Good morning, CIOs. Well, it happened. The WSJ CIO Network has come and gone, bringing together dozens of speakers and members for a day and a half of discussions about changing technology, digital business, diversity and security. And it would seem that the last several decades of digital disruption are the beginning of something even larger. "Over the course of 50 years we will completely reinvent society," said Vinod Khosla, who co-founded Sun Microsystems and later established Khosla Ventures. "In the next 20 years, technology will be about everything … making hamburgers, 3-D printing buildings … There will be opportunity." The CIO will be well positioned to capture that opportunity, according to Mr. Khosla. "I am very bullish on the role of the CIO. Technology is driving change and the CIO is best positioned to lead. No one else is qualified," he said. Automation will invert the supply chain, according to Mr. Khosla. "We won't manufacture in China. Robot labor will be $3 an hour and the supply chain will be three days, not six months," he said. "This will drive inequality. Capitalism will have to change ... Education will not solve it. Capitalism will have to adjust to democracy so people are not left behind."
Alexis Ohanian's VC firm invests in crypto trading platform. Initialized Capital, the venture-capital firm co-founded by Alexis Ohanian, has led a $2.1 million investment in a startup cryptocurrency trading platform, DDEX. "With blockchain technology evolving rapidly, the challenges facing decentralized exchanges are quickly fading away," Mr. Ohanian said in a statement. "DDEX now has the team, experience and resources to create a high functioning decentralized exchange at the perfect time." LEADERSHIP
Khosla finds success through failure (and so can CIOs). Not all of Vinod Khosla's venture bets have panned out. "Without taking a risk, you can't drive new things," he said. "You're going to be resigned to mediocrity."
Who's winning the next-gen chip race? How has China become such a formidable competitor? The answer: lots of venture capital and plenty of young, eager talent, including many entrepreneurs, said Winston Ma Wenyan, director of China Investment Corporation. So what does the US need to do to keep up? "Keep on trucking," said Daniel Goldin, founder and CEO of KnuEdge Inc. "To say we're going to sit and worry what China is doing and look at the money being spent is of no value in my mind."
Federal IT playing 'catch up' with private sector. The infrastructure and "plumbing" that underlies everything needs to get up to pace with the private sector, said Chris Liddell, assistant to the President and Director of the American Technology Council. The federal government still doesn't have cloud email in place at every agency, he said.
'Moon shot' projects aim to solve problems. Traditional infrastructure development is slow because it moves in a linear way, from feasibility studies, to regulatory compliance, to development and construction, said Rob Lloyd, CEO of Virgin Hyperloop One. The Hyperloop project has moved faster by emphasizing the problem it will solve, he said.
The new arms race. All major countries are probing each other's digital boundaries, said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure. "We spent the last 60 years in a nuclear arms race. We'll spend the next 60 years in a cyber arms race. "
What's it like to be married to Serena Williams? Here's Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian: "Amazing. It's really great. It's very humbling and awesome and I used to delude myself into thinking I was the hardest working person I knew."
Blockchain will reduce jobs. The cost of trust is evident in New York skyscrapers filled with accountants reconciling one company's records with another, said Michael Casey, senior advisor, digital currency initiative MIT Media Lab. Blockchain "resolves that challenge," he said.
AI adoption is like 'early days of cloud.' Giant tech firms are currently dominating the AI market, but companies can identify their data needs and what gives them a competitive advantage, said Box Inc. Aaron Levie. Like the early days of cloud computing, he added, many firms make the mistake that they believe they need to build out their own AI capabilities, including infrastructure, and that can cause delays in implementation.
Everything computes, says HPE CEO. In edge computing, the business advantage isn't any single thing, said Antonio Neri, president and chief executive of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. "Everything we do in our lives today computes. That's the reality."
The cost of quantum. Microsoft Corp. CTO Kevin Scott said we're still a few years out before IT chiefs are going to be building applications on quantum computers. "They are unbelievably expensive and difficult to maintain," Mr. Scott said. Maja Matarić, professor of computer science and vice dean for research, University of Southern California, said her group spends tens of thousands of dollars per month just to cool it, which most people aren't too happy about.
Hiring diversity to attract the best talent. Companies need to develop an environment that attracts the best and most diverse talent to compete. "You think about hiring the best people, and that means casting a wide net," said Joelle Emerson, found and CEO of Paradigm. "Investing in diversity now and having a strategy is going to be very important in the future," she said.
Firms need to commit to tech. Companies and their IT leaders need to be prepared to commit to technology and innovative capabilities to compete in today's market, said Ben Fried, chief information officer of Google Inc. "We have to think about an agile organization," said Vijay Gurbaxani, professor of computer science at the University of California, "and you have to be a leader." For complete coverage, see the WSJ CIO Network live blog.
The new ID theft: Millions of credit applicants who don't exist. Synthetic-identity fraud is one of the fastest growing forms of identity theft—and the hardest to spot and combat, the Journal's Peter Rudegeair and AnnaMaria Andriotis report. Scammers use phony names and unused Social Security numbers to secure debt, a crime that exposes a vulnerability in the U.S.'s credit-checking system. "It seemed too easy."
BlackBerry brings patent case against Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. BlackBerry Ltd. claimed in a lawsuit Tuesday that Facebook Inc. and its WhatsApp and Instagram units have infringed its patents and swiped intellectual property from its BlackBerry Messenger technology, the WSJ's David George-Cosh reports. In its 117-page court filing in U.S. federal court in Los Angeles, the company says the defendants "creating mobile messaging applications that co-opt BlackBerry's innovations."
S&P Global buys startup in artificial-intelligence push. S&P Global Inc. said it will buy technology startup Kensho Technologies—its second investment in the artificial intelligence space this year, the Journal's Gunjan Banerji reports. The deal is the latest sign of Wall Street embracing AI. Almost one-fifth of banks and financial services companies financed by Greenwich Associates have implemented AI into their businesses, according to an October report by the research firm.
China wants tech darlings to list at home. The Chinese government is considering plans that would allow shares in technology giants such as Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. to trade back home. The WSJ's Chao Deng and Liza Lin report that such a move that could raise the profile of the country's tightly controlled capital markets.
A pioneer in real estate blockchain emerges in Europe. Lantmäteriet, Sweden's nearly 400-year-old land mapping and registration authority is likely to become one of the first government organizations to test using blockchain for conducting property sales, the WSJ's Shefali Anand reports.
New tech centers sprout in Europe. Technology and related companies are fueling 20% of the office space demand in small capital cities like Lisbon, Vilnius in Lithuania and Tallin in Estonia, brokerage firms tell the WSJ's Shefali Anand. Leasing is equally strong in second-tier cities such as Barcelona, Edinburgh, and Krakow in Poland that are becoming popular in the tech industry for their lower rents and access to tech talent.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Widge, I know Day 4 is supposed to be something with 'Vs.' in the title, but…Cockneys vs. Zombies? Really?"
Really. Exhibit A: that's Alan Ford with a machine gun in the picture there. If you're thinking you recognize him, yes, he was in Lock, Stock and played the hardass antagonist in Snatch. He is a genius. Exhibit B: you will also recognize Richard Briers. Here, watch the trailer and then we'll check back here for glee:

That's right. Is there anything more glorious than handing automatic weapons to a bunch of pensioners? The entire thing seems hilariously wrong in the best way.
However, as is often the case with films of this nature, it's already opened across the pond and there's no release date stateside. We'll be lucky if it hits cinemas in a limited release, a la Attack the Block perhaps, but DVD might happen next year or something. Regardless, I need this. Bad.

This is likely my last post for 2016, so I thought I would exit the year with an exciting topic.
In scripture, there are four Greek words that translate into a single English word…power. Now this is with a caveat in that there are many derivatives of these words, each with its own uniqueness in how it applies to one's understanding of a particular verse. For the purposes of what I want to post here, though, I am limiting it to the four root words which are exousia, dunamis, kratos, and ischus.
Before I go any further, I want to say that there is so much depth to these four words and their application in the lives of Christians through the blood of Jesus and through His name. However, for this particular blog, I am going to attempt to limit the discussion just to the definitions and a few scriptures where each is found to supplement the definition. I will leave the in-depth discussions to subsequent blogs, but it is necessary to lay the groundwork first here before I do those.

Guide to Directors' Remuneration in Singapore
As the director of a company, you may wish to know more about how company directors can be remunerated. The Companies Act (CA) sheds some light on this matter. The Model Constitution will likely also be relevant if your company is using it as the company constitution without any modification.
What Constitutes Remuneration and Who Decides?
Remuneration can come in 2 forms, namely director's fees and salary. The type of remuneration received will affect the need for disclosure of the remuneration, the making of CPF contributions and also whether such payment will be subject to tax.
Director's Fees
Director's fees are fees to be paid to a director in their capacity as company director, for the directorial services they perform for the company.
Generally, directors do not have any right to be remunerated for the directorial services they perform for the company. However if a company wishes to pay director's fees to its directors, section 169 of the Companies Act states that this payment has to first be approved in a general meeting by a resolution unrelated to other matters. Any resolutions for the approval of director's fees which breach this section will be void (i.e. have no legal effect).
Director's fees will include:
- Allowances for expenses as far as such allowances are charged to income tax in Singapore
- Any benefits that the director has received in a form other than cash in respect of his directorial services (e.g. company cars)
If a company has adopted regulation 74 of the Model Constitution without modification, the director's fees payable to the company's directors will include all "travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred" as a result of attending meetings related to the company's business (e.g. directors' meetings and general meetings).
Apart from director's fees, a director can also obtain a salary as per their contract of service with the company, in their capacity as company employee.
Since this payment is made in respect of the director's capacity as company employee instead of their capacity as director, director's salaries need not be approved in a general meeting as per section 169 of the Companies Act. However, the amount of salary must still be approved by the board of directors beforehand.
Disclosure of Director's Remuneration in Company Reports
As salaries are considered company expenses, directors' salaries (if any) should be disclosed as part of the company's expenses in its annual report.
As for directors' fees, while there is no law stating that directors' fees must be disclosed, companies are nonetheless encouraged to disclose the amount of director's fees paid to each director in their annual reports as well.
CPF Contributions by the Company
Companies have to make CPF contributions only in respect of the salaries paid to directors who are considered employees engaged under a contract of service. Companies need not make CPF contributions on directors' fees.
Tax on Director's Remuneration
Director's salaries are taxable since such salaries are considered income derived from the director's employment.
Directors' fees are generally taxable as well, but this applies only if the director has rendered the requisite services for the accounting year concerned. Thus, if director's fees were decided in advance for the next upcoming year, such fee will not be taxable for the current particular accounting year but only in the next upcoming year.
However, director's fees will not be taxable in Singapore if the company does not have a presence in Singapore. This is even if the director had to attend board meetings or similar company-related meetings in Singapore. Rather, the fees will generally be taxable in the country where the company is resident instead.
Payment to Director Upon Leaving Office
Under section 168 of the Companies Act, companies are prohibited from making any payment of compensation to a director for their loss of office, unless the particulars of such proposed compensation (including the amount of such proposed compensation) have been disclosed and approved by the company members in general meeting.
However, approval by the company to compensate a director for their loss of office is not required if the following requirements in section 168(1A) of the Companies Act are both satisfied:
- The amount of compensation is less than the director's fees for the year preceding the termination of the director's employment; and
- Particulars of the proposed compensation (including the amount of the proposed compensation) had been disclosed upon or prior to the payment.
Unfair or Unjust Remuneration of Director Prior to Company's Winding Up
If a company is being wound up and its liquidators or creditors suspect that a director has been unfairly or unjustly remunerated (whether in director's fees or salary) during the 2 years before the start of winding up proceedings, the company's liquidators or creditors can apply to the court under section 341 of the Companies Act to compel the director to repay the money to the company (with or without interest).
Unfair or unjust remuneration may arise if it can be established that the director had, during their directorship, committed breaches of their director's duties or failed to account for any company monies or property.
The issue of director's remuneration can be a potentially sensitive one. If you need legal advice, feel free to get in touch with one of our corporate and commercial lawyers.

