Academy Dues Renewal
Citing "The Meaning of Your Membership"—a report highlighting the Academy's mission-critical work in public policy and professionalism this year—Academy President Bob Beuerlein announced this week that it is time to renew your membership for 2018. The Academy Board decided on a small increase for 2018, bringing the full regular dues rate to $635. This will ensure that the Academy's financial position remains strong as we continue to provide the voice of objective, nonpartisan actuarial analysis to policymakers in the United States.
Academy Announces Position Statement on Lifetime Income
The Academy announced a position statement this week in support of policy and educational initiatives to increase retirement income options within employer-sponsored defined contribution (DC) plans.
"Retiring DC plan participants currently have few tools to efficiently manage their account balances for a long and secure retirement," said Academy President-Elect and Chairperson of the Academy's Public Interest Committee Steve Alpert. "Adding lifetime income options to these plans—supported by appropriate laws, regulations, and educational initiatives—will enhance the financial well-being and security of the next generation of retirees. Establishing tools within DC plans that could help plan participants address financial risks like the possibility of outliving their means serves a clear public interest."
Annual Meeting Update—Alberto Mora to Speak at Professionalism Plenary Session
Alberto Mora, senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy and a past winner of the JFK Presidential Library's Profile in Courage Award, will deliver opening remarks during the professionalism plenary session at the Academy's Annual Meeting and Public Policy Forum, Nov. 14–15 in Washington, D.C.
The "Professionalism Under Pressure" plenary will be held on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 14, as part of the annual two-day event. The Academy believes in good faith that your attendance at this professionalism session will give you the opportunity to earn up to 1.8 hours of organized professionalism continuing education credit, and that Enrolled Actuaries attending this session may earn up to 1.8 "core ethics" CPD credits under the JBEA rules.
The Annual Meeting is just around the corner. Register today and plan to join us in Washington this month.
Professionalism Outreach
Academy President Bob Beuerlein delivered a presentation on "Professionalism in Practice" to the Actuaries Club of Philadelphia on Wednesday. The presentation examined how the U.S. professionalism structure housed within the Academy responds to the needs of the public and the profession, and reviewed the resources available to members to help them fulfill their professionalism responsibilities. Beuerlein also reviewed the Academy's public policy activities for the past year for the attendees. Academy Senior Pension Fellow Ted Goldman presented a breakout session on the Academy's Retirement for the AGES initiative the same day.
Committee on Qualifications Chairperson Keith Passwater delivered a professionalism presentation Wednesday to an audience of more than 150 at the Iowa Actuaries Club meeting in Des Moines.

The hit maker was brought in dead on 6th September 2014 for his performance at the Gulder Event, which held at the Ocean View Grounds of Eko Hotel.
The scripted performance was coordinated by Micheal Igbelabo of DNMT (Dance Na The Main Thing) who used 18 choreographers for the rare and bold set.
The stage performance of his hit single yawa dey, began with Burna Boy on the bare ground being revived from a supposed coma. This made the guests go wild in anticipation, as they had absolutely no idea what was coming next or even the fact that it was the singer on the floor.
Few seconds later, Burna springs up, delivering his most energetic and exhilarating performance ever. Absolutely well choreographed, his back up dancers displayed amusing 'Shoki' moves to the amazement of everyone present.
The Dancers delighted the audience with a perfect demonstration of the chaos surrounding the missing cube, they also had placards with the inscription 'where is the cube' written on it.
No better song described the dangers ahead if the ultimate men had failed to retrieve the missing cube than 'Yawa Dey'.
Burna should definitely try some acting sometime, he has got some skills!

I Want You To Notice When I'm Not Around
Game: Rock Band 2
Path: 3/, 2/, 2/sk1, 2/ (anotherD)
Session length: 49:36
Total # of FCs during session: 6
Fun Fact: Initially I wasn't sure whether to sing this one in a high or low octave. While singing low is admittedly more comfortable and far less stressful on my vocal cords, it turns out that I simply don't have enough control when singing in my low range to consistently hit the pitches the game wants on this track. After a few disastrous low octave attempts, I went high and never looked back. So, while my voice may sound weak and reedy on most of this song, hey, it got the job done!
Your Drug Is A Heartbreaker
Song: Say It Ain't So – Weezer
Game: Rock Band 2
Path: 2/FRS, 2/sk1, 2/sk1, 3/AT (anotherD)
Session length: 37:28
Total # of FCs during session: 5
Fun Fact: I used to have a really really REALLY hard time singing this song – don't ask my why. Since it's pretty boring on all the other instruments as well, it's actually NEVER been played on my XBOX 360 console (which I got last June) until now. Fortunately, I've gotten a whole heck of a lot better at octave shifting since my PS3 days, but I still think this track is totally under-tiered on vox!
Spring Is Here Again
You probably noticed that quite a bit of time has gone by since my last post. Well, now it's time for some major catching up! See, what I thought was just a little bug that might take me out of commission for a day or so turned out to be a severe throat/sinus infection. Between the actual illness and the heavy duty antibiotics I was given to fight it, I ended up spending an entire week in a half-comatose feverish haze, pretty much confined to my bed and sofa with short side-trips to the bathroom for an occasional change of scenery. Then, once my throat started feeling better, my allergies kicked in full-force, and I had to wait until after the weekend to ask my doctor whether it was safe to take an antihistamine with all my other meds. Needless to say, I was in no condition to sing or write anything!

