One of the real highlights of the IRONMAN South Africa weekend, the Spur IRONKIDS aquathlon, took place on Saturday 5 April 2014 starting from McArthur Pool and Leisure Centre in Port Elizabeth.
Another sold-out field with close to 1000 kids from 13 different countries registered this year including 10 special needs children. Spur IRONKIDS is for children between the ages of 6 and 13 divided into two age categories. Children in the age group 6 - 9 had to swim 60m and run 1.2km while the 10 to 13 year olds swam 100m and ran a distance of 2km.
Spur Steak Ranches are the official title sponsors of IRONKIDS. "Development is also a key focus area for the Spur brand and providing young children with the chance to experience these type of events works to get them excited about being active and urge them to participate in their chosen sport for years to come," said Spur Market Development Manager Andrew Cronje.
Spur IRONKIDS is about participation and children having fun in an outdoor setting. All the participants received a t-shirt, medal and goodie bag upon finishing. IRONKIDS South Africa is the biggest IRONKIDS event in the world, and is one that captures the imagination of all who witness it.
Many of the kids entered for the first time. Children such as Olivia Rossouw (8) and her family were excited about being a part of the race for the first time. "I like the swimming because I practice a lot," said Olivia. According to her father, allowing children to pick up healthy habits leads them to an active lifestyle. "Whatever a dad says will always be a bad idea, so it is better for them to see it for themselves," said Olivia's dad.
Brothers, Tameez and Naseem Tobias, aged 9 and 10, came back for their second IRONKIDS challenge. Both are sports lovers and were really excited about the challenge. Amy Davids (9) came back this year for her fourth IRONKIDS event along with her family who call themselves Team Davids. They travel every year from Cape Town to take part in the IRONMAN weekend events.
Race conditions were great and the event was enjoyed by all. At the end of the day every child was a winner.

Now, as a full-service real estate professional, I work with buyers, sellers and investors in transactions spanning all of the price ranges and property types. Here is a list of only some that I can help you with:
Residential Single Family –
This property type is the majority of my market transactions, but by far not the only one in which I have expertise.
Condominiums –
While condominiums are residential, they're a very different market focus, and I can help you in evaluating condos for buyers and sellers to cope with the special financing and homeowner concerns for this property type.
Multi-family –
Multi-family properties are a unique market. The detailed return on investment and valuation calculations investors need to evaluate properties for rental are complicated, but also very rewarding.
Vacant Land –
Landis a very special property class. It's relatively easy to show a gourmet cook a wonderful commercial kitchen in a home and see their eyes light up. It's more of a challenge to help a buyer or seller to realize the potential ina piece of land.
Call me at 530-525-2300 or email me to start a discussion of your needs. Or, use the contact page on this site and tell me about your property interests and an overview of your needs.

The winter sale of Steam is finally here, with thousands of PC games sold. It is practically a holiday tradition at this point. The sale will last two weeks and end on January 3, 2019.
What is there to say about the sales of Steam at this time? If you're a PC player, you know how great these players are. If you are unfamiliar with the entire PC gaming scene, you will be selling thousands of games from inexpensive AAA blockbusters to fabulous indie games you will not find anywhere else.
The sales should last for two weeks so you can buy games anytime without waiting for a bigger sale. Steam advertises daily on its first page for different sales. Some of today's front-and-center deals include the Assassin's Creed franchise for up to 67% and the zombie parkour simulator Dying Light for 60%.
As usual some The sales in older games is particularly large. For only $ 2.99 you can own Valves Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2: Episode One Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and Portal . That's about 75 cents a game.
There is also an "extremely cozy country house" that you can visit once a day for some free digital articles. The Steam website states that these are "of different use" and expire on February 2, 201
When you buy games on Steam, remember Steam's impressive refund policy. If you dislike a game or are not running on your system, you can get back all your money as long as you have played the game for less than two hours. You must, however, arrange for a refund within the first two weeks after you purchase a game.

Oil Exploration, Production & Service Companies plus Hydrocarbon Rich States begin a speedy transition away from Oil & Gas to build a clean energy future for our World. Choosing to invest in Clean Energy rather than make further investment in Expensive Offshore Exploration & Production Facilities.
The likely huge growth of electric vehicles, geothermal energy, wind and solar power will cause a matching decline in the need for hydrocarbons and nuclear power!
So Hydrocarbon Businesses like BP and Hydrocarbon Rich States like Qatar, Libya and Algeria are actively investing in the transition to meeting the demand for clean eco-energy. They now have a leading involvement in:
1. Drilling Geothermal Wells and building GeoThermal Power Stations around the World.
2. Building more eco-friendly New Hydrocarbon Power Stations based on Hydrogen Generation plus Carbon Capture & Storage to redevelop existing Oil & Gas Fields!
3. Owning and developing Wind Energy Technology and Generation Capacity.
4. Owning and developing Mega/GigakW output Solar Technology and Generation Capacity.
4. Strategic Investment in Energy Storage Technology etc.
Perhaps a future UK government will look at Incentives and Laws to further speed geothermal energy investment and this transition, with the aim of exceeding the European eco-targets set for 2020 & 2050!

