12 Jul, 2009
This mother's wait for her son began one Saturday evening in 1990. "That day, my bulbul just flew away," she says.
Mogli Begum dreams of Kashmir's tallest leader, Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah. In Srinagar's Habbakadal area, Mogli, who doesn't remember her age, lives alone in an old house. She hardly leaves her room on the first floor, half of which she uses as a kitchen.
Mogli's world faded in 1990, but all she remembers is that it was a Saturday in the month of September. Her only son, Nazir Ahmed, a teacher, left as usual for duty. "He ate his lunch and said he was leaving," Mogli recalls. He would usually come back by five in the evening. But that day he didn't come back. Mogli waited till late night. And then the search began. The entire locality searched for Nazir Ahmed. In police stations. In Army and other security camps. In graveyards. In hospitals. In the local mental asylum. Ads were released.
But there was no trace of her son.
"My husband left me for another woman when Nazir was still suckling my breast," Mogli says. "After that, I treated him like a bulbul," she says, "and that day, the bulbul just flew away."
Before leaving on that Saturday, Mogli's son had given her Rs 30 to buy vegetables. She still has those currency notes with her. "I would have liked to vote for Sheikhsahib (Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah)," she says, "but he too is gone. Who do I vote for, then?" Years of yearning for her missing son have taken a toll on Mogli. Her vision and hearing have deteriorated. "Maybe Nazir would return before I close my eyes forever." All that remains of her son is a black and white passport photo, faded over long years of caressing. "If Nazir returns, I will vote for anyone you ask me to." And then she goes silent. The very thought of a ballot machine dissolves in a well of tears.

Multi-manager maestro John Chatfeild-Roberts reveals the secrets of his approach in his new book called Fundology.The book reveals that the Jupiter director forms rapid impressions of everyone he meets. "As I get older, throughout my everyday life I find myself subconsciously categorising people I meet quite quickly, comparing them to similar personalities I have met in the past," he writes. This includes journalists, so Money Marketing is careful to arrive early for the interview. Chatfeild-Roberts is impressed with his interviewer's choice of fountain pen so things are off to a good start. How did the book come about? He says: "It was not my idea. The editor, Jonathan Davis, did some work for us in mid-2004 and afterwards he said: 'You really ought to write a book about this.' He came back seriously at the end of the year an said if I would write it, he would edit it." Chatfeild-Roberts' habit of crediting others for many of his achievements is reinforced in his book, which is peppered with quotes from the likes of George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill "because they have much better brains". But the book was delayed because once he started writing, Chatfeild-Roberts realised he could not easily distil his thoughts into a 140-page volume. He has learned his lessons from 15 years of multi-manager investing, first at Henderson and Lazard, then at Jupiter since 2001. The book was due for completion last October but the first edition of 5,000 copies went through numerous rewrites and edits before rolling off the press at investment publisher Harriman House this week. "The problem is that investing is not very simple. Chapter three, for example, could be twice as long but carries a warning that readers may want to skip the section and return to it later if they need to." The chapter in question contains detailed technical information on the structure of unit trusts and Oeics. It was not the author's favourite but he felt it necessary to include for the sake of readers' understanding. More interesting chapters to write – and, he admits, to read – describe how to pick the best fund managers, perhaps because they revolve around other people's skills. Chatfeild-Roberts believes that fund managers either have the necessary insight or they do not. This includes possessing the humility to admit mistakes and to be flexible in approach. He says these are inborn traits, not taught, and he has spent the past 15 years identifying managers who have them. "In some ways, fund management is a process of natural selection and there are very few managers who can last the distance." James Findlay, who runs the Findlay Park US opportunities fund, is a manager who has lasted the pace. After Chatfeild-Roberts invested in 1992 in the US opportunities fund that Findlay previously ran for Foreign & Colonial, his money doubled in six years. He followed Findlay in 1998 when he set up Findlay Park, seeing continued outperformance while the F&C fund has dropped off by comparison. Chatfeild-Roberts believes that managers can find themselves restricted by their early learning experiences in fund houses although these are nevertheless valuable. He feels that the key to achieving the best returns is being able to "express oneself" through a portfolio. He has demonstrated insight of his own through the asset allocation of his funds of funds. He timed the turn in equity markets in March 2003, switching his portfolios into high alpha funds and reaping the rewards. His growth portfolio is up by 52.6 per cent over the five years to January 17 and is ranked second in the managed growth sector. Despite giving away his secrets in the book, Chatfeild-Roberts is not concerned that private investors will start to outperform him. He has been outspoken about multi-managers who aim to achieve second-quartile performance by investing in a number of managers in a region. He says that if he likes a manager, he will back him all the way. Private investors rarely have the courage to do this, nor can they stomach market falls such as last week's Japanese correction. Chatfeild-Roberts says he used this as a buying opportunity but many retail investors would prefer to continue putting their money into tracker funds, which he cannot stand. The book's appendices feature graph after graph of poor-performing trackers. "It pains me to think there really is an awful lot of money invested in those things and, particularly with open architecture, these days it is very easy to do something about it. Trackers all perform in line with each other and one is just a bit cynical, that is all. Investors can draw their own conclusions." Chatfeild-Roberts' book seems finally to be suggesting that investors should give him their money but it would not be for him to make that connection. He would prefer to leave that to somebody smarter than he is.
John Chatfeild-Roberts
Star fund managers are born, not made, believes Jupiter's master of multi-management. His new book, Fundology, explains how to identify the best managers but he fears that individual investors lack the courage to follow their convictions and are still stuck in the tracker mentality, says Matt Davis.

