B-Yachts Brenta B42 DC
Lead broker - James McNeil
Tel: +44(0)7979 907210
Click HERE to see full details and photos of this boat on our website
Originating from the legendary Milan based Luca Brenta Yacht Design House, the German-flagged JOLE 2 was launched in 2017 and has only seen very light use throughout her short life. She offers a fantastic opportunity to purchase a very rarely available example of the Brenta B42 with a high specification and at what must be a significant saving over a similar new build B42.
The Brenta B42 was designed to provide a fast yet easily handled and stylish boat but with the ability, unlike her smaller sisterships, to also provide improved levels of stay-aboard comfort for a couple or small family. JOLE 2 has a striking performance orientated sail wardrobe by Doyle Sails which can be flown from her carbon mast comprising; a fully battened flat head mainsail, self-tacking jib on a roller furler and a gennaker. She also has additional features such as; an in-carbon boom furling system, electric Harken winches and Cariboni Power pack for the mainsail sheet, vang and traveller for that all important "push button sailing" experience. Further practical features such as a retractable Bowthruster and electric anchor windlass add to her ease of handling. Additionally, she has twin carbon steering wheels, an electric marine flush heads, grey coloured caulking to her teak deck and cockpit, metallic grey coloured topsides and cabin superstructure. Her large cockpit area provides for not only great space when under sail but also for whilst at anchor or berthed in a marina. Her specification highlights include:
• Composite carbon fibre metallic grey coloured hull.
• Teak decks with grey caulking.
• Harken electric winches.
• Carbon mast.
• Carbon boom with integrated furling system.
• Cariboni Power pack for the mainsail sheet, vang and traveller.
• Pushbutton sail controls at both steering pedestals for the Cariboni power pack.
• Twin carbon steering wheels.
• Volvo D1-30 27 hp diesel engine with low engine hours.
• Saildrive gearbox with a 2-blade folding propeller.
• Doyle Sails' fully battened Taffetta Technora flat head mainsail.
• Doyle Sails' Taffetta Technora self-tacking jib on a roller furler.
• Doyle Sails' Gennaker.
• Electric anchor windlass.
• Electronics by B & G with autopilot.
• Fusion sound system with cockpit and cabin speakers.
• Galley area with a sink, gas stove and refrigerator.
• Folding carbon bathing ladder.
• Retractable mooring cleats.
• Passerelle.
• Bimini.
"Being amongst the major players both in term of design and boat construction ... of the last 20 years of high-tech design and built boats process, this team of high professional individuals has decided to team up to propose a new breed of stylish, high performances, easy to use, semi-custom built boats blending past experiences of typical large custom projects solutions into something new. This team strongly believes in spectacular products, which necessarily needs to be supported by high technical standards both in terms of pure naval architectural thus performances and construction solutions. This is the mission. High weight stability, very generous sail plan, great cockpit comfort and pure sailing pleasure mixed with style. The simple pleasure to spend your time sailing differently.
The B42 has been conceived as a 24 hours boat opposed to the 12 hours B38. Similar cockpit spaces as the 38, larger interiors with a separate full standing head and double berth up forward.
All the rest follows the general design philosophy of her predecessor, featuring the controls at the steering systems and, amongst the option the use of composite rigging that improves stability and reduce acceleration improving sailing comfort"

Day 2 – Seasickness and scrabble
Posted by Robbie - 9 December 2013
We've been on the boat for nearly twenty four hours now. I have already recovered from being ill and am now spending my time playing Scrabble and going to small lectures in the auditorium. This ship is surprisingly nice, when my Dad showed me images I thought it would be an old, dirty cargo ship, instead it is well kept up and has full facilities.
Last night was the worst it's been so far. The boat was rocking side to side (port to starboard) and back to front. The whole family was struggling and half the people onboard didn't make it to dinner. According to Greg Mortimer it"s is meant to be getting a lot better soon but common sense is telling me not to get my hopes up.
This morning I started a game of Scrabble against the two guys from the guardian, Alok and Lawrence. After a couple of arguments we've decided that we're going to set up a ship wide Scrabble tournament. I'm pretty sure it'll create many more arguments but at least it will give us something to keep busy.
I'd say that the last day has been great except for the beginning seasickness. Next time I talk to you I'll be much better at Scrabble.

