"Like a rawer, dirtier version of the Rolling Stones," at least that's how those who were in the know back in mid '60s London described the Pretty Things.
Unfortunately for the Pretty Things, they weren't really all that pretty. Not as pretty as Mick, Keith, Brian, and the boys at least. Nor were there songs quite as enduring as the likes of "Ruby Tuesday," "Jumping Jack… Read More

Hello and welcome to the Ergo Assessor blog…
Our key aim for the site is to create awareness for ergonomics within the working environment, particularly in the office. But also as people begin to work more from home or other locations- it is important to understand that we can work safely in having great tools that allow us to work and adapt safe and healthy postures throughout our working day.
Ergonomics is the study of people's efficiency in their working environment
Do you have staff members reporting issues of being uncomfortable whilst working in the office environment?
This could be a combination of known medical conditions, pregnancy, return to work scenarios or situations that have escalated since being at work.
If so, we can help with a DSE Ergonomic Workplace Assessment
How does a DSE Assessment work?
The DSE (Display Screen Equipment) Workplace Assessment provides the employer with a complete report for both the individual and workstation set-up. This will cover a summary of the users current situation, equipment set-up, remedial action recommended and any other considerations.
Why have a DSE Workplace Assessment?
DSE assessments are a legal requirement. Every 2 years you should schedule an assessment. If you have a change in work role this is also a requirement.

In a pickle with the Police
On the Thursday before the wedding I was driving home with the car stuffed to the brim with booze. Jake was squashed into a corner of the back seat by 4 cases of wine and I had beer in the boot and Rakı in the front, so I suppose it was sod's law that I got stopped by the traffic police for a routine check. Aware in these increasingly alcohol-averse times that I was a mobile caricature of a middle-aged ex-pat, I started to explain about the wedding but the cop wasn't interested. My compulsory road insurance was out of date. Now I was pretty confident that it wasn't but my agent was on holiday so I rang her assistant. She was on a course in Istanbul but answered anyway but couldn't do anything until her lecture finished. So being Turkish, I ignored my British reticence to disturb a well earned holiday and rang my agent's mobile and she, being Turkish, answered, even though she was on a beach. She was equally sure that I was legal, having faced me three times in the past three months. She would ring back in 5 minutes. She didn't. By this time I had been asked to step out of the car and a fine had been issued, as according to the polite policeman, the computer is never wrong and my insurance had run out (but my tax and fully comp insurance were fine, but that didn't cut any ice). By now Jake was also out of the car and we were both sitting in the roadside traffic office, tea had been provided plus the number of an insurance agent to get me the required piece of paper as my agent had suddenly remembered that she was on holiday and wasn't returning calls. But the car was still in Teo's name as I'd been desperately trying to finish the paper work for the two houses before Esi's wedding. As Teo was no more, I couldn't buy the insurance - stalemate. The car would be towed away. I'm glad to say I found this situation funny, the only real annoyance was that I had had my always-messy car valeted that morning as I was picking up family from the airport later in the day. The friend I rang also laughed when I explained what had happened but did arrange a hire car for me. My son-in-law-to-be was very gracious in driving 35kms to collect me, the dog and the booze and taking me home, and my house guests very kindly drove me to the airport to collect the hire car so I could pick up my family. Even the policeman said he was very sorry to have stopped me and if he'd known about my husband he wouldn't have. (Not sure how I could have indicated my newly widowed status while driving - suggestions please below)
Eight days later I got my car back after a 90 TL fine paid at a government approved bank, 150TL notary expenses to change the car into my name, 1,850 TL for compulsory insurance (it was 500 last year, but I had to use the probate to do it as you can't change the name without insurance unless the maximum possible is charged), 85 TL for a change of log book, 480 TL for the hire car and 330TL to get my car out of the pound. Just the kind of expense one needs after a wedding! And if there is a moral to this story I think it is either 'ride a bicycle', 'don't die' or 'immediately burst into tears if a policeman stops you'.

That is just cruelDelete
Annie, Heavens. We were getting the 'Free Annie' signs ready (although those kinds of things are a bit sensitive these days). I'm with the majority. Take the 'burst into tears' option. I used to be capable of putting on the 'confused little old lady' act when I used to have to face traffic police (it's easy because it's so close to reality). I think it probably works even better in Turkey than in the U.S. Glad it's over.ReplyDeleteReplies
My 70s upbringing really doesn't fit with the tears optionDelete
Oh, wow. Yeah, tears and act as dim as possible whenever we're stopped (never got to the tears stage but sure I could rustle some up if ever need be). Definitely sod's law that you had all that in the car and so much to do when you got stopped...and I almost ended up feeling sorry for the polite young policeman in your post, too. Glad you managed a smile. xReplyDeleteReplies
I felt a bit sorry for him too.Delete

