The new Odyssey 2019 collection is based on our best selling BOLDR Odyssey series, a fan-favorite quintessential dive watch with a stylish case, double-domed sapphire crystal lens and rotating bezel. Choose between a striking California dial version and ultra-tough Full Metal version.
The Full Metal Odyssey boasts a stainless steel or DLC-plated case that houses a unique, grainy-textured gradient dial with Swiss Superluminova BGW9/C3.

This super tough watch is also fitted with one of our most requested features - a metal bracelet with custom end links, along with an upgradable premium diver-extension buckle.

The revenue reporting standard IFRS 15 spells big changes for some entities and industries. Find out how it affects you
In Brief
- IFRS 15 takes effect for periods starting on or after 1 January 2018; early adoption is permitted
- It replaces several standards, establishing a single standard for all entities in all industries
- The standard may have little effect on some entities but require significant changes for others
What's changing?
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a comprehensive framework for determining when and how much revenue to recognise.
The core principle [of IFRS 15] is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
IFRS 15 aims to solve the problem of there being too many different recognition practices in use. This diversity arose because similar transactions have often been accounted for in different ways, due to inconsistencies and other shortfalls in the existing standards.
What IFRS 15 replaces
- IAS 11 Construction contracts
- IAS 18 Revenue
- IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes
- IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate
- IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers
- SIC-31 Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
Who is affected
For most straightforward contracts, there will be few, if any, changes to the amount and timing of revenue recognition. However, for contracts that extend over time or have multiple elements, there could be changes. For some entities, those changes could be significant.
Here are some examples of contracts that may be affected:
- construction contracts
- licences
- customer incentives such as free product giveaways, coupons issued with purchase, rights of return, and loyalty programmes
- product warranties
- bundled products such as mobile phones sold with service contracts.
The sectors most likely to be affected include:
- telecommunications
- construction
- motor vehicle industry
- software industry
- entertainment industry.
When IFRS 15 commences
IFRS 15 takes effect for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018; early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be applied retrospectively to each prior period, but an alternative transition method is also offered.

Five steps for recognising revenue
1 - Identify the contract(s) with the customer
IFRS 15 defines a contract as:
"An agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations".
All of these conditions in IFRS 15 must be met:
- The contract has been approved by all parties
- Each party's rights can be identified
- The payment terms can be identified
- The contract has commercial substance
- It is probable that payment will be collected.
2 - Identify the performance obligations in the contract
IFRS 15 defines a performance obligation as:
"A promise in a contract with a customer to transfer to the customer either:
- a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct; or
- a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer."
A good or service is considered distinct when:
- the customer can benefit from it; or
- the promise to transfer the good or service is separate from other promises in the contract.
3 - Determine the transaction price
IFRS 15 defines the transaction price as:
"The amount of consideration (fixed, variable, non-cash) an entity expects to be entitled to for the goods or services in the contract."
4 - Allocate the transaction price
If there is more than one performance obligation in a contract, the total transaction price should be set according to the standalone selling prices of the performance obligations. IFRS 15 suggests three approaches to estimating a standalone selling price if it's not known:
- adjusted market assessment
- expected cost plus margin
- residual.
5 - Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied
Revenue should be recognised when the customer gains control of the good or service promised in the contract. IFRS 15 requires that at the start of the contract, the entity has to determine whether it will meet its performance obligation over a period of time or at a particular point in time.

