We have been advised by many people that The Hollies are touring the UK in Spring of next year. This is not correct.
If you do a Google search for The Hollies Tour Dates 2017, you may see at the top of the page, Events listed for the band for 2017.
By clicking on each of the links, you will see the Title, Date and Venue and beneath that the "Source" of the information which is stated as "hollies.co.uk" - this website.
The Hollies website is the only place you will find current information on shows and by looking at the Tour page for 2017, you will see that there are no such dates listed as those that show up in the Google seach.
We are very sorry to dissappoint our fans but this is a glitch with the Google search engine and is not of our making.
Google have been contacted to try to ammend the error.

Mimi Spencer: Parenting has become madly competitive
Fending (and foraging) for themselves can be character-building for children
Oh, how to be a parent? I muse upon this as I sit in traffic on the way to pick up my daughter (age ten) from her Competitive Swim class. At this rate, my son (age nine) will be late for his skateboard lesson, which will have deleterious – that's 'D-E-L-E-T-E-R-I-O-U-S', meaning damaging or harmful – repercussions for drum practice. Or was it guitar?
I never thought I'd be this kind of mother. But you get drawn in, like a balloon on a string. You embark on parenting with the idea that you'll be idle and bohemian, probably barefoot, while your offspring roam free, picking daisies and inventing their own fairy language in the woods…
And then, all of a sudden, you're firing times-tables questions at them in the car as you drive to an art class all about Jean-Michel Basquiat and the New York graffiti movement. I'm not even joking. That was last week. Our Saturday mornings are like a Modern Pentathlon. If we put our foot down and miss lunch, we can fit in cricket, sailing, rock school and a track cycling session at the velodrome, which has been our new home from home since Lily decided she wants to be Victoria Pendleton when she grows up. It's utterly exhausting for everyone, which means we usually have a RIC. That's Row In Car, which is only one step down from TIB (Talk In Bed, which is what you do with your husband if he hasn't emptied the dishwasher for a week).
The problem with parenting, as we all know, is that it has become ultra competitive. Life is merciless and demanding, and it helps if you've got a third language in your pocket and 'swimming with dolphins' on your Ucas personal statement. Besides, everyone else is at it. It's a carousel of fools, but you'd be mad to get off.
Now a house master at Eton (of all places) has told us all to slow down and dispense with the hyper-parenting. 'You're in danger of demotivating children because they feel they are a passive project being constructed rather against their will,' says Mike Grenier, an advocate of 'slow parenting' (which is a bit like slow food, but without quite so much home-made ravioli). I like this idea.
In fact, I like it so much that I'm trying out the 'benign neglect' school of parenting, as experienced by people like Rachel Johnson back in the mists of time. In a new book about manners, she remembers her childhood thus: 'When I was ten and Boris was 11, my mother would drop us off at the Gare du Nord with our school trunks, hand over a few francs for frîtes on the ferry, and then get back to the much more interesting business of painting or seeing her psychiatrist… Our parents provided us with the essentials, then got on with their own lives. Which makes me realise that my parents were brilliant, not for what they did, but more for what they didn't do.'
This week, in the spirit of old-school adventure, I 'didn't do' too. I didn't take the kids to swimming club; I didn't pick up socks, I ignored homework and I let them forage in the fridge for snacks. And how did they fare? Remarkably, brilliantly well. They loved it. It was me who found it hard. Stripped of the Parenting Project, we hyper-mums are left to dangle in space, wondering what to do with ourselves until bedtime. Tough love, it turns out, is toughest on the parent. Who'd have guessed?

the findings we have examined so far reveal that species appeared

Douglas Futuyma has acknowledged. Recall that he wrote: "If
they did appear in a fully developed state, they must indeed
have been created by some omnipotent intelligence."171
Evolutionists, on the other hand, try to interpret the sequence
by which living things appeared on earth as evidence for evolution.
However, since no such evolutionary process ever took place,
this sequence can only be the sequence of creation. Fossils
reveal that living things appeared on earth first in the sea,
and then on land, followed by the appearance of man, who possesses
a flawless and superior design.

