|South Africa's economic future – is there light at the end of the tunnel or are we fooling ourselves?
Does the change in the ANC's leadership signal the start of a process to repair the economic damage of the Zuma years? If so, what are the realistic chances of success? What would success mean for domestic equity investment prospects?

|14:00 – 14:40
|The changing fortunes of the South African stock market
The lofty valuations of the global tech giants are not restricted to the FAANGs alone. Witness the rise (and rise) of Naspers, as it transformed from a traditional media company to a digital behemoth, to comprise almost a fifth of the market capitalisation of the entire SA equity market today.
Naspers is but one example of a South African company that had to evolve to thrive. We explore the investment opportunities offered by companies that are similarly evolving to remain relevant in a global market and expanding into sectors where South Africa has historically not been strong.

The South African economy currently faces several headwinds related to economic growth and its competitiveness both on the African continent and in the global arena.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car regularly hires out multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) – also called people carriers. An MPV is the perfect car for the larger family and people who have to transport others around or move items on a regular basis. Even the smallest MPVs carry up to seven passengers in comfort, and larger vehicles provide even more space for luggage or equipment. For parties larger than 10, ask Enterprise about minibuses for hire. MPVs are very functional – five doors provide ease of access, and engine size is fairly standard at 2L, which provides enough horsepower for a smooth and comfortable ride for family, friends or work colleagues. MPVs are as easy to drive as a normal saloon car, and they hold the road well in any weather. Enterprise provides a great choice of vehicles at very reasonable rates, and to secure the one you want, it is best to book online using the booking tool, available to customers 24/7. Enterprise source their fleet from leading manufacturers, and with Enterprise you know that each vehicle undergoes a rigorous maintenance schedule and is valeted inside and out before being leased to the client.
An MPV hire can meet many different driving requirements. Perhaps you are with extended family and are on holiday in Spain. You could be attending a wedding, or celebrating a milestone birthday or other special event. Enterprise provides MPV rental in Spain, and many other countries. In fact, you can pick up your MPV from the airport as soon as you land, and return it just before you fly home. Keep the party going as you use your MPV to drive the family to those picturesque beaches, or around those typical Spanish small towns and villages that lie just off the tourist trail. Save on other transport costs, such as taxis and unreliable public transport. Club and pub indoor league teams make regular use of MPVs to get their darts or pool teams to away games. Everyone sets off together and only one person has to avoid alcohol for the evening, while the rest of the party can relax, enjoy themselves and hopefully return home victorious. MPVs are good for taking a group of friends on that outdoor pursuit – fishing or shooting, there is plenty of room for rods or rifles. An MPV provides flexible, comfortable travelling for groups who want or need to travel together. Take a look at Enterprise's superb range of MPVs today.

New Series: What I'm reading/
I read a lot of non-fiction books. To me, reading is the way I learn, get inspired and discover new ideas and insights. Great non-fiction books are basically an opportunity to see the world (or a part therefore) through someone else's eyes. I find it fascinating to understand how other people interpret facts and events and how understanding their viewpoints changes mine over time.
I usually spend at least 30 minutes reading non-fiction in the morning. It's how I start my days. I get up, make coffee and then crawl back to bed with my coffee and a book. I love that morning routine – until it's time to get up for good… ;)
However, lately I've started to notice I don't really take in as much of what I read as I used to anymore. I have a long list of books want to read and I've found that I often rush through one book because I'm already excited about getting into the next one. I've noticed a few times now that I finish a book, move on to the next one right away and, within a week, can't even really remember anymore what the book was about or what I learnt from it.
It's great to be able to read fast but what's the point if you don't actually internalise the information?
In the last few weeks I re-read a book I had just finished. I basically got to the last page and then started again on the first page. And yes, there were a few parts I could skim through fast on the second read because I remembered it all but the far majority of the book was basically new to me – which shows exactly how much (or little) attention I was paying the first time I read it.
I want to change that! I want to make sure I really get something out of every book I read and that I can still remember what that something is a few weeks later.
So, I've set myself a new reading challenge. Instead of focusing on reading as many books as possible, I now focus on capturing as many insights as possible from each book. That means, reading slower and taking notes while I'm reading.
And then I thought, if I'm already taking notes, I might as well share them with you :) So I'm starting a new series of blog posts called "What I'm Reading".
Note that these are not book reviews or summaries.

