Oleander Arrival Sunday
The Oleander is scheduled for an on time arrival this Sunday.
Ships, crews, stevedores and emergency responders are being put at risk by shippers/importers not declaring hazardous cargo
This week there was a serious hazardous cargo material spill that closed Maher terminal to truck deliveries for a period of time. In addition there have been recent instances where hazardous cargo has arrived and departed Bermuda without being declared. By not declaring hazardous cargo, ship's crews, stevedores and first responders' lives are put at risk. Issues with even very small shipments of non-declared hazardous materials can have serious consequences. In recent months cargoes and even entire ships have been lost globally. Here are just 3 international examples of major losses resulting from undeclared hazardous cargo in containers. There are also significant US fines and prison penalties for undeclared or mis-declared shipments, details are listed below.
Hazardous cargo related ship casualties
Maximum US penalty (Prison)
107.333 Criminal penalties. A person who knowingly violates § 171.2(l) of this title or willfully or recklessly violates a requirement of the Federal hazardous material transportation law or a regulation, order, special permit, or approval issued thereunder shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both, except the maximum amount of imprisonment shall be 10 years in any case in which the violation involves the release of a hazardous material which results in death or bodily injury to any person.
Maximum US penalty (Fines)
A person who knowingly violates a requirement of the Federal hazardous material transportation law, an order issued thereunder, this subchapter, subchapter C of this chapter, or a special permit or approval issued under this subchapter applicable to the transportation of hazardous materials or the causing of them to be transported or shipped is liable for a civil penalty of not more than $55,000 and not less than $250 for each violation, except the maximum civil penalty is $110,000 if the violation results in death, serious illness or severe injury to any person or substantial destruction of property, and a minimum $495 civil penalty applies to a violation relating to training.
The chances of an accident while shipping hazardous cargo are very real, toxic spills have occurred in the past in Bermuda. Bermuda Container Line encourages all importers to fully declare and placard hazardous cargoes each week so that we may stow containers appropriately on the Oleander and be able to address any issues should they arise. The safety of our crews and ships depends upon our customers cooperation.
We appreciate your business and your support.
Thank you

California's Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights Is A Landmark Step In The State
Tuesday, October 17, 2017
Amidst all the dreary news of sexual harassment and assault coming out of Hollywood, the Golden State got some good news. On Thursday, Oct. 12, California became the latest state to pass the Sexual Assault Survivors' Bill of Rights, giving much-needed protections to survivors of sexual assault. The bill provides a number of provisions that are designed to make the process of reporting an assault to authorities and pursuing criminal cases easier.
Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto), one of the bill's joint authors, tells Elite Daily, "Now, when people go through this experience, they're going to be supported a lot more, and it's going to be clear for them what their rights are."

In this case, the quarrel was over setoffs for settlements that totaled $395,000 paid by two under-insured motorists who were claimed to have caused a crash that seriously injured Erin Tufano. Tufano was insured under an Illinois Emcasco Insurance Co. policy that provided $500,000 in under-insured motorist coverage (UIM). A Cook County judge agreed with the insurance company's argument that it owed only $105,000 based on the policy's plain language.
The two insurance companies that insured the tortfeasors offered their policy limits ($100,000 and $295,000). The Emcasco policy said the limit of liability for the UIM coverage "shall be reduced by all sums paid because of the 'bodily injury' by or on behalf of persons or organizations who may be legally responsible."
By arguing that "all sums paid" provision of the insurance policy, Emcasco persuaded the trial judge that Tufano was entitled to receive only $105,000 in UIM benefits (a single $500,000 – $395,000).

Rahab's Help (Joshua 1-2)
Sunday with your kids
Lesson summary: Salvation moves beyond Israel as God's plan unfolds.
In our bible story we learned:
1. Joshua sends spies in the land
2. The spies are discovered but Rahab protects them
3. Rahab's faith is evidence of the promise of God going to all nations
Where is Jesus?
How does today's Bible story fit into God's greater plan of redemption?
Read Matthew 1:5-16
Being in the line of David, Rahab was a forbearer of Christ. She was Boaz's mother. Boaz was the father of Obed (with Ruth); Obed, the father of Jesse; Jesse, the father of David. Jesus was called the Son of David. The Matthew genealogy intentionally includes two Gentile women, Rahab and Ruth. This is a foreshadowing of God's intention to reach the nations.
Family Discipleship - "Time" in the Home
We are on week 43 which starts on page 284 in the Long Story Short devotional. This week is rich with activity and truth that hits close to home. Get ready to talk about finding our strength in God, not ourselves; trusting God will protect; God uses all different backgrounds for His glory; and how a Gentile, marginalized woman of the time is the far off grandmother of Jesus.
Pray about it! Thank God for saving Rahab so that Jesus would one day be born.
Scripture memory is THIS SUNDAY!

Everyone loves trees, so why are they so controversial? They are the focus of years of back and forth in the Texas legislature and the subject of intense debate at several city halls and neighborhood meetings in the Dallas area.
It may come as a surprise to some that when you purchase land, the city can require that trees come at an additional cost if they must be removed to make way for your home site. If you happen to be building in South Dallas, the cost for tree removal can approach or exceed the price of the land itself. These fees do not come from the world's most expensive logging company; instead, they come in the form of mitigation fees assessed by the city based on the size and species of the trees that need to be removed.

