"I know mine and mine know me." St. John, 11:14.
"The third day he rose again from the dead." Creed.
In World War Two we read with horror of the beastly bombing of cities, the killing and crippling of innocent women and children. With sickening terror we heard of the bombing of London in the never-to-be-forgotten Battle of Britain. Whole blocks of buildings were levelled to the ground. Houses crumbled as if made of match boxes. In many places nothing was left but piles of rubble and debris heaped up beside hellish holes gashed into the earth.
Not long after the smoke and dust cleared away the people noticed flowers growing up the sides of these craters, flowers which they could not recognize or name. Horticulturists or flower experts were called to investigate, but even they could not identify the blossoms.
They searched the records in the Natural History department of the British Museum at South Kensington. They finally found some rare old manuscripts and books which had records pf these species long since died out. There were ninety different kinds. These flowers, or the seeds of these flowers, had been buried for hundreds of years under the streets and buildings of London. The German bombs stirred them up, cultivated them, if you will, and the nitrates in the bombs nourished the strange plants.
In a similar way the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has produced many fruits, fruits which we would not have shared, were it not for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The earth shook at the death of Christ, and the earth shook at the resurrection of Christ. We would like to mention a few of the blessings and benefits of those earthquakes.
The first fruit of His rising from the dead is the praising of God's justice. The Almighty had allowed the enemies of Christ to do their worst. He permitted the powers of evil to go to the very limits of injustice. But with Easter day came the hour for justice, to exalt the humble Christ above His enemies, and to punish those who had put Him to death. As St. Paul wrote to the Philippians, 2:8-9: "He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. For which cause God also hath exalted him."
Another fruit of Easter is the perfecting of our faith. Without the resurrection our faith is without a foundation. Everything Christ had said and done throughout His life demanded a resurrection as a final, conclusive proof that He was God, and that He had worked His wonders as God. In telling the world about Christ the apostles repeatedly, almost constantly, referred to the resurrection. It gave flesh and bone to their faith.
The resurrection also strengthens our hope. It refreshes our hope of spiritual help; it enlivens our hope of a true reward; it stimulates our hope in our own resurrection. What St. Paul wrote to the Romans, he wrote to us: "If we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection." Romans, 6:5. The Prince of the Apostles in his first letter (1:3-4), says the same: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto the inheritance incorruptible."
Man lives on hope and in hope, even in material things. Hope is essential in spiritual life. The bells and Alleluias of Easter give grounds to our hope.
Easter serves another purpose: it gives us a model for Christian life; it suggests that we rise from the grave of sin. St. Paul put it very well when he wrote to the Romans, 6:4, 11: "As Christ is risen from the dead. . . so we also may walk in newness of life. . . dead to sin, but alive to God."
Christ coming forth from the grave also proves the true human nature of the Savior. In a talk months ago we saw that some deny to Christ a real human nature. We also learned that He was true man nevertheless. His death and resurrection clinch that proof. He delayed His rising for three days to make that proof all the more powerful.
His rising was not delayed too long, however, as He wanted it to be the crowning proof of His divinity. Jesus, by His absolute power, could have remained in the grave a year or a thousand years. He could have postponed His resurrection until 2006. But the Christians of the last nineteen plus centuries would have been denied this evidence of His divinity.
In rising the third day Jesus fulfilled several prophecies. For us who follow Him that is welcome fruit, because we count on all His words, we bank on them, we depend on them. So far He has kept every promise He made.
Best of all, His rising makes sure our rising. In the words of St. Paul: "We look for the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ, who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory." Philippians, 3:20, 21.
Indeed, the terror, the upheaval, the bitterness and tears of Holy Week, coming to a climax on Easter morning - all of it was necessary to make these otherwise impossible fruits grow in the garden of God's love for us.
The Good Shepherd laid down His life for us. And the Good Shepherd took up His life for us. Laying it down and taking it up were the sources of much blessing.
May Easter satisfy God's justice! May Easter fire our faith, inspire our hope, and feed our resolve to live a risen life with Christ! Amen.

Soldier Systems Daily is attending a BHI Foreign Weapons Course. Today's post (Day 3) was on heavy weapons. Day 2 was all about the AK and Day 1 was an intro, pistols and subguns. There's some pretty good video over there too, you should check it out.
Nobody ever let's me shoot a DShKM. *sigh*
Here's an excerpt (excerpt and photos courtesy and property of Soldier Systems Daily):
Day 3 of the BHI Foreign Weapons Course was all about Machine Guns...big, dangerous looking, Soviet Machine Guns. Over the course of a career, you might get to handle foreign weapons and maybe even shoot an AK, but rarely if ever do you get the opportunity to not only get into the nitty gritty of how to use and maintain them, but actually fire them as well. It's training like this that promotes adaptability, going beyond simply demonstrating a capability to a student. Blackheart ensures you know how to do it.
Once again, we began the day with lecture paired with hands on application. Using the same methodology as previous days, our instructors gave us history of each weapon followed by a demonstration on how to make it safe, load it and maintain it. Due to the variety of machine guns we completed the lecture portion before starting a round robin with students rotating between the RPK, RPD, PKM and DShKM. In addition to the weapons themselves we also learned about accessories such as the tripods and cleaning kits. Below are examples of amazing cleaning kits provided to Russian troops with these weapons. Not shown is the DShK kit which includes a hammer!
If you've got the time and you have any interest in the "Soviet Era" weapons so common pretty much everywhere we deploy, go read these BHI class updates on Soldier Systems.