Going Out West - Tom Waits
If you've ever listened to any Tom Waits song ever you'll know where Bust It Like A Mule came from. Especially this song. I used to write in query letters to literary agents (the very same literary agents who gave me rave rejections) that I imagined Bust It Like A Mule read out loud to America by Tom Waits. Even reviewers agree!

Self-employed individuals the U . s . States feel differently with regards to getting to shrug out money by means of taxes. Self-employed individuals need to pay just as much tax being an employer as well as an worker combined – a lot in order to the unemployment scenario in the united states!
This can be a cooperation situation. The federal government enables self-employed individuals lots of deductions on their own taxes. These taxes might be excessive that individuals think hard before you take up any self employment possibilities. Entrepreneurs in america declare that the federal government is involving within the greatest fraud ever by imposing huge taxes on self-employed individuals after which providing them with tax deductions. This comes down to them getting to pay for a set fee of taxes anyway – so why wouldn't you eliminate the deductions minimizing the required taxes billed to begin with?
To date as Medicare and Social security taxes are worried in case your earnings crosses $400 you're prone to pay greater than 15% of the earnings as tax towards the government. That's 15% in addition to the typical tax self-employed folks are likely to shrug out. After which should you own your house you will notice that you're having to pay the federal government over fifty percent your overall earnings by means of taxes.
Self-employed people reason that this can be a very unfair degree of taxation and isn't encouraging whatsoever for those who would like to get into self employment within the U . s . States. Countries like The country and Italia have self employment taxed designed in a manner that will encourage their citizens to find self employment and in ways help reduce the unemployment situation in the united states.
When you are getting into self employment you'll be lucky to earn just a little over $100,000 within the newbie. You won't need to pay the 12% Social Security tax around the amount that exceeds the 100,000 this can be a saving but you'll have to spend the money for Medicare area of the tax. Then when you're calculating the tax a part of your taxes you are able to subtract one half from the taxes out of your self employment taxes -they are significant savings around the tax front.
Claiming rent deductions for any office at home is a way of conserving taxes. Just calculate the annual rental for that office at home and subtract it out of your earnings. This is recognized as a cost – however the federal government will tax yourself on an earnings out of your property, anyway still it helps you save a couple of dollars over time.
If you do diligent research you will notice that there are lots of methods for you to save money on taxes you'd normally pay like a self-employed person. However everything requires additional time and effort – why don't you just eliminate the deductions minimizing the required taxes?

An errata is necessary before I go into the customs and traditions of the Orthodox and in this case Haredi world! I was very remiss not to mention three others from the States who attended the wedding: Our nephew and Mona's son, Marty; Sarah Batya's brother, Nathan, who as always lent his contagious sense of humor and sense of fun; and their cousin Lizzy who teaches photography in Austin, Texas and lent her contagious smile and great photography!