A strange message came across the intercom in my Raptor class Interceptor that some corp and coalition friends had a enemy super-capital tackled in the system of Unefish. Rushing to Kheram I had none of my beloved and most efficient spaceships in New Eden, because this coalition that I find myself in are predominately Amarrian. As such when I arrived in Kheram I found myself with the Apostle sat in my hangar and having just skilled into it, the control systems were still alien to me.
Sat in the ship with very little time I did the normal checks; fuel, stront, and boosters. All checks completed and feeling weird about the Helium Isotopes; I hope it doesn't just combust in this ship that isn't thoroughly tested by the Caldari State and Science Divisions I am used to, but in my Amarrian allies I must trust, at least I had Caldari Boosters – they won't let me down.
The tackle was called, and quickly after dreads and faux were too and I blindly undock this huge Force Auxiliary ship with the familiar battle-shakes and trusting this Amarrian Tech to hold me through. Only knowing that we had a super tackled and not knowing which entity it was, I'll blindly follow my allies. I hit the grid and didn't realise that I am the only Faux on grid and quickly start capping up and I hear that Kesha needs reps. Looking at my broadcast history – damn, I'm on the wrong configuration. This instantly made me triage green and start looking for Kesha in fleet and add them to the watch list and lock for reps. Having repped the guy I needed and thankful for having dreads out with me I start to take a deep breath – come on you've been training for this kind of event you can do this I repeat in my head – I see a armor boost button, right we'll hit that and put drones out and hit the super. Damn the triage module means I do 0 damage, while not the Amarrian difference to the Faux its the first time in this big ship I didn't realise I'd do literally 0 damage.
Pandemic Legion then start lighting to cyno for more Dreads to fight our Dreads and the battle-shakes come back with the realisation I am in a Faux and it isn't going to be fun because I am going to be primaried, but alas that wasn't to be the case. Getting energy-neuted by an enemy Archon, I start concentrating on my cap and go triage red, ready for evac. A tengu comes in and points me but it lets go at the nick of time as I come out of triage, I am at jump cap and hit jump. I seem to be hanging in space for ages with less cap taking hits I am high armor I hate this I am screaming to myself who would design a ship that its tank needs to be its armor, shield is so much better. All of a sudden my ship is out of the hammers way and sat on the undock waiting for my cooldown timer so I can dock back up.
Having calmed down I now take a moment to reflect on what just happened and that is I've dropped a Faux and stayed alive but then look at the battle report we had killed 2 dreads, 3 carriers, 1 rorqual and 1 super carrier. We had lost 1 stealth bomber, 1 battleship, 8 dreads, and 1 heavy interdictor. While that seemed like a loss because the number of ships we had won the isk war, and objective based on just killing that one Hell at 38 billion isk.
Overall it was a great fight, and saw COGG fielding a Dread and Faux after the pressure that the alliance has been under. It felt like all alliance in the coalition at the moment that was a step in the right direction. So the message I send out to my fellow COGG pilots is whether we have to trust in foreign tech, we do it as we must build up the Caps On Grid Group once again because we can push Pandemic Legion back especially now that Goonswarm has jumped north.

