Western Australia Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Interests Mike Nahan
Bunbury Lights Up For Ancient Indian Festival
Victor P Taffa
Fireworks, fire dances, multicultural performances and Indian food will all feature in Bunbury's Festival of Lights celebrations this Saturday, November 12.
Organised by the South West Indian Group, Diwali symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil and hope over despair.
Citizenship and Multicultural Interests Minister Mike Nahan said Diwali was a global festival that brought people from all communities together to celebrate diversity.
"For Western Australia's 40,000-strong Indian community, it is a time for family and friends to come together in prayer and celebration marked by fireworks, dance and the sharing of food." Dr. Nahan said.
"Diwali is also being celebrated by more and more people from the wider community who are drawn to the festival for its message of harmony and tolerance as well as the excitement of dance displays, music and fireworks."
"The Liberal National Government is proud to support this fantastic family event with funding of $5,000 through the Office of Multicultural Interests' Community Grants Program."
This year's event has a strong multicultural focus and includes Noongar performances with a Bollywood twist.
The festival will feature:
- Duo fire dance performance,
- Classical Indian and fusion Bollywood performances,
- Spanish and Zumba dancers and presentations from local school groups.
Highlights will include the Bunbury City Brass Band, harp and sitar music, and a Noongar art display.
"Diwali is also a time to reflect on the Indian community's long and proud participation in the development of WA." Dr. Nahan said.
"To everyone in WA's Indian community, I wish you a very happy Diwali."
Fact File
- Diwali celebrations run from 4 pm–7.30 pm on Saturday, November 12 at the South West Italian Club.
- 2011 Census data indicated that 20.7% of Bunbury's population were born overseas and 42.5% had one or both parents born overseas

Maybe one of those could be discovering that there is something called the Pac-10 Conference. Okay, maybe a cheap shot on the way out for Packer, who probably won't be real relevant nationally anymore. But I think if you look up "East coast bias" in the dictionary, you'll see his picture. — Andy Katz in his Insider column today writes that UCLA's game at UW Jan. 24 looms as one of the two biggest to watch on UCLA's schedule for the 2008-09 season. "The Huskies seem to be the sleeper team in the Pac-10," Katz writes, "with the return of Jon Brockman in the post and the anticipation that Quincy Pondexter can have a breakout season." One quibble is that Katz writes UCLA's game at UW "could turn out to be a difficult game again." Hard to imagine how the trip to Seattle could be much more difficult for UCLA than it has been the last four years, all wins by the Huskies. — This is a few days old, but the Louisville Courier-Journal has this story on all the rising high school talent in Seattle and how the University of Louisville hopes to get as much of it as it can. The story includes some good updates on the recruiting processes of some of those players. — The New York Daily News has this look at whether the recent decision by Brandon Jennings to spend a year in Europe will become a trend. It includes a quote from Lorenzo Romar saying that he figured some player would try this eventually. — While Katz says UW may be a sleeper in the Pac-10, this writer from Rivals.com says he thinks defensive problems will doom the Huskies to another bottom-tier finish. He says UW "ranked last or near last in the Pac-10 in numerous defensive categories." Technically true, especially if you look at stats for the entire season (UW improved in most of its defensive stats when taking into account only Pac-10 games) But at the risk of nitpicking, I'd say that's a little too simplistic. UW hasn't been the greatest defensive team the last few years and it was a big problem early last season. But in what just about anyone would say is the most relevant defensive category — field goal percentage defense — UW was actually fourth in Pac-10 play at 44.1 percent. Looming as just as big — if not bigger — problems last year were free throw shooting and three-point shooting (the Huskies were ninth ahead of only the offensively woeful Beavers). UW coaches are confident each of those will improve this season with the influx of the three new guards and maturity in other players. The author does have a point about shot-blocking, though that's another area UW was better during Pac-10 play than the entire season, ranking eighth in the conference at 2.11 per game, ahead of Cal and Oregon and not really that far behind WSU (2.67), generally regarded as one of the best defensive teams in the nation, making you wonder how crucial that really is. — Demar DeRozan, whom some say could be the first pick in the NBA Draft next year, has apparently gotten a passing SAT score, making him eligible to play at USC. All for now. Comments | Topics: UCLA

It's so easy to lose track of days when you are retired and may not need to know the date for more than a day. Yes I know it's available on my phone, all receipts, and on and on. But who looks at that? I did my final pollworker training yesterday. They are using a new ipad system. It is really sweet. It worked well in the training. The county clark is an awesome country woman who knows her stuff and has made design changes in the ipad functions to fit the county system.
Caitlin had another horseback class yesterday. This time I put a helmet on her head that I thought would fit better than the one she previously used. She made it clear, without a tantrum, that she wanted it off. I took if off, she put it in the bin, went to another bin, retrieve the helmet she had worn, and put it on her head. I secured it, and she was content. She loves the trotting!
Afterwards i had dinner with Noel and Grant. I brought salad and zuchini fritters. They made Salmon on cedar plank. The salmon was perfect; and melted like butter in the mouth. The salad was great and there was none left over. The fritters were not bad, but not as good as previously. Too much chili flakes, and not enough flour/cornstarch. Or maybe I did not squeeze out enough water from the zuchini. Haven't yet got my cooking mojo back. But I will.
This morning I biked 5 miles on the MKT trail; which links Columbia to the statewide Katy trail along the Missouri River. Following that I had bruch with Kathleen Knepper who was in town for a visit. For those who don't know her, she is a DC friend who moved to DC from Columbia MO to help care for her grandkids. In our conversation, it transpired that she was old friends with my next door neighbor. The neighbor of the fallen tree branch. After several hours chatting, I took her to see my house and we stopped by my neighbor Jim's house. He was not home, so Kathleen left a note. Then we went to visit a friend of hers in the next neighborhood to mine. Her friend Kakie was a trip. Quite a dynamic 80 something. She asked if I was interested in book group. Turns out her book group is the same one my new friend Cheryl belongs to, and Cheryl raised the question of a new member(me). Kakie asked if the new member's name was Suzanne, and Cheryl said how did you know?. The group agreed to a new member, so now I have a new book group of fabulous ladies.
I plan to ask my neighbor Jim, and my neighbor Pam to wine and cheese at my house. They seem like people I would like to know better. So goes the settling in process. I think I will try biscuits today.

