Internal feud shakes French sugar group Tereos as markets plunge
PARIS/LONDON, Dec 4 - French cοoperative Tereos, the wοrld's secοnd largest sugar maker, is holding extraοrdinary electiοns to its membership cοuncil this week which the farmer-owned grοup hopes will end an internal feud at the debt-laden grοup already struggling with an industry-wide slump.
A sharp fall in sugar prices in the Eurοpean Uniοn has triggered a crisis in the industry that has also hit rivals such as Suedzucker, Nοrdzucker and Associated British Foods .
Fοr Tereos, the impact of low sugar prices has been particularly harsh due to the cοmpany's heavy debt burden and deep expοsure to sugar.
Tereos pοsted a loss last seasοn and is likely to recοrd anοther in 2018/19, weighed down by its Eurοpean sugar activities, Chief Executive Alexis Duval told Reuters.
As cοncern over Tereos' financial situatiοn grew amοng its 12,000 members, 70 out of 172 elected members of the Council of Regiοns quit over the summer to prοtest at management strategy. Council members are designated by cοoperative members to represent them at Tereos' general assembly.
The grοup said this week's electiοns to replace them, with results expected οn Wednesday, were an oppοrtunity fοr unity after mοnths of public wrangling.
"Make nο mistake ... the temptatiοn to pit Tereos people and regiοns against each other and the chimera to turn in upοn ourselves, are deadly pοisοns fοr our cοoperative," Francοis Lerοux, chairman of Tereos' supervisοry bοard, told cοoperative members in a letter last week.
Tereos held 15 regiοnal meetings in October to answer cοoperative members' cοncerns, fueled by two anοnymοus letters abοut the grοup's "critical" financial cοnditiοn and an internal rebelliοn by three resigning bοard members.
The cοmpany has been under pressure to reduce its 2.35 billiοn eurο debt burden and bοost cash as it looks to offset losses frοm its sugar operatiοns, which accοunt fοr nearly half of revenues, with the rest mοstly frοm ethanοl, starch and sweeteners.
"Tereos has been grοwing a lot ... but it was mοstly funded by internal cash flows οr frοm debt. Because as a cοoperative, they cannοt raise equity," said Maxime Puget, directοr at S&P Global Ratings, which rates Tereos' bοnds.
"They have high levels of debt due to previous acquisitiοns and they have never been able to de-leverage and that's their prοblem."MINORITY STAKE
Tereos said in June it was cοnsidering selling a minοrity stake to help it cοntinue grοwing abrοad and diversifying its activities. It is due to unveil initial details of its capital increase arοund Spring next year.
Tereos' fast expansiοn, nοtably in Brazil where it is the third largest sugar maker, has left many of its French sugar beet farmers frustrated because they have received little return frοm it.
"We feel we need to change strategy away frοm internatiοnalisatiοn and expansiοn at all cοsts because that's where debt came frοm," Benοit Mazure, 44, a grοwer in the Beauce regiοn South of Paris.
Three fοrmer members of Tereos' supervisοry bοard voiced strοng cοncern abοut the grοup's future over the summer, asking fοr mοre details and transparency.
They were expelled frοm the cοoperative fοr defamatiοn in August, a mοve seen as extreme by many members.
In prοtest, the dissidents launched a petitiοn in September they say gathered over 2,500 votes to request an extraοrdinary general meeting.
"Reflectiοn abοut the grοup's future has been seriously slowed down by this fight," said a seniοr Tereos employee who asked nοt to be named. "Plus, it doesn't make the grοup very attractive fοr a capital increase."
Industry sources told Reuters that a representative of Tereos' supervisοry bοard had apprοached Germany's Nοrdzucker this summer to pοtentially seek capital thrοugh a tie-up. Tereos denied that the supervisοry οr the management bοard had cοntacted the German cοmpany. Nοrdzucker declined to cοmment.
"Tereos has nοt cοntacted pοtential investοrs who can participate in this prοject today. Neither directly nοr indirectly. Because we will have to do some study first and because it is a prοject fοr the future. There is nο rush," Duval said.
Eurοpean sugar cοmpanies' prοfits have plunged as wοrld sugar prices fell to their lowest in a decade this year amid a surge in supplies, partly driven by mοre output frοm the EU after it scrapped expοrt and output quotas last year. .
Germany's Suedzucker, the wοrld's leading sugar maker, slashed its earnings fοrecast οn expectatiοns that sugar prices will fail to recοver in the near-term. The grοup, however, carries less debt and as a publicly listed cοmpany has been able to raise cash thrοugh equity markets.
Sources with knοwledge of the cοmpany say it is unlikely Tereos will find a partner οr gο public until sugar prices rebοund significantly.
Sugar was trading at $351 a tοnne οn Tuesday mοrning, up 17 percent frοm the low touched in August but still well below the $510 traded at the same time in 2016.
"With sugar prices at $500 οr $600 we would nοt be in the mess we are today," said Etienne Clabaut, οne of the Tereos supervisοry bοard members who left in July. "There is a danger but we can still bοunce back."

List of Australian birds
From Academic Kids
Australia has about 800 species of bird, ranging from the tiny 8 cm Weebill to the huge, flightless Emu.
To the visitor from the northern hemisphere, many will immediately seem familiar - Australian wrens look and act very like northern hemisphere wrens, Australian robins seem to be close relatives of the northern hemisphere robins - but in fact the majority of Australian passerine birds are descended from the ancestors of the crow family, and the close resemblance is misleading: the cause is not genetic relatedness but convergent evolution.
For example, almost any land habitat offers a niche for a small bird that specialises in finding small insects: the form best fitted to that task is one with long legs for agility and obstacle clearance, moderate-sized wings optimised for quick, short flight, and a large, upright tail for rapid changes of direction. In consequence, the unrelated birds that fill that niche in the Americas and in Australia look and act as though they were close relatives.
Very broadly speaking, Australian birds can be classified into four categories:
- Long-established non-passerines of ultimately Gondwanan origin, notably emus, cassowaries and the huge parrot group.
- Passerines peculiar to Australasia, descended from the corvid family, and now occupying a vast range of roles and sizes. Examples include wrens, robins, Magpies, thornbills, pardalotes, the huge honeyeater family, treecreepers, lyrebirds, birds of paradise and bowerbirds.
- Relatively recent colonists from Eurasia, including swallows, larks, thrushes, cisticolas, sunbirds, and some raptors.
- Birds recently introduced by humans: some, like the European Goldfinch and greenfinch coexist happily, others such as European Common Starlings, Blackbirds and sparrows and the Indian Mynah are destructive vermin.
For a comprehensive listing, see the list of Australasian birds, which includes the birds of Australia, New Zealand, and the Southern Ocean.

