Name: Orlagh Shanks
University: Liverpool John Moores University
Course: Business and Public Relations
Twitter: @orlaghshanksPR
LinkedIn: @orlaghshanks
Blog: http://orlaghclaire.com/
Why did you choose to study PR?
I chose to study PR because I wanted a career that involved creativity, people, energy and where every day was different. I didn't want to spend my life in an office working with numbers, even though I was good at it and this was what my teachers and parents expected me to do.
I knew if I wanted a career like this, I would have to ditch the security of an Accounting degree
Being from a small town, I was drawn in by the celebrity, music, fashion and entertainment worlds and dreamt of one day being a part of them. I didn't have a firm grasp on what PR was or involved when I first started the course, but it was my friend's brother that persuaded me to follow the career. He had just graduated from the course I am on now at LJMU and was working for a record label as a publicist. He was living my 'dream career' (work trips to New York, LA and Nashville) and I knew if I wanted a career like this, I would have to ditch the security of an Accounting degree and go after what I wanted.
What has your course involved?
My course has developed a lot since I started. In my first year I learnt the basics of communication, dealing with publics, corporate communications, media relations and crisis management. Second year looked at the digital side of PR but also gave a better look at business in general, with modules in marketing and human resources. This year (my final year) we are studying campaigns, event management, change management and corporate social responsibility – as well as the dreaded dissertation.
What has been the most interesting aspect of studying PR?
The most interesting part for me was finding out how many varying career paths there are in PR and that the opportunities are endless with jobs available in almost every sector/industry out there. The options are there to become the comms manager for the NHS, or crisis manager for Brexit or even Justin Bieber's publicist.
PR allows you to follow your passion and love what you do.
There are so many varying routes to follow within PR which makes it so appealing as you can work in any industry of your choice. PR allows you to follow your passion and love what you do.
Have you done a year in industry placement?
My placement year was optional, but when I started my course I knew I wanted to spend a year gaining experience before graduating. I spent my placement year with Coty in London, working in the Luxury Influencer Marketing department. It was the best year of my life and gave me so many opportunities that I never could have imagined. It exceeded every expectation and showed me the life I could have, working in PR. It confirmed the kind of PR I want to work in once I graduate.
Have you any other PR experience?
I have experience working in various PR agencies for short periods. I have interned with fashion, corporate and entertainment agencies and also worked part-time in Internal Communications during my second year of university. I have recently returned to my Internal Comms role after finishing my placement year so will be working part-time while finishing my degree.
What are your aspirations for after university?
From carrying out my placement year, I know that I don't want to dive right into full-time work and start making my way up the career ladder once I graduate. I will only be 22 and have my whole life ahead of me to work. I hope to travel and see other parts of the world while also gaining PR experience along the way. I want to see how other cultures practice PR and learn from them.
Which PR blogs, news sites and websites do you read?
I often visit PR Week, Scott Guthrie's Influencer Marketing blog and other PR students' blogs that Richard Bailey posts on his PR Place site. I enjoy reading other students' thoughts on current affairs surrounding the PR world and also follow along their journey to becoming PR professionals.
Who is your PR inspiration?
I wouldn't be able to pinpoint one particular person, or one in the PR industry as so many people in business inspire me every day. Rosie Davies, Jane Woodhead and Cathy Martin opened their agencies to me for work experience and inspired me to one day open my own PR agency. My Director at Coty, Jane McCorriston, shared so much wisdom with me during my placement year that will stay with me throughout my entire career. Her way of leadership is also how I aspire to lead in the future.
Blogger and Influencer Victoria Magrath (In the FROW) constantly inspires me with her work ethic and attitude to life.
Samantha Barry (Editor-In-Chief of Glamour US) although not working in PR, motivates me to follow a career path similar to her own, being from Ireland and having made it as Editor at one of the biggest magazines in America. Blogger and Influencer Victoria Magrath (In the FROW) constantly inspires me with her work ethic and attitude to life.
I also consider my lecturers and connections on Twitter (through my blog) such as Richard Bailey and Conor McGrath to be mentors in a way, following along with my journey in the PR world, giving advice and support when needed.
I think all of us in the PR world are on our own little journeys as we have our own interests, skills and passions which allows us to have such varying roles in varying sectors but the same common ground of PR. Hard workers, those with a positive attitude to life and those who aren't afraid to go after what they want, inspire me every day.
What are your tips for A level students considering a PR degree?
I would recommend researching the degree and having an understanding of what PR is before choosing the course. It would be beneficial to talk to others that are studying the course or have graduated to get a feel for what kind of job they can have afterwards.
I'm so glad I chose to study PR
I'm so glad I chose to study PR, and it was the description of the course, my friend's brother and the city that were my main reasons for choosing it. I never imagined to have the placement year of a lifetime, to start a blog or have a firm idea of what I want to do after graduation but it all started with choosing to study PR.

