Low-energy office building for the Municipality of Aarhus
Aarhus Municipality
Aarhus, Denmark
1800 m²
The office building, located in a development zone of the Port of Aarhus, is intended to provide a new landmark for the city of Aarhus – a striking image of energy architecture.
The aim has been to create an example of progressive office building construction, with energy consumption at 'passive house' level and a good indoor climate.
The facade tells the story of a building in which energy design has been used as a holistic approach. A 200 m slatted wall of solar panels and a 170 m2 solar wall provide distinctive, sculptural elements in the facade.
The wall of solar panels, which is slightly tilted in relation to the rest of the facade, produces electricity for the building. The 170 m2 solar wall comprises a vertical element in the building's corner conclusion, extending over all storeys of the building. The solar wall collects energy which it uses to warm up the ventilation air to the offices in winter and to cool the offices in summer.
The office building has a large, south-facing facade and thus receives plenty of sunlight. To provide shade from the sun, the windows are recessed and are equipped with shade panels. These are clad with solar cells, and thus also produce electricity for the offices. Energy-friendly materials and elements with ultra-low thermal conductivity have been used throughout, such as vacuum-insulated windows. The building is twice as airtight in its design as required by the Danish building regulations.

There's no doubt that those who attended private school are over-represented in the upper echelons of society.
You could be forgiven for thinking that this is not a question of cause and effect but two symptoms of the same thing: rich and influential people send their children to private school, and the children of these rich and influential people rise to positions of power – the school is irrelevant.
However, a recent study has shown that this isn't the case. It claims that there's something about private school itself that makes people more successful. It begs the question whether we should all be saving to send our children to private school, to secure their financial future.
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission recently revealed the extent to which private school children go on to dominate public life. Around 7% of the UK population goes to private school, and yet 36% of the current cabinet and 22% of the shadow cabinet is the product of private school.
Meanwhile, 71% of senior judges went through the independent sector, as did 50% of those in the House of Lords and 43% of newspaper columnists.
They don't just rise to power, they also rule the commercial world. Some 44% of those in the Sunday Times Rich List also went to private school, while an ACAS study at the end of last year found that 40% of chief executives did.
A recent Social Market Foundation (SMF) study identified the impact of this dominance on earnings. It found that between the ages of 26 and 42, someone who attended an independent secondary school would earn an average of £193,700 more than someone who went through the state system.
Nida Broughton, chief economist on the project, says: "This isn't that surprising given that many have a privileged family background, and are already outperforming at the age of 11 because they went to prep school."
However, she then went on to adjust the figures to remove the influence of these factors and found that the wage differential wasn't purely down to the background of private school children. Even when they started from exactly the same place, there was still a wage premium of £57,653 from attending private school.
The SMF said a great deal of this was due to academic achievement: those who went to private school achieved better A-level results, and were more likely to go to university. Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the Independent Schools Council, attributes this to better teaching, claiming: "Independent schools are strong at teaching the traditional hard subjects that universities want, including science and maths as well as modern foreign languages."
Independent schools also emphasise the high-quality pastoral care and a rich extra-curricular life offered by their schools, which help prepare children for success.
Lucy Elphinstone is the head teacher of Francis Holland School, a private girls day school in Sloane Square, London. She says: "We foster an atmosphere of competition, building resilience, independence and character. We also give pupils the opportunity to develop leadership skills."
These schools also attribute much of their success to their independence. Neil Roskilly, chief executive of the Independent Schools Association, says it means there are schools to suit everyone.
Elphinstone says this enables the schools to establish a strong ethos, and set the curriculum and the co-curriculum to prepare the children effectively, rather than being bound by external criteria. Her focus, for example, includes preparing the girls for jobs in an increasingly digital economy.
The downside
However, there is a potential downside to independence. There are 2,400 independent schools in the UK, and they are far from equal.
Around half of independent schools are part of the Independent Schools Association, and are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate; the other half are inspected by Ofsted.
Ofsted inspected 248 schools in the independent sector between September 2013 and June 2014. It said that 32 were outstanding (13%), 146 were good (59%), 43 were adequate (17%), and 27 were inadequate (11%). Meanwhile, 70 were judged to not be providing a good education for pupils (28%). It clearly demonstrates how averages do not tell the whole story and how some independent schools are clearly failing their pupils.
In some cases, the failings are extreme. In October 2014, New Gables, an independent school in the Aire Valley, West Yorkshire, for children with behavioural difficulties, was closed after a highly critical Ofsted report. At the time, the £31,000-a-year school suffered from a 'systemic failure' of policies and a chronic shortage of resources, which meant that the school had no text books.
Of course by contrast, many schools receive glowing inspection reports. But even with the best education, some children will not be a financial success. The Higher Education Funding Council for England found in July last year that 23% of those who went to private school
and gained a degree were still unemployed six months after graduation, and that 40% of them failed to secure a graduate-level job or further education.
This is lower than the 28% of unemployed state school graduates and the 53% who aren't in graduate-level jobs but is bound to come as more of a disappointment to those parents who have spent so much on their children's education.
It also begs the question of whether a private school education will have prepared young adults for the junior, non-graduate roles they may find themselves in.
While all private schools have some pupils who receive bursaries, and many have programmes to encourage pupils to volunteer within their local community, it's not the same as going to school with a true cross-section of society. Being faced with all the diversity of life, and being treated as inferior by them, could be a culture shock for children fresh out of private school.
Once graduates find a career they love, even then there is no guarantee that it will be incredibly financially rewarding. The private schools agree that putting children into a position to make money is not the only job of a school, and that giving them the tools they need to lead happy and fulfilled lives is a more appropriate aim.
However, if happiness is our measure of success, it means that no amount of research on earnings differentials will prove that private schools are better than the state system. While those representing private schools emphasise the many advantages of the system that helps foster a positive environment, they don't have a monopoly on this.
The Office for National Statistics found in April last year that 82% of children were happy at school, which is a lot of satisfied state school children.
Affordable access
One in three private school pupils has some help with fees.
Schools offer a limited number of full scholarships for those who show excellence in academic achievement, sport or music. There are also a number of awards of up to 50% of fees.
Lenon adds that schools are increasingly looking at ways to help parents who cannot afford fees, through bursaries. He says: "They are increasingly moving away from the traditional merit-based scholarships. This year there are more than 5,000 pupils who pay no fees at all and over 41% of pupils on means-tested bursaries had half their fees remitted." Those who receive this help may, however, have to demonstrate high grades throughout their school career.
For those who struggle with fees but fail to qualify for this help, in most instances there remains room for negotiation. Schools are feeling the pinch as much as everyone else, and if there are spaces to fill and you have money to spend, you may be able to agree lower fees.
A study by wealth management firm Killik & Co in July 2014 found that a private education now costs £271,000, while boarding school costs £435,000. It said that overall fees have increased by more than 300% since 1990, while wages have risen by just 76%.
Patrick Connolly, a certified financial planner with Chase De Vere, emphasises that affording private school should start with understanding how much money you need and saving towards this goal as early as possible.
Connolly advises: "Ask yourself how much you can save, and for how long, then decide on the best investments to meet your target. There is no one investment strategy or product that does the job for everyone; it depends on each family's circumstances."
He suggests that those who are saving over a short period or want to avoid investment risk should stick with cash savings and consider using tax-free cash Isa wrappers.
For everybody else, he says: "The best approach is likely to be either a diversified global equity fund, such as Threadneedle Global Select or the Witan Investment Trust, or a combination of different assets including equities, fixed interest and property, which can be achieved through a range of underlying funds or a multi-asset fund such as Schroder Multi-Manager Diversity."