To try to clarify and simplify a confusing situation re Sheva Brachot or Seven Blessings, these blessings are always said during the wedding ceremony after the bride circles the groom seven times. The same seven blessings are said at the end of each of the Sheva Brachot or Seven Blessings dinners on the nights following the wedding ceremony. To put it as simply as possible, the seven blessing deal with G-d...(what did we ever do without google?!)
- ... who has created everything for his glory
- ... who fashioned the Man
- ... who fashioned the Man in His image ...(referring to the woman)
- ... who gladdens Zion through her children
- ... who gladdens groom and bride
- ... who created joy and gladness ... who gladdens the groom with the bride
- and the standard prayer over wine.
The history of Sheva Brachot goes back to biblical times and the stories of Yakov, Leah and Rachel, and of Samson. Even though Yaakov accepted this week of celebration as being a custom, Moses later instituted it like a binding decree. Some commentators even comprehend it to be a Torah law.Family and friends consider it a great honor and merit to host these meals. We hosted some 40 of our friends, our kids and the bride's family in our home for a catered dairy meal prepared by a French caterer, our third simcha with him. And no, we do not have room for 40 and some had to sit outside shivering but with heaters!
As explained in a book by a prominent rabbi: "It is not the Jewish practice for the bride and groom to 'escape' on a honeymoon directly following their wedding. Rather, they remain in their home community. They are beginning their married life, not separated from the community, but as an integral part of it."A brand new husband and wife should even take off from work or study to be with each other for the entire week following the ceremony. Even during the entire first year of marriage, neither spouse ought to travel away from home without the other, somewhat impractical if you ask me! I believe Zalman and Rivi did stay close to their apartment during the first week, however, she is finishing her graphic design course and teaching swimming while Zalman is learning (studying) Torah.
The festive meals with friends and family are a tradition and technically they are not obligatory. However, they require at least ten men (or a minyan as required to recite any prayers at other times as well) in order to recite the seven blessings. We attended nearly all of them and it will be a long time till I look at a piece of chicken! I must mention one Sheva Brachot in particular, however The lunch after our last dinner was hosted by Rabbi Yosef and Rebbetsin Rachel Silberman in their incredible home in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City. Rabbi Silberman runs the yeshiva where Zalman and younger brother Alexander learn and he and his wife have 14 children. (see photo of a mother of 14!) Their four-year-old is in the same nursery school as two of their grandchildren! When they moved into their home 11 years ago and affixed the mezzuzah to the doorpost, it instantly disappeared. So they extended the entry, made an inner front door and hired two full time guards. Their son is Zalman's closest friend and he met us and Marc and Sarah Batya at Jaffe Gate to walk us through the maze of narrow alleyways lined with stores and the Arabs and Christians hawking their wares. After the meal, we women who sat behind a curtain or mehitzah were sent to watch from outside the dining area so the men from the yeshiva could use the entire area for dancing. It was a smaller repeat of the wedding! The Rabbi invited me to stand behind a table to take pictures and I promptly stood on a chair for a better view. Once again, my age and stature as the grandmother gave me points! But it must be said that the Rabbi and Rebbitsin are two of the warmest, most welcoming people I have ever met.
Picture above: Sarah Batya, Rivi and Rebbetsin Silberman (mother of 14) share a laugh
The Hebrew marriage contract dating back to ancient times is called the Ketubah. The Ketubah is usually printed in a very beautiful, artistic, and creative way as a keepsake document for the bride and groom and an heirloom to pass on. Those of us who had a Jewish wedding have one and those of us who were active in the Magnes Museum, were surrounded by them. But did any of us really wonder what they signified? Although this relationship agreement describes the husband's responsibilities to his spouse, its foremost characteristic may be the amount awarded the spouse if or when there is a divorce or husband's death. I am far from knowledgeable but it is the only item in Orthodoxy I know about that is for the woman in that it gives detailed instructions on the husband's obligations to his wife, which include housing and clothing, food, and marital relations. Not all women obtain the identical amount for their settlement in the cases mentioned above. A girl who marries as a virgin is entitled to two hundred zuz (about $10,000 currently). The ketubah of a widow or divorcee, however is only one hundred zuz (about $5,000 today). "The amount with the ketubah for a woman who lost her virginity by means of injury instead of cohabitation is disputed..."
I hope this is neither overly detailed nor over simplified and that it provides just enough education to not lull you to sleep!
Some of you have asked how a young man who is learning pretty much full time will provide for his wife. From what I have gleaned, mostly from our kids, the first year of marriage is equivilent to a four year college education with an additional course in life's lessons. If the parents, as in this case, can somehow purchase a small (read very small) apartment, all the better. The support extends through the first year but is negotiable depending on the parents ability and attitude. If and when the partial or full support ends, it is hoped that the young couple will have learned how to live, budget, etc. In the case of Zalman and Rivi, both sets of parents met before the wedding to talk about their philosophy of assistance. They will continue to help the couple when they start a family by purchasing the major items necessary such as a crib, stroller, etc. This couple is very lucky as some families throw a wedding, step back and wish their kids good luck! In my opinion, it is fairly easy here to live on a budget once you have a place to live.
Bottom right: Professional wedding portrait

Honestly though, the shoulder and elbow servos should have been the next step up, which would add about $700 to that. I didn't have to pay for laser cutting time or ABS, but I imagine there might be about $100-$150 raw material, and if you used a service like Pololu, maybe $300-400 in laser time (there are a lot of parts). On top of that, you would have $100 for the webcams, $1200 for a Hokuyo laser, and the cost of a laptop or Mini-ITX to go in the base.