The idea of using EFT tapping scripts for weight loss or anxiety may sound too good to be true, but many people have had success by doing exactly that.
In fact, in the book, The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence, Jessica Ortner shares the stories of thousands of women who lost weight and learned to accept and love their bodies using EFT.
Now, keep in mind that just using tapping scripts for weight loss won't make extra weight magically disappear.
It will take more than just tapping, but the tapping can really help you get free from any negative thought patterns that may be going on subconsciously, that perhaps have been causing you to overeat or reach for unhealthy foods.
You know, those thoughts that have you thinking that you're not good enough? That you'll never find happiness? That you'll always struggle? It's precisely those negative types of thoughts that EFT targets and works on changing.
What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?
EFT is a technique that uses the Chinese meridian (or energy) system to help heal emotional problems at their root.
Have you heard of acupuncture? EFT is essentially "emotional acupuncture" and is gaining much recognition because it simply works.
Gary Craig developed EFT more than 20 years ago, as he began a mission to teach people how to overcome their emotional and physical issues that held them back from success.
He has spent his life teaching EFT and has helped many people find emotional freedom.
To engage in EFT, you simply use your fingers to "tap" certain meridian or energy points on your face and body and this allows energy to flow freely through the areas, reducing or eliminating emotional issues at the source.
Scientists agree that at our very core we are made up of energy and many doctors will tell you that physical problems originate with emotional issues.
In fact, Dr. Eric Robins states that about 85 percent of illnesses are caused by unresolved emotional issues.
The Chinese have used acupuncture to treat and heal emotional issues for centuries.
EFT is essentially utilizing the same theory- that pressure applied to the main energy meridians causes blocked energy to become clear so that positive energy can flow freely.
Benefits of EFT
EFT is used to treat a variety of emotional and physical issues.
Many have used it on themselves or with an EFT practitioner to be freed up from negative emotions like fear, depression and anxiety.
People also use it to work on changing negative thought patterns that may be at the root of various addictions, such as food.
EFT is free and you can use the technique just about anywhere. It's also quite easy to learn. Here are some of the issues that EFT can help you overcome:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Fear (phobias and panic attacks)
- Food addiction (weight loss)
- Smoking
- Low self-esteem
- Pain control
- Sports performance
- Insomnia
- Addictions
How EFT Works
Over the years, plenty of old wounds can pile up in the energy system, causing you to feel a range of negative emotions.
Not working through pain or trauma can create energy blocks and faulty thought patterns.
Even when things are going great in life, some people find it challenging to feel a real sense of joy.
They may read some books or listen to something encouraging every so often, but they still feel stuck.
This is one reason some are turning to energy psychology and meditation today.
EFT works under the assumption that every negative emotion disrupts your energy system.
For example, think of a child that represses their emotions rather than expressing them.
They may do this year after year and not really notice any consequence until they are an adult.
But eventually repressed emotions or emotional pain catches up to you.
And then, you'll have to decide to work through them or continue to live in emotional misery.
Using EFT For Anxiety
A friend of mine began using EFT when she was feeling very anxious.
She wasn't necessarily going through a tough time, but every day she felt on edge and said she felt like her nervous system was on fire.
Learning about EFT for anxiety from a friend, she started practicing it every day.
Her symptoms of rapid heartbeat, fear, hypersensitivity, etc. she was experiencing would decrease or disappear as she practiced.
She stated that tapping on her energy meridian points while mentally tuning into some past experiences that she felt created her anxiety helped her to finally process her pent-up emotions and release them.
After a tapping exercise of say ten minutes, stating key EFT phrases like, "Even though I feel anxious, I completely love myself", her body and mind would be calm. To her, it was a miracle.
Along with tapping your energy points, you say a script that helps you identify with the emotion that you are feeling.
For example, if you're feeling anger, your script will include "anger".
If you're feeling shame, your tapping script will include "shame".
When learning EFT, you can simply listen and watch others and repeat what they are saying and doing.
It's not difficult at all. In fact, EFT is quite easy to learn to use on yourself and to help others.
EFT Reduces Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
Scientific studies indicate that EFT done regularly can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
For example, in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease in 2016, a meta-analysis was published stating that after looking at 14 different EFT studies that the treatment led to a "significant" reduction in anxiety scores among those who reported psychological distress.
And, in Medical Acupuncture, it states that EFT helps regulate stress hormones and increases limbic function.
Our minds and bodies are not meant to be full of pain. We are meant to walk in emotional and physical freedom.
Energetic imbalances can become balanced through modes of healing techniques like EFT, meditation, and Reiki.
You really can go from mentally tormented to emotionally free with a firm commitment to doing whatever it takes to get there.
You must make the intention to become free. If you're only halfheartedly trying, you might not experience the changes you desire.
Do Tapping Scripts Work For Weight Loss?
If you're struggling with weight, using tapping scripts for weight loss can certainly be beneficial.
Note that the tapping scripts will work with some of the core faulty thoughts going on, but may not get to the very core issues.
This is why some people will try tapping, find that it works for a while, and then later those faulty thoughts come back, kind of like weeds pop up over time.
This is why many will recommend using tapping scripts for weight loss, but also suggest seeing a professional therapist that may help you dig even deeper to contend with any trauma or core issues.
An example of how one weight loss tapping script might begin is, "Even though I feel horrible about being overweight and don't think I am worthy to lose it, I completely and wholeheartedly love and accept myself."
It's tapping on the specific tapping points on the body and repeating phrases like this that can unblock stuck energy and cause a re-wiring of certain neuropathways in the brain.
To answer the question, "Can tapping scripts help for weight loss?", the answer is absolutely.
What If the Tapping Scripts Aren't Working?
There are some people who try pre-recorded tapping scripts, but don't really get the results they're looking for.
There could be several reasons for this.
First, if you're listening to a particular tapping script by someone, that person doesn't really know you, so the script is somewhat general.
For example, let's say you're listening to a tapping script for fear. The script author doesn't know you in terms of the exact nature of how you picked up that fear.
They don't really get to work with you to dig down to uncover the true roots of that fear, so you never get to address the real cause of the fear; only the symptoms.
Second, a general script can't assess how you're doing and modify the script as you go along.
If you find yourself in a deeply emotional state, the pre-recorded script can't gauge that and take you through that deeper emotional state like an EFT instructor can.
Third, a general script simply stays on the surface level. Whether you're dealing with fear, depression, weight loss, or anxiety, an automated tapping script won't necessarily work like magic and cure you in five minutes.
Oftentimes, deep level healing takes time and an EFT instructor to peel the layers back and really contend with any unresolved traumatic experiences. This can be challenging to do on your own.
So, if you find yourself tapping and not getting the results you're seeking, you might want to consider taking an online EFT course or working one-on-one with an EFT instructor.
The individualized, unique approach to your situation will make a sizable difference.
Working With An EFT Instructor
Many find wonderful results working with an EFT instructor when they desire to get free from negative emotions, lose weight, heal old trauma, and so on. It's actually the best way to utilize the healing power of EFT.
However, if you're unable to work with an instructor right away, you can learn EFT on your own by reading or watching some videos on the topic.
There will be some variation in the scripts that people use, but you should find that they are quite similar.
The one thing they will all have in common is the location of the tapping points on the body.
In addition, educational sites like The Tapping Solution are excellent for getting you the breakthrough you desire.
It's common for beginner students to start tapping on their own with online tapping scripts, but many opt to practice with an EFT instructor or purchase an online EFT course.
The simple reason is that listening to a pre-recorded tapping script is not as effective as working personally with an EFT instructor or taking an online EFT course, where you can ask questions and be guided by an EFT professional.