Tonight is lazy entry night.
I'm exhausted from the 12 hour shift I just finished, all the family has gone to bed and the only thing I actually feel like doing is sleeping for a month. Unfortunately I suffer from a complex disorder which distorts a great deal of my social interaction, and never really gives me any rest. The name of this complex disorder, which appears to be absent from the majority of most people I do have some kind of social interaction with, on one level or another.....guilt.
There, I said it.....I feel so much better having gotten that off my chest. I was beginning to think I was suffering some bizarre or un-diagnosed psychological condition. I was sitting on the bed with my trusty laptop just cruising around the internet, catching up on the latest gossip and news. Not even bothering with my usual blog or music sites. And then it hit me....I felt guilty that I hadn't updated my blog for a week and a half, since my last post, which was the review of the Make Them Suffer show that never was.
So, with Shape Of Despair blaring painfully loud inside my head I decided to jot down a few words, just to ease my feelings of guilt at not having posted anything, for a month (in internet terms a week and a half feels like a month anyway). And now that I've reached the point when I was going to say something profound or exquisite or esoteric, the thought of saying anything is just too much work.....oh, and Shape Of Despair has finished, and now I'm loving Swallow The Sun's "Doomed To Walk The Earth".....
You may have guessed by now I dig slow music more than fast music....
Maybe it's all down to the guilt....
Wednesday 3rd October
Tonight I can't be bothered.
I get out of the shower after my weekly basketball game, and sit down with my humble blog, fully intending to review some masterpiece I have stashed away on my hard drive since the beginning of the year. As soon as I get comfortable, I have to decide what album to review. Before I even open up the media player, the thought comes to my mind, most of the albums on said hard drive have been listened to a billion times in the past few months, and I really couldn't be bothered listening to them again.
So what do I do? I turn on the internet radio on my humble laptop and hope and pray that some decent metal comes out the other end. This is the problem I have with modern metal, and to a large extent music in general. Of the 90 minutes I've been listening, I've heard one song from a band I've never heard of which merited a search for their material on facebook or youtube, just to ensure I actually did heard a good song. the remaining 85 minutes have been a frustrating glimpse into the current state of our beloved metal scene.
I have some bad news.....
What I've heard so far may only be the radio station's moderator's best of, or he/she could have simply clicked the shuffle button. Either way, I'm not really convinced we have many discerning metal lovers doing their bit to ensure the proliferation of quality metal. I fear for the future of metal if the best we can produce is 80's thrash riffs played 100 times faster than the guy who wrote them, or meandering bloated pretentious "synth prog" riffs interspersed with a guy (or girl in some cases) who can neither sing nor scream/growl properly.
So far, mind you I'm still listening to the aforementioned internet station, I've had to sit through black metal with way too much noise to actually be effective, death metal with really boring riffs, doom/goth with terrible female (and male) singing and horrendous "classical" parts. The worst part has been when I suffered through a 2 minute solo that was one Kirk Hammett threw away 10 years ago.
Is it me or are the kids actually having a great deal of trouble creating original riffs and interesting melodies?
And before you say anything, I am a big fan of deathcore. To qualify that statement, I'm a big fan of quality deathcore. At this point I'm not thinking of, or even discussing, the big guns of the metal scene. Honestly I've never wanted to go to an arena show. I think they are the most over-rated, tacky and un-deserving types of live music. Festivals such as Donnington and Wacken will unfortunately fall into this category. Sorry guys. I am definitely a small club gig sorta guy. I won't apologise for that, there's plenty of fans around the world who will disagree with me. Maybe we can leave that topic for another day
My fear is for the next generation. What sort of legacy are we leaving them if the only metal we can produce is to rehash someone else's work that we found in dad's Metallica and Anthrax collection? Where are all the guitar legends for the next generation? Have they got their paycheck for the supergroup album they starred on last week and gone fishing? I have a very bad feeling that all the really good bands are hitting their prime right now, but the new bands who are meant to step up when these guys get old and boring just aren't cut out for it. Maybe it's too much Guitar Hero, or too many youtube videos, but there's not many awesome bands who will stand the test of time.
Maybe I'm wrong and the moderator of said internet station is a total knob with no ear for awesome metal...
Those kids exist as well...
Monday 1st October
I've decided to turn this section into my gripes page. This is where I get to yell at the top of my lungs a variety of contemplative pronouncements which will, in all likelihood polarize people away from or possibly closer to my side of the fence. I'm not fully convinced the latter is a good idea, but on we go...
To start off, as much as it really does hurt me to say this, My Dying Bride have become the epitome of cheese.
This is a term I quite commonly use for bands/music that, although well put together and obviously derived from talented musicians, has the consistency and flavor of aforementioned dairy product. You may have guessed I am not a fan of cheese. I enjoy it liberally with my pasta and salad, but by itself it is bland, hard to chew and sits very heavily on my stomach.
In this case, the same can be said for My Dying Bride's latest maudlin opus "A Map Of All Our Failures", and it really does hurt to even think that one of my all-time favorites of the doom/death/goth genre has sunk to the very place I never thought they could end up. On first listen, their intent is noble. To broaden the human perspective of our collective miseries and failings is certainly an ambitious one, and their desire to immerse us in their depraved and tortured consciousness is laudable.
My gripe stems from the seemingly widening gap between their attempts at tearing open the veil of this darker side of humanity and their musical/vocal inability to actually accomplish the task that they set themselves. Don't get me wrong, Aaron Stainthorpe and co are masterful musicians and consummate performers in their own inimitable way. I have the utmost respect for their pedigree in the doom/goth genre. The problem is their ability to write good doom metal either wasn't there to start with (Symphonaire.... was an ambitious first album) or Andrew and Hamish have gone so far down the gothic metal road they've dropped the compass and have just looked up to find themselves in VERY unfamiliar territory.
I have to point out that "Turn Loose The Swans" is my #1 MDB album. TLTS was such a mind-blowing excursion into the netherworld inside Aaron's head that I couldn't stop playing it for months. I was so hungry for the follow-up album, so sold on the the MDB concept. I suppose that was my mistake, thinking my world was going to get better with the next MDB release. It never did. Every album released since TLTS has let me down a little bit more every time that now everything is crystal clear.
I see the terrible truth.....
All this time I was following along on MDB's eclectic and dysfunctional musical adventure, looking where they looked, peering into each corner of the sordid world they were showing me. The pitch black yawning gap of the veil they had torn open and shredded decades ago is now only a memory. The only thing I see in my panorama is the compass they hold.
They are the gate-keepers, and I am the penitent traveler. I am a silent partner to their morbid curiosity as they dissect the terrible remains of my dissolving world......
What have I become???
Where am I???
Who am I???
Ah, that's better.
Must have been the cheese....
28 Sep
Some information you might find interesting about me and what I'm about...
As you might have guessed already, I REALLY dig my extreme music. I must admit I get really excited by discovering new and interesting music in all its unique incarnations. Unfortunately for the the rest of the world I don't have any time for 99% of the garbage that everyone else seems to enjoy.
I also have a deep spiritual connection to everything I do. That usually manifests as comments or posts, but it also is a standard I hope to maintain on this blog. Therefore, everything submitted for review on this blog will be evaluated through this lens.
Don't take it personally if your demo that you worked really hard on and spent hundreds of your own dollars on doesn't get a review. We will be posting quality music and artwork, regardless of the genre.
This spiritual lens also applies to any links or affiliations we may be approached to sponsor. Any sites which fail this litmus test will not be shared on this blog.
Please feel free to comment. I am not a fan of censorship of any kind as long as the rules are followed.

