Reaching Buenos Aires we found ourselves immersed in a new exotic culture. It had been some 4 months since we were last in a non-English speaking country and we found the bustle of Buenos Aires very different to the tranquilly of New Zealand. The city had an energetic pulse, and we had to be much more aware of our surroundings. Taking advice we stayed in one of the nicer areas called Palermo which is slightly out of the CBD to the west.
Neither of us favour cities and we spent the first few days leisurely sightseeing. Across the city there are many early European-styled colonial buildings, but what was immediately noticeable to our eye was the omnipresent graffiti. Not the artistic murals that brightened up Christchurch's battered buildings, but the mindless tags of bored teenagers and local gangs. The pavements were terrible to negotiate; haphazard levels, badly broken tiles, covered in rubbish, full of pot holes and dog poo!
But we did manage to beat the heat, see some sights, eat plenty of amazing beef steaks (less than £5 a pop) and attempt to master some basic Spanish.
Obelisco on Av 9 de Julio - the widest thoroughfare in the world at 8 lanes each way plus a pedestrianised central promenade!
The image of Eva Peron adorns the television studios on Av 9 de Julio
Baroque frontage of the Catedral Metropoliana
Walking towards the Casa Rosada - presidents offices and where Evita Peron preached from balcony
A pleasent promenade along the Old Port, redeveloped in the 1990s and home to ARA Presidente Sarmiento. A museum ship, originally built as a training ship for the Argentine Navy and named after Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, the seventh President of Argentina. She is considered to be the last intact cruising training ship from the 1890s and built in good old blighty!
Some things are still best made in the North West
Portenos (the locals) love tango.. So we also took some lessons! The tango was very easy to learn and we both found the lessons really enjoyable. From complete beginners we learnt how to master some set moves and dance tango on our own. In the end we felt good enough to join a Melonga (open public tango dance space) session in a square in San Telmo. We were also lucky enough to see a show, put on for tips in a cafe.
BA is a vibrant city, plenty to see, plenty to do and worth having eyes in the back of your head just in case. But we found no trouble and had a blast.

Were able to see all of the main attractions in Stockholm in a very efficient fashion.
A good way to explore Stockholm when you first arrive. Audio commentary gives a basic intro to the city, and the bus gets you to all the key areas for sightseeing. Winter times are quite restrictive and buses are not all that frequent. Route map provided doesn't clearly show location of bus stops. Not really any difference in cost between advance booking and buy on bus, so don't feel pressurized to book online before you arrive.

Impact of Fed's Interest Rate Hike on Loans: What Borrowers Need to Know
As the world expected, U.S. Federal Reserve policy makers today raised the short-term, benchmark federal funds rate for the first time since 2006, lifting it from a range of "0 to 0.25 percent" to ".25 to .50 percent."
The Fed's rate had been at "near zero" since December 2008 in order to stimulate growth during the financial crisis and Great Recession, and throughout the slow but relatively steady economic recovery of the past five years.
The move is slight, but policy makers separately project a rate of 1.375 percent by the end of 2016, potentially indicating four quarter-point increases over the next year. And major banks have already begun raising their "prime rate," or base rate for consumer loans, by a quarter percentage point, or .25 percent. Loans carrying a variable rate tied to the prime rate will be immediately affected.
In one way or another, sooner or later, the Fed's rate hike, although only a quarter of a percent for now, will affect most U.S. consumers who borrow money. That includes anyone with a credit card, a mortgage, a car loan, a student loan or a range of available personal loans via traditional banks or upstart online lenders. Because of the rate hike's ripple effect, investors in stocks and bonds will also need to keep a close eye on their portfolios.
Here's a rundown on the degree of impact today's Fed rate hike will have on typical consumer financial products.
1. Fixed-Rate Mortgages and auto loans: Not much change for now; rates still historically low.
The so-called "big ticket" financial products, mainly fixed-rate mortgages and auto loans, won't feel the affect of the Fed's first short-term rate hike right away. (Variable-rate mortgages will likely start rising in the short-term). Overall, even fixed-rate mortgages are poised to gradually increase over the next year — likely over 4 percent on average for the 30-year fixed loan. Borrowers have enjoyed fixed mortgage rates in historically low territory for five years or so. Currently, the 30-year average is just under 4 percent.
In comparison, mortgage rates ten years ago were closer to 6.5 percent and 20 years ago 7.0 percent. The Fed sets the target rate for very short-term debt. But it also influences interest rates on longer-term debt like mortgages and car loans.
Consumers shopping for new or used vehicles might see slightly higher rates over the next few months. But rates on auto loans and leases should not increase substantially, especially for borrowers with good-to-excellent credit. U.S. auto sales have been on a record run this year. Even a slight bump in loan rates might slow down the momentum.
2. Credit cards: Likely yes, so keep balances low to zero.
Credit card borrowers are most susceptible to changes in the federal funds rate. Credit card issuers routinely charge rates — as do providers of adjustable-rate mortgages and home equity lines of credit — that are pegged to the prime rate. And the prime rate moves with the federal funds rate. Prime is 3.25 percent today, and many credit card issuers add a certain percent on top of the prime to set the annual percentage rate, or APR.
For those borrowers who keep credit card balances low, or even better, pay them off regularly, a 0.25 percent increase in an APR is not a big issue. But for those who carry a balance month to month, the higher rate affects the full balance, including new purchases.
3. Student Loans. Yes, but it depends on whether they're private or federal, and whether they're based on market-pegged variable rates. For most borrowers, the Fed rate hike will have no effect on their federal student loan rates. The reason: federal student loans paid out since July 1, 2006 carry a fixed interest rate, meaning the rate on the loan is already set for the entire term of the loan. But fixed rates on new federal student loans are determined according to a formula based on the auction of 10-year Treasury notes each year for loans disbursed on July 1 through the following June 30. If the market has pushed up the rate on these short-term Treasuries, then you will see a bump up in rates, but it will likely be a marginal move.
Many borrowers with federal student loans paid out before July 1, 2006, face variable rates. That means the interest rates on those loans fluctuate based on a market benchmark rate. So there will also be a slight impact for them as well. Student borrowers who opted for the private market could also see slightly higher rates, especially if those loans carry variable rates also tied to a market benchmark.
4. Savings bank accounts. Yes. And that's welcome news for savers.
The big positive about a Fed rate hike is its impact on savings accounts or certificates of deposit, which have earned almost zero interest in the last seven years. That should begin to change over the next year or two, although gradually. However, big banks won't offer customers higher interest on savers' deposits right away, experts say. It will likely take one to two years to feel the impact. So savers, be patient because there's a higher rate of return at the end of the rainbow for that sunny day.
5. Stocks and bonds. The markets might get a little volatile for a while.
If you invest in stocks and bonds — as many Americans do via their 401(k)s — a Fed rate hike will definitely have an impact on your portfolio. It warrants a consult with your financial adviser on the right mix of stocks and bonds moving forward, as the Fed decides to gradually raise rates over the next year. The Fed's moves could fuel volatility in both stock and bond markets, which are already feeling the highs and lows of market jitters.