This book falls into the category where you just WISH they'd make a movie out of it even though it probably would be lousy because the scenes wouldn't match up exactly with what's in your head.
At any rate, Secret History is a lengthy thriller about a group of friends who attend a small college in Vermont and wind up murdering someone within their circle (I promise I'm not ruining anything, you find out who dies on the very first page). All of them are incredibly intelligent and highly interested in Classics. One night, they partake in a crazy Dionysian ritual and things just go downhill from there...Let's just say that people with big mouths are silenced in more ways than one.
Though there was an awful lot of "academic" talk spread throughout the novel (think classics and ancient Greek philosophy), Tartt still manages to create a taut and suspenseful read. Some readers might object to the rampant drug and alcohol use, but it actually helps to capture the paranoid and chaotic mood.

One Gwinnett County toddler loves Waffle House so much, he dedicated his third birthday party to the Norcross-based restaurant chain.
Lawson Cooper, the third of four children, has eaten at Waffle House with his family for most of his life and has already settled on his regular order: a waffle, a sausage patty and a hard-boiled egg, according to his mom, Natalie Cooper.
"He's been eating it since he's had teeth," Natalie said.
READ | How did these three roosters end up at the Gwinnett County Animal Shelter?
But just as much as the food, Lawson loves the servers' aprons, adorned with pins and buttons, Natalie said.
As Lawson's birthday approached, Natalie got an idea: What about a Waffle House-themed party?
Lawson jumped at the idea.
"Sure! I get pins and waffles," he told his mom.
In order to create the full picture, Natalie got an apron and visor embroidered to match the Waffle House waitstaff, and a friend who works at the Norcross headquarters sent over a name tag declaring Lawson the official birthday boy.
Originally, the plan was to have the party at home with breakfast food, but Natalie thought it would be fun for kids to play music on the jukebox and watch the cooks work the grill. With a cake and a few balloons, a small group of friends and family showed up at the Waffle House on Buford Drive on Aug. 11 and had a party.
"He definitely loved it," said Ashley Donahue, a family friend and photographer who took pictures of the event. "He's a very quiet little guy, but you could tell he was having a blast."
Since the party, Lawson has barely taken off his toddler-sized Waffle House uniform, Natalie said.
"I think he's going to dress as a Waffle House employee forever," Natalie said. "He's a weird little dude."

tor.com website, but I was looking for their writer's guidelines and failing to find them. I finally found some information on the SFWA website. As I'd suspected, they're not wide open to submissions from newbies, but you can get the scoop here.
Tor.com has become a great source of new sf and fantasy on a regular basis. I like how they make each story available in a variety of downloadable formats. I also like seeing stuff by well-known writers served up for free.
Also, they made December 2009 their Cthulhu month. :)

Emergency aid supplies worth $1m pa'anga have been donated after Cyclone Gita
Radio & TV Tonga, Nuku'alofa, 23/04/2018
Individual emergency aid supplies worth $ 1m pa'anga have been donated to Tonga from families and friends abroad since the government introduces the tax and duty exemption in the wake of Cyclone Gita.
The Head of Customs Division – Kelemete Vahe says, their latest data shows since February to last week more than 2500 pieces were sent to the country, labelled as assistance following the cyclone.
The assistance include drums of goods, cartons and boxes from the US, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii.
The amount of duty and tax exempted is estimated at around 300 thousand pa'anga.
Vahe says, there are few challenges they face due to the limited space at the wharf and at the same time some people fail to pick up their cargo upon arrival.
He says, some only came to pick up their cargo when their names are announced on the radio.
With the limited resources for inspection, Vahe urges the public not to misuse this opportunity to import items such as alcohol.
He also highlights the significance for the people not to abuse this opportunity by getting bulky items for commercial purposes.
The Government approved in February to exempt all duty and tax for all personal emergency aid supplies for six months after Cyclone Gita made landfall in Tongatapu.

