Tamilnadu - Ban on registration of unapproved Buildings and layouts to continue, further hearing to March 28, 2017..!
The Madras High Court (HC) has yet again declined to vacate its order imposing a blanket ban on registration of unapproved layouts in Tamil Nadu.
The failure of the Government in coming up with a comprehensive policy and frame rules to address the menace of mushrooming unapproved layouts and indiscriminate conversion of farm lands into housing lots, led the first bench comprising acting Chief Justice Huluvadi G Ramesh and Justice R Mahadevan to adjourn the case for further hearing to March 28, 2016
When a batch of PILs from real estate promotes, developers and individuals came up for hearing on Monday, the additional advocate general Mr. Ayyadurai told the court that the Government was in its final leg of framing the rules.
He also told the bench that the Government has proposed to categorise the lands into four divisions-recognised, unrecognised, wet land and dry land and that the rules were being framed accordingly.
However, the bench asked the Additional Advocate General (AAG) to come up with a policy decision at an early date keeping in view the different categories of public.
It may be noted that the September 9, 2016 ban has brought the thriving unapproved housing plot sector, which had expanded to every part of the state without adequate and proportionate state control, to a grinding halt.
Since the ban has also put the registering authorities personally liable for action in case any unapproved layouts and buildings constructed on them were to be registered, many lakh unapproved residential plots are idling resulting in many approaching the court to remove the ban.
However, the Madras high court has resisted any dilution of the ban on the basis that it would take the matter back to square one. It has also been insisting that the way out should not be a piecemeal exercise and a comprehensive solution was needed.
The ban had come about based on a plea moved by advocate and activist Mr. Elephant G Rajendran, to stop indiscriminate conversion of agricultural lands into housing layouts.

Meet Katrina from Baking and Boys! A mother with a house full of testosterone in the shape of 4 boys and her husband. I like to think she bakes to help keep her sanity (my words). How she manages to do it all beats me as I struggle with time management and I don't have any children! I tip my hat to my blog partner for this month's Secret Recipe Club.
I loved looking through Katrina's blog as it's filled with photos of her beautiful family and little stories of her life. Of course, it's also filled with yummy recipes, but I couldn't go past this particular recipe as it had my name written all over it....
Sour Cream and Lemon Pound Cake
(see original recipe here)
I only made a slight change to Katrina's recipe, in that I used full-fat sour cream as I much prefer the taste and texture of it. I'm really not a fan of low-fat products due to the high amounts of sugar normally added to compensate.
I also decided to add a little glaze to the top of my cake but melting down some yummy French jam with a good squeeze of lemon juice and pouring it over the top. To be perfectly honest, the cake doesn't need anything at all, but I just felt it needed a little shiny coat for it's photo session.
This is definitely my sort of cake as it's no secret that I LOVE lemon cakes (see previous recipes here, here, here and here). This one is not overly sweet and with a fairly moist and dense texture - this is not a crumbly, light fluffy cake that you can eat slice after slice of. One slice filled me to the brim and I loved every bite of it.
Thanks Katrina!

The large issues of the day are couched in loose talk.
They speak in Washington of a "grand bargain," a term utterly without specific meaning. "Grand bargain" is so bereft of concrete content that progressives and tea partiers alike can cry for enactment. But when it gets down to whether or how much Social Security or Medicare or the defense budget shall be cut to reduce spending or pare the deficit, no actual compromise is at hand.
Even within each fringe, no definitive agreement is to be found, only in the rhetoric of loose talk.
Conservatives have an advantage. Most of their talk includes references to freedom and oppressive government, concepts we all inherently favor.
Our grand experiment was rooted in hallowed concepts. The Pilgrims landed without any sort of government imposition whatsoever. They were as individually free as their small community allowed.
But soon enough they discovered certain communal rules and restraints were necessary. I don't know when the first tax was levied, but it was within their lifetimes that the original settlers had to raise money to be spent by the community for the common good.
In a surprisingly short period of time, we colonists rebelled against British control and fought a war for independence. Our ancestors wrote the Declaration of Independence, a clarion call that required the immediate addition of powerful government.
Even then the fight was on between those who saw a need for more centralized control and those who wanted to preserve local, even individual, prerogatives. Soon enough we fought the Civil War over that very issue. At Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln issued a call to partisans to preserve the nation. He wanted the people of the United States to preserve a common set of national principles and a government empowered to enforce them when necessary.
Ever since, we have been engaged in a steady argument over what those principles shall be and how they shall be enforced. The argument over whether we must have a strong national government is over. The argument over whether government shall act to establish and enforce social welfare policies is over.
We have periodic arguments about details � large details. We officially abolished slavery, then over time other forms of discrimination. The fighting was fierce and sometimes violent as vestiges of discrimination fell, but the movement was inexorable and ennobling and irreversible. Today an attempt to reinstate offensive elements of the past would receive no overt support even from the most conservative among us.
Some will engage in loose talk, often private, but when it comes down to it, they are part of the large progressive movement they like to bad-mouth.
Then we got into entitlements. Back about the time President John F. Kennedy was murdered, we were still arguing, sometimes violently, about whether black children should be allowed equal access to public schools. Soon after, we started a long and unfinished national effort to reduce poverty and provide security for the elderly and, yes, make sure all Americans had affordable access to basic health care.
One day before long, we will have established a working national health care program and the current argument will be a distant memory. In the meantime, we will endure a season of high rhetorical anguish. Familiar complaints about loss of freedom and too much government are heard. This is really nothing new.
Expansion of decent health care as an entitlement to everyone is not really that dramatic an idea. We already do it for elderly people, veterans of military service and the poor. We would not think of abandoning those programs. They work and meet generally supported needs, but health care for the rest of society is not similarly enabled. We still limp along with a system that is far too expensive and works well only for the richest among us. Our health outcomes rank below many other nations of lesser means.
Obamacare as currently concocted is by no means a final answer. It's a work in progress that could not begin in the form it will eventually assume. It's not that hard to imagine a better future, but it will be hard getting there so long as opponents are smart, well-funded and dedicated to opposing affordable basic health care as an entitlement we should gang up to provide for all of us.
We have seen that the "free market" and "smaller government" simply won't do the job. Health care is not like haberdashery.
My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.

