Okay, so the economy can't make up its mind. Unemployment goes down… and then up.
The financial market goes up… and then down. Facebook's stock starts high… and ends low.
Anybody starting to feel sick from the rollercoaster ride our economic recovery is on?
I am!
Now, during times like these, I realize the LAST thing you want to hear is you could be making mistakes that could hurt your career.
But alas, uncertain times cause errors in judgement.
Career Mistakes To Avoid At All Costs
Here are three things I'm telling all my CareerHMO members these days:
Mistake 1 – Staying in a job you hate.
Not bothering to look for a new, better job when you hate the one you are in is a recipe for disaster. Here's why…
While you think you are a pro at hiding your distaste for your _________ (insert manager, co-worker, project, client, etc.), the reality is people can tell. And, should your company decide it needs to do some "restructuring" to increase profits and stability, the first people they look to let go are the ones that don't seem to really want to be there.
Trust me, you are not an academy award-winning actor. Otherwise, you'd be in Hollywood right now and not in a job you hate! Moreover, when we aren't engaged in our jobs we make mistakes – and even the little ones add up.
So, if you are unhappy, make a plan and commit to getting out. And don't stop looking until you find the right thing. Make a move now, or risk having the move made for you.
Mistake #2 – Thinking you are too busy to develop a personal brand.
I'm amazed at how many people aren't taking the concept of personal branding seriously. Trust me when I say there are no "employees" any more. We are all "businesses of one" – and that means we need to build strong brands.
I especially cringe when someone who is currently working says, "I don't need to do that stuff because I have a job." You don't have a job – you have one client, and that client could drop you tomorrow. Then how will you pay the bills? Personal branding is something we all need to do, regardless of our career situation.
It's not who you know… it's who knows YOU.
Ask anyone who has been out of work for six months or more and they'll tell you how important it is to have a strong personal brand. Personal branding takes time. So, while I'm not suggesting you spend five hours a day on it, I do suggest you build and commit to a scheduled plan for growing your brand.
Companies that do great marketing stay in business. People who do great personal branding stay employed!
Mistake #3 – Not being on Google+.
I realize you are saying, "Is she kidding? I'm already on Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter – and I barely use those. What do I need another platform for?"
Well, here's the thing: Google+ isn't just another platform, it's the solution to your social networking challenges. It's easier to understand than Twitter, has better follower interaction than LinkedIn, and is visually more appealing than Facebook.
Plus, being an early-adopter of technology like this will earn you respect and trust from those around you. Any time we are on the "tip of the curl" of a technology, we show others how smart we are. Google+ is going to make you look good.
In fact, I'm so passionate about Google+ I created a FREE video tutorial and e-guide for all our readers called, "5 Steps to Becoming a Google+ Powerhouse."
Trust me, invest a little time in building your Google+ profile and you'll be thanking me later!
We can't rest on our career laurels any more. Staying on top of trends and new expectations is the only way to ensure we will be able to stay employable. I hope you will take heed and make sure you aren't making any of the mistakes above.
It's better to be safe than sorry!

Up until I was 15, I used to dream of being a professional basketball player. Those days, I practically lived on the court, shooting jump shot after jump shot, practising my dribbling, doing defensive drills, and working on my strength and conditioning - always training as hard as I could to try and make my dream come true.
One day when I was 14, we were doing a particularly gruelling fitness session, and since I was coming back from injury, I wasn't in the shape I usually was. I did my best to keep up, but halfway through the session, I had to run to the bathroom and throw up my breakfast.
A minute or so later, the coach knocked on the door.
'Danny, what's going on?'
I kept vomiting. He opened the door and stood there, waiting for me to stop.
'You done?' he finally asked.
'I think so,' I groaned.
'Good. Then get back out there.'
My whole body was trembling. Bile was dribbling down my chin. It was 7:30 in the morning, and I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was go back to bed. But at the same time, I wanted to be a professional basketball player. And if you want to be an elite athlete, then pushing yourself to the limits is just something you do.
As I'd learned early on in my career, to achieve your goals, sometimes you have to do what you least feel like doing.
So I took a few deep breaths, got to my feet, wiped the bile from my mouth and kept on training.
When I was 14, I developed tendonosis in my knee, and after numerous failed comeback attempts over the next 12 months, I had to devastatingly accept that any chance I had of going pro was over. I turned to the books and did well in high school, and two years later accepted a scholarship to study Commerce/Law at university. But then a number of things happened that plunged me into a crippling and near-fatal depression, and afterwards a further unlucky break led me to develop bipolar disorder. After several weeks of oscillating between being intensely suicidal and delusionally manic, I wound up in a psych ward.
All I wanted was to be happy. I asked the in-house psychiatrist if, given my condition, that would ever be possible.
'Of course it is, Danny,' she said. 'Mental illnesses are very treatable, but you'll need to work hard to overcome it. You'll need to diligently take your medication; continue to commit yourself to therapy; preferably read self-help books; and also very importantly, commit to living an active, healthy lifestyle by eating well, sleeping well and exercising frequently. If you take a proactive approach in trying to get better, then you'll be able to recover and live the happy, healthy life you want.'
So I did everything she said, and over time, I began to recover. The following year - while there were occasional relapses - I got better and better at managing my illness, and by the time I'd turned 23, I had it thoroughly under control. I'm 25 now, and quite possibly, the happiest and healthiest I've ever been.
Being a very active mental health advocate these days, people always ask me how I recovered. Half the time, I think they're looking for some sort of magical, out-of-the-box answer they've never heard before - and they almost seem disappointed when I tell them that all I did was do what you're supposed to do.
'But it's so hard!' they often retort. 'The stigma makes it so difficult to get therapy!'
'Depression makes me feel so exhausted - it's so hard to exercise when I feel that way!'
'I like drinking alcohol - I don't want to stop!'
'Self-help books are a bore!'
I know where they're coming from. Going to therapy isn't my first choice of things to do; I'd much prefer to eat fast food than salads and get drunk on the weekend like all my friends do; and most of the time I don't feel like going to the gym.
But I take optimum care of myself because I want to be happy - just like I kept training two minutes after I'd been puking my guts out because I wanted to be a professional basketball player.
Some people I played basketball with went on to play professionally. They were the ones who did whatever it took to achieve their dream - including many things they didn't necessarily like doing. I also know a lot of players who didn't make it to the pros - sometimes arguably due to injury - but mostly because they just didn't work hard enough.
Similarly, I know people who have recovered from depression and bipolar disorder because they set themselves the goal of doing so and then worked hard to achieve it. Unfortunately however, I know far more people who've never managed to get their illness under control, and have been plagued by it for their entire life. And almost always, it's because they've never done the things they need to do to get better.
I understand such things are difficult, but let me leave you with this question:
What's harder: Doing the things you need to do to get better, or being shackled by your illness for the rest of your life?
I know what my answer is.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) Summit in Columbus, Ohio, the reigning Intelligent Community of the Year for 2015. Annually, the ICF Summit brings together Mayors and officials from local and regional government, business and technology leaders from around the world to explore how Intelligent Communities enable growth and empower citizens. Attendees learn from each other through content-rich presentations and abundant opportunities for networking.
Ontario was well represented with delegations attending from Sarnia Lambton, Stratford, Grey County, York Region, and Hamilton.
Intelligent Communities are not necessarily large cities.
Some of the most interesting communities are smaller ones that have initiated innovative policies and practices to help themselves grow and prosper, including previous top ICF winners LaGrange, Georgia, USA (pop. 30,000) and Whanganui, New Zealand (pop. 43,000) which made the Top7 this year.
About broadband….
ICF events have a heavy focus on broadband. The view of many of the Summit presenters is that broadband infrastructure must be treated as a priority. In today's world, it is a utility, not a luxury. It was also stated that there is a role for municipalities to play in improving broadband.
In November 2015, I wrote on this page about broadband as an economic driver. In Ontario, the relevant regional initiatives are Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) and SouthWestern Integrated Fibre Technology or SWIFT. There is a strong case to be made for improving broadband, but to date costs and lack of interest have held back many rural areas of this province.
Broadband is not the silver bullet solution
According to ICF Senior Fellow Norman Jackniss, broadband is necessary but not sufficient cause of growth. To be successful, broadband must be tied to other forms of community development as well. These include
- developing the workforce for local business and home-based income
- connecting people to lifelong learning
- effective leadership
- collaboration (it's all about collaboration these days, not competition)
- focus on long-term sustainability
Research from Queen's University (PDF) on economic impact of rural broadband in Ontario had mixed findings. Overall the results suggested that broadband helps businesses in service industries overcome geographical barriers that have traditionally hampered rural employment growth, and in so doing, limits the urban/rural employment gap.
More on broadband in future posts…