Computational Social Science
Computational social science concerns models, simulations and analysis of social phenomena that arise from economics, sociology, psychology, and social media. Our group works on investigating social and behavioural relationships and interactions through crowd modelling and simulation, network analysis, multi-agent systems, and social media mining.
Mark Wilson "My research in this area focuses on collective decision-making (which can be by human or artificial agents), with emphasis on algorithmic aspects of voting, electoral systems and resource allocation. Often agents are linked by a network (social or otherwise), and I also study diffusion of beliefs and behaviours in networks, and foundational topics in network science."
Jiamou Liu "My research focuses on MAS that involves agents who form a social structure, and the analysis of this social structure through social network analysis and game theory. Topics of interests include network evolution, evaluation of individual positions (centrality or influence) in the social network, coalition formation, information diffusion, network optimisations, communities structures and their detections, and social modelling and simulation."

Progress Invoicing has been a long-anticipated feature in QBO. Last fall, we were able to preview Progress Invoicing in QBO Labs. And now… as promised we have the feature live in QBO Plus.
When Progress Invoicing was announced I wrote two articles covering 'how it worked' (Part 1) and many of 'the details and alternatives' (Part 2). Both articles remain true in terms of the live version that is now available, so follow the links to see the specifics we covered last November.
To recap briefly, QBO Progress Invoicing has several options which allow for invoicing a percentage, custom or remaining open balance. Since there are multiple options you might want to use my articles as a reference guide when you area explore Progress Invoicing.
Turning-on Progress Invoicing (now that it is live)
Previously Progress Invoicing was a 'QBO Labs (Beta)' feature and it was activated from the QBO Labs options, but now that it is live we have to turn it on from the standard Settings (preferences) for QuickBooks Online Plus. At the present time this feature is only available to QBO Plus subscribers within the United States.
To activate Progress Invoicing:
1) Select the Gear Icon,
2) Choose Account/Settings
3) Select the Sales tab on the left
4) Under Progress Invoicing check the box 'Create multiple partial invoices for a single estimate'
5) Click the green 'Save' button. Progress Invoicing will now show a status of 'On'.
Once on, you can view and use the feature after creating an Estimate and then choosing one of several Progress Invoicing options.
Source, Intuit
QBO Progress Invoice (step 1)
I am excited to hear how many of you end up using Progress Invoicing. Please let me know by posting a comment to this article and share your thoughts on this exciting new feature.
And, by the way, Have a Great Memorial Day!

Environmental Monitoring Equipment & Supplies • Sales, Rental & Service by Enviro-Equipment — Charlotte, North Carolina USA
The American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) held their 4th conference on Innovative Environmental Assessment and Remediation Technology on September 12-13, 2012 at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia. This year's conference was well attended and concentrated more on remediation than assessment but there were a few interesting assessment talks as well.
The remediation subjects included the following:
In July 2012, Enviro-Equipment, Inc. (EEI) was licensed to build injection trailers which use the "CLEANINJECT" patent pending technology. These trailers are capable of injecting granular materials such as activated carbon into the subsurface for petrochemical remediation.Enviro-Equipment Inc. has been providing equipment for soil and groundwater remediation for almost 20 years and is certified to custom build control panels with UL labels, including programmable logic controls (PLC).
In this series of articles we will discuss some of the things you might encounter when exposed to your first remediation project. We will limit our discussion to the items not typically taught in school or by that senior person at the firm who is the only one who can handle certain aspects of a project.
Every business wants to create a working environment that enables its workers to maximize their efficiency. But it's also true that many businesses know far too little about training management that properly deals with one of the most common work place hazards: heat stress.
NOTE: We here at Enviro Equipment Inc. thought it might be nice to do something different with our blog this time, so we decided to print a condensed version of a paper one of our employees, Kyle T. Shores, recently wrote for a 400 level Geology course he is taking. We chose to use this paper as the basis for a blog post because not only is it exceptionally well-written but it deals with an environmental topic in the news a lot these days; hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a. "Fracking).
Generally, trust funds are a good idea. They're a way to provide sustainable benefits for person, group or entity. It's not uncommon for wealthy parents to set one up for their kids when they reach a certain age (to prevent them from blowing it all in Vegas or on a shiny red Ferrari, I suppose).
More nobly, trust funds are often set up in the wake of emergencies to raise funds that will be eventually distributed by a third party in an appropriate manner.
Lower your risks. Save some headaches. Make your customers very happy.
These days, customers want clear data, concise reports, and easy-to-understand graphical analysis of the work that environmental consultants perform. Meeting these expectations isn't easy. Instrumentation-related software and hardware are more complex than ever and even the most computer savvy consultants can struggle with problems like:
EEI was proud to exhibit our company and products at the Clemson University Hydrogeology Symposium on April 12. It was a very popular event. In fact, there were more than 350 attendees – making it the most well-attended symposium yet. Who said that geologists don't like to party? Get a few beers in us, and the tales start to flow…
Since my wife and I started our environmental equipment rental and sales business back in 1993, many things have changed.
For starters, the power, influence and reach of the Internet has transformed how we conduct our marketing, and how we communicate with our current and future customers.

