The company was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, and is based in Ventura, California. Patagonia, Inc. is an American clothing company that sells outdoor clothing for various adventures. Its logo is the skyline of Cerro Fitz Roy in Patagonia.
Yvon Chouinard, an accredited rock climber, began selling hand forged mountain climbing gear in 1957 through his company Chouinard Equipment. He worked alone selling his gear until 1965 when he partnered with Tom Frost in order to improve his products.
In the 1970's, collared shirts were designed and implemented into his merchandise line and quickly became the primary product sold. In 1989, Chouinard Equipment filed for bankruptcy. Yvon Chouinard later sold off the climbing gear side of the business and retained the profitable soft goods (clothing) division of the company which had already been rebranded as Patagonia.

I am one of those people that loves a tan, it's that simple. I enjoy how my skin looks with a sun-kissed glow that not only makes me look healthier but feel better about myself. For years and years now the only Faux tan brand i have used has been Utan & Tone.
Utan and Tone is the innovative Scottish brand created by Michelle Mone and manufactured in Britain. Using the best natural and cruelty free products it not only incorporates incredible skincare into each gradual tan product but also combines skin toning and firming properties too. It's time to say goodbye to that smelly, orange, faux tan of old and embrace the naturally glowing Utan and Tone collection. Summer is coming and it has never been faster or easier to add a glow to your skin.
Utan & Tone are launching a very exclusive collection for QVCUK available as a Todays Special Value for one day only or whilst stocks last on 25th May 2018. The collection contains three products that have a non faff approach to tanning and a new and exclusive launch.
Tan Accelerating Coconut Tanning Water 360 degree Body Mist 185ml –
Every body knows that my absolute favourite product from Utan & Tone is the Coconut Water Face Mist (HERE) I literally use it ever other night to create the most naturally pretty glow to my skin. Imagine my sheer delight when i discovered this was now available in a Body Mist! Exclusively launching on QvcUK. Not only does this super fine mist spray bring the most gorgeous bronzed glow to the skin, thanks to the organic self tanning actives, but when used consecutively for 4-10 days it can increase the skins natural melanin production. The revolutionary tan activating ingredients used are proven to reduce UV induced redness and dehydrated skin whilst prolonging and enhancing a natural tan. Winning product in my book. Easy to use 2-3 times per week, you literally press and spray. Thanks to the unique 360 degree angle, every part of the body can be covered.
Gradual Tan + Accelerator 100ml –
Containing Cocoa and Coconut extracts, Hyaluronic Acid, Soothing Aloe and a Natural tan accelerator, not only does this product smell absolutely amazing, but it makes the most gorgeous body lotion. Silky upon the skin, it melts in quickly and easily leaving no sticky residue behind meaning you can dress quickly. Perfect to use 4-10 days before sun exposure and also as your body lotion whilst on holiday, these leave a lovely glow and hydration to the skin that lasts all day. There is absolutely no biscuit smell what-so-ever just a wonderful scent of coconut. If you really want to maintain a fabulous tan or encourage your own gradual glow, this is great to use on the days you are not using the Tan Accelerating Coconut Tanning Water. For beautifully glowing skin, this is a Summer must have.
Nourishing Night Cream 50ml –
Enriched with antioxidants and Vitamins C, B5, B6, B9 & K this feels like a beautiful, luxurious night cream which is full of hyaluronic acid to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. This feels really nourishing on the skin and does not smudge off onto the pillow. Super easy to use, just press down the air tight, cushion top which dispenses a pre-measured dose and apply evenly over the face avoiding your eyebrows, and massaging carefully around the jawline and hairline. This would be my night product to keep an existing tan topped up as I did find that upon cleansing my face in the morning some of the product disappeared, so for that reason I wouldn't count on this product alone to give me a faux tan, but for use throughout the summer or on holiday this would be perfect.
This collection is perfect for anyone that wants an easy to apply Summer tan that looks natural, leaves the skin looking healthy and fresh and lightly scented with Coconut. Obviously SPF must be applied at all times when out and about in the sun and always wash your hands after applying any of these products. As someone that has happily used Utan & Tone products with absolutely no streaking or running, for many years, this is a collection that i would highly recommend.
Available from QVCUK HERE on 25th May 2018 only whilst stocks last. If bought direct these products would cost around £61.50 however this collection will be under £30.00
Have you tried Utan & Tone? I have many more products from the brand that i will be featuring over the Summer, if there is a product in particular that you love, let me know below.

I would also be interested in this resource. And I would also be interested in some of the others who have sermon archives available through Logos but not (yet) through Accordance, such as D. A. Carson, John Piper, and J. D. Greear.
There seem to be strong links between The Gospel Coalition and Logos, but hopefully that wouldn't produce exclusive deals that restrict access to these resources, especially since most people can't afford to purchase two full software packages.

Police with gang or organized crime ties huh? No shit sherlock...
When is America going to get it? The old crime families went legit through investment they didn't all get busted and disappear. Italians don't get busted and just disappear..we've been around running the world far to long to allow that to happen. Like Rome reinvented its power into the Church through which to rule so power structures often reinvent themselves. The British royal family has changed its name for certain reasons decades ago and so on.
African American gangs usually can't do it by themselves. They need the backing and.support of old crime families as well as legit or semi legit powers like the CIA (see Iran Contra). Thats why with the massive amount of African Americans in the gs networks you don't have to wonder very hard where they fit in.
When one music label.I can think of.from.the 90s tried to.go.on.their own all of a sudden the feds came down on them. Why did they think they were untouchable enough to do this? See above.
The system we live in keeps slaves..end of story. You're supposed to kiss their ass to have a life or get anything done..and that is especially true now.more than ever. Anyone who succeeds nowadays I wouldn't trust worth a shit unless their.family has money and connections.
And I see clearly now that America's laws are meaningless. And the only thing Americans understand or respond to is wealth or violent action taken against them or the show of that capacity.
My being alive and able to move on with my life as is, is supposed to be an example of how there is indeed justice ib the USA.
Yet if my value as a human experimentee wasn't considered then where would I be? Granted I think alot of justice was done covertly on my behalf by unknown parties becuz it was obvious I didn't deserve this and I was a nice person fairly innocent of what was going on around me. Perhaps that was the motive for justice. That there are still stand up people out there who feel messing with naive women to that extent was just a bit much.
But why must it be covert on covert? Im probably being naive again but why have laws if only covert action is going to get justice?