Though Malaysia Airlines' identity has taken a drastic hit after the horrendous disappearance of flight 370 in 2014, the airline's sterling first-class service doesn't have to be overlooked. Due to the tragic incident, and the mounting commercial losses, the most talked-about airline in the world is now going through a management shuffle and renewal of its fleet.
While the MH370 incident changed how people felt about flying with Malaysia Airlines, the tragedy didn't stop me from flying with them, and here is my first MH experience from my recent flight.
Date: 23 July 2016
Flight Path: Kuala Lumpur (KUL) – Langkawi (LGK)
Seat: Window
Class: Economy
Seat: 12A
Length: 1 hour 5 minutes
Fare: USD 17/-
CHECK IN: Malaysia Airlines operates its domestic routes out of Kuala Lumpur at KLIA2 terminals. There were 5 check-in counters with very few passengers in the queue, hence the check-in process was quick and easy.
PLANE: The aircraft was a Boeing 737-800 and was not a new aircraft. Some of the fleet's 737-800s are visibly new compared with the rest, they also operate two versions of Boeing 737-800: one with 150 seats on Economy Class and the other with 144 seats in the Economy Class. This aircraft had 16 seats of Business Class and 150 seats of Economy Class for domestic flights.
Soon after I boarded the plane, I started noticing that many passengers were standing next to their seats with their boarding passes, all of them were traveling with their families. Shortly a cabin crew met them, she was a little loud though, but kept telling everyone to take seats as per the seat numbers printed on their boarding passes and to speak with other passengers to exchange seats should they wish to sit with there family members. I purchased my ticket through the Malaysia Airlines website and selected my seat originally for 11E (the seat pitch was 30″ and was comfortable), the same option must have been available for everyone else who purchased tickets online, if not, would have been able to get it done through their travel agent. Even the staff at the check-in counter could have done something about it, instead of letting the same situation happen on every domestic flight departing from KLIA2.
There was something else I observed, an elderly man and woman sitting at the emergency exits seats on row 12. According to my knowledge in emergency exit seating requirements, whoever sits at an emergency exit must have the capacity to perform the applicable functions of an emergency evacuation without the assistance of an adult companion, parent, or other relative. There could have been the possibility that others who traveled with these 2 passengers selected the emergency exit seats for the convenience of legroom for them, but they are still not allowed to sit as per the emergency exit seating requirements. The chief purser of the flight was with them soon and asked me if I could offer my seat for them in exchange for the seats they already had, I agreed and took my new window seat at the emergency exit. The crew soon demonstrated the safety features on-board the Boeing 737-800 and the flight took off on schedule.
ENTERTAINMENT: Almost all 737-800s in the Malaysia Airlines fleet have personal AVOD screens with a wide array of audio and video library. The rest of the 737-800s have standard audio available. The Business Class has 10.6″ screens while Economy Class has 9″ screens.
FOOD: Since it was a short flight, there was no meal service, but the crew offered a cup of orange juice and a packet of peanuts for the economy class passengers.
SERVICE: Not all the crew members were warm and hospitable, if you have seen the uniform of the female cabin crews of Malaysia Airlines, they wear a graceful silk uniform made from a sarong kebeya design, they conducted an MH = "Malaysian Hospitality" campaign in early 2013, while MH also represents the airline's two letter code. And with the way the female crew addressed the passengers at the time I boarded and took my seat, I just cannot agree that it's true Malaysian hospitality, especially with my first experience and impression.
It was a sunny day until the flight started its descent, the Captain informed the crew to prepare the cabin for landing and soon we touched at Langkawi International Airport.
CONCLUSION: I enjoyed my short experience with Malaysia Airlines though, in the midst of and in spite of so many troubles, the airline is putting a lot of effort to maintains its seat as one of the best airlines in the world. The seats were much comfortable than I expected— I'll fly you again Malaysia Airlines.

I've always been very active, even as a kid. I loved building jumps in my family's Oregon cul-de-sac to launch my wagon and my bike into orbit. I kept building and playing in sun or rain until my Mother's call for dinner took on clear tones of fury. I started swimming competitively around age 6 and I quickly discovered how much I loved to compete and push the limits. I started racing local cycling events, and immediately fell in love with that two-wheeled rocket. I completed my first triathlon when I was 12.
I kept up the occasional triathlon to supplement my swim training for a few years, but this great sport gained momentum in my life. I joined a collegiate cross country squad to help develop my running ability and managed to win an 18-19 USAT National Championship. I qualified for both my pro card and entry into the U23 World Championships in 2012. In 2013, I joined The Triathlon Squad, moved to Poway and completed my first full professional season.
Pro Triathletes are expected to write race reports, but nobody reads race reports. Seeking a better way to communicate, and an outlet for some bottled up creative juices, I took on some intensive research and experimenting with online videos. Thanks to the incredible support from friends, sponsors and the online triathlon community, I've stayed motivated to keep pushing the envelope of triathlon race and life videography. I want my videos to be visually engaging as well as rich in honest content for people interested in the sport I love.

Golay Patent half-plate movement, the top plate with raised barrel and complete with finished keyless work and minute repeating train which is mounted under the steel plate carrying the finished chronograph train, the wheel train planted but not the escapement, the cock with fine adjustment regulator as fitted to their best work. 44 mm diameter.
Charles Hector Golay, 46 Myddleton Square, London, Patent No 12417, October 1885. Swiss born (the Jura) but working most of his life in London, Golay was the main manufacturer, along with Nicole, Nielsen & Co, of the very best British made complicated watch work at the latter part of the 19th century. This minute repeating chronograph movement, with minute counter, is exactly as shown in Golay's trade catalogue of circa 1885 and is part of the material left over after C H Golay retired in 1911 - it remains in the same paper as then wrapped. NB: For anyone considering perhaps finishing a small run of these English complicated movements, please get in touch as I may be able to help.
In good original condition, a very rare survival and a document of past English manufacturing practice of some importance - more so than any finished example.

As technology has grown in countless ways, social networking site has become more popular and important in online community of internet users. Nowadays, social networking sites (SNSs) are increasingly appealing to the interest of academic and industry researchers fascinated by their affordances and reach. However, most people are still not quite sure what social networking means. Social networking is the alliance of individuals into particular groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision. Social networking services are changing the ways in which people use and engage with the Internet and with each other. Social networking websites operate like an online community of internet users. Many of these online community members share a common interest such as hobbies, religion, politics or activities. Young people, particularly, are quick to use the new technology in ways that increasingly blur the boundaries between online and offline activities. Social networking services are also developing rapidly as technology changes with new mobile dimensions and features. This paper will focus on "Facebook" which is one of social networking sites that is getting more popular in online community and gaining attention from internet users in present. It is more of a lifestyle play that allows members to connect to each other. Facebook has grown to 45 million active users who spend an average of 22 minutes on the site. This paper focuses on why Facebook is successful. What innovation or strategy it uses to develop its site to get popular in online community. Moreover, we discuss on Facebook's business strategy and its partnerships and competitors in social network sites. From our research, we apply SWOT analysis to support on how Facebook is successful and popular. Furthermore, this paper will mention about innovation of Facebook in future.

