very RMC sabotages this commitment by requiring, for example, that an existing empowered company, irrespective of the level of empowerment, must when applying for a new mining right have 30% black persons shareholding whereas when it applies for a new prospecting right it must have 50% +1 black shareholding.
Confused? It gets even more perplexing in that, when the new prospecting right is converted into a new mining right, the black person's shareholding is reduced to not less than 30%. Now, if black persons can only transfer shares to another black person where does the 20% +1 go? Where is the policy and regulatory certainty?
Furthermore, consider for a moment the requirement for 50% +1 black persons shareholding for new prospecting rights. When judged against the objective reality that risk funding originates from stock exchanges in foreign jurisdictions and the fact South African banks and development finance institutions do not engage in risk funding, how are black persons going to fund their prospecting activities? Is this rational?
Our Constitution declares that "South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity". This is further echoed in the ANC's own Freedom Charter which equally affirms that "South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.."
The Mining Rights Act, 1967, enacted and repealed by the apartheid government, prohibited, although with some exceptions, the issuing of prospecting permits to companies where a coloured person held a controlling interest or to companies where 'Bantus' held shares. Our Constitution and the new South African ethos detest and abhor discrimination on enumerated grounds, including as regards race.
However, 25 years after the repeal of the Mining Rights Act, 1967 the RMC has resurrected that racist provision – in this instance no new prospecting rights will be granted to companies where a white person holds a controlling interest. As the saying goes "those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Why is the RMC paternalistic? Since "history is a good teacher" our recent colonial and apartheid past reminds us that the Native Land and Trust Act, 1936 empowered the South African Development Trust to hold land in trust for black people. Today, the RMC empowers the nebulous Mining Transformation and Development Agency, as prescribed in the new charter, to hold shares in trust for mine communities. South African governments, past and present, have always had the desire to manage black peoples' assets on their behalf.
It is fundamental to our constitutional order that Ministers "… may exercise no power and perform no function beyond that conferred upon them by law". The MPRDA empowers the Minister to develop "a broad-based socio-economic empowerment charter within 6 months from the date" that the MPRDA came into effect. It is now 4 and 13 years, respectively, since the MPRD Amendment Act, 2008 and the MPRDA, 2002 came into effect. Therefore, even if regard is had to the Interpretation Act, 1957, the Mining Charter, 2002 is the only valid and enforceable Mining Charter.
Even if the Minister were to claim that the RMC is government policy, such policy must still be consistent with the Constitution, the MPRDA and others laws.
Lastly, although the Minister is an MP, he, in his capacity as member of the executive branch of government, does not have the power to pass legislation - such authority is in terms of our Constitution vested in Parliament.
The fact that the RMC is irrational, discriminatory and unlawful renders it unconstitutional.
Jacinto Rocha is a Mining Lawyer and Senior Lecturer (Honorary) at Wits University. He teaches Mineral Policy and Investment and Prospecting and Mining Law.

We already know that Microsoft has tremendous pull with OEMs that depend on their partnership. In addition, OEMs will indeed offer up what they believe is going to yield the least amount of support calls possible.
This support idea adds weight to my Secure Boot disabled once per boot up theory. In the end, the OEMs aren't being flooded with support calls because of problems stemming from forgetting to reactivate Secure Boot.
And Microsoft offers a real blow both to malware on their OS in addition to slowing down Linux adoption on affected PC hardware.
The only losers here are Linux enthusiasts looking to see greater adoption.
What can Linux users do?
I should point out that Red Hat, among others, will be challenging any OEMs trying to offer Secure Boot without a long-term disable function. Yet at the same time, I think we can take this as an opportunity to stop purchasing the cheapest computers possible.
Instead, how about if Linux users buy from smaller PC vendors? The reason being that the "big guys" will be among those OEMs looking to save as much money as possible. And let's be honest, leaving out a decent disable feature for Secure Boot could be a small bit of savings per motherboard in each new computer.
For years, I've advocated the importance of not buying from the big-named PC vendors due to them offering a lousy product bundled with even worse customer service. Now imagine my surprise when the news of Secure Boot came out!
Clearly, we're in for some nail-biting as we wait to see how the OEM PC sellers handle Secure Boot and customer choice.
Looking at the larger picture
I'd like to suggest to any naysayers the following consideration: Remember what a hassle it used to be to find non-Windows PCs? I don't mean building your own, I'm talking about locating computers without Windows already installed.
This was a big deal in the early days of Linux on the desktop. Fast forward to now, this is what I see potentially happening all over again. The difference being that this time, existing computers might be "locked down" to where they accommodate Windows 8 installations only.
Think of it this way. What if this entire issue spreads beyond just PC OEMs? What happens when motherboard manufacturers also begin limiting users by not providing an off switch for Secure Boot? Do we wait around and hope that there will be a magic "off switch" for this new Microsoft feature once enough of us complain?
Sadly, though, our options are limited at this stage in Windows 8 development. The best we can do at this point is to watch related events closely, support articles that call this push to OEMs into question and hope that those OEMs that are reading about our concerns take notice.
Despite our numbers being less than the Windows-using masses, I'd like to think that OEMs aren't too interested in losing Linux enthusiasts as customers altogether. We may not have incredible numbers, however, I think we might just surprise the industry with our wish to be heard.

