Register today!
Wednesday, July 18th
Today we'll spend the morning learning about pets and what they can teach us about being kinder to one another from an educator at the CALGARY HUMANE SOCIETY. Once this classroom session at the Calgary MFRC is over, we'll head to the Humane Society for a tour. We are having lunch and spending the afternoon at the SASKATOON FARM. No need to pack an afternoon snack, hopefully, we'll pick enough berries that we bring some home to share. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring your hat, sunscreen and water bottle today.
Register today!
Thursday, July 19th
We're going back in time to learn 'How the West Was Once' at HERITAGE PARK. You'll be amazed how time flies when we're having a good, old-fashioned fun. Pack your sunscreen and water bottle and wear comfy shoes today – no sandals please, they're no fun on dirt roads. Also, make sure to bring your hat. No respectable lady or gentleman of the past would be caught without one. Make sure you pack a lunch today but save some room as we'll all get Tasty Treat Coupons good for one of the following: an ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn, or cookies fresh from the bakery.

Like true cowgirls and cowboys we're up with the sun today! The bus leaves the Calgary MFRC at 8:00 a.m. to take us to the mountains for a day of Horseback Riding at BOUNDARY RANCH. We'll be splitting the group in two, so as not to tire the horses out too badly. While one group rides, the other will spend the morning swimming at the STONEY NAKODA HOTEL. After lunch at the resort, the groups will switch. Make sure to wear long pants and a hat today, and pack your bathing suit, towel, water bottle, and sunscreen. We'll be back at the Calgary MFRC at 5:00 p.m.

Better be on your toes this morning! We're starting the day off with a session at BREATH PARKOUR. You'll definitely work up an appetite with all that jumping around, so we're stopping at Coco Brooks for a pizza lunch. Then break out your snazziest 1950s fashions, because we're going BOWLING this afternoon. If you can't find anything in your closet, don't worry. The rented shoes are retro enough! We won't be outside much today, but make sure you bring a water bottle.
Register today!
Friday, August 17th
What better way to celebrate the end of the Calgary MFRC summer camps than with a trip to CALAWAY PARK? We'll spend all day riding rides and having so much fun! Lunch will be provided. It's always a little hotter at Calaway Park than in the rest of the city, so sunscreen, a hat and a water bottle are all a must.

Phonat: Fire (Jesse Slayter & PLS&TY Remix)
Do not leave this remix in the fireplace tonight. Santa is a pretty remarkable guy, but this fire may be too hot even for him. Jesse Slayter & PLS&TY's remix of "Fire" is more flammable than a case of Duraflame logs. Cozy up to the download available exclusively through OWSLA's Nestivus where you can donate to the wonderful Bridges for Music organization!

The annual PebbleCreek Men's Golf Association Member-Member tourney was played March 8, 9 and 15, utilizing both Eagle's Nest and Tuscany Falls courses. Compared to 2017 there were a few repeat winners but mostly different winners. The scores were quite higher especially for the blue flights where the winning scores averaged 10 strokes higher.
A total of 114 two-man teams competed in eight flights with four flights playing from the blue tees and four flights playing from the white tees. Interesting to note that 52 teams played from the blue tees and 62 teams from the white tees. In 2017 those numbers were just the reverse. The Blue Flights played the Eagle's Nest/Tuscany Falls/Eagle's Nest rotation and the White Flights played the Tuscany Falls/Eagle's Nest/Tuscany Falls rotation. A scramble was the format for round one. One best-ball net was the format for round two. Two net-aggregate was the format for the third round.
A delicious lunch was served in the Tuscany Ballroom after play on the final day. The annual PCMGA member meeting was then held to discuss pending issues. Officers for the 2018-2019 season were elected. Congratulations to Ed Stadjuhar (President), John Low (Vice President), Jim Sheard (Secretary) and Mike McMahon (returning as Treasurer). They take office on June 1. Each playing member received a Greg Norman jacket as a tee prize.
We had our second PCMGA hole-in-one during the final round. Keith Tingelhoff aced the fourth hole on the Palms course from the white tees. Congrats to Keith! Regrets to Bill Anderson as he now has to share the annual prize.

Infold Shower Door 760 - You need to reach your choices based on your individual strategy, when imagining your shower. In the event you are a nature lover you should configure the bathroom with really earthy parts like, pebbles upon the decking generating the visual aspect of river rock. You will have the capacity to heighten the beauty of your walk in the shower by utilizing add-ons assorted articles like animal structures, and so forth. And should you decide on a decorative enclosure, you will need to be particular with all the doors also.
Since your shower area is a completely wet space, your doors must be water resistant. To feel the joy of the warming shower, you should be careful of the steam not getting out through the doors. Attention must be given to sealing the doors to the sides of the shower using a weather strip.
Whenever you get a kit that is premade subsequently obtain the shower door constructed specifically for the shower from the maker. Keep 2 things in your mind when choosing doors for your shower space: set up and design. For example, the flair may be plain, but the door could possess extra panels connected in set up.
Keep some standards in mind which could possibly be useful in selection when deciding on outside for the shower space. An array of colors and patterns are ready in the plan of the doors you choose. Your shower space could possibly be furnished with styles and assorted colors of glass. Transparency of glass also deviates such as deco obscure and clear. Employment of vinyl seals function good for steam shower doors and heighten the beauty of your shower room also.