text: For the many problems people have with No Child Left Behind, the program shines a bright light on a problem area in South Dakota education, said Keith Moore, the state Department of Education's Indian education director. That problem: Education on American Indian reservations. Teachers and students on reservation schools struggle, and the numbers on standardized tests bare that out, Moore said. Moore, a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, was the featured speaker at Friday's Northern State University School of Education diversity seminar. He spoke to student teachers and others about what needs to be done to start improving education on reservations. The solution isn't simple because the problems aren't simple, Moore said. South Dakota has some of the poorest counties in the nation, he said. And poverty and education are undoubtedly linked, he said. Poverty is usually different for minorities, especially American Indians, than it is for whites, Moore said. The reasons include: It's concentrated: Poverty, social dysfunction and unemployment are concentrated on reservations where there are few success stories, few jobs and few mentors. It's isolated: Reservations are generally removed from larger cities that provide more opportunities. It's generational: American Indian youths grow up without having an understanding of what it's like to have a job because so many adults are unemployed. It's deep: Reservation poverty is severe - beyond not being able to make ends meet for a month or two. For example, Moore said, average annual household income in Shannon County is $6,500. Making excuses isn't the answer, but it will take a coordinated attack to turn the problems around, Moore said. He's trying to begin that work as part of his job. Starting points include: Early childhood education: Without it, Moore said, many American Indian students are behind white students when they show up for the first day of kindergarten. By fourth grade, Moore said, many minority students are already two to two and a half grades behind whites in reading and math skills. The gaps just get bigger as the years go by. After-school and summer programs: Many American Indian young people learn bad behaviors in the summer months when there is little to do on reservations. They experiment with drugs and alcohol, stay up late and sleep much of the day. More activities would help change that. Year-round school: Less downtime would decrease the achievement gaps seen on reservation schools. Leadership and quality teaching: When a student has a bad teacher two years in a row, that student is headed for trouble, Moore said. Reservations don't have a high percentage of good teachers, he said. Collaboration: Bitter feelings from the past have to be set aside, and tribal and Bureau of Indian Affairs schools have to be willing to accept help from non-Indian people, he said. The state Department of Education has no control over tribal and BIA schools, and those schools often don't want any input from the department, Moore said. Talking about the problems and acknowledging past hurts are first steps in addressing severe reservation education problems, he said. The graduation rates in public schools in South Dakota is 89 percent. For American Indians it's 61 percent. Admittedly, Moore said, he wasn't the best student. Even as a student at Northern State University, he said, he just got by. Now, though, education is his focus. And, he said, he's willing to start the work of improving the conditions on reservations like the one he was born on.

MES Character Counts Students Named
McConnellsburg Elementary School is continuing its character education program this year. It is believed that character counts, so each month a different character trait is promoted. In March, the character trait responsibility was focused on. A responsible student is one who is dependable and accountable for their words and actions. It is also one who does their best and completes their work on time. The following students were chosen by their teacher in demonstrating the qualities of responsibility:
Riley Shafer, Lily Truax, Lainnie Glenn, Kylie Brown, Jonah Peck, Taylor Hedge, Cale Harman, Alicia Strait, Kiera Tu, Kendyl Truax, Walker Funk, Carly Brubaker, Zoe Hann, Taylor Bishop, Elianna Godissart, Aryana Gibson, Olivia Alexander, Alexis Hoover, Trenton Trail, Damon Knepper, Kendal Ashman, Andrew Mellott, Morgan Stallman, Kiernan Doyle, Colton Mellott, Maecy Richards, Garrett Danfelt.