Celebrity Superhero
From Amazon:
"When Anna Eom isn't reading fantasy novels, she's obsessing over her favorite K-pop group, SUPER. Each boy in the group has a different superpower, but Sungwook stands out from the crowd with his super-speed and super-strength, not to mention his super-hotness.
The day that SUPER's latest music video drops, Anna's mom does the worst thing imaginable and cuts the wi-fi to make her clean house instead. All because some old family friends are visiting them from Korea. Not only are the almost-strangers cutting her time short with her favorite K-pop group, but she knows she's going to be thrown together with a boy she only remembers as a bully. Caleb might be her age, but the last time she saw him ten years ago he stole her precious Disney princess necklace. What's worse is Anna's mom has threatened to clear her bookshelves if she doesn't greet the old friends at the door with a fragile vase as a gift.
Anna complies, planning on getting back to her books as soon as she can, but when her parents open the door it's not Caleb standing on the other side, but Sungwook from SUPER. Judging by the way he caught the vase she dropped with lighting speed, his super-powers might not be fiction."
I love Jennie Bennett's novellas. They're such fun, light reads. There aren't a lot of entries in the kpop romance genre, so I'm extra glad to have these!
Anna and Caleb are pretty well-developed characters, given the limited space Ms. Bennett is working with. There's great push-and-pull between them and I love that flustered Anna finally finds her feet. Rounding out the story is an obnoxious childhood friend, a dance-off with sasaengs, and a satisfying amount of character growth. Definitely worth a read!

A handsome groom, beautiful bride, gorgeous bridal party, family, friends, sunshine, entertainment and a great party. We had a wonderful time at Rolling Hills Country Club in Peters Twp. The ceremony was held outdoors. The white chairs, arbor and flowers set the scene perfectly. The reception room was decorated with white linens and beautiful centerpieces and gorgeous cake. The room was glowing from the sunshine and linens until sunset. Once the sun was down, the party really started with entertainment provided by DJ Spike Real. He is such a great DJ and a great guy to boot! He got everyone out on the dance floor by continually playing one good song after another. You can check him out here. Here are a few of our favorites from the day: Thank you Stephani and Jayson for letting us capture your day!

Cesar Azpilicueta has been offered a new five-year contract by Chelsea Football Club as announced by the official Chelsea FC website.
Azpilicueta joined the blues in August of 2012 from Marseille and has given solid performances throughout the various competitions including English Premier League and has won the heart of both fans and the manager alike (anyone remembers 11 Azpilicueta comment by Jose!).
Last season he was part of the least goal conceding unit which conceded only 27 goals in 38 EPL games.
We wish Cesar all the best for the future and hope he continues to be one of the solidest rocks of London.

Hear from Brian Briggs, one of PECF's OG's, on what he has to share about his fitness journey, what motivates him, and the sage advice he has for all of us wanting to achieve more in 2018.
What made you decide to try out PECF?
I had a major health issue that was a big wake-up call for me.
After two long hospital stays and major surgery I started walking 3-8 miles per day and lost approximately 90 pounds.
I needed something more challenging and discovered Crossfit. My first day of bootcamp quickly showed me how out of shape and weak I was.
I'm in better shape and stronger now, but I have a long way to go.
What were some of your goals?
1. Challenge myself with HIIT type conditioning
2. Get stronger
3. Lose weight
What are 3 accomplishments that you are proud of since joining PECF?
1. 100 Pull-Ups & 100 Push-ups on 12/15/17 (0 on Day 1)
2. Grace – 3:54 (First Rx attempt)
3. 1600m Run – 8:44
If you had to identify 1 key element you've found that has helped you achieve your fitness goals, what would they be?
There are several key elements…persistence, great coaching, & member support.
Name 1 hidden talent you have
The ability to make green cotton shorts (they are NOT athletic attire but Brian rocks them well) look fashionable.
Name 1 talent you wish you had
To understand the lyrics in some of the songs that are played during our WODs.
What advice would you have for someone new?
Show Up, Work Hard, Don't be afraid to scale movements, and have FUN!
What are your goals for 2018
1. Better cardio conditioning – sub 8:15 mile
2. Continue to improve upper body strength – string together multiple kipping pull-ups, ring dips, handstand push-ups, etc
3. Double-unders
4. Continue to improve lifting technique & strength – 225# Clean, 210# C&J, 145# Snatch, 350# DL, 365# BS, 285# FS, 225# Bench
5. Compete in Crossfit competition
6. Lose 40lbs

