You Are Not a Yogi..
I'm not going to lie, this winter has been a doozie. Anybody else? I'm not here to complain, though. I'm actually feeling pretty dang strong. I am smack dab in the middle of the challenging and difficult process of letting go of relationships that are unhealthy, and transitioning into a space where I am honoring what's best for my heart so that I can give it back tenfold. And in the midst of it all, I come back to yoga. Not just yoga as in get on my mat and move, but deeper than that. I've been doing a lot of reflection on what this practice means to me, and what I aim to share as a teacher/guide in a market that is filled with mixed messages and opinions.
In our culture, yoga has been turned into a massive enterprise and multi-million dollar industry. We have clothing companies telling us what to wear and how to look in what we wear, we have Instagram telling us what poses we should be able to do, and we have mat, towel and accessory companies telling us what props we need to be "cool" and what kind of lifestyle is "necessary" to be a yogi. We see ads for Mala Beads and essential oils used by attractive 20-somethings in beautiful destinations. Don't get me wrong, in 2018, I think yoga-related companies have their place, and those of us who give our time to teaching yoga or providing yoga accessories/clothes/etc. to others need to make a profit. I'm a business person too, and I get it. But here's the thing:
You are not a yogi based off of what clothes you wear. You are not a yogi based off of what mat you use or whether your mat is brand new or 10 years old. You are not a yogi based off of what studio you practice at, or if you practice at a studio at all. You're certainly not a yogi based off of your number of followers on social media, or whether you even have an Instagram page. I don't care if you can do a handstand or touch your toes. It doesn't matter how you look, what color your skin is, or how old you are.
If you find yourself concerned about what your yoga looks like, it's time to dive deeper into the practice.
And this is your doorway in. I'm not here to tell you what to do or how or where or when. But I do strive to encourage you to find your practice within yourself - not in an Instagram page, not in an Alo magazine. You're not a yogi because of those things. You're a yogi based off of your heart, your intention, your love. Are you willing to step into the fire of growth and let your heart break open? Are you willing to mess up, to make it right and to move forward? Can you do it all with a kind heart, and when you don't, can you own it and make it right?
This is where the ethics of yoga come in, or the yamas + niyamas. These include:
ahimsa (non-harming)
satya (truthfulness)
asteya (responsibility)
brahmacharya (unity)
aparigraha (generosity)
saucha (clarity, purity)
santosha (contentment)
tapas (discipline)
svadyaya (self-study)
ishvara pranidhana (surrender)
It is my intention to spend the summer diving deep into these with you guys. And I want to clarify that I love a good handstand. It's okay to want to achieve crazy poses (if that's healthy for your body!) but at the end of the day, these ethics are the roots. This is where our true growth lies. This is yoga.

September is a time for goal-setting, and yesterday I met a huge one for myself. I met two girlfriends for an hour and a half to chat in person. This is shockingly indicative of the state of my inner self. Technology and social media have certainly affected the way I connect with others and I am finding that the depth of relationships solidified with twitter responses or Instagram comments is just not enough to get by. There is nothing that can replace community and connection. Gratitude. Trust. Vulnerability. And solitude.
I've been thinking a ton lately about mindfulness. Mainly because my head feels like it will explode. Chasing likes on social media, smartphone pings, managing a busy family and needing to be 'immediately creative' all make achieving a heightened sense of wellbeing near impossible.
Thankfully, help becons. The phenom that is Deepak Chopra will be speaking about the future of wellbeing in Vancouver on October 10th and Toronto, October 13th, 2018.
He will share new insights from his latest work The Healing Self and explore some of the most important and baffling questions, like:
- Can social media and mindfulness co-exist?
- Has technology affected the way we connect as humans?
- Are we in the midst of a major paradigm shift in science?
- How does our understanding of consciousness as pure potentiality enhance our capacity for intuition, creativity, conscious choice making, healing, and the awakening of dormant potentials such as non-local communication and non-local sensory experience?
- How does our understanding of consciousness also enhance our capacity for total well being (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, community, financial and ecological)?
Not only will I be in attendance at the Vancouver Convention Centre event, but UrbanMommies has partnered with Blissdom Canada to offer a discount code when you purchase tickets using code: Bliss15

When users install third-party calendar software, such as Entourage, the installation process may displace iCal as the the default for accepting invitations and other calendar-related functions. This will then prevent iCal from handling these features. While this may be desired for some, other users may wish to revert the calendar functions back to iCal without removing the other calendaring software packages.
Apple Discussions poster reimer1606 writes:
"I bought and installed MS Office 2008 for Mac because OpenOffice was not a solution...However, now Entourage seems to be set as the standard application to handle ics files, although I clicked yes when iCal asked me if I wanted iCal as my standard calendar app. Nevertheless, whenever I receive an ics file in Mail (generated by Thunderbird Lightning extension) and I click on the ics file Entourage opens instead of iCal, as it used to be."
Many applications, including iCal, have options for setting default functions. However, iCal sometimes does not take over all calendar associations when it is set as the default. It seems that the problem lies with iCal not being associated with the ".ics" filetypes. To fix this problem, users should set iCal to open this filetype in the Finder.
Fix: Set iCal to open ".ics" filetypes Locate a calendar file either in a received or sent email iCal invitation, or by opening iCal and exporting a calendar to the desktop. Right-click the calendar and get information on the file. Then under the "Open With" section, select "iCal" from the drop-down menu (or locate the application if it is not in the menu) and then click "Change All..." to associate all calendar filetypes with the iCal program. This should result in iCal being accessed by default when .ics files are opened, either directly by a user or by an application.Resources

It was one of the hottest days of summer, in the 1st week of May. And its unbearable in Chennai when you don't have electricity for a night and most of the next day.
We went to Mahesh mama's house to get some relief, but somehow our bad luck came there too. We were all trying to nap on the cool floor, but Disha had other plans.
She had taken a few tentative steps previously and would walk with support, but the heat apparently inspired her to run around the spacious hall, constantly babbling the entire time. She had something to tell to all the sleepy adults, who had to wake up enough to respond.
Its a memorable day, despite the sweltering heat Disha was walking, quite confidently on her own. And communicating in words.

A highly important museum quality crinoid plate crammed with fossils from one of the earliest periods of prehistoric life, displaying multiple colonies of fossil Scyphocrinites Elegans and reaching a total length of 7.8ft. Comparing this size to other large museum specimens of the world, as the 1.6-meter specimen exhibited at the Musée des Confluences in Lyon.
Scyphocrinites Elegans are a class of the Camarocrinus, cystoids and echinoderms; relatives of modern day starfish and sea urchins. The echinoderms earliest begginings are recorded in fossils of the Cambrian period to the great barrier reef of modern times.
The individual Crinoidea laid down upon a palette of softer pink to a deep wine red matrix (fossil rock-limestone) crammed throughout with specimen fossils, once an ancient seabed. The unique marine colony of pelagic Crinoidea preserved exceptionally well. The author suggests the pelagic colony may have been overcome by a primary disaster scenario, a tsunami type event which may have overwhelmed the animals causing sinking to the sea floor and quickly covering the colony, covering them with debris and silts and sea once again, so the process of bacterial breakdown was minimalised and in this way the Crinoidea were preserved in an anoxic environment.
Jurassic Cystoids are sometimes discovered attached to drift-wood, floating debris of fallen forests of that period of time, creating an anchor for the creatures to pelagically drift free.
- It is theorised when driftwood became waterlogged sinking to the bottom the crinoids went with it.
- Crinoids have been found in the fossil record to have had stems up to 40 meters in length.
- Scyphocrinites Elegans are neither classed solely as a plant or animal, they are a subspecies between the two groups.
- A member of the Phylum Echinodermata; sea lily originates from the Greek, Krinon; Lily.
- As well as situating in coral reefs and shallow waters, the Sea lilies persist in our oceans today, dwelling at great depths as far as 6,000 meters / 4 miles.
- ANATOMY - The four main parts of the Scyphocrinites Elegans:
+ The Arms; composed of an articulated series of ossicles (Pinnules) used in suspension to feed and for respiration. The gonads are also located in the arms where fertilisation takes place in open sea water during mass spawning.
+ The Calyx; the crown or aboral cup containing the vital organs, much smaller compared to the overall total-mass, mostly devoted to food retainment.
+ The Stem; columned to support from the baluster root to the crown.
+ The Baluster; The Baluster bulb root is thought to have attached to driftwood, coral and possibly help the buoyancy of these large Scyphocrinites Elegans during migration through the currents of ancient oceans.
Overall this plate of Scyphocrinites Elegans Crinoidea specimens is exquisite, beautifully preserved and expertly conserved. Each individual crinoid exhibits soft pearly greys, delicately contrasting against the soft pink and red limestone background curating a wonderful combination of colour.

