Wolf's Lair: Hitler's Infamous Bunker Faces Its Past
by DW
A complex of crumbling former Nazi bunkers in a northeast Poland forest became a Disneyland for selfie-stick wielding tourists. Also the site of an assassination attempt on Hitler, it's now getting a facelift.
The room where Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg tried to kill Hitler on July 20, 1944 is being rebuilt this year as part of a major renovation of the Wolfsschanze, or Wolf's Lair, the bunker complex in eastern Poland where the Nazi leader spent much of the war.
The conference room was devastated in the infamous assassination attempt in which an explosion killed four Nazi officers, but which Hitler survived with light wounds. A thick oak table deflected the blast of the briefcase bomb that Stauffenberg had placed on the floor before leaving the room and travelling back to Berlin.
The renovation project coincides with this year's 75th anniversary of the July 20 assassination attempt. It will feature life-size models of Hitler and all those who were present that fateful day.
"The priority this year is the reconstruction of the meeting room in which Stauffenberg carried out an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Hitler," said Sebastian Trapik, a spokesman for the Wolf's Lair memorial site. In addition to the placement of "symbolic figures depicting those present at the time of the explosion," re-enactments might also be performed, he added.
Only the foundations of the barrack building where the explosion happened remain. Set in dense woods near Kętrzyn in former East Prussia, the site is marked by a memorial to resistance hero Stauffenberg, who, together with three co-conspirators, was shot dead in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock military headquarters in Berlin within hours of the failed assassination.
Ordering the Holocaust
The reconstruction of the Wolf's Lair is the latest in a series of measures aimed at refocusing the historical significance of the site for its 300,000 annual visitors.
Historians and visitors have long condemned the Eastern Front bunker as a ghoulish tourist trap focused more on entertainment than informing people about the fateful decisions taken there. Warsaw Uprising Museum director, Jan Oldakowski, for example, once described the site as a "grotesque Disneyland."
But in the bunkers that now stand cracked and covered in moss like Mayan temples in a jungle, decisions were made to carry out the Holocaust, and to take no prisoners in the crushing of the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944 — when 250,000 Poles were killed.
This important history will be central to the complete redesign of the Wolf's Lair that was launched by the Polish Forestry Inspectorate, which took over the site from a private leaseholder in 2017.
Reflecting on the past
Before the modernization, there was scant historical information apart from some boards with maps showing the main bunkers and a sign explaining the July 20 plot. Private guides were on hand but some of them focused more on technical information, such as the thickness of the walls, rather than on historical context.
The new management has shut down what Sebastian Trapik calls "fairground entertainment," including a ramshackle shooting range where tourists could, for a few cents, fire bursts of pellets at plastic bottles from replica pneumatic MP40 submachine guns. It was housed in the former bunker of General Alfred Jodl, who was hanged at Nuremberg for war crimes. Paintball sessions that used to be on offer here have also been stopped.
Meanwhile, information panels have been installed outside the buildings this month, and a documentary film is now screened in one of the shelters. New exhibitions about weapons and military equipment, and on the Warsaw Uprising, have been opened. A multimedia app for visitors has also been launched.
Trapik says the inspectorate had consulted historians and literature on the site in designing the new exhibitions and information panels, and that visitor numbers were already on the increase. The reconstruction of sightseeing trails and the installation of new lighting this year will also allow visitors to walk around the bunkers at night.
And while tourists can currently spend the night in one of the few intact buildings, a green-painted barracks that used to house SS officers, a new hotel, restaurant, conference room and visitor center will be completed in the next five years.
De facto Nazi capital
After Hitler relocated to his far eastern bunker in June 1941, two days after launching the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Wolf's Lair became the effective capital of the Third Reich. The Nazi dictator spent 850 days at the sprawling site that includes 50 bunkers and 70 barrack buildings, two airfields, a railway station and anti-aircraft batteries.
German military operations on all fronts were directed from the Wolf's Lair, which was home to some 2,000 people. There were eight huge bunkers for the Nazi leadership. Hitler, his secretary Martin Bormann and Hermann Göring had their own, and there was a guest bunker for state guests such as Benito Mussolini and Pierre Laval, the leader of France's Vichy regime.
The roofs were continuously thickened to protect the bunkers from Allied bombs. Hitler's ceiling was eight meters thick in the end.
'Site of the perpetrators'
The Wolf's Lair was evacuated in November 1944 as the Red Army closed in. German engineers tried to detonate all the bunkers in January 1945, however the steel-reinforced concrete was so strong that many buildings remained standing. Today they remain spectacularly mangled in parts, with walls at precarious angles and lumps of masonry hanging from rusted steel wires.
The site is especially significant since few so-called "sites of the perpetrators" remain from the Nazi era. Hitler's Berghof retreat on Obersalzberg mountain in Bavaria, and the Berlin bunker where he committed suicide, were razed at the end of the war.
Historian say that with wartime generations dying out fast, original locations like the Wolf's Lair can, when their history is properly presented, help younger generations comprehend the evils of — and resistance to — the Nazi regime.

