It may not be all that revolutionary in psychology to know that rest isn't just about sleep, but is also about the ability to escape the daily grind and let your mental state also rest. Not that anyone in our staff is particularly licensed to assess stress in our guests, but we know based on past visitors and current resort residents that the tranquility and peace of our 550 acres tends to reverse the negativity that can be built up from daily life back at home.
The more we as a society are connected through technology and more efficient methods of producing or servicing customers in our businesses, the faster the pace and demands pile up on us. This can easily become a health burden to anyone if proper periods of rest and escape don't occur. There's a historical reason why the work week was defined as 40 hours and any additional work performed deemed as 'over'time.
Executive getaways are a wise method to recharge and refocus. Many resorts and clubs around the country host executives and staff members or customers of those executives and their company. A quick read from Business Insider demonstrates a few ideas about the importance of these business retreats.
Starting in 2020, the Wilderness Club Resort right here in the Northwest Montana mountain area of Eureka will be expanding its scope of service to the business community as a whole. Becoming a host to group outings, retreats, seminars, conf
erences and any other group gathering that involves 50-100 overnight guests and up to 250 attendees. Our existing facilities and amenities provide both the perfect setting for breathtakingly quiet surroundings but also offer the best of outdoor activities to invigorate and refresh the senses and body alike. From the challenging #42 in the USA ranked, Sir Nick Faldo designed golf course, to our horse park featuring some of the most beautiful trail horses, to the serene Wilderness Lake, th
e picturesque water park with salt water pools and a fun water slide, to the incredible luxury of our contemporary rustic designed cottages and cabins throughout the resort, guests will have no problem fitting in activities to help unwind an uninterrupted time to clearly think and discuss strategies to make their business grow in healthy ways as well. Night time stargazing in a hot tub or group bonfire experiences may cap off a relaxing time at the on-site full service spa. Local outfitters can provide guided fishing trips, hiking, off-road ATV experiences, skiing, boating and water sports, and just about any other experience available in NW Montana.
We offer custom tailored packages that include catering full meals or quick bag lunches or even fresh homemade gourmet pizzas. Whatever the targeted budget, we can customize an experience like no other. Easy access from many major airports around the country, Glacier International Airport is just 70 minutes south of Wilderness Club Resort.

This Corvette comes with its owner's manual and boasts niceties such as factory air conditioning, a factory AM/FM radio, tinted glass, Rally wheels with redline tires, power steering, power disc brakes and power windows. The distinctive Elkhart Blue exterior is matched with a blue interior. The 1967 Corvette is highly popular with enthusiasts, known for several improvements that made the car the culmination of the mid-year era. Gone were the badges from the hood and flags from the fenders; a single opening with five slots replaced the previous three separate slots in the fenders. The brake lights were revised and the reverse light was a single bar above the license plate, and the aluminum bolt-on wheel option replaced knock-off wheels and now used five lug nuts to hold the wheel in place. The parking brake was hand-operated and situated between the seats instead of under the dashboard. The passenger hand bar above the glovebox was eliminated and the seats were redesigned for enhanced comfort and safety among other design and engineering elements that set the 1967s apart from its predecessors. Many Corvette enthusiasts proclaim the 1967 models to be the absolute zenith of the model, featuring a higher degree of quality control over earlier years, with Chevrolet having dialed in construction of the interior, body and chassis to a level that only served to increase desirability of the two-seater. To many, the 1963-67 mid-year cars are the quintessential Corvettes, making them among the most recognized and exhibiting the purest form of Corvette design. This one, with its shimmering blue exterior, high-performance engine and exceptional roster of options, is itching to be driven, enjoyed and shown off by its next caretaker.

If not, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Prada debuted its short silent film Past Forward in full on Thursday, previously only played in parts on the runway. Miuccia Prada teamed up with director David O. Russell to create it, but he's not the only familiar name to take part in the production. The film features Allison Williams, Freida Pinto, and Kuoth Wiel starring opposite John Krasinski, Jack Huston, and Sinqua Walls. Through a hazy dream sequence, each couple takes turns acting out bits and pieces of the same narrative. "Here was the opportunity to make a journey guided by layers of movie memories, life images and emotions, with no aim except to create art — as if it were a painting or a sculpture — free from normal narrative or audience expectations," Russell explained in an official statement. "The cast and I worked simply for the joy of making art." You really have to see the film for yourself to see what he means. We promise all 13 minutes are totally worth it.