In 1943 at the tender age of 17, I joined the U.S. Marine Corps. I was assigned to a radio watch in a small room with two other Marines. Both of them smoked. I went to sick bay and told the Navy doctor that the smoke was making me sick to my stomach. His advice to me was "start smoking and it won't bother you." I did and 50 years later I'm still smoking.
My point is that I'm a retired person and I have a habit that I can't stop. Why should I have to continuously pay more and more taxes on cigarettes? How about a tax on Big Macs--they make you fat. What about a 10-cent tax on ice cream cones that also make you fat? Why not a tax on walking your dog?
Sound ridiculous? Sure it is. So is a new tax on us poor old nicotine heads. We pay a large tax right now. Anymore will take away from my Social Security check and my wife's budget. I never smoke at any place where it might bother someone else. So get off my back with your taxes.

The FAA has once again delayed the new Grand Canyon Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) final rule and commercial air tour routes that were scheduled to go into effect April 1. The agency is reexamining "safety of flight" issues. The new rules would primarily affect commercial air tour operators but also include two flight-free zones over the east end of the national park.
AOPA had successfully objected to parts of the rule that would have imposed greater restrictions on transient GA aircraft crossing the canyon. (See " Grand Canyon overflight rules will have little impact on general aviation, thanks to AOPA.")

Good afternoon lovelies! I have been umming and arring for a while now whether or not to buy some Joules Welly bobs. I have spent many hours looking at their website trying to decide whether I would get my wear out of them or not and today I caved and bought some.
After spending about 20 minutes walking around the shop trying to decide which pattern to get (it was a close call between these, the blue stripey ones or the pink stripey ones, I also liked the Bird print ones but they didn't have those ones in) I finally decided on these navy blue floral ones as I think they go well with dark denim Jeans and from far away also look slightly boot-like. I bought a size 6, the 5's fitted me perfectly with normal socks on, but with welly socks were too tight across the toes so I just went for the size 6 as I think I'm likely to be wearing them with big socks.
Most importantly they are very comfy and soft, especially around the calf's because you don't want anything that would rub or dig in. They were £36.99 and I am very glad I saved up for them now, I laarrvvvesss them!

Here are four prep postseason events to keep your eye on this week:
Girls soccer: Union at Jackson, 6 p.m. Tuesday. The Timberwolves, predictably, enjoyed another strong season, winning 4A Wesco and Northwest District tournament titles and returning to the state tournament. They open tourney play against Union, which has a 13-3-1 record and finished second in the 4A Greater St. Helens League.
Girls soccer: Bonney Lake at Edmonds-Woodway, 7 p.m. Tuesday. The Warriors (12-3-3) finished third in Wesco 3A but won three straight 3A Northwest District tournament games, all shutouts, to clinch a state berth. Edmonds-Woodway has won seven straight contests, allowing just one goal in that stretch. It opens state-tournament play against Bonney Lake, which is 14-2-0 and finished second in the 3A Pierce County League.
Girls swimming and diving: State meets, Friday and Saturday, King County Aquatic Center, Federal Way. Local swimmers and divers will be striving for top finishes at the final meet of the season. Individuals to watch include Kamiak's Elli Straume, Oak Harbor's Olivia Tungate and Archbishop Murphy's Caroline Kowalchuk.
Volleyball: 3A/4A state tournaments, Friday and Saturday, Toyota Center, Kennewick. Four Snohomish County teams will be in action — Lake Stevens, Jackson, Stanwood and Snohomish. Will the 16-0 Vikings be able to continue their unbeaten season? They open tourney play against Graham-Kapowsin, but their side of the bracket also includes defending champion Auburn Riverside, Puyallup and West Valley (Yakima). Not an easy draw.

I have forgotten how nice Budapest can be but had the best reminder last evening. We had a stroll downtown with my hubby.
We took the first corner on the right after that i just couldn't tell if I was still in BP or Paris. We came across a place I have forgotten about a long time before. Lovely and elegant Café Gerlóczy in a quite French style little square absolutely in the city. There is a fantastic and elegant hotel above the Café too which has perfect reviews on Trip advisor.
The old building is beautifully renovated and the rooms are elegant and spotless. Firm mattresses, mini bar, and TV. (...) The location is good with easy walks to the Pest waterfront, market, main pedestrian street, city sights, and restaurants. The cafe downstairs has a wonderful ambiance, delicious fare and you can sit outside in the shade of the big tree out front. Cafe G is a small, green, welcoming oasis in the midst of the city. Breakfast omelets and fruit drinks are good! We highly recommend Café Gerlóczy!
{Home and Away}
They also have a simple (in a good way) and fantastic lunch menu, which we will definitely will be trying in the near future.Here is a nice sample:
Cauliflower cream soup with chives and pepper flavoured crouton
Wild mushroom cream soup with crouton
Beef meat balls with sesame and spicy cream
Main Courses
Pork mignons with bacon & cabbage
Chicken leg with tomato-pesto flavoured gnocchi
Marrow vegetable dish with minced nut
Panna Cotta Guava -Green tea sause
Fruit sorbet with cacao
Plum tart with cinnamon sauce
{We love Budapest}