JERUSALEM — Israeli and Palestinian rights organizations have challenged the credibility of Israel's inquiries into possible military misconduct during the 2014 war in Gaza, with one group describing the internal legal process as a "facade" intended to try to stave off a war crimes investigation by the International Criminal Court.
In a report released on Tuesday, the group, B'Tselem, a left-wing Israeli organization that focuses on allegations of rights abuses against Palestinians in Gaza and in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, characterized the military's system of internal investigations as a "whitewash protocol."
"The work of the military law enforcement system does nothing more than offer the illusion that Israel is fulfilling its obligations to investigate breaches of law," the group said.
The sharp recriminations come two years after the cease-fire that ended 50 days of fighting in the summer of 2014 between Israel and rocket-firing militant groups in Gaza led by Hamas.
In a sign of persistent tensions, the Israeli military said on Tuesday that its air force had intercepted a Hamas drone just off the coast of Gaza.
The Israeli military rejected B'Tselem's report, describing it as "unprofessional and rife with bias." In a statement, the military accused the group of "waging a delegitimization campaign against Israel's justice system, and especially against Israel's military justice system."
In an update late last month, the Military Advocate General of Israel, which supervises law enforcement in the armed forces, announced the closing of seven investigations of possible misconduct during the 2014 conflict, without charges. Several more inquiries into what the Israeli military calls "exceptional incidents" had already been closed, while other cases are pending.
So far, the Military Advocate General has issued indictments against three soldiers accused of looting and of aiding and abetting looting, and legal proceedings in the cases are in progress.
Days after the update last month, Adalah, an Arab-rights group in Israel, and the Gaza-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights issued a report saying they had filed joint complaints in 27 cases from the outset of the war, involving the killing of civilians and extensive damage to civilian property like hospitals and schools. They said that the military was still investigating or had yet to respond to nearly half of those complaints, and that it was working "in a sluggish and convoluted manner." The military says that, in all, it has received complaints relating to 360 events.
About 2,200 Palestinians were killed during the 2014 conflict, more than half of them civilians. On the Israeli side, 73 people were killed, most of them soldiers. A United Nations Commission of Inquiry found that both Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants had been responsible for violations of international law that could amount to war crimes.
The Constitution of the International Criminal Court stipulates that it should only intervene in cases where countries are unwilling or unable to investigate themselves. At the urging of Palestinian leaders, prosecutors at the international court have been conducting a preliminary inquiry into possible war crimes in Palestinian territories, but the chief prosecutor has not yet made a decision regarding the court's jurisdiction to investigate events during the 2014 war.
B'Tselem does not have access to military intelligence materials or other tools used by the army investigators, but it is critical of the overall system. It says the Military Advocate General faces an "inherent conflict of interest" being both in charge of investigations within the military and the body responsible for providing the military with legal counsel before and during the fighting.
B'Tselem added that there were no investigations of what it called "the true culprits" — government officials and senior military commanders who devised policy and were responsible for the orders — because the inquiries had been limited to isolated cases and had focused exclusively on the soldiers in the field.
As in a previous report, B'Tselem criticized the Israeli practice of targeting residential buildings thought to be harboring militants or weapons. Two years later, it said, there had still been no investigation of the policy of targeting inhabited homes, which it said had resulted in the death of hundreds of people. In several of those cases, it said, the military had concluded that its attacks were lawful, even if the results were regrettable and the result of faulty or inadequate intelligence or of ineffective warnings.
The Israeli military said that the latest B'Tselem report rehashed old allegations and displayed "a complete lack of comprehension of the reality of combat in the Gaza Strip," as well as a "lack of expertise in the interpretation and application of the Law of Armed Conflict in such a context." The report, the military said, failed to acknowledge that most of Israel's aerial attacks in Gaza in the summer of 2014, which numbered more than 6,000 over 50 days, did not result in any civilian casualties. Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israel during the fighting in 2014.
Despite the high death toll in Gaza, the chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, said in November 2014 that he believed that Israel had gone to "extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage and civilian casualties" during the conflict and that he had sent a "lessons learned" team to Israel to study its tactics.
The two-year-old cease-fire has largely held, but it has been punctuated by occasional border skirmishes, and Israeli military officials say that Hamas has been testing its rocket abilities. The military said that the drone shot down on Tuesday had been under air force surveillance "from the moment it took off from the Gaza Strip."