Wrapping It Up
If you're wondering if tapping scripts for weight loss, anxiety, depression, and more really work, the answer is, "Yes, they can."
That being said, results will vary from person to person based on factors such as how often it is practiced, type of issues their dealing with, emotional intelligence, and more.
A word of precaution is in order when discussing the issue of emotional problems:
While EFT can benefit those seeking help for things like anxiety, weight loss, depression, etc., it should not replace mental health treatment for those struggling with mental health issues. It can be used in addition to mental health treatments, but not as a substitute.
In addition, consider adding other healthy measures like a healthy diet, regular exercise, meditation, mindfulness, prayer, and so on to deepen your own mind-body connection.
And, as mentioned, consider taking your EFT experience to a more individualized, deeper level by participating in an online course or working with an EFT instructor.
Here's your permission to begin a new journey to emotional freedom.
After all, you deserve to experience freedom, abundant love, and joy.

Malcolm Alan Knights, 1931-2002, was a dentist from Eastbourne, Sussex, England.
1958 address: 166 Victoria Drive, Eastbourne.
A member of Eastbourne Motor Club, 1957. Competed in a local Treasure Hunt in a Triumph TR2 in March of that year.
Knights entered a Triumph TR2 for Michael Anthony, #106 at Goodwood, 22 April 1957. Photograph mid-grid here:
Knights described as a member of the "Eastbourne branch" of the British Automobile Racing Club.
1958: Acquired A.C. Ace, chassis AE 40.
Eastbourne Herald - Saturday 22 March 1958, Pages 7, 20:
'Hotted-up' at home car for trophy race
EVENING after evening, week-end after week-end 26-year-old Mr M. A. Knights has worked like a Trojan since September against a deadline—and he has succeeded. His A.C. Bristol racing car will be finished within a fortnight and in time for the British Empire Trophy on April 12 at Oulton Park. Mr Knights, a member of the Eastbourne branch of the British Automobile Racing Club, is completing the work in the garage at the rear of his home at 166 Victoria-drive. The chassis is of standard A.C. design but the frontal appearance has been altered; the original engine has been replaced by the one that was formerly in the Lotus belonging Mr Michael Anthony, the well-known racing driver from Hove, who is a friend of Mr Knights. Mr Anthony will be racing the car as Mr Knights has little track experience, but he will use the car for speed trials and other similar events. The four wheels are independently sprung and there are disc brakes in front with drum brakes at the rear: it is hoped that the top speed will exceed 140 mph. Mr Knights told a reporter. "We hope to cover our expenses by racing and perhaps earn a little more, but we put in all this work mainly to have some fun." He estimated the value of the model to be well over £2.000.
The car raced in the Grand Prix de Spa, Roskilde Ring etc.
Eastbourne Herald - Saturday 07 June 1958, Page 18
Copenhagen glory for home-made car
JUST two weeks after their success In the Grand Prix de Spa in Belgium, the local racing team of Mr Malcolm Knights, Mr Michael Anthony and the home-made AC Bristol car went on to further glory in the Copenhagen Cup race for sports cars at Copenhagen's Roskilde Ring circuit last week-end. Mr Knight's Bristol, again driven by the Hove driver, Mr Anthony, won two out of three heats to take second place in the over all classification. The team was robbed of first place by failing to get away with the rest of the competitors in the Le Mans-type start in the second heat. However, the Bristol had already won the first heat, and victory in the final race ensured the Eastbourne team of second prize. British drivers filled the first three places. Mr Knights was particularly pleased with the performance of the car which he built himself and which has been racing for less than two months. The Copenhagen track proved a real test with its heavily banked comers. "It was not a suitable track for seeing what the car can really do," said Mr Knights after the race. "The Bristol has too long a wheelbase to cope with such tight turns." Mr Knights and Mr Anthony flew back from Denmark on Monday. Their only worry now is whether the car, which is coming by sea later in the week, will be here in time to take part in the Brands Hatch meeting at the weekend.

