But some tried-and-true assets will move at the deadline no matter what, like players with expiring contracts, players in need of a change in scenery and Thomas Vanek. (More on him in a bit.)
Here are 35 players to watch at the trade deadline. We've grouped them by rentals and players with term, with pending restricted free agents grouped in the latter category. All salary and contract information comes from our friends at Cap Friendly, unless otherwise noted.

$1.8 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
Hey, are you interested in a pending free agent Ottawa Senators forward who is going to cost you significantly less than Matt Duchene and Mark Stone? Then you're probably feeling a Dzingel run down your leg for an exciting 26-year-old who is having a career year (in a contract year). That cap hit means every team looking for offense on the wing -- from the Bruins to the Islanders to the Sharks to the Avalanche -- will be in the market here. Dzingel is your prototypical "guy who seems like he won't cost much in a trade who someone ends up overpaying for because several teams coveted him" type of deadline player.
13 G | 12 A | 25 Pts | 40 games
$1.75 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
Ferland was likely gone well before the Hurricanes added Nino Niederreiter at $5.25 million annually through 2022, but that deal probably cemented it. Ferland is a physical winger with offensive pop, and he is a pain in the kiester to play against. With that upside and that cap hit, it's hard to imagine the Canes won't pull a low first-rounder out of a thirsty contender for him.
7 G | 9 A | 16 Pts | 36 games
$4,583,333 AAV, UFA this summer, five-team no-trade list
Though there's always a chance the Devils go on another two-month tear to make the playoffs, that's hard to envision given the trajectory of this group. They have several assets they can move -- from veteran forward Brian Boyle and defenseman Ben Lovejoy to potentially goalie Keith Kinkaid -- but Johansson might have the most value despite two years of injury issues and a drop in production. He can still be a fine offensive complement on a line with better players, and he could be had for a third-round pick and/or a prospect.
4 G | 9 A | 13 Pts | 40 games
$1.75 million AAV, UFA after this season, eight-team no-trade list
According to Cap Friendly, Maroon's no-trade clause goes from a full one to a partial eight-team one on Feb. 1, which makes him seem like either a man who knows he is portable, or a man who wants to be. Maroon has been playing with Ryan O'Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko. Is that to keep him around, as the Blues reportedly consider themselves buyers, or is this a pump-and-dump thing?
11 G | 31 A | 42 Pts | 50 games
$4.750 million AAV, UFA after this season, full no-trade
Oh, the irony in Nyquist having an outstanding season in a contract year, considering that's how he landed the no-trade clause that'll potentially keep GM Ken Holland from moving him at the deadline. But if he opts out, there are going to be a great number of teams looking to add his offense to their top six. The Oilers have been mentioned with frequency, and with their first-round pick reportedly in play, they could ante up.
12 G | 7 A | 19 Pts | 42 games
$3.75 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
A tough one to figure out. On the one hand, the Ducks like him and he's the kind of offensive player who should bolster their attack in their desperate pursuit of a wild-card spot. On the other, he's a 28-year-old pending UFA and might he seeking a deal a shade too rich for the Anaheim cap. (Thanks, unmovable veteran contracts!) He should be coveted as a rental if available, given his versatility and solid playoff numbers (39 points in his last 44 postseason games).
15 G | 8 A | 23 Pts | 48 games
$3.975 million, UFA this summer, 12-team no-trade list
The term "last piece of the puzzle" gets tossed around a lot at this time of the season, but Simmonds would certainly complete the picture for a lot of teams. He has a net-front presence offensively. His 67 penalty minutes are indicative of his toughness. He can play top-six minutes. And he's a left wing, which everyone seems to be chasing at the deadline. The Bruins seem like a natural fit here, and they're worth mentioning when it comes to cost: Would Simmonds fetch the kind of bounty that Rick Nash did from the Bruins last season -- a first, a roster player and a prospect (along with a seventh and what was left of Matt Beleskey)?
22 G | 28 A | 50 Pts | 49 games
$7.35 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports that the Senators have talked to Stone about a deal between $8.5 and 9.5 million AAV for eight seasons. If he opts not to return, he rockets up the board for available wingers. Stone should be mentioned in the same Selke Trophy-contender breath as two-way stars like Patrice Bergeron and Anze Kopitar -- he's that good, except he does it on the wing. He'd easily fetch a first-round pick and a blue-chipper in return. Unlike with Matt Duchene, I think whoever snags Stone does so with an eye toward retaining him, rather than renting him.
10 G | 13 A | 23 Pts | 42 games
$3 million AAV, UFA this summer, no-trade clause
Seeing Vanek available at the trade deadline is like seeing those McDonald's arches on the road during a long drive: Familiar, comfortable, but maybe not the thing you really need. Sure, he was effective in 19 games for the Blue Jackets after last trade deadline, with 15 points ... until he had just two in six playoff games, both coming in Game 1 against the Capitals. You know what you get: Some streaky even-strength offense and a defensive liability. Complicating matters: As we noted in our team-by-team deadline primer, Ken Holland gave Thomas Vanek -- a player who exists to be traded at this point in his career -- a no-trade clause.
8 G | 16 A | 24 Pts | 35 games
$4.5 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
Zuccarello's down year offensively can be easily chalked up to the uncertainty of this season, his last as a Ranger. But few wingers available at the deadline have his knack for creating offense on their own. He's a veteran asset who could bolster a contender, and this middling season probably means he could be had for a second-rounder and a prospect.
5 G | 6 A | 11 Pts | 42 games
$3 million AAV, RFA this simmer, no trade protection
The talented, 23-year-old Austrian winger's numbers are way off from his career averages as he enters arbitration-eligible restricted free agency this summer. He's a top-nine forward for the Capitals, and I assume they'd like one back in any possible deal.
4 G | 5 A | 9 Pts | 38 games
$925,000 AAV, RFA this summer, no trade protection
Trading away a 20-year-old winger is specious at best. But all indications are that Puljujarvi is in play, for a similar young forward in need of a change. His recent audition on Connor McDavid's line is intriguing on several levels: Is it a pump-and-dump to ramp up his trade value, or are they really trying to track the progress of a talented, but stunted, player?
8 G | 6 A | 14 Pts | 39 games
$3 million AAV, UFA this summer, eight-team no-trade list
Not a question of "if" but of "when." Brassard has been a major disappointment for the Penguins since they acquired him from the Senators; they've tried him everywhere in the lineup to no avail. There's chatter that both the Dallas Stars and the Columbus Blue Jackets, the latter of whom drafted him No. 6 overall in 2006, are interested.
20 G | 26 A | 46 Pts | 40 games
$6 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
A game-changer for someone. If he remains with Ottawa, he'll likely sign an eight-year contract worth between $8-9 million annually. He would provide a contender with a dynamic offensive center, but he would certainly cost a first-rounder and a significant prospect. The wind is blowing toward Duchene remaining with the Senators, but all bets are off until pen hits contract. One thing to consider: Duchene has played in eight playoff games in his 10-year NHL career.
10 G | 23 A | 33 Pts | 39 games
$5.175 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
To the surprise of no one, Hayes is having his best season on average in the NHL right before it's time for that big extension. The 6-foot-5 center has been good for the Rangers, but their future up the gut lies with Mika Zibanejad and Filip Chytil, rather than with Hayes. Getting a young pivot like this at the deadline is increasingly rare. Whoever acquires Hayes will part with a first-rounder and potentially an NHL-ready piece. On a good, deep team (like Boston), he would be a perfect third-line center rental. But we have a feeling teams are going to be after him to then keep him around for a few years. The Rangers have scouted the Avalanche to the point thatlocal media thinks there's a fit.
5 G | 7 A | 12 Pts | 32 games
$4.1 million AAV, UFA in 2021, no trade protection
The 26-year-old is like the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story" in that he's large (6-foot-6) and tantalizing and FRA-GEE-LAY, appearing in 32 games this season (of a possible 48) after finally hitting 82 for the first time in 2017-18. He can play center or wing, and a change in scenery could do both he and the Panthers good. He could potentially hit 50 points with friendlier zone starts and when healthy, but that's the caveat: when healthy.
10G | 11A | 25 Pts | 49 games
$5,272,727 AAV, UFA in 2022, no trade protection