This event has been marked mature level 1 due to the following, "asshole".
Stoney LaRue didn't plan to take six years between studio albums, but there was an awful lot of life and music going on. For one of the icons of the Red Dirt Music movement, it was always about the moment that drove him to his next destination."I had a fiddle player and people kept telling me, 'You need to get a band'," recalls the performer/songwriter. "Live at Billy Bob's was like jumping straight into the fire: two weeks after putting the band together, we recorded the album, hit the road and did 250 dates a year. We never looked back."Not looking back has been an earmark of LaRue's roots hybrid, a sweeping musical narrative that embraces a man's yearning, vulnerability, venality and desire. Though not meant to be a "state of the drifter" album, Velvet weighs the cost of being a man who lives by his own code against the reality it creates for others in his wake."I'm a big fan of looking up at night to what's out there and there are a lot of questions that come along with that," LaRue confesses. "I'd like to think I understand myself and the world I live in. I'm a father. I'm a husband. I'm a friend. I'm an asshole sometimes even though I don't wanna be. I'm a seeker. I'm a player. Maybe, too, I'm trying to figure out how to share something with people that will draw them deeper into who they are, the way music does for me."Music can heal. It can inspire. I know that much. I don't know if this record will do those things, but I sure hope it might."After six years and all that living, Velvet marks a new kind of cohesion for the man who's built a career on live performances. Working with award-winning producer Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Chris Knight, Lee Ann Womack) and Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Patty Griffin); Velvet was recorded over three years in Nashville, and finds LaRue melting down the playbook and expectations for everyone involved."I met Frank through Enzo, my manager, and we spent some time together and Frank said, 'I'd like to make a record on you,' and that was three years ago. I didn't really know what that meant, but I liked him, and liked what he said about music..."Liddell enlisted Glenn Worf on bass, Randy Scruggs on acoustic, Glen Duncan on fiddle, Chad Cromwell and Fred Eltringham on drums, Oran Thornton on guitar and Jim Hoke on accordion, steel and flute. Recognizing the power of cohesion for LaRue's voice, Liddell recorded the sessions with everyone on the floor, letting the musicians bleed into each other's tracks. "It was Frank's genius idea to put us ALL in a room together and FEEL the songs be born.""Chad Cromwell, who plays drums for Neil Young, said he'd not done anything like this since the '70s. All these session players, who do this for a living, really made me feel like this was something special for them," LaRue explains.In an attempt to draw out the sentiments beneath the surface, Liddell introduced LaRue to several "outsider" songwriters, including Mando Saenz. Saenz was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico and has lived in North Carolina, California, Oklahoma, Texas and Tennessee. He understands the reality of being a man always en route to somewhere else, the quest that is life. "There's a real non-pretension to how he writes... He's a poet, and when we start talking about life, it's amazing what comes out."I think I had blinders on in a lot of ways, and was surprised what was there when the blinders came off. The more I was seeing about what could go into the songs, the more layers kept being revealed."Certainly, there is a mystical, cedar'n'sunlight-on-the-dust nature to Velvet. In "The Travelin' Kind," LaRue ponders the reality of those who stay in one place versus those who're born to drift, "The apple don't fall too far from the tree, but the apple never swam in the deep blue sea/ Maybe you're just not a lot like me...""When we were writing, I wanted to be honest. I think the delivery behind these songs is important. There's a vulnerability to what you do, and a potential for so much more. Maybe your life is turned upside down, but as a man you can crawl out of it, and as a father, you can take care of your family, try to help find the bigger plan."Life isn't just about contemplation, though. There's also an edge of lust and danger. As the fiddle-stitched "Sirens" whirls through a brisk core sample of desire and life on the run, LaRue suggests that restless doesn't always mean comfortable. Nor is it the ultimate end game."Velvet's silky melody and gentle rhythms show the singer self-aware, recognizing that he's got too many miles behind him to deserve the person he's singing to, and yet... he wants her to touch his soul, to lighten his life, to make him somehow more."I've always tried to watch people," he says. "People's eyes are the windows to their soul, and when you look even from the stage you can tell how they're doing, what they're getting from us. It makes me want to stay connected and deliver at the same time. When people hear the songs, you can see it on their face. You can see it, too, still rippling when they're done listening to a song or leaving a show. It amazes me, really, how a little positive can undo a lot of negativity. It may not be the cure for cancer but my way of trying to help change the world, my palette has been my music"Velvet paints a picture of what it means to be free but aware, willing but uncertain and always, always drawn to the light. "I believe in a lot of things: Trust. Friendship. Smiling. The beauty of it all. And hope. Hope is one of the bigger ones...Somewhere out there, it'll all come together," Stoney LaRue is sure of it and it echoes on all 10 tracks.http://www.stoneylarue.com