The city of Singapore experiences average temperature throughout the year and almost prevail pleasant weather. None of the months in the year are too hot or too cold. The month of January is colder in comparison to the other months of the year. Whereas February is the hottest month of Singapore and to the surprise, December is the wettest month of Singapore. As there is a variation in the weather of the consecutive months December, January, and February in Singapore, so proper and intense care of the skin should be taken especially by the Singaporean girls to avoid the roughness in the skin surface.
via ZULA.sg
Best Possible Ways to Soften the Skin
There are several possible ways to keep the skin supple and soft during the fluctuated weather conditions in which the skin might get response harshly. Thus few such ways to take proper care of the skin in Singapore are as follows:
- As suggested by the Salon in Singapore, the girls should choose the moisturizer carefully with the presence of natural and nourishing ingredients. Some moisturizers have petroleum-based ingredients that can dry the skin in the winter months. ZULA.sg can give you better reviews about different products.
- To protect the skin from cold winds, and rain, people should wear gloves and should never forget to apply sunscreen over the skin.
- On installing a humidifier in the bedroom, one can put moisture back into the air and thus can help in preventing the skin from drying out.
- The drier areas of the body like the hands, elbows, feet, and knees have thin skin that tends to lose moisture faster than the other areas on the body. So all the drier areas of the body should be adequately moisturized overnight and should cover those areas overnight by gloves and socks.
- Everybody needs to use an exfoliating mask on the face and hands and gently on the lips as well to remove the dead cells and then immediately should be followed by applying moisturizer on the face and hands to experience a smoother difference.
- Hydrating the skin from inside out is highly important during the winters. So eating foods with high water content can help in hydrating the skin like watermelon, oranges, apples, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, etc.
- The use of cleansers often dries the skin. Thus cleansers should be chosen with a more hydrating version that contains moisturizing ingredients.
- The homemade hydrating mask can be a perfect solution for providing the needed moisture in the skin during the colder months. The natural moisturizing ingredients like yogurt, honey, avocado, olive, banana, jojoba oil, almonds oil, and aloe vera can be a useful source of hydration in the skin.
- The allergens and the irritants should be avoided during the winter months to avoid the flare-up in the skin, and thus mild cleansers and the moisturizers for sensitive skin should always be used in these months.
- Apart from these protections, the face and hands should always be washed with lukewarm water to avoid stripping of oils away from the skin.

Threat comes as Britain, France and US gear up for another push for sanctions resolution.
Iran on Sunday warned it would hit back with an appropriate response to new UN Security Council sanctions over its contested nuclear programme, as Western powers stepped up efforts to punish Tehran.
Britain, France and the US are pushing for a new sanctions resolution in the coming week after the UN atomic watchdog said it could still not confirm if the Iranian atomic drive was peaceful.
"In the case of the adoption of the resolution, we will make a deserving action. We will announce our decision at the right time based on the content of the resolution," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday warned of "firm reprisals" against any country leading the way to impose new sanctions, adding that Iran was "not joking".
"They could spend 100 years passing resolutions but it will not change anything," he said in an interview with state television.
Neither Hosseini or Ahmadinejad gave any details over exactly what Iran's response could involve.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Friday in its latest report that it had made "quite good progress" in its four year-probe into the Iranian nuclear drive.
But crucially for future sanctions, the report said it was still not in a position to determine the "full nature of Iran's nuclear programme" and confirmed Tehran was continuing to defy UN demands by enriching uranium.
The report met with starkly different responses from Western capitals and Tehran.
Iranian officials said the report proved that the nuclear case was now closed, with Ahmadinejad hailing the "historic victory of Iran in its greatest confrontation with the oppressive powers since the Islamic revolution".
But US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the report provided "a very strong case" for moving forward with a third UN Security Council sanctions resolution to punish Tehran's failure to suspend enrichment.
"It is our firm belief that there is all the more reason now for the Security Council to pass a third sanctions resolution," added US Assistant Secretary for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns.
Iran has defied calls in previous resolutions for it to freeze uranium enrichment operations, a sensitive process world powers fear could be used to make nuclear weapons.
Tehran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful and only aimed at generating atomic energy for a growing population whose immense oil and gas reserves will run out in decades.
Meanwhile, top Iranian cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani accused the US of unbalancing IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei's "mental state" by submitting secret documents just days before the report.
"The US has submitted a stack of documents to disrupt ElBaradei's mental state and has been successful to some extent," said the head of the elite clerical body the Assembly of Experts, according to the state IRNA agency.
Washington was to host a new round of talks between world powers on Monday ahead of a council meeting on Wednesday and a vote on the resolution text on Friday, US officials said.
The draft text has been brought forward by Britain and France and it remains to be seen how veto-wielding members China and Russia will respond. Four non-permanent members are also said to harbour reservations.
The draft would impose a travel ban on officials involved in Tehran's nuclear and missile programmes and inspections of shipments to and from Iran if there are suspicions they may contain prohibited goods.
But Hosseini brushed off the prospect of further sanctions, saying that they could only cause "slight problems" for the Islamic republic.
Israel, Iran's arch regional enemy which accuses Tehran of seeking a nuclear weapon, again called for tougher action against the Islamic republic.
"Iran is still a threat to the world, it still wants a nuclear weapon and we have to act against that and against companies cooperating with Iran," Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon told public radio.