Carter has plenty left in the tank and is two years removed from a 32-goal season. His contract has "three seasons and a buyout" written all over it. But it's well-known around the league that Carter wants some say over his next destination. If that sounds like something petulant, please ask a Blue Jackets fan what an unmotivated and rainy-faced Jeff Carter does for your team. Or don't. Even as the Kings look to hold a fire sale, Carter should fetch a first-rounder and a good prospect as a starting point.
9 G | 17 A | 26 Pts | 44 games
$5.125 million, UFA in 2020, no trade protection
The Blues are too close to the wild cardto call it a lost season, but at some point, GM Doug Armstrong is going to have to make the same call he made last year when he shipped out Paul Stastny at the deadline: Buyers or sellers? Schenn is a player with value beyond this season, as he's signed through 2020. Stastny fetched a first, a fourth and a prospect. What can Schenn bring back if Armstrong decides to sell again? The Bruins will be kicking the tires; but watch out for the Golden Knights and assistant GM Kelly McCrimmon, who has ties with Schenn back to the WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings.
2 G | 8 A | 10 Pts | 44 games
$5.4 million AAV, UFA this summer, no-trade clause
Earlier this season, it looked like J-Bouw was done. His return from hip surgery was disastrous. He looked like a defensive liability and was getting scratched for the first time in his career. But as the deadline approaches, he's getting back into form, having played six straight games with over 20 minutes in ice time. Assuming he waives his no-trade clause to head to a contender, Bouwmeester is a veteran hand who could bolster someone's bottom pairing. Could there be some salary retention from the Blues if it meant a better return?
2 G | 9 A | 11 Pts | 49 games
$812,500, UFA this summer and no trade protection
Remember in 2017, when Detroit defenseman Brendan Smith was suddenly a deadline darling, leading many to exclaim, "Who?" Jensen is that guy this year, as he hits every trade board after 180 career games of relative anonymity in Detroit. He's had a terrific season after seeing his ice time increase to 20:45, with a plus-2.18 in expected goals. He's 28, he's right-handed and he's one of the most affordable options in terms of cost and cap that you'll find at the deadline. If he's available, that is. Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press doesn't see it.
2 G | 4 A | 6 Pts | 31 games
$3,166,666 AAV, UFA in 2020, no-trade clause
Daley, 35, is the quintessential depth defenseman for a contender. He can play different roles. He can play 20 minutes per night. He has two rings. Problem No. 1: He's been injured with a lower-body ailment, although he's due back next month. Problem No. 2: Another Ken Holland no-trade clause, which means Daley can choose to stay or where to go.
6 G | 10 A | 16 Pts | 48 games
$5.75 million AAV, UFA in 2021, no trade protection
Coach Rod Brind'Amour told me it's on him to "figure out how to get more out" of the 25-year-old defenseman. With due respect to Rod the Bod, that might be a job that falls to Hamilton's next coach on his next team. A right-handed defenseman with that kind of offense (and no trade protection) is a tantalizing asset to dangle for a team that's loaded on defense but needs to add scoring to its top six.
4 G | 17 A | 21 Pts | 50 games
$4 million AAV, UFA in 2021 and no trade protection
Martinez is older (31) and not as good as the Kings' other defensemen potentially up for sale, but he's also signed through 2021 and would cost less in a trade -- he's not going to fetch a first-rounder.
4 G | 17 A | 21 Pts | 50 games
$4 million AAV, UFA in 2020 and no trade protection
If the Kings are having a garage sale, Muzzin is like a 4K television they're hoping nets them something around face value. Simply put, the 29-year-old is one of the best defensive defensemen in the NHL this season, and he could be a 22-minutes-per-night, first-pairing guy on the right team. He has term and a tremendously good cap hit. He'd net a first-rounder and more, because if he's available, there's going to be a market for him.
3 G | 8 A | 11 Pts | 39 games
$4.025 million AAV, UFA in 2024, no trade protection
As with Hamilton, the Hurricanes are going to have to eventually deal from their position of strength. Though he's overshadowed by Jaccob Slavin as a defensive defenseman on the Canes, Pesce has a lot of fans in NHL front offices, in particular because of his contract. Carolina would likely not want to move him, but if the right young forward becomes available, things could change.
0 G | 6 A | 6 Pts | 37 games
$2,733,333 AAV, UFA in 2020 and no trade protection
Not just a tremendous Scrabble score, Pysyk can get you around 18 minutes per night as a steady depth defenseman. Once a possession monster, many of his metrics are on the negative side, including expected goals (minus-0.41). But that's a great cap number for a defenseman with another year to go on his deal. And the Panthers need to keep shuffling this deck.
$7.425 million AAV, UFA this summer, no-move clause
He told the Jackets months ago that he would waive his NMC for the right deal. But the problem with a Bobrovsky-deadline deal is one of potential suitors: Which teams have enough of a need in goal to ante up what it would take to land Bob, when they could just sign him in the summer? And if the answer is "a contender looking to solidify their crease" ... well, he hasn't exactly been a playoff standout. A confounding situation, but our money is on GM Jarmo Kekalainen getting something before losing Bobrovsky for nothing in the summer.
$5,291,666 AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
That's All-Star Jimmy Howard to you, buster. He's had an incredible season on a bad team, and there's no question that some contenders would love to add him as goaltending insurance for the right price. But the bottom line for us is that Howard probably returns as Red Wings goalie next season, even if he is moved at the deadline. They love him ... and they don't really have much in the way of other quality options in the organization.
$4,166,667, UFA this summer, 10-team no-trade clause
After the Oilers inked Mikko Koskinen to a three-year extension, that was that for Talbot. They've tried to move him, but he's wielded his no-trade clause already, according to The Fourth Period. Again, there aren't many contenders that need help in goal. There are even fewer that need Talbot, given the season he's had.
3 G | 14 A | 17 points | 48 games
$4,833,333 AAV, UFA in 2020, has a 15-team no-trade list
Again, the Hurricanes are going to have to give to get at some point. Faulk has another year on his deal at a friendly hit, he's right-handed and he's 26 years old. He also has trade protection, unlike everyone else on the Carolina blue line, and it's entirely possible that's been a factor in him not being dealt previously. It's also entirely possible the Hurricanes like to have a veteran presence like Faulk on a young roster and aren't looking to move him unless (1) the deal overwhelms them, and (2) the team is not on his no-trade list.
19 G | 34 A | 53 Pts | 46 games
$6 million AAV, UFA this summer, no trade protection
Simply put: If the Jackets trade Sergei Bobrovsky, their other pending UFA, they have 24-year-old Joonas Korpisalo ready to take over. If the Jackets trade Panarin, there is not another Panarin on this roster. It would go beyond an admission that he's not re-signing: It would be a resignation that this team doesn't plan to compete in the postseason, because they won't without him. So here's saying they hang onto him and pray they convince him to stay. But if the writing on the wall is a billboard saying "I'm Gone," expect a contender to step up large -- a first-rounder, a blue-chipper and more -- for the right to rent this 27-year-old star.
$5.8 million AAV, UFA in 2023, no trade protection
Conventional wisdom is that this is a trade the Kings would pursue in the summer, and that trade partners might wait until then to make this kind of commitment to a goalie with term. But one thing to consider: Two Stanley Cups, a .922 save percentage and a 2.23 goals-against average. Those are Quick's playoff numbers, and no goalie available at the deadline comes to close to matching that résumé. But what on earth would the cost be for him?
5 G | 14 A | 19 Pts | 37 games
$6.5 million, UFA in 2020, no-trade clause
This seemed possible for a moment, when the Blues looked like they were in a free fall in the West. But they've stabilized, which means trading their 29-year-old captain seems a lot less likely ... even if it might make sense in the long term. That no-trade clause does, however, complicate things.
30 G | 14 A | 44 Pts | 48 games
$5.725 million AAV, UFA this summer, no-move clause
It's almost inconceivable that Skinner would leave Jack Eichel's wing after this career year, but no one's really sure what the future holds for him. If Skinner tells the Sabres he's done, do they sell sky high or keep him for a wild-card push? If he somehow becomes available, he rockets to the top of the left-wing options for contenders.
15 G | 18 A | 33 Pts | 48 games
$3.5 million AAV, UFA this summer, 10-team no-trade list
Staal is third in points (33) and fourth in average ice time among forwards (17:37) for the Wild. If they're in the hunt for a playoff spot, it's hard to imagine Staal won't be a part of the chase. But if they falter, GM Paul Fenton has no loyalty to the 34-year-old center. Last time Staal moved at the deadline, it was for two second-rounders and a prospect. He'd have value for a contender as a rental.

