Adventures in Jiufen 九份
Jiufen is the famous, magical little town known for being Miyazaki's inspiration for 'Spirited Away.' Being in this town, even in a torrential down-pour, couldn't sadden the most-deflated of hearts. It's such a happy, quirky little place. As the bus crawled up the country cliffs, and Jiufen came into view, I was awestruck. It's quite literally perched on the edge of a cliff, and it winds down and almost juts out of the side. There was one giant mountain covered in mystical mist that I would have loved to climb if it hasn't been so rainy. What a glorious, whimsical place…
You can't go to Jiufen and NOT have tea. It's essential.
These faces were stuck onto the wall of the primary school.
Taro ice-cream and shaved peanuts= Jiufen burrito…why have we never put ice-cream inside a tortilla wrap before? Delicious!!
Having a little snack break at one of the many Taro houses.
Look at these alleys, winding and cobbled and cute.
I absolutely loved this sign above a little craft store.
Double happiness!!
I felt like I'd just stepped straight into Spirited Away…look at that ocean…
Alternatively, I could be in a Murakami story…
Oh, hazy waves and misty days, hello!
Our tea menu- quirky!
Can't get enough of the lantern love!
A time-less town.
Now, if only I could ride back to Taipei on this guy…In a Murakami novel I totally could…
Do yourself a favour and come to Taiwan and go to Jiufen. It'll honestly lighten your heart and you'll feel so free roaming those winding streets. And I'll come with you!

Winnipeg, MB - Winnipeg acoustic folk singer-songwriter Raine Hamilton will be hitting the road this fall with a string of Eastern Canadian Tour Dates starting in Waterloo on October 15. See below for full tour listings. The upcoming tour is in support of Raine's debut album Past Your Past but she is also looking towards the future with the release of a new song entitled 'Robin Hood' which will be included on her sophomore album set for release in 2017. Check out the exclusive premiere of the 'Robin Hood' live performance video on Grayowl Point.
Raine Hamilton is part prairie songstress, part storyweaver; each song has a story, delivered between songs with humour and grace. Think Joni Mitchell meets Tina Fey. Raine invites her love of the violin into the singer-songwriter genre, writing for violin and voice, as well as for guitar and voice. Raine performs resonant, acoustic folk with an other-worldly edge, and a lyric presence that cuts deep. Prism-clear vocals and strings; a combination of vocal agility and power.
Raine Hamilton's well received debut album Past Your Past was released in 2015 and since its release she has been playing live at venues, festivals and homes all across Canada, gaining plenty of fans along the way. She is currently working on her second release with acclaimed Winnipeg producer Lloyd Peterson. The new album will include the track 'Robin Hood', a song that Raine's been performing live for a while now. The idea for 'Robin Hood' comes from Raine's past.
"The harmony and style of this song are influenced by my background as a medieval musicologist," explains Raine. "I have a masters' degree in medieval musicology from the University of Ottawa. I wrote a thesis that exists on the internet. Someone ordered a hard copy of it once, evidenced by a 12 cent royalty cheque that came in the mail one day. I love medieval music for its otherworldliness, for its harmonies and crunches, for its treatment of time and metre."
Look for Raine Hamilton on tour in Ontario and Quebec this fall, starting in Waterloo on October 15th. Please visit rainehamilton.com for more information and the most up to date tour listings.

"Past Your Past is a carefully crafted folk album that is gracefully familiar, and like Joni Mitchell's Blue, you'll want to listen to it over and over...Please, sit on your porch with your eyes closed and listen to this gem." - Stylus Magazine
"I was stunned to hear something as clear and delicate as her voice ring out—commanding attention with its sensitive, open approach… with a rich musical history at play in her creation, there's plenty of promise to be teased out of such a short entrance." - Gray Owl Point

This Essay examines the possible effect the Supreme Court's landmark Second Amendment ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller will have on future cases brought under the Free Press Clause. Based on the text and history of the Constitution, the connection between the two Clauses is undeniable, as the Heller Court itself repeatedly suggested. Only two provisions in the entire Constitution protect individual rights to a technology: the Second Amendment's right to bear "arms" and the Free Press Clause's right to the freedom of the "press," meaning the printing press. Both rights were viewed, moreover, as preexisting, natural rights to the Framing generation and were separately called the "palladium of liberty" during the Framing. The development of both concepts traces back to the abuses of the Crown in disarming the populace and restricting the printing press in England. During the 17th century, the people in England were often deprived of both technologies—in the case of the printing press, by the copyright holders of the period known as the Stationers' Company, which conducted warrantless searches to seize unauthorized presses with the backing of the Crown. The Bill of Rights was enacted to stop these abuses in the new Republic. While the Second Amendment protects the people's right to arms and the Free Press Clause their right to the freedom of the press, both clauses developed in direct reaction to the perceived threat of government restrictions on the respective technologies. Given this historical connection, courts should apply an approach similar to the one in Heller in interpreting the Free Press Clause. Just as the Heller Court held that banning handguns for the purpose of gun control violates the Second Amendment's core protection of the right to possess arms for self-defense, courts should find that banning speech technologies for the purpose of copyright control violates the Free Press Clause's core protection of the right to speech technologies for self-expression.
- right to bear arms,
- freedom of the press,
- copyright,
- Second Amendment,
- First Amendment,
- constitutional law,
- originalism