It is all coming around again. The team is losing. The coach is going to get fired, later if not now. The star player wants out. The front office is hopelessly inconsistent. The fans are disgruntled, leaving thousands of seats empty.
If it sounds familiar, it should. It happened here in Baltimore in the years leading up to the Colts' snowy departure in 1984. Now it is happening in Indianapolis, that destination city where the moving vans stopped with the Colts' equipment and Bob Irsay's tumblers.
Question: Who has it the worst these days, football fans in Indianapolis or Baltimore? Answer: Good question. One would think it is better to have a poor team than no team at all, but that's not such a certainty with the Colts.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Workers are saving less, worrying more and may be unrealistic about their ability to work as long as they think necessary to afford retirement, according to a major national survey released on Tuesday.
The 2012 Retirement Confidence Survey, published by Employee Benefits Research Institute, found workers in January as gloomy as they have ever been about their retirement prospects. The survey, which measures workers' and retirees' views of the future rather than actual savings data, has been conducted annually for 22 years and is largely underwritten by financial services firms.
Some 60 percent of workers surveyed said they had less than $25,000 in household savings (excluding their homes and traditional pensions); 34 percent said they had pulled money out of savings to pay for basic expenses; and only 52 percent said they felt even somewhat confident that they would have enough money to live comfortably through their retirement years.
The nation's confidence has plateaued "at the lowest levels we've seen in the two decades since we've done this survey," said Jack VanDerhei, the report's co-author and research director at EBRI.
VanDerhei said it was not clear how much the pessimism was warranted, since the survey did not track actual retirement readiness or spending. Some workers could be in better shape than they may think they are.
For example, workers who had calculated their retirement needs had significantly higher confidence levels than those who had not done the math, said Greg Burrows, senior vice president of the Principal Financial Group, a long-time underwriter of the Retirement Confidence Survey.
But "a significant percent of the population is deluding themselves," VanDerhei said. "If you're in your 50s and you don't have any money saved and you don't have a... (defined benefit)... plan, I have no problem saying that is delusional."
The survey revealed sharp differences in retirement readiness between respondents at upper versus lower income levels. Of that 60 percent who said they lacked significant savings: 57.35 percent have household income under $35,000, 50 percent are under age 40, and 21.6 percent have defined benefit plans.
But 93 percent of workers with household income over $75,000 said they have continued to save for retirement, and 21 percent of respondents said they had more than $100,000 in savings and investments (again, excluding the value of their homes and defined benefit plans).
The survey queried 1,003 workers and 259 retirees during the first two weeks of January.
Among the other significant findings:
— Only 58 percent of workers said they were currently saving money for retirement, compared with a peak of 65 percent in 2009. The decline in the number of people saving was all in households earning less than $75,000. Furthermore, significant numbers of workers said they had to make unplanned withdrawals from their savings in order to meet ordinary expenses.
Retirement concerns in general have taken a back seat to concerns about job uncertainty and debt, EBRI said.
— More workers now (than in previous surveys) are depending, perhaps unrealistically, on their ability to work longer: 37 percent say they expect to work after age 65, as compared to 24 percent in 2007 and 18 percent in 2002. The full retirement age is now 66, but workers appear to be looking further out than that. In the 2012 survey, 26 percent of workers said they expect to be 70 or older when they retire and another 7 percent said they would "never retire."
But EBRI cited "a considerable gap between workers' expectations and retirees' experience." In 2012, roughly half of the retirees surveyed said they left the workforce earlier than they had planned to, mainly because of health problems or disabilities, or because they were forced out of their jobs.
— Healthcare in retirement remains the big worry. Only 13 percent of workers said they were very confident that they will be able to pay for medical expenses throughout retirement, and only 9 percent feel that same level of comfort about long-term care expenses.
— Current retirees have options. In 2012, only 22 percent of actual retirees surveyed said they dipped into their savings to pay for basic expenses; that is down from the 33 percent of retirees who said they did that last year. That may be because current retirees typically have some flexibility in a bad economy to tighten their belts and spend less, said Mathew Greenwald, whose consulting firm, Mathew Greenwald & Associates Inc, conducted the survey with EBRI.
— Not everyone has options. In 2012, only 74 percent of employed workers taking the survey said they were offered any kind of retirement plan at work, down from 77 percent in 2007. And Greenwald projected that current workers will face higher retirement pressures than the today's retirees: They will have fewer defined benefit plans, more healthcare cost inflation and more pressure on their savings.