Of all your business KPIs, customer service can be one of the toughest to track. It's the sticky mixture of qualitative and quantitative data that can be challenging. And, given that the vast majority of customer service positions are taken up by junior members of staff, it can often lead to problems. However, there are several warning signs that your customer service is failing. And unless you stop the rot, your business could go downhill - fast. Watch out for the following signs and make sure you take action to avoid potential trouble.
The wrong ratios
One of the best ways to judge your customer service is to look at specific ratios in your overall performance. The first is the ratio between the number of leads you get and the number of sales you make. If you have a far higher lead rate, then your sales team is not doing their job properly - which could be a customer service issue. Similarly, if the ratio of your new customers is far higher than your repeat customers, there is clearly a retention problem.
You don't invest in training
Not everyone you hire is a customer service genius - people need direction. It's down to you to provide new employees with the skills they need to deal with clients and customers. If you aren't training your staff, you can guarantee there will be unhappy customers at some point in the future.
Too many blockages
Are your customers finding it difficult to get what they want when they want? There are a few things to look for depending on your business type. Online retailers, for example, should look at their shopping carts and try and work out why so many are being abandoned. Offline businesses should look out for repeatedly massive queues at the cash register. Perhaps more people taking money would help you get those numbers down? You might also benefit from investing in a mobile credit card reader for shop floor staff. The idea is to reduce those queues and speed up the time it takes for a customer to choose a purchase and pay for it.
Lots of escalations
If you are finding that you are fielding too many calls from irate clients needing to speak to a manager, your service levels are failing. Your customer service team should have the skills to deal with the vast majority of issues. Managers should not have to deal with any more than one in twenty complaints. Again, it's all down to making sure you train your staff so they have the tools to deal with people's problems.
You aren't seeing customer service as marketing
Finally, customer service is the ultimate marketing tool. It is expensive to find new customers, and far cheaper to keep old ones. But if you make a poor impression in any area, you will lose that customer - and many of their friends or relatives - for life. Make sure that you see customer service as your number one marketing channel, and you should see instant improvements.

Alama's Garden 2018 is a transversal project working to fight hunger on the one hand while promoting plastic bags and bottles in particular, recycling .
Alama's Garden 2018 welcomes children from slums or difficult suburbs , providing them a secured space in which they take part to activities to play, socialize, learn, and express themselves, allowing them to be in "reliance", in the sense defined by the French sociologist Marcel Bolle de Bal, learning to create or recreate links, to establish or re-establish a connection with their environment.
Alama's Garden 2018 program offers students the tools to imagine and create ways to heal themselves out of hunger while recycling and become catalysts for change for the environment inside their society and above inside the world