Neil Almond established iTEXS using his years of IT Support and management experience. His aim was to provide businesses with the same level of computer support to that found in large corporations, with a personal service.
In two years, iTEXS had become a well-
As iTEXS continued to grow, larger premises and more people were needed so the headquarters moved to Copley Hill Business Park. Two engineers were recruited and telecoms services now increase the range of iTEXS services.
iTEXS continues to flourish and is attracting more clients while maintaining the original mission of the company: to provide an affordable, personal service to businesses, whatever their size, with no compromise.
Now with four frontline engineers and being a familiar name around Cambridge, iTEXS has continued to expand both its client base and the range of computer services it offers. The focus is always on getting things right first time.
With IT continuing to expand iTEXS now offers Cloud Solutions as well as a Pre-
With Computer Cabling forming an increasing part of iTEXS's services, we now provide a turnkey service for office moves and refurbishments, with all the backup of the IT services still in place.
Having taken on more office space to accommodate the the growth of the business, and expanded into fibre optic cabling, iTEXS still prides itself on servicing many clients that joined us during our first year.
iTEXS was established in July 2002 with the aim of providing computer services to companies in the Cambs, Essex, Suffolk & Herts area.
Since then we have established a reputation for delivering high quality computer services to many companies in and around the region.
We pride ourselves on our very high client retention rate, because we know that you will only stay with someone who meets your computing needs completely.
We offer our services as either an ongoing support contract (typically for larger companies) a Pre-
But in all cases we pride ourselves on the quality of our services, and our IT Support is designed to meet your needs not ours, the length of time that clients stay with us will hopefully give you the confidence to get in touch and talk to us.
"I would like to thank you for helping us with the laptop/desktop replacement project. Matt helped with over 110 machine swaps which required communication with the users, technical support and flexibility. We were impressed with Matt's efficiency as well as his technical and personal skills."
Margaret Kreminska, Cancer Research UK
"I wanted to just say thank you for all of the computer support you have given me as you are always so reliable and fix everything.
Some people still don't realise that the service provided by a good IT support company is invaluable as it keeps the wheels turning, thank you. You're are all so approachable and made it seem more like I was ringing a friend for help."
Jo Darville, Malary
"Their work has been truly outstanding throughout the 4 years I have worked with them. I have never worked with such a pleasant, extremely efficient, customer focused IT support company in 22 years of work.
Their staff are consistently excellent throughout the company."
John O'Shea, Grand Arcade
"We are very pleased we chose iTEXS over other computer support companies we considered.
The results have been excellent, from hand holding for users through to multi-
David Land, Cambashi
"The support iTEXS offers us is second to none. We switched to iTEXS over 9 years ago and totally rely on their advice and IT support when it comes to technology.
It is a pleasure working with them and I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, cost effective and professional IT support company in Cambridge."
Jane Frost (Director of Operations), Hotelres
"Thank you to Ollie and Nathan for all their help on Friday, I was very impressed with the level of service that was provided throughout our office move. I really appreciate the dedication and efforts they both went to, to ensure our business would not be disrupted on Monday morning. Both are a credit to iTEXS!"
Sarah Flack, Ann Pettengell
"The difference between iTEXS and our last people is that you all know what you are doing; you understand the workings of programmes and computers. I cannot think there can be many, if any, support teams that could have pulled this off.
Thank you again."
Quentin Jarvis (Director), Peter Jarvis Developments
"iTEXS are always so willing to help. Trying to get our small Cambridge company ISO27001 certified is very in-
Lene Farmer (Information Security Manager), Check4Cancer Ltd
"iTEXS have been a great support to us. It is nice to have an IT company who is extremely approachable and reliable.
All the staff are very knowledgeable. Whether they are logging in remotely or actually coming into the Cambridge office nothing you ask is too much trouble."
Lauren Speller (Office Manager), Qualitape.
"iTEXS have looked after my small business (Cats Eye Consulting in Cambridge) since we started in 2004. The service and level of support have been so good that we have never felt the need to move away. Indeed during 2013 we moved all of our email and domain hosting over to them as well. For me as a small business, it's their turn of speed that really helps me. Can't rate them highly enough!"
Jim Lucraft, Cats Eye Consulting
"I would like to thank you for the excellent service to our Cambridge office. You assessed my needs and existing set up, gave me a quote – which I immediately accepted – and two days later duly appeared at my office with 6 new monitors. These were sensibly set up in pairs on desks so that everyone had 2 monitors in front of them which looked the same."
Richard Brookes, Tax Assist Accountants
"A massive thank you for coming to our rescue today, as usual you were all calm and helpful. Can I say particularly how great Ollie is! He spoke to one of our service providers and was very patient and polite and then just got on with the job!"
Jane Frost -
"Thanks so much. I can't help but be impressed with your professionalism and attentiveness. Everything has been set up perfectly in our new Cambridge office. I have joined workstations to domain now and finished the setup. Wow, that was fast :-

Lasagna, a favourite with my family. I'm a great advocate for fresh ingredients so I use fresh basil whenever possible as well I grate parmigiano reggiano instead of the pre-grated stuff sold off the shelf. My favourite thing to do is make the lasagna noodles from scratch as opposed to buying boxed pasta.
- 1 lb. (500 g) lean ground beef
- 2 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella, divided in two
- 2 cups ricotta cheese (can substitute cottage cheese)
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan, divided in two
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 egg
- 1 jar (700 ml) pasta sauce
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 12 lasagna noodles, uncooked
- Preheat oven to 350F. Brown meat in large skillet on medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, mix 1 1/4 cups of the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the basil and egg until well blended; set aside.
- Drain meat; return to skillet. Stir in pasta sauce. Pour water into empty sauce jar; cover and shake well. Add to skillet; stir until well blended. Adding water to the sauce helps cook traditional noodles during baking, so you don't have to cook them beforehand. This saves you 15 to 20 min. of prep time.
- Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce onto the bottom of 13×9-inch baking dish; top with a layer of 3 uncooked lasagna noodles. Noodles will expand to fit the dish during baking.
- Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup of the meat sauce over noodles. Repeat layers two more times. Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining meat sauce.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/4 cups mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesean cheese. Cover tightly with greased foil. Bake 1 hour. Remove foil; continue baking 15 min. or until heated through. Let stand 15 min. before cutting to serve.
Makes 12 servings.

Castelli Signs Gudex
Castelli recently added a trio of powerful marketing tools - a graphic and fashion designer, professional cyclist, and a stunningly photogenic model. Luckily for Castelli, all the talent is wrapped up in one person: Australian mountain bike racer Niki Gudex.
Australian Pro MTB Racer is a Woman of Many Talents
Her sporting prowess, striking looks, vision, professionalism and worldwide popularity make her the ideal representative for Castelli. Racing for Castelli, Gudex will also contribute to the scorpion's marketing effort as an apparel designer and model. Not many athletes can design their gear and show it off, too.
"Niki is an authentic athlete and designer and model, and her international fame has attracted cover shots and feature stories, including front covers on a wide range of magazines," explained Sören Jensen of Castelli. "Having her on our team is a tremendous plus, and we look forward to having Niki representing Castelli."

