Have you ever really let loose and found extreme freedom in a church service? Have you found it hard to express yourself in a corporate setting? If so, then you're in the right place. In this workshop, you will learn how to not take yourself so seriously. Begin the process of exploring movement to remember how free you were as a child and discover where along the way you were told to «grow up». Using your imagination to generate movement is an extraordinary way to worship our Papa God. It's such a gift. While taking this workshop you will learn in practical ways how to reactivate your imagination as a tool to access His presence.
Before we can release what we carry we have to know what it is we are holding. This workshop will focus on what God is saying over you before we start asking what's happening in the room. We will go on encounters that I believe will ignite an expression of freedom, originating from a deeply intimate place within you.
Everyone is welcome, age and fitness are not important. Please bring comfortable clothes that you can easily move in. Socks are recommended. Feel free to bring any flags or pieces of cloth for expression. Please bring a personal item that reminds you of a memory from childhood.

Turns Out, No One Is Really Out Of Your League
Anyone who's ever watched a John Hughes movie (or, hell, even "Mean Girls") understands the concept of being out of one's so-called league — that is, that someone is too hot, too popular, or both for you. And while it seems like a very middle-school idea — you know, girl pines for adorable quarterback or nerdy dude dreams about gorgeous girl — it persists into adulthood. Well, it did, anyway.
But there's good news on the horizon, since this kind of ranking is a trash thought and indicative of society's emphasis on physical appearance and social status: No one is out of your league anymore. A paper recently published in the journal Science Advances discovered that online daters tend to message people up to 25 percent more desirable than themselves, with desirability measured by a combination of how many initial messages one receives and the perceived desirability of people sending the messages. The results show that in online dating, at least, there are no (or at least fewer) real "leagues" to speak of.
The ease of putting yourself out there on a dating app is just one reason for that. Instead of having to work up the nerve to go up to the Noah Centineo look-alike at the bar or to ask your friend if she could put you in touch with her cute coworker, all you have to do is like a guy on Tinder and, in some cases, send a quick message.
"Online dating context might make people seem more approachable," says Robin Edelstein, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan and the director of its Personality, Relationships, and Hormones Lab. "It's easier to act." But she thinks the bigger advantage is that online dating simply gives you more available people to choose from. "My guess is that in the real world, people may still desire more attractive partners but may have fewer opportunities to seek them out," she adds.
We kind of delude ourselves into thinking what we're on the same level as those online matches who meet our laundry lists of must-haves.
On top of that, there's also a low barrier to entry with most dating apps. All you need is a smartphone, two thumbs, and enough data for a successful download. "Unlike real life, where you can't go asking everyone out on a date, you can on a dating site," says Viren Swami, Ph.D., a professor of social psychology at Anglia Ruskin University in the U.K. and author of "Attraction Explained: The Science of How We Form Relationships." No response? No problem — it's not like you were shut down in public. Because of the nature of online dating, everyone is fair game, and there's little to lose when you're pursuing bona fide hotties online.
On top of that, there's no limit to potential suitors. "Dating apps have given us access to a seeming infinity of possible matches," says psychologist Robert Burriss, Ph.D., a research fellow at Basel University in Switzerland. "A long shopping list of must-haves in a partner will be tempting when the choice offered is so vast." That wouldn't be an issue, except that humans tend to think that we're more attractive than we actually are. "Both men and women exhibit what psychologists call 'illusory superiority,'" Burriss says. "In other words, we like to think we're above average on most positive traits — that we're smarter, kinder, and more popular than we really are." As a result, we kind of delude ourselves into thinking what we're on the same level as those online matches who meet our laundry lists of must-haves.
Not only do people have more choices online than elsewhere, but a recent Tinder survey found that 72 percent of online daters are more open-minded about who they date when using dating sites and apps. It's yet another reason that the lines between different "leagues" have been blurred. More than ever, beauty is in the eye of the beholder — and what some people deem attractive might not be what you consider attractive, in the same way that your sister thinks her husband is hot but you think he looks like a glorified potato. "If we all agreed on who or what is desirable, that would suggest that individuals will end up with those who match their own level of desirability — as in, the most desirable people pair off first," says psychologist Lucy Hunt, Ph.D., a member of the Arriagnew Relationships and Close Connections Lab. "However, this assumes that people agree on others' desirability."
But we don't, which is why Swami is wary of the findings from the aforementioned paper, particularly its measure of desirability. It's more that personal preferences are just that — personal. "Desirability is not a static quality," he explains. The study, he says, discounts a lot of other factors that do determine desirability and only come through over time and through social interaction.
That's partly because we don't always know what we want. "Although we do see evidence that people agree on what traits they hypothetically deem desirable in romantic partners — such as physical attractiveness, intelligence, and trustworthiness — what people say they want in an ideal partner often doesn't match who they actually choose in real-life, face-to-face scenarios," says Hunt. That's why when you fall for someone, many preconceived notions of what you want in a partner — wavy hair, ability to play guitar, whatever — fall by the wayside.
While you might initially react to those qualities online, they don't tell you anything about how desirable a person is in the real world. "With online dating, desirability is skewed heavily toward physical appearance," says Swami. "The problem is that physical attraction is a dynamic quality. It doesn't mean they'll be physically attractive in every social interaction." Eventually, you'll have to log offline and meet in real life — like, oh, on a date. And that can make your wavy-haired, guitar-playing boo look more like a) Prince Charming or b) a total ogre.
Desirability is not a static quality.
"How a person treats the staff at a restaurant, how a person responds to traffic delays, how engaging a person is at a party — things like this do not usually come through until you meet that person face-to-face," says Hunt. Given that, "it doesn't hurt to aim a little higher in terms of what is conventionally attractive," she adds. After all, no harm, no foul. So, sure, you can go ahead and like the guy on Tinder with killer arms all day long. But no matter what "league" you think he's in, only spending time with him IRL will reveal whether he's actually a catch.
Now that dating apps give us access to more potential partners than ever before, as well as the license to ask out someone you perceive as more attractive than you (whether or not that's actually the case), the concept of someone being out of your league is irrelevant. It also places all of the importance on those characteristics that, sooner or later, become secondary to other traits. That's why no matter how hot someone seems on a dating app, it's worth moving the conversation offline sooner. Only then will you get more data and context to measure just how desirable they are to you. ("To you" being the key words there.)
"I believe that the advantage lies not in finding a broadly desirable partner, but in finding someone whom you as an individual find uniquely desirable," says Hunt. The better you know someone, the more likely you'll covet them — or not.

