5 minutes
Into the Raven's Nest
Curranne Labercane
I can still hear my heart beating in my ears and the rush of blood to my scalp. He pulled his chair back and came around in front of his desk.
"What do you think your punishment should be for this bad behaviour, Miss Bennett?" He's so close to me I can smell his musky aftershave.
"Um… I don't know?" I'm fifteen. I have never been sent out of the classroom, let alone in a principle's office.
He leans down close to my face. The heart beat in my ears. Rush of blood. It feels like every hair on my body is standing straight up.
I'd heard rumours about him. This kind of thing.

A Particle Photon microcontroller and an Adafruit Neopixel ring combine to make a pin that's fit for NASA fans. It displays an orbiting white blip when idle and then turns blue, white, red and multicolor when the ISS flies by. The code takes advantage of the Photon's Wi-Fi capability and uses IFTTT (If This Then That), a free site that makes connecting IoT devices as easy as a few clicks. This project was inspired by my first NASA Space Apps Challenge project created with friend Brooks Zurn Rampersad--the ISS Orbit Skirt. That's enough history...on to the parts!

Evening Horo-Scrutineers. "Had to get the train, from Potzdamer Platz. You never knew that, that I could do that." Well, I didn't have to get the tram to Messeplatz, walked it in the sun, but thanks for the backdrop in the head music, David (click). Also, am in Basel, not Berlin, as zi Basel World 2013 festival nearly opens today, fittingly in Basel. It's tomorrow officially, but you know watch fiends just can't get enough of it. Talking of which, can't get enough of my new Basel digs. Its a chic, pared down glamour/cosy bunker near the river. Loving the concrete walls. Materials might just be the thing this week.
I'd love to see some marble watches for men and some precious stone. Why arent Bulgari doing marble kettles? I demand to know. Saw some slate-face action at Harry Winston. Liked the slate. Its called the Monochrome Midnight. This is almost right on the money. Almost.
Slate of the art from Harry.
Not favourite watch of the day, but like the idea of concentrating on ornamentation, not complications for the sake of it. Tourbillon free. Although Bulgari did manage to set one suitably. More of that later perhaps. Till then, get in Dave's melancholic 'Where Are We Now?', I just can't stop.

Pastor Bob O'Bannon
In my blog a few weeks ago about being Presbyterian, I mentioned that a distinguishing mark of our tradition is that we adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) (the Heidelberg Catechism is good too). As a follow-up to that idea, I thought it might be helpful to take this a step further and consider some good reasons why a church should be "confessional" — that is, why it should hold to an established confession of faith.
Christians sometimes get nervous when you talk about creeds or confessions of faith. In their commitment to the Bible as the word of God, they worry that adherence to creeds might lead to an over-reliance on a man-made document. "Isn't the Bible sufficient?" they might say. "Why do we need anything else?" It's actually a good question and deserves a good answer.
Below I offer eight reasons why a church would benefit from being confessional:
1) Confessions articulate what we believe the Bible teaches. There are an endless number of denominations, traditions, associations, groups, factions, sects and cults that all claim to "believe the Bible." When someone makes this claim, it means next to nothing until we know what that person believes the Bible actually says about Jesus, the Bible, heaven and hell, etc. That's what a confession does.
2) Confessions help clarify difficult doctrinal points. Does the Bible teach that God is three or one? What is a covenant? How does God's sovereignty relate to the exercise of free will? The Scriptures definitely have a position on such questions, but in the Bible, it is not always presented in a concise, easy-to-understand statement. Confessions help to bring clarification to such matters. Is repentance necessary for salvation? WCF 15.3 explains: "Although repentance be not to be rested in, as any satisfaction for sin, or any cause of the pardon thereof, which is the act of God's free grace in Christ; yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may expect pardon without it." Well said.
3) Confessions help unify a church's leadership. It is sometimes said that members of a congregation will only be as spiritually strong as their leaders, so if a church's leaders are doctrinally divided, the congregation might be the same. Paul commands us in Phil. 2:2: "Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."
4) Confessions are included in the Bible. Passages such as Phil. 2:6-11, 1 Tim. 3:16, 1 Cor. 15:3-7 and 1 Cor. 12:3 are understood to be brief confessions of faith used by the early church. So, while man-made confessions are not equal to the Bible in authority, the authority of the Bible does give us warrant to use confessions.
5) Confessions were recited by the early Christians. This is slightly different than point #4. Paul tells Timothy in 1 Tim. 6:12 to "take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." Apparently Timothy recited some kind of basic confession of his faith, and not merely privately, but in the presence of witnesses — likely before a local Christian congregation. It's a way for Christians to acknowledge Jesus before men (Mat. 10:32-33).
6) Confessions help prevent the almost inevitable sway toward liberalism. One problem with "evangelicalism" as a movement is that it is largely undefined and lacks a theological center. When there are no fences, it's difficult to know when you've strayed off the property. Confessions are effective in setting up boundary markers that make it easier to tell when someone starts to stray off path. Charles Spurgeon said, "When men use the very words of the Bible to promote heresy, when the Word of truth is perverted to serve error, nothing less than a confession of faith will serve publicly to draw the lines between truth and error."
7) Confessions are a way to resist rampant individualism in our culture. There is an unhealthy tendency among Christians to think that the most important criteria in Biblical interpretation is "what it means to me," without any regard for what it has meant to anyone else. By adhering to a confession of faith, we humbly acknowledge that we are not the first people to read the Bible, that we can't actually understand the Bible correctly in isolation from others, and that we can greatly benefit from the sanctified work of godly Christians in ages past.
8) Confessions are an expression of honesty. As Carl Trueman writes, "If you don't write your creeds, no one can critique them." By holding to a confession, a church declares, "We are not hiding what we believe. You might disagree with us, but at least you know where we stand on major doctrinal issues."
For further reading, see Trueman's "Why Christians Need Confessions," which I came across after I wrote this blog. And don't forget Trueman's book, The Creedal Imperative.

Lifestyle in Sydney and men's fitness/
Another gorgeous day today in Sydney so I went for a 15k walk. I had fun wandering around the Sydney Harbour (a must go attraction) enjoying the sunshine. A picturesque landscape with the iconic Opera House on one side and the Sydney Harbour Bridge on the other. On the way back to my hotel I decided to walk through Hyde Park, and one thing that caught my eyes and invited me to look closer was the Archibald Fountain, a statue of a man holding a minotaurs horn, both showing the male form so beautiful. There most definitely is a special significance to this male figure as it resembles my company logo for Elite Male Massage. I wasn't inspired by this work of art when I designed my logo, but what a fantastic gift to stumble across today. Thank you, universe! - Oscar Calvo -