STAR scrummager Nick Schonert insists Sixways is a "great place to be" as he looks poised to extend his stay at Worcester Warriors.
The prop's current deal expires at the end of this season, but he revealed contract negotiations had started and said: "I am really happy with where I am."
A knee injury forced Schonert to miss the start of Warriors' Gallagher Premiership campaign. But the 28-year-old is now back fit and will start against Sale Sharks at Sixways on Saturday (3pm).
Schonert is a key component of Warriors' scrum and is on the fringes of the England squad as he pushes for his first cap.
Many players have departed during Schonert's five years at the club but the tighthead who made his 100th appearance for Warriors in May is continuing to enjoy life under director of rugby Alan Solomons.
When asked whether contract talks had started, Schonert said: "There have been discussions.
"There are loads of things to weigh up so we will just have to see what happens.
"People leave the club and in a year's time they talk about wanting to come back. That speaks for itself.
"I know in the past we might not have got the rugby right but off the field I think it's one of the best.
"We will have to see what happens in the future. I can't give too much away."
Schonert has seen numerous changes to Warriors' coaching team since his arrival from Cheetahs in 2014 but has become a big fan of the vastly-experienced Solomons who took over the reins in December 2017.
"I think the main thing is not to be complacent with anything," Schonert said on working under Solomons.
"You have to remain driven and Solly has a great way of always keeping you on your toes.
"I really like the way he runs things.
"At the moment I am really happy with where I am and just really want to get back on the field and get this injury behind me."
Schonert has also been delighted by the improvements at Sixways thanks to investment from co-owners Colin Goldring and Jason Whittingham who joined the club last year.
"They have done a lot for the club in the short time they have been here," Schonert said.
"They have created more of a family feel at the ground with the kids zone and the new lights.
"They are showing a lot of investment.
"For the boys, it's always nice to play when there are new things. You always get excited about that. It's great place to be."
Schonert sustained knee ligament damage in Warriors' Premiership Cup defeat at Bath in September.
He was initially expected to be sidelined for three months but made an early return to action in last week's European Challenge Cup match at Castres when he came off the bench in the second half.
"It's great to be back," Schonert said.
"Eight weeks out for any player is too long.
"Thankfully at this club we have got tremendous backroom staff that got me back fit and firing and ready to go.
"Sale are a class outfit so it will be a really good game to test ourselves.
"We want to win at home and play for our fans. It will be a great occasion."
Sale sit in third position on 11 points but like seventh-placed Warriors they have also won two and lost two. On facing Sharks' pack, Schonert added: "They have a great front row.
"Ross Harrison is one of the best scrummagers as well as being a lovely bloke.
"They have big forwards and know how to use their pack. They are a quality team."

Hey Karen and Aidan...Amazing Posts!
"Face of dick!" This is what my student called another one in my Middle School group during our rowdy game of "Go Fish" where apparently anything goes. After fifty minutes of conversation and grammar, they just can't control their teen hormones and foul mouths, so they let it all rip those last ten minutes. Yeah, I can hang with them, after all, foul language is a part of the language experience...SO, I had to correct him, it did take me a couple of minutes to compose myself - they kill me...yes, he now knows that "Face of dick" is more correctly known as "Dickface!"
And...I had to help one of my high school students translate Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" for an oral exam that analyzes some type of text. Not quite sure it's the best song for the job, but one thing is for sure, her presentation will hold the professor's attention. Hmmm...I just really want you to understand the many subtleties that added together form my freaking insane life these days.
I was MIA on Thursday because I was busy getting busy on V-Day. So...I missed Karen Mayes' blog and now I have about 15 minutes to get deep on this subject before I have to go and not come back. So...Karen raised an interesting point:
What disturbs me is the oppression of CI people by Deaf people. CI people would be accepted only if they know ASL. It does not make sense to me… because that is very conditional, very isolating, a way to let them know that they are not normal until they learn ASL. Are we seeing oppression in action now, in DeafRead? Instead, while they claim to welcome CI people because they are deaf just like them, BUT only if… the CI people took up ASL. If they see no need for ASL, fine, the doors are then slammed shut in their faces, proving the claims of the deaf community as being exclusive sadly correct. Where is Deafhood in this?
I am here posting and sharing on deafread.com conscious of the fact that the Deaf community asserts a passionate need for its members to be fluent in ASL to be recognized not as being deaf in and of itself, but as proof that the person is truly in touch with and accepting of himself or herself as a Deaf individual. It is my impression that the combination of the two elements ASL and being deaf are requirements for true membership.
Then, in one of the best blogs I have EVER read, Aidan Mack writes:
The concept of "Deafhood" encourages the acceptance of all different kinds of Deaf people. Deafhood is a journey where we examine ourselves as Deaf people, and make the effort to push ourselves to higher levels, rather than focus on the medical term "deafness" which puts the focus on broken ears and detracts from putting the focus where it belongs, i.e., on the person as a whole and complete person. Deafhood always emphasizes the acceptance of all kinds of Deaf people. I was invited, as a special guest, to attend a session of three-credit Deafhood course offered by David Eberwein as the instructor. I was overwhelmed and felt a sense of awe in seeing all the different kinds of Deaf people at the class, including oral deaf people, deaf people with cochlear implants, and those who grew up in mainstream classes. There were even hearing people attending the class.
And Aidan's point is well taken...people like my son and myself are accepted, but not truly members...yet.
I have learned a couple of things in my journey with my son. First of all, Aidan says, "ASL is our BIRTHRIGHT," I respectfully reply that NO language is a birthright, it is an acquired communication method chosen based on a person's environment and ability. I would have said that English was my son's birthright, instead it happened to have been Italian, with English a close second. I had to learn Italian because our journey in Deafhood dictated such, I became part of another culture for my son...learning a new language does not scare me, it's only a matter of finding the time...and the teacher. Each culture must be respected and those who are not native to that culture must be the ones to adapt, because the culture sure as hell isn't going to adapt to you.
I am adapting.
Karen wrote:
BUT, CI is very much part of the deaf community, same as very much part of the hearing community and they are really the bridges between two worlds. They could help us understand the hearing world and they could help hearing people to understand the deaf world.
Aidan wrote:
We in the Deaf community have many hearing friends who are parents of Deaf children. These are parents who respect ASL and want to learn about our community. They are open minded, and they want the best for their Deaf children. They don't look down on us or harbor prejudices toward us. It is perfectly fine for people to see things from each other's differing perspectives, engage in spirited discussions, and still be friends.
I am adapting...
Bloggers are building bridges.

