The untold truth of Blade
When it comes to the blockbuster success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a lot of credit is often rightly paid to Robert Downey Jr.'s excellent acting in Iron Man, producer Kevin Feige's sure control over the slow threading of the various movies, and the creative genius of comic creators Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Gene Colan, John Romita Sr., and Stan Lee in dreaming up the publisher's characters in the first place. While all of these were factors, it was the 1998 release of Blade, a gory action movie packed with leather coats and thrilling set pieces, that first broke the comic movie mold in the '90s and showed longtime readers and mainstream audiences alike that Marvel Comics could be cool.
But the 1998 release of Blade isn't the whole story; in fact, there's a lot you might not know about your favorite bloodsucker-busting hero. Here's the untold truth of Blade.

We have written about it many times (see for example "Mitigation of Damages"), but perhaps it's time to re-highlight that an injured person who makes a claim for compensation is actually required to take all reasonable steps to mitigate his or her loss. So what does this actually mean?
Tag Archives: settlement
How much is my workcover case worth?
"How much is my workcover case worth?" Is a question we receive very often from seriously injured workers. It is a very difficult question to answer because the "commercial value" of your case depends of many factors, and each case is unique.
The myth about workcover settlement
By sharing his/her story, the following seriously injured worker highlights again the common"myths" about those ignorant people who think that because you have been seriously injured at work (and are entitled to a common law damages claim) you "will be set up for life" or "it will be like winning the lottery". Wrong!
Settlement of a workcover claim out of court
In this article, we'll outline the main benefits of settling an injury (common law) damages claim OUT of court. In doing so we also wish to highlight that in some cases, injured workers may well believe that their case is worth much more than the workcover insurance company is willing to pay, and also believe their case is worth much more than it is actually worth. Indeed injured workers hear or read stories about large settlements and/or court verdicts and may get caught up in the (very expensive) litigation process.
Centrelink pension denied to injured man who spent all his compo settlement within weeks
The following story highlights that any injured worker who receives monetary compensation (eg. settlement) needs to seek sound financial advice before 'spending' their settlement money.
What it means to be awarded $1.3 million compensation for a stress claim
In September 2014, Peter Doulis, a Victorian teacher driven to the brink by unruly students including one who made a flamethrower in class has been awarded around $1.3 million in compensation by the Supreme Court, by means of suing the state government for damages under the negligence/common law. Many 'stress' victims were gobsmacked at the size of the amount in compensation awarded. Let's have a look at what the $1.3 million compensation awarded really means for Mr Doulis (and anyone else in a similar situation.)
Seven deadly sins for litigating injured workers
What have the 7 deadly sins to do with your lawsuit? They are simply easy to remember warnings to litigating injured workers (aka Plaintiffs). We're not trying to save your injured soul, rather your workcover case (i.e. common law claim, any litigation). In other words: if you ignore these seven deadly "sins" you will probably sc*w up your case.
To drop or not to drop the economic loss part of a common law claim
Even when you have been awarded a serious injury certificate in Victoria (or elsewhere) for both pain and suffering and economic (pecuniary/future earnings) loss for a common law claim, your lawyer may advise you to drop the economic loss part of your claim and to only pursue the pain and suffering claim. This brief article explores the potential reasoning for not pursuing the economic loss part and to stay on workcover (weekly payments) instead.

Deeds of release often used in settling workcover cases- what are they?
Deeds of release are often used in settling workcover cases and common law claims between employers (or their representing insurance companies and defense lawyers) and injured workers — but what are they really? In this article, we try to discuss what deed are, how they're written and provide very important tips on their use for injured workers.
Recoveries of money under workcover
We recently received the following inquiry and the following horror story from two separate injured workers, both cases basically revolve around the fact that -yes- Workcover can recover compensation paid to a worker from a third party, where the third party has caused or contributed to the injury occurring. As Carol kindly explained,if you already have an accepted workcover claim and/or common law settlement there is absolutely no point bringing a separate civil damages claim against a third party for negligence/damages born out of the same incident as your workcover claim as you can't double dip and be compensated twice for the same injury/damage/loss.