Taste of Rata
As you all know, it's Auckland Restaurant month, and the OmNoms team this time had the pleasure of attending Taste of Rata – Held at District Dining, and hosted by it's very own Warren Turnbull with Josh Emett from Rata in Queenstown. Just from seeing these two work, you'll notice how these two understand each other and are a perfect match – though they did start working together since they were teenagers though!
Being taken into the dining area, we were greeted with long tables, seated with unfamiliar faces. Naturally, all the socialising began. Who knew, Josh Emett would be into the idea of communal dining, long tables seated with strangers, with food bringing us all together.
So began our five course menu accompanied with fresh warm bread
Accompanies with our bread – Goats' cheese profiteroles with Rata blossom honey.
The honey was definitely a delight! Having it with goat cheese? Almost like combining the sweet with the savoury, but having said that, goats' cheese is still quite on the neutral side of things for me (not exactly a savoury type food). The honey simply pushed the cheese over the edge into the sweet side, while the cheese supported the pastry with a creamy texture – and like that, our appetites were opened! Just imagine, if you could keep a whole bag these with you while working away…
Seared First Light Wagyu with soy, shitake, ginger
I think there might be some sort of trend going on in the fine dining world that's involving experiencing with Asian flavours – just by looking at these ingredients, you can really see the play on Asian flavours, and no doubt, it definitely tasted like a perfected Asian dish – but the thing that really made this dish perfect was the soy sauce and wagyu together.
Crispy braised pork terrine with caper mayonaise
At first glance, this looks like a fish cake doesn't it? And as take the first bite to break the crispiness, for a second, it is a fish cake. Except, that's when the braised pork comes, and muddles that expectation from a fish to braised pork – a thin juicy texture that pork should have. I must say, the pork really reminded me of traditional Chinese dumplings, no, not the typical dumplings – click on the link and you'll know what I'm talking about. The reason the pork would really taste like that is simply because it's braised, and to combine the crispiness with the juiciness of the pork – I do wonder why we don't see this more often.
Seared Northland Kingfish with saffron, mussels, parsnip
Kingfish! My favourite. Though this definitely did not feel like a dish you would have in winter. Just by looking it all the colours, it looks like a summery dish, and it also tasted like a summery dish – especially by combining parsnip with raw fish. First came the fresh kingfish that made me want to go finishing, then came the sourness of the parsnip that made me want to sit under the sun at the beach!
Free range chicken breast with chicken liver, brussel sprouts, chestnuts
I'm not sure why the chicken liver was on top of toast – I suspect the toast was to neutralise the saltiness of the chicken liver. The thin toast did make eating it a lot easier – most of us just picked it up with our hands. The chestnut puree was a wonder that really supported the chicken, though we all came to some sort of consensus that the chicken itself was too dry, and as soon as our chestnuts ran out, we should stop with the chicken. Maybe the chicken piece was too big? I don't know.
Thyme Crackers and Apricot toast
When these crackers came, the first thing that came to my mind was deep fried wontons! It definitely was on the salty end for me – probably just a bit too much. Ella (a new member of Taste of Auckland) on the other hand, loved it – though she did say she's a big fan of salt.
Whitestone Lindis Pass and pear saffron chutney
If you don't know what Lindis Pass is, it's a new type of brie made by Whitestone. This was accompanied with thyme crackers and thin apricot toast. On one end, there was the sweetness of the pear chutney, with that slight sour taste; on the other, there was the creaminess of the cheese. These two little treats went perfect with the salty crackers.
Granny Smith Apple Parfait with Honey tuille and champagne sabayon
And finally, we came to our last course for the evening – Cecilia's favourite – the dessert. This is another consensus we came to at the table, to call the honey tuille an ice cream sandwich (it really does look like one). The plate was filled with sweets, though different types of sweets – from the apple parfait, to the sabayon. I loved it. Though, something I was not a fan of on the dish were definitely sour apples (at first I thought they were pears). The texture of the apple was a compliment to the dish, but the sourness was just too much for me.
So Taste of Rata came to a beautiful ending, where we met another group of fun people! And even Josh Emett joined in a bit – just to show the fun side of food. Next time I'm in Queenstown, Rata will definitely be the restaurant I'm dining at; and hopefully we'll be seeing the beautiful District Dining again! Even though Auckland Restaurant Month is creeping slowly to an end, Wellington is still going with it's Welly on a Plate, and with Taste of Auckland coming soon, the year is still packed with fun events omnom events! So stay tuned! Oh, and all the fun photos will be up on our page!
In other news, if you're reading this, you'll know that we've finally upgraded our website! If you have any suggestions about the site, feel free to comment, email, or message us on Facebook! We're always looking for omnomnom places as well, so if you know any – put in a word for them. Lots more to come, and hopefully you omnomers will able to join us too! Until next time. Nom.

So we make the decisions bite-sized. Smaller decisions mean smaller mistakes. Novices feel more comfortable pushing the boundaries. Part of the compulsories+ is making and owning up to mistakes.
Of course there are limits. We expect a certain level of technical expertise before anyone can join our whale hunt. Mistakes are fine at the cutting edge of science, but less so in well-established science. And as novices grow we expect them to show they are making fewer mistakes, based on a greater intrinsic understanding of the science.
Senior level mistakes are for very senior level decisions: those that affect the viability of the enterprise. Only a very few will be enough for a change in management. We expect consequences to be commensurate with the importance of the decisions.

A unique archaeological site described as 'Russia's Atlantis' has emerged from beneath the water of a man-made reservoir - with over 100 undisturbed, ancient graves.
The graves are found in the 'Sayan Sea', the Siberian Times report, and date from the Bronze Age up until the time of Genghis Khan.
They appear from the water just once a year, with scientists able to work from mid-May until the end of June, upstream of the Sayano-Shushenskaya Dam.
Researchers have found unique relics including a 2,000 year old mummy dressed in silk, described as a 'sleeping beauty', the Siberian Times reported.
'This site is a scientific sensation', said Dr Marina Kilunovskaya from the St Petersburg Institute of Material History Culture, who leads the Tuva Archeological Expedition.
'We are incredibly lucky to have found these graves of rich Hun nomads that were not disturbed by robbers.
'We discovered 110 burials at the Ala-Tey burial site, which is usually 15 metres underwater.
'Another site which was made at what is now the Sayan Sea shore is getting quickly destroyed by crumbling soil.
'It is called Terezin, and there we found 32 graves.'