Wow! What a special night. It's always great when you prepare and plan and then all of the variables that you had no control over make the night spectacular. Just in time the weather turned from overcast and stormy to cool with a beautifully painted night sky as our backdrop. We had a mixture of old volunteers/supporters and new people who were hearing about HFO for the first time. Our students and their parents did a wonderful job of preparing and serving dinner and the Adventure Crew was there to lead us in song.
These events always cause me to reflect and take in how special these experiences have been. Its amazing to think of all that has taken place in the last year! Its usually then that I find myself able to look forward with courage and excitement, and pray a bigger prayer for this next year!
Special thanks to everyone who made this night possible. If you were unable to attend and are interested in how to get involved please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Blessings, Loren

Do you like my post title ? It's pretty catchy isn't it ? and it rhymes too! Basically this outfit is heavily inspired by Blair Waldorf or Queen B from Gossip girl. I'm a huge huge huge fan of her, the show, their fashion everything! I basically fangirl every time I meet someone who is into the show just as much as I am! If you guys don't know Blair then I suggest you go watch the show.. like right now!
Seriously Blair has impeccably style and it makes me want to copy almost every outfit (without losing my own sense of style of course).
Not exactly the Met steps in New York but hey, I tried
What I really love about this dress is that it's really versatile. You could but a bandeau under it for more of a summer-y look or a tank top, crop top, shirts, lots of options!
Here I went for that school girl type look with a white blouse. Then I realized it looked a bit plain so then I used a ribbon from a different shirt I had and tied it into a tie and just tucked it in and voila!
The headband was the most blair inspired since she actually did wear a yellow headband with a navy school girl type of outfit in the show and pairing the outfit with a red bag to top it off.. well I didn't wanna look too red white and blue you know ? So I thew in a dark green bag to go with it !
Hope you guys are having a wonderful summer ! Comments always make me happy (even if I don't always reply, sorry! I'm working on that) so comment comment comment and send me emails too! I would love to make blogger friends or just meet fashion or Gossip Girl fans! (:

You Are Here
A friend of mine asked me today why I needed love in my life, and what that love would look like for me currently as a mature woman. I knew the answer right away, and some of the reasons remain the same, but it also made me think of the fluidity of life, growth, change, and how our needs and desire for love change as we change.
Allowing myself to become introspective about the whole topic made me realize that my approach to love has also changed; I think mostly because I have challenged loves boundaries, I have fought with its inconsistencies, I have grown to understand and love myself, and that has translated into a more compassionate love for humanity and life itself.
There is always this "search" for love, but much like happiness, it resides within ourselves. That is the most important love, the love that is most paramount in allowing you to savour a reciprocal love one day.
We all have different reasons for needing love in our lives. I think if we were all honest about the answer to that question maybe we would be more thoughtful about our choices and wouldn't be so quick to fall into it.
Monday morning ponderings.

I'm looking for advice on what to replace my phone with I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) which I bought new in July, 2014. the problem being it will sporadically restart itself and sometime the camera will just lock the phone up mid picture. Today it shutoff 4 times for no reason, I had to boot it in safe mode and uninstalled some apps so that it will stay on, the memory was full, and it's usually running most of the available RAM. Elsewise it's mechanically perfect because I take good care of my phone there's not a scratch on it.
What I like about the S5
The camera: At 16mp it takes great pictures usually I run without the flash, the image stabilization works its magic to take a nice clear picture. If the flashes is ON it will take detailed macro shots.
IP67 rated waterproof: This has saved me more then once, like when I was out in the rain for hours the pulled my phone out of the pocket of my raincoat which was soaked through, and the phone still worked perfectly.
Fingerprint Sensor: Secure AND quick to unlock.
It's Blue: I like that it looks different then every other Black, Silver, White Slab out there. Really any color would be nice.
Screen size: 5.1" is a good size for my hands, no less then this, but I could go a little bigger.
Big Battery: it has a 2800mAh removable battery It will easily last me 2 days of heavy use.
Additionally any new phone would also have to have Bluetooth for hands-free calling and music streaming to my truck. Wifi AC.
I plan on buying the new phone outright budget is $600 Cdn but the budget does have flex room. I'll be running it on a Prepaid plan on Sasktel 4G LTE network.
I was thinking of replacing it with a because I liked the Galaxy S5 so much I was thinking of replacing it with a Samsung Galaxy S7 but that's proving hard to find NEW and unlocked.
So I would like to hear any suggestions you might have.
P.S. I plan on keeping the S5 around to play with maybe installing a custom ROM and other stuff if you want to suggest something as to that, I'll hear that to.
and Thanks in advance!
Edit: Sasktel website this is what it needs for compatibility
(it must be HSPA/UMTS and operate in the 850MHz and 1900MHZ frequency bands)
Thank you all for you help. I ordered a OnePlus 6 Red. I should arrive next week.

In the northern hemisphere, it is harvest season and the fall foliage will peak in wine country at some point during the month. October is a prime month for wine tourism whether you are flying to a distant region or visiting a local winery. Also this month Wine Tourist Magazine is reporting on a range of old and new world regions.
Our coverage of the old world begins with a look at Italy's Emilia-Romagna region by Cindy Swain. A pair of new writers is joining us. Madelena Vidigal has contributed to our #winetourist community page more than once, but she is now joining us with a feature article. Madelena reports in from Portugal's lesser-known Alentejo wine region. From there we head north to France. We are all familiar with the excellent sparkling wine, but Matthias Collard introduces us to the Champagne region.
Among our new world coverage, Paula Theotonio joins us for the first time to tell us about a region of Brazil that is slightly off the grid. The São Francisco Valley is literally the hottest wine region on earth and a place that Paula is passionate about. In North America Matt Weiland is back this month to deliver insights into inoculation programs at some of the most progressive wineries in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Finally we take you to California where Allison Levine tells us about some of the wine venues in Carmel and shows us around the Stags Leap District in Napa. We are also happy to offer a review of Craig and Kathryn Hall's new book A Perfect Score about their journey to a 100-point Parker score for one of their Napa wines.
Of course there is more. Kristy Wenz submitted a recipe for a hearty Portuguese feijoada and insightful context for the October installment of her World Platter column.

7D Mark II Video Test, How Does It Compare To 5D MkIII and 70D?
One of the big disappointments from Canon's 7D Mark II announcement earlier this week was the appearance of fairly little in the way of video improvements or feature upgrades. Many have written off the 7D as a video camera, but how does it compare to Canon's current crop of DSLRs like the 5D Mark III and 70D?
Gizmodo recently did a quick and dirty test between the three cameras. First, in just a basic scene, and then, in an ISO ramp up to see how the camera performed for video at high ISO. You can see the video for yourself below:
I watched this a few times now, and from what I can see, the 7D Mark II performs much better than the Canon 70D. In the opening scene shot, you can see moire in the 70D footage, but there is none in the 7D Mark II or Canon 5D Mark III footage. Sadly, it does not appear as though the sensor has much, if any, improvement in dynamic range over the 70D.
As far as ISO performance, the 7D Mark II looked pretty clean to me up through 6400, and then degraded pretty quickly, though still usable in a pinch, at 12800. The 70D however, was bad after 3200, so an improvement there as well. It will be interesting to see if those ISO improvement translate over well into the stills, as that will be a great update for the 7D Mark II over the original 7D, which was pretty poor over 1600 ISO (in my opinion).
What are your thoughts on this video comparison? Does this change your opinion on the 7D Mark II announcement at all from a video perspective? Leave a comment below!