Being An Empath
Hi friends. It's the Monday after spring break and I am ready for winter to end and spring to begin (one more day). So today's topic is something that I (very) recently discovered about myself. I have always been in tune with other people's emotions. I can't watch violence on TV or in movies because I feel like what's happening to the people in the movies is also happening to me if you know what I mean. I feel other people's pain, sometimes more deeply than my own. If someone around me is upset, I am automatically upset, which I try to offset with some kind of humorous comment. I've dealt with all of this my whole life, and until recently, I didn't know what it all meant. One day, I started looking up things like "why do I feel other people's pain" and "why can't I watch violence on TV" and "why do I feel emotions so deeply". All of these yielded one result: an article about being an empath. I took a quiz on whether I was an empath or not, and the result was basically along the lines of "there's no way you're not an empath". I had found my answer. I'm not weird or too emotional or sensitive. I'm an empath.
What Is An Empath?
So, basically, an empath is someone who has the ability to feel and even absorb the emotions and energies of other people. Empaths are heavily affected by the people around them, and if the energies around them are negative, that can negatively impact how the empath feels and can even be debilitating.
What Is An Empath?
So, basically, an empath is someone who has the ability to feel and even absorb the emotions and energies of other people. Empaths are heavily affected by the people around them, and if the energies around them are negative, that can negatively impact how the empath feels and can even be debilitating.
- Empaths are prone to recognize danger better than other people and often know immediately when something is wrong or risky or dangerous.
- Empaths often heavily feel the burdens of other people, even when it doesn't directly affect them.
- Certain settings and situations can drain an empath very quickly (ex. being in a hospital heavily stresses me out).
- Empaths often go through intense mood swings, feeling down and incredibly depressed one minute and feeling on top of the world the next. When they find a new passion or dream, they get incredibly excited and often go at it with all they've got.
- Empaths are usually highly sensitive people.
- A lot of empaths identify as introverts.
- Empaths are known to be good listeners
- It is common for an empath to have a really big heart and care deeply about everyone around them, and that's often taken advantage of.
- Empaths often express all of their emotions and don't usually have issues talking about their feelings. However, sometimes, they can be the total opposite. In certain situations, empaths are unresponsive and blank, not displaying any emotions at all. It's usually one or the other.
- Empaths are generally the peacemakers. They don't enjoy confrontation, as it creates discomfort in them. Sometimes, empaths will ignore their own needs to solve a confrontation as quickly as they can.
- Empaths are incredibly sensitive to any type of violence or strongly emotional shows or movies. This also includes upsettings news broadcasts. Empaths often avoid viewing anything like this as it can cause them to feel physically ill or get incredibly emotional or upset.
- Finally, empaths are incredibly compassionate. They have warm and sensitive natures that draw people to them.
As I was reading all of this, I felt like I was reading an incredibly detailed summary of my life. I had a deep, personal connection with everything an empath is and suddenly, my entire life made sense. I could never explain to anyone why I couldn't watch sad things on the news or violence on TV, or why I felt everything so deeply with absolutely no in between. Now I know. It's a bit of a burden, feeling this much all the time. If I'm around someone negative, my energy is automatically drained. It often happens suddenly, and if I'm at a party or some kind of social event, I have to immediately remove myself from the situation. I have to be careful about what I watch because it can easily turn from watching a movie or TV show to having a full-on emotional breakdown for basically no reason. I'm either incredibly talkative or completely silent. My entire life, I've been accused of being ultra sensitive. As a kid, I often remember freaking out over seemingly small things and everyone being really confused and telling me to calm down.
"I CAN'T", I wanted to scream. "I WANT TO BUT I CAN'T."
Navigating through this has taken me 20 years and it's been a struggle. I always thought I was just too sensitive and needed to toughen up. But now, I like to think of this as a superpower rather than a burden. Being an empath is not incredibly common, and I'd like to think I've been blessed with the ability to understand what other people are feeling and be able to help them through it. Plus, now that I know I'm an empath, I can navigate through life a little better and understand myself on a whole new level. If you relate to everything I just said, I highly recommend you take a couple of empath quizzes and see if you possess this superpower too.

I was born at the hospital in Arcata and lived in Eureka for the first few years of my life. I think the people at College of the Redwoods in Eureka will be surprised to find out there is no college in Eureka and so will the people 8 miles away at Humboldt State University in Arcata. Eureka and Arcata are kind of like Soldotna and Kenai.

RB Leipzig registered their very first win over Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich on Sunday. They gave a setback to Bundesliga winner with their 2-1 victory as they end their 18 matches unbeaten run. Timo Werner and Naby Keita earned the victory for Leipzig coming back from behind after Sandro Wagner early lead for Bayern Munich.
It was a big game considering Leipzig growing popularity and Bayern's stronghold in Bundesliga, but both sides' managers opted to give rest to their regular players following on to midweek European games. it helped Leipzig to play on level terms with the Bavarians, and they made them suffer.
Yussuf Poulsen almost gave Bayern an early setback coming close to scoring, but Leipzig suffered an early blow with Marcel Sabitzer injury. It forced Timo Werner to come on the pitch little earlier than expected and he might have blamed himself if Bayern would have won this game.
Two minutes of Werner introduction and Bayern lead through Sandro Wagner's goal. He met James Rodriguez's fine cross and head back across Peter Gulacsi. It brought an emergency in Leipzig players to go on the scoresheet. Bruma AND Werner both tested Ulreich before Naby Keita finally managed to level the term.
Leipzig didn't want to make the mistake of last season as they continue to attack in second-half as well. Werner gave the lead to Leipzig in 56th minute latching onto Keita's perfectly-timed through ball. He runs in between Niklas Sule and Mats Hummels and gave a composed finish to Keita's visionary ball.
It finally ends Bayern 18 game unbeaten run and Leipzig find solace in beating them. It took only four Bundesliga meeting for the newly promoted side to beat the Bavarians. They came close last season as well but in the end, they lose 4-5 at their home ground Red Bull Arena. This time they made sure, the won't make the mistake of last season and finally, come up with a victory over the Bundesliga leaders.

In the lead up to Valentine's Day it's only natural to start thinking about hearts, chocolates and flowers - isn't it?
This February Nuffield Health is encouraging residents to think about their own hearts as part of a free heart health event at Glasgow Nuffield Health Fitness & Wellbeing Gyms.
The one day event will give guests the opportunity to learn more about their own heart health, ways to improve it and potential risks to look out for.
Nuffield Health experts will also be on hand to provide details of tests which can help identify heart issues as well as giving free Vo2 max tests which indicate levels of cardiovascular fitness.
Diet and lifestyle choices will also be discussed and how certain conditions contribute to heart disease.
Here Nuffield Health's head of fitness, Chris Foster provides his five top tips for keeping your heart healthy:
1. Don't smoke - Smoking or using tobacco of any kind is one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease.
2. Exercise for 150 minutes per week. Getting some regular, daily exercise can reduce your risk of fatal heart disease and when you combine it with maintaining a healthy weight, the payoff is even greater.
3. Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet can reduce your risk of heart disease. Following a Mediterranean style diet which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and oily fish can reduce your risk of heart disease.
4. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight, especially if you carry excess weight around your middle, increases your risk of heart disease.
5. Get enough quality sleep. Sleep deprivation can do a lot more than leave you yawning throughout the day; it can seriously harm your health.
The event takes place on February 16 at 82, Braidholm Road, Giffnock.