Nice hearty muffins
Mar 2, 2011
These are some of the most delicious muffins we make at home: even the kids love them. Slightly sweet and an enjoyable cruchy top. They don't last long!
Jul 18, 2008
These seemed a little dry. Next time I think I would add a little more oil. I did make a crumb topping which I put on them before I baked them.

Apart from visiting all the current Beer Guide entries, I'd like to be able to place on the map any UK village you care to mention.
I'd never heard of Humshaugh. Sounds northern though, doesn't it ?
It's very smart, the sort of village that Essex hides away from the world but Surrey sticks in the pages of Country Life.
Lacks a little in street art, unless you count the empties this chap left out.
A little Wiki research reveals that not only is Humshaugh on the course of Hadrian's Wall, but it's also famed as the venue for the first official Scout Camp, and the home of the bloke who wrote "Little Donkey". Quite how I failed to get a post title out of that lot I'll never know.
Anyway, The Crown Inn. Imposing rather than gorgeous, perhaps.
But it's the inside that counts, and this is an unpretentious village pub (lunch specials for a tenner) and a buzz of post-pudding chat.
The Landlord was particularly cheery. I did my usual "Which one is selling fastest" and got the less usual "They're all going well today". So I had the Tyneside Blonde.
This was my last beer before we entered Scotland, and I made it a pint. I knew Mrs RM would be happy to make frequent comfort breaks along the A68.
I took my pint to admire the model cars in the games room.
The Landlord's son was playing remote control cars with his mate. Goodness know what BRAPA would make of all this; I thought it was charming.
Even in the Gents, there was no escape from motors.
Looking at that now, I can't decide which way up the photo should be (75 points).
There's a theme here. Look at their Facebook page and see lots of classic car themed events, as well as the more sensible "Leeks and Onion competition".
As a break from the cars, there were Dinosaur Top Trumps on the bar top. In London, they'd serve your lunch off them, here they were just random.
Anyway, the beer was wonderful (NBSS 4+). I told the nice man it was cool and tasty. Apparently some CAMRA folk think it's too cold (12 deg C at a guess).
As CAMRA enters another round of soul-searching, can I assure the Plough that serving its beers cellar cool is the only way to go. Warm beer is strictly for the Smoke.

Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Hey guys,
I am setting out to build my first polespear.
I live in China, have an affinity for carbon fiber and have a few guys who can help with the steel parts but the first question has to with the dimensions of the CF tubes.
Wall Thickness
I have read most, if not all, polespear posts here and it seems an outer diameter of about 15-16mm (app. 5/8'') is suitable when using carbon fiber. But what about the wall thickness?
I can buy CF tube with 1mm (0.04''), 1.5mm (0.06'') or 2mm (0.08'') wall thicknesses. I am leaning towards 1.5mm (0.06'') or 2mm (0.08''). Any advice here?
I wont hunt huge pelagics but think more of this spear as a fast one with nice range.
I will make this a three-piece spear as I would like it to pack down and not be longer than a set of freedive fins. So, each section will be around 3.5 feet long. So, I will get total of 10.5 feet plus the pointy end which adds another 1-1.5 feet making the spear a total of 11.5-12 feet.
If I take out the middle part and mount shorted bands I will get a spear 3 feet shorter at 8-8.5''. My idea is that it would cover reef and blue water nicely this way?
I know I will have to make a fiberglass barrier on the CF tube before bonding the stainless steel parts, but I am cool with that. I have thin glass and loads of epoxy resin.
I am considering bonding the parts on the inside instead of sleeving them over the outside. This is likely less strong in carbon fiber but maybe I will wrap a bit of unidirectional CF over the outside to help with potential splitting.
I know I am asking a lot, but can any of you possibly share a simple and foul-proof design of the connectors? In terms of thread size and such. Totally OK if you don't feel like it:-)
I'll probably have it machined in 316SS, maybe even - depending on whether I can get someone here to digitize my drawings - have it CNC lathed.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
A couple questions that I ask myself before I build any spear are "what (species) do I want to hunt?", "what kind of visibility would I be expecting when I hunt these fish?", "Do I want to take large big game fish or small fish?". Asking these kinds of questions will help you decide on materials and the way you'd like to build your spear.
A spear that I recently had the chance to feel was made with "T700 CF" and was very stiff, and was sold in lengths up to 8ft, but was designed to take Hawaiian reef fish, not big Ulua (giant trevally). The spear featured anodized aluminum joints.
That being said there is a japanese blog post by osakanatuki Kansai where he discusses his polespear used for all game in Okinawa. Osakanatuki blog jp