New Gwadar Airport will be the biggest airport of Pakistan
Gwadar Port Authority Chairman Dostain Khan Jamaldini said that the work on new Gwadar airport will start soon. The company that has been nominated by China for the development of mega Gwadar airport has got the clearance for financing & execution of the project. Once the implementation phase starts, Gwadar will become the hub of international trade in Pakistan. While briefing the 65th meeting of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development, and Reform, Jamaldini disclosed this news relating to the development of new Gwadar International Airport.
Furthermore, the China Airport Construction Group Engineering Company's representative Jianxin Liao informed a journalist that the New International Airport in Gwadar will be the biggest airport of Pakistan. It will be situated on 4,300 acres. In comparison to other airports of Pakistan like Karachi airport which is developed on 3,700 acres, new Islamabad International Airport on 3,600 acres, Lahore Airport on 2800 acres, new Gwadar Airport will be the biggest airport in terms of its area.
In January 2018, the soil testing was being done on the land. 90 boreholes out of 300 were completed and it was anticipated that in April the design of the airport will be finalized.
We found a picture on Twitter displaying the design of the New Gwadar Airport which has been finalized.

Coming to the cost of the airport as per Jianxin Liao, "The expected cost of the project is around $ 2billion however it could vary and it will be finalized after completion of testing and the design phase."
Also read: Security concerns raised over the New Islamabad Airport
We have seen in the past how a cost is decided for a project and then it is increased by a huge amount when the development phase starts like in the case of New Islamabad International Airport. The cost was increased of the airport, the dates for the launch got delayed but now finally the airport will inaugurate on 20th April 2018.

AUSTIN, Texas — It is now illegal to send unsolicited nude photos on dating apps if you live in Texas.
According to FOX 4, state lawmakers teamed up with the popular dating app "Bumble" to help create the new law.
"They had a number of people who were using the app complaining about the sending of these images and they quickly realized there was no recourse," said Rep. Morgan Meyer. "There was nothing that could be done. It wasn't a criminal offense – although it was definitely digital sexual harassment."
The TV outlet reports that under the new law, electronic transmission of sexually explicit material will be a Class C misdemeanor with a fine of up to $500 if the person who received it didn't give consent.
The law applies to those who send nudes through text, email and social media as well.
Bumble's Chief of Staff, Caroline Ellis Roche, said she hopes to eventually make this a federal law.

And btw, I'm from BC as well, so hello fellow BCer! :lol-sign:
Can I just say, Silver, your training instincts are really great. It sounds like you're coming from a behaviorial psychology background, which makes me happy to see.
I think that you would really enjoy clicker training. Instead of "BAH"ing your dog for bad behaviors, you're "Clicking" your dog for good behaviors. There's a lot of theory behind it that I think you'd also be inerested in learning about. In addition to the books suggested already, Karen Pryor's "Don't Shoot the Dog" is a great one to start with for clicker training, it's probably one of the best animal training manuals out there. "The Power of Positive Dog Training" is also a good one.
No advice on the trainers but a bit HELLO from Surrey. And welcome to chaz. Your pup is GORGEOUS. And shiny. What are you feeding

For entrepreneurs and businesses who want to start selling a product or service in the internet, WordPress is a great way to start your online store.
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) used by more than 30% of the top websites. It's the most popular website management system in the world with good reason. WordPress uses a web template system and a plugin architecture that makes it easy to build your own system and add the features and functionality you need.
For businesses, you spend less time and resources building a website, and more time building your business.
Finding success selling online, or ecommerce, requires more than a great product, you need the right tools. We'll look at what you need in a WordPress ecommerce plugin, and then show you our pick for the best WordPress ecommerce plugin.
What to Look for in WordPress Ecommerce Plugins
Ecommerce, or "electronic commerce" is buying and selling items, both physical and digital, online. It's a rapidly growing business, as many are turning to the internet for shopping rather than brick and mortar stores.
Just like a physical store, successfully selling a product requires more than a shop. While website management systems like WordPress can help a company put their product on the internet, there are a few other items to consider before you launch your business online:
- Payments: No matter what you are selling, your customers need a way to pay. Electronic payments eliminate the need for mailing checks and money and provide more security for you and your customers.
- Product Display: You'll need a system that connects, or integrates, with the other system you'll be using to sell your product. This includes your WordPress website. For example, when someone selects a product on your website, the integration should initiate the process in the WordPress ecommerce plugin to complete the transaction.
- Managing Inventory: Just like a brick and mortar store, you need a way to accurately manage your inventory. For physical products, this may work like a warehouse management system (WMS). For digital products, such as a subscription, you'll need a platform to safely control and manage use.
- Shipping and Delivery: Once a customer purchases your product, you need an efficient way to deliver it to them – a fulfillment process. Even for online products, you need a delivery mechanism.
WordPress ecommerce plugins should manage these core requirements, in addition to the other requirements you have for your business.
The Best WordPress Ecommerce Plugin
As more customers look to the web for shopping, and businesses reach out to those customers to sell products, software companies will provide options for WordPress ecommerce plugins.
Many ecommerce plugins target niche markets. They offer specialized functionality to differentiate themselves from the competition. Due to this specialization, and the inability of many WordPress ecommerce plugins to integrate with other systems or support the evolving needs of online business, we selected WooCommerce as the best WordPress ecommerce plugin.
Benefits of WooCommerce, Best WordPress Ecommerce Plugin
WooCommerce was purchased by Automattic, the company that owns the WordPress blog hosting service in 2015. Since then, the company has continued to support the plugin addons, themes, and a deep connection to the WordPress platform.
It has become most widely used WordPress ecommerce plugin, with a passionate developer and user community that continues to push and improve the product. Here are three critical reasons you should use WooCommerce:
1. Flexible Options for Ecommerce Transactions
WooCommerce supports not only physical sales, but also digital products and downloads. The software offers a complete inventory management system to handle physical products and includes integration tools for download options. WooCommerce even includes support and functionality for affiliate and external products.
2. Rich Support and Integration with WordPress
Adding new features or looks for your ecommerce site is easy with WooCommerce. With hundreds of themes and extensions available for WooCommerce, and more are being added almost daily, you can find exactly what you need. Updates for WooCommerce are centered on WordPress, so you know the product will continue to support WordPress in the future.
3. Extensive Product Support and Documentation
If you have a problem or need help with WooCommerce, support is never far away. In addition to a supportive community of users and developers, WooCommerce offers an entire library of online documentation, as well as a help desk, ticket system and contact information.
Getting Started with WordPress Ecommerce Plugins
There are no WordPress ecommerce plugins currently on the market that offer the mix of functionality, support and flexibility that WooCommerce does.
Even so, WooCommerce may not be the best solution for every business.
Determine your requirements before selecting your ecommerce plugin. Identify what your top priority will be. Use those requirements as the basis for your selection process. You may find a product that meets your needs better than WooCommerce.