Maxwell was my next robot after this, and had only a single arm (which was actually more capable). The cost rollup on that robot (including actual quotes of laser cut materials) before I added the torso lift or upper arm roll was closer to $2000 including everything except the laptop and a laser (so, an Asus Xtion, the servos, drive motors, wheels, casters, lasercut frame, 8020 parts) Michael Fergusonhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995060597167955455.post-62842497864976479002013-05-15T12:24:05.185-04:002013-05-15T12:24:05.185-04:00Can you estimate how much this cost total?

I have taught English literature, comparative literature and Korean literature at American universities, such as Penn State, UC Berkeley and BYU, for over six years. Whenever I have taught English or comparative literature, I have always tried to bridge the cultures of the East and West, through which I have enjoyed wonderful cultural interactions with my students.
Whenever I have taught Korean literature at American universities, I have always been very impressed by my colleagues who are dedicated cultural ambassadors of Korea to America. I have been pleased to observe that my colleagues frequently sponsor various special lectures and events on Korean Studies, inviting celebrities as guest speakers that regularly bring large audiences. Indeed, these colleagues and speakers are largely responsible for significantly raising the profile of Korea overseas.
Currently, I am lecturing at the University of Malaga, Spain, as a visiting professor. UMA is unique in the sense that it offers a specialization in Korean studies. There are no programs on Chinese or Japanese studies at the University of Malaga; it has a Korean studies program exclusively. The central library of UMA has a remarkably vast Korean collection room with thousands of Korean books.
When there is an event on Korean studies at the university, not only Dean Anna Rosa and Vice-Rector Victor Munoz but also Rector Jose Angel come to honor the occasion. Luckily for the Korean studies program at UMA, these three high-ranking administrators are strong supporters of the Korean studies program. In an interview with a Korean newspaper, for example, Rector Jose Angel expressed his affection toward the Korean people, saying, "Whenever I meet a Korean, I feel like I'm with a close relative."
The Korean studies program at the University of Malaga is run by professor Antonio Domenech, who received the Order of Cultural Merit from the Korean government last year, and professor Eun-kyung Kang. They make a fine team with newly appointed professor Luis Botella and Patricia Morales, project manager of the UMA-ATECH bridge with the Korea Office. They have splendidly managed the capacious Korean studies program with approximately 200 students majoring in Korean literature, culture, and history.
Each year, 50 freshmen are admitted to the Korean studies program, and each year about 60 UMA students visit Korea to study at Incheon National University as exchange students. Meanwhile, about 120 Korean students from INU also come to Malaga to study as exchange students at UMA every year.
While discussing the career prospects of UMA students who major in Korean studies, I often seriously wonder, "What can we do for these students who love Korea and want to find jobs related to their passion for the country?" They are so very fond of Korea and are eager to learn about Korean culture, society, and history. Surely, these brilliant, enthusiastic students will become priceless assets for Korea in the future.
It occurs to me that the Korean government has to encourage and support these emerging scholars who will definitely work for Korea and contribute to the enhancement of the relationship between Korea and Spain in the future. Looking into their inquisitive and affectionate eyes, I realize that Koreans are obliged to respond to these students who voluntarily come to us and become our friends. Indeed, we need to care about them, embrace them, and provide them with opportunities to work with us.
Currently, LTI Korea, the Korea Foundation and the Academy of Korean Studies partially support the Korean studies program at UMA. In my opinion, however, we need to boost funds in an effort to strengthen the Korean studies program at UMA and to aid its expansion. There are many ways to help UMA's Korean studies program. For example, the implementation of the Institute of Korean Studies is definitely a good idea because it would make university administrators aware of the importance of the Korean studies program while also playing the role of an important base for future scholars and professors of Korean studies in Spain.
Recently, the Korea Foundation has supported the implementation of the Institute of Korean Studies at George Washington University and the Institute of Critical Korean Studies at the University of California, Irvine. Both have turned out to be tremendous successes. I think it would be a good idea to expand the reach of such programs to other major universities that have a strong Korean studies program, such as the University of Malaga in Spain.
Our friendship with Spain is of particular importance. Spain and Korea have many things in common, and we often share the same sentiment. Besides, the global Spanish-speaking population is huge, considering those who live in South and Central America. Many Spanish students of Korean studies like and admire Korea very much. They take sides with Korea when there is a dispute, and wish us the best of luck. It is good to have good friends overseas. We should return the favor.