What can We Expect from the Shared Hosting?
The shared hosting, also named site space, is usually used to store and operate the website data. This kind of hosting is to utilize several tiny "virtual" severs that are partitioned from a 24-hour non-stop server, and every shared hosting in this manner owns the complete Internet server to bind with its dedicated domain name.
In general, it is just like abstracting part of the hardware storages from one single computer and then virtualizing massive dedicated computer servers accordingly. Or, we can say the formation of this hosting plan is to virtualize several computers in the original one.
Despite the separated CMOS, hard disks and operation systems, these virtualized "computer server" all operate in peace within the same hardware condition. Moreover, we users could not only initiate the system and software installations, but also can realize the deletions and uninstalls etc. on these computers.
With the high independence, outstanding efficiency and low cost, the shared hosting has been winning the broad attention among the entrepreneurs, which leads to more than 80% of the corporations choose to store their website data on the shared hosting in recent years. In addition, the operation of the shared hosting is also very simple, the direct management via the control panel may definitely smooth the user experience.

Now this time around, I just finished the yellow rice recently and purchased penne rigate during my latest trip to the supermarket. The dish still came out great (the key is timing so everything doesn't overcook) and I have yet to name this dish. My husband and I were throwing out ideas during dinner and came up with a few clever ones. It's simple to just mash the ingredients together and come up with a nonsense word. Or, call upon the Rachael Ray goddess and pick the first letter of each word to come up with a name (ie: extra virgin olive oil is now EVOO thanks to the goddess chef herself). After much deliberation, we decided to keep it simple and mash up the common ingredient of pasta and paella.
So, I share with you pastella! The ingredients in this dish can also be used to make paella, just swap out the penne for yellow rice.
1 box penne rigate, or any thin penne
1 recipe for white sauce (see below)
3 links chorizo, cut 1-inch thick
1/4 cup shrimps (deveined, skin off, tail off, and make a slit on the thick end half way to form a butterfly shape)
5 stalks celery, cut in half then diced
1 cup mushrooms, cut into bite sizes
1 onion (only used half then diced)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 TBSP butter
olive oil
red pepper flakes
black pepper
STEP 1: Prepare pasta as directed. When draining the pasta, reserve the water for you will need it later on (trust me).
STEP 2: While pasta is cooking, lightly drizzle olive oil on a pan over medium heat. Cook the chorizo pieces for 6-7 minutes, or until cooked. Do not burn the meat, but cook until there's a little charring. Once cooked, pour all contents (including oil that it was just cooked in) into a bowl and set aside for later.
STEP 3: In the same pan over medium heat, melt 1 TBSP of butter then add the garlic. Before garlic turns brown, add the shrimp and cook until it starts to curl like a butterfly. Once cooked, pour all contents (including oil that it was just cooked in) into a bowl and set aside for later.
STEP 4: Cook the white sauce in the same pan. Follow directions below. Once sauce has mixed together, add onions, celery and mushrooms. Mix well in sauce.
STEP 5: Add cooked pasta. If the sauce dries up, add a cup of pasta water (reserved water when draining the pasta). Add remaining chorizo and shrimp. Optional: For proportion purposes, cut the cooked chorizo further into smaller pieces. You don't want the chorizo and shrimp to overpower the flavor since they're bigger pieces.
STEP 6: Add pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix all together.
4 TBSP butter
6 TBSP flour
2-3 cups milk (depending on consistency of sauce)
STEP 1: Melt the butter over medium heat in a pan. Don't over burn where it becomes to turn brown.
STEP 2: Add the flour 1 tablespoon at a time. After adding 3 tablespoons, whisk the butter and flour then add the rest. Mix everything and allow to bubble while consistently stirring.
STEP 3: Add the milk slowly. Keep stirring so that the milk blends with the butter and flour mixture. If the sauce is too thick, add more milk. If the sauce is too thin, add more flour. Just eyeball it.
Serve warm and enjoy!