Joseph Vegher Akpera,
Department of General Studies Education, College of Education, Katsina-Ala, Benue State
This study investigated the determinants of the success of immunization programme in Katsina-ala and Kwande Local Government Areas of Benue state Nigeria. Three hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The descriptive survey design was adopted. An instrument named Determinants of National Immunization Inventory (DNII) was administered on the respondents. The population of 1266 Health Workers was drawn from the two Local Government Areas. A purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 379 respondents. In data analysis, the split-half method was used and chi-square (x2) at probability level of 0.05. it was found that both funding and attitudes of government officials played a significant roles in determining the success of immunization programme while education of mothers was not a significant determinant of the success of immunization programme in the study area. The researcher therefore suggested that, proper planning, adequate budgetary provision and supervision should be intensified in the health sector; and that mothers should also be encouraged by the Local Government Health Department to present their children for immunization, as at when due, to ensure the success of the programme.
One of the important factors for achieving health for all, is the ability of the individual and organization to recognize and respond to changes in advancing technology for health, maintenance and promotion, new pattern of disease and disability, new social policies, expectations and programmes for better health services. According to Basavan (2006), emphasis should be placed on preventive medicine principles of which one of the most cost effective health interventions is immunization which is considered the key to attain the goal of "Health for all" (HFA) which was to be achieved in 2015.
Awosika (2004), is of the view that, immunization remains the most effective tool to reducing child morbidity and mortality, occurring from vaccine preventable diseases, e.g. poliomyelitis, diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus, tuberculosis, measles, hepatitis B and yellow fever. These diseases mentioned above became a great source of concern to all stakeholders i.e. World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations International Children Emergency Fund-UNICEF. As a matter of imperative, a possible solution to this tragedy was formulated in 1977 when the world health assembly adopted a resolution which stipulated that the main social target of government and UNICEF in collaboration with WHO should be the attainment by all, the world over, by the year 2000, a level of health that will permit them to live a socially and economically productive life.
In the views of Taylor, Green and Scout (2002), for vaccination to be effective and successful as a strategy, it must be administered to a great number of people as possible and must continue to be used until the disease is eradicated. In Nigeria, successive administrations accorded the health sector priority attention in varying proportions, with the sole aim of bringing qualitative and affordable health care to her citizens. This objective gave way to the expanded programme of immunization (EPI) which was designed to vaccinate and protect children aged between 0-2 years, against the six killer diseases namely: measles, tetanus, poliomyelitis, whooping cough, tuberculosis and diphtheria. This programme as earlier stressed by Nongo (1987), was launched in Nigeria, under the Primary health care approach which was a follow up to the resolution of the Alma-Ata conference of 1978 by member states of the World Health Organization (WHO). Its goal was universal childhood immunization (UCI) which was aimed at securing health for all by the year 2015, including nursing mothers. He further states that, EPI was launched on 29th November, 1984 and extended to all health institutions in the state, covering all the local government areas which in 1997 was renamed National Programme on Immunization (NPI), which has been incorporated in all health programmes and policy thrust. At the moment, the progress achieved in global immunization is attributable to the efforts of National Governments, WHO, UNICEF, United Nations-UN, United States Agency for International Development –USAID and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) including bilateral agencies and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The establishment and effective functioning of inter-agency coordination which is targeted at improving the coordination of donors in support of regional and national immunization programmes are useful in the planning and integrating activities aimed at sustaining the programme (Kaddar, Levin, Dorgherty and Maciera, 2000). In many advanced countries these interagency committees review programme performances at country level through periodic meetings and make adjustments to plans and their funding arrangements. This strategy promotes effective use of available resources by providing individual donors with the accountability and visibility needed for continuing support.
According to Battersby and Gruner (2003), priority activities to raise immunization coverage are: improving the management of health services, making health care services more accessible, informing and motivating the public, immunizing at every opportunity, reducing drop-out rates, using specific immunization activities. However, to correlate it all Euronet (2005), stresses the need for increased focus on disease surveillance as an "information for action" which helps direct immunization activities to areas of greatest need and is a prerequisite to achieving the specific disease control targets.
The role of parents especially mothers, to the success of NPI has been stressed by FGN/UNICEF (1984), that every Nigerian parent needs to understand the value of immunization and importance of vaccinating children before they fall ill of any disease preventable with immunization, and that every mother needs to understand why she must take her child to the clinic, not just once, but repeatedly to complete all the required doses, because it is only then that the child is fully protected. They advocate for the need to convince, educate and motivate mothers, to take advantage of the programme. Several researches conducted in Nigeria such as those of Babalola and Adewuyi (2005), Battersby and Gruber (2003) and Oluwadare (2009) show a strong positive correlation between mother's socio-economic status, education and the willingness and ability to fully cover immunization schedule for a particular disease as most of them solely depend on oral polio immunization.
In the views of Babalola and Adewuyi (2005), the legal mandate of NPI as stated in Decree 12 of 1997 is to support states and local governments in their immunization programmes by supplying them with vaccines, needles, syringes, cold chain equipment and other logistics as may be required for the programme. With all the efforts of donor agencies in providing funds for the programme, Creese and Henderson (2001) are of the opinion that substantial increase in funds is required to provide immunization services, in spite of the systematic under-estimation of the benefits of immunization and that there in general evidence of positive and often very high returns for such investment. Obioha, Ajala and Matobo (2006) observe that budgetary allocation to the health ministry has been low over the years in Nigeria which is an indication of lack of political will and the negative perception of some people, who harbor the belief that immunization is a deliberate strategy for population control. This perception makes this study imperative.
The study specifically sought to find out if:
- Funding determined successful implementation of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state
- Mothers' literacy level determined the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state
- Government officials' attitudes determined the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue State.
- Funding significantly determines the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue State
- Mothers' literacy level significantly determines the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue State.
- Government officials' attitudes significantly determines the success of NPI in Katsina-ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue State.
The study adopted the descriptive research design. The design was deemed fit for the study because relevant information to appraise the National Immunization Programme were sought and this design studies the entire population characteristics without manipulation or control by describing and interpreting existing practices, attitudes and policies which constitute the main thrust of this work. This is also suitable for large samples for which generalizations can be drawn.
The study was carried out in Katsina-Ala and Kwande Local Government Areas of Benue state, Nigeria using a population of 1266 health workers drawn from government and private health institutions in two local government areas (Katsina-Ala and Kwande). The two local government areas were chosen based on convenience as a result of availability of required secondary data and location. A sample size of 379 respondents was purposively selected based on convenience and interest. This was based on the fact that only health workers who engage in social mobilization exercise have in-depth knowledge about National Immunization Programme and can adequately appraise it.
The instrument used for data collection was the researcher's self-structured questionnaire titled; Determinants of National Immunization Inventory (DNII) which is a modified four point Likert scale type based on the continuum of Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree. The questionnaire was validated for both face and content validity by two experts in Health Education and one in Measurement and Evaluation at the Benue State University, Makurdi. The instrument was trial-tested and the split-half technique was employed to determine the reliability which gave a coefficient of 0.83, which is high enough for the instrument to be used for data collection (Emaikwu, 2014). The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square.
Hypothesis One
Funding will not significantly determine the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue stat
Table 1: Chi-square Test of Funding and Success of Immunization Programme
|Strongly Agree
|Strongly Disagree
ᵪ2 =53.06, df=3, p=0.05
Table 1 above shows the calculated chi-square value(ᵪ2cal) = 53.06 while the tabulated value(ᵪ2tab) at 0.05 alpha level is 7.53, since the calculated ᵪ2value was greater than the table value of ᵪ2, the null hypothesis which states that funding will not significantly determine the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state is rejected.
Hypothesis two
Mothers' literacy level will not significantly determine the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state.
Table 2: Chi-square Test of mother's literacy level and Success of Immunization Programme
|Strongly Agree
|Not Sig
|Strongly Disagree
Table 2 above shows the calculated chi-square value(ᵪ2cal) = 0.23 while the tabulated value(ᵪ2tab) at 0.05 alpha level is 7.92, since the calculated ᵪ2value was greater than the table value of ᵪ2, the null hypothesis which states that mothers' literacy level will not significantly determine the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state is retained.
Hypothesis three
Government officials' attitudes will not significantly determine the success of NPI in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state.
Table 3: Chi-square Test of attitude of government officials and Success of Immunization Programme
|Strongly Agree
|Strongly Disagree
Table 3 above shows the calculated chi-square value(ᵪ2cal) = 37.43 while the tabulated value(ᵪ2tab) at 0.05 alpha level is 6.74, since the calculated ᵪ2value was greater than the table value of ᵪ2, the null hypothesis which states that Government officials' attitudes will not significantly determine the success of NPI in Katsina-ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state is rejected.
The study sought to determine whether funding was a determining factor to the success of the National Immunization Programme in Katsina-Ala/Kwande L.G.As of Benue state. The findings of the study revealed that the availability of funds could greatly enhance logistics support, transportation and timely release of allowances to better motivate field personnel for greater efficiency and results leading to success. This is affirmed by calculated value (ᵪ2cal=53.06), which is greater than the tabulated value (ᵪ2tab=7.53) at 0.05 alpha level.
The study also sought to determine if the literacy level of mothers could play a significant role to the success of the National Immunization programme in the study area. It was found that the calculated value of chi-square (ᵪ2cal =0.23) which is less than the tabulated value (ᵪ2tab=7.92) at 0.05 alpha level showed that mothers' literacy level was not a significant factor to the success of NPI in Katsina-ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state. However several researches carried out in the Northern Muslim-dominated area such as those of Babalola and Adewuyi (2005), Battersby and Gruber (2003), Oluwadera (2009) and Gage, Sommer and Piani (1997) showed a significant relationship between mothers' literacy level and success of the immunization programme. This disagreement could be as a result of the fact that, in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs, illiteracy level is low and greater awareness is always created by government officials, community and religious leaders on the need to embrace and participate in the programme accordingly.
The study further sought to establish if government officials' attitudes determined the success of the national immunization programme in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs of Benue state. The attitudes of government officials hamper the success of NPI in Kwande and Katsina-Ala Local Government Areas. This was affirmed by the calculated value of chi-square (ᵪ2cal=37.43) which is greater than the tabulated value (ᵪ2tab=6.74) at 0.05 alpha level.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The following conclusions based on the findings are presented:
That funding is an important factor towards the success of the national immunization programme in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs. The inability of attaining a reasonable level of successful achievement in immunization programmes in the study area could be attributed to poor financing by the relevant stakeholders. This could be through a poor pay package for field workers who are employed on adhoc basis, late release of funds and lack of transparency on the side of social mobilization workers, at various levels of government.
Lack of health education, inadequate information on ante-natal and post-natal care were found not to significantly impact on the success of immunization programme in Katsina-Ala and Kwande LGAs. This is due largely to the fact that greater awareness and enlightment using various media both print and electronic, as well as sensitization by traditional rulers, religious leaders and in some cases, town criers in spreading the message.
The attitudes of government officials will also go a long way in enhancing the success of the immunization programme in the two local government areas. This is due largely to poor health policies, frequent changes in personnel coordinating the programme in the local government areas, as well as lack of political will and trust among the stakeholders involved in coordinating the programme in the Local Government Areas.
Based on the findings, the following recommendations were made: For proper planning, effective budgeting and control become imperative. All relevant stakeholders should ensure that enough funds are set aside for the immunization exercise. More so, government at all levels should ensure adequate budgetary provisions for the health sector and also ensure timely release of such funds.
Even though the education of mothers was found not to significantly impact on the success of the programme in the study area, awareness should be intensified among mothers by the Local Government Health Departments to see the need of immunizing their during immunization days.
Workshops, seminars and conferences should be conducted on a regular basis, for all categories of people involved in the programme, so as to develop positive attitudes, hard work, dutifulness and the political will needed for the success of the immunization programme.