AngloGold says Ghana troops need to protect Obuasi after attack
AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. asked Ghana to redeploy troops at its Obuasi mine after an employee died in an attack by hundreds of illegal miners on the facility last week.
The military withdrew from Obuasi on Feb. 2 following several attacks at the site on Jan. 30 and Jan. 31, the Johannesburg-based company said in an e-mailed statement on Tuesday. Days later, hundreds of illegal miners stormed the mine about 260 kilometers (161 miles) northwest of the capital, Accra, killing a staff member.
"The onus for ensuring safety and security of individuals and property in any country, and therefore restoring safety and security to the site, lies with the authorities," the company said.
AngloGold fired workers and put the mine on limited operations last year as costs soared and the price of bullion fell. The company needs to boost investment to gain access to the mine's estimated 5.3 million ounces of gold deposits. Talks with Randgold Resources Ltd. to develop the site together fell apart in December.

Irek Wojtczak - saxophone
Jebał Was pies (Sopocka Odessa Records, 2010)
In 2009 trio Michał Goś (drums), Irek Wojtczak (saxophone) and Wojtek Mazolewski (double bass) recorded "Freeyo" (read post about this album to learn more about musicians), an excellent piece of free and improvised jazz, which was warmly received throughout Poland. Big chunk of interest from media as well as from public it owed to the presence of Wojtek Mazolewski who is one of the stars of Polish avantgarde music (check for example his latest "Monster Of Jazz" or "Smells Like Tape Spirit").
This CD looks like continuation of that project in duo format and though at least satisfactory in artistic terms it revealed to be disaster from commercial point of view. The reason is Wojtek Mazolewski withdrawal as well as title of this album which may be translated "Fuck You Dogs". It was very naive on artists' side to believe that album with such a title would be warmly received by distributors and shops. And it wasn't! Few months after its premiere in Autumn 2010 musicians announced that they managed to sell all 12 copies. I believe that their only consolation is that in that way they probably established new record worthy to be put among Guinness records.
In my opinion it is however great pity since music on this album deserves attention: spacious, deep, creative, it brings to its listener engaging dialogues between two very talented musicians. I look forward to their next projects hoping that next time they will show more professionalism in planning marketing side of their undertakings.

I discover myself answering this question on a normal foundation, so I determined to share my mind on the problem. The solution is notably clean; now not very lots. If you purchase into all of the hype some of the websites tout or are receiving greater than your share of electronic mail from a vendor displaying incredible income and yachts, lovely women, high-priced homes you are probable in for a heck of a surprise. E-mini trading may be uninteresting, lonely and there's a notably steep studying curve. You must ask yourself: Am I willing to work hard sufficient to turn out to be always worthwhile? My answer is that most people are not inclined to position within the considerable effort and time to learn to alternate.
That being stated, there are lots of buyers who make the effort and time commitment and earn a first rate living. Initially, you're going to need to do a little foundational learning; like knowledge the mechanisms that cause the fee to move in a single direction or the alternative. You may even want to log a good amount laptop time staring at charts and seeking to make experience of the 3 ring circus called the marketplace.

Do you suspect you can grasp all of the disciplines mentioned above within 6 months and end up in a position?
Learning to alternate is like on-the-activity training. It may be irritating and if you permit your emotions to manual your buying and selling you stand a good chance to losing a widespread sum of money. On the other hand, if you are patient and apply your self to the technique of learning to exchange you stand a respectable hazard of turning into an e-mini trader who can deliver the products.
What is the solution then for retirees who want to change in retirement?
If you want to be a in a position dealer the day you retire you had higher begin the manner of learning to alternate properly earlier than the date you walk from your activity for the last time. If it had been me, I could begin the education procedure a very good years earlier than I retire.

It will give you ample time to study the material required and practice on Market Replay the times buying and selling motion.

Would you want to start earning three hundred% each week? So would I… But you spot this form of hype on many sites these days.

Remember the whole Janet-Jackson's-bewb-made-my-kids-gay debacle from the Superbowl a few years back? And remember how everyone was like, "OMG, only AMERICA would be that uptight about a naked body part?"
Today, the BBC issued an apology to any listeners who might have been offended when John Barrowman, star of "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood," exposed himself during an interview on the radio.
On the radio.
On the radio.
On the radio
As a fervent, long-time proponent of public nudity for the sake of funny, I am torn on the issue. On one hand, this man:
should never have to apologize for exposing himself. In fact, I would wholeheartedly support any legal resolution that might be passed that would say something to the effect of him having to be starkers at all times.
On the other hand, the apology is far, far funnier than someone claiming to pull out their peen on the radio. In fact, the apology is the funny in this case. If someone said to you, "Oh my god, this guy just claimed to have pulled his dick out on the radio," you're not going to say, "Oh, that is hilarious! I must phone my friends immediately and tell them about this, it's that funny." But if someone said, "People in Great Britain were seriously offended by the very mention of a penis that they could not see, the BBC actually issued an apology for it and it's this huge scandal," you'd make a blog post about it.
On the other hand (in this scenario, I have three hands), it's actually pretty sad that someone would be offended enough to call for an apology. Seriously, is radio somehow different in England, like how in America we say "Chips" and they say "Crisps" and we could accidentally order French Fries? Is radio really "tv" or "in person," and I'm just not getting it because of the language barrier that somehow, incomprehensibly, exists between our two English speaking countries? Are the British afflicted with some horrible disease that makes them see out of their ears and also makes them allergic to genitalia? It's not like this guy whipped his wang out during an elementary school spelling bee. The DJs brought it up, and he answered by… well, example.
If you want to read about it, Sky news has an article at their website. The title, TV Star Exposes Himself On Live Radio Show basically sums up the absurdity in a nutshell. No pun, or horrible offense, intended.

