NZ Post plans to invest close to $170 million on infrastructure – starting with a new Wellington 'super' depot for parcels
Listen to the story (FreightComms AudioPost)
The investment programme begins with construction of a new 'super depot' for parcels, in Grenada, Wellington. The programme also includes a new processing centre in Wiri, Auckland, due to open in 2023, and an upgrade to the Southern Operations Centre in Christchurch in 2022.
The Wellington super depot is due to open in 2022. NZ Post plans to invest around $18 million in the latest global technology that will sort and scan parcels at a much faster rate than what we have now.
"We know that customers really want complete visibility of where their parcel is at all times of its journey – and this technology will improve our ability to do this," says NZ Post Chief Executive, David Walsh. "We're making this multi million dollar investment to support New Zealand businesses – both growing new businesses as well as major ecommerce giants.
"NZ Post is forecasting significant growth in the amount New Zealanders will buy online in the next decade – this was before the explosion in online shopping during the COVID-19 period. Last year online shopping in New Zealand grew 13% with almost 50% of adult New Zealanders now shopping online, and we are expecting this growth to continue. We're pleased to be able to invest confidently in our future, to meet the growth in online shopping.
"The depot will have a 10440 square metre processing floor – about the size of a rugby field – with plenty of room for processing New Zealanders' parcels.
"We are proud to be contributing to the Wellington regional economy over the next two years, with the projects main contractors, Aspec Construction Wellington LTD, expecting to employ around 350 people through 60 sub-contractors on this project," says Ash Pama, the property owners' representative.
During the COVID lockdown period, NZ Post received over 3.5 million parcels in the first two weeks of Alert Level 3. It had been planning for this quantity of parcels in 2023.
Supporting our commitment to be carbon neutral from 2030, the Wellington super depot will incorporate a range of environmentally sustainable design features and has also been designed to accommodate a large solar power installation once battery technology makes this a viable option for our operation.
Port of Long Beach sees cargo increase
Listen to the story (FreightComms AudioPost)
Cargo shipments rose at the Port of Long Beach in May as the economic effects of COVID-19 started to subside.
Dockworkers and terminal operators moved 628,205 twenty-foot equivalent units of container cargo last month, a 9.5% increase from May 2019. Imports grew 7.6% to 312,590 TEUs, while exports climbed 11.6% to 134,556 TEUs. Empty containers headed back overseas jumped 11.4% to 181,060 TEUs.
The Port has moved 2,830,855 TEUs during the first five months of 2020, 5.9% down from the same period in 2019.
"Our strong numbers reflect the efforts of our Business Recovery Task Force, which is setting the path for efficient cargo movement and growth," said Mario Cordero, Executive Director of the Port of Long Beach. "Our focus on operational excellence and world-class customer service will continue as we prioritize our industry-leading infrastructure development projects."
"We aren't out of the woods, but this is the gradual growth we have anticipated as the United States starts to rebound from the devastating economic impacts of COVID-19 and the trade war with China," said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Bonnie Lowenthal.
As part of its recovery efforts, the Port of Long Beach has activated an internal Business Recovery Task Force that works with customers, industry partners, labor and government agencies to ensure terminal and supply chain operations continue without disruption, along with expediting shipments of crucial personal protective equipment.
May marked the first month in 2020 that cargo shipments rose at the nation's second-busiest port, and followed seven consecutive months of declines attributed to the U.S.-China trade dispute and the COVID-19 epidemic.
Manufacturing in China continues to rebound from the effects of COVID-19, while demand for furniture, digital products and home improvement goods is increasing in the United States.

