I dream of a country where all men would live in peaceAnd there would be nothing like wars or Boko Haram to break us apart.
I dream of a time when all tribes would speak one language called peace
And there is equality for all.
I dream of a land when religious sentiments are set aside
And unity would strive amongst all.
A time when all will share the nation's wealth as one
And not a few acting as lords over all.
I dream of a land where corruption is killed
And transparency becomes a friend of all.
A land where everyone will put on the garment of purity
And the stains of kidnapping, oil bunkery, armed robbery
Money laundering, examination malpractices
And all forms of filthiness are cleansed from all hearts.
I dream of when laws are made and obeyed by all.
A time when the bridge that exist between the rulers
And the ruled is slain and only great minds are enthroned
And not selection through violent elections.
I dream of a time when citizens no longer live in fear.
A time when the future of tomorrow's leaders are guaranteed
Only then will the dividend of democracy is defined.
I seek for a time when past glories is restored in our sports
And we would not have to struggle for medals anymore.
A time when good roads are seen
And citizens no longer sleep on roads.
A time when all will turn farmers
And we would not have to import what we have any longer.
A time when citizens would no longer queue for fuel in our petrol stations.
I long for when citizens will be willing to help the nation
And no longer beg for the nations help.
A time when the Greenland across the globe is pronounced
And citizens speak no evil of this land anymore.
This Greenland,
The land of my birth
May my dreams for you be fruitful
Even as you celebrate longetivity on earth.
With love
Irukablog ❤

General Information :
Kuta Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Indonesia, especially in Bali. Kuta is famous within local and international tourists for its wonderful sunset and its hot climate that really fit for those who craving to be having a tan skin. For me, this beach is a must visit beach if you have a chance to visit Bali. I guarantee that Bali is wonderful. Many people love to visit Bali. In addition to the beauty of the sunset, this beach also offer the tourist to enjoy other activities that majority is managed by the local community. They are offering the tourist to enjoy the beach by doing water sport. Generally, the water sport they offer is surfing, parasailing, and banana boat. On this beach you also will find local people who offering for your hair plaited, ask you to make a temporary tattoo,offer you something to drink or even renting umbrellas to tourist. These local people usually gonna offer those service for a certain price. But the price isn't a nett price. Sometimes you could bargain the price because sometimes there are some merchants who offer high price to the tourists.
My Story :
As I had told you before that these local people is quite friendly. When I visited Bali, I went to Kuta beach. When I was waiting for the sunset, I was looking for some photos on the beach. While I was taking some photos, suddenly there was a man who talked to me. He asked where do I come from. After we had a short conversation, he started to suggest me some place to visit in Bali. I found that those information that I got from that man is really turns helpful. But the most interesting part of this beach is its enterance gate. The enterance gate is exotic. With the ornaments on it, it separates the crowd of the town with the joy of the warm beach. I stayed right on the beach til the sunset.
|Kuta Beach, Kuta, Bali

Men vs. Women
This week at Harper Morgan English, we are talking about men and women and gender equality.
Recent research [1/2] has shown that cavemen and women lived in an equal society, with both genders taking balanced responsibility in their daily lives.
From this we can ask two questions; were humans living perfect lives then? Or, have we evolved and progressed to a better society now?
To decide which opinion you agree with, here are some questions to ask yourself:
Firstly, are men and women different? Do these differences mean that men are unable to do certain things? Is this the same for women?
Secondly, what are the main reasons that men and women do not have the same rights in society? Are there any good reasons for this?
Finally, if men and women were treated identically, would there be any negative consequences?
Let us know what you think! Have a great weekend by joining the conversation!

Haryana, July 21: In a shocking incident, The Haryana Police arrested a 60-year-old godman in Fatehabad on Friday for allegedly raping 120 women under the guise of treatment, sources said.
According to The sources, the accused Baba Amarpuri, who worked in the Baba Balaknath temple, would drug the women and then rape them. He would also film the victims while in the act and then use the videotapes to blackmail his victims into doing more sexual favours for him, the report added.
The arrest came in after police found various rape clips, each with a different victim. The clips were shot by the accused himself using his cell phone. The accused has reportedly been sent on 5-day police custody. The investigating police have also raised his premises and have reportedly seized a number of suspicious articles.
The 60-year-old Baba has been found responsible for raping at least 120 women. The police have received 120 clips, which were shot on his cellphone by Baba himself and had different women in each. Speaking about the same, the police said.
He was also booked in another rape case on the complaint of a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her inside the temple, nine months back