super warm and soft...can't wait for fall to get here to start wearing it. Extra large hood for all over protection from the cold wind
This is by far my favorite sweatshirt! I love the way it fits, the color, and it's so soft. I really like the neck line. You've done an outstanding job on the design and detail.
BTW, the first day I wore it, my two friends got on your site and ordered the exact same one :).
My girls were so excited to get these! They are beautiful, and the fabrics are wonderful. Love that they are Michigan made.
I bought every color i love this hoodie so much! Fits great and washes perfect. It arrived in 4 days! So happy with Livnfresh.
I am a Realtor and purchased 2 for my clients that purchased a Lake front home. It is very thick material that will last a long time. The sizing seem to be accurate as well. Definitely recommending these to other agents.

The Federation of European Motorcyclists' Associations
Sep 12, 2012
Irish Bikers will take to the streets to protest new EU regulations
Irish riders will take to the streets in opposition to an EU proposal which seeks to extend roadworthiness testing to motorcycles, based on flawed figures presented by the EU Commission. MAG Ireland, the organiser of the demo, is disappointet that the Commission has ignored a petition against the inclusion of motorcycles in periodic technical inspection programmes which gained over 110,000 signatures from riders across the EU (including Irish riders), and which was delivered to Brussels on 15th October 2011 by FEMA.
FEMA member MAG Ireland reports:
The EU Commission proposals (which also include caravans, trailers, and so called "fast tractors") will inevitably mean substantial hikes in the cost of an NCT Test for motorists, given the huge costs involved in procuring equipment and training operatives to handle motorcycles compared to the relatively small number of motorcycles on Irish roads. In fact the RSA claims that motorcycles account for about 2% of all road traffic in Ireland.
Worse still, the EU Commission claims 8% of motorcycle accidents have technical failure of the motorcycle as a contributory factor, when the true figure as revealed by the MAIDS Study is just 1.6%. The EU Commission is therefore trying to solve a problem which doesn't actually exist and even it did, would affect only a very tiny fraction of the total number of vehicles on Irish roads. Even the RSA agrees that technical problems on motorcycles are not a road safety issue.
That's not the only problem with these proposals however. They completely fail to take into account that as many as three out of four riders own more than one motorcycle, a fact backed up by MAG Ireland's own survey earlier this year, and a fact which would make it prohibitively expensive for Irish riders.
The proposals are being pushed forward despite a petition against the inclusion of motorcycles in periodic technical inspection programmes which gained over 110,000 signatures from riders across the EU (including Irish riders), and which was delivered to Brussels on 15th October 2011 by FEMA.
MAG Ireland is organising the "No Con Test" Demo Ride in Dublin on September 22nd, and we need your support. Assembly point is Wilton Terrace, Dublin 2 from 11:30 am, with the demo ride getting underway at 1pm sharp. There will be feeder rides coming in from North (Balbriggan), West (BikeWorld/Long Mile Road) & South (Cornelscourt Shopping Centre), full details to follow.
MAG Ireland's "No Con Test" demonstration is timed to coincide with a series of demos in other EU countries, including a mass rally in Brussels which will see tens of thousands of riders converge on the European Parliament to demonstrate their anger at the EU Commission's complete lack of proportionality.

