Ripple Asia Interview: "Japan Was the King of the Mobile Internet, and Then We Were Disrupted"By Emily Parker
"Japan is very late to instant, mobile payments," Takashi Okita, CEO of SBI Ripple Asia, told me over coffee in Tokyo. "In China, people are using Alipay and WeChat Pay. In the US people are using PayPal and Venmo. In Japan, people are still using cash."
In an attempt to change that reality, last week Ripple announced the launch of MoneyTap, "a Ripple-powered payments app to offer real time settlement for domestic payments in Japan." This new project is a collaboration between Ripple and SBI Holdings of Japan. Okita says that Ripple will work with Japanese banks to provide something similar to the mobile payment service Venmo, but using blockchain technology.
MoneyTap uses Ripple blockchain technology, which is distinct from the Ripple cryptocurrency (XRP). People can use their phone numbers or QR codes to send money to each other, with biometric log-in for security.
This could be a game changer for Japan. "In Japan, domestic inter-bank payments is not a very good experience," Okita says. "The banking network is not 24 hours a day, it's less than 10 hours a day, five days a week. The banks charge around $3 for inter-bank transactions, so if I'm sending you $3, I have to send the bank another $3."
Meanwhile, Okita says, peer-to-peer transactions in Japan are still mostly in cash. "If I'm transferring $5 to you to buy coffee at Starbucks, I never use the banking system, I'll just give you cash."
This raises a much larger question. Why is Japan so behind on mobile payments? It wasn't always that way, Okita says. Around 15 years ago, Japan was poised to become a leader in fintech. Okita notes that NTT Docomo launched a mobile e-wallet in 2004, allowing people to take a taxi or train using their phones. So what happened? The iPhone came along in 2008, Okita says, and Japan failed to adopt a new, game-changing technology.
Today, Japan's start up culture is not conducive to disruptive financial innovation. "All over the world, powerful apps are coming from banking or fintech companies. But not in Japan," Okita says."There are no unicorns here. Most Japanese fintech companies are trying to achieve small successes without causing too much disruption."
"There are not many fintech startups in Japan that have the ambition to disrupt the current industry," he adds. "It's too comfortable to work with existing players."
It's relatively to raise 10 to 15 million US dollars, but nobody tries to raise a billion dollars, Okita says. For that reason, he says, "disruptive apps never come from fintech startups."
IPOs are much more common in Japan than in the US, Okita saya. Startups would rather collaborate with banks, get money from large institutions and then do an IPO. "This is the best scenario for start ups. Startups don't like moonshots. A small shot is enough."
MoneyTap, of course, is also working with banks. The program will be launched by SBI Net Sumishin Bank, Suruga Bank, and Resona Bank.
But do Japanese banks even need blockchain? It's not like blockchain is required for mobile payments: PayPal and Venmo have done just fine without it. Okita explains that blockchain will make transfers less expensive for both users and banks.
"The current inter-bank transfer system is a very centralized system, because you need to invest a lot of money to keep it reliable. Blockchain-based payments don't require that same level of centralization."
MoneyTap is not working with a decentralized blockchain like Bitcoin's, but a consortium blockchain that is similar to a private blockchain, where each member bank has a node.
There are other reasons why Japan needs a blockchain project of this scale. If nothing else, it's a way for Japan to make up for lost time. "Japan was the king of the mobile internet, and then we were disrupted by smartphone technology," Okita says. "Now Japan needs a new, game changing technology, and I believe that technology is blockchain."
Can Japan still catch up? "Two years ago, Japan had an opportunity to become the leader in blockchain technology. Now it's not so easy to be the leader," Okita admits. "But that's fine, we could be still a leader."

Yes, we can ship our cabinets to Canada. However, you should expect 2-3 days longer to arrive. Because our cabinets are manufactured in China, a duty tax will apply. You will need to retain the services of a custom's broker to help the shipment clear customs. We have found that it is more cost effective for Canadian customers choose to pick up cabinets by themselves at freight terminal locations on USA side of the border.

Shipping Terms and Payment Methods
All shipment will ship UPS ground unless if they are small enough for parcel mail which will ship by USPS and you have the option for package mail to be shipping via UPS 2nd Day which is an extra charge. All other shipment that are too large for UPS ground will be shipped via Freight base on a reliable carrier and their availability to ship out to the shipment address. In these cases, once the shipping company arrives with the freight shipment, know that the delivery driver is only obligated to deliver the shipment to the shipping address and unload the shipment.

These cabinets are the least expensive options for each finish as this is to be used as a starting point for you to gauge which finishes are less expensive and which are a bit more.

David Walliams Admits He Was Turned Down By Girls Aloud
Comedian joins Cheryl on Graham Norton show following split from wife…
We doubt David Walliams is thinking about dating again following his split from model wife Lara Stone, but when the time is right, he won't be giving Girls Aloud a call.
Appearing alongside Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on a special Comic Relief edition of The Graham Norton show, Walliams admitted that the girl group already turned him down.
Walliams, 43, told Norton he had made his feelings for the girl band clear years ago.
"When Girls Aloud came along I met Louis Walsh and asked him if any of the girls were single and he said he would ask.
"I thought he would do that discreetly, but he called a meeting of all of them and asked, 'Do any of you want to go out with David Walliams?' It was a No. And that was the end of that."
According to The Sun, the comedian and his wife of five years, Lara Stone, have embarked on a trial separation.