There have been a number of complaints reported by Apple iPhone X users that the smartphone's screen stops responding in cold weather.
The first complaint was reported on Reddit by a username darus214. "I've noticed that my iPhone X screen becomes very unresponsive as soon as I step outside. It literally takes 2 seconds from going inside to the cold outdoors and my screen stops being very responsive. I try swiping on websites and it doesn't register my finger. It's very noticeable. Is anyone else having this problem?" the user had said.
The problem is not common, and only a few users have reported the issue. However, it turns out that there is a software bug causing the issue and might be fixed by an update.
"We are aware of instances where the iPhone X screen will become temporarily unresponsive to touch after a rapid change to a cold environment. After several seconds the screen will become fully responsive again. This will be addressed in an upcoming software update," Apple said in a statement.
According to Apple, its iOS devices perform best between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F) temperatures, but some users who are experiencing this issue have seen the screen problems within these temperature parameters. Reddit user darus214, for example, had his iPhone X act up when it was 45 to 50ºF outside.
However, it's not yet clear when Apple will fix the cold weather bug. Most probably, the fix will come in iOS 11.2, which is currently under a beta testing. On Thursday, Apple had released iOS 11.1.1, an update that addresses an autocorrect bug that caused "i" to correct "A[?]" on some devices.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has won a historic second term in office, but says she's more focused on living up to the expectations of voters than in "making records".
Ms Palaszczuk, beaming through a bout of post-campaign flu, on Friday claimed victory for Labor nearly a fortnight after polling day.
The win makes Ms Palaszczuk the most successful female political leader in Australian history, having won government from opposition in 2015, and now winning a second term in office.
The premier acknowledged the significance of the win, but said she was focusing on the job ahead.
"My focus is on making the lives of Queenslanders better, not making records," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"I'm extremely humbled by the trust and support the people of this state have placed in me. I won't let you down."
The first order of business will be establishing her new cabinet, with Curtis Pitt expected to be removed as Treasurer in favour of another senior minister, possibly Deputy Premier Jackie Trad.
Ms Palaszczuk confirmed there were "four senior economic ministers" she was considering as part of the cabinet reshuffle, which will be finalised at a caucus meeting on Monday ahead of the government being sworn in on Tuesday.
Ms Palaszczuk said she would make good on her promise to veto the Commonwealth loan to Indian Mining giant Adani as promised during the campaign.
The premier wished outgoing LNP leader Tim Nicholls well after he conceded defeat, but had a stark warning about the opposition's prospects if it didn't elect LNP Deputy Leader Deb Frecklington as its new chief.
"If the LNP does not back Deb Frecklington, I fear that the Nationals will break away from the LNP," she said of the Nanango MP, whose seat lies in the traditional National Party heartland.
But she also said the LNP leadership was no concern of hers.
"I've stared down Campbell Newman, I've stared down Lawrence Springborg, I've stared down Tim Nicholls. So who's next?"
Labor is expected to finish with 48 seats to the LNP's 39, with three Katter Party MPs, one representative each from the Greens and One Nation, and one independent.