October Update
At the end of each month I'm going to try writing a brief update on the past 4-5 weeks. This will be a mix of personal and professional highlights. Here are a few of the October happenings.
– Scott and Austin, my two children, got baptized! This was the highlight of the year. While it's not that baptism saves a person, the act of it as a public acknowledgment of Jesus Christ is what makes this a special time. Moreover, I'm thankful that they're good friends with each other, a rarity among teen siblings these days (thanks Hollywood). Therefore, the fact that they did this together made the day extra special.
– Attended the Transhumanism and Spirituality conference in Salt Lake City on October 1st. Wild stuff! Expect a Forcing Change report very soon.
– Took my family on this Salt Lake City trip. Along the way we spent time with some great friends in Utah, Shane and Kim Jones of Tri-Grace Ministries, a ministry designed to impact Mormon students with the Gospel of the true Jesus Christ. This was a good learning experience, for we were able to see and discuss the challenges of Mormonism, especially as Tri-Grace is located in the heart of Mormon country. We also explored Maple Canyon with the Jones' family; a truly amazing place with massive conglomerate walls. In all, we traveled through North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Although it was a fast trip, we were able to spend a little time in Arches National Park, poke around the lava fields of Idaho, and do a short tour of Wind Caves in South Dakota. Along the way we picked up some cool rock specimens and saw lots of amazing country.
– In the beginning of October the September issue of Forcing Change was released; "The Fallacy of Social Justice: All for One and Theft to All." Sigh… My release of Forcing Change is always a little late. I need 48 hours in a day.
– Worked on putting together this blog site and a Facebook page for Forcing Change. I need to get FC circulating! Spent time with my webmaster and worked to clean up some areas of the Forcing Change website. It's rare that we're able to meet face-to-face, even though we only live 65 miles apart, so it was good to reconnect.
– Lots of great feedback on the FC Social Justice article! I did a radio interview with Frances and Friends on the topic, and received a request to tape an interview for an upcoming Steel on Steel radio show on the same theme. Finally, received a TV interview request. Details still have to be worked out.
– Came down with a wicked head cold that effectively knocked me out of the loop for over a week.
– Read The Soul in CyberSpace by Douglas Groothuis, You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier, The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom (this was our family-time reading), and The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and Germany's Eastern Policy – a short but insightful look into a part of World War I history that I've found troubling. Spent time reading through articles and reports on Transhumanism, and poked around in The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship, the massive research volume of Phillip and Paul Collins.
– Spent time re-reviewing the PLO charter, and some historical documents and communique from Hezbollah, Hamas, OPEC, and the Arab League. The reason: to better understand the background positions and agenda items behind the Arab/Israeli conflict, and the historical use of the Palestinians as a proxy of the League of Arab States and major socialist players – including the former Soviet Union.
– Studied Romans 13. This text has been so misconstrued and misused as a call for Christians to "obey" government without thinking. The book of Romans was written by Paul, and ironically his epistles are referred to as the "Prison Epistles." Why? Because Paul was in jail. Why? Because he didn't obey the mandate of officials. There's so much more going on in Romans 13 that we fail to recognize. I haven't got it "all figured out," but I know that blind obedience isn't what's being asked for. Acts 5:29-32 plays into this thorny issue.
– Re-connected with a friend who is working through some unique angles to Psalm 102:1-3. Another friend, Mark Vande Pol, author of Natural Process, called to discuss the implications of Shemitta and its deeper roots in Genesis. I confess I don't understand it all, and recognize that I have a long learning curve in so many areas. Check out the links to Mark's two sites.
– Cataloged a bunch of books from my library. I use Library Thing. This is a fantastic online program that I highly recommend.
– Spoke at the Fortier Gospel Chapel. Great people! Fortier is a little hamlet between Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
– Spent some time in the bush working on a future cabin site; a long held dream of ours. This is a great way to get some badly needed fresh air. Does anybody have a pile of 12 foot 2X10's or 2X8's kicking around that needs to be cleaned up?
– Got a chance to closely look over and sit in a Delica L400 (the link takes you to an example of a nice L400). I've been looking at the L400 for over a year. It would be a fantastic asset in our "neck of the woods." Maybe someday…
October slid by way too fast.

Some dingdong who refuses to leave the 20 km dead zone around the Fukushima nuclear power plant meltdowns, has found that his pet cows (the cattle cannot be sold and he has collected compensation already) have spots. Oh noes! Cows with spots!
"White spots" on Fukushima cattle ignored by Japanese officials
Channel NewsAsia — 29 Aug 2013
…Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, farmer Masami Yoshizawa kept his cattle alive to monitor changes due to prolonged radiation exposure. Now, mysterious white spots on the fur and skin are appearing on 10 of his Japanese black cattle.
As revelations about continued problems around the nuclear plant emerged, it should be a major concern for Japan's agricultural business. But so far, nothing has been said about the issue.
Kazuo Suzuki, the Ministry of Agriculture official responsible for livestock within the 20 kilometre exclusion zone, was informed of the white spots by Mr Yoshizawa when he visited Mr Yoshizawa's farm in December 2012.
Meanwhile with this week's revelation that 300 tons of water contaminated with radioactive material has gushed out of Fukushima, the real concern is how much is the Japanese government lying about the fallout from Fukushima (Newstalk / 2013Aug29).

Welcome to Over 35s Mens Football.
part of the club is for those dedicated to the social side of playing the
beautiful game. Don't get us wrong, once we cross the white line there is the
same drive to win as we all had 20 years ago, but these days we recognise the
body is less willing.
Nevertheless North Star has played in grand finals in 3
of the last 4 years but this is definitely despite our ability and not because
of it!!
No matter your shape and size you'll be
welcome to join in our Over 35s Mens team. After all you can't be slower than
Phil, or less flexible than Jason! Very few are smaller than Pan or taller than
Vim! And we're all younger than Jim.
What we are is a social team, even though no one can understand Eamon! In other words no matter your shape, size,
creed or ability you are welcome to join North Star Over 35s Mens Football.
Training is on a Monday evening from 7pm,
and we play in a Brisbane North social competition on Friday nights.
Friday games
usually kick off after 730pm allowing time to score points at home helping the
family before heading out to play football!
This is a professionally organised
competition run by Football Queensland.
We play on full size fields and paid
referees control the game. The only rule modification is no sliding tackles for
player safety, and unlimited interchange, giving us all a breather when we need
it! Otherwise it's the game we all know and love.
Fees for 2018 are $395 per player to be paid
in full before being eligible to play in the competition.
Fees include club membership, playing kit,
training costs, match referee fees and competition insurance.
To qualify you
must be 35 or older by Dec 31 2018. It helps if you've kicked a ball or two
during your life.
what are you waiting for?
Click this link to register: http://tinyurl.com/z2bjgky or call Phil on 0411 085 133.
Over 35s football is a fantastic way to let
your hair down (if you have any) at the end of the working week, while doing a
little fitness and making new friends.
so social that even training is not compulsory!