Yesterday my numbers from Australia were so high and it was so weird. Turns out is was something to do with Australian Vogue--who knew?
But today my numbers are crazy high and I could not figure out why. Turns out the awesome folks at Blogging Project Runway (one of my all time favorite blogs because it is so awesome and it makes me laugh so damn hard) posted a link to my blog post about meeting Tim Gunn in Chicago on Thursday! See it here: http://bloggingprojectrunway.blogspot.com/ That is so exciting, as I am Project Runway obsessed.
Read their blog daily for all the latest gossip, scoop and fashion...it is so good!
So, in the past 3 weeks I have met Emmett McCarthy, Worn a shirt by Nick Verreos, and Met Tim Gunn, and got a mention on Blogging Project Runway -all quite by accident. My Project Runway Mojo must really be working.
All I have left on my list is to eat flan with Malan...call me sweetie.
Thanks Blogging Project Runway for the shout out!!
Fashionable day to everyone!

World volleyball superstar Ivan Zaytsev is the new player of an Italian men's side Azimut Modena!
Ivan Zaytsev has signed a three-year contract with Azimut Modena and chose to wear the jersey with number 9 that accompanies him from the beginning of his career, the SuperLega club announced.
"There are great stories and emotions, moments of pure joy that are worth every drop of sweat, which make you overcome every pain and mental exhaustion. Like this Scudetto: mine, ours, of all those who believed in it. Always! This Scudetto is a love story with a happy ending that nothing and nobody can ruin. This story does not end here because we, who have lived it, carry it inside, and the affection that we have built and we have given by ourselves will remain forever," a 29-year-old Italy national team opposite wrote in a farewell message addressed to Sir Safety Conad Perugia fans who supported the team in winning the triple crown last season, on Instagram.
He also thanked his teammates for a hard work and for trusting him during the last two seasons. "The Zar" especially tanked Perugia coach Lorenzo Bernardi.
"But the most important thanks is for you, Lollo. It was an honor to be trained by you. You understood me, you guided me, you listened to me and tamed me. I am proud, determined and often stubborn. You made me what I did not think I would ever be able to be. You were the greatest and now you are even more!" Zaytsev posted.
So far in his career, Zaytsev won Italian championships twice, Italian cup once, and Italian Supercup twice. Individually, he won the prize as Best Outside Hitter in the 2017 CEV Champions League, and Best Opposite in the 2015 CEV European Championship and 2015 FIVB World Cup.

This was the best move for all involved and is increasing the strength of the league.
The Russell move to Trentino would be huge for that program especially with getting one the best libero and Middles in the world.
Lanza will have a chance to play for the Premier team in Europe and will fit in nicely .
Lots of movement this summer but all really smart ones.
Re: @suisse Agree, I was thinking either Modena or Trentino for Zaytsev as an opposite. Modena has to get one strong outside spiker beside Urnaut and one strong middle blocker if they want to compete with Lube and Perugia.
Trentino has to find some great opposite (Djuric if he is healthy) in order to become competitive. Lanza and Kovacevic are not as strong as Juantorena/Leal or Leon/Rusell. If Rusell move to Trentino, and I am not sure why would he since next season is time for Perugia to get some international trophies unless Trentino makes him offer he can't refuse. But then Perugia is without second outside spiker.
Sole went to Verona, which is a surprise. If he came back toTrento, him and Lisinac would make great middle blocker duo.

So this isn't Christmas, and what have they done?
Another "Christmas" record which has nothing to do with Christmas, and wasn't even released for Christmas. It actually came out in August – so brilliant timing for the back-to-school market. I'm sure all the primary kids were getting down to this. Jim and William Reid of The Jesus And Mary Chain basically overdub a load of feedback-y guitars to The Sugarcubes' signature song, so in theory, it's two of the greatest alternative groups of the late 80s on one record, but… they're better separately.
Still, it is Christmas… this time…

Does He Know It's Christmas?
The answer is: yes, but honestly I just don't feel like posting anything christmassy. So something by The Jesus And Mary Chain is about as close as you're going to get from me, and they only get a pass because they're doing a song about a different time of year altogether. I would have suggested that the mid-April singles market is somewhat less lucrative than christmas, but this was their biggest hit, so what do I know?

There's been a lot of stuff happening across the globe, and maybe it's the best time to just sit back and rejuvenate oneself before the next season begins. Keeping in the leisure mood, this time on my beauty board is a British luxury skincare brand called Elemis – which is known across the world for its super effective skin treatments and products.
The brand was officially launched in India in October, 2016, and is well-known for its organic skin care and anti-aging range. The globally renowned brand was introduced in India by Sanghvi Brands, which also brought special menus, treatments and trained therapists for Elemis in select spas and salons at luxury hotels and spa chains across the country.
The price range of products for both men and women in anti-aging and skincare segment at Elemis varies from INR 5,000 to INR 15,000. The brand philosophy goes as "defined by nature, led by science" and when we met Justine Noone, International Business Manager, Elemis, she explained to us why.
"All the products manufactured at the house of Elemis are cruelty-free and tested several times to ensure quality. The brand takes inspiration from chemicals that are produced naturally by plants and uses it to create anti-aging technology," mentioned the expert.
Here are two products from Elemis that we used over a period of time and were really happy with the results.
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream
Anti-wrinkle days cream that firms and hydrates the skin with regular use. The texture of the cream is so light that it gets absorbed in no time, leaving the skin supple and fresh. The smell is also really light and it doesn't make your oily even after several hours of application.
Papaya Enzyme Peel
Without a doubt, this is the best cream exfoliator I have used in my life. The smell of this peel is so pleasant and the effects are even better. This peel gently exfoliates the skin and uses fruit enzymes to make the skin smooth. It's great for all skin types and even those with sensitive skin can apply it without any worry.