About Torfrock
The northern German classic rock band Torfrock established themselves in the late '70s, before going on an indefinite hiatus in 1982 and re-forming years later to cultivate their formidable cult status on the concert circuit. Torfrock were formed by Klaus Büchner and Raymond Voß in 1976, and the idea underlying the band's formation was to perform German-language classic rock with a sense of plainspoken northern humor and without any high-minded pretensions. Büchner and Voß, who are singers as well as musicians, were influenced by the classic rock bands of America and Britain. For instance, their early repertoire included German-language interpretations of the classic rock staples "Hey Joe," "Summertime Blues," "Carol," "The Wind Cries Mary," and "Let's Work Together." By and large, though, the band wrote its own material and even constructed its own mythology (i.e., die Torfmoorholmer Legende).
Shortly after forming Torfrock, Büchner and Voß settled on a band lineup also including Reinhard Heinrichs (percussion), Gunnar Kämmer (drums), and Thomas Rieckmann (bass). With this lineup in place, the guys recorded and released the album Dat Matscht So Schön (1977), which includes key songs in the Torfmoorholm mythology. Torfrock continued recording albums at a steady rate in the years that followed -- Rata-Ta-Zong (1978), Torfrockball im Hühnerstall (1979), Vierter Versuch (1980), and Mein Gott, Sind Wir Begabt (1982) -- before Büchner and Voß decided to put the band on hold in order to pursue other projects. In particular, Büchner enjoyed a good run of success as part of the schlager duo Klaus & Klaus with Klaus Baumgart, debuting in 1981 with the single "Da Steht ein Pferd auf'm Flur" and releasing albums including An der Nordseeküste (1982), Tierisch Menschlich (1985), Schwer Ist der Beruf (1986), Wir Feiern Wieder Feste (1987), and Die Herzensbotschaft (1990). Voß, on the other hand, formed the rock band Eltern Haften für Ihre Kinder and recorded a self-titled album.
In 1988 Torfrock re-formed, though Rieckmann departed the following year, replaced on bass by Uwe Meitzner. The band then proceeded to record its comeback album, ...Alle an die Ruder! (1990), which included "Beinhart," a chart-topping single in Germany and a Top 20 hit in Austria and Switzerland. The comeback was topped off by a concert trek commemorated on the live album Aufe Beinharte Tour (1991) and its accompanying home video, as well as by the album Torfrock Oder Watt? (1992), which featured "remixes" of 17 fan favorites. Torfrock remained semi-active in the years that followed, releasing a new album every couple years (Goiler Tonträger, 1994; Rockerkuddl, 1996). The band was largely relegated to cult status in the wake of its comeback, however, which meant increasingly infrequent studio albums, a greater reliance on the concert circuit, and best-of compilations such as the three-CD Beinhart: Alle Hits (2000). Torfrock nevertheless did make another comeback with Einigkeit und Blech und Freizeit (2001), the band's first new album in five years. The release marked the band's 25th anniversary and was followed by a popular tour commemorated on the live album Die Beinharte Bagaluten-Wiehnacht (2002) and its accompanying home video. Torfrock resurfaced on-stage from time to time in the years that followed, drawing crowds that were a testament to the band's seemingly undiminishable cult following. ~ Jason Birchmeier

How to: Freeze Blueberries
Confession time: I am still an amateur when it comes to preserving the bountiful harvests of the summer months. But I do kind of have an excuse... every summer for the last 5 years I have either been quite pregnant or had a baby. To the women out there who plant, harvest and preserve a wonderful array of fruits and vegetables every summer despite having a baby attached to them: YOU ARE AMAZING. Give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back (or a glass of wine.)
But regardless of whatever well laid plans I have had each summer, the one thing I have always managed to accomplish is freezing blueberries!
This year, I have frozen 40 pounds of beautiful, juicy, local blueberries. *sigh of content*
Previous years I have only done 10-20lbs of blueberries and it did not last us a full year, so now hopefully those 40lbs actually last us!
Besides the fact that blueberries are versatile and can be added to smoothies and baked goods, I have always chosen to stock up because they are easy to freeze!
Did I mention my problem with baby-on-board or baby-in-tow every summer? Ya, I did. So that meant if it was not super simple to do, I wasn't going to do it.
If you've never frozen blueberries before, read how easy it is and then get your butt out there and buy some blueberries!
How to: Freeze Blueberries
There are two great ways to freeze blueberries: with a vacuum sealer and without a vacuum sealer--using Ziploc freezer bags.
Freezing blueberries with a vacuum sealer
1. Wash blueberries
Depending on the amount you purchase, this can be done all at once or in batches. Most often, you can gently dump the blueberries into your kitchen sink filled with cool water. But, if you have a lot of blueberries (like my 40lbs), you can either do it in your kitchen sink in batches OR use a larger (clean) Rubbermaid tote or laundry sink.
It's best to buy organic and/ore no-spray blueberries; if that's the case, I find just letting them sit in pure water while I get my supplies set up is good. If you're worried about contaminates, you can add apple cider vinegar to the water.
2. Dry and sort blueberries
Before you freeze your blueberries, you'll want to make sure that your blueberries are dry. Any extra moisture will cause freezer burn.
To dry your blueberries, lay them on towels. You can also place fans in the room to speed up this process.
While the blueberries are drying, sort through them and remove any blueberries that are overripe and mushy and remove any stems that may still be attached to the berries.
3. Pre-freeze blueberries
Because you don't want to squeeze your blueberries to mush in the vacuum sealer bags, it's best to pre-freeze them!
You can do this by laying dry blueberries on parchment-lined baking sheets and placing them in the freezer for a couple hours.
4. Vacuum seal blueberries
You can bag and freeze the blueberries in any amounts you'd like, but I recommend 2-4 cups. You should then label your bags with the amount and date that you froze them, just in case they end up in your freezer for a long time
Place the bags in the freezer as soon as possible so the blueberries don't thaw.
Freezing blueberries using Ziploc freezer bags
Follow steps 1 and 2 above, then...
3. Place unfrozen blueberries into Ziploc freezer bags
As long as you can do it relatively gently (I say relatively because I usually don't try to be gentle haha), you can measure your blueberries into Ziploc bags without pre-freezing.
Again, choose the amount you want in each bag.
When you close the bags, make sure to gently squeeze out as much air as possible. My weird trick is to close the bag most of the way, but leave one small opening. Then, I stick my mouth over the opening and suck out any remaining air as I quickly press it closed. (Sorry, if this weirds you out, don't eat blueberry muffins when you come over for a visit.)
4. Label and place bags in the freezer
I like to place my bags of blueberries back into the boxes they came in to keep my freezer more organized.
With just a few hours of your time, you can have beautiful blueberries all year long!
Another HUGE benefit to freezing blueberries is that you can buy them when they're in season which saves a ton of money. I chose to buy my blueberries already picked and spent $90 on 40lbs. If I had picked them myself, I could've gotten 40lbs for $60. Either way, I saved a lot of money. If I bought non-organic, store brand, frozen blueberries from the local grocery store, I would have spent at least $200 on the same amount!