Huddersfield Giants chief Paul Anderson will travel to Barrow on Sunday to watch Oliver Roberts and Nathan Mason in pre-season action for dual-registration club Oldham.
Anderson watched a recording of their performances for the Roughyeds at Leigh a week ago, and hopes to see more from them this weekend.
"To be honest, these blokes didn't do a great deal at Leigh," said Anderson.
"They've got another opportunity to play again on Sunday and this time I hope to see them play more like Super League players."

Decking in Your Garden
A versatile material, decking can be used as an alternative surface to paving, for hot tub or raised bed surrounds or to make use of difficult areas such as slopes. There are many types and colours of decking available including softwood, hardwood, composite and sleeper decking. No matter what shape your garden is, we can design a deck to suit your space and budget and advise you on appropriate materials for your site.
The types of decking we offer includes:
Softwood Decking
Standard 32 x 150mm or 38 x 125mm grooved boards
Non-slip 34 x 145mm grooved boards
Smooth finish 32 x 150mm
Decking Kits
Softwood Decking Kits are available in 3 different sizes:
1.8 x 1.8m
1.8 x 3.6m
3.6 x 3.6m
These kits are ideal for quick installation on flat ground where a relatively small area of decking is required. The wood is guaranteed for 25 years.
Hardwood Decking
- Yellow Ballau
- Tatajuba (warmer red tones)
Composite Decking
- Low maintenance
- Eco-friendly
- Non-slip surface
- Hard wearing & splinter free
- Long-lasting colour
- 10 year manufacturers guarantee
- Range of colours to choose from
Railway Sleeper Decking
New railway sleepers come in dimensions of 2400 x 200 x 100mm and are available in either brown or green.
Reclaimed railway sleepers may also be used if preferred but the creosote and oils embedded in them mean they are not as suitable in some situations.
Decking Accessories
With your deck you may want to consider additional finishes such as balustrades and hand rails which is a requirement for any deck raised above 600mm from ground level. The two main styles to choose from are the American or Colonial styles.

By Situation Theatre 27/04/2016
Last year the Minister For Crushing Humanity, Peter Dutton, was caught doing a killer comedy routine about ecocide in Papua New Guinea.
He's followed it up with some more top shelf comedy gold, this time targeting PNG's Supreme Court.
Mr Dutton lampooned the court for being "overrun with radical Marxists who respect the rule of law. Respecting the rule of law is so 2008."
He added "These backwater communists should take Australia's lead. Don't like the laws? Innovate them! Governments must change laws on whim to suit their pernicious political projects even if it means destroying the lives of thousands of innocent people. Otherwise the people smugglers win."

Important to work on mental and tactical aspects with spinners: BahutuleBengal coach writes about working with young spinners
As coach I work on the mental, tactical and technical aspects of a spinner. While working with youngsters, it is important to build their confidence.
Since the batsmen play spinners well in India than anywhere else in the world, there is a big chance that coming in to a Ranji Trophy match, a spinner might get hit a lot or an aggressive player would try to dominate and unsettle him. These are the kind of situations for which he needs to be prepared for. The mental make-up of a player is as important as the physical aspect.
Youngsters come from different levels of coaching, different formats so they have learnt something or the other along the way; so when they come to me at some stage I don't try to change too many things. Besides, if I also talk to them too much about the technical aspects it is likely to create confusion. With too much input their originality or (what) their strength is, goes away. I keep it simple.
I like to work more on the mental aspect and the tactical part. For the Ranji Trophy, the preparation is more about tactical and mental aspects to get wickets. I try to develop a spinner be prepared to bowl on flat pitches, where there is no turn and the bounce is very even, where it is easy for a batsman to play. The reason being, once you learn how to bowl on a flat pitch where there is no spin, it will be slightly easier for the bowler to bowl on a pitch where there is purchase from it. However, when you don't have any purchase from the pitch you tend to put in more effort; there is more body involved in the bowling action.
The tactical aspect is about understanding how to read a batsman - by looking at his stance and the footwork. With the availability of videos you can gauge where you can attack the batsman more. It is important for a spinner to read that and then set the right fields accordingly. Here the captain plays a crucial role in giving the bowler confidence and convincing him to bowl to certain fields in order to create pressure on the batsman. For e.g.: There are times when you keep short-leg and a silly point to create pressure and on other occasions depending on the pitch you can bowl without the short-leg and silly point to create pressure, forcing the batsman to make a mistake. These are small things, but they make a huge difference in setting up a batsman. Bowling on flat wickets is very crucial, I think that's where the bowler learns the most and becomes a good bowler.
After working with the bowler, a coach can then have a word with the captain during the meeting about what they have been working on and then it falls into place during a match.
While practicing it's only the coach and the bowler. One-on-one interaction helps the bowler become more aware of the situation and analyse it much better. I prefer not to stop and talk to a bowler when he is bowling. I let him have a spell, discuss and then let him bowl another spell. We usually have three-over spells. Between the spells we discuss what improvements can be made and the cycle continues. This helps the bowler himself realize aspects of his bowling. It helps him be a better analyser of his bowling rather than me constantly telling him what is to be done.
Building the confidence – I think the more a spinner bowls on flat wickets against good batsmen, he will himself understand a lot about self and will try to improve. If a young spinner overthinks, then it is bound affect his confidence and it will also create confusion. As a spinner one is bound to bowl bad balls. The moment you accept that, it is easier to move forward. It is about preparing yourself mentally.
Practice - I am from the old school and believe in spot bowling which includes bowling from different areas of the crease and also bowl the variations. Most of what I have learnt is through a lot of spot bowling. A bowler becomes aware of his action, rhythm, from where he is bowling in the crease, what sort of delivery goes through, how much pace is there on the ball and the flight of the ball through spot bowling.
There are different drills for different formats. In a four-day match the line and length is different as compared to one-day and twenty20. So practicing accordingly in nets is the important. In T20 and one-day, there is slight change in the line and length because batsmen tend to be more aggressive. The white kookaburra ball comes on to the bat quickly so the lengths are slightly shortened as that makes it difficult for the batsman to get under the ball and hit it.
With the three types of spinners – left-arm spinner, leg-spinner and off-spinner, coaching depends on the action of the bowler; it depends on how much effort he is putting in spinning the ball. Eventually for the spinner it is important to spin the ball and bowl in the right areas consistently. In the longer format you are bound to bowl 25-30 overs in a day and that too it has to be bowled with accuracy if you want to pick wickets. In one-day and T20, the overs are limited so the margin of error is less. It's important to spin the ball more than anything else.
When I guide spinners, I try to impress upon them the importance of bowling their stock balls more, 80 per cent of the times. It is the delivery; a bowler is confident about and is his go to ball during pressure situations.
I believe in having a good stock ball and one or two variations. He needs to have one or two variations which create doubt in the mind of the batsman. For a leg-spinner it can be a googly and a flipper.
In the nets we work on bowling a stock ball four to five times and a variation to create a doubt. Knowing your strengths is the key which you will realize during spot bowling. In the nets I give them situations to work out. E.g.: If the bowler has to bowl four overs to a set batsman before lunch in a four-day match how will he go about it? (Match Simulation) If you have too many variations then you will leak runs and you won't be able to create pressure or get a wicket. Then after lunch, the bowler will have to rebuild. So in those four overs if you concentrate on stock balls only and create pressure, giving away only about 10-12 runss, it will be economical.
In India we use the SG ball while Kookaburra is used in other countries. It makes a huge difference to the spinner so regular practice is required with both.
While coaching an experienced spinner you don't need to tell him much since he has played a good number of games and performed well through various situations. Most state sides have a combination of young and experienced spinners so it is important that they learn from each other.
In Bengal for example we have Pragyan Ojha who has got a good record in Test matches. There is not much I need to tell him because he has already performed in tough situations at that level and knows what pressure is, what areas are crucial to be worked on and how to set-up a batsman. On the other hand we have a young offspinner, Amir Gani and Pradipta Pramanik, who are Under-19 players and need more guidance.
I tell the young spinners to learn a few things from Ojha. He is accurate in his line and length which makes a huge difference and it creates pressure on the batsman which is what the youngsters need to learn from him. I explain to them these nuances and make them aware of it.
Also they can learn from Ojha's work ethic and it will add to their cricket, like I had from the likes of Anil Kumble in the dressing room.