29 April 1944 – Luftwaffe Fighters Meet USAAF Bomber Attack
While RAF Bomber Command had finished their campaign against Berlin the 8th USAAF continued with daylight attacks. The RAF would maintain regular night time nuisance raids with Mosquitos, to keep the German capital awake until the end of the war.
The Luftwaffe fighters were doing their best to present a protective screen against the bombers. Since the beginning of the year, they had had to contend with growing numbers of escort fighters, accompanying the bombers 'all the way'. Despite the Allied attacks on the German aircraft industry, they were not short of fighter aircraft. It was the losses of German fighter pilots that was causing the difficulty. Even the most experienced pilots were finding the odds against them were increasing every day. For Luftwaffe ace Heinz Knoke the challenge was especially evident today:
29. April 1944.
Three Bomber Divisions are launching an offensive from the Great Yarmouth area. Our formations in Holland report strong fighter escorts. My orders are to engage the escorting lighters in combat with my Squadron, draw them off and keep them occupied. Other Squadrons of Focke-Wulfs are thus to be enabled to deal with the bombers effectively without interference.
1130 hours: off to the west and below I spot the first vapor-trails. They are Lightnings. In a few minutes, they are directly below followed by the heavy bombers. These are strung out in an immense chain as far as the eye can reach. Thunderbolts and Mustangs wheel and spiral overhead and alongside. Then our Focke-Wulfs sweep right into them. At once I peel off and dive into the Lightnings below. They spot us and swing round towards us to meet the attack. A pack of Thunderbolts, about thirty in all, also come wheeling in towards us from the south. This is exactly what I wanted.
The way is now clear for the Focke-Wulfs. The first of the Fortresses are already in flames. Major Moritz goes in to attack with his Squadron of in-fighters (Rammjaeger).
Then we are in a madly milling dog-fight. Our job is done; it is a case of every man for himself. I remain on the tail of a Lightning for several minutes. It flies like the devil himself, turning, diving, and climbing almost like a rocket. I am never able to fire more than a few pot-shots.
Then a flight of Mustangs dives past. Tracers whistle close by my head. I pull back the stick with both hands, and the plane climbs steeply out of the way. My wingman, Sergeant Druhe, remains close to my tail.
Once again I have a chance to fire at a Lightning. My salvoes register at last. Smoke billows out of the right engine. I have to break away, however. Glancing back, I see that I have eight Thunderbolts sitting on my tail. The enemy tracers again come whistling past my head.
Evidently, my opponents are old hands at the game. I turn and dive and climb and roll and loop and spin. I use the methanol emergency booster, and try to get away in my favorite corkscrew climb. In only a few seconds the bastards are right back on my tail. They keep on firing all the time. I do not know how they just miss me, but they do.
My wingman sticks to me like glue, either behind or alongside. I call him to "Stay right there!" whatever happens. "Victor, Victor," he calmly replies. In what I think could be a lucky break, I get a Yank in my sights. I open fire with all guns, steep climb. Then all his comrades are back again on my tail.
In spite of the freezing cold, sweat pours down my face. This kind of dog-fight is hell. One moment I am thrust down into the seat in a tight turn; the next I am upside down, hanging in the safety-harness with my head practically touching the canopy roof and the guts coming up into my mouth.
Every second seems like a lifetime.
The Focke-Wulfs have meanwhile done a good job. I have seen nearly thirty of the Fortresses go down in flames. But there are still several hundred more of the heavy bombers winging their way eastwards undaunted. Berlin is in for another hot day.
My fuel indicator needle registers zero. The red light starts to flicker its warning. Ten more minutes only, and my tank will be empty. I go down in a tight spiral dive. The Thunderbolts break away.
In a flash, I glance around, and then instinctively duck my head. There is a Thunderbolt sitting right on my tail, followed by seven more. All eight open fire. Their salvoes slam into my plane. My right-wing bursts into flames.
Knoke was shot down but lived to fight another day. See Heinz Knocke: I flew for the Fuhrer: Story of a German Airman for his whole account of this day in action.

Infrastructure, dinamism and access to markets to power logistic activities
Transportation and logistics companies are dependent on transport infrastructure to improve operational effectiveness and drive customer satisfaction. Significant improvements have taken place in the North Pacific, Central Pacific and Caribbean gateways in this regard.
The Port of Caldera in the Central Pacific has had a $55 million investment during the last 8 years. It has increased unload container capacity from 17 to 44 containers per hour and overall productivity has increased 2.5x. It is also quickly interconnected by route 27, through which San Jose's International airport can be reached in a 45 minute drive.
The Port of Limon will receive a $1 billion investment starting in 2015 and over the following years to boost and compliment the region's logistics flows leveraging proximity to the Panama Canal.
With an investment of $35 million, Daniel Oduber's International airport was opened in 2012 and now operates over 120 weekly flights to main cities in the US and Canada including Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, New York, Toronto, and Boston in addition to receiving over 50 private jets every month. Its cargo facility, to become operational in the short term, will further boost the country's aerial exports.Learn more about the country and its location
Skilled talent for efficiency and client satisfaction
In developing economies, transportation and logistics as a sector is growing rapidly but its success depends decisively on the quality and qualifications of its employees. In Costa Rica, 48% of export goods were shipped by sea and 33% by air in 2014. In the next 3 years, exports via air are projected to grow 7.2% and the start of Liberia's Airport cargo operations will add to that growth trend. This is why, Costa Rican talent has the track record and experience to execute diverse functions related to logistics and supply chain.

Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses Returns March 2018
They may have tried Skid Row, Pen Cap Chew, Ted Ed Fred, and Bliss, but on March 19, 1988, the band took the stage with the name "Nirvana" for the first time.
To coincide with the 30th anniversary of their first performance as Nirvana, Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses will finally return to MoPOP March 16!
I'm thrilled to see the world's most extensive exhibition of Nirvana memorabilia come home to its birthplace. Although it was wonderful to share these amazing artifacts with Brazil for the last nine months, the museum has felt like it was missing a little something special during its trip abroad.
More than 200 rare artifacts, photographs, and oral histories will be housed in the exhibition, including several pieces that are new to the gallery. I'm especially excited to see a few artifacts that capture a specific moment in the band's history.
The poster, hand drawn and colored by Cobain, for the March 19 show at the Community World Theater in Tacoma, Washington.
Krist Novoselić's Hiwatt DR103 bass amplifier head, which he used to record the band's third album, In Utero, which has only been displayed in Brazil.
The Fender Stratocaster Kurt Cobain played at the UK's Reading Festival in '92 (and subsequently smashed at the Morocco Shrine Temple in Jacksonville, Florida) will join the exhibition for the first time.
We'll get to see Dave Grohl's Tama Rockstar-Pro drum kit, circa 1992, which is one of several Tama kits he used while playing Nirvana.
Are you excited for the triumphant return of one of MoPOP's most beloved exhibitions? Make sure to join us for the re-opening celebration Friday, March 16!

Nor did the procedure fulfil any unmet medical need. For the child whose genome was edited to confer resistance, the claimed benefit is protection from a virus that she may never encounter (although her father is HIV-positive, his sperm were washed to prevent infection during fertilisation) and for which there is a good, and improving, standard of care. If the reports are correct, the second child has been exposed to the potential risks of an edited genome but can still be infected by HIV.
The idea that one scientist could make the leap towards editing reproductive cells has been condemned, but it has not been ruled out. Even if Mr He turns out to be a fraud, others have the means, the motive and the opportunity to do similar work. CRISPR is not a complex technology. That leads to two responses.

Numerical Simulation on Nanoparticles Integrated Laser Shock Peening of Aluminum Alloy
Document Type
Conference Proceeding
Publication Date
In this paper, numerical simulation of nanoparticle integrated laser shock peening of aluminum alloys was carried out. A "tied constraint" was used to connect the matrix and nanoparticle assembly in ABAQUS package. Different particle size and particle volumes fraction (PVF) were studied. It was found that there is significant stress concentration around the nanoparticles. The existence of nanoparticle will influence the stress wave propagation and thus the final stress and strain state of the material after LSP. In addition, particle size, PVF and particle orientation all influence the strain rate, static residual stress, static plastic strain and energy absorption during the LSP process.

The Space Shot is a ride in West Edmonton Mall's Galaxyland. It is one of the two rides which replaced the spot in which the Drop of Doom resided. The name is a generic name which is used for instances of the ride elsewhere in the world.
The Space Shot ride was developed by S&S - Sansei Technologies, the company also developed the Double Shot ride. Interestingly, Galaxyland's instance of the Space Shot may in fact be a Double Shot, either by conversion or simple name branding (to be more in line with the space theme). Enthusiasts believe this to be true because the riders are fired downward at the top. The generic Space Shot does not have the downward-firing feature, but the Double Shot does.
The ride has a capacity of 12 people. At 120 tall, it is the tallest indoor tower ride in the world. Riders are launched upward, and then downward, multiple times - experiencing alternating positive and negative g-forces throughout.
The entrance area is located on the floor below the main level, along with the entrance to the Mindbender.