text: Share: Comments Print August 12, 2013 at 7:09 AM Upcoming quality-of-life care legislation Posted by Letters Coordinator Support ongoing care for cancer survivors Congressman Jim McDermott says he views the U.S. health care system from the perspective of the physician and his patient, rather than from that of the health industry. [Courtesy of the Office of Jim McDermott.] With the arrival of new medical technologies, a cancer diagnosis is not the inevitable kiss of death it once was. As a cancer survivor, I have learned there is a whole new life to be had following years of treatments and hospitalizations. One's health can improve, however compromised. Medical care has been evolving from treating symptoms on to managing patients' lives beyond their illnesses. Just because someone is surviving illness, it does not mean they have attained a good quality of life. Less tangible symptoms of illness remain. Symptoms of pain, depression, new dietary restrictions, maintenance medicines and so on can severely inhibit one's quality of life and ability to live outside of their illness. I hope our congressman, Jim McDermott, will co-sponsor two palliative care bills (for ongoing quality-of-life care) before Congress. There is the Patient Centered Quality Care for Life Act (HR1666), which addresses the care of those with chronic illnesses. Secondly, there is the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (S641 & HR1339), which seeks to increase specialized training and education in medical programs.

PECC Model: for Playing, Engagement, Creativity and Creating
Taking cues from the findings from the NOLB evaluations, a new course model — the PECC model — has been developed using four key fields which have been considered as important for such activities, and further intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. The model considers aspects of Playing, Engagement, Creativity, and Creation for an inclusive coding learning environment. These fields are abstracted into an integrated model that provides teachers or facilitators with important elements.

BOYLE HEIGHTS — The 150-foot-wide steel arches of the Sixth Street Bridge were perhaps the most eye-catching and photographed part of the structure. This past week, the work of removing the four arches began as part of the demolition of the historic span that crosses over the Los Angeles River.
Photographer Kevin Break was on hand as crews began cutting the metal arches away from the concrete sections of the bridge, setting off a cascade of sparks into the river bed below. Then, giant cranes lowered the arches, parts of which were covered with tagging and graffiti, to the ground. Two of the four arches had been removed as of Saturday.
One of those arches will be salvaged and placed in a park underneath a new bridge that will replace the old structure, officially known as the Sixth Street Viaduct.
The old bridge, which engineers say is vulnerable to failing in a major earthquake, is being replaced with a new structure with 23, giant, Y-shaped columns. The new bridge is not expected to be completed until the end of 2019.
Residents can stay updated, and even watch the occasional live video of the demo work, at SixthStreetViaduct.org

Trying again at Nemcova's experience in Thailand, what can you risk do on this case? Now, let's focus on about Travel Agent from Gross [email protected] and just how it may provide help to. The whole value for the great coffee from coffee travel mugs could be $20.00 (the acquisition of a very good thermal mug) + $zero.20 (the price of beans) X 2 serve per day X 12 months = $166.00. With all these benefits you'd surely need to purchase expat travel insurance if you find yourself traveling abroad for work.
Nonetheless quite unknown to many travelers, who prefer the sunny beaches of Thailand's southern islands, Chiang Mai has so much to supply and it seems to draw people who prefer to avoid the high finish tourism of Southern Thailand, together with many solo travelers on their private journey of discovery.

Summer grilling is a must during Maine's brief hot and humid season. The warm weather and summer treats don't seem to last long enough here, which is why grilling is such a fun way to cook while the weather permits. What's grilling without a tasty side of potato salad? I'm a huge fan of buying local Maine potatoes and whipping together my homemade grilled Maine potato salad recipe. All you need are potatoes, my Sherry Honey Vinaigrette dressing, and some fresh chives and parsley to enjoy this summer dish.
Will serve up to 4 people.
*Nancy's Sherry Honey Vinaigrette
Will keep refrigerated for 4 to 6 weeks and is great on regular salads as well.

What Are the Cheapest Cars to Insure For Teenagers – Best Tips and List of Cars Short Term Car Insurance Quote ?
If you're thinking about buying a new or used car for your teen or teenager no matter if they are 16 years old or 19 years old, there are a few cars that you can usually insure cheaper than others. So what are the cheapest cars to insure for teenagers or student drivers?
Generally, cars that are more expensive will cost you more for car insurance and lesser expensive cars will cost less. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. Even if a car is older and is a less expensive car, it should cost you less to insure it. Cars made in the U.S. are cheaper to insure than cars manufactured in other countries. 4-door cars, cars with 4 cylinder motors and minivans are cheaper to insure also.
Of course, the most popular car among teenagers is the Honda Civic. It ranks high in the safety ratings and insuring it is usually low. It's a good car because it's also economical and easy to operate. However, the Honda Civic, the Ford Focus, and the Saturn models below are still relatively light and not good from a safety standpoint. Other popular cars include the Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Mitsubishi Lancer.
Keep in mind when you go over this partial list of cars, minivans and SUV's that are cheapest to insure, that local rates, discounts and quotes may vary depending on what part of the U.S. you live in whether it's Texas, New York, Florida or any other state. Make sure to get several quotes before making your final decision. You may find a rate that seems to be cheap but keep checking until you're sure you have the cheapest auto insurance quote. You can get several online quotes from several car insurance companies all at once in just a couple of minutes.