I racked my brain but couldn't think of any song reference for Southampton. Any ideas?
With Southampton we start the back half of the tour - just 4 dates to go now. Last night was at the Nuffield Theatre located on the Southampton University campus. A great theatre - about 500 capacity (and another sell-out) but feeling really intimate.
Rob has media interviews with the Tear Times (from Tearfund - see the last post) and Inspire magazine. We also all had chance to have some dinner with Delirious? (the band) and also a Pastor based here in Southampton called Billy Kennedy - see New Community, who is working with Oasis and Steve Chalke, working with some failing schools.
We head off now to Cardiff for tonight's event.

text: Prime Minister Youssef Chahed, left, and his supporters have formed the new party after falling out with the ruling party [File: Mohamed Messara/EPA] Political leaders formerly associated with Tunisia's ruling party have announced the formation of a new movement that will compete in this year's general elections. The formation of the new party, called Tahya Tounes - Arabic for "Long live Tunisia" - was announced in the coastal town of Monastir on Sunday. "Our goal will be to have a strong party that will lead economic reforms and return hope for frustrated Tunisians," Zohra Idriss, a lawmaker and member of the new party, told the Reuters news agency. "We seek to lead the nation and compete with the Islamists," Zohra added. 181202090020299 Many of the party's adherents are former members of President Beji Caid Essebsi's ruling Nidaa Tounes, a loose movement hastily brought together following the 2011 overthrow of longtime autocrat Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 and united predominantly in their opposition to the Muslim Democrat Ennahda party. Nidaa Tounes' early successes and its ability to secure a plurality of seats in Tunisia's 217-member parliament in 2014 was quickly overshadowed by infighting within its ranks. Disagreements over whether President Essebsi's son, Hafedh Caid Essebsi, is fit to run the party led to mass defections that have left the parliamentary bloc with a mere 44 seats, from an initial 86. MP Walid Jalled claims Tahia Tounes will be organized "horizontally" - without a president or secretary general and only a general coordinator...https://t.co/GwoBM8ocy3 — Sharan Grewal (@sh_grewal) January 27, 2019 190111105510482 In September, 92-year-old Essebsi announced the end of his party's alliance with Ennahda in a televised address over the latter's support to Prime Minister Chahed. With both presidential and legislative elections expected in November, some analysts believe Essebsi's decision to end his alliance with Ennahda was aimed at setting the beleaguered party apart from its political rival. Analysts say the staunchly secular Nidaa is trying to capitalise on the current anti-Chahed sentiment in the wake of an unpopular reform programme that includes cutting down the public wage bill and letting go of lossmaking state companies. Some, however, say the president has been angered by Chahed's crackdown on corruption, which has touched officials from the Ben Ali era and prominent businessmen who support Nidaa Tounes. While Chahed did not attend the party's inauguration on Sunday, thousands of his supporters joined former Nidaa Tounes members, including Slim Azzabi - President Essebsi's former chief of staff - in marking the occasion. "You've come from different [political thought] currents and parties but what unites us is bigger," Azzabi said. "All of us belong to the same democratic and modest family," Azabbi said, adding that the new party will "not be one of leaders and names," a veiled reference to the Essebsi family which has been accused of nepotism and attempting to impose a hereditary transfer of power.