Leaders of Israel's ultra-Orthodox parties mounted a furious, unrestrained attack on Naftali Bennett on June 8, with Minister Yaakov Litzman of the United Torah Judaism party accusing the prime minister-designate of "disgracing" the yarmulke he wears and demanding he remove it.
Litzman accused Bennett of forming a radical left-wing government lacking moral values. He warned that the so-called government of change would annihilate Israel's Jewish identity by allowing liberal conversions to Judaism, imposing the military draft on ultra-Orthodox men instead of allowing them to dedicate themselves to Torah study, allowing civil marriage and public transportation on the Jewish Sabbath and recognizing the Reform stream of progressive Judaism.
Litzman's harsh lament was delivered at the Knesset, during a dramatic press conference convened by ultra-Orthodox lawmakers, hours after Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin announced that the new Bennett-led government would be sworn in June 13. By scheduling the vote on the new government, Yariv dashed ultra-Orthodox hopes that their longtime ally, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, would pull a rabbit out of his hat at the last minute and save them from the opposition benches.
Convening what they termed an "emergency" meeting, the ultra-Orthodox vowed to fight the "wicked" government, calling it a spiritual and material threat to the denizens of the Holy Land. They also warned against a government that will cooperate with the Reform movement, which they regard as a desecration of true Judaism.
Indeed, change is in the air. The two main ultra-Orthodox parties, United Torah Judaism and Shas, have enjoyed a long and fruitful alliance with Netanyahu. They were members of Netanyahu-led coalitions for all but two of their 12 years, only being excluded from Netanyahu's third government after the 2013 elections by an alliance forged between two rising stars of Israeli politics — Bennett and Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid.
The ultra-Orthodox returned to government in 2015, their deep allegiance to Netanyahu undeterred by his criminal indictment on corruption charges. They refused to abandon him even after he instigated four consecutive elections in two years, failing each time to obtain sufficient votes to form a new government despite the support of their constituents. Netanyahu enjoyed their guaranteed backing while they basked in his power and the jobs and budgets it provided. Even if they had wanted to break with Netanyahu, their ultra-Orthodox constituents would have objected, reflecting the increasingly right-wing, pro-Netanyahu identity of their flock. Had direct elections been held for the premiership — rather than for political parties — as Netanyahu wanted in order to maintain his hold on power, he would have won big time among the ultra-Orthodox.
The ultra-Orthodox are now experiencing a rerun of the Bennett-Lapid alliance of 2013, this time with the participation of Yisrael Beitenu Chairman Avigdor Liberman, the finance minister-designate in the new government whose party will also control the Knesset's Finance Committee, a position Netanyahu traditionally reserved for the ultra-Orthodox. This constellation — of two crucial budget sources in the hands of a blatantly anti-clerical party — is nothing short of a disaster for the ultra-Orthodox.
Not only will they be cut off almost overnight from a generous font of funding and influence and left to warm the opposition benches, they will face proposed legislation anchored in the guidelines of the new government that mandates the military draft of young ultra-Orthodox men. They could also be forced to teach math, science and English in their school systems, in addition to Bible studies, as a condition for government funding.
Another impending nightmare scenario is the expected formation of a commission of inquiry, as per the demand of Defense Minister Benny Gantz, to investigate the April 30 stampede at a religious festival that killed 45 ultra-Orthodox Jews. Many observers view the tragedy — billed as Israel's biggest civilian disaster — as a reflection of the corruption endemic in the top ranks of the ultra-Orthodox parties and their varied offshoot organizations, in violation of the laws of the state and a preference for religious ritual over the sanctity of human life. Ultra-Orthodox parties have thus far prevented formation of an inquiry commission, fearing its findings would point the finger of blame at senior leaders of their communities.
But perhaps their biggest frustration and anger stems from seeing Ra'am, a religious Islamist Arab party, joining the new government and being rewarded with much of the benefits of which they themselves are being deprived — mammoth budgets and jobs.
Although it was Liberman who ruled out any participation by the ultra-Orthodox in the new government, Bennett is also being cast as the bad guy, a heartless and immoral politician defrauding them out of their rights. They insist this is particularly egregious given the fact that he is a religious, right-wing ideologue who had assured them he would do everything it takes to forge a right-wing government with Netanyahu. Instead, they are at the mercy of a government with what they regard as distinctly left-wing, secular overtones, and Netanyahu cannot save them.
The extent of the ultra-Orthodox rage at Bennett was illustrated clearly in the ugly personal assault its leadership mounted against him. Knesset member Moshe Gafni, the longtime chair of the Knesset Finance Committee, sounded particularly bitter, calling Bennett a "wicked" man. "Such a thing has never happened," he shouted, waving his fist as he faced lawmakers and journalists in the Knesset. "There will be a war over God's desecration."
Gafni called the coalition agreements reached between the parties of the new government "despicable sacrilege," adding, "I have been in the Knesset for many years. I cannot recall such a paper. … What sacrilege! I do not remember anything like this! … There was never a government that dared do such a thing."
Calling Bennett "that wicked man who supposedly wears a kippah [yarmulke]," he accused him of forming an anti-religious government, and pledged "to erase this wicked government from the face of the land. Do not talk to us, get out of our face."
Bennett's response only served to inflame the ultra-Orthodox fury further. "As prime minister, I will take care of the ultra-Orthodox public and of the Torah world," he said in a statement. "To the ultra-Orthodox citizens of the country I say, again, 'You have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, the past year has shown that you are the ones who pay, with your very lives, for a political culture of neglect, nepotism and the perpetuation of problems.'"
Not to be outdone, the ultra-Orthodox ramped up their assault, saying that Bennett should hold the title of the biggest liar in Israeli politics. In addition, they ordered a boycott of Bennett. The ultra-Orthodox radio station Kol Hai announced that it would not broadcast the vote on the new "left-wing" government and its swearing in next week [June 13], and would instead air a live prayer session to strengthen its "hundreds of thousands" of listeners.
The ultra-Orthodox parties have been banished to the opposition in the past, but this time the move is likely to have significant repercussions for Israel's political system and for the ultra-Orthodox leadership, the nature of which cannot be assessed at this time.