It is commonly accepted that petrophysics/ formation evaluation is critical for quantitative full field evaluation, yet the perception among some is that its mostly about expensive logging, calculating net-to-gross, porosity and saturation. However, from a business perspective, it's much more than that. Petrophysics is integral throughout the life cycle of the field, and one of the aims of this talk is to show that by engaging your petrophysics teams early, and keeping them engaged through the process, significant business uplift can be achieved. In particular, this talk will highlight a concept known as the "petrophysical value chain" as it relates to exploration, development and production. This talk will also use show some real world examples of how logs, if incorrectly interpreted, can result in lost opportunities, and that sometimes, the interpretation is itself bounded by the complexities of the operations itself, requiring more than just logging to get to an answer that makes (economic) sense. Finally, there will be a discussion on how petrophysicists must avoid the "silo" effect that can come with being practitioners of this discipline.
Munish Kumar is currently a Sr. Petrophysicist with Total Asia Pacific Exploration, based in Singapore. His focus is on operational petrophysics and formation evaluation of assets in Asia, Australia and the Pacific region. Prior to this, he was a Sr. Petrophysicist with ExxonMobil (Exploration, Development and Production) in Australia and Houston, working on fields in Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, W. Africa, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, North West Shelf and Gippsland Basin, Victoria.
He has a PhD in Physics and Engineering (Applied Mathematics) from the Australian National University (2010) and a BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National University of Singapore (2005).
His interests include multiphase flow in reservoir systems, core analysis, computer vision and image analysis, machine learning applications and data analytics as a means to analyze complex petrophysical problems.

From the 19th century, mounted overlanders drove thousands of sheep and cattle to new stations across central and northern Australia. On these vast, isolated properties, flocks and herds roamed semi-wild over the open rangelands, and to manage them, stockworkers, including many Aboriginal men and women, developed distinctive kinds of horses and styles of riding.
Friendly rivalries over who was best at everyday tasks like mustering, horse breaking, and droving developed over time into the sports of campdrafting, rodeo and endurance riding. Influenced by similar competitions in the United States of America, by the mid-20th century these sports had become codified, and today attract thousands of competitors from across Australia.

As much as we love our cars, it is inevitable that they will be damaged at some point and the damage will not only be heavy on the heart but also on the pocket. With increasing frequency of road accidents and vehicle thefts in Pakistan, auto insurance is a no-brainer. But as for any product we buy, it is important to first shop around. Shopping around enables us to understand the current market and provides us the opportunity to select what which suits our requirements the best.
Here are 4 top reasons why comparing auto insurance plans is a good idea:
This is the single biggest advantage of comparing insurance offers. Different insurance companies offer variable rates based on your car model, car value, history of infractions, credit score etc. so you can even save up to 15-20% on your insurance cost. Moreover, insurance rates fluctuate according to the overall risk they are anticipating. For example, too many claims in a year or quarter may force them to raise rates and vice versa. So, a company anticipating low risk might be offering lower interest rates than a high risk one.
Certain discounts and free services such as tracking are provided by insurance companies so comparing plans can help you determine which discounts are offered and how to get the most from your auto-insurance plan.
Since websites such as KarloCompare are not affiliated with any insurance companies, they can offer you a fair and objective comparison based on your requirements. Moreover, the process of comparing plans is simpler com as the need for extensive documentation to get quotes at insurance companies is eliminated. It is also a quicker method than taking individual quotes from companies and cheaper than going through a middle-man. Comparing insurance quotes online also
As the value for your vehicle decreases, insurance costs also decrease. Therefore, if you got your first insurance when the car was new it is a good idea to compare rates since the depreciation leads to significant savings in insurance costs. If you own a luxury car, the insurance cost can drop as much as 20% after a couple of years.
Not all insurance companies treat road infractions the same way. A road accident or traffic violation may lead to a very high premium with one insurance plan but not have too much of an effect with another one. Moreover, most infractions are stricken from record after a certain time. It is important to keep updating you auto insurance once that has been done since it will lead to revision in the insurance cost. Insurance companies also offer lower rates or special discounts for married couples and older individuals.
Most importantly, the cover you require will ultimately determine your premium. For example, if you have a family and want a personal injury to be covered, the premium will be different from an individual who only wants cover for car collision damage. So there is a significant difference in auto insurance Plans.
TIP OF THE DAY: Once you decide on a plan, it is always recommended to review it every year at least if not every 6 months.
In the end, there is no alternative to safe driving!