he history of the video game-to-film adaptation is almost too brief to comment on, but we've certainly come a long way since the days of "Super Mario Bros." and Dennis Hopper's tacky dinosaur transformation. If you really think about it, the sudden turnaround in the genre is all thanks to "Resident Evil." It was the first to successfully translate a game into a movie, so it makes since that the studio behind "Doom" would be so keen to emulate it as much as possible. It also helps that both stories are so much alike, because if this is any indication of where the video game genre is going, the future looks bright.
Now for the bad news: "Doom" is a great video game movie, but it is by no means a great movie. With that said, this is definitely a film that fans of the series are going to love, even if the original story hasn't exactly been preserved. Instead of the gates of Hell being opened to the human world for demons to wreak havoc on, the monsters are a result of a science project gone wrong located on Mars. Some overly complex information about a bioengineered super-chromosome is also mentioned sometime during the course of the movie, but that's not important, is it? All that matters is that big, ugly monsters are running wild on a space station, and a group of Marines (complete with witty codenames) have been sent in to take them down.
Dwayne Johnson may get top billing as Sarge, the badass leader of the group, but it's John Grimm (Karl Urban) who is the real hero of the story since he's the closest tie to the original game. Grimm isn't without a fancy codename, either, and is nicknamed Reaper because, well, his last name is Grimm. In fact, this is one of many references to Hell in the script, which is curious since the whole Hell on Earth plotline was dumped in favor of a slightly less corny setup. Still, despite the silly name-calling and the disregard for any real military strategy (who honestly sends one guy out on his own and expects him to come back?), "Doom" has its moments.
By far the most enjoyable of the bunch is the big finale, a sequence filmed completely in first-person that showcases John Grimm fighting his way through a horde of familiar demons. Designed to replicate the feeling of playing the game, the high-adrenaline scene had the audience clapping and cheering throughout and was exactly what "Doom" needed to stand out from the pack of all the other sci-fi action movies currently collecting dust at the local Blockbuster. It's not revolutionary by any means, but slather on some butter, sprinkle on a little salt, and enjoy.
Unrated Extended Edition Blu-Ray Review:
The Blu-ray release of "Doom" may just be a carbon copy of the original DVD, but the extras hold up pretty well. Along with an unrated extended cut of the film, the single-disc effort includes a behind-the-scenes look at everything from weapons training with the actors to make-up and creature effects. The highlight of the disc is a 14-minute documentart on the history of the video game ("Doom Nation"), while a brief making-of featurette on the first-person shooter sequence rounds out the set.

text: Many wealthy families hold all or most of their wealth in one highly appreciated security. Sometimes that stock represents a control position in a family company, but more often the holding has resulted from a sale of the family company for stock in a public company. If the sale occurred just prior to a bull market, the family may believe that owning one concentrated security is an excellent way to create significant wealth. This was certainly the case with many families who sold their companies in stock deals during the 1980s and 1990s. Unfortunately, periods like those two decades come along far less than once in a lifetime. The purpose of this white paper is to suggest a commonsense approach to dealing with large, concentrated stock positions, having in mind that there is a difference between a bull market and a sound investment strategy.

Paddle With Sea Turtles in the Wild
Paddling the Jupiter Inlet Aquatic Preserve is never anything short of fantastic. Wildlife is abundant throughout this area, including manatees, rays, and turtles, but even locals and visitors may be unaware of the secret cove where green sea turtles abound. Jupiter Outdoor Center has created a new experience that will practically guarantee guests an unforgettable wildlife adventure. Turtle Time will send guests on a paddle experience to the best spot in town for viewing turtles in their natural habitat. Times are based on the tide and will change from day to day.
"Seeing the turtles was invigorating, i felt one with nature and would absolutely do it again. I advise everyone to experience this."
-Nikki Vorhees, JOC Guest
JOC will direct guests to a secret cove for an hour-long, self-guided, wildlife adventure they won't find anywhere else. The turtles that are often found in the cove can be seen grazing on the beds of Johnson's Sea Grass below. This sea grass can be found throughout South Florida and provides shelter for small creatures and food for green sea turtles and Florida manatees. Green sea turtles are the most common turtle to see on this experience, but hawksbills, loggerheads, and sometimes even leatherbacks are also a possibility. They often swim in multiples and mostly stay outside the channel near the shore, making this adventure ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking. Take out one of our Crystal Kayaks for a truly immersive experience. JOC is now the exclusive provider of these clear kayaks that allow for a view unlike any other. The boat suspends you over the wildlife and reefs, providing the clarity of snorkeling with the convenience of kayaking. Paddle right to the turtles and float swiftly along their path as they move just below the surface. You can snap an up-close shot of one peeking its head out of the water or use an underwater camera to capture an even better image. Turtle Time focuses on the beauty Jupiter has to offer and will surely leave you with a lasting memory. JOC is also pleased to announce a collaboration with Dr. Larry Woods of The National Save the Sea Turtles Foundation to assist in collecting research on these beautiful creatures.
Reserve your spot today!

