Believe it or not capacity to lie cannot surpass these scintillating eulogies, just months ago-spoken by Arab nations at the UN Human Rights council about, well….Gaddafi regime!
Syria: The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya has a unique experience in democracy that has allowed for growth and development in promotion of human rights.
"Palestinian Authority observer: We highly commend the national report. This proves the Jamahiriya's keen interest in improving and promoting human rights.
"Saudi Arabia: The interest shown by the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya…shows very clearly the important it attached to human rights."
The Human Rights Council admitted Libya as a member last May, and on November 9, its members discussed a Universal Periodic Review that is to be adopted March 18.
The Palestinian Authority and several countries, including Saudi Arabia and Syria – leaders on the American list of human rights violators – lauded the Libyan dictator for "democracy" and protection of human rights.
The Council's previous censures of countries have focused solely on Israel.
The executive director of UN Watch, Hillel Neuer, told Al Jazeera that "time and again, the United Nations has rewarded this murderous, racist regime" and turned a blind eye to its crimes.
As the United Nations' General Assembly prepared Tuesday to debate the suspension of Libya from the UN Human Rights Council after the mass murder of rebels by strongman Muammar Qaddafi, non-governmental organization UN Watch held the UN's feet to the fire in a UNHRC session and in press interviews, stressing that Libya should have never been elected to the UNHRC first.
United Nations' gaffe with Gaddafi regime – comedy of errors

Read more here, and check out your current brand:

Introducing the East Cheshire Team
As I have already said, my name is Karen and I have been serving this area since June 2016 and ensuring that the pets in the area are well fed, as well as supplying treats, leads, bowls, wild bird food, small animal food and more to the residents of this beautiful part of the UK.
To find out even more, please visit my Facebook page
Having spent most of my working life in the corporate world, which involved long hours and thousands of miles in my car, I decided that it was time to stay closer to home and do something I would really enjoy. Being an animal lover and pet owner for most of my life, Trophy pet foods seemed the perfect fit. I love the fact that the product is manufactured by us using UK sourced products where possible and there is a great food for every budget.
I have fed Trophy pet foods to all 3 of my Siberian Huskies – sadly Hugo is no longer with us but I attribute the fact that he was fit and healthy, until his legs gave up on him at nearly 17 years of age, to his diet of 100% natural, healthy & nutritious food. Troy is thriving on his Trophy premium food at 15 years young and our recent addition Olga is loving her Trophy premium puppy food.
I am joined on my travels by the new boss, Olga who loves meeting our Trophy customers but demands walks and treats in return.
I believe our food is fantastic but don't just take my word for it – here's what our customers think:-
My very fussy Cocker Spaniel would never eat his food when first placed on the floor and would take hours of encouragement to finish it. That's not the case any more, changed him to Trophy recently and he loves it, no need for encouragement and he eats all his food immediately it's put down for him.I believe our food is fantastic but don't just take my word for it – here's what our customers think:-
Thanks Karen, you've certainly sorted him out. Jan Edge, Cheshire.

When I first started designing back in 2008, I thought for days and days about what I should call my brand. I wanted something creative but not cliche, something memorable and reflective of what my designs were all about. I posted a poll on my family blog asking friends for their advice.. Some of the choices were: Digital Retreat, Sleepless Obsession, Pea Soup (?!), Digital Intervention (again, ?!), and finally Stolen Moments. My reasoning for the latter was that it was a reflection on the time we spend actually scrapbooking, as well as the moments of time captured by our photographs. It was also during the stolen moments of my life as a new mom that I was doing the designing. Obviously this last one made the cut – thankfully! – and my digital identity was born.
Flash forward six and a half years, and my "little hobby" has turned into a full time (+) job and a legitimate source of income for my family. I love it more now than I ever have and am so grateful for the amazing opportunities I've been afforded on this crazy adventure.
Over the past several years I've had the faint tinge of regret that I didn't just stick with my own name for my brand – at the time it was FAR too boring – but I was too afraid of all the work that would go into re-branding. Well, somehow I got the courage to face all that work head-on and I am so pleased to announce that Stolen Moments is now, simply, Amber LaBau Designs.
I'm celebrating with a 30% off sale at The Lilypad (look for my name near the TOP of the designer list) now thru Jan. 5. My incredibly supportive husband and I have spent countless hours (my bedtime has ranged from 2:30a-5:30a) these past couple of weeks re-previewing and uploading and updating my entire catalog and I'm so pleased with how bright, shiny and clean it looks.. Go take a peek, grab a little something for yourself, then mark your calendars for a chat on Jan. 6 to celebrate with me.
Until next time…

As you may know, Sweetie Bot has a knack for getting all the news in the brony community first. Besides all the big stuff you may have already seen posted on other news sites by now (which he tweeted about before most of them made their posts), today he found...
[page break added 9_6]
- The above art
- A flash animation (that the recent youtube vid on LPT is from).
- And the below Youtube vid
- A Dubstep PMVabout Fluttershy (Sleepyshy-approved)
- And this humorous response to that recent, somewhat awkward brony rave. *Pulls out popcorn*
Anyways, if you want to see the news before the news sites get it, it's best to just take a look at his Twitter.