Statutory Demand
A statutory demand is a very effective method of getting paid where the debtor is a company.
A statutory demand must be issued in the form prescribed under the Corporations Law and be supported by an affidavit in the correct form by the creditor or one of it directors.
The statutory demand gives the debtor company 21 days within which to pay or compromise the debt, and if it does not do so the company is presumed to be insolvent. This then allows the applicant to immediately apply to the Supreme Court for an order for the winding up of the company, which will be difficult to resist.
If your company has received a statutory demand contact us urgently. We only have 21 days within which to prepare an application to Court to set it aside. The Court rules and the forms are quite complex and procedures must be properly followed to be effective.
While a statutory demand is an effective debt collecting procedure, we urge great caution in using it for any debt where there is a genuine dispute. Such disputes will inevitably end up in the Supreme Court which is a very expensive jurisdiction if the amounts involved are relatively small.
Because of the dramatic effect of a statutory demand, there have been a great many court cases. At P.M. Lee & Co. Lawyers we are familiar with those cases and decisions and they provide us useful guidance in using this procedure, and helping you to avoid the pitfalls that await the unwary.
At P.M. Lee & Co. Lawyers we will help you use this effective business tool as part of your debt recovery armoury.
If you have received a statutory demand contact us urgently for assistance.
Call us today on +61 3186 6666 or email email@example.com for any enquiries.

Counting the numbers for health information workforce census
People working in fields relating to health data, health information or health knowledge are being urged to take part in a census to help identify workforce shortfalls and training and career pathways, and finally define who and what the health information workforce actually is.
Organised by well-known health workforce researchers Kerryn Butler-Henderson from the University of Tasmania and the University of Melbourne's Kathleen Gray, the census is thought to be the biggest of its kind in the world in terms of breadth and depth, and has inspired a similar exercise for the New Zealand workforce later in the year.
The census, which opened on May 1 and closes at the end of the month, is an attempt to quantify and qualify the health information workforce (HIW), something that is a difficult thing to do, the researchers say. There are a few occupations that fit the common definition but others that, while involving health data, mainly involve technical or clinical roles.

Top landmarks in Johannesburg
Find out more about Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa - an enormous, sprawling urban wonderland that overflows with culture, history, and nightlife. Glitzy high-rises spear the glimmering skyline, and idyllic parks and gardens stipple the buzzing city streets. Culture-fiends can explore mesmerising art galleries and museums that tell of the region's fascinating history, and families can visit crazy theme-parks and the fun-filled zoo. Splurging shoppers, meanwhile, will go wild for the spread of upper-end malls and boutiques.
Things to see
Start your bright Johannesburg day at the Apartheid Museum. This modern museum complex tells of the tumultuous history of apartheid in South Africa, through inspiring films, info-graphics, and archival artefacts - all centred around the legendary story of Nelson Mandela. After you've experienced this touching museum, get another culture-fix at the Johannesburg Art Gallery. Behind the stately museum's Neo-Romanesque exterior, you'll find 15 wide white halls lined with fine 18th and 19th century European paintings, and a large collection of regional contemporary work. There's also a flower-flecked sculpture garden onsite. As the afternoon rolls around, head to the Johannesburg Zoo. Wandering this green-washed 55-acre site, kids will go wild for the sleek Siberian Tigers, goofy gorillas, and rare white lions. If you are travelling with little ones, cap off your day at Gold Reef City, a quirky amusement park that mixes roller-coasters and kid-friendly science museums, themed around South Africa's 19th century gold rush.
Hotels in Johannesburg
As such a huge city, it's no surprise that the hotels in Johannesburg can cater to all types of taste and budget. Urban explorers looking for an inexpensive no-frills place to bed down should stay in one of the cheap 2-star hotels, which offer cosy rooms, free parking, and handy tour and ticket assistance. For some mid-range accommodation, check out Johannesburg's 3-star hotels. Here you'll enjoy spacious air-conditioned rooms and laid-back in-house bar lounges. Alternatively, treat yourself to some city luxury at one of Johannesburg's many 5-star hotels, which boast concierge service, pristine outdoor pools, and full service spas.
Where to stay
Johannesburg is made up of many different districts and neighbourhoods - each with their own distinct vibes. Many will want to stay somewhere within the Central Business District - Johannesburg's Downtown core. The Market Theatre area is perfect for culture-fiends, while the university area - called Braamfontein - is ideal for late-night party-goers, as it sings with bouncing clubs and bars. But if you're after an upper-end urban getaway, Johannesburg's affluent Northern Suburbs are for you. Here, you'll find ritzy 5-star hotels, and plenty of stylish shopping malls and designer stores.
How to get to Johannesburg
It's easy to get to Johannesburg - simply glide in through South Africa's azure skies to O. R. Tambo International Airport, an immense hub of international aviation that serves flights from destinations in every continent. The airport is based 35 kilometres from central Johannesburg, and there's plenty of ground transportation. You can either take the cheap Metro train, the speedy Gautrain, or jump in an official taxi outside the station. Some hotels also offer airport pickup. Alternatively, you can hire your own car at the airport - this will come in handy for getting around the city, as the public transport system is limited.