Short Term Car Insurance Quote in South Africa
A claim supplement is a claim for additional repair or replacement costs. Supplements are commonplace in the claims process. However, if you are a policyholder unaware of your policy rights, you could be walking away from hundreds or thousands of dollars that you are entitled to collect.
Claim supplements usually occur after a policyholder submits a claim, gets paid and gets the repairs or replacements completed. Then, additional damage is discovered some time later.
Many people erroneously think that, once the claim is closed, it cannot be re-opened. And, insurance companies and their adjusters usually don't rush to tell you how to submit a claim supplement. So, what to do? Let's look at car insurance claims and property insurance claims.
For any kind of supplemental claim, you must contact your insurance company and give them your original claim number. The best way to notify the company is in writing, sent Certified Mail. That way, you'll know who signed for the letter. The insurer will have to re-open the claim. You might get the same adjuster as before, but maybe not.
Be sure that you are collecting all the money you are entitled to collect. Use supplemental claims whenever your claim requires it.
If you have experienced a property loss, whether fire, wind, flood or other, you need to know winning insurance claim strategies. The insurance company will not tell you the claims process, but I will. I will show you how to take control of your insurance claim, and add hundreds or even thousands more dollars to your claim settlement. For more information, go to the website listed below.
Claim Negotiation - Beat the Insurance Company
Car insurance can be so expensive. There are ways in which you can save money on this expense though. One way is by rewriting your policy. When you do, here are some things that you should keep in mind.
Raise Your Deductible
Your deductible is the amount of money that you pay out of your pocket before your insurance company begins paying off on a claim that you have filed. The main way in which you can save money on your car insurance is by raising your deductible. This will actually lower your car insurance premium (the amount of money that you pay for your car insurance policy) by as much as 40%.
In Conclusion
Make sure that you ask what all your options are when you talk with your insurance agent. Many of them may not tell you all of your options unless you ask. Make an appointment and take some time to learn about the insurance you are paying for, what it covers, etc.

Plant Life - Taiga. Taiga Plant Species and Adaptations. Earth Floor: Biomes. Taiga: Plants Because the climate of the taiga is very cold, there is not a large variety of plant life.
The most common type of tree found in the taiga is the conifer--trees that have cones. Four kinds of conifers are common in the taiga. Three of the common conifers are evergreens; spruce, fir, and pine. The fourth common conifer is the tamarack, or larch, a deciduous tree. Under certain conditions, broadleaf trees, such as birch and aspen, are able to survive the harsh climate of the taiga. The Taiga Biome. Taiga Plants. Taiga biome plant life. Taiga - National Geographic Society. The taiga is a forest of the cold, subarctic region.
The subarctic is an area of the Northern Hemisphere that lies just south of the Arctic Circle. The taiga lies between the tundra to the north and temperate forests to the south. Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Siberia have taigas. Taiga biome. Google Image Result for. Taiga Climate. High and Low Temperatures. Climate. Taiga in the Winter. Taiga weather patterns and climate.

One of the most spectacular wildlife displays in the Taiga Shield is the explosive return of ducks, loons, geese, and swans during the spring migration.
The area's abundant water attracts hundreds of thousands of birds, which come to nest or simply feed and rest before journeying farther north to arctic breeding grounds. As an ecological crossroads between two very different ecosystems -- the boreal and the arctic -- the ecozone offers a relatively wide variety of habitats for birds. Lakes, wetlands, and forests are interwoven with open shrublands and sedge meadows more typical of the tundra. The consequent overlap of arctic and boreal bird species gives this area a special richness. Untitled. Earth Floor: Biomes. Taiga: Animals The cold climate of the taiga prevents many animals from living there year-round.
Some of the large animals found in the taiga include moose, deer, and bears. Examples of smaller animals that live in the taiga are bobcats, squirrels, chipmunks, ermine, and moles.

Mammals living in the taiga include foxes, lynxes, bears, minks, squirrels, while larger ones include grey wolves and their preys: caribou, reindeers and moose.
In winter, wolves hunt these herbivores in packs, often dividing themselves into two groups to encircle their preys before attacking them. Sometimes, either group upsets the herd of preys, and the other one creeps up on them. Nevertheless, only the young, wounded or older specimens are taken, while adults are spared. During the harsh winter, the majority of these mammals live within the forest, sheltered by the vegetation.