Although child-related problems in Japan are said to be less severe than those in advanced western nations, the problems that children face here are critical. Among them, we have the declining birthrate or fewer children, problems of child-raising, child care, and education, child abuse, etc.--the list goes on. And when we think of the next generation, the key question becomes: How should we raise our children.
All of these issues, whether fewer children or child abuse, are being addressed by the entire country, but the effects are little to be seen. The birthrate has not risen, and child abuse, which must been considered in tandem with issues of child-raising, has continued to increase, based on the number of cases handled by child counseling centers. Something's wrong and society is not quite working the way it should.
In December 2009, the Benesse Institute for Child Sciences and Parenting issued its Second Report on Japanese Fathers' Views on Childrearing, which provides insight into the problems of raising children. The main results are as follows.
(1) The percentage of fathers who want to be more involved in housework and raising children than at present is increasing, from 47.9% in 2005 to 54.2% in 2009.
(2) Fathers' participation in child rearing and household matters has changed little compared with four years ago.
(3) The number of fathers taking child-care leave has increased little compared with four years ago despite the considerable number of those who express a wish to do so.
(4) The percentage of fathers who feel "I am needed by my wife" has decreased compared with four years ago.
(5) Fathers' top three anxieties about the future involve money: high cost of future education, high cost of child-rearing, and decrease in own income.
(6) Fathers in non-urban areas spend more time with their children than fathers in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
The notion that fathers should participate in child-raising is hardly a new one. At the very least, the idea was voiced twenty years ago. Nevertheless, even if fathers want to, the reality is that they often can't. On the other hand, it is important to note that it is easier for fathers in non-urban areas because life is slower and they have more time.
In my view, child-related problems, including those that concern child-raising, can be attributed to the negative side of our affluent society. We all know building an affluent society requires work, and to maintain it, a concentrated urban population and participation of both men and women in the workforce. A slow-paced lifestyle becomes difficult in the city, making it harder for fathers to participate in child-raising.
When our lives are busy every day, it becomes impossible to attain peace of mind, and the world becomes a cold and inhospitable place. The working of the human emotions of kindness, consideration and sympathy weakens, and it becomes possible for parents to even abuse their own children.
So, would it be better to sacrifice a little affluence to bring our standard of living to that of a small country in Europe? In that case, whether we like it or not, our lives would slow down. We would work with less stress and be able to enjoy life more, too. Our towns would be filled with lullabies, children's songs and other melodies. They would become places where people greet each other on the street, give their seat to another passenger on the train, and talk gently to children. This would make our towns and neighborhoods friendlier, more sociable places.
In towns like these today, government policies, even the good ones, aren't effective, so they might actually work in such a town.
In thinking about society, we have to consider the areas and mechanisms that contribute to its optimal functioning. Roads and transportation are necessary for society to function, but good systems and policies are just as necessary, and society requires affective information in the form of good information and human kindness that they work. And when it comes to raising children, the ideas of women who give birth to new life are important.
A city in the Kansai region has a group of fathers who seek to play an active role in child-raising. The fathers and their children meet on weekends to enjoy various events together. This helps mothers, both directly and indirectly, by giving them some free space and time. According to the head of this group, he started it because his wife asked him to.
In order to solve problems related to child-raising, shouldn't we be making more of an attempt to incorporate the ideas of women into the practices of child-raising and child care? Let's heed the wisdom of women, who experience childbirth themselves and are directly engaged in raising children.

DPP NOORDIN HAJI goes after MARAGA as Judiciary Registrar ANNE AMADI admits that over 36 million has been stolenEditor's Choice 10:16
Thursday August 9, 2018 - Chief Registrar of the Judiciary, Anne Amadi, has admitted that over sh36 million was lost at Milimani Law Courts under the watch of Chief Justice David Maraga.
This comes even as the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Noordin Haji, has shifted focus on the Judiciary which is headed by Maraga in the war against corruption.
Amadi indicated that the findings from an internal audit by the Judiciary's Directorate of Audit Risk Management proved that there were numerous fraudulent deals at Milimani Law Courts which resulted to the loss of sh36 million.
She noted that they have since invited the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate the matter in depth and ensure all culpable individuals were dealt with according to the law.
"We are in receipt of the full audit report on revenue management at Milimani Law Courts dated July 12, 2018."
"The audit covered the period between January 2016 and December 2017 and reveals revenue of sh36, 000, 334 was lost through various fraudulent deals," Amadi revealed.

PM Milestone Project Management Templates
Right behind "thing" as the most ambiguous word in the English language, "system" can mean just about anything for software. This ambiguity has historically been a root cause of problems in understanding software requirements. So, we will define it here for our purposes.
From business systems theory, a general definition is useful.
Kerzner says that a system is a group of elements organized and arranged so that the elements can act as a whole toward achieving a common goal; is a collection of interacting subsystems; and has boundaries that define it as an open system (which interacts with the
surrounding environment) or a closed system (which is isolated from the surrounding environment).J—1
IEEE defines a system as a collection of components organized to accomplish a specific function or set of functions.
This means that any collection of organized elements oriented towards a goal can be a system. In software project management, we can have many systems: change management system, cost management system, configuration management system, project management information system, and performance measurement system.
We think of the software products of our projects as systems, often composed of hardware, software, and processes.
A key point about systems is that they have boundaries and may or may not interact with their surrounding environments. If they can stand alone and function independently they are closed systems. If they must interact with their environment to be effective they ar®pen systems.
Regardless of whether the products produced by a software project are closed or open systems, programs and projects are almost always open systems, as much of the project manager's job involves interacting with other people and systems in a business environment.
Our definition of the term will be: A system is an organized group of elements with a boundary defining openness or closeness that acts as a whole toward achieving a common goal.
It is important for software project managers to understand the basic nature of systems as they run programs and projects made up of many interacting systems in organizations composed of many interacting systems. This is why their jobs are so complex.
Now we have a consistent language that includes a basic set of PM terms. Next, we will turn to brief descriptions of the SWPM essential software project management competencies, and how they will be addressed in this book. Each SLC phase requires the use of more than one competency, and each competency is used in more than one phase. The chapters are arranged to follow an SLC sequence, each chapter addressing applicable PM skills. As described earlier in this chapter, our focus is quality, software, project, and management. Quality underlies all; software (product), project, and management (people) each have a number of skills that should be possessed or acquired by a project manager. So, we will begin with a brief description of software, or product, competencies.

