Exclusive Interview with Brazilian Ambassador Carlos Alberto Asfora
Carlos Alberto Asfora, Ambassador of Federative Republic of Brazil to Georgia, is the second ambassador who accepted our interview, without inquiring about the questions beforehand. He just said that he would be rather placid as "there is no time for harsh statements". Let's see what the only Latin American Ambassador in Georgia thinks about the latest events and agitation taking place in his host country and what are his anticipations about theupcoming Parliamentary Elections.
G.J: We are worried about the events taking place in the Georgian jail. Could you comment on them briefly?
C.A: I think the reaction was similar from all segments of the society, starting from the President of Georgia himself. He strongly condemned the tortures. The international community had the same reaction. It was unanimously denounced by everybody.
G.J: How does the Embassy see its participation in the upcoming elections?
C.A: There was a request from the Georgian Embassy in Brazil, a letter from the Foreign Minister Vashadze to the President of Brazilian Senate and the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies to send observers to the elections. A few days ago we were informed that the Senate would not send any observers. We still have not heard from the Chamber of Deputies. Our Parliament is bicameral - and we have not received the information from the lower house, whether they will send a representative or representatives to observe the elections.
G.J: What was the reason they did not accept this request?
C.A: I think the reason is that we also have elections in mid-October. So, the whole country is very much involved in the process. This is the clear reason why the Brazilian lawmakers cannot go abroad because they are all participating in the campaign. (Brazil has the elections of city mayors).
G.J: In your opinion, do the authorities use the budgetary resources for conducting election campaign?
C.A: (a long pause…) There have been reports in the press, stating "that the authorities have used budgetary resources for the election campaign." I have seen them. On the same token, I have also read reports, stating that "the authorities have unfairly accused the opposition of using the illegal financing for the campaigns." I have seen those reports, but I don't have any precise or definite information about either question.
G.J: How do you assess the fact that during the last year, the opposition has been consolidated and has strengthened considerably?
C.A: It is a positive thing, it really is. All vital democracies have a strong opposition. It's a part of democratic process. Democracy is always evolving. I think that no country in the world has the perfect democracy. In my own country we have lived through periods of dictatorship. We have a very open democratic system for a few decades now, but it's a constant process that needs to be perfected all the time. In the case of Georgia, it seems obvious to any outside observer that the country has no democratic history. It's a country that throughout its history experienced very few periods of democratic rule. These elections, as far as I know, will be the first time when a peaceful democratic transition from one government to another will be take place.
G.J: Do you think that the elections will be really peaceful?
C.A: I am glad to read in the reports that
many parties are calling for peaceful reaction on the part of the population, including the opposition parties. They are asking people to refrain from provoking the situation even now, given the latest events, but also during the pre-election period and the days following the elections, that will be very important too.
G.J: How do you evaluate the appearance of Ivanishvili in Georgian politics and how do you compare this occasion to its analogues in the other countries – is it always dubious when a billionaire enters the politics? The opinion about him is quite ambivalent, and this is partly because of the anti-campaign that is on air every day conducted by the ruling party. However, before he entered the political arena, everybody viewed him as a businessman who had done a lot of charity for this country without appearing on TV or elsewhere. Now, things have changed. I don't want to sound as being the supporter of either side, but if we see it from this angle, he is not seeking for the money, as he is very rich. As one of Ivanishvili's supporters said, "why is it bad if a man has a lot of money and wants to use it for the good of his home country?" Is not it possible that he really is interested in the benefit of the country?
C.A: I think each case is different and there is no meaning in comparing different countries and different situations. What I know about Mr. Ivanishvili is what you have just said; that in the past he was greatly admired in Georgia for his good deeds. I think it's a part of the democratic process that everybody has the right to have political aspirations. I don't know him personally, I never spoke with him, but I know that at some point he decided to join politics. He did not have any previous political experience, but he had a lot of experience of living in this country and if he decided to join the politics, it's normal and healthy. On the other hand, he played a positive role of uniting the opposition because previously Georgian opposition was highly polarized and the fact that Mr. Ivanishvili managed to create a coalition, is a positive move for any democratic system. So, I think it's very exciting that elections are unpredictable because it's not good for any country to have elections when you know in advance who is going to win.
G.J: A lot of criticism has followed the events in the Gldani jail, claiming that it was the responsibility of the President and the government and not only the minister and that in every normal country in the same situation they would resign. Do you think that this must be the adequate outcome?
C.A: I think that the appointment of Mr. Tughushi was a very good step. He has a perfect record as an Ombudsman. I think it is a right direction. I would rather not say anything else, I don't want to forecast the situation. I have met Tughushi and I have read his reports and I have high praises for his brilliant attitudes and activities, so I thought it was a very good step by the President to announce his appointment to the post of the Minister as he knows more things than anybody else in this system. He is in the right position now and he can keep his promise and change things.
G.J: Which is the biggest problem that you see in the election campaign?
C.A: I think the biggest problem is the lack of democratic traditions. As I said, you won't find perfect democracy anywhere in this world. As a diplomat, I have lived in seven different countries and all of them are supposed to be democracies, including my own. In all the countries I have lived, there are some problems. Democracy is not a perfect system, but compared to others, it's the best one – as they say it, it's the least bad form of governance. I know that the international community, be it the European Union, individual governments, the United States of America, NGOs, Council of Europe - they are all focused on the Georgian elections and on his part, President Saakashvili has promised that the elections will be transparent and fair. It's a great opportunity for Georgia to finally define its choice of western and democratic values over other systems that have ruled here in the past.