Set in Fairhope, Alabama, and the beach resort area of Scenic Highway 30A in Florida's panhandle, four thirty-something ladies support each other through the triumphs and hard decisions of life. When their own ladies' retreat is canceled by the sudden illness of its veteran coordinator, Deli, Jess, Anne, and Lindsay travel to Seaside, Florida, for a local church's meeting on biblical reflection and meditation. The verses they study bring unexpected insights into their relationships with God, their families, and even themselves.
Single ladies, Deli and Jess, gain greater insight into what it means to be a part of a godly relationship. Deli battles her abuse history and takes a step of faith toward a future she never imagined could be hers. Jess, on the other hand, struggles to come to terms with her failing three-year relationship with a man who has little interest in God and faith. Meanwhile, Anne and Lindsay confront issues of motherhood. Anne's pre-teen daughter has begun a slow descent into silence and moodiness leading Anne to question her long-held beliefs about parenting. Lindsay has her own questions, but with two young daughters now both school-aged, hers is a battle of mother's guilt against a possible return to her first love: a career in law.
Their questions are our questions. Their journeys are our journeys. Come join them as they discover their own answers and God's plan for their lives on The Paths We Walk.

A Day Well SpentLeave a comment
June 12, 2017 by Nadia E. Browne
On Friday, June 9, 2017, we journeyed over to Calgary to visit our second RMI-Family study site located at the Pediatric Centre for Weight and Health (PCWH) at Alberta Children's Hospital.
The main purpose of our visit was to ensure fidelity to study procedures across both sites (Edmonton + Calgary). The visit also provided an opportunity for team members to provide updates on the RMI-Family pilot study, and share experiences derived from conducting the study. 'Meet and Greets' were held to give Geoff and I the opportunity to officially meet our research team (Josephine, Heidi, Cheyanne and Claire), clinicians and other staff at the PCWH. The knowledge derived from our visit will be used to evaluate the feasibility of recruitment, retention and study measures (such as the RMI-Family interview, psychological questionnaires and databases) for our 'full' study, which is scheduled to commence in August 2017.
Kudos to Josephine and our other team members for facilitating our visit – THANK YOU!

McLeod, Mont.
IN what promises to be the most contentious midterm election since 1994, there is no shortage of passion about big issues facing the country: the place and nature of the federal government in America's future; public debt; jobs; health care; the influence of special interests; and the role of populist movements like the Tea Party.
In nearly every Congressional and Senate race, these are the issues that explode into attack ads, score points in debates and light up cable talk shows. In poll after poll, these are the issues that voters say are most important to them this year.
Notice anything missing on the campaign landscape?
How about war? The United States is now in its ninth year of fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, the longest wars in American history. Almost 5,000 men and women have been killed. More than 30,000 have been wounded, some so gravely they're returning home to become, effectively, wards of their families and communities.
In those nine years, the United States has spent more than $1 trillion on combat operations and other parts of the war effort, including foreign aid, reconstruction projects, embassy costs and veterans' health care. And the end is not in sight.
So why aren't the wars and their human and economic consequences front and center in this campaign, right up there with jobs and taxes?Continue reading the main story
The answer is very likely that the vast majority of Americans wake up every day worrying, with good reason, about their economic security, but they can opt out of the call to arms. Unless they are enlisted in the armed services — or have a family member who has stepped forward — nothing much is asked of them in the war effort.
The all-volunteer uniformed services now represent less than 1 percent of the American population, but they're carrying 100 percent of the battle. It's not unusual to meet an Army infantryman or Marine who has served multiple tours in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
Moreover, the majority of those in uniform come from working-class or middle-class backgrounds. The National Guard units and reserve forces that have been called up, some for more than one tour, draw heavily on first responders, as well as farm, factory and service workers.
Their families live in their own war zone. At a recent Minnesota event for military families, I heard Annette Kuyper, the mother of a National Guardsman who had an extended deployment in Iraq, describe how she and other Guard mothers changed their lives while their children were in harm's way. "We close the blinds on the windows overlooking the driveway," she said, "so we don't see the Army vehicle arriving with a chaplain bearing the unbearable news."
This woman's son returned safely, but too many do not. As the campaign season careens to an end, military funerals will be held in country burial grounds, big city graveyards and at Arlington National Cemetery. Military families will keep the blinds closed on the windows facing the driveway.
While campaigns trade shouts of witchcraft, socialism, greed, radicalism (on both sides), warriors and their families have a right to ask, "What about us?" If this is an election about a new direction for the country, why doesn't some candidate speak up for equal sacrifice on the home front as well as the front lines?
This is not just about military families, as important as they are. We all would benefit from a campaign that engaged the vexing question of what happens next in the long and so far unresolved effort to deal with Islamic rage.
No decision is more important than committing a nation to war. It is, as politicians like to say, about our blood and treasure. Surely blood and treasure are worthy of more attention than they've been getting in this campaign.Continue reading the main story

When Nuco left the trucha, he was met by a short, shabbily dressed man bearing the kind of leathery, red and white facial skin that betrayed inbreeding. The skin, accompanied by nearly hairless eyelids, gave the man a lizardlike appearance.
"Sure," Nuco said, taking the bait.
The man disappeared behind a long row of churches. Nuco followed.
Once inside the bar, the man waved to the bartender, then turned to Nuco. "What you drinkin'?"
"Salva Vida," Nuco said, choosing the stronger Honduran beer.
"You need money," the man said, his intent betrayed by the thin line of Pavlovian pirate slobber.
"I got money," Nuco replied, then said, "Hey, this guy's gotta have some pull being so close to the churches."
"'E got money, too," the man replied.
Nuco ordered and paid for a beer. "What are you drinking?"
"Rum. You buyin'?"
"How much does it cost?"
"Thiry-five cent gold." In keeping with Utilans' Anglo sympathies, the man spoke in US currency, which the islanders called 'gold'.
Nuco handed a dollar to the bartender. "I'll take a double," the man said, his eyes flicking toward Nuco as if sizing up the distance between himself and a meal.
Nuco smiled and nodded, admiring the move. "What's your name?" he asked.
"You know Roberta?"
"I know 'im."
Nuco directed a few insults at the maricon, hoping for a response, but Winston remained tight-lipped.
The bartender returned, set the double shot of rum on the bartop and held out the change. Nuco reached for the money, but Winston took his outstretched hand and shook it. With his other, he took the change and dropped it into his shirt pocket. Tossing the drink down his throat, he blinked slowly, then licked his lips. "Hey, I'm gonna talk to you one day," he said, and ambled out of the bar.
"Who was that?"
"He one 'a the Cooper family," the bartender replied, referring to a part of the clan that had given up barrel making to enter the thriving business of piracy.
"He's pretty slick," Nuco said.
"Yeah, 'e crazy," the bartender replied.
The description gave Nuco pause. "How crazy?" he asked, setting his beer on the bartop.
The bartender thought for a moment, a frown forming creases on his forehead. "'e the craziest guy on the island."