To Watch: Proof Positive That You Can (And Will) Live Your Best Life From A Camper Van In New Zealand
After leaving Queenstown, we drove three hours north to Mt. Cook Village, located within New Zealand's Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and home to the country's highest mountain.
There is no shortage of outdoor activities to participate in here, but if you are short on time make sure you check out the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre and hike Hooker Valley Track. Here's why.
The spot: Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre
The lowdown: Grab a hot coffee or glass of wine in the cafe and check out the movies in the planetarium.
A tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary, humanitarian, ambassador and one of the world's greatest explorers, the center showcases the Aoraki Mount Cook region, its people and its place in the universe.
The Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre's theater is the world's only theater with 2D, 3D and a Digital Dome Planetarium, contained within the same space (it's as cool as it sounds).
In the foyer of the theater you'll find the history of the Mount Cook region through transport, climbing, The Hermitage Hotel and pioneer extraordinaire, Sir Edmund Hillary himself.
Open daily from 7.30am to 8.30pm (summer) and 8.00am to 7.00pm (winter).
The spot: Hooker Valley Track
The lowdown: Depending on how far you go, the hike can take anywhere from 1.5 – 4 hours through the most epic beauty you have ever laid your eyes on. This was one of the highlights of our trip and worth the entire flight to New Zealand.
You'll journey across 2 swing bridges, climb high to feast on magnificent views, and hop across rocks on the flowing river. If there is one thing you do during your time in New Zealand, let this be it.
Difficulty: Easy
Tip: A short hour drive from Mt. Cook Village, you can experience the massive turquoise lake, Lake Tekapo. It's worth the drive.

ON AIR - Night Time Network
There was good and bad news from the Ireland Rugby training session in Cardiff today.
Johnny Sexton took part in a supervised training session. He's trying to recover from an adductor strain but Keith Earls, who took a knock to his right arm in the win over France, sat the session out.
Ireland scrum coach, Greg Feek, says: "Johnny did about three and a half kilometers running which is a positive. We're quietly confident doing that and we'll see how he goes again on Friday."
As for Keith Earls Feek was again cautiously optimistic: "We're going to see how he goes. It's not too bad. He's just a bit battered, it's nothing too major.
"At this stage we want to do our best to get everyone fit and available. This week is obviously a quarter-final and the players themselves will want to train this week. It's just making sure we can get to that point and that they can do it. You need to know what you're doing, you want to be organised and the guys around you want to have that trust as well."

Autre Ne Veut Announces Age of Transparency, Shares Fleshy "World War Pt. 2" Video
Arthur Ashin: "...Truth and transparency are just ways to sell things and honesty is its own kind of performance."
Arthur Ashin is back with a new Autre Ne Veut album called Age of Transparency. The Anxiety follow-up is out October 2 via Downtown. The first single he's shared from the album is "World War Pt. 2", and it comes with a video directed by Allie Avital. The video features an entirely nude Ashin, who has a nude woman (portrayed by Macy Sullivan) latched onto him.
The album—described as part two in a trilogy of albums—was produced by Ashin and mixed by Tony Maserati (Beyoncé, Notorious B.I.G., Lady Gaga). In a statement, Ashin discussed the album's themes.
The title comes from marketing jargon. It's a term for the place we're in now, where truth and transparency are just ways to sell things and honesty is its own kind of performance. ... Transparency is an impossibility. It's more about trying to be transparent and falling on your face in the process.
The album's sessions began at Manhattan's Avatar Studios, where Ashin recorded with a jazz combo. "I've been listening to jazz since I was a kid and wanted to experiment with it," he said in a statement. "For me, it taps into this comforting and antiquated image of the truth." Back at his home studio, he heavily edited that source material.

The importance of post-machining inspection/
As we've discussed previously in this blog, machining is an integral part of the aluminium sand casting process – allowing us to introduce specific features onto the part and giving the exact dimensions and finish required. This is not possible during the actual casting process due to the very small tolerances of the design dimensions.
Post-machining inspection is an important aspect of this work to ensure that the part meets the exact specifications stipulated by the customer. This inspection is carried out using a mixture of co-ordinate measuring machines (CMM) and mechanical equipment, such as micrometers, verniers and plug/thread gauges.
CMMs provide an extremely accurate way to check the measurements of the machining – down to a few microns. At Haworth Castings, we use two Zenith Too CNC CMMs. Specialist CMM software ensures that the part is checked in the same way each time and also verified against the pre-entered drawing specifications. This eliminates any chance of human error.
The machine compensates for any environmental temperature changes, which could potentially alter the dimensions and lead to the part being outside the required specifications. The temperature of the part is measured and entered into the programme. The CMM then calculates each measurement as if the part was at a stable 20 degrees Celsius.
Mechanical gauges, such as thread and plug, are also used to check certain features on the casting, such as tapped holes and bore diameters. These features are quicker and easier to check manually rather than on the CMMs.
The inspection process is used to identify a number of different potential defects. This could include issues with positioning (of the holes or other features), sizing and distortions within the casting. In some cases, the part can be modified to address these issues but in other cases, where there are sizing problems, it may need to be re-cast. All of our machined parts have to be certified before leaving the machine shop to verify that they conform to the highest standards.
If you would like to find out more about our machining capabilities, please call us today on +44 (0)1794 512685 or email us: firstname.lastname@example.com