In a recent conversation with a client, he said "I know I should be taking action on this big decision but I just can't, there are too many circumstances that are preventing it." That statement got me thinking about what allows leaders to take action inside of circumstances rather than getting stopped in their tracks.
I believe that the best leaders are always looking for the "next action" to keep progressing things even when it looks like it's not possible due to circumstances. Often, we get conditioned to see circumstances as barriers rather than opportunities to expand our perspective, explore new solutions and get creative in our approach.
So, consider something this past week where you felt stopped due to circumstances - a conversation, meeting or decision you did not take action on. What had you feel stopped? What were the circumstances? What potential new actions could you have taken? Let's discuss some strategies to take action regardless of circumstances.
When you realize you are putting off taking an action, take a moment and ask yourself:
- What is the actual action I need to take here?
- What circumstance is causing me to delay taking action?
- What information do I need to move forward? How will I gather it?
- What are three small actions I could take today to progress things?
This sequence of questions will help you get unstuck and back into action. Even if the small actions include reviewing your plan, re-reading information or having discussions with colleagues, you are still moving forward regardless of the circumstances.
The ability to stay in the game, take action to progress things (even when others feel it might be impossible) will set you apart from other leaders. A leader who can get unstuck and help others also get unstuck is important in our VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous).
So, what can you do in the upcoming week to take new actions on "that project" or "that situation?" What new perspective do you need to take uncover new approaches and/or help your team to do so?
When I worked through this with the client mentioned earlier, he said "I just think we should re-set the entire plan, what we are doing isn't working and really won't, that's why we can't make a decision, our thinking was wrong at the start." I went with him and said "what if you did re-work the plan, is that even possible?" He said not only is it possible but necessary so he contacted his key leaders on the project and asked them to review the plan and present their ideas on new approaches. Within a week, they were able to uncover some problematic assumptions they had made with the plan, re-work it and actually get the project back on track and get the entire team back in action.
Look forward to hearing from you and how these questions can serve you as a leader!
Weekly Uplevel Practice
In the upcoming week, take time to work through the questions mentioned above:
- What is the actual action I need to take here?
- What circumstance is causing me to delay taking action?
- What information do I need to move forward? How will I gather it?
- What are three small actions I could take today to progress things?
Then, get creative and identify new actions that you can take within the next 24 hours. Who do you need to involve? What new information might you need?

Beyond the Pale
Beyond the Pale
by Renzo Llorente
Pages: 112
Dimensions: 210 x 140 x 6 mm
Publication date: 28 September 2010
Compare at Wordery
"Whence the condemnation of loitering? Why this aversion to what is, after all, the definitive metaphor for 'the human condition'? To loiter: to remain in an area for no obvious reason (Merriam-Webster)."
And this is a book for loitering and loiterers. You can ramble through, or simply dip in at will. It says something about our times that the aphorism has almost but not quite disappeared from contemporary English literature, and the reason must, at least in part, be our attitude to time: "It may seem remarkable that those who have the least time — old people, the elderly — have the most patience, but this is no doubt the true hallmark of their wisdom. Having grasped that it makes no difference in the long run whether they do one thing or another, they are indifferent to the delays that prove such a torment for the rest of us."
Renzo Llorente's aphorisms challenge the accepted faith in the free market without adopting another form of blind dogmatism: "We demand cheaper goods, knowing full well that lower wages are usually the key to lower prices; members of oppressed groups compete against one another for opportunities and benefits (…and by demanding cheaper goods); radical groups find themselves obliged to use violence in order to combat injustice and oppression: in capitalist society, moral entrapment is the order of the day."
He challenges our religious conceits in a similar manner: "Theology is the pious form of sophistry." Like many writers of aphorisms, Llorente does not provide absolutes but encourages readers to think for themselves: "It is little wonder that people are happy to grant that so-and-so — usually a writer, thinker, political activist or the like — is the 'conscience of our time': it relieves them of the responsibility of having a conscience of their own."
"While I can not personally vouch for Renzo Llorente's sanity or his mania, his textual self, embodied in the aphorisms of Beyond the Pale: Exercises in Provocation, is unabashedly audacious, deliciously iconoclastic and insightfully satiric. With studious, phrenic brevity — a skill too often ignored and under-developed — witticism and sarcasm to match, Llorente pings his way through the plagues of U.S. modernity like a pinball. He bounces off the absurd rituals of empty religious devotion, ricochets through vacuous television, rumbles over the contradictions of self-aggrandizing patriotism, and plunders the failures and acquiescences of modern-day academic Marxists. He walks the line between being an astute observer and critic of modern public culture and a cantankerous progressive intellectual, who has unapologetically jettisoned religion, positivism and nostalgia, and is seriously considering sending liberal humanism to the same fate." — Justin Patch, The European Legacy: Toward New Paradigms (273)

Archbishop Goh urges Catholics to take up Pope Francis' mission of being people of mercy at Pope's Day Mass

By Christopher Khoo
Follow Pope Francis in being people of mercy, people who are welcoming, people who are not afraid to go beyond their comfort zone, said Archbishop William Goh during the annual Pope's Day Mass.
Speaking to the congregation gathered at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd for the 10.30 am Mass on March 11, he stressed that the thrust of the pope's pontificate over the past five years have been about mercy, inclusivity, joy, compassion, forgiveness and life.
Pope Francis "speaks of a Church that is a welcoming Church", not a cold, legalistic one, said Archbishop Goh at the Mass to mark the fifth anniversary of the pope's election.
"He believes in a Church that comes out of itself to the world, reaching out to those on the periphery," he told the congregation which included priests, Religious, ambassadors and other members of the diplomatic corps.
The pope isn't speaking about people living on the geographical periphery, but those on the "existential periphery", those who are in misery, suffering from pain, injustices, illness and poverty, said Archbishop Goh in his homily.
"These are the people the Church is called to reach out to," he said, noting that Pope Francis has said many times that he wanted a Church "that is bruised, hurting and dirty, not a Church that is confined in her security, looking always within".
"The Church is not about ourselves. The Church is about humanity, about society," said Archbishop Goh.
And that is why the pope wants the Church to be a Church of mercy, a Church that is welcoming to everyone, including sinners, said Archbishop Goh.
"The Church that Pope Francis speaks of is a Church that goes beyond rules, doctrines, and laws. The Church that he believes in cannot be just a Church of dos and don'ts," said Archbishop Goh.
However, that does not mean that Pope Francis does not hold on to the truths of the Gospel. "Of course he does," said Archbishop Goh. "What he is speaking about is that we need to put people's existential problems and needs before the ideals.
"The doctrines, the truths we proclaim – these are the ideals. But people are struggling to live out the ideals. And that is why the Holy Father invites us to apply the Gospel of mercy in reaching out to these people," said Archbishop Goh.
He noted that for those with same-sex orientation, the pope has said, "Who am I to judge?"
"Those of you whose marriages are failing, those of you who have been divorced and remarried, the Holy Father knows your struggles. He knows your pain. Nobody gets married to be divorced, let's face the fact," said Archbishop Goh.
"These are manifestations of a wounded humanity. Therefore we need to be welcoming, we cannot afford to be judgemental."
For those who are suffering, "we must help them discern, accompany them. And more than anybody else, these are the people who need our support and love", said Archbishop Goh. "This is what a merciful Church is all about. This is a Church that reaches out to the periphery."
He urged the congregation to "take up this same mission; follow Pope Francis in being people of mercy, people who are welcoming, people who are not afraid to go beyond the boundaries of our comfort zone".
At the end of the Mass, Msgr Yovko Pishtiyski, Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of the Apostolic Nunciature in Singapore, thanked the congregation for their "constant prayers" for the pope and for their generous support of Peter's Pence, a papal charity.
He conveyed to the congregation the greetings of the Holy Father and his apostolic blessing upon them and their families.