How to Become an Occupational Health Nurse
Occupational health nurses are responsible for ensuring safety in the workplace, and they are often the first ones on call when an injury occurs on the job. If you think you would do well as an occupational health nurse, you will need to go through the necessary training to become one. The guide here explains how to become an occupational nurse, from the college education to the certification and beyond. Every occupational health nurse goes through a slightly different process to start his or her career, so you may need to adjust this slightly to reflect your situation. If you remain dedicated to the process, you should be able to enter into a rewarding career path.
Step 0 – Determine If This Is the Right Career for You
Before you can learn how to become an occupational health nurse, you need to figure out if this is the right career for you. Qualities of a good occupational health nurse include:
- The ability to work on a team
- A keen eye for occupational health hazards
- A general knowledge of medical issues and solutions
- An approachable, kind, and caring personality
- The ability to work in stressful situations
Occupational health nurses work in businesses, not hospitals. Thus you will need to be capable of adjusting to new work environments based on the employers you work under. As an occupational health specialist, you will need to understand the dangers of your work place and do whatever it takes to help people avoid them. You may be asked to consult with the management team for a company to figure out ways to promote employee safety, or you may be called upon to watch over a certain sector of a company. Whatever the case may be, you have to be flexible enough to get the job done. If you think this sounds like the perfect opportunity for you, read the rest of this guide to learn how to become an occupational health nurse.
Step 1 – Get an Education
To become an occupational health nurse, you will need to obtain a college degree in nursing. There are several different options to consider, and almost all of them could lead you to a career in some communities. Possible degree programs include:
- Diploma in Nursing (DN)
- Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN)
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
- Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
If you want to have guaranteed employment no matter where you go, you need to go through a four year baccalaureate program. That will allow you to have all knowledge you need to work as an RN or an occupational health nurse in the future. If you want to work in management, education, or research, you will need to pursue an MSN or higher. This will take an additional two years of education, but you can work while you go through your degree. You can always take online classes to give you the best scheduling options possible, or you can try to maneuver your work schedule around your time on campus. That is up to you.
Step 2 – Pass a Licensure Exam
With your education behind you, you will be able to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to obtain your RN certification. Then you will be able to work alongside other nurses because you can show that you know enough to successfully get through this career field. If you do not pass your exam in the first round, you can retake it until you gain your nursing license.
Step 3 – Gain Work Experience
You may need to work in a hospital setting for at least a year before becoming an occupational health nurse. Some people do this when they complete their associate's degree program, especially if they are taking courses online. If you obtain your RN certification early enough, you can work while you go to school so you can enter the field right after graduation.
Step 4 – Find a Job
Finding a job as an occupational health nurse should not be too difficult because there is a high demand for these workers at the moment. You may want to look at some of the salary opportunities in different businesses because some pay better than others. As long as you have the right education and experience to apply for a job, you should be able to secure a steady income well into the future.

My Spring | Summer 2017 Trend Magazine has just gone on sale click here to buy the magazine online or click here to email me about purchasing the PDF version that I can invoice you for via PayPal.
A note from the Author Emily Kiddy.
Welcome to the second edition of my seasonal kidswear Trend Magazine. This season we are looking ahead to Spring | Summer 2017!
This season we embark on a journey around the globe taking colour and inspiration from a range of cultures and traditions. We start the season by looking at a pre-spring transitional trend that draws inspiration from a mix of southern USA and Mexican cultures inspired by ranch life and work wear. This trend has a beautiful organic earthly tone colour palette inspired by the warmth and agricultural environments in these two areas. These palettes are beautifully suited to lightweight knits and twills you might find at this point in the season.
As we head into early spring, our nautical inspired trend 'Spring Tide' is introduced with a typical nautical palette mixed with fun fresh hues and highlights to modernise it taking it away from the traditional sea of Breton stripes and typical nautical prints we have seen in the past! This trend filters beautifully through older, younger and baby boys and girls.
We then zoom into our summer trends with our first stop inspired by the USA state of Florida and its mix of funky, fun and quirky Miami influences for girls and a more soft laid back influence from Key West and surf cultures for Boys. This is a really fun laid back trend with a bright hazy colour palette to give kidswear a lift for the Summer season.
Next we look at the United Kingdom drawing influence from the busy bustling streets of London and the melting pot of cultures, languages, food and colour that becomes so vibrant and signature of the city in the height of the summertime. Portobello Belle for girls and Shoreditch Dude for boys are both really fun bright colour clash trends with a nod towards sport and street wear styling. In these trends anything goes as long as it's fun, bold and vibrant!
Our final trend for the season is 'Tropica' for both boys and girls and ties up the long season with a toned down colour palette with deeper tones ready for the introduction of new layering pieces as the seasons begin to switch again. Influenced by tropical island life worldwide and the remoteness of so many of these destinations that become often busy over the summer with tourism. Think back beach palms, drinking from coconuts, street foods and a mix of bright colours. This is a really beautiful trend to end the season with.
I hope you enjoy all the trends I have created for this season as much as I have enjoyed putting them together! I would also like to thank you for purchasing my trend magazine and hope that it inspires you with lots of creative ideas!
To find out more about me and how I came up with the idea of my trend magazine please see the rear cover of the magazine.

Bluff Called… Republicans Demand Buffett's Tax Returns
Bluff Called.
Senate Republicans demanded that Warren Buffett, the namesake of Obama's tax hikes, turn over his tax returns so they can be compared to his secretary's returns.
Buffett says his secretary pays more taxes than he does.
Republicans want to see Buffett's tax returns.
The Hill reported:
The GOP is making a concerted effort to pressure billionaire investment guru Warren Buffett to release his tax returns to the public.
Republicans say Buffett — the public face of Obama's proposed "Buffett rule" to increase taxes on the wealthy — needs to reveal his finances if his views on tax rates are going to serve as the basis for Obama administration policy.
"Will Warren Buffett release his tax returns so we can see why he should be the standard for tax policy?" Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) questioned in a tweet Thursday.
"If he's going to be the gold standard, so to speak, in terms of what our tax policy should be, yeah, let's look at it [his tax returns]," Cornyn told ABC News.
Buffett's ties to the administration don't end with the tax plan. He is also helping the president fundraise for his reelection campaign and has become a vocal champion of the administration's deficit-reduction goals.
Buffett called on the administration to raise taxes on him and his "mega-rich" friends in an op-ed earlier in the year, and claimed he pays taxes at a lower rate than his secretary.