Blockchain is a tremendously promising technology for transforming supply chain management to make it more efficient and less costly. This article tracks the journey of an IBM team tasked with improving the end-to-end management of enterprise assets.
We describe our starting point, the key architecture questions we had to answer, and our ultimate blockchain-based solution for our business. We share our lessons learned and thoughts on how to scale the system for future growth. Finally, we detail the IBM offerings we used and that are available to you for building your state-of-the-art blockchain solution.
As one of the world's largest providers of IT infrastructure and services, IBM manages millions of hardware and software assets in thousands of IBM and customer facilities. These assets are manufactured at IBM and supplier plants, brought to IBM for configuration, and then deployed in customer data centers.
Tracking these assets as they move from manufacturing to deployment and eventually disposal is complex. Systems operated by IBM, suppliers, logistics companies, and customers are used to support this end-to-end process, with each system focusing on a particular function like planning, logistics, finance, warranty, and operations.
When everything goes perfectly, IBM's assets move through the supply chain and the various systems quite efficiently. However, when issues arise, like an asset getting damaged in transit, or an incorrect item shipped as part of an order, getting all the systems to agree on the actual state of the asset is difficult. The systems and data are siloed, each with their own view of the asset. Resolving these issues is costly and creates delays that impact customer satisfaction and revenue recognition.
In late 2016, IBM recognized an opportunity to improve its asset management system through the use of blockchain technology. A blockchain would capture all transactions and state changes that occur as an asset moves from manufacturing to deployment, including those actions that occur outside of IBM's systems. This blockchain would provide a single source of truth for core information about each asset. This way, no matter what happened to an asset as it moved through the supply chain, all stakeholders and systems would know its status.
"We chose a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach to implement end-to-end asset management using blockchain technology. The MVP gave us a tangible solution within a limited scope."
Blockchain technology enables businesses to form a network that coordinates sharing of one or more ledgers. These shared ledgers differ from traditional databases in a few ways. Most importantly, the ledgers are decentralized. Rather than being controlled by a single administrator or company, the ledger is controlled by the parties that share the ledger. Blockchain technology has four fundamental elements: a shared ledger, peer consensus, smart contracts (business rules), and privacy. Learn more in Blockchain basics: Introduction to distributed ledgers.
Blockchain inspired us to rethink, and enabled us to re-implement, how we work across enterprises. That said, since blockchain technology is new in the enterprise, we wanted to start by having our asset management blockchain shadow the existing process. Even without re-engineering the process, we found that we could use blockchain to augment our existing technology in ways that were valuable to the business.
IBM manages many types of its own assets and it also manages assets for its customers. We focused on a limited set of hardware assets for this project. Specifically, we focused on servers that would be installed in a data center.
Figure 1 represents the complete asset management lifecycle solution. For our purposes here, we focused on two key sub-processes: Inventory capture & logistics, and Hardware tracking and financial management.
IBM's asset management team tracks assets as they move through a supply chain. Tracking starts when the asset is ordered, through productive use, until it is disposed (sold, recycled, etc.). Additionally, IBM's asset management services team performs software-related activities, including license tracking, compliance, and optimization. For MVP purposes, we started at the point when a serial number is generated for an individual asset by the manufacturer (serialization), proceeded to the recording of the asset in a financial ledger as a capital item (capitalization), which happens upon shipment, and continued to the receipt of an asset by IBM (receiving), including the errors that are identified in this step. The last event we included in our tracking was the installation of the asset in a data center.
The status of an asset as it moves through serialization, capitalization, receiving, and installation is recorded in different systems. It is not uncommon for an issue to arise that require the asset management team to gather information from multiple systems in order to resolve it. In some cases, such as when an order received by IBM includes one or more assets with serial numbers that differ from those listed on an invoice, the issue requires IBM and the manufacturer to work together to resolve the issue.
The blockchain solution we built captures information about the asset as it moves from party to party in the supply chain (from manufacturer to IBM) and as the state of the asset is modified (for example, capitalized). Capturing this information in the blockchain gives IBM and its supply chain partners a single source of truth with regard to core asset information. That alone provides value since stakeholders have one system they can use to get what they need to know about an asset.
In the future, the value delivered by this blockchain will be substantially increased as we refactor existing systems to rely on the blockchain as their system of record. Even further gains will be achieved as we begin to use the blockchain as the information backbone of a more automated and streamlined process that reduces cycle times and errors.
The management of hardware and software assets has become a complex process within distributed environments. We often find that clients seek out third-party tools and services to obtain better control of their IT environment and to improve the inventory compliance posture in their organizations. These factors, coupled with the proliferation (and redundancy) of IT data repositories and system designs/process flows, make the most simplistic definition of "tracking an asset" complex, prone to inaccuracy, and with long delays in accessing critical information needed by service delivery actors. The thought of secure data sitting in a highly restricted repository is now changing to cloud-based applications with aggregation and cognition of related metadata to bring renewed trust in data. Yet, automation strategies have addressed internal, back-office functions, but rarely do they give direct benefit to clients.
Our vision is a blockchain-based system to replace many of the legacy processes, tasks, and manual actions taken by various service delivery actors throughout the process. The system will replace inconsistent and out-of-sync data with a "block" of information that serves as the ultimate and immutable system of record truth, available in near real-time for all actors to use for ongoing information and transactions. Partnering with additional suppliers and clients is equally important to ensure the system is built to client needs and expectations.
Imagine a whole new delivery process for tracking assets. By using the business network offered in blockchain technology, all parties involved in a transaction on any key data element will be able to avoid disputes, have access to the single truth of status in near real-time, and mitigate, if not eliminate, software compliance exposures and even audits. We are moving away from reactive, mid-value service via administration and analytics to high-value, automated services that integrate all the necessary parties transacting on data with proactive checks in a new process that eliminates any redundancy, validations, reconciliations, and compliance documentation.
As shown in Figure 2, our vision is to change the technology and process for managing transactional updates applied to hardware, software, and associated contracts via blockchain technology, yielding a whole new system-of-engagement approach to all service delivery actions and clients, apart from the lifecycle of these hardware and software assets.
We kicked off the MVP with the goal of examining whether we could manage the lifecycle of a marketable product such as a server. We applied the "IBM Design Thinking" approach, and limited the scope to what we could achieve in a 12-week period:
Identify the business value realized by the solution
Before making some key architectural decisions, we had to do some analysis:
We determined that applying blockchain technology will yield significant long-term benefits.
As a result, the key architectural decisions were:
The intent of the MVP was to build a limited-use, "production-ready" solution and prove the capability of the blockchain to help with asset lifecycle management issues. Hence, the team picked a set of core user stories that demonstrate business value and overcome technical challenges.
The solution architecture addresses the following user stories:
We deployed the solution on an instance of the blockchain running on the public IBM Cloud. The access to the blockchain is provided by the SDK for Node.js client interface. All partner, application, and user interactions flow through the API or the user interface that sits on top of it. The data that flows in and out of the blockchain are in JSON format, thus making it easy to understand, consume, and process. In the MVP, the Node.js client integrates with the manufacturing systems using the MQHub service available on IBM Cloud.
During the solution development process, we had to carefully avoid the pitfall of designing the blockchain as "yet another application" or "a centralized operational database."
The MVP has to support internal users and business partners around the world, so it requires a highly available infrastructure. Our initial deployment is on a public IBM Cloud environment, which provides IBM Blockchain and Node JS as services. The deployment architecture is shown in Figure 5.
In Figure 5, the environment within IBM is divided into various security zones. The asset management application has been deployed on the "Red Zone" which is public. The supply chain applications are on the intranet or "Blue Zone." The final target production environment will be on HSBAs shown in Figure 5, the environment within IBM is divided into various security zones. The asset management application has been deployed on the "Red Zone" which is public. The supply chain applications are on the intranet or "Blue Zone." The final target production environment is now on IBM's Blockchain Platform, Enterprise Level Plan and will utilize Hyperledger Fabric v1.1.N (Highly Secure Business Network) once Fabric v0.6 becomes available.
Blockchain technology has the potential to address the interoperability challenges currently present in supply chain IT systems and to be the technical standard that enables customers, suppliers, logistics operators, financial institutions, contract manufacturers, and third-party service providers to securely share asset information.
Thus, the design we propose must be able to scale to support new asset types, events, business entities, and applications. During the MVP phase, we realized early on that while maintaining the immutability of the ledger, the solution must be scalable, extensible, and able to accommodate forward and backward compatibility with new releases of the fabric.
The interim reference architecture in Figure 6 shows our strategic thinking.
In Figure 6, the right two columns represent the blockchain cluster and the Fabric-Client clients accessing those chains. Each blockchain in the cluster provides different services to each other and the clients that connect to them. The Fabric-Client clients have been modeled to access a local database to be used by that instance of the client alone for client-specific data that requires caching. The clients also leverage a shared cloud database between them. In future architectures, a cloud database such as Cloudant would act as a shared data store for encrypted documents, instead of the file share being used in the MVP.
The middle column represents application UI and its components. Any number of them can connect to the Fabric-Client APIs and interact with the blockchain(s).
IBM Blockchain Platform is a set of configurable services, APIs, a modeling language, and a programming model to help you quickly define and deploy blockchain networks and applications. Find out more
The second column from the left provides integration services such as MQ, ESB, and microservices. For example, the Fabric-Client client might invoke a Fixed Asset Accounting-Microservice to make a real-time Asset Capitalization check with the fixed asset accounting system while processing a Shipment event. The very first column represents the various supply chain organizations including partners, and the applications that deliver various supply chain services. They communicate with the blockchain via the integration services or the UI or both.
After the initial MVP release, we positioned the solution to be able to accommodate and scale with future releases of the fabric. The chaincode (smart contract) can consume an event-state configuration definition (shown in Listing 1) for a specific product category and execute upon it. This model enables adding new events and states that may be discovered in the future.
Product_category {
{ "EventStates": [
"EventID": "MANUFACTURING",
"EventNO": 1,
"RecType": "EventState",
"EventDesc": "The Asset is manufactured & serialized",
"ParentStates": [ "INIT"],
"ChildStates": [ "SERIALIZED", "SHIPPED"],
"Action": "AssetManufacturedEvent",
"Documents": ["PlantOrder", "CustomerOrder"],
"Signatures": ["Asset Admin", "Customer", "Order Manager"],
"PreEvents": ["None"],
"NextEvents": ["None"],
"RoleAccess": ["Admin", "Manufacturer"],
"TestEvent": "TestEventIntegrity"
"EventID": "SERIALIZED",
"EventNO": 2,
The smart contract validates the event against the current state of the asset, and applies the Action(s), verifies Signature(s) and supporting Document(s), provided the client has the specific RoleAccess.
When a new event is added to the configuration, the chaincode provides a function to reinitialize its map that can be invoked by a client that has the permission and authorization(s). Obviously, exceptions to normal contracts may have to be coded into the chaincode, and a new version will have to be released.
The asset management data model, shown in Figure 7, is an integral part of the scalable design. The asset is treated as a first-class object whose state is influenced by events. Events are triggered by transactions originating within the supply chain environment.
The asset data model consists of the following attributes:
We learned a few lessons while building this MVP, especially since the solution represents a paradigm shift in how we think about business, disruptive technology, and legacy systems:
From startups to enterprises, from paper-based businesses to technology companies, businesses can use flexible platforms and infrastructure offerings to design, deploy, and manage blockchain networks using IBM Blockchain offerings.
IBM Blockchain networks are built to benefit from decentralized control, but some cloud environments are open to vulnerabilities. Working with teams of security experts, cryptographers, hardware experts, and researchers, IBM has created essential cloud services for tamper-resistant, trusted blockchain networks.
This Blockchain network plan runs in a secure infrastructure. This plan offers high levels of security that close any back doors to unauthorized access and tampering. Learn more at IBM Blockchain offerings and sign up for the IBM Blockchain Platform plans. These plans provide easy-to-use, built-in workflow tools that allow members of a blockchain network to scale and grow as multi-company networks grow. These plans also provide backup and restore procedures, logging and monitoring, rigorous security, and a high-availability/fault-tolerant architecture that eliminates single points of failure.