Mitcham is the only public girls' school in South Australia. it is unzoned, enabling students to enrol regardless of where they live. It is situated ony six kilometres from the heart of the city and is easily accessible by public transport.
If you are interested in viewing the school you are invited to attend our Open Day, held in May each year.
Principal Tours are also held on a regular basis and dates are listed on our school calendar. If you wish to take part in a tour please book a place by phoning the school on 8272 8233.
As Mitcham Girls High is a public school, the Year 7 to 8 transition process is managed through the Department for Education and Child Development (DECD). Parents should be aware that, due to the information being processed at a state-wide level, the process is a lengthy one.
At the end of Term 1, all Year 7 government students will receive an Enrolment Package from their primary school. This Enrolment Package will include a Registration of Interest (ED176). Government students need to complete and return this form to their primary school by the end of Week 3, Term 2. Non-government students who wish to attend a government high school will also need to complete the Registration of Interest. For these students, the form must be returned to DECD.
For enrolment at Mitcham Girls High School, parents need to indicate on their Registration of Interest that their daughter does not wish to attend her zoned high school. If a parent indicates Mitcham Girls High School on the form, as the student's Choice 1 School, then she will be automatically assigned to attend Mitcham Girls. No supporting evidence is necessary as Mitcham Girls is not a zoned school and, being the only single sex school in the State, it aims at accepting all Year 8 students who believe they will benefit from a single sex environment.
We will send an acceptance pack to all students who have applied to come to Mitcham Girls High School by the end of Week 4, Term 3. The Mitcham Girls High School acceptance pack includes our school enrolment forms. These forms must be completed and returned directly to the school as soon as possible. Prompt return of the forms will guarantee your daughter's place and give her a greater chance of receiving her first preference choice subjects.
Mitcham Girls High School holds a Transition Day for future Year 8 students. You will be advised of the date in your acceptance pack and through further correspondence.
For further information on the general process visit the Deparment for Education website or phone Mitcham Girls High School.
Enrolment at Mitcham Girls for Years 9, 10, 11 and 12 is dependent on student numbers and subject availability.
Interested parents will need to phone the school to express their interest or complete the Expression of Interest to Enrol form and once completed email to email@example.com. The enrolling parent will then be contacted within a few days by a school counsellor. Prospective students are expected to attend an interview with their parents.

Hi all,
I just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself and my brand new blog. I am in my mid 20's and I love makeup. I am by no means an expert or makeup guru of any kind, although I love watching them on YT! I am just a girl who loves makeup and beauty products. YT is where I have learned a lot about makeup. I decided to start this blog to talk about beauty related things and to share information with you. This blog will probably start out slow as I am a full time teacher and that really does take up most of my time. I will try to keep this blog updated and please leave a comment and let me know if you have any ideas for fun blog posts! Thanks for taking time to stop by and keep checking for new posts :)

Foundation / Corporation
Nuckolls Fund for Lighting Education
Grant of up to $20,000 over multiple years to a USA, Canada, or International educator at a North American IHE for the inclusion of a lighting design component to an existing curriculum. Funding is intended for programs in architecture, engineering, technology, and interior design. These IHE programs should have either minimal or no lighting design offerings in their curricula now, but have a strong interest in adding them.
The program may currently have a portion of a course that touches on the lighting field, but the material is minimal or recognized by the program as being inadequate for today's graduates. There must be available, however, a faculty member with a basic knowledge and understanding of lighting. The Fund is not able to help a program without faculty knowledge to start from ground zero in developing lighting courses.
The goal of this grant is to have a new, viable, and sustained lighting fundamentals course established and on-going in an existing program, and enhance lighting education in the unit.
GrantWatch ID#: 142512
The award is $20,000, but the Fund reserves the right to award an amount less than $20,000. The Nuckolls Fund will allocate the money at a maximum of $5,000 per year during the grant period.
The award will be allocated over four years.
Proposals are accepted only from educators at academic institutions in North America.
Course Requirements:
- New course(s) that cover lighting in the fields listed below will be considered. Evidence should be included of how the proposed course(s) will enrich, enhance and integrate with the existing academic program in which it is placed. A proposed course outline must be included, and instructor credentials shown. It is required that the author of the proposal be the instructor or on the course instruction team.
- The academic unit should be in one of the following areas: Architecture, Engineering, Technology or Interior Design. It must have academic accreditation in its field. It must be accredited and offer a Bachelor's degree or Graduate degree.
- The proposed course(s) must be given at least twice during four sequential academic years.
- The Fund requires evidence from at least two academic administrators (Chairs, Directors, Deans etc.) that the administration will support the continuation of the course after the grant period ends.
- In the event that the original instructor(s) leaves the Institution, the Fund reserves the right to request evidence of knowledge and interest in lighting from the new instructor(s) for continuation of grant funding. In that event, the Fund would also require that an academic administrator designate a new contact person for the required reports.
- Evidence that the proposed instructor(s) is knowledgeable and active in lighting is important. This may be shown by a resume or CV indicating lighting content in previous courses given or taken, activity in IESNA or IALD, lighting workshops attended, and so on.
- The Fund is interested in introductory courses that cover a broad range of basic lighting as applied in your field of study. A narrow specific course, such as a course in only daylighting or only computer applications, will not be given consideration. Narrow focus courses are covered in the other Nuckolls Fund RFP for institutions that have existing basic lighting courses.
- The course should be a minimum of 3 semester credits or 4 quarter credits, and must be given at least twice during the grant period. At least eight students should complete the course each time it is given (evidence must be shown that this condition is met for continued funding). Courses which are required are preferred to ones which are elective, but this is not a requirement. Interdisciplinary courses are always of interest.
- Up to $2,000 per year of the Fund award may be used to purchase lighting-related equipment for the course.
- No portion of the funds awarded may be used for indirect costs (overhead). Benefits are allowable.
Applications are due February 9, 2018. Receipt of submissions will be acknowledged via email. Notification will be no later than April 11, 2018.
In-kind donations of equipment from lighting manufacturers are encouraged.

Toys For Wargaming - CoD Megabloks Horseback Assault
This is a set that I held off on getting because I felt that it was ludicrously overpriced. I know, I know, even Mega Bloks has to pay those licensing fees somehow. But seriously, it was one horse, one figures, some weapons, and a sandbag. Not a $10 investment for me. Especially considering I have zero interest in the Call of Duty franchise.
But apparently a mere $3 markdown will convince me otherwise. I guess it sort of reminds me of Big Boss from The Phantom Pain. Yeah, I'll go with that. Anyway, the wife got the horse, Junior Fett got the figure and the missile launcher (he wanted it pretty bad, and I have a few from the CLAW sets I bought), so I ended up with the revolver and the scenery.
Welp, it's a pretty cool revolver, I guess. I'll use the scenery for some skirmish wargame or other, I'm sure. I tend to throw those together with 'whatever terrain looking pieces I have in my drawer,' and this certainly qualifies.