Best Buy is having a number of laptops starting as low as $380. The specials are good for the whole week, until May 30, 2009.
Move over Netbooks, Here come the Single Cores at $350
These include, a couple of single-core Celeron models for $350, namely the Toshiba L305-S5919 and the Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX. Even though both include 2gb of memory, we strongly recommend not getting a single-core processor these days unless you absolutely don't need to do anything remotely processor-intensive on these laptops. They do run Vista Basic which should help as it is not as bloated as Vista Premium or higher, but still, Vista is Vista.
As you can see, the netbooks are getting a run for their money, since you can get full-sized laptops for the same price, or even less when you compare to some of the more "designer" netbooks. After all, the netbooks have 1gb or less memory and a single-core processor too.
So keep that in mind, if obviously the laptop size is not an issue, which is (in theory at least) one of the strong points of netbooks.
Dual-core laptops at $400
As you can see, an extra $50 can get you your choice of two dual-core processors, from the same two manufacturers. The two being the Satellite L305-S5944 and the Presario CQ60-215DX. And better yet, one uses the Intel processor (Toshi) and one uses the AMD (Compaq). So there you go, you even have real choice between the two :)
In theory, the AMD-based laptops eat up more memory and heat up faster, but with so many processors, chipsets and laptop designs, this really is more of a general statement, if not stereotype, if nothing else. So be sure to look into the particular models you are interested in, to make sure you get the right facts about them.

There are certain knowledge passed to us from antiquity that seems very strange to us in the twenty first century. Often arrogantly we dub them as false and myth. Not necessarily. For example, the effect of planetary movement (like sun and moon) on human (or animal) behavior. Today's science might not be mature enough to brand this effect of planetary movement on human as myth. The reality, however is that very often the science elders rush to declare such subjects as myth and legends on the basis that there is no evidence that can be proved in our laboratories today. This is akin to a primary math student making fun of a university math professor. This does not mean that all information we get from antiquity are 100% accurate.
Often religious sources -if authentic- are very helpful in validating these claims. If we take the case of the effect of moon on our mood, we can validate the connection through Islamic sources. How?
In Islam there is the concept of Ayyam al-Beedh meaning the days in which the moon is full i.e., nights of 13,14, and 15 of the lunar month. On these three days it is recommended to fast. What is fasting in Islam? It is abstinence from food and sex during the day. This has effect on regulating and controlling behavior, because over consumption of food and sex are the mother of many moral degradations. So, the full moon affects our hormones in pituitary glands (like tidal force on water level) and brings instability in our mood and behavior, and that is why during this time fasting is very helpful to keep us on track and guard us against this instability of hormones.
Through this small case study, I wanted to point out to those who worship modern science, and request them to be more humble and open-minded to research topics similar to one I described here, instead of rushing too arrogantly to reject all knowledges which brought to us by religious and traditional sources. Much energy and resources of the secular scientific communities today are wasted in refuting religious information, which if otherwise, were invested in researching the validity of such topics would have brought about many new discoveries.

Magic Dirt Video
Hey, there's a video for the first single from the forthcoming Magic Dirt album. View it here.
Ok, some explanation is in order. You know how you keep buying Sonic Youth albums even though they haven't done anything worthwhile since [fill in the blank].
So my situation with Magic Dirt is similar. They put out some incredible stuff before going for the gold in Australia. As best I can tell, they've done well for themselves there. Over their past three releases they've gotten awfully, awfully, awfully mainstream, to the point where their new fans would probably be very surprised to hear their early material. So they're not really the group I used to love, but somehow I still manage to enjoy their albums. There are tiny flashes of their old guitar sound and it's all very nicely put together in a hard rock top 40 way. Adalita and Co. look great in the new video. Like Rockstars. (And they still release the odd b-side from time to time that harks back to the old days.)
So, you know, I'm happy for them. Indulge me. You don't have to watch the video unless you're already invested. I have no doubt that under certain circumstances (probably involving beer or a car) Locket could be the greatest song on earth.
[Fans of US hard rock/power pop may actually quite like this. I'm still not clear on why Magic Dirt get, like, no attention whatsoever in the US.]