Portland based producer Karl Kling has been a pivotal piece in the remix artist collective, aka RAC. Just recently he decided to take some time to focus on his solo work more and we are glad he has. His latest single "Careful" is a glistening synth heavy electro pop song reminiscent of early Postal Service and PlayRadioPlay brooding with the indie pop prowess of OK GO. Synths bounce and reverberate like children on a summer's day emphatically pouncing away on a trampoline. Karl's vocals resonate over the bubbly and euphoric track that is a nice welcome drop of sunshine during the bleaker months of Winter. If this is an indicator for what's to come in the future then we don't mind the side step from RAC. Careful is the first single off Karl's forthcoming full-length LP out March 3rd via Ghost Beach's Crazy Heart Records. You can preorder the self-titled LP here.

summ., Research financed with the funds of the National Science Centre: Company's market value and financial performance versus CEO succession, agreement No. 2014/15/B/HS4/04355
- Abstract
- Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine shareholders' reaction to the decision of the supervisory board to appoint a CEO in companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Methodology: An event study and the mean-adjusted model were applied. The abnormal returns were measured as the CAAR in the entire (-60, + 60) window and selected sub-windows.
Findings: The obtained values of abnormal returns indicate the shareholder's negative reaction. Throughout the observation window, they oscillate slightly below zero, and in the window (0, +20) they are negative at -1.566%. Irrespective of the observation window, negative abnormal returns were obtained for over half of the observation (52-57%). Therefore, preliminary results indicate the predominance of the information effect over the real one. The decrease in market value as a result of the event may result from an increase in investors' uncertainty as to the effects of changes in strategy and skills of the new CEO.
Originality: The research is a unique one. To date, no one has carried out research into shareholders' reaction to a CEO appointment in either the Polish or Central and Eastern European capital markets. They primarily bring the value of cognition of shareholders' behaviour in the analysed event, which is reflected in share prices. They extend the literature on the signalization instruments, i.e. the activities that boards can undertake due to the new information transmitted to the capital market participants and stakeholders. The market reaction to a CEO appointment will without a doubt interest investors; the institutions responsible for supervision (which in the case of Poland is the Financial Oversight Commission) and the legislator in charge of regulations that prevent insider trading while promoting corporate disclosure transparency.

The Department of Medical Cell Biology at Uppsala University has a strong and international research environment with over 100 scientists, including around 25 PhD students, 20 postdocs and 30 researchers and professors.
Duties/Project description:
Bioprinting of cells in defined extracellular matrices represents a novel approach to create well-defined 3D tissue models. In the future, 3D bioprinted tissue models will likely replace many existing 2D cell culture models currently used in academia and industry, and 3D bioprinted tissues will also likely be used for transplantation.
The successful candidate will in this project be part of an international research team developing bioprinting of highly reproducible 3D tissue models, with a focus on tumor models from clinically relevant cancer cell lines or primary cancer cells, and tumor-associated cells, in physiological matrices. The bioprinted 3D tumor models will be evaluated for use in breast cancer research at Uppsala University and scaled to allow for high-throughput in vitro screening of new experimental cancer treatments. The project will also involve bioprinting of functional miniature islets of Langerhans, composed of human insulin-producing beta cells as well as glucagon-producing alpha cells, of great relevance to diabetes research. The bioprinted tissue models will be studied by advanced, high-resolution live imaging and characterized with regard to gene and protein expression.
Associate Prof. Johan Kreuger will be the main supervisor. The project will be carried out within AddLife, which is a VINNOVA Competence Centre that gathers more than 20 partners in academia, industry and the public sector to support competence development in additive manufacturing for the life sciences. The centre is funded by academia, industry and VINNOVA in equal parts, with a total budget of approx. 100 MSEK and will run for 5 years in a first instance, between 2020-2024, and engage experts within academia and industry with a passion for 3D-printing with the ultimate goal of developing new technologies to improve people's lives.
The successful candidate will engage in research work and doctoral studies. Other duties at the department, i.e. administration and teaching, may be included in the employment up to a maximum level of 20 %.

Some wally locked their bike to mine at work this evening so I had to take the bus home. Grrr.. It also means that I'm going to have to take the bus to work. That's £3.60 I'm having to spend unnecessarily and it'll take me nearly an hour to get to work (as it did to get home tonight). What a pain.

Personally, I would have locked my bike to his before taking the bus.