(Ash Wednesday celebration aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp.)
Ash Wednesday comes this week, so I'll get ashes on my forehead and start doing my Lenten routines — along with folks around the world.
That won't include the usual fasting: I'm past the 18-to-59 age requirement for Catholics in my region, and diabetic to boot. We're called to holiness, not stupidity; common sense applies, or should; and I'm putting a 'resources' link list at the end of this post.1
Fasting, Prayer, and Almsgiving
Lent is a time for penance; which involves fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Actually, any sort of penance involves those three items. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1434-1439)
That doesn't sound like much fun, so why do it? I'm a Christian, I've been baptized, so my sins are washed away and I'm good to go, right?
Not quite. It's a bit more complicated.
First of all, I do not think sin a handful of activities I either don't enjoy, can't participate in, or actively dislike.
Sin: Original and Otherwise
(From NASA, via astrobio.net, used w/o permission.)
Sin is what happens when I decide not to do something I should; or decide to do something I know is bad for myself or others, and do it anyway. It's an offense against reason and truth: and God. (Catechism, 1849-1864)
"SIN: An offense against God as well as a fault against reason, truth, and right conscience. Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God. In judging the gravity of sin, it is customary to distinguish between mortal and venial sins (1849, 1853, 1854)."What I should do is Love God and love my neighbor, and see everyone as my neighbor. (Matthew 5:43-44; 22:36-40, Mark 12:28-31; Luke 10:25-27, 29-37; Catechism, 1825)
(Catechism, Glossary, S)
It's simple, anything but easy, and I've said that before. Often (September 27, 2015; April 12, 2015; October 12, 2014)
I think I'm a sinner and live in a fallen world — again, that doesn't mean what some folks assume it does.
The universe is basically good, and so are we — basically. (Genesis 1:26-27, 31; Catechism, 31, 299,)
What went wrong is that the first of us listened to Satan, ignoring what God had said. Then Adam tried blaming his wife, and God, which did not end well. (Genesis 3:5-13)
That was a very, very long time ago — and we've been living with the disastrous consequences of their wrong choice ever since. (Catechism, 396-412)
Humanity is still made "in the divine image," but the harmony we had with ourselves and with the universe is broken: so loving ourselves, others, and God is a struggle. (Genesis 1:27; Catechism, 355-361, 374-379, 398, 400, 1701-1707)
"ORIGINAL SIN: The sin by which the first human beings disobeyed the commandment of God, choosing to follow their own will rather than God's will. As a consequence they lost the grace of original holiness, and became subject to the law of death; sin became universally present in the world. Besides the personal sin of Adam and Eve, original sin describes the fallen state of human nature which affects every person born into the world, and from which Christ, the 'new Adam,' came to redeem us (396-412)."
(Catechism, Glossary, O)
(From Thomas Cole, via the National Gallery of Art and Wikimedia Commons, used w/o permission.)
I received the Holy Spirit at baptism, entering the life of the Church, and starting my trek to God's kingdom. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 782, 1213-1284)
Baptism cleaned the slate, removing original sin and whatever personal sins I'd accumulated to date; making me "a new creature." It didn't, however, shield me from consequences of living in a world that's seriously out of harmony. (Catechism, 1262-1266)
It certainly won't keep me from dying, at which point I get a very serious interview with our Lord: my particular judgment, a final performance review. (Catechism, 1021-1022, 1051, 1814-1816)
After that — I have no idea how long, which is fine by me — there's the closing ceremony we call the Final Judgment, we see what Creation 2.0 is like, and I've been over that before. (November 29, 2015; November 23, 2014; April 19, 2015)
Working Out My Salvation
"10 11 So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. 12If I'd never faltered in loving others, always loved God with all my heart and mind, and unfailingly walked the path of righteousness: I'd be a character on some none-too-believable story.
"For God is the one who, for his good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work."
(Philppians 2:12-13)
We've had two people like that so far, I worship one of them, and the other is the woman who volunteered for a high-risk mission, two millennia back. (December 21, 2014; April 3, 2011)
Some Saints were mostly 'saintly' throughout their lives, and some weren't. They're Saints because they exhibited "heroic virtue" to the end. (Catechism, 828)
On their way to Sainthood, some of them were — well, a lot were like me, sort of. St. Augustine of Hippo comes to mind. Not that I'm in his league, and that's another topic.
I can't 'work my way into Heaven.' I rely on our Lord for salvation. I can't 'believe my way into Heaven' either. I must act as if God matters. (Catechism, 430-451, 1814-1816)
"Indeed someone might say, 'You have faith and I have works.' Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.About that Philippians quote, like I've said before:2 fear of the Lord is not being scared silly of God. It's more like respect. (Catechism, 2144)
"You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble."
"For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead."
(James 2:18-19, 26)
Ashes and Adoration
The ashes on my forehead are a good reminder that it's the start of Lent, and an outward sign of repentance.
But the real work happens inside: a "conversion of the heart, interior conversion." (Catechism, 1430-1431)
That's where fasting, prayer, and almsgiving come in. They're ways to fix my relationship with myself, God, and others. (Catechism, 1434-1439)
Like I said, conventional fasting isn't an option for me: apart from the micro-fast, which isn't an official term, before receiving the Eucharist. (Catechism, 1387)
For the last several years I've added something to my daily routines during Lent. It's not quite 'fasting,' but the change in schedule does mean I give up time that I'd use for activities I enjoy more. It's a sort of "voluntary self-denial." (Catechism, 1438)
This time around, I'm adding three hours a week to exercising and another two at the Adoration chapel down the street. It's hardly the sort of "sackcloth and ashes" thing Daniel 9:3 talks about, but it's a start.

BWMA - campaigning for inch-pound industries
and consumer interests
The Legal Campaign
Birds Eye downsize to Metric packs (5 December 2007)
Food producer Birds Eye has reduced the weight of frozen food packs in the latest 'gram scam'. Packs which used to show both imperial and metric weights have been rounded down to metric sizes with no reduction in price. Below are scans of Birds Eye packaging that show the metric downsizing process.
Birds Eye Garden Peas; used to display both metric and imperial units ("454g 1lb"):
In 2006, metric/imperial labelling became metric-only "454g":
But in December 2007, the quantity was downsized to "400g":
Test purchases by BWMA show that prices have remained the same: at Sainsburys, the price charged for metric bags of 400g - £1.06 - was the same as for bags of 454g the week before. Thus, the price has increased in real terms by 12%