With the deadline for feedback on the Government's choices paper around quick-time period vacation letting in New South Wales drawing close to – they're due on the finish of October – we're starting to see a resurgence of articles and musings in regards to the influence of quick-time period holiday itemizing corporations on Australia's fragile housing system. On the other side of this equation are our landlords, who by definition do not find themselves within the position of getting "missed out" on property possession.

The last information we've out there is from the 2014/15 monetary year, and it tells us that the vast majority of Australia's tax-paying landlords own solely a single rental property or two.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has released the first picture of a Model S inside a tunnel dug by The Boring Company.
Taken at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, the picture gives us a glimpse at how a vehicle would look in the high-speed subterranean transportation system envisioned by the outspoken executive.
While the tunnel looks fairly narrow, drivers wouldn't have to worry about hitting the sides as vehicles would park on a platform above ground and then be lowered onto a track below. The vehicle and the platform it rides on would then be transported on magnetic rails at speeds up to 124 mph (200 km/h).
Musk has big plans for his underground tunnels as he previously stated he wants to build a hyperloop to connect the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. His plan called for the tunnels to connect "city center to city center" and each location would have "up to a dozen or more entry/exit elevators."
Despite initially claiming he had received government approval, he later walked back that statement by saying there is "still a lot of work needed to receive formal approval, but [I] am optimistic that [it] will occur rapidly."

The Killers is a live binaural sound work performed at The Regent seaside diner in Weston-super-Mare. Sat in the diner, the audience wear headphones and watch as the audio is constructed; eavesdropping on conversations; tracking the flight of a wayward fly; hearing in real time the countdown to an assassination.
The work draws on adaptations of Ernest Hemingway's The Killers (1927) which tells the story of two assassins as they arrive at a diner, thirty minutes before a killing. The men order two fish suppers and discuss methods of execution: a radio plays Cyndi Lauper over and over again in the kitchen; inexplicable deliveries of novelty objects are made to the tables; a diner band tunes up in the corner; the half-hour counts down.
The Killers is a quiet speculation on how the vinyl booths, coffee counters and cherry pie of British diners carry approximations of American culture, and what happens when you get off the train at the seaside and reach the end of the line.
Your ticket for The Killers includes a £5 food voucher to redeem at The Regent. Arrive for 7pm to eat, before the show starts at 8pm. We can recommend the chips and curry sauce with a glass of fizzy Vimto.

United Kingdom -- The UK is considering building a range of mini-nuclear power plants to solve the impending energy crunch.
Currently, a $24 billion Hinkley plant is on the books to be built and resolve the energy crisis in England; however, the project has been snagged by delays. Now, the UK is considering developing small modular reactors (SMRs). They use existing or new nuclear technology, but it has been scaled down to a small fraction of the size of the average power plant, producing 1/10 the energy of what Hinkley would produce.
The mini plants would have equipment small enough to transport by truck and would only take 6-12 months to build.
"The real promise of SMRs is their modularization. You can assemble them in a factory with an explicable design meaning consistent standards and predictable costs and delivery timescale," said Anurag Gupta, director and global lead for power infrastructure at consultancy KPMG.