Apocalypse Now (1979)
1 question
Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Frederic Forrest, Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall
Question: Why was only one officer (Captain Willard) sent to assassinate Colonel Kurtz? Isn't it very unlikely for a captain like Willard to be able to kill a powerful and influential and "insane" colonel like Kurtz?L0gical
Chosen answer: Kurtz was protected by political connections and his military record from being relieved of command, and the Montagnard people whose village he was in were considered American allies, so they couldn't just send a force in to kill him or relieve him of command, but an individual assassin. (The US Government's "official" policy is that they do not engage in assassination, which is why "this mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist").Captain Defenestrator
Revealing mistake: In the major helicopter scene when Ride of the Valkyries is played, the actual tape isn't going over the playing heads. (00:37:29)

We got to the shop pretty early to cast up the painful mold of my hand we finished yesterday!
The redness on my arm was gone today from the instant hair removal. Gone, but not forgotten.
We did the pour in six stages per hand. There is undercuts everywhere in the mold, and I don't think we would be able to get all the air out of the mold in one shot. We slush cast each pour as we went.
Color aside, it's a bit weird to drill an exact duplicate, including hair, of your own hand.
We finished up with a few coats of satin black laquer, and set them aside to dry. Delivery first thing in the AM.
As soon as we drop these bad boys off, we're picking up our rental car, and heading down to New York. It's going to be great to go back to Techno CNC and see everyone. I'm really excited for their cnc sign making demo they're hosting on Friday!
Hopefully we'll see you there!!
A behind the scenes look at film and television Prop making peppered with everything else creative we do!
When I lent my services to a collegue who was working on a film about 12 years ago, I was introduced to the world of cnc. I remember watching this huge machining centre milling out a slab of mdf and turning it into a fantastic set of gears. I knew that it would have taken me hours to achieve the same thing with traditional power tools. I decided then that I would invest in a cnc router for my own business Oxenham Design. At that time I could turn on a computer, but even to check email seemed like a crazy set of operations. I persevered and learned every piece of relevant software I could get my hands on. I am now fortunate enough to be using Vectric's ASPIRE software, and Techno cnc routers, which has helped us to create some amazing projects, both in part, or in full. I thought that this blog would be a great place to share "behind the scenes" adventures with the software, materials and equipment we use, as well as the projects we build.