38% of teens street race, 97% think it is dangerous.
Posted by lapearce on July 16, 2009
Sometimes there are crashes that really stick with us. One of them for me is a street racing crash that happened in 2006. Two 18-year-old boys in fast cars with female passengers were racing at high speed down a city street at night.
The cars crested a hill making the new BMW M3 get light. When the weight settled back down the car went into a spin. It hit a wall on the side of the road with so much speed, that it flipped over and landed 30 feet away. The driver and one of the passengers were killed, the other passenger was badly injured. The driver's parents were later sued by the surviving girl's family and the driver of the other car was driving with a suspended license because of five tickets.
Tragedies like this happen all the time. They happen because teens think bad things won't happen to them. That's the only way I can explain the disconnect between nearly 100 percent of teens thinking street racing is dangerous, but nearly 40 percent doing it. They think that how they are doing it is safer than anyone else, because of xy&z. But it's not kids, it's not.
Movies and video games that glorify street racing is one part of the problem. Street racing deaths increased after the Fast and Furious movies came out. The video game Need For Speed where kids can customize and race their cars against others on the street sold 5.3 million copies last year alone. Another problem is the lack of legal drag strips for teens to use instead of the open road. The biggest cause, however, is a lack of maturity, experience and the inability to recognize risk. Teens are prewired to do things like this. In a lot of ways, they can't help it.
What is the answer to the problem? I think a lot of it is in communication. Only 57 percent of teens said they would ask the driver to stop if he/she was street racing. Talk to your new drivers about the risks, and tell them if they EVER feel the driver is doing something dangerous to not be afraid to ask them to stop. Being labled a wuss is better than being dead. Not being a passenger of a teen driver is also a good way to reduce the chances of street racing too. A lot of times the new driver is trying to show off to passengers, which is why (I feel) street racing is more likely to happen with passengers.
As for the street racing component, pressing the dangers is important, but I also think it is vital to give teens another outlet. Take them to the drag strip, sign them up for autocrosses. It gets the speed out of their system. Some people worry that it will make them more likely to be dangerous on the road, but in my experience, it takes away the craving for speed and helps expose the danger of the activities on the open road.
Street racing will never go away. For as long as there have been cars there have been street races. I heard a great old tune the other day called "My Hot Rod Lincoln" written by Charlie Ryan in 1955. The last line is:
They arrested me and they put me in jail
and called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said, "Son, you're gunna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln!"

Projects → Languor (Tiredness Symptom Checker)
DataArt has developed an AndroidWear app that helps to check the tiredness level of the user by analyzing voice input or the results of a simple pattern matching game. Usually a person's attention becomes weaker as tiredness grows, and it can negatively impact performance in a wide range of activities. The application utilizes voice a recognition engine to check if a user is speaking pattern phrases correctly. It gathers statistics for variety speech pattern phrases and gives result and advice as whether the user should continue to work or have a rest. Another kind of test is based on matching a textual description with the shape and color of a drawing and provides feedback. Both tests gather statistics from the AndroidWear smartwatch (a huge variety of them are now available in market) and sends the results to a smartphone to store them in a database and analyze this statistics later, for example, for choosing the most productive time for planning some intellectual work according to the user's usual biorhythms or workday schedule.

Okay let's start with my week in a complete recap. This felt like the longest week known to mankind. I don't know if it was the fact that is was my first full week back at work or if it was because I had so many crazy things going on at work from planning programs to meetings. Anyway with that being said, I am happy that tomorrow is my day off and I can relax and prepare for the school semester to start on Tuesday. Gahhh I can't believe school is already back in full swing. I think that this semester will be better because now I know what to expect. Other than that, I'm hoping that this week doesn't feel as intense as last week.

Dear Martin (5 Stars): This was such an amazing book although I will admit it was hard not to compare certain aspects of it to THUG. What I will say is that it offers such a new and important perspective to YA literature. If you haven't read this but you've read THUG definitely check it out. Can I Touch Your Hair? (4 Stars): This was such a great picture book. I didn't know anything about it until one of co-workers told me to read it. It's filled with amazing poetry and a diverse look at two different racial groups. Under the Udala Trees (4 Stars): Such a beautiful book about the LGBT community in Nigeria. It's such an important book and it definitely made me look at issues faced by this community on a global scale. Food Wars Vol. 20 (4 Stars): Another great installment to this amazing series. I can't say much about it because it's the 20th volume, but you definitely need to pick it up.

. . . . Maybe even 2% . . . or more?
Research suggests that up to 87% of home owners have not reviewed their mortgages for over 5 years.
Talk to a mortgage broker that has access to a wide range of lending products from numerous lending institutions. The more services your broker or advisor can offer, the better the solutions might be for you.
Why do people need to review their mortgage?
Whenever a rate changes, whether it be due to an APRA (Australian Prudential Regulation Authority) capital alignment requirement, or an RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) rate movement announcement, there are 2 new interest rates generated by the financial institutions.
¨ One rate is for their existing clients;
¨ The other rate is for new clients/new loans.
That "New Client" interest rate is always lower than the rate for their existing clients.
Over time the gap therefore widens between existing and new clients' interest rates.
Therefore, 5 to 10 years on, whilst your lender may have been competitive when you originally obtained your loan, the story may be vastly different now.
Talk to a Mortgage Broker now.
Who knows . . . The best deal could even be with your current lender . . . . but at the better, 'new client' rate.
Your circumstances may have changed since applying for that loan. Your mortgage broker of advisor should be focusing on finding the best deal for you, one that suits your current circumstances, goals and life-stage.
What would it mean to you to save 1% or more on your mortgage?
Recently a client saved 2% . . . .
On a $300,000 loan that can be as much as $6000 interest saving per annum.
What could you do with $6000 extra next year?
A holiday? Pay off the loan faster?
. . . What difference would that make to you?
Find out today!
The first 50 review enquiries will receive a Free, No Obligation review on their home loan, to see just how much money they could be saving now.
Book your review now – Let's see if we can put you into a better position.
Phone Doreen on 0418 190 677 or John on 0432 379 203 to arrange a review.
Organise that review now and you are entered into the draw to win one of 2 vouchers:
1 x $200 and
1 x $100
For individual or business tax, or accounting, advice.
Keep in mind that your mortgage broker, or advisor, has an obligation to be able to demonstrate that you would be put into in a better position, in order to for them to be able to recommend re-financing your existing mortgage. *