Before making the big move to Seattle, I made a bucket list of places I wanted to visit in the Pacific North West and last weekend, I was able to check off one of those places. I spent the weekend in Vancouver, B.C. and I'm thrilled to be sharing my itinerary with you so that when you visit, you too can have an amazing weekend. Vancouver is an incredibly beautiful city with so much to offer and see that it can be overwhelming to decide what to do when you only have a weekend to visit. That's why I am keeping things simple today and giving you an itinerary for an amazing weekend where you won't even need your car. Robson Street is the ultimate Vancouver destination.
I recently had the opportunity to spend a weekend exploring this three block stretch right in the heart of the city. Robson Street is the perfect place to spend a weekend shopping, dining and pampering yourself, and when you leave you will feel like a true Vancouverite.
Blue Horizon Hotel: The Blue Horizon Hotel is a gorgeous boutique hotel located right on Robson Street (can we talk about convenience). The hotel has some incredible amenities including an indoor pool, wi-fi, plush bathrobes and a delicious on-site restaurant. Each of these will attract you to the hotel and make your stay comfortable, but you will return for the easy access to Robson Street, amazing service and the breathtaking views. Every room in the Blue Horizon Hotel is a corner room with a balcony. My room was on the 27th floor, and I was spoiled with a jaw-dropping view of the city on one side and the water on the other.
You can't come to Vancouver and not experience the delicious cuisine! Luckily, Robson Street has some of the most delicious food in the city.
CIN CIN RISTORANTE + BAR: After walking up the gorgeous flower-lined staircase and stepping into the beautiful dining room, I felt like I was transported straight to Italy. We sat on the heated terrace overlooking the hustle and bustle of Robson Street feeling miles away. Cin Cin serves delicious wood-fired Italian cuisine with a modern twist. Every single thing that I ate was sinfully amazing. Order the Buffalo Mozzarella with Prosciutto and thank me later!
EARLS RESTAURANT: A great spot for delicious modern fare and amazing cocktails. I love that they pride themselves on using locally sourced ingredients that ensure the food is always fresh and tasty. The menu is huge, so take my advice and start with the Chili Chicken and Wontons, followed by the Creekstone Farms Top Sirloin and finish with the Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie.
JOE FORTES: A true Vancouver classic, I loved dining at Joe Fortes. We went for Saturday brunch and it definitely lived up to my expectations. They had a live pianist that provided lovely background music and the atmosphere was jovial. Mimosas and a delicious meal have me already planning my next visit. Word on the street is Joe Fortes is the perfect spot for a celebrity sighting.
LADURÉE BOUTIQUE AND TEA SALON: My first Ladurée experience could not have been more perfect thanks to the Robson Street location! Ladurée is everything I thought it would be and more. Robson Street is lucky enough to be the first Canadian location of the iconic French destination. Pastel colored macaroons line the shelves and delicious treats are served at the table. We came for lunch and ate and drank our weight in delicious treats. The french toast was out of this world and you need to try it!
The shopping, oh the shopping! There are SO many amazing shops on Robson Street that it would be impossible to cover them all, but I am going to highlight a few of my favorites.
RYU APPAREL: Looking for modern fitness apparel that will hold up in the elements and keep you looking stylish? RYU is the place for you. I am always on the hunt for new fitness gear that can take me from spin class to a lunch date. RYU has some incredible pieces that would fit perfectly in my closet.
SAJE WELLNESS: Featuring natural wellness products that include essential oils and skincare. Saje has a product to fit your every need and will help you feel beautiful the natural way. I am now hooked on their essential oils and diffuse my Tranquility oil every day.
KIEHLS: The perfect place to find a tailored skincare regimen! I loved learning about the perfect products for my particular type of skin. Per the staff's suggestion, I picked up a bottle of their Midnight Recovery Concentrate and have seen an immediate change in my skin. I am officially a Kiehls fan for life.
ARITZIA: You can't come to Canada and not shop at Aritizia. The Robson Street location is HUGE and will have you occupied for hours. All of the staff are so stylish and helpful and will have you leaving with an incredible look.
What better time than a weekend getaway to give yourself a little pampering session! Robson Street has the best spots to make you look and feel beautiful!
SEPHORA: I have been a long time Sephora fan and do all of my makeup shopping there but had never tried one of their makeover services. I was seriously impressed with how gorgeous my look turned out and now have a line-up of products that I plan on purchasing. Receive your complimentary makeover today with a $50 purchase.
CIVELLO SALON & SPA: If you have been following me for a while, then you know that my hair is kind of my thing. I am very protective over it and often struggle to find people who can do it to my liking. The stylists at Civello (an Aveda Salon) took care of my beloved accessory and made me look and feel like a million bucks. I had an amazing neck massage before being whisked away to the shampoo station and finally the stylists chair. The stylist did an S-wave technique on my hair, and I LOVED the finished product.
Have you booked your plane ticket yet? Happy travels and Robson Street wanderings:)