A legend from Kyustendil region has it: a poor woman had naughty and always hungry children. She got tired of working for the daily bread, which was never enough for her children; she got tired of being kept responsible for their mischief and cursed them. She herself turned into a welkya (night tawny owl). But then her anger receded and she keeps looking for her children to the present day.
This legend has inspired Theodosii Spassov to write his highly impressive piece Welkya. The mythical, the invisible, the impossible, the unexpected turns into a sound reality. And it seems this is exactly that makes Theodosii Spassov unique. Even in the pronouncedly folk pieces his jokes and musical witticisms surprise and amaze with their rich imagination and "jumps" from one genre to another. The artist feels pleasure to "juggle" with them, to "play" with his kaval. And thus everyone is involved in this game, both the musicians and the listeners!

Cooking up a FeastMalton School
Our Year 11 Food Technology students spent a day in the kitchen working on their GCSE projects creating dishes from around the globe.
FT teacher Justine Warner said the extra sessions meant that the students were able to prepare high quality and more complex recipes which wasn't always easy in their normal lessons because of cooking times.
The FT department recently secured a bid from the PTA for new equipment including mixers and a fridge.
Mrs Warner said: "Food Technology is a fast changing subject with the new GCSE specification starting to focus on food and nutrition science. This does mean an increase in practical sessions being delivered across the school including Key Stage 3.
"The fridge and equipment funded by the PTA will help towards making developmental dishes such as soups for Year 9. The fridge will help to keep food safe as the increase in practicals does mean that more students cook each day. Up to date storage has been an issue often over spilling into another food room."
As the courses develop the department are looking forward to delivering more experimental lessons where with a range of ingredients students can start to understand why particular foods react in certain ways.

What is a Freelancer
Freelancer should be the first term that you need to know to start a freelance business. A freelancer or freelance worker is a term commonly used to describe a person who is self-employed and is not committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients. And, others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work.
Freelancers have a variety of reasons for freelancing. These perceived benefits differ by gender, industry, and lifestyle. For instance, the 2012 Freelance Industry Report reported that men and women freelance for different reasons. Female survey respondents indicated that they prefer the scheduling freedom and flexibility that freelancing offers. Meanwhile, male survey respondents indicated they start a freelance business to follow or pursue personal passions.
Online Freelance Opportunities
Freelancing also enables people to obtain higher levels of employment in isolated communities. Freelancing is also taken up by workers who have been downsized and cannot find full-time employment. Also, for those industries such as journalism which are relying increasingly on contingent labor rather than full-time staff.
How to begin Online Freelancing
To start as a freelancer can be as easy as visiting one of the freelance sites to find work. And, networking within your current sphere of influence to find your first client.
So, to help you take your very first steps toward business prowess, here is a list of terms you should know to start a freelance business.
A brief description about you. What will your readers want to know about you? What will convince an editor or client that you are the right fit for their writing needs? You'll probably want to keep a few versions of your bio handy for work in different subject areas and in different types of pitches to fit different audiences.
It is your name; out there for the entire world to see on the piece you just authored. You're not likely to see a by-line when you write business copy. But, many periodicals will include it, usually right before the body of the article. If it is at the bottom of the article, it's a tagline. Feel free to frame your first one and hang it above your desk — many of us do.
An important thing to start a freelance business is creating a freelance portfolio. It is a document that serves more like a CV. And, it must contains all the information potential clients might want to know. This information may include: contact numbers, working experience, skills, useful websites, educational qualifications, interest and photo of the Freelancer.
Deadline is your due date. Typically your client will give you a deadline. And, if you want to keep them you should never miss a deadline. It's important to always fulfill your client's wants at their specified time.
These are the words you write. This term is more common in business writing than in journalistic writing, but you'll hear it in both fields.
Start a Freelance Business
Taking the plunge into freelancing is scary – we all know that. One of the reasons we're so afraid is that we're great designers. But often know little about running a business. These terms will help you better understand the nature of freelance work.

If you just want to get started without reading any more, just follow these basic steps.
Log in to the Meraki Dashboard. If this is your first Meraki device, create a new account.
Find the network you wish to add your cameras to, or create a new camera network. If a camera option does not appear on the Create Network page, please Contact Meraki Support for assistance.
Add your cameras to the network. You will need the serial number of each camera which can be found at the bottom of the camera or on the box that the camera arrived in.
Unpack your MV.
Connect your MV a PoE wired connection with internet access.
After powering on, your MV will download the latest firmware from the Meraki Cloud and update itself. This process can take up to an hour depending on the speed of your internet connection.
Setup the cameras as desired using the "Configure" section of the dashboard.
You're done! You should now see an live video feed from your cameras on the dashboard.
The camera can get warm in operation. After initial boot, ensure the camera is properly deployed with the included mount plate, which is an important part of cooling the camera.
For model specific information and more detailed instructions, please see our Installation Guides or the instruction pamphlet within your MV box.
Note: It is extremely beneficial to utilize the Meraki mobile app when doing first time deployments.
Note: During first time setup, the camera will automatically update to the latest stable firmware. Some features may be unavailable until this automatic update is completed. After the firmware has downloaded, which could take up to an hour depending on internet connection speed, it may take up to an additional 10 minutes to enable whole disk encryption.

Tropical Storm Beta Air Monitoring

Baytown Exxon Incident UPDATE (August 3, 2019, 3:15 PM):
(Haga clic aquí para ver en español.)
Harris County Pollution Control (PCS), Harris County Fire Marshal (HCFMO), the Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management and other county partners have been responding to the Exxon Baytown Olefins Plant fire since the morning of Wednesday, July 31st.
Based on extensive monitoring, responding county departments have determined that it is now safe to discontinue air monitoring. County air monitoring will cease at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 3rd. The county will continue to coordinate with the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Environmental Protection Agency, and Exxon during their ongoing air monitoring and will resume activities if conditions change.
PCS air monitoring has detected no trace of benzene in the areas outside the facility in the past 72 hours. Readings of .15 ppm were observed at the damaged stack in the plant on Friday. This was prior to the end of Exxon's liquid removal operations. At 5:30 Friday evening, HCFMO investigators entered the same location. Their air monitoring detected no benzene at any point while on-site, through 11:30 this morning.
An experiment by PCS performed at a local fuel station showed benzene levels of 0.125 ppm prior to pumping gas and 0.450 ppm while pumping gas (about 5 minutes). This is far below the OSHA standard for a gasoline fill-up of 5 ppm over 15 minutes. Sampling done in areas away from the station were at 0.0000 ppm. For comparison, the background readings of benzene at a gas station are less than the amount of .15 ppm recorded at the fire site early Friday afternoon.
Exxon issued the all-clear this morning at 8:00 a.m. and the facility reports that all liquid product has been removed from the impacted unit. They are resuming normal operations.
Exxon air monitoring continues to show benzene levels of less than 1 ppm to be isolated at the fire site. This has no impact to other areas of the facility or the community. Flaring may continue over the next one to two days but does not pose a public health risk. As a precaution, Exxon will continue air monitoring until that process is complete in coordination with TCEQ.
Harris County Fire Marshal investigators are conducting a thorough investigation and the Harris County Attorney has taken civil action against the facility to protect the interests of county residents.