First World Tour stop in Ostrava coming up
View of the centre court at Lower Vitkovice industrial heritage site in Ostrava
Ostrava, Czech Republic, June 19, 2018 – The FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour returns to the Czech Republic with its first ever stop in the country's third largest city, Ostrava. With four men-only and two women-only tournaments previously held in the capital Prague, this will be the seventh (and the first double-gender) World Tour event on Czech sand. The four-star tournament will take place from June 19 through 24 at the Lower Vitkovice industrial heritage site in Ostrava.
Quick links - Beach volleyball:
An impressive line-up of 113 teams (58 men's and 55 women's pairs) from 35 different countries, with all five continental confederations represented, have registered to play for their share of the $300,000 prize money. In each gender a 32-team main draw will feature a modified pool play system with the top three teams in each four-team pool progressing into the single elimination stage. With 24 duos seeded directly into the main draw, the remaining eight spots will be contested in qualifications to be played on Wednesday, June 20.
One country quota match played on Tuesday has already sparked excitement with a dramatic three-set battle, in which Brazilians Taina Silva Bigi and Victoria Lopes Pereira Tosta emerged with a 2-1 (18-21, 22-20, 21-19) come-from-behind victory to knock their compatriots Ana Patricia Silva Ramos and Rebecca Cavalcanti Barbosa Silva out of the women's competition.
Chantal Laboureur and Julia Sude lead the women's preliminary seeding on entry points at Ostrava. After Porec 2016 and Gstaad 2017, the German pair will be looking for their third World Tour gold or at least an overall ninth medal. So far in 2018, Laboureur and Sude have earned one podium finish only – their Huntington Beach bronze last month.
Two Brazilian duos are next on the list. 2012 Olympian Maria Antonelli has 13 gold medals on the World Tour so far, but only one of them is in partnership with Carolina Solberg Salgado. After topping the podium together at the Hague in 2017, Maria Antonelli and Carol will be after their second gold as a team. Each of them has numerous World Tour medals with various partners, but only three overall with each other.
Since after her Olympic silver from Rio 2016, Agatha Bednarczuk, who will be turning 35 on Friday, has been partnering with young Brazilian hopeful Eduarda Santos Lisboa - Duda, now at 19. In less than two years of partnering on the World Tour, they have already won seven medals, including two first places – at Rio de Janeiro 2017 and Itapema 2018.
Brazil and Germany will have at least two more teams each in the women's main draw. Three duos each from the Czech Republic and USA, two each from the Netherlands and Switzerland, and one each from Austria, Canada, China, Finland, Poland, Russia and Ukraine complete the list of 24 teams seeded directly into the main draw, awaiting eight more additions to emerge from Wednesday's qualification battles.
2016 Olympic gold medallist and 2012 Olympic silver medallist Alison Cerutti is teaming up with 23-year-old Andre Loyola Stein for the first time and the new Brazilian pair are on top of the men's list for Ostrava. Alison has a magnificent showcase of beach volleyball honours, but Andre has already won six (three gold) World Tour medals of his own to brag about, including the 2017 World Championship title.
Coming second on the list, two-time Olympians, silver medallists from Rio 2016 and reigning three-time European champions Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo have a long history together. For the decorated Italian team, this will be only the third World Tour appearance in 2018, but they already have one silver from Fort Lauderdale in March.
The top three of the men's preliminary seeding on entry points at Ostrava is completed by another Brazilian duo, Evandro Goncalves Oliveira Junior and Vitor Goncalves Felipe. The first World Tour gold for each of these two players dates back to the Berlin Grand Slam in 2013, when they played together as a team. Since then, 2016 Olympian Evandro has added five gold medals to his tally, including the crown of a world champion, together with Andre, in 2017. Vitor Felipe has brought his gold medal count on the World Tour to three.
Pedro Solberg and Bruno Oscar Schmidt are the third Brazilian pair in the 24 teams directly seeded into the men's main draw. Host country Czechia will also be represented by at least three duos. Four Polish tandems, two pairs each from Canada, Latvia, the Netherlands and Russia, and one each from Austria, Cuba, Mexico, Norway and Spain, complete the list.

" As a sort of surprise/apology, Capcom is developing two completely new characters that will also be released with the Vita version launch, for all platforms, at no additional cost beyond the cost for the main DLC download. These characters are Evil Ryu and Devil (Kazuya).
- Several balancing changes will be done before the Vita launch.
You'll especially see major changes in the DLC characters, because even though they were "completed", they were not properly balanced and some of their moves will have very different properties. Bryan and Lars especially have major overhauls."

What a week he's had. Scored his first MLS goal Saturday, and it was voted Goal of the Week. Coming back home to play the hometown team in front of famly and friends. "It was definitely a good feeling," John said. "Whenever you score it feels great, especially it being my first pro goal." John got to keep the ball from his goal. He said he'll probably give it to his parents. John also said he will return to Dallas with the team whether it makes the playoffs and practice with the team for another week. If FCD doesn't get in, John will return home in late November. It's been a tough year for John. Injuries have cut his playing time to half a season. He injured his hamstring because he favored it after knee surgery before the season, and has hurt it three times this season. But John has played the full 90 minutes in the past four games, and FC Dallas has won four straight. He said playing at the end of the season is critical, "especially when I'm trying to earn a job."

Chicago State's Dickens Athletic Center

Wednesday, January 9, 11:02am ET
American Basketball Association CEO Joe Newman told almostbasketball Wednesday morning to mind its own business.
Asked to comment on our report that Chicago State Athletic Director Al Avant said it would be "impossible" for the University to host Chicago Skyliners' home games in January and February, Newman bristled.
"Personally, I don't think it was any of your business to call Chicago State and to discuss the Skyliners," said Newman via email.
"The fact is that the operations, negotiations, and other business of the Chicago Skyliners are theirs to determine and any information as relates to their team is theirs to release," continued the league's head man.
Avant told almostbasketball Tuesday evening that his first contact with the Skyliners came just that day, apparently contradicting Newman's assertion that the team had "worked out a deal with another quality Chicago venue".
"This was this was the first time that I had any knowledge about their desire of wanting to play their home games (here)," Avant said, noting that a Skyliners representative had submitted a request only Tuesday to use the school's 2,500-seat Dickens Athletic Center.
This came after the second-year ABA team apparently backed out of a verbal agreement that would have seen them play at the Pavillion at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Newman told almostbasketball Tuesday morning that Thursday's home opener against Detroit, as well as games on January 13th against Indiana and January 15th against Southern California, had been postponed "to accomodate the new venue" and would be made up at a later date.
They apparently won't be played at CSU, where, Avant says, "January and February would be impossible."
Then, looking at a list of dates submitted by team co-owner Calvin Jarrett, Avant allowed, "If they want to come back and talk about March and April, we'll look at those dates. But they haven't even given me times on some of these dates.
"Our men's and women's (basketball) teams sometimes have a hard time getting in (to Dickens) to practice," said Avant, noting a heavy schedule of intramurals and recreational activities.
"Our first priority is our students," he said. Chicago State has 8,467 students.