Experimental Simulation Set-Up for Validating Out-Of-The-Loop Mitigation when Monitoring High Levels of Automation in Air Traffic Control
Authors: Oliver Ohneiser, Francesca De Crescenzio, Gianluca Di Flumeri, Jan Kraemer, Bruno Berberian, Sara Bagassi, Nicolina Sciaraffa, Pietro Aricò, Gianluca Borghini, Fabio Babiloni
An increasing degree of automation in air traffic will also change the role of the air traffic controller (ATCO). ATCOs will fulfill significantly more monitoring tasks compared to today. However, this rather passive role may lead to Out-Of-The-Loop (OOTL) effects comprising vigilance decrement and less situation awareness. The project MINIMA (Mitigating Negative Impacts of Monitoring high levels of Automation) has conceived a system to control and mitigate such OOTL phenomena. In order to demonstrate the MINIMA concept, an experimental simulation set-up has been designed. This set-up consists of two parts: 1) a Task Environment (TE) comprising a Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA) simulator as well as 2) a Vigilance and Attention Controller (VAC) based on neurophysiological data recording such as electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking devices. The current vigilance level and the attention focus of the controller are measured during the ATCO's active work in front of the human machine interface (HMI). The derived vigilance level and attention trigger adaptive automation functionalities in the TE to avoid OOTL effects. This paper describes the full-scale experimental set-up and the component development work towards it. Hence, it encompasses a pre-test whose results influenced the development of the VAC as well as the functionalities of the final TE and the two VAC's sub-components.
Keywords: Automation, human factors, air traffic controller, MINIMA, OOTL, Out-Of-The-Loop, EEG, electroencephalography, HMI, human machine interface.

Good morning! Laura here today to share my next layout I created for ECD!
I really like to mix my papers from different collections as long as the color families are the same so for this layout I mixed some papers from the Mystical Winter paper pack, the Rusty Weathered and the Summer Art!
To create this layout:
Step 1 – Trim one paper to 11×7 and distress the edges, distress the edges of a 12×12 sheet and cut a 'V' into the top right of both papers about 2 1/2 " from the edge. Cut one more piece of paper large enough to be adhered behind the cut 'V'
Step 2 – adhere all the papers together and then cover with clear gesso and allow to dry
Step 3 – using watered down paints paint circles randomly in various sizes and also splatter some paint
Step 4 – Die cut 7 flowers and assemble. I die cut Florals 6, 8, 1, 2, 3, and 4 using white cardstock then painted them with the watercolor palette.
Step 5 – add your title
Step 6 – add some resin pieces, seed beads, art stones and cord to finish your layout!
Than you for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to create something today!

Building From Talent Development to Organizational Success
Human talent is the basic building block for everything an organization uses, does, produces, and delivers, and these things, in turn, create the value the company offers to all stakeholders. Figure 1 shows how talent development fits into the value chain.
Figure 1. Talent Development Alignment
To pass their value upward, what should competent and dedicated talent development leaders do and accomplish?
A strategic plan will illuminate the answers to these questions. A strategic plan can help leaders align resources, people, and what the organization provides in a manner that creates the most value for everyone, including stakeholders and employees. This, in turn, can illustrate and justify the role of talent development in creating value.
Many talent development efforts focus primarily on individuals and their performance at their jobs. But it's important to make sure that each person in the organization contributes uniquely to the bigger picture of what the organization uses, does, produces, and delivers, and the value added outside of the organization. This distinction can be illustrated by the systems versus system perspectives. The systems perspective only considers parts of the whole system, and not their context or connectivity. The system perspective considers the entire organization, including what your company offers to society in general.(See Figure 2.) A useful plan will provide the criteria for planning for the entire system.
Finally, a good strategic plan should provide valid data to justify what talent development uses, does, produces, and delivers, throughout the entire system. There are several guiding principles of strategic planning that talent development professionals must keep in mind:
- Measurable results are good.
- Useful measurable results are even better.
- Talent must deliver useful results that add value within and outside the organization.
- Strategic planning is about ends (results and consequences), not just about means (programs, activities, courses, or delivery).
- Strategic planning requires that criteria are based on evidence.
- All organizations are means to societal ends. If they are not adding measurable value to our shared world, they are likely subtracting value.
- All organizations must demonstrate value for money to all their stakeholders.
- There are three levels of results for every organization: external contributions, organizational contributions, and individual contributions. These define the context for talent development.
- All three levels of results must be aligned for efficient operations so people know what to do and deliver, and why it is important to do so.
- Performance data from each of these three levels may be derived by documenting the gaps (needs) between current results and contributions and desired results and contributions.
- It is vital that all parts of any organization operate successfully individually as well as together to add value to all internal and external stakeholders. The function of a practical strategic plan is to ensure that this alignment takes place.
- A useful method for obtaining these data is called needs assessment, in which needs are gaps in results, not gaps in means or resources.
Collecting Valid Data to Assure That Talent Development Will Contribute to Organizational Success
Talent development, regardless of the delivery methods used, should be based on what the organization must deliver. What should be delivered is best based on the needs identified for all stakeholders. Therefore, it is recommended that we identify, in measurable performance terms, the needs between current results and consequences and desired results and consequences—the gaps between what is and what should be.
The needs at the three aligned levels of results will identify and justify what the organization should use, do, produce, and deliver. This is different from other approaches that focus on wants—people's perceptions of the ways and means to close gaps. The needs approach first analyzes the gaps themselves, so appropriate means may be selected to close them.
Identifying What the Organization Wants to Become, and How It Justifies Its Funding and Existence
A useful strategic plan identifies and justifies what an organization wants to become. What an organization does and delivers will be based on the value it provides to all stakeholders, and the funding and support for an organization will be based on the same criteria. To gain the insight required to create a strategic plan, we must observe the needs—gaps in results—between where we are and where we want to be, and prioritize those needs based on the costs to meet the needs as compared with the costs to ignore them.
A worthy strategic plan provides the measurable objectives for creating our future and thus provides the criteria for defining how to get from here to there, the criteria for implementing the plan, and the criteria for evaluation and continual improvement. This approach provides the North Star by which to navigate organizational decision making. It also helps us understand how the larger community of the world outside our organizations is the largest stakeholder of all, a concept that will be explored in greater detail in part two of this blog series.