G.J: American Diplomat Purse said that if the international community is not actively involved in the Georgian elections, we may get the same picture as in Syria or Iraq. How would you comment?
C.A: I don't see any similarities. The previous government of Iraq and the present government of Syria were/are led by non-elected officials. President Saakashvili was elected twice in democratic elections, so I don't see the similarities. The ethnic and religious problems that those countries have faced are also absent in Georgia.
G.J: So, you believe that Georgian people as a whole will cope with this exam?
C.A: Yes, I do, because Georgian people have had their share of violence, blood-shed and unfairness in the past. They have lived through very difficult times. It was not long ago – they do have very clear memories and the scars of very hard times. I have been here for just one year, but still I see that the people want to live in a peaceful and fair country.
G.J: Thank you for this viewpoint. But in case there still are any confrontations, do you think that the international community will play a role of a mediator and peacemaker and to what extent can we rely on its help?
C.A: There are clear limits what the international community can do. But Georgia is a very special country compared to all the other former Soviet republics except for the Baltic States that are already members of the European Union. Georgia has made the clear choice for western values. In this regard, it's been closely watched by the west, by everybody, because strategically, it's an important country that represents a pillar of western civilization in this part of the world; so I think that the international community is very attentive to what goes on in Georgia. But like I said, there are limits of what can be done. I would not dare to predict what will happen. If some impasse sets in after the elections. I feel that all Georgians should take into account that now more than ever the country needs to be united, this is the time for teaming up; it's not the time for hatred, it's not the time for vengeance, it's the time for unification. The whole country has to team up in the search for a peaceful and proper future. It's well known that foreign donors have supported Georgian democracy in recent times a lot, but the key responsibility is in the hands of Georgians themselves.
G.J: The events of 2003 showed that in the crucial moments the assessments of top international organizations are quite mild. I mean the conclusion that was published after the presidential elections that was known for its total swindle and was followed by massive protest and ended by the Rose Revolution, but the conclusion read: "There were some violations but all in all, the elections were held fairly." Don't you think that such rhetoric should be modified and how likely is it that it'll change?
C.A: I think it's more likely that the international observers will be more careful in their appraisal of the elections. Hopefully, they will present an accurate picture of exactly what happened and that's also a big first step towards fair elections, because I doubt that so many people would arrive here and in the end they won't present an accurate picture of what they witnessed. So, I think they will play a significant role in the elections.
G.J: The opposition claims that the process of deception has started already, meaning the biased and unequal ground offered to all of them. There is a real information war, as if the media sources are the main contesters. The situation is assessed by all parties as polarized. How do you evaluate the media environment, as one of the key instruments?
C.A: I agree that before the "must carry" initiative the conditions were not equal and that the opposition had no access to the entire country. It's undeniable. I think it's clear that the opposition was not granted a fair ground from the beginning. It came later during the process. The impounding of satellite dishes and the fines imposed on Mr. Ivanishvili, seemed heavy-handed attitudes on the part of the government to avoid the growth of the rating of the opposition in the polls. Further along the road, the government showed more tact in dealing with the opposition and I think the international community played a role there.
G.J: October 1 is Monday. It was declared by the authorities a holiday. However, the leader of the "Georgian Dream" claims that this may cause inconveniences to the Georgian citizens living abroad, as it is the normal weekday there and they will find it rather difficult to vote. Don't' you think it was more than possible and better to hold elections on Sunday, as usual?
C.A: I don't think it's a problem, because the polls are open for quite a long period during the day. I don't think that this should be a problem for the voters overseas.

Stabilize your crawl space
Uneven floors and sagging floor joists are often signs of rotten floor joists and unstable columns in your crawl space. This often occurs because joists are weakened from excess moisture present, the floors above the crawl space exceed the weight capabilities of the current support posts, or there was poor crawl space construction. If these conditions exist in your home or business, it is likely you need crawl space stabilization services.
SouthernDry depends on the PowerPost system for proper and permanent crawl space stabilization. It is made up of heavy galvanized steel jacks that are easily adjustable and can support a tremendous amount of weight. This means it is a permanent solution for sagging floors, and will ensure that your crawl space stabilization is structurally sound for many years to come. This system can also be paired with full crawl space encapsulation for a cleaner, healthier crawlspace environment.
If you are noticing issues with the structure of your crawl space or are looking to turn it into more usable space, consider crawl space stabilization services from a reputable and knowledgeable crawl space company like SouthernDry. We offer free crawl space stabilization inspections and estimates to homeowners and businesses in Birmingham, Hoover, Pell City, Bessemer, Anniston, Jacksonville, Cullman, Gadsden, Albertville, Jasper, Talladega, Tuscaloosa, Oxford, Montgomery, and the surrounding areas.

SAP makes a big thing on the interoperability of the new Lumira 2.0 analytics product that will be available expectedly July 2017. Lumira 2.0 is the new data discovery and dash boarding tool that converges the current SAP Lumira and SAP Design Studio. "Interoperability", you'd say? … interoperability between what? … and why do we need that? … let me explain.
Bringing easy-to-use self-service data exploration and visualization to the end users has been key to SAP when launching Lumira a few years ago. It has been a success; Lumira lowered the adoption curve of end users to analytics enormously. The output of Lumira – so-called storyboards – can be published the SAP BI Platform to be consumed by others. However, when these same storyboards require to be professionalized, they must be rebuilt using SAP Design Studio. For this professionalization, you might think of bringing multiple storyboards together in one dashboard, or for example when cross-chart filtering, or complex filtering needs to be added to name a few. Also in case of required live connections to SAP BW, Design Studio is needed.