Genesis 42:29-36 New King James Version (NKJV)
29 Then they went to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying: 30 "The man who is lord of the land spoke [a]roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. 31 But we said to him, 'We are honest men; we are not spies. 32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father this day in the land of Canaan.' 33 Then the man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone. 34 And bring your youngest brother to me; so I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. I will grant your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.' "
35 Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that surprisingly each man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. 36 And Jacob their father said to them, "You have bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin. All these things are against me."

Another year gone since we last celebrated the world of Theatre in the company of 'Larry'. Last year's Olivier Awards were in danger of transitioning into Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Awards! This year, however, the winners have been selected a little more evenly across the board, although as far as plays are concerned, The Ferryman were very successful tonight and in the musicals genre, Hamilton collected a fair amount of the coveted trophies, as predicted. There were a few surprises though, which didn't go amiss, one of them being Best Actress in a Musical going to Shirley Henderson for Girl from the North Country.
I'm personally delighted that Follies was recognised as having the best costumes, a well deserved win for Vicki Mortimer. Follies bagging Best Musical Revival was also exciting to hear!
The show itself which was broadcast on ITV at 10:20pm (and sadly, not in its entirety), showcased some fantastic productions and I am inspired to see Young Frankenstein The Musical. I thought that looked like a scream (pardon the pun) and what a brilliant showbiz number they selected to show off. 42nd Street, I have reviewed and the numbers they chose to perform remain as wow-factor fuelled now as when I saw the show live, last year. Tracie Bennett singing her solo from Follies was the highlight of the night for me, she blew the roof off the Royal Albert Hall, it's a shame there couldn't have been two winners in the Supporting Actress in a Musical category!
Here's the full list of winners, see how many you agree with, I feel the list below indicates a good range of diversity in the arts and would like to congratulate each and every winner.
Full List of Winners:

Our work for Texas Children's Hospital has been awarded an SEGD Global Design Award in the category of Strategy, Research, and Planning.
In a world that is increasingly complex visually, designers are experimenting with ways to enhance users' enjoyment of the "real" world with creative experiential designs that communicate. Operating at the intersection of communications and the built environment, the field of experiential design embraces a wide range of disciplines including graphic design, architectural, interior, landscape, digital and industrial design.
Since 1987, the SEGD Global Design Awards have set the standard of excellence for environmental graphic design and experiential graphic design – honoring design work that connects people to place by providing direction, content, and compelling experiences in public spaces.
Winning projects have ranged from interactive multimedia environments to complex hospital wayfinding systems and from branded corporate environments to museum exhibitions. Retail and interior projects, architectural signing, public art, design research, and books have also won awards.
Awards are conferred by multi-disciplinary, international juries. Past jurors have included Henry Beer, Peter Dixon, Sue Gould, Graham Hanson, Lars Uwe Bleher, David Vanden-Eynden, Kelly Kolar, Ken Carbone, Mitchell Mauk, Ronald Shakespear, David Gibson, Paul Prejza, Lance Wyman, and Virginia Gehshan.
The jury evaluated projects in seven categories that represent the core of Experiential Graphic Design: Digital Experience Content, Exhibition, Interactive Experiences, Placemaking and Identity, Public Installations, Strategy/Research/Planning and Wayfinding.
11 Honor Awards and 28 Merit Awards were chosen from among 371 submissions of experiential graphic design projects from around the world.
"The world is wide open for designers, who are leading the charge to create true user-centered experiences. They are also guided by Design Thinking and solid principles of design for user experiences.," says Stephen Minning, founder and managing director of BrandCulture (Sydney) and chair of the 2016 SEGD Global Design Awards. "These principles are represented in the winning work."
Formation is pleased to represent our work for Texas Children's Hospital as the only winner in the category of Strategy, Research and Planning, reinforcing our core philosophy and approach to problem solving as an interplay of research, strategy and design.
More information about the SEGD Global Design Award for 2016 can be found on the SEGD website.
Formation is a design office located in Houston, Texas known for taking on large, multi-disciplinary projects. Formation has delivered thoughtful, award-winning, research-based design solutions for over ten years. Our clients in healthcare, hospitality, sports, administration, education, and the arts utilize our expertise to shape their cultures, define expectations, and create opportunities to connect with their audience.

The townsite of Allanson is located 196 kilometres south of Perth and just six kilometres west of Collie. It is in the Collie Coalfields, and land was set aside for a townsite here in 1898, in accordance with government policy of providing land for coal miners close to the mine sites. A railway station named West Collie was opened in 1898, and when a townsite was gazetted in 1906 it was also named West Collie. However, much of the original townsite land was underlaid by coal seams, and little land was released. A new subdivision was made in 1911, and the townsite boundaries changed and gazetted 1912. The name was changed to Allanson in 1916, and it is believed to be named after Arthur Allan Wilson, the MLA for Collie from 1908 to 1947.