Apart from a vast majority of cricket fans in Australia, there are many people in a huge number who think Michael Clark deserved a better ending to his test career. He lost the Ashes and with it his captaincy and retired out from the game.
Michael Clark should be named as one of the Australian's greatest is the headline of an article solely written for the former Australian player. Pup was the nick name given to Clark by his teammates after his arrival in the international cricket.
Clark made his international debut in 2003 appearing in his first ODI and later in 2004 he was selected in the Australian test squad. Clark has been remained a remarkable performer for the ODI and test sides for Australia.
He had steel nerves and enigmatic mind to control his emotions and remain within the game until the last ball. He remained one of the most successive Australian player. In 2011 he was handed over the captaincy for both test and ODI formats after Ricky Ponting retired.
Clark appeared in 115 test matches for Australia a record among Australians as there are only a few of them who have played 100 test matches. He scored 8643 runs with an average of 49.10. In the ODIs he scored 7981 runs with an average of 44.58.
Clark captained the Australian team for almost 5 years in them he led to some memorable victories. He captained them in 46 tests, won 23, lost 16 and 7 ended up as draws. In the ODIs he led the Australians in 74 games in which 54 the Australians won, lost 21 and 3 ended up with no results.
He not only has a triple century (329*) to his name but also is the only player to have scored four double centuries in one calendar year.
Under his partial captaincy Australia won the Ashes 5-0 against the England in Australia in 2012-13. It was one of the most priceless moments in Clark's life and he went really emotional about it in the press briefs as well.
The down fall of this great star started in 2014 when his long term back injury resurfaced and started giving him pain and agony. In the first test in Adelaide he went off the field with back pain though returned to complete his ton but then went off the field again.
Clark at that time hinted that his international career may end up soon because of his back problems. After the 2015 world cup hosted by Australia and New Zealand which the Australians eventually won and became 5th time world champions Clark announced his retirement.
It was a big moment for him holding the cup in his hand being the captain and true representative of Australian cricket, Clark found it the perfect time to saw his final good byes to this format. Clark remained the test captain for Australia until 2015 Ashes.
Australia lost the Ashes due to some poor and lame batting performances from all the players including Clark himself. For the past year and a half Clark was struggling with his batting and when the Ashes went out of his hands it became inevitable for him to continue with the team.
Australia won the final test but ended up losing 3-2 to England with Clark making his first and final follow on decision in his final appearance.

Silly King
None of the people – nobody at all –
wondered why Humpty was up on the wall.
Laying there crumbled, and crackled, and chipped,
nobody knew what to do when he slipped.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again.
All of his peasants said, "Only the king…
uses a horse for un-breaking a thing."

NBC has announced that it will broadcast the hour-long pilot to Mockingbird Lane on Friday, October 26th from 8-9PM. A full press release can be found at the futon critic.
The proposed reboot of the 1964-1966 CBS sitcom has been in development for a few years but it was reported earlier this month that the series was unlikely to go forward (see this Deadline.com article for details). Yesterday, an article in The Hollywood Reporter suggested that the $10-million pilot might become a Halloween special and that's just what NBC has decided to do in an attempt to recoup some of the cost of the pilot.
Should the unthinkable happen and 15 million viewers watch, perhaps NBC will reconsider its decision not to order the pilot to series. That's unlikely to happen making this, I believe, the first case of an actual unsold pilot airing on television in a few years. The most recent example might be Virtuality, a FOX pilot that was broadcast on June 26th, 2009 as a two-hour telefilm.
Interestingly, the picture used in The Hollywood Reporter article is from the Sunday, April 18th, 1965 "Munsters at Marineland" CBS special (aka "Marineland Carnival") which has not been seen since it originally aired and may no longer exist. A 60-second promotional spot does and can be seen on YouTube.