#HackTheTraffic Event Leveraged Austin's Newly Released Bluetooth Data
With gridlock causing commuters to waste time and energy in daily traffic, CTR is stepping forward to create solutions. In partnership with the Austin Transportation Department (ATD), CTR hosted a hackathon event called ATX Hack the Traffic (or #HackTheTraffic) to foster and incubate innovative solutions to common daily problems.
Born out of the Data Rodeo, which leverages CTR's expertise to create a repository for transportation data and tools in the Central Texas region, the hackathon brought together more than 75 developers, designers, analysts, and transportation enthusiasts to help develop new, open-source travel sensors, analytics tools, and other visualizations to improve Austin traffic. Sponsors for the event included the ATD, the Texas Advanced Computing Center, Data.World, and Open Austin.
The event was timed to coincide with the ATD's recent publication of more than 80 million anonymous Bluetooth data points, which allowed participants to learn about the city's data collection technologies, experiment with ways to extend those technologies, and use the data in addressing transportation problems. The hackathon featured four proposed challenge topics: SBC Traffic Sensor; Bluetooth Data Aggregator; Data Processing; and Mapping and Visualization. Participants were encouraged to develop their own challenges if one of the four topics did not appeal to their interests or skills.
Teams and Turnout
Two teams of hackers presented their successes at the end of the event. One team began to develop an open-source alternative to the existing traffic sensor software with the goal of producing a more flexible tool that addresses shortcomings in the existing software. Another team developed a traffic analytics dashboard to visualize the data and make travel predictions based on it. (The team that was developing the travel time estimation web app is continuing their work, providing their source code on GitHub.) Both teams took only the first steps toward realizing their goals, but their ability to make meaningful progress in such a short amount of time is an indication of the potential benefit in facilitating in public outreach events such as hackathons.
"Six hours is hardly enough time to understand the data, work with it, and to create a useful tool. Nevertheless, two teams (both primarily composed of UT students) developed their work to the point where they could present it at the end of the event," commented event organizer Jen Duthie. Read Dr. Duthie's account of the day.
Because ATX Hack the Traffic drew a range of participants—some of whom had limited knowledge and experience with coding and data analysis—the hackathon featured instructional workshops on data analysis and mapping/visualizing data. Workshop turnout overshot expectations—both exceeded the seating capacity of their classrooms and ran over the time allotted due to participant enthusiasm and engagement.
Proofs of Concept
One group of hackers was able to use the Raspberry Pi units (low-cost, high-performance computers) provided to collect Bluetooth data from other hackathon attendees' cell phones. Subsequently, ATD installed a Raspberry Pi in a City of Austin signal cabinet, which is now successfully collecting Bluetooth data, further demonstrating the feasibility of deploying this equipment. The applicability of the Raspberry Pi to successful data collection offers a solution that is orders of magnitude more cost-effective than the existing BAT 433 devices, offers dramatically greater flexibility, and avoids the issue of vendor lock-in.
"The hackathon is an opportunity to find low-cost technology infrastructure while giving people real-world experience and opportunities to work with other engineers and city planners," stated John Clary, ATD's Systems Analyst and co-leader of the hackathon.
Next Steps
#HacktheTraffic was the kick-off event for the series of three hackathons planned for 2017. The planning team has been invited to hold the second transportation hackathon in conjunction with ATX Hack for Change (June 2–4), a civic hackathon focused on community problems, hosted annually by St. Edward's University. Events like these bring Austin one step closer to becoming a fully integrated, smart city that implements cutting-edge technology to provide up-to-date traffic solutions.

How I Met Your Mother Review: Bittersweet SymphonyChris O'Hara at . Comments
This week's episode of How I Met Your Mother - "Symphony of Illumination" - had this Gentile thinking Christmas came early, but in the end I was left feeling like I had been Rickrolled instead of Mannheim Steamrolled.
While some parts of the episode were tough to swallow - like how my mom told me I had to finish my peas before I got pie - these served as key ingredients to a pretty tasty helping of the sitcom from Joe Kelly and gang.
What a tremendous performance from Cobie Smulders, treating us to equal amounts of humor and heartache. From the bathroom beat down to the "play it again Sam" egg nog for one on the park bench, she took us to the roof top of emotion... only to pull the ladder out from under us and send viewers crashing back down to Earth. I so wanted those to be her and Barney's kids. Robin has always brought out the best in the Barnacle and the prospect of her pregnancy sent him into a flurry of fatherly fuss with such adorable moments like when he freaked about giving her the wrong rocks glass.
Robin's seriousness at times did not upstage her humorous moments, though. We-B-Babies was the set for some of her funniest moments this season, from shooting herself in the head with Lily's registry gun to calling that baby "cute as crap." I did feel sorry for Barney, though, who missed a number of great joke opportunities with the whole pole vaulting story. I'm sure he would have interjected, saying he thought most Canadian women hoped they would meet a nice guy and settle down only after spending most of their twenties "vaulting poles."
Marshall's scenes out in East Meadow were pretty funny, what with Scott cranking he and Lily's stereo while "eating a sandwich" in their house. Kids these days are so tech savvy. Hats off to the little punk for thinking to ask Lily to send him pictures of her, ummm... hats. More importantly, however, all the father/son references were setting the stage for what will surely be an emotional Christmas for Marshall without his own father.
Ted, meanwhile, is one of the closest things Robin has to her own family in the States. His line about how she couldn't fire him because he was "union bitch" was one of the best quotes of the episode - but was overshadowed by the intense back and forth the two long time friends enjoyed. Ted realized in the end that actions speak louder than words, especially if those actions are timed up to ACDC's "Highway To Hell."
Robin has brought so much light into Ted's life it was fitting that in one of her darkest hours he was the one to illuminate her world. Just like Ted said to Robin, it's not How I Met Your Mother's job to cheer us up each week, but that doesn't mean its writers don't try. It's a fact of life and a darn good one. I couldn't give the episode five stars because I selfishly want to still see Barney and Robin end up together... and while that still might happen, and while I was happy to hear all the amazing things Robin goes on to do in life, the realization that she never will be a "pole vaulter" left me a bit sad.
I don't think I was the only one, right?