Indiana has long been a hub for semi-truck drivers using I-465, I-65, I-70, and I-74 as routes to haul freight throughout the Midwest.
And with online retailers like Amazon increasing the need for delivery services, Indianapolis and its surrounding cities are seeing an even larger number of 18-wheelers on our highways and interstates.
According to an Indiana University Public Policy Institute publication, Indiana saw a 5.7% increase in collisions involving large trucks between 2013-17. This same time period also saw an increase in injury and fatalities related to semi-truck incidents.
If a semi-truck accident left you with injuries, it is important to understand why your case is unique and how an experienced accident lawyer can help.
Big Trucks Carry Big Accident Policies
Simply said, semi-truck accidents are largely unique because they often carry valuable insurance policies.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires semi-trucks to have a minimum of $750,000 in coverage. A semi-truck's high-dollar policy means your collision represents a significant liability for the insurance company.
As a result, adjusters will respond quickly and aggressively to reports of semi-truck accidents, no matter the size, location, or number of vehicles involved.
In fact, it is possible that adjusters were at the scene of you accident collecting witness statements and evidence without your even knowing. This is done in an attempt to decrease the percentage of fault assigned to their driver.
Put a Semi-Truck Accident Lawyer on Your Side
There are a number of ways an experienced semi-truck accident lawyer can benefit your claim, each of them significant.
1. Handling a recorded statement
The questions an insurance adjuster asks a semi-truck accident victim may seem innocent, but the truth is there is an art to recorded statements.
Adjusters are trained to ask questions that can easily cause a victim's words to be used against them.
The Boulton Law Group will determine whether or not a recorded statement is even necessary. If so, attorney Boulton will be present when you give your statement, helping to ensure no mistakes are made.
2. Securing evidence
Attorney Boulton can place a hold on the vehicles so that evidence associated with your case is not lost or damaged by tampering.
Additionally, it may be necessary for us to access the semi-trucks log-book and check the number of hours driven between mandated breaks, etc.
Without the appropriate evidence, the value of your case can significantly decrease or be outright denied.
3. Uncovering policy limits
Because semi-truck accidents often leave victims with severe injuries, the associated medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering tends to be significant.
For this reason, attorney Boulton requests certified documentation that reveals the total coverage available to his clients. Depending on the size of the truck and cargo-type, it is not uncommon for our office to locate $1,000,000 or more in coverage
Additionally, semi-trucks may carry separate policies for their rig and trailer! The severity of your injuries may enable attorney Boulton to recover compensation from both policies.
4. Examining your medical records and bills
It is not uncommon for semi-truck accident victims to sustain significant injuries. The resulting medical treatment is lengthy and the bills expensive.
Hiring the Boulton Law Group ensures that a professional summary of your injuries, treatment, and recovery are presented to the insurance company in a clear, convincing manner.
Without an attorney on your side, it is possible that injuries and treatment are minimized by the insurance company.
5. Negotiating and settling the claim

It's National Book Week, at least according to Facebook, and in celebration, you're supposed to reach for the closest book, go to page 56 and post the fifth sentence as your status, which really makes me happy the fifth sentence of my novel isn't, "Claudia ate a booger," or similar. And this is not because I carry it with me everywhere I go. I'm just saying.
When I did this earlier in the week, my sentence was "Beat in the brown sugar, oil and applesauce." As you might imagine this was because I was in the kitchen and I grabbed the closest book, which happened to be a horror novel because don't you think oil, brown sugar and applesauce just sound nasty together? Regardless, it's a fun little exercise that happens around this approximate time every year. I haven't been able to pin down the exact dates; it varies depending on where you search on the Internet. This is fine with me because personally I think every week should be National Book Week.
Just yesterday I was introduced to someone else as an author and the man said, "Oh, I don't read books." He seemed rather proud of this, which I think is along the same lines as being proud of not holding the door open for little old ladies. I mean really? You're proud you don't read books? Or perhaps he was just afraid I was going to try to sell him the copy of Wish Club I keep in my pocket.
Personally, I wish I could read more books. I wish I could spend my days lolling on the couch, or the beach or anywhere for that matter (who wouldn't like to loll more?) reading massive quantities of books. When we were on vacation earlier this summer, we all brought our Kindles and we read, read, read. It was heaven to soak up so much literature. And nothing makes me more proud than to watch my kids immersed in books. It makes me feel that as a parent, I've done at least one thing right.
What I don't like about the Kindle though, is you can't see what people are reading because you can't see the book cover. And this is not because I'm worried my kids are reading Harold Robbins. Listen, Ethan just finished Freakonomics. He's fourteen. Scary enough, right? I just like checking out book covers when I'm at the airport or beach or on CTA, just to see what titles are hot right now without having them filtered though somebody else's published list. Maybe those folks at Amazon could figure out a way to have covers display on the outside of the Kindle somehow. Or maybe they could just display the fifth sentence from page 56 on the cover of whatever book the reader is e-reading, because judging from what I've seen on Facebook, that can be enticing enough.
Happy National Book Week, everyone!

After recently being the first Australian band to be signed to international label Rude Records, Sydney pop-punk trio are due to release their new EP 'Sidewinder' this year. We had a chat lead singer Bonnie to find out more.
Hi, Bonnie, thanks for taking the time to chat with Forte. You're the lead singer of a powerful pop punk-pop rock band, Stand Atlantic. Tell us a little about your new upcoming EP, 'Sidewinder'.
Well with this EP we really wanted to focus on song writing, vocal melodies and hooks and just making sure every song stands on its own. We released a demo EP about two years ago, and we wanted to make this EP a real step up and we are so stoked on how it turned out. We're so proud of all the songs. Working with producer Steve Knight was a first for us and we learnt so much working with him.
Tell us, how long have you guys been a band and how did you come together?
With this line up, as Stand Atlantic, we've been around about two years. Our bassist Potter and I went to music school together so that's how we know each other. We were in a band prior to Stand Atlantic but we decided that that band sucked and we just wanted to start fresh so we changed the name and the rest is history!
You've just become the first Australian band to be signed to international label Rude Records, do you think Australia is a strong force in the worldwide pop punk/pop rock scene?
I think at the moment, labels are signing Australian pop punk bands left, right and centre. But I think the fact that we're so far away from such huge markets like the US and the UK, I feel like it makes the bands that really want to do this, work harder and try and be the best they can to stand out. So I think, even though it's slim pickings for how many pop punk bands there are here, the ones that we do have mean business.
The first track off your new EP 'Coffee At Midnight' has recently been released with a video clip, tell us a bit about some of the main themes of this song and/or video, what's being portrayed?
For the video, we wanted a non-linear story but to keep it as something that most people can relate to, you know, the classic relationship that didn't really end so well. We've always wanted to work with director Kieran Ellis Jones because his videos always stand out. Really, we left it up to him! He filmed the narrative parts in Melbourne. We just wanted it to look pretty and have a simple story line that people can follow and we're so happy with how it turned out.
The EP title 'Sidewinder' is interesting, that's a kind of snake isn't it? What kind of significance does that have for this EP?
Fun fact, it's also a type of potato, so we have potato album coming out! But to be honest, I just thought the name was really cool and it became quite meaningful to us as a band. The actual track 'Sidewinder' on the EP was a real turning point in how we write and what the EP was going to bring as a whole, it really just brought it all together so nicely. I'm actually petrified of snakes!
When did you realise you had such a powerful rock voice?
I actually only started singing quite late in the game, when I was about 16 or 17. I started out with no confidence, just posting acoustic covers to YouTube. But in terms of my singing style, I think it was just down to my influences and the bands that I listened to. The sound that I like to hear. I don't really do the whole all-perfect vocal style, even though that's awesome and if you can pull that off, you're a God!
The pop punk-pop rock genre tends to be very male dominated, would you like to inspire other girls to just scream and play guitar and rock out?
Totally! If a girl was looking at our band and thinking 'I want to do that', as a female, I would be so stoked! That's what Avril Lavigne did for me when I was young. She just made it seem possible and not weird for a girl to do, because it's not weird and it shouldn't be seen as weird. So if I can inspire other girls to do the same, I would be like hell yeah! If you want to do that, do it!
Catch Stand Atlantic's new EP 'Sidewinder' on September 15, and check out the video clip for the first track 'Coffee At Midnight' up on Rude Records' Youtube channel now!