|A Portrette Scarlett doll
Today I got a big stack of packages, mostly new project dolls or accessories to complete older dolls. I am happy to have more things to work on, not that working has been easy lately with everything we've had going on. Our daughter still isn't feeling all the way well, despite having been taken to Urgent Care, the E.R., and her pediatrician. She's been X-Rayed and had an ultrasound. She's had blood work and all sorts of tests, but they can't find anything wrong and send her home telling us to give her Tylenol. She's scared and angry with us for not having cured her already. It's a terrible and terrifying thing to have a sick child and to be able to do nothing for her. We haven't gotten a bill yet, but we're on a high-deductible plan, so I shudder to think of the thousands of worthless dollars we've spent. While all that was going on I still had to find time to sew a bunch of marching band costumes, which I promised to do months ago. Then, my friend I usually walk with has joined a gym and goes to classes when I can't go because I'm driving my teen around at that time, so I lost my workout buddy.
On top of everything, the situation with the family member's baby I wrote about in my Wendy Ann's Tara Dreams post means we will lose our childcare, since my mother-in-law will be keeping that baby during the day. I was supposed to accompany my husband on a business trip to Cincinnati next month and now I won't be able to go. I was really looking forward to it. Cool, green Ohio summer evenings are one of my favorite things, and I love Cincinnati. When I was a girl that meant the "city" and we would visit often to shop or see a Red's game or go to King's Island. We were also planning a trip next summer to my native California, and now that's off as well. So, for me at least, it seems you really can't go home again!
|Scarlett's costume
So, I've been feeling unbecomingly sorry for myself. I think I am just suffering from a fatigue of spirit. I've had too many people needing me to take them here and there and do this or that for them and not enough time to myself. Of course I know when school starts and I'm alone all day I'll miss all the bustle! I took myself on a walk to the lake to give myself a stern talking to about how lucky I really and and how much more I have than so many others. The lake was a riot of green this afternoon, jade and emerald, grass and leaf and lime. I feel a bit better now.
|A "Nancy Drew" face doll
Gazing on riffled waves and walking under the trees centers me. I was able to remember all I've accomplished. Last night I ran about two miles of my five mile walk. My buddy doesn't like to run so I haven't been doing it lately. I've been cleaning everything, including all the bed linens and blankets and electronics we've used, trying to eradicate all my daughter's bug, and I'm nearly finished. I cleaned a huge stack of vintage doll clothes from the 1930s-1970s, including a new Scarlett O'Hara gown.
|A 1960s or 70s Elise doll
You might remember a few months back a customer bought the dress off my Scarlett Roses Cissy without buying the doll. I found another Jacqueline-face Portrette doll from the 1960s or 70s in bad shape but with a nice dress I can use to re-style that Cissy. I'm thinking of giving her a Christmas outfit.
|Nancy Drew, re-strung
I think I've spent so much on Sonja there's no way I'll make a profit on her, so she'll be a labor of love. I have many pieces of her original trousseau with tags, however, and her golden skates and some skis (one original to her). Then I just couldn't resist a new pair of fancy skates! I may have to keep her for just a little while! I think I might make her a bunad, or traditional costume, as well. I don't know where she was from, but my family wears the Hardanger bunad, so that's probably what I'll make. I haven't embroidered any Hardanger recently. It's nice to feel excited about some projects again. That's the thing that makes my job worthwhile!
You will find many of these dolls in my store very soon, so please check: http://stores.ebay.com/atelier-mandaline.

Contrary to some opinions, the industrial frac sand mining industry is not continuing on a down-turn. It's a cyclical industry.
Read more in today's La Crosse Tribune
byCHRIS HUBBUCH email@example.com
Dogged by low oil prices, Wisconsin's once-booming frac sand mining industry is down but not out.
An industry trade magazine will host a two-day conference next week in La Crosse where the goal is to provide practical knowledge — along with hope that oil prices will eventually rebound and North Dakota drillers will again buy their fine-grained sand.
Even as layoff notices have become a nearly monthly occurrence at Wisconsin sand mines, the frac sand industry is poised for a rebound.
"We're still here," said Marty Lehman, president of the Wisconsin Industrial Sand Association. "We've been through this before. It's a cyclic industry."

Each time I have tried to work on my coursepress courses these past few days, the coursepress directory goes missing. I've had to reinstall it 4 times in the last two days and I have no idea why it keeps disappearing. I've contacted my host to ask what could possibly be happening; but, since it's only coursepress that is randomly disappearing, I figured I'd ask the developers as well.
Thank you,

Sports Academy
Our Sports Academy programme is designed to identify, support and challenge our more able sportsmen and women who have shown potential within their chosen sport. As a PE department, we have developed the following set criteria to identify our most talented athletes:
Performs at county level or above in his chosen sport.
Makes an outstanding contribution to various sport teams within the school, demonstrating all-round ability and a commitment to extra-curricular provision.
Consistently shows a higher level of ability and attainment in core PE lessons in comparison to the rest of their year group.
Sets an example for other students to follow in terms of behaviour, effort and endeavour when representing the school.
The sports academy programme is run in partnership with Ed Archer and Athlete Academy. Ed has been supporting the PE department for a number of years and his input has become invaluable for our students. Ed was strength and conditioning coach for Gloucester RFC for 7 years before launching Athlete Academy. He is fully qualified with a BSc (Hons) in Advanced Sport & Exercise along with being a tutor, coach and assessor for UK Strength and Conditioning. Ed truly is an expert in this field and his understanding of what needs to happen for students to maximise their potential is second to none.
The focus of the sports academy is to develop students' knowledge and understanding even further with regards to functional movement. The sessions focus purely on Strength & Conditioning and developing the all-round athlete. Workshops also take place throughout the academic year to challenge students understanding of their role within sport, focusing on topics such as diet, sport psychology and barriers to fulfilling potential.