Florida's Environment Series Northeast Florida (Fig. 1) is a region centered along the St. Johns River, which is one of the few rivers in the United States that flows north. The river and the floodplains, swamps, and lakes associated with the St. Johns River dominate wetland habitats in this region. Pine flatwoods and hardwood hammocks dominated by live oak make up most of the uplands. Nearly 25% of the region is protected in conservation lands ( Table 1). Northeast Florida region with counties. Credits: UF/IFAS Large, cypress-lined lakes with dark, tannin-stained water feed the St. Johns River. Most of the swamps in northeast Florida occur within the floodplain of the St. Johns River or the headwaters of the St. Marys and Nassau Rivers. To the west of the St. Johns River is the southern end of the Trail Ridge, an ancient coastal dune formatioin that retains the Okefenokee Swamp and defines the path of the St. Marys River. Elevated, sandy soils and clear lakes characterize the Trail Ridge. Along the Atlantic coast lays a protective fringe of sea islands, sandy dunes, and beaches that attract large concentrations of shorebirds. This document summarizes major rivers, lakes and springs, featured natural areas, and cultural aspects of Florida's northeast region. For information

Florida State University. The St. Johns River flows for approximately 310 miles from its origin in east central Florida to its final destination, the Atlantic Ocean, making it the longest river contained entirely within Florida. Of Florida's 23 major rivers, only the St. Johns and St. Marys drain into the Atlantic Ocean. All others discharge into the Gulf of Mexico or inland lakes. The St. Johns is one of the "flattest" rivers in the world and has the 3rd largest drainage basin in Florida, measuring 5,632 acres. Upland habitats associated with the St. Johns River are home to many of Florida's protected species including the wood stork, easter indigo snake, scrub jay, black bear, sandhill crane, and crested caracara. Northeast Florida major conservation lands. Credits: UF/IFAS The St. Marys River (Fig. 2) flows for more than 125 miles and forms a border between Georgia and Florida. It meanders through Florida for 100 miles before it empties into the Atlantic just north of Fernandina beach. There is little development along the river, making this river one of the more pristine blackwater river systems in Florida. Hardwood and pine-palmetto forest communities dominate the upland habitats along the river, gradually changing to a marshy estuarine environment at the river's confluence with Cumberland Sound. Northeast Florida has both aquifer-linked lakes perched on the sandy Trail Ridge, and the large, blackwater, cypress-lined lakes that feed the St. Johns River. One large lake in this region was created as a reservoir. Lake Ocklawaha (Rodman Reservoir) is a 9,200-acre impoundment of the Ocklawaha River along the northern boundary of the Ocala National Forest. This recreational fishing area was created in 1968 by damming the Ocklawaha River. Osceola National Forest includes ~200,000 acres of forested woodlands and swamps and offers a wide range of recreational opportunities. Historically logged and burned, the forest is now managed on an ecological basis. A 23 mile section of the Florida National Scenic Trail passes through the forest and through the Olustee historic civil war battlefield.
Florida's Environment Northeast Region 3 The GuanaTolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTMNERR) encompasses approximately 60,000 acres of salt marsh and mangrove tidal wetlands, oyster bars, estuarine lagoons, upland habitats (Pine Flatwoods, coastal scrub and hardwood hammocks) and offshore seas in St. Johns and Flagler Counties. GTMNERR contains the northern most extent of mangrove habitat on the east coast of the United States. The coastal waters of the GTMNERR are important calving grounds for the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. The Reserve is geographically separated into a northern section where the Tolomato and Guana Rivers mix with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and a southern section along the Matanzas River, extending from Moses Creek to south of Pellicer Creek. Welaka State Forest is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Pine flatwoods, hammocks, sandhills, and bayheads occur in the forest, and river swamp habitat occurs along the St. Johns River. Three types of flatwoods habitat can be found: longleaf pine, slash pine, and pond pine. Sandhill communities are dominated by longleaf pines and wiregrass. The Big Gum Swamp consists of 13,600 acres of nearly level fresh water flats and relatively undisturbed cypress-gum forested swamp with pine flatwoods uplands along the perimeter. The swamp is located just north of Interstate 10 along the Columbia and Baker County junction. Much of the swamp's surface is covered in a thick spongy mat of organic peat creating numerous shallow sloughs where water creeps along to small streams. The Okefenokee Swamp sprawls across southern Georgia and northern Florida for 600 square miles. The buildup of peat and mosses in the swamp creates floating islands that move and tremble under your feet, hence the name given to it by people long ago, Okefenokee, which translates as trembling earth. The associated Pinhook Swamp is a conservation area connecting the Okefenokee Swamp with the Osceola National Forest. The Okefenokee and Pinhook swamps form the headwaters of the St. Marys River. Prehistoric Indian sites, middens, and mounds are found along many of north Florida's rivers. Shell middens indicate that Indians were living along the St. Johns as far back as 10,000 years ago. Some of the large shell mounds were commercially mined in the late 19th century to pave roads in nearby towns. Several of the first sites on the St. Johns river date back to 5000 to 3000 BC, the Middle Archaic period. Fish and shellfish were abundant in the St. Johns River system and were important foods to these early inhabitants. The Timucuan Indians, which included subgroups such as the Saturiwa and the Utina, lived along the St. Johns River until the arrival of the French and Spanish in the 1560s. The French attempted to establish a permanent colony in the area in 1562 and built Fort Caroline west of present-day Jacksonville. Fort Caroline lasted only 3 years and was lost to Spanish forces sent from St. Augustine in 1565. Fort Caroline National Monument is part of the Timucuan National Preserve. St. Augustine was established by the Spanish in 1565 and is the nation's oldest city. Florida's rivers formed a natural means of inland transportation during exploration and colonization by Europeans. In an effort to convert native peoples to Christianity and to colonize the area, Spanish missions were built along many of the rivers in the region in the 17th century, particularly in the vicinity of the St. Marys river. Later, the St. Marys region was associated with pirates and other disreputable elements of early colonial history. Ocean Pond, in the Osceola National Forest, is best known for the historic Battle of Olustee that took place there during the Civil War. The Confederate Army's victory at Olustee ensured the Northern Army's confinement to the coastal areas and left a supply route open to Florida's Confederate neighbors. This success is commemorated at the Olustee Battlefield State Historic Site. Each year the skirmishes and battle are re-enacted during President's weekend. By 1870 the St. Johns River was the gateway to south Florida tourism via paddleboat steamer. The