Sea Bream / Dorade / Orata
"Dorade Royale" (DE, USA, CAN), "Daurade Royale" (FR), "Orata" (IT), "Dorada" (ES),
"Dourada" (PT), "Goldbrasse" (DE), "Tsipoura" (GR)
In Ancient Greece Sea Bream or "Orata", "Dorada" (meaning "Golden" in Italian and Spanish due to the golden colors between the eyes) was devoted to Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, as it was considered to be the most attractive and tastiest fish.
Its scientific name is Sparus aurata and it belongs to the Sparidae family. According to scientific literature, Sea Bream can reach a length of 70 cm and a weight of 12 to 15 kilos! However, the most common weight in the Mediterranean is from 800 grams to 4-5 kilograms. Sea Bream can live up to approximately 10-11 years.
Sea Bream is a wide-ranging benthic species - that is, a fish that is met both in brackish as well as in salty waters and lives near the sea floor. It prefers sandy or muddy seabeds and seaweed beds; however, it can usually be found at a depth of up to 30 m., though the larger fish of the species usually move deeper (up to 150 m. depth). Its color is silver and its head in front and above its eyes is decorated with a bright golden arc that looks like a brow; hence, the names "gilthead", "Dorade", "Daurade", "Orata" and "Dorada".
It is spread all over the Mediterranean, in the Black Sea and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean from the British shores to Gibraltar and the Canary Islands. It is a carnivorous species, but also consumes vegetable matter as a consequence of its benthic diet. It commonly feeds on mollusks, mussels, and shellfish.
Sea Bream is consumed fresh, grilled, fried, boiled, or even steamed. Since antiquity it is considered to be one of the tastiest fish and a delectable dish.
Selonda fresh Greek Sea Bream received a 2017 Superior Taste Award with 3 golden stars, which corresponds to an exceptional taste, the highest possible score, the first and only Greek Sea Bream to receive the highest rating.
Available sizes of whole, round Selonda fresh Greek Sea Bream ("Orata" / "Dorade Royale" / "Dorada")

Online Degree Programs
When deciding whether or not to enroll in an online learning program, it is important to understand how they work. Prospective students may want to consider course formats, course scheduling, virtual classroom environment, class participation options, technology requirements, and their personal learning style.
Distance learning degrees are available through traditional two-year community colleges, four-year universities, and private online schools. Learn about course formats, scheduling options, the virtual classroom environment, class participation requirements, technological necessities, and learning style considerations.
Course Formats
There are a wide variety of fully online programs, although some schools utilize a hybrid format, which combines online and campus-based classes. Hybrid learning is more common for majors that require hands-on training, such as engineering or allied health fields.
Scheduling options differ between courses. The more traditionally scheduled class assigns and requires students to complete regular assignments and tests by certain dates throughout the semester. A self-paced course allows students to work at whatever pace they may wish, for as long as necessary to complete the course. Many classes fall somewhere in between these two formats and require students to have all work submitted by a particular date at the end of the semester.
Virtual Classroom
Most online classes are presented via a website that integrates forums, an instant messenger, e-mail, and streaming audio and video. Programs also offer testing and real-time assignment review capabilities to create an online classroom environment for students. This virtual classroom makes it easy for students to view class calendars or informational posts as well as the lectures and assignments that teachers have posted, which can include video, audio, or text files.
Find schools that offer these popular programs
- Agriculture
- Architecture
- Biological and Biomedical Sciences
- Business
- Communications and Journalism
- Computer Sciences
- Culinary Arts and Personal Services
- Education
- Engineering
- Legal
- Liberal Arts and Humanities
- Mechanic and Repair Technologies
- Medical and Health Professions
- Physical Sciences
- Psychology
- Transportation and Distribution
- Visual and Performing Arts
Class Participation
There are a variety of ways in which student can communicate with instructors and other classmates in an online classroom environment. These include email, instant messaging, video chatting, audio conferencing, and message boards.
Because online degrees are not set in a physical classroom, students are required to show some sort of participation, either by posting a certain number of times on the class discussion boards or by completing assignments with other students. In hybrid classes, this requirement may be waived, as students must show up for a physical class on certain days throughout the semester. In continuing education programs or degree programs for working adults, this participation requirement may be less stringent.
Tech Requirements
Schools with online programs usually have specific tech requirements regarding what kind of computer, Internet connection, and software distance learners must have. In general, students usually need to have a computer with the following features:
- A recent Windows, Mac, or Linux operating system
- High-speed internet access
- A minimum amount of memory
- Office software
- Antivirus software
- Speakers or headphones
- Microphone
- CD/DVD drive
In addition, certain programs could require students to purchase equipment and supplies that traditional students have access to on campus. For example, online graphic design programs might require participants to have their own cameras, editing software, color printers, and scanners. Some schools do have affiliations with corporations to help online students get needed software at a discount.
Learning Style Considerations
Prospective distance learners should make sure their learning style is conducive to the independent initiative that is necessary for the success in online programs. While instructors often provide feedback and have set due dates for work, students must be motivated to complete readings and projects without the benefit of in-person assistance. A basic level of proficiency in using the internet and computer applications is necessary, as are solid reading and writing skills. There are a variety of factors for prospective students to consider when deciding whether to enroll in an online distance program, from their personal learning style to the format of the course.

text: For months, Isaiah has wanted to cruise the parking lots on 2-wheels like the big boys. We've attempted to take the training wheels off his bike, but he couldn't get past the fear factor. Then today I noticed that Isaiah was balancing really well on the neighbor boy's scooter. He was even turning corners without putting his feet down. Jon decided to help him try once more, and this time Isaiah held his balance on the first attempt. Yeah! That scooter was the perfect stepping stone to 2-wheel independence!