The GEW is an initiative of the Global Entrepreneurship Network, during which events and competitions will showcase the potential of entrepreneurship in 170 countries around the globe.
This year's EES will once again gather cutting-edge thinkers, practitioners, and policymakers, to review together the state of entrepreneurship in Egypt. Experts from many fields, including but not limited to, SME leaders, corporations, academics, government officials and policy makers, entrepreneurs, youth, entrepreneurship supporting organizations such as incubators, accelerators and educational- and training institutions come together to discuss barriers and celebrate innovative successes.
EES 2018 overarching theme "Bridging the Gap: International and National Best Practices" is a call to create together a global vision on the development of our young entrepreneurs, a key priority for policymakers and government around the world. There is a need for stronger partnership, integrating and increasing proximity between international and national best practices. The Summit will feature the four distinct themes of the GEW 2018: women, youth, inclusion and ecosystem development.
Some parts of the Summit will allow participants to explore selected topics through interactive workshops. EES 2018 will offer breakout sessions on (i) EducationInnovation, looking at development needs from technical to higher level education, (ii) Financial Technology, by far the largest driver of innovation challenging old business models and Digital Economy to enhance inclusiveness and innovation (iii) the Youth Entrepreneurship Academy, where young entrepreneurs and scholars can present their papers and receive feedback and advice from renowned researchers in their field.

I recently left my full-time job to go part-time, meaning I have more days free to do the things I enjoy. I've been taking advantage of this, and riding my bike for fun a lot more often.
I came to a realisation that I not only want to ride faster and further, I want to ride better. What I mean by this, is that I want to ride with more confidence, balance, and skill. You may remember from my 10 Confessions of a Clumsy Cyclist, that I'm not the most nimble person and I've got a lot to learn still.
I didn't really ride much as a child, so I missed that stage where you play: learning tricks, mucking about in the woods, and generally taking risks that build your confidence. So with my newfound leisure time, I'm setting myself a series of challenges, or goals. I've listed the skills and techniques that I want to learn, practise and perfect, in order to make myself a better cyclist.
Riding slowly, in a straight line
When I haven't got to be anywhere quickly, I'm taking opportunities to shift into a low gear and slow right down. This is to help improve my balance and stability, which will be useful for commuting in traffic. On top of this, I'm aiming to be able to ride slowly in a straight line. This means tracing painted lines on quiet roads as slowly as possible, without jerking left and right too much. I've got a long way to go here, but my confidence is building.
Track standing
Building from here, I want to be able to come to a complete stop and hold my position for as long as possible. Again, it's all about improving my balance and stability, but it would also be nice to avoid having to unclip and re-clip as often as I do right now.
Riding one-handed
Technically I can already do this, but I'm much less confident taking my left hand off the bars than I am with my right. I don't know why, but I struggle with it. So, every chance I get, I'm forcing myself to take my left hand fully away from the bars, placing it on my hip. I'm then riding like this for as long as possible, to show myself that I can very quickly re-gain my stability. This is going really well.
Riding no-handed
I've always wanted to be able to do this. It would be really useful to be able to sit up and remove a layer without having to stop, or unwrap a snack bar while riding. As my one-handed riding has already improved drastically, I'm making good progress with this too. I'm making a point of straightening up and just gently resting my finger tips on the top of the bars, until I gain a good amount of balance. I then lift my hands an inch or so. Gradually I'm able to do this for longer, and even had a recent breakthrough where I held it for so long that I confidently put both hands in my lap! I'm not there yet though, and still need a lot of practice.
Climbing out of the saddle
I've been getting much better at this and feel like my legs are so much stronger now. I've been experimenting with where to put my hands, and swinging the bike from side to side. The latter felt very strange the first time, but I'm improving slowly. I want to do this more because I find shifting into the granny gear and spinning up a hill isn't very efficient when I'm trying to keep up with other riders who are on much lighter bikes than me. I want to be able to get up a hill quickly.
Scooting and mounting
I want to be able to mount efficiently. I see so many people placing their left foot on the pedal, kicking off into a scoot and swinging their right foot over the frame, planting themselves on the saddle and pedalling off. I'm nowhere near achieving this yet, but I've been working on simply scooting to find my balance. For some reason I naturally veer to the left, and I'm struggling to overcome this. No matter how much I concentrate, the moment my right foot leaves the ground, my hands pull the handlebars towards me.
Update: Since originally penning this post, I've now picked this up! Woohoo!
The same thing as before, but reverse. I've now mastered this one, but I still need a bit of practice. I'm able to slow, swing my right leg back and plant it on the ground, but I want to have such good balance that I can swing it into a scoot, and stay on the bike still. When Adam demonstrated these skills to me, he was slowly scooting along, swinging the right leg over, then back, then over, and then back again. I want to be able to do that.
Bunny hops
I want to be able to hop a curb. I frequently come up against this when riding home from the Bike Project, and I hate having to stop and lift my bike up onto the curb before getting going again. I also realise it's a good skill to have for avoiding unexpected hazards in the road, like potholes. I've started off by practising lifting the front wheel only. I push all my weight down onto the bars, and then use the upward momentum to pull them up as I return to position. It's really tiring, but I've been seeing progress and I just need to build my strength so I can get a bit more height. I'm not quite able to make the curb just yet.
That's all of them! I'll keep you updated on my progress. It's nice to have some things to aim for, and work at. It's not always just about how far I can go on the bike, after all.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The White House on Saturday morning issued a statement praising youths participating in March for Our Lives demonstrations against gun violence in Washington and around the country.
"We applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their First Amendment rights today," deputy White House press secretary Lindsay Walters said in the statement, in which she added that "keeping our children safe is a top priority of the President's."
But after leaving his golf club on Saturday afternoon, Trump's motorcade took a longer, less-direct route back to his Mar-a-Lago estate, where he is staying this weekend.
Trump's typical route would have taken him by Dreher Park in West Palm Beach, the gathering point for the local March for Our Lives demonstration.
A White House spokesman declined to comment on the reason for the longer route.
Many of those participating in the demonstrations are advocating far more aggressive gun-control steps than Trump has endorsed, such as a ban on assault weapons.
[March for Our Lives: The nation's capital has been preparing for weeks. Today, the voices will rise.]
The protests drew hundreds of thousands of protesters to the nation's capital and related rallies around the country. The events were organized by students who survived the mass shooting last month at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.
The White House's statement was issued as Trump spent time at Trump International Golf Club here, about 35 miles from Parkland.
This month, the White House vowed to help provide "rigorous firearms training" to some teachers and formally endorsed a bill to tighten the federal background-checks system. That legislation was included in the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill passed by Congress this week.
But the White House backed off Trump's earlier call to raise the minimum age to purchase some guns to 21 from 18.
On Friday, at Trump's direction, Attorney General Jeff Sessions also announced that the Justice Department is proposing a regulation to define bump stocks — devices that make a semiautomatic weapon fire in a fashion similar to an automatic one — as machine guns under federal law, effectively banning the device used last fall in Las Vegas by a gunman who killed 58 people.