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
All good questions, Ren.
Not 100% sure what I will be seeing in terms of species but most likely medium sized reef fish and small to medium pelagics.
I know, already there, there might be an issue as a free-swimming jack and a holed-up grouper will treat the spear differently. But I would think I would be shooting more at free-swimming fish.
They will often be a bit skittish in the waters I mostly go to, so that's why I am thinking fast and longer range.
I have CF tube for my pneumatic guns and they are only 1.25mm in wall thickness so I think that 1.5mm - 2mm will be strong enough for most fish.
But I am more worried about the front section. I see the Japanese spearos take both groupers and amberjacks on their long, skinny CF spears and I am beginning to think a lot of it has to do with how flexible the spear actually is. So, making the spear too stiff and not able to flex might actually be a bad thing.
I might have to look into a more flexible front end. We will see. I think I will just go ahead and order some tubes very soon;-)
The T700 spear you are referring to must be the Evolve one. I came across their site the other day. Looks cool. Red and black was always a great color combo seen in many other industries though Gatku may feel it's a bit close for comfort.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Determining wall thickness on that comparison might lead to bad assumptions.
Figure out what type of force / moment loading you want to be able to handle, and some basic calculations will put you in the right spot.
I had a mechanical engineer buy some tip parts the other day for his DIY build, he did a "gut feel" for what he needed for CF. The vendor sold connector too that were really low in cost.
Anyway, It broke and he's back to drawing board with a sharp pencil and big chief notebook now.
You have graphite rods out there too, some get them mixed up with CF.
Read the specification details, your design will be much better.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Yes, I forgot to say that, of course, the pneumatic tubes are much larger in OD (40mm) so that makes them much stronger already.
On the topic of gut feel, I would think the vast majority, if not all, of polespear designs are based on that plus practical experimentation, no?
I mean, do you, Aaron or the Gatku boys run your designs through computers...?;-). And even if you did, how do you tell the computer where a particular rock will jam your spear and what about the force the grouper in the hole is putting on the spear?;-).
Seems like the only thing wrong with your customer's gut feel was that it was not based on much practical experience with polespears? Neither is mine which is why I tried looking into common dimensions and posted the question here:-)
I am not an engineer (sometimes, I wish I was) but honestly you don't get spec sheets with these Chinese tubes. Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to trust them. The manufacturers say they are the equivalent of T300, though. And they say it is 100% CF, but who knows. Who knows if they post-cured the tubes correctly, who knows if the resin content was correct, etc. Also, as I joked about above, we have little idea of the forces that any spear will encounter so again I wouldn't be able to do much math on it, even if I wanted to.
So, this will be a hands-on, trial and error kind of approach.
I have read about people using 1.15mm wall thickness, so if I go to 1.5mm or even 2mm I would feel OK.
Also, the Japanese spear I borrowed on a trip there used tapered golf club shafts for the front and back section and this is a very common design in Japan for both small and big fish.
I've spent a few hours reading about golf shafts and they are extremely light at about 50-80grams for about 40'', so they must have very thin walls. I suspect their thinking is that it is better to have the front flex than break.
I just tried to run some numbers on the density of a CF laminate and an average diameter of a tapered golf club shaft and according to this rude method, the shafts are between 0.8-1.2mm in wall thickness.
Btw, the shafts are about 0.355'' at the tip and 0.6'' at the handle/butt end.
Anyways, I will just have to "dive" into it. Order some tubes and see where it takes me. If it catches fish, great. If it breaks, I had an adventure making it.
I am thinking of running a "safety lanyard" of dyneema inside each tube tied to the metal connectors on each end of the tube. So, in case of a busted tube, I should still be able to recover the fish and front part of the spear.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
All you need is basic algebra, high school level beginner physics. Nothing fancy. U-tube has so much info on topic, you can watch a few and get tutored up in no time.
If a vendor doesn't provide basic specifications, you might not want to use it. One design trick is to assume it can only handle 1/2 of what it says. Figure out your weak spot and make sure that is beefed up.
Industrial engineering design has a lot to do with assuming and down scaling. Knowing what is important to focus on, is what separates the men from the boys. That typically comes with failures and having good mentors that had their failures.
If you want to minimize the stresses on your DIY pole, try a break-away Slip tip. After the shot, your pole can't get trashed, it's mathematically out of the equation.... lol

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
All good thoughts and sorry for poking a bit at you in my previous post, it was all in good spirit. I am very full of respect for the work and craftmanship you bring to the world.
Settled, I will go for 2mm tubes, that is almost two times up from some others:-)
I might go for a golf club front section as an experiment. I will, likely, still make a regular front section as a backup.
I will def go for slip-tips. I was saving that for a later post, though. Even in Japan where they sometimes bang the spears into rock, they still use slip-tips.
It is a bit of a hassle having pointy things shipped into China. They are not too fond of that stuff, so I have to figure out if I risk ordering from overseas or try to design something myself and have it made here. But that's for a little later:-)
Thanks again!

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
This can be seen in the wide variety of products.
I don't run my designs through a computer, perhaps the others do , but I would guess not. FEA Software is spendy and not in my budget.
I have had access to it with an operator but it was for projects of high value.
Before that fancy software was available, what did engineers do?
Basic physics is the same, and one works from that. Paper, pencil and slide rule. Look at the designs in Ancient Rome and Greece. And the Great Wall in your Area.
As for Grouper location and loading, you got to keep it simple. you have to reduce the problem down to make it easier. If loading along the length was a concern, Do the problem with load at x position, then redo it as x+1. etc. You can look at those to get a gut feel of load per length.
A "Gut Feel" can be gained through numbers along with testing when it's cost effective.
I do have various force gauges that I use to help with that feel for material strengths and verifying my slide ruler is working correctly.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Golf club (driver) tubes will work, as well as ski poles. My first polespear was made by epoxying 3-4 golf clubs together and then epoxying a 6mm adapter to the tip. Took many fish under 10lbs with it, but ended up snapping it when I overpowered it without twisting the handle.
It was 9ft before a 12" tip, and was my go to for reef diving in 20+ft visibility.
I'm working on a series at the moment of different pole spear builds. Hopefully this helps you:

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Hey guys,
Not much of an update, the polespear project is on the back burner. Too much work and traveling lately and also had to move apartments.
But I have the CF tubes and then, pretty much by coincidence, I found myself in a small mall in Bangkok with a hefty golf shop presence. And in one of the shops, I just happened to find some affordable 'naked' shafts, so to speak...
So, I am slowly getting there. Will probably start drawing the connectors next, but that will take a little while. But basically just wanted to say that the project is not dead, just resting a bit;-)

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
So, I thought it would make more sense continuing here so this Jap styled spear and the thoughts behind it would be compiled in one place (I was beginning to hijack one of Ren's threads, so excuse me for a bit of C+P to get this thread up to speed).
My spear will be made up by three 5/8'' sections 4' long, then one tapered golf club shaft for the front section at 3' plus about 2' for the shaft and slip tip
So, in full regalia, I will be looking at a whopping 17' butt to tip! Yup, proper Jap style. It will, likely, only weigh in at about 2.2 pounds - so should fly fast.
This is actually the same length as a Japanese polespear I borrowed in Japan and the longest I have seen for sale there, too. I was actually going to make it three feet shorter, but then found the golf club shaft.
But with the sections I am using, and by switching bands, I can pretty easily take one of the straight sections out and make it a 13' spear still with the tapered front section, which would make it a tad more manoeuvrable and more in line with what I first envisioned.
If I will be more on the reef, perhaps it would make sense to not use the tapered, thinner golf club shaft at the front and instead go straight from the sturdier straight 4' sections (with an adapter) onto the shaft. With that setup, I can make it either a sturdier 10' or 14' spear. Mind you, it will never be a spear you'd want to shoot into caves or under ledges.
That said, I am considering running some dyneema between the metal couplers on each end of each section (well, at least the front one) so that if one of them snaps, I might still keep my fish and slip-tip.
I have seen some Japanese spearos going with single bands now and Aaron explained that it also helps with keeping the band parallel to the pole and thus reduce flex, so I will be trying that, too. I have some small ID Primeline in 13-14.5mm plus some Sigalsub small ID, too.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Metal Couplers/Connectors
Originally I had intended to make the couplers internal but I was worried that it might easier split the tube. Then I noticed that all the Japanese spears I saw online had them external with the CF tube sliding into the coupler before being glued in placed. So, I was about to change my idea and follow the Japanese on this one.
But then yesterday, I saw Billfish Republic and I think some of Aarons spears, too have the couplers internal... So, now I might go back to the original idea.
My CF tube is 12x16mm, which gives it a 2mm wall thickness. That it pretty sturdy I would think. I think the unidirectional fiber is wound with 30% across the axis of the pole and 70% along it. Would you guys dare going with internal on that?
If I do, I might still wrap a little UD fiber across the tube where the coupler is inserted.
The golf shaft front section would likely still need to be external on account of the smaller wall thickness and tapered front.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Draw a free body diagram and do some force and moment calculations.
Make some assumptions for an easier problem. (e.g. force distribution over a longer contact area)
I learned this stuff in high school. So math isn't that tough.
This will give you a feel for what to do, you are not looking to get numbers perfect within a moose hair.
This method can also be used to understand the rubber stretch and pole flexing to the side that is talked about in other thread.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Most external connections are there due to the manufacture using smaller diameter tubing or solid rod. This is more common with 3/8" rod. With rod, it would be mandatory with the design. I would make the connectors internal to streamline the spear.
You'll like the 0.079" wall thickness.
I made a 12' custom spear a couple months back that went to Japan and it was 0.050" wall and it broke just when the end user went to draw it up. I really dont like this style spear and dont understand why they just go shorter and improve their hunting technique.
I'll find the connectors Ive machined and take some pics and post to give you an idea on how to design them strong.

Re: Help Needed, DIY Jap Style Polespear
Thanks so much! I'd love to see a few snaps. I do like the idea of internal a lot. If I find the time and can switch parts of my brain on that haven't been used for a few decades I would like to try to the math, too as John suggests. Just for a loose guideline though I will have to make some assumptions about laminate strength and such. I do think making sure the tolerances are tight and the plug length generous, so that the force is spread out are part of the solution.
I back tracked a bit myself in my head the last two days, went over my notes and originally I was looking for something in between a long Japanese spear and a "western" one. I can see even from my first post here, that I was aiming for about 12 feet.
The time I dived in Japan with the 5.5m polespear, even though the tail end was tapered, too (mine is not), there was a lot of drag when tracking the spear. Going shorter will help reduce that.
I do think I would appreciate a long "over hang" though as in Thailand and the Philippines where I most often spear, the fish are pretty skittish.
As a side note, I am hoping to go to Okinawa at some point, too - would be great to take my own Japanese-inspired polespear to Japan:-)

The state's taxable retail sales reached $42.7 billion in the second quarter of 2018, which is an increase of 10.6 percent compared to the same time last year, according to the Washington State Department of Revenue.
The boost in taxable retail sales was due largely to a 17 percent uptick in construction and the sale of building materials. Taxes gleaned from retail sales include sales by retailers, the construction industry, manufacturing, and other sectors. Retail trade, which is a subset of taxable retail sales, includes the sale of clothing, furniture, and automobiles.
Other state taxable retail sales highlights from the April-June quarter include:
- New and used auto dealers increased 2 percent to $3.5 billion
- Electronic and appliance stores increased 11.8 percent to $1 billion
- Building materials increased 9.4 percent to $1.9 billion
- Drug and health store sales increased 6.8 percent to $780 million
Within the top most populated counties in Washington, King and Kitsap counties experienced the highest overall increase in taxable retail sales, with Kitsap increasing 15.1 percent and King increasing 12.5 percent.
Overall taxable retail sales in local counties:
- Pierce: 10.5 percent increase