The following is provided for informational purposes only and is not, nor should it be construed as legal advice.
Many clients ask me at what age their child can choose with which parent the child primarily resides. I am also frequently asked when the child can refuse to go with the other parent. Parents routinely tell me that they have heard that a child has the right to select which parent the child lives with when the child turns twelve years of age and that a child can decide when the child visits the other parent once the child is in high school. These are misconceptions of the law in Texas.
The Texas Family Code provides that a child who is twelve (12) years of age or older may express their desire regarding which parent he/she would like to have the exclusive right to determine the child's primary residence in an in-chambers interview with the Judge. If an interview is requested, the Judge must interview the child. Typically, the Judge will interview the child in the Judge's office at the conclusion of the trial after all evidence has been heard. By waiting until all evidence has been submitted, the Judge has an understanding of the concerns both parents have regarding possession of the child. The Judge will take time to establish a rapport with the child and listen to the child's concerns. The Judge does not automatically "rubber stamp" the child's request. The Judge is not required to follow the child's request. The Judge must still make a "best interest" determination regarding which parent should be awarded the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child. Further, a parent can only request this interview with the Judge if the pending case is a non-jury case. If either party has requested a jury, the interview with the Judge cannot be conducted.
Any time a Judge interviews a child in chambers, the Judge may permit a party's attorney, the Amicus Attorney, the attorney ad litem, or the guardian ad litem to be present during the interview. If requested by a parent or an attorney, the Court is required to make a record of the interview when the child is 12 years of age or older, and the record of the interview becomes a part of the record in the case. This means that the parent may find out what the child has told the Judge. The presence of the parent's attorney and making a record may have an effect on the child's willingness to speak honesty with the Judge.
Visitation issues with older children, particularly teenagers, can be very complicated. As the child becomes older, he/she becomes more independent. Many teenagers start driving at 16. School activities become more time consuming and teenagers begin spending more time with their peers than their parents. However, none of these factors permit the child to decide whether or not to visit a parent in accordance with a court ordered possession schedule. If a parent wants to force the visitation, that parent may demand possession of the child pursuant to the court order. If the child does not comply, the parent in violation of the order may be held in contempt of court. A petition to modify the order should be filed requesting a new possession order considering the changed circumstances of the child. In this situation, the parent may request the Judge interview the child regarding the child's desires regarding possession or access. However, the Judge is not required to interview the child when only possession and access are at issue.
Children are subject to possession orders until they reach the age of eighteen (18). Parents must comply with the possession order or they may be penalized. The child may voice an opinion as to custody and access but it is only an opinion, not a mandate. The Judge has the ultimate authority.

Whilst most of us Brits were sleeping, one of the biggest awards ceremonies of the year was taking place over in California. I am of course talking about the wonder that is Golden Globe Awards.
Of course, applause must go to the fantastic talent who won the awards themselves, but it's always seeing the amazing red carpet gowns that's my favourite bit. This year certainly did not disappoint! From Emma Stone in ethereal Valentino and Blake Lively wearing velvet and Swarovskis, to Natalie Portman's chartreuse homage to Jacqueline Kennedy, I just can't get enough of it. Ahhh the dresses... swoon!
It goes without saying that I just had to choose a dress to draw! It was Thandie Newton's dress for this year's Globes that first most caught my eye. She wore a striking, white, off-the-shoulder design by Monse which had long sleeves and beautiful copper-coloured sequins coming up from the hem. It reminded me of flames and I thought she looked absolutely, flawless wearing it. Opinions are divided over whether or not it looked like a cigarette, but I have to say I disagree. I loved it!
And did you see those (Harry Winston) diamonds that dangled across her collarbone and down her back? Wow! I thought it was the perfect combination of elegance and modern design.

Before I go, I must give a 'hats off' to Claire Foy too. She gave thanks to our very own leading lady, Queen Elizabeth, upon winning 'Best Performance by an Actress' for her role in The Crown. Good work!

In the summer shade of Harvard's Tercentenary Theatre, a handful of students of the Chinese martial art tai chi performed a graceful routine, moving in unison through controlled kicks, arm thrusts, and other slow motions that seemed as much ballet as training for war.
The students were led by tai chi Master Yon Lee, an Adams House affiliate who has taught Harvard students for the past 25 years. In collaboration with Harvard's Center for Wellness, Lee will be conducting free, outdoor tai chi lessons under the towering, vaulted trees near Memorial Church on Tuesday afternoons through the summer and into the fall.
-This guy has nothing to do with Tai Chi at Harvard!