Labels?… Highly suited for a strong-headed woman who agreed to sit in with the ladies of Mbewu Movement for their second mentor-mentee session. The idea behind the meet was to have a "formal-informal" conversation. "Formal" in the sense that the ladies of Mbewu had prepared questions that would guide the conversation and "informal" in the sense that folding your arms, putting your legs up and dancing were completely allowed. Sisonke made the session light and fun as she responded to serious and not-so-serious life and career questions.
She shared tales about her travels, gender, leadership and about her experiences when all those social constructs are played out in various social settings, i.e. the home, the work place, and society at large. She reminded us that "your existence, your success will not always be accepted nor welcome by others but continue being the best you and never move your foot off the accelerator/gas pedal."
Family life – Sisonke was frank about the fact that women who pursue success had to have a strong a support system; a husband and a nanny who are involved and present with the children when she is not.
Sisonke has written for a variety of well-known newspapers in South Africa- City Press, Mail and Guardian and (currently) the Daily Maverick.

Steps are designed with alternate
risers to accommodate comfortable
and safe access to the upper level
given the limited space
Elevated (upper) seat can recline
extensively since there is no
passenger seating directly
behind it but rather below it.
This is an example showing the middle section of a large aircraft with rows of 4 seats. Every other row is elevated allowing for
leg room for the seat behind it which is at conventional height. Elevated seats are reduced to 3 from 4 to make room for the steps
on each side.
Alternate Elevated Seats - Economy Class
Patents issued and pending - All Rights Reserved
Scroll down for animations (animations may take a few minutes to download)
- Lower seat folds vertically to allow passenger to access luggage space under elevated seat. This feature also
helps create sufficient space for lower passenger to access lower seats when upper seat is fully reclined
- Handling luggage while away from the aisle improves boarding and deplaning times
Lower passenger seat slides forward to allow the backrest to recline, offering upper and lower passengers the
same degree of comfort
Companies that currently do not pay for business travel for their employees would be interested in providing more
affordable reclining in order to have their employees arrive rested and more productive
Surface cost of Economy-FLEX is approximately 20% more than conventional economy, providing a 45 degree or
better recline. This increased comfort makes the difference between the ability to sleep versus sleep-deprivation on
long flights

Donald Trump threatens to 'economically devastate' Turkey
President Donald Trump warned Sunday that if Turkey attacks U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in Syria, the United States will "devastate Turkey economically."
Trump's decision to pull American troops out of Syria has left the United States' Kurdish allies vulnerable to an attack from Turkey. Ankara views the Kurdish forces as terrorists aligned with insurgents inside Turkey.
In a tweet, Trump also warned the Kurdish forces not to "provoke Turkey."
The U.S. withdrawal has begun with shipments of military equipment, U.S. defense officials said. But in coming weeks, the contingent of about 2,000 troops is expected to depart even as the White House says it will keep pressure on the IS network.
< blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone....

Once the troops are gone, the U.S. will have ended three years of organizing, arming, advising and providing air cover for Syrian, Kurdish and Arab fighters in an open-ended campaign devised by the Obama administration to deal the militants, also known as ISIS, a lasting defeat.
"Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions," Trump tweeted. "Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds."
Trump's decision to leave Syria, which he initially said would be rapid but later slowed down, shocked U.S. allies and angered the Kurds in Syria. It also prompted the resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and drew criticism in Congress. Sen. Jack Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat, called the decision a "betrayal of our Kurdish partners."
....Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey. Russia, Iran and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term U.S. policy of destroying ISIS in Syria - natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the ENDLESS WARS!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 13, 2019

INTERNATIONAL - Uganda's central bank maintained its key interest rate at a record low as it seeks to balance rising inflation and the need to encourage economic growth.
The Monetary Policy Committee kept the benchmark rate at 9 percent, Governor Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile told reporters on Monday in the capital, Kampala.
The annual inflation rate rose to 3.1 percent in July, the highest level in seven months, as energy prices soared.
The weaker shilling and higher costs of oil could boost price growth further, Tumusiime-Mutebile said. Core inflation will peak at about 6 percent or 7 percent in January to June next year, the second half of the country's fiscal year, and will stabilize at about 5 percent by the end of 2019, he said.
The gross domestic product probably expanded 5.8 percent in the year that ended June 30 from 3.9 percent in the prior 12 months, Tumusiime-Mutebile said. It may accelerate to 6 percent in the year to end-June 2019.
Risks to the growth outlook include challenges relating to financing public-investment programs, escalating global trade tensions and the weak external-balance position, with the current-account deficit expanding to 5.8 percent of GDP in the year ended June from 3.4 percent 12 months earlier, he said.
Uganda, which discovered commercially viable oil deposits in 2006, is investing in projects such as roads and an airport in the oil region, plans a refinery and export crude pipeline ahead of the planned commencement of production in 2020.
France's Total SA, Cnooc Ltd. of China and London-based Tullow Oil Plc are jointly developing crude finds with 6.5 billion barrels of oil resource.
While public-investment programs will help raise output in the long run, funding them "can be formidable and may crowd out private investment and consumption, thus delaying the growth benefits of public investment," he said.
Price pressures appear to be building, and policymakers will probably pause the easing cycle until the second half of next year, Yasemin Engin, an economist at Capital Economics Ltd. in London, said in an e-mailed note.
"The next move will be a 50 basis-point cut in the middle of next year," Engin said.