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments on Kendrie's latest fashion
Anyway, this is all "Phase One", and is basically the prep work to get her ready for the all-out braces she'll wear in a few years when her permanent teeth have all come in. Brayden also went through Phase One and is now waiting on her permanent teeth for braces. Kellen was able to skip Phase One, but the Grand Canyon gap between his front teeth, plus the fact he is genetically mutated and was born without his permanent upper incisor B's, means braces are definitely in his future as well. So pretty much our family is an orthodontist's worst nightmare. Or greatest windfall, depending on your perspective.
But anyway! That's not what made me choke on my own saliva. I was reading the comments from all of you, commiserating and flash-backing to your own orthodontic nightmares (for the record, I had braces to correct the same gap as Kellen, then wore a retainer to correct a cross bite, but never had full-out braces. Hence the reason my bottom teeth are crooked to this day. I like to think it gives me character. Truth is, I hate the dentist so much that NO WAY would I go to the trouble to correct it.)
And suddenly one of the comments was signed, "All my best to Kendrie, thanks for reading my book, Sandy Humphrey."
Holy cow, she's a real-live actual author, signing in here on my site! You can see for yourself that I have one of her books listed in my sidebar under the "currently reading" section. And she signed MY blog?!?!
Now, I don't know this person personally (person personally, does that even make sense??) and I'm sure her publishing house has some kind of automatic search engine that turns up any site with her name on it, which led her here (much like my blog story about my child-hood friend Steve, my lab partner who threw up on frog-dissection day, who is now the Chief Freaking Financial Officer for Sonic Corporation, turned up on *their* search engines … sorry about that, Steve.) But still, how cool that she took the time to actually look at Kendrie's picture and leave a note of encouragement?
So, turn about being fair play, and what have you, I thought I'd give you guys a quick plug for her book(s).
I saw a recommendation for Ms. Humphrey's book "Hot Issues, Cool Choices" in a parenting magazine. The subtitle is "Facing Bullies, Peer Pressure, Popularity, and Put-Downs", which I thought might facilitate some helpful conversations with Brayden, now that she's in middle school. Thank GOODNESS we're not having any of those issues, but you can never be too prepared, right? When I went to Amazon to order the book with the Amazon gift card I won on Dad Gone Mad's site (yippee!) their search engine suggested her other books as well. She has books titled, "It's Up to You … What Do You Do?" and "If You Had To Choose, What Would You Do?" Some are geared to younger kids, some to older. Each book contains 25 stories of moral, ethical, social dilemmas that kids find themselves in, and then questions to promote discussion with your own children.
A few years back we had a book of questions for kids, some funny, some insightful, some thought-provoking, some silly. We took turns asking questions and giving answers every night at dinner and enjoyed ourselves. When I realized these books of Ms. Humphrey's would allow me to expand on that concept, I bought four of her books and received them last week.
We started with the "youngest" "What Would You Do" book and I must say, our family has greatly enjoyed them. The chapters we've read so far at dinner each night discuss real-live, ACTUAL possible scenarios for kids in today's climate. Not "what you would do if you found a million dollars?", but a more realistic possibility, like "what would you do if you saw a $20 bill fall out of a person's pocket?" …. Or, "what would you do if you saw a $20 bill fall out of a person's pocket and your best friend grabbed it and wanted to spend it?" Other topics include school scenarios, bullying, peer pressure, friends, perceptions, etc.
What I like about these books is that the scenarios are presented in a non-biased way. The story is told, and then questions are posed at the end of each story for parents to discuss with their kids. "Right" and "wrong" aren't crammed down anyone's throat, and it really lets parents promote their own values and opinions without being preachy.
So far our family has discussed how to be nice to a new student when your best friend hates them, how to be a good loser, the importance of chores, and is it really stealing if you don't get caught? I tried really, really hard to smoothly turn the chore story into a comparison of why it's important for our kids do actual chores here at our house, but alas, I'm not sure it worked.
Anyway, I highly recommend this author, Sandra McLeod Humphrey, and these books. At twenty-five stories in a book, with the four books I bought, I figure we've got enough material to last until April or May. Maybe by THEN my kids will be more willing to do chores.
Nawwwwww, I didn't think so either.

When it comes to banning videogames or at least restricting their sales, there just is no country quite like Germany! There are several lists to take into consideration, so I'll try to make things simple and clear for you, dear readers. So, which games made the index in October, I hear you ask? Well, the EU-versions of Mortal Kombat and X-Men Origins: Wolverine have been put on the B-list, meaning selling those at all is prohibited. Same goes for the EU-version of Dead Rising: Off the Record, but I'm quite surprised this happened so fast, since normally it takes some months for the institution responsible to notice certain games.
Making the A-list, which means they can't be sold to minors or promoted, are the EU-versions of Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Splatterhouse. You might think that making the A-list is not that big of a deal, but sales-wise you would be quite wrong there, since a lot of shops refuse to carry them at all as they can't put them on display. It's also important to note that this is always about the EU-versions, if there are toned down German versions of these games, then those are not affected. Also, if gamers there are lucky, the B-list titles will be taken off after an appeal like it happened with the first two Doom games...