It's hard to sympathise with comic book henchmen. Cities like Gotham and New York are full of bozos who would happily put on any crazy costume if it meant they got to wield a gun or punch a lycra-clad teenager in the face. And to make it even harder, these specific henchmen have signed up with Hitler, who is wearing a tie-dye Klan costume. Sympathy is in short supply.
And then they make a completely stupid move, like not questioning a perfectly flat, brand-new blue road in the jungle. Of course it's Reed who, presumably, was quite happy to lie face-down in the jungle whilst a dozen henchmen trample across his back.

All Black.
The only reason for the first photo is pretty much because of I love the little peeptoe of these Steve Madden heels. They look adorable close-up but even better from afar. They kind of remind me of Prada. Today I realised I am always whining about the weather on my blog but seriously! I can hardly wear all my suede shoes anymore… I unknowingly killed a little bit of my Dolce Vita boots on the inside because they got into some water. Makes me so sad….. So true that our style is kind of dependent on the weather though.
I've been dressed in black all week. How uninspiring, even though I love wearing black but not when it becomes routine with school. Today I wore these lace shorts I came across randomly while shopping at Santa Monica. I probably own about 5 pairs of laced or crochet shorts now…. its become quite an obsession. Shorts in general, really. Also, to date my favourite and most worn to death cardigan (still convincing myself to order another piece before its sold out) that I wear both front and back ways. I love the practicality of most of my clothes to be honest, especially those in black. Probably why I am convinved each time I need to buy something, I tend to deem it as practical. Today's inspiration: Abit of Audrey Hepburn with regards to the shoes and Chanel. And trying to get a contrast out of this outfit with the shorts and minimal jewellery. Or to be true to myself, I will also admit that one of my rings broke.. Anyhow, have a great weekend!

Some suggestions
1). If possible, get on the phone with someone from the vendor (Dell) to go over the software. They'll usually have the best/latest information in terms of using the system optimally; especially in diverse environments. Case in point, after a few calls to Symantec (whom I generally loathe, I should add), we have a newly deployed Altiris system humming along rather nicely. If you're an enterprise level customer, and can get someone on-site as a 'goodwill gesture', even better.
2). Keep the images updated on a periodic basis. Nothing like rolling out a year old image and spending more time updating it than you did imaging the PC. This must include anti-malware software updates. Putting a newly imaged machine onto the network (actually, this ties into the next point), only to have it infected within an hour doesn't do well for the IT team's rep (unfortunately, this did happen to me years ago...better to learn from someone else's mistake than make it yourself).
3). If you can setup an isolated network segment for the imaged PCs, all the better. Lock it down to the point where you can get to the updates & servers you need, but nothing else, if possible.
4). Make sure you incorporate the imaging solution into your DR scenarios/plans. If your employer needs to setup shop at an alternative location for any reason, that imaging solution may take on a significant role in getting users up and running quickly.
5). If feasible, creating images for specific departments can be a time saver.
6). Finally, I'd encourage you to make sure you have significant storage capacity; especially if your firm keeps "up-to-date" with OS releases. Before you know it, you could need 3 different baseline images for a single device (XP/Vista/Win7 image for Lenovo T400, for example).
Those are the product-independent suggestions I have off the top of my head.
Hope it helps, and best of luck!
Good suggestions
I have in the past used sysprep
dells ximage looks like something similar.
Thanks for those suggestions. Those look like good practices to follow.
The sysprep tool also provides general insight into best practice. I'm getting closer to what I was looking for.
I wonder if anyone writes a book or manual for this. Maybe like an "Imaging for Dummies" book or anything that has a thorough analysis.