My goal was to build a coop that reminded me of the red barn I grew up with and to reuse as much material as I could. This was to be a home for 8 layers, who were 5 weeks old when I started. The finishing touch was a 'coop' quilt on the door. The coop/run was built in four sections which allowed me to get the girls out of my mudroom sooner. The coop is 4'x6', the porch (upper level) is 4'x4', and the lower run is 4'x10'. It is fully enclosed with hardware cloth and the wire runs under it and beyond the border to prevent digging. There are perches in the lower run and the porch which are not shown in the pictures. It is wired for electricity so I can run a fan in the summer and heat their water in the winter. There are vents on both ends near the roof and two louvered windows that sit across from each other for ventilation.
I wanted a secure coop with some run space so that if we were gone, the girls could move freely from the coop to some outdoor space and be as safe as possible. There are five exterior doors at this point: a large one at the end of the lower run, a double door to the side of the lower run, a door to the coop, and a door to the porch. All doors are double latched with one slide latch and one snap hook latch. There is a pop door inside the unit that leads from the coop to the porch. It is made of 3/8th inch plastic type material. It is very durable and moves easily with the track and pulley system. It is also slick so difficult to move by pushing on it with my hands (or paws). It drops about 8 inches below the level of the door and I do have a lock on it as well.
I decided to make the nesting box access with a drop down door due to the height of the coop, which is secured with snap locks. I love this design; it is very easy to open and get the eggs. After doing a lot of "lurking" on BYC, I decided to not have dividers between the nesting boxes. The boxes are Rubbermaid tubs. They are easy to take out and clean if needed, softer to the touch than plastic, and will tolerate the cold winters we have. An added bonus was I happened to have three I had used over the years for gardening just waiting to be re-purposed. Two of the pullets have just started laying and they are using different boxes, which makes me happy. In the picture below the interior entrance to the nesting boxes are shown still covered with mesh till the girls got closer to egg laying. When the coop door is shut, the nesting boxes are in the darker end of the coop and the pullets seem very comfortable with them. The floor of the coop is covered with a matte counter top laminate sheet. It is easy to clean and I have not noted any slipping by the chickens. I have a couple inches of shavings down for the summer to provide some cushion as the chickens come off the roost. The interior of the coop is painted with an exterior latex semi-gloss with the nesting boxes in a darker tone. The coop is lined with aluminum so cleaning will be easy.
The ladder from the porch to the lower level is made out of a type of plywood siding that is like a rough cut plank, which provides traction without slivers. Rungs were also added for footing. The ladder drops down to a table in the lower run. The table provides a large landing space, allowed the ladder to be shorter and at a comfortable degree of incline. I put a tub for dust bathing under the table. In the picture below you can see the waterer made out of a kitty litter container and horizontal nipples. I topped it with a large plastic planter to keep them from perching on top. The kennel was removed once the coop was completed and the waterer moved to far end of the lower run.
The roosts in the coop total almost 8'. I built a table which is lined with NRP paneling (smooth side up). One roost runs along the top with poop boards filled with PDZ underneath. My poop boards are cafeteria trays and boot trays. The other roost sits at the same level but runs lengthwise. I made a one legged tray board that seats onto the support board of the table. Trays also sit under this roost. I can easily reach each tray from the coop door without getting in the coop so cleaning is quick and easy. The roosts are part of the unit rather than being supported by the wall. The whole unit is easy to take apart and remove from the coop for cleaning.
A peak at the pop door and the second vent at the porch end. You are looking through the unopened porch door. This door access allows me to peek in through the pop door to the nesting boxes at the other end of the coop without being too obtrusive. I also can clean the porch from this door, and in the winter will move the food and water to the porch. The floor of the porch is divided in the center and can easily be removed for cleaning.
These are some construction photos. The first job was to dig in the cement block and level them as the site runs down a slope; great for drainage but not so much for building a level building. The first section built was the 4'x6' lower run with the double doors. The floor of the coop acted as a ceiling and I used metal grates from a freezer to close off the yet to be completed end. The chicks were 7 weeks at this point and were still in our mudroom at night. Getting this section done allowed me to move them out to the run at night using the top part of a dog kennel as a shelter.
This shows the coop framing, which sits on one section of the lower run. I built this like a house versus a pole building thinking that if I ever had to move it, it would be easier to do as I could take each section apart. This took longer and is probably the one thing I would change if I ever did another one.
Lower run done and porch and roof completed. The roof was then shingled, an aluminum skin added to the coop shell for ease of cleaning, outside siding added, then the finishing details. The floor of the porch sits higher than the floor of the coop. This decreased the drop from the pop door to the porch floor, but allowed for a deeper drop to the coop floor to help keep shavings inside and allow the interior pop door to fall down way below the level of the doorway so if a predator did make it through all the exterior defenses, they would have a difficult time getting a paw under the door to lift it.
So far I am happy with the design of the coop/run and find the many doors allow easy access for cleaning without bending over. I am now working on a 10'x10' run that they can access from this unit.
Aluminum - free (from an old pick-up camper we had)
Louvered windows - free (from the camper)
Vents - free (from the camper)
Trim - free (mahogany window casings given to me many years ago)
Ladder and table - free ( plywood siding, mahogany, and cedar all given to me)
Pop door - free (piece of thick plastic I found in the garage, framing was the mahogany)
Interior coop paint - free (Recycle center)
Interior/Exterior primer - free (Recycle center)
Floor covering - free, someone gave me a roll
Posts for run/porch - free (from a garden arch that a tornado took down, wood is naturally resistant to rot and insects)
Stain/Sealer - free (Recycle center)
NRP siding for poop table and lining the frame of the coop - $4.00 (H for H ReStore)
Shingles - $15.00 (ReStore, $5.00 a pack)
Brass hinges - $3.00 (ReStore - 50 cents each)
Roofing felt - $4.00 for a roll (ReStore)
Lower run framing - free (friend tore down a deck)
Cement blocks - 5 were free
Hardware cloth - some in machine shed from years ago, most purchased new
Exterior Paint for Coop - $17.00 (regularly $40.00 a gallon)
Roosting board/poop tray unit - free except 2x4 roosts (cedar and mahogany)
Including the items with a cost noted above, I spent about $250.00 on this coop/run. New items included 2x4s for the interior coop framing, cement blocks, siding, exterior and lath screws, shingle nails, roof sheathing, and latches/locks. When I could I got things on sale or used the 11% rebates at Menards from previous purchases.
Here are some pictures of the next component of the project. Although my flock free ranges all day, I wanted to have a larger run for times I wanted them contained. I built this run out of lumber a friend gave me when they tore out a large deck, thus the beefy construction. The run is 10 x 10 ft and 6.5 ft tall. It is covered with hardware cloth on all sides and the top. Around the bottom edges I laid an apron of chain link fence (given to me by a neighbor). On two sides I also overlaid it with hardware cloth. I have some large rocks I will be placing around the edges as well. Next year I will stain it with a redwood stain I got free at the recycle center.
To connect the run to the coop, I built a raised walkway out of the decking lumber and hardware cloth. I laid aluminum sheets I had left over from the PU camper I took apart and laid on top to provide shade and rain protection. In the picture I moved one of the panels to show the hardware cloth on top. Since there is hardware cloth on all top/bottom/and sides, and both ends of the walkway had doors, it has doubled as a broody box when I had a pullet go broody and I wanted to cool her off. I put water and food in with her and one day in the "box" and she had cooled down and went up to the roost that night. The chair is for the chickens to perch on, there is also a stump and a branch perch in the run. The chair was a reclining lawn chair so it is fairly heavy and doesn't tip when the birds perch on the arms or back. It had cracked in the front of the seat so we no longer used it, but the chickens love it.
This is the door that leads from the run to the walkway. It drops down so doubles as a ramp up to the walkway. There are actually two cross pieces on the "ramp" for footing, just didn't have the second one on at the time the pic was taken.
Below is the pop door that leads to the coop's lower run. It is a nylon cutting board from Walmart. This is viewing it from the top of the walkway. It is open here, the bolt slides through to keep it up.
Here is the door shut. The bolt again is slide in to lock in place. I slip another bolt in at the "handle". Making this pop door was the most stressful part of making this run and walkway because I had to cut into a very secure coop. But the door turned out fine and I was very careful to ensure there were no possible entry points around the framing or door. If an animal were to pull out the bolt and pull the door open. they still do not have access to the door's opening.
This is the pop door that leads to the walkway as seen from inside the run under the coop. At night I close both the pop door in the large run and this pop door.
The cost for this run and walkway was about $120. The majority of that was the hardware cloth. The cutting board was about $9.00 and I had to purchase more lath screws and deck screws to finish this project. I was fortunate to have the lumber and chainlink fence given to me and I had hardware for the pop doors and the main entry door on hand.