By Paul Dowling"I was only a spectator. The property was being taken away. So the . . . I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt." —George Soros, explaining why his participation in the taking away of Jewish property and the sending away of Jews to concentration camps never made him feel guilty"We have a special place picked out for GS. Really Special." —Q, in Q-drop 330, December 11, 2017, possibly suggesting future incarcerationThe Making of George Soros' True CharacterIn 1998, Steve Kroft conducted a 13 minute, 27 second, interview with George Soros (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSyczwuTQfo) on 60 Minutes that shines a light on Soros' true character, illustrating why so many Jews and Christians alike view Soros as a traitor to the Jews and to ethical monotheism—a "Kapo" (https://www.dictionary.com/browse/kapo) as it were:KROFT (6 mins, 57 secs, into the interview with SOROS): When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag; while hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.(Black and white film footage shows Jews walking in line.)KROFT: These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros' friends and neighbors.(Film footage shows Jews with bags draped over their shoulders walking next to a train. While Kroft is introducing this segment of the interview, moving pictures continue to show the herding of Jews into the boxcars of trains.)KROFT: You're a Hungarian Jew . . .SOROS: . . . Mm-hmm . . .KROFT: . . . who escaped the Holocaust . . .SOROS: . . . Mm-hmm . . .KROFT: . . . by posing as a Christian.SOROS: Right.KROFT: And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.(The flashes of film footage end here.)SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old; and I would say that that's when my character was made.KROFT: In what way?SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and anticipate events and when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean it was a very personal experience of evil.KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.SOROS: Yes, yes, yes.KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.SOROS: That's right. Yes.KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?SOROS: Not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't . . . you don't see the connection. But it was . . . it created no problem at all.KROFT: No feeling of guilt?SOROS: No.KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish, and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?SOROS: Well, of course I could be on the other side. I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was . . . well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets . . . that if I weren't there, of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would . . . would . . . would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the . . . whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator. The property was being taken away. So the . . . I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.KROFT: Are you religious?SOROS: No.KROFT: Do you believe in God?SOROS: No.(This segment of the interview ends after six and a half minutes, at the 13 mins, 27 secs, marker. This transcript was created and proofed by Paul Dowling, using the original interview between Kroft and Soros as its source material.)Soros Still Abets FascismJust like what Americans witnessed at Baltimore, where the police were told by a Democrat mayor to stand down and allow rioters free rein (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/07/baltimore-officials-admit-they-gave-police-stand-down-order-during-violent-riots/), Democrats continue to enable violence, all the while labeling any news reportage concerning Democrat-sponsored violence as "fake news," due to the so-called "fact-checking" of Soros-linked organizations. As Rush Limbaugh has pointed out (https://www.breitbart.com/milo/2017/02/03/milo-berkeley-rush-limbaugh/), "Any time there is violent protests, it's always left-wingers bought and paid for by the Hillary campaign, the Democrat Party, or George Soros, and never once have the Democrats ever condemned them, 'cause they're proud of them. They're proud of these anarchists. They're proud of the people who blow up bank buildings. They're proud of the people that start fires. They never blame them."There is also no denying Soros-backed Barack Obama's despicable pardon (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/19/obama-decision-to-free-faln-terror-group-leader-sparks-outrage.html) of violent terrorist and murderer Oscar López Rivera, the head of the FALN—Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (in English, the "Armed Forces of National Liberation")—whose goal it was to establish a free Puerto Rico, independent of the United States, by murderous means. López Rivera's group claimed responsibility for more than seventy bombings and is responsible for the homicides of at least five people and the serious injury of twelve others, whose relatives are—many of them—still living and find themselves nonplussed by Obama's decision; some of them were even Obama voters who were left feeling betrayed by him (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/obama-wrong-free-faln-member-killed-brother-article-1.2949815). Obama's pardon of this savage goes a long way to proving Limbaugh's point: Democrats are proud of violent anti-Americans; indeed, they condone and excuse them at every turn, even a Democrat President of the United States. But what can be expected of someone like Obama, who is a violence-approving spiritual scion of George Soros?It was not that long ago that President Bill Clinton declared illegal aliens to be a nuisance and border security to be an important issue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnOpGI0qRhA). But it was Barack Obama who—after having voted for a border barrier as a senator, along with Chuck Schumer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHnGFkUS_lc), Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, and Joe Biden (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijLJSTGA3hs)—changed his tune, to become an open-borders proponent, at the behest of George Soros, who is perhaps the world's richest advocate of erasing national boundaries and the security checks they provide against human trafficking, drug smuggling, and pedophilia rings. Soros has recently transferred 18 billion dollars to his illicitly tax-exempt Open Society Foundations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnCTpmVqqGw), in order to fund the migrant caravans that put women and children in danger of being raped or otherwise exploited or endangered.Q Has Said Soros Has a "Special Place" Waiting for HimIf one wishes to know what Q is saying about George Soros, one need only go to Qmap.pub (https://Qmap.pub) and type "soros" into the search box there. If one goes down that rabbit hole, one will find many intriguing bread crumbs leading to the nefarious activities and plots that Soros is known to have been engaged in. Q's reporting is not speculative but is grounded in facts; Q gives links to sources that are of major interest to American Patriots, although they go unreported by most media. According to Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, there is proof that funding for many of Soros' anti-American activities has been illicitly obtained, courtesy of American taxpayer dollars and the creation of Obama slush funds, and given to groups seeking America's demise (https://twitter.com/TomFitton/status/1049333485742313472).Is Incarceration at Guantanamo Bay in Store for Soros & Other Traitors to the American People?As the Clintons are being taken down, by means of serious investigations into the Clinton Foundation and its connections to various evil enterprises, will Soros find himself at risk of exposure as well? Is the Clinton Foundation (https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/bombshell-indictment-coming-clintons) the Pandora's Box whose opening will expose many of the leads necessary to finding scandal after scandal? Will any connection be found between the Clintons and George Soros? Just how many Chinese boxes might be discovered, once the Clinton Foundation is burst wide open? And who else's corruption might be exposed? Stay tuned. . . . A massive spate of arrests becomes increasingly likely, as we approach 2019, when Trump's Executive Order #13825, known as the "2018 Amendments to the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States," takes effect (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/03/08/2018-04860/2018-amendments-to-the-manual-for-courts-martial-united-states). After all, prison facilities at Guantanamo (https://www.military.com/daily-news/2018/03/28/when-it-comes-guantanamo-trump-truly-builder-chief.html) are being made ready, and 100 military police are being deployed there (http://www.theintelligencer.net/news/top-headlines/2018/12/305th-military-police-company-deploys-to-guantanamo-bay/) in readiness for something big that is looming. All of this, along with the Pentagon's making new guidelines for the transfer of detainees to Guantanamo (https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article210304199.html) points to an upcoming event of major importance, perhaps involving the arrest and trial by military tribunals of traitors. But the public must first be prepared for such a happening, in order to avoid reactions borne of surprise, fear, and outrage—such as rioting.Trump Is in a Chess Match to Restore the Republic, with the Help of Anonymous PatriotsThere is a Cold Civil War being fought in America, between the pro-American Constitutionalists of Trump and the Patriots and the dark forces of fascistic socialism working on behalf of the Deep-State Cabal and George Soros; it is a game of political maneuvering and countermoves, and it is all leading up to a major event, sometime in the coming weeks or months, that the nation is being prepared for by a warming-up process that includes story after story being released to the public, by a combination of New Media websites (like 63red: http://www.63red.com/feed and Godfather Politics: https://godfatherpolitics.com/), a handful of Fox News commentators—such as Sean Hannity (https://www.hannity.com/) and Lou Dobbs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNSbCntidHY)—and President Trump's tweets in combination with his military-intelligence team's Q-drops—go to https://qmap.pub/ and hover over the Twitter symbol to click the "POTUS: Off" button to make it "POTUS: On"—that inspire coöperation among millions of anonymous Patriots, in order to find answers to the questions posed by Q, as well as elaborations upon legitimate information being shared, so that they might better play their role in preparing the public for what is coming. So, in addition to New Media, read Q to obtain a deeper understanding of events and of how the world really works. Even after the anticipated arrests take place, there is much yet to come. So, God bless and protect America, and God bless and help the President of the United States, Donald John Trump, and the Q team.