Summertime offers the distinct advantage of a lot of beers that are well suited to the weather and to sharing your love of beer with other friends. Many are well-acquainted with summer styles like wheat beers, typified by Hoegaarden, Sam Adams Summer Seasonal, Bell's Oberon, or even Blue Moon. There is now a great number of seasonals from your favorite brewers which will appeal to everyone.
Here are some suggestions of great summertime beers to bring with you anywhere. Of course, this list is in no way comprehensive, so please share your favorite summer beers in the comment section below.
Gaining its "Double" moniker by being a rather high ABV choice, this is no wimpy witbier. A nice light body and pale golden color, crisp and refreshing with lots of complex flavors of banana, clover, lemon and of course – wheat. This beer is extremely drinkable and available in 6-packs at Harris Teeter grocery stores around the district.
White Rascal is a bit of a sweeter wheat beer, with strong notes of orange and lemon. As the style should be, this beer is crisp and refreshing and perfect for your summer afternoon lounging on the deck in the sun. This beer is available at a number of beer and wine stores through out the area.
One of the most recognizable names in American craft brewing, Allagash makes everything from this great example of a classic style to their more intricate and complex beers. This beer is available on tap at restaurants through out the region and also in bottles at your local grocery and spirit stores.
This beer will surely become a classic for many craft beer enthusiasts. This beer has a clear grapefruit flavor that sets it apart and a balanced hop finish that one expects drinking Harpoon beers. This Kolsch style is a great choice for those looking for something different from wheat styles ubiquitous in summer.
Anderson Valley Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice was the most recommended summer beer when I asked around for suggestions for this post. I think this beer is set apart by the nice malt backbone, making this ale something that will appeal to many different beer drinkers.
For sour fans, this beer is a great choice. A true Bavarian beer, the Brau-Weisse has a great tart finish in addition to its traditional lemon, wheat flavors. This beer is renowned around the world. Look for it at craft beer bars around the area.
The fine folks at DFH have titled this one a "Neo-BerlinerWeisse." Festina Peche gains its name from the fresh peach juices brewed into the beer, making the aroma and flavor distinctly peachy. This beer is also very true to its style, which means it is tart, which nicely balances the sweetness. Look for it in 4-packs at stores or you can grab it to go or on draft at the area's DFH brew houses.
Be sure to visit places like Brasserie Beck, The Black Squirrel, Café Belga, Capitol Lounge or Café Berlin for a chance to sit outside and enjoy the beer and sun.
Hopefully, you have found some new beers to try this summer during your upcoming BBQ's, beach vacations, or just lounging on the patio of your house or favorite beer bar. And like I said above, share your favorites in the comment section too.