President Obama on the Gulf Coast: 'Come Down Here and Visit'
Travel Blog • Eva Holland • 06.14.10 | 4:38 PM ET
The POTUS is visiting the Gulf Coast today—and he's urging other Americans to do the same. USA Today's The Oval blog quotes Obama:
There's still a lot of opportunity for visitors to come down here. There are a lot of beaches that have not been affected and will not be affected. If people want to help, the best way to help is to come down here and visit.
The Oval dubs the suggestion "oil spill tourism," but I'm not sure voyeur-style disaster tourism is quite what Obama has in mind. Still, whether it comes in the form of beachgoers who manage to avoid the spill or the morbidly curious aiming to witness its effects, it's good to see tourism to the beleaguered area being encouraged.
Can't make it in person anytime soon? World Hum contributor Robert Reid is tweeting from the Florida panhandle. Elsewhere, The Big Picture has a sobering photo essay illustrating the spill's effects nearly two months in.
4 Comments for President Obama on the Gulf Coast: 'Come Down Here and Visit'
Suzi 06.14.10 | 11:49 PM ET
One of the unfortunate outcomes of trouble/disaster is that people tend to stay away once it hits. It's understandable, of course - if you're looking for a beautiful vacation on the beach, you don't want it ruined by an oil spill - but what an area really needs when it's had a spot of trouble or a major disaster is for people to come and spend their money so things can get fixed. Hopefully in this case, BP will be spending LOTS of money in the Gulf states to help fix this latest disaster! Thanks for the post!!
Mike Richard 06.15.10 | 5:05 AM ET
This is the great move taken by Amrican President Mr. Obama..i am sure it will help to improve visitors in Gulf Coast..
Grizzly Bear Mom 06.18.10 | 11:32 AM ET
I dunno, it is like President Bush saying spend money after 9/11?
Akumal Villas 06.24.10 | 3:58 PM ET
Really interesting. Hopefully the mess will start to get cleared up soon, but really, I'm not sure people are going to trust him enough to actually go.

- Build Your Reputation: The more you share free content online that is helpful and inspiring the greater your presence as a thought-leader, speaker, teacher, and expert in your field is known. Sharing blogs, articles, videos, podcasts, images, art, writing and social media posts online makes your message more well known and shows that you are knowledgeable about your niche. As people learn about who you are through high-quality social media content and find your posts helpful, then people will share your info, referrals will be coming in from your community, and opportunities to network online manifest organically through guest blogging, teleseminars and more.
- Create an Online Platform: If you are interested in growing your business into being a published author or a paid speaker in your field than it's important to create a strong social media presence for your brand. Book publishers today are interested in authors who have a significant presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and more. Growing your business through social media connects you with current and new customers, weaves connections in your online community and opens the way from greater opportunities to be of service for healthy living to develop in writing, teaching and more.
As a conscious entrepreneur today, you can bring health, wellness and prosperity to people in a powerful way through your work and calling. Through sharing your creative content online through blogging, videos, podcasting or social media, you can reach many more people both locally and globally while growing your business.
Get connected and share your wisdom!
Health, abundance + blessings,

Christianity in the Information Age
I'm currently reading through Present Perfect: Finding God in the Now by Greg Boyd. I'll give a fuller review/commentary later, but I found this section last night particularly poignant.
Around five hundred years ago Western culture underwent what's called "the scientific revolution." At that time our culture discovered that, with the right information, the laws of nature could be harnessed to our advantage. We learned that "knowledge is power." This mind-set has produced a culture of people who put a great deal of trust in information. We tend to assume there is no problem that can't be resolved if only we acquire the right information.
This is one of the reasons why many contemporary Western Christians place so much stress on hearing sermons, engaging in Bible studies, reading books, and attending seminars and conferences. We believe that acquiring information is the key to helping us grow spiritually and solving our personal and social problems.
Of course, it can't be denied that sometimes information helps people grow and sometimes helps people solve problems. But it also can't be denied that, while knowledge may give us power in all other areas of life, it does not on its own empower us to become more Christlike. When it comes to living in the Kingdom, moment-by-moment, our typical Western confidence in information is misplaced….
One could argue that our historically unprecedented confidence in the power of information is part of the problem. Why do so many Christians today spend more time listening to sermons or reading books than they do feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, welcoming outcasts, visiting prisoners, or engaging in other activities Jesus said should characterize Kingdom people? I suspect it's at least partly because many believe they're already living in the Kingdom by virtue of the fact that they're learning about the Kingdom. The truth is that there is no necessary connection between these two things….
The challenge of living in the Kingdom is not about figuring it out. There's really nothing to figure out! The challenge, rather, is in submitting to it.The only information we need to know is that the love of God that was revealed on Calvary surrounds us at every moment and the supreme goal of our life is to surrender to it. The question then is, Will we do this?
I'm a theology student. I spend a lot of hours a week thinking about God. Apart from classes, I listen to at least 3 sermons a week, read blogs, follow other podcasts, and sit around in Bible Study discussing and thinking even more. Thinking. I'd like to think I spend some hours living the Kingdom of God, too. But the majority of my time is thinking about the Kingdom of God without doing anything about it. I know I'm not alone on this – maybe I'm an extreme but in my experience it is a common trend in Western Christianity to be obsessed with information over wisdom. This is definitely a very tough challenge for me, but I want to share it to you as well. How much is the quest for more information stopping you from surrendering to the life of the Kingdom of God?

After several years of a community-led planning and discussion, the City Council unanimously adopted a long-term vision for the Grandview District as documented in the 2012 Development Framework. After additional discussion and planning in 2013-2014, it is now time to begin implementing this vision.
The 3.3-acre site, 5146 Eden Ave., was formerly used by Edina's Public Works Department and has been vacant since 2010 when Public Works moved to a new location. The City is working in partnership with Frauenshuh Commercial Real Estate Group to prepare possible mixed-use scenarios to reuse the vacant site.
Over the years, there have been many thoughtful ideas regarding the site. This is the time to renew a serious conversation about what the community truly needs on the site and what the taxpayers are willing to support. Please share your thoughts and ideas!