Posted 12 April 2016 | By Michael Mezher
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) on Tuesday released a host of classification decisions for advanced therapies being developed to treat various types of tissue damage, including burns, scars and non-healing wounds.
The agency, through its Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT), offers sponsors an optional consultation to determine whether a product meets the criteria for an advanced-therapy medicinal product (ATMP). The classification procedure is laid out in Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007, which states:
"Any applicant developing a product based on genes, cells or tissues may request a scientific recommendation of the Agency with a view to determining whether the referred product falls, on scientific grounds, within the definition of an advanced therapy medicinal product," the regulation says.
The procedure is intended to help sponsors when their product borders between different classifications, such as a product that combines a tissue-based product and a medical device.
Once EMA has consulted with the European Commission for a decision under this procedure, the agency publishes its decision after removing or redacting any proprietary or confidential information.
Due to the complex and novel nature of ATMPs, they are required to be submitted via the centralised procedure and cannot be approved directly by a national regulatory authority.
In total, the agency issued 19 classification decisions, 17 of which were classified as tissue engineered products, and one that was classified as a somatic cell therapy. The one product that did not meet the criteria for an ATMP was a decellularized matrix made from pig skin, which EMA said did not contain viable tissue or cells and is not a gene therapy.

Android Jelly Bean
Google has already released Android 4.1 code name: Jelly Bean
here are a few of the new features in Jelly Bean and a few Tips and Tricks as well that you can try out on Jelly Bean!
Google Now
This is one of the most highlighted feature of Jelly Bean. With this feature you can now get all you information like weather, location, sports,news, searches etc all in one place, which save a lot of effort in going to various apps for doing different things. Users can quickly launch Google Now from the home screen or from the lock screen, by long pressing the home button a white semicircle pops out with the Google logo printed on it. Now, just drag your finger towards the logo and it will instantly launch Google Now. The Google Now function can also be launched by pressing the Back button on the home screen and then moving your finger towards the same semicircle and logo that appears on the screen.
You can also talk to Google now same as Apple's Siri ask random questions and "Now" will answer back or search the web for relevant information. not as good as Siri though, but it's a start in that direction.
The Expressionless – Truth or Hoax?
So, a few days ago I was browsing this really interesting site – 9GAG and happened to come across this post about some creepy mannequin like woman who claimed to be "God " and ate away all the hospital guards etc.
first of all, this is how the complete story goes for those who haven't read it yet: (Source: The Expressionless – Creepy Pasta)
A Note before reading: Please don't read this if you are scared easily and especially not at night 😉
The Expressionless
In June of 1972, a woman appeared in Cedar Senai hospital in nothing but a white, blood-covered gown. Now this, in itself, should not be too surprising as people often have accidents nearby and come to the nearest hospital for medical attention, but there were two things that caused people who saw her to vomit and flee in terror.The first being that she wasn't exactly human. she resembled something close to a mannequin, but had the dexterity and fluidity of a normal human being. Her face, was as flawless as a mannequins, devoid of eyebrows and smeared in make-up.
There was a kitten clamped in her jaws so unnaturally tight that no teeth could be seen, and the blood was still squirting out over her gown and onto the floor. She then pulled it out of her mouth, tossed it aside and collapsed. Read the rest of the story

For more information, including a calendar of events, see: http://www.archaeologyweek.com/
Come see all the research that's been hiding!
Come hear all the results that haven't seen the light of day!
Come and listen to all the wondrous things people have done in the past!
Welcome to the 2018 AIMA/ASHA conference, proudly brought to you by University of New England!
The Clearinghouse is all about dusting off that old research and getting it out into the light. It's time for the honours thesis you did ten years ago to be presented, that project you did in that in-between year to show itself, and for the "I really should do something with that" to finally have something done with it…by presenting at this year's AIMA/ASHA conference 27-28 September 2018.
Just to be clear, we want genuine research and good presentations, not a slide show of your summer holidays. For this reason we're keeping the themes as broad as we can. Fear not if you don't think your research fits in, we want you to submit your abstract anyway and we'll find a place for it!
We are looking forward to seeing you in Parramatta!
The Clearinghouse Conference Details:
When: 27 - 29 September 2018
Where: UNE Campus Parramatta
For more information on: Call for papers, Draft Conference schedule, Registration and Conference sponsors please see: http://www.asha.org.au/2018-asha-aima-conference
As part of the ARC Discovery Project Landscape of Production and Punishment: the Tasman Peninsula 1830-77, we are pleased to offer our second PhD Scholarship Opportunity to work with Prof. Martin Gibbs (UNE), A.Prof David Roberts (UNE) and Prof. Hamish Maxwell-Stewart (UTas), alongside staff of the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (Dr David Roe, Dr Jody Steele, Ms Susan Hood) and project Postdoctoral Fellow Dr Richard Tuffin on the historical archaeology of the Tasman Peninsula and the Port Arthur convict site. Further information about the project is available at: (https://www.une.edu.au/about-une/academic-schools/school-of-humanities/research/current-funded-research/landscapes-of-production-and-punishment) or in our recent paper: Tuffin, R., M. Gibbs, D. Roberts, H. Maxwell-Stewart, D. Roe, J. Steele, S. Hood and B. Godfrey 2018 'Landscapes of Production and Punishment: Convict labour in the Australian context', Journal of Social Archaeology 18(1): 50–76.
We are advertising the scholarship with two project possibilities (applicants should address which one they are interested in):
1. A historical archaeological study of Point Puer: Point Puer was the first purpose-built reforming institution for criminal boys in the British Empire (operating 1834-48). The project will focus on industrial training and outputs, drawing on extensive documentary sources as well as existing archaeological and museum records and material culture resources. Further survey of landscapes and structures may be required, although no further excavation is proposed. This project will closely align and work in conjunction with the main project and the other studies of industrial production at Port Arthur including material analyses.
2. A historical archaeological study of maritime infrastructure and operations at Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsula: Port Arthur and associated convict sites across the Tasman Peninsula relied heavily upon maritime transport and engaged in a variety of maritime industries and activities during the convict period. This project will explore the nature and role of the various maritime related activities associated with the convict era on the Tasman Peninsula, with a focus on maritime infrastructure and industrial sites including the dockyard and the extensive wharfs, jetties and facilities. The project will require re-evaluation and synthesis of previous studies, extensive additional archival research and analysis, further survey, and potentially analysis of structures and material culture, depending on the final form of the project. No excavation is proposed. This project will work in conjunction with the main project.
Applicants should have Honours or Masters level qualifications in archaeology and be concerned with the anthropological dimensions of the archaeological record. It is essential that applicants have well-developed skills in using historical documents in support of archaeological research as well as skills in artefact or structural analysis as relevant to the project they are applying for. The successful candidate will be expected to work under the direction of and in collaboration with the main project team. There will be a requirement for co-publication of results. The final form of the project will be determined through consideration of the skills of the candidate.
The successful candidate will be resident at UNE Armidale, with fieldwork in Tasmania as required. Funding will be made available for basic travel and accommodation. The Scholarship includes a 3-year full-time UNE funded PhD studentship providing tuition fees and living allowance stipend.Stipend is $26,682 per annum tax free for full-time internal students, paid in fortnightly installments.
To discuss this role please contact Professor Martin Gibbs, phone: (02) 6773 2656 or email: email@example.com.