self portrait
in the absence of any other inspiration i thought i might as well copy him.
i am the softest mother in the world
i am a wife, daughter, sister
i am unapologetically grey haired
i am best friend to nobody
i am friendly to many
i am a lover of food in most forms at all times
i am a doula
i am developing as a businesswoman
i am (apparently) an eccentric
i am, i guess, if i had to label it, a socialist
i am a disinterested housekeeper
i could be generously described as a rustic cook
i am contradictory
sometimes i am funny
i am a feminist
i am the church morning tea lady, despite my strenuous wishes not to be
i am the play group kitchen helper where i help little and get distracted by conversation much
i enjoy film and will very happily go to the movies alone
i am, after decades, finally confident enough that i wouldnt embarrass Jesus by saying i am a Christian
i am repetitively, maybe annoyingly, an advocate of, evangelist for and avid consumer of chiropractic treatment
15 comments:
Love it.ReplyDelete
And cannot see any contradictions in that list. None.
I wish more people thought about whether they discredit religion by claiming to be religious.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Why, when you delete a comment, does Blogger tell everyone that it was you who deleted it so that they can wonder what the hell you said that was so inappropriate that you shamefully hurried back to erase it? Sometimes, I think it better to leave the stupid comment even though the only thing wrong with it was that it was posted under the wrong post. This brings me to another question: am I the only one who sometimes (twice anyway) posts comments to the wrong post?ReplyDelete
Well, great, now stupid Blogger doesn't show that it was me who deleted the stupid comment. It did a moment ago, so why not now? Is it trying to make me look like a moron? Don't answer that!ReplyDelete
snow, i usually delete the deleted comments for the sake of streamlining but i suspect that would be even m ore galling :)ReplyDelete
it's obviously a conspiracy
have a nice day
I can't see anything noticeably eccentric about that list. All perfectly respectable statements. Unless you're carefully hiding all the truly eccentric tendencies.ReplyDelete
I like it that you're unapologetically grey haired.
Kia ora Kylie...ReplyDelete
I think it adds up to fine sum. You are very cool. Hope all is well.
the thing about eccentricity is that i think i'm normal!
i guess that the grey hair, left politics and interest in natural therapies is enough to make me eccentric in some quarters

Corinth Today News Editor
Kimberly-Clark has announced the proposed closure of another manufacturing facility as part of its Global Restructuring Program, but there is still no information on whether the Corinth plant will be impacted.
Kimberly-Clark announced Thursday its proposal to close its Fullerton, Calif. manufacturing facility, which employs about 330 people.
This was the third manufacturing facility that Kimberly-Clark has proposed closing as part of the restructuring effort. Kimberly-Clark plans to reduce its global workforce by up to 5,500 jobs and close or sell about 10 manufacturing facilities.
The other two plants that Kimberly-Clark has proposed closing are in Wisconsin and employ about 600 people.
Kimberly-Clark has about 160 company employees in Corinth and another 140 contract employees.
Any final decisions on the facilities in Fullerton and Wisconsin "will be announced by the company after appropriate consultation and/or negotiations with the union and other labor stakeholders," said Kimberly-Clark spokesman Terry Balluck.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has proposed increasing certain tax credits from 7 to 17 percent in an effort to keep the two plants in the Fox Valley area open.
Kimberly-Clark did not request an incentive package from the state of Wisconsin, said Balluck. He added that Kimberly-Clark will continue to be one of the largest employers in that area of Wisconsin and that Neenah, Wisc. will remain the headquarters for the company's North American consumer business.

Goats for Health and Income
The Need
In Sub-Saharan Africa, the number of people suffering from starvation, under-, and malnutrition is estimated at 239 million, and this figure could increase in the near future. Additionally, this is the only region in the world where poverty is expected to increase.
A key challenge for farming communities in rural Africa is access to protein sources and sustainable income generation. One of the ways to ensure that farmers have the opportunity to build secure livelihoods is to provide them with the means to generate enough income to help support and feed their families.
The Goats for Health and Income project will help farmers improve their health and income by providing goats to farming households in Malawi, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Uganda. Goats have been identified as rich protein and nutrient sources, as well as income generators.
Goats are often the only asset possessed by a poor rural farm family in Africa. They can be bred and sold to other village members. In times of crop failure or family illness, goats can be sold for food or critical medicine.
If farmers build up a herd of goats, they can sell them to buy oxen for ploughing or an expensive milking cow (that produces even more milk). During times of drought, selling one goat could buy enough grain to feed a family of five for two to three months.
Each farmer will receive 2 female goats and training on animal husbandry. The Goats for Health and Income project works on a pay it forward principle and the first two kids will be passed on to another farmer to spread the benefit. CPAR plans to distribute over 100 goats this year.
Start Your Own Campaign
You can raise funds for the Goats for Health and Income project by starting your own personal fundraising campaign.
For example:
$1000: supply a herd of goats to a community
$400: provide 2 families with 4 goats
The Result
In rural Africa, goats are a great source for income and nutrition. Your campaign will help to enable farmers to break the cycle of poverty and improve the quality of life for their entire family.

Bring ID or risk fees for dumping
RESIDENTS could be slugged additional fees for dumping landfill if they don't carry identification under a new rule by the North Burnett Regional Council.
The issue arose numerous times since free dumping was introduced for residents with council concerned many are disposing rubbish without living in the region.
It has been reported that since the free dumping was established in 2016, landfill at Biggenden has increased more than twice the size, from 288 tonnes to 587 tonnes.
Mayor Rachel Chambers said it cost ratepayers a lot of money.
"The cost of waste disposal is quite high and those customers who may not be local are being subsidised by ratepayers," Cr Chambers said.
Cr Chambers urged those utilising the services to carry some form of identification or risk being charged for the facilities.
"Residents should be prepared and take proof of residency on every trip to their local waste management facility, or be ready to pay $6 per wheelie bin, $7 for a sedan or $11 for a utility or trailer," she said.
North Burnett Regional Council is one of the few councils which offers free waste disposal for domestic waste up to 1m cubed, making it an attractive option for the community.
Fees and charges for waste disposal will be reviewed later this year in preparation for the 2018/19 financial year.