Itzamna's Cocoa
Great Ayton, North Yorkshire
Now available !
Beautifully crafted wedding favour chocolates.
Our Story
Having been passionate about working with chocolate since I was 18, now 25, I have finally reached the stage where I can start my own business, making and selling handmade chocolates from our kitchen in the North Yorkshire Moors.
Sourcing high quality chocolate from Belgium and Switzerland, this is then melted down, tempered and moulded. The ganaches are made from scratch, using fresh cream and piped into the moulded chocolates. These then are sealed and sent to you freshly made.
The name was suggested to me by family, knowing I was struggling to come up with one. Having checked up on it I found that Itzamna was one of the gods of the Mayan Pantheon and he had instructed humans in the proper cultivation of cocoa and maize. This made the name tie in with other interests of mine, mythology and history and I couldn't say no, despite how often I have to explain where it comes from.
I try samples from as many different chocolate providers as I could and chose the best ones possible for my products ensuring the highest quality products.
You can find us at the following Farmer's Markets
- Hartlepool Farmers Market on the second Saturday of each month
- Wynyard Hall Farmers Market every third sunday of the month
- Stewart Park Farmer Market on the last Sunday of the month
If you are in the area it would be great to see you and you can even try some free samples!

The Words — Cautiously Optimistic
When the blood tests were completed I saw on of the nurse practitioners that takes care of me. Julie told me that we could be cautiously optimistic that I was in remission based upon the blood test.
The significance of that was overwhelming since I hadn't heard the word remission since my third recurrence was diagnosed in December of 2006. This was a day to celebrate what God had done for me!
I was also cautioned that, while my blood tests indicated the wonderful news, we needed to wait for the next set of PET and CT scans to be done to confirm everything. This was to give me higher confidence in the facts because I had been diagnosed with PET and CT scans.
The waiting game was on for another three months when I would have the all important blood test, PET and CT scans to verify my new status. I was very excited!

It's no secret that a new Toyota HiLux is headed to this market. Already near unassailable as top-dog in the segment, the new HiLux is going to add even more heat to the red-hot light-commercial ute market.
But LCV buyers are now a different breed. Even 'tradies' are looking for conventional comforts in their workhorse vehicles, and for many, the twin-cab ute doubles as a family workhorse.
There are also the family buyers; those who once may have bought a large sedan or wagon, but who now buy an equally large four-door, but with a ute tub in the back. They buy them for their practicality, 'get away from it all' capability, and SUV-type driving position.
All of this is well known to Toyota Australia, who understands the segment better than most.
It's the recognition of the family buyer that sees the inclusion in the new HiLux double-cabs of two top-tether anchors and ISOFIX child-seat attachment points for the rear seat .
The new model for Australia is coming with what Toyota describes as an "SUV-like cabin (with) a more comfortable driving position, increased front head and shoulder room, an expanded range for seat-height adjustment, and tilt-and-telescopic steering".
Entry-level WorkMate variants will come with black fabric seat trim instead of vinyl, while SR and SR5 models feature carpeted floors and higher-grade trim materials. (A power-operated front driver's seat is also available as part of the 'leather-accented' package, a cost option on SR5 turbo-diesel 4x4 double-cabs.)
The rear seat in double-cab SR and SR5 variants split-folds 60/40 with a stowable armrest; these variants also come with an air-conditioned box capable of heating or cooling two 600ml bottles.
Every HiLux 4x4 comes with an electronic transfer-case, operated via rotary dial, and SR and SR5 models come equipped with a rear differential-lock.
Expanded Feature List
Interior features across the range include air-conditioning, cruise control, headlamp levelling, 12-volt accessory socket, intermittent wipers, a centre console box and power operated windows, mirrors and door locks.
As earlier images have shown, there will also be a tablet-style touchscreen central to the dash, a multi-function steering wheel, and smartphone connect with voice recognition.
The double cab SR5 variants get a seven-inch touchscreen (up from 6.1-inch) and 'Toyota Link connected mobility', Pandora, DAB digital audio and satellite navigation (and access to 'Destination Assist' to connect to an operator for navigation assistance).
SR5 models also get a 4.2-inch full-colour display on the instrument panel in front of the driver, keyless entry and start as well as a 220V connector (for a camping refrigerator) and a second 12V socket.
Standard-Fit Reverse Camera
Importantly, and recognition that many of these cars are used as 'the family car', all utes - twin-cab and single cab - come with a reverse camera as standard. (An accessory camera is available for cab-chassis buyers.)
This is key safety feature for vehicles of this type - one, we think, should be mandated given the incidence of death and injury to toddlers and young children in driveways.
Seat-belt reminders are also fitted standard to front seats in all variants and for rear seats on double cabs. Other safety features include seven airbags, stability and traction control, anti-skid brakes and an emergency stop signal.
On Sale October
The next-gen HiLux range goes on sale in Australia from early October. There will be a choice of no less than 31 variants, two new turbo-diesel engines, two petrol engines, three transmissions, 4x2 and 4x4 drive, three body styles and three equipment levels,
Toyota Australia's executive director, sales and marketing, Tony Cramb, said, "Even workers in tough industries like mining, building and farming want the space, ergonomics, technology and ride comfort of the new HiLux interiors - and so do their families."
With the new Ranger just weeks away, and with improved new-generation Triton and Navara now on sale, the arrival of the new HiLux will really set the LCV market alight.
The winners, with such competition in this booming sector, will be buyers.