MAA Recognition
This process is used to evaluate other military regulators and assess the potential to use their airworthiness artefacts in Military Aviation Authority processes.
Recognition is the process used to provide a structured evidence base to support a judgement on the extent to which another military regulator's technical airworthiness activities or artefacts would be acceptable to the MAA as evidence in the MAA Certification or Organisational Approvals processes. Recognition, however, does not mean that the work of another military regulator can be taken at face value, their work must still be understood and assessed by the relevant DE&S Project Team, in consultation with the MAA, with any residual risks identified and sentenced.
Further details
The process for gaining recognition between the military regulators of the European Defence Agency (EDA) nations revolves around the completion and analysis of the Military Authorities' Recognition Questionset (MARQ) which are contained in the European Military Airworthiness Document Recognition (EMAD R).
Completion of the MARQ, which themselves are based on the safety goals from ICAO Doc 9760 (Airworthiness Manual), enable assessment of the scope of another military regulator's responsibilities (including regulations) in the following areas:
- general functions of an airworthiness authority
- airworthiness inspection regulations
- production oversight regulations
- aircraft certification regulations
The EMAD R process can also be used by non-EDA military regulators and, in addition, an Air and Space Interoperability Council (ASIC) Air-Standard for recognition, based on the EMAD R, is also being developed for use between AUS / CAN / UK / US / NZ.
Military regulators can decide to conduct Recognition on a one-way or a two-way (mutual) basis, depending on the business need of the nations involved.
The EDA EMAD R document that contains the process the MAA use for recognition can be found here.

Don't let it get you down.
At least, that seems to be Leslie Moonves's strategy. The Chairman and CEO of CBS Corp. (CBS) - Get Report didn't comment on the allegations against him that were raised by the New Yorker's Ronan Farrow in an exposé published last week.
Earlier Thursday, the LA Times reported that the CBS board knew about a sexual assault investigation being conducted by the L.A. Police Department.
Prior to the start of the earnings call, it was announced that Moonves wouldn't comment on the allegations and that CBS would not be taking any questions about the allegations.
Shares of CBS were down over 1.3% in after-hours trading on Thursday as the entertainment giant missed analysts earnings estimates, but beat slightly on revenue.

A well more than 25 feet deep is considered to be a deep water well. To pump water from a deep water well, a powerful deep water well pump which has the capacity to lift water from depth is required. The deep water well pumps include submersible pumps which are used for pumping water for domestic and industrial use from deep wells.
While installing a deep water well pump, one should be clear about the local laws governing installation of deep water well pumps. Besides, the pump should be of good quality, safe, and effective for the purpose for which it is installed. It should be affordable and easy for maintenance work.
Deep water well pumps come in all models and capacities. You can find online the right one for your requirement. You can go through customer reviews regarding quality and price before choosing the pump. These deep well pumps are widely used to pump drinking water from deep wells. These pumps are submerged into the well and lift the water by means of a jet stream which creates sufficient suction to bring the water to the surface. Deep well pumps vary in capacity from about a hundred gallons per hour up to a thousand gallons per hour
There are many renowned companies who deal with popular brands of deep well pumps for sale. When you buy a deep well pump, ensure that it is of the right capacity with the output as per your requirement. The pump chosen should have a durable motor which can perform with minimum noise, and is corrosion proof. Replacing deep well pump systems is a relatively simple task if you understand the basics such as the positioning of pump, operation, and installation of pumps in a well casing. It is always advisable to involve a qualified plumber while installing deep well pump systems to ensure trouble-free performance.
Deep well submersible pump prices are determined by their technical features. The features include the capacity of motor, electricity consumption, water output, quality of materials used and noise level. Deep well submersible pump prices may fluctuate based on demand. Deep well submersible pumps are submerged, within the well shaft and sit at or near the bottom of the well and push the water to the surface efficiently using the existing pressure.
Unlike jet pumps, the deep well submersible pumps are self-primed which helps to save time in operating the pumps. Different models of deep well pumps are available in the market but it is necessary to identify the right one based on depth of the water table and output of water required.