The House System
All students on arrival at Archie will be allocated to a House. There are six houses in the Academy. These are:
- Rievaulx
- Whitby
- Kirkham
- Byland
- Meaux
- York
All the Houses have a team of staff including a Head of House and a Student Liaison Officer (SLO). These people will play a huge role in supporting each child during the course of their time at the Academy.
The Houses are very competitive and there are challenges and competitions weekly to earn points. Some of these are for routine aspects of Academy life (for example, best attendance, least number of lates, least number of behaviour points) and others are one-off competitions linked to particular foci or themes within the Academy. All students can participate in these challenges to help their House earn points.
Weekly awards are given to the 'top' Houses for routine aspects (as mentioned above). There are also termly prizes for the House with the most points. Recent examples of these prizes have included cinema visits for the winning house and opportunities to go to Big Fun.

The course is designed to focus on one of the most common forms of performance industry employment, but also one of the least explored in Performing Arts courses. There are very few HE organisations that teach the formation and successful implementation of a Touring Theatre Company.
This programme is a selection of primarily level 5 modules that best reflect the requirements of both employment in the professional arts industry and/or progression onto BA Hons Drama, or Drama schools. In each subject area explored, there is a balance of deep practical exploration, underpinned by academic elements of critical analysis, research and theoretical study, but the ultimate emphasis will be to form and function as an actual touring theatre company, creating bespoke pieces of theatre for different types of audience, while forming your own company identity. The aim is to allow the building blocks explored on the course to serve as a launch pad for your company's professional development, upon completion of the course.
The modules are chosen to help prepare graduating students for the most likely destinations they choose to pursue, be that continuing their education, or finding work as a self-employed practitioner of performing arts.
The programme features specialist modules, delivered by staff with a wealth of professional experience in each subject area.
Special Features: Within the scheme, there will be opportunity for the learners to attain a level of professional practice. Strong links to the Creative Industries and the Acting and degree programmes will facilitate industry-related briefs and real scenarios that provide an opportunity for students to acquire professional work ethics, time planning skills and working within a creative team. Learning is supported through a series of contextual visits, including local theatres, a variety of performances and project-specific research trips, which have previously included locations ranging from Port Meirion to Poland.
Guest speakers and workshops with professional practitioners / companies will also be scheduled into the programme.
Performances may take place in a variety of spaces, including studios, a college theatre fully equipped for professional performance, local theatres and arts facilities and site specific locations.
Please note: this course will only run when it has a sufficient number of applicants.
This programme will produce graduates skilled in a broad range of specialist areas, progression will be through direct entry into the industry or through further study at post graduate level.
HNC/D in Performing Arts (Touring Theatre)
A Level 3 qualification (A Level or BTEC) in a relevant subject area.

The modules of specialist study include:
Small Scale Touring Theatre – The aim of this unit is to enable learners to participate in small-scale touring productions and to provide the technical and administrative support required to undertake a small-scale tour.
Physical Theatre Performance – This unit will enable learners to develop the skills of physical theatre and contact improvisation by exploring the work of contemporary practitioners and will provide the opportunity to demonstrate this learning in performance.
Popular Entertainment – The aim of this unit is to enable learners to explore the world of popular entertainment and to develop and perform work that is appropriate for this branch of the performing arts.
Outreach Drama – The aim of this unit is to enable learners to develop and perform in outreach drama projects designed to raise and answer questions to help improve the society we live in.
Site Specific Performance – This unit enables learners to gain an understanding of the nature of site-specific performance from a theoretical perspective and as a performance practice.
Theatre Directing - The aim of this unit is to enable learners to understand the role of the theatre director in the realisation of performance and to explore the history of directing as well as contemporary methods and approaches.
Research Project – This module teaches research methods from a variety of topic specific primary and secondary sources, with accumulation, calculation and evaluation of information and data, through examples of qualitative and quantative research. Topics will be chosen in relation to the Project Design module (see below) to allow for academic and experiential learning, to directly inform a professional performance, with several fundamental strata of contributing research.
Project Design, Implementation and Evaluation – the final performance project, directly linked to the research module, which will also fully reflect the culmination of the progress in the programme as a whole. The HNC student group will be expected to function as a small scale, ensemble theatre company, presenting a full length, collaborative piece of original theatre, to be performed in front of a full audience, in a professional environment, outside of the college. The group members will assume full responsibility for the planning, designing, marketing and delivery of the professional standard project.
Extra-Curricular activities/opportunities – There will be many opportunities to engage in practical and professional work through strong links with the local creative arts hub, which include links with local theatres, arts organisations, guest practitioners and working professionals.
The knowledge and skills acquired on the programme will link directly to the vocational context and will diversify into a range of skills and experience required for further progression to HE study (BA Hons/Drama school), as well as the Performing Arts industries. These will include (but are not exclusive to) creative and conceptual project design and implementation, the self-employed acting profession, small and large scale touring theatre, drama therapy, workshop based education, innovative performance production and business and enterprise competence. Teaching and Learning methods will include formal lectures and seminars which will underpin the creative and technical practical workshop style sessions with relevant theoretical, practitioner, historical and cultural reference. Practical modules will take place in the studio environment with tutor support and guidance and extra independent learning sessions will be timetabled to allow access to the specialist equipment and resources.
Links with outside arts organisations and professionals will allow for a greater range of professional contact and experiential learning.
The programme is assessed through the submission of written essays, evaluations, log books and presentations, as well as a series of project based practical assessments, assessment of workshop and performance practice and a final professional performance project. Formative feedback will support student progression in both written work and practical outcomes. Self and peer assessment in discussion/evaluation/critique situations will be an essential element of all projects and the feedback from these will enhance student achievement and progression.
Assignment briefs will contain a wide range of assessment criteria, which will be achieved through a variety of opportunities and a balance of written and practical assessment components. Practice assignments will often be implemented and students will be kept appraised of working grades through feedback and contact with tutors.