It would not be unfair to say that Joe Cross is the forefather of mountain biking in Scott County. That's important because Scott County has emerged as a premiere destination for enthusiasts of one of America's fastest-growing sports, and that is largely because of Cross's tireless efforts.
But that isn't why we chose Cross as the Independent Herald/Scott County Chamber of Commerce 2017 Scott County Person of the Year.
This year saw one of Cross's longtime goals realized when he helped the Boys & Girls Club of the Cumberland Plateau launch a mountain biking program that is introducing many of the club's 800 members to the sport.
The BGC's program, which now includes a pair of mountain bike tracks and a pump track at the club's facilities in south Oneida, was launched after Cross hooked up with an organization that started a similar program at a Boys & Girls Club in Dalton, Ga. Cross and BGCCP CPO Justin Sharpe traveled to Dalton to survey that program, determined it could be implemented locally, and were able to obtain grant funds to get the program started. Top-of-the-line Trek mountain bikes were purchased for BGC members, and Cross called on his old friend Randy Conner — a past president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club who is a professional trail-builder — to design and build the trails at the BGC.
Cross, who was also behind the construction of the multi-use trail at Bear Creek Sports Complex on the other end of Oneida, has long brainstormed ways to get kids involved in mountain-biking. His thought process is this: not every kid wants to play basketball or soccer, but every kid needs to be active.
"What was neat was there were kids out there playing soccer, some playing football and some riding bikes," Cross said as the BGC program launched in October. "I just want to get them moving, whether they're walking or running or even flat-water kayaking. And this is a great place to start."
Now that the program is up and running, Cross is staying in close touch with the Boys & Girls Club, assisting with the program however he can — usually by helping teach kids the proper way to ride mountain bikes.
"He keeps thanking us for the opportunity, but, really, we should be thanking him," Sharpe said. "There probably wouldn't be a mountain bike program at the club without Joe."
Cross remains active in other areas, too. His partnership with the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area dates back to the 1980s, when he first became interested in mountain biking as a way to stay active after jogging became too difficult on his knees. He convinced the BSF to allow mountain biking on some of its trails, and today the 125,000-acre national park is one of the few National Park Service units in America that permit mountain biking. Within the BSF, bikes are allowed on several hiking trails, in addition to most horse trails, and there are three trails that have been built specifically for mountain bikes: Collier Ridge Loop, West Bandy and Duncan Hollow Loop. Together, these trails and two others — the Grand Gap and John Muir hiking trails — have been designated "Epic" by the International Mountain Biking Association. IMBA, the world's foremost organization that promotes mountain biking, reserves its coveted "Epic" status for only a few destinations each year. In 2012, that designation placed Big South Fork on the map. More recently, BSF Superintendent Niki S. Nicholas said that mountain biking is quickly closing in on horseback riding as the park's second-most-popular activity, behind hiking.
Cross continues to work as a volunteer in the BSF, keeping the mountain bike trails clear of fallen trees and other debris. He can often be found in the park after big storms, clearing the trails and making them suitable to ride.
This work is just the start of Cross's involvement within the community. He is also a key advocate of healthier eating and healthier lifestyles in general. As a career pharmacist, Cross is well aware of the chronic health issues that face Scott County, and he strives to raise awareness of these issues — pointing out earlier this year, for example, that Scott County ranks as the state's worst county when it comes to physical inactivity. He has launched a Facebook group — Let's Eat Healthier Scott County — that advocates for healthier eating habits, and he remains active within that group in an effort to promote the cause. On Dec. 20, for example, he pointed out that health professions are now recommending a formula of 5-2-1-0 for healthy kids — five servings of fruits and vegetables, two hours maximum of screen-watching time, one hour of physical activity and zero sugary drinks each day.
Cross's tireless efforts to promote mountain biking and healthier lifestyles are important at a time when a growing number of Americans — both in Scott County and across the nation — are becoming keenly interested in healthier living. For these reasons, Joe Cross is our 2017 Scott County Person of the Year, a recognition that is well-deserved.
Cross will be recognized at the Scott County Chamber of Commerce's Annual Meeting, on Jan. 25, 2017, at the Scott County Senior Citizens Center in Oneida.
— Ben Garrett

About the Person of the Year recognition: The Independent Herald has named a Scott County Person of the Year since 2013, when Amy Martin was selected for her successful efforts to raise more than $150,000 to build an all-inclusive playground at Oneida City Park for special needs children. This year, the Person of the Year recognition is co-presented for the first time by the Independent Herald and the Scott County Chamber of Commerce.