Not many long-running and popular TV shows have been target of such harsh criticism and hate as the CBS's sitcom The Big Bang Theory. At first, it's hard to believe that a show with 20 million viewers per episode can possibly be so hated. Yet, Chuck Lorre's The Big Bang Theory somehow managed to pull it off -- not that this is an achievement they'll be advertising. However, for every TV show there is a group of people who idealize it and another group of people who want it to disappear from the face of the Earth.
Recently, we shared with you some pretty hilarious memes showing why The Big Bang Theory is the worst TV show in recent history. In the spirit of goodwill, we thought it was only fair that we do a list of memes showing why The Big Bang Theory is actually a good show. So, in case you're among those 20 million people who tune in every week to watch the adventures of Sheldon and the gang, this is a list for you. And if not, take a look anyway, perhaps you'll have a change of heart. Now, let's take a look at 18 memes defending The Big Bang Theory.
Rock-Paper-Scissors you say? Why not Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock? If you're a fan of The Big Bang Theory you're probably familiar with this little expansion and if not here's a quick explanation. In the words of Sheldon Cooper: "Scissors cuts Paper, Paper covers Rock. Rock crushes Lizard, Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes Scissors, Scissors decapitates Lizard. Lizard eats Paper, Paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, Rock crushes Scissors." Got it?
Sam Kass' Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock gained worldwide recognition after being featured on The Big Bang Theory. And that is one of the positive aspects of the show. Like it or not, The Big Bang Theory is a show that truly has the potential to promote lesser-known nerdy stuff, such as Kass' take on the age-old Rock-Paper-Scissors game.
Some would say that introducing romance into The Big Bang Theory is what essentially killed the show, while others believe it made it better. When we look at Sheldon and Amy's relationship we can't help but agree with the latter group, at least when it comes to this pairing. Most of us never really expected Sheldon to find a girlfriend, however, once we met Amy everything changed.
Sheldon and Amy really are made for each other. Amy is one of the rare individuals who find Sheldon's quirks adorable, instead of annoying. In turn, Sheldon finds Amy's bluntness enjoyable, while others see it as off-putting. Their love story may not be the most conventional one or the most romantic one, but as the meme says it's still better than Twilight.
"Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...Why I am singing this?" A thought that undoubtedly crossed your mind while watching The Big Bang Theory. Whether you're a fan or not, after going through a dozen episodes you're bound to start singing along to The Big Bang Theory theme song. Yes, it's fast. And no, you don't know the lyrics. But it's hard to resist the need to sing along to the Barenaked Ladies' catchy tune.
Just as back in in the '90s we all found ourselves clapping to the Friends theme song, nowadays we can't stop singing along to The Big Bang Theory theme song. And while we do our best to actually sing the lyrics, most of us just yell out "we built the pyramids" and "bang".
He may be borderline sociopathic, but Sheldon sure has some of the most awesome lines on The Big Bang Theory. While after almost 11 seasons some of his catchphrases have become washed up, his iconic lines from earlier seasons are still hilarious.
In the second episode of season one, Penny asks Leonard and Sheldon to let the furniture delivery men into her apartment while she's at work. The guys agree to do her a favor, but regret their decision after the delivery men refuse to carry the furniture up four flights of stairs. Just when they managed to drag the large package up the first flight of stairs the box slides back down. As the meme suggests, Sheldon's hilarious reaction can easily be used in real life situations.
The Confession Bear meme featuring a Malayan sun bear leaning against a log is used for confessions about taboo behaviors and controversial opinions we keep secret out of fear of being ostracized from society. Apparently liking The Big Bang Theory is a big no-no, so some poor soul felt the need to confess their unpopular opinion using this meme.
And it's not at all surprising. The internet is not the most welcoming place when it comes to The Big Bang Theory and anything positive that has to do with it. We get it, the show most definitely has its flaws. But it really doesn't deserve the kind of hate it's getting. Granted the earlier seasons were considerably better, but that can be said of almost any show. Certainly, the show isn't so bad that you should feel the need to hide the fact that you like it...is it?
We've all gone through crazy TV show marathons that could have seriously damaged our mental and physical health. A friend recommends a TV series which has been running for five years and you decide to catch up before the new season hits. You sit down with some snacks and drinks and you watch episode after episode until you realize it's 3AM and you should probably get some sleep if you plan to get any work done tomorrow.
However, you just can't end the marathon now because the episode ended on such a cliffhanger that even if you went to bed you'd probably just lie awake trying to figure out what comes next. Just like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory couldn't go to sleep before figuring out the physics graphene problem he's been unable to solve, us normal people can't sleep when the episode ends on a cliffhanger.
If you spend a lot of time on the internet, which you probably do, you know that memes against The Big Bang Theory are extremely popular. In fact, if you go looking for memes defending the show you will have quite a daunting task in front of you. That is not to say that there are absolutely no memes whatsoever that support The Big Bang Theory.
Just as there are those who go out of their way to point out just how much they hate The Big Bang Theory, for both valid and ridiculous reasons, there are also those who are willing to defend the show. One fan turned to The Ultimate Insult Man meme to send a message to those who dare insult their beloved show.
The Big Bang Theory started out as a predominantly male-led TV show, but over the years it gained two lead female characters in addition to Penny. And while the introduction of romance into what was supposed to be a show about nerds did not go over as well as the writers had imagined, it is undeniable that all three female leads are awesome.
Bernadette, when she's not yelling like Howard's mom, is tones of fun. Plus, she's an accomplished scientist and soon to be mother of two. Amy is an improved version of Sheldon -- genius, hilarious but not disrespectful to her friends. And Penny is tough as nails. A fan of the show noticed that the strengths of all three The Big Bang Theory women would come in handy in case of a zombie apocalypse and created this very cool meme.
In season two episode "The Barbarian Sublimation" Sheldon introduces Penny to online gaming. Against all odds, Penny starts enjoying herself and soon becomes addicted. She literally plays the game 24/7 and asks Sheldon for advice 24/7. Realizing what he's done, Sheldon tries to get her to stop but she refuses. Penny finally admits she needs help after her character starts flirting with Howard's character.
This is something we can all relate to. Whether it's a video game or a TV show, we've all gotten addicted to something so much that it was literally impossible for us to step away from it even for a couple of hours. And they say that The Big Bang Theory is stupid because it isn't relatable at all.
While The Big Bang Theory may be getting a lot of hate nowadays, this wasn't always the case. Back in the old days, it had a lot more to offer in terms of comedy and characters, but the only semblance of romance the show had was Leonard's unrequited love for Penny. Raj couldn't talk to women, Sheldon didn't want to talk to women and Howard was constantly rejected by women.
But whether we like it or not, any good story needs to have character growth. At the end of the journey the protagonist cannot be the same person from the beginning because the journey would have been pointless. However, this particular direction of character growth alienated part of The Big Bang Theory's audience because the fans felt cheated when the show started introducing romance subplots in a show about nerds.
Jim Parsons' portrayal of Dr. Sheldon Cooper on CBS's The Big Bang Theory has earned him critical acclaim and worldwide popularity. The actor has received numerous awards for his performance on The Big Bang Theory, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Parsons' portrayal of Sheldon is truly remarkable and worthy of the praise he's been getting.
As Sheldon, Parsons is able to make the audience laugh with a mere greeting. An honor previously held by Friends star David Schwimmer. When Sheldon is hosting his web series Fun With Flags his speech pattern is even more robotic than usually, and it's hilarious. Say what you want about The Big Bang Theory, but Parsons is without a doubt an amazing and funny actor.
Over the years, The Big Bang Theory has made more pop culture references than we can count. The references to DC Comics and Marvel characters are probably the most common, but the show doesn't shy away from referencing TV shows, movies and video games either. Even if you're not a fan of The Walking Dead there are plenty other television references that might be more to your liking. The show really does cover a lot of ground, even referencing anime and manga.
These homages, if you will, are usually very well executed such as the ones shown on the meme above. The guys' apartment and Stewart's comic book store may well be considered shrines to all things nerdy. Not to mention Sheldon Cooper's T-shirts we'd all like to get our hands on.
In season three episode "The Gorilla Experiment", Penny asks Sheldon to teach her "a little physics" so that she can talk to Leonard about his work. Sheldon accepts only because it gives him a chance to conduct an experiment. However, when Penny fails to understand what Sheldon is trying to teach her she starts crying because she's stupid.
Believing his words to be consolable, or at least that's what we're hoping, Sheldon explains to Penny that being stupid is no reason to cry and that one should cry because one is sad. An internet comedian used Sheldon's elaboration on sadness, crying and stupidity to create a meme conversation with Siri. Given that Sheldon's level of sensibility is equal to that of a computer, this doesn't seem all that unbelievable.
In 2017 about 20 books have been adapted into movies, including The Dark Tower, Hidden Figures, It and so on. However, despite the overwhelming number of book-to-movie adaptations, these adaptations have proven to be somewhat of a double-edged sword. While movie adaptations of the Harry Potter books and The Lord of the Rings trilogy have been met with critical acclaim and commercial success, others have not enjoyed the same level of success.
One problem most people have with book-to-movie adaptations is change. Books tend to have a lot more content than their movie counterparts because it's impossible to fit everything in two hours of film. Aside from cutting some of the content, the original story often goes through changes to make it more movie-friendly. These changes are usually not received well, because as Sheldon says, change is never fine.
There are many different reasons why people enjoy a certain show. Some watch The Flash because of the comics, while others just enjoy a good combination of action, comedy and drama without really getting into the world of comic books. As for The Big Bang Theory, the audience enjoys the show for four different reasons, one of which is largely predominant.
This pie chart demonstrates quite accurately why people love The Big Bang Theory. While there are those who watch the show for the romance, the science jokes and all the references, the main reason people like The Big Bang Theory is Sheldon. A character who in real life would drive them crazy, somehow managed to get audiences all around the world to love him.
Apart from entertainment value, certain TV shows have educational value too. For example, thanks to The X-Files we now have words such as exsanguination and obfuscate in our vocabularies. And after watching 12 seasons of Bones you're guaranteed to pick up some knowledge on the human anatomy. The Big Bang Theory has also a lot to offer in terms of knowledge. No, we're not talking about the science. Because, let's face it, understanding the science on The Big Bang Theory is no easy task.
However, memorizing the lyrics to Barenaked Ladies' theme song, while challenging, is doable. In order to demonstrate just how The Big Bang Theory theme song can be useful, someone created this hilarious Success Kid meme. Acing an Astronomy test has never been this easy.
Sheldon's T-shirts on The Big Bang Theory have always been an interesting detail to keep an eye on during each episode. Over the years, Sheldon's been seen in all kinds of superhero and science T-shirts. However, since his favorite superhero is the Flash, Sheldon is most often seen sporting a Flash T-shirt.
On the CW's The Flash, Cisco Ramon is the one who likes to let his clothes speak for him. Cisco is often seen wearing T-shirts with pop-culture and science references, and especially The Big Bang Theory references. Apart from being a very cool homage, this goes to show that nerds do indeed enjoy The Big Bang Theory. If a hardcore nerd such as Cisco finds the show entertaining, then it can't possible be as anti-nerd as it's constantly being pegged as.
Although The Big Bang Theory is often criticized for being completely unrealistic and even insulting to nerds, much of said criticism doesn't hold up. That is not to say that the show does everything absolutely right, but it does make some pretty valid points and can be very relatable at times. The relatability of the characters is one of the main reasons people enjoy the show.
The concept of four nerdy guys living out their somewhat mundane lives and gushing over comic books, video games, series such as Doctor Who and superhero movies resonates with the targeted group of people. And while some nerds may not identify with the show, there are those who do. At its core, The Big Bang Theory is a show about nerds and it does a solid job at representing some of the facets of the nerd subculture.