Engage in any conversation and sooner or later the subject of consolidation comes up. Over the years, many of the top ag retailers have consolidated with other companies to solidify their ongoing growth and influence within the ag industry. For as popular a subject as consolidation is, historical information is almost nonexistent. But thanks to the recently updated Consolidation Chart from The Asmark Institute, the industry has a visual graphic that portrays its heritage.
The project began by compiling a list of the top 100 ag chemical and fertilizer dealers in the U.S., provided by CropLife magazine's Top 100 rankings and articles over the years, spanning from 1984 to 2017. The information provided in these articles created the foundation for what would become an industry first: the top 1oo dealers and their consolidation throughout the years. In addition to the information provided by CropLife, countless hours of research, as well as personal interviews with industry professionals, have helped to create this unique and very visual journey through history.
While many of the companies shown on the chart have maintained their ranking over the years on the Top 100, others have appeared briefly. This Consolidation Chart represents only the beginning as the Asmark Institute will continue to follow the companies and publish updates based on CropLife magazine's Top 100.
View the full version of the Consolidation Chart on Asmark.org.

Even as we await the sequel to 2015's mega blockbuster Baahubali, Mumbai-based author Anand Neelakantan of Asura fame, has brought more cheer for fans of the historical drama. The writer said that he's working on a trilogy, also titled Baahubali, which will throw light on the back-story of the epic saga. Fans of the warrior Baahubali who are keen to know about the braveheart's journey since childhood will soon get a peek into Baahubali's life and journey as a child.
Inspired by the success of 'Baahubali: The Beginning', S S Rajamouli, the director of the movie, has approached writer Anand Neelakantan to write a prequel to the movie. To be written in three parts, the first part of the prequel will be launched before the release of the second edition of 'Baahubali: The Conclusion' in April 2017.
" It's a prequel," he explains, adding, "The series takes off from where the last book ends." Neelakantan says that the trilogy was actually the brain-child of director SS Rajamouli, and will deal with Katappa and Sivagami's childhood. Nothing in the film will be repeated in the book. People will find it boring then," said Anand.
The author of the bestseller novel 'Asura: Tale of the Vanquished', said that the book series would feature the history of the kingdom Mahishmati, childhood of Baahubali and history of other characters in the film.It will be written in five languages: English, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi. "But it is first going to be released in English," said Anand.
The date of the book launch will be announced at the Jaipur Literature Fest to be held in January.

Author Rodman Philbrick explores several themes in Freak the Mighty. One is that of the Misfit in society. Both of the boys are outcasts because of their outer appearances; Max is abnormally large, while Kevin is diminutive because of his physical deformities. Additionally, they are both psychological misfits, Max because of his father's background, and Kevin because of his intellectual prowess and general weirdness. Another theme is that of the main characters' Transformation. Separately, the two boys are weak and vulnerable; together, with Kevin on Max's shoulders, they become the seemingly invincible Freak the Mighty. In addition to this unusual physical transformation, both characters learn to deal with their individual problems through their bond of friendship. After Kevin's death, Max's inner changes continue for the better. And there is the theme of Friendship between the two polar opposite characters. Their first contact is cold, but the two boys gradually discover that they both work well together and, more importantly, need each other's strengths in order to grow. In the end, they are both willing to risk their lives to help each other.

For Max, the "learning disabled" boy who has low self esteem at the beginning of the novel learns that he does, indeed, have value and merit. Through his experiences and adventures with his newfound best friend, Kevin (who has Morquio's Syndrome, and is deep denial of his impending mortality), Max learns to read, and eventually write his experiences, which turn out to be the book, "Freak the Mighty," itself.
For Kevin, our tragic hero, his flaw is his outward denial of his disease, which has left him stunted in growth, though his mind is far beyond those of his 7th-8th grade peers. He has strong transhumanist views, ultimately wishing to be surgically given a "new body." His fascination with knights and robots brings us a theme of human frailty and its need for mechanical improvement, which is ultimately ironic, considering Max's newly gained "strength" of mind and selfhood, the opposite of physical weakness.
Another theme of the book is that one does not have to turn out like one's parents, as evidenced by Max using his great size and physical might in only beneficial ways (despite some tantrums). He proves this to the community after he escapes his father. Max did have something to prove, and this frightening experience teaches us that we do have some control over our destiny. Another irony: Kevin did not. Hence his flight into his transhumanist delusion.