The thought came like a very pleasant slap in the face. I was sitting in an auditorium at the Melbourne Convention Centre last week, as part of Game Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP, to everyone who's ever spoken it aloud).
Obsidian Entertainment's Chris Avellone was discussing in detail the design of Fallout: New Vegas, one of my favourite games. The story structure has always fascinated me: discovering little pockets of narrative while wandering the Wasteland was largely responsible for the 170-odd hours I sank into it. It seemed to be the most appealing element for a lot of players, so when Avellone placed narrative at the bottom of the production priorities list, I was surprised. I immediately jumped onto Twitter to "voice" that, and got involved in a discussion on the topic with game developers and writers I respect.
The slap came then, in the sudden realization of how engaged I was with the industry.
It wasn't the first culture I'd tried to get involved in. During my second year of uni, while undertaking a Professional Writing course, I had a short story published in the annual student-produced anthology. At the book launch at Readings on Lygon Street, I got my first real taste of the culture of Melbourne's amateur fiction and poetry circles.
As passionate as I was about the craft, I just couldn't connect with the community surrounding it. I had a conversation that night with a man who spoke to me like he was sitting in a high-backed armchair by the fire, with a glass of brandy and a cigar. We exchanged details of the novels we were each working on: his was about a father who struggles with drug addiction after the death of his daughter, who he'd accidentally killed with his car. Mine was a kid's story about pens, pencils and crayons battling for supremacy of the desks in an office. I wanted to write silly things, and not many others saw the value in it.
My stereotype-perpetuating, exaggerated descriptions aside, it felt to me that the community wasn't really welcoming, as a whole. I appreciated what it was, but it wasn't for me. I think worst of all was the subconscious assumption that I needed to keep my other passion quiet: after all, those video game things can't produce anything of artistic merit, right?
My (long-winded) point is that five years on, I've found a community that is incredibly welcoming, and actively encourages the kind of frivolity I was looking for, while still taking their medium seriously.
Events like GCAP are fantastic for indulging my (not-so-)inner gamer, writer, debater, ponderer and fun-haver, while meeting like-minded folk. Everyone is passionate about their own fields, and it's enlightening to mingle with people from schools as varied as animation, programming, environment and character design, sound design, writing, journalism, marketing, business, architecture, and various sciences.
The exciting results of this mash-up of skills was demonstrated first thing Monday morning, with a showreel of Australian-produced games and animations. This four-minute video makes you appreciate the work coming out of the local industry, and might inspire you to contribute to it – fitting, considering the theme of this year's GCAP is "Inspire".
The Victorian Parliament Member for Prahran, Clem Newton-Brown, took to the stage for a couple of announcements, including a new funding program from the Federal Government for independent start-ups, the details of which are to be released in the next few weeks.
To the delight of locals (and maybe to the annoyance of interstate visitors), he suggested that Victoria, especially Melbourne, might be considered the hub of the games industry in Australia. As a local, it definitely feels that way: between GCAP, the Freeplay Independent Games Festival, the Games For Change Festival, ACMI's Game Masters exhibition, and a particularly active chapter of the Independent Game Developers Association, there's always something gamey on. And now international industry eyes will be turning towards Melbourne next July: rumours had been flying around, but that morning Melbourne was officially declared as the host city for PAX Australia in 2013 and 2014.
Unfortunately, the news was leaked onto Twitter about twenty minutes earlier, so the surprise was somewhat spoiled. Still, it's a great time to be a Melbournian.
With the entree of announcements and feigned surprise out of the way, the two-day main course of GCAP began with the keynote speech, as thatgamecompany's Robin Hunicke discussed the journey of Journey. Sadly I'm yet to try the game, but it's on several mental lists of mine, including "games I need to play" and "reasons I regret choosing Xbox 360 over Playstation 3".
Journey was already pretty high on those lists, but Robin's passionate discussion and general outlook definitely bumped it up a few slots. As evident in the final product, emotion and character were the focus of the design process, and while it wouldn't suit every project, there was no doubt about its effectiveness. She wove a fantastic sense of whimsy and playfulness through the presentation, and by the end I think I developed a little (entirely professional, mind you) crush.
The afternoon session, Chris Avellone's design master class, stood as an interesting counterpoint. It was still an informative talk, communicated with a lot of enthusiasm, but the focus was of a more technical nature. As mentioned earlier, Avellone had a tendency to prioritize the gameplay over narrative and emotion – and that's great. Taken together, Avellone and Hunicke demonstrated that the development processes can vary from studio to studio, and the resulting games can be equally enjoyable, while mechanically very different.
This encouragement of both approaches to development was evident all through GCAP. For every technical class in the Unreal or Unity engines, there was a discussion on character creation or atmosphere, or the culture of the medium.
Arguably, the drinking and game-playing at ACMI that night constituted a lesson in the culture of the community, but Sheri Graner Ray's discussion on diversity the next morning was a little more direct. To be honest, it's not something I've given a lot of thought to, but the session went a long way towards changing that. I was already of the mindset that it should be obvious to people that diversity is good, but Ray backed it up with facts and figures: it's literally good for business, on the whole. I know, that's a rather unromantic way to look at it, but if that's what it takes for those who can't already see the importance to consider branching out when hiring, well, that can't be all bad.
It's often touted that almost 50% of gamers are female, but on the other side of the controller, only 11% of those making the games are female. There's an obvious discrepancy there, and potentially a huge, untapped market.
The trap though is not to sacrifice the quality of the product for the sake of diversity. It won't help anyone to hire unqualified people purely based on their nationality or gender. The focus should be on enticing those people to develop the skills in the first place.
Looking around the room with a newfound perspective, I noticed quite a diverse range of faces – I mean, amongst all the white, 20-something, male faces of varying degrees of beardedness. There's still a fair way to go, but it's getting better.
And that's why we need you. Whoever you are, whatever you do, if you have the interest, you have something to bring to the table. Get involved in your local IGDA chapter, and attend these kinds of events.
Come say hi, we're more welcoming than the first friendly town in an RPG.

Between Saturday, Feb. 2 and 10 a.m. Friday morning (Feb. 8) there were 12 collisions called in to the Quesnel RCMP where damage exceeded $1,000.
Of those 12 collisions, there were no major injuries and only passengers from two vehicles were taken to hospital with very minor injuries, according to Sgt. Chris Riddle of the Quesnel RCMP.
Sgt. Riddle says most of the incidents involved only one vehicle, and clarified that damage to someone's headlights, for example, can cost more than $1,000.
The roads have been icy since the beginning of the month, resulting in higher-than-usual accident rates.
Emcon, the company responsible for clearing the highways, has taken to Twitter, encouraging motorists to drive to road conditions, not the posted speed.
Incident North of Quesnel now clear.
Please drive to road conditions, NOT the speed limit sign.
— Emcon Quesnel (@EmconQuesnel) February 8, 2019
Last night Emcon also tweeted that they were preparing the roads for a calcium chloride application today, which is a chemical used to soften and remove the ice on the road, and which they say will allow the sand to stick to and embed itself into the ice.
A second extreme cold warning is in place again today, as a cold arctic airmass has settled over the B.C. Central Interior. The combination of cold temperatures and wind are expected to cause a wind chill value of -40C overnight.
The wind chill is expected to ease by Saturday afternoon.