With four new Fire Emblem titles coming soon, Wednesday's Fire Emblem Direct outlined a bright future for the franchise
Fire Emblem fans rejoice! It has been a long journey, but Wednesday's Fire Emblem Direct confirmed the company's dedication to the franchise. During the 20 minute presentation (video below), Nintendo discussed four new Fire Emblem titles releasing worldwide in the next two years. Three of those titles, Fire Emblem Heroes, Fire Emblem Echoes, and Fire Emblem Warriors will all be released in 2017. In 2018, a Fire Emblem title will be coming to the Switch, the first home-console Fire Emblem game since Radiant Dawn was released for Wii in 2006.
Here's a more in-depth look at each of the titles discussed in Wednesday afternoon's Fire Emblem Direct.
Fire Emblem Heroes (Releasing on iOS and Google Play on February 2)
Fire Emblem Heroes will be Nintendo's third major release on mobile devices, and boy does it look interesting. The game will feature a new story that pits new heroes from The Askran Kingdom against the Emblian Empire. Two new protagonists, brother and sister duo Alfonse and Sharena, fight for the Askr… with a little help. Fire Emblem Heroes allows you to summon heroes from other Fire Emblem games and add them to your army. You can summon classics like Marth, Lucina, Robin and Anna, but also incredibly obscure characters like the mage Nino from Fire Emblem 7. It was never said in the Direct just how many heroes will be included in the game, but some very under-appreciated characters could be found in the trailer.
Traditional Fire Emblem gameplay lives on in Fire Emblem Heroes. Players lead their army against an opposing force in an effort to reach an object. Battle animations like those found on the GBA titles return, and they look great. The characters are a bit chibi in design, but they look extremely cool in my opinion. The catch? Each map is very small, just 8 x 6, so you can clear challenges quickly. These small maps also mean you can only bring four or five troops to each battle. The trailer suggested that the difficulty hardcore fans expect will be there, but that seems unlikely given the map sizes. We'll just have to wait a few weeks to see.
In addition to the story mode, there are three additional game modes: Training Tower, Special Maps and Arena Duels. Special Maps and Arena Duels weren't detailed much. The Special Maps will feature seasonal challenges, while the Arena Duels will focus on earning a high score through winning battles. In the Training Tower, players will be able to train their heroes to increase their power. There will also be "Hero Battles" somewhere in the game that allow players to recruit enemy characters. In the trailer, the swordsman Navarre, from Shadow Dragon, led an enemy army and was recruited over to the player after being defeated.
All in all, the gameplay of Fire Emblem Heroes looked fun, especially for a mobile game. But what got me most excited, aside from the dozens of characters shown, was the artwork. Every character has been redrawn and given a fresh voiceover. The artwork is stunning, and I can't wait to see how these artists reimagined my favorite characters.
The game will be free-to-play as well, which I believe is the right choice for a growing franchise like Fire Emblem. Nintendo could get away with a $10 price tag on Mario Run, even if it wasn't a popular choice, but Fire Emblem is different. The game will offer optional in-game microtransactions that allow players to quickly buy gems used to summon new characters. You can earn these in-game as well, but the trailer did not say how plentiful they were. I know I'll be spending a ton of cash on this, but it will absolutely be worth it to recruit Marth.
Lastly, at the end of the Fire Emblem Direct, Nintendo opened a Fire Emblem Heroes website dedicated to the game that allows players to voice which characters they want in the game. The top male and female vote receivers will have a featured role in Heroes, and also wear a special "Choose your Hero" costume! Vote Marth and Cordelia everyone!
Fire Emblem Heroes releases on February 2nd, just two weeks from today.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (3DS, May 19th)
Now this was a bombshell. I don't think anyone expected a new Fire Emblem 3DS game to be released so soon after Fates. And no one on earth could have predicted the game would be a remake of the 1992 Japan-only Fire Emblem Gaiden! But that's exactly what we're getting this May, only on 3DS. And I couldn't be happier.
Fire Emblem Echoes will follow Alm and Celica, adopted siblings, fighting to save the continent of Valentia. There are two waring kingdoms, Zofia and Rigel, each ruled by a different god. In Zofia, Mila rules the land with excessive love and generosity. Her gifts spoiled her people, causing them to become vain and over-indulgent. Rigel, meanwhile, is ruled by Duma. He believes that humans need to live through nothing but strength. His kingdom is powerful, but the people are cold. It's a fine premise, but I'm very curious to see if they update the game with support conversations that are so critical to the series. Cutscenes will return, and they look even better than the excellent visuals found in Fates and Awakening. It's much more anime-looking, but it gives the game a different feel compared to the previous two Fire Emblem entries. Nintendo is keeping the series's presentation fresh.
Fire Emblem Gaiden has always been looked at as the oddball of the series. It feature dungeons with randomly encountered enemies, town exploration and a traversable overworld map. Some of these features have returned in future installments, but Gaiden's differences are notable. Characters can change classes at will, and enemy encounters result in brief battles in the same grid-based battles the series is known for. It looks like all of that will be returning to Echoes, and I can't wait to test it out. This was the biggest surprise of the Fire Emblem Direct, and its best bit of news in my opinion. Nintendo is recreating a Japanese only entry and introducing it to the west for the first time since Shadow Dragon. That's a loud statement declaring their faith in the Fire Emblem franchise.
And hey, there are two more crazy cool Fire Emblem amiibo figures for you to collect. Both Alm and Celica will be packaged together and released the same day as the game, May 19th. As an avid amiibo collector, these are must buys for me.
Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch/New 3DS, Fall 2017)
During the Switch reveal, Fire Emblem Warriors was briefly teased. There wasn't a whole lot of new information here, but we did get to see Chrom picking up where we last left him. He draws Falchion, where the Switch reveal left off, and proceeds to carve through hordes of Risen. We see him use a super move, complete with the critical strike cut-in from Fates and Awakening, and completely obliterate the enemy army.
The biggest news, however, came when they announced the game for New 3DS as well. Fire Emblem has long made itself at home on 3DS, and Hyrule Warriors released there as well, so this isn't a huge shock. Still, it is very cool to see the game being made as accessible as possible. Hyrule Warriors was pretty huge, and I expect Fire Emblem Warriors will do just as well, especially when released on both the Switch and New 3DS.
Also, that music track playing during the trailer is fire. I cannot wait for this game's soundtrack to be released. My heart rate soared to unreasonable levels during this entire Fire Emblem Direct, but the Fire Emblem Warriors theme was the pinnacle of hype.
Fire Emblem Switch (Switch, 2018)
Sandwiched in between the Echoes and Warriors news was a subtle bomb that got my fellow Nintendo Entertainment Podcast host Todd Black jumping out of his skin. In 2018, for the first time since Radiant Dawn, a Fire Emblem game will be headed to a Nintendo home console. Nothing was shown from the game, as it's still in early development, but we know it's coming. I hope we'll hear more at E3.
As a die-hard Fire Emblem fan, this Fire Emblem Direct could not have been more perfect. The series will be introduced to a mass audience on mobile devices in just two weeks. We'll be getting our second 3DS title in two years in May, and come Fall Warriors will be released. Fire Emblem just keeps on growing, and so long as the quality remains what it's been I can't see that trend ending. Nintendo is betting on Fire Emblem, making it a corner-piece franchise. It's fair to say that Fire Emblem means more to them than Metroid, Star Fox, and perhaps even the Donkey Kong franchise at this point in time. That's insane to acknowledge, especially when you consider that Awakening was supposed to be the series's final entry.
For more Nintendo coverage, stick around The Outerhaven. Our very own Wario Will went hands on with the Nintendo Switch on Friday and wrote about his Switch impressions (he loved it). You can also check out the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast for all your Nintendo needs. We'll be talking about this Fire Emblem Direct and much much more, so stay tuned!