Red Rose, 30"X30", acrylic on canvas, 2009, gallery wrap
A bush of red roses is the center of this painting. Saturated reds, pinks, maroons and subtle purples of the flowers are contrasted against dark greens branches and leaves of the bush. The background of the painting is composed of lighter variations of blue, purple, green and orange. Some areas are highlighted with white to further emphasise the contrast. "Red Roses" is painted in an expressive manner of paint application that can be achieved with the use of a palette knife. Every element of the painting is constructed with great care. For example, painting marks within the flowers are directed around the circular form of each rose. Paint strokes resemble the pedals of the flowers. "Red Roses" is intended as a decorative piece. It is on sale on eBay at a bargain price for a limited time, FREE shipping is provided:

RSI Silicon rebrands as Renewable Silicon International (RSi).
I have not been able to update RSI Silicon commences Solar Grade Silicon production since March 2009, until now.
In an interview last week with RSi President and CTO Dr. Steve Amendola and Executive Vice President Greg Mandor, I learned RSi plans to start one of two (2) 500 MT arc furnaces at their Easton, Pennsylvania USA, facility in late September or early October 2011 to produce commercial sized 100 to 400 kg (kilogram) customer samples of solar grade silicon. RSi expects to be producing solar grade silicon full time with the first arc furnace by the end of 2011 or early 2012.
Thus far, RSi has produced small batches of 6-7N (six 99.9999% to seven nines 99.99999% pure) solar grade silicon material using the now patented ChemArc process with small experimental sized furnaces.
RSi has not sold any solar grade silicon material to prospective customers, and although RSi has grown a silicon ingot, no silicon solar cells have ever been made from the material. RSi said not enough material had been produced to supply production sized Directional Solidification System (DSS) furnaces. RSi believes their 6N+ quality material will cast 7N multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) ingots suitable for manufacturing mc-Si solar cells. Dr. Amendola said:
So far results have shown that we can produce a 6N material which when you put it into the multicrystalline direct solidification unit gets better than 7N and will make a very good cell.
RSi claims upward of 30 companies have expressed interest in sampling the material to date with new inquiries arriving weekly. Companies range from global brands to the smallest firms all vying for a limited number of initial samples.
As customers place solar grade silicon orders, RSi plans to ramp the second 500 MT arc furnace around 2Q 2012.

Mokrye Krossy [Wet Cross] was originally released by Tima Belorusskikh as a single in 2018. It is about being prepared to go though anything to be with the subject of the song while not being available for anyone else. Katya gives us an incredible version here with a greater emphasis on melody an rhythm than the original, and the chorus of this version is so catchy that will have you wanting to sing along, even if you don't understand Russian.
You can follow Katya on vKontakte, and on her YouTube channel.

Well, quite literally so! Get nitrogen for your car tyres and feel the difference for yourself. I think its not available in hyderabad still, but one of my friends from bangalore told me regarding this.
In Banaglore, you can get nitrogen for your tyres at the HP petrol pump on (Old) Airport Road itseems. And, he told me the exact address. . He said, "If you're coming from Marathalli, then look for a Pizza Hut on your left, you'll find this place immediately after the crossing." But, i hope hyderabad also provides this facility.
They charge Rs 30 per tyre for the first fill itseems. The fill apparently lasts 6 months. Subsequent cost is Rs 10 per tyre. And, my friend also told me the following benefits :
->Car drives smoother (can vouch for it).
->You don't have to worry about air pressure for six months (need to verify).
->Less likelihood of a tyre burst (need to verify).
->Better mileage (need to verify).
There may be some places in Hyderabad offering this service. If so, please update those locations as comments on this article.