Bowe Bergdahl, a US Army sergeant who walked away from his post in Afghanistan and triggered a search that left some of his comrades severely wounded, was spared a prison sentence by a military judge today, in what President Donald Trump blasted as a "complete and total disgrace".
The judge gave no explanation of how he arrived at his decision, but he reviewed evidence that included the five years Bergdahl was held captive by the Taliban and the wounds suffered by troops who searched for him, including one who now uses a wheelchair and cannot speak.
The case was politically divisive. President Barack Obama traded Taliban prisoners to bring Bergdahl back, drawing sharp Republican criticism. As a presidential candidate, Mr Trump called for the soldier to face stiff punishment. He could have received up to life in prison.
The judge also gave the 31-year-old a dishonourable discharge, reduced his rank from sergeant to private and ordered him to forfeit pay equal to US$1000 (A$1307) per month for 10 months.
In court, Bergdahl appeared tense, grimaced and clenched his jaw. His attorneys put their arms around him and one patted him on the back. One defence attorney cried after the sentence was announced.
Defence lawyer Eugene Fidell told reporters that his client had "looked forward to today for a long time".
Bergdahl "is grateful to everyone who searched for him", especially those who "heroically sustained injuries", Mr Fidell added.
Mr Trump's statement came in a tweet about 90 minutes after the sentencing.
"The decision on Sergeant Bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our Country and to our Military," the president wrote.
Bergdahl pleaded guilty last month to desertion and misbehaviour before the enemy. The judge had wide leeway in deciding the sentence because Bergdahl made no deal with prosecutors to limit his punishment.
Prosecutors had sought a stiff penalty because of wounds suffered by service members who searched for Bergdahl after he disappeared in 2009.
The defence sought to counter that evidence with testimony about Bergdahl's suffering as a captive, his contributions to military intelligence and survival training and his mental health problems. The argument for leniency also cited Mr Trump's harsh campaign-trail criticism.
The dishonourable discharge threatens to deprive Bergdahl of most or all his veterans' benefits, but it also triggers an automatic appeal to a higher military court. Before that, a general who can reduce, but not increase, the sentence will also review it.
Mr Fidell told reporters that he looks forward to the appeals court review of Mr Trump's campaign statements, which the president appeared to reaffirm on the day Bergdahl pleaded guilty last month.
As a candidate, Mr Trump "made really extraordinary reprehensible comments targeted directly at our client", Mr Fidell told reporters Friday, calling the situation "one of the most preposterous states of affairs" in American legal history.
He said the defence team sees "an extremely strong basis for dismissal of the case".
Earlier in the week, Bergdahl described the brutal conditions of his captivity, including beatings with copper wire, unending bouts of gastrointestinal problems brought on by squalid conditions and maddening periods of isolation.
After several escape attempts, he was placed in a cage for four years, and his muscles atrophied to the point he could barely stand or walk.
A psychiatrist testified that his decision to leave his post was influenced by a schizophrenia-like condition called schizotypal personality disorder that made it hard to understand the consequences of his actions, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder brought on partly by a difficult childhood.
Prosecutors, who had asked for a sentence of 14 years in prison, did not speak to reporters. But one of them, Major Justin Oshana, said during closing arguments on Thursday that Bergdahl "does not have a monopoly on suffering as a result of his choices".
Scores of troops joined in an all-out search for Bergdahl in the weeks after he abandoned his remote post near the Afghan town of Mest.
Prosecutors cited two missions that resulted in wounds, including a soldier whose hand was shattered by a rocket-propelled grenade and another who suffered a head wound that put him in a wheelchair and rendered him unable to speak.
A Navy SEAL suffered a career-ending leg wound, and a military dog was killed by an insurgent firing an AK-47.
The judge ruled that those firefights would not have happened if not for Bergdahl.
One of the wounded soldiers, Jonathan Morita of California, called the lack of prison time "unacceptable".
Mr Morita, who testified during sentencing, still does not have full use of his dominant hand after he was hit by the RPG, which did not explode.
"The dishonourable discharge means he can't receive any of these services like I can," Morita said in a phone interview.
"He'll pay the fine like people get fined for illegal fishing. Ok, whoop-de-doo."
Referring to the lack of prison time, he added: "That's the one that's completely unacceptable".
"It should have maybe not been the life sentence, but it should have been something," Mr Morita said.
Without confinement hanging over him, Bergdahl already has a job offer from an animal sanctuary, and a military official who helps design survival training said he would like to use Bergdahl as a part of lectures to service members on how to survive captivity.
The soldier from Hailey, Idaho, was brought home by Mr Obama in 2014 in a swap for five Taliban prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay. He has been working a desk job at a military installation in San Antonio and has not been under any pretrial restrictions.
At the time of Bergdahl's release, Mr Obama said the US does not leave service members on the battlefield. Republicans roundly criticised Mr Obama, and Mr Trump went further while campaigning for president, repeatedly calling Bergdahl a traitor who deserved serious punishment.

1. Dreams lead to inventions
"There is no Universe without mind entering into it." (Rhonda Byrne, The Secret) In other words, nothing would exist if we didn't dream it up. ...You know that thing in your pocket that (if you're like me) you're morbidly addicted to, that thing that allows you to connect to people across the world in an instant? Your smart phone, though a variant of its predecessor, was once just a thought in some old dude's head (Alexander Bell's). Isn't that crazy? I know, Alexander Bell invented the telephone, not the smart phone, but you get the idea. He laid out the blueprint for an integral communications device. Can you imagine not having a phone in today's society? And to think, in 1870 a phone was just some neurological sparks coursing through a random human's brain, nothing more.
2. Life is finite
You've probably heard the phrase, "Don't waste your life living someone else's dream," and that, my friend, is a straight up truth bomb. Life is relatively short, so shouldn't you dream big? Isn't the life of your dreams all you've ever wanted in the first place?3. The world needs you to
Think of how boring life would be without music, art, sport, science, and education. Famous musicians are famous because they dream big. Famous artists are studied and renowned because they dream big. Sports stars perform at an unbelievable level of athleticism because they dream big. Scientists can blast a rocket into space and land it on the moon because they dream big. Intellects can revolutionize the world with a single ground-breaking thought because they dream big.
4. Dreams provide 'a way out' or 'a way through'
The process of creation is amazing. Taking something intangible (a thought) and manifesting it into the physical world is pretty much magic if you ask me. That being said, you can remove yourself from some pretty dreadful situations with the right magic. For example, J.K Rowling was dealing with the death of her mother, a miscarriage followed by a divorce, unemployment, destitution, and the contemplation suicide while writing the now worldwide phenomenon, Harry Potter. She could have just given up, but she decided to keep dreaming big. Even after being rejected countless times she continued to seek publishers. She recently achieved billionaire status, though she dropped off the list due to gratuitous donations to charity. Fancy that.
5. Dreamers are more intelligent
And last time I checked, intelligence is a good thing. The following study is more focused on literal dreams, lucid dreaming, and metacognition, but it's still loosely based on everything I've been talking about. You can check it out here. You may think dreaming during sleep is entirely different than "dreaming" during the day, and I'd agree in a way. Dreams during sleep seem like random, crazy, nonsensical thoughts for a lot of people. For others though, it's a whole different story. Click here to learn about ten dreams that changed the course of human history.
6. Famous dreamers
If all of the above is not doing it for you, here is a list of famous people with big dreams that may change your mind.
Mark Zuckerberg
Dr. Martin Luther King
Mary Shelley
John Lennon
Elanor Roosevelt
Walt Disney
Elon Musk
Harriet Tubman
Waldo Emerson
Michael Jordan
Steve Jobs
The Wright Brothers
Benjamin Franklin
Leonardo Da Vinci
Amelia Earhart
Venus & Serena Williams
Susan B. Anthony
Joan of Arc
Helen Keller
Mother Theresa
Rosa Parks
7. It's healthy
This is a no-brainer, but sometimes we don't use our brains. So, I'm telling you- dreaming big is good for your mind, body, and soul. Unplug for a while and just think. Use your imagination. Get lost in something amazing. I know it's hard to stop and take a break in today's go-go-go, technology-based society, but I implore you- take the time to get lost in a dream once in a while. You may just dream up the next big thing.