Can you believe how excited I was when I found a pile of poo in the garden? So excited I had to take a picture and send it to my friend. She got the excitement immediately. As an animal carer for a hedgehog rescue, having your own hog in the garden is the ultimate reward in life. For two years I have spent time with these gorgeous creatures. Caring for the very young and those who are in their final days either from old age, illness or injury.
It takes me back to my childhood when I hand reared a nest of hoglets that were on the side of the road close to the remains of their mother. Little did I realise that 35 years later I would be caring for this species again. Times have changed and Hedgehog Rescue Centres are now the best place for any injured or orphaned hogs.
Everyone knows what a hedgehog looks like but there is lots of confusion as to how to care for one when you find it in your garden. They are complicated little beasts and specialist care is the best chance for survival that you can give any that are found wandering. They are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, Schedule 6 and their numbers are declining dramatically - 30% in urban areas and up to 50% in rural areas since the turn of the century
The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) is native to the UK and can be found across the countryside living in urban as well as rural locations. They favour parks and gardens for the profusion of slugs, beetles and worms that they can forage for during dusk with hideaways to get warm and cosy during daylight hours.
They live for a maximum of about 7 years, becoming more russet in colour as they age. They have about 7000 spines which are full of nerve endings. When the hog feels threatened they will curl into a tight ball. A response that develops as they mature. Even a gentle brush of the spines will result in a ripple of muscle tension as the nerve endings in each prickle are stimulated.
Normal Hedgehog Behaviour
It is much easier to say what is normal! If your hedgehog is doing this then they are probably fine.
If you find a nest with a sleeping hog, leave it alone unless they are in immediate danger from man-made or environmental changes such as impatient builders or flood water.
They are not choosy where they make their nest. If you find them in a garage or shed and they can get in and out then leave them alone.
Hedgehogs are nocturnal and will come out as the sun goes down. You will often hear them snuffling around after dark. Young hungry hogs may emerge early or stay out late in the morning and appear to be on a distinct mission to find food like any hungry teenager. Unless they are staggering or sleeping in the open then they are probably okay.
A hedgehog out is daylight is not a good sign - however a female may 'nip' out during daylight hours to escape her demanding young or collect nesting materials. If the hog is on a mission watch from a distance and see what she does. If you find a nest of hoglets, leave them well alone and observe from a distance. Mum may return, but if they are still alone after an extended period or you know that mum has been killed or injured then seek advice.
Whilst hedgehogs hibernate, this is not a fixed period over winter and if the weather warms up some may come out to feed. If you feed your resident hogs then continue to put fresh food and water out over the winter months. If a large hedgehog is out in the winter months and is behaving normally then leave it alone, it will hibernate when it is good and ready. Hedgehogs under 650g (small melon size) may need help to get through the winter so again seek advice.
Some hedgehogs are perfectly healthy but may have small ticks. If they are distressed or unwell then seek advice but a tick is a normal visitor for a hedgehog.
How to Care for a Wild Hedgehog
Hedgehogs are wild animals and unless they are unwell or injured should be left to fend for themselves.
Support feeding especially in very hot or very cold weather can help them immensely. The wild hedgehog diet consists of worms, bugs, slugs, birds eggs and similar meaty treats. They are best fed dry and wet cat food without any fish in the ingredients if you wish to support them. There is also hedgehog food available online and from pet shops which is really good for them if a little more expensive than cat or dog food.
Feeding should be accompanied by fresh water each day. To prevent local cats helping themselves putting the food inside a box with a small hog sized opening should allow them to feed without having to share with the local feline squad.
Providing a quiet corner in your garden with a hedgehog house will give them a safe space to nest. Leaving hay or shredded newspaper in an upturned container will allow them to build the nest to suit their requirements. Some are very industrious and will drag all sorts into their nests whilst others will be content with very little.
Keeping dogs away from them is essential. The dog will come off as badly as the hog if they have an encounter - bite wounds in the hog and prickles in the dog. Never a good combination. Removing the hog from your garden is not going to help. If the hog is removed others in the area will move in. It is better to let the dog out under supervision in the dark if you suspect you have a little visitor.
Before strimming or lighting a bonfire always check for hedgehogs under leaves and logs. They will be hidden away and some of the worst injuries that I have seen are caused by accidental strimmer encounters.
Hedgehog First Aid
If you find a hedgehog that is very small and out in the day or looks injured then carefully pick it up using gardening gloves or a towel. An adult hedgehog is about the size of a small melon. Any hogs that are the size of a grapefruit or smaller and are out in the day or during the winter months really need to be seen by a professional.
If you find or disturb a nest with hoglets leave it alone incase mum returns and seek advice before moving them.
Pop the hedgehog into a high sided box (they are good climbers) or a cat basket with a towel to make a small nest and provide water. Make sure they are not on their back as they may struggle to uncurl and turn over.
A small hot water bottle wrapped in a towel is also a good idea to keep the temperature up even if it is warm weather. Just make sure there is space for the hedgehog to get off the heat if it wants to. Don't leave a cold bottle in with the hedgehog as this will cause more harm by cooling it too much.
Once you have it contained then contact your nearest hedgehog rescue. They will give you advice and usually ask you to bring it in or arrange collection so it can be assessed.
Most of all, enjoy having YOUR hedgehog in your garden. It is a privilege to have these endangered creatures choosing to make your garden their home and at the same time help to keep your slug population under control.

I came across this passage in my reading this week, written by priest, theologian, writer, and activist Matthew Fox:
"I propose that we can fall in love several times a day for the rest of our lives…We could fall in love with a star, of which there are 200 billion in our galaxy alone. Or a species of wildflower... Or a species of bird, of tree, of plant. Or with another human being- preferably one different from ourselves…We could fall in love with music, poetry, painting, dance. If we fell in love with one of Mozart's works each week, we would have seven years of joy. How could we ever be bored?"
These words keep singing in my head, resonant with such incredible truth. In a single succinct paragraph, this man slices right to the heart of living a full, rich, meaningful, and wondrous life. Curiosity manifested as love, as wonder, as awe. To look out upon the unknown and instead of fear, we fall in love. How singularly beautiful is that?
I have felt bombarded lately, overwhelmed by the suffering inflicted on the powerless in the name of fear and of cowardice. Maybe you have too. There are many days lately in which it feels like that fear and cowardice is winning, that it's unstoppable, that there are too many fires to run between as we try to keep them from becoming infernos that swallow us whole.
All that running leaves me feeling impotent and exhausted and it can be tempting in those moments to return to my position of privilege and choose to tune it all out for awhile. I can, after all- that's the very nature of privilege, isn't it? Being in a position where recognition of oppression is a choice, something I can choose to opt out of when I grow weary of it?
But I don't want to opt out. Not only because it is wrong and deeply inhumane, but also out of a sense of self-preservation. We have only to look in our history books to know what those who would cage children, deny humanity on the basis of race or nationality or religion or sexuality or gender, will never stop. The hunger for wealth and power built on suffering is never satiated. We who enjoy privilege now very likely are operating on borrowed time unless we act on behalf of those without it.
So I have to find the energy and will to not turn away in my overwhelm and impotence.
I have turned to anger and outrage for that energy, and they certainly work to a certain extent. But anger, even of the righteous sort, is a well that runs dry eventually. I need something to fuel me indefinitely, something that can outlast the monster who is feeding on the powerless.
I need to fall in love.
I have fallen in love with every mother who flees violence, willing to risk even the devastating loss of her children if it means keeping them alive another day. I have fallen in love with every father who sets his own terror aside to reassure his screaming child that they will be okay as border officials tear them apart. I have fallen in love with every heart whose love for someone of the same gender has meant their alienation and denial of rights. I have fallen in love with every parent who has to sit their dark-skinned child down and attempt to explain to them why they can't walk with their hoodie up at night or how to put their hands on the wheel during a routine traffic stop. I have fallen in love with every person who mortgaged their future to pay for their healthcare. I have fallen in love with every pair of wrinkled hands who opens that social security envelope each month to stave off homelessness or starvation. I have fallen in love with those whose illnesses are invisible, whose pain is emotional. I have fallen in love with the sacred places in the desert and the wildflowers and the trees that have stood in old growth groves for a thousand years and now face the saws of the clear cutting crews or the press of mining equipment.
I have fallen in love. I fall in love again and again each day. Over and over and over. There is no end to this love. It is a well that will never run dry. It fills me up and fills me up and fills me up.
And so it is for my beloveds that I fight.
For each of my beloveds that I call elected officials. For each of my beloveds that I get out to vote. For my beloveds that I give my income to organizations equipped to affect real and tangible change. For my beloveds that I show up tirelessly. We never turn away from those we love, we never grow weary of fighting for our loved ones. To fall in love each day is to live in wonder and welcome and commitment and unstoppable power.
I am angry. I am livid with rage. Make no mistake about that.
But my beloveds need me to last. My beloveds need me to be untiring in my efforts. And my rage is simply insufficient fuel for the long haul. Love is the only thing sustainable, the only thing that can carry us forward day after day after day as we fight for the just world that we are capable of creating.
So let's all fall in love today. And let's fall in love again tomorrow. And let's keep falling in love and basking in the joy and wonder and awe of that love so that we can do our work, work that we are all called to do, work that must not stop until all are safe and all are welcome.
Keep falling in love so that we can draw from a bottomless well.
If you need a place to begin fighting for your beloveds, here are a few places that I have found to be helpful:
Please add any additional organizations that I should include in the comments…I'm sure I've missed some great ones.
In the spirit of love (of all sorts, even romantic love), I wanted to share this shoot I did before leaving Arizona. Airstream life in the desert…
Thanks for opening your sweet home on wheels, Katie & Kyle!