Re-investigate Garry Lee Rogers death . . .
Heard of Gary Lee Rogers? No? Kevin Rudd and Federal Police Chief Tony Negus have. He was an honest cop who died in mysterious circumstances after blowing the whistle on corruption. So after last weekend's press revelations (21 Feb, Herald Sun), "Australian Airport Staff Smuggle Drugs and Guns," maybe it's time to re-investigate Gary's "Natural" death, after he was found with a bloodied knife and pillow. He'd also warned friends and associates that if he disappeared, it wouldn't be suicide. So what's bottom line? If honest cops aren't safe, none of us are.
Update 30 August 2011 - A Petition calling for a Royal Commission into The Australian Federal Police
Update 3 Sept 2011 - A new blog about Gary Lee Rogers that contains many buried news articles about this brave officer.

Complaint to Tony Negus, current AFP Chief . . .
Dear Claire, (CC The World)
I've just called the Australian Federal Police on 07 3222 1222 and asked them to investigate Mick Keelty's apparent (for the moment, until I can ANY official response at all), lies and corrupt behaviour in relation to the Schapelle Corby issues:
(scroll down to section 11)
They assured me (when I asked), that my call was being recorded - and they also have my full name and contact details, which I gave them before they even asked. I also assured them that I'm merely a middle aged registered nurse, bent on a legal and peaceful path at all times. Further, I asked for the information I was giving them to be passed straight on to Tony Negus, and strongly suggested that Tony Negus should contact you re the grass roots publicity this issue has already received, and will continue to receive. I also mentioned Gary Lee Rogers, and the questions that many people are still asking about his death. The woman I was speaking to didn't know who Gary Lee Rogers was, but I assured her that both Mick Keelty and Tony Negus would recognise the name immediately.
Regards, Kim

More questions to Kevin Rudd . . .
The questions I would like to ask Rudd are as follows:
- 1. Are Australians taking commercial quantities of marijuana to Bali?
2. What investigations have been done to validate this alleged flow of drugs?
3. Since no such flow of drugs appears to have been validated by a lack of seizures and arrests, why is Schapelle Corby still in prison?
4. Why wasn't the complete lack of motive for Schapelle's crime made clear at her trial, to the Indonesian government, to the UN, and in applications to the Hague?
5. Which was the truth and which were the lies? That the Brisbane CCTV footage was in good order and disappeared, that the cameras were under repair, or that the cameras were only switched on when persons of importance were known to be at the airport?
6. Since all three stories cannot be true, at least two of them are proven lies. What investigation was carried out and what disciplinary action was taken against the liars?
7. Why was there a need to lie if the Brisbane CCTV footage did not present a political dillema?
8. How could there be a political dilemma if the Brisbane CCTV footage was inconclusive or showed Schapelle to be guilty?
9. Why was it problematic for the Australian government to present evidence at Schapelle's trial? Why was this regarded as interference rather than assistance?
10. Surely it would have been assistance if she were guilty and only interference if she were innocent?
11. Since Indonesia claims to be a democracy surely they didn't want to convict the wrong person. How can a court that claims to adhere to the rule of law never be wrong?
12. Given that Australia's national heroes such as the convicts, the diggers at Eureka, Ned Kelley and the Anzacs were all 'Australian battlers' before being used, abandoned, victimised, framed and sacrificed by those governing this nation of ours to appease some foreign power, what hope do you and your predecessor have, Prime Minister, that you will not also be demonised in history when a bronze statue of Schapelle Corby marks the houses of parliament with the words 'Never again appeasement' to herald in the new republic? With what excuse should coming generations remember you?
That's just a few from the top of my head. The point is that "What are you doing to get Schapelle home" is the question our government wants us to ask because they have a ready answer that equates to 'we are doing all we can to bring every criminal home'."

News Release
FINRA Fines Wells Investment Securities $300,000 for Use of Misleading Marketing Materials for REIT Offering
WASHINGTON — The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) announced today that it has fined Wells Investment Securities, Inc. $300,000 for using misleading marketing materials in the sale of Wells Timberland REIT, Inc., a non-traded Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).
Wells was the dealer-manager and wholesaler for the public offering of Wells Timberland REIT, which invested in timber-producing land. As the wholesaler, Wells reviewed, approved and distributed the marketing materials for Wells Timberland. FINRA found that from May 2007 through September 2009, Wells reviewed, approved and distributed 116 advertising and sales materials containing misleading, unwarranted or exaggerated statements. For example, Wells Timberland's initial offering prospectus stated that it intended to qualify as a REIT for the tax year that ended Dec. 31, 2006; however, it did not qualify for REIT election until the tax year that ended Dec. 31, 2009. The majority of the advertisements and sales literature failed to disclose the significance of Wells Timberland's non-REIT status or suggested that Wells Timberland was a REIT at a time when in fact it had not qualified as a REIT. The communications also contained misleading statements regarding Wells Timberland's portfolio diversification and ability to make distributions and redemptions.
Although non-traded REITs are generally illiquid, often for periods of eight years or more, they can avoid particular tax consequences if they qualify under certain Internal Revenue Service requirements. The Wells advertisements at issue did not make it clear to potential investors who might be seeking such favorable tax treatment, that the investment at issue was not yet a REIT and therefore would not be able to offer the desired tax benefits at the time the ads were being used.
On Oct. 4, 2011, FINRA issued an Investor Alert called Public Non-Traded REITs – Perform a Careful Review Before Investing to help investors understand the benefits, risks, features and fees of these investments.
Brad Bennett, FINRA Executive Vice President and Chief of Enforcement, said, "By approving and distributing marketing materials with ambiguous and equivocal statements, Wells misled investors into thinking Wells Timberland was a REIT at a time when it was not a REIT. Firms need to be mindful that investors rely on marketing materials to disclose truthful, accurate and up-to-date information to help inform their investment decisions."
FINRA's investigation also found that Wells failed to have supervisory procedures in place to ensure that sensitive customer and proprietary information stored on laptops were being adequately safeguarded by appropriate encryption technology.
In concluding this settlement, the firm neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA's findings.
FINRA's investigation was conducted by Scott Andersen, Ellen McCarthy, Robert Moreiro, Chun Li and Robert Butani, with the assistance of FINRA's Advertising Regulation and Corporate Financing Departments.
Investors can obtain more information about, and the disciplinary record of, any FINRA-registered broker or brokerage firm by using FINRA's BrokerCheck. FINRA makes BrokerCheck available at no charge. In 2010, members of the public used this service to conduct 17.2 million reviews of broker or firm records. Investors can access BrokerCheck at www.finra.org/brokercheck or by calling (800) 289-9999. Investors may find copies of this disciplinary action as well as other disciplinary documents in FINRA's Disciplinary Actions Online database.
FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States. FINRA is dedicated to investor protection and market integrity through effective and efficient regulation and complementary compliance and technology-based services. FINRA touches virtually every aspect of the securities business – from registering and educating all industry participants to examining securities firms, writing and enforcing rules and the federal securities laws, informing and educating the investing public, providing trade reporting and other industry utilities, and administering the largest dispute resolution forum for investors and registered firms.