Demers' Diary: Heading in the Right Directionby Jason Demers jasondemers5 / Florida Panthers Defenseman
I think we're right in it and we know it.
It was nice to kind of take a little mental break from the game this past week, but I think everybody had their eyes on this little push we have going. Now, it's a sprint to the playoffs. These last few games are going to go by quick, so we can't give any of the games away or any of the points away. I think we're feeling pretty rejuvenated, mentally and physically, so it's definitely going to be interesting to see what we can put together here.
It's also really big to have Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov back in the lineup. I mean, everyone who's come up and battled with us, everyone who's played for the Panthers this year, knows how much those guys were missed. At the same time, the guys that filled in did a heck of a job keeping us in the hunt; they're not forgotten and we're playing for them too.
There's been a lot of people knocking us off and telling us that we're not going to make it to the playoffs. There have also been a lot of negative comments this season, but everything internally, within the organization and our locker room, has been positive. I think we're all pulling together and the ship's going the right direction now.
Honestly, I feel like you learn more in losing than winning. I know that, for me, personally you learn more when you have obstacles in your way and you've got to climb some mountains. I think we've definitely climbed a couple mountains this year. I also think that journey does bring you together as a team. In the past few months, we've all battled together, fought hard together, and been hurt together. It's something that you keep close, something that we're going to be using down the home stretch.
Video: OTT@FLA: Demers tallies long-range empty-netter
Of course, we also kept a pretty close eye on the standings over the break.
Toronto had a lot of games in hand on us, so we were watching to see what they'd do. Now that things are starting to even up a bit, we can see that we're right there in the thick of it. It's going to be a tight race. There are literally eight teams that are battling for a handful of spots. It's nothing but playoff hockey from now on and I think we're going to thrive in that atmosphere.
For my own personal spring break, I spent some time in the Dominican Republic. It wasn't anything crazy, just a couple of days in the sun and a lot of rest. I just sat on the beach with friends, mixing in some wind sprints and squats. I looked for a hockey rink but couldn't find anywhere to skate, so I just skated in the sand and pretended it was ice.
As for the Super Bowl, I'm not surprised.
I wasn't even shocked when New England was down by 25 points. I knew that Tom Brady wanted to make a dramatic comeback. They have a winning culture and are just that kind of team. It was definitely a fun time for us.
I'm proud to be a Patriots fan - not a bandwagon Pats fan, a legit Pats fan.
I started watching football when I turned 20, while I was living in Worchester, Mass., and playing for San Jose's American Hockey League affiliate. I feel like they probably have the craziest Pats fans there. Like, if you're in a bar or at a restaurant and the Pats game is on and you're not cheering for them, then you're probably going to be getting in a fight with somebody. I learned that you've got to convert quick and luckily ended up choosing the right team to follow.
I like winners and I follow winners…. the winning never gets old.

Breast cancer is the commonest cause of cancer deaths among women. Dr Radhika Lakshmanan specialises in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery and Breast Cancer Management.
|written By : Nithya Subramanian
She is simple and down-to-earth. When you meet her, she will instantly put you at ease and you will soon realise that Dr Radhika Lakshmanan has a safe pair of hands. Approachability is perhaps her most significant quality especially for someone specialising in Breast Cancer Surgery and Oncoplastic Breast Surgery. For this is one problem that many women ignore and are not very comfortable discussing freely. Lakshmanan's command over this feild makes her a sought after speaker, as she offered participates in educational sessions on breast cancer.
With over 15 years of experience as a surgeon, Lakshmanan is a Singaporean whose parents migrated from Kerala, India. A bright student, her fascination for medicine began when she saw doctors at work during her childhood visits. She secured her medical degree from the National University of Singapore in 1997, obtained her MRCS (Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh), followed by Masters in Medicine (General Surgery) and lastly obtained her FRCS (Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh).
Starting off as a general surgeon who was involved in the various aspects of surgery such as gut, veins, thyroid, she decided to specialise in breast cancer treatment as "this is something close to women. I wanted to embark on something more than what is already offered as standard care in Singapore, which is Oncoplastic Breast Surgery," Lakshmanan said. She is currently part of PanAsia Surgery- a one-stop multi-specialty Surgical Group Practice that provides personalised and comprehensive care for the full range of emergency and elective surgical problems.

THE Ebrington Arms near Chipping Campden has scooped another award for it's mantelpiece from the nation's most prestigious 'go-to' guide for UK pubs, The Good Pub Guide.
The award – 'County Dining Pub of the Year 2019' beats off stiff competition from over a thousand pubs across the whole of Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, one of the UK's favourite foodie areas.
Editor of The Good Pub Guide, Fiona Stapley, explained; "The Ebrington was chosen as Dining Pub for Gloucestershire 2019 not just because their imaginative food is so creative and delicious but because we had so many reports from our trusted readers that were full of enthusiastic praise on the meals they'd enjoyed there over this last year. It's a lovely, well-run inn and a special place to eat – with the added bonus of own-brewed ales and country-style bedrooms, too."
Last year the pub won the national award, 'No 1 UK Village Inn' by The Times newspaper. Owner Claire Alexander commented; 'Over the moon doesn't come close…. It means a great deal to us and our amazing teams, not just now but over the whole 12 years we've been here. We've had two AA Rosettes for our food for nine years in a row now so this recognises the consistent food offering at the pub. And it's also an important accolade because the voting is from customer reviews as well as the experts."
Owners Claire and Jim Alexander have always focussed on creating the perfect Cotswold pub atmosphere that works for regulars and tourists. Attention to detail is key, from the friendly welcome to preserving the pub's near 400 year old history and character in the public areas and five boutique bedrooms. The food has always focussed on classic English cooking with someone for everyone on the menu, including some organic dishes. The couple have also been brewing their own craft ales since 2012 which this year were certified organic by the Soil Association. The couple also own The Killingworth Castle pub in Wootton near Woodstock and Blenheim Palace which they rescued in 2012 when closed and have since turned it into a buzzing 2 rosette pub with 8 bedrooms.