Lumira 2.0 will dramatically simplify the above: end users who create storyboards and require these to be professionalized towards enterprise-wide dashboards, can now have this done very easily in the same Lumira 2.0 product. We call this interoperability: the seamless cooperation and interactivity of storyboards or mock ups, with enterprise wide authored dashboards. Interoperability thus means bi-directional communication between storyboards and dashboards. Pretty catchy stuff, if you'd ask me!
Let's make things a bit more concrete and discuss several use cases for this interoperability. It will help us understanding the value of interoperability:
Tuning a storyboard
Lumira 2.0 Discovery allows for data exploration, -blending and visualizations through storyboards. Its features are advanced yet focus on quick and easy creation of insights. Some more advanced features are missing. That is on purpose; Discovery aims at end users and they easy way of insights gathering. If however an end user wants some additional – advanced – features applied to the storyboard, the Designer component of Lumira 2.0 offers the solution. Take the example of below video where the creator of a simple storyboard on sales performance per region requires cross-chart filtering. It allows to click on a (section of) a parent chart, where the selection drives the filtering of the other graphs. This feature is not part of Discovery, but can be applied in Designer. The solution is to open the storyboard in the Designer module, apply some simple guided script and save the storyboard. What I like on this approach is that SAP succeeded I keeping any complex stuff away from the real end-user: Discovery remains the easy-to-use data discovery tool it always has been.
Combining various storyboards
You know this one; your management requires a dashboard that oversees a full LOB process. Spend, sales, finance or manufacturing metrics, they all need to be in and provide a 360° overview. The Discovery component might play a big role here, but probably will give you various storyboards that each cover the pieces (spend, sales etc) of the process. Designer now comes in by creating one (!) dashboard application where you pick up the various storyboards. In the video below is an example of this use case.
Professionalize to an enterprise dashboard
The most obvious use case for interoperability is definitely the professionalization of your storyboards using SAP Lumira 2.0 Designer. The Designer module has basically no limitations when it comes transferring your storyboard(s) to enterprise wide dashboard applications. Adding radio button groups, sliders, interactive commenting, responsive color-coded progress indicators, input fields, tab-strips, chart-pickers and so on. But also adding more data-sources, creating a scorecard or set-up adaptive layout (when enlarging the browser, graphs are automatically re-arranged) can be done. Have a look at this page to see just a little glimpse of what's possible; all of the previous SAP Design Studio 1.6 capabilities - and more - are part of SAP Lumira 2.0 Designer, and you know that one has always been my definite favorite just because of its tremendous capabilities.
Win your end user
Here might be situations where want to avoid the "openness" of Discovery to end users. Discovery is easy to use but its openness allows people to change graphs, filters or even add formulas. When you are looking for a dashboard that can only be consumed (typically with a huge audience (i.e. A public one) without consumers changing anything, you can use Designer to create an authored dashboard application from the initial storyboard. These applications have stunning visualizations and allow for very precise tuning on how your end user can interact. They can run on the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform but also for example directly on SAP HANA. Like referred in my blog on winning your end users, authored dashboard applications are the ultimate way to offer insights to really huge amounts of users. Now your process can start with a storyboard in Discovery and professionalize it in Designer.
Take the governance hurdle
Ah, governance again. Did you already come across your end users requests to have a single - multi page dashboard application, where users - depending on their role and authorizations - only see the sections and data they are entitled too? You must have, since each of my customers ask for it. Its about the classical example of a management cockpit dashboard covering Sales, HR, Finance, Spend and Marketing data, where depending on the user(-groups) some people should not see the HR section or just a piece of the Spend section. Well, setting this up in one application is called the governance-hurdle and definitely a "SAP Lumira 2.0 Designer-job".
The advanced dashboard
Close to the use case for professionalization is the use case for an advanced dashboard. Imagine you want end user to be able to click though a detailed WebIntelligence report when clicking/filtering a chart in your storyboard. SAP Lumira 2.0 allows for query-parsing which means that a filter that the user applies to a dashboard (using combo-, dropdown-, or checkboxes for example) is communicated/parsed onto the WebIntelligence report that can be linked to a dashboard. Here is an example. Of course there are many other examples in this use case: think of embedded video in dashboards, an enterprise dashboard that combines self-service SAP BW discovery (template) with an upfront prepared storyboard with reference data ...well, your imagination will do the rest.
The data connection and blending challenge
One of the strong points SAP Lumira 2.0 Discovery is its data mashup, -enrichment and especially blending capabilities. It is so easy to join data-sets from various source types (CSV, Xlsx, SQL, BW, HANA, Universes, Hadoop, SalesForce, JDBC, Cloudera, Vora ... etc ..etc ) and quickly discover the data. There is also blending where the same can be done on data sources with different grain. Well, all this enrichment and blending can be easily set-up in a Discovery storyboard and re-used in SAP Lumira 2.0 Designer. For those of you familiar with SAP Design Studio, they will recognize the huge amount of time they will gain. I touch an example of this in below video. What I am saying here, is that the Designer developer can greatly leverage the easy data-mashup capabilities of Discovery.
Apply templates
When your user community for SAP Lumira 2.0 Discovery starts growing, the number of storyboards will quickly expand. To manage some consistency in the lay-out and apply enterprise branding, one could consider to use Designer templates. These templates are made one and applied can be applied to any enterprise dashboard based upon storyboards. In addition - or part of - to the template, Designer allows to apply CSS Style sheets where every single lay-out property can be defined upfront.
In this video I show you some of the use cases mentioned above. I hope it gives you some more insights on my case for interoperability. Next to the online SAP BW connectivity, the interoperability is key and essential and will allow SAP Lumira 2.0 to in the analytics market.