Hello, Two situations please: 1) Defender fouls an attacker and the ref plays advantage, during which the attacker who was fouled, now fouls the opponent. Where is the restart? 2) Defender fouls an attacker and the ref plays advantage, during which the second defender fouls this attacker again. Where is the restart? Thanks!
Hi Petr 1. It is likely that advantage has not been realised on the first foul so the referee will go back to the original foul to award that. The referee can still take disciplinary action on either foul yet the restart will be the original foul. If advantage has been fully realised after the first foul then that has passed and the next foul can be awarded.2. On this scenario it is likely that the second foul will be more advantageous so the referee can award that foul. An example could be a foul outside the ornalty area followed by a second foul inside the area. Obviously the penalty kick will be more advantageous. The referee can also sanction the defender for BOTH fouls with two cautions should both merit a card and that results in a red card..
Hi Petr, 1. If the referee is still waiting to see if the advantage will ensue, I would say it is more likely that they would go back to the original foul. 2. Assuming the second foul is in a more advantageous position than the first, I would say the restart should be at the location of the second foul. After all, that's pretty much what advantage is about.

When I say blog graphics I mean pictures, info graphics pretty much any visuals that go on my blog. I have a few ways and few sites that I use to get my pictures just perfect.
My camera does not have manual setting so that blur background that you always see, yep I create it myself. I use Pic monkey for this. Pic monkey is an amazing photo editing website. There is so much you can do on it for free. There are some other features though that are for paid members but the free version also has sufficient features.
Taking pictures.
When you take pictures you need to make sure that it is appealing here are a few things I do
- Make sure that I use natural light
- Always try to add props like flowers etc.
- Try different angles when taking pictures
So after taking an amazing picture:
- I upload it on pic monkey.
- I then crop out anything that I don't want in the picture or any white space.
- I go to the effects section
- Then scroll down to the focal view effect
- I start by adjusting the view to my liking
- I then adjust the blur level I don't like it tooo blurry.
- Then I continue to save. When saving you have three options I usually go with Sean which is the biggest and the best quality
Aah… the fun stuff when you want to put together an info doccie for your readers that they can refer to. Info graphics summarises your post and makes it easier to read. For this I use Canva.
- I either take the pictures myself or find them on the company website If it is a product and I want a clean white background
- I then upload them on canva
- Then I place them to my liking and export.
There is so much to play around with and it is absolutely free.

2016 Lincoln MKX Release Date and Price
The Lincoln MKX concept was first unveiled at the 2014 Beijing auto show. It was the first time this American automaker premiered one of its models outside the US. The decision came as part of the company's efforts to establish itself on other world markets. The arrival of the all-new MKX isn't that surprising considering the fact that the premium crossover SUV segment is expanding at an incredible rate. However, the second-generation MKX is facing yet another problem, namely the pricing policy. Its sibling, the Ford Edge, is considerably cheaper while offering the same performance figures. On the other hand, it's needless to mention the similarly priced Japanese and European luxury SUV competition. So, the 2016 Lincoln MKX will have to offer a competitive price as well as high performance and luxury in the same package.
2016 Lincoln MKX Redesign
The completely redesigned 2016 MKX will come with a more aggressive styling compared to its predecessor. Some of the most prominent design cues include its split-wing grille, the side creases as well as the hood strikes. Thanks to its sleek new lines and floating roof spoiler, the MKX is currently one of the most appealing models iin the segment. Its new LED headlights have been integrated into the Lincoln's signature front grille. By adding 21-inches alloy wheels, the vehicle gets a new athletic stance that differs greatly from the previous version. To put it simply, the 2016 Lincoln MKX boasts the class-leading exterior styling.
The redesigned model will be available in only one trim level but there will be several equipment packages to choose from. The range-topping version of the 2016 Lincoln MKX will come as the Black Label edition.
2016 MKX Engine Options
The new MKX is expected to borrow the same V6 engine from its predecessor. This 3.7-liter unit offers excellent performance figures. However, it disappoints when it comes to fuel economy which is estimated at 21 mpg with FWD and 19 mpg with AWD. Rumor has it that the 2016 Lincoln MKX could add another engine to its power department. One of the likeliest candidates is a four-cylinder 2.3-liter EcoBoost unit. The engine was first presented inside the Ford Edge concept, generating 275 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. Another option is a 2.7-liter EcoBoost that powers the Ford F-150 pickup truck. Some reports suggest that the 2016 MKX might be offered with turbocharged four-cylinders as well as a hybrid powertrain.
The 2016 Lincoln MKX is expected to prove itself as one of the most competitive models in the mid-size crossover segment. This true American vehicle will start at $38,995 including a $925 destination charge. Which puts it in the same price range with the Cadillac SRX, Acura RDX and Lexus RX 350.