Hey thanks for a wonderful blog!
Everyone has his/her own opinions and we have seen at how some blogs touch some people's nerves, so they react. *shrug* I am for communication for ALL people and I do notice that some people think I am against deaf people (me, against deaf people? When my daughter goes to Bi Bi deaf school, when I am writing letters to Dr. Marra about ISD being more of a school than a state agency in order for ISD to get more funding, I hang out with deaf friends, I got my hometown's school district to agree that one middle school have a support service program for all deaf mainstreamed 5th graders to go there instead of being solitaries, etc.)
As I have said several times... it is all perspectives and when one's perspective does not mesh other's perspective, disagreement would result.
I am just moving on with the topics for my future blogs :o)

I know, Jodi.
I'd envy your children who have spoken in four languages. Comprehending and acknowledging are the ones that the young kids to know about the culturally language itself. That is a huge accomplishment where you and the kids are in right now.
You should be grateful for putting your kids into the right place at the right time.
There are lots of disagreements I have with Aidan in her blog. I want to make a point is that the babies with the CIs are the posterity. As you can see that there are 90 percent of the hearing parents with the deaf babies who are now implanted are in the posterity.

It is the best for the babies to obtain the literacy.

Aidan's article is rife with contradictions.
The first, she wrote, "When they try to point the finger at Deaf people as being bad guys, what they are actually doing is projecting and revealing what they think of themselves."
Really? Someone please tell me the name of Aidan's article.
Then, she wrote, "The Deaf community is beautiful! Deaf people have a true heart for all kinds of other people, so long as they respect ASL and respect Deaf people's choice to embrace their own Deaf being. They have right to speak up as long as people are not personally targeted."
What was the name of the article, again?
- February 16, 2008 at 12:46 PM
It is getting too old now. It s time to come out of the closet. Intelligent deafies don't care what you are trying to do. This is getting too old. Try not to ruffle the deafies to feed on your energy.
You and Mike.. tsk tsk tsk

Hi Jodi,
Birthright means a right or privilege that you are entitled to at birth; "free public education is the birthright of every American child"
Deaf Americans and Candians uses American Sign Language.
Deaf Italians uses Italian Sign Language or LIS (Lingua Italiana dei Segni).
I love Aidan's post. She is the best.
- February 16, 2008 at 2:14 PM
There is nothing worse than a hearing person telling a deaf person what is and is not their birthright. Try walking in Aiden and million's of other Deaf people's shoes and maybe you will change your mind.
You have a lot to learn and I hope you do before your son grows up and wants to learn sign language to fit into his own community.
You spend all this time helping your son learn other languages but are missing the one that he really will benefit from. Why are you fighting it??

I read your blog this morning and came back because I needed a break from the sick other-half :) Nothing new to add and frankly I don't feel like I can intelligently comment on anything today, but I LOVE the song. You made me smile on a day that smiles are hard to come by.

Huh, I'd like to share something with you...part of my father's email about what he said about your blog ;o)
"I read the blog from the woman living in Italy with her CI son. I enjoyed it very much. Some what related, I have been listening to lectures on great novels and today the professor was talking about how useless words are. They are horrible representations of what we see, feel, think and indeed say. What exactly do the words honor, faith, melancholy, blue, beautiful, upset, lovingly etc. etc. mean? People, hearing and I assume deaf, will argue along the lines, "You said (fill in the blank) which tells me you mean (fill in the blank). Answer, "I said (fill in the blank) but not with that inflection you just used which changes what I meant." A recent book was written by a woman and the title was something along "Are You Wearing That Dress?" a question asked of a daughter by her mother. You can have a lot of fun with that question depending in what context the question was asked, the relationship between the mother and daughter and the different inflections used in the asking. Maybe it is a simple question or maybe it is a criticism. Words mean what ever we say they mean. They are always contextual and suffer from different interpretations. But words are wonderful and can paint beautiful pictures. The professor talks about a scene in a Faulkner novel where the character goes out at night to take a drink from the bucket of water with a dipper and says he scatters the stars with the dipper, bringing alive the image of the reflection of the stars in the bucket but also eluding to the idea of the Bid Dipper and Little Dipper scattering the night stars. Might be an area you might want to open to discussion with your group. I assume there are misinterpretation in ASL as well as the hearing world. It would be productive to see how people can learn not only how to hear each other but how to listen to what each is trying to say with the inadequate tools of words and signs.
One last thought. Scientist use the term "sensory probes" when discussing our senses. Touch, hearing, sight, smell are all sensory probes used to navigate our environment. What do you call deaf or sightless animals??? Lunch.. Many people do not like the idea but we too are animals and if we do not have the full use of all our senses we are at an disadvantage to compete. You will not wind up as someone else's lunch, but deafness is a disadvantage. Seems reasonable to me one would want to improve his or her completive position, by getting an education, staying healthy, using a wheel chair if crippled, Braille if blind and maybe a cochlea implant if deaf. I plan on getting a hearing aide when my hearing falters. I do not plan on joining my local ASL group to discover my deaf heritage. Do you think I would be a happier, more complete person if I had joined some German Society when I was young to get in touch with my German heritage? I think it is wonderful that there is a support group to turn to that gives the history of the deaf and sense of pride the ASL groups intend to offer. But limit their appeal by requiring conformity..."

Maija Isola 1964
Marimekko's famous poppy pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time, when the design house's collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity. Marimekko Kioski translates adds yet another contemporary dimension to the print.
Design Maija Isola 1956
Kivet (stones) pattern builds on circles cut with scissors. The pattern was
most likely inspired by the rough-edged stones that were manually cleared from
the designer's atelier home's grounds.
Design Annika Rimala 1968
jeans started to become increasingly popular among both women and men, Annika Rimala
wanted to design a collection of cotton jersey clothes to go with jeans. For
all denim lovers, regardless of age, size or gender. That's how Marimekko's
first cotton jersey collection was born. Evenly striped, expressing equality.
Design Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi
1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric
pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika
(every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in shops and the streets – for
good, it seems.