by Jim Keck
This time of year has always been tough on my health and my weight, and it always seems to be for the same reasons.
As winter approaches I can no longer enjoy outdoor activities like golf and biking, but I am not quite motivated enough to go to the gym so my activity level drops dramatically. Even worse, my sweet tooth for chocolate and tasty (but maybe not so healthy) food kicks in around Halloween and usually does not let up until after the New Year.
But here it is December already and for the first time that I can remember, I feel good and have actually dropped a couple of pounds since Halloween.
Here are the three changes I made that helped me stay healthy for the holidays:
Keep Moving
When the weather started to turn cold and the golf clubs and bike got put away, I decided that I needed to do something physical every day. It was not easy. As usual, this year I again used the hectic holiday schedule as an excuse not to go to the gym, but now if I decide to blow off working out, I still make myself do something, anything. It can be yoga, cardio, a brisk walk, or on the days when I am feeling really lazy I'm happy if I do even five minutes of stretching. Every little bit helps.
50/50 Raw Food
I really love holiday food. This is the time of year when I find myself craving starches and bad carbs. Potatoes, bread and butter, stuffing, you name it and I'd eat it. Dr. Barb is always promoting a 50/50 plate where we eat 50% raw food and 50% anything else (within reason). I guess her words finally sank in. Now when I sit down to eat I look at my plate and make sure that at least 50% is occupied by raw food. This has made a tremendous difference for me. The raw food has water and fiber that makes me feel full so I don't eat as much, and the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes help curb my cravings for the bad carbs.
Upgrade the Sweets
I have a sweet tooth for chocolate and I was never too fussy about the quality of chocolate I ate. At Halloween I would buy some of my favorites and help myself from the trick or treat bowl, then continue to eat sweets through November and December until the extra pounds and the aches and pains in my muscles forced me to realize that it was time to stop. This year we handed out Glow Sticks instead of chocolate to the trick or treaters which helped me a lot. But the biggest change for me was that instead of buying common milk chocolate, I now buy high end Swiss and German Dark Chocolate. I find that just a little bit satisfies me a lot, so I eat much less. And trust me, it is GOOD.
These three simple strategies have helped me stay healthy and keep the extra pounds off so far this holiday season. Notice that none of these actions require drastic changes on my part and I am denying myself nothing. I can still be occasionally lazy about working out, I still get to eat stuffing and even a bit of chocolate. So in January after the holidays, instead of working so hard to feel better and lose the holiday weight like I usually do, I can go into the New Year feeling good about my health.

"He puts the Taz in Taz-ManiaWa waee weda whe spzzz!"
Down in Taz-Mania
Come to Taz-Mania
We mean you!
—from the Expository Theme Tune
This Sixty Five Episode Cartoon series focuses on the vicious, carnivorous Looney Tunes villain, the Tasmanian Devil aka Taz. Only now he's not any of the three (unless he's trying to eat the kiwi, but we'll get back to that), instead it just shows Taz in his native Tasmania, where the sky is always yellow in the rain or shine. In the land way under down under, Taz spends time with his family, hangs with his pals, collects bottle caps, works at his job as a bellhop and tries to eat the kiwi. Sure, it may sound boring, but no matter what Taz does, Hilarity Ensues.
Other than Taz there are:
- Jean - Taz's socially active homemaker mother, who is very friendly and kind.
- Hugh - Taz's laid-back Bing Crosby-ish dad whose advice always seems to end in "Blah Blah Blah Yakety Schmackity". This possibly symbolises how nobody listens to him, or to Taz's wild manner of speaking.
- Molly - Taz's sister who is embarrassed by Taz's behavior and constantly threatens him with baths ("Taz hate water").
- Jake - Taz's neurotic little brother.
- Dog - Taz's pet turtle who acts like a dog.
- Drew - Taz's equally laid-back uncle, who appears only in the "Road To Tazmania" episodes (playing the role of Bob Hope).
- Digeri Dingo - An egotistical bottlecap collector who sometimes cons Taz out of his. His ego often leads to his downfall. A notorious Fourth Wall Observer with a ton of deadpan snark in his system.
- Wendal T. Wolf - A neurotic Tasmanian wolf who believes himself to be last of his kind, and who pathetically tries to force Taz to befriend/protect him.
- Francis X. Bushlad - The son of the chief of the mudpeople, who hunts Taz to complete his passage into manhood but acts like an Ivy League rich kid.
- Bushwacker Bob - The irritable owner of the hotel Taz works at, thinks Taz is a slacker and a screw up.
- Mum - Bob's mother, treats Bob's workers (including Taz) with kindness while criticizing and insulting her son.
- Constance - A heavy-set koala maid for Bob's hotel who has a crush on Taz.
- Mr. Thickley - A wallaby tour guide for Bob's hotel who doesn't really know anything.
- Bull Gator & Axl - Two hunters who want to capture Taz and send him to a zoo, for all the zoo-going children of the world. They usually fail because Axl "does something stupid", that tends to result in a knock upside the head for Axl, and/or the both of them getting mauled by Taz.
- Buddy Boar - Taz's best friend who acts like a Hollywood agent. By season 2, he's Put on a Bus, making minor cameo appearances afterward.
- The Platypus Brothers - Timothy and Daniel, two genius inventors who use Taz as their guinea pig.
- The Kiwi - A tiny yellow bird that Taz can't seem to eat, because it easily outwits him. It makes the Road Runner look like a snail.
- The Bushrats - Rats that attack people and speak in subtitles.
- Willie Wombat - A character added to the show later, who is good-natured, says hello to everything and everyone and complains about his role on the show which is a Bugs Bunny Expy.