PKW replied to Anto's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Teamawesome creation, love how compact it is, just a few questions: how are you controlling the buwizz? i know it has only tablet/smartphone controls and touch controls don't help while driftng are you able to separately control front and rear motors? acquiring some skill you should be able to drift really well in that dusty place also i don't own a buwizz but i have a sbrick and lego lipo BB, is the buwwiz heavier than the original lipo BB? i remeeber i wa a ble to dift a little bit on super smooth floor with a RWB light car (1 xl geared up 1:5 for drive and a super fast/high angle steering with m motor) so i'm curious to try your design with the pieces i have (actually using ps4 controller for the sbrick so i can adjust front/rear traction)
I've built it 100% like the digital file,but i'll be driving it with a ps4 remote, so actually 100% speed control and 4 buttons for full forward full backward and a couple of sequences For what I tried it is really fun to drive, but yes it have some "slamming" problem, but still scares my dog even if he is one room away ahahahha Also due to the numerous fights on Christmas i'll be recording it will also fight some smashable (old technic beams and panels) bot so I think it will shows its true power Hope for some teasers next days
Sorry for bumping this topic but.... I can' t wait to fill blacksmith out of the arena! (I'm not sure about image size, i'll check it when i'll be back at home) Jokes aside, i'll be able to film fights this Christmas, and I can'tell fill you out of my new arena because wheeled scorpion will be driven by my cousin and i'll be driving blacksmith (I don't want the advantage of knowing how the bot should be driven) other than this I want to know if you run the bot on 9V or 7.2V, because i'm having some issues of the bot slamming its maces only when full breaking and not always....

PKW replied to PKW's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Teamhi all, it has been a long time since my last post but i'm back into building! i'm currently showcasing all my old builds in this topic, feel free to ask any question here! DAY #4 CARBIDE S-replica name: CARBIDE description: replica of uk robot wars competitor carbide, grand finalist of series 8 and champion of series 9 signature move: horizontal spinner weight class: 1kg new technic motor used: 2x M for drive, 1x 9V motor (745699) for weapon drive: 2WD and can drive even if upside down! notes: the side armor is really tough but can be detached from th main body, also the bar has a quite good punch but luckily not enough to break lego pieces, it can remove armor and exposed wheels. also it is driven by an sbrick receiver so it has the advantage of PWM motor controls and no line of sight needed, may also join 3-robot matches due to not providing interferences with IR PHOTOS: LXF FILE FOR LDD: carbide.lxf
i think the best way is the old and good "press a button to rebind" function, so whle editing control profiles we can both add channel to an input source that rebind it (like if i press "..." near right trigger a greyed out screen with a writing "press a button on the controller to bind it to this input method" appears and if i press my right trigger now i'll be sure that it is linked correctly) here are the values i found in a gamepad controller program: button | number R1 | 101 R2 | 103 R3 | 108 L1 | 100 L2 | 102 L3 |109 X |97 square |96 triangle |99 O |98 touchpad press |106
that's really cool! if i'm right my bot is currently fighting lancelot and its white friend right? i hope the ability of the srimech and the edge-shaped body work good against them, also it is really difficult to compete against so big and powerful robot, glad that is performing well, if you run a small tournament don't forget to create a topic about that!
Hi! I finally own a ps4 and was curious to test the controller with my android (and It works) but I can't figure out how to properly set up the controller profile, first of all the triggers seems to be swapped (trigger (R2) activates the trigger button imput(R1) ) and the real trigger button doesn't work, this also happens in a game pad tester app, also it is really difficult to understand which one of the "button 1...2...3..." correspond to the triggers Is there any way to have a live control profile setting? Like if I press a button/trigger the profile will mark that section so I can individuate where I need to put the link to the sbrick channel Example: I open the app and start editing a profile, then I press a random button (I.e the one that correspond to button 7 on the app) and scrolling al button list I can see the "button 7" highlighted Thanks for your attention and for the time you are investing in this useful app!
really proud someone is building my bots! you may find some other smaller and simplier bot here unforunately i stopped building lego bots for quite a while but i'm starting again since a new robot wars series began and i had some new inspirations,but wheeled scorpion was too good to be modified! currently is sleeping near the other chassis without any electronics, and i really hope i can film some fights during christmas (i have witch doctor vs cardiac II, wheeled scorpion vs The Blacksmith and hopefully 2 new robots wll join my collection to fight together). about the arena yes, i built a new one that is almost finished and will be used for future battles here it is

[WIP] 40+ km/h racer - need your help!
PKW replied to TechnicSummse's topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamAt this point using nxt and ultrasonic sensor why shouldn't be accurate? Also in place of a torch, that diffuse a lot of light, there can be a laser maybe with the help of some nebulizer there will be also a nice effect
[MOC] Prerunner Suv
PKW replied to stricekfido's topic in LEGO Technic and Model TeamWaiting for a video too! Looks really cool and with great offroad capabilities If you click on the images they redirect to the page. But yes stricekfido maybe adding a link could be the right thing ;)
thanks for sharing! it is a good think lego implemented a difference like it did for v2 receiver having cable bending protection on connectors
i love the idea of the race and a sort of fast like competition like the indoor car race or the lego technic rally, what about allowing cabled cars with 3rd part wires? also, how can i recognize if a battery pack is "new" or not without stressing it?
Torque question
PKW replied to tomek9210's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Teami agre with what is there, and yes my mechanism lead to a permanent differential "work" but the results is that torque is not distributed equally to both axles and so you have "kind of more torque" to the front one, this is why it slips and the other stall because the dill gives more torque to that one. and off course the effect has to do with friction, how can we easily measure torque if not putting it agains an equal friction and see what "win it" more easily? also i don't know where that mechanism would be used, but i have to agree that is is not suitable for high speeds but for a supercar model or some small rc veichle it should be ok, even for a torque distribution on a drifting car
62.4 mm wheels Mini 8x8 tatra concept
PKW replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Teamwonderful, i really like the only half stud offset from the two sides, generally i don't like that offset but is almost impossible to have other efficient solution at that scale, also you've made a really good work with the steering!