Invisibilia Season 3 - Reality
How is it that two people can look at the same thing and see something completely different? In this episode, we talk to umpires in training, who firmly believe that what they see is what is real. And we visit a small community in Minnesota that has a unique experience with the reality divide: some of the people in the town believe that wild black bears are gentle animals to be fed and befriended, while many others take a more traditional view on the human-bear relationship. Then we meet a young man who is taking extraordinary steps to break out of his own reality bubble.

New single and video 'A Fistful O' Roses' in protest at Sydney's lock out laws
The Rumjacks unveil their first new music in more than a year with the release of brand new single, 'A Fistful O' Roses'. The song is an emphatic statement about the band's view of Sydney's new lock out laws and features a powerful music video directed by Josh Groom, which shows the band taking over a bar for a metaphoric wake with an arresting live performance.
Frankie: "We've written many a song about our hometown of Sydney, and 'A Fistful O' Roses' is yet another, though this one was created beneath a very dark cloud and a sorely difficult time for our beloved city.
An agenda of sweeping law reforms and increasingly heavy tactics by our state government have crushed the city's nightlife, the livelihood, and in many cases even the lives of many of its inhabitants. Iconic pubs, bars and restaurants are forced to close their doors, elderly residents are driven from their homes and Sydney is growing more desperate and hostile with every passing day.
This is a city under siege by those who rule her, set to become a playground for the elite, while the people who made it the treasure it was are squeezed out to wherever they hell they may venture.
We performed the video for the song as a macabre 'dry wake', set among the decay, in a derelict pub, one of many to fall victim to the states new order.
Historic footage flits across the screen like memories of a life flashing before one's eyes. 'A Fistful O' Roses' is one last great send-off for the old girl, but make no mistake.. ..this is a band falling very much out of love with its muse."
The band has departed Sydney and embarked on a four-month UK and European tour, showcasing this new single plus songs from their much loved album releases.

As a Rayovac Power Blogger, I am compensated for my time and effort however all opinions remain 100% mine.
If you don't live in New Orleans, July probably means summer picnics, family reunions and relaxing vacations. But to NOLA natives, July means it is time to buckle down and prepare for Hurricane Season. While we all know to stock up on canned goods, bottled water and plywood to board our windows. But in the digital age, we need to think about how to power up when the power is down.
Check out the video below to learn about the one product under $15 every New Orleanian should add to their emergency preparedness kit, the new Rayovac 7 Hour Power!

5G: The Future is now (kind of)!
Mobile networks constantly innovate. In the 1980s, when wireless technology began to go mainstream, the 1G analog networks supported the bulky, brick-like mobile phones from that era. The 90s saw the introduction of 2G digital networks, when Code Division Multiple Access moved mobile phones beyond voice transmission into data and text messaging. Around 2001, third generation (3G) devices appeared, first in Japan, and then in the US, offering the high-speed data transfer and Internet connection used in the earliest smartphones. The first 4G LTE appeared in 2011.
But what is 3G and 4G service? Why has the advent of 5G networks caused such a stir?
3G service allowed users for the first time to utilize high-speed internet using a smartphone. Users could for the first time:
- Download music, pictures and games up to 10 times faster than previous network capabilities
- Quickly access social networks, news, sport, and weather
- Stream music and videos
- Use applications to personal and professional needs
- Upload and share photos and videos quickly
The transition from 2G to 3G was a massive leap in capability only comparable to the leap between 3G and 4G. 4G phones built on the innovations of the 3G phone. Approximately speaking, 4G is around five times faster than existing 3G services.
The main reason 4G is faster than 3G is because of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing. It sounds complicated, but it's the same technology used in Wi-Fi, ADSL broadband, digital TV, and radio.
OFDM is a technique for squeezing more data onto the same amount of radio frequency. It also reduces latency and interference. Data is split up and sent via small chunks of frequency in parallel, therefore increasing the capacity of the network. Multiple-input and multiple-output, or MIMO, is another reason 4G is able to provide faster speeds. It is simply the use of multiple antenna arrays at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance.
This allows more data to be transferred without requiring additional bandwidth or drawing more power. 3G provided innovation in the world of smartphones, but 4G refined the technology to an unbelievable level.
Given the natural decade-long development cycle, fifth generation (5G) networks are due around 2021. But South Korea, the world's most prolific adaptor of mobile technology, is pushing the limits of the science and plans to roll out a 5G network as early as 2017, with full availability by 2020. What does this technological push mean for savvy smartphone users?
Well, no one really knows at this point what 5G will actually look like because no standards have been formalized. Mobile communication occupies a relatively small frequency spectrum, between 600 MHz and 3 GHz, which means that 5G technology needs to improve the efficiency of the usable spectrum. In Seoul, South Korea, home of the fastest Internet speeds in the world, you can download an 800-megabyte movie in just 40 seconds on their advanced 4G networks. In comparison, if T-Mobile adopted 5G technology in the US, for example, that time would decrease to an astonishing one second for an entire movie download.
Right now, there are no 5G phones and devices to use the new technology, although manufacturers like Samsung, LG, and HTC are experimenting with new designs. No one knows for sure what features a 5G phone or device will have. While the specifics are unclear, the 5G concept is staggering. Once implemented worldwide, mobile industry experts say the network will have space for over 7 trillion connected devices in the coming decade—and each individual will have at least 10 connections, including smartphones, tablets, and smart appliances.