Talent Profile: L'Marr Ffrench
Since 2006, we've been fortunate to support the development of thousands of brilliant and ambitious, socially and ethnically diverse young talent.
Recently we've been speaking with students from some of the first programmes we ran back in 2009/10, to find out what the impact of working with Arrival Education has had on their careers and lives so far.
This week, we caught up with L'Marr…
Where did you grow-up/ go to school? What was it like?
I grew up in Croydon and attended Oasis Academy in Shirley Park. Growing up in Croydon was both exciting and dangerous. It's a multi-cultural area, which allowed me to understand people from different parts of the world without holding an obscure view. However, the other side of this was seeing people in real difficulty, witnessing what self-hate is and seeing how detrimental that could be.
School, on the other hand, was a pleasant experience depending on how you look at things. A great mixture of ethnicities and big personalities. The first years were hard – constantly being confronted, compromising to avoid hostility and having to stand up for myself – but I learnt early how to 'play the game'.
How old were you when you started working with Arrival Education?
I started on one of Arrival Education's programmes aged 13-14. I also started working for Arrival Education when I was ages 17-18 before I decided to go to university.
What has been the impact of working with Arrival Education?
Working with Arrival Education there are three key skills that have had an impact: perseverance, integrity and leadership.
Being able to persevere through adversity has helped me a lot. Usually, when situations seemed like they were against me I would look for another path. Now, when faced with similar situations I look for a different view. This allows me to be unstoppable because I know if there is a will there is a way.
Working with Arrival Education you learn to do better and improve continuously. Never settling for anything less.
If you hadn't worked with Arrival Education, what do you think the difference would be?
I would have held myself back in self-doubt. I wouldn't have taken the opportunities that arose or the made the bold moves I've made for myself.
Looking back, what was it about working with Arrival Education that helped you most?
Learning the importance of interaction between people, sharing information and personal experiences. It really puts things into perspective and it has allowed me to appreciate things more.
Also, the attitude of everyone involved in Arrival Education, is about positivity and striving for success. For example, sharing what has went well, what hasn't gone well. It reminds you that everyone is human and we all go through our trials and tribulations, but how we tackle these barriers is what defines us at AE.
What are you doing now? What are your hopes for your future?
Recently I've finished my course in computer science. Whilst studying, I have been working in a number of roles, which led me to my current job at Royal Mail. I will be using the funds earned to achieve new IT certificates and coaching licences.
What would you say about Arrival Education to someone who had never heard of us?
That Arrival Education is a place that will shape your mindsets to always strive for success and greatness. A place where you develop self-motivation, confidence and self-awareness.
If you would like to hear more about our work or how we can help you or your business, send us a message.

The 500px Route
The instructions were given. The group photos were posed. Breakfast was done. So, it was time to get on with the walk. So, how was the route?
Put it this way, if I was the one organising the walk, I would've picked this particular one. To put it mildly, it was uninspiring. It was basically one round loop, with clear instructions to only venture off once we met up at the end of the formal walk. I could have finished the route in 30 minutes, and we had close to 4 hours before the designated rendezvous. Too much time to kill.
So, I explored MaTIC itself for a start. Neat colonial building and this early in the morning, there was hardly anything happening there.
I then took a left along Jalan Ampang to the Jalan Sultan Ismail turn opposite Renaissance Hotel. A bit of street work, building site and architecture. The Bukit Nanas Monorel Station had a bit of colour.
Next up, we walked along Jalan Sultan Ismail, passing by Hard Rock Cafe and did an anti-clockwise turn joining Jalan P Ramlee walking towards KLCC passing by a few more buildings.
The whole group then congregated by Laman Standard Chartered, a nice little piece of greenary smack in the middle of town next to KLCC. First time discovering this place, it was actually quite nice and tranquil.
We then noticed that the air quality dropped and the haze started coming in. I escaped towards Suria KLCC, with the plan to have a quick cup of coffee. I walked towards the famous fountain at KLCC Park and the visibility had dropped considerably by then.
Since I parked the car there, I decided to split and drove home. Might as well spend the rest of the morning with the family. There would be another photowalk coming next weekend, so I might as well just safe my energy for that one ..
The combination of uninspired route, poor air quality and too big a crowd put me off in the end, but it didn't mean that it was the fault of the organiser. I was sure that they did their best. I route around Bukit Bintang, Chow Kit, Masjid India or Kampung Baharu would have been better I guessed. Looking at the snaps, it wasn't that bad. And photography was all about creativity. The real talent was making a scene appeared inspired. After all, anybody could pick up a camera and press the shutter!


text: Anyone who has seen my extensive range of hawaiian shirts (which are , according to some of my family, "So yesterday" but I don't care) will know that I don't mind really bright colours. When I saw these houses/apartments in Little India in Singapore I instantly fell in love with them. It wouldn't matter how crappy your day was, coming home to a home like this would have to put a smile on your dial 🙂

Often when I see a van, I can't help but wonder; is this thing hiding something? The FBI spying on the building across the street? surfers, hippies, drunk musicians? Serial killers, dead bodies!?? Questions gets in heavy rotation. What could be happening inside of it, right at this particular moment. Are there people having sex? Doing drugs? Just sleeping? Empty, jam packed with a bunch of junk or extremely valuable items? Are they looking at me looking at them? Or there's just completely nothing going on inside and I should go on with my day?

Who is "Deposit"?
After checking the club's bank account we have discovered we have three new members: Marlena; Simon; and Deposit.
Marlena and Simon we know are enthusiastic sailors, but the only thing we know about Deposit is that they paid $400 into the DBSC bank account on 20 October 2014 and are unfamiliar with the protocols of making electronic funds transfers (usually referred to as "EFT").
Would Deposit contact either me ( email@example.com ), or the Treasurer ( email@example.com ) so we can allocate a conventional name to the nickname, please?
I encourage all our members to make welcome this season's 96th, 97th and 98th regular members!

New Health Minister Greg Hunt: Australian Dialysis Patients w/ aHUS Need Soliris to Live!
This petition had 5,582 supporters
There is a drug that would allow those on dialysis with aHUS in Australia to get a kidney transplant and live a normal life. But the government has maintained a policy of denying it. These patients are in desperate need of your help and you can make a difference by signing this petition!
Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) is an ultra-rare life-threatening blood disease that can damage major organs like the kidneys, heart, brain, and can even cause death. Soliris (eculizumab) is the only approved drug that can save the lives of those with aHUS. It is saving lives in the US, Spain, France, England, Germany, Russia, Argentina, Italy, and other countries.
Over 2 years ago the Australian government made the decision to finally fund Soliris for a small number of aHUS patients who met "defined clinical criteria". Great news, right? Well it was great news for those who were new patients with active aHUS. But those who had already lost their kidneys due to their aHUS, and were on dialysis in need of a kidney transplant, were denied this drug that would save their lives. Without access to Soliris, a transplanted kidney would suffer the same aHUS attack as their native kidneys.
A meeting is scheduled for July 2017 by the PBAC to discuss funding Soliris for those patients needing a kidney transplant. Let's show the government that we have a big voice and we expect them to make Soliris available to all who need it.
Please sign this petition telling Greg Hunt MP, the new Minister for Health in Australia; Professor Andrew Wilson, Chair of the PBAC; Alex Best, PBS advisor; and Dr. John Paul, PBAC Director that they should immediately provide Soliris to those patients in Australia with aHUS who are on dialysis and in need of a kidney transplant. And please leave a comment when you sign. Each comment will generate an email to the recipients of this petition.