Florida's Environment Northeast Region 6 river also served as a corridor for development, allowing east Florida to progress much faster than the more inaccessible west Florida. With the 20th-century shift from water to land transportation, the populations of some towns along the river declined. This unusual trend continued as late as the 1990s. Development along northern Florida rivers has been limited in large part due to floodplain management ordinances, land use planning, and land acquisitionn programs designed to conserve and protect important wetland resources. Reflecting Florida's diverse history, many rivers hold names of Indian or Spanish origin. For example, Okefenokee means land of trembling earth in the Seminole language. Ponce De Leon's journeys to find the fountain of youth landed him in a place he called La Florida, meaning island of flowers. Allen, G.M. and M.B. Main. 2005. Florida's Geological History.

Problem with this is that what if the DSA wants to authenticate as A but chain as B, it cannot as the semantics of the proxyAuthz are overloaded when attached to the chainedRequest.

Mixing Wood Tones
We've had questions on here before regarding the protocol for mixing wood tones. It's a subject that can cause people quite a bit of torment when decorating a home...
We usually feel that decorating "rules" are meant to be broken, and this is no exception. Sticking to one wood tone can easily end up looking bland or matchy-matchy, whereas different types of wood and finishes can create major interest in a home, as these interiors from architect and designer Andre Rothblatt clearly show. That said, we'd love to hear what you think. Do you stick to one type/finish of wood in a room or do you mix it up?