Have we left anyone out?
Oh yeah. Don't forget Taz.
So as not to create an entire family of Tazes, despite being the eldest child of three, Taz himself is portrayed as being somewhat backwards, with his family being (relatively) civilised and fully capable of speaking English. However, they too are also fully capable of causing carnage, though they have more self-control. His parents are especially patient and understanding with him... like they would be if he was... you know... special.
This show contains examples of:
- Adaptation Distillation: There were a few video games made based on the show, but only Taz starred in them (indeed the first game is the only time we see any other characters from the series, which was Taz's family, and only for the opening cutscene. All of the other characters/enemies were generic alligators, carnivorous plants, rock monsters and others, culminating in a final boss battle with a gigantic seagull).
- The Super-NES version focused on Taz's efforts to catch the Kiwi on a busy highway. Some characters from the show would appear as obstacles, and occasionally Digeri Dingo would hand Taz a power-up.
- All Animals Are Dogs: Dog, who is a turtle. Who thinks he is a dog.
- All Just a Dream
- Anti-Villain: Bull Gator and Axl just want to please to zoo-going children of the world. And get money for doing so.
- Beware the Nice Ones: When Constance finds out her favorite wrestler isn't just putting on an act, and is really and truly beating seven kinds of snot out of Taz, she takes exception to his behavior and thoroughly kicks his ass.
- Blah Blah Blah: Hugh, ending with Yakety Schmackity.
- Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: In "Francis Takes a Stand", Francis switches Taz's lemonade recipe with a recipe for a Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce. Naturally, Francis ends up drinking more of the stuff than Taz does.
- Caught in a Snare: Bull Gator & Axl get trapped in a snare they set for Taz; then Taz trips another nearby snare on purpose just so he can get close enough to make hilarity ensue.
- Cheerful Child: Jake.
- Chekhov's Gun: Played with in an episode where a large weight dangles precariously above the characters throughout. Later it's revealed that it was All Just a Dream of Francis Bushlad's. Bushlad berates the writers for the lame ending and for not using the weight. The writers retaliate by dropping it on him repeatedly.
- Christmas Episode: "No Time for Christmas"
- Cool Uncle: Drew is adored by Taz and his siblings. Maybe because he's a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Bob Hope.
- Cute Bruiser: Constance Koala
- Deadpan Snarker: Digeri Dingo
- Determinator: Francis X Bushlad
- A Dog Named "Dog": Dog
- Doom It Yourself: The entire plot of "Home Despair" as Taz attempts to repair a hole in the wall before his parents get home.
- Everythings Better With Platypus
- Expy: the Kiwi to the Roadrunner and Willie Wombat to Bugs Bunny (much to the latter's chagrin)
- Bob and Mum are basically Basil and Sybil Fawlty, with Taz as Manuel.
- Executive Meddling: Done in-universe in the episode "Taz Babies." The Vice President of the network makes changes to the show, including truncating scenes of witty dialogue, making Bull Gator the main character, changing Axl into a dog, and eventually turning it into a Spinoff Babies show before deciding to just cancel it entirely.
- Extreme Omnivore: Although Taz has shown that he will eat absolutely anything, this trope is pushed to its most extreme point in this show, with him eating sheep, pets, TNT, fridges and other characters, often without chewing.
- Falling Into the Cockpit: This is how Taz ends up piloting a space shuttle to save earth from a meteor swarm in "Astro-Taz". of course, he thinks it's just a video game.
- Fire-Breathing Diner: Happens in "Francis takes a Stand" when Francis switches Taz's lemonade recipe for a hot sauce recipe. Taz's resulting fire breath scorches Francis like a flamethrower. When Francis tries to turn the tables on Taz and takes a swig of the lemonade/hot sauce, his fire breath acts like a jet engine and propels him into a cliff.
- Fluffy the Terrible: One short has Molly adopt a kitten that acts like a sweet little puddytat around her, but is really a psychotic malicious monster.
- Fourth Wall Observer: Digeri Dingo.
- Genre Savvy: Just about any character, due to there being No Fourth Wall, though notably Willie Wombat, who is all too aware that he's going through the motions of a predator-chases-prey cartoon, and grows increasingly resentful about it as the series goes on.
- Hammerspace: Taz-Mania used many of the tropes from the Looney Tunes shorts, so Hammerspace was well and truly in effect. In "A Flea for Me", for example, the flea pulls a complete oil well out from under his coat.
- Headphones Equal Isolation: Molly
- Hell Hotel: "A Midsummer Night's Scream"
- Hospital Hottie: Dr. Duckbreath's nurse.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: In "Astro-Taz", Taz's skill at video games allows him to shoot out a meteor swarm that was going to destroy the Earth.
- I'm a Humanitarian: The owner and staff of the motel in "A Midsummer Night's Scream".
- Inevitable Waterfall: A ludicrously tall example occurs in "Doubting Dingo".
- Inn of No Return: The motel in "A Midsummer Night's Scream".
- Insignia Rip Off Ritual: Happens to an elderly Francis X. Bushlad when it is discovered that he never completed his manhood ritual.
- It Was Here, I Swear: Taz's attempts to convince Bushwacker Bob that someone is trying to murder them in "A Midsummer Night's Scream".
- Jerkass: Bushwacker Bob.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Taz in some episodes. Bushwacker Bob and Digeri Dingo have their rare soft sides.
- Knife Outline: Happens to Taz when he walks into the bathroom of the Inn of No Return in "A Midsummer Night's Scream".
- Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Well-meaning and gregarious though he is, Mr. Thickley's assessment of his own expertise has absolutely no bearing on the reality of same.
- Last of His Kind: Wendell T. Wolf, the last Tasmanian wolf alive.
- Leitmotif: This show's theme music would later accompany Taz's cameos on Animaniacs and Histeria!
- Men Can't Keep House: "Boys Just Want To Have Fun"
- Nice Guy: Mr. Thickley, Hugh, Jean, The Platypus Brothers and Willie Wombat
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Hugh is Bing Crosby, and Drew is Bob Hope (as his episodes are Whole Plot References to the Hope/Crosby "Road Pictures"); Wendell is Woody Allen.
- No Fourth Wall: Any episode with Digeri Dingo.
- Not Even Bothering with the Accent: The hotel staff are the only characters with Australian accents; everyone else is American.
- Noble Savage: The Bushrats, for the most part.
- Odd Name Out: Molly's favourite band is The New Chips off the Block; Donnie, Ronnie, Lonnie, Bonnie and Clyde.
- Overshadowed by Awesome: Taz-Mania is often overshadowed by other 90's Warner Bros. cartoons (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and Freakazoid) though it's still fondly remembered.
- Plank Gag: Axl does it to Bull Gator. Bull's response is a Genre Savvy "I really should have seen that coming".
- A Real Man Is a Killer: A child-friendly parody with Francis X. Bushlad, whose father is more than willing to give a more modern and civilized initiation into manhood. He insists on forging his spirit in the tradition of his ancestors, and as such has vowed to hunt Taz.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: Kiwi, the Bushrats.
- Rite of Passage: Francis X. Bushlad's tribe has three options: kill a dangerous animal (Francis' choice), successfully buy out a major corporation in a hostile takeover, or amass a stock portfolio worth $500,000.
- Shamgri La: The idyllic city of Platy-La, which the Platypus Brothers find in their ridiculously huge attic.
- Superheroes Wear Capes: Taz-Man, Taz's makebelieve superhero persona, wears a cape (of the bath towel tied round your neck variety).
- Swallow the Key: Taz does this after he has cornered Francis X. Bushlad (who is disguised as an attractive female Tasmanian devil) in "A Young Taz's Fancy".
- The Television Talks Back: In "Ticket Taker Taz", Molly's radio appears to be directly answering the questions she puts to it.
- Theme Tune Roll Call
Have we left anyone out?
Oh yeah, don't forget Taz.
- This Is My Side: In "Unhappy Together", an argument between the Platypus Brothers ends with them cutting their house in half.
- Tongue on the Flagpole: Taz gets his tongue stuck to frozen dinner in "Take All of Me". Wendal's attempts to free him do not go well.
- Too Clever by Half: Digeri Dingo.
- Too Dumb to Fool: Taz may be noisy, short-tempered, impatient and always hungry, but he manages to wear out most people's attempts to trap him, and has outwitted Bull and Axl, and Wendall, on several occasions.
- He also outwitted Digeri Dingo in some time like in "A Dingo's Guide to Magic". Although we can say that had involuntarily.
- Trademark Favorite Food: For Hugh, it's "a tall, cool glass of OJ". ("Yay.")
- Tree Buchet: Francis X. Bushlad attempts to use one to catch Taz. You can probably guess how well it worked...
- The Unintelligible: Taz
- Wafer-Thin Mint: In the first appearance of the Kiwi, Taz and Buddy Boar end up tied to a tree dangling over the edge of a cliff. The Kiwi returns Buddy's lucky coin, which it had stolen earlier, and the extra weight is enough to cause the tree to snap.
- Weaponized Car: In one of the "Road to Taz-Mania..." episodes, enemy agents turn the family mini-van into a weaponized spy car after Hugh, Drew and Taz are mistaken for fellow spies.
- Weirdness Censor: The wild life documentary host that shows up in some episodes always thinks the animals are stupid and uncivilised even though they speak English, wear clothes and have mastered the use of modern technology.
- Though Taz does meet her criteria, somewhat, as she tends to focus on him.
- What Have We Ear?: "The Dingo's Guide to Magic"
- Who Writes This Crap?: Francis X. Bushlad gets an epic one in one episode, berating the writers for the All Just a Dream ending and pointing out the unfired Chekhov's Gun of the 16 ton weight that had been dangling over the characters' heads for most the episode. This proves unwise.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: "Taz hate water! TAZ HATE WATER!"
- "Taz hate bath!"
- William Telling: According to "Unhappy Together", 'William Tell' is a favourite game of the Platypus Brothers and Daniel gets quite upset when he thinks Timothy is playing it with Taz.

I am very excited to share my review of Start and Run a Successful Web Design Business from Home instructed by Christine Maisel on Udemy platform. I wanted to write a review of this course along with the other courses that I have completed at Udemy, but I was rushed. However, I have managed time to put a review on Start and Run a Successful Web Design Business from Home. So, let's get started.
Here I give my personal opinions on this review, what I have learned throughout the course and how you can get benefit by doing this course as well.
I realized that starting a web design business and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) consultancy can be tremendously beneficial to increase my income stream and establish a part-time business online while doing a full-time job.
Somehow, I found that it was a swift and straightforward way to make money online. It wasn't that much difficult. So, I have decided to do it.
Initially, I was too much confused from where to start and how to start. What tools I need to start web design business and how much money I need to start an online business? After all, I'm not a tech background person, and I don't know how to code and use a content management system.
Therefore, I have started looking for online resources to start a business that is cheap and easy to use and don't required any coding knowledge to make a website.