|Recent Forum Topics Warpstone Open XIV T...
|ramchop takes on the...
|Value of +AV
GLN: Now, the questions everybody is interested in - the Majors! First off, let's start with the contemporary issues: Concessions. What will your stance be against this phenomenon in these events?
Malthor: Concessions, I love collecting them! Next!
Seriously, I hear the concerns of the coaches very much. In some tournaments in particular (like Rookie Smacks) an early concession can 'ruin' the tournament, or the coach who has to play the beneficiary of that concession next feels the tournament has been ruined or turned into a farce. The reality there is no simple answer. Conceding is within the rules and if a coach does not want to play the game anymore what can you do? Make the coach play on and he/she doesn't move any players at all? Or he/she just fouls the heck out of the other guy?
GLN: So, in short, you'll be making no move against concessions, leaving the RRR - which makes conceding a bannable offence - as the exception to the rule.
Malthor: I do think conceding in tournaments is undesirable, but it is not clearly something we want to punish - it's not something we want to encourage either. Although I am in charge of tournaments, I make decisions in consultation with my fellow admins, and there are mixed views on this. If there is a change to be made to discourage concessions (a desirable outcome) then there might be a slight penalty - for example, a concession from a SMACK might earn a two week ban. I am more worried about coaches who concede multiple times from SMACKs, to be honest, than a coach who concedes once in the 8 or 9 majors that they have played.
GLN: In the same vein, there have been mutterings about the prevalence of power-teams - your own experience in this matter should be succinct. Any thoughts on placing a team rating cap on any of the Major tournaments?
Malthor: Again, there are very divergent views. On the one hand, coaches want to see the biggest and/or best teams in the final series and selecting your opponents in ranked is part of being in an open league structure. On the other side, I hear some coaches don't feel it is fair for über teams (some call them artificial teams) to dominate the Majors. Lets put it into context: We have had 9 Majors. Apart from the Athel Loren Guardians winning the GLT II, no Major has been won by an über team that was super selective with their games.
GLN: But not for lack of trying! This was what, your fourth Major final?
Malthor: Fourth Major final, I think so, with one or two of those being from the days of me being a Chaos Dwarf coach. I will certainly give it some more thought. It is not appropriate for the FUMBBL Cup to have a TR cap, nor for the GLT, it seems. The FUMBBL Cup is the premier event, and the GLT - well, the fluff is about publicity, after all. I could see the UI or the WO having a cap, though. Alternatively, there is also the possibility of other TR capped tournaments besides the Majors that will have worthwhile prizes, for instance a 64 team KO Cup with a TR 250 ceiling. Then again, should the new team structuring rules code-named "LRB5" be implemented on FUMBBL, the point of TR 300 teams will be moot.
GLN: On to the issue of qualifiers, then. Are you planning to change the existing formats, introducing Swiss style qualifiers, perhaps, or removing them entirely in favour of a straight 128 team Knock-Out tournament?
Malthor: Handling who progresses with so many teams and getting it all done quickly is an enormous challenge. There are some coaches who like Swiss style tournies, but they are very difficult to manage with large groups - handling ties for example. My plan at the moment is to try out some Swiss and round robin type 16 team tournaments to see how well they work before we progress further. Obviously if we use a 16 team tourney, we are not going to make them play all 15 teams! We'll probably break them up into groups of four groups of four round robin or four swiss game rounds to work out the four winners. Then they might do a Swiss or round robin again or proceed to straight KO.
GLN: That sounds like an awfully long dragged out qualification procedure.
Malthor: And there you have the problem.
GLN: No plans to forgo the qualifications altogether and make the Warpstone Open a straight-up 128 team tournament, then, for instance?
Malthor: As for a straight 128 team KO tourney with no break for recovery/cash games inbetween, you read that and think "Great idea!" - but then lets think this through... Many coaches complain (coaches will complain about anything, heh) that the Majors and the SMACKs are dominated by bashy teams. If you take out the UI, which gives Elves a better chance to reach the final 16, the majority of Majors and SMACKs have been won by bashers.
GLN: A myth, surely, as out of the four current Major champions, we have one Orc team and three different Elf teams.
Malthor: Go back and include all 9 majors. Anyway, make it a 128 team KO and the Elves will all stay away. Now I've got nothing against bashy teams, but we want a wide range of teams participating if possible.
GLN: This has nothing to do with you preferring and coddling to the cherry-picking, team-building, treasury-hoarding crowd, then?
Malthor: I think it is interesting that Dominik who I played in the GLT final series with a killer chaos team against my Elf-Bowlers has made posts supporting a break before the main round. As he points out, there is a reason why the Bashers have so many Stars they can hire while the Elves are limited to naff Stars (Horkon vs Dwarves anyone?) and the Wizard. As I said above, I am not averse to looking at measures to get as many coaches playing as possible. If a 128 straight KO cup is not suitable, we can try limiting the number of recovery games after qualifying, or handing extra cash for making it through the qualifier and removing MNGs. Then again, you'll get complaints that the Dwarf team who is already going to suffer fewer casualties is going to have more cash to hire Grim Ironjaw and Zara, etc. In some ways, running any league is a lose-lose proposition: there is always going to be someone who isn't happy.
GLN: Now that you've brought it up yourself, what about the friendly games that many teams play between qualifying and the tournament itself to generate cash and keep their players in shape?
Malthor: We could always limit the number of preparation games people can play to one, or so. We could offer bigger cash prizes for reaching the final 16, or, if you reach the final 16, we delete any MNG results to simulate a week off when you reach the final 16, instead. The other thing to add is that whatever rule we use, there will be coaches preparing their games to min/max and get their team to the optimal position before the start, be it a max of 100K for Stars/Wizards or making sure they have 3 DPs. Our coaches are very good at planning ahead.
GLN: Then there's the timing issue. Many spectators complain that one game every two weeks does not keep the interest at a sufficient level. Sponsors are grumbling and Purchased Phantasmagorical Visitations are down by 50%! Any plans?
Malthor: There is a common perception that bi-weekly tournaments are just way too long. The majors just fizzle out after the initial first few weeks as the very interested specs and followers wait and wait for the next game to be played - so I am going to look at weekly KOs for the majors.
The interview continues on the next page.