Mat Belcher/Will Ryan and Lara Vadlau/Jola Ogar Secure 2014 470 World Championship Gold20 Sep 2014
The air was thick with expectation as the 470 Men and Women teams prepared in the boat park under the eyes of hordes of spectators gathered and watching from the elevated Duna grandstand.
A unique sight to witness as the 470 Medal Races took prime time today here in Santander as they got underway in a light 7-8 knot breeze.
Going into the double-points medal race, Championship leaders Lara Vadlau/Jola Ogar (AUT) had to finish ahead of the 2012 Olympic gold medallists Jo Aleh/Polly Powrie (NZL) to secure the gold medal.With a text book perfect start, the Austrians claimed a clear lane, to put the lead in their hands and just over eighteen minutes later they crossed the finish line to become 2014 470 Women World Champions.
At the first upwind mark, it was Japan's Ai Kondo Yoshida/Miho Yoshioka who were closest behind, rounding with just 4 seconds gap to the Austrians, but Vadlau/Ogar's eyes were only on the Kiwis.
Downwind, the Austrians continued to extend their lead over the fleet, with only the British pair of Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark punching through the pack to move up to second place and put in a challenge. Despite pushing hard, there was no change in positions and the two teams crossed the finish line with just 5 seconds between them, and holding almost a minute margin over the next team, Slovenia's Tina Mrak/Veronika Macarol.
So World Championship gold in the bag, to add to the 470 European title they won in July this year. Just two years ago at the 2012 Olympics, Vadlau finished in last place, with Aleh/Powrie winning Olympic gold and Mills/Clark sealing silver. Since, the Vadlau/Ogar partnership has delivered a meteoric climb upwards and today proved once again they have the courage, passion and a burning desire to be the best they can be.
"In the first upwind when we were close to the right layline and we saw this huge gust on the right side and I saw the Kiwis were left side and I said to Lara this is good because we have wind and they don't," said Ogar as she relived the race. "But we didn't get too excited and only when we rounded the downwind mark did we realise we could have it. But we still stayed focused and remembered the times when we have been leading a race and then lost first place because we were too relaxed,"
"We never win medal races," laughed Ogar. "Yes we won in Miami, but it was not such a strong fleet."
"For this medal race I told Jola I will sail the wind and check the wind and you will keep your eyes on all the other boats," said Vadlau. "Yes, this is always our plan," added Ogar. "It works and if something is working, you shouldn't change it!"
"It is amazing, we are World Champions," grinned Vadlau. "You know I told Jola before the race that we must win it because I want to have a gold 470 on my mainsail," she added referring to the right they have now earned themselves as World Champions.
"It is unbelievable. You know we had a training session together two years ago in Palma, and I knew from that moment on that Jola had to be in my boat," said Vadlau. Celebrations may be put on hold as they will be driving back to Austria early tomorrow morning.
"I want to rest when we get back," said Ogar as there has been so much pressure on us. "We will only have about a week at home, and then we go to Rio for all of October." The pair will then head to the ISAF Sailing World Cup Grand final in Abu Dhabi, before returning to Rio.
For Aleh/Powrie it was effectively game over for gold within the first six minutes of the race, as they rounded the first mark in 7th and knew there was no hope of catching the Austrians. The 2013 World Champions' race was now all about ensuring they didn't let any more boats get between them and the British, to ensure they could keep hold of silver.
"From there, winning was out of the question. We just had to make sure we were close enough to the prints to make sure they couldn't get us," commented Aleh. "We just had to keep our composure on the next beat and take a few boats which we did, so that was some consolation."
"It was a pretty tough race and the Austrians just did it really well. Good on them as they sailed a really good Worlds.
"We are getting there, but there is a lot to work on. I guess that's what good about these regattas, when it doesn't all go well we find more things to fix for next time. The Austrians are getting better and we all need to keep going. There is a lot we can do better," Aleh concluded. A couple of weeks break at home, and Team Jolly will then be back in Rio in December 2014 for training.
The 2012 Olympic Silver medallist Hannah Mills/Saskia Clark sailed a perfect race, but were always too far behind on points to have a real shout at silver or gold. For them, securing the bronze medal was a pleasant surprise, as the pair still don't feel in prime performance mode, after both having injury set-backs earlier in the year.
"This is the ISAF Worlds, it is only once every 4 years, so it is a big deal and to come here and perform we are really happy," said Mills. "We put up a good fight all the way to the end with the Austrians, to try and clinch silver, but we just couldn't quite get passed them. But as it turned out, it didn't make a difference, because the Kiwi girls had managed to pull up enough to hold onto their silver. It was an exciting race all the way to the end."