Construction of the biggest project in our 100 year history moved a step closer as the first pipes for the Melbourne to Geelong Pipeline were delivered to Geelong.
The 59 kilometre pipeline will link Barwon Water's Lovely Banks basins with the Melbourne network at Cowies Hill near Werribee.
It headlines a $900 million investment in water and sewerage infrastructure over the next 5 years, and is among key projects that will boost Geelong's supply by 75% of current demand and meet forecast growth.
The fibreglass pipes are 800 millimetres in diameter and 12 metres long, and are supplied under contract by South Australian manufacturer, Fibrelogic.
The construction contract for the pipeline has been awarded to Australian construction company, Abigroup.
Construction is due to begin in September 2010, and the project is expected to create around 200 jobs.

Fall 2014 Blog – Post # 12
Nov 13 Good Endings
Do you remember a time when a book you were reading created so much uncertainty and/or curiosity that you actually turned to the last few pages to see how it was going to end? Well, we don't get to do that in leading our team through a season. We do however, have many "ending" opportunities to capitalize on, and this week I want to point those out for your consideration.
Here are a few examples:
- EACH RALLY – What does your team do at the end of each rally you win? Do they celebrate winning rallies from an ace or attack termination differently, and if so, was that planned or spontaneous? What about the rallies you lose? Was thought and direction given on some mode of operation where the players would stay connected when the opponent picked up a point?
- EACH TIME-OUT – If the main purpose for the team calling the time-out is to stem the tide for a run of points on the other side of the scoreboard, or simply to make an adjustment, how do we end it? Do we sense the player caught in the midst of a self-confidence battle due to some unforced errors, and perhaps address them individually, or are all the comments, all the time directed to (or at) the entire group? Do you have a traditional cheer you use, and if so, does the tradition mean something?
- EACH SET – Does our body language change when we win and lose? Do we slap hands with the players coming off the court regardless of the outcome? Do we have statistics readily available to share, and do we share them win or lose? Are the results of that last set discussed in connection to performance objectives that have been clearly outlined? (acceptable ace/error serving ratio, acceptable kills/error attack ratio, or our targeted goal for team pass rating – just to name a few)
- EACH MATCH – How about …..OK, I've asked enough questions, although I strongly considered using the Socratic method of questioning for the entire blog this week. Instead, I will share…YES, another story. This one is about how a match ended, which resulted in a change in how my teams ended matches every time from that day forward. You could say I had an epiphany (from Merriam-Webster "a moment in which you suddenly see or understand something in a new or very clear way"). As a result of this experience, and instituting a change in our team's standard operating procedure, I started to discover importance in considering every single question I posed to you above.
Let's go back to the early to mid-90's, with our men's team hosting a mid-season tournament. Largely due to some worthwhile discussion at the previous year's annual meeting of all the teams in our regional association, we utilized an unusual format. Weeks prior to the event, all coaches were polled in an attempt to get teams the opportunity to be guaranteed a few match-ups with opponents they would not otherwise have during that season. In a few cases, including our own, a few of the initial Friday evening pairings, might otherwise have been the typical Tournament Championship the next day. The team we matched up with on that evening was part of a healthy rivalry with us even before I played at my alma mater for the inimitable Tom Hay. This match lasted nearly three hours in the old point scoring system, and was extremely close throughout, before we ended up losing by two in the fifth. As I finished shaking hands with the opposing coach, while already considering what I was going to say to the team, I turned around to head to our end line, and had the EPIPHANY. At that moment, what I saw was the word SPRINGFIELD everywhere I looked. Why? All I could see was the back of our jerseys, literally walking away from the court in every direction. I spun around in the exact spot where I was standing for a 360 degree view of an obviously very disappointed group walking away from each other.
It's not like we did not have the expectation of coming together on the end line, but the truth is we won a lot more then we lost, and I know our written team expectations at that time did not state for the record, that "we will come together on the end line at the conclusion of each match, no exceptions".
I candidly don't remember how I handled things in that "moment of clarity". I think I shouted in all directions to get back here and get together, or maybe I sent a few of the closest players to me after the rest of the guys. I do know what happened in officially re-defining how we handled this moving forward. Those who watched both our women's and men's teams for the last fifteen years I coached would see our team always come together on the end line, and if you watched closely with a timer in hand, our gathering lasted two minutes or less (regardless of the outcome). I had my reasons for that, and you can email me if you want more of an explanation, because the biggest purpose in sharing this and other stories is not to tell any coach what I think you should do, but rather, to push you to think about what you are doing, and to consider the effectiveness.
Two weeks ago, we spent time together on the topic of SENIORS, and the good ending we planned for their final home match. When I wrap up this series in three weeks, the topic will be BANQUET, and that is obviously another "good ending" opportunity. This week, I want to suggest that routines, team protocol, standard operating procedures, and all forms of team guidelines are well worth carving out some time to think about. I tend to start at the end of things and work my way back – I guess it is the visionary part of me. This process helps me to have a clear view of what I want something to look like, and then consider what it will take to make that picture a reality. I do think that over time, I recognized time and again that young people really do benefit from structure, and in fact, many really want it.
Sometimes it helps in potentially explosive group dynamic settings to have clear boundaries and expectations in place. I think as coaches we do that both informally and formally. Perhaps you will be challenged to go back to the start of this week's blog and consider the short list of "ending opportunities" I started for you and add some of your own. Here's a few more ….how do you end each practice, each tournament, each bus trip ? Maybe just use the Keep – Start – Stop method of evaluation. What should you keep doing, start doing, or stop doing?
Many of you are now raking leaves in the afternoon instead of running practices. I always
enjoyed some mindless activities like that at the end of a long season, but often found myself using those hours thinking about topics like today's theme, and maybe you will too.