"Let It Go" is more than a Frozen anthem for the pre-school set. It's also a hard-core success strategy for giving yourself – and those around you — a truly happy holiday! I saw the power of a few of these little actions in the research for The Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages, but it applies to all sorts of situations. Especially during the Christmas and New Year season, you'll be shocked at the difference if you say and do these four things:
1. "It doesn't have to be done my way." I know I lose many of us right off the bat with that one! At Christmas, we want things to be so special. So we have a vision in our heads for the way we want the lights to be hung, the office party to work, the food to be cooked. But sometimes that means we push ourselves and those around us to do things in a certain way… and at some point it becomes work and frustration. Which means it ceases to be special. In those cases, let go of your notions of "right," back off your vision, and reap the benefits in more fun for everyone.
2. "I'm going to let myself sit down and enjoy this." Yes, there's work to be done. And very often, you can do it later. Don't miss your niece excitedly sharing a long story about the play she's in at her school, or miss a simple coffee with friends, just because you have ten things on your to-do list for the New Year's party. Tell yourself that you don't always have to be the responsible grown-up at every moment.
3. "Let's simplify." Let go of the fourteen things you could be doing, and enjoy the five that you do. On days off of work and school, give yourself permission to just "lie around" and read a book or watch a movie without feeling like you have to be "doing something." Unless you and everyone around you enjoys a constant whirlwind (which, to be fair, some people do!) do not overschedule. You may have a Christmas Eve tradition of Christmas caroling and a visit to the neighborhood party and driving around and seeing the lights… but maybe this year you do one of those each day, instead of three per day. Maybe you say "This year, the Christmas tree is going to have just lights and tinsel instead of all the ornaments." Maybe you turn the family Christmas update letter into a January update. When you start to say, "But…but…!" tell yourself, "Let it go."
4. "I'm not going to let that get to me." For many folks, the holidays mean extended time with family members who push all their buttons. And having those buttons pushed is one of the quickest ways to get stressed and not enjoy the holiday! Solution? Decide in advance that no matter what Uncle Joe says about your cooking or what your step-mom says about politics, that you are going to smile, shrug it off, and not let it bug you. There are many ways to do this (for example, "Sally, I think we're just going to have to disagree") but the bottom line with all of them is that you're refusing to give someone else control over your peace of mind. As one of my friends puts it, "I'm not going to let him bust my peace."
Peace. Joy. Family. Friends. The gift of Jesus. Don't miss what matters most because of holding on to those things that are less important. Let it go. And you'll enjoy this season so much more!

As my blogging buddy Jonathan McLeod has pointed out before, there are some points that candidates put on their CVs that a recruiter typically does not find very useful. I am speaking about your hobbies. However on the same train of thought, I would argue that the OBJECTIVE portion of your CV is a crucial one – but it is often done poorly.
'The objective' is usually the first part of your CV that I read when I am evaluating a resume. I want to see your objective match what my client is looking for. A mistake candidates often make is that they have a generic resume with a generic objective.
This is fine if you do not have any specific titles listed in your object and talk more about your desire to contribute to an organization, develop skills, etc. What you should avoid doing at all costs is having and objective that says "I am looking for an Architect position" and then submitting that resume to a Database Administrator position.
You now have a resume that does not match the job details/client needs and you likely just screened yourself out for that specific position.

I'm craving bright plants and flowers,
Summer sun and bright blue skies,
Hanging baskets
Piled up with blousy flowers
Swiss chard and marigolds
Poppies and antirrhinums
Names that scramble on the tongue
But bloom on the ground.
Days to sit on the patio getting hot,
Or in the summerhouse keeping cool
……. Instead? Rain and wind!

Australia's Home Race Heroes
Australia has had two Formula 1 World Champions; Jack Brabham and Alan Jones. While Australian drivers dominated the pre-F1 history of the Australian Grand Prix, a driver from the nation has failed to finish in the top three at their home event since the race joined the F1 championship in 1985. We take a look back at the origins of the Australian Grand Prix and look at how Australian drivers have fared in their home event.
Australia's Grand Prix history dates much further back than the country's first appearance on the F1 calendar. It's widely accepted that the first 'Australian Grand Prix' was held in 1927, though that race was held under the title of the '100 Mile Road Race'. These first races were held at the Phillip Island Circuit and all eight held there before the Second World War were won exclusively by Australians. After the war, the race moved venues each year, including a few visits to the original Albert Park circuit, and continued to be mostly dominated by drivers from Australia and New Zealand. The only exceptions up to 1979 were victories for British drivers. Stirling Moss took victory at Albert Park in 1956, Graham Hill won at Lakeside Park in 1966, Jackie Stewart finished first at Warwick Farm Raceway in 1967 and Jim Clark won at Sandown International Raceway in 1968.
During the post-war period, Lex Davison became the most successful competitor in the Australian Grand Prix. The Melbourne-born driver took four victories in the race between 1954 and 1961. His tally of Australian Grand Prix wins matches that of Michael Schumacher – the current F1 record holder for most Grand Prix wins in the country – which Sebastian Vettel could equal over the 2019 Australian Grand Prix weekend.
The Australian Grand Prix found a more permanent home at the Calder Park Raceway in the early eighties and Alan Jones' victory there in 1980 remains the last time an Australian has won their home Grand Prix. For the next four years, the race was won by future F1 drivers – three times by Roberto Moreno and once by Alain Prost.
The race finally became a round of the F1 World Championship in 1985, where it held the final race of the season each year up until 1995 at the popular Adelaide Street Circuit. Alan Jones and David Brabham are the only Australian drivers to have competed in the event during this time. Neither had much luck, though. Jones – the only Australian F1 World Champion to have appeared in an F1 race on home soil – retired from both the 1985 and 1986 races with mechanical issues, while Brabham failed to finish on both of his appearances in 1990 and 1994.
The race moved to Albert Park in Melbourne as the season-opening Grand Prix in 1996. It wasn't until 2002 that an Australian competed in the event, with Mark Webber taking part in his maiden F1 weekend with the Minardi team. Webber pulled off a race which would please the partisan crowd, finishing in an unlikely fifth place in the unfancied car. He and team boss (and fellow Australian) Paul Stoddart were invited on the podium after the official celebrations to share the result with the crowd. Webber bettered that result at his home event only once in his career, finishing fourth for Red Bull in the 2012 Australian Grand Prix. When Webber announced his retirement, Red Bull replaced one Australian with another.
Daniel Ricciardo took the vacant cockpit and impressed on his début for the Red Bull team in 2014, starting from the front row and finishing runner-up to Nico Rosberg. The celebrations were short-lived, however, as Ricciardo was excluded from the results due to a breach of the technical regulations. Since then, Ricciardo has equalled Webber's best of fourth position twice, in 2016 and 2018. Ricciardo moves to Renault for the 2019 season, where a podium finish in his first race with the team would be highly unexpected – though the opening race of the season has been known to give the odd surprise result.
Australia's wait for a home winner in Formula 1 continues.
Who has been your favourite Australian Formula 1 driver? How do you think Daniel Ricciardo will fair in his first Albert Park appearance with Renault? Let us know in the comments!