Sutton Salt Lake
New Zealand's only inland salt lake, with water about half as salty as seawater
With no outlet, Sutton Salt Lake has concentrated salts from surrounding soils as it has repeatedly filled, evaporated and refilled.
Nestled amongst the spectacular parallel rock tor ridges of Sutton, with a backdrop of the Rock and Pillar Range, the lake (approximately8 ha) occupies an enclosed shallow basin in the schist rock landscape.
Salt tolerant herbs and grasses occupy the lake margins, although in a dry summer the lake dries up completely, only to refill again during the winter. A range of water birds and waders use the lake, feeding on the tiny salt-adapted aquatic animals, including copepods, rotifers and water beetles.
Enjoy the loop walk around the lake, it will take 40 - 60 minutes and is described as easy.
Dogs are not permitted.

NEWSLETTER Life Lessons fromMyDad Happy Father's Day
I am blessed to have an awesome father and I am grateful for the many life lessons that he has taught me along the way that have helped shape the person that I am today. Being that we are in the month of June and that Father's Day is this month, I thought I would share some of the lessons I've learned from my Dad. 1. Any job worth doing, is worth doing right. Growing up I had many opportunities to work alongside my dad in the garden, mowing the lawn, doing the dishes, etc. I learned early on that if the job wasn't done right that it would have to be done again until it was right. His attention to detail was evident as he would look over my work and at the end he would often say, "Doesn't feel good to do a good job?" 2. Enjoy the work that you do. My father was always whistling a tune when we would work together, something I continue to do to this day. Many of you know when I am coming into a treatment room because of my whistle – I got that from my Dad. He instructed me when I was in my teens to find a profession that you love, and then you'll never have to work a day in your life. While I could do without all the paperwork, the interaction I have with each of you, makes my job really enjoyable. 3. Choose to be Happy and to look for the good. I heard many times growing up, "You have a choice today. You can choose to focus on the good and be happy, or you can choose to focus on the bad and be sad, so choose wisely." I continue to share the same phrases with my own children. With all
of the negative news that we are inundated with, I think it is important that each of us look for the good. 4.Have Fun! While many of the lessons I learned involved working together, I also was taught the importance of having fun. Whether it was playing sports, going to events, playing games, singing around the piano, water skiing, snow skiing, or other activities, we had a lot of fun. One of the fun things I got to do with my Dad, was each year for my birthday in February he would pull me out of school and we would go skiing for the day, they were really fun days. These are just a few of the life lessons that I learned along the way. I am thankful for my Dad and the things that he has taught me and that he continues to teach me. I am grateful to be a father and for the opportunity I have to share some of these things with them. I hope that each of you will have an awesome Father's Day!

Using a bike rack is the safest way to transport bikes by car. But choosing the right bike rack for your car will depend on a number of factors.
The most important consideration is that they can be locked – both to the car and to the bikes they're transporting – otherwise, the next time you spot your bikes, they could be advertised for sale on an auction website.
Price and the suitability of fitment to your car also need to be considered. In independent tests, expensive, fancy branded bike carriers have been found to be inferior to far more affordable versions from companies such as Halfords.
There are three types of carrier. Roof-mounted bike racks typically attach to roof rails; strap-mounted bike carriers hang off the rear of a car; and tow bar-mounted carriers can be used on cars fitted with a tow bar. We guide you through the pros and cons of all three.
Roof-mounted bike carriers work best for most cars
Arguably the most practical way to carry bikes is on the roof. They ensure that access to the boot is unhindered and rear visibility unrestricted, you don't need to buy extra lights or a spare registration plate, and the additional weight of the carrier and bikes is spread evenly across the footprint of the car. Also, if desired, you should be able to attach a roof box to the same crossbars used to carry bikes.
Typically, roof-mounted bike carriers attach to a pair of bars that span the width of the car. These mount to either raised roof rails or latch directly into the car's roof.
If your car has raised roof rails, prices for a pair of cross bars start from £50 for a family car, such as the current generation Nissan Qashqai. For the same car without roof rails, the cross bars are a bit more expensive, starting from £75. A good place to start your research is The Roof Box Company.
You can then buy as many bike carriers as you need. For one carrier, prices begin at a very reasonable £15 and rise to more than £100. Don't be tempted to buy fancy brands and pay a premium price: in tests performed by Cycling Weekly, it was the cheapest carriers that left it most impressed.
Some carriers have a bar that braces the bike's frame, others require the front wheel to be removed. Don't bother with the latter for everyday bikes. It's important to check that a bike is stable in any carrier, as it will be subject to strong headwinds and crosswinds.
If you have a particularly high car, you may want to invest in a plastic step stool, which costs less than £10 and will get you to a comfortable height so that loading and securing bikes is less of a chore.
Verdict: The most practical, universal choice
Rear-mounted bike carriers attach to the back of a car
These can suit either a saloon or hatchback body shape with prices starting from around £60. There's generally no need to buy extra fixtures and fittings to attach the rack to your car; everything you'll need will come with the product. Also, they create less drag for the car, so should have less impact on fuel economy than roof-mounted bike racks.
However, there are downsides to using rear-mounted bike racks. Your view out of the back of the car will be obscured, and if the registration plate is hidden, you'll need a spare plate and illuminated board to display it on.
Several bikes and a rack will be putting considerable pressure on the body parts that the rack is in contact with. So there is a chance paint may be scratched or panels could end up being deformed.
It also pays to check how much clearance there is between each bike. Pete Campbell of Pearson Cycles in Sutton, south-west London (recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest bike shop) warns there may be some lateral and longitudinal movement at speed: "If there is movement at speed, at best paintwork will be damaged, at worst carbon-fibre frames can be broken."
Verdict: Easy to load but could damage your bikes and car
Tow-bar mounted bike carriers only work with a tow bar
You'll need a tow bar to be already fitted to your vehicle for these to make any financial or practical sense. Their appeal is that they can hold up to five bikes, and some feature built-in locks, lights and indicators, or may fold out of the way so the boot can be opened.
However, even if they do fold clear of the boot, access will still be impeded. And as with rear-mounted racks, you need to check that the bikes don't come into contact with each other, or they could be damaged. And then there's the small, or rather, a large matter of the price. These are the most expensive option for drivers, costing from around £100 and rising to as much as £550.
Verdict: Only suited to cars fitted with a tow bar