The New Era of Manufacturer/Distributor (or Dealer) Cooperation:
While this program is quite popular, it is offered only as a Keynote or General Session presentation. It is not available as a breakout or concurrent session.
Combining research with insight, and in an entertaining manner, Ed reveals erroneous beliefs held by supply chain partners. The fact is this; perceptions define reality. Too frequently needless conflict is created by flawed beliefs about what one's supply chain partner wants, needs and considers to be a positive value proposition. Learn what your competitors are learning about these blemished perceptions. Discover how to give and/or ask for the best Total Value Package available. Manufacturers and distributors and/or dealers learn how to turn around their sell/buy paradigm by discovering and understanding the needs of their distribution partner(s). Through intelligent sales offerings and purchasing practices, resources can be redirected to create more usable value for the supply chain. Learn the ABCs (adversarial, barometric & complementary) of manufacturer-distributor relationships. Discover why Ed say's, "Yes, you can do better!"
This program can also be adapted to contractor/supplier & manufacturer/agency cooperative relationships.
Program Research:
- Rigsbee surveys a sampling of both manufacturers and distributors from your association membership. Or, for corporate programs, surveys manufacturing management along with a sampling of the organization's dealer network.
- Questions are asked of manufacturers around where distributors can change their behavior to conserve manufacturer resources and also, what would be in it for the distributors if they did change.
- Both distributors and manufacturers are asked about areas where the other falls short of their commitment to their supply chain partner.
Program Results:
- Issues from both sides are synthesized and brought to the surface in a safe method, and without personal agendas getting in the way. While Rigsbee points out the foibles of both sides, he acts as a non-judgmental intermediary.
- Each side can view challenges through the window of their supply chain partner.
- Rigsbee delivers solutions based on his interviews and knowledge of what other industries have successfully achieved.
- Participants that enter with an open mind exit with implementation tactics for supply chain improvement.
(Special notice: Only select this program if your organization/industry is willing to hear the truths Rigsbee discovers through his research. If it is a "feel good" presentation that you desire, this is not the one to select.

Here, Husain emulated the composition of Michelangelo's early Pieta, withMother Teresa holding a young boy, possibly an orphan, on her lap. Husain is often inspired by Renaissance art and Mother Teresa's white sari with a blue border recalls the attire of saints. In this series, Husain demonstrated his ongoing concern with themes of motherhood and female sacrifice. His female figures are frequently faceless beings; his own mother died when he was two years old.

Historical overview
Julius Global Health was founded in 2011 by Prof. Diederick Grobbee, MD, PhD, with a two-fold focus: to conduct high impact (clinical) epidemiologic research that generates evidence contributing to improved individual and population health, and to educate new generations of researchers and health care workers across the globe.
Our global health research activities focus on Asia, Oceania and Africa, and draw on our expertise in (clinical) epidemiology in the areas of circulatory health, cancer, infectious disease, reproductive and child health, as well as environmental health at the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care in collaboration with our local and international partners.
Educational activities are closely linked to the research program and have expanded over the years to include courses in global health and offer research capacity training in international health sciences. Our latest development in this regard is Elevate Health, an e-learning platform offering worldwide online courses based on the health science expertise of the University Medical Center Utrecht and partner institutions.
Dr. Kerstin Klipstein-Grobusch has been a key character in setting up Julius Global Health. She joined the team as coordinating associate professor in March 2011 from the School of Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, while maintaining her academic appointment, research and educational activities in Johannesburg. Her research capacity building expertise and African network have been a great asset to Julius Global Health.
Since then, Julius Global Health as grown in size and expertise with Dr. Cuno Uiterwaal (early life origins of cardiovascular disease; clinical epidemiology), Dr. Lenny Verkooijen (cancer, clinical epidemiology), Dr. Ilonca Vaartjes (cardiovascular disease, data registries), Prof. Michiel Bots (atherosclerosis, hypertension, clinical trials), Prof. Roel Coutinho (infectious diseases, "One Health"), Prof. Mirjam Kretzschmar (mathematical modeling, infectious diseases), Prof. Irene Agyepong (health systems, public health) and Prof. Bert Brunekreef (environmental epidemiology).

So here it is, I been doing quite a lot of sewing here lately instead of scrapbooking and all I decided to make myself something to hang on the wall or door to my crafting room. I had this old handing sign laying around that I used when I had my old business Amber's Paw Stop and I thought it was about time I stared to recycle it. I painted it white I don't remember how many coats I had to put on to cover the old paint that we had on it. Then I attempted to do the technique where you use Mod Pudge to transfer printed Images onto a serface this kept going wrong and I finally gave up my attempt to transfer the Mom's Creative Corner onto the wood.