Every pet shop employee probably feels good when he sells a complete aquarium setup, and he probably should. It looks good on his sales figures, and adds a nice chunk to the day's totals. But, an aquarium setup is not just a "big sale" for today; it can also be the gateway to years of enjoyment for the customer, and years of patronage for the retailer. It's important, then, to look at the big picture, in addition to the bottom line.
It's no secret to our industry that many people who attempt aquarium fish keeping for the first time have difficulties, and that some give up in despair after only a few months. There can of course be many reasons for failure in this hobby, and some may not be within our reach to fix. Who knows? It might be hard for many of us to comprehend, but there may well be a few people on this planet that just don't have the time, patience or interest to maintain an aquarium!
However, studies have shown repeatedly that there are many other short-term hobbyists that just got off to a bad start, with inadequate equipment and questionable advice. And while the local pet shop isn't the only place to get either equipment or advice, it's certainly in our best interest to make sure we're holding up our end by offering quality merchandise and proven methods to those just starting out.
Most aquarium retailers will no doubt be happy to supply the customer with whatever equipment he'd like; but many quickly find that the vast array of tanks, filters, heaters, and other aquarium equipment available make selecting components for an aquarium setup a daunting task – especially for the beginner. To make the decision process a bit less complicated, some retailers opt to put together some sort of Standardized Setup, in which certain brands, styles and sizes of products are recommended for certain aquarium sizes.
Standardizing setups has several advantages. First, if similar products are used across a range of tank sizes (e.g. power filter size A for up to 10 gallons, size B for 15-20 gallons, C for 25-40 gallons, and so on), prices can be more realistically compared. Also, the dealer can take better advantage of special pricing on products that he knows his employees will be promoting. But most importantly, the dealer can select and promote products that he believes will lead to success and long-term customers.
What to include in the Standardized Setup. When selecting items for the Standardized setup, it's important to put together a package that is reasonably complete, but without scaring away potential buyers with "sticker shock" by throwing in everything including the infamous kitchen sink. A good place to see this concept in action is at a local automobile dealership. The sticker price generally includes the basic necessities, such as engine, body, and with any luck at all, tires. Added to this are various Options, such as power steering and stereo equipment, which many, if not most, customers will likely select. Then, there are Upgrades, such as bigger engines and special lighting packages, which some, but probably not the average, buyers will appreciate.
The basics of an aquarium setup would be the tank itself, a cover and light, some sort of filtration/aeration package, and a heater and thermometer. Starter sizes of dechlorinators and fish foods are often included as well, and a step-by-step setup instruction sheet is an absolute must. In each of these categories, the dealer should select reliable, low-maintenance items – in short, the type of equipment he and his staff would take home and be comfortable in using. Neither high-tech, top-of-the-line items nor cheap junk has a place in this basic setup. Likewise, if the dealer routinely speaks with disdain about a certain style of filtration or brand of heater, it would be quite disingenuous to include them in the package.
Options would include things that most people will certainly use, but really aren't quite a required part of the life-support system. Gravel, backgrounds, and other decorations fit nicely into this category, as do aquarium stands and cabinets. Cleaning equipment such as scrubbers, scrapers, brushes and nets can be nice little add-ons, too. Some of these items could be incorporated into the setup price by setting an "allowance" for decoration or maintenance supplies for each size setup, but there are far too many choices in size, style, color and price for the retailer to calculate an exact cost. For one thing, it would make comparison-shopping much more difficult, since few pet stores – and probably no mass merchandisers – include these items in their prices. Also, some hobbyists might spend hundreds of dollars on decorations for a 30 gallon tank, while others might get change back from their twenty.
More experienced hobbyists – and beginners with acquaintances in the hobby – may want an Upgrade from some of the standard equipment: perhaps a canister filter instead of a hang-on, a calibrated submersible heater, or a bigger and quieter air pump. These upgrades should be encouraged, but not made necessary by skimping on items in the basic package.
Pre-boxed setups are now available from a few manufacturers, with eye-catching packaging and a discounted price. While the selection is still quite limited, there's no good reason to overlook these packaged deals, as long as they include the types of equipment the dealer recommends. It is again counterproductive to offer items that the dealer feels are inadequate, even if they come in a pretty box at a good price.
Signage. While aquarium setups don't quite sell themselves, good signage can get the process off to a solid start. Like the setups themselves, signs can be too far too simple or far too complicated, and it takes a little experience and some feedback from the sales staff to find an effective middle ground. A card that just says "29 gallon – $119.98" leaves too much to the imagination, while a three-page dissertation of every possible combination of option and upgrade would be clearly overwhelming. A reasonable sign should include the list of items in the basic setup, the package price, and perhaps a few (as in two or three), of the favorite options or upgrades. Individual prices for the included equipment can also be included, and are very useful to shoppers who are perhaps only looking for a tank or a hood at this time. A "price if purchased separately" subtotal is also very appropriate if a special setup discount is allowed.
Display. Along with good signage, an attractive display can set the stage for a successful sales pitch. It is far easier to sell a 55 gallon tank that you're standing right next to than one that you're "pretty sure" you've got in the back room. Unless they have already seen an aquarium of the desired size or taken measurements of a spot to fill, many shoppers don't have a strong concept of just how big – or how small – a given tank actually is.
A simple display could consist of a tank with all the items included in the basic package neatly arranged inside, or if there's plenty of space and budget, a stack of such packages. But that's certainly not the only permissible approach. Also effective would be to show the tank with the various pieces of equipment unboxed and installed in their proper places. Or perhaps the equipment need not be shown at all in some displays; these might instead be attractively decorated with some combination of gravel, rocks, driftwood and artificial plants to give some decorating hints. It is not uncommon for someone to want to purchase the very decorations from that tank, which is a real ego-booster for the employee that arranged it. Some tanks can even do double-duty, being used as showcases for other merchandise in addition to their "real" job of promoting the setup. And there's no law that says one cannot simply affix a setup price sheet (neatly) to one of the store's display aquariums full of fish and décor. Proper signage, of course, will need to spell out specifically what is and isn't included in these packages.
Pricing, discounts, and bonuses. While the final setup price might be simply the sum of all the items included, it's probably safe to say that most shoppers will be expecting a package discount of some sort. If the profit margin of the individual items as adequate, even a small cash discount of a few per cent will make many customers feel that their business is appreciated. If the profit margin is a little slim, keep in mind that you're competing not only with Joe's Pets down the street, but with a number of mass-merchandisers as well, and that your goal is as much to make a lifelong successful hobbyist as it is to make a few bucks on this sale. Alternately or in addition, free "bonus" items can be included in the package; a coupon for free fish is an inexpensive way to show appreciation – and to bring the customer back for another visit. (Fish, of course, should not be taken home until the setup is assembled, filled, dechlorinated, and the temperature stabilized.)
Custom setups. Many customers' needs can be met by adapting one of the standardized setups, but sometimes it makes more sense to start over from scratch. For example, if most of your setups consist of rectangular tanks with standard lighting and undergravel filtration, they would be a poor starting point for a bowfront tank with double lighting and a large canister filter. A printed setup worksheet form will give a professional appearance, and can be invaluable in avoiding errors and confusion. A column of categories (such as "power filter", "air pump", and "heater") serves as a reminder of what needs to be included, and brand names, sizes and prices can be entered into the succeeding columns. Upon completion, a total price can be calculated, and any discounts or bonuses noted. Should the customer decide to wait before purchase, he can take the worksheet with him, and a carbon or photocopy can be kept on file at the store. As with the signs for standard setups, it is very important that the worksheet show precisely what is included in the package. Even if the same employee is available when the customer returns, it's difficult to remember all the details – and who would want to start a debate with a customer ready to buy? Some notice of expiration, or a "prices subject to change without notice" clause should also be included.
Selling. Signage and display are only the beginning of the sale, and a staff member will almost certainly need to be available and attentive to close the deal. This is the store's opportunity to put its best foot forward, and to promote not just this sale, but hopefully many future sales, and even the hobby as a whole. As with most sales opportunities, approaching the customer with enthusiasm and showing a willingness to help goes a long way towards making the deal before even the first word is uttered.
Some shoppers will want a detailed explanation for every bit of equipment, from the fluorescent light fixture down to the last inch of airline tubing. Others simply want to have some assurance that the unit will indeed support aquatic life, is unlikely to empty itself on the dining room floor, and that a mere mortal can assemble it. A salesperson that is listening, rather than relying on a canned sales pitch, will be better able to adjust his presentation to fully inform the former without overwhelming the latter. He should be prepared to explain what the setup includes and why, and how it might be different from those of other stores in the area. Options and upgrades can also be worked into the conversation as needed.
Not every setup pitch will be rewarded with an immediate purchase, but a good one will have a lasting effect on the hobbyist. And that's at least the next best thing.