the most out-there looking japanese beauty machines
Some appear ridiculous, some should be imported here ASAP
The Panasonic EH-SA96
This article originally appeared on AMUSE.
Japan has the best electronics stores in the world. Actually it has a whole district, Akihabara, renowned for its multi-storey electronics stores (and its maid cafes and nerdy toyshops and terrifying pornography). And in these stores you can find a dazzling array of machines to make you beautiful. Many of the futuristic inventions are not available anywhere else in the world.
Aisle upon aisle of hard-to-make-out machines in appealing pastel shades and undulating spaceship-forms: things that blow and puff at you, that twirl and caress your flesh, things to wear like a hat or put inside your mouth. Some appear ridiculous, others should probably be imported as soon as possible. The question is: can a machine ever really make you beautiful, and relaxed, and happy?
Pao Facial Fitness
Advertising this product Cristiano Ronaldo explains (in Japanese), "I'm an athlete, I train the muscles in my whole body every day, but there's one group of muscles I didn't train – and those are my facial muscles." Which rather makes you wonder (particularly if you have a dirty mind) how he's training all his other non-football-related muscles? But anyway this product promises to tone the corners of your mouth, to lessen your laughter lines and improve your jaw definition, and thus make your smile the best in the world. According to the instructions all you have to do is open wide your mouth as though making an "O" sound and flap this strange Ronaldo's pendulum rhythmically up and down for 30 seconds, through a 20 centimetre height and a 43-degree angle. It looks like a seagull has flown headfirst into your mouth and is very likely to make you smile.
Exideal EX-280
Like a magic mirror, the Exideal EX-280 promises to make you beautiful without ever touching you. Just sit with it for five minutes a day, push its button and bask in its beautiful, glowing grid of pink and orange LED lights; you'll feel like you're playing an unusually large game of Candy Crush. How this thing actually works is something of a mystery, but it changes colour as it offers seven separate treatment programmes combining different wavelengths of light, and is described in its literature as a "dependable partner that you can trust." Apparently it makes your skin like that of a teenage girl.

Karumba is fast becoming a must do destination for travellers looking for an experience with a difference
Karumba is fast becoming a must do destination for travellers looking for an experience with a difference
Today however, being so accessible, Karumba is fast becoming a must do destination for travellers looking for an experience with a difference.
The rich marine wetlands wind their way inland some 30 kilometres from the Gulf of Carpentaria coastline, this is truly where the savannah outback meets the sea. During the summer, monsoon rains replenish the waterways and attract a multitude of birds in preparation for the popular winter tourist season, when fishing enthusiasts along with many round Australia and overseas travellers descend on Karumba for some of the best wild caught barramundi in Australia.
Learn all about the fascinating facts on Barramundi, the marine habitat and Gulf in general at the Barramundi Discovery Centre where you can adopt your very own barramundi or try feeding the big mouth fish yourself.
Things to see
The Gulflander and the Railway Station
The towns greatest tourist attraction is undoubtedly The Gulflander. The railway line was originally planned to service the beef industry by running from Normanton to Cloncurry but the discovery of gold at Croydon redirected it.
The rail is a masterpiece of adaptive design. George Philips, the supervising engineer, designed special steel sleepers which proved so successful that they are still in use today. They can be seen at the railway station which is listed by the National Trust. It is an unusual building which has distinctive decorative patterns on the crossbraces which hold up the corrugatediron roof. It has become one of Normantons most distinctive landmarks.
The railway line was only a brief success. When it opened it was planned that it would become a major line and that Normanton would grow to become a major port. In its first year of operation there were 55 railway employees and the train was carrying 10 000 passengers each year.