A special LITHOFIN-Product formulated for the professional user. Lithofin MPP is a polishing powder based on oxalates and special additives.
Lithofin MPP Marble Polishing Powder
Lithofin MPP transforms calcium particles in the surface of the stone, making them easy to polish. The polish is renewed and the surface once again has a high gloss finish.
Technical Data:
Apparent Density: 0.9 g/cm³
pH-Value n.a. in Water: < 2
Appearance: powder, white
Odour: pungent
Flash Point: n.a.
Field of Use
For touching up dull patches and for renewing worn off polishes on marble, travertine and other calcium containing
stones such as carrara, thassos, ajax, etc. as well as terrazzo and agglo marble.
Not suitable for granite, quartzite, artificial stone, etc.
Directions for Use
Preparation: The surface to be treated must be clean and free of polymers, acrylates and wax layers. Use Lithofin MN Power-Clean or Lithofin WAX-OFF to thoroughly clean the surface. For touching up small surfaces or patches it is possible to polish by hand. This will only lead to a lower level of gloss; it is preferable to use a polishing machine.
On smaller surfaces we recommend polishing machines with approx. 1000 rpm. For floors, a one disc polishing machine with approx. 140 to 180 rpm, 40 to 50 kg, pressure of approx. 0,37 N/cm² to 0,52 N/cm² is necessary. Always use a white nylon polishing pad. Optimal results can be achieved on surfaces with a 300 to 400 polish. Treat larger surfaces in segments of max. 10 to 15m².
Execution: Wet the surface with plenty of water. Spread a small quantity of Lithofin MPP and immediately start polishing. When the product turns pasty, add some water and continue polishing until the desired gloss level is reached. Then immediately rinse the surface with Lithofin MN Power-Clean diluted 1:10 to 1:20 and remove the solution with a wet and dry vac or cloth. Do not allow any product residues to remain on the surface.
Advice: it may be advisable to wet the surface with Lithofin MN Power-Clean rather than with water. This reduces the risk of matt stains due to splashes on already polished surfaces. On small areas, Lithofin MPP can be mixed with Lithofin MN Power-Clean to form a paste, which is easier to use. Please Note: sensitive surfaces such as wood, parquet, carpets, etc. must be protected against splashes. Some types of stone difficult to polish. Always try the
product in an inconspicuous area prior to use. Deep scratches can not be removed. Coverage: approx. 40m²/kg
Application Temperature: the temperature of the surface should be between 10°C and 25°C. Switch off underfloor
Keep closed and cool.
Shelf life of up to 4 years.
Environmental Protection
Acids are largely neutralized during treatment. Disposal: product residues are classified as special waste. Containers are made of environmentally friendly polyetylene (PE). Clean containers can be recycled through collection system.

We can't just dump the homeless problem on the cops
We leave cops all the dirty jobs the rest of society doesn't want to do. That means dealing with the mentally ill, dealing with teenagers, and dealing with the homeless.
We don't give them resources or training for it, but we figure cops do get paid.
But we do know that there's no point in arresting the homeless. It's very expensive, it can cause actually dangerous people to be squeezed out of jail, and afterwards, there's really no place to release them to. On the other hand, there are things we can't let homeless people – or anybody else – do in public.
Los Angeles has a program called HALO, which refers arrested homeless people to the city's Department of Mental Health. Treatment can range from three months to six months, but at the end of it police might not have to keep arresting the same homeless people over and over again.
Portland police are under a federal court order to improve their treatment of the mentally ill, and there's a considerable overlap between that group and the homeless population. But if we want police to do the job better, we need to give them better tools.
The one thing we've learned about homelessness is that we can't just say it's the cops' problem.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese professor charged in the United States with economic espionage said Chinese scholars and engineers in the United States face discrimination and"absurd" suspicions by the government that they are stealing technologies.
Zhang Hao of Tianjin University told the state-backed Global Times in remarks published on Monday (Oct 12) that the US government had unfairly accused him and other Chinese nationals who work or attend school in the United States of stealing sensitive technology.
Zhang was one of six Chinese nationals charged by the US government in May with economic espionage.
The US authorities said they stole secrets from two companies that develop technology often used in military systems.
"At this time, the US government holds a pervasive, unfair view of ethnic Chinese academics and engineers, always looking at us with the attitude of 'guarding against thieves'," Zhang told the paper.
"They believe that coming to the US to study abroad or engage in scientific research is tantamount to wanting to steal US technology. This is absurd."
Zhang could not immediately be reached for comment.
He told the Global Times he expects to resume teaching and research "after I am cleared".
He was released on bail in July.
The US authorities have repeatedly accused China of backing hackers who steal commercial secrets - a practice that Washington says it does not engage in.
China strongly denies the US accusations, saying it is itself a victim of cyber attacks.
US President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed last month that neither government would knowingly support cyber theft of corporate secrets or business information but stopped short of any promise to refrain from traditional government-to-government cyber spying for intelligence purposes.
US prosecutors have accused Zhang and his partners of stealing source code and designs from Avago Technologies and Skyworks Solutions, and passing them on to Chinese universities and companies.
China's Foreign Ministry said in May that it was strongly concerned about the accusations.