In the summer of 2004, as I travelled all over northern India and happened to be in Hazaribagh at the peak of election campaign to be a witness to Lalu Prasad Yadav addressing an election rally, I was awestruck by the sheer anger against the central government and the amount of cheering from the crowd for an opposition leader. A consummate politician enthralling the voters with native wit woven in a fastidious political narrative is a sight to behold. Lalu is one of those rare politicians who can keep the crowd in rapt attention during his speeches and it is indeed an experience that shouldn't be missed, for his connect with his audience is second to none. "All of you who will support RJD in the next Lok Sabha election stand on one leg and raise your right arm" proclaimed Lalu, suddenly, in the midst of his diatribe against the central NDA government led by BJP. Thousands in the crowd immediately followed his orders and stood on one leg even as a sea of hands went up in the air. Then Mr. Yadav, in his inimitable style, squealed in mock anger, "You Yadavs will always remain dumb, what was the necessity of standing on one leg? You could have simply raised your hand, I had no chance of noticing from the podium whether you are standing on one leg or two!"… And there was an uproarious laughter in the crowd even as half of them tried to re-stand on both their legs, while the other half was unsure whether they should!
This incident, although funny to an outside observer, gives us an idea of the amount of control Lalu Prasad has on the Yadav psyche in the Bihar region and the general Yadav affinity to hero worship a single political leader in the heartland. Incidentally, Lalu was able to defeat the then external affairs minister, Yashwant Sinha, in Hazaribagh by a huge 1 lakh vote margin in the 2004 election (CPI, an ally of RJD, won that seat). Jharkhand on the whole was a major disappointment for the BJP and NDA in 2004 as the Congress-JMM alliance swept the state by winning 10 MP seats while BJP was reduced to a solitary MP, despite getting the highest vote-share. That MP, Babulal Marandi, later left the BJP to form his own regional outfit and the party was in danger of being totally decimated in a state that Vajpayee had gifted to the long standing demand of a people who had seen scant progress even after decades of independent Indian rule.
In 2009, BJP lost a huge 6% vote-share as was feared after the exit of Marandi, but the party increased its MP seat haul by a whopping 800% to win 8 out of 14 seats. This difficult arithmetic was made possible by the Congress's "go it alone" policy, which met with success only in UP and failed miserably elsewhere in the heartland; as a result both JMM and Congress lost 4% and 6% vote-shares respectively. What is clearly evident from the above chart is that BJP individually maintains a clear 12% lead over its nearest rival, but is not able to maintain a similar lead in terms of actual seats because of the index of opposition unity.
In the upcoming Lok Sabha election, the real threshold for any political party/alliance is to cross the 36% vote-share which would enable a literal sweep of Jharkhand. Since Congress-JMM have an alliance and going by the last two election cycles, it is theoretically possible that the 2004 result may be repeated (of BJP winning very few seats despite an individually higher vote-share). Practical electoral politics is a completely different ball game though, for there are two important factors that are going against the UPA;
- A combination of massive anti-incumbency against both the corruption tainted central government and the non-performing state government
- A reasonably powerful Modi-wave all across the heartland which is creating whole new social coalitions and enabling the united spectrum of Hindu vote
The second factor is clearly evident on the ground and is also proven in the recently concluded assembly elections in the neighboring states whereas the first factor is something that needs to be elucidated more clearly. Rahul Gandhi, the lone rival to Modi, is doing a roadshow today from the same Hazaribagh town where Lalu was able to create his magic just a decade ago. What is striking this time is the lack of enthusiasm among the people to even listen to the Gandhi scion. B.K. Harisprasad, the Congress general secretary in-charge of the state has been camping in Ranchi for the last two days marshalling all the resources at his command but is still unable to create a buzz. For instance, even the posters and banners weren't posted on the roads as late as 24 hours before Rahul's proposed arrival. Hundreds of youth Congress workers were fanning all over the colleges and schools to gather youth but were getting a less than enthusiastic response.
Consider this; Rahul Gandhi will be spending his morning at the Ashoka hotel conference room (Ranchi) interacting with tribal women who have been given special passes with seat numbers and at least 2 of them that I talked to were mighty uncomfortable about the whole exercise. Just goes on to show how distant Rahul and Congress are from the ground realities that they choose to "export tribal women" to a five-star hotel for a useless conference with the heir apparent (in the words of a local journalist). It is indeed a far cry from the Lalu Prasad Yadav of 2004 who was able to enthrall the crowd with his earthy wit to the hubris of a Rahul Gandhi of 2014 doing photo-ops with tribal women in five-star environs. In that difference between 2004 and 2014 is also the story of an India that I have witnessed firsthand, wherein a country no longer stands on a symbolic one leg at the command of a leader but wants to not only stand on both the legs but also wants to run like never before… towards an alternate destiny.
The chaiwala from Gujarat is the new euphemism for a hitherto backward India wanting to run, after getting tired of symbolisms of both the one-leg variety and the five-star kind. This tribal, mineral rich, eternally looted state of Jharkhand is possibly showing the way for India to rediscover herself even as anecdotal evidence from ground zero suggests a huge surge of support to Modi and his politics of change. To be sure, BJP hasn't exactly shown itself to be any different in Jharkhand in terms of governance, but nothing can be as worse as the current government in the state.
A state in deep coma
To understand the apathy of the present Jharkhand government one must really visit the state, it is an experience that will bring tears to the eyes of the most stone-hearted bigot on earth! One wonders how Rahul Gandhi can even ask people to vote for his party in this state. Everything in the state has come to a virtual standstill, no government department is functioning, nothing is happening anywhere and all you see is the tired faces of people all around you. Let me try and elucidate the deep coma that the state has been pushed into with a very important example.
Just a couple of days ago the chief secretary took stock of all the departments and made a shocking announcement in a press conference that only 30% of the budgeted expenses for development works have been utilized in the last 10 months. Yes, a visibly upset R.S. Sharma, I.A.S, told the whole world that of the 16800 Cr annual budget allocated this year for various development works, only a paltry 5050 Cr were utilized till January 31st and there was now tremendous pressure to somehow utilize the remaining 70% of the funds in the next 2 months, before the fiscal comes to an end!
Although most of the national media missed these shocking numbers (as usual), the people of the state are unlikely to forget this government for a long time to come. In fact, many people tell you that this is possibly the worst government the state has ever seen and not even the one headed by Madhu Koda showed such apathy for governance. As R.S. Sharma took different officers to task for their non-performance, he also knew that he is only addressing the symptoms of the disease, for the underlying pathology is a cancer of the political non-governance. Apparently no officer, right from the district collector to junior engineer, is safe in Jharkhand today, for he or she is not allowed to clear any files without paying a hefty fee to the political masters. The situation is so bad that many young junior level officials prefer to go on long leaves than to work for the government! No wonder that even allocated budget has remained unused to such huge proportions. What many local journalists are worried is that in the next two months most of the remaining budget would be swallowed by political corruption in a mad rush to meet the fiscal deadline.
Caste-Vote Matrix
Elections, especially in the heartland, aren't as straight forward as the logical progression of electoral consequences for non-governance or corruption should be, for caste is a variable that cannot be ignored. In Jharkhand too, caste-vote matrix is of primary importance as a tool to analyze and understand elections. At the outset Jharkhand is a tribal state which is also the raison d'etre for the state's formation, but scratch the surface and you will find all the colourful caste combinations that are part of the heartland politics – the Brahminical hauteur, the OBC mobilization, the Dalit imprudence, the Tribal dominance and the Muslim decadence.
The 39% of tribal voters are mainly composed of four main ethnic groups, of these Santhals constitute a 4th of all the tribals in the state with roughly 21 lakh votes which is why the Sorens enjoy so much of clout as they totally dominate the Santhal Paraganas. The other three important tribal groups are Oraon (11 lakh voters), Munda (9 lakh voters) and Ho (about 5 lakh voters). Apart from these dominant groups, there are scores of other tribes in Jharkhand with votes ranging from a few thousand (Bauri, Dom, Ghasi etc.) to a few lakhs (Bhuiya, Kol etc.). It is indeed a nightmare for a pollster to try and track all these communities so a broad spectrum of vote-weightage is used instead. Yadavs and Kurmis are the two dominant OBCs with roughly 16-18 lakh votes each, while the Telis constitute the third pole of the OBC vote with roughly 8-9 lakh votes. Among the upper castes, Brahmins have a lion's share of vote-weightage with roughly 9-10 lakh votes. Unlike other parts of Hindi-heartland, the Muslim vote doesn't matter much in the state which is also borne by the fact that Furkhan Ansari of the Congress party is the lone Muslim candidate to have won a parliamentary seat since the state was formed (he too lost narrowly in 2009).
One of the factors that has been responsible for BJP's growth in central and north-central India has always been the Sangh-inspired outreach to the tribal populace which has given rich electoral dividends. Jharkhand is possibly the lone exception, for somehow BJP's tribal strategy hasn't taken off the way it has in the neighboring states of MP or Chhattisgarh. Congress's ability to keep Santhal strongmen, the Sorens, politically relevant in the state for more than 2 decades has been tremendous. What has also helped the Sorens and the Congress is BJP's mishap with Babulal Marandi – this is one of those unsavory aspects of Rajnath Singh's leadership that will hurt the party for a long time to come, even if 2014 may push the issue below the carpet for the time being.
Our survey results should ideally tell us whether there is OBC consolidation in favor of Modi in Jharkhand too, especially, we should be able to examine the anecdotal evidence of Yadav's moving towards BJP in a big way (for this we are trying to track specific polling booths in Chatra and Manika assembly segments of Chatra parliamentary seat using RSSI). The Kurmi vote also could be a crucial deciding factor in the 2014 election and the impact of Nitish Kumar's split from BJP has to be analyzed. Similarly, our survey should also tell us if the Modi impact is limited only to OBCs and upper castes or whether the tribal voters are also looking towards the chaiwala from Gujarat with hope.
The geography
Jharkhand is divided into Chota-Nagpur, Santhal Paraganas, Palamu and Singhbhum (Kolhan) divisions. The Chota-Nagpur division is by far the largest and also a traditional stronghold of the BJP – it consists of the entire Ranchi-Hazaribagh-Lohardaga-Dhanbad-Koderma belt and is home to more than 50% of the state's MP seats numbering 8. The main contest in this region is between Congress and BJP while the other players queer the pitch. BJP had won 5 of these 8 seats in 2009, while Congress had won the lone seat of Ranchi (Subodhkant Sahay) and JMM had drawn a blank. BJP's good showing was despite the division of votes due to the presence of Babulal Marandi's JVM (Jharkhand Vikas Morcha) which had captured 5 lakh votes in the Chota-Nagpur region alone. In fact, Subodhkant Sahay won the Ranchi seat by a margin of just 13 thousand votes while JVM had accrued 31 thousand votes.
In the 3 seats of Santhal Paraganas, the contest is mainly between BJP and JMM, but Marnadi's outfit and Congress usually play spoilsport here; for instance, JVM got close to 3 lakh votes in 2009 and yet couldn't prevent BJP from winning two seats, even as Shibu Soren (JMM) managed to win his traditional stronghold of Dumka. All the seats here are multi-cornered fights, so the results can go any which way even with minor shifts in vote-shares. Congress may not contest any seat this time here, although Rahul Gandhi is supposed to be still keen on Godda. There is some talk of a silent seat-adjustment between BJP and JVM, but the situation is quite fluid yet.
The lone seat of Palamu and the two seats of Kolhan divsion – Jamshedpur and Singhbhum – make up the remaining 3 MPs. Of these, Singhbhum is currently held by former CM, Madhu Koda, as an independent, while Jamshedpur is interestingly poised as JVM had annexed the seat from the BJP in a bye-election due to another former CM, Arjun Munda, vacating the seat in 2011.
In Conclusion, the richest state of India which has seen near zero progress in the last 65 years has the potential of transforming India in the new century and is central to the vision of a Modi who wants to build a powerful economic platform from where India can take-off to new heights. The importance of winning Jharkhand could be more economic than political in nature, but the new messiah of heartland needs this state far more than most of the political pundits have understood.
[This is designed as a two part series, as Jharkhand is a state that many readers would be unaware of, in terms of the electoral and political landscape. Thus Part One is essentially introductory in nature, whilst part 2 would try and analyze the survey findings]