Raising Puppies The Alfoxton Way
I am very lucky that I don't have to always rely on various studies to tell me how dogs learn or how to raise pups. At Alfoxton over the years I have been using the experience and knowledge gained from many sources that have built a system for our babies.
Nowdays there are friends who have become involved and embrace the concept of an open mind with each litter so we don't lock ourselves in to any published Puppy Development Calendar as we feel it limits our potential to develop new concepts. But perhaps it is partly to the fact that I don't like being told by others what is best, instead I love to find out for myself....
My Introduction:
When I started out I was lucky enough to become a great mate with the late Margo Haines from Ashlon Kennels. She not only gave me my first German Shepherd bitch but also helped me learn what was required for breeding and understanding bloodlines. We spent many hours drinking coffee at her table with pups at our feet or visiting other breeders to view their babies. She was there to hold my hand when my first litter of German Shepherds hit the whelping box in 1982.
Now 30+ years on and 20 litters later I find that I have discovered more ideas with every litter. The lesson learnt thru this, have meant that now we start the social program with our newborn pups much earlier than most breeders or studies seem prepared to recommend.
Here we are happy to share this practical information with others dog enthusiasts who might be interested. The following is the Alfoxton Way, but remember as stated previously, this is an ongoing internal study and there will no doubt be further additional discoveries in the future.
Get Ready, Get Set, Go.....!
When we built our home we had always planned to have dogs living amongst us, so our house is an open plan layout with slate floors that are very dog friendly (easy to clean and not too slippery). The open plan means that the mum bitch never needs to feel locked away from our family as she is right in the heart of the action.
Bitch is mated and the due date (60 days from first mating) is marked on the calendar – the heated whelping box is set up 3-4 days before due date and my schedule is kept flexible for that week. Pups are born, often by surprise, we then throw a big quilt over the table to create a snug cave for the litter and we keep things quiet for 3 or 4 days. Once mum and pups are settled then if needed a vet inspection is held and any pups not developing will be put to sleep – as in the wild we do not expect all to survive.
Start the Socialising:
All of our dogs, cats and humans have access to the whelping area, however it is up to the mother to determine when the dogs and cats are allowed in to the whelping area. The mother dogs have always allowed known humans to handle pups from birth and will accept most introduced humans under guidance. We hold/cuddle pups for 10-15 minutes each pup at least 3 times a day - snuggle them into our neck where our scent is easy for them to smell along with the vibration from our voice box to imprint the human to the puppy (after all these dogs are going to be human companions). Pups always seem to relax very quickly against our warm skin.
By the start of second week the mum allows the other house bitches to come over to visit and by the end of the second week these bitches are cleaning the puppies. Around the 11 days point some pups start lifting themselves up on their legs but just stagger like little drunks. Pups are now responding quickly to our human smell even prior to eyes and ears opening at around the 12-14 days.
Around 16 days they start to play box and mouth us the same as they do with their litter mates, at this stage they look like baby hippos at play yawning and staggering. Now is the time that outside known dogs will become very curious about what is in that box and come in and smell the pups, usually under mums supervision.
Around 19 days pups are starting to react to us when we make noises in the room - some even start to look up waiting for the movement. At this point we bring pups out of the whelping box and place them on mats spread around the lounge to investigate new smells. Now is the time that we start to introduce a bit of food, usually raw kangaroo mince smeared on our fingers, just so they get the taste.
At 21 days pups have started feeding from group bowls as well as having short outings outside to the garden to explore. The adult male dogs are not taking much interest prior to this point but now will wash puppies and help toilet, however they move away when pups want to climb onto them, yet the other bitches will actively encourage this play behaviour with minimal fuss. We also start outside socialising, so with a few into a crate they get their first car ride and visit down to friends houses where they get used to new experiences such as new dogs and different floor surfaces.
Four Weeks and Now the Work Really Starts!
Pups are now getting really active - their senses really start to kick in and are now very open to loads of variety in their life. We still try to work them in small groups when we go anywhere different however after having our J litter with only one pup, we discovered that pups are more resilient than we initially thought. Jabbah coped just as well going out on his own and in fact perhaps he became more independant thru need.
Between 4 & 5 weeks pups are eating four solid meals a day - meat, a muesli mix, egg, yoghurt and have about 3 or 4 quick drinks from mum which keeps their immune system strong. By six weeks they have had leftovers added to their diet, even some pizza crusts, a bit of rice or pasta. We also add small strong bones to strengthen their ear carriage and clean their teeth. At this point the male dogs really seem to get involved teaching the pups by offering gentle play techniques and showing the pups how to dig in the sandpit – all the adults start to share sticks and toys, often chewing an object and push to puppy to encourage the same response. The adults also start to offer some light discipline to the pups at about 5 weeks.
Puppy School:
We are lucky to have our own puppy classes running at our farm, this allows us to explore an early social package more than most breeders would, hence we bring our pups down from about 4 weeks into the class. 3 or 4 pups at a time and we take one of the carry baskets so they can retreat into their own cave when they wish.
The first week they are reserved to begin but then they will sit eagerly at the crate door and watch and lick the dogs that poke their head in, sometimes they venture out to have a little play if the energy level of the dogs is low.
At their second class they are much more outgoing sometimes even getting stood on before they rush to the feet of a human and then venture out again. But by the 6-8 week stage pups are more than happy to meet the new dogs and often show themselves as more experienced and outgoing than pups that are 12-14 weeks old.
By the time Alfoxton Pups go home to their new families they have got a head start. Ready for new challenges.
Notes: In our experience small litters of 4 or less seem to be even quicker to have eyes and ears activated often at 11 days. But perhaps that is because they get more stimulation than my current litter of 9 pups. Our litters are medium sized dog so it is likely that there are variations in development of the different size dogs or even different breeds. Very large breeds for example, may take much longer to get on their feet so social development would not occur until later in their puppyhood.
But either way the lessons I would like to impart is to read the studies but also trust your own gut feeling. Remember that perhaps the litters being studied are being raised by over protective humans or perhaps in a sterile clinical environment without the stimulus we provide here at Alfoxton?

Three albums into their career, the nine-piece Chris Bevington Organisation wowed an audience of blues, rock and jazz fans when they played at the Lichfield Guildhall.
The band – which consists of bassist Chris Bevington, singers and guitarists Jim Kirkpatrick and Scott Ralph, drummer Neil McCallum, keyboard player Dave Edwards, vocalists Sarah Miller and Kate Robertson, Mike Yorke on Saxophone and Adrian Gibson on trumpet – played a musically diverse set of their own music and well chosen covers that gave solo opportunities to all of the players.
They played music from all of their releases, with special emphasis given to their newest album, Cut and Run.
The gig began with Steve Ray Vaughan's The House is Rockin', with its thumping drums and bass, and calmed things down for their own ballad, Daydream, with its Memphis guitars and horn parts giving it the sound and feel of a classic soul song.
Express Train was, unsurprisingly, a faster song, allowing for plenty of frantic guitar work, while Let Me Know was a full throttle jump jive piece.
Despite the title, The Dark Side of Love was a fairly fast blues song, before the full swing and musical interplay of Everyday I have The Blues showed why this standard from the blues songbook has remained so popular.
Things were slowed down drastically for a re-worked version of Prince's Purple Rain, allowing the harmony vocals of Sarah Miller and Kate Robertson to shine, as well as giving plenty of room for both the guitarists to show all of the emotion they could ring from their strings.
A 15 minute version of Five Long Years – which gave solos to all of the nine players on stage – finished the set and showed the pedigree and the following that this talented ensemble is starting to gather.
A volunteer wrote this. Say thanks with a coffee.