The Zebra Mussel is a freshwater filter-feeder which was introduced to Europe in the ballast water of ships travelling from Russia. This mussel is highly invasive - one mature Zebra Mussel can produce over one million eggs, giving rise to an entire new population!
What impact does it have?
The Zebra Mussel has an extremely large capacity to filter water, reducing the availability of nutrients and oxygen to our native aquatic wildlife. It also out-competes and displaces some of our native mussel species – even sometimes attaching to the native species and effectively 'stealing' the passing nutrients leaving the victim to starve!
Our economy doesn't escape the effects of the Zebra Mussel. With its prolific breeding, this invasive mussel clogs water pipes, filters and turbines damaging our infrastructure. Furthermore it disrupts recreation, fishing and aquaculture industries growing on equipment and boats.
So what's being done?
With so many invasive species attacking our local ecosystems it can sometimes feel like we are fighting a losing battle. Control and eradication options are often costly, labour-intensive and limited in the effect they can have in open habitats.
So for this week's species we did a bit more research to demonstrate that there is work on new technologies and options for controlling these problematic invaders.
The most common methods of control for the zebra mussel are as follows:
However, some new technologies have recently been developed that are not only exciting but also give rise to hopes that the mussel can be removed effectively and a at a reasonable cost.
For example, a new biological environmentally compatible product has been developed specifically to control invasive zebra mussel – Zequanox©.
This product is derived from a naturally occurring microbe – Pseudomonas fluorescens – containing dead cells of the microbe which mussels readily consume with their normal phytoplankton diet from the water. However, the active ingredient in Zequanox© then deteriorates the mussel's digestive lining causing death. Highly selective and proven to leave other species unharmed!
However perhaps more exciting is the development of seismic energy in invasive aquatic species control. There has been major progress in the use of sound energy to control invasive species: either by altering fish behaviour, serving as a barrier in rivers, or disrupting their organ function. It is hoped that the use of the right seismic energy waves may be able to selectively target Zebra Mussels in all life stages from larvae to adult!
These new technologies and increased biosecurity give Europe hope when facing this striped-invasion. But everyone can play their part to reduce the spread of the Zebra Mussel. If you participate in water recreation activities, take time to check you have no hitch hikers on your equipment when moving from place to place. And if you spot one – let us know with our Smartphone app!

Our Playbook is a living document. As our company grows, our Playbook will change.
There are hundreds of thousands of companies that rely on software but do not necessarily sell software as a product or service. These tech-enabled businesses may not require full time engineering teams to operate and grow.
There are also thousands of companies where software is the actual product, and these businesses can scale quickly once finding product market fit. They often can't hire fast enough, and need additional design and development resources as they scale.
Whether your company is tech enabled business or you're busy starting the next Unicorn, there is immense value in working with a group of specialists like us that can help fill the gaps as you grow.
We help companies and entrepreneurs by specializing in three kinds of work.
1. Designing software through User Experiences and User Interfaces.
2. Reading and discussing software through discovery sessions and software audits.
3. Building software by writing and testing code.
We also help our clients launch their product, recruit designers and developers, and advise on future projects and initiatives. We consider ourselves your company's direct technical extension.
We're headquartered in NYC and are remote friendly. We work in our office and occasionally on-site with our clients. We like working with smart, entrepreneurial, and open-minded people and companies. You could be a very small organization, in fact, just yourself, or you could be a Fortune 100 company. What matters is how passionately you care about building a good software product.
We charge for our time by the week or month. With clients working with us on a retainer, we charge by the day. We don't work hourly.
We like working in teams. Our ideal team per project is 1 Software Architect, 1 Project Manager, and 1-2 designers or developers. We believe in pairing programming too. We like to pair on design, development, QA and all other phases of writing software.
We value our "headphones on" time. We work from home 1 day a week to ensure we have this time to do our best work without distractions.
We also value our meeting time together, and keep our meetings efficient. We meet each day internally to review our client work, and meet with our clients once every week or two weeks for an official Sprint meeting to demo work.
We are transparent with our communication. We create a Slack channel with each client, a shared project management board for writing user stories and discussing designs, and communicate daily about our work. We value communicating in writing and in public channels to remove friction and overhead with our team and clients.
We are often pitched equity in exchange for our work. We take equity in about one company a year, and it's usually a cash / equity split, never all equity. If taking equity, we usually ask for what most seed stage investors or accelerator programs take. We make bets primarily on founders over ideas.
We are often asked to work on-site with our clients. We're happy to do this and actually encourage it, but only after we test working together first. Sometimes other companies can have toxic work environments and habits, and we want to protect our people and process so we can design and write high quality code.
We're asked frequently about how we price our services. We like to use a mix of Time and Materials and Value-Based pricing. We can also work on a fixed budget with our clients, though this is rare and best used on small scopes of work.
We rarely sign NDA's, especially before even having a first conversation.
We're also asked how we estimate software. We're proponents of using a mix of strategies, including Evidence Based Scheduling and minding the Cone of Uncertainty.
We have a refined process for writing software. We're not dogmatic about certain styles or practices like Agile or Kanban, or even types of programming languages or frameworks. We're conscious of what really matters when writing high quality software like tests, documentation, and communication between our team and our clients.
Developing great software is both a process driven (checklists, peer review, in-person collaboration) and creative (my headphones are on...don't talk to me...) endeavor.
We encourage our clients and team to understand that software needs to be not just developed, but also maintained. Good engineers know that there's no such thing as "write once and repeat forever". Updated third party libraries can break code. Cloud based services can crash. Bugs can even exist in common software programs for decades until they're discovered and resolved. Maintaining software costs time, attention, and money. It's just as important to refactor code as it is to develop revenue driving features.
We write tests for all our code. And all kinds of tests too. Unit Tests, Integration Tests, and UAT.
We meet frequently to discuss all the software we design and develop. We've found meeting every week or two weeks with our clients is the ideal amount.
We prefer to meet face to face or over a video call. We send out notes after each meeting documenting what was discussed. Tuesdays or Thursdays are ideal days to meet, never Mondays or Fridays.
Our best clients are those who join for every Sprint and actively participate. Ideally, our clients become the project manager.
We use a mix of cloud providers to host the code we write, which is often specific to each project and each client.
We're meticulous about merging and deploying code. We use tools like Gitflow for branching, and monitor test coverage before shipping anything to production.
We're versed in multiple programming languages and frameworks, and are indifferent to any particular stack. We have our favorites, but are happy to work with specific tools if requested by our clients. We've worked with cutting edge technology as well as code that's 10+ years old.
Below are our core values. We hold each other to these standards, and encourage our clients and partners to do so too.
Be Kind
We believe in being kind to each other. Kindness is not just being pleasant. We think Andrew Bosworth best phrases what being kind actually means when he writes "Being kind isn't the same as being nice. It isn't about superficial praise. It doesn't mean dulling your opinions. And it shouldn't diminish the passion with which you present them. Being kind is fundamentally about taking responsibility for your impact on the people around you. It requires you be mindful of their feelings and considerate of the way your presence affects them." - Andrew Bosworth
Be Transparent
We believe in clear and frequent communication, with a conscious effort to do your homework before asking others for help or information - seek to understand before being understood. Being transparent implies honest communication, whether good or bad news is discussed.
Be Creatively Resourceful
We believe in creating an environment where creative resourcefulness is the standard - where open mindedness is practiced daily and people are encouraged to express their opinions while being prepared to have them challenged by others.
Be Humble
We believe in being humble when teaching, in understanding your mistakes and those of others, and when interacting with others outside of Lightmatter. Being humble implies an understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses, and that no single team member makes or breaks the team.
We partner with other consultancies, Venture Capital firms, Private Equity firms, and established startups and businesses to drive our sales. For these partners, we provide architectural evaluations for their portfolio companies and development help, interview potential candidates, and act as a technical sounding board. In exchange we seek referrals and introductions to new clients, founders, and companies. If you are interested in becoming an official partner, email us at email@example.com