I recently purchased an "instant cake" software disc form PTV Upgrades for my Tivo Series 2 TCD24080. The unit's original HD crashed and I purchased a new 80 GB drive to replace it. I also purchased the software and ran it according to the manufacturer's instructions. The first time I ran the new drive in the Tivo I worked fine. I cleared and reset everything. And soon it started to reboot every time it got to the famous "just a few more minutes..." screen. So I ran instant cake again. This time it didn't work. Just got to the same screen and rebooted again and again. So I put it back on the shelf and left it alone for a month. Then I just recently decided to hook it up for giggles, and it booted right into the menu. I had to do a clear and delete everything because it was last reinstalled from instant cake. And after that non-sense for two hours, it is on it's reboot screen kick again.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?? I would greatly appreciate any insight. I have been to many discussion forums and have basically heard a lot of ideas which refer to similar issues caused by running mfstools and not getting the commands put in perfectly. Running instant cake software is supposed to do everything and maybe it is and I have a hardware issue... Don't know for sure. Power supply is a correct voltage, checked jumper settings, tried different IDE cable. I am at a loss.
Please help. Thank you.

About us
SCC was founded in 1986 and is incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory.
Based in Canberra, we deliver Information Technology services to our many Australian Federal Government clients. We have grown steadily and are now recognised as one of the largest labour hire suppliers to the Australian Federal Government.
With a long history of providing contract ICT services in this market place, we have grown from a purely technical services supplier to one currently supplying right across the ICT skills spectrum.
SCC has been providing SAP services since 1997, and became an accredited SAP Services Partner in 2001. One of the reasons for our acceptance as a partner was the recognition that SCC was able to provide the flexible "on the spot" support to SAP's Canberra clients that interstate companies were unwilling or unable to provide. SCC is still the only SAP Services Partner that specialises in supporting Federal Government clients and this is reflected in the growing number of sites that we support in Canberra – over half the SAP sites in Canberra use SCC to help support their enterprise systems.
In a clear demonstration of how we like to support our Government clients and contractors, January 2018 saw us open the Queensland office of Southern Cross Computing in Brisbane.
October 2018 saw SCC become an SAP specialist division of FinXL, a member of the Finite Group. This has opened up a greater range of opportunities for SCC and given FinXL an excellent SAP services capability to be developed nationally.
We have maintained a friendly and open approach to our business and develop lasting relationships with our clients and our consultants. We value honesty and fairness very highly.
We are always on the look out for ways to add value to the services we deliver and are flexible in our approach to business.