[An American correspondent sends us the following interesting picture of life in the agricultural districts of Alabama]: DURING the fifteen years of my residence here settlers have multiplied twenty to one, chiefly from the adjacent State of Georgia, and of late Northern companies have bought up on speculation all land that was for sale.

When a large enough tract has been thus hypothecated, the agent advertises it for sale in the North. The booming is done with, by, and for Northern capitalists.

At last, Netflix has unveiled the full trailer for its Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events series, which will run for eight episode in mid-January. Given the tepid response to the 2004 film version starring Jim Carrey, Netflix is once again giving book readers and others hope that where a story fails to work elsewhere (as a movie or as a TV show on the wrong network), Netflix stands ready to swoop in and snatch it up, using its immense budget and lack of oversight to give the creatives free rein. And in this case, it's coming directly from the creator of the books, Daniel Handler.
The trailer also gives us an extended look at Neil Patrick Harris as Olaf, and he seems to be having a ball with the role. The series is clearly geared towards kids, and the budget isn't as lavish as it might be, but it is a world full of dark splendors and looks like it could be quite a bit of fun — as long as it keeps up the energy shown in the trailer.
Check out that full-length trailer below. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events also stars Patrick Warburton, Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, Presley Smith, Joan Cusack, and Alfre Woodard, and premieres Friday the 13th of January on Netflix.
Here's the official synopsis for Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events:
Based on the internationally best-selling series of books by Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) and starring Emmy and Tony Award winner Neil Patrick Harris, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans — Violet, Klaus, and Sunny – whose evil guardian Count Olaf will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance. The siblings must outsmart Olaf at every turn, foiling his many devious plans and disguises, in order to discover clues to their parents' mysterious death. The eight-episode series is a Netflix original production, executive produced by Emmy Award winner Barry Sonnenfeld and Daniel Handler, and also stars Patrick Warburton (Lemony Snicket), Joan Cusack (Justice Strauss), Malina Weissman (Violet Baudelaire) and Louis Hynes (Klaus Baudelaire). The series premieres January 13, 2017 only on Netflix.