Uncovering African American heroism
MIKE MCGEE | 4/3/2018, 11:16 a.m.
The Dallas Examiner
Dr. Jeff Gusky, Dallas emergency room doctor, National Geographic photographer and explorer, has traveled the world knitting together scraps of America's missing history. During the program African American Heroism And America's Racial Past held at The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture last month, the medical professional discussed what some have described as his most dramatic finding yet in his quest to further flesh out the contributions of Black Americans – a forgotten French WWI monument dedicated by members of an African American unit for their fellow soldiers killed in battle, including two Medal of Honor nominees.
"Sometimes ER docs have to rip off the Band-Aid and tell people things that are hard to hear. So tonight, I respectfully ask that I speak to you as patients in the ER," Gusky said as he addressed the audience. "Some of the stories I'll be sharing, most of them, are triumphant stories and inspiring, but some are painful and will be hard to hear."
One of the most triumphant tales the doctor told was about U.S. soldiers Freddie Stowers and Burton Holmes, two men commemorated on the aging monument. Both men died fighting during WWI and were recommended to posthumously receive the Medal of Honor.
"My story began in the mud," he said of his discoveries.
In 2014, Gusky was on assignment for The New York Times, documenting the famous Sergeant York saga in French farm country.
"I was driving a four-wheel drive Volvo and got stuck in the mud," he recalled.
That misstep led to the doctor getting assistance from a local who in turn introduced him to an older landowner whose property included an abandoned abbey where American soldiers were once housed.
While touring inside, Gusky took photos of an inscription carved into the original wood that is possibly the only surviving inscription from a Black American WWI soldier, according to his consultant, Col. Rob Dalessandro, co-author of the book Willing Patriots: Men of Color in the First World War.
The doctor had also been photographing a site over a period of two years which a French friend believed to be an underground command post of a Black American unit, the Eighth Illinois.
Gusky shared one of those photos with the colonel.
"Jeff, you have just found a needle in a haystack," the doctor recalled Dalessandro exclaimed after seeing the picture of the apparent command post. "This is not just a command post of a Black unit. This is the only all-African American unit in the U.S. military."
Germans called them "The Black Devils" because of their fierceness in combat, Gusky noted.
The doctor then took his photos and assorted data to Dr. Rex Ellis, curator with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, and Dr. Krewasky Salter, curator of Military History for the museum.
"About halfway through the meeting, Dr. Ellis tells me, 'You've stumbled onto 'I have a dream" before I Have a Dream," he said, referring to Dr. Martin Luther King's famous Washington, D.C. speech. "The unknown birth of modern civil rights.