Call for papers: People and the sea: current research on maritime interactions between Southeast Asia and the wider world
Session Chairs:
Dr Jennifer Rodrigues, Western Australian Museum (email@example.com)
Ms Abhirada Pook Komoot, University of Western Australia (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The interconnections of two major Oceans—the Indian and Pacific Oceans—have dominated Southeast Asian maritime heritage for thousands of years, enabling movement of, and interaction between, people, ideas and goods. Confirmation of the relationship between Southeast Asia with other regions is evidenced in the dispersal of Austronesian languages, spoken widely in Southeast Asia. Due to the sea providing travel routes to distant regions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the expansion of the languages suggests that people from Southeast Asia migrated to both sides—eastward to Oceania and Africa to the west. Furthermore, influences of maritime activities have spread beyond ports and maritime settlements. Research has revealed that mainland Southeast Asia including Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Vietnam also benefited from nautical skills through their complex riverine networks. Material traces from the hinterland and along coastal rims of both oceans, show that Southeast Asia has long been a dynamic region with an intense mix of cultures in its geographical crossroads. In ancient times, Southeast Asia was the only maritime gateway to China from the west. Research on maritime history in Southeast Asia, therefore, is crucial in defining the foundations of modern economic patterns.
This session welcomes researchers and young scholars from a wide range of fields and disciplines to share their work on Southeast Asia's maritime past. It aims to gain, and discuss, new insight into the maritime history of the region's connections with the wider world. Papers may include, but are not limited to, studies in material culture, traditional practices, and awareness-raising programmes through preservation and interpretation of the archaeological resources. Raising public awareness of the importance and potential of our maritime heritage can enrich our understanding of the past, and help forge cooperation and common ground for preserving and appreciating our shared heritage.
IPPA: Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association
Please send presentation abstract proposals (approx. 250 words) to both Session Chairs by end January 2018.
In October 2017, the Australian Government noted the discovery of the wreck of SS Macumba, sunk during the Second World War by Japanese air attack in the Arafura Sea north-east of Darwin. The wreckage has now been protected as a declared shipwreck under Australia's Historic Shipwrecks Act. The merchant ship SS Macumba left Sydney, carrying supplies for Darwin. It never arrived, with two Japanese floatplanes bombing the vessel on 6 August 1943, resulting in the loss of three lives. See http://www.environment.gov.au/minister/frydenberg/media-releases/mr20171005.html
Googong Foreshores Cultural and Geodiversity Heritage Areas, Burra (NSW) were added to the Commonwealth Heritage List (CHL) in November 2017. Quoting
from the summary statement of significance:
"The Googong Foreshores Cultural and Geodiversity Heritage Area has been listed as an important heritage place because of its ability to demonstrate the region's pastoral, Aboriginal, geological and natural history, including through its archaeological deposits. The place demonstrates a number of settlement and pastoral practices used in the area and wider region. The place and the buildings within it demonstrate past living conditions, rare nineteenth and early twentieth century historic building techniques and later evolution in building practice ... The London Bridge Arch and London Bridge Homestead building group are also valued for their aesthetic appeal appreciated by the local community."

A major part of Australian and New Zealand identity is made up of our spirit and ingenuity, our heritage places, and our unique living landscapes. Heritage is a legacy from our past, a living, integral part of life today, and the stories and places we pass on to future generations.
The EIANZ has recently established a Heritage Special Interest Section. Its aim is to develop and promote knowledge about heritage as an essential element of the environment as well as to improve professional practice and recognition of heritage practitioners.
To further these aims, we are seeking to compile the first heritage special issue of the EIANZ journal, the Australasian Journal of Environmental Management
(AJEM). The focus of the AJEM is on policy and practice, and we welcome submissions of abstracts on any aspect of these themes. Suggested topics
include, but are not limited to:
* Is policy and practice in Australia and New Zealand effectively protecting heritage?
* Are our heritage practices adequate to interpret and conserve the past, to help us understand our environment, and to pass that legacy on to the future?
* Engagement of stakeholders in heritage
* Case studies of successful collaborative projects where heritage has been integrated with other environmental practice
* How would effective policy for Intangible heritage and heritage landscapes look?
* Multiple uses for heritage
* What is heritage anyway?
Submission Process:
Papers will be reviewed following the AJEM double‐blind review process. Expressions of interest to publish, along with an abstract, should be submitted to the guest editors, Richard Sharp FEIANZ CEnvP and Vanessa Hardy MEIANZ M.ICOMOS by 20 February 2018. Following acceptance of the EOI and abstract, full papers should be submitted by 30 August 2018 by online submission to the Australasian Journal of Environmental Management Scholar One Manuscripts. Papers should be prepared using the AJEM Guidelines. The guest editors welcome informal enquiries related to the proposed topics.

