Our 3 day Motatapu guided hiking trip offers people who are reasonably new to hiking three days under the watchful eye of one of our guides. The Motatapu Valley links lakes Wanaka and Wakatipu. Long before a road was carved through Cardrona Valley and over the Crown Range, the route via the Motatapu was the way Māori traveled from one basin to the other. Full of history, a variety of terrain including green valley, forest, river, and highland, and offering a wilderness experience tucked between two of the South Island's most popular destinations, the Motatapu Track is a natural option for those wanting an accessible but still challenging Kiwi trek.
The track starts from Fern Burn car park which is 12 km from Wanaka. Heading over to Macetown where a four wheel drive will meet the group.
Aspiring Discovery 3-day: "We've always enjoyed Wanaka and the surrounding area, so it was the opportunity to do a walk in the area with an experienced guide, and also being able to hire backpacks etc rather than having to carry camping gear with us to NZ. Tim was always very professional, friendly and easy going. He was very patient and when he realised we were going to take longer than expected he adjusted breaks/lunch to fit in with our pace and the time it took us to get to the camp. It was great to have the flexibility of having your own guide and being able to go at your own pace without worrying about slowing down the rest of a group."
The Motatapu Track is a route steeped in history. From the days of seasonal Māori settlements through the gold mining days, the valley of the Motatapu has quietly watched passersby through the centuries. Now keen trekkers have the option to traverse this route connecting Wanaka to the charming old mining towns of Macetown and Arrowtown on the other side of the mountain range.
Beginning from Wanaka, the route travels from green valley pastures through the beech forest along the Fern Burn (i.e. stream/river) before climbing up to the highland terrain. The track includes open flats as well challenging ups and downs over saddles and along ridgelines. The first night is spent at the Highland Creek Hut (850m), and the second at Roses Hut (681m), before finishing the last day via river crossings and past relics of the old mining days.
C = confirmed departure
Join a scheduled departure or book a private or custom wild walk to suit you.
The Motatapu Wild Walk is suitable for people with a moderate level of fitness. While the track is rough by usual standards, with 5-8 hours hiking it is not a long day. The track has some steep sections, so hikers should have enough endurance to maintain a slow but steady pace for at least an hour. This walk is suitable for most children over the age of 10, however some younger kids who have experience have found it to be an excellent outing.
The track starts in the Fern Burn carpark, heading along the river and passing shrubland, grassy flats, and through shady beech forest. Then the climbing starts, getting above the bushline and into tussock country. You'll make your way past Fern Burn Hut at 720m, a great spot for lunch. From the hut there is more climbing up to Jack Halls Saddle at 1275m, the high point for day one. Then it's time to head down to Highland Creek and then Highland Creek Hut (asl 850 m).
13km - 6-8 hours
To start the day you'll cross Highland Creek, sidling along and negotiating more creeks, climbs and tussock along the way. But don't forget to look up and catch the views across Motatapu valley. To finish off the day you'll head steeply down into the gully where there is another creek to cross. From here it's up again to the South West ridge of Knuckle Peak. More sidling here before heading down and along a ridge to the Motatapu River. An easy finish to the day with a hike along some open flats to Roses Hut which is at 681m.
11km - 6-8 hours
After an early start it's time to head up to the main ridge above Roses Saddle. You'll head along the ridge here before going down to the Arrow River. We like to embrace the true kiwi tramping way here and wade in and out of the river down to Macetown. If the river is high there is also a high track option that sidles above the river. At Macetown we meet our 4WD. Take your pack off and finish the trip with a four wheel drive along the Arrow River.
5-6hrs 10km

Bluegonegone: China's bike-sharing bubble goes bust
And so it begins. Chinese media report that Bluegogo, the nation's third-largest dockless bike-sharing startup, has ceased operations, becoming the first major casualty in a fast-paced tech sector many analysts warn is hurtling towards a reckoning.
Bluegogo was among nearly 30 Chinese startups allowing users to rent bikes with smartphones and leave them wherever they like. The company launched in 2016 with more than $90 million dollars in venture funding. At its peak, Bluegogo claimed 20 million registered users, deployed more than 700,000 bikes, and launched operations in San Francisco and Sydney as well as China.
Bluegogo's attempts at global expansion both ended in failure. In San Francisco, the company ran into stiff resistance from local politicians and suspended operations after only four months. In Sydney, Bluegogo supplied bicycles for local bike-sharing venture Reddy Go, but the Australian firm broke off partnership negotiations and dropped Bluegogo in favor of another bike supplier.
But the full extent of Bluegogo's financial difficulties in its home market didn't emerge until this week, when Chinese social media erupted in complaints about the company. Users fumed that the Bluegogo app no longer unlocks bikes and that the company isn't responding to requests for refund of their deposits. Chinese media descended on Bluegogo headquarters in Beijing to discover offices locked and abandoned. Chinese press report that the company dismissed staff on Wednesday. multiple senior Bluegogo executives confirmed that they have left the company. According to several reports, Bluegogo owes $300,000 in office rent. A Bluegogo bike supplier told the Global Times the company owes it more than $1.5 million.
In a public letter released Thursday night, Bluegogo chief executive Li Gang said the company was being acquired by another Chinese firm. "As a CEO, I've made mistakes," Li wrote. "I was filled with arrogance." He denied reports that he had fled the country.
China Money Network reports that Bluegogo raised $58 million in February led by an aptly named Beijing-based venture fund Black Hole Capital, and Smart Xintong, a Shenzhen-based healthcare equipment developer. The investments valued Bluegogo at $140 million.
Bluegogo's crack-up follows the collapse of several smaller Chinese bike-sharing companies within the past six months, including Wukong, 3vBike, and Ding Ding. Many analysts predict the industry is headed for a bloody consolidation in which only one or two players survive. The sectors two giants—Mobike, backed by Tencent Holdings, and Ofo, backed by Alibaba Group—have each reached raised roughly $1 billion in funding and are widely tipped as the industry's final victors.
Over the past 18 months, China's bike-sharing industry has rolled out with astonishing speed as rival companies saturate city streets with a riot of orange, yellow and blue cycles. Many have launched operations overseas in locations including Boston, Washington D.C., Singapore and Kuala Lampur.
There were clear signs of lax management at Bluegogo. The company ran in to trouble with a bizarre June 4 ad campaign that replaced some of the bike icons on its app with icons for tanks, offering prizes to users who bikes depicted by tanks. The promotion coincided with anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre when tanks rolled through the streets of Beijing to suppress democracy protests.
But in China's bikes-sharing sector, even well-managed ventures face an uphill climb. It has long been clear that the sector is a bubble, with far too many players backed by far too much venture funding chasing far too little profit. A shakeout was inevitable. The real question is whether Bluegogo's collapse portends a similar consolidation in other Chinese Internet sectors.
Enjoy the weekend!