Govt has to give affidavit for 2G inaction: SC
To fix the accountability, the court asked the government to come up with affidavit with detail explanation of the reasons of the delay on Janata Party president Subramaniam Swamy's petition seeking sanction to prosecute former Telecom Minister A Raja.
The affidavit on behalf of PM needs to be filed by Saturday, Nov 20, while the hearing on the case will be on Tuesday, Nov 23.
During the hearing on petition by Swamy, the Supreme Court on Nov 16 asked the government, "Can the sanctioning authority (Prime Minister) sit on the complaint."
Opposition parties including BJP leader LK Advani also joined the chorus as he claimed, "The Prime Minister should reply on 2G scam and clarify the stand of the government."

Churchill 'turning in his grave' as home turned into Nazi HQ with swastikas by filmmakers
SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL's former home at Blenheim Palace has been draped in swastikas as a mock up of Hitler's Nazi HQ in Transformer 5: The Last Knight and war veterans are outraged.
Churchill's birthplace has been turned into a Nazi HQ for filming
The birthplace of Britain's most iconic Prime Minister looked very different on Wednesday evening as SS stormtroopers marched in front of the entrance.
Nearby was a German anti-aircraft gun, a Panzer tank, ammo boxes with Nazi emblems and Mercedes staff cars.
The Veterans' Association UK stated that WW2 veterans "will be appalled by this."
German guns were spotted outside the stately home
Colonel Richard Kemp, the former commander of the British forces in Afghanistan, said Churchill would be turning in his grave.
He said: "I know its a film, but it's symbolically disrespectful to Churchill.
"He will be turning in his grave."
Blenheim Palace is currently owed by the 12th Duke of Marlborough, Jamie Spencer-Churchill.
The stately home and its grounds are used regularly for filming, including the latest James Bond film, Spectre.
The film in question was Michael Bay's fifth Transformers movie which will feature a successful Nazi plan to invade Great Britain.
Britain's loneliest dog is filming Transformers 5 with Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Blenheim Palace is regularly used by Hollywood movies
Transformers 5 includes a successful Nazi plot to invade Britain
The $200 million (£152 million) film is made by the LA-based di Bonaventura Pictures.
Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci will be reprising their roles from Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Express Online contacted Blenheim Palace but they refused to comment on the matter.
Transformers: The Last Knight will be released in UK cinemas June 23, 2017.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Calvin men's lacrosse team fell 8-4 in its home opener at Grand Rapids Christian high school on Saturday afternoon.
With the loss, the Knights fall to 0-2 on the season, while the Cardinals improve to 2-0.
North Central scored the first three goals to build an early lead. With just under a minute remaining in the first quarter, freshman Noah Boelens (Round Lake, Ill./Grayslake Central) fed senior Michael Winkler (La Quinta, Calif./Palm Desert) to put the Knights on the board.
Midway through the second quarter, the Cardinals scored again to regain their three-goal advantage before Boelens assisted junior Austin Bontreger (Fishers, Ind./Heritage Christian) two minutes later to make the score 4-2.
North Central responded with another goal, but Calvin sophomore Griffin Sparling (Novi, Mich./Novi) capitalized on a man-advantage opportunity to make the score 5-3. Boelens earned his third assist on the scoring play. The Cardinals scored a minute later to head into the halftime break with a 6-3 advantage.
At the half, North Central held a 23-7 shots advantage.
Calvin reduced the deficit to two goals out of the break as Winkler fed Bontreger for the Knights' fourth goal. However, the Knights were held scoreless for the remainder of the contest, while the Cardinals scored two more goals to earn a four-goal victory.
North Central outshot Calvin 50-16, while scooping up 37 ground balls compared to the Knights' 25. The Knights completed 13-22 clearing attempts, while the Cardinals completed 9-10.
Calvin goalkeeper freshman Michael Wong (Schaumburg, Ill./Schaumburg) recorded 21 saves and a team-high seven ground balls in the loss.
Bontreger led the Knights' offense with two goals on three shots. Winkler posted a team-high six shots for one goal, while also scooping up three ground balls.
Saturday's contest marked the first of a two-game home stand for the Knights as Calvin will host DePauw next Saturday. The Knights will be back in action at Grand Rapids Christian High at 1 p.m.