January 4, 2017 - Our first day on the water was pretty dramatic. It was minus 13, so needless to say it was freaking cold. This was also our introduction to Arctic diving, which always takes a day to get used to. Sadly though, the orcas were a no show. It turns out the herring is late this year, which means the orcas are late. There was a pod in the area two days before, but where that pod is now, is everyone's guess. We did have some great moments with sperm whales. Now that was exciting for me. I've never seen a sperm whale. We didn't try to get in the water, because by the time we found them, we were all frozen. So we enjoyed watching them come up for a few breathes before they would drop back down into the depths to feed.
We had one curious sperm whale that turned towards us, swam up to the boat and right underneath us. It was a massive male, what a privilege to see it up that close. I would of videoed it, but my cameras batteries all were frozen and useless. Need to figure that out. I am also kicking myself for not dunking my camera,Vera under to snap a photo. It probably would of come out like crap, but it was so close, you never know?
I was able to snap a few topside pics with Tony's camera. He was boat sick. So he lent me his camera to shoot. It was great, poor Tony had to throw up and didn't quite make it into the sea, so he ended up, chucking on the side of our inflatable. It instantly froze, so we had all these different colors spread out on the side of our boat. It looked like a Jackson Pollock painting. It was sooo pretty! lol
Sperm Whales
We finished the day with about 3-4 different sperm whales. Which was very cool. But sadly we were not there for sperm whales, we were there for orca bait balls. Don't get me wrong, if we had gotten in the water with the sperm whales it would of been insanely amazing and what a privilege seeing them out there. But whale watching from a boat is not what we are here to do… Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
We capped off the evening with more Northern Lights. The show was just amazing.

Top Five Reasons To Have Insurance
The older we get, the more responsibilities we acquire. The more responsibilities we take on, the more risks and uncertainties life throws our way. Almost every aspect of our lives involves some risk, whether it be creating a family, starting a business, building a home, or driving a car. Though it may be scary to think about the curveballs that life throws at us, there is comfort in knowing there is a financial product that can reduce some of the risks we bear.
Simply put, insurance is the purchase of protection for events we prefer not to cover out of our own pockets. We have compiled the top five reasons to purchase insurance.
1. Insurance provides peace of mind for its users.
Many users of insurance purchase insurance for peace of mind when things go wrong. None of us can predict when natural disasters will strike, when a fire will occur, or when we will pass away. Purchasing insurance can provide the peace of mind of knowing that some financial compensation will follow if one of these unfortunate circumstances occurs.
- Business insurance, for example, protects business owners from losses caused by the normal course of business. Businesses can take on certain ventures because they have the peace of mind that they can shift some of the risk they will assume through purchasing insurance coverage.
- As it relates to loss of life, insurance can act as financial protection to replace income in the case of the death of a breadwinner. Death is a part of life, so life insurance protects your loved ones who are left behind to sustain the same quality of life that they had before.
- Another common safeguard for your loved ones is health insurance. Health insurance eases the burden of high expenses for unexpected medical emergencies. For example, if you or a loved one requires surgery, and you have medical insurance, your chances of receiving better health care are much greater. Knowing this fact will allow for many persons to live more comfortably without the worry of exorbitant medical bills.
2. Insurance reduces the loss in inevitable circumstances.
In The Bahamas, natural disasters are very common as we commonly experience hurricanes. In other parts of the world, natural disasters include earthquakes, tornadoes, and flooding. These natural disasters wreak havoc and cause property damage to homes, businesses, and automobiles. Having insurance can act as a safety net for these disasters as they would compensate the policyholders for some of the damages.
Auto insurance would be very familiar because it is mandatory to have an auto insurance policy. Accidents happen almost every day in The Bahamas and it is best to protect yourself is it happens to you. Comprehensive insurance has saved many persons thousands of dollars in accident both caused by themselves and by others. See our article on the difference between comprehensive versus third party here.
3. Insurance is sometimes mandatory to take on credit
For most financial institutions, it is mandatory to have life insurance to cover the principal amount of a mortgage. This provides the lending agency with some comfort that they would be able to recoup their funds in the event of death. In some business loans, business owners must similarly have coverage for their loans.
4. Insurance products can act as saving vehicles
Life insurance products can act as a savings vehicle for individuals. Many life insurance policies carry cash value, which can provide a cash settlement if you decide to end the policy. While this sum is often lower than the life insurance value, it can provide emergency funds for individuals as well as cash for retirement funding. Those small amounts every month can easily add up to a sizable amount of cash value at retirement.
5. Inheritance and final expenses
Life Insurance is a good way to leave a decent inheritance for your family and loved ones. In many cases, it can provide life-changing wealth for future generations. It is also common practice that life insurance proceeds would be used to cover final expenses that an individual may leave behind. This lowers the chances of your loved ones inheriting your debt. These include funeral expenses, outstanding loans and obligations, and estate taxes to name a few.
Life throws curveballs at us all the time and it is not wise to go through life thinking that we can handle all of them. While we cannot fully protect ourselves from everything that will occur, there are many cases where insurance can provide the peace of mind and protection that can reduce some of the challenges we face. Sleep better at night with peace of mind as you continue to GET MONEY SMART.