Politics and Policy
The "unrivalled helmsman". Chinese state media Xinhua News published a glowing 8,000-word profile of President Xi Jinping on Friday, calling him a "great lingxiu," a reverential appelation not used since Mao. Titled, "Xi and his era," the article also offered rare details into Xi's private life and his public ideology and projects, including the "One Belt, One Road" scheme and economic and military reforms. Quartz
Extra screening. US-China Economic and Security Review Commission has advised Congress to make it mandatory for all staff of Chinese state-run media outlets in the United States to register as foreign agents with the U.S. government as their activities may contribute to Chinese intelligence gathering and "information warfare." The commission's annual report also recommended that Congress block the acquisition of critical technologies and infrastructure with national security risks by Chinese state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds. South China Morning Post
Detention without trial. A new national supervision law in China, released in draft on November 6 and expected to be implemented in March, will give the newly established anti-corruption super body, the national supervisory commission, special legal powers to detain anyone suspected of corruption for months without access to lawyers in that time. South China Morning Post
The big move North. Chinese president Xi Jinping sent a special envoy to Pyongyang on Friday, amid increasing pressure over North Korea's missile program. The dispatch of a senior diplomat comes after Donald Trump's call on China on his two-week Asia trip to apply more diplomatic weight on Kim Jong-un to curb his nuclear ambitions. It promptly triggered an approving tweet from Trump, who called it "a big move." CNN
Trade and Economy
Trading health. New York Stock Exchange-listed healthcare firm Cardinal Health will sell its China business to Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturer Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co. For $1.2 billion. The sale includes Cardinal Health's pharmaceutical and medical products distribution business in China but not it's remaining business in China, including its lately acquired patient recover business Cordis, medical sourcing team and other functions. China Money Network
VW's electric drive. Volkswagen AG plans to spend more than $12 billion by 2025 to manufacture a range of new-energy vehicles in China. The German automaker and local partner Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group will produce 40 locally made low-emission vehicles, starting from the first half of 2018. Sales will start in the second half of next year. Bloomberg
Toyota, too. Toyota Motor Corp., meanwhile, will introduce electric vehicles in China from 2020. The Japanese car manufacturer is also considering producing Toyota-branded battery-powered autos developed by its Chinese partners to conform to Beijing's tightened regulations on zero- and low-emission vehicles that will take effect in 2019. Reuters
Knocking back a drink. China's official media agency Xinhua News made the unusual move of singling out Kweichow Moutai Co., saying that the shares of China's largest liquor maker should rise at a slower pace. The commentary caused shares of the Shanghai Stock Exchange-listed company, which Goldman Sachs has been very bullish on, to plunge be as much as 5.8 percent, their steepest decline in two years.

An 'orderly' Internet. Never mind that China ranked at the bottom out of 65 countries for press freedom on a list published by U.S. NGO Freedom House. The Cyberspace Administration of China, China's top cyber authority responded that the internet must be "orderly" and urged the global community to join China in fighting fake news and cyber rumours. Reuters
Tencent TV. Chinese tech giant Tencent plans to invest $3 billion to amass user-generated Youtube-style videos. After a spell of content acquisitions, from music from leading record labels to streaming rights, the investment by the company behind social messaging and payment app WeChat will focus on three areas under their "3 x 10bn" plan: revenue-sharing with content creators, providing protection for intellectual property and start-up spaces and boosting traffic. Financial Times
Amazon Web Services sells China infrastructure. Amazon.com Inc will sell off the hardware from its public cloud business in China to local partner Beijing Sinnet Technology Co Ltd, in order to comply with new Chinese surveillence and cross-border data transfer laws that require firms to store data locally. Amazon Web Services clarified that the sale would only involve certain physical infrastructure assets and that it would still own the intellectual property for its services worldwide." Reuters
Geely buys US flying car company. Chinese carmaker Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, the parent company of Volvo Cars, will acquire the operations and assets of Terrafugia Inc., a US-based flying car manufacturer behind the Transition, a two-seat flying car that can travel up to 100 miles per hour in the sky. Terrafugia said the deal has been greenlighted from regulations, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). China Money Network