Good food and good times with The Good Grove
The warmer weather means it's time for backyard barbecues, dinner parties on the deck, and picnics in the park. Entertaining can be one of the real joys in life, provided you have the time to prepare, or better yet, keep it simple. With Blue Cow's new range of olives; The Good Grove it's a breeze to lay out a delectable spread or pick up something for the party.
Let's start with the flavours of The Good Grove Green Stuffed Olives. These large morsels conjure images of the Mediterranean region, white-domed architecture and azure water, the air fresh with a salty scent. Packed in brine, not oil, they're a firm, meaty olive, distinctly fruity in flavour, with a hint of smokiness. The centre pimento's sweetness is a perfect counterpoint to the saltiness of the olive.
Perfect for: a summer barbecue with family & friends, perhaps accompanied by your favourite cheese board. Whether you choose one, two or three olives, that's up to you.
The varieties The Good Grove have included in the Five Olive Mix are the Kalamata, black, blonde, small green, and stuffed green. These are ideal for grazing as part of a meze plate or as a starter before the main meal. The citrus tang (from the real lemon and orange) and chunks of fresh garlic bring to mind a slow-cooked lamb shoulder.
Adding further depth to the flavour, a combination of fennel, oregano and rosemary bring an aromatic touch to the mix. The Good Grove have included a combination of whole and pitted, so be sure to have a pit bowl ready for your guests.
Perfect for: a simple dinner party starter, enjoyed as is from an elegant bowl. Or, for something different: gently roasted for 20 minutes and sprinkled with feta, sherry vinegar and fresh thyme for a surprisingly melty 'wow' moment.
The other exciting addition to The Good Grove selection are the Chilli and Garlic olives. With just the right amount of spice, these plump and juicy green olives have been given a hint of garlic, not so strong as not to be a total conversation ender for the rest of the night.
The acidity of red-wine vinegar adds its own bite, with a slow warmth from the chilli that's suitable for everyone – not just crazed chilli-heads. The unique spice comes from the coarsely crushed coriander seeds, which lend flavour as well as a pleasant crunch every so often.
Perfect for: a decadent picnic spread, alongside some crusty bread and a couple of ice cold drinks.
All you really need to keep a table of people talking is some cold drinks, a couple of cheeses, a bowl of olives and some crusty chunks of bread. Keeping it simple when you're entertaining also means more time with your guests, rather than doing the washing up.
If you're ready to taste the finest olives, you'll find the newest selection from The Good Grove at your local speciality grocer, IGA or Farmer Jacks store.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a special, special film. Many of us dedicated a huge chunk of our 2015 waiting for, dreaming of, and fantasizing about the darned film. It came out in time for Christmas, and it was pretty much the only gift we needed. (Thank you, Hollywood Santas!)
The film also cost a pretty penny to make, specifically $200 million. Luckily, its backer, Walt Disney, has fat stacks in their hidden Mickey vaults. (We made up the vaults but you get our point: They're rich!)
The guys who made the video below, of the YouTube channel Matthew Potter, are not as rich. They're also not third-world poor because hey, they still had the resources to make a parody of a big-budget film...had it been made with a tiny, tiny fraction of its true budget. Cardboard boxes, marker makeup, grade-school dioramas and ugly wigs make up this neat little clip.
Know what's funny? The Force was still strong in this one—as was the creativity and the passion. 10/10.