* Annual profit more than doubles to $6.2 bln
* Q4 profit jumps to $2.1 bln from $400 mln
* Oil and gas production up 12 pct
* CFO sees oil prices dropping to $50-$55/bbl by year end
By Ron Bousso
LONDON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - BP's profits more than doubled in 2017 to $6.2 billion powered by higher prices and output of oil and gas, allowing the company to resume share buybacks as it recovers from a three-year downturn.
The company will be able to generate profits in 2018 at an oil price of $50 a barrel, Chief Financial Officer Brian Gilvary told Reuters, as years of spending cuts kicked in and as it slowly shakes off a $65 billion bill for penalties and clean up costs of the deadly 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill.
The London-listed company was the first among its European peers to resume share buybacks in the fourth quarter of 2017 after years of resorting to dilutive austerity measures in the face of the industry slump.
With a 20 percent bounce in oil prices in the last quarter of 2017 to $61 a barrel, BP had a surplus of cash that allowed it to buy $343 million worth of shares in the fourth quarter, offsetting the scrip dilution.
BP shares were trading 1.4 percent lower at 0824 GMT, compared with a 2.3 percent decline for the sector.
"2017 was one of the strongest years in BP's recent history," Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley said in a statement. "We enter the second year of our five-year plan with real momentum, increasingly confident that we can continue to deliver growth."
Full-year production rose 12 percent to 2.47 million barrels per day (bpd) after BP launched 7 new oil and gas fields in 2017, a record year.
It is set to inaugurate 5 additional projects this year including in Egypt, Azerbaijan and the UK North Sea that will help it boost its production by 800,000 barrels per day (bpd) by 2020, which will be mostly gas.
BP's refining and trading segment, known as downstream, saw profits rise to $7 billion in 2017 as earnings for the marketing division rose by more than 10 percent.
Cash flow in the fourth quarter rose slightly to $6.2 billion but fell short of market expectations, raising concerns that cost cuts have run their course, echoing concerns about rivals Royal Dutch Shell, Exxon Mobil and Chevron which reported last week.
The weakness was due mostly to lower than expected income from refining operations, BMO Capital Markets analyst Brendan Warn said.
Payments for the Deepwater Horizon spill continued to weigh on BP, which took a $1.7 billion charge in the quarter due to higher-than-expected claims settlements, bringing the total legal and clean-up costs to $65 billion.
BP also took a one-off charge of $900 million to adjust to new U.S. tax rules, though it expects a long-term boost from the lowered corporate tax rates.
Despite the strong start to oil prices, which reached a three-year high in January, Gilvary said he expected prices to come down to $50-$55 a barrel by the end of this year.
BP reported a $2.1 billion fourth-quarter underlying replacement cost profit, the company's definition of net income, topping forecasts for $1.9 billion, a company-provided survey of analysts showed.
That marked a jump from $400 million a year earlier and topped a third-quarter profit of $1.9 billion.
On an annual basis, BP's profits soared to $6.2 billion from $2.6 billion in 2016.
Gearing, the ratio between debt and BP's market value, rose to 27.4 percent at the end of 2017 from 26.8 percent at the end of September. Net debt was $37.8 billion, up from $35.5 billion a year earlier, after the company paid $5.4 billion related to the Deepwater Horizon spill.
BP's full year capital spending reached $16.5 billion, within the annual range of $15-$17 billion it plans to maintain until 2021.

I'm sorry to say that I did not take any pictures of my first adventure into the subway. It was absolutely terrifying, and way to busy figuring out where I was going. I researched my route as much as I could, but it still did not prepare me for the experience. First off, no one told me that in Tokyo's subway and train system, you have to use the same ticket you bought on your way in to exit the station. So I was stuck in the middle of Shibuya station with thousands of people bustling around me, trying to figure out how people were getting through the turnstiles to the other side. Everyone I tried to ask, looked at me like I was crazy, so I just stopped asking and stood there with my luggage like an idiot for about 10 minutes, looking for a white person. When I finally found one, I think I startled him with how I literally grabbed him by the collar and begged for his help. He just smiled and explained how things worked. Once I had gotten to the station where I was supposed to meet my housing agent, I was so exhausted from hauling my carry on up and down flights of stairs, that I almost melted when I found him. And I did it all IN A SUIT. Thanks, mom. I'm sure I looked super professional and all, but it was possibly the most uncomfortable way to travel EVER. But seriously, thanks for the suits, mom :). My room at the guest house is exactly the size I expected it to be; a postage stamp, but I'm living with some pretty cool chicks who are also foreigners working for the same company.
This is the view from my window;