Using Ansible¶
The playbooks in our ansible directory run ansible roles which:
- install and configure basecoin or ethermint
- start/stop basecoin or ethermint and reset their configuration
- Ansible 2.0 or higher
- SSH key to the servers
Optional for DigitalOcean droplets:
- DigitalOcean API Token
- python dopy package
For a description on how to get a DigitalOcean API Token, see the explanation in the using terraform tutorial.
Optional for Amazon AWS instances:
- Amazon AWS API access key ID and
secret access key.
The cloud inventory scripts come from the ansible team at their
GitHub page. You can get the
latest version from the
contrib/inventory folder.
Ansible requires a "command machine" or "local machine" or "orchestrator machine" to run on. This can be your laptop or any machine that can run ansible. (It does not have to be part of the cloud network that hosts your servers.)
Use the official Ansible installation guide to install Ansible. Here are a few examples on basic installation commands:
sudo apt-get install ansible
sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ansible
Mac OSX: If you have Homebrew installed, then it's:
brew install ansible
If not, you can install it using
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install ansible
To make life easier, you can start an SSH Agent and load your SSH key(s). This way ansible will have an uninterrupted way of connecting to your servers.
ssh-agent > ~/.ssh/ssh.env
source ~/.ssh/ssh.env
ssh-add private.key
Subsequently, as long as the agent is running, you can use
source ~/.ssh/ssh.env to load the keys to the current session. Note:
On Mac OSX, you can add the
-K option to ssh-add to store the
passphrase in your keychain. The security of this feature is debated but
it is convenient.
Optional cloud dependencies¶
If you are using a cloud provider to host your servers, you need the below dependencies installed on your local machine.
DigitalOcean inventory dependencies:¶
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install dopy
sudo yum install python-pip
sudo pip install dopy
Mac OSX:
sudo pip install dopy
Amazon AWS inventory dependencies:¶
sudo apt-get install python-boto
sudo yum install python-boto
Mac OSX:
sudo pip install boto
Refreshing the DigitalOcean inventory¶
If you just finished creating droplets, the local DigitalOcean inventory cache is not up-to-date. To refresh it, run:
DO_API_TOKEN="<The API token received from DigitalOcean>"
python -u inventory/digital_ocean.py --refresh-cache 1> /dev/null
Refreshing the Amazon AWS inventory¶
If you just finished creating Amazon AWS EC2 instances, the local AWS inventory cache is not up-to-date. To refresh it, run:
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='<The API access key ID received from Amazon>'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='<The API secret access key received from Amazon>'
python -u inventory/ec2.py --refresh-cache 1> /dev/null
Note: you don't need the access key and secret key set, if you are running ansible on an Amazon AMI instance with the proper IAM permissions set.
Running the playbooks¶
The playbooks are locked down to only run if the environment variable
TF_VAR_TESTNET_NAME is populated. This is a precaution so you don't
accidentally run the playbook on all your servers.
The variable
TF_VAR_TESTNET_NAME contains the testnet name which
ansible translates into an ansible group. If you used Terraform to
create the servers, it was the testnet name used there.
If the playbook cannot connect to the servers because of public key
denial, your SSH Agent is not set up properly. Alternatively you can add
the SSH key to ansible using the
--private-key option.
If you need to connect to the nodes as root but your local username is
different, use the ansible option
-u root to tell ansible to connect
to the servers and authenticate as the root user.
If you secured your server and you need to
sudo for root access, use
the the
-b or
--become option to tell ansible to sudo to root
after connecting to the server. In the Terraform-DigitalOcean example,
if you created the ec2-user by adding the
noroot=true option (or if
you are simply on Amazon AWS), you need to add the options
-u ec2-user -b to ansible to tell it to connect as the ec2-user and
then sudo to root to run the playbook.
DO_API_TOKEN="<The API token received from DigitalOcean>"
ansible-playbook -i inventory/digital_ocean.py install.yml -e service=basecoin
Amazon AWS¶
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='<The API access key ID received from Amazon>'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='<The API secret access key received from Amazon>'
ansible-playbook -i inventory/ec2.py install.yml -e service=basecoin
Installing custom versions¶
By default ansible installs the tendermint, basecoin or ethermint binary versions from the latest release in the repository. If you build your own version of the binaries, you can tell ansible to install that instead.
GOPATH="<your go path>"
go get -u github.com/tendermint/basecoin/cmd/basecoin
DO_API_TOKEN="<The API token received from DigitalOcean>"
ansible-playbook -i inventory/digital_ocean.py install.yml -e service=basecoin -e release_install=false
Alternatively you can change the variable settings in
Other commands and roles¶
There are few extra playbooks to make life easier managing your servers.
- install.yml - Install basecoin or ethermint applications. (Tendermint
gets installed automatically.) Use the
serviceparameter to define which application to install. Defaults to
- reset.yml - Stop the application, reset the configuration and data,
then start the application again. You need to pass
-e service=<servicename>, like
-e service=basecoin. It will restart the underlying tendermint application too.
- restart.yml - Restart a service on all nodes. You need to pass
-e service=<servicename>, like
-e service=basecoin. It will restart the underlying tendermint application too.
- stop.yml - Stop the application. You need to pass
-e service=<servicename>.
- status.yml - Check the service status and print it. You need to pass
-e service=<servicename>.
- start.yml - Start the application. You need to pass
-e service=<servicename>.
- ubuntu16-patch.yml - Ubuntu 16.04 does not have the minimum required python package installed to be able to run ansible. If you are using ubuntu, run this playbook first on the target machines. This will install the python pacakge that is required for ansible to work correctly on the remote nodes.
- upgrade.yml - Upgrade the
serviceon your testnet. It will stop the service and restart it at the end. It will only work if the upgraded version is backward compatible with the installed version.
- upgrade-reset.yml - Upgrade the
serviceon your testnet and reset the database. It will stop the service and restart it at the end. It will work for upgrades where the new version is not backward-compatible with the installed version - however it will reset the testnet to its default.
The roles are self-sufficient under the
roles/ folder.
- install - install the application defined in the
serviceparameter. It can install release packages and update them with custom-compiled binaries.
- unsafe_reset - delete the database for a service, including the tendermint database.
- config - configure the application defined in
service. It also configures the underlying tendermint service. Check
group_vars/allfor options.
- stop - stop an application. Requires the
serviceparameter set.
- status - check the status of an application. Requires the
serviceparameter set.
- start - start an application. Requires the
serviceparameter set.
Default variables¶
Default variables are documented under
group_vars/all. You can the
parameters there to deploy a previously created genesis.json file
(instead of dynamically creating it) or if you want to deploy custom
built binaries instead of deploying a released version.

Dot, our queen leader sheep, is now nine years old. She's getting around more slowly, but is still definitely in charge of the flock. Last year we were holding out hope that she might "lamb for the cycle," and deliver quadruplets (after supplying twins, a single, and triplets in the past). This year, we were just happy she delivered at all. Nine years old isn't over the hill for an Icelandic sheep, but it's "getting up there."
Yesterday morning, she had a beautiful little ram lamb she was licking off. As the day went on, she was again proving herself one of the best mother ewes; she's always been significantly more protective of her brood than other ewes, and quicker to challenge any child or dog that even comes close to one of her lambs. It was a beautiful thing to watch today; I just hope we get to see it again next year.
I apologize for the poor picture quality; this is what a phone-based camera gets you in a poorly-lighted barn. Better photos will follow.

Prisons Excluded From DTV Coupon Programs
Prisons are excluded from legislation giving millions of dollars to television viewers for coupons to cut the cost of a converter box for digital television.
TV is crucial for cash-strapped, under-staffed prisons, many of which rely on analog television sets to keep prisoners occupied.

Back to Zopa Blog
A look back at Zopathon 2017
Posted on 14 September 2017
by Joshua Webb in Zopian life
Last week Zopians assembled for the third annual Zopathon.
The Zopathon is a chance for teams from across Zopa to take a brief step away from their day jobs to brainstorm new ways we can help our customers. They then have the small task of building a prototype from scratch and presenting it to a panel of judges – all in the space of 24 hours!
The challenge:
How can we help our customers get the most from their finances by using the latest tech?
The teams were briefed in our riverfront HQ on Thursday afternoon, and then, armed with financial reports, case-studies, insights and open-banking APIs, they made the short walk to a nearby venue, primed for maximum creativity and collaboration.
The teams explored lots of different ways we could help out our customers. They ranged from new product features and rewards systems that promote positive financial behaviour, to voice-triggered finance management technology.
Once they'd nailed down their idea, it was into the details. The teams spent the next 24 hours establishing their business case, building prototypes and getting ready to prove to the judges just how much benefit their idea would bring to a customer.
Presenting the ideas
A day later, it was time for the teams to present to the judges and the rest of Zopa, who were eager to hear what their fellow Zopians had been working on.
The ideas were marked on the potential impact they could have on our customers, the confidence the judges had in the success of these ideas and how effectively they could be implemented. Here's the winning team, who presented a prototype of an AI-powered chatbot:
At Zopa, we're constantly looking at ways in which we can improve our customers' lives. If you are interested in joining our mission to make money simple and fair, see what roles we currently have on offer.