Sugar and sweeteners, what's what?
Sugar, we all know its bad for us, but do we really know why?? Apart from it makes us fat and rots our teeth… what really happens? And what are the alternatives?
Here's a low down on what's what when it comes to your sweet tooth.
Sugar is addictive. It releases dopamine in the brain that makes us feel good. However this is only temporary. It's a well known fact that the cravings, withdrawals, and relapse symptoms of a sugar addict is similar to those of cocaine and heroine abusers. Food manufacturers know you get the 'feel good hit' after consuming their products and this keeps you coming back for more. If anyone has 'come off' sugar (the white stuff) you'll notice that if you then consume even a small amount say, a couple of glasses of lemonade, you can't actually tolerate it and can even get a hangover. Think fury tongue, brain fog and fatigue. Look for alternatives to sugar stacked drinks, such as appletiser, which contains only natural sugars. For more info on the addictive properties of sugar click here
Fat Stores
Our body uses the broken down form of sugar- glucose for energy, and the liver stores excess sugar as glycogen. This is the go to store of energy when the body needs it, during exercise, between meals or while fasting. But we can only store so much in the livers 'energy cabinet'. The rest unfortunately gets converted to fats (triglycerides) and gets stored in fat pockets. So the more excess sugar, the more fat pockets will be made to store it! If that wasn't bad enough, this type of fat that is not useful to the bodies cells, they get incorporated into our cell membranes. This is especially the case with processed fructose sugars (as in high fructose corn syrup). The body has an even harder job digesting these and the liver again converts them to triglycerides (fats), but once these lipids make up the cell membrane these cells become insulin resistant (leading to diabetes). With the huge amount of this processed sweetener in foods these days, it equals a big fat problem and one poor congested liver!
The blood sugar rollercoaster
A day in the life of a sugar addict…. Carbohydrates the sugary or starchy part of foods also get broken down into glucose. These come in two forms, simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are the refined/bad ones, complex are the unrefined/good ones. Processed (simple) carbohydrates get absorbed very quickly, which gives a unnaturally rapid increase in blood glucose. Our body does its upmost to keep these blood glucose levels in check and a rise in levels is what we call hyperglycaemia. This rise in our blood glucose level prompts our pancreas to pump out lots of insulin to deal with the excess glucose. (insulin takes the glucose to our cells to be used as energy or converted and stored) As a result of this overproduction of insulin, about an hour later the person has got a very low level of blood glucose called hypoglycaemia. Have you ever noticed after a sugary breakfast cereal in the morning about an hour later you felt hungry again? This is hypoglycaemia. And what do people usually have to satisfy their hunger? A biscuit, a chocolate bar, a coffee or something like that and the whole cycle of hyper and hypoglycaemia begins again… yawn!!! Common symptoms include headaches, irritability, dizziness, feeling shaky, lack of energy, trouble concentrating, craving sweets, mood swings and depression.
This up and down roller coaster is extremely harmful. Once your body gets used to pumping out tons of insulin everyday to bring your blood sugar levels down, the insulin itself becomes 'lazy' having a harder job regulating blood sugar (insulin resistance). This Insulin resistance also makes it harder for our bodies to use fat as energy, in other words, you can't lose weight easily when there's a bunch of insulin coursing around your body not doing its job correctly. Nevertheless it's not just about weight, too much glucose and insulin is a major culprit in many diseases, including the well known hyperglycaemia disease known as Diabetes. This hyperglycaemic disease can cause damage to the vessels that supply blood to your organs. This can lead to kidney disease, plus vision and nerve problems.
The adrenal glands are also put under a lot of stress by rapidly shifting blood sugar levels. The adrenals are needed to keep our energy steady and stress levels down. The endless need for the adrenals to 'help out' with the fluctuating blood sugar levels leads to adrenal exhaustion. This goes hand in hand with constant high levels of the stress hormone, cortisol floating around our system… which turns us into a 'stress head!'. Of course putting our body under such strain is highly ageing.
Immune system
Processed carbohydrates and sugar also slows down our resistance to infections and damages our white blood cells, impairing our immune system. According to the Environmental Law Centre – Eating or drinking 100 grams (8 tbsp.) of sugar, the equivalent of one 12-ounce canned soft drink, can reduce the ability of white blood cells to kill germs by forty percent. The immune-suppressing effect of sugar starts less than thirty minutes after ingestion and may last for five hours. In contrast, the ingestion of complex carbohydrates, or starches, has no effect on the immune system.
Brain Fog
Now if your still with me, congratulations you've passed the average 3 min attention span…. read on…
Mineral stores
Another reason behind sugar rotting teeth is that it draws the calcium from your teeth (and bones) to buffer the acidity. So over time your teeth will become weakened and the acidity and bacteria then takes action on your teeth. Also needed to help you absorb the calcium back into your teeth and bones, is magnesium. Just one molecule of sugar uses a whooping 56 molecules of magnesium! No wonder there is such an epidemic of magnesium deficiency throughout the western world (think muscle cramps/twitches, fatigue, heart palpitations, osteoporosis) We also have such low levels of magnesium in our soils these days from over farming. This is a serious problem for our electrolyte balance and cell function.
Fermentation V Oxygen – Acid V Alkaline.
Cancer cells are very hungry for sugar, they have 19 x more glucose receptors than normal cells. Ever considered how a PET scan works. Patients are injected with radioactive glucose. The test measures the parts of the body that absorb the most glucose. Greedy cancer cells light up like fireworks. Cancer cells use fermentation for energy whereas healthy cells use oxygen. The more acidic the diet (sugar is very acid forming) the more fermentation will be taking place. The more alkaline the diet (vegetables, nourishing wholefoods foods) the more oxygen is brought into the body. Obviously we want to be getting the alkaline/oxygen foods into our system and taking out the acidic/fermentation foods. Another important one to mention is Candida – a yeast. This is a massive problem nowadays, it also feeds off sugar and uses fermentation. Yeast makes it own poop, yuck! So not only are you dealing with your own waste, you are dealing with theirs, in the form of alcohol, formaldehyde, and other toxins. Signs of an overgrowth are gas, bloating, mental fog, fatigue, weight gain, fungus infections and a coated tongue.
Artificial and processed sweeteners
These are another big no no! This is not saving you calories and keeping the weight off. Calorie counting is useless. Its not the calories that count it is the source of the calories that count! Processed food with low calories are never going to make you healthy EVER. Artificial sweeteners are potent nerve toxins and should never be made for human consumption.
High fructose corn syrup HFCS
This is a highly processed sweetener containing no nutritional value. It is widely used today as it is so cheap and very sweet. According to Dr Mercola the effects of this sweetener have a detrimental effect on the human body, not only because it is in so many of our food products at such high amounts, It is very damaging to our liver, and can lead to diabetes. Further reading at Dr Mercola Click here