Nominations Open For New Technology Commendations
Nominations Still Open For New Technology Commendations - Media Statement
New Zealand's innovative businesses still have time to submit their nominations for the Technology Commendations.
The Technology Commendations recognise and celebrate companies that have grown their business and benefited the economy through the successful, commercial adoption of innovative technology. An initiative by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, the Commendations are now in their second round.
"These awards promote the link between innovative technology and commercial success we hope they will encourage businesses to adopt innovative technology," said Gowan Pickering, interim Chief Executive of the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.
"So far we have had a very positive response from New Zealand businesses."
Enquiries have come from around the country, from businesses whose activities range from sports goods and marketing to forestry and horticulture. "The nomination and evaluation procedure is straightforward. We want nominations from innovative companies in all fields, not just from companies where the Foundation has provided financial or other assistance," Mr Pickering said.
"Any commercial organisation or company with a significant New Zealand presence, whose operations benefit the New Zealand economy, is eligible to apply for a Commendation. However, to be considered for a Commendation, they have to demonstrate the link between their commercial success and the adoption of innovative technology."
Companies themselves can make an application, or can be nominated by other businesses or individuals, providing the nominated company's chief executive signs the nomination form.
The Foundation will continue to accept nominations until March 23rd.

Nigeria is winning against Boko Haram, says Obasanjo
Shettima blames Jonathan for delayed rescue of Chibok girls
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said the Nigerian nation is winning the war against Boko Haram insurgency that has claimed many lives and property in the North-East sub-region of the country.
He said that the military and other security agencies were on the ascendancy over the forces of destruction, menace and dangers of terrorism and insurgency that has lasted for over six years in the country.
Obasanjo spoke yesterday when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State at the Government House,
Maiduguri. He said: "There is no doubt that with the combined efforts at the local, state and federal levels; and even at the community level, our security forces are on the ascendancy over the forces of destruction, the menace and dangers of Boko Haram insurgency that we have experienced for almost six years now."
He lamented that "There is no family in this state that has not suffered loss," asking the governor to accept his condolences and those of his entire family "in these difficult times of grief and trauma."
He said Shettima and the entire people of the state had "shown what can be done if people resolve not to give way to evil and we must pray for the repose of the souls of those that have lost their lives during the six-year insurgency and terrorism."
While praising the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari in tackling insurgency and terrorism, Obasanjo said: "Talking to the president about the issue of insurgency in particular and insecurity in general, I know that he is very concerned and not only concerned, he has got it right.
Today, now I think we are not out of the woods yet but it would appear that we can see the light beyond the tunnel. There is no
family in this state that has not suffered loss.' '
He said that once the retrieved territories were cleared of mines, then the massive socio-economic rehabilitation and development of the whole areas that have been devastated would take place.
Responding, Shettima paid glowing tribute to the leadership qualities of the former president, insisting that the Boko Haram
crisis would not have so badly degenerated if he were at the helm during the outbreak of the insurgency.
He added that had Obasanjo been in power the Chibok schoolgirls would not have been in captivity till now even as he lamented that it took President Goodluck Jonathan 19 days after the kidnap of the girls to call him on phone on the issue.
He said testimonies of former governors showed that the former president was on top of security issues in all the states of the country and at various times averted what could have been major security breaches.
He said: "Without the Nigerianness in you, this country would have been divided along religious lines between 2001 and 2003 when hate brewed from the north to the south over our diversity of faith.
Your Excellency, Sir, the majority of Nigerians salute you; we adore and respect you and we shall forever be grateful to you for standing for the unity, continued existence and the recovery of Nigeria when
Nigerians needed you most."

Key Questions to Ask Your Financial Advisor While Running a Business
It's normal for a financial advisor to ask you questions regarding your business the first time you go for a consultation.
They do that to determine how they can help you resolve your financial matters.
However, what about the questions that a business owner should be asking? If you don't have a financial background, you'll be clueless about what you should ask your financial advisor. Business owners should also ask questions that can help in planning for better results. Here are a few questions that you can ask your financial advisor as a business owner.
1. What services can I expect from you as your client?
This is the first question any business owner should ask a financial advisor, in answer of which they will provide a walk-through of all the services they offer. They may offers a wide range of services, such as income tax, bookkeeping, financial planning, investment management, and others. You can even ask them to create a budget plan for the next five years according to your current financial position. Listen to what they have to say, and put forward your needs to reach a mutual contract.
2. How do you charge your clients?
The answer you should be looking for is a fee-only method. You'll come across many advisors who will ask for a commission plus fee, but don't fall into the trap. There are numerous financial advisors willing to work for a particular fixed fee. Their key objective should be to make as much money as they can for your business. If the commission factor is added, the advisor's primary focus will be to earn as much commission as they can.
3. How far am I from my goal?
You should explain all your goals and objectives, which you have set for your business, to your financial advisor. Ask them how you can reach your goals and how long it will take. The plans and budgets that they make for your business will indicate all future tactics that need to be adapted to progress. At any time after hiring a financial advisor, ask them this particular question to get an analysis of your current position and the improvements required in the process. They will also provide you insights into better opportunities that you can pursue for better results.
4. What should my primary focus be in the upcoming quarter/year?
Many business owners aren't very good at analysing the market trends or economic shifts that take place. That's where a financial advisor comes in; to guide you by providing helpful suggestions and future plans to help you survive. They inform you before time about any change that is about to take place, so that you can plan accordingly. If a financial advisor fails to provide you with market forecasts, then it's better to replace them or their firm.
5. Is it the right time to invest?
Businesses generate a lot of revenue and retained earnings that are stored in their bank accounts. Instead of increasing your bank balance, you should invest by purchasing shares from the stock market, expanding your venture, or by starting another business.
However, it's preferable to consult a financial advisor before making such a move. Business owners are so busy in overseeing their day-to-day operations that they sometimes don't have time to study the prevailing market conditions. So instead of making a blind move, ask your financial advisor to provide you with a detailed report and suggestions regarding your investment plans. They will inform you about better alternatives and help determine the right time to invest.
Availing the services of a financial advisor is becoming a common trend amongst top business leaders. They provide their clients with helpful financial reports and budget forecasts that can come in handy when making important business decisions.