Research topic: Scholarly editing
Scholarly editing involves research into how texts have evolved over time, generally from the oldest known sources to the most recent editions.
Texts are studied with particular reference to changes made by the authors themselves and by later copyists and publishers. These may range from alphabetical and spelling changes to individual words to deletions and additions of sentences, paragraphs and whole chapters.
There are many possible reasons for such changes, including, for example, thorough revisions, corrections of errors and omissions, linguistic modernisation and censorship.
The field of scholarly editing has its roots in the work of philologists at the library in Alexandria in approximately 200 BC. Throughout history, philologists' textual reconstructions and commentaries have influenced the ways in which people have read, understood and disseminated classical literature, religious writings, philosophical texts, laws, Old Norse texts and modern literary works.
Scholarly editing today is a discipline that is important to a range of fields studied at universities and university colleges in the sense that the establishment of reliable texts is completely central to work in the areas of law, history, theology, philosophy and literature.
The study of scholarly editing creates an awareness of how both classical and modern texts change over time. Scholarly editing also teaches us how we can establish reliable texts in accordance with academic standards.

Novant Health Deploys Mobile App to Monitor Behavioral Health Patients and Proactively Provide Support
According to The Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), an estimated "44 million people 18 and over suffer from mental disorders." Further, "major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability among adults". This is a major concern for healthcare providers throughout the United States. As more patients struggle to manage their mental health condition, they are showing up in emergency rooms, where they are finding staff and systems ill equipped to deliver the specialized care that they so desperately need. This missed opportunity not only creates a negative experience for patients but also drives up healthcare expenses for providers.
Novant Health, one of the largest healthcare systems in the country (15 hospitals, 350+ physician practices in NC, SC, VA, & GA), is proactively helping behavioral health patients, reducing readmissions and preventing costly emergency room visits.
In 2013, Novant Health partnered with behavioral analytics company Ginger.io on a successful depression program in a Novant perinatal clinic. In 2014, Novant Health expanded the partnership with Ginger.io to address the unique needs of adult patients with depression by developing a customized care solution for this historically underserved population.
The Ginger.io Behavioral Health Program initially enrolled patients who were already engaged in a partial hospitalization program or an intensive outpatient program at the Forsyth Medical Center. In an effort to complement the standard support groups and therapy 3-5 days a week over a 12-month period, Novant Health offers patients the continuous sensing smartphone. Patients download the smart phone app solution from Ginger.io to "connect the dots" between their behavior and their health and "stay in touch with the care team between visits", according to co-branded patient communications from Novant Health.
The smartphone app actively collects information from the patient about symptoms and medication. Based on the patient's specific behavioral health condition (e.g., depression), she receives personalized questions to gather a specific set of data. The mobile app also passively gathers data in the background on her mobility, social interaction and sleep patterns. The patient's active and passive information is then combined and fed into Ginger.io's analytics engine to identify which patients are in need of intervention and to share that information through an alert with care staff. After receiving a dashboard alert, a licensed mental health professional (e.g. nurse, social worker or case manager) contacts the patient to discuss what is going on in the patient's life based on her responses and behavior—what Ginger.io refers to as a "behavioral signature".
Novant Health is already receiving positive feedback and insights from both clinicians and patients.
"Most innovation in Behavioral Healthcare in the past 20 years has been primarily focused on pharmaceutical development," explains Dr. Todd Clark, Director of Behavioral Health Sciences at Novant Health. "This was necessary for treating patients in the acute phase, but there has only been minor progress related to services detecting mental illness upstream. The Novant Health Innovation Team led by Matt Gymer has created a platform in our healthcare system to leverage the cutting-edge advantage of Ginger.io for our behavioral health population. Ginger.io has revolutionized our ability to connect with patients in real time, even remotely, and allows us to provide patients with the most appropriate and timely care. This not only puts the patient on the most optimal pathway for treatment and recovery, but it also increases the number of treatment options for the patient—rather than the overused default option of the local emergency department. Ginger.io has flexed to meet our system's particular needs, and our patients have expressed a high degree of engagement with the service."
Patients appreciate the opportunity to reflect on their mental state and the proactive contact they receive when experiencing challenges in their day-to-day life.
According to one Novant Health patient, "I look forward to the surveys. For the first time in my life I feel that someone truly cares if I live or not. Someone cares how I feel and helps me work through those feelings. I feel I have purpose in my life again." This is a powerful endorsement from a community in need.
Ginger.io Behavioral Health Program Expansion
Novant Health expanded the program in June to an outpatient drop-in assessment center and mobile crisis unit and then again in September to psych inpatient and psych outpatient clinics. Although these patients come into care during a crisis moment, it is important that they leave with a new tool for ongoing support and empowerment.
Based on qualitative feedback Novant Health from the clinicians and patients using the mobile monitoring solution, care teams have decided to share historical survey responses and behavior patterns with patients through a provider-facing dashboard displaying past data and care alerts. Doctors/Care Managers can share this information with the patient to discuss behavior patterns, life situations, triggers and treatment plans.
Novant Health recently rolled out the Ginger.io technology in their main Psychiatric Clinic in Winston-Salem. Psychiatrists are giving the smartphone app tool to their patients and viewing the dashboard to respond to patients in need. The doctors will also use the information gathered to enrich their conversation with the patient during their office visit.
Novant Health continuously evaluates the value of the program through key quantitative metrics including patient satisfaction and engagement, operational efficiencies and outcomes improvement based on clinically validated measurements such as PHQ-9.
In the future, Novant Health plans to extend the Ginger.io Behavioral Health Program to five other regional hospitals across their health system. The expansion is intended to deliver "a remarkable patient experience," according to Matt Gymer, Corporate Director of Innovation at Novant Health.
Clinicians are interested in expanding the use of the Ginger.io platform to help them identify patients earlier, understand triggers for their symptoms and proactively provide needed support. This important behavioral health initiative aligns closely with Novant Health's ability to innovate solutions to deliver proactive care to patients and customize services.