FIRST has been set up by the university with support from the government's department of science and technology, with the goal of supporting entrepreneurs through research, training, consultancy and education.
"In recent years, 3D printing has gone from a cutting-edge novelty to a growing and popular industry for new startups," said Purohit. "Over the next six years, medical, aerospace and military applications are exhibiting promising growth in India's 3D printing market, owing to increased spending towards R&D of aerospace and military related equipment."
There will be two major centers for 3D printing at FIRST: the Innovation and Training Centre and the Rapid Prototyping Centre.
"The innovation and training centre is like an entry level for people to get exposed and carry out research and experimentation processes, while at rapid prototyping centre, we have more advanced and expensive machines," said FIRST CEO V Sridharan.
There will be two labs for the IoT side of things, as well, set up with a variety of sensors, modules, kits, signal generators, web nodes and transceivers.
"This setup has facilities for agriculture IoT, smart energy, smart grid, home automation, security, surveillance, health care, mobile IoT and so on," said Sridharan.
"In India, the IoT market is going to touch $15 billion by 2020, according to NASSCOM," added Purohit. "Fueled by a $1 billion investment from the Indian government every year for building 100 smart cities, the trade association also predicts that by 2020, India will account for nearly 5% of the global IoT market."
It's a momentous week for 3D printing in China, as well, as the country opens its first 3D bioprinting center.
The center is located at Zhongshan People's Hospital and will be used to study fields such as regenerative medicine and human tissue engineering. It was set up by Medprin Regenerative Medical Technologies Co. in partnership with the hospital and is the first 3D printing base in the country to integrate scientific research with clinical applications.Hospital Director Yuan Yong pointed to several of 3D printing's beneficial applications in medicine, from 3D printed medical models to bioprinted tissue. Although this is China's first bioprinting center, the country is no stranger to medical 3D printing, whether it's 3D printed implants or 3D printed organ models. China has been responsible for some major medical accomplishments with the help of 3D printing, and this new center should propel the country even further forward in the medical 3D printing sector as precision medicine and bioprinting are studied and practiced.
Zhongshan is hoping to become a medical hub, and the bioprinting center will certainly help. According to Deputy Mayor Yuan Yongkang, the government will support industrial development through the introduction of talent and integration of medical resources. Zhongshan is located in China's Guangdong province.