Date of birth1993-11-21 (26 years old)
Place of birthIllinois, United States
Jackson Parker loves traveling and exploring the world, and Europe was an obvious destination. A few years ago he traveled through Western Europe, and in Summer 2017 he decided to go back and visit some of the Eastern European countries with 3 of his friends. The small country of Chernarus was their final destination, which had started to become a popular tourist destination after the 2009 civil war. They arrived in Chernogorsk on July 9th and was scheduled to take a flight out of the country on the 14th at the small airport near Krasnostav. A few days into the trip Jackson and his friends heard about a new deadly virus that had begun to develop in Severograd. Worried about it's fast spread and how close it had originated from the airport they planned to leave from, they started looking for an earlier flight, but it was all booked out, and they were stuck in Chernarus until the 14th. Shortly after, the infection spread to Solnichniy and Bereznino, as well as the airport. Now they had no flight out of the country, and their best bet was to drive across the border into Takistan and take a flight back to the United States from there. They made the drive from where they were in Novy Sobor to Zelenogorsk, and planned to exit the country from there. By the time they got to Zelenogorsk however, the Takistan border had been closed out, trapping everyone in Chernarus. Jackson and his friends had no choice but to stay in the town and hope the CDF and other military presence could hold off the infection. By the 19th however, the infection had spread into Zelenogorsk and the military wasn't enough to stop it. Jackson and his buddies tried to drive out of the city but traffic and panic left them stuck on the road and when a horde got close they had to leave their vehicle and go on foot. Two of them fell behind and got trampled by infected. Jackson and his friend Thomas were the only ones to get away. They survived together for 5 days until a few bandits started shooting at them from a few hundred meters. Jackson and Thomas retaliated with the limited weaponry they had until Jackson was shot in the leg and a horde of infected found them after hearing all the gunfire. Thomas tried to help him get away until Jackson forced him to leave and save himself as the horde was getting close. Despite what he thought, Jackson managed to fend off the infected with his poor aim and the little ammo he had left for just long enough to make his escape. He's found a safe place to camp out until he's ready to go looking for Thomas, but he knows that the world surrounding him is a warzone and he must do whatever it takes to survive.