For over a year I have been following this local jewelery company called Soulfari and I just love all of her designs. I had the chance to meet her a couple of times at events and was instantly drawn to her warm demeanour and wanted to get to know her more. I finally got the chance to hang out with Sarah and ask her more about her brand, and I even got the chance to photograph her! She is a dream to photograph and so much fun to hang out with!
First are some images we snapped of some of her recent work followed by our interview. (she is very inspiring, you will want to read on)
Who are you? Sarah Anderson from Saskatoon Saskatchewan, the founder of the local jewelry company Soulfari.
How did you come up with Soulfari as your company name? It's a word I made up by combining the words "soul" and "safari". I think that the journey in life itself is really important and the same thing goes towards my jewelry. It's sort of a philosophy that is woven through everything that I do. A meaningful journey is essentially what it means.
What was the first piece that you ever remember creating? About 7 years ago my younger brother actually brought home some great glass beads and stretchy cord from Michaels to do a project with my mom. I loved them, so I went to Michaels and bought some more supplies and that's when it all started. I started creating more and more, and then people started asking me to make them for them and from there it just spiralled.
How long has Soulfari been around? Soulfari was founded 3 years ago.
Where do you get your influences? I get them EVERYWHERE I go, I keep my eyes open. I look for design in the world around me from natural things (i.e. plants), buildings, everything around me. My brain is constantly searching for things. I use an app called Evernote to keep track of things that inspire me. I'm also very influenced by world culture. I love the vibrant colours of India, Turkish styles, and Moroccan style. A bit more locally to Saskatchewan I also really enjoy our local aboriginal style with the beaded designs and the bone and natural materials. I like to fuse it all together.
What else keeps you busy besides creating beautiful pieces for your jewellery line? Music is a HUGE part of my life, I play trombone mostly but I also play ukulele, violin and I sing. The genre I usually play is funk/soul/jazz. With Jazz Festival coming up in Saskatoon I'm extremely busy with rehearsals in preparation. I also teach arts ed at an elementary school with kindergarten to gr. 8. I love spending time with my husband (also a musician) and taking my dog Apollo on bike rides, he's a huskie/shepherd and he's amazing.
What was a specific moment in your journey as a jewellery designer that made you proud? I was on Global TV and it was my first real interview which was very exciting for me. It felt real to me at that moment, it validated what I do a little bit more. It was exciting to share my work.
A lesson learned about starting a business venture: Don't stop learning! I am constantly trying to improve and fine tune everything I do. Whether it's craftsmanship and design for my business, or researching tips for instagram you have to keep moving. You have to constantly get better in all areas and keep it fresh. I'm even heading to Vancouver in the fall to take Graphic Design for a year to improve my skills in that area and apply it to my business. I love learning!
Any advice you have for someone wanting to take their art/skill to the next level? It is really important to always remember why you started doing what you do. Quite often with handmade things people start it as a hobby and they do it because they enjoy the sheer act of making what they are making. Then when you start taking it to the next level you have to deal with the business side of things and people don't always enjoy that part as much. You have to answer emails, market yourself, get things ordered, pay bills it's a very different side of things and not as artistic. It's important when things get a bit crazy on the business side to remember that feeling you get when your making something. For me when Im creating I'm so happy, I'm in the zone, hours will go by - my scope gets so finely tuned to what I'm doing the whole world just turns off. I love putting what's in my head into real form and manifesting it into a piece that you can wear, and then be able to share.
Whats the next step for the future of Soulfari? I would love to get my stuff into retail locations, starting with Saskatoon.
Where can we buy your product? www.soulfarijewelry.com and at a Salon called Rock Paper Scissors in Saskatoon. I also set up at events and festivals often, follow me on instagram @soulfarijewelry to find out where I'll be next.
Below is a little taste of the beauty you will see if you follow her on instagram!

I've been invited by the Central Florida Woodworkers Guild to give a weekend seminar on what I call PRACTICAL FURNITURE MAKING, followed by a 2 day class on ELEGANT DETAILS.
Why are some pieces of furniture so appealing, elegant, and well made? Design is a factor, but so are the many choices the maker makes, which techniques, joints, woods, and details. We will explore this building process, looking at design, hand tools, strong joinery, wonderful details, and how to work efficiently and accurately — practical stuff and very useful.
Any related topic is fair game....... and we will have lots of fun.