Search for Common Ground
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Search for Common Ground (or SFCG) is an international non-profit organization operating in 36 countries whose mission is "to transform the way the world deals with conflict away from adversarial approaches toward cooperative solutions".[2] It is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and Brussels, Belgium, with the majority of its 600 employees based in field offices around the world including in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Search brought together numerous conflicting groups to find ways to peacefully resolve issues using independent media programming, track II diplomacy, and traditional peace building tactics. John Marks, Search's founder and former president, received an award in 2006 from the Skoll Foundation for social entrepreneurship.[8] In 2008, Search for Common Ground was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Award for Public Diplomacy by the United States Department of State.[9]
Shamil Idriss became President and CEO in September 2014. Prior to taking on his role with Search, Shamil was the CEO for Soliya, and served as Executive Director of the Alliance of Civilizations Media Fund which merged with Soliya in 2009. In 2005, he was appointed by then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan as Deputy Director of the UN Alliance of Civilizations. He served on the Steering Committee of the World Economic Forum's Council of 100 Leaders and is a member of the World Economic Forum's Young Global Leaders and of the ASMA Society's Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow.[10]
Search was founded in 1982 by John Marks, a former United States Department of State diplomat. He knew that conflict turns into violence when people focus on their differences rather than on their commonalities, and wanted a new way of connecting people across these differences. When Search was founded, it focused on facilitating cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union.[citation needed]
The first project Search worked on was facilitating a U.S.‑Soviet task force on Lebanon. This task force developed a concept of a multilateral, regional approach to peace in the Middle East. Their idea was to bring together different ethnicities to create peace. This plan was later adopted, through Search's help with negotiations, to end the Israeli-Jordanian war.[11] Since its founding, the organization has expanded its work to 30 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe. Search's first office in the Middle East was established in 1991. The organization started working in Europe in 1994, in Africa in 1995, and in Asia in 2002. It employs around 600 staff who represent more than 40 nationalities.
This section does not cite any sources. (February 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Search has over 600 staff operating in 36 countries around the world. The staff represents more than 40 nationalities. Search works in:
- Africa – Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Tanzania, Zimbabwe
- Asia – Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Timor Leste (East Timor)
- Europe – Belgium, Macedonia, United Kingdom
- Middle East/Arab World – Jerusalem, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, Yemen
- Others – United States
To achieve its mission, Search manages projects that use innovative tools and work at different levels of society to promote cooperation and non-adversarial solutions to problems. Its "toolbox" includes media production—radio, TV, film, and print—as well as mediation and facilitation, training, community organizing, sports, drama, and music.
Search works in "peace media" focused on building ties between different groups. Their media programs span four continents and Search offers tools for the expansion of programs such as theirs. By focusing mostly on radio and television, they break down many of the traditional literacy barriers of print media.[12]
Common Ground Productions[edit]
An internal arm of Search is Common Ground Productions, or CG Productions. This arm is responsible for the media production of Search, including radio, television, and internet programming. Programming includes[13][13]
Radio for Peacebuilding Africa[edit]
Radio for Peacebuilding Africa was a program founded in 2003 that trained journalists in peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and acting on commonalities.
Studio Ijambo[edit]
Common Ground Productions helped create Burundi's independent radio studio, Studio Ijambo, in 1995, after fears that the Rwandan genocide of 1994 would spread to neighboring countries. A 2000 poll of listeners found that 82% of people in Burundi thought that Studio Ijambo "helped reconciliation a lot". The studio employs an ethically mixed staff of Hutus and Tutsis, who present an ethnically united front to an otherwise divided country.[14] Studio Ijambo has been credited with playing a key role in decentralizing the media in Burundi and building local capacity for news coverage.[14]
Radio soap operas[edit]
Next to the BBC, Search is the largest producer of radio soap operas in the world, and in countries like Sierra Leone—which recently emerged from a civil war—its programming is listened to by over 90% of the population that has access to a radio.[citation needed] The radio was the most important form of mass communication after the civil war in Sierra Leone because there were three functioning radio stations in the country.[15][full citation needed]
The Talking Drum Studios[edit]
The radio studios in Sierra Leone and Liberia not only promote peace, but also HIV/AIDS prevention. TDS-Liberia has released several public service announcements, created billboards and handed out T‑shirts and condoms at events.[16] They also provide children and youth with platforms for expression, through programs such as Sisi Lorpu and Golden Kids News.[citation needed]
Programming for CG Productions include:
Africa: The Search For Common Ground[edit]
It was produced in the late 1990s as a 13‑part series on the conflicts and struggles facing the African continent. It specifically highlights issues in 16 countries. The series, co‑produced by Ubuntu TV and Film Productions/Media Peace Centre and the South African Broadcast Corporation (SABC), was broadcast by TV and radio in English, French and Portuguese. The series has been broadcast in 22 countries in 40 local dialects, as well as the three languages it was produced in.
"The President" (Jerusalem)[edit]
In Jerusalem, Search for Common Ground and Ma'an Network produced a new reality television program called The President, designed to promote democratic values and political engagement among Palestinian youth. Aired in 2013, the first season of The President challenged young Palestinians to win votes and become the new, mock Palestinian "Youth President." Twenty-four contestants were filmed reacting to everything from a staged assassination attempt to an impromptu press conference. They debated a range of political and social issues regarding a future Palestinian state living side by side with Israel. Eight finalists became CEO for a day at major companies including Coca-Cola and Jibrini Dairy. The show's challenges expanded internationally when the four finalists became Palestinian Ambassadors to Russia, Turkey, Jordan, and Egypt. With a live audience in primetime, the show ended with the first ever televised Palestinian political debate between the two finalists moderated by a seasoned journalist. After, viewers picked up their mobiles and elected their new mock president via SMS. Approximately 170,000 SMS messages were calculated to "elect" the winner. Search's evaluations indicate that approximately 1 million Palestinian households watched the first season. Season 2 generated an even larger following.[17]
Nashe Maalo (Macedonia)[edit]
In Macedonia, a joint effort between the producers of Sesame Street[18] and CG Productions produced a children's show called Nashe Maalo (translation: Our Neighborhood). The show aired in the early 2000s, and it promoted mutual tolerance and respect between the different ethnic and religious groups in Macedonia.[19]
"Pahunch" (Nepal)[edit]
Pahunch is a reality show by Search for Common Ground Nepal, aired from September to December 2016.[20] The goal of the show is to increase mutual trust between the Nepali police and local communities. The reality show features eight contestants from all walks of life who, with the mentorship of Nepali police officers, solve fictional cases of homicide, burglary, domestic violence, human trafficking, and more, raising awareness of the daily challenges faced by law enforcement. Season 2 of Pahunch is currently in production.
"Madam President" (Middle East Region)[edit]
Madam President is a 13-episode drama, which started airing across the Middle East and North Africa in November 2015.[21] It is now available on Fcebook and Amazon Video. It tells the story of Noura Sa'ad, a politician from the fictional country of Jabalein, played by Lebanese star Carmen Lebbos. The drama showcases examples of female leadership and encourages political participation by women and youth.
"Madam Prime Minister" (Nepal)[edit]
Madam Prime Minister (Singha Durbar, "The Lion's Palace", in Nepali) is a 13-episode drama show which debuted in November, 2015.[22] The show tells the story of Aasha Singh, the fictional first female Prime Minister of Nepal, played by Nepali star Gauri Malla. Over the course of 13 episodes, Madam Prime Minister showcased examples of female leadership, positive gender roles, and democratic values. The show was funded by USAID and created by Search For Common Ground–Nepal, along with production partner Mila Productions.
The Team TV series[edit]
An ongoing project of CG Productions is The Team (L'Equipe). Using the popularity of football (called soccer in America), the show uses sports as a metaphor to unification while addressing local, deep-rooted conflict. The show follows specific characters on a football team who must learn to work together to overcome their differences and win the game. The show is specifically tailored to the country in which it airs.[23] Each country has different issues it faces, and the scripts represent these differences. The cast, writers and production crews are, whenever possible, all indigenous to the country. In the DRC, The Team deals specifically with women's rights.[citation needed]
Mobile cinema[edit]
In many countries in Africa, Search has introduced mobile cinema. These programs bring CG Production works into rural villages and expose more people to topics and discussion. In the DRC, Search has introduced mobile cinema dealing specifically with women's rights. Women in the DRC have been the victims of a brutal sexual assault war that has increased in intensity over the last few years.
According to UN estimates, close to "3,500 females were raped by soldiers, militiamen, and civilians during the first six months" of 2009, compared to 4,800 rapes for the whole of 2008. Search used Mobile Cinema in places like Kenya as a tool to broadcast The Team to a large audience who would otherwise not be exposed to it.[24]
Philanthropic influence[edit]
Members of the organization have worked for years to transform philanthropic decision-making processes by facilitating dialog between grant-makers and grantees. The process led to a youth program that bridges communities of wealth and social entrepreneurship. It also inspired a series of meetings at the United Nations on the idea of young philanthropy,[25] and the Nexus Global Youth Summit.
Partners in Humanity[edit]
The Partners in Humanity (PiH) program aims to allay feelings of fear and suspicion based on perceived and real injustices, stereotypes, and inequalities. The mission of Partners in Humanity is to change the way individuals think and feel about the issues, stereotypes and tensions that face Muslim-Western relations, which in turn will facilitate action.
The program started in 2003 at a meeting of over 60 international NGOs, media professionals, governmental agencies and international organizations. The meeting was held in Jordan, and was hosted by Search and His Royal Highness Prince Hassan bin Talal.
In addition to working with Search offices in the United States, Rabat, Jakarta, and Jerusalem, Partners in Humanity works with international organizations, including the World Economic Forum Council of 100, The Lebanese Center for Policy Studies, Soliya—The Connect Program, and The Institute for Interfaith Dialogue in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. PiH news
This program is supported by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office, The National Endowment for Democracy, His Royal Highness Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, Kingdom Holdings, the United States Institute of Peace, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The Compton Foundation and individual donors.[26]
Children and youth programs[edit]
Search's children and youth programs work directly with children in 26 programs in 14 countries aiming to transform children's roles in conflict into alternatives to violence.[27]
The United Nations recognizes that over 2 million children have been killed during war, 6 million children have been permanently disabled and over 250,000 child soldiers are still serving as soldiers, despite plans to release child soldiers in countries such as Burundi, the Central African Republic, Côte d'Ivoire, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[28]
The programs of Search Youth and Children include radio programming in all countries, news and journalism programs, mentoring programs between young girls and older women, Youth Parliaments, training youth as leaders in nonviolent projects, offering bilingual kindergartens to foster communication, training children and youth in nonviolent conflict resolution, and engaging youth in governmental creation.[27]
The Talking Drum Studios (radio) in Sierra Leone and Liberia provide children and youth with platforms for expression, through programs such as Sisi Lorpu and Golden Kids News.[16]