|Green Sukabumi Stone in Bali - Photo courtesy of Villa Sound of The Sea, Bali
Bali Green Stone Tiles - Popular Stone for Traditional-style Villa
Villa Sound of the Sea combines traditional rural elements in its designs. The property uses a lot of natural elements in its buildings, including natural stones, wood, and that etched roofs. Green Sukabumi stone has a perfect look to match the entire design. It has a subtle, soft green color in its original shape, which looks slightly more prominent after undergoing cutting and polishing process. When submerged in the water, green sukabumi stone reveals a deeper tone, which looks inviting and refreshing under the hot tropical sun. This is the reason why the outdoor pool becomes the villa's main feature for its outdoor facilities.
Villa Sound of the Sea pairs the Bali green Sukabumi stone with a tropical-style wooden deck. The stone's turquoise color looks more brilliant under the sun, surrounded by dark grey stone tiles. It lends a relaxing vibe, especially with the loungers, umbrellas, pool bar, traditional gazebos, and decorative trees that surround the pool. It directly faces the beach, complementing the clear blue sky during the brightest days. The wooden deck pairs nicely with the pool's refreshing look. You can copy this design for a private home, especially if you have a large yard with a good view and want to build an outdoor pool on it.
Green Sukabumi Stone - Tips to Pair Green Sukabumi Stone for Pools
Bali green stone tiles are ideal for pairing in construction. You can build the pool's edges from tiles that will not absorb water, such as ceramics, lava stone, or marble. If you want to use basalt stone, make sure that the tiles are coated to protect them from water damage. You can build the pool above the ground by fitting it in a wooden deck, sealed to reduce the risk of water damage. Adding greens, such as shady trees and bushes, around the green Sukabumi stone tiles will increase the level of comfort when you are entering the water.

text: ForeverMovement 1 Posted November 7, 2018 Hello all, I've run into a problem that's been making me go in 6 directions and I can't seem to get any of them straight in my head. I have one cache that I want to copy to points that show up over time, I'm basically doing a running explosion like this https://gfycat.com/shinyhardanaconda When I copy the packed and cached sim onto the points the cache doesn't play with the offset of the points on the copied caches, so how would I go about offsetting each new sim on the new point. I've created a point attribute that marks the frame that each point gets created but I don't know how to connect that to a time offset or shift that would make it work on each point. Am I even doing this the right way? Anything helps, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ST. LOUIS – When we first saw President Jimmy Carter celebrating the 93rd birthday he attributed his longevity to eating and selling peanuts from the time he was 6-years- old.
"Eat peanut butter and peanuts and you`ll live as long as we do," said Jimmy Carter.
But, two years later, just weeks after his 95th birthday the former president has fallen for the third time this year.
"This was a pelvis fracture, another common fracture you get just by falling on your behind and causing all the pressure in your pelvic area," said Dr. Tim Pratt, Chief Medical Officer SSM Health St. Clare Hospital. "This is the third time recently he`s fallen and that`s not uncommon. As we know the greatest risk factor is a previous fall. So, we would expect people to fall once to fall again."
Dr. Tim Pratt is Chief Medical Officer for SSM Health St. Clare Hospital in Fenton. He`s a geriatrician who knows what`s ahead for the former president who refuses to slow down.
Weeks after a hip replacement Carter was back at his Sunday bible study at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, and working on a habitat for humanity project in Nashville at the beginning of October.
Dr. Pratt says rest and rehabilitation is most likely ahead for the former president.
"There was an older patient of mine who was up dancing at 107," says Dr. Pratt. "She kept moving and that`s the big thing. So, the muscle skeletal thing we can change. Again, activity or dancing, all those activities that keep that. I frequently send people to physical therapy for balance."

All around the world, there exists a host of gorgeous homes. Massive mansions, ancient castles, charming chateaus, all stunning (and enviable) in their own unique way.
But until I saw this little home, I had no idea that such natural beauty was possible — and now, I know exactly what my dream home looks like. Sure, fantastical tiny houses are nothing new — but I've never seen one as incredible as this before.
Hidden away in the lush mountains of Norway, covered in and filled with natural elements, this little cottage has to be seen to be believed. It might look like something out of The Lord of the Rings, but this little house is definitely real.
Looking for a special getaway, or maybe just a private retreat when skiing the snowy hills? With its rustic construction and cozy interior, this cabin is perfect.
Could you picture yourself sipping a cup of tea in this tiny house? Let us know in the comments below!
Nestled in the rolling green mountains of Norway, halfway between Oslo and Bergen, sits a house too beautiful to be real.
It might not seem like much at first, but step inside this grassy knoll, and a dreamy cabin experience awaits.
Nicknamed the "Hobbit Hut," this little home is like something from a fairytale. It's the perfect nook for a rustic getaway.
Sure, there are lots of nearby ski resorts, spas, and national parks — but how could you ever leave this cozy interior?
Visiting in the winter months? The heated floors turn on to keep the space nice and toasty. In the spring and summer, the mountains burst to life with greenery right outside the windows.
Imagine cuddling up on this hand-hewn bed lined with soft blankets and faux furs.
A warm bed like that would be much-appreciated in the winter, when the mountainscape becomes a stunning winter wonderland.
But when the snow melts, Mother Nature explodes upon this hillside — even on the rustic roof! Disconnecting from the world and reconnecting with nature would be effortless with this stunning backyard.
It might look like it's made for Hobbits, but this little hut has been built for years of human enjoyment. What would you enjoy most about this little cottage? Let us know in the comments below!