About our Guild Wars 2 Chapter
The Guild was first created in the closed betas by the lucky members of the GW Chapter who were able to try GW2 that early. A fair number of the GW chapter pre-purchased the game and thus creating the Guild in BWE1 ranked almost as highly as creating the first characters. Even before the end of that first day, we were spending Influence on Guild upgrades although we were a bit disappointed that we were unable to construct a Guild Hall at that time.
Our members meet up in-game whenever possible, even outside of our regular and frequent scheduled Guild events, in order to experience the varied PvE aspects (such as world exploration, dungeons, Fractals or Guild missions) or to venture into The Mists for a spot of WvW mayhem in one of the three coloured worlds or some Structured PvP. Our Guild groups are not only great social vehicles but they have the added advantage of increasing certain awards for our players (for instance, we maintain the +10% magic find guild boost at all times). Even if the characters are not together in-game, the players are probably talking to each other on our dedicated Mumble server.
Our primary GW2 chapter resides on the Far Shiverpeaks server but, now that guesting is enabled, we are happy to consider members from other servers as well.
If you are looking for a fun group of people to help you save the world then check out the Recruitment section where you can find details of how to apply for GW2 membership. You can also try and contact us in game for more information.

Gene Simmons' Daughter Auditions For "The X Factor"
September 27, 2012 | News | No Comments|
The X Factor got a bit of a celebrity visit on the last episode, as Sophie Tweed-Simmons, the daughter of Gene Simmons, tried her luck with an Adele song. Although she could probably get a record contract on the strength of her dad's name alone, she's toughing it out with the rest of commoners. Although her audition barely got her through to the next round, the judges didn't seem terribly impressed by her.

Chicago Auto Show
2015 Chicago Auto Show
2013 Chicago Auto Show
2011 Chicago Auto Show
The Chicago Auto Show is one of the world's oldest auto shows, dating back to 1901, when the automobile was just in its infancy. With curiosity high, over 4,000 curious folks came to see these new horseless carriages that year. That first auto show was held at the Coliseum, located at 15th and Wabash. Also debuting near the turn of the century (in 1904), the Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA) has since become the nation's oldest and largest metropolitan dealer organization. Since 1935, the CATA has produced the Chicago Auto Show.
In 1936, the Chicago Auto Show migrated from the Coliseum to the International Amphitheatre and in 1971 wound up in its present location, McCormick Place. Due chiefly to the Second World War and resultant halt of auto production in America from 1943-1945, the show went on hiatus from 1942-1949. Resuming in 1950, the Chicago Auto Show came back strong. By 1953 the Chicago Auto Show had become the largest show of its type in the world.
Highlights of the Chicago Auto Show through the years include the public's first view of the first (1953) Corvette, as well as the debut (in 1970) of the second-generation Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. Using its status as the biggest auto show in North America, the Chicago Auto Show also hosts a black-tie event that raises funds for selected area charities. Typically, the "First Look for Charity," which allows patrons to attend the auto show before it opens to the general public, raises over $2 million.
Held in the enormous McCormick Place convention center on Lake Shore Drive in February, the Chicago auto show not only has room for dozens of concept and production vehicles, it has even housed an entire indoor test track.
On the concept side, the Chicago Auto Show gave us the first glimpse of the Honda Civic Si. With a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood, this Civic Si looked ready for the track as well. Another concept car that looked headed to production was the Dodge Nitro SUV. Built on the same chassis as the Jeep Liberty, the Nitro would help fill in the gap in the Dodge lineup below the Durango. Despite nearly full-production trim, the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser still looked like a concept. Sharing styling cues with the original Land Cruiser, the FJ Cruiser is a modern compact SUV built on a shortened 4Runner chassis.
Other notable introductions at the 2005 Chicago Auto Show included the 2006 Kia Sedona and the 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG. The 2006 Mercury Milan sedan made its debut alongside the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Mercury Mountaineer SUVs. The Milan is an upscale version of the Ford Fusion that features a 3.0-liter V6 and a six-speed automatic transmission on top-of-the-line models. GM had a few sedans of its own in the 2006 Buick Lucerne and the 2006 Cadillac DTS.

Third & Final Install- Seabed to Stars
Last week we made the trip to Auckland with the final 3 paintings to install.
Here's a short look at the final painting, on level 3 of the stairwell.
I'll have a longer, beginning to end vid coming soon.
Painting Paua / Abalone
Cropped piece of large wall mural of NZ Seabed.
This was a real challenge. The perfectionist in me needed this to be exactly right, the feel of it, the colours everything had to be exactly as I sensed it should be and I was settling for nothing less. I painted over it three times completely wiping it out and starting again , before I manage to finally get on a roll that felt on the right track.
Relief! That is the feeling when everything else Floyd so easily with this painting and this is completely stopped me in my tracks. The end result I am thrilled with and it sits perfectly and balance with the rest of the painting.