Finally, I found her first Udemy's course on May 16, 2016. However, I have enrolled the course and got the basic idea that made sense to me. My target was to learn first and then apply it to my business website, and it worked awesomely! I have completed three courses of the same instructor, Christine Maisel.

Commemorating Ken Saro-Wiwa
Sr Majella McCarron and Firoze Manji
Each year, Maynooth University Library holds a seminar to commemorate the life of Nigerian author and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. Last week's seminar, was followed by the launch of the second edition of Silence Would Be Treason: Last Writings of Ken Saro-Wiwa.
Sr Majella McCarron (OLA) exchanged letters with Ken Saro-Wiwa during his incarceration and the time leading up to his execution. She donated these letters to Maynooth University Library and "Silence Would Be Treason" is the edited version of this correspondence. It is these letters and poems, that stand today as a testament of hope, and ensure that Ken Saro-Wiwa's voice is not silenced, not even in death.
"The efforts of Sr Majella McCarron and Maynooth University Library with Ken Saro-Wiwa's archive is an inspiring act," stated Firoze Manji, director of the publishers, Daraja Press, and former Africa director for Amnesty International, at the launch of the second edition last week. He went on to present a gripping lecture titled "The centrality of culture in the struggle for a new world: Amilcar Cabral and Ken Saro-Wiwa."
At the event, Sr Majella spoke about her memories of the Ogani struggle and the time immediately after she received the news of Ken Saro-Wiwa's execution. She went on to introduce Eddie Mitchel who shared briefly about a similar environmental struggle that has recently taken place in Leitrim, Ireland.
Sr Majella then presented a Samsung Galaxy tablet to Conor Walsh, 1st Prize Winner of the Ken Saro-Wiwa School's poetry competition.

Ok, alright, we didn't go into the caverns. First we went on a scavenger hunt inside of the Discovery Center. The kids all learned a lot about different formations that are routinely found in caves and caverns. They learned about bats and large sloths, and other animals! We made it half way through our hunt when the little guy decided he was done, so we set out on a 2.5 mole hike around the caverns. It was so much fun!!! The trail was rated easy, moderate and extreme. It really wasn't that bad! Even #4 who is 4 walked the entire way herself!
Here are some of the sites!
The funniest thing???
The prettiest view???

To steal Phonica Records description: "Dorisburg – Venom burrows deep into an underground cavern, bass pulses dripping like stalactites into endless black pools of atmosphere".
Dorisburg first came to our attention via his debut LP Irrbloss via John Talabot's 'Hivern Discs'. It was a cracking record with cuts Kassiopeia and Gloson perhaps mostly closely resembling this latest outing. As the Phonica description suggests Venom is dark, brooding and most decidedly birthed in the Techno underworld. Whilst the flip 'Serum', although slightly less shadowy, is not exactly the light antidote as its name suggests.
Dorisburg – Venom is available to pre-order now and on the strength of this record and his debut LP alone he's an artist that is most certainly at the top of his game.
Rating 4.0/5

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Problems are mounting in downtown Baltimore after a water main break and underground collapse earlier this week.
City officials said light rail service from Camden Yards to North Avenue could be disrupted for "weeks."
The Department of Public Works said crews will be busy creating a bypass for a damaged 36-inch storm drain ahead of expected rain Thursday to avoid flooding.
- Water Main Break Continues To Impact Downtown Traffic, Light Rail Services
- Baltimore Weather | Water Main Breaks Near M&T Bank Stadium, Flood CSX Tracks
- Crews Rescue Baltimore DOT Employee Trapped In Manhole Downtown
A portion of a light rail platform on Howard Street near the intersection with Pratt Street collapsed Tuesday night.
WJZ was on the scene as workers used a crane and other equipment to dig debris out of the sinkhole.
The problems started Monday when a decades-old 12-inch water main broke, flooding the area.
A Department of Transportation worker became trapped underground while trying to turn off electricity. He remains in the hospital. WJZ has learned that his name is Troy Cook.
Cook was admitted into the ICU after the incident. He is out of the ICU now but remains at Shock Trauma.
"We continue to think about him and his family." said public works department spokesman Jeffrey Raymond.
The flood also caused a CSX train to derail. Early Wednesday morning, CSX was able to remove that train and is now running trains through the Howard Street tunnel at slower speeds of 5 to 10 miles an hour, according to city officials.
Now, work to stabilize the ground is underway so repairs can be made.
Officials declined to comment on the cost of the repairs.
Officials believe they can reopen Pratt Street by Friday to vehicle traffic. But it could take weeks for the MTA Light Rail to reopen. At this time, there's no exact timeline.
DPW Director Rudy Chow said they are working on restoring the area first and making it safe before they proceed to make actual repairs.
Crews will be busy creating a bypass for a damaged 36-inch storm drain ahead of expected rain Thursday to avoid flooding, DPW officials said.
Light RailLink service continues to be temporarily suspended between North Avenue and Camden Yards stations.
DPW engineers and inspectors are working with CSX, BGE and others to make sure the area is safe for workers to begin repairs. They are also making sure other tunnels, water and sewer lines and electric lines have not been compromised.

Members of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) recently completed a two-week course entitled "The Work of Leadership: Project Management for Development for the Philippine Air Force". This was a three-way partnership between the PAF, the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Zuellig School of Development Management Development Education Program (ZSDM-DEP), and TeaM Energy Center (AIMTEC) for Bridging Leadership (BL).
The "Champions of the Air Force" are comprised of 34 of the organization's brightest and finest leaders. They come from various departments and stations across the country. The main goal of the course is for them to help plan, implement, and take ownership of specific Strategic Initiatives, which are included in their Plan Velocity, towards a more capable and credible Air Force responsive to National Security and development.