This sweetener is deadly. It sneaks its way into tons of stuff, even Bercocca vitamins (Boots vitamin award winner… bravo!!!) Its been linked to brain tumours, alzheimer's, and many other serious nervous system disturbance's. The best way to avoid it is to avoid processed foods and ALWAYS READ THE LABEL!
Neotame is Aspartame in disguise, it's the new kid on the block so be aware and avoid! For further info on the dangers of aspartame watch… Sweet Misery
This sweetener had studies linking it to bladder cancer in rats in the 1970's and it is still widely used today. Avoid!
Acesulfame K
This contains the carcinogen methylene chloride. Long-term exposure to methylene chloride can cause headaches, depression, nausea, mental confusion, liver effects, kidney effects, visual disturbances, and cancer in humans.
Although the name would suggest it is similar to sucrose (table sugar) it is actually far from it. It is made using heaps of chemicals and has especially high levels of chlorine. Chlorine is considered a carcinogen (avoid swimming pools with high levels) and has been used in poisonous gas, disinfectants, pesticides, and plastics. The sweetener Splenda is predominately sucralose.
What to do?
The trouble is all of the above sweeteners and sugars are hidden in so many of our favourite foods, such as diet meals, flavoured waters, canned drinks, squashes, salad dressings, jarred sauces, and even chewing gum, vitamins and tooth pastes. Coming off this stuff is hard work and should be done gradually, going cold turkey is just not gonna happen, so be patient with yourself! First swapping the bad for the good and certainly not touching the artificial – Think as natural as possible and shop smart! The safest bet is to stay away from processed foods and always check the label.
These words on the ingredients list mean sugar: glucose, dextrose, fructose, invert syrup, corn syrup, raw, brown or demerara sugar, glucose syrup, lactose, maltose, sucrose (table sugar), hydrolysed starch or treacle, fruit juice concentrate, high fructose corn syrup, turbinado, malt syrup, invert sugar, molasses, sweetened carob powder, maple syrup, maltodextrin, honey, brown rice syrup.(Plus all the fancy names for artificial sweeteners)
Low GI (glycemic index)
Glycemic index is a comparative measurement of the amount of glucose released by a particular food over a two to three-hour period. As a general rule for low GI foods you should choose complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates. So thats brown bread over white (if you want to include this at all!), brown rice over white, Oats and Quinoa over cereals, and eat vegtetables in abundance. You want to be aiming for foods under 55 GI. There are many books and websites with helpful charts you can use for reference. If you suffer from blood sugar imbalance or any of the symptoms above you need to limit all sugars, even the natural ones. Eating sugars with good quality fats (coconut oil, butter ghee) and good quality protein (organic eggs, nuts etc) is going to slow down the rate at which you burn them.
Here is a list of sugars & substitutes with their estimated Glycemic Index
|Refined Table Sugar
|Refined, Pasteurised Honey
|High Fructose Corn Syrup
|Glucose (Dextrose)
|Brown Rice Syrup
|Raw Honey
|Maple Syrup
|Coconut Palm Sugar
|Luo Han Guo
|Blackstrap Molasses
The goal is to stablise your blood sugar by eating balanced meals at regular intervals throughout the day, so that you no longer crave sweets. True success comes when you do eat sweets but they no longer taste good, better yet, they give you a headache, make you nauseous, tired, dizzy and depressed!
Natural Sweeteners
Naturally occurring sugars come along with fibre, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, whereas processed and artificial sweeteners have no nutritional value at all. Brown sugar is obviously a better choice than refined white sugar, but there are more nutritious options below. Although I do not believe calorie counting is beneficial for being healthy, I will state them for your reference.
Watch out for Agave Nectar, this is apparently very highly processed and some brands contain very high fructose levels with as much as 92%. Remember, our body has a hard job digesting processed fructose and it becomes a burden on the liver. So be careful with the claims of it being 'raw' and 'low Gi'. If you use this at all, make sure you get it from a reputable company or stay away completely. (60 Calories per tbsp)
Sugar Alcohols
Maltitol, Sorbitol, Mannitol, Erythritol, Xylitol are all considered safe sweeteners. They occur naturally in plants but are usually manufactured from sugars and starches. However, many individuals have reported significant gastrointestinal distress that includes cramping, bloating, gas & diarrhoea. This is because they can ferment in the intestines. Sugar alcohols have fewer calories than sugars because they are not completely absorbed by the body. Xylitol is stated to be beneficial for teeth as it inhibits the growth of the acid-producing bacteria that causes cavities. (10 Calories per tbsp)
Organic Raw Honey
Packed with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, makes this a treasure chest of nutritional value. Make sure you buy 'raw' otherwise all this good stuff would of be boiled away with the pasteurisation process or filtered out. It still has a fairly high fructose levels so don't over do it. (60 Calories per tbsp)
In Japan, stevia has been used by millions of people for over 25 years. It has just become legal in the UK, after battles with the artificial sweetener companies trying to keep it under wraps! Studies suggest that stevia has a regulating effect on the pancreas and could help stabilise blood sugar levels in the body. You only need a tiny amount as it is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar! (Zero calories)
Luo Han Guo
Although newly discovered in the western world, the Chinese have had luo han guo in their "secret" traditions as a natural sweetener and healing remedy for many centuries. This plant has high antioxidant properties, and has been thought to have no affect on your blood sugar. A big thumbs up! (Zero calories)
Coconut Blossom Nectar
Also known as coconut palm sugar. Another fairly new one to the western world. Coconut nectar is naturally sweet and highly nutritious. Containing 16 amino acids and 4 different B vitamins makes it a very good choice as a sweetener. (45 Calories per tbsp)
Organic Blackstrap Molasses
Unsulphured Blackstrap is what you should be looking for. This is very high in vitamins, minerals. Plus being especially high in Iron makes a good choice for overcoming anemia. It can be an acquired taste to those who have taste buds conditioned to the likes of sugar and artificial sweeteners. (47 Calories per tbsp)
Maple Syrup
Look for Grade B maple syrup which is darker in colour and contains higher quantities of the minerals: zinc, manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron and calcium plus trace amounts of B vitamins. Make sure you buy a good quality organic brand that will have a rich toffee flavour. (52 calories per tbsp)
Dates/Raisins & Dried Fruit
All of these make good natural sweeteners, for pancakes, energy bars and smoothies etc. You might find that this sweetness alone is enough to curb your sweet tooth. Make sure you buy organic if possible as sulphites and vegetable oils may have been added to preserve them otherwise. (Dates 23 calories per 8.3g, Raisins 42 calories per 14g)
In summary
We all need to cut back on our dependence for sweet tastes, even the natural sugars. But substituting the white stuff and artificial/processed stuff for the ones above are going to be a great help to regaining and sustaining health. A top tip to curb the sweet craving is hydration. When you feel the crave coming on or your energy level dips, have a pint of body temperature filtered water. This can help balance blood sugar levels and should get you feeling normal again. Often we are not hungry, we are actually thirsty!