What with poorly offspring and one thing and another I had a surprisingly late night last night, and so wasn't out of my pit until after 9am this morning. I had a particularly vicious five minutes on "Trap One"; clearly something I'd eaten yesterday hadn't sat right.
Over brekkie my piss boiled. One of the local geocachers had posted on the "Geocaching in Kent" about a proposal from Kent County Council in which the Kent cachng community might work hand in hand with the county council to produce two "Geotours"; two guided tours round East and West Kent taking in sites of local historical interest using existing geocaches as a starting point. It sounds a very worthwhile and laudible idea. I'm completely against it.
I've seen this sort of initiative in other walks of life with other councils. A council (be it parish, town or county) will have an idea for some initiative that will make it look good in the eyes of the electorate, but has no idea how to bring its idea to fruition. So they approach enthusiasts.
Over the years I've seen this happen with kite flying, scouting, the now defunct snake club, beer festivals, and I've heard simular tales from archers, bird fanciers and model railway enthusiasts. Volunteer enthusiasts are promised the Moon on a stick by parish, town and county councils. Because the volunteers have been promised all sorts of benefits for their hobbies and passions these people then end up bending over backwards putting in considerable amounts of their own time and money to provide a service for a council which then never actually delivers quite as much (if anything) of what they once offered to these people.
These sort of ventures sound (at first) as though they are a good idea in theory; in practice the efforts of unpaid volunteers are exploited and the councils take all the credit for what other people have done for them.
(takes a deep breath...)
I took "Furry Face TM" round the block. He's a lot better than he was; as we walked he tried to pick fights with passing taxis and buses and several larger dogs. I wish he wouldn't do that. He did say hello (nicely) to one of the ponies in the field by the Riverside Inn; he seems to have struck up a friendship with that little horse.
Once home my little dog settled down quietly; these short walks still tire him. We then drove round to Bybrook Barn where "er indoors TM" got my my Christmas pressie. After yesterday's soaking I realised I could do with a decent waterproof coat for our weekend walks.
From the garden centre we went for a spot of McLunch. As we were coming out I saw someone who looked familiar. Cheryl had been sent into McDs to get scoff for "My Boy TM". Together we then went to the pet shop, and to a new shop in Folkestone; The Lodge. The Lodge seems to be an up-market version of Canterbury's Cheapo-Bargains shop. I suppose a combination of the place only just having opened and Christmas coming up meant the place was heaving. I shall go back when it's not so busy.
We found a quick geocache, and then went round to see "Daddies Little Angel TM" and the baby. I say " went round to see "Daddies Little Angel TM" and the baby"; within minutes of arriving I was fast asleep. After a couple of hours spent snoring we came home.
Again I should really have been out with the astro club, but a combination of rain (not telescoping weather) and not wanting to get a running nose meant I had an evening in. "er indoors TM" set off bowling and I curled up on the sofa with my dog and watched "Jeeves and Wooster." After all it's what I usually do on Sunday evenings...

This week I feel both like I have got my mojo back and also like I'm coming down with a cold from running around like a mad person being Mum and returning to work (and Lego club and helping my folks etc) but all in all it has been a lovely week.
I love getting snaps of the kids together as it doesn't often happen they both stay still long enough. You can see with Faye's blury hand that she was just about to jump down and Chase after a dog or something! Aiden of course wanted to pull faces…
A shameless selfie to document how my curly girl method is working on my hair. My curls are definitely easier to look after and are getting more defined. Still a long way off the gorgeous photos you see on Instagram of curly girls with insane bounce and volume. I have to keep reminding myself I only started this in January.
My new job is set on some stunning grounds so I took a few photos as I was walking to my office from the main house this week. Obviously I was drawn to the fairy garden and bug hotel as Aiden loved these when he visited with his forest school a few weeks ago.
Timing is everything. Faye was sat playing in this submarine at the park, looking very cute in her pigtails and duffle coat and smiling beautifully. Got out my camera and this is her response. That's my girl! Sums up her personality perfectly so I love it.
We were sent this new coat from Didriksons so took some review shots. Luckily Aiden totally loves the hood so was more than happy to smile and show it off. I love the colour especially as it will then be passed down to Faye and she already often wear a lot of blue so this will be a nice change.
Our local tip has a charity shop attached to it. I might gave mentioned this before as I just think it is the best idea ever! We saw this there this week so simply had to buy it. It came with a whole set if beautiful furniture too and Faye has played with it every day since.
As Faye has a new dolls house she has given her old one to Aiden to turn into a Lego house. He has decided it is a Lego rescue station and we have started building bits to go in each zone such as a vending machine for the police when they want a drink.
I was trying to get a photo of me in the jacket Didriksons sent me to review only that means someone other than me taking the photos so the light isn't great and then if course Faye wanted Mummy. I actually really like this candid shot though as it is me in my natural Mum state just giving up the photo shoot and saying come here then you softy.
We had friends of Aiden's over to play so we decided to bake the treats. Heaven knows what possessed me as I hate baking and cooking normally. Aiden wanted to make a lemon drizzle cake but we settled on lemon drizzle cupcakes. Amazingly they were eatable and I didn't burn them. Woohoo.