Two terms combined to create another.
Simple, right?
Hardly. Let's break each down one by one–or at least attempt to.
To say that there are countless available definitions of both "queer" and "modernism" is something of an understatement; every commentator who uses either or both term essentially creates a new one, tailored to her or his particular purposes, methodologies, and needs. The definitions I provide below are certainly no different, and in light of the expansive, composite, and conditional aspect of online writing and blog-keeping–as opposed to, say, a published piece–I present here my own understanding of each term. Please consider them less as categorical statements than provisional conjectures always undergoing a process of further refinement.
Like practically every other scholar who uses "queer" (as opposed to "lesbian and gay" or "LGBT") to describe the general orientation of their interests and personal identity, my own understanding of the term begins first and foremost with Eve Kosofsky Sedgewick's foundational essay "Queer and Now" where she writes that "one of the things 'queer' can refer to" is:
"the open mesh of possibilities, gaps, overlaps, dissonances and resonances, lapses and excesses of meaning when the constituent elements of anyone's gender, of anyone's sexuality aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically" (8).
An "open mesh of possibilities" might very well sum up, at least at an elemental level, my own understanding of "queer." Terms like "gay" or "lesbian" or "LGBT" or even the more expansive "LGBTQ" all nonetheless denote very specific types of relational and/or gender categories: male/male, female/female, etc. "Queer" is by design more ambiguous, containing at once all these types of connections, as well as allowing the possibility for countless other alternatives, configurations, and arrangements. At its most broad, "queer" can end up encompassing anything that deviates from standards of what is considered "normal" or "natural" by the dominant culture.
This links directly back to the original meanings of the word "queer." The Oxford English Dictionary attests that the term was being applied as a noun to denote "a homosexual" since at least the end of the nineteenth century, but the much older connotations of its use of a adjective are just as crucial: "strange," "odd," "peculiar," and "eccentric" are just a few of the many synonyms provided:
[Source: Oxford English Dictionary]
The current use of the term in contemporary Queer Theory, however, deliberately attempts to retain the associations of the latter definition, despite–or perhaps because of–their traditionally negative connotations. This is a major way in which "queer" distinguishes itself from both "lesbian and gay" and "LGBT," with "queer" containing a general disinterest in participating in the respectability politics (that is, the attempt to demonstrate that LGBT-identified individuals are no different than "normal"–that is, heterosexual–people) that has been so central to the post-Stonewall LGBT political movement. While fully recognizing the importance of this as an effective political strategy, from which I myself have deeply benefited from, when applied to art and creative activity in general I often find it too limiting and prescriptive.1
If "queer" required extensive explanation, then I could literally allot this entire blog to try and describe what "modernism" can mean and run out of space (there's a reason why there are library shelves full of doorstop-size "introductions" and "guides" to modernism). In his preface to the Encyclopedia of Literary Modernism, Paul Poplawski emphasizes the sheer impossibility of providing any specific definition of the term, writing that "there is no universal consensus on precisely what constitutes modernism," and that "the name itself remains radically unstable, shifting in meaning according to who uses it, when, where and in what context (viii).
As there is so much helpful and important scholarship already available on this topic, I have instead opted to list some reading suggestions at the bottom of this page, but in brief: modernism is generally agreed to have started sometime toward the end of the nineteenth century and extends through 1960 and the onset of "postmodernism" (a whole other vast subject in and of itself!). Furthermore, is also more or less recognized as a larger ideological shift in Western culture–though there has been interesting recent scholarship reexamining this long held perspective–that deeply affected not only aesthetics, art, and culture but all facets of life in the first half of the twentieth century (including science, social science, politics, religion, technology, psychology, and more).
In regards to literary modernism, until relatively recently it was common to apply the term only to a very specific group of individuals, movements, and creatives practices: Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and James Joyce are the figures that generally loom largest in these first accounts (along with artists in other mediums such as Picasso, Duchamp, and Stravinsky); Pound's exhortation to "make it new!"2 became the rallying cry for several generations of writers and artists who strove to break away from the high value traditionally placed on unity, refinement, mimeticism, and beauty in art. Modernism instead celebrated abstraction, fragmentation, reflexivity, and other types of creative experimentation.
Also key is critic and essayist Clement Greenberg's 1939 essay "Avant-garde and Kitsch," in which he contends that
"the avant-garde poet or artist tries in effect to imitate God by creating something valid solely on its own terms, in the way nature itself is valid, in the way a landscape–not its picture–is aesthetically valid; something given, increate, independent of meanings, similars or originals. Content is to be dissolved so completely into form that the work of art or literature cannot be reduced in whole or in part to anything not itself" (6).
Greenberg's arguments became so widely accepted that all types of art that fell outside these specific standards of abstraction were comparatively devalued and if not outright ignored. For example, most scholars today would rank Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein as just as crucial as Pound, Eliot, and Joyce to any understanding of literary modernism, but it wasn't until the 1960's and the development of feminist criticism that their work became recognized as such, which also prompted serious study of work by women, queers, artists of color, and other marginalized individuals. Which leads directly to:
At this point I hope it should be somewhat clear what combining these two words together possibly means. A term that has been gaining increasing currency in modernist studies and academia in particular, there are now whole book chapters and encyclopedia entries devoted to "queer modernism," as well as issues of academic journals exploring various aspects of the topic.3
The rubric I personally follow here on this blog and in my academic work in general is that "queer modernism" can essentially be applied to any non-heterosexual artists and the work they produced. Sometimes it's not clear what exactly a specific person's sexual preferences and behaviors were, and thus the presence what appears to be a queer "sensibility" or "gaze" and/or their social connections to other known queer artists can justify their inclusion under the banner of queer modernism (consider the case of enigmatic visual artists Joseph Cornell and Florine Stettheimer, for instance). On this point, my own tendency is toward inclusivity, especially since many individuals who can be categorized as queer modernists participated in the extensive transatlantic social networks the established among themselves, and which also included heterosexual friends and colleagues that we would understand today as "straight allies" (Mina Loy's extensive affiliation with the lesbian community of 1920's Paris perhaps best exemplifies this dynamic). To select material solely based on the gender a person went to bed with not only fails to account for a complete and topical view of the era, but is fundamentally opposed to the ideals that the concept of "queer" espouses.
At the same time, I do maintain a strong investment (both on this blog and in my academic work in general), in the significance of non-normative relationships, bodies, sexual acts, desires, and behaviors to queerness. A common critique of Queer Theory is that it has wandered too far away from its roots within the LGBTQ community and their sexual identity and behaviors, and this is a view I am sympathetic to. One of the great conundrums of "queer" is that anything non-normative can be queer, but not everything that is non-normative involves same-sex or trans* bodies and/or behaviors. My approach is that anything that strikes me as "queer" is fair game on this blog, but I will almost always prioritize material that foregrounds or directly links in some way to LGBTQ priorities.
Because something that endlessly fascinates me as I continue to study this subject and those involved is the degree in which the queer modernists were friends, colleagues, collaborators, and very often lovers, establishing networks of support socially but also for their artistic ventures. Often opposing the subjective standards of taste-makers such as Pound, Eliot, Greenberg, et al, they created alternative spaces for themselves to live and love and create in. And reconsidering their accomplishments through the lens of queer modernism often allows us to begin noticing how these artists were often following Pound's dictum to "make it new"–it just often happened to not be the type of "new" Pound & co. wanted, let alone appreciated.
And, finally, why "queer modernisms" instead of the singular "queer modernism?" In short, to help prevent falling into the type of critical pitfalls I condemn above. With increased recognition of the aesthetic multiplicity that occurred during the modernist period, Poplawski has written that many commentators "now prefer to talk of discrete and disparate 'modernisms' rather than of one overarching 'modernism'" (viii). Obviously, this is a view that I share as well. While I think that there are certain qualities and patterns that can be detected in most queer modernist art, what I love–and frankly, what keeps me continuously interested and surprised by this era–is the vast range of approaches, topics, and styles that queer artists adopted throughout the modernist period.
And as it is my contention that despite all the recent effort to recognize the achievements of the queer modernists, too many remain not only underrecognized but simply unrecognized in general (until recently, many didn't even have Wikipedia pages!). It is my goal for this blog to play some small part in beginning to correct this situation.
1. Respectability politics is also eager to minimize and obscure the rich tradition of pre-Stonewall queer art-making that emphasizes failure, loss, suffering, and the complex realities of the closet. As introductions I highly recommend J. Halberstam's The Queer Art of Failure and Heather Love's Feeling Backwards: Loss and the Politics of Queer History ↩

Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina
The property has a vintage appeal that works well for active travellers looking for comfort and simplicity. If you spend most of your days on the water – diving, fishing and boating – it is particularly pleasant to have such a quiet and restful place to retire in the evening.
- Noelle Nicolls, Destination expert
Bimini Big Game is on the main Queen's Highway in Alice Town, North Bimini. Don't think big city highway; the island is only seven miles (11 km) long and about 700 feet (210 m) wide. Bimini's beauty once inspired Martin Luther King Jr and Ernest Hemingway but today, however, it has lost some of its physical charm. The Queen's Highway, the main tourist thoroughfare, is dusty and starved of landscaping. There are few sidewalks and many rundown buildings that make the island look a little depressed. Staying at Bimini Big Game, though, it is not about the location – guests tend to spend their time on the water.
Nothing on the island is truly far away, either. Resorts World Bimini is just a mile and a half (2.5 km) away. Most of the island's aquatic attractions, including the must-see SS Sapona shipwreck, are easily accessible for the resort's marina.
Style & character
Bimini Big Game Club is an historic hotel which was built in the 1940s. Fish are never out of sight: in the walkways, indoor communal spaces and bedrooms there are paintings, mainly of blue marlins, everywhere. Many of them are great works of art; some are just branded space fillers.
The resort is designed around a poolside courtyard and hammock garden. The buildings are on the periphery, with the restaurant overlooking the marina. The style is that of a boutique motel: rooms lined up along three long corridors stacked three-stories high, recognisable by their distinct yellow-stone walls with royal blue trimming.
Service & facilities
The resort's dive shop is its best facility, where I experienced good service. Planning day excursions on the water – boating, fishing or diving – is convenient with the help of the dive instructors on staff. They looked up my ancient Padi certification and organised a thoroughly enjoyable snorkelling day. There is no beach on property, but the pool is a welcome alternative for cooling down.
- Parking
- Restaurant
- Bar
- Laundry
- Pool
- Wi-Fi
There are three room categories. The penthouse suite is not as luxurious as the name suggests, but rather snug and homely, with a cosy couch, a sauna and spacious bathroom. It is a remarkable step up from the 35 standard king and queen rooms, which are still spacious enough for a couch and coffee table. The cement floors and area rugs make the rooms look unfinished, but they are otherwise painted in bright colours. All have balconies or verandas facing the pool. Standard rooms only have showers.
The one-bedroom cottages are standalone buildings nestled in the hammock garden. They have optional connecting guestrooms and are equipped with complete kitchenettes and bar counters. These rooms offer the most privacy.
Food & drink
The menu is a mishmash of cuisines – with chili, coconut curry, fettuccini and Jamaican jerk options – but the food is nonetheless reliably good and enjoyed on the waterfront. I recommend the catch of the day – as this is a fishing resort you are likely to be treated with a spectacular choice of fish such as grouper, wahoo or tuna.
For breakfast, Bimini French Toast is a good way to sample the locally made Bimini bread you will hear everyone talking about. On Thursdays, the ocean breeze delivers the charred smell of the grill from the marina-side Shark Bar – make sure you sample basil and parmesan buttered grilled corn or Bahamian grilled conch.
Value for money
Double rooms from BSD 234 (£154) in low season; and from BSD 270 (£178) in high. Cottages from BSD 270 (£178) in low season; and from BSD 318 (£210) in high. Penthouse suites from BSD 440 (£290). Breakfast excluded. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
There are no special facilities for guests with disabilities.
The cottages can accommodate families, but there are no special activities or amenities to cater to children.