We are so sorry if this rules you out from our Graduate program. We love our MECCA Beauties from all over the world and we
value different perspectives in our Graduate program. But the thing is, at the moment we are so lucky to receive so many
applications from strong, talented and qualified applicants who are Australian or New Zealand Citizens, or Australian
Permanent Residents, that we are not able to offer Graduate positions outside of these groups.
Our purpose at MECCA Brands is to enable our customers to look and feel their best. Our stores are our beating heart. There's
no better way to understand our purpose, meet our MECCA-mazing customers and learn about our exceptional and exclusive

And if you are invited to join our Graduate program, you will need to be prepared to move to Melbourne for the two-year duration of the Graduate program, starting in early February 2020.
Our Support Centre is located in two neighbouring, beautifully converted industrial spaces in Richmond, just east of the

fittingly, our Support Centre is completely open plan (you can take a peek at our Support Centre on Vogue Australia's site)!
We are driven. One of our values is to do whatever it takes.
We work collaboratively. We hustle. We are fair. We practice generosity. We celebrate successes. And we have fun.
At this stage, we don't offer an internship or work experience program in our Support Centre.

No need to prepare an application letter. Simply answer some questions, attach your CV and academic transcript, and submit.

We aim to respond to all applicants by Anzac Day 2019.
The Graduate Recruitment Forum is a great way for us to get to know each other.
Come along prepared to ask us all and any questions you have about life at MECCA Brands and the Graduate program. And be

Due to the nature of the activities at the Graduate Recruitment Forum, we ask all invited applicants to attend the Forum in person in Melbourne.
For Graduates with current or past experience as an in-store Host in a MECCA Brands store, the program starts in our Support
Centre in early February 2020 (we'll confirm the precise date with successful applicants).
For Graduates without in-store MECCA experience, you will receive in-store training in October 2019 and join us as a Summer

hints of pear and vanilla... very lightly oaked.
Five glasses
External Reviews for Cht Montelena Chardonnay
Winemaker Bo Barrett's 2003 Chardonnay is one of the finest made to date. This is the classic non-malolactic style of Chardonnay that can age for a long time in certain vintages. It is never as showy or flamboyant as some of California's more Burgundian-styled, full-malo Chardonnays, but it is crisp, with more concentration than one might expect. The 2003 offers abundant quantities of lemon/lime-like fruit, hints of white pears, white currants, and green apples, a steely backbone, and noteworthy concentration. It can be drunk young or cellared for 5-7 years, maybe longer.
Fresh aromas of pear, apple, mint, flowers and minerals. Sweet and full but bright and youthful, with good citrus and spice intensity and an absence of rough edges. Still, this is a bit less penetrating and minerally than the 2002, which winemaker Barrett describes as "less heat-driven." Barrett is now harvesting his chardonnay fruit at night, pressing whole clusters to get more volume in the wine, and moving the wine from tank to barrel without any filtration.
Pale peach skin color. Bright aromas of apple, pear, pineapple and wet stone. Full but firm, with pineapple and more exotic tropical fruit flavors supported by underlying stoniness. Nicely fresh chardonnay, with firm backbone. Prior to the 2000 vintage, Montelena crushed all of its fruit; this was vinified with about 30% whole clusters. "A component of crushed fruit really pops the nose, accentuates the tropical fruit flavors," noted Zacherle, "but the whole cluster element gives finesse and elegance." Like the zinfandel, this chardonnay was mostly picked during the cool of night.
Cut from the same mold, the 2004 Chardonnay reveals more tropical fruit and lemon butter characteristics, but perhaps not the length and precision of the 2003. Nevertheless, it is a tasty, steely Chardonnay displaying little oak influence.
An understated style that's fruit-driven, with pure, ripe pear, melon, anise and hazelnut flavors that turn elegant. Finishes with a minerally aftertaste. Drink now through 2005.
About 10% of Montelena's Chardonnays are now put through malolactic, and even more revolutionary, about 10% is now being barrel-fermented in new oak. The wine spends six months in neutral, old barrels prior to bottling. While reserved and tight when compared to some of California's more flamboyant Chardonnays, it does merit considerable interest. A virgin expression of Chardonnay, with abundant quantities of crisp, green apple, tangerine, and pear fruit, this wine reveals good acidity, an elegant yet full-bodied personality, surprising depth, and a reserved, austere palate.
Clean, elegant and flinty, with crisp floral, apple, apple skin, and light nutmeg flavors. Drink now through 2005.