OyuTolgoi begins building foundations for US$1.2 Billion Concentrator
100,000 tonnes of copper-gold ore to be processed every day
Umnugobi, Mongolia – Oyu Tolgoi LLC announced today that it has commenced construction of its US$1.2 billion copper-gold concentrator. The concentrator is one of the most significant parts of the future Oyu Tolgoi mining process. It processes the mined copper ore to produce a concentrate which is then sold to customers for smelting and refining.
For every tonne of material mined out of the ground, about 18 kilos will containcopper metal. Once the material has been processed by the concentrator, each tonne of material could contain as much as 350 kilos of copper metal.
The construction of the concentrator is expected to be complete in 2013, when commercial production at Oyu Tolgoi is scheduled to commence. At its capacity, the concentrator will treat up to 100,000 tonnes of ore a day, producing 450,000 tonnes of concentrate a year. It will take at least 3,000 people to build it.
Mr. Keith Marshall, President and CEO of Oyu Tolgoi LLC stated: "Starting the concrete foundations, delivering the building materials and developing the infrastructure for the concentrator are the key activities planned for 2010. Once finished, the concentrator will be one of the best of its kind in the world. We are aiming to introduce and use only world class technology at Oyu Tolgoi and for Mongolia."
About Oyu Tolgoi LLC (www.ot.mn)

From the beginning, I made saving extra income a priority
As a young man, I served in the military. While I was deployed I received hazardous duty or combat pay. However, I didn't really need any income because the military covered all my basic expenses. That made 100% of my paycheck extra income. A lot of people around me were finding ways to spend that money even though there was not really a lot to buy. I decided that instead of spending just to spend I would take every dollar and roll it into a savings account. Listen to this episode to find how my investments from that time paid off.To gain #FinancialFreedom, saving #ExtraIncome needs to be a priority. Find out why on the #CashflowHackingPodcast. Click To Tweet
What I learned from starting my first business
After leaving the military I started my own carpet cleaning business. I didn't know a lot about how to run a business, but I knew I wanted to create multiple sources of income for myself. So, in addition to my carpet cleaning business I found a job as a cook and working nights at a convenience store to bring in extra income. Working these three very different jobs sometimes had me working 24 hours a day. However, it allowed me to see which of them produced the most income for my time invested. Listen now to save yourself the trouble of working 24 hours a day and learn from my experience.
Stumbling across one article changed my life
By 2008 I had tried many different strategies for creating extra income, but I had not really found a way to replace my income. I was working in construction to support my new wife and our four children. The economy took a turn for the worse and construction jobs all but disappeared. As a result, I was laid off. I came across an article that claimed I could make $1000 a month by running my own website. I decided to try it, and guess what, it worked! I found a part-time job to bring in extra income while my website got up and running. Soon, I was able to quit that part-time job because my website was generating enough money to support my family. I will share how that happened, as well as the exact article I read on this episode.What you need know about what I learned from starting my first #SmallBusiness. Find out on the #CashflowHackingPodcast Click To Tweet
Do not be afraid to take the risk
If there is one thing that I have learned from my cash flow journey it is to keep trying stuff and eventually something that works will turn up. I tried a lot of different things before I found the source of extra income that would eventually replace my income. It is important to keep looking for more opportunities and not be afraid to try them. There are going to be a lot of things that don't work, but when you listen to this episode you will learn how to keep those losses from crippling your cashflow circle. Listen now to learn how to get started generating extra income for yourself and what my cash flow journey looks like today.