Technically the Undead do not need to breathe, but many do so because it helps with their sense of conversational pacing as technically the Undead do not need their lungs to talk. Which can at times lead them to go a hundred miles a minute in conversations.
Also, many Undead do hold to the habit of breathing out of sheer habit. A lot of intense debates between Undead often arise from one camp feeling they should abandon habits that serve no purpose other than to replicate things they needed to do when they were alive (eat, breathe, sleep) while others maintain a strong desire to keep to those habits because it helps them feel normal.
The habit of breaking into slap-fights during arguments however is one that both sides seem to be ok with upholding…at least if any of those intense debates are anything to go by.

Christopher Pyne Blames Labor For Liberal Leadership Chaos
"The change in the leader is not the right thing to do".
Government MPs are still struggling to answer questions about why a leadership change was necessary, with some raising bad polls, policy indecision and party instability as causes, but minister Christopher Pyne has pointed his finger at a new cause.
Pyne, the defence minister and leader of the House, raised the unlikely answer in a debate in parliament on Monday as Labor moved to criticise the Liberals for weeks of instability and drama which saw former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ousted from the top job and resign from parliament.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
"The government deposed the elected Prime Minister, but no-one is able to explain why," Labor leader Bill Shorten said.
"The government continues to be wracked by infighting, with government members leaking against each other on an almost daily basis."

In response, Pyne brought up the obvious parallel -- the chaotic Rudd-Gillard-Rudd years which saw Labor change leaders constantly -- and said the period had destabilised Australian politics as a whole.
"You've got to admire their chutzpah," Pyne said, as Labor MPs jeered, before he made a startling admission, that changing leaders was a bad choice.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
"They were a party that changed their leaders very routinely. And I agree with them, the change in the leader is not the right thing to do."
Government MPs have been trying to smooth over the drama of the last few weeks, publicly insisting it is 'business as usual' after Turnbull left the parliament. Pyne's admission was made all the more interesting as TV cameras showed only one man sitting behind him on the government benches as he made his speech criticising the leadership woes -- Peter Dutton, the man who initially challenged Turnbull and initiated the spill.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
"The Australian public are quite rightly most disconcerted with what's occurred and I do think the last 10 years of politics in Australia, the instability that was initiated by the Labor Party from 2007 to 2013 was the wrong way to treat the Australian public," Pyne said.
"But they began the process that has led to this 10 years of instability in Australia."
Pyne did have kind words for new PM Scott Morrison however, saying that "in two short weeks, the member for Cook has put his stamp on the Prime Ministership" and claiming he is "making the Labor Party hard heads of the caucus and the union movement scratch their heads".
But it comes on a day where veteran Liberal MP Warren Entsch reignited debate about the factors leading to the leadership spill, revealing media shock jocks had been furiously lobbying politicians for a change, and with senator Lucy Gichuhi threatening to name names of politicians who had "bullied" colleagues.
It's also just a day after deputy Liberal leader and treasurer Josh Frydenberg became the latest MP to struggle to explain why Turnbull needed to be booted.
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
It is hardly an easy day to welcome Morrison on his first parliament day as PM, and shows there is a long way before the government can overcome its deep and festering split.