Down, down they go: Emerging central banks deliver most rate cuts in a decade (Saxplayer00o1)
Interest rate moves by central banks across a group of 37 developing economies showed a net fourteen rate cuts last month – the largest number since policy makers ramped up measures to kickstart economic growth in the wake of the financial crisis.
What would it take to pay off Illinois' debt? (Saxplayer00o1)
That leaves the state with $194.2 billion in unfunded liability. With an estimated state population of 12.7 million people, it would cost each person roughly $15,291 to pay off the state's unfunded liabilities.
Positive yields ahoy! Investors hoover up European junk bond issues (Saxplayer00o1)
With much of the European bond market now in negative-yielding territory, investors are being forced down the credit spectrum – allowing the likes of Smurfit Kappa and Thyssenkrupp to price deals at levels rarely seen before.
Packaging firm Smurfit Kappa caught the eye with its plans to sell 750 million euros ($835.80 million) of eight-year bonds at 1.5%, some of the lowest yields clocked in the European junk bond market for a new issue, particularly for one of such a long maturity.
Central banks are locked in currency wars they cannot win (Saxplayer00o1)
Yet, if the domination of negative yields is sustained, companies will surely focus on bond markets rather than equity markets. Why, when you can be paid to borrow, would you look to public offerings instead?
This would create a unrecognisable environment: the pipeline of investible public companies could essentially dry up. Unviable companies would be granted extended lifelines, propped up by high valuations solely based on record low debt rates.
Low interest rates are compounding the big problems facing pension funds (Saxplayer00o1)
Public pension plans are underfunded — with an average funded status of 72.1% across the 100 largest public pension plans, according to the 2018 Public Pension Fund Report by actuarial consulting firm Milliman. While the funded status has marginally improved from about 71% in 2014, the dollar value of underfunding has increased from approximately $1.13 trillion to about $1.14 trillion in that time.
Negative Interest Rates Threaten the Financial System (Saxplayer00o1)
In other words, the fractional reserve banking system is leveraged to interest rates. This works when rates are positive. Loans are made and securities bought because they will generate income for the bank. In a negative rate environment, the bank must pay to hold loans and securities. In other words, banks would be punished for providing credit, which is the lifeblood of an economy.
Rich people are hoarding cash, and wealth managers are getting frustrated (Adam)
Wealth managers do not like this trend, for understandable business reasons. Swiss banks in particular, where interest rates are negative at -0.75 per cent, have been passing on these rates to clients with high cash balances. Credit Suisse and UBS had held fire, but recently said they would have to start passing them on, too. If rich people do more with their money — investing in private equity or other alternative assets, buying property or even regularly trading equities, for example — wealth managers make more money from them.
The Last Act of the Human Comedy (Don R.)
And yet, no more than 3% to 5% of the population need be engaged to challenge despotic power. This means, first, naming and accepting reality. It will not be easy. It means grieving for what is to come, for there is certain to be mass death. It means acting, even if defeat is certain, to thwart those who would extinguish us. Extinction Rebellion plans to occupy and shut down major city centers around the globe in October. This is a good place to start. By defying the forces of death, we affirm life.
Australia Wants Two-Year Prison Sentences for Paying More Than $10,000 in Cash (thc0655)
In Australia, they want to make it a criminal act with a penalty of 2 years in prison for purchasing anything with more than $10,000 in cash. Australia is really going off the deep end. They are desperately trying to eliminate all cash and are forcing people to have only bank accounts so they can tax them as they like. This ensures that when there are bank failures, they can just confiscate the people's money to save the bankers. Australia began as a penal colony, and they seem to retain that idea that the people are really criminals in their minds and are not entitled to their own assets. This also explains why non-Americans are starting to hoard US currency around the world.
Gold will be explosive, unlike anything we've seen says Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra (Herman J.)
"I think we're in the third and final phase of the gold market that's started in 2001, and this will be the most explosive phase for gold," Giustra told Kitco News.
Tesla Just Made a Huge Announcement That May Completely Change the Auto Industry. Here's Why It's Brilliant (Thomas R.)
Even if Tesla held fast with their decision not to use this data in connection with its insurance offering–and they'd be crazy to do that–what's to prevent other automakers from doing this down the road?
Of course, I completely understand why Tesla doesn't yet indicate it will use this treasure trove of data. Just because the technology is there, doesn't mean people are ready for it.
Putting the 'nuclear coffin' in perspective (newsbuoy)
Runit Dome, which is located on Runit Island—one of 40 islands that make up Enewetak Atoll—was built in 1977 as a temporary measure to contain some of the radioactive material left behind from the bomb explosions, some of which were one thousand times more powerful than those that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The U.S. Army bulldozed more than 100,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil and debris into a bomb crater and capped it with hundreds of 18-inch-thick concrete slabs. From a Google Earth perspective, the massive dome looks like something out of science fiction, and completely out of place against the expanse of paradise around it.

Top Features
Charming apartment on highly desirable Rue Cler open air market street in the 7th.
Once the most elegant residential district of Paris, the 7th arrondissement is quintessentially Parisian. It is home to the Eiffel Tower, many embassies, and close to the Musée d'Orsay and Musée Rodin. Despite its many attractions, there is a feeling of peacefulness and open space in this neighborhood of tree-lined. The closest metro station is École Militaire.
Located on the 6th floor, the one bedroom apartment offers lovely views of Paris and the the Invalides' dome, good light and distance from the noise of the street below, while the building elevator makes for easy access to the famous cobbled Rue Cler below.
One of the pleasures of staying in an apartment in Paris is to be able to walk to the market to buy your food as Parisians do. Rue Cler is a pedestrian-only market street and is lined with bakeries, fromageries, patisseries, crêperies, and wonderful restaurants. Considering its lively location, the apartment is surprisingly quiet. It is also centrally located, and from the apartment guests will be within walking distance of the Eiffel tower, St Germain des Prés and Champs Elysées. The neighborhood is very safe and lively. As Rick Steves says, "If you wish to learn the fine art of living Parisian-style, this area provides an excellent classroom. And, if you wish to assemble the ultimate French picnic, there's no better place".
Appartement Claire's living room is comfortably furnished, with a sofa bed that can sleep two extra guests. The kitchen is well-equipped with closet for storage in the bedroom and an extra sink for washing up in the morning when the bathroom is occupied. There is one bathroom, with a shower over tub affixed to the wall, wash basin and toilet.

Reviews for Claire Apartment
A.F.August 31, 2015
We just returned from our two weeks in London and Paris. We adored, simply adored the Claire apartment. The street lined with endless cafes, cheese shops, bake shops, wine shops, and fruit stands was amazing. The location was terrific, walking distance from everywhere or the metro a block away. We couldn't wait to get up in the morning, cross the street and have fresh croissants and coffee and then we couldn't wait to come back at night and eat in one of the cafés and have crepes to finish off a perfect day. Thank you for arranging a driver to take us to the apartment and for all your advice. We are ready to plan our next trip and or course want to stay right at the Claire Apartment again.

Lace Pirate Ship
Make a splash with this freestanding lace pirate ship -- complete
with a Jolly Roger flag. The perfect addition to your pirate-themed
decor, Christmas tree, or a fun gift to your best mate! These quick
and easy instructions will get your fleet of menacing ships ready in
no time.
To craft your freestanding lace pirate ship, you will need:
Begin by stitching the
six pieces of freestanding lace onto water-soluble stabilizer using 40
wt. rayon thread for best results.
Once you're done stitching, rinse and dry each piece completely
(here's more on stitching freestanding lace).
Don't let your pieces flop! Use spray starch and an iron to stiffen them up a
bit. I sandwiched my pieces in between a piece of scrap fabric while
pressing them.
Start by hot gluing
your pieces together. I began with the tip of the ship, lining up the
flat edges together. Hold until dry.
Set your rear window perpendicular to the base of the ship with
the hot glue, hold in place until dry.
Next, glue the hull together, aligning the back window in between
the two side pieces.
Glue up the two sides of the base onto the hull and your tiny
piece is beginning to look like a real ship.
Next, take your small
deckhouse piece and glue both sides to your ship, centered above the
three open circles in the hull.
Optional: Use paint or a permanent marker to match your mast
stick with the rest of the ship. In this case, I painted mine black.
Finally, for the crowning piece - the Jolly Roger flag. I used a
0.5 inch wide wooden stick, cut to 3.5 inches tall for the mast.
Give your flag extra dimension by carefully gluing the edges closer
together on the stick.
Insert the base of your mast through the hole in the deckhouse
piece, and use a tiny dot of hot glue in the bottom of the ship to
hold it in place. Make sure to hold the piece upright until the glue
is done setting.
There you have it! A beautiful lace pirate ship, ready to set
sail for the high seas.