HRMS Bulletin: Nov. 21, 2018
By Robert Boudreau on November 21, 2018
Payroll Portfolios Reassigned
To better serve customers, Payroll has reassigned portfolios for both faculty and staff. Please visit the "Payroll Contacts for Staff" and "Payroll Contacts for Faculty" hyperlinks on this page to get familiar with the portfolio updates.
Mandatory Privacy and Information Security Training:
Per Professor Ono's broadcast email of October 11, 2018, the UBC Executive has made the online 'Privacy and Information Security – Fundamentals' training mandatory for all faculty, staff, researchers, student employees and contractors who use UBC Electronic Information and Systems.
Training is taken in Canvas and records of completion are transferred into HRMS. HRMS Administrators can run Query 908 or 910 to check completion for their employees.
Note: HR administrators are requested to complete their training as a matter of priority.
What causes completion records to not show up in HRMS for your employees?
- A delay in HRMS receiving new training records from Canvas (up to 2 days).
- An individual not fully completing the training (the employee can log into Canvas to verify completion).
- An employee using a CWL to sign on to Canvas that has no employee ID associated with it.
- This most often occurs with student employees.
- Instructions on how a CWL user can associate an employee ID can be found here.
- This likely will require assistance from you (providing the employee number and PIN they'll need to do the association).
- PIN's can be found in HRMS by using the following navigation: Workforce Administration, Personal Information, Biographical, Modify a Person. The employee's PIN is in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Once an employee ID is associated with a CWL, it may take up to 24 hours for training records to be updated into HRMS.
With proof of completion, it's also possible for departmental administrators to update an employee's training records in HRMS manually. Please refer to December 2016 HRMS bulletin for instructions.
If you have any concerns or questions on the above, please contact email@example.com
HRMS Bulletin: June 11, 2018

New Student Worklearn Report
Several Query reports include information on student employees, but none specifically devoted to tracking hours and pay for Worklearn projects. A new Query report has been created (611_WORKLEARN) that hopefully does this.
When running the Query, you'll be prompted to enter the start and end date of the session you're interested in tracking. For example, May to August of 2018. For the time frame requested, the pay detail of each employee is listed, along with total hours and pay for each individual employee. If Project # and Project Max Hours were recorded on a student's hire record, you will also see this information.
You can continue to re-run the Query (using the same session dates) after the session is over to pick up any payments processed after session completion.
This was a difficult report to transition to the Query reporting tool. If you see any issues or have suggestions for improvement, please contact Robert Boudreau.