The new campaign targets to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing at sea. It provides North P&I Club's members and their crew with a resources and support materials to protect their emotional wellbeing at sea and it guides on where to access additional help if needed.
The resources include a new confidential helpline, Mind Call, provided in cooperation with ISWAN. Mind Call is available to crew on board North entered vessels and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The Mind Call team speaks several languages, while seafarers can access the helpline through email and live chat.
North P&I Club's Mind Matters campaign was developed as a response to the rising number of mental health related incidents on board entered vessels, over the last years.
Mental health and emotional wellbeing can affect the crew member and their colleagues, leading to poor job performance and a possibly dangerous working environment.
Belinda Ward, head of North's Personal Injury team, commented on the occasion:
We have recognised that the mental health and emotional wellbeing of seafarers is just as important as their physical wellbeing. Life at sea can be stressful and the nature of the job demands long periods away from family and friends. Our main priority is to provide immediate support for seafarers.

Armed Police
Two thirds of Birmingham Mail readers believe police should be routinely armed on the streets, according to our online poll.
Calls have been made for dramatically more officers to be armed following the terrorist attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead.
But the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson said a "serious discussion" needed to take place before a decision on whether to increase the numbers of armed police on patrol.
Of those who took part in a Birmingham Mail online poll, 68 per cent agreed that police officers should be routinely armed, while 32 per cent disagreed.
Reader Kyle Street commented: "No need for debate, arm the police. Get more police officers."
Robert Byrne added: "I'd prefer police to be armed rather than wait for special forces. At least then the police could help defend people rather than being helpless."
But a number of readers said the UK should resist a "knee-jerk" reaction after the events in Paris,
Bobby Jones said: "The police in America are armed to the teeth and look at all the crime and murder they have over there. More weaponry on the streets is not the answer."
Clare Field also commented: "We have specifically trained armed police where needed. If anything we need to stop cuts to the police and reinforce the importance of policing at a community level."
Yesterday Birmingham MP Jack Dromey (Lab Erdington) accused David Cameron of "living on a different planet" after the Prime Minister claimed cutting police funding was leading to more police on the streets.
Speaking in the House of Commons, he said: "It would be the worst possible time now to proceed with the biggest cuts to any police service in Europe, which will have a serious impact on neighbourhood policing, vital to intelligence gathering, the eyes and ears of counter-terrorism in local communities."
Last week, West Midlands Police discovered it will lose £28 million in funding following a government miscalculation.

Yeah, I don't want to put a hex on the Jets but they are doing us a massive favour right now.
My point was that often it is the "uninspiring" unsung heroes who are the backbone of a successful team, so that bringing in such players is often a crucial move that goes unappreciated at the time. It is possible that Valour's unappreciated signings will not turn out to be such players. It is also possible that they will. Which is why the suggestion that they are "underwhelming" may be very misleading. Glad you understand Warnock's nickname although I fail to see what it has to do with this discussion. Other than to show us all how clever you are of course. (For those not in the know, "Colin Wanker" is an anagram of "Neil Warnock".)
I liked what they did with season ticket prices for those two centre sections: it was a nice little jump from $28 to $39 (+GST) to get the "best" seats. So $29.40 to $40.95 all in). Surely there are a bunch of fans who want the best seats and are willing and able to pay a BIT more for them. But for single game seats, things have changed: now the price change is from $30.32 to $53.32 (+ fees of $4.25)! I was shocked when I saw that. Applying the same percentage increase as for season tickets (just over 39%!) the price should be $42.23 (+ fees of $4.25), which again I think would make sense. It smacks of the "Bomber gouge" to me. Never mind what is reasonable, let's just squeeze the fans for every penny we can get. Seems like they miscalculated here. And the price we all will pay will be not having a sell out for the inaugural match, which is so short sighted it is absolutely infuriating.
Adam Mitter looks like a very solid signing to me: he fills a massive hole in the squad in that he plays CB and DM and those are the two areas where Valour desperately needed some depth. Appears to be a like-for-like replacement for Navia. Not easy to find a good replacement when someone you had signed suddenly lets you down so kudos to Rob for this one. We will have to wait to see how good Mitter is but transfermarkt gives him a non-zero value, unlike the majority of CPL players. As for "uninspiring", we have to understand where we are financially. In these early years, journeyman imports are exactly what I would expect. You seed that international experience into your squad and the Canadian youngsters will all be better for it: which is why I think it is important to try to fill every one of those import places. There are 13-16 places on each squad for Canadian players and that is more than enough to accommodate all those who are good enough. Further to "uninspiring", a little anecdote: In 2010 QPR appointed Neil Warnock after struggling the previous season. Most fans expected a relegation battle. Warnock brought in 4 journeyman players, who were almost universally called "uninspiring": Paddy Kenny, a vertically challenged keeper, Clint Hill, a journeyman defender, Shaun Derry, a journeyman midfielder, and Jamie Mackie, a young-ish striker with a less-than-inspiring scoring record. All 4 players had one other thing in common: "character". QPR won the (football) league.
There is a "View Barcode" button underneath the ticket. I just checked and it appears to work.
When you have worked in software development, you understand the pain that comes with being on the bleeding edge. I will take a look at the Centre Circle app when other poor souls have worked out the kinks. In the meantime, I can login to my Valour account and see all my Valour tickets, and my TicketBastard account for the others.
Valour are being sold out by the Bombers but I'm not sure that is what you meant. Best estimate on season ticket sales for Valour is probably 2,850-ish. Home opener still has lots of seats available but the "optimal price point" ones are all gone. Probably looking at around 7,500 or so right now. Third home match against Forge on a Thursday night is wide open in all sections: my guess is around 4,200 tickets sold right now (just eyeballing the TM screen).
Exactly. Or indeed what level it will be at a month from now, which could be very different. Keep in mind that Valour have only signed 19 players, including only 4 internationals, so surely there are at least a couple more signings to come. Particularly in midfield, where we only have 15 players so far.
You must be new to this whole football supporter thing!
Setting aside for a moment my qualms about the lack of defensive midfielders and the lack of depth in defence: From what I have seen (and I watched a few Valour practices at U of M) and read, I consider Rob Gale to be a very progressive and technical coach. It takes time to get these types of ideas across to the players and to get them implementing the desired strategy and tactics. And after many years of following QPR, I have concluded that even in average circumstances, the correlation between pre-season results and competitive results is....zero. So, while I am concerned about how competitive Valour will be, this result does not feed that concern at all.
It was a bit obscure. I took it to be jocular disrespect to the quality of VW, as in "we are threatening to give you a VW".
I am appalled and I just assume that everybody else is too. No need for anymore to be said.