May Scrappers Delight Challenge
Today I am sharing with you a New Project I did for Mothers Day, the Idea was taken from the Challenge we were doing on our Facebook Page Scrappers Delight. Please join us on our next online even may it be a Challenge or a Swap. The May Challenge was to take two different brands of stamps and bring them together to create a new.
So I decided I would make a trip to Hobby Lobby and see what they had out for Mother's Day and well, I didn't find anything that interested me till I found the Tim Holtz section! WOW that was inspiring for sure this was a NEW section at my Hobby Lobby! I purchased his stamps with sewing and his Die Cute for the Cuttlebug, witch by the way I still love using! I finally had some creative flowing coming through. I originally purchased the little flowers I used for my daughters Fairy Costume I was making to match her American Girl Doll costume I made. I thought they seemed to fit nicely in this project too!
For images I used Magnolia Tilda Sweet Rainbow Coll. - Sweetie Tilda along with Shery K Designs vintage-furniture 006 and I merged GraphicFairy sewing printable vintage image all together to create the right side. I colored the image using a few different copic markers. For the background I just stamped right onto the wood using Tim Holtz stamps and his distress inks with his new spray. I found the spool of thread already decorated in my mix of things I had from when I was a little girl (been trying to clean house too.) Well I hope this projected inspired you to go out and try new things even if they don't come out the way you intend you can make something else out of it and it can still be beautiful!
Happy Crafting,

Friendship Friday – The Weekend
Weekends don't count unless you spend them
doing something completely pointless.
-Bill Watterson
Do you have anything special planned for this weekend?
What are your favorite weekend activities?
Share your thoughts!
I end up relaxing, catching up with the week's mails n updates from friends, doing my laundry, watching my favorite tele-series (community, himym, big bang theory, modern family and once upon a time)
I usually wake up at 5 am on weekdays to jog for an hour before I head for work, so weekends is when I can wake up whenever the hell I want and eat whatever the hell I desire! Also, Sundays I go swimming.
Sometimes I work part-time at Universal Studios or volunteer at SPCA but this weekend's off so I'll probably just laze around and do something pointless :)

While I've been a bit critical of The Last Guardian lately, I will admit this trailer is pretty cool. Granted it's all cinematic and contains no actual gameplay, but neither do most of the Final Fantasy trailers you see on TV. I'm willing to give this one a shot, but I wonder how the gaming community will respond to a game that's literally a generation old. Pick up the game December 6th.

Current work
I recently got a few emails from collectors that asked me " What are you working theses days." Above is one of the most recent painting I have finished. This piece will be in the Corridor Galley, in Seattle's Pioneer District at the beginning of next month and then it will make its way to the Zero Gallery, Portland Oregon. This painting has come to me in stages, it crystallized over 3 weeks. This work has to do with the the American economy and what is the future for America and the Middle East? I am not a political painter. I have no stance on these issues, only that I wish we could come to a conclusion that works for everyone. I listen to a lot of talk radio when I paint. I hear the news every 15 minutes so it has a way of sneaking into my work at times. Sorry the photo is so dark, it just means you will have to come see it. :-P De Leva...OUT!
Bear with me
Bear with me please, I am a painter not a writer. Last night I had 2 people ask me if I had a blog so that they could see what it is I am working on. I said to them, I tried Myspace, Facebook and Twitter and instantly lost interest. I tied blogging before but felt I was giving out too much information about myself, I am a little paranoid that way. However, in the last year I did find myself posting on the Steel Battalion fourms everyday. Maybe it is because the main interest is the game not painting. Maybe painting is too close to me so anything I write about seems like I am writing in a diary, you know TMI. Well Those 2 people above convinced me to start blogging today so I will try to keep it going. De Leva...OUT!

Pebble Beach
· Samuel F.B. Morse"s main focus in creating Pebble Beach was to sell real estate, and he decided that a destination golf course could serve as the foundation of the project. But Morse was on a tight budget, so he asked two prominent amateur golfers, Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, to design the course … for free. After the course opened in 1919, California Golf Association officials refused to bring their amateur championship to Pebble Beach because, they said, the 345-yard 18th hole was too easy. The hole was lengthened to 379 yards until 1922, when Morse commissioned British architect William Herbert Fowler to turn it into the 543-yard jewel it is today.
Pebble"s first professional tournament was the Monterey Peninsula Open in 1926; the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am didn"t move from Rancho Santa Fe to the Monterey Peninsula until 1947. Since then, Pebble has been host to five U.S. Opens and one PGA Championship, and the Open is scheduled to return in 2019.
It"s important to get off to a good start at Pebble, because the course toughens considerably after the first five holes. And if the wind is blowing, the oceanside holes can be downright
Course record: 62 by Tom Kite in 1983 and David Duval in 1997.
Key hole: The third shot to the par-5 14th is critical. Anything that doesn"t stop on the tabletop-like target almost certainly will result in a bogey … or worse.
Best place to watch: The green at No. 8 offers a great view of the ocean as well as one of the most harrowing second shots in golf.
Helpful hint: Get upgraded concessions at the United Fairway Club, which opened last year between the 17th and 18th holes. The new grandstand by the 17th green also proved popular.
Spyglass Hill
· Golf course architecture had become big business by the time the top designer in the industry, Robert Trent Jones Sr., was hired to build Spyglass Hill, which opened in March 1966. Robert Louis Stevenson"s classic novel, "Treasure Island," was inspired by his walks around the Spyglass area, and Samuel F.B. Morse was so fascinated by Stevenson"s work he decided to use it as the course"s theme. The course"s name and the names of its holes are all derived from places and characters in the book although, interestingly, no one knows exactly how Morse arrived at calling it Spyglass Hill. Until he got involved, the course was to be called Pebble Beach Pines.
Spyglass quickly became recognized as one of the toughest tests in golf and, despite its fledgling status, Bing Crosby decided to make it part of his tournament in 1967, replacing Monterey Peninsula Country Club. Spyglass also is in the rotation for the Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational along with Pebble Beach and Del Monte.
Spyglass usually provides the toughest test of the three courses in the tournament, especially when the course heads into Del Monte Forest on No. 6. There"s virtually no letup all the way through to the tough 18th.
Course record: 62 by Phil Mickelson in 2005 and Luke Donald in 2006.
Key hole: No. 16 ("Black Dog") consistently ranks as one of the toughest holes on the PGA Tour. It is the hardest in a series of long, grueling holes on the back nine.
Best place to watch: Camp out behind No. 4, which combines an extremely narrow green and sand covered in ice plant to make the target about as wide as a sidewalk.
Helpful hint: The area behind the ninth green is a great place to hang out. You can see the players up close and have access to a lot of different holes.
MPCC Shore Course
· First opened in 1960, the Shore Course was completely redesigned by Mike Strantz in 2003. He created 12 new holes and remodeled the other six in the final project of his life (he died of cancer in 2005). The result is a layout that combines the typically spectacular scenery of the Peninsula with a tournament-worthy test that has drawn raves from the pros, including Phil Mickelson, who called it one of his favorite courses on the PGA Tour. Strantz said he envisioned a course that "would appear to dance among the cypress trees," and it takes only one look at this masterpiece to see that he gracefully succeeded.
MPCC"s Dunes Course was part of the Crosby rotation from 1947 to 1964, and the Shore Course then was used for two years before being replaced by Spyglass Hill. The Shore made another cameo appearance in 1977.
Befitting its name, the Shore Course is more exposed to the ocean than Pebble Beach or Spyglass Hill and thus can be even more susceptible to the capricious February winds. It"s not as famous as Pebble Beach or as daunting as Spyglass Hill, but it"s still a great test, even without the
Course record: 61 by Charlie Wi in 2012.
Key hole: The ninth, a long par-3 that often is into the wind, finishes a tough stretch that includes the No. 1 handicap hole and a similarly lengthy par-3.
Best place to watch: At the epicenter of the redesign was the newly created 15th hole, where the green is wedged between the rocks of the ocean wall.
Helpful hint: The area around the 10th green and 11th tee offers access to several holes. Because this is a private course, the clubhouse is closed to spectators.