« Spring forward (but with CAUTION) | Main | The Blanket of Awesomeness Dubutante Ball »
March 14, 2007
Grandma Purl and the Blanket of Awesomeness
On Saturday I drove approximately five billion miles and in that mileage I made a pit stop at Ellen Bloom's house, where I picked up a large white box from Kristy, addressed to my grandma via me via Ellen. Everyone by now has learned that I am not especially particularly fabulously on top of my mail situation, and even Stella at the mailbox place just sighs, and calls me when something looks urgent or about to spoil.
This is because somewhere along the past year I managed to get stuck on Drew Emborsky Standard Time (DEST), which is to say that if today were last Wednesday, I'd be in great shape! I am only one week behind in my life. Or two. It relieves the stress a little, actually, knowing that no matter how much I want to puddle up and cry and eat my hair, I am not really that far behind... I am merely on DEST, so I am perfectly capable of meeting all my deadlines and obligations if only Superman would come back and do that thing where he flies the world backwards one week. In those tights. Mmmmmmmm.
But, that was not the point of this column! The point is that my Jeep and I made a left turn where we should have turned right, then we figured it out, then I got to Ellen's house (which is SO AWESOME that I tried to move in, twice) and I picked up a large, mysterious and quite heavy package.
"I wonder what it could be...?" I said in a deep, dark, mysterious voice. As deep and dark as a chirpy, twangy female can get anyway.
"Oh you silly girl," said Ellen. "It's your grandma's blanket!"
(I'm not sure if we actually had this conversation or if I dreamed it, but I felt we needed some dialogue here.)
So my Jeep and I drove the Box Of Mystery down to Orange County where my parents were waiting, along with my Aunt Pam and cousins and Grandma and ... my parents! here! in California!
And also, I had no rear-view mirror on my Jeep but I will tell you more about that at a later date, although it was funny that I at one point held my rear-view mirror out the driver's side window for, you know, driving safety purposes.
It was so nice to visit and see my family. I have missed them so much! And everyone wonders why I am the way I am until they meet my family and it suddenly all makes sense, like how my mom had a headache when they were driving from Palm Springs to Orange County on Saturday morning and it was a really bad headache so my dad wanted to get her to the doctor but also thought it would be funny if it just so happened that medical professional he took her to happened to be at... The Betty Ford Clinic. So he drove her to the Betty, and there they asked her such questions as, "Do you have any tattoos or piercings?" and also, "Do you have any metal in your body?" and while my mom was in the ladies' room, my father picked up the clipboard and began filling it out.
"One of the questions was, 'Do you drink alcohol?'" said my dad. "And the answers were: never, sometimes, daily, heavily..."
He paused for a moment.
"I will not reveal what answer I circled, but they did try to admit her after that," he said, with the straightest poker face you have ever seen.
"I went in with a HEADACHE," said my mom. "I walked out with Percoset and Valium. FOR A HEADACHE."
"Well," said my dad, "the good news is your headache is gone. Of course, you're going to be addicted to painkillers now and probably need to be admitted to the Betty Ford Clinic..."
And we all laughed so hard we cried. Ya'll see where I get it.
Then after I found out my parents had spent the morning at the Betty Ford Clinic, we got down to the business of opening the Big Mysterious Box.
"Grandma," I said. "The internet made you something!"
That is my handsome Dad in those pictures with my amazing Grandma... and look, Grandma is standing with the help of her walker!! The blanket spreads out to fully queen-size and is UNBELIEVEABLY GORGEOUS. We made quite an event about opening the box and everyone was STUNNED. I cannot tell you how much this meant to me and my whole family, and I cried, I think we all cried, it was the loveliest and happiest and most beautiful gift.
Sometimes the world seems so cold and distant and people are always in a hurry, and we're in a hurry, and it's easy to forget that this world is full of kind and good and loving people who would take time out of their lives to bring so much joy and love to someone ... someone they never even met! In that moment I think all of us, all eight of us, were just reminded to have faith in people, to hold on always to the knowledge that this much kindness exists. And to hold on tight to Grandma, who was a little on the overwhelmed side!! We had not even been drinking, ya'll, but there were happy tears all around.
Thank you, each and every one of you who took the time to do this, time to write a little postcard, a note to my Grandma, time to knit or crochet a square -- and there were so many squares! Enough for three or four more blankets! Mr. Hakim and Raydine and Bill... all the Parkview gang will be rolling in high style in hand-made blankets, thanks to you and your kindness and generosity.
Grandma was shocked when she saw the scrapbook, it was a complete surprise to her. I had told her about the blanket but not the scrapbook, and she turned page after page and read messages of love and prayers from all over the world. My grandmother, who is NEVER at a loss for words (ahem) (apple not falling far from tree, again) was utterly speechless.
The next morning it was early and just the two of us were awake and about, me and Grandma. I was drinking orange juice and she was looking at the scrapbook again, page after page.
She said to me, "I know I am able to be here today and turn these pages myself because I had the prayers of these wonderful people helping me," and ... well, ya'll know. I went into the ugly cry!! She laughed at me and called me an old softie, then she cried too. The good kind of tears.
Thank you to Kristy, who came up with this idea and stuck with it. Kristy had had a very tough six months with her own family and a personal loss, and yet she kept my family in her thoughts and priorities and I have no idea how to thank you, Kristy, except to say your amazing idea and all the folks who helped make it come to life brought so much happiness to my whole family that we'll have it with us always.
Thank you. Thank you to everyone.
That's joy. Pure and simple.

A few of the people I met around the festival today…
Is this you in the festival registration queue? It's great to be greeted by a friendly person and the festival staff do a fantastic job of making everyone's first point of call a pleasant one.
Phil Peel was a lecturer at Bournemouth for a long time but now writes a lot and has just finished a film for 50 Kisses.
Mac McSharry and Adam Graveley I met when I overheard half a sentence and thought Mac had adapted a Hong Kong Phoey script. As it turns out he hasn't but as they're making just such a film we decided maybe he should and that Adam could adapt Wacky Races to go with it! It's hillarious how you get talking to people sometimes at the festival!
Gail Hackston is a screenwriter and digital manager and also the festival's head of marketing and PR. She's been having quite a busy time of it.
Allison Parker is a writer, filmmaker and script reader and this year came all the way from Australia to attend the festival. Now that's dedication!
There's always a couple of more personal moments that don't really belong on the blog but that it's nice to put somewhere and treasure. I'm an author on Cowbird.com a (free to join) website that acts as a site for telling personal stories, sort of like a library of human experience. As well as the festival faces I'm linking a couple of my Cowbird stories each day to show you the site and the moments and to invite you to try Cowbird out for yourself. Today's Cowbird stories are Festival Morning and Accord which show a little of the colour and meaning I found from my day.

text: This was my last family session of 2010, so needless to say it was a bittersweet event. This family was a lot of fun to work with. Mom is the cousin of a good friend of mine from high school, I remember these two kids when they were just little, like toddler little, now they are all grown up and almost in high school, which makes me feel ... old. They were very easy to work with too, it's amazing what you can get a couple tweens to do when bribed with Mt. Dew and Slim Jims :-) Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