UNM dominated the first day at the New Mexico Invite here in Red River. In the men's race Martin Kaas UNM won his 3rd race of the season followed by his teammate Pierre Niess in second only 5.6 seconds back.
Team Alsgaard unrolled it's new website so that fans and athletes can follow the team's training for the Vasaloppet. Team Alsgaard is made up of Thomas Alsgaard and Anders Myrland. They have opened their training logs so that everyone can see what they are doing every day. Why don't more of us do this in the US?
The University of New Mexico won the overall Utah Invitational in Soldier Hollow today. "Considering all of the illness we have been battling this week, this is a great win," said Lobos head coach Fredrik Landstedt. "One of our top men's racers, Tor-Hakon Hellebostad, did not race all weekend and Polina Ermoshina was struggling with illness all week and still skied." Colorado's Buffaloes were the fastest cross country team for the second weekend in a...
The Norwegian Ski Association signs a new $10.3 million agreement with Aker ASA. Aker ASA is the main sponsor of the Norwegian Ski Association (Norway's USSA) for the 2010/2011 season. The financial assistance will be channeled to the Norwegian National team members and their clubs. Overall the cooperative agreement has a financial value in excess of 10.3 million dollars over four years.
I doubt many fasterskier.com readers are in the area of Norwegian Nationals, but I would personally love to see this seminar.
This season the regional Team Trøndelag has stood forward and marked itself strong on the national level. They have dominated in the Norway Cup and Scandinavian Cup, and at the same time have also raised racers to the level of representing at the U23 World Championships.
After it was discovered that Thomas Alsgaard had registered for Thursday's 15Km at Norwegian Nationals in Stokke, his name has also been heard in the Olympic context. Sports Manager Åge Skinstad knows what the former top skier is good for, after seeing him at the National Team's fall training camps, so he certainly won't exclude the 38-year-old.
The competitive season began today for the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association (RMISA) at the MSU Invite at Bohart Ranch in Montana. After an early lead on Friday, the Colorado Buffs won the nordic portion of the meet with another good day on Saturday.
"I have long been irritated over the great distance between the ski tracks, because it disrupts good weight transfer and kick. If you were to use a narrower stance this would become completely natural," says ski enthusiast Eirik Høyem to (Norwegian TV Network) NRK.
FS Author Nat Herz copied the link to this article during a fasterskier email team-building session today. It is written by a guy that turned himself into a Dope in order to write about it for Outside Magazine.
MOSCOW, Dec 23 (Reuters) - Triple Olympic cross-country skiing champion Julija Tchepalova has received a two-year ban for doping, the Russian cross-country skiing federation (FLGR) said on Wednesday.
After taking my first ski on the local trails yesterday, I quickly remembered how spoiled Anchoraguans are with Kincaid Park. But, a quick look at langrenn.com today offers an even better reminder of how it could be.
Pro North American racing continued today at Silver Star Resort in Vernon, BC. Holly Brooks (APU) won the womens' race just 8 seconds in front of Canadian Dasha Gaiazova. American Rebecca Dussault (CXC/Team Vertical Limit) took the last podium spot in third. On the mens' side Garrot Kuzzy (USST/CXC Team Vertical Limit) finished in first place 50 seconds in front of second place finisher James Southam (APU), with Math Liebsch in third.
It's a frigid Monday morning and the American SuperTour has left the building. The USSA PR department must have forgotten to send Zeus a Christmas card last December, because this tour has seen plenty of uncomfortably cold mountain air in the last twelve months. West Yellowstone was the coldest spot in the country at -30F five nights ago. Yesterday racers warmed up with breathing masks and the races were almost moved from Bohart Ranch back to Lindley in hopes of finding a venue that was above the FIS legal floor of -4F.
James Southam (APU) won yesterday's 15K classic race at Bohart Ranch in Bozeman. Brothers Bryan and Chris Cook, filled the rest of the podium, Bryan in second and Chris in third. It was a cold day out at Bohart. Race organizers were watching the low temps and rumors were circulating late last night about the race being moved within the town of Bozeman to Lindley Park, the venue for yesterday's sprint. Luckily ambient temps stayed manageable, or the day would have been closer to home but also turned today into a gerbil-style front yard distance event.
More action on the SuperTour today at Bohart Ranch in Bozeman. Holly Brooks and James Southam landed convincing victories today in the 10 and 15K classic races. Results and podium shots are shown below, and words from the racers coming later today.
Start lists have been posted for Sunday's distance race at Bohrat Ranch in Bozeman, Montana. Despite rumors that the race may be held at Saturday's sprint venue (Lindley Park), the race is currently scheduled to continue as planned at Bohart Ranch. The women will start at 10am, and men will start at 11am.
Garrott Kuzzy (USST/CXC Team Vertical Limit) made a statement today saying that he is easily the fastest skier on the continental circuit. He skied well ahead of the pack in his heats, saving himself the time to shake out his arms on the corners, and coast across the finish line with ease.
Women ski hard in sprint races. They hit the heats hard out of the gates, and claw and tear themselves above their opponents all the way to the finish. Men tend to play touch and go with each other a little more, but not these women. With them, it's all or nothing.