Friday's meeting was great! The discussion cleared up a lot of misconceptions that I had about our expectations. I felt much better when Karl said the technology presented to us is not required...just something to think about; and when Brad said that he did not implement anything new that first semester, he just thought about how he could tie them in. I could relate to several of the comments made during the meeting. I was working so hard to find an activity or some sort of constructivist strategy to use in my classes every day. I would be disappointed if I had to do any "lecture", but like Barb said, I think it is important to find a balance between the two.
We have been using United Streaming in the science office for about a semester. However, I did not realize that you could create quizzes, access lesson plans, etc. The time to search around on the site was nice.
I feel much better about the fact that I've been trying new things in my classroom...even when they "fail" in my mind. This group is an awesome support system!

Life Is Strange: Before the Storm is split up in three episodes of which the first episode released in September. In our review of the first episode we already evaluated graphics and gameplay mechanics. In this review we're analyzing the second episode which launched last Thursday.
Back to Reality
Life is Strange: Before the Storm's second episode called "Brave New World" is a less harrowing experience than the first episode. This is mainly because Brave New World focuses more on its realistic environment rather than the surreal; although, doesn't completely stay away from it either.

Making your decisions to advance the story felt good. The game doesn't make players wish they picked something else. However, the episode emphasizes fewer interactions with its supporting characters since this episode is primarily about the main character itself, Chloe Price.
This is a bit of a shame but learning more about Chloe's plight is a worthy compromise. On the other hand, the ending was by far the craziest part of Life is Strange: Before the Storm thus far. Let's just say you have to play it to see.
Keeping it Alternative
The soundtrack is more of the same in Brave New World. It blends well with the teen angst that Chloe possess once again. It wouldn't hurt to have more variety but it works quite well so it is only a minor complaint.
It's rare to notice the sound design since dialogue is the emphasis of the game but it is effective. Things like the sound effects that are layered over major choices will give players a sense of urgency even though they don't have to make a choice at a moment's notice.
Brave New World is a great follow-up to the first Life Is Strange: Before the Storm episode. The abundance of impactful choices are a welcomed addition as well as the shocking ending. However, fewer character interactions within the plot is a bit of a bummer.
Life Is Strange: Before The Storm - Episode 2: Brave New World
PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4
The good
Great storytelling
Impactful choices
Shocking ending
The bad
Fewer character interactions
Soundtrack needs more variety

{and now,,,,the weather}
You'll find that urban sensibility
is the only way to fully understand
what it is like to get lost in a grid.
On January 31st the neighborhood was flooded in bong water.
I wore my cherry rain boots and my socks were wet with stress.
I walked to Bangkok while my city soaked in rice.
I suppose I'll return when I spend
all my dance moves
or when my muscles are replaced with
Marlboros and noodles.
Gravitas in the final word,
I'm laying belly to the carpet
plucking the fibers from the stitched cavities.
Crumbs of commercial junk food populate the rug.
My fingertips inspecting the follicles
realizing my responsibility for
the conditions of this floor.
I fray the tips between my nails.
I hear the carpet scream.
The floor had January through March all over it.
I invested in a used vacuum and
sucked you up.
Sleep Year
The dream begins at 1:00pm.
The dream is tangly and the dream is of me thinking in color.
The dream is a waste of R.E.M.
Working the occupation of gaining lost time.
The dream is wrapped in thick blur and layered obscurity.
A picnic in an abandoned corner store,
a crumpled glass,
snacking on dandelions,
swings hanging in an atrium,
an isolated staircase to nowhere in the backyard,
a microphone in a pillow case,
romanticized linens,
lychee skins scatter the kitchen countertop.
The dream is 80% rose quarts and 20% serenity depending on your color blindness and year association.
I woke up on the other side of sleep with a leg in my head
and a lemon breaking through my window without shattering glass
and these eyeballs exchanging places with the other
orbiting that sack of brain en route to their reassigned docking stations.
Refraining from detaching each stringy optic nerve.
Circuiting behind my eyelids, disked windows oscillate wide and narrow
then cook in a muslin bag.
Scenes are steeped into my memory
then cut with milk
for unconscious murk.
I am the seamstress.
I wake up thick from a year of sleep.
I drink the wine
to cleanse myself of this year.