I am not afraid of heights – Have you seen my shoes?
Carrie Bradshaw
Who hasn't watched Sex and the City and drooled over Carrie's clothes?! Because I certainly have. From the dresses to her shoes, I would kill to have a wardrobe like that. To many viewers she may be just a character, but to me she is a great fashion icon and an inspiration. So I created one of her iconic looks of wearing a tulle skirt.
Tulle is most well known for being used in ballerina's tutus. When I learned ballet, the only thing that I was excited to wear was my pink tutu skirt because it made me feel like a princess! But with the years, tulle has become a fashion trend. So a fun fact, Tulle originated in France in the early 1700s and in a city called Tulle. Yep, tulle has been worn and used in various fashion trends overtime.
This tulle skirt has a layer of lace which creates a floating look. I paired my midi length skirt with a long sleeves lace top and pumps. The skirt is completely adorable and it is thin enough for an everyday look.

text: Thus, suddenly Qatar, a financial haven for terrorists, is suddenly a "friend"…Via Daily Caller: Numerous prominent foreign policy think tanks took millions of dollars in grants from foreign governments seeking favorable research and connections to U.S. policymakers, raising questions over whether the organizations should have filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The New York Times uncovered arrangements between 28 U.S. think tanks — including the Brookings Institution and the Center for Global Development — and 64 foreign entities worth at least $92 million. The Brookings Institution, considered by many to be the most prestigious think tank in the world, comes off especially poorly in the report. "There was a no-go zone when it came to criticizing the Qatari government," Saleem Ali, formerly a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar, told The Times. Qatar, which backs the Muslim Brotherhood, paid Brookings $14.8 million over four years to fund the center and for a special project to address relations between Muslims and the U.S. Keep reading… http://weaselzippers.us/198966-influenti...gn-governments/

Notă biografică
Steven Mithen is Professor of Early Prehistory and Pro Vice Chancellor at theUniversity of Reading.
Mithen did a huge amount of research to produce this curiously encyclopedic work. The book is empirically authoritative but quirkily postmodern...[A] truly provocative and ambitious work...After the Ice is a book that should be read and then exasperatingly argued about...And it does evoke the real excitement of doing Stone Age archaeology (from the digging to the debating the meaning of the finds): the passion to learn that has driven so many prehistorians and dreamers. -- Lawrence Guy Straus Science 20040227 Using an unorthodox narrative device, Mithen explores why, how, and where farming displaced hunting and gathering. Mithen conjures John Lubbock, an English author of a once-popular 1865 history of the Stone Age, and sends him back in time to visit dozens of excavation sites around the world as they appeared when inhabited. Lubbock's transcontinental perambulations permit Mithen (a practicing archaeologist who describes his digs in Scotland) to underscore one causal factor in the agricultural revolution: the fluctuations of climate at the end of the last Ice Age. Weather, sea level, and zones of plant and animal life changed dramatically in the 15,000 years of Lubbock's walkabout, and Mithen explains how environmental volatility is scientifically known as he sketches Lubbock observing the various 'living' human communities that have been uncovered. A successful marriage of fact and imagination. -- Gilbert Taylor Booklist 20040910 The resulting floods, spread of forests and retreat of the deserts set up the planet we know today. Mithen's exhaustive explanation of how human beings began living in small, mobile groups and then permanent villages and the resultant creation of civilisation is a big tale that's worth staying with. -- Brian Hennigan Glasgow Herald 20040605 With the help of a fictional guide dubbed John Lubbock, modeled after a Victorian naturalist who wrote a popular book called Prehistoric Times, Mithen embarks on a vivid tour of the warming world as it emerged from the last ice age. In the process, he lends a you-are-there immediacy to an era in which humans invented farming, settled in towns, and created civilization as we know it. Discover 20050101 By the end of this rich and multilayered book, I was dazzled and hungry for more. Mithen has succeeded where other archaeologists have failed: He transports the reader back into the past, showing evocatively how humans adapted to 15,000 years worth of environmental change. -- Nina Jablonski Discover 20050301 In an ambitious undertaking, archaeologist Mithen describes 15,000 years of ancient history from 20,000 to 5,000 B.C...Mithen explores how studying the abrupt transition between the ice age and a period of global warming could provide clues to the effects of climate changes going on today. Science News 20050305 After the Ice offers a fascinating whirlwind tour of an underappreciated segment of human history...The prose is lively and evocative as Mithen unfolds a compelling story...The cumulative effect of this book should be a profound new appreciation of a largely unknown and crucially important period of our past. If you want to find out what you don't know about the grand sweep of human history, there is not a better place to start. -- Douglas K. Charles American Scientist 20050501 The author successfully achieved his goal of presenting a great deal of information about a pivotal point in our history in a thorough and easily digestible manner...This successful compilation of human history from 20,000-5,000 BC should not be overlooked as a key reference and welcome addition to any library of an interested novice, undergraduate student of prehistory, or seasoned archaeologist looking for a well written synthesis. -- John D. Rissetto Paleoanthropology This massive and clever book opens modern scholarship about the distant past to nonspecialists. Buyers of this book will get their money's worth. It comes with a generous supply of maps and pictures of artifacts and digs, some of which are in color...Erudite and also quirky, Mithen summarizes the work of contemporary archaeologists, often by recounting his own visits to archaeological sites and drawing on insights from recent research on paleoclimates and human genetics...This impressive book stands out as the new standard work. -- David M. Fahey The Historian