SPECIAL REPORT: Rabin is a symbol for what might have been
Here, in extracts from a new BICOM book to mark the 20th anniversary of the murder of Yitzhak Rabin, leading Israelis recall the late prime minister's achievements and legacy
Reuven Rivlin, President of the State of Israel:
Tzipi Livni, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Leader of the Opposition until 2012
Omer Bar-Lev, Israeli Labour Party politician
Yitzhak Rabin's outstanding contributions were in his last year's as prime minister. He made the very important and difficult decision to reach a compromise with the Palestinians and sign a peace agreement with Jordan.
Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
These were both events in which I was personally involved. I was in the IDF at that time and part of the Israeli military team that negotiated the first agreement with the Palestinians after the Oslo Accords – the Gaza-Jericho Agreement – and was also part of the Israeli military team that negotiated the military aspects of the peace agreement with Jordan. I was very much involved in the details and the tactics.
Of course the details of the agreement are very important, but in the end these are all tactics and the big strategic decision Rabin made – to come to an agreement – was because of his military background and time as IDF Chief of Staff.
It meant giving up some of our long-held beliefs and putting them aside because the peace and the security of Israel are more important. He understood that, in the end, peace is the most important and essential part in the security of the country and the only way to achieve it is to negotiate and – even to compromise – with your enemies.
I believe that he did it – apart from his personal belief that as a human being every one of us wants peace – from Israel's security point of view and this is what led him and our strategic decisions. Rabin understood peace is part of the security of Israel because there is no complete security as long as you have enemies trying to destroy you.
Michael Herzog, retired IDF general
Rabin was a commander of a brigade in the Haganah during the war of independence, which played an essential role in securing the road to Jerusalem and ultimately allowed Israel to keep its capital in Jerusalem. He then had a long military career before becoming the Chief of Staff of the IDF.
Rabin was not only a warrior and a commander; he was a force builder who played a major role in the build-up, composition and training of the IDF. He had a deep understanding that for a military to win a war it had to be professional and to train constantly. He really contributed to this becoming a part of the IDF's DNA, leading to the unprecedented victory in the Six Day War.
When Rabin became prime minster he made another significant contribution in trying to reconcile Israel's security needs and interests with an effort to bring about peace agreements with the Palestinians and complete the cycle of peace with our immediate neighbours. He signed a peace agreement with Jordan in 1994, securing peace on our longest border, and tried very hard with Palestinians and Syrians.
He epitomised a very unique combination of seeking peace while guarding Israel's security interests. I think he had a deep understanding of the relationship between peace and security.
He understood that peace does not automatically produce security, and it has to be fortified by solid security arrangements. At the same time he understood that solid security arrangements contributed to peace. That combination makes him different to any of his successors.
Einat Wilf, a former MK and academic Extracts from a new book published by BICOM's academic journal Fathom, entitled 'The Life and Legacy of Yitzhak Rabin' which can be downloaded at www.fathomjournal.org from 4 November.
Where Rabin was in relation to the Palestinians was not close to a place where peace was possible – certainly a permanent agreement that would end the conflict.
Because Rabin was assassinated, we tend to fetishise the notion that, had he lived, we would have peace. In fact he was less forthcoming than Barak in 2000 and Olmert in 2008.
Uri Dromi, former Foreign Press Spokesman to Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
Sara Hirschhorn, a Sidney Brichto fellow in Israel studies at Oxford University
Rabin certainly had a long and illustrious career in civil and military service. What stands out for me is his assertion that you don't make peace with your friends, you make peace with your enemies.
He was honest about the difficulties of the process and gave both the people of Israel and the Palestinians an opportunity to have to reckon with each other – understanding they had to go forward based on a very difficult history – but that there was a path to peace in the future.
Unfortunately, I think his most outstanding contribution, at least for my generation, was more in death than life.
He symbolised the hope and the understanding that peace could be within reach. When I visit his grave on Mount Herzl I see young people who might not even have been born during Rabin's tenure, flocking to the site to light candles and to pray for peace. They really still see him as the symbol of what may have been.

MTI narrows GDP forecast for 2017; MAS keeps policy stance neutral
SINGAPORE'S Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) narrowed its full-year gross domestic product (GDP) forecast upwards, reflecting a more confident stride amid an improving global and domestic environment and backed by a better-than-expected growth in the second quarter of 2017, led mainly by manufacturing.
However, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) kept its neutral monetary policy stance announced in April, saying that it remains appropriate in view of the stable growth and inflation prospects for this year.
The MAS's next policy decision is due in October.
MAS deputy managing director Jacqueline Loh said on Friday that the narrowing of the GDP forecast for 2017 - from an earlier estimate of 1-3 per cent to 2-3 per cent - is "within the planning parameters of the MAS's April 2017 monetary policy decision".
On Friday, MTI also disclosed that Singapore's GDP grew 2.9 per cent from the second quarter a year ago, faster than the previous quarter's 2.5 per cent growth. It was also revised upwards from the preliminary estimate of 2.5 per cent. Growth momentum picked up, as the economy expanded by a seasonally-adjusted annualised 2.2 per cent on a quarter-on-quarter basis, reversing a 2.1 per cent contraction in the previous quarter.
The manufacturing sector, which posted a 8.1 per cent growth in Q2 from a year ago, continues to drive growth, underpinned by the electronics and precision engineering clusters. The sector is likely to continue to support Singapore's growth in the second half of 2017.
Signs of growth broadening to the externally-oriented services sectors have emerged, but there is still some unevenness in the growth profile, said Loh Khum Yean, MTI's permanent secretary. Better growth translated into improved overall productivity, which jumped by 3.2 per cent in Q2. The manufacturing sector had the highest value-added per worker growth of 11.8 per cent, followed by wholesale and retail trade (2.6 per cent) and transportation and storage (1.9 per cent). Productivity of outward-oriented sectors grew by 5.2 per cent in Q2, higher than domestically-oriented sectors, which grew by 0.4 per cent.
The labour market remains weak. The drag in the manufacturing sector comes mainly from the still-weak marine and offshore segment. Total trade growth eased from 16.4 per cent to 9.5 per cent, based on the latest trade data by trade promotion agency International Enterprise (IE) Singapore. MTI noted that the outlook for the global economy has been stable in recent months, with global growth on track to come in higher this year than last year.
The US economy rebounded in Q2 and growth momentum is expected to be sustained in H2 2017. The eurozone economy is expected to remain stable and to continue to grow at a modest pace for the rest of 2017. The Chinese economy is projected to ease slightly in H2, following stronger-than-expected growth in H1 2017.
But downside risks such as increased protectionism, a quicker-than-expected monetary policy normalisation and steeper-than-intended pullback of credit in China, remain.
Still, the potential for these risks to have a significant impact on global growth in 2017 has eased, compared to three months ago.
Economists expect MAS to keep its policy setting unchanged in October.
OCBC Bank economist Selena Ling said: "While global growth prospects are gaining momentum, there is still considerable uncertainty about the inflation story, given that crude oil prices remain subdued and the domestic labour market conditions are not red-hot. Concerns over the recent pick-up in interest in the domestic private property market could also be nipped by macro-prudential measures if needed."
Credit Suisse economist Michael Wan said he expects the mix of growth to shift towards domestic-oriented sectors, in particular private consumption, and away from exports.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch economist Mohamed Faiz Nagutha said this was the first time since 2013 that the centre of the GDP growth forecast range has been moved higher at this juncture. In light of the latest data, several economists have revised their GDP growth forecasts upwards.