Sour Cherry Frangipane Tart
August 01st, 2007 | Category: Fruit, Tarts and Pies
Another fruit I am trying to eat as much as possible these days is sour cherries. The frozen stuff that I use throughout winter never comes close to these delicate berries. In addition to preserving some of them to enjoy for a couple more months and the occasional sour cherry sherbet, another recipe I am quite fond of is an adaptation of the Cherry Frangipane Galette from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook.
Instead of the tiresome process of preparing puff pastry, and because of the fact that there are twelve(!) discs of sweet tart dough ready to be used in my freezer, I baked a tart instead of a galette.
What I like most about this tart is the combination of different textures. There is the crumbly and buttery tart dough, then the frangipane filling, which is soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside, and lastly the sour berries that slap you in the face with each bite.
Ingredients – Sweet Tart Dough
Recipe from Dorie Greenspan's book "Baking: From My Home to Yours"
- 1+1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 stick plus 1 tbsp (9 tbsp) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 large egg yolk
Method – Sweet Tart Dough
- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190C) degrees.
- Pulse flour, sugar and salt in a food processor.
- Add butter and pulse until it resembles a coarse meal.
- Stir in the yolk and pulse again until the dough forms clumps and curds.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface and very lightly and sparingly, knead just to incorporate dry ingredients.
- Butter a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Freeze crust at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake blind for 15 minutes, remove the weight and let cool.
Ingredients – Filling
Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook
- 1 cup blanched almonds
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cup sour cherries, stones removed
Method – Filling
- Pulse almonds, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add butter and the whole egg and process until the mixture is smooth.
- Spread the mixture on the partially baked tart dough. Smooth the top and place the sour cherries.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 F (180C) and bake for another 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Cenk – I agree wholeheartedly with you on the combination of cherries and frangipane. I don't know if sour cherries are readily available here in Southern California, for I never seem to find them, even at the farmers' markets I go to (I know you can't get them in New Zealand). I have never had them dried or frozen before, though, but I will heed your advice on not bothering with the frozen variety, unless of course I am desperate. Martha's Baking Handbook is a real gem, and I hope you will do the meme I sent you – check out my blog for details. Take care.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this blog–I first found the cherry tomato tart recipe from the "Does My Blog Look Good In This?" contest, but this particular recipe made me nearly shriek with glee, as I miss frangipane horribly from my time in France and have never tried making it, and cherries are my favourite fruit. A bit apprehensive about trying pastry dough, but I've always wanted to give it a go.
Also I find it interesting that you're in Istanbul, as I'm hoping to go to Turkey one day and am (very, very slowly) learning Turkish. It's my sixth language and so far the hardest!

I made this last night to the rave reviews of my friends. I did alter the recipe a bit to get it to work… I added 3-4 tablespoons of ice water to the dough to make it stick together – I was using medium sized eggs, so maybe that's why I had to compensate with some extra liquid. I also used two medium eggs instead of one large egg to the custard to get it to be loose enough to spread in the crust.
Thanks for the great recipe and website!

I found this recipe while searching for something to do with some of the tart pie cherries I just bought. It's SOOOO good!! I'll definitely be making it again. The only thing I'll change is that I needed to cook it a bit longer, and I think next time I'll go longer still–after 24 minutes my filling still didn't get slightly brown around the edges like yours in the photo.

Have you ever tried using dried tart cherries in this recipe? I do not have any access to fresh cherries and am curious how replumped cherries would work.

Hi Cenk,
I love your blog and already bookmarked some recipes! This summer I had some great vişne in Cesme and I brought back some jam with whole cherries in it. Do you think I can use them instead of fresh ones?

Cartoon Modern
Ok, guys, I'll be honest. Mr. McGoo and most of those modern cartoons were my least favorite as a kid. But now Im older I can really appreciate that modern look. This book is a good one if its something youre interested in. It also has a lot of fascinating information regarding animation history and the moment the Disney Studio's basically closed and or shelved all of its interest in modern style animation. Those must have been some crazy days!! Well, all of those great modern artists in the animation field had to go somewhere and this is a nice and thorough book explaining where they went and what happened. Lastly its the same size as all the PIXAR books so it fits nicely on my shelf with that heavy bunch.
Go get this one! Modern animation is back and Im sure you want to be well ahead of the curve of its return.