Comparing the SCD Diet to the GFCF Diet
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet was formulated in the '50s by Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas. It is also known as the SCD Diet, and it is the direct precursor to Dr. Elaine Gottschall's GAPS Diet. While it is not entirely gluten-free and casein-free, it does have similar objectives to the GFCF Diet and other autism diets: To help free those with gluten and casein intolerance from the gastrointestinal and behavioral issues that sometimes come along with disorders in the autism spectrum.
How does the Specific Carbohydrate Diet Work?
The initial diet is called the "Intro Diet," and it is practically identical in most ways to the GAPS Introduction Diet. There are a few exceptions. SCD allows a few things that GAPS does not such as peanuts, navy beans, white beans, and cottage cheese. The allowed foods in this diet more closely resemble the same foods that the GFCF Diet permits.
However, the SCD Diet closely follows the same stages as the GAPS diet from the Introduction part, which consists of several stages, and then the full-on diet stage. Just as with GAPS, the SCD Diet takes a while to implement. Each stage takes weeks or months to get through, and there are quite a few exceptions to rules. For instance, one rule is to avoid dairy, but cheeses made from cow's milk or goat's milk that undergo at least 30 days of natural aging are permitted.
The foods and beverages that are disallowed are:
- Alcoholic beverages like brandy and sherry
- Canned fruits and vegetables
- Curry, onion and garlic powders
- Freshly brewed coffee
- Grains such as rice, barley and wheat
- Instant coffee
- Juices made for commercial sale
- Milk and milk-based drinks and creamers
- Processed meats like ham, bacon, hot dogs, sausages, salami and other sandwich meats
- Starchy foods such as potatoes, corn starch, parsnips and yams
- Sugar sweetened beverages
Unlike most diets of this type, this one actually allows the consumption of dry wines, vodka, and whiskeys like rye, scotch and bourbon.
So How Does it Compare to GFCF?
As a diet that is seen as an alternate autism diet, it is a mostly gluten-free and casein-free diet, with the exception of the very limited dairy allowance, and it certainly seems to help in similar ways to the GFCF Diet. However, the Specific Carbohydrate diet is just as complicated to follow and as difficult to implement as GAPS.
If there is any criticism of GFCF compared to SCD, it is that GFCF is slightly more lax with the inclusion of occasional sugary treats. Nonetheless, GFCF is, out of all the autism diets, the easiest to follow and the strictest in terms of gluten-free and casein-free foods.
For additional information, please visit:
I was talking with my son, Nick, about how I was going to write this blog about my recipes. He's a second-grader and has Aspergers. We've been on the GFCF diet since November 2011, so it is still fairly new to all of us. I will admit that some of my attempts at cooking GFCF have been great, while others have been pretty awful!
I asked Nick how we should let the readers know whether he approved of the recipes on the blog, so that other moms (and children) might be interested in trying the recipes. He suggested we do a "thumbs up" rating system. So, now, when I make a new recipe, I ask Nick to tell me, "How many thumbs up would you give this one?" He responds according to the following scale –
Thumbs down – terrible, please don't ever make this again!
One Thumb up – not bad, but not too great; you can make it again
Two Thumbs up – really good; please make this a lot!
Four Thumbs up – ("Wait, Mom, I don't have that many thumbs!") this is the best thing you've ever made; please keep making it all the time!
So, as you are checking out the recipes, please look for the "thumbs up" ratings from Nick right next to the recipe titles. And, please, be sure to tell us in the comments how many thumbs your family members give the recipes too!
Welcome to my blog about how "eating differently can still be delicious". The Gluten-Free, Casein-Free diet (also known as the GFCF Diet or the Autism Diet), is not new but is gaining in popularity. Many parents of children on the Autism Spectrum have seen dramatic changes in their children after switching to this diet. As the mother of a son with Aspergers, I can speak from experience on this topic. To read more about my story and background, please check out the About Me page.
This blog contains GFCF recipes, tips on how to follow the Gluten-Free, Casein-Free diet, as well as product and restaurant recommendations. I encourage you to check out the FAQ section if you have questions about this diet or any of these terms. Please also feel free to Contact Me with specific questions as well.