Mannywood part two
Depending on your dedication to the sport and/or frivolous events MLB's All Star festivities are usually an objectively boring endeavor. Don't get me wrong personally I loved it. We got a new Captain America, MLB kept hammering home how great Trout is, there was a bunch of homers and everyone got to play, even a guy named Scooter. One thing in particular captivated me throughout the week however, the way in which Manny Machado's inevitable departure unfolded.
The Orioles were always going to trade Manny Machado it was just a matter of to who, when and for what. A player of his caliber was certain to bring a sizeable return and the Orioles had to due their due diligence. With a number of teams in the mix news broke late Monday that Manny was basically a Dodger. However paperwork is a bitch, it would take some time to finalize the trade and the All Star game was that day. Manny suited up for the American League team wearing the Orioles orange as expected. Then the show began.
The Orioles have been mediocre for the majority of the superstar shortstops career and he finally escaped he was on a world series favorite now. He took selfies with his new co-worker and had an exit interview during the game. The deal wasn't even finished and given the Orioles humorous history with player physicals was far from done. What if it all had to be undone, awkward. It was surreal watching this game of stars revolve around one so much. It was like the end of a movie or if you're a sad downtrodden Orioles fan…
As an O's fan, this whole Manny Machado thing feels like breaking up with your significant other in a really public place while everyone watches and laughs.— Cespedes Family BBQ (@CespedesBBQ) July 18, 2018
Somebody Feed Phil
I love food, and I love food shows. Travel shows about food are the best, and Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix is one of the ones I've enjoyed the most in recent memory. Phil Rosenthal is the lead of the show and aside from starring as Adam Sandler's sous-chef in Spanglish he's best known for being the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond. He's about as NY Jew as they come this side of the cast of Seinfeld, except the man loves food. He travels the world and eats food while also learning about and interacting with the locals.
Phil doesn't have the "credentials" of a chef, so what really makes his show worth watching is how he interacts with people. He's a dorky looking guy who is incredibly happy to be presented with food and also seems genuinely sweet when talking to the people he encounters on his trip. It's similar to Parts Unknown in that it threads the needle between being about food but also being about exploring the world and learning about what makes unifies us as a human race and expaning our horizons. What also makes the show work really well is that he'll eat street food and fancy chef food in the same show and he'll end every episode with a skype call to his parents. Those are often the highlight of the show.
Season 2 just got added to Netflix in the last month and each one is well worth watching!
Welcome to Marwen
Janelle Monáe's appearance is only the cherry on top when it comes to my anticipation of Welcome to Marwen. The second trailer for this film was released and I just can't get over my excitement for it. I will watch any story no matter how historically inaccurate it may be if it includes Nazis getting their asses kicked and even more so if there is an element of surrealism to it. Based on the true story of artist Mark Hogencamp who suffered traumatic brain injuries after being attacked outside a bar which left him with no memories of his adult life, the film brings to life his fictional town of Marwencol. In the trailer we learn the residents of Marwen are modeled after the real women in his life who have helped him during his recovery and whom he describes as his protectors. We sort of get the full story from it including the love angle between Carell's character and that of the lovely Leslie Mann, but I am looking forward to watching how the story is told with these stunning, and I mean stunning dolls. I was nearly blown away and not because of how detailed they were constructed, but because this is what we'll actually get to see on a huge screen as we learn about Hogencamp's journey. When was the last time we saw a movie like this? Yeah, okay Small Soldiers was a masterful piece of cinema, but I am willing to bet that Welcome to Marwen delves deeper on an emotional level as we go into a dreamlike reality. Films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Midnight in Paris came to mind when I saw this trailer and those won Academy Awards...so just saying. I hope I'm not wrong, but we are getting a film written by Caroline Thompson (Edward Scissorhands), directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future) and starring Steve Carell and if you've seen Dan in Real Life and Anchorman you know that man's range and I have no doubt he will deliver in this as well.

"Hi Trevor! I have been thinking that I need to connect with you! I DID book my trip and will be heading out there on the 26th. My friend is going to meet me on the Sunday and we're going to camp in Tofino for the week which I am very excited about. But I'm hoping you will be around so we can have a some tea and a good catch up. Will you? And would it be ok if I stayed with you for a few days?"
As I read the above message I notice an unexpected feeling. It is complex; about as welcome as the whine of a mosquito in my ear; there is a subtle sense that I don't want her to come; I sit with it a while longer; I am feeling taken for granted, an outsider to her planning. How weird! This is so illogical; I have always encouraged her to stay with me whenever she wants to; to make my place a base for other activities; why on earth are these inconvenient feelings arising now? As I sit and allow myself to explore the emotion connected with this e-mail I realize that there is familiarity. Then I connect the dots and recall I had this same feeling when she came to stay last November. At the time I had not expressed how I felt; it seemed too petty and insignificant yet the very fact it has reoccurred suggests that there is some exploration yet to be completed.
My first step is to find the old journal where I may have recorded in more detail what is currently just a fuzzy memory. Success – here it is. November 1st "I had a bit of a weird time. She seems more reactive than I remember – part of finding her voice I presume. She was very vague about her plans and was late for an engagement we had made for tea. I did not see much of her at all; in fact it felt like I was the hotelier neither considered nor appreciated. Then she spent her last evening and night at her friend's place whereas I think I had assumed we would have dinner together. Then there was a last minute exchange where I quipped about the amount of her luggage and that she was one of those passengers I would hate to sit next to." I shudder as I read this and see what in hindsight is a classic example of passive-aggressive behaviour. I had disguised a jab with humour but in reality it was an unconscious reaction from hurt feelings. Her actions were entirely logical and of course not designed to wound me but I had taken it personally. At the time I had thought about exploring the meaning then life got in the way and all memory of the incident dissipated. I had seen her over Christmas and noticed no residual energy around it yet here I was again. It obviously was not complete.
I liken one of these inquiries to a jigsaw puzzle. I have to keep unearthing pieces until I see a picture. I looked at my own behaviour in this situation. Why do I make my place so available without conditions? Am I using it as a way to encourage her to spend time with me then feel disappointed if I am excluded? How unreasonable it seems in hindsight to have expectations with out mentioning them. Do I offer my place to ensure I see someone who I am fearful won't make time for me otherwise? I feel myself recoil from this image of using my beautiful home as an enticement. Wow, talk about the complexity that precedes the simplicity.
Recently I have been reading James Hollis again and his words still resonated, "activating these charged clusters of energy transfers the experiences of other times and places to the present, undermining our capacity for conscious choice and holding us hostage to the past." Likely the answer lies in the past but I could not relate this to any previous childhood trauma. I never had anything to use as an enticement as a child. Our family was poor and I recall dealing with challenges of being perceived as mean as a child at boarding school because I could not bring myself to share when I had so little. This had influenced my adult self toovercompensate to avoid that label ever again. I have no recollection of how I would try and get people to like me or spend time with me as a child. I draw a rune to guide me. "Separation – paths divide, old skins are shed. How skillful the means that free you to become more truly who you are" It talks to letting go of outmoded relationships, and of submission and retreat. It suggests letting go of attachments to society, work or even beliefs.
Later, I shared this with my niece who is a coach and she asked me what kind of relationship I would like with my friend. I respond that I want to hang out with her occasionally when she visits. She said if she has a friend to stay they agree to set aside a defined time for them as part of the visit. Is this what I need to ask for? As I write these words I feel some resistance. This challenge in asking for what I want; this seems like an old pattern; I have often wanted my needs to be met intuitively as I feel vulnerable about stating needs or expectations. What childhood episode would have helped create that particular "charged cluster of energy"? There are lots of pieces but no picture. I realize it is time to let it go for a while. I have awareness and an intention to find the answer perhaps it is time to wait on the universe to respond. I decide to enjoy a ride on my bike in the beautiful Vancouver Spring day.
A series of images emerge into my consciousness on my bike ride. One is of a nine-year old clinging to the under side of the bed, as his father attempts to dislodge him to face punishment. His sin was to not want to go to church. The second was of an eleven-year old sobbing for hours at the news that he was to be sent away to boarding school. The third of a seventeen-year old lying on the kitchen floor; his mother crying in the background; he had been floored by a left hook from his furious father because he refused to tell him he had been to a movie on a Sunday. Things begin to fall in=to place. No wonder I still have trouble asking for my needs to be met. I feel tears of compassion for that disempowered child combined with a sense of relief like a spring unwinding. It seems clear to me that I need to ask my friend to schedule some time for us to hang out together when she visits. I draw another rune to ask whether this is complete. The answer seems encouraging. Harvest "A rune of beneficial outcomes, Harvest encourages and supports any activity or endeavour to which you are committed. Be aware that no quick results can be expected." Ah it is not the end but perhaps as Winston Churchill once observed "it is the end of the beginning".
A few days later I call my friend to confirm she is welcome to stay; I have only positive feelings to the idea; it is amazing how much energy has shifted by doing this work; I suggest we take some time for a hike while she is here. Her response is an enthusiastic affirmative. The picture seems complete.