Hi everybody! In today's tutorial video, I'll show you how to use The Logo Creator to create your own custom templates and I'll show you how to use them so that they won't get altered after you edit it.
(Create a template – then use the "Save As…" menu option. Navigate to your Documents > Laughingbird Documents > Logo Libraries > and create a new folder here. Name it whatever you wish,
and save the template design into that folder.
Leave a comment below – let me know what you think! 😀 Or visit Laughingbird's Facebook Group for more discussion!
Hi there! My name is Marc. Along with my wife Lisa, we run the best design software company on the net! Come on in and check out Laughingbird Software! You'll love it!
Awesome video Marc.
This gives me a ton of ideas
thanks for posting this
Really, really helps…
I have ads where the theme doesn't change, but the details change every week. Sooooo much easier (and less frustrating 🙂
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you Marc – so happy to learn this trick
Thanks for the video! This makes total sense.
Hi Marc & Lisa
This was great!
I've got a simple (for you) question.
I've noticed in all your videos how easy it is to remove objects or text from the template. How in the world do you do that?
My regards
Marc, I remember with the first "The Logo Creator" we talked about this a long time ago, and what I did was create the folder and just drag the materials into that folder from whatever was in "My Templates" folder and Create a separate folder for that at the same time. This is like that as well. Really cool you are showing this to others and this is a big time saver when opening gigantic folders, especially when creating daily. Great video and always informative for the beginner and novice graphics creator. Keep up the great work, my friend.

West Ham are interested in signing Rafinha from Barcelona this summer, according to reports.
Rafinha, the midfielder, is one of the players Barca are looking to sell this summer, having spent the second half of last season on loan at Inter of Milan.
The 25-year-old likely has no future at Camp Nou, although he will be part of their pre-season tour as he awaits his departure. He wishes to be guaranteed consistent football as he was at Inter, which is never going to happen while remaining at Barca.
Latest transfer news
Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool have all been linked with moving for the twice-capped Brazil international previously, while there were also suggestions Inter could make Rafinha's signing a permanent one.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, West Ham are the club that have shown 'most interest' in securing Rafinha's services this summer as Manuel Pellegrini continues working to improve the squad he inherited at the London Stadium.
The Hammers have already completed seven signings this summer, bringing in goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, defenders Issa Diop, Ryan Fredericks and Fabian Balbuena, and midfielders Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko and Felipe Anderson.

Charlie found his old Robin Hood costume from two Halloweens ago and learned how to notch the arrow in his bow and shoot it by himself. This was 6 days ago. He has played NONSTOP with it since then, or at least until the bow broke two days ago. Its hard to recall ever seeing more sorrow in his face then I did when he showed me his broken bow.
Chris helped Charlie think about Nephi when he broke his bow and how sad everyone was that they couldn't find any food to eat anymore. But the best part of that story was when Nephi made a new bow, went hunting and brought home food for the family.
So we're in the process of making him a new bow. And yesterday and today Charlie has been happy with walking around the house carrying the new stick we found for it. Cute kid. We better make it for him soon although it has been nice to not constantly dodge arrows or explain to Gwen that Charlie is still playing with the arrow even though it just flew away from him and also Chris's eye has enjoyed the time to heal.
Collection success! - Yesterday (Monday), my mom and I went into the clinic at 7:30 am. They gave me my two neupogen shots, and then had me go get some breakfast. They told m...