Give yourself a H.U.G.G.
Everyone deserves a H.U.G.G. – a Huge Unbelievably Great Goal. Why don't you take a moment to give yourself a H.U.G.G. Imagine you live in a world where you are completely supported. There are no limitations and you can learn and acheive anything you desire.
What would you do?
I want you to spend a few minutes writing down three things that you have always wanted to do, but haven't managed to so far, or have dismissed as impossible. Don't think about this for too long. Start writing and see what you come up with.
Make it huge, make it unbelievably great.
Think about how acheiving your goals will transform the way you see yourself. Think about how you will feel about yourself.
Tomorrow, take one small step towards one of your goals, just something small. Continue to take easily acheivable steps and know you are on your way. Keep what you have written, and check it later to see what progress you have made.

Trolleybuses in Leeds
The Leeds trolleybus system served the West Riding of Yorkshire city of Leeds in England between 1911 and 1928. In May 2016, plans to construct a new system, the New Generation Transport (NGT) project, were refused approval from the UK Department for Transport, following a negative report from the planning inquiry.[1]
|Leeds trolleybus system
An original Leeds trolleybus, ca. 1912.
|Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England
The original system was one of the first two trolleybus systems in the United Kingdom, along with Bradford.[2][3] Both systems commenced operation on 20 June 1911,[2][3] but public service in Bradford did not start until four days later.[2][3] The Leeds system had three routes, and closed on 26 July 1928.[4]
Twentieth century routesEdit
The original Leeds route, operated by Leeds Tramways, was from City Square to Moor Top via Lower Wortley and Farnley.[5]
The route was launched at Thirsk Row, off Wellington Street on 20 June 1911. The first of two buses to set off on the first official run was driven by the Lord Mayor, William Middlebrook, and the second by his deputy, Frederick James Kitson. Both buses went on a round trip to Farnley, four miles from Leeds, returning 45 minutes later.[5][6]
When the original route commenced operation, it had four trolleybuses.[5][6] They were manufactured by the Railless Electric Traction Company, and powered by Siemens motors.[5] They had solid rubber tyres and carried 28 passengers, who paid their fares when boarding.[4] Known officially as "trackless cars" to distinguish them from trams,[6] they ran on rural routes, to which trams were not suited.[7]
In 1915 two further routes were opened, unconnected to the first route and operated from an existing tram depot at Guiseley, constructed from stone, which still exists.[4] These were feeder routes to the tram system.
The three routes were:[4]
- Leeds–Lower Wortley–Farnley–Moor Top, opened 20 June 1911;
- Guiseley–Otley, opened 9 September 1915;
- Guiseley–Burley-in-Wharfedale, opened 22 October 1915.[2]
The system was not hugely successful.[7] There was controversy between Leeds Corporation and the various councils over several issues relating to its operation.[4] As time passed, internal combustion engined buses became more competitive. They soon replaced the trolleybuses, which closed on 26 July 1928.[7]
Proposed NGT systemEdit
Following the failure of plans for a Leeds Supertram network, which was rejected by the Department of Transport as being too costly in November 2005, the public transport provider Metro proposed the construction of an electric bus network, at an estimated cost of £300 million. The trolleybus system would be similar to that operating in the French city of Lyon, and gained support from the Regional Transport Board in June 2007.[8]
Proposed vehiclesEdit
The NGT trolleybus vehicles would likely have been single-articulated single-deck vehicles with multiple doors (typically three or four sets). They would have been fully DDA-compliant with low floors to allow through movement by wheelchair users and those with pushchairs and prams.[9]
Proposed routesEdit
Three initial routes were planned, to north, south and east Leeds:[10]
- North route - from a new park & ride site at Bodington (up to 800 spaces)[11] to Leeds city centre;
- South route - from a new park & ride site at Stourton (up to 2,200 spaces)[11] to Leeds city centre; and
- East route - from Leeds city centre to St James's Hospital. This route was later withdrawn from the proposals.
Proposed demolitionEdit
Several buildings were set to be demolished to accommodate the scheme, all of these lie on the Northern leg of the route. The buildings are as follows:
- A parade of eight shops at Hyde Park Corner
- A former stable block and lodge building at the former Leeds Girls High School
- A terrace block within Headingley Business Park, between Headingley Lane and Victoria Road
- A residential brick built villa on Wood Lane, Headingley
- The former First Church of Christ Scientist building on Alma Road, Headingley which is currently used as offices
- Changing rooms and a groundsmans' cottage at the University of Leeds site in Weetwood[12]
Progress of the NGT proposalEdit
A 'Major Scheme Business Case' was submitted to the Department for Transport in October 2009[13] In March 2010, the Government announced that the proposal had been awarded 'Programme Entry Approval'.[14]
Funding was approved for the North Route to Bodington and an extension to Holt Park, the South Route to Stourton and a section of the city centre loop linking these two lines. The government did not approve funding for the East Route or a full city centre loop.[15]
The DfT approved the Holt Park - Stourton route on 5 July 2012.[16] The planned scheme was subject to a public Inquiry in 2014.[17] Following a negative report from the public Inquiry, the proposed scheme was cancelled in May 2016.[18]