FRDI 'Hajamat': Don't Worry I Won't Shoot, Then Why the Gun
Finance Ministry's assurances are illusory
The Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance (FRDI) Bill 2017, is intended to resolve the financial distress that may develop in financial institutions (called "financial service providers"), specifically in banks.
It is also intended to provide a basis for providing depositors in banks with a degree of assurance that a specified minimum of deposits will be secure in the event of a financial crisis in the bank. The method of doing this is by raising a Resolution Corporation (RC) with appropriate powers.
RBI's Financial Stability Report, 2016, mentions that by forming a Resolution Corporation (RC), India would be adhering to the Financial Stability Board's (FSB) "Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions" published in October 2014. FSB is an international organization established in 2009, to regulate international financial reform. So apparently, the FRDI Bill is intended to comply with international best practices in our national financial management.
Since this is about banks and their financial stability, it is well to note that banks survive by providing loans and earning interest on the loans provided. The capital for providing loans is from institutional and individual depositors, both small and large, who as creditors, earn interest on their deposits from the bank.
The bank uses its capital to provide loans. Simplistically put, when interest is not paid by a borrower, the bank takes measures to recover the interest and the principal. These measures include recovering the security based upon which the loan was provided, issuing legal notice to the guarantor to pay up, legally auctioning the borrower's property to realise the moneys due, and taking civil or criminal action against the borrower.
If the amount due is not fully realised after auctioning the assets of the defaulting borrower, the unobtainable balance is "written-off" from the books with the concurrence of Ministry of Finance (MoF) and RBI. These methods are in use, but when the amounts are very large and the borrowers are politically very powerful, and in particular for public sector banks (PSBs), Government of India (GoI) provides money to the PSBs from public funds to "bail out" the bank. This is not unlike the case of a person arrested by police being bailed out of judicial custody by a friend who pays the bail money.
According to one estimate, GoI has been providing the big corporations tax holidays by excusing corporate income tax and excise and customs duties of around Rs.90 lakh-crores in the 11-years period 2005-2016, reflected as "Revenue foregone" in successive budgets. That is, revenue which would have been available for use in the health, education and social welfare sectors including MNREGA has been foregone, even while GoI rues lack of funds for these very sectors. To be fair, this is a legacy problem, but the present government has done little different from its predecessors.
Benefit to the corporate sector through "Revenue foregone" is merely one half of the dodgy benefit to the corporate world. The other half of the dodge is providing enormous loans to the beneficiaries of "Revenue foregone" in the name of boosting the industrial sector in pursuit of the Holy Grail of economic growth. And when these loans are not serviced, the bank either declares the loan as a non-performing asset (NPA) or else proffers another loan which is used to pay back the earlier loan (this is termed "re-financing"), so that the NPA is taken off the books.
Of course, the names of corporates which avail the holiday on corporate tax and excise and customs duties may not all figure among the names of defaulting borrowers, but many really big corporates benefit by tax holidays and also borrowing money which become NPAs which are then written-off. Impeccably smart footwork by successive finance ministers in consultation with their prime ministers, to keep the corporates in good spirits, using public money! Today, PSBs are finding it difficult to lend because around 40 large corporate groups owe around Rs.10 lakh-crore rupees.
That borrowings from PSBs are used by big corporates to finance mega-projects which cause population displacement, impinge adversely on the environment, and exacerbate global warming and climate change, is another dimension which is outside the scope of the present article.
With this mode of financial operation within the oversight of MoF and RBI, PSBs have NPAs which are treated as "losses incurred" and are a significantly dangerous proportion of their balance sheets. Thus, PSBs are in a position of precarious financial stability. These same PSBs are where you and me and umpteen others have invested our life savings as deposits, which are entered as liabilities in the balance sheet of the bank.
And so we come to the matter of resolution of financial crises and insurance for the deposits made in banks by members of the public, which is the reason for the FRDI Bill, 2017.
Journalist P.Sainath says: "A large part of the trillions in NPAs ... was run up by the wealthy who can't be named due to 'secrecy laws' ". Hence in the past, to resolve the problem of financial stability, GoI has bailed out banks, re-financing them by pumping in tax payers' money. But that is not deemed sufficient in the present precarious financial condition of financial institutions, and hence the need for a bail-in option, described in FRDI Bill Section 52, to "absorb the losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred".
The FRDI Bill caused fears among depositors principally due to the implications of the bail-in option available to the Resolution Corporation. However, Government made an attempt to allay these fears. ["Fears over FRDI Bill misplaced, says Government"; January 3, 2018; The Hindu; http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/fears-over-frdi-bill-misplaced-says-government/article22354147.ece "].
MoF is reported to have made the following statements to allay fears:
1. "Most certainly, it [bail-in] will not be used in case of a public sector bank as such a contingency is not likely to arise".
2. "The implicit guarantee for solvency of public sector banks remains unaffected as the government remains committed to adequately capitalise them and improve their financial health."
3. "Cancellation of the liability of the depositor beyond insured amount will be possible only with the prior consent of the depositor".
4. "In case of injudicious and unreasonable exercise of bail-in power by the Resolution Corporation, for example, where the depositors of a bank get less value than in liquidation, such affected depositors will have the right to get compensation from the Resolution Corporation on an order of the National Company Law Tribunal".
Basically, Government assures depositors that
- Depositors' misgivings regarding the depositor protection in the context of the bail-in provisions, are entirely misplaced,
- bail-in has been proposed as merely one of the resolution tools in the event a financial firm is sought to be sustained by resolution,
- the bail-in clause will only be implemented with the consent of depositors, and
- it reiterates its implicit guarantee for the solvency of PSBs.
Let us consider these assurances together with the quoted statements of MoF. First off, the depositors concern is precisely why at all the bail-in provision should be made available – at least in the case of PSBs – when the cause for resolution is primarily NPAs, mostly due to default of the big borrowers, possibly in collusion or connivance with bank officials and MoF officials. Assuring a depositor that bail-in will not be used as such a contingency is not likely to arise, is akin to holding a gun to a depositor's head and assuring the depositor, "Don't worry, I won't shoot".
Next, MoF's assurance that the bail-in clause will only be implemented with a depositor's consent is patently illusory, because not a single depositor in all of India would be crazy enough to consent to MoF taking away deposits made with his hard-earned money representing his life savings, to settle the banks NPAs in the resolution process.
It is bad enough that the bail-out process using tax-payers' money to balance the books of banks which have huge NPAs is being used, instead of recovering dues from borrowers and punishing colluders and connivers among bank staff and MoF staff.
Stating that if the RC injudiciously or unreasonably exercises its bail-in powers, the "... affected depositors will have the right to get compensation from the Resolution Corporation on an order of the National Company Law Tribunal" involves a decision concerning judiciousness and reasonableness which is outside the depositor's control. Several questions arise at this point.
Even if the decision favours the depositor, would this apply to all the millions of depositors, how would they know the decision and demand compensation, what is the quantum and process of compensation, what is the depositor's access to the RC and NCLT, how will the inevitable corruption in the compensation process be handled, etc.
Saying: "Most certainly, it [bail-in] will not be used in case of a public sector bank as such a contingency is not likely to arise", containing the phrases "most certainly" and "not likely to arise" at the start and finish of the very esame sentence, bringing the "Don't worry, I won't shoot" message to mind. If the man with the bail-in 'gun' assures that he will not pull the trigger, what indeed is the need for the bail-in 'gun'?
The statements: "The implicit guarantee for solvency of public sector banks remains unaffected as the government remains committed to adequately capitalise them and improve their financial health " (presumably by bail-out using tax-payers' money) and also that bail-in "... will not be used in case of a public sector bank as such a contingency is not likely to arise", do not create confidence, but on the other hand cause apprehension whether these are duplicitous statements.
In the FRDI Bill, "haircut" is one of the terms used concerning bail-in. It means a percentage reduction in the amount that is payable to the creditors (depositors) as a means of adjusting for losses due to non-recovery of NPAs. It is piquant that the word "hajamat" is Hindi for "haircut", with the alternate meaning of fleecing somebody, with words or phrases carrying precisely the same double meaning in other Indian languages. The FRDI Bill does not inspire public confidence.
AIM of the FRDI BILL: To provide for # the resolution of certain categories of financial service providers in distress; # the deposit insurance to consumers of certain categories of financial services; # designation of systemically important financial institutions; and # establishment of a Resolution Corporation for protection of consumers of specified service providers and of public funds for ensuring the stability and resilience of the financial system and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.
The bail-in clause in Sec 52 of the Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance (FRDI) Bill, 2017, reads as follows:

(g) any transaction covered under section 47; and
(h) such other liabilities as may be specified by regulations made by the appropriate regulator in consultation with the Corporation and the Central Government.