Jesus and Nicodemus-Inside Out
Ken Onstot
Scripture: John 3:1-17
Introduction: In the Disney-Pixar movie Inside Out we meet a young girl named Riley who goes through some typical parent-child struggles as she grows up. But inside her head we see a panel of characters who represent the thoughts and emotions inside her that are shaping her words and actions. The same is true for her parents. The characters in their heads give voice to the thoughts and feelings behind the words they say to each other.
Using that strategy, Aaron, Beaver, Nanci, and I are going to recreate the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus that we just heard in our scripture reading. This conversation is confusing because so much of it is unspoken. In this skit we will get inside the characters to understand what is going on behind the words they say. This is Jesus and Nicodemus: Inside Out.
[Jesus sits on a stool center stage. There is an empty stool to his left. Behind him is Inside-Jesus. Nicodemus enters from stage left followed by Inside-Nick. Inside-Nick speaks only to Nicodemus; Inside-Jesus speaks only to Jesus. Nicodemus and Jesus speak only to each other.]
Inside-Nick (worrying): Are you sure this is a good idea coming to Jesus in the middle of the night? What will people think if they see you, slinking around in the dark?
[Nicodemus motions as if telling Inside-Nick to keep quiet.]
Inside-Nick: Oh, I get it. You don't want people to know you are here. You're afraid the other Pharisees will kick you off the Jerusalem Council if they see you with Jesus, especially after Jesus drove all those merchants out of the temple. Personally, I'm glad he got rid of them. I hate religious merchandising. But you better be careful. Jesus has made some powerful enemies.
[Nicodemus sits in the stool next to Jesus.]
Nicodemus: "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God."
Inside-Jesus: Listen to this guy, will you? Such flattery. No wonder he's a politician. But he must have something on his mind, or he wouldn't have come to see you in the middle of the night. What's he after? He called you a rabbi-a teacher. Is he looking for some new teaching, some self-help advice that will straighten everyone out? If only it were that easy!
Jesus: "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above."
Inside-Nick: Kingdom of God? Who said anything about the kingdom of God? You haven't even asked a question yet. And what does he mean by being born from above? Is he suggesting that you must be born over again?
Nicodemus: "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?"
Inside-Jesus: Wow, for a Bible scholar he sure is dense. Can't he understand a metaphor when he hears one? He thinks you are talking about obstetrics!
Inside-Nick: That was a stupid question. Of course he is not talking about physical birth. His words must have some spiritual meaning. But that's where you need to challenge him. Changing a person spiritually is even harder than stuffing him back in the womb. Have you ever tried to change someone's personality? (Aside) Spouses try to do it all the time, and it never works. (Back to Nicodemus) Challenge him to tell you how it is possible for someone to be reborn spiritually.
[Nicodemus starts to ask a question, but Jesus cuts him off.]
Jesus: "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit."
Inside-Nick (sarcastically): Well that clears everything up. What is he talking about? The water in which we are carried before birth? The breath or spirit we inhale when we take our first breath? What does he mean?
Inside-Jesus: He looks puzzled. Doesn't he get it? People need to be changed from the inside out. It does not work just to give them a new teaching, new set of laws or even a new government. They need a transformation in their lives that can only come from God. I wonder if he's ever heard of baptism.
Inside-Nick: Do you suppose this is some veiled reference to John the Baptist? John baptized people with water, but he also said that someone greater was coming after him who would baptize us with the Holy Spirit. Is that what Jesus is talking about: being baptized by someone greater than John?
Jesus: "What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit."
Inside-Nick: Now what is he talking about? He makes it sound like physical birth does not matter. But you were born a descendant of Abraham. You were born one of God's chosen people. That's why you were circumcised: to show your relationship to God in the flesh! You don't need to be re-born.
Inside-Jesus: You can tell he still doesn't get it. He thinks that life in the kingdom of God comes from being born into the right family, having the right upbringing, being an upstanding successful citizen. He can't imagine needing to be re-born.
Jesus: "Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Inside-Nick: Now he says that being born from above has to do with which way the wind blows! This is crazy. Who can steer the wind? If having a place in the kingdom of God is dependent on which way the wind blows, what can we do? Why spend your life worshiping God, studying the scripture, praying, bringing offerings, and trying to do what is right, if in the end you have no more control over your destiny than over the weather? Ask him that.
Nicodemus: "How can these things be?"
Inside-Jesus: You might as well give up on this guy. All he asks is how: "How can one be born again?" "How can these things be?" He still thinks of eternal life as a human achievement, like a merit badge. He would be thrilled if you gave him a list of rituals to perform or commandments to obey. That's what he was looking for when he called you a teacher. He will never understand the idea of grace.
Jesus: "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?"
Inside-Nick (sarcastically): Oh, so he has been talking about earthly things so far? Being born from above, being born of water and the Spirit, comparing the Spirit to the blowing of the wind-he considers these earthly things? I can hardly wait until he starts talking about heaven.
Jesus: "No one has ascended into heaven."
Inside-Nick: That's right. None of us knows what heaven is like. All we have is this physical, earthly life down here. (To Nicodemus) He wants you to be born from above, but this life down here is all we know. The commandments given to Moses, the rituals we are taught in the law, the offerings we are told to bring to the temple-these are the only links to God we have. Ask him what he propose to take their place.
[Nicodemus starts to ask a question, but Jesus holds up a hand to stop him.]
Jesus: "No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man."
Inside-Nick: Son of Man? Who is this Son of Man? The prophet Daniel spoke of a "Son of Man" coming on the clouds of heaven to judge the world, but that is in the future. Jesus talks as if the Son of Man has already come. Did you notice how he used the past tense: "the one who descended from heaven"? Who in history has ever descended from heaven? Who would want to? I thought the goal was for all of us to get to heaven.
Inside-Jesus: Now he is really confused. He is wondering who would give up the status of heaven for the sake of coming down into the world. Tell him what happens next.
Jesus: "And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."
Inside-Nick: This guy jumps all over the place. First he talks about being born again. Then about baptism. Then he jumps to this "Son of Man" who comes down from heaven. And now he is talking about snakes! He is referring, of course, to the time when the Israelites on their way to the Promised Land turned away from God and suffered an infestation poisonous snakes. But God saved them from the snakes by telling Moses to make an image of a snake out of bronze and hang it on a pole. When people looked at the snake on the pole they were healed of their snake bites. Why that worked I have no idea. It's a weird story. But what does it have to do with this "Son of Man" Jesus talks about? Is he saying that the Son of Man will come down from heaven not to judge the world but to be hung up on a pole?
[Nicodemus starts to ask a question, but Jesus cuts him off.]
Jesus: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
[Nicodemus again starts to ask a question, but Jesus goes on.]
Jesus: "For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him."
Inside-Nick: You sure don't get to ask many questions around here. Okay, so what have we got? Jesus says that none of us can reach God by the works we do in the flesh. But God has sent his Son in the flesh, even to the point of hanging him on a pole, so that by looking to him and trusting in him, we might be part of God's eternal kingdom. Is that what he is saying?
Inside-Jesus: Good. He has quit asking questions and started thinking.
Inside-Nick: I'm confused. All our lives we Pharisees have tried to do the right thing. We looked for rules and rituals to follow so that we might be part of God's kingdom. But now this Rabbi tells us that the key to heaven is not what we do for God but what God has done for us.
Inside-Jesus: Ah, you can see that the wheels in his head are starting to turn.
Inside-Nick: He says that to see the Kingdom of God we must be born from above. But he never explains what that means. Then he starts talking about the Son of Man who comes down from heaven and gets hung up on a pole to give people eternal life. Is that what he means to be born from above: that if we quit trusting in the flesh-in our human ancestry or religious affiliation or our exemplary life-if we quit trusting in our human power to achieve the Kingdom of God, we may finally receive it as a gift given to us through God's Son who is hung up on a pole to save us? Is that what he is talking about?
Inside-Jesus: I think he is starting to get it.
Inside-Nick: Come on, we better get back. We've got a lot to think about.
[Inside-Nick leads Nicodemus off stage left.]
Inside-Jesus (watching them go): Well, for Nicodemus it looks like the jury is still out. But I suspect God is not finished with him yet.

This weekend we hosted a wedding shower for Chiara and Ryan, one of the finest couples with the most impeccable taste. The groomsmen tried to hire an elephant and bring in a Dance Dance Revolution game for a Pokemon themed shower so the party planning was pretty much left to the bridesmaids.
Guys – this shower was SO GOOD. After buying every hydrangea the flower market had to offer, I knew it was going to be a good day. The olive oil favors and the mimosas were my favorite part.
But you might be surprised to learn that funneling olive oil into small vessels is an unexpectedly scientific and oily experience. I was patting myself on the back for finding a perfect funnel that fit like a glove into the mouth of the bottle. But that was so wrong. As it turns out, olive oil is super viscous. If the funnel fits perfectly, once the olive oil makes its way in, air can't escape the bottle so the oil just sits atop the funnel and eventually overflows all over your hands and the counter because, instead of paying attention to the task at hand, you are paying attention to your dog eating broccoli off the floor. Don't worry, though. If you just stick a straw through the funnel, you'll be in a good spot.
Congratulations, Chiara & Ryan!!