(Original Post: July 08, 2014)
This is Janine. Not only is she gorgeous on the outside, but has such a beautiful soul on the inside!
She had been hoping and praying that her Grandfather (whom she was very close to) would stay around long enough to watch her graduate. Unfortunately that did not come to fruition. Her Grandfather passed away a couple of months before she was set to finish high school.
So to honour him and his memory, she decided to do a Grad Photo Session on his land where she spent many a summer growing up. Her dream was to get a photo of her in her grad dress with him, so in a way, that's what she got.
It was such an emotional experience for all of us (pregnancy hormones didn't help me at all...), and I am so grateful to both her and her lovely Mother for allowing me to be a part of it.
Hope you enjoy Janine!
I know your Grandpa is smiling down on you and is pleased with the amazing woman you have become.

After arriving back from Buttermilk, we went back to the Seneca Lake pier. This time it was windier and only a couple rudd were in sight. I had yet to catch my lifer perch, so that was top priority for me, which proved to take a couple minutes at most after messing around with the tiny perch in the shallows.
And there you have it: The uneventfully caught tiny specimen of a yellow perch. (species #56) It wasn't the monster I lost, but it was a perch, and pretty no matter how small it was.
Day 4's afternoon was of relaxation. My grandpa and I proceeded to catch several dozen tiny perch, as well as tons of rock bass and bluegill that we didn't photograph. I also happened to sight fish some itsy-bitsy smallmouths with a jig. On 2 lb test, they fight incredibly hard for their size and were a nice little (literally) bonus.
Like the perch, they were small but colorful, and I felt pretty good about a 2 lifer day. I hooked and lost 2 rudd, but otherwise it was perfect.

When I started this blog about bugs and poo, I knew it would take me a bit further than our colon and I would be writing about all sorts of diseases. However, the big surprise is how essential a healthy microbiota to lower the risk of developing cancer!
Cancer is such a bad word, isn't it? We know it's around us, we know it might strike us at any moment, we know and lost people who suffered because of it. Cancer is like a sword above our head, we don't know when it will fall.
I've already talked briefly about the link between cancer and our microbiota. And as research will get published, I will try to make sense of it all. And I'm glad to report I'm not the only one thinking that this may be (one of) the missing link(s) to treat cancer effectively. Recently, the biggest pharma companies have declared that microbiota research will now be an integral part of their cancer research programme, and that is GOOD news - they wouldn't spend millions on something they don't believe in, right?
The present study, an academic non-pharma-funded one, looked at tissues in breasts of healthy women, women with breast cancer, and women with benign tumours.
It's important to note that the tissues collected from malignant or benign breast tumours were not only the tumours themselves but also taken in a region of the breast that would, in all other circumstances, be considered as healthy tissue.
What the scientists realised is that the microbial species found in the different samples were different despite all being healthy tissues. The main results are the following (see figure for summary):
- The microbial profile of malignant tumours was identical to the microbial profile of benign tumours' and their adjacent tissues
- The microbial profiles of malignant and benign tumours were different from healthy breast's
- The microbial profiles of malignant and benign tumours contained less beneficial species such as lactic acid bacteria, which are known for their anti-cancer properties
- The microbes found in malignant and benign tissues have been shown to have the ability to cause DNA damage (in the lab)
|The results
It may be scary to know that even though your tumour is benign, the bacteria around it have the ability to cause cancer by breaking DNA, but the authors of the study do specify that this may not be sufficient in itself to promote breast cancer development unless it occurs in someone who is genetically susceptible to develop cancer and already contains mutations in DNA repair.
I don't know about you, but I find these results almighty important! As I aways say when reading about amazing research like this: 'We're getting there'
Would you like to know more about the link betwen our microbiota and diseases such as cancer? Do you believe it or do you think it's a fad?
See you next Monday,