DETROIT -- General Motors wants its new Cadillac marketing campaign to be the first step in winning sales from BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz.
"We need to build aspiration and do a better job at getting into the head of the Lexus, BMW and Mercedes owners and really solidify Cadillac from the standpoint of a worldwide premium brand," Mark LaNeve, GM's vice president of vehicle sales, service and marketing, said during a conference call with analysts. "The new campaign is going to do that."
GM has launched two 30-second TV commercials for Cadillac. For the first time in four years, Cadillac commercials will not feature Led Zeppelin's music or the voice-over work of actor Gary Sinise.
The print ads began appearing in national publications in late July and this month.
"Given how big Mercedes, BMW and Lexus are, everyone's going to target them as the ideal customers to steal," Jim Taylor, Cadillac's general manager, said in an interview with Automotive News .
The two commercials, called "Crest" and "Heart," use soft music and emphasize the brand's craftsmanship and performance, Taylor said.
Doug Scott, an industry analyst at GfK Automotive in Southfield, Mich., said: "The direction in terms of craftsmanship, having both the rationale and emotional base of where Cadillac wants to go as a brand, is definitely the direction Cadillac should go in. However, as we know, there's a brand sitting at the top of the mountain called Lexus."
Scott says Cadillac's new message could work to unseat Lexus, but it will take a long time.
"You have three heavy-hitting brands perceived in some way or another to have high levels of craftsmanship and certain levels of performance." Scott says.
Taylor said Cadillac is prepared to stick it out. Cadillac has studied its new target crowd and plans to emphasize the more emotional elements and build the cachet of driving a Cadillac.
"It's not as simple as product targeting or brand targeting -- it's people targeting," Taylor says. "You dissect the people who gravitate toward BMW, Lexus or Mercedes. We think those are three groups of people who are wired to come our way."
The campaign is the first for Cadillac's new ad agency, Modernista. Cadillac ended its 71-year relationship with Leo Burnett in June.
Taylor says future ads will offer storytelling, fantasy and fun -- elements that Modernista's Hummer ads are known for.

CNBC's Jim Cramer said on Wednesday that Google, one of the tech giant, has a lot more work to do if it aspires to compete against Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant, and its Echo speakers.
Also on Wednesday, Alphabet's Google unveiled a new partnership with Wal-mart. This paves the way so that the customers of the retail giant would be able to purchase products through Google's voice-enabled technology.
The said team-up came as Wal-Mart improves and advances its e-commerce operations so that they may be able to compete with Amazon, which presently possesses an edge in the shopping market.
On " Squawk on the Street, Cramer said, "I don't think Google Voice shopping is going to be as accurate as Amazon voice shopping."
"They have more work to do on voice. Voice is everything," Cramer also added. "Google Voice is not as good as I think people think it is."
He added that Wal-Mart perhaps should have reached out to the tech Nvidia, but he praised Wal-Mart for having been able to answer Amazon's Alexa, the dark star.
"So, this is an answer. I don't think it is a coherent an answer," Cramer stated. "If you want to play this, I'd play it with Nvidia."
On the other hand, Marc Lore, Wal-Mart's head of e-commerce, said that the collaboration with Google makes sense.
Lore related the tech giant has made "significant investments in natural language processing and artificial intelligence to deliver a powerful voice shopping experience" in one of his blog posts.

I guess NC State at South Carolina is our big opening nite game.
It's not a bad choice, should be fairly competitive compared to the drubbing LSU laid on Miss State to start the '07 season.
Glad to see PSU-Syracuse make it onto ABC. If funds aren't too tight, I'll probably try to head up to that one though.
Ohio State has a rare bye this year...November 1st. Wisconsin is playing at Michigan State that day. I'm gonna head up for that one.
Sure thing. I'm hoping it's better than baseball in a dome. Presently StubHub has tickets at $90, minimum, for the 'Cuse game so it's not looking good. I'm guessing I'll only have the funds for one trip and that'll probably be Ohio State or one of the other October road games since PSU is only at home once that month.
That's expensive as hell. Is that because of the PSU legion heading up there or SU's doing?
You should probably try ebay as the game gets closer. Even OSU tickets against the Bowling Greens and Kent States manage to come under $90 during week of.
Then again, The Shoe has a wee bit more seating.
"Face" value of the tickets being sold for the game by SU are $89 because you have to buy a ticket to another game as well which is somewhat responsible for it. As well as the fact that there will be a huge PSU legion up there. I'm sure the game will sell out or at least be close to it.
Tickets for OSU-PSU are a minimum of $200 right now, likely to get worse. Unless I manage to score some tickets through PSU I might have to rule going to that one out. Purdue looks like a good possibility for a road trip although West Lafayette isn't the greatest place to visit. Tickets are going as low as $19 right now and my cousin is going to school there so I could probably crash with him and save on a hotel. Iowa is going minimum of $90 and Wisconsin is a minimum of $104. Looks like unless I go to Purdue I'll be dropping some serious money, unfortunately.
Un-patiently waiting for the showdown between UGA @ ASU. Georgia should be 2-0 after traveling to South Carolina the previous week, but those 2 road games back to back will be tough. UGA has struggled early out the gate the last 2 seasons, we'll see if the same holds true this year.
September 13 is pretty exciting, especially since we'll probably never get the Trojans in a Rose Bowl again.
For the record, I predict a loss--but very close. Unfortunately I think we are set up to get swept in that home-and-home. We'll send our better team to the Collesium this year, and then we get Petey's boys in the Shoe after we lose everyone.
We'll still have Pryor, though! :rolleyes:
(not trying to hi-jack, but I was late to that party)
He'll have free reign in Columbus...on and off the field. :rolleyes:
Countdown to disaster...3-2-1...
I can see it coming. Heh, next year OSU will be running the spread. They are built for line it up and pound it out. WTF? Tressel has lost his mind. Going w/the trend instead of what brought him so far in the 1st place.
so 78, is it true that some plays are being put in just for Pryor? I hate to say this, but please tell me he isn't taking a page out of meyer's playbook. (i just threw up all over my keyboard)
It never f'n ends Mikey. Never ends.
Louisville sure has a lot of games on tv this year. I wonder what's up with that. I can understand them showing Louisville/Kentucky, and Louisville/Memphis locally, but all of those games being nationally, I don't understand.