The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) released its latest resolution regarding sex offender requirements for youth under the age of 18.
Research shows that placing youth on sex offender registries does not advance public safety and can actually make communities less safe. Research also shows that re-offending rates for youth who offend sexually are extremely low and that juvenile sexual re-offense risk assessments have been validated for predicting sexual re-offending.
'There is a growing body of research that indicates that for the majority of youth charged with sexual offenses registration requirements are more harmful than helpful—for the youth and for public safety,' said Melissa Sickmund, Ph.D., director, National Center for Juvenile Justice , NCJFCJ's research division. 'This resolution provides information and guidance to reduce, and perhaps even eliminate, sex offender registration for youth.'

Halloween has officially arrived at French Vanilla............
I know it's a little early to start thinking about Halloween. Canadians usually wait to get through Thanksgiving (it's earlier here than in the US) before they focus on decorating for Halloween. However I do have several customers who plan on decorating for Halloween this coming week. Although not as popular as Christmas, decorating for Halloween is getting more popular in Canada. As for me, I love the Vintage style ornaments reminiscent of days gone by. My sister got me hooked on these several years ago. Folk Artists like Dee Foust, Bethany Lowe, Wendy Addison and Nicol Sayre are among my favorite. Below are a few examples of the wonderful whimsical Halloween ornaments that have recently arrived in the store. Whatever your tastes, if you've never decorated for Halloween before, choose a few items to start your own family fall decorating traditon.

Hello Bonjour....
Well this is my first attempt at blogging! It's been quite a year and a half for me. I retired from the Federal Government after 34 years and in October 2006, I started a new retail store called "French Vanilla Home and Garden". In July 2007 I launched my store's e-commerce website and now this....blogging! Who would have thought! Has it been challenging?....a bit, stressful?.... some days, rewarding?....most definitely! I love owning my own retail store, filling it with things I love and helping my customers find that perfect item or gift! I am enjoying this new phase of my life and look forward to learning new things, having new adventures and making new friends along the way!

On May 20, 1871, Lewis Carroll sent the following poem to Mabel and Emily Kerr of Canada. The poem was titled "Double Acrostic". Can you figure out where the acrostics are?
Thanks, thanks, fair Cousins, for your gift
So swiftly borne to Albion's isle —
Though angry waves their crests uplift
Between our shores, for many a league!
("So far, so good," you say: "but how
Your Cousins?" Let me tell you, Madam.
We're both descended, you'll allow,
From one great-great-great-grandsire, Noah.)
Your picture shall adorn the book
That's bound, so neatly and moroccoly,
With that bright green which every cook
Delights to see in beds of cauliflower.
The carte is very good, but pray
Send me the larger one as well!
"A cool request!" I hear you say.
"Give him an inch, he takes an acre!
"But we'll be generous because
We well remember, in the story,
How good and gentle Alice was,
The day she argued with the Parrot!"
The acrostics are not apparent and even after a careful examination of the poem would prove to be futile. So, where are they?
Carroll used a little smokescreen to hide the acrostics. The last word of every stanza of the poem is an artifice. If you replace each of them with a similar word which rhymes with the last word of the second line of its respective stanza, then it would make more sense:
Leauge is substituted with Mile.
Noah is substituted with Adam.
Cauliflower is substituted with Brocolli.
Acre is substituted with Ell.
Parrot is substituted with Lorry.
Now, arrange this five words vertically:
M il E
A da M
B rocoll I
E l L
L or Y