Pat Abercromby talks about her writing process after being a full-time carer.
I had a successful career but almost overnight, morphed into a full-time carer when my husband had a serious stroke in 2007. For eight years I was totally immersed in 24/7 care for him as he gradually deteriorated and developed vascular dementia. Two years ago he went full-time into a dementia care nursing home. Only then did I have time to reflect on how my own life and interests had been totally sublimated caring for him and I very quickly dashed off a cathartic 10,000-word fictional story of a carer in a similar situation to me. A couple of friends, avid readers, encouraged me to expand upon the story and try to get it published.
I have a background in journalism and my style of writing was factual and succinct, not the stuff that novels are made of. I joined a creative writing class and learned so much about the craft of writing. About 'showing' not 'telling'; about the use of realistic dialogue and cutting down on the number of characters populating the story.
For a first novel, writing what you know about. I knew about caring and the value of friendship. What I found fascinating about the process is that soon the characters took on a life and personality of their own, certainly not fully contrived by me. I will be honest and admit that for a couple of the more colourful characters, I did base them, very loosely on people I have known in the past. However the story just quietly evolved as I went along and there are a couple of twists in the action that simply popped into my head as I was writing.
Many writers are very disciplined in their approach, planning out their chapters and sticking to the format, writing for a set amount of time every day and at the same time. My approach was random and haphazard. Sometimes days and occasionally weeks would pass before I worked on the story. I still work as a therapist and there were times when I was just too busy and tired by the end of the day to be bothered writing.
However, my best motivation really was attending my creative writing class which we did in blocks of five weeks with gaps of two months between terms. During those five-week sessions, I would knuckle down and write, mostly at night, and if I was on a roll, sometimes into the wee small hours when my muse stayed with me. I very rarely wrote during the daytime as all the other tasks that running a house and garden on my own involved, working part time and taking a day out every week to visit my husband in his nursing home, gobbled up the daylight hours. I like my bed too much to get up at 5am as some writers do! We often had to read extracts of our writing projects in the creative writing class. That really focusses the mind. Not unlike being back as school and having to produce homework!
Some chapters were easier to write than others, notably the purely fictional elements, imagining the words and actions of some of the characters that I had never come across in my own life. What was difficult and emotionally painful for me, was writing about the devastating affect having a stroke had on the health of the male protagonist, Rob, and his wife Fran, as that is what happened to me and my husband in real life. The loss of self for both of us was hard to bear. He could not accept what had happened to him and became angry and quite manic at times. For me, losing my career, my independence, my freedom and having no choice but to become his full-time carer was very tough to say the least. So, although choosing to write this story when he is still alive and in a dementia care nursing home has proved to be cathartic for me, it is also a tribute to all the unsung carers out there, seven million and counting, who also have their own back stories that need to be acknowledged.
Given that 58% of carers in the UK are women in age ranging from youngsters right through to quite elderly women, I think we all agree that without the support of friendships, we would really struggle. Another important strand in Just One Life is the life-long friendship between Fran and Iona. Their extraordinary loyalty to one another is really an analogy for how important good friendships are to everyone of course, but particularly for women. We really need our friends don't we? I have been blessed with several wonderful female friends during my life. Without their support and encouragement, I would have had great difficulty getting through the traumas of recent years and this book would never have seen the light of day.
When you realise you have just one life left to live, how do you make peace with the mistakes of your past?
Fran should be looking back on her life with pride. She's risen to the top of the job ladder, having left behind a council housing estate in post-war Glasgow, to forge a colourful, fulfilling career and enjoy all the trappings of success.
But instead, Fran is consumed by regret. A shocking revelation has cast her life, and her thirty-year marriage, asunder. She finds herself the full-time carer for her husband, a man she now accepts, she has never loved. The sacrifices she has made, the personal freedoms she has lost, have left Fran crushed. Her free-spirited friend Iona is her one salvation. Their friendship has survived the storms of conflict and loss since childhood, their deep affection for one another the only constant remaining in Fran's life, a life she no longer recognises as her own.
Her husband's new brush with death will give Fran the chance to reflect on what she has left, the choices she has made and the two men she has loved and lost.
Can Fran find a way through the ruins of her marriage and find inner peace, to make the most of what remains of her life's journey?
Pat Abercromby has enjoyed a varied career – from recruitment consultant to journalist in Saudi Arabia and massage therapist – eventually setting up a training school for Seated Acupressure Massage. Today she continues to work within the field of corporate wellness with her business partner Davina Thomson with their joint company Wellbeing Direct. In her spare time, Pat enjoys being an active member of her local creative writing group, classical music and the outdoors.

Characteristics of Getting Cash for Your House Fast Companies.
Selling your home is not an easy task especially when you have to sell it within a specified time and on a cash basis. Most people that buy houses opt to finance their homes by loans and mortgages. It is only a small percentage of buyers that have the ability to buy the homes using cash.
As a seller, you need to work with companies that specialize in purchasing the homes fast so that you can get cash quickly from the process. As you look around, you will come across companies that can help you to sell your house fast and on a cash basis but researching about the firm will help you to narrow down to one company that will assure you of a smooth and cost-effective process. To begin with, you need to scrutinize the company to see if they adhere to your requirements of buying the house on a cash basis and quickly.
You should understand the terms of the firm including how soon they can purchase the home and you can compare several companies to get the one that will allow you to sell the house faster. You will also need to check the payment policy of the company in that it should be able to purchase the home on a cash basis within the specified time. After these two policies are met, then you will have to check other attributes that will make a company stand out from the rest.
It is essential to work with a buying company that will offer to buy your house as it is without making any changes to it. It is preferable to select a company with such policies so that you can save on cost that could be used for remodeling projects. It is not easy to sell a home that is in a bad condition and getting a buying firm that is willing and able to buy the house as it is at a good price then you will be better off and you will achieve your goal.
You also need to select a company that offers to pay the closing fees. In most cases, the seller has to incur the cost of the transfer of ownership but when your buyer offers to do the payment then you will be better off. When the buying firm offers to cater for the clearance cost, then you will save on price which is an added advantage.
You should also get a free quote from the buying firm once the firm checks your property first so that you know what to expect. Once you get the estimate, you will be able to make an informed decision. Check at the company's reputation and also leave a reply once you work with them.

International Women's Day!
Happy international women's day!
Today is a day to celebrate all women no matter their race, culture, ethnicity, nationality, language, economy or political affiliation. It is a day to celebrate social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women both in history and women today.
The earliest women's day events were held in New York in 1909 on February 28. A year later at the International women's conference in Copenhagen, it was suggested that there be an international women's day. They agreed to mark one day of the year to promote equal rights to women and allow them to vote in political elections. In 1913 the date was moved to March 8 to officially be International Women's Day. Each year since, women have come together globally to celebrate social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. In 1975 the United Nations officially stated that March 8 is international women's day and started to sponsor it.
Every person on this earth knows a woman, whether that be a mother, sister, friend, co-worker, neighbor, etc. It's important that we take time to celebrate and praise women for all accomplishments, no matter how big or small. Many women face adversity, discrimination, unequal pay, sexual harassment and more each and every day. Whether a woman suffers silently, or speaks out, it is important to celebrate the victories women accomplish each day.
The theme for this year is #pressforprogress. One way that Lööf Foundation will "press for progress" is by continuing to motivate, uplift, inspire, educate, and help women no matter where we go. We encourage everyone today to press for progress! Let us know in the comments below what YOU are doing today to press for progress?
With many of our projects being located in 10 countries, we have met so many wonderful, strong, inspiring and loving women around the world. Thank you to every woman who has engaged in our projects and given back to the world. It's women like these that make the world a greater place! We would like to highlight a few that we have had the great opportunity to work alongside with!