New Turbine DC-3
MFI is making a profound difference with missionaries and their projects in the Caribbean. As MFI grows, so do the opportunities to serve more missions. Our most urgent opportunity is to expand the MFI fleet by adding a third turbine-powered DC-3. With this project in mind we started praying for the Lord's provision and He has provided. The plane to the left has been purchased by MFI and arrived in Florida in May 2017.
Thousands of missionaries and their organizations are depending on our continued service. This service translates into physical needs met and many souls coming to Christ each year.
Please consider assisting MFI with a generous donation designated for this new turbine DC-3 to help us finish out reconstruction and maintenance. MFI strives to provide consistent and reliable service to the missionaries it serves and a third turbine DC-3 will go a long way towards making that possible for the foreseeable future.

At the Abbott mansion, Sharon returns to find Jack upset with Maggie's visit. He hugs her and tells her he is now the "official or unofficial person of interest in the Ji Min homicide." Sharon and Jack discuss Ji Min's case and the fact they can't get a break. He's worried the evidence will get to the tabloids, but Sharon tells him it doesn't prove anything. He advises her it doesn't have to, it will still affect his credibility.
What is Jeffrey Bardwell really up to?
Sharon finds out Jack was the last person to see Ji Min alive, Gloria has a "date" with Jeffrey, Phyllis and Michael bring up John's will...
At the Club, Jill runs into Maggie and asks about Ji Min. Jill reminds her of seeing Ji Min dead on the floor and begs her for information on the case. Despite reservations, Maggie lets Jill know about the new lead forensics found of dog hair, similar to a that of a golden retriever's like Jack Abbott's dog Fisher. She informs her its not conclusive and Jack has told her he had had no physical contact with Ji Min, yet also informs her that it appears Jack was the last person to see Ji Min alive.
In Jail, the Chaplain looks on while Phyllis takes in her surroundings. Later, he walks up to her as she explains her trouble with the warden and he admits her appeal was denied too. He offers prayer or just to talk. She brings up the work release program and working on the website for the Clear Springs project.
Phyllis reflects the past year to the Chaplain, she knows she was wrong but wants to get out before six years and just wants it to all work out. He admits to her everyone struggles with uncertainty but this is where faith comes in. It can help if given the chance. She mentions John Abbott to him and he admits John was lost after his illness, but knew his blessings, including friends and family, despite his heavy burdens, which gave him peace of mind.
At the Baldwins', Michael finds out Gloria is getting ready for a date with Jeffrey. He points out that Jeffrey Bardwell is "a man with a plan" regarding her inheritance and possibly would like to see her in prison for manslaughter. He warns her to stay away from him but she refuses.
While at the Club, Jill sees Cane and Heather and asks to speak to Cane. She informs him about Maggie's discussion with her about the forensic evidence and Jack Abbott. Maggie excuses herself, speaks to Heather for a moment and tells Heather she thinks Jack may not be telling them everything he knows. Meanwhile, Jill tells Cane she thinks Jack is guilty.
Gloria runs into Jeffrey at the Club and they decide to swap information about each other. They sit down and later she discusses how meeting John and his brother changed her life. She described John as being the "perfect man" and the first man who allowed her to hold her head up high even though he did leave her out of his will. She thinks his son Jack was responsible but there is no proof. Jeffrey understands how she feels, he doesn't know if William really meant to leave him out of his will or was manipulated into doing it. Gloria questions this, John was sick, but William wasn't. She wonders how he alienated both William and his uncle. She admits with William it was Miranda. He explains with his uncle he made his own fortune and feels his uncle thought he didn't really need the money, but admits to Gloria that although he made a fortune, it was all lost eventually.
Jeffrey admits to Gloria he is looking into real estate and franchise opportunities. She wonders if he wants her to invest, but he tells her no. He invites her out again, wanting to know more about her.
Back at the Abbott mansion Sharon and Jack wonder how Fisher's hair was on Ji Min's body. Jack thanks Sharon for all her support and for not freaking out. The doorbell rings as Jill arrives immediately questioning Jack about the dog hair. Sharon defends Jack while Jack brings up the many scenarios of how Fisher's hair could have ended up on Ji Min's body. Jill accuses Jack of killing Ji Min, although she admits she doesn't think he intended to kill him, she thinks they got in a fight and he left him to die. Jill informs Sharon that Jack was the last person seen by security cameras leaving Ji Min's room. Sharon is visibly upset as Jack explains he was just about to tell her.
Cane and Heather continue their date at the Club. He brings up the evidence on Jack and she lets him know she can't talk about it. He keeps insisting, but so does she and the fact she cannot discuss it. He apologizes and she accepts.
Michael visits Phyllis in Jail advising her to behave while she is there. She tells him about her run in with the warden, meeting up with the Chaplain and mentions he's the same person who counselled John Abbott. Michael brings up that when John was in prison he was not of sound mind. This is when the will was done cutting Gloria out of it. He blames Jack for it. Phyllis points out Gloria lost the case because the judge accepted the will. Michael still questions everything with Jack, yet Phyllis continues to defend him. They turn the discussion around to the work release and Michael admits its good to have Jack on her side. They discuss the good points and bad points about Jack, but Phyllis points out that not only has Jack broken the law a few times, they all have. She continues to defend Jack especially about the will. Michael disagrees on this point.
Back at the Abbott mansion, Sharon questions Jack about the surveillance tapes at the hotel and why he didn't tell her right away when he knew about them. She wonders what else isn't true and what else was he meaning to tell her. She admits things look really bad but admits she also knows he didn't do it. She leaves to pick up Noah.
After Sharon leaves to pick up Noah, Jack is lost in thought when his father's spirit arrives. John advises Jack that Sharon is the best thing in his life and not to forget it. He also reminds him she's not the only person looking out for him.
John and Jack discuss Ji Min's homicide. Jack admits he didn't kill Ji Min. John advises he needs to start convincing people of that. He has to take control over the things he can. Jack admits all he can do is find out who the killer himself and John agrees, it sounds like a good plan.
At the Baldwins', Michael arrives home as Gloria fills him in on her date with Jeffrey. She's just not sure about him, although he didn't discuss the cream or the lawsuit, he also didn't ask for a nightcap or try to kiss her and wonders why. She admits the only thing he was interested in was her money, that Jeffrey Bardwell is a gold digger. Michael agrees and has all along thought the same thing.
Back at the Club, Jeffrey walks up to Jill who is still startled by his resemblance to Will. She invites him to sit with her. He asks if Will and her were close and she admits they were good friends who actually dated for a while, but he married someone else "Gloria Fisher Abbott Kennedy Presley Bardwell" and wonders if he knows her. He admits he knows her and informs Jill that his brother made the wrong choice.
At the basketball court, Cane calls Heather to again apologize and lets her know he won't do it again. He slams the ball against the wall.