Australia concluded China was behind hack on parliament
Australian intelligence determined China was accountable for a cyber-attack on its national parliament and 3 largest political parties before the overall election in could, 5 folks with direct information of the matter told Reuters
Australia's cyber administrative body – the Australian Signals board (ASD) – over in March that China's Ministry of State Security was accountable for the attack, the 5 folks with direct knowledge of the findings of the investigation told Reuters.
China's Foreign Ministry denied involvement in any style of hacking attacks and same the net was packed with theories that were exhausting to trace
When investigation and determinative the character of on-line incidents there should be full proof of the facts, otherwise it's simply making rumors and smearing others, promise labels on folks indiscriminately. We would wish to stress that China is additionally a victim of net attacks," the Ministry same in a very statement sent to Reuters

Top 5 Purchases I Made in February
Hey, everyone! We're already well into March, but I'm still reveling in all the amazing finds I discovered in February! These are my top 5 picks for last month and I've been getting a TON of use out of all these items already.
1. Newsboy hat
The newsboy trend has blown up, but like all trends, it will soon subside, likely next season. To get in on the fun, I bought this $8(!!) plain black newsboy cap. I think it's cute and I don't feel bad about spending a ton. This is also a piece I'll keep for when the trend dies and comes back around years later, fashion is cyclical!
I took the train to cozy town and I am LIVING in this sweater, guys. It's SO SOFT! It's a little shorter than I would like, but that's nothing that layering can't fix (hello, spaghetti-strap tanks). Such a steal at $20, too (similar products are $40+).
3. Rimmel ScandalEyes eyeshadow stick
If you saw my post on eyeshadow sticks, you know that Maybelline's version of this stick was a dud. I had never bought anything from Rimmel, so I took a chance with this purchase and WOW it paid off! This stick was about $4 and doesn't crease or budge at all, unlike some of my more high-end products, grr. This is such a good buy, I highly recommend!
4. Vlog tripod
If you're wondering how I filmed my vlogs, I did it with this trusty tripod. I can't afford to drop $700 on a Canon G7X, so for now, I'm just using my iPhone and this $10 tripod. This is a great option for those who are on a budget. If you're not a vlogger, you can definitely use this tripod to take shots of yourself for photoshoots.

I've been experimenting with collagen for the past month or so- supposedly it's good for your skin! It's a different kind of skincare than I'm used to but I'm diggin' it. I'll be doing a demonstration of how to use this collagen powder in my next YouTube video, dropping later TONIGHT! Stay tuned 💫 . . . . . #collagen #collagenpowder #amazonfinds #amazonpurchase #foundonamazon #amazonbeauty #februaryfavorites #collagendrink #skincareblogger
A post shared by Emily Polner | NYC Blogger (@norepeatsorhesitations) on
Taking collagen (in powder or pill form) is supposed to help your skin appear youthful as you continue to age. While I can't say I feel or see a difference yet, given I've only been using this for a month, it can't hurt! I like to add my collagen powder to tea or coffee (a cold smoothie is probably optimal). You can see a full demonstration of the powder in action in the video below.

Makoto Fujimura's latest solo exhibition, "Silence and Beauty" is a deeply resonating and soulful work that is perfectly placed within Waterfall Gallery. Focusing on the silence of suffering, Fujimura employs the ancient Japanese traditional painting style "Nihonga", with a refreshingly modern approach. Fujimura writes, "I am simply trying to paint, using mostly 17th-century Japanese materials, what cannot be captured in photographs or digital representation".
Fujimura is one of the leading contemporary artists that deal with intersection of faith and art. His artwork represents a care for the "soul" of culture through beauty and creativity.
About the Exhibition
For the major exhibit of his recent paintings at Waterfall Mansion, Fujimura selected several pieces on which he worked while writing the book, including the new "Silence" and "Silence and Beauty" paintings, as well as "Walking on Water," which he painted in response to the catastrophic tsunami on March 11, 2011 that took many lives in Japan. The "Silence" series is directly influenced by Shusaku Endo's masterpiece, but it is also inspired by the acoustics research done by his father, Osamu Fujimura, one of Bell Labs' voice- recognition pure research scientists in the '70s. His father noted, then and now, that gaps in reduced, "segmentalist" data fields miss a great deal of the nuance of human speech. Fujimura applies this observation to visual reality. His works are meant to create a contemplative space for all to ponder how "silence" is depicted visually.
"Silence and Beauty" is organized by Waterfall Mansion and Gallery's Owner and Founder Kate Shin. The exhibition is currently running until June 8, 2016. The gallery is open to the public every Saturday from noon to 5p and Monday thru Friday by appointment only.
A special thanks to the Brehm Center at Fuller Theological Seminary and Artrue International Co. Ltd. for their involvement and assistance in organizing the exhibit and Archegos Capital and Grace & Mercy for sponsoring the exhibit.

Canaccord Financial Inc. Appoints Philip Evershed Global Head of Investment Banking
Oct 01, 2012, 07:00 ET
Will Oversee the Global Investment Banking Team
TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2012 /CNW/ - Canaccord Financial Inc. (TSX: CF, LSE: CF., 'the Company', 'Canaccord') is pleased to announce that Philip Evershed has been appointed Global Head of Investment Banking at Canaccord Genuity. In this role Mr. Evershed will be responsible for setting the strategic priorities for the Company's investment banking practice and integrating global operations to foster further cross border collaboration.
Mr. Evershed joined Canaccord Genuity as Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking (Canada) in 2010, when the Company acquired Genuity Capital Markets. At Genuity, he was Co-Founder and Head of Investment Banking. Before co-founding Genuity, Mr. Evershed spent 14 years at CIBC World Markets, most recently as Co-Head of Investment Banking and Head of Mergers and Acquisitions. Prior to joining CIBC, Mr. Evershed was Chief of Staff to the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. Mr. Evershed has advised on many of Canada's most prominent transactions, representing clients such as Viterra, OMERS, EADS, the Province of Ontario, and Algoma Steel, to name a few.

From June 2 through June 8, the NH Legislature celebrated the 200th anniversary of the construction of the NH State House, which began in 1816 and was completed in 1819. The first session of the General Court in this building also occurred in 1819. The NH State House Bicentennial Commission held a series of events and programs to commemorate the building's anniversary including re-enactments, a Cultural Heritage and Arts Day on the Plaza, tours, and special programs.
But this week also marked several other anniversaries which members of the House commemorated during remarks on the floor. This week marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day, the Normandy landing operations during World War II, which occurred on June 6, 1944. It was the largest seaborne invasion in history. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English channel that day. Allied casualties on the first day were estimated to be at 10,000. The operation laid the foundation for the Allied victory on the Western front.
77 years ago – from June 4 – 7, 1942 – the United States Navy defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy at Midway, inflicting devastating and irreparable damage on the Japanese fleet. The Battle of Midway, which occurred just six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, is widely considered a turning point in the Pacific War.
And 100 years ago – on June 4, 1919 – Congress passed the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, which would grant all American women the right to vote. Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment on August 18, 1920, and eight days later the Secretary of State ratified passage of the 19th Amendment.
NH's program to recognize the bicentennial of its State House building was a wonderful experience, but I was very pleased that members of the House took to the floor this week to recognize these other, important anniversaries and to honor the people whose sacrifices preserved the country and shaped the times we live in today.