Trip to the Netherlands
Trip to the Netherlands
In October this year we were lucky enough to be asked to take part in an exchange visit with Live Music Now Netherlands. Unfortunately, Marianne couldn't make this trip, so it was time for Ron & Grant to take Aonach Mor to another country! We had an absolute blast while we were over there and we would like to thank everyone from Live Music Now Netherlands for their wonderful kindness and hospitality.
It was nice to see how Live Music Now operates in other countries, as well meeting some musicians and committee members from the LMN Netherlands scheme.
After arriving on the Wednesday afternoon, we were shown around some of the stunning countryside and went for a coffee on a terrace just off of a beautiful canal. That evening we did some preparation for our performances the next day. Thursday morning came, and we were off to "The Lighthouse", an English speaking school for children with autism. We did 4 short performances for each of the individual classes and let the children hear different kinds of music from Scotland and even let some of the children play our instruments!
That afternoon we went to Wassenaar where we did a performance for elderly people with dementia. This was a really enjoyable performance, and we even had the help of a translator to relate some of the stories in Dutch which was great! We had that evening off, so made the most of it and went out for dinner and saw some more incredible scenery in The Hague. On Friday, we had the pleasure of hearing meeting the OLGA Vocal Ensemble doing a performance and they were fantastic! They even did an arrangement of Loch Lomond which was a nice surprise for us to hear. Even in Holland, you are never too far from home.
After going on a boat ride around the canals in Amsterdam and checking out some of the local sights on Saturday, it was time to head home. Thanks to everyone at Live Music Now Netherlands for a wonderful trip and thanks to Live Music Now Scotland for giving us the opportunity.

Maduro reiterated that it has a national project. "We have a plan, but beyond that, we have the experience, national and international alliances, we have everything to turn this great engine, with the key players, national and major global investors from 35 countries, with our artisanal mining small and medium, to which we are giving special treatment and a clear vision of mining development, from concepts to ecosocialism biovidersidad absolute respect, "he said.

Moreover, he stressed that the presence of 150 companies in the country is a demonstration of faith and trust, to deepen the capabilities of the nation.
"This is a very important act, I want to acknowledge the presence of all investors from 35 countries, who come 150 companies most in the world in the field of mining, taking the willing to work invitation is not anything, thanks for being with us, in a show of faith and trust in Venezuela, "he said from the vicinity of the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV).
Finally, Maduro added that "we can not build air leaderships, air Republics, we need to build leadership and real Republics, walk with the feet of those who work, to think with the head of those who feel the country and have the ability to depth feel the love that moves us as a country ". How did reacionará US with this new discovery in Venezuela?

I had the chance to talk to Paul Jenkins about Fiction Squad his latest story in the Fablewood World. Fiction Squad is currently on kickstarter looking to reach it's funding goal so that Paul and artist Roman Bachs can bring the story to the world. If at any point during the interview you're sold on helping the project then just click on this link and be whisked away to the kickstarter.
DUSTIN CABEAL: Of course the most important question is what is Fiction Squad about?
PAUL JENKINS: It tells the story of Frankie Mack, a throwaway character from a forgotten 1930s novella who lives in the Realm of Crime Fiction. Frankie never caught his bad guy, so he's a bit of a lost soul. Figuring there is work to be had elsewhere, Frankie hops the genre border and goes to work for the Police Department in a place called Rimes, which is where all the nursery rhymes live. And at that point the poor guy realizes he is in too deep – all of the nursery rhymes are crime scenes, and the mayor is a Crooked Man. The Witches and Queens are the Mob, and a turf war is brewing. To make things even harder, Frankie finds himself partnered with Simple Simon, the world's dumbest person.
DUSTIN: Can you tell us some of the literary characters we'll see in Fiction Squad?
PAUL JENKINS: Pretty much every children's character – and especially the nursery rhyme characters – are represented. You'll come to learn that Itsy Bitsy Spider is a cat burglar, Bo Peep is trying to run an insurance scam, and the Dish ran away with the Spoon to avoid getting arrested. It's a little bit like "Where's Waldo," where you have to spot them all.
DUSTIN: How does Fiction Squad fit into the Fablewood World and what's its connection (if any) to FairyQuest?
PAUL JENKINS: Well, Fiction Squad was the original Fablewood story, as a matter of fact. Once I talked with Humberto Ramos about doing Fairy Quest, though, we decided to bring that story into Fablewood. The basic gist is that Fablewood is a giant, uncharted forest that contains every story that has ever been told. We have a lot more to tell…
DUSTIN: Will the story in Fiction Squad be like FairyQuest, in that it continues and has more than one volume or is it more self-contained with the possibility of future stories?
PAUL JENKINS: Well, I think there might be many future stories that are possible for Frankie and Simon. But for the moment I would prefer to go into another part of Fablewood and do some of the other stories first. So, Fiction Squad as it stands right now is a standalone. Mind you, if enough people wanted it…
DUSTIN: Other than having a previous working relationship with Ramon Bachs, what made him the right artist for the story?
PAUL JENKINS: Ramon is just amazing – he has so many styles it is ridiculous. He is incredibly quick. Above all else, he is one of the best people you will ever want to meet. I have always railed a little bit against the concept of talent; talent is a great work ethic combined with social maturity. And that is Ramon – he works so hard to get it just right. His art is closer to the story I envisage in my mind's eye than almost any other artist I have worked with.
DUSTIN: Why Kickstarter? Other than the previous success of course, but I'm sure some people are wondering why this platform?
PAUL JENKINS: Well, we're trying to make a point here in a way. I feel that the backers are our publishers. It's important that we remember this and stay close to the fans of the work. Comics is like no other business in that regard, and I really want to embrace that.
DUSTIN: What's next for Fablewood?
PAUL JENKINS: The next planned story is about a character form the Romance Realm who is sent to live in the Realm of Horror Stories. She hates it, of course, but soon learns that it is just about lifestyle and customs. I guess you could call that a metaphor for moving to a different country and learning to accept their customs, as I have done by moving to the USA.
You heard it from Paul your the publisher! You can support Fiction Squad by heading to the kickstarter page and if it's not for you, then pass it along because it's sure to reach someone else that's dying to read this story. A big thank you to Paul for his time.