I spent the last days of 2012 and the dawn of 2013 in frustration. While shut in my home for the winter holidays, I lived like a crazed hermit obsessing over two specific videogames that led to a bizarre schizophrenia of gameplay. One of these games was 2011's Dark Souls, a title that many people love to herald as one of the most gratifying – albeit punishing – games in recent memory. In my naivety, I folded into picking up a copy of the game with the mentality that "it couldn't be that hard!" and was determined to conquer the game. Despite my resolve, I found the arduous struggle of navigating the menacing world of Lordran punishingly severe. Before even completing the first half of the game's minimalist plot (ring two bells!), I concluded that anyone who truly adored this game had to be some kind of flagellant living in a grim medieval world of monastic gloominess.
Suffice to say I cast aside Dark Souls and swapped the game for my second obsession over the winter season: the 2012 reboot for Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I've always been savvy to racing games, so I foolishly mistook this seemingly unassuming title as a joyous reprieve from the oppression of Dark Souls.
I was wrong.
I'm pretty sure my home television set has never had insults launched so vociferously at it in all its life. The relentless power of Most Wanted immediately became clear after roaming freely around the city, crash after frustrating crash. While progressing through the open world of the game's Fairhaven City, I eventually came to a bizarre conclusion that the hostile world of Dark Souls shared a kinship with Criterion Games' Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Both games offer a straightforward focus on their respective gameplay, with the slick presentation of Most Wanted's open road racing and Dark Souls' fairly standard action RPG gameplay signifying a pleasing directness. There's no pretension of any superfluous material, only solid controls in an overall well-constructed package. This package, however, happens to be incredibly frustrating.
I eventually alternated between the two games whenever I grew exasperated by either one, entering into a maddening vicious cycle from sword and shield abuse to flagellation running at 200mph. The experience of playing these two games back to back deals a powerful punch to the senses. In Most Wanted, the aggressively visceral sound design amplifies the thunderous roar of a turbocharged engine in the confined vacuum of a tunnel, transforming even lightweight cars like Porsches and Audis into raging bulls of steel. Coupled with the substantial heaviness of the cars, Most Wanted creates a jarring racing experience where typically weightless NPC traffic becomes a series of moving brick walls. Every single crash has brute force; from the company that delivered the crash-happy Burnout Paradise, this comes as no surprise. Nevertheless, Most Wanted accentuates the sensory experience with a split-second shock of light and color that registers with each disastrous crash. You really do feel the force of the game, especially when Most Wanted forces your car towards an inevitable police roadblock that will demand you to brace yourself for impact, ultimately treating you with the fireworks display of glowing sparks, shattering glass, twisting metal, and the banshee squeal of brakes.
Dark Souls shares this grating exhibition of sensory shock, especially when fighting the game's formidable bosses. The first encounter with the devastating blow of the Taurus Demon in the crumbling stone walkway of the Undead Burg or the infuriating side-swipe of the flaming Bed of Chaos feels as dangerously palpable as any crash in Most Wanted. Succumbing to either Most Wanted's enraging crashes or a health-draining scuffle with a Dark Souls boss are both extraordinarily demoralizing partly because your character (or car) is extremely fragile but mostly because the costs associated with respawning are so unforgiving. In Most Wanted, the respawn system frequently pushes your car from first place to last; this hindrance is especially vexing when the finish line is sitting in plain sight. Dark Souls' system of respawning at the minimally scattered bonfires around Lordran forces you to retrace your steps back to where you died. Since enemies respawn each time you visit a bonfire (excluding bosses), Dark Souls pressures you to diligently fight these enemies once again and reclaim your lost souls (the world's currency).
As I meticulously traversed Lordran and Fairhaven City, I found myself utterly bewildered by these worlds' indeterminate quality. If you go to the Dark Souls wiki, the page even admits that it has no clue what Lordran's history or lore even entails. Both settings embody an eclectic, purgatory-like world where individuals carry out an endless routine of punishment. These are abstract locales where fallen knights lose their marbles and cars zip around empty metropolises. The vague setup the game offers only obscures everything even more, making your gradual descent into hellish locales, crumbling dungeons, and even a featureless void all the more mysterious. In Most Wanted, the game makes no concession for narrative or even a plain raison d'être for the titular "most wanted" racers, instead simply throwing you into an Aston Martin and urging you to jump from car to car mid-pursuit. There's an amusingly absurdist notion of the instability of identity in Most Wanted, with your constant car-hopping throughout the game reflecting the city's own faux veneer of a familiar human city without any human faces (your driver even wears a helmet to mask identity). These two games feature a shared existential crisis at the heart of it all, witnessing your racer or your knight sentenced to endlessly contend for victory in a land stricken with outlandish bosses and obstacles.
One by one, I tracked down each boss in Most Wanted and have reverted to my last pathetic save file in Dark Souls to conquer a whole lot more. These two titles are stressful games that have momentarily found my brain lapsing into a defeatist mentality. I've even considered shelving these titles, but these games have always wound me back in the allure of the gameplay and the beautiful worlds of Lordran and Fairhaven before I could erase them from memory. I've found that nothing is more pleasurable in Dark Souls than emerging out from a grimy dungeon and into a splendid vista, the sunlight piercing through the clouds while a fellow Knight of the Sun basks in something so grossly incandescent. And in Most Wanted, the ecstasy of speeding down a glossy, rain-slicked highway while evading those pesky cops has been my recent joy in gaming. Both Dark Souls and Need for Speed: Most Wanted have burrowed into my memory as an odd couple, but there is true beauty in both of these games. I simply realized that the ceaseless suffering of gameplay eventually ceded to the pleasure of achievement and reward, and that the worlds of Lordran and Fairhaven are not so much purgatory as they are home.