A lot has changed since I started my contract here in Ghana in November 2016. I've definitely learned a lot and had a ton of great experiences, but I've also had some challenges. I wanted to take a minute to reflect on what I've done, what's coming up, and what impact I've been able to have so far. I am choosing to write about it here because as I mentioned in my very first post about this work (here), positive impact can't be had unless you are willing to check back in and be held accountable.
The initial project I came for was with one of Crossroads' partners in the Volta Region. After 5 months on that project, I was given the opportunity to move to a new project in Accra that would allow me to work with a number of different partners we have in Ghana - not only in Accra, but across the country. As Crossroads expands in Ghana, I will be working to complete needs assessments, organizational diagnostics, and finding out how we can best support our partners in 2017 and beyond. It is an opportunity that I am very much looking forward to.
But before I look forward, I want to reflect on what I've done so far. The project I started with in the Volta Region focused on strategic development and long term planning, and it was a great learning experience. To me, my work is first and foremost women's advocacy work, and that is the marker I am using to determine the impact of my time. Within the context of women's advocacy, and on that specific project, I was not able to have the impact that I wanted to achieve. There were definitely some successes (a new strategic plan, and many organizational tools), and I do feel like some areas of the project had impact, but overall I was hoping to have a more sustainable and impactful result. I am not going to go into detail on the specific challenges I faced because I don't think that would be fair to the organization I was working with.
If I expand my reflections to go beyond my specific project and outward to my life and my time here in general, then I do feel my time has been impactful. Since my arrival I have been able to connect with so many amazing women and people. I've been learning, growing, and becoming a more informed and intersectional champion for gender advocacy work.
The two main groups I have connected with personally are the African Women's Development Fund (AWDF), and the Humanist Association of Ghana (HAG). Both of these groups are deeply intersectional in their women's advocacy and work to prioritize the most marginalized women, including women in the LGBTQ+ community (a group still rarely supported in the women's movement in Ghana). The women I've met through these organizations have been great at pushing me to learn more, do better, and become a more professional advocate for gender equity - and I am very grateful for that. At the same time, I do think I have contributed positively to their communities as well, engaging in meetings, workshops, twitter chats, and other advocacy activities.
From all of these experiences so far, I have learned many things, but I want to highlight two specifically. First, yes - there can be short term work with big impact, but the real change happens over many years. I believe this MLK quote sums it up well: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice". Although, I do think it's important to point out that the bend towards justice doesn't just happen - it is the result of years of hard work by activists and the advocacy community. And second, this work isn't just about what you are doing from 9am - 5pm, it is about how you live your life, express your values, and prioritize your time. You can contribute to change at your job, but you can also contribute to it outside of your work. To me, advocacy is not just a career, it is a lifestyle. And it's important to take any opportunity you are given to work towards positive change.
As I look forward to the next 5 months in Ghana, I will continue to focus on the impact I can have within the women's advocacy space, both in my work and in my life as a whole. I look forward to seeing what can be accomplished!

This spring's commencement ceremony will largely mirror the 2009 ceremony, though some adjustments have been made to reduce overcrowding in Wilson Ice Arena, where dual ceremonies will be held on May 15.
Graduation was moved into the arena for the first time in recent memory last year because budgetary constraints would not allow for the construction of an outdoor stadium in the B-parking lot behind Saratoga Terrace. Though many seniors were upset with the way the decision was handled, the indoor location provided the unforeseen benefit of shelter when a rainstorm hit the campus last May.
Like last year, graduates will attend one of two ceremonies based on their primary academic major. Each student will have the opportunity to reserve up to five tickets for guests.
"Logistically, [last year's ceremony] ran extremely well," said Andrea Klein, director of campus scheduling and events. "We really were pleased with how things ran. From my observation, it appears that we were able to serve [the graduates] very well in terms of a beautiful ceremony inside a controlled environment."
Klein noted that one hitch the 2009 ceremony ran into was an unexpectedly high number of guests using wheelchairs. Klein said that her department would be "intentionally and purposely" educating graduates to think about the family they are bringing and any accommodations they might require. She also said that this year's ceremony would have more external and internal signs to help guests navigate the parking lots and athletic center.
"I was very pleased with the presentation in the arena," said Polly Radosh, dean of the college. She said that the problem of the arena being packed too tightly will be alleviated with a slight redistribution of the majors allocated into the two sections as well as the creation of a separate ceremony for Master's degree recipients in Wadsworth Auditorium on May 8.
Specific highlights of the spring ceremony, including the commencement speaker, honorary degree recipients and senior orators, have not yet been revealed.

This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Professor Sir David Greenaway
Introduction from Professor Sir David Greenaway
It is my great pleasure to provide an introduction to the Ossie Newell Foundation. Ossie has made a unique contribution to stroke care at local and national level, where he has been a persistent and loyal advocate.
After a distinguished career in construction services and electronics Ossie was not ready for a quiet life of retirement and embarked on an Open University course in Nottingham to obtain a Bachelors of Arts Degree with Honours. As he was completing his final thesis in 1999, at the age of 64, he sadly suffered a stroke.
Ossie's stroke was devastating in its severity, making him totally dependent on help to walk and requiring full assistance with all daily needs, including washing and dressing. As you may have predicted he tackled this life challenge with the same tenacity he had applied in his sporting and professional careers. Despite his dogged determination it took Ossie nearly two years to achieve a good recovery enabling him to walk, dress and write independently and nearly seven years to regain his ability to draw which has been a life-long pastime.
As Ossie battled with his own personal recovery he realised he had to make a contribution to the lives of others in similar situations to himself. He then embarked on his second career as key advocate for stroke survivors and passionate campaigner. A year after his stroke Ossie founded the Nottingham patient group @astroke which gave support and information to fellow stroke survivors and their families. As his health recovered his input was increasingly sought from many organisations that recognised his unique contribution in driving improvements in stroke services in the East Midlands and nationally.
Ossie has sat on the Board of the Nottingham Queen's Medical Centre NHS Trust and National Stroke Management Board at the Department of Health. He has also been a member of the East Midlands Cardiac and Stroke Board and chaired the East Midlands Stroke Network Patient Partnership Board. He has spoken at multiple national stroke conferences and delivered impassioned speeches in the House of Commons. His voice is greatly respected at all levels throughout the stroke community and has made a significant contribution to the delivery of better stroke services in the UK.
Over the last decade Ossie has developed an enduring relationship with the University of Nottingham. Until recently he was a co-chair of the Nottingham Stroke Research Consumer Group. This works in partnership with academics at the University and ensures the research undertaken is of importance to those living with stroke, that the timing of the research is appropriate, and that the outcome measures of success are those important to stroke survivors. I can assure you he and his fellow stroke survivors are not shy in telling us when our research falls short!
In recognition of Ossie's selfless commitment to improving the lives of stroke survivors and for his service to stroke care in the UK, he was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List in 2009. He has also been awarded a Commemorative Medal from Stroke Alliance for Europe (SAFE) in recognition of his dedicated work as a media volunteer for stroke.
I could list many more achievements but, it would be remiss of me not to note that his dedication to improving life after stroke and enhancing the services provided to stroke survivors would have been unachievable had it not been for the support and love of his wife Olive and children Louise, Helen and David. Their sacrifice has been our gain.
The Ossie Newell Foundation will provide a fitting and lasting legacy in supporting PhD students pursuing stroke rehabilitation in their studies to improve the lives of stroke survivors in the future.