Dexter Boys' Lacrosse Clips Skyline in OT
Grisha Griffiths scored in overtime to lift the Dexter boys' lacrosse team to a 7-6 win over Ann Arbor Skyline April 27.
Griffiths finished with two goals and one assist to lead the Dreadnaught offense. Ryan Lotz added a goal and two assists, Gabe Waldrup and Mason Loudermilk a goal and assist each, Jake Kapusansky and Jasper Howell one goal each, and Sean Carr two assists.
Cooper Howatt made 13 saves in net for the Dreads.
The weather caused issues in the other scheduled games for Dexter last week as the Davison game was canceled and the Senior Night game with Chelsea was called off after one quarter due to lightning.

Following is a list of reading materials I have found useful.
Flex 2 / ActionScript 3
ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook
A real time saver and very much worth the investment. As a developer who knows AS2 reasonably well, this book serves to provide 'recipes' for many of the typical functions one might need to programme, presented in the new AS3, making picking up the new language and it's subtleties quite rapid.
My only gripe so far on this first edition is how in chapter 7 it asserts that all arguments are optional in calling graphics.lineStyle(), and that if you call it with no arguments, the line thickness will default to 1px. However in my experience this is not the case. A line thickness needs to be explicitly set in order for the line to draw.
That gripe aside the book has more than paid for itself in time saved. You might like to buy ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook from Amazon.
Flash / ActionScript
After working through the included tutorials, I used these materials speed-up my flash learning.
Training from the source
The following two (training from the source) books are written as self-paced tutorials. And I approached them as such, studiously working through all the exercises. While there are lots of minor errata in this edition, nothing too distracting. They provide a quick-start to lots of the standard ActionScript 2 programming techniques, conventions and serve as a working introduction to the Version 2 components. Working them through start to finish, helps instill those conventions as habit. While good as a quick start, they do not provide a detailed explanation of why certain conventions are used, which may leave you puzzled when you take on a project and start to think for yourself. (Point of note: not enough detail on the initialisation sequence when using screens and components.)
Although written for Flash MX2004 (Flash player 7), there have been no fundamental changes to these techniques or conventions with the recent upgrade to Flash 8. As we continue to use ActionScript 2 and the V2 components. However new learning likely to be required for Flash 9 / ActionScript 3 once there is sufficient player penetration.
Games programming
The third book I got my hands on was Flash MX2004 Games Most Wanted. While generally interested in games programming, my main interest is in picking up techniques that may be applied in my more corporate programming. My initial response to this book was one of disappointment. Although it's title implies Flash MX2004, the code samples are mostly ActionScript 1, using coding conventions I consider redundant (except for legacy maintenance) and poor practice compared with what the training from the source books had just instilled. That aside, the techniques presented are translatable. I found I could further develop and use the maths and timer techniques. I put them into practice when working on the menus and text animations on the eye-d creative site.
Taking a more academic approach, Flash MX2004 Game Design Demystified presents good descriptions of game maths and physics in addition to techniques for various game genres. Probably esstional reading if a game project is coming your way.
More in-depth understanding
Object Oriented Programming with ActionScript 2.0 is a great book presenting ActionScript 2 from a purely Object Oriented point of view. A valuable read, once you have obtained a basic understanding of Flash. Provides more in-depth explanation than the training from the source books. It was from this book that I picked up cue on how to implement inter-object communication via event broadcasting – although I ultimately used a slightly different technique to that presented in the book.
Essential ActionScript 2, is as it suggests essential reading for any serious ActionScript 2 programmer. I came to this book late. It should have been amongst the first books I bought, and would have saved me a load of time. Quite simply this covers the detail missing from the previous books covering matters such as why things are the way they are, and what is going on behind the scenes. Once understood this provides vital in-site, enabling you to make more informed programming and functional design decisions. It is worth checking out the author's blog: mookblog.
I worked on a heavily component driven Flash application last year (2005) and I really wish Advanced ActionScript Components had been available at the time. Chapter 2 – "Inside the process of building a component instance" is essential reading. Although I would have liked to have seen more explanation of the initialisation sequence. I not sure from a readers point of view that XLEFF (the author's Open Source project) needed to be included throughout. However it is an interesting project worth checking out and comparing with Flex2. The chapters on customising and styling the component are again essential reading. However I would have liked to have seen an exploration of the problems with setStyle.
My most used book is the ActionScript 2.0 Dictionary. Half an introduction to ActionScript 2 and half, a printed equivalent of the ActionScript help reference. My general criticism of the supplied documentation is that there is too much ambiguity within the reference material, leading to a great deal of hopping around trying to find examples close to what you are trying to achieve. Non-the-less I found this a vital desk companion especially during the first 12 months of working with flash.