Two Bella Vista PD employees fired
Chief James Graves announced Wednesday that he has fired two employees of the Bella Vista Police Department.
Mike Kugler and Clayton Roberts were fired on December 20, 2017. Their handling of several cases related to drugs are under a criminal investigation by the Benton County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
Chief Graves had been made aware of problems with the handling of evidence earlier that month. He discovered "multiple discrepancies," and asked the county for help.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office assigned two veteran investigators, who confirmed the discrepancies. Kugler and Roberts were identified as being involved in the mishandling of evidence.
"While as a Chief of Police you are never happy when these types of incidents happen, I am extremely proud of this department, its personnel and the work we do," Chief Graves said in a statement to 40/29.
"We identified a problem, immediately took action and brought in outside resources to ensure that our actions and findings were without question and fully transparent."
Benton County prosecutor Nathan Smith told 40/29 News, "The danger is that someone who may have been arrested rightfully will have evidence that could and should have been used in court against them, unavailable to be used against them."
Smith added that no one has been wrongfully arrested from the cases in question.
40/29 News reached out to Roberts and Kugler for comment, but has not heard back from either.

For years conservatives have asserted that homosexuals are pursuing children, and for years homo-activists have mocked that claim. Due to either their profound ignorance or their commitment to deception as a tactic for advancing their pernicious goal of normalizing homoeroticism, homo-activists misrepresented what conservatives were claiming.
Activists falsely claimed that conservatives were worried that homo-activists would try to "turn children gay," when, in reality, conservatives were claiming that homo-activists were feverishly working through every cultural institution to eradicate conservative views on the nature and morality of homosexuality. In other words, homo-activists were pursuing the hearts and minds of other people's children.

But over the years, this gaming convention has taken a shift. While the men are still in attendance, all eyes are on the female cosplayers who go all-out with their skimpy costumes that definitely turn heads. We've rounded up a list of some of the hottest female cosplayers who have ever stepped foot in-side Comic Con. But they are dazzling us with more than just their good looks. Many of these cosplayers spend weeks designing their own costumes and bringing their favorite characters to life. Riki LeCotey, also known as Riddle, is one female cosplayer who has used her costume design experience to craft cosplays that look so much like the real thing, we had to do a double take! Her body-hugging costumes have made her a favorite at Comic Con conventions worldwide, and her fans can't wait to see which skimpy outfit she shows up in next. Adrianne Curry made a name for herself as the very first winner of America's Next Top Model, but the supermodel has also garnered massive amounts of attention as one of the sexiest female cosplayers to ever hit the scene! Although she has since retired from playing dress-up, Adri-anne's legacy in the community continues to live on. A few of her most hottest cosplays include her Poison Ivy bodysuit that showed off her svelte tummy, and her Slave Leia costume that left little to the imagination. When it comes to wearing a sexy cosplay, Jessica Nigri is a pro! The veteran female cosplayer has been dressing up as her favorite characters since 2009. That means she has been bringing us super sexy cosplays for seven whole years! Jessica not only has an awesome personality that makes fans flock to her, but she also has the body of a supermodel. She can pull off almost any look with ease, like her cosplay of Nidalee and the Sexy Pikachu costume that really launched her position as one of the sexiest female cosplayers. From San Diego to Thailand, Comic Con conventions are a time for fellow gamers to come to-gether, meet some of the key players in the industry, and dress up in their best costumes. Alt-hough we love to see the typical Batman and Superman cosplayers, we're pretty sure every in attendance is there to feast their eyes on these 10 hottest cosplayers we have ever seen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheTalko Twitter: https://twitter.com/thetalko Instagram: https://instagram.com/the_talko ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.thetalko.com/