Paluma village is located about 60 kms north of Townsville on the Mt Spec road which traverses the spectacular Paluma range. The route takes you past Little Crystal Creek, a scenic spot with a beautiful waterfall and picnic area. The Mt Spec road which turns off the Bruce Highway just north of Rollingstone is steep, narrow and winding and not recommended for caravans.
Lake Paluma
This man made lake that supplies water to Townsville is approximately 15 kms from Paluma down a dirt track that can be closed after heavy rain. In fact on our second attempt to photograph the Golden Bowerbird at Birthday Creek, our path was blocked due to a fallen tree across the track. There is an excellent camping ground with unpowered sites situated on the edge of the lake. The area is managed by Townsville Water, with the sites requiring prebooking and payment. Without moving too far from our camping spot I was able to photograph Grey-headed Robin, Bridled Honeyeater, Yellow-throated Scrubwren, Macleay's Honeyeater and Tooth-billed Bowerbird. Unfortunately like many areas on this trip our stay was cut short by unseasonably heavy rain.Map of the lake.
Birthday Creek walk.This short 500 metre walk down to the waterfall is one of the best spots to find Golden and Tooth-billed Bowerbirds, with active bowers present in the area. If ever you wanted to see why the common name of the Tooth-billed Bowerbird is the "Stage Master", this is the place to see it with the unique stages created by the bowerbird easily seen. In fact there was an active bower adjacent to the car park. Access to the track is 6.8km down the Paluma Lake access road. Golden Bowerbird Image
Walks Around Paluma
McClellands lookout-- 300 metres return. The signposted access is just east of Paluma village turn off Mount Spec Road.
Witts Lookout-- 3 kms return. This track makes its way through the rainforest before entering open forest to the lookout. Access is 200 metres beyond the McClellands lookout.
Cloudy Creek Falls-- 6 kms return. This track is the hardest of the tracks around Paluma because of the return grades. It drops down and follows a series of small waterfalls along Cloudy Creek. Access is the same as Witts lookout with the track bearing to the left.
Paluma rainforest walk—700 metres . This small circuit walk is a good introduction to the rainforest. The track starts opposite the Paluma town hall.
The "H" Track-- 1.1 km. This circuit track can be accessed from either the end of Lennox Cresent or the back of Whalley Crescent in Paluma village. We found this rainforest track to be an excellent quick walk with Chowchilla, Noisy Pitta and Tooth-billed Bowerbird easily located.
Photographic Considerations
I had read several articles on Paluma sourced fromBirding-Ausprior to our visit and was therefore looking foward to photographing some unique North Queensland and high alttitude birds. For once the the reality more than lived up to the expectations with a great variety of species seen. I would strongly suggest taking some of the walks around the village. Both the Chowchilla and Noisy Pitta were photographed in the village area. With the exception of the roadsides and lake edges, most images will be taken within darker areas of the rainforest with flash a necessity. The only drawback to our two visits were that on both occasions the stays were shortened due to the unseasonable wet weather. I guess that is what you would expect in the wet tropics.
During our walk around the village we noticed that theRainforest Innhad a feeder that was being visited by a number of honeyeater species. There are also several other locals who feed the birds, so keep a look out for opportunities.