What being on a Ketogenic – Paleo – Bulletproof Diet means to me:
For starters, Ketogenic, Paleo and Bulletproof Diet all share their attention to the carbohydrate to protein to fat ratios of the foods we eat. While they differ in those ratios, suggestions about fasting and where we source foods, in some combination of the three together, they inform me as I listen more and more carefully to what my body needs and to what exactly I need from those ratios in any given day. If this is all sounding a bit overwhelming already, hang on because it absolutely does get better and, at least for me personally, the pay off for even taking a stab at any one of them has been immense.
Personally, I hang out in the Bulletproof lifestyle more than any other for reasons I'll get into as my blog develops.
For my history, I'm deeply steeped in and come from a culture where being thin and thinner has ruled much of my life. My history orients me around learning to cook professionally, obsessing about food, building my own food business, while at the same time vehemently pursuing whatever the latest 'diet' craze had to offer. Finally I've landed on truly understanding the role of carbohydrates to my health has my overall health and wellbeing has now greatly improved.
Today I'm so much less concerned with how much I weigh because I feel so much better eating a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet. What a relief! Building up my lifestyle to accommodate the support I need to stay on tract, eat what works for me and love my life is what's paramount to me these days. And surprise, surprise, I drop weight as I want to.
This is the ultimate pay off; being in control of my own biology; the foundation of my neatly fitting into the culture of biohacking. Stay tuned for more about my amazing journey through food, stress, age, and grace and follow the easy steps you could take to join me.

So you were a little bogged down with the back to school chaos that ensues every year at about this time, and you couldn't make it to GA Hands & Voice's event?
No problem.
We checked in with their Executive Director, Terri Patterson for an inside scoop of what we missed…
Georgia Hands & Voices 5th Annual Back to School BASH
With over 70 families and professionals (deaf educators, administrators, interpreters, SLPs, Audiologists, students in higher education, GA Pines Parent Advisors to name a few) in attendance, 19 exhibitors, 8 teen panelists, 7 session presenters, 3 sponsors and one very dynamic guest speaker: we believe the Georgia Hands & Voices 5th Annual Back to School BASH at the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf on August 17 was a great success.
We were honored to have Mr. Ken Levinson who crossed the country to come and talk about why and how teenagers develop positive, healthy self-esteem. Mr. Levinson is the Co-Founder and Lead Counselor of the AG Bell Association's Leadership Opportunities for Teens (LOFT) Program. Mr. Levinson focused his talk on building healthy self-esteem in children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, regardless of their communication modes or methods. "I AM GREAT" spoke to the different characteristics that are vital to developing confidence and positive self-esteem in ALL teenagers and took it further to address the unique needs of teens who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. He emphasized the necessity of allowing kids to develop independence by experiencing everything and taking chances, making mistakes and learning from them. Also, he also shared the importance of teens in developing a positive attitude and a behavior of respect. Teens need to get involved in groups that help develop stronger bonds; find good role models, particularly those that are D/HH; set expectations high and learn to laugh at themselves.
We were also lucky enough to have him facilitate our teen panel which closed the day down providing great wisdom and enlightenment. Mr. Levinson's humor and honesty really drew out the panelists, who ranged from "almost" 13 through 19 years of age. They represented diverse cultural backgrounds, academic settings, communication choices and personality characteristics, while finding quite a bit of common ground and experiences. It was really thrilling to see them become so animated up on the stage and express themselves with such honesty, especially after sharing how nervous they were in the beginning. From one 14 year old boy sharing the story of losing his implant off of a rollercoaster (of course, the Executive Director's son) to a 15 year old sharing the benefits of sign language "because you can communicate with a mouth full of food," they let their personalities shine. They talked about wanting to go to college, wanting to become a teacher, wanting to develop their skills in mechanics. Mr. Levinson continually emphasized that our children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing can be ANYTHING they want to be and the importance of having positive Deaf and Hard of Hearing role models. This was echoed by our audience during their questions and comments for the panelists. I think this group is well on their way to doing just that!
Along with these empowering presentations to our larger group, we also had 5 breakout sessions during the day. We covered topics ranging from "Intro to ASL" presented by a couple, Karmon, who works with the Georgia Parent Infant Network for Educational Services program (GA PINES) and Michael Cain, an American Sign Language Instructor at Georgia Perimeter College, who are both Deaf; to "Transition to What? What Happens After High School" by Becky Sills, a Director of VR Services. To add to the mix, G.R.E.A.T.D.A.Y. Inc. who provides mental health resources for the Deaf community presented; our Board President, Carianne Muse, who is also a member of the Joint Commission on Infant Hearing (JCIH), presented "What Should You Expect from Early Intervention Services" addressing the recently published set of JCIH recommendations on Early Intervention Services and how they relates to the current services provided in our state. Our final session choice, "Your Child's Journey Towards Graduation: What You Need to Know," was presented by Dr. Kenney Moore, the Director of the Division of State Schools and Dr. Frank Nesbit, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program Consultant for the Department of Education. The brain trust at this event was unbeatable!
So, while our wonderful volunteers from the Georgia Perimeter College Sign Language Interpreter Training Program, GA PINES and the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf provided a safe, fun and accessible environment for our children and the Georgia Sensory Assistance Project put on a Sib Shop for the 7-9 year old hearing siblings, the teens and adults were filled with knowledge and had an opportunity to connect as a community. Add in the exhibitor break time, and some lunch and it made for a full, satisfying day.
A few of the comments on the evaluations of the event: "Incredibly brave, bright, insightful young people!" "It was needed and nice to socialize with other parents." "Super fun!!!" "They were able to answer a lot of questions."
We are grateful for the sponsorship provided by Georgia Relay, Active Life Hearing Loops and Cochlear Americas. We also had a large diverse group of exhibitors at our event:
- Advanced Bionics, AASD, AASD Accessible Materials Project, Auditory-Verbal Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, GA Bell, GACHI/Georgia Telecommunications Equipment Distribution Program, GA PINES, Georgia Peach Cochlear Implant Association, Georgia Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Georgia School for the Deaf, Georgia Sensory Assistance Project, Med-El, Oticon and G.R.E.A.T.D.A.Y, Inc.
I am grateful to all of the families in Georgia that feel as passionate as I do about ensuring our children get what they need when they need it to be successful, and continually reinforce why Hands & Voices is a valuable organization and community in our state.
So, as we move forward with the 2013-14 school year, ensuring that our families of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children have the resources, the connections and the tools they need to empower their children to be successful, academically, socially and personally, in order to reach their full potential, so that they grow up to become who and whatever they dream and aspire to be. Be watching for more info on our next event: "The Unique Communication Considerations for Your Child's IEP/IFSP: What You Need to Know!" on October 5, 2013 at the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf from 8:30am to 1:00pm.