Long prior to the net, retail was well developed as one of the most competitive sectors to get in. The net has actually provided brand-new business owners the capacity to introduce their company with more ease, but it can still be difficult to locate a footing.
Despite the fact that there are tens of hundreds of retail web sites online, a few significant brand names continue to control, just like typical high road retail. By some range, Amazon.com is the largest online merchant of all.
The straightforward reality is that very few firms will ever before be able to take on Amazon.com. So why bother? The most effective thing that you could do if you wish to start an on the internet retail service from residence is to get involved with the Amazon brand and turn it to your benefit.
Read on to learn the essentials of getting up as well as running with your own Amazon company. You'll figure out that by treating Amazon as an ally, not a rival, you too can begin gaining a fantastic living from home.
Why Begin An Amazon Service?
Understanding how you need to sell products in the retail setting implies recognizing just what consumers look for when they get them.
Certainly, every consumer seeks the highest quality items at the lowest possible prices. If you could offer something truly ingenious, or get in an existing field with reduced rates, you can certainly draw in a big amount of rate of interest in your service.
However this rate of interest is just beneficial if it becomes profits. Regrettably, this suggests a huge leap of self-confidence for your site visitors.
On-line safety and security is far better than ever before, but retail trust is about even more than stolen bank card. As a matter of fact, it can take years for potential consumers to discover that you supply great products, you package them well, you dispatch them on time as well as you subsequent with terrific customer service.
Amazon is the greatest on the internet retailer since it is a brand that customers depend on. If you're selling on Amazon, they'll trust you as well.
Exactly how Does Marketing On Amazon.com Work?
Initially, you need to enroll in a seller account with Amazon. There are two types of account readily available.
The standard Basic Vendor Account is totally free, and also provided to those stores that market less than 35 products a month. Products could be detailed in approximately 20 various classifications, and you will simply pay a fee for every item sold. A substantial limitation, though, is that you could just offer items that are currently available for sale on Amazon.
As your organisation grows, you may intend to upgrade to a Pro Seller Account. This kind of account is billed at ? 25 monthly, yet includes the capability to develop new products, and also sell them across as much as 25 various categories.
For more information on the types of account offered, browse through amazon.co.uk/ solutions.
What Can You Market On Amazon.com?
As with any retail organisation, the initial step in successful Amazon selling is selecting your products. Amazon.com now has groups for almost anything. Usually, you have three types of items that you can offer on Amazon – which one is right for you?
Products That You Make – If you have an excellent item suggestion, or perhaps simply a talent for creating brand-new points, your products might fill a niche on Amazon.com. With little or no competition, these type of items are potentially lucrative – but it's unbelievably tough to be original!
Products From Wholesalers – The standard retail company design, you can source products from wholesalers or producers and also market them with a mark-up on Amazon. However beware – having actually supply delivered to your house address typically suggests acquiring high quantities of stock ahead of time! If you plan to utilize this method, think about decline shipping, where stock is sent off straight from the dealer.
Made use of Goods – From used books to DVDs, many vendors earn money from marketing utilized goods. When a client searches Amazon for an item, they will see your even more affordable used variation.
The most effective kind of product for you will certainly depend on your skills, your goals, and also the sort of items that you have gain access to as well. It's terrific guidance to just make a choice – invest less time considering your first products and even more time dealing with advertising your Amazon.com organisation.
One Amazon.com vendor, Tedric P, did exactly this. He started by selling computer game and consoles that he would buy from high road merchants that were shutting down their shops. Now, his items cover countless classifications and he is earning 30% greater than he remained in his permanent work!
Choose Your Preferred Order Fulfilment Method.
When you have actually chosen your items, it is time to consider exactly how you will get these products to your customers. Never rush head-first into offering without obtaining a clear concept of how the entire procedure will certainly work.
When you start marketing on Amazon.com, you have a variety of alternatives for fulfilment. Each has its own advantages and also your choice will rely on the sort of items you are offering.
First, you can maintain your company in-house and also send items on your own. This adds to your own workload, yet in the early days of your work-from-home service is typically the best technique. An additional wonderful advantage of keeping circulation in-house is that you could preserve control of your orders, minimize your prices, as well as include marketing materials with your plans.
Conversely, you might partner with Amazon to have them dispatch orders on your behalf. Fulfilment By Amazon.com, or FBA, is a service offered by the firm that is created to reduce your workload and boost the experience of clients. If you enroll in FBA, you will certainly be asked to send your inventory of stock to Amazon, who will certainly save it for you. After that, when an order is put, Amazon take care of sending your items – clients could also combine your products with the remainder of their Amazon.com order, or make use of services such as Amazon.com Prime for fast shipping.
Lastly, you might be able to get to an agreement with your dealer or producer if you have one. Making use of a procedure called decrease delivery, you can concentrate your focus on advertising items and supplying terrific customer care. All you should do is notify the dealer or producer when an order has been put, and they will certainly take care of sending it on your behalf. A decline delivery arrangement is also a terrific means to safeguard setups with dealers without acquiring big quantities of supply ahead of time.
How To Make Your Amazon.com Business A Success.
Starting your Amazon.com retail service is very easy. Making it successful is not! Similar to any kind of retail endeavor, promotion is everything. Amazon.com consists of a number of features to help you promote your items, however there is a great deal that you will certainly need to do for yourself. Here are 3 pointers to obtain you started:.
1. Take into consideration Exactly How You Compose Product Listings.
A product description is a hard point to write. It needs to communicate useful details while convincing, luring and attracting your prospective customers. As you write, ask on your own exactly what your consumers would need to know, and just how the item can aid them. Does it make them look wonderful? Does it save them time? Compose benefits-driven product listings that encourage consumers to act.
2. Encourage Task Around Your Listings.
Take a look at any type of product offered on Amazon.com and you will certainly see product ratings as well as reviews. These are crucial assets for your work-from-home service.
Ideally, your items will certainly be so great, as well as your service so fantastic, that customers will naturally group to Amazon.com to leave a message. However do not depend on that – always be proactive.
You could email your existing clients to request their evaluations. You could supply free offers to well-known bloggers within your sector to motivate them to connect to your item as well as evaluate it. You could even obtain your family and friends to publish reviews themselves. Every review provides reliability to your listing but, much more importantly, could lead you to the divine grail of Amazon – The Acquire Box.
3. Get In The Buy Box.
The actual results from Amazon.com marketing come from getting yourself right into the Buy Box. This is a complicated, practically impossible task, but one that you need to always strive for.
The Amazon.com Buy Box is the large 'Contribute to Cart' button that shows up on the right hand side of every item listing. For the ordinary individual, it is the only location that they will certainly click when they choose that they prepare to get. If you offer an item that Amazon.com themselves supply, they will always stay in the Buy Box. Yet if you do not, you need to work hard to obtain yourself there.
Amazon.com uses a complex formula to decide which firms are in the Buy Box, and the information of this have never ever been exposed. Basically, there is only one trick – to be the best seller feasible.
Provide wonderful solution. Send out shipments promptly. Usage Fulfilment By Amazon to ensure that Amazon.com can be positive that items will be dispatched correctly. Lower your costs and be the most affordable vendor on the website. By doing all these things, there is a possibility that you could find on your own in this profitable and in-demand position.
The Secret Of Online Retail With Amazon.com.
All frequently, people endeavor online to figure out huge secrets concerning their picked work-at-home occupation. The truth is, however, that there is only one point that you should do to produce an effective Amazon.com retail company: do whatever that you would certainly do if you opened up a high road store.
I opened this write-up by claiming that high road retail was competitive. The net is exactly the very same, otherwise more competitive. So be discerning with your products, be aggressive with your promotion and also be incomparable in your sector. If you can do all of those things, an effective Amazon.com amazon keyword research organisation is simply an issue of time.

I Hope, hope & hope you have a wonderfully friendly, neighbourly and family affair on the 25th of December. May your faith and beliefs enrich you and that you open your heart and ears and make the people around you feel special.
It's a stressful time for many; conversations are emotionally charged so it's best to listen and smile and not comment if you disagree. (That's my goal!)
Be the quiet leader of the gang and do what's needed to keep the harmony and happiness top of mind for the whole day.
Merry Christmas!