New Jersey's Mysterious Blue Hole
One of the most storied sites in all of southern New Jersey is a mysterious body of water known as the Blue Hole. Located deep in the Pine Barrens of Winslow on the border of Camden and Gloucester counties, this small but legendary pool is said be not only bottomless, but also a frequent pit stop of the Jersey Devil, hence it's other name: "The Devil's Bathtub."
Though its icy blue-tinged water might seem inviting, especially on a hot summer day, locals warn their children to stay away from the Blue Hole and never swim there. Tales of unexplained whirlpools that suck down hapless swimmers have long been part of the Hole's lore. Some who have been lucky enough to escape its clutches have claimed they actually felt something, perhaps the Jersey Devil himself, pulling them down into the chilly depths.
The bottom of the Blue Hole, if indeed there is a bottom, is said to be made of a fine sand, sometimes referred to as "sugar sand," which locals liken to quicksand. When we visited the notorious Hole, we found ourselves navigating through narrow Pineland trails made up of this same treacherous sand. Sure that at any moment our Jeep would get hopelessly bogged down, we decided to ditch the vehicle and continue our quest on foot.
It was a beautiful autumn day as we wandered the wooded paths of the Winslow Wildlife Management Area. The underbrush was awash with bright cranberry-red and golden colored leaves, and the sounds of chirping birds filled the sweet-smelling air. But as we approached the Blue Hole, the atmosphere seemed to change. Birds were heard no more and in their stead was an eerie silence. The quiet was soon shattered however, by the echoes of shotgun blasts from a nearby firing range that rang through the tranquil forest.
The surface of the Blue Hole was as still as glass and a thermometer that we'd brought to measure its temperature read a chilly 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the water was crystal clear, we could see no signs of life whatsoever in the Hole: no fish, no insects – nothing. There was something unsettling about this void and suddenly it seemed easy to imagine why people might warn their children not to venture into these waters.
Although it might have a bad reputation now, this was not always the case with the Blue Hole. In the 1930s, the site was a popular picnic spot and swimming hole with the locals. In the 1940s though, a storm washed out a wooden bridge over the nearby Egg Harbor River, cutting off the main access route to the Blue Hole. Ever since, it has remained isolated in a dense forest of scrub pines, accessible only by foot or off-road vehicle. The Blue Hole is approximately 130 feet across, almost perfectly round and the banks are steep. Its waters remain curiously cold, even in the hottest summer months, averaging about 58 degrees. Unlike most bodies of water in the Pine Barrens, which bear a brownish coloration similar to tea because of the high content of iron, tannic acid and suspended sediment, the water of the Blue Hole is perfectly clear.
There are several theories as to how the Blue Hole came to be. Some say it is the result of a meteorite striking the Earth. Others claim it is what geologists call a pingo, a small body of water resulting from an ice mass that forms beneath permanently frozen soil during an ice age. The ice mass expands for thousands of years, then breaks through the permafrost to create a depression rimmed by a hill. As the climate warms, the ice melts, forming a pool.
But what about the fabled whirlpools – called "whirlypools" by locals – which are said to drag down unsuspecting swimmers to watery graves? How could such a current exist in such a seemingly placid body of water? One explanation might be that the Blue Hole is fed by ground water, not the nearby stream, which accounts for the fact the water does not contain the same murky color as the river and might also account for mysterious surges of current. But scientific rationale does little to lessen the mysteries of this curious body of water, which seem to run as deep as the Blue Hole itself.

New England Rugby Union: Peter Haynes receives Distinguished Long Service Award
New England Rugby Union referee Peter Haynes has been recognised for his contribution to the sport.
Haynes received a Distinguished Long Service Award at the Sport NSW's Community Sports Awards.
The Awards recognise outstanding achievements and contributions to community sport in NSW which is largely carried out by a volunteer workforce.
Haynes was one of 20 recipients from a wide variety of sports to receive their award from NSW Minister for Sport John Sidoti.
Haynes was honoured for his decades of dedicated and unselfish service to rugby union as a player and referee.
Haynes commenced his adult rugby career in 1987 playing through the grades with Sydney University.
In the 1990s, he played with, captained and coached Molong in the Central West, and also represented Central West for several years.
Haynes commenced his refereeing career in Dubbo in the late 1990s and began in the New England competition in the early 2000s.
In the early 2000s, Haynes commenced refereeing in the New England competition and quickly rose to be the zone's number one referee, officiating every zone first grade grand final through to 2014.
He refereed at the highest level as an exchange referee, and at country representative level. He consistently attended local grounds early where he would run touch for the lower grades, or referee an earlier game when there was a referee shortage, before refereeing first grade later.
Haynes has been an active committee member with New England Rugby Referees since 2005 and has served as President since 2009.
His exceptional communication skills, knowledge and experience of the game and his passion for developing young players and referees, see him as a prominent leader in rugby in northern NSW.
Sport NSW chairwoman, Carolyn Campbell said Haynes was a worthy award recipient.
"Sport in NSW relies on people such as Peter who have voluntarily dedicated their time over many decades. Put simply, sport would not exist without them," Campbell said.
"It is fitting these Distinguished Long Service Award recipients are recognised and honoured. It is because of their efforts that NSW remains the premier sports state in Australia."
"Without these hard-working, selfless volunteers, tens of thousands of boys and girls, men and women, would not be able to enjoy the health, social and community benefits sport provides.
"Sport remains at the heart of communities across NSW and has the unique ability to bring people from different cultures and backgrounds together."
The Awards presentation evening also celebrated volunteers across nine categories for their outstanding achievements and excellence to over the past year. The categories were Community Official of the Year, Young Official of the Year, Community Coach of the Year, Young Coach of the Year, Community Sports Administrator of the Year, Volunteer Director of the Year, Community Team of the Year, Community Club of the Year and Community Event of the Year.

The talking heads are generally an uninspiring lot. Dark suited and desperate to regurgitate their practiced sound bites. The constant yapping often serves as background noise while I do other things.
But today my eye catches something neon. It's a bicycle. On a lapel. Next to a bow tie. On a handsome, well spoken silver haired daddy.
Meet Earl Blumenauer. A Congressman from Portland, Oregon. Known for his support of mass transit and bicycling. In Washington he bikes to work.
On his Wikipedia page my favorite bit says: Beginning in 2017, he has skipped every State of the Union address by President Trump, stating "I refuse to be a witness to his continued antics."
A quick search tells me he's been sporting this quirky look since the 90s. He made a splash in the UK.
All the right moves. And damn, this man is fine.