In our previous blog we gave you some simple diet tips to do away with flab. However, many a time, keeping a watch on your diet alone may not help. When life gets hectic many of us become inactive and put on weight which is hard to shed.
To make weight loss a reality, you need to put in some distinct lifestyle changes too! In this blog we will let you know how to club in minor routine changes in your daily life to get a slimmer you in the time to come. Read on for some handy tips:
Start early! – Do your cardio early in the morning before consuming food. It would help reduce those calories more than in any other time of the day. Cardiovascular exercises or cardio include – speed walking, running, biking, and other activities that increase your heart rate.
Stay busy! – Staying busy is another requisite to lose weight. If you keep yourself busy, it would be easy for you to lose weight and not think about your food cravings.
Beat it! – No we are not talking about Micheal Jackson's famous number here. We are talking about food cravings. You can beat them if you try to. Always keep in mind that your cravings generally last only for 20 minutes or so. If you can resist them during this time period, you have overpowered your craving!
Grab a friend! – It is said that people who work out together loose more weight than who work out alone! This is an easy tip to help you excise more so that you look slimmer.
Let your dinnerware help you shed! – Generally, people tend to take cues from what they get to see. If you have a big plate and less food in it. It can make you think, I can have some more. Instead opt for smaller plates which would make your plate appear full. Relish your desserts with small spoons. It would not only make you eat less but would also help you enjoy the treat for a longer time.
Be stress free! – Sleep enough – a tiring mind always has more food cravings than a well-rested one.
Do remember that optimum benefits from your diet plan can be achieved only when one clubs it with some minor lifestyle adjustments. Losing weight is achievable. If you pay a little attention and do some minor changes in your routine, you are sure to get the results that you always craved for! Give your body some time to adjust to these changes. With every inch that you lose, your body would just start loving you for the enormous health benefits that come with the weigh-loss!
Stay Fit! Stay Happy!

CCCC 2010 is just around the corner, and a great opportunity for CWPA and Cs members to reconnect with one another. I hope that reader(s) are excited about the CWPA Network Breakfast (7am Thursday, 3/18 at the Seelbach Hotel - more on this in a moment)! Also be sure to attend CWPA's featured session (I.31, 12:30-1:45 on Friday, 3/19), "Disturbing and Developing the Council of Writing Program Administrators: What Might We Become?", which features engaging and dynamic presentations by Shirley Rose and Jonikka Charlton (speaking about their research on WPAs); Duane Roen and Joe Janangelo (on mentoring and WPAs); Jeff Klausman (on WPA work at 2-year colleges); and Sheldon Walcher (on new directions in program administration). We'll also have a booth in the exhibit hall with goodies and lots of great conversation -- please stop by and say hello!
As those who have responded to the CWPA Network Breakfast survey know, this year's WPA breakfast is going to be a bit different. Because attendees (of the breakfast, and of last summer's CWPA conference) have so many interests, we've designated table topics for this year's breakfast. Each table will have at least one WPAmbassador, a facilitator who will keep conversation zipping along among those at the tables. Watch this space! We'll post table topics and moderators in the next couple of days, and will also distribute these at the breakfast, where the WPAmbassadors will be there to seat diners, as well. We hope that everyone enjoys this new approach to the Breakfast. We look forward to seeing everyone in Louisville, and to hearing about your CCCC experience!

Rio resident spots SEVERED LEG floating in the water just a few miles from where Olympics sailing events are taking place
The body part was found near spot Brit gold medal hopeful Scott Giles sailed into the lead
SAILORS taking part in the Rio Olympics may have been confronted by the gruesome sight of a severed leg floating on the waves if it wasn't for eagle eyed locals.
The body part was seen in the water near the course in Guanabara Bay on Sunday.
Residents called police after they saw the limb which appeared to belong to a man bobbing close to the shoreline, which had been severed at the hip.
The discovery near Ilha do Governador, came after Britain's Scott Giles moved into an unassailable lead position in the Finn class.
He had been sailing a few miles away from where the body part was found.
It was marked by a tattoo of the word Kauan on the calf.
However a source said it was not likely the owner of the limb was likely to be identified.
The source told Dailymail.com: "The leg was taken away to be examined.
"Samples will be taken in case anyone comes forward to report anyone missing.
"But they will not be compared with lists of people already reported as missing.
"It is very common to find body parts in the Guanabara Bay.
"It was probably someone murdered by the drugs gangs who was dumped in one of the rivers that flow into the bay."

Guanabara Bay was highlighted for the amount of rubbish floating in its waters ahead of the start of the Rio Games.
Sailors said they had found plastic bags and sofas while trying to train.
There were also photos of the Bay covered in piles of floating debris, and researchers have discovered raw sewage and antibiotic- resistant bacteria in the waters where long distance swimmers are set to compete, alongside triathletes.
In July children playing near the Mare favela were confronted by a woman's backside in a plastic bag which was washed up on the shore.