This is our first pickup day! Welcome to our CSA and thank you for supporting our farm. It really means a lot to us.
Spring planting season ended yesterday here, so now we're moving on to full-on weeding and harvesting! This morning's rain kept your produce crisp and clean till we got it into the cooler.
During the week we post pictures and updates on the farm Facebook page, so 'like' us if you'd like to see what we're up to!
Anyways, tonight is our first pick-up at the Westy! We'll be there from 5 till 8 with a market-style stand out in the beer garden. Bring reusable bags. We will also have one Plowbreak Farm bag for each share (surprise!), screen printed by Kaleb, Edith and Abe of Standard Art Supply on Seneca Street.
Monday on-farm pick-ups and Tuesday Emmy's pick-ups start next week. See you guys then!
Please look over our member guide before tonight's pick-up. Our free choice model allows you to take what you and your family need for fresh eating that week. If you're having people over for dinner, plan for that. But please don't plan to give fresh produce to friends or neighbors.
Also, reminder that if you're splitting a share with someone you don't live with, please either coordinate to come together or have one person pick up for both people. It eliminates a lot of confusion, especially later in the season when you're picking up up to 30 different types of vegetables!
A note on keeping produce fresh: the crisper drawer is your friend! Keep all leafy greens and root veggies in breathable plastic bags or containers in this drawer, if possible. We also like to stick a folded-up paper towel in bags of salads to absorb any excess water and keep the greens from getting soggy. If you leave any greens out in your refrigerator, they'll become wilty overnight and you won't want to eat them because they won't look nice. Sometimes this happens to us and we feel like bad farmers, don't let it happen to you!
So, we hope you've cleaned our your refrigerators! Here's what you'll be getting this week:
sweet salad turnips (white and some red)radishes (two varieties!)spring onions lettuce (red and iceberg)arugula (baby and bunched)bunched herbs (oregano and sage)sorrelAsian greens salad mixkalemustard raab stored carrots
stored turnips
Thanks, and we'll see you tonight!
Kara and Aaron

Identity 2015
Photographic images are often used as a jumping off point for artists. In this series of paintings, a new body of work for me, the photographic image becomes much more than a reference. I have a direct genetic and emotional connectivity to the subject in the reference image as well as, in most cases, the photographer.
There are also the circumstances surrounding the image; the timing, the location, the aspects of my personal memory relative to the context in which the image was recorded.
My own story and work is shaped by the loss of my mother at a young age. The images reveal tangible evidence that my mother was at one time present. Some create the illusion of perfection which, of course, does not exist. Others give the viewer hints of brokenness.
I explore the voids; the catch-22 of narrative imagery, that leave one seeking additional information, much like the unfinished conversations that we would like to complete with loved ones no longer with us. The images illustrate shared experiences, a family photo before church, children beneath a Christmas tree, a family sharing a meal, allowing the viewer to imagine a connection to their own stories.

What Can NAPPS Members Look Forward To
Being a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) means being part of a unique organization and having plenty of networking opportunities available any time of day. Through NAPPS, there are countless resources to help pet sitting businesses with all kinds of matters, so as the 2016 Education & Networking Forum nears, let's take a look at what NAPPS members can look forward to.
This year's key speaker is Tim Link, a pet expert who is a successful author and radio host. Tim has been featured on shows such as Fox & Friends and Good Day Atlanta. Link is a guest blogger on Victoria Stilwell's Positively Expert blog, as well as on the Dogster and Catster websites. In addition to his blogging and media appearances, Link is the host of the Animal Writes show on Pet Life Radio. He has interviewed many well-known, best-selling, animal-related authors, award-winning writers, and journalists whose focus is bringing animal stories and topics to the public's attention.
There will be various sessions offered for NAPPS members to partake in during the forum. How to be the Top Dog in a Crowded Market, by Jaime Migdal, is a session that independently-owned and operated businesses may be especially interested in. Smaller businesses are more susceptible to external market pressures than bigger ones, but this session will offer independent business owners new ideas on how to survive hard economic times and competition while still making a profit. If you are wondering how to navigate social media, Michele Lawson's session, Positive & Profitable: Your Business on Social Media is a must. Michele will provide timesaving tips while building a stronger presence online. Likewise, knowing how to use SEOs to increase online traffic to a website is key to being found online. Josh Cary will be the presenter of The 4 SEO Essential Elements to an Effective Website, which will direct businesses on how to attract more traffic to their website. Mike Linville will present a session called Marketing Strategies for Pet Sitters, which will include useful information on how to take a business to the next level.
While sessions make up a portion of the forum, there is also the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy event to get excited about! This two-part certificate program will teach NAPPS members how to look for signs of stress, aggression and arousal of dogs in their care, as well as language cues that they may give with their ears, eyes, lips and tail. By helping us to understand the meaning of the way animals interact with people and other animals, the CATCH program will help keep both animals and NAPPS members safe. Animal-to-animal and person-to-person interactions are complex, so it is important to understand each, as well as learning signals that pets can easily pick up and respond to. All of these topics are covered in the CATCH program. With this course, all participants will receive a certificate that can then be displayed on their website and/or marketing materials.
So what are you waiting for? Book your reservation for the 2016 Education & Networking Forum and see what NAPPS can do for you!

The biggest problem with the ID cards being proposed by the UK government is trust, and here is a great example of it being misplaced ...
The public have been trained to trust the "Chip and PIN" (C&P) system of card payment authorisation. The banks in the UK have sold the idea that C&P is totally safe and thus any misuse of a card and it's PIN is the responsibility of the card holder. Under a deluge of relentless marketing the public have indeed come to trust C&P. Of course the public should not have been so trusting, as is now clear.
If you have time, do watch the BBC Newsnight video on this subject. (BTW, Jane Badger is not a relative of mine, as far as I know).
... For every mention in the video of the term "Chip & PIN" replace the term "National Identity Card", and you have a flash forward to a sampling of the kinds of identity theft problems that any national ID card will cause.
It is not the technological weakness of such systems that cause the big problems, it's the trust we the public place in them.
And as an aside, I had a C&P transaction fail just last week in London. I immediately went to my bank and said I wanted a note on my file that something weird had happened at the particular store. The response from the bank staff member was initially that I should not worry because C&P is perfectly secure (in fact she was rather annoyed that I was bothering her with such a 'trivial' matter).
Trust them not.

People in China will soon know Whitby by a different name.
Vampire Town (Xi Xue Gui Xiao Zhen), Twilight Town (Mu Guang Zhi Cheng) and "Hui Te Bai" which sounds like the Chinese pronunciation of Whitby and means 'this town has picturesque scenery' are three possible suggestions put forward by the Chinese public for VisitBritain's "Great Names for Great Britain" campaign.
China is now the world's largest outbound market, with 196,000 visits to Britain in 2013 and around £500 million being spent during their time in the UK.
But now VisitBritain has ambitious plans to double the value of that market by 2020 and to ensure that growth is spread across the nations and regions.
It is working with groups such as Welcome to Yorkshire to decide on the preferred name in Mandarin to promote Whitby in China.So far, Hui Te Bai is leading with 1,805 votes.
The promotion coincided with Chinese New Year yesterday. People in this year are said to be peaceful, helpful and trusting and it is the Year of the Sheep, said to be filled with promise and prosperity.