So EGN has gone the way of ECTS and Game Stars Live into a state of games show torpor. So what's left for the UK games jobber who's looking for an opportunity to schmooze with their fellow geeks?
First up to bat is the Women in Games 2005 conference on the 8th, 9th and 10th of August at the University of Aberay in Dundee. They have some interesting keynote speakers, and an overall theme that's definately of interest, but I'll be waiting to see what sort of talks and workshops will be on offer before I book that particular trip.
Next is the EIEF on the 11th and 12th of the same month, which sounds like it's styling itself as the logical alternative to EGN & GS Live. Not that this is a bad thing, and some of the elements of the announced conference programme definately pique my interest.
Finally (it seems), there is GDCE, seemingly at a new location, between30th August and 1st Sepember. This is the last bastion of the traditional UK summer games conferences, and I'll be interested to see what they've got planned when their info goes live on 6th June.
I'll admit to ignorance of any other similar events on continental Europe, but even so, these three have a good deal to prove in their role as leading lights of the UK games development calendar.

This is my amazing friend Bridget. And yes, she is a NASA Barbie for Halloween. Bridget recently got a new job which will move her away from us here in Chicago and all the way to Vegas. As much as I will miss her, I'm glad I have an excuse to go to Vegas now. Last night we went out to have martinis and food. We danced and laughed a lot. But the scene stealer of the night was; 1.) animal messenger cards, like tarot...amazing. and b.) Keith and my checkerboard she asked for.
This is the checker board. We cut a sponge to fit 8 across and 8 down. Next I mixed some blue and white paint to make a more appealing color.
Keith working on the details. He's a whiz with the puffy paint, one time he made a barfing unicorn for a shirt. Amazing right?
Final product without the pieces. This game she wanted Chunk vs. Mama Fratelli. So Keith made it treasury mapping, and added some awesome decorations and details. way to go keith!
Bridget pulled it out at everywhere we went. Three places total. Here is her first game on it with Keith. The pieces are bottlecaps.
How much she loves this game! Look at her expression!!!!
This was actually really fun to make. If you are interested in having a checkerboard made, any two people against each other, please send us an email email@example.com


text: CHICAGO (AP) -- Baby shampoos, lotions and powders may expose infants to chemicals that have been linked with possible reproductive problems, a small study suggests. The chemicals, called phthalates, are found in many ordinary products including cosmetics, toys, vinyl flooring and medical supplies. They are used to stabilize fragrances and make plastics flexible. In the study, they were found in elevated levels in the urine of babies who'd been recently shampooed, powdered or lotioned with baby products. Phthalates (pronounced thowl-ates) are under attack by some environmental advocacy groups, but experts are uncertain what dangers, if any, they might pose. The federal government doesn't limit their use, although California and some countries have restricted their use. Animal studies have suggested that phthalates can cause reproductive birth defects and some activists believe they may cause reproductive problems in boys and early puberty in girls. The study's lead author, Dr. Sheela Sathyanarayana, a University of Washington pediatrician, said, "The bottom line is that these chemicals likely do exist in products that we're commonly using on our children and they potentially could cause health effects." The new study, which appears in February's issue of the journal Pediatrics, involved 163 babies. Most were white, ages 2 to 28 months, and living in California, Minnesota and Missouri.

The 29-year-old striker scored 16 goals for Poland in the World Cup qualifiers, rpeorts Efe.
Lewandowski on Tuesday opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a shot from inside the box after Maciej Rybus redirected David Kownacki's cross.
The Bayern Munich star made it 2-0 in the 33rd minute with a powerful free kick that grazed the cross-bar before crossing the line, as subsequently confirmed by VAR.
Though Lewandowski was substituted at the start of the second half, Poland remained on the hunt for goals.
Kownacki made it 3-0 in the 71st minutes and Jakub Blaszczykowski contributed a fourth in the 82nd, converting from the spot on a penalty.
Poland are drawn in Group H at the World Cup, with Colombia, Senegal, and Japan.

Here is a summary of material about the connection between the pterosaur propatagium and the bird propatagium. The pterosaur propatagium developed into the bird propatagium.
"The pterosaur wing membrane is divided into three basic units. The first, called the propatagium ("first membrane"), was the forward-most part of the wing and attached between the wrist and shoulder, creating the "leading edge" during flight."
"The [bird] propatagium is variably deployed, relative to elbow extension, in flight; support for its cambered shape is maintained by multilayered collagenous and elastic tissue networks suspended between leading edge and dorsal antebrachium."
The elbow is set back from the leading edge and the bend in the arm is hidden by the Propatagium, a fold of skin inside the front part of the wing which connects to the shoulder and the wrist."
Through flight experiments with live birds and computer modeling we define the aerodynamic contributions of the propatagium in avian flight.
We conclude that the cambered propatagium is the major lift generating component of the wing proximal to the wrist.
This possibly advanced shoulder anatomy, combined with the presence of a propatagium linking the wrist to the shoulder (which fills the space in front of the flexed wing and may support the wing against drag in modern birds) and an alula or "bastard wing" may indicate that Microraptor was capable of true, powered flight.[13]
a. A slightly arched surface, as of a road, a ship's deck, an airfoil, or a snow ski.b. The condition of having an arched surface.
Note that the word "patagium is used in two different ways.
In the flying pterosaurs, the patagium is also composed of the skin forming the surface of the wing. In these ornithodirans, the skin was extended to the tip of the elongated fourth finger of each hand.
The patagium of a pterosaur had three distinct parts:
Propatagium: the patagium present from the shoulder to the wrist
Brachiopatagium: the portion stretching from the fourth finger to the hindlimbs.
Uropatagium or cruropatagium: the anterior portion between the two hindlimbs, depending on whether it did or did not include the tail
In birds, the propatagium is the elastic fold of skin extending from the shoulder] to the carpal joint, making up the leading edge of the inner wing. Many authors use the term to describe the fold of skin between the body (behind the shoulder) and the elbow that houses the outer segments of the latissimus dorsi caudalis and triceps scapularis muscles.[1] Similarly the fleshy pad that houses the follicles of the remiges (primary and secondary feathers) caudal to the hand and the ulna is also often referred to as a patagium.[2] The interremigial ligament that connects the bases all the primary and secondary feathers as it passes from the tip of the hand to the elbow is thought to represent the caudal edge of the ancestral form of this patagium.https://bio.unc.edu/files/2011/04/FeducciaCzerkas2015.pdf
The importance of a propatagium to the evolution of the avian wing is significant, as it has no apparent function other than contributing to the aerodynamics of the animal. Therefore, its presence in flightless forms lends support to the neoflightless hypothesis (Olshevsky 1992; Paul 2002; Feduccia 2012). The discovery of a propatagium in members of all clades of core maniraptorans, including Caudipteryx (oviraptorosaurs), Microraptor (dromaeosaurs), Anchiornis (a putative troodontid; Chatterjee and Templin 2012), Archaeopteryx (a basal urvogel; Martin and Lim 2005), and the basal avian Scansoriopteryx (Czerkas and Feduccia 2014), is additional evidence that flight was basal in Aves. Similarly, four-winged tetrapteryx wings can best be interpreted in a flight context.