By Alex Comstock
It was so close. Right there, just out of reach. And then it happened again, this time just too dark. We almost did it. Me and my hunting buddy Tyler almost were able to put an arrow through a mature buck. Twice. Here's what went down last week..
Friday September 23rd: It was a rainy, drizzly, cold day. The type of day you'd expect a mature buck to be on his feet. I checked a few trail cameras and got pictures of the buck we call "Shaq". If you've been following along, you know all about him. The pictures told me that he was still in the area after shedding his velvet (1st hard horned pictures I had of him) and I thought if there was ever a day he would move it would be Friday. He never showed, but we almost got it done on another buck. With a SE wind, me and Tyler headed into a stand we haven't hunted much in his area. It's on the very corner of a green field, with a bean field adjacent to us. I was behind the camera, with Tyler having the bow in hand.
The night didn't start out the best. Around 5:30pm, we watched a trespasser cross the large field and walk into the woods a couple hundred yards ahead of us. The woods are public, but to access his stand, he walked across the hundreds of yards of private land. We were a little bummed, but figured we'd be alright. At about 6:40pm the parade started. First a few small bucks, then a couple doe's, and another small buck. By this time the rain and wind had really picked up and the weather was miserable.
Sunset was at 7:30pm, and minutes before that a buck popped out of the woods roughly 100 yards away, and headed towards us. I got the camera on him, and knew it was a shooter. The buck leisurely fed in the field for a few seconds, took a couple more steps, and then got downwind of the other hunter who was sitting in the woods. And just like that, he took off towards the beans and out of our lives, never coming any closer than 80 yards. I tossed a few grunts at him in despair, but he wasn't having it. I quickly reviewed the footage, and realized it was a buck we call Kobe. We've got many trail camera pictures of him about a half mile away all summer long, but he hadn't been on the radar as of late. The next day was calling for the same wind, so we were going to go back after him.
Saturday September 24th: Saturday was much warmer, but there were major storms rolling in Saturday night, so we thought there would be a decent chance that buck would be on his feet again. And we were right. Except this time, he popped out of the same exact spot, but just minutes after last shooting light when we were packing up. He knew something was up, and headed to the beans quickly. It felt like we were so close, yet so far away with harvesting this buck. What I do know, is he is still using the area as his fall range, and I will keep hunting him as well.
We did hunt that area Sunday and Monday as well, but in a slightly different spot due to a wind shift, and did not have an encounter with this buck. I am taking the rest of the week off of hunting, and heading to Nebraska tomorrow to hunt the weekend. I think giving the area a break from hunting pressure will be a good thing, and when I'm back, I need to figure out a way to hunt this buck effectively as he seems like a killable deer.
Hopefully by the next journal entry, I will have a better idea how I'll do this, and start making a game plan as we come into October.

Tramore Racecourse
Racing at Tramore originally took place on the beach in 1785, but due to the stormy seas disrupting racing it was moved to its current location at Graun Hill in 1911, where racing still takes place today.
A tough right-handed course Tramore undulating track is one-mile in length and has a very stiff uphill finish.
The County Waterford course holds several meetings throughout the year, with its highlight coming in August, where a four-day festival takes place. Another star attraction is Tramore's two-day meeting on New Year's and New Year's Day which attract bumper crowds.
One fact about Tramore is that it was to hold the first race of the new Millennium, where a record crowd of 11,000 turned up.
Address: Tramore, Co Waterford, Ireland
Flat: Tight, right-handed, undulating track.
Road: 1km outside the town of Tramore, 13km from Waterford. From Cork follow signposts for Tramore located a few miles before the city. All other routes come over bridge into Waterford and follow signs for Tramore
Rail: Plunkett station in Waterford; trains from Dublin Heuston, Limerick and Rosslare. Regular bus service to track
Air: Waterford (12km)

Professional teeth whitening is faster, more effective, and longer lasting that treatments you find over the counter. As we age, our teeth darken over time. We can brighten your teeth by five to ten shades in a single session, but maintaining good oral hygiene and steering away from certain foods and beverages will help keep any future whitening services to a minimum.
A special tray is made using a mould of your mouth and we provide you with a kit to use in the comfort of your own home. Using bleaching gel inside the tray, you wear this overnight over a period of a few weeks, coming in for regular checks by your dentist until the desired level is reached.

|Temporal Changes in Post-Discharge Risk among Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure: An EVEREST Story
|Wednesday, September 3, 2014 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Ryan Zea
Abstract: Studies have shown patients suffering from a heart failure hospitalization are at higher risk for an adverse event in the first 90 days post-discharge. This claim has led to the conclusion of a vulnerable phase for these patients. The vulnerable phase hypothesis has ties to research, health care, and quality of care initiatives. However, as the case with chronic diseases, shouldn't risk continue to increase over time? A post-hoc analysis of the Efficacy of Vasopressin Antagonism in Heart Failure Outcome Study With Tolvaptan (EVEREST) trial, may show just that.