This past weekend I had a whole host of people from my ultimate frisbee team at my dad's vacation home on an island in the Puget Sound. We had planned this for probably three months and I was wiped out when the time came. I mentioned in my past post that I had recently finished a big project at work. Well it was a BIG project and I've gotten very little sleep the last month. As we ramped up for our launch, I also put an offer on a house and bought it! I launched something huge on Tuesday at work and stayed up all night and Wednesday to monitor, I signed all the paperwork for the house on Thursday, and we left for our retreat on Friday. Monday I got the keys to my house. It's been a huge week. I collapsed Saturday afternoon and succumbed to a cold for the rest of the weekend. I'll give some more details of the house later!
Luckily, this pizza was made Friday night and prepped earlier in the week when I used a cooking spree to decompress from the stress of house buying and website launching.
I made the tomato sauce on Tuesday and froze it for use that weekend. The pizza dough I literally made while on the phone with my aunt in 5 minutes using my food processor. It was refrigerated and then rose in the car on the way up. We then assembled the pizzas and baked them on a pizza stone at 500-550F. We sort of threw random stuff together with red sauce and mozzarella: salami, sauteed mushroom and onions. Margherita (basil, tomato, mozzarella). Sauteed zucchini with mushroom and onions. Even a dairy-free Romesco Pizza with Carmelized Onions and Squash that Steph contributed the toppings and sauce for. The sauce was very delicious and I didn't miss the cheese one bit! It uses almonds so it's actually fairly rich.
Tomato Sauce
The tomato sauce comes from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's New York Style Pizza Sauce.
Pizza dough
The pizza dough also comes from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. His New York Style Pizza Dough is awesome. He recommends weighing it out but I usually just go by cups and it works alright. One of my pizza crusts was noticeably tastier and stretchier than the other so obviously there's an optimal way to measure the ingredients. This was by far the best pizza dough I've made before and now I have an itch to improve upon it and try different things. It's a great pizza dough recipe to start from.

Open book . . . Eli Freiman, SOM '15
On Wednesday, the Daily Voice introduces you to a student or resident at UMass Medical School. We've asked our subjects to answer a few questions that might reveal a little of their personalities. If you know someone who you'd like to see profiled, let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Eli Freiman, SOM '15, from Wellesley, is a member of Tatnuck House.
Why did you choose UMass Medical School?
I chose UMass Med because of the opportunity to study in my home state at a medical school that is so quickly gaining notoriety on the national stage. No other school I visited had such an inviting atmosphere and took their students' opinions and feedback so seriously.
Describe yourself in six words or fewer.
Hardworking goofball who never stops singing.
If you were stranded on a deserted island, name three things you would want.
A lighter w/lighter fluid; somebody stranded with me; and a boat (am I allowed to pick that?)
If you could have dinner with a famous person, living or dead, who would that be and why?
Not your typical kind of famous, but I'd choose my grandfather who was a well-known pathologist in Boston. He died before I decided to go to medical school and I'd love the opportunity to sit down with him and talk about medicine for hours.
What person or experience made you decide to pursue a medical degree and why?
It was a combination of inspiration from my grandfather, see above, and my experience as an EMT during my undergrad that really cemented my interest in becoming a physician.
What is the most interesting or challenging job (paid or unpaid) you've ever had and what did you learn about yourself?
Definitely when I worked as a counselor at a camp for children whose parents had cancer. It was challenging because these kids deal with many people's nightmare day in and day out and it's tough to figure out how to be there for these kids without having been in their situation. This camp taught me how resilient children can be and how important laughter is in our daily lives.
What would your fellow students be surprised to learn about you?
I played jazz tenor saxophone in my high school jazz band for four years!
If UMass Medical School had not been an option, what would you be doing right now?
Traveling to see parts of the world that I still haven't visited. Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia are high on my list.
If you could change the world as a physician, what would you like to do?
I'd love to send every kid with cancer back to their loved ones happy and healthy.
Most surprising thing you've found out about graduate school?
Medical students are real people too! With families and lives (sort of…)!
Most surprising thing you've discovered about Worcester?
The number of unbelievably delicious diners. Nothing makes a post-exam day better than a giant plate of diner food for breakfast.

It would appear that million dollar cars are en vogue at the moment, and why not, sometimes you need to get where you're going really fast and cost is of no concern. So if that's the case, the speed demons over at Hennessey have just the set of wheels for you.
Similar in price to its million dollar Danish counterpart the Zenvo ST1, the 2013 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder is a roofless 1,200 horsepower, sickeningly fast beast on-wheels. It packs a mid-engine V8 capable of top speeds of 275 mph. It's comprised of a lightweight carbon fiber body, carbon fiber wheels, and weighs in at 1200 kilograms.
You probably won't mind getting caught in this Spyder's web, but if the price tag doesn't cause you concern maybe this will; the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder will come in an extremely limited run, with Hennessey Performance Engineering stating they will only produce five for the year 2013, two of which are already spoken for.

I came accross Hema Kaul's SS14 collection and it stroke me how simple, yet fabulous it was! Hema is the fashion designer from Dubai and has already showcased her work at the Fashion weeks in London and Dubai. Her latest collection is full of femininity and elegance, expressed through pastel and metallic colours, lots of lace details and clean, classic cuts.
The pieces from the collection are easy to incorporate into a life of a modern woman, who appreciates simplicity and wants to show her feminine side.
The black dresses are my personal favourites!