Mum shares incredible story of twin daughter "sacrificing herself in the womb" to help save her sister's life
- Publish Date
- Friday, 8 February 2019, 2:07PM
Stillbirths are a deeply traumatic experience no parent wants to go through.
But one mother believes if her twin daughter hadn't "sacrificed herself in the womb" her premature sister wouldn't be alive today.
Ashley Simons and her husband Mitchel longed to be parents.
After spending five years and £6,000 on IVF, the couple finally fell pregnant with twins.
But, in a cruel twist of fate, the couple's joy turned to agony when Ashley went into labour while 24 weeks pregnant with Esme and Isla.
The mum said: "Doctors tried to stop the labour but because I was fully dilated, there was nothing they could do."
"I was told the chances of the babies' survival was very low."
Doctors desperately tried to administer lifesaving steroids and magnesium sulphate to help increase the twins' chances of surviving.
However, Esme became stuck in the birthing canal - something Ashley believes Esme did so her sister, Isla, had time to receive the drugs she desperately needed.
• Aussie mum left shocked after her son shares eerie memory of being 'in her tummy'
• Doctor's heartless message to woman after losing 22 babies
The 33-year-old said: "I was told Esme had a heart beat right up until the minute she was born."
"I knew straight away there was no sign of life. But because Esme had planted herself in the birth canal she had given Isla the time she needed to be able to get the medication that doctors were giving me.
"Esme saved her and is her guardian angel," continued.
Sadly, Esme died after doctors attempted resuscitation for five minutes, without showing signs of life.
"We held Esme and treated her like a normal baby, we took photos with her, and took hand and footprints," Ashley added.
"We were even able to change her nappy and dress her thanks to a cuddle cot which is a cold bed for babies who have died."
"Esme saved Isla's life, without question."
Thankfully, after 138 days in hosptial, Isla survived and celebrated her first birthday on January 20.

Word + Quiz: persona non grata
persona non grata pər-ˈsō-nə-ˌnän-ˈgra-tə , -ˈgrä- noun
1. an individual who for some cause isn't wished or welcome
2. a diplomat who's unacceptable to the federal government the place assigned
The time period persona non grata has appeared in 30 articles on NYTimes.com prior to now yr, together with on Sept. 26 in "Nike Nearly Dropped Colin Kaepernick Before Embracing Him" by Julie Creswell, Kevin Draper and Sapna Maheshwari:
Kaepernick ignited a nationwide discourse in 2016 when he started kneeling in the course of the enjoying of the nationwide anthem earlier than video games to protest racism, social inequality and police brutality. He left the 49ers after the 2016 season and have become a free agent, however executives all through the N.F.L. thought of him radioactive due to his on-field protests, which drew vocal criticism from President Trump, and no workforce signed him.
That left Nike's sports activities advertising and marketing group flummoxed. There gave the impression to be little they may do with a lightning-rod skilled soccer participant who was not enjoying soccer.
… So when Wieden & Kennedy, Nike's advert company for greater than three many years, urged the corporate earlier this yr to make the N.F.L.'s final persona non grata the face of its "Just Do It" 30th anniversary marketing campaign, Nike needed to weigh the potential repercussions.

Compass Presents
"BES are the most professional, friendly and reliable equipment provider Compass Presents has had the pleasure of working with. Coming from the non-technical side of event production, BES really took the time to listen to our requirements and help us choose kit within the perimeters of our budget while still gaining maximum effect for our show. BES went above and beyond the call of duty, offering expert advise as well as providing brilliant kit. Finally, the whole BES team were always so friendly, enthusiastic and smiley- which goes such a long way when dropping off kit after hard days of putting on an event!"
Charlie Harman, Producer
"After hearing loads of good things about BES around Bristol we got in touch for our event at The Island at the beginning of May. We had a very specific vibe that we were going for with the lighting to set the tone for our art installation that hung behind the DJ. The team were super helpful and were great at giving advice on which lights would be perfect for the ambient pulsing kind of thing we wanted. Bex even programmed the desk for us to create a sequence for the evening. We couldn't fault the BES team from start to finish and will definitely be using their expertise again for future events. Great knowledge, friendly crew and reasonable prices, can't go wrong!"
Ben Jackson / Musu
Team Love / Love Saves The Day Festival
"We've worked with BES systems for over 5 years and countless events and they have never once let us down. Their service is exemplary in terms of professionalism and quality, in addition to complete calmness and resourcefulness when we add a whole load more equipment they need to supply to us at the 11th hour – they somehow always seem to come through."
Tom Paine, Director
Tobacco Factory Café / Bar and Grain Barge
"Tobacco Factory Enterprises have been hiring DJ equipment from BES for many many years now along with staging, PA and lights for our live music and circus events across multiple venues. The equipment has always been in pristine condition and they are able to supply any specification, any brand and any quantity at sometimes very short notice with delivery also being quick. Their customer service is really important to them so we're going to keep on with them."
Kit McKenzie, Music & Promotion
Kambe Events / Shambala Festival
"Shambala Festival has been employing the services of BES for many years now. They provide a huge amount of lights, PA equipment, turntables and mixers throughout the site. They always go above and beyond the call of duty, are incredibly helpful and their prices are always very keen. I have recommended them to many other events who have also been very happy with the service that they have received and I will continue to recommend them. They have grown dramatically over the years, but they have never lost their attention to detail and professionalism. They are a delight to work with and their advice is always bang on the money."
Dan Rafferty, Shambala festival organiser
Alfresco Disco

"The team at BES Systems are professional, easy to work with and always reliable. They offer a quality service, providing high-end equipment and a skilled crew."
Sol Curry, Managing Director
ACP Productions
"There has been a lack of a really decent backline supplier in the south west for years meaning we have had to pay extortionate transport costs to get kit in from London. I was advised to try BES Systems by a colleague and we have not been disappointed. Their customer service is fantastic, nothing is to much trouble and the kit they supply is industry standard, good quality and very well looked after. I would happily recommend them to any colleague and will continue to use them whenever we're working in the southwest."
Rosie O'Rourke
"BES are great to work with, always accommodating our needs, no matter how last minute and the sound quality they deliver is second to none in Bristol."