Colour In Your Life TV Series filming me
EDIT Feb 23 2017:
here is the link its just aired yesterday:
Tomorrow I have the Colour in Your Life film crew here from Australia, to shoot for my episode. These videos are shown on over 26 TV channels around the world.
A days filming. I'll be demo-ing my art process and talking about my journey and the way I work. I think it's going to be an awesome day.
I'll post a link once it goes to air.
About Colour In Your Life
Vision: To build a library of the minds of artists; to preserve a digital record of creative spirit, culture and techniques for future generations.
Put Some Colour In Your Life, or Colour In Your Life, is a television series created by Master Artist and CEO Graeme Stevenson. It began in the small town of Murwillumbah, just south of the NSW/QLD border in Australia, and from this incredibly artistic region has spread out to encompass the arts and artists of Australia, and the world.
The website, which runs in conjunction with the TV Series, was created in the hopes of building an Arts Hub for artists all around the world. Here, it is Graeme's hope people can share their knowledge, display their work, and learn as much as possible from others. The episodes are also available for viewing, and it is here that Colour In Your Life hopes to create a library of the minds of Artists – a digital record of the many varied talents and techniques of artists that might otherwise have been lost when their time came. The website and television series offers investors, educators, students, teachers, and people all over the world the chance to have access to the enormous creative energy that is part of the minds of right-brained people. Art and what is does for our society is incredibly important to the spirit and souls of all that see it.
In 2011, after the crippling effects of the global financial crisis, it became apparent that people of Australia were no longer going out to buy or enjoy art. Over 50% of galleries across the country were closing, and it occured to Graeme, after working with The Fine Arts Showcase in America, that it was time to take art to a digital platform. Realising that the techniques and knowledge of great artists are often lost once the artist has passed on, Graeme concluded that a television show that captures artists in their studios, creating their pieces, could be utilised as a digital library. He coined the term 'a library of the minds of artists', and with this in mind, he made the decision to study Film at a TAFE in Murwillumbah, NSW. By the end of this course, Graeme had produced the first six episodes of the now nationally aired TV Series 'Put Some Colour In Your Life'.
Put Some Colour In Your Life, often simply referred to as 'Colour In Your Life', was fostered in the Green Cauldron of the Northern Rivers, NSW, with much of our opening credits hoping to promote Mount Warning and the stunning landscape. With the largest concentration of artists in the country situated within the Northern Rivers region, the series had some incredible artists come on board in the first few months. It was also during this time that Graeme met and began working with videographer Sophia Stacey.
For approximately the first year, Colour In Your Life aired on paid television channels such as Brisbane 31 and Melbourne 31, gradually building a name for itself. In 2012, the show was nominated for two Logie awards, one being for 'Best Host', and the other 'Best Light Entertainment Program'. In 2012, Colour In Your Life began to air nationally on the network TV 4Me, run by the company Brand New Media.
As time progressed, Graeme began to further develop the website to match the television series, wanting to offer artists around the world a communal place they could speak, share ideas and information, and enjoy the show. A 'Facebook for Artists', as it were. This was developed simultaneously with the Colour In Your Life Facebook page, and now both interact seamlessly in an effort to further promote the great artists of this country.
The series has since been picked up by free-to-air New Zealand, Sky TV, Foxtel Aurora 183, and Virgin Airways worldwide, and Graeme is in constant talks with agents in America, and other parties interested in the series across the world. Receiving frequent feedback from other countries such as America, Canada, Europe, Scotland, South America and the Philippines, Graeme perseveres knowing that his artistic message is reaching people around the globe.
It was during the middle of the year in 2012 that Graeme and the team were approached by the Junee Correctional Facility, about the amazing impact the show had had on the inmates and their rehabilitation. From this, the Junee Gaol Episode was filmed, in which Graeme and several of the Colour In Your Life Team went inside the prison to teach the inmates. After this incredible experience, Graeme realised that there were more people across the country that didn't have access to their creative rightbrain, and he began the process of creating the Paint Your Life Foundation. This Foundation will one day be able to provide creative outlets for all manner of people unable to access it on their own, from the elderly in nursing homes, people or children suffering from disease or illness, and prison inmates.
At the conclusion of the Sixth Season in late 2013, with the one of a kind and never before attempted episode on 'The Three Amigos', it was decided that Colour In Your Life would travel to New Zealand during its Seventh Season, to film some of the incredible artists in their beautiful country. It is Graeme's hope, however, that Colour In Your Life will soon be able to travel to countries all over the world, filming artists in their studios and preserving that knowledge and craft for future generations.

The Dreamcatcher- A childrens book by Reina Cottier & Dhyana Muir
PUBLISHED! the creative collaboration by my life long friend Dhyana and myself….
The Dreamcatcher is a book that honours both daydreaming and night dreaming as the voice of our soul and our unique creative force in the world. Written to ignite and validate dreams, and visions of children, to help develop self esteem and an awareness of the power of imagination.
The Dreamcatcher is a mythical presence in the book overseeing, and interpreting the various dreams of children bringing positive messages and encouragement.
There is also an introduction to meditation techniques built into the storyline which can help sooth those having difficulty sleeping. Our hope is to alleviate the fear of night dreaming and encourage parents and children to discuss daydreams and ideas in a way that supports the next generation of innovators and creative spirits.

On April 26, 2018 at the ILA Berlin 2018 air show, Arianespace, represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Stéphane Israël, and the European Space Agency (ESA), represented by its Director General, Jan Wörner, signed a frame contract defining procedures for the procurement of launch services by ESA, especially for its own missions.
This contractual framework confirms ESA's commitment to European launch vehicles, in line with the principles endorsed by Member States during the Ministerial-level Council meeting in Luxembourg in 2014. This contract applies to all launchers in the Arianespace family, both current (Ariane 5, Soyuz, Vega) and future (Ariane 6 and Vega C). It also defines all services to be provided by Arianespace to carry out these launches.
The European Commission – who already entrusted Ariane 6 with two Galileo mission in 2020 and 2021 – is expected to make a similar commitment, as are other European institutional actors, especially national ones.
Following the contract signing, Jan Wörner said, "With the signature of this contract, ESA aims at giving Arianespace the appropriate framework to continue to operate their launcher family under the best conditions, and as such, contributes to further strengthening a solid cooperation between ESA and the European space transportation industry."
Stéphane Israël added, "Arianespace is delighted with this latest mark of ESA's commitment to these launchers, fully in line with the decisions made at the Ministerial-level Council meeting in Luxembourg in 2014. Having already launched 67 satellites for ESA, which became the first launch customer for Ariane 6 in September 2017, Arianespace is honored to reaffirm our commitment to guarantee reliable and independent access to space for Europe. This frame contract marks a major step forward in ESA and European institutions' full-fledged support for Ariane 6 and Vega C."
Arianespace uses space to make life better on Earth by providing launch services for all types of satellites into all orbits. It has orbited more than 570 satellites since 1980, using its family of three launchers, Ariane, Soyuz and Vega, from launch sites in French Guiana (South America) and Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Arianespace is headquartered in Evry, near Paris, and has a technical facility at the Guiana Space Center, Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, plus local offices in Washington, D.C., Tokyo and Singapore. Arianespace is a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, which holds 74% of its share capital, with the balance held by 17 other shareholders from the European launcher industry.