I know there are a lot of start menu programs available for Windows 8 but ViStart deserves a mention here on Winmatrix.
ViStart is one of the oldest start menu program. The application was made by lee-soft especially for Windows XP users to bring Windows 7 style start menu to Windows XP.
It can now be used on Windows 8. The latest version of ViStart 8.1 is compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista and XP.
So how it is better than all the other start menus for Windows 8? Well, there are a lot of custom skins. You can make the start menu flat to match Windows 8 theme, or apply a metro skin, or bring the old XP, Vista or Windows 7 style start menu,

Washoe County, Nevada District Attorney Christopher J, Hicks continues to make a fool of himself as he desperately tries to preserve the murder conviction of Vago Motorcycle Club Member Ernesto Manuel "Romeo" Gonzalez.
Gonzalez (photo above) was convicted of murdering Hells Angels San Jose charter president Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew during the Street Vibrations motorcycle rally in September 2011. Pettigrew died during a brawl between members of the two clubs in John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada. The brawl was instigated by former Vago Stuart Gary "Jabbers" Rudnick. Rudnick then became the state's principle witness against Gonzalez and his former club. Gonzalez was sentenced to a minimum of 28 years in prison in October 2013. He will be 83-years-old when he is first eligible for parole.
One the last day of 2015, the Nevada Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Gonzalez had not been treated fairly and should be retried. In what appears top be an unprecedented move, Hicks (who made $175,514.33 in 2014, the last year for which figures are available, by the way) filed a "Petition For Rehearing" that asked the Supreme Court to reconsider their decision, hold another hearing and let Hicks use all his persuasive powers and erudition to try to get four of the seven high court justices to change their minds. It was a remarkably silly and mendacious petition. It should be part of a required case study in law school to illustrate how bad prosecutors can be. It begged for repudiation and last Thursday Gonzalez appeals attorney Richard F. Cornell filed his "Answer to Petition For Rehearing."
Gonzalez' Answer
Cornell Wrote:
"This case was vetted prior to December 31, 2015 about as thoroughly as a Nevada Supreme Court case gets vetted. We had a 68-page Opening Brief; a 31 page Answering Brief; and a 29-page Reply Brief. We had full oral argument before the Court en banc in early September 20015. And we had a published opinion, no. 99 on the year, agreed upon by all seven Justices, with a finding of four significant trial errors. Intuitively, it would seem that for the State to succeed on a petition such as this, it would have to convince at least four of the seven Justices that they were just plain wrong to concur with the Opinion; there were not four significant errors in this case, but only zero, or maybe one harmless error; and accordingly four Justices should change their minds within a matter of months."
The law states: "the Court cannot consider points raised for the first time on a petition for rehearing. And that is so, even if the point is based on a United States Supreme Court case, if that case was in existence at the time of briefing and was not raised at that time." "Similarly, matters presented in the briefs and oral arguments may not be reargued in the Petition for Rehearing. And, rehearings are not granted to review matters of no material consequence." The law "requires the petitioner, when complaining of overlooked material issues of law, to cite to references to the pages in the brief where the petitioner raised the issue in question. And when complaining of the overlooking and misapprehension of a material fact in the record, the petitioner must cite to the appendix where the overlooked fact may be found."
"In this case, Respondent has not followed any of these rules. It has not cited to pages in its brief where it raised the issues it now complains of. It has not cited to the record in terms of facts that the Court overlooked. Rather, it has raised issues either not heretofore raised or thoroughly vetted."
Justice Delayed
"Even more remarkably, the State says nothing in its Petition regarding the first assignment of error, or 'the trial court abused its discretion and violated Appellant's Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment Rights to a fair trial and to due process of law, when it refused to address the jury's request for supplemental instructions during deliberation that implicated the heart of the case and the elements of the charged offenses.' The Court easily could have reversed on that error alone. As the Court indicated, the issue of conspiracy to murder went to the heart of the charged offenses. The gravity of the crime charged is extreme, and the character ofthat error is very substantial. Thus, even if the Court were to agree with the State on every other contention, it would not matter."
"A petition for rehearing cannot be filed for the apparent purpose of delay, and with the improper result – if not the intent – of subjecting the appellant to further odium. This, we fear, is exactly what has happened here. Mr. Gonzalez remains a resident of the Department of Corrections, High Desert State Prison. He cannot return to the Washoe County Jail, an unconvicted felon, until this Court issues its remittitur. This Petition for Rehearing, which must be denied, subjects him to further public odium."
The Homicide
"The video in this case indeed corroborates the fact of a homicide. But homicide committed in defense of others is a lawful homicide. And that is what the video shows. The undersigned has studied it. The video – which this Court has in its possession – shows the homicide victim, Pettigrew, a member of the Hells Angels, with his gun out (albeit not in 'execution Style') and kicking a Vago, Wiggins, in the head. It also shows Villagrana, the codefendant and also a Hells Angel, with his gun out after having shot Garcia, also a Vago, in Garcia's stomach. And it shows all of this prior to Appellant discharging he fatal gun shots."
"What turns this from a justifiable homicide, theoretically, into a murder is Rudnick's highly controverted testimony of Pastor Palafox's 'green light' direction in the Vagos International meeting a few hours prior. That testimony is not only uncorroborated, it is severely impeached. Yet, that severely impeached testimony is the linchpin of the State's case. And unquestionably, per the charging document, Rudnick is an accomplice – just as the Court stated in (its)Opinion.This issue has been vetted to death. There simply is no lawful reason to revisit it."
"At its heart, this case is quite simple: Rudnick stupidly and drunkenly started the fracas over a perceived personal slight to him and him alone; Pettigrew and Villagrana elevated the fracas with extreme violence; and before Wiggins could be stomped to death or Garcia could die, Appellant ended it. Nothing that happened in places such as Scotts Valley, Arizona, or Chino, California in any way could possibly be relevant to motive in this ease."

Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) staff and physicians are preparing for the move of patients on Sunday, September 29 to the new Jim Pattison Children's Hospital (JPCH), as scheduled. All pediatric, maternal and emergency services remain inside the Royal University Hospital (RUH) until that date.
"When we open, Saskatchewan children, youth and pregnant women will have access to safe, high quality care because of the hard work of the clinical and operational staff and physicians who have helped make this new maternal and children's hospital a reality," said Corey Miller, SHA's Vice President of Provincial Programs. "While there is a significant amount of work to ensure we can safely move some of our smallest, sickest patients into this state-of-the-art facility, we are ready to do that on September 29 as planned."
For more than two years, hundreds of SHA clinical leaders and staff have been working through a review process of the new space. As well, clinical teams have also been training in their new areas since the SHA received ownership of the new building this spring. This has included rehearsing scenarios, and refining processes and procedures. These activities have been designed to ensure the space at JPCH provides an optimal care environment.
"The past months have been critical in giving us the time to make improvements in advance of opening," said Dr. Ron Siemens, SHA and College of Medicine's provincial head of pediatrics, and pediatric emergency physician. "Now, as we get ready to actually move, we are asking for the public's help in giving us the space and time we need on September 29 to safely transport our patients between the two hospitals. For those who will be in the hospital, we will be asking families to consider having only one or two support people present, if that is possible, during the move to minimize distractions."
As of 6 a.m. on September 29, pregnant women who go into labour or require urgent pregnancy-related care should come to Jim Pattison Children's Hospital and go to the Maternal Care Centre on the third floor. There is a drop-off zone in front of the main doors on the top deck of the parkade.
"We appreciate everyone's support and are looking forward to continue providing excellent family-centred care in this new hospital," said Dr. Siemens. "It has been a tremendous amount of work to get us to this point where we are ready to open the doors."
Adult and children's emergency services will be opened at the new hospital as of 6 a.m. September 29, but not all patients in the current emergency areas at RUH will be moved; that will be a decision for each individual patient's care team. All remaining patient care areas will be moved during the morning of September 29, and will continue throughout the day.
"Moving critical care, emergency and other hospital services is a very complex process," said Miller. "We need everyone involved in this move to be focused on our patients, and we will be supporting our teams in doing what is best to maintain safe care. Thank you to everyone for their understanding, and for the public's co-operation, during what will be a busy and important day for our patients and our teams."
Updates on the move and additional information can be found on the Saskatchewan Health Authority website at
saskhealthauthority.ca. Families wanting information about the location of their loved one during September 29 can call RUH Switchboard at 306-655-1000.
The SHA is also reminding the public and patient visitors that touring care areas before or after opening is not allowed in order to maintain clean and safe patient care areas and protect patient privacy. Those interested in seeing what the new hospital looks like are encouraged to
watch a tour video created by the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital Foundation.

Day 3 in Cairns was also our final day before jumping back on a plane to Brisbane (and for me, driving another 2hrs home to Toowoomba). How sad it is that all good things must come to an end. Marc and I checked out of our hotel, dropped our bags at the concierge and wandered back down The Esplanade. It was reminiscent of our Day 1 explorations and we took the same route but stopped a bit further, this time at Coast Roast Coffee. After our stupendous amount of eating on Day 2, neither of us were in the mood for anything too heavy. Cafe food was agreed upon and this was where we ended up.
Coast Roast is located on the corner of a T intersection. It has a spacious outdoor dining area, which is where we parked our behinds for lunch that day. Sticking to the theme of 'nothing too heavy', we both went for a toasted focaccia and a cup of coffee. Coast Roast offers a variety of other cafe classics such as salads, sandwiches and burgers.
The Siciciliano - toasted focaccia with roast turkey, tomato, mozarella cheese, avocado and cranberry sauce
My focaccia was called The Siciciliano (try saying that out loud 3 times fast) and contained roast turkey, tomato, mozarella cheese, avocado and cranberry sauce. The focaccia was more like a bun and it wasn't toasted enough. Other than that, it didn't taste too bad. There was a simple side salad of fresh tomato, lettuce and onion. I layered some of that into my focaccia to create a super sandwich (inspired by Marc, who thought of it first) and it worked rather well.
The Cozensa - toasted focaccia with ham, sundried tomato, swiss cheese, roast capsicum and spanish onion
Marc's focaccia was called The Cozensa and was filled with ham, sundried tomato, swiss cheese, roast capsicum and spanish onion. Aside from the obvious difference in filling, his focaccia was similar to mine.
We were discussing coffee while we were waiting for food. Marc made a weird comment about how he didn't enjoy drinking coffee at a cafe as much as having it in a takeaway cup because takeaway cups were bigger????? I didn't know what the F he was going on about and mentioned that coffee comes in different sizes, always for takeaway and sometimes even when having it in the cafe (cup vs mug).
Flat white and latte
All that aside (to this day, I still don't know what his point was), the coffee we had 'in' at Coast Roast could not be described as small by any means. It'd be difficult to tell from my photo because both the cup and glass are huge so next to each other, they look normal, but trust me, they were upsized serving vessels for sure.
There's not too much to say about Coast Roast. It's a decent sandwich stop as long as you're not expecting anything too fancy. The service is reasonably fast and the meals are fresh and inexpensive. What's more, the coffees are huge!

According to a recent women's health study, hormone imbalances are quite prevalent in women, with most experiencing an imbalance by the age of 20. The rate of hormone imbalances generally increases with age according to a women's health study. Researchers conducting this womens health study found that there are many symptoms that indicate a hormone imbalance such as headaches, low sex drive, water retention, premature aging and more. As far as treatment of hormonal imbalances is concerned the women's health study suggests consulting your doctor before deciding between natural or prescription treatment methods. Overall the women's health study emphasizes the importance of information in regards to hormonal imbalances.
A Women's Health Study on Hormonal Imbalance
Women have very delicate structures, even if they usually look so tough, and mostly will hardly complain about what they go through unless, it is one of those times of the month when the hormones are yet again all over the place. A women's health study shows that women will experience hormonal imbalance as early as in the 20s. Usually the hormone imbalance will increase with age therefore, you will be able to notice more symptoms until the 50s or so.
A Women's Health Study Reveals How Hormones
Any women's health study on hormones will show you that the women's body has a very delicate balance between estrogen and progesterone. In a normal monthly cycle only estrogen is produced during the first 10 days approximately, if and when ovulation occurs, the ovaries will naturally produce progesterone. On the 28th day levels of both hormones should go down, which causes the menstrual cycle.
In the case that the menstrual cycle occurs without the ovulation taking place will lead to imbalance between estrogen and progesterone as a women's health study proves. It is easy to recognize the symptoms of hormonal imbalances; they are any or all of the following: headaches, dizziness, low or no sex drive, uterine fibroids, weigh gain, water retention and premature aging of the skin.
Treating a Hormonal Imbalance in Accordance to a Women's Health Study
According to a recent women's health study there are many ways to treat and control hormonal imbalances both through natural remedies as well as traditional drugs and medications prescribed by your doctor. As the women's health study suggests, it is important you consult your doctor first in order to determine what are the causes of your hormonal imbalance.
Once you determine the cause you can treat and control any further hormonal related imbalances. However, you need to be aware of the symptoms in the first place in order to recognize and treat them accordingly.
A women's health study shows that even today many women are simply not aware of their own health problems and body functions. Therefore, it is very hard to treat what you don't ever recognize exists.
Information is all around you waiting to be absorbed and utilized. The only way you can have a health body and life is by keeping yourself informed about your own health but also about the possible diseases and natural occurrences that will take place with time and age. Knowledge is the key to leading the happy and healthy life you always wanted. Today more than ever, information is available at your fingertips.