"An excellent and professional 5* service and equipment. Not only was Tom very knowledgeable with all our needs, but also accommodating to last minute requests. Highly recommended."
Southmead Hospital Charity
"A huge thank you to you and your team for everything you did on Saturday – the event was a great success raising over £17,000 on the night and we are expecting more to follow.
You were so helpful in sorting out my complete lack of knowledge in this area and the team on the night where incredibly professional.
Very many thanks once again – I would not hesitate to recommend you to colleagues"
Elizabeth Bond, Trust and Major Donor Manager
Severnside Sub Aqua Club
"This is the third year that I have organised the bands, music, lights and stage for the Severnside Sub Aqua Club Yard Party at Bristol Harbour Festival.
Our 2015 event has been the largest and most successful event yet, due in no small part to us selecting BES Systems as one of our event partners for the first time.
Tom and the B-E-S Team assisted us greatly with their expertise and I value the professional guidance and the reliability of the service B-E-S provided. Managing bands and schedules at events is very stressful enough, so having a partner you can rely on to deliver what you need to support the event is absolutely invaluable.
B-E-S Systems helped us produce a quality event that was second to none throughout the Harbour festival, and I look forward to working with them again next time we stage the event."
Jason Grey, Event Music Coordinator
The Downs School
"Just wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of the School for the great job you did for us on Friday. Your guys were excellent and we are very grateful for the way you stepped in at short notice with no fuss. Thank you very much."

Fantasy Impact: Ducks, Knights, Flames, Habs Add "Dark Horse" Depth
The Vegas Golden Knights have signed a skilled prospect who had intriguing upside back in the day, but have since faded. Daniel Carr, 26, signs for one year at $750,000. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks signed a prospect in a similar situation in Anton Rodin, 27. He signed what is believed to be a one-year contract that is one-way, likely similar in dollar value to Carr's. Montreal signed Kenny Agostino, and Calgary signed Austin Czarnik.
The Knight get: a winger who can score and has a bit of NHL experience, but is mostly notable for what he has done at other levels. Carr was a star player for Union College, and then had a solid AHL career as a first-liner. In the NHL, Carr put up points for the Habs early on during several recalls, but then tended to fade back to reality after 10 or 15 games. In all, he had 14 goals and 34 points in 94 career NHL games.
The Ducks get: Rodin was a star in Sweden and a former MVP of the SHL. His one shot in North America was marred by a knee injury that took out of action for the better part of a season-and-a-half. He is earmarked for the AHL playing for San Diego but offers an intriguing option for the Ducks if they lose a scoring-line winger to injury. Worth tucking away as a waiver option if that happens.
The Canadiens get: a high-scoring AHL winger. Carr's former team, Montreal, also added a similar intriguing option in Kenny Agostino, 26, has posted 196 points in his last 194 AHL games. In the NHL he has six points in 22 games with three different teams. However, the Habs are shallow up front and Agostino actually has a shot making the team, albeit a long one. But Carr, a similar player in the same situation, didn't make it happen. That being said, Agostino is another name to watch when scouring the waiver wire later in the season. Check out our prospect profile on Agostino here.
The Flames get: a minor leaguer in a similar situation as those noted above. Austin Czarnik, however, is probably the prospect with the best shot at making his mark. At the age of 25 he's the youngest of the four players listed here. He was buried in a deep Boston organization and was the odd man out due to his size (5-9, 161). But he had 155 points in 157 AHL games to go with 17 points in 59 NHL games. He's your best dark horse right here as he has a real shot of actually sneaking into Calgary's top nine right off the bat. Our prospect profile on Czarnik can be found here.
Fantasy Players impacted: This isn't going to rock the boat for anyone on Vegas' current roster. Carr may play 30 or 35 games and he'll certainly get a chance to steal a job – but it's a long shot. In Anaheim – Rodin should get a couple of call-ups and may see as many as 10 or 15 games. How he does in those games will determine his future in both real and fantasy hockey. Thus the term "dark horse". Their presence covers the Knights and the Ducks off in case of injury (in Anaheim's case – the likely event that Patrick Eaves misses next season), and it also pushes prospects such as Sam Steel and Troy Terry (even though they are natural centers) to earn spots.
This also won't rock the boat in Montreal. Agostino is a depth guy and an AHL option. But if Carr can play over 30 games on this roster and actually thrive for the first 10 or 15 – then so could Agostino.
As I already stated, the key dark horse here is Czarnik. He's another small, skilled guy in his mid-20s who just needs a chance. This could be your Jonathan Marchessault signing (that Florida had two summers ago) for 2018.
Fantasy Players this helps, in order:
1. Austin Czarnik
2. Daniel Carr
4. Anton Rodin
Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:
Doesn't hurt anybody.