How easily something so small and seemingly innocent can rock your world and bring up all your self doubt. How easily a bunch of little things fall into place and completely screw with your head. How easily new found confidence gets shattered.
I need to regroup. I need to get my head back in the right place. I need to get rid of things that bring me down. I owe this to me. I deserve this. I'm better than this. Bring on a good night's sleep and a clear mind.

Hi All there...
When user requests to see any record as the default value, ie even if any value is selected/ not selected in the prompt.
To display the column at the top always-
If the records are limited then you can use case statements in a separate column and sort them to show the first record at the top, else you need to go for sort column in the BMM layer RPD.
I used case statement and hidden it.
In the dashboard prompt you need to specify the presentation variable name. So that the variable value is also passed to the report. In 10g only one value can be passed, but in 11g you have the option to pass multiple values to the report through the presentation variable.
In the report criteria, you need to specify the filter values as
column_name equal to presentation variable
or equal to the Default value (in my case its Type 4).
Now pull both the prompt and report.
By default the report shows Type 4 value as the presentation variable value is not passed.
Now when we click on the prompt value then Type 4 as well as value selected appears.
There can also be various other ways. Explore them and post them...

DUBAI (MarketWatch) -- Dubai doesn't do small.
The world's tallest tower, largest mall, longest bridge -- it has them all, or will soon. The new airport complex, under construction about 40 kilometers (25 miles) southwest of old Dubai, is no exception.
At 140 square kilometers (54 square miles), the land set aside by former Dubai ruler Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum 30 years ago for the visionary $33 billion urban aviation project is almost twice the size of the island of Hong Kong. The heart of this new city, known as Dubai World Central, will be the Al Maktoum International airport. Upon completion, it will be the world's largest airport, bigger than London's Heathrow and Chicago's O'Hare combined.
"It's not just an airport, it's a whole new concept," Abdulla Ahmed Al Qurashi, the head of DWC's aviation division, told MarketWatch in an interview.
The sheer dimensions of the $10 billion Al Maktoum airport are difficult to convey. It will have two huge terminals, six concourses, six parallel runways and a smaller terminal for low-cost and regional airlines. The terminals and concourses will be linked by a light railway system.
To give potential partners and investors an idea of what the new airport, and the whole city around it, will look like, DWC has built large models of the project at its headquarters. They are neat and orderly, all perpendicular streets lined with palm trees and pastel-toned buildings. At Al Maktoum, the lights are flashing on the runways and miniature helicopters are on standby on a dozen helipads. The planes are barely an inch long on a model several meters wide.
The airport will eventually have an annual capacity of about 120 million passengers and 12 million tons of cargo. London's Heathrow airport, the world's busiest international airport, handles about 68 million passengers annually. Memphis and Hong Kong, the world's top cargo hubs, deal with about 4.5 million tons of cargo each year.
Although operations won't be in full swing at Al Maktoum until 2015, parts of the project are already well underway. The first runway, aerial control tower and fuel tanks are finished and the first passenger flight is expected next year. A low-cost terminal that will be home to Dubai's new budget carrier should be ready in the third quarter of 2009.
The new airport, executives say, is essential for Dubai to deal with a predicted surge in air travel.
The International Air Transport Association sees average passenger growth in the Middle East of 6.8% a year until 2011. European aircraft maker Airbus, meanwhile, predicts that passenger traffic in the region will increase by 8.1% a year until 2016, compared with a global average growth of 5.4%.
At its heart though, DWC is much more than an aviation project.
It will "not only impact future airports around the world, but also regional economic development," DWC Executive Chairman Khalifa Al Zaffin told the audience of the Future Airports Congress in Dubai in early June.
Industry analysts agreed the region approaches its airports differently.
"The development and financing of airports in the Gulf does not follow the same pattern as airports in the rest of the world. In Dubai for instance we're talking about a wider economic development plan of which the airport is an essential part," said Christopher Preece, managing director of U.K.-based Falcon Consultancy.
Many firms involved
At Al Maktoum, the opportunity for airport infrastructure and equipment specialists is enormous.
While the runway was built by the UAE's Al Naboodah, international contractors are heavily represented. The first terminal, which will cater to 7 million passengers, is the responsibility of a joint venture between the UAE's Arabtec and Germany's Max Bogl, while France's Thales (012132) and the U.K.'s Park Air Systems are providing the navigational aids package. U.S.-based Raytheon Co. RTN, -1.03% has been selected for the instrument landing system.
A visit to the site reveals construction continuing at an unabated pace. Roughly 20,000 workers are toiling by 100-degree heat under the leadership of 600 engineers to transform tasteful models into reality. The scale of the job hits with one 360-look at the site. In every direction, as far as the eye can see: sand, rocks, pits and dunes.
The issues confronting workers, planners and engineers are as exotic as the climate: The runway must be fenced to prevent camels and antelope from crossing it at night. An indigenous Ghaf tree, which has stood undisturbed in the middle of the desert for 200 years, now finds itself in the middle of a construction site. Its longevity is such a rare occurrence in this harsh climate that it's been uprooted and moved to a conservation park. Desert wildlife, consisting mainly of birds, snakes and rabbits, must be relocated.
The desert landscape also means a special chemical will have to be sprayed onto the sand to prevent it from scattering and hampering visibility on takeoff and landing.
Around the airport, five more developments are planned. Residential City and Golf City will house the bulk of the 900,000 people expected to live and work at DWC while Commercial City, roughly the size of Manhattan, will be home to various firms and businesses and likely become the financial center of the development.
Logistics City will take advantage of its proximity to the existing Jebel Ali port and free zone, making sea to air connectivity achievable in less than 4 hours.
Although construction is just starting on Logistics City, Al Qurashi said international firms are already jostling to reserve lots to build warehouses. Nearly 50, including Swiss logistics giant Panalpina (003251336) PLWTF, +44.07% have already signed contracts and 150 have reserved land.
Eventually, most firms with operations at the current Jebel Ali free zone will relocate to Logistics City. The list of current tenants of the free zone reads like a who's who of the manufacturing world and includes Acer, Daimler DAI, -0.30% (710000), Volvo (VOLVB), SAP SAP, -2.28% (716460) and Siemens (723610) SI, +0.00%
Other airports getting a face lift
Although Al Maktoum will dwarf other airports in the region, many are expanding their facilities and undergoing facelifts. Dubai neighbor Abu Dhabi plans a revamp that will increase its airport's capacity to 40 million passengers a year. Meanwhile, Qatar's Doha International Airport will be able to handle 50 million passengers in 2020.
Ultimately, some industry experts said, most of the United Arab Emirates' airports could be linked. There are already plans for a light rail to link DWC and the existing Dubai International Airport.
"At the beginning there's always lots of competition, but I think at the end we will have one main UAE airline and one main airport," said Diogenis Papiomytis, consultant in the aerospace and defense practice of Frost & Sullivan.