My friend Rosemary has over 50 descendants; children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She's big on family history and often entertains the younger generations with stories and photos of their ancestors. On one recent occasion, she showed them some letters written, by her mother and grandmother, in the fine Palmer method which was taught in our schools for several generations. They puzzled over the letters for some time before admitting that they couldn't read the "strange" writing.
Every time leap year rolls around, I think of my Aunt Opal who told me it was acceptable for a woman to propose to a man during leap year. My mother said that could only be on Feb. 29, so the opportunity arises only once every four years. My big sister insisted, if you proposed to him that day, he had no options, he had to say yes. On Feb.
It has been announced that the, as yet unseen, Planet X does exist somewhere way out there past Pluto. The best information I could get is it orbits the sun every 15,000 years, which makes for a heck of a long wait between birthdays, an enormous number of pages on the calendar and tediously long winters. I was told it is somewhere around the size of Jupiter– one of our larger planets– with a diameter of roughly three-and-a-half times that of our Earth, though I don't know how they can be sure if nobody has ever seen it.
I caught part of a recent television program dealing with inter-species friendships in the animal kingdom. When I tuned in, they were discussing an unusual relationship between a Labrador pup and a young lion. They did a lot of racing around and playing just about the same as animal siblings do, and I thought about the kitten we had at one time. She came into a household that already had two female dogs, who got along peacefully, and she was soon adopted by the youngest (and smallest) of the two, who tended to mother her.
Valentine's Day is still 10 days away, but it's not too soon to start thinking about ways to observe it. Maybe you haven't sent any valentines to anyone, except your spouse or your grandkids, for years. Maybe not since grade school when it was a welcome break from winter routines and somebody's mother brought heart-shaped cookies to school for you and your classmates.
I pulled a volume of an old set of encyclopedias off my library shelf not long ago and discovered some tiny, neat holes appeared to have been drilled through some of the pages with a drill bit not much bigger than a needle. Oh-oh. Did I have an infestation of bookworms? I'd heard about them but had never before encountered one in person. My dictionary defines bookworm as an insect whose larvae feed on the paper and paste of books.
Someone on television keeps telling me they have warned me about the dangers of smoke detectors and sleeping children. Really? I didn't realize smoke detectors were dangerous. And, I've never in my entire life seen a sleeping child who posed a threat of any kind. Someone most certainly wasn't paying attention in eighth grade English class when Mrs. Cotter pointed out the careful choice of words and proper punctuation are essential to clarity in both speech and the written word, and the sort of sloppiness used in announcements leads to ambiguity, confusion and misunderstanding.
There he stood, with his red kettle and cheery brass bell, and I realized I no longer make three trips to the grocery store every week. Nor do I spend a month or six weeks shopping for gifts for Christmas. I probably wasn't tossing nearly as much into that red kettle every year as I once did. In the past, it had been my habit to just clean out my loose change and add a dollar bill, if it looked too meager, every time I encountered one of those hearty Salvation Army volunteers.
All the fuss about perhaps banning Muslims from entering the United States reminds me far too much of the prejudices against Germans, Japanese and Italians during WWII. As it turned out, it was the Japanese who suffered the most, being more or less ostracized and confined in detention camps. There were probably a number of reasons for this, including the fact most Americans blamed the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor for America getting involved in the war in the first place. After the Allies had pretty much settled things in Europe, the Japanese still persisted.
I try not to make New Year's resolutions, or any other type of resolution, if I can possibly avoid it. The reason: I know I won't keep them, so why set myself up to feel guilty? I've come up with a better idea; make resolutions I'd like to see other people make. I must confess most of these "by proxy" resolutions arise from things that annoy me, but that's as good a reason as any. One of the biggies, that has been bugging me in recent months, is the increasing use of initials everywhere.
All the grandiose promises the big-box stores and the Internet shopping sites make regarding guaranteed delivery right up to Christmas day remind me of the packages that used to come to our house just before Christmas when I was a kid. In those days, the mail was delivered twice a day, Monday through Friday, and once on Saturday. The Parcel Post began delivering packages as soon as they had arrived on the train, been sorted and loaded onto the van.
For anyone who is not a dedicated spectator-sports fan, weekend television is rapidly becoming a numbing ordeal. There is little to choose from unless you're an avid football fan and not necessarily fussy about what teams, college or professional, are being broadcast on any particular Saturday or Sunday.

Have you ever been on a job interview where you knew you were right for the job, but you didn't get it? Review: 'Microbe and Gasoline' Is Michel Gondry At His Least Whimsical 29 June 2016 10:58 AM, -05:00 | Indiewire Search for " Interview " on Amazon.Dom Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? More » Taking the time to review typical interview questions you will probably be asked during a job interview will help give you a framework for your responses. Laura Israel and Robert Frank met in the late '80s, when Frank directed New Order's "Ladder" music video and Israel was the editor. But then part of the plot here is that we never quite know how much of what they say is the truth, and how much is manufactured. The more prepared you feel for your upcoming job interview the easier it will be to overcome any nervousness or anxiety you are feeling. Specialist traineeLubricated by alcohol and competitive natures, the interview resumes. "I got my dream.
So if you have a chance, ask good questions of your interviewer. But you need to understand the details in order to succeed.
Interviews can come in three varieties-behavior-based, conversational, and stress-and it can help you to spot the one you're in as soon as possible. Usually, the interviewer will let you know in advance that she is using this format. It is good or it is bad. Be sure to provide examples as often as possible when responding here. Stress interview: In this version, the interviewer is curt and asks rapid-fire questions, an approach meant to raise your anxiety and test your ability to handle stress. Instead, relax.
You can fill in an application form and submit it in the concerned department along with your contact number so that they can contact you whenever there is an opening. This education system is controlled by state government and a very little portion is held by local government, which determines the funding and school system of each municipality. Here's a look at its many causes, and effects. Those with twenty years or more of experience can draw a salary between $65,000 to $95,000. In what follows, I present a generic view about the purpose of having a government, by looking at it, from the perspective of a democracy, which is the most successful form of governance but certainly not the perfect one, known to man. It is important therefore, that business leaders are able to gauge the change in tastes and preferences of customers so that they are better prepared for any eventuality. However, after an increase in the price of pizzas, we may get to buy only 8 pizzas even after shelling out $6. Every changing factors in an economy affect the working of businesses.