Book Review: Louise Erdrich's 'Shadow Tag'
Book Review: Louise Erdrich's 'Shadow Tag'
Shadow Tag is a new novel about domestic tragedy written by Louise Erdrich. The best-selling author is no stranger to tragedy of the domestic kind herself. Alan Cheuse reviews Erdrich's deeply personal tale about marriage and family.
MADELEINE BRAND, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Madeleine Brand.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
And I'm Robert Siegel.
If the tabloids and nightly cable TV lineups are any indication, Americans are fascinated with failed marriages. After her own difficult divorce, novelist Louise Erdrich writes about a very difficult marriage in her new novel "Shadow Tag."
And our reviewer Alan Cheuse says the novel makes him just a tad uncomfortable.
ALAN CHEUSE: Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. That's the way the country song about the secrets of marriage would have it. In her new novel, Minnesota writer Louise Erdrich opens those doors. Her marriage to writer Michael Dorris ended in a frenzy of accusations of adultery and child abuse. Dorris eventually committed suicide.
In "Shadow Tag," Erdrich creates scenes from a fictional marriage, that of two American Indians, Irene and her painter husband Gil, that suggest some of the worst psychological torments and stresses of real life.
Gil's project is to paint Irene in pose after pose after pose: clothed, naked, from above, from behind, up close and at a distance. He makes his reputation from this work while driving Irene and their three children to the edge of despair. Does he stay or does he go? The question overshadows everything that happens in the novel.
The title speaks to their tormented back and forth. Irene sees it as similar to a game played in the snow after dark under street lamps in which the goal is to step on each other's shadow.
As the marriage lurches to a terrible ending, Erdrich shifts point of view from Irene to Gil to the children. The reader is left to ponder the misery of knowing a lot about a mystery some folks would say is better left unspoken.
SIEGEL: The novel is "Shadow Tag" by Louise Erdrich. Our reviewer is Alan Cheuse.

text: The Ford Ranger Raptor 11 October 2019 Admin (0) The Ford Ranger Raptor is a beast. Something about the face doesn't work though. I'm not entirely sure what. I think it's the bumper and the tires. The tires smaller than they could be and bumper comes out a bit on the sides. I could absolutely live with these things though. I like the rest of it. I love the twin turbo engine and fox suspension, it's based on the ranger which in XLT or Wildtrack spec is lovely and I would really like that. I imagine it's a great drive. I would book a test drive at my local dealership Human Auto but I'm pretty sure they won't let me drive one. They were once asked by head office to let me test drive a Mustang and they simply refused. They didn't explicitly say so though they cowardly just didn't do it. I was updated a few times by the representative in Joburg who tried her hardest to get it done but was getting nowhere with the dealership. I wasn't particularly surprised though, living in Bloem it happens. I once got an invite from Harley Davidson to go have a test ride at the dealership, the local manager guy was so rude to me on the phone and wouldn't commit to an appointment for something I assume lots of people who have offered the same opportunity got to go with no issues. The best treatment I ever got was at Mercedes Benz to my surprise. They given me a C220 to take on a drive unaccompanied, an 800 grand CLS500 I was accompanied but still they still let me take it out. They have also let me have a go in a C63AMG. Needless to say if I'm ever buying a Merc I will call on them but if I'm buying a ford or Harley it's never gonna be in Bloem but I digress, The Ranger Raptor looks amazing, probably is amazing. However, the main issue about it is it's 900k. Would I buy a souped up bakkie for 900k or something else? I mean that's 200k more than my house. The thing is absolutely great but where would I use any of its capabilities. Well I realise now saying this that I like the G wagon and would have it in a heartbeat. Ok scratch that part about me not being able to use its capabilities, I just hate that I would have to drive 400k to Joburg to go buy one because I'm sure in hell not buying it from Human Auto.

It really delivers it all - even with the cheapest plan, you get a free domain, unlimited bandwidth, and an SSL certificate. Whether you're building a small personal blog or a huge business website - Bluehost delivers.
While Bluehost is already an affordable provider, for Black Friday it dropped the prices significantly:
Bluehost informed us that they'll be slashing their prices up to 60% on these hosting services:

2. HostPapa
Sale date: November 26th - December 4th
HostPapa is one of the most known hosting companies. As we've reviewed, it focuses on beginner users by offering everything they need to launch a website quickly and effortlessly.
While HostPapa is definitely not the cheapest provider (starting at $3.95/month), maybe you can score a great deal during this Black Friday?
Well, this year, HostPapa is offering $1/month hosting for its three main products: shared hosting, WordPress hosting, and reseller hosting. Here's how it's looking in terms of details:
- Shared Web Hosting: $1/month on Starter and Business plans (36-month term only);
- Optimized WordPress Hosting: $1/month on Starter and Business plans (36-month term only);
- Reseller Hosting: $1/month on Bronze and Silver plans (for 1 month only)
If you opt for a shared web hosting plan, you could host your website for three full years for just $36. That's almost four times cheaper than the regular HostPapa price.
Interested? Grab your $1 hosting with the button below - no coupon codes required.
3. Hostinger
Sale date: From October 2019
Hostinger is already one of the most affordable providers on the market. We've praised Hostinger in our review for impressive uptime, top-notch security, and user-friendliness.
And just like last year, Hostinger takes their Black Friday discounts to the next level by offering up to 90% off their services. That's, by far, the most generous web hosting deal this year!
Now consider their shared hosting prices of $7.99, $11.95 and $15.95 going down to just $0.80, $2.15, and $3.45.

DreamHost is a powerful and trustworthy hosting company aimed at businesses and organizations. In our review, we've preached this provider for offering free hosting for non-profit projects. So will DreamHost be as generous with its Black Friday deals?