Latvia > Riga
You will get familiar with the magnificent city of Riga, which stands proudly on the banks of the river Daugava for more than 800 years, however never gets old.
Different kinds and rulers have always regarded this city as the most valuable part of their possessions, however, the city and the citizens have always been too proud to subject fully and all the rulers have granted to the city the privileges to live according to own rules 🙂
The old city counts for only 1/600 part of the whole city, however, in those buildings and narrow streets you can feel the complex history of this small spot of land.
Did you know that this used to be the biggest city in the Swedish kingdom?
Did you know the worlds largest planes were produced here?
Did you know the worlds smallest cameras were produced here as well?
Did you know the inventor of jeans was born here? 🙂
You will hear about these and many other interesting facts and people during the tour and you will also see the impressive architecture of the Old City, which is proudly listed on UNESCO world heritage list.
Hope to see you soon!

Salamina (or Salami) is the largest island in the Saronic Gulf, the closest one to Athens, and is endowed with impressive natural beauty, a magnificent cultural legacy and unique examples of Byzantine architecture.
More than a summer destination, Salamina offers activities and discovery experiences for all tastes, all year round.
From an archaeological point of view, significant discoveries brought to light include the Mycenean Acropolis as well as the Sanctuary of Dionysus. On the island, it is also possible to visit the cave where Euripides is supposed to have written several of his plays.
The cave is located close to the Bay of Peristeria and according to archaeologists it is likely that the tragedy Hyppolytus was composed there. In addition, the island was also the theater of the great Battle of Salamina in 480 BC, a battle that put an end to the Persian attempts to conquer Greece.
It is possible to pay a visit to the Euripideio Theater on Patris Hill, which was built in 1993 and offers a unique view of the bay where the battle was won.
Some of the most beautiful religious buildings on the island include the Monastery of the Panagia Faneromeni. This complex dates back to the 17th century and is home to important religious paintings and icons. Its feast is celebrated on August the 23rd, and it represents one of the most important local celebrations.
While on Salamina, it is also worth paying a visit to the Museum of Folk Art and History. The museum exhibits several objects from the daily life and local history of Salamina. Particularly impressive is the substantial collection of male and female local costumes. The jerkin collection takes the visitors 300 years back in time, helping them reconstruct the past and appreciate the variety as well as the aesthetic perception of the local clothes.
The best beaches of the island can be found on the southern shore. Kanakia, for instance, is a huge pebble beach with crystal-clear waters and a small port. The beach of Peristeria is well known and often chosen by visitors due to the good offer of tavernas and organized beach services in the area. Kaki Vigla is another organized beach worth visiting on the island.
The northern beaches of Salamina have clear waters and many of them have sand mixed with pebbles. Vasilika is a popular beach that appeals to young visitors and boasts intense blue waters.
Every year, the island of Salamina hosts a variety of cultural events. The renowned Salamineia Festival takes place every September and it commemorates the important naval Battle of Salamina.
For more information, visit the official website of the island.

Bardstown pharmacist faces federal charges
Published: Mar. 2, 2013 at 1:26 AM EST|Updated: Mar. 9, 2013 at 1:26 AM EST
LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – The owner of a Nelson County pharmacy could go from the drug store to prison if he is convicted of federal fraud charges.
On February 28, 2012, FBI agents, assisted by Kentucky State Police, executed a search warrant at Crume Drug Store on Flaget Street in Bardstown. It was learned Friday the store's owner, Timothy Sizemore, has been charged with healthcare fraud and wire fraud.
The U. S. Attorney's Office said Sizemore used patients and doctors names to create fake prescriptions and billed Anthem and Medicare Part D for those prescriptions which were never filled.
Sizemore could be sentenced to 30 years in prison if convicted.