Our Operations
Africa – West Africa – The Gambia
Aspuna Group is starting its physical business in The Gambia through our local subsidiary. Our operations are, in the first instance, focusing on the processing of Cassava – a widely farmed crop in the country with currently no large scale access to world markets.
The end product Cassava starch or tapioca is an extremely versatile commodity with a wide range of users, stretching from the pharmaceutical, food and textiles industries to the bio fuels market. Our value-adding operations in The Gambia are much in line with the government's World Bank-backed vision and strategy to unlock the country's abundant, but under-utilised, agricultural wealth to help eradicate hunger, poverty and unemployment.
A strengthening of the country's cassava sector will further support The Gambia in its efforts to manage the effects of climate change, which have in recent years significantly diminished groundnut yields – the country's main cash crop.
Aspuna Gambia is an exciting enterprise with the potential to transform rural life and generate real social returns for many Gambians. Our commercial operations create markets, thus supporting farming communities in their efforts to diversify their portfolio and stabilise their income, while our processing activities at our factory site will create employment and training opportunities for Gambia's youth.
In Africa, Aspuna Group is currently exploring further opportunities in Nigeria, Tanzania and Mozambique.
For our operations in The Gambia we have partnered with Cambridge-based tech company AgriInsight. Embedding AgriInsight's innovative agribusiness e-platform into our operations allows Aspuna to bring a new level of efficiency to the supply chain management of Gambian farming produce.
Europe – South Europe – Portugal

Surveys help gauge the overall satisfaction and dissatisfaction level that customers harbour. This allows the franchise, company, business etc. to take the necessary steps to do away with the dissatisfaction, before it's too late and the customers start looking elsewhere. The Baskin Robbins Survey is such an example of a policy to entertain the customers and help them register their complaints. The Baskin Robbins Survey is currently available at www.tellbaskinrobbins.com. Customers can now easily log into their computers or cell phones, take the brief survey and make sure their criticism and feedback is heard.
Baskin Robbins was established in 1945 and is the biggest chain of ice cream specialty shop restaurants in the world. Apart from the States, Baskin-Robbins functions in 50 countries and has 7500 shops in places like Panama, Curacao, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Aruba, Honduras etc. The ice cream chain offers various flavours of ice cream, frozen treats, beverages and ice cream cakes.
The Baskin Robbins Survey allows the chain to be in touch with the fluctuating consumer demands. Catering to customers of different ethnicities is not an easy feat. The Baskin Robbins Survey permits customers to convey what they feel and what they want to be improved in the survey. This has two fold benefits; for the company and for the customers. The company maintains/increases its standards of success and revenue and the customers enjoy frozen treats with improvements.
In order to fill the Baskin Robbins Survey, you should have:
- Access to reliable internet
- A Baskin Robbins survey invitation and receipt
- Some spare time
The Baskin Robbins Survey can be completed in the following easy steps:
- Go to www.tellbaskinrobbins.com
- Select a language you prefer from French, English, and Spanish
- Enter the 18 digit code, printed on your Baskin Robbins receipt. Hence, be very careful where you put your receipt. Don't lose it until you have taken the survey
- You can also enter the store number or the PC number found on your survey card
- Answer the questions keeping in mind your last visit to the ice cream chain
- Be candid and honest. Do not hesitate to criticize
- Give your contact details for promotions
- At the end of the survey, you will be given a validation code. Jot it down on your receipt and redeem the offer on your next visit to a Baskin Robbins
The Baskin Robbins Survey is to the point and brief. It allows you to give in definite answers about the accuracy of order, speed of service, quality and quantity of products and the behaviour of the crew. However, participants should also be questioned regarding the overall atmosphere and cleanliness of the restaurant. Furthermore, customers should be asked to compare the branch they visited with other Baskin Robbins branches and with other restaurants in the area. This will help diagnose faults and check competition. The redeeming offer at the end of the survey is also a smart customer centric tool.