Bed Bugs Get Around
Alive infestation of bed bugs was discovered recently in an upholstered chair in the sitting area at the Kansas City International Airport.
If these blood-suckers wanted to hitch a ride somewhere, they were in the right spot! The entire area had to be closed off and treated before it could be reopened. Surveys nationwide showed bed bug activity slowed down in most areas during the cooler months, as it always does. Bed bug activity will pick up when the weather warms and the bugs start becoming more active and reproducing faster.

Since last night was the premiere for Madmen Season 4, I thought it would be fitting to write up a bit about the Ad Men and their dress style for the show. I went onto the Madmen site and saw that most of their wardrobe consists of Banana Republic gear! There's even a contest to post up a photo of yourself in the latest Madmen style dress up and you could potentially win a walk-on role on the show. (Contest can be found at http://madmencastingcall.amctv.com)
Coming from an Ad Men background myself, I have to say Season 4's tie style is pretty amazing so far. So for season 4 of Madmen, the tie styles seem to be striped, plaid, and pinstripe varieties. Color choice and forecast seems to be blue and purple. Being the tie connoisseur that I am–I am going to have to go with the striped skinny style of ties that Don Draper seems to choose wisely every episode. Definitely for the tall Ad Men! Be sure to catch Madmen Season 4 every Sunday 10/9c on AMC. We don't get paid to advertise… I'm just a fan of the show!!!

Charlie Barnet
CherokeeCherokee was the first big hit for Charlie Barnet & his Orchestra, though when Billy May arrived for the 1939 recording session & handed out the parts nobody seemed that impressed with it! This is a good Tenor feature, & a straight forward chart to play. The arrangement is full of interest. Glissing Trombones, Trumpets with wah-wah plungers, & some rich voicings in the Saxes & ensemble sections. This chart is the one that set the standard for all subsequent arrangements of this Ray Noble chart. There are no sax doubles. Learn More£29.95
SkylinerArguably the most famous number of the Charlie Barnet Orchestra, Skyliner is a really punchy, up-tempo swinger featuring a Piano intro, unison brass carrying the melodic line, with clarinet-led Saxes over the top & later on a cracking Trombone soli. Both tenor sax parts are scored with the solo chords & the cameo trumpet solo can be taken by lead or second. Much requested, we're pleased to make it available. Learn More£29.95

UK betting hands over £2.3bn to UK GDP per year!
Britain's betting industry generates £2.3bn towards UK GDP annually, making it a key driver for the country's economy according to a new report by Deloitte. The study, called 'The Full Picture: Measuring the Contribution of the British Betting Industry', was commissioned by the Association of British Bookmakers and aims to provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the economic contribution of betting. Commenting on the report Simon Oaten, Betting and Gaming lead at Deloitte said: "The betting industry continues to make a significant contribution to the UK economy. Changing technology, such as mobile, smartphone and contactless payments, and regulation, including point of consumption and machines, will have a direct impact on the future contribution of the sector. Each will have the potential to drive significant change in the next 24 months." Neil Goulden, Chairman of the Association of British Bookmakers, added: "Betting shops serve over eight million customers a year, and while we see major retailers closing down and shedding jobs almost weekly, betting shops continue to invest in the UK's high streets. We are a highly regulated and socially responsible sector, which can provide economic growth, jobs and retail footfall given a fair and balanced tax and regulatory framework. "However, the Licensed Betting Office sector is under huge financial pressure, driven by 9% retail inflation, and growing tax burden. We are a 'soft target' for HM Treasury – the new Machine Games Duty (MGD), for example, introduced in February at 20pc, will cost the sector £60m (£7,000 per shop). "2,700 LBOs make less than £300 per week (£15,000 p.a.). These shops employ 11,000 people and their profits fell by fell by 15pc in 2011. MGD risks making these shops unprofitable overnight." Other findings in the report include:
The British Betting Industry directly supported 38,800 jobs in 2011, and in doing so, generating £2.3billion towards GDP;
The sector is smaller than it was in 2008, when last reviewed, but the retail component contributes an equivalent level of taxation to the exchequer as it did then;
The effects of the recession and a move to offshore betting may have been significantly worse for Licensed Betting Offices (LBOs) had electronic gaming machines not increased in popularity in recent years;
The industry has a far reaching impact on the rest of the UK economy, with a total economic footprint of £5bn in terms of Gross Value Added (GVA);
The industry as a whole faces a number of challenges from macroeconomic and regulatory factors, such as the proposed 'point of consumption' tax;
There is little doubt that the industry will continue to contribute economically and socially.