The gold medal was effectively a done deal going into today double-points medal race for defending World Champions Mat Belcher/Will Ryan from Australia. In theory Croatia's Sime Fantela/Igor Marenic could get their hands on claim gold, but in practice the chances of that happening were remote as the Croatians would need to win the medal race and the Aussies finish last.
In front of a home team, the reigning 470 Junior World Champions Jordi Xammar/Joan Herp led to the first windward mark, and controlled the race from start to finish. Whilst the Spaniards had no chance of a podium spot, they knew a win would put them up the leaderboard, but even more special was to win a medal race in front of a home crowd, including the eyes of the Spanish President.
Onto the second upwind leg and the Spanish and Australians split, each choosing a separate side of the gate. Advantage to the Spanish, but not such a good choice for the Australians who dropped back to fifth overall, but this was no worry for the Australians. Belcher/Ryan clawed one boat back to finish the medal race in 4th place and successfully secure their second World Championship title together, but Mat's fifth successive World Championship title.
Celebrating his 32nd Birthday today, Belcher gave himself one of his most memorable presents by becoming the only sailor in 470 history to win five successive World Championship titles.
"It is really cool. Amazing. Now I can really celebrate. It is a shame my wife and son can't be here, but I will see them tomorrow. It is so cool and I didn't think we would be in this position. It says a bit about our personality too, that we went through that winning streak of two years and to keep focused on what we are doing. It doesn't really bother us or distract us. We are really just enjoying what we are doing and racing our competitors and having fun and that is the main thing to keep winning and keep performing," said Belcher.
"It has been so up and down here. We are really happy with how we have performed and it is nice to come away on top."
Marking where this win sits on their road to Rio, Mat continued, "It is important in the sense that for us and our partnership to know that in a pressured situation that we can perform when we need to. We are just really happy on ourselves and how we have performed and that is really the only thing that you can control. So I guess coming into Rio we are ticking all the right boxes and we are happy with how we are developing. I guess what I am really proud about is that this week as a team we really stepped up a level. I am looking forward to having a break and then getting back in the boat and keep working on ourselves and trying to get as good as we can."
"It is two years since we teamed up and to now focus on one goal is what Victor [coach] wants, and it is what I want so we are working really hard to make that a reality," said Belcher referring to no longer being involved in an America's Cup campaign. Responding to what his celebratory plans would include, Belcher said, "What we will do is have a few drinks tonight with our teammates. We have a great team in the Australian Sailing team led by Peter Conde and we will celebrate with them."
Croatia's Sime Fantela/Igor Marenic went into the medal race in silver medal position, but as they found themselves back in 8th place at the windward mark things were not looking so good and they had lost the silver medal to the Greek team of Panagiotis Mantis/Pavlos Kagialis who were in 5th. The Croatians resolutely fought back, chipping their way up through the fleet to finish in 6th place, with the Greeks in 5th, and seal silver by a 3 point margin, with bronze to Greece. The silver medal was the one colour missing from Fantela/Marenic's haul of medals, so now they count, one 470 World Championship gold, one silver and three bronze medals.
"It was very close, but it ended up very well for us with our fifth medal in a row and the only medal that we missed in our collection. Gold, three bronzes and finally one silver. We are very happy," said Fantela. "Today's medal race was quite tough as Mat and Will were keeping an eye on us more than expected, because there was theoretically an opportunity that we might beat them. During the race he tacked on us more than a few times. This was hard for us as we had to control the Greeks, so it was very tough until the finish.
"Mat managed to do it well. I saw during the race he gave us some space as he saw that we could not win the race and he would not be last and we thank them for that," concluded Fantela referring to the strategy Belcher/Ryan had no take in order to keep an eye on the Croatians to ensure gold, but also mindful not to impact the leaderboard behind.
Mantis/Kagialis also sailed an incredibly strong series with all top-10 finishes apart from one 15th place in race 6.
"Our plan was to stay close to the British to ensure we could secure the bronze medal," said Mantis. "We had the option to get silver, we were close but I think everyone got what they deserved and we are all happy."
Continued Kagialis, "Our first goal here was to get Greece's qualification for the Olympics. Our second goal was to get a medal, so we are very happy and very proud about this. It is the second time to get a bronze medal, it is good for us. It was amazing to have so many people watching the sailing."
Heading towards the finish, at the front of the pack the Spanish had to stay calm with the British and Americans hunting. But their lead was more than enough to win the race, with Luke Patience/Elliot Wilis (GBR) finishing in 2nd place and Stuart Mcnay/David Hughes (USA) in third. As this year's 470 Junior World and Junior European Champions crossed the finish, the crowd on the Duna simply went wild, and Jordi held his head in disbelief at their achievement. Xammar/Herp couldn't quite take in the applause as they sailed in front of the Duna grandstand, before coming ashore by rib and in true superstar style worked their way through the spectators to massive applause.

Bowley leads Cinema Media team
Carlton UK Sales is to take over the sales side of Cinema Media following its 58.5m acquisition by parent Carlton Communications.
Carlton has also named Adam Poulter, marketing director of transport advertising company TDI, as Cinema Media's new chief executive.
Cinema Media, which is to be rebranded as a Carlton company, will remain in its own London Soho offices, but its sales team, led by sales director Katrina Hill, will report to Martin Bowley, managing director of Carlton UK Sales.
"We can offer deals that stretch across ITV, cable and cinema when it is suitable," says Bowley. "Agencies and advertisers are hungry for new spins to put on deals. So we will be coming up with creative selling ideas – and that doesn't mean conditional selling ideas."
Carlton UK Sales already handles the ad sales for Carlton Television, Central Television and cable stations, including the Carlton-owned Carlton Select.
A Carlton spokesman claims there are no plans for redundancies at Cinema Media, "although there may be one or two changes".
Cinema Media's current chief executive Keith Shepherd and finance director Chris Hicks, who led a management buy-in of the company (formerly known as Rank Screen Advertising) with Schroder Ventures in 1992, are to leave the company.
As well as synergies with its sales operation, Carlton Communications is looking to combine Cinema Media's operations with Technicolour, its film processing company.
The move follows reports last week that the Independent Television Commission will not allow Carlton Sales' share of ITV sales to grow above 25 per cent of commercial TV, even if Carlton Communications buys up other ITV companies under the new Broadcasting Act.

Christmas time, for me, is always a time to reflect. It's my favourite time of the year and always reminds me how fortunate, and lucky I am. To celebrate this, I've decided to share with you 10 things, although there are hundreds, that I'm grateful for.
- My friends and family. I don't have loads of friends, but I have the best, close-knit pals who are there whatever. As for my family, they're the biggest load of loonies but I wouldn't swap them for anyone else.
- My boyfriend. 3 years in and I still fall more in love every day. He's my rock and my number one supporter.
- Exercise. Mostly in the form of Netball. It keeps me fit and healthy, helps me socialise, and always manages to clear a foggy mind.
- My blog. It's given me so many things – confidence, opportunities, new skills. The best decision I ever made was signing up 5 years ago.
- My education. I've always loved education. It's ridiculous that there are people in the world that don't get an education as a basic human right, and I think it's important we don't forget that.
- Good eyeliner days. Very rare, but I'm grateful nonetheless.
- ASOS next day delivery. Saving me. Every time.
- My health. Luckily visits to the doctor are very rare for me.
- My morning cup of tea. It pulls me through the day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
- Weekends. No worries and no responsibilities, most importantly, no alarms.
What are you grateful for?