Suzuki once again, drives The Block.
Suzuki is set to once again, drive The Block. Favourite Blockheads are back in the first ever series of The Block All Stars.
Phil and Amity (Season One), Mark and Duncan (Season Three), Josh and Jenna (Season Four) and Dan and Dani (Season Five) get a second chance to take out the big prize.
Australia's biggest renovation reality series will once again feature contestants putting Suzuki vehicles through their paces.
2012 Block series winners, and viewer favourites, Brad and Lara, take us for a test drive. Here's the lowdown on Brad and Lara's five favorite Suzuki models.
Jump in the SX4 Crossover, hit the open road and it'll feel like you're going on an adventure (and escaping the renos!). Tough SUV looks combine with compact yet spacious design to provide the ultimate lifestyle car. "I love the look, love the shape, love everything about it," Lara says.
The Grand Vitara offers car-like comfort with SUV spaciousness and cargo capacity that's perfect for the DIY enthusiast. Just like the couples from The Block, you'll find that the Grand Vitara's extra space will enable you to fit just about anything inside!
Really, what's not to love about the Alto? With sharp European styling it not only looks good, but it's fun to drive and has amazingly low fuel economy. And, the safety of six airbags and ESC makes it the perfect car for an urban lifestyle. "Another great inner-city car. Other contestants on The Block had the Alto, but unfortunately we never got to drive it," Brad says.
There's a reason the Kizashi Sport AWD is Brad's favourite. Something to do with the striking looks, luxury features including leather interior and dual zone climate control, perhaps? Oh, and the exhilarating performance and handling, of course. "Loved the Kizashi. Plenty of room and great around town. It performed even better on the open road," Brad says.

Budget 2018- R&D Scheme Changes Proposed From 1 July 2018
Changes are to be implemented with effect from 1 July 2018.
Companies with aggregated annual turnover of $20 million or more
There will be an R&D premium that ties the rates of the non-refundable R&D tax offset to the incremental intensity of R&D expenditure as a proportion of total expenditure for the year.
"Intensity" is the percentage measure of R&D expenditure as a proportion of an entity's total expenditure.
The marginal R&D premium will be the claimant's company tax rate plus:
- 4% for R&D expenditure between 0% to 2% R&D intensity;
- 6.5% for R&D expenditure above 2% to 5% R&D intensity;
- 9% for R&D expenditure above 5% to 10% R&D intensity; and
- 12.5% for R&D expenditure above 10% R&D intensity.
The R&D expenditure threshold – the maximum amount of R&D expenditure eligible for concessional R&D tax offsets, will be increased from $100 million to $150 million per annum.
Companies with aggregated annual turnover below $20 million
The refundable R&D offset will be a premium of 13.5% above a claimant's company tax rate. Cash refunds from the refundable R&D tax offset will be capped at $4 million per annum. R&D tax offsets that cannot be refunded will be carried forward as non-refundable tax offsets to future income years. Refundable R&D tax offsets from R&D expenditure on clinical trials will not count towards the cap.
Progress of legislation
The Treasury Laws Amendment (Making Sure Multinationals Pay Their Fair Share of Tax in Australia and Other Measures) Bill 2018 has been introduced to the Federal Parliament.
|New law
|Current law
|The expenditure threshold
|The R&D expenditure threshold is increased to $150 million.
|The R&D expenditure threshold applies to eliminate the incentive component of the R&D tax offset in relation to notional deductions in excess of $100 million.
|The R&D expenditure threshold is a permanent feature of the law.
|The R&D expenditure threshold is legislated to cease on 1 July 2024.
|The R&D Tax Offset for small R&D entities
|R&D entities with aggregated turnover of less than $20 million are generally entitled to an R&D tax offset rate equal to their corporate tax rate plus a 13.5 per cent premium.
|R&D entities with aggregated turnover of less than $20 million are generally entitled to an R&D tax offset rate of 43.5 per cent.
|The amount of a refund that an R&D entity can receive is capped at $4 million per annum.
Offset amounts that relate to expenditure on clinical trials do not count towards the cap and remain refundable.
|R&D entities with aggregated turnover of less than $20 million are entitled to a tax refund for any R&D tax offset they receive in excess of their income tax liabilities.
|The R&D Tax Offset for large R&D entities
|R&D entities with aggregated turnover of $20 million or more are entitled to an R&D tax offset equal to their corporate tax rate plus a premium based on the level of their incremental R&D intensity for their R&D expenditure.
|R&D entities with aggregated turnover of $20 million or more are entitled to a non-refundable R&D tax offset at a rate of 38.5 per cent.
R&D Scheme From 1 July 2014
Amendments have been enacted to limit R&D claims for expenditure above $100 million to a tax offset calculated at the company tax rate (30%). The measure takes effect from 1 July 2014 and has application until 30 June 2024.
When announcing the measure the Treasurer, Joe Hockey has said that fewer than 25 companies are expected to be affected.
Expenditure below $100m offset reductions
The government has also reduced the existing offset rates by 1.5% from 45% to 43.5% and from 40% to 38.5% for the refundable and non-refundable tax offset rates respectively. This was first flagged in the 2014 Budget.
These rates apply from 1 July 2016. For details of the amending legislation see Budget Savings (Omnibus) Bill 2016.
(The current offset rates are here.)
Quarterly credits abandoned
A government-announced proposal to allow companies with aggregated turnover of less than $20 million to obtain the cash flow benefit of the their R&D offset offset on a quarterly basis, rather than waiting for a tax assessment was intended to commence 1 January 2014. However along with a number of other measures it was confirmed by the Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey in December 2013 that this measure would not proceed.