Passwords on the internet are tricky business. You want your accounts to be secure - especially things that can get you in trouble if they get out of your control. But how secure is secure? Chances are, nobody's going to collect your password, if you're surfing with realistic vigilance against phishing scams or using a browser that can detect malware within a website (hooray for modern times!) Sometimes though, even while being perfectly safe, we can unwittingly provide sensitive information to people who will use it to compromise us (i.e. they have that social security card you lost, or a username that they came up with randomly or with spyware.) Still, there are thousands upon thousands of databases out there full of descrambled passwords and there is no way to know if you are included in one of these until it's too late. These two possibilities though, can happen to anyone, and bring a certain set of demands on your password, including:
- It needs to be able to survive a descrambler. "Cats" as a password will not survive, but "mh@11" might, because it's not a word.
- You need to be able to remember it despite websites' different parameters that require any specific combination of: numbers, letters, capital letters, and symbols.
- You need to be able to change it on the fly , to something else you'll remember, that will also survive a descrambler, in case it gets compromised or (oops!) you forget it.
Seems like a recipe for losing memory of your own password, right? Like, under what circumstances would you ever remember a password like "mh@11"?
Recently, NPR published an article about how to create online passwords that stay safer, yet none of the examples they gave were fail-safe. I've decided to reveal my technique taught to me by the great Scott Granneman in my web certificate class in 2003. It beats NPR's technique and it should be used by everyone.
First, a bit on what happens after your password is intercepted. Descramblers work by instantly searching language dictionaries for a combination of letters found in your scrambled or not-scrambled password, and testing what they come up with, in a massive thousands-of-hits-per-minute attack. Is your password "LittleLamb"? It will probably test "LambLittle" and "LittleLamb" and then you're toast. Chances are better if you go with "Litt1eL@mb" but don't count on it, as password descramblers are actually powered by (mal-intented) humans who will adjust their programming in their systems to beat these techniques as they arise. Its best if your password appear completely scrambled in its password state, and so if any significant phrases come from it at the time, they will be false, and the descrambler will move on.
Scrambling your password
The best technique I have ever learned for using and remembering a scrambled password is the following:
- Think of your favorite song, or the first song that comes to mind. Use a song that has words that you understand and letters from your language, no piano concertos or old Norse.
- Think of your favorite line from that song. I will use "Mary had a little lamb".
- Take the first letters from each of these first words. You have "mhall." You now have a password that appears to be scrambled, that you can easily remember, because you can repeat that line of the song to yourself in case you forget.
- Adjust this password to meet the password demands of the site you are using. For example, "mh@LL" or "MH@11" will work at sites where the password needs numbers, symbols, caps you name it.
- If you do ever lose security over this password, you can simply move to the next line, "Its fleece was white as snow." Rinse, repeat.
Using this technique enables anyone to use a much more secure web password without forgetting it, ever. For maximum security, always check the address bar of the site you are entering your password into for extended urls. The last two segments of a url "[anything].[this-segment].com" are the actual root domain of the website you are at. Don't trust email renderings of internet addresses, because they can easily http://write.anything.com and send you somewhere else. Keychain access for mac users also provides a memory-proof storage bank for your passwords - just make sure your administrator password is easily remembered. Make sure a "Https://" is used when you are issuing credit card numbers, and that the site is what you want. Most of all, trust a hunch!!

They say you should never work with animals or children; they're unpredictable, uncontrollable…and sometimes unmovable. Here are 5 times when animals ran rampant on the roads:
When cows got onto the M1 in Belfast and closed things down during the morning rush hour – udderly disgraceful! Police managed to mooove them along and the farmer was contacted.
Have you heard the one about a Spanish Farmer who lost his sheep…? apparently they were due in a new pasture in the morning but became impatient for their new home and left at 4am while the farmer was sleeping…
Stop Lion around! Commuters in South Africa saw how Lions can stop traffic DEAD when they witnessed 2 lions make a kill in the middle of the road, not something you'd want to interrupt or you might be more than a little late for work.
From Large to Little with these ducklings getting a police escort to get them out of harms way
And finally when the circus animals escape; Hippopota-loose! This guy was spotted near Huevla in Spain having made his bid for freedom, maybe we'll see a re-run on his next attempt as he was returned to the circus for entertainment duty.
But we still haven't answered that age old question…Why DID the chicken cross the road??

Minnesota health officials reported nine deaths from COVID-19 on Tuesday, June 19, bringing the total number of deaths from the virus in the state to 1,313.
The Minnesota Department of Health reported one death each in Clay, Crow Wing and Sherburne counties, two in Ramsey County and four in Hennepin County. Seven of the nine deaths were among residents of long-term care.
Continuing a downward trend in cases and deaths in recent days, health officials reported 197 new cases of COVID-19. The new cases were spread out among 41 counties, with most counties reporting numbers in the single digits.
Tuesday's total is the first since mid-April for daily new case totals below 200. The state conducted 6,494 tests Monday. The state has now tested almost 430,000 Minnesotans for COVID-19.
The number of patients in ICU settings for COVID-19 continues to drop. As of Tuesday, the state reported 185 patients in ICU settings with COVID-19 and another 172 patients hospitalized in non-ICU settings with the illness.
North Dakota
The North Dakota Department of Health announced 23 new cases of COVID-19. Nine of the new cases Tuesday came from Cass County, which includes Fargo and West Fargo. The county now has had 2,067 known cases, but the department reports that more than 85% of the residents who once had the illness in the county have recovered. About 55% of the currently infected North Dakotans reside in Cass County, but the county's share of the state's active cases has dropped dramatically in the last two weeks.
Nine new cases came from Burleigh County, which encompasses Bismarck. The county now has 44 active cases, the second most in the state.
The other five new cases Tuesday came from Grand Forks, McLean, Morton, Ransom and Walsh counties.
The department says 74 North Dakotans have died from the illness, all but 12 of whom were residents of Cass County. Fifty-six of the deaths have come in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The department has not reported a new death from the illness since Thursday.
South Dakota
COVID-19 positive cases statewide increased by 38 from Monday, according to the South Dakota Department of Health.
The total number of positive cases overall as of Tuesday is 5,966. Total recoveries are now at 5,069, up 108 from Monday. Two more deaths were reported Tuesday, bringing the death toll to 77.
A man and woman died, one in the 50 to 59 age range and one in the 70 to 79 age range. One death was reported in Minnehaha County and the other in Pennington County.
There are 92 people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the state, down one from Monday.
A total of 23,198 positive cases of COVID-19 were reported in Wisconsin on Tuesday, according to the state Department of Health Services.
A total of 703 people have died COVID-19, an increase of nine deaths from Monday.
Around the region
North Dakota ranks among the top states in the country in COVID-19 testing per capita, but the state's capacity to test residents has outgrown demand for testing, Gov. Doug Burgum said. In an effort to boost demand, Burgum announced last week state and health officials would begin holding testing events open to the public in the state's largest metro areas. Officials ran two free events in Fargo last week and will hold more over the next two weeks. Similar events will be held in Bismarck and Minot this week and Grand Forks next week.
The father of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. has died of complications from COVID-19, the congresswoman announced Monday night, as the pandemic continued to touch the lives of members of Congress and their families. Close to a dozen members of the House and the Senate have tested positive for COVID-19 or coronavirus antibodies, and other lawmakers have lost family members during the pandemic.
A large, controlled trial within the United Kingdom has determined that a cheap, common steroid known as dexamethasone cut deaths among ventilated patients with COVID-19 by one-third. The Oxford University RECOVERY trial (Randomized Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy) is an evaluation of six major treatments under consideration for treatment of the illness, including convalescent plasma, AIDS drugs, antibiotics and hydroxychloroquine (an arm of the 11,500-person trial that has since been stopped for lack of effectiveness).