Increasingly, prospects for a healthy, fulfilling and self-sufficient life depend on getting a postsecondary education. Cal Wellness is committed to supporting organizations that increase access to, and completion of, an educational credential beyond a high school degree or GED certificate for adolescents and young adults we define as resilient youth (see below). The degree or credential can be through a four-year university, a community college, or a career/technical/vocational program.
Increasing Educational Opportunities for Resilient Youth
What We Fund
Each application for funding must fit under one or more of these program areas.
- College readiness programs, such as campus-based support and vocational training
- Capacity building for organizations providing social supports
- Leadership development programs for youth at risk of not reaching their academic goals
- Expansion and development of community college and higher education opportunities in juvenile and adult correctional facilities
- Research and data collection
- Advocacy for policies that support resilient youth who are pursuing higher education and vocational training
Target Populations
All projects we fund must support resilient youth. These are young people, ages 14 to 26, who:
- Are in, or have left, the juvenile or adult criminal justice systems.
- Are or were in foster care.
- Are/were homeless.
What We Do Not Fund
We fund very specific projects and activities. We do not fund:
- Street outreach programs.
- Drop-in center programs.
- Emergency shelter/short-term housing programs.
- Programs that solely emphasize high school graduation and/or the acquisition of a GED certificate.
- If such a program is part of a larger, intentional and robust strategy that moves resilient youth to and through postsecondary education, then there is a chance that it will receive funding. But if the end goal is a high school diploma or GED certificate, then it is not eligible for funding in this program area.
Examples of Funded Grants
Below are some examples of organizations we fund under this grantmaking area:
- Humboldt State University: $250,000/3 years. Core operating support for the ELITE Scholars Program to sustain and strengthen services that support the health, well-being and educational success of current and former foster youth at Humboldt State University.
- John Burton Advocates for Youth: $225,000/3 years. Core operating support to continue to engage in public policy activities to address postsecondary educational needs of California's foster youth.
- Jovenes, Inc.: $200,000/3 years. Project support to develop and implement the College Success Initiative, a case-managed supportive housing program targeting homeless and foster youth enrolled at community colleges in East and South Los Angeles.
- Los Angeles Mission College: $250,000/3 years. Core operating support to sustain and strengthen efforts to improve the well-being of youth who are in, or re-entering their communities from, Los Angeles juvenile justice facilities by providing paths to and through postsecondary education, including career/technical/vocational education.
- SchoolHouse Connection: $250,000/3 years. Core operating support to sustain and strengthen federal and state policy advocacy and implementation efforts to improve the health; wellbeing; and access to, and success in, college for youth experiencing homelessness in California.
If you have any questions about this grantmaking area, please reach out to the program assistant for this area, Kay Mizushima, KMizushima [at] calwellness.org.

When I was about 11 years old, I had an epiphany while driving to school one morning. While sitting in the back seat of our family sedan, I realized that my success in life was dependent on me becoming a resident of the United States of America. And, if that long-shot were to transpire (my parents having no desire to move out of province, let alone out of the country), then I would live as big as my dreams would allow. I would go to Harvard University, and subsequently to my graduation from law school, then follow my rising star to the White House where I would become the first Canadian-born President of the free world.
I ended up becoming a kindergarten teacher instead. Not quite what my Grade 5 self had planned.
Life has a way of taking you on detours, and sometimes it even leads you down roads you might never have traveled had you seen the map beforehand. But, in the end, our lives are what we make of them. And life is a highway -- or, so they say. It just so happens that I have journeyed through most of my life on Canadian terrain. And, in doing so, I have discovered why it is that I love this country more than I first thought I did.
Canada is unpredictable. And no clearer example of this can be found than in our variable weather conditions.
This past March, our family traveled down through the Eastern States to visit family in North Carolina. We left Prince Edward Island in blizzard-like conditions. Thankfully, the snow tires were still on, so we arrived at our first night's destination intact, albeit hours behind schedule. As we were going through the border, my husband asked the American immigration official what were the possibilities that we would drive out of the bad weather (inferring, would that be sooner rather than later?). The border crossing security guard looked at him as if he had just sprouted moose antlers, then said this:
"Where you going?"
My husband replied, "We're headed to North Carolina to visit my sister and her family."
"Well," he replied, "one thing's for sure. If you're driving to North Carolina, you are going to drive out of the snow somewhere along the way."
Here's the thing. Had there been a vehicle just like ours, on the other side of the road heading north. And had they asked the same question of their Canadian border crossing official, here's what might have gone down:
Driver: "Any chance we might drive out of this bad weather in the next hour or two?"
Border crossing official: "Where you going?"
Driver: "We're heading home to Prince Edward Island. We're also hoping the bridge isn't closed due to high winds, once we hit Cape Jourimain."
Border Crossing official: "Well, one thing's for sure, this weather isn't letting up any time soon. But, on the bright side, the roads aren't half bad now that the potholes are filled in with slush and snow!"
That's the thing about Canadians: although the weather is unpredictable, we know how to look on the bright side. Rather than glass half empty, it's a cuppa Red Rose tea half full, eh!
Why you #LoveCanada
25 Reasons For Loving Canada


text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ INTRODUCTION ++ Core public health—food and water sanitation, sewage and refuse disposal, vermin control, and the management of zoonosis and communicable diseases—depends on law as much as on science. From the Roman sewers and public water systems, and the Venetian 40-day interregnum for ships entering port, to the recent eradication of smallpox, public health depends on the power of the state. Public health authorities must seize property, close businesses, destroy animals, or involuntarily treat, or even lock away, individuals. Without the coercive power of the state, public health and modern society would be impossible. ++ With the exception of its higher rates of HIV infection, the United States is similar to other developed countries. For the past 30 years, communicable diseases have been relatively well controlled, shifting the public focus to the problems of chronic diseases. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, which were followed by several deaths from anthrax spores carried through the mail, refocused public opinion on public health and its role in protecting the nation from bioterrorism. The specter of bioterrorism, especially an attack with smallpox, has forced a reappraisal of the balance between individual liberty and public health authority. ++ This chapter focuses on public health law in the United States. It reviews the constitutional basis for public health law, the routine practice of public health law as administrative law, and concludes with a discussion of the future of public health law, which includes the role of public health law in national security law. ++ PUBLIC HEALTH AND PRIMARY CARE ++ Public health law, as discussed in this chapter, deals with the role of the health department as a regulatory agency. If a health department also delivers primary care, it is a dual role department. When a health department provides health care to individuals, whether it is prenatal care, well-child checkups, or general primary care, the health department employees or contractors providing medical care must follow the same laws on privacy and patient autonomy as other health-care providers. As one example, a prenatal care clinic must comply with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).1 HIPAA limits the transfer of personal medical information without the patient's consent, and sets out standards for how the privacy of that information must be protected.