Frank's given 70 years to Milltown and isn't done yet
First elected a councillor in 1967
By Jacqueline Hogge
Seventy years have passed since Frank Glynn first arrived in Milltown but the following decades have seen him leave an indelible mark on the small north Galway village.
A renowned businessman and passionate politician, Frank's legacy to his adopted homeland will no doubt be the continuing community activism that belies his 82 years.
Born in Kilkerrin in 1935, the third of William and Ellen's seven children, Frank was encouraged to take over a great uncle's premises in Milltown while he was still studying commerce at University College Galway.
"My father started his shop in 1930 and my oldest brother Tom went on to take that over when he passed away in 1945. So when my mother was offered the business in Milltown by her uncle, Pat Noone, she took it on as they wanted to keep it in the family," he explains.
"My first visit to Milltown was during the big snow in 1947, when I came to the shop with my mother. By 1953 I was finished in St Jarlath's College and headed into the university in Galway to study commerce.
"I got sick before my finals with a punctured lung so I wasn't able to sit them. I came to Milltown where the manager had recently left and my mother asked me to step in. A lot of my lectures were on Fridays and Saturdays so I was able to combine working in the shop during the week and then studying at the weekends. I eventually graduated in 1958."
Glynn's in the 1950s comprised a grocery, bar and drapery. Frank's wife Mary (nee Coyne), with whom he will celebrate 60 years of marriage next year, was already working in the business when he arrived, having been hired from a shop in Ballygar by her future mother-in-law.
"We had a nice little country drapery which Mary took over along with the grocery," said Frank.
"We were married in September 1958 and the first of our nine children, Liam, came along a year later."
Over the next 15 years, Frank and Mary added to their brood and focused on strengthening the business, which drew custom from Tuam, Kilconly and Claremorris.
"Back then we were general traders, and the equivalent in Tuam were Heskin's on Shop Street and Cahill's in the shambles, which were second and third generation family business," he said.
"We seemed to be a bit more enthusiastic so we proved healthy competition and there was very little to rival us in Claremorris either. Back then we were reaching out to a four or five mile radius and into Dunmore, so we built the business up by degrees."
In the 1960's Frank decided to develop the 16 acres opposite the shop that had come with the business and soon they had built stores and had a van on the road.
"By 1967 we made the move into Tuam and the site I initially wanted was Cahill's on Bishop Street but Joe O'Toole outbid me," said Frank.
"My solicitor Frank Maher told me of another site that was available, Rushford's old wool store that the GAA were looking to develop as a training ground. I got wind of the fact they were having trouble raising the 2,300 pounds so I offered the same and we got it. I hired Tony O'Loughlin to manage the place and the first job I gave him was going on to the site with me with shovels, spades and barrows to clear the place."
That initial site is now part of the vast Glynn's complex on the old Ballygaddy Road that was the accumulation of seven different properties down through the years. The acquisition of the Tuam site meant the family were overseeing the construction of two new stores, with a new premises also being constructed in Milltown.
Not content with building his business empire, Frank decided to dip his toe into local politics in 1967, running for a seat on Galway County Council representing Provisional Sinn Fein.
"I got mixed up with Sinn Fein when I was in university and a good few people here in Milltown were on to me to run," he said.
"I had run in the election in 1960 but lost out by just over 50 votes so when the election came around again in '67 I threw my hat in the ring. I won the seat which marked the start of 24 years in the council, the proudest moment coming in 1979 when I was elected chairman.
"The funny thing about it was in '67 myself and Willie Burke ran here in Milltown, him as an independent, and both of us got elected while up the road in Tuam where you had candidates for all the main parties and not one of them got a seat."
The ending of his political career should have been a smoother affair than transpired as Frank originally decided he wouldn't contest the 1991 election.
"I had young children and the business was taking up all my time so I made the decision not to run but then Ruairi O'Bradaigh convinced me to go, promising me that I wouldn't have to do any canvassing," he said.
"I put an ad in the Tuam Herald telling people that I would be running but wouldn't be knocking on any doors and that was probably a foolish move as it gave my opponents fodder to use against me.
"The Section 31 ban on Sinn Fein was in force so when Paul Connaughton went on radio asking why would anyone vote for someone who wouldn't canvass, I had no right of reply. In the end I lost out by just another 50 or so votes but I've no regrets from my time in the council.
"Myself and Willie did a lot for Milltown, there wasn't a by-road that hadn't been tarred in the area by the time we were done and we were also involved in bringing the first group water scheme in the county to Killafrasog. We travelled to Wicklow to study what they were doing over there as they introduced the first such schemes in the country. We brought back a lot of information that we used to get Killafrasog and then later Milltown's own group water scheme up and running.
"I was able to help a lot of people out with other issues too, such as medical cards as back then public health came under the remit of the council but of course it's all different now. The most humbling thing about it was being able to help some of the poorest of the poor get the help they so badly needed. So many people would come into the bar wanting a chat and I'd take them into one of the snugs for a bit of privacy and try to help them as best I could."
Now that his political and business careers are consigned to history – he handed over the hardware business to two of his sons over a decade ago while another son runs the family's funeral home business in Tuam – Frank is still committed to working for the community.
A stalwart in the Tidy Towns Committee and responsible for organising community employment and rural social schemes in the village, it's common for him to clock up 30 hours in administration each week.
"I'm winding down this summer as it's time, I've been promising my family for years I would," he added with a smile.
"We've achieved an awful lot in the past couple of years with the Heritage Trail and the sewerage scheme works, along with a plan to plant trees along the N17 on both the north and south approaches to the village.
"We have 120 people working in the industrial park which the Milltown Development Company started back in 1970 when we bought that land on the outskirts on the village," he said.
Plans for his 82nd birthday next month will be low key as he intends to follow through on a long standing promise to his family to slow down.
"I'll probably always be involved in one way or another with Tidy Towns although we've a fantastic new team that have taken over so I've full confidence in them to continue the wonderful work that is being done," he said.
"I've been blessed with a wonderful family and a wonderful life and I'm very proud to have done my best to serve the people of Milltown in a variety of ways down through the years."

1969 Chevy Chevelle SS 396 Monaco Orange
This is a true Monaco a.k.a. Hugger Orange 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 with factory air conditioning, power front disc brakes, power steering, and the 350HP 396 big block V8 with some performance extras. The transmission is the stout TH400 3-speed automatic. The '68 and '69 Chevelle Malibu was the most aerodynamic of all Chevelles and one of my favorite American Muscle cars of all time.