"This is a first for the Philippine Air Force, and I think that by equipping our Champions, the best of the best, we will achieve our goal of Developing the Future of the Philippine Air Force Today. I'm thankful to our Commanding General, LTGEN GALILEO GERALD R KINTANAR JR. AFP, who is also an AIM Alum, and to the PAF leadership for their continuous support", said COLONEL RONIE D PETINGLAY PAF GSC, Chief of the Air Force Strategy Management Office.
Our ZSDM School Head, Prof. Kenneth Hartigan-Go said that he is delighted with the new partnership with the PAF. According to him, "We are very passionate towards Development, because as a School for Development Management, we have a great responsibility to our country to develop our people, and what better way to do it than to help equip the "Guardians of our Precious Skies", quoting LTGEN KINTANAR, with necessary management tools and techniques.".
The course was intended to help the members of the Air Force understand various project management tools and for them to have a broader view of leadership, management, and decision-making. Also involved in the success of this program were Program Director Prof. Raul P. Rodriguez, Prof. Manny de Vera and Prof. Nieves Confesor of TeaM Energy, and our esteemed Professors: Federico Macaranas, Antonio Ma. Perez, Matthew Escobido, Dynah Basuil, Ma. Carmen Testa, Jacinto Gavino, Maria Elena Herrera, Rajesh Nair, Maria Eulalia Herrera, Rene Domingo, and Ronald Chua. Resource speakers Col. Benjie Hao and Ms. Joselle Feliciano were also part of the two weeks.
The Graduation ceremony was held at the Asian Institute of Management Fuller Hall last October 9, where the Plan Velocity book was also launched. Present at the ceremony were LTGEN GALILEO GERALD R KINTANAR JR AFP, Commanding General of the PAF, Atty. Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro, Chairperson of the PAF Multi-Sector Governance Council, the rest of the leadership of the Air Force and across the Military, our very own President and Dean Jikyeong Kang, members of the faculty, and the TV-5 News team.
During the ceremony, President Jikyeong Kang challenged the Champions to have a "Call to Action" because the concepts they have learned in class will only come to life through their proper implementation and development. "LEAD, INSPIRE, TRANSFORM.", said President Jikyeong, to successfully implement one's learning, quoting the Institute's new slogan for its 50th Anniversary.
This is just one example of how the Asian Institute of Management can partner with you in developing and training your leaders. The AIM ZSDM Non-Degree Development Executive Programs are open both to organizations (Custom DEPs) and to all professionals (Public Offering DEPs).

5 Reasons For Toddler Tantrums, So You Can Prepare For The Chaos
If my time parenting two toddlers has taught me anything, it's that toddler tantrums are as unpredictable as the toddler themselves. Sometimes there's a calm before the inevitable storm that follows me denying a request for more ice cream. Other times, their meltdowns have a build up period that rivals a war scene from Braveheart — war paint and all. Although its impossible to truly avoid tantrums altogether, learning the reasons for toddler tantrums (looming, eminent, impending are all appropriate verbs as well,) can help save your sanity and your child's pent up energy for something more useful.
Granted, every toddler is different and "melt down triggers" will be different from one child to the next. My youngest daughter — the one who insists on thanking me for everything, from changing her diaper to lying her down at night — has meltdowns when she's overly tired. The word "no" is a warning to be heeded, and I rarely have problems with her listening. On the other hand, my older daughter is a force to be reckoned with. "No" is an encouragement to push further and tantrums happen on the regular, even with boundaries in place.
Although age and temperament play a huge role in how to handle your child's tantrums, knowing why they happen can help you prevent them altogether or at least know how to better handle them once the storm hits.
1. Your Kid Is Overtired
The Baby Sleep Site pointed out that temper tantrums from being overly tired are completely different than ones thrown out of frustration or anger. The site recommended that parents avoid them in the first place by ensuring your child has an age-appropriate bed time and the right amount of naps per day for their age.
2. They Want Something That They Can't Have
The classic "I want it but mom said no" scenario is probably the most common cause of a toddler melt down. It can be tempting to cave to your toddler's wishes when you know that a tantrum will follow the word "no," but instead of fearing the meltdown and caving to their wishes, Parents noted the importance of setting boundaries for your child's behavior and following through, regardless of a subsequent tantrum.
3. Their Nutrition Has Been Unbalanced
Did you know that your child's nutrition plays a strong role in their behavior? Baby Center noted that food additives have been linked to hyperactive behavior and temper tantrums in children. Although some artificial food dyes are banned in other countries, it's up to parents to limit their child's exposure. One study found that children given higher doses of foods with synthetic coloring worsened their behavior, while kids who had small amounts or none exhibited "normal" behavior for a child their age.
That's not to say that healthy nutrition will stop all tantrums from happening in the first place, but there is something to be said about avoiding them (and realizing that they may happen more frequently) after your kiddo eats their favorite (artificially flavored) snack.
4. They're Unable To Accomplish Something On Their Own
Kids feel frustration just as strongly as adults do, although they aren't equipped with the mental maturity to know how to handle it other than by melting down. Dr. Sears noted that when your toddler is unable to accomplish something on their own, frustration is their natural response and if not helped, a tantrum will usually follow. Instead of discipline, these types of tantrums require empathy and help from the parent, the article stated.
5. You Looked At Them Wrong
In all seriousness, toddlers are unpredictable and what sets one child off on a tantrum might be totally fine for another. Their moods change from moment to moment, so knowing your child's routine and temperament, as well as making sure they get enough rest and proper nutrition can help avoid tantrums in the future.