17 Things Perpetually Single People Are Annoyed By
Having been single for twenty-one years of my life, I have some experience in the game of singlehood. Well, I guess you could say I'm out of "the game." Skip benchwarmer, I'm a bench-heater. I know that my relationship status does not determine my identity, but it is hard out on these streets to always be single. Here are a few things that we as single people are tired of hearing or are sick of dealing with.
1. "It will happen when you least expect it/when you're not looking."
Okay thanks I'll just turn off my brain when I go about my daily life. And at this rate, I'm never going to expect it's going to happen for me.
2. Feeling pressured to always look your cutest
Even though it's probably not going to happen when you're ~expecting~ it to, you have to make sure "the one" doesn't miss you because you're in your sweats.
3. Couples
They're freaking everywhere. Class. The grocery store. Instagram. We know you're not using your relationship to rub it in our faces but maybe you could just not.
4. Third-wheeling/fifth-wheeling/any kind of wheeling
It's great that your friends are happy with their significant others and even better that they want you to all hang out, but being the odd one out in any situation is rough, especially when the non-odd ones are twirling each other's hair and giving forehead kisses.
5. Having family members ask about the absence of a significant other
It's Thanksgiving. You're just trying to enjoy your mashed potatoes in peace. Aunt Helen innocently asks you if you've found anyone yet. You hold yourself back from lobbing a can of cranberry sauce at her head.
6. Making up absurd meet-cute stories in your head that will never happen just because you thought them into being
The guy who smiled passing you on the sidewalk is not about to run back to get your number or spend the rest of his days searching for you until you end up meeting in a bar seven and a half years later after heartbreak and daily wine nights, making the connection that, wow, you crossed paths once upon a time and were meant to be from that moment on.
7. You really crave cuddles
Physical affection is still easy to desire even when you've had zero to little experience. Having a hand to hold doesn't seem like too much to ask for!
8. Feeling embarrassed for having your entire wedding planned
Flowers? Pink peonies, duh. Dress? Lace mermaid, of course. Location? Backyard of your childhood home, no doubt. Husband? Yeah, dunno.
9. Being told to just go for it
"Just talk to him," they said. "It'll be fun," they said. Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather not embarrass myself into a long, lonely death.
10. Every conversation with a crush seems like a huge accomplishment
Even though you're not necessarily "going for it," it feels like you deserve a gold star and a happy dance every time you're able to talk to that cute guy in your class without completely losing it.
11. Being told you have to love yourself first
Fun fact: I do love myself. That's why I'm out here wondering where my mans is at. I am a damn catch.
12. Facebook sometimes makes you want to off yourself
Every time you log on someone new has gotten engaged or even worse — had a baby. Meanwhile, you spilled powdered sugar on your bare stomach from eating a huge bag of puppy chow.
13. Having lots of time to spend dreaming about the perfect man so that every guy you encounter actually seems like a sack of potatoes
When you have been single your whole life, you build up expectations so that when the (rare) occasion arises, you find yourself asking, "Is this it? This is what I've been spending my time hoping and praying for?"
14. Considering there could be something wrong with you for having been single for so long
But then reassuring yourself that it's the rest of the world's problem for not realizing how amazing you are.
15. Being told to lower your standards
When you've been single for too long, but you've had a few opportunities, people might conclude that you're too picky and encourage you to settle on someone so they can stop hearing about it. Sorry, but no. I know what I deserve.
16. Being told that it will all be worth it when you find "the one"
Maybe, baby, but another night of eating a whole pint Ben & Jerry's while crying at The Notebook could get to be excessive.
17. Actually waiting for "the one"
Where he at tho?

Helps reduce stress and related disease.
No doubt about it: Mindfulness is a hot topic these days. In fact, it may have become a bit of a fad. But unlike most fads, Mindfulness (like Hypnotherapy) has been scientifically studied for decades, and is now medically accepted as a powerful tool to help:
- Reduce toxic stress
- Lower blood pressure and risk of stroke
- Maintain heart health
- Reduce anxiety and depression
Proven Mindfulness techniques (which go far beyond meditation) can also help you improve emotional intelligence, make your relationships better, and achieve important goals.
Mindfulness is different from hypnotherapy in some ways, and similar in others. Both disciplines rely on reaching states of deep relaxation. But Mindfulness offers a wide variety of techniques you can practice on your own, anywhere. Its level of effectiveness increases with understanding and commitment.
Linda studied mindfulness at the world-renowned University of Massachusetts Medical School Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society. For more than 10 years, she has helped organizations and individuals adopt Mindfulness techniques for healthier lives and enhanced performance.

Joint Hearing: Project Baby Bear
Joint Hearing of the Assembly Select Committee on Biotechnology and the California Legislative Rare Disease Caucus to be held on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 in San Diego.
"Assessing California's Clinical Whole Genome Sequencing Pilot Project in Medi-Cal: An Interim Report on the Practical Application of Precision Medicine in California"
Research has shown that clinical rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS) is effective for rapid diagnosis and early treatment of genetic diseases in acutely ill infants in intensive care units, and results in improved outcomes and reduced cost of hospitalization in some patients. Currently, rWGS is not a reimbursed test under Medicaid, and not yet available to most Medi-Cal enrolled infants. On June 27, 2018, the California State Budget appropriated $2,000,000 in funding for a Medi-Cal Whole Genome Sequencing Pilot Program. The State Department of Health Care Services in turn provided this grant to Rady Children's Hospital – San Diego (RCHSD), a California non-profit organization, in order to execute an rWGS Pilot Program now named "Project Baby Bear."
Pilot Project Objectives
Project Baby Bear is a Quality Improvement (QI) project that is employing rWGS for at least 100 acutely ill children enrolled in the Medi-Cal program at a minimum of four neonatal/pediatric Medi-Cal intensive care sites. Rady Children's Hospital – San Diego in conjunction with Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine is evaluating the extent to which rWGS changes the cost of patient care and patient outcomes within four months of return of results. At the conclusion of the grant period, Rady Children's Hospital will provide California's State Department of Health Care Services a report of the cost of care and outcomes of children receiving rWGS compared to those not receiving rWGS. This is an interim report on the 115 children already helped in Medi-Cal.