NEW YORK, NY – On her first overnight call, internal medicine intern Dr. Erica Dalton has realized the entire hospital staff is sundowning. "I first started to suspect sundowing when the on-call attending Dr. Mohar told me I was his 'tormentor' and then threw a patient's pudding cup at me," recalls Dalton. "I know what you're thinking, it''s perfectly normal for attendings to throw things at residents, and I agree, but Dr. Mohar wasn't ever much of a thrower, he always favored verbal abuse instead, so this was very out of character."
Dalton then began to notice increasing agitation among the housestaff, "nurses weren't filling my orders, like– the septic patient in 15 still needs his IV antibiotics started, but the nurse for that room has been just been yelling obscenities at the pyxis for the past 2 hours."
Dalton attempted to orient some of her fellow residents, but met significant resistance after the on-call surgery residents threw their scalpels at her. "Thank God I didn't try it with the GI fellows" she sighed.
Thankfully, 4 years of medical school training and a month of residency had prepared Dalton for the delicate and complex matter of dealing with delirium. Using her expert intern abilities, Dalton ran around the hospital for most of the night giving IM Haldol like a champ. "I like the blow gun approach for the ones that are hard to pin down," she remarked.
As the darkness started to break and dawn drew near, the hospital was quiet. Residents rested peacefully next to the piles of feces they no longer intended to throw, and Dalton's quick thinking had been a success. "If there's one thing I learned from last night," Dalton reflected, "it's that I should always think to use IM Haldol sooner, maybe even consider IM Benadryl, that sounds like a great idea!"

Well folks we have been looking over the trails at Brock Creek for the past month and I can safely say that every single track trail out there needs a fair amount of beautification effort. So this Saturday will be a Brock Creek work day. Bring your happy
ass buttocks over and get ready to enjoy the day cleaning up the s/t. We will meet at the campground at 10:00am. We have trails near and far from the campground that need your love. I can help point you to trails and you might like to work in teams. I have not seen any LEOs out there but I have seen some BIG pigs around the east side of trail #23. I was going to bring some beer but there is no alcohol permitted in the national forest. Sorry, no Kool Aid either, just good clean American work. So dust off your machete, loppers, saws, a bike and join in on the fun. If you have a favorite numbered trail you want reserved for you or your team list it in your reply. I think trail #20 is aleady spoken for. Remember 10:00am at the campground!
BTW, sorry for the late notice but the website wouldn't let me post anything until I screwed around with it for 2 days.

8th January 2016:8/365 Teacher's Pet
Tell us about a teacher who had a real impact on your life, either for the better or the worse. How is your life different today because of him or her?
Looking back on my schooling days, I kind of miss school. My nursery and kindergarten pre-school days is when we were thought how to socialize with others so kudos to pre-school teachers which help in getting our stepping stone education intact. I wonder if any of my own pre-school teachers remembered me because I cannot recall them either; I was too young to remember.
I cannot say I really enjoy my primary school years because it was a tough, troubled, disappointing and traumatizing process for me knowing of some events I gone through but definitely thank those teachers I have that express their concerns with their patience for trying to put me back on track. Definitely still remember them and so do they.
Secondary school was my best learning curve of my life, I remember the teachers who taught me clearly and how they have impact me accordingly with all of them making sure we do well for our education scores. So thank you my secondary school teachers for the most impactful set of teachers I had in my life.

I want to Thank these set of facilitators for preparing me for the real world and pumping my confidence level in presenting myself well.

Brief Biography
I grew up swimming from age 5 through college at a D2 school. I began running about 9 years ago to compete in triathlons. I just recently started running more seriously about a year ago and have seen a great deal of improvement in my best times at all distances. I enjoy the socialization that comes with running that I never had swimming. My best time drop so far over the past year is my 10K from a high 39 to breaking 36. My triathlon races have also seen a great deal of improvement as I placed 2nd twice and 3rd once at local events last year and well as qualifying for USAT nationals. I still think I have more time to drop at every race distance and I am going to start trying more trail races.
Short Term Goals
I would like to improve my running abilities at every distance. I have only been running seriously for a relatively short time so I still feel I have more potential at each distance.
Long Term Goals
My long term goals are to continue to improve my speed and indurance. I have found that I have a major weakness in downhill trail running that I'd like to improve to compete at the 50K distance.

I regularly place in the top 10 at the races I run, both running events and triathlon. I am not a superstar but I am fairly consistent and am still improving my times at all distances. I enjoy training with groups and can run at any speed to accomadate the slower runners or people interested in starting. Based on preference and my location I buy all my running gear at Fleet Feet and enjoy the store atmosphere and the friendly employees. After being in Memphis for a short time I have seen how vastly different the running community is here. The Fleet Feet group in Huntsville really is a top notch group and I would love to continue to be a part of it.