Great list but just so everyone knows Hosting24 the "up-and-comer" is a subsidiary/partner of Hostinger (you could tell just by looking at the two homepages but it's in the fine print as well) But any-who if you decide to go with Hostinger use the coupon BLACKFRIDAY which brings it down even lower than their no coupon needed price. Pretty silly but it does.

A whare always has a name, ours is Te Whare Tama.
A new whare sits pride of place at Kidsfirst Belfast and reflects the importance and pride we have for our bicultural heritage at kindergarten.
Te Whare Tama - the child's house - is the name given to the new carved whare at Kidsfirst Belfast, now a beautiful focal point positioned just inside the kindergarten gates.
Community Matua (Māori elder), Teoti Jardine led a recent blessing of the whare, with extended kindergarten whānau (families) invited along to be part of the special naming ceremony. Celebrations included children's waiata, hongi and shared kai.
"A whare always has a name," says Teoti. "It may be the name of an ancestor or a figure from Māori mythology. The name Te Whare Tama means each child here at Kidsfirst Belfast can feel a sense of ownership and guardianship over their whare."
Teoti adds, "It's truly been an honour to bless this whare, built with ka rika o aroha - the hands of love."
He's referring to the generosity and skill of Kidsfirst Belfast kindergarten father and builder Greg McLaughlin, and his four-year-old son James (currently attending Kidsfirst Belfast) who built the whare together at home, before bringing it in to kindergarten for all to enjoy.
Matua (Māori Elder) Teoti Jardine, leads the whare blessing.
(L to R) Head Teacher, Justine Martin-McKenzie, Teoti Jardine and Teachers,
Alissa Jardine and Abbie Harding.
"This project has been an amazing process and one that has brought all of our whānau (families) together," says Head Teacher, Justine Martin-McKenzie. "We're really proud of it."
She says, "Our children love spending time gathered together in the whare to play, but it can also be a quiet place to sit for contemplation and reflection."
Builder Greg McLaughlin (above, centre) holds his children with the extended kindergarten
Teoti Jardine and Teacher Alissa Jardine are whānau at Kidsfirst Belfast.
Across a network of over 70 kindergartens and early learning centres, spanning Canterbury, Banks Peninsula, the West Coast and Central Otago, Kidsfirst Kindergartens take huge pride in celebrating New Zealand's bicultural heritage.
"Our kindergartens and early learning centres find unique ways to weave Te Ao Māori (the Māori world) into learning every day," says Kidsfirst Chief Executive, Sherryll Wilson. "It's a really important part of who we are."
A growing number of Kidsfirst centres have a whare sitting pride of place in their outdoor environment, as an integral part of what's on offer for children to learn about and explore in their big backyards.
"What's really impressive about Kidsfirst Belfast's whare is the tekoteko (carved figurehead) above the entrance," says Teoti. "This is the first carving Greg has attempted, and he's done a fantastic job."
The tekoteko incorporates three different Kidsfirst motifs that represent kaitiakitanga (guardianship for nature), manaakitanga (care and hospitality) and whai wahitanga (participation).
Kidsfirst Belfast teachers, Alissa Jardine and Abbie Harding, agree that, "Greg and his family are truly a taonga (treasure) in our kindergarten community. They've put so much commitment, time and energy into making something so special for us."
"This is not the first time Greg has made a whare for us," says Justine. "Some of you may remember the flax whare he built alongside the tamariki during a walk in the Styx Mill Reserve, when his daughter Charlotte was at kindergarten."

12 November 2014
Article by Jack Goode, National Assembly for Wales Research Service
The Deputy Minister for Farming & Food has released a statement on measures being taken to encourage the next generation into farming. This follows the publication of the Malcolm Thomas Report in May 2014. The report identifies barriers preventing newcomers from entering the Welsh agricultural sector. The report makes 27 specific recommendations.
One of the key findings of the report is the one-in-one-out nature of Welsh farming. As the land available for agriculture is scarce, one of the primary barriers to entry is the slow rate of exit. The report finds that many established farmers feel they cannot stop farming for a range of reasons, including the lack of provision upon retirement, the social alienation that leaving farming may entail and the threat of moving from an ancestral home. The report highlights the fact that unless the issue of exit from the industry is effectively and delicately handled, further recruitment into agriculture will be hampered. This, the report concludes, could reduce the levels of innovation within the industry.
The report finds that another area of difficulty faced by new entrants is the large financial capital often required. As farms have become larger in order to guarantee income, given the relatively low profitability in the industry, the costs of land and machinery have also increased, making it particularly difficult for a newcomer to establish themselves. The Malcolm Thomas Report did however identify the willingness of banks to engage with farmers and recommended that the Deputy Minister for Farming & Food meet regularly with banks to ensure financial engagement is promoted. To financially support newcomers the report also recommended that the Welsh Government works with HM Treasury in developing assistive tax measures aimed at reducing financial barriers to newcomers.
The Welsh Government has accepted 22 of the 27 recommendations. In relation to the five rejected recommendations, the Welsh Government mainly argued that these functions could be more effectively dealt with by agencies other than the Welsh Government. It has set itself the deadline of December 2015 by which to have implemented the accepted recommendations.
The recommendations made by the Malcolm Thomas Report have strong support from NFU Cymru and FUW who both assisted in its initial drafting. Throughout the process the NFU has advocated an invigoration of the Welsh agricultural sector and believes that the additional support provided by the recommendations will be a step in the right direction.
The Young Entrants Support Scheme (YESS) is the current scheme which aims to encourage and support young entrants, under 40 years old into the agricultural sector. It provides funding, mentoring and advice to people who have joined the sector in their first 12 months, the final round of applications closed on 28th October. This programme will be superseded by the new Welsh Rural Development Plan which will operate from January 2015 until 2020. The RDP plans to keep key mechanisms of the YESS.