I can't help it.
On the shelf at home, I have a bowl full of
plastic goodies. And an
array of textured glass vases next to it, purchased
over different occasions. A sketch book, full of
humble attempts and self-portraits, erasers, 10 or so
pencils with different tips; various stages
of softness and points. Papers.
I need these things.
Piles of the papers: notebooks, cards. Scribbles
and printings and torn out of magazines, words and
words and words. Pictures from catalogs, clippings
galore, happy people, healthy people, pensive, pretty.
You can call me a pack rat, I won't mind.
But I don't think that's what it is. I don't know what
I plan on doing with them, but they appeal to something
inside of me. These are the things that make me wish I
could draw, wish I could sing, wish I could use
photographs to capture emotion. Wish I knew about
interior decorating and colors and evocative and
the words, at least I can use them in some
fashion, cutting and pasting, reworking them in my mind,
the words.
This is my life. Ain't it pretty?

Joe Jackson Brings Wrongful Death Suit Against Dr. Conrad Murray
Joe Jackson has announced plans to file a wrongful death suit against Michael Jackson's personal doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, for allegedly drinking the night he administered the lethal dose of Propofol to the King of Pop.
According to a document obtained by TMZ, Jackson's lawyer, Brian Oxman, has served Murray with legal papers, claiming he had been consuming alcohol at a strip club prior to treating Michael Jackson that fateful night.
"On June 25, 2009, prior to treating Michael Jackson, defendant was at a 'strip club' called 'Sam's Hofbrau' in Los Angeles where he had been 'drinking," Oxman said. "It was reckless for him to 'drink' prior to administering anesthesia to Michael Jackson. He concealed his conduct from Michael Jackson."
The document states that Michael was "confused, easily frightened, unable to remember, obsessive, and disoriented" due to the combination of drugs prescribed by Murray, whose behavior is referred to as "inhuman" and "an extreme violation of the standard of care." In his defense, Murray contends that the allegations against him are "utter nonsense." A rep for his defense further dismissed the claims, saying that "he does not drink," and that he couldn't have been at the strip club because "in the weeks before Michael died, Murray barely had time to take a shower."
Jackson reportedly served Murray with the documents on March 27, 2010, but was forced to wait 90 days before bringing the suit to court, according to California state law.
The 90-day term will be up on June 25, the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death.

I recently had the opportunity to go to TWF Live 2018, a fantastic event in Atlanta organized and hosted by The Wholesale Formula. It's a three-day educational program for their students, who are all levels of sellers on the Amazon marketplace. It was an awesome event for everyone, especially for the eComEngine team because we got to talk to so many of you and learn about your Amazon journeys. I'm going to tell you a little bit about The Wholesale Formula, the people behind it, and the event itself.
Dan Meadors and Eric Lambert, childhood friends, started selling on the Amazon marketplace in 2011. They had just $600 as starting capital that they spent on discounted products at local stores. In a word, retail arbitrage. They turned their focus to finding wholesale suppliers to scale their business, and soon quit their full time jobs to focus on selling full time. Today they are ranked among the top 200 Amazon FBA Sellers, have generated over $20,000,000 (that's a lot of zeroes!) in sales on the Amazon marketplace and have sold over 500,000 products. Somewhere along the way, they realized they'd developed a pretty special system that allowed them to find replenishable items that would keep their business growing and thriving.
A word about Dan and Eric. They are NICE guys. When they realized they had developed a repeatable system for succeeding as FBA sellers, they developed The Wholesale Formula, so they could teach others to be successful too. Their team grew (shout out to Dylan, Justin and Joel!) and in addition to their course, The Wholesale Formula, they began hosting TWF Live to enhance their students' resources and knowledge. They also provide awesome networking opportunities at their annual event, TWF Live.
Because Dan, Eric many others in The Wholesale Formula group use RestockPro to help automate their supply chain, we were invited to sponsor the TWF Live event so we could educate attendees about the benefits of using RestockPro.
"RestockPro helped us gauge our reorders. The problem was that we would see spike and drop, and we'd run out of products. Now, we're keeping our products in stock better." -Dan Meadors
RestockPro makes life easier for FBA sellers who deal mainly in replens. It helps save time when making decisions about what to restock and when, and even helps seller grow their profits. Many of The Wholesale Formula's students are users, so we also helped them optimize their accounts. And we shared some of our newest features such as updated purchase order saving, improved order searching and more options for resizing grids. That's why my colleague and friend, Sean Shanahan, attended with me. Sean is the Customer Success Advisor for RestockPro and I like to call him "The Doctor." He had several account optimization appointments over the course of the event, while I (as usual) evangelized RestockPro and our other software tools for Amazon Sellers.
Sean said, "I had the opportunity to do short account reviews with several of the sellers who attended the event. I also enjoyed talking more generally to sellers about the specifics of RestockPro."
There were more than 300 sellers at the event. Every attendee I spoke with talked about how great the content was, how engaged they were and how glad they were to be there. That's saying something!
In addition to the amazing content the TWF team provided, there were a few speakers who really added value to the event. Successful sellers and TWF alumni Ian Bower, Cheryl Breitman and Aymeric Monello told their inspirational stories of success as students of The Wholesale Formula. Mastin Kipp, author and public speaker, riled the crowd up, and Trent Dyrsmid, serial entrepreneur and self-made multi-millionaire, told his remarkable story of building up million dollar businesses. It was clear that everyone at the event got a lot of value from it.
This was my second year attending TWF Live and I really believe in what The Wholesale Formula teaches, because I've talked to so many people who have taken the course and become successful sellers. This event was exciting because the attendees were so engaged. They were there to learn, and they were excited about the content and the opportunity. The energy was amazing, and I can't wait for next year.