Hey Guys!
It's a beautiful thing when style & comfort come together! These breezy wide leg pants and super soft olive tank are a perfect example of just that! I picked up both at The Clothing Bar Boutique in Norman and I couldn't be happier. I actually was eyeing these tropical print pants a week before and never bought them but they started to haunt my mind. Seriously though...I couldn't stop thinking about them so I went back and dabbed them up! These pants are wide legged, high-waisted, and super cool for the hot summer days! They drape into overlapping panels that tie at the waist.
Wearing wide legged pants can be super intimidating, especially when you are shorter like me. So here are a few things I look for/do for when wearing wide legged pants:
1) Wear heels. Adding height can really make a difference
2) Look for high-waisted. You will visually had more leg and define your waist at the same time!
3) Wear something more fitted on top. You can look heavier if you choose to wear loose wide leg pants and a loose top. A form fitted top will look more balanced.
Since there was so much color happening in the pants, I decided to go for something a little more nutural on top. I paired this look with gladiator olive heels and a long gold medallion necklace. So, how are you like the wide leg pant trend? Let me know in the comment section below!
Get the look:

With Spring well and truly here, and Summer on its way, life on the croft hasn't stopped for a minute. During the last month alone we've had the most severe snow storm of the winter which has been followed by the driest spell since 1995. We never thought we would say this (and may live to regret it) but please rain PLEASE!
Despite the crazy weather patterns, it has been great to see the trees that we planted a few months ago burst into life. They could definitely do with a good soaking but so far they are hanging on.
And around the croft we're enjoying the hidden speckled colours of wildflowers emerge from the undergrowth.
And while nature has been busy, we've been working away in the background planning for the bigger beasts that will be arriving at Lynbreck in the not too distant future. We've put in an order for our first 3 pigs which will arrive in late September. We've chosen a native breed called Oxford Sandy and Black – they are super hardy, super hairy and super cute. We've got lots of jobs lined up for them.
And come next Spring we have this young lassie joining us.
Ronnie (and one of her pals) will be coming to live at Lynbreck along with a few others. They will be put to work on munching down our rank grassland and helping us to restore it to something much more diverse with lots of different grasses and wildflowers.
So things have been busy as ever here, but for now, we must get back to that raindance…..