Abstract Photogrammetry and Terrestrial laser scanning TLS are the two primary non-contact active measurement techniques in geology. Integrating TLS data with digital images may achieve complementary advantages of spatial information as well as spectrum information, which would be very valuable for automatic rock surface extraction. In order to extract accurate and comprehensive geological information with both digital images and TLS point cloud, the registration problem for different sensor sources should be solved first. This paper presents a Generalized Super 4-points Congruent Sets G-Super4PCS algorithm to register the TLS point cloud as well as Structure from Motion SfM point cloud generated from disordered digital images. The G-Super4PCS algorithm mainly includes three stages: 1 key-scale rough estimation for point clouds; 2 extraction for the generalized super 4-points congruent base set and scale adaptive optimization; and 3 fine registration with Iterative Closest Point ICP algorithm. The developed method was tested with the columnar basalt data acquired in Guabushan National Geopark in Jiangsu Province, China. The results indicate that the proposed method could be used for indirect registration between digital images and TLS point cloud, and the result of which would be prepared for further integration research.

Day 3: Gang all here, trip memories …. Day 2: Whalen a wonder …. Day 1: Burgmann has answers on T12
By Leandro Vignoli
A three-run home run by Nicolas Favaro led B.C. Orange to a thrilling 8-7 comeback victory over Futures Navy in Tournament 12 play on Friday afternoon at Rogers Centre.
B.C. took an early 4-0 lead in the third inning as Favaro hit a deep fly ball to right field, the fourth home run of the tournament.
"I was one who hit one over here last year so I hoped I could get one," said Favaro. "It was an awesome feeling."
Futures Navy put together had a comeback in the bottom of the third.
Ryan Kula hit a single to get things started, Kurt Dawkins' single to centre field put runners on first and second, and Cooper Davis got a walk before Adam Hall hit a triple on a line drive to score all three.
Hall then came home on a fielding error by third baseman Tanner Rempel to tie the game. Reese O'Farrell made it 5-4 with a single off Kyle Ross on a ground ball.
The five runs given up by B.C. Orange in the inning were more than they had allowed in total during the entire tournament (four).
Ross left after four innings giving up five runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five.
"Today we missed a couple of opportunities in scoring situations, and our defence had a couple of mistakes," Favaro said. "Other than that it was just baseball, it was completely fine, just another game."
The game was a rematch in the tournament as B.C. Orange had won 10-0 during their first encounter on Tuesday.
"They threw a lot more strikes than the game before," said first baseman Dakota Curry. "They hit their spots a lot better, it was harder to put the bat on the ball "
After a fielding error and a walk in the sixth, Jesse Mycock Faure singled to give B.C. a 6-5 lead.
They scored two more thanks to a Rempel double off Navy reliever Garner Spoljaric (on the pitcher's birthday) that scored Jordan Dray and Hayden Jaco to make it 8-5.
After scoring one more run in the seventh, Navy's Luke Van Rycheghem had a chance for his second walk-off hit in the tournament, but was struck out by reliever Robert Hemer to end the game.
B.C. improved its record to 3-0-1 while Navy dropped to 1-3-0, eliminating them from a shot at the playoffs.
Futures Navy finished play against Atlantic Grey in the last game for both clubs later Friday night, while B.C. Orange faces Ontario Green on Saturday at 8 a.m., looking to reach first place in Pool A.

Today every business is looking for a computerized solution to manage their finance. Why shouldn't they? having a computerized financial system makes managing business transactions and bookkeeping very easy and saves precious time which otherwise may be wasted updating records in many different books and ledgers. With computerized system when you update one record, the business accounting software calculate and change every other record related to that record. You don't need to update every other record affected by one record manually.
In today's list, we have gathered 5 best accounting software applications for small businesses. Some of these small business accounting software applications are desktop based, while most of them are cloud based system accessible using an internet browser.
Intuit Quickbooks
Quickbooks online is the most popular online accounting software with over 1 million customers around the world. It has an easy to use and attractive interface so you don't need to be Pro to use Quickbooks. Even if you get stuck somewhere, there are over 20000 Quickbooks advisors who can help you out with your problem. It comes with advanced features such as inventory tracking, creating budgets, adding payroll etc. It comes with more than 40 reports that you can run in a very quick manner. Some of the main reports that you can run with Quickbooks are Profit and Loss Statement, Balance Sheet Report, and Statement of Cash Flows.
Xero is relatively new in the accounting space but it does not mean it's a bad choice. With its easy-to-use interface and advanced features, Xero has made a name for itself very quickly. Xero has over 700,000 small business subscribers who are enjoying the services of Xero. The interface of Xero resembles that of Quickbooks, so if you have been using Quickbooks but want to change to a new system, Xero is a great fit for small business. Just like Quickbooks Xero also has over 16,000 certified advisors in case you face any problems with Xero. It lets you include payroll processing for up to 5 employees in their basic product and up to 10 in the premium edition.
One of the many advantages that Xero has over Quickbooks is that it allows an infinite number of users to access the software. It offers three subscription levels starting from $9 up to $70 per month. All the three levels allow for an unlimited number of users to access the software.
Zoho Books
Zoho Books is another user-friendly online accounting software made specifically for small businesses. It lets you send invoices to clients and start accepting online payments. Zoho Books also lets you keep track of your expenses. Connect Zoho Books to your bank account to get a real-time update on your cash flow and monitor transactions. Just like Quickbooks and Xero, Zoho Books also offers rich reporting features such as Profit and Loss Statements, Balance Sheets, and Cash Flow Statements.
Sage 50c Accounting
Unlike Quickbooks, Xero, and Zoho, Sage 50c Premium Accounting is a desktop application for small business accounting. Though it is a desktop accounting software, it also let you store and share your financial data with other accountants in your organization using a Web-based- Sage Drive. Sage 50c consists of three products: Sage 50c Pro Accounting priced at $192 per year and support only one user. Sage 50c Premium Accounting costs about $228 per years which supports up to 5 users. Sage 50c Quantum Accounting is the flagship product priced at $948 per years with support for up to 10 users. Each of these products offers full accounts payable and receivable functionality as well as integrated payroll, inventory management, and reports.
AccountEdge Pro
AccountEdge Pro is a desktop accounting software quite similar to Sage 50c. It is a pretty old software which has been in the market since the early 90s. AccountEdge Pro offers a comprehensive list of features such as tools to manage your company's contacts, sales, purchases, inventory, time billing, and payroll. Recently a cool set of new features has been added to the software such as lead management, Web Pay, new profitability reporting, user-interface enhancements, and many others.
AccountEdge Pro also offers to access and submit data via a browser-based site and a mobile app but with limited functionality. AccountEdge Pro is the most expensive solution of the list starting at $399 for a single user. If you want to add new users, you can do so by paying $249 for each new user. You can also purchase a pack of 5 users for a discounted price of $999.
For small businesses, I really recommend subscribing to one of the online business accounting solutions such as Xero, Zoho, or QuickBooks which are cheaper and provide a good value for money. If you want a more comprehensive desktop based solution you can choose between the AccountEdge Pro or Sage 50c.