If one thing is certain about the future, it's that nothing can be certain – so it's best to be prepared for everything. But when it comes to payments technology, that can be easier said than done.
Jeff Zimmerman, COO at Clearent, says that embedding payments into software is, admittedly, a difficult task for ISVs, given the myriad types of devices their customers are using to run the software, as well as the different types of payment devices and methods that their customers want to use in conjunction with the system.
"Things will keep changing," Zimmerman said in a recent webinar with Karen Webster. "That makes payments integration a tall order because it isn't a static, one-time decision; it needs to be open for changes tomorrow."
That's why he says ISVs can no longer approach a payments integration as an afterthought. While it was once a "necessary evil" that could be tacked on after all the other features had been built, today's end users expect a seamless, built-in experience, not a redirect to a web-based payments process, Zimmerman said. Business owners who use that software want to get paid faster, reduce errors and save time and energy on entering and reconciling information across systems.
Integrated payments can advance all of those goals, Zimmerman noted, improving the experience for business owners as well as the end customers who interact with them.
During the webinar, Zimmerman and Webster were joined by Eric Rausin, VP of research and development at FieldEdge, an ISV that offered the customer perspective on the three ways that payments players and their software partners can collaborate to future-proof payment integrations.
1: Look to the Cloud
Cloud migration is definitely a macro-trend in the software space, said Zimmerman – and it's one of the reasons it's a good time to be a B2B software company today.
Zimmerman said that Clearent's aim is to enable companies to choose from as many payment options as they need while minimizing the work necessary to do so, and that is where moving to the cloud can have the greatest benefit.
Before EMV, the traditional "integrated" approach meant integrating a magnetic stripe reader into the point of sale (POS) machine. That was easy for cashiers to learn, and it gave organizations more control over the customer experience. However, said Zimmerman, the credit card data flowing through the POS subjects the organization to PCI and other compliance certifications, which could be onerous.
That led to a semi-integrated approach, sparked in part by the introduction of EMV, which these traditional machines could not accommodate. In the semi-integrated environment, the card reader was attached to the POS device but was not fully integrated, keeping sensitive card data out of the software to avoid the PCI problem.
However, Zimmerman said, semi-integration created its own set of challenges. There were many moving parts involved in the transaction: the POS software, the credit card machine, the payment processor. Anything that touched card data along the way had to be certified, and anytime one piece changed, the whole system had to get re-certified.
There was also the complexity of integrating the POS to each device manufacturer, including challenges around cable connectivity.
Zimmerman said that cloud integration is the new option that solves some of the problems with semi-integrated systems. One integration through the cloud supports many different device brands, and can continue to do so as even more devices and brands get introduced in the future.
As Zimmerman noted, the cloud also resolves the cable connectivity challenge. The POS and card-reading device each require internet connections, but they are not physically connected to each other, so as long as they're connected to the internet, the cashier can move them around as needed rather than, say, ask customers to reach in through the drive-thru window to pay.
For FieldEdge, which supports payments for home service providers working in the field – such as HVAC specialists, electricians, locksmiths and plumbers – Rausin said that a cloud-based Bluetooth solution is beneficial, because many techs keep their devices in an OtterBox or LifeProof case that makes it difficult to attach mobile card readers or dongles on the go.
2: Think Mobile
Speaking of on the go, Zimmerman said mobile is the second key to future-proofing software solutions. It enables people to take their payments anywhere, whether that's home, work, the train or vacation – even within certain brick-and-mortar stores.
Mobile payments encompass many different scenarios, Zimmerman said. Customers using Apple Pay or Google Pay at a store's POS is just one form. "Mobile" can also mean that the business owner is using a mobile device to take the payment, or that the consumer is executing the transaction remotely from within an app or mobile website.
For early adopters, super-connected consumers and younger demographics, a personal device can be a sort of self-service terminal wherever they go. Early research by PYMNTS shows that many want to use their mobile devices more heavily to support in-store payment experiences, and otherwise get more utility out of their devices on the go.
Although adoption has been lackluster for technologies like Apple Pay, Zimmerman does believe it will happen – and, indeed, EMV could help it get there. Dipping cards takes longer than swiping, and today's consumers want transactions to take less time, not more. Mobile payments could offer that.
Zimmerman also believes that loyalty and rewards could be a big driver for greater mobile payment adoption, and cites the lack thereof as a reason for consumers' tepid reception toward Apple Pay. The Starbucks mobile app, he noted, delivers a nearly identical experience at the POS, but it has seen much more enthusiastic adoption thanks to the extra incentives the company added for frequent users.
Mobile, said Rausin, enables home service providers to accept payments instantly out in the field. There's no collecting cash and checks, no chance of payments blowing out the open window between one job and the next, no chance of something winding up under the seat or in a puddle before the tech can make it into the office for his once- or twice-weekly deposit visit. Tablets and phones let techs create invoices or accept payments right at the moment when services are rendered.
"Our job as a software provider is to make our customers' lives easier," Rausin said. "They should never have to enter information twice. And when they accept a payment in the field, it needs to flow through to the financial package, and it needs to happen one time only, in a way that no one in the office has to touch the data or ever even see it."
Rausin added that some customers, particularly commercial ones, aren't going to pay right there in the field, and they shouldn't have to. Mobile allows techs to create invoices in the moment and send them later, then end customers can pay whenever and however it's convenient for them.
"You don't want any obstacles between you and a sale," Rausin concluded. "Make it as easy as possible to do business with you."
3: Be Agile
"The only thing we know about the future is that it will change," Zimmerman reiterated. "Think of it as customer-oriented and problem-oriented."
Zimmerman said "agile" goes beyond software development. Sales, customer service and technical teams must also be agile so they can quickly support new things when they come out. He said a software provider that owns its own tech stack is appealing for this reason, because it has the ability to act as soon as something new emerges, delivering in months rather than years.
"Customers don't want to hear, 'We're adding it to our 2021 roadmap,'" he said.
Rausin agreed, describing how the growth of the subscription model led FieldEdge to need an ACH integration and tokenization so it could help customers accept recurring payments. He said FieldEdge needed a partner that adapted to this evolution, or was maybe even ahead of it, so the partner could be responsive about solving the problem rapidly.
Rausin said that FieldEdge also looks for software partners that own their tech stack, because when something goes wrong (and that's inevitable, at some point), having a knowledgeable partner that owns its own stack means getting help when it's needed. Developers from one software partner can talk to developers from the other to get reliable answers to solve problems as quickly as possible.
The bottom line, according to Zimmerman, is seamlessness. He reiterated that payments must be a focus rather than an afterthought for software developers. Rausin agreed, adding that integrating payments in a modern, functional way is not as expensive as people think.
"Any exposure to risk, anytime there are delays, anytime you're entering data twice, that's more expensive than any charges for implementing," Rausin said. "The key is to take the payment however it's convenient for the customer." And yes, that does require integration.