Investors are grappling with a new world order where the interplay between democracy, technology & information dissemination has produced less clarity, not more. Key points:
- China supports democracy in the West…because 'modern' democracy has weakened the West's 'moral law' – the most important of five factors in the 'Art of War' (Sun Tzu), and pertaining to leadership.
- The China/US economic 'war' is in full swing but there will be no military conflict between the two. The cavalry charge ended with machine guns. Superpower wars ended with nuclear bombs and mutually assured destruction. There is no Thucydides' Trap…but lots of 'white-anting' amongst vassal states.
- The economic war will cause collateral damage to investors in the wrong markets at the wrong time. Technology break-throughs are the new battlefronts.
- Technology has created ballistic mice- North Korea's GDP is smaller than Laos, but who has the world on edge? These are the new black swans and grey rhinos for the investment world alongside the FAANG stocks and other disruptive tech unicorns.
- Ballistic mice are also forming as domestic tribes in the West. Left-wing vs right-wing tribes, and special interest groups are becoming more vocal, more disruptive, more ballistic, using technology to amplify their power. Western governments struggle to control the domestic agenda. The elephants are on their toes while the mice play.
- Command and control nations such as China set their own agendas. However, their main risks are 'self-inflicted wounds' where policy mistakes can fester for years, whereas capitalist nations such as the US benefit economically from 'creative destruction' as reflected by the nation's rebound from its 2008 financial crisis.
- China is equalising fast with the West by implementing the 'Singapore model' of governance, and implementing its own 12 'core socialist values'.
But why can't we just all be friends?
Because the world has limited resources…and human nature (the negatives reflected in 'seven capital sins' of pride, greed, gluttony, lust, sloth, envy and wrath) hasn't changed over the centuries despite the lessons from history and experience. (for positives of human nature and of hope, see my future newsletters).
So what can investors expect? Read more below
Update on the West Australia Aus-China investment seminar 4 October-only 7 places left so please register now on this link (sponsored by Clayton Utz and HLB Mann Judd)
Democracy, tribalism and the moral law
The recent growth of Western tribalism (e.g. 'Not my President', Yes/No vote to same sex marriage), accentuated by technology-savvy activists disseminating biased information weakens trust and weakens a nation's moral law.
The moral law is the first of five 'constants' in Sun Tzu's military treatise, The Art of War. The moral law is the cause which 'unites the people with their ruler, so they will follow him (her) regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.'
The rise of tribalism and the lack of trust amongst the Western populace is due to, and further causes, the weakening of core societal values. To borrow from Sun Tzu again, if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be put at risk. The West today is at risk of not knowing itself….more on this in future newsletters.
So expect nearly all Western democracies to have very close elections between political parties, weakening the 'mandate' to govern. Russian interference in US (and EU?) elections make sense…their objective is to prevent any one party from having a clear majority…for a nation divided against itself cannot stand.
PS. China has already experienced tribalism (warlord-ism in the 1910s-1930s) and a breakdown of trust and core values in recent decades, which it is now seeking to rebuild. (see my earlier article)
An undeclared economic war
For investors, it means Western governments are unable to effect major policy change and are distracted by domestic 'mouse' issues, relative to the bigger issue of an economic war between the US and China.
It's an undeclared war, because 'all warfare is based on deception' (Sun Tzu). I've used the word 'war' but it's really competition between nations. A competition that deploys all forms of warfare except combat – e.g. espionage, soft power, propaganda, technological prowess, marshalling of government and corporate resources and supply chains when needed, use of vassal states and alliances, & financial acumen.
For investors, there are collateral impacts. South Korea's tourism industry has been hit by a de-facto Chinese embargo, with Chinese tourist numbers to SK collapsing after the US Thaad missile system deployment was announced. US-Pakistan relations are now on eggshells as Pakistan is won over by China's Belt and Road 'Strategy' ('Initiative' is the official term). Australian companies directly or indirectly dependent on sales to China (that's about half the nation) are at risk of collateral damage.
Tech battlefronts
Technology changes warfare. North Korea's nuclear program, Islamic State's global terrorism capabilities, and (the coming) drone swarm attacks are examples of the new grey rhinos from a military standpoint. But the biggest tech impacts will be in better information systems (for B2B, C2C and B2C deals), robotics, artificial intelligence, and better resource usage such as new energy. Technology breakthroughs are the new economic battlefronts but command and control nations will be better at implementation. (e.g. a decree is issued that XYZ city will now only have driverless cars as a trial).
Command and control
The 50+ year success of 'Singapore Inc' is testament to how good governance, rule of (British) law, minimal corruption, and big brother's guiding hand (e.g. relatively big fines for even minor breaches of the law, and a semi-controlled press) can make its people focus on material well-being instead of human rights. It's a model that China is emulating but on a scale 250 times larger (by population).
The difference is that China's in a middle of an economic war with little room for error, and has significant legacy issues to fix such as corruption, weak private debt markets and environmental degradation. Its Belt and Road strategy is to create new markets for itself as well as new sources of supply, away from the influence of the US. Its domestic consumer and services industry has to grow to replace its reduced export-to-the-West capacity, and its financial and environmental weaknesses has to be fixed.
It needs time for its governance standards to improve and time for the Chinese psyche to learn to 'follow the rules' as Singapore's population has done. And it needs luck (and humility) that any policy failures can be identified and corrected before they cause systemic problems.
The next five years under Xi will be the biggest change in China since the Deng Xiaoping's market reforms 38 years ago. And big changes in China means big changes to the West.
Meanwhile, please save the date. 20 November Sydney for BasisPoint's 3rd annual Aus-China Property Developers and Investors event. This year, it will be modelled on our successful Significant Investor Visa/HNW lunch on May 3rd (23 tables of 10) with guest panellists.

The former Geordie Shore star went under the knife to correct her 'uniboob', resulting in the reality TV star getting a sizeable cleavage.
And ever since she got her new curves, Charlotte Crosby – who is thought to be dating Ex On The Beach star Joshua Ritchie – has used every opportunity to show them off.
While ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear is travelling around Bali with new girlfriend Jessica Garthwaite, Charlotte has been on a retreat with her gal pals and couldn't resist flaunting her "revenge body".
After a dip in the jacuzzi, the 27 year old posed for a saucy selfie in a revealing, cut-out blue swimsuit.
With her brunette locks swept off of her shoulders, Charlotte ensured her eye-popping cleavage took centre stage in the plunging one-piece.
Letting the snap speak for itself, Holly Hagan's best pal left the photo's caption blank.
And some of her 6.1 million followers were quick to comment on the picture, with many left picking their jaws up from the floor.
"She looks amaze!" praised one fan, while a second said: "Very sexy!"
"These are mahoosive!" commented a third person, while a fourth simply added: "Wow!"
Charlotte was also flooded with questions as to whether she's had a boob job.
The brunette beauty set the record straight on surgery rumours in a recent interview with OK! magazine.
"I had the correction but I didn't have implants put in – they've just been separated into two boobs," she said.

BOSTON — Dave McGillivray, race director of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon and president of DMSE Sports, was given the Enduring Spirit Award by the Back on My Feet organization at the group's annual breakfast in Boston on May 23.
Back on My Feet (BoMF) is a national organization that uses running to create self-sufficiency in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, helping members obtain independence through employment, job training and housing.
The Friday breakfast was attended by about 400, including both corporate and city leaders.
"No one should be homeless and no one should live in poverty," McGillivray told the audience. "We all have a responsibility and obligation to help those less fortunate. Running can help raise self-esteem and self-confidence which is the first step for those who are part of the Back on My Feet community in reclaiming their lives."
"I've always felt there is no such thing as an individual award and as such, accept this kind recognition on behalf of many who have supported me over the years," McGillivray added.
After accepting the Enduring Spirit Award, McGillivray also gave the keynote speech, emphasizing that we all should "set goals, not limits" and that "the worst injustice one could ever do to themselves is to underestimate their own ability."
"McGillivray's speech was one of, if not the most moving, powerful, passionate and relevant speeches I have ever heard," said John Lashar, a founding board member of the Boston Chapter of Back on My Feet. "I feel very fortunate and lucky to have witnessed his heartfelt performance."
McGillivray, a Medford native now living in North Andover, Mass., gained national prominence with his 1978 cross country run that took 80 days and raised almost $150,000 for the Jimmy Fund – the first money any runner ever raised for a cancer charity, according to Runner's World. He has completed a number of similar feats of endurance since his groundbreaking cross country trek, including a second cross-country run in 2004 from San Francisco to Boston as part of TREK USA, a relay team event that raised more than $300,000 for five children's charities. He has now logged more than 150,000 miles, eight Hawaii Ironman Triathlons and now has finished 131 marathons – including this past Boston Marathon.
McGillivray is a pioneer in what is now one of the most important aspects of the endurance sports industry – combining athletics with philanthropy. Nearly every DMSE Sports event combines fitness and fundraising, giving back to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children's Hospital, Lazarus House and many others charities and non-profit organizations in New England and across the country. Since starting DMSE Sports in 1981, he along with all the events he has directed have helped raise $100 million for charity. The firm is now a leader in sports event management, specializing in creating, marketing and producing mass participatory athletic events throughout the U.S. and abroad.
McGillivray learned he had coronary heart disease last fall and has spoken out about getting healthy and going in for heart tests, even if you think you are healthy and in shape. He has lost 27 pounds, dropped his cholesterol level by over 70 points and has been following a very, very strict and healthy diet, which he credits as having given him his health back and now feels he is in his best shape in 15 years.
In addition to the B.A.A. Boston Marathon, DMSE manages more than 25 major road races per year, including the TD Beach to Beacon in Maine, the New Balance Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod, the Finish at the 50 at Patriot Place, Run for the Dream in Williamsburg, Va., the Bellin Run in Green Bay, Wis., the Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race and the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, Md., among others.