If Algieba was in a galaxy far far away, it would be a strong contender for containing a similar planet to Tatooine, the home planet of Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. Although the exoplanet that is detailed here is a gas giant, its quite possible that the star could have a rocky planet because rocky planets such as our Earth and Mars are small and not easy to spot. Whilst some rocky planets have been spotted, small rocky planets are still to be spotted.
Gamma Leonis (Gam01 Leo) is the Bayer Classification for the star. The Bayer Classification was created by Johann Bayer in the early nineteenth century. The brightest star in the constellation is normally given the Alpha designation although there are exceptions such as Pollux which is Beta Geminorum.
The Id of the star in the Yale Bright Star Catalogue is HR4057. HIP50583 is the reference name for the star in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalogue is HD89484.
Algieba has alternative name(s) :- , NSV 04823.
Flamsteed designations are named after the creator, Sir John Flamsteed. Sir John numbered the stars in the constellation with a number and the latin name, this star's Flamsteed designation is 41 Leonis A with it shortened to 41 Leo A.
BD number is the number that the star was filed under in the Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung, a star catalogue that was put together by the Bonn Observatory between 1859 to 1903. The star's BD Number is BD+20 2467.
More details on objects' alternative names can be found at Star Names .
The location of the giant star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For Algieba, the location is 10h 19m 58.16 and +19° 50` 30.7 .
All stars like planets orbit round a central spot, in the case of planets, its the central star such as the Sun. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. The star is moving -154.28 ± 0.32 milliarcseconds/year towards the north and 304.30 ± 0.52 milliarcseconds/year east if we saw them in the horizon.
The Radial Velocity, that is the speed at which the star is moving away/towards the Sun is -36.24 km/s with an error of about 0.18 km/s . When the value is negative then the star and the Sun are getting closer to one another, likewise, a positive number means that two stars are moving away. Its nothing to fear as the stars are so far apart, they won't collide in our life-time, if ever.
Luminosity is the amount of energy that a star pumps out and its relative to the amount that our star, the Sun gives out. The figure of 343.59 that I have given is based on the value in the Simbad Hipparcos Extended Catalogue at the University of Strasbourg from 2012.
Algieba has a spectral type of K0III. This means the star is a orange to red giant star. The star has a B-V Colour Index of 1.12 which means the star's temperature has been calculated using information from Morgans @ Uni.edu at being 4,628 Kelvin.
Radius has been calculated as being 22.19 times bigger than the Sun. The Sun's radius is 695,800km, therefore the star's radius is an estimated 15,438,679.86.km. If you need the diameter of the star, you just need to multiple the radius by 2. However with the 2007 release of updated Hipparcos files, the radius is now calculated at being round 22.92. The figure is derived at by using the formula from SDSS and has been known to produce widely incorrect figures. The star's solar mass is 1.23 times that of the Sun's. The Sun's Mass is 1,989,100,000,000,000,000,000 billion kg. which to calculate using this website is too large. To give idea of size, the Sun is 99.86% the mass of the solar system.
The star's metallicity is -0.510000, this value is the fractional amount of the star that is not Hydrogen (X) or Helium (Y). An older star would have a high metallicity whereas a new star would have a lower one.
Algieba has an apparent magnitude of 2.01 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. If you used the 1997 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -0.92 If you used the 2007 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -0.99. Magnitude, whether it be apparent/visual or absolute magnitude is measured by a number, the smaller the number, the brighter the Star is. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. A faint star will have a high number.
Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 25.96 which gave the calculated distance to Algieba as 125.64 light years away from Earth or 38.52 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 125.64 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
In 2007, Hipparcos data was revised with a new parallax of 25.07 which put Algieba at a distance of 130.10 light years or 39.89 parsecs. It should not be taken as though the star is moving closer or further away from us. It is purely that the distance was recalculated.
Using the 2007 distance, the star is roughly 8,227,845.79 Astronomical Units from the Earth/Sun give or take a few. An Astronomical Unit is the distance between Earth and the Sun. The number of A.U. is the number of times that the star is from the Earth compared to the Sun.
The star's Galacto-Centric Distance is 7,419.00 Parsecs or 24,198.06 Light Years. The Galacto-Centric Distance is the distance from the star to the Centre of the Galaxy which is Sagittarius A*. Algieba brightness ranges from a magnitude of 2.200 to a magnitude of 2.160 over its variable period. The smaller the magnitude, the brighter the star. Its variable/pulsating period lasts for 0.0 days (variability).
The Daytime Gamma Leonids Meteor Shower radiants from a point near this star. The meteor shower runs typically between with a peak date of 22th August. The speed of a meteor in the shower is 20 Km/s.
The Gamma Leonids Meteor Shower radiants from a point near this star. The meteor shower runs typically between Aug 14-Sept 12 with a peak date of Aug. 25/26.
The source of the information if it has a Hip I.D. is from Simbad, the Hipparcos data library based at the University at Strasbourg, France. Hipparcos was a E.S.A. satellite operation launched in 1989 for four years. The items in red are values that I've calculated so they could well be wrong. Information regarding Metallicity and/or Mass is from the E.U. Exoplanets. The information was obtained as of 12th Feb 2017.

The star has been identified as being a multi-star system, one in which there is at least one star in close orbit to another star or two or more stars orbiting a central point. The stars may be of equal mass, unequal mass where one star is stronger than the other or be in groups orbiting a central point which doesn't necessarily have to be a star. More information can be found on my dedicated multiple star systems page. The source of the info is Simbad. The file is dated 2000 so any differences between this and any other source will be down to the actual source from where the information came from.

This is a N.A.S.A. impression of what the solar system might look like. If the star is not on display, its because its so small compared to the orbits of the outer planets. The green area denotes the habital zone which if the planet is within that area, life could exist. The habital zone might not appear on the picture because its outside the area for the picture. Our planets show the orbit of the planet if its was in our solar system. For more information about the planet and other exoplanetary stuff, visit N.A.S.A.

From Ron Lewin
In October 1976 Jim Callaghan gave a speech at Oxford, which centred on the poor state of the UK economy. He concluded with a plea for students leaving our Universities to make a contribution to wealth creation in the UK.
This speech started a whole train of initiatives, one of which was the Department of Trade and Industry setting up an Industry Education Unit headed by Dr Eric Bates. Eric was a regular visitor to Fulmer before he joined the DTI and knew of some of our initiatives to encourage young students into science. The result was that he invited us to submit a proposal to develop the work further.
The funds were not sufficient to allow us to spend much time on the project but Norman Waterman, David Davies, John Denison and I fitted the work in between more conventional Fulmer activities. Our director, Dr Eric Duckworth, should be given the credit for his personal involvement. He said to me 'If you really believe in the value of this work then you need to spend most of your efforts to get it off the ground'. These were wise words.
I was very concerned that we would soon use up our funding but had no idea of the collusion between Dr Duckworth and Dr Bates. They both were very committed to finding ways to attract more able pupils into science and technology. The result was a gentle stream of funds being made available as the project grew.
We started in a modest way with six schools, three from Buckinghamshire and three from Berkshire. The project continued and made a contribution to both the Science and Technology Documents in The Education Reform Act 1987.
Dr Eric Duckworth said publicly that the Fulmer Industry Education Project was one of the most important pieces of work we had ever undertaken.

Hulkamania is running wild again in the WWE.
Hulk Hogan, perhaps the biggest star in the company's 50-year history, is set to bring the red-and-yellow back to the sports entertainment behemoth and will host the April 6 WrestleMania in New Orleans.
Hogan returns to the WWE after a six-year absence and will be on Monday's ''Raw'' on the USA Network. Hogan will also bring the muscle for the WWE's launch of its own network: He will appear on ''WWE Raw Backstage Pass,'' airing live on WWE Network at 11:05 p.m. on Monday night.
The 60-year-old Hogan's return is perfectly timed for both the 30th WrestleMania and the new network, which debuts Monday as a streaming service for $9.99 per month with a six-month commitment and will include all 12 pay-per-view events.
Hogan was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years in WWE's signature event, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and, yes, company chairman Vince McMahon. He's in shape and could be ready to mix it up, if needed, at the Superdome.
''Right now, it's not in the plans,'' Hogan said. ''But like they say in the WWE, never say never.''