May 13th starts what is expected to be the last week of the 2018 legislative session. Bills are moving to and from committees landing on the floor of either the House or Senate to vote on. Many of the bills being discussed are amendments to their first or second pass back between the House and Senate. Below are the topics AGC/VT is working on this week:
S.37 Medical Monitoring- This bill intends to require companies who cause toxic spills and exposures to pay for life long medical monitoring for the victims. The original draft of the bill set the threshold for monitoring based on any type of spill whether permitted or not. The most recent version that passed out of House Judiciary committee cleaned up that language to include only "tortious" conduct which is defined as "negligence, trespass, nuisance, product liability, or common law liability for ultra-hazardous or abnormally dangerous activity". Although the bill has improved significantly AGC/VT has signed a letter of opposition with 34 other industry associations. We also have emailed AGC/VT members to contact their representatives and tell them to vote "no".
S.163 Rental Housing/Home Builder/Remodeler Registration– AGC/VT has been tracking the home builder registration part of the bill. In its current form it requires contractors who work directly for a homeowner for jobs over $2500 (parts and labor) to become registered with the Office of Professional Regulation (OPR). AGC/VT has worked with the department to ensure only properties with 4 or less residential units fall in to the program and subcontractors working for a registered general contractor would not need to be registered. After several committee presentations and meetings the bill is headed to the House floor.
S.108 Attorney General Misclassification Enforcement- This bill started out and passed quickly out of the Senate. AGC/VT and other business organizations had the opportunity to testify before the House Commerce and Economic Development committee. During this testimony AGC/VT expressed concern that the original bill gave people who complained that they were misclassified as independent contractors could initiate complaints with Department of Labor AND Attorney Generals office who would have been able to conduct separate investigations, potentially different conclusions and two penalties. After 3 times in the witness chair the committee agreed to a number of requirements showing the suspect company to be a repeat offender for the AG to be involved. A separate bill funding VOSHA was added and the whole package is expected to pass.
S.80 Fluorocarbon Prohibition- In line with Federal EPA rules Vermont has begun the process of prohibiting the production and sale of fluorocarbons. While the majority of the bill is focused on refrigeration a section was added prohibiting spray foam and other home insulation that included the chemicals. AGC/VT member Byron Gokey of Wallboard Supply gave testimony to the committee that the chemicals the EPA would allow are not currently available in the market so there would be no replacement if there was a prohibition. He focused on the fact that Vermonts weatherization efforts could be staunched if the prohibition begins before new products became available. The House Natural Resource Fish and Wildlife committee have the bill and are considering an extension.
Minimum Wage and Paid Family Leave- Both of these bills are being negotiated at the moment. House Appropriations has extended the $15 minimum wage out two more years to 2026. The paid leave plan has changed who can benefit, landed on using a third party insurer and that companies offering plans already that meet or exceed the proposal may be exempt from the program. These bills are in heated debate and it is unknown whether they will pass, and/or be subject to a veto.
With no vetoes yet if the session ends this week they will come back next year. If there are vetoes there will likely be a "veto session" during the first weeks of June.

The Results of the Midterm Elections
Tuesday, November 5th was election day. People voted on seats in the House of Representatives, the Senate, and governors in some states. Every two years, the entire House of Representatives, which Republicans previously held the majority in, is up for election. Republicans also held the majority in the Senate, and a third of the seats were up for election. Republicans won two seats in the Senate previously held by Democrats, maintaining control of the Senate with some races still to be decided. But, Democrats gained 27 seats in the House, which marks the end of Republican control of the House and the beginning of Democrat control, starting in January.
As for New York specifically, Andrew Cuomo was elected as governor. While New York is usually viewed as a "blue state," this is solely due to high population density in more liberal areas, such as New York City. But this view of New York is only for the city and parts of Long Island, the majority of upstate New York voted Republican. Tom Suozzi, who came to speak at Friends Academy about promoting collaboration between Republicans and Democrats, secured his seat in the House, representing New York's 3rd Congressional District.
This election made history with multiple midterm election records broken. As Business Insider lists, records were broken for early voter turnout, number of candidates, number of women running, number of LGBT candidates running, number of female candidates elected, number of women of color elected to the House, the youngest woman elected to Congress, the first Native American woman elected to Congress, and the first Muslim woman elected to Congress. At least 117 women won seats in Congress.
Notably, 49% of eligible voters participated in the midterm elections, increasing from 37% in the 2014 Midterms. Since 2012, women of color running for Congress increased by 75%. At least 244 LGBT candidates ran for office. As you can see, the list of records broken is extensive, and this year's midterm election has made history.