Deadline for registration
Companies that have undertaken R&D activities during the financial year ended 30 June must register their activities with AusIndustry by the following 30 April to qualify for the R&D Tax Incentive. If the deadline falls on a weekend or public holiday the effective final lodgement date is the next business day.
Non-30 June balancing companies have a registration lodgement date which is the end of the tenth month following the substituted accounting period end.
The Current R&D Incentive Scheme
(as applicable since 1 July 2011)
The existing R&D Tax Incentive scheme provides two core components:
- a 43.5% refundable tax offset on eligible expenditure for eligible entities less than $20 million turnover, or
- 38.5% non-refundable tax offset for eligible entities with turnover of $20 million or more
For financial years up to 30 June 2016 the the refundable offset rate was 45% and the the non-refundable offset rate was 40%.
The research and development tax incentive provides a tax offset for eligible R&D activities and is targeted toward R&D that benefits Australia. The incentive came into effect on 1 July 2011 to replace the former R&D tax concession.
Basic Eligibility
To be eligible for the R&D tax incentive you must be an R&D entity, engaging in eligible activities and in most cases have notional R&D deductions of at least $20,000.
Registration annually
Registration is required:
- for every income year the offset is claimed
- within 10 months of the end of your company's income year
- prior to claiming the R&D tax offset in the company income tax return.
'Eligible activities' must meet a definition of core R&D activities. Other activities may be eligible as supporting R&D activities.
Detailed explanations and registration information: Ausindustry.
The Tax Office has issued a number of alerts targeting potentially incorrect R&D tax claims:
- Building or construction activities. TA 2017/2 refers to certain building or construction expenditure which is expressly excluded from being taken into account in calculating an R&D tax offset, or which does not otherwise relate to eligible R&D activities
- Ordinary business activities. TA 2017/3 refers to expenditure which relates to ordinary business activities and not to eligible R&D activities.
- Software development. TA 2017/5 refers to R&D Tax Incentive claims for certain software development costs which are not eligible R&D activities. An addendum to TA 2017/5 seeks to further clarify when routine testing steps in software development projects should not be claimed,
- Ineligible agricultural activities. TA 2017/4 refers to R&D Tax Incentive claims for certain agricultural activities which are not eligible R&D activities. This includes activities carried on by family trusts, such entities not being eligible to claim.
Pre July 2011 – and the transition from the R&D tax concession to the R&D tax incentive
Prior to 1 July 2011, the R&D tax concession allowed companies to claim a tax deduction of up to 125% (and in some cases up to 175%) of eligible R&D expenditure.
R&D expenditure incurred in respect of R&D activities performed prior to 1 July 2011, continue to be claimed under the R&D tax concession. See ATO detailed notes.

From 20 to 24 March 2018, Startups.be and Close the Gap join forces to organize a truly unique mission to Kenya, one of the most entrepreneurial countries in Africa, with a startup scene that attracts developers and investors from all over the world. We're glad to announce that Minister for Digital Agenda Alexander De Croo is joining us there too!
Engage with Kenya, the Silicon Savannah!
Africa is the tech continent of the future! As a new generation of young and ambitious people in Africa reaches the adult working age, the number of job openings in African tech startups skyrockets.
At least 370 tech hubs have sprung up all over the continent in the last few years. The number of new tech ventures has also risen to 3.500, with $1 billion in venture capital available to accelerate these companies (2016-2019).
The African tech hubs consistently make headlines in their effort to accelerate technology businesses at the grassroots level. They bring many new ideas and innovations, and provide in a gigantic source of employment opportunities for the local population.
The origin of Africa's tech movement can be traced back to Kenya, and to its capital Nairobi, that has been home to several major technological innovations in the 21st century. These innovations birthed Kenya as the Silicon Valley of Africa, now better known as the Silicon Savannah. Find out more via this link.
Close the Gap and Startups.be, together with key partners GEN Belgium and GEN Kenya, want to raise awareness about the tech boom on the fast-developing continent, and want to link young Belgian companies that have their eyes on the African markets to the local tech ecosystem in Kenya.
Both the organizers also aim for the co-creation of pilot projects in the 'digital for development'-area, with mixed Kenyan and Belgian teams. Close the Gap strategic idea is to initiate a social impact fund that has the vision to invest in such projects.
During our three-day mission to Kenya, we will visit - amongst other things - Nailab and other tech incubators in Nairobi, the edutech startup Kytabu (award winner of the prestigious King Boudewijn Foundation African Development Prize), M-Pesa inventor Safaricom, some of Kenia's most renowned investors, Andela Coding School (the coding school Mark Zuckerberg invested in), etc. The focus for the 'Silicon Savannah'-mission is on fintech, cleantech and agritech.
"Our delegates will get the opportunity to mingle and network with the most prominent players in the local tech ecosystem", says Frederik Tibau of Startups.be. "We also throw in an 'innovation challenge' to stimulate digital co-creation between young Belgian and Kenyan companies."
"Innovation challenges, that assist entrepreneurs in idea generation and development, stimulate young people to set up a company and make an impact", argues managing director Olivier Vanden Eynde of Close the Gap. "Moreover, the best startups that emerge from those workshops could be potentially supported by Close the Gap."
Furthermore, participants will get to know the ins and outs of the mobile money transfer service M-pesa (31% of GDP in Kenya is processed through M-Pesa) and the Kenyan kyama's - micro banks for small communities. A lot of innovation takes place in those small initiatives.
Will you join us and:
- Get to know one of the most thriving tech ecosystems in the world.
- Work together with Kenyan startups and co-create winning solutions that can be adopted locally or internationally.
- Mingle with fellow entrepreneurs from Kenya and learn from each other.
- Explore the Kenyan market, and get to know the needs of the locals.
- Meet some of the key players in the Kenyan tech industry and in the start-up community.
- Learn about the opportunities that arise in Kenya and in Africa, and validate your idea with local entrepreneurs and investors in an interactive setting.
- Get acquainted with the Kenyan fintech, cleantech and agritech scenes.
- Find local partners
- …
The price of the mission to Kenya is 1.500 euro per person (without VAT) for startups, and 3.000 euro per person (without VAT) for corporates and investors. Hotel is included in the price, but the price excludes flights.

Now that part one of the holiday madness is over (nice knowin' ya, Xmas), we're looking forward to part two: New Year's Eve, and all of the fun primping that goes along with it. Since it's undoubtedly the most festive evening of the year, what better night to break free of your usual 'do and try something completely different?
Inspired to ditch our overworked curling iron this year, we called upon the lovely Bethany Brill to show us an easy way to create a glam punk rock look that'll go perfectly with our party duds. What do you think of our textured alterna-updo, and will you give the look a try on the 31st?