11/02/2014 – Deenihan launches book on the Global Hunger Crisis
Tuesday 11th February—Jimmy Deenihan TD, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, will this evening officially launch 'The Global Hunger Crisis, Tackling Food Insecurity in Developing Countries' by Majda Bne Saad in the Oak Room at the Mansion House, at 5.30pm.
Majda Bne Saad has been a member of the National Famine Commemoration Committee since its establishment in 2008. Global hunger and under-nutrition is the biggest development challenge facing the world. 842 million people (one in eight) are estimated to be hungry in the world today and under-nutrition is the biggest underlying cause of death in children under the age of five – it is responsible for 8,000 child deaths each day.
Speaking ahead of the event Minister Deenihan commented:
"As Chair of the National Famine Commemoration Committee, I am always very pleased to lend my support to occasions such as this that highlight the plight of the millions of men, women and children across the world who face a daily challenge to find enough food to survive."
"Ireland has an innate understanding of hunger given our own history of famine, when one million Irish people died of starvation and over one million emigrated during An Gorta Mór or the Great Hunger in the 1840s. It is important therefore, that we extend genuine compassion and generosity to those who are suffering from hunger, disease and poverty in the modern world and we use our experience and empathy to raise awareness of their plight."

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A top U.S. envoy praised President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's government Wednesday and skirted the issue of his expulsion of a top political rival, taking some heat off the military leader as he struggles for election to a new term.
Soon after Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte's tribute to Pakistan's anti-terrorism efforts, the army reported killing up to 40 Islamic militants near the Afghan border.
Asked about Sharif's expulsion, Negroponte offered no criticism. He said it was as "an internal Pakistani political and legal matter and it's for the government and people of Pakistan to decide."
"We look forward to democratic elections being held in Pakistan quite shortly. We think it's important there be a smooth and democratic political transition," Negroponte said.[1]
This is the response of the US concerning the deteriorating situation in Pakistan. The political situation in Pakistan is about to reach critical mass and the Bush administration continues to placate General Musharraf and his assault on democracy. If anyone ever needed an example of why our position in the world is less than stellar, Pakistan would be a good place to start. On the one hand we talk of freedom and democracy and yet we continue to support leaders who eradicate those very things.
The administration of General Musharraf has continually scoffed at the courts, the opposition, and the people as they pave the way for his continued rein of undemocratic authority. The General has refused to relinquish his hold on the military as head of the army while serving as President. The Supreme Court in Pakistan has ruled this unconstitutional, but the General has chosen to ignore them so far.
Granted the political system in Pakistan has left a lot to be desired, with both opposition leaders being the target of corruption charges and scandals. However, we cannot enunciate democracy for some and not democracy for all. We must advocate a peaceful return to democracy for Pakistan. It appears that because General Musharraf is an ally in the war on terror, he is immune to the criticism we bestow so readily to others. We are presenting a hypocritical approach to our foreign policy and it is only fueling the impression that we only attack those who refuse to go along with our views. This administration has been the biggest recruiter for terrorist through its policy of benign neglect and its refusal to call our so-called allies on their crap. General Musharraf has continued to selectively prosecute the war on terror and yet we continue to heap praise on this man.
The following is a quote from General Musharraf in Great Britain on December 6, 2004, when asked if the war on terror had made the world less safe.
In an interview for the Newsnight programme, it was suggested to Gen Pervez Musharraf the world was less safe - in part because of the campaign.
"Absolutely," he said, adding that the social grievances that helped recruit terrorists were not being addressed.[2]
General Musharraf has always had to walk a fine line in the war on terror because of the fundamentalist in his own country. Because he has tried to fight the war against terrorism and indulge the religious extremists inside Pakistan, he has placed himself in a very tenuous position. Already he has been the target of four assassination attempts by the religious extremists he has tried to pacify.
He came to power some four years back after staging a coup against a weak and corrupt civilian government. The world reacted with disdain then and considered him a pariah. His fortunes snowballed dramatically after September 11 when he decided to back the United States in its war on terrorism. To the dismay of democratic Pakistanis, the United States quickly co-opted the general and bestowed legitimacy upon him. Past dictators in Pakistan and elsewhere in the Third World have been propped up by the United States, which has allowed them to either stifle or postpone democracy.[3]
We can no longer afford the luxury of supporting tyranny while at the same time talking democracy. The world is no longer accepting the do as I say not as I do argument. We must not let our zeal to prosecute the war on terror cloud our judgment of what are values are. If we do that, if we allow are support of democracy to be corrupted then the terrorists have in fact won without blowing up a building or firing a single shot. Freedom and dictatorship can never be package together, either we support democracy for all or we do not. Let's be clear about where the US stands.

Halloween is upon us! Which seemed like the perfect time for Tracey and Cayly to talk about fear.
Specifically, they are asking the question: How do you know if fear is keeping you from making a mistake or is moving you "closer to the truth" as Pema Chodron tells us?
This question — and the...

Social media. That ever-present influence in our technology-obsessed culture.
If you are like Tracey and Cayly, you have found yourself wrapped up in social media a little too frequently and have started to wonder if your use of these platforms is, perhaps, not as healthy as it could be.

Oct 18, 2017
When Tracey and Cayly sat down to record last week, they honestly never intended to turn an impromptu discussion about sexual harassment into an episode of the podcast.
But as they talked amongst themselves about a few experiences they'd both recently had, they decided on a whim to start recording their conversation...
Oct 10, 2017
Today's episode of Curious & Curiouser is all about habit change. Specifically:
How do you change a habit? How do you replace an old habit with a new one? Is habit change about willpower?
In this conversation, Tracey and Cayly bust the myth of willpower and explain why they don't actually think it has that much...

On this week's episode of Curious & Curiouser, Tracey and Cayly are talking about how to make friends as adults (SO hard, you guys) and their experiences in building community in their lives.