Many organizations have implemented Citrix Virtual Apps to reduce their physical infrastructure while increasing the manageability and flexibility of their computing environment. At the same time, the inherent complexity of virtualization and app streaming has led to persistent challenges when it comes to enterprise printing. This has prompted some of those organizations to compile and adopt Citrix Virtual Apps printing best practices that have helped to smooth a few of the wrinkles in their print environments.
Through our work with customers intent on addressing their unique Citrix Virtual Apps printing challenges, we at PrinterLogic have compiled our own brief but hopefully handy list of some of those best practices.
1. Minimize the number of print drivers. Drivers account for something like 90% of issues and instabilities in any print environment, so keeping them to a minimum should help to limit the number of error-causing variables while improving manageability. Thinning them out might be a time-consuming process, but it will be worth it in the end. You'll want to update outdated drivers to a consistent version, delete drivers for printers that are no longer in use, or switch to manufacturers' universal drivers where possible.
This is a best practice that extends far beyond Citrix printing to enterprise printing in general, making it a first and fundamental step in any list. It also informs some of the other Citrix Virtual Apps printing best practices below.
2. Enable the Citrix Universal Print Server. By using the Citrix Universal Print Server, you address the printer driver issue I just mentioned. It avoids you having to install device-specific drivers and replaces them with a single native driver solution that also optimizes network utilization for print data traffic. That means, in addition to improved manageability and stability, you could also see speedier printing and less bandwidth usage throughout your organization.
One drawback to the Citrix Universal Print Server is that not all printers are fully compatible with its default formats. It might require purchasing new hardware or finding workarounds. Another thing to bear in mind is that the Citrix Universal Print Server has some strict software requirements and needs extensive policy configuration to work smoothly. I suggest consulting Citrix's excellent Virtual Apps support documentation for the recommended settings.
3. Use session printers. This might be a matter of opinion rather than a hard and fast rule, but many experienced Citrix admins will advise using session printers instead of printer redirection (also called auto-creation in Citrix printing parlance).
Why? Because of the extra steps and extra load involved in printer redirection. When a client with three printers logs on, each of those printers is automatically mapped on the server—even if the user only intends to use one of them. And if you're using native drivers, they will be automatically loaded too. This runs contrary to the "minimal drivers" approach and, given the many Citrix Virtual Apps printing issues that drivers can cause, it creates the potential for spooler crashes, printer errors and server hangs.
Unless your organization has an unavoidable need for printer redirection, session printers are likely your best bet.
4. If print drivers are a must, use native drivers and isolate them. When using device-specific drivers in preference to the Citrix Universal Print Server, it's important to make sure that the drivers are designed for your particular server infrastructure and your particular machines. This might seem painfully obvious, but it's very common to find a lingering driver still in use, even though its printer model or server version was retired long ago.
Starting with Windows Server 2008 R2, admins gained the ability to isolate certain print drivers. Should any problems arise, isolation will keep their effects confined to an individual user instead of causing the print spooler to crash and affecting all users.
5. Take advantage of tools that test your Citrix Virtual Apps printing environment. Citrix offers a couple of software tools that can put certain aspects of your print environment to the test for robustness and compatibility. One of them is StressPrinters, which, like the name suggests, will subject your drivers to several rounds of stress tests to see how they handle loads and interact with various Citrix printing components. This tool can determine how long it takes for a printer to be auto-created, for example, or if the driver causes the print spooler to stop responding.
A second tool is Print Detective. As a complement to StressPrinters, this can help you troubleshoot poorly coded or incompatible drivers by determining whether they are non-native or non-Citrix. You can also use Print Detective to delete drivers that are unwanted, unused or not designed for Citrix printing.
While this list of Citrix Virtual Apps printing best practices is by no means comprehensive, it should provide a solid basis for troubleshooting your own print environment and resolving some of the more universal challenges of Citrix printing.
Still stumped? Need expert advice on a particular printing problem in your Citrix Virtual Apps environment?