Serenity captures grandeur of bygone era
Marty Hope
Calgary Herald
April 9, 2005
The exterior of the Serenity looks like it might have been pulled from a Hollywood scrapbook circa 1930s.
With acrylic stucco, Stonetile, turrets, patterned concrete courtyard and triple driveway, and full-width second-floor balcony, it has that palatial look synonymous with Tinseltown of that era.
The interior of this $1.7-million show home in Aspen Estates by Custom Homes by Corey is another story.
Company owners Larry and Leslie Stadnick couldn't nail down a look. There is some retro, some modern touches of art deco and some contemporary. One of their suppliers suggested "practical contemporary."
But whatever the look, it's unique and impressive.
In all, the home covers 6,000 square feet with walkout development. It has six bedrooms, six baths, seven television screens, four fireplaces, heated tile floors, and 17 thermostats used to control temperatures in various areas of the home.
"I designed this so that every room would have a feature all its own," says Leslie, who designed the interior. Wherever there are mirrors, most are sculptured, and ceilings are either coffered or have shaped bulkheads and dropped areas.
Natural-stained maple is the flooring of choice, although it is blended with sculptured carpet on the second floor. Cherry is used for the custom-designed furnishings by Bracko Bros. and on all other woodwork. Countertops are in various colours of granite.
Closing the alder front door, visitors are standing in a 19-foot-high foyer with a waterfall feature on one wall. On the other side is a den/office with heavily coffered ceiling behind a pair of French doors.
Next is a powder room and beside that is the formal dining room with step-ladder shelving. back to top
There are no walls to define the kitchen. Food preparation, socializing and snacking is done around a huge semi-circular island that holds a couple of pullout, portable butcher block carts. There is seating easily for six and standing room for just as many around this cherry and glass island that also holds a dishwasher, trash compactor and wine fridge.
At the open end of the semi-circle, a wall with full-height stainless steel backsplash holds the cooktop, microwave, and double ovens and a small sliding hatchway to transfer food and refreshments to and from a butler's pantry. Cherry cabinets hang from the ceiling on stainless steel rods above twin sinks. A horseshoe-shaped bulkhead ceiling traces the shape of the island.
The great room is dominated by a gas fireplace that tapers from floor to ceiling on a window wall. A doorway leads to a future patio. A nook is adjacent to the kitchen island.
Behind the nook wall, a hallway leads to the laundry area, fully outfitted nanny suite and a private entrance.
At the top of the carpeted stairway with maple landings is a large lounge with sculptured carpet inlaid into a maple floor and wrapped with a railing of cherry, glass and aluminum. The lounge is open to the foyer below. back to top
A turreted bedroom to the right has its own bath with stall shower. Across the lounge, two other bedrooms are connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom. Like all baths in the home, this has a cherry vanity with granite top and tile floor.
At the far end of the lounge, beyond a sitting area, a pair of French doors open to the master bedroom and ensuite. The bedroom area has a sitting area, fireplace with TV niche, and doors to the front balcony.
Behind the bedroom is a semi-circular ensuite.
"This whole ensuite is his and hers," says Larry Stadnick. The custom shower has two separate shower towers with separate heat controls. There are two vanities, and two walk-in closets. The bathtub has a waterfall filler and there is a combination bidet/toilet area.
The walkout level has one bedroom, a cardroom area with fireplace, full bath tucked behind the large wet bar, a fitness room with both a mirrored wall and a water wall, and a theatre room with two levels of seating and cabinetry with a celluloid pattern etched into them. The 68-inch screen was created from special paints applied directly onto the wall.
In Short:
BUILDER: Custom Homes by Corey.
DEVELOPER: QuinnCorp Holdings.
AREA: Aspen Estates, in southwest Calgary.