With the final month of baseball approaching there are many stories to look forward to throughout the playoffs and the race to the playoffs. As of now, the American league playoff teams are all set with the Oakland Athletics, Houston Astros, Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox are on paste for a record breaking season, owning the league's best record 94-44. As of now, the Red Sox are on track to break the franchise all time wins record of 105. With Mookie Betts and JD Martinez having MVP seasons the Red Sox will likely be known as the favorites to win it all entering the playoffs.
If it weren't for the Red Sox's incredible season the Yankees would get much more attention. The Yankees are set for an amazing 102-win season. Although they still have a chance to catch the Red Sox for the division lead, it seems more likely that they will host the Wild Card game for the third time in franchise history.
However, the Cleveland Indians have not made much noise due to the division they play in, they are still one of the most dangerous teams in baseball. The Indians play in such a mediocre division that their 14 game lead on the division does not seem as big of a lead as it is. With additions like Hand and Donaldson, they are certainly a team to watch out for.
The most interesting American League race falls in the west between the Athletics and Astros. The defending World Champion Astros lead the division by just two games on the Athletics, who have had a magical season themselves. None had expectations for this team heading into 2018, and yet it seems like they will give the defending world champs a run for their money. The winner of the division avoids a one game playoff with the Yankees.
The playoff picture gets extremely interesting with the National League. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are in a tight race for their division, the Chicago Cubs are battling with the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers for their division, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are competing with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies.
The east division is lead by the young Atlanta Braves. This was a division who many people believed would be dominated by Washington, but the Braves young core has really surpassed expectations and lead the Phillies by four games.
The Cubs seem to have the central division all but locked with a five–game lead on the Brewers, and a five and a half game lead over the Cardinals. Although the Cardinals have been one of the hottest teams in baseball, the addition of Daniel Murphy to the Cubs has proven to have a great impact on the division. As for the Brewers they will have to lean on some of their MVP candidates like Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich to push them into October.
The wild, wild west is by far the most interesting division in baseball. The Dodgers lead the west by a half game over the Rockies and a game over the Diamondbacks. These three teams have been trading punches all year, and it will come down to the final week of baseball to decide whos in and whos out.

SHEPHERDSTOWN -- For many years, local residents have had to drive outside of the Eastern Panhandle to get occupational therapy treatment for their children. But earlier this year, Shepherdstown became the home to the Eastern Panhandle's first pediatric occupational therapy practice, Sky's the Limit, at 217 South Duke Street, Suite 103.
Owned by Occupational Therapist Amy Childers, the business motto, "Skills for the job of growing," makes a joke of a common misconception about occupational therapy, according to Childers.
"You're going to hear at least one person a day saying, 'I don't need a job!'" Childers said, laughing. "But our field is all about helping people do what they want to.

"With a kid, development unfolds with the skills you have developed thus far. If a kid misses a development stage, their entire development is delayed," Childers said. "Sometimes they skip a step, and there's a lot of research that has been done of the problems that can happen if they skip a step. If the development isn't done in order, you can see the impact, sometimes, years later on."
Childers, who worked as an occupational therapist in eight schools in the Jefferson County school system for about 20 years, said she always dreamed about opening her own practice. Unlike in the school system, where she was limited to only helping children with neurological challenges which prevented them from being on the same educational playing field, Childers can now focus on helping the entire child to develop coping and movement skills.
"What we learn in occupational therapy school is keen observation -- noticing what a kid is doing and not doing, and what the components of any task are, and what is necessary for the successful completion of that task.," Childers said, mentioning she graduated from Shenandoah University's master's degree program in 2000.
According to Childers, parents can usually tell when their child needs to have an occupational therapist. Young children may have missed a step in development, such as skipping the crawling stage and going immediately to walking. Older children may be labeled as "bad kids" in school, because their neurological challenges cause antisocial behavior.
"As occupational therapists, we can't diagnose problems, but we can look at what they're doing and not going, and help them learn the necessary components to complete a task," Childers said. "All behavior is communication. Kids can't always talk, but they show what they're feeling in their behavior."
During a free 25-minute consultation, Childers can analyze the needs of potential patients. If she isn't able to help them, she will refer them to the appropriate form of medical care. To schedule a consultation, contact Childers at 304-671-8535, email@example.com or on Sky's the Limit's Facebook page.
"I enjoy occupational therapy, because no day is ever the same," Childers said. "I enjoy it because kids are refreshing. I enjoy it, because I feel like these are little people with a very long life ahead of them, and anything I can do will help them have a better future."

Celebrate Independence Day with Red, White, and Blue Explosives
Kirsten Joy Weiss shows us how to make red, white, and blue explosives... and how to blow them up!
What's more American than guns and explosives?
Watch the video to learn how to make a patriotic firearms display of your own.
Neat trick, Kirsten.
We've seen Ms. Weiss make some pretty tough shots in the past, but watching her make and blow up some red, white, and blue explosives has got me feeling patriotic in a big way.
If you want to replicate Kirsten's shots all you'll need is some flour, food coloring, a bunch of Tannerite, and a sweet gun to shoot it with. Just remember to be safe and have fun while enjoying our freedoms this Independence Day.