Peter & Will Anderson at the Appel Room (JALC): The Fabulous Dorsey Brothers - New York City Article
Peter & Will Anderson at the Appel Room (JALC): The Fabulous Dorsey Brothers Follow @nyccitiview
How very fitting that the major brother act in contemporary swing music, the saxophone-playing Anderson Twins (Peter and Will) should celebrate the greatest brotherly team in the history of the big band era, the fabulous trombonist Tommy Dorsey and clarinetist-saxophonist Jimmy Dorsey. Like the Dorseys, the Andersons possess a unique combination of off-the-charts technical skills - all four brothers, both historic and current, are genuine, classical-level virtuosi - coupled with an equally immeasurable ability to swing and to entertain an audience. And, like the Dorseys before them, the Andersons know well the value of putting together a great band: in addition to the brothers themselves on all the reed instruments, there will be trumpeter Bruce Harris, pianist Jeb Patton, bassist Clovis Nicolas, drummer Aaron Kimmel, and two guest stars of Dorsey-esque proportions, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon and vocalist Brianna Thomas. Expect to hear such Dorsey classics as "Marie," "Song of India," "So Rare," and "Tangerine," while I, for one, will refuse to leave the Appel Room until I hear Mr. Gordon and Ms. Thomas sing together on such classic boy-girl duets as "Yes Indeed" and "Green Eyes."

Note from the desk of Executive Producer, Angel L. Brown:
I remember reaching out to Staceyann Chin via e-mail to participate in a documentary I was producing many years ago. Without any hesitation, Staceyann was down for the cause. Unfortunately, the project was put on the shelf along with the scheduling of her interview.
Years later with now a organization in place, Staceyann still remembered me and is still down for the cause to support what I do. From Russell Simmons, Def Poetry Jam on Broadway and HBO to appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Staceyann Chin takes time to talk with Queer Black Cinema. I am proud to announce Staceyann Chin will be the first to be featured on INSIDE THE Q, Queer Black Cinema entertainment news and happening new TV show. Staceyann will give insight on her new book, The Other Side of Paradise.
"Staceyann Chin, acclaimed and iconic performance artist, now brings her extraordinary talents to the page in a brave, lyrical, and fiercely candid memoir about growing up in Jamaica. She plumbs tender and unsettling memories as she writes about drifting from one home to the next, coming out as a lesbian, and finding the man she believes to be her father and ultimately her voice. Hers is an unforgettable story told with grace, humor, and courage. "- StaceyannChin.com
INSIDE THE Q tv show is scheduled to premiere May 2009. We wish Staceyann all the best and hope her book will be apart of Oprah's Book Club. Stay in the know by subscribing to INSIDE THE Q blog or QBC monthly e-newsletter firstname.lastname@example.com. In the meantime, you can pre-order order The Other Side of Paradise on the following sites: Borders.com. amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com. For a complete list go to www.Staceyannchin.com

By Staceyann Chin
"A deeply personal, beautifully written memoir that takes us down a young woman's road to discovery with all its struggles and heartbreak and ultimate joy. The Other Side of Paradise is a salve and a guidebook for all of our hearts."
-Tim Robbins
"Set in a Jamaica far from the tourist brochures, The Other Side of Paradise is Chin's rich and nuanced story of family and abandonment, love and brutality, and a child's struggle to survive and find a home that will accept her. This is A Portrait of the Artist written for our age. I love this book-and I am completely hamstrung by the feelings it evokes."
-Walter Mosley
"Staceyann's courage, sensitivity and bravery are exposed on these vulnerable pages. Captured is the fire, passion and light I experience when she performs. Liberating, beautiful and life-affirming, The Other Side of Paradise is simply incredible."
-Russell Simmons, author of Do You!
"[Chin] shows me a culture I knew far too little about – the everyday life of young people in Jamaica and the threat of violence looming over anyone who might be too independent or queer or outrageous. How wonderful that this outrageous, talented, determined woman has given us her story."
-Dorothy Allison, author of Bastard Out of Carolina and Cavedweller
To say that celebrated poet, performer and political activist Staceyann Chin is a force to be reckoned with would be putting it mildly. An opinionated figure, she is beloved the world over and recognized perhaps most famously for her appearance on both Broadway and HBO for Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam. Her work has been featured in the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, Jane and on 60 Minutes. She was also a guest on Oprah to discuss homosexuality in other cultures.
THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE (Scribner; April 14, 2009) is Staceyann Chin's long awaited chance to tell her story in writing. Born in Jamaica on Christmas day, 1972, Chin's arrival into the world was unexpected, as nobody even knew her mother was pregnant to begin with. In the absence of a mother or father to look after her, Chin's grandmother becomes her and her brother, Delano's, primary caretaker and biggest advocate.
Despite having their fair share of difficult times, this makeshift but loving family struggled together and Chin felt safe with her grandmother and brother at her side. But when the family's financial needs forced them to move into a shared household, Chin learned the hard way to repress her vivacious personality in order to blend with her environment. Eventually, events conspired to permanently separate the three. The result is a tale of loss and family, or change and survival.
Later, as Chin came of age in a succession of homes-some dysfunctional, some welcoming and some merely adequate, she developed an unbreakable sense of self. Having always been a lively and spirited child, Chin grew into a bright, headstrong young woman, clearly on the verge of carving out a bigger existence for herself. While her life has had many twists and turns, including a confrontation with the man she believes to be her father and her dangerous coming out in college, she has remained courageous in the face of adversity. Told with grace, humor and courage, THE OTHER SIDE OF PARADISE is an unforgettable story of triumph against the odds.
About the Author
Staceyann Chin is a fulltime artist. A resident of New York City and a Jamaican National, she has been an "out poet and political activist" since 1998. From the rousing cheers of the Nuyorican Poets' Cafe to one woman shows Off Broadway to poetry workshops in Denmark and London to co writer and performer in the Tony nominated, Russell Simmons Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, Chin credits the long list of "things she has done" to her grandmother's hard working history and the pain of her mother's absence.

Steam vapor cleaners use nothing but water to clean and they are capable of cleaning nearly any surface inside your nursery school or day care center including stuffed animals and toys exactly where germs and bacteria live and breed. Consider the parents evaluating nursery schools for their kids to attend.

This software is especially designed to focus on the needs of the child-care industry and offers access to consumer payment information.