THE Supreme Court has ordered Teba Medical Centre Limited to pay a Lusaka couple K50,000 as damages for causing the death of their baby due to negligence. In this case, Dr Sultanova Zumrad appealed against the Lusaka High Court's decision that had ordered him and Teba Hospital to pay Kasamba Kalinda and her husband Roy Kalinda, K50,000 after they were found liable of causing the death of the baby in March 2017.
The Kalindas sued Teba Hospital together with Dr Zumrad who was a visiting consultant obstetrics gynaecologist at the hospital and the High Court found both vicariously liable and ordered them to pay the couple K50,000. But in the appeal, Dr Zumrad advanced three grounds in which he argued that the trial judge erred and misdirected himself both in fact and law by ignoring the fact that he was an employee of Teba Hospital, who committed the offence, if any, in the course of her official duties of which the hospital was liable.
The appellant also contended that the High Court judge misdirected itself by holding that she was negligent when the evidence from the couple and the hospital witnesses clearly demonstrated that she was not negligent. Dr Zumrad had also submitted that the court misdirected itself by entering judgment against her without evidence warranting entry of judgment against her.
She further argued that the judge was wrong to find her personally liable for the death of the baby, saying Teba Hospital was a limited company with a separate legal personality while she was a part-time employee of the hospital.
"In the circumstances, Teba Hospital is vicariously liable for acts or omissions done by her in the course of her employment, " argued Dr Zumrad.
And in its judgment, Chief Justice Ireen Mambilima sitting with Supreme Court justices Albert Wood and Roydah Kaoma allowed Dr Zumrad's appeal, finding that Teba Hospital was vicariously liable for the actions of the nurse, which led to the death of the baby.
"We order that it (Teba Hospital) pays the entire damages of K50,000 as ordered by the lower court together with interest also as ordered. Costs shall be for the appellant, as against Teba Hospital, to be taxed in default of agreement," said the Supreme Court.
According to evidence on record, Kasamba, who was an antenatal patient, reported to Teba Hospital on March 23, 2017 when she was in her 37th week of pregnancy.
The court heard that Kasamba had a complaint of abdominal pains.
When the nurse who was on duty examined her, she found that she was not in active labour and advised her to go back home but because she mentioned that she had a history of short term labour, the nurse referred her to Dr Zumrad who admitted her overnight for observation and rest. Before leaving the hospital, the doctor gave instructions to the nurse who was on duty that she should be called if anything such as bleeding, contractions or drainage arose and indicated to Kasamba that she might need to conduct a caesarian section to deliver the baby who was estimated to weight 4.9 kilogrammes.
It was heard that Kasamba went into active labour and the doctor who had instructions that the doctor should be called knocked off and the one who was on duty at the time did not call. By midnight, Kasamba had fully dilated and was moved onto the delivery bed where she was encouraged to push by the nurse and at 01:00 hours the baby presented its head but it stopped moving as it was stuck by the shoulders.
When the doctor was called, she arrived at about 01:40 and managed to deliver the baby but it was dead.
The couple sued the doctor and the hospital.

An executive network dedicated to extending the FEI experience
The upcoming calendar is currently empty.
Click here to view past events and photos »
As we enter the next decade, our government leaders face new challenges and opportunities. These 2020 Federal Executives must be prepared to adapt to changes in demographics and technology. They must competently address the increasingly diverse population we serve, as well as effectively manage the multi-generational workforce we lead. Successful future leaders are those who can capitalize on these differences to integrate different ideas and approaches in order to innovate and inspire excellence. In addition, Federal Executives should also be equipped to take advantage of new and emergent technology and knowledge in order to support and motivate people to achieve common goals. Most importantly, executive federal leaders must be able to uphold high ethical and moral standards under all circumstances.
Our 2019 Executive Forum focuses on the knowledge and skills you need to become that leader of this new era, empowered to turn challenges into opportunities for a stronger, more resilient democratic society.

Opening Speaker: Nick Morgan
Nick Morgan creates a new set of rules and practical tips for how to connect with people--your team, your audience, your organization--when you can't be physically present. He argues that virtual communication breeds misunderstanding because it deprives us of the emotional knowledge that helps us understand context. In this powerful, practical book, communication expert Nick outlines five big problems with communication in the virtual world--lack of feedback, lack of empathy, lack of control, lack of emotion, and lack of connection and commitment--sharply highlighting what is lost in our accelerating shift to a more virtual world. He provides a clear path forward for helping us connect better with others.

Political Pardons, Prominent Prisoners, and the Power of Strategic Forgiveness
Antoinette's talk is based on a course she's teaching at FEI titled Strategic Forgiveness. It is a timely topic in today's challenging climate and perfectly resonant with our Forum's theme. The legacy of Nelson Mandela will serve as inspiration for those seeking to determine the validity of this concept as a viable leadership strategy. Mandela successfully averted civil war in South Africa and transformed the heart of his nation through the power of strategic forgiveness. His leadership continues to inspire world leaders to consider reconciliation. Although forgiveness is not often considered or described as a core leadership value in most organizations; it is definitely critical to establishing and maintaining effective interpersonal relationships. Antoinette will help us to explore the who, what, when, where, why and how of strategic forgiveness, its role in maintaining resilience and its value as a coping strategy to overcome adversity. You will be challenged to employ forgiveness and encouraged to champion it in the workplace.

Michele Gelfand
Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World
Michele Gelfand takes us on a journey through human cultures, offering a new view of the world and ourselves. She shows that much of the diversity in the way we think, and act derives from a key difference—how tightly or loosely we adhere to social norms. Why was the Daimler-Chrysler merger ill-fated from the start? Why are "Red" and "Blue" States really so divided? Why does one spouse prize running a "tight ship" while the other refuses to "sweat the small stuff?"