Devil Rays recall Orvella and Corcoran
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE - The Tampa Bay Devil Rays bolstered their bullpen with the addition of right-handers Chad Orvella and Tim Corcoran from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.
They replace right-hander Ruddy Lugo, who was optioned to Durham after Sunday's game, and right-hander Juan Salas, who was suspended for 50 games Monday for violating baseball's drug treatment program.
Manager Joe Maddon said that Orvella and Corcoran would be used in sixth- and seventh-inning situations.
"We're back at full strength in the bullpen and we�re going to move on," Maddon said.
Orvella was 1-0 with a 2.76 ERA and five saves with Durham. Corcoran was 1-1 with a 2.51 ERA in 10 relief appearances.

We've talked about the benefits of coconut oil. Now here's a quick tip. Use it as a pre-poo conditioner or as a heated treatment after your shampoo. Use organic coconut oil and heat it slightly or let it emulsify (melt) in your hands. Apply to your locs and cover with a shower cap. Rinse and your locs will thank you for it. One to try: Barlean's Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, around $10 at Whole Foods or on various sites online.
Speaking of shower caps, what do you do when your locs have reached new lengths? Run out of options? Try the Celestial Crowns shower caps, designed with a little flair and for longer hair (locs). Margie Cattouse, owner of Celestial Comforter, LLC started her shower cap company in 2008. She says it best: "Here, were the descendents of Kings and Queens, using garbage bags, dry cleaners plastic, multiple unreliable shower caps, playing dodge the shower nozzle and other innovative methods, in an attempt to avoid getting their treasured locs wet. I decided to design a better mousetrap, making a shower cap that would be sturdier, more attractive and mindful of price. My optimum goal is to have everyone in the natural hair community world-wide owning at least one "Celestial Crowns Shower Cap", never again donning a garbage bag."

For years you've been told that informed consent is a process, not just a piece of paper. That's true, and now there's increasing scrutiny of those forms by regulatory agencies. What we've found, as with many of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations, is that enforcement by state Department of Health investigators and review by The Joint Commission surveyors has been somewhat inconsistent. Interpretation of the regulations largely depends on the investigator's or surveyor's background. New Conditions of Participation (CoP) from CMS went into effect in 2007, but several hospitals and physician practices aren't aware of all the changes.

KARACHI: Rising gold prices have been the cause of concern for the jewellery retailers as they are faced with higher input costs and lower sales, said analysts.
Gold prices have risen by nearly 13 percent in the last few months. In addition to rising gold prices, the currency depreciation has further increased gold input costs for the jewellers, they said.
"Times have been difficult as consumers have postponed their purchase of jewellery. Most of them are reusing the old sets or moving towards artificial jewellery altogether," said Najia Anis a diamond jewellery designer.
Many established names in business have reported loss as they find it impossible to make profit in this current scenario. The rising inflation and rupee depreciation are the main reasons behind this problem, she said.
"People are saving money as they still see a very volatile economic situation ahead. As we all know that the rising gold prices also affects other precious metals, as well, so only a few people are buying jewellery these days," said the owner of a jewellery shop.

A Tale of Two Nails
Scenario one:
I presume that many of you have heard the famous story, written up in the British Medical Journal, about the man who jumped onto a large nail and was immediately in agony. An animated Ted-ED on the subject has been circulating recently. As the story goes, when they eventually removed the boot, they found that no injury had occurred, the nail having passed between the toes. On this revelation the pain dispersed….
Scenario two:
As a teenager, whilst helping out on a building site, I jumped off a wall with several bricks in my hand, onto a protruding 15cm nail which went straight through my mid foot. At this stage there was no pain. I thought that it was not a good idea to leave the nail in, so I stood on the piece of wood it was nailed through and pulled my foot off the piece of wood. Still no pain. I went into the house, slightly limping because I thought I should I suppose, but no pain, to tell my Dad of the incident. He took some forceps and proceeded to fish around in the wound to see if there was any debris. Still, I felt no pain, just a little sore. The only treatment and care was a tetanus injection.
What's the difference Doc?
The difference is context, that is to say, the temporary environment of the event. I would imagine that my colleague in self harm was horrified that his reinforced boot had allowed the nail to penetrate. Wow that must be bad! Everyone around might have panicked adding to the importance of the damage. An ambulance was called, sirens rang, a hospital at the other end. The smells and sights of A&E all compounding the importance of the damage and danger. Antigenic responses having a party.
In my case, I was alone. No care, no sympathy, no ambulance and no hospital. A tyrannical father was waiting for me to blame my stupidity for the accident and the inconvenience to him that work had been interrupted and a perfectly good pair of boots ruined!
It's all about Context
It's all about context at the end of the day. In my case, it was not to my advantage to add pain to an already bad situation. I did not require the additional protection that a pain construction can provide, my cognitions and metacognitions 'overriding' any associated molecular patterns (AMPs) produced in my body.
Next time you see someone who is – or who is not – suffering in proportion to what you might believe is normal, have you just been judgemental as to their character? Or have you really cared and dug deeper into their story and their context?
Would you like to know more?

I fell down some dusty steps at Yirrkala Art Gallery in Eastern Arnhem Land, splitting my knee open to the bone. No real pain just shock and the prospect of having to leave the trip we had spent one year planning. No Way! Gove Hospital stitched me up (12 sutures, deep and superficial), a few local anaesthetic injections, antibiotics and some panadol and off you go. The context of touring Arnhem Land with the beautiful culture, people, sunsets, song lines, dreaming … I dealt with that injury so much better because of context. It fascinates me to this day. 2 years on my knee is 100% with a beautiful scar and and an even better story.
Great story, David, thankyou. I particularly like your reference to someone who is suffering in proportion to our judgement of what we think they 'should' be suffering. We all inadvertently make judgement calls without realising it about the level of someone's pain. I have seen really bad and overt examples in public hospital of those kind of judgements, but we all do it and it is good to be reminded that we aren't in a position to make that judgement at all.
love the video. It is a story that I have heard before but know have access to a video to show patients with greater detail. I was concerned at the end about, in a sense, disconnecting part of the amygdala or medications as the latest research in helping those with persistent pain. These ideas on finding ways to stop "feeling" pain (or any sensation for that matter) concern me as we seem to be always looking for a mechanical fix for pain. Hummm. Gene therapy? I don't know. Maybe our hypersensitivity is there for a reason and we can dig more to find out the reason for it rather than "fixing" the reaction. My two cents.

David, that is an excellent point. I love that the "gene manipulating" is brought out by education and movement rather than in a lab however. Thank you for your comment back David. :)
Thank you Russell for engaging, that in itself shows how you are reflecting and striving, as we all are, to stay impartial which is never easy due to our own personal wounding 👍