Review: 'Jersey Boys' - Canadian Tour/
Damon Jang
The Tony award winning musical Jersey Boys first opened on Broadway in 2005, and as Frankie Valli compares in the play, he's just like the "Energizer Bunny" and he keeps going and going…
The musical doesn't show signs of stopping either, luckily for this viewer this touring production still sings.
The story follows the rise of the Four Seasons-Bob Gaudio, Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi. With a story set up straight out of GoodFellas, Tommy DeVito places Frankie Valli (kid with the voice of an angel) to front his band. Through recording contracts and new writing partners (Bob Gaudio) the Four Seasons coalesce. We eventually see how debt, family tragedy, and tour life colour the rest of the four's lives.
One of the effective things about Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice's book is that story does not become second fiddle to the songs, as this is one of the first of many Jukebox musicals to come out of the early 2000's, songs become catalysts and incremental steps to the ascent of the group's fame. The writers don't sanitize these boys either; the show is peppered with profanity, which contributes to some very funny scenes. Brickman and Elice also have the four men narrate each of their sides of the story, parsed out with each corresponding season making for four different perspectives that fully gives full value to each of these characters.
Jonny Wexler playing Frankie Valli here has a stellar falsetto and wicked dance moves, and in the final scenes brings an emotional weight that makes them the more poignant. Corey Greenan is an especially suave and slick Tommy DeVito with a great singing voice. Tommaso Antico makes for a very handsome and nervous Bob Gaudio, who sings a clear, and bright version of "Oh, What a Night." Chris Stevens has a very put on voice for his Nick Massi that makes him seem like the less intelligent of the group but it does payoff in his scenes.
The scenic design by Klara Zieglerova helps to keep the story moving and creates two levels of scaffold accented by projections that is in the style of Sixties pop art. Howell Binkley gives the rock and roll lighting but helps with passage of time. Des McAnuff really keeps the driving the pace as we have a lot of ground to cover, but each isolated scene transitions into another on the turn of a dime and rings depth, character, and humour from the book. The choreography by Sergio Trujillo is appropriately period but makes these characters more impressive in the musical numbers.
Jukebox musicals can be tough to sit through if you don't have a story to hold up to the songs, but Jersey Boys does just that gives the audience the songs of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and gives us insight into the how, what, when and where it happened.
CATCH JERSEY BOYS the Broadway Across Canada Tour at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver until Novemver 19th.

The feats of the Blériot XI
The Blériot XI flew for the first time in 1909: it was the first aircraft to fly across the English Channel and the Alps, performing the first war flight ever.
The exhibition at Volandia includes the Blériot XI, one of the most famous airplanes in the history of aviation. The reason for its importance is obvious: the Blériot XI is a true pioneer, since it was the first airplane to carry out flight operations.
Designed at the beginning of the 1900s by the French Luis Blériot and Raymond Saunier, it flew for the first time on the 23rd January 1909. Its creator, Blériot, is the first pilot to receive a license in France. Once broken, his pioneering enterprise is ready for a monoplane first: the channel crossing. Driving, always Luis Blériot. The chosen date is the 25th July of the same year. Thanks to this record, the French pilot became famous all over the world and was awarded a prize of £ 1,000.
Less than a year later the Blériot XI, equipped with a seven-cylinder, 50 hp Gnome Omega Monosupape rotary engine, flew over the Alps. It was the 3rd September 1910 and the feat was accomplished by the Peruvian pilot Geo Chavez.
The monoplane had moments of celebrity even in theatres of war. During the Italo-Turkish war in Libya, Captain Carlo Maria Piazza flew a reconnaissance flight over Aziziya (Tripolitania) aboard a Blériot XI. It was the 23rd October 1911, and that was the first war flight in the history of aviation.
Two years later, Piazza made the first landing at 2,000 meters above sea level, on the plateau of Mont Cenis. The name of the plane? Obviously, a Blériot XI.

Kitchens are a perpetual drawback for renters. Right here, Eva-Marie Prineas of Architect Prineas shares with us 5 brilliant kitchen design ideas – showcasing very completely different kitchen styles – and explains how every one was created and tailor-made to the homeowners' particular person wants.
Remember to concentrate to creating atmosphere with artisanal kitchen elements, incorporating transitional kitchen design parts, upgrading your extractor fan to a real design feature and creating a stunning kitchen inside by curating your styling to essentially personalise the area.
In reconfiguring the format of this house, says Eva-Marie, The service spaces, including the kitchen, are pulled off the condominium's perimeter to turn out to be a monolithic pod that sits comfortably within the scale of the present warehouse residence." As well as combining these service areas (kitchen, toilet, en-suite and laundry), this centralised 'pod' also helps divide the public and private zones within the house.
You might also need to discuss to a member of our design studio about storage options, whether you may have space for a function equivalent to an island or pantry cupboard, and how you can incorporate decorative equipment similar to crown molding and furniture feet.
It feels recent and clean, and an all-white kitchen will certainly wake you up the minute you step in it. You may also have extra fun along with your counter tops and backsplash in an all-white kitchen and choose brighter colours or designs for those.