Yesterday was one of the worst days since I started cycling. I already thought in the morning about taking the train to my parents and take a loooooooooooooong break from cycling. There was no specific reason, just a bad day. I thought I would quickly cycle to Koblenz and decide then what I would do.
The weather was OK, april-like with wind again and temperatures, so that I was taking on and off my different jackets constantly.
I think the cycling itself was OK, too, except for my right packing bag which has been squeaking for days now and was not exactly helping my headache. I tried to change the location of the hook but nothing helped. It kept on sqeaking....
The first town I passed was Bad Breisig which I like a little better than Remagen but maybe that was only because it wasn't as crowded as Remagen the afternoon before ;-)
I still had some good moments where I enjoyed my surroundings and the spring time one can hardly overlook, even in a bad mood.
I also passed Andernach which is definitely worth a visit and a lot of pictures (historic city center) but the first thing I came across was another car exhibition event (lots of cars, lots of people, no way to cycle) and being in the mood I was, I just wanted to get out and have my peace and quiet. So I didn't stop for pictures and also didn't visit the Geysir museum which hosts the highest cold water Geysir in the world (50 - 60 m) .
But my app liked it there and quit recording for the day....maybe I should have done the same ;-))
The things to come were not exactly highlights but they are always good for something.
I wasn't really surprised when my shifting system stopped working in Weissenthurm and, when I took a look, my shift cable was dissolving into it's wires. Actually, I was feeling relieved and already planned to bring the bike into the bike shop and have a real excuse to take the train or find a hotel and have a break until Monday or Tuesday.
But lucky as I am, I found a bike shop which was still open for about 40 minutes and the guy had my bike fixed, including de-lubricating my chain, filling up my tires and giving me real helpful tips (for not lubricating my chain) in 30 mins.
So I cycled on and eventually reached the first city limit sign of Koblenz. Once again, this was not the end of story but the beginning of another one:
Somehow I found myself - again - in an industrial and shopping area and the only way into the city center seemed to be via a city highway. For at least half an hour, I cycled around looking for any other way but all the roads led to the city highway and not one sign for cyclists to be seen.....GREAT! (I hope you hear my sarcasm here)
I took the last road I hadn't tried yet and met an older gentleman cycling towards me and he explained the way to the city center me.....Thank you soooooooooooooo much!
After some more cycling around, I found the city center and even a hotel room. Even in the first hotel I walked in and at a reasonable price (for a bigger city, city center and Saturday night).
The hotel was....OK (you could hear the neighbors and everybody in the street talking and could understand every second word and the train was passing about 200m away) but it absolutely clean and nice and had very nice staff, helping me with all my stuff getting into the elevator :-)
Having myself stressed out the whole day, I took the rest of the day off and just got some Italian soul food and watched some good old Hollywood action movie and suddenly the world was looking a lot brighter again.

What was once the hottest market segment is facing glut of inventory. "We have what is to most knowledgeable observers an oversupply of fractional interest units for a resort the size of Aspen/Snowmass," wrote Randy Gold, a principal in Aspen Appraisal Group who has been a real estate appraiser in Aspen for more than 30 years.
ASPEN SNOWMASS REAL ESTATE — Despite a resurgence for fractional ownership projects this spring, a recent study sees a tough year ahead for what was once the hottest market segment in Aspen and Snowmass Village real estate.There were 20 sales of fractional interests in various projects in April for $10.25 million, according to Land Title Guarantee Co.'s monthly analysis of market activity. The dollar volume was up 91 percent from April 2009.But for the year to date, there have been 57 sales of fractional interests, a decrease of 56 percent, Land Title Guarantee Co. reported. The dollar volume through April was $28.9 million, a decrease of 77 percent from the same period in 2009.The lack of activity isn't for lack of inventory. Aspen Appraisal Group did a recent analysis of all segments of the Aspen-Snowmass real estate market and found a "huge amount of unsold inventory" in fractional ownership condominiums, relative to other market segments.

There's a lot of information available to help voluntary & community groups ensure that they comply with the Lobbying Act, the legal framework for charity campaigning, in the run up to the general election on Thursday, 8 June 2017. To assist local groups with understanding and navigating the process, as well as to find key information relevant to the election and what's going on in your constituency, we've compiled a list of sources and links to local details regarding candidates and important dates.
Guidance on Campaigning
The Guardian has produced an article on what charities need to know about campaigning in the 2017 general election. It clarifies that most charities can campaign in the run-up to the election, but need to be aware of rules about donations, hustings and canvassing.
ACEVO's Speaking frankly, acting boldly report outlines some of the recent threats to charity campaigning, and reminds us of the successes campaigning has achieved. It is a rallying cry to encourage charities to speak out on behalf of their beneficiaries. The report discusses the role of campaigning in the history and philosophy of charity, before going on to outline the public benefit which such activity creates. Finally, it examines the current campaigning climate.
The Charity Commission's Charities, Elections and Referendums Guidance is for use by charities during the period between the announcement of an election and the date on which an election is held. This brief guidance should be read in conjunction with the Charity Commission's more detailed guidance on the wider subject of Speaking Out: Guidance on campaigning and political activities by charities (CC9), which discusses what charities need to consider when campaigning or engaging in political activity. The principles described in CC9 continue to apply during an election period. The Charity Commission's guidance divides campaigning into two categories: non-political campaigning that raises awareness about an issue and political campaigning that aims to change legislation or policy.
The Electoral Commission's Charities and Campaigning document is for charities that are thinking of campaigning in the run up to an election and who would like to understand the interaction between charity and election law.
NAVCA's Election Guidance was written for the 2015 election to help members understand the Lobbying Act and allow NAVCA members to consider how it affects them and how it effects organisations they support and advise. This legislation should not be a deterrent to continuing to speak out for the people you represent.
NCVO's General Election 2017 provides guidance on how to campaign and speak up while staying within the rules. NCVO has also expressed its views on what the sector should be doing in the lead up to the general election.