Afghanistan, a Country on the Brink
Over the last ten years, the mantra of experts and scholars highlighted the uncertain future of Afghanistan. The situation on the ground shows an ambiguous mix of instability and tentative signs of progress. To this very day, any future scenario bears the mark of uncertainty. The dynamics of the last two years, after the massive international withdrawal due to the end of the NATO-ISAF mission, are bound to recur not just in the next months but also in the next few years.
First of all, over the last two years, the Taliban—still fearsomely active—failed to advance towards their strategic aim of winning back Kabul. Their time seemed to have finally come after ISAF's withdrawal, but the two spring offensives in 2015 and 2016, although bloody, had almost no effect on the region's military balance. Granted, security in Afghanistan has been deteriorating over time, and the double siege of Kunduz and its temporary conquer by the Taliban (as the first provincial capital to fall in their hands) cast a harsh light on the future. However, Taliban are still far from establishing a truly cohesive and unitary parallel government for the country, and they are still unable to subvert the fragile political regime set up by the international community.
Two additional processes, unfavorable to the Taliban, come into play. First, Pakistani support dropped over time, partly because the Taliban's Pakistani branch (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) came to represent a threat to Pakistan's domestic stability, and partly because, as already happened with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar in the Nineties, the less the Taliban appear to grant stability and certainty, the less they are seen as a winning bet. Second, the Islamic State is challenging the Taliban in Khorasan. At the moment, the Islamic State was not that successful and did not establish itself firmly in Afghanistan (or maybe just in the Nangarhar Province and possibly in Kunar). It has too many enemies—al-Qaida, the Taliban, Afghan's security forces, and US troops—and military pressures on Mosul and Syria do not allow the Islamic State to further engage in Afghanistan. Nevertheless, ease of recruiting and the rate of desertion by Taliban fighters that joined the Islamic State suggest a growing disaffection among the militants. A disaffection due both to an appeasing stance, favoring peace negotiations with Kabul, and to limited military achievements.
But time is not on the Taliban's side. For many years, during the international intervention, time has been an asset for their insurgency campaign: their most precious strategic resource was to resist the massive international deployment, the occupying troops, and the US as long as possible, until the foreigners' withdrawal. They came out victorious from this war of attrition, surviving to the world's most powerful armies. Now that the international deployment has reduced markedly, becoming almost imperceptible, for the first time in years the Taliban are bound to win. "Not losing" is not enough anymore. And if they do not start winning quickly they stand to lose the public support they still enjoy today, their recruiting power, and credibility in their promise of regaining control of the whole country. In other words, everything they gained by driving away the foreigners from Afghanistan is about to expire. For the first time ever, time may be on the side of Kabul's government.
However, the governing coalition stands on a fragile agreement between President Ashraf Ghani and his Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah. The government, established under US pressure, is the outcome of a compromise between the two "winners" of the 2014 presidential election. The agreement was necessary to keep the country, and its two opposing factions, together: the Pashtuns and the others. The government has neither failed altogether (despite internal fights for official appointments, frequent deadlocks due to cross vetoes, and the risk that political conflict leads to armed violence), nor made decisive steps towards Afghanistan's pacification and political normalization. It is highly likely that the unstable agreement between Ghani and Abdullah will just be an interlude. It is unlikely that it will act as a step towards a wider political and institutional compromise, able to bring political stability to the country.
Afghanistan's economic situation, however, is more worrying. The military disengagement, which resulted in the withdrawal of 120.000 troops in just a few years, and the declining commitment by international donors in financially supporting Afghanistan, resulted in a worrying economic recession. Since 2012, GDP growth, which in the ten years after the 2001 US intervention averaged 9-10 per cent, dropped drastically to 1.3-1.5 per cent. Massive international deployment, with more than 800 military bases and a significant presence of civilians administering development aid (whose viability and operations were partly linked to ISAF's presence) fostered growth until 2012/13, but won't be able to do so in the future. Despite international efforts, Afghanistan's economy is unable to sustain itself. It is still missing mechanisms and tools to self-propel growth. On the opposite, it is still too dependent on external aid, which is likely to shrink in the near future. It is no surprise that the illegal economy, linked to opium trafficking, has grown. As a reaction to the economic crisis, opium cultivation has become the most profitable alternative for many farmers. In turn, growth in opium trafficking supports the Taliban who, on the one hand, safeguard property rights and, on the other hand, draw massive revenues that finance military campaigns and recruitment.
Political, economic and security dynamics are naturally intertwined. The economic crisis weakens the government, especially considering that President Ghani explicitly tied his electoral campaign and his political rise to a commitment to create jobs and foster economic growth. In turn, the government's political fragility weakens its capacity to fight the Taliban. The outcome of these intertwined dynamics is still highly uncertain. One can only assume that, in the short term, Afghanistan will continue to be a country on edge, whose deep-rooted instability cannot, at least for now, upset the hardly earned achievements of 15 years of international intervention.

jwlarson1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 91 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
Mulberry Lofts
Mulberry Lofts is a boutique nano apartment community built in a converted historic Kansas City garment factory building (originally built in 1908) that will house 26 apartments. The interior will feature original hardwood floors, stairwells, banisters, high tin ceilings, etc. There are 6 floor-plans named after our favorite trees (Willow, Cedar, Redwood, Alder, Cherry, Juniper).
For our logo, we want to draw upon the natural elements of the forest and wild berries without over-doing this aspect. The logo should draw inspiration from these elements while being easy to read (painted on a building as well as on stationary and business cards). It should be stylized yet not overly-ornate. Cool and hip, but not too pre-fab or corporate. We have preserved many of the original signs of wear and tear in the building and it would fine to reflect this distressed element in a font/logo.
The core target market is millennials who will rent apartments from us.