Blogging frustrations... ...already
So, I was at work this evening. The person I was doing a 1:1 with had fallen asleep and I decided that I would take a break from trying to read thru the Priesthood Session of General Conference by try to blog on my PSP. PSPs are notoriously horrible for entering text because it's input format is set up like a phone keypad and it doesn't anticipate what you're trying to type so you end up pushing about 20 some odd buttons just to get one word out! Okay, so the thing is, my blogspot page opened on my PSP and I started to enter text and when I was done I tried to submit it but it wouldn't submit or allow me to save. Needless to say, I had just wasted 30 minutes trying to post something, the same size as this, to no avail. Lesson learned. Only blog with normal computers. The end.

What Everyone Else Does When It Comes to How to Turn off Samsung's Galaxy Notifications and What You Should Do Different
If you have the proper type of Samsung TV from 2012 or 2013, you could also utilize DLNA sharing qualities to swap content between your phone and TV. Another is wanting to carry on watching your show even if you leave the room to do something different. You are also going to be in a position to magnify calendar events and find a better look in speed dial.
The problem might occur due to a corrupted micro SD card. Reinstall the crucial apps to determine if the problems is fixed. Hence, should you decide to play them again, zero worries of starting from scratch. There's a chance an app is causing this Galaxy S5 screen issue. But sometimes you may just want more. If it happens it happens, it is possible to never change everything back. The two of these do work so utilize them when you're out of home and will need to save on the battery as much as you are able to.
As with every one of the above mentioned examples, check the notifications drawer to determine whether there is a Power Saving mode quick setting. The Ultra power saving mode, on the flip side, is made to be enabled at the exact critical times if you need to conserve every drop of the battery juice. The entire point of utilizing a phone is so we can be joined to the world and be reached by other people. For that reason, it's highly advised to remove it after you locate the existence of this Trojan. This procedure is called syncing. Quit dreaming that you may control this programs.
Just don't neglect to turn it off when you contact your phone charger. If you're a Samsung Galaxy S5 operator, however, there are a couple things you can do in order to greatly enhance your phone's battery life. So if you don't know what things to search for, the phone comes from the box to eventually stop push notifications. There are lots of apps running in the background even if you don't utilize them. Fortunately, it is not really hard to shut off Galaxy Apps notifications.
In case the screen doesn't arrive back, then eliminate the rear cover and take out the battery. There's also an individual Swype keyboard it is possible to use instead. In that circumstance, your computer will be in a mess and assorted problems will begin to annoy you. If you're suffering from sluggish device, consider uninstalling unused apps. This mode brings your device to a grayscale theme together with limiting the amount of apps you'll be able to use. This is extremely cool and extremely helpful for finding and toggling settings. It's simpler to allow location when you're using any such apps.
Just like eye-tracking, you will have to wait a half-second to observe effects. This easy Android tip may help you solve some battery and heating difficulties. If you've got Bluetooth pairing, it's going kick in the car's Bluetooth should you answer that manner. Look at turning it off otherwise to raise the battery life. Locate all our Galaxy S9 hints and tricks here. Take my favourite new interface add-on, for example. A virus at this time with hesitance.