Belitung, Bangka Belitung (ANTARA) - Presidential Staff Chief retired general Moeldoko confirmed President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) will shortly meet Papua's prominent figures to handle the rioting that had broken out in Indonesia's easternmost provinces of Papua and West Papua.
"(This is) because Mr Jokowi is very close to prominent figures of (Papuan) youth and religious and traditional communities. Hence, certainly, (they) will meet," Moeldoko had noted in Tanjung Pandan, Belitung, here on Saturday.
Papua's condition is showing signs of recovery following tactical measures adopted by the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) commander and Indonesian Police (Polri) chief, he stated.
He called on one and all to not become incited and remain calm.
Moeldoko believes that emotional reactions will give rise to new-fangled problems and make the perpetrators behind the rioting happy, he stated.
Moeldoko backed several parties harboring expectations of the authorities take more stern actions.
However, Moeldoko has appealed to all to not become emotional, as it would also result in wastage of energy.
"For the TNI/Polri, firm action is not difficult, but controlling emotion is quite challenging, so that everything is in order," he added.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank will be able to buy private sector bonds yielding less than its currently -0.5% deposit facility rate under its new, 20 billion euros per month bond purchase scheme, it said on Thursday.
In earlier purchases, only public sector bonds could be bought at yields below the deposit rate.
"This extension takes place with immediate effect and will facilitate the continued smooth implementation of the asset purchase programme and reflects changes in market interest rates relative to the deposit facility rate," the ECB said.

Wendy Wason - Things I ..... - One4Review
After seeing Wendy in the Seven Quid Comedy Show at the Stand I finally got to see Wendy's own show 'Things I didn't Know I Didn't Know'. This yummy mummy didn't know that her Fringe poster pose a copy of Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffanies' actually is that of a high class hooker. There are many other things she has observed recently especially through her kids and close family. Wendy looked stunning in her little black dress and the comedy is fabulous too. A finalist in last years 'Scottish Comedian of the year' is developing a superb unique style of her own and if the boys don't lookout this lady will have them beaten at their own game. ****

Female styling fuels UK wine sales increase
As Unwins unveils plans to expand its dedicated wine retailer Phillips Newman, it will be bolstered by figures revealing that alcohol consumption in Britain is rising.
According to research by Mintel, alcohol sales have increased by 5 per cent between 1999 and 2004, passing the eight billion-litre mark for the five-year period. Figures show that 88 per cent of Britons have had an alcohol drink in the past 12 months, compared to 86 per cent for the French and 70 per cent of Germans.
The rising popularity of alcohol is reflected mainly in wine sales, which have increased by 23 per cent during the past five years. Mintel's report reveals that the number of women consuming wine is rising, contributing to the sales boost.
Brands that have identified this trend have responded with the way they market and promote their products. Wine can be a difficult market for branding, but there is room for improvement in the packaging, according to Nick Verebelyi, director of 3D packaging and branding at Design Bridge. 'The market recognises women as drinkers and consumers and so it is targeting its designs and packaging to reflect this,' he says.
Products such as Sabai wine demonstrate this trend. Launched in July 2004, it has a very strong feminine feel. Designed by Design Bridge, it uses a floral motif and has an oriental theme. According to Verebelyi, the aim was to be 'appealing without patronising women'.
And while women are happy to buy into presentations that are very masculine, men will not be attracted to the overtly female inspired design, says Verebelyi.
The female drinks market had seen other changes: Bacardi Breezers and Smirnoff Ice, originally in 330ml bottles, were downsized with women in mind. 'The 275ml bottles are easier to hold and are relatively discreet,' explains Verebelyi.
There is also an aspirational association with wine. 'Consumers want to be seen with a glass of wine,' explains Hanna Kivimaki, senior analyst for Mintel. 'Beer just doesn't offer the style that image-conscious people want.'
However, alcohol is no longer the first choice of beverage for many in France and Germany, as more people opt for healthier drinks such as water, especially at meal times. The report shows a fall of 6 per cent in alcohol consumption in France and an 8 per cent decline in Germany, and this trend is set to continue, says Kivimaki.
As European consumers start to prioritise a healthy lifestyle, they are being targeted by the 'fresh' packaging of water and water-based drinks (DW 28 July), leaving waning beer and wine sales on the Continent. Wine in France and beer in Germany are increasingly recognised by younger consumers as old-fashioned, especially as many drinkers in France are aged over 55 and male. This is a problem the drinks industry is trying to solve, according to Kivimaki.
The French market needs to look at the ways in which the new world wine industries make their wines more accessible through their overall design, packaging and presentation.
According to Verebelyi, the wines of South Africa and America talk less about the grape and the vineyard, concentrating instead on building a story about the location and culture these wines represent. New world wines are all about occasion, he says.