Over the past two years, I have made some lifestyle changes that have slowly began to change the way I think about myself as a "plus size" girl in a world where the "thin ideal" idealology is still prominent.
- Accepting your bodyThe most important change that I made for myself was accepeting my body and it's shape.
When you accept how you are made, only then can you decide how to not change your body, but nourish it and make it healthier in your own unique way that suits YOU. This may be by lowering your carb intake, working out more, or wearing an outfit that flatters YOUR shape.
Accepting your body can be hard. We all want to change certain things on our bodies and look the best (in our opinions) we can, but when we understand our bodies, then we start to truly appreciate ourselves.
I used to hate my thick thighs, but I came to accept that thay will never be slender. Instead, I came to accept that they are wonderfully shapely, curvy and look bomb in skinny jeans and tights. Since accepeting myself, I am more confident to wear what I want, talk to who I want, and celebrate my curves.
- Working out
Something that most gym goers swear by is how they feel after a workout. Exercising releases the happy chemical endorphins, which flood your body after a work out and you instantly feel more clear-minded, less stressed and proud of your abilities. Of course, you also get the added physical health benefits and increased stamina and fitness, which will boost your positivity too! It is a no brainer.
- Following women/men who are like you
Following some body positive people on the internet is great support. You will see just how real these people are, and how they experience the same issues as you do. They can be inspirational to you, whether it be through their body journey, their gym regimes, healthy eating diaries, or just their personalities.
I follow "plus size" models who have the same body types as me to help myself learn about what I could wear that flatters me. For example, George from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust, Denise Bidot, Ashley Graham and many more. Watching these women slay the curve world really boosts my mood.
- Eating cleaner
I'm not saying you need to turn vegan, cut out bread, chocolate and sweets. But I have truly seen a drastic improvement with my moods from quitting the microwave meals and cooking more. Through doing this, I have learnt to cook so much better, my fitness has improved, and I feel like insides are so much more better for it. I was a sucker for those "diet foods" that had to say "low fat" on it. But you don't need these, and most of the time they are packed full of chemicals. Eating clean and eating healthy fats is the way to go to a better mood and better body. You don't even need to cut down portions, just make sure it's clean and you can name all the ingredients!
- Doing something for the environment
Whether that be recycling more, walking more, beach cleans or cutting out plastic, I feel that when I do something good for the environment, I feel so much more better about myself, and in turn I get to see my progress. When I do a beach clean and pick up rubbish, netting and plastics from the shore and see what I have collected, I feel awesome! I have just helped sealife by getting rid of something that would get swept in the sea and potentially kill them. And if you are an animal and beach lover like me, this is something that makes my day!
I hope these tips help anyone who needs a positivity boost. We all have specific things that make us happy, but accepting our bodies and the way we are is my first step. Since accpeting myself, I can truly say that I think my body is killer, and I would have never said that years ago!

Bonuses and Special Features

The best part of Whospunit is the crime solving feature. Triggered randomly, the Clue spins feature is a 10-minute round where you are given the chance to solve the case.

Body Positivity - Kudos
At Kudos, we design, believe and live by the word positivity. A big piece of positivity we are going to cover today is, Body Positivity.
The Body Positive Movement is a movement that encourages people to adopt more forgiving and affirming attitudes towards their bodies, with the goal of improving overall health and well-being. - Wikipedia -
Just a few short years ago, the term body positivity wasn't part of the lexicon. Body Positivity has become a movement built upon the notion every individual is worthy of love. When self love is expressed, it changes us from the inside out. Body Positivity separates our physical body from our self worth - finally. These two have been cohabitating for far too long. Our self worth and our physical form are two very separate entities - and with the movement, people are learning no matter what is happening on the inside, outside, or to our bodies, we are still important, we matter.
We have moved into a world where it's okay to value our unique identities. It seems we have become liberated from the outside pressures and ideologies and in turn we are accepting our bodies and that is a really powerful and righteous act.
With the acceptance of ourselves we begin to learn our relationship with ourselves is a vital one. When we learn to nurture the relationship with ourselves, we open up to the idea that we are beautifully messy and lovable human beings. We like and even love who we are and what we stand for...and there is no size or shape attached to it.
"A radical paradigm shift, but so simple, elegant, and intuitive. Love yourself and your body!"
— Brad Buchman, MD, college health physician
The movement is a breath of fresh air - and crucial. To bear witness to tween and teen girls love themselves and see them embrace who they are at such a young age is remarkable.
Growing up, the glossy Teen magazines were our north star and window into what beautiful should look like. The makeup, hair, long legs, perfect skin, amazing clothes was enough to make anyone bend toward "not enough." Little did we know the pictures were all photoshopped. The images we all stared into were impossibilities. Nothing about the images were real - and yet as young girls and women - we aspired to those body standards.
We have learned from history's mistakes and now we have the tools available to us to begin leading body positivity conversations with our young women. To inspire them to appreciate their minds, bodies and contributions and not necessarily in that order. Part of loving ourselves is reminding each other about the importance of living with body positivity.
Brands loved us - it was the exact response they aim for and they have just changed the narrative. Today, leading brands, popular media outlets and many marketing campaigns have adapted to the body positivity movement. Sports Illustrated featured plus-sized model Ashley Graham on the cover for their annual Swimsuit edition in 2016. Miss Teen USA ditched their swimsuit competition "as part of a commitment to 'evolve in ways that celebrate women's strength, confidence and beauty for years to come.'" All the while, Dove, Aerie, and Victoria's Secret have attempted to incorporate what appears to be body positivity into their advertising efforts.
Let's strive to love the person we are and be grateful for our first and most important home - our body. We only get one - why not spend our lives loving the gifts we have been given.

Losing weight may be a critical component of your overall health, but knowing what needs to be done as part of your weight loss plan can be hard. There are a lot of diets that can actually cause you astray or even harm you. Here are some tips that could help you create a plan for successful and safe weight loss.

Broccoli contains so many antioxidants making it one of the healthiest vegetables around because it's very high in antioxidants.You can add some broccoli to a salad, steam it, or eat it raw. Your body is definitely thank you.
Eat with a companion instead of alone to reduce the amount you eat less. Eating alone gives you nothing to focus on cleaning our plates.
Never eat right before you go to bed. If you normally go to sleep around 10, don't eat any later than 8pm. If you feel hungry, make it vegetables with water. You may find this two-hour rule difficult sometimes; however, but try to do so as often as possible.Your body will store the calories when you go to sleep.

This may help you remain motivated and help you see your progress once you succeed with your weight loss goals while serving as a physical reminder of just how far you have come. You can show this picture around to others who may be inspired to lose weight by showing them the photos.
You need to eat fat in order to burn fat. However, these fatty acids, nourish the cardiovascular system while cholesterol, both of which can aid weight loss.
Try to surround yourself in surroundings that are different shades of blue. Blue is a color that has been shown to suppress one's appetite. Try using blue plates at your dinner table and see if this has an effect. However, refrain from using anything that is red, yellow, or red items around, as they encourage your appetite. Most people are not realize how strongly visual cues can affect eating. Try this as an interesting experiment when you are setting your dinner table or getting dressed to go out for dinner.