At its Tenth meeting held from 18th to 29th of October 2010, in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, the COP adopted a revised and updated Strategic Plan for Biodiversity, including the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, for the period 2011-2020 (COP decision X/2).
This new plan is the overarching framework on biodiversity, not only for the biodiversity-related conventions, but for the entire United Nations system.
Additionally, in its decision X/10, the COP decided that the fifth national reports, due by 31st of March 2014, should focus on the implementation of the 2011 - 2020 Strategic Plan and progress achieved towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets.
By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment.
By 2015, the multiple anthropogenic pressures on coral reefs, and other vulnerable ecosystems impacted by climate change or ocean acidification are minimized, so as to maintain their integrity and functioning.

E4D Same Day Crowns
Traditional Crown Procedure
Traditionally, getting a dental crown takes two visits. On your first visit, the tooth is prepared. Preparing the tooth involves removing some of the enamel of the affected tooth. This allows your new crown to fit in naturally and comfortably with the rest of your smile. After the tooth is prepared, a mold of your mouth is taken, using impression putty.
The mold is sent to a lab, where the crown is created. It takes up to two weeks for the crown to be made and sent back. You would be provided with a temporary crown while you wait. On your second visit, your crown would be cemented in place.
E4D Technology
The E4D system is a CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) unit that allows us to design and create porcelain crowns. The system consists of a digital scanner (intraoral camera), design software and a milling machine. The system is located right in our office and provides us with the ability to custom create your new crown on-site. Rather than having to wait two weeks for your new crown to be made, it is available for you the same day. Your wait period and the need for a temporary crown are eliminated.
How E4D Works
The E4D system takes over your crown process after your tooth is prepared. The intraoral camera is used to obtain a three-dimensional scan of the inside of your mouth, eliminating the need for traditional impression putty. The scan takes only minutes and is displayed almost immediately on our computer monitor.
Next, we use the design software to create your new crown. With the impression, the software allows us to design one that will fit perfectly in your mouth. We can also select finishes for your crown so that it blends in with your natural teeth.
Once your crown is designed, the information is then transferred to the milling unit. Your crown is milled to the exact specifications of the design. When it is finished, it can then be cemented in place. You leave the same day with a beautiful, fully-functional crown.
Benefits of Same Day Crowns
There are several benefits to same day crowns:
If you have a damaged tooth, a crown can restore the tooth, provide it with strength, and protect it from infection.

text: One of my favorite places in Arkansas is one that is close to home. Lake Sylvia is but a mere 35 miles from the Little Rock area and an easy drive out Hwy 10 when the urge hits me. I drove there one cool morning in January and walked around the lake and enjoyed the solitude. This recreation area is usually busy in warmer months so this time of year it's quiet and peaceful.

1st November 2016
Uber Verdict
Friday's ruling in the Uber tribunal is going to have consequences that self-employed people are going to affect the way we engage our workers and how we are engaged by our customers. Most of all it is a boost for all of us who want a fairer jobs market – and a slapping down for businesses who feel they can deny the most basic rights of workers: no minimum wage, no sick pay, no paid holiday.
Tribunal Judge Anthony Snelson agreed that clarification was wrong and unfair, and my view is that the notion that Uber is mosaic of 40,000 small businesses linked by a common platform is for the birds. As is the claim that Uber assists their drivers to grow their businesses – no driver is in any position to do anything of the kind, unless growing his business simply means spending more hours at the wheel. The drivers work for Uber - not the other way round.
For the likes of Uber, Hermes, Sports Direct & Deliveroo self-employment is hugely profitable - it means they can grow their business and keep adding workers for next to nothing, whilst squeezing out the competition and making no contribution in taxes to the countries whose workers they exploit. The market value of Uber is now higher than that of General Motors. With no minimum wage protection their workers earn less than someone doing an equivalent job did in 1992 – which is the year that I left school! One client we represent earned £14 (after Uber's 20% commission) for taking 4 passengers from Hamble to Southampton airport at 6am on a Sunday morning….
Things to consider:
1). Look at the relationship you have with your customers. If you are doing most of your work on an ongoing basis under their direct control and earning less than £7.20 gross profit per hour, then you may want to ask them to review this situation.
2). Review the situation with the workers that you engage. If you are consistently paying the same people to do work for you on a self-employed basis then you may want to talk to us about setting them up on a proper payroll scheme.
3). Take on staff. The quickest way that we see client's growing their business is in the time immediately after they take on their first employee. There are so many Government incentives offered at the moment for businesses willing to do so – the £3k annual Employer's Allowance is particularly good as it effectively means that you could take on up to 4 employees and it will cost you nothing in additional payroll taxes, and reduce your business taxes by £11k per year, making the net cost of hiring someone at £18k per year around £12k.
4). There are other incentives for taking on apprentices that cover all their training costs – and personally speaking I find that being able to give young people their first job to be incredibly rewarding. Congratulations to my colleague Lucia Eve who becomes the third employee to complete her chartered accountancy exams whilst working for me and is now licensed to kill – or sign off accounts at the very least.
As always we are here to help and I am always pleased to hear from clients who are interested in discussing their ideas further.Back to news

Six U.S. military vessels have had the name "North Carolina," including the one that now sits in the Cape Fear River.
1. Built to become the new hope for a young navy, the first United States ship named North Carolina was launched in 1820. The North Carolina not only was the flagship of a fleet, it was a warship and an ambassador for a new nation.
2. Some people don't count the ironclad North Carolina when making a list of navy ships that bore the name. It wasn't a United States ship. It was a Confederate States ship built just across the river from downtown Wilmington.
3. On Nov. 5, 1915, the armored cruiser USS North Carolina (CA-12) became the first ship to launch a plane while under way. The work performed on that North Carolina proved that "aeronautic ships" could carry and catapult planes at sea, a tactic that lasted well through World War II.
4. Just after the first World War, according to the Battleship North Carolina Memorial, Congress approved construction of six battleships. The North Carolina's keel was laid in 1920. And then President Warren G. Harding signed a treaty that required it be scrapped.
5. The battleship BB 55 is our state's memorial to its World War II veterans of all branches of the military.
6. The Navy announced Dec. 11, 2000, that the fourth Virginia class nuclear fast attack submarine would be the first U.S. ship to bear the name North Carolina since the battleship was decommissioned in 1947.