1. The Spirit, oh, sinner,
In mercy doth move,
Thy heart, so long hardened,
Of sin to reprove;
Resist not the Spirit,
Nor longer delay;
God's gracious entreaties,
May end with today.
2. Oh, child of the kingdom,
From sin service cease:
Be filled with the Spirit,
With comfort and peace.
Oh, grieve not the Spirit,
Thy Teacher is He,
That Jesus, Thy Savior,
May glorified be.
3. Defiled is the temple,
Its beauty laid low,
On God's holy altar
The embers faint glow.
By love yet rekindled,
A flame may be fanned;
Oh, quench not the Spirit,
The Lord is at hand.

Hello! Once a month I recommend some of the latest and greatest books being published for girls. Every May at New Moon, we publish our Girls Are Beautiful As Themselves special issue of the magazine. This issue started in 1999 to counteract the message of People Magazine's annual "50 Most Beautiful People," which focuses purely on appearance.
On the other hand, at NMG we know that girls are beautiful as themselves. So our special issue features girls and who they are on the INSIDE — beauty shines through their personality and actions just like yours does. So this month, I'm highlighting some books that showcase girls whose bravery, determination and uniqueness makes them shine.
- Have you ever had to be the new girl in town? Fitting in can be especially hard when you come from a family of Iranian immigrants just as the revolution in Iran is making headlines in the 1970s. That's what Zomorod is going through in It Ain't So Awful, Falafel by Firoozeh Dumas. So she decides to change her name to "Cindy" in her attempt to start anew — but will her new start let her be who she really is, sense of humor, braininess, loner personality and all?

- Isabel Feeney definitely marches to the beat of her own drum. Not only is she one of the only newsgirls selling papers in 1920s Chicago, but she also dreams of being a reporter and covering the news herself one day.

Things are pretty grim right now on The Walking Dead, even for a show that tortures its audience. Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan has forced Rick Grimes and his group to surrender to the authority of the Saviors, and now Rick has to break the news to the other survivors at Alexandria. Everything they own now belongs to Negan.
Earlier this week, AMC released the first advance look at next Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead, as Negan and his army pulled up in front of Alexandria's gates, much to the surprise of Eugene and Rosita. Now, Entertainment Weekly has posted a second preview scene, which takes place moments later, when Rick arrives to personally greet Negan. Although Rick is clearly not pleased, Negan seems almost happy to see him again before demonstrating his skill with a bat on a nearby walker. If you watch the entire video, you'll see that Negan brought something for Rick as well.
That's right, Daryl is out of his cell for a little field trip back home. This is probably Negan's way of offering proof of life, and it may explain why Daryl wasn't killed after he refused Negan's offer in the previous episode. Holding Daryl hostage is one of the ways that Negan can keep Rick's crew in check. But we'd be shocked if Daryl doesn't try to escape again at some point in the future.
The Walking Dead season 7 will continue this Sunday, November 13.

Treatments for pressure sores in the elderly include repositioning the patient to minimize pressure on the sore, cleaning the area around it and keeping it dry to eliminate the spread of infection, according to WebMD. A physical therapist helps an elderly patient improve his mobility to prevent the incidence of bedsores, explains Mayo Clinic.Continue Reading
Management of urinary incontinence lowers the risk of infection. Treatment strategies include scheduling the elderly patient's urination, increasing frequency of diaper changes, applying protective lotions or using urinary catheters, notes Mayo Clinic. In instances in which pressure sores are resistant to other forms of treatment, oral interventions may come into play. To reduce pain, doctors recommend the use of anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen.
Repositioning the patient helps reduce pressure on existing sores by spreading the patient's body weight. Muscle relaxants provide relief to patients who experience muscle spasms and promote healing, reports Mayo Clinic. Dietitians recommend boosting the patient's health and enhancing healing through a healthy diet rich in protein and fluids.
Removal of infected tissue promotes proper healing and adopts procedures such as surgical and autolytic debridement, or dead tissue removal, involving the use of special dressing to moisten the wound and keep dirt away, according to Mayo Clinic. Special cushions on a wheelchair relieve pressure on sores and protect the elderly patient's skin.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

Back before I left, freezing-cold, soon-to-graduate high school student Bonnee Crawford, who has written one book already and has started another, hit me with the Liebster Award. Thanks, Bonnee! Now, here's a funny thing--I've been Liebstered in the past, but evolution seems to be taking place in the blogosphere. When Carrie Butler first tagged me with a Liebster back in September of last year, pretty much all I had to do was post the rules, link back and thank the tagger, then share the love with five more people. Now? Well, Liebster seems to have grown up. Now? Here are the rules as posted on Bonnee's site:
The Liebster Blog Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. The rules are:1. Post a link to your nominator's blog with some information about him/her on your blog.2. Share 11 facts about yourself.3. Nominate 11 bloggers with fewer than 200 followers.4. Follow your nominator.5. Notify the blogs you nominated.

In my first monograph, I examined the architecture of Roman luxury villas around the Bay of Naples to address the cultural factors that informed it (OUP, 2014). I have also developed a VR digital model of the Villa of the Papyri that systematizes and visualizes data from past and ongoing archaeological fieldwork at the Villa and edited a volume on the Villa of the Papyri (De Gruyter, 2010). I am presently working on two projects. The first is generated by my research on luxury villa architecture and addresses the ways in which Roman ideas and idealization of landscape contributed to the creation of a novel language of architecture and landscape architecture. My second project focuses on the urban areas of late Hellenistic Delos in order to examine the rapid urbanization resulting from economic development on the island between 167 BCE and the sacks of 88 and 69 BCE (UrbaNetworks).