So, I am blogging historically now as the weather is so awful I haven't been out for weeks.
Some nights really stay with you and this was one of them. It was 30th April 2015. And yes, I was on my favourite mountain, Wetherlam. I had half expected to have to pack up and retreat but I picked a winner!
I had parked in my usual spot in the Coppermines Valley. The forecast was hit and miss but I was optimistic…..The air was cool and clear and I inhaled deeply as I set off, energised by the fresh air and space around me. The wind was fresh but not too gusty. I headed to Hole Rake stopping on the way to fill my water carrier which I would filter later.
It was later in the afternoon as I had got away from work early, I had plenty of time and daylight to get up high. The rocks in the path are al so familiar now! I love mentally picking them out.. What an oddity I am!! Soon I was nearing the path junction which heads up the broad back of the mountain. There really is a huge amount of camp and bivvy spots on Wetherlam. I spy them out on the way up but am always so keen to get as high as possible I will probably never venture to them!
I crossed Red Gill Head Moss and onto Lower Hows. The wind was a little stronger than earlier but the sky was blue, it was sunny and the air was incredibly clear! Perfect….. Apart from the black skies over Blencathra… I knew by the wind direction I was going to 'get it'!! I decided on a pitch on the west side of Hen Tor to try to get a little bit if protection. I hurriedly set about getting the tent up. Knowing how ro get your tent up quickly is always a bonus! Soon I was under the protection of the Halcyon. It is a smashing little tent. The sky darkened outside and the wind whipped up instantaneously. Then the hail started.. It was raging outside amd I worried for the tent.. It staunchly stood its ground and yet again kept me protected. Half an hour and it was all over. I had busied myself with some Uncle Bens rice with pepperami and Dolmio sauce whilst I was tent bound!!! Very good it was too..
I popped my head out and apart from a covering of hail it was back to bright skies. I had a wander around and a quick forecast check and decided it would be safe to move to a more exposed position with better views. Soon I was re-pitched. I had managed to drag/carry the tent intact for the short distance to my chosen spot. Soon I was all set up again.. I had a perfect view. The wind had dropped and the evening was drawing in. The golden hour came and it was one of the finest. It was promising to be chilly for nearly May!..
It's not difficult to get great pictures when the weather is this good. I was mindful of the temperatures dropping as my fingers started to nip. Speaking of nip…. Singleton time
As the sun dipped i sat in awe of the sheer beauty and peace that enveloped me. It had turned out to be a perfect night… Clear sky and no wind. The frost crystals formed on the grass around me mirrored by the stars appearing above me. I wish now that I'd had the bivvy but I was cautious before I set off and knew I had made the right choice. Anyway, the tent doors pin right back so it's almost the same!
The moon was out and the Milky Way was visible. Absolute bliss. I lay half out of my bag and snuggled in to my Fitzroy staring at the sky. Satellites came and went and I was blessed with several shooting stars… I woke to a frosty 4am scene. I had fallen asleep. My nose was cold!!! I adjusted my bag and pulled my buff up and fell back to sleep until the sunrise woke me.
The warmth was weak but welcome and it was time to enjoy the morning show. The changing light on the mountains is just the finest thing to watch.
I had no hurry to leave so I lay dozing in my bag whilst the Jetboil did its work, I filtered the water I had taken from a pool a little was off and soon I was warming my hands round my Sea To Summit mug. It was simply bliss…(I keep my Sawyer in a plastic bag in my inside pocket or inside my bag to stop it freezing).
A few more pictures and I would pack up and head down to the Meadowdore for a proper coffee and maybe a second breakfast!!!

To the editor: Reading Colin Finnegan's recent op-ed made me reflect on the three-plus years since my wife and I left the northern suburbs of Chicago for new jobs in Atlanta. Finnegan is spot-on — the entire Illinois ecosystem of corruption and dysfunction is so nice to have in our rear view mirror. Like Finnegan, we are likely never coming back other than to visit. However, unlike Finnegan, who is just starting out life, we are the exact type of former Prairie Staters Illinois cannot afford to lose: professionals and homeowners in top tax brackets who feed the high-tax "needs" of the land of Madigan.
While we always say that "Chicago is the greatest city in the world," being free from the taxes, idiotic rhetoric, hopeless dysfunction, and never-ending Madiganisms that continue to bankrupt the state is liberating. The residents of our former home state deserve so much better. Unfortunately, they now face even less hope for change than before the election with everything now firmly in the hands of House Speaker Michael Madigan. Very sad. Likely many dark days ahead for Illinois (as if it could get darker). Hoping soon-to-be Gov. J.B. Pritzker can change the calculus.
— Peter Stueckemann, Atlanta
Out of touch
To the editor: After reading Colin Finnegan's recent op-ed, "I left Illinois for law school and I won't be back," I was struck by how ineffective his arguments were. He seems to think the state can meet its obligations on nothing but sunshine and unicorn smiles, when the grim reality is that his candidate was far less interested in the poor people dying in the streets than he was in feeding "the bloated belly of Springfield" Finnegan seemed so concerned about.
Taxes are the price we pay to live in a free society. I've never understood the whiners complaining. Do they want to give up the expressways? Parks? Police protection? Fire protection? Or maybe the schools? Which is it? The whiners need to speak up … I can't hear them over the crickets chirping.
And maybe, if he had stepped out of his cubicle and dragged his eyes off of Gov. Bruce Rauner's talking points memos long enough to notice, he might have seen that there are plenty of legislators out there who are working, year in and year out, to make a serious, substantive impact on the problems that face the people of this state. Kelly Cassidy, Heather Steans, Greg Harris, Ann Williams, Will Guzzardi, Sara Feigenholtz, Daniel Biss — all decent people, wanting to do good in the world. Or maybe Finnegan should try running for office. But I imagine someone with ideas — instead of complaints — would send him packing.

The Appeal of Food Halls and Markets
The recent explosion of food halls across the United State is hard to miss. The number of food halls in the US is expected to triple to almost 300 by the end of 2020. Most major cities have a plethora of food halls, almost all of which have been developed in the last five to seven years. Some are focused on one region (such as Eataly or the newly opened Little Spain in NYC) while most offer a broad array of cuisines. Having just come back from two weeks in Spain, we encountered the food hall's second cousins, the Market (or Mercado) throughout our visit. The Mercado is a unique combination of farmer's market/specialty grocery/retail operation with uniformly beautiful presentations.
We at JGL keep thinking about putting a food hall or market inspired eatery in one of our museum or performing arts center client locations. We have discussed the concept with a few clients but so far have not found the right fit. The inclusion of a food hall in a museum as an example, could serve to draw traffic, generate local interest, support the local community and generate earned income. Downsides, of course, are plentiful including significant space requirements, a very specific layout that is not easily converted and the need to deal with multiple vendors. Until we find the right client site for a food hall we believe there are some food hall practices that can enhance any retail fast casual.
1. Bountiful display – We see half empty display cases in too many locations. The visual appeal is diminished when the display is not replenished.
2. Color and texture are important.
3. Unique packaging draws interest. Toss the clamshell and look to a bento box.
4. Decrease portion sizes and increase variety. Who doesn't love sampling a smorgasbord?
We love checking out food halls on our travels so send us a note with your favorite food hall so we can add it to our must visit list. And if you are a museum administrator with ample space and a penchant for experimentation, reach out!