Unless the Bura (Bora) is blowing (and often when it is) Croatians are outside – living. They are gathered in cafes under huge umbrellas and awnings, sunglasses donned – hats optional, they are in their gardens, and walking, sometimes dancing, doing their shopping, sailing, scuba diving, riding horses, fishing, swimming and sunning. The concept of a 'sitting room' (aka living room) is beyond foreign and does not exist in any of my Croatian experiences to date (thus the reason I have sold nearly all of the normal accouterments found in an American living room). If you are inside with Croatians you are gathered around their dining table eating and talking, drinking (coffee or Rakia or homemade wines – the families of most Dalmatians of my acquaintance have been making wine for between 400 and 700 years) and talking some more. The TV is most likely on in the background in either environment and the atmosphere will be raucous and passionate if football is 'on'.
But more about being outside.
The thing is that Croatia boasts 3,630 miles or 5,840 kms of coastline so even with an onslaught of tourists (last year 11.3 million) visiting from all over the world from June to August you and yours will not be fighting for beachfront to claim or open water to enjoy. An astonishing amount of her coast is treacherously rocky outcroppings, a good portion golden and creamy white pebbled and finally some sand crescents so beautiful you might never wish to leave especially when coupled with waters so pure they are listed amongst the top in Europe for cleanliness and sunrises and sunsets that still all capacity for words. All along the coast home-owners extend their properties into the Adriatic with charming piers, sometimes enclosing the sea water (yet providing drainage) so that small children can splash safely at high tide in the heat of the summer afternoons. There is a very pleasant landward breeze that cools Croatia 'in the season' is called the Maestral.
Now, I am not a country bumpkin. I got over, and embraced (in theory), the 'bare it all' mindset of Europeans on my first trip to Budapest and the Hotel Gellert Baths but I must confess that I had never heard the word Freikörperkultur before this trip to Croatia; when your traveling companion, Ken Herron, tells you he spent a summer ostensibly 'studying' in Germany you learn all kinds of new things. So here we are, in Istria, doing our best to expand both our horizons, and yours, sharing all with you so that when you come you have the benefit of our experience and to save you some embarrassing (and costly) mistakes in protocol.
Understand this, there are three kinds of beaches to be enjoyed in Croatia – all appropriately marked – those with bathing suits, those where bathing suits are optional and those which for those who practice Freikörperkultur populate (the embedded link takes you to those nine nudist beaches in Istria). The first is self-speaking, take off your clothes here and get arrested. The second is nuanced; the third, if you show up and have bathing clothing on will get you a citation for not abiding by 'terms of use'.
Further there are 114 Blue Flag Beaches in Croatia (again, reference how pristine the water is) and Istria has 40 of these very special beaches which maintain the highest possible environmental management and quality standards criteria (a new list of awardees is announced each 5 June).
So yesterday, as we arrived in Croatia, I powered through some work and took a much needed nap (making me late for dinner!) and Ken set off to explore Rovinj's beaches. While I went to see 2Cellos after dinner last night, Ken went to bed. I was up late, posting this YouTube video from the concert, and he was up early. I am packed, but can't find my diamond earrings, but haven't had breakfast yet because I am writing this – I best hurry it's 8AM.
I have no idea if Ken went FKK yesterday or this morning – it's like "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" but as we enter the first official day of our participation in the #ShareIstria contest I hope you will follow us as #IstraKT (across social media platforms Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and help amplify our various posts on social media.

Will Tudor
Luke Baines cast as Jonathan Morgenstern in 'Shadowhunters 3B'
The rumors had been floating online about this one for a while. Freeform has officially confirmed that English/Australian actor Luke Baines is now playing the role of Jonathan Morgenstern in Shadowhunters 3b.
Jonathan is finally shedding the identity of Sebastian Verlac (played by Will Tudor) and we get to see him in the remaining episodes of the season.
Here's Luke introducing himself to the SH fam:
Katherine McNamara and Dominic Sherwood too reacted to the news on their Twitter accounts.
Shadowhunters will wrap up in spring of 2019 with 12 more episodes, although a strong #SaveShadowhunters campaign is currently underway on social media and in the offline world.
Tonight – Shadowhunters: A Dark Reflection (217) airs at 8/7c
Tonight, Clary's brother evil Jonathan is revealed to be hunting down the mortal mirror – the third mortal instrument – for Valentine in the seventeenth episode of Shadowhunters season two, A Dark Reflection, on Freeform at 8/7c.
Preview the episode:
Song list for The Fair Folk (214)
We now have the song list from tonight's Shadowhunters episode, The Fair Folk, courtesy the show's music supervisor, Lindsay Wolfington. Follow her on Twitter here.
- The Other Side – Ruelle
- Under Attack – Amy Stroup
- Hold Your Breath – Ruelle
- Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. Posth. – Dominic Sherwood
- Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. Posth. – Will Tudor
Will Tudor cast as Sebastian in 'Shadowhunters'
Here we are, Shadowhunters! We finally meet one of the main antagonists of The Mortal Instruments series, Sebastian Verlac.
TV Line is exclusively reporting that actor Will Tudor will portray the villain. We will see him first later this year in second half of the sophomore season.
"He's so good in this part," showrunner Todd Slavkin gushes to TVLine, throwing out adjectives like "amazing" and "mind-blowing." Fellow showrunner Darren Swimmer concurs, adding that there's a "vulnerability" to Tudor's performance that's truly "captivating."
As with the many changes from book to screen, the character of Sebastian will be different too.
"We really put our own spin on him the character," Slavkin says, though he wants any further specifics to remain a surprise for fans. "As we've done with all the episodes you've seen, we've always had our own spin on everything, and Sebastian is no different."
If you think he looks familiar, you may have caught a glimpse of him in Game of Thrones as Olyver.

Halina and Greg's Wedding at Cockliffe House
I had the pleasure of photgraphing the wedding of Gregg and Halina at the start of last month. The day started off with some preparation photos of the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready at Cocklife country house in Nottinghamshire. We then moved onto Emanual church with stained glass windows assumed to be by William Morris. One thing that I have been really enjoying about weddings recently is the combination of cultures different sides of the family can bring. It was great to see some Polish traditions and quirks added into the day from Halina's side of the family. The wedding also had the personal touch of Gregg arriving in the car which is his pride and joy. Also, Halina and the bridesmaid had some big balloons which matched with the colorful theme of their bridesmaid's dresses. During the first dance Gregg and Halina's story so far was played on a projector whilst they dance. Despite it raining in the later part of the day, we still managed to get some photos of the bride and groom in the beautiful grounds of Cocklife house.