John's College) MA Design Studies in History and Theory of Architecture (Harvard University, Graduate School of Design) BA/MA in Architecture and Engineering (National Technical University of Athens) Biography I received my MSt and DPhil in Classical Archaeology from the University of Oxford. Prior to this I studied Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and gained a Master of Design Studies in History and Theory of Architecture from Harvard (GSD). I have held research fellowships at the UCLA Experiential Technologies Center, the Freie Universität Berlin (TOPOI), the NYU Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, the University of Cologne (Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow), the Getty Research Institute and the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies. Most recently, I was a Marie Curie Intra-European Research Fellow at the National Hellenic Research Foundation (Institute of Historical Research). Postgraduate supervision Greek and Roman art and architecture; Greek and Roman urbanism; landscape architecture and representation of landscape in antiquity; computer applications in art history and classical archaeology Research I am currently working on two projects. The first one focuses on the idea of landscape in Roman luxury villas. I examine the architecture of Roman luxury villas together with the literary and visual representations of natural scenery in order to address the ways in which Roman ideas and idealization of landscape contributed to the creation of a novel language of architecture and landscape architecture. A second project focuses on the urban areas of late Hellenistic Delos in order to examine the rapid urbanization resulting from economic development on the island between 167 BCE and the sacks of 88 and 69 BCE. The mixed-use neighborhoods attest to the cultural and religious diversity of the island during this period and serve as case studies for the ties between economic development and urbanization. I examine the neighborhoods as microcosms of the changes that Delos underwent during the late Hellenistic period. By combining analysis of the urban form with an evaluation of economic growth, public administration and private initiatives, this project will offer a new approach to the study of urbanism in classical antiquity.

Raise the Debt Ceiling. Obama Don't Need No Steenking Congress!
According to some senators and constitutional scholars, the entire concept of a national "debt limit" is unconstitutional. Senator Chris Coons (D—Delaware) said:
"This is an issue that's been raised in some private debate between senators as to whether in fact we can default, or whether that provision of the Constitution can be held up as preventing default."
There's disagreement over the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, which states:
"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."
According to legal scholar Garrett Epps:
"This provision makes clear that both the monies our nation owes to bondholders, and the sums promised in legislation to those receiving pensions set by law from the federal government, must be paid regardless of the political whims of the current congressional majority."
Epps said that if Congress refuses to act, Obama could — and should — instruct the Treasury Department to issue "binding debt instruments on the world market sufficient to cover all the current obligations of the United States government, even in default of Congressional action to meet those obligations."
Works for me.
And seconding the motion, Bill Clinton is telling the Democrats "Grow a Pair!!!"
Think they will?

1. Pink dusty antique stool | 2. Gold photo frame | 3. Stag head | 4. Brass spotlight lamp | 5. White throw | 6. Baylis & Harding candle | 7. Copper tray | 8. Marie cat mug
Finally! It's Spring at last which means new beginnings, beautiful flowers on the trees, fresh cut grass, better weather (not so much the North of the UK!) and new goodies in the shops.
Now I don't exactly have my own place as of yet but my bedroom is probably the most homey part of my house. So because I'm never out of here I like to make it look nice and surround myself with things I love.
Recently I have done a big clear out meaning that I have gotten rid of a lot of old things I no longer want, sold them and now I am in search of new pieces to decorate my walls as they're looking very bare at the moment.
So firstly I am after a new lamp, I know the one I have picked out is actually a floor lamp but you are able to find smaller versions of these spotlight lamps. I just thought it would be a nice little antique looking piece for my desk. I think it stands out, given that it's a spotlight too it should be better and brighter. I am really picky with lamps for some reason, I have had around three before my last one broke. I always like to have something unusual to brighten up my bedroom. I think I may have to invest in one of these though.
I chose a nice gold bold frame for my bland white walls which used to be buttered with tons of shelves a few years ago. I went through a phase of collecting nooks and crannys from charity shops, all these old ornaments of deers and kittens. I still love that type of thing but I feel that it doesn't suit what I want anymore.
Also these copper baskets are quite popular at the moment! I have noticed a few bloggers using them for their perfumes, which is a blessing for me because I have so many perfumes and no space in my drawer left. The copper colour is gorgeous, it's similar to rose gold and I find it interesting how this wire basket as been used. It's so simple yet it'd make a great make up and perfumer holder. I never would have thought!
Baylis and Harding is lovely, that scent "Peach, Rose and Vanilla" is a dream. I smelt it the other day over in Debenhams and fell in love!
The dusky pink stool is a complete treasure. It's so elegant but subtle meaning that it can really make up a room. I would be happy to have that under my vanity table any day!
I have always admired stag heads, I find antlers beautiful in general anyway. I like how this particular piece is in white too and would match my room perfectly!
Also... a Disney mug of sweet little Marie from the Aristocats? Because why not!
If any of you are interested in these items I have linked them already to each store they are from.
Anyway enough about me! Do you have any specific favourite pieces this Spring?