Politicians, particularly those who have worked their way to senior positions in government, are necessarily cunning, intelligent people. Many may not seem to be at first glance but the nature of the game ensures that only the cleverest, and importantly, the most ruthless, survive or get very far. Why is it then, that they say such silly things?
A recent example that really struck me was the reaction of some Australian politicians to the recent comments by Sheik Taj el-din al Hilaly, the apparent spiritual leader of Australian Muslims, condemning Australians of English descent as liars and convicts, and making the bizarre claim that Islam existed in Australia before white settlement. The sheik, as far as I can tell, judging by those I have met, represents the views of the broader community of Australian Muslims roughly as accurately as the Grand Dragon of the Klu Klux Klan represents the views of white American Christians. Surprisingly, the Australian Prime Minister John Howard reacted appropriately on a potential wedge issue by laughing the comment off and claiming that no one takes the Sheik seriously anymore.
However a chorus of other Australian politicians, including the Labor Premier of New South Wales Morris Iemma, have chimed in with the predictable, banal and overused response "If you don't like it here, go back where you came from!". One might think in a modern, democratic, free and multi-cultural society like Australia, this kind of banjo-picking, mullet wearing, lowest-common-denominator kind of sentiment would be the domain of an extremist fringe, not something you'd expect from an allegedly left wing elected leader. Even John Howard, when he does play the racial wedge card, does so in more sophisticated terms, even if the underlying message is the same.
So why does Iemma, who is clearly more intelligent than this and many other statements he makes imply, say these things? The answer, while admittedly not being too difficult to arrive at, was rammed home to me recently. A member of my extended family was discussing the Shiek's comments recently and announced that while he doesn't normally like that Iemma bloke, he did come up with a really clever answer to that Hillaly guy "If you don't like it here, go back where you came from". I was awestruck at the way such a cliched concept and phrase could possibly be interpreted as in any way clever or original. But there you go, it seems Morris Iemma knows what his electorate wants to hear far better than I do, which is why he's Premier and I'm not.

Which Appliances on your Top 5 Wish List? (Leave a Comment below.)
There are so many techie gadgets around for the kitchen. I dream and daydream about which appliances I would love to have in my kitchen so now. I will share them with you in a series of posts.
1. A Bread Making Machine
Since I have gone gluten-free, I have found it difficult to eat bread that is affordable and with a nice bread texture. Making healthy bread at home would be awesome. The store-bought bread like Udi's Gluten-Free Bread is tough in texture and you have to buy it frozen in order for it to last without molding. I have tried Pamela's pancake mix but not her bread mix. I bought some Bread Mix from Bob's Red Mill. When I bought it I did not realize I needed a machine to make the recipe.
There are two particular ones I would love to have.
Cuisinart Bread Machine
Fresh Bread doesn't get any fresher – or easier – than this! Cuisinart offers expert engineering in smooth brushed stainless to deliver a sensational-looking Convection Bread Maker that automatically adjusts speed and timing, and circulates air while baking. Exclusive Low Carb, Gluten-Free, and Artisan Dough settings are just 3 of 16 preset menu options available with the touch of a button. Cuisinart adds 3 crust colors and 3 loaf sizes, to give bread lovers a choice of over 100 bread, dough, cake – and even jam – combinations!
The other is Panasonic sD
BRE Bread Machine, 4 Baking Modes. Timer: Yes.Crust Setting: Light. Medium. Dark. Features: Yeast Dispenser. Non Stick Coating. Safety Fuse. Power Interruption Protection. Controls/Indicators. Controls: Bread Crust Color Control. Physical Characteristics. Dimensions: 14″ Height x 13″ Width x 9″ Depth. Weight (Approximate): 15.40 lb. Miscellaneous: Package Contents: SD-YD250 Automatic Bread Maker. Measuring Cup. Measuring Spoon. Recipe Booklet. So I dream on! Smile! Remember to eat your veggies!

Should Days of Our Lives recast the role of Paul Narita? Here's who should play the role-->>>
Days of Our lives introduced us to Paul Narita and Christopher Sean in 2014. Even though Paul came to Salem and caused problems for the popular Wilson pairing; Christopher's charm, good looks (that smile) and stellar acting made him an instant hit with fans.
There was an outcry among viewers (myself included) when we learned that Christopher was leaving the show. His soon departure will undoubtedly leave a void. It's painful enough losing Christopher, but do we have to lose Paul as well? Please no.
Paul is the son of a legacy character, has Asian descent (an underrepresented group in daytime) and is a favorite in the dynamic Horita/Wilson triangle. It's obvious that this triangle is far from over. There are still many stories left to tell. We want Paul in Salem.
Some have already started their wishful casting lists. We are joining the fun. When coming up with our top pick, we didn't have to look far. Our pick, Michael Copon, was almost too easy.
For those who aren't familiar, when the tv show, The Bay, began its production for its fourth season, it was reported Christopher Sean would be exiting the role of Colton Kurosaki and that Michael Copon would replace him. Some of Michael's other gigs have included One Tree Hill, The Scorpion King: Rise of a Warrior and Bring It On: In It to Win It.

Philex Mining Corp. said it paid P1.386 billion to increase its stake in oil and gas firm PXP Energy Corp."Further to our previous disclosure last 27 December 2018, please be informed that Philex Mining Corp. paid today the amount of P1,386,450,000 in relation to its subscription payable to PXP Energy Corp.," Philex Mining said in a disclosure to the stock exchange.PXP Energy confirmed the receipt of the payment in a separate disclosure.Philex earlier paid a 25-percent downpayment or P770.25 million as a part of its subscription agreement involving 260 million common shares of PXP Energy at P11.85 per share, or for a total of P3.081 billion.The remaining balance of P925 million will be paid from the date of the "call" by the PXP Energy board which was not yet disclosed.Philex owned 19.76 percent of PXP prior to the new subscription. This will increase to 25.91 percent upon completion.Dennison Holdings Corp. led by businessman Dennis Uy last month paid out an initial downpayment of P40.29 million for the subscription of its shares in PXP Energy with the full payment due by March 31.Dennison agreed on Oct. 26 agreed to subscribe to 340 million common shares in PXP Energy at an anaggregate subscription price of P4.03 billion.
Dennison will have a total ownership interest in PXP of 14.78 percent once the deal was sealed.Total subscription of both Dennison and Philex in PXP Energy reached P7.11 billion which the oil and gas firm plans to use to fund exploration projects."PXP intends to use the proceeds it expects to raise from the private placement to Dennison and Philex to fund its exploration activities and other oil assets within the Philippines and in Peru, and to repay its advances from Philex," the company said earlier.PXP Energy is an upstream oil and gas company incorporated in the Philippines whose shares are listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange. The company directly and indirectly owns oil and gas exploration and production assets in the Philippines and other countries.PXP, through Forum Energy Ltd., a 78.98-percent owned subsidiary, is waiting for the guidance from the government on any future activity in Service Contract 72 (Recto Bank) and SC 75 (Northwest Palawan). Both service contracts are under force majeure amid the territorial dispute over the West Philippine Sea.