Day 48: Midnight Cowboy
"John Wayne! He's a cowboy! You calling John Wayne a fag?"
Holy crap this is a depressing movie. I remember seeing it when I was in high school, but this is not a movie for high schoolers, even sophisticated ones such as myself at the time ;-) I distinctly remember not liking it, but there are a lot of films I didn't like as a teenager that I now love and cherish: The Graduate, Citizen Kane, Lawrence of Arabia, and now, most certainly, John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy.
Joe Buck (Jon Voight) is a naive young man who leaves a small town in Texas to travel to New York City with aspirations of becoming a hustler. He's heard stories of how there are thousands of rich old ladies in New York just itching to pay young studs such as himself for sex. Upon arriving in New York, he moves into a hotel and sets out to make his fortune. Things don't necessarily go as planned, especially after his first encounter with a woman named Cass (Andy Warhol fixture Sylvia Miles) who is appalled that he would ask her for money.
Broke and desperate, Joe encouters Enrico Salvatore "Ratso" Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman in one of the greatest screen performances of all time), a crippled degenerate who offers to hook him up with a pimp. Needless to say, he ends up conning Joe, dumping him off with a religious fanatic, and now Joe is officially destitute. He's kicked out of his hotel room, and decides to hang around the area where men are looking to pick up prostitutes. In a heartbreaking scene, he's picked up by a young man played by Bob Balaban, whom Joe discovers, after the fact, doesn't have any money. In yet another example of Joe's naivete and genuineness, he is unable to follow through on his threat to beat the crap out of the man.
He hooks up again with Ratso who offers to let him squat in his abandoned flat with him, and offers to be his pimp. Like seemingly everything else that these two lost souls attempt, this proposition falls flat on its face. Joe & Ratso struggle to survive, Joe on his endless optimism and Ratso on his dream of moving to Florida and living the high life. Joe, however is haunted by memories of his past in Texas. From what I was able to glean, he was in love with a girl in town who had a history of sleeping with a lot of men, all of whom didn't like the idea of her not sleeping with them anymore, so one night, they dragged the lovers out of their car and raped them both. When the police arrived, the girl fingered Joe as the lone assailant. He also had a rough childhood, rife with abuse and abandonment.
Voight's performance is so incredibly good and filled with nuance. You can feel his broken heart and his endless desire to make something of himself and your heart breaks for him with every dead end he hits. If he's the beating heart of the film, Ratso is the film's soul. Ratso sees a lot of himself in Joe, which is why I think he takes him in. He sees a man much like himself who doesn't give up and lets the sheer determination to achieve his dream sustain him. The film is a love story in the truest sense of the word. It's about finding a soul mate in this world and helping that person achieve their dreams.
The film was revolutionary in 1969 when it was released, and it explores taboos that still exist in today's United States. Our country's puritanical roots are still the foundation that drives people's attitudes towards sexual mores and this film flies boldly in the face of that. Waldo Salt's screenplay is brilliantly attuned to the language of the street. There's so much stylization in the film's style, much of it clearly indebted to the films of Andy Warhol, but the dialogue is rich with deep, real characterization. It's a delicate balance, but the film strikes it perfectly. All three Oscars won by the film and these men were thoroughly deserved.
The fateful bus trips that bookend the film strike a metaphorical chord that films have been aping in the years following the film's release. I'd point to the door knocks that bookend Sideways as a recent example of this. I know this film didn't invent the technique, but it's almost certainly the gold standard for this trope.
This is a film for dreamers and lovers and there is so much hope in its ending, in spite of the fact that it's incredibly sad. The hope that Joe Buck brought with him to New York City has not been crushed by his never ending failures. It's alive and well, and a new life awaits him. Our heart continues to break for him and for Ratso, but our hope that he will make it in this life will never die. It's a beautiful film in its ugliness. It doesn't pull any punches, it doesn't gloss things over, but its heart beats with a sense that anyone and everyone can achieve their dreams in the end. That's a lesson we all should take to heart.