>There are so many elements to SV's email below that I am going to embed my responses as an aid to clarity. Her confusion is not unique, so my explanation may help a lot of you.
Hi June,
I'm a full-time reporter and just started freelancing this year.
I received a 1099-MISC and am confused about whether I should enter that in a Schedule C or just along with my total income? This tells me that SV is preparing her own return and I don't give specific tax preparation instruction. So I am going to rephrase her question. Think of it this way: I am freelancing. I received a 1099-MISC that stated the amount of my freelancing income. Is that income the same as my wages as a reporter and if it is may I combine it with my wages income? Or is it self-employed income to be treated as self-employed income on my tax return? Well, asked this way, it's a little more clear that the income is self-employed income not wages and must be treated as such on SV's tax return.
It seems that's for a sole proprietorship, not a proprietor. Self-employed income makes you a sole proprietor — fait accompli.
but according to you a 1099-MISC is for an employee. I never said that. Check your sources.
By the way, a reporter always thrice checks sources. I know because my husband was a reporter for a long, long time. And, as reporters know: Don't let what you want to be the outcome of the story influence how you investigate your story. You may think the guy's a crook but you must investigate to see all sides of the situation. You don't want to pay more in taxes but you must look at the possibility that you may and not interpret to fit your desired outcome.
I was originally working with Turbo Tax You are doing exactly what Timothy Geithner our treasury Secretary did. He didn't know his self-employed income was self-employed income and so he answered the TurboTax question incorrectly. Read these posts Turbo Tax and Tax Prep Programs.
but got a queasy feeling that something was just not quite right about the fact that one way I was asked to pay several hundred dollars, and the other way I was given a refund of a few hundred dollars. On your wages as a reporter you have already paid social security and Medicare tax. You have not paid those taxes on your freelance income. Combined — called self-employment tax — they are approximately 15% of your net self-employed income. That's why you owe taxes.
I don't want to get in trouble but I can't afford an expensive tax preparer, especially if I will be paying several hundred dollars in taxes (and yes, I put enough aside but I feel as though if I were more savvy I would probably would not be paying as much…) I believe I should have deductions for clothing, makeup, car use and home office, but I'm not sure where to put that. It seems most tax preparers are not well-versed in helping people in my situation. You need to educate yourself. As a reporter you wouldn't write a story knowing nothing about the subject. You know nothing about the business side of being self-employed and so you should not expect to be able to write about it — doing your own tax return. Start by reading more of my blog posts. For instance, you'll see in the explanation of expenses that you cannot deduct makeup unless it were purchased for a business special event only. For a basic understanding of self-employed taxes and recordkeeping check out my book Self-employed TAX Solutions . In it there's Rick Reporter. Rick has both wages as a reporter and freelance income, just as you do.
Do you know of a good "indie" accountant in the DC/Maryland area? No one. These posts might help tax pros – tax prep fees – tax returns.
Thanks so much!

Enduring lessons from changing markets: Vanguard's 2018 Index Chart
Vanguard | 07 August 2018
Vanguard released its 17th annual index chart today, providing an important reminder to investors that while markets fluctuate from year to year, patience pays off when it comes to investing.
Against a backdrop of economic, social and political events which influence volatility and shape markets on a daily basis, the chart tracks the growth of $10,000 invested in major asset classes over the course of 30 years.
It shows that since 1988, an investment in the broad Australian share market would have yielded 9.1 per cent and grown to $136,435, while an investment in Australian bonds would have returned 8.0 per cent, growing the $10,000 initial investment to $99,412.
Robin Bowerman, Vanguard's Head of Corporate Affairs commented "One of the key lessons of this chart is that taking a long-term perspective and investing in a range of broad market indices gives investors a great chance of investing success.
"While it is tempting to focus on the top performing asset class it does not provide much more than an interesting fact about a moment in time as, each year that we review these numbers, the ranking of each asset class varies.
"The bumpy ride depicted in individual asset classes provides investors with an overview of how market cycles play out over time and how hard it is to pick next year's winner.
|$10,000 invested in 1988*
|Accumulated investment value at 30 June 2018
|Percentage returns per annum
|Australian shares
|International shares
|US shares
|Australian bonds
|Listed property
*Growth of $10,000 with no acquisition costs or taxes and all income reinvested.
"Staying the course over the long term requires considerable personal discipline and this is where the value of broad diversification comes into play" Mr Bowerman said.
"We believe that a successful investment strategy starts with an asset allocation suitable for its objective.
"In practice, diversification is a rigorously tested application of common sense–and you can see from the index chart that markets will often behave differently from each other–sometimes marginally, sometimes greatly–at any given time.
"When you compare the growth in individual asset classes to a long term investment in a balanced diversified fund (50/50 growth/income split) over a 20 year period, investors can expect a smoother ride thanks to a much more diversified portfolio, while maintaining a good return on investment in the portfolio.
"In the end, owning a portfolio with at least some exposure to many or all major asset classes ensures the investor of some participation in stronger performing assets while mitigating the impact of weaker assets." Mr Bowerman concluded.
Over the past 17 years Vanguard's Index Chart has established a reputation as a valuable educational tool utilised by thousands of advisers and investors across the country.