What Are Public Liability Claims?
Accidents are an inevitable part of life, but sometimes they are preventable. In fact, if you suffer a serious injury on public property, the property owner may be liable for your injury and suffering. If you have recently suffered a personal injury on public property that was no fault of your own, then you may be eligible to file for a personal injury compensation known as a public liability claim.
At Dwyer Law Group, we believe that everybody should know their rights when it comes to public liability claims. That is why we have compiled some pertinent information to keep you informed.
Am I Eligible?
The Personal Injuries Proceedings Act of 2002 is the federal legislation that outlines the type of incidents that can precede a public liability claim.
The act states that accidents such as slipping and falling, poisoning, plane and boat accidents, faulty products, sporting incidents as well as private property accidents are worthy of public liability claims. However, it is not always necessary to file a public liability complaint if you have been injured in a public space. This is dependent on whether the suffering caused is ongoing and permanent.
If the injury was minor, temporary and in the past, you can only go through your insurance providers for compensation. The most advisable course of action is to visit a personal injury lawyer to see if you have a claim.
Important Factors in Public Liability Claims
Every legal evaluation of a potential compensation claim will centre on several different factors.
Firstly, it must be established that the injury is either ongoing or permanent. After this has been proven, you have to demonstrate that you will incur extra costs undergoing treatment, and explain how the injury will affect your ability to work in the same occupation as prior to the incident.
It is always advisable to record as much information as possible about the conditions of the space where the accident occurred. Taking up close photos of the scene and making an audio or visual recording of the scene can be invaluable when trying to claim compensation.
Public Liability on the Gold Coast
Dwyer Law Group is here to offer careful and prudent legal advice to anyone has suffered a public injury on the Gold Coast. Our legal team offers initial consultations to anyone looking to file a public liability claim but is unsure if they have a legitimate case. If your case does go ahead, we have a no win, no fee policy for our clients. Please bring relevant photos of the accident area, of your injuries and of anything else that you believe may be relevant.
Contact Dwyer Law Group today for an in-depth legal consultation on potential public liability claims.

Welcome to your spring issue of Squaremeal. I hope you've
noticed that we've had a bit of a spring clean and that you like
the magazine's boxfresh new look. Meg and Lauren, our very
talented design team, have done a brilliant job of creating
something that we feel really reflects the buzz and excitement
of everything to do with eating out in London.
But eating out isn't just confined to restaurants these days
and, in keeping with the fresh and new theme, we've profiled
the six stars of the street food scene who are most likely to make the leap from pop-up to
permanent (p.56). I'd urge you not to wait that long, though, and to check them out as
soon as you can. After all, there's nothing like saying you were the first in line for the latest
restaurant trend, and Filipino barbecue or ice-cream sandwiches might just be it.
Our BMW Best New Restaurant, Hoppers (p.33), is another new departure for us: it's
the first time this prestigious accolade has been awarded to a no-bookings restaurant. If
you'd never dream of queuing for your dinner, think again: they text you when your table is
available so you can go for a drink while you wait - and the food is well worth waiting for.
But we also appreciate that readers still have an appetite (and bonus) for luxury and
whether you're looking for London's most high-end restaurants and hotels to spend the
night in (p.52) - or the most high-end gyms that will stop you showing the effects of the
morning after (p.114) - you'll find them in this issue. As ever: happy eating!

There was a time, not so long ago, when a pop-up referred only to a type of book, and a van was something you hired when
moving. Now, a new movement has firmly cemented itself (or dragged its Airstream trailer into semi-permanent residency)
in the London food scene: street food. Places such as KERB, Druid Street Market, Street Feast and Hawker House have
become dining destinations that rival even the most hotly tipped bricks-and-mortar opening, and street food has become a
fertile training ground for the chefs of the future. First there was Pitt Cue and Meat Liquor, then came the 'Bao-ist' era, as the cult
steamed bun specialists proved it's possible to convert a cult market following into a dining establishment that's so popular it inspires
lines around the block come rain or shine. Wai Ting Chung, co-founder of Bao, says, "Having a stall allows you to test a concept and
is a cheaper and less risky way to get a business off the ground." There's also a sense that it suits the more interactive (read: informed
by social media) way in which we now eat. Get in early and earn some serious bragging rights by following these six vendors who we're
tipping as the restaurant stars of tomorrow.
Forget chef school and long stages in sweaty,
sweary kitchens. London's booming street food
movement is now the breeding ground for the
hottest restaurants around - and these guys
and girls are the ones to watch out for in 2016
squaremeal.co.uk | 115
ake a moment to imagine turning
up at a restaurant to find facilities
neglected, the staff inattentive and
the fare distinctly underwhelming.
Imagine then that you had no choice but to
pay full price; in fact, you already had, as
the restaurant had taken the money out of
your account beforehand. This, for years, is
how gyms have typically operated.
"The problem with the fitness industry
has been that in many instances it's been
serving 'inedible food' - until places like
1Rebel came along and disrupted the
market," says Giles Dean, co-founder of
the London-based boutique gym. Walk
into either of its two City locations and
you might mistake it for a hipster café, all
exposed concrete and organic smoothies.
If you can divert your attention from
the gleaming brushed-copper lockers, then
you might notice that the benches in the
changing room are heated, and that towels
are lavender-scented and stored in a Smeg
refrigerator. Spit and sawdust are most
certainly not on the menu.
Recent years have seen the proliferation
of budget gyms - the workout equivalent
of fast food: cheap, fulfilling a need, but
ultimately a little unsatisfying. However,
in contrast, there's also been an explosion
of 'haute cuisine' fitness.
Where once there was a morass of
similarly priced options around the £30
to £70 mark, monthly fees now range from
£15 to £300. "The mass-market, mid-tier
fitness clubs have sacrificed their brands
by trying to be all things to all people,"
says Dean. "This has polarised the market,
creating opportunities for brands at both

Someone who would know is Dean's
business partner, James Balfour, son of
the founder of Fitness First. Established
in 1992, the chain peaked at 500 clubs

despite our growing appetite for wellness.
According to data analysts Cardlytics,
UK spending on gym memberships actually
increased by 44% last year. But our tastes

demand many of the same things from
working out that we do from eating out:
quality, expertise, pleasing design and, of
course, good Instagram fodder.

Corona - chilled, just like your towel.
Your gym brand is thus an extension
of your personal one. "For most people,

the former CEO of Fitness First who left
in 2012 to found trendy spin brand Psycle,
with locations in W1 and Canary Wharf.
A revolution in the
fitness industry has
high-end gyms going
to great lengths to
keep their demanding,
customers coming
back for more
We now demand many of the
same things from working out as
we do from eating out: quality,