Forget eating for two: How more pregnant mothers than ever are being put on diets to stop them gaining too much weight
20:12 GMT, 26 June 2012
Women who think that pregnancy gives them license to eat whatever they want may have to close the snack cupboard.
Though for years, doctors have been promoting the 'eating for two' philosophy, in the case of obese expectant mothers especially, experts are now advocating for little to no weight gain.
And while healthy women are advised to gain between 25 and 35lbs, those who are overweight are now being offered nutritional coaching to only avoid putting on extra baby pounds, but to drop more postpartum.
Stop! Obese women are being given nutritional advice more and more in an effort to reduce complications during pregnancy due to weight gain
In America, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one in five pregnant women are obese and according to federal statistics a third of females of a reproductive age are overweight.
Among minority groups, these figures are even higher, reports the Baltimore Sun.
Previously the prevailing attitude has been focussed towards treating obesity complications, which can include risk of miscarriage, high blood pressure, diabetes, pre-term delivery and stillbirth, as they happen.
But as Dr. Janice Henderson, an obstetrician for high-risk pregnancies at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center explained to the Baltimore paper, this method is being recognised as a 'missed opportunity' to educated women about nutrition and health.
'Over the course of a pregnancy they learn a lot that we hope will have a carry-over effect postpartum both for themselves, their child, and perhaps even spill over to other family members,' she said, adding that the alternative will only lead to drastic increases in obesity in the next generation.
At Mercy Medical Center's Center for Advanced Fetal Care, chair of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Robert Atlas, prefers not to refer to the new approach as 'dieting' rather than 'eating healthy'.
The challenge though he explained, is that many of his patients are from poor areas and don't have the means to buy or interest in cooking with fresh produce and whole grains.
The best he can hope for is to convince them not to drink sugary soda.
Dr. Yvonne S. Thornton, a professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at New York Medical College believes that because many doctors lack expertise in nutrition, advice is not properly imparted to pregnant patients.
After maintaining the same weight during her own pregnancy thanks to Weight Watchers, she wants the Institute of Medicine to review its recommendations on weight gain.
Though some say that until further research is available women should not be encouraged to diet or lose weight while pregnant, Dr Thornton argues that regardless of weight gain or not, a healthier diet is safer for both mother and child.
A recent study in Europe back up her argument when it found that pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and high blood pressure were all significantly reduced as obese mothers reduced their calorific intake.

Blockchain and beyond!
There is a lot of excitement around blockchain to enable a whole range of new systems and services. But we must work through the hype!
There are many possible projects in this space: from managing micropayments in 'connected worlds' (smart-cities, IoT); security/vulnerability analysis; using blockchain to tackle 'fake news', etc.
Do get in contact to discuss
Physical world privacy
Data being collected constantly from everywhere - environmental sensors, cameras, etc. A lot of this through relating to the physical environment/space you're in, and those around you. At present there are few means, technical or otherwise, for opting out.
This project is to explore means to have some control over the data collected on you within a physical space. Imagine the ability to 'tell' someone's Alexa 'not to hear me', or a Google-glass wearer to `ignore me'.
Physical world gaming
Pokemon-go brought the concept of augmented reality-driven gaming to the masses. However, many games in the space tend to be location and image based -- i.e. responding to a person's (device's) location, and viewpoint. However, as the Internet of Things evolves, where connected 'things' have actuation capabilities, there is real potential for gaming to bring about physical-world effects. This project is to explore the potential in this space')'
Fog/edge computing: mediating between cloud (global) and local services.
These days, we see much use of the 'cloud' to deliver applications and services. However, as computing becomes more pervasive (i.e. with the Internet of Things) there will be more local interactions -- e.g. a person and their current physical environment (e.g. their home, the train station or shopping mall they're in, etc.)
Sometimes the use of (centralised) cloud services will be sensible, e.g. especially where 'actions' are based on (heavy) data analytics. But other times, direct actions may be more appropriate -- if I'm interacting with my appliances when I'm home, why involve a cloud provider?
This project would investigate a platform for better managing interactions directly between 'things' and/or cloud services when/where appropraite.
The potential gains are not only in efficiency (e.g. reducing connectivity requirements), but could help address security and privacy concerns, by removing the middleman in certain instances.
Playing with movement
Most current-gen mobile devices have a bunch of accelerometers, gyroscropes, and other related sensor streams that can be used for various purposes.
This is an experimental-based project basically about doing more with movement.
For example, can certain movements (or patterns there of) uniquely identify someone? How easy is it to detect when groups of people are peforming similar movements, using different devices etc.
Lots of cool applications for this - everything from security (phone locks, PKI) to enabling collaboration between people in gaming or event spaces
Supporting behavioural change
Reminders and notifications have been shown to effect real behavioural change.
This project explores how a technical infrastructure can improve health and well-being, where a person (or their care community) to be prompted when/where relevant to effect some lifestyle change. Stuff like remember to go for a walk, not to smoke or before 10, etc.
There are many aspects to this project -- so there is some freedom to focus on areas of interest.
This could include developing a suitable (reliable, secure) messaging capability (comms), complex event processing - that is, working out when important things have happened, the best time to send a message etc (which involves combining data from various sources e.g. phone sensors with environmental data, and perhaps open datasets), how to specify policy (e.g. can we take a complex set of actions when something happens), etc.