Ready to Roll - newby
March 07, 2018, 03:54:50 AM »
Hi and thanks in advance for allowing me to ask many questions during the next 10 months.
I am a 59 year old woman who will be attempting (for the second time) to thru-hike the Appalachian trail in March of 2019.
I am so ready to live off grid for the 6 months I expect to take to hike from Georgia to Maine - I decided to extend that life OFF trail as well. So my plan is to pay my last month's rent in February 2019. I will hike the trail - and when I get off I'll resume life in my already paid for converted for full time living van.
Although I have a year... I've started my search for the vehicle now.
My biggest problem is not knowing enough about vehicles to know what MAKE vehicle is the best when considering age (I definitely need used), mileage, vehicle maintenance issues, etc.
I'm just happy to have found THIS community and hope to learn a lot here.

Greetings & Welcome!
Sounds like some ambitious goals.
The sweet spot on vans for me has been 1976-1986 Dodge vans with the 318 engine and automatic transmission. I like the pre computerized ones, so much less to go wrong with them. Passenger vans, and conversion vans are much easier to convert, you can simply remove the back seats and move your new interior in and secure it. I paid $700 for mine over 10 years ago, it had 250k miles on it, and I have put another 200k+ trouble free miles on it since.
Mine is a 15 passenger model. Lots of these were used as church and shuttle vans, and can be found in both high and low tops. I chose a low top so I could so parking garages and drive thru's. Some people prefer the high tops so they can stand up inside. I just cook while seated, everything else I'd be seated or in bed anyway. I have a super comfortable swivel reclining chair, so I can work or relax inside all day long in comfort, and everything is within easy reach. My total conversion cost was aboout $200 all in. No expensive baloney, just comfortable and fully functional, including super comfy sofa/bed, full kitchen, toilet & shower, power, heating & cooling. I didn't do it on the cheap because of a small budget, I followed the lead of the most comfortable camper vans that I saw that others had.
If you live in the rust belt, you may have to travel to a more rust free area to find a good deal on older vans. Mine came from Spokane Washington, and is relatively rust free. The owner was honest with me, telling me that it leaked oil, gas, tranny fluid, power steering, and radiator. It was a spare vehicle and had been sitting. Other than that, it ran and drove perfect. For $700 I figured I had plenty of room to fix all the leaks and still be an excellent buy. I had driven 10 hours to look at it, and ultimately buy it. The previous owner told me that as long as I kept the fluids full, it would go forever. Within a couple hundred miles, ever fluid leak stopped on their own. It just needed to be driven. Repair cost $0 and even the original tires were good for the first 40k miles that I owned it.
Previously I got suckered into building out a cargo van. A huge money pit, and a huge mistake. A window van or even a Class B or Class C RV is stealthier than a cargo van in cities at night. I could have bought a very fancy RV cheaper than that stupid cargo van cost to convert, and thenn it was a dark, damp box to live in. For me, windows, the view, and the ventilation, are what make my home on wheels comfortable to live in. A view in all directions, both day and night, keep me both safe and sane. Situational awareness is impossible in a cargo van, and the need to hide is baloney created by living in a cargo van. In the public's view, as well as the cop's view, only scary people live in cargo vans, people who have something to hide. I have lived in many vehicles from motohomes to vans, and I never felt alone, homeless, or as depressed as I did in that cargo van. People judge you by what you're driving first, and old window van, or an old motorhome, get a much better judgement than a cargo van unless they're expecting some repair man. Everybody knows what cargo vans belong in their neighborhood at night. Obvious campers aren't nearly as suspicious as someone trying to hide. As an obvious camper, they will judge you for you and your actions, rather than your vehicle.
In the end, a cheap, older, fully depreciated, and pre-computerized van or motorhome can save you a fortune. A passenger van with a decent interior to start with can save you another fortune. No roof vents, no solar panels, no 12v fridges, junkyard house batteries instead of expensive ones, and not gutting the interior can save you several fortunes without sacrificing any comfort or convenience.
When my current van eventually dies, I will probably replace it with a cheap Class C motorhome of about the same vintage. They can be found in great shape with low miles for under about $2k, have all the goodies, and are still stealthier than a cargo van. By then I'll be retired and likely acquire a travelling companion, so the extra room will be nice and it'll still fit in a standard parking space.
Good Luck & keep us posted!

Thank you so much for that info Dan.
I just drove an hour to look at a Ford Transit - and just decided on the spot that although cute it wasn't going to be right for me. At least not yet.
If I go with the idea of an older class C then I don't have to buy it before next fall - or spend all summer trying to get my new home livable.
I really know I'm going to appreciate this forum very much.

Always glad to help when I can.
Vans really shine if you're parking on city streets over night every night, but if that isn't a necessity, a small RV can make a world of difference in comfort and livability.
Let us know if we can be of any help along the way.