Unleashing Category Sales
Dog collars, leashes and harnesses are essentials, bringing high margins to specialty pet retailers and traffic through their doors.
It may seem a bit of a stretch at first blush, but trends in dog collars, leashes and harnesses are oddly similar to those in the women's shoes category. For many women, shoes serve a variety of functions, ideally all at the same time. They should look fashionable and attractive, and be comfortable and easy to wear, all the while keeping the wearer's feet safe and protected from the elements and errant mishaps. These are the same qualities pet owners are seeking in collars, leashes and harnesses.
Gone are the days when dog owners just grabbed any old leash or collar without giving much thought to anything other than keeping their pet safely tethered. Now, thanks to manufacturer advancements in fabric and technology, consumers can select from an almost unlimited array of designs, patterns, colors, materials and hardware, along with various built-in safety and comfort features for both canines and humans. Additionally, there has been an intensified focus on quality, durability and strength.
Sara Schrekenhofer, advertising manager/graphic designer for Leather Brothers, Inc.—the Conway, Ark.-based manufacturer of Omni Pet brand products—points out that these products are a staple in any pet specialty store. "While the pet industry has continued to grow every year, collars and leads have continued to grow by leaps and bounds," says Schrekenhofer. "Pet owners are purchasing collars and leads for every occasion, according to their needs and desires."
So, just what seems to be important to pet owners when it comes to products in these categories; what are their needs and desires?
"The consistent trend we're seeing is that consumers are looking for products that make time spent with their dog not only safe but fun," says John Hatcher, president of EzyDog, which makes a line of rugged, functional outdoor lifestyle products for dogs and their owners. "Consequently, it's helpful for a retailer to provide solutions for their customers that will result in the most enjoyable experience for them with their dog."
Safety has become increasingly important to dog owners, especially since so many walk their dogs after sundown. As such, products that improve visibility, such as reflective materials or LED lighting, are becoming popular.
At the same time, more dog owners are expressing their personality—and their pets'—through these items, says Giannina Feuerstein, marketing manager for Flexi North America, LLC, in Charlotte, N.C. The company, headquartered in Bargteheide, Germany, makes a variety of retractable leashes.
"For some, a leash is just a necessity for walking their dog," says Feuerstein. "But for a growing number of consumers, a leash is part of their individuality, and they own different leashes to suit their styles."
Consequently, the idea of one style fits all is no longer in play, says Larry Cobb, CEO of The Company of Animals, a provider of pet training and behavior products with U.S. offices in Davenport, Fla. Variety in these product categories has blossomed, says Cobb, in deference to the many unique breed combinations and the wide array of lifestyles, personalities and temperaments of both dogs and their owners.
Related to this desire to express oneself through these products is the focus on style, a trend that's been gaining traction for a while. This has resulted in rising demand for high-fashion items, says Alisha Navarro, president/CEO of 2 Hounds Design, a Monroe, N.C., company that makes harnesses, leashes and collars. According to Navarro, consumers have increasingly come to consider these items as part of their dog's wardrobe, and as such, seem willing to pay more for the right look.
They are also willing to pay for better quality. "The market is experiencing a greater focus on quality as the [lower-priced] items are often associated with a lower quality," says Feuerstein. "Long term, this leads to dissatisfaction on all sides."
Education and Involvement
Lanette Fidrych agrees that people are becoming less price-sensitive. Fidrych, president of Cycle Dog-Earth Friendly Pet Company, a Portland, Ore.-based company that makes, among other products, earth-friendly dog collars and leashes, says she's seeing a trend toward higher-end collars and leashes that last longer and incorporate more features, providing more satisfying outcomes.
But steering customers to higher-quality, safer items still requires a measure of involvement on the part of pet specialty retailers. Len Horowitz, founder/CEO of 4 Paws Tech—a New York-based company that offers LED and reflective wearables for dogs—says that consumers are looking for that perfect combination of quality, ease of use and simplicity in design and, of course, "the cool factor."
"As families with pets are on the rise, equating to over 65 percent of U.S. households, dogs are reaching a staggering number of more than 70 million—that's a lot of cute, cuddly faces," he explains.
Still, Horowitz adds, there is an abundance of collars, leashes and harnesses on the market, good and bad alike. He is concerned (as are other manufacturers) that inexpensively made products with inferior materials put both humans and dogs at risk, for example by enabling the dog to get loose.
"Pet parents need to ask themselves if saving a few dollars is worth putting Ranger or Sparky in harm's way. By educating the public that a collar isn't just a collar, we're finding demand is increasing," says Horowitz.
Consumers want value; products that are worth the price, says Hatcher. With the abundance of products on the market, it is up to manufacturers and retailers to understand how many consumers are defining value today and to effectively transmit product features and benefits of a leash, collar or harness that the pet owner might not be aware of.
Knowing the Customer
One way to initiate customer education is by engaging them in conversation about their pets, helping to direct them to appropriate choices. Along with asking them about the age, gender, breed and size/weight of their pet, Feuerstein suggests that retailers inquire about the dog's activity level, the time of day the customer walks the dog, and the pet's behavior.
Sales associates should aim to get as much detail about pet owners' lifestyles as possible. "For example, are you activity-driven, such as hiking or traveling? Or, is your lifestyle more connected to walking around the neighborhood and the occasional dog park visit?" Cobb says. "Also, does your dog have any walking problems you'd like to address, such as tugging at a lead or trying to stray away from the walking path?"
Cobb says employees should be certain to ask customers why they're looking for a particular product, mentioning that the most common training issues driving dog owners into the store are problems walking their pet on a leash. With summer coming, and more dog owners hitting the trails and walkways with their pets, now is the time for retailers to wring the most action out of this category, particularly since walking and training products generally command higher price points compared to other items, he adds.
Cobb suggests running special offers during the warm-weather months, promoting these as "summertime essentials." Other ideas include:
• Display multiple products per style, says Fidrych. Once a selection starts looking picked over, replenish it rather than leaving just one leash, collar or harness on display; which is likely to go un-purchased. "No one picks the last nacho on the plate," she explains.
• Put the LED products on dog mannequins and display them lit (even in the daytime) in windows, at checkout counters and in the aisles, says Horowitz, adding that awareness leads to sales. Also, explain to customers that their LED collars are not novelty items, but are meant to be worn full-time, he adds.
• Allow dogs to try on the merchandise, says Cobb. This is especially important when it comes to ensuring the right fit. "And, a fitting session also allows staff members the opportunity to detail the advantages of a particular product that otherwise may be overlooked," he says. (Also, says Schrekenhofer, inform customers that as dogs grow, the fit will likely change, requiring different sized collars and harnesses. And be sure to convey to customers the correct way to measure the dog's neck.)
• Notice where customers are going in your store, says Navarro. "If there's one area that gets a lot of traffic, put your high-margin items—like leashes, collars and harnesses—in that area. Also, don't discount the impulse purchase," she reminds. "For example, if you have customers coming in for consumables on a weekly basis, get these other items in front of them to get that impulse purchase."
• Feature a comprehensive assortment of sizes, styles and colors. "This always makes for a more compelling story and shows the retailer believes in the product and so should the customer," Hatcher says, explaining that not featuring a full presentation results in a poor performance when customers can't find what they want. "Also, creating a 'house' leash, collar or harness for customers to use when they enter the store is a great way to give them a first-hand experience with the product," he adds.
• Create colorful POP displays and utilize signage and display headers, all of which are essential, says Schrekenhofer. Make sure sizing is visible and easy to find and understand. Regularly introduce new, on-trend products to keep the assortment current and drive traffic. And re-arrange your layouts and displays, which will also keep them fresh looking and customers interested.
"The main thing to keep in mind with collars, leads and harnesses is that they require personal attention from employees if you want to keep this section organized and clean," Schrekenhofer adds. "Keep the section from becoming a jumbled, overwhelming mess to customers. We recommend checking on this area daily or every other day in order to maintain the organization that will lead to higher sales."

When I was a little girl, my room was wallpapered with different shades of pink and I even had pink tiles behind my radiator. I had pink sheets, and I think I wore a lot of pink. This worked for many years of my childhood but then as I grew and my taste evolved.
Why am I discussing the color pink, well it isn't just about the color. I know color a lot since it is a huge part of everyone's wedding. We design our flowers off this, invites, napkins, dresses and so forth but I guess I wanted to remind my couples and couples who are just starting to work with a color not over do it. Pink might be your FAVORITE color in the world but what your soon to be spouses? Whenever you are sitting there designing through your wedding day, remember to pause and ask how much is too much? If you have more than your eyes can take in, then it might be time to scale back a tiny bit at least. Make your favorite color stand out by using contrasting color, or complementary colors.

Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic omitted from Newcombe medal nominees
Controversial duo Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic have been left off the list of six nominees for the Newcombe Medal, awarded to the "most outstanding elite tennis player and ambassador" in Australia.
Kyrgios received a 28-day suspended sentence and was fined $US25,000 ($A35,600) for making offensive comments in a match against Swiss star Stan Wawrinka.
Tomic was dumped from the Australian Davis Cup team for the quarter-final against Kazakhstan following a rant against senior Tennis Australia officials at Wimbledon.
The pair are Australia's highest ranked male tennis players with Tomic ranked at 18, and Kyrgios 30.
The six nominees for the Newcombe Medal are Samantha Stosur, Thanasi Kokkinakis, Casey Dellacqua, Sam Groth, Dylan Alcott and John Peers.
Stosur, 27th on the women's single rankings, won clay tournaments in France and Austria this year. Alcott captured the US Open for wheelchair athletes and several other titles during the year.
Nineteen-year-old Kokkinakis sits at 78th on the men's rankings after reaching a career high of 64 during the year. Sam Groth had a breakthrough year in 2015 taking part in Australia's Davis Cup campaign and rising to a current world ranking of 60.
Dellacqua and Peers have had strong years on the doubles court. Dellacqua reached the finals of the US Open doubles with Yaroslava Shvedova.
Peers, playing with Jamie Murray, reached the Wimbledon and US Open doubles finals.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Compatibility View
We are working on a demo for a customer, and the lead asked me if I have done any code changes on the Opportunity OnLoad event, where i responded to no changes on the OnLoad event, after that I asked what was the issue and he just show me the following error message
I was looking at the Privacy settings that I just blogged about and was not related to that issue, also I check the settings for Internet Explorer in my case I'm using IE 10 and not the laters, so I change the Compatibility Settings and it seems that was the solution.
What are the Internet Explorer Compatibility settings and where to find them?
- use the ALT key to get to the tool bar for IE
- Select the Tools tab
- Under the Tools Tab you can find the Compatibility View Settings like show in the following image
- Click on the Compatibility View Settings
- The following form will show to add the website
- Click on the Add button to add the website
- Also check the option with the message "Display all websites in Compatibility View"
- Click on the Close button to complete the process
That seems to eliminate the issue with the Opportunity refresh behavior, however I seen some interesting behavior on other IE versions and it seems will not work for other versions like IE 11.
Hope this will help you to discipate some of the most common user distractions and support calls for the same IE behavior.
Please send me your comments and questions or other tips to eliminate some of these issues.

Another day, another group of angry Chinese travellers causing a commotion somewhere in the world. This time, a group of tourists from Shanghai, Sichuan and Shenzhen staged a protest at Singapore's Changi Airport after a lengthy delay of their Hong Kong Airlines flight.
Passengers say they were treated unprofessionally by airline staff who pretended they could not speak Mandarin Chinese. They continued to be ignored after sending a representative among them who was fluent in English to negotiate with the airline, they said.
Eventually, they decided that if they could not fly, they would stop other passengers from flying too. The group of 100 over tourists held up signs accusing Hong Kong Airlines of lying to them and blocked other passengers from getting to their boarding gates.
In a scuffle between the Chinese tourists and another group of passengers, one elderly woman fell and injured her hand. Airport police had to be called in to diffuse the situation, but were later accused of assaulting the passengers and threatening them with guns and handcuffs.
The kerfuffle caused an extra two-hour delay on top of the seven hours they had already been waiting, and when they finally touched down in Hong Kong 5.30am on Wednesday, the irate passengers decided they hadn't had enough, and continued with their protest by refusing to get off the plane.
Hong Kong airport staff decided to call in the police, and after a 90 minute standoff, the passengers agreed to disembark, but continued to stage their sit-in inside the airport, complaining to the journalists who had by this time arrived to hear their grievances.
The protest only ended after Hong Kong Airlines upped its compensation from HK$400 to HK$1,200 per passenger.
The Singapore Police Force, said that following a review of CCTV footage, its staff were found to have acted "professionally" and "did not use a trolley to push it into the group".
CNN notes that the tourists would likely have been better off if they'd been travelling within the EU, which requires airlines to compensate passengers between $330 and $800 for flight delays above two hours. The United States, on the other hand, has no federal regulations on delay compensations.

"The female genome is hardwired for bitching. It's the way they have gotten what they wanted since the dawn of humankind. They cannot stop."
Society's nurturing of women's perpetual sense of victimhood at the expense of men's rights and freedom is downright sickening and it is, believe it or not, one of many characteristics of a civilization heading for a fall because once masculinity is threatened and eventually handicapped god help that boulder rolling ferociously downhill. It is true that every empire is bound to fall only to be succeeded by a rising one but it would be a shame to see the greatest civilization in human history, the western civilization, collapse on pins and needles of femininity and SJWs malediction.
The Harvey Weinstein sexual assault accusations, which sprouted the recent #metoo "movement," is a glaring example of women's moral ineptitude and lack of accountability. However, to be surprised by this is to cut my own legs from under me every time I talk about these issues. A group of people whose human quality missed the mark on responsibility should be the last group of people you'd expect to hold up the moral code of self-accountability. They run for the hills once the question of self-accountability poses itself and with the case at hand it's no different. We are once again seeing the adjudication of masculinity under the severe injustice of the female god that has a tight grip on the wheel of a ship that heads steadfastly towards the iceberg.
A Hollywood movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein, is the recent sacrificial lamb at the female alter. Just as we saw with Bill Cosby, Trump, Bill O, and others, the same movie is playing out in front of our eyes yet again; a movie whose special cast is hoards of whores who 20-some-odd-years ago climbed their way to the top by allowing wealthy men to make use of their pussies at will in exchange for fame and opportunities, coming out after all these years to claim they were raped and sexually abused by these men, and society is lapping it up as they usually do when women make their interminable complaints. Through voluntary sexual encounters with these men, many of these women are now rich and famous, many obtained movie roles and parts that weren't earned through talents, many got TV shows and TV time they didn't work for, many got financial assistance with no effort, and others got the opportunity to rub shoulders with the rich and the powerful, and so on. As Ashley Judd, one of Weinstein accusers who offered to have sex with Harvey to avoid rape, claimed, ""He kept coming at me with all this other stuff, and finally I just said, 'When I win an Oscar in one of your movies, okay?'" Judd said. "And he was like, 'Yeah, when you get nominated.' And I said, 'No! When I win an Oscar." We've heard this song play out many times and it's getting old. There are similar stories such as this, some of which these women return on several occasions to pay these men visits. I mean, these women hate being raped so much that they couldn't help but return to their "rapist" to ask for more.
In the potent words of ManWomanMyth…

How To Probate a Will
A will cannot transfer property, so probate is generally necessary even with a will, though it depends on the value and the nature of the property. For smaller estates, there is a less formal procedure that must be followed before the deceased's property can be legally distributed. But even that is still under the general supervision of the probate court.
If a person dies with a will, a court generally has to provide an opportunity for others to object to the will, and if there are any objections, determine if the will is valid. Some things that can invalidate a will:
- A more recent will (which, if valid, replaces the older will).
- The will was made at a time the deceased was not mentally competent to make a will.
- The will was the result of fraud, mistake, or "undue influence."
- The will was not properly executed.
- The will is a forgery.
- For some other reason (such as a pre-existing contract) the will is not fully valid.
- There are other claims against the deceased's estate that impact what the beneficiaries would receive under the will.
For example, if the deceased owned real estate in his own name, no knowledgeable outside person would accept title to the property, and no bank would lend a new buyer mortgage money on it, unless the estate went through probate so "clear title" could be given to the new owner.
Similarly, few outsiders would enter into any other transactions involving the deceased's property before the will is "admitted to probate" and someone is lawfully appointed to act for the estate. Feel free to contact us for more information on How To Probate a Will.