Where Eagles Dare is a film that is as old as I am, or I'm as old as it is, or something. I'm using a bit of artistic licence, obviously – I'm only 28 as you know.
This is one of those films that everyone has seen, haven't they? I mean, it even has its own drinking game, courtesy of @almurray (via @littlejason). So it's practically an institution. And I haven't seen it.
So, here we go. Nice Germanic titles – check.
A 'crack squad' who'd never fought before – check.
Unfortunate accident right at the start – check.
Large amount of greenscreen – check.
LOTS of soundtrack with moody strings – check.
Oh this is going to be fun!
Now you may be wondering why you should join me in this – through
a cockup in the purchasing department exceptional good planning we had two copies of it and to be brutally honest I don't really want the one copy we will keep, let alone both of them. So if you want one, shout and I will post it to you.
It really isn't my cup of tea as films go. And I lost interest after about an hour. And even during that bit I was distracted. I did at one point go off and empty the tumble drier, reload it, take a load of washing upstairs, wander down, talk to the dog and the film was still playing and making no sense. I am afraid any film that feels it has show me a particular part is tense by playing violins loses me.
But I get why other people will like it, it's an epic film after all. Maybe I do need to watch it with the drinking game:
Have you watched it? Love it? Hate it? Do leave me a comment below and let me know what you thought of it!

1927. She finished grade school and most of her high school in Clifton -
ultimately graduating from Tucumcari, New Mexico high school. Nancy was
precocious as a child and was intellectually exceptional throughout her
lifetime. She led the life of an eclectic, pursuing a range of personal
interests in arts, drama and a continuing lifelong love of education - amassing
hundreds of hours of university credits. She earned a B.S. degree in Psychology

reading 3 or 4 books a day. She was perhaps best described by her friends as
"cosmopolitan". She had an outstanding alto voice and was a member of
the Bach and Madrigal Society, the St. Stephens choir, Christ Church of the
Ascension choir, Cantemus and several other singing groups. She was a member of
the Cultural Committee of the Governor's Arizona-Mexico Commission. She was the

relations work for most of the organizations she supported. She worked for the
US Air Force Dependents High School in Dreux, France - acting as a teacher of
Speech and Public Speaking, librarian, editor of the school yearbook, and
created a Drama department which presented the first play ever done at the
school. And, she was a continuing "Friend of PBS" Channel 8. Nancy led
a rich and rewarding life. Her many friends will miss her warm and unselfish
contributions to the groups with which she belonged. She is survived by her
brothers, Joe and Charles Granieri, her half-sister Mari Markey, her niece
Candis Wattis and her nephews, Swain, Duane and Charles Granieri. Her husband
John Pierce preceded her in death in 1995. Services for Nancy will be held at

Lennart Adam
It has served as a source of inspiration for legendary authors such as Ernest Hemingway, Charles Bukowski and Oscar Wilde: the bar.
For Lennart Adam, too, the bar is a place full of possibilities. The uncertainty of what interesting, bizarre but also quite normal people he will meet, where an evening will develop, where and when it will end. During these encounters he gains a deep insight into the culture of a country and its people.
Lennart drinks beer with the ¬ex-¬guitarist of AC/DC in Morocco, goes in vain on the search for a glass of W. in Moscow and meets the strange community of immortals on a Greek nudist island.

Welcome to my 'greens' s~A(R)T~urday linky party!
"In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Arrrrgggh! I didn't make it. I tried. I had fun. I…. o.k. slow down. What's happening – or not?
Well, I started a new painting last week. I think I mentioned it in last Saturday's post. And I was certain I'd get it finished. Because two days this week I got home just before six and that gave me an hour or so to be able to paint. Outside. Before it got dark. Then Friday came and everything looked good until – I had to stay later at work to finish stuff before going on a trip and then dropping by the pharmacy on the way home. Meaning it was 6:30 pm before I got home.
I dropped all my bags, got my painting stuff and sat down outside and starting drawing in a few details. But within about half an hour it was getting dark, it had been pretty overcast, so I had to stop. Because I just couldn't see anymore what I was painting. And that is quite obviously no good.
So today, instead of getting out an older piece for my post, I decided to show you the piece I am working on. It is obviously not finished. Hand, butterfly, shirt, background – all need more, it is a work in progress. Since I won't have time for the next couple of weeks, this is going to be it for now. I am very simply calling it
~ greens ~
*** Here is where I link up today. ***
Please help me spread the word about my Saturday Art Linkup and grab my badge below:

"Don't think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art."
[inlinkz_linkup id=565805 mode=1]
Why don't you join me along my journey and follow me on , and if you prefer and see what I come up with next. You can, of course, also subscribe by email – (click) here or you may follow my blog with Bloglovin or my preferred reader Feedly.
Drop me a comment and you'll make me smile!

I know this is really late, but I still wanted to share, because this mysterious love can never get old.
By Paul O. Somiari Some find it in their lover's eyes, Some in their friend's; and others, elsewhere.… They send gifts, they send flowers, Some send a little more than the heart can hold. They tell different stories that connect, All pointing to one rare truth- About the thing they care the deepest. They speak…

Hey, another spoken word!
So this was inspired by my almost impossible choice making habit; Most times we know exactly what we want, we just let ourselves get talked out of it, or get carried away by what others want and then we become confused.
It's your choice, you've got to make it! Focus; if Jesus wasn't, what would have happened to us all?
Hey love,
Hope you're doing great?
Love what you see and would love to be updated?
Just fill in the details and click on the subscribe button.
I'll love to hear from you.