A Child's Cry in an Adult Body
by Elouise
Don't try to correct me
Just listen
Don't tell me 'the facts'
Just listen
Don't interrogate, remind or debate me
Just listen
Without judgment
Without interrupting
Without that look on your face
That's already made up its mind about me
Listen to me
Get inside my skin
My heart
My feelings
My words that struggle to find a way—
Any way to help you hear me
Feel with me
Speak with me
and for me
Not against me
I wonder
Is it time to write a new song?
What didn't work then
probably isn't working now
because it's all worn out.
I don't have forever.
* * *
When I woke up today, this plea was on my mind. I'd been thinking about The Gift of Time, and the reality that I won't have that gift forever. Not in this lifetime.
My communication patterns have changed over the years, thankfully for the better. Even so, this child's plea still kicks in when I'm talking about things that matter, and my conversation partner doesn't agree with me.
It doesn't take long to get my back up and escalate my distress to new heights. Whatever I hoped to gain from an empathetic listener probably isn't going to happen. Not now.
So I'm thinking I need to rewrite the script. Not just the script that comes out of my mouth, but the script running in my head. Instead of a broken record, I want a new song. A different approach–especially when it feels like a high-stakes conversation.
I don't know what the new song will be. I do, however, know what I'm after. I want to be heard and accepted as I am. It almost (!) doesn't matter whether I'm right or wrong.
One more thing. Ironically, I think this new song or approach will turn out to be simple. So simple I'll wonder why I never thought of it before!

I'm going to ignore the fact that I've been away and go right into the blog part.
A friend of mine shared this article yesterday How to Talk to Little Girls.
If this were part of an article in a parenting magazine, it would fall under the heading "Common Mistakes Parents Make and How to Avoid Them." Parents complain a lot about what society/media bombards our children with. Photoshopped images, damsels in distress, and 6′ women in a push up bra carrying giant, 80lb angel wings while walking in stilettos as the absolute height of perfection. It does pretty much come from everywhere.
But the sneakiest, most invasive brain washing is coming from us. I am not discounting the media's impact. But we teach little girls through the way we talk to them. We teach them by watching our own weight and trying to attain exactly what we say we don't want for our kids. We teach them by complementing their looks and placing value in it. Sure, as parents we need to boost confidence; we can't ignore what is going on around us. But there is a fine line between "You are a beautiful young woman who is valued in our society for your talent and insight" and "Society values you because you are beautiful."
But I don't have girls. I have boys.
I have a responsibility, too. It's up to Jeff and I to teach our boys that we value women (and men) because of who they are and not how they look, that a girl's looks does not equal their worth.
I'll be the first to announce that I have already failed. Or rather, I have made the first step in teaching my 5 year old that we judge a person's value based on their looks. Max was in a talkative mood (when is he not?) and he was eating cereal and telling me all the gossip from his kindergarten class (apparently P asked L if J was her boyfriend and L said yes!) I asked him who the smartest person was in class and he said K. A little while later he mentioned a little girl in class and there was something really cute about the way he said her name and I asked him he thought she was pretty. He said totally nonchalant "yeah she's pretty, she's a girl."
I didn't ask if she was nice, or if she was smart like K, my first (and only) question about the little girl was whether or not Max thought she was pretty. And this, is step one in sneaky, unintentional, "pretty is better" brainwashing. It came out of my mouth before I even thought about it. Things so small, they seem like they don't matter. The very first conversation about-who-is-who's boyfriend in kindergarten (oh, and for an update, J totally didn't want a girlfriend, because girlfriends are gross. So S is now L's boyfriend. S is ok with that.)
So, while I'm not about to beat myself up over it, I have some things I've already started that I need to undo. I'm thankful that my friend passed this article on. I probably would have a lot more to undo if she hadn't.

Donuts and a Grumpy Deacon
I don't want to overwhelm you with the theology of fasting. It is sufficient to remind you that scripture says, "When You Fast, NOT If You Fast."
In my short video I'll talk about 2 dozen donuts, a grumpy deacon and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
CLICK BELOW for the short video on FASTING.
The Video's Points:
- Everyone can fast (confirm with your doctor first).
- Consider your length of fast.
- Watch as you become more sensitized to the Holy Spirit.
Not all of you are comfortable fasting. That's completely understandable.
I remember a pastor telling me he couldn't fast when I invited him to a "fasting-luncheon."
He responded, "Oh, no, no, no. I have to eat!" And then he looked at the words that snuck out of his mouth and spent the next 30 minutes trying to reel them back in.
Too late! He's a sermon illustration!
Try fasting, you'll like it. You will, I promise.