*What I Did On My Summer Vacation
I know summer vacation isn't over yet, and I still have some big things coming up (Songs For a New Worldespecially), but the bulk of travelling for me is over. Last week my dad & I roadtripped to Yellowstone National Park. I was last there in 1994, and was glad for to experience it again.
I'll be posting some pictures on the website in the future (and also on Facebook) - I have limited computer access for the next 2 weeks, though, so I'm not sure how fast I'll be able to get things up. There were a lot of observations I made that I want to get written down, too, and hopefully I will soon ....
- June 30: Leave Lakewood, CO, & drive to Lander, WY. Camp one night in Sinks Canyon State Park.
- July 1: Drive to Yellowstone National Park, via Dubois & Grand Teton National Park. Set up camp in the Madison Campground.
- July 2: Drive/hike the South Loop of Yellowstone National Park, including the Midway Geyser Basin, Old Faithful, and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.
- July 3: Drive up the Gallatin Canyon to Big Sky, Montana, and Bozeman, MT. Spend some time in Madison Buffalo Jump & Missouri Headwaters State Parks. Drive back via the Madison River valley.
- July 4: Tour the North Loop of Yellowstone, including Mammoth Hot Springs, Norris Geyser Basin, and Tower Fall. Spend a little time in West Yellowstone, MT, before a storm blew in and ruined our fireworks plans.
- July 5: Drive east through Cody, over the Big Horn Mountains, set up camp in Sheridan, WY.
- July 6: Drive down I-90 & I-25 through Custer & Cheyenne, arrive back in Denver.
It was tiring - a lot of driving - but definitely worth it. We got away from some of society, and I was worried that taking a break right before a big performance would be bad, but it helped clear my mind was in retrospect was a good decision.
What did you do (or are doing) on your summer vacation?

The Utah women's basketball team had what head coach Lynne Roberts characterized as a good weekend, as the team split a pair of home games between ranked teams Stanford and Cal. While the Utes came away with a loss against the Cardinal, Roberts said her team's effort was much better.
"By good, I mean it wasn't just about the games we played," Roberts said. "We had a good week of practice. Sometimes when you don't play well, you have to evaluate and challenge yourself as a player and as a team. We had a good week and I'm proud of our team for how they responded."
The Utes struggled on offense against Stanford, shooting just 34 percent from the field and 37 percent from deep. The Cardinal shot 43 percent from the field and 38 percent from deep as Stanford went on to win its 14th game of the season.
While the Utes remained close throughout the first half, cutting Stanford's lead to just six points in the third, it was a tough fourth quarter that put the visiting team over the top.
"I thought our effort was better," Roberts said. "We did a lot of things better, but the start of that fourth quarter crushed us defensively. I am proud of our team for bouncing back."
Emily Potter led the way for the home team with 15 points and six rebounds, as well as adding six blocked shots — tying her career high. Senior wing Paige Crozon poured in 10 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Against Cal, the Utes started fast and kept the pressure on, going up by 12 at one point. While the Golden Bears made a couple of runs, it wasn't enough as the Utes snapped their three game losing streak and they picked up their second conference victory.
Cal — one of the top scoring teams in the nation — was held to just 57 points on 35 percent shooting.
"I thought we played much more to our character in both games even though we didn't beat Stanford," Roberts said. "Our rebounding was noticeably better, we were just tougher and our guards were rebounding. Defensively, we were a lot better, and everyone was on the same page."
Roberts also mentioned that though the team was excited about the win against a ranked opponent, they weren't going to overlook the teams on their schedule. Both Oregon State and Oregon beat the Utes last year and Roberts said those memories are fresh in her team's mind.
"It's definitely something that helps us build confidence," said sophomore guard Erika Bean referring to her team's win against Cal on Sunday. "It's momentum that helps carry us forward and get us ready for the next conference game."
Bean also said that the team has the same mindset heading into this weekend that they had competing against Stanford and Cal.
"We just have to keep getting better and work on us [as a team]," Bean said. "We all have those individual things that we need to work on and if we keep working on them we will get better."
Oregon State sits atop the conference at 5-1. Roberts mentioned what her team needs to do to win this weekend.
"You have to play a nearly perfect game," Roberts said. "We need to be really on point on both sides of the ball. We can't beat ourselves."
The Utes will travel to Corvallis to take on Oregon State on Friday, and then face Oregon on Sunday.

Souls for sale
Once in a while you hear an idea so remarkable you can't believe you didn't think of it. The light bulb (Edison), telephones (Bell), telephone soliciting (Satan), teaching grade six kids vaginal lubrication (Dalton McGuinty). But the one I'm currently kicking myself for missing is Canadian Anglicans' plan to cope with declining membership and revenue by soliciting corporate advertising. Why didn't Jesus think of the Sermon on the Billboard? Yea, verily. Michael Valpy wrote in Tuesday's Globe and Mail "The Anglican Church of Canada is inviting corporate sponsorship of its national convention this year, selling space for brand logos on delegate documents, advertising signs in its meeting spaces and a private lunch for executives with the church's senior archbishop. It's the first time in its 117-year history that the Canadian church made its governing synod available for a mess of pottage... Asked about the genesis of the sponsorship idea, Vianney Carrière, the Anglicans' national director of communications and information resources, said: 'The genesis is the need for money.'... The synod agenda is described as 'timely, relevant and important and includes debates, resolutions and presentations on major global issues such as poverty, human sexuality, the rights of indigenous peoples and the care of the environment.'"
OK, that's a tough sell. But I still think turning religion into an advertising rather than a spiritual venture has enormous untapped potential that not even Bruce Barton recognized when he depicted Christ as the world's greatest ad man back in the 1920s.
Start with ancient Egyptian religion. Among the advantages here is it won't offend anyone because no one worships Ra any more (at least I don't think so; I suppose I could steal one of Dan Brown's ideas and write a thriller about a journalist pursued by a secret Ra cult because of a sacrilegious column but I'm going to get so rich with this other stuff I won't have to bother). Now you may think a lack of adherents limits the commercial possibilities even if the whole justification for the Anglican initiative is that they, too, are running out of parishioners. But Horus, Isis and that crowd offer a spectacular advantage unrelated to bodies in pews: pyramids.
That's right. Pyramids. A marketing dream beyond compare. First of all, they're famous and evocative. Just as writing a "vampire-themed" book where the vampires aren't evil, smelly or allergic to sunlight still rips off the mystique painstakingly crafted by Bram Stoker et al., so pyramids automatically entrance people.
Secondly, they're really big and obvious. The great pyramid at Giza was the tallest building in the world for almost 4,000 years and progress has yet to surround it with ugly cement or glass-and-steel boxes. What a spot for a billboard.
Following the Anglican inspiration to try to squeeze money out of companies that already do business with the church, I suppose you'd start trolling for pyramid sponsors among embalmers or goldsmiths. But since no one knows much about ancient Egyptian religion anyway (I mean honestly, who even in Cairo has much of an opinion about Osiris today) I expect you could hawk breakfast cereal as well. "Ptah says start your afterlife with barley bits!"
I realize some people think the pyramids were built by aliens with a strange sense of humour. But since I'm not too worried about them returning in wrath or for five percent of net revenue, I think a few cute ET-type product spokesmen are also a strong possibility.
As for the sphinx, why should it sit there mute and mysterious when it could be dressed up as everyone's favourite hamburger clown? Talk about product placement. OK, the Anglicans might consider it in poor taste as they've sort of gone off salt of the earth. But hey, even the best idea involves some challenges.
Like marketing with Osama bin Laden types. Other than "blows up real good" it's not obvious what a jihadi values in an airplane, building, car, pair of shoes or person. A belief that attractive clothing on women leads to earthquakes is a godsend to cartoonists but a nightmare for marketers. But there's already an Easter Island statue Kleenex dispenser and I'm sure those babies could also push headphones or pillows. And let's use all those smiling buddhas to peddle enticing terrestrial pleasures not boring spiritual calm. Fancy microwave entrees, say, or skin care products.
Now we're all rich, I have one final wacky idea for you Anglicans. Ordinarily you seem content to dwindle and vanish in a comfortably sanctimonious, socially just manner. But if you're desperate enough to consider advertising, why not try using your convention, churches and social groups to sell people this "Bible", the dead Nazarene carpenter and salvation in return for virtue?
Nah. Too crazy.