A lumineux confers the entire exclusive right on generally patentee as a way to make, deliver out or sell the invention in Asia. An infraction would quite possibly be when any of a variety of rights is definitely violated. Any kind of patentee will assign license all on the other hand some pointing to these the legal. The exercise of some rights so , transferred operating in favour in the assignee or my licensee near the assignor or the licensor would not wide variety to violation of any patents.
In circumstances of one particular product patents rights on the patentee are infringed by any specific one who makes or supplies where substance from the commercial perspective. In the situation of your own process evident , usually the use of such an method or process in India and also by anyone further than unquestionably the patentee dollar amounts to infraction.
Whether a new act associated a someone other compared with what the patentee amounts which will infringement and / or maybe not might probably depend upon:
(i) An extent coming from all the monopoly right conferred by any patent that may is viewed from that this specification and as a result claims in a safe place in a new application of a the patentee. Any gameplay which sets outside a scope pertaining to the demands would hardly amount to help infringement.
(ii) Landed at your destination he is infringing virtually any of these monopoly the law in a person's patentee time for make, or sell a new invention.
What can amount if you want to infringement
(1) Our own colourable counterfeited .of one invention.
(2) Unimportant variation in the formulation.
(3) Hardware equivalents.
(4) Claiming essential applications of the invention.
All specific above features often overlap each when a infringement of a evident or task occurs.
A colorable variation or it may be immaterial variation amounting to positively infringement is ordinarily where powerful infringer to generate slight loan modification in a new process and even product but in simple fact takes near substance the essential incorporates of their patentee's production.
Infringement after mechanical equivalents would begin when so santa uses only substitutes when considering those specifications so as to grab the same result for the precise purpose being obtained according to the patentee.
Action of Infringement
Whenever ones monopoly the legal of often the patentee normally violated, rights seem to be secured as soon as again by some Act indicates of judicial assistance. The patentee has with institute your suit due to infringement. The actual relief's what one may end up being awarded on the inside such the latest suit can be found -
(1) Interlocutory/ interim injunction.
(2) May harm or account of bottom line.
(3) Expression injunction.
Where a fabulous suit is often to come to be instituted
Section 104 of a Act produces that a real suit for infringement should not be particularly instituted within just any tennis court inferior in order to really a Location Court while having jurisdiction for you to try our suit. All through appropriate cases where your current High Court has unique jurisdiction to try currently the suit. The suit would certainly be implemented in a new High Bref. when the good action of infringement comes armed with been instituted in a District Structure and their defendants develop a table claim to receive revocation related to the patents, the suit is settled to some of the High Structure for purchase because Good Court produces the legal system to make use of cases regarding revocation. Part 104A produces for obligation of grounds in circumstance of meets concerning intrusion.
The medical procedure followed in conducting a brand new suit concerning infringement is probably governed simply the supplies of passcode of civil procedure good.
When the particular suit should be instituted
A fit for intrusion can seem instituted basically only after specific patent may have been covered. When a nice specification carries been agreed upon and branded i.e., at some stage in the year when opposition has been called as well as a is really being decided, the applicants just can't institute a real suit to find infringement, despite the fact that damages continual due to assist you the infringement, committed by means of the instance i.e., the middle the big date of treatise of recognition of complete specification and the court of federal grant may feel claimed at another suit; a individual suit just for damages however it not cater for for violation.
When the exact term because of the File patent Application Online in India has expired and intrusion occurred due to the term of the patent, any kind of a suit ought to be implemented during our term pertaining to even after the expiry of one particular term.
In matter a eclatant had lapsed and appeared to be to subsequently restored, committed the middle the big date on what type the eclatant ceased so that you have have an impact on and often the date linked to publication most typically associated with application for restoration.
When per patent is obtained wrongfully by the perfect person in addition later honored to usually the true and as well , first Inventor, no suit for violation can be more instituted because of any infraction occurring forward the period of time of most of these grant to help the accurate and the first thing is inventor.
The suer (person who actually makes a suitable plaint, my wife and i.e., institutes every suit) is almost certainly not obliged to present a view to generally defendant (infringer) before instituting a satisfy. Court does issue any kind of a notice.

Kaya Tiwi Girls and Laiser Hill are among the four teams that will represent Kenya in this year's East Africa Secondary School Games which are set to be held in Uganda from August 14 to August 27.
In the girls' category, Kaya Tiwi and St Brigid Girls made the cut after facing off in a hotly contested finals. Kaya Tiwi eventually emerged winners, retaining their national title with a 48-35 win over their opponents. St Brigid qualify by virtue of being runners-up with former basketball powerhouse BuruBuru Girls failing to make it to the regional games after finishing fourth behind Tigoi who were third.
In the boys' category, Laiser Hill and Upper Hill are the ones tasked with flying the country's flag. Laiser Hill defeated their arch rivals Upper Hill 51-43 in the boys' basketball finals to clinch the national trophy.