When I was a Peace Corps volunteer in rural Nepal 30 years ago, I felt a small earthquake. It was just a few small tremors in the middle of the night, but it was big enough to wake me up.
The next morning, I asked my "Amma" — meaning "Mother," the matriarch of my host family — what had happened. "There's a fish underneath the ground," she said, "and it flops around when we do something wrong."
I thought of her comment as I read about Saturday's massive earthquake in Nepal, which has already claimed more than 4,000 lives.
Of course, none of the victims deserved their horrendous fate. But there really is something wrong in Nepal, and it helps explain the devastation that the country is experiencing. It's called politics.
Simply put, Nepal's leaders have been too busy battling each other to establish a workable state.
That's why hastily constructed buildings shot up without any real regulation, only to crumble on Saturday. And it's why families are living in tents or out in the open, hoping that international aid organizations will come to their aid.
The Nepalese government can't. For more than two decades, the country's political parties have been locked in a cycle of violence, corruption and stalemate. So the state couldn't make the needed infrastructure improvements to prepare for a big earthquake, which everyone knew was on the way.
There weren't any political parties — at least any legal ones — when I lived in Nepal. It was a quasi-religious monarchy, run by a king who fashioned himself an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu.
At the school where I worked, the teachers scoffed at the idea. They were mostly Communists, joining a secret movement that spread quietly over the countryside. On the last night of my stay, over a copious number of drinks, they whispered to me that a new day was dawning.
They were right. Inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall, Nepalese protesters forced the king to accept an elected parliament. It was divided between the liberal Congress Party and a coalition of Communists.
But other Communists refused to abide by electoral solutions. Invoking Mao Tse-tung, they bombed police stations and occupied village offices. The Soviet Union was dead and Mao's China had instituted private-business development, but the Maoist revolution was alive and well in Nepal.
That triggered years of brutal civil war. Police and army units committed untold atrocities against the Maoists, who kidnapped villagers for political indoctrination and forced labor. By 2006, when the war finally ended, 12,000 Nepalese had been killed.
After that, Nepal's fledgling democracy never really got off the ground. Corruption was endemic; laying down their arms, the Maoists lined their pockets like other politicians did.
And seven years after the monarchy ended, Nepal still doesn't have a constitution. The major parties can't agree on a shared set of ground rules, because each is intent on ruling the others.
In 2010, after 25 years, I returned to my village in western Nepal. The three-day trek to the village had become a six-hour walk, thanks to improved bus roads.
But the villagers still lacked a clean-water supply or basic sanitation facilities.
And, most of all, they didn't have a real say in their government. Local elections have been suspended since the late 1990s, when the civil war began, and every effort to re-start them has dissolved in political acrimony.
I've spent the last few days contacting Nepalese friends in America to see if their families are OK. Yet I haven't been able to get any news from my village. It's about 200 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake, so I'm hoping it didn't suffer serious damage.
But Nepal will continue to suffer, in the same sad way, until its leaders put aside their differences. Maybe, just maybe, the earthquake will force them to come together.
That won't quiet the fish under the ground, which is certain to flop again. But it will surely make things better for the brave souls who live above it.