USA Today Bestselling Author
Bond. James Bond. Martini. Shaken, not stirred.
He is THE coolest—and yes, has always been the most interesting man in the world since long before the marketers for the current ad campaign were even born.
Sir Roger Moore breathed life into the fictional character for a dozen years and starred in one of the most classic movies in the franchise, Live And Let Die. Portraying the ultimate in British reserve, flawlessly handsome and perfect in his part, Moore played in seven Bond movies from 1973 to 1985. On the Official James Bond 007 website other Bond actors paid tribute to his career.
Moore was the James Bond I fell in love with, the one who introduced me to the mystique, and the one who got me hooked for life. To say I'm a fan of the Bond series doesn't say enough.
The understated manner of the over-the-top exploits speak to me more than Luke Skywalker or Indiana Jones or Captain Kirk ever did. Bond lived in this world and in this time and he saved the world with no hesitation and no qualms and with the most heart-melting élan of any of the legendary cinematic heroes. And nobody did it better (as Carly Simon would say) than Roger Moore.
Favorite line from Man with the Golden Gun: "Miss Anders! I didn't recognize you with yourclothes on."
Favorite line from Live And Let Die: Solitaire:Is there time before we go, for lesson number three?Bond:Absolutely. There's no sense in going off half-cocked.
Moore delivered the irreverent lines with the deserving dry wit and without faltering. Ever.
Now, deceased after nearly ninety years, Roger Moore can rely on the everlasting James Bond to give life to his memory for many years to come. There will be another James Bond movie, starring Daniel Craig, but no release date has been scheduled. I'll be there.
For some cool James Bond-like characters running perilous missions of their own, read my Beachcomber Investigations series books.
If you ask Myren, my chauffeur (and believe me, I would NOT), then of course it's too late, what are you crazy? You've already missed a month!
But I'm a fan of better-late-than-never, having been a late bloomer all my life. In fact I'm still blooming. And that's not easy to do for a woman in the Baby Boomer age range. (If you're one of those
infamous millennials, children of the Baby Boomers, then wait, this will eventually apply to you.)
In fact, my resolution has everything to do with keeping
well-preserved and flab & fat free fresh and lively. So here it is:
(I know it's cheating, but my resolution is multi-parted)
So what's with all these staying healthy resolutions you ask? What about the rest of life?
I know, I know. But I'm hoping if I start with staying healthy and alert, the rest will be easier to accomplish. (Note my earlier statement about the Baby-Boomer Age Range.)
As you might imagine, I got a slow start to the year (i.e. I waited a month to write about it) but I'm on a roll now. 5 days in a row. I mean mini-roll. Minuscule roll. Okay, forget the roll. I have a start.
Myren, my chauffeur, has accused me of over-decorating for
the holidays. But I'll let you be the judge. Here's a picture of my Christmas tree. I wanted to post a video clip to show the lights twinkling–which I adore–but I'm technically challenged and couldn't figure out how to get the video clip embedded (foreign techno-talk meaning cut & paste as far as I can tell).
I have decorations outside too, but Myren refused to let me take pictures of those–in the interest of security. (I know–he's very pushy for a chauffeur, but we have this deal where he's agreed to wear a Santa hat instead of his usual chauffeur cap until January 6th if I go easy on him. Of course, we've never defined exactly what that means…)
One of my favorite treats for the holidays is Egg Nog. Another favorite is peppermint & dark chocolate truffles. Another favorite is hot coco. And then there's roasted chestnuts and this fabulously buttery recipe I have for… (Is this excessive? Am I eating too many treats?) I'm sure my doctor will mention it at my check up on Monday. I should know better than to schedule anything–good for me or not–that involves stepping on a scale at Christmas time. Guess I'll have to suck it up and not eat any more treats until after my appointment. (Yes, I
know my appointment is tomorrow.)
I had my annual Christmas gathering of my local lady friends and we had a ball–did a Yankee swap. Everyone was too polite to swap around much. I was glad I didn't end up with my own gift. Next time for my Yankee swap gift I'm buying chocolates. (Yes, chocolate is a recurring theme–you are not imagining it.)
Today I'm off to shop. Again. For more stuff. Mostly because I love the hustle-bustle of the holidays–and scooping up more decorations. And more chocolate treats. Myren just tooted the horn–it's playing jingle bells and I'm running out the door to pretend we're riding in a one-horse open sleigh.
See you when I get back! In the meantime, please share your favorite Christmas treats and if I get ten comments with shared treats, I'll post the recipe for my extra buttery mystery treat!!
Merry Christmas and Jingle All the Way!
Every writer knows you need to hook a reader with the first few lines–the very first line if possible–if you want them to keep reading.
It's the hardest EVER thing to do. At least for me. So THIS is a challenge! Here's my BOOK HOOK for The Beachcombers:
So far Shana's first undercover assignment held about as much promise as her first attempt to capture a rabid kangaroo on the loose.
She had not expected, after flying all the way from Sydney to London—Goddamn London—in a state of heart-stopping excitement about her brand new post, that she would be ordered that same day to leave and fly to Boston. Goddamn Boston. Then adding to her travel torture, she'd raced across Logan Airport to board a shuttle plane to fly her to the tiny island of Martha's Vineyard. All for the purpose of ending up on another beach, with another surfboard, about to prance around in yet another bikini. Fifty-six excruciating hours and over two thousand witless miles later.

Editor's Note: To see an updated list, check out our March 2017 rankings, here.
Below is New Revere Daily Press' official list of the Top 100 conservative websites on the Internet! These are the sites that ranked 1-25. If you're looking to see rankings for 26-50 or 51-100, click on the links below:
April 2016 Rankings: 26-50
April 2016 Rankings: 51-100
These rankings were calculated by looking at Alexa rankings for roughly 200 conservative websites (U.S. ranks only).
Global rankings were excluded because the point of the site is to look at popular U.S. conservative sites; foreign data would skew the results. Data is calculated by Alexa over a three-month period (at least, that's the description we were able to find on the Alexa site). Alexa is one of only a few prominent sites for calculating website traffic, and it is perhaps the most reliable.
If you have a site you think belongs in the Top 100 but wasn't listed here, send an e-mail to Justin Haskins, the editor-in-chief, at email@example.com.