Both Genesee Community College soccer teams will host Region-III home semifinal contests tomorrow, Oct. 25. The No. 5 GCC women's team will host Broome Community College at 4 p.m., while the No. 3 GCC men's team will host Mohawk Valley Community College at 6:30 p.m., with both games being live-streamed.
Winners of those contests will compete for a region championship and national championship berth this weekend at Tompkins Cortland Community College.
Since both GCC soccer teams wear white uniforms at home, to help support the team the athletics department is asking fans to also wear white in a show of solidarity and Cougar pride. Those students in attendance that wear white clothing will receive free hot dogs with student identification.
The matchups were finalized last night after Mohawk Valley beat Hudson Valley in overtime and won the right to face the No. 3 GCC men's team. The two clubs met in the Cougars' season opener with Genesee taking the road contest 6-1 on Sept. 1. In that game, current National Junior College Athletic Association D-III leading scorer Rodrigo Albuquerque was in on five of the six Cougar goals with three goals and two assists. Mohawk's leading scorer Isaak Somow had the Hawks' lone goal.
In the women's matchup, the No. 5 GCC women's team will have a familiar opponent in Broome. The two teams just met this past weekend with a 4-0 Cougars win. In that contest, Miko Yamashita was in on all four Cougar goals with a pair of goals and pair of assists. NJCAA Region III selected her as one of its athletes of the week yesterday for that performance and the previous one where she scored both the team's game winning goals. Defensively, the recent 4-0 win over Broome was one of six-consecutive shutout wins and extended Jaclyn Guzdek's shutout streak to 551 minutes as she leads NJCAA D-III goalkeepers in clean sheets with a dozen.

On December 9, 1934, Pope Pius XI created the Owensboro diocese and appointed Bishop Cotton as its first bishop. Just twelve years later, Bishop Cotton would welcome the new foundation of Passionist Nuns as the first and only contemplative community in the diocese.
Blessed Bernard Mary of Jesus, born Caesar Silvestrelli, a priest and religious of the Passionist Congregation, hailed as the 'Second Founder', born on November 7, 1831 in Rome, Italy; died December 9, 1911 at Moricone, Italy. Beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1988.
Caesar Peter Silvestrelli was born in Rome on November 7 1831 and baptized the same day. His mother died when he was 15 years old. A student of the Jesuit-run Collegio Romano and thereafter continued his studies in private. He was attracted to the Passionist Congregation and entered the novitiate at Monte Argentario on 25 March 1854 at the age of 22 where he took the name Aloysius of the Sacred Heart of Mary. A month later he was forced to leave the novitiate owing to ill health, but continued living with the Passionists on Monte Argentario where he studied theology.
In the course of his studies he was ordained priest on December 22, 1852. The following April he was given permission to begin another novitiate, this time at Morrovalle where he took the new name Brother Bernard Mary of Jesus. Here he was the classmate of another novice Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows who was canonized in 1920. Father Bernard Mary made his profession of vows on 28 April 1857. Thereafter he pursued studies for preaching, and then was assigned to the office of director and novice master. Later, in 1869, he was appointed Rector of the Passionist monastery of Scala Santa, near the Basilica of S. Giovanni Laterno in Rome. It was here that on September 19 1870 Pope Pius XI visited the sacred steps from which the monastery took its name. The Pope was making his last visit to the sacred sites of Rome before the city was besieged by the invading Italian army. Father Bernard supported the Pope by the arm as they both climbed the sacred steps weeping bitterly.
In 1876 Father Bernard Mary was elected to the role of first provincial consultor of the Roman province, later he became vice-provincial and in the General Chapter of the Passionist Congregation of 1878 he was elected Superior General of the Congregation. As Superior General Father Bernard Mary worked hard to reconcile the rival factions in the Congregation. He founded new houses abroad (in Mexico and Latin America, as well as advancing the Bulgarian mission) and reformed the regulations of the Congregation, being particularly firm in the conviction that a return to the original spirit and Rule of the founder, Saint Paul of the Cross could be the only formula for reviving the spirit of the Congregation. He was re-elected Superior General in 1884 and resigned the post in 1889. In 1893 a vision of Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows convinced Father Bernard Mary to attend the General Chapter and he was then re-elected Superior General, a post he was re-elected to again in 1899 and 1905. He established an international house of studies for Passionist students at SS John and Paul in Rome and visited every Passionist province in the world. He resigned again in 1905 but was elected 'honorary General' for life. In 1911 he retired to the Passionist community at Moricone and died there in the December of that year.
The cause for his canonization was opened on 23 May 1939, he was declared Venerable by Pope Paul VI in 1973 and declared 'Blessed' by Pope John Paul II on 16 October 1988.