Today, we take you on a tour of a house in Korea that caught our attention due to its ability to provide a cosy and efficient home for a couple in their thirties with two young children as well as a new born baby. Spread over 1300 square feet, the house comes power packed with features that include special areas for mom, dad and the babies to enjoy.
The design by architects Toto House is a perfect example of a well-planned compact home that conserves space without compromising on facilities. Join us as we explore this charming home.
The placement of the large wooden deck in the front of the house provides a nice play area for the children when the weather is good. The deck bends into a fence that offers privacy to the interiors. The design links the indoor and outdoor spaces through French windows in the kitchen area. The decking extends to a pathway at a higher level than the play area, providing an outdoor seating area just outside the kitchen.
Set on a reinforced concrete foundation, the home was built economically and in a very short timeframe. The construction area was kept to 1800 square feet to conform to the regulatory coverage ratio of 20% - the maximum limit prescribed for homes within the country house complex in which the home is located. The orange and white exteriors give it a neat and compact appearance, with stucco finish adding an interesting textural element and the timber deck adding a stylish feature.
Now you see it; now you don't!! If you are wondering how you missed the pool in the front yard, the secret lies in a retractable wooden deck cover that slides out when the pool is not in use. The dual use space can be enjoyed for fun splashing around or as a covered terrace for outdoor family activities.
The grassy area in front of the home is perfect for young children as they can run around freely without the parents having to worry about them being out of sight. It also cuts down the need for walks to the park.
Walking in through the Mediterranean blue door, the openness of the entrance hallway will strike you. In a house with kids, avoiding clutter isn't easy, but the storage in the hallway is cleverly designed at different heights, making it easy for kids to put away their toys on the shelves or to access their coats and boots while stepping out.
The open kitchen is placed in between the dining and living areas, and has a refreshing view of the deck and the green yard. The strategic layout allows the mother to watch her kids playing while she cooks in the kitchen.
The living room layout is designed for conversation and does not have the space for a wall-mounted television. Instead, an overhead projector installed on the ceiling beams movies on a pull down screen over the window – a space-saving feature for homes that don't have wall space for a television in the living room. When the screen is not in use, it rolls up to present a view of the outdoors.
Specifically designed for the skilled mother who tailors clothes for the entire family, the hobby room has ample storage shelves for fabric and clothes as well as a counter top for the sewing machine and a separate home office in the corner.
When it's too cold to play outside, the stairs in the house turn into an indoor playground complete with benches and a slide. It's a perfect design for active little ones who never tire of climbing up and down the stairs.
The home layout is customized keeping in mind the needs and the lifestyle of the family of five. The design incorporates play spaces that are an important element for growing children. Simultaneously, it creates cosy spaces for the parents to relax and unwind.
If you loved this practical home, take a look at this ideabook for another simple and efficient apartment.

Allocation to alternative lending has experienced a significant increase among institutional investors. This significant growth has been driven in part by the attractive risk/seward characteristics of alternative lending and the stability of the cash flows it generates. In this white paper we aim to systematically evaluate these characteristics and compare them with other, similar assets.
Our first challenge was to select the appropriate investment indexes. At the time of publication, the non-confidential alternative lending index information available in Continental Europe was very limited. We therefore selected the Orchard US Consumer Online Lending Index as a proxy for the asset class. This index measures the performance of consumer loans originated and funded in the United States. It includes more than one million loans with an outstanding balance of over USD 11 billion.
Our analysis covers seven years of monthly return data ranging from January 2011 until September 2017. We used the following ETFs, taking into account dividends and splits, as a proxy for the following indexes:
Although our selection of indexes has limitations, we still believe our analysis sheds light on this new asset class. As further information and more indexes become available, we plan to update our research to deepen our insights.
Alternative lending has produced solid returns at a fraction of the volatility of other asset classes and at a shorter weighted average maturity, as shown in Table 1.

This story was not what I had expected from Steve Niles. If you are not familiar with his work – they are usually violent, horrific stories. So one about freaks living in the sticks made me think I was picking up something similar to House of 1000 corpses.
Instead what I got was a sweet story about two brothers. Set in the country in a non-descript time (feels old fashioned but there are little things that make me wonder) Steve Niles has woven a tale that is more haunting than anything else he has written.
Trevor has to help take care of his brother Will, who has been chained up in the barn. Like a good older brother, Trevor watches out for Will. Late at night they sneak out to enjoy the fields and moonlight. However, one night he returns to hear his father talk about how he should have killed Will when he was born. Will manages to steal away his father's pistol.
The next day, a neighbor comes to tell how they will have to kill their daughter. Trevor's father decides it's time – the monsters must go. Trevor and Will escape but they can't leave the valley without rescuing the others like Will.
It's not an overly deep story but the journey the boys go on carried me away. I wanted to know more at the end. I would have loved answers but there were none given. But that didn't make me love the story less.
The drawings are soft and subtle. The muted colors would have normally irritated me but I found they worked well with this story. It added to the timeless feel to the story as if it had been tinted with sepia. I do think this is one I'd love to revisit time and again, hoping to find more in each panel, each subtle phrase.

Jon Gosselin's new "friend" – SHE CAN WORK A BONG TOO
Will Hailey Glassman trip ever end? It doesn't look like its going to stop anytime soon or even slow down… Although, the longer the trip lasts the better Hailey Glasspipeman likes it!
It's no secret that Goodtime Hailey, Jon's new "friend" likes her share of the chronic. But in a new video airing on tonight's Inside Edition, she shows that she knows her way around a bong, too. She has so many facits!
In another clip, she's smoking the peace pipe, like a Native American, pantless on the couch and later passed out. umm Classy!
Of course, it seems like she and Jon are ahead of the game and tried to do damage control with their family-friendly playground outing yesterday… The two froliced around in the Harlem Harriman State Park in New York. She picked a lovely flower and put it behind his ear and she swang while Jon pushed her…. Glasspipeman told Jon she wanted be as high as she could, so Jon pushed her as hard as his little Asian arms could push! But I question if swinging was what she had in mind.