Welcome to the tenth straight year of GagaDaily's 24 Days of Christmas! Join us every day for a digital gift! We promise many delectable treats for your laptops, Itunes, and collections of Gaga. Every day, a new gift is revealed on the Calendar, until the 24th day, when the last gift is revealed. Every year since 2009, the Media moderators of this site (Sam McGlone [2009-2011] and myself [2010-present]) have gathered together digital treasures (and physical ones!) to celebrate the holidays with you, our fellow members. This year we continue that custom, with many generous donations from all of you, to give back to the fan community that sustains and inspires us every year -- and to celebrate Gaga's mission and message together. Many years featured leaks of unreleased material (may we be forever as blessed as 2011 was!) and often we discovered rare and hard to find things like photoshoots, Lady Gaga paper dolls, and even stems and demos that hadn't seen the light of day in a while. We also have given away Gaga merch, whole Christmas trees, Gaga decorations, Mp3 compilations, and tons of cool old things you may never have seen or had forgotten about entirely. Gaga surprised everyone in the fanbase in 2011 by leaking a song on Christmas Day. (We do have fingers hopefully crossed that such an event might maybe occur again (that would be paradise, wouldn't it?) -- but not knowing adds to the thrill and suspense! Spoiler (Special extremely important note -- if you were a winner last year , and you didn't get your prize that i emailed you about, email me ASAP at the24daysofchristmas at yahoo dot com OR chicaskas at gmail dot com and I will make sure personally that you get what you won last time. I know several of you didn't get back to me or missed a connection with me and I want to make that right.) @JEREMY I really need your new address by the way. I still have your gift from last year This year we are delighted to be up and running again, albeit a few days late. If you have a piece of rare or unique or unusual Gaga material, message me on the emails above and I will give you credit for it (or no credit if you want!) What are we looking for? Anything interesting or unique. Digital is preferable, as that means more members like you can download it and save it on your computers. - unusual or unheard audio or video or images - Lady Gaga featured on products or accessories (Gaga paper dolls, Gaga as a cat lipgloss ) - remix compilations - interviews, old or new videos, or sound in HQ Your contributions to our Advent Calendar are welcome! If you wish to donate something to our advent calendar, or to offer suggestions, you can email me here at this email address: the24daysofchristmas at yahoo dot com. You can donate whatever you like, but please give credit where credit is due, and don't upload anything too objectionable in nature. Let's all come together and have a good time, and a very Happy Holiday season to every one of you. So, sit back, make a few clicks, and enjoy the Christmas spirit of giving and receiving! -- C.

The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Seal Harbor, Maine was created between 1926 and 1930 by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and noted garden designer Beatrix Farrand. Set within acres of moss-carpeted woods, the garden is designed to be at floral peak in August. Its unique atmosphere is derived from a combination of Eastern statuary with a border garden in which perennials build the foundation of the flower beds and annuals provide an explosion of color.
The "Spirit Path," located on the west side of garden invites visitors to stroll past six pairs of Korean tomb figures. These pieces, along with other Asian sculptures from Japan, China, and Korea, are integral components of the garden. They are thoughtfully placed to engender a subdued and meditative environment.
In 1961 David Rockefeller, Sr.'s wife Peggy took on responsibility for each year's design of the flower beds. After Peggy's death in 1996 her daughter, Neva Goodwin, continued the tradition. With the 2017 bequest from Mr. Rockefeller the Land & Garden Preserve took ownership and responsibility for the garden.
The history as well as the palpable ambience of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden create a sense of present, past and future flowing together. I have a memory of one late afternoon in September when I went for a last walk in the garden before the season's end. The Seal Harbor fog was so thick that only the flowers nearest my feet glowed forth their colors; those a little way ahead were pale ghosts that just breathed into life as I came upon them. As I walked slowly along the paths I began to imagine other ghosts hidden by the fog – in particular two ladies in long skirts and large flowered hats, one with kid gloves up to her elbows. I could almost hear them talking about the garden together, planning, enjoying, remembering.
It was not new to me to feel in the garden the presence of these two remarkable women – Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and Beatrix Farrand – who had brought together so much beauty. This garden is a very living place, responding readily to new ideas, new people, new circumstances. Perhaps this is because it carries so securely the imprint of those who have loved it ever since it began.

John D., Jr. and Abby's former home, The Eyrie, was removed in 1963, yet the family chose to preserve the home's terrace. Today the terrace provides a quiet walk for guests of the garden, and a view to the outer islands and the stretching Atlantic beyond them.
The Abby Garden is open from mid-July until early September. Visitation is by reservation only. The number of visitors is limited to ensure the quality of each visitor's experience and to protect the wellbeing of the garden.

Love is the master word of this project: their Love of course, but also Love of wine, noble product of the Earth and Love of the challenges: to make wines "Haute Couture", in Organic Farming, in Roussillon, and to make it known throughout the world.
Séverine grew up in Africa (hence her love for travel and open spaces) and returned to Bordeaux, her hometown to learn her work as an oenologist: what she is passionate about is alchemy as every different year turns grapes into wine.
Séverine will adapt her knowledge to the southern grape varieties (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre …) and to the special conditions of the Roussillon terroir (arid lands, heat, drought) to create supple and fruity cuvées.
Her knowledge is applied in the barrel-aging of Syrah from three different terroirs, allowing it to obtain the silky tannins of Infiniment, Velours Noir and Secret de Schistes, regularly awarded in national and international competitions.
Her passion is unanimously recognized by the wine professionals and by all those who have been able to listen to her talk about her work.