PLAYR will become the official GPS player tracking technology partner of the annual Nexen Manchester City Cup – the elite youth tournament operated by Surf Cup Sports and NYCFC's sister club and 2018 Premier League Champions, Manchester City FC – as well as GOALS soccer centers in the United States.

Based on over 10 years experience in the elite market with Catapult Sports, PLAYR now gives aspiring players exclusive stats, insights and advice that have previously only been available to professional coaches in order to improve their performances on and off the pitch.

Get my new eBook, "30 Stocks for the Cloud Revolution", by visiting CloudRevolutionStocks.com or by subscribing to TradingWithCody.com, where you get access to all my investment books for free.
Microsoft is to buy Skype for $8.5 billion. Let's analyze the price Microsoft paid for Skype, the reason why Microsoft bought Skype and how we should trade our Microsoft now.
First off, let's talk price. $8.5 billion is a lot of money and as a Softee shareholder, I do wish they'd only paid the $7 billion plus as was originally reported by the WSJ last night. But $8.5 billion, including debt, appears to be the price that Softee's paying for this wildly successful Voice-Over-IP company that has 100 million more registered users in its network than even the vaunted Facebook. So, $8.5 billion dollars is:
- About 10x Skype's sales
- About 35x Skype's EBITDA
- Less than 20% of Microsoft's current cash balance
- Equal to about four quarters of cash flow at Microsoft
- Three times more than the loss of market cap valuation that Microsoft has suffered today as the market takes the stock down 1.5% or so
- About 1/10th as much as Facebook, which as I noted above, has 20% fewer members in its network than Skype does in its VoIP network
Let's put it this way, this isn't an insane dot-com kind of valuation that Microsoft has just paid. At 10x sales for a company that's got the critical mass and network effects, the distribution and the lock-in and outright growth potential that Skype has, I don't think Softee has overpaid at all. Let's call it a fair to good price.
By the way, you can sign up for TradingWithCody.com to find out how I trade it along the way to my trillion dollar price target (more on that below) as I to try to maximize our portfolio profits with smart common and option trading, analysis, tactics and strategies.
And the fundamental reasons that Softee bought Skype are hinted at above -- namely, Softee is buying Skype:
- Critical mass (meaning that because the company has so many members and because you have to be a member to talk to other people on Skype for free, that the network keeps getting more valuable as more people come onto it, adding to its critical mass, etc). Microsoft will quickly work to integrate their other product offerings, especially the still-holding-its-own-vs.Google, Bing search engine into Skype helping it drive towards a bigger critical mass for itself too. And more importantly, Skype will be fully integrated into the next gen of Microsoft Windows handsets, though Softee will have to make concessions to carrier concerns about people bypassing the cellular network charges and just using Skype on the data network. That'll all get worked out between Microsoft and the carriers though.
- Distribution. Microsoft is already distributed the world over. But now its voice software is going across the iPhone, the Android and the Windows platforms. That's big for Softee. And let's face it, Skype's known well by somebody in every coffee house in every country on the planet.
- Lock-in (once you start using Skype, and get it on all your gadgets and PCs and your contacts are in there, and you get used to it, ie, "locked in"). Microsoft, with its dominance in so many of its billion dollar industries, knows all about locking customers in to your platform/network.
As for trading Softee now, well I'm a buyer of Softee because over the next few years I expect that its traditional PC software businesses will remain hugely profitable if low growth, while its Xbox network and living room platforms continue to grow and Kinect platforms becomes a new de facto standard, and that the combination with Nokia gives its Windows mobile platform a chance that it didn't before the deal. At less than 7x next year's earnings estimates when you include cash and less than 10x when you just look at the P/E, I think it's safe to say that any meaningful upside in any of the above is not discounted in the current MSFT price.
As I told my subscribers on TradingWithCody.com in real-time as I was doing it, instead of Microsoft common stock, today I bought some Microsoft call options, mostly with the $25 strike price, that will expire in January 2013. It always shocks me how cheap the premium for call options in Softee can be at times, especially when the stock flatlines for a few months as it has been of late. I fully expect that Microsoft will head into the $30s in coming months and that we'll see Microsoft trade into the $50 in the next three years.
And yes, I do believe that Microsoft could generate a full $5 per share in earnings in five years or so from now and that with its cash balance at that point, along with the growth it will have shown to get there, that we could see this stock with a 20 P/E multiple on that $5 in earnings. And that, seriously, would make Microsoft a trillion dollar company. Sign up for TradingWithCody.com to find out how I trade it along the way to try to maximize profits with smart common and option trading.
At time of publication, Willard, author of Revolution Investing and Trading With Cody, was net long Microsoft although positions can change at any time. None of the information in this column constitutes a recommendation by Willard of any particular security or that any security or trading strategy is suitable for any specific person.