Bad news—your cosmetics might be harming the environment. But you can lessen the negative effects of your pile of products by taking note of these tips from The Huffington Post.
Makeup from Taraji P. Henson's collaboration with MAC sold out so quickly that her own mother wasn't able to pick any up, which you can read all about here via USA Today.
According to Popular Science, your hair might be better at identifying you than your DNA.

The Collective Emotional Temperature of the World
A while back I posted about Twistori, completely missing the fact that it was inspired by We Feel Fine. While Twistori pulls statements from Twitter and scrolls them based on words used like "Love" and "Hate", We Feel Fine is a much more elaborate and comprehensive gauge. Pulling from statements across the blog-o-sphere that start with "I feel..." and "I am Feeling...", it creates abstract patterns and graphs which require viewer interaction. I'm not sure if this means we need more help in being empathetic with each other or we've settled on being entertained by each others feelings. My experience with human nature and our current cultural trends tells me the latter is more often the case.

Man faces German extradition over alleged role in IRA bomb
James Corry accused of being involved in 1996 mortar attack on British army barracks
Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly: made an order directing that James Corry be surrendered to Germany.
The High Court has ordered the extradition of a man suspected of being involved in a Provisional IRA mortar attack on a British army barracks in Germany 20 years ago.
On Monday, Ms Justice Aileen Donnelly delivered her judgement granting the State's application for the extradition of James Anthony Oliver Albert Corry.
The 47-year-old, who was born in Belfast, was arrested in Killorglin, Co Kerry in October 2015 on foot of a European Arrest Warrant issued by German authorities in 2004.
Mr Corry is suspected of involvement in a Provisional IRA attack in Osnabruck, Germany in 1996 in which three mortar shells were fired at a British army barracks.
Delivering her judgement, Ms Justice Donnelly said that there is nothing "oppressive or discriminatory" about the respondent being sought to face trial and punishment in the same manner as any other person who is alleged to have committed an offence of attempted murder in Germany.
The judge said that although the court had regard to the "significant culpable delay" in seeking the surrender of the respondent, the public interest in his prosecution for this alleged organised offence of attempted murder through the use of explosives was "not thereby diminished."
"Furthermore, the court observes that the availability of early release under the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement is a matter that can only be assessed by the Minister for Justice and Equality after a conviction.
"Even in this jurisdiction, any trial and sentence he would face would be that of a maximum of life imprisonment. The court must, and does, proceed on the basis that this is a sentence of life imprisonment that the respondent is facing if convicted of the offence alleged against him," she said.
Prejudicial consequences
The court heard that the public interest in his surrender outweighed any inference in his private and family life. "His personal circumstances are unremarkable and no particular injurious, harmful or prejudicial consequences are evident," she said.
Ms Justice Donnelly said the court took into account that Mr Corry spent four months in custody in this jurisdiction on the first extradition request and that this is a second request made after some considerable period of culpable delay.
"The fact that this is a second request and that there has been a period in custody are not in themselves matters that prevent surrender. The court also takes into account that this particular respondent, as time went by, was no doubt of the belief that he would not be sought for surrender or prosecution for this alleged offence," she said.
The above factors were not of such importance that "would make it disproportionate to surrender him to face trial for this serious crime of violence alleged against him", the court heard.
Ms Justice Donnelly said the surrender of this respondent would not amount to a "disproportionate interference" with his right to respect for his family and personal rights under the Constitution or under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
Ms Justice Donnelly then made an order directing that Mr Corry be surrendered to Germany.
In October, counsel for Mr Corry, Remy Farrell SC, accused the federal authorities of "culpable negligence" for waiting for more than 10 years to pursue his client's arrest warrant.
Mr Farrell said the Germans had engaged in "finger-pointing" at the Garda and the Irish State and failed to explain why they did not act on information given to them by gardaí back in 2005.
Mr Corry was placed on the international wanted list in 2004 and in May 2005 gardai contacted German authorities to tell them he was living in Kerry.
The German prosecutor's next move came this year when a European Arrest Warrant was issued and gardai executed it in October.
Mr Farrell said at the time: "This is a delay of truly exceptional proportions," adding: "It is unconscionable that a party to such proceedings would refuse to give an explanation for a 10-year delay."
Mr Farrell also said that under the terms of the Belfast Agreement, were Mr Corry to be found guilty of the offence in Ireland or the UK, he would be released within two years. However, he could face life imprisonment if found guilty in Germany.
This, he said, was "oppressive" and unfair in circumstances where another person extradited to the UK for a similar offence would face a maximum of two years in prison.
Representing the Minister for Justice, Sean Guerin SC said the alleged offence was "very serious" and therefore the public interest could never be described as insignificant, regardless of any delay by the Germans.
Regarding Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, he said it did not apply in this case because there were no exceptional family circumstances that required Mr Corry to remain in Ireland.
He added that there was nothing discriminatory regarding the possibility of life imprisonment in Germany versus two years in the UK for a similar offence. "He would be treated in the same way as anyone else in that jurisdiction," he said.
Mr Corry was remanded in custody today until November 21st with consent to bail.

Dethroned last year by the USA, China has regained its leadership in the international art market ,according to the latest Artprice report. In the decline during the first semester of 2016, the new was a surprise, the economic context of country (Second World Economy) being decreasing.
The strongholds of New York (-49%) and London (30%) show large declines. In this context, China finds his world leader. With a business volume of €2.1 billion (+ 20%), the Middle Kingdom represents 35.5% of the public auctions in the world, against 26.8% for the USA. In China, demand remains strong for ancient art, a segment become marginal in West. The country also benefits from the dynamism of Hong Kong (+ 10%), the only important place on the planet to continue increasing.
According Thierry Ehrmann (CEO of Artprice) : « there is an air hole. In an environment with interest rate to the floor, the sellers say they have an interest in retaining their best pieces, for art who will become an investment more and more profitable.«
More, China is the only major place of the world art market who continues to grow, particularly due to the return of some investor confidence, with the introduction of a new extremely severe legislation against unpaid.
What about contemporary artists sold in auctions ?
In the first semester, the invincible Pablo Picasso (that generated the amount of the largest auction of €178.7 million), is followed by Chinese painters as Zhang Daqian (€164.5 million) and Wu Guanzhong (€93.4 million).
